DUBLin; 7LIbIE :7.

On Monday laft five perfons who had beep coil.
fined under Secretary's warrants, were liberated from
Kilmainham prifon.—lt appears from the recent li-
berations from the Prevot and Kilmainham prifons,
that it is not a partial but a general clemency, which
it is the intention of Government to extend to thofe
confined on firfpicion of Rate offences;
In purfuance of a writ of Habeas Corpus, direded
to the Sheriffs of the county of the city of Dublin,
Mr. Rowan appeared on Tuefday in cuftody, and
was placed at 'the bar, for the purpofe of having the
outlawry agaibft him reverted ; but upon Mr. Attor-
ney General coming into Court, he informed their
Lordfhips, that he had only been apprifed of the mat-
ter of Mr. Rowan's appearance in Court this day,. at
half paR tea o'clock this morning, and confequently
was not prepared oath-aired with the fpecific warrant
to fay how farhe was authorifed by the Crown to accede
to the prayer of the prifoner's Counfel.—After a few
words from the prifoner's Counfel in reply, who cited
the cafe of the King v. Davis (Burt. 638) and a fug.
geftion from the Court, the matter, by content, reli-
ed until all parties were more fully prepared to come
into Court upon a future day.

HAY.MAILICIT TMEATIM—Friday night a new
Comedy, in five Ads, was brought out, the Partners,
written by Pairscs }Las. In this play there ap-
peared to be Come eircomflances, which prevent a
fru tanner:l4 between the author and the public.—
Soon after the curtain was drawn up, fymptoms of
difapprobation appeared, and broke out with increa-
fing violence to the end of the petformance. We
were feveral times inclined to think that a party had
come with the premeditated purpofe of damning the
piece ; and certainly it was treated rather hat fitly.—
However, malice and prejudice, if they exified, among
any portion of the audience, had but too favourable
opportunities of (hewing themfelves. The plot is ex-
tremely improbable, and nut very fkilfully developed.
The chararters, where they have any thing on final
about them, become quite orstre. To make Sir Ca-
rina Fande, an old beau, who had married a young
wife from the country, to differ from Sir Peter Tea.
ale, he is reprefented with fo fhort a memory, that
on one occalion he aoually forgets his own name.—
An incident of an uncommon nature produced a uni-
verfal and juft ditaisfaelion which could not after-
wards be removed. Ragland withes for rood. and
immediately a note for that identical Ann is thrown
its at a window. The fentiments are in general un-
exceptionable ; but expreffions now and then occur-
red, uncommonly vulgar, and even bordering on
indecency. Several fcenes poffefs confiderable merit
for their fprightlinefi and humour, and we (hall be
happy, if by a little revifion, and retouching, the
piece !ball be made palatable. The audience feemed
fuothed by a laughable Epilogue, fpoken by Mrs.
fo that we were in hopes a new trial would
have been granted without much difficulty. But
when Mr. Ex xisrost came forward to announce a
fecond reprefentation, a noire arofe almoft as loud as
during the thunder form in the morning. He flood,
imploring leave to fpeak, for a long while in vain—
at laft he found an interval to Cay, that it was by no
means the with of the Proprietors to intrude any
thing upon the public ; but the Partners could not
thrive without fume intereft. He then afked whe-
ther it was the with of the audience that the play
fhould be ailed again ? Some called out yes and franc
no. Mr E. remnined afterwards upon the ft the, as
if counting nofes. The Noes evidently had it ; and
we will add that, without confiderable alterations,
the decifion was lair. We ought, indeed, to obferve,
that Tome things may pr( bahly be explained in the
lall fcene, which was not littered to be heard. The
adios was good: we would advice Melfrr. lAA-Irma
and Marra lEW s to take a few letrns from each other;
the former is frequently too flow, and the latter
too quick in delivery.
We entreat the fslanavrE to pay a Arita attention
to the lobbies. There was 11.1,11 a clatter of inharmo-
nious and difcordant founJs b:hir.i the front boxes,
proceeding chiefly from the fair fix, that it was nu
cal), to pay proper attention to the Wands of the)
fccue.
