Among the amusements of the Recess we have
heard of soma Private Theairicals, in which a little
good and very much bad acting has been exhibited.
Of the former sort we are told that Lord Eld—'s
Lockit, and Mr. C—nn—g's Peachum, in The
Beggars' Opera, were quite above ell praise. Not
having been behind the Sce.ies, or allowed to see
who pulled the wires and made the Popu,:ts dance,
we can only veal front report, and report says that
the 10th Scene, Act ‘2, never had its match on any
stage. According to the copy handed to us, some
slight liberties, it will appear, were taken with the
text, but veils acknowle.lge no bountb, and as every
verbal alteration is commeive to t Ike:, such a 11-
cense on such an occasion merits approbation rather
than censure. _ .

Pt:Actium by Mr. C—an—g, and Lovers. by Lord Eld—n, with I
an account book.
Lack—in this affair, blower Peach/oar, arc we agreed ? Do
you con,eut to go halves?
Peach.—\\'c shall navcr fall out about an execution—hut pray
how stands Our late account
Lock.—Tit for tat, brother—it is all f ,ir and clear now.
Peach.—' ins &tint:Lion from tile sa:arics of Government is
very haul upon us. Ciders p °pie in employment are paid but-
ter, I shall let other rogues Lee besides ourselves.
Lock.—Perhaps, brother, the pecyle are afraid these matters of
places and pensions may be earned too tar. We arc treated too
by them with contempt, as if our profession were not repteable.
Peach.—ln one respect, indevd our employment may he
reckoned dishonest, baause, like great Swtumcn, we encourage
those who betray weir friends.
LA.—Such language, Bitnlier. any where else (and you are
apt to be rash (might tura to your prejudice.) Learn to be mute
guarded, I beg you.
Alit—flow lw!, arc we, 4c.
When you et:risme the age,
Be cautious and sage,
Lest our Courtiers orti.ndecl should be:
It you mention vice ur bribe,
'Tis so pat Null the tribe;
Each cries—that was levcit'd at me!
Sure, Brother Peaclutni, there was a little unfair proceeding in
GEORGE'S ca e.
Peat-h.—Mr. Lockil—this is the first time my honour was ever
called in question.
Lock—Business is at an end—if once we act dishonourably.
Peach.—Who accuses me?
Lock.—You are warm, Brother.
Peach.—lle that attacks my honour attacks my livelihood—
and this usage, Sir, is not to be borne.
Lock.—Since you provoke ma to speak, I must tell you too,
that Mrs. Lisbon charges you with defrauding her of a large sum
Of money.
Pcacli.—ls this language to me, Sirrall ? (collaring each
otter).
toek.-11 I am hanged, it shall be ridding the world of an
arrant rogue.
Peach.—This hand shall do the office of the halter you deserve,
and throttle you—you dog !
Lock.—Brother, brother, we are both in the wrong—we shall
both be losers in the dispute—for yisi know what we can say of
each other. You should not be so pausionatc.
Peach.—Nur you so provoking.
Lock.—lt is our mutual interest that we should agree.
At It —G/ CeittiCCOet.
For if rich men like as were to swing,
'Twould thin the laud such numbers to string
Upon Tyburn tree!
if L said any thing, Brother, to the prejudice of your character
respeetabk person, as you are—l ask your intrwon.
Pew:h.—Brother Lack.?-1 can torgive, us well as resent.—
Give me your hand—Suspicion does col become a friend
tEzelint, reconciled, singing the Air in Act 3, scene 12,
To old Siltlo,4 the Niag.

TITHI7II —ln March, 1789, a remarkable Nisi
Priuscanse was heard at the Court-house, Kilkenny,
before a Mr. Justice Daquery and a respectable
jury, in which the Rev. Mr. Stone, ti Kells, in the
county of Meath, was plaintiff, and Sidenham Davis,
Esq. of Johnsville, defendant. The action was
brought to recover 2001. due for tithes leased by the
defendant to the plaintill, as Rector of Kiltnocaltil,
when, after, a trial of some length, the counsel for
the defendant produced a Statute of Charles 1., by
which it is enacted, that every rector shall reside
80 days in his parish every year, and preach 13 ser-
a mons, otherwise he will not be entitled to the tithes
or dues of his parish ; and as it was proved that the
Rector was non-resident, the jury found a verdict
fur the defendant, with 6.1. costs.
