WEST LONDON THEATRE.—The attractions of this elegant little Theatre are acknowledged by crowded houses and rapturous applause. The performances of the present week are The Three and the Deuce,—A Wife's First Lesson, and a new comic Burletta, in three acts, called Tricks and Blunders.—Mr. BRUNTON, the spirited Ma nager, was much and deservedly applauded in the triple character of•Pertinax, Peregrine, and Perccval Single, the rapid transitions and varied appearances, mental qualities, and feelings of whom he executed with peculiar felicity.—Miss BRUNTON, however, is the leading star of her father's company. This charming actress per forms Lady Elizabeth Freelove, in A Wife's First Lesson, and Maria Wilberton, in Tricks and Blunders.—ln the former character, as an accomplished Bride, she is cured of a most passionate temper by the skilful artifices of her husband Colonel Freelove, aided by her brother Lord Rivers, who effect her reformation by equally successful and natural, though less ferocious contrivances than those practised by Petruchio, in The Taming of the Shrez.c.- 7 ln the latter character, Maria Wilberton, she is the ward of Old Drissley, who endeavours to inti midate her into a marriage with his son, but which she has the good fortune to escape, and to marry the man of her choice, Captain Charlton.— In both, her acting is equally remarkable for its ease and richness,—for the fascinating archness of her playful humour, the piquancy of her more petulant moods, the violent, but still lady-like ebullitions of her anger, and the bewitching and tender allurements of her love. BRAIIA1)1, and Miss STEPHENS (if she is still Miss STEPItENs) are engaged to perform two nights at Huddersfield, and as the place is moun tainous they will of course sing in alt. The Margate Theatre, under the direction of Mr. FAUCETT SAVILLE, who has collected a better theatrical corps than has appeared there for some years, is also better attended than has been usual. The tow❑ is still full of company, and gaiety is the order of the day. Miss LACEY, now performing at the Belfast theatre, it is said, is to make an early appearance at Govent-Garden Theatre in the ensuing season, in the character of Juliet. Mr. FAWCETT ; Mr. DOWTON, Mr. COOPER, Miss IJALLANDE, and Mrs. DAVISON, a.;.e all now performing at the Manchester Theatre. SELDEN.—For the share he had in the contest between Charles the First and his Parliament, he was called " the Glory of England." His opposition to the measures of the Court in the reign of James, as well as that of his suc cessor, does honour to his integrity. He was positive and fixed in his own opinion, and he was fond of quibble and con tradiction. In the House of Commons, and in the Assembly of Divines, for he was a Member of each, he appears prin cipally to have delighted in gravelling other Speakers, and perplexing a debate. Of this the following is an instance : 'When the Bill was brought in for abolishing Episcopacy, Mr. Harbottle Grimston, one of the most zealous advo cates of the measure, gravely argued thus—" That Arch bishops are not jure divino (by divine law) is no question ; ergo, whether Archbishops, who are not jure divino, should suspend Ministers who are certainly ju r e divino; you, Mr. Speaker."—To this whim s ic a l l og i c Mr. Selden immediately made this witty reply :—" That Parliaments are not jure divino is out of the question ; that religion is jurc divino is past dispute : now, whether Parliaments, , A'hich, without question, are not jure divino, should meddle with religion, which, without doubt, is jure divino, I leave to you, Mr. Speaker." NEW POLICE ACT.-Yesterday, at Union- Hall, an information was laid against James Brown, a confectioner, carrying on business near Vauxhall Gardens ; and it being proved that on the 31st August last he sold two bottles of ginger beer, and that he had company in the house at half-past 12 o'clock, the worthy Magistrate (Mr. SWABEY) said, that, as this was his second offence, he should convict him in the full penalty of 10/.—Brown said he should appeal to the Quarter Sessions, as he was entitled to do so from the penalty exceeding 51.—Mr. Swabey said, he certainly had a right to do so, but reminded him that he would become bound, under the estreat ing of his bail, to try the case at the Quarter Sessions next ensuing. —On the decision of this case many are interested, as there are several in formations standing over till the result shall be known.—The Act under which the informations are laid is the 3d of Geo. IV. c. 55. POETRY. HISTORIC PROLOGUE TO GEORGE 111. When the Third GEORGE his reign began, (Extended to the latest span), Proud victories were seen to smile, — Manilla, Hindostan, Belleisle : Havannah, Martinique, Lucie, Submit to British bravery ! But where the vcx'd Atlantic roars, Opposing legions line the shores: Finn to their cause great Chatham clung, 'Till utt'rancc fair(' his fault'ring tongue. Junius, with energetic pen, Dragg'd forth corruption from her den Wilkes, in the cause of patriots tried, Obnoxious warrants set aside : Incendiaries and bigots cry, Cordon's war-whoop, " No Popery * !" With enterprising sail unfurl'd, Cook circumnavigates the world : Discovering land in distant climes, Since coloniz'd with convict crimes. Where Ganges rolls the Hindb stream, Bright deeds of British valour gleam ! Where raging hurricanes arise, De Grasse, by Rodney vanquish'd lies. Lo ! shrouded in sepulchral shade, The pride of list'ning Senates laiti! Pratt's, Murray's, Dunning's, Thurlow's mind, Forensic energies combin'd. Arous'd from slumb'ring reverie, North charm'd with wit and repartee : Fox, with irnpassion'ci manly sense, The torrent pour'd of eloquence: Rivals once bitter in debate, Now coalesce to rule the State, 'Till Pitt, the terror of his foes, The Star of British