MARGATE, Spy. it.

On Friday last, a grand Vocal Concert took plate
at the Aswan* Itootns, for the benefit of Miss.
Wctrearr, which was fashionably attended. It
lining the last night of Miss .DUNCAN'a
'twit at the Theatre, many were attracted therein
preference to the Assembly Rooms. Miss W 110.•
PART distinguished herself much, and received
great and deserved applause for her performance
011 the grand piano forte. The duct with her fa-
ther upon the pedal harp also called forth much
approbation. Mr. Dos, be, Mr. Hoses, 'and •two
Misses Scorr, contributed considerably to the en-
tertuilunent of the company, in several favourite
glees, songs, duets and trios. The whole con-
cluded situ' " God save the King."
While such wits the evening's amusement at the
Assembly Rooms, Miss UUNCAN was performing
the part of Mrs. Oakley, in the Comedy of The
Jealous Wife and of Lady Contest, in the farce of
The Weikling Day. DE CAMP performed the
part of Lord Trinket; amid LOVeGROVE that of
Sir Harry flea; le ; the former of these gentlemen
has since taken his departure for LonfOn. Jliss
Dustcart, upon that same evening, introduced the
song of At the dead of the sight, highly to the
satisfaction of the audience. Although Friday was
the last night of her engagement, it was not the
last of her performance here, for on Saturday she
performed, for her own benefit, to one of the most
overflowing houses known this season, the part of
Fiolante, in The Wander a Woman keeps a Secret,
and the part of Rosana, in the musical entertain-
ineut of that mime. The three Misses DENNET
danced' a new Pas de Troia ; Mr. Stam, ,? per-
formed his favourite trumpet Concerto ; and Mr.
Lovenaove, in character, sang, with his usual
humour, the comic song of The Ahnanaek-ataker.
—Upon the whole, the variety of Entertainments
seemed so much to-gratify the audience, that they
must regret that the Theatres of the metropolis
are likely so soon to deprive them of many of the
priueipal performers.
Miss DUNCAN performs yet once more.—At the
end of the Play, The Provoked Rimbaud, and The
Turnpike Gate, were announced for Monday, for
ilie.benefit of the Sea Bathing Infirmary; in the
former of which she plays the part of Lady Towel,.
It appears to be a subject of general surprise
here, that the numerous and fashionable congrega-
tion that assemble hers at this season of the year,
are not edified by the preaching of a sermou at the
parish church. The Follies, extravagancies, and
gambling propensities of some, together with the
care-worn countenances, and the evident marks of
a near approach to eternity in others, certainly call
loudly for some kind, diligent, and attentive Pas-
tor, to wean the affections of the former class from
the tee-totiiin and the dice, and to smooth, for the
latter class, that rugged and narrow way which
leudeth to " another and a better world."

GALLANT EXPLOIT,

A very gallant exploit has been performed by a
small detachment frost ape of our cruisers in the
Mediterranean. An Italian brig of war being
chased under a battery, the party of Royal Ma.
hues, which consisted of two Lieutenants and
forty-five rank and file, were landed just out of
gun-shot—these brave fellows immediately ascend-
ed the heights, when, uptn approaching the battery.
the French Officer, who commanded. confident of
his strength (having upwards of seventy men of the
favourite French regiment the Sd Legere) marched
out with a field-piece to attack them. The Lieu-
tenant, without firing a musket, ordered his men
to charge, which was executed so firmly. that al-
though the French maintained their ground for
some time with great courage, they at last gave way,
leaving their field-piece behind, and our men, by a
masterly manoeuvre, having placed themselves be-
tween them and the battery, of which they got pos-
session, opened a heavy fire upon the brig, which,
upon the approach of our frigate, hauled down her
colours. Thu whole then, after spiking the guns,
and blowing up the magazines, re-embarked. Our
loss on this service, which was the admiration of all
who witnessed it, was the Second Lieutenant of
Marines, badly wounded in the arm, one serjeant
anti seven privates killed, and five badly wounded.

