ON 'Wednesday night last, the long coach which conveys the passengers from the Mail Coach Hotel, Dawson.-street, to the Holyhead Packer, at the Pi geon-house boa, narrowly escaped being thrown over that ruinous nuisance which is permitted to .stand in the place, of ftingsend Bridge, some time since destroyed by a flood,-by which every person must have been dashed to ,pieces : their 'fears, however, were nut long subsided upon that escape, before (from the overloaded state of the coach roof, and the improper conduit of the driver) this machine was overturned upon the South We11...-Lord and Lady CONYNOHAM were in the coach, and some of their servants upon the roof, one of whom was unable to proceed from his hurt, and lies at present dangerously ill : Lady COHYI4O. HAM received some contusions id the head, and was obliged to proceed on foot, in the midst of rain, to the Pidgeon-house (the coach being too much injured to proceed), and Mr. le tourtoi, the Attorney, was severely wounded in the head and utherwise bruised. Master BITTY was to have performed doting the present week at Coventry, but the Bishop' of the Diocese signified to the Manager that if the Theatre were opened for dramatic Entertainments this .week, the Law would be put in force. The disappoint. ment is much greater to the people of Coventry than to the Manager, as the latter was to give such a high price fur the intended performances, as, con., tattering the size of the Theatre, afforded little hope of any profit to himself, though he thought it right to oblige his Patrons with a sight of the juvenile Ador. BRALIAM has published a very long and tedious defence °lbis own cnndun, in which he has.ohrown many illiberal refleftians upon KEMIILE. An his laboured vindication, however, is nullified by his vLdatitin of an established rule of the Theatre, viz.

P:IILLIK. • , ATr e the plevlings were opened on behalf of the Plaintiff:by Mr, WAR/tat? ) Mr. East tre addressed the Jury, an t i snit!, he Shotild pinstie the praCtice,, on the present occasion, he had Icing adopted, of stating briefly the circum. stances of the case, Iccompanied by a fe.w general observations. The Defendant had rendered it Unne cessary for him to go into the proof of the crime charged, which was .nothing les; thari.the violation of-,the wife of the Plaintiff. The Defendant had acknowledged theoffence, and had admitted judg. ment to go, by default ; the only question then for the jury to determine was, what was the compensation the Plaintiff ought .to receive for the dishonour of his bed, and fir the surrender of all his domestic enjoyments ? The Plaintiff was a Gentleman of considerzble fortune in the County of Warwick ; he married the daughter of Lord 'Dormer,' before she was of age, and with the con. currence of : thAt illustrious family, The ceremony was performed in the. year 1795. For eight, or nine years, or more, they lived in a state of un. interrupted happiness, and three children were born to them. The one was. a boy, who, to the anguish of his parents, died at Paris:; the other two were females, who, by the unhappy conduCt of the Defendant, were deprived of all the blessings of maternal love and atredion. The Defendant was '.the son of a rich Banker, and had the rank of Lieutenant. Colonel in the Goal& ; and what in. creases the horror of this, transaCtion, the families were allied, the Brother of the Defendant having married the Sister of the Plaintiff. This connexion naturally prodUced an intimacy betvveth the family of Mr. Knight and Colonel Fuller; the latter was admitted in all the confidence of friendship, and un. der such circumstances, suspicion seemed to he an insult to human nature. Mr. &MINE then entered into the distindion in reaped to damages, when a careless husband receives a stranger at the convivial board ; when a man, forgetful of the treasure he is appointed to guard, neglects the °Nat of his for. mrr attachment ; and endeavoured to she w, that in the present case, every circumstance 'tended to exhibit the caution of the husband, and the atrocity of the adulterer; adding, however, that he was per. nasally acquainted with the family of the Defend. ant, and, with the exception of the present in. stance, knew nothing in his conduit that was repre. hensible. The witnesses were then called. Dr. Parr said, he became acquainted with the Plaintiff soon after his marriage. The age of the Lady, at that time, was about eighteen or nineteen. He had been much at the house of Mr. Knight, and had frequently seen him at Lord Dormer's. He was a kind, indulgent, and attentive husband. He never heard the slightest imputation before on the Lady, and imagined her to be wholly incapable of such miscondua. Site had carriages and attendants at her command, and every thing suited to her qua. liry and station in life. On his cross.exarnina. lion by Mr. Serjeant VAtictiAtl s the Dotior said, that the principal opportunity he had of seeing the Plaintiff and his wife was in the