Such a perfect tot,: tion of the chiracter , u-such ah adaptation of every vernal movement to the Wciikings of the mind, iking a visible commentary not only on what is ea rned, but what is thought; and if to all this be added variety and suddenness of conflicting passions, so isterly deliticat-d—these make an excellence of the ;hest order.

A Slight circumstance in her diess as thd loam, offends the eye—we mean her appeasing with a hair in coils, and stuck with a comb.

In the former she displayed the chows of her voice, with the simplicity dictated by her nod taste as the aopropriate characteristic of the sob. ct, and imparted to it the charm of those sweet effects Iher softer tones which we have before noticed.

DARING ROBBERY. -+- Monday. a most auchfciont robbery was committed by three fellows, all most fashionably dressed, at the house of Mrs. Poole, a willow Lady, in Howard street, Strand. On two previous occasions before the day of the robbery, the three men in question called together at the house to look at a set of apatfrtients that were to be let there, but differed each time with Mrs.. Poole as to the rent ; the one, who represented himself as the principal person, said that he was the son of a Noble man, and, as his means were ample, he should have oc• casion to see a great deal of company, and that an old Gentleman, an uncle cf his, was very particular not to dine off any thing but plate. Mts. Poole assured her noble lodger that was to be, that she had a very good assortment, and that his uncle should have nothing to complain of in that respect. They then had recourse to an expedient to see the plate, and represented to Mrs. Poole that, as the dinner parties would be nu merous, so must the supply of wine be abundant; and the Nobleman's son wished to see all the closets, cup boards, &c. to ascertain if they would answer the purpose of keeping sine in. Mrs. P. did not hesitate to open the place in which her plate w as depo,ited.Theythen departed, saying that they would call at another time and make up their minds. Monday they called again, and finally .ettled with Mrs. Poole for the lodgings; but just as they were about to depart ore of the gang apologized to Mrs. Poole for giving her trr üblr, but said, Oat as he was exceedingly thirsty, he would feel obliged it she would ask the servant to bring him a glass of water.— This Mrs. Poole immediately did, and withdrew for a moment to receive the tumbler of water from the set• vans at the head of the stairs, but before she could re turn to the room she was met by the three geneemen, who followed her into the passage, s here one of them drank the glass of water, and then the whole party walked out of the house, the door being very politely Opened for them by Mrs. Poole het self, to whom they wished a very good morning. , On returning to the Loom, Mrs. Poole missed her gold witch, chain, and seals, from the chimney piece, where it hung, and then on looking at her plate closet, she found that the whole • f the plate had been carded off. 0.1 making the discovery, she gave an instant alarm in the strut; but, although every search was made, no trAer could be found of the thieves, so quick were they in their movements. The value ( f the property in the whole thus cart ied away exceeds 1001. In the Court of King's Bench, Dublin, on Monday last, a conditional order was obtained by the Solicitor- General on behalf of Lord Dungarvoi, far liberty to file a criminal information against the proprietor and printer of the Dublin Luning Mail, for a libel on his Liirdship, in that paper of the 7th instant, by stating that his L ndship had gone to a public dinner in a State • bf intoxication, and had behaved there in a very impro per manner. Yesterday afternoon, as Charles Casey, a fine little boy about nine years < f age, belonging to the Bluecoat School in Little Chapel stree„ Westrnin ter, was leasing out of a window on the f nrth story of the school house, to teach a pigeon which had alighted on a pole which projected brim the window, for the purpose of drying Clothes, he overbalanced hibirel, and fell headlong out of the Window on to the pavement. He was immedirely taken to a surgeon's in the Broad way, when it was ascer• tained that his thigh was sadly harken, his lower pier thrashed to pieces, and also the uppir one much injured, and several other set tire injusiei. He was afterwards conveyed to the Westminster Hospital in a dreadful state, suffering the most ,zerutating agony—but little hopes are ent.rtained of his recovery. Sunday the preiniiei of Mr. Whitby, of Leyburn Mill, West Mailing, Kent, were brokers open, and a valuable mare stolen. Two men were traced with the Mare and twer colts to Ripston, a village near HorshArn. I The man with the colts was taken, but the other fellow unfiltunately made his escape with the mare. The marriages, and ceremonies preceding them, are singular in Prussia; When two young personi mutually consent to enter into that state, their parents are in formed of it; and if they approve of it, all the parties 'meet at a grand dinner, after which the young couple are formally promised or bethrothed to each other.— This frequently bappent• six or twelve month befori the marriage, and the event is notified by small printed cards, announcing it, which are distributed by the parents to their acquaintances,or not unfrequently by in setting it hi the newspapers; the e notices are repeated at the marriage, and at 'the birth of a child. Prom henceforth the bethrothed , receive the appellation of bride aid bridegroom, which they retain only anti) mars iage. We convened the other day with a genuine Ancient, who remembers the rebellion, and the sojourn the High.: lenders made in Dumfries, when 12 men and a ser vant were billetted on her mother, much better than the events of yesterday. Iler name is Ann Hamilton, alias Butler—her age nearly 99, and her general health and activity df both mind and body very extraordinary Sir a person of her years. With the exception of me mnry, which is .a little impaired, all her faculties remain *Mire, and so far from being bed rid, she can walk .about the doors without a stick, and. with the aid of one, to and (tom the mat ket. Regarding the Pretender, Mrs. Butler avers that he was a 's very clever, pretty Man ; and when questioned as to whether she had ac tually seen him, her answer was, if see him how could I miss seeing him, when be was walking openly %I a the Ladies and Gentlemen 0 1 the place.

