already enumerated, the author has introduced Sir Francis Fad.

The incidents also arc natural, and arise out of the circum-

which .owed all its attraction to the irresistible humour of

At a General Court-martial, held at Plymouth-
(lock. on the sth of August, 1813, and continued
adjournments to the 1 lth of the same month,
Ensign and Assiatant-Surgeon THOMAS ROBERT
Drt. kxwoY, of the Royal Perthshire regiment of
militia, was arraigned upon the undermentioned
ehaige, viz. :—" For highly disgraceful conduct, tin-
•pecomingthe oharacter of an Officer and e.Gentle-,
etani in wantonly Insulting and using most unwar-
/hatable language to Capt. MACDUFF, of the Royal
Perthshire militia, on the evening of the 11th of
July, particularly in calling him a coward, being
highly prejudicial to good order an& military disci-
pline, and in breach of the articles of war.

Upon which charge the Court came to the follow-
ing decision :

cution, together with what the Prisoner has offered
i❑ his defence, is of opinion that he is guilty of the

the merit of simplicity and sweetness. A youth of the name of
Wil.u.sus sung a very pretty air, is iihich-be was deservedly
enured ; and Mr. SINCLAIR was unusually successful, both in a
sang by minor and in aim by WaLsit". Mr.l2tctarpo! has I two very
fine songs, but being encored in the brat, after an atligt to repeat
it, he came forward and made an apology— that he was so over-
came by a culd,—that nothing but respect for the public could
have induced him to make the attempt, and he trusted to their
kind indulgence for the pardon of deficiency. This apology
was kindly received. Mrs. 11. JORNSTON was very sprightly in
Lisette, a young Frenchwoman, the wife of Guillaume, which
was supported with energy by Mr. FARLEY. ID the dances in-
troduced in the second act, LE CLERQ and Miss thaw display-
ed considerable skill and elegance. • In short, the piece went off
with uninterrupted applause—and was given out for repetition
with nniver4-.I approbation. One of the new scenes introduced,
a view of Dieppe, is very beautiful.

STAG ITAJNIT.-W,OatinGli, 'the; fox-hounds pre-
sented by Ale Doke of Ituntieorso to the PRINCE
REGENT, wore taken out to be blooded to their new
game. Two couple of the stag-hounds accompanied
them. In a pluntutinn near the Golden Farmer,
they found an out-tying deer, and ran Um- heutily
with encoaragement, as wail as they would a las.
The bantimen were luckily enabled to stop =the
hounds joists they got to . the 'herd at Swinley,. or
much mischief would ha ve 'ensaett. A. stag. was then
turned out from a •cart, tihoiv ki kd been* dislo-
cated; although lime, he ran an hour.. and three
quarters, aid was taken just beyond Hartford-bridge.
These hounds quite fillfil the great supeciatioa that
ivibe been entertained of them ; they are described
as a capital pack, stud in the sportsman's. phrasei

and he takes:aft 'pains,-but we think without the
least chance of success, to persuade his• readers to
