The New Opposition Party may perhaps differ with Mr. PITT upon a particular measure in poli tics, and may realiy think. that an Administration upon a more enlarged basis might be of advantage to the Country. But graining both of these points, they must be inconsistent with themselves ; for they have hitherso manifested a complete sympathy with.' Mr. PITT in all his political principles, and he has not deviated from these principles in any resped they declared that Mr. PITT's return to power was all that was wanted, before they entered into a Coalition with Mr. Fox. Their present condua to wards Mr. PITT, however, seems to be marked with more than political inconsistency, and betrays str,,ng marks of personal rivalry, and a hottile.spirit, that strongly indicates a total extinaloh of private friendship. PICH GRU, it is confidently said, Underwent such tortures as put an end to his life, in the fruitless attempt to extort confession, or to make him im peach himself of such guilt as might afford colour for punishment. It is said also, that the body shewn as that of the unfortunate General was not his corpse, and that humanity and curiosity were pre. vented by military force frdm making a near exami nation. Such execrable conduct might be expeOed from the atrocious Rulers of France ; and the de clarationl of PICOT, the Servant of Gtoo Es, that he was put to the torture in order to tn_ike him im peach his Master, renders this account too probable.

Major N'Viit R NI GTON an' Captain DtritA' No proposed SOtile time ago to give four of the, party an excellent wherry to row for, and yesterday was fixed .upon for trial. At eleven minutes before 'five o'clock, the competitorS (who were Edward Bromwell and Isaac \Vood, against Shepherd and Iloweb) start - ed at a boat moored off Captain DuRAND's whalf, at Cuckold's Point. :the'former took the lead, .and kept about 3 boats lengths a head, till they came to the King's Arms Point, where they g. , ined'about double the distance, and remained in that situation all the "w,:y t the • boat moored off 'Woolwich, round which th•,:y were to row. One crossitgovefto Bugshy's Hole, in their way back, a grand trial ~ ;f skill and strength was displayed, and a' bct ter race Was never witnessed. After a hard struggle, Shepherd and Howell shot a head about a boat's length, and continued to gain progressively on their adversaries the remainder of the distance. Shepherd and Howell stepped into the prize. wherry, . moored off Captain DURAND'S wharf, at seventeen minutes after six o'clUck, making the time altogethereighty-eight.minutes„ during which they had rowed thirteen mile An uncommon number of boats were on the water. The Duke of MANCHESTER'S 20-Oared Cutter was among them, with a patty on hoard. Major WARR 1 NGTON was stationed off Wool wich to see the parties arrive there; and Captain DußAvb, after seeing the starting, followed the rowers down the river in his sailing boat.

The chataaer of Alonzo Was sustained by Mr: BARRYMOR E,and of Zanga Mr.COOPER.' In the last scene of the Play, where Alonzo stabs himself with :the dagger .which he had previously wrested from Zaqa, p')or BARRY MORE realized the scene. • -It-was a real African dagger, a favourite of Mr. COOPER, and the same: which he always uses ict itaing Zanga. . Mr. BARRYMORE, not aware of this, struck himself violently with the dreadful weapon, and instantly fell upon the stage. As he lay upon the stage, he called out softly for help, saying, "I am wounded. It is a real dagger !" Fur a few seconds, the Performers stood motion less from terror. At length some one cried out, " drop the. curtain," and an alarm was excited.— Some of the company ran from the house, others flew to the stage to gratify their curiosity. Among these were two medical gentlemen, who gave their assistance. Upon exami nat i on t h e y found that the dagger took a slanting diredion across the lower ribs, which it passed over, and lodged in his belly, in which it inflicted a wound of about an irch.— He lost a great .deal of blood ; it flowed over the stage. The wound was dressed upon the stage, after winch, he. was carried home, faint with the loss of blood." The ruinous Bridge in Hyde Park is to undergo a thorough repair ----next century.

