DRILRY.-LANE.----It is gratifying to find that though Mr. YOUNG has quitted Covent-Garden, he is not absent from London boards. lie made his first appearance last night at this Theatre in the character of Hamlet,. in which he originally presented himself before a London audience.— lie was received on his entrance with the warmest applause, and his performance throughout was marked with similar approbation. His merit in this arduous part is so well known that no com ments can be necessary. It is sufficient to say that he supported it with his usual judgment and animation. The part of Ophelia was undertaken by Mrs. VESTRIS, and though it is essentially dif ferent from her usual style of acting,she acquitted herself tolerably well, and gave the songs with an affecting wild pathos. TERRY was a judicious Polonius, and DOWTON a very diverting Grave digger. A Mr. KING from Dublin was the Horatio—is is not a character of importance, and he was at least respectable. POWELL and COOPER, as usual, sustained the parts of the King and the Ghost with sufficient accuracy. The house was well attended. COVENT GARDEN.—The second appearance of Miss LACY last night in the part of Belvidera fully confirmed our favourable opinion of her talents, which we conceive entitle her to a very respectable station upon the London stage. Her performance, as we before observed, is marked by critical judgment as well as obvious sensibility. She was much applauded. Mr. C. KEMBLE again gave an admirable representation of Jajfier, and ABBOTT was again active and effective in the cha racter of Pierre. Tric LATE Mas. GARRICK.—There is a long extract in a respectable Morning Paper this day, taken from LEE LEWES'S Memoirs, respecting this Lady, in which she is represented as the natural daughter of the Earl of BURLINGTON. The story is told with romantic interest but is wholly fabulous. Signora VIOLETTI, late Mrs. GAnItICK, was first introduced into the Burling ton family by Lady BURLINGTON herself, in the capacity of companion, and she so endeared her self to the noble pair that they treated her with the affection of parents. The attachment, con trary to the story in question, began on the part of Mr. GARRICK, and the following anec dote, which is lightly mentioned by DAVIES, ill his Life of the great Actor, is a fact well known to the friends of Mr. GARRICK at the time :—An elderly Lady met Mr. GARRICK in the street, and asked him if his heart was engaged, for otherwise he might marry a young Lady of beauty, fortune, and virtue. Mr. GARRICK, who did not then know Signora VIOLETTI, answered in the negative, and the Lady assured him that he should hear from her soon. Many months passed away and no tidings came. At length he met the old Lady again, in the Strand, and ad dressed her, requesting to know why he had not heard from her. She told him that he was mistaken, that he had never seen her before, and that she did not know him. GARRICK was not so easily di verted from his purpose, and he told the Lady that he should not quit her till she had satisfied his curiosity. She then agreed to go with him into the back parlour of a respectable tradesman near the spot, with whom he had dealings. The Lady informed him that her young, beautiful, and affluent friend had seen him in some heroic part, and was charmed with his acting, conceiving that his own feelings must be congenial with the cha racter which he so ably supported, but that seeing him soon after in Abel Drugger, she was convinced that one who represented grovelling meanness and avarice so well must naturally be equally low-minded, her love was immediately at an end. GARRICK was so struck with this story, as he was then courting Signor VIOLETTI, and apprehending the possibility of a similar effect, he took care that whenever the BURLING , TON family sent for places, if he was to act a part in low comedy they should be informed that the Boxes had all been taken. Sir THomAs LAWRENCE has just finished a re duction of the Picture which he lately painted of his MAJESTY in ' the character of a private Gentleman, in order to its being engraved. Mr. WM. FINDEN, we believe, is the artist to whom this delicate task has been assigned, and we may expect from him a print that