MISCELLANEO US. THE ENGLIS H OPERA HOUSE.—We regret to s ay that this Theatre closed for the season last ni ght ' • with the Op era o f T he Devil ' s Bridge, and the R omance of Th e V amp i re. Th e pu b l i c h as re ason to join in our regret, as the Proprietor had collected a very able company, both comic and musical, and brought forward numerous dra matic novelties of an interesting and humorous description. No Theatre was ever conducted , • With m ore regularity and decorum. A respect , able Morning P aper ob j ects to the title of Eng lish Opera House. W e on the contrary approv e of it, as constituting a proper distinction between the dramatic and musical compositions of British talents and those of the Italian Stage. But there is a peculiar p ropriety in the designation of this agreeable and well ordered Theatre, as it was instituted for the pur of giving - meat to native compose p r ose s, and as the Founder i e s the son of Dr. ARNOLD, a musician, distinguished for true genius, pure taste, and profound profes sional knowledge. His works are all character ized by those qualities, and essentially contri- bated , at a form er per i o d , to t h e prosperity of tbe -.1-Taymarket Theatre, and will always re main among its standard entertainments. Mr. EARTLEY, who has conducted himself with uni formpropriety, judgment, and , firmness, as the also Stage Manager, ably supportin g th e p er f ormances bY his theatrical talents, came forward to announce the c onc l us i on of the season, in the fol lowing Addres s , w hi c h he delivered with modest dimity and his usual good sense : ;, 14 " )11 8 AND GENTLEMEN—Our short season is this brought to a close.

PRACTICAL EcoNomY.—The Society, formed in consequence of the proposals of Mr. OWEN, in the Metropolis, at present confines itself to the purchase of provisions and other necessaries, at wholesale prices, which are re-sold to the Mem bers, and to the Public, at a trifling advanced price, for covering expense of management, and slowly increasing the Society's Fund. A number of families, chiefly of the working classes, are deriving great advantages from this judicious and economical proceeding ; and such of them as are so disposed are forming arrangements to enable them to live in one neighbourhood, where they may adopt a joint system for the improved train ing and education of their children, and the ge neral domestic comfort and superintendance of ' their families.—A weekly publication, entitled " TIDE ECONOMIST," published every Saturday at 46, Fleet-street, price 3d. per Number, de tails these arrangements, and is devoted to the developement and discussion of Mr. OWEN'S plans.—This interesting little work, and also the, Report of the Committee of the Co-opera five and Economical Society," published at the same place, price 9d., may be had in town or country, through the medium of the newsmen and booksellers, to whom the Address of the Publisher, Mr. WRIGHT, 46, Fleet-street, should be given with the orders for the publications.

ANECDOTE OF KING CHARLES IL—King CHARLES the Second, after taking two or three turns one morning in Saint James's Park, (as wa his usual custom), attended only by the Duke of Leeds and my Lord Cromarty, walked up Constitution Hill, and from thence into Hyde Park. But just as he was crossing the road the Duke of York's coach was nearly arrived there. The Duke had been hunting that morning on Houns low Heath, and was returning in his coach escorted by a party of Guards, who as soon as they saw the King suddenly halted, and consequently stopt the coach. The-Duke being acquainted with the occasion of the halt, immediately got out of the coach, and after saluting the King, said " he was greatly surprised to find his Majesty in that place with such a small attendance!, and that he thought his Majesty exposed himself to some dan ger." "No kind of danger James," was the King's answer, for lam sure no man in England will take away my l i f e to make you Kin g ." ANECDOTE OF CROMWELL.—In the civil war, Sir Wm. Smyth was governor of Hillesdon House near Buckingham, where the King had a sm a ll garrison. This place was besieged and taken by Cromwell, but the officers capitulated to march out with their arms, baggage, &c.—As soon as they were with out the gate, one of Cromwell's soldiers snatched off Sir Wm. Smyth's hat. He immediately complained to CromWell of the fellow's insolence and breach of the capitulation. " Sir," says Cromwell, " if y ou can po i nt out the man, or I can discover him, I promise you he shall not go unpunished ; in the mean time (taking off a new beaver which he had on his head) be pleased to accept of this hat instead of your own." FORTUNE TELLING.