RICHMOND, SEPT. 10.—This delightful little spot is at pre-
sent the centre of attraction.fQr many of our most distinguished
fashionables. In addition to the rural beauties that at each
view wesent a new and beautifully varied prospect, the Thames
and its surrounding scenery forms a coop d'cril that at once
delights and astonishes the spectator. The amusements in the
town are certainly not numerous or general • but the Theatre
affords ample entertainment. KLANERT,. the spirited Mana-
ger, has procured this season a Company of extraordinary merit
who have all been well received by the town. On Wednesday'
last the Performances, by desire, and under the patronage
of, Lady DUNDAS and J. DAWKINs, Esq. attracted an elegant
and overflowing audience, to witness that forcible and elegant
production " The Provoked Husband,"—perhaps the best
Comedy this or any country can bOast. The whole of the cha-
tact2.rs w,re well supported.—Mrs. KLANERT is a complete
fae-sintile of Jenny Wronghead ; and Miss SYDNEY and Mr.
KLANERT, in Lady and Lord Townley, gave faithful repre-
sentations of the gay and youthful votary of fashion
.and the
judicious sober-minded husband, who, desirous to reclaim,
never, by unnecessary\harshness, wounded severely the feelings
of the woman whom he tenderly loved. The entertainment of
the evening concluded with the humorous farce of Monsieur
Tonson. Among the company we noticed—Lord and Lady
Courtown, Lord Stopford, Lady Stuart, Sir David, Lady, and
Miss Dundas, Lady Campbell and family, Sir Geo. and Lady
Pocock, Lady and the Misses Price, Miss Dawkins, Miss
Durrell and the Misses Nightingall, Capt. Mangin, R.N., and
family, Rev. Mr. Sandpit and faMily, the Misses Jeffreys, &c.
NORTHUMBERLAND HOUSE.—The front of the ancient
palace now attracts the eye of the numerous passengers. The
architectural ornaments are restored to the original appearance,
and the majestic lion on the summit of the building is made
more striking than usual.
The works in St. James's Park, fronting Buckingham-
house, connected with the grand sewer which crosses the Park
from Piccadilly, are rapidly proceediing. The sewer is to be
formed several feet lower than the old sewer. The Green Park
is cut up in promotion of the work. .
Among other distinguished fashionables at the Earl of Es-
sex's seat, Cashiobury Park, are. Lady and Miss Cornwall,
Lady and Miss De Roos, Mr. De Roos, and Arthur Capel, E 9.
Since the King's departure from Edinburgh, the Earl of Fite
has been entertaining a distinguished party with the diversion
of grouse-shooting, &c. at his sporting seat in Mar Forest. The
following are among the number, viz. the Marquis of Graham,
Field Marshal Lord Beresford, Lord Elcho, Sir William
Elliott, Bart., Admiral Sir John Beresford, the Hon. General
Duff, &c.

NEW MARRIAGE ACT.—Doubts having existed
as to whether the affidavits required by this Act previous to the
publication of banns, should be drawn up on stamped paper,
application has been made to the Commissioners at Somerset
House, on the subject, and the following is a copy of the reply:
Stamp-office, London, Sept. 14, 1822.
Sin—l am directed by the Commissioners to inform you, in
answer to your letter of the 12th instant, that by the Act of the
55th Geo. 111. cap. 134, Affidavits sworn before a Magistrate
arc exempted from the StaMp Duty ; but Marriage Affidavits,
sworn before a Clergyman not bein.i. a Magistrate, must be
drawn out upon a Two Shilling and Sixpenny Stamp.
I am, Sir, your most obedient Servant,
WM. KAPPEN, Secretary.

Mr. BENJAMIN CONSTANT is a very cunning
as well as a very troubleyome character. This
artful Swiss 'passed safely through the Revolu-
tion, and the Despotism of BUONAPAItTE, but he
will probably meet with his deserts at last.
THE THEATRE.—A new comic piece of one
act was brought forward last night at the flay-
market Theatre under the title of Intrigue. The
plot consists of the attempts of two Libertines,
one openly tisipated and the other hypocritically
moral, to seduce the wife of the Landlord of an
Inn. The husband is jealous but the wife is virtuous,
and in the end baffles the hopes of both the gallants,
who had laid a wager against each other on their
respective success, and the money deposited in
the hands of the Landlord is eventually given
to him as an atonement for the attempt. The
Landlord and his wife were performed by Mr.
and Mrs. H. BAKER, from the Country. They
are both spirited performers, and were well re-
ceived, as was also the piece itself. The second
Drama was Morning, Noon, and Night, and the
last The Jew and the Doctor, and the whole was
much applauded by a very numerous audience.

MISS PAroN, who has so successfully displayed
her talents at the Haymarket Theatre this
season, is it seems. going to perform _NUB, in
The Beggar's Opera. If she should be as suc-
cessful in parts of simplicity and pathos as she is
in characters of a lively description, she will
manifest extraordinary versatility. A new Mac-
heath, we find, is to appear on the occasion.
RUBENS'S celebrated portrait of a Lady, which
is known by the name of Le, Chapeau de Paille,
recently purchased in Holland for 20001. and
brought to this country, now forms an additional
gem of art in his MAJESTY'S Collection of the
works of the old masters.

