first it was evident that it was impossible for him to escape from the awful sentence of the law, and the defence which he offered was intended to rescue his character , from unjust imputations, rather than from any hope that it led to a final •pardon. For the sake of his family and his friends, his name and conduct should now be suffered to sink into oblivion. Ills pu nishment cannot but operate as a warning, inas ►auch as it must convince those who are inclined to the same offence that, though so strong an in terest was excited, and such powerful intercession took place, in favour of the person who has just ~sgrered the penalty of the law, there can be no hope for pardon in a country like this, which is 10 eminently characterized by commercial in►- portance.

THE THEATRES. Dau ay-LANn.—The Opera of Dern-cischutz, which continues to attract, was followed last night by a Romance entitled 'Wed the Gheber, avowedly derived from Mr. Moontes Poem of Lalla Rookh. The new Piece, however, does not strictly follow the original. The Fable is comprised in the following sketch : Ilgfed the Giulia (Mr. Wallnck) loves the daughter of his determined foe, Al Hassan, the Arabian Prince (Mr. Archer). Hi ado (Mrs. liTest) is taken by one of the officers of Haled, and is sent back, unharmed, to her father. The persecuted followers of the Glicier are betrayed in the hiding-place by the traitor Feramnrz (Mr. Terry), whom the dramatist makes the preserver of Hinda, and the rival of /NM. The Ghelier then' under the name and disguise of the Prince of Circassia, gains admission into the palace of Al Hassan, where he is discovered and imprisoned. He subsequently makes his escape, joins his followers, and prepares to give battle to his foes. In the con flict that follows the traitor is slain ; and the lovers, of course, according to dramatic precedent, are united in marriage. The sudden accidental dropping of the curtain before the Piece actually terminated, leaves the catastrophe, however, a matter of inference rather than of fact. The Piece itself differs little in the story from the two which lately preceded it. It was, throughout, well acted, and the scenery and dresses were superb and beautiful. It it severely condemned by some of the Morning Criticsi'and the Managers are condemned for not ,reviving good old farces. The great fault is•the vast magnitude of the theatres,which are really too large for Ow regular drama. This magnitude has occasioned a degeneracy of public taste, and a necessity of bringing forward' splendour of .spec tacle .instead of representations of life and. na ture. Public morals have proportionably suf- feted, for the regular drama tended to excite good sentiments and diffuse refined manners. But Managers must submit to the evils which they have themselves created, and the Theatres therefore will never be so productive as in for- mer times, since so much expence must be lavished on she w, to suit Or vitiated taste of the day.— The piece of lust night was announced for repo. titian by Mr. WAl.l..scx, amidst a turbulence of opposition and assent, in which the latter had however certainly the predominance. METROPOLITAN SOCIETY - POR TILE OPPOSITION AND PROSECUTION or rn.tunu. LENT INSOLVENT DEnTOES. Yesterday evening the Members of the above Society held their Second Anniversary Meeting at the Albion Tavern, Al dersgate4treet— Mr. Sheriff Kiev,' Alderman, &c. in the Chair. The Worthy CHAIRMAN having been preventtsl, owing to' his important ditties in another place, from attending earlier, the dinner was not servedup until near seven o'clock, at which upwards of 00 merchants and tradesmen of the first respecta btlity sat down. Mr. W. C. Bousrumn, the Solicitor and Secretary to the Society, read the second Report of the proceedings connected therewith during the past year; which appeared extremely sa. tisfactory, not only on account of the augmentation of the numbers of the Society, but also on account of the success which had attended the exertions of the Committee during the past year in the detection and punishment of fraud, no less than twenty cases having been submitted fbr opposition. The Report then went on to detail the labours of the Committee relative to the periodical distribution of printed circulars, and their obvious utility ; as also the flourishing state of the Society's funds.— During the past year, the number of subscribers had been doubled, and amounted at present to upwards of 300. The health of the Chairman was proposed by Mr. THOMAS, and drank with loud applause. In returning thanks, the worthy Sitznirr observed, that the interests of the Society occupied a permanent station in his mind, and he hoped his future conduct would atone for his past ap parent remissness. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the healths of David Pollock and George Heath, Esqrs. the standing Counsel of the Society. Tlie health of the Committee and Stewards were next pro. ,posed, and drank with great applause. Mr. ConnouLD end another Gentleman saverally returned thanks. On proposing the health of the Solicitor and Secretery of the Society, and worthy Chairman observed, that it not only re quired able assistance to carry the law into operation, but it also was requisite that there should be an able Secretary to in vestigate the several cases which might be referred to the con sideration of tho Committee. Such an effective officer the So ciety had in the person of Mr. Bousfield. Alr. BOUSFIELD said, that the, very flattering manner in which the Worthy Chairman had done him the honour of proposing his health, and the company of drinking It, was most gratifying to his feelings. This evening must be pa tifying to every friend of the Society, and more especially to those few who had this day two years assisted in its for- , motion. Last year the number of members was 146, and it was rather a singular coincidence that this year there had been added the very same number, and this day the Society had received an accession of 27 new members.