DRURY-LAXE.—The Comedy of Wild Oats, one of the most regular of those dramatic extra vaganzas which have issued from the pen of O'KEEFFE, was last night full as well supported altogether as we have ever seen it since its origi nal appearance. The part of Rover had all ELLISTON'S animation. Sir George Thunder was complete in DOWTON ; TERRY was forcible and correct in John Dory. KNIGHT is one of the best representatives of Sim that we have seen since the late BLANCHARD, the original—but it is impossible to forget his simplicity, feeling, and rustic energy. Mrs. W. WEST was very inte resting in Lady Amaranth; and HARLEY, though the part is not in his proper line, gave effect to Ephraim Smooth, the amorous and hy pocritical Quaker.—The farce was The Agreeable Surprize, and Mrs. HUGHES again acquitted her self to the satisfaction of a very numerous au dience in the part of Cowslip. CovErcr-GARDEN.--The new candidate for public favour, who came forward last night in the character of Young Norval, is Mr. MASON, a son of the youngest sister of Mrs. SIDDONS. It is understood that he has been a pupil of his uncle, Mr. C. KEMULE. His person and features qua lify him very well for the Stage, and amidst his evident timidity, naturally arising from the awe excited by so formidable a tribunal as a London audience, he displayed talents that practice may ripen into no small share of theatrical merit. His deportment is easy, and he seemed to have studied the part, of which he gave a tolerable out line, though in the detail he sometimes wanted due animation. This want, however, we are inclined to attribute to diffidence, but as he was received with encouraging applause, and has the advantage of a judicious tutor, who himself presents an example of theatrical excellence, this noviciate may fairly be expected, as his fears disperse, to rise in public favour. The part of Lady Randolph was assigned to Mrs. W. CLIFFORD, who appeared to much advantage at the Haymarket Theatre in the comic province. She possesses a good figure, and her deportment is easy, natural, and appropriate. Her performance of Lady Randolph was throughout marked by judgment and feeling, and if she ig not thoroughly qua lified to take the lead in tragic characters, she will at least support them with propriety, and, possessing very respectable comic talents, she is likely to become a very useful addition to the theatrical Corps of this Temple of the dramatic Muses. YATES was the Glenalvon, a character wholly out of his line, but he seemed disposed to follow the outline of the celebrated CooaE, who rendered it one of the most prominent of his performances. The part of Old Norval was sustained with great ability by BARTLEY. He fully satisfied the mind, but his portly form and countenance rendered it somewhat difficult to consider him as worn down by grief and poverty. The afterpiece was The Poor Sol dier, and Mr. KEELEY performed the part of Darby. He has been such a favourite at the minor Theatres that he was sure of a favour able reception, and he deserved it by the spirit and humour of his acting. Miss BEAUMONT, a pretty and clever young actress, was the Patrick, and was encored in the song of " My Friend and Pitcher :" but we hope that the custom of intro ' ducincr females in male characters will be wholly abandoned, as it is by no means creditable to a Patent Theatre, which ought always to be pro vided with proper representatives of male cha. :e TS. [FROM THE LATE AMERICAN PAPERS.] AFRICAN SETTLEMENT.—The Agent, at Balti more, of the African Settlement at Cape Mussura, appears to have received late accounts from that Colony, of a very flattering description. Houses had been built for the natives, who were em ployed in the cultivation of cotton, indigo, and other produc tions of the tropical climate. None of them were anxious to re. turn ; mut harmony and good fellowship were generally pre valent. The place was abundant in all the fruits of the tro pical climate, besides being auspicious to the growth of tea and coffee. There is a place in Cape Messurado, where the natives believe that the devil resides, and they were, on that account, extremely averse to a cession of the ter ritory. They occasionally attend, and sacrifice a fowl, to propitiate the favorable regards of their forlorn deity. The na tives still make their sacrifice, although the Americans have purchased out their right and title to his dominion in Cape Alessurado. Preparations are making at Baltimore for another vessel to sail to the Colony during the present season. An article dated Bayonne, the 15th inst., con tains the following statement :—" Letters have been received to-day at Bayonne, from St. Jean Pied de Port, which say that many soldiers of the Army of the Faith have arrived at Irati.