Drtudir-LANE.—The audience at this Theatre had a higher gratification last night, at the re petition of Macbeth, than they enjoyed on the preceding occasion, as Mr. YOUNG exerted him self with more spirit, and supported the part with impressive energy.—Mrs. W. WEST ob viously caught fire from his exertion, and gave . a more forcible expression to the part of the san guinary heroine.—The chorusses went off with powerful effect. Miss FonnE properly took the lead, and she was ably followed by Miss CUBITT and Miss POVEY, as well as by the rest of the vocal corps.—A. numerous audience. COVENT-.GARDEN.—The favourable opinion which Miss LACY excited by her performance of Belvidera was fully confirmed by her Isabella, last night, in The Fatal Marriage. Young as this Actress is, she has evidently devoted great attention to the study of the profession which she has adopted. Yet she has not suf fered study to check sensibility, but in the whole of her performance of Isabella it was obvious that judgment and feeling were in harmonious union. She also seems to be perfectly conversant with what is stiled the business of the Stage. We have not room to dilate upon her particular ex cellence, but we may fairly assert that the whole manifested talents of no ordinary rate, and that she is likely to prove a powerful tragic prop to this Theatre. The part of Biron naturally de volved upon Mr. C. KEMBLE on the secessionlof his brother, and he performed it in such an able manner as made us the less regret that Carlos should have lost in him so admirable a represen tative.—The house was very well attended. ROYAL WEST LONDON THEATRE.—W e may venture to say that The Belle's Stratagem has never been better supported in its two principal characters than on the first representation of the comedy last night at this Theatre. Mr. BRUN TON gave a very spirited personation to the part of Doricourt, and MSS BRUNTON, in Letitia Hardy,: completely embodied that character. In fact, she displayed so much humour in the affected rusticity, and so much grace, judgment, and feeling altogether, that it is more than a matter of surprize that she does not possess a com manding station on the winter boards. In ad dition to her high comic merit in the part, she appeared to great advantage in the incidental minuet danced by her and Miss L. COULSON, the atter in male attire. It is not a little grai lying to learn that Miss BRUNTON is as ex emplary in private life as she is excellent as an actress. The rest of the characters were sustained with a proportion of merit which is not commonly found in a minor Theatre, and we ought particularly to notice that of Mrs. BER NARD, wife of the Drury-lane actor, in the part of Mrs. Racket. The comedy was followed by two amusing farces, one entitled The Married Bachelor, and the other Bears not Beasts, in both of which Mr. BRUNTON displayed the ver satility of his talents, and was very well sup ported in both also by Mr. 11. BEVERLEY. The whole was very well received, as it deserved to be, by a numerous audience. THEATRE ROYAL, EDINBURGII.—On Friday evening the national Opera of-Rob Roy attracted a brilliant audience. Miss STEPHENS played Diana Vernon,' a part of peculiar insignificance, which furnished the medium of three beautiful airs. Miss S. sang the delightful air of " Auld Robin Gray" most sweetly. Mr. LEONI LEE played Francis Osbaldiston extremely well— better than any other we have seen in the cha racter. He introdUced a very pleasing song, " Caledonia, Land of Glory," which he executed very tastefully. On Saturday night the house was crowded in all parts to witness the repetition of The Beggar's Opera, in which Miss STEPHENS'S silver,tones obtained unbounded applause. Mr. LEE was again deservedly encored in " How happy could I be with either," Which he sang with considerable humour.—(Edin. Adver.) Miss GLOVER (daughter of the celebrated Mrs. G-LovEn, of Drury-Lane Theatre) has been performing here during the last fortnight, and has sustained most of the principal characters with great eclat. On -Monday evening next she takes her benefit, when she will appear in the characters of Amanthis, in the Child of Nature, and Little Pickle, in the Spoil'd Child ; we much hope this interesting young actress will meet , with that support and encouragement which her merit and high attainments entitle her to—Mr. WARWICK, the Manager, has been indefatigable in his exertions in producing all the novelties of. the season, and, we trust, will ultimately be re warded for his endeavours to please the pr.blic.— ( Leicester Journal, Nov. 1.) SURREY INSTITUTION.—We had supposed that this excellent Institution was, .as it well merited, in a flourishing situation, but we regret to find that the fact is otherwise, and that it is on the eve of dissolution. A very eloquent discourse was delivered on the subject in the Room, on Friday last, by a Gentleman named " JEN- NINGS. He took a comprehensive view of simi lar Institutions, from the origin' of Literature down to the present times, and supported them with evidently extensive knowledge, powerful arguments, and a truly philosophic spirit. We are glad to find that a PHCENIX is likely to arise from the ashes of the Institution alluded to, and we sincerely hope that it will expand mighty wings, and rise into endless duration. PROJECT FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE SmErrs.