The two prisoners having been so securely hound together, that both of them fell, when BUCKLEY received the shot, it is not probable that they were efficiently aiding the rioters in an attempt at a rescue ; and we Confess that we do not see on what other gr,ounds than those of the violent resistance of the prison ers themselves, or of an endeavour on their part to escape; the Yeomanry could be justified in Putting one of them to death. It is absolutely indispensable that this melancholy affair should be rigorously investigated.

'RISE! LAW APPOINTMENTS.--Mr. Sergeant. VANDELEUII, we now understand, is the person aPpointed to fill the vacancy created in the Court of King's Bench, by the retirement of Mr. Jus tice DALY.

Mr. KENNEDY hag been appointed by the LORD CIIANCELLOR t o the vacant Commission of Bankrupts.—(Free ?non's Dublin Journal.) °II BERVANCE OF THE SABBATH.—At the late ii T e refordshire Sessions, the Chairman, the ReV. in his Charge to the Grand Jury, made th e following observations :---" You have heard tf a(l ) Gentlemen, the King's Proclamation for e punishment of vice and immorality, and f l i nr the b e tt er obs e r v anc e of th e Lo r d's-d a y. llocY me then to suggest to you one means nt promoting the latter object, viz. by paying Your workmen and labourers their weekly earn ings at some other period than on the Sa -s°d :a v evening. For if it be done at •that time, it is too probable that the morning of the Sab 4th will be employed in procuring the necessaries, ior the little comforts they can obtain for the fol :?wing week. And this will be the real cause, or the pretended excuse, for the neglect of those duties w hi c h, as goo d su bj ec t s , an d as goo d Chris tians, they ought to perform. If I may venture tO Speak upon this subject from the expe tu'llce of some years, the Friday evening or some °tiler time will be found equally convenient to the employer, and give to the workmen the don "le advantage of expending at the best market the sle n d er earn i ngs o f th e wee k, an d o f devot ing the Sunday to its only proper and lawful objec During the year 1821, the number of prisoners Z'unnitted to the custody of Mr. BEEBY, of the '"‘v Prison, Cl e rkenwell, by the various Magis trates in th e Metropolis, amounted to 4,622, 1,26 8 of whom were committed from Mavlbo rough-street Police-office.