—Much attention was last week excited in this town by a remarkable instance of simple credulity and deception, which we are bound to mention as a caution to all who are apt to place any trinfs.lence in those who pretend to foretel future events. A fo*une-teller, who styled herself a WisE WOMAN, was for abme weeks resi dent in this town, through which she ingeniously caused the following Address in manuscript to be privately circulated on small pieces of paper ; " Ladies, if you wish to know what is past, or what is to come, ally questions asked can be resolved by illrs. Tilford, dealer in ladies' wash balls, lodged at Mrs. Tom linson's, Petticoat-lane, Boston." Last Mondayevening, a ser vant girl of this town called upon Mrs. Tilford, who persuaded her to borrow and bring to her lodgings 24 pound notes, on a promise that the man she would marry should that night appear at her bedside, provided she slept with that sum of money in the inside of her stays. The girl, who placed the notes on a chest of drawers, kept her eyes fixed stead fastly upon them, but so far became the dupe of the fortune teller, that when she unrolled, at seven o'clock the next morn. ing, the piece of brown paper into which she imagined she saw them put one by one, she found nothing in it but another piece of paper, for the notes had remained in the hands of Mrs Til ford, who decamped from her lodgings during Monday night, and left Boston by the Perseverance coach on Tuesday morn! , ino. at four o'clock. A s t h e g i r l , i n obedience to the injunction of her deceiver, did not unloose the paper from her stays before seven o'clock, the fortune-teller had unhappily but too much time to elude her pursuers, and to frustrate the means which were as soon as possible taken for her apprehension. She is said to be a tall middle-aged woman, of imposing manners and genteel address.—(Boston Gazette.) MONTREAL, AUG. 14.—SINGULAR ATURDEIL—We have learned the following particulars from a gentleman lately from Three Rivera:—" A young man, living on th e oppos i te b an k of the river, affianced to a girl of the same place, went down to Quebec ; he there became acquainted with another girl, whom he married. After his return, the disappointed one, meeting her successful rival on the beach, and deriving strength from jea lousy, seized her, flung her to the earth, and when she opened her mouth to scream for assistance, crammed it full of sand. The unfortunate being, fearful of being stifled, endeavoured to keep her mouth shut ; but gasping for breath, was obliged to re-open it, and at each attempt to respire received an additional handful, till she at length fell a victim to the diabolical rage of her enemy. The murderess is in gaol at Three Rivers." Russ JELLY.—Arnong the novelties of the Pa risian circles, rum jelly has become an universal favourite. It is made in the following manner:— To a quart bottle of common white wine take a pound of sugar, which is to be reduced to a sirop, and clarified. Then take an ounce of isinglass, which put on the fire till it is thoroughly melted, pass it through a, cloth, and mix it with the sirop half warm. When this mixture is nearly cold, pour it into the white wine, and stir it well, so as to mix it completely. Then add a spoonful, or a spoonful and a half (according to the strength which you desire to give to the jelly) of old Ja maica rum. Stir again this mixture, and pour it into the mould that it may take the shape in cooling, which you design to give it, if intended as a plat for the table, or into glasses, if designed to be handed round at an evening party. The Bishop of BAIIIA made a motion in the Portuguese Cortes on the 3d instant, for pre= venting burials in churches, which, he observ ed, converted the sacred temples into recepta cles of putridity. He proposed that cemeteries should be formed in all the cities and large towns of Portugal on the plan of the English burying-grounds at Lisbon and Oporto. The motion was laid on the table for a second read ing, when it will be determined whether` or not the question shall be discussed. The mahogany table, formerly the property of the great FRANKLIN, was sold- by auction at Boston on the Ist inst. for 20 dollars. FLOGGlNG.—Ye.sterclay morning, between nine and ten o'clock, a great concourse of people as sembled in the Old Bailey-yard, to witness the public flagellation of several juvenile offenders, tried and convicted at the late Sessions. The Sheriffs were in attendance 'whilst the punishment was inflicted. SPOtillNC,lN'ittitGENct. BETTING-11001% SEpT.27—STATE OF THE ODDS DUKE MICHAEL STAKE.

