THE THEATRES. #lt YMARKET.--We were glad to see the ster ling old comedy of The Busy Body revived at this 'Theatre last night ; for though it partakes of the freedom of the age in which it was written, yet, by the variety of its characters, and the ob stacles with which they have to contend, it is ad mirably calculated to amuse a mixed audience. It‘was altogether so well supported, as to deserve •' a more numerous audience. HAliLny's Marptot 1 46- very amusing, and FA nnEsi's Sir Francis Gripe a model of amorous folly and avarice. VINING, though light and bustling, has not the critical ease of Sir George Airy. Mrs. G inns, unequalled in chamber-maids, was one of the chief prop s of the Piece. Sprightliness and easy hanwur characterized the Miranda of Miss Cn es nit, and the whole was so pleasant, that we shall readily attend a repetition of this humorous effusion of female genius. ENousu OPERA 110 USE.—A new Farce, en titled Jonathan in England, was brought forward last night at this,Theatre. It is founded chiefly on. Mr. AlATittws'a late Entertainment at this Theatre, and was intended, to give scope to his Imitation of the manners of the mere trading part of the Americans, without any design' of depre ciating their general character as a people. In this view it fully accomplished its object. It Presented Mr. IVIATnEws with all that dry hu moar which he is so Nveil calculated to display, and the Piece, on the whole, was so well received, US to promise a successtul career. The second novelty last night was a Piece of a more serious description, though not unmingled with farcical incidents : it is called The Frozen Lake. The following sketch will let our Readers into the PLOT. The Prince's Louisa (Miss Nopr.), daughter of the Grand Du i° of Suatia (Mr. BART! /'N') . is solicited in marriage by thoughtt e /'ri);c e de Neu bo;ir,, ,, (Mr. .11'11'FNC11.) She has, however, Pro Per to select - a husband ;lifted to her own taste, and ploevuiously disposed of her hand in a secret union with the I;t de Lein:berg (Mr. PEArt MAN), a valiant soldier . of her l infather's COUrt. The Count, hearing of the rumoured suit of t C Arenbour, pits th e army, and joins the gay thrpn i , io e bsou.,t!he urt.

He summons prtts to his presence, and before he avows the extent of a foundling knawledge, discloses to , the Count, who had been reared as m the Royal Palace, that he is his son. The un i rellt'PoYrsi:sn,link to the ground overwhelmed with shame am his momentary pang was the only revenge sought Pintas ehe generous pare nt , and he h astens to restore them to hap 6'7pp ano to each' miler by pushin g on his assertion to its 1 viz. that th e count must be his son, since lie was the the u!ntroolons applause of the audience. As for the Prince de euouurg,•he has very conveniently fallen in love with the eoNldante of his intended, whom he sought only in compliance "nth the counsels of his Ministers. This person is the Baroness de Ratifehl (Miss XELLY.) The Proprietor has done justice to the Piece by the splendour of the resses and the y, and it want e d no aid that good acting could af ford in th e exertions of Miss KELLY, 13.titmr.v, W RENCH, PEA lIMAN, and Miss NOEL.

