On Saturday evening last, a crowded
audience -witnessed the opening of the new
Theatre- The old favorites were receiv

tint house were much admired The fol

by Charhs Sprague, Esq. Boston, and
which was spoken hy Mr. Simpson. It
was altogether well received.: the versi
fication.is neat and smooth, and the effect
would have been heightened if a few pa
triotic allusions had been introduced, ap
plicable to the occasion,

When mitred zeal, m wild, uriholy days,

The Stage! where fancy sits creative

TVhere young-eyed wonder comes to feast

And quaff instruction while b« drinks de

The Stage! that threads each labyrinth of
the soul,
Wakes laughter’s peal, and bids the tear

That hoots at folly, mocks proud fashion’s
slaves,
And brands with shame the world’s vile
drove of knaves.
The child ofgonins, cate ring for the Stage,

HYDROPHOBIA AND SCULL CAP.

“.Dear ,Sir:—Y'utr anxiety

induced me -o sausfy you in relation 1"'
tnyseif I was tut by a mad dog in Alex-
Audits, nave been cured by the use c.
AKull-cap, sfur having been in one stage of.
hydrophobia; A confirmation of the ate
of any weed, particularly such an one as
grow s so plentifully as the scuU cap a
mongour hills-and 'dales, must, I think,
he hailed with some degree of respect by
the human family; but how much more
grateful must 1 feel to him with whom
this all important discovery originated, I
leave you to judge after reading my case.
I will simply state it to you :
“About U»e middle of May las*, I left
this place for Baltimore, via Alexandria,
, D. C. On my arrival in the latter place,
1 visited a wharf at w hich lay the George
town packet; (this was on Friday, the
, 25th of May ) la passing along the wharf,
a large dog ran towards and bit me severe
ly iii the leg. I feh somewhat alarmed,
but being told, what was geneia’ly be
lieved, that the dog was not mad, I was
reconciled. However, by the advice of
some friends, I procured, before 1 left the
town, some of the scull-cap. On the 7th
day after i was bit, feeling, 1 thought,
somewhat differently than usual, I com
menced drinking the. scull-cap tea, agree-,
ably to the directions which 1 hadieceiv
ed. Outlie morning of the 9th day after
I w’as bit, 1 arrived at Mr. Allen Dorsey’s,
Poplar Spring, Md. on my way home from
Baltimorei on silling down to breakfast,
Mrs. Dorsey handed me a cup often, which
I repeatedly tried to drink, but could not,
and had to spit out the victuals I but just
put in my mouth. I felt something like
spasms over my whole system, indeed,
my dear sir, my feelings were shocking,
dreadful, indescribable.; my eyes became
dim, head dizzy, Ac. 1 arose from the ta
ble, went to the window, the door —Mrs.
D. can betier describe my situation than
I can. After some time, 1 became more
at ease, and had some of the scull-cap
prepared, which 1 drank with difficulty.
Not in the habit of drinking any thing
stronger than water, 1 asked for some good
wine, which I obtained, and forced my
self to drink of it copiously. Aftersome
stay, I pressed towards home, but tlie'
next morning fasting as usual, drank the
scull-cap tea, and felt much better ; and
have cortinued to drink it from that time
lo the present, and do verily believe it
has restored me to my family sane and in
perfect health. ,

