The plot is very simple,and without any pretension to no velty, consisting chiefly of the old-fashioned artifice of a duel, got up by two young empty men of fashion to gain the hands of two girls of fortune. These girls are under the guardianship of a silly old fellow named Clutterbuck, a character which Mr. W. BENNET played aptly enough. He is bent on forming an alliance for them with men of wealth and consequence. A gouty old man, bearing the name of Mulligatawny. who is re presented by Mr. MATHEWS, returns, after forty years absence in India, laden with the spoils of the East, and bringing in his train ostriches, apes, rattlesnakes, and other such members of the animal kingdom. Among these is a s rt of half natural, named Sprat, in the capa city of a servant, whose part is well performed by Mr. Kalmar. To this Mullig2tasony, though he seems as un willing as he is unable to make successful suit, Clutter buck,as a matter of course, devotes one of his lovely wards. A Mr. Timothy Pennyfeather, suddenly transformed from an usher in a country school, into an Ensign of mi- I tia. becomes the dear tormentor of the other. To bith the Ladies, hos% ever, Captain Hastings (Mr. PEARMAN) and Mr. Mowbray (Mr. BAKER), two young men of fasliionable follies, are more acceptable. 'The only obstacle to their immediate happiness are Mulligatawny a:d Penny feather. To get rid of these, they pretend to quarrel among themselves, and ultimately involve their rivals, by taking them as their seconds. Captain Hastings also takei care in such a crisis to make his last will and testament, in which he disposes of tens •of thousands in the new Four per Cents to his relations, and a large sum to Clutterbuck, as the guardian of his Julia Clutterbuck, concealed behind the screen, hears this , will read, and feels a rising regard for the testator.— As the parties ate going out, they are seized by Out skirt, an officer of police, in the hat and costume of Townshend. In the confusion caused by this surprise, the fair are found in the possession of the brave—as they al ways should be—and the curtain drops. The several per formers exerted themselves zealously, but the annuncia tion of the Piece for repetition was received by no means graciously and flatteringly. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

PUBLIC MEETIN4 AT LIVERPOOL Monday, at twelve o'clock, a Public Meeting of the Inhabitants of Live! pool was held in the Town Hall, " for the purpose of taking into consideration and de termining upon the propriety of she wing some token of respect to the memory of the late Mr. CANNING." JOSEPH Macs, Esq. M.P. in rising to propose a series of Resolutions, said, that it had certainly not been his wish to undertake to present himself to the notice of the Meeting on the present occasion, to offer to their consideration and, he trusted, to their unanimous ap probation the Resolutions which had been put into his hand. Mr. Canning's abilities .were, unquestionably, transcendent: they were of that nature that those who had bad the pleasure to hear him in the House of Com mons never quitted their seats, after a debate, without feelings of admiration for the mar., however his argu: ments might have failed to convince their judgment of the excellence of his cause. When he (Mr. Birch) looked to the transactions which had lately taken place, he was aware of the arduous task which Mr. Canning had in constructing the late Administration, as it might now be called. He had to encounter the greatest diffi culties, the greatest obstacles in emancipating himself and in liberating his S3vereign from the thraldom in which it had been attempted to involve both. But, when lie (Mr. Birch) looked to Mr. Canning's conduct whilst first Minister of the Crown, he saw everything in it that was manly and upright; and when he looked to the conduct which he had proposed to pursue here after, had PROVIDENCE spared his life, he saw every thing to approve. In our domestic situation, the coun try was promised a redtiction of expenditure, which would have been a great relief in the burdens of the people. In our foreign policy, Mr. Canning's conduct ' had been such as to draw forth the respect of every foreign country in the old, as well as in the new world; and England, under his rule, maintained a higher rank among the nations than she had for years before. He hesitated not, therefore, to say, that by the untimely ~death of Mr. Canning his country had sustained an ir- 1 reparable loss.