CoPENZGAIiDEN 1711471 E. Their Mstt stis e, accompanied by all the Plt ttt cFst'S. honoured this Theatre yefterday evening with their pretence, to fee the new Comic Opera of the Cabinet. y were received with the mrti enthuriallic teflimonks of loyalty and affection by as fplendid and rmmerous an audience as has been witneffed fence the commencement of the feafon. The Klsa was dreffed, as ufital, in regimentals; the `I F EN and the PRINCESSE S in white and flyer, cxccptth: Princers ELizanETH, who wore a dark coltmed robe, pretty high on the bofom. That of the Princeis Ames.* was cut confiderably lower than the robes of her Royal Sifters. The sleeves were all fhort and full, and the muffs black or white. The CZ CEN wore a clofe cap, richly orna mented with diamonds, but no feathers : the head. dreffes of the ERIN C ESA FA were all in hair, with plumes of white oftrich feathers, except the Prin. eel's EL I Z ABETH'S, which was fcarlet poppy colour, and the Princefs AMELIA'S, which was a light blue. The Opera is at prefent in a very improved Rate, and feveral material additions have been made, in particular to the machinery. The naval procef• Pion to the island, which is now introduced, pro duces a rand tired, and the intereft of the Piece is much increafed by bringing before the audience that which was before but ideal. INCL EDON was fo extremely hoarfe, that he did not attempt to ling at all, and it was impoffible for him to articulate fo as to be heard diftinetly by the audience. BRAN•At appears to acquire popularity by every new performance. He has with great judgment diffroifed, in his execution of the Simple and pa thetic airs, many of thole luxuriances and fuper- Bonus graces, that were more calculated to afto nith the ear than to Ala the heart. A complete alteration has taken place in the fit ting up and decorations of the Royal Box. It is highly creditable to the tate and liberality of the Manager. The upper part, Surmounted with the ulna' infignia, is entirely new, and in the place of the blue Patin front, formerly fufpended from the box, a frontifpiece is fulAlituted, compofed of pink and gold mouldings of excellent workmanlbip. In the center are a crown and glory, brilliantly irra diated ; at both extremities are the letters G. R. Superbly embellilbed, and the intermediate corn.' partmcnts confal of fancy carvings fuited to the' fu:Jjelt. The ROYAL PASTY was attended by the Coun. tefs of HARCOURT, the Marquis of SALISBURY, Loris CHESTERFIELD,MORTON, and WENTWORTH. The Duke of Keay was in his own box, and among the company were the Duke of o:BURGH, Lords POULET, MOIRA, MOUNT EDG/CUMBE, GRAY, CRANLEY ; the Mairchioneffes of SALISBURY, TriO:4OND, DONNEGAL, and Ladies AYLESBURY, CARDIGAN, TALBOT, and CRASLEY.

A quan tity of falt had been feized in the houle of a gro cer at Lynne, on Infpicion of being frmiggled.— When the trial came on, the defendant's fervent was called as a witnefs, and fwore to fevcral things which were now charged to be falfe. After Mr. Gurney, the 111°n-hand writer, had read his evi dence as taken down in Couit, a land waiter was examined to ellablifh the perjury. He had con , traditfted the defendant in feveral material fads, when Mr. Attorney-General faid he had jult learned that five or fix other perfons were prefent during the fearch, who had not been fummoned. There was no doubt that they ought to have been examined, and as be could have but one obje4t in view, which might not in this way be completely attained, he contented to drop the profecution. Mr. Jullice Gaose faid, fince the Attorney- General had behaved with Inch candour and pro priety, the Jury would 'acquit the defendant. —Not Guilty. MORCIAW qri tam V. SIMSILII. lhis information was brought againtl the de. fondant for an attempt to export woollen yain He is a foreigner, concerned in a very relpeetable houfe in the city, and was fending this yarn to a holier in Saxony, for the purpofe of being manu factured into finckings. It was entered at the Cutiom-houfe as cotton, but the fearcher was fur prifed to find it In light, and ordered the package to be opened. The penalty here fought to be re covered was three thillings for each pound of wool which the defendant had attempted to export.— For this offence, betides the pecuniary muld, the offender is liable, by an old ttatute, to infamous corporal punilhment. Mr. ERSKIN e made an excellent fpeech, not to eftabliih the innocence of his client, but to thew that he had been aCting from ignorance, and being a young man of unexceptionable charaCter, he ought not to foffer more for his involuntary error. Mr. E. highly extolled the anxiety of the Lcgifla ture to prcferve the woollen trade in all its branches exclufivdy to this country. I perfonally know, faid he, that wool manufaCtured as this was to have been in Saxony, forms a very confiderable article of our export trade. Having been at Antwerp with a gentleman highly refpeCted by my learned Friends on both hands of me, we were deeply af teCted to fee grafs growing in the ltrects of that city, which had once monopolized the commerce of the world. However, my travelling compa nion rushed into the room one morning, and pre tended that he had difcovered the manufaCtures of the town not to be reduced to fo low an ebb as we had imagined. He produced a pair of excellent worlied flockings, which he had bought cheaper than they would have coil him in London. In !lead of believing, like him, however, that they had been knit at Antwerp, I immediately fufpetted them to be tit!. produce of my native country.— My curiotity being excited, and withal not being over well provided with the article myfelf, I went in perfon to the (hop ; I had nn former faid, Mal/- fret moi des bar de lainr, id vont plait, than, ex claiming en voila, he (hewed me tome, and my con jeCturcs were confirmed.

This was an aClion brought againfl the defen dant, a Solicitor, for damages incurred in conic quence of his having negleiled to enrol the me morial of an annnity.L:ced in the form prefcribed by Ala of Parliament. An annuity had been granted by a perfon of the name of May, thirteen years ago, to the plain tiff, and the ufual fecurities were given for the payment of it. On the annuity-deed there was Indorfed a deed-poll, containing a declaration of truft, that the purchafe-money belonged to the plaintiff and his brother, and that the rents and profits of the eflate, conveyed to fecure the ar nuity, were to be received by the Grantee, in unit to pay the annuity, and after payment thereof, in miff to the ufe of the grantor. The memorial required to be regiflei ed did not mention the re fulting truft to the nfe nf . .thc grantor ; and in con. fequence of this °million an applicatlo° It to the Court of King's Bench,' and the annuity was fet alide. The plaintiff, therefore, fought to recover the amount of the purchafe money from the attorney, by whole omiflion he had loft the benefit of the annuity. Mr. Glass, for the Defendant, contended that an attorney was only liable to anfwer for wilful negligence. That in the prefent inffance the De. fendaut had lrawn the memorial in the ufual form, without the leaft idea that the fubfequent opinion of the Court upon the conftrudion of the Annuity At would require fomething more to be done ; that the Defendant had only erred upon a point on which the matt able Lawyers and Con veyancers had, and hill differed ; and that there fore his error was a venial one. The judge was of the fame opinion. He ob ferved, that the Defendant had done all that at the time was deemed neceffary for the fecnrity of his Client; and it would be extremely hard to make him anfwerable, becaufe, by a future conftrultion of the Annuity AEI, the meaning of which it was difficult to afcertain, the Court had decreed that the mufti of an annuity ttould be more explicitly detailed in the memorial.' The Jury accordingly returned a Verdi& in fa• your of the Defendant. This clofed the bu6nefrat Wellminfler, and an Court prtge.od, tomorrow to Guildhall. F , I I II i; r ' h