—Yesterday a Meeting was held at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of dis cussing the merits of a project to prevent the frequent removal of the pavement and carriage, paths, to lay down and take up pipes, &c., and for other purposes. To effect this object, Mr. WILLIAMS, of Cornhill, proposed the adoption of 'a plan, for which he had received a patent, to construct subways and passages to be conducted through the streets underneath the pavement. — The plan seemed to be generally approved of, and particularly by a Gentleman who stated that its usefulness had been experienced at Rome for some centuries, a fact of which the present pro jector does not appear to have been aware. No determination however was come to, and another Meeting is to be held upon the subject. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 2. On Thursday a party of Merchants and Tradesmen of this town dined together at Mr. Guy's, the Star Inn, for the pur pose of presenting a Piece of Plate to E. L. Oke, Esq., and a handsome silver Snuff' Box to Mr. J. Bell, for their active ex ertions in promoting the re-establishment of the Races in this town. The dinner was of the first quality, the wines of the choicest flavour, and served up in a style r that did infinite credit to Mr. Guy, and gave the highest satisfaction to all present. After the cloth was removed, and the King, the Royal Family, and the Navy and Army were drank, Mr. Maxfield rose, de puted by the Gentlemen of the Committee who raised the sub scription, and addressed Mr. Oke in the following words " Mr. OKE, Sin,—To me is allotted the most gratifying task of requesting, in the name ofa most numerous and most respect able number of your fellow Merchants, Tradesmen, and Inha bitants of this town, your acceptance of this Piece of Plate; as a trifling token of the high estimation they entertain of your late able, active, and successful exertions, in promoting the re establislunent of the Southampton Races; a measure from which the town has already experienced, and, no doubt, will in future derive great advantage. And, Sir, 1 feel confident, that I fulfil the will, not. only of the Subscribers in particular, but of the In habitants of the town in general, when I express a wish, that you may live in the perfect enjoyment of health, happiness, and prosperity." On which Mr. OKE rose, under strong feelings, and return ed his thanks in a very . appropriate manner, assuring all pre sent aid his friends in general, that he entertained a very grateful sense of their kindness ; at the same time assuring them, that as in the present, so on all future occasions, his best but humble exertions'should never be wanted in any cause in which the interests of the town or the advantage of his fellow townsmen should be in the least concerned.—Mr. M. next presented the Box, with a neat address, to Mr. Bell, whnie ceived it in a manner that spoke most feelingly the sense he en tertained of the kindness bestowed upon his humble endeavours, asserting that he should never open their favour, nor indulge himself' with a pinch, but he should recollect with gratitude the obligation his friends had conferred upon him. ALTERATIONS IN THE MANSION HOUSE.—The Man sion House is in a state of magnificent preparation for the New Mayoralty, which is to commence in a•brilliant manner. The company are no longer to be received in the ball-room, to which the Aldermen and their Ladies have often made objection, the second pair of stairs •being excessively steep and lofty. The Committee have come to the determination to make a drawing room on a level with the Egyptain Hall, and they have selected the Sword-bearer's room and Wilkes' room for the reception of visitors upon public occasions. Tose two fine rooms are to be united by a pair of immense folding doors, and the heavy stucco work on the cieling of the Sword bearers's room is to be cleared away and substituted by ornaments in mordern taste. There is an improvement now in a state of forwardness at one side of the Justice Room. The Chief Magistrate has hitherto been obliged, whenever any private busimss demanded his presence in a private room, to push through a crowd of the friends and associates of those who are accused of offences. A small room has been already constructed to the left of the Chair in the Justice Room, and to that room he can retire without being subject to any annoyance whatever. The expellee of the altera tions will, it is supposed, amount to about 4,500/. - nisi Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester arrived on Monday se'nnight at Henry: Baring's, Esq. Somerly Muse, and who, with other distinguished sportsmen, form an extensive shooting party. 'The uncommon quantity of game with which this Gentleman's estate is stocked, affords them excellent sport. 7'. • kVe IS T / nts tt *0 ; ;•5 ; .46 1 4 , ec . * S r -ER OF ' f 4, ' ll re -44s LORD BYRON. (FROM A NEW YORK PAPER.) Extract of a letter from an American Gentleman residing Italy, to his friend in Philadelphia : LEGHORN, JUNE 30. Thai great luminary in the literary world, Lord Byron, is now in this city. I have been introduced to him by Major Stith, of Virginia, our Consul at Tunis, for whom the Noble Poet appears to entertain a very high esteem. It is pleasing to see the deference and respect with which he treats us Americans. Indeed we are fortunate in having our country men and women, so happily represented in a place where that most discerning Englishman resides. He has formed in. consequence, and very justly too, a high idea of the Ame rican character and attainments. Do not think I mean to insinuate that it is • from your humble servant he draws this flattering conclusion. No ; it is from Consul Stith that he may form an estimate of our men; from his ac complished wife, whom, 1 believe, is a native of your city or Baltimore, a proud