THEATRES. Coy. tlr ntwr•GAßnEN.—lt is no compliment to night R ENtati to say, that his Hamlet, last i)fa at. this Theatre, was an intellectual treat ery high order.

This we conceive to i s • 'He light in which the character of Hamlet fi rs a he co ns id ere d , f or ot h erw i se, i n hi s tnlrire be of H orat i o , he would not have ere I 'ninl i that he should be taught to " drink deep h as e d eParts."

WHITCHU cll.—The attention of the fashion. able world has lately been a good deal occupied by the singular manner in which Lord PORTSMOUTH was removed from Edinburgh, and the proceedings consequent thereon. Lady PORTSMOUTH being near her, confinement did not follow her Lord immediately, but remained in the North till she gave birth to an heiress. Mr. NEWTON FELLOWES, the heir-at-law to the Portsmouth property, since the removal, and since the return of his Lordship to Whitchurch, is said to have been constantly about the person of his Lordship. Some differences having arisen between the Noble Pair, Lord PORTSMOUTH, it appears, interdicted her Ladyship's return to Whitchurch ; but she, insisting on her rights as consort to the Noble Lord, had refused to yield obedience to the mandate. On Saturday, Dr. BANKIIEAD and another Gentle Man ar rived at the splendid seat of the Peer, and announced that Lady PORTSMOUTIf, having recovered from her accouchement, was then on the road to Whitchurch, to which place she repaired for the purpose of insisting on being received as the consort of his Lordship. The precise answer given to this intimation has not transpired, but it certainly was not a " welcome - home." Between four and five o'clock an open carriage and four, with two postilions, followed by two servants wearing the Ports mouth liveries, was seen approaching . Whitchurch. In the carriage her Ladyship was seated, and with her a nurse with the infant. On the way the postilions greeted the coaches they passed with loud huzzas. They travelled with extraordinary speed ; so much so, that the servants could not without diffi culty keep up with the carriage. Arriving at the White Hart at Whitchurch, her Ladyship alighted, and rested for some ime. The people at Whitchurch were all on the alert to witness the experiment, and a variety of whimsical reports were in cir culation. A number of the townsfolks were assembled in front of the gates to the Park, and within a party of men, dressed in smock frocks, and others apparently labourers, were drawn up, as it should seem, for the purpose of opposing, by main force if necessary, that entrance on which her Ladyship was expected to insist. Just beyond the Lodge one or two timber carriages were placed, without horses, to obstruct the way. These were so disposed that it was impossible for a carriage to pass either to the right or to the left of them, on account of the obstructing trees. Matters thus remained when our informant left Whit church at five in the afternoon, at which hour the advance of her Ladyship from the inn was momentarily expected.— ( Morning Post.) *l , ~." 4i) f-_ ig: • ,`1 114 :› ,;"' p' 3 t J .:,... ; , t • ~„,.• '' - :: , :ii i .L.,-,,, • lit:- -, k,,, rt.'•- 1 ,-- 4 ,4b , ,,,-.4.,..,"r , ~. ,-,-,,, • . e .

