The useful and affeding woes of George Barnwell were therefore represented instead of the lofty crimes of a bloody usurper. The youth and figure of CHARLES KEMBLE are very well suited to the unhappy Hero of this domestic Drama. He performed the charaeler with feeling and ability, and was recompensed by the applause of a much larger audience than could be expeEled to attend a play not much adapted to the taste of the times, and very little calculated to please the higher order of Auditors. Covent-Ga)-den. Richard the Third was represented at this Thea tre last night, and CoOKE seemed disposed to re trieve his reputation by more than ordinary zeal to do justice to the Hero of the Piece. He supported the part indeed throughout with great spirit and impressive energy. He' is an Aftor who weighs what he titters, and does not view a part by tradi tional lights, but obviously thinks for himself. In his emphasis last night- we, however, thought he was wrong, though'we shall content ourselves with giving only the following - instance. When Lady Anne threatens to destroy that beauty. which Rich ard pleads in extenuation of his crimes, he says, " These eyes could not endure that beauty's wrcck, " You should not 6/enthi) it if I stood by." The antithesis is evidently between wreck and blemish, but COOKE did not mark the distin&ion. However general spirit rather than critical nicety is required by a- public audience,. and as he is not deficient in the one he; may be excused if he oc casionally fails in the other. The house bad a very large Audience, a proof that this ACIor is far from declining in his popularity. The Dublin 'Theatre opens on the vi of next rhonth, under the management of Mr. IioLMAN. Mr. BANNiSTER, Jun. it is said, bas purchased a Share in the Dublin Theatre, and is in a few days to set off to Ireland, in order to employ his talents in support of his new property. The Newcastle Theatre is open .this week, it being the. Fair week at that place. Miss HEARD, who belonged to Drury-Lane Theatre, is now in STEPHEN KEMDLE'S Company at Newcastle. _ _ _ Qurcx, it is said, is in treaty with the Drury_ Lane Managers to perform Little Isaac. He is much more wanted for that part in his old quarters, at Covent-Garden. Mr. Btiowx, 'who was many years ago the hero of the Bath Stage, and who - performed at the Hay market during the management of the elder COL mm4, is soon to make his appearance at Covent Gar den, as Betverly, in the Tragedy of TL Gamester. Mr. SHERIDAN has returned to town, and, ac_ cording to report, is going to employ himself vigorously in new arrangements for the interestof the Theatre. The.success of Pizarro, though only touched up by his pen, points out the best mode of arrangement, and strongly indicates the eagerness with which the people would flock to any original produce of his Muse. Many illiberal animadversions have been made in the Public Prints upon the Theatrical Charaaers who appear in Front Seats at` the Theatre. We were in hopes that the oldprejudices against the theatrical world were at an end, and that the en lightened judgment of the times would have classed Aaors with .Professors in other provinces of the liberal arts. So many respetab!e men and women have raised the - theatrical char.ater of late years,. that it might be supposed the profession in general would no longer he- the obje6t of invidious, nar row-minded refleffions. Why should not those who contribute so much to the public gratification, have an equal right with others to participate in public amusements themselves? If the 9th of November is to be celebrated with great splendour in Paris in honour of the Petite, we have no doubt that on that day the City of tondon will at least be equal to the City of Paris in all the solid parts of the festival. The appointment of Lord Mayor'i daj for a Parisian holiday, seems as if it were not intended that the rivalry of. the two countries shciuld henceforth be confined to rnanu faduresi but should also reach to articles of con sumption. Yesterday the London Session's were opened before the Recorder, the Sheriff's, and several of the City Aldermen. The only trial of any note was the KING GIBSON. This was an indiainenf for keeping •A disorderly house, in the Oki 'Change, Cheapside. The principal evidence was Frances' Hart, who said she had, hired herself as a servant to Mrs. Gibson, thinking it to be a private house, but coon found that it was an house of ill-fame. This she proved by a detail of circumstances 'which it is iinnecessafy to specify; This evidence was corroborated by the Parish Officers, who expressed it to be Ihe desire of the Parish that this house should he indited. The Defendant had nothing to urge in defence, excepting the ingenuity that, fell from his Counsel, which not being supported by evidence, the jury found both the Defendant and his wife guilty, and sentenced them to One Yedr's imprisonment in Newgate. A little boy of six years of age, in petticoats, being put on a poney last week, in WalWoi-th, was run away with over the fields leading 'to Camber_ well. The servant had just turned his back, when the reins being over the poney's head, he galloped off. The child was soon thrown over, and hung in the stirrup, and in this situation was dragged a quarter of a mile. It is. very singular that the child escaped, in consequence of his petticoats, with only some very severe bruises. A man named Griffiths lately died at Thimgay, in Wales, who had been 89- years martied to his now surviving widow, and during that long period had never been ten miles nom home. 