DRURY.LANE.-The vigorous old Comedy of A New Way to Pay Old Debts brought Mr. KEAN forward, on Saturday last, in Sir Giles Overreach, one of his most popular characters. His performance was marked by the spirit, energy, and decision which appear in his general mode of acting, and his admirers, who consti tuted the major part of a very numerous audi ence, paid him the usual tribute of abundant applause. COVENT-GARDEN.-The splendid manner in which the Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is re presented at this Theatre, in point of scenery, costume, &c. &c., but more particularly the ad mirable acting of the hero and heroine of the piece, has obviously made a strong impression on the public. The House was crowded. Miss F. H. KELLY, animated by the success which attended her first performance of Juliet, brought her powers into more forcible and varied action on Saturday. It is said that this young Lady has received in structions from TALMA. If so, we are glad that she has forgotten, or cast them aside, for nothing , of his violent emotion and extravagant gesticula tion was visible in her manner of supporting the part of Juliet. On the contrary, she seemed to be wholly guided by her feelings, and her own conception of the character, and that conception was evidently the result of good sense and rellec ' tion. Her emotion at the first sight of Romeo, increased by his marked attention, was natural, and her subsequent playfulness and fondness with the nurse was easy and interesting. In the more energetic passages she was impressive with out undue violence, and in the dying scene she displayed the ability of a veteran, and was highly affecting.—Of the acting of Mr. C. KEMBLE it is difficult to speak with exaggerated praise. In every view of the character it would have done honour to the best days of the British Stage.— The warm applause of the audience was there fore a just tribute to his excellence in point of judgment and effect. We have already noticed with due praise the ilicrcutio of JONES. It was sprightly and characteristic. We ought not to pass over the merit of MEADOWS in the Apotkecais. It was chaste and affecting, and we could not but feel surprize that during the despair of Romeo, the deplorable misery of the former excited an un feeling laugh.—We were sorry to observe that Mrs. FAUCIT, who is a respectable actress, in curred some displeasure in Lady Capulet. The fact is, that she spoke in so low a tone that she was not audible beyond the neigh bouring boxes. We fear that this is an at tempt at the familiar style of Mr. KEAN, which seems in some degree to operate upon most of the male and female Performers of the day, but which, unless it is accompanied by the energy and sudden transitions peculiar to his manner, will always be found abortive. Such was the warmth with which, the tragedy was received on Saturday, that it was deemed good policy on the part of the management to follow the blow, and announce it for to-night. MISS F. IL KELLY. A Nobleman distinguished for his taste and attachment to the belles lettres has presented an elegant and superbly-bound copy_ of JOHNSON and STEEVENS'S SHAKSPEAILE to Miss F. H. KELLY, the accomplished young actress of Covent-garden Theatre, in testimony of his admiration of the genius she has displayed, in embodying one of the most difficult and beauti ful conceptions of the Immortal Bard.—( Morning theatrical annals of so successful a debut as that of the young Actress of Covent- Garden, at so tender an age. We ,are credibly informed that at her first performance she was not fourteen, and at present she is only seventeen.—( Post. ) It is an interesting and auspicious circumstance in the pro fessional career of the young Juliet of Covent-Garden, that she should have been encouraged to pursue the study of the dramatic art by Taints.. Four years sinco, in Paris,_where she had been sent to complete her education, she rehearsed several scenes of SHAKSPEARE before the French lloseius, who ex pressed his estimation of her talents in the most flattering terms, and confidently promised her future celebrity.— ( Herald. ) ( From the Glasgow Courier, Nov. 14.) The following extract from the Upper Canada Gazette, of the 12th September, will be interest ing to those who are connected with that pro vince:— A DISPATCH, Of which the following is an extract, has been received from his Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonial De partment, by the Lieut. Governor. " Downing-street, June 17, 1822. " With reference to your dispatch, transmitting an ad dress of the Legislative Council and Assembly of Upper Canada, upon the subject of compensation to certain inha bitants of that province, for losses sustained during the late war with the United States of America, I have to acquaint you, that his Majesty has acceded to a request preferred by Mr. Galt, the agent for the sufferers, that a loan shall he rais ed of 100,()00/., of which the Government here will guarantee half the interest (2,5001.) per annum) the Province providing for the remainder, which loan shall be applied in satisfaction of such claims of sufferers by the invasion, as may be established before a new commission. " The proposed measures must, of course, be submitted to, and receive the sanction of the Legislature at their first meeting. " Major-General Sir P. Maitland, K.C.B. &c." SHREWSBURY ELECTION.— Thursday the nomination I of a Candidate for the vacant seat in the representation of the county of Salop took place at Shrewsbury. The meet ing was very numerously attended, particularly by the friends of Mr. CIIILDE and Mr. PELHAM, the two Can didates. Mr. PELHAM wished the business to be adjourned ' until four days before the election—a question which the Sheriff said he could not put. J. C. PELHAM, Esq. was then put in nomination by the Honourable and Reverend RICHARD Him., and seconded by the Reverend H. BURTON. Mr. WHITMORE proposed WM. LACON CIIILDE, Esq. who was seconded by Mr. LLOYD. Both the candidates address ed the meeting at considerable length. Soon after 11r. CHILDE appeared, a net, containing a large lump of salt, was hoisted upon a pole, as a memento of that gentleman having voted in Parliament against the repeal of the Salt Tax, &c. The in scription appended to it was, " Remember Lot's wife."— The HIGH SHERIFF requested a shew of hands, which was greatly in favour of Mr. Pelham. Several of Mr. hilde's par tisans were very roughly treated by the mob. There is great commercial activity in the port of Amsterdam at present, owing to the arrival of three vessels from the East Indies with valuable cargoes.

