It has been revived with new scenery of a beautiful and picturesque description. 'l'll, chief attraction of the piece, however, was Miss KELLY, in the part of Mary, a part particularly calculated to draw forth those pathetic powers in which she has no rival. Her influence over the feelings of the audience, in all the more affecting scenes, was irresistible, and the audience paid an ample tribute of sympathy and applause.— MOVILLIAsts, who first appeared at this Theatre as Old Dornton, on this occasion assumed the part of Ilarrop, and acted with good sense, and obvious tokens of being a very useful acqui sition. ANECDOTES, &c. REMARKABLE DA T.-This day is remarkable as the anniversary of Lima, in Peru, being shat tered by an earthquake, 1687; of Saint George's Hospital being instituted, 1733; of the roof of the church at Fearn, in Scotland, falling and killing sixty persons; of it being determined by the Court of King's Bench, that the City of Lon don had not an exclusive right to grant licences in Southwark, but only a concurrent jurisdiction, 1703; and of Holland being erected into a king dom under Louis Buonaparte, 1805. JAMES I. used to say, that as long as lie had the making of judges and bishops, that should be both law and gospel which best pleased him. A BEAUTIFUL . %VOMAIT said to a General Of ficer, " How is it that having obtained so much glory, you should still seek for more ?"—" Ah ! Madam," he replied, " how is it that you, who have so much beauty, should still put on rouge?" CIIAItLEMAGNE.—The winter of 776 proved universally severe in Friuli, the then residence of Charlemagne. To keep out the cold, the Emperor wore a thick cloak of sheep skin ; his Courtiers, on the contrary, wore splendid dresses made of rich stuffs and ornamented with valuable furs. Charle magne wishing to convince them that these dresses were ridicu lous in such a season, informed them on a certain festival, just after they came from church, that he was going out hunting; they were all Compelled to attend him, but inwardly regretted not having received earlier notice of his intention ; they were decked out in all their finery, and the weather appeared threat ening ; the sport proved good, and the Courtiers were compell ed to follow Charles, who purposely led them into the thickest parts of the wood. To complete their misery, a heavy and cold rain came on; the thick garment of the Monarch was proof against such weather, whilst the fine cloths of his Courtiers suffered as much damage from the rain as from the brambles. When they returned to the palace, Charles made them draw near a large fire, the heat of which completed the destruction of their finery. When the relentless Monarch dismissed them, he ordered them to attend, him the next day clad in the same dresses. The ridiculous figure they cut may be readily ima gined. Charlemagne at first rallied them upon the effects of the late hunt, then seriously represented to them how unwise It was on their part to spend a large sum of money in the pur chase of garments unfit to bear the least bad weather, whilst his own, which was still good and wearable, had not cost him so much as a crown. SELF-DEVOTION' AND TREACHERY.---The follow ing anecdote is related by Captain Kroft; who served in Spain, in a regiment of infantry of the guard of Jerome, the ex-King of Westphalia. Fatigued and exhausted by forced marches, the regiment to which Captain Kroff belonged arrived before the monastery of Figueras, in Spain. The Colonel of the regiment, a Frenchman, sent in an officer to demand of the Prior the neces sary refreshments for the men, as well as for the staff, consisting of about twenty officers. The Prior, with some of the Monks, came out to meet the General, assuring him that the inhabi tants of Figueras would provide for the soldiers, bnt that he himself would prepare a frugal meal for the staff. The Prior's offer was accepted ; Captain Kroff received some commissions for the regiment, and about an hour afterwards it was announced to the Prior that the dinner was served up in the refectory of the Monastery. The General, who was aware that the French in Spain had reason to he on their guard in eating and drinking what was offered by the natives, invited the Prior to dine with them ; he and two other Monks accepted the invitation in such a manner as to leave no doubt that he .felt himself much flat tered by it. After the officers had taken their seats, the Prior said grace, carved, ate of every dish first, and with his two brethren, who poured out the wine, drank plentifully with his guests. It was not till towards the end of the repast that Cap min Kroff returned, having been detained by the commission of the General longer than he expected. During that interval he had found an opportunity to take some refreshment, and only participated in the conversation of the company, hosts as well as guests, at the Monastery. The General, in particular, expressed his satisfaction to the Prior, whose kind reception had surpassed all expectation. Suddenly, however, the cheerfulness of the Prior was changed into profound seriousness; he rose from his seat, thanked