Two monuments voted by Parliament to Ge-
neral, FOO ft D BOWES and Colonel CADOGAN,
have lately been erected in St. Paul's, the exe-
cution and design of which reflect high credit on
the taste of Mr. CH ANTREY.

DUEL.—A duel was fought yesterday morn-
ing on Hounslow-heath, between a Mr. MON.
TAGUE and Lieutenant GRANT. A dispute ori-
ginated respecting a bet at Egham Race-course,
when some horse whipping took place. Two
shots were exchanged, by the second of which
Mr. 'MONTAGUE was slightly wounded in the
shoulder, and the affair terminated.
AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 12.-;.-On Sept. 7, a bottle came on
shore in the Commune of Zandvoort. It contained the follow-
ing notice :—" The ship Elizabeth Cornelia, commanded by
Capt. Boss, offlleachy Head, in a good condition; all the pas-
sengers well. August 23, 1822."
At Egmond-aan-Zee a bottle was also thrown ashore, con-
taining a paper with the following words :—" Please to take
notice that this empty' bottle, with the enclosur'e in it, was put in
the sea, off the old Head of Kinsale, on the 22d of June, 1822,
and whosoever finds it is particularly requested to publish where
it was picked up in the newspapers. J. O'CONNOR."
(Rotterdam:die Courant.)
This letter proves itself to be Irish.

POETItY.

PARTED LOVE.
" Thou wert too•like a dream of heaven
For earthly love to merit thee."
We parted, and we knew it was for ever—
We knew, it, yet we parted : then each thought
And inmost feeling of our souls, which never
Had else been breaded in words, rush'd forth and sought
Their sweet home in each other's hearts, and there
They lived and grew 'mid sadness and despair.
It was not with the bonds of common love

Our hearts were knit together ; they had been
Silent companions in those griefs which move
And purify the soul, and we had seen
Each other's strength and truth of mind, and hence
We loved with passion's holiest confidence.
And virtue was the great bond that united
Our guileless hope in love'Esimplicity ;
And in those higher aims we meekly slighted
The shallow feelings and weak vanity
Which the world calls affection, for'our eyes
Had not been caught with smiles, our hearts with sighs.
We parted (as our hearts had loved) in duty
To Heaven and virtue, and we both resign'd
Our cherish'd trust—l all her worth and beauty,
And she th' untold devotion of my mind.
We parted in mute anguish, but we bent
Lowly to Him whose love is chastisement..
It was, perchance, her spirit had been goaded
With suffering past its bearing—that her fail
But patient heart had been so deeply loaded
With sorrow that its chords were forced to frail :
Sever'd by more than distance, I was told
Her heart amid its troubles had grown cold.
She rests in Heaven, and I—l could not follow;
My soul was crush'd, not broken : and I live
To think of all her love; and feel how hollow

Are the sick gladnesses the world can give.
I lire in faith and holy calm to prove
My heart was not unworthy of such love.

MONUMENT TO THE PRETENDER.

In the vale of Glenfinnyn, at the head of Lochshiel, Inver-
ness-shire, a handsome monument has recently been erected,
with an inscription in Latin, Gaelic, and English. The fol-
lowing is the English one :
On the spot where
PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD
First raised his Standard,
On the 19th of August lupcxxLv.
When he made the daring and romantic attempt
To recover a Throne lost by the Imprudence of his.
Ancestors,
This column was erected by
' ALEXANDER MACDONALD, .Lsq. of
Glenaladale,
To commemorate the generous zeal,
The undaunted bravery, and the inviolable fidelity,
Of his forefathers, and the rest of those
• Who fought and bled in that
•
Arduous and unfortunate enterprise,
•
This Pillar is now,
Alas !
Also become the Monument
Of its amiable and accomplished Founder,
Who,
Before it was finished,
Died in Edinburgh on the 4th day of January
MDCCCXV.
At the early age of 28 years. ,

