CHELTENHAM.—The wet season has been much against the Watering Places in general, but by the Cheltenham Paper we see that they are there amply furnished with indoor -amusements, which must be found an agreeable resource under such circumstances. LISTON draws full houses at the Theatre, and Asmc, the Bath Musical Manager, has brought forward some excellent Concerts which have been brilliantly attended. The Des moiselles Dz Lint, ars:l Mrs. MHZ are the prin cipal Vocals, and ASHE and his two Daughters, on the Harp and Piano-forte, the Solo Instru mentals. These Concerts terminate on the 30th, and are so excellent in their kind, that the spi rited Conductor is likely to be amply rewarded for th e pleasure which he has afforded amidst the damping visitation of ST.

Fortune smiled, and Nature's charnis were new, I loved to see the oak majestic tower, loved to see the apple's painted flower, Bedropt with penciled tints of rosy hue; Now more I love thee, melancholy Yew, Whose still green leaves in solemn silence wave Above the peasant's rude unhonour'd grave, Which oft thou moisten'st with the morning dew. To thee the sad—to thee the weary fly; They rest in peace beneath thy sacred gloom, Thou sole companion of the lonely tomb ; No leaves but thine in pity o'er them sigh : Lo! now to Fancy's gaze thou seem'st to spread Thy shadowy boughs to shrowd me with the dead. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. , Besides the alterations and improvements which we have before mentioned as in preparation at this place, other arrangements have been deemed necessary, of which the following is an outline : A new scene room is formed on the space of ground which lies between the back of the Thea tre and the old scene room. The expence will not exceed 150/. as'the interval of space. is rnerely . to be floored and covered in, and there are large door ways communicating with it at each side of the stage. This room is to contain only the scenery necessary for the business of the night ; it will save much of the time of the attendants, and also preserve the scenes from being so much injured as they frequently were, when they were all conveyed through one distant door, and hasti ly thrown with the scenes accumulated in - the larger repository. The stage is to he lighted with gas; it will be thus placed in full relief, and it is supposed will produce a more agreeable effect upon the eye, then if,a large lustre were suspend ed in the nil the Theatre. The whole of the Corps de Ballet is struck off from the list of the expenditures, as it is considered that the time ‘..hich they occupied greatly prolonged, without much improving, the entertainments of the even ing. Both the Theatres have arranged to begin the performances at seven o'clock in future. Mr. RAYMOND is constantly occupied in superintend ing the various operations going on at Drury ' lane, and in devising modes of diminishing the expences of the Theatre, and at the same time of increasing the pleasures of the Public.—There are, it seems, to be many importations from Pro cial Theatres of both sexes. But what must be gratifying to the more intelligent part of the Pub lic, and indeed to the lovers of good Comedy in general, many sterling works are to be revived, which delighted our ancestors, and which may tend, under due revision and curtailment, to re form public taste—the only reform that rational men desire.

ConoNsa's INQOBST.—AnTnquisition was taken yesterday afternoon, at the Two Brewer's, Vine street, Hatton-garden, before TROMAS STIRLING, Esq. on the body of Elizabeth Rathbone, aged 14 months, whose death was caused in the following manner : Mrs. Elizabeth Hyatt sworn, said, on Friday night last, ahont eight o'clock, she was standing opposite the house of Mr. Itathbone, the father of the deceased, No. 21, Vine street, and saw two of Mr. Rathbone's children run out of the door screaming. She asked what was the matter; they gave her no reply, and she entered the house, and saw Mr. and Mrs. Rathbone in extreme agitation. Mrs. Rath hone said, " Oh, my child is dead !" She looked at the deceased, her face was wet, and she appeared quite lifeless. The mother informed her that she and her husband Were sitting by the fire, and the deceased, who could not walk, crept from her lap to a pan which contained about two quarts of water, which stood on the floor on the opposite side of the room. She (Mrs. It.) got up to reach something from a cup board, and saw the deceased lying on her belly with her face in the pan of water; she immediately lifted her up, and found she was apparently dead. She (witness) ran utf for medical aid. She knew nothing of the death of the deceased, except by the information she received from its mother. Mr. Sheppard, snrgecn, Aylesbury-street, Clerkenwell, sworn.—On Friday last, about eight o'clock its the even ing, he was sent for to the deceased ; be found that anima tion was suspended; he was inf o rmd by its mother of the cause of the accident. He found upon examination that there was a severe contusion on its temple on the right side of the head. He got warm water and bathed the deceased, and used other means to endeavour to restore it, but was not successful. He believed that if animation had only been sus pended by being suffocated, he might hare recovered her, but he conceived the blow on the forehead was more the cause of her death than the effect of the water. The Coroner said, that the death of the child was produced by singular means, yet in his opi nionpurely accidental. Verdict—ikcidentalDeatit, ANECDoTg. [From The Star in the fre,t—a Uaited States N,wspaper.] The writer of this was present at a dinner given ' by 6eneralKNox, to a number of Indians, in the yeae 1789, at New York ; they had come to the President on a mission .from their nations.