DRURY-LANE.—The return of Mr. DOWTON, last night, to this Theatre, after an Absence of two years, was hailed by the admirers of genuine comic talents as a felicitous event. He made his appearance in the - character of Falstaff, in the excellent Comedy of The Merry Wives of Windsor. According to tradition, this Comedy was written by desire of QUEEN ELIZABETH, in order to represent the jovial and , licentious Knight in love. Little.reliance, however, can be placed on this tradition, as Falstaff is not repre sented in love in this Comedy, since, by his own acknowledgment, he means to employ the two merry wives merely for the purpose of getting nto the coffers of their husbands. I n fact, Fa/staff discovers more real attachment to Dolly Mar sheet, in the Play of Henry the Fourth, than to either of the merry wives, and his lave to her, as might be expected, was of the grossest nature ; and therefore the Queen had no reason to sup pose that it would be otherwise in any subsequent Play. But to the performance : Mr. DOITTON had a triumphant reception on 'his entrance, and he supported the character with his usual spirit, humour, and energy. • Ford was natural and spirited in the hands of WALLACK, one of the most unaffected actors on the London boards. Tuomesorf .(for the first time, we ,believe,)took the part of " mine Host. of the Garter." As he generally, appears in grace characters, we did not expect to find him play the waggish landlord ,with .so much active spirit. Mrs. Ford and Mrs-Page were given with spirit by Miss GRADDON.and Miss CUBITT ; HARLEY in Muster Slender, GATTIE in Dr. Gains., 11 °RN in.Fenton, and Miss POVEY in Ann Page, were duly ap plauded ; and the comedy altogether was well received. The - farce was The Sleeping Draught, in which Itiatr.tt is the' whimsical and divert. ing hero—A good house. The vessels that came to anchor yesterday from the West Indies met with tremendous gales on their voyage. The weather off the Cape has also been very tempestuous. BOULOGgE, SEPT. 25.—0 n Wednesday morn ing the Rev. Mr. EDGE, a minister, hut recently arrived as a visitor, met with a fatal accident. Mr. Edge. was fond of bathing, and on this occasion, while preparing to indulge in his favourite recreation, he was advised by a friend to be on his guard against the effects of the current, as there was some dan ger when the tide was in the state in which it then was. The Rev. Gentleman, on receiving this caution, treated it rather lightly, observing, that for him ,the peril was not so great as had been supposed, seeing he was an excellent swimmer. He proceeded to bathe, when the current to which his attention had been called carried him away from the land: his eflbrts to re turn were ineffectal, and he 'sunk to rise no more. The news of this event was communicated to his wife and sister, who had accompanied him, by the Rev. Mr. Simmonds and another gen tleman. To describe the effect of the afflicting intelligence on the ladies is impossible. The sister rushed franticly forward to seek her lost relative—she was with difficulty restrained ; and the wife sunk to the ground, overwhelmed by the awful tidings, in a fainting state. Every effort has since been made to recover the body, but witl•out effect. It is supposed to have been carried into the deep water by the storm which fol lowed. _ ECONOMY IN COALM.—Take the ashes and small cinders which full from the fire, and wet them till they are like the mortar used by .bricklayers ; that done, put them on the back part of the fire, when those who have not made the experi ment will be surprised to find, that, in conjunction with coal, they make an excellent fire, that will answer any common pur. pose.—(Housekaperi Magazine.) POETRY. TO DEPARTING SUMMER. Ere Winter, stern Winter, dismantles thy bowers, We reluctantly murmur adieu! Farewell to thy fruits, and farewell to thy flowers, That could charm with each flavour and hue. Farewell to the warmth of thy bright sunny skies! To the balm of thy mornings, farewell! Adieu the wild notes that were wont to arise, From the woodlands, the grove and the dell ! With branclieg bcdeck'd, the last sheaf from the fields Hath merrily vanish'd—the horn No longer at twilight its melody yields, By the breeze o'er the valley uphorne. The leaves of the forest their colour of green Have changed for the hue of decay ; And the wind, as it rustles the branches between, Seems to sigh o'er the fall of its prey. To soften our parting, thy liberal hand (That so rarely is slack to bestow) Bath lavish'd thy treasures throughout the wide land, Till our stores with abundance o'erflow. Yet in vain do we labour to stifle the sigh Of regret, as.we gaze on thy flight To regions where Winter ne'er troubles the sky. Nor sheds on thy beauties a blight. When the tyrant, envelop'd in clouds, shall descend, ' And his storms round our dwellings shall howl— As over the blaze of the faggots we bend, And circle the health.pledging bowl. We'll toast thee, gay Summer !