In the fourth race, the jockey who rode Highflyer (or, as the Paris Journals call it, PIE/Tiber) was thrown, but was fortunately not hurt.. The horse continued running, for about 100 toises, without a r id er , but at length got entang l e d i n the ropes and fell. A heavy rain fell during the day, which much injured the course, and the races intended for Monday were in consequence postponed. Two swindlers were taken at Marsham Pair last week, and upon their persons ,were found twenty-five " flash notes," as they are termed, of which the following is a copy " Trent Fall B ank. ". I promis e t o pay t h e B earer, on demand, FIVE Half pence, in cash or steam, value received. " Entered, Timothy Smoke Trent Fall-111. " For Rich ar d Boiler, . Thomas Nossle and Co. "BENJAMIN MARGRAVE." The above words are displayed in the form of a smart, showy note, with a figure of Neptune to the left of the note. The following is an Extract of a Letter from the Agent at the Copper Mills a. Greenfield, near Holywell, to his Principals in L on d on : "GREENFIftn, SEPT. 25, 1821.—0 n Friday last we were visited with a flood, such as was never known here, but, I am happy to sal', excepting the water and mud getting into the mills, we have sustained little or no damage, the mills having resumed their full rate of working on Monday, morning." AFFLICTING - SCENE...--Josiah Cadman, aged thirty-four, who, it may be remembered, pleaded guilty at the present Sessions, to a charge of uttering a forged five pound note, received senten ce o f d eat h on Wednesday. H e was for merly clerk to an eminent Solicitor in Clerkenwell, and we understand that his conduct, while in that situation, was in every way praiseworthy and respectable. His wife, aged 27, who was also condemned to death at the same Sessions for the like crime, appears to be a woman of superior address -and edu cation. Great interest was excited in the spectators when they were placed at the bar to receive the awful sentence of the law. When the Clerk of the Arraigns asked Cadman what he had to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon him, he attempted to address the Court, but he was so overpowered with grief, that he could only articulate—" he hoped they would spare his wife's life." When the same question was put to the female, she said she had nothing more to say, than that " if her husband died she hoped she should die with him."— The scene was truly distressing, and the feelings of most pre sent, particularly the females, were quite overcome. Cori oxEn's INQUEST. —An Inquisition has been held at the White Horse, Castle-street, Leicester-square, before T. Higgs, Esq. Coroner, on the body of Catharine Mills, aged 44, who, on Monday last, was found dead in h er h e d, at a h ouse where she re s id e d in Castle-street. It a pp eare d t h at t h e poor woman had been f or a long time afflicted with an inward com plaint which incapacitated her from being enabled to suppor ther self, and having no relatives was often obliged to beg for a morsel of bread from the other lodgers in the house, who being also poor people could seldom dimply with her request. The land lord allowed her to retain the apartment rent free in which she was found dead. She had received relief from St. Martin's parish several times, the Overseers of which had humanely offered to pass her to her home; but the poor woman having been in respectable circumstances refused to become an inmate of a workhouse, observing she should recover her health, and he enabled to earn her livelihood. Tlfe last time she was seen alive was on Friday, and not being observed afterwards the lodgers became alarmed, and forced open the door, when they found her lying on the bed a corpse. Every thing in the room bore the appearance of the utmost poverty, and the grate seemed not to have had any fire in it for a considerable period. The Jury being of opinion that the poor woman had not made known the great extremity of her diStress, and not receiving proper medical assistance, returned the following verdict :—" Died by the Visitation of God, her death being accelerated by the want of proper necessaries for a person in her afflicted state."

