LITERARY NOTICE. .A.LPHONSUS ; a TBA•EDY, in Five Acts. By GEOROE HYDE. AVe have often been surprised when we have read dramatic productions of considerable merit that would probably have been received with public approbation, if represented on the stage, but which have either been rejected by thea trical Managers, or have not been submitted to their .decision. It is, indeed, to be regretted that Managers seldom possess judgment , sufficient to appreciate the merit of literary Works, or that Gurtius, without the patronage of Greatness, or powerful private influence, has little chance of Laving its productions brought before the Public. The Work before us comes under this predica ment, for it has either not been sent to a Ma nage], or there has been a lamentable want of judgment in those who, having read it, are unable to estimate its value. We are persuaded that if jlphonsus had been represented on the stage, with all the advantage of impressive action and appropriate scenery, it would have been rendered sirccessful and attractive. The scene lies inSpain, at a time when the Monarch of that country was endeavouring to rid it of the Moors. Alphonsus is a well-drawn character : he is loyal, patriotic, and heroic in his public character—an affectionate; husband and father in domestic life. He is, therefore, well calculated to be the hero of a Tragedy. His wife Inez partakes of the same public and private virtues. Prince John is artful, perfidious, and ambitious. Lasteros, an old warrior, envious of a youthful hero more in fa vour with the King, is perhaps drawn with too odious a colouring of hatred, but it is still within Nature ; and the other characters are equally well designed, according to their several stations and the agency assigned to them. Sanctius, the King, is hardly rendered sufficiently important in the Piece, and it seems strange that he should go himself upon active warfare, and leave the go vermuent of a particular place to a youthful warrior, who l►ed been distinguished by success in the field. But the. fable altogether is well constructed, and is highly interesting. Some of the scenes are deeply pathetic and affecting, and the language is in general elevated without tur gidy. There are many passages of great poetical beauty, yet so interwoven with the general tex ture of the piece, that we have no room for ex tracts, but we can assure our readers that they will feel a strong interest in the story, and be powerfully impressed by the whole. We advise the Managers to do as they did by MILLMAN'S Fazio, but, however, with the concurrence of the Author, and, though the tragedy is published, to try its fortune on the stage. We do not know Mr. flynr, but we may fairly say, that his tra gedy ereitles him to hold a very respectable rank among the dramatic authors of the time. The Play is dedicated to EUGENICS ROCHE, Esq., the author of some beautiful Poems adapted to old French Melodies, which we noticed on a for mer occasion, and who, we have heard, is con cerned in the management of one of the most Juyal, spirited, and constitutional of our daily public prints. The taste and talents which Mr. ROCHE has displayed in the work alluded to, give him a► fair claim to this tribute of respect and friendship. From the LONDON GAZETTE, Aug. 23.

Enrrou—Being an idle medical man, 1 consider it as a duty 1 owe mankind to endeavour to counteract the injury which a Letter in your Paper of the 17th is calculated to produce. The Gentleman in that Letter endeavours to persuade people that the canine species have not the po‘i er of affecting mankind with Hydrophobia; he draws his conclusions from an idea that every species of animal have a clisti►:ct essence, varying in organization, formation, and in economy ; and that the dog is in all these respects dissimilar to man. To this, I think, he will find few people will agree, who understand the subject. Al though, in some respects, the formation of a dog differs considerably from the human species, in many of the essential points they are alike. The circulation of the blood is carried on by the same means—the influence of -the lungs—the nourish ment is received through the stomach and in testines—their muscles are acted upon by similar nerves—and their natural food is nearly the same. From these and a variety of other cir cumstances, I differ entirely in opinion with the said Gentleman. I conceive that many disorders which are common with the brute creation, and ,which we cannot easily investigate, have mdro nnalogy to diseases of mankind than is generally imagined—not that I think this has much to do with the propagation of the disease in question. We know that many plants and stings of insects and reptiles, when introduced into the circulation of man, either by a wound, or into the stomach, produce variety of disorders; and they have the same effect on almost all animals, which we have not knowledge sufficient to account for. We might as well deny their effect as to deny that the dog has the power of conveying to man the rabid disorder commonly called Hydro phobia. We also know that the cow has the power of infecting man