William Walker retied his appeal to the Quarter Seflions on the ground of his being proprietor of a ploughgate of land, and therefore qualified to !hoot or hunt any where, without being liable for more than a trefpafs. A proof was allowed him of his having land to the extent of a ploughgate, which being laid before the meeting on the 23d, the Court unanimoufly found, that his land did not amount to a plougbgate, and affirmed the fentence of the Juftices at Heidi, and found Walker liable in expences.

CON. The difcovery that has lately taken place in a mon refpeetable family is truly affliaing to every friend of morality and virtue. The Lady, wh ,, is the daughter of a mots refpeflable Baronet, and the mother of (*even children, has hitherto patted for a model of modelly and finod•condu•9, and the charaaer of her hufbaud and all his family is as amiable as any this kingdom boans of. His fituation is peculiarly cruel, the fcandalous commerce of Mrs. M. with his moll intimate friend, a Clergyman, having commenced five years back, fince which period it is impollible to filiatc the children. The abandoned mifcreant who has thus brought forrow and thame into a refpeetable family, is worfe that: a felon. In fuch cafes, the virtue of fociety thould fupply the inadequacy of law. Such a wretch thould be chaced from the intercourse of good men to the communion of thieves, and rob bers, and murderers. The individual that coun tenances, and the family that admits him into its circle, thould be branded with infamy. It is in vain to profcribe crimes when the criminal is en couraged ; and what crime is fo great as this ? Several years a,r , o, Mr. H , the only fon of a Gentleman of confiderable landed property, in confequence of repeated imprudences: had the misfortune entirely to alienate the affetlionsof his father. His diarcffes accumulated, and his applications redoubled for reli:f ; hut every ave nue was choaked up to tendernefs and forgive nefs, and the unfortunate young man was aban doned by a rigorous parent to the five; ity of his fate. At broken-hearted with remorfe, trefs and defpair, he fell into a dangerous illnefc, during which he was frequently vifited by fome members of the family till he expired and was bu ried. So at kali thole perfons believed, and be lieved they had Peen fo. The whole, however, or at leatl the confummation of this extraordinary I fcene, was a delufion. Mr. H. whether in the hope that his father, appealed and mollified by this dreadful cataltrophe, might be induced to pay his creditors, or plainly perceiving that he had no other profpelt of avoiding being difinherited by his unrelenting father, had had recourfe to the aratagem we have defcribed. As foon as the fn• neral was over, in which he performed to fignal charaEler ' lie withdrew to the Continent, where, amongit the feveral adventures that befell him, it is laid, poverty or fome other misfortune conducted him into the (.4fickfilver-mines of Hungary, from which mifery to rarely returns to the light of the fun. _ _ _ _ Mr. H. however, had very lately the good for tune to effe4l, by lime method, of whi ch we are uninformed, his liberation from f.) horrible a pri fon, and is returned after a long Afence to this kingdom. Finding his father had died in the in terval, and that his three Idlers were, as heirs at law, in poireffion of the eilate, he is piny rejoicing in the fticcefs of his policy, and claims an im menfe property, .Which can only be contefied by difputing the identity of his perfon, of which how ever perfons of great rank and integrity arc tho roughly fatisfied. This Gentleman we underhand to have formerly cut a very dillinguhhed fiyii e in the kau moruk, and to have led the Ton of whim and faihionable difripation. About ten days ago a perfon, ftippored to be a maniac, went to the QLieen's houle, and laid there was a great deal of money owing him from Go vernment, and that he wanted jullice ; the fcr yams then perfuaded hi m to go away, but on Th urf day evening laf, coming again on the fame buff. nets, and being extremely , troublefome, !delfts. Baker and Bevan, two of her Majelly's porters, detained him till Sayers, one of the Bow fireet of ficers, was fent for, who took him into cußody. On examination the fame evening, before Sir RI , CHARD FORD, he Paid his name was Patrick Rn- ney Nugent, and that he was formerly employed at Cape Breton as Surveyor General, but left it about tcn years ago, in order to fettle his account with Government, which appears to be true ; and that he was a man of extreme genius, having in• vented a machine to find out the longitude. In other refpeets he talked in a very incoherent man ' ner, refuted to tell where he was born, and faid that many attempts had been made to deßroy him by throwing arfenic into his room through engines and long tubes, which had got into his finmach and lungs ; that vitriol 11.:d been poured ihto his head through an engine ; and that me tallic traftors had been pradifed on him to take away his life. At prefent he teems in great dif trefs ; but, as there cannot be a doubt of his being in a deranged Rate of mind, he was ordered to be fent to Tothill•fields Bridewell, and proper care taken of him until his fituation can be exaelly at ; certained. _ _ _ _ ..... On Wednefday there was a tolerable thew of fat and lean cattle at Gloucefter Great Market, which fold at fomewhat reduced prices. Lean fheep and pigs were alfo plentiful, out fold at good prices, though (tore pigs fell towards the dole of the market. On Saturday the 19th nit. a pair of faddle-bags, belonging to a gentleman of Whitehaven, were cut open, at the Crown Inn, at Peniith, (where 1 they had been left in one of the parlours) and bank notes to the amount of Soo guineas taken out. Sufpicion fell upon a certain perfon, who had dined in the room that day. Proper (leps were taken for making the difcovcry. Part of the pro perty was found upon him, and from his cpnlef fion, &c. nearly the whole was recovered, though a confiderable part of it had lain expofed for two hours under the gate way. of the Inn ! The of; fender was committed to the Honfe of Correthon, to take his trial at the next quarter feffions. Thurfday morning George Ruffed, going on board a Well Indiaman, lying off Rotherhithe, with a box containing property for the Captain, fell into the River,and was unfortunately drowned.

