THE THEATRES. COVENT - GARDEN. --MT. PEARMAN, whose talents are well-known to the public, as he has been during several seasons one of the established Performers of the English Opera House, was last night transferred to this Theatre. lie came forward as Henry Bertram in the Opera of Guy Mannering. It is needless to say more than that he was well received, and acquitted himself re spectably. He introduced the popular air of " Scots wha hae," which he sang very well, ac cording to-the modern taste, which demands more than the simple melody. On this occasion Mr. PARREN assumed the part of Dominic Sampson, in consequence of the secession of Mr. LISTON from this Theatre. The character was well assigned as the performance evinced. Mr. EVANS, who recently appeared at this Theatre as Farmer .Ashfield, now came forward as Dandle Dinmont. This was one of poor EMERY'S most successful efforts, and therefore Mr. EvANs is entitled to the greater indulgence. He certainly wanted the natural energy of his predecessor, but he gave a good outline of the part, and was favour ably received.—Miss M. TREE performed the part of Lucy Bertram, with her usual unaf fected simplicity, and gave the airs with delightful sweetness. Miss LOVE was time Julia Mannering, and it is but justice to her to ob serve that she has very much improved in acting, and that her songs were, given with taste and feeling. Mrs. FA ucrr gave Meg Merrilies with terrific effect, and with some touches of pathos that render the character very interesting. The Opera was followed by the Romance of Cherry and Fair Star, which, as usual, was much in debted to the support of Miss FOOTE and Mrs. VINING, but which in itself forms a very magni ficent series of supernatural wonders. 11A ymARKET.—The benefit of Miss PATON took place here last night. The Opera was to have been Lord in a Village, but the difficulty of getting all the characters ready in due time, and with suitable effect, occasioned the substitution of The Beggar's Opera. The number of the audience, however, manifested the impression which her talents have made on the public, and the estimation in which her private character is held, by the considerable assemblage of friends who mustered on the occasion. She exerted all her powers to testify her gratitude. She had a powerful support in the Macheath of Mr. DAVIS, whose powers are more fully developed as an actor and singer, and who promises to be come one of the chief favourites of the public within his sphere of action. WEST LONDON THEATRE.—The enterprising spirit of Mr. BRUNTON is attended with success. The following are novel attractions at this place, viz.—Family Pictures, The Wedding Day, The Marriage Act. Anaconda continues to be also very attractive. AMERICAN THEATRICALS. (FROM THE WASHINGTON GAZETTE, OF SEPT. 4.) Mr. COOPER played Macbeth last night in a masterly style, to a very numerous and respectable audience. His commanding and majestic figure, his face, " as a book where men may read strange things," his graceful action, his chaste delivery and correct conception of the character, all con spired to give a charm and interest to the per formance, which could only be imparted by con spicuous merit and real excellence in the histrionic art. His interview with Lady Macbeth, after he had " done the deed," was certainly( a most sublime picture of the terrible passions that con vulse the bosom of a murderer. He was literally frozen with horror, when, in speaking of the in voluntary prayers of the grooms in Duncan's chamber, he demanded— ".But wherefore could I not pronounce, Amen ! I had most need of blessing, and amen Stuck in my throat !" A number of our citizens, who are familiar with Mr. COOPER'S acting, declared that he ne ver played better, with more energy, or with more judgment. The choruses of the Witches, with the music of Dr. A►txE, were full and well executed. The farce of The Rendezvous closed the performances of the evening, and left the audience in fine humour for the Honey Moon to morrow. A SET of SWINDLERS have for some time in fested this town and neighbourhood, and practised a species of fraud which requires exposure. They are a bill-drawing gang, purporting to reside at Halifax, from whence they dated their spurious paper. The mode they adopt to raise the cash is by one of the party going to a public-house, professing to be short of change, offering his bill for discount, with the alloiNance of the usual premium; if he succeeds, the person discounting the bill is plundered of the whole amount ; if not, he seldom fails to borrow a few pounds, leaving his bill as security, for which, of course, he never calls again. The following is a copy of a bill offered on Monday last in this towil:— _ _ " Halifax, 9th September : " Two months after date pay to Mr. Isaac Wilman, Six teen Pounds Sixteen Shillings. ' JOHN ROBINSON.' " To Jones, Loyd, and Co., bankers, London." Wilman is well known amongst the butchers in this town, and it is said had raised hundreds of pounds in this way.— ( Leeds 1 - Welk:gem:cr. ) EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—At Streatham, on Sa torday night, between ten and twelve o'clock, the house of Mr. Cox, a foreign merchant of great respectability, was broken open and entered by a gang of thieves, and robbed of plate and jewel erry to the amount of 6001. The family have been some time at Tunbridge Wells, and Mr. Cox had left his house in the care of his gardener, a very confidential servant. Previously to their departure the plate and jewels had been removed to a room on the second story, where the usual precaution of locking up was observed. — The gardener, after having fastened the doors of the house, retired to bed before ten on the Sa turday night, in the room above that in which all the valuable portable property was kept. He heard no noise, but on going down stairs in the morning was astonished at finding the window of the pack parlour open. Upon examing