COPENIGARDEN THLATIIE. . new Tragedy has long ceased to excite the interest', w hich it formerly did I this is less to be attributed tothe bom ber that are presented than to the quality of them. To fail, in an attempt of so much difficulty as that of writing a good Tragedy, is not, however, discreditable, as we must allow a Piece ,to possess some merit when ;k Managers think it worth producing on the Stage. • Of late years several. Tragedies have emanated from f e male pens, but notwithstanding the gallantry of the ;Imagers, Actors, and the Pithlie, none of them have kept possession of the Stage.. The Tragedy produced last night was from the pen of Mrs. •Hescahs, a Lady is not unknown to fame" certainly, for she has written maul Poems of considerable merit; and has obtained the only prize bestrwed by the floyal Society of Lite rature... Fifty Guineas for a Poem on Dartmoor. The Tragedy is entitled " The Vespers of Palermo." It is founded .upon the leading events of the conspiracy, or insurrection, which broke out in Sicily towards the end of the twelfth century,. and the consequence of which—though it looked, at first, merely to the removal of a temporary evil.-was the permanent- separation of Naples from SieilYi as 'a kingdom. The scene of the Tragedy is laid in Palermo , the capital of Sicily, aud.ths adjacent country. The story h as follows : • . - _ The piece opens with the arrival of duardi ?foci& (Mt.

A Commission for incr iringinto the state of mind of Sir Gregory Page Turntr, Bart. at present residing in London, was opened yesterday morning, at the Gray's. inn Coffee-house. At ten o'clock precisely, Mr. Whit marsh, the senior Commissioner, took the Chair, when eighteen Jurors answered to their names, and were sworn. Samuel Mills, Esq. was the foreman. The points of inquiry' directed by the Commission were— whether Sir Gregory Page Turner was of sound mind, and able to manage his affairs? and if so, whether he had alienated any lands, tenements, &c. whilst in that Slater. aadneat,.who was his heir ? Mr. WiIITMAIRIM then addressed the Jury, and, after Stating to-them the objects which they werensummoned klr, added,- that h am deemed expedient by the Lard Chancellor and the different Counsel engaged in the *atter. that the Jury should inspect the houte-in Villieb, 'Sir Gregory resided, in Bedfordshire.

The facts of the ease were these :—The.Prisoner had lived servant with Mr: Weeks, who is a builder, for a month and a few days. Me then absconded, taking with,him the mare . in question, a cart, and harness. Aker some difficulty : the horse was traced to the pox session of a butcher in the neighbourhood of Chelms ford, who had bought it of the prisoner \Vickers—the pithoder Wickert having bought it of Catchfale at a Ng low priee. •.: - -Under all the -circumstances, the jury :acquitted Wickers, who produced several respectable persons to speak to his . tharecteirr but found Catchfale—Guilty, against whom the capital conViction was recorded... The Learned JUDOS made some severe animadver sions an the conduct of Wickers, in purchasing a horse from such a youth without due inquiry. - Mary Dane was indicted for the wilful murder of her illegitimate male child,aV.Chadwell, in this county, on the 21st of July. ..,. . : '' It appeared in evidence 'that the prisoner was sister to the wife of a soldier.beloneng to the 12th regiment 'Of foot.

Coramoroko, Faubam e —John Pallet, the Fisc;ner Committed under the Coroner's warrant for the com mission of the above atrocious offence, arrived in town last night. He was brought from Neeiport in a chaise cart, with Kidman. 'who was examined as a witness be fore the Inquest, and the constable and jailer qf New port..lies hands were confined with handcuffs, and his . .person was otherwise secured. Throughout the journey he exhibited .a mixture of harcleeed 'villainy, and a strong disposition to avow the deed. At length, as he approached Chelnieford, the latter feeling prevailed ; ,- elthougirdtere was min uo manifestation of meet for what he had done. He toad! several declarations which betrayed the real state or the fact; and on arriving in front ofthe Court-house, which he at once recognised as the place of his trial, he expressed a wi di to see Mr. Hall, the Attorney for the prosecution. Mr. Hall was at the Saracen's Head Inn, and immediately came out, and went to the side of the cart on which the prisoner sat. The prisoner then addressed him, and said, is Mr. Hall, there, is no use in denying it ; I murdered Mr. Murnford." He then wencon to detail the particulars. He stated his previous hostility to Mr. Mumford for having pounded his rigs, and hawing him fined ss. for being drunk. On the night of the murder be was on the road when the Walden coach arrived, and heard Mr. tlumford's name mentioned ; he then resolved to put his sanguinary intentions into execution, and went to a place which he described, and cut the stake which he afterwards used to effect his diabolical purpose. Mr. Mumford, who was a very small man, 23 years of age, and extremely short-sighted, proceeded down the lane towards his father's house, and with a stick which he had burrowed was feeling his way ; when the pri soner first saw him he had advanced some distance, but he soon overtook him; he was then about to strike the fatal blow hut his heart failed him, and he desisted; Mr. Mumford heard some person near him, but 'from the defect in hii vi.ion, and the darkness of the night, he could not see who it was; lie, laiwever, asked, in a tone of alarM, ig who's there ?' the prisoner made no answOr, but stood still, and withheld his breath;. Mr. •Mumford then again. went on; and the prisoner, by a short cut through a field got before him, and stood by a . gate, rea dy once more to' strike ; his heart again misgave him, and he again desisted ; Mr. Alumtord went on to the spot in which his body was first seen by, Mr. Smith, and thither the prisoner followed. him, and made finally a desperate blow. at his head with the bludgeon, which knocked off his hat ; with a se coed &low he felled him to the ground, and then, by re ,peated strhkes, litaially smashed his 'skull to atoms. -Having accomplished his 'dreadful purpose, be retired a short distance frunsthe scene of slaughter, and re solved to run away; but„overpewered by the conscious ness of his villainy, lie became as it were rivitted to the spot, and had not the peWer to move one foot before the other, his eyes being' still directed towards the body of his victim. • In this state, is a retired part:of the road, he remained till Mr. Smith came up; he saw him ap proach the body and ride away; but still he did not move. Once more he essayed tnescaise, and.to quit the dreadful ; spectacle,. but he' could nor • resist' the polarise to again approach the laidi.tfiqd, WitifOirt_deterifirning exactly on what he should du, he took it upon his shoul der, throwing the head behincli.and was earrying it in that way when he was detected.- I,t-does not appear that Mr. Mu mford made 'the 'sliettit .'resists, iTidted, ciunpared with the paioner, he Was titte s tiy iiicapable of coping with sech knAorigoeisr.. .

