G VLDHAL?:: A Court of Comtnon Council was lie!d nyeaterdAy at Guildhall, at which were presetit the Lord lay or, 1+ Aldermen, Mr. Recorder, the 51%-r.iffc, and up wards of zoo Commoners. The LORD MAYOR (being the first Court) ad dressed the Court in a very judicious concise speech, declaring he should, with the assistance and advice of the Court, be enabled, he hoped, to execute the high and important office in which they had done him the honour to place him, and concluded by say ing, he should devote the whole of his time and at tention in discharging the various duties thereof, he hoped, to their sattsfadion. The proceedings of the - last Court were read and confirmed. A great number of City Leases were sealed with the City Seal, and the answer in Chancery to the Bill filed by the West India Dock Diredors, against the Corporation. s A few Petitions an Reports for granting Leases were-read, and referred to the Committee of City Lands, to examine- and report to the next Court their opinion thereon. Mr. JAMES DIXON, in a neat speech, moved the Thanks of the Court to Admiral Lord KEITH, Sir JOHN HELY HUTCHINSON, and others, for their gallant conduit in Egypt, and the great services they have rendered this Country ; also for Swords, of zoo guineas value, to esach of those brave OtfiFers ; which motions were all unanimously agreed to, and ordered to be published in all the Papers. The Watch At for the year ensuing was read and passed, and-ordered - to be printed. The Thanks of the Court were voted to the late Lord Mayor's Chaplain, Dr. GREGORY, for his excellent Sermbn, preached at St. Lawrence jury, previous to the Elettion of the present Lord Mayor, and he was requested to print the same for the use of the Members of the Court ; and a purse of 5o guineas Was also voted him, as a token- of the esteem of this Court. A Motion was made, That the. Report from the Committee appointed to inquire into, the " Nature, Duty, and Emoluments of Town Clerk, and the future management thereof," be agreed to,' which was ordered to be read ; and, after some objedions, it was agreed that the Fees of the Mayoralty Seal be separate 1 from the . ofiice of Town _Clerk, and be attached to the Office of Register of the Mayor's Court. , G Mr. YRANCIS ARItATT'S Motirtn reSpeeting a Survey of all Grain and Flour to be made through out the Kingdom, &c. &c. was highly approved, and supported strongly by Mr. Alderman ;a- B2R.T, and. Mr. GRISFITHS; but Mr. \VAITHMAN starting some objections, and several. :Members leaving the Court, it being very late, it was agreed to postpo - ne it till the next Court. THE THE STRE. Drury-Lime. THE COlliie Opera of The Duenna, which has limg been a favourite with the Public, and which is Tecommene.ed . - by more pointed dialogue than most dramatic prodations of the present day, was last night represented - for the first time at this Theatre. —I he novelty of that circumstance must be. sup. posed to have had no small influence upon the Pub but.. the chief attraetion must of course be 'assigned to the powerful talents of Mrs. BIL LI NG TO N, to the first appearance of that excellent Comedian gotcx on these boards, and to the re. spe4able manner in which the charaCters in . general are supported. Mrs. Ili INGTOWS Clara we ha v e already no-• deed,- as sheperfornied it at- the other Theatre. — Her talents were drawn' forth in their full extent last night,. and she was encored in " When sable night . ," and "By him we love offended. 'Her bravura was sung with prodigious skill,• and a strong attempt was made to procure an encore, but the Audience spared her the labour of repeating so very fatiguing an exertion. QUICK was received with a warmth or applause due•to an ACI.or of his merit ; and his performance of Little Isaac was supported with true comic hu mour, without any . buffoonery.' KELLY rendered Ferdinand a part of more in, terest than it has usually appeared. I.t would be unjust, indeed, to pass over the merit of Mrs. klov NTAIN in- Car/os. The part itself admits of little exertion, but she made the most of it, and sung the airs charmingly. She was encored in,"-Had I a heart," and " Ala! sure a pair," and was particularly distingUished by public applause. SUE IT'S Don Jerome Contributed much to the ge neral merit of the representation. Soon after the doors were open the .Honse was filled, and a great number of persons mUst.have been disappointed in the attempt to obtain admission. The Opera was brought forward' in point'of dresses and Scenery in a wanner• very creditable to the Theatre. The Earl of E'READALgANE has purchased Lord PETRE'S house in Parkjane ; the price was 12,000 guineas. Mr. LEWIS'S Play, forth-coming at Covent-Gar den Theatre, we hope and trust will have no Ghoo in it. If there is one, it will never do for Christmas, for then, as an immortal Dard has it; No Spirit darer walk abroad." The plan of the French l'hysician i of marrying the two Savages, the Aveyron And the dallician, in order to produce a race of genuine unmixed Sa vages, is doubtless , very ;ivise. Unless some such Measure be adopted, there is great reason to fear, that the brutal race of mankind mighty particularly in 'a metropolis, degenerate into civilization-- a circumstance much to be deplored by all Ai/o/a 'kers.

