THE THEATRES. „- DRURY...I_4ANE.—The season commenced fait night at this Theatre with 'tie Comedy of 7 1 h School for Scandal and the'Farce of The: Poor Soldier. The House was full to overflowing im mediately after the opening of the doors.-,-On the rising of the curtain ” God. save the King" was sung by the chief vocal Performers, and was encored.=" Rule Britannia". was then partially called for, but not given.—Mr. TERRY then came forward and delivered the Occasional Ad dress, written by Mr. COLMAN, which we have inserted this day, and which our Readers will see abounds with all that spirit, humour, and point, which might be expected from his prompt and fertile Muse.=Mr.. TERRY delivered it with energy. and suitable - ,variation of tone, according to'the nature of the sentiments and allusions.— The.general effect was striking, and the speaker was interrupted: by plaudits during the whole recital. When he came to the following couplet, which he uttered with modest diffidence, " E'en I, although among the last and least, 'Flay pass, perhaps; as garnish to the feast," . the audience, by the warmth of ,their applause, proved that they considered him as one of their, best standing dishes. A indicrous circumstance; happened at the conclusion, for, forgetting that he had been reviling 'Stage-doors, he.passed, by habit, to retire through such a medium. The play then followed, and went off with spirited effect. DOWTON, in Sir. Oliver, experienced a most triumphant reception, which was renewed when l Sir Peter welcomed him as " an old friend." TERRY was also well received in Sir _Peter, ,and they both performed' their parts admirably.. Mrs. GLOVER was also convinced , by the cordial manner in which she was received that she is a prime favourite of the public, and her excellent support of Mrs. Candour amply justified the re ception. COOPER is too respectable an actor not to have been warmly received in the pa r t of Joseph Surface, which he rendered more than usually prominent. Mrs. W. WEST was greeted Warmly, and her . Lady Teazle proved that her ta , lents are capable of various exertion. - HARLEY had full reason to. be satisfied with his reception in Sir Benjamin, and GATTIE also in Crabtree. When-Mr. ELLISTON appeared as Charles Surface he was received with a gratifying enthusiasm, which he could not but consider as no small part 'of his reward for his adventurous zeal in the improvement of the Theatre.' He then 'quitted the convivial board, and came to the front of the stage in . order.to, testify his sense of public ap . - probation. His gestures obviously marked his feelings, and be then resumed ,the 'character of Charles, and sustained it with all his indefa tigable spirit. The Poor ,Soldier followed, and Mrs..VEsTßis was Patrick, a character which, With all her merit, we 'never wish to see her assume, and we hope that, among the other improvements of the Stage, no females will appear in male characters, as: the scenic delusion is en tirely.desfroyed, and:as it : will be hard indeed if Male actors cannot be found fully competent. — The whole of the evening's entertainments passed off with all the spirit of novelty, and the au dience, by the added convenience of their situa tion, .seemed to feel themselves in a state of domestic comfort. A Mr. MILLAR made his first appearance in Dermot, and had the honour of having his first song encored. COVENTO - ARDEN. - -Notwithstanding the power ful attraction of the rival Theatre'the sterling comedy of The Jealous Vile had a very respect able attendance last night. Miss. CHESTER re sumed the part of Mrs. Oakley, and being more in possession of her powers, supported it with 'in creased, ability and effect. Her person and talents render her indeed a valuable acquisition to the Lon don Stage. Mr, C. KEMELE enters into the charac ter of Oakley with critical truth, and expresses the domestic anxieties arising from causeless jea lousy with great feeling. The Major, by BART LEY, Lord Trinket, bySoilLs, Russet, by BLAN CHARD, and Sir Harty Beagle, by FAWCETT, all ably contributed to the' general effect, and the Lady Freelove of Mrs. GIBBS . was marked by ruth of character and genuine comic spirit. DEATH OFMRs7GAR T RIcK - .