The plot and dialogue turned wholly upon the matrimonial iris.

rupt In fortune, without seeming to incur any expences and
his Lady is a chronicled impure, without infringing the laws of
morality. Sir Charles Willing is an Oxonian, who is a rah*
without passions, and a student without learning. Canker, is a
guardian without discretion, and kis ward, Melissa, a coquette.
Loved and Clinch are two harmless Gentlemen, who walk on,
and who walk of, merely to fill up a sacruma in time. serge is
an honest old follow, who appears to have no it/anent* apes
any of the parties; and Flaw, is au attorney, who is ever-
more interfering with the contending parties, without bring.
ing any point to issue I This attempt to manufacture a
Drama, was heard to the end with a degree of goad humour
that was supremely creditable to the patience of the audience,
who appeared to consider it as the Pin Basket of the seasons
yet the vulgar apology of 66 better late than sever" can scarcely
be applied to this ricketty bantling, whose limbs were not pro-
por toned to its trunk, and whose body had no visible signs ofa
bead ! In the third act there was a masquerade scene, in whick
a doinb Minerva walked about, without exciting the least re-
gards of civility or attention from any of the parties, Mr.
FAWCETT, Mr. BLANCHARD. Mr. JONES, and Mr. EXERT, ex-
erted aernselves, much in favour of the Bardliug, but they were
vain efforts, and merely indicative of their powers to gloss over
nonsense. A Prologue was spoken by Mr. Batrstrox, and the
Epilogue by Mrs. 11. Jouvrrow, and they were both cite issue,
apparently, of the sante pen,—water-gruel without salt. Tito
piece was given out for a second represeatation by Mr. Jonas,
and the notification was admitted, sornewb.t sulkily.

On the 26th of May, john bake, alias Morrison*
who had been five mood's under sentence of death,
for mutiny en board the Colossus, and recently par-
doned at the moment of execution, on condition of
serving on board the gun-boats at Cadiz, and was
taking his passage in the Union, came aft on the
quarter-deck, and complained to Captaie 1..; NZ EE
the tyrannical conduct of the First Lieutenant to.
wards him, in compelling him to clean out his birth,
which was extremely dirty. His manne.r and irre.
gular conduct induced Captain I,v:zee to order
him to be flogged. The hands were turned up
for that purpose, and Lieutennot W. G. C. Kest
'went into the waste to attend the punishmmt.
Upon Lake being ordered to strip, he refused so
to do, insisting upon being tried by a Court Martial.
Lieut. licsx was then directed to see him stripped,
When he knocked him backward, struck every per-
son approaching him, and cleared the main deck ; he
!then pushed aft towards the quarter-deck ladder,
1 which Lieut. KENT perceiving, arid apprehensive that
be intended doing some injury to the Captain and
j Officers on the quarter-deck, rushed after him, and
seized him by the hair of his head ; a scuffle ensued,
and both fell into the lee scuppers ; and that instant,
several of the officers and men came to assist in se•
! curing him, in the execution of which, we ate sorry
to state, the prisoner kirked Lieut. Kent in the
mouth and nose, and caused the rupture of a blood
vessel. After Lake was secured he behaved in a very
violent manner, and made use of several mutinous
expressions. •
