THE THEATR r. 1711 e Comedy of, Ways and
Means was followed last night at the Haymarket
Theatre the new Ballet of The Ez.Thanted
Soft:: of tms.: redundancies of this superb Spetlacle
off, and the whole therefore pro-
': in an unbroken tenor, which pre vents the in_
from sagging at aiT period; Tho grand coneep_
+ni of t!ie immortal Author, in the exquisite drama
ft.- , Lich .his pi. Le ;s"derived, are, indeed, realized
in at,,ti,r4aid in ,cerie•y, with extraordinary success.
The, mu,ici is per:ilinlly, well adapted to aid the
impression of the various incidents it accompanies,
as weir as the " several chani;es of the scene. It
would he injustice, in'speaking Of this Music, so
excellent and appropriate, riot to urroi or the gene-
ral spirit and curredness ~f the Band. Flot.NfFs,
with, his Bassoon, is, entitled to high praise, and
FosTEtt's Oboe appears to 'great advantage, The
House was, if possible, more crowded than on the
first night, and the `piece was received throughout
with very great applati,e:,
On Friday last the Officers of the Staffordshire
Militia performed the Tragedy of' the Revenge, at
the Newcastle Theatre, for the benefit of the In.
firm.iry of that Town. The part of .2anga, by Cul.
ELIOT, produced the niost unqualified atylathe irarn
all parts of an oveifluwing house, the receipt of
which =owned to 10.4./.
Mr..s4lAw, the Leader of the Drury. Lane Band,
has parted with his interest in the Margate Theatre
to Ru'isFt,t, the Actor, for three years.. ,The
ter is also one of the Managers of the Richmonc'
Theatre.

Mr. BINCLEY, in his account of the Carabus
:C,repitans, or Bombardier, an insets that endeavours
jto escape from his foe by a. loud exploSion, with
grave simplicity,mentions the seat of its extraor-
'dinar), power in the following manner : " A blad-
.
!der,. placed near its posterior extremity, is the
:arsenal that contains its store.'.'lf • •
the mode adopted in the trial of the alledged
Conspirators in France, viz. _by making the mere
evidence of one supposed- culprit con viCl another,
:vvithOut the smallest corroborative proof of faas,
;w:11 not :reconcile discontented Englishmen to the
legal forms and merciful trihunals of: their own
Country, they ought to be. sabmitted to, the sum-
mary decisions of the French Courts of pre-deter-
mined condemnation.
It. is said that a person• gets a livelihood•in Cor.
sica by sheaving the., cottage where BONAPAP,TE
was born. It is not improbable that hereafter
some!oody may derive an equal advantage in shetv-
, ing the scaffold on which this great disturber of
mankind expiated, his-nffences in this world.
A certain Party say, they are anxious to prevent
thr National Defence. Bill from coming to. the .Pa-
rid), but the real motive of, their opposition,- Was
probably an apprehension of_coming themselves to
the Parish.
Mr. WINDHAM seems at present less disposed to
.(appear as a candidate for,oflice than as a rival of Mr.
SHERIDAN in jocularity. Wit and humgur are cer-•
tainly very agreeable .things, but they should only be
brought forward in due season; and the situation'of
the Country requires,
.at the present moment, a
seriousness in Parliamentary Proceedings, suitable to,
the dignity of the National Council, and the
=im-
portant objeas in discussion.
Mr. Fox's declaration; that the House of 'Com.
tons could judge as well of a new Administration
in six monthi. as in`six
,years, could hardly have
been expelled from such a ' veteran Politician.—
Such an opinion would 'be more suitable to the
revoluflonary,ralidisy, which marked the legislative
proceedings in France soon after the Overthrow of
the Monarchy. But the new mingled n.-.ass of Op_
position evidently think they can decide upon
.the
merits of a new Administration in less than 'six
weeks !

On Sunday sennight,- about seven of 'clock in the
morning, It T M T—a, an eminent
Jew, and Mr. both of Barnard'Cistle, met
in a field near that place, attended by their Seconds,
to determine an afThir of honour. The ground be-
ing marlzed out by the Seconds, the parties took their
stations but, just as the signal was about to be
given for firing, the Jew dropl•ed on his knees in a
violent state of agitation, and begged of his antago-
nist to spare his life. llere the Seconds interfered,
and the Jew consenting to ask Mr. B.'s pardon,
matters were amicably adjuEited„ when the descen-
dant of Levi •was suffered to depart with his life.—
The huhjeet of clic quarrel .was a young yto
whom they both pay thcit addr.zbse.—The jzttv

The present Interrogatory,

Citizen Prci-ircßu declared he would not sign it,
conceiving that the gre4er hart of the questions
were put in an insidious and injurious manner ; and
we have signed it. . . .