This scene of festivity and splendour closed for the season last night, and it must be acknow ledged that, from the origin of the place, never have any former Proprietors exerted themselves with more zeal and liberality than the present. They have evidently spared neither trouble nor expence to gratify the Public with varied amuse ments. Nor have they been inattentive to the Public safety, for though, upon a general esti mate, it is presumed that upwards of 200,000 persons have visited the Gardens during the pre sent season, yet only one robbery took place, and the guilty party was immediately taken into custody, and brought to legal punishment. The Gardens were full last night, and luckily all the amusements had ended before the fall of rain. A few jovial spirits were a little too unruly, and probably " cracked crowns and bloody noses" were the result, but not to disturb the general pleasure. During the evening the following Address was delivered by Mr. WILLIAMS, and loudly applauded by a very numerous audience 44 LADIES AND GENTLEMEN-At the conclusion of the third year of the present Proprietorship of tkese Gardens, I have first to offer you their most sincere and respectful acknowledg ments fur a Season of great success and popularity. " Honoured as they have .been by the gracious Patronage of his Majesty, the preset ice of Royalty, and the repeated visits of the highest classes of the Nobility and the British Nation, the Proprietors cannot but with regret acknowledge, that this evening comes, like the close of a delightful summer's day,—too soon ! Vet to prolong the sunshine of their success to the detriment of other public Establishments, would only end to lessen them in your estimation, and consequently in their own. .Your generous patronage has redeemed every hazardous expenditure, and given a renewed impulse to future exertion. " The appropriation of one night only, in the season, to the Juvenile Fete, seems to have given such entire satisfaction, that the Proprietors have determined not to alter that arrange ment in future. " The general and unvarying approbation which, through out the season, has been bestowed on the various amusements and arrangements, as well as on the refreshments, wines, &c. is a matter of high gratification to the Proprietors ; to deserve a continuance of which will be their incessant aim. " Improvements are in contemplation for the next season, which the Proprietors trust will continue to render Vauxhall the resort of the Noble, the Fashionable, and a discerning British Public. " In the name of the Proprietors, and of every Member of this Establishment, I beg to offer their grateful acknowledg ments, and most respectfully to say—Farewell !" THE ARMY. Major-General Sir Hen TORRENS, the Adjutant-Gene ral, proceeded yesterday to Chatham, for the purpose of inspect ing the 2d Regiment of Foot, of which he is Colonel, the 7th Royal nisileers, and the Ist Battalion of the 60th, which has recently arrived from Quebec. A party of the Royal Artillery, which assisted in performing the duty at Chatham, will, in con sequence of the arrival there of the ist Battalion of the 60th, return to Woolwich.

Yesterday Mr. Secretary CANNING came to town from Gloucester Lodge, where he slept the night before, and transacted business at the Fo reign Office. Yesterday the Prince de POLIGNAC, Ambas sador from the Court of France, transacted busi ness at the Foreign Office with Mr. Secretary CANNING, who, we are happy to state, is quite recovered from his recent indisposition. A favourite gander, which had lived 30 years at the farm of Locherwood, and a still longer period at Mousewald Mains, died a few days ago at the latter place, fairly worn down by age anti infirmity. Thus far his hi, tory is fully known ;_ but as he was evidently no stripling when first domesticated at Locherwood, it is not improbable that his span was stretched to the long. period of seventy or eighty years. Few eastern potentates have had more wives, and not one of them, perhaps, so many sons anti daughters; and if there be any merit in furnishing the principal dish to several hundred Christmas feasts, we should like to know the Moslem who has been half so useful in his day and generation. This season the geese at Mousewald Mains not only tidied to breed, but refused to take any charge of a race of goslings that had been hatched as her own, by an India. criminatmg duck ; in this emergency the philanthropic gander stood forth as sponsor to the orphan brood, and by nightly gathering them under his wings, is believed to have hastened his own dissolution.—( Dun tion.—( Dumfries Courier.) On Thursday afternoon, as the workmen who are constructing the coffer-dams for the new Lon don-bridge, were clearing away dirt from the bed of the river, with a machine fixed on board a vessel, and worked by a steam-engine, the bucket brought up the kg and thigh of a female (which was beautifully shaped, with a small foot), on which were a silk stocking and shoe. The body, it was conjectured, had been carried with the current against the side of the coffer-dam, where there were more piles to be driven, and that a pile had literally been driven through it, or the body must have been brought up altogether, in. stead of the kg and thigh being torn off, which was the case. The rest of the body has not yet been recovered. It. must have been in the water at least a fortnight by the appearance of the leg and thigh. One of the workmen employed in removing the pipes attached to the old water-works, Lon don-bridge, near the wharf of Tnomesor; and Co., coal-merchants, lately discovered, at a con siderable depth below the surface, a large piece of gold coin, in high preservation, bearing the efy►gy of Louts XIV. The man sold it, and it is now in the possession of Mr. COPE, one of the c ity Marshals. THE KING, &c.

