Possible commodity, it follows that their value must b e assumed as a standard by which to judge of the value of every thing else. 4 11, success is to attend the persons who have e mbarked their capital in these under takings, it will have the effect of throwing a vast mass of the precious metals into the world in ge ',al, no __ " ,especially into this country.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—The new Opera of Tarrare has evidently made a strong impression on the Public, for even a more numerous audience than attended on the first representation was pre sent last night. The boxes in particular had a considerable portion of the higher orders. In our account yesterday we stated that the music in general is " various and appropriate, sometimes grave, sometimes sprightly, and sometimes good." The last word, however,' was a misprint, and should have been grand, as the composition fully justifies. Though the whole of the music was corn posed by SALTER!, part of it was taken from ' his Tarrare, and past from his Palmyra. Mr. llawEs had the merit of selecting and uniting the respective portions into one impressive and interesting whole, and also of introducing the piece on the English Stage. The Proprietor has abundantly discharged his duty in bringing it for ward with adequate splendour, and the Performers are zealous in giving suitable effect to the repre sentation. The general effect indeed was all that could be required, and we predict that the ex cellent music s magnificent decorations, and ad mirable acting in this Opera, will ensure it suc cess throughout the season. Mr. BuaHass de serves particular notice for the merit of his acting in this piece, as he displayed spirit, judgment, and feeling. As !o his tinging, it is equal to whatever it has bee❑ since his first appearance in public. Mr. PHILLI PS evi dently improves in acting, and does full jus tice to the part of the Sultan. Miss PaTox ap pears to very great advantage both in acting and singing. Miss HAMILTON, fortified by pub lic favour, displayed considerable merit in Asta sia, and Mr. TuottrlE is active and interesting in the part of Calpigi,and his sprightly sang is already a popular favourite. The piece was rendered more compact and impressive last night, by the omission of whatever retarded the progress of the fable, and extended the whole too long for con venient representation. The Weekly Paper entitled The Age, of Sun day last, contained a very severe attack upon a popular Actor, accusing him of the most odious ingratitude, but did not state the nature of the charge. The fact, as stated in theatrical circles, is, that the Actor arrested his employer for an ar rear of salary, which it was not convenient for the latter to discharge at that moment. If the fact be as thus stated, it is certainly .a very repre hensible return to the kindness of the employer, who protected the Actor at one of the most cri tical periods of his life, and re-established him in public favour. Whatever, therefore„ may be his merits on the stage, it must he admitted that, in this instance, he has not acted well in private life. Miss Foo'rE is succeeding beyond all descrip tion at Liverpool ; her engagement is for ten nights, for which five hundred guineas were long since insured her. Such has been the immense attraction of this fascinating actress, that the Manager, it is said, will gain at least 1,000/. by the engagement. Yesterday her Royal flightless the Duchess of KENT, the Duzhess of, COBURG, and Princess FEODORE and suite, visited the Royal IV,lenagerie, Exeter 'Change, and were pleased to express the highest gratification at the sight of this immense National Establishment. . • . The General Steam Navigation Company's packet, the Earl of Liverpool, arrived yesterday at the Tower, from Ostend, with the Mail. The Post Office sailing packet the Eclipse, left Os tend on Saturday evening, but was obliged to return with the loss of her mast, as' it blew very hard. The Mail `was, however, put on board the Earl of Liverpool steam-packet, and .landed safely at the Tower yesterday morning about one o'clock. • • HYDItOPHOBIA.-Last evening a scene the most appalling was witnessed about eight.o'clock, in the house of Mr. Jeremiah -Connell, Margaret-street, - Oxford-street. In the first floor of the house a family of the name of . Webster, resided, and towards the close of the .last month a dog, in a dreadfully rabid state, belonging to, a factory where Webster acted as superintendant, was, while rushing about the build- . ing, seized bY him, and in his efforts to destroy the animal he was bitten in a shocking manner on the right breast and arm; the dog escaped from his grasp, but was killed by one of the men. Mr.' Webster immediately had the places cauterized, and Applied the lunar caustic, but his spirits .becoming de pressed, his employer recommended sea-bathing, and the unfor tunate man for upwards of ten days adopted that advice,. and a few days since returned apparently.in better health, but still the unaccountable depression of spirits was not removed, owing to the cause desctibed, probably heightened by a nervous dispo sition. • On Saturday last he left his work,,and returned home," wildly saying, " he felt it coming on," and requested a quan tity of laudanum would be given him. Mr. Le .Mayne, •a Me dical Gentleman, attended promptly, and endeavoured to com • pose his mind; but before the night Webster sank into a kind of stupor, from which he suddenly. arose, displaying, the symp toms of the dreadful complaint, which increasing gradually, he continued in great agony until Tuesday evening, and expired. His wife and family (seven in number) are reduced to the most distressing state; and an eye-witness to his last moment has declaied to our informant he never 'witnessed a more awfully agonising scene. LAMENTABLE SUICIDE. -Yesterday• evening un Inquisition was taken, at the Black Horse tavern ; Kingsland road, on the body of JAMES' BOULES, Esq:, formerly an, Officer in his Majesty's Navy. The Jury had viewed the body ; the head was almost severed from the trunk, and the left hand was nearly amputated from the arm. Mrs. E. Hunt, of the Kingsland-road, stated t The deceased had lodged five months in - her house. Last Monday week he left home after break fast, and returned at four o'clock in .the afternoon, when he appeared dreadfully agitated. • He then _asked her to lend him four or five pounds which she refused, assigning as a reason that she had not so much cash in the house.— He again went out,. and did not return till the following, Thursday. On that day, he informed her that he was married the day before (Wednesdayj, and that lie and his bride, had spent their nuptial day at Richmond. His wife he had left under the protection of her friends, , and he expressed his inten tion of bringing her home on that night. At the close of this con versation he left the house, but previous to doing so he ordered supper to be got ready at an early hour,and suitable accominoda . tion to be provided for the reception of Mrs. Boules. He did not, however return on that evening, nor did he make' is appearance until the Saturday, at which time she (the witness) remon strated with him on his breach of promise in not returning on Thursday evening, particularly as she had been put to inconve nience in making arrangements for his and his lady's reception. On Saturday-evening he brought home his bride and they dined together; • after dinner his spirits were evidently much de pressed, notwithstanding every exertion on her part and that of his wife to revive him. He and Mrs. Boules retired to rest at half-past ten o'clock. At the hour of five in the morning, she heard the back door open, and some . person walk into the garden. About nine o'clock in the morning the deceased was found dead in the water closet, with a wound in his throat, and a cut-in the arm, inflicted with a razor which he grasped in his right hand. He was 60 years of age—his bride 24. The lady is the daughter of poor but respectable parents. His friends objected to the union. The Jury returned a verdict of— " Lunacy." THE KING, &c. WINDSOR, AUG. 16.—His MAJESTY left the Royal Lodge at three o'clock yesterday afternoon in his pony phaeton, ac companied by his suite only, and immediately, drove to Virginia Water. The King dined in the principal marquee, and after wards went on board the new pleasure boat, and fished upon the lake until it was nearly dark, when he returned in his phaeton to the Lodge.—This afternoon his Majesty left the Royal Lodge about the same time and in the same manner as yester day, for an airing in the Great Park. The King will visit and dine at Virginia Water again this day.—Vesterday, just before his Majesty left for Virginia Water, Prince Esterhazy, Count Lieven, and Lord and Lady Warwick, took leave of his Ma jesty, and departed from the Royal Lodge.—The Birth-day of his Royal highness the Duke of York was this day noticed by the ringing of the bells of the Parish Church and St. George's Chapel, and the usual salute was fired at one o'clock in the, Bachelors' Acre.