DknaY-LANE.--The Tragedy of Venice Pre set-red was last night represented at this Theatre, with novelty in the performance of the three principal characters. Mr. KEAN, who, we be lieve, appeared before in the part of Jaftier for his own benefit, resumed the part last night. If his person displayed a " swashing and a martial outside," as Rosalind says, we should have thought him much better fitted for the part of Pierre. There is, too much of mournful tender ness in Jailer for the " fiery qualities" of this' actor. However, in those passages which 'ad mitted of energy and spirit, he acquitted hirrt self with his usual success, and altogether ren dered the character striking and impressive.— COOPER, as might be expected, was " a.fine, gay, bold-faced villain" in Pierre, of which he displayed a resolute and animated representation, throughout. Miss EnmisToNE, encouraged by her success in other parts, ventured upon Belvi- 1 dera, perhaps one 'of the most difficult charac ters in the round of the tragic drama. She gave at least a good outline of the part, and in some of, the more pathetic passages was very affecting. They were all very well received, and consider ing the. novelty of the performances, and the high dramatic merits of the piece, we expected a more numerous audience. COVENT Gm - tin:N.—Miss F. BRUNTON, who belongs to a family of considerable theatrical repute, came forward last night at .this Theatre in the part of Julia. She possesses the advan tage of a good person in stature, face, and form altogether. According to report she is about eighteen years of age. It cannot, therefore, be expected that iu one of the delicate and difficult parts of SIiAIiSPEARC she should be able to bid defiance to criticism. She must necessarily have been embarrassed in appearing before a London audience for the first time, and due allowance ought to be made for her consequent timidity.— It was very evident that from the effects of instruction,and the lights of good sense, she fully comprehended the character. In the more ener getic passages her powers were hardly ade quate, but her general performance was marked by feeling. In her intercourse with the Nurse there were some touches of humour which lead as to suppose that she would appear to advan tage as a comic Actress. She was, of course, well received. Mr. MACREADY, for the first time, appeared in the part of Romeo, and it is very creditable to his zeal for the Theatre, which induced him to undertake a part that is certainly not the best adapted to the nature of his talents. The "fiery T,ybalt," if it were a character of sufficient importance, would be better fitted to him than the whining lover. In all the passages, however, which demanded a high and impetuous spirit, he was at home, as the phrase is ; and if his theatrical character is not exalted by his per formance last night, it certainly is by no means deteriorated. On account of the indisposition of Mr. JONES, for whose absence an apology was offered, the part of Mercutio was assigned to Mr. ABBOTT, a ready, bustling, and' spirited per former. The Drury-LatteManager seems to he reviving the good old practice which prevailed in the time of GAniticx, the very best days of our Theatrical History, viz. by presenting an inter change of parts among the higher performers.— Sometimes GARRICK would perform Richard, Macbeth, Hamlet, Lear, and other first-rate cha racters, and then assign them in turn to BA any, Mossor, HOLLAND, PoweLL, and other distin guished actors of the time. Such is the tradition, and such the record of the play-bills at that period. The practice was calculated to ex cite emulation among the actors, and pro portionably to increase their respective merits, as well as to afford more gratification to the audience. Now we find that KEAN is to appear again in the part of lago, in which he was before successful, and that COOPER is to resume that of Othello. It is said, indeed, that Mr. KEAN is only to play Ingo once ; hut we trust that his zeal for the Theatre will induce him to contribute his powers towards the revival of the good old practice to which we have alluded, and which will certainly tend, by exciting ambition, to the general improvement of an art so gratifying to the People, and so capable of being rendered one of the most attractive Schools of Morality. A Doer, took place, on the 12th inst., in the Bois de Boulogne, near Paris, between Lieut. C k, of the British Navy, and a young French officer. The quarrel originated about a fair damsel, who was for some time the file ent re ileum of a leading Member of the Chamber of Deputies. About two years ago the wife of the Deputy, hearing of the connection, dispatched her son to Brussels, which her husband was leaving to attend the Session at Paris, for the purpose of preventing the lady's following him to the capital. The young man arrived too late to do any good ; the father was gone, and the lady a stage on her journey. The son rode post after the diligence, and overtook it. His first business was to abuse the lady most soundly ; but, such is human nature, they had scarcely travelled twenty miles before the frail one had entrapped the son as well as tho father, and she entered. Paris as his chere antic. It seems that Lieutenant C k, who was a passenger in the coach at the time, lately saw the lady in the gardens of the Turneries, with a French Gentleman, who proved to be an Officer. The Lieutenant, being taken by sur prise, uttered an exclamation, not very credit able to the lady, and the Officer instantly challenged him to give satisfaction for having of fended a lady who was under his protection. They met, and (what does not always happen) they fought. The Frenchman received a shot in the right arm, and there the matter terminated. DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH.— When PRINCE EUGENE went to consult the Duke of MARL BOROUGH, in his tent, the night before the great battle of Blenheim, the Duke with his charac teristic parsimony and attention to little, in the midst of great things, snuffed out two of the four candles that were burning on the table, and said, " We can talk without so much light."

There was a meeting of the Fox Club yesterday at Grillion's Hotel, Albemarle-street, Lord Holland in the Chair. The Duke of Montrose entertained a distinguished party on Wednesday, at his house, in Grosvenor-square, among whiCh were, Count and Countess Munster, General Taylor, Colonel Stevenson, Mr. Haile, &c. Yesterday Lord and Lady Gwydyr entertained a select party of fashionables, at their residence, Piccadilly Terrace. Yesterday Count Carman entertained a select party of dis tinguished foreigners, at his residence in Portland-place. In the evening his . .Excellency had a grand concert. Mrs. Coutts, on Tuesday last, again enlivened the county goal of Staffordshire, by giving the prisoners, nearly 250 in number, a plentiful dinner of roast beef, plum pudding, a half.. quartern loaf, and a quart of ale to each. On Friday last, the Lord Chancellor of Ireland and Lady Manners entertained at dinner his Excellency the Lord Liett tenant and a large party of distinction. On Thursday,' the 17th instant, the Mayor of Cork, ED WARD NEWSOM, Esq., entertained a' distinguished party of Fashionables at dinner, amongst whom we noticed the Lord Audley, Lord Colville, Sir John Lambert, Sir Wm. Chat tenon, the Very Reverend the Dean of Cork, Capt. Fitzcla rence, Sir C.

