The young ethaserieisia,srv, however to talk in the same strange .inan in his rigl'it senses, Sir Hudson Lowe, without hetegarding him, - proceeded to step into the carriage, re nitb y felt that a stroke had been made at him with a small , t Y° l -Ing man, who instantly withdrew out of his l't sli tet a nd H.

DRUIIY44ANE.-Therevival of The Suspicious Husband, on Saturday last, seems to promise the restoration of some of those sterling old Come dies which have been too long superseded by the flimsy compositions of the day.—ELLTSTON en tered into the spirit of Ranger, and gave anima tion to the whole. POPE gave a good portrait of the restless jealousy of Strickland. Frankly has seldom had so good a representative as COOPER. The part of Bellamy was performed by Mr. MEncEa, from the Liverpool Stage, and he acquitted himself respectably. Mrs. DAVISON returned to this Theatre in the part of Clarinda, and supported it with effective gaiety.—Mrs. WEST was the Jacintha, and it was very evident that practice will soon render her one of our best comic Actresses. Mrs. ORGER supported Mrs. Strickland with feeling and an air of domestic be following anecdote is told : When QUIN, who hated pantomimic tricks, and whose judgment required strong character, vigo rous dialogue, and probable fable, or, in other words, legitimate comedy, was consulted about a proper title for this Play, he growlingly said, " Call it The liat and the Ladder."--The House was crowded. COVENT-GAF:DI:N. - Mr. MAsos resumed the character of Young Norval on Saturday last, and while it confirmed us in a favourable opinion of the pretensions of so juvenile a Performer, it excited in us increased surprise that his first effort should have been so rancorously assailed by a diurnal Critic, who has, we perceive, this day renewed his ungracious hostility. The au dience, however, obviously thought differently, and rewarded his efforts with warm and mental ap plause. Mrs. W. CLIFFORD again displayed feeling and judgment in the part of Lady Randolph,Y AT ES gave a good outline of Glenalvon, and some of his sarcastic touches were very effective. Old Noma/ was represented i❑ a very aifecting man ner by BARTLEY, and the tragedy altogether was received with approbation and sympathy. [FROM THE CHARLESTON COURIER, SEPT. 11.] U. St: SCHOONER GRAMPUS.—A letter was re ceived yesterday, from an officer on board the Grampus, dated at St. Thomas on the 12th ult. It mentions that they made their run from this port to St. Barts. in 11 days. In ex changing salutes on entering the harbour, one of the soldiers in the fort had his arm shatter ed through carelessness, in not effectually sponging his gun, and the Surgeon of the Gram pus was invited, by direction of the Governor, to assist the Surgeon of the fort in amputating it. The officers, generally, received many civilities from the Governor, &c. of St. Barts. The trade of St. Barts. and St. Thomas is expected to suf fer materially by the opening of the British West Indies to foreigh trade. A recent Letter from Cambrai states, tha there is the greatest life in trade and manufac tures all throughout Picardy, Artois, and French Flanders. At St. Luentia a new town is actually erected, and finished with the greatest modern taste. The small towns and great manufacturing villages in the plains of Lisle are also doing a great stroke of business. The number of houses, workshops, and warehouses, daily increase. Lady NUGENT, we are happy to state, is much recovered from her late severe indisposition. Mr. M. P. KING, we are concerned to hear, has been for some time seriously ill ; and we regret to state, his medical attendants do not yet consider him out of danger. Viscountess CRANBOURN was safely delivered of a daughter on Thursday, at her house in St. James's-place. Her Ladyship and infant are both as well as can be expected. The Earl of CLANCARTY, with his family and suite, embarked yesterday morning at the Tower Stairs on board the King of the Netherlands steam vessel, Capt. N. B. BULL, for Rotterdam. The number of English residing at Lausanne and its environs, at the beginning of the present month, was estimated at 1,500. The fashionable season had just commenced ; Lady DUNDAS and her three amiable daughters gave the first ;rand ball. The evening following, Madame VAVA.• SEUR gave a magnificent ball, to which all the English were invited. Mr. JOHN KEMBLE occu pies a beautiful villa, called Beausite, adjoining the town, and bordering on the'Lake, surrounded chiefly by vineyards ; he is visited almost daily by a number of the most distinguished per sonages, and he frequently entertains select parties. DUEL.—An affair of honour took place on the 4th inst. on the frontiers, near Ferney, in France, between Sir FRANCIS VINCENT, Bart. and T. ST. FELIX, 'Esq.; the former attended by Sir JAmes WenncanuaN„ and the latter by Captain DE THEEVINE ; when after an exchange of two shots each the seconds interfered, and the parties left the ground on amicable terms. 1118. BOWRlNG.—Extract of a letter from Boulogne, dated Wednesday, two o'clock : " The packet being on the point of sailing, I have only time to say, that after a long interro gatory before the Procureur du Roi and Juge d'lnstruction, the mist au secret . has been taken off Mr. BowaING, who is now enabled to see his friends and breathe a somewhat better at mosphere. The examination related exclusively to the four young men recently executed in Paris, and had no reference whatever to the letters and official dispatch seized on his person. It is now very generally supposed that the pri soner will be set at liberty in the course of a few days. I perceive the French Papers have been as full of this singular affair as those of London." It appears by letters of the 17th inst. received on Saturday from Bayonne, that M. VILLELE, the French Minister, has treated very cavalierly the Memorial of the Merchants of that City re specting the interruption of the Spanish mails.— lie did not condescend to give them any direct answer, but merely caused an intimation to be conveyed to them by the Prefect of the Depart ment, that " the apprehensions of the Chamber of Commerce were wholly illusory."—(Eng lishman.)

