KING'S THEATRE.—The Great Room in this Theatre was opened last night for Mr. GRIES• BACH'S Annual Concert, under the patronage of the Princess AUGUSTA. In the first act, a Not turno for two oboes, two clarionets, two horns, and two bassoons, was admirably performed by Messrs. F. GRIESBACII, SIIARP WILLMAN, MAHON, PUZZI, PETRIDES, TULLY, and MACK INTOSH. The music is an early composition of MOZART, for wind instruments. A duet, from Pietro L'Eremita, was well given by CURIONI and ZUCHELLI. Miss 11. ASHE made her first appearance in this Room, and sung the air with great taste, which was to have been sung by Mrs. SALMON, who was unavoidably prevented from attending. She was highly applauded. A Fantasia on the violin, by KIESEWETTER, closed the first act, and received warm ap plause. In the second act, Madame RONZI DE BEGNIS, and Signor DE BEGNIS, distin guished themselves very successfully, the first in a Scena and Aria, by'MozAnT, and both in a Duet of MoscA. In this act MOSCHELES gave a wonderful display of skill on the piano-forte. — The Room was tolerably well attended, consider ing the advanced season. We were glad to see that veteran patron of music, Lord lI.ISIPDEN, ap pear to be so well in health. HAYMARKET.—The new Comedy of three acts, the acknowledged production of Mr. KENNY, was brought forward last night at this Theatre, under the title of John Buzzby, or a Day's Pleasure. We subjoin the official report of the CHARACTERS and the FABLE : DRAMATIS PERSON/E. John Buzzby - Mr. TERRY. Major Aubrey - - Mr. YOUNGER. Mr. Anderson - - Mr. FAULKNER. Captain Greville Mr. JONES. Captain Maitland - Mr. JOHNSON. Jingle - Mr. OXBERRY. Natty Briggs - - Mr. W. WEST. Julia - Mrs. JOHNSTON. Cecilia - Miss BOYCE. Mrs. Buzzby - Mrs. P- EARCE. Jenny - - Mrs. CHATTERLEY. Scene—Richmond. THE PLOT. John Buzzby, a respectable London shopkeeper, wishing to enjoy one day free from the troubles of an overbearing wife and an impertinent Cockney son-in-law (Natty Briggs) pretends a journey to Deptford on business, and in reality takes a stage coach trip to Richmond in search of pleasure. Mrs. Buzzby and her booby son, thinking Mr. Buzzby safe in Kent, deter mine also on a joyous expedition, unluckily to the very same place, viz. Richmond, and take with them Cecilia, a ward of the Buzzhys, whose fortune Mrs. B. wishes to secure by mar rying her to Natty Briggs. John Buzzby makes acquaintance in the stage-coach with an interesting female (Julia), who is lately married to a naval officer (Anderson), and having for merly had a thoughtless, though perfectly innocent literary cor respondence with a Captain Greville , goes to Richmond to ask Major Aubrey (uncle of the Captain) to procure a restitution of her letters, which Greville had improperly shewn, and which she fears may involve her husband, should he hear of it, in a duel. The Lady finding in Buzzby every appearance of re spectability, relies on that and his age, so far as to ask him to accompany her to the Major's, that he may afterwards, if needful, attest the propriety of her visit, having in the hurry of her anxiety overlooked before she left town the neces sity of a respectable companion. These circumstances the Lady is often about to communicate to Buzzby, but is always inter rupted, and the good-natured and honest tradesman becomes her chaperon, on the credit of her appearance, and in conse quence gets into a series of dilemmas, which turns his day of pleasure into one of whimsical embarrassment and uncommon vexation, not a little heightened by the arrival of Mrs.Buzzby, who is equally disappointed of her intended jovial day, by find- Mg her husband walking about Richmond with a fine woman, and a military officer claiming the hand of her ward, Cecilia, of whom Mrs. Buzzby and her son had by misrepresentation endeavoured to deprive him. The husband of Julia meets with Greville, and while they arrange a meeting with pistols, Buzzby, with the best intentions in the world, gets embroiled with both in her defence ; he is also equally blamed by Major Aubrey, and every effort he makes for the good of others in. volves him in some new trouble. The comic incidents arising from these contretemps are aided by the introduction of Jingle, a facetious Richmond innkeeper, who suffers none to speak but himself ; his daughter, Jenny, who equally loves talking, but is never suffered to open her mouth (and who is dying in love of Lieutenant Maypole); 'and a gawky country waiter I (Simon), who