He coniteenced by r esumin g his h_n'tl°ll, or rather, as he expressed It, descrip t i on pr, try. He said, that the 'proper antithesis Jai soY was not prose but scien ce, and that ,tl ," ie ,' was distingoished from the l itter b y having in. pleasUre for its object, atsl attaining its ` 6 Y the language natural to us , a state of power ,,oe'tement, It was different from other kinds of i t\ a 'Posilion by producing pleasure froth the whole, rite with , the stibortimate pleasate frorn component arts ; and the design of .it was to iistrn . atiieate as much immediate pleasure as is con- Ti,it With the largest sum of. pleasure from ' the ' L i ' ° Lc rt: is not enough that the poet renders 7 1 ,, al e grateful what is already p leasin g , but he must. 0 . ln the more difficult d ut y , b y the magic of ripi rate,.o of extraaing pleas ure from pain, The lec r,having touc h ampli fi ed in this p ortion of his sti,)t ess deeming it absolutely eiecessary that it t' cl uid be correctly understood, in order that what . Illould in future offer might be intelligible ; he stet adverted to some passages in the Psalms and t,1,141), to slew the num erous -hexameters with the sacred writings abound, as the poetical toi in which we express Ourselves snider tlie strong I ta i Polies of passion. Having disposed of this in oi or) , matter, he advanced to th e consideration „p the wonderful powers of Sh aks p eare, which he i ' t " c i:cek, I with some remarks on the Unities, ;itti te .

It was uueecessary to enumerate. him amongst the other items that form the matter for indictment. The public must,, for some days, have observed a notice from the Lord Mayor, of the Elsa of a child, describing' his person, and offering a reward 'for the discovery of the. little perdu, or that of the person by whom he was stolen, who was described to be.a lady of genteel appearance, smartly dressed„ and who had purchased tut the - little boy a hat and feather,. at the shop,of a hatter on ,Fish -street-hill., A : number of witnesses were examined., for the put . - pese of identifying the lady at the bar with the fact in question. An old woman,. naMed. Mary Cox, " who kee a pss green-grocer's . and fruiterer's shop in St. Martin's lane, Cannon-street,. deposed, that about half,past ten on the morning of Merida), se'imight, Mrs. Dellow, the sootier of, the lost child, came to, slier shop, told her she was going to COnSnll a medical, gentleman on some complaint in her eyes ; and left the little boy, and anoth er child, his sister; in her care, until her return. Thewitness was sitting slimily afterwarde with one of the,Thildren on her knee, when a, lady answering to:the prisoners description came in, and ,called for two-peneyworth.oi apples. She put ,down the child and served her. Immedi-1 ately afterwards some other person came in for some of her merchandiee, whom' she also served. She then missing the \children from the door, called them to come in, but neither answered. She ran into the street, but could not find them. Alarined at this, she went up the. street, and called frequent ly Ite s becca" (the little girl's name,) but received no answer. After a 'short time, she saw the little girl, without her brother; returning - down Fish 'street, having an apple and a small plumb-cake in her hand, She'asked 'her who had given' her them, and where her brother was ? The child relied, she hid got them from the lady who, just before, had bote;ht the apples at her' shop, and had taken her little brother with her to his mother. The woinan made every inquiry about the 'neighbourhood, but could 'find no satisfaetory trac es of the hely, She could not swear to the lady's identity, nor 'her voice, :but merely to her-size ;• having never seen her be fore, and only beard her speak a few words. Two witnesses from a pastry-cook's shop, on Fish -street-hill, the .one a shop-woma n, and the o ther the daughter of the t'naster, pros'ed, tha,t on the morning, and about the hour stated, a lady, at tired in 'a dark gowe, blue cloth cleak, and black s t ra w bonnet and feather, came into the'shop with 'two children ; one the little 'girl now produced itt and the other a little boy about four years Old. They had neither hats nor tippets an, and she boy had his bair turned up. on 'one' side of chil fore heed, answering to thesdescription of thelOst d. The lady bought., some buns,'of which she - gave t ea to each of the children, and immedistelY went at t o he at with them. Both these witnesses looked lady, and felt every reason to be convinced she was the same person; although she was noW' dre csseh d quite differently, t i eing . attired. in i scarlet lot cloak, and figured silk coiffure. -• The uncle of the child stated, `that havig.heard his brother's little ion , had . b e en stelen, he made every inquiry into the circumstances, ;Ind ro diSeovetund the neighbourbuter, in order, if possible,. to some clue to the person who had taken off the child.: He learned what as' had in oforniedccurrea aat t th th e e past sho p iy-co tit ok11,1r„ and afterwards w.

The girl !vas then called up Stairs, and on. seeing and hearing the 'defendant speak, said the was the very person. the witness cautioned her at the time to be very circumspect, but she ,was positive as to the defendant's identity.. The witness ;again , requested the lady not to be alarmed, but told - her it would be necessary for her :to accompany. , hint with the officer _to the hatter's shop beforementicined. She came without hesita tion ; but at the hatter's, the fernala who had sold the hat and feather could not speak positively to her person, but merely to her size ; and she :..,herself 'positively denied having ever beets - eitber.ar the hatter's or the pastry-cook's: She was, however, held in custody, and her. apartments were after-• wPrds, searched, but no .such cloak or hat as Ilto%e described to have bean worn by her on the former day, nor as that said to be purchas , d for the child, were discovered, .nor any thing that could give any intimation respedling her. Some papers and letters addressed to her, which shewed het to have used the. name of. Ruston, vete found. The, little girl, Rebecca Dellow, was now inter !ogated by the Lord Mayor, and she said, in her answers, that• it was the lady_ at the bar.who had given her and her brother cakes an d a pp les, and had taken away her brother. • The Lltly positively denied any knowledge of the . transaction, add added, that she was confined within bar lodgings by illness the who!e tat the day, and the , two days preceding this transaction, except going out on the Monday afternoon ahem four o'clock ; and,this, she said, could.be proved by two,witnesses, the owner: of the house where she lodged, and another female, who is also an inmate. The Loan MAYOR said he had no objection to re mand her for another eiamination, in order to give her the tppot utility of bringing those witnesses for ward ; but at the same time, he explained to her the nature of the charge against her, and the necessary severities of punishment that must follow a Cott'vic tii'm ; andetrennously advised her, if she knew any thing of the ,lost child, to communicate it to. his parents, as the only ctrulition that could induce them to Owego farther prosecution. The defendant their fell on her knees, attested Heaven to witness her innocence, and fervently prayed that she• might never rise with life from the:.pootire,in which she was, if she had any know ledge whatever of, the child, or of theaCt imputed to her., The defendant is about thirty, of genteel appear anC,e,and is understood to be respectably tunnel ed ; her husband being a Surgeon to the navy, and two of her brothers Officers in the army... minded till Friday: IUSi • Bo w.;STREtrr.--The ' . footpal wlio stopped and robbed Kr. and Mrs. Smith, as thq were returning home on Sunday evening (in a single horse,Chatse) to Kingston, Is supposed to be in . custody at the abode Oriice, On Tuesday, a man off.:red a watch. to pledge at a powitbroket's, in Chandos-street, but: from some suspicions circumstances it. was thought 'proper to . detain Vrm.
