Rosa lind is indeed a difficult character,. awl the repre ' sentative, who acquits herself even tolerably, most display no ordinary share of taste, knowledge, and a critical . perception of the author. Miss BRVNToN, if not so deeply imbued with the text as may be required, supported the part with ani mation, ease, feeling, and delicacy, and certainly added to her credit on this occasion. • She was very interesting ill the pathetic touches of the part, unit, though her vhcal - powers. are by no means of the higher order, she gave in a pleasing manner the Cuckoo Song, and was playful, arch, and impressive in the Epilogue, We shall atteno her again with pleasure in the performance of this part, and doubt not to hod a wore digested but not less effective representation. YoutiO gave a sen tentious dignity and moral cast to Jaques, which rendered it prominent on the dramatic canvass. It is impossible to imagine a more easy, animated, and interesting performance than Cu ARLES KBM BLE'S Orlando. In fact it was as finished a per formance as we ever witnessed.

ROBBERY AND ATTEMPT AT MURDER.--On Tuesday evening last, as Mr. GARDNER , a respect able farmer in the neighbourhood of St. Alban's, was ridiog from -Redlntru to Market-street, he was stopped by a single foot-pad, who demanded his money. Mr. G. refused ro give hint any thing, but knocked the robber down with the handle of his whip. The villain, while clown, pulled out a pistol and shot at Mr. Gardner, but failing in his horrid intent, he drew out another, fired, ,find ,vounded Mr. G. in the face. He then pulled the %varch out of his fob, and made his escape, leav ingltis unfortunate victim in a state of insensibility.

He commenced his lith day's-task at 20 minutes past five o'clock yesterday morning, and at half-past tour in the evening, he had accomplished 42 miles. PUGILISM. A manly stand up fight took place on Thursday on Hitehen Common, near IVelwyn, between George Cart, a higler, and Stephen Owen, a ma son, for ten guineas a side, and a purse of five. The heroes of the day's sport were the champions of their counties, Beifforashire and Leicestershire, om whence Cart came. Cart was seconded by the Bath Tiuman, and Owen by R Jay. Nine rounds were fought in 32 minutes,,• as follows: Round I Cart received a hard body 1414 settiog to, which . sent hits• on his knees. He got up, and commenced a rally, and both exchanged bit for hit for the space of six minutes, - and much slaughter took place, although the blOws were slow am, round. At the end of the rally the men stood otf again, piping like a roaring horse until they became fit for action again. In the second rally Owen did much mischief with a half round left hand hit, and be got a knack of breaking away after ►delivering. The _round last►d altogether 14 minutes, when Cart dropped. his adversary by a body blow. 2. The men were so disfigured that they could only he dis tinguished by their heads black and ginger. Owen went clown after a slight rally, and betrayed weakness. 3 and 4. The men were too exhausted to make any fight, and in these rounds both were down. S. Another severe smashing round took place, and the combatants exchanged :bits until they broke off again for wind, as in the first round, and then renewed the rally and both went down.—lt was equal fighting, equal weight, and any body's battle. 6. A smart round, hut Owen Was knocked down by a blow noon the left ear, whizh set the eluet flying from that organ like water from a fire engine. 7. In this-round Owen slit his adversary's already contused nose, hut in a ►ally he was knocked down. 8. The ogles were queer with both, and they were alike cau tious at beginning. Cart received a severe hit in the wind, hut he recovered and smashed his adversary's left jaw. Owen had the best of the round after this hit, and floored his man. 9. A very game round, but the men appeared as helpless as infants. They rolled against, and mauled each other, and Owen was beat by a fall. . . . There WAS more fighting in these nine rounds than is often seen in a whole clay's sport at this amusement. The men were alike without science, and awkward ; but the fight is taken out of both for some time. J. and J.