If Revelation be, as you suppose, An empty fiction, whence delusion flows, The fabled error with no evil teems, But charms me waking, and delights my dreams ; With tongue of seraph bids life's troubles cease, And points to paths of pleasantness and peace ; Nor will its comforts fail, when fails my breath, But like an angel bless me ev'n in death ! And should the pleasing hopes its voice inspires Delusive prove when aged time expires, The fond delusion, from all mischief free, Hereafter will not, cannot injure me; But think, if its tremendous threats prove true, 0 think, what then,' Sir, will become of you!

A Gentleman of this county, whose connec tions in India are of the first rank and consequence, has favour ed us with the following extract from a letter, dated from Cal cutta, 15th April last, and written by a Gentleman enjoying the friendship and confidence of the Governor-General:— " Interested, as I know you to be, in India and its affairs, you will have great pleasure in learning the general tranquillity and consequently the augmented comfort of every corner of this vast Empire. The management of Lord Hastings, as he himself believes and hopes, is about to cease. If he has suc ceeded in meliorating the condition, as well as promoting, the interests of his employers--and there is no well-in formed person here who doubts the fact—this desirable end has been effected without burdening or embarassing the Company : for on the close of the last official year, the Go vernor has cash accumulated in the Treasury, beyond what he set out with, more than sufficient to discharge every os tensible addition made to the debt during his Administra tion. But to have employed this fund in - the liquidation of the debt, would have been worse than idle ; and the distress that would have been entailed upon the community by such an operation, may be judged of from the fact that the Government 6 per cent. annuities (interest paid in India only) have recently borne a premium of 20 per cent. Yet when the Marquis of Hastings !arrived lin India, the same description of stock was purchaseable at a discount of 12 per cent. From these facts, it is obvious that the Governor's account with his employers will not stand amiss; and I may farther add, that since the 30th April, 1814, the close of the official year, the average of the an nual supplies from India to England has very near quintupled the average of the twenty years preceding." —( Dumfries Courier.) Mr. MATTHEW'S took leave of the theatrical public at Baltimore (14th ult.) in a farewell Be nefit, which produced upwards of 1,000 dollars, the house being crowded to overflow. Whilst Mr. KRAN was recently phiying Rich ard the Third, at Carlisle, he was unfortunately cut near the eye with his own foil, when fencing with Richmond, and the mark still remains. A rich old Gentleman constantly calculated the state of his health by the rise and fall of the mercenary attentions of pretended friends and relatives. Some little time before he died, his physicians would have persuaded him that he was,much better; it would not do; he had just discovered he had six fatal symptoms in his case, —three presents and three visits in one day from his dear friend Mr. 11. Some Gentlemen were lately conversing on the ill effects of hard drinking on the constitution, when one adduced a very old Gentleman of their acquaintance, who drank, very hard from his youth, and still continued the practice, declaring that he lived by it. cc It is impossibl e , Si r ," • said another, " he lives in spite of it ; no one lives by bad habits." " Pardon me," observed a third, " you forget old clothes men." THE ARMY. THE DECCAN CAUSE. The further proceedings in this most important cause, in the ultimate decision of which almost the whole of the Army in India feel so deep an interest, stand adjourned to the 10th of December next. MILITARY RECORD OF GENERAL EDMUND FANNING, Late Colonel of the King's American Regiment of Foet. This Officer was originally bred to the Bar, but called into active service and the defence of his native country by the troubles and commotions which arose in it. In consequence of the incursions of the Indians on the frontier of North Carolina, in 1759, the Militia of Orange County was em bodied by a law of the Province, and the command of it, with the rank of Colonel, given to him by his Excellency Governor Dobbs. In runnn the boundary between the Cherokee Indians and the inhabitants of North Carolina, in 1766, this Offi cer was employed to raise a corps with the rank and pay of Colonel, for the protection of that service. In 1771, he again raised a Corps to suppress the insurrection in North Carolina, and commanded, on the 16th of May the same year,. the left wing of the first line in the battle of Alla mance, in which action the insurgents were totally routed and defeated. Ile was driven from his house in New York, in 1775, by the Continental troops, who seized his effects, and pur sued him on board the Asia man of war, under the protection of which ship, and that of the Phcenix, he remained with Go vernor Tryon till the arrival of the fleet and army under Ad miral Shuldham and General Howe the ensuing summer, when he landed with the King's troops, and continued with the army till the 11th of December following, when he received a warrant from Sir W. Howe—" To raise a Regiment, to carry arms under the orders of the Commander-in-Chief, for two years for the time being, or if required, during the rebellion in North America, to receive the same pay, and to be under the same discipline as the King's regular troops."