Soon after the dismissal of these affairs, the Professor appeared with another Prisonec, a youth shunt 16 years of age, who said his name was Eduard Newton, that his father was a mer. chant at Leghorn, and himself in the office of a respectable Solicitor of the name of Cook, hi Castle-street, llo!bora ; he denied making a dis. turbance, but was ordered to find bail. THE FARCE. Of the first Act of " Is lle a Prince" not one syllable was heard--the second Act passed almost without interruption, in consequence of the Pit being emptied by the attendance of thly Oppuittion at Bow-street. When the Curtain finally drop_ ped, the entire company of the Pit would not have completely occupied three bettch:.s. During the first Act of the Free " Rule Bri tannia" was sung, in which the Orchestra were calkl on to join, in consequence of the success of Lord Collingwood ; hut they did nut comply with die Wishes for the cun. ! tatoy. " God Save the King," was also sting in the pit between the play and the fares, at which, the or derly.; in the boxes, set up a general hiss. This is the first time in our lives that we have ever had c,e misfortune to hear this loyal and national sung reedited silh expressions of disapprobation. It is to be observed, that it was nut -rung daring Cie play or farm on the stage; and consequently not be opposed on the principle of inter' upting the performances. Although rturiog the last act of the Farce there was comparatively little interruption, the Coaspatty did nut pay the slightest attention to the piece. The whole House was divided into conversation parties ; io these many of the Order. lys were so negligent of duty, as to join, turning their backs to the stage. .Daring the third act of The Exile, we were witnesses to a curious dialogue, which, as it might be difficult to narrate, we shall give as nearly as. we can, in the words of the parties. Professor Brandon (busing)—" How do you do, Mr. Scott ?"—Mt.

The detection of two of the men concerned in robbing the warehouse of Messrs. Crosby and While, clothiers, at Westbory, in this county, was a most fortunate circumstance, as it appears they had associates in situations which enabled them to dispose of the stolen property without suspicion, and c‘insequently their is.icketi traffic might haic been cam, d onto a must ruinous extent. On Wednesday, William Lloyd, a shopkeeper, at IVoare, by A a aritl4e,Somersctshire, was brought here by Rivet, the Bow.street Officer, and lodge►l in Fishertou gaol, expressly charged with having stoics' from the counting-house of Mr. Crosby, eight ends of superfine Spanish dark blue cloth, of the value of 1501. and iipuards, the property of the said Mr. Crosby ; asi‘l two ends of superfine English dark blue cloth, value (201. and upwards, the properly of Mr. Crosby and his partner, Mr. Thomas White. 0.1 Thursday, William Mac:irk, one of the men apprehended at Exeter, wis brought here by Mr. Sarel, High Constable of !hal city, and also lodged in Fisherton gaol, di:tr i ce.' with having broken open and entered the factory of the above Gentlemen, and stolen from the counting-house or ware-room several pieces of superfine blue cloth.—Lee, the other man, taken at Exeter, is lodged in Devises Brittewell.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Wednesday, Nov. 29. SITTINGS JITTER TEEM . Sittings before Sir JAN= MaNSFIELD. JOHNSON V. GENERAL )/ORGAN. This was an action to recover the Plaintiff's de. mend for repairing the roof of a stable belonging to General Morgan. The defence was, that the Plaintiff had only been employed to repair part of the rout s and that he had. taken off all the tilts unnecessarily. It was, however, proved, that the Defendant and his servants had seen the repairs going un without stopping the workmen. It was also stated, that the repairs which hail been done were necessary ; and tinder all the circumstances, the Jury found for the Plaintiff—D4mages 131. NACHULLS TX HASTINGS. The Plaintiff, an Attorney, brought his action to recover damages of the Defendant for an as sault, comn►itted under the following circu►nstances —The Defendant went to the house of the Plain. tiff to demand a debt, and thinking he had been kept longer out of his money than his ought to have been, refused to quit the house without be ing paid. lie was told that the Plaintiff was en gaged with company, and could not cunseaiently pay him at that time. The Defendant, not antis fled with this excuse, said, " I'll be d—d if Igo until you pay me." In consequence of this ob. stinacy the Plaintiff came out, and, after some al tercation, the Defendant pushed him. It was corn► tended on behalf of the Defendant, that the Plain tiff had adopted the custu:n of suffering creditors to call often for their debts, and that he usually treated theta as he had dune the Defendant. The Jury found a verdict for the Plaintilf....Damag►s one farthing, costs one shilling. MICfIoLLS V. *ZJIZAU. This was an action of tresspaas; the case was similar to the preceding. The Defendant, who is 1 ' a stationer, had given the Plaintiff credit, and he called on him for payment of his bill. The Plain tiff had sat down to dinner, and he was denied to the Defendant, who refused to leave the house, observing, " I will wait (or him until he returns." The man who had opened the door, told the D.:. fondant he had better call again, for the door could not be kept open for his vie pore. The Defen dant then said, " Get me a chair, and I shall be very contented :" he ids., said the man was a fool. Soon after he had uttered the last expression, the Plaintiff's family heard the Defendant run up stairs crying murder! and having repeated the cry, he ran out at the street.kiaor. For this trespass and disturbance the Plaiotiff sought damages. Sir J AMP MANiVIEGTO said, this cue is different from the last ; Mr. Nicholls is at home, and the de fendant comes to demand payment of a debt. He was at dinner, and did not like to be disturbed. The Defendant told that the Plaintiff was not at home ; he then runs up stairs and cries murder! as loud as he could. IVhat did he mean by this I Is a man to go to the house of his debtor and cry Murd'er ? You all know what is likely to be the consequence produced by this cry ; the cense. (pence might have been serious to the women and family of the Plaintiff. The Defendant does not not put any justification on the record. His con duct is not to be supported. It is not to he sup posed, because a debtor owe, money, that his creditor is to cry murder. The alarming of the Plaintiff's children and wife might have been at. tended by bad consequence. You will see what I damages arc due for such a disturbauce, commit ted without provocation or blows." The Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiff—Dail:lgs* one farthing ) costs one farthing. CARD V. GRIFFIN. The Plaintiff, a tripe-merchant, in Bermondsey street, sought to recover damages of the Defend. ant, a lady who keeps a temple for the frail sister. hood in the same neighbourhood, to recover damp.' for the following slanderous words:- 64 Yon stole a chest of tea, and three deals, from the India House." The Defendant did not justify the words, and the Jury found a verdict fur the Plaintiff—Da. manes 31. . Letters have reached London from Holland to the 19th, and (rem Emden to the 21st instant.— Those from the Litter place mention, that several ships had been seized in the river Ems, laden with British merchandis; ; but, the pre eautions employed, we doubt the accuracy of this account.
