THE_ THEATRE.

Dali-LANE.—Mr. ELLISTON, the enterpris-
ing Lessee and distinguished ornament of this
itY
Theatre last night took his annual benefit. The
play -Was The Ilgpocrite, which we have noticed
as -admirably performed at this l'heatre. The
Farce was The Liar, in which Mr. Er.LisTos
performed the part of Young Wilding, with no
alateinent of" his juvenile spirit.—ln the course
of the performance he came forward and ad-
dressed the audience in the following manner :
" toidie3 and Gentlemen,—While I roost respectfully beg
leave to return you my cordial thanks for the ample patronage
with :which you have honoured me on this occasion, allow me—
permit: me, to explain to you how notch I have been cheered by
the general favour which has been shewn me, through so large
a portion of time as that in which I have had the honour of
atrugeling on this spot for your favour.
" Five years are now nearly elapsed, since, under the present
administration, I was induced to take the conduct of the com-
plicated affairs of this Theatre, and, I may add, of retrieving
it from its pecuniary pressure and embarrassments (ap-
plause) ; and I am now enabled,. thank God, to state, that, un-
der the present direction, its debts are decreasing, that a short
time will see them entirely paid, and that the shareholders, by
whose subscriptions this edifice has been erected, will ultimately
realize that price for their shares from which they deteriorated,
and that they will be raised to their full and original value.—
(Applause.)
" I mention net this prosperity, with the view of raising my
own credit, I.y speaking of my individual industry, but to chew
that where the-manager of such an establishment is zealous and
persevering, the public will second all his efforts. And,
Ladies and Gentlemen, I can honestly assure you, that I could
have effected nothing without the aid of British liberality.—
( Loud applause.)
" To you, Ladies and Gentlemen, I owe every thing on my
part ;—on you I confidently rely for the future ; —and, believe
me, that while I say I can only live by the fair profits and
emoluments of my labour, those profits shall be but a secondary
consideration to that high delight which I shall ever meet in
sharing your generous protection.
7" As a pledge that I shall not relax any effort to please you,
r beg leave to notice, that reports have been circulated of the
- speedy secession of many of your favourites from this theatre ;
but such reports, I take pleasure in stating, arc totally ground-
less. lam willing to suppose that these reports originated in
mistake rather than in malignity or hostility to this establishment,
for with the exception of Mr. Munden, whose loss to the stage
every lover of the histrionic art must deplore—(applattse)—l
can assure you confidently of the continuance of almost every
one of your favourites for the next season, with the additional
talent to be gathered from the provincial theatres ; and let me
add to the lovers of music, the engagement of a gentleman so
generally esteemed, I mean Mr. tiapio.
" I fear, Ladies and Gentlemen, that I have too long in-
truded upon your patience, and I shall only repeat the expres-
sion of' my heart-felt gratitude, and my fixed resOlutiou, by
.every the most arduous effort, to merit the continuance of the
public favour."—( Loud applause.):
This speech was received with repeated ap-
plause, and was delivered with marks of fervent
sincerity. Madame CA'I'ALAN7, 1110. SP generous
feelings are well known, volunteered her ser-
vices, and sang with the most brilliant success.
The house was thronged in all parts, and both
audience and actor had every reason to be highly
gratified by the events of the night.
NEW SURREY THEATRE.-ThisTileatre,which,

as we before stated, is much improved in-beauty
and conveniFnce, last. night brought forth two
novelties. The first is styled Genevieve, or the
Murderer of the Pgrenees, and Dr. Faustus, the
memorable hero of our infancy, cave the title to
the second. Both of these pieces abound in
amusing, interesting, and terrific incidents, which
convey the stories clearly to the minds of the
audience. Both were well supported by the
Performers, and received the sanction of general
approbation.

