That gintrully admired comedy, The Itoad to Ruin, was rendered peculiarly attractive on Satur day evening by much fine sterling acting, and the additional chitin of one of the most succesiful firm appearances we ever witnessed. A Mrs. H. Hunan. from the Exeter Theatre, made her debut in the really difficult character of Sophia. Her figure is of the second size, well proportioned ; her countenance animated and agreeable; her voice sweet and natural; and her whole demeanour sim ple, yet graceful. She has the great recommenda tion of youthful sprightliness. and is evidently well versed in the business of the stage, and wise enough to have made nature her guide, and not to overact her part. She played delightfully, and was received throughout with such high and unmixed approbation, that the comedy was announced with exultation to be again represented to-morrow.— DOWTON, whose return to the London boards we hail as r certain accession of general pleasure, old Derision was uniformly eecelleut. ErAtirrort played Harry Doratoa with great care, and ,conse queut 'acct.*: we never saw finer acting than his scene in the lock-up house--wit was the maddening , gaiety of u thoughtless though not depraved mind, the spirit of high and gentlemanly feeling stru4- gtiog with vice and repentance. In characters of this class he is certainly without a rival, and they require great attainments. Mr. TERRY's Sulky was highly respectable, and had less of hi. general peculiarity. A Mr. Beaus/ (late of the Ha) minket Theatre) made his first appearance here in Silky, and altoge thee acquitted himself very respectably. In mealy parts there were touches, which, with attention, we think, may be brought to excellence. Of HARLEY'S Goldfinch we speak with respect, be cause he is generally • pleasing and useful actor, but this performance was an absolute failure. He looked, dressed, and acted, like the hero of a pony race—not the sparkling, rattling " deep one." To make use of cant terms (ethic!' we always do spar ingly, as we are not disciples of the Tone and Jerry school), 1, he wasn't up; he could not go it ; he was all wrong." Goldfinch is a jockey of the first order—HARLEY made him a mere post boy. We recommend him to take a trip to New market, mild three days training. The other cha racters were well supported. In the afterpiece of The Agreeable Surprise, we were again agreeably surprised by Mrs. H. HUGHES'S performance of Cowslip, it Abided ge neral delight. and was marked by all the artless, indescribable traits of nature and simplicity, which are the very essence of the part. Her acting was fall of excellence, and she looked and dressed the character admirably ; her singing was very pleating. HASLET, in Lingo, was truly comical; and Mule CUBIT? was deservedly encored in Laura ; she sung sweetly and correctly. The theatre was well attended ; the performance we, by the special desire of the Duchess of KENT, who honoured the theatre with her presence. COVIINT-GARDEN. The Beggar's Opera was performed at this theatre on Saturday night, in which Miss PATON, from the Haymarket Theatre, made her first al,. pearance is Polly. She was received in that dia. tinguished manner which her previous performances at the other house rendered so justly her due. Though she displayed a little of that timidity so natural to a new and difficult situation, yet her powers were not at all clouded, and her very first vocal exertion convinced every one present that the operatic strength of the theatre had received a most enviable addition. She was loudly sod deservedly encored in " Ah ! he so pleased me," and " Cease yoarlatitaing," amid repeated theft beautiful sire with increased effect. The Lacy of Miss HALLANDR, .amid the stiashealh of Mr. PRA am AN, were very well received ; the rest of the characters of the piece were unstained respectably, Mill the opera was given out for to-night amidst general testimonies of •pprobatiou.