Tiieatrc, mate forward in the part of Captain Del-
ta/4., i the Musical Eire, of Rosetta. 11'r do not

Lad night, Mr. MOULTON'S Co;lsrti ; of it)BOM
esd C'9ustry 1111Y111; undergone, with a frw ex-
ceptions, nit entire new east, was perfumed for
the first time this season. The most judicious
Change was that of Mr. l'ou en for Mr. liEstet,e,
lo the part of Reuben Weitrog. Mr. Yount...4
voice, youthful incliner, and vivacity of counts:.
trance, made him a much more appropriate re-.
piesentative of the run tune youth, tumbling
through the Welch mountains. Mr. YOUNU
played with great effect, and received considerable
applause. Mr. JON ES performed the part of
nattick, formerly tilled by Mr. C. licusxx—the
part is tint one of much capability, but Mr. Junks
dres.erl it well, and gave it all the interest which it
could possibly receive. Mr. link DEN, its the part
of Trot, was very humorous, and kept the house
in pests or laughter. Mrs. C. Kittens, in the
Hon. Mrs. Gleurof, was lively and judicious. tier
scene with lerabeis was interesting. Miss Narrow
was simple and witalfected in Rosalie Sesser ;. The
ether parts were filled by the stile performers, and
with the sumo exeellimee, as on the former represen-
tations of the Comedy. It wits received with no-
b .ended aupl.titse by a most crowded audience.
The night was replete with novelty. A grand
Ballet was brought forwurl, composed by Mr.
Itosst, which introduced Mademoiselle No RA, front
the Opera Hence. cod the INCI NT I'aLODISY, front
Liverpool, (a little girl of etre years old.) Nlailaine
Nola would appear to mere advantage one larver
stage. The house awkeowledged the
.wonderful
performaace of the child. but seemed to feel that
her introtluctiea was premature, and that some
year* hence, wheo her gility had the advantage
of strength, she would be a greater acquisitiou
to the Ballet. Master 061:* II Besse, the Misses
ADA XS, and the whole Corps cis Saks were
brought into action with great effect; the Music
and to were very pretty, and much applaud-
ed. The Fares of The SelsoolAr Authors followed,
iu which Masers Mum une and JONICS exerted
their talents with the happiest 'mettle.

BATH, Dtc, 14.4 _ • :

Sta*--T arrived an this greet frek4g
the tee-kettle of England, the latter end of the
lost week. Au uceideutal surfeit:, :occasioned. 47:
over-rating at au a, usual visitation, (to
*itich I em al Naysfranked by the iihurch-wardrias
of one of my curacies), brought uu a weakness of
stomach,- and flatulence, for which the parish
apothecary declared there was no cure but the
Bath waiters. A Load hearina, this, Mr. Editor, fur
a man whose income is under 461. per annum,
arising from the service of three cures, mid whose
difficulties arc not les.ened by a hearty, hungry
Isrooil of eleven children, who daily surround my
table, like so malty lusty olive branches ! However.
by the kind assistance of a subscription a ))))) iigst
the farmers of my. three parishes, I was enabled to
undertake a luuruey of three huridied smiles! and
I, my wife with her sucking child, and our eldest
daughter, to whom we were determined to shew a
little of the world, set out on the expedition in the
Carlisle waggon ; and, after a comfortable jos' pry
of
deritimifion. To save my pocket as much as pos-
sible, (for, it seems, the medical men here do not