A Hedged case of Murder
On Thursday last, the trial of Daniel
Wagiion occurred in this county, who
stood chanted with the murder of his
wife, Mrs Elizabeth Wagnon, on the 13th
of May last. This case had excited much
interest, and perhaps no instance has eve •
happened In which public opinion was
more completely forestalled, and in which,
prejudices were mere extensively circa-,
luted than in this. His honor Judge Strong
presided witli great ability and impartial
ity on this occasion: Solicitor-General
Saffold represented the state, aided by"
Messrs. Steel, Thomas, Staples and Lump
kilt; the prisoner was defended by Mt ssis.
Cobb, Dawson and Moore. After an es
aminatiyn of between twenty and thirty re
speciable witnesses, which occupied die
greater part of the day, a proposition Was
made by the counsel for the prisoner to
submit the case to the jury, under the
charge of the court; which was promptly
assented to by the Solicitor-General.—
The fact of the killing was not denied and
was clearly proven—For the acquittal ol
the prisoner, the plea of insanity was sole
ly relied on which was demonstrated by
such a host of witnesses, embracing his
neighbors as well as medical gentlemen,
an that no rational or well grounded doubt
existed in the minds of impartial specta
tors, as to the insanity of the prisoner, at
the time of the perpetration oftheunfor
tuoatc act.
The charge of the Judge, as to the law,
and the application of the law' to the facts
before the jury, produced the acqui tat
of the prisoner.
The final issue of this investigation evin
ces conclusively, the impropriety of in
dulging in the excess of public prejudice
arising from common i~um«r.
HEALTH OF THE TOM H.
As far as we have been able to learn,
the sickness in the unhealthy part of the
town has considerably abated; and it is
evident to all that the number of deaths
has diminished fur the last two days.
It is a painful isct, that .probably one
half of the deaths which have taken place
in the infected part, were occasioned by
the want of the common necessaries and
comforts of life, proper care and assis
tance, and in some cases by an imprudent ’
use of med : cines, We are happy io hear,
however, that proper steps have been la ,
ken for the relief ol the survivors in that
devoted neighborhood. The sick have
been removed to the hospital. Soup and
other necessaries have been ordered to be
distributed to those that remain, and a
physician appointed to attend them if ta
ken eick We have no hesitation in as.
cribing to these salutary measures, the
visible check that has already been given
to the ruthlese hand of death in that quar
ter.
Oj’Since writing the above, we have
ascertained from undoubted authority that
there has not been » case of malignant fe
ver during the las: three days.— -Noifoik
Herald, 12 th inst.
Extract ol a letter totha editor of the Pc
tersburg Intelligencer, dated
“Noufoik, 11th Sept. 1821.
“Since my last, things have become so
extremely alarming here, that people are
half crazy. The extreme severe storm
has apparentlygiven fresh violence to the
malignant fever; and instead of one or
two dying daily, six or eight, and many
think mure ; and among these are some of
our most respectable citizens. Many are
removing in all directions, leaving fewer
certainly for the fever to act on ; but per-.
haps too few, either to protect the town
and take care of the sick, or bury the dead
should a groat increase be the result.
“ The disease still remains chiefly con-,
fined to the lower part of town, and most
completely bailies the skill of our physi
cians, so that if a man is taken he is gone.
The season hasa lung time yet to run be
fore we can expect lo get clear, as 1 fear
nothing now will dispur.se the cause, but
uard frosts; to that ere this is the case the
, whole tow n may be overrun.”

03* The news from Europe, in our pa
per of this morning* is of the most interest
ing character. The report of the recog.
nition of the independence of S. America,
wears an air of authority 4 and if true, will
be hailed with proud gratulation by eve
ry friend of libetty. The Greek insurrec
tion begins to wear a more Interesting and
formidable aspect. We present our rea
ders with some sanguinary details, which
are not to be exceeded by the bloodiest
crusades of “ olden time.** The conflict
iug interests with which this struggle
must be viewed by the potentates of Eu
rope, may probably, materially affect the
political attitude of that quarter of the
globe, and involve it again in the vortex
of a desolating warfare. We have delay
ed our paper until this hour, and omitted
a great deal of other matter, to enable us
to make our extracts as copious ue possi
ble.

By the Brig Maryland, 11 days from

New-York, September 10.
One day Late> from Loudon.
The General Green, has arrived at
Boston, from Halifax, bringing Halifax
papers to the 29th of August. The Bri
tish Packet Sartdwich, f.>r New-York, had
arrived at Halifax with London papers of
the 17-th nf July, one day later titan be
fore received.
The most interesting articles which
we have .extracted are in relation to Tur
kish affairs, and are indicative of an im
mediate war between Russia and the
Porte.
The establishment at St. Helena, is or
dered to be reduced to a captain’s com
mand. The establishment at the Cape of
Good Hope is also to be lessened.
The Halifax Free Press contains the
act of Parliament, of the 27th of May
last, establishing the duties on the impur ,
> tat ion of timber into Great-Britain, and
granting drawbacks. This act contains a
provision “ that the several sorts of wood
and timber enumerated and being the
growth or production of the countries
bordering on the province of Quebec, or
on the province, of Upper or Lower Ca
nada, and having been brought by land or'
inland navigation into the said provinces,
and imported from the said provinces in
to Great Britain, at any time after passing
shall he subject and liable to the like du
ties as if such wood and timber had been
imported into Great Britain directly from
any of the-United States ot America.”