— A new serious inelo-drama, called Ali P•cAa, succeeded the opera. The following is a brief audio, of the plot : Ali Paella, after throwing off hie allegiance to the Otto man Porte, and committing the most atrocious cruelties as the inhabitants of Tanis'', retreat■ to his fortress on the lake upon the approach of the Turkish force ender Ismail, whose saw, Ibrahim, Ali holds es a prisoner. Zenocks, a Satiate Chief, whose kindred hare byes all destroyed by Ali (except one sister, Ilebssa, who Js, unknown to him, loving under the protection of Ali. sad is beloved by &hos, the grandson of the tyrant), penetrates in the disguise of Ambassador from Ismail iglu the castle of Ali, where he rouses Telethon, au Albania• Chief, to join him in the attempt to avenge hire. self and his count ry ; hot their plot being overheard by Heim', she betrays it to Ali, who instantly pats Ibrahim to deat►, Yid . condemns both Zenocles and Telethon to the same fate. At the same time be discloses the relationship heliports Zesocies and Helena. Its the second act Ali receives the last account from his eldest sots, who has been recently exe. meted by order of the Porte, by which be is i•furmed that Stites is not his grandson, but the offspriag of a Macedo nian Chief who fell at the storming of Neves,. Os the re. eeipt of this intelligence, All, who is pressed by the troupe of Ismail, amid doubtful of the fidelity of his mows soldiers, directs Selim to repair to the arsenal, and shoed Ismail sneered, be has orders to set Are to the magazine, and blow up the citadel, burying both friends and foes to one undistin guished mum. S. lint, aid! believosighisiselflbegrandsoo of Alt, undertakes the task assigned him, but first restores Zesseles sad Helena to liberty. At the attack by the troops of Ismail, Alt's followers revolt, be amide the ted signal to who stands self devoted abuse to execute the Pacha'ss orders, when he is prevented by Hausa, to whom the secret of his birth has become known, and they escape together just as Ali, p dby his enemies, retreats to the &twos!, and with his own band fires the magant , ne. The Greeks then, ■mid the smoking Aain., continue time combat against the Turks, defeat them, and raise the standard of liberty en the shattered remains of the tortes, of Yawns. Such is the story, and from these materials the author has constructed • very interesting piece, which was received throughout with unqualified approbation. The dialogue is of • superior cast, ■nd the performance of Mr. %V. FAIIREN, in the character of A/i Paeha, did more than justice to the sketch of the Author. Mr. T. P. COWER, in &nodes; Mr. A BOOT?, as Se/im ; Mr. F•CLEY, as Hassup ; aud Miss Foote, as Helena, coo tribuied their powerful aid to the success of the piece, which, we understand, is ati alters. two trout the Freuch. Though we are not partial to lengthy pieces of this description, yet it appears to os that the interest of Ali Alan somewhat suffers from too much compression, by which the incidents are crowded, aud the distresses and difficulties of the personages with whom we sympathi►e have not time to operate ere they vanish. sod the attention is awakened to a fresh train of circuinstsocrs.

After the Treaty of Amiens , I would alto have made • good peace with England. Whatever your Ministers may say, I way always ready to conclude • peace equally advantageous to both. I proposed to form a Commercial Treaty, by which, for a million of manufacture or colonial produce taken by France,. England should take the value of • million of. French goods in retort,. This wn thought • hein- • ous crime by your Ministers, who reprobated in the most violent manner my presumption in havii.g made such a proposal. I would both have made and have kept • fair peace, but your Ministers always refused to make one on equal terms, and then wished to persuade the world that I _was the violator'of the Treaty of Aintemi." BONAPARTE hug since that period been accused of another heirs -0114 crime, and "reprobated in the most violent manner" for breaking the Treaty of Fontainebleau, by quitting Elba. But what were the facts, as stated.by the Emperor himself? " The little hope which -"ewe/tinned of the money to be allowed me annually, according to the agreement made by the Allied . Movers; this was one of the reasons which induced me to quit Elba; but there were many vio lations of the Treaty of Fontainebleau which audio. sized end obliged use to take the step I did. hide. pendent of what I have told you, it was stipulated and agreed to, that all the members of my family should be allowed to follow me to Elba, but in violation of that, my wire and child were seized, de tained, aid never permitted to join a husband and a father; they were alto to have the duchies of Perms, Placentta, and Guadiana, which they were deprived of. By the Treaty, Prince EIJOENE was to have had a principality in Italy, which was never given; my mother and brothers were to receive pension., which were refused to them ; my own private property, and the savings which I had made on the civil list, were to have been preserved for me. Instead of that, they were seized in the hands of Lattoutti.Ertie, the trecsurer, con teary to treaty, sod all claims made by an rejected. The private property of my family was to be heW sacred—it