If e'er a cloud of peevish spleen, Our brighter hours o'ercast, Let fancy quickly shift the scene To fond endearments past : O'er ev'ry joy our breasts have felt,, Let faithful memory rove, And teach the hard'ning heart to melt At recollected love !

SPORTING. CRICKET MATCH FOR 1,000 SOVEREIGNS. The Return Match between the Hampshire and Sussex Clubs commenced on Monday in Bramshill Park, in the pre sence of a very great assemblage of visitors. Several of the players have been changed, and the play has in consequence been inferior to that in the first game. J. Broadbridge's bat ting and bowling is greatly missed by the Sussex gentlemen, Whose scoring: it will be seen has fallen short of the match in Petworth Park. The following is a statement of the first innings, which was played on Monday. The second was begun in the evening, but could not be concluded. II AM PSH IRE. I , SUSSEX. Ist INNINGS; ISt. INNINGS.

This Match was made between six watermen belonging to Greenwich, to row for prizes given by subscription of thein habitants f Greenwich and its neighbourhood. The first man was to be entitled to a new wherry valued at 231., the second was to receive in cash 51., the third 21. 10s., the fourth 21., the fifth-11. 10s., and the last 1/. The names of the watermen ap pointed were as follow : • FIRST HEAT. SECOND HEAT. C. Warner - - Pink W. Brown - - Green J. Field - - Dark Blue S. Weeks - Orange G. Petrie Yellow T. Everson - Sky Blue For the third heat the second and third men of the two former , heats rowed against each other, and the two best of those - four rowed with the victors in the first and second heat, to settle which two should be - entitled to the last grand heat. The dis tance was the whole length of Greenwich and back again, mak ing in all about two miles and a half. At about half after 11, the. Pink, Dark Blue, and Yellow, started for the first heat, and with very little trouble it was won by Yellow, who kept a-head the whole way. In the second heat Orange was equally victorious, and of the third heat, Pink and Green coming in first became entitled to be placed with Yellow and Orange for the fourth heat. They were not, however, able to advantage themselves any thing by this fresh chance, for the two latter distanced them en the whole way by some boats length, which brought the match to the final heat; and this was, perhaps, the best contest of the whole. Both boats kept pretty close to one another nearly the whole way, though it was evident that Yellow's surerior strength . was enough to enable him at any time to bear away the belle; or in this instance, the boat from his antagonist.

