THE COVENT-GARDEN'.--Mr. WARDE made his se cond appearance in the character of Brutus, in Julius Caesar, last night. The favourable recep tion which he has experienced at this Theatre has encouraged him to act with more self-possession than on his debut. We do not think, however, that it has tended to the advantage of his Brutus, which, on this occasion, was at times apparently a little too much inclined to the choleric for the even temper of the philosophic patriot. But the performance altogether was creditable to his ta lent. Mark Anthony was again ably supported by Mr. C. KEMBLE, and the irritable Cassius was well represented by Mr. COOPER, but would have been still better, if he had not in some pas sages been rather too boisterous. TARRARE.—The music of this Opera, which was so successfully represented at the English Opera House, and which, it appears, is very at tractive in private families, was not entirely the music of Tarrare, as part of it was taken froM Palmyra, another opera composed by the same musician. The score of the latter opera is in his MAJESTY'S Library, and Mr. HAwEs was gra ciously permitted to make use of it on the late occasion. Tarrare was unluckily withdrawn in the midst of its popularity, as Mr. BRAHAM, the hero of the piece, was obliged to attend his Pro vincial engagements. ANECDOTES, &c. GittGLE- 7 -It was thought an ingenious use of this word, when Mr. Sncittomsr, in The Critic, al luding to all singers, spoke of their 44 gargling glib divisions ;" but we find that the same use of it was made by WALLER, in the folloWing lines, addressed to HENRY LAwEs, the original Com poser of. Gornus : " Let those who only warble long, " And gargle in their throats a song, " Content themselves with at, rc, " Let words of sense be set by thee.", But Mr. SHERIDAN offers an apology for uncon scious plagiarism in another.of his AVorks, where he says, that " faded ideas float in the imagina tion like half-forgotten dreams, and the Poet sometimes knows not whether he is creating or adopting," POPE SIXTUS V.—SO great was the poverty of SIXTUS V. when he first arrived at Rome, that having suc ceeded in obtaining a small sum, by begging in the streets, he hastened to a eating-house. But, just as he was about to enter, he stopped, and began to deliberate within himself whether he should go in and satisfy the cravings of hunger, or spend .his scanty pittance in the purchase of a pair of shoes, of which he was greatly in want. While thus employed, he was noticed by a tradesman, who, struck with the singularity of his appear ance, inquired of him what he was about. Sixtus frankly con fessed, that he was at the moment employed in deciding a deli cate case between his feet and his stomach. It seems he had a meal and a pair of shops; forthe latter was given him upon condition he should pay for them when he was Pope, an event which, though then extremely improbable, nevertheless came to pass, when Sixtus failed not rewarding the charitable trades man. KING JAMES 11.—The following was the la conicaddress of the Quakers to King Jaines 11. upon his ac cession to the throne :—" We come," said they, " to testify our sorrow for the death of our good friend Charles, and our joy for thy being made our governor. We are told thou art not of the persuasion of the Church of England no more than we; wherefore we hope thou wilt grant us the same liberty which thou allowest thyself, which doing, we wish thee all man ner of happiness." PARLIAMENTARY SPEECIIES.—At the end of the reign of GEORGE IL, when a complaint was made by a hot-brained member of Parliament of a breach of privilege by the publication in the Magazines of some of the speeches.made in the House of Commons, though given under feigned names, Mr. PEIifIAM, the Government leader of that day, ,quashed the motion with the following observation :—" liet them alone," said he, " they make better speeches for us than we can make for ourselves." ' A STROLLING PLAYER, the Braham of the company, arriving at a country town with his wife, himself on foot and the lady on a donkey, the :Manager, on meeting them, addressing the latter, exclaimed, " So here'i Orpheus on foot, and You-rid-I-see.—(Eurydice.) PAPAL BULLS.—The following extract from the Osnabourg Gazette of the 26th of October, 1773, shows that Papal Bulls were accepted by a British Sovereign at a much later date than is generally imagined !—" The King of Eng land, as guardian to the Bishop of Osnabourg, his . son (the pre sent Duke of York), has ordered the Chapter , of the Cathedral to put in execution the Pope's Bull, which suppresses the or der of Jesuits, to employ the effects of that order in useful, foundations, and to send his Majesty an account how they have disposed of the money." . _ ; I T. lIE DEPUTIES OF ALGTERS, at ,tneir audience with Louis XIV., -;acquainted him that their Dey had taken the liberty to send him a small present, which they hoped his Majesty would not reject ; Solomon having condescended gra ciously to accept of a locust's thigh, presented to him by an ant. Sir lii Nity BRABANT having waited 'upon the celebrated Lord CLARENDON after his disgrace, his Lordship, after telling him how kindly he took this visit, expressed him self to this effect—that there were grievous things laid against him, but he could - bear up against all the rest if his Majesty would forgive him but one thing, which was, that he was the . person who had advised him to prefer his enemies arid neglect his friends ; adding, that he took that for the cause of his own ruin, and wished it might not occasion that of many others, and at last the King's too. NAVAL. CHARITABLE SOCIETY.—At the Quar terly Meeting, held on Mo►►day the 3d of this month, at the Thatched House, St.. Jai►►es's street, 65 petitions were relieved with 6351. ss. making 261 petitions to which relief has been ex tended since the 3d of January last ; and the, sum so granted by the Society to the several appli cants amounting to 2,7011. 13s. It appears by the letters received yesterday from Madrid, that the King of SPAIN has refused the contract for a loan proposed by M. TASSIN on behalf of the French bankers. The Minister ZEA BERMUDEZ, like a true courtier, has echoed the sentiments expressed by his waste!, and de clined to use his influence in support of the . pro position. The refusal is the more remarkable, since the terms offered were such as FERDINAND has been of late .quite unused to ; and it is there fore only to be accounted for on the supposition that he and his Minister had sagacity enough to perceive that the execution of the contract was out of the power of those who proposed it. HAIL. IN THE WEST INDIES . --A letter dated from St. Thomas in the West, Jamaica, August 5, has been received by a mercantile house, in which the following passage occurs :---" We have had a very wet spring, which kept the crops back. It commenced with a very singular phe nomenon, viz. a shower of ice and hail. I picked up one piece which measured an inch in diameter, and half an inch in thickness. The oldest inhabitant never remembered the like before. The poor Negroes were terribly alarmed, and some of them said it was hot like fire, and that God Almighty had sent it to punish them."

