TiIIATRE,

DRURY LAX&
Miss Di ;Nears appeared last night in the Chou-
ter of Rosa ;ad, in SIIAK.PEARE'S heautifel Comedy,
At Yea Li/., It. Itotatind has always been cocsi-
tiered one of the most interesting, but difficult at-
tempts in the female range of the drama. It cow
bins exquisite delicacy with fortitacie, sens:Katy
with intrepidity, the polish of a court under the
semblance of rustic manners, and a heart
with love, without any of its usual embarrassm.'re,;
but light, airy, and playful. A chat aCter
finished, and requiring such delicate and divers,
talents, few have attempted, and still fewer ha
commanded success. Miss llt; sc s proved hc•
self last night equal to all its points. We nes,:
witnessed a more finished performance. This charm-
ing actress appeared in possession of the gage, of
herself, and of her audience. Her Crelvo Saes *as
' given in the most enchanting style, and excited ea-
' thusiastic applause front every part of the .hoax
Mr. ELLISTON did ample justice to the charaaer of
Orlando. We hope that gentleman will continve to
consult his own taste and judgment, regardless el
the pw,y attacks uf ignorant or purchased critician.
The young lady whu made her first appearance an
Monday, in the charafter of Marie, in The Wool
for Scandal, was the representative of I'hu4e. She
has a pretty face, a handsome person, and a good
voice. Mrs. SUPITI.tY never appeared to gre:tt4t
advantage than in the chat-after of Cale. The
gown pi:era...wed with an elegant audiestest.

bited the appearance of any other wild and timid
animal. She started, looked wild, hastened with the
utmost precipitation to her cave, which she entered,
and barricadoed the entrance with old shells which
she pulled from the decayed trees. To this hum-
ble mansion we approached, and after some
conversation with her, we obtained liberty to re-
move the pallis.tdoes and look in ; for we were
not able to enter, the room being enly suffici-
ent to accommodate a single person. We con-
versed with her for some considerable time,
found her to be of a sound mind, a religious turn of
thought, and to be entirely happy and contented
with the situation; of this she has given to others
repeated demonstration, who have in vain, solicited
her to quit this dreary abode. c saw no utensil,
either for labour or cookery, excepting an old pewter
bacon, and a gourd-shell ; no bed but the solid rock,
unless it were a few old rags, scattered here and there
upon it; no bed clothes of any kind; nor the least
appearance of any sort of food and no fire.
She had, indeed, a place in one corner of her cell,
where she kindles a fire at times, but it does not ap-
pear that any fire has been kindled there this spring.
To confirm this opinion, a gentleman says that he
passed her cell five or six days after the great tall of
snow in the beginning of March last, that she had
no fire then, and had not been out of her cave since
the snow had fallen. How she subsists during the
severe seasons, is yet a mystery. She says she eats
but little flesh of any kind, and it is difficult to ima-
gine how she is supported through the winter season.
In the summer she subsists on the berries, nuts, and
roots, which the mountains afford. It may be, that
she secretes her winter store in some other fissure in
the rock, more convenient for that purpose, than
the cell she inhabits.

She keeps a Bible with her, and says, she takes
much satisfaction, and spends much time in read-
ing in it, and meditating therein. It may be, this
woman is a sincere wol shipper of God ; if so, she is
yet more rich, wise, and happy, than thousands in af-
fluence and honour,who beheld her with astonishment
and scorn. At any rate, from this humble, yet as-
tonishing page of human nature, we read a most
interesting leaure on the human heat. It was
the peculiar state of this woman's heart which
d:ove her to forsakl the society of man, and led her
to this solitary mansion. The peculiar relish of
the human heart will embrace solitude, dishonour,
deformity, and death itself, for happine,s, whilst
its antipathies can embitter a paradise of joy. Rea-
son has no power against its influence; it is not the
energy of science, but a heart forced to a wise, de-
cent, and useful lite, that must regenerate the world.

reached Itosernarydane, Red Lion.streer, the tu-

EXTRAORDI.vARY OCCURRENCE.

