I -., + .. •• DIZURr-L NE THE;I7'R E. *awes Tragedy of Jarte Shore was pe4rmed last right, and Miss SONIKI4VILLK made her first appear ance in the character ot /Vida. Tliong;i the scenes its which Alicia tomes fora4lai are bur lets, they are importint ; loor passions are in perprtua.tl agitation; love, jealurisy, revenge, tkspair, :std niAn.-ss, make up the varieties that inflame her mill—and as the part is short, the transitions are propos ti , nably rapid and vigorous. Miss SiINIF.RVII.E.C, whose efforts in the Tragedy of llerii•am have :ilreasty te.ormrnentled her to vie public as an actress of ccnlsideo able rm. wise, acquitted herself in this as chums undertaking with 'alit and soccess. Her reputation, if it is not Much extended, cannot be at all impaired, by the exertion. it is true that a little more boldness would have added to the general effect, and was indeed re quired to express with its due force the high tone of feeling that properly belongs to this:unfortunate vic tim ot the passions. But great Allowances should be made for is young Lady vs lately introduced to the, Staze, the development of whose powers cannot be reial.red complete moil practice has established her enatidence. Her • interview with Hastings, in the apartment of Jane Shore, was managed with termitic- Table judgment, and displayed a command of ironi cal and sarcastic bitterircss. The compliment to his' charitable tutOhight visit was loudly applauded.— Where Hereirtir, throwing off all reserve, confessed and lustily] his falsehood, her rage was not perhaps so vehement as the occasion demanded; still, how.. eves, it had its merits; what it wanted in force was made up in dignity. The scene that we would se lect from the whole as affording the most favourable specimen of bee abilities. WAS that which follows the order for ext eating Raitinv. The agony with which she ackn )wledged herself the unintentional cause of his death—the calm affliction with which she listened to his reproaChes—the eagerness with which she pleaded to be forgiven—the tenderness with which she urged tier lave as a claim upon that I:niceness, and the despair with which she received his last em-1 brace, were correctly and affectingly illustrated The distraction was also well supported, and the most flattering applause was bestowed upon the fran tic speech with which she concluded her interview with the perishing Shore. Mrs. BARTLIEY. as ,ram Shore, displayed much feeling She delivered the fine moral reflections with becoming solemnity. in resisting the addresses of Hastings, her manner was well calculated to impress the !Mild with the since rity of her repentance. On hearing his avowal of • Jove, she seemed to sink undtr the emotions of asto nishment and disgust—too guilty for a proud dis dain, she implored with a terrified but resolute humi lity, Ink: ; eSeued by the interference of Damon/. Her terror Anizing her injured husband was very moving 0 * he piercing shriek with which she re kairea t e itititnatiOn that his life was to be forfeited • for the assistance he had rendered her, expressed af fliction at its height. Mr. ILita, as herd Hastings, contributed in no small degree to the entertainment of ike evening; and Mr. HOLLAND gave great satis faction as Dumas. The new Pantomime followed. Signor Vaaanes renmance upon 6i: instruments at - lbe tame tints tely very ingenious, and was much applauded. The tricks and transtornsatiims went off with in. creased facility.

FINAL EXAMINATION AND COMMITTAL OF THE ELDER WATSON UPON A CAPITAL CHARGE. Bow-slitter. —Yesterday curiosity attracted a great many persons to the Office, in consequence of a report having been promulgated that the elder Warms was to undergo a public examination ; in this expectais.On, however, they were disappointed, and indeed so secret was the business kept, that even those woo were couctrned, and brought there to give their evidence, did not know that Mr. Watson was in or about the Office. The Magistrates who attended in the course of the morning were Sir N. CoNANT. Mr. &ail% Mr. SKiTCIII.6I , , and Mr. Hines, but the examination of Watson devolved to Sir NautaNlEL alone, who was the Magistrate that committed him. Several persons waited at die Office until past three o'clock, and there being at that time no ap pearance of Watson, or an exa iiination of him, they separated under a firm confidence that what they bad heard respecting him was a mere fabrication. A halt-past three o'clock, the Office being per fectly clear, Sir NaTtimitat CONANT gave iustruc lions to the witnesses concerned in the examination of Watson to attend in Mr. Stafford's drawing-room, to which Sir NATHANIEL, Mr. Stafford, Mr. Watson, Mr. Cannon, Ms. Watson's Solicitor, Miell, the horse-patrole, and Rhodes and Goulding, the two permits who were stabbed, adjourned. Watson appeared composed, and was permitted to ; sit; the evidence of the patrole, Mien, was first read by Mr. Stafford ; but as that charge has been abandoned, it is alrgost unnecessary to detail it is the present report; it will be sufficient to state, thee at first it was considered expedient to commit him upon the charge made against him by Mien, as will be seen by the following committal. When Watson was brought to Bow-street, on the Si of December (the day after the riots). the sitting Magistrate (R. BIKNIE, Esq.) referred the examina tion of him to Sir NATHANICL CoNANT, at Wilite• ball, and the result of that ex rnsinition was, that Watson was committed to the House of Correction, under the following charge : 64 To the Governor of the House of