s • . . HATNIAIRET. Last n'ght, the entertainments were Matrimenr, Firs Miles Of, and the very laughable farce of Animal Magnetism ; which, in the hands of Messrs. FaWCITT, LISTON, MATTHEWS, and Mn.l C:284, lost none of the ale& it produced wheh 51 , 1 brought forward, at a time when every geuileman was an EIPSDIPIe, and every lady a philosopher. To ridicule this prop •nsity was the intention of the Author, in which he has most completely succeeded. Mr. Lisrus's Jctreey was an admirable performance, rich in nAt ural humour. Mrs. Grass was in high spirits, and contributed ...er full share to the mirth of the audience, who ex pressed their approbation by repeated plaudits. The House WAS crowded. LTCPVII, STRAND, An elegant and crowded audience 'art night at. tended at Mr. PA LM ka's LrEtures . on Heads. 'l • he entertainment is still encrewing in public favour, and will, no doubt, continue to awn& a large portion of the fashion of London. Like the celebrated G. A. STIVILNI. the Pisprietor has been pa. tcularly for ornate in having his Lectures drawn op in a manner grifineatly satirical to indulge the proneness which people in general have to condemn the foibles of otben, at the same time that they are sot or harsh as to make enemies of those who happen to come under his lash. 01.1 maids, old bachelors, Jews, and lawyers, all fleck to his house, and laugh heartily at the caricatures of their several o culiari lies; pleased, however, to find, that no trifling por tion of amiable qualities have been blended with their railings. The portraits of Nrt.sote, and PITT, last night drew forth thunders of applause. Some allu ions of a political nature, which, in the first representations of this entertainment, excised a tri dingedegree of d.scontent, were entirely omitted. POETRT.

The case, however, was most c" early pray -d on the part of the Prosecutria. attended with several circumstances of brutal and unnecessary vvdetscs ; and her evidence was materially con firmed by other witnesses. Toe Prisoner teither confessed nor denied the charge ; hut stated, tat he was much intuicAtesi, and knew nothing at all about the matter.

This impow.nt cause was tries before Sir Att. Ave CliAlesull and a Sspecial Jury. It woe instituted by John Mal Esq brother and heir•at-law of the Igo David Mill, Esq. of Bath, to recover the pos session of a house in Marlborough-buildings, Sec. devised by the Testator, in a codicil to his will, to the Defendant, Dr. Brown (who previously had taken the nanrls and arms of Mill). and who had ban appointed joist residuary legates with t! !e finistiff, to the Testator% dried' ; the moiety of evilikh, it wet presumed, amounted to upwards of 1. It was contended, on the pase-ef the aP i rstiff; that the Testator was not in his paten kind at the time of executing the codicil, and that undue influence was praCtised on him by the De fesdast, to procure the codicil is his own favour. The discharged servants of the Testator wete called to prove this statement. Co-nor (butler and valet) said, that Mr. Mill, a , the time of executing the codicil in question, was not in his perk& senses; would often walk wildly about his ream talk to the piEtures, and discover other incohereteee. The house/Said and footman gave similar evi dence. On Connor's testimony was much affeded by his contradidions. On behalf of the Defendant, and to prove the sanity of the Testator at the time of executing the codicil. Mr. Scudamore. formerly an attorney of ' this city, Dr. Harri iron, and the Rev. Dr. Web ster, were examined. as haying witnessed the said codicil ; they deposed to the Testator's being then in sound and disposing mind. Dr Gibber, Dr. Gillum, and Mr. Taylor, the so licitor, gave evidence as to Mr. Hill's sanity at the time of executing another codicil, which, however, was not now in dispute. Sir ALLAN ClAYaar summed up the evidence. and proceeding minutely through the circumstances, he was stopped by the Foreman of the Jury, wi,o said, that they would sp ire his Lordship iurther trouble, as they were pettedly satisfied. and imme diately gave a verdi& for the Defendant.
