THE THEATRES.

DRURY-LANE.—The same eagerness of public
curiosity prevailed again last night to witness the
Othello of Mr. KEAN, and the lago of Mr. YOUNG.
They both support the characters with more
success than could be expected from the na-
ture of their respective talents and qualities.—
We agree, however, with some of our Cri-
tical Rivals, and with many judicious friends
in private, that they are both better calcu-
lated to appear with more advantage in a
change of characters. Besides, the person of Mr.
'YOUNG is better formed to give efficiency to
Othello's menaces, and the sharp and shrewd
manner of Mr. KEAN is more adapted to the part
of lago. The house was throughout crowded at
an early period.
COTENTGARDEN.—The attraction of Romeo
and Juliet, one of our best Poet's best works, was
again unabated last night, and Mr. C. KEMBLE
and Miss F. 11. KELLY were again rewarded with
well merited applause.

Miss F. H. KELLY made her first debut on the
stage at Cheltenham, three seasons ago, in the
character of Amanthis, in the Child of Nature,
and afterwards played Belvidcra with success.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT:

This morning the Court was crowded to excess by a number
of persons, this day being appointed for the re-hearing the case
of the soi disantc Princess of Cumberland. The Lady, how-
ever, from reasons best understood by herself, did not make
her appearance, neither has the document been brought for-
ward, nor the cxpences of the last hearing before the Court
been paid; and it is understood that until the document and
the expences incurred are-settled the case must stand over. It
is said that the authenticity of the document is questioned,
which seemed to be the chief cause of the postponement.

We understand that Pall-mall East will be
carried to St. Martin's Ciiurch by the autumn of the present
year. All persons possessing apartbients in the King's Mews,
or in line with the intended improVements, are to remove in
the course of the present week.

MURDER OF AIRS. DONATTY►

Bow-STREET)—Saturday, at two o'clock, the investigation
of this affair was resumed by Mr. 31INsniFIL in the private
loom. Nothing further transpired to corroborate the sus-
picions which had led to the apprehension of the parties in
custody. 51r. MINSIIULI. asked Askew if he wished to say
any thing ?
Askew—" I have only this to say, Sir, that I am perfectly
innocent of this dreadful crime. I never was a thief or a mur-
derer, though I have been very poor. I have been in my
master's house, where there has been a thousand pounds worth
of property, and never touched a thing."
Mr. Gou,rb 9 li his former employer, said he believed him to be
a very honest man.

Alf ihCTprisoner; were then brought in, and Mr. Mims,xurit.
addressing them, said he wished he could consistently with his
duty discharge them, but at present he could not. A most
horrid and barbarous murder had been committed, and it was
absolutely necessary for the public safety that the investigntioa
should be conducted with extreme vigilance, and even perhaps
with some degree of severity to the persons accused. He must
keep them, therefore, for the present, hut he would endeavour
to free them as much as possible from personal inconvenience
or suffering.
T o x-Gann El; .—At eleven o'clock on Saturday forenotin
William Gregory was put publicly to the bar, for the purpose
of his being identified, if possible, by Mrs. Robinson, who had
observed a man loitering about Mrs. Ponatty's door the night
of the murder. 'Mrs. Robinson could not say that the prisoner
was the, individual, and his further examination was not
entered into until half-past two o'clock. , At that hour
Mr. Commons, of the public-house next door to that of the
deceased, and other witnesses, were ,examined as to the
prisoner's being the
.individual seen in Robert-stieet, but
none of them could speak to his person.—Mary and Elizabeth
Brown were also examined, and witnesses brought forward re-
specting them, but nothing of a criminal nature appeared to' be
made out against them ; and as thelthree prisoners most satis-
factorily accounted for themselves during the night upon which
Mrs. Donatty was Murdered, they were discharged before eight
o'clock.

