At present, however, we shall not attempt to draw any general character of the publication, further than to say, that it is written in ' that desultory and entertaining style which mixes much information with light and amusing read ing. The extract to which we shall now confine ourselves, affords a fair specimen of this, and may, we think, be appropriately introduced with 'refer ence to the subject which led us to it in our last number. The*Adulteries of our times are unhappily too common to meet with the abhorrence due to crime, too high to be repressed bycontetupt,and too fashionable to be shamed by ridicule. The pulpit denoitnc6 them in vain ; the more" Myles sive Stage recommends them, in the penitence, and tears, and returning felicity of its Mrs. Hollers._ What remedy is. there then to - be found for this growing evil It is beyond the Divine—it defies the satirist—it barters with time -Lawyer, giv- Jug and receiving rights and reputation. in all the to.rms under which it may be presented to our detestation, the most detestable is that which it 'ass'umes in the painting of the advocate hired to `defend it in a Court of Justice, or, in the phrase more -agreeable to the profession, feed to plead in mitigation of damages. How shocking to the sense of mankind, (not to speak of their Vir(tie), to bear 'the naive of,Love prostituted as an apo logy for all but incest, and the most frivolouS ex- • cties otiereilin justification of the deepest guilt— , of' the desertion of numerous children by their abandoned mothers ; of the violation of the marriage-bed by the dearest friends and .the nearest relatives ; of the most unrestrained in dulgence in the grossest sensuality and lust, heed less of human wretchedness, and fearless of Di vine vengeance. But this is a subject too painful to pursue further—if the Ordinances of God and the Laws of Man fail to deter from the vice, 'a humble labourer in a diurnal publication must not hope to do more than put on record a fruitless expression oil sorrow for titese examples of de pravity 50 degrading to humatinaturc. • But to return to and conclude wiih Mr. TowNs- END leaving it to our Itt'adCrS to apply the les son, and imagine whethei British Ladies who dis grace their rank merit .the fate of these high blooded Dames of Spain, we extract for -their peruSal the Author's account of an Institution pe culiar, we believe, to Barcelona : . " There is one house of correction, which is too rrtuarkable to be passed over in silence. It enibraces two objects ; the. first is the reforma tion of prostitutes and female thieves ; the se , Cowl,' the correction' of women who fail in their obligation to their husbands, and of those who either neglect or disgrace their families. The house for these purposes being divided into dis tinct portions, without any commtmication be tween theta, the one is called real casa de galera, and the other real cos . ade arreccion. For each of those, who are shut up in the former, the King allotvs seven deniers to purchase eighteen ounces of bread, and nine deniers, which is nearly one penny sterling, to procure meat. The tund for this arises from fines; .but to aid this fund, the women are obliged to work as long as they can see. By their labour they earn about fire shit hugs a month, half of which-they have for them selves, whilst, of the other half, the Alcayde, or Governor, haS one-tenth, to stimulate his atten tion' to his':duty. These women, working thus from light to light, would earn much more, were it not for the multitude of holidays. The ladies, Who deserve more .severe correction than their husbands, fathers or other relatives .can properly adniinister, are confined by the magistrates, for a term proportioned to their offences, in this royal mansion, or easa real de'Correccion. The rela tion, at whose snit they are taken into custody, pays three sucldos, or four•pence halfpenny per gay, for their maintenance; and with this scanty provision they roust be contented. Here they are compelled to work, and the produce of their la hour is deposited for them, till the time of their 'confinement 'is expired. .The whole of the budd ing c o nt a i n five hundred women ; but, at present, there arc only one hundred and thirteen. • Among tlivse are .some Ladies of conditioß, who are supposed - to be visiting sonic distant friends. • Here they receive bodily correction, when it is judged necessary for their reformation. This es ' iablishmeut is. under the direction and govern ment of the regente de la audienci, assisted by the • E ,,, 0 senior ernninalJudges, w ith the Alcayde and i i i*aettrndants. ,One of .these Judges conducted me through the several apartments, and irom him li •• !

