RACE. IVIIO.YTON ABBEY. THE hospitalities of this place, in honour of the PRINCE of WALES and his Royal Brother, have been worthy the spirit and taste of the Noble Owner. The Earl of GUILDFORD had a sele& party to meet his Royal Guests—and each day' bas been marked by the most pleasurable variety. On Fri day night last the Noble Earl fitted up a temporary Theatre in the great drawing-room, for a theatrical exhibition, and that every thing might be in form, he sent forth the following Play-bill : By Command of His Royal Highness the PR i :ICE of WA LEs.' TILEATIR E-1(0`1* AL, WROXTON ABBEY. • On Friday Evening, 29th Aiipst, iBc6, will be presented EXTRACTS ' • From the Historical Tragedy of KING RICHARD THE THIRD. • King Henry, Mr. Hl.A.lncoLia. ptikeot GiotteeSler, - Mr. BA R R.Y Sr.-LEGEIL N Duke of Norf o lk, - Mr. ORE 11.

The Representation consisted, as the Play-bill an nounces, of Extra&s only ;- and the whole was under the diredion of Mr. KEMBLE. The powers of declamation displayed by Maker BARRY ST. LE GER; aged seven years, and Miss Sr. LEDER, • aged ten, were most wonderful, and drew- from trieir ;Royal Highnesses the most rapturous plaudits.--- The Address was written by the Ear/ of GUILD FORD; and the whole went off with great eclat. The Noble Earl had invited all the people of dis- - tinCtion in the neighbourhood. The freedOrn of the' torough of _Banbury was presented to their Royal Highnesses by the Mayor, in a suitable address, and most graciously received. The PRINCE and the DUKE of CLARENCE quit Wroxton Abbey thiS day, and proceed to Ragley; where great preparations have been made, and where they will remain the 'whole week. As it now seems certain that the PRINCE of WALES, in his Northern tour, intends visitieg Don caster during the ensuing races, it is said, that from the vicinity of Pontefradto that place, and from the races happening only the week before the Doncaster Meeting, his Royal Highness will also honour Pon tell - ad Races with his presence; and that he intends taking the delightful residence lately - occupied by- Colonel R AMSDEN , f or a sheeting box. . • Their Royal Highnesses the PRINCE of WALES and the DOLE of CLARENCE intend , visiting the Lail zrld Ceuntess of Dee Br, at Knowsley,. Lancashire ;, the Earl of CARLISLE, at Castle Hotvard, York shire; the Earl of DARL INGTON , at R a b y Castle, Durham ; a n d the Earl of ;Monet, at Rawden Yorkshire. .71 oir_Al ,M Ly. • Awn, AUG. 23.—Last. week as a number of ma- Sons were at work upon a bridge that was building near Sundrum,,owing to the insufficiency of the props that supported the mould of the arch, they gave way. Seventeen men were on the building, Who had only a very momentary alartn; by the crack 'of one of the props ; thirteen of them got off,• but the other four went down with the building, and though all of these were hurt, none of them were dangerously injured. Within a short time the sad effeas of sudden pas sion have been exemplified in a shocking manner. In a 'scuffle between two men, the one struck the other in'the side, with an instrument used by slaters to form their slates, and drove the pike, - Which is On one side of it, used . for striking a hole into the slate, into the man's. side ;he h a s- s i nce absconded. While Some men were employed on Sunday in some neces sary works about-a coal-isit, in the Newtown, one of them struck another with his shovel, so as to frac ture his skull. Theman was immediately committed to prison. Both are out of danger, though severely hurt. Patrick Smith, ,a travelling chapman, apparently ako l ut 70 years.of age, .from the parish of ithynie, iu,sbe county .of Aberdeen, was found dead on the road between Fail and 'Farb()lton, on the evening of the 24th ult. A letter was yesterday stated to have been brought to town frorri- Gibraltar, by an American Captain, addressed to a respealable Mercantile House, com municating the important information that a Divi, sion of, the . Artny of MASSENA, in Calabria, had been 'defeated :by the British Troops; aided by, the Calabria') Loyalists, who fought with great gallantry. We think this not improbable, and. hope the confir mation will soon arrive. • There was tio Court of Aldermen held- to-day ; but the LORD MAYOR, after inspeeling the Ret urns of the Meal-wei g h ers , ordered the price of Bread to be lowered id, per peck, •to take place on Thursday.

Mr. CooKE was so overcome with the Leanly of " Lady Anne, on Thursday evening, as he played the part of flicitrad, at the Liverpool Theatre, that in re-' covering'himself from his kneeling posture he made a false step, and lost his equilibrium. We are sorry to add, that Richard,was not himself again ; and Mr. ARcuEr, was obliged to finish the charaeler. Mr. and. Mrs. .1-1. .fOHNSTON are performing at Cork.

