ST. GEORGE'S HOSPITAL.

The attacks which have been directed against
this Hospital, though malevolent and unjust,
have made such an unfavourable impression on
the public mind, that the GOVERNORS have
.thought proper to come forward with a printed
vindication of the conduct of the Institution in
all the cases that have recently been misrepre-
sented, and given occasion to suspicion and even
obloquy. The pamphlet is plain, clear, and sa-
tisfactory. It states that a weekly Board is held,
which is an open Committee that meets every
Wednesday in the Board-Room of the Hospital.
•4' All Governors are members of the Weekly
Board, and it is considered that they add very
materially to their benevolence, by attend-
ing its meetings."—" Questions to the following
effect are regularly put to those who are leaving
the Hospital:"--Have you any complaint to
make ? Have you observed any 'thing improper ?-
I f so, tell us, for the good of those that are in the
House, and of those who may come hereafter.
Have you been treated with kindness and atten-
tion by the nurses and those who had to attend
you ? Have you or your friends given the nurses
any money, or any thing else, or been asked
for any," &c. &c. These questions, and others
.doubtless of the same tendency, calculated to
support and promote the credit of the Institution,
must give satisfaction to the subscribers, for
though they may sometimes be answered with
timidity, sometimes from interested motives, some-
times from resentment and malevolence, yet
they are proper in themselves, and it cannot be
doubted that the Gentlemen assembled, whp
have to support their own reputation as well
as the credit of the establishment, carefully
consider those answers, and give them all the
weight they may deserve, and form deductions
accordingly. The four cases mentioned in
-this pamphlet which seemed to expose the go-
vernment of the Hospital to suspicion and cen-
sure, have already been submitted to the Public,
and the explanation brie given is calculated to re-
move all false and injurious impressions ; to vin-
dicate the conduct of the Governors; and to jus-
tify the management of this ufeful and meritori-
ous Institution. As it is evident that none but men
of professional eminence can he appointed to the
medical chirurgical departments of the Establish-
ment, and as the Governors must also consist of
the most respectable characters, we doubt not,
that the statement in this pamphlet will effec-
tually remove all prejudice, and restore the con-
dance of the Public.
London, England, 1825-10-14

THE THEATRES.

DRURY-LANE.---Mr. BOOTH made his second
appearance last night at this Theatre. The cha-
racter that he assumed was Richard the Third.
There is a natural resemblance between him and
Mr. KEAN in size and general figure, and this
resemblance seems to be the consequence of
an apparent studious imitation. It appears now
that Mr. BOOTH is as anxious to divest himself
of all resemblance to Mr. KEAN as he was be-
fore to acquire a similitude ; but habit is not
easily subdued, and, " Willy nilly," Mr. Boom
is still in a great measure another Mr. KEAN.
As we never joined the specious popular cry
in favour of Mr. KEAN, and never was one
of his admirers, we must confine our praise
of Mr. BOOTIE to the exertions of his ori-
ginal powers. He was cold last night in the
earlier scenes, no doubt for the purpose of re-
serving his strength to exert it on the more trying
occasions towards the conclusion. We saw no-
thing in his performance to call for elaborate ex-
amination, and still less for much commendation.
He is an actor, in our opinion, possessing more
spirit than judgment ; but much allowance must
be made for an actor who assumes a part that
has been hackneyed in the public eye and ear,
and therefore cannot be expected to make a
strong impression. To do justice to Mr. BOOTH,
it may be fairly observed, that if he is not cal-
culated to satisfy the critical few, and very few
there are, he is well qualified• to gratify a mixed
audience, and therefore may well pass muster
with the Public at large. The rest of the cha-
racters were supported by performers who have
often been seen in the same characters, and there-
fore call for no additional comment.
CovENT-GAnnEN.—The excellent and divert-
ing old Comedy of A Wife Never Vexed, or The
Widow of Cornhill, was the dramatic treat of
last night. The only novelty in the performance
was the appearance of Mr. WA ROE in the cha-
racter of the Elder Foster. Mr. WAttnE had the
disadvantage of following Mr. YOUNG, a judi-
cious and justly popular actor, whose judgment,
practice, and knowledge of life enabled him to
give theatrical precision to the design of the au-
thor, and the merit of his performance is too re-
cent in recollection to be easily effaced. Con-
tending with the just conception and established
form which Mr. YOUNG had given to the charac-
ter in question, Mr.WARDE made a very respect-
able stand, and deserved the applause that
awaited him. The Comedy is so well supported
by Mr. KESIBLE, as well as by Messrs. EGER-
TON, BLANCHARD, Miss LACY, and Miss CHES.
.TER, that it will most probably be soon repre-
sented again, and then we shall have a better
opportunity of forming a due estimate of the
merits of Mr. WARDE.