GREENWICH Fmn.—The fineness of the wea-
ther yesterday, and the beauty of the Park at this
season of the year, drew together a large con-
course of visitors to this well known scene of holi-
day sports. The space on which the fair is now
held is situate near the Creek Bridge ; here were
to be seen giants and dwarfs, learned pigs, and
big-faced ladies. 'There were also several booths
for refreshments and dancing, among which the
Crown and Anchor stood pre-eminent. Along,-
side the Creek there was also a steam boat moored,
which was fitted ❑p for the reception of com-
pany. It was in the Park, however, that the best
amusement was to be found ; crowds were there
to he seen running down the different hills, and
others were strolling about its delightful walks ;
in other parts, groups of both sexes had
collected to join in the rural sport called
" Kiss in the ring." Towards evening the
boys, belonging to the Naval Asylum col-
lected in front of the Park, and sang " God save
the King," 4 4 Rule l3ritannia," and other na-
tional airs. We regret to state that in the course
of the afternoon, a young girl and a boy both had
their arms broke in attempting to run down the
hill, and were carried off to a surgeon's.

It is said that a Gentleman moving in the
higher circles, and possessing considerable property, has un-
dertaken toe singular task (for a wager of 500 guineas), to beg
way from London to Edinburgh, and return within a mont,
engaging to save £lOO during his journey : to start in less than
a fortnight.
On Saturday se'imight the first stone of the
new Pier for extending the Harbour of White-
haven was laid, about six o'clock in the evening
in the presence Of between nine and ten thousand
spectators.

NEW COURT, OLD BAILEY—(Ties PAT.)

[BEFORE THE RECORDER.]
CARLILE'S BLASPHEMOUS LIBELS.

William Campion, formerly a shopman in the
employ of Cathie, was put to the bar on an in-
dictment. charging him with publishing, in the
month of May last, a blasphemous and most
scandalous libel of and concerning our 1101 y
[Religion►. There were no less than three other
indictments against the prisoner for simikr
offences.

Mr.SnEr.ToN In tying read over the indictment
against the prisoner, asked him if he wa, guilty

or not.

Prisoner.—Not

Messrs. BOLLAND 1114 d I3F►tN,.lr.n conducted
the case- for the prosecution. Mr. R. having
pointed out the libellous passages to the Jury,
called •

Thomas Drummond, one of the messengeri of
the Bow-street Police-office. Knows the house
No. 8, Fleet-street ; the name of Carlile was
over the door ; went to the shop on the sth May
and saw the prisoner there; bought of him
" Pagne's Age qf Reason," for which he paid
him 4 shillings. Witness asked the prisoner if
he were to take half-a-dozen of them if he would
take a less sum ; the prisoner said he would take
25 per cent. off.

It ECU D Mt.—Prisoner, do yon wish to ask this
witness any question before the book is read ?
Prisdner.—When you have done with him.
RI:CORDER.—D6 you wish to a,k any question ?
Prisoner.—No. I don't want him.
The work was here put in and read, so far as
the passages charged in the libel required.
Durinr, the reading by the Cleik of the Ar-
raigns trle prisoner attentively followed each
sentence, having been furnished with a copy of
the indictment.

The case for the prosecution having closed,
the prisoner was called on for his defence. He
read from a written paper, of considerable
length, what he might term an exculpatory an-
swer to the accusation, but which, in fact, was
merely a repetition of what had formerly•been
set up.
After going at soma length into his defence, he
conimencefl reading extracts from the Creed of
Paine, and defended his opinion as laid down in
his works, until the Jury 'at length interfered.

The ltEcono En regretted that the Jury should.
have been under the necessity of hearing such
shocking observations as had fallen from the pri-
soner, and observed, the only reason why the
Court had not before interfered, was that he
wished it not to be hereafter said that the pri-
soner had not been allowed to defend himself.—
lie, however, hoped be would forbear.
Sir C. S. HUNTER said, he fur ooe would not
sit and bear such blasphemy.
_

The prisoner said he had no other way of de-
fending himself, and he• was allowed to proceed.
Sir C. S.lltiNTuit again stooped his reading an
offensive passage, hot the prisoner again pro.-
ceeded, and concloded with imploring the JUry
not to send Idol to a jail for publishing a'worl.
which he from his heart felt to contain nothing-
injurious to moral feeling. lie called no witnesses
to speak to his character.
The IIccoRDER summed up to the Jury ; and
returned a verdict of Guilty.
