THE TH E.4.11tE.

A Selection of Sacred Music ,was performed last
night at Drury-Lane Theatre, for the purpose,
we understand, of relieving those inferior Per-
forms:is of that Theatre who must have suffered
severe privations on account of that suspension
of all theatrical exhibitions which was essentially
required by public feelings on the recent na-
tional calamity. The Committee of Management
deserve 'particular praise for tl►e nature of-the Ex-
hibition which they thus brought forward as ap,
propriate to the melancholy state of the Nation, and
.for the solemn and impressive arrangements which
they prepared for the occasion. The utmost cate
was talt,en to 'render the wh,%le Intsiness of the
evening an 'appropriate tribute to the memory of
her, whose untimely loss the station is (loonies] to
deplore. All the cushions in front of the boxes
were covered with black ; the pillars which sus-
tained the several tiers were also pitt in mourning,
and adorned' at the top with bows of white rib-
bands. A funeral scuicheon was suspended on'the
left side of tl►e audience pint of the Theatre ; ,ast.l
if any thing were wanting to make the sable pic-
ture complete, it was supplied by the dresses of
the.numerous audience, among whom it was
hardly possible to point out a single man or wo-
man who was out of 'mourning.

This solemn entertainment, if we may use so
light a word, on so awful an occasion, opened with
the celebrated Requiem composed by MOZART, and
ithe Orchestra, which was filed by the beSt Mu-
•
scians, performe'd it %yith,most impressive effect.
,NITS.:IikETLEY, at the coturrieneenrent of the se-
cond part, recited with great ability THE MONODY,
wliich will be seen in another part of our Paper,
and which strongly affected the audience. It is
attributed to Mr. C,Amt.Bgt,L;the Author of '' The
Pleasures of Hope." The rest of the evening'was
devoted to miscellaneOns pieces, but all of the
same solemn description, and were chiefly as fol-
lows :-1-lAisarEL's Funeral Anthem, the words of
which were peculiarly appropriate—

" When the ear heard her, then it blessed her; and
.when
the eye saw her, it Fav,e,witness of her.
She delivered the poor that cried ; kindness, meekness,
and comfort were in her tongue," &c.

Holy, holy, Loi'd God Almighty," was done
perfect justice to, by Hie exquisite melody of Mrs.
SALMON,. and was most 'rapturously encored.
Gentle Airs," finely -sung 'by Mr. T. COOKE,
tras'also demanded. again.

The Anthem composed by the late Rev; Dr.
BLAKE, called for peculiar attention. The whole
was received, as- it should be, not With loud accla-
mations, but the- more affecting expression of
silent sympathy and sorrow.

The.draft was presented a short time previous
to the charge, and as soon as it was ascertained
to be a forgery, Mr. Vile questioned the prisoner
as to the mode ill which lie became possessed of
it : the:lroy said lie brought it from a Mr..Johu-
son at the New York Coffee-house, who order-
ed him to receive the amount and bring it to him.
In answer to a question from Mr Vile, the boy
said he had no knowledge of -Mr. Johnson.. Mr.
Vile desired hint to go to the New-York Coffee-

WOMAN'S SMILE.

On earth there's nothink worth pOssetsini;
Or can thrills of life beguile, •
Without that dearest, safeetest
The magic of a woman's smile.

The glare of wealth, the pomp of fame,
Are senseless treasures, joyless, rile;
Are bzuibles with a splendidname,
Without the charm of woman's smile.

The noxious clouds or motley care;
That thicken round our joys awh►le
Like morning mist, dissi►lye in air
Before the beams of woman's

How sweet the sun's brig.ht beams must be,
Aftet long. night, to Zeinhhes Isle !,

But oh ! much sweeter far to me,
The sunshine of a woman's smile !

Then place me, Fate, wherc'rr you may
'Mid dreary waste, or savage isle;
For o'er my soul no gloom can stray,
While I am blest with woman's smile.

