COVENT-GARDEN.—The Man q f the World was repres en t e d h ere l ast n i g h t, and for what reason Mr. YOUNG, in Sir Pertinax, was assaulted by two noisy fellows in the Upper Gallery, with cries of " Off, off!" At length the insulted Performer came forward, and expressed himself as follows : ' "I am aware that it is only in rare cases an actor may ad ' dress an audience. Every one has a right to express his dis approbation; and if it be done at intervals, it does not inter. fere with the business on the stage. But I must beg to suggest to you, that if these expressions of disapproval be kept up, it is impossible the actor can preserve that abstraction which is ne cessary to the illusion of the scene." Mr. YOUNG evidently delivered this speech under some degree of agitation. The applause of the audience however was so fervent as to afford him a full compensation for the unmanly outrage, and he rewarded them by a❑ admirable per formance of the character. HA. YMARKET.—The Rival Valets was repeated last night, and was not only completely success ful, but very warmly applauded throughout. The character a•signed to LISTON adds to the many which peculiarly suit his powers, and which none but himself can render equally prominent. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—The new and de servedly successful Opera of Broken Premises was followed last night by that old favourite of the Public, The Padlock. Mks GOWARD ac quitted herself very well in Leonora, TnonNE in Leander, and SLOMAN in Mango. TAYLEURE and his wife also were very successful in Diego and Ursula. EDINBURGH THEATRE.-Saturday evening last closed the winter season, on which occasion the performances were The Talisman and Mary Stuart. At the close of the latter piece, there was a loud call for Mr. MURRAY, who came for ward,and addressed the audience as follows : " Ladies and Gentlemen—l have to request your pardon for not attending to your summons earlier ; bat as it has never been the custom to address you upon the termination of the winter season, I was totally unprepared for the honour of again meeting you this evening ; and requesting you will excuse the delay, I now attend your commands, and respectfully solicit a knowledge of your pleasure.—[ Here it was intimated to Mr. Murray, that it was the wish of the audience to know whether he was to remain in the management or not.]—Ladies and Gentlemen—Had it been my intention to have quitted Edin burgh, the very kind and extremely liberal proposals Mrs. Henry Siddons has this very evening made me, would have determined my remaining. —(Loud and continued applause.) —But, in justice to my own feelings, I assure you, that I never for one moment entertain e d th e idea of leaving my sister exposed to the difficulties attendant on the manage. ment of a Theatre ranking so highly as that of Edinburgh.— Some weeks ago, it was deemed advisable that Mrs. Siddons should apply for permission to let this Theatre during the re mainder of the l'atent, a circumstance which induced me se riously to contemplate accepting an invitation which had been made me to visit London professionally; but toy sister aban doning all thoughts of letting the property, saved me from the painful alternative of quitting my kind and indulgent patrons ; and believe me, Ladies and Gentlemen, the interest you have this evening condescended to evince respecting me, will stimu late me to redoubled efforts in your service, and never, nev e r will be effaced from my remembrance."—(Loud applause.)

STEAM-ENGINE. (From the Scotsman.) DUNDEE AND NEWHAVEN FERRIES.-TWIN STEAM-BOATS, &c.—The last number of the Edinburgh Phi. losophical Journal contains an interesting article from the able pen of Captain Basil Hall, on these ferries, and the adaptation of twin steam-boats to ferry navigation. After noticing the previous state of the Dundee ferry, and the tragical event which more immediately led to its improvement, he gives a detailed view of the proceedings of the trustees, a luminous description of the twin steam-boat, and the vast facilities it af. fords for the transportation of passengers, horses, carts, car riages, and cattle. It appears that previous to 1821, when the steam-boat began to ply, the average number of foot passengers seems not to have exceeded 70,000 annually, and the receipts were never much upwards of 2,0001., whereas last year the number of foot passengers exceeded 100,000, and the receipts were 3,7901. • (From the Fife Herald.) In the year 1792 we chanced to be at the quay be:ow. Dumfries, for the purpose of sea bathing, and we shall never forget the interest with which, on a pleasant summer, or rather harvest afternoon, we beheld a large double vessel making her way along the Nith without sails, and by the aid of machinery alone. Upon inquiry, it proved that this was only one of " Miller of Dalswinton's numerous maggots," at which the country in general, and the sailors on this occasion- in par ticular, took the liberty of laughing immoderately. We had, indeed, heard again and