country ; that he did not know preciselr the age of the Lady, and fie could not say, of his awn knowledge, al. though he firmly believed it, that the Plaintiff and his wife bad cohabited since clic birth of the last child, Edward F. Gould, Esq. knew the Plaintiff per. fe(tly well, and lived near him in the country. — The Plaintiff appeared ad affetitionate and tender husband, anti the Lady seemed to perform all the duties of a good wife. She was a beautiful and accomplished woman, and was the sister of the wife of the Witness. He had seen the Defend. ant once or twice. Colonel Fuller, he understood, was the son of an opulent Banker, and was a man of fortune. On his cross-examination he said, he had net seen the Plaintiff and hit wife much of late, sad in the years a Sot and t Soz the Witness was with his regiment in Scotland, and did not sec them at all. When he returned from Scotland, they ap. peated on' the same terms of affetlion, but as he did not spend his Winters in town, the Witness could not speak particularly to the condutt of Mr. Knight and his wife when they visited London. The evidence being closed on the part of the Plaintiff— Mr. Serjeant .VAUGHANT said, that he must ac. knowledge he ruse under some embarrassment, not so much from the nature of the case, as from the ts. lents and eloquence he had to oppose with his feeble abilities. He did not disapprove of any of the ge. neral principles expressed with so much animation by his Learned Friend ; lie admitted th e sacre d ness o f marriage ; he allowed that it was the foundation of the happiness of society, and he was not disposed even to apologist, much less to attempt to vindicate, where the infringement of the rights of a virtuous anti prudent husband had been committed. 'lwo things would particularly attraet the attention of the Jury. t 2. What has the Plaintiff lost ? 2. What has been the conduCt of the Defendant in producing this loss ? He would admit, that when the husband ful. Ells all the duties of his station, when he is jealous of the Ironton of his wife, when he is anxiolts to pro. mote her happiness, the damages in such a case can. not be too large ; hot when a man negleCts these important duties, they cannot be too strtml. A few moments attention to the evidence would assist in exposing the fads of the case. Dr. Purr was the fast Witness ; lie was a Man undoubtedlyio the highest estittiation. He was a giant in literature; and if a question arose of any difficulty in polemical contro. vets'', on the construftion of an obscure passage in the sacred volume of out religion, on the exposition of the beauties of the classical and learned languages, there is no one who would not pay the greatest tie. ference to the authority of Dr. Parr ; but this pro. found scholar seems least of all fitted to be Witness in a case of Criminal Conversation; he might as soon almost be expected to be a party (a :emend smile), as to give testimony in such a cause. Every one knows his native good humour; Ise diffuses cheerfulness wherever he moves ; even a churlish husband must raise his brow, and what. ever domestic quarrels mCglit subsist between the Plaintiff and his wire, the presence of Dr. Parr would its eke placidity, and all the semblance of af. ~. retarrt.

Upon the whole of the case then, although , nominal oittnages would not be given, he trusted tne Jury wdold bee there were no circomstantes of v. gravation, and that in doing justice, they wou:d preserve that moderation by which British juiir3 were distinguished. ,Mr. SAyoa L the Linder-Shcriff, then summed up the evidence, and after the deliberation of about hall an hour, the Jury delivered a Verdia of--7oodi, Damages. F. Extra et of a Letter from Copenhagen, dated 30th March 18os: " Being pfesent at an Extraordinary General Court of Proprietors of the Dtnish East India Company, held on the s Bth of this tnanth here, wherein, amongst other sutjeas of importance, the Hon. CARSTEN ANKEIt, who is lately rtttirt',. ed to this Capital, gave an account of his Mis.. sion to England on Ilia:pail and as one of the Dire‘;'. tors of the Company, I cannot but confeas, that as an Englishman, I was highly gratified at one pail of his speech, which particularly applies to our Country, and the flattering manner in which he ea presses himself, both as ro it and his re.ception. The following extras I took down verbatim, with the view of transmitting it to you, and you ate therefore welcome to communicate it ainongit the circle of our friends accordingly :-- '" It now becomes my duty on this occasion to testify to the Proprietors how much I have reason to be satisfied witii the treatment and reception which, on behalf of the Danish East India Company, I experienced while in England, net alone from several Mernherl of the Government, rhit like wise from the Hon. Directors of the East India Comparty, and the chief persons in office at the head of this immense Establishment. Benevolence anti liberality will always be folind etm stitute the prominent features. •of tl►is inestiriuble char:le:ler, provided one overlooks those national ittiparee. tions of which other Nation!: have equally their share, without being able to boast of their civil virtue; and grwati attions. • " 1 was, comparatively speaking, an insignificant irtdiu vidual, and the oOjeCts of my mission courd nut be parti cularly welcome. The advantages which have been obtained are wholly on our side, and 1 had naming to offer, by way of Qutnpcma.. tion, in exchange. " When we equally consider the remarkable period at . . 