COVENT-GARDEN. The Managers of this Theatre paid a proper compliment to the geniOs of our unrivalled Dramatic Bard, by commencing the season last night with the Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. The part of Romeo is one of the best achievements of Mr. C. KEMBLE, and he may fairly be said to be the best representative of the character now on the stage. Ile has evidently studied the feelings, as well as the text, of the part, and he performed it last night with all his wonted energy. He was very much applauded on his entrance ; so was JONES in Mereutio, and he gave to this sprightly part all requisite gaiety. CONNOR, also, was well received in Tyball. lie is a judicious actor, and rendered the part suffi ciently prominent. Mrs. DAVENPORT, who seems to be little affected by the progress of time, was not less active and effective in the Nurse, and she also partook of public favour. Miss F. H. KELLY is improved in person. Her Juliet is decidedly her best performance. She supported the part last night with great feeling. Itis to be regretted that she does not employ some care ful instructor, and endeavour to divest herself of so strong an Hibernian accent. It generally marks her pronunciation, and in some of her tones incurs the hazard of producing a ludicrous effect. This we conceive to be the chief draw back upon her acting. The Tragedy went off very well altogether. The Afterpiece was :he last new Pantomime, Harlequin and Poor Robin. The audience was more numerous than is gene rally seen on the opening night of a season. The gallery was disgustingly noisy and restless. Miss FARREN, now Countess of DERBY, Miss BRUNTON, now Countess of CuAvint, and Miss BOLTON, now Lady Tit uitto w, by their distinguished marriages, and exemplary lives, give indubitable testimony of .the improved moral character of the British Stage since the days of - King Cniou.xs the Second. _ Miss WILSON does not intend to accept.any engagements at any of the great Theatres during her stay on the Continent.— Mr. WELCH will remain with his pupil until her return to England, anti whilst they are in Italy they will visit all the grand Operates in Florence, Kome, Naples, Verona and Venice, and perhaps the Theatres in Germany, for the purpose of this young Lady's improvement.in the science of music. _ ln one of the exhibitions of the Royal Aca demy, there was a whole length painting of GAnnicti in Richard the Third, which.was universally allowed to be the best likeness of him ever executed. One morning as Garrick was going dawn stairs from the exhibition room, he was met by a Nobleman who asked him how he did? " Why faith, my Lord," repli asked" him Garrick, " but so-so, this morning; but when your Lordship gets up stairs, you will see me as well as ever I was in my lite." PISCATORIAL I NSANIT Y.—STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 7. —The Physicians of Helsingelattd made on the 26th of August a Report to the College of Health, that in May and June a very remark able agitation was observed among the pikes. —These fish first collected in groups, and dashed themselv es with great violence on the rocks or on the shore, so as to cause violent contusions on their heads. Behind the dorsal fins there was found in all of them a large tu mour filled with blood, and their skins full of cracks. Not being fit ' to eat in this state, the people were advised, by an Ordinance of Aug. 14, by the Governor of the Province, to bury these fish at some considerable distance from any habi tations. There can be no doubt but this Ordi nance would be complied with. • THEOLOISICAL TABRARY.-1 he Duke of Sus eE has, it is said, the most stupendous collection of Theologi cal Worka extant—between 80 and. 70,000 volumes, among which there are upwards of 150 different editions of the Bible. It is reported his Royal highness means to bequeath the en tire collection to one of the Llniventities.—(Sunday Paper.)

NEW PANonAmliDaring the recent repnra of St. Paul's Cathedral it must be remembered that a scaffold was erected several feet above the cross, for the accommodation of 111 r. lioiiH E R, an artist, who passed many successive weeks on that lofty station, in making am accurate panoramic view of the surrounding metropolis. Few persons could be found sufficiently intrepid to have ventured to .gratify curiosity at such a risque, or climbed to that appalling bi g ht, am id st l a dd ers and sca ff o ld. lug poles, tottering in every breeze, even for a purse of gold., We litiVetoften felt a desire to see the sketches from this bird': eye view of London, without the means of gratifying our wish ; but we, in con - inlet) with others, may expect a greater treat than this in the ensuing spring. A building is now erecting on the bor. der of the Regent's Park, for the exhibition of apanoramic paint. ing of this scene. Let this be executed , with the'truth, force of ef feet, and aerial perspective, which characterise the works exhibit. ing in the neighbouring Diorama, or those illusive scenes which we have visited with so much delight the works ofiliessni. Barker in Leicester-square and the Strand, .and it cannot fail to repay the enterprising artist for his labour.—The building is circuity, and the interior is one hundred and thirty feet in diameter—a space thirty feet wider than the whispering gallery within the dome of St. Paul's. Here then is a field for the display of this imitative art.—(Sotneract house Gazette.y A celebrated collector of autographs has in his possession a curious document, which we have seen, viz. a Bill of Exchange draw?! during the war with France by Chateau briancl on Dulau, ocSoho-square,,three months after date, for five pounds, which bill was discounted by Messrs. Hammers ley and Co., Patmall.‘—(Morning Chronicle.) RAVAGES COMMITTED BY GAME.--Et has been calculated that the corn destroyed by game, in the county of Hants alone, would be sufficient to maintain 2000 people for a year, and that the labour of persons imprisoned in the same county for offences against the Game Laws would be adequate to carry on a manufactory of silk,' woollen, or cotton, employing a capital of 100,0001. ROBBERY AT LORD EGREMONT'S.—Twv men, named Franks and Broadley, were brought up to Bow-street Office this day,. charged with stealing an immense quantity of lead and several bars of solder from the premises of LOrd Egre. mont, No. 4, Grosvenor -place. It appeared, from the evidence of Henry Harrington, the clerk at the works, in which he w as su pp orted by the master builder, that in consequence of a quantity of lead being stolen, the two pri soners were suspected, and on searching their persons two rolls of great weight were found concealed under their coats. The prisoners did not deny having the property in their possession, I?ut said they had no iotention of taking it away. They were both committed. c.k7P.E -i s tkz-k, * •fr i * 4; 'al?

