bare here given a mere outline of the Fable,
which in itself is interesting, but which is expanded
to much too great. a_length in the representation.—
The plot, 'in some„.l:-espeas, bears a resemblance to
that Of "Avers', =.;, _and it were mbre condensed.
would be mtip More affe&ing. The Piece altog*ther
may be considered as the offs.pring 'of a poetical
mind ; it contains tnneh descriptive imagery, Which
is well• conceived, and .Welt expressed, but which.
is toe often introduced in places that shOuld be, oc7
reupied by at.tion or by•passion. The mind is not
SM-liciently prepared for the appearance of the Fie-
roine, who btirsts .at, once upon the audience in a
~ state of vehement emotibti. The first interview be-
tween Altenturg and Matilda, in which the latter
conceals •her Self under a veil, is very interesting, awl
the irnaginatidn is- kept in an anxious doubt .ot. the
event: The -cleep contrition and intense ,agonies
whiCh prevail in the Mind of 111(2614 excite an
eXpeatition- of a more terrific; diseldsure than she
afterwards makes, though a departure froth Virtue
and -the concealment of a child from its parent msy
be supposed-to be the cause of severe inquietude in
an amiable • charkter, bitwever unjustly treated,
as the heroine Alai!. :been ‘deceiVed into a Pro-.
inise of reparation by her. seducer, -and as she had
trained the child whom she had withdrawn to.the
Most virtuous habits; .her emotions anight• have been
supposed to have -been. niarked by sorrow rather tlihn
by Rich bitter self-reproach, and a state of I-nisei),
bordering upon the mildness of despair. But, upon
the •whole, the Piece excites.much sympathy, and,
if its redundancies were reMoved, would foore pow-
erfully operate upon the feelings. The senti7
nients are natural; and are conveyed in corrett
and elegant • Janguage. Tlie Charaaers,. if hot
distingu:;shed by. novelty, are well . discriminated
and diversified, and there is a mixture of pleasantry
that relieves the melancholy parts, and pf6vents
them'from pressing too. heavily on the atfections.---••
The Piece. IS' also considerably relieved by some
pleasing airs, Which are well composed .by KELLY
rind ATTWOOD.

The Authoi is much indebted to the Performers,
Who exerted thetrisely es with great, zeal and ability,
pat-tit:Wady' Miss- SMITH, Mr. C. KElli.6,` 11oN-
DEN, LISTON, and CooKE, Mrs. MATToceis also
deserves a distinct notice, as weitas Miss BRUNTON.
Mrs. C. IiEELE too is a powerful agent t4' the
Author. The House was crowded ; the piece in
its progress was very well received, and was an-
nounced for repetition with the loudest approbation
of the audience.

Sin---The impudent libel posted abotit the town
this day, accusing me of having uttered on the bust-
ing' s yesterday the most foul and illiberal abuse of
the Doke Of I.:eoitTHIJNIIIEULAND, and charging his
Grace with ',having previously, by circular letters
done the same towards she, is really such a wretched
'expedient of despairing prOfliipiey,,that I can scarce-
ly bring myself to condescend to notice it. There
rritist.have been at least A thousand auditors who
heard every word I said y'fsterday on the hustings,
and who know that 1 did not then speak, as I ne-
ver have in any other place, or any other occasion,
one disrespeafrit word of the Duke of iNoteritum-
intiLANn. I was happy to have it corroborated
from you to-day; 'that the assertion of .the Duke
'having sent round such letters to the Vestries as are
chncribed in thts 'atrocious libel, 'or of his Grace's
Friends having for a moment thought of supporting

, As the friends of Sir FR ANC IS BUR nETT now begin
to see little chance of his being roomed as a Member
for Middlesex, a meeting took place on Saturday last
at Hudson's Hotel, Uwent-Garden, for the purpose
of entering into a subscription to defray the expence
of carriages for the Elect ,rs hi his interest--4ew
people having so much regard tbr him as to walk
to Brentford, dr to put themselves to the expence of
a conveyance. Mr. CLIYVORD, the Barrister, pro-
posed, that as Mr. MELLisit might be considered as
secure of his ele6tion, all the friends of Sir FRANCIS
should Vote for hint in cm-1313116E0n with the for-
trier, declaring that he had that day given his vote
in this Manner. Mr. Vehemently opposed
this proposal as a scandalous compromise.
CIIFKIRD was riot permitted tb reply, and a sub-
scription was then opened. Thus we See that Sir
FitASbig is obliged to violate his own declaration of
not providing carriages.,--for the ati of this meeting
must be considered as his aa. We see too with
satisfadlibit, that his friends find ,it in vain to op-;
pose Mr. MELLISH. We hope they will be equally
unsuccessful against Mr. Bvt for after such
principles as Sir Fli4Ncts has expressed, orally .and
in his Address to the Freeholders of Middlesex, it
becomes 'them to clnisd any man attached to' the
Constitution rather than 6tfch a 441 and dupe.

