The performances were the oft repeated Opera of Freischutz, the music of which still renders it attractive, a new Interlude en titled Curiosity Cured, or Powder for Peepinz, in which Mrs. FITZWILLIANI disi:layed the ver satility of her powers in giving a humorous sup port to her distinct characters, and afterwards the whimsical Farce of the flee Hive, fist brought forward at the English Opera House. Previous to the Farce, Mr. Tmtuy came forward and de livered 'the following Address, which the audi cleft received with much applause. The nume rous audience that attended 'was creditable to FITZWILLIAM, as it proved that be has many friends. LADIZI AND GENTLESIXX—At the close of a Theatre for the Season, it is Acarcely pomsible to vary the mode in which it is customary to offer you a tribute of respect for the various proofs of favour and kindness during that period. "I am deputed, Ladies and Gentlemen, on the part of the Proprietor, to aisur,: you, that he is fully sensible of the great and general patronage which he has experienced since he first undertook the ManageMent of this Theatre, and to return you his sincere thanks for the support which you have so liberally bestowed upon the various productions of this season. He ven tures to indulge in the hope -that his future efforts may still merit a continuance of your favour. " It is now my pleasing duty to express•the grateful acknow ledgments of all the Members of this Establishment ; allow me, therefore, Ladies and G en tl emen , to ren d er you t h e i r h ear t- fekthanks; and, until the . 24th of September, to bid you, most respectfully —Farewell." • :. LIVERPOOL, 20.--Mr.Sxr cr.atz has.been for the last fortnight fulfilling his first engage ment at the Liverpool Theatre; since his return from Italy, and if the receipts - of the house on the nights of his performauces are any criterion, h a has shone the most brilliant star 'of the season. Ile is thought to be much .improved in science, taste, and voice—his acting, also, has become more easy and effective. Ills per formance of Olando, in the . Cabinet, has given the greatest delight to his audience, and is spoken of by the musical amateurs in unqualified praise. Ills fine rich voice and brilliant execu tion, in the " Polacca," called forth unbounded applause,and general encores followed every one of Mr. Sinclair's principal songs. His good hu mour, and zeal to give pleasure to his hearers, have insured him high approbation, and he has been rewarded with the fullest and best attended benefit of this season. We are happy in being able to state, that Mr. CANNING has now no complaint remaining but excessive weakness.' The Right Hon. Gentle man will leave town in a day or two, for Lord Lavrepooes seat at Coombe Wood, for change of air. The serious illness of Mr. CANNING has spread a gloom in Ireland, which it would he difficult to describe. We hope and trust that the present attack of the gout is only temporary. What we apprehund is, that the health of this great man may induce hiin to retire from Office. lii the present circumstances of the Empire, we do nut know that a greater calamity could occur.— (Dublin Evening .Post of Tueeday.) Ma. T 1 Ahtt r.TOK ItoW,Vx.—This'venerabloGru•, tleman has returned front - England, having ar ranged, to the satisfaction of his friends, the mis uederstandieg between him and Mr. DAwsox.— (Dublin Morning Register.) - • • 'ERA nE of I.lvettrOoe.-The.arrival of vessels from foreign ports, betNeea Tuesday ni , ght and Satti day morn ing last, were unusually numerous at this port ; they amount. ed to little ahort of 100 sail; exclusive of those which came from Ireland and Coastwise. The import of cotton from the United States, Brazil, and even from Portugal, was unprecedentedly great, amounting to between 40 and 50,000 bags and bales. Although the arrival of this immense quantity of cotton had been anticipated by the speculators, yet its actual appearance in the port had the effect of depressing the market for several days, and of causing a slight reduction in price. A trifling reaction has since taken place, and holders, we are informed, remaia firm. The arrivals have been comparatively few since Satur. day ; and the wind huving'yesterday afternoon veered roand the east, it will, during its continuance in that quarter, be un fai.ourable for vessels working up. All the docks are crowded, and the greatest bustle prevails along the quays.