Mr. SUDDEN applied to the Court at a late hour yes terday evening, and req tested hisLorditip to inter, ose in a cese if attachment issued out of the Vice Chancel lor's Court, against the defendant, Mrs. Dunn, a Lady of large property. She had been attached for not put Ling in an answer in a suit now pending, to which she was a party ; the omission wavnt t caused by any act I f this Lady, but in consequence of Alitess and indispo Lion. If his Lordship did not inteifrre she would be immediately committed to the Fleet prison. Mr. Koa opposed this appl:cation on an affidavit made by a person named Riche:. Deponent stated that he had understood and believed Mrs. Dunn had been to Brussels, and there met wi:h a French Count, wbo had followed her to England—that he had been informed by one of the dele.edant's servants, that defendant in tended to be married on Wednesday morning next to the French Count, who was now paying his addresses to the defendant, and that after the solemnisation of her mirriage she intended tu return to the Continent. He (Mr. Koc) hoped his Lordship would direct the defen dant to answer the charges made in that affidavit, or in default commit her to the Fleet pawn, until she had put in her answer to the can-es, according to the order made by the Vice Cuancellor. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that the defendant ought certainly to answer the affidavit made by Pitcher. and for that purpose he would give her the protection of the Court entil the next m 4ning. Mr. SuoDEN, shortly alter the sitting of the Court this morning, said he held in hi's band an affidavit en titel.y contradicting the statements made by Pitcher.— This Was the most a rocinus attempt to deprive a per son of liberty he had ever braid f since he had prat. ti ed in this Court. She totally denied the statements relative to the French Count, wed also as to her inten tion of being married, or of leaving this ct entry to re ide on the Cominent. The servants also had made a joint affidavit, contradicting the affidavit relative to their having informed the deendant, Pitcher, that their mis tress intended to be itiarried next Wednesday. The Lady was now in Court, waiting the decision of his Lordship, but she tepelled with contempt any idea of being again married. The LORD CHANCELLOR granted this application to stay the proceedingi under the attachment, and gave time t ansiti the bills filed against the defendant. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Not. 27. THE KIDDIMAIINSTER Mors. THE KING V. THZ REV. HUMPHREY PRICE. It will be recollected that on a former day a ttkle for a criminal ii form.rtion was obtained against this claim dant for disseminating inflammatory handbills in the town of Kiddermiaster, during the time of the great ,agitation there, arising from a turn-out of the carpet weavers. Sir JAMES SCARLITT now tn , vei to make the rule absolute, stating that he urider•t•nid the defendant was in Court, and wished to be heard against the rule. Mr. PRICE (who stood on the fl ior of the Court) in formed their Lordships that he had never been in a Court of Justice before, although he had long wished to have had that pleasure; he was therefore ignoraeit of the course he ought to adopt, having only received the notice that a rule was obt tined ou Saturday last; 120 miles from town. The Count then informed him that affidavits had been filed against him, showing that he had acknow ledged he was the author of some of the infl emmate ry handbills, and therefore, if he se i•hed to oppose the ap plication, he must do it upon affidavit. The defendant then said that he had riot the meant to get affid..vits ptepared, or ti edits!, y Counsel. Sir J. ScAELLTT said, that as f ir as he was person ally concerned, he was unwilling to press the matter harshly at present, as the defendant had n.l Counsel, and seemed ignorant of the triode of proceeding; however, if die matter stood over until the next Tern, and the defendant would confer wilt the Learned Counsel, he would point out plen. y of his friends at the Bar who , would conduct the defence without any expense to the defendant. The defendant, in answer to this proposition, said that he could gain nothing by such a delay, or by tl e assistance of Counsel, as he dud not intend to Jetty anj matter of fact, or to disavow any publi.ation of which he had been the author. Lord TENTERDEN said th.t the business of the Court must be conducted regielaily. It was swore that the defendant had avowed himself the author of five of the OA/minatory handbills. His Lordship thee read of e of them, which was of a Most exasperating nature; tending to keep up the differences between the manu-; facturers and their wthkmen, and stiginatiiitig the Corporation of Kieldermitrer as a caput The defendant then said, I acknoWleifge tfiait hand bill, even from my heart." Lord Ttsystareitt-Then the role Must be rhide soldte. CRIMINAL INIORMATiON.