YOUNG ROSCIU4. •

THtt following is the Address -spoken 1)), the
Young Roscius, at the Sheffield Theatre, and with
which he means to introduce himself to a London
Audience :

Anxious to pay my heart-felt homage here,
Before you thus I venture to, appear ;
No Character arsmtedsballjwitit n now,
Whilst torny,pattial Friends I grateful bow.

Say, am I wrong to aim at your applause
Yet there are some, unheard, prejudge My' cause t
Who in my coat theatric holes are picking
And scorn the boyish hero--"Stage,struck,chicken
Shall he debase a Shakspeare's glowing scenes
A' horse ! a horse ! a rockinglibrse he means—
His 'aaing, trick, and start—a mere maChine, •
Who utter* words, not feefing what thermeatt. ;
Drilled by some fuglemaix—ritht, left,- prepare, -
Heads up, attention, dress, now,as you were.'.`

Am I a chicken—they shall find mts game
In the bold contest for theatric fame.,
As to my height, I. trust, on Reason's plan--
The mind is held the standard of the man.
And, for my youth, why, if that be a crime,
Patience, drmid Sirs ! I "shall Attend in lime.

Such Critics for myself 4=6/%1.1 view—
Is it my acting they condemn,nr you ?
Could trick, or start, the nobler passions raise,
Or give( me, what's niy proudot boast,, your praise?
.Cheer'd with protecting smiles, the bud may. blow.
And this young sapling to a cedar grow.

When at our Shakspeate's Shrine my swellirlg.heait
Bursts forth, and Claims smne.kindred tear to start,.
FroWn not, if I avow that falling tear
Inspires my sou', and bids me persevere.

fli.re, though you weep for Oorrows not your own, ,
Be life's true sorrows to your hearts unknown :
May-1 want words—my feelings chock their 4m—
Think what I ought to feel.-that would .Isay. -

EDINBURGH, DEc. 29•

ON Tuesday night .it blew extremely hard. so
that some of Ship's at anchor in the Roads drOve
considerably. The Ship Enterpr;zE, of London,
from the Baltic, was driving towards the Island of
lochkeith, when it was judged adviseab!e by those
on board to tut away the main and mizen masts,
to save the ship and cargo ; when she fortunately
rode'out the gale. Before the masts were cut away,
the ship was in very shallow water, and rode so
very'hard that her bowsprit was frequently under
water.

Yesterday sailed from Leith 12.0-ads to the South.
ward, the ,bade Revenue Cutter of Shields, which
vessel was put into. the Frith by stress of weather.
Also sailed from Leith Roads, with some Ships
for Tonningeni the Prince of tralesiCaptairt Mug_
'RAY. '
During the height of the gale on Tuesday night,
the
.people 'on board the Enterprize of London, heard
tht cries of several persons in distress not far 'from
their own ship, which they fear was a boat that
had overset in coming from some of the other ships
to their relief.

HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY.

, TUESDAY the Court met to proceed on the trial
of Agnes Gray, late millinertand shop. woman to Mr.
Archibald Gibson, haberdasher, in Edinburgh, ac-
cused of stealing from the shop of her master a great
number of articles of haberdashery goods, as specified
in an inventory annexed to the indiament ; and
particularly of stealing from the said shop on the
14th of Oftob-ei last, several yards of black sars-
net, several yards of tweeled sarsner, two yards or
thereby of flannel, and two pieces of narrow ribbon,
the property. of the said Archibald Gibson."

The indiftrnent being read to the Panne!, she pled
guilty to the charge of stealing the particular articles
above quoted, but denied being guilty of stealing
the articles contained in the inventory annexed to
the indiament, and said she had purchased them.
His Majesty's AdvoCate stated, that having
doubts of being able to prove the libel with regard
to the articles to which the Prisoner pleaded not
guilty, he on that account, agreed to restria the
charge to an arbitrary punishment, which he other..
wise could not have done.