The Royal Party amused themselves with angling, a sport for which this extensive lake is peculiarly adapted, until nearly five o'clock, when they left the fishing boats for the Royal banqueting barge, to partake of a most sumptuous repast sent in a caravan from the Royal Lodge. The Band of the Grenadier Guards were in attend ance, and played the whole of the afternoon some of the finest pieces from Rossini and Mozzart. His Majesty and Visitors did not quit the water until some time after seven o'clock, when they returned to the Royal Lodge.—Yesterday afternoon her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta took an airing through ' Old Ni'intlsor, Egham, and Bishop gate, and returned dasiiiT the Long Walk to Frogmore.

After the match at Pigeons, between the Ashton, the New Hats, and the Midgham Clubs on Monday, it has been already stated, that a match was made between the Clubs that three picked members, or one from each Club, should, for 200 sov. contend on the Ist of September, who should bag the greatest number of partridge and hare.. The Members were upon this occasion, Messrs. Mimic (31ttigharn), Hawthorne (Ashton), and Nash, of the Old Hats' Club. Each of these members killed all their pigeons (seven) in the Club matches. It was agreed that the sports should cease at twelve o'clock, and to shoot with a single barrelled gun, each accotnpanied by two umpires from the adverse parties choosing. The commence ment of operations took place at I)urnmer, three miles from Farnham, Surrey, each taking different directions with his brute of dogs only. The result was as follows: Bagged. Partridges.

BOW-STREET--(Tnrs DA.v.) STREET ROBBERY. John Hayman, better known as the flapper, a notorious character, was brought up, by Addy, an offic er , on a charge of street robbery. It appeared from the evidence adduced, that as a gentleman, named Sadd, was passing along. James.street, Covent-garden, this - morning, in companrwith a lady andgentleman, he was followed by the prisoner and another person, when suddenly his handkerchief was taken from his pocket,and as the gentleman thinks in a moment was conveyed by the prisoner to his companion who instantly decamped. The pri. soner however was secured. The worthy Ma. gistrate,said, as the actual stealing from the per 'son was Mot proved, a doubt would remain upon. conviction, and committed him for the misde. meanour, and also as a reputed thief. r ail a i dgTea warrant, 1 'il a r n itai and rl 'it 398 a ° s °l i t : h T1: 1 1 11 ; n f rai t irle ;l n i Tt e -htßee warrant Er'r'Eaffi c.i.ce'. e r‘ : i lac a ls h i r s ai i i i lll n igi c h i ll kl :i t e f : ltal ' a l cieae l I . us PI I )Th r u s le cr . ceal ; lt i ee ' r h °l upon i ur . who, by, the following statement, appeared to be the principal in the transaction, but the officer did not succeed in apprehend ing her. . Mrs. Haynes, a f ema l e o f extraordinary personal attractions, and very genteel manner, stated, that she had resided for sama time past at - Ns. 7, Southampton-terrace, and that Mr. Baths. way has hut lately come to reside in that neighbourhood, add on his coin alo, solicited h er custom, a Welt he ev e r sines enjoyed. SO ''' months ago A. gentleman whom she under stood. to be-a great respectabil it y, succeeded in winning her affections, and became a favoured visitor at her h ouse , b ut 1 4. whether he was a married or a single man she newe r kn e w or took the trouble to inquire. On Saturday last, as she and her friend were sitting in her parlour, between eight anti nine o'clock, taking their wine after dinner, a knock came to the street door, and it was no sooner opened than a lady entered, and first tak.. - ing the precaution to lock the Street door inside, and put 'the •;', key in her pocket, she rushed into the parlour, and commenced„ smashing every article of furniture—tables, chairs, looking. glasses, decanters, &c. at the same time exclaiming that before '' she f topped she would have witness's life,,and that of her own husband also, who, Mrs. Haynes now, for the first time, learned had be..a for' so many months her companion. The lady ' announced her name to be White, and consequeutly tl-2e the gentleman must be Mr. White. The husband, as soon as he could recover from his surprise (if any thing could stir.... • prise him), laid hold on t h e w if e an d floored her. llirs. IVltite . ' ' called " M urder !"