the shut ters, he found that a large hole had been bored with an instrument called a " centre bit" under that part of the shutter at which the fastenings inside are made, kind that the thieves having bored the hole were enabled to make an easy entrance. He then ran up stairs to the room in which the most valuable property had been de posited, and found that the door had been broken open and that all was gone. Some ill-looking fellows had been seen in the neighbourhood be tween ten and twelve o'clock, after which they disappeared. LORD AND LADY PORTSMOUTH. We mentioned on Tuesday the singular scene witnessed at Whitchurch on Saturday last, in consequence of Lady PORTS MO UT H having been advised to claim admission in opposition to the wishes of the Noble Peer, her husband. The following addi tional particulars have since come to our knowledge :—The gen tleman who accompanied Dr. Bankhead to the mansion of the Noble Lord was a Solicitor. What they had to state was not very favourably received, and the legal Gentleman was forced out of the grounds by two of his Lordship's domestics, who were followed by his game-keeper, armed with a gun, which is said to have been loaded. He was not released from the grasp of the persons who expelled him, till he had been conducted beyond the lodge. The gates were then chained together ; they were further secured by bolts an uncommon length and strength, and men were stationed to watch at them by day and night, to guard against any new invasion. Lady Portsmouth did not make the expected attempt on Saturday ; but after resting for some time at the White Hart, retired from 'Whitchurch.— She at present remains in the neighbourhood, being as we are informed, on a visit to Sir H. Wilson, whose residence is about three miles distant from that of Lord Portsmouth, and it is her intention to return in a day or two for the purpose of acting on that resolution which she was expected to carry into effect on Saturday. The inhOitants of the neighbouring town take a lively interest in the struggle, and seem anxious for her Ladyship's success, of which some assert that there cannot be the smallest doubt, while others declare that she will never enter the mansion of this Noble Lord again. There are those who imagine that she intends to oppose force by force, and that the Lodge-gate must shortly become the scene of a most obstinate conflict ; but persons who are probably more in the secret, understand that she will make a formal claim to be ad mitted, merely for the purpose of taking legal measures against those by whom she considers herself to be unlaw fully excluded.--( Morning Post. ) ;I%er.- ~ 4 , .

ROYAL SEA-BATHINO INFlRMARY.—Yesterday morning, at a General Meeting of the Governors of the above Insti tution, held at the London Coffeehouse, her Royal Highness the Duchess of KENT was appointed Patroness. On the 11 instant, her Royal Highness honoured the Infirmary with a visit, and was received by J. Taddy, Esq. of llartsdown; T. Warre,'Esq. of Ramsgate, and J. A. VVarre, Esq. M.P., *three of the Vice Presidents, who attended for the purpose of receiving her Royal Highness and her illustrious attendants.— Dr. Brown introduced the Noble Personages through all the wards, exhibiting to them such patients as were most worthy their attention, and fully explained the benefits of the Institu tion. Amongst the patients were those who, after being blind for years, had obtained their sight, the lame had been enabled to walk with strength, and numerous persons (if not cured), who were incapable of attending to business in order to main tain their families, received relief and strength sufficient to fol low their different occupations, and give bread to their guishing children. The Duchess and her humane attendants appeared much gratified, and were pleased to express their ap probation of the Charity in a most feeling manner when they retired. SUFFOLK BIBLE SOCIETY.--On Monday last (7th inst.) the Suffolk Bible Society held its eleventh Anniver sary Meeting in the Guildhall; Lord BRISTOL in the Chair. The report of the proceedings for the year, stated the satisfac tory progress of the Society, and the great good it had effected. A series of customary resolutions was moved by the Gentlemen, amongst whom, Lord Calthorpe and W. Wilberforce, Esq., M.P., addressed the assembly at great length. The Minister of the French Protestant Church, in London, produced a copy of the New Testament in Russ, being the first opportunity afforded the natives of the great northern empire of reading the Gospel in their own language; he stated likewise, that the number of Bible Societies were now 2,400, and that not less than five millions of copies of the Holy Scriptures had been distributed. We learned, likewise, from one of the Reverend speakers, that the Bible had been translated into 100 different languages, through the means of the societies, and that translations were now in progress of 40 more. The Rev. Mr. Elliott regretted that the society had met with so little encouragement in Bury, as in a population of 10,0001. souls, not quite 1001. per annum had been subscribed. The Guildhall was not at all crowded, nor was the meeting attended, as far as we could see, by any of the resident Clergy of the Established Church, and only by a very few from the neighbourhood. In the lay part of the assembly there was a very palpable predominance of the dissenting interest.—( Bury Gazette.) POTATOE GROWING EXTRAORDINARY.-Mr. W. Richardson, of Crowle, took up last week upwards of one hundred and tw en ty sac k s of fine potatoes from one acre of Crowle Yorkshire Moors, commonly known by the appellation of Yorks/tire Waste, and which has been used as a turbary, &c. from time immemorial ; and to walk upon which ground three years ago was not feasible. The land was planted the last Fri day in May.—( D oncas t er G aze tt e .) ~ rhe barn, corn, &c. lately consumed by fire, on the premises of R.

