THE E . DRURY-LAM,. List night, a new Comedy was performed for th e first time, called A Prior (storm. It is the joint pro. do Rion of Hem itv J mac FYI:. Esq. the Poet LW- Teo, and his son-in-law, Mr. A RNO a.u. The clia raaers were thus represented : Henry Mortimer ..... Mr. ELLIITOM, Caonel Raymond Mr. HA II VM , .111. Sir William Freeman Mr Iluwvw. Mr. Lounger Mr. PALMER. Young Freeman Mr DEC .1 sir. Patrick O'Fhatt-.1.... Rn'ain Ploughshare. At'en nl.Gre..or Mnt!i Fr,ctuin Mk, Dowc4N• 1 - 171:1v M`Dwilltl ll NID UJtif. Mk. I)arA me. The Play commences with ringing of bells in a country preparatory to the nuptials of Henry Mart;nire and this Frermm, the daughter of Sir William, which were to take place that day. Tt appears that Miss Freeman, five years be fore, had been engaged to a Colonel ltermoond, who went abroad, and is supposed to have been killed at the storming of Seringapatam. As an excuse for her second attachment, we are told, that she was very young ; that the •Colonel was the choice of her father, ansl of a grave disposition ; that, upon her acquaintance with Beare, she fottad she had never loved him ; and that the sentiments she felt were those of friendship and admiration for hi; many virtues. When the account of his death ar rived,it was a release, and the lovers looked forward to their approaching happiness with all the warmth of mutual affellion. The villagers are met, the favours are distributed, when the gallant Ca'ond arrives, and claims his mistress. Mortimer refuses to resign ?.er. until Sir who had been an officer, and relired t' the country, where he had 'pined his rustic I,eighbours to meet the foe, as a volunteer, jealous rl iris honour, and his word, once pledged, claims itom his daughter the execution of her engagement Vit Colonel Rayatoad. An interview takes place, in s,bich she determines cot to marry tire Calved, or any other person. unless /re release.s her from her obligation. The interest is much excited by a fatr well scene between the lovers ; which Colonel lieo mood is a witness to, when he forego*. his claim, and joins their hands. There is ars underplot, composed of reuag Freeman and a very interes.ing young lady, Emily, the companion ?lf big sister, whom he wishes to make his mistress ; but, converted by her virtue and her charms, he offers to make her his wife. R , lsly rejefts the arr. An old Scotchman arrives, proclaims her an beireks, and then come , her turn to noes, which she did warn the most polished grace, and net in vain. Mr. Lauver, a Bond-street beau of the most extravagant order, accompanies young freema,n to the. Com, try, and gives an opportunity 1 - ,,r some sea satire against the eccentricities of modern fasbiori. An Irish servant, his wife, Fanny, and a rustic, Ito(Oin, are introduced as a relief to the serious. scenet From these very simple materials, without any due striking incident, is produced a Comedy, that re ceived throughout the most unboueded apprabid for, with the exception of two or three party hisses, svhish were soon lost in the general applause. The language is elegant and classical ; the semi, ments are beautiful and refined ; and the mural is excelcat. Some parts of the latter Asns want torn pr.:ision. The Scotchman is tedious. Miss DU NC Apes part was admirably suited to her talents. In the eafly scenes she was lively, playful, and engaging; and, in those of pathos, there was not a bosom in the house that did not sympathise with her gentle sorrows. She sang a most beautiful air, which was honoured with repeated bravos, and rapturously 'neared. Mrs. H. Stoonms was extremely interest. fan in gangly Miss DEC A ?AP had a song in Fenny O'Siall,r, which she gave in her best manner, nnd made the most of her trifling part. Mr. Et. a 'slam:, Mr. Dow rot, and Mr.BAttlillltOlSE, exerted them selves to the limos:, to give force to the very little assigned them. Mr. Dec ta e's part was the most prominent in the male cast of the play. Mr.Pa e rasa was admirably dressed. and gave an excellent ca ricature of a Bond-street lounger. Mr. JOH sr oa t was quite at home in the Irishman; the part, however, did not possess iray novelty. He sang parody of the old song of The lifirou Tree with much era. A eery puerile opposition was made to its eurvre. Mr. Dana me spoke the Prologue, which turned on the prevailing taste for novelty. The comedy was announced for representation this night, amidst cries of " Bravo 1" " Bravo !" and thunders of applause. Miss MPG AN spoke the Epilogue with great s pi r i t an d v i vac i ty .— , rile house was crowded, and displayed much fa sbion. His Royal Highness the Duke of Ca A R and a party with him, were in the PaINCL'S boa. COYRNT•GARDEN. An apology was last night made for Mr. Coo tr, at this Theatre, and the part of .