I THEATRP. corertor-et Lanes. The Comedy of The Tessesett was last night brought fire ard, tinder the auspices of Mr. Kass. ace, and with his alterati ons, or rather innova tiom. It is, Sre believe, the same as performed st Drury-lane Theatie. some years since, when mu. 011 DAN and M'SS FA RR!!! played the parts of ()whiff,. and Mirand.: ; art d Mrs. Goon- ALL, the lady then so moth admire.' in rn tie attire, was the youthful Hosalaa, who htd been r eared on a rock, and, so far from tbinii4 of a female, had never dreamed of one. Wacher the pub lic are become flutee fastidious, their taste arm refined, or that the fascination ci tdese Ladies could reconcile an audience to any otece, however warred and defeetive, we cannot sty ; but whatever ro sy have been the cause of its former succes, the fire of this revived loupes/ was indeed the re verse. The interpolated charaßers of nori , rdn and ty,olita never appeared last night but to create murmurs, which only rt•speCl for their tepresenta , t rey Mrs. C. KIM SL e and Miss Liao An. restrained ' !,in hounds, until the end of the i.'nurtit Aa, W:cn the blues became general. This masked dis ty ! Probation prolduced a cry of "Turn time ant, tarn 1 -01 r out," among the friends of the piece, and a y ung Gentleman in the Pi•t, wh;ch was loud in Its expressi• ns of disccntenr, was selected for that punishment 'rho Const ,blrs were introduced for e purpose of infliati.g ; the Gentleman appealed to the house against this summary proceeding ; but..frorn vi• nose and confusion, it was impossible to hear what he said I iis adchows.--leiewever, had the sie , itrd effeft. The :ludernee supported lion, and " Keep INAIP place! stay ;la ! etve in . 1 " w••• e iociferated tram all quarters The officers did not persevere, and welii away without their p. tomer. In the midst' of this disitirsoince, Mr. KLMIILS, as PreetrrO, and Sliss B. unties, as Miranda, had come on the stage, but were soon obliged to retire. Order and tranquillity, however, were soon re stored, and the Comedy concluded with eon-ider able applause. Mr Ker e's Prospers was a very t a fie performance. In the three firs , *as, the dig nity of the Prince was lost in the Necromancer ; but he rallied in the filth aR, and displayed all his usual esedlesue. A young Lady, apparently nt about seventeen, made her debit in the part of Ariel. Her kitten is tight, airy, and graceful; her aftion easy and appr tpriate; and she appeared in full posses-anti of her powers both of voice and aat••1). Her fist song was:even with great taste and • x •eniicin, and 'was sa ; autously entered. Also .n !Mese the Bee was. t.tm ens k I, site was extremt ly ha py, and sang it with:such vivacity and sweetness. a c ,Iled forth a e a+-nal encore. Her drets was beatniftil, and dispia yt: t ',TEA taste ; indeed. we have seldom seen am re successful debit.

In the last scene. Aro/and her airy ttib • descend in Mr • K sec's new-invented cloud., which have bee foe so jCI of so mach speculation. Part of the linteb...l in was stiff, and did not ae until the magic touch of Prospei es wand put it in motion, and des played it, fair inUabilants. These cloud• were cartai. designed on a dul foggy morning, and ex'rnted an one of t'..e vet y gloomy days of Novemher. On t.r. Kers( a's a:.nonncing a second representation, acme disapp.ebation was Nhewn by t: - .e audience ; bet, if the Mk objectionable characters ate with drawn, 7he Teeniest will, no doubt, prove favour. a'sle to the Treasury of Covent Gardn.

'Hit Lordship, in going to cover, had sees a fox crossing the plantations towards the gardens ; the bounds were very soon afterward, laid on. and, 'after a little siOld hunting, wont off at sense. F or 'One hour sad thirty.five minutes,, they had a con tinued butst, but unfortunately ran to groilad at Watiass-Whin, an unstopped cover. The distance they went, from point to point, eas nearly twelve miles ; and the whole run may be moderately com• piste.' at nut less than seventeen miles. From Langton he made for Yalfortn ; turned to the rift ter Tbrintoft ; back again towitds Langton ; classed the Swale River (bank-full) to Sctuton ; through Mr. Jackson's Nurseries to Blow-houses; pascal Leasnwes, over Askew new-inclosed carn ation, down to Askew Village ; over the brnck to Uzciiie to the right tow:stills Crake-Hall ; over Mr. Pierses Part, and through his Plantations to Ask- Mink ; passed Thorp and Witless, and rau to ground at WAtlass-Whin. From a very numerals* field of sportsmen, the. only Gentlemen in at the end were the following. Lord Darlington upon .Killer;Lod Mr Shelton upon Regiiiin ; Mr. R. Laseelti-s upon titer-7'44( ; Mr. C. Parker upon Pot; and Mr. Strickland upon ; James Gray and William Richardson, two of the whippers-in, upon %looks and Rinse.. For straighr tot ward.rsinniog. - and hard pressing, this chase was certainly never surpassed, and hot seldom equalled : a Walter. or a more Swat Fox was tever s and a stead:er pack of hounds never poured their speed into the rapid game."

