Monday se'nnight, a robin, with a white head and
neck and red breast, was shot in the town of Chad.
It had for some time past been familiar in, it family,
which it daily visited fur food.
Thursday a hawk was seen chasing a partridge, in
Chichester, which, however, escaped from its adver-
sary by dropping down into the North-street, and was
caught alive by a little boy.
On the 21st ult. there came ashore between Staxigo
and Wick, near the Boathaven, a whale measuring
66 fleet .5 inches, which was killed by the Buckey
fishermen, but claimed by Sir BENJAMIN Doi:n*ll4 as
Lord of the Manor, and by the Panvuer of Wick,
on the part t.I the Crown. Before these contending
interests could be reconciled, however, a heavy g ale
and a tremendous sea broke the whale to pieces, and
tossed the fragments in every direction.
Saturday se'nnight, as two fishermen from the pa.
risk of Ruth well were traversing the Sands of the Sol-
way Frith, opposite to the Ptiestside,-about tour miles
withio high water mark, they discovered a whale
floundering in the shallow water, and endeavouring
in vain to extricate itself from its perilous situation.
It was groaning so loud as to be heard at the distance
of nearly a mile. The fishermen, astonished and ter
rifled, used no means of securing the monster, and
the tide soon afterwards flowing. covered it, without,
however, affording it sufficient depth to float. When
the sea retired, it was found dead, quickly cut in
pieces, and the blubber carried to shore in carts.—
This whale seems to have been of the Nutwisal, or
Morsodon genus; differing, however, in some particu-
lars, Irons any unit we have yet seen described.
Last week, David Anderson, residing near Pow.
pone, was untottu lately drowned in the river Tay.
It appears he had gone at low water upon the sands,
for the purpose of going on board a vessel of which
he was the owner ; but was unable to make himself
beard by the crew, and being speedily surrounded by
the rising tide, he could not extricate himself. al-
though he had stripped off his clothes and attempted
to save himselt by swimming.
Friday se'nnight, between the hours of seven and
eight o'clock, as Mr. Clark, of Hoddesdon, was Ira.
veiling with a horse and cart between Braughing and
Hare-street, be was stopped near the village of Das.l
salts, by a toorpad, who knocked him down and inn.
bed him of Banknotes to the amount of diS and some
silver. The villain beat him most unmercifully ; his
thigh was broken and terribly lacerated. besides being
dreadfully bruised on various parts of his body.
Such is the progress of the Slave Trade, that, ac-
cording to the last *deices from Cuba, there had
arrived no less than eleven Guineamen, full of vic-
tims from Africa. The immense extent to which the
traffic had teen condected bad more than supplied
the demand, and the consequence was, that the sale
of this human commodity was. in the commercial
phrase. extremely dull. It was reported, but we
with reluctance credit it, that there were 70(X) of these
Wompulsory emigrants in the military bat racks of the
port undisposed of, some of them infauts not exceed-
ing eight years old.
Coalmine's Imusers.—An Inquisition was taken

man unbuckled the reins, and threw them over the
back of the horses, and was getting off the ctiach-
hos. when the horses, having no one at their heads,
setoff; he ran out of the house, and found the de-
ceased dashed against-the wall, the coach overturned,
and a Young woman dreadfully hurt; he sent fori
medical assistance, but the deceased died in his arms
in less than a minute after he took him off the ground.
His head was cut open, and blood poured from his
mouth and eyes ; he was carried into the Spencer's
Arms, as also the female, who appeared dreadfully
hart. Verdict—Accidental death.
Sumas EVENT.—An inquisition was taken yes-
terday, at the Goat, Lower Grosvenor.street, on the
body of Mrs.. Mary Read, wife of Mr. Read, of the
Hotel, Nit. 76, Lower Grosvenor-street, who was
apparently in good health en Friday, ate a hearty
ewer on Friday night, and was found dead by her
buthand, lying' by his side, on Saturday morning.
A 'surgeon was sent for, who said that she died of an
apoplectic fit.. Verdict—Died by the visitation of
Gov, la a fit of apoplexy.
A young man, of Keadby, in Lincolnshire, hav-
ing bees in a poor state of health for a considerable
time, and nothing that he tooleappearinig to relieve

o farrier of some notes the latter advised him to drink

THEATRES.