SIR FRANCIS BURDETT.—However we may dif-
fer in, politics with
.this Gentleman, we shall be
always ready to rio justice both to his public and
private conduct. As it is known that the
ronet is gone to attend the trial of Rooeit O'Cotl-,-
NOR, in Ireland, unfavourable suppot,itions have
been entertained, and his journey has been im-
puted to a political bias, which prevents him from
judging rightly even on matters not relating 'to
public affairs. The truth, hoWeve'r, we undzr-
staudi is, that Sir FRIOCCIs wits aware of the pro-
bability of such suppositious,••and therelore,
though he was legally required to. attend on the •
occasion, lie consulted with his•most judicious
friends as to the propriety of his going, anti Orgy
all advised him to.do so, particularly as he himself
felt a conscientious sense of duty lest, if any Un-
fastourable'result should occur, and 'he were ab-
sent, it should be supposed that his evidence, Of
whatever nature, might hive been in favour of the
prisoner. Such a feeling is flinch to be respected,
and therefore we feel some pleasure in stating the
circumstance as, we arc assured, was actually the
case.

RUPTURES CURED AT THE MEDICAL BOARD.
TN consequence of the extensive practice of
JCL the Medical Board, at Charlotte House, Blackfriars-
road, Drs. COOPER, MUNROE, and CO. hare, for the
accommodation of patients residing at the West end of the
Town, established another Medical Board in Woodstock-
Street, Oxford-street, a few doors from Bond-street, where a
Physician and Surgeon, Members of the Royal College of
London, of thirty years experience, constantly reside. That
thousands have been restored to perfect health by their
united talents is indisputable, after Hospitals had failed,
many of whom had been great sufferers from being impro-
perly treated by persons ignorant of the profession. Erup-
tions on the bead, face, and body, ulcerated thtoat, swel-
lings-in the neck, nodes on the shin bones, cancers, stric-
tures, fistulas, pains in the head and limbs, and net vous
dibility, are the consequence of an ill-cured contagion, and
which symptoms frequently appear years after, and destroy
domestic happiness.
Messrs. Cooper, Munroe, and Co. are consulted daily at
both houses, or by letters from the country, stating particu-
lars, when medicine and the best advice will be sent to all
parts of the kingdom.
There are side doors at each house, and private rooms for
females. Advice gratis on Tuesday, ThUrsday, and Sunday
mornings, until twelve o'clock.

WORSHIP-STREET.

POISONING FowLs.—Yesterday Mr. Mayne, of
Islington, was charged before Jou N GIFFOIID,
Esq. with unlawfully and maliciously -scattering
poison on the premises of Mr. James Seers, his
next door neighbour, and also.in the public street,
whereby 18 fowls belonging to Mr. Seers were
destroyed.

Mr. Seers stated, that he rents his house from
Mr.-Lytle, who has an ,empty house adjoining;
their gardens are separated by a fence of 8 feet
high. About four months back Mr.L.soaked barley
in arsenic,which i threw in his own garden, and by
which several of Mr. Seers' fowls were destroyed.
lie, •Mr. Seers, then remonstrated with him, but
he answered by saying, :"D—nyou, if you hada
thousand •I'll poison them, and atter that .Will
poison ye all " • Mr. Seers since then had been
compelled to keep his children within doors, fearful
of their being poisoned ; but Mr. Lyne had thrown
the barley front his own garden into his, and
would sweep the poisoned barley off the:gravel
walk in his own garden to Mr. Seers' gate ; and
he was at length compelled to adopt the present
proceeding fur the safety of the lives of his family.
Edward Seers, junior, deposed that he saw Mr.
Lyne throw poisoned barley into his father's gar-
een on Thursday last.
Mr. John Cronnis saw the poisoned,baileyly-
ing in Mr. Seers' garden, and also at the gate in
the public street. He thought the lives of Mr.
Seers' children would be in danger, and that it
was also dangerous to the public at large.'
Me. Joseph Jones, a respectable neighbour, de-
posed, that he saw five of the fowls dead, and five
more in a dying state ; he saw some of the poi-
soned barley taken out of their stomach, and saw
the barley strewed about Mr. Seers' garden. He
was present when Mrs. S. tied • Mr. L. had words
in consequence of the poison, and he heard Mr. L.
say he had given them a pill, and that if there was
• a thousand he would kill them all.
Mr. Lytle was proceeding to state that the fowls
had'lrespassed On his garden, when Mr. GIFFORD
'told liim he thought that he was not aware of the
seriousness fit-the charge ; that he was not justi-
fied even in putting poison maliciously on his own
premises : he quoted an instance, where, under
similar circumstances, damages 'had been recover-
ed in an action at law ; and another case where
an indiiidual had het'n executed for putting poison
in ti trough at Newmarket, whereby a valuable
horse had been, poisoned. The present case, lie
tkought,.recuired further consideration, and con-
seqtiently he, should require rueponsible sureties
for his appearance, on a, future day. Mr. Lyne
being providc,d.with the security requited, was set
at liberty till a further-hearing. • •

