Tqrrents hours, continued to pour down upon the mountains for erN th en , " °ll rs, swelled the rivers to a degree which has not been -v4t for many years.

It is well calculated to amuse the pass ing hour by the variety of its comic characters, and to promote kind affections and the interests of morality by the serious part of the fable. — Mr. ELLI.STON, whose talents chiefly appear in characters of a gay and whimsical description, gave a very judicious and interesting support to the part of Lord Townly. Mr. CoorEtt, in figure, good sense, and fi.eling, is well calcu lated for the part. of Manly, in which he ap peared to advantage. DOWTON was quite at home in Sir Francis ; and Mrs. DAvisoN and Mrs. W. AVEsT very ably supported the parts of Lady Tozvnly and Lady Grace. We entirely agree with some of the daily Critics in repre hending the facetious tricks of 'Squire Richard and Miss jenny at the back of the stage while the dialogue is proceeding in front. — This sportive gesticidation, though adopted .by precedent, is not sanctioned by justice. It is injurious to the other performers em ployed in the scene, and unjust to the audience, -as the noisy laugh of the galleries impedes the progress and due operation of the fable. Wo have heretofore entered our protest against these pantomime interpolations, and; are surprised that . the other Performers have not opposed it, in ,• justice to the audience and to themselves. MR. THEODORE HOOK. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. St it,--Some of the daily Papers having publish ed a Report of the Audit Board on my case, which, however confusedly drawn up, and obscurely expressed, means to con vey grave imputations against me, I trust that you will permit me to state that I never saw that Report till I saw it in the Nevispaperz: ; nor could I have been aware either of the terms in which, or the grounds on which the Auditors have ventured to make such insinuations. I shall lose no time in making my appeal to the proper au thorities ; in the mean while, I trust that the public will feel that I have suffered no ordinary hardship in having imputa tions of such 'a nature promulgated under the sanction of offi cial authority, without having had the opportunity of being heard in reply. I pledge myself to be able to prove that this Report is a series of blunders, mis-statements, and exaggera tions, as gross in point of fact as they are absurd and discredit able in point of reasoning and arrangement. It is the more necessary that I should trouble you with this statement, because I have laid before the Lords of the Trea subt observations on a former Report of the Auditors, also printed in the Newspapers before I saw it, which might, with out this explanation, be mistaken for a weak and inefficient answer to the Report now in question. I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, London, Nov. 11, 1822. THEODORE E. HOOK. MR. BOWRING. -The following is an Extract of a Letter from Boulogne, published in an Evening Paper yes terday " Boulogne, Nov. 9. In reply to your inquiries relative to Mr.. Bowring, I haye to inform you, that nothing whatever has transpired since his sixth secret interrogatory, which took place a few days ago, and will, it is supposed, be the last. The questions asked during this examination had no relation whatever to the let ters or papers taken from the prisoner when arrested, but, like the former, is said to have touched on matters altogether foreign to the charges insinuated against Mr. Bowring in the first instance. As those who occasioned the seizure of our countryman seem to be influenced by the various appli cations to' bring him to trial, or specify the crime for which he was arrested, and thus detaided, it is proper that his Ma jesty's Government and the public should know, that a Bri tish subject has been confined nearly five weeks, without an acte d'accusation being brought against him ; and that of the above period thirteen days were passed in a species of solitary confinement. You are already acquainted with the spirited steps taken by Mr. Canning and Sir Charles Stuart on this sub ject. I understand the answer to Sir Charles has been—that where the tribunals interfere, his authority ceases to have any effect. With such a vague reply, how strange that no trial should be instituted." Yesterday morning, soon after eight o'clock, the Duke of CAMBRIDGE arrived in town from Wimbledon, where his Royal Highness had been on a visit to the Count and Countess ST. AN TONIO. Soon after his Royal Highness pro ceeded to Hyde Park, attended by his Aide-de- Camp in Waiting, and. reviewed the Royal Horse Guards. Yesterday the Duke of Y ORK held a Levee as Commander in Chief, at his Office in the Horse Guards, which was attended by between twenty and thirty Military Officers. The Lords of the Treasury have granted a fund for the messengers belonging to Ctirlton- House, to do away with the unpleasantry they have laboured - under for some years, in conse quence of there not being any advance regularly permitted them, on going journeys ; there not being any precedent for granting the required advances. The compensation that was granted to the servants belonging to his late MAJESTY'S establishment, in lieu of meat, wine, &c. for their lives, and then to die away, is to be stopped, from last Christmas, from all those, who have retired on a pension. In many instances some halve received it seven or eight years.--(Morn ing Paper.) It is reported that papers have been found upon some of the insurgents taken in Castelfollit, which compromise several persons about the Spa nish Court, and will render fresh precautions necessary at Madrid. A packet has arrived from Rio de Janeiro, with letters to the 14th September. No political events of any importance are mentioned. Sir Thos. HARDY sailed on the 14th from Bahia, for the protection of the English trade there. The Conway had arrived from San Blas i with a cargo of dollars. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS: The Marquis of Lansdowne, at Lansdowne-house, Berkeley square, from Bowood-park, Wilts ; Sir Jn. Harrington, Bart., in Berkeley-square, from Bognor-lodge, Sussex.

