WESTALINS SCIVOL.

This celebrated seminary, venerable for its antiquity
and for the many eminent men who have received their
early education within its walls, s:ill asserts its claim to
classical excellence. We last night witnessed the re-
hearsal, by the Ktruis scholars, of Tisanes's well-
known comedy of The Adelphi. We found some diffs•
culty in making good our entrance to she Theatre, tem-
porarily erected to the dormitory; but the talent dis-
played by the young Gentlemen amply repaid all the
inconvenience we experienced frotn the pressure of the
throng who surrounded the door, not to say a word
about the raja, which came down with great violence.
The characters were thus represented :

Frequently as we have seen the plays of TRRENDE per-
formed at Westminster, we do not remember ' any per-
formance which, as a whole, was superior to that of
last night. It was not a mere school-boy effort, where
the memory is active while the understanding is asleep;
correct taste, and an accurate knowledge of the text,
were observed in every scene. The strongly-contrasted
brothers, Mitio and Dense (ilk diem sa sra placidus
hie diem citra irant feet's) were exceedingly well re-
presented by Messrs. H. SANDERS and T. -Kumar.—
Mr. D. M. Dosmor's Sawao was uncommonly good.
He dressed the character well, and was, jn truth, a
most entertaining ruffian. Had we met him in a the'
Fives'-'court," we should have worshipped him: Syrus,
that serous oaferrinsus, was very ably sustained by Mr.
F. MARKHAM. He told his various lies with easy confi-
dence; and hoaxed the crabbed Dessea with much easy
humour. His drunken scene was pleasantly acted. This,
young man has evidently great talents for the stage; but
we hope that PROVIDENCI will placehim iu a shorter and
more pleasant road to fame and fortune. The part of
Aschines was cleverly represented by Mr. J. G. Pisit.i4-
swag. One of the best acted scenes in the Play was
that which occurs towards the end of the Fourth Act,
where the goodness of Mitio raises to happiness the
despairing £schinus. M. SANDERS and Mr. Pati.t.t.
MORE were here unusually successful. The rough blunt-
ness of Cksiplso was given with good effect by Mr. H.
CHESTER. But no character in the Play was performed
with greater effect than. that of &strata, by Mr. J. M.
HEATH. It was full of feeling and delicacy. Nothing
could be more chaste and tender than the lamentation
of Sostrata, when she is induced to believe that Ascot&
nus bas abandoned her daughter. It was a beitutifel
piece of recitation, and drew down thunders ef.opp
plause. The parts of Gdo, Hegio, and Cantliarts, um*
sustained with much ability. The audience was very.
numerous, and frequently attesied the satisfaction they
derived from the performance by loud applause.
Count Sr. Ass-onto has lett town on a visit to the
Earl of Rases, at his seat, Cublobory Park, Herts.
A dreadful storm, on the Slst of October, desolated
the coasts of Normandy and Bretagne, doing much

By accounts from Hayti, we learn that the Prohibition
Act,,as regards trade between that Republic and the

- OLD BAILEY—THIS DAY.
Henry Harris, a young man who was stated-t*l;e
the son of an eminent watch-maker, was put to the bar
on an indictment, charging him capitally with stealing
from the person of Mr. Thomas NeWton, a watch and
its appendages, on the 17th of November last. A
number of witnesses were called to speak to the cha-
racter of the prisoner, all of whom gave him a very
good one.
Mr. Justice Barter summed up the evidence to the
Jury, who, after a short consultation, found the pri-
soner—Guilty, Death—but recommended him to mere;.

James Compton and Thoneas Denton were indicted for
burglarious'', breakidg and entering the dwelling-house
of Dr. William Hammond, of Ssuthgate, on the 26th
of October last, and stealing therefrom two coats, of
the value of £5.

