THE TIIEATRE• • HATMARILET.—The excellent Comedy of The Clandestine Marriage, most respectably sustained in its principal characters, was followed last night , by a new musical Piece of one. , Act, entitled, Birds without Feathers. We subjoin a sketch of the PLOT. Filippe (111r.•Ii otrs GE TO having made air early and unfortu nate marriage, imbibes an inveterate dista,ste for woman, and retires with his• only child to lead a hermit's. life. The boy (Mrs. T. HILL) has attained the age ofeighteen, when Ronaldo (Mr. NV T. LIA ms), the brother of Filippe, prevails upon him to visit his house. The hermit consents upon condition that Eliza (Madame VEsTnis), his daughter, shall be kept from the view of Colin, who has never been made acquainted with the existence of the softer sex. While, on the other hand, her antiquated, scolding Governess (Mrs. C. JONES), a determined man-hater, is to be exhibited to the youth by way of a surfeit. ing dose. It happens, however, that he sees Eliza first, and upon questioning his father, is told that she is a bird ; at which he proves himself wise in his generation, by wondering that there should be " Birds without feathers." After this he is frightened by the old bird, and captivated by the young one ; and to end all, the old man consents to the union of the young innocents. This Piece is an avowed translation from the French, and is evidently founded on the well known story of Friar Philip's Geese, also of French origin. We are by no means inclined to judge harshly of the productions of the Summer Theatres. They are not intended, like the Paintittgs of A PELLES, for perpetuity, but merely to amuse the fleeting hour. Modern Dramatists proceed upon different principles, one set endea vour to produce good standard playsond another to produce a set of characters adapted to the talents of popular performers ; and when the design is un. derstood the critic should adapt his rules to the intention. The piece of last night has no dra matic force, but it was rendered by no means unamusing to a very numerous audience, by the efforts of Mrs. VEiTais, Mrs. HILL, Mrs. C. JONES, WILLIAMS and YOUNGER. The music, which in two or three instances was nearly en cored, is ascribed to Mr. NATHAN. It was on the whole playful as well as scientific. The piece was announced for repetition, by Mr. YOu F:11., with some opposition, but the majority was in its favour. THE Dl CCAN BOOTY.—It appears from the Bengal Territorial Financial Letter of the 11th of August, 1818, that the treasure captured in NASUCK was estimated by the Company's Officers at SEVENTY-SIX LACS OF RUPEES ; but making the most liberal allowance on the score of exaggera tion, it was- considered by The, Supreme Govern ment, that the ULTIMATE receipt for it, could not be less than PIETY LACS OT RUPEES, that is, about 600,0001. sterling ! This part of the booty con stitutes only a small portion of that which was captured ; and though late, it is to be hoped, that the Troops will receive the fullest remuneration :for their brilliant and successful services in the years 1817 and 1818, by which the East India Company have acquired such an extent of coup. try, and so large an increase of their annual ter ritorial revenue ! The loss of the British in the engagement with the Ashantees, on the 11th of July, amounted to 105 killed, and 400 wounded ; Lieutenant John Swanzy, of the Royal African Colonial Corps, is the only Officer killed. The following paragraph, containing the in telligence of the failure of the attempt to intro duce slavery into the State of Illinois, is extract ed from a Philadelphia N ew spap er f the 28th of July, 1821 : " Itiirrois.—The important question of convention or no convention, for revising the constitution of the State, with a view principally to admitting the introduction of Slaves into that State, has, we are happy to learn, been decided in the ne gative by the People, after as full and free a discussion as per haps, ever was had among any people on any subject." The New Neapolitan Loan will be brought in to the market next week, but only to the amount of 100,0001. The remaining 400,0001. will be distributed on the continent. Much anxiety is felt upon the Royal Ex. change relative to the Davis Straits' whale ships. There have been few instances of their remaining out so late in the season. THE FRENCH INSTITUTE.—This Learned body have offered a gold medal, of the value of 1,500 francs, for the best Paper on the following subject; the 'prize to be adjudged in the public Sitting in July 1820:—" To inquire what were the Provinces, Towns, Castles, and Estates, acquired in France by Philip-Augustus, and ho w h e a cquired them,—whether by conquest, purchase, or exchange: To ascertain which of those domains he disposed of by gift, which by sale, and which by exchange; and which of them he retained in his own hands and united to the Crown." THE PNEUMATIC LAMP.—Amongst the ingeni ous novelties of the present day is a machine made by Mr. GARDEN, the chemist, for the purpose of producin g instanta neous light; which appears to be more simple, and less liable to be put out of order than than the Volta lamp, a nd ot h er machines of a similar kind. It has lately been discovered, that a stream of hydrogen gas, passing over finely-granulated pla tinum, inflames it. The whole contrivance, therefore, consists in retaining a quantity of hydrogen gas over water—which is perpetually produced by a mixture of a small quantity of zinc and sulphuric acid, and which, being suffered to escape by a small stop-coek, passes over a little scoop containing the pla tinum, which it instantly inflames. From this a candle or lamp may be lighted, and the metal extinguished by a small cap being put over it. It forms an elegant little ornament, of small expellee, and is easily kept in order; and, once charged, will last many months. A fine medal in bronze has been just struck at the Mint, representing CHARLES X. The re semblance is perfect, and the workmanship pears to be very fine. On the reverse are the words pronounced by the King on the reception of the Chambers of Peers and Deputies on the 17th Sept.—(constitutionnel.) A fire broke out -on Thursday night in the coach-manufactory of Mrs. Tuoart and Co., Portland-street, Oxford-street, which destroyed part of the premises and stock in trade. WANTON ASSAULT.—John llollorlay, who ap peared to have drank freely of the Tuscan grape, this Morning was brought before G. R. MIN snuLL, Esq. at Bow-street Office, charged with a wanton assault upon a tradesman named James. The complainant stated he was proceeding along Russell-street, about twelve o'clock, and endea voured to avoid the prisoner, who instantly rolled against him and kicked him, complainant, violent ly on the leg. lie had given the prisoner no provo cation for the ill usage, as he was an entire stranger to him. The prisoner, on being a sk ed what he had to say to the charge, treated it in a. most insolent way, and used very abusive ex pressions, both to the prosecutor and in the pre sence of the Magistrate. He was ordered to find bail, and complainant said, that 'unless he made a public apology he would indict him at the . Sessions. THE KING. Wxlnsos OR, OCT. 1.--Soon after four o'clock yesterday after noon his MAJESTY left the Royal Lodge on horseback for a short ride in the Great Park. The King - was accompanied by Sir A. Barnard and his usual attendants, in their undress live ries. His Majest), returned to the Lodge at five o'clock. Yes terday Mr. Secretary Canning arrived at the Lodge and had an audience of his Majesty. It has scarcely ceased raining during the whole of this forenoon. About two o'clock the weather be came more favourable, and the phaetons were ordered for his Majesty to take his usual airing, but until nearly four o'clock the King had not left the Royal Lodge.

