THE THEATRES. DRURY-LANE.—Mr. Boo Tit last night con eluded his brief engagement in the part of Othello. In the character of a formidable war rior, an heroic figure is demanded, and the dimi nutive size of Mr. BOOTH tended, in no slight , degree, to lessen the impression of his acting. We shall not enter into particulars respecting his performance of Othello, a part that demands first rate abilities, and which, in general estimation, has never been so successfully supported as by BARRY, WllO, as in Romeo, was even more po pular than GARRICK, a triumph only belonging to his person, for, in other respects, GARRICK must have eclipsed him in the opinion of all competent judges. Mr.Boont last nightdisplayed no striking beauties nor any gross faults. He displayed a just conception of the past, but elicited nothing great, but, in the present state of the Stage, altogether he is entitled to hold a respectable rank. Mr. WALLACK gave good support to the part of logo. Perhaps, what he said was too often directed to the audience, rather than deli vered as the effect of solitary meditation. The Derclemona of Mrs. Warr was recommended by simple tenderness, and Mrs. BONN gave due energy to the part of Emslia. As usual, at nine o'clock there was an influx of the half-pay visi tors which occasioned a disturbance in the midst of one of the most interesting scenes of the play. This is really a great nuisance, and the audience should appeal to the Managers and peremptorily demand a return to the good old practice,,as still observed at Covent-Garden Theatre, viz. not admitting half-price till the end of the third act. This disturbance last night excited a gene ral murmur among the persons in the dress circle. At the end of the play, when TnoMP SON appeared to notify the future performances, there was a vulgar cry for BOOTH. THOMP6ON retired, and, to avoid a repetition of the insult, no future performance was announced, and Valentine and Orson put an end to the offensive clamour. COVENT-GARDEN. -- Mr. C. KEMBLE gave a striking and impressive support to Hamlet last night. COOPER was very spirited in Last.les.— A, numerous and applauding attendance. ANECDOTE`;, &c. CURIOUS ANECDOTE.—In the dusk of the even inn, a traveller was resting beneath a tree, not far from a gibbet upon which was a malefactor. Two wags passing by, jocosely invited the latter to accompany them on to the next town, but did not see any one near the spot. The traveller imagining they spoke to him, cried out, ' 6 Wait a moment and I will join your party." Upon which the two wags fancying the voice proceeded from the gibbeted man, ran off in great terror. MAasnAL TURENNit was not only one of the greatest Generals, but one of the best natured men that ever was in the world. Among several other little domestic examples he gave the fol lowing ;—The General used to have a new pair of stockings every week ; his Gentleman, whose fee the old ones were, had taken them away in the evening, and had forgotten to put any new ones in their place. The next morning the Mar- I shall was to ride out to reconnoitre the enemy, ' and rose earlier than usual. The servant, whose business it was to dress him, was in a great deal of confusion at not finding any stockings. "'Tis very odd," said the Marshal, " that I should be allowed no stockings ; but 'tis very lucky that lam obliged to ride out. Here, give me my boots, they'll do as well, nobody will see whether I have any on or not." ST. LUKE THE EVANGELIST, &c.—This day is the Anniversary of ST. LUKE the EVANGELIST. Ile wl s born at Antioch, the metropolis of Syria, a place celebrated for the study of the liberal arts. He lived a single life, and died in the eighty-fourth year of his age, about the year 70. St. Luke is represented by artists in an attitude of deep thought, with a pen in his hand, over a scroll, in reference to his gospel, and near him a winged cow or ox, apparently chewing the cud or ruminating, as an appropriate emblem of contemplation. Many followers of the Roman Church maintain that St. Luke was a painter by profession, and of this some corroborative proofs are adduced. St. Paul's expression of " beloved phy. sician" may be considered as typical, and not be taken in its literal sense. The purity of style which so eminently charac terizes his writings have induced writers to believe, that so far from having been a physician, in his time, merely the denomi nation of a servant retained in most families of Antioch ; he must have received that polished education attainable only by the opulent. This festival was first instituted in 1130. This day is also the anniversary of the death of King John at Newark, 1216; of the death of Sarah, Duchess of Marlbo rough, 1728 ; of the beginning of the ' ()Teat eruption of Mount Vesuvius, 1769 ; and the death of Catherine, Empress of Russia, 1796. 