CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 22.

THERE are but few arrivals of Wheat today,
and few Buyers at Market ; some prime Samples
were sold readily, and the others had a very dull sale ;
we have great plenty of Barley and Malt; the price
of those articles is nearly as before ; as are Pease
and Beans ; Rape Seed is something lower, as also is
new Rye; although we have many Oats, there
are very few of fine quality, which are dearer, the
others are much as before ; the prices of Flour do
not. Vary.

On Thursday a shocking- -and singular accident
happened to a soldier belonging to Dover Castle,
and one belonging to the Ordnance : they were
undermining a large bank of earth, which unfortu.'

buried alive ; the one belonging to the Ordnance,
had his left thigh broke, • and also a compound
fraeture of his right leg ; his spine was also much
hurt; but he is still living : the other poor fellow died
on Monday, owing to a fraEture of the bone of the
waist, which seemed to have perforated his bladdzr•

MATCHES AGAINST TlME.—Last week, a bet of
12,0 guineas between K. JONES, Esq. of ° Fonmon
Castle, Glamorganshite, and Capr. Rasx ew, of the
15th Light Dragoons, was determined in favour of
the latter Gentleman. The match was, that Mr,
JoNss's chariot, drawn by four horses, should rail
frum the Bell Inn, in Gloucester, to the turnpike
leading into Cheltenham (a distance of about tel:
miles) in forty minutes ; but it having been deemed
necessary to change horses on the road, ae rife
was
,exceeded by six minutes and a half. iVlonclaY
last another match was determined between the
same parties, in which Mr. JoNts betted 65o.gui'
neas that he would travel post from Gloucester 0
London, in his chariot and four, in toi hours.
The distance is about toy. miles. He accordingly
started, at four o'clock in the morning, and after
changing horses eight times, reached Tyburn Tull?
pike at one o'clock ; an hour and a half within the
time stipulated, being at the rate of If miles 17. e(
'
'hour, exclusive of unavoidable stoppages at the aor.
fetent stages.

DEATH OF A SINGULAR CHARACTER.---During
the course of last week died at Plymouth, fa •
V% ells, a charader well known amongst seamen at
the different seaport towns. In the naval adiOtr°h
the Ist of June, Poll fought bravely on boarclle:
Marlborough, where, from a principle of atq.,Orsj:,
ment, she refused to part from the sailor she. tya
_.
with, but actually bore the horrors and confuste"
of the battle, fighting at a gun with all the resolut;
tion of a hardy veteran. In the scene of carnage
board that ship, Poll stood firm, and after the evsl,;:
had proved successful, her humanity and attentlo
were of the highest utility to the unfortuedt:.
wounded. When she arrived in Plymouth, she Ic
ceived 3l her share of prize.moncy,

MADrMoISELLE CHAMEROY was iuteired yes.
t"(lay evening about seven o'clock : her rerhains
',:ere attended by a long procession ; it consisted
of numerous Deputations from all the Theatres.-
--)ut an unfortunate event occurred, which disturb_
f=cl the solemnity of this melancholy ceremony :
when the procession had reached the Church of
Saint Roch, they found the gates shut, and the
Curate declared that Mad. CHAMEROY having
died an ,Adress, she was excommunicated by the
Canon Laws, and could not be received into the
Church. Every effort was made to induce him
to alter his opinion, bUt in vain : he declared he
could not relax in the least, unless they produced
him a Certificate of the confession of the deceased ;
and as this could not be done, he persisted that the
gates of the Church should remain shut. These de-
lays caused an immense crowd to assemble, and it was
Proposed by some that the gates of the Church should
be forced, arid by others that an Officer of Justice
should be sent for, in order that the refusal of the
Curate should be formally verified. Neither of these
measures were adopted , the body was taken to the
.Church of St. Thomas, where it was received with.

aey oppotition.
RATIsEON, OCT. 7.—The new Plan *Of Intim-

-ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.

KESWICK, OCT. 15.