—and,,deep as we quaff The juice of thy grape, we'll remeMber, 'Tis thy bounty enables us blithely t o latigli At the blustering wrath of December. Then, fare thee well, spirit benignant and bright! We must bear with thine absence awhile: Time shall bring thee again, in thy garment of light, To adorn and to gladden our isle HYDE PARK. Mrt. EDITOR—It is denied, it seems ; that the Parks are public property, and asserted that they belong to the Crown. But granting this to be fact, is not the conduct of the Crown a proof how much popular enjoyments have been respected by our Monarchs, since no attempt has been made to take portions of ground out of the Parks for the use of the King ; and his present MAJFSTY ; as has been observed in your Paper, graciously condescended to have that report contradicted, which stated that infringements were intended to take place in St. James's Park. From whom then does the authority emanate which appears to have granted a consi derable portion of Hyde Park to be annexed to APSLEY HOUSE? has hits MAJESTY givan per mission that such favour is to be shewn to the Duke of WELLINGTON ; as he declined to take himself? The Public, lam persuaded, desire to know distinctly by whose order has the ground been measured which appears to be in tended for the use of the Duke of W cr.LING TON ? Does he obtain it from the gracious per mission of the Ranger, or is it a grant from the Gentlemen who presides over the Wooos and FORESTS ? Is the Duke of WELLINGTON quite sure that he and his family are in such favour with the country that all people will delight in seeing, his enjoyments increased at whatever sa crifice to the Public ? I am glad to see some of your brother Journalists take up this subject with a due feeling of iußi.ic JUSTICE ; mid hope that they will persevere till the matter is settled one way or other. Park-lane, Sept. 26. • PUBLILTS. • ROBERTS'S SAFETY HOOD.—This admirable in vention for enabling persons to enter rooms filled with smoke or noxious vapours was yesterday put to as severe a test, per, haps, as it has ever been. A room nearly air tight, used for stoning silk, at the dyehouse of Mr Smallwood, in this town, was entered by a man, wearing the hood ; a large quantity of brimstone was then ignited, which instantly filled the room with a dense vapour; the man remained in the midst of it about a' quarter of an hour, when the door was opened, and he was desired to come forth. On being asked whether he had felt any inconvenience, he replied, that so far from that, he thought lie could have remained in it all day, with the hood on, though he and his fellow-workmen consider ed it would be impossible to have breathed In the room without the hood for 3 minutes. We never witnessed a more decided proof of the success of an invention than in this instance, and we trust the ingenious inventor will reap the well-knerited re ward of his discovery.—(llfacelesfield Herald.) PUBLIC WHlPPlNG.— Yesterday morning en unfortunate wretch, who was convicted at the London Sessions of stealing a quantity of lead from some buildings in Fleet market, was, pursuant to his sentence, publicly whipped at the cart's tail, from the corner of Fleet-street to the end of George alley, Fleet-market, in the presence of thousands of spectators. The culprit appeared to receive his punishment with perfect indifference. He was a man of colour, named Courtland.— Previous to his being tied to the cart, a man stripped, and of fered to undergo the punishment for the black. Upon being refused, he poured forth a volume of abuse on Mr. Corx, the City i%larshal, and otherwise so misconducted himself, that he was locked up in at. Bride's watch-house. Yesterday, about balf t past twelve o'clock, two unoccupied houses in New Round -court, Strand, fell down with a tremendous crush. As soon as the cloud of dust had dis persad, motherswere seen in a state of distraction, till the fate of their children, who had been playing in the court, was known ; but most providentially, not a single individual was missing or injured. The persons who had occupied the fallen houses, had removed but a very short time since. The tenements in the rear, which were entered. by a narrow passage, are com pletely blocked up by the ruins, and the inhabitants are obliged to pass through one of their neighbour's houses:— There is left standing a high wall, which threatens much danger. A Lk11111240 Fiat.—Between two and three o'clock this morning, the lower part of the house of Mr. nsnta, in Blandford,MewS,.Manchester square, was discovered to be on fire. Theviatch man instantly gaVe the alarm, and the family had barely time to escape by the first - floor windows, the flames haVing ascended with such amazing ra pidity. Fortunately, the station of the Union Fire Offic e b e i ng at h an d, t h e engine was in a few ininutes on the spot, and a plentiful supply of water being re a dil y o bt a i ne d, the t wo e l ements were opposed to other for a very consider able time, when that of the water obtaining the ascendancy, the flames were confined to the one house, and about four o'clock totally subdued, having destroyed and gutted the entire of th e borings and lower part of the'house. Last Saturday evening, as Mr. JOHN BEARD, eldest son of T. BEARD, Esq., of Rottingdean, was riding at a very moderate pace, on the road leading to Kemprown, Brighton, his horse fell, and threw him with great violence, and h e pitched on his head, without his hat, which had fallen of; his skull was so dreadfully fractured that he died about two hours ofterwaos, though medical aid was promptly called to his assist ance. It is only five weeks ago, this day, that we announced in our paper the marriage of the unfortunate deceased gentleman to a very amia ble young lady, sow, alas ! a widow.---qSusrex Advertiser.)