KING'S THEATRE.—This place was the high
mart of fashion on Saturday. II Turco in Dalica
was the opera, and Nina the last ballet. There
was a very numerous audience, among whom
were the Duke of SussE:e, and the Duchesses of
GLOUCESTER and KENT, &C. &C.
VAUXHALL GARDENS will assume quite a new
feature under the new management. Ten thou-
sand pounds are to be expended in improiements

COUNTRY MARKETS AND FAIRS,
DURING THE LAST WEEK.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, March 19.
We were abundantly supplied during the week with all de-
scriptions of Grain. The greatest bulk conies from Ireland
very few dealers from the country attended the market, and
the only vent to-day was to the town's dealers, who buy with
no spirit. Fine Wheat supported its price; the middling and
inferior sorts remain in as depressed a state as ever. For
Barley or Malt there is little or no demand. There were in-
quirers fo'r Oats; the stock here is not heavy ; very few were
sold, and those at no advance in price. American Sweet
Flour, in bond, is in good demand, at an advance of Is per
barrel. No alteration in Beans or Oatmeal.

Parliament, tor the purpose of considering. what measures it-
may be advisable to adopt in order to obtain the benefit of his

LAW iI.TEi,EAGENC:

. COURT OF KING'S BENCH (THIS am)
This morning on Mr. Justice BAILEY taking
his seats the Grand Jury for the County was ,
sworn in. His Lordship was not aware of the.
proCeecling-g in any of the cases that might be
laid before them ; there Was, hOweier, one cir-
ctimstanceiblatite to the offence of tiaisdenieaitour,;
to which he Wiitild advert, namely, the publisl.l-
- of ex fitfrte fitatenients of the proCeeditig,i
before Coroners' Inquests. The Learned Judge.,
mentioned this to prevent the occurrence of such
practices in future, it having a tenFten4 to in-,
jure the accused party, attd in his opinion was
at law a niisderneanOr.

The Grand Jury 'haVing 'Withdrawn, Wm.
illizrsden was brought up to plead to. an'infortna-:
tion tiled by the King's Attorney General, for
conspiring, with others, to remove "a quantity of
nux vemica, to the injury and prejudice of our.
Sovereign Lord the King; he pleaded tiot Guilty,'
and will be tried at the Sittings after Term.
John Smith was brought tip also to plead to art
indictment, charging him with conspiracy with in-
tent to commit a fraud. He likewise pleaded
Not Guilty.

lAEWIS V. WALTERS AND OTIIEIIS.--This was
an action to recover a compensation in damages
for an alleged libel in The Times newspaper, of
which the defendants are the proprietors. The
imputed libel was contained in a report of a speech
delivered by Mr. Serjearit Onslow at the Kin-
ston Assizes, imputing a want of fairness andt'
integrity in the exercise of his profession of an
Attorney.—The Plaintiff was non-suited.--The
SOLICITOR-GENERAL this day moved for and ob-
tained a rule to skew cause why a new triat
should not be grhnted.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, JAN. 24.
The adjourned debate on the proposed Jaw
respecting offences of the Press was resumed.

M. de Kergorlay spoke in favour of the law
project, and contended that it was more expe-
dient and constitutional to submit offences of the

Press to the cognizance of the Judges than to
Juries.

M. Hermann next rose and voted against the
proposed law, the real object of which was to
oppress thought, to enslave the mind, and to give
absolute impunity to the acts of the Administra-
tion.

General Donnadieu followed, and addressed
the Chamber at length in favour of the project.
The Minister of the Interior (M. de Col-Were)
also spoke in favour of the law; and their argu-
ments were opposed with great force and elo-

quence by 111.ilignon and M. d'Argenson, who
voted against it. The discussion was then
adjourned to the following day,w hen M. Chifflet,
the Reporter, will be heard in reply. The
louse will thenlproceed to the vote, and if the
project be carried, as amended by the Commit-
tee, of which no doubt is entertained, the Cham-
ber will immediately take the articles into consi-
deration seriatim.

VENICE, JAN. B.—(Extract of a Private Let-
ter.)—A vessel which left Missolonghi the 6th
(18th) December has brought word that Omar-
Vrione, Paella of Delvinon, who occupied the
citadel of Athens, has capitulated conjointly
with the Commandant of th Castle of Thebes,
on condition of a free passage to Janina. The
capitulation has been executed to the letter by
the Greek Chiefs, Ulysses (Odysseus) and Pal-
laseas, and the two Turkish Commandants have
arrived at Janina. The town of Athens was not
burnt by Omar-Vrione, as had been reported.

THE T ITEATRE3.

