of whose engagement we are not so-assured,'will ap-
pear, with some new and beautiful. faces from coun-
try Theatres. But what shall we say to the strength
of the operatic department? We can scarcely be-
lieve our pen when we write, among the Drury-Lane
performers, the name which seemed for ever asso-
ciated with Covent-Garden—Miss Sraemtss—yet it
is true that she is hereafter to throw her delicious en-
chantments- around the silent and ravished circles of
Old Drury 1 Only conceive of Miss STEPHENS and
BRAHAH together,—as they will be—supported by
Madame VESTRIS, MiSS:POVEY, Miss FORCE, and
Mrs. AUSTIN, a singer of high repute from Dublin.
Our ears absolutely tingle with expectation while we
think of hi We scarcely know in what department
to place that enchanting little phenomenon CLARA
FISHER, whO is engaged for three years, and who is
to be produced in little Pieces written expressly for
her age and powers, in which she will not merely
awaken wonder, but give real pleasure to her ad-
mirers. All the best English dancers too ate en-
gaged for the ballet—a luxury banished of late from
the English Stage—and Mr. and Mrs Ntstt and
Mr. and Mrs. OSCAR Bytom, with the fascinating
Miss TREE, are to lead off the dance in a ballet by
M. D'Eovit,Le. This ever sprightly addition to the
amusements of the Drama is worthy of i.eculiar re-
mark, not only as evincing the liberal spirit which
pervades all the arrangements, but as affording en-.1
coaragement to native artists, whose' emulation it has
been the fashion to repress, by exclusive partiality to
foreigners. We do not see why true grace may not
be cultivated at our National Theatre, and, in spite
of the miraculous twirls of the Parisians, "Britannia
rival France."
After the statement we have made, and for the
essential correctness of which we regard ourselves
pledged, it would be absurd to offer any eulogy on
Mr. &LISTON. He has long been assailed with gross
and unmerited abuse; every low and vile source of
calumny has been eagerly sought by his foes; every
incredible and inconsistent tale of his parsimony has
met with eager believers. He has now replied to his
slanderers by deeds which it is impossible to mistake,
and which must utterly shame • them into silence.—
The:exist-me of the improvements, which reflect the
highest credit on Mr. I3EAZLEY the atchir.ect, is esti-
mated at not less than 1.:15,000, and, they have
afforded, since the close of the season, constant em
ploy meat for more than five hundred workmen.—
' Such is the dispatch which has been used, that the
Theatte is expected to open on the 12th of October,
a day which will be anticipated with restless pleasure
by all lovers of Plays. Who is there that does not
ish to the man who has so long held an even course
through evil report and through good report, and
who is now making an effort beyond all precedent
for the revival of the oldest-beloved among our
Theatres, a rich over-payir.eut of success?

ceased was tried at Shrewsbury*, thsvißst
1821, anci• convicted of house-lstealtiag. She was
sentenced to fourteen years' tradtpaitatione which
was afterwards commuted to seven years' imprison-
ment in this place. She was brought hereon the 23d
of August, 1x42, and remained here till she died.
John Pratt, resideat surgeon to the prison.—l saw
he deceased en the 25th of September, when she
complained of a pain in her stomach. On the 26th
she was removed to the Infirmary. She was very
abusive to her wardswoman, whom she struck ; she
was therefore removed into ,4 the Mad Room." In
half an hour, on promising to behave better, she was
allowed to return to her ward. She rested very well
during the night. On the next morning she ap-
peared better, but she again behaved very ill. She
*as moved again to the Mad Rocim, and Dr. Hut-
chison, with myself, saw her at three o'clock. We
carefully examined her, but could not discover any
disease. We promised her she should' again go into
one of the wards of the Ififirmary it she behaved as
she ought. She declared she could neither stand nor
walk. We moved her into the Long Room, and
placed her on her feet against the wall, desiring her
to walk across the reom. .She attempted, assisted by
Dr. Hutchison, but fell with her head against the
door, which was wide opm. We raised her, took
her across the room, and seated her upon a stool.
We then examined her, to see if she had received any
injury from the fall, but found none. She was then
put to bed. I put a blister on the nape of her neck,
and also used an embrocation. I saw her two or