EXTENSIVE SWINDLING.

Havrot-GArtnEx.—Another of those often repeated
tricks which the cupidity of tradesmen allow to be played off
upon them' was investigateo. at this office yesterday. A
tall
young man, of deep olive complexion, and dressed in the first
style of fashion, was charged with having swindled .141 r. Wing-
field, the proprietor of the White Hart Hotel, Holborn, out of
the accommodation of a sitting-room and bed-room, with the
necessary accompaniments
,of soups and vermicelli, wine and
walnuts, for the space of two entire days, in figures 61. 3s. 34.__
The gentleman palmed himself upon the Botel-keePer
a Mr. Boller, a Demarara proprietor, from which place
he had only just arrived, and that his luggage was still on
board the vessel lying at the docks. He then asked' icre
could be accommodated with a pair of horses and a servant, as
he was particularly partial to riding. Mr. Wingfield saidt.he
had better apply to some of the livery stable keepers, and Men-
tioned the name of one, Mr. Anderson, of Gray's Inn7lane..The
hint was taken, and the following day the gentleman turned out
in the very first style, mounted on a beautiful blood mare„ And
attended by a smartly cockaded groom, and agreed to pay
.for
the " establishment" the vulgar stipend of 20 guineas Ter
month during pleasure. Thus equipped, the supposed Nabob
found little difficulty in obtaining goods to any extent in the
neighbourhood.
Serjeant Sr Liow—HaYe you any friends or acquaintance
in London to whom you can refer ? '
Prisoner—Oh ! yes, several Genileinen of ilia* celptecta-
bility. Sergeant Rough knoivir Inc and my connexionS;*.-4ndia
perfectly well. , " •
It finally appeared by a letter found on the prisoner that his
name was -Rogers, though he assured' the Magistrat.e"Pafti.in
ass Urning the - fictitious one of Boller he hp& DO, imjirßper
motive. ' Ai the prisoner could mat pay the several persons who
al•!,eared to make claims on him he was remanded for further
exurnination.

TERRIFIC FLIGHT.

DOVER, SEPT. 5.---The Terrific Flight, as it was
announced, of Mr. COURTNEY, the American Phe-
nomenon, frotn the Heights at Dover, to the
Rope-walk in the Bay, took place this evening
about five o'clock. In consequence ofhand-billa
being distributed for some time previous, an in-
tense interest pervaded the inhabitants and visi-
tors, who assembled in such number to wit-
ness the fact, as we believe have not met to-
gether here since the disembarkation of the
late Queen. A rope of two and a half inches
in circumference, and two hundred and thirty
fathoms or four hundred and sixty yards is
length was wade fast to an anchor on the Heights.
and stretched to a capstern of the Rope-a all,
not so tight but that a segment was formed by a
prop being placed near the end. Every necessary
preparation being made, he was suspen• ed under
the rope by stays or braces at the shoulders,
waist, and one foot, at each of which parts a
sheaved block traversed on the rope ; having
both hands at liberty, he waved a small red 11,-ig
in each, which being contrasted with his white
dress, had an imposing effect. He was started off
the precipice bead foremost, amidst the shouts of
thousands,and the velocity with w hickhe descend ed
is almost incredible; the'friction of the blocks on,
the rope caused them to smoke considerably,and in
rust nineteen seconds from the time of his depar-
ture, he reached nearly to the opposite side of
the Pent, when an accumulation of mud cm t
rope, and the segment thereof, caused him to
atop rather abruptly, and he was taken into a
boat apparently somewhat exhausted, a R.ti
brought to shore. We understand, should th-e
subscriptions making for him answer his wisho,
he intends making another descent front a hiOnr
part of the Cliff down to the Pier-head.--

Reynard left the downs as fast as he could, anti bent his course
towards the brooks at Landport, and on to the margin of the
riven, which he kept until he had passed the paper-mill, when
lie gallantly took to the water, and was quickly on the opposite
shore, to the no small mortification of a numerous field of sports-
men, the whole of whom declined the distinction of following,
otherwise than by a helter-skelter pnrsuit through the Cliffe,
to renew the chace on the other side of the river, which they
at length effected, and just in time to see the fox run to earth
in a drain at WeHingham, which was prohibitory to the spade,
and thus gave Rey 'lard quiet possession of his strong hold,

to go to the church (not far from Faversham) by different
routes. In this manner the intended bride, her maid, and the
father arrived, but no appearance. of a bridegroom ; at length,
however, a messenger arrived—a little boy (not Cupid) with
the melancholy tidings, that the inconstant swain had changed
his mind !—(Kentish Chronicle.)