—(Applause).—lle was (lithe convinced, from what the Society had done , that It would do much, very much more, if properly supported. The worthy Gentleman went into a long detail of the views and operations of the Society ; and in conclusion proposed the health of four Gentlemen, most intimately connected with the due ad ministration of the law, he meant " The Commissioners of the Court for Insolvent Debtors." The CHAIRMAN then retired, when 31r. D. Poi.Locx took the Chair, and the festivity of the meeting was prolonged to a late hour. SONAR Thu.—The New Road over this stu pendous Hill is nearly completely by the indefa tigable exertions and public spirit of Mr.lloeca. From being nearly impassable, it will be en ex cellent trotting-road, and, in addition to giving every facility to the communication through Pe tersfield, between the Western and Midland Districts and the Sussex Coast, it will form one of the most beautiful and picturesque rides in the South of England. In addition to this great im provement in the approach to Petersfield from the North Western Districts, a New Turnpike Road is also intended to be made to that town from the city of Winchester. The expellee of carrying this measure into effect is estimated at 5,0001., and the work is to be under the super intendence of Mr. BLANDFORD, the Surveyor. Mr. KEAN played a round of characters at the Belfast theatre last week. Mr. LISTON appeared as Baillie Nicol Jarvie ini)ublin'lheatre on Thursday last. Wednesday last a numerous and respectable meeting was held in the Town-hall, Glasgow, the Loan PUO vorr in the chair, for the purpose of promoting a subscription to erect a monument to the memory of the late JAMES WATT, Esq. either in that city or its vicinity. In the course of tin hour the subscriptions amounted to upwards of IMO/. Now that the Monument has been resolved upon, we hope it will be such as will tie honour to the memory of Mr. NVATT, and also to Glasgow.---URdiliburgh Courant.)

PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 27.—The Amateur Performance of last evening was crowned with the most complete success: we do not remember ever to have seen our Theatre so brilliantly filled ; the pit, being converted into boxes, gave a certain coup d'czil to the spectacle, better imagined than described. The gentlemanly and firm step of Torrent confirmed us in our opi nion of his histrionic talent, in being able to support two cha racters, in play and farce, so decidedly opposite. There is no species of character so difficult to perform as !leerily, or the hum-drum English gentleman. This part was however per formed with becoming spirit. Sir Larry Mac Murragh not only looked the Irish baronet, but sustained it in manner highly honourable to his country. The gentleman who performed Barford volunteered, rather than this charitable theatric un dertaking should not take place; hut the SinnUlut of our latt performance should have appeared—such parts are evidently , his forte. We must sa that the Solomon Emery Gaudy of last even ing recalled the late forcibly to our remembrance.— Andrew Bang was admirably sustained. The versatile abili ties of the gentleman who maintained the opposite parts of Oldskirt, Ilogmorc, and Sir Jasper Wilding in the Farce, need no comment. The Thespian confidence of Henry is evi dently improved since his last appearance. We admire the humillity of the gentleman who performed Old Carridot, and Quildrive in the farce. such talents deserve a superior walk. Farce is at all times difficult of performance to Amateurs, as it requires the united talents of our best comedians; however, the Citizen appeared to give general satisfaction. The Ladies, who were front the Gosport Theatre, acquitted themselves with credit: the Fanny in the play, and the Maria in the farce, of Miss Woolfe, would have obtained her credit on metropolitan boards.--( Honipshire Telegraph.) • When Lord Ranelagh was Paymaster of the Forces, there was a very awkward defi ciency in his accounts. Some officious per son w hi s p er ed it t o the King that it was more than probable it was occasioned by the expensive building the Earl was then carrying on at Chet sea. The King told Lord Ranelagh what had been hinted. " Will your Majesty be so good," replied he, " as to tell the next that says so that that is impossible, because not a farthing of the money I am laying out there is yet paid." Letters from Tangiers of the '27111 ult, state, that the evening before, the Governor, in obedi ence, as he alleged, to orders received from his Government, had sent an armed force on board the Fortunate Sardinian vessel, then at anchor in that port, and taken possession of her. He at the same time diverted the acting Captain and the chief part of the crew who were on shore to be seized as prisoners of war, in consequence of w hi c h the Consul-General of his Majesty the King of Sardinia caused the Sardinian nag -staff to be taken down. The Moors seem at present t o h a ve but two-decked boat of about 30 tons burden each in the whole empire ; but later accounts from '1 'ell - that the Government are endeavour ing to p u rchase some vessels to a r m against the Sardinian trade, and filet they intend immediate ly to fit out a small felucca of about 3O tons for that purpose.