illustration of what materials Ameriban ladies are formed. _ _ _ His Lordship has invariably avoided English society for the pleasure of American ; and there is not one of us residing in this port to whom lie has not presented some token of esteem : to one a picture, to another a poem, to a third a sword, &c. &c. To Mrs. Stith he has presented a splendid volume of plates, with which she purposes, I am told, enriching your City Li .brary. In short, he seizes every opportunity to testify his re spectfor the United States of America. The new Church of St. Paul's, Portsmouth, was opened for Divine Worship, on Sunday se'nnight, when the Rev. Robert Grant, B.A. Fellow of New College, preached, to crowded auditories, sermons, introductory of his office of the Christian Ministry of the Church, from, in the morning, Romans, 10th chap. 17th verse—" So then Faith conaeth by hearing, and hearing by the word of God ;" and in the after noon, from Ephesians, 6th chap. 11th verse—" Put on the whole Armour of God." On Sunday - se'nnight the cause of gratuitous instruction of Poor Children, in the Portsmouth National Schools, was ably advocated at 'St. Thomas's Church, by the Rev. W. W. Rolland, Vicar, Of Burpham, Sussex, in a ser mon, which combined the most judicious arrangement of ori giriality of thought, with Christian principles, benevolent feelings, and a classic purity of 'style. In the evening an ap propriate discourse was delivered by the Rev. Charles Brune Renville, M.A. Vicar of Portsmouth. The collections for the benevolent object amounted to 571. Gs. 4d. The Arundel and Portsmouth Canal will be completed and opened by Christmas, connecting Arundel and Chichester by internal navigation, and passing through Arun del and Guildford to the Thames at Weybridge. A few days age', vast flocks of these elegant little birds, Motacilla liTgalus, or Golden Crowned Wren, alighted in their migration, on the Island of Selsea, and re mained there about two days, during which time several were caught by the hand, and many are now caged. Some solitary instances have been known of this bird in this part of the king dom, but the immense number of the flight in question was really astonishing. Their departure was as sudden as their arrival. THE ARMY. MILITARY REdORD of GENERAL JAMES'STUART, Late Colonel of the 72d Regiment of Foot.

At nine o'clock, the deceased complained of being very sick. From nine to eleven, she 'never spoke, and ap peared to be in a sound sleep. A little after eleven, she went to the deceased's window for some milk, and saw her face look very pale ; she was evidently very ill. She called for the nurse, who came, and offered her guel, but she could not take it ; she said, " No, Ma'am.' The nurse went away, and when she came back again, she (witness) told her, that the deceased was so very sleepy, that, in her opinion, it could not be natural. The nurse observed to the same effect, and the Doctor was sent for. He came and bled the deceased. She was then speechless ; the Surgeon attempted to bleed her. There was a burnt cup ou her box, by her bedside ; the nurse had given her medicine out of it. She (witness) then observed nasty black stuff' at the bottom of the cup. Her medicine was of a pink colour. khe observed that the sediment was like black grouts. This took place about twelve o'clock. She only spewed the grouts or black stuff to the nurse; but did not make any further remark or obserVation to her about it, except saying that it was " nasty black stuff:"—The de ceased wept a little before she saw the change in her coun tenance, and exclaimed in a state of great distress, " Oh, I shall never see my mother again." She asked the deceased on the Wednesday morning, if she had taken any of the hos pital medicine that morning? She answered that she had not. The deceased never said in her hearing that she. had taken improper medicine. She never said to the day nurse, " that there was something at the bottom of the cup like the lotion," nor did she express her alarm at the deceased having taken something she ought not. There was a bit of a quarrel between Smith and another patient ; but it lasted only about a minute. The night nursg always reads the labels on the bottles without the use of spectacles. The Jury then ad journed back to the Sun Tavern, and— Louisa Smith recalled. She stated that she was sure that the night nurse said that the deceased had taken the among media cine before the Surgeon came to bleed her. It was perhaps ten o'clock in the evening, not' later. She believed this fact could be corroborated by a patient named Hewitt. _ _ Hewitt was examined, but she could not prove the fact al leged, as she was not in the ward till one o'clock in the day. - The Jury returned the following verdict :—" Died in conse quence of taking a solution of opium administered to her, through mistake, by Ann Mortimer, a night nurse of the Lock Hospital."—The Jury expressed their satisfaction at the con duct of nurse Groves. • FOUNTAINS ABBEY.—We have learnt with re gret, that during the storm on the night of the sth ult., ten or twelve yards of the cloisters at these venerable ruins fell down. It is, however, the intention of Mr. Lawrence, in whose beauti ful domain of Studley the Abbey is situated, to have them reconstructed. COLLEY CIBBER visited the Duke of WHARTON, at AVinchendon, Buckinghamshire, and taking an airing with his Grace, the 'carriage could hardly be dragged along through the heavy clay. "it has been said," observed the Poet, " that your Grace ran through your estate ; but I defy you to run through this:" PREFERMENT.—The Rev. B. Cheese, B. D.

