THE THEATRES.

kuljautrt-LANE.—It must be very gratifying to
43 ?'head critics to find that so excellent a comedy
the 'he School for Scandal retains its hold upon
o,ty,Pnblic, for though the audience was not very
se,:er°ll4 last night at the representation, they
th-tned to be of a select order, by the attention
ippl bestowed, and the judicious direction of their
eiZsuse•--The chief novelty, and, of course, the
44''' attraction, of last night, was the first appear-
Wee of Miss KELLY in the part of Lady Teazle.

WINDSOR, DEC. 2.--Ilis MAJESTY enjoys excellent
health. All former rumours relative to his Majesty going to

'Phis afternoon his Majesty took his usual exercise in the Great
Park.

FASHIONS FOR THE PRESENT MONTH.
(From the Lady's lifogazi;2e, No. XXX V.—Nrw Series.)
PRIVATE CONCERT DR ESS.—A low dress of tulle over
white satin ; the border of the skirt trinnned next the hem with
a full puckering of tulle, confined by white satin straps; this
ornament is headed by three bias folds of white satin. The
sleeves are long and en blouse; but confined up to the elbow by
several bands of white satin. The hotly is made plain, and

`w` This number contains two good engravings, one repre-
sentmg incident in Tales of the Crusaders, and the other, the
New Bridge in the Regent's Park.

The Earl of Liverpool came to town yesterday morning from
his residence at Coombe Wood.

The Earl and Countess of Jersey have arrived at their seat,
Middleton Park, Oxfordshire, from a tour.
Earl Verulam has arrived at his seat, Goritambury, Herts,
from a tour.

We lament to learn that the Duke of Bedford is seriously
indisposed at Paris. His illness began, we understand, with a
sore throat. His Grace is accompanied at the French metropolis
by his Duchess, axd has of course every attention that his
situation demands.

GIBRALTAR, Nor. 7.—T he Siphi/gia schooner,
belonging to the Emperor of Mottocco, arrived
here yesterday. She mounts six gnus. It is un-
derstood that the Commander of the Sicilian
ship Vesuvio has concluded a truce for his nation,
with the Moors, for one month.

The following account of the loss of the Mul-
grave Castle is given in the South African Com-
mercial Advertiser of the 7th of September :
" On Saturday evening, soon after nine o'clock,
the ship Mulgrave Castle (450 tons), Captain
RALPH, from Gravesend, the 30th of May, bound
to Madras and Calcutta, unfortunately got on
shore near the Moulin battery at Green Point.
Early on Sunday morning she bulged, and was
completely filled with eater. Owing to the as-
sistance received from the short;, and the weather
continuing fine, the greater part of the cargo
will be saved, but it is feared the hull must be-
Collie a total wreck. The night was Calm and
star-light. The loss of the vessel is attributed
to the strong insetting of the current, and a sud-
den haziness coming on, which caused a decep-
tive appearance in the diitance of the light-house.
A few minntes before the ship struck, she was
in 14 fathoms water; the captain on the gang-
way, attending to the leadsman,and all the hands
on board looking out."
An error has generally gone forth on the sub-
ject of Sir II UDSON Lowe. That Officer is not
appointed Governor of Ceylon, which situation
is now held by Lieutenant-Ceneral Sir Edward
Barnes. Sir Hudson Lowe is appointed second
in command, and is a Major-General on the Staff
of the above Island.—(Morning Post.)
Mr. PEEL, at the Anniversary dinner of the
Royal Society on Wednesday, announced that
his Majesty had placed two annual medals, of
the value of 50 guineas each, at the disposal of
the Council of the Royal Society, to be distri-
buted by them as rewards for scientific dis-
coveries. The two Copley Medals were award-
ed to M. A rago, the Astronomer Royal of France,
and to Mr. Barlow, the Professor of Mathematics
in the Military Academy at Woolwich. Both
these medals were given for discoveries relating
to the variation of the magnetic needle.

A report had been in circulation for some days
that the frigate, on board which M. DunAs
de GrussloNtrs, embarked for Batavia, had
been wrecked off the coast of Portugal. We
learn, from good authority, that these reports are
wholly destitute of foundation.
LONDON MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.—Near
two thousand Members are actually paying their
subscriptions to this flourishing Institution. The
library of circulation, model room, and museum
are now open, and every day the collection of
books increases. In consequence of its great
success, we understand a Meeting is about to be
called for the purpose of establishing a similar
Institution in the Borough.
RICHARD JAMES JENNEY, Egg., of the island
of Trinidad, was on Saturday last called to the
Bar, by the Honourable the Society of the Mid-
dle
Temple.
On Friday, the 25th Ult. GEORGE BINSTEED
FARRANT, Esq. was called to the Bar, by the
Honourable Society of the Inner Temple.
A woman died lately at Zwornegoschutz, in
Silesia, aged 155 years. Notwithstanding her
great age she still employed herself every day in
weaving, eat with a good appetite, drank every
day two glasses of brandy, and walked on Sun-
day to church, which was a mile distant. The
day before her death she had worked in the
fields and taken her meals as usual.