His broiher lent him ss...before he left 'London, part of which he spent in soup previoes to his letting on the coach, and with some-of what . remained 'he bought a few oranges, and then gave a trifle to the coachman—so that he -could not have had more than two or three shillings, about him. On the prisoner being eatidisoted to the jail he . sheaved 'considerable apathy., .11i' was immediately double-- ironed, and placed in a cell under a proper geard...,oa his way from Newport he spoke. as if he were aware. that his doom was sealed. He however expressed great, indifference its to what might come of his soul hereafter —confining bisapprehefisions rather to what was likely to happen. to his body on his death. He...bad evidently a great dread of his body being anatomised, and spoke of this with undisguised horror. lie acquitted Kid man of having taken any past in the dreadful deed. Kidman, however, remains n the town closely watched. The profligate co nduct i of the prisexier has long been a subject of animadversion in the neighbourhood in which he lived, and his aged mother often expressed the greatest anxiety as to his fate. She also tried, but in vain, to check his career of guilt. • Chelmsford, Friday, half-past six. u. At a latebont last'night, all the witnesses who were ,examined berme the Coroner, arrived at the White Hart Inn, in this town, and early this morning, Mr. Knapp, the Clerk of the Arraigns, prepared the indictment. • At tee o'clock the Grand Jury assembled in their ,room, pursuant to adjournment, and very shortly after wards the witnesses on the back of the bill, seventeen in number, were swore in Court by Mr. Wells, the crier. The bill was then taken before the Jury, and the wit sesses were called in. At eleven the Grand Jury en `toted the Court, and announced that they bad . found ..a true bill against John Pallet, for' .

When the defendant was called on to say whether she admitted the charge, she indignant_ly denied the misfitting ; she never misfitted, not..she • and if there. was any fault, it must be in the plaintiff's figure, and not.in her abilities. Mrs. Hillier, a tall thin personage, repelled this with considerable warmth ;--her figure, indeed ! it was no such thing ; she assured the Coen that the sleeves of the garment. which should have been long sleeves, did not come mbch below her elbows ; and as for the skirt, it was so shout as to exhibit her legs se much, above the ancle as to be anything but decent: as she did not'like to shew her legs, or to have them shewn at the caprice of Mrs. brarris, she hopei the tommissioners would 'artier payment of her debt. Moreover she brought *winless, who had seen the gown tried nn, and had beheld the display of wrists and antes spoken of. Mrs. Harris, seeing the Commissioners about to decide, and probably thinking it might be againsi, her, ventured to hint that she did not think that they were proper judges of her case; what should they know about gowns, and the fitting of gowns: however they dismissed the case, w;th an nnderscanding that the contumacious dress-maker should alter the gar ment so as to fit Mrs. Hillier in a way that should not subject her, to indecent erposures (perhaps they were thinking of the Vagrant Act), without any fresh charge, or'otherwie pay the amount. nee v. TUCK.—The parties in this•case, and a wit ness for the plaintiff, were, as they described themselves, " regular cads" at Charing cross—that is, they were a part of that phalanx of nuisances who ply for the va rious stage-coaches at St. PAW'S Piccadilly, Grace church -street, etc. and who frequently, by force of arms, run away with young and old Ladies, and, whether they will or no, pack them off by the stages they are employed for, right or wrong—sending a 'Kennington passenger to Kensington, or a Richmond one to . Rom ford, and so on. This was not a case of that sort, but for money lent. Mister ,Pice had lent Mister Tack cer tain monies, at Is. a time, till they amounted to the sum of 11..55. (a plum to a ccd), and this too had,been done to comfort poor Tack when his fortunes ran low, and his thirst higis; when he was loaded with distress, and coaches did not load at all ; and many was the " drop of comfort" these five and twenty shillings had \pur chased for Tuck; but when (as the wheel of fortune will turn, as well as a coach-wheel) Pice found himself going down, and Tuck had taken his turn upwards, he ventured - to ask the rising cad for his blunt, as he called it. Tuck laughed at him, said it was all gammon, and would not refund a farthing : he did not mind treating him with a glass of blue ruin, but as to paying him any thing, he would be ruined himself first. Thus denied, 'PiCe sbught legal redress, and Tuck . was now asked • how he would pay -it ? but he only laughed—indeed, if philosopher at all, he was a laughing philosopher— and he seemed to bare been sacrihcing at his favourite *brine, that of Bacchus, till he cared for nothing nor no body, and 'he almost said as much. The witness for Pice was now called in, and he deposed to his having heard the defendant, Tuck, acknowledge the debt, when the Court instantly ordered him to pay it. This etas like en electric shock to the laughter and gin-lov iag Tuck, who became sad and chapfallen, and hum bly begged for time to pay it, which being grarstect, he departed the Court infinitely sobereth' - --• • • • SPORTI,VG • '7 . -• s• • The FA of Derby's Stag-hoonds meet as Tuned — ai at Cotte r . . . . hrn Common. .
