A Case which, doubtless, will be interesting to con•
doctors of the Press, and to the Public, has been strongly
recommended to their notice in the Literary Gazette. It
is that of a Christian Patriot, and Universal Philanthropist,
who ought. not to continue on a barren eminence, after
devoting his best energies to the service of his country
and his kind. " He is a literary Gentleman, who has
been the victim of his uncalculating devotion to the
cause of virtue and humanity ; who has saved more lives
and liberated more prisoners than any other individual ;
and respecting whose benevolence, usefulness, and talents,
there are the most honourable testimonials from persons
of all parties, sects, and ranks. He has been encouraged
to publish both a crown and a pound edition of his nume-
rous useful and interesting Works, for which subscriptions
in cash, or post-office orders, ‘rill be received by several
respectable Bankers. As an amiable young female fa-
mily arc deeply interested in this case, it is deemed
prudent to suppress a name, which for more than a
quarter of a century has been associable with most ge-
nerous and successful efforts. Several Noblemen, Pre-
lates, Officers, Ladies and Gentlemen, have been liberal
subscribers for three, four, and five copies of the larger
edition : and additional subscriptions for " A Public
Writer's Works" may be forwarded to the Banks of Messrs.
Herries and Co., St. James's-street ; Ransom and Co., Pall-
mall ; Praed and Co. Fleet-street ; Puget and Co., St. Paul's
Church. yard ; Vcres and Co., Lombard-street, London;
L ttouch and Co., Dublin ; or Forbes and Co., Edinburgh,
where copies of the testimonials have been lodged.—John
ROL—[Having seen some of the Testimonials above alluded
to, we have reason to believe that the description given by
our Contemporary is correct, and that the Gentleman to
whom it refers is in every respect deserving of public pa-
tronage.—En. Morning Herald.]
FRACAS AT COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—
This theatre was on Wednesday evening the scene of con-
siderable disturbance, in consequence of a quarrel which
occurred between Mr. Collins and Mr. Henry Wallack,
stage-manager. The affray originated in Mr. Wallack, for
some reason, having threatened to knock down Mr. Collins,
who, considering himself aggrieved, addressed the audience
at some length, who warmly espoused his cause ; and re-
peated calls for the stage-manager soon brought Mr. Wal-
lack on the stage ; but, affording no explanation of his con-
du.:,t, he retired. The tumult which ensued baffles de-
scription. At last Mr. Golfing left the theatre, followed by
Peter

Mr. Wallack ; so the affair at present remains.

Brooke, and of Mr. Campbell, of Islay, were drank with en-

evening. There was a dinner party of 100 at Islay House,
and in the evening a splendid ball and supper.