Cessation, Uoldbath.l &Hs his Deputy, ikc. ' 4 Receive into your custody, this SA day of December, If IC, the body of James Warman, the eider upon the oath of Marks' on suspicion of ben concerned with two wiser persons, nor yet taken, in Monorail shooting at the said Miell, with iment to kill and murder Inns, the said Charles Wen. or do him sonic grievous bodily barns ; and to keep the said Janus Watson until he shall be discharged by due count of law; for which this shall be ycur authority. " Gwen under my hand and mild, Re. " a. COSANT: . Alter the examination at the Secretary of States, Watsln was taken to the House of Correction upon the authority of the above warrant, and. he has not been examined until yesterday, although the deposi tions of Rhodes and Goulding were taken and sworn to on that day. Mr. Stafford read them to Mr. Wat son, and his Solicitor—they are in substance to this effect ;—Rhodes and Gclulding are plumbers sad glaziers, at Hampstead, and on Monday the 2d of December, had been at work at Lord Mansfield's; on their return home they went into the White Lion and Rising Sun public•house. at Highgate, to get' something to drink. Moat eleven o'clock they were alarmed by the cry of tr Stop thief I" and they in consequilnce ran into the street, and saw • horse patrele sitting as his horse, with man standing by the side of his haw Goulding said to the patrole— D—n it, why don't you go after the rest of the robbers 1" The patrole raid he could not, as he had one of them in custody. Goulding rejoined. eg If you go after the others, we will secure the one you have." The patrols then inquired of the landlady if she knew Goulding and Rhodes; Being answered in the affirmative, he gave the Man, (who proved to be Mr. Watson) into custody. They thou laid hold of him, while the patrols went in pursuit of the Others. Mr. Watson then drew a dirk from his stick, and said, o If you don't leave I will run you through," and he struck at Goulding with the dirk, which perforated his coat, but only scratched his skin ; he then attacked Rhodes, and stabbed him in the thigh, but not to any dangerous extent. A struggle ensual, and they all fell into the kennel to gether. The patrols atthis juncture returned, having ineffectually pursued the ether two, and Mr. Watson was secured, and a pistol and a great many papers were taken from him. Sir NATUANIBL then intimated to Watson and his Solicitor, that this was the charge upon which be should think it his duty to commit him for trial. The witnesses were severally cross-examined by Watson and his Solicitor, the latter of whom put the following question to Rhodes . and Goulding : .4 Did Miell, the patrole, give Mr. Watson into your custody in the name of the King—by what autho rity did he give him into your custody I" They both replied generally. that Midi, on coming up to the door of the pablic-house, asked the land lady it she Moir *an did, sod Onolding) fib& upon her saying she did, Midi told them be had a prisoner,. whom they were to take care of while be went after two others, who had run sway. Added to this, they knew Miell to be one of the patrols; lie did not, however, use the words, if In the name of the King I charge you." Watson particularly examined Well as to the tithe of night at which the pistol was fired at him, but be refrained from so doing, when his Solicitor told him it was an unnecessary course topqrsue, Sir N. CO NANT having with much eundescendllin and liberality ;attained him that that :barge had been abandoned . Sir NATHANILL CoNANT stated to Watson, that his motive for not having had him up for examina tion before was,. that he considered that he experien ced superior treatment in the House of Correction, but in consequence of the approaching gaol delivery and general removal, he had considered it necessary that a commitment shoultkbe made out, in order that he might know what to defend himself ageism, and that be might bateau opportunity to Consult bleier' advisers therein. Ami.upon further trivia/ratios. fie bed -done it with a view to extend as *web Wise as possible to Mr. Watson, and to render bit' situa tion as comfortable as pomible under existing tit contstanccs. Watson thanked fir Natissma fir his Madan towards him. A coach wall aidemd to be is maims. M take him to Netvgate. Watson, bowery's, requested that the Magistrats, would Melva itiir Name tont* hint by undid), him back to the House of Correction until Monday next. Sir.NAIIIANIIII , said, that as he (Watson) consi dered it an accommodation to himself, he could not deny him. Watson observed, that as far as comfort could be expected in a prison, he had found it; indeed he had no cause to complain of ill-treatment, but he felt much butt at the attempts that had been made to put such a complexion on his conduct as that which, in the terms of the law, was described murder; this, however, was only the phraseology of the law. and as far as it related to himself he was quite indiffe rent, but with regard to his family and character, something more might be said, and acutely felt. His own prosOcts were so bad, and the general state of society so degenerated, that, were be again sent into the world, he could not feel much satisfaction or en joyment. Knowing, however, that his pi incipiei were just, and that he was innocent of those heinous crimes with which his name had been brooded, he should feel it a duty he owed, not only to society, but to his own character, to bear up against all his ' enemies. He would not cringe to any one, nor would 1 he ask a favour fronsthose in power; all