On Thursday night about half past eleven o'clock as Miss De Camp was returning from DruryLtane Theatre, to her house in Tottenham-conrr-road, accompanied by her sister, they were surrounded in Great Russel-stteet, Bloomsbury, by four fel lows, but some persons passing on the other side of the way, they made off' without saying any thing ; when the Ladies got into Tottenham-court-road, however, the same fellows came up to them again and surrounded them, and with horrid imprecations and threats, demanded their money. They endea_ voured to take from Miss De Camp's Sister, a bun. die containing a great coat, and Miss De Camp's dress, in which she had been aeting, but making some resistance, in the struggle she was dragged into the middle of the street : still refusing to give it up, one of the villains gave her a violent blow, which obliged her to let go her hold. During this Miss De Camp, by her screams, alarmed the neigh bours, and the robbers did not get any thing from her, but they struck her several times. Some time ago, an advertisement appeared in the Papers, of a Gentleman being robbed of his pocket book, containing upwards of 7001. in Bank-notes ; but no discovery could be made till three days ago. A Gentleman, with a servant, came to Town, and took lodgings at an Hotel, at the West End of the Town. After a short time he applied to the mas ter of the house, observing he was on .the point of marriage, and wished to purchase some plate, &c. and, as he meant to par ready money, he would be glad to be recommended to some reputable trades man--He was so, and the supposed Gentleman pur chased a diamond necklace and plate to the amount of 4901. which he paid for by a Bank-note of gaol. He carried the goods with him to his Hotel, and while the seller was gone to the Bank to exchange the Notes Le decamped. The Note was .ode of those stolen, and advertised. • ACCIDENT.--A .buy who had been suffered to play with a loaded gun, last night discharged kr, contents upon a poor woman who was passing through Charles -street, Hatton garden. It severely ‘vound-- ed one of her legs, which bled profusely for some time, and she was taken in a miserable state to a neighbouring Hospital. Scarce a day passes with out some such untoward accident ; yet such is the folly gnd brutality of mankind, that the melancholy events which so Requently occur, do TM aCtlll tO produce any increase. of caution, THE . . : .! - `i-)L ';ITR'E.,7)*. • the Fair Penittht, can or (int - Old popular Trage dies, was represented at this Theatre last 'night.— The Calista of Mrs. St IIDnNS, if n'Ot to be ranked with her best efforts, is only inferior in not afford ing equal scope to her talents. Her chief excel lence last night was in the scene with Horatio, when he taxes her with dishonour. The emotions of sentment, alarm, indignation, **agony, were all given with admirable force; sensibility and ex pression. We notice th;.s scene a§ , 'expressive of peculiar merit, but the whole of the charaaer was supported in a manner worthy of this great At - tress. One passage, however, we must particularize, because, though we have attended numberless Ca lista's, we river heard. it given before with such emphatic expression of indignant agony : " Scorn'd by the women—piried by the. men— " Oh insupportable 1" It is impossible to describe the keen sense of bitter self-reproach, and tortured pride, with which Mrs. SIDDONS delivered these words. KEMBLE, though oppressed with a very severe cold, rendered Horatio conspicuous and impressive. His remonstrances with Lothario were conveyed with a moral energy, that produced a strong effea upon the audience. He was also very successful in the scene with Ca/ifta, and sustained the part throughout with,marly dignity and feeling. The person of CHARLES KEMBLE very well cor responds with the charaeter of Lothario, and he ex hibited its proud levity and impetuous insolence with tolerable success. 'WROUGHTON was highly respeetable in Scidto, though his aspen`} was rather too jovial for the so lemnities of the weeping Muse. Lavinia is seldom allotted to so good an aEress as Mrs. POWELL, and she ought to be commended for taking a part so much below her rank in the Theatre. There was a numerous, but by no means, a crowded auditory. L. mew... Garden. Lave in a Village, with the powerful support of Mrs. BILLINGION'S great. voca-Ltalents, drew a very numerous audience to this Theatre. H er health an , d spirits seemed b'e'p - erfealy recovered, and she sung in her best stile. We have before had 'occasion to notice the improved manner in which shee - giVes the Dialogue, and she was last night so happy in her exclamation to the audience, " Oh ! Men, men —you are all alike," after Hedge's bruta. lity to Afadge, that she raised almost as much ap, plause as by her musical excellence.. Mrs. Powers. left one of her Iho.:is last night on the stage while performing .Lavinia at Drury-Line Theatre, but the loss did not occasion any false step., Several theatrical repreSentations in Paris are, it seems, exhibited in caves, or cellars. Considering the high pretensions of the boasted Republic, it could har4ty. be thouBlic 41aat its public amusements would be so low. We present the Public with the following passage from a French Paper, as a proof of the corrcaneLs of the Gallic Press in British Literature. It is said to be taken from an English Poet, but we can not recognize the simple original in the French ha prcvetneat. Whett you came into this world All acound you smild whilst you wept. Now so aet, that when you depart You may whiht all acound yon weep. It is stated in a Paper of yesterday, that " Operas are vehicles for Music—by this rule a Solo is a Sulk } •, a Duet is a itis-a-1 7 ;s, a Ouartetto' a Coach' that holds four, and a Chorus a Lang Coach."--The Writer might have added, that a:Giee is a Gig, a Long Song is a Tandem,. attd a DriWing Song a Whiskey.

