FRI.US WARD.

In this case, the Defendant had given his bond
to the Mandl, ne se•curity for the maintenance of an
illegitiniste child, which had been sworn against
per.oil or the name of Lawrence. It was tried
before :11r. Ju.tier I3ay'lrr, at the sittings slier last
Michaelmas •Perm, when a verdict was ftiond for
the Plaintiffs, suhject to a ease. The pleas set up
in defence were, first, now ert fisctune and, second,
that the Plaintiffs should have proved the b I un-
der the commis) of bankruptcy which had is-
sued against the Defendant. This latter pled wits
the point reserved.
Alter hearing Counsel in support of, and against
the objection--
The Counr held, unanimously, that the Plain-
tiffs could not have proved the bond under the
commission, inasmuch as it was impossible for them
to declare what expense the maintenance of the
child, who might he afflicted with sickness, would
create. The bond, Theodore, remained a valid
security. This was the more necessary, as it was
proper that the Parish should be, as far us pu.sible,
indemnified for the support ol• children thus edit
upon them. The Court, therefore, would not dis-
turb the verdict.

In the course of the day. an individual, who
stated that his name was Williams. Mid Out lie
was a clergymen, ruse to address the Court. lie
said, he had n►nny grievances to complain of—and
lie called fur the protection of their Lordships. He
would not have addressed them in person, had he
not been deceived by several barristers and attor-
ne)s, who had conspired against him.
Lord ELLENBOIWUGH said, if he had any state-
ment to m.►kr, it must be founded on an affidavit.
If lie were prepared with a document of that kind.
the Court would hear him in his proper time.
After the bar had been gone through, Lord
ELLUNBOROUGH inquired whether lie had any
uffidavit read• ?
Mr. WILLIAMS stated that he had not—and was
again procreiliiig to state the hardships of his case,
and to complain of a conspiracy of Barristers and
Solicitors against him—when
Lord ELLestoottouGti informed him that the
Court could not bitten to attacks on individuals

exposing it to perpetael and conflicting revolatioss.
Happily the shock and conflict of the Disposing par•
ties present this advantage, that their reciprocal
contrary efforts tend continually to neutralise
their strength, ■nd by reducing both to an equal
debility, naturally replaces tlivrn under the influ-
ence of a wise and well-regulated Government.
This, in u few wordy, developer to us our future.

The Government will proceed *ills the Charter, it
will defend the Charter, and be defended by it.
The Charter is neither democratic nor aristocratic—
it is the Royal Government, supported by institu-
tions whereby every right and interest are alike
supported and defended. The aristocracy and de-
mocracy will alike strive to imprint its peculiar
character upon the law, and both will censure
those laws and acts that may he conceived in a
spirit hostile to its wishes, but it will be the duty
of the Government to oppose itself frankly to both
extremes.

In pursuing this coarse. the Government
will be opposed to both parties. but it will have the
nation with it; the conflict will be sometimes pain-
ful, hot it will never he dangerous. Moreover.
the contest will each year become less difficult'

DRURY:LANE THEA7'RE.

The pleasing comedy of The Poor Centkinan
was last night performed. Mr. MUNDCN per-
rousted the testy but good-natured Sir Robert
Bramble. A considerable time has elapsed slime
we had the pleasure of seeing him support this cha-
racter—and while, during his absence, we have
witnessed the efforts of many copies, we have only
had cause, superadded to came, for lamenting the
absence of' the original. Mr. Mem' played, last
night. with infinite humour. The argumentative
disposition of the worthy Baronet, which tits him
for the rank of Senior Wrangler at one of the Uni.
varsities, was presented to the audience, in the most
amusing shape—and the more serious parts of the
character, where the feelings of nature overcome the
follies of is vicious education, were very powerfully
acted. The part of Frederick was, on the whole,
well supported by Mr. STANLIM. He was, how.
ever, happier in those parts of the character which
approach the seutimentel, than in its more light
and lively displays. Mr. HAZLET rendered Cor-
nett Blies Apothecary (Moped, a most amusing, if
not important, persotrige. His anger was truly
laughable. it reminded us of the effervescence
of a sodaie mixture—hiss. bubble, and, in a
moment, subside, Corporal Foss was repre-
sented by Mr. OXIIIRRY. We never before saw
this Gentleman in the character...but we doubt
much whether it was ever played better. Stephen
' Harrotcbm was excellently supported by Mr.
KNICIIT. Stephen's simplicity of manners—his
-mischievous thirst of setilintary glory, which spares
neither pigs nor poultry—his honest warmth of
heart—and uniform kindness of intention—were
united by this popular performer in one fine picture
of rustic simplicity and feeling. hatily Worthington

telligeot representative. 'Else bit of ri decayed
' nobility," Miss Lucretia Mac Tab, could not, in
the hoods of Mrs, SPARES, fail of creating much
amusement. She dres'sed the character uncoininouly
well—and gave much effect to all the observations,
satirical, abusive. and sometimes adulatory, of this
seedy paktum** of poor familite.

nations to VIIIPMI offices id State. Count Cho-

removal of Baron Simmer f Constantinople In
Trieste, seems to be confirmed. The unhappy
death of his sou, who was carried off by the plague,
his so greatly sffected him, that he has begged the
Emperor to meld him from Isis post as soon NS
possible. Counsellor Von Brenstir is epokeis of

however, much to be doubted whether Mr. Vote

long article to refine a pretended letter from 80.