66 UXTA-POSITION," said miss E DGEwo ant, " makes more matches than Cupid ;" and so it fell out at a cer tain rotten borough, much nearer to London than Bury. Mr. A., an old batchelor, /Etat. 79, and Miss D., an old maid, /Etat. nobody knows what, had lived next door to each other time out of mind ; and having survived most of their early intimates, were almost each other's only acquaintance. One fine day, when the old gentleman's spirits had been more than ordinarily elevated, he ventured to suggest, with all due deference, that one house might hold them both. The day was fixed, the ring and licence bought ; but, alas, the old gentleman begun, as he said, to think better of it ; he thought they would be terribly laughed at, and at last com municated his apprehensions to the bride elect. But how must we contrive to break off the match ?' said he ; 'it will not look well if the refusal comes from me.'—' Oh, no,' said she, 1 will manage that: let us go to church, and do you say Yes, and I can say No, and then all the blame will rest on me.' Excellent. To church they went as was arranged.__ Wilt thou, &c.' said the priest to the old boy ; ' I will,' said the bridegroom.—' Wilt thou, &c.' said then the priest to the . aged spinster ; unblushingly the old girl squeaked out, ' I will ;' and the only notice she took of all his signs, nods, winks, hems and coughs, was to say, when the service was over, If you don't know when you have got a good wife, I know when I have got a good husband.' DEAN SWIFT.—It was a Saying of Dean SWIFT, that men of great parts are often unfortunate in the management of public business, because they are apt to go out of the com mon road by the quickness of their imagination ; and he used to illustrate this observation to Lord Bolingbroke, by desiring him to observe that the clerks in his office used a sort of ivory knife with a blunt edge, to divide a sheet of paper, which never failed to cut it even, only requiring a Strong hand, whereas if they should make use of a sharp penknife the sharpness would make it go often out of the course and disfigure the paper. ' NAUTICAL SERMON.-.W ELD preach ed before the seamen at New York, he had the following bold apostrophe in his sermon :—" Well, my boys, we have a clear sky, and are making fine headway over a smooth sea, before a light breeze, and we shall soon lose sight of land. But what means this sudden lowering of the heavens, and that dark cloud arising from beneath the western horizon? Don't you hear distant thunder ? Don't you see those flashes of light ning ? There is a storm gathering! Every man to his duty ! flow the waves rise and dash against the ship ! The air is dark ! the tempest rages ! Our masts are gone ! The ship is on her beam-ends ! What next ?" It is said that the unsus pecting tars, reminded of former perils on the deep, as if struck by the power of mag ic, arose with united voices and minds, and exclaimed, " Take to the long-boat." 31r. Whitfield seizing upon this reply, urged them to take to Jesus Christ, as the long-boat, with an ingenuity which produced the happiest effects. THE KING, &c. WINDSOR, OCT. 17.—His MAJESTY and visitors, after taking a short drive about the Park yesterday afternoon, passed through Frogmore and the Little Park to the Castle. His Ma jesty was accompanied by his Royal brother the Duke of Cum. berland, in the pony phaeton, and followed by his other guests. The party, after a stay of about a quarter of an hour, returned in the same direction to the Royal Lodge, where they were en tertained as the preceding evenings at dinner.—The Countess' of Lieven arrived at the Lodge yesterday, and remains as a visitor of his Majesty.—Sir W. Knighton left the Royal Lodge yesterday for London. The Duke of Wellington was one of the dinner party on Saturday, at the Royal Lodge ; after which his Grace took his departure for London. Her Royal High. ness Princess Augusta visited the Duchess of Gloucester yes terday afternoon, at Bagahot Park.