Ward did not appear, but he had partisans there to do anything for him had there been a challenge. The first of the list were present, and the setting-to gave satis faction. The following were the principal bouts •Mich. Gudgeon and H. Jones made the first appeal to vocife ration, but Jones led in a good round or two, when to use the ring phrase, Gudgeon becarne entangled and was bellowsed. Young Josh and Adams met each other's heads as if in coin bat, and each had best in turn. They gOt away, however, ad mirably. Adams had decidedly the best of the latter part of the combat, for such it was. Isaac Belasco discomfitted the head of a novice, and Wynnes, the Bristol youth, convinced another that it was a bad game for him to begin at, Betlman, the formidable antagonist of Barney Aaron, and West Country Dick, had Some very manly meetings.

DISSOLUTION OF THE NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC ASIOCIATION.—A meeting was held on Satur day, at the Corn Exchange, but in consequence of the absence of the Barristers on Circuit, the oratory was of a minor cast and the whole went off as tamely as could be wished by the most staunch friends to social order.

On Moncia;,Ttitiiii of June, a whaling company at rro spect Harbour, in the town of Goldsborough, discovered a whale off the harbour; they soon got within a proper distance, and fastened to. the monster of the deep, secundam artcm. The whale, not well pleased with 'the uncivil salutation, made the best of its way out to sea, propelling the boat by the force of the wharp fastened to its body. After proceeding in this un comfortable situation four or five miles, the animal became weak from loss of blood, and the company then hauled in the warp, in order to get within a proper distance to throw the lances. They inflicted repeated wounds, until the huge creature seemed entirely exhausted, and sunk to the bottom of the ocean. After waitinc , the usual time for-the body to rise, they began to haul in the wharp, but without any suspicion that the whale was alive or near them; it leaped from the water i:nd laid itself directly across the boat, as it were in the twit,lCing pi an eye. The boat's crew disentangled themselves from the unwelcome visiter, and took to the water. The whale remained across the boat about two minutes, and then slid off, tail fore most, into the ocean and aga'n sunk. The boat was left by the whale upside down, and the men, with great labour, gained her, and placed themselves on her bottom. It was with much difficulty they kept themselves in this unsafe retreat. expecting every moment to be swallowed up in the mighty deep. They remained in this situation four or five hours, when they were happily relieved by a boat which discoVered them at a die-. tance. Two of the crew were badly bruised by holdinj on to the boat, and one severely wounded by a stroke from the whale. The whale rose on the ~econd or third day. It was about 20 feet long. Although this account is not so calamttous, as might have been, yet it shows the ltazardot nature o: the business of taking whales, and we have often woad , red that more fatal accidents do not occur to those engaged in the busi ness. The boat's crew consisted of Robert C. Palmer, Daiiel Noonan, Stephen Clark, John Russell, and Stephen Clark, jun. Mr. Palmer, after remaining on the bottom of the boat for some time, attempted to swim to the shore; but after pro ceeding about a quarter of a mile, finding he could not reach the shore, he returned to the boat, and took his former position among his suffering friends. Before he left the boat, he thook hands with all his associates, expecting never again to see them. The person who relieved them was Captain Joseph Wass, of the boat Star, by whose assistance the whale was towed into Prospect Harbour.—( New York Evening Post.) CORN EXCHANGE, AUG. 17.

AFFECTING ACCIDENT.—On Friday se'nnight, Mrs. Thompson, of the Liverpool Tavern, in Greenock, aunt William Cunninghame, formerly mate of the gamer biig, were unfortunately drowned in returning in a small boat from He lensburgh; They had left Greenock; the one as a warm anti impassioned sweetheart to visit the daughter of the other, who was in the service of Mr. Nimmo, of Glasgow, then re siding with his family at Helensburgh. There -had been a quarrel between the parties previously, and Betty Thomp. son had rejected the true-hearted sailor, from some of those undefined reasons that work upon the female mind. The mother was favourable , to his suit, and ; the daughter, to avoid pressing, sought and obtained a situation in .the re spectable family above-mentioned. The occasion of the dif ference was, howeVer, but trivial. Betsy'S bosom' throbbed anew when she saw - her husband and her lover again be-, fore her in Helensburgh. The title of affection returned with redoubled force.

The meeting of the sisters divulged the aw ful truth, and gave to the fearful anxieties of both. a horrid. Certainty. The mother was found, and buried on Wednes day—the lover is yet in the bosom of the waters. The poor girls returned by the Greenock steam-boat—Betsy 'hysterical, and " would not be comforted."