BREAD-11AILING.—A machine has lately been
introduced at Lausautie, in Switzerland, for waling bread—that
is, fur preparing the fermentation of the dough, winch seems to
deserve imitation in other countries. It is simply a deal box,
a foot in breadth and height, mid two feet in length, placed on
imports, by which it is turned by a handle like the cylinder
used 10r roasting coffee. One aide of the box opens with a
hinge to admit the dough, and the box is turned round. The
time requisite to produce fomentation depcials on the tempe-
rature of the air; the quickneas of the tinning, and oilier circum-
stances. But when the opei mina is performed, it is known by
the shrill biasing of the air rit liking its escape, which generally
happens in half an hour. Tile ;men is always extremely well
raised ; perhaps too mach sometimes. The labour is nothing,
for the machine, such as is here described, may be turned by a
child. Nu hooks, points, crux,-barn, or any oilier connivance,
can be wanted without the box, to break ur separate the masa
of dough fur these operation* are sufficiently effected by the
adhesion of the dough to the side of the box. If the machine
lie wide of greater length, and divided by cross partitions nt the
right angle to the sides, different kinds of dough may be pre •
pared at the came time. One trident advantage of such a eon-
trisance is that bread manufactured in this way must be per•
ectly .lean and .rte (rem accidental soiling.

rin.tcr AND ULTIMO.
[Firm the Jamaica Royal Goalie of Aug. 3.1
The following affidavit details a most horrid and
diabolical act of piracy and murder. The citeum.
stance has been laid before the Admiral, at which he
expressed great abhorrence.; he stated that the first
brig of war he could get hold of should be stationed
in the quarter where the piracy was committed ;
and that he was in hopes that some of our cruisers
would capture one of those scoundrels, to enable
him to make an example :
(COPY)
JAMAICA, SS.—Personally appeared before me, one of his
Maj. sty's Justices of the Peace, Hugh Hamilton, °twiner,
woo being duly sworn, makelli oath and snith, he sided as
mate on board the sloop Messing, W illiant Smith, master, and
bad made three voyaliTs from the port of ()soothes'', in this
island, to Si. Jago de Cuba ; and that in the return of the fsssth
toy age of the said .loop, about the beginning of the present
mo.ith (but the deponent cannot name the day), were fallen in
with by a lung black sehoouer, with blaek mouldings (then),
the name of Ensesseiel netrked un her stern, and Collllll4lllled by
a white snit., with a mixed crew of colour and countries,
anion., whom were English or Americans ; that after bringing
the sloop to, the ptivateer or pirate's boats came alongside,
and took out the captain and his son with all the crew, and
carried them on hoard of the schooner, leaving the sloop in
possession of his people ; that be demanded of the captain his
money or his life. The captain persisted that he had none, but
profit-red him the cargo, which consisted of one hundred bar-
rels of dour, and 50 tierces of cornmeal (marked 8" within
a diamond) ; that on the following day, not producing any
money, a plank was run out in the starboard side of the priva-
teer, upon which be made Captain Smith walk, and that as he
approached to the end, they tilted the plank, when be dropped
into the sea. and there, while in the effort of swimming, the
Captain called fur his musket and fired at him therewith, when
he mink and was seen. no wore. The rest of the crew were
ironed below, with the exception of his son, a boy of about
fourteen years of age, who witnessed the fate of his father
While in the agony of tears and crying, the Captain took the
bole-end of the musket and knocked the boy ou the head, then
took ban by the foot, and hove him overboard ; that on the
day following this sad event, having previously taken out all
the rigging, sails, &c. of the sloop, be set her ou lire and burnt
her ; and on the same day gave the crew, consisting of three
others, and he, this depouent (having stripped us of every ar-
ticle but what we had on our backs), the jolly-host, with a
bucket of water, and one biscuit each person, without a com-
pass, which we asked for, but were refused by his saying he
would soouer give hell !—to he off, or he would sink ibem."
