The Earl of Liverpool was expected to arrive in town last night from Widmer Castle. Mr. Secretary Canning is expected in town to-morrow from the seat of Mr. Ellis, at Seaford, Sussex. EI,OPEMENT.—A Reverend Gentleman, in the neighbour hood of Halifax, who took to himself a wife only on Saturday se'nnight, has had but a short trial of the married life ; his lady eloped from him, (whether in company or not, we cannot tell,) the Wednesday following, taking along with her, not her own maiden paraphernalia only, but also a part of the most valuable of the goods in communion. —(Leeds Mercury.) ANECDOT ES, &c. REMAIMADLE DAY.—This day is the anniver sary of Saint Sosthenes of COrinth, a disciple of Saint Paul, who suffered under Nero in the year ! 52; of Roger Mortimer, the paramour of Isa bella, Queen of Edward the Second, being hanged, 1330.; of the sea engagement between Admirals Blake and Van Tromp, near the Good win Sands, 1651 ; the death of Prince- Rupert, 1681 ; of Avelitta in 1732 5 and Oriano in 1782, both cities in Naples, being. destroyed by earth quakes. Noor.,E GIFT TO TILE SOCIETY OF MUSICIANS.— When the late Mr. Crosdill, the celebrated performer on the violoncello, was on his death-bed, he desired his son, Colonel Crosdill, to present the Royal Society of Musicians with ono thousand pounds, as a token of the respect he entertained for the Society, and desire to promote the interests of the profes sion. Mr. Crosdill was one of the most celebrated performers of the day. Mr. Crosdill was first violoncello at the King's Theatre; his Majesty also appointed him his principal violincello performer, and his presence was required at his Majesty's Concerts. Mr. Crosdill married a lady with a splen did fortune, and by her request, he declined all professional engagements, excepting the appointment of violincello peformer to the King. In the discharge of this duty, he attended in the organ loft of the Chapel Royal, when the king attended divine service in that sacred edifice. On two occasions, in June last, when the King visited the Chapel Royal, Crosdill was prevented, by indisposition, from attending ; and shortly after he died, having lived to an advanced age. Colonel Crosdill having thus handsomely fnlfilled the verbal, but not testamen tary disposition of his late lamented father, there will be no legacy duty exacted on this noble donation. THE SWAN of the RIO DI2 LA PLATA is a most elegant bird; the body is perfectly white, and the head and a portion of the neck black. It is so abundant that some traffic is carried on in its down and skin. The mode of taking this bird is as follows :—A man enters the water with three large wooden balls, two of which are fastened at one end of a thong of leather, and the third, attached to the other extremity, he holds in his hand ; quietly approaching the swan, he throws the bans with such dexterity that they twist round the neck ; and, as they are made of wood, the bird cannot escape by diving. Two companions follow to pick up the birds. MADAME CLAmoN, the celebrated French Actress, was the daughter of an illi t e rate woman, who, with blow and menaces, drove about the child, all day, to manual labour. " I know not," said Clairon, of herself, " whence I derived my disgust, but I could not bear the idea to be a mere work-woman, or to remain inactive in a corner.", In her eleventh year, being locked up in a room, as a punishment, with the windows fastened, she climbed upon a chair to look about her. A new object instantly absorbed her attention ;—in the house opposite, she observed a celebrated actress amidst her family, whose daughter was performing her dancing lesson. The girl Clairon, the future Melpomene, was struck by the influence of this graceful and affectionate scene :—" All my little being (she related) collected itself into my eyes • I lost not a single motion. As soon as the lesson had ended, ail the family applauded, and the mother embraced the daughter. That difference of her fate and mine filled me with profound grief. My tears hindered me from seeing any longer; and when my beating heart allowed me to re-ascend the chair, all had disappeared." This was a discovery ! From that moment she knew no rest : she rejoiced when she could get her mother to confine her to that room. The happy girl was a divinity to the unhappy one, whose sus ceptible genius imitated her in every gesture and motion ; and Clarion soon showed the effect of her ardent studies, for she be trayed all the graces she had taught herself, in the commonest concerns of life. She charmed her friends, and even softened her barbarous mother ; and, in -a word, she became an actress, without knowing what constituted an actress. THE ANCIENT CLOTHING Of the J EWS Consist ed of a robe or mantle, which was th e u pp er gar ment ; the tunic, which was under it, and reached from the neck to the heels ; under that, linen, in the natu re o f a s hi rt ; t h e g irdle ; a sort of drawers ; the tiara, and the sandals. THE NATIVES of ARGOS relate of the Aleyo nian Lake, that nothing swims upon its waters; and so fathom less is said to be its depth, that persons employed for the pur 'pose by the Emperor 'Sew, could not reach the bottom with lead fastened to ropes many stadia in length. EARLY RESTRAINTS UPON LADIES.