Drury-Lane._ MR. Fool' appeared again last night at this Theatre, in the arduous charaEler of Hamlet. He seems to have attended with laudable modesty to . the suggestions of public criticism, and was much, improved in his performance, He was by no. means so violent in his expression . of particular parts, but,. had evidently acquired " a temperance that'gave smoothness'.' to the whole. In several passages. he. was very, successful, and excited much applause throughout. It was very obvious that he had some enemies in the Theatre, who, at times, attempted to disturb his ading. The general sentiment, however,. was in his favour, and effeefually overcame this pitiful hostility. He played with judgment and feeling, but per. haps his pauses were somewhat too long ; for though they mark characteristic refleCtion, yet, if too much protracted, they are apt to raise ideas of elaborate study, rather than of intense meditation. So able a representation of so difficult a character, by so young and unpractised a performer, demands, however, the fostering protedion of liberal criticism ' , rather than discouraging objections to errors, which vanish into nothing id a general estimate of his merit. PACKER - is such a respectable veteran in his pro. vince, that' we feel a reluctance in saying any thing adverse to him ; hut he is certainly declined too much in the vale of years for . the part of the Kill:g and the objection is stronger when we see so film a woman as Mrs. PowELL perform the Queen, as it is difficult to suppose that he should be the object of her affedion. Mrs. PowELL played ,the Queen, with dignity, and a strong expression of the conscious disgrace, and self-reproach, which become her sirum ion. Mrs. JORDAN improves in Ophdia,' She gives the airs with an affecling wildness. UOWTON gave a Cambrian colouring to the part of rolonius, and seemed to have brought Sir Hugh E v ans to the Court of Denmark.

SE RI EAN TS' INN HALL; Nov. 33. THE KIWG 41. EA.TERIrt* AND,/vi:rA.LEANE. The Tw.ehie judges of England met; and, about seven o'clock, proceeded to hear the l'orther Argu ment of Counsel, in this Case. Mr. MARRYAT proceeded tlporl . his Argument for the CroWn, and in answer to those which had been already urged for the Defendants,. before their Lord. ships in the Exchequer . Chamber. He first rook up the ground-of the Juriscliftion of the Court of Ad_ miralty, train the Statute of .henry Vhf. whicti created it, dowin to—the .last Stature which was enaded upon the subjea, and contended that the Jurisdiaion of the Court did extend, as well to the cases of the two Defendants, as it was acknowleged to be to that of the Captain, who, was executed.— fie maintained, that the two Defendants, Easterby and Macfarlane, were to be considered in law'as Principals in the aft of destroying the ship Adven ture ; and, if so, there could be no doubt the jorisdidionof the Court . extended to them as well as to the. Captain. Or supposing they were to he considered, (what he denied they could be consi dered in point of Law,) as Accessaries, yet still they were Accessaries before the fat}, and as such liable to the same tittles of trial as the Principal.— He contended they were, in this case, as much Principals as if they had construaed a Machine, and put it in motion, ond by which afterwards ship was destroyed.—He illustrated this doarine uy a variety of observations and application to Afts, and then went over all the cases, which he said appeared to have a bearing on this question, both as to the jurisdiaion of the Court in which. the 'Defendants were tried, and that of Principal and Aectssary, and contended that the Crown was entitled to the judgment of their Lordships. Mr. ERSKINE, after prefacing the abhorrence he felt at the offence, of which no doubt the Defendants Were in fact guilty, anabhorrence which was inferior only to that of extending the Law in order to reach their guilt, and 'which he knew the Court would never do, but would decide,this case, notwithstanding its enormity, like every other case, precisely upon the.grounds ofLaw,.and upon no other ; proceeded to argue ;he case in behalf of the Defendant Easter s by. He began with an objection which he submit 'ted to_ be conclusive in favour of Easterby, namely, that he waS:; indicted as the Owner of the ship Ad venture, Whereas, in point of fact, he was not the Owner of that ship at the time, of committing the offence ; that as the Law now stands, he cannot be said to be such Owner ; 'that a Bill of Sale is the foundation of Ownership in a ship ; that there was no Bill of Sale to Easterby, subsequent to a Bill of Sale which,had been duly registered to M'Farimc. So that subsequent ..to that sale, so duly registered, ho property in that ship past ,to the Defendant Easterby.! He then took up the question of Jurisdiction .of the Court of ACAniralty, and traced its history from its origin downwards, and contended that no Enad ment in. any Statute reached the.case of these two persons, so as to render them amenable to the juris diction of the Court of Admiralty. He went also over the cases whicli had been decided in ancient ti ales and maintained they bore cat liia assumption, that the Admiralty, Court had no jurisdidion in the case of these two persons upon the fads, as they ap peared in evidence, &c. He concluded by observ ing, it was the glory of this Country to be govern ed by known Laws, which would turn neither to the right nor to the left to answer th purposes. of any particular case, but were • always uniform .in their Rules, by which we had, in our Jurisprudence, a Certainty togovern us,whichwas unknown to any other-State. Every Man in England was to be tried by a known Law, and according to the known Rules of such Law, or he could not be tried at all. This was the principle which guides us in this Coun try, anti it was- i principle which had elevated this Country higher than any other. on the face of civil existence in this world, ancient or modern.. Mr. Serjeant B r S.T then addressed the Judges, on the part of the Defendant, M.'Farlane, and contend ed also, much at large; that frdin the language of the A& of Parliainent, tvhich immediately governs this Case, the Party , must either be Owner, or Muster, or Commander of the Ship,. before he can come under the Provisions of the AA for sinking, burning, or destroying such Ship ; and he must do one of these ads himself, that is to say, sink, burn, or destroy the. Ship, before he is subjea to the pro visions .of this .Stature; for he contended that the Ad of Parliament, which completely governed the Case, does not extend to those who may procure the Ship to be sunk, burnt, or destroyed; and this was the Case of these Defendants. He contended also that all the Cases agree that the Accessary is to be tried where he is accessary, and the Felon to be tried where .he iy Ali - don. That therefore the Captain, who was tried before the Court .of Admiralty, was tried where 'alone he could by Law, be tried, but that the other two, Easterby and M'Farlane, ought to be tried where they were Accessaries, and that was within the jurisdktion. of a Court of Law, by a Jury of the County, and not by the Court of Admiralty,. which had. no jurisdiction over any thing that was done within the County. _ _ We do not state this as a report.of the able argu_ ments of these Learned Gentlemen, for that would exceed both our time and space; but merely as an impel-left sketch 'of the heads of the btisiness, of which we understand.. there now remains nothing but the. decision of the judges, which will be -com municated at some. &Inn ralry Session.

