A young lady made her first appearance here last night, in the charaaer of Ma arena, in the musical Entertainment of No Song no Supper. Her name is EL Lis, and we believe she is a sister of Mrs. Po v% ELL, but we could not trace any likeness.—Miss ELLIs is about middle size, well proportioned, and possesses a pleasing countenance.—The audience received her most kindly, and enabled her by their encouraging applause to triumph over the difficulties of her si tuation. She was therefore in a great degree free from embarrassment, and did not seem to suffer in her exertions. Her manner was animated and play ful, but her a&ion was not uniformly natural, and though free, did not display all the winning graceful ness of ease. As a first essay, it was deserving o; praise, and betrayed no defel which care and fami liarity with the stage may not remove; her voice is clear, powerful, and evidently capable of modula tion, but we do not think her style and manner of execution do much credit to Dr. licsa v who is an nounced as he preceptor. The air Relieve my Wants though extremely simple and affating, was given without feeling, and in dire& oppositiont o nature. This observation would be harsh, if it had any other obje& than to guard this young Lady against a false taste, which in its rage for the bra •Jura, would even make airs of simple pathos, in tended to speak to the heart, the means only of ex citing astonishment by a display of powers. Consi dering how seldom the qualities of sense and sound are united in the same person, we must regard this attempt a, one of flattering promise, and the lady an acquisition to the Theatre. Yesterday, about twelve o'clock, her MA J ESTY and the Plt I NCESSES arrived At. the Queen's House from %Vind,or. His MAJLsiv did nut arrive till about half past three. In the evening their MAJESTIES had a concert at the Queen's House, seleaed by his MAJESTY, and performed by her Majesty's band. The Princesses SOMA and Amu I A remain at Windsor. Yesterday morning, about nine o'clock, his MA JEST Y, attended by General Gvist NNE and Colonel FITZROY, rode in Windsor Great Park, and in speded the farms till about one o'clock. The KING has been pleased to appoint the Jo N PATON to be his MAJESTY'S Almoner in Scot land, in the room of DuCtor WILLIAM GLOAG, de ceased. The Earl of MAN FIELD is appoitcd Colonel of the Perthshire Militia. The 25th of this month is fixed for the Countess ofMouNTNORRis's Masquerade, at Ealing-grove. The F.arl of DARNLEY givcs a grand Dinner this day to the Diredors of the Antient Music, at his houst in Berkeley-square. The Earl of NIoIRA give% this day a grand Din ner at his house in St—larnes's-place, to the Prince of WAI, es ' the Duke of NORFOLK, Duke of Ltts- STEN Earl of Dct BY, Earl of GUILD: o D, Messrs. Fox, GREY, an , l SHERIDAN. Miss A BRA 'As' private music, last night in Park lane, was attended by a seleet party of friends. Mrs.llatassrsstav gave her third grand Rout this season last night, at her house in Pall-mall. Mr. Fox appeared yesterday in the House of Commons in mourning for the death of his uncle, the late Mr. CONOLLY. The Whig Club dined yesterday at the Crown and Anchor, but the principal Members were ab sent upon their Parliamentary duty. Mr. Biles t0 , .1: the Chair in the absence of Mr. Fox, and the ovening was spent pleasantly, but without any poli tical conversation. We hear that Mr. COLMAN has enlisted Mrs CHAP MAN, now performing at York Theatre, in his Theatrical Corps for the summer campaign. This Lady's versatility of powers must render her an ac quisition to any Company. -- DUTCH MAIL. - ROTTERDAM, APRIL 29. The probabilities between peace and war appear as yet to be equally balanced. The final evacua tion of the Cape, and its cordial communication to our Government, seem to declare in favour of the former; to which may be added a report, that the numerous French legions marching to Italy have received counter-orders. On the other hand, it is said that a French-Hanoverian army is colleFling at Nimeguen ; a French vessel has already been visitod by an English cruizer ; and the warlike preparations are still proceeding. 'this state of suspense is extremely prejudicial to the commercial interests of this country. Colonial products,and indeed every article,are extremely dull. The funds also continue in their depressed state : the rescriptions are noted at 631. The French funds are on the rise. A Dutch paper of the 30th April, gives the fol lowing article as an extra& from a Paris paper just received : " All the Continental Powers have a rooted inte rest in the preservation of peace ; England alone breathes war. Hence, it must be evident, that it the Cabinet of St. James's actually provokes a rap ture, the British Ministry will fly in the face of Bit! sentiments and wishes of all the Powers of Fumpe. What must be the natural and immediate conse quence of such a procedure ? Must it not impress upon the mind of Europe a firm conviaion, that the maritime ascendancy of Great Britain is incom patible with the repose of the Continent?