The feelings of Mr. Mathews were severely wounded, a great number or, persons Were prevented the enjoyment of •a most amusing and an unexceptionable spectacle ; and a charity, .which gives food to the Iningry, and clothing to the naked, was deprived of a large Addition to its means. " Mr. Mathews, before he left Boston, in pursuance of a de- termination formed and , arprested loug. before, gave to the Theatrical tund the mum of 1,200 dollars, being all his ixsr tion of thi extra receipts for the tickets ; and, to the British Charitable Society, and. the Theatrical Fund, the net receipts at Boylston Hall. It is due to Mr. Mathews to state, that until the unfounded aspersions of the Galaxy, his exhibitions haVe been'coniidered as free from exception, by the most rigid members of the school amorality in the country from whence he comes. As faithful portraits of character, exact personification of peculiar manners and habits ; as exhibitions of amusing features and Scenes of human life ; thez have been universally admired ; and Mr. Mathews himselt, whose merits as, a scholar and virtues as a man are Universally known, has enjoyed the friendship and esteem of many oE the most respectable and distinguished indi viduals in the.count?rwhich gave him birth.

CONTEST FOR THE ALDEILMANIC GOWN.—It is expected that the contest lit the approaching election of an Alderman for Langbourn Ward, in the room of Sir JOHN EAMER, deceased, will be very warmly maintained upon the part of all the candidates. A deputation of some , of the most respectable and affluent inhabitants of the Ward waited upon ROWLAND STEPHENSON, Esq. banker, of Lombard-street, for the purpose of ascertain ing whether he would undertake to represent the Ward, and having received an answer to their wish, an active canvass was immediately commenced. The other candidates are Mr. KEY, a stationer, and Sir FRANCIS DESANGES, who is already known to the public as having served the office of Sheriff of London, [From the Dublin. Freenutni sJourval. 1 A letter received in town yesterday (Sunday, the 30th ult.) from a Gentleman who went. aver to tlllybead. specially for the purpose of making inquiries relative giihni deplorable event, cOnnrrns the accounts which have been laid before the public in all the main particulars. It states, that the vessel struck at ten o'clock on Wedneaday morning, on- the West Mouse 'Rack, about a mile and a half from the shore ; she wits -then drift•:. ing wit .the tide at the rate of, ten knots an hour; when ap proaching the rock, the men were put into the boat to tow her oil; but to no_effct—she struck, and went down in about three guars' ters of an hour. In the mean time nine of the deck passengers, and one _cabin passenger (a Liverpool_ watchmaker), leaped from the bowsprit into the boat. The captain leaped over, board, and was lashed to its helm. They were landed 10. miles nearer to Liverpool than Holyhead., Our excellent friend Hore, who was m the cabin when the vesselstruck, got on deck, and was the only one (except Mr. APlCeniie, who escaped) who retained his self,possession. He continued in the packet while any hopes remained, throwing out buckets of water, anti wait seen ,afterwards attached to a crate of eggs. in the water by a deck passenger, who was on the same-,-erat.‘, He remained clinging to it for about fifteen minutes; and exclaiming aloud, " - (3h God ! is their no hope of relief?" At the expiration of a quarter of an hour he let go his hold and sunk to rise no more. The man who was on the crate with him says, he did not seem completely exhausted at the time. In ten minutes after our dear friend went down, the boat which rescued 111‘Kenzie and the two deck passengers reachfd the crate. No trace has been discovered of . Mr. sore's body. The Gentleman Who went to Holyhead travelled above 10 miles along the shore, and left an accurate description of his person to every respectable individual along the line. If his remains should be washed ashore, a communication will be made to his afflicted friends in Dublin, to whom it would be some consola tion to recover rind pay the last sad ditties to his Mortal re mains. No bodies were found after the first day.. 'I he boats from Holyhead picked up 29 bodies, all deck passengers,, ex cept three, gentleman who had a bill in liis,pocket, drawn b Messrs. Ferrier and Politicks, of Dublin, and sup posed to be Mr. W. Martin's nephew ; a lady who had letters in her pocket directed, Mrs. Reid, at Mr. Alderman M'Kenny's, and. a lady (name unknown) with a child at her breast. It is consolatory_to be enabled to state, that Mr. I)owton was not on board the Ales-i. That gentleman sailed by the Holy -head packet on Wednesday morning. • We can also state, on the best authority, that Mr. Coote, the. Gentleman who is mentioned in an evening paper to have left the Hibernian Hotel for Liverpool, on board the Alert, did net sail in that ill-fated vessel, although his name was booked, Mr. Coote-having been prevailed upon to change his route, which he accordingly did, and left the above hotel for Holyhead on Tues day morning. We therefore hasten to contradict the report of his being one of the unhappy suiti:rers, and to relieve the minds of that Gentleman's friends. Mr. Benson, of