' 1 - HJ•tlis4tilE Irury•tas;e. LAST night Captain FEATiONi who made s.id a successful debut in Richard the Third last week, repeated that charatler before a very crowded and genteel audience. His representation lost night fully confirmed the favourable impression which his talents made upon us, and justified the report which we made of his first essay. He is perfedly original in his conception and. deli neation. of the diarader ; and we must repeat our opinion, that he gives it better, upon the, whole, than any Afton we have seen since,:the days of OARIOCK. He is easy, natural, spirited, and various. His fire.and energy indeed in the two last Ads are admirable. We might find. faidt with an emphasis now and then, but where there is so much to praise in the higher.requisites for the charader, we • should deem it unjust to carp at trifles.— We.are decidedly of opinion, that if Capt. FEARON means. to pursue the profession of the Stage, be will become one of its greatest ornaments. RAYMOND was the substitute for poor RABAT. MORE, in Buelinghant.- , .,The other Charaaera were supported as before. Covent-Garden. Mr. CAlttts, who made his first appearance'a few nillts ago in the charatler of Othello, resumed that chariner last night at this Theatre, and with 'much better • success than on the former occasion. He delivered the text in a Mariner 'that •proved be- un., derstood it critically, yet his acing was marked by strong feeling.: His figure is striking, and well adapted to parts of the heroic kind. . His gesture was more simple than on his first appearance, and seemed to be more the effect of passion than of. study ; yet it was by no means wanting in grace. It was,. however, the unaffected grace of a Soldier, who had " used his dearest ;taint) in the tented field." His voice is powerful, and capable of 'va riety of tones, though not very musical. . When we consider the difficulty attending such a part as Othello, and that this Candidate really never ventured upon theatrical boards before lie appeared at this Theatre, we cannot but view his perturniance as an effort of very promising ability, Mr.,CARL es ,is a Gentleman and a Scholar, and.,sinee he has de voted himself to the Stage, we doubt not that' the Public will receive him with eneotyagirog kindness, He is, we understand, a Pupil; of the veteran HULL, 'whose good sense and experience qualify him for the office of a theatrical Preceptor. Mr. CARLIS received great api.lause, which was evidently not the result of private friendship, but of general approbation. The House was numerously attended.

Plaintiff' in the Cause, wilt? only claims 15,0001. has security,,for 6o,0001„.. THiLLUSSON V. Bt Mr. Ettstartit moved for a Rule to shew cause why there slOuld not be a net I'cittt in, this Case, upon the ground that' the Verdure was a conclusion not warranted by the Fads. The Cause' was tried before his Lordship at Guildhall 'the 'last Sittings,' and by twelVe very respeaable 'Merchants; :by, whom, however, Mr. &OKI riF said, he had not - the' good fortune to be well understood,. as to the point on which he rested his defence. The ,Edon was 'l upon a i'oliCy of Insurance on the Ship'Malabar, on a voyage from the . Lie Of France or Bourbon; 'to her Port of discharge, which' waS'Tonion'. She WaS lost, he said, by chusing to be lost, Ault was to say; by going toCadiL pending thtt''' . Wai,between France 811(1 Spain ; and the single question in The cause was, Whether this Wai or was not a deviatioo ? He! eon. tended, on the part of the Under-Writers . , thar . this was ,:t deyiation,.and which excused the Under writers frOm the loss that battened,' there being no leave in . the POlicy (Or the VesSel to' touch at this plaCe; The excuse forit Vas, that the Captain did not, know that there was a War between Prance and Spiin .at the time he entered' this Port, and that heWas Col . :finned in thinking - these two Powers .. were at peace, because, when he tame In sight of some. Spanish ,Ships of War, he VOisted French co lours, and they sheered off';' thatlie had heard a .. rumour that Great Britain, at this time, was not;", indecd'at Wa:r with 'France, but .. .vas tricking pre-' Oration for. Wu, and 'tlierel6it he altered' the track he was pursuing, and lint :into'' Cadiz, in Or.: der to . avoid the . cl'iaoce 'of beitCg_ expOied to the English - CruiierS. Now, Mr.:Ertsx 114 E sai►j, this was a species of speculatic.n, in, 'w-ldch the Master of the Vessel had no right to indhige. He did* not blame him for supposing, from the - condod of the • Spanish Ships of War, that 'Spain was not at War with France ; but he contended,'lll - at the ship' had - no right to go out of its link, on the' rumour that- Great Britain 'seas arming and preparing for War , against France, and that, therefori, this was viation, which, of course, exonCtated the Under- • writcrs. His Lordship, at the ttial, laid down the Rule to the Jur . ) , with perfect accuracy. Leaving the Matter of . fac`t to them, his Lordship told them the principle of Law which should guide :the cause, namely, " That going ()tit of the track of the voy age must be from a necessity thar was urgent; and in order to avoid perils and dangers that were really impending." He maintained, that Great Britain not being at War, but 'only preparing for .War with France, could not be considered as a di tett iminediate' urging peril, or impending danger, bat a mere' specn, Litton of the Master of the Vessel, the which to en courage would'be highly dangerous ; arid therefore he contended ,that this was a deviation in the voy age, which exonerated the Under-writers, and that therefore the Verdict ought to have, been lot the Detendant. Rule to shew cause granted. RAP. t Mr. GARROW move d tOr a rim of Habeas Cor. - pus to be direeled to the Keeper of the gaol of the Isle of Ely, commanding him to bring op - the body of ). Nichols to be bailed. The commitment on which he was , now in custody, was for a Rape. He moved this on abundant evidence for the purpose, t art of whieb was that which, he admitted, would not be a gr,und of defence at the trial, that the Lady was of easy virtue, and that the DclCndant himself swore to the entire tion.retistance of the Lady—not only that she did not resist what took place between her and the Defendant, but that she adu,dly laid a trap for the purpose of bringing him into, that situation, and to &the Aly act which she was now pleased to call a Rape. The Affidavits of other persons stated, that she had been seen in a si tuation, which was' not' decent to describe, with this 'very Defendant, both before and since the time she charged the Rave to have been committed. To this the Magistrates by whom the Defendant was committed, added, in an Affidavit, that from the circumstances disclosed before tivnn upon this alibied, they should have thought it their 'duty to have admitted this Defendant to bail, had They possessed that power. Nor was this all, for this accuser had sworn revenge op6o Abe Dek i hh o r, anti said that ,she would burn down his house; that before the Defendant came to her on the occasion of the supposed Rape, she said she knew he would pull her about, &c. and then she called it a Rape. The Court said, that there muse acconipansy this Habeas - Corpus, a Writ of Certiorari to bring , up the proceedings before the Justices,'to whom notice of this Rule was to be given, as well, as to the Pro. secutrix ; upon which the Motion was granted. Mr. REIDBR moved for an Information in the nature of a QllO Warravto, calling on Richard Hard. 1... y to chew by what authority he claimed to be a Freem►n of the Borough of East Retford, on the ground that he was admitted in the same manner as several others who had been ousted for want of a good Title..—Rule to slim cause, Several other.
