clothes; an:, after several interviews with her lover,
is which sht makes him jealous of herself, as Capiaia
Talbot, is, without any miracle, reconciled to him is
lwr own person, merely by discovering who sbe is.—
The farce has some wit knd incident, and passed off
with good effect. There WAS one passage which
seemed to hit the audience. Little KNIGHT, finding
that there are two women in disguise, suspects that
an old gentkman in the piece may tutu out to be a
third, and sixit. ficantly bAys, " There's a conspiracy I
I see it—a mayhap a plot against the Govern.
meet." The house, which was crowded with genteel
company, presently took up the hint, and did not
seem disposed to let it shop, but contiuutal in A tll•
mat for several minutes.

Tuesday evening Mr. TALSIA was introdnreil to li
the Green Room of Drury-lane Theatre, by Mr.
HOWARD PATNII.* Mr. DOWTON, in the name. of the
Performers of Drury-larte Theatre, expressed his re-
gret that a concurrence of accidental Circumstances
bad rendered them unsnccesslul in their previous
efforts to welcome Mr. Tat.sta to England. bonie
affecting conversation passed between Mr. TALm.s
and Mrs. on the subject of the late M: s. JOR-
imx. Mr. TaLsia. seemed greatly moved tit hot
having been apprised of the late Mrs. JORDAN'S being
in France, until he saw the announcement of her
death. lie added, that he should be most happy to
chew the daughter that respect and kindness with
which he had been denied the opportunity of cheer-
ing the last moments of the mother. From the
11)i so y-lane Green Room Mr. TaLsrA was conduc-
ted, by Mr. HOWARD PAYNE, to the Green Room of
the Lyceum, where he was received by Mr. ARNOLD
and Mr. HEN HY JOHNSTON, with the most marked at-
tention. Alter the usual introduction to the perfor-
mers, and a walk to the .different parts of the house—
concerning the size, stage machinery, and neatness,
of which he spoke with much admiration, Mr. TALSIA
remained in a private box, to witness part of the
performance of Miss KELLY, whom he applauded
luadly, and praised with great enthusiasm.
Ll:st week a well-dressed man went to a Livery.
Stable* in Gray's Inn.lane, and ordered a horse to be
sent harnessed to some stables,-where he had a chaise
of his own, as he wished to go into the country to visit
it friend. He agreed what ate was to pay, and was to
return the horse the next day. He went to another
person who let chaises on hire, got a chaise by similar
representations, and drove off with them; he could
not be heard of for several days; at last it was found

that the Gentleman had left the horsy and chaise at
a livery st.ibles on the day he hired them, borrow,d
a considerable sum of money of the livery-stable-
keeper upon them, and decamped.

Chapel, and stole two silver flaggons, two silver cha.

flow•STßUT.—Yesterday morning, about a quar-
ter before foar o'clock, the gardener of Mr. Cress-
well, of Old Brompton, was alarmed by a noise in
his master's grounds, which caused him to rise to as-
certain the cause. when he saw a man breaking into
the aviary for Canary birds, arc. He called to hint
several times to know what be was doing there, but
.received no answer. He then fetched a fowling.

charged it at the man. The man got over a wall
and made off; the gardener pursued-hiat. and found
bins concealed in a Gentleman s garden adjoining,
wouniedin the ancle, and there secured him. One

HATTON GARDEN.—DARING ATTEMPT AT Ron.
NICDT AND bitiaDaa.—.Yesterday information was
given at this Office. of the following most atrocious
mud diabolical attempt to rob and murder s—About
five o'clock the preceding evening, a man of the
Lime of Eli:, described to be between 30 and 40
years of age, much pitted with the small pox, rather
stout, and of a middling stature, dressed in black,
and employed as writer or messenger to a man of the
name of Ceoper, called at the house of Mrs. Curry, a
Lady about 80 years of age, residing at No. 11, Up-
per.terraee, near Islington-Church, and being Icnowa
to the maid servant, he had tea with her in the
kitchen, and remained till dark ; when, finding an
opportunity, he took up the heavy kitchen poker,
and gave the unfortunate woman a blow with it
across the skull, and .laid her flat ; she screamed out
as loud as she could, when the villain repeated his
blows, which she strove to defend by liffing up both
her hands. Her screams alarmed her mistress, who
hid the presence of mind to lock the door of- her
apartment, and lifting up the sash' she cried out—
" Murder •I robbers !" on which the villain made a
hasty retreat, without effecting his purpose, and leav-1
ing the poor woman for dead; when she was found
with her skull fractured, both her arms broke, and
several other wounds -on various parts of her body.
A surgeon was immediately sent for, who dressed
her wounds, but who has no hopes of recovery. Mr.
Secson, the Magistrate, and Mr. Fogg, the Chief
Clerk, went to the house to try to take her deposit-
,

ADMIRALTY COURT, DOCTORS' COMMONS.

