THE THE.A.TRES. DRURY•tiNE.—The new comic piece of Mttid or Wife, and The Coronation, were followed last night at this Theatre by Glove/mid in London, and the part of the libertine Don, in consequence of the indisposition of Madame VESTRIS, Was assigned, as we stated yesterday, to Miss BLA whose spirited representation of Macheath, at the Haymarket Theatre, promised equal success hi her performance last night. ller acting was lively, easy, and humorous. She gave the songs with great effect and received much applause. COVENT•GARDEN.—Mr. ou NG last night gave a correct and manly representation of Hamlet, which he appears to have studied with critical attention, and in which he always excites great applause. A more interesting representative of Ophelia than by Miss TREE we never witnessed ; but we think her health requires some respite till it is fully re-established. .MAIDSTONE, Nov. 20.—Our Theatre was opened on Wed nesday evening, for the benefit of the Widows and Orphans of William Cowen and William Pearce, who lost their lives at the Medway Brewery on the 3d instant. The house in every part was crowded to excess, and boasted of a greater assem hlag of rank and fashion than we ever before witnessed within those walls. So great was the demand for places, that a part of the pit was obliged-to be converted into boxes, which were ttt4 up in the best manner the shortness of time would allow, and it was truly pleasing, on this benevolent occasion, to wit ness the condesc ension o f se ver a l of the most respectable fami- • 1 P s in the neighbourhood, who occupied these seats, among whom ; we noticed Mr. - and Mrs. Wykeham Martin and family, Mr.- Baldwin and family, Mrs. Duppa and family, n„liss Milner Sir John and Lady Browne, Major and Mrs. 'est, Captain Moore, R. N., the Officers of the Cavalry Depot, Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Reeve, &c. &c. The performances were the " Poor Gentleman," and " Paul and Virginia," which were' acted exceedingly well and with much spirit, the performers exerting themselves to the utmost of their power. Allis Leigh recited an Address on the occasion, with consider able feeling and pathos, which drew forth frequent plaudits from th e au di ence . Th e rece ipt s a t the door amounted to 1.71 12s. The profits of this night added to the subscription al ready-received on behalf of the unfortunate families, we arc happy to state amount to £223 17s- 6d.—(Maidstone Jour.) THE LATE SIGNORA STDRA . LB This Lady, who was accused of avarice because she was pru dent la the management of the fortun e which she acquired in the long exercise of a precarious profes s i on , was more disposed towards acts of liberality th an th ose w ho make an ostentatious . display o f t h e r i c h es f or which they are rather muebte d to the folly of others than to any merit of their own. The same charge was brought against Mr. GARRICK, who, according to the testim on y of Dr. JOII NSO N, a man incapable of falsehood or Battery, gave away more mo n ey in he had and charity than any other pers on whom had known. Mrs. IscunaLD also, a Lady w hose name ought never to be mentioned with °at esteem, was exposed to the same imputations of undiscerning malice, but who was always ready to relieve distress, and who deprived herself of ;luny gratifications, even of an ordinary kind, in order to secure a fund for benevolence and a provision for relations. Bat to return to Signora SToaAcE,whose talents were deservedly admii•ed, and whose private worth was entitled to respect and esteem. She by a will, made many years ago. bequeathed 10001. to the ROYAL SOCIETY of MINicIANS, and an equal sum to the New MUSICAL FUND, two of the most respectable Institutions in this or any Country. The Lute rest that had accrued from the time of her death T endered the bequests somewhat more than a L clear WOOL each, even with the deductio n of tile legacy duty, and all other expences.—Mr. CoNnELL, the Treasurer of the former Institu tion, respectable for talents as a Musician, and for integrity as a man, received the first of these legacies on Monday last ; and the other, we presume, was received at the same tim e . The late KING, on some temporary em barrassment in the former Society, on account of the heavy claims on its benevolence, with his usual liberality presented to it 500/. HANDEL was the first benefactor to it, who bequeathed 10001., and Signora STORAGE, by following his liberal example to the same amount, holds forth a pattern to other friends of benevolence, and admirers of music, which we trust will not be held forth in vain, as we are assured that the ko YAL Socirry of MuslciANs allot to their claimants not less than2ooo/. a year,andThE New MUSICAL FUND is doubtless subjected to a pro portionate annual expenditure. RorAL If t;NT AND TREMENDOUS FLOOD.—Last Friday being the day appointed for his MA JESTY'S Stag Hounds to hunt, a fine deer was turned out for the day's diversion, by Salt Hill ; but just at that moment, a tremendous heavy rain began to fall, and continued without intermission flr two hours, which entirely put an end to the day's sport. The rain that fell that day caused th e greatest land flood that ever was known in the neighbourhood of Windsor and Frogmore.