—Colonel Fanning obtained his Commission from Sir William Howe, the 11th December, 1776, and served with his regiment during the whole of the American war, in the course of which he was twice wounded. In consequence of services, Sir Henry Clinton recommended him and his corps to the King for perma nent rank and half pay, in reply to which Lard George Germain wrote—" As it appears by the Deputy Inspect ing General's report, that the King's American Regiment, which stands first upon the list of those you have recommended, was raised at a very early period of the rebellion, and was nearly completed in a short time, and has since been constantly employed in active service in the field, where it has more than once been distinguished for its gallant and spirited behaviour in action, particularly at the affair at Rhode Island, on the 29th of August, 17711; under the command of Major-General Sir Ro bert Pigot ; his Majesty has been pleased to approve of your recommendation of that Regiment to be put on the American establishment ;and you will be pleased to notify it accordingly." On the termination of the war, the idea of an American esta blishment being laid aside, Colonel Fanning, on his return to England in 1782, stated his claim to British rank under his warrant, when he was informed by the Secretary ofi State, that giving him-rank from the date of his Commission from Sir W. Howe, might interfere with the subsequent promotion of some other Officers, but that he should have it from that time : his Commission, therefore, as Colonel in the British Army was dated 25th of December, 1702.—Colonel Fanning was appoint ed Major-General on the 12th of October, 1791 He was pro moted to the rank of Lieutenant-General in 1799, and appoint ed General in 1808.—Gen. Fanning died in 1818. War-Office, Nov. 15, 1822. Ist Royal Veteran Battalion—To be Ensigns—Ensign Robt.

Remain at Spithead—Forte, Calliope, and Camelon. On Monday last the ship Echo, Capt. Tilfer, sailed from Cowes, with detachments of the 30th, 33d, 91st, and 92d regi ments, for Jamaica.

The Calliope chased a smuggling lugger, from Dieppe, on shore on the beach, near Brighton. Yesterday ee'nnight the Ranger, 26, Captain P. Fisher, sailed from Portsmouth, for Deptford, to be refitted. The Valorous, 26, Captain James Murray ; Clinker, Lieutenant Fager ; and Peiter, Lieutenant Curry, are come into Ports mouth harbour ; the two last named to be paid off and recom missioned. The following is an extract of aletter from the agent to Lloyd's at Dover, dated Nov. 15 :—" Early this morning a small ves sel was discovered on shore on the Flats opposite to this place, and it blowing very hard from the S. to S. W. every exertion was immediately made by Mr. Sherriff, an officer of the Preventive Service, No. 24, Tower, to endeavour to save the lives of the crew (who were distinctly seen making signals for assistance.) This officer procured a small fishing-boat, and with his men suer ceeded in launching through a heavy surf; but just before they reached the vessel, they broke their rudder, and were not able to reach her, and with difficulty got on shore again. They were then joined by Mr. Jell, officer at No. 23 Tower, who, in the most prompt manner, with his men launched their galley, and accompanied by Mr. Sherriff, succeeded in reaching the vessel, but too late, as she had upset, and all on board perished.— From the boat that had been washed on shore, she appears to be the smack Providence, of Deptford, Payne, master, and supposed a fishing vessel. Too much praise cannot be given to Mr. Sheriff and Mr. Jell and crew, for their humane ex ertions." ANECDOTE.—PORSON was once travelling in a stage coach, when a young Oxonian, fresh from College, was amusing the ladies with a variety of talk, and, amongst other things, with a quotation, as he said, from Sophocles. A Greek quotation, and in a coach too ! roused our slumbering Profes sor from a kind of dog-sleep, in a snug corner of the vehicle. Shaking his ears and rubbing his eyes, I think, young Gentle. man, said he, you favoured us just now with a quotation from Sophocles; do not happen to recollect it there. " Oh, Sir," replied our tyro, " the quotation is word for word as I have re peated it, and in Sophocles too ; but I suspect, Sir, it is some time since yen were at College." The Professor applying his hand to his great coat, and taking out a small pocket edition of Sophocles, coolly asked him if he could be kind enough to shew him the passage in question in that little book. After rum maging the pages some time, he replied, " Upon second ' thoughts, I now recollect that the passage is in Euripides."