COMMISSION INTELLIGENCE.
(Freon the Dublin Correspondent Jan. 1. )
About one o'clock the Loan MArott, and the Judges Moore
and Vandeleur, proceeded in State to open the Commission in
Green-street. The Session Court was unusually crowded, from
the anxious wish manifested by all present to hear their Lord-
ships' Charge, which, of course, would refer to the indictment
pending against Mr. O'Connell, for the seditious expressions
attributed to him, as uttered in the Roman Catholic Association.
The Clerk of the Crown then called on the High Sheriff Warren
for the precept, which being presented to him, and proclamation
made for the Jury, the panel was called over. It contained a
great number of names, and those who did not attend were called
on tines of 10/. each. A little before the Judges appeared on the
Bench Mr. O'Connell entered the Court, habited in his gown, and
took his place in the centre of the Council, and immediately
under B. Rickey, Esq. the Clerk of the Crown. The Lord Mayor
and the Judges entered the Court about half-past one o'clock,
and took their places on the Bench. Previous to the arrival of
the Judges, the following Counsel appeared on the part of Mr.
O'Connell, and occupied nearly the entire of the space about
the table usually allotted for the Gentlemen of the Bar :
Messrs. Wallace, Holmes, Perrin, H. Walsh, Shell, Graydon,
Bethel, and Bric. The only Counsel who appeared on the
part of the prosecution was John S. Townsend, I.:sq. K.C.

treated they may not be put on the Jury, as they attended the

fused the application. .

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS—(Tuts Day.)

TRIAL OF SAMUEL SHARPE, LETTER-SORTER.
The Judges were occupied the whole of the
morning in hearing the case a4ainst this indivi-
dual, who stood charged with stealing a letter
containing notes to the amount of 3,0001. on the
24th of October last, from the General Post
Office, where he was'employed as a letter-sorter.
The facts of the case were fully stated on the
examination of the prisoner at the Mansion House.
ThoP. Venables, Esq. private Secretrry to the
[tight Hon. Mr. Peel, gave the prisoner a very
excellent character, as did the Keeper of Hyde
Park, and several other gentlemen.
At.r. Justice GAZALEE summed up the evidence
to the Jury, who found the prisoner " Guilty
of secreting the letter with intent to appropriate
the postage to his own use."—A question will
consequently arise for the opinion of the Twelve
Judges.

NEW COURT—anis DAY.)
STREET ROBBER T.--.lames Smith, aged 17,
deaf and dumb, was indicted for stealing, on the
19. th November, in the parish of St. George's,
Bloomsbury, a silk handkerchief value 6s. front
the person of the Rev. Henry Daniels. The
prosecutor said he was looking, on the lath ult.,
in a window in Broad-street, St. Giles's, when
he felt something at his back, and on turn-
ing round, saw the prisoner running away and.
escaping through a crowd of persons. Witness
suspected the prisoner, and on feeling his pocket
missed the property, which he had in his hand
only two minutes before. On his purNuing, the
prisoner he threw the handkerchief a way. lie was
positive that the prisoner was the lad who robbed
him. The evidence against the prisoner was in-
terpreted by his brother through signs. iie made
no defence, and the Jury pronounced him

prosecutor most strongly recommended
him to mercy on account of his afflictions.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
BODY SNATCHlNG.—Yesterday James Gerrard was in-
dicted fin. a misdemeanor in entering a burial ground, with
intent to steal dead bodies. Ellerston and Grange, two
paupers, were stationed, the one with a gun, the other with a
pistol, to watch the ground ; and it appeared that Grange
snapped his pistol at the prisoner, but fortunately it missed fire.
The CHAIRMAN, in summing up, said that the offence which
it was charged these men intended to commit, would, had it
been committed, have amounted to only a misdemeanour, and
the attempting it, therefore, could not be more. The parish
had employed the witnesses to watch the ground, and had given
them arms, and in so doing be could not say that they had
done wrong,hut then the using of those arms, as one of them ad-
mitted having done, was another and more serious affair, the
offence being, as he had before observed, only a misdemeanour.
If, indeed, the pistol was used in defence of his life, he was
justified in so doing, hut if not another and a very different sen-
timent would be entertained by the country. Gerrird being
found guilty, the Court sentenced him to seven days imprison-
ment, declaring that it imposed so light a pena'ty solely be-
cause his life had been improperly put in jeopardy.