—a mob of about 100 persons collected • - about the house, burst open the doors and windows, entered the • -: house, and on hearing front Mrs. White her statement of erns- vances, joined with her, and proceeding over the whole !toffee. ' smashed every ar ticl e i n i t , b ro k e a valuable pinao-forte and a beautiful guitar to pieces, carried away almost all her wearing • apparel, stole her reticule and some sovereigns in it, and no . doubt would, as they expressed a determination to do, have ' torn Mrs. !Jaynes herself to pieces, had she not with great tilt. ticulty clambered over an adjoining wall and taken shelter in a neighbour's house, and Mr. White escaped from their fury ' in an equally miraculous way, with almost every stitch of clothes torn from his back. The charge against Mr. Hathaway was, that he was tht ring. leader of this outr ageous attack upon the louse, and vowed die ' destruction of Mrs. Haynes herself. Mr. Hathaway listened very coolly to this recital, and, when called upon for his defence, said, that of Mr. White,Mrs. Whit e or Mrs. llaynes, h e k new not hi ng more t h an that he had served the house, No. 7, for a short time with meat. On Saturday • evening last, as be was standing at his own door,which was with. in three of Mrs. Ilaynes',_he heard desperate cries of m ur d er ' from No. 7, which at t rac t e d a vast crowd of persons, who insisted ' upon being admitted ;and being at first refused, they fbreed one of the shutters of the parlour-window, and saw a man, with a woman under him . , his knee upon her stomach, and endeavour. ing to strangle her, The • mob was then about to force the door, when somebody inside, opened it, and the crowd rushed in ; andon the instant the man from within made his esc a p e through the cro w d, after 'a desperate struggle, Mr. Hathaway, who was one of the very last,' he said, that entered the house, went to the assistance ,of the woman in the parlour, whom he did not succeed in recovering Mr a long time ; and she th e n re lated to the people how this Mrs. Haynes had been kept by her • husband, and living splendidly on the produce of her industry; and that every article tn. the house, and ;lie house itself, were purchased with her money. Upon this appeal, the mob' did certainly join Mrs. White, and he believed the house was pretty well cleared •out ; but as fcir himself, Mr. Ilathawuy de. dared that he did nothing more than assist Mrs. White to re. cover from her half strangulation. Several persons, neighbours, who entered the house at the • same time, confirmed the statement of Mr. Hathaway. Mr. Ran:, the Magistrate, said, that, under all the circura. stances, he did not co ns id er M r . Hathaway liable to be held to bail, and discharged the warrant. ' With respect to Mrs. White, Wales, the officer, said that he had been three times to her house to apprehend her, but could not find her. She keeps a brothel, No. Ild, Lisle -street, Leicester-square ; and her husband, who has caused all this uproar and contention, is the notorious fluflby White.—So much for ladies quarrelling aboutgenikmen! HATTON-GAIMEN.—INTERNUPTION TO THE AMOSE• MENTSOF BARTMOLOMEW FAlR—Jr:mei Good beard (whose chin was no disgrace to his name) was brought by John Ault, watch-honse.keeper on the Foundling Estate, charg- Ise' with a premature display of hits talents, last night, iu the neighbourhood of Brunswick-square. Several watch. men deposed that at a late hour lust night, the de- Pendant took by surprise the inhabitants (who were not prepared for the appearance of " Richard") and in it tine tone of voice, delicately attenuated by those experienced modulators, Hodges ' aud Go., yoederated, " I know I was drunk, but Richard's himself again." Though he'delivered this expression with great emphasis and truth, the inhabitants were. the more alarmed at hearing that he was recovering his origi nal character, and accordingly besought the watchmen to give their aid in keeping him in his disguised state. Their etiOrts were, however, totally unavailing for mare than three quar tets of an hour; they however triumphed ultimately, but not without receiving many still preserved marks of his powers.— The prisoner, who rather novelly represented the crook-backed tyrant, as he was nearly seven feet high, and of athletic appear. ance, stated in his defence that he was a fishmonger by trade. that was no interference to his profession:of a play-actor ; he was engaged to exhibit this day at Bartholomew fair, anti he was just preparing a few recantations according to his agreement. , The Magistrate showed so little respect and encouragement for his thematic talents, that he discharged the prisoner, ad.: vising him to depend entirely oa nature, and as he was s eve n feet high exhibit himself as a giant.
