Sir Pdward Specious. on his travtismetts with the Delinquent in
a poor Italian t.n,al moil peri fhin Le for want, and know a hlm to be the
man who wronged and betrayed his f..ther, hot t urging in oblivion
all paft injuries, lit uFt ra to proted him and bring him to England,
where the Delinquent keret), writhes to come, for the fake of
reeking his loft trcariort —they arrive—and in the firft all it ap-
pears the Delinquent has hound himfelf to execute whatever his
patron orders and Sir Edward, having fallen in love with Mifs
Olivia Tornado, who is at febool at Mrs. Aubrey's, and who
thwarts him in his &fist's, he orders the Delinquent to arreft
her for money due to him for rent, thus hoping to get Olivia into
his powerhut being difappointed, owing to Young Dorle's fjf-
tern of feting company, he commands the Delinquent to bear her
on board his yacht, who at tirft hcfitates•. but Sir Edward tel-
ling hint that he Ibali fail to Northumtteriand, the very county
where he expo is to find the loft treafure that he teaks, and to
gain which he has revifited England at all hazards, he contents.—
and in the fourth aa, when on the point of forcing Olivia on
board the yacht, the Delinquent finds ibe is his own daughter, the
very tmfure that he fought—afterwards, in the fifth aft, he is
perfuaded by M.jor Tornado to deliver Olivia to the care of Mrs.
Aubrey, who proves to be the wife of the Delinquent, whom he
thought dead, and who, having reduced him to dlfgrace and beg-
gary, turns governefs to her daughter, on purpofe to teach her to
avoid thole errors the has herfeif fallen a vidtim to—they are
confequently reconciled, and by the penitence of Sir Edward,and
the benevolence of Major Tornado, the Delinquent is rettored to
frail= and profperity.
- - - -

The comic part of the play Goa fts of the quarrels
and reconciliation of Old and roan: Doric, architects
and partners—and whilft Lady Puny (the DA:quota's
wife) ruins her hufband by feting company, roung Doric
is made by it, for in the end he gets trade, and the
hand of Olivia.

As the Author, in the firueure of his fable, has
rather outatipped the bounds of probability, fu the
chief novelty of charadter which he has exhibited
confilis in the outre delineation of the Dories, father
and fon, but which are rendered extremely entertain-
ing by le ailing of Fewcavy and Limits, though
not equal to the talents of thofe performers. 31 j
Stoic is alfo a (ketch of but (lender merit. The part
of the DcEnquent, (Sir Arthur Court") is &only
drawn, and calculated to difplay, to confiderable ad-
vantage, the abilities of Mr. Cooas, for whom it was
particularly written : as, however, that gent'eman,
from Tome caufe which temains to be explained, has
declined it, it has fallen to the lot of Mr. Katsina,
in whole hands it has received tome very mallerly
touches in his peculiar manner, that will probably
ellabliflt it as legitimately his own. Sir Adward Ste
ciout is a common-place man of gallantry, of loofe
principles, but fair exterior, tolerably reprefentedby
Banwrott. • In Major Tornado, a kind of charaCter
familiar to the aCtor, MuNDCN is particularly felici-
tous; and EsssßY is very fuccefsful in a Yorkiiiire
Tailor. Mrs. H. Jost tarot' is highly intereain in
Olivia; and Mrs. GIBBS and Mrs. Diaota Inflamed

the parts of Mrs. Atbrry and M[: Stoic very ably.—
Some few marks of difapprobation were laR night
manifelled here and there, but, upon the whole, the
Comedy was extremely well received. Neither the
Prologue nor the Epilogue had any thing particular
to recommend them, if we except an appeal to the
feelings of the audience, on the recent death of our
great Naval Hero, at the clofe of the latter, very
pathetically delivered by Mrs. H. lionnsrow, but
which, we think, though well timed, was rather ill
placed.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

FIFE HUNT.