the company for the honour they had clone him, and concluded with asking if any of them had any affairs to settle in this world ? adding with emphasis, " This, gentlemen, is the last meal you and I shall take on earth ; in an hour we shall all be before the judgment seat of God !" Cold trembling horror seized the amazed guests; for the Prior and his two Monks had poisoned the wine in which they had pledged the French officers ; all the antidotes given by the French phy sicians were in vain ; in less than an hour every man of them had ceased to live. There are few examples of self-devotion more striking than the above ; but although to die for our country is noble, we cannot help turning with horror from that mistaken notion which disgraces patriotism and is unworthy true courage, which, as in the present case, sacrifices the laws of hospitality to treachery, and returns murder for confidence.— ( Comp.) AFFECTION OF DOGS.—PoFE, in a letter to Ificwity CROMWELL, in the year 1709, relates many instances of the affection of his favourite dog, and adds—" I will only say, for the honour of dogs, that the two most ancient and estimable books (sacred and profane) extant, viz. the Scripture and Homer, have a particular regard to these ani ma l s . Th at of Tobit is the more remarkable, because there was no manner of reason to take notice of the dog, besides the great humanity of the author ; and Homer's account of Ulysses's dog Argus is the most pathetic imaginable. Plutarch describes the howl ing of the dogs who wen: left behind when the Athenians, in the time of Themistocles ' were obliged to abandon Ath ens , and mentions one that followed his master across the sea to Salamis, where he died, and was honoured with a tomb. Sir William Trumbull has told me a story which he had from one that was present, when our King Charles 1., being with some of his Court during his troubles, and a discourse arising what sort of dogs deserved pre-eminence, and it being on all hands agreed to belong either to a spaniel or a greyhound, the King gave his opinion for the greyhound, because (said he) it has all the good nature of the other, without the fawning. A fine piece of satire upon his courtiers." THE WESTMINSTER SESSIONS commenced this morning before FRANCIS CONST, Esq. the Chair man, and a full Bench of Magistrates. The Court was crowded to excess, as the case of Muirhead was expected to be alluded to, but this expectation was groundless, as the first day of the Sessions is always occupied with nuisance presentments, Court Leets, &c. The subject most likely will be mentioned in the Learned Chairman's charge te-morrow. Never were there more i fires, say s th e Bri tish Oracle of the 11 th inst. in our provinces than there have been of late. On the 7th inst. there was an alarming conflagration at Obbich, in the province of Limburg, which totally de stroyed the Church, the l'resbitery, and thirty four dwelling-houses. Only eight buildings escaped the ravages of the devouring element.— Thank God, no lives were lost on the melan choly occasion. • "4: -,-) :7: e' t.;;‘,"•;-1- :iv) ) (-•'' --,4,..,' ~':l5-,9,441.

IF.--Yesterday, in consequence of the un favourable state of the weather, his iIIAJEs• I' did not take his usual exercise, but confined himself nearly the whole of the day with public business. In the afternoon his Majesty gave audience to Prince Esterhazy and Count Lieven ; at half-past seven o'clock a sumptuous dinner was served up in the principal dining-room, when his Majesty honoured the company with his presence. Her Royal Highness Princess Augusta, and Lady Mary Taylor, joined the Royal party to dinner, as did also Lord and Lady 11laryborough• This forenoon his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland left the Royal Lodge for town, as did also Prince Esterhazy, Duke of - Dorset, and Count and Countess Lieven. It is expected that his Majesty will go to town on Friday, in order to hold a Council, and receive the Re. corder's report. During the late warm weather, his Majesty's drives were chiefly directed to the rural and shady avenues of Virginia Water, where, no doubt, his Majesty would have en joyed his favourite aquatic excursions, had not the royal mar quees been struck, and sent back. to the Tower, and the boats all housed, so that his Majesty has not been on the water for the last three weeks.—His Majesty not only directs his atten tion to the adornment and improvement of the Castle, but also to the embellishment of the waste and low swampy parts of the Great Park. On the former, by his orders, are erecting se veral inclosed plantations of great extent, and on the latter numerous drains arched over, all in their different districts leading to one grand sewer, which will in future prevent any lodgment of water on the surface of these districts, and will be of great utility to the Park, as well as the preservation of the numerous herds of deer.—His Royal Highness the Duke of ! Cumberland will return to the Royal Lodge on Saturday. DEPARTURES FROM TOWN, &c. From Marshal Thompson's Hotel, Cavendish-square--Prince Swartzenburgh ; Colonel Pocklington, Mrs. Pocklington, R.

