overwhelming applause of an iiumensalylcrowded

general satisfaction expressed on the. testorstion of
public tranquillity. Before the curtain drew up.
several spokesmen in the pit endeavoured to
obtain the hearing of the house, but with-
out effect ; and one man, who was 'whiten-et
sod obstinate enough to persevere in his efforts,
even after the Play commenced, was hooted
down by the indignant shouts of treas. All
that we could learn from these orators, was, that a

to be called forward to explain the intention
of the Proprietors on this point. This occa-
wooed some noise during the early part of the tient I
.Ict, and the persevering orator, in front of the
pit, before-mentioned, persisted in holding up
• letter, on the point of a stick, to Mr. Kenshle.•
—To this letter the Manager looked with avrrted
eye, and bowed lowly to the general plaudits
with which he was honoured. It was at last thrown
upon the stage, where it lay, unclaimed. anise ad

on uninterruptedly, with much spirit, and Ilemble
was all mu all to the Prince of Denasark. dl, exer-
tions were repeatedly crowited with the excess of
applause, and certainly no applause was ever better
merited. Miss Bolton played the lovelorn Ophelia
with her usual interest ; Mundell was as comic as
ever in Putunins; and Mrs. St. Leger. Brunton.
and Murray, were very respectable in the charac-
ters of Gertrude, Lorries, and Horatio.

The Ballet of Don Juan followed iu quietness

thrown in by Grimaldi, kept the natives in the
laughing mood, till the curtain dropt, amid the
showers of fire, with which this vile spectacle

All the Actors were well received and warmly

In short,the performance of last night wits a repetition

occasion to great merriment, and which certainly
reflects much credit on its author. It represented

other well known buiguia, were produced, amid
tumults of laughter; nor were the gentlemen of
the Long Robe omitted. Grits appeured again in
a more ludicrous situation than ever, and afforded,
in his exem;natiiiii, a parallel, which every one ap-
plied. Ride Britannia was then played, after which