eitilaron,

confine their system of draining to the bodies of
their petients aloud), my good-natured fricud the.
apothecary presented one with • gross of pills for
immediate use; assuring me, that, by the aid of
these, together with rigid abstinviee, copious
draughts of the Bath water, (which he told the 1
might have at its real value fer hide or nothing)
and perfect asset, the Woe of my stomach would
be quickly restored. Well, Sirs .'way we rolled
to Bath in our waggon ; but, Lord help 'tile !'
What were we to do when we got there ? We
found the weekly hire of lodgings here us high us
the annual rent of a vot.age in the parish where
we lived. Besides, they were already all oc-
cupied by crowds of great folks. Mine boat, at
the wagon inn, setilig my disuppoiiituient mid
distress, kindly offered to remove them, by letting
me lodge in his owl house • and straitway put inc
and my parts into a very soot:, convenient little
garret at the back of it. Determined to follow
strictly the directions of my friend Gallipet, I took
• dozes of his pills, on the night of my arrival sit
Bath, aith excellent success. As to hisrule of ahsri-
mesh tlwre was not mach danger of my tra nigrersi lig
Mai, as the dirt of myself and family had long liccti
confined to bread and potatoes. I was released,
however, to be no nig;;:ird in the use of the
water (particularly as I thought I could get it for
nothing), and going therefore to the Pimp-room,
the day idler my arrival, I modestly asked fur u
gallon to make a beginnings. But judge of my silt-
pries, Mr. Editor, when I found that they dealt
oat this fluid iu little glasses, not larger than a nip-
perkiu of ale, and charged them at the rate of bd.
avicce. I received the information with silent
astonishment, and, finding myself thus prohibited
room the chief meats of a Bath care, returued dis-
consolate to my lodging, detenniued to trust to
Providence and the pills for relief, and to go back
agaii% to my residence, in the waggon. MA what
strengthened this resolve of returning, when my
week tom out, was the impossibility of my enjoying
in Bath that quiet which my friend Gallipet had
declared to he so accessary to my recovery.—
Quiet at Bath indeed! you might as well expect to
fled silence in • wind-will What, however,
ramie., at snore Mum wally pat. for
.oiie under
112) coniplaint at present, is, its increased confUsion,
just now, from two or three peculiar circumstances.
A few days ago aii impudent scribbler published a
Poem, entitled, " Reselltau in Oath," and cos,
verted the city lido a second Bedlam. The Cor-
partition, afraid, it seems, of any impeachment of
their character for distinguished loyalty, are calling
halls and settling alhiresses, to vindicate them-
selves from having had any /used in the publication ;
a suspicion from which, it is said, the wit of the
work would entirely exculpe'e them. The Masters
of the Ceremonies are entering protests against the
writer and Isis book, as tending to fill the sagacious
noddles of their subjects with rebellious notions ;
and the Clergy are thundering denunciations of
vengeance on the head of the utiacresot who bas
dared to cat-ii-nine-tail some of their brethren.
Another event, too. has occurred to ewell the hub-
bub ; to produce ", confusion worse confounded ;"
and render this place totally unfit for my longer so-
journtnent therein. There are here, you are to
know, Sir, certain edifices, called Fashionable Clue-
psis. fitted up for fine 'Wks alone, where they can
say their prayers unelbewed by the common people,
somewhat like modern Play-hcosses, when. for the
benefit of a particular actor, they are all laid into
boxes. These are independent of the Parish
Chinches, anti hare sa interests in common with them.
As the offerings at one of these Chapels are very
large. and the paris'i in which it stands is very
poor, the Churchwardens of the same have lately
thought fit to demand a portion of them for the
use of their pauper.. But, sacred be the rights of
the Church. and the Chapel too ! "Touch not,
taste not, handle not," says the Clerical Propri-
etor. " I hart the authority of the Bishop for
withholding them—they are Corbin, and most
not be profaned !" In consequence of this refusal,
Churchwardens lad Parsons, parishioners and
chnpellers, ate gone to loggerheads' old men and
maids, young men and matrons, have ranged them-
selves en the sides of the different disputants, and
every thing seems to threaten a speedy renewal of
the kJ, wars. For my part, Mr. Editor, I shall
retreat from this theatre of approaching hostilities,
as quickly as my road-waggon will carry rue eel
but in Christian compassion to the poor people I
leave behind, I could wish to quit them iii the hope
of theit being prevented from proceeding to extre-
mities, and prevailed upon to return to their usual
harmless avocation of w much ado about nothiug."
Let me entreat you, therefore, Sir, to give them a
little good advice in your Paper (which 1 know is
respected at Bath) on this subject, and persuade
them to go on with their fiddling, singing, and
cutting capers, rather than imbrue their hands in
the blood, or entangle their fingers in the wigs, of
each other. By so doing, you will have the thanks
of all the lovers of peace, and greatly oblige

should he stated in the policy. l%lr. Gillett, how-
ever, had negleeten calling at time office, according
to promise, in order to effect the insonance ; which
out being cninpleted previous to the fire, it was at
first doubted by the Insurance office, whether
or Mot he was Hominy entitled to any compena
riwa whatever, although 50001. was afterwards paid
by that office..
Mn Wilkitistm, Clerk at she Phantix Office,
probed that 11r. tiillett had inst.', eal with diem from
the year l'Snu to I with efight variatsons, to Lie
maenad of bout. upon stock in trade, isteosits,

Ou the part of the Defendant there were called,
• Mr. Andrew Wilson, Printer, Is Ito said that lie also
had area the Locket-book in question, the morning
halter the are, and that it did not contain the words
geode in frau', according to t to best of his belief.
• Sir Richard Phillips, boOkseller, in Bridge-
street, deposed. that he re nember;d seeing Mr.
Gillett,* daring the of 'the lire, nail-warty
float issonsiog, at Mr. ii,tor's honor. in Salisbury-
square, where tlit /Mien Mat and his family Wad

