THE THEATRE. The season commenced at Covent Garden Theatre, last night, with the Comedy of Twelfth Night, and though in its present form of repre sentation it is but a mangled work of our great dramatic Bard, yet even the compiled fragments from his hand are more acceptable than the works of most other Poets. The play was cast in the same manner as last year, with the exception of Sir Toby Belch, by Mr. BARTLEY, vice poor EMERY, and BLANCHARD in Sir indrezo Ague Cheek, vice LISTON. BARTLEY is so respectable a general Actor that, in the competition which is understood to exist between the two Patent Theatres, it is strange that he was not snapped up by the active Lessee of the rival Theatre.— Though his performance of Sir Toby ought to be considered as a public rehearsal of the part, it was supported with obvious judgment, and jovial spirit. He stood, therefore, in no need of such a lenient consideration, and he was warmly received on his entrance, and throughout his per formance. Of BLANCHAD, in Sir Andrew, our report ought not to be less favourable. He re presented the part with genuine simplicity, and rendered it sufficiently prominent in the piece. The rest of the characters, as before, were assigned to ABBOTT, FARREN, FAWCETT, CHAPMAN, &C. and they all acquitted them selves respectably. Miss LOVE, for the first time, we believe, took the part of Olivia, and she displayed evident improvement in acting as well as singing.—Miss TREE resumed the part of Viola, which she performed. with the feeling and unaffected simplicity which always marked her previous performance of it. She sung delightfully, and was encored in Bisllor's best air," Bid me dis course." We feel regret in making any objection to her acting, but in the fighting scene she was wrong in making an active attack on Sir Andrew, after she had discovered his cowardice, as she should still have betrayed the same timidity ; and her attempts to wound him were inconsistent with the delicacy and tenderness of the part. The masque of Juno and Ceres was exhibited with picturesque beauty, and the flying cupirls added n►uch to the scene. The Theatre is much improved in one respect, essential to the pleasure of those who visit the front boxes, at the back of which a new lobby has Been formed, in the place of what was styled the Basket, which was before the haunt of unfortu nate females, and drunken coxcombs, who were a constant disturbance. This alteration gives three additional benches to the four which pre viously existed, and, of course, affords increas ed accommodation to the Public. On the first rising of the curtain the chief of the Vocal Corps appeared on the stage, and sung " God save the King," with every testimony of loyal acclama tion on the part of the audience, who were more in number than has been usual on the com mencement of a Season. The lower boxes were well attended, and the pit was quite full. The house has received some refreshment in its orna mental parts, and altogether exhibited an elegant and striking appearance. We were surprized to see Mrs. COUTTS'S box wholly boarded up in front, a circumstance that we conclude must have been accidental, as it is impossible that the fair and benevolent owner could have given orders for such an appearance of gloomy state, or that she has not numerous friends whom she would be happy to gratify with the use of it during her absence from town. Yesterday his Excellency Baron WERTIIER, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten tiary of his Majesty the King of Prussia, jointly with Mr. N. M. ROTHSCHILD, and accompanied by Mr. I.3ortriT, Notary-Public, cancelled and deposited in the Bank of England the amount of Fifty Thousand Pounds in Special Bonds of the Prussian Loan,negociated by Mr. N. M.Rothschild in London, being the second half of the sum fixed for the redemption of Bonds in the fourth year; and also the saving of the Interest on the Four Hundred and Fifty-nine Thousand Two Hundred Pounds, redeemed to the Ist April, 1822, in GIVEN TO THE CHALLENGE OF A DUEL iTiT.—"` I have two objections to this duel mat ter, the one is lest I should hurt you, and the other is lest you should hurt me. Ido not see any good it would do me to put a bullet through any part of your body ; I could make no use of you when dead for any culinary purpose, as would a rabbit or a turkey. I ari no cannibal to feed on the flesh of men ! Why then shoot down a human creature of which I could make no use ? A buffalo would be better meat. For though your flesh might be delicate and tender, yet it wants, that firmness and consistency which takes and retains salt. At any rate it would not be fit for long voyages. You might make a 'good barbacue, it is true ; being of the nature of a racoon or an opossum ; but people are not in the habit of barbacuing any thing human now.