-J-This venerable Relict of the greatest Actor inost probably that the world ever possessed, 'closed her life, last night at twelve o'clock, at her house on the A delphi Terrace, in the hundredth year of her, age. Her maiden name was VIOLETTE, and she was a native of Germany, not Italy, as generally supposed. She was born 'at Vienna, where she was a dancer highly admired. At an early age she was taken under the protection of Lord and Lady BURLINGTON, with whom she resided at her marriage. It is understood that Lord BunLINGTorg gave her six thousand pounds as a marriage portion, when 'she united with our unrivalled Roscius, in the July of 1749. Mrs. GARRICK was remarkably beautiful in her face and person, and till her death she retained that erect deportment which she derived from her original profession. GARRICK, always sensibly affected by ridicule, endeavoured to avert it on his marriage, and therefore published a Poem on the , occasion, of which he induced his friend NED MOORE, as he was familiarly styled, the author the tragedy of, The Gamester, to assume the credit ; but it was well known to GARRICK'3 friends, and particularly to the late Dr. MONSEY of ChelseaCollege,who was intimate with both ,that it was really the production of G ARRICK himself, written for the purpose of anticipating the wit and humour' likely to assail him, on his adopting the character of Benedick in real life. Mr..and Mrs. GARRICK were a very happy couple, and enjoyed the highest society in the kingdom, till the close of his life, in the January of 1779, and it is remarkable, that during the whole period of their marriage, whatever invitations they received, or excursions they took, they never once slept asunder. Mr. GARRICK was often accused or parsimony, but the fact is confirmed by the tes timony of Dr. JOHNSON, that he was merely prudent, and that no man was more ready to part with money in acts of benevolence and ge nerosity. The hospitality of his table, in which the taste and- liberality of himself and his wife were conspicuous, is another proof that he was not actuated by the parsimonious feelings that were invidiously or ignorantlyimputed to him. 6,000 135,331 FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

I' E T It Y. ADDRESS, FOR 0 PEN TNd THE NENV THEATRE, IN I) RURY-LANE, ON THE 16TH OF OCTOBER, 1822. Written by G. COLMAN, Es j. ;. Spoken by .31r. TERRY. Since Theatres so oft', in this our time,, Are launch'd upon the town, with solemn rhyme, Thoughts ready-made, to fit the theme, are found, Like last year's tune:fon barrel-organs ground ; And Poets furbish, in the bathos style Old tropes and figures, for the new-built pile. The Sock and Buskin named—the Muses follow ; The Opera--always - prefaced with Apollo— But Arcbiteeture's claims when we enforce, VITRUYICs and PALLAnio come, of course: Till, after a long dance through Greece and Rome, To DRYDEN, OTWAY, CONGREVE, getting home, We end with SHAKspEARE'S ghost, still liov'ring on our) dome ! Alas ! how'vainly will our modern fry Strive.with the old Leviathan's to vie ! HoW foolishly comparison provoke, • • • Airith lines-that JOHNSON wrote, and GARRICK spoke. Abandon we a strain without more fuss Which, when attempted, has ahandonil us; And,let us guiltless be; however dull, Of murdering the " sublime and beautiful." Thus, then ;—our Manager who scouts the fears Of. pulling an Old House about his ears, Has spared, of our late Edifice's, pride, The outward walls-- - --and little else beside. Anxious has been that labour to complete, `Which makes nureificence and comfort meet: Anxious that multitiideS may sit at ease, And scantier numbers in no desert freeze ; That ample space may mark the liberal plan, But never strain the eyes or ears of man. Look round and judge—his efforts all are waste Unless you stamp them as a work of taste. • Nor blame him for transporting from his floors Those old offenders here—the two stage-doors— Doors which have, oft'; with burnish'd pannels stood, And golden knockers, glitt'ring in a wood ; Which on their posts, through every change remain'd, Fast as Bray's Vicar, whosoever ; That Served. for Palace, Cottage, Street, or Hall, Used for each place, and out of place in all ; Station'd, likewatchmen, who in lamplight sit, For all the businesS of the night unfit. So much for visual sense :—what follows next Is chiefly on the Histrionic text :' • • And our Adventurer has toil'd to, store His list of Favourites with some Favdarites more ; Sought planets roving from their former sphere, And filed, as stars, the brilliant wanderers here : To Drury's luminaries witted light, And made his sky with constellationibright. Rich the repast ;—and may, 'we trust, insure The custom of the scenic epicure. E'en I—although among the last and least— • May pass, perhaps, as garnish to the feast. • As for our living dramatists, if now' • The genuine bays disdain to deck their brow, ' Still they can please ; and as they're dull or clever, , You patronise, or. damn, the same as ever. , For each degree of talent, after all, Must here, by your decision, rise or fall. THE ARMY. MILITARY RECORD OF THE.LATE LIECIT.