The Piece altog*ther may be considered as the offs . pring 'of a poetical mind ; it contains tnneh descriptive imagery, Which is well• conceived, and .Welt expressed, but which . is toe often introduced in places that shOuld be, oc 7 reupied by at.tion or by•passion. The mind i s not SM - liciently prepared for the appearance of the Fie roine, who btirsts .at, once upon the audience in a ~ state of vehement emotibti. The first i n t erv ie w be tween Altenturg and Matilda, in which the latter conceals •her Self under a veil, is very interesting, awl the irnaginatidn is- kept in an anxious doubt . ot . the event: The -cleep contrition and intense ,agonies whiCh prevail in the Mind of 111(2614 excite an eXpeatition- of a more terrific ; diseldsure than sh e afterwards makes, though a departure froth Virtue and -the concealment of a child from its parent msy be supposed-to be the cause of severe inquietude in an amiable • charkter, bitwever unjustly treated, as the heroine Alai!. :been ‘deceiVed into a Pro- . inise of reparation by her. seducer, -and as she had trained the child whom she had withdrawn to.the Most virtuous habits; .her emotions anight• have been supposed to have -been. niarked by sorrow rather tlihn by Rich bitter self-reproach, and a state of I - nisei) , bordering upon the mildness of despair. But, upon the •whole, the Piece excites.much sympathy, and, if its redundancies were reMoved, would foore pow erfully operate upon the feelings. The senti 7 nients are natural; and are conveyed in corrett and elegant • Janguage. Tlie Charaaers,. if hot distingu:;shed by. novelty, are well . discriminated and diversified, and there is a mixture of pleasantry that relieves the melancholy parts, and pf6vents them'from pressing too. heavily on the atfections.---•• The Piece.

There rritist.have been at least A thousand auditors who heard every word I said y'fsterday on the hustings, and who know that 1 did not then speak, as I ne ver have in any other place, or any other occasion, one disrespeafrit word of the Duke of iNoteritum intiLANn. I was happy to have it corroborated from you to-day; 'that the assertion of .the Duke 'having sent round such letters to the Vestries as are chncribed in thts 'atrocious libel, 'or of his Grace's Friends having for a moment thought of supporting Mr. Pitrt.i.., Was an audacious falsehood.

Mr. CLIYVORD, the Barrister, pro posed, that as Mr. MELLisit might be considered as secure of his ele6tion, all the friends of Sir FRANCIS should Vote for hint in cm-1313116E0n with the for- trier, declaring that he had that day given his vote in this Manner. Mr. Vehemently opposed this proposal as a scandalous compromise. CIIFKIRD was riot permitted tb reply, and a sub scription was then opened. Thus we See that Sir FitASbig is obliged to violate his own declaration of not providing carriages. , --for the ati of this meeting must be considered as his aa. We see too with satisfadlibit, that his friends find ,it in vain to op-; pose Mr. MELLISH. We hope they will be equally unsuccessful against Mr. Bvt for after such principles as Sir Fli4Ncts has expressed, orally .and in his Address to the Freeholders of Middlesex, it becomes 'them to clnisd any man attached to' the Constitution rather than 6tfch a 441 and dupe. o f JaNbinisat..

This person had been the clerk and book-keeper of Higgins, acid. kept all the accounts of stores, forage, Eke. 'supplied for the' King's troops. Fle further stated, that the testi mony of these several persons was necessary to his deferic 4 ', and denied positively, that the apPlication Was for any purpose of delay.

The only depositthat he knew of, for the judiciftl proceedings of the West Todia was, the Secretary of State's Office for the Colonial Department, and the Colcocil Office. Search had been made intheSe, offices, the result of which, he... found to be, that originally 'the Courts of Judi . - eature in the Island of Barbadoes, consisted of Court of King's Bench, or Grand Court of Sessions,. and a Court of Common Pleas; tint in The year 100 all=-Ac` passed'consolidating all these Courts 'under the general title of the Grand Court of Judicature, coMposed of a ChiefJustiee and.other Judges, In Dominica there was like Wise a Court of Common Pleas, but this was not a standing Court, and only called twice a-year by commission, at the will and pleaspre of the Govethor-General,' who was the Supreme Judge, assisted by all the Justices of the, Peace in the country'. With respe& to Gransda, an Island very little larger than the Isle of Wight, be found it divided into five precinEls, each of which had it's clstin'Et and separate Conti of .COmtuen Pleas, There- was also a, Court of Error and a Court of Chancery, with two oti!er ordinary Courts of Justice; in ah of which the Governor 'General and Council presided the cornier as Su.- preme Judge. There was also a nominal Court of Exchequer,. with a Chief Baron and ,three junior Judges. 'These several Judges were a ll of them oamets ; and other gentlemen of the Island, and, the only regular-bred professional men belonging to 'these Courts ofJudicature, were.the Attorney and Solicitor-General. The Learned Counel therefore ttought, the-beat mode , to fiAlew would be to !, a7 ,- t i the several mandwia,ses, directed to the Chief :and other judges, 'the Governor-General, Sze. .He then moiied for similar Writs of Mandanius„ to be issued , -and directed in the same way, and f o r th e same pour prise, on behalf of the CroCkin . • - Mr. PARKE, for the Defendantosstired the Court,' that he did not, wish to impede their proceedings N any way whatever and therefore no objection to the Attorney-General'sappliarion, The Rules for Manctuhusis; on either side, were accordingly made absolute.