This was a Criminal laforrnetion, filet by leave of the Court, against the Defendant. late a Captain in the Navy, for sending a later to Sir Charles Ha milton, Bart. with intent to provoke hint to tight a duel.--The offence was charged dffierently in the three coins of the Information. First, for sending a challenge; secondly, for sending a letter, in order to induce him to send a challenge ; and thirdly, for sending a challenge, in order to break the peace. Mr. GAR sow, for the prosecution, commented, with his usual ability, upon the nature of the offence with which the Defendant stood charged, and the serious effeds of mica conduit upon society, &c. This case, he stated, arose oat of a ship captured by Sir C. Hamilton ; in consequence of which a suit was instituted in Dodars' Commons, and the deptn of water, upon a p articular sand bank, off the English coast, became a question in the cause ; in order to decide which, the Defendant, with some other nautical gentlemen, were to be el:Amin:A as witnesses. Sir Charles Hamilton had instruct ed his Proctors or Agents, or rhey had advised the Baronet, to hay- , some qtie,:rions put to Captain Brisac, that affedet his compete• cy as a witreu, in it.y cause whatever. These questions related to a former prosecnrion against Captain Brisac, upon which he bad been convicted, and sentenced to the pillory. The Agents ht - Proctors of Sir C. Hamil ton, therefore urged, that under such circumstances, be was not a competent witness. In consequence of this transaction, t letter, upon which the intorma . Lion was grounded, was sent by the Defendant to Sir Charles Himilton. This letter was written in terms nearly as follows : " SIR—I am Aware of the advantage you will have over me, fr -in an untoitunate motence in the Court of King's Bench; but I cans a hop out- iig t .e unmanly use you make of it, though a result obtaind on.. by perjury nap inue•trement le is a cone in smirk morn time torso thirds of His Maieoy'.