The Duke of Montrose, and,the whole of his family, are still residing at his seat in Scotland. His Grace has found his health greatly improved since his residence in the North. Mr. Ruddick, his own messenger, has been with him the whole of the time. The Dowager Marchioness of Londonderry is still living quite retired at North Cray, with the exception of her relatives and a few of her most intimate friends., Her Ladyship sees no company. Mr. LLOYD has signified his intention of relin quishing the contest for Shropshire on the pre sent occasion : the struggle is, therefore, now between Mr. PELHAM and Mr. CHILDE, whose respective friends are, of course, sanguine as to the success of their favourite candidate. The day of nomination is fixed for to-morrow, and the writ will be issued on Saturday. We are sorry to announce the sudden death of JAMES WEDDERBURN, Esq. his Majesty's Solicitor-General for Scotland, on Thursday . night, at St. Mary's Isle, Kirk cudbright, while on a visit to his sister, the Countess of SELKIRK. • HANS HAMILTON, Esq. M.P.—We are rejoiced to state, that our respected County Representative, Mr. HANS HAMILTON, whose death has been announced in the Morning Papers of this day, has not retired from this sublunary scene. One of our contemporaries had already bestowed the parlia mentary vacancy, supposed to be thus created, upon Colonel WHITE another conferred it upon Lord ARDEE.—Mr. HAMILTON, who has been seriously indisposed, is to-day (Saturday, Nov. 9) somewhat better.--( Dublin Patriot.) The new Quakers' Meeting-house, in Castle square, Southampton, is finished, and the Catholic Meeting is held at the old Quakers Meeting-house. The former is so contrived, that it can, without difficulty, be enlarged or dimi nished. A fine sturgeon, seven feet six inchesin : length, and a porpoise, were last week. taken together in the river Exe. The sturgeon, we understand, hay been forwarded as a present to his MA- JESTY, Messrs. DOLIIY, CLARKE, WADDINGTON, and Mrs. WRIGHT, have all received notice to attend in the Court of king's Bench, at 'Westminster, to-morrow, to receive sentence.—Mrs. 'WRIGHT has prepared about 70 pages of manuscript to read in Court, stating why the Judges should not pass sentence upon her. EFFECT OF PIRACIES:—GLASGOW, Nov. 9. — In consequence of the depredations of the pirates in the West Indies, premiums of twelve guineas per cent. were yesterday given in our Underwriters' rooms on Colonial produce from Jamaica—a rate exceeding the highest paid, when the world East, and West, were arrayed in arms against us. It does seem strange, that while the seas are covered with these pirates, none of our ships of war fall in with any of them. The men of war on the Jamaica station ap iear to be wholly employed in carrying specie belonging to /merchants ' from one port to another.—( Glasgow Courier.) A Lady residing in Cupar, lately received from a friend in the parish of Balmerino a quantity of hen's eggs, among which there was one of more than ordinary size. It was boiled and opened, and found to contain, besides its proper contents, a second egg, covered with a shell, well shaped, solid, and natural. The Lady retains it as a curiosity. CANTERBURY, Nov. 12.—Tuesday, the Mem bers of the' Historical and Philosophical Society held their meeting to Commemorate the Fifty-third Anniversary of the Formation of the Society, at the Guildhall Tavern in this city. It has been the custom for the Members to have a dinner on the occasion, but in this instance, it was dis pensed with ; the chair, however, was taken, and many toasts were given —among them were the healths of the County and City Mem bers, who have contributed, by their pre sents, to enable the Society to demonstrate their lectures by more than oral proof. Many other healths were drank, and the company did not separate till a late hour. EXTRAORDINARY EFFECT OF ALARM IN A HOltsE.—A gentleman,., iu the neighbourhood of Chester, sent his servant to the Post-office on.a clumsy sort of a horse, that had never been known to leap before that day. It so happened that a glazier, who had been mending some win dows at his house, asked the servant to let him ride behind. No sooner was he mounted than the horse, hearing the crate of glass rattling at his back, started off at full speed, and coming to the lodge-gate, which was five feet six inches high, spiked at the top, and the ground on each side of it paved, he cleared it all in his leap ; and wonderful to say, neither of his riders (although it was the glazier's first appearance on horseback) were thrown from their seats, or re ceived any injury from their perilous situation. Elizabeth Tomlinson, of Ranton, near Stafford, has been committed to the county gaol, charged by the Coroner's Inquest with the wilful mur der of her husband, Richard Tomlinson. It would be highly improper to give any detail of the evidence in this , melancholy case, to which we al luded in our last Paper. After a painful and dili gent examination of witnesses, which did not con clude until a late hoar on Monday evening, the Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against the wretched woman, and she was accordingly committed on the C o roner's Warrant.--(Bir ming-ham Paper.)