4 ..hicit these different objeets welt to be 'proposed, examined, and carried into effect ; when War and Peace alierniiteiy oc cupied the attention of every man in office when ivearly whole Empire flew to arms, in defence of the.r Cotiiitry, during which the 411111C:13Z mas::. of current but:ine..l went use uninterruptedly, with a vigour and intricacy, the progress and name. of which the keenest observer will never ilav it in his power to conceive; wilco this is taken, witA tiality, into consideration, the tiolay 1 have met with is by no means surprising ; besides, none hate su*reti by thk lay but myself; my concerns at home have, riutMg my ab sence, been negleaed, and, of course, suff4ed consideraole Injury. " The Danish East-India Company did not stand in need of my interference to be favourably noticed in unmease aelive circle, wherein it is wise, expedient, prudilit, and nu portant, for every Mariti me P ower to h ave friends. Tins, however, I may venture, as a simple truth, to .leit, that at least my presence has not done the Danish Company any twin. " I have formed ties, I have acquired valuable friends, by means of which contusion:; I hope the Proprietors may, at a futurerlay, it occasionally requisite, derive considerable ben*. tit ; Willis should not be wanted, so much the better." A.c.Btc. We are sorry to .. find that w e i nserte d a . P aragraph in our Paper o f Friday list, contaioing much oils. information as to the isle of Mann. We understand the real matter of fit to be, that the Duke of ATHO IL did, in the year 1790, apply to ?Atha_ ment for the eppointment at Parliamentary Cow. missioners, for the purpose of investizating allega tions, made by the Duke, respecting the Isle of Man; allegations which went equally to embrace the interests of the Tile as those of his family, But that measure was withdrawn, not from the weight of objeflions made to it,• but because it was considered that the justice of the allegations he had made might be equally proved by Commission from Hts MAJESTY, and- the result being laid before Parliament, the precise objen and view of the Duke of.kruot.t. might be brought in a more matured shape before Parliament, The Report was made in 1792—n0t 3 Report, as erroneously stated, at lit. tie service to the Duke, bat most essential in a ll, principal points and bearings both to the interests and prosperity of the isle and the Duke. Great and weighty Public Concerns prevented the fruit of any measures, founded on the Report, until-1798, when a Bill, founded on part of it, was I:nought in and passed for three years, contributing, as far as it went, to the relief of the Isle—preveotiuu of Monopoly and Smuggling, arid to the 'Consequent increase of Revenue. That AEI was further lea. proved in 1801,--continued from that time fri on year to year, and now before Parliament as being fit to be rendered more permauent. Aed solar frosts its being true that the House of KEYS : and the ii., habitants oppose, we have reason to believe, that the measure will have the cordial cooperation of the great majority of both,and that the opposition, it any will be made, will be confined too few individuals. Putt= OFF IClt i HATTOU.GARCIRN.—Y ester. day Trephine Parker was charged with bigamy, intermarrying with Thomas Hamlin, in the par of St. George in the East, in the year 1799, anid John Kirwood, a cooler, in the parish church of Cripplegate, in ifioz, under the name of Hamlin, and also with John Lions. It appeared that this adventurous woman went to the East Indies with t labband some yeats pre. oleos to the marriages of the two former, where he died; she was fifteen months in a French prison ; after that she got acquai:ited with Lions at Table Bay, Cape of Go?d Hope, came with him to Eng., land, when they passed for man and wife; he bring a seafaring man went Afoul again, in the intrrval or which she married the two furnace men, end Lions, on his return again to ,Europe, married her at `Portsmouth, in .nly 180.1., • under the name of Ruphini Hamlin ; he very retaaantly gave evidence against her. • With reaped to Kirwocd, she said that aTte thought her Marriage with him was ..all, becao,e, as she said, he never was christened ; and with re. gird to Hatnlio, she elleCted to have no knowledge at all of him; lint the regiitcr.boolti at the two former marriages being produce 1, with cAtatetal evidence, she was fully committed fat ttid.
