HOUSE BIIEAKINC;

Ma% 1111/, ''''''''' Jelin tare,
were capi:ally indiEteti for breaking into the dwell-
ing-honse of Richard Porto., at Cr-a: Ealing, and
taking therenut several articles of r.•earing apparel,
snuff-box, &c. It appeared, that on the Sd of Au-
gust last, while the prosecutor and his f.imily were
absent from home, at their work, the prisoners, be-
tween seven and eight o'clock in the evening, broke
through a window, which had been stopped up,
arid took away the articles stated in the indictment.
On passing through the garden of the prosecutor,
they were perceived by one Mr. Greenshaw ; who,
knowing the family were from home, pursued them:
one of them' appeared to have a bundle, which he
endeavoured to conceal. While in the pursuit, the
witness was joined by Wm. Harping, a servant be-
longing to the I)uke of Kent, and some other per-
sons. One of the prisoners (Lacy) concealed him-
self in a hedge, while the other two got into the
Duke of Kent's gardens, and were there appre-
hended. During the playsuit they had dropped the
bundle anti other ari icles.

William Churchill deposed that he met the pti-
sone? s crossing a reap field; he asked them how
Burdett got tin? and they answered, he was thirty
a•hiad. Immediately after he saw the other wit-
nesses in pitratit of them, and he joined.
• The articles, consisting of a child's shirt, a shift,
apron, snuff-box, &c. were then identified by the
Prosecutor's ; hut not being sworn to be of the
value of five shillings, so as to sake it a capital
crime, the Jury ;uund all the Prisoners gieilly of
stealing to ihr odor ef4s. 6d.
Edward Davis. alias Tri"fignst, a boy only fifteen
years of age, was capitally inditled for stealing one
51. Rank Note; three Itd. Notes, aid several other
Notes, amounting in the whole to 8.51. the property
of Robert Bryant, the elder, and putting the said
Robert in fear of his life.

It appeared that the prosecutor was a diaper, in
Chiswell-street, aud while lie WAS counting out the
notes in question, for payment at a hid. he observed
the Prisoner watking backwards and tore-ads, with
a pipe in his mouth, life a porter. Soon after, he
came into the shop, and asked to see some waist-
coating ; and while the prosecutor went round the
counter to spew him the goods, the Prisoner caught
at the notes, which lay under the Banker's on
the counter, and ran away with them. The prose.
tutor was so much alarmed, he could not cry out.
However, when he recovered his fright t little, he
applied to the Police Office; and the officers, sus-
reaing the thief, traced the Defendant to hislodg-
tigs, where they found hint intoxicated, and took
loom his re -son 501. of die notes in question.
"Ihedurv, under the tErcetion of the Judge, found
him zmiky.of the theft only.

WEST-117)L4 DOCK C9MPANY.

GENFA:AI. count'.
A General Court of this Company was held on
Friday, for the purpose of considering a dividend for
the last half year. Mr. Hibbert, the Chairman, after
Fiving.the most satisfy Cory account of the proceed-
ings of the Institution, and of the future prospeCts of
the Company, proposed the full half-yearly dividend
of five per cent. which was carried.
The Caste u A ri then proposed thar a further divi-
dend should take place at the end of the next four
months, and that after that period the dividends
should take place on the Lst of January, and on the
a of July. instead of the present periods.
Mr. IL Jac "son took that opportunity of correCt-
ing the misapprehen.ion of a Proprietor respe&ing
such part of the dividend allowed by law as was now or
might hereafter be in orrsae, clearly :hewing that the
Legislature only restrained them from dividing more
otps Me whale, that at Me rate of ten per cent. pa an-
nutn. Mr. Jackson said, suppose that from detention
of convoy,or other circumstance arising from the war.
the arrivals due in one year should nut arrive till per-
haps the commencement of the next, was it just or rea-
sonable that those who had engaged i n thisgreat under-
taking at the risk of a million of capital, for the ac-
commodation of the trade of the port, should be
entirely deprived of their income during the one
year, and receive no more than their ordinary di-
vidend during the next, although the funds of the
Company, from the number of arrival' within the