-GENERAL WALTER ELUTE. This officer entered the service as a volunteer, and sailed with the 28th (or North. Gloucester) Regiment of Foot, in October, 1775, from Cork, for America. He served in that capacity in the 28th light' company, and in the 3d battalion of light infantry, and was present in all the skirmishes and actions in which that active corps was engaged, viz. the attack upon Charlestown—battle of Brooklyn—land ing on YOrk Island—severe action of the following day, at illacgowen's Pass—battle of White Plains, and the capture of Rhode Island—from its landing at. Cape Fear, in North Ca rolina, the Ist May, 1776, to the end of ' the following De cember. He was appointed to an Ensigncy in the 28th'Foot, in De , ember, 1776—carried the colours of his Regiment at the battle' of Brandywine, and was,prornoted to a Lieutenancy in the 7th (Royal Fuzileers) Regiment on the 9th of June, 1778. ' He was present at the battle of Monmouth—capture of New Haven, Fairfield, and Newark, in New England, under Major- General Tryon, and at the siege of Charlestown. . , This Officer served as Major of Brigade, from May, 170, to July, 1782, to Brigadier-General, now Sir Alured Clarke, G.C.8., who then commanded the forces in Georgia and East Florida. He succeeded to a company in the 7th Foot, on the 31st of December, 1782, and continued in America, with Bri gadier-General Clarke, till .the evacuation of New York, in November, 1783, when he returned to England. Capt. Cliffe sailed for Gibraltar in July, 1780, from thew to Quebec id June, 1781, and returned to England, as Aide-de- Camp to Brigadier-Gen. Clarke, in December, 1793. He re ceived the brevet of Major, on the Ist March, 1794, and that of Lieut.-Col. on the 31st March, 1795. He was appointed, in the same yeai,Deputy-Adjutant-Gen. to the Expedition destined for the reduction of the Cape of Good Hope ; and, on that object being accomplished, accom panied Sir Alured Clarke, as Aide-de-Camp, to Madras, where ' that General was appointed Commander-in-Chief. He subse quently, in 1797, went with the Commander-in-Chief to Ben gal, and was appointed Adjutant-General to the King's troops in the East Indies, in which situation he continued till Aug. 1801, when he returned with Sir A. Clarke to England. In February, 1798, he was promoted to the Majority of the 7th Foot. He retired, in 1802, upon half-pay, on account of ill health ; received the brevet of Colonel, on the 29th April, the same year ; was einployed from the 25th June, to the 24th December, 1803, as-Assistant-Adjutant-Genera l , at the Horse Guards ; was next appointed an Inspecting Field Officer, and subsequently, a Brigadier-General on • the Volunteer Staff, . from which situation lie was reduced in 1808. I He received, on the 25th October, 1809, the rank of Major- General, and on the 4th June, 1814, that, of Lieutenant- General. Q .

The day was very wet, and in consequence there were few spectators on the ground. • ISLE OF WIGHT, OCT. 12. CowEs.—The brilliancy of the last Hunting Club Ball, which took place in the metropolis of the island, on Friday, the 4th instant, eclipsed all former attempts of the kind. The Town Hall of Newport was the arena of attraction, and was most tastefully decorated for the occasion. We shall not attempt (for that were beyond our powers) to give a descrip tion of the beauty, fashion, and elegance which were displayed. The fair daughter of Colonel Campbell, of Gatcomb House, presided as the Lady Batroness of the evening, and was assist ed by the Comptroller, Mr. Fleming, our much esteem ed County Member, and the other gentlemen stewards, by whose conjoint and spirited exertions the entertainment was conducted and concluded with extraordinary satisfaction and eclat. It is in contemplation, we understand, to commence forthwith considerable improvements in this town George Ward, Esquire. the munificent proprietor of North. wood Payk, who has always an eye to the comfort and accom modation of the public, as well as the prosperity of the town, has become the purchaser of the Fountain Inn, and the adjoin ing public-house: on the back premises of which, extending toward the sea, he purposes to erect a suite of apartments upon a scale commensurate with the increasing popularity of the place, and that shall command uninterrupted views of the de lightful amphitheatre which nature has formed in this almost unrivalled bay. Northwood House has been of late the scene of unexampled gaiety and good cheer. On Thursday last a splendid dinner was given by Mr. Ward, to which were invited 'many of the respectable visitors and resident gentry in the town and neighbourhood. On the following Tuesday evening, Sir George Leeds, of Westhill, gave a similar treat at his charming villa, which terminated in a ball, in the conducting of which the liberality and taste of the worthy Baronet and his beautiful and amiable Lady were eminently conspicuous. • An Italian Manuscript, entitled the Story of the. Vision of Alberico, from which dante is sup posed to have borrowed the idea of the Divina Commedia, has been recently discovered at Naples, in the library of the ancient monastery of Monte Casino. It narrates the vision of Al berico, a native of Letufrate, who, at the age of nine years, seddenly fell int& a swoon that con tinued nine days, during which he fancied him self conducted by the Prince of the Apostles through hell, purgatory, and paradise, and ob served the punishments and enjoyments of the three regions. There'is a great probability in the supposition that the Italian poet is a good deal indebted to this production. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