The Silver Cup and Cover given by the friends of Mr. Got.' ling, of the Swan Tavern, Battersea Bridge, was sailed for yes. terday, by the following pleasure vessels:— Tons. Owners. Sylph - . - 13 - - E. Codd, Spitfire - 6 - - T. Bettesworth, Don Giovanni - 11 - J. M. Davey, Mermaid - 9 - - M. J. Crockers. The boats started at two o'clock to sail to Wandsworth, and back to Battersea-bridge. From the well-known superiority of the Don Giovanni; no doubt was entertained of her ultimate success. They had a light breeze, and the Don shot a-head, leaving the other vessels a considerable distance in her wake. The Sylph was nearest the Don Giovanni, and the contest be tween those boats afforded much admiration. The Giovanni, however, kept the advantage, and won the Prize. - ; .She was received by the spectators with loud cheers, and the Swan at Battersea, was all life and merriment. The Sylph is one of the best, boats above Bridge, and when they have got her trim, there is no doubt of her beating most of vessels of her class.— The small sailing boats were so much astern, that they did not get up to Wandsworth. CRICKET.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. M4ssioN-HousE.—Yesterday Mr. Atkinson, a gentle man who resides in the City, was summoned before the LORD MAYOR, upon a very singular charge, that of havin g con fi ne d one of his servant-m a id s i n her bed.room with a bundle of ropes. The complainant stated that she retired to bed on Saturday night at eleven o'clock. On Sunday morning, at half past o'clock, her mistress .came to her door, and wished to, get in, but walked down stairs again as the door was not immediately opened. Her master soon afterwards' came up with a bundle of ropes, and tied her door. to the banisters, and in the room: dre had to stay all day and night without victuals. For this im prisonment she sought redress. She had received notice to quit tome time before, because she refused to eat stinking meat. Mr. Atkinson said that the complainant could never be pre vailed upon to rise at a sufficiently early hour, and hefted threatened to tie up her doo r if s h e persevered in her lazy habits. He had accordingly done as he had promised, upon finding that nothing could correct • her; but instead of com plaining of the confinement as a grievance, she bad told 'her fellow-servant that she was delighted to have a holiday. With regard to the charge of stinking meat, he could only say that he and, his wife had eaten at supper of the meat which had been rejected its the kitchen at dinner. The Loan Mavon severely condemned the conduct of the defendant in confining his servant, and observed, that such punishment might have been a tt en d e d w i t h very b a d cohse. quences. The vice of laziness was very bad certainly, but it was too great a stretch of authority to confine the poor girl, or to punish her in any other way than that of verLal reproach or dismissal. His Lordship, however, felt convinced that Mr. Atkinson did not, in pursuilig the plan had adopted, i n t en d any injury to'the girl. • . Mr. Atkinson said the complainant should find that when. ever her character should be inquired after, she should balms - to reason . to suppose that this charge would tend to injure her,ift the minds of her master and mistress..- - --The ease was the4-dis cllarged. GUILDHALL.—G. Cane, 'a pig -jobber, was charged under the following circumstances :—One 'Ragan, a pig-jobber - hAti come to Smithfield Ma r ket on M on d ay ; . - an d purchased' .of stranger, to whom he was to pay 61. 13s. • Ragan paid him J. 10s. instead, and did n ot di scover hi s m i sta k e unt i l the stranger had gone away. Cane, however, had some remembrance that he resided near Hornsey, and was dispatched to get back th'e three sovereigns, with a promise that h e s ho u ld h ave 3s. for lie succeeded in his"rnission, but in execut i ng 0, went a circuit of nearly twenty. miles; and,itherefore, coneeiVed he was entitled to some higher reward than three shillings. 'Ra gan would have nothing but his bond ; and Cane persisting that he would have somethi ng more, changed one ot' the soverdgs, when Ragan gave him into custody; and be was confined all night.—Mr. Alderman Wood thought it a stretch , of authorkty to detain the man upon such a charge, and said he mast he , 41a.- charged, a nd recomm e n d e d R agan to .give him 6e. for kiii trouble. Ragan took the Magistrate's- hint, and accepted the 21. 145. • LONDON MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, SjtvT. 28. • • The wind being fair has brought in a great many vessels 1644 most descriptions of Grain.

CANTERBURY, SEPT. 26.—Our Saturday's market exbi. bited a very short share of samples, and rio business was am., so that we cannot quote any price. Twenty pounds was offered by a dealer for a choice lot from Waltham, but refused; and we do not hear of any other offer being made. MAIDSTONE, SEPT. 26.—The picking is very general,. and is expected will he by•the end of the week; the crop de. plorably short. Much discontent a m ongst t h e p i c k ers, and .a strike for increased pay took place, which was afterwards' re gretted, hands being very numerous. SEPT. 26.—The Hop market has advanced Lin price considerably since last week, the duty falling short of what was expected. Duty doing at £22,0e0, and not even this ex pected : upon the whole, we may fairly calculate an advanceef forty pei cent. upon 1824 growth.
