her of all her spare rigging, sails, and stores ; on
the following day was boarded by another French

,in mentioning such generosity, even of an enemy ;.
the privateer's name was the Charks, from Bayonne.

TIIE AMES.
eOXENT..q A RDeN.
Bee, ,loxsow's celebrated Comedy of Every
Man in his Humour was performed at this Theatre
last night.
Since Mr. Cooke thought it expedient to re._
treat from the theatrical standard of Covent.garden-
Theatre, much embarrassment hatb been expe.•
rienced by the Proprietors of that Theatre in re.
gulf to the different characters which he had been.
in the habit of sustaining with so much gencral ta.
lent, and in some few instances with unprecedented
ability. Among these was the part of Kitely, which
Mr. Ounce understood more perfectly than any
other Performer that We have seen since the death of
Mr. GARRICK.
As we have domed the representation of this Co.
mostly, at this Theatre, to be the most unexception.
able of their comic exhibitions, because nearly all
the parts, are adequately filled, we regretted exceed.
ingly that it should be put upon the shelf, and so
much concomitant merit lay dormant, as no one
could be found who had boldness sufficient to take
up the bow of Ur.xssrs : at length Mr. YOUNG
stepped forward, and the chair of !Otis is ou lon.
ger without an occupier.
On no occasion, since the secession of Mr. Cooxr,
have we felt a deeper regret, as resulting from that
circumstance, than on yesterday evening. We have.
been, in the habit of regarding Mr. You MG as an.ac.
for of much promise, from the success which bath
usually followed* his scenic exertions ; but his at.
tempt to follow Mr. COOKE, last night, in this part,
was not so effectual as might have been expected :
it Is true that he gave us some ides of a married man
tortured by the mental agitations of jealousy, but
it was not a representation which included those
fide traits of discrimination, which we have been
accustomed to hOld in fiii wayward, but eatriordi.

us. with any additional feather by, his assumptiun.
no was always at home with his character, when
"there was nothing required but the direct display of
good sense, but he declined very much in those
scenes where the marking of the eye is expected to
denote the varying agonies of the soul. We are
not much delighted to bear this cold testimony to
leis exertions, but our sense of duty, which is pa.
• raniount to all other considerations% impels us to
declare that lie was, altogether, bet an imperfect
representative of kitety.
Mr. Bt.:ANetIARD played Drainmorm, as a sub,

for this varying character; and it is no mean corn.
pliment, and is a just, one, to ever, that he did not
appear to disadvantage under such circumstances.

IsetsociN, Mr. DELLAKT, Mr. Tavt.oa, Mrs.

Miss Buse, from the Brighton Theatre, appeared
last night, in the part of -Vary, in John Bull. She
le a good figitre, and appears at' least e4ual to the
line of character in which she made her debut. Her
voice is sweet, and not ill-calculated to express the
feeling which she seed's capable of conceiving. She
Was received with general approbation. • The other
performers ,tustaiued their parts without much sp.
pearance of' improvement. !bra-nose cannot int.,

Thursday between twelve and one o'clock in the
forenoon, a farther was attacked; on Sheritimuir,
by men on foot, who, presenting each a 0.4°11
took from him a considerable sum of money. After
the robbery they set off in an easterly direction,
leaving behind them bundles, containing shawls, dee,
to the value of 4QI. which- were takeq possession
of by the farmer, wile immediately pursued them.
They arrived in this city about 10.o'elock at night,
in a chaise hired at Newhall's lon, queeessferry.
They slept all night at 4 hotel in Faeces-street,
and apologised, on their alightlarg, rot their want
of luggage, riling that It vies to arrive nest day
from Glasgow, (rum. WWII place they seid thiy
had come. On its being remarked, that coming
from Glasgow by the Quecnsferry was rather an tan.
"usual route, they represented themselves as being
ponnected with some respectable families in Stir.
lingehite, whose names they mentioned, and chose
that,. in preareece to the direct reed, that they
might visit them. Yesterday morning, about eight
q'olock, they paid their bill, and left the house ;
but wile nut long away, when the f4rmer, wbq
had followed closely, inquir d if sudi peopie (de.
scribing them exactly) hau lodged there the rreced,
lug night. He was told that they had, but were
gone. Calling, hoWever, some time after, in the
expectation they might have returned, he was again
on the point of retiring, vexed, and disappointed
in the object of his penult; when he had the setts.

They had undergone a complete change, being uoir •
elegantly (tressed iu new clothes, with be,te and
:spurs on, and whips in their hands, Which they
purcfiased from tradesmen in the neighbourhsiod of
their lodgiegs. The farmer sprung after them, and

escape, but was taken by a soldier belonging to the
