TO WOMAN.

Oh thou! by Heaven ordain'd to be
Arbitress of Man's destiny !
Front thy sw::et lip one ttuder sigh—

f!,

One glance !men thine approvirg eye—
Can raise or ?-end him at thy
To virtue's nthlest flights, or waist extremes a in

Be angel-roinded! and despise
Thy ssx's little vanities ;
And let not passion's lawless tide
Thy better purpose sweep aside ;
For woe await-, the evil hour,
That leads to nin's annoy thy Ileav'n entrusted power !
Woinan 'tis thine to cleanse his heart
From eiery gross, unholy part ;
Thine, in domestic solitude,
To win him to be wise and good ;
Ills pattern, guide, and friend, to be,
To give him back the llcaven he forfeited for thee !

DRURY-LANE TITEATRE.—Last night, Mr. KEAN
performed Hamlet, for the first time this season.—
ne scenes with the Ghost, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern,
and Oplielin, were entitled to much praise ; but a
want of filial respect for his mother, and the too fre-
quently repeated action of pressing his hand to his
forehead, occasionally became subjects of complaint.
His voice was in better order than usual. Mrs. MAC-
ILENZIE, who lately came out in Juliet, acted Oplielia ;
she was but moderately successful ; and, upon the
whole, we do not think this equal to her further effort.
Some allowance should be made for inexperience ;
and it is right to remark, that she was much embar-
tassed by a continued disturbance in the galleries.
BARNARD went through the part of Lacrtcs with
considerable ability ; and HARLEY, as the first Grave-
digger, was amusing, though he moved about too
nimbly for the old fellow who was the companion of
Vorick, ana who took to the trade of. grave-making
" on the very day Prince Hamlet was born."
COVENT GARDEN.—Miss O'NEILL made her first,
appearance for the season last night, in the character
of Belvidera, in the Tragedy of Venice Preserved.—
The House was crowded to excess, and the greatest
Enthusiasm was manifested by the audience when
this popular and admirable Actress came forward to
resume her high station on the London stage. It
would be a waste of time to detail the va. ious beau-
ties of a piece of acting sA well known, so often cii-
ticised, and so universally admired. We need only
to state, that she exerted herself to the utmost, and
that those exertions were attended with their usual
accompaniment of applause and tears, according to
the sensibility of those by whom they were witnessed.
The Play was succeeded by the Dramatic Romance
cf Blue *Beard, which was well enough,calculated to
remove all tragic impression. The whole went off
with great applause.
Mrs. GAMER, who appeared last season at Co-
tent-Garden, is, at present, the attractive vocalist cf
the Nottingham Theatre.

Mr. Foot, of the Haymarket Theatre, and little
CtAaA FISHER, are now giving recitations and select
scenes from SUAKESPEARIL, with success, in the As-
sembly Rooms at Salisbury.

SHAESPEARs.-=The room which is shown at Strat-
ford as that in which the Bard was born, is covered
in every part with the names of visitors, written by
themselves, in pencil, &c. The surface is whitewash,
laid on, perhaps, about 20 years, and in the interior
the ceiling, the sides, the projecting chimney, and
every portion of the surface has been written on. A
list of the names would exhibit all the character and
genius of the age, and of itself would be a curiosity.
Among the names arc those of their Royal .High-
nesses the PRINCE REGENT and Duke of CLARENCE,
of the half of both Houses of Pa.liament, and of many
distinguished foreigners, among whom are LUCIEN
BoNarairre, and the Russian and Austrian Princes.
Even the tomb of SHAitsPEARE, and his bust, are in
like manner covered with names, proud of an associ-
ation with his ; and on the very scroll, under the
effigy, is inscribed the name of " WELLESLEY," by
the illustrious 'Marquis ; and by LUCIEN BONAPARTE
the following lines :
" The eye of Genius glistens to admire •
'6 How Memory hails the sound et Shakspear's lyre;
" One tear died, to form a crystal shrine
• " Of all that's grand, immortal, and divine r •