TUE SHIP LOYAL AktrroN.
This was a case of salvage, at the instance of the
Master and eleven men, the crew of the Nancy, of I
Whitstable. The Loyal Btiton, it appeared, was on
shore, during one of the ecininocoal gales, o' the I
Kentish coast. It was admitted that the claimants
had rendered her some service whiht in that situa-1
tion ; but it was contended, on the part of the owners,
that it was nothing more than the ordinary employ.
ment of mariners, and the sum of £3O was tendered
as a compensation for the service. The value of the
ship and cargo was R 16,500.
The Affidavits in support of the claim went to
prove, that the boat went out from Whitstable to
render assistance when the wind was blowing very
hard; tkat there had been a storm the preceding
night ; that the situation of the vessel was perilous,
and a, signal for assistance was flying; that she was!
driving (with her anchors fool) towards the Black-
tail Sand, with the wind west by north ; that there
was danger, upon a change c'f tide, of the vessel driv-
ing upon the Mouse, and the wind and tide setting
there against her, when it would not be sate for any
boats to approach her; that the crew were unable to
clear the anchors, having been fatigued by the stcrnn
of the preceding evening ; that the salvors clean d
the vessel's anchors at the hazard of their lives, their
b at being nearly swamped, and having her stern
and mainsail split, with other damage, and the wea-
ther being very stormy ; and that six of the crew were
afterwards retained to carry the vessel into Graves-
end, where they arrived on the 3d of October.
After considerable discussion between the Counsel
on both sides, as to the extent of the danger, and the
nature ot the service performed,
Sir WILLIANI SCOTT, having consulted the Trinity
Masters sitting in judgment with him, expressed his
opinion that the suns ot 2E30 tendered was mot man
cient, and therelore awarded the sum ot £l5O to the
salvors, with exp.:races.

L.l VII Col L.S.

Intelligence was received from Derbyshire at Not-
tingham. on Sunday last,. that a rising was intended
in various counties, including Nottinghamshire, next
day. Precautions were consequently taken at Not-
tingham. Monday was a very saior clay, and few
peas-ns more than usual came into the town in the
early parts f the day ; but towards the afternoon, the
numbers increased to such an extent, that the Magis-
trates thought it necessary to send to the barracks
for the Cavalry, who paraded the streets, and the
groups gradually dispersed. The night passed off
quietly ; but about eight o'clock in the morning, an
express arrived with the information that a large
body of armed men, from the neighbourhood of
Offerton and Ripley, in Derbyshire, were on their
march to Nottingham, from whence they were but
six miles distant. Mr. MVXDY, the active Magistrate,
to whom such praise is due for his conduct with re-
spect to Cle Luddites, immediately set off from Not-
tingham with two troops of the 13th Hussars. They-
met the men at nine o'clock on Tuesday morning,
about five miles from Nottingham. dome were
armed with firearms, the rest with, pikes. Their
numbers were increasing, and they had committed
great depredations..

NOTI'INGIT M, 12 O'CLOc:1:, JUNE 10.

44 The disaffected have proceeded to acts of out-
rage and pillage. Some pikes have been brought in.
The Yeomanry Corps have been called out between
Derby and this town. One man is stated to have
been shot by the rioters, who refused to deliver up
the arms contained in his master's house.

" The Magistrates, Mundy and Rolleston, have
each proiteeded with a body of cavalry, but no intel-
ligence has yet been received Iron them. • .
st We are swearing in Special Constables, and
adopting every precaution to preserve quiet."
From Huddersfield, the following intelligence has
been received;

" HUDDERSFIELD, JUNE 9, 1817.

de In consequence of information received by the
Magistrates, the Huddersfield Yeomanry were or-
dered out yesterday, and, between this place and
Henley, came up with a party of Rioters, reported
to amount to some hundreds. The Rioters discharged
several shots, and wounded the horse of Mr. David
Alexander. They afterwards dispersed. It does not
appear that any of them were talien.-!all is quiet."

Two troops of the 13th regiment Light Dragoons
have been marched in from York, as an addition to
the military force previously stationed here ; and an
increased force can be had at the shortest notice.—
Paroles of horse and of constables vigilantly traverse

no doubt, subdued ; but vigilance and activity are
not the lass indispensable."
" MONDAY MORNING, ONE O°CLOCK.We S p the
press to state, that the whole of the cavalry just
mustered by the sound of bugle. All we can learn
is, that they are to march in the direction of Wakefield
immediately. We suspect that attempts are probably
making to liberate the prisoners in that town. Ex-.
cepting that stones have been thrown at some of tl4l
horse patrole, Leeds is yet perfectly tranquil."

TURNER AND SCROPG(III4S:.

pngilfsts arrived in town on the evenin7 .n?
the tiellt. and both skewed yesterday. Turner, unirss
he told i:, no one would know that he had been Eght-
ing. According to loose repent Scrogginc was nearly
killed, bat the only blow he got of cons..vience
on the windpipe, which he received in the second
round. It was rather a tame fight, from the CillltiOl
of both men. It has surprised many that Seroggins,
who always went up to the head of his adver;..ry,
and finished him in a masterly manner, Olot:Id not
have been able to plant one good hit in 7,1 minute!.
~fighting. But he never stood before such an adver-
sary until this time. Turner had length upon him,
with fire science and undaunted courage, and if his
hitting was not terrific, his method. was certain. Ile
was generally urn the defensive, and Scrorgins
never could reach him. When he made his rush lie
was stopped, and oftentimes when in, Turner pot his
head under one arm, and punished with the other.—
Scroggins had no chance in rlle latter part of the
A pitched !,attle was rot.Lht on Tuesday 2.11,-..rnoort
1 in Ila,k-rs.ea•fields, near the Red House, by two youvg
men, butchers, in Newport-market, which lasted an
hour and a half. They were both rtgv;rer, nntv ith-
stardirg which they mould each ce.:er dreachully
about the face and head.

