BRIGHTON, Novalieu it. It has rikriv occurred in thestricsl annals to re cord such brilliant success as attended Miss F. H. Kozees debit last night ih the tragedy or Nowt) sad Mitt. This young lady was, we understand. a gran favourite with the Dublin audience, who (as it has been observed, that the valour and the ex ploits of the warrior would soon be forgotten, or perhaps their fame never circulated. if the poet did no t render them immortal) may justly take credit to themselves for having recognized, as they de served, these talents and accomplishments which promise to shine with extraordinary lustre.— Her figure is about the middle size, and poseeseed of all the attractions with which youth and grace fulness invest the female form. Her voice is pecu liarly sweet, flexible, and powerful. mid her into. nation of the purest kind ; her features are regular. sad their expression suited extremely well with the character of the innocent, the gentle Joliet. It is of little importance to say that her appearance was hailed with a worm and kindly greeting, but it is interesting to note the reiterated peals of applause which with few imervalo, and thole " not far be tweet)," subsequently resounded through the house in testimony of the deep impression which theglow tog truth and energy pervading the whole perform.. once had made upon the minds of her auditors. When the transitory emotion consequent upon the first intredoction tb a scene which must he consi dered particularly trying to female nerve., had sided, she appeared unembarrassed, and that de pression of both physical and mental power fre quently observable upon similar occasion s , h a d no - room fur the exercise of its withering influence. The balcony scene, the first in which her abilities were past to the proof, was decisive as the tour iii which the Roman hero spoke, when lie said, " You carry CASA& and his fortunes." It most have at. once relieved the anxiety of her friends, if any could have been eotertsined, and assured her audience they should have no occasion for the ezerci.e of their " usual indulgence." Her mariner, now playful, now earliest, fond, and yet not devoid of anxiety, and the tones of her voice, which finely corresponded with the emotions of a true and passionate love, were delightfully varied and expressive. The news of Romeo's banishment. dreadful indeed to one eirbdtied by a lender and devoted attachment, served to display a correct and ardent conception, successfully aided by physical powers, which, coo.. odering bee ysath and sex, are uncommonly great. The soliloquy, after receiving the "medicinal" drug from the Frier (a still more arduous trial of intellectsal spirit), was given with great force. It ins highly wrought, yet never deviated iota as extreme. The iutrusive fear, lent indeed it might be a deadly poison, and the shuddering horror with which it is natural that one full of youthful beauty and healthful spirit should contemplate even a mo• mentary consignment to a dreary tomb, gave to this scene • melancholy and fearful effect. In "the lee' sad act," the eager embracing of her much-lovaid Lord, which met no sweet rel ure,and the short drag. glefur mastery between life and dearth, after she had nabbed herself. called forth plasdita both " loud and deep," and of long continuance. These were no more than she deserved, they were not the verdict of • picked jury, but the spontaneous effusions of those .ohe admired the wonderful efforts of youthful 'genies, and who would think it " poor indeed" to .withhold the tribute which was doe. Mr. C. Kea zut's Mimeo deserved such a Alia ; it was full of lire sod vigour. Ks dying scene presented a won derful blending of confused recollection end tor turing regret. Mr. Jones'. Mercutio was spirited and much applauded. The tragedy was announced ' for repetition amidst load cheering from all puts of the house, which weit miry welt attended.

The men ascribed this in auspicious circumstance to the Captain's having taken a black cat on board from the last port they touched at. He immediately called the men aft, and asked them if it really was so? They, without hesitation, confirmed the report. "Overboard with the black cat!"_" That," exclaimed an old sea man.

