THB BING H. HENRY 11100114., This was a charge of assaulting and obstructing an Excise officer in the discharge of his duty. Judgment having gone by default— Mr. WILLIAMS, on the part of the Defendant, urged that the assault co.nmitted by him ■rose from • mistaken notion of duty to his employers, whose property he thought it incumbent on him to guard from leisure. The COURT, in passing sentence, pronounced an opinion that the master of the Defendant was much more to blame than he was. The judgment of the Court was, that Defendant do pay • fine of 401., and be imprisoned till such fine be paid. Tilt RING O. GEORGE LEE. The Defendant was convicted at the last Shrews bury Assizes of assaulting ■nd obstructing an Exci.e officer in the execution of his duty. 'Mr. PULLER was heard in mitigation of punish ment. The principal point he urged was the omission on the part of the ►evenue officer in not declaring who he was when he first attempted to stop the Defendant. on a suspicion that he was en gaged in a smuggling transaction. The Sofctroß-GENEIAL was heard in reply. The sentence of the Court was, that the De fendant be fined 201. and imprisoned till the fine be paid.—He immediately paid the fine and was dis charged. THE KING N. DRAPER AND FRANKLIN. TheLieleaid ant, Draper, was collector of the pier and harbour duties at Margate; Franklin was • constable at the same place. They were charged with conspiring to oppose and obstruct, in the ear. cation of their duty, two men belonging to his Ma jrsty's .liip Sevens, employed in assisting the rewe. nue Akerson that station. There were other counts in the declaration for assaulting and obstructing. The Defendants had suffered judgment to go by default on the first count. It appeared by the Lflilawits produced that Priogle had, on the gth of July last, at nine at night, been stationed on the Pier at M.t.gitie to watch for smugglers, the night being dark he overheard • conversation of some persons, whom he could not Dee, but which he conceived alluded to himself. and immediately after he was addressed by the Defendant Draper, who asked him if he was the Captain of the Dover vessel then lying in the Roads. Pringle's answer not being very civil, high words muse, which being heard by another of the Severn's crew (Collins) who was posted et a short distance from the Pier ; he came up, and on his informing Draper that Pringle was there on his duty, he went away, but shortly after wards returned with Franklin, the other De fendant, to whom he gave in custody both Pringle and Collins, who were detained in the cage all night, sod only discharged the next morning on going before a Magistrate. Mr. ADOLPHUS was heard for the Defendant Draper (Franklin not having been brought up fur judgment, on account of the dangerous state of his health). Several affidavits were put in and read ; one of them was signed by a great number of the respectable inhabitants of Marg.-de, hearing testi mony to the good character of the Defendant, and the others testifying to the inebriety of both Prin gle and Collins when they were taken into custody. The Learned Gentleman urged this circumstance with considerable force end address. _ . The SOLICITOR-GIMSAL Was beard in reply, ... _ . .. and referred to the affidavit of the Officer of the Severn, who had posted the men, and had seen them several bona afterwards, so late as ten o'clock, at which time they did sot appear to him to be ID.. toxicated. The Defendant was sentenced to pay a fine of -took ■nd be insprilioned till such fine be paid. THE RING R. ROBERT GARDNER. This Defendant was tried at the last Assizes at •Mridstone before the Lord Chief Baron end found of obstructing the of f icers of his Majesty's :hip Severn iu the execution of their duty of assist tug the officers of the revenue in the prevention of smuggling. Defendant's offence had proceeded no farther than a threat of violence during the time when the officers were ensiled in searching his yodel. The, Court sentenced him to pay a fine of 20!. and to be committed to custody till such tine be THE KING sr. PETIft ATKINS. This Defendant bad been indicted, and suffered Indictees% by default, for en assault on Wm. Ha milton, Mc of the crew or his Maieaty's ship Scorns, employed iu the prevention of smuggling. The Souctvoa-GENitasi., in praying the judg ment of the Court. observed. that although these offences against individuals might appear trifling, yet their Lordships would be pleased to remember, that this was an assault on au individual belonging to a vessel, rendered obnoxious to certain persons from the nature of the duty on which it was em trio) ed ; and that a seaman belonging to that ship had been shot in the orris day on the beach at