Tnt THEATRES'.

natittikr-LANE.---A Comedy, entitled Folly as
lit Flies, written by Mr. REYNOLDS, and which
was successfully represented many years ago at
Covent-Garden Theatre, was revived here on
Saturday last, and the characters in general were
well assigned to the respective Performers. On
this occasion MuNnEN came forward, under a
new engagement, in the part of Peter Post Obit.
Ile received a hearty welcome on his first appear-
ance, and he requited the audience by the humour
of his performance. Tom Tick, a lively, bustling
part, was sustained with due spirit by ELLISTON.
The rest of the characters found aolequate repre-
sentatives in COOPER, POPE, HARLEY, KNIGHT,
and Mrs. EnwlN. The Comedy abounds with
gross but diverting improbabilities, and some pa-
thetic scenes, and for want of something better,
may well be tolerated on account of the merit of
the PerformerS.

OLYMPIC.-This Theatre opened on Saturday
last with a musical piece called Pedro Lobo, and
the farce of The Irish Widow, Mr. G. SMITH,
Mr. VALE, and a new actor named HEALEy, were
the chief performers in the first piece. The
Irish Widow was performed by Miss WAt.PoLE,
who appeared in the same character at Covent-
Garden Theatre. The whole concluded with a
ludicrous piece entitled Theresa Tomkins. The
audience were informed thq Miss S. BOOTH, Mrs.
JOHN3TON, and Mr. TAYLEURE, late of the
Haymarket Theatre, are soon to be added to
the dramatic corps of this place.

Whatever difficulties and unpleasantry Mr.
MACREADY may have experienced in the dis-
charge of his professional duties whilst here,
from the want of able supporters, he is at least
amply compensated by the estimation in which
his histrionic talents are held in general opinion.
His benefit, on Monday night, was productive of a
display of public approbation we have rarely wit-
nessed. Long before the curtain was, drawn up,
every niche and corner of the house were crowded
to excess, anti very many were not able to obtain
admission at all. Some of the most distinguished
families in the county honoured the Theatre
with their presence, and the boxes afforded a
rich display of elegance, beauty, and fashion.—
The historical Tragedy of Richard 111. is one
that will ever excite strong local interest ; inde-
pendent of the great talents displayed by the
immortal Bard, in language and scenic effect.—
Mr. MAcacAny has passed the ordeal of metro-
politan criticism, with so much honour to him- -
self, that it will acid nothing to his reputation to
say, in his faillyral delineation of character on
Monday night, " Richard's himself again !"
When Mr. MACREADY played 44 Wallace, the
Hero of Scotland," at Birmingham, on Tuesday
night last, for the behefit of Mr. BUNN, the
Manager, there were upwards of two hundred
pounds in the house.--( Leicester Journal, Nov. 2.)

the party called out, not to tread on the grass.
" Oh," said his Majesty, with much good humour,
C 4 don't mind the grass—let them go where they
please." On his Majesty's arrival at the Park,
a royal salute was fired at the battery, and:the
Union' Flag was hoisted on Bedford Tower.

While the events 'which ti itt have described
above were transacting at How h and. the Phce,
nix Lodge, a scene equally animated and eri-
thusiastic took place in the vicinity of Dun-
leary% The roads leading from Dublin had
been thronged from an early hour in the morn-
ing, and the concourse of persons Who lined
the shores of the Harbour, in the expecta-
tion, or in the hope of catching a glympse of
the vessel which bore the person of theiA revered
Sovereign, was numerous beyond description.—
At half-past three,,the signal was made from the
Admiral's Flag ship for the fleet lying at Dun-
leary to get under way, for the purpose of joining
the Royal Squadron, which was expected in the
course of the evening. The fleet, consisting of
all his Majesty's ships and Revenue crnizers, ac-
companied by the yachts and pleasure-boats which
have been for some time_ collecting at Dun-.
leary, instantly got under weigh, and stood
across. the Bay for llowth, where they formed
a line., and presented a spectacle truly imposing
At a quarter after 4, a signal from the Martello
Tower at Dalkey announced that the Royal
Squadron was in eight. The announcement.
Was acknowledged by the discharge of artillery
from the magazine 2.t Dunleary, the battery at
The PigeonAouse, .The first sound of can-
non was the signal for assembling from all di-
rections; such a concourse of people as has
scarcely ever in this country been equalled.—
The pier and quays at Dunleary presented a solid

ifiass bf spectators, and the shore and hills from
thence to Brayhead were thronged with persons
anxious to behold a spectacle so novel and splen-
did. At half-past five, the Royal Squadron were
visible to the naked eye approaching from the
Southward, and at '0 quarter before seven the Ad-
miral's flag-ship, the Cyrus, passed the headmost
ship of the Squadron, which then, joined by the
Dunleary fleet, and surrounded by the craft of
every description, stood in for the Pier, where
they all came to their moorings. The evening
was delightfully serene, and the magnificent
scenery of the Bay never appeared to greater
advantage.