►lacd«fj, which he was to have pet formed, was sustained by Mr. Ctiartaatt. Mrs. SIDDONS received great ap plause in Lady At.rbeth. A whole flotilla of Sunday Paper is, we under stand, to be launched in the course of the winter : There is to be The Rarifier,The Sharrr,The Trimmer, The Aurora, lie Moruneg Star, The Comet, The Creirent, The English Liox,The Brutal, and a French Paper, Pie Dimanche. Monday se'nnight, there was a numerous ntrend ance of Free and Accepted Masons, under the Grand Lodge of England, at the Provincial Grand Lodge and General Cornmaniention for the province of York, held at the Provincial Grand Lodge Room, in that city. Biota CD Pest sr excite MINES, Esq. ion of of the late worthy representative for York iu Parliament, was installed, with the usual solemnity, Grand Master, and the Right Hon. Lord Pots.' mo ver, Junior Grand Warden. A most excellent charge was delivered on the occasion, by the Rev. Brother JUIIM PARKER, who aaed AS Grand Chap lain. The Hon. La atxcr. Dcranas, M.P. De puty Grand :gaffer, was present. Brother SMITH, of. Hull, aced as Deputy for the Hon. G. It L. Dunn As, senior Grand Warden. After the busi of the Meeting, the Brethren partook of a sumptu ous entertainment, in the Grand Lodge Room, and the day was spent with that union, harmony, anti hilarity, never-failing attendants on the meet of this moat benevolent and respeftable so ciety. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Oct. 29. W. to Et, &Are .If 11. M All/ WA RING, t.. Chairmass, and a Bench of jattie.s jar this County. IKCESTrOus P %Ft r.NT. Lewis Landperte was indided for assaulting Eliza Landprede, his infant daughter, seven years old, with intent to violate her person. When the females had retired from Court, accord ing to order, Mr. Cesse, for the Prosecution, nhserved, that the Defendant stood charged with a crime, at which nature itself must shudder ; an assault, with intent to violate his own child. The Jury collie only as. certain the perpetration of the ad, (torn the infer ence to be drawn from the bids that would he steed in evidence ; which, though Imeyon l all he ha I ever seen, heard, or understood, and the most Mimi oba ble and inemossible to his mind, he vi as instructed would he eeehlished beyond all conteelimeron. The Defendant had been some years marlic,l to ihe lady who stood by the unhappy ch:ld (her mother), hot from some disagreement arising hei women them, they had separated some time previous to thi, horrid transaction, which occurred about the month of August lest. They had three other younger chil dren, two boys and .1 girl ; what the condtrd of the parents were •to each other, had nothing to do with the question then bef ire the Court. By som, means, the wile had been examined hefore the Grand Jury who found the bill ; however, he admitted, she cad not be called as a witness before the Coen. The evidence of a wife against her husband, in cases of personal violence to herself, was admissible, but not when a third person was concerned. The prin. cipel evidence would, therefore, he the child her self, tire maid to whom she communicated the xho minable story, and Dodor Stanton, a medical gen tleman of great respedehility, who we, cellel in, aid who, he understood, was the chief means of having the Bili of diathermia preferred. From these witnesses the tads would appear, and it would sue for the J try to cereider, whet might be the fair inference to be drawn from them. In conclueen s he confessed, the greatest dmliculty he felt in the case, was remake the Court and Jury think such a thing passible in human nature. The little girl, of a very interesting appeantnee, we; then put upon the table, and having satisfied the Couri of her knowledge of the tendency of an oath, in svhlm o she said she was instructed by her mother, she was sworn, and deposed, that her father was a jeweller, and lived in Craven-buildines, Drury-lane, and, 'inee their separation, her mother resided with he; graq4mother. in Craven-yard, opposite. &he was going on eight years old. Some rime previous to hot. mother's parting from her father, she slept with the latter, and her mother lay in her little bed. She continued to lie with her father ever since, until the discovery of the transaction in question. She Oren seated a clear, circumstantial, and unequivocal reletion of facts, which delicacy pieveres us from repeating. In which she was corroborated by Mary Egan, hef tether's servant maid (who first made the discovery from the child hersell) and Dr. Stanton. she WA* not cross•examined by the Cou isel for the Defeadant, and was attended, during the whole trial, try her mother, x genteel interesting-looking young .women, who appeared greatly agitated during the whole time. Mary Egan, in part of her evidence, said, that one night her master said vim:thing of an n i tem to her, which enraged her so !nevi, that she • in a way retaliated, by accusing hen, in A 3 indirect rna,i per. with this unnatural crime; and he replied, that it was all a plot and conspiracy between her, his woe, and the d'--n'd old b—ch of a grandmother. Mr. GURNEY made a very able and impressive arldresi to the Jury, on behalf of the Defendant ; ob serving, that a case of this nature, in order to gain credit with them, should be one where no suspi ciao whatever could attach upon the party prose curing. This was not the present case; differences of a very serious nature had arisen between the hus band and wife, and a separation had taken place. They were evidently at daggers with eace other ; he living in one place, and she, with her