will do justice to the President of the Royal Academy. The Plate will probably take upwards of twelve months in completing. We likewise understand that the beautiful Portrait of the Countess of BLESINGTON, exhibited this year at Somerset House, is at present in the hands of an eminent engraver, sir Tiios. LAWRENCE having received directions from his Lordship to that effect within the last month. BUCKLEY MOUNTAIN CifURCIL—On Wednesday week, this edifice, erected under the Parliamentary grant, aided by subscription, was consecrated by the Lord Bishop of Chester ; the sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Gardner. At least iioo persons witnessed the ceremony ; among whom were the Earl and Countess Grosvenor, Lord Kenyon, Lord Forester, David Pennant, Esq. Hon. Lady Glynn, Mr. and Mrs. Wynne Eyton, Reverend W. W. Davies, Reverend Reginald Heber, &c. DRAWING INFERENCES.-Two clerical gentle men having called on a reverend brother in the country at rather an early hour in the morning, found the Minister in bed, so were ushered into the garden to look about them till his reve rence could get himself in a condition to receive them. Finding John, the Minister's man, busy at work, one of them entered into a familiar conversation with this " lesser prop of the church," and, amongst other things, inquired, " Weel, John, how s lang ha'e ye been wr the Minister ?"—" Indeed," quo' John, " I have been twa score years, Sir."—" Aye, twa score years ! then ye'll be able to preach yoursel by this time, John ?" " Na, na, Sir," replied honest John, " I canna preach, but I dinna think but I could draw a few inferences." " Wee], John," continued his interrogator, " what inference would ye draw frac that portion o' Scripture which says, " the ass snuffeth up the east wind." " If I were to draw any," replied the minister's man, shaking his head slowly and significantly, " it would be, that he would snuff lang ere he would get fat on't."—(Caledonianr. Mercury.) SUDDEN DEATH.—On Wednesday evening, about six o'clock, Mr. Sturtevant, glover and hosier, 36, Lud gate-street, corner of Stationers' -court, arrived home after an absence of five days ; he was sitting in the parlour in good health and spirits, conversing with his niece, when he com plained of a sudden pain in his breast. Mr. Box, the surgeon, was instantly sent for, but that Gentleinan being ill, Mr. Holmes, his assistant, came and bled Mr. Stutevant, who, whilst under the operation, fell back imhis chair and expired mmediately. He was 75 years of age, and had no childen. ARRIVALS.-Sir William de Crespigny, at his house in Bol ton-street, from his seat in Wales ; A. B.

The Earl of Liverpool and his amiable bride are spending the honey-moon at Dover.

LINES Written under a Head of Sappho, by the Rev. G. Croly. Look on this brow !—The laurel wreath Beamed on it like a wreath of fire ; For passion gave the living breath, That shook the chords of Sappho's lyre. Look on this brow !—The lowest slave, The veriest wretch of want and care, Might shudder at the lot that gave Her genius, glory and despair. For, from these lips were uttered sighs, That more than fever scorched the frame; And tears were rained from these bright eyes, That from the heart like life-blood came. She loved, she felt the lightning-gleam, That keenest strikes the loftiest mind ; Life quenched in one exstatic dream, The world a waste, before—behind. And she had hope—Cue treacherous hope, The last, deep poison of the bowl, That makes us drain it, drop by drop. Nor lose one misery of soul. Then all gave way mind, passion, pridel She cast one weeping glance above, And buried in her bed, the tide, The whole concentered strife of love ! SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

On Monday the Royal Hunt was well attended with com pany of all ranks: a fine deer was turned out of the cart at King's Beach-hill, soon after ten o'clock, for the (lay's diver sion.

The huntsmen and hounds, with a numerous field of sports men, went over Windsor Ferry, when they renewed the chace the other side of Eton College, the deer taking accross the field by Dauny Common, towards the Bath road, where he was taken after a chace of upwards of two hoUrs and a half of hard running.