IVooL.--At the AyrMichaPlmas fair last week, there was a shorter supply of woollen cloth than usual, and more buyers ; the webs consequently sold brisker, and the prices advanced above one penny an ell.—( Westmorland Gazette.)

On Monday last a potatoe, of the extraordi nary weight of five pounds and a half, was dug up in the gar den of John Don Ca,ster, situate is 'Dorsey-close, near this town (Nottingham). The potatoe is of the oxnoble kind.— Nottingham Journal.) CONSUMPTION OF SMOKE.--This interesting subject appears to have occupied the attention of the Magis trates of several of the Sessions held last week; and we trust that the laudable feeling which has been shewn by our Bench (the Liverpool) on the subject, will have the effect of in 'clueing the proprietors of steam-engines aed furnaces in this town and neighbourhood of immediately adopting some means to remove the nuisance caused by the smoke issuing from them ; but if any of thein should still contumaciously refuse to introduce any of the improved methods of consuming the smoke issuing from their works, we shall be glad to see sum mary proceedings adopted against them.—( Liverpool Adver tiser.) _ _ The proprietors of Crassiield lead-mine, Alston Moor, have lately discovered a vein in their mining -field, is very productive of lead ore.—( Carlisle Patriot.) A rich Hindoo lately died at Benares, who had been a great patron of the llrahmins and Ascetics, and had devoted large sums of money to building temples, col leges for the poor, &c. &c. Twenty days before his death, which took place on the 7th of November, 1821, he presented the following address to the inhabitants of Benares :—" I have lived• in this world a long time (about eighty years), without being able to acquire any knowledge of the Supreme Being ; and I have all the while met abundant reasons to convince me, to the very bottom of my heart, that an uninterrupted happi ness can never be formed in this world. But as my soul seems shortly about to quit the body, I beg your forgiveness of my faults, and bid you my last farewell." SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Saturday last, Mr. Gibson, saddler in St. Andrews, went out to the Links for the purpose of shooting rabbits. His gun flashed, when he took it from his shoulder and placed the butt end on the ground. While in the act of taking the powder-flask from his pocket ite order to reprime, the gun suddenly went off, and, dreadful to relate, the shot struck him on the chin, and dreadfully lacerated the whole of the left side of his face. It unluckily happened that no person was near him at the time, and the unfortunate man lay undiscovered in the open air till the next morning, when, ater a desperate effort, he reached'a honse on the borders of the Links. Medical assistance was speedily procured, but we regret to say that there are but 'slight hopes entertained of his recovery.—(Cupar Herald.) HORRIBLE DEPRAVITY.—Last week a precog. ration was taken before the Sheriff of Fifeshire regarding a child which had been found murdered at Sunny brae, near Dunfermline.

M ELANCHOLY SUlClDE.—(Notthigham Nov. 1) —Yesterday afternoon, soon after dinnner, the body of a young girl was found in the new drain in the meadows, close to the canal bank, on the west side of the Navigation Bridge. There was not above two. feet of water in the drain, and she lay with her heels upwards. Assistance was immediately pro. cured, and she was carried into the house of Mr. Brown, at the Navigation Inn, where, on examination, it was found that she was quite dead ! As she was not knots* her frock was taken • off, and being wrapped in a linen cloth, she was laid upon some straw, under the brew-house window, in the yard, and for several lours Wilford-street was thronged with persons, to look at the body; her face was somewhat swelled and discoloured ; she had no cap or bonnet on, but her black hair was fastened with a comb, and her printed frock hung upon the shutter above her. About eight o'cloh an Inquest was held upon the body,`before H. ENFIELD, Gentle man, Coroner, at the Navigation lnn, when G. Shuttleworth, a boat-builder, deposed to the manner in which 4)e was found ; and a female declared that she examined the body in the prsfence of Mr. Higginbottom, the Surgeon, and there was no "dark of violence whatever appeared, upon her, per son : on hearing this testimony, the Jury brought in a ver dict, that she was found drowned; but by what means was un known.—When the Inquest was taken, her name was supposed to be Maria Devon, but on inquiry , this,morning, we learn that her name is Jane Brown, and she nowlies at the house of her father, at the top of North-row. She was between 14 and lb years of age, .and her principal employment was to run lace with Mrs. Smith, at 4489, Coolpit-lane.