A Jury was theriimpannelled who returned a yer.
did, "all in one voice finding the Prisoner guilty,
in terms and to the extent acknowledged in her ju-
dicial contession."

The Judges delivered their opinions at some
length on the nature and enormity of the crime ; and
do Prisoner, after a very solemn admonition ,from
L9rd CRAIG, the presiding Judge, received sentence,
ordaining her to be imprisoned in the, Gaol of Edin-
burgh for six months, and. thereafter to be banished
from Scotland during all the days of her life.

stating, !ItoNhere was not, during that period, an
opportunity of, claiming ,iny tight, the. Volunteers
never having been brigaded ; and that I shduld have
litttle understood my duty, ,had I shown him officid
lettersiwithout necessity. I cannot, , however, be
as brief with the Memorial, which is drawn up, in
terms, such as, I belieVe, were never before present.
ed to Government. , The moment I read it, on Sa.
turday last; I went, to Manchester,. and:requested
my friend, Captain Jackson, to inform Mr. Philips,
" that I considered myself personally insulted, anti
required the ,satisfaction of.a Gentleman.". He of.
feted to say,, in a privite.manner, that„he not
intend any thing personal ; to which proposal it was
impossible to li‘ ten. Publicly to say so he refused;
and declared, shat he would not meet.rue until I.
had as large a family %as himself." I know the'at.,
tachment every parent naturally has for his children
—I will not trifle with parental feelinp : and. I also
'know, that if a man has a family, it must not be a
screen for his insulting others with impunity. My
life is vain tole 'to myself and'friends as long as I
preserve my hOnour ; and when I do not, may I
cease to exist. ,

The Memorial (B) states, that upan the several
Volunteer Regitnents of this place being upon Bri-
gade duty, His.Mgesa.Ws Birth-day, the...4th of
une, in absence of ol,!-,Ackers, your Menlo.
rialists were much aurprtied to find: chat the com-
mand of the,. irigade was claimed by Lieut.. Col..

Cases for it was three oays at least prior to the
Corps being brigaded, when I claimed the coni:;
mand, and which I, relinquished fur the time, .to.
Col. Hutchison, on a day unanimity was su dc.
sirable. •

Mr. Philips says, " that it is far indeed from his
wish 'to question the' authority, of His . M 'jetty's
Minister." I ask a plain' question, has' he not ?
lie declares, that 10 pledged as' he felt himself to

LONDON FASHIONS FOR AUGUST.

The fashion never continued longer in town, nor
did the grand parum ever last so long 29 this season ;
yet, owing to all elegant: having continued the
Null's veil, in so many various forms since it was
introduced, we have but little change excepting the
Grassini headdress, the veil of Gossamete, or fine
muslin, with gold Oriental border, and the small
Turkish role ; a bandeau near the face, and a pa-
tent lace veil, or handkerchief, carelessly suspended
from the head, and covering almost the whole figure.:
Many white satin Spanish hats, witla.long drooping
ostrich feathers, have been purchased by ladies who
lead the ton, for race balls, &c. &o. The most de.
gant hat for half dress is beautifully formed of muslin,
sarsact, &c. &c. with the Grassini veil, and a snag.
. mills in front, natural, or its primrose, yellow, buff,
&c. &c., with green leaves ; chip bars arc much
worn, ornamented in she same manner ; and straw,
quite plain, for undress; muslin cloak, or scarfs,
lined or bound with colours ; but every pale colour
is so much worn that it is impossible to' say which.
is the most fashionable, but primrose is certainly
the most elegant. The dresses are, in full dress,
so extremely plain, as to admit of but little fancy ;
and the genteelest morning dresses are *de with
long sleeves, high collars, and tied round thi throat
with a handkerchief oldie same as the drew Sith
limons
are bull', or printed muffins of very small
..•,
t
or pale colours.

Ix•parte MARGARET Dr MANNEVILLS, AND
CAROLINE THOMAS DR MANNEVILLE, an la.
font, by her next friend, and others.
THE Loki) CHANCELLOR having tasked if the
parties had agreed upon any terms, in consequence of
his advice on Saturday t Mr. RICHARD* told his
Lordship they were about coming to an agreement
upon the subjeft, and requested his Lordship would
allow it to stand over till to.morrow morning ; which
was accordingly granted.