BRIGHTON, OcT. 17.—The arrivals this last week are nu. merous and fashionable, and the season promises to be a very full one. The weather continuing most delightful, the chain pier is as usual the gay attraction of all those who seek for health on that most delightful Marine Promenade. General Sir W. Cockburn, Lady and Miss Cockburn, are on our depar ture list, after a residence of more than three months. The Worthy Baronet and his amiable family left us early this morning, and we are most happy to add much benefitted in health by their residence at this their favourite watering place. We look forward with much pleasure to the hope of seeing them again next summer. The Duke of York left town on Sundsy for Cheveley Hall, the residence of the Duke of Rutland, on a visit to his Grace. Mr. Secretary Canning arrived at his residence in Downing street, yesterday afternoon, from the seat of Mr. Ellis, at Seaforth. Mr. Lushington left his house in Downing-street on Satur day, for the seat of the Duke of Rutland, near Newmarket. Mr. Coke is entertaining a large Party at Holkham—the Duke of Sussex, Prince Leopold, Marquis and Marchioness of Hastings, Lord and Lady Stafford, the Bishop of Norwich, Dr. Lushington, &c. &c. The Hon. Agar and Lady Georgina Ellis have arrived at Roe hampton, from the Duke of Beaufort's seat in Gloucestershire. The marriage of the Princess Stephanie de Croi with the young Prince of Rohan was celebrated with great splendour, at the Church of Saint Wasnon of Conde, on the 3d instant, in the presence of a great number of august persons, members of these two illustrious houses. The marriage fete took place in the fine Castle of the Hermitage. Nothing more brilliant or imposing has been witnessed for a long time. some hundreds of the Nobility from all parts of the Netherlands were present, besides several strangers of high rank. On Wednesday last his Grace the Duke of Northumberland embarked at Alemouth on board his Majesty's fast-sailing revenue cruizer Mermaid, Lieutenant Jones, commander, and proceeded to an excursion to the Fern Islands. His Grace re turned in the evening, after surveying the newly-erected Light house, towards Alemouth, but the wind blowing strong from, the south-east, he was under the necessity of landing at Dun stanburgh, where a carriage was in waiting; his Grace then drove off for Alnwick Castle. _ The continuance of fine weather gave to Kensington Gardens and the Parks, on Sunday, more of the appearance of May than of October. We learn that a respectable yeoman of the South Hams, a Mr. Mordaunt, is very likely to succeed to the title and estates of the Earldom of Peterborough, and that his claims thereto will he brought before the House of Lords the next meeting of Parliament.—(Plymouth Paper.) ORIGINAL LETTERS of SHAKSPEARE "CITAIILTON, near Cheltenham, Friday, Oct. 14 " Sir,—Having lately read an article, stating that in 1603 two original letters of Shakspeare were found among the Dor set papers, which the late' Duchess of Dorset signified her in tention of depositing at the British Museum, and shortly after, a third letter was die.:overed in the same archives,' I am induc ad to give you a few lines on the subject " Being on a visit at Knowle, in the summer of 1797, I was requested by the Duke of Dorset to review his family papers, preserved in the Evidence Room,' at that noble and ancient seat; which, after having remained ever since the reign of Eli zabeth in the Sackville line, is now, as it appears, about to be transferred to the Winelmors and the West:. In consequence of the Duke'a request, I went through the whole collection betwera 1797 and 1800; but no Letter of Shakspeare was there discover ed. I found, indeed, two petitions, presented by a female of the name of Shakspeare, in 1662 or 1623, to the Lord Trea surer Cranfield, Earl of Middlesex : idle does not, however, appear to have had any affinity or connexion whatever with our immortal Bard. " It may be proper here to observe, that the papers pre served at Knowle ought, properly, to be denominated, not so much the Dorset as the Middlesex Papers. Nine-tenths of that large collection are documents which relate, and be langed, to Lionel Cranfield, Lord High Treasurer, of Eng land under James 1., and created by that Prince Earl of Middlesex. One of his daughters married Richard, fifth Earl of Dorset, by whom she