CESSES- honoured the Theatre with their presence,
to see the Comedy called The Dramatist, or, St°l
Him 'who Can; and the Entertainment of The Sul-

MARGATE, AUGVST f,

A new scene of amusement has opened heft',
which somewhat abates the ennui we feel at thc
want of that crowd and 'bustle, which we have
been used to at this time of the year. A public
Breakfast took place this week on the various.
Green of the Prospea Coffee-House. A Band a
Music was provided, and Country-Dance; commene
eed at twelve o'clock, and continued till near four.
The weather was favourable to.the Revellers, a"Ci
the people in general were very much diverted.--'
About one hundred and gity persons were presenri
and the Proprietor and Condo or derived s
.0 mutt'
advantage from the 4ntectainment, that he 1145
resolved to resume it every -"Aonday during th
M trgate Season. The scheme is quite on the 1.,1'3
of Dandelion Gardens, but is wholly in other handl!
' The Theatre on the same night was but iodic"
ferently attended. The Play was Lover's Yaws.
The part of Agatha was performed by Mrs. 4t4CO'
Bis.Lp, a daughter-in-law of the fair Dramatistei
She played with feeling, and spoke with great pre'
cision. A Miss Bac!wm was the Apulia .; OP is
• spirited young Mtress, -,vitit a very genteel,
unaffected manner. The part of -Frederick wel
hardly ever played with more ability than by Mfg
ki4it Tl, ET4 who deservew a station in London.; ~
On Wednesday Dandelion had a Public Bredft
fast, btx there were few visitors on account of the
rainy weather. In the evening, IlArmosp,
Drury-Lane Theatre, made his gist apPearancc
this place in The Movreaincfrr, He was very welt
received on his entrance, and went through
diacult part of Offirpvian in a very creditable au'''
net. The Play altogettler was well supported, alos
excited interest and approbation. .The same eve"l

length, however, between sixty and seventy FeP:
sons were present. The chief topic of coryetV"
tion arose from the hope of seeing CooKE, to
Sh.ylock,the folloWing night; 4tid several parties for
the Theatre were formed in consequence of o'g
expectation. He was announced in the Biils for
that part, and Arch' Mlarcasm, and f(-4
Richard on the Saturday. But alas ! poor CoOlq'
-seems destined to be in hot-ezeater--wlien the
ence were admitted into the Theatre, the first thing
that attraled their attention, was a letter from
Cooitt, stating, that he caught a violent &aro',
yes: in his journey from Birmingham to London'
which prevented his visiting Margate. The Corr'
pany were very much disappointed and chagrinedt
and many quitted the Theatre in disgust. :06
Play, however, was performed. RAYMONr? °c';'
quitted himself at least repedably, in Skyloci,
all the Performers seemed anxious to atone for tilc
public disappointment. The Prize was the substi'
tute for Love-erda-Mode, and the whole, notwitil'7'
standing the first damper, went off with grog
spirit. .

Yesterday morning the votaries of Pleasure, t°
the number of about one hundred and fifty, assern;
bled at Dandelion, at the Public lireakfist, an'
were on the whole very well entertained.
Raffling, as I told you, has been obliged to sub",'
mit to the control of Law ; but though the hand
does not shake the dice box, it has transferred its
power to the tongue, which operate's with treble
effect. At our great Library, the Hammer is OP
ployed to dispose of those teys and trinkets, whiels,
used to be allotted by Raffling, and their value i 5
certainly not reduced by iluaicn.

Dl:TEX.—Yesterday se'nnight, near 'dusk, a (Joel
took place near Irishtown, Dublin, between Colonel
CORRY and Mr. StoxEs,,late of the Ordnance De;
partment. They fired one shot each, and the 104
from the Colonel's pistol struck the watch of Mr'
S. and broke it, which saved the latter from being
wounded ; he was somewhat hurt, however, 011
the force of the shot. Here the affair terminate t
by the interference of their friends. The cause

the duel is said to have arisen from words of the
parties upoti a late business of litigation.
A beautiful Arabian horse, intended for th°

RATISBAN, JULY 20.—The Imperial Rescript
which the Ministers of Bohemia and Austria re-

Count de STADIoN at Berlin, the Count de MET-
tERI"cIi at Dresden, the Counx de Scarlet: at.

