i i " • THEATRICALS. IVOATIIIMO, SEPT. 30.--Our Theatre has been tolerably well attended. Mrs. OuGER, who had k Roisterous and fashionable audience on Monday lut, at Brighton, patronized by Lady AItELI BOYCE, is now performing here with consider able success. As her talents have a wider scope for exertion than in town, she appears to more advantage. I Ac Lady Lambert, in The Hypo erde, was admired in London for its unaffected simplicity ami feeling ; but here she peformed the part of the sprightly Charlotte in the same Comedy, On Wednesday, with such spirit as 611Pws the variety of her powers. Iler Kilky Ca- Theleon,in the Piece entitled I'. Q. has been so much commended in London as well as in Pro vincial Theatres, that we are surprised so whim ical a dramatic sketch seldom brought for tr•ard. Worthing has no reason to complain that it has not had its due proportion of Sununer vi sitors this season. The company in general have petit social. Lodgings have not been unreason able, and, altogether, health as well us amuse meta has attended us. _____....., . • EWCASTLE T HEATitP..---On Friday ( "Telling, the 3 d inm, being the last night of performance under the present managenient, anti for the benefit of Mr. DE CAMP' new comedy of Charles the Second WWI represented, by desire the sod under the patronage of Col.

THE SANDWICH VISITORS. His MAJEST r having expressed his wish, that prior to the suite leaving this country they should be introduced to his Royal presence, Mr. Secretary Canning communicated his Majesty's pleasure to Mr. Reeve on Thursday, and this day they will be presented to the King at Windsor Castle. Friday next is the (lay appointed for the departure of the suite for Portsmouth, where they will wait to join the Monde. The King, prior to his death, executed a testamentary document, wherein he leaves two thousand pounds sterling to be equally divided tunung his attendants. In the interview on Thursday 31r. Canning made numerous presents to the suite, as tokens of respect. , 1 To Madame Iloki he gave several splendid dresses of English manufacture, jewellery of every description, besides a service of silver knives and forks. To Mr. Reeve he pre 'cited a most elegant writing desk, replete with every necessary accommodation. To the rest of the suite he also made hand some resenta, amongst which were boxes of every description of tools for mechanical purposes, and also a quantity of agri cultural implements. Mr. ltecve, the Secretary to the late King' and queen of the Sandwich Islands, did not return to London till ~i ednesdny last from bihourne, in France, of which port his hither has been Captain fir many years. Mr. Reeve had not seen any of his family for the last twenty-two years, nor had he held the least correspondence with them, consequently he knew not where to find them. On reaching Bourdeaux he went to thhas e theatre, and ma his coming out and e n t er i ng a coffee-rain], heard the name of M. llenard mentioned by some date com pany, and having some slight recollection o t the name, he re quested to be int ro d uce d to t h a t gent l eman, w h o was one of the con9any,when the gratification and surprise of both can be more easily conceived than described, when Al. I lenard turned Out to be a cousin of Mr. Reeve's. The latter was immediately con ducted to Libourne, where he was met by his aged parents and all his relations. The scene on l lr. Reeve's entrance was affect ing beyond description. When Mr. Reeve left to return to this country, the parting between them was equally affecting. Ilk parents entreated him not to return to the Sandwich Islands, as there could be no necessity for his services now their Majesties were no more. .Mr. Reeve said that no doubt if lie did not re turn, as he was the only person with the King and Queen when they died, various unpleasant reports might be circulated ; therefore for his character's sake, he felt it to be his bounden duty to accompany the suite to the islands, but in the course of a year or two he would resign his situation and spend the remainder of his days with his family. + 46...- THE DUKE OF BUCKINOHAWS TOUR. Ilis Grfice the Duke of Bucxi Notran arrived on Wednes day (Ist inst.) at Greenock in his y ac ht, accompanied by his Majesty's revenue cruiser Success, Lieutenant William Au gustus Thomson, Commander. Ills Grace was pleased to con fer the honour on Lieut. Thomson of accompanying in the Success his Lordship during his excursion in the Western Islands and Ilighlands. The Success has at diffelent times had the preference conferred by his Grace of-leading through some of the most intricate sounds of the Western Islands. The weather during most part of his Grace's excursion has been re markably fine. It is said that his Loidship will continue to honour the Western Islands in his yacht every summer until he has made a complete survey of these Islands. His Lonl ship's most extensive and valuable collection of minerals has received an increase of several fine specimens collected by Pro fessors Bulkeley and Cooper, those scientific gentlemen being of his Lordship's suite. Ills Lordship during his present tour has been at Inverary, Cambelton, Arran, Bute, iSlull, Skye, and Long Island. On anchoring in I)ungevan Losh, his Grace was saluted by the guns of Dungevan Castle, the resi dence of 31 4 Leod of M‘Leod, Chieftain of the Clan. The salute was returned from his Lordship's yacht and the Success. The Chieftain was not on the spot, being on u shooting excur sion in I,ochaber; but his absence was fully compensated by the polite attention and exertions of his Lady to the Illustrious and Noble Visitor and his suite. An elegant dejcuat was prepared by Mrs. 31'heod in I)ungevan Castle, which, after viewing the Chieftain's collection of medals, minerals, and library, was partaken of by his Grace, Sir George Nugent, Lady Nugent, and Miss Nugent, Captain Wilcox, Dr. Leatlbroke his Grace's physician, Professors hlulkeley and Cooper, Lieut. Thomson, Commander of the Success, and Mr. Carrington. In the evening his Grace had a tea party and' dancing on board his Lordship's yacht. On anchoring off Greenock, his Grace was saluted by the guns of the Success, after which three cheers were given by the crew from the yards and rigging. His Lordship honoured Lieut. Thomson's salute with one from his yacht, after which the crew gave three cheers. On his Grace's quitting the yacht (to proceed on his journey to England), and as soon as his Lordship, with Sir George, Lady, and Miss Nugent, were in the boat, the crews of the yacht and the Success manned the yards and rigging, and gave three cheers. His Lordship most condescendingly took a his hat, and returned the : cheers. His Grace left a letter to Lieutenant Thompson, which, on parting, was opened by him, and con tained a draft for twenty guineas, to be divided by Lieutenant Thomson amongst the crew of his cutter. His Majesty's cutter Success, Lieut. Thompson Commander, after accompanying his Grace the Duke of Buckingham in his tour through the Western Islands, sailed on Wednesday from Orenock for Bel. fast.—( Edinburgh Obscrvcr.)