EARL OF STRATHMORE ANDRtW ROBINSON

BOW ES.

Mr. PLoWDEN applied for leave to set down this
cause for a re-hearing during the present Sittings.
He said, he was confident his Lordship would grant
the application upon hearing the circumstances of
the Defendant. He had been upwards of t 8 years
confined in the King's Bench at the suit of the
Plaintiff, and thus kept out of a very considerable
estate, and several large sums of money due to him.
The Learned Counsel then cited several cases from
the PraCtical Register in support of his application,
which, he contended, was entirely within the discre.
lion of the C.surt ;he mentioned case before the
of Lords, where sDecree was pronounced
behini the back of the opposite party.
The LoR D CHANCELLOR observed, that this was
a very unwarrantaltle manner of speaking of that
House ; he recollated the Case alluded to perfally
well ; but the pities had full notice. He further
observed, that this was a most irregular way of apply.
ing to the C,orrt, and it was with the greatest possi.
ble indulgence that he then heard the application at
The application should have been made by
petition fur liberty to present a petition to set down
the Cause, whereas nu petition whatever had been
It-dged.
The LORD CHANCELL,At then directed that both
Petitions and the D, cite should he laid before him,
,and he would see, by to.rnotrow, upon what grounds
this application was made.

EFFECTS OF A RIOT.

'LAST night, about eight o'clock, a Gentleman of
the name of THOMAS MAXWELL BAGNILL, who
was on a visit at his mother's, at Nu. 3, Arundel.

Tavern, was sitting at the window of the first floor,
pitying with a dog, on whose nose he put a pair of
speftacles. The vast crowd which was assetnialetl
outside, occasioned by Sir FRANC IS BURDETT'S

who wears it. Nothingcan he more whitnsic.4t and
capricious. Some arc in imitation of .an accolade,
a shuttle, the letter S; in short, any shape you
please is the fashion. A few sorts of materials
are fashionable for a Lady's dress ; but the shape,
'the colour, and the tissue,. vary infinitely, even
among L. legantes of the first class. At the Spena-
cle, every box presents a different fashion, and
we may justly exclaim "Tot capita tot :emus."
In general, spangles, tinsel, anti every thing glar-
ing, diamonds excepted, are proscribed. Good
taste and the :races appear to superintend the toi-
lette of most of our Elegantee, and a fine shape is
snore than ever the fashion. The ladies, when they
visit the Theatre, wear a great coat, which they
take off ups's() entering their box. The greatest
mark of attention which a Beau can pay to a Belle
is, when he perceives the Piece drawing to a close, to
fly.to the Lobby, place himself at the door of the
box, and assist the fair one, as she cornea out, to
put on her great coat. At a late representation of
the Opera of The Barden, at the Theatre dre
one Beau was observed, in the course of the
night, to assist thirty-five .filegautes to put on
their great coats. He is now considered the best

buttons, and steel sword, an embroidered silk waist.

POLKSTONE, DEC. 30.

WE are in constant readiness to turn out at a mo-
ment's warning either by day or night. Such a
series of bad weather has not been witnessed here
for years past. Several of the new- buildings of
Hythe Barracks, have been blown down, and in dif-
ferent parts of the country, houses unroofid, trees
torn up by the roots, and various other damages
have occurred. A Cutter belonging to Folkstone.
foundered at sea, and every soul on board perished,
Another Cutter which was in company, and brought
the intelligence, was unable to afford the least-as.
sistance. The beach has been covered 'these few
days past with timber of different sorts, barrels,
staves, &c. and Imuch fear great damage has hap-
pened to the shipping at sea. The Volunteer sys_
tem seems to he more generally approved of here
than it was, as I understand same augmentations are
about to take place, particularly in the Volunteer
Artillery Company of Folkstone, a very useful body.
