MxlllllV4.lltX. Some weeks hive elapsed vie** the AM an. nouncement from this house of a new Historical Tragedy. to be culled Virginias. or Me 1.0 V Me Oft-twirl—a subject which bed frequently bro. fore employed the pets of the dramatist. Repeated postponements of its exhibition took place. and Covent-garden, in the mean time, got the start, by producing Mr. Kwowuts's new ;4'y. founded on the same story. The curiosity Naturally intention( on these circumstances was at length gratified by the production of the promised Tragedy last night. The principal characters of it were thus represented Virginias Mr. Rem. Applies Clef:diem Mr. Rae. • - Mingling . Mr. Pope. , • /Alias Mr. Polley. • Iforathu Clasidiate Mr. Hamblin. Nainiforisti - Pl"titia Mrs. Glover. Eirybsia Mrs. W. West. The plot compriees most of the well-known cir coassignees which led to the destruction of the Deeemviral power. The catastrophe varies from historical truth, in exhibiting the tyrant falling be heath the dagger of Virginns immediately after the death of Virginia. Similar changes are m■de in file progress of she piece. These it would be diffi cult to make the classical reader look upon as ab solute beauties; but. on the other howl, if they are blentishr►, they are such as could very easily he redeemed by other excellencies; for, in fact, it would not be easy by any thing short of a total transformation of the facts to divest the story of a great deal to awake interest, sympathy, and cons passion, Rut a far more unfavourable feature in the composition of the play is the character of the language, The sentiments attributed to the ddr,rent persons are usually just and natural, but in the expression of them there is apparent a con tinual effort to strike and dazzle, • constant search after the grand and elevated, and strength is commonly sacrificed to grandiloquence. A spec tator must he peculiarly interested by the pass-. log events to listen with pleasure through live acts to characters constantly, and through all changes of fortune, dealing in this lofty phraseelogy. Accordingly, though the repre►entation occupied a coinpa.atively very short space of time, bring finished at about half-past nine o'clock. and Waugh some mem excited sad deserved a large measti.e of applause. yet symptoms of disappmba. tomb manifested thettiselves very intelligibly long before the conclusion. We bad anticipated a warm contest on the expected giving out of the tragedy for repetition after the fall of the curtain. That, how ever. was avoided by It novel mode of announce ment, tacking the notification of future !perform ance to the end of the epilogue. which could boast of some humour. iud was exceedingly wall de liver-d by OXIERIY and KNIUNT.

The opposite effects of thin strengtl► and this weakness were alternate ly represented with great beauty in the scene wherein the rejects /cifies's proposal to fly with him from Rome.

THU ICING N. HANNAH waiTtacitta. This was ■n indictment charging the Defendsot with having been guilty of wilful and corrupt per jury. the offence was alleged to have been committed at a trial which took place at the Old Briley h,-fore Mr. Baron Graham iii September last, on which OCCI , IOII the Defendant appeared as a witness against her late master, Captain Mills, wh ►he charged with having assaulted and violated her per son in the month of July preceding. The trial had proceeded some time, when the Learned Judge who sat at the Old Bailey stopped it, and the Jury acquitted Captain Mills. There were three points on which it was now endeavoured to be *hewn that the Defendant had perjured herself. The assault having been com mitted, as she stated, on the 15th July, she not withstanding stayed in the house of Capt. Mills at Chelsea till the 12th August, without eomplam ing to any one of the treatment she had received ; and at the trial she was asked the reason the had not mentioned it before, and her reply was she had no epportunity before, and she could not leave the house. To prove the falsehood of this testimony, the following evidence was produced. The record .f Captain Mills's acquittal at the Old,Bailey having been produced and read, Was. Oliver, the short-hand writer who attended the trial, read his notes of Hannah Whitehorn's evi detice on that occasion. In answer to a question from Mr. he sail she was not a full grown girl. Captain Mills perfectly will remembered Hannah Whitehorn coming to his service. She win recom mended by a Mr. Price; she came on the 28th Jolly, and quitted on 13th August. He never made ilia most distant attempt to take an indecent liberty with her. She was extremely offensive and di/y se her person, dirty to so extreme. He went from home and dined out almost every day while she was with him, end she bad constant opportu nities of leaving the hone. He had sent her out several times. His house is in Smith-street, Chelsea. He came home generally late in the evening. Cross-examined by Mr. DINMAW—He was for• surly of his Majesty's 49th regiment, hat had re tired from the service. There was another servant when the Defendant came, but she left his service the day after. Neither of the servants sat in the parlour with bins, nor did he have them in to read to him. There had been a complaint made by two of his female servants before Mr. Fielding. the Magistrate at Queen-square, but it was amicably settled ; he gave them 11. a piece. He had had eight servants between July and December. Ile never gave her a drop of norm or wine. In answer to a question from M►. SCAIILITT. with reference to the charge which had been made against him before Mr. Fielding, he mid he had newer been charged before with any attempt to commit a tape. • Catherine Vigors lives in the King's-rood. near Capt.

Hannah Whitehall left on the Friday, but during the preceding three days she had been out four times. Mr. Brodie, a surgeon, examined Hannah Whitehorn. in August last; witness described the state in which he found her; observed ismhilig which indicated that she had sustainedany recent violence. Mr. Dellmaat made a powerful !appeal to the Jury on behalf of the Defendant. and called four witnesses who had known tier far a considerable time, and gave her a goad character for veracity.
