WooLDIt too!, late Commancler of the Admiral Pasley Armed Brig, who so gal lantly fought and captured the Spanish ship Rosario, in the Gut of Gibraltar, is arrived in the Trusty, from Gibraltar. Letters from Gibraltar, dated the 16th ult. state the arrival of several merchant vessels for different ports in the Straits, among which is the Brig 44my, of Plymouth, with a valuable cargo of pilchards, for Venice. Letters from the Good Design, of 24. guns, Capt. ELLIOTT, dated the Ist November last, from Mi_ norca, state her safe arrival there from Egypt, with several Transports. The Goad Design had been sickly, and had lost eight men, but the people were/ then more healthy. Capt. ELLIOTT had been among those who were sick.

It is to be printed in octavo. A sixth volume of the Transaaions of the Lin/lawn Society, is soon to be published. A Diaionnaire de tHistoire Naturelle, which has long been a desideratum in Literature, is in a state of great forwardness at Paris. The depart ment of Entomology is written by the celebrated M. LATREILLE Of the National Institute. Mr. IVIArsI4AII, many of whose ingenious and valuable produttions enrich the volumes of the Lin- Transapivis, has in the Press a work entitled Entomologic Britaßiricai. which must proAie highly acceptable to the scientific admirers of Natural His tory. The Roads In many places begin to bear An ap: pearanee of impeding travelling, owing to the great fall of Snow, particularly in Oxford and Gloucester shire, for between Frogrnill and Witney; the snow in many places is lout feet deep; The Bkdsciiit' atei.; lately atrived Nth Madras, has brought home a box from His Highness the NABOB of ARCOTi as a present for the KiNO : the NABOB has also by this conveyance sent letters to His Royal Highness the PitiNeE of WAL Ei 'and the Marquis CORNWALLIS. ,Sir SIDN EY S“ITH is at Bath, recruiting his health, after the labouri of so much active acid glo rious service in Egypt: Br;ghtom is now nearly deserted; and Eath has become well filled with Fashion. Mr. JOHN WitAtAsis, attended by a number of the most respefiable Inhabitants of Windsor, has Made so successful a Canvas for that Borough, on the interest of his father, that no doubt remains of his being returned as the Colleague of Mr. WE v in the ensuing Parliament: The Lioness of the Menagerie at Paris, mother of the three young Lions ; has lately whelped two females ; this her third gestations She suckles them with the same care; and always appears gentle and caressing to the ketper. The three young ones are well; the one that was castrated is grown very surly ; it is kept in a separate den ; the two others are very gentle. The'last Paris Papers mention, that ; upon the 28th ult. about two leagues from Nantes, the Diligence was attacked by a discharge of fire"-arms: The driver and passengers .were su mm one d, i n the frame of the King,. -to alight. They demanded money, and opened the carriage doors. The Gens &Arms surrounded them, surprized and disarmed two of the robbers,: Brigadier Lvc 13.0rx attarked a third, struggled with him body to body,, and threw him to the ground,. after having escaped a pistol shot. The fourth threw away his• arms and fled: The three first are in the prisons of Nantes: The James and Mary, Stocker, from Poole to Hall, is lost ; crew saved in the Camel store-ship. If E .17 ; 1Z • Diury-Lay. THE Comedy of , Pde a Wife and Have a Wife was performed last night at this Theatre; -for the first time this season. The charader of Leon, which was personated by Mr. KEMB LE,. - resembles; in some respells, that - of Petruchio ; • but there is an additional moral feature in it, which heightens con siderably the nature of the charadcr, and the diffi culty of acting it. Petrut4io is apparently boiste rous and resolute ; Leon is at first the timid, simple clown, and afterwards becomes the husband de termined, but not riotous. No small share of taste and judgement is requisite- to the perfect delinea tion of such a charaler, and Mr. KENIB L E'S exhi bition of -it was, in general,' an excellent piece of ;feting. The same may be said of Miss MELI.oN in Estilania, and of BANNISTER, jun. in Michael Perez. The latter wanted only a little occasional gravity in some parts, which he performed rather too much in the burlesque. SU ETT, in the Old Woman, kept the House in a roar of laughter. The Ballet of The Festival of Bacchus, was