—THR LINO V. THE Rti. JOHN KNIGHT. Mr. BROWNIAN( moved fbr si rule to show cause *hy a criminal information should not be sled ag ainst the Ulf. John Knight, cies k, a Magistrate for the county of Oxford, for alleged and corrupt conduct in his office. The application *as founded on the affidavits of a pub lican ofCharton, Oiton, Ann, his wife, the ionstab:e of the vial, and other pers-ns, which set nut that about eight o'cl , -ck on the evening of the Sd of July the .Rev. Mr. Knight came to the house of Mr. Higgs and said, "I insist on your turning out those drunken fel lows," alluding to Higgs's son, a respectable bullet, the pule!) constable, and a respectable farmer, who were not drunk, and who had only drank three pints of beer among them. Mrs. Higgs urged that there wag no drunkenness or disorder; ors which Mr. Knight became enraged, and went out for two labrurers of bill own, and commanded them' to turn the people out; but they laughed, and refused to interfere, as they saw std ditirder. Mr. Knight then went and fetched arrorhef labourer, and said he would Make them spetird conger: *les, and therefore called upon them for their atisistaitted but they still refused. Mr. Knight then retired, asM Mrs. Higgs pot the chairl across the door; but he re 4. turned, made a violent knocking at the door, and tired ' burst it open, used most abusive lane:age t 6 Mrs. Higgs, and struck her two violent blows. A stogie ensued between Mr. Knight and the son, and it the nest Oxford Assizes cross-indictients were preferred a tuf found by the Grand Jury. After this, ho - werer, at the neat licensing day, when Higgs applied for hislicente (Mr. Knight being present), he tendered a certificate ci the respectability of his house, signed by one ch'Orch warden, two overseers', and I great number of respecta ble parishioners. Mr. Knight, hiraever,thiewthe paper back, saying that they were all raff', and told them to retire, that the Magistrates might consider. On beng ladled in again, the licente was refused.

Mr. Parrison f Rowed on the same side, and ot. served that it was sufficient that the affi.tavit denied the fact imputed tobim, without wing into further detail. Lord TENTERDeII—It was the opinion of the Court that the rule in this case ought to be discharged. Bit although the Court did not think this a Case for the exerciie of its extraordinary jurisdiction, it leis pet fectly open to Rocafuerte to proceed by indictment. The gronni laid in the affidavit in suppiot rt his rule was by fir too narrow. He bad denied that he published the.e advertisements with a view to his own petional advantage. But he ought either to have denied his having any thing to do is ith these publications fur the advantage of his friends, or for any other purpose, or he ought to have distinctly stated that he hid received instructions of the nature mentioned in the adversise ments, and that he fully believed the statement to be true. It was Well known that agents in that situation fen received one letter for their own Ovate instruct ti• n, and another to be shown to the public. The affi davit was defective, and the tole must be discharge J— . discharged. Till KING V. TOUNCI. Mr. Bnouon AM •lio.i.ed cause against a nee obtained by the Attoinii-General, calling on the editor of the Sun Evening Paper to show cause why a criminal in fog mii ion should not be filed against him fora libel on Lord Strangford. The application was made on the affidavit if that noble Lord, complaining of an article pitblished in the Sun of the 7th of August. Mr. Brougham admitted that the article was intended to impt.te to Lord S rangfird a want of veracity. The Noble Lord had denied the charge, as being tot.tly false and groundless. He never had been the tesiler of Mr. Canning, and.,nothing in his private or public conduct could warrant the charge made by the wrier of the alleged libel. The Couit would see, not sith standing that denial, that the Noble Lord had not made an affi - avit which came a ithin the t ule by which they granted criminal itforntationi. Tne alleged libel re ferred to a statement horn the Time: inserted in another part of the