—ANNE of Brittany, wife to CHARLES VIII . and Louis XII., Kings of France, was the first who introduced the fashion of l a dies ap pearing publicly at Court. This fashion was introduced much later in England, where, even down to the Revolution, women of rank never appeared in the streets without a mask. In Scot land the veil, or plaid, continued much longer in fashion, with which every wowan was covered when she went abroad. THE THEATRES. DucTRY-LANE.— The Tragedy of Brutus, written by Mr. HowAtm PAINE, and construct ed with such skill as to afford scope for good acting in the principal characters, was repre sented at this Theatre last night. Mr.WAt.t.Acs performed the part of Brutus with powerful ef fect, and without any of the trickery which marked the acting of the original representative. Mrs. BUNN gave impressive force to the character of Tullia, and Mrs. W. WEST was tender and affecting in Tarquinia. The play was altogether well received. COVENT-GARDEN.-Mr. SERLE, from the Eng lish Theatre at Brussels, last night made his first appearance in England, as announced by the Play-house bills. The character assumed by Mr. SERLE was that of Hamlet, and considering the difficulty attending the performance of this character, one of the most arduous in the whole round of the drama, his representation was very creditable to his talents. lie is of the middle size ; his face is well calculated to express me lancholy and the severer impulses of the mind ; his voice is strong in level speaking, but when raised by passion is rather a harsh scream ; his action was easy, without pretending to a graceful deportment not suggested by the tenour of the sentiment. He has apparently studied the cha racter with attention, but he is sometimes in. dined to what is styled new readings, yet, what is still more extraordinary, considering that he has apparently studied the character,. he often changed, sometimes omitted, and at other times interpolated the text.—As an instance of one of his new readings, in his first scene, after the King and his mother had entreated him to cast off his gloom, he said " I shall in all my best obey you, Madam." This insult offered to the King, before Hamlet knew of the murder, was certainly an unprovoked ' offence. We shall not pursue Mr. SERLE through the whole of his performance, satisfied with re peating that it was creditable to his talents, but it by no means indicated that master-mind which the character absolutely demands. His reception was so favourable ss to tempt the management to announce his repetition of the character on Fri day next. We ought to mention, that his general utterance was too slow, and his pauses so long, as to remind us of one of KELLY'a entertaining anecdotes, where he says, that when the late Mr. KEMBLE proposed some improvement in the re presentation of Hamlet, Mr. Sncarnasr ad vised him to have Music introduced during his pauses in the character. Old Mackura was a memorable Pause-monger. Ile had his first pause rather long, his second more so, and his third, which he styled his grand pause, so extended, that the Prompter, on one occasion, thought he " wanted the word," as it is termed, and suggested it to him so often, that MACKLIN actually quitted the stage in the middle of the scene, and knocked the poor man down fur hav i►►g interrupted him during his grand - pause.--- To return to Mr. SERLE.—We understand that this Gentleman was a student for the law, under Mr. CHITTY, hut considering law as a thorny path, and seeing nothing but cowers in that of the Theatre, he relinquished his intended profes sion, and devoted himself to the stage. The Managers are mistaken (or as [Jowl's' says, mis taking) in announcing last night as his first ap pearance on an English Stage, as he. has for softie years been known us an actor on provincial boards in this country. • ?'.lr. YOUNG is said to be in treaty with the ma nagement of Drury-lace Theatre, as is also Miss WiLsoN, who has recently arrived from Italy. KEEN arrived at New i:"Ork on the 2Stlt ult.— lie is said to be in excellent health, and was to make his first appearance at the Park theatre on the 10th inst. in Richard the Third. Every box was taken, and althou4h a row was expected, the manager (who writes) confidently expects that it will terminate favourably. It, i s s t, t t e d to be KEAN'S intention to address the audience in pro pria persona, before the rising' of the curtain. — This, it is supposed, will appease the angry ford lugs of Master Jonathan. FRENCH SLAVE TRADU.