— Reports have since been spread, that the Army of the Faith has been totally defeated, and that the fort • was abandoned yesterday morning— that one of the Guerilla commanders, BARRATIN, had gone with four hundred men to Guipuscoa, and that the Army of the Faith in Navarre is quite broken up. It is certain that the Consti tutional troops were in force on the 12th in the forest of Irati, and that BARRATIN has in fact passed into Guipuscoa, to resume the offensive." A. French paper, attached to the interest of the Spanish insergents, confirms the taking of Irati. The following hand-bill was posted at the en trance of the Royal Exchange yesterday morning ; it has not been sanctioned by the merchants, and was removed, almost as soon as it appeared, by the Exchange-keeper : • " TO THE GENTLEMEN DEALERS IN FOREIGN STOCKS - _ ON THE ROYAL EXCHANGE. " GENTLEMEN—You have selected for the theatre of your operations one of the most frequented parts of the Exchange, particularly on foreign post days, of those whose habitual places you have usurped : your removing a few yards further to the nor th-east corner, a quarter always thinly attended, will be con sidered as an act of couttesy for which the merchants who fre quent the French and Italian walks will feel much obliged." MRS. GARRICK.—The remains of this vene rable Relict of the great and unrivalled ornament of the British Stage, were removed from the Adelphi Terrace at eleven o'clock this morning, and deposited in Westminster Abbey. The funeral procession consisted of a hearse with four horses, three mourning coaches and four, and four private carriages. On Wednesday, the 16th inst. the mortal re mains of the Hon. Lady ANNE JOCELYN (whose death was announced in The Freeman's Journal of the 16th inst.), sister to Earl RODEN, were brought in great funeral pomp to Dundalk, and deposited in the RODEN family vault, in the Parish Church of St. Nicholas ; Lord RODEN, Chief mourner, attended by the family domestics, relatives, and friends of the deceased.—(Dublin Freeman's Journal.)

The liveries are of the most splendid description ever witnessed on any former occasion. The following may be considered as conveying but a very inadequate idea of their magnificence. The cloth, which is of the very best English manufacture, is a beautiful puce co lour, with vest and small-clothes of superfine orange, richly figured with golden braid. The coat splendidly decorated with gold figures, the body ornamented with the oak leaf, acorn, shamrock, thistle, and rose, in a wreath of gold ; the sleeves to correspond : the whole of which is of the most costly descrip tion, forming the most beautiful specimen that can be imagined, and reflecting the highest credit upon the taste and judgment of the maker. _ _ -- ----- HEREFORD PITT CLUB.—Yesterday (Tuesday / 22d inst.) a highly respectable meeting of the Members of the Club took place at, the hotel, in this city, to celebrate the anni versary of the birth of that distinguished Statesman, the Right lion. WILLIAM PITT. The Chairman, on this occasion, was E. B. PATESIIALL, Esq., who was most ably seconded by Viscount Eastnor, as Vice-President. Nearly eighty sat down to dinner, including our Noble Chief Steward, Earl Somers, Viscount Eastnor, M.P., Sir J. G. Cotterell, Bait M.P., Sir 11. Hoskyns, Bart. &c.

Mr. Shore are now canvassing the University for for the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Smyth; and it is is expected that Mr. Goulburn, Secretary to the Lord Lieu tenant of Ireland, and Sir John Copley, the Solicitor-General, will also offer themselves as candidates. At a Congregation of Wednesday last, the Right Hon. Lord Stowell, I,L. D. of University College, Oxford, was admitted ad eundem of this University. At the same Congregation the Rev. Thos. Shelford, M.A., Fellow of Corpus Christi College, was appointed Deputy Re gistrary for the year ensuing. The Rev. James Scholefield, M.A. Fellow of Trinity Col lege, and the Rev. Charles Smith, M.A., Fellow of St. Peter's College, were on the same day elected Pro-Proctors. On Wednesday last a grace passed the Senate, " To confirm the Report of the Syndicate, dated Oct. 7, 1822 ; and to author ize the Syndicate to superintend, - on the part of the University, the plan of drainage therein recommended." The King has been pleased to recommend the Rev. William Cockburn, M.A. formerly Fellow of St. John's College, and Christian Advocate in this University, to be chosen into the plau. of Dean of the Metropolitan Church of York, the same being void by the death of Dr. George Markham.