'CiERKENWELL SESSIONS, ZiONDAY; OCT. z 6. Ttt t Sessions for the County . of Middles'ek corn. inenced before W. MAlNwAtti NG, Esq. A num ber of traverses were tried ; the folloWink were the most material : Charles Fancock was indiaed for assaulting-Mary Slaughter. It appeared that' the Prosecutrix had foimerly, when the Dog and Duck was in its zenith, figured away as a celebratedfille de joye ; but, for several years past, had become domesticated with a corn factor, at Hornsey, who', suffering his extrava gance to exceed his means, became indebted to the Defendant, a tailor, in the sum of about 901. The Defendant took out a Writ, and proceeded with the officer and his follower to the corn-faftor's house ; but every gate was barred, and they in vain essayed to gain admittance. Determined to try the effea: of stratagem, the Defendant and Tom Touch, the Bailiff's follower, vaulted the garden wall, and, advancing with cautious steps, secreted themselves in the privy, as the most convenient place they could find, where they lay perdue for several hours. The Prosecutrix gently opened the door, when the Tailor and the Bailiff burst out, knocked her down, cut off her toe-nails, as she said, and threw her head foremast into a water-tub. In the mean time Dorrel had bolted the door of the house, and se cured himself; and the Prosecutrix, to avoid the necessity of his opening it, got a ladder and went over the wall. The Defendant and the Bailiff, fiod- ing they could .not catch the person they were in pursuit of, effeeted their retreat. .The defence set up was, that the Prosecutrix had made tIA first assault, accompanying it with the most abusive language ; that she h►d seized the Defendant, and, in the a6t of struggling, they both fell into the water-tub ; that, as to. cutting off her toe-nails, her toe was trod upon, and the nail might have been bruised ; and that, lastly, . after the Defendant and the Officer went away, the Prosecutrix exulted in her victory ; threw a bason at them, and saluted their' with a volley of stones. The CHAIRMAN, in summing Pp the evidence, censured in Very severe terms, the condutt of the Defendant 'and the Officer,' in presuming to break into the premises of Mr. Dorrell, in order to execute a Warrant. It was what they had no right to dc, and any violence used by the Prosecutrix, upon discovering them, was justifiable.—The Defendant was found Guilty. William Hobbs was indiaed for an assault upon John Eades. The Prosecutor was walking along Bethnal,green-ftelds,. with a young Woman, and the Defendant came up and behaved with indecency to wards her. Upon the Prosecutor's renionstrating with him on.the impropriety of his condua, he fell upon and beat him most unmercifully. He then 'followed him to a public'-house, where he again beat and swore he would murder him,. and he afterwards pursued him to a chandler's shop in the neighbour hood, where the Prosecutor concealed himself by getting up a chimney, till Officers arrived and took the . .Defendant into custody.—The Defendant was found Guilty. The CHAIRMAN ordered the Defendant to he im prisoned for One Year in the House of Correaion. Thomas William Fletcher was indiaed for as- saulting John Atlee, on the Bth of September last, From the evidence in this case, it appeared, that the Prosecutor was the twopenny Postman deliver ing the letters within the district of Chancery- Lane: The Defendant was an Attorney living in Quality-Court. On the day stated in the inaiet ment, the Prosecutor delivered a letter at the house of the Defendant, direeted for Mrs. Fletcher, which was carried up stairs to the Defendant; Whb, after he had broken it open returned it, and refused to pay the poStage. The Postman said, that the rea son for refusing payment must be indorsed on the back of the letter, according to their official forms, or lie himself must be responsible to the Office. The Defendant then inclosed it in a cover with another direaion; . , but the ProseCutor could not take it, so, and broke off the cover : an altercation ensued, when Fletcher knocked him down. Tile jury returned a Verdian of Gui lty. Mr. MAINWARINa observed, that the Postman nitist be considered as an officer of the public, and if he were to be assaulted upon every dispute resped ing postage, hip btisiness would never be done, and the public must be Most material sufferers. Upon this consideration, the Court therefore fined the De fendant 161. Mary Taylor wag indicted for assaulting Eliza beth Thc-i Defendant Was Wife to a butcher,' and the Proseeuttix wife to a goldstnith in ,her neighbour: hood. On the 'St of June last, the i?roseeutrix went to the shop of the Defendant for the purpose of buying a Shodlder of lamb, but as she saw, none.to ple.ae her, the Defendant told her she could cut one from a qUarter„Whicii would prove very ex cellent. It was cut off', but did not. please, which caused-a dispute between them:. The bile retused to take it, acid the other insisting, as it was cut of, it must .be paid for. The.bdtcher's wife carried it to her neighbour's, and threatened to throw it through the Windows, if it were not taken in . . The goldsmith's Wife sent it back again ;. upon which the Defendant beat it about the head of the Prosecutrix, whiCh was - the Assault complained of. The Jury having found her Grillo', the COurt sentenced her to a fine of PETER WHITFILD BRANCKER, tS4. is eleaed Mayor of Liverpool, and WILLIAM TERRY, Esq. Mayor of Sephton. It is reported, that by a secret article in the Treaty between France and Portugal, the latter Power has ceded to the Republic a small part of the Brazils. Such is the rumour to which some degree 61 credit is annexed. It is obvious, how ever' that all the treaties concluded with the in ferior Powers of the Continent, must be materially affeaed in their provisions by the arrangements be tween this country and Franee. Last week a pregnant woman was killed by the overwrning of a cart in which the was riding near Alford, S'ath"L A Nn. xpiidaintr,l4, OCT. /2: INSTRUCTIONS were received yesterday by Co.. lonel FERRIER, to suspend the recruiting for the Arniy until further otdersi thOse Regiments i the East India excepted.

ABER/iEEN, OCT. 19. _7ohn Young, aids Robertson, travellieg Tinker, was indicted for the murder of James Davidson, alias Htigh Graham, Tinker, by stabbing him in the bellV with a knifc'upon the high road near the Church of Chapel of‘ Garrioch, in the month of April last. The commission of the crime was dis_ tinCtly proved, 'and the Jury returned their verdiet, all in one voice finding the Pannel Guilty.

A shocking accident happened on Saturday, in the neighbourhood of Whitechapcli which ought to operate as a caution to Nurseiy-mlids while two of that sisterhood were engaged in idle chat; a fine boy, between two and three years of age, got, um, perceived, to a three.pair-of-stairs window, from which he fell, and was literally dashed to pieces.