—We have received private letters from St. Thomas's, dated the Sth of October, by which we have learned many par ticulars respecting the mode in which the slave trade is continued in spite of the• laws made for the suppression of that hateful traffic. We have been furnished with a list of the vessels which were departing for the coast of Africa, and the number of slaves which they had brought to Martinique by their previous voyage. We shall not men tion here the names of the vesseli, oor those of the captains and mercantile houses - concerned in these scandalous undertakings. We shall con fine ourselves so the duty of calli ng public alien. Lion to the shameful impunity enjoyed by the dealers in human flesh. It is enough for us to state, according to our information-Ist, that the number of vessels so employed is nine, of which 6 are French, and 3 Dutch-2dly, that the Cap tains of these ships are all Frenchmen-3,11y, that 3 of them,on t heir late return from the Bonny,broug,ht with them 1,177 slaves ; and 4thly, that. each of these vessels carry two or three sets of papers. The false ones are fabricated by - a French house at St. Thomas's. It is generally from the pa pers of the cruisers of Martinique and Guada loupe that the signatures of the Governors are forged, and the official seals imitated.—((;ourier Francais.) MURDER AT SANDGATE.—An Inquest was held at Sandgate on Thursday last, the 24th instant, before THoMAS THORPE DE Last: Au, Esq. Coroner, on the body of Thomas Page, who, on the evening of the 18th instant, was stabbed in the lower part of ale abdomen by John Burton. It appeared on the evidence that the deceased, with some other young men, were, on the evening in question, at the Ship Inn, Sandgate, and being a little inebriated, the deceased blackened his hands and put them on Burton's face, who immediately flew in a rage, and threatened to be a match for him. The deccased,wishin g to avoid him for the present, left the room, but shortly afterwards re turned, and while in the act of lighting his pipe, Burton attacked him with a knife in his hand. A scuffle ensued; Page called for help to take the knife away, which was done by Mr. Flisher. Page exclaimed, " Oh, Lord 1I am stabbed ; this d—d old ! rascal has stabbed me." He immediately fell, and lingered till Wednesday last. After a very minute investigation, the Jury returned a verdict of" Wilful Murder" against John Burton," who was immediately committed, under the Coroner's warrant, for trial at the next Assizes. The deceased, who was 24 years of age, was very highly respected, and his tragical end has Whole neighbourhood.—(Cinque Port ii th : o r l a v i n d gloona over the POETRY. THE PARTING. Alone, across the pathless seas, The stately vessel glides ; With cloudless skies and favouring breeze, An ocean queen she rides. Within that ship, one gallant heart Beats sadly its adieu, And teardrops to one bright eye start, That dim its parting view. Grieve not for him ; he goes to seek Fortune and fame afar ; The glow of hope is on his cheek ; His soul is in the war ! But grieve for her who stands alone Upon the distant shore, Weeping for that departed one, Whom she shall see no more.

HORNE.---( Fru titer Particular:. )--Miss LAURA ELIZA HORNE, the child on whose account the late proceed. ings against Mrs. Horne have been carried on, was discovered by the Police on Saturday morning, the 19th instant, at the house of a Mr. John Brock, about a mile front town. The child has been concealed since the Ist of September at the house of a Mr. De Campourey, a French master, with whom Mrs. Home is acquainted. She escaped from Mrs. Horne's lodg ings at about six o'clock on the morning of the Ist of Septem ber, dressed as a boy, and, it appears, went out by the front door of the house without being perceived by the guards, she went immediately to Mr. De Campourey's house about half a mile from her mother's residence, where she remained until the evening of Friday, the 18th instant, when some dispute hav ing take place between the parties at Mr. De Campourey's residence, she was removed by Mr. Brock to his own house, concealed under a large cloak. In the mean time the Po lice got wind of the affair ; the dispute at Mr. De Cam. pourey's was so violent as to attract the whole neighbour hood round the house, Mrs. Horne having thrown open a win. dow and vociferated " murder" most lustily. Mr. John Brock, who was seen at the house, was in consequence suspected of having the child in his possession, and the next morning (Saturday) the Police found her at his house. She was imme diately, by order of the Court, given up to her father's attorney, who has since sailed with her for England. She appears to be by no means averse to returning to her father. The Court on Monday and Tuesday proceeded to examine all the parties con. cerned ; and Mr. De Campourey, Mr. John De Jersey, who was likewise at Mr. De Campourey's house on Friday evening, and Mr. John Brock, were fully committed for trial, for having I aided in the concealment of the child contrary to an order of the Court. They have been held to bail for their appearance.