Bachelor's-walk, is anothor person who was, as stated in some of the evening papers, to have sailed in the Alet t. We are authorized to say, thatil'lr. Benson was not in that packet. fie also, fortunately, wen: by the H ead. CORONERS' INQUESTS. Yvs'erday an Inquest was held at the Gover nor's House, Tothill-ficld's 'Prison, on the body of Patrick James Kelly. Mr. John Benly, surgeon to the Prison, de posed dint the deceased had been admitted into the sick ward on the 2Llth of last February. He laboured under: severe cold and fever, which generated into typhus-fever; but by the treatment he received it abated, and hopes were entertained of his recovery till within the last fortnight. He was allowed wine and other proper nourishment, but he died on Titesday. John Barber, a prisoner, attended the deceased since he was admitted into the sick ward. He received every thing that was ordered by the surgeon, and received no ill-treatment. He had his wine and tea previously to his death orethatevening, but witness was not present when he expired. The Jury inquired whether any of the deceased's friends were in the habit of visiting him. Witness replied, that a young woman was the only person whom he had seen. The Jury next inquired what of. fence lie was committed for, or how long he was in prison ? Witness replied he was unable to answer any of these questions. The beadle said that the deceased was the son of a merchant in Dublin. He had been formerly in good expectations, but his prospects failed, and he came to England, where he supported himself for a time by teachhig a t a school, but was ultimately committed from Queen-square for obtaining money under false pretences. The Jury were unanimous that the deceased had been treated well, consistent with the regulations of the Prison. Verdict—" Died by the Visitation of Clod." Yesterday an Inquest 'was taken in the Vestry-room of St. John's Church, on the body of Ann Anderson. The husband of deceased stated, that on Sunday morning he came ho his lodgings in Parish-street, aft er an a b sence o f e i g ht d a ys he knocked at the door, and one of his c hild ren , w h o was in the n to room with the deceased, put the key under the door; witness then unlocked the door, anti went into the room and found his wife lying across the bed quite dead an d co ld! George Lee, surgeon, stated that he opened the he a d o f the deceased, and found a quantity of coagulated blood on the brain, sufficient to cause death. There were no marks of violence about her per. son. Verdict—" Natural Death." . _ An Inquest was takenyesterday at the Moor's Arms, Brom. ley, on the body of Mrs. Digs, late of Robinhood-sang, Poeler, who was found drowned in the river lee on Monday morning; had been missing from home for the last eighteen days, and no tidings could be heard of her until she was found drowned.— There were no marks of violence on the body, nor was there any evidence to show the Jury how, or by what means, the de. ceased came to be in the water. They returned a verdict of-L " Found Drowned." Tuesday, in t h e r iv e r Lee.—The d e - Viatitday an Inquest was taken on th e body of Mary Win ( field, f )il a tradesman residing in St. George's in ceasedfou was found drowned w w i n f e e d o East, and having some time ago separated from her husband, lived at service in Shadwell. She was missing four days when picked out of the water. The Jury returned a verdict or— " Found drowned." An Inquest was held on Tuesday afternoon, at the Crown and Fox Inn, Highgate, on the bud of Sarah Priest, whose death was occasioned by excessive drinking. Anne Woolley stated she resides in Mr. Doinville's family at Highgate; de ceased was cook there ; 'she has known her above tour months, daring which time she has frequently seen her in a state of in toxication ; about six weeks since she was very much so, and was very boisterous and ill behaved. On Monday week she came home and was then much in liquor ; about twelve o'clock on Sunday deceased was in the kitchen, and witness supposed from her appearance she had been drinking ; she dressed the dinner in an incorrect way, and she wits.also very strange dur_ ing the day; in the afternoon deceased went up stairs, and on the witness going into the room she observed deceased was very sick, but never spoke; the witness visited her every half hour till one o'clock, and between four and five she was found dead in her bed. Elizabeth Wells, servant to Mr. Dom. vile, saw deceased twice in a state of intoxication; on one oc casion when she went. to town, had seen deceased with two bottles full of gin, and has seen her drink one off without using a fo g u l ird s lierin ir. a N s l ta ra t t e so o n e p a u g occasioned by some i ntox i cat i ng ,liquor; he attempted to rouse her, but without effect. Verdict s t surgeon ori Died from the effects of intoxication." Mys'rEtttous ROBDERY.