KING'S THEATitE.—The new Opera of Il Ba-
rone tli Dolsheim was successfully repeated on
.Saturday last. The music has merit, but is cer-
tainly not equal to what we have been accus-
tomed to hear at this theatre. It has, however,
been justly- observed, that it is well suited to the
respective powers of the vocal performers, and
therefore is very gratifying to the audience in
general. The Carnival de Venue was revived on
this oecasioa, and brought forward in a splendid
and interesting manner. A new dancer, MARIA
MERCANDOTTI. distinguished herself in this.
piece. She had, indeed, appeared before this
season, but not. with. such prominent effect ; and
she exerted herself with so much ease and grace,
and has besides so agreeable a person, that she
is likely to become a prime favourite. The rest
or the performances went off with the applause
of a numerous and brilliant audience.

DRUP.Y ANE.—The admirable tragedy of
Othello, one of the chief works of its unrivalled
author, presented Mr. KEAN on Saturday, for the
last time, in' the part of /ago, as announced in
the play-bills. We are surprized that he should
relinquish a part which he supports with so much
spirit. as we do not think his merit is equal in
Othello. But it is by no means an uncommon circum-
stance for actors and actresses to think themselves
best qualified for parts in which they like best to
appear. Mr. KEAN certainly enters into the na-
ture of Othello, and supports the character with
great feeling, :but Ingo is better calculated to
draw forth his peculiar style of acting, and he
acquitted himself on Saturday with characte-
ristic subtlety, and a gay and easy humour. Mr.
COOPER'S 011/CllO was highly respectable and very
iMpressive. Mrs. W. WEST gave a very affecting
interest td the gentle Desdemona.. There was a
numerous audience.

COVENT-GmtnEN.-- The alteration of 7'/ac
Tempest gave YOUNG an opportunity of display-
ing characteristic energy in Prospero, on Satur-
day, and enabled Miss M. 'TEE to appear again
as the best Ariel withi❑ our remembrance. Miss
STEmENs and Miss lIALLANDE, in Dorinda and
illiranda„‘yorp very agreeable representatives of
those characters, and the vocal performanCes of
all three were
,loudly and justly applauded.

BRITISH INSTITUTION.-011 Saturday last the
Gallery in Pall Mall, belonging to this Institu-
tion,'was opened for a private view of the Works
of Art which have been sent for public exhibition.
Many of these works have been peblicly seen
before, but they display so much merit as well
entitles them to repeated inspection. This Insti-
tution ought never to be noticed without a tri-
bute of high commendation for the laudable
principles of its foundation, and its beneficial
consequences in the general improvement of the
Arts of this Country. Many Artists of great
talents has its fostering protection raised from
obscurity and exalted into fame and fortune.—
But besides this advantageous influence in the'
general promotion of the Fine Arts of the Coun-
try, the Conductors have liberally encouraged
and stimulated Genius by purchasing works of
extraordinary merit, as permanent ornaments of
the Institution. We shall probably take some
notice of the works presented this year, that have
novelty as well as merit to recommend them to
public attention.

YOUNG WATSON.

[From the Glasgow Herald.l
In last April we inserted in this paper a letter
from Baltimore, stating that this young man had been found
guilty of burglary, and sentenced to death. This account pro-
duced a very affecting remonstrance from the elder Mr. Wat-
son, and we were certainly distressed at having been the means
of giving circulation to the statement. As the truth of it, how. •
ever, was questioned, we thought it necessary to call upon the
Gentleman in Baltimore to send us some authenticated docu-
ment which we might publish, in justice both to himself and
us. These documents we have accordingly received, and have
again, most reluctantly, to revert to the subject.
It appears that Watson had obtained a second trial at the
Circuit Court in Davidson's county, at which he was acquitted
of the capital offence, but found guilty of the lesser charge, and
sentenced accordingly.

Against this last finding and sentence Watson appealed to
the Court of Review at Nashville, and the papers now lying be-
fore us are the certified extracts from the records of that Court.

As it was from the result of the second trial that the appeal
was made, the proceedings at the first trial, in which Watson
was capitally convicted, did not come before the Court, and
consequently are not noticed in the extracts received ; but it
will not escape the reader that one of the reasons of appeal
from this second trial is, that 'Watson, at the time when the
sentence was pronounced, " was under the judgment of death
for a capital felony."