CAMPBELL V. ALLAN.

This case, which excited a considerable degree
of interest, and which was reported on the 16th
Dec. last, was an action of damages at the instance
of John Campbell, Esq. of late member
of Parliament for the Sterling district of burgs,
against Thomas Murray Allan, Esq. of Scots-
town Park, for slandering and defaming his cha-
racter by calling him a liar—an infamous impos-
tor—and a blackguard. Damages laid at 10,000/.
The Jury found the issues proved, and award-
ed one shilling of damages.
Mr. Campbell afterwards moved the Court to
award the costs of suit to him. This motion was
followed by a counter one, on the part of Mr.
Allan, also claiming costs.

Beth motions were ably argued a few days ago,
and the Court, decided that each party ought to
bear his own costs, and dismissed the motions on
both sides.

COUNSEL IN CASES OF FELONY.

Mr. R. MARTIN said, that the motion he had
to make was a proposition so self-evident, that he
had equal difficulty in finding arguments in its fa-
vour and against it; it was so reasonable that merely
to mention it was sufficient to procure it the
strongest report. It was for leave to bring in a
Bill to permit persons charged with capital
crimes, or with felonies, to make their defence by
counsel. The reverse was, in his view, so utterly
inconsistent with the benignity of our criminal
code; it was so completely unjust to refuse to a
prisoner the advantage enjoyed by the Crown,
that he would not attempt to argue it. Mr. Jus-
tice Blackstone had called it one of the anomalies
of the English law, for which he was unable to
account, and he (Mr. Martin) presumed that the
House would not have the slightest objection to
remedy the defect. He accordingly moved for
leave to bring in his Bill.

Mr. LocKu.►ar did not intend to resist the
measure in its first stage, but lie reminded the
House that there were many solid objections to
it, and he dwelt particularly on the inconvenience
and delays that might result in the administra-
tfon of justice from a change of the existing sys-
tem. At present the Court was counsel for a
prisoner, and he was not aware that within the
last century any disadvantage had resulted from
the exclusion of prisoners accused of capital ctimes
and felonies from the use of Counsel.

Mr. ;MARTIN replied; mairitaiuing that , the
London, England, 1821-02-27

Court not, la as Counsel for prisoners, but
remained pertel\etly neuter. He referred to the
case of Bellingtam, where the Court had refused
to allow delay for ,the arrival of witnesses_ to
prove insanity in support of his argument.
Mr. NOLAN contended that the case of Belling-
ham was directly against the Hon; Gentleman :
counsel had there, as in all similar instances,
been allowed to make and support the applica-
tion for delay. He hoped the HOuse world
make no alteration in the most humane system of
jurisprudence ekistin,g inany country of the world.
The subject of the lion. Gentleman's motion had
engaged the attention of the • bar, he could him-
self say from the time he came to it. It was un-
questionably a subject that might give rise to a
great diversity of opinion. But the result of the
best opinions which he had been able to collect
from those most familiarly acquainted with the
criminal jurisprudence of this country, and with
the course of administering our law in that de-
partment, was, that the purposes of justice were
best attained- under the present system. There
was seldom •or never a case in which -the judge
did not really act as counsel for the prisoner.

After a fe%v words from Mr. R. ItTIN in re-
ply, and from Mr. DlCKlvsos, the gallery was
cleared, and a division called for.
The House, however, did not divide, and Mr.
Martin obtained leave to bring in his Bill.
The SOIACITO It•GEN En A L brought in a Bill for
facilitating the course of business in the Court of
King's Bench, which was read a first,thne, and
ordered to be read a second time to-morrow.

The second reading of the Middlesex Militia
Pill was postponed till Friday.—Adjourned.

THE PREVENTIVE SERVICE.