It may well be consigned to the closet, where it may work a moral ,effect, ut‘ithont out raging tl e mind by scenes of an,uffensive nature. The chief Characters were supported with consi 7 derable ability. MissO'NIELL gave due tenderness, and misery to Hohimia. Mr. C. KENIgLE infused more spirit into the part of Castalio than we have ever witnesseil in former representations of it, Mr. You tiG Was highly animated ire Chamont ; and, notwithstanding• the severity with which 411% CONWAY has been treated by some of the diurnal Critics, in our opinion_ his performance of Poly, dore was impressive and appropriate. In the quarrelling scene beta een Pulydore and Castalio, there was a consternation resulting from the con sciousness of the misery of which had been the cause that was striking and affecting. Ilappen ing in this scene to utter an interjection in a peen liar, though natural Manner, he excited a hugb in. a few unfeeling auditors, but the general approba tho which followed must have been a full atone ment to his feelings. ' We advise the Actress who taunts Ca4alio at the window, not to be quite so facetious again, as she threw a ridicule over the scene. The Tragedy was received throughout v, , ith great applause.

In the immediate viciuity .of , Vittoria, there was lately caught a panther, which. i 5 supposed to have escaped from on hoard some vessel on the sea -coast, as its existence, where it was found, cannot be accounted for ii a manner more pro bable. A French Paper states as a fact the following trait or aniinal sagacity:—" In the night of the 22d.Nov. there was a great fall of snow at Com mercy (Meuse), for the first time this Winter, and of such violence, that the ground was covered to idcpthofeight or ten inches. When the Rus sian dragoons stationed' there were taking their horses to water in the morning, these animals, surprised and delighted at a sight which, doubt less reminded them of their country, began to prance, neigh, and roll - themselves in the snow. A number escaped from the hands of their •con ductors, who had great difficulty in catching them again.? The French Midget is, it is said, to be proposed this week. Never had a Finance Minister a more difficult task to perform but there is one class of items to which we trust, resort will be had to lighten the heavy burthens of the State—that class, ‘vhielrhas ( - troll& on these burthens, viz.. the fortunes-of the traitorous adherents Of the Usurper, which haVe been acquired by revolutionarymeans.

Fresh claims were con stantly urged, which, in case of nun-compliance on our part; led to incursions and attacks on our borders, which it was next to impossible to parry, or punish,. without a larger force that] our Government, employed more seriously in the • West, could then well spare. They were there fore glad to cOiniiound with every now and diet' yielding a little,, Every fresh aggression, and every iiew dispute coded in the aggrandizement of the territory of the .Goorkhas ; and they thus acquired on this side of the hills, a very rich and fertile track, which they named the Ter race. But when the clouds in the Vest lid dis persed, and • left to our Government leisure to . enquire into the disputes in the East, and,a force ; 'to pia an end to them, according to their plea sure, every attack of the Goorkhas led to ,a dimi nution of what they had so artfully got into their possession : 'for they were unable to contend against ns in Mtc e plains with any chance ut sue cess. In the hopes of compromising the matter, .and retaining what they then held, about a year , before Lord Mintti retired, they' requested that mutual Commissioners , might be appointed, to : settle their differences. A Major accordingly went on, our part ; but our conditions. proposed by him, were so strict and 'peremptory, that they determined rather than comply with them, to . try die chance of war . ; trusting to their strong holds , to be a barrier against - our incursions, whilst they harassed us all thelengtii of our open and undefended frontier. On this, we first prociahned, war but it may be necessary to pren:ise, that, from their conceiving that they were forced. to arms by the harsh measures (as they thou g h t pro ! . pet to consider them) of Our Yakeel, Major Brad shaw, they had formally declared that they would put to death the Major, in. 'whatever manner - they could find means to do it, secret or (then. Thus the war commenced,. avid the Goovht,as began their ravages with great success.