PO E 1' It Y.
A MOTHER'S GRIEF.
By tic Rev. T. D.11.E.-- From FR lENI;6IiIP'S OFFERING.'

To mark the sufferings of the babe
That cannot speak its woe ;
To see the in ''ant tears gush forth,
Yet know not xv:v they flow ;
To meet the meek uplifted eye,
That fain wc,uld ask reiiet,
Yet can but tel of etv,.—
This is a mother's grief !
Thro' dreary days and darker night's,
To trace the match of death ;
To hear the faint and frequent sigh,
The coick and shortened hreath, ;
To watch the last dread strife draw near,
And pray that struggle brief,
Though all is ended with its close,—
This is a mother's. grief! •
To see, in one short hour, decayed
The hope of future years ;
To feel how vain a f.ther's prayers,
Bow vain a-mr,ther's teals ;
To think the cold grave now must close-
O'er what was, once, the chief
Cf all the treasured joys of earth,—
This is a mother's grief!
Yet, when the first wild throb is past
Of anguish and despair,
To lift the eye of faith to heaven,
And think, my child is there ;'—
This best can dry the gushing tears,
Tins yields the heart relief ;
Until the Christian's pious hope
O'ercomes a mother's grief ! ,

HAI:nu:TT Wir.sox.—This fair Epistolist, it
Seems, continues her applications to all who come
within the circle of her notice. Nor are her
epistolary intimations confined to time or place.
Recently, it appears, she has announced her in-
tention to skew up, his it is termed, the Bright
side of a Somersetshire Gentleman, who however
is said to bid defiance to her ingenious exhi-
bitions.

SHE FFI ELD.—The Sheffield Mercury of Satur-
day last says—" It might he deemed a derelic-
tion of duty were we not to call the attention of
our townsme* to the exertions which are now
being made to procure the return of a person for
this large and populous county, at the next elec-
tion, who is an avowed friend to Protestant As-
cendancy and of Anti-Catholic principles. We
do hope that the friends of Protestantism, in this
town will co-operate with these of Leeds, Wake-
field, &c. in an endeavour to preserve the rights
and privileges of which they are in possession ;
but which may, if not properly guarded, be sa-
crificed at the shrine of a Church whose profess-
ed principle and creed are the extermination of
the Protestant Church and faith."

information was received yesterday, at Union-
Hall, of a dating burglary, in the house of Mr.
CREAK, pawnbroker, George-street, Dockhead,
early on Wednesday morning. The booty con-
sisted of about 80 gold rings, 30 watches, and
a number of other gold and silver articles.—
Every exertion is making to discover the per-
petrators of this extensive depredation, hitherto
without SUCCPSS.

An extensive and ingenious robbery was yes-
terday committed on the premises of Mr. Bug-
BRIDGE, Southwark-bridge-road. The thieves
succeeded in securing a quantity of plate, and
many other articles of value.

AN IMPUDENT VAGRANT.-At Hatton-garden,
this morning, a sturdy-beggar was charged by a
gentleman with asking alms of a lady in C ray's-
Inn, and on a non-compliance with his demand,
assaulting her. Ile was committed to the tread-
mill for three [months.

DETECTION OF lIOItSETESALERS' DEPOTS.---A
clue has at length been obtained, which it is con-
fidently expected will lead to the discovery of a
set of persons who have for some time afforded
the horsestealers a ready disposal of stolen cattle.
The business is entrusted to an active party of
the police.

ANECDOTES, &c.

BRAvrity.--When Captain HORATIO SEY-
MOUR, son of the late Admiral Sir HUGH SET..
310 U R, and brother to the present Lord SEYMOUR,
served under Lord WELLINGTON in the Penin-
sula, he at the head of only twelve men on a
foraging or reconnoitering party was intercepted
by a body- of 300 French ; undaunted, though
s,.srprised, be addressed his small troops in the
following laconic manner :—My lads, you see we
are intercepted, but have made up my mind
never to be taken prisoner, what say you, will
you follow me ? The reply was, we will follow
you any where. Then said he (pointing to the
enen,y) we must cut our way back again,
and if any of you reach the British camp
viithout use, tell them where I fell ; upon
which, setting spurs to their horses, " With
souls in arms and eager for the fray," they,
with the loss of only one man, reached the
camp. But it should be observed, that the
French Commanding Officer, astonished and ad-
miring the desperate valour of the 13 heroes,
ordered his ranks to open, and permit them to
pass. nis Majesty's approbation and friendship
are proofs that his bravery was equally appre-
dated on his arrival in England.

SOCRATES being- very old, and afflicted, was
asked by some one how he did, " Well !" he re-
plied, " either way ; if I recover," said he, " I
shall he envied by many. If I die, I shall be
praised by many."

Sir F luxe's B. DELAVA r. havinz married an ex-
tremely ugly Indy, though very rich, was asked
by his friends how he could think of marrying
so ordinary a woman, " Look ye" said he,
" I bought her by weight, and paid nothing
for her."