Monday se'nnight the Earl of DERBY nave a splen-
did Ball and Supper to about two hunured persons,
consisting of the Nobility and Gentry of Lancashire
and Cheshire, in the vicinity of his noble mansion, at
Knowsley. Among the company were observed,
Lord WILTON, Lord BYLGRAVS, the Earl and Coun-
tess of SZYTON, Lord MOLYNEIJX, Lord CIIOLNIOND-
LSI, &c. &c. The festivities of the evening were
-kept up till a late hour, and the guests departed to .
their respective homes, highly delighted with the ur-
banity and attention of the noble host and hostess.—
It was, altogether, one of the most magnificent en-
tertainments that has been given in that neighbour-
hood for many years.
The Grand Ball given at Ramsgate, for the benefit
of the Master of the Ceremonies, on Tuesday night last,
eclipsed all the preceding ones in splendour. /t com-
menced at ten o'clock with the celebrated Scots air,
l'llgang laze mair to you town. Owing to the crowded
crate of the room, only one set could stand up ; but
when the Quadrilles commenced a better arrange-
ment was effected—there were then three sets, led off
by the junior Mr. BIRCSIALL and Miss Posnitxu.
A Spanish dance attracted much notice between
Captain CLouGH and Miss WYKEHANI ' • the latter is
the rich Oxfordshire heiress. French figure dances
succeeded, with w:lich the night's amusements con
eluded. At three o'clock.the music ceased. The
Band was led by Mr. (low. It was I scene of much'
wl.im and vivacity, and much discrimination iii the
costume, simplicity forming the outline. The dresses,
principally white, were trimmed and flounced ; more
plumes of feathers than usual, and less artificial'
flowers—Pearls were universally worn, in necklaces,
ear-rings, lockets, and brooches. Among the com-
pany present were
sir William, Lady, and the Misses Curtis; Dowager Lady
Gardiner lion. Mr. eardiner, Hon. Captain Gardiner, Cap-
tain rphinstone, Sir Yenta and Lady Lake, Sir George and
Lady Prescott, Sir James and Lady Hope, Dr. and Mrs. Grey,
Sir F. and Lady Ford, Hon. Mr. Mrs. and Misses Carleton,

W!GLIANI LANO, MERCHANT IN GLASGOW, AOAINS2
JOSHUA AND RICHARD SENIOR.
Issue to be tried:

Ist, Whether on the sth day of December
_lBl7, or about
that time, Joshua Senior, at a meeting of the ',tanagers of the
Episcopal Chapel, held at Glasgow, to consider "a charge of a
criminal nature against one of the door-keepers, did falsely and
injuriously say or insinuate that the ptlisuer was the instigator
of the said :barge; and that if to, the pursuer was unworthy of
credit or belief, to the injury and daniage of said pursuer?
ad, Whether upon the 6th of Deceintitr aforesaid, nr about
that time, the said defender, Joshua Senior, at the Tontine Cof-
fee-room in Glasgow, did again falsely and injuriously accuse the
pursuer of being the instigator of the foresaid charge, and allege
the pursuer of being unworthy of credit or belief; and whether
on said occasion the defender did use other insulting and abu-
sive expressions, which he applied to the said pursuer, accompi-
nied with threats of violence, to the injury and danger of said
pursuer?
3d, Whether on the 16th of December aforesaid, or about
that time, the defender, Richard Senior, within or near the
Piazza at the west end of the Exchange of Glasgow, did assault
or strike the mid pursuer to his bodily harm and injury; and
whether ou said occasion the said defender did use insulting
and abusive language to the pursuer, by damning him, railing
him a lying scoundrel, or by using expressions to that effect, to
the injury and damage of the said pursuer; or whether on said
occasion the pursuer did assault or strike the said defender first?
4th, Whether the defender, Joshua Senior, did instigate' or

- - -

Mr. JEFFRAYopened the case. Mr. Lang is near
three score years old, and has been nearly forty years
resident in Glasgow. Mr. Senior, the elder, is about
six or seven years younger, is a stouter man, and,
being a native of England, is presumed to be better
acquainted with boxing than Mr. Lang. Scotland
had of late, however, made considerable progress in
the pugilistic exercise; and that exercise was now
more common than it was in England when they
were young men. They were both members of the
Episcopal Lhapel, and the present action originated 11
from what happened at ti meeting of the managers
of the congregation. Mr. Jeffray characterized the
attack on lqr. Lang by Mr. Richard as an assault
having all the aggravations which an assault of the
kind could have; it was concerted in cold blood, and
was brutally severe, and was aggravated by the way
'in which the Seniors gloried in what they had done.
Witnesses were called who. proved the assault.
Mr. COCKBUItHt on the part of the defenders, said,
that though both parties' were knocked out of the
Court by the verdict of the Jury; they would not be
unfairly dealt With. He then called several witnesses
in extenuation.

The Jury found for the defenders on the first artd
second issues, and for the pursuer on the third and
fourth.—Damages on the third, £2oo—and on the
fourth, £3OO.

JOSHUA SENIOR, MERCHANT IN GLASGOW, AGARIST
WILLIAM LANG, MERCHANT IN GLASGOW.
The same Jury was sworn again, and the follow-
ing issue submitted to them. lley were directed to
return verdict on the evidence already !ed ; ,
Whether, upon the Gth day of December, 1817, or about that
time, the defender, in front of the Coffee-room of Glasgow, or
in the neighbourhoo.l thereof, did assault the pursuer, by strik-
ing or aiming a blow at him with his (the defender's) flit, and
did, at the same time, abuse the pursuer verbally. by calling bim
a scoundrel, and using other opprobrious epithets, to the injury
and damage of the said purs;:er ?
Damages and solatizrn claimed in the summons,
Esooo.—The Jury returned their verdict at the
Judges' lodgings, finding for the pursuer—Damages,
Fifty Pounds.