—(Liverpool Courier, Jury 20.) The EtuAdiugs on the East and West sides of the inner square of the King's Mews, Charing cross, are to be pulled down, to make way for the fUrther improvuments in that part of the Metro polis, between Coekspur-street, the new Club. house, and - St. Martin's Church. The Duke of WELLINOToN, as Master-General of the Ord nance, has given directions for their immediate sale by auction, and removal of the old materials. Muanica IN Cuoybox-sTREET, MAitYLEBoN . E. --- , On Thursd a y even i ng, b etween s i x and seven o'clock, a most distressing and dreadful act of homicide was perpetrated in Croydon.street, Marylebone. A man named Alexander Dobie, of very suspicious character, livltt in that street, was fees .go towards No. 11, the house of an old soldier-nanted John 'Dillon, whom he called out. On DillOn asking what he wanted, he commenced a volley of abuse, and swearing a dreadful int precation;.fiew at him. Dillon retreated across the street, but was followed up by the other, who struck him once or twice on the hack of the head. Dillon turned round, and holding up his hands, endeavoured to parry the blows of the ruffian, who, seizing !dm with one hand, struck Mtn two distinct and tremendous blows on the temple, and then letting go his hold, the unfortunate Dil lon fell insensible. Several of the neighbours rushed from their houses, amazed at so sudden an outrage, and endeavoured to secure Dobie, who, one person'snid, held an iron clock weight in his hand ;.but he fought his way through them with great desperation, and succeeded in making his escape. Dillon was raised up, and on being taken into his house expired. Mr. North, a me dical gentleman, instantly attended, and, 'from the extensive blows on the temirle and head, judged that the blows were most tremendous, and caused by a very hard substance. Informa tion of this was itistantly sent *to the Mary-le bone Office ; but although the constables of that establishment were directly on the alert, they could not discover the retreat of the murderer. By the directions of the Magistrate they have been the whole of the night on the alert, but have not succeeded in makin g his c a p ture. T h i s day the Office was crowded to excess, in expecta tion of his being appi'eheuded, but Up to twelve o'clock no tidings whatever had been had of him. , THE KING, &c.

It is nearly finished, anti has a very grand and imposing appearance. The Rev. JoszPir Coo'. -We recently noticed the , death of the Rev. J. Cook, M.A. Fellow of. Christ College, who ex pired on the 31 of March list, between Mount Si na i an d T or , e n the Red Sea. After.spentling some years in the University with the highest credit and honour to himself, he went to the Conti nent in 1820. Having visited Holland, France, Germany, and Switzerland, and resided four years in Italy,' devoting his time to the public performance of his - clerical duties at the English chapel, at Rome, and that of the Ambassador at Naples, and to the study and contemplation of the interesting objects with which those classical shores abound; and having qualified him self for a full and minute examination of those regions, doubly interesting as being the sources of both sacred and profane his tory, he set out from Malta in August last, on a tour to Egypt anti the Holy Land, accompanied by Dr. Bromhead, of this University, and Mr. Lewis of the navy. Having penetrated beyond the second cataract of the Nile, the party returned to Cairo, from whence they proceeded to Mount Sinai. The fatigues of this journey, the inclemency of the weather, and the privation,: inseparable from travelling in those countries, so weakened. him (although he left Cairo apparently in perfect health), that after stopping a few says at Mount Sinai to recruit his strength,-he was unable to reach Tor, and, under circumstances fraught with the most deep and awful in terest, expired on his camel in the Pass Wady Hebram, near Mount Serbal, to the inexpressible regret of his family and friends. His remains were deposited by his companions in the burying ground of a Greek Church, near the wells of !Mini, a spot which he had expressed the most anxious wish to visit, and which, to use the - words of his friend, Dr. Bromhead, " Could he have foreseen his fate, he would probably have selected as his last earthly abode." Sir ;MATTHEW DECKEIt was a man of piety and extensive benevolence, and once received a very strange compliment on - that score. Lord‘Vm. Paulo, second son of the fi rs t D u k e o f Bolton, was so extremely ignorant as to ask who wrote St. Matthew's Gospel :sorne wag replied " Sir Matthew Decker." .Lord William, who .had heard Sir Matthew's Character for charity and piety, believed it, and being, himself a pious per son left Sir Matthew - 4, legacy, in consideration of the excellent work of his.

