DunUY-lirru.—Mr. KEAN hoisted the stan dard of King Richard the Third last night 'at this Theatre, and his camp was attended by in numerable followers. CovENT-GARDEN.—It is highly creditable to public taste to find that Roino and Juliet, one of the most interesting productions of, our. great dramatic Bard, is liOirS' so very attractive at this Theatre,, that, for the third time since the Open ing, it was last night- attended by an overflowing audience.—The dress boxes were filled with a more jilak k usual proportion of elegant visitors, and the rest of the audience were of a more re spectable description than we have been ac customed to see. This attraction may be fairly attributed to the pOwerful impression Which the Juliet of Miss F. H. KELLY, and the Romeo of :Mr. C. KEMBLE; have made on the public in general by their admirable performance Of those respective characters. We shall not follow the example of some of our competitors, by indulging . the public with _a critical analysis of two characters so well known, 'or a detail of the excellencies of the. hero and heroine of the piece, but simply advise them,to go and judge . for themselves, and we promise them a high treat, from the poetical beauties of the play, the splendour with Which 'it is brought forward, .the distinguished talents of the .two chief Per formers, and the general merit of the'represen lation. ROYAL WEST LONDON • THEATRE. - The , Comedy of The Wohaer , was represented last night el this. Theatre before a numerous audience. The characters of Don Felix and Violante were , supporteu by Mr. and Miss BRUNTON, with a proportion of merit highly creditable to, their talents. The comedy altogether was respect ably brought forward, and excited great applause. ROYAL COBOURG THEATRE.—ThiS Theatre, which has been closed for a very short period, re-operied last night, and though the weather was unfavourable attracted a numerous audi ence. 'Considerable alterations and improve ments An the interior have taken place even in the short inter Val. A magnificent Salooon has been constructed underneath the Box and Fit entrances, for the accommodation , of the fre quenters of the Boxes and Pit, at half-past five o'clock, and for the half-price visitors at eight o'clock—thus affording amusement till the time of admission to the audience part. of the The atre. The Saloon is in the form of a quadrant ; in the front are beautiful' panoramic views up the Mediterranean, elegantly executed.— It is - divided into three colonnades by marble columnss richly burnished with gold. On each side of the pillars are statues, from which eiTuses the gas. On the opposite side are splendid mir rors on which is reflected the quadrant, with the views, &c., so that the saloon appears to be a circle. There has been a commodious lobby erected behind the pit, on the right and left of which are corridors leading to a' staircase which communicates to the saloon. The entrances to the Box and Pit Pay-places have been rendered more comfortable, as they, are now out of sight; hitherto they were visible to the 'crowd without the Theatre. The' Saloon is the design of Mr. CAVA NAL, the Architect, and the .Panoramic. Views painted by Mr. STAI4FIELD. A piece was pro duced; for the first time, called the "' Fortress of Palazzi; or, the Mysterious Monster." A new Ballet was also presented, called " The Golden Shower ;p or Jupiter and Dance," and the whole concluded with 'fc Edward the Black Prince," The performances were received amidst L shouts of applause from an overflowing house. The • competition between the two Winter Theatres is likely, ,to be, very active during the season. A new Opera, the title of which it seems is to be Maid Marian, is to be brought for ward at both houses on the, same night, It is said that Mr. C. KEMnLE in the Covent-Garden piece is to try his talents in a new province, and to be the Friar Tuck. • Mr. BRAHAM has returned to town, and is !soon to commence his 'musical operations at Drury-Lane"fheatre. . BALTIMORE, 0c.T.1.5.—MR. MATTHEWS' FARE WELL PERFORMANCE.—This gentleman's benefit last . evening, brought, as we hoped and antici pated, a full and fashionable house; indeed, by much the largest which has been seen here for years. It was, indeed,Jull to overflowing. The boxes were completely. occupied; and, if the Hibernianism may be pardoned, there were more in the pit than it would hold. The •amount in the house was more than a thousand dollars. The anticipations of- this numerous audience, if we niay judge by the applause bestowed,' were 'amply gratified. The play was per formed with great spirit, and with unusual correctness. Goldfinch, however, came out a-head of all the other - personages, and wpas indeed prime, bang Up," The songs introduced by Mr.MArraims,were all encored with enthusiasm; and the willingness with which he complied with the calls, and the - humour with which he varied 'the interinediate recitations, gained. him just ap probation. The afterpiece was, after all, the at- traction of many, and we know of none who were disappointed. The imitations of eminent London performers. - were at once humorous and accurate —at least, pronounced so by those conversant with the English stage. At the conclusion of the performances, Mr. MATTHEWS came forward in characterond addressed the audience with great sensibility and propriety. He alluded to the , fair prospects before him when be left his native shore, but spoke in animated terms of his recep tion in this city, both in public and private. He made warm acknowledgments, and his address was received with great cordiality. Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at Grenada, 10th of October :—" This is the anniversary of the great hurricane in 1780, and we are happy to say that nothing in the appear ance of the weather indicates a blow within the range of these islands. Indeed, we begin to flatter ourselves that the season of danger is nearly past, and that we shall be spared this year from - any of the awful visitations peculiar to the season and climate," ;~: ~_ ;;~ ~ :~ . DEPARTURE of the DUKE of CAMBRIDGE and the - PRINCESS AUGUSTA for HANOVER. . • Yesterday morning the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, attended by Colonel Stevenson, the Surveyor-General, inspected the House of Lords ; • afterwards his Royal Highness visited the• Duke of York. The Duke and Duchess of Clarence, • the Duchess of Gloucester, the Duchess of, Kent, the Princess Sophia, and the Princess Feodor, camel() town to take leave of their Royal Relatives 'the' Duke of Cambridge and the Princess Augusta. The Royal - party partook of a dejeunc at two o'clock.— The time of their Royal Highness's departure was fixed for soon after that time, but which was obliged to be postponed, -owing to the pole of the Princess Augusta's carriage breaking on . its driving up to the front of the King's Palace at Pimlico. Their Royal Highnesses started at half past.three in four car-. riages and four ; Major Davidson and Col. PrOtt . attending the Duke, and Miss NVynyard'the prineess. They proceeded to the Rose Inn, Sittingbourne, Kent, to dine and sleep, and will de part this day for Calais. 4 , 4 gi --1 S . \-"" • ' V 2 :ER OY " .„4 (tti FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

INTERESTING ANECDOTE. . . -. The following fact,. which is communicated. in a recent letter froM the Danish Capital, goes far to chew, that, digressed as are many of the. En glish Gentlemen at the present .crisis, owing to_ the unprecedented decline in the value of _agri cultural produce, yet-the condition of the British Landholder is by no means so overwhelmingly low, as would seem to be the case with some of the same class of individuals in a neighbouring country • ' In the early part. of -the last month a Danish Nobleman, heretofore distinguished for his liberal conduct, not knowing, what tp do . to appease the clamours - of his tradesmen,, called them together, and thus addressed them :-,—" My good crien4s, it certainly • was my intention now, as it - has ever been, to pay • to every man his own ; but as my lands and tithes produce me literally nothing ; as persons who have obtained, loans of .me, are, from absolute necessity, unable to 'make any payment of interest ; and though willing to sell my lands to get possession of money, for necessary purposes, yet as I have been totally un able to effect a sale at the present conj,uncture, I frankly OW4 I Arri at a non plaS how to act. I may add, that fashionable as the proCeeding is now-a-days, of raising money by way of loan, my principles—which I hope will never waver— are somewhat influential in deterring me from such a measure, particularly as I do not ,See my way clear how I should ever be able to . repay the lender. I am- thus candid with you, my. friends, because I deem it my duty to 'he so : Only:advise me if I can do any thing eftectual to meet your wishes, and presto it shall be dbne immediately." The extreme candour of the Nobleman had such a soothing area upon the assembled tradesmen, that they one and all agreed to wait • patiently till the arrival of more auspiciou times,—for bad as trade was, they admitted' they were • stils able to earn a living, while they had the pain perceive, thatl an honourable man, to large lauded estates, was, from the strange vicissitude of the times, hardly competent to furnish himself with necessary food and clothes ! , FRENCH THEATRICAL. At she " Cirque Qlympic," a Melo-drame, in three Acts, has been just produced, called The Dili;euce Attacked. It faithfully represents on the stage a real diligence, with four live horses driven by a postillion, which is attacked by banditti. In' this vehicle is an old officer on his way to assist at the nuptials of his grand-daughter, to