—( Here Mr. Birch read the Resolutions.)' " 1. That, in the opinion of this Meeting, the death of the Right Honourable George Canning, late First Lord of his Majesty's Treasury, is a subject .f deep and unfeigned regret to the nanny. • 2. That this Meeting, in cemrnon with the country at large, is impressed with lively feelings of regard and attachment, to the memory of a Statesman who, while striving, under circumstances of no ordinary difliculty, to establish an enlarged and improved system of national policy, fell a sacrifice to t►e fatigues and anxieties attendant on his arduous office. " 3. That, while the splendid talents and private virtues of the late Mr. Canning will cause him to be remembered with sentiments of esteem and affection by his more imehediate friends and eonnem tioos, the liberal and enlightened policy. whether foreign, domestic, or commercial, which he laboured to introduce into his Majesty's Government, entitle his name to the lasting gratitude of his country. " 4. That the inhabitants of Liverpool, bearing in mind, in ad dition to more powerful and general considerations, the important services of Mr. Canning, when their representative in Parliament, feel especially desirous to erect some permanent memorial of a flan who thus laboured for the true glory of his country, and thus died in that country's cause. " 5. That i Monument be erected to the memory of the late Right Hon. George Canning, and that • subscription be entered into to defray the lost and contingent expenses of erecting such " 6. That a Committee be formed to receive subscriptions and to adopt all preliminary measures, with instructions to ca ll together the subscribers at large, to consider and determine as to any plan or design which the Committee may recommend." Mr. Moss said, that in consequence of the absence of Mr. Bolton and Mr. Gladstone, be had been requested to second the Resolutions, and he had very great plea sure in doing so, because they met his approbation, and he was sure they would receive the approbation of the Meeting at large. Mr. TURNER said, that he had great pleasure in at tending this Meeting, to unite his feeble testimony in shewing respect to the memory of Mr. Canning. He considered the death of Mr. Canning as a great national calamity. He was willing to hope, that the highly gifted Nobleman whom his Majesty had thought fit to place at the head of his Government, would have the good sense and the wisdom to pursue the line of con duct chalked out by the master hand of his truly great predecessor. He hoped that the mantle of Elisha would fall on Elijah. Mr. WALLACE CURRIE alluded to the different cir --,es under which the Meeting was assembled then, and when they last met three months ago. Then they met to congratulate his Majesty on the appoint. ment of a Minister who was now no more, and who bad died accompanied by the regret of the nation. Mr. THOMAS SMITH said, that before the question was put to the vote, he begged to say a few words in opposition to the motion, a task which he could have wished had fallen into better hands than his. He had heard the foregoing . Gentleman say a great deal re• specting the eminent services which Mr. Canning had rendered to the town of Liverpool; he thought rather to the merchants of Liverpool. Thase exertions had, been used in order to rescue them from the fiscal laws which then existed in this country. He entirely agreed that Mr. Canning had exerted himself in this way; but had he thought to rescue not only the merchants of Liverpool but the country at large from that overbear ing system of taxation, they might then haVe joined not only with Liverpool, but the country at large, in erect ing a monument to his memory. Mr. Canning's exertions had, however, been mole to increase the trammels of the country. He had raised the taxes from sixteen millions (the amount when be first began office) to nearly sixty millions, and had, consequently increased the number of prisons and hospitals in the country. 'Had he pursued a contrary course, we might have challenged and defied competition, and instead of I our being now a nation of paupers, we might have been an example to the world of active industry and com merce. Mr. Canning was originally but a poor man, and for any exertion he had made, he received ample remuneration. He had, while increasing the taxes of his country, been increasing his own emoluments. Had he not been presented with a service of plate, together with a salary of 14,0001. a year, on his appointment as Ambassador to Lisbon? And whence did this money come, but from the pockets of the starving and fa mished people? On purpose to defeat the object of Mr. Canning's friends, he would propose, that the mover And seconder should add in the Resolution, " certain inhabitants of Liverpool," or " Mr. Canning's friends in Liverpool." If they would agree to that, he would withdraw any further opposition (Applause and hisses). Mr. Joszvo BIRCH, M.P. explained, that the resolu tions included the inhabitants generally ; and that it would be idle to suppose it intended to comprehend every individual in the town. The proposed alteration would.be very material, and he did not see any good that could arise from it. Mr. SMITH said, as the Gentlemen did not seem in- drop fell ; and the body having hung the usual time, dined to exempt those who differed with them from seas delivered over to