THE THEATRE. , HaYstaitKET,—The impression which Miss PATON has made upon the Public, both as an actress and a singer, in the lively parts in which she has previously appeared, naturally excited high expectation respecting her performance of Polly in The Beggar's Opera, and the house was last night filled soon after the commencement. Another attraction of the night was a new Macheath in the person of Mr. Davis, whose figure and talents enabled him to appear with great advantage. Miss PATON proved, on this occasion, thaf she is capa ble of excelling in the pathetic as well as in characters of delicate humour. Her performance of Polly was very interesting in the acting, and her songs were given with first rate skill. Her 4 C But he so teazes" was so admirably sung that the universal applause of the audience obliged her to sing it thrice, a compliment which we believe is novel. " Oh, ponder well" was also highly applauded, and " Cease your funning " was equal in beauty to any thing we have heard. But we have not room to do justice to all her excellence. She found an admirable counter part in Mr. Davis, who is one of the best Mac. heaths that we have attended. His figure is manly and well-made ; his deportment is easy ; he speaks with a full conception of the cha racter, and he marked one passage which shews more good sense than we have observed in any of his predecessors. The passage is this, " Polly is confoundedly bit-1 love the sex, and a man who loves money may be as well contented with one guinea as I with one woman." The emphasis has been usually placed upon love, but Mr. DAVIS properly placed it on sex. Ile was encored in " When the heart of a man," and " flow happy could Ibe with either." In fact, he sustained the character throughout with a manly air, with feeling, and with expression, and such was the impression of the Polly and the•Macheath, that the Manager was induced to waive other entertainments announced for to night, and to repeat The Beggar's Opera.— Peachum and Lockit received all due support from TERRY and WILLIAMS, and Mrs. PEARSE gave the same to Mrs. Peachum. We would advise the person who performed the part of. Filch to recollect the counsel of SHAKSPEARE, not to " let the Clown speak more than is set down for him." The author of the Oper'a has drawn the character in such a manher as not to require the vulgar addition of modern slang, which is disgusting to the audience in general, and can only be intelligible in the haunts of thieves ; and his uniformly calling Polly, Podly, while all the rest of the characters give her her proper name, has no recommendation of humour or meaning. The new arrangements at Drury-lane Theatre, we find, are proceeding with celerity, as might be expected, considering that an army of work men, of various kinds, are incessantly employed. Mr. GEo. RomNs, •it seems, takes an active part in these operations ; and where he is concerned, there is not likely to be any want of facility, vigour, and dispatch. Miss CHESTER, who figured with promising success at Drury-Lane Theatre two seasons ago, is engaged at Covent-Garden Theatre. She is a very beautiful woman, and by all accounts is much improved as an Actress. It has been said, but we suppose ludicrously, that LISTON has been offered an engagement at The King's Theatre. The public would, no doubt, be glad to see Signor LISTON any where. Miss LACY, who has performed with consi derable success at Dublin and Edinburgh, with Mr. C. KEMBLE, Mr. MACREADY, and Mr. KEAN, is to make her appearance . at Covent Garden Theatre, in the part of Belviderd. Report speaks highly of her person and talents. She is the grandaughter of Mr. LACY, who formerly possessed a moiety of Drury-Lane Theatre, but who %vas ruined by two easy confidence in man kind, and the unguarded bhevolence of his dis position. Mr. LACY was himself a respectable actor, and commenced his theatrical career under the immediate auspicies of GARRICK, who would not have encouraged even a friend with no preten sions. The repairs and alterations at Claremont, since the departure of his Royal Highness the Prince LEOPOLD, haVe been carried to a great extent. Most of the floors, with the exception of the state rooms, have been taken up, and new ones laid down, owing to the dry rot having affected them to so great an extent. The principal part of the house, with the outbuildings, has been fresh painted, and the state rooms 'nave received a great addition of splendour. The servants have been on board wages the whole of the time, not one being dismissed owing to his Royal Highness's absence. Marlborough House has likewise been greatly ►.reproved.—His Royal Highness is soon expected in this country, it is stated. BIGAMY.—The Paris Court of Assize has now before it the case of Julien Dantecourt, charged with bigamy. It appeared that he had received with the second wife 3,000 francs, and that her father had besides made some advances, to assist him in mechanical speculations. After the money was all spent, it was discovered that he had another wife living, and the complaint of the father-in-law brought him before the court. It appeared from his defence, that he had quarrelled with his first wife; because she would not accompany him to see the performances of Madame Saqui. In the heat of the dis pute she left the house, and threatened to drown herself. Dan tecourt pretended to believe that she had put this threat in exe cution. The Counsel besides set up a defence of mental alie nation, occasioned by the obstinate entleavolirs of the bigamist to discover the perpetual motion. A physician was called to examine him, who declared that the prisoner, perfectly illite rate, incapable even of reading, had a decided aptitude for the mechanical arts, but that he could not connect two moral ideas, and that the letters written by his dictation were incoherent, contradictory, and absolute nonsense. The result of this de fence is not stated. FATAL ACalDENT.