whom he carries a small marriage por tion. The diligence is robbed by the banditti, whose leader Maurice is the very man who is about to espouse his grand daughter. ,The travellers, despoiled of every thing, arrive at an inn kept by this Maurice who lends the old office some money to assist his fellow travellers, in which a marked piece of money is discovered by the officer •to be one of the pieces destined for Louise's portion. Suspicion is awakened in his mind, which being perceived by Maurice, he resolyes on his immediate death. The projects of the villains are defeated by the timely arrival at the village of a brave'oldier, whose character throughout is a mixture of unaffected gaiety and reckless valour, both of which are eminently conducive to the interest of the piece, and are finally the means of preserving the life of the veteran and pre venting his ,Louise from contaminating herself by • espousing a villain who would have imbrued his hands in the blood of tier beloved and venerable protector. The piece. is got up in the best manner. Neither decoration nor truth of acting is wanting to give it an interest in the public estimation, which promises fairly to render it a favourite for some time. • CONFIRMATIONS. -- His Grace the Art,hbishop of this province has just completed his ,confirmations through 'out the diocese of York. This worthy Prelate commenced his tour for that purpole in the summer of 1821, and the last place where his Grace confirmed in that year was Bridling ton. His Grace confirmed altogether 38,453 persons. It is worthy of remark, that there had not been a confirmation before at Howden, for 103 years ' viz. since that by Archbishop Dawes, in 1718 ; also, that at Heclon, this was the first confirmation ever held there. The total number confirmed in the diocese at the preceding confirmation, in 181 7 , was 50,815 , being 12,362 more than have attended to that rite in 1821-22.— ( Doncaster Gazette.) Lord and Lady PORTSMOUTII were living about two years ago at Bognor, in the most affec tionate manner.

MATCH FROM CANTERBURY TO" LONDON.—Lieutenant Haberden, a pedestrian, who has done some exploits in the North of England, matched himself at the 'run, last week, to walk from Canterbury to London in less time than Mr. J. Aber nethy, the Gentleman who lately won his match to Nottingham, for a hundred sovereigns. Mr. H. also backed himself to do the ground in 11 hours, for another 50. He started at three o'clock yesterday morning, and did six miles and a half the first hour; six and a half the second ; and seven and a half the third, when he ate a chicken, and halted ten minutes. He did Six miles the next hour; .six and a half in the fifth hour . ; and six in the sixth, fresh and well. 'He halted an hour and a half, and did five miles and a half in the 7th hour ; six in the eigth ; and five in the ninth ; making 55 miles anti a half in tea hours and fifty minutes. He did the other and last mile in seven- minutes and a half.—Mr. Abernethy . was to start this morning. ‘Betting is 6 to 4 against time. BoxEits.—There was another meeting at Mr. Jackson's Rooms yesterday, when some patrician amateurs at tended. Joshua Hudson, Randall, and other boxers, were also present. It was stated to Mr. J. that Shelton's backers had claim ed and got back their stakes for the fight fixed fot this day.— Mr. Jackson mentioned that he had received anonymous 'letters, stating that Shelton intended to lose,the fight, and as he (Mr. J.) would countenance Wothing but fair play, he had withheld the ropes and stakes._ Mr. Jackson, in addressing Randall, said, he had received another letter from Mr. Xlliott, stating that if Randall's backers would stay a prosecution going on to re cover 2001. which Mr. Elliot received, and which was not forfeited by' Randall, Martin should fight •him for the 5001. a side. This would be paying 300/. to fight for 500/. making it 13001. to 2001., as Randall knew enough of figures to discern. Mr. Jackson appointed to-morrow to give the 10001. up to the person who deposited it in his hands. f l'he battle between Hall, the• Birmingham-man, and Neale, the Streatham Youth, is pat oft' till Thursday next. Not one of Shelton or Martin's party were present. , Sthiday, the 17th NoverfNer, being the anni versary of the King of RANCE'S birth-day, Vis count MARCELLUS, his Most Christian Majesty's Charge d'Affaires, entertained at his house, in Portland-place, a large party of his countrymen, and the members of the Diplomatic Body. Last Friday Sir JAMES;MACKINTOSIE, was elCeted Lord . Rector of the Glasgow University for the en suing year. Mr. JEFFREY appeared in his place as late Lord Rector, and made a speech, in which he gave his reasons for voting for Sir JAMES. il.laclux•rosn in preference to Sir 'WALTER ScOTT, who had also been put in nomination. licTER.ESTING TO MEncitANTs.