Mr. T.'s performance of this very arduous character, demands our warmest praise. Th e applause, in every scene where Lord Ogleby is concerned, was incessant. Miss e Coorce's Fanny Sterling was extremely interesting. The rude vulgarity of Mrs. Heidelberg, and the malicious vio lence of Mit; Sterling, were well pourtrayed by Mrs. DAVENPORT and Mrs. GIBBS, Mrs. KENNEDY made her second appearance in the part of Betty, and ac quitted herself well. The House was well attended. Lieutenant WALLIS, the friend and companion of the unfortunate Captain WRIGHT, who arrived a few days since at the Admiralty, from a dungeon, in 0-hich he was confined in France, was first Lieutenant of the VINOEJO, at the time of the capture of that ves sel on the French coast. On his examination, the se verest threats were held out to induce him to crimi tate Captain WRIGHT ; and although he was not versed in the French language, .he was repeatedly threatened with the torture for his ignorance. On the murder of his lamented Commander, he was deprived of his parole, and instantly placed in close confine ment, in a prison at Verdun, situated on the river aiese. After two ineffectual attempts, he at leng th succeeded in extricating himselffrom this 'disagreeable situation. The entrance :o his dungeon had two doors, each with a separate lock, which he was compelled to pass before he could reach the outer wall. By the means of f,lse keys he was enabled to overcome this difficulty, and scaled the wall of 5U feet in height, with the help of a knotted rope. After exneri encing many difficulties, he reached Bruges in safety, and got from thence to Blankenburgh, where he obtained a boat, and wan taken on board the CoRN. WALL, Captain OWEN, and reached Dover on Sunday. —He represents the Tyrant as being universally de tested, and ascribes his protection entirely to the nu. =emus guard that daily attends the person of this destroyer of the human race. Provisions of all kinds are exceedingly cheap. The generality of the Eng lish prisoners at Verdun were well, but from the Cheapness of spirits, of a very inferior quality, many of the seamen had severely suffered. The report of a mutiny in the French Fleet at Toblon, We understand, is unfounded. The circula- Mrs of the report had probably received an erroneous account of a fact in the following letter (from an Officer of rank in our squadron), and the Admiral's barge had, by mistake, been converted into the Ad- Mira' himself : " Although we are seldom more than twelve tnglish miles from the French Admiral, he has not the civility to send a Moniteur. A few day; :tinct twenty-nine Pattern: brought out the Rearneldmiral't (Violette) barge, finely carved and gilt, from his chip, the Commerce de Paris. From them I received the inclosed account of the enemy's fleet, which corre sponds exactly with my own observ.ttions, and the official Report of the Admiral : " They state, that the flag-ships have not more than 600 men on board, and that number is reduced by drafts weekly for the army. They occasionally come out sixteen sail of the hie and ten frigates, and when the fleet is out of sight, make a show of chasing the in shore little squadron. We are almost tempted. to try their force. Their ships are magnificent to behold, and, in fiim weather, not ill handled."

PRICE OF BREAD. The Loan MAYOR having issued several hundred sUmmonses for Bakers, &c. kc. to attend at the Man sion House yesterday, his Lordship took the Chair at an early hour. He stated that, ending the returns to the Mansion House of Flour had of late been at tended with great irregularities, and that more than three hundred in number of the returns were this week made wholly at ninety shillings per sack; whilst many of their neighbours, most respectable Bakers, had made their respective returns at eig hty and eighty-five per sack; his Lordship, whose uty it was to set the Assize of Bread from the average price of Flour, felt himself consequently called upon to summon the parties before him, in order to give them an opportunity to correct such returns, or to enter into such explanation as they themselves must know was conformable to the Act of Parliament. His Lordship observed, that the liberal way of esti mating the average value of Flour, was to take it at fifteen shillings per sack below %bat was the average of wheat : and as Wheat at present was not Gnl7 gr. nerally good, but averaged at eighty-nine shillings per sack, he should certainly feel it his province to institute weekly every legal enquiry, until the price of Flour had got down to its proper level. Several were fined 40s. each, with a suitable a& minition, and told by his Lordship that the way to avoid the like for the future, would be to adhere strictly to the Oath they were obligated by an express Act of Parliament to subscribe to on entering into this particular line of business. MR. SALE'S GUINEAS. UNION-Hatt.—Tuesday this important case came on for further consideration before Mr. BIRNIZ. The Solicitor for the Mint attended, and requested a week's further delay, he having got further infor mation, and wishing for an opportunity to take the opinion of the Attorney-Gener.d, who was at pre sent out of tot., n. When requested by Mr. ALLEY to state What his newly-acquired information was, he declined, on the grounds that it would nut be prudent to do so. Mr. Alley then protested in strong terms against any farther delay ; he knew nu right the Attorney-General could have to give any opinion on the subject of his client's property, which had already been detained from hint one week, aad occasion was now sought to keep it out of his possession another seven days. Mr. Blame thought it would be desirable to have the opinion of the High LawlAuthorities on this case, it it could be obtained without much delay. He had, however, g.ven no opinion on the subject, either of the retention of the gold, or delivering it up to the officers, and prohibly if he were to give his advice they tvould not follow it. Goff and*Clark, the officers who seized the money, were then called in, and the Worthy Magistrate, after cautioning them, that however they acted, they would do it at tht!ir own peril, asked them If they were willing to give the money-up ? Both replied, they would father not give it up till they had heard the opinion of the Attorney-General. Mr. A Lute then demanded of the officers where the money was deposited ? They, however, contented themselves with merely replying, it was safe. Mr. Sale then, under the direction of his Counsel, made a formal demand of his property of the officers; .who, without hesitating, refused to give it up. He then demanded where it was, but received no iafor- Imation on that pint. Mr. ALLliii then, after again protesting against the farther detention of the property, gave the officers notice, that proceedings would immediately be insti tuted, both against those who detained and those who advised the detention of the property of his client.— ' He also wished the officers to understand, that it was not his ;amnion to proceed against them by arrest, as for It simple debt, and thereby affording. them an opportunity of tendering_the amottnt in Bank notes, and retaining possession of the guineas, but lie should proceed in a different and more summary manner. And one •which he cautioned them might not turn out so protitablY as they expected. Mr. Bowl.: then stated to Mr. Sale, that he had 'fixed Tuesday next for the final, hearing of this ques. lion, unless he should, previous to that time, have adopted some more summary way of recoveridg his property. H ATION• GA RDENe.-CRUELTY TO A gratims. —lases Chulley was charged with ripping open the belly of a foal belonging to Mr. Edward Kempton, of High gate, only because the foal strayed into a field belong ing to a Mr. Stringer, of which the prisoner had the care.

George Coop;r was brought up on a warrant, charged with making an attempt on his mother's, life, by stabbing her with a knife, and also with le velling a loaded pistol at his sister, swearing that he would blow her brains out The charge was folly proved; but, from the prisoner's behaviour whilst at the bar, he evinced all the marks of an insane person. He was committed to the House of Cdrrection, and the parties were advised by the Magistrates to apply, at the Quarter Sessions, ill order to have him detained as a lun,tic. BOW -STREET. —Yesterday Jeremiah Jame: Reading in custody on suspicion of having been guilty of divers frauds and felonies, was brought up for re-examina tion, when a number of persons attended, of whom he had obtained goods, and he was fully committed.
