FOR THE HORNING HERALD.

[Yesterday the following article was transmitted to as for
insertion, and we communicate it to the Public, having,
however, first ascertained the original manuscript to be.
in the hand-writting of Mrs. Clarke. At the same time,
we think it right to state, that we are totally ignorant of
the circum►taoce to whirl' the writer alludes.]

66 A candid and impartitl appeal will be
44 submitted, in a abort time, to the Public,
46 containing a plain statement of facts, accom.
panied with letters, written by Messrs. Dodd,
44 Wardle, Hague, Glennie, M'Callam, filing.
44 worth, &c. some of which should have been read
64 on the Investigation, and others in the defence
" on the Trial, the 11 th December, but which
44 were suppressed (it is said) out of delicacy to
"6 the Wings of certain Personages ; a consider-
" ation which, in my opinion, ought not to have
44 had any influence, when the personal safety of
44 three individuals was in such imminent Peril,
46 and the characters,. reputation, and future
66 welfare of their families were so deeply in.
gi volved. Under these circumstances, nothing
46 ought to have been clothed in mystery. Of Mr.
66 Wardle's politics and patriotism a true and faith.
66 ful picture will be given by

COVENT GARDEN TUEATRE.

The Theatre was last night extremely crowded;
in consequence of the curiosity excited by the. re-
appearance. of Mr. COOKE. Before the Play be-
gan, this luckless votary of Bacchus made his
appearance, and delivered a respectful apology—
one passage of which, asserting his " incapability"
of performing, excited a loud laugh. His apology
was received with a degree of good-humoared for-
giveness, which, white it marks the hjgh regard
of the Public fur Mr. Cootie, will, we trust,
make so indelible an impression on that Gentle-
inan'a memory, as to prevent a recurrence of that
incapability which he so piteously elepluscd.