Thus we parted, and iu the afternoon of the same day were
picked up by the schooner Mary Aux, belonging to Black River,
and were lauded at Port Morant on the Itith of July, 1b22.
(Signed) HUM HAMILTON.
Taken and sworn before me, in the presence of G. Mackay,
Esq: at Roselle Estate, iu St. hotuas's in the East, this 29th
day of July, 1b22.
(Signed) R. FERGUSON.
MF,M.—The Captain of :,ie pirate is a tall robust man, of a
swarthy complexion, Roman nose, long visage, but cannot
speak to any other particu ar marke.
About the middle of last month a suspicions-looking schooner,
very probably the one alluded to above, was seen hovering off
the east cud ; and very shortly after she had disappeared, •
vessel of war, supposed to be the Tyne, hove in sight ; and
the Bustard could not have been far °flat the time. lt is lobe
regretted that she was not fallen in with by either of them, that
some of these freebooters of the ocean might have been brought
to public Justice, to atus,c such daring crimes, and be thii
means in some measure of deterriug others from coutinuing in
them.

HYDROPHOBIA.— On the 31st of July last, Mr.
S. moods, of .ligh-street, Boston, had a dog which went mad,
and before it was destroyed hit a men and several animals.—
The psr:iculars of iris event haying become generally known,
the Magiatratea of this borough, to prevent as much as possible
the spreading of such a teraible disorder, isaued
and gave other public notice, requiring all persons to keep
their dogs confined for the spare of one month, stud directing
the constables to shoot all dogs found at large. The lime having
elapsed, and no miacliief basing appeared, it was hoped that
Mr. S)moutli's dog was killed bcture the decease bad suited
at that crisis alien the bite became infectious; and the dread
ahich the public at first experienced began to subside, and
gradually to escape recollection. Unfortunately, however, a
sow which belonged to 'Alm Kent, a row-keeper of Skirbeck
Quarter, was attacked with the disorder nth 'numbly last, sad
aster having showu indubitable marks of hydrophobia, was
destroyed. As the dog, during its paruaysiu, gut into the
icy where the sow and another pig was abut up, and bit both
(the last so much that it was destroyed directly ), there can be
no doubt that the infection was thus communicated, though 50
days had intervened.
lit the Police Court of Edinburgh a case of some
importance to the public was decided on the 10th of thiamouth.
A lady, at AS auction of what was stated to he a bankrupt stack
of haberdashery gouda, purchased two plaids fur the sum of
V. be. -td. These the 'monomer described as consisting of
silk, as being of full Mee., that they bad cost each three guineas
and were generally sold for three guineas and a half each. Un
afterwards examita,ng her purchase, the lady discovered th.t
she had been imposed upon by a false description, the attached
fringes and burly alone being of silk, while the large figured
ends and the ligtited borders were of cotton, and they were
besides of a smaller site thins usual: She therefore applied for
her money, and offered back the goods, and the auctioneer not
complying, she lodged a complaint against him, upon the
bearing of which the Cou.t ordered him to restore the pi ice,
he getting back the gouda, Slid be was also found liable in the
expenses.
HIILUMATISM—A young man who resides in the
neighbouiltood of Carlisle was, for some time, so severely
afflicted with the rheumatism, that lie was under the necessity
id having recourse to the use of crutches ; he was recommended
to apply young 'miller, to the parts affected ; and after continuing
the use of them three or four times a day, for three days, he
was completely restored.
Officers of the Excise visited Bristol (luring the
last week, fur the purpose of ransacking shops and warehouses,
o pursuit of foreign silks, &c. At one highly respectable
, shop in the silk trade they seized a parcel 0. Irish poplins,
under the prateoce that the duty had not been paid. The shop-
keepers exhibited the invoice Iran an erniuent London house,
in vain. At the smite shop they made free with • quai4ity of
. Norwich crape, and actually carried it uff,
foreign soluinfactuire. mistaking it fur
