DRURY•LANE THEATRE. I A Drama, in two acts, called Shakspeare versus Harlequin, was performed at this Theatre on &W -ay evening for the first time. The principal inci dents and situations are taken from a piece written by Garrick, entitled Har leq uin's Invasion ; or, A Christmas Gambol ; intended to ridicule the taste for Pantomime, and as a reproach to the town for the desertion of their best actor and the best plays of Shakspeare, in favour of that species of entertain ment. The action begins with the arrival of Harle quin in England, and terminates with his defeat and capture, followed by the restoration of King Shak . speare. The characters are all made to speak, and employed on this occasion so many of the best per formers, that we subjoin a list of them : • H ar le qu in _ Mr. HASLET. Corp Oral Bounce - - • - 1' DOWTON. 63V•011 , de Mr. GATTI& Joe Snip Mr. Mumaros. Abraham - - . - Mr. KNIGIVT. Simon - - - Mr. °max:. _Forge - - - - Mr. Ressm.r.. Taffy , • - - Mr. Monza. Mercury - - "- Mr. T. Conic& Mrs. Slip - - - Mrs. Mumma. Dolly Snip - - - - Madame Venus. Sukey Chitterlin - - Miss POW!. Harlequin, who is here, as in other places, repre sented as endowed with supernatural power, does not always exercise it in acts of mischief; and those are only practised on his enemies. Compared with the god Mercury, who is made the instrument.of his defe:Lt and apprehension, he works greater wonders, and shews a more generous spirit. The character was dressed in the usual costume, and was played by HARLEY with much spirit. The new and various powers the different performers are called on to exert, is tw,t the least curious part of this whirnsical dram-s. HaitLey actually leaps through a window in the cr. Lrse of his functions ; and Madame VESTRIS, whose acting and singing all must acknowledge to have been delightful, is transformed into Columbine; and exhibited gracefully in one scene as a dancer.— The trials assigned to T. COMEX were of a still more arduous nature, for, in addition to his also darting through a window, in pursuit of Harlequin, he per forms solos on the flageolet, pianoforte, harp, cla rionet, and violin, in succession, concluding the scene in which these are introduced, with a display of dancing, by no means contemptible. OULfiltr, in two long sceles with HARLEM, was "very happy in the expression of rustic wonder ; nor must the humour of DowroN, in Corporal Bounce, pass unnoticed and unpraised - ; but the best piece of acting was decidedly that of AluspEN, and particularly in the ludicrous terror of his first encounter With Harlequin. KNIGHT, in Abraham, was lictie inferior. The Drama pro. cee.led most successfully, and was received itit pc:- fect good homour, till some time after the com mencement of the second act, when a storm corn menced,which at the conclusion threatened shipwreck to the hopes of the Manager. Russzt.t., however, who then came forward, pleaded se strongly for a second hearing, that the disposition of the majority evidently changed in his favour. The music is good, but chiefly a selection. Some nem and well-executed scenery has been introduced, and on the whole so much zeal and exec Lion to please the audience has been - manifested, that it wouldbe a source of regret if the desired end.sliould not be attained. llasesiosi-Iforsx.—Saturday, Samuel Goodimg, servant to Cap, I tain I).oris, formerly of the Life Guards, a?.elnow a Lieutenant in the Yeomen of the Guards, was charged with aiding his mas ter in escaping from Giltspuootreet Cumpter. Toe Captain was ch AI lcd oit h forging acce ptauces on Messrs. I) wtm.ntd for "WOO. It appears he had had great losses at play, end took that method of reimbursing hitneeli, in hopes of being able, by the sale of his commission (..eat 5000 goine,t), and other means, to repay the :rills liaelie they became Cat: ; but st.nie of theca got into tha ra oket, which discovered the fact, when he was apprelien‘l_cl, anti on Friday he escaped, his setvam (the pr.sent prisaner) beieg found in his room.--Messrs. Drum. mend, and a Solicitor on their part, attended; and Mr. Dot.- LAND, who was to have conducted the defence of Captain Davis, was press a .t during the examination. The prisoner, who had shed tears while waiting in the Marshal's room, _appeared to take a very serious view of his situation. At the desire of the LORD NIATUR, who said there was not the slightest resemblance between him and Captain Davis. he put a black handkerchief round his face and his hat upon his head. Disguised in that sn iw anr, he said the Captain left she, prison. To the questions of the LORD Malawi, the prignier replied in the following man ner :—" As a nun I do not know where (Vain Darla is gone. lie asked me to assist him in getting away,and whether I would take his place ? I could not do too much for:such a master, for be had saved me from starvation; fourteen years I hate known Lim, and I could not think of refusing hint.. I ustetto go into the prison to hint twice a day. As to where he is gone I cannot ao all say, for I know nothing mote of him after he changed his dress lie bent out in corduroy breeches, and had a bag upon his shoulder, but I don't know what was in it. I used to go to hint with a bag. Ile tuld me, if he got o'er this business he should go to America. I did not engage a post-chaise nor any other vehicle for him. The coat in which be escaped is exactly the same as this. He had a broad striped waistcoat and a plain hat with a cockade in it. He put a black handkerchief round his face, as I have now. I had done so because I had bad teeth. When he put the bag on he stooped down, with his face inclined to the ground, and in that posture he walked out."