krttp, year should be fully adequate to the payment
the %livid aid for both ? Mr. J. insisted that the one
and halt or tv n per cent. left in arrear of the last.
•ear's dividend, as well as a ty future arrear, should
1.-4 unfortunately take place, would stand un ler
the a.(.V in the same order of payment as the current
dividend, and must be paid before the Dire tors
A. 0.11,1 be at liberty to enter upon extensions or
improvements beyond the original pl n. The 39
Geo HI. c. having expressly postponed dis-
bursements ftsr such purposes, till after the pay-
ment of the full Dividend to the Proprietors. Mr.
J. AdJed, that if any doubt still existed on this
point, either with the Dircalors or Propriet•,rs, the
sooner the Legislature was appled to for its removal,
the better. Ihe whole meeting, however, seeming
to agree with Mr. Jackson in his exposition of the
ACt, it WAS uoa.simously resolved that the next di-
vidend should take place on the Ist of January
next.
A Proprietor then presented a paper, signed by
himself and eight o hers, demanding that a special
general court should be held, to consider of giving
n,/ivies to the &redoes. This notice appearing to
creat: some surprise, the Chairman observed, that
it w.is merely a notice, and not then a subjel for
debate ; adding, that it would be fake delicacy in
him not to say he entirely approved of it, and
thought such a measure would become the liberality
of the Company. No time, however, w:s fixed for
this extraordinary Court, and the meeting adjourned
sine die.

Before we touch upon the Portraits, there are
few more pidures out of that class which we wish
to mention.
.1 Tr ger disturbed et the moment he has seized on Iris
Prey, by G. Smith, has great merit. The face is
very fine; and the whole expression of the crea-
tures passion, as that is found both in the counte-
nance and attitude, is conceived with accuracy, and ,
most forcibly delineated.
The Ghost, from Bloomfield9s 4, Farmer's Boy ;"
—if Vine in Irak% Moel Siabodd at a distance;_.
and Conway Castle, by Sir G. Beaumont. These
three pislures severally possess much beauty. The
first of them is a winter-scene, moonlight. The sub-
jed is well imagined, and the appearances of the
time of year chosen by the artist, very accurately
represented. The other two are natural, spirited,
and pleasing views.
Inside View of an Alehouse Stale, by I. L. Agassr.
We mention this pidure with very sincere pleastm.
It is particularly to be noticed for truth of cha-
rafter ; combined with a better finishing, a fuller
and richer colouring, than we find in some other
artists in the English) school who have treated Simi-
lar subjeds. The smaller of the two horses is little
interior to some of the best roastcr, in :hat Led.
The dog is also well done.

withheld. The great object of laws was to prate&
the rights of the weak against the strong, Cie poor
against the rid: ; and Dr. Johnson had given it as
his opinion, that to bring a poor man and a rich
man into a Court .of Law on equal terms was a
desiderJutn. What would he have said, had be
known the stamp duties on law proceedings now,
when they are arrived at such a height, that it is
the pat t of et cry honest solicitor to tell parsons ap-
plying to hint, " Unless t'e property you %rant to
recover is of sii..ll a v.dtie, is not worth suing for."
l'alking of the expression Ai vendetaio, he contend-
ed it might fairly be called selling justice, inasmuch
as these stamps are an express denial of it, b^cause
you cannot pay for it. Though he had objeteted to
a Bill brought in by an lion. and Learned Gentle-
man, for preventing misdemeanors, and would not
give f.icility to certain societies to bring public pro-
secutions for private wrongs, lie ssislied to give
every facility to persons prosecitritig the recovery of
their own private property. The motion, therefore,
had his hearty concurrence.
After a few words in explanation, from Mr. PIT r
and Dr. Lacasuca ; _

The question w•as put, and the Callrry cleared,
but no vision took place. When re-admired, we
found the House in the Committee, Mr. ALEXANDER

Mr. SI IHRIDAN objefted to letting the Sche-
dule be made part of the Bill, till the :recounts which
had been the ()Net of the last debate were settled.
This occasioned a further conversation of some
length between Mr. PITT, Mr. SHUMAN, Mr. W.

The question was put, and the clause agreed to
without a division.

