SOCIETY OF ARTS.

A numerous and elegant assemblage of fashion and
beauty was collected yesterday, at the King's Theatre,
in the Haymarket, to witness the annual distribution of
the prizes v,h,ch had been adjudged by the Society fos
the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Com-
merce, to the several candidates who had, in the course
of the past year, distinguished themselves by their profi-
ciency or skill in the objects ennb. aced by the Society.
Before twelve o'clock the spacious Theatre was crowded, addi-
tional accommodation having been afforded by the erection of a
temporary platform over the orchestra and stage—the whole pre-
liming a most splendid and animating coup d'orit.
At half pest twelve, the art ival of his Royal Highness
the Duke of Sussex, the President of the Society, was
announced; the band of the 3d Regiment of Guards
greeting him on his entrance with the performance of
God save the King.--Having taken the Chair, he very
shortly addressed the Meeting, observing, that as there
was a great deal to be done, the Secretary had better at
once commence the reading of the Report.
Mr. Atria then read the Report, which detailed the
proceedings of the Society during the preceding year,
and also gave a history of the origin of the Society,
under the superintendence of Sir Joshua Reynolds, and
of the progressive improvements that had been made in
it since its establishment, together with the advantages
that it had been the means of conferring on the several
branches of science.

The Report having been concluded, the disbursement
of the prizes took place, the Illustriowchairman con-
descendingly accompanying the presentations with ob-
servations suited to the merits of the ♦arious candidates.

The whole of the prizes baying bees awarded,
The Duke of Susan congratulated the Society on
the i. tei est which its proceedings excited, as was abuts-
dandy shewn by the attendance of so brilliant an
assembly on the present occasion. His Royal High-
Leas observed, that the labours of the Society might in
some degree be estimated, when he stated that it had
expended upwards of 100,0004 in communicating to
the public such inventions, discoveries, and improve-
ments as tended t• the promotion of the arts, manu-
factures, and commerce of the kingdom.
In the name of himself, and of the Society, he thanked the
kleeting for the attention with which it had that day visored its
proceedings—(Applause). The company then separated.

DOW-STREET.

Mr. Thompson, residing in Edinburgh, appeared before Mr.
Hatts,with a young man, named James Sotall,whom he charged with
having intermarried with his daughter, Ann Thompson, his former
wife, Amelia Sharp, being alive. Mr. Thompson produced several
documents, which were laid before the Magistrate by Mr. 114rnier.
Mr. HALLS examined the documents, and said that be could not
commit the prisoner without better evidence.
Mr. Thompson said he could prove that since the marriage of
the prisoner with his daughter, he had issued p:ucess against his
former wife to dissolve their marriage, and as soon as he (Mr.
Thompeoli) heard of the prisoner having another wife alive, he came
to London, and found him residing with his ,hughter, in Brewer.
street, Golden-square, and apprehended him.
The prisoner said that he believed his fust wife was dead, as he
had not heard of her far six years.
Mr. HALLS said, that if Mr. Thompson would Make a deposition
that the prisoner had married his daughter, and that he had a wife
living at the time, he should be detained till a warrant was grained
by the Lord Advocate to remove him to Scotland.
Mr. Thompson said, that the Lord Advocate was in town, and be
would apply to him.
The deposition for detaining the prisoner having been made, he
was remanded.

A woman who has been employed as a nurse, was charged by
Mr. Geery, of Vine-street, St. Martin's-lase, with robbing him of
sixty sovereigns. Her name is Mary Myers. She had been three
weeks in attendance on Mrs. Geery, during her accomkement ; and
on Friday last Mr. Geery brought home sixty sovereigns, and gave
them to his wife. She deposited them in a handkerchief under bet
pillow, and the prisoner lay by ber. After being in bed about an
hour, the prisoner contrived to get the motley from under Mrs.
Geery's head, and left the house. She went from one public-house
to another, squandering the money; and she left twenty-nine sove-
reigns at Mrs. Kendall's, Newcastle-court, Strand.
In her defence she said, that the wife of the prosecutor had given
her the money to take care of it for her.—She was committed.

DRURY•LANE THEATRE.

The new Opera of Aladdix, which has been so lone
in preparati In, was represeitted the first time at this
Theatre on Saturday night. The plot is too familiar
to the readt-rs of the .rahian nights' Entertainments,
and to those who have seen it introduced in mel
to render it necessai y to be rerated. These were three
attractions in the new Opera to produce an andieoce,
namely, Mr. BISHOP': music, the debut of Miss JOHN-
SON as nour.,:akal, and some well executed new scenery,
applicable to the tale. The new actress, allowing fora
List appearaiice, acquitted herself exceedingly well.
Her singing is gracetol, and she mananes her urp r
notes with much skill: Miss Sferraxes performed
Aladdix, and warbled her notes with her usual sweet-
ness. The ..chub was entrusted to SINCLAIR, who ex-
ert 11 him elf with his usual ability. HORN personated
Moarad, the ench inter, and did ample justice to this
very arduous character. The music of Mr. BISHOP has
much merit. It k scientific and chaste, compared with
the romantic flights of sen.e of his cotemporaties, which
suit the taste of the present day. There are a few
reelodies, and cannot fail of becoming pcipular, but. the
Opera, though aided by excellent music, admirable
soigng, and a display of spendid scenery, was given
oit for a second representation amidst disapprobation
and applause. M. Elector sat in the Orchestra, and
was loudly cheered by the audience.