—lnformation to the following effect was given yesterday a t t h e P o li ce Office, Hatton Garden:—On Friday NNS, Esq. Solicitor, last Thos. nu-square, em ployed a curter to remove his furniture from his to%s is residence in Warwick court , Holborn, to of 4, G ray r a house he had taken at Queen's Elms, Bromp ton ; in consequence of much valuable property being in the caravan, he sent a porter, in whom he reposed much trust, to accompany the carter to take care of it : a trunk filled with plate, with a small box inside, containing a quantity of Va luable trinkets, and a box containing much other valuable property, were deposited at the bottom of the cart, under the furniture. Both are mis sing, but the carter and porter each profess to be entirely ignorant of the manner in which they were stolen. The Gentlemen of "the Sock and .Buskin" have ever been and should always be, the subjects of legitimate and liberal criticism. They " hold the mirror up to nature," anti the por-, traits they exhibit should be faithful, and should be just. As all the performances of the drama are objects of deep interest its admirers, those who assume to personify it, authorise the strictures and judicious continents of all who claim to under stand the works of the author they exhibit. • But, while the right to criticise is thus admitted, and its pro per exercise is acknowledged to be the best protection'bf the stege, from invasion by pretenders, and the surest guard of tit morak of the drama ; it is denied that beyond the bounda riei of fair and liberal remaril, a dramatic performer is to be made the object of attack; or that his " vocation" gives any , other right to assail him, in its honourable exercise, than is at forded by any other profession or occupation in a liberal and polished society. The feelings, rand the rights to protection and respect, of any one; who has devoted his talents to the stage, are the same as those of any other individual of equal education and at taimnents ; and if he is wantonly and maliciously aspersed if an attempt is made to attack bins under cover of the ban ners of criticism—when other anti base purposes. are in view, or the indulgence of malignant envy and motive, the tribu nals of correctional justice, are, and ought ever to be free and open to him. These remarks have been induced by the circumstance of Mr. Mathews, who is now in our city, having recently appealed to a Court of Justice against a Boston Editor, for reparation far what he has deemed a malicious attack on his integrity • and reputation, and a false and perverted representation of the cha racter of his dramatic exhibitions— " You take from me my life " When you do take the means by which•l and thus, it is in the power of the Editor of any paper to bring into the condeirmation and reproach"of the good and virtuous, by calumny and misrepresentation, the dramatic efforts of Mr. Mathews; he must, in the language of truth, exclaim, " Othello's accupation's.gone." As the publication which induced Mr. Mathews to institute a suit against the Editor of the Cattily is not known here; and the more, because Mr. Buckingham has endeavoured to make his cause, that of " the Press," throughout our country,, the public are entitled to an accurate statement of thee. • It is not unkown among . us, that the seats in the boxes of the Boston Theatre were, during Mr. Mathew's engagement, and in accordance with a practice adopted when Mr. Kean was in that city, sold at public auction, and it should be nntioncd that the sum of 2000 dollars beyond the established price of the box tickets was raised from these sales. To one half of this sum Mr. Mathews was entitled by sthe terms of his engage nient, and 1200 dollars was faithfully paid over to him by the Boston Managers. The engagement of Mr. Mathews with the Managers of the Theatre was completed to their entire satisfaction, and to that of a unanimous public; and the terms of that engagemet did not, in any wise, forbid an exhibition of his justly popular talents, before the public after its conclusion. No such construction or interpretation of - his agreement was claimed by the Managers, nor was the language in which his arrangement or its ter mination was announced in the papers such as authorised that expectation. Very many respectable persons, whose stations and iyboae pursuits did not permit their visiting the 'theatre ; and some of whom had sought and cherished an intimacy and friendship with Mr. Mathews, as a companion and a Gentleman, intimat ed their earnest wishes, that he would afford to them tin op_ . portunity to be present at some of his performances at a public I room. Both willing and desirous from sentiments of gratitude, for their hospitalities and kindness, to comply with those wishes, as well as to contribute to a charity, to which his aid had been invited, he determined to announce that he would be " At flame" at . Boylston 1101, on a particular evening, and one not appropriated far dramatic performances at the theatre. To this measure, thus intended, rind - the emoluments of which were to be appropriated to " the British Charitable Society," the Managers of the theatre made no objections which were known to Mr. Mathews ; and a great number of the most re spectable members of society in Boston and its vicinity were about to accept the invitation of Mr. Mathews, when on the day appointed for the exhibition the following article appeared in the Galaxy: After publishing the Address of Mr. Mathews, offered at the close of his 'engagement with the Boston Managers, the Editor proceeds : " After all' this