plate-hunter, 1.),,:as committed no Virednesday for
stealing a few' light articles of value from the
kitchen of a Gentleman's house in Tavistoc...-row;
The pritoner had oceasionallv attended on the
servants in a kind of basket traiic, and as she was
accounted clever at divination, she was not an
unwelcome visitor amongst the inaidtais of the
street, until she was detected with the property in
question. . .

with robbing Edward _ Evan,s, a iiinL;;s pilot, of

E ATRE.---The Comedy of for .Ligve
was re'rived last night at Covent-Garden Theatre,
but such a vein of indecency runs throe .ii. the
whole, that, unless weeded of its -rosy luxuri-
ance, it is , utterly unfit to be represented to the
public in an age so much more polished .iu milli
hers:than the period at whidi It tvas written. In-
'deed it abounds with passages So much in viola-
tion of deicacy and decorum, that)nb coMpensa-
tion can be found in iti acknowletNed
it:our, and the agTeeable diversity and strength- 4f
its characters. The parts were supported hy the
