TPE VHEATR.E.—The Comedy of The Way to bKeep Him again attraaed a numerous Audience, to rury-lane Theatre, last night. Previous to the bPening of the Play, WATHEN came forward and apologized for the unavoidable absence of Mr. C. KENIBLE, on account of a domestic misfortune, and begged the indulgence of the Audience towards lcussEtn, who, at a short notice, had undertaken the part of Sir Brilliant Fashion.

A i'BW days since Mr. BOND received a letter from Mons.WissAEG, Prefed of Police at Boulogne, stating, that in the prison of that place there was a young Englishman, who, in passing through Calais, had formed an acquaintance with a Mr. Sandwell, a traveller for a mercantile house at Bristol, and agreed to proceed in his company during their jour ney. This young man sometimes assumed the rank of an Officer in the Life Guards, and at other times called himself a Captain in the Light Dragoons nay, once he stiled himself a Lord ! He introduced himself to Mr. Sandwell under the name of George Wilbraham, acquainting him that he was a Captain in the 3d, or King's own Regiment of Dragoons,' -commanded by Colonel Lord C. Grey ; that his brother (Henry Wilbraham) was Lieutenant-Colonel in the First Regiment of Foot Guards, commanded by his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester ; and that his father, George Godfrey Wilbraham, resided, when in London, in Somerset place (there is no such place), near Harley-street, Cavendish-square ; and when in the country, at Ashley Hall, near Hastings, in the County of Sussex.. Mr. Sandwell having ad vanced him a sum of Money, received from him in return several bills on different houses in London, which were all protested ; one of " George Godfrey Wilbraham, Captain K. O. D." or, " King's own Dragoon 4." He was therefore apprehended as a Publisher of counterfeit Bills of Exchange ; and in his examination before Mons. WISSAEG, Prefed of Police at Boulogne, declared that he was an Ensign in the soth Regiment of Foot. The Prefect, io consequence, wrote to Mr. BOND, requesting he would cause the necessary inquiry to be made, and inform him of the result. Mr. BOND immediately applied to the War-Office, and to Messrs. Cox and Greenwood, Agents to the Regiment, and under_ stood from the latter, that they had received advice from the real Captain Wilbraham at Paris, warning them to be cautious in their acceptances, as there was an adventurer in France who had assumed his name and person. This intelligence has been trans_ mitted by Mr. BOND, through the medium of Ge neral ANDREOSSI, to the Prete& at Boulogne, and will no doubt prove a satisfadory detection of the gross imposture. Hatfield, the Keswick Impostor, was examined yesterday at the Public-office, Bow-street, and spin T mined to Tothill.fields Bridewell, for furtbex exk amination on Monday next. 01 7,5 i• He concluded himself with the greatest propriety duriog his journey to Town, and on his examina tion,; but said nothing more than answering a few questions put to him by Sir RICHARD FORD and the Solicitors. He was dressed in a black C6at and waistcoat, fustain breeches and boots, and wore his hair tied behind, without powder his appearance was respenable, though quite in disha bille. His Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND, Earl of AYLE3BURY, Sir CHARLES BUNBURY, Sir EDWARD PELLEW, Hon. Mr. AsHLEI", Mt. AN DRF.W•:;, M. P. Hon. Mr. MACDONALD, Colonel FULLER, Colonel M'IVIAHoN, Colonel STEVENS, and a number of n! - ler Gentlemen, were hre , enr at the examination. His Royal Highness remained a consider - 61e time afterwards, to near several other cases that were brought forward. Sunday morning a man was brought in custody from Liverpool, by Anthony, Lne of the Bow-street Officers, on Suspicion of having been guilty of the wilful murder of Mr. STEEL ; and after undergoing a private examination before Sir R. FORD, was com mitted for further investigation. SINGULAR ROBBERY.