excess Of grateful feeling, and the positive assurances that his benefit would be the last night of his public appearance in Boston, it was to have been hoped that Mr. Mathews would have left the city without forfeiting the good opinion of his friends, and without committing any act of gross anti unpardonable injustice to time people of his profession. But it seems, that, to gratify certain ladies and gentlemen, who from various causes have been prevented from visiting the theatre." Mr. Mathews is to be At Home' this evening, at Boylston Hall. Mr. Mathews made a good bargain with the managers of the theatre. He must have known that his visit to this place injured their business before he came, as well as after his departure. Ile has repeatedly assured them that Wed nesday evening was the last time that he could possibly appear in public, and on the faith of t these assurances the managers assured the public, that it was the last opportunity they could have of witnessing his entertainment. But certain ladies and gentlemen could not visit the theatre, to see him. Why could they not? Because they would not. They will not give even their minim:atter to support a theatre and a stationary corn.. pany of players, but they will encourage by their countenance and money an itinerant mimic, who offers his instructive and chaste imitations in any other place. They will not go to the theatre to see a tragedy of Shakspeare or a comedy of Sheri dan, but they are extremely anxious to get into Boylston Hall, to sec Mr. Mathews imitate a sea-sick rustic, or a drunken coachman, and to hear him retail the old stale 'jokes 'of Jo. Miller, arid tell the delicate adventures of Mr. Rumpfoozle and Mrs. Ninicompipe ! " We hope that some obliging correspondent will favoUr us with the names of the ladies and gentlemen who are most for ward in patronizing this entertainment, which can be viewed in no other light than as a premeditated act of injustice to the Managers of the Theatre, and an insult to the public generally. If we hear of any of our Learned Professors, aageludges, wise Legislators or pious Clergymen being present, we Shall.not fail to make report thereof to the public, and endeavoitr to hold up to the admiration if not to the imitation of our readers, the example of those fastidious ladies and gent/men, whose delicate stomachs cannot digest a play, but can gorge their cormorant appetites on the vulgarity and smut, which have been scouted from the' age as stale and disgusting excrescences." " On further reflection, we think Mr. Mathews not so very much to blame. His audience this evening will supply him with abundant materials wherewithal to furnish a new en. tertainment when he is next At Home,' on the other side of the Atlantic." It would be a violation of the respect due to the understand ings of those for whose perusal this paper is intended, to enter Into an argument to chew, that therm nothing ofjust or liberal criticism, nothing of generous or proper comment; nothing of fair impartial observation, in the article, which has been faith. fully copied. It charges Mr. Mathews with having practised afraud on the public, and upon the Managers of the Bostott Theatre, by re presenting his performances at tie Theatre as the last time he could possibly , appear before the Boston public. But the Editor was not satisfied with this. He proceeded to hold up the exhibitions of. Mr. Mathews to the censures and condetrination of the moralist; he represents them as "Amish. ing the means ojj gorging .cormorant appetites with vulgarity and smut, which • have been scouted from tht stage, as stale and disgusting excrescences ;", thus exposing to a criminal prase cution the object of his slanders, and then he goes on and threatens to ► make report' to the public of those who should because known to him to have been visitors of the performances. The nature of this attack can better be known by its effects, than by an examination of the particular language in which it was made. Numbers of the citizens of Boston, who intended to visit Mr. Mathews in the evening were deterred by it front ammplishing their design. The father hesitated. to attend himself, or to permit his children to view an exhibition repre -seated to be immoral anti shannAl in its nature, and in its character : and many a virtuous citizen refused to countenance an entertainment, thus openly denounced, and others who did nat desire to have their nausea Iteld up to public notice, refused to be iimoug the auditors of air. Mathews. Titus the purpose SPRING ASSIZES, KINGSTON, TIMSDAY, APRIL 3. BUUCIIETT V. BRISTOW. This was an action for an assault. It appeared from the statement of Mr. NOLAN ' who opened the cas e , that the plain tiff; who is a farmer, and the defendant, Who is a butcher, are both inhabitants of the parish of Sheerham. During the time that the plaintiff was attending divine service at his pariah church on Christmas-day, a brother of the defendant, along with several other idle boys, went to the plaintiff's house, and after creating a considerable riot before it, concluded their sports by breaking tit windows. The plaintiff,' not altogether ad miring this mode of treatm en t, applied to the Magistrates for redress ; and the conseqnence