with a disorder which renders him incapable of receiving the small poi, or at least of mitigating the effects of it ; and yet the cow, from being a trl-anivorous ani mal, is more dissimilar than the dog to man. I firmly believe that in countries where rabid animals are not very common, as in this, Many people are supposed to be laboring under Hydro phobia, and are treated as such, when these dis orders arise solely from the dread and apprehen sion of the terrible malady, for which there exist no grounds whatever, and it is owing to dogs being thought rabid when they are afflicted with other disorders—this accounts for the number of erroneous cases and opinions that we see publish ed. A few of this description I think are con tained in the Gentleman's letter. I am confident that no sensible man has ever seen a person die in a fit of Hydrophobia, and afterwards doubted its existence, or that the canine species have power of conveying it. I have often painfully witnessed it in a country where the disorder is common, and I am so thoroughly convinced of the truth of its existence that I am anxious people should not be deceived by the letter alluded to; it might have the bad effedt of preventing persons bitten by a rabid animal-from applying for relief in time, and I can solemnifvouch from Ton g experience, that pro ' phylactus are known. And I sincerely believe that after the horrid fit once comes on, no remedy is at present known. PHILANTHROPOS. - P. S.—l wish to recommend the writer of the letter on Hydrophobia to read the account of that disorder in a pamphlet entitled " Indian Field Sports," which will refer him to cases pub lished in a medical periodical work, and which ought to convince him that he is wrong. MANCHESTER, AUG. 19. (Delon the Rev. C.W.ETIIELST ON, and .T. BaIERLEY, Esq.) A CUItIOUS CASE. Mr. George Fletcher, a most respectable man, the landlord of the Griffin public-house, at Chectham, appeared to a summons at the instance of the Rev. C. W. Ethelston, to answer a charge of allowing tippling in his ho use , or rather, according to the summons with which he had been served, " for having, on the Itlth instant, artfully, knowingly, and designedly permitted a large number of persons—to wit, twenty—to sit and continue tippling and drinking in his dwelling-house, and taking part in their drunkenness." The case was introduced by Mr. Edmiston himself, who said to his clerk, Mr. Rutter, " o—we'll have that case now;" and pulling out his pocket-book, called out at least half a dozen names. Mr. James Howard, one of the witnesses called then came forward. Mr. ETHELSTON then put leading questions to this gentle. man, which, with the replies of the witness, were of so little consequence, that Mr. Edward Owen, who appeared as advo cate for Mr. Fletcher, did not cross-examine the witness. Mr. ETHELSTON then called Mr. Darnell, a surgeon, who, in reply to questions put to him by Mr. Ethelaton, the presid ing Magistrate, said that he came to a man oil the bowling_ green of Mr. Fletcher, whom he understood to have been hurt by a fall. The man appeared to be unwell. Mr. ETHELSTON then began to talk about thenian's having been knocked down, and his having had liquor at Mr. Flet cher's house. Mr. Owen objected to this mode of examining a witness, because it was assuming facts which were not in evidence. Mr. ETHELSTON then said to Mr. Owen, warmly, " I won't be interrupted—there is too much of it here." Mr. Owen replied, that it was his duty . to, object to any questiolmwhieh were irrelevant ter the thargi against his client, and which assumed facts that could not be proved. " Bring the waiter forward," Mr. ETHEL:3'I'ON then said. The waiter appeared, and proved in substance that he began to draw liquor at two o'clock in the afternoon, and continued to do so until nine. Mr. IiTIIELSTON then said " Now let me have Barlow," (another witness.) Mr. J. Barlow then came forward, and in reply to questions put-to him by Mr. Ethelston, said that he was bowling on the green, hut did not see the man in question have any liquor, nor did he see him knocked down ; he was too busy bowling to notice any thing but what he was about. Mr. E'CHELSTONE—" It is very well known in the neigh bourbood that the man was knocked down ; the parties don't say all they said to me. It has been my business to investigate this transaction, and f rom t h e prev i ous i n f orma ti o n that re ceived, I have no doubt that the man was drinking there. The case must be discharged, for it cannot be proved." The Rev. Gentleman then read a lecture to Mr. Fletcher on the propriety of keeping. a regular public-house, and then discharged him. Mr. I3rierly appeared to take little part in this novel pro ceeding. It is stated in a French paper, that at Torre villa-de -log-Cameros, in the district of Burgos, in Sp a in, during a tempestuous storm, on the sth great number of st one s of large size were ult.a discharged from the clouds upon the fields ! They in general weighed oz. each, but some of them were heavier. The French Papers of Monday are entirely destitute of interest. They, in like manner as the other