is equally and unsuccessfully in love with his young mistress, Jenny. The general fracas likely to take place from the numerous mistakes and misapprehension des cribed, is prevented by the intervention of Major Aubrey, who at length succeeds in reconciling all parties, and conclud ing a day of trouble with an evening of heartful pleasure. The public have been long indebted to Mr. KENNY for many very amusing dramatic produc tions, and he has on this occasion increased their obligations by a very diverting Comedy of three acts. The piece is of that light and entertaining description which has invariably characterized the dramatic works of this Theatre, from its ori ginal opening under the celebrated SAM. FooTE, and during the successive reigns of the elder and the younger COLMAN, with the exception of some of those plays of blended humour and pathos from the latter, who is unrivalled in productions of that de scription. From the number and variety of the in cidents contained in John Buzzby, it may be sup posed by our Readers that the plot is too com plicated to be intelligible, but this is not the case, as the author has displayed great ingenuity in making them follow with quick succession, but so clearly and distinctly as to excite and gratify the audience. The dialogue is calculated chiefly to promote the plot and develope the characters, and this purpose is effectually secured. The whole is indeed such a bustling and so amusing a piece that nothing flags on the attention, and though there is much of the improbable in parts, and indeed altogether, yet, as the stage is ha bituated to the improbable, it may fairly be said that it does not exceed the customary bounds. The comedy excited laughter throughout, with out the slightest mark of disapprobation, and was announced for repetition with the universal and hearty consent of a numerous audience.— The acting in general was well calculated to give support to the piece. TERRY hardly ever appeared to more advantage ; he was the main spring, and it moved with admirable celerity.— His hopes, his unceasing curiosity, and his perpetual disappointments, were shewn with most amusing effect. JONES and OXBERRY also deserve a very commendatory notice. W. WEST cannot be called a promising actor, for he is al ready a very good one. FAULKNER supported the part of-Anderson with judgment and feeling, but he was not sufficiently well dressed to justify the choice of his wife, and her preference of him to a dashing young military officer. Mrs. 11. JOHNSON, Mrs. PEARCE, Miss BOYCE, and Mrs. CHATTERLEY gave all requisite support to their respective characters. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—The pleasant Comic Opera-of Free and Easy was represented last night at this Theatre. Miss CAREW ) for the first time, in Eugenia, Miss POVEY, and Mr. POWER, also for the first time, in Mrs. Courtly and Richard; and they all proved that they well under stood their characters by the feeling and spirit of their acting. Free and Easy was followed by Love among the Roses, which is a pleasant al ' the stock-pieces of this Theatre ; aid the last was the affecting drama of The MzUer's Maid. The audience was very numerous in all parts, and the pieces were all throughout well received. POETRY. A MOTHER'S DIRGE OVER HER CHILD. Bring me flowers all young and,sweet, That I may strew the winding sheet, Where calm thou sleepest, baby fair, With roseless cheek, and auburn hair ! Bring me the rosemary, whose breath Perfumes the wild and desert heath ; The lily of the vale, which, too, In silence and in beauty grew. Bring cypress from some sunless spot, Bring me the blue forget-me-not, That I may strew them o'er thy bier With long-drawn sigh, and gushing tear. Oh what upon this earth cloth prove So stedfast as a mother's love ! Oh what on earth can bring relief, Or solace, to a mother's grief ! No more, my baby shalt thou lie With drowsy smile, and half shut eye, Pillow'd upon my fostering breast, Serenely sinking into rest ! The grave must be thy cradle now ; The wild flowers o'er thy breast shall grow, While still my heart, all full of thee, In widow'd solitude shall be. No taint of earth, no thought of sin, E'er dwelt thy stainless breast within; And God hath laid thee down to sleep, Like a pure pearl below the deep. Yea ! from mine arms thy soul hath flown Above, and found the heavenly throne, To join that blest angelic ling, That aye around the altar sing. Methought, when years had roll'd