Gentleman witnessed the children (about twelve hundred) at dinner, and seemed much surprised when he was informed that there were upwards of six thousand at Mine, exclusive of what was then present, and that in such an institution there should be upwards of seven thousand children without acknowledged parents. From thence he proceeded to the Richmond Penitentiary, Circular -road. The good order, regularity, and industry t h at pervaded this Establishment, struck him most forcibly. After which he visited the Post office. He particularly inspected all the departments. The Right Honourable Gentleman having expressed a wish to see the manner in which the Mails were made up, a num ber of. the clerks were immediately summoned, and the re ceiver being opened, the whole process was gone through, with which Mr. Canning seemed highly gratified. Ile subsequently partook of a splendid dejcunt provided by Sir Edward Lees. The Right Hon. Gentleman returned to the Viceregal Lodge, where a select party were assembled to meet him at the table of the Lord Lieutenant. On Friday Mr. Canning proceeded with the Lord Lieutenant, who was accom panied by his suite, and escorted by a guard of honour, to Malahide Castle, on a visit to Colonel Talbot, and partook of an elegant entertainment. This day the Noble Marquis and Mr. Canning were to confer a similar honour on the Duke of Leinster, at his seat at Carton.—Mr. Canning has not been in Dublin till now since he was 18 years of age; and the improve ments and alterations which have been m a de in this city d ur i ng that interval have excited his surprise and admir a tio n . To morrow is fixed, we understand, for the departure of the Right Honourable Gentleman for England. His Excellency the Lonl Lieutenant 'entertained the under named distinguished personages at dinner, at the Viceregal Lodge, on the following days :-- 22.—Mr. Catining, Lord Howard - de Walden, Mr. Stapleton, Lord Gort, Lord Killeen, the Lord Mayor, Elect, , Sir John Burke, Baron Sir William Smith, Sir Edward Lees, Mr. Denis Browne, M.P., Mr. Martin, M.P., Mr. Spring Rice, M.P., Doctor Radcliff, the Archdeacon of Dublin, Archdeacon Bishop, Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald, M.P., Mr. James Daly, M.P., Mr. Hume, Mr. Farrah, Mr. Grant, Mr. Verschoyle, Colonel Finch, Colonel Shave, Sir Cohn Campbell, Major Brownlow, and Colonel D'Arcy.

M.P. for the Borough, was present. Admiral Markham was prevented from attending, by being that day at t h e funeral of a friend. —The King, and ther loyal toasts being drank, the health of the Members for the Borough was given, when Mr. Carter rose to re t urn thanks for the honour which had been done him and hi s wort hy Colleague; and he to o k t h e opportu nity of alluding to the proceedings of' the last Session of Parlia ment, of which he was happy to observe, from the cordiality that had subsisted between the Ministers and the Opposition, there was but little for him else to say, other than to speak in com mendation of the several measures which had been adopted by I Government for the public good.—There was one circumstance, however, which had afforded strong ground for disapprobation; he meant the apprehension, trial, and condemnation of the late Missionary Smith at Demerara. He did not allude to the oc currence in a r e ligious point of view, but as a great encroach ment upon the principle of civil and religious liberty.—The Mayor and M ayor Elect severa lly returned thanks on their healths being given ; and the evening was spent i n a manner suitable to the occasion.- (Hanwhiro Telegraph).