Deal, si.il no discovery Lad ever been made of the perpe trator of that offence. The Defendant was sentenced to be imprisoned three months, and afterwards enter into recogni sance*, himself in 501. and two sureties in YU. each. TUS KIND V. JOISPU AND MINIM CLARKS. OWENS PUBLICATIONS. This was a presecntion instituted by the Society for the Suppression et Vice. The Defendants were father sad ma • the furuser was indicted for selling on &wens ba sk, and the latter for disposing of a prima of the same mature. They Lad both pleaded guilty to the Mimosas preferred against them. Mr. Guassir. in preying the judgment of the Court so the two Defesdmits on the floor, said, be lead mach rather, with the pesiaission of their Lordships, that the indictment should not be reed, tree is hailed number of persons then present; far the subject was of so very gross and indecent a nature. that it could not be seen oithost some dr. sere of contamination. He hardly tired address the Court on the iticalcalsble mischiefs likely to ensue from persons not keeping a regular shop or place of trade ; going hawking about publications of the nature of these under prosecution. As the miscliiefs were very great. so also was the d►fculty of detection considerably increased by this itinerant dealing in moral poison. 'Fbe profitson this ne. furious traffic were certainly considerable. and it appeared the elder Defendant had bees, carrying it on for a very long space of time, and had also ini tiated his son into the business, who was not so young but he must he thought fully responsible for his own acts. It added to the guilt of the De fendants, that, together with their •hominoble reti cles, they had intermixed certain bo►ks of • laud able nature, such as religious tracts. under cover of which they were the better enabled to make their way into seminaries for the education of youths. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICII intimated. that the communication which had been made to Mr. Jus tice Best, by letter from the Defesulants. had better be made to the Solicitor fur the prosecution. This communication was shewn to Mr. Gurney, and was an offer to give up the printers of the works which were now under prosecution; but Mr. Gur ney declined having any thing to do with it, and ' pressed for the judgment of the Court ou the two Defendants. The elder Prisoner. on being asked if he had any thing to soy in mitigation of punishment, confessed his guilt, but said, that so far from it having been a gainful trade to him, he had not been long out of a workhouse. He had always endeavoured to ■void letting his son know where the works were to be procured, but he had watched him. and found out the place. He did not say this as wishing to implicate his son deeper than he was at p►esent, nor to shelter himself; he acknowledged himself by far the most guilty, and if there was any difference in the punishment, be begged the Court to award the greater to him. Henry Clarke said. that he had served his Ma jesty, and been wounded on board a man of war ; on being discharged. in the year 1115, he had • great difficulty in procuring employment; but at last he got on board • ship going to America. and on his return nearly lost the use of his limbs; and being unable to do any bard labour, it was under the presiore of extreme distress that he had resorted to tint mode of getting his living. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—" We see sorry for your distress. but people must be ',revealed from getting a livelihood by debauching the morals of the younger blanches of the community." The Defendant resumed. and concluded by say. ing, that be had not twenty shillings or • friend in the world ; if he had he need not hare lain two months in prison for a bailable offence. He threw himself on the mercy of the Court. Jr veph Clarke—" I know that the Society for the Suppression of Vice have been at • great ex pense in prosecuting for thine offence', and as I am acquainted with all the printers of such things, 1 should—" The LORD CHIEF JUSTICR--" That is a matter for the consideration of the Prosecutors." Mr. Justice BATLEY. in palming the sentence of the Court on the Defendants, expatiated on the destructive consequences arising to youth in parti cular, from the spreading of such publications. and the utter loos of character to the miserable vender. of them. The sentence of the Court was that Joseph Clarke should be imprisoned in the House of Correction in ColdbothArlds, for 18 mouths, and at the end of that time enter into recognizance* for his good behaviour fur five years ; and that Henry Clarke should be imprisoned in the same place for nine months, and afterwards enter into the same recogoisauces.