ITArrisos, Auo. i4.--The result of the
Assizes, which have just terminated at Lewes, has tended to
evince, beyond dispute, the opinion of the Magistrates of this
County, upon the merits of the blockade system for the sup_
pression of smuggling ; as contrasted with any means which
have yet been adopted for the prevention of contraband traffic.
After a most respectable Special Jury had pronounced a verdict
of Guilty against some Custom-house Officers of Rye, for collu-
sive practices with certain notorious smugglers of that place, the
Naval Officers engaged upon the coast under the newly esta-
blished system called the Coast Blockade, brought forward their
prosecutions against 14 or 15 well known smugglers, which had
been detected through the zeal and activity of these officers.
After giving a firm and clear testimony, and undergoing the most
severe scrutiny from Messrs. Adolphus and Broderip, the
officers must have been highly gratified at the spontaneous
eulogiums passed upon them by a Special Jury composed of
Magistrates and principal Landholders of the County. The
Jury however, proceeded still further with respect to the senior
officer of the blockade then present ; they publicly thanked him
for his testimony and exertions, and finally drew up the follow.
ine paper, which was signed by those whose names are affixed
to it, and transmitted to his Majesty's Government through
the hands of Walter Burrell, Esq. Member of Parliament for
this County. There can be but little doubt what will be the
determination of the Admiralty, respecting the attention which
ought to be paid to a recommendation originating in such mo-
tives, and proceeding from a body of such truly respectable
Gentlemen ; but how materially will their desire to promote
the officer in question be strengthened, by the venerable Judge
who presided having declared his sentinlients to be in unison with
those of the Special Jury upon this occasion.

" We, the Special Jury appointed to try the merits of the case
in the cause of the King against Stephen Barrow and Francis
Henbry, relative to certain smuggling transactions, feel it our
duty to declare that Lieutenant Edward Chappell, of his Ma-
jesty's ship Severn, is entitled to great praise for the zeal, ac-
tivity, and attention he appears constantly to hate displayed in
the execution of his duty for the suppression of smuggling; no
less than for the firm and clear testimony he delivered before
us upon the above-mentioned occasion. And we do also de-
clare, that it is our decided opinion that the conviction of the
defendants was brought about by the talents and energy of Lieut.
Chappell, and that, therefore, taking these circumstances
into consideration, and the merits of Lieutenant Chappell, we
can, with great justice, recommend him most strongly to the
Hight Honourable the Lora Commissioners of the Admiralty.

TIIE ASSIZES.

CHELMSFORD, Avo. 9.
CROWN SIDE. —Before Mr. Baron Woon.

Reuben Collins a young man of respectable
appearance and of good education, was indicted
under the late Lord Ellenborough's Act, 43
Geo. 3. c. 58, s. 2, for wilfully and maliciously
administering to Hannah Stammers, single woman,
six ounces of certain medicines and drugs, in or-
der, and with intent to procure premature partu-
rition of a foetus, of which she was pregnant by
the prisoner. There were four other counts,
varying the description of the drugs adminis-
tered to the prosecutrix, successively calling
them medicines, drugs, substances, steel pills,
and pills. The words of the Statute upon which
the indictment was framed are—" If any person
or persons shall wilfully and maliciously admi-
nister to, or cause to be administered to, or taken
by any woman, any medicines, drug, or other
substance or thing whatsoever, or shall use or
employ, or cause or procure to be used or em-
ployed, any instrument or other means whatso-
ever, with intent thereby to cause or procure the
miscarriage of any woman not being, or not being
proved to be quick with child at the time of ad-
ministering such things, or using such means,
that then, and in every such case, the person or
persons so °Wending, their counsellors, alders,
and abettors, knowing of and privy to such of-
fence, shall be, and are hereby declared to be,
guilty of felony, and shall be liable to be fined,
imprisoned, set in and upon the pillory, publicly
or privately whipped, or to suffer one or more of

the said punishments, or to be transported be-
yond the seas for any term not exceeding four-
teen years, at the discretion of the Court before
which such offender shall be tried and con-
victed."—This case excited very general interest,
from its extraordinary and ungsual character.—
Mr. BRODRICK conducted the prosecution, and
Mr. WALFORD and Mr. ADOLPHUS the defence.

The circumstances opened for the prosecution
were these :

The prisoner was the son of very humble
parents at Witham, in this County, his father
being a journeyman shoemaker in that town.
Notwithstanding his humility of parentage, he
had acquired an education far above his station.
He had become a clerk, or writer, in the office of
Mr. Pattison, a respectable solicitor in his native
town, where he had been a diligent and .meri-
torious servant for seven years, and at the time
of this transaction had attained the age of twenty-
one. The prosecutrix, a young woman of ex-
tremely modest and correct deportment, was a
domestic servant in Mr. Pattison's family.—
During an absence of Mr. Pattison and his family
from home in the autumn of last year, the prison-
er and the prosecutrix were left in the house.
The prisoner 'formed an attachment for her—it
was mutual, and he promised her marriage. No
criminality appeared to have taken place in Mr.
Pattison's house. The prosecutrix left her mas-
ter's house and went to live shortly afterwards
in the service of Mrs. Watson, in the same town.