Ul4 VORTUKATII CASE.—A nerds of Ireland missed a consti congregation. in which sckisn 31 tditerraneso, z 7 Lim COVENT-G4RDEN TREAnir,. ~• _ tHELDENIt4M I'IIEAtRE. On Tuesday evening, after • most successful season, Messrs. ABBOTT and FABIAN concluded their theatrical campaign, under the same favourable auspices as marked its commencement; our distin guished amateurs giving the powerful attraction of their performances its Sit Cymbeline, tor the first time undertaken by them ; and in the amusing farce of The Lady and the Devil. Cols eidering the great difficulties with which the- play is encumbered, we are free to confess that we were but little prepared for the masterly style in which it was brought forward. In the costume, throughout, the most minute attention was evident ; the processitins were all well managed ; and it is but justice to say, that every individual laboured to the utmost of their ability to keep the interest of the scene alive. Of the hero, Leonatars Posthumus, it might be suffi cient to say, that in Colonel Beaxemtv's represen tation the character lost none of the dignity or pas sionate sentiment with winch it is so deeply im bued. There are few indeed who appear to us so thoroughly conversant with the inspired beauties of SHARMAN& as Colonel Baauet.LT, or so sen sible of the value of simplicity in illustrating that text which has been but too frequently perplexed end confused by the elaborate display of learning end local knowledge in its professed commentators. Capt. A. Bietteetec sustained ladies° infinitely better than any thing we have seen him perform, al ways excepting Sir John Falstraff—and that is saying much. The celebrated and foist difficult chamber scene mis right welt played. Mr. DAW *INS, was not only quaint but highly humorous as Cluten ; rod we uwu that Mr. B•Nags, whose forte we have always considered to be low comedy, star. printed us by the impressive manner in which he ac. quitted himself as the faithful Pisanio. Of Mr. Aieorr, as Gniderirts, it would be impossible not to make most favourable mention. His quarrel with Violets was excellent, and much applauded. Mr. GLADSTAINRS gave the language of Belarius with energy; and the advantage of seeing every performer perfect and well grouped, was manifest, and creditable to Mr. KIIIINgTIi, the prompter. Miss SHITHSoN appeared as the interesting Ineogen —an arduous undertaking for the professed and admired votaress of Thalia; but her efforts pro. cured for her the warmest approbation of the audience, and the tribute of sympathy infinitely more valuable then the loudest plaudits—" the silent tear that fall* for others' woe." Mrs. Cossoa played the Queers. The Lady and the Devil followed—Colonel BelitLISY assuming next( "Pik/love, with the happiest success; and Mr. DAWKINS, his trusty Jeremy, in which he kept the merriment of the audience at its height. Mr. Tuomeoott played Signor Rafael, as he does every character of the sort, well. Miss COOKS did more fuse Zephyrina than we had expected ; and Mrs. WOOLDS, to aid the evening's entertainment, op. peered as the Regress. The moon behind a cloud, er seder an eclipse, never excites our wonder; bet we cannot bear to see a fine countenance obscoied by so dingy a veil, even for • moment. The house was the most crowded of any during the season, which has just terminated, and the audience coin. prised nearly all the fashion, grace, youthfulness, end beauty of this gay town. Between the play and farie Mr. ABBOTT came forward, and took his leave of his Cheltenham frieuds iu nearly the fol• lowing terms : " Ladies mid Gentlemesp—At the drier of one dramatic mamas I come forward to poetic easeomary tri but, nf thanks See the latiering; support with which the theatre has been hemmed ; and however customary such ark mowledgmesis may MO may seaters bonesely to my that In ibis particular iusisece they do mot arise solely home as set of duty, but from the genuine impulse of grateful feeliegs. With your permission 1 will give a brief narrative of the cirrnmstanees committed with the sperotasloo of Mr. Farley sad myself. I believe the treaty for this theatre was sot coorluded more than • moth brim the opening—a very, very short time to make those arreogewienta necessary to eniere your palrasage —the building itself deprived of every thing that could lessen oar difficulties. But from the warm sad liberal support held out to us, we braved she &tigers, and launched ear bark fa &dewily: we &owl no angry el. meats to mottled sitrh, but sailed on prosperously, cbeered by your approba. Hon. In our efforts to merit the favour so highly prised, our company was principally composed of performers wbu bad stamped their names on the boards of metropolitan theatres; the coneneencemest of the Load.. compotes naturally de prived us of these powerful auxiliaries, and is the ewer geocy of the mooniest we were obliged to obtain such suleati tuies as we could God, recommended by the judgment of persons on whom we placed some reliamee, mid may l be permitted to say that if they have mot been se fortunate as to receive your undivided approbation, their situation ban been one of no small difficulty; vete.aas sad raw revisits jumbled promiscuously together—Hume claiming to be "em the *WA" and others requiring a stif to support them—yet all equally zealous to merit and demise that Reward the actor looks for—public approbation. 