She leaves to Mrs. Siddons a pair of gloves, which were Shak speare's, and were presented to her late dear husband timing the Jubilee at Stratford, by one of her (Mrs. S.'s) family.

To Christopher Garrick, her nephew, the gold snuff-box, set with diamonds, given her late husband by the King of D en mark. To Nathaniel Egerton Garrick, the snuff-box given to her ate husband by the Duke of Parma. To her nephew, Christopher Garrick, and his wife, all the plate which was bought upon her marriage ; also a service of pewter, -which her husband used when a bachelor, bearing the name of Garrick, with a wish that the same should always re main with the head of the family ; also the picture of her hus band in the character of Richard the Third, which was pur chased by her after her husband's decease. To Nathaniel Egerton Garrick, a portrait painted by Zoffany„ of her husband without a wig, which she bought after his de cease of Mrs. Bradsaw, to whom it had been given as a present.

Mr. Archer, Minister of the Roman Catholic Chapel, in Warwick-street, one hundred pounds, and a farther sum of one hundred pounds for the education of the Charity Children of Warwick-street Chapel. There are innumerable other legacies of articles of plate, jewels, linen, &c. and money to a considerable amount, but of no material public interest. Her executors are the Rev. Thos. Hackett and Frederick Heitz, Esq. To the former she leaves books and prints - to the value of one hundred pounds, and to the latter, fifty pounds in books and prints, and one hundred pounds in money. After discharg ing the numerous legacies, her debts and funeral expences, Mrs. Garrick directs the residue of her estate, including a bond for six thousand pounds due from the late and present Duke of Devonshire to the late Mr. Garrick, to be converted into cash, and afterwards invested in Austrian securities for her niece Elizabeth de Saar, wife of Peter de Saar of Vienna, for her sole use and benefit during her life, and after her death to her grandchildren. THE PARK presented an uncommon aspect for the time of the year. The number of brilliant equipages, and that of pe destrians of both sexes, whichfilled its avenues, gave it an ap pearance of life and fashion, which is seldom witnessed before the opening of the Spring season. MR. HENRY 1 - ItrixT.—Tlle following placard has been very extensively circulated in the me tropolis and environs, amongst the Radicals, from which it should seem that another public entry is in contemplation for Mr. HUNT on his revisiting London. We trust that no injudicious feelings of alarm will, by a parade of absurd precautions, convert a mere rabble of foolish spectators into a mob of rioters. Luckily the London Magistrates have more sense than their Manchester bre thren : PUBLIC ENTRY OF HENRY HUNT, ESQ. " A meeting of the different trades in the metropolis will be held at the sign of the Bull's Head, Jewin_crescent, street, Cripplegate, on Monday evening, Oct. 28, to take into consideration the necessary arrangements for giving to that per secuted individual, Henry Hunt, a public entry into London, Monday the 11th day of November next. The chair to be taken precisely at 7 o'clock. (Signed) " TIIOS. SADGROVE, Chairman. " London, Oct. 23, 1822." A GENEROUS LANDLORD.—A tenant of the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop Of CHICHESTER came to the Episcopal Palace a few days ago to pay his rent.—The sum was 2501., and at the time of payment was accompanied by the usual remark of the hardness of the times, which was answered by his Lordship's desiring his tenant to refresh himself, and to see him again, when the generous and noble-hearted Bishop presented him with 100/.! The Emperor of AUSTRIA has expressed to the celebrated composer, ROSSINI, his desire that he will take the direction of the Theatre at Verona while the Congress remains there. his Imperial MAJESTY accords to him for this service a sum of 50,000 f. ANTHONY HOPPER, ESq., of Silksworth, has given a benefaction of one hundred pounds to the Infirmary, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Sir CUTIIBERT SHARP has been appointed Col lector of the Customs at the Port of Sunderland, ViCC GEORGE ROBINSON S Esq., who retires. The Gazette of Saturday contains a notice from thc. SPEAKER, that he shall, in 14 days from the date of such notice, Oct. 24, issue his war rant for a writ for the election of a Member for Ithe County of Derby, in the room of Mr. MUNDY, deceased. BISHOP OF CLOGHER.-(Extract of a Letter from Armagh, Oct. 21.)—" I have just returned from the Metropolitan Court, where I heard the whole of the evidence read respecting the charge against the Bishop of CLOGIIER, and the sentence of deprivation and degradation read by the Pri mate—so that the business is now at an end. The Primate seemed to feel severely at the painful duty he had to perform, and the whol e proceedings were marked with the most pro found attention." ~. ~. ~ ..., t .,. ~... 4N --.-, --, __,, -4\,/ t __ 0 ' 'i'Y''N.t.,----.?"---AL--------' I t'v 4 tiV %) 4 1 1 eio . 44, 4 4 ' ' 6 W THE ARMY. . .

