Tire THRATRE.-Ve observed in our account cif Mr..YouNQ'S rkbut on the Haymarket stage, in the arduous charaaer of Hanziet,, that we had no doubt his next pertorMance would be •less embarrassed, and shew his powers to Ttiore advantage. • He ap , peared,again on NiVednesdity night in the same cha racter, and fully justified our opinion. He confirm- • ed the favourable sentiments we • before expressed i and. maintained his pretensions to a settled station on the London boards. Good sense, reflection,. and, feeling, constitute tha.essential features of his naing i and he will rise in credit in proportion as he pro . - ceeds.—The audience "was. much more numerous last night than on the former , occasion, and the ap plause was abundant. • „ . CASINEWBACKER, the musical Phenomenon, who Ins excited so much wonder anct astonishment hi Paris by his performance on the harp, came to this country under the. , care• and prote6lion. of Colonel MAOLton, of Colbecks: An extraordinaiy 'accident happened on Wednes day rrforning in.Deanstreet, Soho maid servant of Mr. Oldtield, looking out of the garret window., leaned over too farto teach some articles that had fallen into the gutter, when she fell . over the parapet, but was most wonderfully preserved from destruc tiOn- by her clothes catching hold of some spikes on the coping. of the adjacent house. She kept sus- . pended in her perilous situation until her cries brOught some persons to her relief; but more than twenty' Minutes elapsed ere they could etTed her complete safety. ' ASTL'E ANNUAL 11/71ERRY. Triclovers of aquatic amusements were yesterday .highly gratified with diie of the hint contestedßow lug Matches we ever witnessed on the RiverThameS. The concourse of, speelators , assembled on the oc casion, exceeded in number any' thing of the kind ,hitherto given: : The Whole'face of the River, from Westminster Bridge to Vauxhall Gardens, was 'finely dechrated with pleasure-boatS of every de scription, each . filloct with parties of pleasure, and Bands of Music. The banks of The River were lined . several deep, for a mile on 'each side, with gazing spe&ators; while the fineness - of the dayrendet e d it, k' on the whole, a most . pleasing speancie. This 'was the 18th Prize Wherry given . by. Mr. ASTLEY, in .lA . onour of His Majesty's Birth-day. It .was rowed Tor by the six folloWing Watermen,-each with a pair of oars, and distinguished.by a small flag. orcolour : Thomas Duffin, Lambeth, Bine. 2 John Evans, . _ .7 ,rower, 3 Edward Cross, --:-- - Bartle-bridge, - Yellow. 4 John Didfield Hungerford, •- .Pufpfe. 5 Daniel Shaw :Horsley-Down Green. 6 Abraham Lock - Stansate : . - Pink. .Three of the. six were above, and the other three below Bridge. A little befere six 'o'clock,. the six 'boats started, with the, tide, Tr . em VestminSter Bridge, rowed round a boat moored off - Vanxhall, returned on the Surrey side, rowed round the ilea con facing Hungerford, and returned through the centre arch 9f Westminster Bridge, !. _ Dual and Cross were completely distanced, and gave in. The contest afforded much gratificati on . —The boat's. came in according to the folloWing order :--, Leek, Ist Evans, 3d • • • Ohltield, ad . • . Shaw, last. • • •The three first were only entitled to start for the Wherry, on' the second heat. . At seven, the three . first boats therefore started.again. , Bets were en tirely in favour of Lock, who prOved hiMself worthy of the encomiums bestOWed on him.. He won the second race by about six boats length. Oldfield was 'second, and Evans last. The :wiener was brought 'into the Amphitheatre, and, on the Stage4resented with the Wherry, in the presence of a very crowded' and very fashionable audi , ence. The second - than received five guineas, and the third man two gut peas. Another Rowing Match took, place at Greenwich ; sit boats started, and. one. Freer, of Deptford, was declared vi&or. ABOLITION OF LOTTERIES. Such a measure as .the abolition of Lotteries will not, it is to be premmed, be adopted without the most serious consid(!ration': the revenue is consider ably benefited in various ways by this voluntary tax, and it will be difficult, if not impossible, to find any mode •of raising the sum it supplies an- nually, so pleasant to the people. At all events, if the , present Lottery is.to be the last, the Public should Certainly have been made acqUainted with the fa a long agog in order that every indivtuital • might have had a fair chance of buyhtg tickets ; now these Gentlemen who were in the secret will Fro bably Make fortunes by their, purchases, as tickets . of course, rise .very considerably in price. All this accounts for the pawity of ativertisements ; and the compar22):::;ly quiet mode of condut9ing this Liit - fery.r:l - foweVer, though Lotteries .array be su.; speLdeci for a time, we c.nifess we shall. not he very sorry when they are.::evived i .as, in a - political point of vicw, we are mire they are of service to the State'; :and in' a 4.aoral point of view, no. serious evil is to beapprehended.from them. • The lenity which was shewn Mr. Ambrose. Charles try . the,4:I7RaNEy.,GENERAL, was in consequence of the following affidavit that was read in Court by the . the Defendant, and. which we have au . thorlty from the Earl of Moira to insert. Nothing. less than.a 'public acknowledgment would, indeed, have satisfied the wounded feelings of that respe6table and unimpeached Nobleman. . THE RUNG. V. AMT ROSE CHARLES. , . .