CREWE has also been solicited by his friends to come forward on this occasion, but has declined the invitation. _ _ A ►node has been proposed by Dr. THORNTON of putting animals to death without pain, by which the meat looks better, tastes better, keeps better and salts better. These desiderata are effected by means of fixed air. ARCHBISHOP TILLOTSON. - Archdeacon Reeves once paying a visit to Archbishop Tillotson, observed in his Library one shelf of books of various forms and sizes, the whole richly bound, and finely gilt and lettered ; so he asked what extraordinary authoss they were, who were so remarkably distinguished by his Grace. Those," said the Archbishop, " are my own personal friends; and what is more, whom I have myself made such—for they meant to be my ene mies—by the use I have made of those hints which their malice had suggested to me, and from which I have derived more profit than from the advice of my most loved and cordial friends. I have, therefore, as you see, rewarded them accord ingly." Owing to the repeated complaints that are laid against fishermen using unlawful nets, the City have come to the determination to prosecute to the utmost extent every indi dual so offending. The practice is to clear the Thames of fish that are only serviceable to stock gentlemen's ponds, for which the offending parties obtain a great price. Mr. NELSON, the Deputy Water Bailiff, and his assistants, have received strict orders to be constantly on the watch to secure all so offending against the law. On Wednesday last, died, at the London Hos pital, James Chignell, fireman to the London Assurance Cor poration. His death was caused by being buried in the ruins at the late dreadful fire at Messrs. Constables starch-manufactory, opposite Sir R. Wigrem's ship-yard, at Blackwall. His l eg (which has since been amputated), was broken in two places, and his body very much bruised. He has left a widow and four little children, the eldest not more than ten years of age. He had the character of being an affectionate husband, an indulgent father, and a good servant. He was universally respected by his brother firemen. The widow and children re side in Love-lane, Rotherhithe-wall. It is a singular fatality, that this is the third man belonging to the London Assurance Office that has been busied in the ruins at fires, in the last twelve months. POETRY. CARMINA WICCAMICA. The EMOTIONS of a TRAVELLER LOOKING on the GULPH of SALAMIS at SUN-SET. BY J. Di- T. Loves not the soul that more than earthly rest, Which eve imparts unto the troubled breast, That holy calm, when jarring passions cease. And all within is harmony and peace ? Whilst round us all creation seems to smile, The care-worn heart forgets its griefs awhile, And yielding to its influence, feels no more The fest'ring pang that tortur'd it before : 0 ! there's a sweetness in that peaceful hour Amongst the cares of life, 'tis like the flow'r Which, flourishing amidst the lonely wild, Rises where none have risen, and smiles where none have smil'd. Then the freed soul expands, and loves to cast A look of pleasing sorrow on the past. On such an eve, it was in Grwcia's land, Musing I stood upon the sea-beak strand ; I gaz'd upon the sea, whose waters kiss Thy beauteous realm, unconquer'd SALAMIS. The silver moon her full effulgence shed Upon the tomb, where sleeps the mighty dead. The night was calm, the waves had sunk to rest ; Light breezes curl'd the ocean's rippling breast. The Athenian Chief, his course of glory o'er, Here lies interr'd upon the desert shore. Cold were the man who gaz'd upon that scene, Nor panted high for praise, remembring what had been, And dull the heart that there forebore to feel The Hero's ardour, and the Patriots zeaL Oft from that mound the peasant seems to hear Wild strains of music ringing on his ear, Of martial music, or amid the storm He thinks he sees some Chieftain warrior's form ; Or hears at times upon the fitful gale The victor's pealing shouts, the mourner's wail. Oft on that shore return to fancy's eye The splendid visions of the years gone by : The hostile fleets, with proud majestic sweep, Seem to burst forth amid the azure deep ! The fight begins, shouts rise from ev'ry crew, Defeat, Dishonour, and Despair ensue : But soon the fond illusion fades away, And ocean smiles again beneath the moon's pale ray. GENII'S of GREECE ! with fond regret deplore That spirit fled, which fir'd thy sons of yore. No more they aim at deeds of high renown,• But servile crouch beneath a tyrant's frown. Yet Nature is not changed.—Yon sky, yon sea, Are still the same as when thy sons were free : And still upon the rock, that tow'rs on high Above the waves, and mingles with the sky, A column rises 'mid the dreary waste, The lonely monument of years long past.— These are not chang'd.