—Extract of a letter to a' Mercantile House in Manchester, dated Lima, June 101822: " The Hannah; from Valparaiso, with a cargo of British goods, which cost upwards of 40,0001., was condemned on Saturday last ; the trials have been pending for the last three months. Great interest and exertions were made to save the property, but all was ineffectual, as San Martin was determined not to let any thing slip through his hands, when once Within- his grasp. The Hannah was tried first for breaking the blockade ; as the Courts could not condemn her for that e they tried her for smuggling. The Olive Branch, another brig, and cargo, has ' been condemned on the suspicion of having carried Spanish property on a former voyage."—( Liverpool Akeitiser.) NEW COMET.—A luminous appearance was ob rerved in the heavens oUthe.nigkt of Wednesday last, at the distance of about a degree and a half from Cor Caro', which very much resembled a small comet ; it was viewed distinctly for ten minutes, from the hills in the neighbourhood of East Grinstead, but a veil of wane-cloud over spreading that part of the sky, it became no longer visible, and the atmosphere has since been too obscure to see it. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE:—There was consi derable agitation in the neighbour - hood of the Police-office on Thursday, from the circumstance of a person, having died, and hiS landlady selling the corpse to some practitinners of anatomy. The affair was not condUcted sufficiently secret on her part to prevent, the suspicions Of the neighbours, who gave information to the Police, from whence a person was sent to nail down the window ; ,and otherwise secure the room. • Two' persons, accompanied by another with a creel, came for the purpose of conveying away the body ; one of the foimer was apprehended, and underwent an examination on Thursday. There being reports in circulation that the man had met his death by undue means, his body was opened yes terday by order of the Sheriff, when it was found he had died a natural death. The body was interred in the evening. —(Edin burgh Courant, Nov. 16.) ACCIDENT.—About six o'clock on Sunday evening, a poor man, who for many years got his bread by , sweeping the cross way facing the Mother Red. Cap, Camden Town, was run over by a post-chaise, and killed on the spot.' PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE. — A few evenings since the inmates of the condemned cells were thrown into considerable alarm, in consequence of a . cry of " help ! help !" proceeding from one of the rooms. The unhappy men are indulged with a candle at lock-up time, to enable them to read their devotional-exercises. In one of the cells, where four men were . confined, the candle went out, and in the attempt to re-light it a spark caught the bed clothes, and in an instant the room was full of smoke. Had it not been for the prompt exertions of the turnkeys, to relieve the unhappy men, they must have been suffocated in a few minutes. SINGULAR INADVERTENCE.—We perceive that the Governor of South Carolina has issued a war rant for an election of Representatives to Con gress, in two districts, to be holden " on the second Monday and Tuesday of October next." Now, it so happens this year that the secont Tuesday comes before the second Monday. The election will therefore commence on Monday, the 14th, and terminate on Tuesday, the Bth. — (American Paper.)

About 10 it came from the W. and then to W.N.W., blowing a most tremendous gale•of wind, with heavy showers of rain and hail, which con tinued during the ,night, and ,all the day of yesterday until 4 o'clock P.M., when, the gale abated. The tide was so high yesterday morning as to be over all the quays, and forced open• the kateg of the dry doCk;'Wher - e'the brig Pacific of this port, of the burthen of 350 tons, was repairing ; the shores all gave way, the vessel immediately floated but being light, and blowing very hard, 'she upset, and has not met with very considerable damage. No other damage has happened to any Of the ship ping lying at the quays. The Liberty, Evans, from henCe to London, cut and parted all her cables in Tarbut Roads yester day morning, and ran up to the quay, where she remains in safety. A largeeloop, supposed to be the Vine, from Clare to Liverpool or Glasgow, parted from her cables and anchors in the same place and at the same time, but what has since be come of her I have not as yet heard. 'The Minor and the Fame, for London, rode out the gale in safety in Tarbut Roads. I am afraid we shall have very unpleasant accounts from sea and from the coasts, as the gale while it lasted was most tremen dous. No vessel arrived or sailed. The Ceres, Evans, from Waterford to Liverpool, was lost on West flayle on Saturday; .crew saved. . . The Fame, Ravely, from Liverpool to Sunderland, was, driven on shore on Walney Island on Friday, and it was feared would be wrecked.

