RILDBURGIIAUSEN, OCT. Thuringia the harvest has been so abundant that it has been thought necessary, in the Duchies of Weimar and Gotha, to enjoin the farmers, since the barns are insufficient to receive all the corn, to stack up that which must remain in the open air in such a manner as to guard against accidents by fire, and not to impede the access to the building!.

At an early hour the vicinity of th e prison was thronged with persons expecting t° catch a glimpse of Mr. FAUNTLIMOY on his being removed, but were sadly disa pp ointed on esriug that he would not be removed till late in Ihs evening. Such is the case, as he is closely "gaged in writing letters and preparing for his 4er ence, and be is therefore indulged with this delay, We understand that the Counsel for the prosecution are Mr. BOLLAND, Mr. BRODERICK, 4 : 4 Mr. LAW ; and for the defence, Messrs.

THE THEATRE. COVENT-GARDEIC—After the horiific wonders of Der Frcischulz, last night, the feelings of the audience were converted into a more pleasing, though affecting course, by the operatic Drama of Clari. In this Piece Miss M. TREE made her first appearance for the season, and the audience had thy• gratification of witnessing a better state gf her health than rumour had announced. her acting in this drama was admirable, as usual, and her " Suva home" very impressive. Miss lIAL LANDE also made her first appearance for the season, and as well as Miss TREE was kindly received. DUItUSET was Jocoso. Ile improves in comic spirit. FAWCETT, Miss LOVE, and T. P. COOKE, in the Duke, vice ABBOTT, jointly and severally gave good support to the whole. A gentleman of the name of BEDFORD, from the Theatre Royal in Dublin, will perform the character of Gaspe, in the Opera of Fries cluct: at Drury-lane, and will sing all the original music attached to the part. The forthcoming spectacle at Drury-lane Theatre is called The Enchanted Horse. Duca() w plays the hero, and will introduce some of the most extraordinary equestrian evolutions that hate yet been performed on any stage. Mr. HAMBLIN, who is to make his appearance on Saturday at the llaymarket Theatre, as !Jamie . t, has been playing with great success in Dublin for some time past. A new Comedy of groat promise amongst those who are in the secret, has been read in the Green Room of Covent-Garden Theatre ; it is called " The Widow of Cornhill." The whole comic strength of the Company, including CHARLES KEMBF.E, CHARLES YOUNG and CinasTEß are engaged in this Play. BoAnEx's Life of KEMBLE will introduce a large portion of Dramatic History and Stage Anecdotes, which no other source could possibly supply. Mr. Boaden was equally the friend of Henderson and of Kemble. DREADFUL. FIRE AT HAMMERSMITH.— This morning, between the hours of four and five o'clock, the hamlet of Hammersmith was thrown into the utmost confusion and alarm, in conse quence of an alarming tire breaking out on the premises of Mr. Cooper, a baker and flour factor, in King-street, near the Windsor Castle Tavern. The flames were first discovered bursting through the shop shuters in immense bodies, and wree fast gaining an ascendancy. The family wi re in bed in the attics, and were with great difficulty warned of their perilous situat on ; however, they were made sensible just in time to escape with their lives, by getting out of the back windows. Time parish engines of Ham mersmith and Fulham were prompt in their attendance, but their puny efforts, and a small supply of water had but very little effect on the devouring element which now raged with alarming fury. Fortunately the different engines from town came down with post-horses, and a more plentiful supply of water being ob tained, their combined efforts soon damped the flames, and their ravages were prevented from spreading to the adjoining houses. By seven o'clock the premises of Mr. Cooper were re duced to a heap of ruins, and the whole of his stock and furniture were buried underneath. The loss sustained is estimated at a very considerable sum, but we hear Mr. Cooper is insured. The origin of the fire cannot be ascertained. ROM A WATCH-House— ESCAPE or A FELON F Yesterday morning about three o'clock, a,person of very suspicious appearance, with a large bun dle in his hand, was stopped while crossing the waste ground at the back of the London Hospital, by a watchman, who put the usual question on these occasions, namely, what he got in the bun dle. The stranger, not wishing to enter into an explanation, gave leg-bail ; however, after a long chase and a desperate resistance, he was taken into custody, and brought to Mile-end Old Town watch house, and on examining the bundle it was found to consist of two fine fat geese and a Muscovy duck, which were all fresh, and apparently not more than half an hour dead. The prisoner was locked up in the strong room, and at five o'clock in the morning the night-constable, with the rest of the guardians of