EDUCATION IN SARDINIA AND GENOA.--41 Code for the regulation of the Universities of Turin and Genoa has lately appeared, consisting of 6.5 Articles, many of which are calculated to improve the moral conduct of the Students, and to promote assiduity in their studies. 'Another Code for the regulation of Schools, in 250 Articles, was made public at the same time. EDUCATION IN RUSSlA.—Private education in, Russia has been placed under severe regulations. A Commit tee, under the direction of the Comptroller of Schools, subjects all Masters and Mistresses to' a strict examination, who have not special certificates from public institutions, and who give instruction in private houses or boarding schools. No person, without exposing himself to a serious responsibility, can keep Masters who have not received certificates from this Committee. We perceive that our Theatre re-opens on Monday next, for a few nights, during which period Miss DANCE and Miss STEPHENS will ap pear. Several new performers are engaged, but we understand that they will not be able to join the company until the closing of the Haymarket Theatre and English Opera-house in London. — (Edinburgh Courant, Oct. 5.) POETRY. TO A FRIEND IN DISTRESS. Oh say not that thy joys are fled, To bloom on earth no more ! What tho' thy kindred all are dead : They from this world of grief were led, To greet a smiling shore. And short the hour that steals from thee Their converse, and their smile ; Time, like a rough but narrow sea, Bears onward to Eternity : • Then wait, and hope awhile. And think not that for thee above, Hope smiles but to deceive : What tho' that fairest form has flown ; And round the universe, not one Thy sorrows can relieve : Hope oft returns to gild the scene Usurp'd by dark Despair : And many a bright, transparent beam, May gild thy future path, serene, With joys divinely fair. For thee what new delights may rise : What bliss unknown descend ! Thy woes are blessings in disguise ; Sent to allure thee to the skies, Where all our sorrows end. Oh say not then that Hope in vain, Iliumes Life's darksome way ! What is thy loss, may be thy gain : And pleasures free from every pain, Shall crown a brighter day. Truro. J. E. PRUSSIAN LOAN OF 1822.—Yesterday his Ex cellency Baron WERTHER, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the King of PRUSSIA, to his BRITANNIC MAJESTY, jointly with Mr. N. M. ROTHSCHILD, and accom panied by Mr. CHARLES GREEN, notary public, deposited in the Bank of England the General Bond of his Majesty the King of PRUSSIA, guaranteeing the Loan of 1822, together with the whole of the Prussian State Bonds, granted as additional security. Letters from Pernambuco, of the 28th Aug. state, that advices had been received there of the sailing of the squadron from Rio, consisting of one frigate, two corvettes, and two brigs, on the 14th of July, with 260 soldiers, 6 pieces of ar tillery, 5,000 muskets, &c. On the 6th Aug. the Prince is said to have issued a manifesto, declaring that all troops from Portugal should be considered enemies. His Majesty's ship Creole was at Rio, and the Blossom sailed the -day after the expedition for Bahia. On the 28th of July a vessel arrived at Rio de Janeiro, from Monte video, with a declaration of adherence to the Cortes of Portugal on the part of the military council and troops of that place. How to distinguish OXALIC ACID (which is a Poison) from EPSOM SALTS.—There is a very simple way of satisfying one's self that the dose about to be taken is not Oxalic Acid. Taste one drop of it, or else a particle of the suspected crystals, and if it be Oxalic Acid, it would be found extremely sour, like most other acids. The taste of Epsom Salt is quite different. PRESENCE OF MIND.—In the reign of GEORGE the First, Mr. THYNNE, then aspiring to the hand of the wealthy heiress of Northumberland, was assassinated by his elegant but mercenary rival, Count Konismark, who, if Lord Walpole speaks truth, was in turn disposed of, as Konis mark's skeleton was subsequently discovered.— When Col. Neates was executed as Konismark's accomplice, he said that he did not Mind the disgrace of being hanged, for he was con vinced that in the next world God would treat him as a Gentleman ! This reminds us that when Lord Battitourt was surrounded by a mob, about to burn him in effigy, and disposed, to treat him with equal violence, he threw a handful of gold to the crowd, saying, " If I am to be burnt, you must buy more wood ; - I won't have such a pitiful fire; I'm determined to be burned like a Gentleman !” SIIEERN ESS, OCT. 6.—Hartley, the convict who stabbed Capt. OWEN, of the Bellerophon, was removed on Friday last to Maidstone jail, to stand his trial next December. Since the commission of his crime, the Rev. E. Enwartns and the Rev. J. PRICE have been constant in their efforts to excite in his mind a proper sense of his awful condition, but, we regret to say, without effect. This offender is only 22 years of age, but deeply versed in the desolating ideas of the mis creant Carble. He avers that he had no other reason for at tempting the life of this most humane man, than that he had been told he was a tyrant, and that he knew all tyrants ought to die. He has never expressed the smallest contrition for the deed, nor once hoped that his victim would recover from his wounds. When he saw him, on Friday, for the first time after the attempt, he looked at him with perfect indiffer ence, regardless alike of the havoc he had made in his constitution, and the torture to which he had subjected him. Actuated by the same withering want of sound principle; he attempted a few days ago to commit suicide, by hanging himself with slips cut from his blanket; but he was prevented by the vigilance of the guard on duty.