—llegen'rate Man alone Has lost that better feeling's brighter tone, Which nerv'd the arm and heart of those that sleep Wrapt in the bosom of yon smiling deep. No pompous tomb is their's : the sea, the strand, The streams, the mountains of their native land ; Yon silver-crested wave records their fame, The whisp'ring Zephyrs murmur out their name. 0 ! yes ! a charm, a spirit, lingers there, As loth to leave a scene so bright, so fair ; Still, still there seems to float upon the gale Some small remembrance of that wond'rous tale : Like that airial harp, whose silver tone Is waken'd by the winds of Heav'n alone. The tone is hush'd, but still we seem to hear Its magic music, wildly ling'ring near. Thus, 'mid the calm, a something seems to say : " Let kingdoms fall, let empires pass away, " Let Kings beneath a nameless column lie, " This is the grave of those that CANNOT DIE." • We deem it proper to observe, as we did respecting the Poem in Wednesday's SUN, that the tbregoing spirited lines must have been written before the present.race of Greeks had shewn themselves worthy of the fame of their ancestors, by their en deavours to throw off the yoke of Turkish oppression. RETURN OF THE ARCTIC LAND EXPEDITION. —The late accounts of this expedition which reached Great Britain, through Montreal, pre pared us, in some degree, to expect its return by the annual Hudson's Bay fleet. On Friday last, 18th instant, Captai❑ FRANKLIN, Dr. RICHARD SON, and other Officers of the land expedition, arrived in Edinburgh, having posted from the north, where they were landed from the Hud son's Bay ships. They waited on Lord MEL VILLE, the great promoter of this and all the other remarkable British geographical expedi tions at present on foot in different parts of the world ; and, before leaving , Edinburgh, which was the evening of the day of their arrival, vi sited, along with the Professor of Natural His tory, our splendid Museum. Their discoveries, we understand, will entirely alter our present views of the geography of the northern regions of North America. We are also informed that the Gentlemen of the expedition, one of whom, Dr. RICHARDSON, is a native of this city, are of opinion that Captain PARRY will, in all pro bability, be able to double Icy Cape, and reach the South Sea.—(Edinburgh Observer.) There are only four notices of intended mar riages on the door of Sunderland church ; formerly, at this pe riod of the year, seven times the number have had their names published in the church of that populous parish.—Not a single wedding has taken place within the last six weeks in the ex tensive and populoui parish of Stanhope, in the county of Dur ham, a parish where five or six marriages were usually solem nised every week! - - - The imprudence of leaving a lighted candle in the bedroom, without its being . sufficiently guarded to prevent a communication with the various articles of dress which are frequently distributed in a careless manner in those apart ments cannot be too often noticed, or too severely repre hended. An occurrence of this kind on Wednesday night last, had nearly been productive of the most fatal conse quences to Mr. William Stafford and family, residing in the Commercial-road, Whitechapel. They had retired to zest, leaving as usual a candle burning in a common candlestick, placed on a chest of drawers, with no other security than the probability of its consuming gradually to the socket.— This, however, was not the case, and the flame communi cated with some wearing apparel heedlessly laid in the same situation. Mr. and Mrs. S. fortunately awoke at the moment when the apartment was filled with smoke, and the flames were within a very short space of, and rapidly approaching to, the bed furniture. Mr. Stafford seized the burning articles, and plunging them into a vessel filled with water, which was in the room at the time, preserved himself, wife, and six children, from an untimely end. THE ARMY. One Squadron of the 3d Light Dragoons, to -gether with the Head-quarters of the Regiment, arrived at Chichester Barracks from Brighton, on Wednesday last, the 23d instant ; and another Squadron of the same Carps arrived at the same destination yesterday, preparatory to the inspection of the Regiment to-morrow. It is understood that detachments of the 3d Light Dragoons will march from Chichester Barracks on Monday next, the 28th instant, in order to resume the stations which they for merly occupied on the coast of Sussex, for the suppression of smuggling. Major-General Lord Edward Somerset, K.C.8., inspected the Royal Regiment of Dragoons, at Canterbury, yesterday. One troop of the Royal Dragoons will march, to-day, from Canterbury to Deal Barracks; and another troop belonging to the same Corps will also proceed to Hythe, for the purpose of aiding the Officers of the Revenue. The second Division of the 15th Regiment of Foot, which has arrived at Liverpool, will be conveyed from thence in the same packets which carried the first Division of that Corps to Dublin.