HORRIBLE CASE OF MATRICIDE.—An Inquest was held yesterday (Tuesday, the 12th inst.), and adjourned to this day, before JOUN ACKLAND, and W3I. P. BRABAZON, Esirs., Coroners for Drogheda, on the body of Anne Curran, a native of Mornington, who was barbarously murdered on Sun day night last, the 10th inst. The story told by her son, who was in her company at the time, is this :—On Sunday evening he accohipanied his mother to Drogheda, to make somCpur chases. Having bought a pair of shoes 'and some other articles, be drank spirits in several public-houses, of which his mother moderately partook. On leaving Drogheda she demanded of him what money he had remaining ; he gave her some silver; and unknown to her detained ls. 3d. When they reached St. James's they were stopped by a man and two women. The man knocked young Curran down, and kept his knee on his breast whilst the other parties were robbing and abusing the old woman, whom they robbed, but they did not attempt to rob or search young Curran. They then retired towards Drogheda,. and Curran having lifted As mother from the ground, found that she was qUite dead. lie carried the body to a house at soul'' , distance on the road, and having procured a car, brought.it home. Such are the facts detailed by Curran to Alderman Smyth, before whom lie appeared the next morning with inforni ations ready drawn for the purpose of swearing them. 'But suspicious circumstances appearing on his examination, Alder man Smyth conceived it his duty to detain him until an inquest should be held, and in the mean time every possible exertion was made by Alderman Smyth and the Coroners to elucidate this mysterious affair. After a patient investigation, at-four o'clock this day, the Jury returned the following verdict " 'We believe that the deceased (Ann Curran) came by her death by abuse that she received from her son, .John Curran." Curran was immediately committed to jail.. He is a very young man, and by trade a blacksmith.—( Drogheda Journal. ) ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE. -= on Wednesday night last airiest wanton and barbarous outrage was perpetrated in Ballinea, within about three miles of this town, which, in its atrocious character, fully demonstrates the general spirit of insubordina tion that at present unhappily pervades the country. Mr. John , Faunt, of Ballinea was under the necessity of making a seizure and leaving keepers on some of his tenants for rent and arrears of rent due to him. On the night above-mentioned the house ',vas entered by an armed banditti, who, after inflicting on the bailieS the most brutal treatment, tied them neck and heel§, and dragge,l them a considerable distance from the house; they afterwards carried away the entire of the property. One of the bailiff's was in the most imminent danger of his life : After some hoar% absence, one of the ruffians returned, and asked him, he alive ? Supposing ,it to be a friendly inquiry, he re plied, that he was; when, instantly -the villain drew a bayonet, and inflicted several. wounds on his body. The.next night, John C. Lyons, of Ladiston, Esq., with pat promptitude and vigilance for .which he is Oistinguihed, scouted that parl of the country at the head of a , party of police, and appree hended several persons' of suspicious character, one of ,tvitom,, was sworn to, as a principal in the above outrage, and fully : committed for trial at the next Assizes.—( Watrneath Journal.) • The packet froM Lock No. 16. came into`Pbrt Hopetoun 'at ten on 'Wednesday night, crowded with - pasren,- gers. Although there are lamps at the landing place, its un finished state renders it dangerous to persons unacquainted with the spot. Among the passengers were several Meru , bers of the Edinburgh Theatre returning from the, Was-. gow Theatre. Whilst porter was arranging their luggage, on a truck, a Gentleman with his trunk deviated in the darknes's from the path and fell into the canal. Several' persons gave assistance, and, just as he was got out, anothfr splash was heard, and a second person immersed, whp proved to be Mr. Hillyard of the theatre; fortunately he was also quickly extricated, with the loss of an umbrella in the struggle. While his friends were advising him to hasten. home, a third splash was distinctly heard, accompa nied with an outcry of—" A woman has fallen in, hand the boat-hook." The general agitation increased, but the feelings of a husband and daughters were extreme on covering that Mrs. Nicol, having stepped aside in search of her umbrella, had 'gone head foremost into the basin'. By the activity of the porters and boattift, she was, however, ;SOM. rescued from her perilous situation, having retained sufficist presence of mind to conclude that her clothes would support her until she seized the proffered hook. She walked home as quickly a 4 possible, and , every thing being done toprevent cold, we are happy to state that this distinguished favourite of the public, and deserving private character, has not suffered any material injury.--(Edinburgh Courant, Nov. 6. ) • 6 9F' IT • 7 C.
