Diouf- Lax t. .—On Thurfday, night anew Corneal', the produetion of Mr. CHERRY, of this Theatre, was performed, for the Kill time, entitled, A Day is London; in which the following Dramatis Perfona were employ • ed, being the principal comic ilrength of the houfe : Melange - . Mr. BANNISTER. Captain Import . Mr. Dr CAMP. Sir George Dapple - Mr. Russet.. Volteur - . Mr. H. SIDDONS. Sir Sampfon Import - Mr. CHEERY. Mr. Briar . - Mr. RAYMOND. Ifaachar - . Mr. WEWITZER.

Maria Briar - - Mlfs Rwir. The dramatic pi lure here fet before the Public, exhibits two young wives married to o:d men, one of whom gives her whole time to fathionable coxcombs to pleafe her hufband, while the other runs away from tier's with a libertine, on Platonic principles.— We have alfo two pair of lovers, who are ultimately united, without having had an interview with each other through the piece ; a fentimental declaimer, profeffing love in mafquerade to his own filler ; a philanthropift, in the difguife of a Cynic; and an Irifh recruiting ferjeant, whorfets up for the protettor of female innocence. Such are the materials with which Mr. CHERRY has conftruCted a Play, that occupies nearly four hours in the reprefentation ; the language of which is very laboured without being coned, and much more fentimentzl than witty. From beginning to end there is not one good lunation, but the author manifefts a fuperabundance of patriotifm and loyalty, which is laid on fb injudicioufly as frequently to ex cite murmurs inflead of applaufe. The performance of the Play, however, was tole rated to the end, fupported as it was by moil admi rable ading ; but when BANNISTER came forward to give it out for a fecond reprefentation, a moft tre mendous uproar broke forth, which ended in his making a bow and retiring, without being permitted to declare his melTage. This was followed by an Zpilogue of no great point, delivered by Mifs DUN can, but highly applauded on account of the per former. A Prologue preceded the Comedy, given by BARTLEY, which befpoke candour and forbear ance, which certainly were not withheld. In a word, if A Day in London is to be received as a running piece, it mutt undergo ample curtailment. The Theatre was extremely crowded. Mr. CHERRY'S Comedy, reduced an hour by Shrew! bury clock in the time of its reprefentation, was tall night repeated, but went off very flatly. 0-WENT GARDEN.—Laft night was thrulli between the little C..medy of the Birth Day, and the panto mime of Mother Goole, a new Mufical Piece, of two ACts, intitled Whiffle for it;"—the produBion, as we underftand, of an amateur writer of the name of LAMB!, and which comes recommended by the fa fhionable world. RefpeCting the merits of this baga telle we (hall be brief:—as a vehicle for mulic it fur nifhed Irici.snon with an opportunity of difplaying the powers of his fine voice to advantage, and the vivacity of FAWCareaaeling gave fome eclat to a few attempts at humour, which, in other hands, world have been entirely loft. Mrs. Lis-row:and Mifs Bot.- vow, exerted themfelves alfo to the utmoft to prolong the life of this ricketty bantling, but with little effeCt. The rude gale of laft night nearly gave it its quietus. The meagre title, " Whillle for It," relates to a fignal which operates to effe& the liberation of two lovers from the cuflodi of a banditti. A (tale flory, but thought to have been finely managed by the au dience at the Marquis of A asacoan's privateTheatre. The Song!, of which we fubjoin a fpecimen, are taflefully written, and the Mufic by Mr. LANZA, has much merit in its adaptation. SONG. Now the muzzy toper dofes; Round their tables gantefters frown ; Mute the rural plain rep:go ; Mirth and noife awake the town. 'Tie the time for feafting, brother, Fill the cans with liquor high ; As we drain them—N bring another," Still dull be our cheerful cry. Craft in knaves, in fools their folly Can by floods of wine be drown'd; Wine, while waking, makes us jolly— Sleeping, makes our Oumbers found. DUBLIN, APRIL 7. Yellerday morning. at tee o'clock, the Commit fioners appointed for hearing evidence on the petition of Jona LA Toucora, againft the return of Roa. SHAW, Efq. as one of the Reprefentatives of the city of Dublin, rsfumed their fittings at the Royal Ex change. From the minutenefs of the tellimony given, and the necelfary flownefs refulting from the Commif (loners being obliged to take down the evidence as furnithed, together with the frequent interruptions from objections on both fides, it appears likely to take much time before the event can be known. Saturday, Mr. NOR COTT, Mr. COATES, and Mr. Haat, the Commiffioners appointed to receive evi dence cn the part of the petition againft the return of Roasax SHAW. Efq. held their firft meeting at the Exchange. The only bufinefs tranfaaed was the fwearing the Commiaioners by Alderman Caacarom, who attended for the purpofe.

