THEATRICAL INTELLIGENCE.

DRUKV-I. ANE.

The Gentleman, who has been twice before re-
ceived with so much favour by crowded audience•.,
in the arduous character of Richard the Thxd, per-
formed it for the third time yesterday evening, and
was again most favourably received.
This gentleman does wonders in the part, for as
absolute novice. His fourth and fifth acts, if not
allogedier free from objection, are, in the mair.,
given with great
.correctness, spirit, and energy,
and he exhibits manifest improvement in the scene;
in which Cio'ster is playing his deep game to obtain
the crown.

With such uncommon powers, he must, we should
presume, make a very respectatsle figure in some
other chafacter of importance. Report say s, that
he is next to appear in Shjlod.

CrIV/ST CARDEE.

The Comedy of The Man of the World, was per-
formed at this Theatre, last night, to a very brilliant
and crowded Audience. Mr. COOKE, in Sir Per-
tinax Macsycophant, supported the character, which
he has already so well established, without any di-
minution of credit;—indeed, next to Richard and
lago, we consider it the part best adapted to his ta-
lents.

LARGE OFFICE-PENS, peculiarly Well Cut.
TH' evident advantage of having WRITING-
PENS well cut and well shaped to the Fingers, and of
that true elastic mould, as ripe and seasoned Quills only are
capable of answering, and bearing that nice exactness of
points, which a clean and open slit will render smooth and
fine, as to write any kind of hand with perfect frisedoiu and
pleasantness. This circumstance must not only be very con-
venient, but truly interesting to every person in the habit of
writing; great pains has been taken to select a proper Stock of
prime, qualified, and seasoned quills, for this purpose, its
order to remove the evil of bad pens, so justly and uni%ersally
complained of in this country.

(vtost A CORRESPONDENT.,
PridaY* morning a most extraordinary duel took
place in Hyde-park, between Lieutenanttr. of the
Navy, and Captain J. of the Army. The antago-
nists arrived LI the appointed place within a few
minutes of each other ; some dispute arose respe&-
ing the distance, which the friends of Lieutenant
W. insisted should not exceed six paces, while the
seconds of Captain J. ...aged strongly the rashness
of so decisive a distance, and insisted on its being
extended. At length the proposal of Lieut. W.'s
friends was agreed to, and the parties fired per
signal, when Lieut. W. received the shot of his ad-
♦ersary on the guard of his pistol, which tore away
the third and fourth finger of his right hand. The
seconds then interfered to no purpose ; the son of
Neptune, apparently callous to pain, wrapped his
handkerchief round his hand, and swore he had
another, which never failed him. Captain J. called
his friend aside, and told him it was in vain to urge
a reconciliation. They again took their ground.
On Lieut. W. receiving the pistol in his left hand,
he looked stedfastly at Captain J. for some time,
then cast his eyes to heaven, and said in a low
voice, " Forgive me !" The parties fired as before,
and both fell. Captain J. received the shot through
his head, and instantly expired ; Lieutenant W.
received the ball in his left breast, and immediately
inquired of his friend if Capt. J.'s wound was mor-
tal. Being answered in the affirmative, he thanked
God he bad lived thus long ; requested a mourning-
ring on his finger might be given to his sister, and
that she might be assured it was the happiest mo-
ment he ever knew. He had scarcely finished the
words, when a quantity of blood burst from his
wound, and he expired almost without a struggle.
The unfortunate young man was on the eve of being
married to a lady in Hampshire, to whom fur some
time he had paid his addresses.

THE4TRIC4L INTELLIGENCE.

IDRURY-LANT. ,
The comely of the Merry Wives of lirodsor was
performed at this theatre, last night, to a very re-
spectable house. Mr. PA L MLR, for the first time, ap-
peared in the character of S r John Falstaff. His
representation of the amorous and facetious knight
was instil received with the warmest testimonies of
approbation. In relating the adventure of the basket,
he par ticularly excited loud and general applause.
Mr. St LIT, in Shallow, displayed all the comicality
for which he is so well adapted ; and Mr. COLLINS
was admirable in the part of the silly Slender.—
Mr. WROUGOTON gave to the jealous Ford all the
force of passion, suspicion, and delusion, v. hich that
character affords ; and Mr. DO %VC 044 in Sir Hugh
Evans seemed just arrived from the air of the
Cambrian mountains. Miss MELLON for the first
time appeared as the representative of Mts. Page,
and justified the choice she had made by a most
happy delineation of that play ful and hun►ourous
character, which she sustained to the entire satisfac-
tion of the house. Mrs. lisatowE. in Mrs. Ford
displayed archness and good humour in the most
pleasing utanner. The whole piece went off with
considerable id:4 and the curtain di opt amidst
thuatiers of applause.

arrival of the expected reinforcements. St. Marc
is not to be evacuated, as Leclerc had ordered it.

great satisfaction of the inhabitants, who preferred

INDIAN CONJUROR.

At the Calcutta Supreme Court of Judicature for
June, a curious case was tried, of which the follow-
ing 1...p05t is givens-..“ The prosecutrix, was stand-
ing at Iser door in the Chitpere road. The prisoner
mime and accosted her with, " Madame, you area
very fortunate and handsome woman." The prose-
entrix invited him into her dwelling. He told her
that under her house a number of copper vessels fill-
ed with gold were concealed, and that if she would
give him half their value. he would get the treasure
fur her.. She told him that she would not give him
half, but would make him a handsome present ; out
which he consented to undertake the business on her
account. He demaded four gold mohurs; but as
she had only one, he told her that her jewels would
answer the purpose as well. She gave -him an old
backgammon .box to make pooja in, of flour and
rice, and to coptain the jewels with which she sup-
plied him, viz. her gold bangles, worth ten gold mo=
hurs, a necklace of gold, and one gold mohur. He
came three days successively, made pooja, and utter-
ed prayers over the box and jewels. On the fourth
day, the one on which the treasure was to come up,
at twelve o'clock, he found something was wanting
to complete his necromancy, and under pretence
of going to fetch some water from the sacred river,
he left the prosecutrix's house ; but, making more
haste than good speed, he dropped the gold mohur
that had been loaned him by his credulous em-
ployer, from his waist cloth. This. exciting alarm
he tied ; but being soon overtaken, the bangles, &c.
were found upon him, and he wAs committed for
feloniously taking and stealing of the same. The
prosecutrix is a professed Christian ; yet she suffered
a mendicant Bramin to induce her to place confi-
dence in his powers as a conjurer. being asked by
her where the treasure came from, the prisoner an-
swered, that it was sent by the Bramin's God, and
was on a subterrawan journey to the river Hoogly ;
but that on the moment of his fixing the box in a
corner of her house, lie arrested its course, and that
he should draw it up to the surface of the earth by
the means he had esed. In all this gypsy jargon,
the deluded woman placed full reliance, and in
consequence came very near losing her jewels to a
coriscirrable amount. Tiie .fury, without leaiing
their seats, found the prisoner guilty.