I\IUSICAL ComeosEgs.—The oldest of the mu-
sical composers who are now the most fashionable
in Europe, is not forty years of age. These three
composers are Rossini, Von Weber, and Meyer-
beer. Meyerheer is a Prussian, author of the
music of 11 Crociato in E zits'° ; he is not a
.com-
poser by profession, but a young amateur from
Berlin, who is possessed, it is said, of an animal
income of fifty thousand francs.

ANECDOTE OF PETER THE Glt EAT OF ROMA
—Miss II A IiBLETON,a Maid of Honour to the Em.
press Catherine, had an amour, which at different
Limes produced three children. She had al.

ways pleaded sickness ; hut Peter, being suspi-
cious, ordered his Physician to attend her, who
soon made the discovery. It appeared that a
sense of shame bad triumphed over her huma-
nity, and that the children had been put to death
as, soon as born. Peter inquired if the father of
them was privy to the murder. The lady insisted
that he was innocent, for she had always de-
ceived him by pretending that they were sent to
nurse. Justice now called upon the Emperor to
punish the offence. The lady was much beloved
by the Empress, who pleaded for her; the amour
was pardonable, but not the murder. Peter sent
her to the castle, and went himself to visit her,
and she having confessed the crime laid to her
charge, with great feeling he pointed out to her
that his duty as Prince, and God's Vicege.
rent, called on him for that justice which
her crime had rendered indispensably necessary,
and that she must therefore prepare for death.
Jte attended her also on the scaffold, when he
embraced her with the utmost tenderness, mixed
with sorrow ; and when the head was struck off,
he took it up by the hair, whilst the lips were
still trembling, and kissed them : a circumstance
of en extraordinary nature,and yet not incredible,
considering the peculiarities of his character.

OLD WEwiTzca. was joking and laughing at
rehearsal, instead of minding the business of the
scene. Raymond, who was then Stage-manager,
took him to task for this, and said, " Come, Mr.
Wewitzer, I wish you would pay a little atten-
tion."—‘6 Well, Sir," answered Wewitzer, "so
I am—l'm paying as little as I can."

SHERIDAN and DELPINI fell into high words
relative to an arrear of salary due to the latter ns
Man Friday, in the Robinson Crusoc of the
former. Sheridan, provoked at what he deemed
the insolence of the pantomimist, told him that
he had forgotten his station. " No, indeed,
Monsieur Sheridan, I have not," retorted Del-
pini, 66 I know the difference between us per-
fectly well. In birth, parentage, and education,
you are superior to me ; but in life, character,
and b►rhaviour,l am superior to you!"

THE GENTEEL BUTCHER.—In the Bristol mar-
ket, a lady, laying her hand upon a joint of
veal, said, " I think Mr. F. this veal is not quite
so white as usual." " Put on your glove, madam,"
replied the dealer, " and you will think dif-
ferently." It may be needless to remark, that
the veal n as ordered home without another word
of objection.

SIR JAMES MELVIL gives the following ludi-
crous account of his shipwreck on the coast of Ireland, when,
in his youth, he was sailing to France with the Bishop of Va-
lence (who seems to have been an amorous fellow), then on
his return from Scotland, where he had been the French Am-
bassador :—" The next morning Odocart came there, and con-
voyed us to his house, which was a great dark Tower, where
we had cold chear, as herring and bisket, for it was Lent.
There finding two English Gray Friars who had fled out of
England (for Edward VI. was yet alive), the said Friars per-
ceiving the Bishop to look very kindly to Odocart's daughter,
who fled from him continually, they brought to him a woman
who spoke English to lie with him. Which harlot being kept
quietly in his chamber, found a little glass within a case stand.
ing in a window, inr the coffers were all wet with the sea
waves that fell into the ship durng the storm. She believing
it had been ordained to be eaten, because it had an odoriferous
smell, therefore she licked it clean out, which put the Bishop
into such a rage, that he cried out for impatience, discovering
this harlotry, and his choler in such sort as the Friars fled,
and the woman followed. But the Irish men and his own
servants did laugh at the matter, for it was a viol of the most
pretious balm that grew in Egypt, which Solyman the Great
Turk had given in a present to the said Bishop, after he had
bcdn two years Ambassador for the King of France in Turkey,
and was esteemed worth 2,000 crowns. In the time that we
remained at Odocart's house, his young daughter who fled from
the Bishop, came and sought me, where-ever I was, and brought
a priest with her who could speak English, and offered, if I
would marry her, to go with me where-ever I pleased. I gave
her thanks, hut told her that I was but young, and had no
estate, and was bound for France. Now the Ambassadour
met in a secret part with Oneel and his associates, and heard
their offers and overtures. And the Patriarch of Ireland did
meet him there, who was a Scotchman born, called Wachop,
and was blind of both his eyes, and yet had been divers times
at Rome by post. Ile did great honour to the Ambassadour,
and conveyed him to see St. Patrick's purgatory, which is like
an old coal-pit which had taken fire by reason of the smoke
that came out of the hole."
