Mr. gkstat.e sustained the arduois character of Tsang'. Ile appeared in it to great advantage. In all the scenes where he 'nfuses the poison of jealousy into the breast of .4/erine, he displayed the most con summate address. It was impossible to escape wiles lit;cl with so much artifice, and hence the wrongs of t h e generous and ilnstispricti:ig Alonzo sink deep into the heart, and avraken all its pity. If, in the early part of the charaCter, he delighted the audience by his judgment iral accurate knowledge of the work ings and progress of the passion which he engen dered and matured, in the concluding scenes be a .. d indished them, by his force and energy in the ex pressions of the triumph of his revenge. The scene where he reveals himself to A/onso, and explains the nsotivesof his conduct, abounded in beauties. His rat -is and sarcasms displayed the most command ing p e , Acts, and excited the most forceful interest. He Was ably seconded by Mr. CH Aar.rs K Mate, in Anse. This gentleman is greatly improved, and last ntpht displayed much force and feeling. His Aka was, in general, very fine ; hut, in the conclusion of the last scene, we thougnt it de fe9ive. He clenched his fist, twisted his arm, and knitted his blows; hurling defiance at the Moor. AM, sue, who, a little beforn, bed suffered himself to be trodden upon by the Mood-, caight, by this time, to be entirely sunk in grief and broken-lirarted. Mrs. Lircisrtet.o, was an inter esting Leonora. The energy of this Lady, is some times carried to violence, and she thinks it necessary •totte loud, to be imntessive Her Leo/,0P4 was free frmr mese faults ; she displayed much softness, and was deeply interesting. The dresses of Zany/ and Ake add were uncommonly splendid and the piece, upon t‘•e whd le, was admirably got up. The House b—vted .1 mu:tennis and brilliant audience. GEIMAS THS•TRZ.

The funeral WAS attended by the relations, and most intimate connesclions and friends of the deceased. It was condußed with the greatest s , lemnity, but, at the same time, in that plain, unoa tentatious manner, so consistent with the uniform tenor of his life. Mr. Scott had for many years labonred under a disease, the cause of which had baffled the sagacity and ,kill of the most eminent medical men in the kingdom. We understand that, with that philan thropy which so eminently distinguished his cha raEler, he direeted that his body should be opened after his death, that the seat and cause of his com plaint might be ascertained, for the benefit of man kind. This was accordingly done by a very emi nent surgeon and anatomist, Mr. Frye, of Glou cester, when his disease was found to have been a schitrus in the pylorus. A Military Court of Enquiry commenced its sit tings at the Hotel, in Leeds, on Thursday, before H•t.t. PLunta, Esq.

The business of the Court was to investigate a num ber of charges brought by several members of the Halifax troop of Volunteer Cavalry, against Captain Ingram, their Captain-Commandant, charging him with an improper appropriation of monies entrusted to him in his military capacity. On Thursday, the Court went through the charges, and Friday morn ing the Captain entered upon a very able defence, which he closed about twelve o'clock. The Court closed its investigation in the afternoon, hut the de cision will not be known till it has been laid before His MAJESTY. - _ Tuesday, as the first division of the Lancashire Militia was on its march from Dorchester to Brid port, they stepped to take some refreshment at Longbredy Hut, when one of them stole the land lord's watch ; it WAS Soon missed, and the landlord pursued and overtook them before they reached Bridport, and acquainted the Commanding Otticar of it, who immediately halted the men, ordered a search, and found the watch in the knapsack of the thief; be was diredly tried, and sentenced to 8(10 lathes, whsch were inflided nn the spot. On Friday and Saturday, prizes were fought for, with single-stick, at Botley. There was some of the finest playing ever known in Hampshire.

There being a hiith swell, and the weight of the anchor keeping the mast nearly upright, Captain Lark could only save a few spars and blocks. On one of the top gallant-yards, 0 , Blenheim, G.

His Majesty's ship Blenheim, of 74 guns, was commanded by Captain Bland ; she does not appear to he annexed to the fleet under Lord Nel son, nor, from the list published, :n that which sailed from England under Admiral Collingwood, neither do we find her name among those bet stated to have been on the Jamaica station ; from the cir cumstance of her having her colours flying (which Capt. Lark could plainly discern under water), it is covjettured, that the ship must have been in ac tion when the accident happened. In lat. SI. SO. Capt.