THE ADVANTAGE OF HAVING COUNSF.L.—An Act was passed in the fourth of his present Majesty, for punishing with transportation for 11 years the receivers of stolen goods before the principals have been convicted. The first person tried under this Act was a man named Danie l Griffiths. He was charged with having received a bank note to the amount of 109/. from a young woman named Stif Poll, well knowing that. it was stolen. Stiff Poll bad prigged it from one Thomas Miliinnon, but she was not to be found, and therefore Griffiths was put to the Bar by himself before the Recorder. A conviction took place, and he was transported for fourteen years, no objection having been made to the con viction by the Counsel for the prisoner. Stiff Poll having wished to accompany her friend, no longer thought proper to conceal herself., She •was soon after apprehended, tried, found Guilty, and disposed of in a similar manner.— At the latter end of last year, a man named Pemberton was tried nnder the same Act for receiving stolen pro. perty. The principal was not apprehended. Pemberton was convicted. Mr. BrOdrick, for the prisoner, objected that the decision under the Act of George the Fourth, for punishing receivers without convicting the principals, could not be sus tained. The point was reserved by Mr. Arabin, who tried the case, far the consideration of the twelve Judges, who decided in favour of the objection, and a pardon was imme. diatoly sent down to Pemberton. Mr. Baron Hullock, in his address to the Cfrand Jury at You', observed, that the Act was not available. Griffiths, of course, although certainly guilty of the offence with which he was charged, has been punished, con ; trary to law, and is entitled to pardon. We understand that the necessary instrument is to be transmitted to New South I Wales, in the vessel which carries the next batch of convicts, and the Act is to be repealed or amended next Session of Par. 'lament. The New Medical, Clerical, and General Life Assurance Society hag appeared under the power ful auspices of some of the most distinguished Members in each of those Profession q. As a per manent and useful establishment it already takes • its place among the most respectable Institutions of its kind, and •it has the merit of not being perverted into a mere money speculation of the day ; still as an investment it will probably be come highly beneficial to the Share-holders, as well as being greatly useful to the Insured, especially to the Members of the two Profes- I lions, towards which its benefits are particularly directed.—(See Advertisement.) PROVIDENTIAL Escarr..---Tram COUTIAGE,—OR Tues. day last, about four o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. White, Supervisor of Ilythe, in company with Mr. Haynes, Officer of Excise, of New Romney, were surveying the Dungeness Dis trict, and proceeding about a quarter of a mile to the westward of Dungeness Ligh House, on horseback; Mr. White on the full, and Mr. Haynes under the full, they were conversing to. gether without apprehension of danger,_ when Mr. ileYnes was suddenly struck on the side of the bead by a most tremendous sea, winch in an instant unhorsed him, and left him with the animal buffeting with boisterous element, but being at the mo. ment possessed of the presence of mind. Mr. H. immediately made every effort to gain the shore, which, after the greatest difficulty, he fortunately succeeded, but on looking round and seeing , his unfortunate companion struggling with the waves, he immediately plunged again into the breakers which were then running mountains liigh, to save his faithful beast, and succeeded in getting hold of the bridle, when after having both disappeared tor some seconds, they were thrown by the swell of a sea with violence on the shore, without sustaining any other injury than a most severe ducking. A cat belonging to a family in Green-street, Calton, took badly with a distemper possibly peculiar to the species, and on Wednesday last was so very ill, and so much spent, that it could hardly walk. Sonic sulphur and butter had . been procured for a dog in the same faroily that had taken the snifters. It was thought that passe' might be the better of a dose of it, which was accordingly administered._. She however died, or seemingly died, soon after, lay stretched on the floor. An old woman after lamenting the