miskong for the reception of distinguished visitors
at Prague, is again brought forward. At the same
time, the sully assert' that the Austrian Observer
was the cause of the disappearance of certain Ger-
man and other Papeis from the Austrian Post
Office lists, is treated as it deserves—and it is
plainly declared, that this measure has doubtless
been caused merely by the tendency of these Pa-
pers themselves. The great iiiiinher of other Pa-
per., both German and forei4n, which have re-
mained upon the lists, and the not inconsiderable
number of Newspapers, and other periodical Jour-
nals, that have been lately added to them, aulll-

pretended influence of the Austrian Observer.—

The canvass for this county continues to inereme
in interest. It appears that the friends and brother
of Mr. Brougham have made such progress In his
favour, that it has been necessary for the present
Alembers (the two Molls of the Lord brownout,
the Earl of Lonothilt) to lessee London rather pre-
cipitately. before the Committees hint mode their
Greets Bug Report, anal on the eve of a Bill of In-
demnity. when their never-failing support of Aliiii-
sters would have been doubly useful. The Mem-
bers are going through a regular canvass of the
county, atid nine-tenths of the freeholders will have
au opportunity of peeing (what they have not done
in that county for upwards of half a century) the
faces of their Representatives, so called. Mr.
Brougham is a native of that county, and de-
scended from one of its most ancient families. His
Parliamentary duties have detained him in Lon-
don, as stated in his address to the freeholders.
—We have seen his second address, slated from the
" House of Commons," in which the new candi-
date seems fully to enter into the spirit and bustle
of the contest. " I offer yogi my hearty congratu-
lations on the signal success which is attending your
exertions. Go on as you have begun and your in-
dependence is for ever secured ; but do not relax
in your efforts flout confidence in your own
strength. As long as a 'Jingle part of the county
remains inactive let your attention be directed
to rouse it. .411 must hear a part in the strug-
gle; the honour of the victory must be shared by
all. The moment that I can leave my duties in
this place, I shall be with you, to encourage and to
partake of your labours. I shall visit every corner
of our county, which, from the gallant spirit it now
displays, every one of us must be proud of belong-
ing to. I shall expect to meet you in public, that
you may inquire into my Parliamentary conduct, of
which I challenge the strictest investigation. Our
opponents will then have many opportunities of ex-
plaining theirs; and those who remain undeter-
mined may decide between us. Bot the cause is
yours, not mine; anal all I desire is to be the in-
strument of restoring your intlependeuce."

A lIOAX.

A enrions hoax hes been practised within these
few days on the Subscribers to the Opera. A
circular letter, purporting to come from the King's
Theatre in the name of Mr. Kelly (who, Ity-thr-
bye. is totally innocent of the stair, as he is now
at Brighton for the recovery of his health), an:
flouncing the brilliant engagements made by Mr.
Waters for the next Opera season, and inviting the
Heads of the Boxes to apply to Mr. Chambers, the
hanker, for a return of 37/. 10*. of the subscrip-
tion paid by them last season, according to the Re-
solutions of the Noble Committee at the close of
the Theatre.

This letter hits been sent ronnd. and we under.
stand that several Ladies have actually applied to
Mr. Chambers for the money !

period assembled together in any Throve is Beropet but
at salaries enormous beyond all precedent, even although
Mr. Chambers bad agreed to parantee their due payment;

that 'Fatima such (hawker's) guarantee, lat should not have
bee. able to prevail upon a single singer or enter to name

moors industriously circulated abroad respecting him and

cate to the Subscribers, and other Noble Persons above
alluded to, who may take the trouble of calling in Florid-

that Gentleman, as his banker, to return to she Subscribers
of last season, 371. Ins. of the subscription of each of their
boxes, according to the Resolutions of the Noble Commit-
tee of Subscribers, published from the Thatched House, in
Just last ; and which, however hard he may conceive it to
bear noon him, Mr. Watera is nevertheless determined to
submit to, as indeed Mr. K. lead always, as a faithful coun-
sellor, aileired him • and Mr. Chambers has a correct hat of
the names of the dobscribers entitled to the re-payment of
the above sum. All which information Mr. Waters has
charged Mr. Kelly (as his ostensible Mnger) to communi-

very great pleasure in thus obeying.

racters lately returned from transportation, were brought up
for examination, on three separate charges.
The Primmer,' went into the Castle, at Cow-cross, about
half-past ten o'clock tan the preceding night, and without
any provocation, made a general attack on all the persons in
the house indiscriminately, knocking some down, kicking
other,, &c. and with great difficulty they were secured
and conveyed to the watch-house; here their conduct was
equally violent, they tore up the boards of the floor, de-
molished the benches' and with the broken pieces at-
tempted to break the door, and destroy the watch louse;
the watchman produced the broken fragments, anti exhibited
their own minks, hi confirmation of their statement. The
watch-house keeper sent for Brown the officer, who, with am
pistance, eutive)ed them to the stronzwoom at this office, which
the Prisoners made au ineffectual attempt to destroy. The
public house girl likewise made a charge against them fur
aassulting her. The Prisoners were committed to prison,
sad oftlercd to give 24 hours' notice of bail.

We learn, that about three weeks ago, a boat,
with foorteen men, and well armed, was captured
off the mouth of the Perdido, by a detachment
from the garrison of the Bareness. She proved to
be the Custow-house boat that was stolen some
three months ►ince, and which in all probability is
the same that committed a number of piracies in
the river Mississippi. The men are in prison at
Pensacola, and should that place be surrendered to
the Spaniards, their fate will be woful indeed.
