Lord Moraa's late honourable and laudable
conduct was in. perfect accordance with that by
which the truly Noble Earl's principles haye ever
been distinguished, whether in relation to his
KING or his PRINCE. In the letter, addressed by
his Lordship to Cblonel WMAnoN, so far back
as the year .1797, after the failure of a negocia-
tion for forming an Administration, to• which be
had been invited by independent, men of all par-
ties, says—" stated, that I' must decline coming
in, unless his Majesty would 'graciously consent
to three conditions—to endeavour to procure an
immediate peace—the tranquilization of Ireland,
by a just . and lenient system of Government, and
a. full disclosure to the nation of our financial dif-
fiCulties, in order to. justify the call for those
heavy contributions that would be. requisite to re-'
establish credit. Of my friends ,I demand this
condition—that ,no removal shall be made.in the
Household, Post-Office, Ana, or any other de-
narfm_mt not immediately connected With 'Go-
cernment— To this they most readily assented. My
View was to profess that I would not form to my-
self a party." The above letter was conninani-
cated to Mr. Fox, who', after thanking, the Co-
lonel for the communication', 'says---" Lord
MoiaA's conduct appears to me to have been
what I never doubted it would be—. hanourable and
judicious." Mr. Fox would not have haggled and
bargained.about the three Sticks. •
Miss JOANNA BAILLIE, who may be considered
"as the first dramatic writer of the present day, 'is
now on a visit in this town, and received in lite:-
rary circles with such *esteem and adririration as
may well compensate for the savage asi-mults of
certain reviewers, whO might be expected to have
treated her works with less severity, from national
pride, if they are dead to liberal feelings, atid all
sense of gallantry.

sir JAmr.s M'INTosH, since his return to this
country, has, we widerstand, been offered 50001.
for a continuation of Ilum4's flistory dOwn, to
the present reign. Liberal as this offer is, it is not
disproPortion4te, considering the time the work
will require, rid the high qualifications ',of Sir
JAMES fOr a due performance of the task.—Re-
port says, that-he, has accepted the offer, and, 'if
so; tie literary world may reasonably look for-
ward with confident expectation for a work that
will, doubtless, he characterised by historical're-,
search add political acumen. "

it has been stated in )me Of the public prints,
that Mr. Ktmut.,e is to nit Covent-gardv Thea-
tre at the end, of the season, and we find that the
reportis well-founded. If it be true'also that, his
brother goes to New Drury, there will be a la-
mentable chasm, indeed, at the former Thcatrc,
which it will not only be difficult, bat, we con-

It appeare'd, from the statertierit of Mr.dAuttow.,.
,that the parties:to the, suit were the Above-named

a Sheriff's broker; of the name of (Aare, in con,-
junction with another person Of the name of.
Headley, and soldf4r about 275/..natwithstanding
that most of the. articles .had been put in new
within the last three years, and some of he.ins
had never,been used, and 'cost altogether upwards
of 10001. -

Several Witnesses were calicd on the part of the
plaintiff tO'proVe the ease, among the rest the
bbakrOpt himself, who proved, that, among other
tI ings in his house, at the time when the .execu-
tion came in; were three •admired original paint-:
ings of. Morland, but that no account whatever
had been given of them, nor were, they even Men-
tioned inth7catalog-ue of sale.
On the part of the defendant some persons were
:called to spew that the goods were fairly sold and
properly treated, but they did not satisfy the Jury
an.either of these points.

ducting r‘eht and amounting- to 46/. paid by
the Sheriff, left a verdict for 3601.

to find for the defendant, which they did, da-
mages, one far thing he next, Bastock Sakcr,

beaten a boy belonging to the defendant, land
grossly-insulted the latter, hdd been severely chas-

MRS: STDDONS.---A malignant attack upon this
great actress and truly respectable woman appear-
ed in a Weekly Paper yesterday, in the form of a
letter to the Editor, and we .regret to-see it co- _
pied into a Morning Paper of this day.:---The
charge against her is " ad.:parture from the ac-
customed rules of the Theatre," infreservin4 to.
herself the -power of letting her boxes -on' her
benefit. :vow if the anOnyttous assailant ef.di.s-
tinguished worth and:_genius were really _acquaint-
ed with " the accustomed rules.Ofa:Theatre," he
would knowthat it has always been usual for first •
rate Performers o.n:serve to themselvei the pri-
vilege of diSposing. of. their boxes., for otherwise
tier particular patrons- and friends'might be de-
prived cif the opportunity of screwing their. zeal,
and respect for them on such occasions,- And they
of.
.manifesting their sense of past faVourS. This
privilege, therefore, is really one of " the,accus-
tonne.] rides 'of the-ThiZre." -But it.seenis Mrs.
•SIDDOI•t-s 'was gliilty of the =j: then QFfence.of let-
ting her boxes at herownhoitse!, which is about

curing •a box, 6°oo it was probaine-that not- a