This highly-respected and venerable Peer, we are happy in being able to add from authority , is, as well as he has been for some time past.—(Birmingham Gazette.) . WESTMINSTER HALL—NEW COURTS OF LAW. The Hall is, now entirely cleared. The Coronation Galle ries, &c. which were sold by Lord GWYDYII, as Lord Great Chamberlain of England, to Messrs. PAGE and Co., and by them disposed of by auction, have been, taken away. A good deal of the property sold uncommonly'well ; much of the timber, for instance, although it had been used, nearly produced timber yard prices ; and some of the decorations were bought for high sums, to be kept as memorials. The removals of the last por tions of. the property were completed yesterday morning ; and this afternoon Messrs. PAGE and Co. were to return the keys of the Hall to Lord Gw YDYR. Westminster Hall is to be open to the ingress and egress of the Public as heretofore; but as there are some considerable repairs to be perfected, it is not expected that this can conve niently take place before the meeting of Parliament. Men under, the direction of the Board of Works have already com menced their " labours. There are many of the windows to be repaired ; the renovating and colouring of such parts of the walls as could not be got at while rite galleries remained, have to be done; and the figures that used to appear above the se4s of the Lord Chancellor and the King's Bench Judges, are to be again placed under the grand window in renovated niches. The Law Courts are not to be restored within the Hall; with the exception of the stone staircases leading into the Courts of Exchequer, of the Duchy of Lancaster, &c. which are on each' side of the Hall-gate, the Hall will he entirely clear. The ar rangements for the erection of the new Courts have already com menced. They will be raised on graces now unoccupied, or to be cleared, in a line with the stone buildin trs facing Henry V I Ith's Chapel and St. Margaret's Church. The occupiers of Oliver's, and the Exchequer Coffee-housts, of the large wine .cellars's (Mr. BELLAmrs), and of some portions of the apartments in the stone buildings, have already been served, by the BOard of Works, with notices to quit as early as possible. The plans of the late Mr. WYATT have been partially followed, but the whole are arranged and revised by and under the direction of Mr. SoAN I:, the architect, who is attached to the Board of Works. Mr. SoANE's plans have frequently been under the considera tion of the Lords of the Treasury, assisted by the advice of the Judges, &c. The design is to erect four additional Courts ; namely, for the Lord Chancellor, the Vice-Chancellor, the King's Bench Judges, and for the justification of bail. The whole to be in line with the present Courts of Common Pleas and Exchequer, without the western wall of the Hall, but having entrances leading from Westminster Hall, as well as from the 'open street before the stone buildings. These alterations are to be begun after the conclusion of the present Term, and the Nisi Prius Sittings by which it will be followed; in the mean time the requisite clearances will be made, such as getting out various occupants, &c. where the preparations will not interfere with the proceedings in the existing Courts, and the comforts of the Judges. The exterior frontin,, ,, St. Margaret's Church will be finished so as to correspond and be uniform with the stone buildings al ready erected; and the range of buildings will terminate on the present scite of Oliver's Coffee-house. CROSS READINGS.-The following curious sen tences occur in the journals of the week, by reading across two columns instead of attending to the divisions : Yesterday afternoon Lord Eldon entertained a select party at a cheap soup shop in the vicinity of Rosemary-lane. That delightful singer, Miss Stephens, is, we have heard, to make dreacyill . havoc among ,the unfortunate Irish peasantry. Miss Ilallande, who now figures as Macheath at Covent Garden, is to hold a commission in the Horse Guards. Yesterday morning the Cabinet Council finally determined to perform the ofteipiece of' the Miller and his Men. On Tuesday there was a Board at the Trea sury to consider of a New Way to Pay'Old Debts and Who's Who? 'GENERAL SUTTON.-General SUTTON, brother to Sir RoBERT SUTTON, was very passionate, and calling one morning on Sir ROBERT WALPOLE, who was . quite the reverse, found his servant shaving ihirn. During the conversation, Sir Ro bert said, 4 C John, you cut me ;" and continued the former subject of discourse. Presently he said again, 44 John, you cut me ;" but as mildly as before : and soon after he had occasion to say it a third time ; when Sutton, starting up in a rage, said, swearing-a great oath, and doubling his fist at the servant, 46 If Sir Robert can bear it, I cannot; and if you cut him once more, John, I'll knock you down." On Monday evening the tragedy, of Brutus was performed at the Newcastle Theatre, and introduced Mr. YOUNG, after an absence of nearly two years, as Lucius Junius. 4 FU 4 POETRY.