— As to your hide it is not worth takhag off, being little better than that of a year-old colt. As to myself, I do not like much to stand in the way of any thing harmful. lam under apprehensions you might hit me. That being the case, I think it most advisable to stay at a distance. H . you want to try your pistol, take some object, a tree or a barn-door, about my dimensions. If you hit that, send me word, and I shall acknowledge that if Lhad been in the same place you might also have hit me."—(American Paper.) CHURCH PREFERMENT.—A Curate, who had numerous family, but no patron or political inte rest, was prompted by his wants, and a favour able opportunity, which the sudden death of his Rector afforded, to make a personal application to Lord Thurlow. The Chancellor was struck with his,appearance and address, and after hear ing his 'story, whimsically asked him cc Whom have you to recommend you ?"—" Only the Lord of Hosts, my Lord."—" Well,"replied Thurlow, instantly, " as it is the first recommendation 1 have had from his Lordship, be assured I shall at tend to it," and presented him to the living. His Majesty's ship Larne, which arrived at Portsmouth on Wednesday last, has brought to England seve ral valuable curiosities, amongst which are a Jupiter Ammon goat, a rock scorpion, and that wonderful animal a Maltese smytch, not to be found in any other part of the world.—(Ply mouth Telegraph.)

THE LATE DUCHESS OF NEWCASTLE.—The Duchess of NEWCASTLE was, in every respect, an ornament to her family. Devoted to the care and supermtendance of a young and nu merous family, anxiously promoting the happiness of her .hus band, kind and considerate to her servants and dependants, this excellent woman gained the love and esteem of all around her. The principles and dispositions of the Noble Duke ren dered him very capable of appreciating the worth of his amiable partner, and he proved that he did so, by being a faithful and affectionate husband. The Duchess had brought to him a very considerable addition to his property, but the manner in which they lived together, sufficiently manifested that their union was founded on a far more lasting basis than the love of money on his part, or that of rank on hers. Death removed her from him when she was little more than thirty years of age, leaving a very numerous family—the rapid increase of which probably occa sioned her early death. • ..

Where London bridge now stands, there was formerly a ferry, which was so profitable to the ferryman, that at his decease he so enriched his sole daughter, that she built a bridge of timber. This bridge was burnt in the year 1136, in the time of King Stephen. It was afterwards rebuilt by a Priest, called Peter of Cole Church, by the help of the revenues of land belonging to the bridge and other benevolent contribu tions. It continued a bridge of timber for 215 years. It was then made of stone, and was 33 years in building. On the 10th of July, 1822, a fire took place on the Southwark side, which kindled also in the city near the northern end of the bridge. Multitudes came upon the bridge to extinguish the flames, likewise in barges and boats to rescue the people, so that 'between the flood and the flame 3000 persons perished. In 1215, five arches were borne down by the ice. Near the middle of the bridge on the east side, was a Chapel, which was converted into a dwelling-house, and was built at the charge of the master mason who laid the foundation of the stone bridge. This bridge is in length 800 feet. It was formerly adorned with sumptuous buildings and ,stately . and beautiful houses on both sides; inhabited by wealthy citizens, and furnished with all sorts of trades, and was itself a little city, whose buildings were so artificially contrived, and so firmly com bined, that it seemed more than an ordinary street, for it was one continual vault or roof, except a few void places, re served from buildings, for the retirement of passengers, from the danger of earth and droves of cattle that then usually passed that way. The middle parts were used for shows, tournaments, and public diversions, but were sup pressed at the dissolution of religious houses with the Chapel of St. Thomas, which was a beautiful construction ; it had an entrance from the river as well as the street, by a winding staircase,. and in the middle was a tomb, supposed to contain the remains of Peter of Cole Church. In one part of the brid g e was a draw-bridge, which was protected by a strong tower.—lt served to repulse Fauconbridge, the bastard, in his general assault on the City in 1471, with a set of banditti, in - order to rescue the unfortunate Henry, then confined in the Tower.