of this application was, that the brother of the defendant was sentenced to pay aline, and to be 'imprisoned till that fine was paid. Tram 'this circumstance it was supposed that the malice had arisen, which had induced the defendant to commit that assault upon the plaintiff which led to the present action. On the 27th of December last, the defendant went to the plaintiff's house, and, after telling him that his father was very Much vexed by the proceedings which had been taken against his brother, proceeded to coni plain of the conduct of a maid-servant of the plaintiff. The plaintiff' said he would call the servant to answer for herself. fhe dZfendant said that it was quite unnecessary to do so, and began to be very abusive. The plaintiff then desired the defendant to leave his house; the defendant refitted, and ia consequence the plaintiff gave hiM two or three gentle pushes. The defendant then left the house, and the plaintiff wishing to see hint fairly off his premises, accompanied hits through a meadow, which was in front of it. Whilst they were crossing the field, the defendant turned round - on the plaintiff, Ailed, to light him, and without any further notice hit him a blow ore the right temple and brought him to the ground. Whilst the plaintiff was tn this :prostrate condition, the defendant struck him violently about the body, and continued to do so till one of the plaintiff's servants came up, who heard the defendant say, ".Now I will go, if you will let me.' Under these cir cumstances, the plaintiff came before a Jury of his country to demand of them, not extravagant , damages, but such serious damages as would prevent the defendant from recurring to such acts of violence in future. Sarah Ensor, servant to the plaintiff, deposed that on the 27th of December last, the defendant, or the butcher, as she al ways called him, called on her master between three and four &clock in the afternoon i • that she heard them conversing very bluffly, though she could not tell ghat they said ; that she afterwards heard her master tell the defendant to quit his pre.: mites, and on his refusal gave him first one,. and then another gentle shove ; that she then saw both panics go into the mea dow ; that when there the butcher challenged her master to fight, and attempted to take off his coat ; that her m a st e r sa id, " I don't want your coat off, I want you out of my premises ;" that the butcher then stretch her master over the eye, and that she being frightened, ran to a man servant who was thrashing in the barn, to call upon him to assist her m as t er that the butcher had lately offered her first one guinea, and after., wards two guineas, if she would not appear as en evidence against him. On her cross-examination, she said that she never had heard of her master sending any boys to prison for killing sparrows—that she never heard the plaintiff say to the de fendatit—`!,Th--n you and your father ton ;" that the defendant did go against the wall after one of the gentle :shoves that her master gave him, but she could not tell whether it was in con sequence of it ; and that she never had said to any body that her muster hail regretted that he had not knocked the butcher's head off. Being desired to point out the parties ro the action, she pointed out two men, one in stature about five feet ten ; the other about four feet ten ; each with a bulk proportional to his height: Great laughter was elicited in Court when she pointed out the lesser man as the person who had committed the assault. Thomas Mercer deposed, that being called upon to run anti prevent the butcher from killing his matter, lie ran to the place where the squabble was. going on. On arriving there he found his master defending himself against a blow of the butcher ; shortly after his master fell, and the botcher did all he could to keep him down. Whilst on the ground, the butcher repeatedly. said, " Now, I'll.go, if you will let me." Mr. Sergeant TADDY, for the defendant, contended that it must be quite clear froth the evidence of the other aide, that his client had been unwillingly engaged in this contest. Indeed, it was not likely that &man of the demunitive size of his client would ever attack such, a giant as the prosecutor was relatively to him. Even if they were of opinion that his client bad been the aggressor, he thought that, under the circumstances which had been proved in evidence, one farthing damages would fully meet the justice of the case. The CurErlialtoN then slimmed up the evidence, and the Ault immediately returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages. One shilling. -- Je Hooper and Charles Bonnick, yoting men of respect. able appearance, were indicted for assaulting - Robert Johnson 6n the King'S highway, in the parish of St. Olave, Southwark, and taking from his person a watch and seals, and tis. in money. There were six other indictments against the same prisoners for dillbrent offences of the same nature; On two charges they were acquitted ;• to lone they pleaded guilty; and on another Bonnick was convicted, and _Hooper acquitted. The prisoner Hooper was. sentenced to seven years transportation : the other prisoner received sentence of death. 3IIJI,I,INGAIt ASSIZES, ISIARcu 14.