SPBAIII NG, of the Stsbtle schooner, loot his
life in the late attempt 011 St. Martin's. lie fell as
he was bravely leading his men to the lost attack of
the batteries, lie was buried with the honours of
war, the French Commandant attending his fu-
neral obsequies. 2

ANTIQUITIES.

A curious piece of antiquity has lately been dis-
covered in the church-yard of Hemel Henistcad, in
Hertfordshire. In digging a sank for a young
lady of the name of Warren, the sexton, when he
hail excavated the earth about four feet below the
surface of the ground, found his spade to strike
against something solid, which, upon inspection,
he found to be a large wrought stone, which proved
to be the lid of a coffin, and under it the coffin
entire, which was afterwards taken up in perfect
condition ; but the bones contained therein, ou
being exposed to the air, crumbled to dust. On
time lid of the coffini is an inscription, partly effaced
by time, bid still sufficiently legible, decidedly to
prove it contained the ashes of the celebrated Offa,
Ring of the Mcrcians, who rebuilt the Abbey of St.
Alban's, and died in the eighth century.
The coffin is about tit fret long, and contains a
niche or resting place for the head,and also a groove
on each side for the arms, likewise for the legs ; it
is curiously carved, and altogether unique of the
kind. The Curate of the parish, the Rev. Mr.
Bingham, hat deposited it in a house adjacent to
time church-yard, where the curious ■re flocking
daily and hourly to see it, on whom he levies a
contribution of one shilling each, for such indul-
gence. The chinch was built in the seventh cen-
tury. The Watling-street road runs within a
mile of this place, and many Roman coins have
lately been found in the vicinity, particularly while
digging for the Grand Junction Canal.

THEATRES.

DRUM...LANE»
The new Drama, entitled Vomit or, The
Novice qf St. 31ork's, wits repeated at this Theatre,
last night. The masquerade scene, in the third
act, which gyre some dissatisfaction on the first
performance, was entirely omitted. The interest
was also much heightened by sonic pathetic senti-
meno4 of contrition with which the character,of the
Courtless is embAlished, and which were ap,,k0.1
with great effect by Mrs. POWELL. The derrout-
mod was also more naturally brought about by the
intrit,lnetion of the Countess in the early part of
the third act. These are only some of the
iinprot fluent* which the piece has received.—
It went off, in tainsequtaiee, with increased effect,
awl was announced for future representation,
amidst loud and 4eneral plaudits. The several per-
formers acquitted themselves most succe.sfilly in
their reopeetive port.. Mr. H. SIDDONS never ap-
peared to more advantage, Of received more merited
applause. Mr. littlyrutt sustained the part of Ve-
rna with increased effect ; and Mr. WROUUHSON'S
Prior was an excellent i.erforinalice. Mr. PEN LEY
was very correct in the Steward; and the little the
Author itsitigOrd to Mrs. H. Stone) SS was gives' with
all her natural delicacy and softness. The fisher-
, men's trio was again encored ; Ind the piece. we
liege no diniht, will become a favumite. .

TII EARL OF LIMERICK.

We cannot trace the family of PI:AT fartlier

on record was a Colonel in the army. The titmily

tany. But more modern historians conceive the
name to have been trout the iiimilinate
lore of gold that has peria.l.l.l the family, that
they originally can.. f, eel the mi ei of
name. The grand-Lather of the present Fart

THE PEASANTS OF WASH.