— The water came down with such force and vio lence from Windsor Forest to the low ground ,, , that every ditch was completely filled. The meadows were covered for miles round, and it was quite distressing to see the people driving their cattle out of the meadows to avoid their being lost, and pigs out of their sties by men on horseback. The long walk in Windsor Park was under water, also Sheet-street, and other parts of the town of 'Windsor. The Hope Inn, be tween Windsor and Frogmore, had four feet of water in the house, which drove the inhabitants into the upper floors, and the only method they had of obtaining food was from its being con veyed to them by the one pair of stairs window. The lower part of the house, near that spot, was also under water. There was no possibility of passing on foot on the road to j. , 'rogmore, and a great portion of the gardens attached to the Princess AUGUSTA'S residence was under water. Dr.WATAKErt, a Clergyman, defended the town of Londonderry when the military had fled, and thus prevented it from falling into the hands of JAMES 11. King WILLIAM was.so highly pleased with his gallantry, and felt so grateful for his ser vices, that he wished to make him a Bishop. But no, the Bishops interfered ; a man stained with blood, they said, was unfit to officiate in that sacred character. King WILLIAM, however, gave him a regiment, and he died in Flanders, fighting bravely by his side. Ile made as good a Colonel as if he had never entered the church. FASHIONABLE AURI VA LS.—The Duke of Manchester, at the Clarendon Ilotel, from his seat, Kimbolton Castle, Hunt ingdonshire ; the Duke and Duchess of St. Albans, in Saint James's-square, from their seat, Gatton, Surrey ; Lord and Lady Burghersh and family, at the Brunswick house Hotel, from the Earl of Westmorland's scat in Northamptonshire; General Powlett, in Half Moon-street, Piccadilly, from his seat in Hants; Lord William Montague, in Berkeley-square, from his father's the Duke of Manchester's seat, Kimbolton Castle ; Lord Ellenborough, at Thomas's Hotel, front his seat at Rochampton ; Robert Williams, Esq. M.P. Mrs. Williams, and family, at ditto. DEPART URES.—Couhtess Mengden and Miss Milbanke, from Marshal Thompson's Hotel ; George Macqueen, Esq. from ditto; Hon. B. Craven, on a tour. The Marquis of Londonderry left town on Monday, after the Council, for his seat, at North Cray, Kent. The Earl and Countess of Hardwicke are on a visit to the Earl and Countess Caledon, at their seat in Ireland. Lord and !Lady G. H. Cavendish and family are expected to leave town to-morrow, for their seat, Ilalker, Lancashire. When Mr. PITT, the first Earl of CHATHAM, lost his commission in the army, on account of his political behaviour, Mr. LYTTLETos (afterwards GEO►tGE Lord hyTTLEToN) composed the fol lowing lines : Long had thy virtue mark'd thee out for fame, Far, far, superior to a Cornet's name, This generous Walpole saw, and griev'd to find, So mean a post disgrace that noble mind ; • The servile standard from thy freeborn hand Ile took, and bade thee lead the Patriot band. SINGULAR ROBBERY.—The coins recently de posited by the hand of the Right Reverend the Bishop of CHESTER, within the foundation stone of the new church at Ashton-under-Line, were a few nights since very ingeniously extracted from the cavity of the stone, and a scrap of paper, containing the following lines, was found in the place of them : " This stone the curious fact revealed " That various coins were here concealed ; " And told the world in language fair, " A Bishop's hand had plac'd them there ! " To make such information known, " It must have been a clever stone ; " So clever—that it p'rhaps can say, " Who 'twas that stole the coins away." (Sheffield Paper.) CHuncit PILEIrtRMEIiT.—The Rev. thigh Jones, M.A., has been appointed to the perpetual curacy of Shrigley, near 31acclesfield, by the Lord Bishop of Chester , upon the presen tation of William Turner, of Shrigley Park, the patron of this Lying. SOHO-SQUARE was first called MONMOUTH SQUARE, or place, and the celebrated Duke of that name had his house on the South side of it ; and in the neighbourhood is Monmouth-street to this day. Upon the Duke's defeat and execu tion (Anne 1685) the square was ordered to be called King's-square, and a statue of King Charles If. set up in the middle of it. It is so called in Strype's edition of " Stowe's History of London," and King's-square, court style, keeps the name. But the partisans of the Duke of Monmouth re senting this, and willing to preserve a distant re membrance of the unfortunate Duke, called it Suho-square—that being the watch word of the battle in which the Duke was taken. The practice of marrying by a ring for the fe male, was adopted from the Romans ; the bride was modestly veiled, and after receiving the nuptial benediction, was crowned with flowers. During the year of our Commonwealth, when the Established Church lost its authority and sane- titv, it was customary for the banns of marriage to be proclaimed on three market days in New gate Market, and afterwards the parties were married at the church, and the Register states, that they were married at the place of meeting called the church.