away, That thou wouldst be mine age's stay, And often have I dreamt to see The boy—the youth—the man in thee. But thou bast past ! for ever gone, To leave me childless and alone, Like Rachel, pouring tear on tear, And looking not for comfort here ! Farewell, my child, the dews shall fall At morn and evening o'er thy pall; And daisies, when the vernal year Revives, upon thy turf appear. The earliest snow-drop there shall spring,, And lark delight to fold its wing, And roses pale, and lilies fair, With perfume load the summer air ! Adieu, my babe ! if life were long, This would be even a heavier song, But years like phantoms quickly pass, Then look to us from Memory's glass. Soon on Death's couch shall I recline; Soon shall my head be laid with thine ; And sunder'd spirits meet above, To live for evermore in love ! SPORTING INTELLIGENCI. IPSWICH RACES, JULY 2.

CRICKET.—The Grand Cricket Match at LORD'S Ground, between the Godalming Club with three given men, Begley, Saunders, and Broadbridge, against the Marylebone Club, was decided on Tuesday in favour of the Alarylebone Club. GODALMING. First Innings - - 99 Second Ditto - - 165-264 MARYLEBONE. First Innings - - - - 301 Marylebone won in one inninks, and 37 runs-6 to 4on Go. dalming at starting, afterwards 6 to 1 on 31arylebone. On Saturday, the 22d ult. a match of running took place at Wingham, between the married men and bachelors of that place, which was won by the latter, to the no small chagrin of their opponents, who, from their success in former years, had risked considerable sums of money that they again carried of the palm of victory.—( Maidstone Gazette.) It is well known, as was stated on Tuesday night by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, that nearly three millions and a half of taxes have been taken off in the course of the Session. In addition to which Mr. VANSITTART announced, that on account of the probably increasing state of the Revenue, he might safely consent to the total repeal of the Salt Tax in 18 , 24. The Lynn Election terminated on Saturday in favour of Colonel WALPOLE ; the state of the poll then being —Hon. JOHN WALPOLE, 156—Sir W. B. FOLKES, 92. Majority for Colonel WALPOLE, 64. The Mayor, in conse quence of the riot on Thursday, judged it expedient send off' for military aid; a troop of the 7th Dragoon Guards arrived from Norwich, and all the yeomanry of Suffolk were sent for. These mustered at Brandon on Friday evening, and proceeded towards Lynn. At Stoke and Setch they stopped, their as sistance being found quite unnecessary. An Exeter Paper mentions an improvement in the state of the Duke of BEDFORD. We hope this statement will prove correct; but we regret to observe, that it is rather at variance with the accounts received by his Grace's friends in town. --- According to a Return laid before Parliament, the total amount of Bank of England Notes in circulation on the 25th of last month, was 16,401,4501. ; of which 13,964,3501. was in Notes of, 51. and upwards; 1,481,0501. in Bank Post Bills; and 956,0501. in Notes under 51. The College of Physicians have sold their house in Warwick-lane for ten thousand pounds. Mr. FORTUNE is the purchaser. A new College is to be immediately erected in the new street passing through the King's Mews. SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.— Five negroes of Iredell county, North Carolina, belonging to a General David son, took the desperate resolution of destroying the whole family by poison, to prevent being removed with them to Ala bama. Two of the General's daughters only were destroy ed in the absence of their husbands. A dose (of hemlock) was ready for the General himself, but the plot was discovered before they were ready to complete their purpose.—( American Paper. ) SLEEP WALKER.—A few days ago, Wm. Fuller of Roydon, in Norfolk, having taken too much liquor at Diss, fell asleep in the streets, and dreaming that he was at home and going to bed, deliberately undressed himself to his shirt, and continued his walk till, coming to a gate which led to a stable, he turned in and finished his night's repose. On awaking in the morning he was exceedingly astonished to find himself undressed, and in a strange place. On inquiring for his clothes they were found in a garden at a short distance. PRISONER ESCAPED.