the Rtk-ript is in substance as follows

"His MAJESTY was unceasingly occupied with the
means of terminating the important business of the

sred, addressed theMselVes in the interim to Russia

for that purpose ; bUt Shortly afterwards; a,Con-
Itention was concluded withoni his particiOtion,
between &twee and Russia, in which those two

forms ptescribed by the Constitution. i'or this pur-
Pose HIS MAJESTY has resolved to convoke With-
out delay at Ratisbon, the Deputation already desig_
bated by a resolution of the Diet; he has also or-
4eted to repair to that City, the Baron de HUGEL,

he has appointed his Commissary with the

'r
As for the rest, HIS IMPERIAL MAJFs Y de..
Glares that he is disposed to agree to the legal
tesult of the operations of the Deputation he
has instruned his Plenipotentiaries, that his inten-
tion throughout was to give a manifest proof of his
desire that the business in question should be termi-
tlated as prorhptly as possible; and to the satisfac-
leei9rtof all parties who Were to be indemnified. His
rsri hooeS oh his side; that the States interest_

The event of a contrary condua; those States who
are aluated by moderate intentions; will be eons-
gelled To have recourse to similar Measures before..
from whence confusion must infallibly result."
Rlt js worthy of remark, that in a part of this
esp--r •
ip, His IMPERIAL MAJESTY recommends to
the States to consider the Indemnities to be allotted
t° the CrtAND DUKE of TUSCANY, and promises
every facility in that respea, which depends upon
himself.

ordered to march to Egypt, if the Sultan had but
pitched his tent a musket-shot from the walls of his
Seraglio, it would have inspired the Troops with

The Austrian and Russian Forces are approaching

AussnUßG, JULY I.—The new Ki NG of SAP.-
DI NIA has confirmed all the Ministers accredited by
his predecessor to Foreign Powers. A party of
Piedmontese Emigrants who have made some stay
in this City, are preparing to set oft to be
presented to the King, who is at preSent at
Rome, and then to return. to their Country. They
assert, on the authority of intelligence which they
have received from Italy, that the Sit of SAR-
DINIA has formally renounced all his claims to the
Countries of Sa,z;oy, Nice, and Piedmont, with their
Dependencies, in favour of the French Republic, in
consideration of the Indemnities which that'Power
will procure for him. They add, that the Courts of
Petersburgh and. Berlin have particularly interested
themselves in his behalf with the French Govern-
thent, and have concluded with the latter an arrange-
ment upon that subjeft. As to the Countries which
are to be allotted to him as Indemnities, very ex-
traordinary things are said. Some sever the greatest
part of the States of the new KING of ETRUR IA in
his favour ; others ereEt for him a Kingdom at the
expence of the GRAND SEIGNIOR, and generously
give him the Morea and the Seven Isles. Why should
they not, whilst they are about it, realize for him his
title of KING of CYPRUS and jEttusm.,. EM, by giv-
ing him the aEtual possession of those Countries ?
The more reasonable and moderate, content them-
selves with investing them with the Duchy of
Parma.

THE THEATRE.—The Voice of Nature was heard
again at the Haymarket Theatre last night, and
seemed to be thoroughly acceptable to the public
ear. No alteration appears to have been made in
this new Drama, and no disapprobation attended it
in any part. It has now passed through the ordeal
of public Citicism, and is apparently settled in pub-
lic favour. The House was crowded in ail parts.
The ;Performers, according to the technical lan-
guage of the Stage, were more mellowed in their
parts, and the illusion had consequently a greater
influence on the feelings. Indeed some of the La-
diei in the Boxes indulged the Audience with Ipas-
7e.odic ympaihy in the agonies of the heroine.
Mrs. BiLLINGTON. performed on the twenty_
third and twenty-fourth of last month at New-
castle-Upon-Tyne. The first part was Rosetta, in
Love in a Village, and her second Polly; in The
Beggar's Operas The people were so anxious to
see her, that the prices in ail parts of the Theatre
were doubled, a Measure justified by the sum which
the Manager gave her for her exertions. She was
received with the warmest applause, and if she
could have prolonged her stay, the Manager would
have gained a little fortune. Miss DE CAMP and
Miss MELLON ha've been. performing at the same
place with great success. INcLEDON has also been
there; amusing the people with an entertainment
upon the plan of DI aDI N. His songs were highly
and deservedly acfmired; bat the dialogue was
much below mediocrity.