loss of her fa. vourite, about four o'clock in the evening threw her out on the top of a dunghill. Next morning the woman, on going to the dunghill, saw her lying stiff on the same spot, where she had been battered during the whole night with a cold and heavy rain. Sympathising for her favourite, and afraid that mischie vous boys might mangle her remains in the street,. she performed her last kind office by completely covering her ever with a basket full of warm dry ashes, which she had with her at the time, and considered the interment as com plete. To the utter astonishment, however, of the old woman, and the rest of the family, the cat about two o'clock entered the door, and came slowly in, almost blind, and completely covered with mud and ashes. It would appear that the warm ashes had restored animation, after the cat had lain on the dunghill for upwards of 20 hours. The animal is now getting fast round, and has become most yore cious_for meat,---(GJuagciry Chronick.)

Ross.—At this place on Thursday the mail and other coaches were prevented by the depth of water , from passing Wilton Bridge. Boats were busily employed all day in erecting the transit of passengers across the flood. A party of gentlemen went out in the afternoon to amuse themselves on the beautiful expance of water. Their vessel was of slight con. struction, and its bottom, striking upon some palling, was perforated to an alarming extent. The amateurs endeavoured, by means of pocket handkerchiefs, &C. to stop the leak :—the boat continued to fill, and the voyagers had but just time enough to reach a tree, into which they , • tlittihed; before their " slender bark" became In6apable of keeping them afloat. They were safely imported by a passing skiff, to the transport of themselves and friends. MIDDLESEX SESSIQNS.-(Tur DAY.) These Sessions commenced this day bPfore F.

POLICE REPOhTi.—About ten days ago 'two persons of the names of Cox and Carroll were charvl at the Bow-street Office, with having stolen a gold citaht from the shop of a watchmaker at Hammersmith, and the evidence being strong though entirely circumstantial, Sir R. nitwit , : committed them, observing, that although it might be doubtful whether they would he comic*, he should be taking upon himself the province of a Jury, if he did otherwise than send them for trial. The 'ficts of the case were mentioned in some of the newspapers, and; it was stated that a watch was found upon each of the prisonets. Some days ago an elderly man, who stated himself to be a watchmaker, residing at Acton, Middlesex, applied to Mr. Halls, after the business of the day was over, and stated, that on the same afternoon that the gold chain was said to have been stolen from the shop at Hammersmith, a lad, about Li or 16 years of . age (that is the age of Carroll), came into his shop, and, after looking at several articles, he went away without buying any thing. Soon after his departure ho missed a new silver watch, with chain and seals appended. He learned by inquiry that the lad was seen to join a man in a cart, who drove off towards London. Ile subsequently saw an account in the newspapers of the alleged robbery at Hammersmith, which appeared to have been committed under circumstances like his own. His object now in applying was to see Carroll, as he had little doubt but he should find him to be the stone who came into his shop.—Mr. naffs told him to go to •Newote, wher;; ha might be allowed to see the'prisoners ; and it* he recogni zed Catroll lie Magistrate sent Cousens, a patrol, with him to expedite the business, and the result was not only that Carroll as recd;;_ ' nised, but the watch, chain, and seals found upon the other prisoner, Cox, were identified as the sante stolen Irons the shop of the applicant, who lodged a detainer, and will of course in. diet both prisoners: We are iuformed that the Board of Customs have resolved to sift to the bottom the charges made against certain individuals possessing borough interest in this county, of selling places in the Customs, &c., and to prosecute such in dividuals as may be found guilty of such corrupt practices. If all connected with 'Cornish, boroughs, who have sold their influence with those enabled by their situations to (Minh) .pinces • under Government, should be prosecuted; the Crown Lawyers may anticipate a glorious harvest. --(West Briton.)
