If step should come under your notice, you will give them due consideration. It has been said that it is hard to press on the petty shop-keeper, while the author is allowed to go unpunished ; hut, Gen tlemen, this is the only way they can be stopped. This is the channel through which they- are disse- Initiated to the poor and unitiformed. You will therlore, not take that circtonst,ince at all into consideration, nor suffer yourselve,s to be swayed by a false humanity; these, be assured, are the channels by which sedition is spread amongst the C ommunity. Neither permit yourselves to be Knided -by any political bias which too many of Ika are apt to feel. I do not know th3t any of puhlic actions I have alluded to will come befor e you, but should it he so, you will, Gentle- It leni I feel certain, discharge your duty con leientio,,sly and impartially."

Ditt.Tß7-LAN!. - A new Musical Drama, under Ihe tide of The Fisherman's. flat, was last night brought forward at this Theatre. CHARACTERS. osano... Mr. HAmtutnt. Durazeo... Mr. PENLLY. Ste, Kano.:. MuNouN. Belthazar DowToN. Nicolino Crier... Mr. Mut-lEs. Countess of Modena .. Mrs. WEST. Leah Martha FABLE. The Scene lies in Italy.—The Countess of Modena k the object of affection to Rosati() and Durazzo, who were pre viously friends, hut becoming rivals, have agreed to der.ide their pretensions by the sword. When upon the point of joining in combat, the Countess appears, and they mutually consent to yield their claim to her choice, solemnly swearing to submit to her decision. The election is made in far our of Rosana, but Durazzo secretly vows to interrupt the mil, tials, and to carry off the Lady by force. For this purpose he engages some sailors to seize her, who succeed in carrying her on board a vessel. Nicolino, a fisherman, hariug taken a diamond necklace in his net, sells it to Balthazar, an old roguish Jew, who is enamoured of Martha. the sister of Ni colino. A large reward being offered far the discos ery of the Countess, describing; her dress and a diamond necklace which she wore, the Jew, for the sake of the reward, informs against Nicoll:1o, who protests Iris innocence, but is condemned to die, if in the course of the day he does not bring some tid ings of the Lady, in which he ultimately succeeds. The Ma gistrate, however, is smitten also by the beauty of Martha, who conies to sue for her brother, and promises to obtain his pardon, upon the terms usually demanded upon such occasions. Some ludicrous scenes take place in consequence of this ar rangement, and, by the Jew and Justice exchanging clothes, coming to the appointment-with Martha nearly at the same time, and, according to the established stage custom, being secreted in separate cl o sets, &e. Rosalie, having assem bled a strong force of fishermen, attacks the castle of Du razzo, to which the tatter bad •eouveyed the. Countess, in Cull. , sequence of his vessel being burnt in a storm, encounters and overcomes his rival, sets fire te his palace, and finally Jeco vers his fair prize. This dramatic sketch, the work of the late Mr. Toßtr4, was probably written by the Author chiefly with the view of affording scope for a va riety of theatrical talents, re'quisite for the serious and comic parts of the double plot which it con tains. If this were the view of the Author, be has succeeded better than if he had more rigo rously attended to critical rules in the coin position of his drama. In that case brilliancy of dialogue would have been in some measure thrown away, where the illustration of character and deVe lopement of fable were principally required. The Plot contains as march of the probable as can he expected on the stage, and particularly when the scene is laid in aloreign Country, and its laws and customs are consequently not familiar to the audience, who therefore more easily give credit to the passing ev; , nts.. The serious part of this drama is pathetic and interesting, and found proper re presentatives in Pet•o-sY acid HAMBLIN, but par ticularly in Mrs. WEST, who performed her part with her usual feeling and affecting sim plicity. The comic parts were most ably supported by MUNDEN, DOWTobI, HARLEY, and Miss KELLY. Miss CAREW, by her vocal powers and her playfulness, as the pretended Fairy, was also no inconsiderable prop to tic Piece. That something more might have been• expected from the Author of The Honey iWoon, and The Curfew, must be admitted., and perhaps the disappointment of that expectation might have excised some opposition to the piece, which Otherwise would probably have passed off with unabated success. However, there so much va riety in the incidents, alternately terrific and sportive,. and the piece is so admirably supported by the Performers, that it will probably gain upon the Public, and prove attractive. The opposi tion was rrifling compared with the general favour which attended the representation. The Proltigne was delivered with impressive energy by Mr. Pont, and the Epilogue, a Dialogue, written by JAMES SMITH, Esq. one of the Gentlemen to whom tine Public is indebted for REJECTED AD DRESSES, and HoaAca IN LONDON, was playfully given by Mr. ELLISTON, Mrs. URGER, and Mrs. EDWIN. It turned upon tire funning of the Theatre, the different degrees of Auditors, the success which has hitherto attended the Theatre, and some pointed temporary allusions, and was much applauded. • PROLOGUE. WRITTEN BY JOIIN TAYLOR, CSQ. SPOKEN BY MR. POPE. Though living Merit well may Critics dread-, Ytt sure their candour will proteLt the dead, And Envy's self permit the flow'r to bloom That only sheds its fragrance on the tomb. Such is the flow'r that we transplant to-night, Nor need we fear from You a sodden blight From You, who still impart, with sbelrring care, The fost'ring sunshine, and the balmy air. 