again repeated with applause, to which succeeded the Farce of .211 . y Grandmother. Covent- Garden. Mrs. B ILL tccr(sl4 last night, for the first time this season, resumed her Chirader of Rosetta; in the pkasant Opera of Love in a Pillage. Our Readers need hardly be told, that she gave the Airs in the most beautiful and finished style of vocal excellence. Per. haps the rigid musical critic may think that those airs Ivould have appeared to more advantage if presented with their original simplicity ; but the public, taste has undergone. such a change, that the original sim plicity would now appear cold and tame. Besides, Mrs. Et ct.trio•rort has a style of her own, and the original compositions are to be considered as the ground-work on which she raises a superstruaute of taste, science, and beauty created by herself. The songs in which her excellence waS chiefly distinguished Were " Gentleyouth'--" In Lore should there meet, &c." and "Shtin,le In the last, which was a capital h ravuraohe was encored. All of her sohgs were, however, given in the best style, and she deserves great commendation for the manner in which she ailed the charaaer. She was easy, playful and spirited; - • Her manner of singing " Young I am," waFt indeed, a very good specimen comic abilir'. She managed the aileded , zveeping, direcfted towards WO9dc . ock, and the side-laugh, with great skill and admirable effed. MuNnEN, on his entrance in justice Woodcock, was received with the most hearty gratulations by the Audience, who were doubtless very.glad to find that so great a favourite had only fallt. I a vidiuf to the hand of report. He. performed the part with much humour. INcLEDoiI deserves particular notice for his manner of ading, as well as singing; in ,Young Mea dows. He was natural and easy throughout. He never sung the airs with more success. jolt NS iONE and KNIGHT in Hawthorn and Rode, gave an visential snppnrt to thi3 autublaig Opera. Mrs. ATKINS ; in bicin . da, would have appeared to mucii , greater advantage if she had not been des tined to sing on the same night with such a Rosetta. She introduced an air of the bravura kind, rather injudiciously, as that style of singing was so ex quisitely performed in the same drama. The part of Eustace was oddly 11.-.sig.ned to .CLAKENUNT, who gave no proof of his vocal powers, though he was to pass for a Mfisic-master. Mr 3. DAVENPORT in Aunt Deborah was rather too forcible. She is a good Adressi but in general a little too stormy: " The Statitte Dernee; at •the close Of the lirSt Aka, was unusually successful in raising merriment among the AUdience, chiefly owing to little St NINIONSi who dressed and acted the Cok:.mCziet in a very ivhinisi— cal manner. The Opeia was attended by. a eery numerous Audience; and was altogether soo.vell performed, that i with the powerful support of such a Rosetta, it will no doubt be very attraftive on every ie . petition; The Dramd has been thought to have a great. moral influence upon society; and hence the esta blishment of a Theatre at Botany Bay was aeeMed an event likely to corral the .vices of the legal emigrants from this Country.; Late accounts from that,quarter, however, shew that di:fnatic discipline has had little effed upon them, or at least, that they are unwilling to appear in any Lut Their famiet charader.% Mr. ARC:HE ,whose desolate inatiiion - was lately destrib'ed in the Piiblit Prints, is said to be a lineal descendant of Sir IgN.Ac NEWTON, and hence we may account for his hospitable protettiem. of spiders, undet the idea that. they are pradical Maibenia-. A few evenings since a§ a Oenileman, an inhabi tant of the neighbourhood of Charles -street, West minster; was passing down the steps leading from Duke-street into the Paik ; he crbseived the aged woman who attends there tO sweep the steps in the day time; and in the everringwith a tanthorn to light the passengers i to be in a wretched State from hunger and cold. He put his hand into his pocket, intend ing to give• her a shilling. On the following morn ing she called and told him she believed he had made a. mistake the evening before, and had given her a gttinea instead of a shilling, and she had brought it back ; and for this 'uncommon honesty Ci caused a number of copies of a full statement of the case to be written and posted up in the neigh bourhood of Duke street. The tiii-abeth ; coal-loaded, has . , been found at sea withoirt any person on board,- and carried into. Early Yesterday morning, *atehmen Tonging to the Parish of Samt,'Mary, Whiteehapel, weregOing their rounds, two' of them found'a`poor emaciated black than dead in Leman-street, Pood man'-fields, whoth they took to the watch-house to be oWned, .ifICKS's HALL, jAk. t T[ rIFFORE MR. mAiNwAßltrd h A SPECIAL YUAY , . i.EEKI" THE LONDON N VF.T-TOCI: ' 'This was a Cause of considerable importjiice; rind highly interesting to tlikt part of the pity interested in th operations of the Wet Inds_ Company, or other corporations of a similar kind; The suit Was instituted by the Plaintiff - to cover compensation from the DefendantS for certaid buildings in Ratcliffe Highway, occupied by the formerin a fa6tory for spinning liven-) am by fria;. chinery Worked by a steam engine, which 'build ings are to be pulled ii(;wn by order of the Wei Dock Company, tinder the powers in therii vested by the Al of Parliament tinder which they are in corporated ; and also for the costs to be incurred by the pulling down, removing to other pretniS6; And re-ereaing the said steam engine and other ma chinery in as perfect a stare as they originally stood, • and for an adequate compensation to the Plaintiff for the loss he would suStair by the cessation of hi s tr a d e during the period of pulling down and re-building the said engine and machinety. Mr. Serjeanr BraT, on the part of the Delendintsi stated to the Court and Jury, that the Defendants had already compromised that part of th rtlattet in dispute whiCh related to the pulling down of the buildings, by .agreeing to ply the Plaintiff four thousand pounds. The only question thim left for the Court and Jury now to be decided was, Whether any compensation .as dee to the Plain tiff on the subjett of compensation for loss of trade He would contend raj such compensation was dire, for he would -prove by evidence; that the con cern had long been a losing one to th! Plaintiff; that three years agoihe had resolved to abandon it, as so far from gaining, he was losing by tha business 501. a week; that about two venis since he objea ed 'to his being over-rated in the Parochial Taxes, because his premises were by no means fully oc cupied, and his bttsiness'a losing one ; that most of his work pedple had been long since dischargt.'dy and the latter work carried on was merely with a view to support this claim for compenkation from the Wet. Dock Company, who by pulling down the : building for which the Plainr:ff had agreed to ac.: cept a compromise, had in fact done him a most desirable service, by relieving him from a business, which, if followed much longer"; Must be inevitably ruinous. He 'therefore contended, the Plaintiff had no right whatever to any compensation. In support of this statement, a ntimber Of with nesies were examined; Mr. ERSKINE, for the Plaintiff, argued with great ability, that his client hid every claim to the corti. pensation for which he had applied ; that in his ease was involved the right of protection which belonged to every Englishman under the laws of his country against the. arbitrary encroachments of corporate bodies; and after a very able and feeling appeal to the Court and jury, he addliced a number of wit- • nesses in support of his claim; The Chairman summed up the evidence; iind about five o'clock the jury retired, and after a deli bernrion a near an hour; rkturra4,l a s..rdift for -tits Plaintiff of 400oL additional compensation to the 4oL:61: alicady agreed to by the Defendants. MANSION j N. S. A- number of-Carmen were summoned this_ day before the Lcitiii MAvok, charged by the Inhx.. bitants of Mark-lane with bringing a number of carts into that street, which caused such, a con fusion in the street that they broke the windows and endangered the lives and lirtibs of persons pass:. in: Many respeetable Gentle Men of that neigh; bourhuod attended; and told his Lordship that then; carts were very great nuisances 'to the shops and houses of the Inhabitants, and that they had no right to stand there by: Law: The Lotto I\l. - 011. heard these complaints great patience, and finding there . was no tithe.. Keeping Stand in Mark-Lane, cOnvieted six of them. in the penalty of ss. each, with the 65;penteS, which he obliged them to pay direaly ; one of this fie.., natty goes to the Parish where this offence was aim- , mitted.