Bark, and the Gentlemen composing the Land Expedition for the plirpose of discovering a N.W. passage who landed at Stromness ; a Gentleman also landed with dispatches for the Company. HULL, OCT. 15.—The Ellison arrived last night from Da vis's Straits, with 9 fish, 120 tuns, and brings an account that most of the ships outstanding belonging to the different ports had improved - in their success, having fallen in with fish in the month of September. After the other ships had left the fishery, the ships - alluded to consisted of about 13 sail, and found the fish in lat. 61 to 69., on the 'West side of Davis's Straits. tOXING. , . Yesterday was a busy one at this fanciful game, and it was a rare thanly battle between Sarni. Tibbet, a pupil of Josh. Hud son, and Jackson, designated'the Somers Town Champion. It was for 40 sovereigns, and it took place near the May-pole on Epping Forest. The seconds were Josh. Hudson and Toni Owen for Tibbett, and Harry Holt and another for Jackson. THE FIGHT. , Round 1. The men turned to with much earnestness, bent for mischief. They hit each other to a stand still, and Jackson slipped and fell from the rally. 2. A very game round, in which some severe round blows were exchanged, rather to the advantage of Jackson, who ulti mately floored his adversary by a hit home, or, in other words, at just distance, not guided by science. 3. A tremendous and fearless fighting round, in which each had alternate advantages, but in a severe rally Tibbet seemed to rear best. Jackson received a ehanecrified hit in the , nob, but he seemed as content as a speculator in the Fleet, who had run away with a rich ward. His courage no more left him than the ward would her admirer. 4. Jackson had the best of the latter part of this round, and threw his adversary a neat someriet. 5,6, and 7. Piping was the order of the day, and it was all scramble. B.:Tibbet 'led and fought to advantage, but the other had the best of it, if any best, until the 20th round, when the East-enders and water-side artists, advocates which Westminster-hall could not produce, broke in the ring, nay, they broke the stakes which formed it, and would not allow Jackson to win. The time-keeper bolted, lest any of the people should think they had as much right to the yaele. (watch) as he had, and left them, welcoming his successful retreat with a drop of daffty. Time went on by guess, and Jackson, who by manhood had no chance of a tie or a win, was compelled by his second, Holt, to give in. He is, however, the best man, and game to the bone. PORTRAIT OF SHAKESPEARE.--Talma, the French tragedian, has in his possession a portrait of Shakspeare, which he purchased of a broker in France, and he has determined on bringing it to England. The painting is in oil, upon a pannel of an oval form, which is inserted in the centre of a piece of wood that once formed the upper part of a pair of bellows, the lower part of which, together with the nozzle and leather, it is lost. On each side of this piece of wood, and attached to the edge, is a pair of carved wings. Around the surface, close to the edge, and in one line, is rudely carved, in letters rather more than half an inch in length, the following verse Who have we here, Stuck in these bellows : But the Prince of good fellows, Willy Shakspeare. Directly over the portrait these lines are also carved : " 0 ! base and coward luck, To be so stuck—Pains. And immediately under it are the following : " Nay, but a god-like luck's to him assigned, Who, like the Almighty, rides upon the wind." The portrait is said to bear a strong resemblance to the wood cuts in the old folio edition of Shakspeare's works. It is in excellent preserva tion, and represents a man about thirty years of age, with auburn hair, grey eyes, a remarkably high forehead, mustachios, and a sharp-pointed beard ; a florid complexion, and a line expres sive'countenance, full of sweetness, smiles, and POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HousE.