Last night, a new comedy, in tve ads, was per formed, tor the first time.

Sir Edward Specious, on his travels, meets with The Delinquent, in a plot Italian Inn, almost perishing for want, and knows him to be the man who wren ed and betrayed his.fittber —but, burying in oblivion all past injuries, 11'2 offers to proted him, and Lun; him to England,where %be Delinquent secretly wi.hes to come, fur the sake of seeking his lost treasure. They arriee and, in the first all, it appears that The Delinquent has bound himself to menet whatever his patron orders ; and Sae Edward having fallen in love with Meet Oliva Mandy. who is at school, at Mrs. "fishery's, and who thwarts him in his design., he orders The Del.nguent to arrest her, for money due to him for rent, thus hoping to get 04.1. a in his power ; hut, hieing disappoiiited, owing to Young Doric's system of seeing ceenpany. he com mands The Deiinitient to bear her on hoard his yacht, who at I first .tes.t..tec ; but. S r Edward telling him, that lie eliail seta to Nartleiniherlend, the vet!: minty where e eepturts to find the lost treasure that he seeks, and to gain which he has revisited England, at all hazard-, lie consents—and, in the fourth aft, when on the point ut forcing Olivia on board the ya :ht, Thr Delinqu•nt finds she is his own daughter, the very treasure that he sought.—After ward., in the fifth ad, he is persuaded. by Mljor 1 ornado, to deliver 0/scia to the care of Mrs./harry, who proves to he the wife of The Deaeeirent, whom he thought dead ; and who, having reduced him to &ware and beggary, turns governess to her daugh ters on purpose so teach her to avoid chow errors she has herself fallen a vidim to—they are, conse quently, reconciled—and, by the penitence of Sr.: Edward, and the benevolence of .il l jorT,riando, The Delinquent is restored to fr. cdem and prosperity. The comic part of the play consists of the quarrels and reconciliation of Old and Yew*: Dane, archi tects, and partners—and, whilst Ladu Compel/ (The Deldnipea's wife) ruins her husband by seeing com pany, null Doric. is made by it ; for, in the end, he gets trade, and the hand of Olivia In these very simple materials there is no novelty of character, nor of incident. The parts, as in this Author's former produdions, are written for the present Performers. and the interest arises from the satire upon the prominent foibles ut the day. See " I:ornfrano in fashionable life , with the manner of doing it, was that taken by the Author last night. There was not, however, an idea that had not keen retailed hefure. iThe two first ads went off extremely well, but the third aild fourth were fiat and tedious, and met with mulch disapproba tion. The excellent and interesting performance of Mr. KI:SI else, however, gave a most fortunate torn to the filth. The play concluded with much applause, and was announced, by Mr. Lewis, fur liture represeotation, amidst repeated ora t es and plaudits. 010-ia is a child of nature; loses her heart, a: first sight, to a young man, without knowing who or what Ire is, and has been supported toy an unknown benefactor. At a hall she meets him, dances with him, and becomes attached to him. An e, /04 etsot went takes place, and, in old Major To?nollo, she finds the pro tedor assigned by her grandfather, Lord Denver', when dying of his wounds in Indict. This is a towel situation, and loses all interest, from its improbability. It is also extremely un natutal, that The DA.,quesst, whom we are in formed is a gentleman of high blood. and talks of honour and fine sentiment, should, fur a paltry consideration, be prevailed on to become an ac cessary to the lawless passion of Sir krlicard Spe eioas, and carry off, by force, an interesting young woman, such as he hoped to find his child, and who, it appears, is really so. Old Doric is a very faint sketch of Old Rapid ; but wanted colouring and richness ; nor could that excellent performer, Mr. Fasvcee r, do any thing for it. Young Doric, the part written for Mr. Lawns, does not differ from all those assigned him in the other modern co medies; he bustled through it with much riled. Itfojer Tornado is that sort of worthy old gentle man Mr. MUNOCti is so happy in delineating. *the only attempt at originality of character was Tom larit, a Yin kshire sailor, become jockey, which was tilled by Mr. Este kY. with his usual ex cellence. Mr. BP tter es gave all the interest possible to Sir Lelword spei:ms. Mrs. Go Bits was very interest ing in Airs. Audrey. Mrs. N. JOHNSTON was loudly greeted, on herenarsuice. She pet formed with much spirit, and was extremely impressive. She looked very well, and spoke the Epilogue with just emphasis and good died. At the conclusion, she threw off a satin drapery, and displayed a purple apron, with Nelren, richly embroidered in gold. on it,aad the naval insig nia. In her head-dress she wore a peatl ornament, representaetg a ship, and repeated some lines to the meninty of the departed Hero, Lord (Vaasa+, with much energy and feeling. The house was quite lull. Mr. Beunros spoke the Prologne, which, in strong terms, urged the claims of the Author to the indulgence of the house, to the amusement of which he had so often contributed.