—Yesterchy morning, Mr. JOHN SLATER, a respectable gardener, residing at Walham green, was unfortunately thrown by his horse and killed on the spot. A story has reached us of a Nunnery in the West of England, in which one young female at least is forcibly detained. She is said to have escaped lately, and thrown herself on the pro tection of a gentleman, who, not choosing to risk a quarrel with the Catholic establishment, suf fered her to be forcibly returned to her prison. We mention the circumstance with the view of exciting inquiry, that the truth may be ascer tained and justice done.—( Western Luminary.) FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

This meeting, which has for some time excited considerable interest through the Principality, began on Wednesday last, and was attended by several persons eminent in the literature of their country. Sir C. Morgan, who presided, besides many other Gentlemen, were also present. The meeting was opened by the Rev. J. Hughes, who recited some lines written for the occasion ; after which the Rev. Thomas Price .addressed it in a very interesting manner on the importance of the Bardic re mains, and presenting a brief account of an ancient MS. attri buting to Ailuerin some pieces generally ascribed to Taliesin. The prizes were given as follow :—That for the best Ode (Awdl) on " the memorable period, during which our most Gracious Sovereign George IV. exercised as Regent the powers of Government over the United Kingdom, commencing with a debarkation of the British Troops in Portugal, and teminating with the glorious victory on the field of Waterloo, " ' was won by Mr. W. L. Jones, of Dolgelly, a young bard iose signature was Eryr, (the Eagle), though much praise was d u e a l so to th ose of Cynfelyn, (Mr. T. Jones, 13arddcloff), and Hanerythl, , (Mr. Vowels), both of which were very regular and accurate pieces ; but the Eagle soared abov e th em . The next prize for the poem (Cywydd) on " the overthrow of the Egyptians in the Red Sea," was bestowed on Mr. I'. Jones, of Liverpool. That for the beat Englyn on " the - Rainbow," for which there were many can didates, fell to the lot of Eliedydd (Mr. William Jones, Den bigh) ; and that for the best English essay on "the Ancient and Present State of the Welsh language, with particular reference to the Dialects," was awarded to Cadoc ap Gwynlliw (Rev. J. Hughes, Brecon.) In this essay the author extracted many specimens from the works of the Welsh bards, among which was Davydd ap Gwillynt's compliment to Glamorgan, and his description of the country under a fall of snow, which met de served applause. During the day several English poems on appropriate subjects were read, and received their meed of praise. The successful candidates Si ere invested with the Bardic insignia by Mr. Edward Williams, the venerable bard of Glamorgan. The attendance was both numerous and splendid. On the following day, the contest for the silver harp Was to take place, and the remaining prize to be adjudged for the best essay on the subject of the, Massacre of the British Nobles at Stonehenge. In the evening of each day a concert was to take place. LONEON TAVERN, BISEOVSGATE-STREET.—Yesterday afternoon a numerous and highly respectable company of Gen tlemen, the friends of Mews. BLEADEN and Co., dined to gether at this tavern. Mr. Alderman flnxnATt took the Chair, in consequence of Mr. Mclennan Thompson being pre vented by indisposition from fulfilling. his promise of attending and presiding at the entertainment. 'ln the course of the even ing many national toasts were given, and drank - with enthu siasm. The health of several Gentlemen, who either had held, or *ere shortly expected to hold, high civic offices, were also proposed and received with applause. " t:iuccess to Mr. Blea den and his establishment" was given by Mr. Alderman Hey gate, from the Chair, who, in proposing it, informed the com pany that but for the spirited conduct of that Gentleman and his partners, the London Tavern: in which so many patriotic and benevolent meetings had been held, and which on that ac-• count ought always to be dear to the citizens of London, would sometime ago have been discontinued. He trusted that the pub lic had since remunerated those Gentlemen for the courage and spirit which they had shown in undertaking so large a concern; at any rate the proprietors of it must be animated to renew their exertions to deserve public favour by the sight of 321 such friends as they then saw around them. Mr. Bleaden made a very appropriate reply of thanks on behalf of himself and. his partners, which was received throUghout with great cheering. Several songs and glees were sung in the course of the evening. The dinner, wines, and dessert, were all of the best quality. ,KOrtip& ' • a ;Nw„.l • 4 1, *,•.