defendant's paper, and not one of the mat; tern in that statement had the Noble Lord denied. Lr rd Strangford confined h mse:f to the deoial of the charge in the San respecting his veracity, but these was no denial of the facts on which the charge was founded. Those facts were of the most specific character. Mr. Justice PARKE—Are they in the 'lures ? Mr. BROWN/tit—They are, and copied into the San. The article in the Times commenced with sajing,.. We had thought his Lordship was too well known t r his patrons to be entrusted again with another neg ciation. The tneve than diplomatic hitedoinwhich Vie NobleLerd tor.k with matters of fact renders him unfit for diplo macy." No answer was given on ifiai subject. lie was di• posed to pass over the N .ble Lord's oration on Mr. Caoning, to whom he owed his appointment, Int with respect to his late mission to the Brazils, Lord Strang ford had given statements which he might by posi bility explain, but certain it was that he had not ei plained them to the Coml. By that omission he had excluded himself from the remedy so .ght in that Conk. It will he remeintered that the late King if Portugal was induced, on the approach if the French armies, to einbaik for Rio Janeiro. Lord itrangtoid was the British Ambassador at Lisbon, aid after the King of Pus tugal had been expelled wir. his family, it appeared by the dispatches of the Noble Lord that he had been the means of forting hiM to take that 'step. It words could &le a plain meaning, no !other meaning was conveyed than this. The kesalt if Lord Strangford's interview with the nine. Regent was, that he induced him to embark foe , 'the Brazils. The article in the limes wept on to f or y, that thedispatch ( - tom his Lordship, p_drporting to be dated lions the Tagus, on board the Htb Unto, on tbe 27th of November, 1807, *as %Witten in 17 -'cimbers in Bruton-street, London. The Ntrili Lod, in his pads phlet in answer to Colonel Napier, had contissed haviiig written it in London. It was written, xecroding to the Noble Lord's :fitment, by order tit Mr. Caniii-g. The notable dispatch was commented on by Me. 8: cieoiadu It said the Prince Regent applied all his appielien,iiin to the French armies, and all his hot e to the British fleet. Whoever read this dispatch *bold suppose Lord 'Strangford saw the Prince Regent, and advised him to , embark for the Brazils. He stated that the Prince Re gent of Portugal had adop•ed the wise prec.uticiii of leaving Portugal, and the Noble Lord included in his dispatch the ship of war which left Lisbon on the morn ing the dispatch appeared to bear date. He thought it expedient to common cate to his Maje.t)'s Government this important dispatch, and he had to apologize for the hasty and imperfect manner in which it was written. His Lordship was no doubt in great haste at the em barkation. It *as written in lit uton-street, cum month after it purported to bear date. There was some ground to suppose his Lordship might he able to account for this apparent want of veracity, but certainly he had not done so. The public service Might have been pro moted by that dispatch, but why not inform the Court that Mr. Canning desired him to go and write chi. dis p itch ? He (Mr. Broughanb) would suppose that the dispatch was written in the' Tagus, and that all was true, but then it rested on the averments in his Lordship's pamphlet. He shJuld have given affidavi:s confirming the statements in the pamphlet. Toe Nuti:e Lord only said he never did any thing in which he toutd bi charged with perjury. This Mr. Brougliatis agein sib witted was not enough to induce the Court to grant a criminal information. Mr. ALKIANDER on the s ime side said, when it was !known that the charge, of inc. nsistency applied to Lord Strangford could be explained, the Sun. on the 19. h of August, printed the whole of the Noble Lord's aiologe 'lical pamphlet. The Learned Counsel submitted that ihe sue misfit be discharged. The Ayr:fabler GINKRAL said he should contend, upon all the iniiliples which protect the character of a public Minister, that the role Ought to be made J i bs( - lute, otherwise the Editor of one Journal Might 1 uhlish a statement, and the Editor of :moiler r..pei make libellous comments on it with impunity. There bad appeared an article in the' Times, which applied to Lord Strangford in Ms diplomatic character. Tire Vittr of the Thies did not say Lord Strangford was no to I a believed on hii oath, but the Edit& of the Sun Aid, and thereby &ale a g?ovs personal attack. It the auk wis , 14'