COURT tYP 13ENCH; S 7 Bv, THE KING 't,. MOUNTAIN. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL ptayed the judgment of the Court on the Defendant Richard Mountain,. who Lord KeNvON said, was tried before him at _the last Assizes for the County of Kent He had not got with him a -copy of the Indidthent) but the .material parts of it _would appear in the recital of the evidence. It was a charge against the -De fendant, for uttering several treasonable and sedi tious words, as they Wete proved by Mr. Alderman Curtis and others. The Aldeiman swore, that On the 28th. of Oc tober, as he was going by the Mail to [or from, which we could not hear] Dover, the coach stout at Dartford to change horses ; a man Came up to the Guard and spoke to him ; saying, " Why don't you pull off that bloody coat," meaning the livery of the GUard. " Do you know - what you are talk ing of," said the Guard: " Yes," said he, " I know it belongs to that rascal your master, the King, damn him ; itis by such fellows as him, and his favorites ) and all such fellows, that we English men are kept out of our bread." Mr. Alderman Curtis asked him, " What he meant ?" He said, , s " Damn your eyes, you are a Methodist Parson hired by Government to praise it." The Alder man asked him -o let him see hiM, and whether he was not afraid of being hanged. _He said, " I shall not be hanged until I have killed a thousand such rascals as you," meaning the Alderman. He asked him what _his name was ; he said his name was General Mutiny.- He afterwards said, " that his real name was Dick Mountain.; damn all Kings and all Governments upon earth; for my part, I ails a Jacobin," &c. Another Witness said, that the Defendant said the King was a bloody rascal, and he wished he had the shaving of his head, and more of the. same sort of shocking language ; but the Witness added that the Defendant was in liquor. On the part of the Defendant there appeared seve. ral Witnesses who had known him for five or six years, and some for more, who gave him a good character for loyalty as well as honesty.--=The Jury found him Guilty. This day Affidavits were produced on behalf of the Defendant, first his own, by which it is stated that he is a Coach -master; that he is extremely sorry to have nude use of the. expressions proved against him at the late trial, and that the moment he was made sensible of his having abused a Sove reign tOr whom he always had telt, and always. should feel a sensible regard, he was extremely un happy ; that he never was a member of any Poli ticA Club whatever, nor had ever joined' any fac tion-against the Government of his Country, but on the contrary, had always been a friend to it, and had always atied the part of a peaceable member of die Community, &c. The Affidavit of several other persons stated, That they were acquainted with the Defendant, and believed him 'to be a loyal subject, and well affected to Government. But that when he Was in liquor he appeared to be in _a state of distraaion and that, although that was no excuse fora person in his situation, they verily believed he was in that state whet) he uttered such expressions ; and that he could not commit this crime from any deli: berate motive whatever, for that he was GO far from being disaffeded to Government, ,that he had been always ready to support it ; that he was a member of a Volunteer Corps, and had assisted in quelling the mutiny at the Nore ; that he never belonged to any political club whatever. That the Depoaents, as well as the Defendant, lived at' Dartford, and , that they had so lived for ten years ; that no poli tical, dub bud been held there, • nor in the neigh bourhood, for that time. The Affidavit of several other persons stated, that they were on the night this happened, with the Defendant, in company with him, which was at a Militia Substitute Club, where he got very much in liquor. Mr. Serjeant BEST addressed the Court in mitiga tion of Punishment on behalf of the Defendant in this Case. He said there were, besides what the Court had heard, a number of Affidavits testifying the good charafter of the Defendant. He said, he was not instruaed at the trial; either to deny that he was the person who made use of the expressions, or