the night, re tired to their respective homes, leaving the pri soner, as they thought, quite secure. Stone, a headborough, at the usual hour ' on Calling at the watch-house to take the prisoner be fore a Magistrate, was not a little surprised to find the outer door opened, and on further ex , ambling, he found that all the birds were flown, as well as one of the watchmen's coats. The prisoner effected his escape by breaking up the top board of a seat in the room in which he was placed, with which he made an aperture through the wall sufficiently large for his getting into the front-room, and there he was pro vided with a necessaryimplement to effect his escape namely, a large poker ; with this he forced hack the bolt of the lock and opened the door, and by way of perfect security, it is supposed, Ite put on the watchman's coat, that he might in that dis guise carry his bundle through the streets in per fect safety. AYR, OCT. Ic2.—A remarkably well-executed forgery on the one pound notes of the Royal Bank was de.. tected at the Bank of Scotland's Office here yesterday. The resemblance to the genuine note is so close, that some difference of opinion at first prevailed as to its being a forgery; but when narrowly compared with other notes of the same date (6th 1024), the paper appeared thicker, and the subscriptions t urne d out to be engraved. The execution is, upon the whole, so rood, that no forgery has ever be en seen here so well c alcti . ated to obtain circulation. AWFUL INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATIL—To the many cases of sudden death that it has been our painful duty of late to record, we have now to add that of Mr. Caoucu, the highly-respected fruit-salesman of Covent-garden, who, with the exception of a slight affection of the gout, was, on Monday evening, in perfect health and high spirits. After having concluded his business in the market, he repaired home and went to bed ; but in the morning, before six o'clock, his soul had winged its flight to another and a better world. The deceased was highly respected, and his loss will be severely felt by those for whom he had for years been employed' and a numerous circle of private friends, THE KING. 'WINDSOR, OCT. 20.—This afternoon his MAJESTY took an airing in his pony phreton through the principal rides ad. joining the Royal Lodge.—General Sir Samuel Ilulse took leave of his Majesty this morning, and departed from the Royal Lodge.—After the official business had been transacted yesterday at the Castle, his Majesty, attended by Mr. Wyat villa, inspected the progress tkat had been made in the im provements.—A rumour is in general circulation that the state apartments are to be immediately fitted up for the winter resi dence of his Majesty, and that the Lower Lodge is to be pre pared fur the reception of his Majesty's suite. For the truth of this report we will not pledge ourselves, but it has been mentioned to us from so many quarters, as to warrant the be lief that it is not wholly without foundation. GRECIAN VISITORS. Considerable attention has been =acted in the City to se veral Greek youths, who within the last day or two have been visiting the public institutions of the metropolis. These are. we understand, the sons of some of the most distinguished Greek Chiefs, and have been brought to England by Mr. Btaquiere, for the purpose of being educated under the auspices of the Greek Committee. On Tuesd a y t wo o f t h em v i s i te d the stock Exchange, and were received with loud cheers by all present. The costume in which they are attired is of a very costly description, and excited much admiration. BRIGHTON, OCT. 19.—Lady Bentinek, after a few days sojourn, left the Royal York Hotel this morning, to return to Holbrook, near Horsham, the seat of Admiral Sir J. H. and Lady Whitshed.—Colonel French is arrived at the above tiotel.—Earl Whitworth and the Duchess of Dorset took a carriage airing yesterday.— Sir R. Keates and Sir George Prescott arc returned to this place. Sir W. Fletcher has left us. EDINBURGH, OCT. 18.—(Grand Musical Festival.)—To gratify the public curiosity to see the preparations for the per formances, we understand that the Parliament-house will be open from 12 till 4 o'clock on Wednesday and subsequent days of this week. —Their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Argyll set out yesterday from the Waterloo Hotel, (Oman's) for their seat at lnverary.—On Saturday last his Grace the Duke, and her Grace the Duchess of Bedford and family, left Gibb's Hotel for London. ~.. *.,....... ...*.... 4,.. „, _ .: ( i; • ' 3 , . - 1 0. 9 . .1 k). 4 0 1 E. i ',:ii ,- :,.- z .q,. ~• -,.?'‘ , 4 , ,i*J.:Ar 45, 4 .- 4, ' w • •,, 4 ,-. ; . , ›Ak ii , ,- z:., ~ t t...• .„,, - 1p_.&...:•:-; -,, -:, :,-41. t;, - .- ;..,- 1 -. ir_AN •,-; -k s•t•.: ---, , ,c,;1,0 ~, : . , :•tn•*\,u„e 4 : 1 1,..;. - - , •I''''ti , ... l:l :ta, 01 lit'.,_ r )' ~- - • .... • • -, • , REV.