—( Morning Paper.) SCHOOL OF ARTS.-On .Tuesday night the second session of this School for the instruction of the me chanics of Edinburgh in the arts and sciences, commenced in the Freemasons' Hall, with an introductory lecture on Chemistry by Doctor FYFE. After mentioning the be nefit which is to be derived by almost all trades from a knowledge of this science, and impressing upon the minds of the students the necessity of a constant attendance upon the lectures, and of paying the utmost attention to them, he proceeded to explain the elementary principles of chemical philosophy, and illustrate them in a simple and comprehensive manner. The hall was extremely crowd ed, and the audience most attentive, the best proof of their sa tisfaction. Busts of our countrymen Watt and Rennie, and of Franklin, now adorn the Lecture-room, placed there, no doubt, with the laudable intention th a t the remembrance of the celebrity to which they attained in the arts, from a humble origin, may stimulate the students in a like manner to pursue the arduous but honourable path of science.—( Edinburgh Courant, Oct. 3.) On Sunday evening the remains of the late JOHN FORBES, Esq. of New, who /died some time ago in London, were brought to this city on the way to the burial place of this much-respected family, at Strathdon. They were accompanied by his nephews, CHARLES Forums, Esq. M.P., and Mr. MICHIE FORBES, of Crimond ; and, at the desire of the Provost and Magistrates, were deposited in the Town hall, where the body has since lain in state as a tribute justly due to those inestimable qualities, both of the head and heart, which adorned his long and useful, and virtuous life. Indeed, the high estimation in which the character of Mr. Forbes has ever been held in this his native county, enhanced by his truly liberal bequests to the Lunatic Asylum and In firmary of this place, spontaneously dictated the wish that every 'mark of respect should be paid to his remains. Actuated by these sentiments, and desirous to afford an opportunity for the expression of what is the universal feeling . of all ranks on this in teresting occasion, the Provost and Magistrates have desired us publicly to notify, that the body will be removed this day at 12 o'clock, when those who wish to testify their respect for the memory of this worthy man, and their sense of gratitude for his munificent benefactions to the charitable institutions of the town of Aberdeen, are respectfully invited to accompany his remains from the Town-hall to Union-place.—( Aberdeen Journal, Wednesday. ) On Tuesday morning the body of an itinerant musician, of the name of Paul Wakeman, who earned his sub sistence by playing to the shows, was taken out of the Clyde near Rutliergkn-bridge. It is said that having become uncom fortable by his imprudence, he went to the place mentioned, where he met two girls, of whom he inquired for the deepest part of the river. He went coolly to the spot pointed out by the unsuspecting females, and took off his hat, and taking a night-cap out of it, which he had purchased for the purpose the night before, drew it over his face, sprung into the water, and was drowned.--( Glasgow Chronicle.)

EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE.—A match took place on Tuesday morning, from the New Hotel, in the Low Town, Bridgnorth, against time, by a pony only thirteen hands high, which started from the above inn, to the Toll-gate at Wolverhampton, waiting the time that a ticket was dated, and returned in the short space of one hour and fifty minutes ; thus accomplishing, over a sandy and hilly road, a distance of twenty-eight miles, and actually carrying eleven stone. The pony is the property of a Gentleman resident in Bridgnorth. HUNTING.

At the last meeting of the Acrotormetation Society of Sharp Shooters, last week, at Wormwood Scrubs, the firing, (not withstanding the windy state of the weather), was truly - excel lent. Mr. Beetson, it was understood, won the Gold Medal, after a spirited contest with Messrs. Riviere, Furman, Bel vile, and Manning. The latter Gentleman put into a target 18 inches in diameter, 15 shots out of 18, a feat seldom equal led, and scarcely if ever excelled. Sir John Grey Egerton's celebrated colt, Young Freeman, died last week, at the stable at Oulton Park. Mr. Dilly has purchased at Doncaster, of Sir R. K. Dick, his ch. g. Euphrates ; and Mr. Loftus, of the Marquis of Queensberry, his bl. c. Pluto. BOXERS.--JOSH. HUDSON AND SHELTON.—A match be tween these old favourites, for £lOO a side, was made at the Castle Tavern on Friday evening. The fight is to take place on neat Thursday six weeks ; the place to be named by Mr. Jackson. RABBIT lIUNT. —The rabbits at Mounthill, near Cupar, having done considerable damage to the crops in the neighbourhood, the proprietors determined on their destruc tion, and an invitation was given to the public to assist in the work of extermination. Accordingly on Saturday a large party from this place sallied forth, and with the assistance of ferrets, dogs, spades, and stick, upwards of 150 brace were killed. On Tuesday the work was renewed, and a great number more de stroyed.—( Cupar Herald.) Although the price of farming stock is cer tainly much depressed at present, yet at public auctions every species of live stock and crops bring more by 30 per cent. than in the market, and there is seldom any loss sustained by col lecting the proceeds at auction sales. At a sale of farming stock near this city on Thursday last, two year old bulls and heifers fetched about 141. per head, and every other article in proportion.—( Carlisle Journal.)