tO:contradia any thing_ that was said by ttie Witnessei on behalf of the .Prosecution. His de fence then was, what it now was, and what he ad mitted to be no defence in law, it kvas, " that the Defendant was drunk." Although this was no de fence at the trial, it afforded a strong ground now to apply to their Lordships' mercy ; for, although he knew that one crime could not be justified' by . the commission of another, yet the lesser offence having been committed first, lessened coniiderably the other high offence of which the 'Defendant had justly, been found guilty, /t was impossible to put the Case Of the Defendant in a better light than the AffidaVits already placed it; by which it appeared that he was in a state of extreme intoyeica, Lion ; such as not to know What expressions he made use of; for when he Was told the next day of what he had. said, he was not aware of having made use of these expressions at all, and he had ever since felt deep regret for' having uttered them, and which regret he now expressed, not froth any dread of punishment, but from a real sorrow for having conditaed himself in a Manner so totally different from the whole tenor of his life: The Court; he hoped, would be merciful when they saw before them an unhappy man, convifted of saying,. he knew not what, as appeared' indeed ; the evi dence ; for what he said appeared mole like the ravings of a madman; than the Words. of one who knew what he was about, dnd it was apparent that the Defendant did ',net deliberately utter these word's: He wanted a place to be carried in the Mail, he was told lie could not haVe it, and by that he , was irritated: The Defendant did not wish that any attempt should be made to palliate the expressions -made use of. They certainly were very improper, and even most indecent ; but as .they did not proceed from the, heart Of the. man; but were tna c 'cd of in tokication; the Court would iiot pass on tfi6 rend:dot such sentence a§ otherwise their ships' duty Would haVe inipmed upon thetti to do. Under fil these i:ii - eutnitances',. the Learned Serjeani said, he humbly hoped the Court i,vould not pass oti the Defendant a rigorous sentence:. . . . The ATTO RN El" GE, ELAL said; that if the Wards Which were uttered by the Defendant had been lesi malignant, or fewer in nutnb2r than they had been proved to be; it might, perhaps; . in charity; 'be thought that they were the cad of , occasional in_ temperance ;. but, here, they crust be taken; he presumed, to be (though delivered When the pasty was in t state of intoxication) the effea of a deli_ berate Meditation - of his sober mind: . The effdl of _intoxication was not that of generating; in mind, any new purpose; but that of renioving cer tain guards or cautions which prudence kept there, and to give vent to the former concealed workinzi of the mind. Where had the Defendant been just before he was heard uttering these expressions ? Ho was just come from a meeting of a Militia Society, where the expences of otir Militia, and other tarr establishments, had ; probably, been in agita tion ; and the thoughts which the convetmation ge nerated,' burst forth- in These outrageous exclarna tions against our Sovereign and all his- establish. trients; words which, the Learned Serjeant very justly said, could not be palliated. There were many Witnesses who attested the respettability of the Defendant's character, from which he would only infer, that he was, in general,. a man df more than an ordinary degree of caution and prudence, who kept his sentiments concealed while the guard of his understanding was upon its duty, but w-hen it _was Off its post; the real sentiments appeared. - H6Wever, the whole triattti was before the Cotirt. He had . only to submit, that these were not met random expressions. As to the Defendant'S drunk enness, it could not be even tendered, much less ad mitted, as an excuse„and, he. submitted that the better way would be, to7pass on him such a sen:. (price as shall induce him to overeome his drunken habit, lest in sortie future evil hour he may do some other, and even stAl greater mischief: for these reasons, he apprehended the Court would infiki On this Defendant a considerable degree of punishment.