—Our readers, on refer ence to our Journal of that period, will find that Angus Mac donald was sentenced at last Circuit to seven years trans portation for an assault. The Jury by whom he was tried petitioned his Majesty for an alleviation of his punishment, but no answer having arrived, he was on Thursday to have been sent off to the hulks. About one o'clock of the preceding day, however, he effected his escape from prison, through a sky light, having removed the grating, which was secured by a pad lock, and descended by a rope into a close at the back of the gaol. On reaching the ground he ran of with all speed, knocking down or pushing aside every person who happened to be in his way. He threw off his bonnet and shoes when running down Bridge street, apparently to increase his speed, and bounded along the bridge like a deer, no one offering any interruption, and he has not since been heard of.—( Inverness Journal.)

FASHIONABLE PARTIES. The Misses Kendrick had a numerous and elegant party last night at their house in Duchess-street, Portland-place.— Music, cards, and dancing kept the company till a very late hour. Miss H. Ashe, after her performance at the King's Theatre, highly gratified the company with her vocal exertions. The beautiful miniatures of Miss L. E. Kendrick, to which there are several admirable additions, afforded no slight share of the general pleasure. Mrs. Mitchell gave a ball and supper on Tuesday evening at her house in Charles -street, Berkeley-square. The three draw ing -rooms were thrown open, which were most brilliantly illu minated with wax lights and lamps, and decorated with pots of odoriferous flowers and shrubs. In the adjoining apartment refreshments were served ; consisting of pines, peaches, necta rines, grapes, ices, coffee, tea, &c. Dancing commenced about half-past eleven o'clock in the principal drawing-room. The supper was announced about two, which was prepared in the grand dining parlour, where covers were laid for about 100 ; it consisted of all the rarities and luxuries of the season, with wines of the choicest description ; dancing re-commenced about three, and continued till half-past five yesterday morning ; there were present about 250 distinguished fashionables. The Duke of Beaufort had a dinner party yesterday at his house in Grosvenor-square.

The Earl and Countess of Cassilis entertained on Tuesday Lord and Lady Howden, Sir David and Lady Baird, Sir Wil liam Pringle, Mr. Grant, and a large party, at their house in Privy-gardens. MONTHLY CALENDAR OF FASHION. [From the Last Number of The Lady's Magazine.] One almanack in a year is generally esteemed sufficient by the generality of mankind ; but Fashion, that capricious power, demands at least twelve ; and those who pay their adoration at her magic shrine have not to learn that her changes keep pace with those of the varying moon. There is no time like the present season of the year, wherein this whimsical deity dis plays so visible an extent of her power as now in this metro polis, which is thronged by the higher classes. Hyde Park, the different morning exhibitions, the summer theatres, and Vauxhall, present to the gratified eye of taste a fair assemblage of beauty attired in elegant variety, and in truly attractive cos tume ; u few particulars of which we hasten to lay before our readers. _ . White is rather more in favour than it was last summer : yet white dresses, unless worn under pelisses in the morning drive, are by no means general. These white dresses are made par tially high, with a Henrietta-Maria ruff of fine lace standing up above the collar of the summer pelisse or spencer, but not closing in front. Fine net elastic gossamer scarfs are generally thrown carelessly over the pelisse ; they are of the iris kind, and the varied colon's are divided crosswise : the pelisses are of the English improved sarcenet, either figured or plain, or of slight satin; dove-color, Denmark-blue, and cold a la crerne, are the most prevalent colors. Some are trimmed, sonic quite plain • the busts generally ornamented with filigree but tons a la nalitaire, and the cuffs finished with gauze ornaments and satin. Two very beautiful and becoming bonnets were seen on Sun day in Hyde Park, and universally admired. One was of white crape over white satin with a few light orna ments of straw, and on the left side a beautiful bou quet of full blown roses : the edge was trimmed with a broad blond, caught up in festoons, with small half-blown roses. The other bonnet was pink satin with a scalloped edge of brown in three different shades ; a quilling of fine blond was placed at the edge, and