In the authenticated report of the second trial it was stated,
that when Watson was asked if he had any thing to say why
judgment should not proceed against him, he replied that he
had nothing but what he had before said. This must refer to
the powerful speech which he made upon the first trial.
We shall first insert the letter of the gentleman at Balti-
more, whose respectability we formerly vouched for, and then
sonic of the extracts, for they are too bulky to be given in
whole.

" Baltimore, August 3, 1822.
t' Annexed you have a copy of the last trial granted to young

Watson.

" It appears Watson was first convicted of burglary, and
sentenced to be hung; but a new trial being granted him (in
which the Jury not agreeing), he was discharged. He was,
however, found guilty of larceny, and sentenced to receive 20
lashes, as the copy of trial will testify.
" My motives being so grossly misrepresented by the father
of Watson, is the only thing that induces me to subject you to
this expence and trouble. I hope it will be entirely satisfac-
tory. Watson has never been able to make himself of any ge-
neral notoriety in this country; in fact, he is too contemptible
to be noticed in any way."

NAMIS OF STIMETS.

SHOREDITCH=CORNHILL—STRAND, &c.

The origin of the names of the differeni streets
in the metropolis, their ancient state, and the
historical illustrations by which the accounts of
many of them might be extended,it was the late
Lord Orford's opinion, would form the subject of
a very amusing work; and he mentions Les Anec-
dotes des rues de Paris, as a pattern for it. The
following slight notices of Shoreditch, Cornhill,
and the Strand, three of our most frequented
thoroughfares, are offered upon this idea.
London, England, 1822-09-14

SHOREDITCH.

The supposed derivation of the name of Shore-
ditch, from Jane Shore, the ill-fated mistress of
King Edward the Fourth, has its foundation from
the following stanzas of an old ballad, intitled
" The Woeful Lamentation of Jane Shore," .cc.
which was printed in Dr. Percy's Reliques of
Ancient English Poetry, from an old black let-
ter copy in the Pepysian Collection, at Cam-
bridge
I'm weary of my life, at length
I yielded up my vital strength,
Within a ditch of loathsome scent,
Where carrion dogs did much frequent,
The which now since my dying daye,
Is Shoreditch call'd, as authors say ;
'Which is a witness of my sinne,
For being concubine to a King.
This story has gained firm footing in the parish,
and is countenanced by the sign of a public
house, nearly opposite the Bell in Shoreditch,
called the Jane Shore, where there are in the
windows two small signs : the subject of the one
is this unhappy favourite in the height of her
splendour; the other represents her, when un-
friended and worn out of acquaintance, lying in a
forlorn state, and a baker relieving her necessities
with a small loaf, for which, according to the tra-
dition, he was afterwards hung, by order of Crook-
backed Richard, and the unfortunate fair one pe-
rished for want of food. By this public house is
also a small court, called CC Jane Shore Alley." The
song of Jane Shore, just quoted, somewhat varies
in relating this circumstance, and describes the
person who relieved her as a particular friend,
whose life she had saved, whilst in the meridian
of princely favour. Sir Thomas More's account
of her, in his Life of Richard the Third, totally
destroys this favourite story, and he was living
in her time. That historian, describing her,
says, " Proper she was and fair—nothing in her
bodie that you would have changed, but, if you
would, you would have wished her somewhat
higher : thus say they who knew her in her
youthe. Albeit some that now see her (for she
yet liveth) deem her never to have been well
visaged, for now she is old, lene, withered, and
dried up—nothing left but riguilde skin and hard
bone."

This place is supposed to be alluded to, in
the Vision of Piers Plowman, in the reign of
Edward 111., in these words
" To the sortry of Southwark, or of Short-ditch, Dame Eve."
It most likely received its nameafrom shore-
ditch (sewer ditch) ; whence also the name of
Sir John de Sordig, (anciently Lord of the manor
here.). It is called in old records, Sordig, Sor.
ditch, Shoresditch, and Shortditch.
London, England, 1822-09-14

We have authority to assert positively that
Mr. CANNING is appointed to succeed the late
Lord LONDONDERRY at the Foreign Office.
Mr. CANNING attended yesterday at the India
House, for the purpose, as it was understood,
of tendering his resignation of the appointment
of Governor General of India.

We received this morning: the Paris Papers of
Wednesday. They do not contain any news of
importance, and the most interesting articles will
be found under the head of " Foreign Intel-