Doctrt's Annual Coat and Badge, as usual,
exercised the skill and strength of a certain number
of the Knights of the Oar. After a sharp contest,
the Prize was won by Stephen Allick, of Lime.:
house. The second competitor next to him, was a
man named Kilby ; and the third, a man named
Butcher. Kilby has a reward of five Guineas, and
Butcher three. A vast concourse of people, as
usual, were upon the Share to witness the contest ;
and a considerable number of Boats, full ofSpec-
tators, -pressed upon. the bosom of Old Father
THAMEF:

Between. seven and eight O'clock on WedneSday
evening, the appearance 'of a meteor was observed
coming from the direetion of Paddington, and alter.:
nately blazing out and disappearing in the clouds,
which were then very lowering: The phcenorne,
non turned out to. be a fire balloon. In a few mi-
nutes it was apparently over the Jew's Harp pub.
lic-house, in Marybone-fields, and its body began
to be visible ; being at the time, in appearance, at
a height not less than twice that of St. Paul's. It
then gradUally descended, driving the cattle before
it, whiCh scampered as if seized with sudden 'mad-
ness.. About 300 yards to the northward of St.
James's Chapel, it lighted on the paling by the
road-side ; the fuel, which"' seemed to have been
only brushwood', being exhauSted.=—However par-
tial we may be to such ingenious 'experiments, we
are not quite clear as to the propriety of sending
up this kind of ballOon in a populous neighbour-
hood. During the former halloone-mania, some
hay-stacks were set on fire by, them in the vicinity
of Birmirigham.

ESSEX ASSIZES, JULY 30.

THE REV. J. ROOKSI.II V. STEVEN'S (ittl-tant).

This was a Penal Adion brought by the Plain-
tiff, the. Rector of South and West Hanningfield, a
village about six miles from Chelmsford, against the
Defendant, a farmer in the same place, for not set-
ting out his tythe according to the statute.
Mr. Serjeant. SHEPHERD-addressed the Jury in
behalf of the Plaintiff. Mr. llroosby, he said,
had been indaAed into the Redory, of South and
West Hanningfield, on the demise of a Mr. Howe,
in the beginning of the last year. He immediately
inquired into the income likely to arise from the
new Living, and finding that the composition made
to the old IncUmbent was too small, lie gave notice
to the fa'rmers, that unless there was an advance in
their compositions,, he should expel them to set
out their tythes. The farmers insisted upon pay-
ing no more than they had formerly done, and re-
fused to set out their tythe. Application was then
made, particularly to the Defendant, Mr. Stevens,
who said he should do the same as his neighbours ;
that he would not advance upon his old composition,
and had aalually carted off his crop without setting
out his tythe. This, in the eye of the Law, was
considered as a penal offence, and gave the Rector
a right of ;talon. After the crop had been taken off,
the Plaintiff sent a proposal of what sum he was in-
clined to accept in lieu of the tythe, whiCh was ob-
jected on the part of the Defendant, and the pre-
sent action was commenced. The Defendant, find-
ing a suit at late entered against him, expressed his
willingness to comply, rather than to litigate the
affair, arid had tendered the sum demanded by the
Plaintiff; that, however, said the Learned Counsel,
would not serve the Defendant, it being no waver
of the ;idiom, as tbe Plaintiff had refuted to take it.
He should only remark, in addition to what he had
said, that a new Incumbent was not bound by, any
agreements the old Redor trod entered into with the
Parishioners, and had a, right to demand his tythe
in kind, if he thought proper.