POETRY. LIFE, DEATH, AND ETERNITY. A shadow moving by one's side, That would a substance seem— That is, yet it not—though descried— Like skies beneath the stream ; A tree that's ever in the bloom, Whose fruit is never ripe; A wish for joys that never come— Such are the hopes of LIFE ! A dark inevitable night, A blank that will remain ; A waiting for the morning light, When waiting is in vain ; A gulf where pathway never led To shew the depth beneath : A thing we know not, yet we dread— That dreaded thing is DEATH ! The vaulted void of purple sky, That everywhere extends, That stretches from the dazzled eye, In space that never ends ; A marling whose uprisen sun No setting e'er shall see; A day that comes without a noon, — Such iS ETERNITY SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

A Poney Race followed, interesting only to the owners. There was another Stake, which did not fill. OTTER HUNT. Monday se'nnight, Mr. Graham, of Riggfoot, in the parish of Kirklinton, and Mr. Thomas Musgrave, of Fieldhead, in the parish of Irthington, near Carlisle, being informed of the haunt of a very large otter in the river Cambeck, near to Wal ton-rigg, repaired to the place, accompanied only by two dogs, a hound and a greyhound, the property of the former Gentle man. They had scarcely reached the spot when the otter ap peared, and the chace commenced ; and such was the ardour with which they engaged in the pursuit, that in the short space of three quarters of an hour, the animal was destroyed. It measured in length upwards of four feet; the circumference of the body, tail, and fore legs, twenty-nine, and eight inches re spectively ; and the weight of his carcase was upwards of 3st. BOXING. The plains of Moulsey yesterday attracted the usual miscel laneous assemblage of pkMans hornet's, dummy-hunters, pat termen, fogle-men, and talent ofi every description, in its line.— It was to see the fight between Higgins, the Romford baker, and Nash, the Kingston man, both having acquired a fair character in the prize ring. Oliver and Peter Saunders second ed Higgins, and Tons Jones and a good Kingston Commoner picked up Nash. Betting was even, or the Kingston man for choice. Round 1. Some smart exchanges of blows without producing any visible effect; Nash was thrown from the close by the su perior strength and length of his antagonist. 2. It was evident, in this early stage of the battle, that Nash could not get in, to place his favourite right-handed body blow as he wished. Romford had too much length for him, and he hit him with the left hand on the head, and threw hlni. 3. Nash made all the play, but he could not get to do his work to his mind. Romford met him with the left hand on the head, and floored him. The backers of Nash here began to get leery, finding he had not length enough to do execution ; but some of his blows told tales. In the fifth round Romford drew first blood, and threw his adversary again. He continued to lead in the battle till the 20th round, when he was stopped short by a tie-up hit in the kind. Oliver's good seconding saved the battle from being lost at the time, by rousing the man, and stifling any mono syllable like " enough," &c. In two rounds more Romford recovered himself, and won the fight in rather more than an hour. It was closed by Kingston's receiving a heavy hit in the act of falling. FRAUD IN THE BUTTER TRADE.-On Satur dey the Right Honourable the LORD MAYOR, together with Counsellor C ASTLES , as S enesc h e l o f Saint Thomas's Court and Donore, sat at the Mansion-House, to inquire into a charge of Fraud, alleged to have been lately com mitted by some of the : shippers of butter, to the great injury of the character of the port of Dublin. The investigation was instituted by the Craners of Dublin, who state, that the fraud of which they chiefly complain is, that the brand of the Inspectors (whose duty it is to mark the qualities of lets, 2ds, 3ds,. and 4ths, &c.) has been forged. What led to the present investigation was, that some brands were found in the possession of a man named Dennis Mooney, a brand-cutter, and who had the Inspector's brand bringing home to the person who employed him. Mooney had been summoned before the Lord Mayor on Friday, and attended on that day, accompanied by Counsel: it appeared, however, that the summons then granted was informal. A fresh summons was then issued, un der the 30th section of the Butter Act, requiring Mooney's at tendance as a witness, at four o'clock on Saturday, at the Man sion-house. Counsellor Green attended at the hour appointed, on the part of the prosecution, but there was no appearance on the part of Mooney. The service of the summons on Mooney was then proved, and a record of his non-appearance taken by order of the Lord Mayor and Counsellor Castilles, who evinced, on this occasion, a most laudable determination to protect the character of the export trade of this city. A criminal proceed ing will, we understand, be instituted against Mooney.