MottNING COSCIEWC.---Mr. K AMEDLIANNI ER'S second and last Concert took placg at two o'clock yesterday, at the Rotunda. The room, asi we expected, was most fasltion ably attended, and on no occasion were the talents of this emi. neat musician more effectively displayed than on the present. In his extemporaneous performance he both delighted and sot toniched the audience. The introduction of " Scots wha has," and of our own charming melody " The last Rose of Summer," was attended with the happiest effect. The air of " Loch Erroch," with variations, by Mr. Alday, was particularly ad mired it was performed with the taste and animation peculiar to that gentleman, whose violin appeared to acquire additional beauties from the able accompanmwnt of Mr. /Zalkhrenner. Miss Kearns's llarp also contributed to the pleasure of the amateurs. Amongst the singers we noticed Mr. Larkin as the most successful candidate for weal fume.

STONE IN THE BLADDER,—The new inethod of M. Cue tar.F..for the destruction of the stone in the bladder without the operation of the knife, sanctioned by the Institu tion, on the report of MM. Percy and Chaussier, every day re ceived from experience, a confirmation highly consoling to hu manity.

Among the awes cured iv one of a woman 75 years of age. Ile has met with a few to. ward,: whom he has not judged this method applicable, in con. sequence of the enormous size of the stone, and more especially of the degree of alteration in the viscera that contains it. These stones have greatly differed with respect to their size and texture. lie has found one of uric acid, of the size of a hen's egg, which has required eight operations completely to destroy in general the smaller and the more brittle they are, the more weedy and easy is their cure.