RELIGIOUS =MUGS IN AMERICA: The people of this part of the island have seen little of field meetings for religious purposes since the days of Charles II.; but North of the Tweed they still continue to prevail s though they are not so nutnerotisly attended, nor .so fre quent as formerly. During the c rue l an d arbi trary reign of the Monarch above-mentioned, those Who adhered to Calvin and Presbytery had no other opportunity of assembling to wor ship their Creator, under the pastors of their choice, than in places df concealment, or in the open air. The most seirete enactments were enforced against conventicles Or private meetings. The Conscien tious opponents of the religion of the Court were,. titerefore, s ome ti mes d r i ven to the mountains to exercise their devotion s and a charge of dra goons or a volley of musketry often i n t errupte d their psa lm-singing or their prayers. By the es tablishment of Presbytery and toleration at the re volutiOns all, necessity for such mountain assem blages Was removed, but the habit of congregating in " high places" still continued among one of the sects that derived its name from a celebrated leader in the times of persecution. It is still the pr:c tice in Scotland to administer the sacrament in every parish only Once or twice a year, and as greater numbers assemble on that occasion than the church can accommodate, a tent is erected in the church-yard, or some neighbour ing field, from which the clergymen of the vici nity successively address their united congrega tions, Every kind of refreshment is to be found in sight of the tent, or in the neighbourhood ; the people are collected from a great distance ; and the assembly, though met for religious purpcses, sometimes presents as gay an appearance as one met for amusement. Hence the origin of Burns' poem called the Holy Fair.' The meetings de scribed in the following extracts from American Papers will be found of a kind similar to the old meetings in Scotland, though on a more extensive scale, and not rendered necessary by the dread of persecution : [From the Winchester (Virginia) Republican, Aug. 25.1 A eamp-mecting was held at Stephensburg (Newtown), in this county, from the 15th to the 21st instant. On the first and second days (Thursday and Friday) people assembled in great numbers, and on Saturday there were 101 tents, also 130 was 28 carriages and gigs, and 1,535 people encamped, ex clusive of flankers and coloured people. On Sunday there were 149 waggons, and 53 carriages and gigs, on the camp._ ground, and 32 retailing waggons near it, which made the num ber of waggons 181. On the same day the number of people on the camp -ground was, from the best calculation, 4,762, and 1,200 flankers ; which made the round number of 5,962 white people, and 590 coloured. On Monday 410 persons received sa crament, and on Tuesday 48 joined the society. The meeting broke up on that day at half past 11, A. 111., after giving full a tisfaction to all. For so large a one it was said tokvl been well conducted, and as good behaviour preserved on the camp.grour d as could possibly have been expected. [From the Norfolk Beacon, Aug. 23.] THE CAMP MEETING ON TANGIER ISLAND.—We learn from a Gentleman who attended the Camp meeting on Tang:e7 Island, which commenced on the 16th instant, and closed on Tuesday morning last at eight o'clock, that it was more numerously attended than ariy preceding it at the same place. The number of persons present was estimated at be tween 5,000 and 6,000 ; the number of preachers not as many as on former occasions; but a great number were added to the followers of the Lamb. The decked vessels in the harbour were judged to be about '2OO, besides 210 open boats. The encamF. ment consisted of 264 tents, occupying an area of between 400 and 500 yards. The utmost harmony and brotherly love pre vailed among the Members of the Church, and caused much regret that this season of refreshment was so short lived. MAJOR ANDRE. FROM AN AMERICAN PAPErt.)—The recent disinterring of the bones of this accomplished British officer, who was condemned during the war of our revolution, for a rash attempt to penetrate the secrets of the American camp, has drawn forth the sympathy of multitudes, and occasioned the frequent repetition of his sufferings and his disgrace. While the story of his melancholy exit is the subject of ge neral regard, the following particulars may not be uninteresting to many of our readers :—" On being apprehended, he was placed under the immediate care of the late General WILLIAM ALLEN, of this town, then a Major in the service. To this intelligent gentleman (from whom this brief account was some years since derived) he exhibited some of the most amiable traits of cha- - racter ; but nothing was so affecting to his keeper as that extreme delicacy of feeling, which made, him shudder at the imputation of crime, and to shrink, not at the apprehended pains of death, but at the bare idea of a disgraceful one. The eager eyes of the sentinel who guarded the building where he was confined, as they gazed upon hint through the windows, pierced him to the soul, and covered him with confusion; for, before that time, his gallant spirit had soared above all criminal thoughts, and he had never been suspected of a dis honourable action. At his earnest solicitation, he was removed to an upper apartment, away front the prying eye of curiosity, and from the rude gaze of soldiers, who might exult over a captive enemy, of whose acute sensibility they had no con ception, and to whose mental sufferings they were perfect strangers. This was the evening before his execution ; and while pacing this upper apartment in a state of great pertur bation, he adverted to his repeated unsuccess ful applications to General Washington for a change of punishment, that might shield his me mory from the infamy of a death upon the gallows. " Is there no hope for me," with much emotion he exclaimed to Major Allen. ljie was assured that there was no probability of his request being granted. " I will make one last • fort," continued Andre, and taking his pe: ink, without the convenience of a tar chair, he stood against the wall, an paper resting upon his kne e , h e ma d' .1 an almost expiring e ff or t i n an energe. -le gar. a letter to the American G ene with , hi, • was written with th e grea t e r Jac h is li st a a t , nnd mo • a moment's study or ref le VI /H s read and admired for tb raPiciltv letter , ctio n .