A singular circumstance occurred a few evenings
ago, in Mount-street watch-house :—A stone ma.
son's labourer, in the South Mews, being deteete t,
on leaving the yard, at one o'clock, with a quanti-
ty of broken saws, and other it ,n, in his apron,
stolen property, was given in charge to a Constable,
and conveyed to the watch-house, in Mount-street,
Grosvenor-square. A tier a long investigation, he
was ordered under the care of a man 4 the name
of Peddingtone, the watch-house-keeper, who had
been for forty years in the parish, and had gone
through all the offices of watchman, patrole, compt-
roller of the watch, regulat.T of parish jurispru-
dence, of licences, hired and common constable,
staff assistant, and, at length, arrived at the (ll-
nity of watch-house k..eper. His common residence
WAS below stairs, upon a level with the place in
which the culprit was confined. While at tea, in
the afternoon, with his wife, family, and servant-
maid, he started in a rage, and swore d—n his
eyes, he thought he saw the Prisoner hang himself—
took out a long clasped knife from his pocket, open-
ed it, took the key of the cell in his right hand, and
approached the dungeon. To his utter astonish-
ment, on entering, he found the culprit suspended
from the beam of- the dungeon, by his neck-hand-
kerchief and an old apron, the shings of which be
had tied to the beam; the handkerchief being fasten.
ed to the apron by a running knot, mud round his neck.
When cut down by the watch-house keeper, he was
apparently dead; but being dragged into the kitchen,
and placed in a chair, before the fire, he fell into
convulsions, and, recovering„said, the devil was
coming for him and the watch house-keeper," and,
added he, " particularly for you (pointing to NJ-
dingtone), who robbed my master this night of his
due, by cutting me down too soon." 'I his, with
several other frantic expressions, so frightened the
watch-house-keeper, that he changed his sear, and
took a more elevated situation, from which he view-
ed, with fear and astoni.dasnent, the convulsed situa-
tion of the Prisoner; when, all on a sudden, his
wife, his maid, and himself, were distuils-J by a
sudden and unexpcfted noise, which rattled the
china plates, chairs, tables, and every other move-
able article in the room. At this ins:ant, the Pri-
soner jumped from his chair, to a considerable height,
esten.fed his arms, and hollowed out, I)evil, devil,

at the watch-houw.k-eeer, he so terribly alarmed
him, that th • latter immediately fell into a fit, and
so continued, without any intermission, till two
o'clock yesterday m Tiling, when he expired in great
agonies. We are sorry to add, that the servant.

DUBLIK, Ocr.

A rumour, relative to tii.• Catholic claims. was
yesterday very general. It received no credence,
however, among those who were likely to be the
best informed upon that subjeft.
We have been told of a very atrocious outrage
committed some nights ago near Ballinascorney,
the county of Dublin. Some villains entered the
house of a person named Walsh, at that place, and
barbarously placed the man upon the fire to born.
we suppose to extort some confession about money,
while plundering him of his property.
Yesterday. the Quarter Assembly was held at the
Exhibition-house, William-street. The business
consisted principally of votes of freedom to the fol-
lowing gentlemen, viz. Capt. Usher, of the Ce'pa.4:
sloop of war, for bravely landing on the French
coast five of his men, and unshipping a fltg bclo 'g-
ing to the enemy ; also, to Judge Osborne, to Dr.
Martin, Chairman of the Court of Direaors of the
Royal Canal Company, and to Godfrey James, Esq.
an Officer of the Court of King's Bench.
The Sheriffs and Commons appointed a commit..
. _

• •
tee to represent to his Excellency the Lord L euttr
nant the distrest arisiitgfo trade from the bad st:tt
of the coin, and submit such remedy as to them
should appear efedual.
The barbarous pratlice, }toughing cattle, we are
sorry to observe, is not confi .ed to the courty of
C Ivan—it has extended to Carlow, where a number
of cows and horses were cruelly hougi:ed a few
nights ago, on the lands of Sherwood. Exclusive
of this flagrant breach, the laws are otherwise re-
speded in the above counties, where the utmost
tranquillity prevails.—(DtiPm E:e4ing Pest.)

Nor was it the mere puerile attention of a boy of
thirteeen—it appeared that of a deep thinking adult
—nor was it ever interrupted or changed into boyish
PLATfulness or inattemion between the acts. We
never witnessed a more sedate and decorous deport.
meat in the gravest men. lie is truly, both on and

The Dormitory, outside the precinasof the Theatre,
was crowded with the scholats and others waiting
departure, which he made in the most engaging
and graceful manner, a.ni.:st the universal and
heartfelt plandits of all present.
The Theatre overflowed wait an elegant company.
Even the avenue to the pit and boxes was as crowd..

" 1 beg leave to represent to your Lordship, that much Isis.
chief is likely to was from the frauds committed by issuing id
counterfeit Silver Coin chicly brought from Ireland, and fre-
quently east*, the better to deceive the Pubhc ; and from an
erroneous opinion has ;ag prevailed that, because it was once
circulated in Ireland (though since suppressed therel„ it is now
not unlawful to circulate it here.