EXPORTATION OF WOOL. 3lawsrox-HousE.—Mr. John Ryan, cheesemonger, Grace church-street, appeared before the LORD MAYOR and Alder man Cox, to answer an information, charging him with having violated the Act of the 28th of Geo. M. entitled, " An Act to explain, amend, and reduce into one Act of Parliament several laws now in being for preventing the exportation of live - sheep rams' and lambs' wool, woolfels, &e. and other manufactures, or pretended manufactures, made of wool, slightly wrougfit up, or otherwise put together, so as the same be reduced to and made use of as wool again," &c. The Statute inflicts the penalty of 501. and the forfeiture of the article attempted to be exported, upon the person conyicted of an infringement of the law. A Custom-house officer made the seizure, as the goods, con sisting of worsted yarn made of wool, Were about to be shipped for Ghent. The•value of the yarn was about 14 or 151:' A 'searcher of the Customs said; that in the performance of his duty, ,he had discovered that a package delivered to firm by a packer for exportation„Contained the prohibited article. The picker stated,. that he had,' in compliance with the de fendant's orders, packed a • quiritity of wool to be shipped.— Witness told the defendant that the exportation of worsted yarn was prohibited, but the defendant did not countermand the order. k The defendant was fined 501. and the yarn was forfeited. He immediately paid the fine. WAGES OF AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS. Uxeox HALL.—Yesterday soon after the Magistrate, L. B. ALLEN, Esq., had taken his scat on the bench, five men, dressed in smock frocks, who appeared to be fatigued by a long journey on foot, presented themselves, and very respectfully requested the Magistrate would be leased to hear their complaint. Mr. ALLEN said certainly, and desired them to proceed. On of the men then stated, that he and his comrades had just travelled up from Woodchurch, near Tenterden, in Kent, where they all lived, and had families. They were reduced to the greatest distress in consequence of an arrangement that had been entered into by the Overseers and the Farmers ; the former of whom, when applied to for relief, instead of giving money, gave the person making the application a ticket, directed to some farmer, desiring him to employ the bearer for a number of days mentioned in the ticket at a rate of wages also mentioned, the amount of which would be deducted from the farmers' poor rate. The rate of wages so fixed by the Overseers never exceeded ls. Bd. per day for men with the largest families; and Is. 4d. was the general rate for married men, whose families were not considered large by the Over seer. The effect of this arrangement was, that no labour ing man in Woodchurch could obtain a day's employment without one of these tickets, and the labourers in general were reduced to the greatest distress. The complainants stated, that they had applied to Mr. Forbes, a Magistrate in the neighbourhood, who said they were very hardly dealt with, but that he could not interfere in the business. They then de termined to state their case to the Magistrates at Union Hall ; for which purpose they set off on Tuesday with only five pence amongst them all, and were obliged to beg their way to London. Mr. ALLEN paid the utmost attention to the poor i men's statement, and expressed his regret at their having come such a distance, when it was not in his power to rendr them any assistance, but said their case appeared to be one of very great hardship. He advised them to return to their families and work as heretofore, and strongly recommended to them to make an appeal to the Bench of Magistrates at the next Sessions, who would probably grant redress. The poor men were most, grateful for the kindness shewn to them, and said they should strictly follow the advice. The Magistrate then directed Mr. Staples,the clerk, to supply the men with money to bear their expences home, which was • instantly done, and the poor fellows left the office with the strongest expressions of gratitude lor the kindness of the advice and assistance they had received. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday after noon, between three and four o'clock, Mr. Tho mas Fledgley, a respectable shopkeeper at Lewisham, Kent, drove up in a light chaise cart to the door of Messrs. Martin and Henry Cutler, the cornfactors, in Fleet-market. Having ordered some corn in the morning, lie called to take it home with him. Mr. Fledgley was in the act of putting the horse-bag on the horse's head, when the aninal suddenly started off, and ran with alarming speed up Fleet-market and along Bridge street, Mr. Fledgley still keeping fast hold of the shafts of the cart, and endeavouring to check the career of the infuriated horse. When oppo site the house of Mr. Goldsmith, the chymist, in New Bridge-street, Mr. Fledgley was unfortu nately jammed between his own and a town cart that was coming towards him ; and, shocking to add, was killed on the spot. Mr. Fledgley has left a wife and family to bewail his untimely death. An inquest sat yesterday, and brought in a verdict of " Accidental Death," and ordered a deodand of 2s. 6d. on the cart.