—The house was in Broadway. A little before dinner, two or three of the Sachems, with their Chief or principal man,.went into the balcony at the front of tile houSe,. the drawing room being up stairs. From this they had a view of the city, the harbour and Long Island ; after remaining there a short time, they returned into a room, apparently de jected ; bat the chief more than the rest. Gene ral Knox took notice of it, and said to him, Bro ther! what has happened to you ? You look sorrel ; is there any thin : : to distress you ? Ile anwered —" tell you, brother . I have been looking at your beautiful city—the great water—your fine country—and see how you all are. But then, I could not help thinking, that this fine country and this great water were once onrs. Our ancestors lived here, they enjoyed it as their own place, it was the gitt of the great spirit to them.and their children. At l as t th e w hi te people cameo here in a great canoe. They asked only to let them tie ' it to a tree, lest the waters should carry it away; we consented. They then said some of their peo ple Were sick, and asked permission to land theta • and put them under the shade of the trees. The ice then came, and they could not go away. They then begged for a piece of land to build wigwams for :the winter, we granted it to tltem. They then asked for some corn to keep theta from starving, we kindly furnished it them, they promising to go , away when the ice was gone. When this hap pened we told them they must go away with their big canoe ; but they pointed to their big guns round their wigwams, and said they would stay there, and we could not make ;hem, go away. Af terwards more came. They brought bpirituoui and intoxicating liquors with them of which the Indians became very fond. They persuaded us to sell them some land. Finally they drove its back,. from time to time, into the wildernea, far from the water and fish and oysters—they have de stroyed the game—our people have wasted away, and now we live miserable and wretched, while you are enjoying our fine and beautiful country. This makes Inc sorry, brother ! and I cannot help it.' BOUDINOT. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, AUGUST 25 THE OPERA-LIOIT , ;E AGAIN!!!! WATERS V. TAYLOR. ; Mr. HART.---" 1 feel extremely sorry to be ob liged once more to trouble your Lordship with this case, but 1 am under the necessity of doing so on account of the situation the plaintiff is placed in, which certainly is one of much difficulty; I mu on that account emboldened to ask your Lord ship to make an alteration in the order for the plaintiff to pay in the sum of 34,000/. instead of 28,0001. which was first ordered. This was granted on an interlocuto•y motion, made by my Learned Friend (Sir Samuel Romilly)„ that the mortgage money should be paid out of Court. When this application was made, had some doubts as to the statement of Me e . Mills; but I have since paid attention to it, and understand it perfectly—and on the face of it, it was clear if the plaintiff was obliged to pay the greater sum into Court, he would be pay ing the debts of the defendant. My client has the 28,0001. ready to be paid into the Accomprant- General's Office, if your Lordship will make an order to that effect, without prejudice to any ap plication which the defendant may think proper to make relative to the mortgage money. It is with reluctance I make this application in the ab sence of Sir Samuel Hominy ; but be has left town, and there is no prospect of his being in Court before your Lordship rises for the vacation. The defendant will have an opportunity of apply ing on the first Seal." The Loaf) CHANCELLOR observed, lie would not sacrifice the defendant's interest. He had been informed that this case was to come on in another shape to•'morrow. For the fact was, that the case had come before him in so many different shapes that he did not know what to do with it. The spirit of litigation between the parties was so manifest, that it made it painful to him ; they however must abide by the consequences of their bad spirit. He thought, however, that the plaintilf should pay in the 28,0001., with this understand ing, that should give notice to the defendant that he (his Lordship) would take into his consider ation his mot tgage money to-morrow. He could not be asked on any rational ground that the claim of the defendant should not be decided before the next Seal. He would be forgetting his duty, and where be sat, if he was to allow the interest of ante party to be sacrificed for that of the other. • He felt pleased that Mr. Hart understood the state ment of Mr. Mills, for he confessed lie (lid not up to the present hour, and he doubted whether he should ever understand it. He did not approve of being harassed every day with this case. The other suitors had reason to complain that their causes _were delayed when the Lord Chancellor's time was taken up with disposing of a house for the purpose of singing and (lancing. He then or dered the 28,0001. to be paid into Court by the plaintiff, and that he would dispose of the mort gage to-morrow. _ Mr. BARBER said, perhaps his Lordship would allow the money to be laid out in the hinds. The LORD CHANCELLOR.