Mr. Guy was then put into the box, who stated,
that he had been applied to by the Plaintiff a month
after his presentation, to make a fair valuation of
the tythe. He had done so, and thought the ad-
vance demanded by a
the Re tor, a very reasonableone. 'O6 cross-examination, he said, the composition
paid by the Defendant to the old incumbent was 71.
16s. and that demanded by the new one was 24.1. tos.
He added, that in his opinion, the tythe was worth
upwards of 301. He also knew of the Plaintiff's
sending his proposal, and of Mr. Stevens tendering
the 4, los. some time afterwards.
James Oddy, a labourer, said, he Went by the
Plaintiff's desire on the day the Defendant was cart_
ing his crop, and desired to see the Parson's tythe
set out. Mr. Stevens was in the field, and said he
knew nothing of the tvitness; and should gb on
carting, unless he fetched a note from Mr.. Brooks.
by, that it was his wish that the tythe should he
set out, in which case he would comply, and set it
out. As to :The composition, all the farmers in the
parish, said the Defendant, have refused to pay
more than .they did to Mr. Howe, and he'did not
see why he should set the example of an advatok2
any more than his neighbours ; if they had no
right to pay more, he had no right. This con.
versation, added the Witness, took place on the
12th of June, t Sol ;• the Defendant was carting of
clover. He came back and told Mr. Brooksby
what had been said, but had no orders to return
again with mny note. In the 06tober following he
went to the befendant, and demanded a tythe of
some parts he had gathered. He gave me six dozen,
taking nine for hinisell, and giving me every tenth
part, as he counted them. On cross-examination,
he said, the composition had usually been paid by
the farmerS about Michaelmas, at which time the
Defendant had made a tender of the 241. ios.

Mr. GAR RO* made a most able speech in defence.
He did not mean to say the Defendant was justified
in not seizing out his tythe, unless he had agreed to
.Pay a cortipositioh in lieu of it; but he would say,
that, in the present instance, the Farmer was de-
luded into a belief that the Clergyman meant to take
a composition; and if he did, the law would not
suffer a man to play fast and loose with his engage.
ment, and When opportunity serves, bring his ac-
tion for penalties. It would be seen the Plaintiff
had not distinaly desired Mr. Stevens to set out
his tythe, but had left him 'to his choice of one
of two propositions; either to set it out, or pay
a composition. " • And how do I prove that ?"
said Mr. Gititßow, " why thus—Here is a Cler-
gyman, just included into a living, and sets
about making the most of it ; he employs a
man to value the crops, from whose estimate
he. thinks he can raise the composition from 71i
to 241. which sum he demands of the farmers, or
in defatilt expects them to set out their tythe in
kind. He lets the ,ratter rest tillharvest-time be-
. fore he makes any further inquiry, not having seen
enough of his spiritual Pastor, leaving, as it were,
his parishioners between the Devil and the Red
Sea, for so they might be considered with respeCt
to the two propositions made to diem. The Farmer
says, 56 I must consent to one or ,the other, and
Will adopt the composition; but I will not run to
Make the payment till the accustomed dine for pay-
ing the tythe, .namely, at Michaelmas, at which
period he tenders his money ; it is refused, and
a Penal Aaion is brought for not setting out his
tythe." He would ask 'the Jury, what ground
there was for instituting such an, Aetion ? When
Oddy was sent from the Redor, the Farmer said,
chew- me your authority, and if you have none,
fetch a note from your master, and I will • comply
with its ditedions ; but if you do not return, I •
shall proceed to carry my crop. In the name of
Heaven, he would ask, what would these Clergy_.
men have from their Parishioners ? But what fol-
lowed ? The servant went back, and told the con-
versation to the Plaintiff, who, if he had aded pro-
perly, would have sat,Opwrr:;and wrote a peremp-
tory demand for the tythe being set out ; but did
he do so ? No ; he sent no answer back ; then what
'was the Farmer to infer ?
.Why, that the Rector had
consented to his carting his ctop, and that he would
accept his composition, when the time should ar.
rive for its payment. At that time, , the De-•
fendant tendered the advanced composition, 241.
Las. observing to the Plaintiff, " Sir, you have

:sent me two propositions for my choice, either. to
pay a composition, or to set gout my tythe; I have
adopted the former, and here is the money." I:
was. refused, and a Penal A,±tion the consequence.
That anion, lie would contend, could not in law
be
:maintained, as the Plaintiff's conduct,
sending back an answer by the servant, would con..
stitute a waver of the demand he had made, mut
the penalty must fall to the ground. He should
only add, that if Clergymen vuould now and th,r)
put up with a little loss, rather than screw' up their
tythcs to the utmost extent, it would' be more ho_
nourabie to the Rev. Profession. If an informer
brought an Atrion against a clergyman for n
residency, there was an immediate outcry raised of
the extreme oppression of the Penal Sratutes, and
the hardships of Clergymen being subject to such
restraints ; Clergymen should therefore be cautious
how they came themselves into a Court to sue lot
penalties ; or, if they did, they should first take
care their own conduit was not equivocal, and that
it was impossible their Parishioners shoUld mistake
their meaning.
The Learned Judge summed up the evidence, and
agreed with Mr. Gmtkow., that the Plaintiff should
have returned an answer to the message sent by
Oddy,, and that having failed to do so; it must be
considered as a waver of his demand ro set out the
tythe in kind. He thought, therefore, under alt
these circumstances, that the Defendant was err.
tided to a Verdift.—Ktreliti for the