ribbon of the same colour, supporting Italian crape baskets of a

The supplies during the past week have been very good of all
kinds of Grain and of Flour. This morning there is a fair supply
from the adjacent counties, and a good arrival of Oats from the
more distant ports. The trade for Wheat is extremely dull, and for
the best samples the prices are lower than last Monday ; other sorts
have declined full 2s. per quarter. Barley is in so limited demand,
particularly the Malting qualities, that it may be quoted is. to
per quarter cheaper than this day se'rusight. Beans and Peas, not-
withstanding a short supply, are without demand, and prices are
Nearly nominal. Oats meet a very heavy sale at a reduction of is.
per quarter on the terms of last week. The top price of Floor is

" RIOTS IN LANCASHIRE.

FROM THE PRI-TON PILOT OT SATURDAY.
We have been favoured with the following brief
statement of what has taken place in the neighbourhood
of Bury :—" The soldiers fired upon the mob, and
killed six men and one woman; and wounded fifteen,
some of them, it is feared, mot tally. The military
sustained no.injury, except a sligl.t wound received by
the Commanding Officer from a brickbat. The mob
fired in return, but without effect. The mills success-
fully attacked on Wednesday, by the mob, were Messrs.
Munns, at Rosindale Orniroi and Sons, Bacup Hayle
and Co. Rosindale ; Thomas Kaye, Ratinstall; White-
head and Brother, at the same place; It. Rostron,
Edenfield ; Thomas Akin, Chatterton; Harmer and
Sons, Summerseat ;James lititchinsnn, Wood-bill; and
Turners, Ilelnishore. Mr. Haslam's mill, and that
also of Mr. Ashton, were attacked, but being well de-
fended, escaped the fury of the mob, and they are, in
fact, the only establishments that remain uninjured in
the circuit."

Si, ce receiving the preceding, we have ha i some
conversation with an individual who was on the spot.
It wa! at Chatterton where so mmy lives were unfor-
tunately lost. The m b, estimated at 20,000 men, were
proceeding to attack the factory of Messrs. AI n and
Lord, at that plare, when they *ere intercepted by a
pal ty of Dragoons, and a detachment of the 60th Rifle
Corps; but the eff its of the soldiers were ineffectual,
the rioters breaking through the lane in which they were
across the fields towards the factory. Seeing this, the
military also returned, and it was in defence r f the
building, we understand, that she fatal shots were fired.
Six mete and a woman were killed on the spot ; a great
number were wounded, five of whom ate not expected
to live. One of the riflemen also lost his life in the
following manner, according to our informant's state-
ment :—He (the soldier) had followed some seven or
eight of the rioters with menaces, to the vicinity of a
lodge of ss ater, but the latter disclvering that he had no
ammunition left, turned upon him and threw him into the
lodge. This is the account of the man's death that was
current at the place,and as such we give it without vouch-
ing for its authenticity. After the people were killed, Mr.
Grant, the Magistrate, addressed the populace, and in-
treated them to go home ; but they subsequently divided
into two parties, and went in the direction of Bury. At
Messrs. Whitehead's mill, Rawenstall, they promised
not to injure anything, and they kept their word. Four
or five of them called afterwards at the house of a
weaver and asked for meat : but, on his telling them he
was a poor man with a wife and fam ly, they not merely
left the house, but refused to accept the bread he offered.

perhaps, for as much heart as yet abides wi,hin me, her

that it was time to retire. The morning, indeed, had
just begun to show a face scarcely more beautiful, and,
as if jealous of such a rival as Miss admo.

bosom, with a grace which Canova shoold have turned
to marble, and disappeared amidst the crowd who were
pouring out of the room. I remained for some moments
in that state of reverie, which, in my younger days, I
mistook for romance, with the image of the Lady before
me. I was roused from my dream, however, by the
recollection that I was past thirty, and that it Welf five

