THE THEATRE.—The School for Scandal again
introduced Miss GRIMANI to the public in Lady
Teazle, last night, at Drury-Lane Theatre.--
She has evidently surmounted her terrors,
and manifested more self-possession, by the
general spirit of her performance. When her
voice is more familiar to the public ear, or she
adapts• it more suitably to the size of the theatre,
she will be found a very' respectable addition to
the dramatic corps.

•
Miss DANCE has been performing during the
present week at Bath. She has appeared in
Juliet and Mrs. Haller, and in-both was received
with great applause.
A Journal painted at Geneva thus announces a very inte-
resting invention ;—A PRESS FOOL THE BLIND.—A Lady de-
prived of sight from her birth, but distinguished for her wit,
her talents, and good temper, conceived that it might be
possible to communicate her thoughts to her family and
friends by means of printing, if some skilful mechanic
would invent for her a press, and give her, the necessary in-
structions to make use of it—the application and patience for
its accomplishment becoming afterwards entirely her own.—
She addressed herself to, our. countryman, Monsieur Fran-
cois Huber-, the celebrated historian of the Bees, to whom
she had the advantage of, being related ; in addition to which,
a community of misfortune (for he also is blind) increased
the interest he had in gratifying her request : There-
upbn his own genius,, and also that of his servant, Claude
Lechet—a man endowed with the highest degree of natural
talent for mechanics, were strongly excited. They went to
work, and the press was invented ; and being finished by
Claude, he sent with it a collection of type to the amiable
suggester of the plan, who soon made herself mistress most
completely of this invaluable means of communicating her
ideas. We have seen a letter of 33 lines addressed to her
happy benefactor, composed and printid by herself with com-
mon ink, without a literal error, or a single typographical ir-
regularity.",—(From the Courier de Londres of Ain:ils2 1822.)

POETRY.

WRITTEN IN THE COUNTRY.

Novistine locum potiorem rare beato.—lloa. Ep. 10.
The gentle pulse, the placid mien,
Are his, who loves the rural scene,
The open lawn, the shelter'd cot ;
He, seated, by some shaded rill,
The world forgets; and blesses still
His humble yet contented lot.

Whom Avarice lures to remain
In noisy towns for sordid gain.
To him are dear the city's smoke,
The city feast, the city joke,
The Lord Mayor's golden chain ;
The Blackbird's whistle in the bush,
The-various descant of the Thrush,
To him are sounds less sweet,

Than when his guineas, in a row,
Load thc; deep draw'r in splendid show,
And jingle as they meet.
Be his the pride and joys of wealth ;
Be mine the gifts of peace and health ;

The rural scenes confin'd :
The gale that from the mountain blows
Plants in the faded cheek the rose,
And heart's ease in the mind.

STEEPLE CHACE.—The sweepstakes match of 20 guineas
each, between Mr. Coxhead, Captain N. Peters, and Mr. Roe-
bottom, took place yesterday morning. The start was from
Frimley furzes, near Blackwater, to Arborfield, Berks. The
race for the first five miles was over heath, and the horsemen
kept the steady cuts until they came to Topham cover, when
they separated, and pursued their own course through a woody
country. They left the ridge of Golden Farmer-hill to the
left, and were within sight of each other again on Shinfield
Common, when Mr. Coxhead made all play, and reached Ar-
borfield church-yard in one hour and three minutes, a distance
of 18 miles in a straight direction. Captain Peters lost by six
minutes, and Mr. Roebottom's horse fell, and he was thrown
out altogether.

MATCH TO COVENTRY.—:-Mr. Courtenay, a farmer, un-
dertook, on Tuesday, to start to Coventry, from Mile-end New
Town, near Bow, and return in three days. The distance is
188 miles from the place of starting, and time was backed at
two to one. He started at two o'clock in the morning, and was
at Dunstable at twelve o'clock, Stoney Stratford at four o'clock,
and passed through Towcester at dusk, and took two hours
rest, after accomplishing 70 miles at twelve o'clock. lie touch-
ed on Coventry at five o'clock on Wednesday morning, and did
30 miles on his return at two o'clock, and halted four hours,
and was lame at starting again, which increased, and he rel.c.'-
ed Dunstable at three o'clock on Thursday, and rested until
six. He had eight hours left to do 36 miles, and he resigned
the task.