SINGULAR METHOD OF HORSE-RACING AT ANCONA IN ITALY. The horse-course is more than an English mile in length, confined by two lines of rope running through the tops of posts about four feet from the ground, forming an avenue about forty yeards in breadth. Previously to the day of starting for the prize, such horses as arc intended to be run, arc led by their grooms, and for several days are exercised within the space or avenue intended for the sport, until they became familiar with the-spots : nt the extremity of the course two poles are raise 1, to which is attached a ribbon, well covered on both sides with red ochre. At the time of commencing sport, which is an nounced by the firing of a gun, beating a drum, or sounding a trumpet, the grooms bring forth, their horses, and place them in proper order for starting at the first post, for the horses all run here without riders. The moment the gun is fired for starticg, each grOom whips his respective horse with some degree of severity, and to proinote the greater speed, little balls with sharp points in them are hung to their sides, which, while the horse is employed in the race, act like so many spurs, lacerating the animal's sides with severity. They have also pieces of tin foil fastened to their hinder parts, which, as the animals rush through the air, make a loud, rustling noise and frighten them forward. The gun fired as the signal for, starting, serves also to give notice that preparations may be made to receive them at the goal. IVhen the horses have run half the course, another gun is fired, and a third when they have passed the distance. To ascertain, without dispute, which horse has won the race, the horse is sought for that burst the ribbon, and that one, upon whose chest the red ochre mark is Ibund, is proclaimed the victor. The late Earl of ABERCORN, who, with great goodness of heart, was famous for a certain state liness of behaviour and quaintness of expression, made extensive plantations around his mansion of Duddiston House, near Leith. On being com plimented by Principal ROBERTSON " on his trees having increased greatly in size since his last visit to Scotland," he replied, with great gravity, " they have nothing else to do." CATULLUS.—Anindifferent pleader asked CA.• TULLVS, " Have I not succeeded in making a very moving speech i" 44 Certainly," said he ; 44 for some of your audience pitied you, and the rest walked out of Court." On the formation of the Lawyers' Corps of Infantry•in Dublin, it was whispered to the re giment that a certain popular Barrister, who was lame, and with whom Mr. CURRAN was particu larly intimate, intended to offer himself as a re cruit. This so chagrined Mr. CURRAN that he was determined, if possible, to save him from the mortification that he knew must inevitably at tend upon this application, namely—getting- him self laughed at for his vanity, and rejected as un fit. The day following that upon which Mr. CURRAN obtained this information, he stepped up to the blemished Barrister in the Hall of the Four Courts, whilst he was in confab with an eminent Attorney, and with his bewitching, but incorrigible vivacity, accosted him, CC Ha ! L--, so you're going to list?" " I believe I must join," said the other consequentially. " You are in a great hurry to be shot!" was the replication. "For what ?" demanded the other. " For disobedience of orders," said Mr. CURRAN. " For by G—, when you're ordered to march you'll halt." All present were confounded, save the wit himself, who wheeled off to another group, with whom he gossipped as gaily as if he had ,pever said " halt!" Yesterday an Inquisition was taken at the Black Bull, Pop lar, before J. W. Unwin, Esq. Coroner for Middlesex, on the body of a female, apparently about 30 years of age,resp , c'ably dressed, found drowned in the Limehouse canal. Verdict — Found Drowned.' An occurrence truly distressing took placa yesterday in Cheapside. A young lady, 17 )eirs of age, daughter of Mr. CORMICK, Manchester warehouseman, in Wood-street, in crossing the street II here there was a stop of carriages, stumbled and fell, and before she could recover herself, a hackney-coach passing at the time, went over both her legs and broke them to pieces. She was taken home in a dreadful state, and every assistance was immediately procured. Not the slightest blame could attach to the driver of the coach, who was going at a slow pace. THE MARKETS.

DOVER, JAN. 23.—A fine new steam-vessel, called the Arrow, came into the harbour from the River, and is intended to be employed in the service of the Post Office for the con veyance of the mails between this port and Calais. She is scout 10 feet longer than the other steam-vessels here, and has the appearance of a frigate. The opening of the new sluice has been the means of elf:dually clearing the bar from the mouth of the harbour ; and it is now considered that the entrance will, in future, be clear from all impediment. The Commissioners of Paving have come to the determination of lighting this town with gas. On the •22d tilt. was launched at New York, an elegant ship called the Columbia, intended to take the place of the J:im:s Monroe, as a packet between New York and this port, anti to be under the command Of Capt. Rogers. She was to sail front New York on the 10th inst. Another vessel called the Florida, has also been launched at New York : she is designed for the Liverpool trade, and will, we are informed, be commanded by Capt. Matlock.—( Liverpool Advertiser.) It is calculated that the average number of deaths caused by the overturns of stage-coaches, within the year, exceeds half the number ex ecuted in England and Wales, that is forty-eight killed, and more than twice that number of limbs destroyed: The mischiefs are attributed to the top-heaviness of the vehicles, which are allow ed to carry ten outside passengers, with luggage reaching two feet in height above the roof of the coach ; or thirteen passengers, if without luggage. A coach so laden must overturn, if the wheel be raised 131 inches from the ground : and should it be in rapid motion, it would be far from ,afe for the wheel to go over an obstacle half that height. To prevent such accidents,,it is proposed that a very small portion of lug gage be allowed on the roof, and only four pas sengers ; the rest to be placed in a seat behind.— (Sheffield independent.) vvarl ma ss Well of 3 coal ° odd, fur- t firs pro- 'ab l e ough pin; rest, me" s from the Ito)/ It to re fa rally Igerl 3 the 'Or for 3uffi- e not p ro° 'am . the )Ull,* 311 oh hem ent, aid not PPI and !oill" r for