--.E. Frost, the 'Turnkey, WRS called upon to give evideseo. He let out the Captain. Mr. Teague, in answer to a question from the Lean :51,405, said, that Frost had never been found in a mistake be fare, during ten years service in the Comptef, antlthat his inte grity had never been questioned. Frets mid, that Mr. Wont. tier, the Marshal, had been at the prisms at half-past twelve, and c o nver.ed with the Captain, who was to have been exa mined the next. day. Soon after the Marshal went away, the Captain's servant arrived, and also a Gentleman. The latter waited some time, and then went off; and the Captain immediately asked whether the Gentleman had gene 1 Mrs. Stephens, the wife of one of the Turnkeys, said " Yes;" and in half an hour afterwards the escape was discovered. Upon the arrival of Mrs. Davis's sister, who came about two o'clock, and asked for the Captain, Mrs. Stephens went to see, and missed him. Wit ness then went to ascertain, and found that the Captain was gone, and that los servant wad is his place. Witness bad let the servant in some time before, and observed a black handker chief on his face. The Captain's face was covered just in the same manner; the bat was over his eyese lie carried a bag, and stooped; and appeared in every respect like the servant, who bad his hattilkerchichnote over his face than it was at pre volt. Witness eyed him from top to bottom, and had not the slightest suspicion of him. The Loma Maros then said, there WAS a great difference between the persons and faces of the two, aid declared the oversight on the part of the Turnkey was ex tremely reprehensible. Frost, who seemed meth affected at his situation, said, be had never lost a prisoner before. Stephens, aaother Turnkey, said, that he locked up the Captain every night, and slept in the room next to kis, antlthat be frequently examined the room.-Mr. Teague stated, that he bed given the most scrupulous orders about the custody of Captain Davis, to all the men employed about the prison confidentially, that they should take care to see Captain -Davis before his friends left the prison : he had ordered Stephens to examine the Captain's room eltieely, under an apprehension c: an attempt to escape. Frost had been guilty of a great dereliction of duty; but he (Mr. 'league) by no means suspected his integrity. The prisoner Was remanded. LANCASTER A. APRIL 4b This morning the defendant. who were convicted yesterday, of unlawfully assesilbling at Biuidey, were brought up to receive sentoncet Bimetal of them put n affidavits, stating, that theeclod so improper in tentions in attegi: s i s t r he Meeting. The sentences were—Knight,y and Broadhurst, to be im prisoned two years wit, in the Castle of Lancaster; John. Parry, to be .loned eighteen months ; John Adamson, fifteen months; and Wm. Fletcher, one year, in the same place, and all and each of them to be bound in their own recognizance in the sum of forty pounds, and two sureties in ten pounds each, to keep the peace for three years from the expiration of their several sentences. John Knowles and James Morris, wha had been convicted of manufacturing pikes, were then sen tenced, the former to one year and eight months', and the rawer to one year and ten months' imprison ment, in Lancaster Castle. THIS KING Hp WROB AND OTHERS, TOR LIEEL. The trial of Mr. Wroe came on next, and if the whole of the indictments against him and his wife and relatives, had been gone through, it would have occupied the Judge for nearly the remainder of the week. There were not less than eleven indictments , for different libels. Mrs. Wive pleaded guilty to the charge against her, and she was bound over to appear when called upon. It is thought that judgmeuful this case will never be called for. Mr. Wroe pleaded to two indict!nents, (for selling the Republican) and was convicted in each. He then, as well as his relatives, submitted to all the others. Judgment will not be passed till Thursday. THE KING V. CHAPMAN. This was a criminal information against the defen dant for a libel on the Magistrates, contained in some comments made in the Manchester 06wher, on a sentence of five years imprisonment, which they had passed on some persons convicted of combina tion for raising wages. The defendant was found Guilty, and will receive sentence next Term. PEEL AND WILLIAMS V. CHAPMAN. This was an action brought by the plaintiffs for a libel on them in a Paper (the,Manchester Observer), of which the defendant was then proprietor. The case has been already before the Public in more than one shape. A verdict was already obtained by-the defendants at Preston, the plaintiff having suffered judgment to go by default. That, however, was set aside, at Mr. Justice BAYLSY'S Chambers, at the re cent York Assizes, on the ground that a plea was omitted to be entered by the clerk of the defendant's Attorney.