—The following may be relied on as a faft : On Saturday evening last, as a poor labouring man was passing through the Rope_ walk, near Traitors-bridge, in Bristol, on his way home, he was stopped by two footpads, who robbed • him of 9s. being the whole of his hard-earned week's wages ; the man expostulated with them on their in humanity-, alledging, that himself and family would inevitably he starved, in consequence of his loss,, -Wh.en one of the fellows proposed returning ; him a :shilling, to save them from starvation tlfht night to which the other objeaed inimediatelf Jftier;the first who made the proposition, presented him with (as he supposed) a shilling; but how great was the poor man's surprize, on his arrival home, after dis closing the unfortunate and melancholy circumstance to his wife, to find that, instead of being in pos... _session of a shilling, the robber, by mistake, had made him possessor of a guinea. Preservation of Plants from Frost.—The fol lowing method has been recommended to preserve plants from dying after having been touched by the frost. It is particularly useful for exotics which are in flower-pots, because the experiment can .be more easily effeeted . on them. Before the plant has been exposed to the sun, or thawed after a night's frost, it should be well sprinkled .with spring -water, in which sal-ammo niac or common salt has been infused ; this must be continued some time ; but we would rather re commend, where it can be effeeted, to immerse the whole plant in the above infusion.—lt is parti. cularly requisite that the root should be immersed, because that part being harder, withstands the frost much longer, and will not so soon thaw, owing to its being covered with earth. The philosophical reason will be easily perceived. Indeed we are in clined to believe, if plants were to be watered every morning in the spring, after the cold nights, with some such solution, it would preserve them greatly from the blight. For if the blight is a species of gangrene or mortification, as Dr. GAR. NETT asserted, brought on by the anion of the rays of the sun in the spring, on the morbidly ac. cumulated irritability which had been produced by a considerable subtraetion of heat during thy pi " especially if," as the Dotior ob,erves, i night s ucceeded by a cloudy or misty • nforni,n, is never attended with these effe&s, whic a ? .: almost Cer • tainly follow, if, when the spring is considerably advanced, a frost should be succeeded by a fine I warm morning ;"—if blight is a species of the'dis order above-nrentioned, why should not this me thod be as effectual in its cure of plants aS'snow is when used to prevent a mortification in any of the human members I4AMBURCH MAIL VIENNA, Nov. PRINCE NiCtiOLAS STEItt-IAZY, Lieutenant_ captain of the Hungarian Guard, is going to Poi-it. He took leave of His Imperial Majesty the day before yesterday.

CONSTANTINOP LE, OcT. 26. • A GREAT irritation still prevails between the Turkish' nd English Troops in Egypt. There have been several bloody affrays between them; and the English General has thought it proper to re quire the Turks to restore the Forts of Alexandria whiCh have been already ceded to them, as neces sary for his` security, - till the final evacuation of the City ;. but with thiS' request they have 'refused to comply. 'The English, however, still remain in possession of the City of Alexandria. The Courts of Madrid and Naples, and the Ba tavian Government, having obtained the consent of the Russian. Court that their ships should trade to the Russian Ports on the Black Sea, the Russian Ambassador here, General TAMARA, has presented a Memoit to the 'PoRTE, requesting the grant of a free navigation of the Black Sea for those Govern_ ments, to which the PORTE does not appear dis inclined, providedlit- receives some advantages in „return. • , The Spanish Arnbassathir here, the Chevalier DE .CORRAL, has - applied to the PORTE to acknowledge the King of Etßuttr A, to which the REIS EF FE N vi has answered, that the PORTE is ready so to do, provided the established ordinance be not, de parted from, which requires that this acknowledge ment shall be made by means of a Treaty of Peace. A Commercial Treaty has been concluded with Spain, : relative to the free navigation of the Black Sea. RATISBON, Nov. z.z.