the crown, which was low, was sur mounted by a group of Persian roses and blossoms of the Por tugal laurel. The most prevailing bonnets for the promenade are of Leghorn, fine straw, and sarcenet; the two former are generally ornamented with a wreath of flowers round the crown ; but this ornament is getting common, and it is expected that flowers will soon give way to feathers ; those that are worn in bonnets are drooping, and have generally colored tips. The bonnets are small, and in the cottage shape. The owns are made very decorous about the bust ; and the broad Cleopatra back is no longer obtruded on the beholders in its late nudity ; the sleeves are short, and display a well-turned arm to great advantage ; and bracelets of two kinds are worn on the same arm, not at the wrist, but higher up. One of these bracelets is of elegant wrought polished steel. The flounces on white dresses are numerous ; we are sorry to see them yet worn so long : a well made foot and allele are totally obscured by this ugly fashion, which cannot certainly be called a neat one; for dust and dirt must be gathered up when the petiticoat touches the ground. A favourite dress for home is a violet-coloured sarcenet, trimmed at the edge with a quilling of white gauze rthand striped with jonquil : the most approved head-dress worn with this is a turban of white satin ornamented in front with light puffings of nonpareil gauze, and confined by a gold band next the hair. Tabmets of light lavender-colour, blue and violet, are much in request for ladies in the meridian and autumn of life. The Danish turban of crape and pearls, with a plumage of ostrich feathers floating over the crown, is a favourite head dress for the evening : young people have their hair arranged a la Diana, with crescents of pearls, or bouquets of blue corn flowers. Fine lace mobs, with a profusion of roses and other summer flowers, are much worn in half-dress ; for which style ruffs also are very general : they are made of fine lace, and laid in very large plaits. A beautiful way of dressing the hair prevails much in full dress; the hair is divided in front, and is formed into clusters of small curls on each side, which are interspersed with field-flowers. The hinder hair is twisted round the summit of the crown in two plaits, which are fasten ed' together by a long Glavina pin, headed by a large pear pearl. Bijouterie of all kind is much in request; various coloured gems set small; and forming aigrettes and butterflies in vibra tion, are in high favour; polished steel chain necklaces with crosses depending, and pearl ear-rings, are the chief ornaments among the most tasteful. The colours of dresses are blue of the Turquoise stone hue, rather darker than the celestial ; or dove-colour, or violet. Ribands are of jonquil, emerald-green, sea-green, and pink. The bonnets all fasten with broad lap pets instead of strings, except they are of straw ; and then they are generally tied with a rich corded riband, the colour of the straw. The dresses at Court, at the last drawing-room, consisted chiefly of gold and silver lama net petticoats over white satin, or net beautifully wrought with polished steel. The trains were some of coloured satin, and some of plain net over white satin; but they were all superbly ornamented with gold, co loured crape, flowers, or polished steel; and the dress of the ladies, at this very crowded drawing-room, had a most brilliant effect. The head-dresses were almost universally feathers and diamonds, with the exception of a very few costly pearls. AQUATIC EXCURSION.—Yestei day morning, at 11 o'clock precisely, about thirty carriages arrived at Whitehall stairs, belonging to the Whitehall Club, all filled with Ladies and Members of the Club, who embarked in their own pleasure boats, which were elegantly decorated, and well manned, in waiting for them. It took half an hour to get the Ladies all on board ; then their splendid flags were hoisted, and the firing of small arms announced their being in readiness to set sail. Westminster-bridge was crowded, and on the party setting sail, the surface of the water appeared entirely covered with pleasure boats. Fire-arms were discharged as they passed through each of the bridges, and an excellent band of music played some favourite airs till they arrived at the Castle, at Richmond, where a grand dinner was provided on the occasion. • a : ~ 1 1 1 4 4 , * . ..S',z-L-.. - - - - .<•),,, , 4ge . ril wr= 1/4t# THE ARMY.