The Committee having gone through the printed
part of the Bill, two clauses were introduced : the
first, enaaing a fine of 501. from all persons not. ad-
mitted in the Inns of Court, and otherwise disci:ia-
lified, who should, for fee or reward, execute any
instrument, for granting of leases, mortgage of
estates, or transfer of property. The other, le-
veling duties relative to attorneys and their clients,
in bringing causes into the courts, &c. A con-

The Plaintiffs had an .•xtensive commercial house
at Surinam, and the Defendants were great com-
mercial merchants in Lmsdon. The former had
consigned 103 bags of coffee to the latter ; and hay-
ing received advice of the sale, and of the sum re-
ceived on their account, the Plaintiffs drew Bills up-
on the Defendants for the amount, which bills they
refused to accept, alleging, that they had fot got to
charge for the insurance of the pods from Suri
nam to London, although all charges to: lighterage,
storeage, insurance against fire, &c. had been charg-
ed on the account sales. Upon being called upon to
mew their authority for making the insurance. they
alleged, that they had made a lump insurance upon
all produte coming home, and bad appropriated
7501. to that cargo.
It appeared that the Defendants had sent a dupli-
cate of the account sales some weeks after they had
syn. the original one, and had never mentioned any
thing ahnut the insurance: that the policy was long
subsequent to the advice of the goods being shipped,
and hAI never been direaed by the Plaintiffs.
r ! t. ENDO ROUGH observed that if the Defend-
ex,.yded to be pai 1 the insurance, they should
ave hid a srecific policy ; hut they could not have

Several witnesses wer: celled to prove the value of

Upon the cross-examination of the witnesses, most
of whom were surveyor', it appeared that the pre-

t e city bad them railed in to prevent danger to the

probated the condufl of those whs advised the No-
ble Lori) to bring thosr affirms, who, he observed,
was a man of high rank and immense fortune, quite
sufficient to support any rank His Majesty could
bestow on him, without grinding the tenants of his
late father

Lord Eta.trisciaouou observed, that the question
was, whether. in the fair exercise of his judgrne.nt,
the father could make alease to prejudice the rights
of his son —Verdi4 for the Defendant.

In consequence of the tale of this cause, five si-
milar ones were withdrawn.

The 'Bath Voltm!eers were inspeeted by General!
Fisher, on Durditarn tiown, on Monday last. They
ei'm through a variety of manceuvres very much to
the tatisfattion of the General, who bestowed on
them the most flattering encominms for tluir steadi-
ness and good ronchteit They marched from -hence
01 Tlincsday morntrig.; and, on their arrival at Bath,
the streets were crowded beyond all precedent, ssids
spe.littors.to greet tl:e:n on their return home. They
marched to Queen-square in a steady, soldier-like
manner; where Colonel Strode, with considerable
energy, addressed them in nearly the following
word.
" VOLUNTEERS, . .

The band then played God Save the lii, g; after
which the Colonel, in the name of himself and other
Oificers, formally presented Captain Edward Davis,
the Adjutant, with a beautiful char:;er, which the
Adjutant imtnedial:ly mounted, and addressed the
Corps, assuring them, that the high state of disci-
pline towhich they were arrived, was to be attributed
solely to thcir own tr.rseverance and attention. lie

HAY-MARICET TM: ATRF.

Goldsmith's Comedy of. The God Moo
,a, revived last night at this Theatre. It was re-
duCed to three at ; and the curtailments (ailmitt-
log the propriety of making the alteration) were
executed with judgment. Mr. DA lITI.HY play-
ed J?' .eyw ed (the C iod Natur'd Man) in a
ver) 1 leasing manner. But the chief excellence of
the night, and indeed as great an excellence in
comic humour as our theatres can boast, was the
playing of Croaker, by Mr. MATH ews. He dis-
played an imagination of uncommon fertility
He was under no necessity of repeating an :union
or look. because he had run the round of his
conception. Every scene induced the spedator
to say—" This is exquisite; yet this singular Insp.
dance can never continue to the end." It did con-
tinue, however, and with growintt novelty of illustra-
tion of the same tone of humour, to the very end.
Croaker's scene,when he finds what he thinks the let-
ter of an incendiary, was very happy ; but still finer
was the succeeding scene, when he watches the sup-
posed incendiary. It revived in our mind the idea,
though no copy, of sonic of the best of our deceased
comic adors ; and Mr. MATHEWS may assume the
just confidence, that he will rival the fame of any the
most esteemed among them, if he loses none of that as.
sisluity, without which genius shortly fades into a
mere shadow of its former self. This play was ge-
nerally well sustained ; and we cannot question,
that it will be often received with pleasure.
The House, before the drawing up of the curtain,
overflowed in every part. The boxes were filled
with a most fashionable aud; tnce.

cALMAIOI v. It:11141MT.