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 14. The time of the Court was wholly occupied, this day, in hearing motions of course ; which, as tbey only related to matters of arrangements, settling of costs, the produftion of papers, &c. contained no thing, by any means interesting to the public. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WVITIIIIISTEII, NO,. 14. JUDGMENTS. TIRE KING R. THOMAS REVAK. This was an irnorrnAtion tried before Mr. Justice La weepier, at the lest assizes for Hereford, when the Defendant was convined of offence. against the Revenue Laws ; and, upon the motion of the Soli citor-General, brought up for judgment this day. It appeared upon the trial below, that the Defend ant, being an officer of excise, did, accept certain sums of money, through the medium of his wife, from one David Parry, a fish-curer, at Fishguard, in Wales, for permitting him to sell and dispose of, Vatious quantities of salt, free of duty, not for the purpose of curine fish, as stipulated by Aa of Par liament ; and also did suffer the said David Party te make false returns of the quantity of salt which he need in that way ; on which rezenns, affiJavors were endorsed as to the truth of them, the Defend ant signing his own name, and that of David Parry, to those affidavits, as it sworn before him, when it appeared at the trial, that Party WAS a lVelshusen, and could neither read, write, or speak English, but gave his evidence through an interpreter. The Court ordered the Defendant to be com mitted, and brought tip again on Mosotty the 25th instant. THE KiNG r. FRANCIS WELSTORD,GENT. This Gentleman was also brought np tor jndg ment, for assaulting and beating Mi Gen. Credriff. He had suffered judgment to go by default. From the affidavits, it appeared, that both parties were Attorneys. residing at Tavistock. Some mis tetd:rnateling having taken place tel;.tive to a small El! of cost;. the Defendant accused the Prosecutor of taking tf.e hie•iiiess of a client from him ; an answer followed ; and the Defendant wrote a se cond time on the subjen, when the Prosecutor, as it was stated, posted the letter at the church-how, in a conspicuous place, its his own vindication. The Defendant, provoked at this, went to the Prreeen tor, called him several opprobrious names, and, taking a horsewhip from tinder his coat, first si. ok it over his head, and then beet him severely. The Prosecutor, not wishing to let matters go too fat, write to him, stying, that if he would make some concession, with which he could be satisfied, he would think no more of it, otherwise he should seek redress in a Cetirt of justice. No answer was given to this ; but the next time the parties met, the Defendant repeated his abuse. and again horn.- whipped the Prosecute, ; and, when the ind:Elment WAS preferred, told him, he did not care about it, as he had as long a purse as himself. On the part of the Defendant, his own affidavit was put in, stating, that the first provncation had been given by the Prosecutor himself posting the letter ; and, being of a warm temper, he was irri tated by it ; that he afterwards made every our in his power towards a reconciliation, and expressed every sayer, and etenttitlbn frit hie pest condev. Several other affidavits of Sir Nienasseh Lc i^•a, and other Magistrates and respenable pet sons that neighbourhood, were rued, and represente,i the Defendant to be a young man of a very amiaine dis position, and most peaceable demeanour. Mr. Easels!, for the Prosecution, offered to refer the whole matter to Mr. TEMPLAR, Master of the Crown Office, Al the parties were all professional men, and from the same part of the country. 'Fint Court, however, thought it a sunjen in which the Master could not interfere. Mr. ERSKINE then observed, it was most extra ordinary, that all assaults of this kind were com mitted by persons of the most peaceable dispositions. Ile admitted, the posting of the letter wes wrong, but it was done in vindication of himself, being charged nith taking the Defendant's clients from him. Mr. Serjeant LENS, and Mr. DAMPIER, made a few observations on the same side. Mr. EAST, for the Defendant, dwelt en the cir cumstance of the whole business being of a private nature only, between these two persons, till the Pro secutor published the letter, which was the came of all the subsequent circumstances. The Defendant was a yonng man just coming into pralice, as an at torney, and sore a most etcellent charaner, as ap peared from his affidavits. He had made, and was still ready to make, any concessions that might be thought necessary ; and, under these circumstances, he trusted the Court would temper justice with mercy. Lord EL LKNBONOUGH.