AUGUST n. TILE D 1111.11.1. M A RIK ET.•011 TULA ay, Garrick's C►rce of Bun Tun was revived, in our opinion, much to the d►s.. credit of the Manager, for every thing in it is obsolete but its indecency, and that unfortunately is the growth id' every age as well as every clime. %VV. UN EtiDA V.—The saute observations will apply to another revival on Wednesday evening. 'The Flitch of Bacon, with all the chariais of • its simple music has so little chastity about it, that we, could be well content to see it, with a hundred more of the last age, consigned au total oblivion. COVENT-GrAROFN THEATItE.—It is the intention of the Managers, on the ensuing Season, to exclude all the wax lights hung round the house, in lieu of which an immense chand elier will be suspended in the mid dle of the Theatre with gas. The e‘perimeat has been tried, and it produces a brilliant effect -upon all parts of the house. Tuesday evening the Edinburgh Theatre re-opened with the Opera of Love in a when Mr. SlN ci.vin and Miss Sri PUENS made their appearance in the characters of Young Meadows and Rosetta. Mr. R.%YMOND is now actively employed in making arrangements for the opening of Drury-Lone Theatre, the ensuing month, with much novelty both of pieces end performers. Field Marshal Prince BLUCHER is daily expected in .the grand Duchy of Mecklenburg. tie intends to use the baths of Dobbcrau, and afterwards to pass some time at Hamburg. Several meetings of the Alien merchants have been - held, in consequence of an intimation -that the .Cor • poni.lon of London are adopting measures for ensuring the bona. fideoullection of -the duties accruing to the City Chamber, upon gxiols entered outwards or in wards, within the port of London, being the property of Aliens not naturalized. The complaint adduced on t:te part of the City is, that this branch of its revenue has considerably &Von oil' during the last '2O years, owing to the practice of entering such merehandize in, the names .of British subjects. It is urged, in a me morial presented to the Corporation by the Alien Tra ders, that the collection of such a tax may tend to di vert the capital of Aliens front the metropolis w the outports. The facility of many of the London Editors in beneving all the untininded assertions of the riotous and disaffected, relative to the late unhappy events, is not less disgraceful to their understanding, titan to their character as Englishman. A contemptible wretch, one Ilcoisham, has with most barefaced im pudence, accused some of the most respectable gentle men in the county of York, with having endeavoured t t suborn him to give false evidence against the Hud derstield rioters ; and this wretch's statement finds in stant belief, even with the -Times, a paper, which on most occasions, displays something like common sense. The Leeds Intellig,encer, however, u paper to which the well disposed part of society is under many °Mi. ft.:lions, has given .a complete refutation of the lies which this fellow had fabricated, for the purpose of gaining the confidence of his old comp•anions in iniquity, %whose safety he had compromised, by the alacrity with which he came forward to give evidence against, them. The conclusion •of the article alluded to in the Leeds Intelligencer, is so strong a refutation of those sweeping assertions which have for some time -been impudently made by the Murring Chronicle, that the disturbances in various parts of the country were oc casioned by what the Editors of that paper call the instigations of " spies" and " informers," that we trust our readers will be gratitied by its insertion. •• It is with the utmost solemnity we call the publi.: attention to these .roncluding observatioas, and that we pledge ourselves fir their truth, the plan and hope M toe insurgrnts was to have marched in silence, into Hudderstiekl, after they have been joined by the numer ous other parties of rioters, who ;tad not yet come up to the bridge, when the yeomanry tell in with them, and to have entle.nvoured to surprise the military, and the civil authorities, in which event they would have been strong touug!i. before morning, to have kept pos. se=sion. of Iltatileritield tor at least sonic days, and to have cum toeneed their spenittons of rapine and murder on an extensive scale. These, we repeat, arc facts. They did not come out on the recent trials, because the prisunersswere arraigned unlytor the burglary at Dyson's, and for the actual outrage at the bridge ; and any eircsno . trance;, not directly raiding to eiiiiviet them of these isolated crimes, could nut, of course, be brought under the cognizance of the Jury. .When the trials of the indivuals charged with high trewon, how ever, come on. the ultimate object of taw conspirators riq be proved. Those eircunistances, which we have stated, and many more of deeper import, will come ti,t in evidence oral the public will have it de. Inuastratethe them, that the massacre of individual:, as well as the overthrow of m opetty and of the laws, was determined upon.