(Frost the " PAtiothapkia Gs:WU," of April 3.] NEW THEATRE DESTROYED. This splendid and costly edifice is now nothing but a large pile of smoking ruins. Between seven and eight o'clock yesterday evening, it was disco vered to be on fire, in the northeast angle of the stage. and such was the rapid progress of the flames, that all efforts to save the building were ineffectual. The range of brick buildings west of the Theatre, on Chesnut-street, were almost entirely destroyed. Chief Justice Tilghm•n's house was several times on fire, but was not materially injured. The Shalt. speare buildings were fortunately protected from the flames by a high brick parapet wall, and cape• rienced very little injury. The interior of the Theatre being of very light fusible matter, the conflagration was awfully mind; and presented a scene truly tuljestic. The horizon was sn powerfully illuminated, that at a distance of four miles from the city the smallest print could easily be read. Our readers at a distance may therefore judge of the intensity and violence of the flames. We have not ascertained how much has been in• sored on the Theatre—one of the Baltimore offices has 25.000 dollars. The two brick houses adjoin. ing (the property of the Proprietors of the Theatre) are insured by an office iu this city, at 600 dol. Tars. There cannot be the least doubt of this scene of destruction being the work of vile incendiaries. The theatre was closed for the season on Monday last, since when, we understood, there has been little or no fire or lights used in it. Notwithstanding the spectacle was calculated to inspire the stoutest heart with dismay, there were found wretches base enough to endeavour to give a wider sweep to the devouring element, by attempt. ing to cut the hose of the Fire Companies. We understand a man was taken up, and is now before the Mayor, who had a knife or other sharp instru ment attuched to his shoe to effect this diabolical purpose. Providentially the roofs of the houses were com pletely covered with a coat of snow, which had fallen doriug the whole of the day, or we might have had to accord one of the greatest visitations this city ever experienced. We have not learnt whether the Managers (Messrs. Warren and Wood) are insured. Their loss in scenery, machinery. chandeliers, and deco rations, must be serious indeed. Their valuable wardrobe, we understand, was removed a few days since, previous to the compaoy going to Baltimore. This building. which hos been the resort of taste. fashion and beauty. was erected in the year 1792. and covered an area of 150 by 90 feet. It consist ed of stock divided into 98 shares. at present held by about forty individuals, who are of course, prin cipal sufferers. To these we have to add Mr. John Stoddard, Mrs. Neale, John Molten. James Bork, John Sommer. Thomas Maiming, pricier, and the other occupants of the Shakepeare Buildings. Mrs, Nesles' loss is peculiarly distressing. This morning. about ten o'clock, as a Gentlemen was viewing the ruins of the Theatre, his pocket was picked in a most adroit twanuer. Fortunately it contained soothing of much value. The establishment costlniginally 135,000 dollars; and has in each succeseiee year experienced consi derable expensive improvements. se We, the Subscribers, at the regent of the Resolution Hass Company, stair, that we gest *petted their Rese-biteee deers last night. sad that the in did set originate in their house, hot was breaking throogh the door froa the cellar.— An axe being procured, the seCtioor of the theatre in Car prater's•dreet, was brukes epee, whew the Ire appeared in fell blase anises the scales, before it cematuoicated to the Hoeishonse.

Wednesday, pursuant Is Aet of Parham/at, lie August Assembly Of the Proprietors of Drury•iase Thestre, for IM purpose of electing ea Auditor, took place in the aloes of the Thestre. Mr. CA I.CRAFT is the Chsir. The INECIIIATART lben read the official notice of the wit ing, sod stated the demise of Jobs Hosier, E. die late Auditor. Mr. Gooses Rosin thee rose to propose Mr. Albers's* Wood, as a gentleman every way qualified to slimed IM late Mr. Hosier is the office of Auditor. The sonineatios of the worthy Alderman was tires put, and carried without • dissentient voice. _ The account% as audited, were Men laid upon the table for the inspection of the assembly ; but, as they militia only he mask up to the present period, the eicunituitios was de ferred to the close of the season. According to the practice of former assesahlies, the CllBllll - thought it right to state, that every ghillie that has beds held not to the Proprietors sod Subscribers was realising ; That the rent was most punctually paid by Mr. Ellistos, sod his management was in every respect highly satisfactory; That the balance of rent due to the trust of the alteration creditors world be discharged in the course of a few days; Aud that the ground-rent and all outgoings were regula rly paid by the Consosittie. The rent due at Lady-day last was paid is ten days after it became due. The amasser embraced the opportunity of abserviug upon the extraordinary surveys of Mr. Kean In Kim per, which was now amply rewarding the management for the taste displayed in bringing it forward, and that the general representation was highly flatteriag to the %sleets of the Company. Mr. Rosins could not allow the meeting to sepsratie with out congratulating them ow the happy distinction that might sow be drawn, as compared with the meetings of the last four years. Instead of attending to condole, se heretofore, the Chairman had 110 i Nog but cheering istelligesee to COIS• musicale. In lieu of excuses, before indispensable, the ere ditues of the Theatre were now absolutely required to apply for permed of their claims. Aster as Mr. Knishes was coo mewed, he could add his tediums, to that of the Chains... He had witnessed his indefatigable exerticiess; he had men the correctness with which he met all his engagemeuts; sod hr was therefore most happy to say, the prospect a riltiasate and complete success was likely to crown his herculean ef forts. Before he sat down be should take the liberty to pro pose the sincere thanks of the Assembly to Mr. Caleraft, wham seal sad attention to their interests eminently entitled him to this mark of reaped. This was carried itaaaimoosly, and the meeting separated. MANCHESTER. MAY 4. NEW BAILEY COURT.HOUSF, SALFORD.