Pack made his half-yearly inspection of the 2d battalion of 3d Guards, under the command of Col. Cochrane, at Plymouth, on Monday the 14th, on which occa sion the Major-General was particularly pleased with the ap pearance of the Corps, and expressed himself much satisfied with the manoeuvres in the field, which were executed with great alacrity and precision. The following Garrison Order appeared in the afternoon :—" Garrison Orders, Plymouth Dock, October 14, 1822. Major-General Sir Denis Pack was much pleased with the review this morning of the 2d batta lion of the 3d Foot Guards, and feels happy in having it in his power to make so favourable a report to his Royal High ness the Commander-in-Chief of the good order and appearance of the Corps." ORDERS RESPECTING ORDERLY DRAGOONS.- Dragoons who may be employed in the conveyance of letters are to be used as sparingly as possible, and it is only in special and urgent cases, where despatch is necessary, that Letters or Reports are to be forwarded by Dragoons. The precise time at which the despatch is sent off, and the rate at which it is to be conveyed, must be written very clearly on the cover of all let ters, which the urgency of the service requires to be transmitted by Dragoons. The rate shall not, except in cases of necessity, exceed six miles per hour ; and the Dragoon must, on all occa sions, where there is no back letter, be ordered to return leisurely to his quarters. These instructions, and the rate at which he is to travel, are to be clearly explained to the Dragoon at the time he receives the despatch. PROMOTIONS.

CAPE or GOOD HOPE, JULY 12.—0 n the 9th of July, we experienced a heavy gale of wind from the N.W. and became apprehensive for the safety of the ships in Table Bay. Our apprehensions were but too well founded, as two ships parted from their cables, and are totally wrecked. One, the Sarah, is from Calcutta, bound to London with indigo ; her commander's name is Norton; he is a Lieutenant in the Navy. The other is the brig Antelope, last from the Isle of France. Ido not hear that any lives were lost. The ships in Symon's Bay rode as easy as if in Portsmouth harbour. The news from Algoa Bay is, that the settlers are suffering greatly from the failure of their crops of corn for the last two seasons. Bread and flour here are enormously high; mutton and beef is from 2d. to 2J,d. per pound.—( Hampshire Telegraph.)

Since Christmas we have not witnessed so full a market of all descriptions of Cattle as this day ; the number of Oxen in par ticular were very great, and owing to their being a dull trade they were almost unsaleable ; but we were sorry to observe amongst them a great number of very lean and inferior sorts, which shows the distress of the Country, being obliged to send them to market in their present state ; good Cattle obtain last week's prices, but the inferior qualities cannot be sold at any price.

Wednesday about nine o'clock in the morning, a fox made his public entry into Oxford, by way of Christchurch Meadow, through Merton Grove, into Magpie-lane. So unusual a visitor soon caused a tally-ho ! and poor Reynard was stopped in his career by a man at the top of the lane throwing his hat at him, which caused him to make a complete summerset ; he then ran into a small court-yard and leaped upon the roof of an out house, where his pursuers, by means of ropes, secured the gentleman, and one of them doffed his smock frock, tied it at one end, and bagged him in a Mo.

Flowers, the blacksmith, was fought on Haddington Common, Hants. The battle had been stopped, or rather, it was known the beaks meant to interpose on Thurs day, and it was then fixed to take place as private as could be on Saturday morning. The backers of the men were influenced by the honour of the thing rather than gain, and the combat took place at nine in the morning. The men had often proved their goodness in action, and Moss was the favourite at about 6 - to 5. THE BATTLE. In the first round Moss was floored at going in by a heavy facer which set the claret flying. 2. A severe fighting round. Give and take was the order of fightingin a rally of eight minutes, which spoiled the fastness of both, and drew the claret in abundance. • Moss had rather the best of the round, but both were hit to a stand still. Flowers was dropped forward by a muzzier in front of the head. 3. This round took the fight quite out of the men. It lasted seven minutes, and Moss received a heavy cross-buttock. The fourth, fifth, and six rounds were tame, in comparison with the former ones. It was chiefly throwing, in favour of Flowers, but both their heads had been so cltanceried that fea tures were scarcely distinguishable. The seventh round finished the battle in favour of Moss, in 42 minutes, by locking or unlocking his adversary's jaw. It was a severe round, and both fought until exhausted, when the lucky blow for Moss told Flowers was deaf to time, and he was carried out of the ring. CORONER'S INQUEST.—CURIOUS CHARACTER...—.