DEPTFORD-YARD.—The Establishment of artificers, &c.,
now upwards of 1,000 men, are to be reduced to 499, by dis-
charging 35 every fortnight ; all the other dock-yards are to be
reduced nearly in the same proportion. A considerable num-
ber of clerks and inferior officers will likewise be dismissed with
small pensions. Mr. WEDDELL, Clerk of the Check of Sheer-
ness-yard, is appointed to Deptford, rice Mr. MossE, and Mr.
POWNELL goes to Sheerness. Mr. HAwaEs, Assistant to the
Master Shipwright at Deptford, goes to Chatham, vice
HILLIER. Mr. SMITH, Clerk of the Check at Chatham, vice
GAINER, superannuated.
„ BURSTING OF A STEAM ENOINE.—The following
are further particulars from a Morning Paper :
" Tuesday afternoon, about five o'clock, the inhabitants of
the village of Camberwell were thrown into great consternation
by a shock so tremendous that it broke the glass in many houses,
and was by many considered as a volcanic eruption until the
real cause was discovered. It seems however that it resulted
from the baneful practice of using high' pressure steam
engines, which has been so frequently reprobated. One of
these engines was erected at the new glue manufactory of
Messrs. Cleaver and Yardly, on the banks of the Surrey canal,
at the back of Albany-road ; and when at 44 degrees it burst,
causing a terrific explosion ! The whole north wing of the
building was blown down by the shock, every one of the work-
men received dreadful fractures, and two were killed on the
spot.—The boiler washurled some score yards into the air, and fell
on the roof of the South end of the premises, which it drove in
with great violence, and did great damage. When the extent
of the calamity could be known with any degree of certainty,
workmen were set to dig with the utmost promptitude ; the ruins
having rather scattered than fallen in a mass was favourable,
and several bodies were soon got out. They were carried to
the Albany Arms,' where they received medical assistance im-
mediately, and 13 persons were sent to the Borough Hospitals ;
two were dead, and we understand at a late hour three more
had died of their wounds in the course of yesterday after-
noon. It is reported that one of the principals received danger-
ous injury, and that two children who had been. playing by
the side of the canal, are still in the ruins ; but we could not
trace the rumour to any correct source during the whole of yes-
terday. The loss of property is stated to be immense."
TILE LUXURY OF PARSIMONY.—A person of
rather singular habits, well known by the name of Dirky
WI!-
lan, has been in the neighbourhood of Witherslack for some
years, and is at present lodging at Matthew 3lartindales,
of Ulpha, reaping corn for James Thomlinson. He regu-
larly reaps, binds, and shocks, between thirty-five and forty
hattocks per day ; and, what is still more remarkable, he
lives upon nothing but meal and water. He takes with
him to the field a small bag of oatmeal, and a tin
can ; and when hungry, he repairs to the nearest pool or
ditch, and then he revels in luxury over a new made can
of crowds/. About three years ago he reaped for Mr. IV. Stock-
-dale, of Witherslack-hall, 42 or 43 hattocks per day ; his:diet
meal and water, his bed the hay-mow. It is certainly worthy
of notice, that when this singular being has earned five or
ten pounds, he resorts to some public-house, and then makes
merry with his neighbours till all is expended. It is not un-
common at these times to see a bottle of gin, a bottle of rum,
and a bottle of brandy, all on the table at once, and the little
man urging his companions to drink. When these revels are
over, he returns peaceably to his labour, living upon meal and
water, and sleeping in out-houses, till his purse is again reple-
nished..—( TVestmoreland Gazette.) , _ _

On Tuesday se'nnight some fishermen belong,
ing to the port of Ipswich, who were trawling for seals near the
mouth of the harbour, caught that singular fish the S'yealcs Sync-
line, of Linnteus, the Angel Shark or Angel Fish of Pennant :
this name it has acquired from its rounded head and large sub_
quadrangular, pectoral, and ventral fins, which bear a fanciful
resemblance to wings. It differs from others of the same genus, in
having the mouth situated at the end of the head, other sharks
having it on the under side: it has generally five rows of teeth,
but the present, being a young fish, had attained only three,
but rudiments of the others were visible—it has five spiracles on
each side of the neck, and two spouting holes placed behind the
eyes. The tongue is large and triangular, the nostrils bearded,
the eyes small, and of a pale bright green ; the dorsal fins small,
and placed near the tail ; the body somewhat thick, but taper.
ing; the under side remarkably flat, by which circumstance it is
enabled to pursue its prey, which chiefly. consists of flat fish. I t
is a native of the European Seas, and is reported to be fierce
and dangerous. It was ,with difficulty that the fishermen
secured the fish in question, and one of them had his finger
severely bitten. The ,fish, when alive, had the under side
of a silvery whiteness, the upper of a rich brown, beautifully
variegated with darker coloured. spots; when dead, it was of a
pale ashy brown, and the spots had entirely disappeared : the
length was four feet six inches (full grown specimens attain to
eight feet or more) the breadth across tine pectoral fins was two
feet eight inches—it weighed 891bs.—(Bury Gazette.)
Yesterday morning a match took place in St. James's
Park, between a baker and broker, for a bet of 20 sovereigns,
who would run three miles in half an hour, and pick up the
most stones or pebbles and deposit them in a basket to be
carried by each. Having met upon the ground, a furlong
was measured, and the quantity of pebbles required were
placed at a reasonable distance asunder, 'but set closer as
the person got hot. The baker picked up 260 in the given
time. The broker then set to work, and in ten minutes under
the given time picked up sixty-six. It was then held that
he I;tid won- the wager, and he left off, but upon their
returning home, the baker refused giving up the stakes, as he
had not walked the required distance as at first agreed upon ;
now it is doubtful who is entitled to the stakes, as neither
party had run the required distance in the prescribed time.—
The persons employed as umpires cannot decide, and unless
the matter is submitted to arbitration, the match must. be rim
again.