became mother of Charles, the celebrated Earl of Middlesex and Dorset. The Lord Treasurer Cranfield remained in office only about three years, from 1621 to 1624. Now, Shakspeare died in 1616, at which time Cranfield had not attained to any Court honour or dignities. " I certainly cannot venture to deny that letters of Shak speare may, nevertheless, have bean discovered among the Dorset Papers in 1803, or subsequent to that time; but I am persuaded, that if the late Duchess, and Lord Whitworth, had made so interesting a discovery, they possessed minds too ex panded, as well as liberal, and were too well aware of the great interest which such letters would excite among all classes in this enlightened country, to have delayed giving them the most prompt publication in some shape. Should the event, never theless, deceive my conjecture, I shall rejoice at any elucida tion that can be thrown on the life, or on the memory, of that illustrious dramatist. 4, N. WILLIAM WRAXALL." COMBINATION OF COLLIERS.—It gives us plea sure to mention, that the new hands taken in at the Calder Coal Works, in the room of the com bined colliers discarded, are succeeding even beyond expectation. Owing to the judicious arrangements made by the proprietors, they have proceeded without the least molestation. So little difficulty was there in getting the new hands, that one hundred more than enough offer ed themselves on Monday, and numbers, from various parts of the country, have since applied for work. There is little doubt that a few weeks' experience will make the new hands as dexterous workmen as those who foolishly lost the employment.—(Glasgow Chronicle.) POETRY. LINES Conceived during the FUNERAL of the late Joint CROSDILL, Esq. and committed to paper immediately after his inter ment at• Saint Mary-le-bone, on Tuesday, the 11th of Oct. 1825. (From a Correspondent.) While slowly moving near the sable herse, With speechless. friends, who wept at Merit's grave, Reflection rang'd my sorrows into verse But nature more than art expressions gave. 'Twas CROSDIL corse that led the mournful band, The sad remains orloyalty and truth, He lov'd his Monarch, lov'd his native land, Harmonious subjects felt his mighty hand As vigorous in age as when in youth. Full thirty autumns have we pass'd together And morning, noon, and night, were hours of pleasure Where keenest sportsmen smil'd in stormy weather, • Sensation's charm was then melodious measure. The public knew not half his wond'rous powers Display'd in private to delight a friend, Exalted genius has its happpiest hours, And oft possesses what it cannot vend. Where shall we look to find his like again ? The continent would be explor'd in vain. Almighty Father, hear my prayer To thy decree we all must yield 0, take him to thy heavenly care Who was on earth the friend of iiIIIELD, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Another of those dreadful accidents that too frequently arise from the excessive negligence of waggoners and carters, occurred on Saturday evening, between Sawston and Hinxton, Henry Griggs, of Ickleton, whose waggon was laden with coals, was run over, the wheels passing up his body. --- , None of the persons assembled could give any account how it happened, but from the position in which he lay, there is every reason to believe he was riding on the shafts. He was within two miles of his home, and just life enough to recog nize his son, and faintly articulate " The Lord have mercy on my soul !" In consequence of this accident, the Magistrates came to a resolution to levy the penalty on all persons found riding on their carts or waggons.—.(County Chronicle.)

CALAMITOUS SHIPIVRECICS.—Last week, about twenty— five trading vessels bound to the westward, were detained for several days in Fishguard Roads, by contrary winds.— On the night of Thursday week, the weather being more fa. vourable, they all set sail towards St. David's, when a most tremendous gale arose from the North-west, and nearly the whole were driven ashore. The following are the particulars of the loss as far as we have been able to ascertain :—The Ho ratio schooner, Macarty master, with eight men on Lo ird, laden with sheep end pigs, from Kinsale, Ireland ; the crew, excepting one man, were saved by letting down ropes from the top of the rocks, a depth of 120 feet ; the vessel went to pieces shortly after.