—(Dub lin Morning Post.) it has been recently stated, that a young lady had made her escape from a Nunnery in the west of England, and was forcibly returned to her prison." The establishment alluded to is that at Coxside,near Plymouth. One of the nuns (not ex actly a young lady, being on the verge of 70), who has been afflicted with occasional mental de ' rangement for the last twenty years, whilst out airing in the garden, finding the gate open, went out, and was walking up the road when she was met by a respectable gentleman of Ply mouth, who, from the singularity of her dress and wildness of manner, spoke to her, and inquired where she was going. She replied, 44 to see her brother the Duke." This answer convinced him that she was suffering under mental derangement, and he informed the gardener of the establish ment of the circumstance, with whom she re turned in the most peaceable manner.—(Bath Gazette.) ROBBERIES AT THE THEATRES.-At the close of the performancies on Tuesday night at the Adelphi Theatre, Mr. Richardson, of West minster-road, had his pocket picked of a valuable silver watch and appendages, while standing a few paces from the box entrance ; the robbery ' was affected with so much dexterity, that Mr. Richardson did not at the instant miss the property, and though a search was almost immediately made, the offender could not be dis covered. A few evenings since a gentleman from Bristol was robbed of two sovereigns on quitting the Coburg Theatre, and although the money was deposited in his small clothes pocket, yet he did not ascertain his loss till he was informed by a person that his pocket was hanging out: The public should be on their guard against this sys tem of depredation, which is generally committed by men and boys who are well and even elegantly attired: MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

EDITOR.—In your Paper of yesterday you gave an ac count of the Verdict on the body of a female servant, whose death was caused by falling from the windows of Mr. PRESTON, in Camberwell-Grove ; • and, after the detail, you seem to in.. sinuate that she had been desired to clean the windows,—in which, however, you are much mistaken, as it was contrary to Mr. P's orders that she began them. You will perhaps have the kindness to give this room in your wide-spreading Paper, a$ the evil-misrepresentation you have already given is very hurtful. THRASHING MACHINES.—(From the Alfred, Exeter paper.)—We understand that the farmers in the parish of Hartland have hound themselves not to use their thras . .ing machines for three years, in order to give more labour to the poor. Many farmers in the neighbourhood of Bideford have also laid up their machines. On the night of Thursday sehillight, some incendiaries set fire to 'he premises of Mr. Graddon, of Winston estate, and Mr. Nicholls, of Brightly Barton, two highly respectable farmers, in the parish of Chittleham ton, near Barnstaple, whereby a barn, with fifty bushels of wheat, two linhays, containing thrash ing machines, outhouses, &c. were destroyed. It appears that the farms are about a mile apart; and as there was an interval of half an hour be tweet' the fires, it is suspected the same party were concerned. I t is supposed that the diabo lical act was committed on account of thrashing machines being used on the farms. We under stand that anonymous letters had-been found on the premises, threatening the lives and property of the occupiers. .An extraordinary picture, painted by 11 EM BRANT, has been rececently discovered, and the progress of the discovery is curious. The Pre sident of the Royal Academy saw this picture by chance, with a great mass of other rubbish and inferior productions, which were preparing for sale by auction. Sir T. LAWRENCc'S taste was imme diately struck with the merits of this picture, even in its dirty and mutilated condition ; he attended the sale, and a hammer was on the point of ratify ing Sir Thomas as the purchaser for four guineas, when a lynx-eyed dealer suddenly contended for the prize, and was the eventual purchaser for two hundred guineas. He took home the picture, had it cleaned and newly mounted, and in the first instance offered it for sale to his tasteful compe titor, whose property it now is, for seven hundred guineas. The picture is said to be the finest ever painted by Rembrant, and worth seven thousand pounds. The subject relates to Joseph and Pa.. trphar's Wye.
