HAYMARKET THEATRE.-The new Macheatit
has proved what is styled a good hit for the Ma-
nager. The performance of Miss BLAKE increases
in merit and attraction on every repetition of The
Beggar's Opera, which possesses so much intrinsic
humour, and sn many satirical strokes at various
classes of mankind, that it is likely always to
retain its station on the Stage, and its influence
on the public. There was a numerous audience
last night, and the applause was liberally be-
stowed on tote w hole of the performers, but the
chief division fell to the share of Macheath and
Miss Cosh's Yollq, Match-Zireaking is another
good hit for the Theatre, and no piece can be
better supported in the representation.
The Comedy of She stoops to conquer, announced
for the Haymarket Theatre to-night, is, we find;
prevented from performance by the sudden indis-
position of one of theshief actors, and Captain
Macheuth therefore takes the road, again this
evening.

Miss \Vreso4, after the conclusion of her en-
gagement at the
!Bath Theatre, goes .to Italy for
professional improvement.
The Edinburgh Theatre opened on Monday
-for the season. The entertainments were The
Wonder, and The Coronation. Mrs. H. SIDDoN's
appeared as Violante, in the comedy, and her re-
ception of course could not but be gracious. Most
of the 'performers remain who belonged to the
company last season.
The complete suit of steel armour worn by
OLIVER, CaomwEer, which is a most unique
piece of workmanship, is now being repaired and
polished at a manufactory at Sheffield.
VVNITIL tTION.--Thtt system of ventilation
lately introduced into this town by Dr. Mryr Ea,
and which an experience of a few 'years has
proved to be No eminently useful in many of oar
public institutions, has been lately applied for a
purpose, not, perhaps, originally contemplated
by its author, namely, the ventilation of our
large tobacco warehouse. It appears that the
merchants engaged in this branch of comarerce
haVe annually sustained very :considera.ble losses
from the tobacco heating,
,as they conceive,
in consequence of the closeness of the ware-
.house ; and theY last year memorialised the
Treasury. to have 'it ventilated under Doctor!
Meyler's directions. This gentleman has been
.accordingly sent down from London, 'and the
ventilation of 'the warehouse is now completed
under his superintendence. By alterations made
in .the windows, originally placed in the roof,
they have been made infinitely more effec-
tual in promoting a circulation of air than
they formerly were ; and a variety of other
judicious expedients have been employed to
bring air into the building, and to promote
its 'circulation in every part. In fact, the
:wind, from whatever quarter it may blow, is now
made emitrently available to effect this measure...
The large circular brick pillars which are placed in
the 'centre of the warehouse to support the roof and.
to carry off the water, are, in consequence of some
,alterations, made available to ventilation also,
anti they bring a large body of air into places
not -previously adequately supplied with it. We
trust,' therefore, .that the advantages expected by .
Ahe.mernhatits -from the ventilation .of the ware-
tionse, will he fully real4ed, as they certainly
cannot now attribute any injury their tobacco
may-sustain to want of air.--(Liverpool Courier.)

A highway robbery on a countryman was cont-
thitted Gallow-gate, one of the suburbs of
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, on Saturday night last, by
3 soldiers, two of them belonging to the 77th regi-
ment of foot, Which .was marching thro' the town,
and the other, a somthrhat despetate charattef, be-
longing to the 7th, or Royal Fusileers, at present
quartered in Newcastle. The countryman had
been refreshinbirtiself in the Black Bult.public-
house in the evening, whet ; he somewhat indis-
creetly displayed his purse and its. contents. The
soldiers were drinking there at the tithe;-. and,
no doubt, from what they saw, formed the re-
solution w rob the man on his bap borne.
lie was accordingly attacked in Gallow-mate,
knocked d•owns and, his purse stolen. froth. Min.

. .
It would seem, ftc,v(ver, that he had gOt a suffi-
cient glimrse of the robbers to recognize them ;
and concluding them to be soldiers, he straight-
way moved on to the barracks to give an &arm.
But what was his surprise on going into the can-
teen, there to find the indentical throe iudiNi-
duals carousing over their ale. They were im-
mediately apprehended ; the money, (four potinds
odd), except one twenty-shilling note which they
had changed, was found upon them : and on the
following Monday they were brought before the
Magistrates at the Guildhall, examined, and fully
committed to Newgate for trial.

VAGRANTS.—The following instant: of impo-
sition occurred in this City last week :—A woman
applied to a Magistrate for relief, stating that
she had three children (one blind) at a lodg-
ing,-house, and that she had a very bad foot._

Tile Magistrate told au officer to accompany her
to the lodging-house, and see the children; he did
so, but after passing through several streets, the
woman said, she could not recollect vi here the
house was; the officer told her if she did not produce
the children she must be taken to gaol as an im-
postor ; upon this declaration the lady took to
her heels," her bad foot" being as useful to her
as her good one.----( Wwcestel Jour-tit:4Oct. 24.)

DFITH BY A BUI.L.—A melancholy accident

happened at Denby Grange, on Friday after-
noon, the rith instant. Timothy Cudworth,
cow-leech, a man much respected' in the line of
his professionovent unaccompanied by the farmer,
or any of his farming servants, into a:paddock at
Denby Grange to look at a favourite bull ;, the
animal had, before that period; shown► symptoms
of dislike to the • unfortunate man, whoa: he
then attacked with the.- greatest fury ; the walls
of the paddock being seven feet- high, the
poor fellow failed in his endeavour to make
his escape by means of the wall, and fell, when.
he was so shockingly tossed and gored as to
occasion his death, which took place on Tuesday
evening. The bull was s,hot on Friday, and sold
by Mr. John Ness, at. the Kay's Arms Inn, ou
Saturday, at nine. o'clock, by the- pound, for the
benefit of the poor widow, who is now left des-
titute of support, with six helpless children.—
( York Chronicle.)

