THEATRE.—Ihe Exile was followed. last
night at Covent-Garden Theatre, by The Child if
Nature; for the 'purpose of introducing. Miss BOOTH
in the chara6ter of •Airtairt/ris. Mis's BOoTH had
made a Very favourable' impression upon 'the visitors
of the CißcUs, and certainly displayed merit 'enobgh.
to entitle her to a situation in a regular Theatre.—
Her figure is very small, buZ is neat and interesting.
Her face is pleasing, and her general manner easy
and spirited.' Her acting • was marked by feeling
and a plopet- conception of 'the character. There
was evidently a strong party of friends to support
her, a proof -of her private worth. The audience
in general, however,- were kind arid indslgent. •
It is with great concern that we have- to report

Bishop of Bristol. This fine aid amiable young
man was taken a prisiiner at the age of 13, together
with the brave and unlortunate Capt. Wright,• in
the Vince, , and carried into France. After con•
tinning there about five:years, during which time he.
underwent much hardship and many cruelties, on,
account of the firmness of his determination, even
at that tender age, not 'to give inforrn.ition which
rhight ailed his Captain, against whom the enemy
was bittetly incensed on account of their suspecting
him to have ',landed Pichegru, George, . &c. on-
their coast, he'finally Succeeded in making hisescape.
But the sufferings which he endured.frbm his long
and repeated concealment in wet- ditches,. wood,,
marshes, &c. for upwards of three ..months, •
during the course of that escape., too': visibly
affeCted his constitution. His friends were often
anxious with hint for a change of his profession :

it was impossible to ttirri to either the right or
to go backwards or forwards. - The coaen was full,
but none of the passengers were armed; o• in the
'smallest degree able to support the courageous and
firm deportment of the guards. Irt a short time it
wa, very clear that resi:stiancc was wholly out. of the
question. _ _

'As soon as the arms were laid on the ground, ac-
cording to sripolation, the turnpike gate, which had
been ta•tened ith roves, was opened, au i titteen

carried in the manner of rifles at' supported arms,

A parity took place, which lasted hear three go3r-
ters of an hour, occasionally interrupted by the firm
declarations of the gnards on one side, and by the
calm but stern
,denunciations ot. the attacking party
on the other. The'passengers interfered-strenuously

be seen in a general way, though it was impoisiul
to 'reckon them, They could not have been less tutu

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—A Gentleman of the
name of M'lntosh, a Merchant in. Hatton-Garden,
was taken b' Craig and Burton yesterday mbrning,
near his own house, on the charge of having sent a
challenge by letter to a Mr. Michell, . to'provigie
him to nght a duel., It turned out that. the parties
differed at a card party, and the defendant app, ivied
Chalk Farm for the duel.. He was held in uustan-
tial sureties to keep the peace.
A Merchant of respeczability in Pulteney•street,
charged - his son, a Well-educated youth of tif;een,
with various' ads of felony. The father's account
of this young depredator was, such as to justify the
step he had taken 'for his bvin protettioa. It ap-
peared that* the prisoner had broken open drawers,
at various, times, and stolen plate, a watch,
jewellery, to the amount of 101. which was fouocl
in his possession. He was desciibed with a paren-
tal tear, as possessing eery vice, and too dangerous
a youth to be at liberty.- - The prisoner was ordered
to be- kept in • confinement at St. Ann's Watch-
house until the Magispates had duly considered the
case.