Co, ke the Defendant is a young Gentleman of the Pdy Glee, said to be nephew to a Noble Lord, aid a son of . a Mr. Wilsor, Music -master, in the Hain,nertnith Rood. Mr. GARROW, for. the Plaintiff;, said, that tia'g Anion was brought for six guineas and 4.1 half, being the expenee of the Uniform in this C rps. ad rpited, that if the plea of infancy sh:uld be set up, he could not shew,that the Defendant was of mr, tore age, but he contended, that in the present cit.- cinnstances of the titn:!s, a Military Station was the scene of duty for every young mm, and that there, fore this Uniform, being necessary during exercise and inspetthm, must be placed in that class ot ne, cessaries for •which he was liable by law. He. added, ,that if the Lawyer's Corps, under Colonel EttsxiNE, were to be deprived of all the hardk youths under age, it would be reduced to a skeictoo, suited only to excite the ridicule of the common Enemy. Mr. ERCKINE, for the Defendant; said, that the father had offered the payment of the DAendant's debt to the Plaintiff,. without Costs. The Mien dant was a Ver,y , young man, of between s ix teen aild seventeen, annhe Learned Counsel was ready to grant, that, in the event of Invasion, the preroga., tive extended to exaffing the every bodied man in the Country : He did ia,r, therefore, me-Arr to say, that his Client was notliable ,o serv e , under certain circumstances'; all he contended foe was, that he was not liable to the present de.nrin‘L —He had been supplied with the ordinary Deli dress ; the charge now made was fur the Uinform. of Parade, which did not seem to fall within the 'class of necessaries adverted.to by his Learned o e .c ponent. 1,10 ELLENBOROTIGH said, that submitting to inspeaion by His Royal Highness the Commander in Chief, or others under him, was a part of his duty in his military capacity.. This was the dress of the Corps on such cNasions, and it secniNl. as important as a cap and gown at the Universi , y - ,: which in law are c Insidered as neccssaries.—Vet%. did fur the Piain tiff. COURT 'OF COMMON PLEAS, Jusz WALKER V. D'EGVILLE. • This was an affion of assault ,brAght by the Plaintiff; who is a Copier of Mo:ic, against• the Defendant, who is•the principal Ballet Master at the Opera House. - The transac.qion froth which the a&hin arose, happened on the 6fli of March Mr. BARROW opened the plea,lings, and Mr. Serjeant SHEPHERD stated, that Walkt.r, the Plaintiff,. is a man or a weak and sleral,'r trathe—« D'Egville. is extremely robust and strong ; anki. hcs. would refer him to, and, recommend much to his considerat'On, a passage in Snakspeare, • " "ris glorious to Possess a giant's str,:ngth, " But tyrannous to use it like a giant," He was not.instruaed to accuse him with having a,c a tuaily inflicted blows on the Defendant ; but a very ,painful and injurious assault may* committed with, out - any adual blows. The Plaintiff said, he would shake the life out of the Defendant—and in truth he shook him to such a degree that the poAr mrtn's in, testines received very seri:us injury, and lie has su f. feted severely in his health , in consequence of it. When a man is shaken like a phial of medicine, and all the ingredients of his inside arc jumbl e d together, it may be productive ,of very fatal elftd?,. The Learned Serjeant said, that Walker, in the grasp of the Defendant, was like a shrimp. in the clutches of a lobster. He has not been able to pursue his busi. ness as before this injury was infliaed, and he h,ped the Jury would give him that compensation which the Defendant . ought spontaneously to have offered before this cause came into Court. Lydia Hall was the first witness produced. To explain the mariner in which D'Egvile ;.hook Walker, she seized the Crier of the Court, who stood near her, and seemed inclined to give an exalt representation of the assault, to the no small 'amuse. merit of the bystanders, but he prudently shrunk from her Amazonian grasp Serjeant SHEPHERD asked her, is .Walker a feeble Finn ? A. 0, yes, very puny, indeed. Is Mr. D'Egville very stout ? A. 0, yes, I believe so ? he is rite gentleman who plays Hercules. Other witnesses were produced in corroboration of Lydia, and to chew the weakly state of the Plain. tiff's' health. On behalf of the Defendant, Mr. Serjeant BEST addressed the Jury, by stating that the .Defendant,. like most strong men, was very good-humoured. He insinuated that the nervous attacks to which Walker was subject` might be produced by dram_ drinking ; and asserted that D'Egville only laid of him by the collar to make him do his duty ; for there was a sudden change in the Ballet on that night, and of course a requisite alteration was to take place in the music, which it was Walker's duty to attend to and transpose—for Madame Parisot, Madame Deshayes, and Mons. Loborie,were taken suddenly ill. Walker, instead of attending to his duty as desired by his superior officer (the Ballet- Master and present Defendant) was skulking when he was brought back nolens volens, lest the audience might take umbrage at the change of entertainment, especially if something gratifying were out substituted. . • For the Defendant • were produced Mr. Lewis Simonet, Leader of the Band of the Ballet Music ; Mr. Jewell, Treasurer of the Opera-House ; Mr, , Michael Kelly, and Mr. De Winter, for whom Mr, Michael Kelly interpreted.—The Jury found a vt.r. tha for the Plaintiff—rol.