—(Sce the Register of St. An drew, Ilolborn, during those years.) To be " on one's Legs again."--A wealthy merchant, who had become bankrupt, was me some time after his misfortunes by his friend who asked him how he was going on ? " Pretty well," said he, "lamon my legs again." How ! already ?' " Yes I have been obliged to part with my coach and horses, and must now walk." CAPITAL. PUNISHMENT IN SPAlN.—[Extract of a Letter, recently written front rittoria.]—" The species of capital punishment it (the proposed penal code) recognizes is the garrote. I was curious to see death inflictesl, and I confess I had no notion that it could be caused with so much humanity. A man should witness such a spectacle, as his opinion as to the best mode of its infliction may one day or other have an in fluence. The extinction of life seemed the affair of an instant. The victim occupies a seat whiJi is attached to an upright post, an iron collar is placed round his Deck, and strangulation is pro duced by turning half round a multiplying screw, which brings the collar close to the post. I ob served no convulsion—no movement of agony. The garrote is as expeditious as the guillotine, and it sheds no blood." As some workmen were lately employed in digging a cellar on the slope .of the Church Hill; Buckingham, they discovered a part of the foun dations of the old Castle which formerly existed there, and which was built, according to the Saxcn Chronicle, by EDWARD the Elder, in the year 918. The wall itself was of very consider able thickness, and was composed of unhewn stones of the cornbrache limestone kind, which still abounds in the neighbourhood. So far back as 1670 we find that no traces of the Castle re mained, as it was then made a bowling-green of, which appears to have been much frequented by the Gentlemen of the county.--( Buckingham shire Chronicle.) Sunday morning the body of a respectable looking middle aged man was found at low water lying in the mud, at the foot of Allhallows Stairs, Upper Thames-street. He was dressed in a black coat, buff waistcoat, blue trowsers, shoes, and gaiters. His shirt was marked W. D. S. There was nothing whatever found in his pockets. An Inquest was held on Mon day night, at the Steel-yard Coffee-house, on the body. Ver dict—Found drowned. A few days ago, at the baptism of a child near Annan, who was a twin (the other having died), there met on the occasion five gossips who had all recently been delivered of twins ; and, what is equally extraordinary, two of the said gossips them selves were hems.—(Carlisle Journal.) • ..r..- ; • 4 • 1-e, I). mr• - • 1 , , , ',A 4,., .

PEDESTRIANISM. A Gentleman of the name of 31inshul has undertaken, for a bet of 100 guineas, to go on foot 50 miles a-day, I.thin 12 hours, ten successive days. lie is doing it over a fimr-mile piece of ground at Cropley, in Surrey. The undertaking was commenced on Monday morning, and the pedestrian travelled at the rate of six miles an hour, and did his ground in twenty minutes within his time, halting one hour. He is backed at to 4 to win. WRIGHT THE PEDESTRIAN. In our last week's Paper we stated that this celebrated pede strian performed his laborious task, of walking from York to' Hull and back for three successive days, a distance of 234 miles, in 72 hours, which he completed half an hour within the given time—an immense concourse had assembled to witness his entry into York; he returned very little fatigued, and in great spirits. On Thursday last a subscription purse was made up for him by several Gentlemen, &c., in York, to walk 40 miles in eight hours, having one hour allowed for refreshment, &c. Halt a mile was measured (being from the Sun Inn to the White House, out of Micklegate Bar), and a great con course of spectators assembled to see him perform this astonish ing , feat, which he accomplished with apparent ease, as below : —1 he first 10 miles in 1 hour and 54 minutes. 2d ditto 1 ditto 43 minutes. 3d ditto ' 1 ditto 50 minute. 4th ditto 1 ditto 50 minutes. being 25 minutes within the given time. He rested during his performance for refreshment, &c. one hour and 13 minutes.— The last mile was done in 10 minutes, 17 seconds. The Duke of York's Fremont, and another by Haphazard, were sold on Saturday last, through the medium of Messrs. Tattersall, to the Directors of the East India Company, at high prices, to send to India. A Goon SisoT.—A few days ago a Gentleman near Tet bury, in Gloucestershire, killed three wild geese flying, at one shot ; they were of the light grey kind, and weighed nearly Gibs. each. THE NEW TURNPIKE ROAD FROM MACCLES FIELD TO BUXTON.