Extract of a letter received at the Jerusalem Coffee-house, dated Cape Town, July 10 We have to communicate the melancholy loss of the Sarah, Captain JAMES NORTON, from Bombay. She was perceived to be foundering at her anchors, when they were obliged to cut her cables, and she went on shore near the place where the E 1717714 was wrecked, and she is now all to pieces, and three of the crew were drowned. The beach is strewed with her cargo, which consisted of coffee for this place ; pepper, castor oil, drugs, &c. for England, part of which will be saved, but much damaged. His Majesty's ships Ganges and Topaze arrived at Ports mouth on the 6th instant ; the former from Bombay tbe sth of May, and the latter from Madras the 20th of May they sailed from St. Helena the 15th of August. The Company's ship Scaleby Castle, and chartered ship Florentia, sailed from St. Helena for England the 13th of August. The Vansittart, from China, arrived at St. Helena the 9th of the same month, and was to sail on the 17th. The undermentioned ships, out ward-bound, were at Bombay on the 18th of May last, viz. : the Dunira, Berwickshire, the Duke of York. The Fairlie arrived at Madras, the 12th of May.—An unfortunate circum stance occurred during the outward voyage of the Scaleby Castle. On the coast of New Guinea, a midshipman with a boat's crew had been sent a-head in the night for the purpose of sounding, while the ship continued under weigh. At day break the boat had disappeared, and although Captain Newell lay to for several days, no trace of the boat or its unfortunate crew was discovered. Great fears are now entertained for their safety. _ _ _ Jr is understood that East Indiamen will in future occasionally touch at Plymouth. Some gentlemen in the service of the East India Company have been inspecting the store-houses at Turn-chapel, Catwater, preparatory to the establishment of a depot there for stores, &c. for the use of the Company's ships which may put into the harbour. It is apprehended that the discharge of workmen at Plymouth Dockyard will continue, as it has begun, for several months to come, until the number of men employed in that great naval establishment is reduced to about 2,000. At the com mencement of the reduction now in progress, above 3,000 men were employed. The discharges take place every fortnight ; 150 have been paid off within the last month; and as in these discharges the situations of the men with respect to the num ber of their families, &c. have not been considered, many have been reduced to the utmost distress. In consequence of these dismissals, the poor's rate at Plymouth Dock and the adjacent parishes will be considerably increased. Some able workrne discharged from the Yard have already embarked for South America ; and nearly all the persons possessed of talent will gradually quit the establishment; as, since the dismissal of the Quartermen and the exclusive appointment of officers from the Royal Academy at Portsmouth, the workmen are precluded all prospect of advancing themselves in the service, whatever be their merit or ability.—( West Briton.) BULL BAITING. MAGISTRATES' CHAMBER, AYLESBURY, SEPT. 28. A case of Bull-baiting came under the con siaeration of the Magistrates. It appeared, that on the Wee nesday preceding all the rabble of Aylesbury and its vicinity, even, to Thame, had collected to partake in the elegant entertainment of bull-baiting. On this occasion much pre caution was used to avoid annoying his Majesty's well-dis posed subjects, and in a retired site all the mirmtice of the laws of the game were prescribed by experienced sachems.—. By these means they hoped to escape a subsequent reckoning. Several persons were, however, brought up to-day for aiding and assisting bull-baiting, and an investigation instituted. Colonel Browne fined them, after hearing the case, but nothing it seems final was determined on, as the Magistrates were inclined to a full and clear revision of the whole of the question. After some other business, the consideration of the case of bull-baiting was resumed. Lord Nugent was inclined to avoid abridging any of the indulgences of the lower classes where they could be legally permitted. His Lordship proceeded to show that though in certain cases the practice is indictable as a nuisance, yet as the law now stands bull-baiting in itself is certainly legal. In proof of this he referred to the ancient