KEEPING OF THE KING'S BIRTH-DAY TN THE ARCTIC SEAS.—The following amusing account of a Birth-day feast, celebrated on board a whale ship, is from Capt. MANDY'S interesting Journal of a Voyage to Greenland, lately published. -" August 12th, 1021 ; we continued our course to the north west, until we met with ice, which from the return of fog com pelled us to steer to th e sout h- west . It was his Majesty's Birth-day ; being Sunday, we contented ourselves with drink ing our Sovereign's health in heart-felt loyalty.- On the 13th, however, we resolved to celebrate the event, which .we should have commemorated on the preceding day, by a repast, pro bably different from that of any of our fellow-subjects. Our feast was on a leg of mutton, that we had brought vat with us, and which had be e n sus p en d e d un d er t h e mizen - top f or 131 days : it was full of gravy, and as fine-flavoured as ever was eaten : such. a repast heightened the joys of the days, and we drank with glee, a long, happy, and glorious reign to our King, and prosperity to our country ; nor did we forget our wives and friends at home." SMELLIN G OF THE SHOP.—A Correspondent states, that on Sir T. CHAMPNEYS leaving the company at Frome, on Tuesday last, an Iron monger was called to the chair; the first toast given by this robust personage, was, " May the hinges of hospitality never grow rusty." On Thursday evening an .opulent merchant knocked at the door of the Roman Catholic Priest's house, in Moorfields, with a letter, and after delivering it to the servant, he drew a brace of pistols from his pocket, and shot himself. He was immediately conveyed in a coach to his house at Hack ney ; the wound is not considered mortal. He has for some tune been in a melancholy state of mind. POETRY. THE BIRD OP PASSAGE. Away ! away ! thou Summer Bird, For Autumn's moaning voice is heard, In cadence wild and deepening swell, Of Winner's stern approach to tell. Away ! for vapours, damp and low, Are wreathed around the mountain's brow ; And tempest clouds their mantles fold Around the forest's russet gold. A way ! away ! o'er earth and sea, This land is now no home for thee ! Arise! and stretch thy soaring wing, And seek elsewhere the smiles of Spring ! The wanderer now, with pinioni spread, , Afar to brighter climes has fled, Nor casts one backward look, nor grieves For those sere groves whose shade he leaves. Why should he grieve ? the beam he loves Shines o'er him still where'er he roves, And all those early friends are near Who made his Summer-home so dear. Oh ! deem not that the tie of birth Endears us to this spot of earth ; For wheresoe'er our steps may roam, If friends are pear, that place is home ! No matter where our fate may guide us, If those we love are still beside us ! UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, , SEPT. 27.--The Rev.

At each close of the ccrernony (for the Church was twice filled) the Right Rev.

Before his Lordship quitted the Church, he expressed to Messrs. Pritchard and Shaw, the Churchwar- , dens, his fullest approbation of their admirable arrangements, in the accommodation afforded to the numerous assemblage, which completely secured that regularity and good order, so essential to give proper effect to the sacred service of the day.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT BLACK ROCK.—We have this week to record the loss of another life in the vicinity Qif Black Rock. For some time past, on account of the dangerous state of the Cliff, all persons have been prohibited from getting stones from the beach near that place ; but, not withstanding, it has been frequently done by stealth ; and early on Wednesday morning, at about three o'clock, two men were employed in drawing up stones with a basket, ,one being placed at the top of, and the other below, the Cliff. While thus occupied, an immense piece of the Cliff, extending no less than sixteen feet from the edge, separated itself from top to bottom, and fell down, burying the man beneath. It is sup posed that .a small piece first struck him, as he was heard by his companio►► to cry out. The other man escaped in, a most providential manner.—Hearing the ground crack beneath him, he was immediately alarmed, and call ing to the one below to get away, he himself ran from the edge of the Cliff, and at the mo ment of his springing to make a leap, the ground actually sunk beneath his feet. One moment more must have precipitated , him in the chasm. Labourers were set to dig for the body of the unhappy victim; but up to last night their search continued to be unsuccessful. lie was upwards of 60 years of age; his name is unknown, and he was a stranger to the person with whom he was working; the name of the latter is Johnston.— (Brighton Gazette.) I _ MuitnEn.