— The top of this Tower was covered with the heads of traitors and unfortunate partisans ; and Sir Thomas More's daugh ter carried away his head in a box after it had been exhibited there some time. In 1598, Mentzer, the German traveller, counted 30 heads. The old map of the city, in 1597, repre sents them in a most horrible cluster. Formerly the economical ladies were wont to drive from St. James's to London-bridge, to make cheap purchases of the pin or needle-makers; Spanish needles were then the order of the day, invented by a negro. —The water-works were contrived by Peter Morice, a Dutch man, in 1582 ; they were afterwards improved by Mr. Soro cold, and since by that great. master of hydraulics, Mr. Har ley. They are allowed by all judges of such machines to be far superior to the water-engine so much famed at Mar ley, in France, which is so ill contrived in its cranks, that it costs considerable sums to keep it in repair. They were first made to force the water no higher than Gracechurch-street. The engineer obtained from the city a lease for 500 years, at the yearly rent of 10s. for the use of the Thames water, and one arch, and a place for fixing his mill upon. Afterwards the citizens granted him a like lease for another arch. By which means he grew rich, and they continued in his family till 1701, when they were sold to Richard Seams, Citizen and Goldsmith, for 36,000/. ; then divided into 300 shares, at 500/. each share, and made into a company.—P. T. W. MAGISTRATES' CHAMBER, AYLESBURY.--A curious charge was preferred by Francis Hull, of Weston Tur rifle, against a publican and the constable of Long Marston, Herts, which, if substantiated, will prove that a little more knowledge in the Jaw is a requisite qualification for office and authority than seems to be possessed by those against whom the complaint is lodged. Hull stated that he had been at Dunstable market, and returning towards home he came to Long Marston, where he civilly requested accommodation, and a bed for the night, at a public-house. Both these requests were uncivilly denied, and instead of a bed, the constable, with the assistance of the landlord, put Hull into the stocks. Hull, however, contrived to extricate himself from " durance vile ;" but his persecutors were on the alert, and followed him to Tring, Halton; and in short, all the way to Weston Tur ville ; during this march he was overtaken, and set at liberty twice, but not till they had obtained forty shillings from him, which they at fi rs t ret urne d t o hi m on his remonstran ces an d threats of legal investigation. However, they subsequently al tered their minds, and obliged him to pay forty shillings the se cond time, and then bound him to keep the peace ; on which occasion the landlord at the Red Lion at Weston, where the last capture was effected, became his security. Upon this he was finally dismissed. Thus the constable remains charged by Hull with having obtained two pounds, and with having acted in another county. A warrant was obtained to be backed by a Magistrate of Herts, agains the publican and constable.— (Rucks Chronicle.) p•DE TW Y. LADY. JANE GREY. The following lines (which appeared in the London Magazine) were written on visiting Bradgate Park, Leicestershire, the residence of the lovely Lady JANE GREY was thy home then, gentle Jane ! This thy green solitude ;—and here At evening, from thy gleaming pane, , Thine eye oft watch'd the dappled deer,. • While the soft sun was in its wane, Browsing beneath the brooklet clear : The brook runs still, the sun sets now, The deer yet browseth ; where art thou ? Oh, gentle Dudley ! Where art thou ? Rave years so roll'd that not a track Of even thy chamber lingereth now To call thine image sweetlier back ? The careless chair at window bow, , The ruin'd lute, the crumbling wrack Of broidery, the forgotten glove, The learned book, thy virgin love ; None, none of these abide to tell Thy gentle talc,—yet it is told ! The silence of the breathless dell Is musical of thee ; the cold And mournful water passed' well Thy house's ruin, as of old, And pineth with a watery sound Its little hymn to thy lone ground ! The air is sainted ;—never shone More tender light or greener grass, Than that which kisseth turf and stone Of thy decayed house ; alas ! The aged drowsing trees make moan For thee, sweet girl ! And many a lass Pauseth at morn upon her way, And grieveth for the Lady Grey. Here was thy life ! Here was thy bower, By this light water ! Thy hard death Was far away in town and tower, And cruel hands destroy'd thy breath : Might they not let so young a flower Bud all its beauty in life's wreath ? What must have been that guilty sense, That had such fear of innocence ! But though thy young and bridal heart Was tortured, thy brave spirit, still Untroubled, left its mortal part, And halloweth now each dell and hill : It lived' by a gracious art For ever here ; and that wild thrill The stranger feels of love and pain, Is the present voice of the Lady Jane.

