TIAI'MARRIET THEATRE.

RTISSELL, who has appeared at this
tteat're in 011apod, and other characters, with
considerabie success, last night undertook the
difficult task of following MaTt.it?'ws as SOl7lllO in
The Sleep Walker. Mr. Russnt.t.,lby his perform-
ance last night, has established his tame, and may
now he considered as a fitti&e in one of the Winter
Houses, and lucky will that be tvktich first gets
hold of hiM. ilis mimetic powers, which are
essential to the character, are very extraordinary.
We shall not particularise them, but leave the
Patine to judge for theinselves, just observing, that
his imitations are in genera! Very close and striking.
He also gave a ludicrOus irritation hf Madartie
SAo.ut'S rope-dancing, and ;o all his efforts he
displayed a quick sense of the ridiculous. lie was
vehemently applauded by a very numerous audience.
We ought also to notice Mr. CONNott, whoSe per-
formance of Sir Patrick Macgtrire teas spirited,
burnourous; and effective. The new Comedy Of
Possession his passed through the critical o'deal
in safety, and is now established in public favour.
The conci;:ding piece was The Critic, and it was
admirably supported throughout:

The oldest tower of Lancaster Castle; called the
Dungeon Tower, has lately been taken down. It
is supposed to beUpwards of 1,500 years since it
was erected. The floor was formed of stones
about two feet long and six or eight inches square;
set on end, and bOund together with iron, and
thus formed a Sort of pavernent•. This StOne-work
rested on a bed of solid Marl. About three feet in
thickness, Which either had been removed thither
out of the castle ditch, Or front a greater distance.
Beneath the bed of marl, whiCh the work-
men babe just removtd, a number of horses'
teeth were airnott daily discovered. The tower,
as ira name implies, has 'originally been designed
for a dungeon, for the purpOSe probably of con-
fining prisoners of War : but the teeth in question
have been found very plentifully in Silt-lilar titua-
dons in other departments Of the Castle.
The heat for some days past has been to ekcet-
sive, we seetti to have exchanged climates with
leafy and the West Indies-,,the one at present de-
luged with rains, and the other surprised with a
visit from the icebergs. A labouring than last
teeek, whilst working in the fields in the neigh-
bourhood of Chatham, fell under the influence of
a stroke of the sun, which produced phrenzy; and
from which he has not yet recovered.
SUDDEN DEATH.--.Yesterday morning, Mrs.
Mary Cuthbert, of Stepney-green, who was
' speaking to her husband while in bed, in ex-
cellent health and spirits, without a single strug
gle _readied her last. A surgeon attended; but
she *as quite dead.
CAUTION TO PERSONS BAtntiid.-;---A few days
ago, a youth, nattied John Thomas, who resided
an Messrs. Croft and Parsons, in the Strand, went
into the Serpentine River in Hyde Park, while in
a state of perspiration,—after he bad dressed him-
self he felt a langour and chilliness, and the Mo-
ment he arrived at home, be was attacked with
violent fever, attended with delirium, of which lie
died in three dart. He was only IS years of age.
A Gentleman, while bathing at Greenwich on
Sunday last, was sei2ed with the cramp, and be-
fore assistance could be given, he had sunk to
rise no more. His body has not been found. His
name was Askin.

Yesterday morning the son of Mr. I. Spalding,
of Mary•le-bone-street) and another boy, a
neighbour's son, went to bathe in the Serpentine
River. Both could swim a little, and they in
consequence ventured nut some distance 3 but on
returning the former sunk, which being perceived
by the othtr he went to his assistance and they both
sunk, which being perceived by a drummer in the
Guards, he plunged into the water, arid suc-
ceeded its saving the life of the latter, but the
other lad was drowned.

Thursday Robert Simpson, about eight or ten
rars of age, one Of the boys in the Trirtity-bOrite
ScLooliwtille bathing in company with some others
in the river, a little tai the Westward of the Flinn-
tier DGck, got out of his depth, and was drowned;
his body has not yet been fOund. A young man,
named i'rancit Conyers, being near the spot,
threw bitintlf into the river with his clothes on,
but the tide running strong, and the river being
filled in that place with mild by the emptying of
the iTitid-engineS, his praiseworthy attempt was
fruitless, and he Was compelled co s*im tokthe
shore much eshensred. The above young sufferer
was son of Captain Sittipson, tif the Arnica*, who
wat drowned shout twtive nibnths ago.—Same
day an infant, quite baked, and in a pillow-case,
was found by some boys floating ih the Humber
pock ; it seems to have been about two or dirt,
days Packet) July 20.)

KtritrAPpfißs.—uo Monday night, whilst Mrs.
Gray, who keeps a tobacco and snuff-shop in
Drury-lane, was serving some customers in her
shop, her child, about four years old, strolled to
to the door : she heard a woman saying to Ano-
ther of the children tt► go for some fruit, but she
did not attend to it, till in a tew minutes after she
missed the chili. An alarm being made, persons
were dispatched in all difectionS, and happily the
wretch was taken in theSttAndcarrying the
away.