HUNTING. ilk Majesty's buck hounds commence the hunting sewn the 10th of October, and are in excellent order. PnonucTlvE LAnoun.—" Flourishing cities," Dr. PALEY observes, " have been raised and supported by trading in tobacco; populous towns subsist by the manufac ture of ribbands. A watch may be a very unnecessary appendage to the dress of a peasant ; yet if the peasant will till the ground in order to obtain a watch, the true design of commerce is an swered ; and the watchmaker, while he polishes the ease and files the wheels of his ingenious machine, is contributing to the production of corn as effectually, thought not so directly, as if he handled the plough or the spade. The use of tobacco is an acknowledged superfluity; but if the fisherman will ply his nets, and the mariner fetch rice from foreig,n countries, in or. der to procure to himself this indulgence, the market is sup plied with two important articles of pmvision by the instrumen tality of a merchandise which has no other apparent use than the gratification of a vitiated palate."—This reasoning cannot be controverted ; and it is decisive of the productiveness of those who are so improperly called unproductive labourers. Suppose we were to substitute the words opera or theatre for tobacco in the previous quotation, it would not make the slightest difference on the result. The taste for theatrical ex hibitions has exactly the same effect on national wealth as a taste fbr tea, tobacco, or champagne. To gratify it there must, generally speaking, be an increase of industry.—And it is thus undeniably certain, that the opera dancer, the grace and dex terity of whose movements attract a crowd of admiring specta tors, is; by exciting their industry, adding justas efft.ctuallv to the national wealth as if she were employed in ,a cotton mill.— ( Seutsman. ) S LTC TnAnE.—We feel much pleasure (says The Coventry Herald) in being able to report the riband.ma. nufacture in this city and neighbourhood in a more flourishing state at the present season thadhaslever been remembered, as an adequate supply for the demand cannot be prOduced, which has caused a general advance in wages throughout the trade, and a trifling one also in manufactured stock; but as silks have risen very considerably in price, with an expectation Of an additional advance, in consequence of' the unprecedented con sumption leaning the market unusually bare, a proportionate rise is now taking, place, which (as it is only fair and reasonable we doubt not will be readily o b ta i ne d. F rom t h e v e ry genera l and gratifying improvement every where risible in commercial affairs, we sincerely hope this city will not for a long time have to complain of any depression either in the riband or watch de. partments ; the latter of which we are also happy to find is in a flourishing condition, and that wage; have in consequence advanced considerably.

POPULATION.--A woman named Tribondeau (instead of Quatre-bondeau), of Vire (Sarihe), whose existence we are sure Mr. Malthus would Consider an outrage upon hu manity, was delivered °film,- children at a birth in 1828; and, it seems, not being properly punished for this ofince, - she re peated it in August last, by bringing three girls and a boy into this breathing world. The satisfaction diffused in Sivuwatoirr's Con- tracts, incontestibly proved by the increased number of Tickets disposed of, renders it almost superfluous to invite the Public to their Offices, as they may justly observe their principles are judiciously adopted and copied by others, viz.— giving a large number of Capital Prizes, which somebody is sure to gain, whilst every Purchaser is sure to get back 5/. per Ticket at least, Shares in proportion ; and FOUR of £20,000, with 34 other Capitals, will be d r aw n i n O ne D ay (sth October), being, in all, £200,000 P r i ze M oney, Officeswlti t m o a f y m n now rs b . e j o . b a t ai nt t i let e J. s t v t 11. 1 , : c o n r i t T u , n 3 a 7 te , Cornhill ; 11, IL-.lborn ; and 38, Haymarket, where they Sold Seven Capitals last Lottery— and No. 17,745, 220,000 HAZARD and Co. are the Contractors for the present popular Lottery.