MEETING OF AIR. WARDLE'S FRIENDIL.
Yesterday a 'netting of this description was heals
at the Crown and Arietior, for the purpose oldies
daring their unshaken sentiment*, with respect to
Mr. Wardle's respectability of character, and to
promote a public subacripiime in support of hii
law and other expenses is the public cause. The
advertisements issued on this occasion stated, that
the meeting would commence baajitraa precisely at
twelve o'clock; but,lnwing to the difficulty of not
being able to procure a Chairman. it was some
time past one before it really did begin.
A gentleinnn of the name of Mallet. however, be-
ing at length found willing to undertake this post of
honour, the Chair was titled, there bring between one
and two hundred periwigs present, who had grad,"
ally collected during the preceding half hour.—To
thew Mr. Mallet addressed himself. He eulogised'
the conduct of Mr. Wardle ; who he twverthelese
thought to have been indiscreet on several occa.
moos—But this did not take sway from his germ•
rap merit, noribulinish his clam minis 'Mein for pros
tection and support, in whose cause lie had so nobly
stood forward, and so freely encountered every spe-
cies of obloquy. Since Mr. Wardle had deserved
so well rifles country. there was nothing which had
hat peoed, that could lessen the authority of his
character. He had served the public at the ex-
prose of Ins private fortune, and ought to be re-
munerated. He (Mr. M.) would trot ingitire, nor
did he think it worthy of their consideration, what
0 were the went, ur demerits of the Duke of York.
lie himself upon that Noble Duke as %infer-
tunete, insomuch is hr was selected for the victim,
where so rosily offended. But this was necessary.
The very high rank of the iudividual poisiteit
out as the proper sacrifice. What hail token ply e
since the period when the people were aIMOSI
oua-
nimous in their gratitude to Mr. Wsrille, to induce
them to alter their opinion ? He was only suspect-
ed of giving a bonus for the evideuce by which the
Duke of York was implicated. They ..could con-
demn no man on suspicion, and particularly on
suspicion of a fact allowed and sauctiteed by toe
law of the land. To that distinguishing feature of
Mr. %Vardle's mind which pertained to of
intention, namely. perseverance, we ali ewarel rotten.
His undaunted tirusness. whii. 'au '•iiiku.)- a lottibl-
dual stood boldly forward—not io devrieve asin-
gle case, hut a system of cnrruptioii ; uoi to attack
a single man, but a phalai.x, of whose cases
hung upou the Duke of York's; deserved. and
had obtained, the warmest support of his fellow.
citizens,' that most noble of all rewards. Stilldiil
he deserve their support. to maintain head against
the growing evils which his first attack hatl
posed. not exurpmed. The whole guess of corrup.
tion was agaiest him, and he had none to help hint
but the people. It was not, therefore. whither his
fortunes were good or lied, that rendered their
meeting and subscriptions neceiwiarye it was to
prove that if men will shee tin-aside, steady in
the public ranee, the public will support them re
their endeavours.--.(This address was received
throughout with much applause.)
Mr. Watranas next addressed the meeting...-
After the able speech they hod just heard, with every
part of which he perfectly co-incried, it would not
be necessary for tern to say much. He -as glad
of this, for his labours in th. it i -muse hail been of
late so great, as nearly to ...eeriest lens. Their
Chairman had placed the object of it-, meeting on
its true footing ; it rens not to permit ail individual
to suffer in his private fortune, from bi. exertions
in standing up fur the redress of public grievances.
Mr. Waithman then followed the 4.0015 e of the lost
speaker, and went over the ground lit Mr. War-
dle's pailiainentary and patriotic service. From
three he coiisidrred him as highly meriting the eu-
conrageinesit of his country. He had stood forward
alone, suspected, aspersed, and unsupported, but
he had been victorious; and it was a matter a- II
worth their attention, to observe, that the same men
who attempted to Injure his character now, were
the same who celninniated him before Wright',
business was at all known. He wouliltell them an
anecdote, which would shew how anxious some men
were to ruin those who raised themselves up to attack
corruption. An offer had been made to a person in
America, who had fled from thiscountry, to disclose
any facts he might be possessed of injurious to his
(Mr. Waithrnan s) character. For this service he was
to receive fifty guineas. This str....•eil the nature of
the case. If men were so anxious to ruin those no
higher in station than he, how much more stre-
i nuous would their endeavours be to stigmatise and
render infamous such a man as Colonel Wardle.—
Of the late trial he would say little ; he was the last
mail on earth who would wish to impeach the verdict
of a jury or the conduct of a judge; he would, there-
fore, suppose, that the charge given by the Learned
Judge who presided on that occasion was fair; but
he hoped never again to see a political judge in this
land. The worst of evils resulted from the prac-
tice of making Judges Cabinet Ministers ; and it
was somewhat extraordinary that, in sumniiiig rip
the evidence,on teis trial. some parts of it Weft
omitted. This, he supposed. miet have ar sen
from mere accident. and the Learned Judge trust-
ing so much to his memory, as In have little re-
course to his notes. He concluded by stating, that
Mr. ‘Vardle's character had ripen in his opinion,
from a close and even suspicious view of it, and
by exhorting the meeting to subscribe, to save him
from what he must call an unjust and cruel perse-
cution.
The Resolutions were then ream!, and agreed to
near. eon. After which
Mr. WAITNNAN informed the Meeting; that a
letter had been received from Worcester, stating
that the friends of Colonel Wardle in that city had
the start of the metropolis, as they had already
commenced a subscription similar to that now pro-
posed.—[Beilig desired to produce the letter, Mr.
W. said hethought it would be improper to do so.]
Mr. GALe James then addressed the meeting
with some degree of warmth. Ile descanted on
his own siltation in life, and inability to afford a
greater proof of his public spirit, than by subscrib-
ing a mite on this occasion. lie would give • gui-
nea—n golden guinea. and none of the rags of
Threadneedlc-street ; and he trusted the purity of
his motives would sancta,' the gift. Mr. Jones
then took re opportunity of making observations
on the conduct of the Jury, and of Lord Ellenho-
rough,on •he late trial, in terms which it is neither,
safe nor proper to repeat.

T_.