Diurifts in this neighbourhood.
The discontents first manifested thernselves about
the beginning of April last, by cutting Off the young
trees of several ,rnanufadtirers of Ilcvdrotd,
bury, and Warminster ; and by a variety of annoy.
mous letters, conceived in terms the tzti-Jst horrible,
threatening fire and destruction to the Clothiers.

. .
A. 2 RI L 2z.---A large hay_rick belonging to Mr.
Warren, of. Warminster,,manufakqurer, was set on
fire in the night, but being discovered, was extin-
guished without much damage.
In May soon after, a dog-kennel and a large oar-
rick of Mr: Warren's was set on fire in the night,
and totally consumed. .

JUNE 1-z.—rhe cart of IVIr. Bayley, of Calstone
Mills, near Deviies, returning from Warminster
loaded with cloths, was overtaken on the Downs
by six men with blackened faces, who took out the
cloths, cut five or six of them to pieces, and da-
maged 14. others, to the amount of cool.

JUNE 23.—A gun was fired in the dead of
night into the window of a house where a work-
man of Messrs. Blecck and Strode, manufacturers at
Warminster; lodged, but missed him by about seven
inches. The bullets went through the house, across
the street, and into a house on the other side of the
road. A rick set on fire at Trowbridge, the pro-
perty of Mr. Dunn, m.mufafturer, but happily (
tinguished. Another rid:. set on fire at &atilt rd,
and totally consumed, the property of Mr. Tugwell,
manufadurer, who had also received a threatening
letter.

JUNE 2o.—An assemblage of workmen from
Trowbridge, Westbtiry, and other towns, in the
evening at Warminster ; and about orre o'clock in
the night, a gun was fired into the chamber of Mr.
Henry Wansey, manufaaurer, but happily did no
mischief except breaking the windows.
Jury the dead of night a gun was fired
into the house of John Jones, and another in a mi.
nute after into the house of Riker, both
workmen of Mr. Henry Wansey, which missed
them and bheir children by a few inches only. A
gun fired at the house of Mr. Stancombe, manufac.
curer at Trowbridge ; but the bullets striking
against the Wall, fiattenectand fell.down.

JULY 13.-Tilough the Magistrates were sitting
at Warminster, at the General Quarter Sessions for
the County, yet on this right a barn, stable, &c.
the property of Mr. G. Warren, manufaaurer,
Warminster, was set on fire, and totally comureed.
An anonymous letter came by post to another manta.,
faauter of Warminster, threatening, by Almighty-
God, to have his life within a month.

JULY 4.—ThiS night the Mill of Messrs. Jones
and Co. manufacturers, at StavaTton, near Bradford,
was at•tacked by an armed body of men, who fired in
a regular manner near zoo rounds of bullets, slugs,
&c. which demolished the windows and did other
damage ; but the assailants were -obliged to desist
without aecomplis!,ing their purpose, leaving behind
them a pick axe, part of a powder.horn, and powder
and shot.

JLLY 16.—This night the large pile of buildings
at Clifford Mills, near Beckington, the property 0i,7
Mr. Newton, manufaaurer, of Stoke, were set on
fire, and totally destroyed.—The damage is esti-
mated at nearly 15001. Great part might have
been saved, but the populace would not permit it.
Jut. Y C r.—The Mills at Littleton, the property
of Mr. Naish, manufalurer at Trowbridge, were
attacked by an armed body of men with blackened
faces, set on fire, and totally consumed ; they went
away, threatening destruEtion to other mills. Thu
loss here is estimated at Soool.

JULY 24.-This night two ricks, the property
of Mr. Newman, of IVlelksham, were set on fire,
and great part consumed.
We are extremely
.concerned to find, that these
alarming riots and lawless acts have not yet entirely
subsided, not withstanding every precaution is takers
to put an end to such outrages.

The Kite and Harpy Sloops of War are :appointed

A question, very interesting to Agriculturists,