mother, residing exactly opposite, where the children had daily access to her. lie dwelt with much stress upon the mother's instruction to her child upoe the nature of an oath, the improbability of th r story she had told, and the possietrite of such a conspiracy existing. lheDefendant did not call any witnesses. The Jury had turned round to consult each other, without waiting for a charge from the CHAIRMAN, who was turning over his macs for that purpose, when he addressed them : " Gentlemen, before you consider of your verelid, and lest the speech of Counsel should have made any impression upon your mind, contrary to the real feels in evidence, it is necessary that I should recapitulate that evidence, and that yeu should reconsider it, and possess your minds thoroughly with it." Ile then read over the whole of the evidence, and observed, with resped to the competence of the child, her knowledge of the nature of an oath, and the account she had given, being too tational for her tender years. it might be all very true, but it did not therefore follow that she had not spoken the truth ; if she had told an honest talc, why doubt her ? but if there were any grounds to suppose this to be a wicked conspiracy to destroy the man, they ought to have been proved in evidence. The mere conjedute of Counsel was riot sufficient. ;Ilse Jury must net decide upon conjedure ; but upon fads. lie del etre to levee heard some evidence relative to this conspiracy ; but there was nothing even as to his general cheeneer. Ihe Jury, eine a short crinsnitatinn, desired to hear Witnesses to the Defendant's eh:trader. Two ladies were then ex-ankh - J. who give him the general charader of .t gitod father ; one of them, however, never was an inmate of his house. To rebut this evidence, time apprentice-boy of the Defendant (John Melvin) was called ; he stated, as to his master's moral charader, he was enough to ruin the morals of any young 1;0 in the world. His testimony, on the whole, however, did nut go to attach any particular stain upon the Defendant. The CHAIRMAN again addressed the Jury, and told them, there was nothing whatever in this sub sequent evidence which could alter the case one tittle. The evidence stood as before, uncontra dided in every point ; and, as to the conspiracy, it was, he repeated, a mere conjecture. • The Jury, in a moment after, returned a Verdi& of Not tiara" ; which WAS followed by a general .Y 9.1~"! • ? i murmur through the Court, hisses, and other marks of disapprobation. Immediately after the Defendant retired, his ap prentice, John Melvin, was brought into Court. in ructody of a constable, who relatad. that the De fen lint met him outside the door, and insist. 'd on his taking the boy on a charge of perjury. The boy w.ts discharged. Lhoslort,s Red, ,, vrtie was inclieled for keeping a disorderly house of ill-fame, in Portland -street. Soho. The evidence again‘t her were some of her more orderly neighbours, from some of whose evidence (after stating other irregularities in her condiist) it appeared, that she, or some of he► damsels, exhibited themselves almost naked at the drawing room windows. Mr. Arr.Ev, for the Defendant, observed, that if indisments of this nature were to be supported npnn such grounds 43 this, and nakedness was to he con sidered a proof of guilt, he very much feared, most of the fashionable houses in town would be indict able. The Prosecutors failing in proving th it the D-- fondant was the owner and occupier of the house, she WAS ecru/red, with an admonition from the COAIRMAN, not to contiud herself in such a man ner in future. An application was made by Mr. Kis A re, to re spite a recogniz:ince till the nest Sessions. in a very singular case. It %VAS an indiament airainst seve ral creJitor; of a bankrupt. charging them with a conspiracy to prev.mt his obtainii,g hi, cerCticatc.— The motion was grantej. PO/. I CR. BOW-ST It VET. Last Friday, two Ladies, with their daughters, one eleven, and the other thirteen years of age, attmaded bef4e Mr. lIOND Hod Sir WILLIAM PA so Ns, and exhibited a complaint against the Master of a Boarding-school, not far from Enfield. charging him with assaulting their person. and taking very indecent liberties with them. Upon their oaths, the Manisrnarcs granted a warrant to apprehend Yesterday, he was brought to the Office, in the custody of Donaldson, who appre hended him just as he was going out in his ch Ilse. The ladies and their daughters attuned, and substantiated their charges the circumstances of which are so extremely indelicate, that we are com pelled to for bear stating them. The school is kept by the D. fendant's :vile, and she is assisted by Defendant, who, we are very sorry to say, is a Clergyman, and appears to be near seventy veers n age ; his hair is quite white with years. The Defendant brought with him to the Office, thiir.