DRVRY.LANE.—Mr. MAYWOOD made his second
appearance last night in the part of Skylark, and
frilly
confirmed the favourabl- impression which his first
performance of the character had given us of his
talents. He was evidently more in confidence—more
at his case—and was thus enabled to give to the whole
of Lis representation of the part a generally superior
erect. The Play was followed by the Fame of The
Gabler of Preston. revived, after a slumber of 49 years
in the nom pter's chest. This Piece is no other than an
alteration of tl:e prelude to ?.tie Taming of the Shrew,
and was the production, about one hundred years ago,
of Mr. CHARLES JOHNSOSI, one of the minor wits of
the day in which Poem flourished, and is alluded to
in his Duneind.— Kit Sly, the Cobler (MUNDEN) in the
present piece, is continually besotting himself with
ale and politics, which at once- offend his wife and
Jolly, a loyal country gentleman, his neigh-
h..or, (Salmi), whose daniihter Marian, (Miss Co-
ati .; ). is coo:tett by Sir Charles Briton. Sir Charlet
is fond of linking, and folding one morn;ng as he
was proceeding to his sport, Sly, asleep, in liquor,
orders him to be conveyed to his house in that condi-1
'ion, and put into a sumptuous bed, while the servants,
have orders to treat him as a nobleman of rank. The
ni;k is put in practice, and ploceeis just in the way I
the author found it in SHAKESPEARE. Ka, upon his
waking, is surprised out of his wits ; but being fond
of ale, he soon calls•for some, and is reconciled. He
is told that he has been asleep for fifteen years, and
that he is agreasgraedee. Servams sot round him, east
the gorgeous finery of a Spanish Nobleman glisteni:
rn the Cobkr's wretched garb. But he soon laments'
his elevation when he learns that his house is stir--
rounded by sqldiers, who come to execute him for
treason. llis penitence now produces a ludicrous
conlestion of his real sins, and he is in the end happy
to lay down his finery and retain the head of a Colder.
—MUNDEN, as Kit Sly, was excellent—on the stage
we never saw a more ludicrous object than was ex-
hibiled when attired in the hat and the cloak of the
Spanish (grandee; he appeared blinded by the roof.
mous ruff put round his neck, and respectfully
;lined 1... s attendants to favour him with a ..little dog
and a string to save him from breaking his bones."
The Farce was for the most part very well acted;
and a Bacchanalian glee by Comsat and the two
SMITHS, deserved and obtained the most unqualified
approbation. There was one thing in the piles
which seemed particularly to excite the audience, and
that was a short examination of the poor Cella, where,
when charged as a traitor, he declares his only treason
to consist in an over-ardent fondness for ale. TM
audience seemed to apply this by loud acclamations.
COVENT GANDEN.—A new Musical Play, in three
Acts, was last night acted for the first time, entitled,
The Dais of Saves j or, WO and /Warm.
The Characters and Plot are as follow :
Charles (Duke of Savoy) - Mr. Ifonsta.
/doodad (his thief General) Mr. Roe &TOM
Vt Courey (an tinker in the French Army,
and Nephew to MoOdoni) Mr. Jour,.
Le Noir (his fellow-travellers and Celesta to
Mdndoni) Mr. LISTOK.
Precede (a Ueneral of Moadoni's, and the
Senate's Party) Mr. Cornea.
Lodevico (an (Meer of the same Party) Mr. Jarring*.
Podrida (tviajor-deaso to Mondani) Mr. FA WCITT.
Lealto • • Mr. DURCISST.
Countess Lindorf . Mrs. Otese.
Cassandra (supposed• Witch of the Alps) Mrs. FAUCIT.
Rosalie BRUNTeIf.
Niuette Miss STSPOISIPIS.
liaptbta Mrs. DAVRIS PORT.
Charles Duke of Savoy being compelled to take refuge in Ger-
mans from the inclusions otthe French, after several yews watt
is suddenly recalled by the estraordiaary success of Musdeed, so