the surgeem, to be dissected and joining in the measure, he and those with him would anatomized, pursuant to his sentence. endeavour to exempt themeless by votes, even if he stool a'one in his opposition; but he was satisfied that many of his fellow townsmen felt as he_ did—(Loud cries of No,TM). He would now, therefore, beg leave to move the following resolution: " That this Meeting, in looking back to the history of oar soca try, during the time that Mr. Canning bas been in public life; observing that the taxes have been Increased from about sixteen millions to fifty-four millions a year; geeing that, in consequessee of this, crimes and prism,* had been increased in number and in mag. nitude; seeing, as this country does, that the poor nee Ism been snipped of his fond and clothing, and that pauperitrta has been in creased foer•fold ; and seeing, that, only a few months ago, one of Mr. Canning's tolleagues declared, in his place in Parliament, that we were then within forty-eight boars of a system of barter, or, in other words, in a state of anarchy and revolution; recollecting these things, mad seeing that Mr. Canning bas had a large share lir the production of this state of things, this Meeting sees no occasion for the adoption of the measures proposed." This Resolution, which the speaker dictated to the 1 clerk, was frequently interrupted by persons in the Hall 'calling out " Cut it short r " Will you give it vp ?" 1 " You're one of Cobbett's Pensioners!" &c. and conj. derable laughter was created. It was, however, just about to drop, when Mr. MITCHELL called out that he would second it. He strenuously opposed the intended memorial of re spect to Mr. Canning, whom he accused of being ac tuated only by interested motives during the whole of his political life. His first object in getting into office, was to pension all his family on the public—(Hisses). Soon after he took 14,0001. a year from the people's poc kets, on the pretext of being Ambassador at Lisbon ; bat his journey was neither more nor less than on account of his son's health—(Hisses). The speaker afterwards alluded to his own long and unjust imprisonment dur ing the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, and the injuries received by Mr. Ogden, a man upwards of 70 years of age. He declared he never would sanction the erection of a monument to the memory of a man who had ridiculed, with contempt, the sufferings of poor Ogden; and concluded by denominating Mr. Canning a spouter and a ridiculer, whose whole life had been spent for private emolument only—(Loud expressions of disapprobation.) Mr. RUSHTON said he had made up his mind not to have obtruded his sentiments on the Meeting, so long as there was a prospect. that their harmony would not have been interrupted. He was sorry that Gentlemen had wished to make this place the arena of discussion for all Mr. Canning's public acts, and thereby inter rupting the general sorrow ; for, whatever Mr. Can ning's former life had been, it was universally known that he was a man of great talent and sterling ability. There were many acts of Mr. Canning's life which he could not agree with, and he particularly deplored what he had said on the subject of Reform and the Corporation and Test Acts; and if it was his lot now, as it once was, he (Mr. II.) would tell him, that he would claim, not only for himself, but for his fellow -townsmen, the rights of conscience and public liberty. Mr. Canning went into office at a time when there was a set of men who were jealous of his power, and he bad to contend with a variety of difficulties, and they would have tried every scheme for the purpose of extending industry, and opening commerce. He pe►- fectly agreed that the former parts of Mr. Canning's life were very objectionable, but what benefit cou'd accrue from the opposition of the mover and seconder of the amendment? The erection of a monument was but a trifle. If that were abandoned, Oey could not prevent the proud feelings of the people--a more im perishable monument than the one they had met to determine on erecting—(Applause). He fioped that the amendment would be withdrawn, and that the two Gentlemen wlys brought it forward would not divide the expression of public opinion on a great iublic event, one of-paramount importance to the peace, liberty, and happiness of this kingdom—(Loud applau,e). The MAYOR hoped, that, after the able manner in which the lasrGentleman had spoken on the subject. the mover and seconder of the amendment would be disposed to withdraw it. Mr. SMITH said, Mr. Currie and Mr. Rushton had bestowed their praises very lavishly on Mr. Canning ; but he still maintained his former opinion of Mr. C.'s acts. As to Mr. Canning's opening the commerce of free trade, he thought it ridiculous to attributelt entirely to that Gentleman. Did not Mr. Peel, the Duke of Wellington, and Lord Eldon, also p aticipate in that measure? The MATon then put the amendment; when only two hands were held up in its favour. For the original resolutions, all but one held up their hands, and his Worship declared the latter to be carried, amidst loud acclamations. Mr. THOMAS CASE moved that the Gentlemen who had signed the requisition should be appointed the Com mittee for receiving and conducting the subscriptions, which was agreed tn. The thanks of the Alerting being voted to the Mayor, his Worship returned thanks and intimated that books for entering the names of subscribers would be imme diately opened.