--" He did not conde scend to give any ansss er to the Prosecutor ' s letter ; for my part, my own feelings would have ditittated that I should have made an apology, and begged pardon. The public, to be sure, had nothing to do with the private letter which was posted up; but that was done by the Prosecutor, in exculpation of himself. The Defendant takes up the means of of fence, and carries Isis horsewhip about him. accu mulates insult upon insult, and he thinks it beneath his notice to make an apology. From the perse vering spit it. on his part, to humble and degrade this gentleman. it is necessary we should pm him in some humiliating situation; therefore, let him stand committed to the King's Bench, and he brought up fur judgment on Thursday next." 7honi4s Philips, who had been inclined for an assault, with intent to murder an Excise Officer. was convited of a common Assault the last Assizes for Carmarthenshire, and brought up for judgment this day. T:te Defendant was a publican, and the Prosecutor had gone to his house in search of some smuggled brandy, when the former struck him with a shovel, declaring 1111 intended to kill him. On the interference of the Prosecutor, the Defend ant was ordered to be discharged at the end tff one month, and to give his own security to keep the pea:e for three years. JAI Otter was also brought up for judgment. convined along with one itamiltsll, for assaulting John Ferris, Mate of the seagal revenue cutter, and an Excise Officer, and obstruning him in the dis charge of his duty. Randall did not appear, and Otter was e - ,;,yam-- $ • • ted, and ordered to be broeghr. up en the 26th in- "ti stint. Z.

The cause of dispute betsseen those parties, arose from Mr. Str.vart's requesting, that the De fendants would shelter a poor man, whom he found in the road, either dead, or in a state of insensibi• lity, about two o'clock in the morning ; an alter cation took place, and the Dllkndants Assaulted the Lieutenant, and took his dirk from him, which they broke in tw:s. Mr. Cutaeow for the Defendants, observed, that in a town such as Deal, it was well known that drunken sailors were to be found at :,11 hours of the .1 night, lying in the streets. His clients thought this might be the case, and refused admittance to the 7, man in question. In fad, it was the waiter, and nut the Defendants, whoditi so. - Lord EL Luis sotort.rs thought, that hi the cavite ` l lOll of c )aimoit humanity, n,) hituse should refuse to ' give su•sistance at any hour.

Tile paper contained but five causes; two of which were postponed, on motions, unto the Sittings atter Term. Two others being tiodefended, were soon got through. Toe fifth was as follow,: LOINS 9. ALLEN. This was an aclion to recover a campeasation in damages, for an assault and battery. The Plaintiff was a dealer in horses, and the De f.:rid:ant an eminent tripe, cow's.heel, anJ cats'-niedt merchant. It appeaeed, from the evidence on the part of the Plaiati that, on the 19th of Mitch last. be went into the Oe‘ensiAnt's shop, in caropany with a Mr. Gardner. and a terrier slog. Allen, in a very rude manner, asked, who owned the dog ? and umile down a whip, f.:r the purrsosa turning it out. the P/ainuff was very williag that the dog should he turned out; but the Detendant, insisting that the dog's master should also go nut. some words e::sued, the consequence of which was, that the Defendant collared the Plaintiff, and flung him into the suet/. On this he bought his aflion. On the pact of the Defendant, SeljeAnt Etsv stated, that though dogs might be, in most places, very harmless animals, yet a dog in a tripe-shop could not be considered as such ; and, as to the Plaintiff's being shoved out in a violent manner, he assured the Jury, it was no such tiling ; he was only turned out in the ordinary way that persons are, when they behave ill. Several witnesses were then called for the De fendant, who all swore positively, that the Defend ant and his wife condoled themselves with the greatest civility, and that the Plaintiff behaved in the most violent manner, positively refusing to turn out his dog, which roamed about the shop, quite unrestrained, picking up all the delicious parings of book and honey-comb, which here and there strewed about the floor. The Defendant being in dignant at the condua of Mr. Evans, took bias quietly by the shoulder, and, with all the gentleness of a ttipeiirnerchant, led him out of the shop. Sir JAMAS MANSFIELD, after fruitlessly expressing his wish, that the parties should come to some agreement, observed to the Jnry, that, on account of a defer in the pleadings, in his opinion, the Plaintiff must have a veto:het ; but he thonght it best, however, to take their opinion on the tans r f the case. His Lordship then read over the evi dence; and the Jury, after a short consideration, found a verdiEl lot the Plaintiff—Damages twenty shillings. The Hon. Hon. Capt. F.