A LczANDEtt FLETCHER being now before the public, those who take an interest in the history of those " backslidings" which sometimes occur among the leaders of what is termed, par excel. lence " the ItcLtotous PUBLIC," may gratify at respecting ourselves, once their curiosity and their love of justice, by For d twi i: ei c s i l d isao i : a g e, el o stio n h a t w i t t i e sriti c . l f e troa c s itt i ol o tt t e t yr o rpe f ur se t tho%evriSt these bulliesof A r. ux I N I spiritual the leke e p al world, of from from all a u conviction h con flicts that we cannot intermeddle with advantage. " Non nostrum inter vos tantas componcre The " filthy rags" of some of these household troops of the Faith, are but too conspicuous, and we have resolved " flatly " not to march them through Coventry, to which place their unfaith ful Minister seems likely to be sent. We think )Miss Dm( has great reason to complain ; she seems to be of an amiable and confiding and never to have suspected that sanctity could ever be a cloak for selfishness, or that love as well as religion had its " lip service," pouring forth protestation where the heart is cold, and profess ing an adoration of which " the inward" man is a mockery. Her gay we beg pardon, her serious deceivr appears to have the phraseology of the Scriptures always at his pen's end. He pays his addresses to his ELIzA, as if he were offering them up at the Throne of Grace. "From Goo 1 have sought you, my loving ELIZA, and to llim I look for the fulfilment of all my wishes. Long, I trust, we shall travel together, hand in hand, and heart in heart, walking in all the com mandments and articles of the LORD, blameless. Your sweet letters make me more and more anxious for the arrival of a dny when we shall no longer live separate from each other, but when we shall be one in relation, as we are now 071 C in affection. I trust Divine Providence will prepare the way before us,"—and so on ; and to all this, and a great deal more, to his dear, dear ELlz.t, he subscribes himself, _ " Your own loving ALEXANDER." I We have here a sample of the style in which they make love in " the religious world." Our " Loving ALEXANDER," like his Imperial name sake, does not fail to connect " Divine Provi dence" with the object of his holy alliance, and to implicate in all his proceedings the name of the Most High, as if the agency of Heaven was specially concerned in its consutnmation. As we have mentioned the Holy Alliesy it is really worth while, as matter of curious coincidence, to advert to the language in which their public DE.. CLARATION of love and ailachnzent to the liberties of Christian Europe is drawn up by that pious Confederacy "The sole principle in force, whether between the Govern ments or between their subjects, shall be that of doing each other reciprocal service, and of testifying, by unalterable good will, the mutual grection with which they ought to be animated ; to consider them all as members of one and the same Christian nation—the three Allied Powers looking on themselves as merely delegated by Providence to govern three branches of the one family ; thus confessing that the Chri s ti an nat i on , o f w hi c h they form a part, has in reality no other Sovereign than him, to whom alone power really belongs, because in him alone are • found nil the treasures of love, s cience, , and infinite wi s dom ; that is to say, God, .our divine Ativionr, the word of the Most High, the word of life." We quote this to show with what fluency the language of devotion can be pr os tit ute d to t h e basest purpose, by hy pocri tes of all c l asses, f rom the highest to the lowest, when an alliance of any kind is on the carpet. With respect to the pamphlet before us, we, upon the whole, regret its appearance, as likely to injure the interests of real religion, which are always more or less connected with the public character and conduct of its Teachers. That its effect will spread very rapidly there is no doubt, as the curiosity both of thefaitquid end the faith less is so strongly excited as to have already, we understand, exhausted an edition of two thousand copies. We do not think it fair, in justice either to the party or to the publishers, t o fill our pages with garbled extracts from it, more especially all, in the spiritual circles, no one whom it concerns is likely to be without it.—(Britith Press.) POETRY. THE TIDE OF TIME. Through sunny plains and vallics green Yon silvery streamlet winds its way ; While on its banks fresh flow'rs are seen, That, smiling, seem to woo its stay. It must not stay—the current's force Forbids it here to find repose ; But onward still it takes its course, And sadly murmurs as it goes. Upon its polish'd breast no more Sweet flow'rs their breathing perfume shed, Its path is now the rocky shore, Its final rest the Ocean's bed. Thus down the stream of Time we glide, From youth and joy to age and pain ; We cannot check the ceaseless tide, Or bid Hope's blossoms bud again. Yet, let us calmly meet our doom : 'Twere better far that hearts should sever, When !Jove and Truth together bloom, Than linger till they fade for ever SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

In the first heat Ben Ledi took the lead, and Zerbino did not make play till the distance ; for a space the horses ran so close that it was scarcely possible to determine which was first; and Ben Ledi won only by half a head. The result of this heat did not affect bets in any considerable degree, Zerbino being still backed on nearly equal terms. In the second and third heats, Zerbino made play at starting, and was run very bard by Ben Leib, who lost by a length. The weather was remark ably fine, and there was much company on the ground, who seemed exceedingly gratifies by the day's sport.