The Duke of Cumberland arrived at his apartments in the King's Palace, St. James's, about half-past six o'clock yester day evening, in his travelling carriage and four, from the Royal Lodge, Windsor Park, where his Royal Highness has been staying for some days on a visit to the King. The Jockey Club Dinner, at Newmarket, on Monday, was attended by—The Duke of Portland, Earl Stradbrooke, Earl Verulam, Lord Kensington, Lord John Fitzroy, Sir John Shel ley, Sir John Byng, Colonel Synge, Mr. Cotton, Mr. Payne, Mr. Rush, Mr. Keating, Mr. Duncombe, and several other distinguished Members of the Club. MARRIAGE IN HIGII LlFE.—Married, on the 17th of' Oct. at Shiplake, by the Rey. Arthur Howman, the Honourable and Reverend Frederick Bertie (brother to the Earl of Abingdon), to Georgina Anne Emily Kerr, second daughter to Rear-Admi ral Lord Mark Kerr. The brides'-maids were her two sisters the Miss Kerrs, Lady Charlotte Beetle, and Miss Adlerley.— After the ceremony the bride and bridegroom set off for Albury, the rest of the company partook of a dinner given at Ilolmwood by Rear-Admiral Lord and Lady Mark Kerr. LORD COCIIRANE.—A few days ago, this distinguished Nobleman, accompanied by his Lady, arrived at the Crown Hotel, Irvine, in a travelling carriage and four. They only stayed to change horses, during which time a crowd collected round the carriage, all anxious to get a sight of his Lordship. When he set off, the crowd gave him a hearty cheer, which his Lordship acknowledged by repeatedly bowing. The party proceeded to Dundonald, where his Lordship visited the old castle, once the princely, residence of his ancestors, and from which his father takes his title. Ho seemed to feel great inte rest in examining. the ruins of the castle, and expressed hiS in tention, at an early period, of taking up his abode amongst us. When the party returned from the Castle-hill, the whole inha bitants of the village had assembled, and cheered them as they departed. They then proceeded on their way to Hamilton palace, where they were to remain that night.—( Ayr Courier.) WILLIAM MA CGILLIVRAY, ESQ.—Died, On Sunday last, the 16th inst . ., at St. John's Wood, near London, after a long and tedious illness, in the sixty-first year of his age, Wur.i.ut M Ac- GILLIVRAY, Esq., of } s eine-au-Ghael, in the Isle of Mull, and lately of the City of Montreal, in Lower Canada. Mr. MAcGir.ravitAy was for S eve ra 1 years a Member of his Majesty's Execu tive Council for that Province, and, from his ac curate and extensive knowledge of the whole of the Northern American Colonies, and of the In dian tribes, he was eminently qualified for that distinguished situation. He had previously been a Member of the House of Assembly and the Le gislative Council, and, as the head and resident partner at Montreal of the North-West Company, he was universally known for the hospitality of his house, which was open to travellers and strangers of all nations, whose respect and esteem he never failed to conciliate by his unassuming manners and amiabie disposition, which endeared him to a numerous circle of acquaintance, by whom his loss will be long and deeply felt. PERPETUAL CURACY OF LANE END.-011 Sun dry the Rev. T. Brooke preached an exceedingly affecting fare well sermon to a large congregation at Lane End Ch ur ch. —The Rev eren d G en tl e man has obtained the living of \Vistas ton, in the county of Chester, and carriea with hi m t h e b est, affections of th e fl oc k w hi c h heis leaving. Thursday was the day a pp o i nte d f or t h e e l ec tion of his successor, and a considerable degree of interest was excited on the occasion. The candidates were the Reverend B. Vale of Stoke; the Reverend Thomas 'larding, son of S. Harding, Esq. of Wil loughbridge; and the Reverend J. Cawood, of Bewdley.