— (Guerntey, Nov. 23.) LIFE IN LONDON IN THE DA YS OF " TIIE MER nY MONA um," CHARLES ll.—Mr. PEPYS, who held the important post of Secretary to the Admiralty, thus records the pleasant way in which he, his lady, and his lady's maid, Mrs. Mercer, passed an evening:—" 14th. After dinner, with my wife and Mercer, to the Beare-gardeb, where I have notbeen,. I think, of many years, and saw some good sport of the bulls tossing the dogs; one into the very . boxes; but it is a very rude and nasty pleasure. We had a great many Hectors in the same box with us (and one very fine went into the pit and played his dog for a wager, which was a strange sport for a gentleman), where they drank wine, and drank 'Mercer's health first, which I pledged with my hat off. We supped at home, and very merry, and then about nine o'clock to Mrs. Mercer's gate, where the fire and boys expected us, and her son had provided abundance of serpents and rockets, and there mighty merry (my Lady Pen and Peggy going thither with us, and Nan Wright), till about twehe at night, flinging our fireworks, and burning one another and the people over the way, and at last our businesses being almost spent, we went into Mrs. Mercer's and there mighty merry, smutting one another with candle grease and soot, till most of us were like devils ; and that being done, then we broke up, and to my house; and there I made them drunk, and up stairs we went, and then fell into dancing, W.

METEOROLOGICAL PIiENOMENON.-A very ex;- traordinary circumstance took place on the 3d of this month in the forest of Calonhaven, in the arrondissement di-Thionville. A carrier, return ing from Sierck to FilstrofT, was going through the forest between six and seven in the evening ; he, had arrived within three•quarters of a league of Laumesfield, when, in the midst of a violent hurricane, mingled with thunder, the forest sod . denly appeared all on fire, and preserved that appearance for the space of a quarter of an hour. The horses became alarmed, and fell down ; one of them broke from the harness, and fled as far as the village; some of the inha bitants recognised him, and suspected some acci dent had happened to the driver. They imme diately went towards the forest; as they drew near, they, perceived an inflamed cloud travers ing the horizon from the north to the south. The most complete darkness succeeded this appear ance. The carrier, when he heard them calling, answered them ; and when they ca me u p with - him, they found him so overcome with fright, that it was only by the greatest care he recover ed to give an account of what had happened to him.—(Journal de Moselle.)

His master, a shoemaker residing opposite the Paragon, Kent Road, stated that he was well fed, had four meals per day, and he would do nothing but what he pleased ; and that the violence of his conduct could be no longer endured. The boy's mother attended and con.: firmed all the master had stated. After an admonition from Mt. Allen, who told him what such conduct was likely-to brims him to, and telling him if he came . before him stain, he would be sent to the Mill and solitary confinement, the boy, with tears in his eyes, promised a speedy amendment. A man and his wife, named Strangleinent, residing in Horse.. monger-lane, appeared before the Magistrates for the purpose of arranging a separate maintenance. The charge against the husband was, that lie was too much given to the fair sex, and that against the wife, extravagance and pledging his clothes.—.

It was then stated that Mr. Fernandez, a surgeon, was of opinion that the child was born alive, but that death might have immediately fol. lowed by convulsions, and that the wound at the back of the head, which was superficial, did not occasion the loss of life, and that it might have been caused from other circumstances. —The only fresh evidence was given by Read, the chief officer. On the 19th, when taking the accused to prison, she exclaimed, " I shall be hanged ;" to which no observation was made. On bringing her up yesterday, witness asked after her health, and if any one had been to see her ? She answered that she was ill ; that she had a sista, living in the neighbourhood of Mon mouth-street ; that she did not know the street ; and if she did, her shameful act would prevent her applying to her. she had come from Cork, with other girls, after the death of her pa. rents; had lived nine months at Walworth, before she went to Mr. Westley's. Read cautioned her to mind what she said to him, and she inquired anxiously if she should be hanged.— The prisoner was fully committed for murder, previously to which she made a demand of some money found in her box, In a tone arising from ignorance, which drew some observa tions from the Bench. The money was restored, and the wages due was paid by her master. B OW-STREET.—G co.