This Ni , as an Issue directed out of the Cotirt of Chanceiy, for the purpose of ascertaining the fad, whether a wall belonging to the Plaintiff, or a house belonging to the Defendant, was to be considered as an encroachment upon the limits of the two Parishes, St. Mary-le:.l3onne and Pancras, by which the botindaries of the titles of the Parties were limited ; when, after a trial of six hours, the Jury declared themselves to be satisfied, and found t Verdict for the Plaintiff„ adding, that they never saw so foolish a Case as that which the Defendant had laid before them: His Lordship said, he had been satisfied himself five hours ago in this Case„ and nothing that had occurred in the course of it, had tended in the least degree to shake that opinion.--Verdid for thc Plaintifr. The day being thus wasted, his Lordship pro: ceedeel to the trial of Common Jury Causes. The Gentlemen of the Bar submitted most humbly, the hardships to which this course put them. It was now three o'clock. They had many Briefs to read; and Consultations to hold from five until ten at least. They said they had not physical strength to proceed in this Way. They were indeed in.. treating to be excused, in some respeets, from the performance of impossibilities. They urged als6 that this must be very inconvenient to his Lordship himself, for that he had other things to attend to. Lord ELLENBUROUGH said he certainly had many things to attend to, but none that were not subordinate to the performance of his duty in the administration of Justice in that Court, —The buSiness-had, by the manner in which some causes.had consumed time, become greatly in arrear, and he was very desirous of clearing the Paper of the Common jury Causes here, before he went into the City, for he could not return agai,i into Westminster ; he was restrained by. Law trout doing so. He should be sorry to press the Gentle men of the Bar too severely, but really every in. dividual concerned in causes moat Submit to a cer. rain portion of inconvenience for the administration of Justice, for that was a matter very interesting to the Public at large. His Lordship, therefore, said, he was ready . to sit until six o'clock, if the Parties and their Coun sel would attend ; and did sit until past four, and four Causes were tried, when it appeared there era: not one person ready to go further. COURT OF COMMON PLEASi DEC. 6. BROMLEY 'l,l WALLIS. This was an aCtion for crim, con: the damages were laid at soool. Mr. Serjeant Sit EPHERD opened the case for the Plaintiff ; he stated that both the Plaintiff and De_ fendant were Surgeons in the Navy ; that Plaintiff was married in 1797, and lived in a state of con nubial felicity with his Wife until she eloped with the Defendant in July r Mot. ,When he had made out this case; he considered himself as entitled to the verdict of the Jury ; but he understOod the defence intended to be set up, was that sort of con duEt on the part of the husband, which in some degree, he understood it would be contended, went to justify the conduct of the offending female, and consequently of cue Defendant. He admitted that if such a defence was substantiated, if it was proved that the Plaintiff had been guilty of the negligence which was laid to his charge, his claims to damages would be comparatively. small, if it should be con sidered as existing at all. He proceeded then to call his Witnesses. - John Page . proved the marriage, in the Church of St. - Nicolas, Harwich, in 1797 ; but a difficulty arising as to the proof of this marriage, the Learn ed Judge reserved the point for discussion at a future day. Several Witnesses proved that the Plaintiff and his Wife, up to the period of the death of his child, lived in a state of considerable happiness. Joanna Radford proved that the Defendant and Mrs: Bromley came to the house .of her Mistress, who let lodgings in Plymouth, and there cohabited as man and wife for 13 days. This was the whole of -the Plaintiff's case. Mr. Serjeant LENS, in a very able Speech, on behalf of the - Defendant, contended that the Plain. tiff had, in a variety of instances, slimed a culpa ble degree of negligence, with respea to his wife— NOr had he only been guilty of crimes of omission, but had in - sulted her, by an attack upon her female • Servaot, in his own. house ; and had been in such a state of health; as implied a very great degree of infidelity on his part. •' I n lupport of this defence, he ca ll e d M r . W. Taylor, .a — Sur"g&in in Yarmouth, who spoke to the Plaintiff 's having, subsequent to his marriage, ap. Plied :tci . him for certain remedies, which argued a want of constancy on his part. His evidence also went to prove that the Plaintiff's wife considered herself as negle6ed - by him, on some occasions, parrieu/ar ly during the indisposition of their only child. Maria —, a servant of Mr. Bromley's, spoke to the same ads of negligence of which the pc cedirik Witness had accused the Plaintiff.' She like wise stated;.that subsequent to the same period, the death of the child, the Plaintiff came home to his hook in the evening, and took several indecent liberties with her, of which she told her mistress. On her cross-examination, she admitted, that the Plaintiff was in liquor at the time of this at tack upon her, and she admitted, that she remained three months more in the family afterwards. Mr. Serjeant Si P ER D replied ; and after the summing up 'of the Learned Judge, the Jury re turned a verditl for the Plaintiff---Damages 2001.