A. SUPPLY of that Inestimable Medicine, Dr.
SOLOMON'S CELEBRATED CORDIAL BALM
of GILEAD, which is peculiarly efficacious in all Inward Wast-
ings, Loss of Appetite' Indigestion, Depression of Spirits, Tremb-
ling or Shaking of the Hands or Limbs, Shortness of Breath, and
Consumptive Habits. It enriches the Blood, eases the most vio-
lent Pains in the Head and Stomach, and promotes general per-
spiration. By the Nobility and Gentry this Medicine is much
admired, being pleasant to the taste and smell, gently astringing the
fibres of the stomach, and giving that proper tone which a gond
digestion requires. Nothing can be better adapted to help and
nourish the Constitution when broken by habitual debauch with
wine, &c. This Cordial is highly esteemed in the East and West
Indies for nourishing and invigorating the Nervous System, and
acting as a general Restorative on Debilitated Constitutions, arising
from Bilious Complaints contraeted in hot climates.
Also, THE ANTI- lIIPETIGINES; or, SOLOMON'S
DROPS, an effectual cure for such Disorders as originate in a
depraved habit of the body, as Obstinate Eruptions, Undue Eva-
cuations, Chronic Rheumatism, and the consequences of Insidious
Diseases.

It is a truly mild, safe, and effectual Remedy, and the best sub-
stitute hitherto discovered for that dangerous mineral, Mercury.
It is equally well adapted to both sexes and all ages. There are
few families in which its great utility does not admit of easy proof,
as a purifier of the blood, and a promoter of the natural secretions.
II Illustrations of the efficacy of the Cordial Balm of Gilead, and
of the Anti-Impetigines, are given in the Guide to Health, which
1 also contains much Interesting information on Health and Disease,
particularly on the origin and treatthent of such distorders as result
from Imprudence and fashionable Vices.
These medicines are sold by all Medicine Venders, in bottles,
price 11 s. each ; there are also family bottles, prite 53a. containing
four at lls. by which one small bottle is saved. " Sam!. Solomon,

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.

Last evening, after tlse new Farce of Before Breakfast,
which continues nightly to increase in public estimation,
we were introduced, after a twelvemonth's absence, to
our comic friend Jonathan in England. The performance of this
character by ISlevuzws last evening had all the drollery and truth
of former representations, and was (ifopossible) received with in-
creased applause. The cossic manner in which he mingles Ameri.
can liberty with Negro slavery is rich and characteristic iti the ex-
treme. The Song by him was encored, and the repetition was
varied with an excellent and pointed squib at the mania fur specu-
lation.—Beneter, as Sir Leatkrdip Grotssfeede►, supported the part
of the Alderman with his usual ability.—Suman made his 6t st ap-
pearance this season as Agamemnon, and was very favourably re-
ceived.—Kramir had nothing to do but to look very stupid—an
accomplishment in which he particularly excel.. The house was
fashionably attended, and crowded to an overflow.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE,

Yesterday, a fellow named Simms .Arefson was brought up on a
charge of having defrauded a poor woman of five shillings, by means
of gyps and balls. The poor woman had been induced to put down
half-a-crown. part of i•er little capital, with which she was going to
market. She raised an outcry when the cup was raised and the
ban was not there. A bustle ensued, in which her pockets were
emptied, an.i she lost all the money she had about her. The trick
is performed by means of a small black ball of wax, which sticks to
the nail of the performer whenever he wants it.
The prisoner was sent for six weeks to the tread-mill, as a rogue
and vagabond; and the woman was reprimanded for her cupidity.
GUILDHALL

William Pitt appeared on a summons for assaulting Miss Susan
Carpenter, the daughter of Mr. Carpenter. the confectioner, in Fleet-
street. Both the maid-servant and Miss Susan swore that Mr. Pitt
threw the latter down, in dragging her front behind the counter, to
oblige her to give place to Mrs. Carpenter. Mr. Pitt wished to
call evidence that Miss Carpenter used abusive language to her
mother ; hut the Alderman declined entering farther into the case,
the assault being proved, and ordered Mr. Pitt to find bail. Mr.
Carpenter, however, withdrew his charge. upon Mr. Pitt assuring
him he would never interfere in his family disputes again.
Basernotoaraw Fain.—Several cases, the result of this fair, pre-
sented themselves yesterday. A woman stated that she bad been
in Smithfield at half past one on Sunday morning, and several per-
sons having been standing behind her, opposite a show, she observed
the back of her gown-wet, and a man's person indecently exposed,
whom she gave in charge. She further stated that another female,
nor present, could confirm her statement.
'I he prisoner, a labouring man, denied the offence, and was re-
minded till to-morrow, that the other female might have an oppor-
tunity of appearing against him.
Christopher Cl trke. a jeweller in Plough-court, Fetter-lane, char-
ged a woman with passing a bad shilling to a friend of his, for half
a pound of gingerbread nuts. The woman was remanded for two
days, that the Solicitor cf the Mint might be able to attend, and
conduct the prosecution.
James Warn, 68, Jewin-street, charged an apprentice with ab-
s•racting from drawers in his bed room, thirty-five marked shillings.
The boy was fully committed.
Mr. Dobbs, a black lead pencil maker, in New Bridge-street,
Blackftiars, charged his journeyman with a similar offence. The
prisoner was remanded till Thursday.