It appeared that on the evening'of the above day the
prosecutor left his house io attend a patient about nine
o'clock, and returned in an hour : while he was absent
his surgery was broken open, and the two coats taken
away. The prisoner Compton had been the prosecu-
tor's coachman, and discharged a few days before the
robbery. Both he and Denton weir seen offering the
coats for sale the next morning ; and after they were in
custody, the coats were got from Denton's wife in a
mutilated state. Reid, a Row-street patrol, stated that
Compton confesied it was their intention to tub Dr.
Hammonds hen-roost that night ; for which purpose
they waited at Denton's house until they were joined
by another man, known only to Denton. :They all three
went to Dr. Hammond's, and he (Compton) knowing
the premises got over the wall and let the stranger in.
They proceeded to the foe, 1-house, and wrung off the
heads of several fowls, which they put into a sack. They
then went to -the. surgery, broke it open, and took the
coats, While Denton stood sentinel. They next pro-
ceeded to the Chequers public-house, where Denton
broke open the fowl-house, and took away the fowls,
which, with the others, the prisoners took to market
next day ; but he (Compton) did lint participate in the
fruits of the robbery. Compton afterwards said that
the third man's name was Banks. •

Compton, in his defence, said that he was led into the
business by Denton, but denied the doors being locked.
Denton disavowed all knowledge of the robbery, and
said he knew nothing of the fowls until he reached
Bishopsgate. They were conveyed into hii cart by
Compton, who had requested to ride into town with him.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY, in charging the Jury, informed
them that Compton's confession was evidence against
himself, but not against Denton. If, therefore, they
convicted the latter, it must be by other evidence, hide.
pendent of Compton's confession. •
Thejury found Compton guilty, and acquitted Denton.
Saatuel Gulliver was indicted for stealing from the
person of Wm.. Thomson, a silver, watch, a gold seal,
and key, his pioperty. .
Mr. Thomson stated that he lodged in the Borough,
and was a pupil in St. Thomas's Hospital. On the day
of the Lord Mayor's procession,between three and four,
as he was proceeding through the crowd over Black-
fria'r's-bridge, he heard something chink in his waist-
coat pocket, and putting his hand to his fob, he missed
his.wateh. Upon looking round, he perceived it in the
prisoner's hand, who was in the act of putting it into
his pocket. He•ithmediately seized him, and took his
women :rota him. The prisoner delivered It up easily,
keying-0 Now you have got your pro rty, let me go."
The prosecutor, however, called out for an officer, and
held the prisoner until one came, to whom he gave him
in charge. •
T. Potter, the constable, stated that he took the pri-
soner to the witch-hotise, and although he handcuffed
him,. he contrived to get away froin haw. He re-seized
him however, upon which the prisoner observed, that
" he was now in for a journey to the Compter, from
that to Court, and from chill to Botany."
Piisoner.—lt is all false what that perjuring rascal is
swearing.
The Recomma asked the Witness, upon his oath, if
what he had just stated were true ?
The witness said, upon his oath, it was, and repeated
the words used by the prisoner.
The Recommit then told the kisoner he might bring
witnesses to contraditt the testimony of the constable,
if it was false.
The prisinter asked if it was possible for any man of
common sense to believe that he would say such a thing
to an officer, as " what that perjuring rascal, who would
swear a Man's life iwlty, was stating ?" -
The RiCORDER told' the prisoner he did not know
what he would say ; bitk he was not serving himself by
what hews saying there.
The prisoner being then celled upon for his defence,
said that he had picked the watch up.m.ilio street, and
upon the .prosecutor alleging that it was his, he de-
livered it up to him at puce.,
The Jury unhesitatingly fotind'him Gailty.
The RI:CORDER ordered hip to be immediately
brought up for judgment, and Sentenced him forthwith
to be transported during the term of his natural life.
The prisoner, who is. a tall, well-made, slight lad,
*bout 18 yfiars of age, reired from the bar smiling.
Martin Purcell was convicted of stealing a pack, con-
taining cotton goods to the value of 531. the property of
Messrs: Dudley and Pattison. He was seen by a con-
stable in ,St. Martin's-le-Grand, in company with two
Other meu, with the pack in his possession. Not being
able to give a satisfactory account of how it came into
his possession, the constable took him into custody.
The Recommit sentenced him to seven years' trans-
I •
potation.