—ln the interval between her quitting Mr.
Pattison's and going to her new place, the prison-

SCOTCH JURIES.

A mu to ALTER the MODE of CHOOSING JURIES to
SERVE on CRIMINAL TRIALS in SCOTLAND..
Whereas it,is expedient that the Mode in which Jurymen
are at presttnt chosen to serve'on Criminal Trials in Scotland,
be altered ; •
May it therefore please your MAJESTY,
That it may be enacted ; and be it enacted Ly the King's
most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent
of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this
present Parliament assembled, and by the authority 41 the
same, that front and after the

upon-occasion of any crimi-
nal trial before the High Court of Justiciary, or before any
Sheriff Stewart ur any other inferior Judge in Scotland. who
shall be about to try any case by Jury, the clerk of the said
court shall, before the court meets, write the name and
designation of each of the forty-five persons contained in
the list of Assize on separate pieces of paper, all as nearly
as way be of the same size and colour, and shall roll up
the said pieces of paper, with the names in the inside,
as nearly as may be in the same manner, so that the whole of
them may be as nearly as possible of the same ontwaid
appearan,e : and when the fifteen Jurymen are to
be chosen to pass upon the Assize, the said clerk shall
then, in open Court, put the fortv•five pieces of paper,lcon-
tamping the names, in the list of. Assize as aforesaid, into a
box, to be provided for that purpose, and shall then in open
Court draw out the said pieces of paper, one by one, reading
aloud the name and designation contained on each as it is
drawn ; and the fifteen persons who shall he first drawn, and

trial, and not liable to any legal objection, and not set
aside upon challenges hereinafter permitted by any of the
parties, shall be the Jury to try the case:
And be it further enacted, that from an d a f ter
it shall he lawful for the pro-
.seeutor and foreach prisoner respectively, in all the aforesaid
cases of criminal trial by Jury, to challenge
of the Jurymen, whose names shall he drawn as
hereinbefore directed, without being obliged to assign any
reason t het efor ; and this Challenge shall of itself disqualify
the person challenged from serving as a Juryman on the trial
in respect of which he v.as so drawn and challenged.

gained, which trough( upon ,ui,with greater
certainty the evil we were so mainly solici-
tousto avoid. • Had a strict "neutrality
.been
maintained, he would hot have brought for-
ward:the present motion., This Governrpent, act-
ing with strict neutrality, relight, as it condemned
theAevolution in the Government of Naples on
the. one,hand, haVe remonstrated with the Allies
against putting it down.by force. on the other.—
The,conduct pursued by as tOwnids Spain, far
from involving us in a war', had' perhaps gone a
great way towards saving us from such an. evil.—
But he reminded thellouseof the lant4liage held
by tyg Emperor of Russia On the 'Occasion of the
Spanish
_Revolution. Ile had- then' 'declared
" that till an expiatory sacritiCe had Been made
—that till the soldiery who effectedthe Revolu-
tion bad been punished;no communication ought
to. be held with that poWer." This Was the law-,
guage.held by an Emperor, for speaking of whom
his .Noble Friend had been called to older.' He
wililed.to say nothing harsh of that Monarch, but
could it be denied that he had succeeded to
the Throne through the murder of 'his father ?
lie . trwted he (the Emperor) had no concern
with it, but might not Foreign Powers then have
said, with as much propriety .as lie could say that
which he recently advanced" there has been
an atrocious murder committed at the -Coda of
Russia, and no communication shall be held with
that PoWer till an expiatory sacrifice shall have
been made,_and the authors of this`crime brought
to
,punishment ?" The explanations given by the
NOble Earl thiSnight were to him unsatisfactory.
Tlie.policy of Ministers, in his opinion, bid fair to
involve the country in difficulty, which might be
avoided by taking a firmer course, and a course
more,consistent with the rights of Nations and
the interests.of this Country. Ile could not con-
'sent to Withdraw the motion; but finding the at-
tendance so thin, and
.perceivin4 how strong the
feeling was likely to be against the present mo-
tion, he would not put the Honse to the trouble
of .divirding„
Lord ELLENBOROFGH explained' and the ones-
tie was then put and negatived.
The further consideration of the Queen's An-
nuity. Bill, was, on the motion of Lord LlVER-
rool.,!deferi•ed till to-morrow (this day).—Asl-