The Wrestling Match at Ide, in Devonshire, on
Tuesday se'nnight, afforded great amusement to the
lovers of that athletic diversion ; a rumb -r of tint-
rate players attended from •different parts of the
county, and most of the matches were strongly con-
tested. The play was kept up, with great spirit, until
two o'clock next mornine, when the prize was WOil
by Abraham Cann, of Colebrooke. A purse ef
gnineas was wrestled for, on the preceding day, at
Morchard, and won by Matthew Vreford, a yonng
player just come nut, and who bids fair to become a
formidable champion. Flower, Jackman, and the
three Canis (brothers), were all thrown• in the
double play.
Charles Mack, of Broughton, lately undertook, for
a RI. note, to walk bare-foot on the townpil:..-road
40 miles within twelve hours, which he accomplished
with apparent eace.
Yesterday a young man of the name a Valentine,
residing on Great Saffron-hill, for a trifling wager,
lifted WO pounds weight from the ground with his
teeth, without the ansistance of his hands. _ _

Wednesday, while the Blue Gowns, a class of pri-
rileged beggarmen in Scotland, were rcceivinit their
1 annual allowance of blue cloth and money in the
Canongate Church, Edinburgh, a very interesting
and gratifying scene occurred. Among them was a
woman who has seven chilchen, but whose Itim:id
(forinerly a Blue Gown) died about a i..ttninht ago.
She came to solicit het husband's gown and a li,tle
pecuniary aid, but was only ;Mowed 2s. At ti: tt
moment one of the Blue Gowns, who has been
and dumb ever since his birth, had just received hi:
gown for the first time. A person present made- tiqns
to him that the woman had received Ilene, that she
had seven children who were Attest nal:ed. and
wished he would give his r.:.ivn to her ; and it was
truly gratifying to see with what readiness the poor
fellow ran and put his gown into her arms, and made
signs that she should make it into clothes for her
children. In order to try hint, the gown was taken
from the woman and given back to him, but he re-
fused it with the greatest indignation, and when the
woman got it again seemed quite overjoyed.
Monday, as Mff. Russell., who keeps a broker's
shop in Marquis-court, Drury-lane, was tearing up
the bottom of a very ancient chair, for the purpose of
converting the hair to other purrses, she was agree.
ably turptised to find 14 guineas in gold, carefully
wrapped up in a piece of linen concealed in it.
Saturday a young woman who lived servant at the
Snn public house. in Noel-street, Seim, in the act of
putting some linen out to dry on lines from the attic
window, unfortunately overbalanced herself, and was
precipitated on the pavement, by which her skull was
fractured and some of her limbs broke. She was
carried on a shutter to the Middlesex Hospital, where
the died thisame evening.
A painter at work at the front and near the top
of a house in Highfield-street, Liverpool, was blown
down by the wind on• Wednesday se'nnight, by which
be had several bones broken (his right arm so
mangled that it was imputated immediately) and he
now lies without hopes of recovery in the Inflimary.
Tuesday evening as two boys were leaning out of`
a two pair of stairs window, in Hare-court, Temple,
in striking at each other in play with switches, one
of them over.balanced himself and fell on the pave-
ment; by which he was so much injured that lie was
conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital in a very
dreaful stare.

Yesterday an Inquest was held at the London
Hospital, on the body of T. Downing, I I 'years of
age, who climbed into a tree to get a binrs nest ;
when one of the boughs broke, and he fell upr.n some
spikes, one of which entered his neck. N'erdict—
Accidental Death.

On Monday night, about eleven o'clock, as Mr.'
Sterry, of Newington, was passing the Magdalen
Hospital, in Blacktriars-road, he was suddenly at-
tacked by a fellow who knocked him down, ::nd then
Proceeded to beat and ill-treat him with so much
violence as to break one of his legg ; the villain then
endeavoured to rob him of Lis gold watch, chair,
and seal., but the chain breaking, his watch was pre-
sewed by two Gentlemen' coming up at the time.
T::e question between the gdvernments and na-
tions of South America has taken a *very singu-
lar cast. The Ktso of SPAIN, beinZ all but expel-
led from his colonial territories, appeals to the Sove-
reigns of Europe generally, from the unprovoked
" aggression" of Portugal, though directed against
his own rebellious subjects. These rebels male war
unon the enemy of their Sovereign, but on grounds
more fatal to the authority of that SoLvere4o than
those acted on by the enemy of whom he complains.

plomatic warfare in Europe with FERDI NA ND the •

parts of South America by which his oti empire is