CURIOUS LOCAL CUSTOMS.--In the parish of • Warlingham, in Surrey, there is a custom which seems to re. i fer to the rites performed in honour of Pomona. Early tit the spring, the boys go round .to several orchards in the parish, and whip the apple-trees, in order to procure a Oen tiful crop of fruit; and after having clone it, they carry a little bag to the house, where the goo d woman g i ves them son e meal or oatmeal. A tAbingdon, in Berkshire, the first Sunday en which the new Mayor goes to church after his election, the peo ple of the town adorn the nutside of their \ houses with boughs • of trees and garlands of !lowers, and the paths are strewed with nishes. This ceremony is more particularly attended to in the street where the Mayor happens to live, and his house is die tinguished by extraordinary decorations. Some time since, that pnblic spirited Gentle, man, Sir M. S. STEWART, employed Mr. Thom, engineer, to survey the rivulets and springs in the vicinity of Grecnocli, to ascertain if a supply of water could be brought into the town. That able engineer has given in a report highly favourable toe the scheme. A supply to any extent can be obtained front the Shawn Water, and the fine fall of 500 feet, which will result from the mode in which it is proposed to be con ducted to the vicinity of the town, will be of sufficient mag nitude for impelling the machinery of a number of new manufactories, besides supplying those already established, several of which were obliged to stop work this year for want 6f water. From the warm interest taken in the plan by Sir Michael and his factor, there Is every reason to believe that the undertaking will be completed in the couise of next year. Conms tees INQUEST.--An Inquest was held yesterday before 111 r. limo's, Coroner for Westminster, at the Red Lion, Crown-Court, Pall-mall, on the body of George Sil -1 velum Jas. Dimollne, of 3-I, Villiers -street, Strand, d e p o sed —Yesterday afte rnoon . about three o'clock, I was walking in the Mall in St. James's : park, and was informed by some boys that the deceased was in the water. I undressed, and dived in, and succeeded in getting him out. • Many people assent. bled, a blanket was procured, and the d e c ease d was carr i e d to the Suttling . house, St. James's Palace. It was church-tithe. and the house was closed. The landlord was told what lead taken place, and, though animation was suspended, that if means were used, the deceased might be restored. The landlord re plied---" that his was not a public-house, and he would not re ceive the body, and we might do our best and our worst." The crowd told him the object we had in view was tq „save the life of the deceased ; but he laughed at us. 'rime aas lost arguing with hint, and we finally took the deceased to this house. 11r. J. Marshall, 63, Jermyn,strcet, said, he was called to see the de. ceased, and used means for three quarters of an hour to recover him ; and he might have been restored bad not so much time been previously lost by his being carried from one. public-house to another. The body had been out of the water half an hour betbre witness was called in. The 'Jul*, after some observa tions upon the conduct of the keeper of the Suttling-house, re turned a verdict-44 Accidentally Drowned;" and requested the Coroner to write to the Board of Green Cloth, by whom the Sutt ng-house is lic ense d, to i n f orm the Board of the conduct 11 1 of the keeper of the 'house, and of their reprobation of it.— ' The Coroner said, th at as every m i nute was of the greatest consequence at such a t i me , he thought the landlord was very blameable in refusing to admit the boy into his Jiouse, and pre mite(' to comply with the wishes of the Jury. • • DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE.-00 Tuesday evert. ing, about nine 'o'clock, a man knocked at the door of Mr. Mountjoy, South Clarence-street, anti the servant having incautiously opened the door, a number of ruffians gain ed entrance, and rushed up stairs to Mr. Alountjoy's bed room, armed with sticks, dragged hint from his bed into the street, and assaulted him in a very cruel manaer.— While these villains were thus occupied, another gang outside broke the windows, and all instantly departed, after having fired a shot, as it is supposed, front a:pistol. This attack,, so shocking to human nature, is, it seems; the result of combination. Mr. Mountjoy is a roaster-builder, em ploys a man named Delany, whom the trade designate , a colt, and the ferocious assault committed is a speci men in the way of Captain lock's administration' of justice, which cannot be put down or punished with too much expedi. tion. This disgraceful act, however, should induce servants not to open doors in retired streets, without taking the precau. tion of leaving the door on chain until the visitor is recog. nized.—( Dublin Corrnpandeni, Sept. 23.) The, following infamous ket ~of cruelty an d oppression- we insert on the authority of a respectable cot. respondent; but we hope, for the honour of humanity, it is untrue :---A few days since, a fellow, with whose name we are unacquainted, who, it appears, obtains his livelihood by prowling about and pouncing on .the unwary, met the well known Simon Solomon, then in his. IlOth year, who, for these 40 years past, must have been familiar to our citizens of Bath, by the little box of trinkets he constantly , carried under his arm. This wretch, i t app ea r s , d eman d ed h i s license, which the poor fellow, from his extreme..PovertY, had been unable: to procure. He then, with the molt unfeeling brutality, dragged the poor old man up' to', the Guildhall, where lie was, for the first time in-' his life locked up .as a cr i m i.. g . nal. On being released, he actually pawned alt his little - five. shillings, to Purchase a license. This sudden wreck of hi s little property, together with the disgraceful treatment -. twenty'. stock of merchandize, not exceedin in value which occasioned it, so preyed upon his mind, that although in the regular enjoyment of good health, It from that time be. gar rapidly to decline, be soon took to his bed, and survived the above melancholy circumstance only one week !._(Bath JOiltna) ROBBERlES. —Yesterday evening the house of ton,lk I r J ‘wv, A i. ahu b sia l e ll , S bt i tut i hy : (4 l y p oi 1 sft escaped Inas, 1 r)1 e l yi di entered a o ni i I:l'pts‘i the 1 c ' rr i ieo l 1 t hii ' v r ioeey r übrsest e t.dedh e r s.io.eolvi l iv i. : til, e xas). l tii,% l iv l l e, 1 :111 1 1s128 I t e,f t I, g rattio.. .. obtained admittance from the back pa rt o f the premises, by forcing the pannel and bolts o f t h, kitchen door.