— The appointment for the perpetual curacy is vested in fifteen trustees . but it appears that there were several doubtful votes tendered and objected to, and after much confusion, two nominations were signed by two sets of trustees, (each con tending for having a majority of good votes)—the one for Mr. Cawood, the other fo r M r . H ar di ng . The consequ ence i s, that neither of them c a n b e li cense d b y t h e Bishop until a leg a l deci sion has been obtained upon the validity of the disput e d votes , in order that it may b e seen i n w hi c h nomination the majority will ultimately be found. —( Stafford Advertiser.) Saturday morning, as ______: Aldridge, a rigger, n the employ of Mr. State, of Poplar, was at work on b oar d a ship at Blackwall, he fell overboard. The grapplings were instantly procured, and at the first throw caught him by the legs, anti pu;led him into a boat; when all the means pre scribed by the Humane Society were resorted to, but the vital spark had fled. A Waterm an b e l ong ing to Blackw a ll was passing the moment he fell, and was called to assist in endea vouring to save him, when he answered, "Be d ---d if h e Would stop for them ! who would pay him for his loss of time ?" and then rowed off. An Inquest sat upon the body, and re turned a verdict—" Accidental Death.' P 0 E 'l' li. Y. THE PLEASURES OF TRAVELLING. ♦ DIISTIASIVE TO INVALIDS. Ye stay-at-home Ladies, whose laughing eyes glisten At a Traveller's tales, to a Traveller listen ; I will tell you the pleasures that may be expected, To gladden your hearts in the tour you projected. You'll be tax'd well at Dover, And sick half seas over ; And bother'd at Calais, For tho' in a palace Of an inn at , you will get little ease, Disgusted with dirt, and tormented with fleas. Postillions will vex you, And the language perplex you, And you'll cry out--" flow far is From London this Paris ?" And then of the streets and the smells you'll complain, An the water, and wish yourselves safe back again : But on you must go, 'Tis the fashion you know : Though but half alive, You forward must drive To Switzerland's mountains, and if you have breath, You must climb up their crags till you're tir'd to death. And then on to Italy, • Where you'll be cheated prettily, And with beggars be pestcr'd, And have your skin fester'd With moschitos ; and what too is not to be wonder'd At,—near Terracina you'll be stopt and plunder'd ; There'll be screamings and faintings, You'll be ennuied with paintings ; You'll be flea-bitten, bug-bitten, sick of mal aria, In short you will envy the life of a Paria. So pray stay at home, And let others roam, Who come home the thinner For many a bad dinner. Do you, with the blessings of home well contented, Laugh at others' adventures or true or invented. CURIOUS CASE. NEW BAILEY, MANCHESTER, Ocr. 18. (Before J. F. FOSTER, R. FIE LDEN, and J. II IBBE7tT, Esqrs.) GAME IXFORMATION.—A very decent looking man, named Thorpe, was summoned to spew cause why he should not be convicted of a felony, under the following very serious and aggravated circumstances !! On the 3d October the defendant saw a hare struggling in a pool of water to gain a landing, when, under an impulse of humanity, he saved poor puss from a watery grave, and, " re joicing in his prize," ran to glad the heart of his neighbour, by making him the novel present of a live hare. The circumstance getting to the ears of Mr. Jonathan Andrew, who is an exten sive landowner in that part of the country, that gentleman, as it would appear from the evidence of the witness on this occa sion, was very angry at the idea of his tenants shewing their lively hares, and directed the present proceeding. Mr. MILNE asked the witness what he did with the hare ? " IVhy," said he, " I turned it out again."—Mr. FIELDEX. But you received it ? Yes," replied the witness.—Did 'he tell you where he got it ? No. M. MILNE.—Why really this is a very curious business ; I think you ought to pay the man's expences.—Mr. FIELDEX.- §0 far from the man's destroying the game, it appears that he preserved it.—(Much laughter.)—We need scarcely say, that the case was dismissed.—( Manchester Journal. ) TuRrE R 20,000 drawn Yesterday, Ara, sold by 131stt!!!—Bisn's good fortune still prevails.