—that peace can never he permanent and stable, whilst it is in the power of England to disturb and threaten it, at pleasure, on the strength of her navy ? To what possible events and contingencies his convic tion may ultimately lead, we forbear to enquire. It is not, however, probable, that any one power will be suffered to aft the part of a general bug bear and to dispense rain, or stmshire, to all the rest of Europe, as suits the whim and caprice of the moment. " The fad is, the British Ministry have ad 6d the part of a man who rashly provokes a quarrel, and in a moment of passion proceeds so far, that he knows not how to recede. It is not after this man• ner that either nations or individuals, who have jus tice on their side, condud themselves ; the natural way is, to state implicitly the cause of complaint, to demand reparation, to at with frankness and sin cerity: and then we will take upon ourselves to af firm, the dispute would be speedily decided." At a Court of Common Council, held yesterday at Guildhall, the following business was done:— Mr. Deputy BRICK WOOD was appointed a Mem ber of the Committee for carrying into execution the Ad of Parliament for rendering more commodious, and for better regulating the port of London, (in the room of Mr. Deputy It! k re, deceased) and one of the Nominees of NVest India Dock Stock. The Court appointed the eleaion of Junior Clerk of the Court of Requests to be tilled up at their next meeting. The Court voted their unanimous 'Clanks to the Rev. Mr. JOHN HUTCHINS, M.A. Chaplain to the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR, for the Sermon preached by him at St. Paul's, on Sunday last, being the First Sunday in Easter Term, before his Lordship, Judges, Aldermen, and several Members of this Court, and City Officers ; and that he be desired to print the same, and a Copy thereof to be sent to every Member of the Court. Previous to his Lordship going into Court, he ordered the price of Bread to be continued the same as last week, viz. gd. the quartern loaf wheaten, and lid. household. At a Court of Lieutenancy, held at Guildhall this day, Majors PLoNtea and Wic As, of the West and East London City Militias, were ele6ted Lieut.- Colonels of the same regiments. The LORD CHANCELLOR has not yet made any decree respeding the division of the property of the late CHARLES BARELR, Esq. as has been errone ously stated in several of the newspapers ; nor is it expated that his Lordship will be enabled to do so for sonie time to come. Yesterday morning arrived a Mail from Lisbon brought to Falmouth by the King George packet, in 13 days. According to letters from . Berlin, the Ei 'so of PRUSSIA intends going to Wilhelmsbad, near Ha nau, during the course of the present month. He is to pass through Erfurt. As this journey coincidvs with that which the FIRST CONSUI. IS to take through Belgium and the new departments on the left Bank of the Rhine, it is supposed that his PRUSSIAN MA ~esry will have an interview with him in some of the frontier towns. Letters from Corfu, of the 15th ult. mention, that the Russian Plenipotentiary, Count MOCENIGu ; was preparing for a tour through the other islands of the Republic of the Seven Islands. Mr. K :NG, the American Envoy, is about to re turn home. Mr. WILLIAMS will be left Charse der itrairrs. It is in contemplation to repeat this year the ce lebration of the anniversary of Mr. PITY'S Birth day, in the same distinguished way that it was ob served last year. The last accounts from Holland state positively, that the moniel people there are taking every op. portunity cf sending their cash and other valuables to this country. A letter from Dover of the 2d May, says, " The Messenger, Mr. Sisaw, is not returned yet. A French messenger arrived this morning from Calais, in an open boat, with dispatches for General AN DREOSSI, and set off immediately for London. Lord Cooes landed from Calais yesterday. The wind blows so hard that nothing can be expelled to arrive to-day, either from Calais or Boulogne. Letters received at Edinburgh, on Friday Last, from Petersburgh, dated 29th March, say, " That the Russian fleet ordered to be equipped with the greatest dispatch, and an army of thirty thousand men to be got ready immediately, and every thing begins to assume the appearance of war." It was stated a few days ago that Russia had ordered some military preparations ; but they were supposed to have been occasioned by the differences that had arisen between her and Sweden—differences not likely to lead to any serious consequences. It is generally believed, indeed, that the interference of France in the affairs of the Republic of the Seven Islands has given much displeasure to his Ism- RIAL MAJESTY ; but it is not likely that Russia will assume an attitude hostile to France at present. e•" . • LIIIY INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WESTMINSTER, MA? 3. CHATER V. BELL. This was a case for the opinion of the Court, upon a question arising out of an aaion upon a foreign bill of exchange, whether