was confiscated. The dotations ast•igired to the army on the Mont Napoleon were to be pre served—they were supprened ; nor were the bun. dred thoutand francs, which were to be given as pensions to persons pointed out by me, ever paid. Moreover, assassins were sent to Elba to murdet use. Never have the terms of a treaty been more evidently violated, and, indeed, openly scoffed at, than those were by the Allies; and yet your Ministry had the impudence to tell the nation that I was the first violator of the Treaty of Fontantehleau! • With respect to ananins, I never feared them ; I had • soul of marble. Had I been actuated by this spirit of the BOURBONS, or even according to the laws of reciprosity, I should have caused the Duke d'ArecouLeme to be tried, in retaliation for the attempts he had made upon me. I could line bad him shot within twenty-four hours. Instead of doing so, I ordered that every respect should be paid to him, and care taken of Ins person, and that be should be conducted to Caste for embarkation." The Kingston (Jamaica) Chronicle of August 24, sap, 1 . We understand that his Honour the Let.- tensiit-Governor intend• calling the House of As srmbly to meet and proceed to business on the 1,1 of October next, for the purpose, we believe, of ena bling the Legislature to tquslise the American dit ties under the new Act, an official copy of which his Honour has received by the packet." A letter from Newcastle, of the 17th instant. says, " The keelmen below bridge are very gene rally returning to their labours this morning." In consequence of the very culpable practice of laying the rubbish (whet) pulling down old house., &c.) in the public street., the mail, on Monday evening last. was thrown over in Kirkgate, Wake field, when Mr. RODOIIIe, the clerk of indictments fur the West Riding of Yorkshire, who was pro ceeding to Knare.borough Sessions, was so severely hurt ulna he was obliged to remain in Wakefield. No other person, we understand, received any Ws term' hurt. The abet of horses and cattle at Thorne fair, on Tuesday last, was not so large as formerly, and the few disposed of were at extremely low prices. The decrease of tradesmen, usually attendant at this fair, evidently exhibited the poverty of the times. At the Reading Quarter Sessions, which closed on Wednesday last, the Magistrates, having taken into consideration the depressed state of the agri cultural interest, came 'to a resolution to lessen the county rate, by reducing as much at possible the amount of expenses urually allowed to prosecutors. frEsrmasrsß sEssuiNs, OCTOBER ig. AI'PEAL FROII A CONVICTION UNDER MR. TAYLOR'S, ACT. Mr. Atineenus addreried the Courts and ill be appeared for Mr. Phillips, the proprietor of the New Ft:Change Coffee-house, No. 13g in the Strand. who appealed against a conviction tinder Mr. Teyloi's Act, for having shoo-windows over. hanging the pavement. The short foci. of the close, he s.id, were these . ; Mr. Phillips hod ehanged the front of his house, sand ue doing we hr had with drew') it from a foot to nine beetles float the spire • it formerly occupied, giving up so much Of his ground it, the public; but this not satisfying the. surveyor under Mr. Taylor's Act, he lied eon- victed Mr. Phillip* of obstructieg the re:eaten' which he had actually enlarged: Mr. Atibiews, for the conviction, admitted the Mr. Phillips's house, since the ulteration, projects less over the pavement than it did before; but when he win making tile elirrstiete notice wan Riven him that the Commissioners under the Act hod determined on five niches as the Aimee which 'shop windows should be allowed to project over the • paveipent, and that no house, the front of which was rebuilt or altered, should be allowed to project beyond that mice. Mr. Phillips had withdrawn his window. something, but not enough, es they still projettid twenty inclier, suit were, in the Xiliition or the Surveyor sod Co nasissioners, an ote etrhetime, sad inconvenient to pa-sengerte And ribs AL% it would be seen, constituted the Surveyor •ew Coovidissioners competent judges in the cave ; .god the Magistrates bsYe hitherto said, that if the Surveyer or the Commissioners under the Act say the projection is a nuissuce, they are precluded by rthet decision. Mr. ANDREWS examined Me; Martin Stately. who stated that lie is a builder end surveyor of Sr. Martin's parish, under Mr. Taylor% Act. The Dew slum boot of Mr. Phillips's house, N 0.119, in the Strand, projects one foot right inches over the footway, and is, unquestionably, inconveitieuts Cross-examined by Mr. A DOLPHUS.