—(Frost a Madrid paper of thelfith instant.) — Yesterday, at two in the evening, Don Santiago Iruegas, Al calde of the Barrio de la Cruz, was called, by the neighbours, to a house in the Calle de la Vittoria, in which Don N.,lleros, a clerk in the Treasury, lives, for the purpose of ascertain ing the cause of the cry of " murder" in the voice of a female. The Alcalde proceeded immediately to the plate pointed out, and finding that no attentihn was paid to his request to open the door, he ortlered it to be broken open, and, accompanied by some friends and the neighbburs, went 'up to the second floor, whence the cries had proceeded. They no sooner entered the outer room than they found, bathed in her blood, anti al read quite dead, Donna Valentia Gomez, housekeeper to Don N. }leros. It was observed that she had received a deep wound in the neck, and others of a slighter description in differ ent parts of the body. To this melancholy sight was added, that of a man lying by the side of the deceased, who was also wounded in the neck • his wound was apparently slight, but his face and hands were covered with blood. Them were in a purse-six hundred reals—one ounce in gold, and the rest in ,dollars, all covered with blood, and besides a re ceipt for the like sum from the deceased. A switch, also stained with blood, was found on the floor. On the first search no weapon . whatever was discovered, but afterwards there was found un der a mat a small knife, which is supposed to ' have been the I murderous instrument, as it is much marked with 'blood.— The wounded man was 'removed to the hospital. Notwith standing the numerous questions which have there been put to him, he has not articulated a single word ;'but his s i gns seemed , at first, to indicate that - he wished it to be under stood that he and the deceased hail been attacked by two men who escaped. Afterwards he appeared to signify that the crime was perpetrated by one man : but neither of these intimations agreed with the statement of a cobbler who lives at the entrance to the house. He states that ' the wounded man waited in the 'portal for the return of the unfortunate Donna Valentina, who had gone out : that when she came home, he went up stairs with her ; and that soon after the cries were heard which caused the people in the neighbourhood to collect round the house. —The cobbler further declares that, except the wounded man and the deceased, he had seen 'nobody either come out or go into the house. It may be inferred from the receipt, which is supposed to have been executed in favour of the wounded man, that his name is Manuel Castello. These circumstances have given rise to a thousand conjectures, and the Constitu- tional Alcalde (Don Ramon Casellas) has set on foot a diligent investigation respecting this horrid and extraordinary assassi nation.

Since our last notice of this singular discovery no farther steps have been taken to convey it to the metropolis. It still remains at the place to which it was floated, and while there i so great a resort of persons daily to view it, there is little in ducement in the owner to remove it. There is no impression on the piece of coin mentioned to have been found (if such in fact it is) ; but there is a plate or piece of pewter or of some other metal, marked with the old black letters I. P. ; from which some have confidently asserted, that the date cannot be so remote as six or seven centuries back;, although they admit that those characters were in use as long as five centuries since. Our correspondent adds an extract from Stow, relating to the invasion of the Danes in this part of the kingdom, which, he says, appears to throw some light on the point of antiquity now in question . , " In the yeti. 892 (says Stow) a great army of 'Pagans, with 250 ships, came into Kent, landed at the mouth of the river that runneth from the great wood, which is called Andrea's lireaM, and drew their ships * four miles into the same wood, where they destroyed a castle, and fortified another more strong at a place called Apultrons, now Apuldor." * Drew theii ships.—The vessel when found had her head towards Appledore, where they landed, and th e fl ee t was pro bably, dragged up the river with their bows toward the sea. Since the above has been communicated to us, it is stated that a contract has been madd by Mr.' W. Hunter, of Rye, to remove the vessel to London by land. It is also said, that 10001. has been oftbred for it by some gentlemen from London, but refused.—( Kentish Gazette. ). OLD BAILEY—(Tms DAY.) This morning the RECORDER passed the awful sentence of Death upon the following thirty-four unhappy criminals, viz. Richard Mitford, for forgery ; Wm. Adams, for cutting and maiming; Samuel Wilson and Isaac Knight, for horse-steal ing ; Wirn Callaglme, for returning from transportation ; Charles Robinson, Josh. Mackrell, rhos. Hays, Edmund Mustoe, James Simpson, 'William Williams, Joseph Wil liams (brothers), William Corbett, alias Watson, Joseph Corbett, alias Watson (brothers), Frances Waddell, Mary Gingell, Daniel Cotterell, John Brown, Alexander Brown, Frank Purdow, and John Bridgman, ftv.stealing in the dwel ling-house ; William :Redding, Stephen Toole, Joseph I'artier, Walter Blanchard (a there boy), and John Roberts, for burg lary; John , Levy, Robert Ramsey, James Gardner, William Bright, George Wigginton, Thomas. Gordon, William Milton, and Samuel Greenwood, for highway robberies. The ItEcoaDER, In a most impressive manner, exhorted Mitford and several of the other prisoners to prepare themselves for the full exe cution of the law: A