The Hunt met at Cupar on Monday the 28th Oc-
tober, for the week. The meeting, although, the
company was not fo numerous as on fume former
=Awls, was an excellent cne.
The balls were given in their ufual good (file, and
the races afforded much (port.

This was a very interelting race, hard running both
heats, betwixt the fiat three from the fluting poll,
and each only gained by half a length.
The main of cocks did not afford much amufement,
even to the amateurs in cockfighting.

The yoting woman who murdered her infant, of
which fhe was delivered on her journey with her fel-
low fervants, from Brighton, about a month ago,
made her efcape 'aft Sunday. She was to have been
removed to Horiham gaol on Tuefday, to take her
trial.
A few days fince as the St. Clement Danes Vo-
lunteers were firing a feu-de joie, one of the pieces,
containing three charges, went off at half cock, by
which the right hand man, Mr. Jackfon, of the zd
company, received a very ferious hurt in the face.
On Wednefday night, the 6th infant, about eleven
o'clock, the houfe of Mr. William Frolt, perfumer and
hair-dreffer, No. z 6, Thayerlreet, Manchefter-
fquare, was entered by a man, by means of a key;
he proceeded until arriving at the apartment where
Mrs. Broil fat alone reading, and then prefenting a
piltol he commanded her to be fluent, and taking a
handkerchief out of her hand bound it over her eyes;
took a rope with which he was provided, tied her
hands behind her, and palling it downwards, bound
her legs together with the fame, and in fo fevere And
'hocking a manner as to caufe the moll excruciating
pain, and for a time deprive her of the ufe of her
limbs. The villain then proceeded to ranfack the
place ; broke open the bureau, and took therefrom
cans and notes amounting to about (a;y pounds, with
which ke got clear off.