George Jame Moturtfiord, a chimney-weeper, was in-
dicted for stealing a mare, value 17/. the property of
George Dainer. The cansetutor lives in Berkshire, and,
his son, having occasion to go to Bernham on the 6th of
November, slept there that night, at the Crispin public-
house. He had rode the mare in question, which was
put up in the stable of the Crispin. He .observed she'
prisoner there, who asked him some questions respect-
ing the mare, and. looked into its mouth. When he (the
prosecutor% son) got up next morning the mare was
missing. Suspecting that she might have been conveyed
to Smithfield-market, he immediately proceeded to Lat-
ins, and reaching Smithfield before dote o'clock, he
there recognised the object of his pursuit. Having pro-
cured the assistance of two peace-officers, the prisoner,
who had the mare in his possession, was taken into cus-
tody: He told the officers that the mare 'was his pro-
long, and that he bad bought her at St. Alban's, for
two cloakies and a one-pound note.
,In his defence to-day, heaaid that he had met a man
ea the road who employed him to ride the mate tap to
town, for the purpose of being sold in SmitbSeltd: .Ver-

NAVAL COURT-MARTIAL.
ITONOURABLR ACQUITTAL OF CAPTAIN HARRIS.
PoRTSlloovii, proceedingsof the Cour-
t in the case of Captain G nonce HARRIS, C.B.
of his Majesty's ship I:usla a, closed this afternoon,
when the following sentence was pronounced That
the charges have not been proved against the said Capt.
11 George Harris, grid are without any foundation; thatthe
communications loom -.lie Foreign 0/lice to the Admi-
ralty, originating in the letters of Sir Edward Thornton
to the .Under Secretary of State, mentioning therein that
the Hussar. was not ready for sca, are totally without
foundation, as that ship. appears to have been in perfect
readiness to put in esecution the orders from the Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty, from the moment of
her anchoring in the Sound, on the 9th of August, and
to have been solely and entirely delayed by the
nort-
embarkation of Sir Edward Thornton; and that no
blame whatever was imputable to Captain George Har-
ris, who; on the contrary, appears to have acted throogh-
out with his accustomed zeal and promptitude: nor bas
the conduct of the said Captain George Harris been in
any way contrary to the discipline of the Royal Navy,
highly prejudicial to the public interest, or his Majesty's
service:* and the Court sloth therefore adjudge the said
Capt. George Harris to be most honourably acquitted ;
and the said Captain George Harris is hereby most ho-
nourably acquitted accordingly."
HERIFORD JAIL.

Yesterday morning, morning, Mr. Wilson, the Governor of the
County jail, received a• letter from Mr. Wontner, the
Keefer 'of Newgate, informing him that he had been
served with a wt it of habeas corpus, to produce Thomas
Thurtell alto' witness at the approaching trial of' the
prisoners for the murder of Mr. Weare. Mr. Wontner
also requested that an arrangement might be made for
the safe custody of Thomas Thurtell in the jail during
his stay at [lei tford, to which he was removed by two
turnkeys in a post-chaise.
Mr. James, a respectable farmer from Gloucester-
shire, who is married to Probert's mother, arrived at
the jail yesterday morning, and had a long interview
with his stepson. He gave him some money for pre-
sent use, and also informed him, that more was placed
in the hands of Mr. Williams, his Solicitor, for defray-
ing the expenses of his trial. • Mr. James left the town
shortly after his interview with Probert, for the purpose
of dispatching a messenger to Lidbroke' in Glonces-
tershile, and another to Kingston, Surrey, for some wit-
nesses, whose attendance he desires on the trial.
Mr. Jay and Mr. Fenton were for several hours yes-
terday again in close conference with Thurtell, whose
spirits and demeanour remain unchanged. Hunt ad-
heres with confidence to the legal force of the confession
which he made before the Magistratei,iisht says that
he will not believe that he is included lithe capital in-
dictment. Thurtell's *Solicitors decided list night, in a
consultation 'with their Counsel, • upon the affidavits
which they mean to urge in supped of their motion for

LITERATURE AND SCIENCE.
M. Schamachei has jn't puWished his Astronomical
Tibles for the year 1824. We understand that they
are conducted with the same ability and accuracy, and
arranged nearly in the same manner, as the former
(Ines: but they have not yet reached this country. An
English preface will be prefixed; skewing the nature
and use of the tables. _

SI. Reichenbach, so celebrated for his astronomical
instrunients, with which most of the foreign observato-
ries are .furnished, has relinquished this branch of his
profession, and removed toVienna,whero,he is employed
in the Imperial arsenal.- He has invented anew method
for the boring of cannon:• but at present it has not suc-
ceeded to his' wishes. Onr own excellent artist, the
unrivalled Troughton, still maintains his pre-eminence;
and we even untieipate further proofs of his superior
talents in the conytruction.of some new circles now in
contemplation. Long may he live to enjoy the fruits
of his Well-earned fame!