Sir Charles Hamilton, the Prosecutor, was exa mined with reaped to the receipt of the letter. He said. that it was inclosed in an envelope, direded the Witness at Harwich, and forwarded by his ser vant, to his honse, No. Si Devonshiresplace, Lon. don, where lie received it The letter itself was not diroded. Sir Vic ART Glass, for the Defendant, contend ed, that, under these circumstances, there was not sufficient publication in the county of Middlesex to support this information ; the principal ad of pub lication having taken place in the county of Essex. Lord Et tznaoliodon over-ruled this objection, observing, that whenever a letter is sent from one county into another, it was quite sufficient that it arrived there. The letter in question was put into the track for its publication in Middlesex. The hand-writing of the Defendant being proved, Sir VlCestY Glass, in a most feeling and able address to the Jury, on behalf of the Defendant, aemitted that he stood as a person convilted 'Ton the records of tl:e Court; but he could not help feeling that he had been hardly treated. He wrote this letter under the influence of a wounded spirit, goa led and perplexed in mind by such a transaction as had been described. Ilse Learned Counsel dwelt, with great sti eagth and feeling, spots the long and honourable services of the Defendant, a man now at almost the close of a long life, and brought in!ri disgrace by a cause, which he himself felt was hard one. It was with that spirit he wrote the letter ; and he left it to the Jury to consider, as he wrote it under such a state of irritation, whether some allowance ought not be made fur the wounded mind of a Man, accustomed to contem rive nothing but his own actions, always higaly re diaincling to his own honour, and serviceable to his Sovereign and to his County, for upwards of forty years. dle trusted the Jury would place themselves in the situation of such a man, now with grey hairs, descrniii. gto the grave. " Considering all the cis.- , cuinstancet," the Learned Counsel coutaafted, as the ETMVICZWIN •Nl ,4 9 .••••••••• •••• • • • self it may he, yet some allowance ought to Iptde toe parent, sma•ting under !he w u -it of Nor human ;Amity cannot be always guit atoms!. It is true, indeed, that speking in a COSSET' Of Justice, he ought not to have felt any resent ment,- because it is the duty of every man never W resent any thing, hut by appeal to the law of hh country." This, however, reminded him of the words of an eloquent writer, who says, •' That would, indeed, he gnake, hot the order of hu manity extends not so far."—lie cia-cluded with a hope, that the Jury would acquit this gallant officer of any intention to provoke the Prosecut r to Fig h t a duel, or commit any breach of the peace. - Lord ELL toaomovoit. in summing alp the evi dence, observed, that the question for the Jury's consideration. was, whether this letter was intended as a breach of the peac'e, or to induce ii? and whe ther it did not call on the Jury, with understandings formed as theirs, who were long in the habits of the world, to sae, whether it was not intended as a pro vocation to fight a duel ? The Jury retired for about twenty minutes, and then br aught in a Werdia of Nat Gado. A few other Causes, of no public moment, were di.powd of, and the sittings at Westminster Hall terminated. the Court sits to-morrow morning (this day) at Nisi Friar, in Guildhall. OLD B.iat.r SESSIONS, Dec: 8. The Sessions ended this day, and aff - ,rded scarce ly any thing worthy of notice. The only trial ca pable of exciting any interest, was that of James Sloth:row and Ho ,teth Sireno4; the former etearged with having burglarionJv And fel•ekusly entered the dwelling-house of Sir James Dunkin, in the pa rish of Mary-la-bole*, and having Wool from thence several articles of furniture and wearing apparel, to a co,siderable amount. The latter was charged with having teceived these articles, knowing them I to have been stolen. The first Witness, a young woman, servant to Sir James, and to *hos- care the house had been com mitted, stated, that, on the 15th of November last, at eis lit o'clock in the evening, she went on business abroad, and carefully locked the door. In about an how ..he returned to the house, and was sot prised to fi. d, that, in her absence, some persons had ob tained admiNsion, by the assistance (she upposed) of a talse key, and had taken form thence alnioA every stainable article of furniture or apparel. She im mediately made application to the Police Officers, in her neighbourhood, who were led to suspect Mrs. Simmons, in Mary la-bonne-lane, as tieing a party conees Led, from some detection of her dishonesty on a former occa.iou. On se aching the house of Mrs. Simmons, who lived there at the time with her hus band, since fled. several of the articles stolen from Sir J. Dunkin, on the evening above-mentioned, were discovered. She was accordingly taken into ens •ody, and, while detained for examination, the Pri soner, Hellsgrove, was observed to enter, Rll,l con verse very familiarly with her. From the suspi cious nature of this cesiference, the Officers were induced to arrest him. On the eternisation of Mrs. Simmons before the Presiding Magistrate, she con fessed she bad received the goods ftorn the hands of Hollsgrove, who had, on that occasion, let fall a skeleton key, which he acknowledged was his, and with which, she presumed, nit bad opened the door of the shove-mentioned house. The Ranuariaa, us a very few words, observed, however probable the guilt of Hollsgrove might be, the July. from the total want of direa evidence, could not possibly find him guilty. And although the condo. of Mrs. Simmons had been barefaceelly yet. as she lived at that time in the house with her husband, who had since Bed, she could not, in the eye of the law, be deemed g uilty , as it must be preowned that she ailed under his influence. POLILE. ss ANSION•NOSISR. 'folds Forster., a black sailor, in the Portuguese service, was fully committed to take his trial Foy stealing a piece of Chambray muslin, in the shop of Mr. Allard, Linen diaper, BishopsFrate-street appeired from the evidence of the aloneness. that the Prisoner wen , to the shop on pretance of buying handkerchief's, and was seen in the ad of healing the muslin, which was taken out of his pocket' by Mr. Alford. When searched, he was &cad not to have a single farthiag urea him. la his defence, he said, he took the muslin in mistake. William Brown and lireharst Daly, the two well dressed !roux, takirn up on Saturdiy, upon the Royal Exchange, on suspicion of being pickpockets, were put to the bar; tieing asked how they got their livelihood Brown said, he WAS a shoemaker, lately arrived from Staffordshire, and that he lodged at the three Kings, Piccadilly. Daly said, that he is a partrer wills his mother, in the straw bonnet busi ness, in Islington-road. A Solicitor, who attended for them, having undertaken to prAnce witnesses to their charades, they were remanded fur further examination. - The Charlotte, Ma MN •I. L. from Petershurgli, is arrived at Harerich,,,with the loss of anchors and cables. On Tuesday last the Great Annual Meeting of the Bath and West of England Society, was holden at Hetling House.

The attendance of the Nobility, Gen tiy, and Agriculturists, has been on few occasions more numerous or respeflable. Ibe thew of live stock was inlet ior in point of number to some for mer years, which is to be partly attributed to the Meeting being held a week earlier, of which many hieeders might not have been aware.