Tenn."-- Committed to the King's Bench Priscin; FORGE very extracirdinary 'Vorgery }leis recently, been discovered at Norwich, by a young Lady of that City. Miss last week Went to the Bank of OUR NEI" and CO. and Presented a Draft" of 4.061. for payment, purporting to be drawn upon 'that house by Mr. Ev,ktis, of Kirby. On looking at the Draft', Mr. GUR NRY rerriatked to the Lady, that this was not according to the mariner in which Mr. E; had hitherto drawn his bills. Miss asked, " how so ?" He replied, because be never knew hire to draw upon a stamp before ; and that he always Sign ed Thotircrs Bro , aig Ecu,vis, and not Thos. B. Ect.,ans its appeared the signature of the present bill. Miss persisting; however, that-it was drawn and signed by Mr. EVANs, she was required to call the next morn ing, and went away. Mr. EVA/ , :3 was immediately sent for,, and being shewn it by the Banker, declared the bill not tcl have been drawn by him; and agreed to await the issue of Miss - application in the morning; but soon after returning ; he asked to look at the bill again, when, upin receiving it, he is said, under the pressing influence of his humanity; to have put it into the fire.--;The affair might probably have.rested here, had not Miss --L.— on going home, voluntarily declared to her fin:lily the fraudulent. attempt that she had made, with all the i:ireutri. stances that had pissed upon the subjeet at the Bank': the consequence was, that her 'famils., con sisting of a father, mother, two sisters, and herself, left Norwich on Monday last for Yarmouth, - and thence .embarked for Hamburgh in the course of that evening. Until this extraordinary event, ,Miss . who is beautiful and accomplished, was highly esteemed for the amiableness of her manners i her elder 'Sister, a short time since, was married to a Field "Oflizer in the Army. The family thus in.. Volved in extreme distress, being in easy, if not af fluent citcumstances; and the. author of..their misery .• having discovered no propensity to extravagance,- it is difficult to ascertain the Motive that occasion ed this extraordinary attempt, which Miss -- herself refused to declare. • Wednesday; of Has MA J ESTY was coming to Town, one of his Attendants was thrown from his horse, and considerably bruised. Tuesday night; at half past.seven crielOck; an in.: quest was. held at the Niliddlesex Hospital; upon the body of William Glover; who hung himself in Mr, Trotter's-yard, Oxford street, on Satiarday night. .The deceased, who was about .3z years of age, had lived fourteenyears•in the family of Lord PE Itik H Y in which he was reared from boyhood, and when grown np,. was Made butler. - A few years ago he left that service, and carried on a muslin manufac tory at -Bolton, in Lancashire. _He failed in this business about a year ago, and came to town with a view to engage in same other line of life - ; but not succeeding, he became melancholy and desponding.. He was previous to his misfortunes, a sdber man, and bore an excellent charmer, but la'terly became addifted . tO liquor. On Friday night he appeared somewhat deranged, and did not go to bed, and on Saturday Morning - was observed to be a good deal in liquor. About ten o'clOck in the morning he iefr his lodgings in Dean street, Soho, pith a friend, who. walked \vitlf him into the City, and brought, him back about six o'clock•with great difficulty,, as he was very quArrelsorse and, turbulent. . Atter committing some violence in his lodgings he ran away, and was not heard of until thbriiit two hours after, when he was found hanging by a handker_ chief,- from a beam in Mr: Trotter's yard. He was' immediately taken down, and means were used to restore life, without effete. Upon this case being proved in evidence, the Jury brought in a verdiet of Lunacy, The deccased, was a tin; le man. •