LA, INTSLLIGANCI.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOVEMBER 14.
THE KING e. SETA*.
Mr. SOLICITOR GENERAL prayed the judgment of
the Court on this Defendant, who had been tried
before Mr. Janice Lawrence, at the late affizes at
Hereford, and conviaed of appropriating to his own
ufe a quantity of falt; it appeared that the fait was
in the Defendant's care fur the ufe of certain M-
eurer& in Brecknockihire, and that the Defendant was
inverted with the controul and entire management
.of the fame. The falt fo ufed in curing fiat paid no
duty, while that not fo applied was charged. The
Defendant endeavoured to defraud the revenue by
(*Are returns, fiaitious affidavits, &c. and of this of-
fence he had been fully conviaed, after a long trial.
The Court ordered him to be committed to New-
gate, and brought up again for judgment on Mon-
day the agth.
THR KING V. FRANCIS WILSFORD.
' This perfon was brought up to receive the judg-
ment of the Court, for an affault upon Mr. George
Crehriff, an Attorney at Tavirtock. The Defendant
had fuffered judgment to go by default, and the faits
were adduced to the Court on affidavits, from which
it appeared, that Mr. Wilsford and Mr. Crederiff
were both Attornies at Tavirtock, and a difpute arc&
between theft two gentlemen, concerning the taxa-
tion of a bill of colts in tome !stiners of a Mr.
Williams ; and the Defendant, in a letter to Mr.
Crederiff, told him, that he had behaved in a man-
ner which would add little to his credit in taking
away Mr. Williams's hulloes. With the view of
vindicating his conduit, the Profecutor affixed the
following letter again& the door of the church, ad-
dreffed to the Defendant--
" Sir—When I applied to you for your bill of colts I received
no anfwer: and the arbitrator was obliged to proced without it.
I pofitively deny your ungenerous &Cation, that I have injured
you in Mr. Williams's builnefs; and nothing but your jealous dif-
poStion could warrant such behaviour.
(Signed) " T. CREDIRIFT.*
The morning after the publication of this letter,
Mr. Wilsford knocked at the door of the Profecutor,
which was immediately opened, but before he could
be informed if Mr. Crederiff could be spoken with,
he milted into his office, and pulling a horfewhip
from under his coat, (truck the Profecutor acrofs the
(boulders, on the head, and on various parts of his
body. After this, he feized him by the collar, and
held him in that ituation for tome minutes, using
the molt abufive language. He then left the office,
atjthe fame time threatening him with further injury.
—After this grofs infult, the Profecutor wrote the
following letter to Mr. Wilsford—
Sir—Notwithltandlng the manner in which you have treated
me, I icon' to treat you in the fame way ; and though your con
duet is fuch as no Gentleman would put up with, yet, if you are
willing to make a (bitable apology, I confect that the affair Stall
P no further, etherwife I (ball reran for my remedy to public
jultice." (Signed) " T. CRlLDillflr."
This note was returned open by the perfon who
brought it, and with it this meffage to the Profecm
tor-44 You may tell your mailer I will fee him
d—n'd fink ; it is beneath my notice to make him any
apology." In confequence, this information was
prefented.
Mr. ERSKINz, for the profecntion, offered to refer
the whole matter to Mr. Templar, Mailer of the
Crown Office, as the parties were all profeffional men,
and from the fame part of the country.
The Court, however, thought it a fubjea in which
the Matter could not interfere.
Mr. Ea sKINE then obferved, it was molt extraor-
dinary, that all affaults of this kind were committed
by perfons of the molt peaceable difpofitions. He
admitted, the polling of the letter was wrong, but it
was done in vindication of him(elf, being charged
with taking the Defendant's clients from him.
Mr. Serjeant Laos, and Mr. DAM r att made a few
obfervations on the fame fide.
Mr. Easy, for the Defendant, dwelt on the circum.
(lance of the whole bufinefs being of a private na-
ture only, between thefe two petfons, till the profe-
cutor publifhed the letter, which was the caufe of all
the fubfequent circumstances. The Defendant was
young M4ll jolt coming into praaice, as an attor•
ney. and bore a molt excellent charaCter, as appeared
from his affidavits. He had made, and was frill rea-
dy to make, any conceffions that might be thought
necerfat y ; and, under thefe eircumftances, he trolled
the Court would temper juftice with mercy.
Lord ELLENIOROUGH..—" He did not oondefcend
to give any anfwer to the profecutor's letter ; for
my part, my own feelings would have diaated that
I (hooter have made an apology, and begged pardon.
The public, to be lure, had nothing to do with the
private letter which was polled up ; but that was
done by the profecutor, in exculpation of himfelf.—
The Defendant takes up the means of offence, and
carries his horfewhip about him, accumulates insult
upon infult, and he thinks it beneath his notice to
make an apology. From the perfevering fpirit, on
his part, to humble and degrade this gentleman, it
is neceffary we should put him in Come humiliating
fituation—therefore, let him Band committed to the
King's Bench, and be brought up for judgment on
Thurfday next."
Thomas Philips, who had been indiaed for an at-
fault, with intent to murder an Excite Officer, was
convicted of a common affault the fall affizes for Car-
marthenlbire, and brought up for judgment this day.
The Defendant was a publican, and the Piofecutor
had gone to his houfe in fearch of tome smuggled
brandy, when the former (truck him with a (hovel,
declaring he intended to kill him.
On the interference of the Profecutot, the Defen-
dant was ordered to be difcharged at the end of one
month, and to give his own fecurity to keep the
peace for three years.
John Otter was alto brought up for judgment,
convicted along with one Randall, for affaulting
John Ferris, Mate of the Seagul revenue cutter, and
an Excife Officer,and obaruaing him in the cid-chat ge
of his duty.
Randall did not appear, and Otter was committed
and ordered to be brought up on the zsth inft.
John Dtmllan, for a like offence upon Richard
Lille, a Revenue Officer. It appearing that he had
committed a Similar offence Tome time ago, for which
he was imprifoned two years, the Court ordered bins
to be committed to Newgate, and alto to be brought
up on the zgth.
Swift-and Bones, limed to have been notorious
fmuggleis, were convii9ed of a similar offence. The
latter had lance abkonded, and his recogniaances
were acaordingly eltreated.