He (Captain Snow) paired through L'rd Cot.- Liscwoon's fquadron, confining of feven fail of the line. By a letter from the Nuadron lying off Cadiz, we received the unpleafant intelligence, that the Mary, Captain Darsom.r, that failed under the convoy of the Spartan, i‘ IA a few miles Eafi of Cadiz, with 25.000 Rand of arms on blvd.

Three were convitied of mifdemeannrs, viz. William Parker, indifted for (haling in the dwelling houfe of William Beak, a hotel keeper, in jermyn arect, one Myer fork. _ It appeared, in e% , idence, that the prifoner was caught in the fait of putting the fork in hi, pocket, in the Coffee Room. In his defence, the prifoner Paid, that, upon going into the Coffee Room, and finding nobody in atten dance, he took up the fork, to ftrike againb the table, in order to make himfelf heard, and at that moment the:waiter came in, and charged him with the felony. The Learned Judge (Lord ELLENBOROUGN), was proceeding to charge the Jury, when, upon looking at the indiCtment, he dikovereu the profecutor's namc fpelled Bell, inttead of Beak, his Lordfhip informed the Jury that it was impeffible that the prifoner could be conviCted under the prefent indiameut. If the name bad been (pelted with any deviation from the precife mode which was ufed by the profecutor him fell, but at the fame time if that deviation was fuch as to preferve a fimilari. -- of found, then the cafe might be fairly put to the Jury. As the cafe now flood, he thought that the Ida mode would be to acquit the prifoner upon this indielment, and then he might be detained until a new indiCtment could he framed, in which the mime might be fpelled with more correCtnefs. Thus the forms of law would to relpeCted whilst the ends of juflice would not be de feated. The prifnner was accordingly acquitted and order. ed to be taken care of. His Lotdfhip direeted that a frefh indiEtment fhould be preferred. 7. Rye and IV. Weldon, for obtaining aheifer, value 181. of John Eve, under falfe pretences. And five were acquitted. MIDDLE3EX SESSIONS. SINGULAR ASSAULT OF A HUSBAND UPON HIS WIFE. Yellerday Chriflapher Drily, a young man about 22 years of age, was indieed for mot} violently afTaulting and beating Maria Daly, his wife. Mr. ALLAY Hated the cafe on the part of the prole cution, and obferved, that the Juries of that Court had cafes of affaults frequently brought before them, of the moft violent nature, between individuals, between matters and their apprentices, and even of cruelty in. Aided upon helplefs children ; but cafes of violence exercifed by a hufband tcwards his wife, were rather of a fingular nature ; filch was the cafe he had to lay before them, nor could he recollect one of much more atrocious barbarity than the prefent. The profecu. trix was a young woman, unfortunately wife to the defendant, who was himfelf the fon of an attorney, in the city of Dublin. The profecutrix was the daughter of refpeaable and reputlble parents in the county of Norfolk, and had received the education of a gentlewoman, at a London Bearding School.— Young, innocent, and unfufpicious, the became un• happily acquainted with a young Gentleman of the Irith Bar, by whom the was feduced, and brought over to the city of Dublin ; where, under hit protec. tion, the enjoyed that comfort and affluence, which, under fuch circumtlaoces, the could have, un til th e Defendant fourd means to become acquainted with her. He propofed marriage ;—and the, preferring poverty with a virtuous.hufband, to affluence in vice, about twelve months ago became the wife of the defendant ; but not before he was made acquaint. ed with her fituation : in anfwer to which he pleaded his ardent affection for her, and his anxious with to make her his wife. At that time the had a houfe handfomely furnilbed, and was polfelred of fuch wearing apparel, and perfonal ornaments, as tafte and luxury might deem neceffary ; but, like the po pular dramatic entertainment, 7 tree Weeks after Mar riage had fcarcely paired, when the hufband affumed the character of the brutal