most remarkable Escape from Azdesburg Gaol, and subsequent Re-apprehension. A desperate gang, consisting of three notori ous horse-stealers, have for some time been detained at Ayles bury, to take their trials on several capital charges, and had, not long since, nearly effected their escape ' • but, on the morn ing. of Saturday last, about five o'clock, an alarm was given in the prison that this band of ruffians, with one Cotes, under a similar charge, had certainly effected ' their escape, and had, by means of a rope formed of their bedding, descended into the public street, half-dressed, on the market day, and made off with great alacrity ? , to the dismay of two men who witnessed their surprising descent from the Up per story of the County Hall. An alarm was immediately given, and the number of the pursuers increased every instant ; neverthelesi the fugitives had not been much noticed, or their route known, till they had reached the brewery of Messrs. Dell and Co., where the strangeness of their dress, and half-naked state, awakened the attention of those coming to market. Their route was evidently part of a preconcer ed plan most ingeniously laid down, and as ddkterously.as audaciously executed ; for at Ford-lane, adjoining Bishopstone, a company of vag ran t s h a d loitered for two or three c l a y s , an d by their talents in music and mat-making obtained pity for their forlorn appearance from the neighbourhood. The prisoners hastened towards this point by the nearest cu•. The pursuers, 1 e tiled by Mr. John Gur,. ney, of the Bell, Aylesbury, first di: C3vered and apprehended M Isom, alias Cribb. He was found, h his party-coloured jail dress, exteaded, hiding himself in a furrow drain in a field. Cotes had, in the same quarter, 'secie ed himself in a hedge, awl was ta'cen. Brown ' alias Cribb (supposed to be Milsom's brother) kept up with Banks, and made considerable resistance before they were secured. On iheir ri turn, being asked how they would have managed touching their irons, in 'case they got off, their reply was very remarkable, viz. "Some hung. r y dogs would gnaw them offin ten minutes." This, by those v. holiave been most with them, is judged to allude to the company of miserable wretches in Ford-lane, who would have sawed them off, and shel tering them in-their party, have hidden them till night amongst the woods about Hartwell. On their return to their old lodgings, they were strongly ironed togcfier in pairs, end new means de vised to defeat any further attempt, especially by seclusion from strangels. On examining the Court of Sessions, and the greater Court in the story above, wh mce the party had come down in the surprising manner already stated, their simple in struments of escape were discovered. The first article was a picklock key, fabricated in the prison of thick iron wire, taken from the rim of a jail saucepan used among the prisoners.— The next was an iron bar wrenched from the'r fire-place. With the first they opened all locks that obstructel :hem, and with the bar they forced a passage through the ceiling below and the flooring of the hall, whence they came to the place of their de scent. It was remarked by a magistrate, that such ing enu i ty , agility, and intrepidity, might, in a better cause, have been eminently useful to their country; and well may we exclaim-- How fertile is ingenuity when urged by necessity .!—( Oxford Journal. ) Last night, between seven and eight o'clock, an inquisition was taken at Guy's Hospital, Southwark, before THOMAS SHELTON, Esq. on the boclyof Longnor Lemon, age d 72 years. It appez:_ed that the deceased was a bricklayer, and after brea'cfast yesterday morning, he was at work upon a scat. fold in front of a house in the Waterloo 'Road'; the scaffold was 17 feet high, and by some chance the deceased fell from the end of it upon the pavement, was taken up senseless, bleed ing profusely from the mouth, nose and ears, and was conveyed to the hospital, where he died in ten minutes.—Verdict ac cordingly. Yesterday, about eleven o'clock, as a Mr. Ed ward Rowbottom was passing along the banks of the Re gent's Canal, near Kingsland, he observed, on the oppo site side, a female of respectable appearance, with a child about three years old. He had not proceeded far when he heard a splash' in the water, and turning round he saw the female struggling lin the water, and the child standing on the brink. Mr. R. hailed ,some bargemen, and after much difficulty they succeeded in extricating her. The unfortunate woman was about the middle age, and far advanced in prig mancy. She had a quarrel that morning with her husbai d, who suspected her fidelity, which was the cause of her attemp ing the rash act.—Mr. Rowhottom placed her in a coach ar d accompanied her home to Sheppard's-walk, Bethnal-green, where she was received by her husband and relations with open arms. SUDDI N BE I.TD.--.RICHARD EDWARDS, in the service of (as carman) Messrs. FOUDRINIER and Co., Stationers, while feeding his horse on Thursday night, was seized with an apoplectic tit which ,terminated his existence yesterday morning, at one o'clock. lie had enjoyed a good state of health previous to the fit.