statute ofJac.l. as well as to certain tenures, and noticed above all that there are charters in which it is specified, and on the strength of which the practice is, in the places covered by them, necessarily continued. His Lordship, however, set his face strongly against unnecessary cruelty, and urged, that if old laws allowed bull baiting, the new act against cruelty would severely touch such as became conspicuous by wanton barbarity. A case was ad. duced of a fellow that was fined on information, because he had lighted a fire about his bull to cause him to rise again to the fray. Sonic other iniquities were alluded to, and hopes held nut that Mr. Martin next Session, will so clog and muzzle the bipeds, thatlhe English name and character shall thencefor ward no longer be legally disgraced by bull baiters.—( Backs Chnmicle. ) ROAD from EDINBURGH to LONDON. [From the Scotch Papers.] A report on a proposed new line of communi cation for the mails between Edinburgh and the north of Eng land, has been published by a Parliamentary Committee. The line was surveyed by Mr. Telford, upon whose report, accorn panied by a plan.and sections, the Committee proceeded.— In this plan it is proposed that the London mail, instead of passing along the coast by Berwick and Dunbar, as at pre sent, should come by Wooler, Coldstream, and Lauder, quitting the east road at Morpeth. By avoiding hills in some cases, following more gentle declivities in others, and by alter—. ations and improvements of various kinds, the distance between Morpeth and Edinburgh will be shortened four miles and a half ; and the ascent, which is often so great at present as 1 in Bor 10, will be made no where to exceed 1 in 21 or 22. These improvements are of such extent that more than one half the road will be new ; but the new line rarely deviates more than a mile from the old. The expence is estimated at 65,800/. 5 or, with the addition of 10 per cent. for unforseen 'contingencies, 72,400/. By the changes proposed, the new road will be 19 miles shorter than the Berwick road, by which the London mail is at present conveyed to Edinburgh. In consequence of this shortening of the distance and im provement in the level, the Committee think the London mail might reach Edinburgh three hours sooner than at present, or at a quarter past six. " flit letters"might be sorted, and in a course of delivery at the Post-office and to the letter-carriers In the course of an hour, that is, at a quarter past seven. The same time might be saved in returning to Newcastle, so that letters for the London post would without inconvenience be re ceived till eleven o'clock," thus allowing four hours of interval between the delivery of the letters and the closing of the Lon don mail, and enabling the answer to a letter to reach London 24 hours sooner than at present. To provide funds for this undertaking, the Committee recom mend an increase in the amount of the present tolls—arrange ments for accumulating the present surplus revenue of Cold_ stream bridge—levying a moderate postage on the new bridge to be erected at Morpeth—and the imposition of an additional penny of postage on each letter carried by the new mail to Edin biugh, and to all places between Edinburgh and Morpeth. The Committee think that this change would not materially affect the income of the various trusts upon the Berwick road ; and, from the evidence of the Surveyor of the Post-office, they conclude that the separate mail upon that line of road would still maintain itself. HOSPITAL FOR SEAMEN.-This establishmept, so important to the mercantile interest of this country, merits the support of a liberal Public ; and when it is considered that " our hardy Tars" are subject to all the diseases incident to hu manity, with perhaps less means of relief than is afforded to any other class, it is a gratification to learn that their merits are jus , ly appreciated by this Society ; and that when reduced to great dis tress, or sick, or diseased, without knowledge or friends to pro-, cure admission into our various and unfortunately too crowded hospitals, one is adopted for their specific benefit. They are ad. mitted on presenting themselves, without ticket or letters of re. commendation—and. the humanity of the Public to raise neces. sary funds for its support cannot be more appropriately exec. cised than in conducing to the comforts of " Britain's best bul., warks."