•
Ths? several Resolutions were Anti put Sind agreed
to ananiiiibusly.
Mr. WAITINdIt the* proposed the names of
several Gentlemen to compose a Committee to re-
ceive subscriptions, which passed also, with an
unanimous vote.
After the "suet vote of thanks to the Chairman,
and also to Mr. ‘t'aithmain, and Mr. Gale Jones,
ror their able speeches, which passed also unani-
mously, the meeting brake up.
The following are the Resolutions passed upon
the occasion :-..-

This was en action brought by the Plaintiff, the
owner of the ship Young Regulus, against the De-
fendant, the owner of the ship Leon, to recover da-
mages for as injury sustained he the Defendant's
ship running foul of the Plaintiff's.
Mr. P4lllll stated the case, and observed, that
his client, the Plaintiff. was in humble life, the
..woei of a collier, trading from Shields to the port
of London. The Defendant was a nch merchant,
owner of a number of lofty West India/nen; the
disparity of th- situations of the parties was equal-
led by that o' their vessels ; for when one of those
proud West Indiamen came into the river, thee car-
tied every t..iug before them with a high hand ;
the peaceable coaster ought to be thankful ,r he
11 ;IS not run down, awl it would be thought an act
of humanity, Vibe mighty vessel, which lied cross-
ed the Atlantic, put out a boat for the preservation
of the unfortunate crew ; so it was with Ins client ;
his vessel anchored off Blackwell ; in about half an
hour afterwards, the Defendant's vessel came to
Knauer but so near the Platotiffs. that on her
swinging, she went foul of the Plaintiff's ship, and
carried away her bowsprit and cat-heads. It was
for this damage the action was brought ; sod, if he
was instructed right. he had not a doisht but he
woulil he entitled to their verdict.

quarter, by a smack having run foul of him; he
brought-to on the west side of the river ; about half
an hour after the vessel was at anchor, the ship
Leon came to anchor on the east side of the river ;
she missed her proper sheer, drove against the
aorness's ship, and carried away the bowsprit and
cat-heads. To repair the damage cost his owners
701. besides the dyteution of the vessel in port.
Oa his cross-examination by Mr. G•IIROVI, he
said ha was released, cud that hieship bad not broken
her sheer.
Mr. Ofitauw,Counsel for the Defendant, stated.
that he was instructed to say, he could prove the
Plaintiff's vessel was the aggressor ; and tied by
witnesses totally disinterested, they being per-
toss employed at Gravesend to being this mighty
West Indianian, as described by his Learned
Friend, tutu dock ; and that she anchored in the
proper place. lie the° proceeded to call his wit-
°CM'S.
Mll:4atel Jepson, pilot of the ship Leon, and Ave
other persons, deposed, that the Plaintiff's ship
missed her sheer. and ran foul of the ship Leon,
and that she. the Leon, never stirred.
Mr. PARK replied, wad said, that the Jury ought
not to take into their consideration the number of
ituesees who contradicted his only one ; but look to
the probability of the case : The Plaintiff's vessel
wss first at anchor. and of course could not be the
aggressor ; that the evidence of the pilot went for
nought, as he was not released ; and the law wisely
provided, that if any dama .:e was dose to a ship,
terNor-
it wee under the charge of a pilot, he was an-
swerable; and the other witiseesses were nothing
more or less than his servants ; it was their interest
to bear him our, otherwise they would not get ano-
ther ship to bring up from Gravesend. Under tho.e
considerations, and as the evidence on the part of
the Plaintiff was uninipeached, he had not a doubt
bat the Jury, under the direction of his Lordship,
would give a verdict for his client.
Lord Es.t.ertettooon summed up the evidence
with his usual perspisroity. and observed. there was
only one witness brought (*retard in support of the
Plaintiff's case, and be was completely content/acted
by six, an the part of the Defendant. There had sot
been even an attempt. on the part of the Plaintiff,
to account fur the absence of other evidence, for
there must have beau more than the roaster on
board the ship. It beams" abe painful duty of the
Jury to decide which they believed, the stogie wit-
Dew, for the Plaintiff, or the six for the Defendent.
The Jury. after ten minutes' consideration, gars
verdict fur the Defendant.