On these occasons the seamen exhibited their pro verbial jovial dispositions and good-humoured thoughtlessness, by driving in hackney-coaches through the town, stopping at every public-house, and getting rid, in a few days, very fre quently in a few hours, of the reward of years of service. YARMOUTH, JULY I.—On Tuesday last eleven of the smugglers found on board the Susannah, captured a short time since and brought in here, were removed from our gaol on board the Ranger, Captain Sayers, which sailed the same day for Chatham, where the men are to be put on board a man of war ; eight others are detained in gaol, being found unfit for service. On their way to the beach, the officers and men were followed by an immense mob, who assailed them with stones and hooting, and it was with considerable difficulty that they got the smugglers through, the evident intention being to rescue them ; but by the steadiness and perseverance of the party who had them in charge, they were put safely on board. On the return of the boat's crew to the jetty, to take Captain Sayers off, they were again assailed by the mob, by which two of the crew were severely wounded. Five or six persons have since been apprehended for this outrage, and committed to prison. MERCANTILE SHIPYBG, &c.

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the ship Thames, Captain Haviside, was stationed for Bengal and China. On Tuesday the dispatches for Bengal by the ship Coldstream were closed at the East India House, and delivered to the Purser of that ship. On board the Ainerican ship Meteor, Captain Cobh, which sailed from New York on the 24th of May, and arrived at Liverpool Juue 24, they had radishes to eat every day during the passage. A box which made part of the hen-coop attached to the companion way, with holes in the bottom, was filled with earth. The radishes, fit to eat when got at New York, were taken up for use as they were wanted. The box was lash. ed to the stanchions on the quarterdeck, and a lid, to be put down in case of rough weather. OLD - BAILEY SESSIONS.—This morning, Wil liam Banbury, a respectable youth, aged 17, was indicted for stealing a Barometer and Clock, the property of Messrs. Luke Hansard and Co., Printers to the House of Commons. Mr. BRO.. DERICK stated the case for the prosecution. Mr. Luke Hansard, and several of his patrons and servants, were examined as to the security of the premises, which are situated in Great Turn stile, Holborn, on the Ist of June, the even ing before the robbery, and they all declared them to be perfectly safe, and no person could have ingress but by forcing the door or window. A person of the name of Ryder saw the windows of the premises open about five in the morning, and a person lurking about ; he was induced to go down and look in, when he saw a lad inside, who, he supposed, was in the em ploy of the prosecutor, yet thinking all was not right, he alarmed the family. Shortly after this the prisoner was observed by three persons walking in a hurried manner to wards Soho, and their suspicions being excited, they took hitn into custody, with the barometer in his possession, near to which spot the clock was found.—The property was identified by Mr. Hansard.--Mr. Justice HOLROYD summed up and observed, that owing to an informality in the indictment, the capital part of the charge must be done away, and the only ques tion was, whether the prisoner was or was not the thief ?—The Jury retired for about twenty minutes, and returned a verdict—Guilty of steal ing the Barometer, value only 39 shillings. Jay, the King's Postilion, was yesterday ac quitted at the Old Bailey. The appearance of the youth is very prepossessing, and we understand his parentage and connec. tions are respectable. A trial which occupied the greatest part of the forenoon has prevented us from giving an account of that of Jay. We understand, however, that circumstances transpired, tending to shew the necessity of looking sharply after some of the persons employed in the po:ice of the me. tropolis.—(Mcrning Ch: onick. )