—The Jury now, after hearing the evi dence, gave a verdict for the plaintiffs—Damages 1:200.—In consequence of some technical defects in the pleadings, a ltule Nisi had been obtained in ar• rent of judgment. APRIL f 3. TUE KING V. WROS AND OTDERS. The defendant James Wroe, and his two rung relatives, were this morning put to the bar to receive sentence, pursuant to their conviction. The sentence of the Court on James Wroe was, for the first libel, (for selling one of Sherwin's Poli tical Resisters, containing the Address to the Army —not for selling The Republican, as was before stated), that he be imp:Loned in Lancaster Castle for six months, and pay a fine to the King of £100; and for the second offence(w•hich was for selling another number of the same work, containing comments on the Prince Regent's Speech), to be imprisoned for six months more, and at the period of such impri sonment, to enter into recognizances, himself in 1:200, and two sureties in £5O each, to keep the peace fur two years. The judgments on the other eis indictments, fur selling numbers of the Observer, to w!tich he had submitted, were not passed ; but it was with the understanding that they should not be called for, provided the defendant conducted himself well in future. The sentence on the younger Wroes, as well as on Mrs. Wree, was respired till next As sixes. • It is supposed they will not be called fur. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. MISDEMEANOUR AT THE INSTIGATION OF A FORTUNE-TELLER. Saturday, Sarah East, a very interesting girl, 17 years cf age, was indicted for maliciously intending to set fire to and consume the curtains and house of Mr. George Walsh, in Charles-street, St. James's- :quare, on the 17th March last. A capital indictment had been preferred against the prisoner for this offence ; but it was subsequently abandoned, owing to the humanity of the prosectf tor, and the prisoner was brought by Flabeas Corpus before these Sessions, to be tried for a misdemeanour 'alone. She pleaded Not Guilty to the indictment Mr. BOLLAND stated the case for the prosecution. He commenced by observing, that this was the most singular and extraordinary case he had ever met in the course of his professional practice. The young woman at the bas stood charged with an attempt to set fire to the house of her master, who, - as well as his family, had uniforMly treated her with kindness, without receiving, in any way, theslightest provoca tion, or without having, apparently, the smallest ob ject in view for the commission of so dreadful an act. Such appealing to be the fact, the prosecutor, actuated by feelings cf humanity, had withdrawn the capital charge ; but was impelled, by a proper sense of public duty, to put her upon her trial for the misdemeanour. The Learned Counsel, after these prefatory, observations, stated his case as follows : The prisoner was taken in as servant in the house of Mr. Walsh, the King's Messenger, in Charles -street, St. James's, where she had been kindly provided for during several months. It was due to her to state, that she was brought from the country with an ex cellent character, which'she maintained in the house up to the period when the unfortunate occurrence took place that formed the ground-work of the pre sent prosecution. At half-past three o'clock in the afternoon of the 17th March last, Mt and Mrs. Walsh were sitting in their parlour, when Mr. Walsh heard a piece of glass fall above stairs ; this was immediately followed by a cry of " fire" from out of doors, as well as from the prisoner, who was above. The drawing-room was occupied by General Vincent, who was not at home at the time, and to it Mr. Walsh immediately ran. On entering he found the window-curtains iu flames, but he succeeded, with • , • anct • - and' • 1 ; _i_ b a ling i an dteft ' 'brae assistance, not without ninch.eeort. usual empar to the D ory, it to then- to trouble, in extinguishing the Barnes, and set the alarm ; say, whether they thought, from the evidence, the at rest for that time.