MATCH TO 'MAIDENHEAD AND BACK TO KENSING TON.-Mr. Barnard West, the pedestrian, started at 12 o'clock on Monday night to go from Kensington to Maidenhead bridge and back, forty-eight miles, in seven hours, for a stake of 200 guineas. Betting was 6 and 7t04 on time. The pedestrian did eight miles in the first hour, eight and a half in the second, and he halted at Slough, 19 miles of his match. He reached Maidenhead-bridge in three hours and 18 minutes, fresh. He travelled on to Colnbrook at the rate of seven miles an hour, and he halted at Brentford, having the last five miles to do in forty minutes. He won the match with great difficulty, having three minutes to spare. , LORD CHANCELLOR ELDON a wonderful in stance of good fortune. He was the pupil, of Mr. Bray, the great conveyancer, who was the nephew of Matthew Duane, the great Roman Catholic conveyancer. .Such was his assi duity and attention, that Mr. B. observed, " there are several of the young men in my office, who possess equal, and , even greater talents. than Scott, but none who have equal patience, or plod so much. I therefore have great hOpes of him." Mr. Scott, however, had no great hopes of himself; for he despaired of rising in Westminster Hall, and actually conceived the idea of retiring into the country, and prac tising as a provincial lawyer. Accordingly, when the Re cordership of Newcastle became vacant, he applied to Mr. Bray for his interest on this occasion. The latter assured him of his utmost efforts on his behalf, but recommended a longer trial. On a longer trial he succeeded. At that penod he resided at Powis-place, near Great Ormond-street, in the vicinity of his old master; dined every day at half past three, and at five regularly trudged down 'to Chambers. —As lie constantly passed the door of Mr. Bray, the latter was accustomed to say to his wife, " Remark what I say, my dear; you will live to see this young man Lord .Chancellor of Great Britain !" a . prophecy that was actually fulfilled in a very few years. The pride of wealth of the SUrtees wa..§ wounded' at the .alliance ; the country banker and his family disdained connexion with the son of a coal-fitter and' he grand son of a coal-skipper; but the young lawyer replied officially, by affixing his seal as Lord Chancellor to the docket that sanctioned the bankruptcy of the family. Dr. Burnaby and Mathews, Esq., two of the commissioners appointed under Mr. Brougham's act for investi gating the state of charitable foundations for the • purposes of education, have arrived here ; and on Monday commenced with an examination of those connected with the corporation of this town.—( Hull Rockinghatn.) , On Saturday morning last three great fish, of the whale tribe, of enormous bulk and uncommon appearance, were discovered in shoal water, close by the' lesser Saltee Island, off the county of Wexford. They appeared much weakened by their efforts to get in deep water, and two of them were secured without much difficulty by the persons who dis covered them, but the third escaped. They were of a deep black colour all over ; the skin perfectly smooth ; one about 25, the other nearly 30 feet in length : the body, at the fullest part near the head, 15 to 16 feet in girth. They were almost immediately cut up for the sake of the blubber, the quantity of which was so large as to yield above 200 gallons of fine clear oil.—( Waterford Chronicle.) THE ARMY.