NEWMARkET, OCT. 3.—His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK arrived in his travelling carriage and four yesterday after noon, and afterwards proceeded from the Palace to Cheveley Park , which at present. is very attractive.—There are also ar rived the Dukes of Grafton and Portland, Lord G.

Accounts front Gibraltar to the 6th ult. state, that Colombian privateers continue to cruize on all the' neighbouring coasts, and are making a rich harvest; a vessel which had arrived at Gib raltar, front the Ilavannah had been plundered, and I,soo.dollars taken from the passengers. Miss F'ooTl is not engaged at the Haymarket, nor at either of the Winter Theatres, for the pre. sent season ; her time will be. fully occupied in the country until the end of January next, when she will return to London.—plorning Chronicle.) Miss FooTE received 2801. at her Benefit at Birmingham, being - the largest sum ' received in that Theatre since the time of Mi ss O'N EIL , with the solitary exception of CHAS. MATHEWS' night, which exceeded that amount. Miss Foo'rE performed during the last week at Carlisle, with very great success; and would commence her engagement, last evening, at Edinburgh. The Performers at the English Opera House, according to annual custom, recently gave a dinner to their Manager and Proprietor, Mr. ARNOLD, whom they congratulated on a most successful sea'son, which from the extreme libe rality of his various Engagements, he amply merits. MATHEWS, who was present, entertain ed o th is is co T Eß C l E om s p l a N ny A w F i a t i h c s it o . rtie ß a y dmirab le hits. Tripoli we learn, that that enterprising traveller, Mr. LAING, left that capital on the 18th July, with a large caravan destined for Timbuctoo. The time occupied in travelling the distance is about 100 days, so that by this time he is far on his Ivy ce lebrated city. It is not haiprobable that, descending the Niger from Timbuctoo, as is his object, he may meet, on the territo ries of the Sultan of SockatoO, his countryman and , fellow traveller, Major . Clapperton, ascending the river from the Bight of Benin. Both will reach the points from whenc e they commence their researches regarding the middle 'course and termination of that celebrated stream at the close of the rainy season ;- and. Major Laing, in particul ar' will reach Timbuctoo at a period of the year when, allowin g a few weeks for refreshment and repose after the fatigues under gone in the passage of the Great Desart, he will be able to start with the commencement of the dry season, to follow out the ulterior objects of his journey.—(Glasgow Courier.) POETR Y. TO HOPE. Ah ! who is she, whose form divire Irradiates the dungeon's gloom, And snatches from the yawning tomb The wretch that madly would his life resign ? Ah ! who is she, of visage bright, That drives the fiend Despair to flight And with her smiles, for ever gay, Cheers the drear night, and points to orient dad; ? Ah ! whO is she, whose cherub smile Can cheer the victim of disease ; Can every kindred pang appease, And every languid hour beguile ? Ah ! who is she, whose accents mild Can soothe the maniac's ravings wild ; Can to his frenzied grasp bestow An airy spectre to delude his woe ? Stretch'd on the bed of death and woe, In that abode where horror reigns, 'Midst anguish, groans, and clanking chains, Where sighs are heav'd, 'and tears incessant flow,— Ak ! who is she, whose magic pow'r Can cheer the convict's dreary hour,' And bid him raise his suppliant sight Where mercy sits enthron'd serenely bright ? 'Tis she !—sweet promiser of joy ! Rich in her ideal treasure; Ever painting scenes of pleasure ; What dreams of bliss her happy thoughts employ ! Fair HOPE !—before thy cheering ray Each ghaitly spectre fades away ; And all the terrors of the storm Disperse before thy radiant form. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMAKKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING, 1825.