SPARIUNG. _ _ ....... _ The attractions at the }'ivcs Court yesterday drew together most of the potninent amateurs of the fancy, for the benefit of Marry Holt, Aid-de-Camp to the Commissary-General. The four men who fought the day before showed, and bore the marks of strong warfare. The worst head exhibited was that of Spen. cer, who had to contend in the second battle with youth and activity. The head of O'Neil looks worse than Baldwin's, the punishment of the latter being chiefly confined to the left side of the head from severe right handed hitting. The sparring was better got up than usual ; and after Jemmy Lennox and Uadsee had opened the day's play, the following were among the best sets-to : The Sailor Youth (Jones) had the best of Goodman in a fine resolute bout. Oliver and Ab Ilelasco shook each other's heads in turn, but they did it pleasantly, and drew forth much applause. Jem Xl'ard and Acton.—The artist Ward had the best of a very scientific set-to, although Acton did as much as any other professor could do. There were flushes of science on the part of Ward which astonished and delighted the spectators, and the Court was drowned in applause. Reid and Deaf Davis worked well, but Reid had the best of it. set to very galley, a nd did Brown (the Sprig of Myrtle) figured away upon, and floored the Bristol Baker. secure from Cooper's right-handed lunge , and it was altogether a good bout. not 3 s a ia l ri l ( d 'r u}i l o d n C n o i o ce p t e i r es t . h e G ( i l l i y P o s o c r Y ' length kept hims e lf p re tty Geo.

His actions with Holt were grand ; at the move of a muscle something was meant, and with all the science of llolt he had not length to cope with him.

BALLOON.—Mr. GRAHAM was unable to make his ascent yesterday from the grounds of the Windsor Castle, at Hammersmith, from the want of a sufficiency of gas to inflate his balloon. The fact was announced early, to prevent disap. pointment, in the following bill :—" Mr. Graham mast respect fully acquaints the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Ham mersmith, that the sole cause of his not ascending was in con sequence of his not having a proper supply of gas; but every thing being in a proper state of readiness, he is ready to ascend the moment he can be supplied with gas. He begs to assure them that nothing shall be wanting on his part to complete the ascent as early as possible." The long talked of marriage between a branch of a Noble Family and an accomplished Vocal Performer at one of the Winter Theatres, is reported to us by a Correspondent, to have been solemnized in a room in the Inn, at one of our great Semi naries of Learning, by a regular Priest, without a License.— 'The story is unworthy of credit.—(lllurning Chronicle.)