adventurous Geneva, who having made himself master of
Chamberry. the Duke is restored to his throne. Mondani is
raised to the tide of Marquis, and invested with the chief sans-
mead; but Ids antbetioss hopes soaring higher, he runes the
Duke a prisoner, and having plaid the Senate, aspires to usurp
the Dukedom. Rinaldo, sad a party et loyal troops without the
walls, threaten to release their Ile* Master; repeated skis.
welshes take place, sod Monterrey le about to be declared in a
sta:e of liege. At this time arrive at an inn in the neighbour-
hood of the city the repudiated wife of Charles, the Doke, tra-
velling under the seasoned Dense of Countess Liadorf, with her
prate*, Rosalie, who is totally unacquainted with her birth and
family. Having trashed their destination, it is here the Countess
informs her of the ciresatimusee of Indio' her in a digressed
situation, with Manche, in the Forest of Montbelliard, and that,
according to the informatum of Blanche, she (Rosalie) is the
daughier of the Duke, by Pauline, his Mistress, who had been
the cause of all the Duchess's misfortunes. Rosalie, upon bear-
ing this, resolves to eater Chamberry, which she fortunately
effects. Sbe is lamed and assisted by De Gorey and Le Nair,
the beater of whom bad been instrumemal in saving her hie on
Mount S. Renard. Pauline, who previous to her coons:ion
with the Duke had been married to Moodoni, in Genoa, regret-
ting her termer mode of life and willing in some measure :o re-
pair the miter, she bad occasioned, escapes iron Alba Castle,
whets she had been detained by Mondani, and assuming the
name and appearance of Cassandra, the supposed Witch of Mt
Alps, hilondoors guards, terrified at her appearance' suffer her
to peas and repass the barrier at pleasure, and she finally rescues
the Duke sad Rumba from the power of the Oppressor. The
Play ends with the onion of De Courcy and Rosalie, and the re-
ludas of the Doke and Duchess.
This Play is said'to have been sent from America
by Mr. HOLMAN. There are some flashes of plea-
santry which caused loud laughter, and some touches
of feeling which 'receised a tribute of deserved ap-
plause; but these ate not met with sufficiently often
to make the Play, in its present form, a lasting favou-
rite. Much may be done by curtailment; but we
are fearful the great strength thrown into the cast can
never be made so effective as to satisfy the Public
when their expectations have been raised unusually
high, as they must be by the perusal of such a bill of
Farr.—The Overture and Music, by Btsuoe, received
great applause; as did some beautiful Scenery, ex-
hibited, for the first time, in the course of the Play.
A Duet, ty Miss STEPHENS and Mr. DIMWIT, was
loudly encored; but at the end considerable disappro.
!ration was expressed, and the tumult raised by the
contending parties was so great, that when Mr. Yovso
attempted to announce the Piece for a second repre-
sentation, it was impossible to hear what he said.

Wcdaesday, as Mr. and Mrs. W. hots were pass.
ing in a gig from Wehtbromwich L..dge to Birming-
ham, the hone suddenly wok fright, when both of
them were thrown out. and Mrs. lion was killed.
A great number of persons flocked to Union.liall yes-
terday, expecting that Owen, who is in horsemonger-
.l.ine Gaol on the charge of attempting to murder
Mr. Jones, his wife, and servant, would be brought
'up for examination, but. they were disappointed. '1 he
surgeons give great hopes that Mrs. Jones and the
servant will in a short tinge be able to attend and give
evidence. Mr. Jones is still in great danger. The
wound in the throat is inflamed, but the surgeons give
hopes of his ultimate recovery. The examination Zia
put off fora week.