— " Then, perhaps, Sir," said the Professor, putting 'his hand again into his pocket, and handing him a similar edition of Euripides, " you will be so good as to find , it for me in that little book." The young Oxonian returned again to his task, but with no better success, muttering, however, to himself, " Curse me if ever I quote Greek again in a coach." The tittering of the ladies informed him that had got into a , hobble. At last, " Bless me, Sir," said he, " how dull lam ! I recollect now, yes, yes, I perfectly remember, that the passage is in lEschylus.' The inexorable Professor returned again to his inexhaustible pocket, and was in the act of handing him an 1 iEschylus, when our astonished Freshman vociferated, " Stop the coach—holloah, coachman ! let me out, I say, instantly— let me out_; there's a fellow here has got the whole Bodleian library in his pocket ; let me out, I say—let me out; he must be a Porson, or the Devil," COURT OF KING'S BENCH—(Tnis DAT.) BLASPHEMOUS LIBEL. THE KING V. WILLIAM CLARKE. On the Court being full, this morning, this de fendant, who was tried at the Sittings before last Term, appeared on the floor of the Court, and Mr. GURNEY moved the judgment upon him for publishing, in the Strand, a blasphemous libel in a work called Queen illab. The CHIEF JUSTICE read his minutes of the trial, and extracts from the libel, which partly was written in poetry, and in prose. The first part principally consisted of a discussion upon the divinity of Christ, and the arguments adduced to deny it. The poetic part was merely a dialogue. The defendant put in an affidavit, praying for mercy, and stating his wife and family were re duced to great distress, that they were entirely depending on him for support, and were he con signed to a prison, they would be without home or food. Mr. GURNEY sent in two affidavits, stating :hat the work was still sold by defendant. Mr. CLARKE then addressed the Court in miti- gation. The Judges consulted for a short time, and The Cuicr JUSTICE ,told the prisoner that as the Jury had recommended him to mercy, the Court had every desire to be merciful to him, and if he would give up all the impressions of the wcrk he had, and enter into recognizances to appear when called upon, the Court would not now proceed against him. The defendant agreed to do so, and was al lowed to go at large on an understanding to come up in a fortnight, in the interim endeavouring to enter into the proposed arrangement. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

THE MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 18. The arritals of Grain and Flour last week were unusually large, but the wind having been boisterous since Friday last, the fresh supplies of this morning are only moderate. The Flour trade being nearly stagnated by the great quantity of that article now on sale, our millers in consequence made very few purchases of Wheat today; and although the finest par eels are not quoted lower, yet last week's prices could not be obtained for any other sort. Barley has sold heavily, and is rather cheaper. Beans and Peas do not go off freely, but the prices are without variation. The Oat trade has differed ma terially by the immense supply of last week, and the prices are reduced from Is. to 2s. per quarter since this day se'nnight.

NEW LIGHT HousE. : —ln the North of Ire land, where the tenets of the Scottish Presby terian Church are prevalent, a schism has long existed by the introduction of Socinianism, the followers of which claim the title of the New Light, whilst their Trinitarian opponents are dis tinguished as the Old. This local distinction gave rise recently to the following whimsical anecdote : " A son of Neptune was travelling by the mail-coach which runs between Londonderry and Belfast, and in the course of the journey happening to see a meeting;-house which had been recently erected convenient to the road, asked a fellow-traveller what sort of a house that was ? " A new-light house," said the other, referring to.the doctrines taught in it. " A new ilea house," said honest Jack, " damn my eyes and limbs but it is the queerest situation for a light-house that I ever saw—what could the land-lubbers mean by erecting it at such a distance from the shore ?" CURIOUS VlSlT.—Thursday evening, a curious circumstance occurred in High-street, White chapel. An ox, which had escaped from one of the slaughter-houses, got into the Horns public house, walked along through the passage into the parlour, to which he had to ascend by a few steps, and there intruded himself on the company to their no small' astonishment and alarm. Screams for assistance were raised by the gentlemen in the room, but the animal, contrary to all expectations, walked peace ably about the room, smelling at the glasses, and on the appearance of Mr. SbITTIIERS, the landlord ; it walked out of the room.