again of Mr. Miller, but had always been taught by - the sage and calculating neighbourhood to con, sider him as an individual but one remove from insanity, who took delight in spending great sums of money, nobody could see with what view, or for what good purpose. Little did we think at the time when the vessel passed us, that we are ac. tually witnessing the introduction of a new kern into the art of navigation, and that we were joining in foolish and popular ri dicule, and even contempt of a man whose name will go down to posterity, whilst names at that time more likely to be re membered will be entirely forgot. From a paper which we have just read with great interest in the Edinburgh Philosophical Jiurnal, we find that Patrick Miller, Esq. the son of the late Mr. Miller, of Dalswinton, in Dumfrieshire, has come for, ward, and in is distinct and most satisfactory and convincing manner, asserted his father's claims to the application of the • steam-engine to the movement of vessels. The small steam, engine used by Mr. Miller as far back as the year 1788, for the purpose of propelling a small boat upon his pleasure lake at l)alswinton, is still preserved by his son, and this will re main to many succeeding generations in all probability an heir-loom in the family, and an evidence of that incalculable debt which his country and the human race owe to this emi nently enterprising and enlightened individual. We have beefl led to these observations respecting the double boat of Mr. Miller, which we actually saw launched in the year 1792, from observing the similarity in her construction to those which are now plying with such success betwixt Newport and Dundee, upon which, as well as upon the Dundee and New. haven passages, we have a very sensible and interesting paper, in the same periodical, from the masterly and authoritative pen of Captain Basil Hall, of the Royal Navy. GUILDFORD THEATRE.-Othello was perform, ed on Tuesday night at this Theatre, with the Follies of a Day, supported, according to the Play Bills, by 4 ' a combination of unusual and extraordinary resplendency." The principal male characters of the Tragedy were sustained by amateurs, and Desdemona was performed by Mrs. BUNN. Colonel BERKELEY played the • „ Moor. His performance, in many instances, was powerful, and throughout judicious. Dublin is immediately to be honoured with a visit from Sir WALTER SCOTT, who is going on a visit to hi s son, Captain SCOTT, of th e 1 5th Hussars, now quartered in Dublin. Sir WALTER was expected yesterday. Dr. THORNTON, of Horbury, started from that place at two o'clock on Monday morning, for a wager of one hundred sovereigns, to run his horse, in a gig, to London, in forty-eight hours, which he performed in forty-one hours,with out at all distressing the horse. A new three wheeled carriage has been invent ed at Bristol, which will travel at the rate of eight miles per hour, and is to be propelled by manual labour from within the vehicle. ITALIAN BEAUTY.—A tourist gives the follow ing account of Italian beauty:—At Turin, several young Italian women were walking on the terrace, in English dresses, and with graceful downcast looks, in which you might fanc3K that you read the soul of the Decameron. It was a fine, serious grace, equally remote f rom F renc h l ev ity an d E ng li s h su ll en . ness, but it was the last I saw of it. I have run the gauntlet of vulgar shapes and horrid faces ever since. The women in Italy (so far as I have seen hitherto) are detestably ugly. They are not even dark and swarthy, but a mixture of brown and red, coarse, marked with the small-pox, and with pug fea tures, awkward, ill-made, fierce, dirty, lazy, neither attempt ing nor hoping to please. Italian beauty (if there is, as lam creditably informed, such a thing) is retired, conventual, denied to the common gaze. It was, and it remains, a dream to me. • THE KING'S BODY G UARD.—For some years' past, the Royal Company of Archers, his Majesty's Body Guard, have shot matches betwixt the married and bachelor mebers of the Company, with nearly alternate success ; and on Tuesday last, the match was most keenly contested, when, after a great deal of excellent shooting, the bachelors counted 16, and the married men 15, the last point being gained by a very close measure, decided in favour of the bachelors.—( Edin burgh Courant, July 14.) An experienced correspondent in Hamilton mentions that bees have swarmed uncommonly well this season. There is scarcely an old hive in Hamilton but what has thrown off a swarm or two. A man in Campbell-street has a fine swarm that he set down in the country, and it has throlv n off (that day four weeks it was put into the hive) what beemen call, a virgin swarm. If the season holds on propitious, honey will be very plenty this season. A man in the Townhead, who is accustomed to weigh his hives nightly, found that one of them, in 3 weeks, was 501 b. clear of the board or stone that it stands upon. One very fine day it gained no less than 5f lbs.—(Glasgo z Chronicle.)