WOODWARDS V. LEH.

• This was also an action of assault.—Mr.
wool) opened the pleading, and Mr. GURNEV
stated the case to the Jury:
It appeared that both parties were masters ef
ceremony in the equine department of two_ inns at
Gravesend, from which rival:stagecoaches started,
one called the Lord Nelson, and the other the
Blue Eyed Maid, for Loudon. The plaintiff, who.
catered for the Blue Eyed Maid, excited the envy
of the defendant, by the number of adherents,
which he enlisted on the side of his, patroness,
,the latter conceiving - that the greater respect
was due, in these " piping times of peace,"
to the fame and memory of his hero,. for whom
he wished to monopolize all the itinerants
.from Gravesend to the metropolis, Fur
a con-
siderable time the rival champions kept within
the bounds of legitimate emulation, but on, Sui'-,
day, the 15th June last, an incident occurred
whicb brought their exertions to a sanguinary
issue. A soldier, attracted by the charms of the
Blue Eyed Maid, paid homage at her shrine, and
was inonediattly admitted amongst her votaries;
but the defendant thinking a hero of Waterloo a:
fitter ally for the Hero of the,Pille, took offeile'e atti
the conquest made by his fair rival,.and immediate-
ly'commenced an attack upon her active City
to whose insidious artifice he attributed t seduc.:
don of the soldier. Ile planted a dreadful' blotti
upon the nasal promontory of the plaintiff's vi-
sage, -trom which immediately gushed a- dreadtut
lieniorrhage, and before 'he had time to reecov-ei,
the coMpo•stire ot his nerves, another -blow from
the defendant's sinister feeler, put one of his op-
tics in semi-mourning, and utterly incapacitated
him fOr a fair trial of his own pirgiltstie prowesi.
lie took refuge under cover ot the Blue Ey4
Maid, but his antagonist following up the assault
with tremendous fury, laid hint prostrate amongst
his horses' feet, where it was probable lie t °old:
have been trampled to death but for the interpo-
sition of the by-standers, by whom he was
rescued from his perilous situation, and cat tied
out of the reach of the defendant's further vio-
lence.

For this outrageous assault the present action
was brought,,and the Jury, under ail the circum-
stances of the case, found for the plaintiff—Da=

CIVIL SIDE.-ABRAHAMS V. CLIFFORD, ESQ.

This was an action of assault. The plaintiff, a
young Israelite, who sued by his next friend, Judai
So'onions, carried on the business of a Slap-seller,
at Sheerness : and the defendant, at the time of
the transaction in quest ion,•wai a Lieutenant-Co-
lonel in his Majesty's service, commanding a re-
giMent.stationed at Sheerness barracks, and now
tone with his regiment to India.,
It appear6l that the defendant, suspecting the
plaintiff to have bought some regimental shirts of
some of his men, contrary to the Mutiny Act,
went to his shop, accompanied by a sergeant and
two or three privates, for the purpose of making
search. The plaintiff was at fist disinclined to
shew his slops ; but the defendant, insisting upon
examining' his raggery, found, upon turning over
a bundle of Old shirts, one which was instantly re-
cognized, by conspicuous marks, to belong to the
regiment which thee defendant commanded.* Upon'
demand to yield up the property-the plaintiff stood
(pen the right of possession, and said he should
not part. with the shirt without an-cquivaleor„--.,