The Secretary of the Society read the proceedings of the past year, from which it appeared that the Society was only in its infancy, having been formed at two meetings of Ladies, at the house of the Duchess of Beaufort, while residing in this town, last October. The receipts during the year had amounted to upwards of 2301.—The communications and correspondence as to the state of education in the different counties and parishes in Ireland, were read, from which it appeared generally, tha t there had not been the least disposition to instruct children in any thing but spinning. The object of the Society was to teach them sewing, knitting, and reading, to enable them to read the Scriptures, particularly the New Testament. After the Report had been read the Rev. Mr. Close addressed the Meeting at considerable length on the merits of the institution, and the whole concluded with universal expressions of appro bation.

When life is ebbing fast away, Will not thy hungry vultures cease ? Ahtto ! as weeds from fading free, Naisious and rank, still verdantly • Twine round a runi'd tow'r, So to the heart untam'd will cling The memory of an evil thing, In life's departing hour : Green is the weed when grey the wall, And thistles rise while turrets fall. Yet open Memory's book again, Turn o'er the lovelier pages now. And find that balm for present Nin, Which past enjoyment ran bestow : Delusion all, and void of power, For e'en in thought's serenest hour, When past delights are felt, And memory shines on scenes of woe, 'Tis like the moonbeam on the snow, That gilds, but cannot melt ; That throws a mockery !nitre o'er, But leives it cheerless as before. Her sweetest song will only tell Of long.departed noon ; • Of things we loved, alas! how well; And lost, alas! how soon. For feelings blasted, hopes deferr'd, And secret woes unseen, unheard By the cold crowd around, Will rise and make their plaintive moan, And mingle with her softer tone, And mingle with her softer tone, Till, in their murmurs down% Her lyre shall loose its soothing flow, And only tell a tale of woe. Tho' Hope's bright scenes be false and vain Hera is the beauty of deceit; Tho' Pleasure's cup hold dregs of pain, _ . . One sip upon the brim is sweet ; Yes, they have charms, tho' false and few, Tho' soon they vanish from the view, Impalpable as air But Memory soothes not, charms not, brings No balm, or true or false, for stings Inflicted by despair; But still some new device will find, To torture more the sufferer's mind.