—William Thomas Rowe, Esq. one of rhe Commissioners of Customs (formerly a barrister), attended at the Justice Room yesterday, to prefer a complaint against the driver of a caravan belonging to Mr. Fenvtick, wine-mer chant, whose premises are in Water-lane. From the Commissioner's statement it appeared that in his way to, the Custom-house, he was obliged to pass through Water-lane, and had frequently met with impediments of the most disagreeable kind, from the drivers of carts, who seem ed upon all occasions to take delight in sheaving their inde pendence, to the annoyance and vexation of respectable passen gers. It was not so much for the sake of his own particular accommodation as for the convenience of the public, that he took the trouble to have an investigation of the case ; and as the decision, of the Lord Mayor would be of the utmost im portance, inasmuch as it would in all probability give the drivers of carts a salutary lesson, recourse was had to his 'Lord, ship. The driver of the caravan in question was unloading in that part of Water-lane which is contiguous to Harii-line, When the Commissioner drove up in his gig, and called to him to lead his horses a few yards up a gateway, in order that the gig might pass. This accommodation might have been rendered without the slishtest inconvenience, but it was peremptorily re fused, the driver having declared that he would not stir until he had unloaded. _ . . Mr. Fenwick' attended for the purpose, of exculpating his servant. He declared that the driver had npt act qd with itn- . _ propriety of any kind. The LORD 111AYon said, it had not been shewn to him that the driver had violated the statute which, if he had committed an obstruction from wilfulness or neglect, would have made him. iable. The Commissioner said he knew it to be the law, that no . . . . man was justified in obstructing the King's highway under any circumstances whatever. He had himself some experience in the law, and would insist upon it that an obstruction of the sort could not be defended in any Court of law upon the principle of private convenience, or any other principle. The LORD MAYmt asked, whether there was any evidence to prove that the driver had wilfully delayed the Commis- sioner ? The Commissioner said, he had already proved that fact of obstruction, by stating that the driver had refused to draw a, few yards out of the way, when he might have done so. He re quested that the decision , might he postponed, in order that his Lordship might have time to give the subject due consi, deration. - - The LORD MAYOR S4id, it was quite unnecessary to take more time. The case had not been proved. The Statute of the-30th of George 2d had not been violated, and the mer chants of London must have opportunities of getting their busi. ness done. The Commissioner's complaint was then dismissed. UNION-HALL.—DREADFUL RlOT.—Yesterday, Patrick Daley, Timothy Sullivan, Thomas Sullivan, Thomas Daley, Patrick Roche, John Sulivan, Bridget Daley, and Julia Aze all Irish, were brought up in custody charged with a riot and • assault which is likely to terminate in murder, a patrole named Holt having been wounded in a manner which renders his re covery very doubtful: The prisoners when placed at the bar exhibited a disgusting and frightful appearance, being almost, naked and covered with blood, in which state they were taken • into custody. James Hill, a patrole of Clink Liberty, stated, that on Tues day night,; aboat 12 o'clock, some of the prisoners ,passed him on his beat, and went into a house in Paver's-alley, Lomas's fields ; they appeared to be intoxicated. Some little time after • he heard cries of " Murder !" proceed from the house into which the prisoners went. Witness went to the door of the house, which was shut; on demanding admittance, a voice cried out from within, " If you come here you'll be murdered, we have a pitchfork ready for you." Witness replied, I have a pistol for you, and instantly sprung his rattle for assistance. He was soon join, ed by a number of patrole and watchmen, with whose assistance • he broke open a window, through which they dragged out Sullivan, who guarded the wiudow inside, and made a des perate resistance. Having taken him to the watchhouse, wit ness returned, and Timothy Sullivan, who had succeeded his namesake as guard on the window, was dragged out and lodged in the watchhouse. On returning to the house, witness heard a noise, as if the rioters were breaking into the adjoining house ; and for the purpose of preventing their escape, he went into the next house, where he found Patrick Daley nearly naked; and covered with blood, who was also secured, and taken to• - the watchhouse. The witness produced the butt-ends of two horse pistols with marks of blood on them, which belonged to pistols taken from Holt the patrole, who had entered the house during the Vtitness'sAbsence with the prisoners he took to the watch house. Witness