Gordon, late of the Portuguese service, against the defendant, as surviving partner of the house of Campbell and Stewart, army agents, to recover the sum of 150!., being the amount of a bill of ex change remitted by the plaintiff, to Mr. Stewart, in the year 1816, with orders to invest it in the funds, which it appeared was not done, and Stewart since died in insolvent circum stances. The principal question in the case was, whether at the time the bill was remitted it was sent to Stewart only, or to the house of Campbell and Stewart, and on that point the evi dence was inconclusive. . _ The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up the:evidence, observed, that if the bill was remitted after the partnership of Campbell and Stewart had commenced, to the latter only, as the personal friend of the plaintiff (which it appeared he was), then their verdict must be for the defendant ; and he confessed that seemed to him the correct view of the case, though of that the Jury would form theieowu judgment. The Jury found a verdict for the defendant. BRANDT v. PEACOCK. This was an action for false imprisonment. The plaintiff is mechanist to his Maje sty , ! residing in Jrmyn street ; the defendant is an attordey, residing in Cambridge. It appearid that the plaintiff, to accommodate a friend of his, named Jones, accepted, in July 1820, a bill of exchange for 501., which dr. Jones afterwards paid, but the defendant did not give him up the bill, as he said it was at his office at Berne wall, near Cambridge, but he gave Mr. Jones a memorandum, acknowledging the receipt of the 501. for the bill. Mr. Jones afterwards applied for the bill several times, but could not get it from the defendant. In the year following the defendant, without giving any notice to Mr. Brandt, made affidavit to the debt, and arrested him. These facts being proved in evidence— Mr. GURNEY addressed the Jury for the defendant. He contended, that as there was no evidence to shew that the ar rest was malicious, the plaintiff was not entitled to any damages. The CHIEF JUSTICE said, that in any case the plaintiff' was entitled to recover the expences back which he had incur red, and it was for the Jury to decide the amount of damages, if they thought the arrest malicious. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages, 151. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. Yesterday these Sessions commenced before FRANcrs CONST, Esq., and a full Bench of Magistrates, at the Guildhall, West minster. Samuel Waddington applied to the Court. He stated that he had received a letter from Mr. Allen, Clerk of the Peace, re questing his attendance on the first day ofthe Sessions, at Guild hall, Westminster. His recognizances not being drawn, became forfeited, and consequently the usual proceeding would be taken against him. He was surprised at this, having regularly taken his trial, and was acquitted by a jury of his countrymen ; and certainly he did not feel himself responsible for any proceeding which might after that be instituted. lie had searched many law authors, and had taken the advice of many persons upon the subject, and he found no precedent which would authorise an further proceeding in a case which had been already deter mined in a regular Court. The CHAIRMAN' said he was ignorant of the matter; this Court had not ordered any proceedings to have been taken, and the Clerk of the Peace knew his own business. Mr. Allen observed, that the applicant was trying an experi ment. Probably he had been deputed, and paid for it. Waddington—No, Sir, I came .of my own accord. The CHAIRMAN then told him he had pothing to do with the matter ; he was satisfied. 'Waddington then sat down till nearly the rising of the Court, when he again addressed the Chairman, and that Gentleman listened with polite attention. Waddington—l understand, Sir, that you are satisfied ; but Mr. Allen is not. CH AIR mAN—My province is not to meddle with the business of the Clerk of the Peace. Waddington then read the letter he received from Mr. Allen, and his answer to it, in which he threatened to bring the matter before the Legislature. Cit Ala N—Mr. Waddington, I shall issue no orders from this Court ; the first you will hear of this probably will be from the Court of Exchequer. When you apply there they will ask you, why you had not applied to the Clerk of the Peace, and withdrawn your recognizance ? It is the duty of that Gentle man to send them to the Court of Exchequer. Waddington—l gave hail regularly before the Magistrates, and appeared at the last Sessions to my trial, when I was hiiltOttrabiy acquitted. If Mr. Allen made out his bill, I would distress myself to the last to satisfy him. CHAIRMAN—We have nothing here to do with it. Waddington then retired. SOUTHWARK SESSIONS. Yesterday the Sessions for the Town and Borough of South wark commenced before the LouD 31AYort, the RECORDER, the HIGH BAILIFF , and Alderman J. J. Smrrit. FALSE WEIGHTS AND iIIEASURES.—The Recorder, in his charge to the Grand Jury, stated that there was one circumstance connected with the trade of the Town and Borough of Southwark, to which he regretted to say he found it necessary to call their par ticulor attention. An immense number of tradesmen, upwards of 160, had been presented at the Court's Leet, for having usel false weights and measures, and he trusted that some effec tual means would be resorted to for putting an end to such a sys tem of disgraceful deception, by which the poorer classes of the people especially were daily suffering. No trial of any interest took place. ANCIENT COIN.—We last week mentioned that a very ancient coin had been found in this neighbourhood. A correspondent informs us, that " It is a gold coin of the weight of twenty-six grains. On the obverse in - the centre is the resemblance in rude outline of a ship with masts, ropes, and, I think, sails. At the ship's stern appears a banner or flag in square, but the square is divided into quarters. Over the fore part is a long cross. Above the ship at the top is a small 'crown. The inscription not being in any Saxon letters , known to me, after consulting Lye's Anglq-Saxon Dictionary, I can give you no account of it.— On the reverse, in the centre are four fleurs-de-lis in a lozenge, with several pelletts on each side of it. This is sur rounded with an inscription in the same characters as on the other side. It appears that is now a settled point that gold was coined in England before Edward 111. Henry 111., in 1257 caused to be coined in London a penny of fine gold, weighing two stetlings. This coin was not acceptable to the citizens of London, and the King published a pro clamation declaring nobody was obliged to take it.— Other coins having a ship upon them are generally seen with the figure of the King with a sword and shield. To the figure of a ship, the English nation have ever had a very just par tiality. Speakiuig of the noble, a poet says— ' Four things our noble sheweth unto me, King, Ship, and Sword, and power of the Sea." Cambridge Chronicle.) EXTRAORDINARY CONVICTION.—At the Salis bury Sessions, an Tuesday last, Mary Pike was convicted of stealing some bricks, the property of Mrs: Matmi. This lady has been one of the most benevolent women in Salisbury ; and the Magistrates, knowing her character, and tho roughly believing that a lady of her respectability could not have buen guilty of such an offence, instead of seven years' transportation, mildly commuted it to four months' imprisonment. The bricks were valued at three farthings, and the expence to the city will he 351.! The value of all the goods for which prisoners have been tried at these sessions does not amount to 405., while the charge amounts to 751.—(Southampton County Chronicle.) THE ARMY.