The pe Sig/ who witness ed this sintden change in. matters .ve as woolly ignorant of Itoberts's plans, and of what waS meant !by flip word", , " good job,"- applied to-the hope of hlood,thuney. 'Die day aftte the com mittal, Read was ,leard to say that Roberis.•eni, ployed him. in gardening, and maintained liiin .; and immediately after are Assizes at vs hich Alija execrable schente succeeded; he declared in a fit of drunkenness (a. vice to which .he was excessively addicted), thot he was th e boy that milli! do ft that he, fi rst /lung Hall,. although Han alterwarda threw hint. It was ohaervi.d to Read, previously .to the apprehension of :the plisoners, that if he lisst all his money in the manner described, it was wonderful ho'N. lie could, pay for drink, which he :had iu considerable quantities ; " Oh," said lie, Roberts 'supplies me with money:" Rend's rage for quairt:lling was as great as his propensity «, drink, and one,inevitably produced the other. On the night before the wiestling-bOin occurred, a man named Woolley took umbrage at the conduct: of Read, who sat drinking wills a pensioner - in a public-house. The pensioner was so intolerably noisy and abusive, that a soldier found it neces sary to desire lain to leave - the .room, upon which Read stint e d up and struck the soldier.- Woolley, exasperated at this unprovoked as= sault, beat Read about the eyes, and also gave him a blow on the nose, which caused a plen tiful effusion of blood. It will be remember ed, that the disfigured face and the blood were exhibited in evidence against Hall and ;Mor rison. Atter the conviction, Read sometimes : boasted of the money he had got, which lie said amounted to 601.; and at other times he uttered in a desponding tone %voids expressive of the pain 1 with Which he contemplated what he had done against his fellow-creatures. He has been heald to curse and swear, and threaten upon being ques tioned as to the motives by which he 'had been impelled" and soon after, when the frenzy of drink subsided, he has been described ,HS sorrow ful in the extreme, tittering, " Don't speak a word about it ; I can't bear to think of it.: I did not think they could have come to any h.rin.'' The very person in whose hands this wretch had placed for. security a considerable part of tnnney he had shared with Robert's, observed those symptoms of contrition, and declared that Read would sell the shirt off his back for liquor. In this deplorable account of Read's weakness and vice his own sister agreed. This was the substance of the affidavits present• elf to Lord Sidmouth and Baron Gct rl OW. On Friday last a meeting was held in the town of Wolverhampton, at which several resolutioas were passed, amongst which is one expressive Of their earnest desire of the liberation of Hall and Morrison, a circumstance daily expected in con• sequence of the depositions offered to ;Mr. Baron. Garrow and the Secretary of State. An immediate application -is to be made iii the name of the meeting to the Secretary of State, soliciting a determination as to the case. The inquiry into Robert's conduct is left to the county Magistrates, who are now employed in the investigation. _ _ Since writing the above, we have been highly gratified by learning that the unfortunate men have obtained a free pardon, and arrived on Wed nesday night at the office of Mr. Thompson, th e attorney employed on their behalf, at Wolver• hampton.---(Ti►nes.) MELANCHOLY CIRCUMSTANCE.--We are con cerned to state, that NVilliam Durward, an in dustrious tradesman, was diowned bathing. at Montrose on. Tuesday morning. The cireum stances attending his death are very melancholy, as he has left a wife and five children ; two of the eldest were with hirn when the accident happened, and beard the' cries of their father, which en abled them to give the alarm to sonic bathers not far from the spot. Two young men came up, and with some difficulty succeeded in ()tinging the body, which was floating apparently in a life less state,. to the beach. A medical practitioner, who Was bathing at the time, procured, as soon as possible, the apparatus of the Humane Society, and immediately had recourse to the weans recom mended for restoring suspended animation, but . without avail; the vital spark was too f ar gone for re-animation. The body was then con% eyed without delay ro the hospital, Where an attempt was made, before a warm fire, to restore anima tion, and persevered• in for a considerable time without etfect. A subscription has been opened. for the beneti: of his unfortunate family. CottONEß's INQUEST.—An Ingoisiti:m was taker/ last night before THOMAS STIRLING, Esq. Coro ner, at the Qaeen's Head, Lower -street, Isling ton, on the body of a man of colour, whose name is unknown, who was found dead in a field oni Tuesday morning, having died, as. was stated, frotn the Want of food. The Coroner addressed the Jury ; he said that he was of opinion the deceased died of disease, for if he had had food given him, probably he could not have eat it ; he had not applied to the parish for relief, and there could be no blame attached to any one but himself. The Coroner thought the most proper verdict would be, 41 Died by the Visitation of God." if any one was of a different opinion be would express It. The Jury assented to the Coroner's opinion, and that verdict was recorded.