tyrant, and his real objea (the polfeffion of her little property) became evident. He firtt difpofed of her houfe and furniture, then of her clothes arid valuables, and hilly, he beat her violcutl7, and turned her out of doors, caked mil (telemeters. She once more returned to England; and fought pioteainn and peace in the boroM of her parents : but the was not permitted long to rernalti in tranquility; the defendant followed her, traced her to her parents, at Lynn; in Norfolk, and per loaded her to accompany him to London, where they mixed in the difEpation and pleafures of the g ay world ; and here again the hufband's depravity wa exercifed ; he broke open her drawers, paivned all her clothes and little trinkets, then horfe•whipped her naked perfon; and in that fituation turned het into the flreer. This was not only repeated, but when all her property was gone, and fhe had nothing left to fupport his ettravagance, this athletic a&ive young man, who was capable of earning his own bread, anually forced her to prolliture her perfon, in order to fupply the means of his difEpation. More than once the forgave thole acts of violence, upon condition, that he would return to his own country, and moldt her no more; but, in the month of March laft, he again beat her moil unmercifully, Co that her life was nearly defpaired of ; and, in order to protea her perfon from further violence, fhe was under the abfolute neceflity of intlituting this prnfecution. This ftatement, with many more falls, were hilt corroborated by the evidence. It appeared, npon the evidence of the perfon with whom tlsey lodged, that at one time the Defendant was beatit.g the pros fecutrix a ith fuch violence, that her (*creams reached their laodlady, who interfered ; and .vhen the Deters. dant retired, the difcovered, that the unhappy wife, and her infant child, had palled the day without a morfel to eat; and while the humane landlady was giving fome dinner, in her own apartment, to her and her child, the hotband returned, broke (pen her drawers, took away all her clothes, and pea ned then* The duplicate he afterwards fold to a woman of the town, for a guinea, and then went and !toned the goods in the hands of the pawnbroker. Upon ano ther occafion he was known to declare, that he had no oblation to his wife; proflituting herfelf kith old men, but not with young ones, as a mutual attach ment might be the refult in fuch cafes. He e the Defendant interfered, and laid, that was only a joke over a bottle of Champagne. The defendant, in perfon, crofs examined the wiN. neffes, and only feemed to involve himfelf the deeper, by every quellion he propofed. In his defence he Paid, he was here a total banger, not knowing a human being in London ; he had been inveigled by the profecntrix into a marriage, and was not yet of age. She afterwards perfuaded him to go to England, and kneeled to him rn the beach, en treating him to go with her. He admitted, he hal affaulted her ; and did not deny that 1 e fuffered her to prolli:ute her perfon for his litrport ; but, as a leading feature in his defence, he laid, he was not legally married, for he had procured a degraded clergyman, commonly called ;II that country 2:comple beggar, who performed the ceremony for half a guinea. His father, he fail, had fince inflituted a Wit in the EccleGallical Court, and his wife had been cited to appear, in order to hi:, obtaining a divorce. The Jury I. and him Guiity, and the Court de. ferred the fentence for another opportuuity. In the, mean time, the Learned CHAIANIAN obferved, that the perfon of the female molt be proteCted from fur. ther moleffoian or violence ; and dire led the defen dant, by the time he lhould next come up, to he prepared with fureties to keep the peace, himfelf in zoo!. and two fureties in tool. each. RICHAAD ANDREWS. Yellenlay the further hearing of this perfon's cafe was refumed, at the Public Office, Qz . ueen's-fqeare, purnialit to ornottitment. Mrs Harria, wife of the merchant who had loft hit plate, and daughter of Mr. Hares, from