The Qi/re’i.—The report that the
Queen has taken a house in Great George
street seems to be not true. We
were willing to credit it, because, that
street being within all the barriers, she
might proceed from it, on Mie morning
of the Coronation, to make whatsoever
claim admission she pleases, without ha
zarding the public tranquility. All that
is alledged to be required of her feelings
—all that might be held to humble in a
voluntary absence from a ceremony, of
which the Privy Council has declared that
she has no right to form a part—whatsoe
ver might be represented asdisadvantagr.
ousin so decorous a submission All this
might be prevented, all her claims might
be fully made and formally recorded, with
ease to herself and others
No alteration of the Queen’s intention
has yet been announced. A former co
lumn contains some statements upon this
subject- Yesterday, as if the ample Re
ports, given by the newspapers of Mr.
Brougham’s argument on her claim to be
crowned were not sufficient, what is cal
led an “ official publication” of it was
made, to which the following precise no
tice was affixed.
“ Her Majesty has been pleased to
command that the grounds of her claim i
to be crowned, as stated by Her Majesty’s
Attorney-General before the Lords of the |
Privy Council, should be mode public.

To,gratify our numerous.friemls, vve this

account of’ tiie splendid pi occasion,-which

The'-Queen went in her state carriage
and demanded aclmiskiow -to the Abboy,
which was either declined or refused, to
her Majesty at several doors, flnslead-ot
giving (says an anti-ministerial paper)
loose details of this ungracious occurrence,
we insert the following official account of
her Majesty’s unsuccessful visit.
-Queen’s House, July ,19, 1823..
“ Her M.jesiy set out from her house, in
; South Audley-street, and proceeding thro’
the Parks to Westminster Abbey, went to
r Oeuii's-yard, where her Majesty got out of
. her carriage, in expectation cf being al
lowed to enter, but was refused at two
doors of entrance 5 and her carriage having
drawn offi her Majesty was obliged to wait
in the passage till it was called back, when
her Majesty proceeded towards .Poet’s
Corner, and again got out of her carriage
; in Old Palace-yard, and sought admittance
by two temporary doors, which, upon her
Majesty’s approach, were shut in her face ;
afer which, some of the people point
ed out the opening to the platform.
—Upon ascending this her Majesty
was again obstructed by the police offi
cers, till an officer, it is believed of the
Guards, politely allowed her Majesty to
cross the platform, and her Majesty walk
ed from thence to Old Palace-yard, and
entered first the passage to Cotton gar
den; after which her Majesty proceeded
along the covered way to Poel’-s Corner,
and, when arrrived at .the door, was r- ftis
ed admittance without rickets ; upon
which Lord Hood observed, he did not
suppose the Queen required a ticket of
admission; to which one of the .persons
appointed for the admission pf-the compa
ny observed, he did not know the Queen,
and positively forbade her Majesty from
entering; and one of Ike poor .Knights of
, Windsor came up and said there was no
ptace for her Majesty. Finding every ef
fort to gam admittance ineffectual, her
Majesty returned to her carriage, at d pro
ceded through Whitehall, Pall-mall, and
St. James’s street, Picadilly, to her house,
attended by an immense coucuu se of
people, manifesting their respect lo th- ir
Queen, and expressing their indignation
at the unexampled treatment experienced
by her Majesty, Although the different
persons at the door of the Abbey were all
under orders to say they did not know her
.Majesty, it is to be observed that her Ma
jesty came in the royal state carriage, and
that the. Guards, w-lierever she passed, pre
sented arms.” 1
A correspondence between the Queen
and the Aichbishop of Canterbury, and
with Lord Stdmoutli, will be found in a
subsequent column. Her Majesty’s pro
test against the decision of the privy coun
cil will be given if our limits admit.
The accounts trom Turkey are of a ve
ry contradictory nature, though upon the
whole, the Greeks appear not to be los
ing ground. The Paris papers say that
Bucharest had just been delivered from
the Turks by a precipitate flight, which
ia attributed to the approach of another
army besides that of Ypsilanti. The Rus
sians, it was said had entered Galez, and
were advancing, by forced matches, to
wards the Balkans ; and it was affirmed
that they had received orders not to stop
until tney had reached Constantinople.—
A Paris article of July 2'J, says, extraordi
nary news received from the frontiers of
Moldavia, announces (hat the Russian
troops had enteoed that territory, and that
they had several engagements with the
Turkish forces.
Other accounts seem to discourage the.
idea of hostilities with Russia; but as it'
is agreed, on all hands, that the Porte has
not relaxed, but ra'her increased, in its
■cruelties towards the Greeks, notwith
i islanding the remonstrance of the Russian
j Ambassador, there is little doubt pf hos
-1 tiliues between the two powers.