Two others returned to the roads, and three are reported to have reached Milford in safety. THE BARON OF RENFREW. The following is a copy of a lettessfrom the Agent to Lloyd's at Deal, dated Oct. 16, on board the steam ship James Watt, proceeding for Harwich : " Sir,—For general information, I beg to state the follow. ing particulars of the ship Baron Renfrew, from Quebec, un fortunately getting on shore on the Longsand, and of the mea. sures adopting for her preservation. On the morning of the 13th instant, I left the Downs in the steam-ship Tourist, in company with the James Watt, and boarded the Baron Ren frew, near mid channel, off Folkstone: one of the Cinque pilots, named Underdoun, being on board from the pilot cut ter, and another named Brett, having come off from Dover, offered to take charge as second pilot. Both pilots, on being consulted as to the ship's course for the Thames, were decided ly of opinion the South Channel could not be attempted. but that the course round the Knock and Longsand, and up the Severn, was theproper course, from the great quantity of water the ship drew ; and on being questioned us to their knowledge and competency, they both declared they were well acquainted therewith, being experienced in taking men of war and other large ships up and down the Severn. They were consevently put in charge, and we proceeded round the South Foreland. and through the Downs, with the wind from the S.W., towed by the two steam ships, making the Beacon buoy of the Kentish Knock before dark, and afterwards the Galloper Light.— At about half-past seven, p. m., we made the Sunk Light, with a light breeze still from the S. \V., steering a N. and by E. course. About nine, p.m. the water shoaled to nine fathoms, the flood tide running with great violence, which it appeared the pilots in charge did not allow for, although it was remarked to them the ship was evidently drifting towards the sand. The best bower was then let go, when she swung round and grounded by the stern, every possible exertion was then used by the steam ships, and the crew on board the ship in carrying out other anchors, and adopting every practicable measure to get her into deep water, but without avail. Simi lar exertions to get her afloat have been used since, and this day being fine, one of her bower anchors is carrying out.to keep her from forcing higher on the sand. Several gentle men connected with the ship are proceeding with me to Harwich anti the • neighbouring ports, to procure vessels to lighten the ship. She is now quite upwright, the Sunk Light bearing N.W. about five miles. Should the weather continue moderate, great hopes are entertained she may float next spring tides. The City of Edinburgh steam ship remains to afford assistance, and to take advantage of any favourable circum stance which may arise. The wind is westerly at present, and the weather fine.

TRADE WITH MA DElRA.—EKtract of a letter from Madeira, dated the 29th of September :—. 44 Lately several British vessels arriving here, from Liverpool in particular, have invariably been put under quarantine, owing to their bills of health not being certified and endorsed by the Portuguese Con sul. Without the said documents (regularly signed, &c.) the vessels are not allowed to have any communication, until re.. visited a second time by the health officers and doctors, &c., which not only causes great delay, but subjects the owners to an extra expence of about 51. sterling. MILDNESS OF Till SEASON.—A number of ap ple-trees in different parts of Poole are now covered with a profusion of blossom ; many of' them have also a quantity of young fruit. on them. In a garden belonging to Mr. T. Strong, at Seldown, there is a tree bearing two crops of apples at the same time. An apple-tree in an orchard at Cannington, near Bridgewater, was last week in full blossom. Two apple-trees at Walton now .present the singular appearance of fruit in its three stages; blossoms are abun dant, in many instances the fruit is set, and a quantity is quite ripe. It is expected that much more cider than was anticipated will he made in Devonshire this year ; the apples improved con siderably towards the latter part of -'the season, and are generally full of juice and finely-flavour ed. At this time there is in the garden of a gen tleman residing near Ilford, an apple-tree with a great number of blossoms, and a bed of stra4- berries in full bloom. The latter is also th t , case in the garden of Mr. Alderman ATAI N B,—... (County Chronkk.)