At Valpairaiso, in Chili, a subscription is rais ing for the purpose of building a pantheon or burial place for Protestants, and a considerable sum has already been collected. On Tuesday last, a female passenger on board the Hawk packet, William Lee, master, from London, was safely delivered of a son, off Scarborough. Fortunately there was another female passenger on board, who was unremitting in her attention ; and the master, with the greatest promptness and humanity, put back, hoisted a signal for a pilot, and pro cured medical assistance.—( Newcastle Chronicle. ) There was on Monday a large sale of salt petre consisting of 1,000 tons of the Hon. East India Com pany's, and 500 tons belonging to the private trade. The ex traordinary accounts from Verona had an effect of the value of this article, not inferior to that which it had on the Spanish Bonds, for it went off extzemely brisk, and prices advanced from 225. to 265. per cwt. being an improvement of fully 16 per cent. Last week a servant of Mr. SNAITII, of Tun stal, whilst ploughing out a field near that place, turned up a number of silver coins to the amount of 50, of a very early date, but in high preserva tion. We have in our possession at this time ithree.of them, one of_ which has evidently been coined at York. The other t,w9,,hav,e,been struck in London. Finwitabus ,kte!c ! ,is on the rim of all three ; and. the probability is, that they are pro ductions of the reign of EDWARD Rockingham.) SURGICAL OPERATION.—Mrs. Cunningham, aged 45, of Monkwearmouth Shore, had been labouring under disease for upwards of twelve months, in consequence of an enormous malig nant tumour growing from and occupying nearly one-half of the abdomen. Her sufferings became so great, that an operation was proposed, and performed by her surgeon, Mr. Swan, on the 14th of last month. The tumour, after being removed, weighed four pounds, and, when dis sected, it was found to contain a round bone, the size of a common hand-ball, which, upon being sawn through, was found to contain a deposition ,of calcareous matter. We are happy to say that Mrs Cunnhigham is now perfectly recovered. — Durham Chronicle.) A dreadful accident happened between two brothers of the name of Davenport last week, in a field near Leominster, in Hereford shire. They were engaged in spreading the dung on the land, and the younger one having greatly provoked and aggravated the other, he, in an unguarded moment, took up a shovel that was close by him, and struck with it at his brother's head, which knocked him down and wounded the head severely ; he was immediately conveyed to Leo minster, and great doubts are entertained of his recovery. The aggressor was afterwards committed to prison to wait the result of his brother's fate. As might be supposed, it has thrown r large family into the greatest distress. — (Extract of a private letter.) ATTEMPT AT SELF-DESTRUCTION. --- 0n Mon day afternoon a decent elderly woman was ob. served walking in a melancholy manner about the wharf of Mr. WILITBREAD, near the canal-bridge, Camden-town. After cautiously looking round to see if she was observed, she knelt down and seemed to pray in a most fervent manner, after which she plunged herself into the water the depth of about 5 or 6 feet.. Mr. Coombs, a gentl man who observed her actiOns, humanely jumpe e d in, and at the risk of personal safety, succeeded in saving her from her desperate attempt. She was immediately taken to the house of Mr. Early, the Oxford Arms, near the bridge, and through the benevolent exertions of Mrs. Early, the landlady, and others, she was shortly restored. She seems a well-informed intelligent woman, and says her name is Mary Dunn, that she was provoked to the commission of the rash act in consequence of the treatment of her unnatural daughter, who turned her out of doors, and of the parish-officers refusing to relieve her distresses. In the course of the evening she was removed to the Pancras workhouse, where she was kindly received by the master, and comfort ably provided for ; but she refuses to tell where her daughter resides, or what parish she belongs to ' • and in reply to, questions put to her yes terday by some gentlemen who visited her, she exclaimed Oh ! my daughter my cruel daughter shall never know what becomes of me !

DARING FOOTPAD ROBBERY.—Yesterday a gentleman named Morrison, who said he resided in Bond street, appeared before the Magistrates, I. E. CONANT, and - RoE, Esqrs. to give information of a daring footpad rob berry committed on hum on Monday last, ntar Primrose Hill. He stated that on returning from the country, instead of coming along the public road, he cut across the fields near Primrose Hill. On coming close to the Hill, two desperate-looking fel lows, armed with tremendous bludgeons, met him and demand ed his money and his watch. On his refusal the fellows made an attack upon him with their bludgeons ; he endeavoured w wrest one of them from the most violent of his assailants, but not before he had received three severe wounds upon his head. He then endeavoured to make his escape, and ran across the fields towards Chalk Farm tavern, which he entered and made the circumstances known to the proprietor, who, with se veral other individuals, went out in pursuit of the thieves, but were unsuccessful. He said it was perfect day-light at the time of the attack. The only property he lost was a pocket hand. kerchief.