41 To THE EDITOR OF THE LEEDS MERCURY.

" Sr rt,—l have seen a Declaration, in your. Paper of this
day, signed " Charles Ilearnshaw," which I shOuld deem
unworthy of my notice, but for your insinuation that I had
tanipered with feet it a duty I owe to myself to say,
and am ready to mike oath, that "was pre*ent at his exa-
mination before Mt— Allen, the Magistrate; and am quite
certain llcarriShaw never mentioned the Cavalry having fired
first upon the Mob, nor ga•'e the least intimation of such a
thing lb Mr. Allen ; and l••po:itivily deny that I asked anY
" favour" of, or " tampered" with him-in any way.. 1 recol-
lect, however, that whilst I *as in the waiting-room of the
Grand Jury, previous -to my t•xamitation before the I
was informed that Hearnshaw had been saying that the Ca-
valry fired first, nd I then observed that he Must be mistaken
as to that, because Captain Anovtage, Mr. David Alexander,
and George Whitehead, would ail prove the mob fired first,
as they were all near the bridge as well as he.

" The paltry circumstance ahont the Oran Are Bribe arose
from the complaints of Gyorge Armitage and himself being
detained so long without dinner, whilst waiting upon the
Grand Jury ; tt Gent kman, on bearing them complain, gate
them a biscuit, and I gave them a shilling for oranges.—
These /his(4 were given in the most public manner, as many
iersons then present can testify.
" The Public wilt ledge of the falsehood of I-learnshaw's
Declaration, from his statement that I said, I should contra-
dict him, when it was a well-known fact that I was three
miles from the bridge at the time of the firing.

no pair of them could 'lie divested, •so- bulk as'
any demand for them continued, Unless-some-sub—
stitute were provided in their place. there then
we have the clear and distinct ()pinion of Parlia-,
meta on the point at issue, at a time when the
pledge, if given, mtist be fresh in every man's'
recollection ; for if this Taxhad really been, in-,
tended as a contribution towards carrying on the
war, and to cease with it, Patliament ' would
never. have appropriated it, to permanent pur-
poses, but would have distinguished that ditty
front the other brancheS of the revenue, and re-
served it as a temporary Tax, to be repealed as
soon .as the occasion which called for it ceased to
exist; With the solemn pledge attributed to Mr.
Corry, this conduct of Parliathent, therefore,
cannot
.be reconciled, whereas it is perfectly con-
sistent with the words he is reported to have used
on the introduction of the measure into the [louse

of Commons, for it was certainly competent to
Parliament at, any time to typeal the Tax in ques-
tion ; only in doing so,.publie faith would require
that snflicient, ways and Means should•be provided
for the purposes .of the appropriation to which 1
have just I eierfed ; is tOrtiitj to be obser v•
eel, tnal supposing 'Mr. Corry, in the year 1799,
to have given the pledge alluded to, and that if
given, it would have been binding upon Isis suc-
cessor, which I deny, the very appropriation
made by Parliament in the yea,r 1600, would
haVe relieved them from tht ir obligatitin,,the one
being totally inconsistent with the other. Every.
thing that has occurred since, corroborates the'
view J have taken of this transaction. Ott the

Peace of Amiens, when, according to the argil=
occur, this Tax ought absolutely to have ceased,
not withstanding Lord Sidmouth relieved the pet?...
pie of England from the burden of the 1:1come
Tax, the Window Tax was continued in Ireland,
and I do not recollect that this country made any
complaint, or charged Parliament with it breach
off faith on that account. In some time after the'
war recommenced, and it haVjug been the pr,F.
rice in Ireland to continue. the several brandies of
OA. revenue by annual Acts, though applicAle to