immediately upon the re fusal of payment a regular protest ought vibe drawn up and transmitted to the indorser, or whether it was sufficient to send him notice of the dishonour of the bill. Upon the present occasion the bill was presented on the 2lth April, and refined. Notice was duly transmitted of the dishonour of the bill, but the regular notarial document, recording such refusal to pay, was not transmitted till the lath of May. As the case has been already argued, we shall take but little notice of the further observations of Counsel. Mr. Co t , RTOP was heard on the part of the Plan tiff, and contended that mere notice was suricient without the transmission of the formal protest it self. Mr. G nus maintained the reverse of that propo sition. Lord ELLANBOROUGH observed, that this was a case of considerable importance to the commercial world. If he looked at the dieta in the old law books, they all ran one way ; but if he adverted to what the pr.oEhce was, he found it pretty strongly the other.— In the books it was laid down that the protest must be made on the day it bore date, and sent by the post of that same day. Contemporary writers of that time, which was about the year I tin, admit ted that such was the law, and that dodrine had been considered in the books as the law ever since But it did appear there was a general pradice to the contrary, which had been recognized by merchants, and that time had been given to the Notary Public to draw up the instrument authenticating the refu sal of payment of bills. Pei haps this was a relaxa tion which had been given into with a view to the convenience of the Notary Public. However this might be, his Lordship thought that a new decision on the subject might affei very materially the inte rests of foreign merchants. It would be too much to decide such a question without more minutely as certaining what the custom of merchants was. It seemed to him there should be a special verdid, and a formal finding of what was the law of merchants. He should be inclined to think, that notice in the common way, by protest, was not sufficient to en able an indorsee to recover of the person from whom he had the bill, and so the law was understood by all the writers upon it ; but as there were different opinions upon the subjeft, he thought it would be too much to disturb, without sufficient notoriety, a contrary pradice, which it appeared had prevailed. Putting the custom out of the question he had no• thing but what was contained in the law books to guide him, and they said that the protest must be made on the day the bill was dishonoured and trans mitted to the party, in order to furnish them with the means of recovering over. The other Judges concurred in the sentiments ex pressed by this Lordship ; but it being suggested that the sum in dispute was not worth the expence of a special verdid, the Defendant was advised by his Counsel to make enquiry as to the custom, and if it should be found universal in such case, to pay the money without further litigation. Lord ELLENBOROUCH afterwards sat at Nisi Prism. SPRING V. OWEN, ESQ. Mr. GARROW stated, that this was an action to recover a sum of 2101. for which the Defendant had adually given his check, and he therefore could not conceive what possible defence could be set up. The Plaintiff was a respedable dealer in pidures, and, as it appeared to him, conducted him self in hjs business in a manner the most honour able. He had an exhibition-room for the sale of the pidures of the ancient masters, and in order that the amateur might not be led, by the impulse of his caprice or want of judgment, to offer more for a pidi:re that struck his fancy than it was really WOT tit, he had adopted the plan of affixing upon each of his pidures its lowest price. The amateur conse quently could not be taken by surprise, if he saw a pidure that pleased him, he was able to ascertain at once the value which was set upon it. The De fendant was a Gentleman of fortune, and had pur chased at the Plaintiff's sale-room two pi Lures, one the Wise Men's Offering, and the other a View of a certain Square. The price of these two pidnres was 2101. ; he had also purchased another painting of Galatea, which, as the Plaintiff had consented to take it back, the price was of course to be deduded. The Defendant had given his draft for the money, but had refused to pay it, alledging that the pic tures he had bought were not worth the money. Proof was given the Defendant had purchased the pidures, and had delivered the Plaintiff a check for the payment of them, which had not been paid. Mr. ERSKINE said, he was Counsel for Mr. Owen Williams Owen, who was an amateur of paint ings, but as amateurs had not always a correct judg ment as to what they liked, they were liable, in the indulgence of their fancy to be imposed upon. 