" The interruption given by the Spanish Pa triots, as they are termed, to our commerce in that quarter, is severe ; no vessel can navigate those seas, under whatever Hag, in safety.

Though The British Press ani, The Times have wisely dropped the subject of NPKlNLEY's.acquit tal, the Morning Chronicle ruturns «) the subject, anx:Gus, no douht,to demonstrate that there is no d:lference bet.ween not proven and not guilty, a dis tinction clear vii all iilipattial men. But it says that the exposure, the proceedings, "haq excited universal consternatiOn and horror." Ilow soon the Chronicle becomes acquainted with universal sentiments, :which, however, on this occasion, mean not the real, but the declared, sentiments of ttie Morning Chronicle ! The proceedings of Friday at the YORKSHIRE ASSIZES are insetted in our last page.

It is curio,s, and, no doubt, will be very mortifying tb the Opposition Journalists of the Metropolis, that, though the trial lasted the whole of the day, =tot a word came forh respecting OLIVER, or any other supposed Government Agents. This morning a serious accident happened at the Custom-house. During some process in tryilig the Gas, it suddenly exploded, and blew up the stone• staircase. The grand entrance was imme diately closed, and for a short tics e business was at a stand ; it was, however, soon resumed, and we are happy to state that no person was injured. We beg to call the attention of our Readers to the Plan of an Accumulating Fund to the North Staffordshire Infirmary, as advertised in our first page. This excellent suggestion is so clear in its details, and so certain in its result, that we think it hes only to he r,ail to he approved. To fix this important C'nirity on a permanent footing must be regarded as a most desirable object. The treasure resolved upon appears to he eminently calculated to i , isure i s perpetuity; we then-fere hemrtily recommend and we trust that the libe 'al subscription already begun, will be ecner"UY followed by the numerous and benevolent Pro moters of the Institution. It may not be mom"' ful to remark, that (-very additional 100/. will ac celerate. or shorten, the stated period of accumu lation six years.

SIR,---The Weekly Paper published at a penny, under the above title, is so difficult, at this dis tance from the metropolis, to he procured, that if you have any knowledge of the writer or tie pub lisher, you will oblige many of us in this part of the Kingdom by requesting that another Edition of the previous Numbers may be printed. From the Work not having been advertised sufficiently in the Newspapers, we had not an opportunity to procure them, or, indeed, at first a sufficient knowledge of its object, until after several Num bers had appeared, and it was noticed in THE SUN. The Work is written with so much spirit, ability, good sense, and oLn uNGLISH FEELING, that 1 trust the Writer of it will not drop his ha ' bours until he has gone through the latter periods of the English History, with the same talent as he has the anterior. Indeed a IVork of this nature is of too great importance to the welfare and happi ness of society to he suffered hastily to be dropped, and when the tOLITICAL series of it are conclud ed, it is to be expected that this able champion (And to use the expression of a venerable and il lustrious individual, with reference to men of for mer days), this Giant of modern times, will direct his attention to the RELIGrous Condition of the Country, and endeavour to check those evils which we are likely to experience from the want Of a constant, daily, and weekly warning against the false feelings of the new morality, and the cant and hypocrisy which too generally prevails at the present moment. The fanaticism of these times is as much within his reach as the political craft he has so admirably and powerfully exposed ; he, therefore, ought, for " conscience,sake," to persevere in the good fight " he has entered on, and not to regard, for a short time longer, the personal in convenience a literary avocation of this motive may ,Occasion.--To you, Mr. Editor, the Public owe great obligations, for the firm and constitutional stand you have made to maintain THE INTEGRITY of the Constitution of the Country as establishee in 1688. The PROTESTANT COMMUNITY, in 411 it t ramifications,aredeeply sensible of the claims which you have on them, and I have not a doubt but that you will receive that generous and general sup port to which, tinder circumstances of peculiar delicacy, front your recent conduct, you► are so honestly and fairly entitled. I can only say, that in the circle of the connexion in which I move you have their good wishes, and that every one of them will, to the utmost of his power, do every thing he can to serve you, so long as you uphold the great and Imulaniental principles of this Pro testant Eropire.-1 am your friend and well.. wishcr, Exeter, July 29, 1917.

Bobbie Elliot (Mr. Bartley) is represented as plodding his way homeward from deer-chasing, in the gloons of au 'Autumnal evening, when he is sought after by a Pea sant, Davy (Mr. Hockel), at the instigation of his grand. mother, Dame Elliot (Mrs. Grove), and . intended Bride, Grace Armstrong (Miss M. H. ttuggins;, to hasten his steps; when they are encoantered on a I, icly moor by a Strange Being (Mr. H. Johnston), who reset is their proferred courtesy. in a nine of insane misanthropy, and I:aves Hobble and Uaiue perfectly persuaded that he is nut of mortal lineage, but is goblin of no amicable disposition. Although he shuns all so- , ciety, lie has acquired a certain awful reputation in the neigti bourliood of being a heaven-taught Wizard. He is con sulted in secret by Isabel Vert (Miss Kelly), who is distress e d by her father's threa , s t o solemnize a forced marriage bet weeei her and Sir Frederick Langley (Mr. T. Short), when ho promises to appear and deliver her from the impending, rue, which Ore:dens her. In the mean blue, Hobble's Cosktage is destroyed by fire, and his cattle and Bride ear -1 ieil off by the Reivers, instigated chiefly by the Laird of El-. lieslaw ,(Mr. Wheatley), be whose daughter and young F. ' airoscliffe (also Mr. H. Johnston) there is an at tachment, which the old Laird disapproves. Grree Arm strong being missing during the fire at the Cottage, Hobbie is plunged in the deepest despair, and seeks information of the \V said, for the recovery of his destined Bride. By an oraco lar hint given to hire by Elshia, the Wizard, he seeks his lost mistress in the Towers of Wesburn Flat, kept by Grime Mr. Isaacs), a plunderer, or one of the border foragers, wilts after capitulation leads forth to the astonishment of the be- , singers, not Grace Armstrong hat. Isabel Vere, who bad been entrusted by the old Laird, her father, to the temporary care of the Moss Troopers. Holebie in the end, however. finds his Bride happily restored to him. The ei.tasirol,h, is brought about by the appearance of the Wizard, who when they are all ranged for the sacrifice made on the part of Miss Vert., irk" order to have her father's life, and at the nismient of the so lemnization before the altar, io the Castle Chapel, suddenly appears from the interior of a monitnwnt, and is soon re cognised by the guilty Ellieslaw to he uo other than young,. Earnsclac, the Liiii•d's vital enemy. The inveter;lte lit licslaw at first th;nhs of having recourse to fence, when he is suddenly arres:ed in his pro;,re.s, by the di:-eiivei v that the supposed Earnsclilre is in, other thari the rightful heir to the estate, who had been stolen limn his cradle, and was be:ieved to have died in infiincy ; but who, in fart, wai teat to a distant country, wnere, as he adyinici-d tsj manhood, be hail been persecuted by his unnatural uncle, and confined, on his return to England, as a Ili,.

Upon the whole, this piece has been adapted to the stage with considerably skill, but it tegn . res, and will admit of, great retrenchment, part ieuhrly in the misanthropic tifasions of :he Wizard, wthicla tire, and almost disgo , t, with repetition.. The ing was ll,roughout exact and animated. 11.Jotill sToN, BARTLry, and Miss KELLY were quite at home, and deservedly excitea the warm applluse of an audience which completely filed the Thert-b tre.—The music composed to accompany the pan tomimic part of the acting does cred:t to Mr. HORN.