—The old shop front came more forward olio the street thou the new. The adjoining houses may perhaps pro ject more than Mr. Phillips's ; one of them is oc cupied by Mr. Hutment, who is a Comtutssioner under Mr. Taylor's Act. The witness, on his re-examination, said he rave a verbal notice to a workman in Mr. Phillips's shop while the alteration was going on, that no greater ,projection than five inches would be allowed. 'Mr. Cadogan, surveyor of pavements of St. Clement awes, stated that Mr. Phillips's windows in his opinion, obstructed the highway, the boon dary of which, he thought, was the wull of the house. The next house to Mr. Phillips's on the west projects four or five inches more thou his. Mr. Story, surveyor of paverneuts for the parish of St. George, Hanover-square, gave similar evi dence of the projection of Mr. Phillips's windows, and his opinion of its being en obstruction. Mr. A DOLenus addressed the Magistrates in sup. port of the appeal. He commenced by observing that not a single person had been brought forward, either inhabitant or passenger, to complain of the obstruction, which was left solely to depend on the evidence of three surveyors, who were, no doubt, all equally willing to prove a case that was to bring grin to their own mill. The simple question as s , whether every shop 1110 projects at all beyond the wall of the house must not be removed, whenever one of those learned surveyors may think proper to order it to be done. Mr. Phillips's interest, though considerable to him. was but a feather in the scale, compered with the interest the public had in the decision of such a question, which, in his judgment, was-the most ipspostant that ever came before that Court. The house in question was an ,ancient building. The Exchinge Coffee-house, it - Mall well known, was a place of fashionable resort in the days of Charles the Second, long before the pavement existed. The front. by the late altera tion, had been withdrawn farther from the pave 4peot, and yet the conviction was for overhanging mod obstructing the pavement, although Mr. Phil. dips had sctuslly given a part of his freehold to the public. If the judgment of the Surveyors of Pave. meet was to decide the question, why did the Act give an appeal to that Court? Was it merely to record 'their opinion, as their agents or clerks?— Whether the'house obstructed the pavement, was a matter of law and fact, to be decided by the Court, and not by the vendee of surveyors. Mr. A DOI.PfIOr examined Mr. Richard Col thorpe, who sorted that he is a builder, and made the new Irmo of Mr. Phillipii% shop; the firmer front I was part of the to ieirial building, laud probably a century old. The front stands over the area of tne house, and not over the pavement. The-pavernent in front of the house is seven feet four inches wide. being considerably wide,' than any place from the commencement of theStreed at Northumbeilend House. If the windows were taken away, the area I would Ise open, end passengers might fall into*. The house next Mr. Phillips% on the stew,. pro: jecte revert iii tai' beyond his. If'Mr. P.'s area was covered over end paved, it would make an indention in the street that would be is auissece. Mr. A DOLMAN did not call any other'witoess. The Chateaux, after some nate spent in com solution on the Bench, read the 72t1 section of the Acm e which states that it shall he lawful for the trustees, commissioners, or surveyors under the Act, to regulate the distauce to which any sign, sign-post, bow window, &C. &c. may be allowed to project over the footway, IniVelnelif, Of bighting ; and that if they shall project in any manner which, in she judg merit of the trustees, commissioner*, or surveyors, shall obstruct the light or air, or be inconvr mein or incommodious to passengers or other persons, every such projection shall be deemed a utesance. On this section of the Act lie said the Court was bound to give the best opioion it could form e and although many cases of individual hardship might arise ender it, yet it did appear to the Court that the Act constituted the trustees, commissioners, or surveyors. judges of what was an obstruction, or iticoeveident or incommodious, and left it to their discretion to have every such ob 'trochee' removed. It was very true the nest house might - be worse than the house complained of ; bet the Commissioners say to that—" We will not pull down ; but if eny man pulls down himself, we will then prevent his milking au obstruction." On the , best opinion. therefore, that the Court could forte, I they were bound to confitm the conviction. POLICE. -..-.. :NI ..MANSION-tioUsE. EtYkRSIYE ROBBERY.