An importation into the United States from Africa has recently taken place, of a number of the broad tailed breed of sheep, procured from the interior of Africa, at considerable expence and trouble, by Captain Creighton, of the United States ship Cyane. This species is said to be extremely valuable, not only for the wool, but the flesh ; and the tail in particular, which is eight or ten inches in breadth, is esteemed a great delicacy. This is the first attempt to introduce .the breed into North America. The Roman Catholic religion still maintains its ground in that land of religious toleration, the United States. The Boston papers inform us, that a bull from the Pope had arrived for the appointment of the " very reverend" Benedict Fenwick, of Maryland, to be Roman Catholic Bishop of Boston, in the room of Dr. Taylor. His consecration was to take place at Baltimore on the Ist of November, after which he was to proceed to Boston, to take upon him the duties of his office. It appears by the Washington papers, that the eccentric visionary, Captain SYmmEs, who stated some years ago the theory, and offered to prove it practically, that the in terior of the globe is inhabited, had set out on a visit to the Eastern States, with the view of propagating his opinions, and also of beating up for recruits for an exploring party to the northern cavity. He was accompanied by an " assistant" lec turer. A recent letter from Vienna states, there is a very general opinion at present in that capital, that towards the latter part of the current month (October) an unanimous decision will be come to by Russia, France and England, in concur rence with the Austrian Court, as regards the affairs of Greece. Orders were last week received at Stockton to ship a cargo of coals for Holland. This is the commencement of an export trade in coals f rom the River Tees. Accounts from Stockholm state, that the Swe dish Government had resolved to send a Suedo- Norwegian Agent or Consul to St. Domingo, and had requested the College of Commerce to se proper person lect a ... to fill that office. In the town of Madbury, New Hampshire, resides a man, named ISRAEL TIBBETS, whose hulk far exceeds that of the famed DANIEL LAMBERT. His weight was 435 pounds. Ile is about six feet, and was not at. all corpulent when young. Miss FooTE closed her engagement at Edin butgh on Saturday night, to a very full house. During the twelve nights of her performance at Edinburgh, the Theatre was well attended, and she was much applauded. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

It appears the John, of 143 tons, James Rich (of Ply mouth) master, in ballast, from London to Newcastle, strttek upon the above sand about one o'clock yesterday morning.— There were on hoard at the time, the master, his wife and two children, and seven men forming th e crew . Th e w i n d bl ow i ng strong when she struck, with a heavy sea, made it impossible to get her off; the master, therefore, burnt blue liglos during the night, and made other signals for assistance. About six o'clock, the vessel then breaking to pieces fast, five of the crew took to the long boat (the jolly boat being previously stove in), but from there being so much sea, they found it irnpossibl! to near the vessel again, they were therefore compelled to leave the master, his wife and two children, and two of the crew, to their fate on the wreck, with death apparent ly staring them in the face, without the least prospect of escape. The master's wife, with a child in her arms, about a year and nine months old, were shortly after washed overboard and drowned. Fortunately, shout ten o'clock, a coble came to their assistance, and succeeded in r escu i ng t h em f rom t h e destruction that awaited them, as they could not have survived half an hour longer. The men in the long boat reached the shore in safety. The distressed situation of the master and crew was no sooner known than relieved, as 111 r. %Vni. Cham bers, of this town, immediately took their case in hand, and succeeded in raising a sum of money sufficient to keep them above want for the present, and enable them to reach home.— ( Essex Herald.)

HOP INTELLIGENCE. CANTERBURY, OCT. 17.—There was more life in the hop trade on Saturday, than has appeared at any preceding market this season.