three times in the course of the next day (Saturday);
she was perfectly sensible. On Sunday morning I
went to see her ; she was dying ; she died at a quar-
ter before eight. I sent for Dr. Hutchison; he came
as soon as possible.. I do not know to what cause to
attribute the de.ttli of the deceased. I have no rea-
son whatever to suppose it to have been caused by
any hurt received in the fall.
Dr. Hutchisim.—On Friday I went to: see the de-
ceased.; she was in the. safe room of the Infirmary,
lying on the bed, with her clothes on. She was after-
wards moved into another room. She opposed her
removal, and said she could not stand. I was anxious
to know whethershe.wastinable or unwilling..to stand ;
she was therefore placed against the wall, in the long
room. I desired her to walk ; she persisted that she
could not. A, she was of a sulky disposition, we en-
deavoured to threaten her into compliance, by'rjtew-
ing her a strait jacket. We then coaxed her. to walk ;
the second step she fell on her left side; her head,
neck, and shoulder, hit the deor ; we raised and ex-
amined her, but could not find any injnry. The dc.
ceased was again placed against the wall, a nurse
on each side of her, holding the sleeve of her gown.
She walked more than fifteen yards. 1 ordered an
embrocation to be used, and the application of a
blister to the nape of the neck with .directiOns that
she should be bled, if any symptoms of injury to the
brain should appear.
One of the Jury asked if any one had pushed the
deceased? to which Mr. Hutchison answered, "Cer-
tainly not. About eight o'clock on Sunday morning,
received a note from Mr. Pratt, that she was very
and he was afraid she.was dying. When I ar-
rived she was dead. I. cannot say precisely the cause
of her death."

ELEGANT GLASSES, FURNITURE, &c.—The No-
bility and Gentry ate invited to inspect the Ware-
rooms of CooPEtt anal SoN, 93, Bishopsgate-street
Within, tx here is exhibited an assortment of new and
second-hand Plate Glase,, admirably suited to evzry

economy as to attract and ensure the patronage of

found a newly invented chamber convenience (espe
ciall) useful to invalids), in which all effluvia is care-
fully prevented.—*** TUrkey and other (Carpeting,
also greatly reduced in price.

Another_Juror (apparently somewhat inebriated)
said that he thought the deceased had been harshly
and et uelly treated, to which Dr. Hutchison replied :
" As a witness I have told you upon my oath-, and as
a man I now tell you Upon my honour, that the de-
ceased was treated with all possible mildness. If
there be any fault, it is on the right side—that of
he manity."
The Jury having expressed a desire to examine the
convicts who attended the deceased during her illness,
they were admitted into the interior of the building
for that purpose.
Mary Jones, a convict, sworn—l slept with the de-
ceased on Friday and Saturday night. She was at
times sensible. She did Rot complain of any hurt re.
ceived in falling. No one caused her to fall. On
Saturday night she was very quiet; she slept a little.
She was awake about two o'clock on Sunday morn-
ing. She was very ill. At sir o'clock she com-
plained of a head-ache and pain in her neck, where
the blistet had been. When she walked in the long
room she had no assistance-; the two nurses only pre-
tended to hold her 'up.
A Juror asked Dr. Hutchison if he could assist
them in forming an idea of the immediate cause of
I the death of the deceased ?

Friday last, a young man, son of Mr. Cormack, of

dog, when the trigger of his gun came in contact with
something, and the shot went off, and the ball passed
through a younger brother's head, who fell dead in
an instant at his feet.

Sept. 17, atWhitefield, l'eebles-shire, aged 82, Jas. lkP Dotted,

Dawson, Esq. of Frogden, the fath.r of the improved system of
husbandry in Scotland, who, after a regular apprenticeship in

In the Agricultural Report of Roxburglishire, by the late Rev.
Dr. Douglas, it is stated, in justice to M'Dougal, at the particular
desire of Mr... Dawson, that AP Dougal was the first ploughman
in Scotland that drew a straight turnip drill, with a two-horse
plough,without a driver. After being farm overseer to Mr. Daw-
son for 14 years, during which time lie had the charge of thl ap-
prentices who came from various parts of Scotland to Mr. Dan--
son for instruction, he, in 1778, took on lease a small farm in the
neighbourhood of West Linton, Peebles-shire,where his trtnirle,
as that of a farmer paying rent, and acting at his own, had an
immediate and effectual influence as to the ready
-adoption aal
rapid diffusion of the turnip and artificial grass farming, among
the practical farmers all around,as particularly stated in the Agri.

Gentlemen,notwithstanding a manlier rather blunt and uncourtly.
Such, indeed, was the general opinion of his good sense and inte-
grity, that in matters of reference as. to country bu4ness, he was