The -.iistrorromisthe Jahrbuch for 1826 is arrived in
too ni and contains the same variety of useful and inte-
vesting intelligence for which this work is so much
distingaished.
The third volume of the Observations made at the'
Imperial Observatory at Vienna, by M. Littrow, arid
the third volume of the Observations made at Dora
pat, by M. Struve, have also reached this country.--
Ibis latter work contains sortie very curious and into-
relating observations and remarks on double stars : to
the study of which, this distinguished astronomer has
devoted a considerable portion of his time. The same
author has.also published a list of 795 double stars, ar-.
rouged in the order ~f their right ascension ; which will

COURT OF .EXCIIRQUER,--THE SING,I,4I4FESITE&I
The SorActrisa-Gersaitar.. stated the" Case: It was an,
information filed by his Majesty's Attorneyr.Qenerell
against the defendant,
,charging him wit/s..cnneeyingl
machinery for the manufacture of cotton irelats ont o.fl
the country, contrary to the Act of Pas'ilaMeat, by
which the whole of the machinery, of which he would
prove the seizure of twenty-two packages, became for-
feited to the Crown.
George Breffett, assistant landing-waiter, said he
went with Ross and Steele, in April this year. to Pad-
Ilington, where they seized, at Holt and Kenworthy's
wharf, twelve cases, containing .machinery.
Edward George,Weale stated, that he was requested'
by the last witness to watch the defendant% Warehouse,,
'No. 79, Lower Thames-street: Witness understood th#
it was kept by a person named Jelferies.. He saw font,
cases brought out and put into a cart, and taken to a,
foreign packet wharf; they remained there some little'
time, and were then put into a lug-boat. the name on,
which was 4, A. Kent." He took a beat and followed'
the lug-boat as far as the entrance to the London Dock,i
where they were taken on board the Sirene. He then re-1
turned and landed at the Custom-ho Use-quay, and in-
firmed Breff'hu and Steele, his superior officers, of what
he had done ; this was on the 18th of last month. On
the 'day following, he, with Connell, the officer, and Mr.
Tarratt, went on board the Sirene, then lying at Bugs-
by's-hole, beyond. Blackwall ; the hatchway was open,.
and they saw the cases, one of which they opened ; they
contained each two frame-cods, and twenty-four weights,,
Made use. of in this description of machinery.
Geoffrey Connell,' an officer of the Customs, stated'
that he went with, the last witness, on the 19th of No-,
vember, on board the Sirene ; the vessel was bound'
for Calais • the freight paid, as per the Captain's magi-.
fest, was 251.
Mr. James Tarratt, residing in Charterhouse-square,
stated that he was connected with machinery upwards
of fifty years, and ie fixing Machinery for the manu-
facture of cotton goads at Nottingham and Manchester.
Witness went on board the Sirene at the request of
Mr. Breffett, and saw the four packages there, which
he examined, ,pd found them to contain frame-ends
and weights to be attached to the drawing.and roving

deceased was formerly a Solicitor, and died in August,

perty. amongst his children, and appointing his four sons
oseautoes • he gave toeash of those sons, and a daughter,
one-filth Of his property. In the month of May, 1811,
-about six or seven months after the will was made, one
• of the sons, Robe'rt, died, leaving two children ; the will
had been so worded that it left the property among the
children of the deceased, but their children were not
named, therefore the property would revert to the others,
' but it was hoped the deceased would have altefed his
• will before he died, so as to include his son's chil-
dren in the interest of the property. It has been
proved that the deceased had a great affection to-
wards the two children, 'who. lived nearly opposite