This was an aftion for an assault. It appeared in
evidence that the parties frequently re uric, to the
lodging of one Mrs. Paledle, by both whom she was
much admired. Nut finding it convenient that they
bothsisould visit her at the some time, she wished to
see them at different per;ods t but unfortunately, one
day, in her absence, t.te two gentlemen met at the
lady's lodgirgs. Being naturally jealous of each
other, an affray took place, during which the De-
fendant struck the Plaintiff. The assault being
proved, the Jury found a verdict fot the Plaintiff
of one shilling.

lINYMARYET MEATRE.

Mr. Cot. A IN'S elegant little Theatre opened, last
night, with the Play of The ilLsortaiseers, and the
Atterpiece of Lore Maris at Locksmiths. Mr. EL-
Lisrott's acting in the interesting and popular elm-
rafter of Oetericn, is already sn well known to the
town, that it will suffice to say, that last night it was
received with all its wonted applause. In the scene, in
which he meets Thranthe, he was peculiarly happy.
The character of Loperoeho served to introduce a new
after to the town—Mr. Nost.e, from the theatres
of Edinburgh and Newcastle. This gentleman felt
some diffidence, and to this we ascribe a certain de-
gree of feeblentss in the cast of his humour, which.
however. was cLaLtc and plca,,ing. I here were one
or two uaiches in it more rival titan the ?TA!, which
leave us Tittle reason to doubt that AL will he a suc-
cessful performer Mere, Miss HowsLis was de-
lightful in ..4g,er. Mr. Ds. Came improves mach
in his aain.g. There was a little grimace in his
Soli, that ii.jurea its err, ; but it wa, generally
very spirited. The .fifer-piece was played with all
its former excellence and success. Copt. Bele/ore and
.12.114 cannot be in better bands than those of Mr.
ELLIGTON and Mr. Mats isxws. The favourite
song of Mi,s Bailey was encored. We were glad to
"see this Theatre open in a very auspicious manner,
for the House was early crouded, and the Boxes
displayed much splendour and fashion. Both Pieces
were received with great applause, and the audience
departed well satisfied.

as the wound yielding a matter, which gave me
reason to hope a mortification had not taken place.
Sir A. CliA M c —What were the symptoms that
led you to consider the case as desperate on Thut s-
day
A. The symptoms of great discharge from the
stomach, and the pulse becoming, very irregular,
with occasional delirium.
Mt. SCARLET—What were the expressions that
Mr. Grayson made use of, that led you to suppose
he gave himself up ?
A. To the best of my recollection they are these,
" I am now going to appear before my God." These
words were repeatedly spoken, but on Thursday they
were first made use of—he hoped for mercy—" I
might have gone with greater guilt upon my
head—l might have died with the guilt of kill-
ing Mr. Sparling, instead of being killed by him."
Addinz, at the same time, " whatever my opinion
may be as to Mr. Sparling's condna, I freely forgive
him the injury he has done me in giving me this
wound, and I beg my friends may not prosecute
hint." I might add, at the same time, that though
he had repeatedly mentioned Mr. Sparing', name
—he declared he was so great a strang'r to Lim,
when he went out tv meet him, that he did not know
his r crson.

On Monday last, a fine little girl, about five years
of age, the daughter of a Laker on Temple-bar,
was decoyed. to the suburbs of this city by some

which have frequently occurred, should induce the
parents of children to be very vigilant in guarding
them against the atrocious miscreants who trade in
this species of depredation, and who sometimes have
the cold barbarity to add to the robbery, the mur-
der of their little vid",mis.