'Tis Yours to mobs the bud with vigour shout, To spread the foliage, and to fix the root. Arid hence our Play, whate'er its worth may be, Whate'er its fate, may urge one sofening plea— The Bard has long Lien deaf to praise and blame, His kindred only can enjoy his fame : That Bard whose emulative hopes could soar, To write as British Poets wrote of yore, And trace the steps of those gigantic men, The mighty masters of the scenic pen, FLETCHER and MASSINGER, and RARE OLD BEN. JJJ Here where the rival Muses wont to reign, As if OLD DRURY were their own damain, Here, then, let Genius from the grave arise, To claim new laurels, as his rightful prize. The scenes we now produce from Tonnst came, Whose former works must ratify his claim. Guard, then, the Relique : to his mem'ry chew That well-earn'd praise he did not live to linow : In Fame's proud temple place the votive play— His Honey Moon shall guide you on the way. LARGE TYPEs.—It is said that some new thea trical types have been cast, of magnitude sufficient to conform to the provision forced upon Mr. KEAN by the late Managers of Drury-Lane Thea tre, of having his natne in large letters on the- Play- bills. Au Amateur Performance is to take place at Canterbury tor a charitable purpose ; a n d M rs. BUNN, of Covent-Garden Theatre, liberally con tributes her efforts on the occasion. Miss O'NEILL has, it seems, raised a fortune by her Summer trip, and has not yet gathered in the harvest. Her benefit at Manchester only is said to have produced a clear 3501. P 0 E T It y.

Mr. EDITOR—Ia peru%ing The Gentleman's ilingazine for 1784, my attention was arrested by the analogy of a case there recorded, to that of the unfortunate MIZAGEIER who fired from the house in which be lived upon the mob, which I think worth communicating to your Readers, I am Sir, Your obedient humble servant, Oct. 20, 1819. R. 73. At the Michaelmas Session for the year 1784, Joseph Ridout was tried for the murder of Moses Lazarus, a boy of 13 years of age, whom he killed on the 7th Oct. by firing a carbine among the people who surrounded his House. A number of witnesys, some JeWs, some Christians, were brought to prove, what the prisoner did not deny, that he was the person who fired the carbine by which the boy was killed. Of all the witnesses for the Crown, two only proved any thing that could affect the prisoner's line ; one of them swore, that speaking of the 'approaching festival, when the Jews were to celeht ate the promulgation of their Law, he had threatened, that if they proceeded as they usually had done on the like occasion, 'hp assemble riotously to throw serpents and crackers', to the great annoyance of their neighbours, stead of applying to the Civil Magistrate, he had fire-arms in his house, and would give the 314 s the contents of them. The ether ‘‘ittiess swore to the same effect ; but both bring suspicious characters, little credit was given to their evi dence. The prisoner in his defence, proved that having observed the Jews to assemble as usual on the 7th instant, and that men, not boys, began to throw serpents, squibs, awl clackers, he applied to the Civil Magistrate ; that he had assisted the con stable of the parish in the execution of t,is duty ; that he had bees) thrown in the kernel ; that se vend men got about him, while otners were drag ging him along the kennel by the legs ; that it was with difficulty he escaped ftot» them with fife; and that they followed him with groa,s and hisses to his house, ts Lich they forciti!:: e;tilca vowed to enter, thleatenitig at the same time to put him to death ; that he was grievously hurt and wounded ; and that likt called to them in. vain to disperse. These facts were all fuly proved. Is was the opinion of Lord LouutiaoßouGH, who tried the pt isoner, " That if a person assaulted, finds himself in a " situation in which fr man of firmness would " have reasonable cause to apprehend the de " str , ction of his property, or'the loss of his life, " and under that apprehension, slays the AggreS" " sor, the Law will not say that in killit., hint " he had committed either murder or man " slaughter, but that he had killed him in his own ‘, defence." I-Inving thus explained the Law, his Lordship left it to the decision of the Jury, who immedi bitty acquitted him, and he was iustantly bet at liberty. SHIP NEWS.