foreign Journals, contain no intelligence of moment from Greece. The extract we sub. join relates to a misunderstanding between the Greek Government and the Captain of a French schooner, in reference to an alleged breach of the neutrality of France to the latter :-- (From the Eioik, dated Monday.) Pants, AUG. 21. The Greek journal T i le Friend of the Laws, of the 20th of June, publisheia letter from General Roche to the members of the Executive Council of the Provisional Government of Greece, and au answer from the Secretary-General Nano cordato. The General calls on the Government to contradict what the Hydra Journal had said against the Captain of a French schooner,who waareproached with having behaved in a manner as favourable to the fleet of the enemies of Greece as contrary to the neutrality declared by France. Alavrocordato spswers i thatthe General's letter shall be in. terted In the krydra':/ournali and declares that the news pub lished ,in that 4ourndl is neit,Yter official nor commanded by the Government. He adds, that' the Greek Government is persuaded, even should there be any unfounded susOcions against the Captain of the Arnaranthe, of having cnnveyed money belonging to Ibrahim Paella, that it is impossible the French Ministry should ever have given such s permission. " It is with the same conviction," adds Mavrocordato, " that I express on the part of my Government the gratitude due to the humane sentiments which animate the French nation towards Greece." While the Secretary-General of the Greek Government ex presses himself in this manner at Napoli di Romania, the Con stitutionnsl insults at Paris the French Government, and dares to suspect it of having violated the neutrality which it has of declared. We refer the Conatitutiounel to the circular of General Guilleminot to all our Consuls in the Levant. It will there see what was in these circumstances the language of France. Tile Thrmistocles, a merchant vessel, which arrived at Cadiz, had for a figure-head a bust of Buonaparte, which was extremely like. It was also adorned with a large Imperial Eagle, attached to two crosses, surmounted' by a garland, and bordered with little eagles, and in large letters the inscription Le Heros du Siecle. Some sailors of the ex-Imperial Guard, and a detachment of Infantry, in the Sanatory service, all soldiers and sailors, would probably have destroyed the insignia, had not the brig suddenly departed. It is false that, as the Constitutiounel mays to-day, some shot have been exchanged between an English vessel and an Aus. trian. The Lord High Commissioner, it is true, has been on board the Austrian Commander, but the departure of the Eng lish vessels frot•.l Corfu was occasioned by as Algerine frigate. The Frankfort Papers to the 17th August came to hand this day. We make the subjoined extract : SWITZEICLAND, — AUG. 13. In the Sitting of the Diet on the 4th of this month, it ap peared from a dethiled report of the Deputy of the Canton of Vaud, respecting the affair of the Dappenthel, that no progress whatever has been made in it, and that the restitution of it by France, according to the decision of the Vienna Congress, has not been obtained, though otherwise the rectification of the frontiers with France is as good as completed. With an ener getic reservation of the rights of the Confederation and of the Canton of Vaud to the Dappenthal, which the presiding Can ton is constantly to maintain in conformity with the preceding resolutions of the Diet, it is authorised and commissioned to renew on every favourable occasion its efforts to procure an amicable adjustment of this disagreeable affair. llA:sißuncm, AUG. 19.—Exchange on London, 35. 11f. ; tvo months, 35. 84. VIENNA, Au°. 10.—Three months, 9. 3 S. The Nuremburg correspondent to the 16th August, arrived this day, we submit the sub joined extract, relating to the state of affairs in Spain to the notice of our Readers. If the contents are true, it would appear that better things are in store far that distracted coun try, and that, in a portion of it at least, improve ment has begun. It is hardly to he expected, however, that this improvement will extend itself to the nation at large, unless the advantages re sulting from the system pursued by the new Captain-General of Catalonia shall force a con viction of its utility and excellence ,upon the mind of the KING, and thus induce him resolutely to adopt it in •preference to that line of policy which he ha.; hitherto so obstinately and so un- wisely followed. FROM THE RHONE, AUG. 6. Since the arrival of the new Captain General Marquis de Campo Sagrado at Barcelona, the internal state of Catalonia has essentially improved, and it is to be expected that this im provement will be rapidly progressive.