‘en of the young ladies, and the two teachers, and called several of them as Witnesses to prove that this was a m tlicioas pro.ecutirm„ ire conse quence of the young lairs, who male the charge, ha l ing lately been punished for not getting their tai s µerre& ; and having said they would dolor the school, or words to effeft, when they went home. The 7." itarts, giving credit to the charge, bound the parties over to prosecute, and ordered the rrisoner to find bail. The Defendant observing Mr. Waldron, the aoors in the Office, asked him whether he would be one of his hail? Mr. Waldron answered, he did 11 , 1 come to the Office for any such purpose ; and applied to the MAGIS. T sr rs to get his dau,;hter Irnnr the school. They informed him, that rested with himself. II TT.)9.0 ART)ree. On Monday last, two brothers of the name of Ileramersfen undetvrent an examination before the MAOISI'RATCS at this Office, charged with the C - pit.tl offence of horse-stealing. in the neighbourhood of Hatharn. in Northumberland. The hones in question were recovered some months ago ; the one Was valued at 50, the other at 70 guineas. By the vigilance of Trott. assisted by some• of his brother officers, they were apprehended about a week ago . One of the same family was convieted and trans ported. for a like offence. not long since. They were fully committed for trial. - - This day, the Sessions — of Oyer and Terminer, and Gaol Delivery, will commence at the Sessions- House in the Old Bailey, for the trials of persons charged with felonies. There are upwards of se venty fur trial, several of whom are for capital of fences. Yesterday, Mr..leviervis, the Bankrupt, under went another examination before the Commis sioners, at Guildhall. Mr. CULLEN attended, as his Counsel, and, alter three hours had elapsed in the investigation of the Bankrupt's affairs, the latter delivered a written estimate, wherein he stated his losses, during the first two yeti's he was in business, at 8,83.51.; and, during the succeeding eighteen months, at 6,6231. He could not account for these lasses in any other way, than that he had been selling his goods considerably under value. The Commis sioners were of opinion, he ought to be remand ed to prison. He was accordingly conveyed to his former place of confinement. Last Thursday, the men employed in pulling down the church of All saints, Lewes, discovered a monument that had been long concealed between A large Gothic arch, and one of the main columns that supported the edifice. This antique relic was formed of plaister, in the shape of a coffin, and ex hibited a rude painting of two infants, who had doubtless been there intvrre.l in my centuries past. The fignres represented were of two different co lours, and tolerably fresh. Monday se'unight, about twelve o'clock, the re mains of the late air ROWLAND WINN, Bart, were deposited in the family vault, at Wragby. The shroud and lining of the coffin were of white sa:in, and the outerside covering of black velvet, orna mented with an elegant silver plate and escutcheons. A large concourse of people attended on this solemn occasion. The whole was conduSted with uncom mon regularity, in a style of solemn magiuricence seldom seen in this neighbourhood. An hearse, two mourning coaches, and his own carriag•-, attended. J,nt Wrxxiasssum, Esq. SHEPLEY W A rsors, Esq. Miss WI ILIA SISON. WITS.W•TSON, and the Stewards, appeared as chief mourners. All his tenantry were invited to pay this last tribute 05 :vire& to his memory. and every one who had in any way been etwaged in rendering services to the family, received a mournful weR1(1110 of the loss of a patron. His nephew, Jour. WILLI* soots, ESC'. a youth in his 12th year, succeeds to the valuable estates of the de ceased. 'PA '9'141 - SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET THIRD oi:T' MEL OR HOUGIIiOPi... ....

The persons who frequent public-houses about Paddington, and the Edgware-road, hare, for some time past, been annoyed by a coachman of the name of Prwey, who used to make a practice of taking share of the liquors standing before customers, without waiting for an invitation. Being known as a fighting man, and of no common stature, he prae ti.est his tricks with impunity, until Monday last. when a bait was laid for him, at a public-house at Paddington, which he frequen'ed. Some persons, who were drinking together, called for halt a pint of gin ; and, on i:s being placed before them, Pcsa. try, without hesitation, drank the greater part of it. s.:..vyet, of the name of Kemp, resented the insult. and, after a few words, he and the intruder with drew to the fields, where a battle took place. At the commencement of the fi;ht, Kemp shitted from his opponent's blows ; but, at a convenient oppor tunity, he went in, and beat him in a style that ex cited the admiration of the speaators. He was carried off the ground senseless. A woman nam.al Aiim Peti t e; who resided in Parker -street, Bloomsbury, having been missing for some time, search was made for several days without elle& Her chamber-door beiag fastened on the inside, it was suggested by the neighbours that she might have made away with herself; ac cordingly, a constable '4% is procured, and the room dour forced, when, shocking to relate, she was dis covered extended upon the &tor. with her face downwards, quite dead ; upon turning her, .he pre sented a most dreadful sight, neatly the whole of the flesh on her lace being eaten off, as is snaps-awl, by the rats.