also produced a hammer with blood on it. John M'Douald, ;a:patrele, who had his head bound up, in consequence of the brutal treatment he had received, stated., s that on hearing the rattle he ran to the scene of action. Holt (who now lies at the Hospital) and the witness assisted in breaking open the window. Holt put in one leg and was in stantly dragged into the room. Witness put his head in, and received a blow from a poker which knocked him into the street, - where he lav insensible for some time. On recovering him self he saw the first witness and another patrole dragging the' prisoner Patrick Daley through the window. Witness iden tified Daley as the man who had struck him. Witness assisted in taking him to the watch-house, and on his return saw Holt lying on the floor of the room, and the prisoner Thomas Daley standing over him with a hammer in his hand with which he befit Holt in different parts of the body. .The butt ends of the pistols lay close by on the .floor. , Holt was co vered with blood, and quite insensible.—The riot lasted two hours. John Wilson, another patrole, corroborated the former wit, ness's evidence, and stated that on attempting to enter the house he was struck with a poker, and had the bridge of his nose broken. One of the prisoners had a pistol-in his hand, and Bridget Daley had a fender, with.which she stood near t! - e win dow making threats at every one that attempted to enter. Mr. Kenrick, a baker, residing in Union-street ; stated that hearing the cries of murder, he wept to the house from which the cries proceeded, and sawlll‘Donald. knocked down by one of the prisoners. Witness instantly seized a cutlass and pistol from one of the patrole, and jumped into the room through the win dow. John Sullivan was standing in the middle of the room with a pistol in his hand, swearing he would be the death of the first man that offered to touch him. 'Witness instantly snapped the pistol at him, but it missed fire several times. Witness then cut - him down with the sword ; and secured Pat. Daley, who defended himself with a chair, and defied the witness to fire.— The witness identified all the prisoners as having been present. Mr. Maurice, an assistant in St. Thomas's Hospital, attend ed, and stated that Holt, the patrole, had, receive I a severe wound on the head, and several co:Aosions on the body. He did not consider him in immediate danger, but danger, he said, ,might come on. The Magistrate requested that a certificate might be' sent from the Hospital, signifying the state of the patrole, tomor row (this day,) and remanded the prisoners for another exami nation ; observing at the same time, that he had never heard of a more cowardly and disgraceful attack npon a defenceless rnAn who lay insensible on the floor. • Bow. STREET.—On Tuesday evening a charge of a new species of fraud upon the Theatres came to be investi gated before Tnomas HALLS, Esq. the Sitting Magistrate.— Andrew Roberts,, a young man, was brought to h Office by one of the street-keepers in the Strand, charged with: attempting - to gain admittance to the gallery of the Adelphi . Theatre by means of a false check. It appesrel from the ..evi dence of several persons employed at the Theatre , that several admissions had lately been gained by means of false tin or nietal checks, with stamped impressions in the middle of them, similar to those of the Theatre. ;The Managers, to avoid mil a r impositions, discontinued the use of checks on TUes day, hnd issued card checks, and the prisoner presenting a forged metal check on that evening, the Check-taker instantly di sc overed the imposition. The prison - r was stopped and given into the custody of the Street-keeper, who on searching him f aind 12 other similar forged checks. The Magistrate remarked that he was afraid the cause was not cognizable before him, 'as it was only similar to forged orders, which was a fraud not to ob tain money, goods, or chattels.—He was discharged. A white sparrow was shot on Monday se'n night, in the neighbourhood of Warwick. SHOCKING ACCIDENT. - All occurrence of a very painful nature took place yesterday in Westminster-road, in consequence of a horse drawing a chaise, containing a lady and gentle man with their child, taking fright from some unaccountable circumstance. The animal darted. off at great speed, rendering the efforts of the driver ineffectual : at length the wheel of the vehicle coming in contact with a raised footpath, caused a sudden jerk, by which the lady and. infant were thrown to the ground with great violence, and the latter had its arm broken. The lady was taken up senseless, and. severely con tused, but proper restoratives being applied, recovered. It is singular the horse stood stilt the instant it met with obstruction, eo ce•