Wild the night before. lying ender some Aunt-
ture and rubbish. This cost the Defendant had
previously espremed himself tuitions to find. as it
contained in the pocket a book with memonanda,
some of which were telative to the insurance he
had effected. This book he accordingly found.
and it conteinsd some bills and hank notes. The
Defendant raid to the witness. that there nas some
little uncertainty as to whether or not lie was in-
spired, and therefitre every. thing connected with
that transactimi was of importance. He then
opened the book, and conversed about it. (Being
shi MU annuli book,with red boards,Sir Richard said
that he believed it was the same one he had seen
upon that occasion.) There was nothing
in the pocket-book connected with " goods in
trust." He himself had goods burnt upon that
occasion, hot was insured, as were Messrs. Stock-
dale and Debrett, booksellers. Mr. Gillett break-
fasted with him oil that morning, after the book
had been found. There had been previously a con-
versation between him, Mr Gillett, and some ether
friends. as to how fat Mi.. Gillett was insured ; and
this matter of solicitude had arisen the night before,
when every thing was burning, and in a state of
confusion. Mr. Mawman was present also the
night the fire took plane, but therenoihing
said about the rocket-book at that time; but M the
morning Mr. Galin deplored the loss of his coat
with his book of ' memoranda; but t'ie wit-
ness, and the others present, Mr. Bonsor, and Mr.
AVil.on, told him, that the perticulars of it would
be found at the Insurance-Office. He was only at
that tame anxious' to kuow the exact amount of the
insurance, and Mr. Gillett meaticped to him, that
he was insured to the amount of 6,u001.
Mr. flucketbridge, clerk to Sir Richard, also
deposed shout his having seen a pocket-book pile
(tweed by the Delintlfadt, in Sir MChisrd's.shop, the
morning after the fire ; that it contained the items
for which he bad insured, and that the words
" good* in trust" were not inserted. He had not
been. examined before, it having only lately tot:-
corral' to him that he knew some useful particulars
concerning this pocket-book. Ile tlentitied the
book in question, as being somewhat like the one
he had seen on that occasion.

Mr. Day, Secretary of the Imperial Fire-office,
was also present in Sir Itichard I'llol4lles shop, on
the inorving shaded to ; and although he saw a
pocket-hook, paid little attention to it, as he then
thought Mr. Gillett had no claim upon the office
whatever, and us he war convinced that if there
were any insurance effecter', the items of it•would
atipear at the office. Re recollected of the De-
fendant then reading about tiOool. bat certainly
there were not " goods in trust" mentioned. In a fu-
ture conversatinii at the office, be toM Mr. Gillett
that he would have nothhig to do with goods in
trust, and adeised I* to make ho mention
of such an item ; that he was etisvineed he had
claim ; but that if •he trilled to state
one to the Court of Directors, they would cerr

William Mitchell, a printer, in the service of Mr.'
Gillett, deposed as to Mr. Lane, the bookseller, of
Leadenhall-street, having, in 1790, employed Mr.
Gillett to print a novel ; and, in eonsideration of
his (Mr. G.'s) undertaking the responsibility of in-
surance, he was to pay him an additional shilling
per sheet, that is 185. (iustead of 175.) the change
for printing each sheet.
Charles Burd, in the service of the Defendant,
spoke us to his having applied to Mr. Muwmait's
warehouseman to take away some of the woe hs
that were finished, but could not say he had ap-
plied to him particularly about Amacliariis.
Mr. Serjeant SHETMERD, in an able reply, ani-
madverted upon the testimony of the Defendant's
witnesses. It had been attempted to be shewn
by Wm. Mitchell, that, in 1790, Mr. Gillett had
an additional allowance of Is. upon every sheet, to
indemnify him for the trouble he took in insuring'
Mr. Lane's goods. But this appeared, upon the
face of it, to be very improbable; beettu,e the :sty-
ment of is. upon every 17s. would amount to 5;
per cent. wbile the sum to be paid for imotranee
was only 5, oar cent.; which, iiith Qs. 6d. for the
ditty, amounted only to 7s. 6d. for insuring 001.—
The Jury, if they credited this story, must be-
lieve that none but an idiot would" have paid
nearly 51. 10s. per cent., while, with very little
trouble, he might have effected the insurance him-
self at the rate of PI- CA per cent.
The Loan Lint? Jlsrrce, in his address, stated
the nature of this action, and ob.,erved, that it en-
tiroly rested upon the credit they were disposed to.
givwto the witnesses upon one side or the other, as
they were very contradictory. if the ti,dimonies of
Bolisor, Paterson, aid Newby, were believed, it
would put the matter he)ond all doubt, as they
cotiortned um: u no: tier in n molt probable stori
Mr. Gillett must vidently have been stating some-
about goods in trust to Mi. Day, otherwise
there a mild have lis.vai na ;occasion lor that Gentle-•
man to advise him to put in his claim Individually.
W •• regard to the story told Is) Sir Richard Phil-
lips, ms, I eoekelbridge and Mr. Wilson, as to the
book, it was 41 inconsistent with the other testi-
mony, that it apps reel as if it were ai.other book,
of a similar appearance, they were speaking
Aecording.as they believed tt r evidence of these
witnesses, it must Ise presumed thit a gr. at deal of
error had taken place en the ride or the other.
The Jury, alter a iniuute's consideration, gave a
verdict for the Plaintiff, fur iOB6l.

have drifted from their anchors in the Downs, and
drove past here, and several have brought up in

to the westward, without anchor or cable,
having parted from one in the Downs ; she after-
wards brought up off here, but driving foul of ano-