Yesterday application was made by hlr. 'Williams, to whom the last licence for dramatic representation s was granted, for a renewal of his licence. I t was stated, that he bad expended nearly 50001. in improving that theatre, and that he looked to future seasons for remuneration. Mr. PAGE (the Magistrate) said, the Court had nothing to do with Mr. Williams's expences at the theatre. Mr. Williams's Counsel said, his client meant merely to show that he had benefitted the property, which he found to tut in a bad condition. No imputation had been thrown upon the applicant, and therefore it was to be presumed that there could. be no objection to the renewal of the licence. Mr. THESSIGER said, he should not object to the licence, but he should insist upon its being placed in the hands of Mr.. West, the proprietor of the theatre. This was no more than accordant with the terms of the lease. ' Mr. SuittwEß said, he wished, before the licence was granted, to ascertain whether there was any thing objectionable in the management ; and asked whether a piece called 7'he Hertfordshire Tragedy had not been acted at the theatre. The exhibition was of the most abominable kind, being found ed upon an atrocious combination of circumstances with which all the world were now thmiliar ; and it was said that the identical gig and horse, to which allusion had been so often made in the investigation, were produced at the performance. Mr. Williams admitted that the piece had been played, and lamented that it lied. Mr. Williams's Counsel said, he never was more surprised than he was at the manner in which attempts had been made to punish hix client tbr perti►rming that piece. Ile was in. the Court of King's Bench when a criminal information was moved against that gentleman. Certainly such a piece should not have been played. After, however, the proceed ing was instituted, it was totally dropped. It was upon the ground that a prejudice would be excited. against Thurtell in the minds of the Jury that the criminal information had been moved for. A Magistrate said, that circumstances had nothing to do with what was before the Court. The Counsel said, the public press furnished the materials. Mr. Su mix ea said, if the thing was bad, it was of no lin portance how they originated. It was the business of the Learned Counsel to confine himself to the mere application for the licence, without entering into the merits of the case. It was doubly objectionable, on account of its effects on the morals or the people. The Counsel said, he at least might be allowed to account for conduct which appeared objectionable to the Court. Mr. R. Jack sox said Mr. Williams himself might offer any excuse he should think necessary, but his Counsel could not put himself in the place of his client before the bench. Mr. Williams's Counsel was proceeding, but several Magis. trates interrupted him, and declared that he could riot be heard on the subject. Mr. RENNET wished to know whether it was meant to be argued that the newspaper reports justified the representaiion on the stage ? Mr. Su tux nu said the Court had already determined not to hear any discussion of the topic by Counsel. Ile then asked how long the piece waS represented ? Mr. Williams said no more than twice. He stopped it upon finding that there was a feeling against it, and did not renew it until after Thurtell was executed. Mr. SUMNER asked whether Mr. Williams had not received a notification from the Secretary for the Home Department to stop the performance, and whether he had not disregarded the order ? Mr. NI illiams declared that he had never received any com munication from the Secretary of the Home Department on that or any other subject. Mr. SPICER did not think that the argument of immorality was very applicable as an objection to the renewal of the licence. One of the most moral plays represented a circumstance as full of horror as those recorded of Thurtell, and nobody objected to George ilurnterll as a piece likely to hurt the public morals. Mr. 11EN tirT did not mean to oppose the licence, but he hoped the manager would receive a lecture against the practice of bringing forward such disgraceful exhibitions. Ile hoped that no further violation of- decency would take place at our theatres.—The licence was then granted to Mr. NVilliatns. COBURG THEATRE. Application was made on the part of Mr. Glossop fir a licence to perthrm. The charge of having performed a piece founded on the murder of ‘Veare was also brought against this proprie. or, but upon his promise that he would never again produce any thing of the kind, the licence was granted. ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. The licence wits granted to Mrs. Tetley, Mr. Davis, and the three Misses Gill. VAUXHALL. Upon the application for the renewal of the musical licence for this place of amusement, Mr. B. JACKSON moved that the proprietors should be re quited to refuse to supply refreshments to, or to admit visitors to the Gardens, after the hour of one o'clock. Mr. BENNET and other Magistrates said, that such a re ,gulation would have the effect of shutting up the Gardens altogether. Ir. JACKSON said, that his objection to the dancing was, that it had an immoral tendency. Mr. BENNET said, that except the dancers used improper motions the dancing could not be immoral. Ile delighted to see all classes mixed together in enjoyment, and he had fre quently seen the daughters of respectable shopkeepers join in the amusement objected to. Mr. JACKSON said, that if Mr. Bennet would declare that he had seen such persons dancing at Vauxhall, the objecting' should be withdrawn. Mr. BENNET repeated the assurance, and the licence was renewed without further opposition. • _ CAPTAIN COCHRANRe.--The celebrated peat... trian traveller, Captain J. D.