—The Meeting then broke up. The Gazelle of last night contains addresses of col• &knee to the Kiso on the death of the Duke of Yana from the Governor and House of Assembly of the Island of Prince Edward; the Inhabitants of the several districts of Upper Canada ; the Clergy, Magistrates, and other Inhabitants of Upper Canada; the Barbadoes Auxiliary Bible Society of the Free People of Colour ; and on the death of Mr. Canning from the Inhabitants of Keighley and of Birmingham. The Bishops of Worcester, Hereford, and Gloucester, have had their names inserted in the list of Vice Presidents of t►e Meeting of the three Choirs of their respective Dioceses, able will shortly ►e held at Worcester. The Marquis of Worcester, the Earls of Coventry, Somers, Bathurst, Harrowby, Plymouth, Hard wick, Viscounts Dudley and Ward, Sydney, Deerhurst, Butner. Valentine, and a number of other Noblemen, have also become Vice-Presidents of the approaching Festival. About two o'clock on Friday morning, Mr. Hardi man, who keeps a small shop in Bishops Cleese, near Cheltenham, was disturbed by some villains breaking into his house. He instantly rose, and went down staire to protect his property, but was met by one of the ruffians, who attacked him with a knife and bludgeon, and attempted to cut - his throat. Mr. H. defended himself manfully; and although he escaped with lite, he now lies in a dangerous state from the seve►e wounds he received in his neck and arms. Doting the struggle he observed two of the intended murderer's accomplices standing in the door-way, with their faces blackened.— They succeeded in obtaining two silk dresses and some money, with which they decAmped. Two men were ap prehended on Saturday, but as nothing could be proved against them they were liberated. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, Mous/ 29.

Friday last George Champion, aged 22, and Jamb James, 21, were executed on the new drop at Exeter County Jail, pursuant to their sentences at the late Assizes, for a burglary and an extensive robbery in the house of Mr. Tucker, of Tiverton, jeweller. The men, since their condemnation, have been daily attended by the Chaplain, the Rev. EDWARD CRAVE" assisted by the ' Rev. W. CARWITHEN, whose unceasing endeavours have been amply rewarded by the penitence of the prisoners. Champioa was a native of Minehead, Somerset ; was vi sited by his sister on Monday, who remained the greater part of the day with him, and onTuesday she visited him again,and took a last farewell. Jamesis said to be a native of Bristol, and was visited by his aged father after his condemnation, who was much agitated by the inter view. Thursday morning the sacrament was adminis tered to the prisoners, in which Pickup joined, at half past twelve r, et. Friday, Champion and James were brought from the condemned cells and placed on the scaffold. On seeing the executioner, Champion ex claimed, " This is a melancholy death for two such young men as we!' To which his fellow-sufferer re plied, " Oh! yes, it is, George." When the ropes were adjusted around their necks, they bowed to the mob. Champion remarked to a Sheriff's officer near him, that he hoped his poor father was not in the crowd be neath to witness his disgraceful death, and then ex claimed, "there is a poor man fainted away !" evidently supposing the person to be his father. Champion con fessed to the Chaplain to his having assisted in robbing the house of a Mr. Marks, jeweller, at Cardiff, to a con siderable extent, land that the person connected with him had been transported for another offence. He cz,nessed a wish that his confession should be generally known, it hawing been stated by persons that Mr. Marks had not been robbed. Both the culprits joined the Chap lain in earnest prayer. When the executioner was about to draw the caps over their faces, the two unfortunate young men kissed each ether, and shook hands ; they remained hand in hand when the bolt was withdrawn and the drop fell. Champion was much convulsed for several seconds, and struggled hard. James was a • considerable time dying, but not so much convulsed as his companion.—Eseter breams Luminary, Aug. 27. WARWISK, Auo. 27.—Willians,Milkr, who was on • Friday last capitally convicted at our Assizes of the wilful murder of Mary Anne Lane, at Harbury, in this county, suffered the dreadful sentence of the law this . morning, in front of our county gaol.