The Clerk, who could not exactly catch the sentence, repeated it thus :—" Moses was an oysterman, and made, ointment for the shins of . his people." Coolnior.—A ScOtch family, lately removed to London, wished to have a sheep's head prepared as they were accustomed to it at home, and sent a servant' to the butcher's to procure one.

Bow-SrnEE . r.—Henry White, who, our Readers may re- Member, was examined on a charge of forgery, by which he had obtained a number of warrants for the receit of money under the will of a gentleman late resident in the East Indies, was re-examined yesterday before Sir R. BIRNIE. Other evi dence was produced, shelving the course of the offices in the South Sea House, and still further identifying the person of the prisoner, and proving the receipt of the money by him. The Secretary to the : Commissioners of Taxes at Ileygate was called, who proved . that no such persons as those described as .wit. nesses, in the power of attorney, were, or ever had been resi dent .in that:,town. A nephew of the testator also appeared, who said, from the knowledge he had of that gentleman's fa mily connections, he did not believe he had any such relative as that described as the party obtaining the warrant of attorney. Sir It. firetrirE said, that as the case, on the part of the prose cution, was now closed, the time had arrived when the prisoner might argue any thing he chose in his defence.—The prisoner: Sir Richard, I am extremely obliged for. the opportunity thus afforded, but as I have trusted my case in the hands of Mr. Harmer, I am quite convinced that his ability and zeal will induce him to do every thing which the existing.circumstances will permit. He has informed me that any thing I could say how would, in fact. ..not avail me—,and as I have understood through life, that when one can safely confide, as undoubtedly I can on the present occasion, in the talents of one's profes sional adviser, it is the best course to pursue, I shall adopt that method.-:-Sir R. BIRNIE : Sir, you exercise a very sound dis cretion.—The parties were then bound over to prosecute. Our readers may remember that another charge was also made against him by the Stamp-Office, for receiving a sum of 401., as the duty returnable on the above power of attorney. Sue F. Bu RDETT PELTED.—Two women were brought before Sir R. BIRNIE, charged with pelting the above gen tleman, and creating a disturbance. Ile was on Wednes day evening proceeding to his stables, for the purpose of getting his saddle-horse, when the two defendants made certain advances towards him, evidently wide a view of obtaining his favour. They were, howaver, soon proved to come under the title of the works of a fav our it e Au thor, namely—" The Rejected Addresses." The maxim shit there is nothing so furious as a woman scorned, was , here exemplified. A shower of abuses and mud soon drove the worthy patriot into his stable, and required the interference of those guardians and disturbers of the public repose, commonly called the. watchmen. On these facts they were -brought be fore his Worship.—Sir RICHARD comenittted them for a month to the Mill. MArtv LEIION rt —Bras v.--XesterdayJohnWalker,coach man to the Bishop of Durham, was charged With having mar ried a'young and interesting female of the name of Hughes, his former wife being still alive.--The complainant, who appeared much affected, stated to Mr. Rawlinsen, that she had known the prisoner above twelve Months ; during eight months of 'that time he had paid his addresses to her, • and in the month of March last persuaded her to become his wife; she was then 'living in the family of Mrs. Gardner, at Toll Markham, De von, and he lived in the family of General Mahon, a short dis tance from her mistress's house. 'She; finally, on the 2d of April, was married to him by the Rev. Rowland Mullock, at Toll Markham Church, bitt-very Soon after had reason to be lieve hint - to have-a wife living. • Havimecorite to London with him, 'he Vas informed by • his brother that he had a wife and child - lifing, and received an answer to a letter she bad sent to some Of his relations in Worcester, in which all her suspicions were confirmed.