From the general propriety of the prisoner's or conduct whilst with the family, no suspicion what- :h ever was attaches:lto her tiering,* previous alarms gc of the eveseiak; but, on this last uproar, her manner was so very erased, and she brayed such unusual Cc perturbation, that Mr. Welsh thought it his duty to an bring her on the following day before a Magistrate, th still being without any proof whatever which could cr implicate her in this foul transaction. While, how- Do ever, before the Magistrate, the prisoner herself vo- on luntarily furnished the necessary proof to Plank, the DO WI officer ; and of her own accord, without promise or O . solicitation - cOnfessed that it was she who had caused sh the fire; that she had done it with a red-hot poker, hi which she found in the drawing-room tire. She ad- Lag • miffed the kindness of her master and mistress, who its had always treated her well, and assigned as the s. only reason which induced her to act as she had done, e 1 the recommendation of a fortune-teller, who had ;a1 called about a week before to sell flowers, obtained, er admission into the passage, and for doing so incurred, RV the displeasure of her mistress. The latter, notwith- IL' standing, ordered a 6d. to this flower-woman, when v lic j she retired into the street, -and as the unfortunate ZA prisoner gave her this charitable donation, the un- a feeling wretch acknowledged the bounty by telling it, in her that she should never have an hour's happiness in nu life unless she attempted to burn the house, which rtl she enjoined her to take an early opportunity of doing.. The wretched prisoner confessed, that under .1 this i n she had acted, and that it'alime had , : I caused her to commit so shocking an outrage. The LI Learned Counsel concluded by enforcing upon the 1,1 Jury, the dreadful consequences that might have en- DI sued from the consummation of the prisoner's plan, DI and the necessity of making an example to prevent 01 the recurrence of such incendiary projects. •=*- . Mr. and Mrs. Walsh proved in evidence the state ment made by the Learued Counsel, respecting the L tour several alarms of fire, and the burning in the If first instance of the drawing-room window curtains, MI and in the last of the back of the sofa next the wall. , s Mrs:Walsh, in her cross-examination by Mr. ARA- e• BIN, said, the prisoner came into her service a few months ago ' quite a raw country girl, but with an )1 excellent character, which she had certainly sustained by the propriety of her conduct up to the period'of ft this unfortunate occurrence. She served the family I faithfully, was exceedingly fond of the children and o i attentive to them, and was extremely honest in every le respect. Mrs. Walsh remembered expressing her dis- A pleasure, a few days before the fire took place, at the admission of a flower-woman into the hall, and her K ( afterwards sending the prisoner out with 6d. to her; 111 lest she should be an object. The prisoner had lat- e terly been much affected in her head in consequence I of bodily indisposition, and she had sent her home i . for a short time to th; country in consequence of it. On the night of the 17th of March, after the fire had -- been extinguished, there was not the least appearance a 1 1 of packing up, no articles were missing, nor had any ' thing occurred to justify the idea that the prisoner k Imeant to convey away any property. The nursery-maid, and Perron (General Vincera's servant), proved that they bad not been up stairs Mn with any lighted candles, or to light any fire, in the oak course of the evening. Joi • Plank, the Officer, then said, that after the prisoner , of had been brought before the Magistrates, she was dint committed to his care; that she manifested a wish to lane communicate something to him, but that he told her lob first to consider, that whatever she divulged to him rfe I he would be afterwards beund to disclose in evidence against her. After giving her this admonition, she On still persisted in relating to him what she called "the whole story." Here the Officer stated her confession ° l ti ae in precisely the same terms we have already detailed I in the opening speech of the Learned Counsel. th The case was,here closed for the prosecution. Mr. ARAIIN addressed the Jury. in behalf of the la if defendant. He set out with admitting that he must ke concede the fact that the fire had been caused by the Si prisoner's own hand ; and on the part of the unfor- l 1 tunate prisoner, he begged to return thanks to the Directors of the Sun Fire-Office, for their humanity d a in abandoning the capital part Of the charge. The • Learned Counsel then, to prove the uniform good character of the prisoner, produced lel The Rev. Mr. Hillyard, Rector of Cowley, in Mid. Et dlesex, who gave the prisoner and her parents, who l, were honest and industrious working people, the very best character. ' rr . 1 Dr. James Wardrobe, proved, that the prisoner P was a patient of his for an gfection of the head, rli rising out of a bad habit of the body, which oftett led th to fits and mental derangement; if riot removed. - Mrs. Walsh, on being recalled, said ' the prisoner i " -- vii - , ~,,i , ,,, had had- fits while in her house; but not for' some! . 7.7. - --• . - 3 days before the fire took place.