During her residence in England, she was largely indebted to the bounty of the late Lord Cameltord, t. 11,0 had before Met with het at Bruisels and Duisel!cri— As she was ebtering an etigraver'S shop in this city, he noticed 'het, recognised her, and accosted her. She was then in indigent circumstances; -Lord Ca-, melford was a mate of warm attachments, and of extraordinary munificence: With this Lady he re new'ed ‘' his acquaintance, 'and in the exercise 'of his natural genetosity, made large presents to her, tp the amount of six or seven thousand pounds. 'Thus : enriched, in 1802 she returned to Paris; and.while • 'she .was thete, the Defendant was recommended to her by Mr: Morris, a surgeon, a Gentleman of respeClability,. whose • introduction she received With the respect. and. attention it- deserved. Dur ing -his intercourse- with the Lady, at Paris, Mr. phillipS(`as We Stated - in taufpreceding report) made her acqhainted 'With hia.:pecuniary embarrassments; and, to relieve his necessities, she, , tadually advanced to him the sum of 40061: At the time he received,. the last ignol.-to complete this amount, he brought a bend with filth, executed and 'attested in the ere sOce of his, own servant, for the whole debt. The?' were at this time both of them in England ; and the Defendant being a Man of gallantry, it was not an improbable thing, that he would otTer the lady marriage, as a return for the confidence she had, reposed in.htm. He did sso, and was favourably re ceived." The mother acrd sister of the Defendant were en this occasion introduced to the Plaintiff, and the Defendants own daughter was 'placed under het protection. :• With these expedations before her, the • Lady fitted up a house in Cumberland Place, where Shedevoted a room exclusively to the accommoda tion of the Defendant. • In the sequel, marriage was suspended, bat the Plaintiff remained oil the best; terms 'with the family of the Defendant: Souse time afterwards, the Lady began to be dissatisfied N'vith the security of- the Defendant, and on cation obtained his Warrant of Attorii , - She „.,„e' • abroad returned, and on herre again ; soon t tirh,a demandedi n_lent or.still further security; on this,' made his . Will, appointed her his executrix, ' and deposited 'Chia , iztrument in her hands : B As time passed' on, and the first ebullition of - feeling subsided; certein scruples arose in the mind 'of the Lady; and the prospect of marriage seemed now to have vati‘tshed; becanse the Defendant was in the hutnble, • but lucrative occupation of a 'fishrnonger. Stich connubial alliance would disgrace her son by a for:het husband, :and Allis degradation was ncit to be Sub-, mitred to, unless some remedy were discovered: - Lid cure was at hand ;eit'; was propOSed that'the daughter of the defendant should idterniattywilh the infant son : of the Plaintiff, .and, 'by s ome sor t of . a logic, such double connexion in the families was to remove the diffieulty: Notwithstanding this Inge... , amity, new obstruCtions arose; and, at last, the parties came to open War,•non prcelia amoris, and the Lady entered up judgment upon the warrant' of attorney, and was entitled to take out execution upon it. The defence which the Gentleman set up .was, that no 'money liaci.been advanced by her, that he kept up ad i]licit intercourse with her, and - that this bond was given-withbet•consideration, as a contrivance to de feat the ,claims of his QWII creditors. If these fail could be supported,' the Defendant had a plain course to take ; lie had only to make affidavit of tliern, and to apply to the Court on such grounds to set 'aside the judgment. But this was not the course he thought -fit to pursue. He filed a bill in 'a Court of 'Equity to which no oath was required; and by which the 'heavy penalties of perjury could not be incurred. To that bill -the Plaintiff gave a full' and` complete an swer. The question the Jury had _to try wts, if the Plaintiff were or were not a creditor' at the time the bond .Was - executed ? The ATTORNEY-GE NERAL,understood that it was to be ohjeeted, that the Warrant of Attorney, dated in 'lBO3, was writ ten upon paper with the water-mark of 1804. If it were so, it was probable That it was executed in 1804. This was, the general statement'of the fats: The LORD CHANCELLOR had direoled that both the patties should be examined, and they would Of c.ourSe.be , called. Madame De Luneville said; that she was in this . country prior to 1802. She acquired here consider - able.property. On the 7th August; of that year, she returned to Paris, and took lodgings, in the Rue du Bas du Pont. In OEtober following the Deteridant was recommended to her by her friend Mrl Morrth, a surgeon in Marlborough-street. One morning the Defendant, when he called upon her, appeared me lancholy, and or. her enquiring the cause, he said he had letters to Thos. Paine and Dr: Priestley, from Mr. Bosville, and be was disappointed at not meeting-- With them in Paris. The witness was riot satisfied With this reply, and in answer to some. additional questiOns, he told her that he had a bond for 80001. and other debts, which he could not realize, and that he: was in consequence embarrassed iii his affairs. The witness, on receiving'tbis explanation, assisted him first with 5001. then 'with 1(3001. and at last,: Wen they were both in England, to the extent of 40001. ter which he gave his bond: The witness here confirmed by her evidence the princi pal particulars in' the Learned Counsel's OpeninF, and speakipa of the Mean She errirAciyed to pia:in bur sensibility, she said, that he had always pistols with. him, and that he used to fright her constantly, lest he should kill him Self if she Should'not consent to marry him. On het first return to France, at Graves end he,took up a pistol, and said to a young Lady in company, that she Should not wonder h e was'in despair at the absence of Madame De Luneville, as' had it not been‘for her, hee - shoUld have been rotting . in a gaol. j The Witness cross-examined Cy - Mr. GARIZOW.