1 gladly seise ibis opportunity of acknowledging the mere then hied &sea:Mice we have received from Colusiel Berkeley,sed these amateurs who have so powerfully cooperated with hie inedesvoters, in establishing a taste for the drama in this tows: to thvlr diatiognished seal, backed by such generous friends as the theatre has Iwo graced with during this armee, are we en tirely isdebtrd for its success. Now that the bodies,' is about to pas s into other hands, in nanreqwesee of a demand made by the Trailers fur an 'sierras, of rest, which in jos flee to ourselves we are obliged, however rehectantly, to decline, I trust that • corresponding feeling will be exhi bited ors the part of the public, sad that Cheltenham may bout of as respectable a rompsay some, provincial theatre Ito the kingdom. I am iudebted to the proprietors of Covent garden theatre for the opportunity of them acknowledging the great personal kindness, Malik:hip, aud weenies ohm to me, for which permit me to offer my most respectful thanks ; and I am desired by Mr. Farley to express his WO( ere regret at not being able to be present ow Ibis awe sron—he unites with me in wishing belittle, baptisms, sod prosperity to our friends mid pause's, sad meat respeetfelly we bid you farewell." This address, which was delivered with ext►eme effect, sod evidently under the influence of very strong feelings, was received throughout with the warmest marks of favour. and frequently interrupted by the applause of the audience. The intimation of the theatre !leasing into other hands, was received with evident surpr.re anal regret; but we are most happy to state, that an arrangement has since been made, whereby the management will be continued for three years in the hands of those Gentlemen who have proved themselves so worthy of public favour and patronage, and who have done so much in one season to restore the drama to respectability.-- I Cheltenham C'lrroniele.j A gentleman offered his friend a pinch nut of his box, which he said he much regarded, haviog been in ilia family an hundred years ; his friend, thankiog his, sold, " I am not lir the habit of taking snuff. but, as a curiosity, must have a pinch out of your marry box." ~• lov 1.4* EiLiCatick. ` COVEY OF CHANCERY, Lupin**.

COURT OP KING'S BENCH, Worruimnsa, Teavasiuy, NOVI:MOM 14. THE ZING V. RUtIaNNA WRIGHT. The Defendant, accompanied by two male and three female friends, and carrying an infant in her arm., came into Court. Mr. Guatny then rose, and moved the judg ment of the Court on the Defendant for a libel. The CHISF JUSTICS read his notes and the libel, which was contained in a letter to Di. Wade, of Bristol. The Defendant having no aff►davits to put in. was desired by the Court to offer what she had to ob.erve in mitigation. The Defendant then proceeded to read to the Court • long written address, in which she declared tl►at what she had now to offer was not in mitigation, but in justification. She declared that the Jury by whom she was tried were grossly ignorant. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said he was convinced such • charge o►► • Jury of the city of London was on• founded. The Defendant said one of them had displayed bis ignorance. Mr. Justice BATLEY said, if that were so, it did not justify a charge of ignorance against them all. To revile the Jury could not do her any service. The Defendant proceeded to read a declaration of her religious tenets, denying the Divinity of our Saviour, and said that, like that great reformer, she was made a subject of persecution, and her Judges and prosecutors resembled the Jews ■nd Judges of our Saviour's time. She proceeded at some length iu this style, objecting to the truth of the Christian religion, when Mr. Justice BEST interposed, nod objected to the course which the Defendant was pursuing. The Defendant still persisted. The CHIEF JUSTICE then admonished her to adopt a different course. If she persisted in the course which she was now taking, the Court must exercise the power it possessed, and proceed to judgment._ - The Defendant went on, regardlesa of this eau. tiou.—" I have beer' charged with a libel on reli. Rim, and disturbing the price of the King. How, by libelling the Christian rehgi,m, can I hove di.. turhed the peace of the King, who does not"-- Mr. Justice BAYLItIf" We mit sit to hear you make such observations as these, which are wholly irrelevant to your case." The CIIIII JUSTICS—" Mrs. Wright, will you attend to sue.—[The Defendant was endeavouring to force • hearing by raising her voice.] —You are injuring yourself ; we cao't sit here rod suffer the 'chi/jou of the country to be reviled, or the truth of Christiaitity to be &med. Can you, as you go on, omit those offensive ports? or, if you wi.h, the Court will remand you, and make an order for your com ing on a future day, in order to afford you au op. portunity for reconsiderotiou." _ _ _ The befendsid, without attending to his Lord ship, proceeded with her 'eliding. Mr. Justice BAYI.SY—" Mrs. Wright, are we to understand that you refu►e to accept the iodul geoce offend you by his Lordship ?" Mr. Justice BIST—s• Dou't you think, Mrs. %Vright, you had better read it over. By the man ner in which you read, it appears to me to have been written lur you, and that you are ignorant of its contents." The Defendant—'° No ; I have read it through, and it contains my sentiments." Mr. Guam ay submitted, that so the Defendant had avowed her object in reading was justification and not mitigation of punishment. she was not en titled to read it, otherwise a Defendant might con sume the lime of the Court fur a whole Term. The Defendant (In a loud voice)—" No. Mr. Gurney. I don't want to consume the time of the Court; I hove a right to goon with my defence, and I expect their Lordship.' titivation: I will go through my book."