THE following are the particulars of the novel of
real life, the scene of which has unfortunately been
laid among our Mountains The pretended Alex-
ander . Augustus Hope had not only paid his ad-
dresses to the young lady mentioned in your first
account, and 'actually fixed the wedding-day, but
had lilkewise made two others of Keswick (one the
daughter of the .fi,hermare who used to be his com-
panion. in his fishing expeditions) believe him under
an•:engasgernent of marriage to them. • Including
his tinfOrtunitte wife, he had paid .serious addresses
to four women at -the same time, one of rank. and
fortune, and three of humble life. On the morning
of his first departure froth Keswick for Scotland,
and of ,his marriage at LortoreChurch, he 'trans-
mitted to the Gentleman under whose protettiorifthe
young Lady at present is, a draft for 3o!. on Mr.
CRUMP, of Liverpool, reqUestingliim to pay some
stql debts in Keswick, and return hini 'the-balance,
This the Gentleman immediately did, and' sent,him
besides 'ten guineas, lest the pretended Honoterablr
should find himself short of cash. When the news
came to Keswick ton •the Saturday noon, Ooh..
of his marriage, 'and suspicions were of course in-
stantly
.awakened., the Draft was sent to Liverpool
for acceptance ;, and it 'was accepted. In a few
days the Gentleman received a letter (from Dum-
fries, we believe, and franked, of course) informing
him of the Marriage. In this letter, the pretended Honourable stated his • purpose of returning
within the time which he fiad promised on his de-
parture. And accordingly, he did return to But-
rermete in a coach and four, at the beginning of
this Week. At this time, Mr. Judge HARDINGE,
who happened to be here, hearing - that' Colonel
Hope was at Buttermere, and so romantically mar-
riedlan old acquaintance of the Judge's as it seems),
sent over his servant, with a letter, requesting to
see the Colonel. The servant was introduced, and
on seeing the man, instantly said, " Here is some
mistake ; this is not Colonel HopE." The im-
poster took the letter, and leplied, '' 'Ti: not,foi
me ; it is for my'brother CHARLES ;" but sent word,
that he should come to Keswick. And on Wed-
nesday morning he came in his coach, but without
his wife. He was, of course, interrogated by the
Judge, who told him that he was nut the person
whose name he had assumed. He certainly denied
that he had assumed it ; he had said that his name'
was Hope, but not that he was the Hon. Member
for Linlithgow, or Dumfries. He was contradided
by the aforemeationed Gentleman, who not only
gave evidence that lee had always spoken of himself
as Lord Hori.tror:ta's brother, but that he had
framed his letters as such. The respedable and
intelligent Post-master of Keswick gave evidence
to the same point. He was committed to our Con-
stable, while the examination was going forward.—
He made light of the business ; drew for another 201.
on Liverpool, which was cashed for him by the land-
lord of the Queen's Head, and sent t 6 the Gen.
tkman the ten
_guineas which he had borrowed.
To amuse himself, he chose to make a little
sailing expedition on the Lake, which the Constable
did not think himself authorised to prevent. Ac-
cordingly, he went with his old friend the fisher-
man: and all remained waiting for his return.
EVening and the darkness came on : he did not
return : but was guided by the fisherman through
the -Gorge of Borrodale, and probably escaped

vered the very alarming circumstance, that all

it is concluded, that he meant to desert his poor
wife, and that he has deserted her. I cannot ex-
press the sincere concern whiCh every inhabitant of
the country takes in the misfortune of poor
. MARY, of Buttermere. I know her well ; and I can
truly say, that she would have been an ornament
to any rank of life. She is intelligent and well-
informed, and uniformly 'maintained her dignity, as
a woman, by never forgetting or suffering others
to forget, that she was the Maid of the Inn, the.
attendant of those who stopped at the ale-house,
aad.not the familiar. I never knew any one think
otherwise than well and highly of her, who had
. demeaned themselves consistently with their own
rank and character. I am convinced, that when

TIIE JEALOUS WI F E.

Mrs. GLOVER, whose abilities are well known
to the Pgblic, and are held in merited tespeEt, last
night Made her first appearance,. at this Theatre in
the charader of Aire. Oakley.
Mrs. GLOVER possesses talent's that entitle her to
a station on the London boards, and we are glad
that she is restored to the town. Her perforthance
of Mrs. Oakley was a very good piece of ading.
She is evidently well acquainted-with the froward-
ness, the caprice, the violence, the artifice, and the
tyranny, which belong to such charaders as the
Author has drawn in Mrs. Oakiev, and she exhi-
-bited them all With truth and spirit. Indeed we
have seldom seen the part more conspicuous on
the scene, or more impressive on the Audi-
ence. The whole of her performance, was very
well received, and we doubt not that she will prove
an acquisition to this Theatre.
WROUGHTON is an Ador of the true school.
He performed Oakley with all the tenderness of a
good-natured- husband, whose sense of the virtues
of his wife induces him, for the sake of peace and
quietness, to submit too long to her follies, but who
is roused at last into a manly assertion of his own
dignity.
PALNIErc gave humour and spirit to the part of
The Major. •
BANNISTER, Jun. was not quite at home in Sir
Harry Beagle. There was all the unfeeling coarse.
ness of the Jockey, but rather too much of what is
termed the vulgar kaorwing Kiddy, partaking more
of the manners of Filch than of the SportsmaN.

DowToN's 'Squire Rime! was a good Portrait of
rustic violence, blended with parental affection.—
DE' CAMP made sb indifferent an appearance in Lord
Trinket, thaChe may be charafterised in his own
words, " I inAe a very ridiculous figure here,
'pan 'OnOr.'l*-BARRYIVIORE and IVlrs. MOUNTAIN
were sufficiently respedable in Charles and Harriet.
The last scene of this pleasant Comedy, in which
the Lady contrives to fall into a fit, and the husband
will not suffer any body to assist her, was very well
managed by Mrs. GLOVER and WROUGUTON, and
Went off with great eclat.