We are happy to state, from an authority whi± may be con-
fided in, that there is no truth in the report that more of the
unfortunate smugglers, now in Maidstone Gaol, under a re-
prieve from sentence of death, are to suffer the extreme penalty
of the law, it being hoped that a sufficient example has already
been made to prevent the recurrence of those unlawful proceed-
ings of which they were convicted. Aire also understand that
the warrants which had been issued for the apprehension of the
remainder of the 53 persons who were present in the affray at
Marsh Bay, have been all withdrawn from the hands of those
appointed to execute them ; and upon the same principle as
above stated, no farther proceedings will be taken against any
of them for that offence. The statement of the death in gaol
of Joseph Gill, one of the above convicts, was erroneous.—
( Kentish Gazette, Aprill2.)
There are now living in the cottage of a labouring man,
named Richardson; near the Turnpike Gate, at Broomsgrove,
Worcestershire, four children, daughters of the above la-
bourer, named Maria, Mary, Sarah, and Eliza, all born at
one birth, and each three years old on the 23d 'of March last.
They' are in perfect health, and strong and hale in appearance,.
the mother of them having another infant at her breast.
Bnrcrirro N., APRIL 11.—A Coroner's Inquest Was:held to-
day on the remains of the unfortunate sufferers, Messrs. Briggs
and Knowles, whose dreadful and fatal accident we mentioned
yestgrday. 'Nothing could !be materially ascertained beyond
our report of the distressing occurrence yesterday.—Verdict,
" Accidental Death."—Mr. Briggs was one of our local body
of Commissioners. His remains were removed hither in a
hearse to-day. - _ , _ -

ROBBERY AT LORD BERWlCK'S.—Yesterday morning,
while the servants were engaged at their work, a thief catered
the house of Lord BERWICK, in Grosvenor-square, and suc-
ceeded in carrying away nine handsomely-chased silver,wine
ladles. Information was immediately laid at Marlborough-
street Police-office, with a description of the property, in order
that the Officers might make proper inquiry.
SlPlClDE.—Thursday morning the chief mate of an East
lndianyan lying in the City Canal at Poplar, put a period to
his existence by cutting his throat with a razor on board the
ship.

I)EATH BY A BULL.--On the 27th' nit., John
Gill, of Kaber, near Kirkoswald, Cumberland, went to the
cow-yard to let out a bull of the short-borned breed, as was his
custom ; hitherto the animal had been perfectly harmless, but
on this occasion he stepped back a few yards, and then rushed
upon his master with all the ferocity which thede creatures are
known to possess when irritated; his master fell before him, and
the savage beast began to gore him dreadfully. Gill's wife,
hearing an unusual bellow from the bull, ran out, and saw her
husband gored by the savage animaL In the horror of the mo-
ment she rushed in, took up her husband, and carried him into
the house, the bull standing motionless : as if stricken with his
work of destruction, he suffered her to depart without molesta-
tion. She passed a gate in going into the house, with her almost
lifeless husband, and when she had reached the door, the bull
darted forth, and in the fury of his passion completely demolish.
ed the gate. , On surgical aid being procured, it was forind
that the whole, of the unfortunate man's ribs on' one side were
broken in, as also his breast bone, and one of his eyes com-
pletely gored out. After lingering nine days in great agony,
he breathed his last.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH—(Tins DAY.)

Before Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT, and a Special Airy.
CONSTITUTIONAL ASSOCIATION.

THE KING V. SIR JOHN SEWELL, C. MURRAY, L. CLARK,

AND J. B. SHARPE.
On the CHIEF JUSTICE taking his seat, the
above cause was called on.--The Counsell'or
the prosecution were Messrs. SCARLETT, DEN-
MAN, and EVANS ; for the defendants, Messrs.
GURNEY, TINDALL, and A DOLPHUS.-The in-
dictment was read by Mr. EvANs, charging the
defendants with conspiracy and extortion, and
also with administering unlawful oaths, &c.
Mr. SCARLETT then proceeded to address the
Jury. The Learned Counsel stated, that the
prosecutors in this case were as hostile to the
publications of libels as the best subjects of the
realm should be; he then proceeded,to designate
the defendants as being the President, the At-
torney, the Secretary, and the other defendant,
L. Clark, as being present at one of the
acts of conspiracy, when money was extorted,
the most prominent of which, among others, were
from a Mr. Atkinson, bookseller, in St. George's-
fivlds, who compounded with Murray, for the
purpose of not having au indictment against
him; the other, of Mr. Wardell, the Editor of the
Statesman newspaper, who paid two sums of
money, one of 301. and the other of 271., to in-
duce the Society to forego a prosecution on two
indictments for alleged libels. Others had re-
fused ; amongst them were Mr. Dolby, Mr.
Thelwall, &c. The Learned Counsel, in an
address, of which the above is but an outline,
and which occupied near two hours, concluded
by calling the attention of the Jury to the dan-
ger of the existence of such a society, the object
of putting down which was the intent of the pre-
sent indictment.

The first witness was Mr. William Atkinson,
bookseller in the London-road, St. George's-
fields, who was under examination when our
Paper went to press.—The trial will occupy the
whole of the day.