The Plaintiff is a linen-draper, and the Defendant had served. him in the charaEter of shopman, but was now g(?pi to ,serve Plaintiff's brother, in the .same, line alion was brought :for what remained due to the Plaintiff upon a ba.. lance of accounts between Km 4n3 - rjefenciani including certain stuns ofmoney. which the Defend ant had trusted-some of his master's customers for what they bought : he had received his master's po_ sitive orders to give no credit to any body but in the presence of his master. In one case the Defendant had sold goods to a perfect stranger, .who c , rne to the shop; - and whose bill , came - to about 51. he said he never gave a check upon his Banker for lesS thati rol. ; sat down and .drew one on Messrs. Bolderri. Bankets,in Cornhill, and signed it . ..1.H. johnson f and .then desired he might have the difference, and the goodS carried to a public-house, near Storey's= gate. There happened only robe about one pound, or some such sum in the shop, and the. .stranmi said it did not signify, he would take it, and call for the remainder. The goods were accordingly delivered,. and the change given. .When the check was taken to the Banker, it appeared no such man kept cash_ there, so that this was a - perk& Swindler. This case .being proved, and the accountsibeing looked ipto, and, an allowance:made to the Defeo_ dant for One year and three pi:at:ter:4, at the rate of 251. a year, for his services as the, Plaintiff's Shop_ .man, the jury gave the Plaintiff a verdict for the balance pn the Accounts, which was 231.

Plaintiff.—Datnages, 201. • COURT OF COM:NION PLEAS, Nov. 29 TOtJTENG V. HUBBARD. The Court gave judgment in the above case, the circumstances of which are as follow . : the Plaintiff, owner of a Swedish vessel, had . agreed to , fetch ..a cargo of fruit ..,front St. Michael's,. and palled •from the Thamei far that purpose; but being driven back - by stress of weather, put into Ramsgate, and was prevented sailing till an embargo on foreign vessels took place, in consequence of which sheTwa; detained a considerable time, and the opportunity for making the voyage was.lost. Fresh letters of advice were applied 'for ; in reply to which 'the Defendant observed, that in censer quence of the Embargo, the voyage was frustrated, and the charter-party was cancelled: a verdi6l, how ever, had been fou:A for the sum of 74.81, to be re_ duce. to a 'smaller sum, at the discretion of. the Court. • • Lord ALVANLEY--" The Swede engages to go to St. Michael's with all speed, and the merchant engages to employ him. An embargo does not put an end to an agreement between parties, but is only to be considered as a temporary suspension; its ob: jet was to make reprisals against the' enemy, and was an att justified on the part of our Government by the eonJutt of tire Svvedi . sh Government. ship had stipulated to perform the voyage, the re_ straint of Princes - only excluded—if, therefore, an embargo is laid on foreign vessels, on whom should theconsequences fall? If the Court of Sweden corn. mits an ati Of 'aggression, shouidnot the subjeds of Sweden participate in the effet% of it ? The deter'. Lion of. this vessel was occasioned by•the default• of the party himself; the embargo was the consequence of miscondutt on the part of Sweden; and therefore an action cannot be, maintained against a British merchant for not completing hiscontraa, when the Swede has not fulfilled his own.". • FURTHER PARTICULARS OF JOHNSTON'S ESCAPE. There is a watchman on the inside of the wall, whose duty it is to patrole the ground all night s and who is never supposed to belong absent trom any part of so narrow and 'circumscribed an in closure. This watchman is imprisoned on suspicion ; and it is thouglit that Johnston must have had some friends within the prison", as he undolibtedly had without the wall. ' To cut out the pannel ,from over the door of the strong room must have been a work of time and labour, and even the. escape through the aperture was not a very easy - matter; all this, however, was adcompiished withotit the smallest alarm being given. - ' - Johnston is a genteel looking athletic Man, -un.:, der forty years of age; and possesses uncorr mon degree :the art of disguising his face• manner, as Well as.his person ; to arat,.considering• his knowledge of the Coast, and the nuMber of Confederates that he naturally must have, there is no probability of •his being caught before he ge:3. out of the kingdom. Johnston has a wife at Flushing, where he was established before' this last affair; He is considered as having considerable property; and within. a very short time :made great offers to the Bail that ren dered him, to obtain his liberty: . The pannel over the door of the 'strong room, in the F leer,_ was cut out with a Centre hit, a - mode praetised by, thieves with shop:.windows, shutter: , , and doors.