SUGAR FOR PRESERVING FISII.-Dr.lslTutfoch; of Edinburgh, has ascertained that the antiseptic quality of sugar is suf f icient to preserve fish, in the most excellent condition. He states, that this substance is so active, that fish may be preserved in a dry state, and perfectly fresh, by means of sugar alone, and even with a very small quantity of it. Hellas thus kept salmon, whitings, and cod, for an indefinite length of time ; and by this simple means fresh fish may be kept in that state some days, so as to be as good when boiled as when just caught. It is added, that "if dried and kept free from mouldiness, there seems no limit to their preservation; and they are much better in this way than when salted. The sugar gives no disagreeable taste. This process is particularly valuable in making what is called kippered salmon ; and the fish preserved in this man ner are far superior in quality and flavour to those which are salted or smoked. If desired, as much salt may be used as to give the taste that may be required; but this substance does not conduce to their preservation. In the preparation, it is bare ly necessary to open the fish, and to apply the sugar ,to the inuscular part, placing it in a horizontal position for two or three days, that this substance may penetrate. After this it may be dried; and it is only farther necessary to wipe and ventilate it occasionally, to prevent mouldiness. A table spoonful of brown sugar is sufficient in this manner for a salmon of five or six pounds weight ; and if salt is desired, a tea spoonful or more may be added ; saltpetre may be used instead, in the same proportion, if it is desired to make the kipper hard." A ROBBER SuoT.—The dwelling-house of COOPER, Esq. of West Ham, had been burglariously entered, and robbed several times within the last few months of property of various kinds to a large amount. A suspicion being entertained of some of the servants being privy to the robbery, Bacwri, the City officer, attended at the house to investigate the matter; but all efforts to discover the thief were unavailing until a few nights ago : while the butler was on the watch in the pantry, the robber entered the house ; but finding himself discovered, he made a hasty retreat, followed by the butler, who discharged his piece at him, and lodged the con tents (small shot) from the back of his head to , his loins. The robber then turned out to be an old servant, who had lived many years in the fainily. lie is now in the Lout:in Hospital. SWINDLERS.—Three females and a man Of very dashing exterior, lately took lodgings at a house in Devonshire-place, where they lived in a most sumptuous style, and• contracted debts to a con siderable amount with various tradesmen in the neighbourhood. On Sunday week they left Brighton for a day's pleasure, as they said, to Worthing, but have not since been heard of; and the landlord of 'the house, and the tradesmea have found, to their cost, how little outward ap pearances are to be trusted.—A fellow of the name of Dias, has recently been swindling ,a number of tradesmen of this town, getting their property under a variety of specious pretences, which, as soon as he had possession of, it appears he converted into money by selling or pledging. Through representing himself to have greet expec, tations he succeeded in obtaining from some persons clothes, jewellery, &c. to a very considerable amount, but finding himself detected, he sans ce remonie took leave of the town. He is gone, we understand, to Margate, no doubt with a 'view to recommence his operations there. He is a good looking young man, about 20 years of age, of pleasing manners, of a dark complexion, and dresses in the first style of fashion.—(B right on Gazette.)