ROWING MATCH for 1110 SOVERETWit.4. The great rowing wager between Charles Westwood and Castles, the best watermen on the River, took place yesterday, amidst a great number of boats; every admire of aquatic sports considered himself obliged to he present. The Noble men and Gentlemen who usually make a dash in their eight oared galley's and cutters were not absent on the occasion.— The men having taken their stations at Westminster Bridge, started at a quarter to three, with the tide. Westwood rowed in a tine boat named the Sovereign, and Castles iu a light wherry, which had won several prizes. At Lambeth-stalls 'Westwood was three boats length a bead ; at Vauxhall Bridge the head of Castle's boat touched his stern. At the Red House, West wood still kept the lead, and those who had betted on Castles gave up the hope of winning. After a most admirable trial of skill and strength, during which, however, Castles had no chance of success, Westwood darted first through Putney Bridge, and having pined the distance, won th e prize, s a id t o 1,, Intl soverei g ns.— nue bets said to be made on this wager r a mounted to 5,M141/. Westwood, by the result, has proved worthy to be considered the champion in river gymnastics. The wager was won in 32 minutes front the time of starting. The distance a-head of Castles was two boats' length. A N UNCOMMOY GOOD Snot.—The late immortal slick tnaw, it is well known, was more celebrated in the Senate than in the field, and at all times enjoyed more pleasure in pop ping at his political opponents than a covey. .of partridges. It chanced that few years before his death he paid a visit to an old Sportsman in the sister kingdom, at the commencement of the shooting season, and, in order to avoid the imputation of being a downright ignoramus, he was under the necessity of taking a gun, and, at the dawn of day, setting forth in pursuit of game. Unwilling to expose his want of skill, he took an opposite oourse to that otitis friend, and was accompanied by a gamekeeper, provided with a bag to re ceive the birds which might fall victims to his attacks, and a pair of excellent pointers. The gamekeeper was a true Pat, and possessed all those arta of Blarney which are known to be long to his countrymen, and thinking it imperative on him to be particularly attentive to his master's friend, lie lost no oppor. tunity of praising his prowess. The first covey, and the birds were abundant, rose within a few yards of the Statesman's nose, but the noise they made was so unexpected, that he waited till they were " out of harm's way" before he fired. Pat, who was on the look-out, suppressed his surprise, and immediately observed,—" Faith, Sir, I see you know what a gun is ; it's well you was'nt nearer, or them chaps would be sorry you ever came into the country." Sheridan reloaded, and went on, but his second shot was not more successful ; " 0 Ch-. t ! (cried Pat) what an escape ; I'll he bound you rumpled some of their feathers !" The gun wax loaded again, and on went our Senator, but the third shot was as little effective as the two for mer : ! (exclaimed Pat, although a s t on i s h e d as so pulba bl i e amiss,) lay a thirteen you don't come near us to-day again.-3laster was too near you to be pleasant." So he went on, shot after shot, and always had something to say to con sole poor Brinsley, who was not a little amused at his in genuity. At last, on their return home without a bird in the bag, Sheridan perceived a covey quietly feeding on the other side of a hedge, and unwilling to give them a chance of flight, he resolved to have a slap at them on the ground. He did so; but to his mortification, they all tiew away un touched. Pat, whose excuses were now almost exhausted, still had something to say, an d h e j oy f u ll y exclaimed, looking at Sheridan very significantly. " By .I—s, y ou ma d e t h em l ave that any way !" and with this compliment to his sportsman like qualities, Sheridan closed his morning's amusement, laugh ing heartily at his companion, and rewarding bins with half-a crown for his patience and encouragement.—( Dublin Evening Star.) The survey of the united kingdom, by order of the Board of Ordnance, under the direction of Major Colby, of the Royal Engineers, is now in active progress. The sheet, which includes most of the isle of Ely and part of north western Norfolk, will be published in a short time. The whole work is upon a scale of one inch to a mile. Every road throughout the empire is laid down in the most distinct manner. Lieute nant Rome, of the R. E. has lately been over the ground again in the neighbourhood of Peterborough, Vhittleaea, March, &c. to put the final correction to the sheet previous to its being en graved, in die Tower of London, where the first artists have been long engaged on the work. The whole, when complete, will consist of about seventy sheets. Those for tient, Sussex, Surrey, Middlesex, and Lincolnshire, we have seen ; they are most elegantly and distinctly executed, and as a work of autho rity cannot be sufficiently estimated. POPIEII MIRACLE/1.-These modern wonders are likely to he of short duration, for they will speedily receive their death-blow by the re-publication of those scarce works►, Middleton's Free Rnquiry, and his Letters from Rome. Be tween the years 1725 and 1740, reports of Popish miracles plied the world just as at present ; but Dr. MIDDLETON published his eloquent and learned exposures of the false pretensions of the Romish Church, and nothing further was beard of its mira culous powers till his books became out of print ; a more sea sonable antidote coaled not be presented to a Protestant and Christian nation. BOW-STREET—(Tams DATA ASSAULT.—A very respectable Gentleman was brought tip from St. Clement's Watch-house, charged with causing a disturbance at the coffee ,shop of Mr; Copplestone, in Wych-street, and also with assaulting one John Gulley ; who de posed, that ho was nephew to Mr. Copplestone, and about half-past nine o'clock in the evening the above Gentleman came to his uncle's house, and attempted, by violence, to force his way in, but was told it was too lute, and he could not have any thing; the Gentleman, however, persist ed to gain admittance, and knocked loudly nt the door, wit ness t h en pus h e d hi m off the steps ; the defendant instantly canght him by the collar, dragg e d hint into tho street, and tore his shirt and clothes nearly froqt his back. Witness con sequently gave the defenchnt in charge of a watchman.----The Centlematt, in his defence, said, ho was in the habit of calling at the coffee shop on his going and returning from the City, had walked a long distance in the wet, and merely went there for a little refreshment, which was refused him, and the affray ensued ; the complainant was the first aggressor.—The MAGI MUTE said there was more violence used on the part of the Gentleman than requisite, and or• dered him to tied bail. Lord Ilyuom, like his predecessors, NA PO LEO and Dr. JOHNsos, it appears, has also had his in the person of Captain Munwts, 4 cousin of the late Punt: T 13 Tssitt: SHELLEY.