Th e dove-tail bolts described in a former paragraph, have been the means of securing down to the bottom ; and it must be a source of particular satisfaction to Mr. Moon the contriver, to see how completely the exertions and anxiety he has manifested, are now crowned with success.—(Kentisli Gazette.)

BAIGIITOM, SEPT. 30.—Sudden Death of a Lady......A. private mansion had' been engaged here • for .airs. PtEncE, who, with . her family, arrived to take possession of it on Tues. day. About two o c lock on the following morning, while in htii, the above amiable Lady was subjected to a third visitation of apoplexy, and before the Physician, who had been sent tbr with all possible dispatch, could arrive, she was no more. Mrs. Pierce has one daughter married to the brother of the present Duke of Unmet ; another married daughter, Mrs. CUth. ben, who was with her when she expired, agonized nearly to distraction by th e sh oc k, i s as yet f a r from having subdued that tempest of the feelings to which the loss of one of the best of friends and parents bad given rise. A meeting of the Subscribers to the Canter bury and Sandwich Navigation was held on Tues day at Canterbury, when the report of Mr. TEL FORD, the civil engineer, was read, and was found to be very favourable to the undertaking. The journeymen curriers at Penzance had a turn out last week for an increase of wages. They have obtained an adsance of four shillings in twenty, and have returned to their vrork. Miscittuvous tioAx.—A very unmean'nz, though most annoying, species of letex was played off a few days ago against Mr. King, of Snowitill, which is attributed to the following circumstances:--fir. King carries on. the busi !lees of a tin-plate-worker to a great extent, employing gene., rally from 100 tole() men, to whom he has always paid • the most liberal wages. Finding themselves, perhaps, even too well treated, the jo urne y men some tim e ago thought Proper to strike for advance; but as Mr. King already paid as high a price as any other master, he resisted the demand, and according as they quitted his service, he took in others, and gave every encouragement to country hands. When out of employ, the malcontents became desperate, and took every possible means to injure Mr. King in the way of his business ; they attacked such of the strangers as they could meet, and one of his ap prentices, who was taking etieds home to order, was severely beaten, and the praperty thrown into the New River, near which the outrage was committed. Unfortunately, there was no possibility of bringing the offenders to punishment, and the thing was passed over. In consequence of these continu ed hostilities, Mr. King was compelled to employ two watch. men, at considerable expence, to look after has factories at night, as there was no knowing to what excesses those men might he inclined to carry their revenge. Foiled by these pre cautions in doing any niaterial injury to the concern, thee hit upon a most extraertlinary and unprecedented species of an. noyance : they got a vast quantity of bills stuck up ahout the town, intimating " that a number of honest men and women might learn an easy and lucrative business,_ at which they would get permanent employ, by applying to Mr. King, No. 20, Snow-hill." The consequence was exactly what h a d it b ni ei c sa n tp, a l i t i le ti la c irdtpt i na p oxtua. a ilg t irol e iiptn d ittesg b a:t y the mischievous authors.

Determined, if possible, to punish the contriver of this ingenious deviCe, an applicatien was made, on the part of Mr. King, to the Magistrates of Hatton. girder police-office, for a summons to the printer of the bills, (Mr. Batchelor) who, it was presumed, might be made to give up the author ; but the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. Sergeant Sele lon, said, he did not suppose that the printer could have known any thing about the business, and therefore declined granting the summons. Mr. King, however, is determined to trace the matter to its source, and prosecute the persons concerned in this really malicious procedure.

OFYIDEtte WIDOWS' CEnTIFICATES.--A Gen. tlemanapplied to Mr. LING, the Sitting Maw gistrate at Batton Garden Office, this dayj. on the part of a Lady, the widow of an Officer, for his signature to her certificate, in order to obtain the payment of her pension. Mr. Laing said, " am required here, Sir, to certify that this Lady is the widow of the Gentleman named ; but how am Ito know that is the fact ?" The applicant answered, " The signature of the Rector of St. Luke's is affixed to it, Sir." " Yes," rejoined Mr. Laing, " but really I think the course laid down is a very foolish one ;for , as I before said I consider an affid av i t, quite sufficient—l'll sign it for you ; but it i s an unnecessary trou bl e im posed on Magistrates, ~~ i