'I his had been precisely the case with regard to the De fendant. His Learned Friend had extolled the Plaintiff for his honourable mode of dealing, in af fixing a price to his pi lures, but he thought this by no means a criterion of his honesty, for if a gen tleman happened to pass by a broker's, and saw a pidure of Galatea, with the price of five guineas marked, he would pass by her with contempt. with out taking the least notice of her; but if she was marked seventy guineas, he would immeJiately buy her, confident that she must be the offspring of some great master, and accordingly she was packed up, and sent to his country-seat, where the purchaser exhibited her to his friends as a real Titian. This had been precisely the case with regard to the De fendant. Allured by the price set upon Galatea, he had bought her and hung her up in his dinii.g room, extolling her beauties to all his guests, white they were better employed in attending to the splen did courses he set before them. It turned out, how ever, that Mrs. Galatea was not worth the canvas she was painted upon, and of course the Defendant was desirous of returning her, and receiving his money back again. No, says the Plaintiff, we pic ture-dealers never return any money; you may have some other piihsre in lieu of her; if you,please you may have the Wise Men's Offering. Certainly, said Mr. Erskine, my Client would have been the wise man, if he had never offered to have any'dealings with the Plaintiff, who positively refused to take Galatea back, saying the Defendaht ILO taken the lady for better and for worse, and he must eith,:r keep her or iece — pt — Other pidures in lien of ber:,,,The Defendant accordingly had taken the Wise . TAn's Offering, and had most unfortunately given a check for the money ; and by that means, said Mr; Erskine, he has check-mated me, and I have nothing mere to say in his delmce. Verdid for the Plaintiff. SLACK V. PENNY; Mr. Easie:Ne stated, that tiiis was an action brought by the Plaintiff, a tailor, to recover a sum of thirtv-six pounds of the Defendant, a clerk in the. house of Messrs. Prescotts' and Co. ; the sum of twelve pounds had been paid into Court, and with regard to the rest, the minority of the Defendant had been set up as a defence. He inferred, that if a tailor found a young man in the respeEtable si mat:on of a Banker's Clerk, he was justified in trusting him with such cloaths as were becoming his situation in life ; he was not to ascertain with nicety, whether one coat, more or less, was neces sary for him ; hut if he gave him credit to ass amount, which was not extravagaie with regard to a person is such a situation, he was entitled to re cover his bill.—The delivery of the articles was proved. Mr: GARROW took up the cause of the Defendant with a very laudable degree of warmth and energy. He maintained that the Plaintiff had no pretence whatever to demand a shilling mole than what had been paid into Court. It was by the condud of such tradesmen as the Plaintiff that young men like the Defendant were brought to ruin ; they gave them credit for dress far beyond tbeir sphere in life, or their means of supporting it ; and thus young men, instead of attending to the duties of their bus:- ness,too frequently found theirway to the Play house, Hyde-park, and other places of fashionable resort, and their means not keeping pace with their extra vagance, they were obliged to have recourse to ads of dishonesty, which but too often were at tended with the most fatal consequences. Tile De fendant, he said, was the eldest of sit children of the Parish-clerk of Cheshunt, who, by his industry and labour, had decently brought up his large fa mily. The Lady of Sir George Prescott, observing his laudable exertions, had recommended her hus band to take his eldest son into his banking-house ; a situation in which, had he conduded himself pro perly, and not have obtained that credit from the Plaintiff, which had enabled him to resort to scenes of extravagance and dissipation, would have opened to him the road to fortune, and made him, instead of a burthen to his father, the support of the younger branches of his family. The Learned Counsel stated, that although the Defendant had been guilty of no alts of criminality, affecting his liberty or life, yet he had so inisconduded himself as to re der it impossible for him to remain in the situation is which he had been placed. It appeared that the Defendant, independent of mourning for Sir George Prescott, for which he was allowed ten pounds, had had, in the short space of a-year, six complete suits of cloaths. Mr. Garrow trusted, that the Jury would not, by giving the Plaintiff his bill, encourage tradesmen to bring inevitable ruin on unthinking youth. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, he should presume that the Plaintiff knew all he might have known respeßing the Defendant, if he had made enquiry into his circumstances. Had he enquired, he would have found he was a clerk at only a salary of twenty pounds a-year, and consequently, that in giving him credit, he was committing an at of imprudence. The Jury retired for near an hour, but on their return pronounced a verdic for the Defendant—a verdid which every one in Court seemed very much to approve of.