ExTaAonntsrAav ENOMENOM.--WO gave au account ofa phenomenon of a very extraordinary nature which occurred on Thursday last at Crowhill, Haworth, near Keigh. ley in Yorkshire. By some the convulsion is thought to have been caused by an earthquake, but it seems rather to have been merely the bursting of an immense bog—accelerattal, in all pro bability, by the great quantity of rain which has recently fallen in the neighbourhood. For a considerable distance room). the .pot where the phenomenon it said to have occurred, the land is a large swamp, in which the water has been accumu lating for centuries. The first intimation which the inhabitants of Leeds received of tide very singular eruption, was from the appearance of the river Aire which on Friday morning was dis covered to be unusually ctrbid, and swollen considerably beyond its usual bounds. On Saturday anti Sunday mornings quanti. ties of fish were seen floating dead on the surface of the water. At llorsforth, about six miles from Leeds, no less than :200 stone of trout and perch were taken out of the river, evidently poisoned, or rather suffocated by the Stygian streams that blended with their native element. The Aire still continue* lAA turbid us it was on Friday, and totally useless is the water fur all domestic purposes. It is still of a deep chocolate colour, the water of which, after filtration, yields a black subtle ilium, with a strung smell resembling that of peat or bog earth. The principal part of the deposit was, of course, made near,:r the spot where the eruption took place. CAUTION 10 11 ACIENIVir COACIIMEN.--Tho , driver of the coach, No. 773, and seYeral others, were yester day summoned before die Commissioners (on the complaint of n (tenth:man in the immediate neighbourhood of the Engli,lt t Ipera House), for drawing their COaCileS Off the regular stand (during the perforinunces at that Theatre), rind placing them bet'ore his door, and refusing to remove when desired so to dd.

Having the dress and appear. ance of a countryman, he calls at the shops of different trades mem, stating that he has been sent from the country to require the attendance of the tradesman upon a lady or gentleman, to receive considerable orders in his particular line of busi. ness. The bait having taken, he modestly hints at a trifle to purchase some refreshments, he having walked many miles to bring the message. Nothing can appear more reasonable ; and the honest man receives from one shilling to half a crown for his trouble. The next day the happy tradesman hires it horse or gig, and rides from ten to twenty miles, full of anticipations of the profits of his job ; when, to his extreme mortification, he either finds there is no such person as the one he is In search of, or that no summons has been issued fur his attendance ! In this manner has this rascal sent builders, carpenters, marble-masons, tailors, boonnakers, brushmakers, &c., &c ., _on fruitless and vexatious journeys. On Monday evening he renewed his nefarious attempt at the house of Mr. Viner, junior, carpenter, when Mr, Viner instantly took him into custody, and he underwent an examination at our Guild hall on Tuesday morning, when a host of indignant witnesses appeared against him. The Mayor committed him as a rogue a men n of this vag. a hrs t' y, to form by subtle means,on several t ra d es . l gaol to hard labour for three months.