he wanted, all he demanded, was justice. Mr. Cannon was desirous to know if any other in dictments were to be preferred against Mr. Watson ?. Sir N. CON ANT said, that he understood the Attor ney and Solicitor-General would superintend the framing of the indictments; he was not aware of the steps they were likely to take, but he assared Mr. Cannon that he should have every opportunity afforded him, as soon as he (Sir Nathaniel Co isiant) received information of the manner. in which Mr- Watson would be proceeded against. .I'he Solicitor and Watson in the warmest terms acknowledged the kindness of the worthy Magistrate. Mr. Watson was then committed for trial, 'at th next Old Bailey Sessions, for having feloniously. w: fully sod maliciously inflicted certain wounds opou the persons of James Goulding and Thomas Rhodes, with a sharp instrument, with intent to kill the said James Goulding and Thomas Rhodes, or with in tent to do them some grievous bodily harm, against the statute in that case made and provided, &c. &c. Mr. Cannon applied to the Magistrate loran - of admission to Watson in Newgate, and Sir THANUIL gave him the following : " To Mr. Newnan. " The bearer is Mr. Cannon, Solicitor to Mr. Watson, and 1 presume there is no objection to his seeing him in prison. " fan. 11, 11117. " N. CONANT." Lack, the gaoler, then put the handcuff on Wat son's hands, and accompanied bins in a coach to the House of Correction, preparatory to his removal to take his trial. Maosiox-Horns.—Yesterday two persons charged with a common assault, were brought up to be bailed, when a shoemaker residing in Alders, ate-street. pre. oersted himself as their security.—The City htarshal (Mr. Wontner) immediately addressed himself to the individual mentioned, and inquired whether lie was not the person, who on the day of the riots had, at 1 the time the military were summoned into his neigh. bourhood. thrown out certain violent reflections upota their appearance in the City of London ? The shoo. maker denied that he was the individual who bat used the expressions related, but said he bad We i mid by his wife that they were pretty strongly ez. pressed by a neighbour. The LORD MAYOR said, that whoever had made use of such expressions, deserved a severe reprimand, and it was disgraceful to the City of London. that on tho.day of the riots the inhabitants did not them selves manifest some courage in order to avoid the presence of the military. A few determined indivi duals, continued bis Lordship, would easily have put to the rout on that day, the unorganised rabble, whose excesses were unfortunately successful in Skin ner-street. Instead, however, of rallying forth to assist the legal Authorities, in order to quell an impotent riot, those who now so readily condemn the airWeirdt of the military, were the first to shut up their bawl and retreat themselves from personal danget, at a' , Moment too when their personal exertions WSW have almost instantly suppressed the general alarm. 1 If, ildded his Lordship, men of business, of family I l and property, will not protect themselves, it is high time that the aid of the military should be demanded. HATTON GARDE4.—Yesterday Clucks Coeviltil, a young man, was brought up for final examination is the custody of Thomas Tbompsoo, a constable. Arthur.Allingbam deposed, that he was a patrol', and lived at No. 11. New-court. Peter's lame.

GUILDHALL—The Stewards of a Bene6t Club. called " The Sick Man's Friend," were surnm,ned by one of the members to answer to a complaint, charging diem with refusing to pay him a weekly allowance of 11s. and also to show cause why they erased him from the list of m: tubers. It appearel from the statement of the complainant, that he had belonged to the Society from the year I 8 '2 ; that in August he fell sick, and ultimately had a bad leg, which rendered him incapable of wink. Up to tie 27th of November he received the allowance legit. larly, but on the following week his allowance was stopped, and his name erased, in cansequenc: of a Steward having, on the Sd of December, found hint in the act of shaving himself ! and, on a subsequent day, of purchasing a pennyworth of mill !..rile NIA-. ;straw animadverted in severe terms on the conditzt - Stewards, and ordered them to pay the man of allowance. - wr.—Yesterday Patrieh Downs, man. about 22 years of age, re-examination, upon the charge - principal perpetrator of the murder of .4 Stanton, a music printer, on Sunday morn. 4, in a coffee shop, kept by a man named Bestial, io George-street, Lae Dyot-street, Sr. Giles's.

I knew that I did not call any watchman, because there were two watchmen in the coffee shop drinking coffee at the time, the watchman of George.street and anos:ter; and they did not attempt to interfere, and why? because there was such a noise in the house, and the deceased being surrounded, they could not see or hear what was going is:slums:l," Jane Jealous and Sarah Rees both denied that any watchman was in the coffee room at the time tae deceased was attacked ' • eley might both beim anal after that time have been in the slit, ; they saw th..at afterwards several times looking for the prisoners, but did not see them drinking coffee.—Parker dett:rd being concerned in hustling the deceased ; he wits is the room at the time, but took no active part in tile affray.—Jane Jealous and Sarah Rees, who use thw 1 principal witnesses, having been threatened by sx , * of the gang that they would murder them if egy gave any evidence, they durst not tv.ilk in the st..et without an officer to protect them.