Council, rose! Burke, Wyndham, Sheridan, impress'd Their vivid flashes on the breast; The last, with comic vein and taste, Alike the Stage and Senate grac'd ! Inscribe on Whitbread's honor'd bust, " The man who ne'er betray'd a trust !" With these embalm'd shall Grattan live, The proudest record fame can give! With Revolution's bursting flame Fell anarchy and carnage came ! Tocsins resounded with alarms ;" Towns, cities, hamlets, flew to arms, And, buckling on the cuirass rude, Assum'd a fearless attitude Britain, unmov'd and undismay'd, Stood till the wasting plague was stay'd, And Wellington's decisive blow Seal'd Napoleon's overthrow ! Come, bind with wreaths the laurel'd brow, Of Nelson, Jarvis, Duncan, Howe ! On Egypt's parch'd and barren sands, Join gallant Abercrombie's bands ; And on Corunna's fatal shore, Lament the toils and fate of Moore! Bedeck with cypress Walch'ren's grave, Where, without glory, fell the brave I Mourn Perceval's untimely fate, The victim of revengeful hate ! Bestow the tribute of a tear. With Leopold o'er Charlotte's bier : The nation's hope, the nation's pride ; Ador'd she liv'd ! lamented died ! Bereft of reason's guiding ray, For years th' enfeebled MONARCH lay : His QUEEN by fond affection led, Long smootli'd the pillow 'neath his head • In visual, and in mental gloom, He sunk exhausted to the tomb ! • The late Lord GEORGE GORDON. A DREAM. The following is, we believe, an old story, but it has recently appeared in a Country Jour nal : " We give the following extraordinary story as we received it, only premising that the principal actor in the narra tive is said to be a Gentleman now resident at Fulham.— Mr. Thornton was one night extremely agitated by a dream. It appeared to him that he saw the gardener of his fa mily in the act of murdering his cook-maid. He awoke, but endeavouring to dismiss the vision from his remem brance, attempted to compose himself to sleep. His eyes were scarcely closed, when again the same dreadful picture presented itself to his imagination. Alarmed by the ex traordinary, the distinct, and the repeated intimation, he rapidly arose, and taking his night lamp in his hand, de , parted from his room, and descended from the stairs, with an intention of proceeding to the spot in which the circum stances of the dream had appeared to him as occurring.__ The hour was about four o'clock. The morning was clear, moonlight, and frosty. The reader will conceive what his surprise must have been, when, on entering the kitchen, on his way to the garden by the nearest avenue, he perceived the cook dressed in white, putting on her bonnet and cloak, as if preparing for a journey. To his inquiries respecting her pre sence at such an unaccustomed hour,and in such extraordinary at tire,she replied, that she was on the point of being married to the gardener,—that they were going to a neighbouring village for that purpose,—and that Mark was waiting for her, at the end of the garden, with a horse and taxed-cart to convey her to church. Mr. Thornton told her that he, of course, could have no objection to their marriage, though he remonstrated against the secrecy of the proceeding, and desired her to wait a few moments till his return, as he was desirous of speaking to Mark previously to their setting off. Her master did not delay a moment in hasten ing to the garden : his mind much misdoubted the good inten tions of the paramour, and he was not a little struck with the co incidence of his dream, and the preparation s that he had Witnessed. He first went to the bottom of the garden—to the spot mentioned by the maid-servant, as the pl ace i n Whi c h Mark was waiting for her coming. All was still. There was no Mark ; no horse ; no chaise. He then proceeded to the place marked out to him by the vision. Here he was destined to behold an object of a very doubtful character. Working with an inde fatigable and hurried hand, and with his back turned towards him, Mr. Thornton perceived a man digging in a pit. As he stood at his labour in the pit, it appeared to be about three feet and a half deep—it was about as many in width, and about six feet in length ; it had all the character of a grave. Mr. Thorn ton approached silently, and laid his hand with a sudden grasp on the man's shoulder.—Mark turned his eyes upon his master, shuddered and fainted.—Were the indications of that dream the suggestions of a lying spirit ?" THE SWALLOW.—AImost every newspaper in England has noticed the early departure of this interesting wanderer, by observing that in the middle of last month they were congregat ing in the way which is usual, late in Sep tember, or in October; few, however, have in quired into the cause of this early emigration.— We have heard it ascribed to a scarcity of insect food, occasioned by the heavy rains of July, and the frequent thunder-storms, which are well known to be principal causes of the mortality of insects; but we are rather of opinion, that their flight prognosticates that a severe and early winter %vitt set in ; and we see no reason why the instinctive foresight of the swallows should not.lead then, to determine the best time for their departure, as well as teach them the quarter of the globe to go to. We are confirmed in this conjecture by the report of our sporting friends, who tell us that there is this year an unusual quantity of berries and other hedge fruits. Mr. BURROUGHS'S benefit on Monday night yielded 4001., the greatest house ever known at the Surrey Theatre. The box-lobbies, and all the various avenues, were crowded to excess.— No slight proof of the estimation of the actor and the worth of the man. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER RACES, MONDAY, SEPT. 16. The Fitzw•illiam Stakes (the first Race) was won cleverly by the Hon. T. 0. Powlett's b. c. Figaro, by Haphazard, beating six or seven others.