P asse d b y the onge Adrian, Bonn, from Rotterdam to Batavia ; and the Graham Moore, Lash, from Lisbon to London. HARWICH, Oc T. I.—Arrived the Leinster, Hammond, from Cuxhaven, with mails, &c. SEPT. 30.—The continuation of the easterly wind has added much to life and bustle of the town ; during the last week, upwards of wo sail of vessels bound to the North, remain wind bound in our harbour. On Wednesday, the Superb, Leith and Edinburgh packet, put in with her mainmast sprung, which was refitted, and she sailed with the rest of the fleet on Friday, the wind having come round to the north ; in the course of the day, however, it blew hard from the east, and all again put back. The Superb, which had reached as far as Winterton, was found to have sprung a leak, which required much exertion to keep under. The Delf, a fine Dutch 64 gun ship, one of the vessels which surrendered at the Texel, has been sent by Government as a breakwater for the protection of the north side of the town : she was towed from Chatham by the Comet steam vessel, the same which performed that ser. vice to the Royal George with his Majesty to the North. • DISTRESSING SHIPWRE CK .— O n Wed n esday night, the Selina, of Barmouth, bound from Newport to Liver pool, and laden with bar and sheet iron, and tin, was driven on the Arklow Bank, where she soon became a complete wreck. Part of the crew got into the long boat, and the remainder into the jolly boat. Those in the latter (the Mate and two small boys) were saved ; but with painful feelings we have to state, that those in the long boat, consisting of the Captain, his wife, and three sailors, unfortunately perished. The vessel is under water. Her stern and sides were driven in ; but her masts, we believe, are still standing.—( Wexford Herald.) CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 2. On Monday last Flour fell ss. per sack. 'We have had no arrivals of consequence since that day, and the Market was very heavy this morning; an abatement took place in the price of Wheat ; the New Barley was heavy sale, at 2s. per quarter lower than last market-day ; Oats are somewhat in demand; in Beans and Peas, and all other articles, there is no alteration. HOP INTELLIGENCE. CANTERBURY, SEPT. 30.—Our Hop Market is fully sup plied. Pockets of the very best quality, of the East Kent and Canterbury growths, find a ready sale. Bags are not in re. quest; inferior Hops are a heavy sale, although offered at very low prices. It is expected the market will be fully attended on Wednesday next.—Prices, Pockets, 555. to 808. very fine 84s. Bags, 50s. to 70s. rery fine 725. to 765. per cwt. .BoaorGii, SEPT. 30.—Our Market for new Hops is steady in demand, and good Bags and Pockets maintain their cur rency :—Kent Pockets, 50s. to 635. to 90s. per cwt.—Sussex Pockets, 4Us. to 48s. to 565. per cwt.—Kent Bags, 455. to 84s.— Sussex Bags, 40s. to 50s. MAIDSTONE, SEPT. 30.—The Hop-pickinm is nearly finish_ ed, and we suppose, by the middle of thi s week,' the whole of the grounds in this neighbourhood will be entirely cleared.— The crops in most places have been very abundant, generally exceeding the quantity calculated. The samples vary very much in quality, and it is the prevailing opinion that good Hops will fetch higher prices than now quoted. The sale at our market on Thursday was somewhat dull, but prices were looking up. A few lots of bags fetched 665. and 70s. Cran brook Fair yesterday was well attended both by planters and merchants. A great many samples of Hops were produced, but the prices being so ruinously low, there was but little business done.—The chief prices were from 48s. to 525., a few lots fetched 545. to 565. CORONER'SINQUEST.-FATAL EFFECTS OF IN• T OXIC AT I ON.—Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, an inquisition was held at the Union Tavern,' in John-street, Oxford-street. before Thomas Stirling, Esq., on view of the body. of Mr. 'Thomas Craig, aged 38 whose death we announced in our p a per of yes terday.