Swift was committed, and ordered tc be bight
up on the fame day with the others.
Charles Lower, Charles Jameson, James M.ndv,
and French Rich, for various similar offences ar„tinli
the Revenue Officers, were alto remanded till the 25th.
William Salmon, and James Pastel, two
ble innkeepers at Deal, were alto brought up for
judgment, conviaed the IA aflizes for Maidllone, of
affaulting Mr. James Stewart, Lieutenant and Com-
mander of his Majefty's hired armed cutter the Jac-
kall. The caufe of difpute between thofe parties,
Arnie from Mr. Stewart's requetting that the Defen-
dants would flicker a poor man, whom he tnund its
the road, either dead, or in a (late of infenfihility,
about two o'clock in the morning ; an alternation
took place, and the Defendants affaulted the Lieu-
tenant, and took his dirk from him, which they St oke
in two.

Mr. G&uow, for the Defendants, obferved, that
in a town fuch as Deal, it was well known that
drunken tailors were to be found at all hours of the
night, lying in the &reetc. His clients thought this
might be the cafe, and refuted admittancc to Ma
man in queftion. In fad, it was the waiter, and not
the Defendants, who -did to..
Lord ELLENIOROVGN thought, that in the mite
of common humanity, no honk thould refute to give
aiEflance at any hour.
The Dgendants were ordered to go before the
Mailer, for the purpofe of making Ma pecuniary
compenfation as he Ihould award.

The cafe which was agitated at Matlboronglh-
fireet office, Come time fince, between a Major in the
Army, and a Pawnbroker in St. James'4, was finally
decided on Wednefday. It has been already limed,
that the property was Rolen from the Major's houfe,
in great Pulteney-greet, by Sophia Dale, his fervant,
on the 2t ft of September, and pledged at the Shop
of the pawnbroker. The Major fonght to recover
the property, but the pawnbroker retufed to deliver
it, on the ground that it had often been pledged and
redeemed by the fervent. He undertiood that fbe
pledged the property for her mitlrefs, the Officer's
companion. The pawnbroker went over his former
oblations, and Rated, that if he were bound to deli-
ver the property, he might Shut up his (hop, as any
one might make a Similar claim. The Magittrate,
who had deferred his decifion for a manth, felt him-
felf bound to order the reftoration of the property.--
A claufe in the AR enabled him to decide on the
point where the thief had abfconded, and the evi-
dence was fufficiently fitong to prove the articles
were the property of the officer. If a convittion took
place at the Old Bailey, the property would be re.
(toted, and the claufe in the AR enabled Magic-
trates to decide, where the thief could not be taken.
The pawnbroker hid he had legal authority to per.
Mt in the detention of the property, but he was re-
latantly obliged to fubmir, and the articles were de-
livered up.

CORDIAL BALM OF GILEAD.

THIS Cordial has been uncommonly fuccefsful
with young people, who have the appearance and air of old
age; who are pale, effeminate, benumbed, ftupid, and even imbe-
cile ; whore bodies are become bent, whole legs are no longer able
to carry them ; who have an utter diftafte for every thing, and
are totally incapacitated. Where the ftomaeh is frequently dire*,
dered, the body is weakoped ; Intends, bodily decay, and emaci-
ation fuecaed, and the.esll fink into the bead. The virtues of
the CORDIAL BALE OCGILRAD are daily desnonitrated, in eradi.
eating the worn and moft dangerous 4,mptonss of nervous deli.
lity ; and nothing has tended fo mbch to blab:lib the fans,• of this
nualicine, as its certain fucccfs in thufe complaints which ftrike
their roots fo deep In the conftitution, and are fu fatal to the hap-