COURT OF kING'S 13ENCI-T, Nov.• Ts.

Th.e. Court was occupied from half past nine thiS
morning 'at:it long after twelve. o'clock in justi ry-
sing bail: :Fo'r•rnany years past. there has not been
known such a nutOer ; per Sons justified in near 150.
causes, most 9f which Were for very trifling sums.

• .;THE ESA.
-In this case, the nature 'of which we have already
stated in former Papers,
ThekitOßNEY-GEELIAL, on behalf of the Pro-
Secution, informed their Lordships, that in conse-
quence of his objeaion to the Defendant's former
affidavit, not stating sufficiently, the tiiateriality.- of
the'evidence he wished toe.kain from the West;
dies; that Gentlettab had made a supplemental
affidavit, 'in which he stated, that Major-General
Maitland, and the five. other Gentlemen mentioned
in his former affidavit, were acquainted with 'seve-
ral of dealings. and transaaions with MatheW
,Fliggins, before mentioned. -He aico added the
name of William Winton, as another Witnesk-to.be
ekiimined on his behalf. This person had been the
clerk and book-keeper of Higgins, acid. kept all the
accounts of stores, forage, Eke. 'supplied for the'
King's troops. Fle further stated, that the testi-
mony of these several persons was necessary to his
deferic4', and denied positively, that the apPlication
Was for any purpose of delay. The, Learned Coun-
`sel-s-aid, that under these ciecCimstances, 4 Would be
indecorous in,him to give any.further opposition to
granting- the inandetnus; and if' their LOrdships
thought pfoper-to make an order to that 'efle&, the
next question was, to whom the mandqtnis should
be direCted ? The only depositthat he knew of, for
the judiciftl proceedings of the West Todia
was, the Secretary of State's Office for the Colonial
Department, and the Colcocil Office. Search had
been made intheSe, offices, the result of which, he...
found to be, that originally 'the Courts of Judi.-
eature in the Island of Barbadoes, consisted of
Court of King's Bench, or Grand Court of Sessions,.
and a Court of Common Pleas; tint in The year
100 all=-Ac` passed'consolidating all these Courts
'under the general title of the Grand Court of
Judicature, coMposed of a ChiefJustiee and.other
Judges, In Dominica there was like Wise a Court
of Common Pleas, but this was not a standing
Court, and only called twice a-year by commission,
at the will and pleaspre of the Govethor-General,'
who was the Supreme Judge, assisted by all the
Justices of the, Peace in the country'. With respe&
to Gransda, an Island very little larger than the
Isle of Wight, be found it divided into five precinEls,
each of which had it's clstin'Et and separate Conti of
.COmtuen Pleas, There- was also a, Court of Error
and a Court of Chancery, with two oti!er ordinary
Courts of Justice; in ah of which the Governor-
'General and Council presided the cornier as Su.-
preme Judge. There was also a nominal Court of
Exchequer,. with a Chief Baron and ,three junior
Judges. 'These several Judges were all of them
oamets ; and other gentlemen of the Island, and,
the only regular-bred professional men belonging to
'these Courts ofJudicature, were.the Attorney and
Solicitor-General. The Learned Counel therefore
ttought, the-beat mode, to fiAlew would be to !,a7,-ti
the several mandwia,ses, directed to the Chief :and
other judges, 'the Governor-General, Sze. .He then
moiied for similar Writs of Mandanius„ to be issued ,
-and directed in the same way, and for the same pour-
prise, on behalf of the CroCkin . •

- Mr. PARKE, for the Defendantosstired the Court,'
that he did not, wish to impede their proceedings N
any way whatever and therefore no objection
to the Attorney-General'sappliarion,
The Rules for Manctuhusis; on either side, were
accordingly made absolute.

SActsrantr.—On Thursday last a pOst-chaioe
was hired at the king's Arms Tun, in this City, to
go beyond Collingbourne.—After setting dawn his
fare, the driver was returning at night towards Cel-
lingbourne, a dreary road, with which he waF;unab-
quainted, and it-was so dark as to :take it impossitjle
to see the road. Thus situated, he nnfortunately
drove over a precipice, at the.hottom of which be
was found dead the. next morning.. The chaise was
nearly broker to pieces, and the :.;:o much
hurt as to render them nearly utliess. The drifter
(Michael Elliott) was about 24 years old; and bore