A letter dated Nuremberg, .laly 22, says—" The amicable and close connection which subsists between Russia and England is proved by the order for English cloths to clothe the Russian army. The manufactories at Leeds have taken into employ many hundreds of workmen who were without work and Jibed. The or der is not, in • itself, of any great importance, but it has afforded to the English agents an opportunity i hr introducing other woollen mauufactures and to submit other propositions." The friends al' Mr. Wookr, lately tried for libel, dined together on Thursday, at the Eagle Tavern, City Road, to celebrate as it was termed, his triumph on that occasion. A Mr. Elliott was in the chair, and arming the towns given was " The King and the Save. reignity of the People."—" Mr. Wooler and his un daunted •spirit."—" Mt. Pearsan," the solicitor who was professionally employed on Mr. Woehr's trial— " Mr. Hone."—" Major Cartwright"—" Sir F. Bur dett." What a community ! The next toast was, " May skins be turned into parchment, and the rights of men be written thereon." A proposition was made to constitute the present= annual meeting, but it was opposed by Mr. Wooler and withdrawn. The speeches • delivered were, as might be supposed chiefly in con ' detonation of the Miuisteral systems of politics, and in praise of the trial by Jury.

Regiment. arrived at Trim, in a pod-chinse and four, attended by two servants. Immediately alighting at the prison, they were 'hewn to the apartment in which Mr. O'Connor had been lodged a short time pee%tous. and which was prepared, with much good feel ing and consideratioo, for his reception. A crowd of payers col lected round the entrance to the goad on the quality of the visitors being ascestiiined. and in a few u.inutes the news of the arrival of these distinguished persons spread with more than ordinary rapidity, and draw into the town a vast concourse of people, liilXlol.ls fort view Of Sir Francis Burdett. _ . . . Dn Saturday and Sunday the town was completely inundated by arrivalr from Dublin aid the surrounding counties, namy of them pers.oniv , of distinction and political notoriety. Sir Francis Burdett, from the anxiety which was manifested in all so WC him, seeimll to be as much the object of attraction as the trial of Mr• O'Cunnur. The charges for accommodation, from the caantinuAl ingress of visitors. at length became so extravagantly high that two guineas were, in some cases, considered competitively reasonableterms tbr a bed.—The Gentlemen's seats contiguous to Trim were occupied by crowds of friends.; and, from the must splendid man sion to the humblest cot, so great seas the pre-occupation, scareali had or hoard was to be had.

Francis Burdett and Mr. O'Connor's sun sat. at the Traverser's bar, in front of the dock. it being cleared foethern by the High Shezitt; the Court was crowded to excess; and from the moment Mr. O'Connor made his appearance, until he withdrew, the most re spectful silence prevailed. He was dressed in blue, end looked ex tremely well; has deportment was dignified, he had a smile on his countenance dtuing the entire time, and from the bar saluted some gentlmen in Court; the indictments were not ready, and after Mr. O'Conner had stood for upwards of half an hour at the bar, the Sub-Sheriff handed a chair into the dock, when Mr. O'Connor sat down at ten minutes past tive o'clock.

Mr. Bennet said, he trusted it would not be opposed Mr. Serjeamt Jebb, leading Counsel fen the prosecution, said lie would not oppose it. Mr. Bennet replied, that was just what he expected.

While in Court hewas saluted by a large numbea of persOns he bowed repeatedly to those around him ; frequently smiled, and seem ed chew tel and compe•ed. l'he Dublin papers received yesterday, announce that Mr. O'Con nor was acquitted on Tuesday Evening at nine o'clock, after a trial of eleven hears.