—The prisoner declared, that with the excep tion of the complainant, he had no wife living,—He was re mandal. The RING.,--The whole of the combatants at the late Ni'ar wick tournament reached town last night, and. they are all" as well as can, be expected." Cannon complains of his neck, and of a difficulty of swallowing, arising, no doubt, from the blow he received in the throat in the first round. He is dreadfully cutup in spirits, and says he cannot account for his being beaten in so short a time. He says he feels as if it had been a mere dream.but adds, that so satisfied is he that he tan beat Ward, that he will fight him again for his own money. There are three other competitors for Ward's favour—namely, Brown, for 50t11. ; Langan for a like sum ; and the retired Champion, Spring himself, tor one thousand ! We shall, perhaps, hear more on the subject at Holt's benefit this day. SUPERSTITION.—In . the village of Bourne!, in the departibent of Lot, et Garonne (France), there lived a woman of the name of Petit, whose husband and son died suddenly, and whose mo ther had been for many years of with palsy, and also a woman of the name of Tonnadere and her mother, and the former of these two had been for some time afflicted with an inward complaint. In the same village there lived an old woman, very poor and very miserable, who had the reputa Gott of being a sorceress. All the four first mentioned used frequently to talk over their misfortunes, and all attributed them to the sorceress. They agreed to seize her and punish her, and on Sun day, Dec 12, 1824, proceeded to execute their plan. They seized her on the high road, beat her with slicks, and then dragged her to one s of their houses. Here, after endeavouring in vain to make her release them from her enchantmonts,and in spite of her 'protestations, they proceeded to burn her. They tied her hands, and actually placed her on' the tire, but her dreadful cries alarmed them, and 'they allowed her to escape , with life. She was cured after two months severe suffering ; and two of the women were lately con demned for this crime to ire 'exposed in the pit lOry, and to be imprisoned for five years.-- (French Paper.) •• Sir Thom ts BRISBANE mentions, that one of, the New Holland snakes which he has at home bit two of his pointers, one of which died in three and the other in thirty minutes. The venom is, therefore, as instantaneously fatal as Prussic acid. When Probert and his companions suffered, a Mr. Evans, who kept the John o'Groats, Broad well, went to see the execution, which had' such an effect upon him, as the same day to deprive him of his reason, and he continued in a state of mental derangement until Wednesday week, when he died.---(Sheffield Last night, between ten and eleven o'clock, a fire broke out in one of the out-buildings of Mr. Rhodes, a cow-keeper at filington. As the build. ing consisted only of wood, the names rapidly in creased, and caused great alarm amongst the in habitants. Mr. Rhodes's premises being conti guous to the New River, there was a good supply of water, and 'at one o'clock the flames were nearly extinguished. Tile ARMY. The 2d Battalion of the Rifle Brigade, which 11 at prei..vt stationed in Dublin, has completed its augmeiltation esiaNial.- Ment. • Detachments of Recruits belonging to the 6th, 21st, 31st, Cat, 46th, 47th, 54th, is9th, 60th, 69th, 70th, 71st, 74th, 89th, 93d, 94th, and Royal Staff Corps,. arrived in town on Wed nesday, from Scotland, slid Marched this: morning from Westminster to the Depots of their respective.Battaliona.

Dunrax, JuLz 19.—Yesterday the 3d ,Dragoon Guards, 15th Huzzars, Royal Artillery, 3d Foot Guards, 42d High landers, and 22d infantry, Were reviewed in the Phoenix Park, by Sir Colquhoun grant. The day was intensely hot, and few fashionables were on the ground, as the intention to man, oeuvre the troops was not publicly announced.