From the 12th of August to the 28th, although he had -been. seep walkino - in various direaions, he had applied f o r no food or t' beverage a t any of the contiguous hamleis : in deed he had entered none of them ; fbr the sight of the human form, Whenever in his ramblings he en:- Countered it, seemed to excite aversion and alarm, and he fled as from a teriific Polyphemus. Before the Country•people began the search, they judged it prudent to;communicate the particulars Of the of ' fair to some CoStom-house and. Police Of tiers, on the_ firSt whisper, concluding the iLcognito to be and urged by the reward for his - apprehen sion, hastened to the spot ;- they were joined by ~spme of the inhabitants in the vicinity of Langdon, Martin's, and Ringwold, who occupy" the distriLas 'surmounting the broad shoulders of South Fore land., After a vigilant search in several dire lions, at the. base of the rack a -heap of weeds was no ticed, with something ,reclined upon it, resembling 'the human form ; but whether it ,was alive ; or whe ther it Was some unhappy delim who had taken 'the Leucadian leap, 'gas yet uneertain. The fears of the pursuers were increased as they approached the obje&, which remained motionless; it was at last distinctly ascertained to . be a man, while the avarice of some, and the cbmmisseration of others, accelerated their progress down the precipice. They, then slowly approached ; and, observing him tr: move feebly on his vegetable couch, they accosted him. Whether he were the City fugitive,_or other wise, was yet undetermined ; for the appearance of our common nature was so changed, that to , trace any resemblance to a particular individual of . the species was impossible. He replied to their in quiries indistinctly ; extreme weakness had almost deprived him of the power of utterance : they could collect, however, that existence had become a but then to him, an d h e had resolvedLi resign it. Thus, "" bare and full of wretchedlyess,"—‘ famine in his • cheeks,-need and oppression staring in his eyes," he was gently conveyed Wore the M a y o r o f D ove r : The Magistrate having learnt that the man was a soldier, in the \Vest Surrey Militia, gave informa tion to Capt. WIL,LIAM' THOMPSON, to Whose- coin pany he belonged, and under .the direalion of that Officer he was conveyed from the jail to the Military Hospital, where every proper attention was paid to him in his . condition of 'extreme debility. •In the mead_ time a regimental Court Martial was held, at which Captain W. T. presided, to enquire into -the condtia of this person, who was a private in the Regiment, of the name of Charles Butcher. Blay, a Serjeant in the Corps, depoSed that die Prisoner was reported - absent at the tattoo-roll, oh the f2th of August, and that he had not since ap peared. Sambroke, another Serjeant ; give evi dence on behalf of the accused: When the pin happy man was called upon for his defence, (" meagre were his looks ; sharp 'Misery had worn • him to the bone,") his story was simple and con cise. He said, on the evening of the 12th of Ati 7 gust he had become 'intoxicated, and was in that state in the town when he. ought to have been in garrison ; that he had served in Ireland ; where he had received a wound' on the head, in consequence. of which any excess frequently occasioned insanity. He supposed that under a temporary deliriu •, augmented by the fear of punishment, ha had con cealed himself among the rocks, where he was discovered. Soon afterwards, he was perfeffly aware of his situation,' but had not sufficient reso lution to 'return. For sixteen dys and nights he remained nearly on the same spot, and had par taken of no food whatever but wild cabbage, and other vegetable - roots and simples Produced do the contiguous. soil: He concluded with declaring, that, when hz. was discovered by those who appre hended him, he . had determined to use no other effort to support life ; and to make the weeds on which he had thrown himself his dying bed. • The impreSsion,upon his Milita r y J u d ges of su ch a plain ". unvarnished tale," delivered- by due whose worn and emaciated form was the best confirmation of its troth, can be but faintly described : the power ful emotions of manly and generous minds in such. situations transcend the Poet's talent : the public, however; will learn with satisfaction, that- Charles, Butcher has been condemned to no corporal 'suf fering ; that hip absence was attributed to a roxystn of phrenzy ; that his strength is hourly in creasing; that he will be soon restored ,to his Offi cer and his Comrades; that he remains thankfirt ' . for the humanity which has been' shewn to him, and anxious to display his gratitude in the service of his country. On Thursday a'Coroner's inquest was held at the Red Lion Inn, Maidenhead, on the body of fohn Alsop, found dead in his bed the - preceding morn ing. It appeared that the deceased, whO was butler to a Gentleman at Maidenhead, 'after a courtship, of nineteen years to a female, named Cook, went Up to London to be married on Monday sennight. On Tuesday they returned to Maidenhead,. where his, wife has a house : during their journey the deceased was frequently heard to express a wish that he might die suddenly ; and, en their arrival at hotne,,, the deceased had a dispute with a lodger of his Wife respeaing the room he should ddcupy after'whichr he tan out in a passion, swearing he would never enter the house again he then Went to the Red Lion Inn, and, atter taking some spirits, retired to bed. The next morning his wife Went to call him to breakfast, and he was found dead, with his hand' under his head. H e h a d s h ewn no syinptorts of illness previously, and did not appear intoxicated. Died by Me Pisitation of God. We hear, that on the 3d instant, the stone Chi roll at Port Tobacco was blown d - own, by the most violent wind ever experienced at that place. Hun-, dreds of large trees were also levelled to the ground, and several houses totally destroyed.