Mr. Young, a bookseller, arson after called us him, and Mewed him a set of hooks, value 71. which fir baid had bees offered to him for V. and which be suspected hail not been hquestly gut possession of, although the per son who wasted to make the sale was in the habit of log will, integrity. Mr. Young contrived to get Mr. Good. uses and that persou, whom name is Jambs, together; •nd Mr. Goodwin gave • written undretaitiog to Jacobs, prionl•- ing most solemnly wit to promerte him, if he disclosed the mune of the men from whom lie had received the Imokr. Alter some LeStlatiou. Jambs eoureseerl that lie had bum the Petroiser Walker, who bad, he aided, been in the habit of selling to him large quantities of books. Mr. 11. IL Young, of 157, Femburch-street, hooks, llor, stated, that Jacobs had sold him many books within the last three year., end was enabled to dispose of such property al a 'cheap rate r in consequence of having got them, as be had meettaturd, in exchange for quills. The books pro duced at the office were known to be Mr. Good•in's from the priced's/11y of the binding, and edam's look them to that Gentleman, and immediately the Weeniest time commenced. Jscubs acknowledged that Walker used to sell to hum 501. worth at a time. When Welker was applied to epee the subject, he did not deny the rub bery, but he at once uttered some threatening language seams, Jacobs, for baiting " peached." A very cliaat set of 0 Shakspeare," in red morocco, which was worth 81. was offered for less than halt the iancey by Jscubs; and other 'Amiable books, such as Dryden's works, Thomosia's " Seasons," Ste. Ste. boiled in the most splendid style, were its the enormous catalogue of the stolen property. The Lord Mayor staled, that the paper given by Mr. Goodwin to Jacobs, exonerating him fiom the charge, was not valid, and expressed his amusishment that such a docu ment should have bees given. Jacobs said that Mr. Goodwie had taken his oath not to prosecute him, upon his giving up the perma from whoa he had purchased the goods. Mr. Goodwin assured the Lord Mayor, that it was most eeseulial to him to know which of his men had been corn. milling the plunder, an he had a somber of streams, and did mot know upon whom in fix the imputation. In this slate of the charge a great difficulty presented it self, fur no witness appeared at the moment against Walker, except Jacobs, and he being the receiver, his eel deuce could ly be considered worth sending before a Jeri. A pawnbroker, however, with whom " TAe Life of Ike Doke is Gruesome' had been pawned, appeared just is the nick of lime, and he deposed that Walker bad pledged the volumes at his shop. The officers who searched the lodgiag of the Prisoner found the duplicate of • watch in his trunk. Mr. Young said, that there were amongst Walker's popery, when lie aas apprehended, as Old Ifailay Caleedar, and the Dying XpeecA of WI Old Friend A letter was produced, which was written by • friend of Walker's in Hertford prison, re questing that be would send a little mosey down, as the " Crib" was a bad place without money, and reminding him of the jolly nights they had spent at the fairs. The Lord Mayer observed, that the pawnbrokers would aot be quiet until some of them were sent to the her at tt.e Old Bailey as receivers of stolen goods. The encourez. - went they held out by the facilities of their trade was such as no thief could resist. His Lordship Mee, in order to sift the case thoroughly, ordered that Walker should be twirl brought before bin, previously Is emmaitment; sod that Jacobs should be produced as evidence against hien, if ee ry, upon the trial. BOW-STIMIT. I, 1 I GAMBLING-A TRIP TO THE TREAD MILL. On Saturday morning there was another exhiliitioa of an Noxious group, whose counien•nces betrayed all the horrors of am anticipated trip to the Tread Mill. Mr. Ntioskall's determination to treat all persons who may be convicted be fore him of unlawful gaming, as rogues ■nd vagabonds, under the provisions of the new Vagrant Act, baa been aut. ficientiv disseminated, and hence the apprehensions of the Primmer' on the present occasion were nut without founda tion. Hitherto the attempts which have bera made to sup, press the destructive system of gambling at the west end of town have bren without success ; but in the present iostauce the evidence was of so conclusive • nature that fuer of the offenders were actually sentenced to take Or and exercise fur one month in the House of Correction, wider the friendly auspices of the Governor of that prison, and perhaps this example may be attended with more advantageous resells.