FRENCH THEATRICAes.—The prolific genius of the French Dramatifls manifclis itfelf in fome new produEtions every week. The return of Peace will afford us the opportunity of occalionally noticing theft ephemeral prodnCtions. Among the latctt is a new piece, which, if the accounts in the French papers are corrcd, may very fairly be put in com petition with Come of our own modern Dramatic Vroduttions. This piece is called An Inn at Calaic. At this Inn arc affembled the following perfonages: A Gafcon, who is going to ellablith a Theatre in England : a Parifian, who comes down to meet h's Niece on her at rival from London : the Niece her felf : the young Lady's Lover ; and an Englifh. man, alfo in love with the young Lady. and who has followed her from England. The Englifliman forms a plan for carrying off the Lady, and bribes the Garcon to affitt him : but by a mi'take, t he Landlady is carried off in her (lead.—Such is the .Piece, which is hated to have been received with a mixture of applaufe and cenfurc. This Piece," f.tys the French Editor, " will undoubtedly pltiafe the Engli fh, who always defc: ibe the French, on their Theatres, as true Gafcons." Another Piece has alfo made its appearance during the Lift decade at the Theatre Feydeau. It is entitled Plutarch, and is rather of an amufing defcription. It teems however to afford but a flight fovndation even for a (Ingle aft. A young Officer; who is over head and ears in love, requeffs form pecuniaiy affiflance of a rich uncle, by means of which he hopes to render himfelf more worthy of the woman of his heart : to this application the uncle makes this laconic reply—" Read Plutarch,"' . at the fame time prefenting him with a copy. The young man, who cannot conceive that the perufal of a Greek author could prove any refource to him, not only negleEted the advice, but fold all his books, including even Plutarch. The Valet difpofes of the whole to a perfon whorit he takesfor a broker, but who, in fait, proves to be the uncle. The Plutarch, which was given to the nephew, fealed up, was in faift alone worth a thoultnd crowns. At length, the uncle and the nephew have an inter. view: and after many ironical and hume,roas re fledions on the taste of young men for reading, he gives him to underfiand, that the book in quetticn contained a note for 6000 francs, and a content to his wished-for marriage. The benevolent uncle pardons him, and unites the lovers.—He gives, at the fame time, a thoufand crowns to the valet, who, perceiving the/vat of the old man for ancient authors, prefents him with a Cicero, obferviag, at the fame time, that he was not thefiri great awn who had ma& the fortune orf a fool. • I DRAMATIC ANECDOTE.—At the rehearfals of Irene, which VOLTAIRE always attended, he beg. ged Madame VErrais to repeat a couplet, which he thought not well delivered. V s.STRis did fo two OT three times fucceilively ; but VOLT4IRE was not pleafed. At haft a great Lord, who was prefent, laid, " Indeed you teaze Madame; and I think the has delivered the paffage very well." " It may be very well for a Duke," replied the Wit; " but it is not very well for me." _ In the evening of General BONAPARTE'S decree for altering the I'tztorian command at the Thuil .leries, and fplitting the authority r.f the Prefrit, a Placarde appeared upon the Palace, with the fol. lowing pleafantry Fortaidolofa, verfatur in Ge neralibut."