—'Phis important undertaking has been commenced with the utmost activity under the superintendance of Mr. Pearson, one o Mr. M'Adam's surveyors.—Upwards of 100 met have been at work during the last week, in cut ting and forming the new line from the first mile stone from Milcclesfield, in the direction of the one House and Walkers Barn ; the Buxton end will also be commenced without delay. We un derstand the report of the surveyor is highly fa vourable both as to the foundation and the facility of procuring good materials; and it is calculated that the road will be completed and made fit for travelling early in next summer.—(Chester Cou rant, Nov. 20.) A MEETING of the CONTRACTORS who horse the LONDON and LEEDS MAIL has been held at Melton Mowbray, when the uew plan of running the coach with accelerated speed was submitted to their consideration. Its adoption will take -place during the current month, sub ject to seven days previous notice to the respec tive Contractors. We understand no time will be allotted for the passengers dining till it reaches this town from London, which will be soon after five o'clock,e.m., when 25 minutes will be allowed previous to its departure for Leeds. The Liver pool and Manchester, also the Bristol • and Bir mingham mails, will reach Sheffield about lire o'clock, p.m., or in sufficient time to allow their bags to be taken forward towards the north by the Leeds mail. The Doncaster has commenced leaving at half-past twelve o'clock, P. m., there by allowing a delivery of letters sent from this place to York, the same evening. It is in contemplation that the Manchester mail shall be dispatched at six o'clock in the morning, to faci litate the arrival of letters by five o'clock in the evening at Liverpool.—(Shclield Independent.) SMUGGLING.—A further examination of ROLFE, who was implicated in the smuggling transaction at Standgate, on Saturday se'nnight, took place on Thursday, before WILLIAM DEEDES, Esq., when he was fully committed for trial to Maid stone Gaol, charged, on his own confession, with being concerned in that affair. On Fri day morning he was removed from Blythe in a post chaise ; apprehensions being entertained that a rescue would be attempted on the road, he was guarded by an escort of the 9th Lancers as far as Lenham, were they where relieved by a party of troops from the Cavalry Depot, Maid stone, who brought him to the County Gaol, where he was safely lodged about one o'clock.— (Maidstone Journal, N0v.20.) Miss MACAU LEY made her appearance on Mon day night at the Surrey Theatre, in the charac ter of Elvira, in the play of Pizarro, which has been turned into a melo-drame. Her performance of the part was crowned with the greatest success. EXECUTION OF EIGHT MEN. This morning was ushered in by the melancholy spectacle of the execution of eight men at News gate; viz. George Smith, and John Cabelin, for highway robbery ; Garton, for burglary ; frideding, for sheep stealing ; John Thomas TopleN, Edmund Sparrow, and Josiah Cadman, for passing forged five potind notes of the Bank of England. This last named person had moved in a sphere of life w here he was much respected for his talentS and respectability ; he was the author of some dramatic pieces which were played with some success at Sadlers' Wells Theatre, and up to the time of PaSSing the note, for which he was found guilty and suffered, he bore a most excellent character ; considerable exertion was made by several merchants and other gentlemen, and even by the Worthy Sheriffs, Messrs. VENABLES and GARBATT, up to a late hour last night, to endeavour to save him, Without avail. Ever since his con demnation he had expressed the strongest hopes that his wife; 'rho was a participator •in passing the notes; Would be saved ; his hopes were realized, and he publicly, in the Chapel, previous to the delivery of the condemned sermon, on Sunday last, returned thanks for that mercy. lie had an affecting inte'r'view with his wife on Sunday, and took his final earthly fare well of her yesterday evening. Their feelings can be better conceived than described ; her shrieks were heard throughout the prison; and she was taken away by the turnkeys in strong convulsions. During this horrid scene he stood leaning against the table, in his room, imploring i the protection of heaven for his widow ; at length his feelings overpowered him, and he fell to the ground insensible ; he was soon re covered, and joined his unfortunate fellow suf ferers, who- bad also underwent the dreadful parting of their friends, and prayed with them for some time. - During the night the unfortu nate men slept soundly. Cabelin, being a Jew, was attended by some of his own persuasion, and presented rather a curious appearance, having suffered his heard to grow to a great length, according to the custom of the Jews. At a few minutes after seven the unfortunate culprits were conducted from the Chapel to the Press-yard, where they had their irons struck off, and were pinioned. After prayers were read, they were conducted through the passages of the prison to the debtors' door, where, after