--" You are too late in your application. Let the next case be called on, and the performances of the Opera-house close for to-day. We have had enough of dancing, let us now have some harmony." A fellow, named Ashton, was apprehended un der the very scaffold at the moment Caffin (who was executed yesterday at the Old Bailey) fell, for picking a gentleman's pocket of a handkerchief, He was conducted to the Mansion-house, from whence he was immediately committed to New gate by the Lord Mayor. The complainant, Mr. Holland, expressed great unwillingness to prose cute, but the Lord Mayor insisted upon it, de claring at the same time, that it was one of those rare proofs of crime which leave no hope of re formation, Ashton is but iv years of aze.. CU 11111 LAND ASSIZES, Auc. 19. ! . , ylCit - xs imqs.----1-i , ,ini.bY V. HAERIMAN. Tnis cafise occitpied the Court from its °nen. I mg at nine o'clock , in Tuesday morning, to about. 20 loinutes after three in the afternoon. Mr. Se:amt.:re said the plaintiff is Mil taut HA, tiry, Esq. of Rose-hill, near Whitcharen; in this county, and the ikleititaut a gentleman who has travelled ranch in foreign parts, parti cularly on the continent of Etiroae; but having fixed his reai dence in Cumberland, lie purchased a house and a small eplaittity of hotel in the immediate neighbourhuod of Mr. Hartley. Cowing from a foreign land (Florence in Italy he had given this reside-ace the classical name of Tivoli—a name much celebrated in ancient times, and of conese earryi lig with it the most pleasing recollect hats, as well• as an idea of refinement. ft did not appear, 'iowever, that the de fendant had imported the urbanity of the- countries he had visited—those retineinents which we expect from one who has cultivated and has a taste fur the fate arts ; this would most clearly appear in the course of what he had to advance. In the Month of Nov. last, Mr. Hartley, wishing to ornament the gametal near his house, and to improve the breed of Ilia sheep, made a purchase of eleven fine Leicastershire sheep, coanntinly - called - niug sheep, which were sent to hint all the way from Tack:titer, and for which be gave s)guineas ; when thay arrived, he turned them into a held which lies between his own garct:.n and that of (tic deferidant. Mr. Harriman, it appears, keeps three dogs at Tivoli (two poiliters and a little leerier) for the purpose of defending his possessions. One of these pointers mas of so savage a nature, that he spared neither clan nor - beast. Mr. Hartle.y and his servants had all herb attached by these outrageous dogs; they were nut safe to come home at night, for it was at that time these ani mals were permitted to prowl wherever they-pleased.— When the sheep arrived,' Mr. Haetly sent a niessage to Mr. Harriman, stating, that as he hail goi - sonie valuable sheep, he hoped the defendant would ta:ie care of his dogs, as there was great reason to think they would worry the sheep. Mr. flarrriman sent back ward to Mr. Hartley, that he kept his dogs for the purpose of guarding his pro perty, and if they were nut etioneli he wottld keep fifty more. As was suspected, the dogs did fall upon.' he sheep several times, and at last they killed tliree . and bit four others. so severely as to cause their deaths, spoiling the whole of the flock. As soon as Mr. Hartley was infOrmed of this, he wrote a letter to Mr. Harriman couched in the mildest terms: it began, '' Accidents. will happen. • I am sorry that your dogs have injured toy unfoilaniate little flock; I should have seen you this initiating on the - subject, but understood you were not up." and it concluded in the saute strain and spirit by a proposition to Mr. Harriatan to take the flock off his hands, paying the first cost of 50 guineas. What could lie fairer, ur more gentlemanly, or more . neighhourly than this ? Mr. Hartley wanted n o thin g f or bringing the sheep into Cum , berland—he required nothing for theit keep—he only wished to cover the expense of the first purchase, and so let Use , matter drop. But does Mr. Harriman follow the example of his neighbour ? No. He waits sonic time, and then he re plies by letter in a strain the very reverse of conciliatory,. He says, having had time to investigate the charge at his (legs Lilting the sheep, he believes the sante to he unfounded. He cannot but regret, therefore, that Mr. Hartley should hare made such a charge; and in a strain of indignation he refuses to pay the 50 guineas, and rejects any farther discussion of the subject. Now, contended the Learned Counsel, no matt of proper feeling would have acted thus towards a neighbour who had always lived on the best terms with him, and who had been' injured. Mr. - Hartley was reluctantly driven into Court to seek that redtess which he failed to get in a mote amicable way; and Mr. Scarlett trusted the result of the ap. peal would convince the defendant that the law will not au thorise hits to ketp dogs to assail either people or property. After evidence was heard on both sides, the Judge, Sir. Baron Wool), summed up. lie said there were three eines tiffili for the consideration of the Jury—First, whether the sheep had been attacked, or worried, as it was called, by the dogs ? Secondly, if they had' been so worried, was it by Mr. Ilarriasan's dogs? And, thirdly, whether Mr. Harriman had received sufficient previous notice to take care of his dogs ? These were the simple qneations for decision. In his opinion it was not necessary for the dogs to have actually Gillett the persons they attacked to prove their savage nature. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 241. 10s. Both plaintiff and defendant were in Court during the .trial. . The EXECUTION of CAFFIN, the BLACK. There were some uncorntrion circumstances at tending the fate of the wretched man who was executed yesterday.. He had been found guilty of a rape upon wchild aged 10 years and 6 months, H and was. ordered for execution "on Wednesday last, but svm respited in - consequence of a representa tion made by the surgeons who attended the girl, and the prisoner, alleging. that the crime had• not been committed ; that it was impossible that it could have been committed. It was a source of much wonder amongst those who resided in the neighbourhood where the crime was sworn to have been committed, and those upon whom the con. slant declaration of the Black as to his innocence ,had made an impression, that the medical men had not previously sent in their depositions to the Se cretary of State. The surpris• was not diminished when they heard one of the surgeons account for his tardiness, by. saying he did not know that any application to the Secretary of State would have been availing after the delivery of the verdict. Lord SinmnuTn, upon receiving such extraordinary Intel. ligence as the denial of the only two persons who were supposed capable of deciding. upon so import ant a point, that the crime had been committed, said the most attentive consideration should heg,:iven to what was laid before him, and respited the prisoner till Monday. • Jo the mean thne, a black man waited upon the Rev. Air. Cotton, and asked bin), whether there was not a man of co lour condemned to die. Having heard the fact from the authority for which the stranger had shown the utmost re spect, he begged to be allowed to visit the malefactor. The Ordinary.--" Certainly you shall see him. I suppose you are his relation ?" The Black.—" No, Sir, I am an African ; he is, I hear, an American. I never saw him . ; our conditions were never alike. I was a slave ; he.was never a slave, except to his pas-. sions, which have treated him worse even .than my toasters ever treated me. Ile then pulled aside the Bair that bung about his face, and showed several scars,-every one of which, he said, had a dif , ferent master. The Ordinary.—" Whtit is your object in visiting this wan. if you do not know him ?", Th e Bl ac k.—“ God has been good to me; I know the cos pel scheou: of salvation, and conic to speak a word.of co.iso lation to the afflicted." The Ordinary took him in: they found Callia at prayer on his tare and hands. The stranger shed tears upon seeing this testimony of a penitent heart, and pointed to the station of that Power which shed it s pur e religion over him, and played upon the proselyte with a beans that never sets, and a. hope that never forsakes him. Coffin rose at the call of the Ordinary, who though unwilling to interrupt the praYer, was anxious that an interview should take place, which would crease the interest of the scene, by an exhibition of gratithdc, repentance, resignation, and charity. The African and the American knelt together, and continued in prayer. The con vict had made all the necessary preparations for leaving this world. Fie bad acknowledged the guilt of his intention, and felt that exquisite elfcct of his penitence, which proves the sufficiency of atuue - iiient. He wished to die. The Africati remained as long at the laws of the prison allowed, and visit ed his brother as he called him, anti' the moment of their eternal separation. They were together in prayer the whole of the night preceding the execution, and walked hand in hand to the place where the irons arc struck off, full of that religion which leaves no terror upon the heart. Catlin fell in the midst of prayer. The Ordinary, upon quitting the melancholy scene, declared that he never saw stronger symptoms of the energy of religion than in the mind of this poor uneducated almost friendless man. The Aheriffs had delayed the execution upwards of a quarter of an hour beyond the.appointed time, in the expectation of an order for a farther respite, and all those who knew the cir cumstances, and observed the conduct of the unfortunate fo rtigner, showed an anxiety the most indescribable. The African black excited the utin'st interest. He told the Sheriff and the Ordinary, that he had experienced such kind ness and improvement here, as to wish fur an opportunity of going once more amongst his countrymen, to render them all the services to he derived from his experience in England. An application is to be made to some of the principal mem bers of the African societies upon the ..tuoject. So rafted was every body who witnessed his cooduct i tliat a subsvriptioo was made for Win upon the spot, S si ifg ingi, uffap :55 ue litter con .!relf I, to Lper, I;inai 'don I Me r, is ate ST'S rdar n tem tess, aced iffier ice 104 it 3Car very IaII, a in .trltS ear. nti the Sy- and and red, in r of fives CA.. 11111, den 7 of ntl 11111 nr- No Ana re- Ir.