AFFECTING ANFCDOTE.—At the Anniversary Meeting of the Southampton Auxiliary Bible Society, on Thursday, the Rev. L E I GH RICH MOND, (author of th e Dairyman's Daughter) re lated to the meeting an anecdote of the most touching interest, which rivetted the attention and affected the hearts of the whole assembly in no common degree ; and to which, though we will generally and briefly state the facts, we cannot pretend to do any justice. By a sudden burst of water into one of the Newcastle Col lieries, 35 men and 41 lads were driven into a distant part of the pit, from which there was no possibility of return, until tie water should have been drawn off. 'While this was being effected, though all possible means were used, the whole number gradually died, from starving- or from suffocation. When the bodies were drawn up from the pit, seven of the youths were disco vered in a cavern separate from the rest. Among these was one of peculiarly moral and religious habits, whose daily reading of the sacred Strip- tures to his widowed mother, when he came up from his labour, had formed the solace of her lonely condition. After his funeral a sym pathising friend of the neglected poor went to visit her ; and while the mother spewed him, as a relic of her son, his Bible worn and soiled with constant perusal, he happened to cast his eyes on a candle-box, with which, as a miner, he had been furnished, and which had been brought up from the pit with him ; andthere he discovered a record of the filial affection and stedfast piety of the youth, than which the annals of martyrdom scarcely furnish a higher or a more affecting instance. In the darkness of the suffo cating pit, with a bit of pointed iron, he had en graved on the box his last message to his mother, in these words : " Fret not, my dear mother ; for we were singing and praising God, while we had time.—Mother, follow God more than ever I did. —Joseph, be a good lad to God and mother." Mr. R. produced the box, which he had borrow ed of the widow, under a solemn promise of re turning a relict so precious to a mother's heart. A few evenings ago, while the family were busily engaged serving customers, a thief con trived to sneak up stairs into the bed-room of Mr. THOMAS, landlord of the Green Man, Strat ford, and plundered a desk of 400 sovereigns, a 201. note, and three valuable watches, with which the villain got clear of.—(Essex Herald.)

Daniel Collerell, aged 35, was indicted for stealing 70 yards of black satin, the property of Mr. T. B. Stanbridge, on the 4th of April last, in the parish of St. Leo nard, Shoreditch. The prisoner, it appeared, had been in the 'employ of the prosecutor, who was a silk-dresser, to whom the prop er ty i n\ question was sent to be d r es se d, when the prisoner gov posses sion of it, which he pledged on the 4th and 20th of April : one of the duplicates he afterwards handed to his landlord in pay ment of rent : the prisoner had told him he had received it for a bad debt.--Several witnesses were called on the part of the prosecution. The prisoner put in a written defence, stating his extreme poverty, and having a wife and four children ; also, that he had been in a respectable way of business. Several witnesses gave him a good character as being an honest and sober man. Mr. Justice BEST made a few observations to the Jury, ob serving, that the property stolen had been proved by the wit nesses; and however painful it was to him, the Learned Judge, they must find him Guilty. The Jury immediately returned their verdict of Guilty, but strongly recommended him to mercy, in which the prosecutor _joined. Mr. Justice BEST replied, that the recommendation should certainly be attended to. [Further Particulars of yesterday's Proceedings.] SHOCKING OFFENCE. John Holland, aged 42, and William King, aged 32, two labouring men, were placed at the bar, on an indictment charging them with the commission of a most shocking offence. Mr. BOLLAND and Mr. NORTON appeared for the prose cution, which is instituted by the city of London. Mr. John Bayley, a coachmaker in London-wall, and other witnesses, made statements which left no doubt on the minds of a crowded Court, of the prisoners' guilt, the detail of which cannot be published. The witnesses were rigidly cross-cxa mined. In the hat of the prisoner, King, was found the body of a woman's gown ! Mr. Justice BEST called on the prisoners for their defence. —Holland said nothing ; King had recourse to a common sub terfuge ; but the witnesses for the prosecution confronted his statement—they called no witnesses to character. His Lordship, evidently much affected, recapitulated the evi dence ; he said he was bound to inform the Jury, that in his estimation a clear case was established against both prisoners, whose lives were in their hands. The