Tlshi was the principal topic of erraversation yesterday at TAISSIsSsies and Meer spoiling circles, and this forfeit hos left mee► doubt whether the great battle between Martin and Randall will take place.. the 3d of December, although the whole of the immense stake office Ausdred pounds aside is deposited in the ►ands of Mr. John Jackson. The slake was nearly forfeited by Mania's backer, who sent • check instead of money, mods sporting diameter get it changed, sod made good the whole emery just is time. This check remains se it did, leaving Martin to stand two hundred pounds of the battle meaty ►imself l aed he declared he won't fight, at • meeting at Mr. Thritle's, in the Haymarket, yesterday, where Spring was is •tteodanee. Spring there offered to fight Neale on the day (Tuesday siennight) from a ease of pits to YOOl. of ►is owe money, the forfeit le Neat. being 1501. which be has received. It seems that the amateurs who had backed Spring freely, would ►ave saved the forfeit without • scruple, bad his barker signified that he would nut be present to make the stakes good. The forfeit has caused the greatest emanate'', and those who had taken odds tbnt Spring and Martin would win at 4 to 1, and that Spring and Randall would win at to 1, have lust the first event by Spring's forfeit, and that is a good reason to suppose 'bat Randall and Martin will mot light. It is likely that Neste will accept Spring's challenge, and in that case it would he • sew match altogethe►, with which former betting has tan. thing to de._ tiring sufrerr at present from a slight Warms% and ow of his hoods is out quite right. On Tuesday se'nnight ■ Gentleman of Edin burgh, for a trifling bet. lifted op in his arms a bag of peus, 31st. I lib. jockey weight, and bend ing bark with it lying on has breast, touched the ground with his head, from whence he again rose, and placed the bag on the floor. The foundations for two new Courts of Law in Westminster ■rr finished, and the wells are being raised. The walls are built upon stone, which will prevent them from sinking, and thus render the buildings more secure. The new Mews building at Pimlico occupies most of the ground from the Riding-house round is the corner of Grosvenor-place. All the dead wall that now faces Arabella-row soil Lower Gros veaor-place, will be removed, that the view of the new building may prove somewhat more agreeable. The houses beginning ou this side of the Magdalen public-house round the corner, inclading the Bun house, are to come down, souse iionieduittly, bat the other, not till the leases are expired, the present lessees requiring a good price for them. The Journal de Paris of Monday coot sins a let ter from Verona dated the 3d instant, front which the following is an extract : Within sine few dem the hope of maistaloiag the peace of Europe has somewhat diminished.

The SOLICITDIt-GENEIAL then moved for the judgment of the Cuurt on Samuel Waddington, convicted before the Lord Chief Justice at the sit tings at Westminster, of publishing • blasphemous libel, called Painter's Principles of Nature. The Defendant appeared on the floor with his low library under his arm, and tendered an affida vit, which he was desirous of bearing read by the officer. The CHIEF JOSTICE—" The proper time for reading your affidavit will be after I have read my notes taken at the true" The Defendant expressed a hope that he should not lose his opportunity, as it was an affidavit com plaining of a misdirection on the part of the Judge, and other irregularities in the proceedings, ou which he grounded his application for a new trial. The CHIVY Jotretca then read his notes ; after which the Defendant's affidavit war put in and read, in which he submitted to the Court that he had sot been properly tried, as he had been tried by a Special Jury, whereas. according to Blackstone, he should have been tried by a Petty Jury. He alio complained that the Chief Justice, in one part of the trial, said, that denying the divinity of Christ wu contrary to law ; whereas there was an Act of Parliament which legalised the denial, in the sanc tion it gave to Unitarians, who did deny the doctrine of the Trinity.