The cause of the peasants about Wass rising en-
masse is thus given iu it letter from Kiwi', brought
to Stockholm by a fisherman Mr. falander,
an old and eminent merchant of %Vua, having
been ordered tc swear allegiance to the Emperor
of Russia, refused obstinately, and even exhorted
those around him rather to be shot thau to degrade
themselves. Tnis so exasperated the Russians,
that they took the worthy gentleman and sent hint
as prisoner to Frednishamn. On the road he met
many peasants whom he knew, and he told them
privately, that he hoped his old friends, whom he
had often trusted with corn, salt, and tobacco,
would assist the Swedish army, now approaching,
to drive the ltusriaus 'away. and to set hint at li-
berty. The rumour of the goOd Falander 'as they
called him) having been dragged from his home,
soon spread about, and no sooner did the Swedes
land at Wasa, than these brave friends of Falan-
der fell upon nll the Cossack vedettes and posts,
and made them prisoners. The bloody battle of
Wasa followed, which began with the slaughter of
the Swedes, but ended in the complete destruction
of the Russians. The general rumour is here, that
when Colonel Berganstrole approached the shore
with his fiptadrou, on the 24th of June, a boat
came out from a bay, to inform him that the Rus-
sians, bad evacuated that part of the country. The
messengers, however, were no other than two Rus-
sians, disguised as peasants. This stratagem suc-
ceeded but too well, fur the first column, of Coo
men, which was sent to reconnoitre, and to. occupy
Wasa, finding no enemy, was led into a snare,
and perished every one—for no sooner' were they
conic within the town, than guns opened upon
than horn several houses and &weaves, so as to
preclude all possibility of .tope, or .n defend
themselves. But this snc.:ess cost the Rlissiens
dear—for when the other troops and those of
Kling.por dime up, no quarter was given, and
600 Russians are said to have atoned far the
massacre of the Swedes: the peasants could not be
restrained, and it was with the greatest diffienlty
that Colonel eidlererente could pave 600 pn-
loners from the hands of the enraged populace.
The official report is gone to the hiug, and you
will soon see it in the papers."

This was an action thy the out-going tenant or a
farm, against the in-coming tenant, for a compensa-
tion for fellows, ploughings, and sowings, according
to the custom of the country. The valuers on both
sides were called. and they agreed, within a few
pounds, as to the compensation the Plaintiff was to
have.—A verdict was found, of course, for the
Plaintilr.

DIACICAT I. BROWNE.
This was an action for a trespass, so breaking
into the Plaintiff's coach-yard, and destroying
certain rails and posts erected there. The Defend-
ant justified, claiming a right of door-way into the
yard, as a light for his granary. It was stated, that
both the granary and the yard were formerly iu the
occupation of the same person. who broke out the
door-way in question, but that he afterwards sold
the graoary, and blocked up the door-way leading
into the stable-yard. After the Counsel fur the
Plaintiff had opened his case, the matter ass
agreed to be referred to a Gentleman of the Bar.

BLITT th BOWNI•N.

This was also an action of trespass, for breaking
the Plaintifrs close at Canabury, in this county.—
The Defendant justified, claiming"' right of way
over the grouuds in question. The question was
whether it was a public road or not? A great num-
ber of ancient inhabitants were called to prove that
it had formerly been common fields, atmi the road
only used for carrying away the crops.—The Jury
fouled a verdict for the Plaintiff.

HOME CIRCUIT.

HEATIORD. MONDAY, AUG. I.
The Loaf) Cum JUSTICE and the Cellar BARON
of the EXCHEQUER arrived in this town about 18
o'clock this morning. They first went to the Town
Ilan, and read -the Commission for holding the
Assizes ; afterwards they heard Divine Service, and
proceeded to the business of the County. Neither
on the Civil or Criminal side is there any business
of much interest, except that three young men of
fortune mid family are in the gaol, and stand
charged with having stolen several articles of plate
from au inn. They are very
.) oung, and said to be
related to persons or high respectability, and have
each an independent fortune on their coming of age.
Their trials will come on to-morrow.

All the business on the Civil Side was finished by
Lord Ellenborough in ahnut three hours. There
were eight causes eatcr,ed, but all for were matters
of cause, such as. fur Komar sold, and for non-pay-
ment of undisputed debts.