Jury, after about one minute's consultation, returned both the prisoners Guilty—Death. Mr. Bayley handed in a deposition, sworn by him before the Lord Mayor, observing, that he had no doubt, when the con tents of the paper were read, vigilant watch would be set in that vicinity, (viz. the neighbourhood of Moorfields). ROBBERY BY A SERVANT. • Rosina Davis was put to the bar, on an indictment charging her with stealing a necklace, two bracelets, and various other property, in the dwelling-house of Wm. Staff', Esq. in the parish of St. Luke, Chelsea. In the course of the evidence the Learned Judges complained that the original depositions were not in Court. Mr. Justice BEST directed that the Magistrates should be informed that the Court expected they would in future be furnished. Th? evi dence adduced did not go far enough to bring home the capital part of the charge, and the Jury found the prisoner guilty of stealing to the amount of 395. YOUTHFUL DEPRAVITY. Robert St'adling, only 15 years of age, stood indicted capi tally for stealing in the dwelling-house of Thomas Cody, sundry pieces.of silver coin, value 441. The prisoner had induced the son of the prosecutor, only 12 years of age, to rob his parents and bring him the money ; but it did not appear that he assisted in the robbery farther than furnishing a key to open the box, which was not used, and by' the direction of the Court the Jury acquitted him. Ile was, however, ordered to be detained, an d th e w i tnesses b ound over to prosecute, under an Act of Parliament passed in the last Session, as the receiver. James Gardner, Wm. Bright, and George Vigenton, were put to the bar, on an indictment charging them capitally with assaulting, on the Bth of August last, near the King's high way, Thomas Harper, and taking with force and violence front his person five sovereigns; a purse, IBs. in silver, and a pair of shoes, his property.—Guilty. .51ary Gyngell, a female of rather interesting aypearince, was put to the bar, on an indictment charging her with stealing in the dwelling-house of Mr. Prouse, of Burton-crescent, two 5/. notes and two sovereigns, his property. The prisoner was proved to have paid one of the notes to the driver of the Marl borough coach, on the 2d of August last, and the Jury found her Guilty.. • Joseph Johnston was put to the bar, on an indictment charg ing him with stealing, on the 16th of August last, in the parish of St. Pancras, a watch chain and key, the property of Mr. John Layburn, Park-street, in his dwelling-house.—Guilty. The prosecutor begged to recommend the prisoner to mercy. Mr. Justice BEST said, the Court would not send the pri. soner out of the country, as he was not proved to have been tried here before. John Williams was put to the bar, for stealing in a public house called the Magpie and Stump, in Fetter-lane, certain Rroperty, including one sovereign, and four half-crowns, be longing to James Conway, an occasional lodger in that It seemed that on the night of the 4th of July, the prisoner, as he had done on more than one occasion before, hired a bed at the above-mentioned inn, to which he retired about eleven o'clock at night. In the same room were two other beds ; one occupied by Conw a y, an d t h e ot h er b y a man named Richley. The master of the house swore that about one or two o'clock on the following morn ing, hearing a noise as of some person stumbl ing in the dark, he took a light and went to search the premises that at the. bottom of the staircase he found the prisoner, who- was stooping down and endeavouring to pull his shoes on ; that he interrogated him as to the reason of his being there at such an hour ; that prisoner replied, he was going into the country by a coac h w hi c h was to start at five o'clock, and he was fearful of being too late ; and that upon the prose cutor's asking him whether he had got any money, he replied in the negative, although upo n taking off his hat, some coin rolled out from under it. The prosecutor insisted upon the prisoner's returning to his room ; when Ricbley said he had lost all his silver but 6d., and Conway discovered that he had been robbed of a sovereign in gold, 4 half crowns, and other silver. A canvass bag was discovered in the prisoner's bed, containing, among other cash, a sovereign and four half-crowns, together with several duplicates to the amount of 21. 13s. apparently for property pledged by the prisoner in his own and in other names on the day preceding, and consequently anterior to the robbery. The prisoner protested his innocence. Most respectable wit nesses, and among others a master of a King's ship, gave the prisoner the very best character. The Jury found him Guilty, and be was sentenced to seven years' transportation. CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 18.