whofe hook it was 110k11. corro borated what had been advarccd by Mr. Young, who redeemed the plate. She, after the plate wis loft, had miffed her tetner from his houfe, and, although he was in the King's Bench, tb it fad the not afeertain. Her father was in a moderate wty of bulinets before Mr Andrews cattle to lodge at his houfe, but executions were afterwards continually comb" in. Mr. Parker. Pawnbroker, in Fleet ftreet, was n-it called. to prove the paweing of the plate. He knew the prifoner. but It was not pledged by him. Two ladies came to hit, dour in a car riage, a (cuftorn very frequent) and oue of them pledge. the pro perty in the name of Harris. This witn..fs had been informed that the father had robbed the f m of the plate, or that the fon had robbed the father. He bad aifo been fummonci before a li4asif., trate for giviog up the plate. hut his accufer did not attend ' Part of the evidence which wa , given at the laid examination was read and attefted by the witneffes. ' I. Newcomb, a poor old rran, a journeyman fhoernaker, depofed that about half a year ago the prifoner was introduced to him. The witnefs made fome boots and Mors for his children. The prifoner rcprefented hinifelf to be under fome tenirorary embarraffinent in confequence of his being involved in a fuit at lai.v for the reco very of confiderable property; but added, that he hoped that matter would very &only be terminated in a manner highly to his fatisfaelion, and he would have a feat in Parliament. The wit nefs lent him feveral fmall fums of money, both In order to for ward his Cult at law, and to furnith hlnifelf with clothes. He even got credit in the witnefs's name and with his perrniffion at chand ler's (hops and other places for neceffaries of fuhfiftence. The whole of which the winters was afterwards made anfwerahle for, amounting in all to fomething upwards of ad. Mr. Brown Rated, that he became acquainted with the prifoner while they were In the King's Bench Prifon together. They were both releafed at the fame time under the Infidel:tit Act. The wa ne*, bad an annuity in right of his lace wife ; and the prifoner and he being on very intimate terms, 'timers frequently dined in com pany, and was by hint introduced to Major Daviton. The wit net's wasted to believe that the prifonces intereit was fu very great that be could by his means be placed in fume lucrative fitua tion. under Government. While the prifoner kept a haute in Half Moon-ftreet, Piccadilly, he gave the w.tnefs a letter of re commendation to Lori Bathurft; but the witnefa nev er obtained the fi tuation which he hoped tor. During the tim e of this inti• many fubfifting between them, the witnefs advanced feveral fums of money, amounting in the whole, he believed, to fornething about vol. _ _ The prifoner begged permiflir-n to fay a few words to Mr. Colquhoun, the prefidiag Magittrate. He implored' him to fuf pend his judgment, and truitcd that the public would ado fufpend theirs, until he was fairly tried by a Jury of his Countrymen. He would then have it in his power to prove that a rt gular fyilematie confpiracy was formed againit hint; he knew that regular nightly meetings were held in the City for that purpofc ; and he would, he was confident, be able to prove upon his trial that he himfolf had been fwindied by one of chafe pantos. The Magiitrate however obferved, that the poor obi mangle keeper in Cicrkenwell, and Come others. could not be members of fuch a confpiracy. The prifoner was then again committed fur re-examination. We are authlrifed to hate that the chief Parliamen tary Supporters of the Bill fur the Abolition of the Slave Trade, have intimated their intention of atten..ing the Public Meeting, which is to be held at 12 o'clock on Tuefday next, at Free &Lions Hall, for deliber. ating on the bell means of promoting Civilizition ip Africa. It will be recolltded that in this numb.:x are included his Royal Highnefs the Duke of GLoo. cerrEit, and many leading Members of the 1a.% anti prefcnt Adminiftration. 'he by aa, red de•