a few mi nutes spent in reading the service for the dead, they were severally placed on the drop, where the poor wretches were kept a considerable period, i❑ consequence of the number the execu tioner had to tie up. A few minutes after eight, the necessary preparations being adjusted, the drop fell, and they all appeared (with the ex ception of Cabelin, who being a Jew his friends would not allow any person to touch his body, therefore his sufferings were prolonged) to die without a struggle. After hanging the usual time, their bodies were cut down and delivered to their friends for interment. The crowd assembled was immense. IFURTIrEg PAUTICULARS.I—A short time after seven the Sheriffs aimed at the gaol, and having proceeded to the Press-room, Cabelin was in fervent prayer with several friends and a Jewish priest, he having been divested of his irons.— Cadman was next introduced, and displayed great firmness and propriety of conduct. On this business being conclude , !, he faintly ejaculated, " My burthen is gone!" During the time of his being pinioned, he addressed the Sheriffs with great ear nestness; he said that he trusted the lives that were then about to be forfeited would satisfy the Bank, and that the life of the youth ordered for execution on Tuesday next might be spared, and the present lives that were sacrificed would be deemed suf ficient expiation. Topley, Sparrow, and Ellis, followed in un dergoing the awful ceremony. The other unfortunate men also prepared for the execution ; the mournful procession then moved towards the fatal platform, Cadman being the first that was placed thereon, when there was some little shew of disappro bation. Cadman then reiterated the former expressions he had uttered in the Press-room ; the others were placed on the drop in succession, and all behaved with great firmness except Ellis, who appeared dreadfully agitated.—Cadman flattered himself, up to an early hour this morning, that he would be reprieved. The scheme of converting the prison at Dart moor into an asylum for the London pauper chil dren, is, we are told, aboidoned.—(Exeter Ga zette.) • FlItE.-At six o'clock on Monday evening a fire broke out in the manufactory of Mr. Cot,- YIN, ink-maker, King-street, Clerkenwell, which caused great apprehensions in the neighbourhood, f r om its vicinity to some' saw-mills and a timber yard, in which was deposited an immense stock of wood. Several engines were on the spot in a short time, and being well worked and supplied with water, confined the flames to the premises where it began, which Were, in spite of the exer tions of the firemen, reduced to ruins in a short time. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—Monday night, a melancholy accident occurred at the house of Mr. Float, of No. 14, John street, St. George's in the East :—Mrs. Float, a feeble old lady, near eighty years of age, sitting by herself in the first: floor, her clothes caught fire, and before assistance could reach her she was so dreadfully burnt that she expired in a few hours. HYDROPHOBIA:A valuable horse belonging to Mr. C. Styring, of this place, was bitten v a few weeks ago, by a dog ascertained to have been mad. On Monday last strong symptoms of the disease became apparent, and on the follow ing morning it was found expedient to shoot him, and put an end to his sufferings. The poor animal was in dreadful agony, and bit at every thing around him. Several Medical Gentlemen, we understand, attended to witness the symp toms and mark the progress of this dreadful dis order.--(Shdield independent.) A countryman and his wife, near Perth, who were in the habit of dipping the eggs intended for market in a solution of vitriol, to, whiten them, and give them a fresh appearairet; had a dispute a few days since, when the husband attempted to throw the bottle of vitriol at his wife. She inter cepted it with her hands, by which the bottle was broken, and the contents thrown back in the face of the husband, who has been blind ever since, and will never, in all probability, recover the use of his eyes.

It is impossible to speak in too strong terms of the meritorious conduct of the Deal boatmen on this occitsion.—(lientish Gazette, Nov. 20.)

BURGLARIES AND RonacatEs.—Between five and six o'clock on Sunday evening the house of Robert Bristow, Esq. 5, St. Andrew's-court, Holborn, was entered by thieves'with false keys. The family were out of town, and the hou s e was left in the care of the cook, a trusty servant, who, on the evening of the robbery, was invited out to tea to a friend's, and imprudently left the house. The villains broke open all the beaufets, drawers, &c. in the house, which they ransacked of all the valuable family plate and other pro perty, and decamped before the return of tl, servant. Al dark lanthorn and a skeleton key were left behind by the robbers. Four or five suspicious characters were seen lurking about the house at the time of the robbery.—The same evening, during the temporary absence of the family, the h►:use of Mr. W.