—Mr. Jacob Craig, on being sworn,.deposed that the de ceased was his brother. • On Sunday, between ten and eleven o'clock, the deceased was on the landing place, and appeared to be going into the bed room ; he was intoxicated, and wanted to go out, but Mrs. Craig desired he might be kept in doors. Wit ness watched in the passage to prevent his going out, and the porter of the house watched in the drawing-room. While witness was watching in the passage between the first mid second floor, he saw the deceased get out of the sitting-room window on the second floor; witness thought he was in Mrs. Craig's bed-room ;. witness instantly called to the porter, who ran into the street to see after the deceased, as witness was too much agitated to go himself, but observed two men le a di ng th e d ecease d i nto the passage; he walked very lame, and appeared to be nearly insen sible. Mr. Striven, a surgeon, was immediately called in, who rendered him every possible assistance, with other medical 'gentlemen, but the deceased died the same evening. He at tempted to drop from the window, and not throw himself out carelessly.—Mr. H. Striven examined—Knew the deceased before the accident took place; has no doubt his intellects ' were injured by excesses ; he found the deceased on a bed, with his hip disloeated, and the bone broken in the socket ; he had a slight bruise on the knee. From the state of his constitution, and the injury he received from the fall, he must have ruptured some of the blood-vessels of the head, which occasioned his death.—The porter's evidence merely proved that the deceased said he had drank but one glass of.shrub that moming, nor ha 4 he been out of the house more than two minutes ; the deceased was intoxicated on Saturday night, and hot sober on Sunday moniine b .—The Jury then viewed the body ; and on 'their re t urn , th e Coroner said they had heard the evidence, and seen the bOdy, also the win dow he got out of, and they could not think he intended to kill himself.—The Jury returned their verdict—" That the deceased met his death by a fall, in attempting to get out of a second floor window, while in a state of intoxication." The Galway Advertiser of Saturday states, tat fever has dlubled within the last few days. If some specific, remedy is not immediately applied to che c k it s p r o gress , th e con sequences will be dreadful, as it has assumed a most malig nant aspect. We are very sorry to observe, that three of the physiciars have contracted the disease, and are now labouring ander its baneful influence. One poor man, who lately had six children, took the fever—his children were left neglect ed; and when lie was restored, or rather became convalescent, and left the hospital, he found five of his children dead, and the other quite in a sickly state—his heart was broke—his strength, or mind, or body, was incapable to hold up against such a blow, and he laid himself down, sayin g h e h a d no wish to live longer—and before our readers peruse this, we venture to state he will be no more ! The fever hospital cannot accommo date cr relieve the hundreds that are diseased. The Circuit Court of Justiciary commenced its proceedings at Ayr on Friday week, and finished the business before the Court the following day. It was comparatively un important; and the Right .Hon. the' Lord Justice' CLERIC, who presided, on dismissing the Jury, took special notice of th e fact. " The lower classes, his Lordship said, " seemed to be again returning to thir former sober, virtuous, and religious habits. In the late English Circuits, the cases had been fewer, and; in general, less atrocious than on any former cir cuit; and in Scotland; particularly'the southern district, the decrease of crime was considerable. His Lordship] rusted this happy• state would long continle ; but, should the re. verse be the case, he relied with confidence on the exertions of the .Sheriffs in bringing the offenders to justice. His Lordship congratulated the county on the great acquisi. tion they had attained in the Hall where they now sat, and in the gaol and offic6s connected with it. The uncommon liberality of assessment to which the county submitted for this laudable purpose, during times of the greatest distress, reflected immortal honour on it, and on the gentlemen who succeeded in bringing forward so g eat and important a measure in such times, and ought to endear to all parties the Noblemen and Gentlemen who had so acted, and by whose spirited conduct most excAlert a commodation was 'um affordel for jury, wit. nesses, and the public."—(Edinburgh Courant, Sept. 28.)