THE ATTORNZY GENERAL reminded the Court, of this Co,. standing for its determination; Mr. Justice Gkosc said, the Court had consider; cd of this case, and were of opinion, that the Man:. damns should not go. It was a Motion for a Man;- damus to be diretted to the Justices, at the Session for the County of Middlesex, commanding them to. proceed to inquire into the value ofcertain Lands, &c; at Bell Dock, to he purchased by the Corporation, der the ACI of Parliament, for making the London Docks, &c. This Motion was made on the sup; posed Provision of the 96th Se&ion of the AEI; which was for the purpose of enlarging the Dock; Basin, or Entrance ; but that the limits of this Dock were ascertained by the 25th Seetion of the Aft, and by that SeCtion, Bell Dock, the place in question here, was excluded by name out of..t he mits prescribed by the .A(a, and, therefore, the Court was of opinion, that this Mandamus ought not to go: In a Case wherein an Attorney had been sued for a debt, to execution, and taken under it, he sent for the Plaintiff, who came to him in prison, stated to him the misery of his wife and children from his confinement, and he entreated that he might be en- larged, upon an undertaking to pay the whole debt and costs in three months. He was enlarged ac cordingly, but paid not a shilling to the and at the distance of three years he was taken in execution —upon which he moved to be discharged ; on .the ground that it was contrary to Law to•take a person in execution ttvice for the same debt: This was resisted under the special circumstances - of the Case, of the Defendant being an Attorney; and therefore to be supposed to know perfealy well what he was about, and that of his being let.out for his own accommodation, and that of the'case being • extremely hard upon the Plaintiff; for that if the Defendant was not set at large, the Plaintiff would • be without a remedy. He had consented, not only that his goods might be taken in execution, but his person also. Mr. Justice GrtosE said, that the condo of '- Defendant, considering that he was an • Attorney nd considering the great kindness which had beeii!';',.. shewn to him, and under - all the circumstances .of the Case, his condul was absolutely shameful and abominable, and might have a severe effeft on Defendants confined for debt, by hardening their creditors against them ; but still, the rule of law was inflexible in this case. That rule was, that no man could be taken tWice in execution for the - same debt. Rules must not be overturned for the purpose of accommodating the circumstances of a' particular case, and therefore this rule for the De- . tendant's discharge must be made absolute, but without' costs, because the question of costs was within the discretion of the Court. Rule absolute, without Costs. Upon a Case being called on, which was said to involve a question of L3w, . Mr. Just - ice LAWRENCE, observed, that on • the • . last day of Term, there was no Law, as had lr.en. said by my Lord HOLT, by which was meant, that s . no question involving a point of Law, was to be discussed on the Last day of Term. LIABILITY OF BAIL. A Case was discussed in which it appeared from 7. the Affidavit, that the Piaintiff in the Anion, .after he had obtained Judgment .against the Defendant,- • left a C 111 a S ad Satisfaciendun? with the Sheriff, with direction to have it returned non est inventps, for the purpose of afterwards fixing the Bail ; and this was contended lobe according to the common prac tire, and therefore regular -; but Mr. justice GRosE said, this may be a common, but I am sure it is an abominable pradiee ; , it has often been reprobated by my Lord KENrox, for by these means, the Plaintiff, when he obtains his judgment, and finds that the Defendant is insolvent, has nothing to do but to take his Ca. Sc. to the Sheriff, • with direction, as here stated, to have it returned non est inventns, and then he has recourse to the Bail, who are entitled to render the Defend_ ant, which is all the Plaintiff can demand. This mode of fixing the Bail is most scandalous, and should not he endured. The Ca. Sa. when taken out, ought to be executed; at, least, the Sheriff ought to he instruned. to take the Defendant, if he can be found, and not instruded to return the Writ, Non est investus, for the purpose of fixing Bail. 'Mr. justice LAwREL:CE— " A Ca. Set. left • with the Sheriff, with diredion to the Sheriff to return it, Non est invenias ! It is not to be en dured. The Bail is thus most unfairly treated._ This Court has, on several occasions, been led to lament the hardship of the situation of Bail. • An Attorney to take a Writ of Ca. Sr/_ to tho Shor;11; with diredion to return it'Noi est inventui, when he knows where the Defendant. may be found, is , uilty of a scandalous trick, when it is thus intend -6 ed. to fix the Bail with the Debt. The Sheriff is answerable for the consequences if he follows such direnions. It is a dishonest artifice to make the Bail pay, when it is known the Defendant could not ; and that if the Ca.• Sa. was exe cuted, he woiild only have the body of the De.. fendant, and he is entitled to no more ; if the Bail were to render him, he could have no more.—This must not be tniff..red ; the Court will know how to deal with an Attorney when a complaint of this sort is exhibited against him." Mr. Justice GROSE said, he had no doubt in this case the Attorney knew where to find the Defend- . ant, and this was a trick upon the Bail. Mr. Justice LAW RE N C E—" It is very well for the Attorney that the Motion was not made against him-4n any other case like the present, an Attor ney should be ordered to answer the matters of the Affidavit.—The Court will take care of the rules of Justice when such a case shall come before it in proper form."