CONJUGAL ATTA Cll3l ENT.-A rornarkablo f - neral took place in the cemetery of St. John's Church, at Bred - flock, on Thursday last :—Ann, the wife of Richard Blair, EFq. aged 34, died in March last, near Halifax, in Nova 6cotia, where she was then buried, Her husband had the body ex hunted, and arrived with it at Brecknock, the place 'of the de ceased's nativity, on the eve of the second funeral. The rea son assigned for this extraordinary transaction, is the fulfil. ment et a promise made by Mr. Blair, to his wife in her ill. ness, to bury her at Brecknock. We understand Mr. Blair is a native of Dudley or its neighbourhood. The singul. the occurrence attracted a most numerous assemblage of pet sons to witnes the solemn ceremony, and all seemed deeply MK cud by the scene. SINGULAR PRESERVATION.—On Sunday night week, after the flood tide, loud cries for help were heard from a man who had got einbayed betwixt the channels of Eden and Esk, between Tordock point and the llollen Bush ; and as no assistance could at that time be possibly afforded him, he wa s set down for lost; but this idea happily turned out to be reck oning without the host. The man, who was an Irish whisky smuggler, was found about day-light next morning not only alive, but hearty, by a respectable young man (Lowther I ir- Tell), one of the farmers of the Rocklitf fishery, betwixt the wa ters, who took Pat to his ( BirrelPs) residence, at Lee-hous where he was treated with kindness and hospitality, and s;ays. the tbllowing extraordinary account of his providential escape, and his own proceedings:—" Having fortunately got upon the very height of the bank between the rivers, he kept himself, though ignorant of this circumstance, in the same line until the tide began to ebb ; an a as he immediately perceived when this change took place, he adopted the prudent resolutien of not moving from the spot he stood on, which he did without difficulty, from the lownes of the tide, and the consequent absence of any kind of stream so far from either channel. As the water never rose above his groin, the wank was soon dry, upon which he took so much of the crature out of his bladders that he lost every sense of fear, and laid down quietly on the sand to indulge himself with a nap till morni ng ." It is some what pleasing to add, that Pat acknowledged the hand of Pro vidence in his wonderful deliverance, by kneeling down and singing a psalm with great solemnity—although he impru dently afterwards entertained his kind host with an Irish ballad. —(Scotch Paper.) A very AWFUL CIRCUMSTANCE occurred at Frodsham Bridge on the evening of Friday last, which has ex. cited a most indignant spirit against one or two persons sup posed to be implicated is the atrocious act from which it arose. Mrs. Waite, a widow lady, had occasion to send her servant on an errand about half-past seven o'clock in the evening,and the girl, when going across a wooden bridge, thrown over a rapid stream of water that supplies the large corn mills, was precipi tated into the water, owing to some persons having some short time before maliciously taken up several of the boards in the middle of the bridge, to the extent of about six feet. Miss E. Waite, daughter f the above widow lady, finding the servant stopping longer than she thought was necessary, went in search of her, and she too, unfortunately,. no sooner arrived at the trap in the bridge, than she fell into the water, which was about five or six feet deep. Her shrieks brought out her sister, who, running to the place whence the noise pro ceeded, was herself precipitated into the same aperture, but fortunately escaped falling into the water by alighting en a beam, part of the frame of the bridge. In a moment all the neighbourhood was in alarm, and assistance was rendered in time to save the two sisters ; but not the poor girl who bad first fallen in ; nor was it known until the other two were cut 'hat she had fallen a victim. Miss Waite, as soon as she bad re covered from her fright, said that the poor girl must be in the water. The girl's mother was one who heard the distressing intelligence amongst the surrounding neighbours. Nets 2 grapples, &c. were procured immediately, but it was not until eleven o'clock that thebody was found.—(Chertge Paper..) . A burglary was committed on Sunday evening at Manor Cottage (Mrti. Stracy's) Wingfield, Berks, aid a quantity of plate, linen, dt.c. was stolen. The thieves e ff e c t e d an entrance by the bac k garden, when only Holmes, a female servant, was in the house. The depredators, three in number, locked Holmes in the cellar before they commenced their plun der, and they were traced through Hatchet-lane won after the robbery. I