—Campo Sagrado, who, ;during his previous administration, showed himself so mode rate and equitable, and whose measures were for the most part revoked, or essentially modified by his successor, Curo, who was wholly guided by the Exalted and the Clergy of the Arch bishop-of Tarragona, has begun by replacing every thing on the same footing as it was under his former administration ; but as his hands are not so tied as they were before, and the present Ministry has given him unlimited powers with respect to his administration, he can now, without giving offence, make many new arrangements and regulations which he could not think of before, because he was obliged at that time to take care net to offend the Apostolic party at Madrid. But now that , the state of things is changed, and he is on the most confiden tial terms with the Prime Minister Zea, and has besides ac quired the confidence of King Ferdinand, he is able to pro ceed straight forward in his own way. This is the key to the very peaceable and moderate reaction which now takes place in Catalonia. It is a peculiarly fortunate circumstance for that province that a perfectly good smderstand ing prevails between him and the French Commander in Chief, General Reizet; who was on very ill terms with his predecessor. This misunderstanding gave rise to innumerable disputes, which have now wholly ceased. The Ultras in Catalonia, who are perfectly aware of all this, are, therefore, obliged to give up all opposition to the present system, and to submit to circum stances. To this may be added, that the Bishop of Tarragona, the most declared opponent of the moderate system, is entirely incapacitated by his illness from interfering in State affairs; another obstacle to which is, that he is in disgrace with the Ministry, and even in danger of being criminally proceeded against for hisarbi. trary proceedings—among others, his attempt to establish the In quisition in his diocese. It will, therefore, not be necessary for the troops assembled at Perpignan to enter Catalonia to support their countrymen and the Spanish Captain-General. The state of Arragon is by no means so good. Party spirit is very active there, and every thing is done to excite the Royal Volunteers in the town, and the country people, against the Government, The projected march of the fanatical peasants to Saragossa has been prevented. On the other hand, Charles V. has already been proclaimed in several districts of Arragon, for which rea son orders have been given to institute a legal investigation. If there is any class of individuals, which in a more especial manner than another deserves the support and patronage of the public, or has better claims to the highest considerations of the coun try, it is that class from which our Schoolmasters iand Tutors are taken. The slightest reflection displays at once all that we individually, and as a nation, owe to them, for that indefatigable in dustry, and patient perseverance,. with which they form the minds and cultivate the talents of the rising generation of each succeeding age, and instil into them those high principles of virtue and honour, from which they may date all the success and all the happiness of their after lives. Amidst a class so extended as this, it must necessarily happen that many from unavoidable evils, and frone circumstances peculiarly attach ing to their profession are the victims of poverty, and plunged into the depths of misery and woe. We cannot ali command success, and how patient, how meritorious, how industrious soever we may be, the storm may overtake us of a sudden, and turn our house of joy into a house of woe and mourning. Te alleviate these evils, to che rish such as May he the victims of misfortune, the more successful of their brethren, (mindful from what source their prosperity is derived,) have associated themselves together to form a So ciety for the Relief of distressed Schoolmasters and Ushers, and their Widows and Orphans. It is this Society of Schoolmasters to which we wish to direct the public attention, as one in an especial manner claiming their attention, and asking of their gratitude that encourage ment and support so excellent an Institu tion merits, Claims . like these every heart must acknowledge—they are intimately inter woven with our brightest recollections, and closely connected with our present condition, as springing from the source whence all our earliest impressions are derived, which stamped ; our characters, and marked us out for what we are. These claims are however best advocated by themselves in their address to the public, a part of which we subjoin : " These claims may be said to be founded, chiefly, on the superior utility, and i n d ee d p aramount necess i t y, o f the pro- 1 fession itself, and some peculiar evils, with which it is invari ably attended. Every man, who is now enjoying the pure de lights, and merited rewards of literature and science, cannot but remember, with gratitude, the labours of the faithful and assiduous Preceptor, who removed the rude barriers of igno rance, and laid the deep foundation of his pleasures and his fame. The Statesman, who, by his wisdom and eloquence, guides the helm of S ta t e ; th e J u d ge , w h ose learning and in. corruptible integrity, enable him to interpret and administer the laws of his country, with justice tempered with mercy; and the Advocate, who vindicates, with resistless force, the cause of the innocent and oppressed, can never forget the patient, hum.