" In order, therefore, to stop the progress of this evil, and to
give eificacy to thtrlawsfor the punishment of pet.lll, uttering

heir several districts in the county of ---, to give notice
to the public that large quantities sal such b..se coin are in eir-
rotation ; that such circulation is an offence against the laws
and to recommend it to traders and others to secure the tartlet
tendering such money, and also the counterfeit looney ten-
dared, se as to identify it j stating, at the same time, in sic i
notice, that, on the apirlication to a Magistrate (in case the facts
can be sufficientls, proved ;, the offenders will be prosecuted br•

in that case a nasonatile compensation will be made for the
low of time asid trouble of the w.tneues in such proaecutioo.
". To co.ii.tate this mole of proceedinc, and the better to

SIR EDWARD COKE.

original manuscript of Sr Edward Coke's
Commentary upon the Tenures of Littleton has
lately discovered in the British Museum,
bad escaped the observation Not only of the
gentlemen, who some years ago published a
,sitson of this invaluable work, but also of all
ibrarians. It is an extremely thick book, small
%lie, and the leaves are very closely written
At the beginning, are some very curious
,tars of Sir Edward Coke's We, in his own
writing, which sbew many inaccuracies in his
rphers. It appears to have been formerly or-
ited with a very rich embroidery, wrought
, Edward's daughter ; but of this, few traces
present remain. An edition of Littleton. printeJ
year 1572, by Tottill, is inserted about the
of the book. which is curious from noticing.
e particular mark, the various interpolations and
**Mous which had been at diEtrent times made on

AGRICULTURE.

A very ingenious mechanic is Piccadilly has
lately receiveda premium from the Society for the
encouragement of Arts and Mannfatures, for the
invention of a Machin* without a *ail to thresh
corn. It was tried on Monday seemliest in the pre.
senor of Lord Somerville, and several gentlemen
belonging to the Board of Agriculture, all of
who& pronounced it a very valuable Machine. The
great use of it is to save time in threshing ; the ex-
pedition of its process being wonderful. When
the experiment was tried before the gentlemen al.
lulled too a truss of wheaten straw WAS brought
from the market, and being put under the Machine,
to the astonishment a all present, more thin three
pints of grain were obtained from the straw which
was such as is used in common for stables, &c.
The Machine is worked by a single ham, and prin-
cipally consists of a cylinder of a large magnitude,
that turns horizontally and is perforated wth holes,
with two horizontal whcels working in unison. The
grain is no tray briiised by the rt.-loess ; but is con-
sidered more it for sowing than that threshed in the
ordinary way.

lIRIGHTON, 3uLT 2.

The number of arrivals here within these few days
are beyond all precrolett. Should the two succeed.
ing weeks be distingnished by a similar progressive
influx of company, the town will indeed be com-
pletely filled in all parts. The Military Parade last
night was decorated with an immense confluence of
fashionable spe.ftators. The troops were dismissed
about $ o'clock; from which time, until nearly 10,
the flteyne Promenade exhibited a most interesting
display of rank and beauty. Among the most dis-
tinguished pedestrians on the Green were Lord ald
Lady Camden, Lord Craven, Lady Stuart, Lord and
Lady Pelham, Mr. and Miss Neville, Sir Charles
Burrell. Captains Ducey, Chester, Burchel, and
Colonel, Mrs. and the Ms: Moors. &c &c. The
Sussex band, as usual, enlivened the Promenade by
a skilful performance of some of their best pieces
The Races at Lewes. to-day, arranged principally
by the Military Officers of this Distria, have at-
tracted a large portion of the e!egastes from this
place, to witness the sports; the particulars of which
may be expelled in my next letter:
Mrs. Stackpole, the lady of Captain Stackpole,
of the Inniskillens, we are extremely sorry to an-
nounce, expired here on Thursday last. This ami•
able lady survived her t;remr4emrnt of a son,
nearly three weeks, when the dreadful storm of Sun-
day se'nnight so dreadfully alarmed her, that so the
affright which she then received is attributed her
subsemtent and deeply regretted dissolution.
Mrs. Martin's elegant Lonnirr. in East-street, is be-
coming the morning resort of the L tdies.
The New Belding Green daily exhibits much
fashionable bustle ; the Rural Fete intended to have
hen given there to-day, in consequence of the Races
at Lewes. is postponed until Tuesday.

A new method if purifying water has heels lately
invented. It consi,ts of simply contain; small
piece of charcoal, bet not reduced to powder, and
the water which pities through it is rapidly purified.
At the School of Medicine at Paris, the experiment
was made with water, in which corrupted carcases
had lain for three days ; it speedily passed through
the charcoal, by which it became perfeuly limpid,
and had neither taste nor smell.
A man who was left to watch the well of the
pomp in Golden.square, on Friday evening, which
had been opened on that day, baying drank

of twenty-five feet, into five feet water. Fortunately
a rope hadbeen left suspended in the well, by which
he held until his cries hrought to him assistance.
fie was conveyed to the Middlesex Hospital mach
bruised.