Mr. R. Itontssoyt, of Derby, has now in his
possession one of those scarce birds the
eared owl, which was lately brought -from Russia.
It is not much inferior in size to the eagle. its

head is adorned with two erect tufts jest above
each eye ; its eyes are lar•g4, and of a bright

DAILY EXTRACTS FROM VIE MORNING PAPERS',

October- 27. i

[NEwEs.]
The Debate df the Common Connell will be
read With- more than common `interest. Never
were empty pretensions so .eompletely exposed,
as those of poor Mr. Hume : never was reputa-
tion so wantonly EacrifiJed •to the purposes of
party, as his was by his own friends... It was
necessary, in'ofder to prop up theirsinking cause,
that somebody should be thanked,.and rewarded
'with the highest honour which the Corporation
can bestow 'On any but its' own Members. For
this purpose, they pitch upon Mr. Joseph
Hume: they drag him forward nolentem
tem ; and by --dubbing
.him a Financier; they
compel those who pity his deficiencies, un-
willingly to .exhibit them in all their absur-
dity, to the -ridicule of the nation- Mr. Hume
is Financier! Surely the first requisite for
that trade is a-little:decent knowledge‘.of figures.
Surely the immense pecuniary concerns 'of so
f' Britain,wealthy an Empire as that o demand,
in those who have, Or ..whd aspire to have, the
management of. them, at least the power of doing
a common suz iin the Rule of Three ! We cer-
tainly do not.:meati to argue on the priociPles of
Dr. Spuriheint, that nature has not favoured Mr.
Hume-with the organ 'of multiplication and divi-
sion. How the fact is to be accounted for,
really do not know--; but The fact most
,undoubt-
edly is, that' has shewn up his sums in the
House of Commons more' bunglingly executed
than any that ever wt.re- exhibited in a company
of gentlemen growp. •.

[THE' TIMES.] •
The Parlianientary services of .Mr. ITume were
.accurately'stated in the: Resolutions of the City
yesterday; 'anti the thanks which followed were
no more than4ttch services richly deserved. The
*course of that'•Centletnan since tie-entered the,
House of Commons.haS been no less remarkable
than successful. . He has devoted his efforts ex-
clusively to that subject, which. had been more
neglected thanany other, and for the neglect of
-which, in the actual. state of England; 'it 'is most
difficult to account- L-we mean economical reform.
—He has overcome two great parties in Parlia-
ment,
.one of which-despisedrand the other de-
serted, his earliest- endeavours fore the public
good. To Mr. Hume " and his own stre-
nuous apd persevering ' charattef it is ow-
ing that the Ministers- have • become less in-
solent in Their _guilt, 'and the Opposition less
indolent in what regards their duty, • If this
Useful Member. of Parliament continues his
system of industrious research into the windings
and cavities of corruption, he will effect a re-
-toirn the accomplishtnent of which had been sup-
posed by many to be'unattainable without
total change in the elements and constitution of
the House of Commons;- and will add one fur-
ther testimony, to the ancient •and • faMiliar pro.
verb, that it is only an idle or awkward woik-
man who complains of indifferent tools. Sup-
ported, as Mr, flume mist henceforth' feel him-
self, both in the legiilative body and by his
countrymen at large, there - is. no service of - a
nature WO arduous for him to undertake, and-no
resistance over Which he need despair of an
eventual triumph.

• NIORNING POST I A
Court of common Council was beltr,yester-
day for the purpose "of voting the freedom of. the
City to Mr. flume. The ostensible
.ground for
this motion was theinfluence which the animated,.
pore, and convincing eloquence of that 'Gentle-
man was supposed to have had in producing, in
the various branches of our Establishment,.those'
reductions which had been announced in hiS
Majesty's Speech at the opening of. the Session,
long before Mr. Hume had developed his plan of
economy, and declared war against the unfor-
tunate and meritorious Clerks in our public
offices. This" was the ostensible ground ; but
Mr. Favell, 'who seems to have usurped the'
lead in city politics over the wisdom of Alder-
man Wood, •and the activity of Mr. Sheriff
Weithman, happened in an unguarded., mo-
ment to reveal' 'the real one. This Gentle-
man, who moved- the Freedom of the -City
on this occasion; must certainly have known
the motives by which he was actuated, and de-.
clared publicly, that he called upon all parties:
to support his motion, tiecmise Mr. Iluine was a
most useful Bugbear to the Alinisters as-well as:
to the Opposition."'" We had SornelusPicions.of
this kind before, but. we should, certainly never
have thought of expressing them with so much
irreverence; for we entertain adue sense of Mr.
Hurne's native dignity. It- appears, however,
that there is sore advantage in being a Bugbear,
for it has procured Mr. Ilume the honour of be-
coming a citizen, and. the gratification.of receiv-
ing his freedom in a gold box worth 100. guineas
with a hint that « he would, no,doubt, accept
the freedom and retni'n,the ,box," which is. not
exactly the way in Which • those things are 'ma-
naged in the North:
