DETJR V-L AN E. The interesting Comedy of Deaf and Dumb, and the re-appearance of that inimitable actress Miss De CAMP, in the charader of 7ulio, drew a most crouded and elegant audienee last night. Miss De;CAMe was received with reiterated plaudits on her entri. Her fire and expressive countenance pourtrayed her feelings in the strongest terms ; never did she endow the eharaOer with so much interest as last night, and it is but justice to say the sensibility of the house was in unison with hers. Mr. Barreilv, for the first time, performed the part of Fromm!. It does not afford scope for any great exertions, but we consider this Gentleman an acquisition to the Theatre. Mr. WeoI'GHTON put forth all his powers in the charader in which he was so well known to excel, of De 4rlemont. Never was the horrors and agitation of a guilty mind more forcibly expressed. Mr. POPE was an excellent representative of the philanthropic 4111: P.Etie. Mrs. MiAiNTAIN introduced a beautiful song in Mariann., the composition of Mr. KELLY, which she gave in her best stile, and was rewarded with an estate. She gave the part all the interest of which it is capable. Miss Poet.. and Mr. Poweee played with their usual excellence. Miss De Ca:ste spoke the original Epilogue. It was followed by the Entertainment The Children in the Wood. Mr. B ANeisrEn, junior, in Waller, and Mrs. BLAND in jozepbine, received their accustomed tribute of applybation.  is dihis  CiPT,ll.l' 3141CN41.114P1r. Yesterday, at two o'clock, Sir RICHARD FORD attended at Blake'. Hotel in Jermyn-street, in order that the examinations of the several persons taken before him respeciing the late fatal duel, in which Colonel Montgomery was killed, should be read over and sw:ora to in the presence of Captain Macnamara ; which being done accordingly, the parties were bound over to give evidence upon the trial ; and a commitment to Newgate, for the murder, was made out for Capt. Macnamara. Mr_ Andrews, Mr. Cline, and two other eminent Surgeons who attended the Captain were then sworn, and deposed, that he could not at present be removed without endanrrin:' his life, in consequence of an inflammation h. -ing taken place in the wound, which they said w:, • ~ casioned by a part of the clothes driven in by t:. tl, and still remaining in the body. The infla,riirtion, they added, had produced a considerable degree of flrer. The warrant of committal to Newgat,., therefore, was not executed, and the Captain w. s left in the care of Mr. Townshend and three othe; Bow-street Officers, who are stationed at the rit.!l4 until he may be removed with safety to Ncwgat 11...1r. Erskine and Mr. Knowles attended on the pat 0: Captain Macnatnara, but they did not think it r.,.:cess-try to interfere, or to make any application for hi, admittance to bail in the present stage of the business, and on account of the near approach of the Sessions. Mr. Macnamara, the t.aptain's brother, and two sons, were present upon the u.;ca,ion.  In a most curious produaion which has been lately published at Paris, by a French Author, who styles himself Professor of Languages, and entitles his Book 4' An Eng'ithman's Judgement on Bonaparte ;"—" Ou Bonaparte japs par un ;"—we read the following modest expressions, which, no doubt, will be felt in Lonion as highly descriptive of the sentiments of John Bull. • Les Empires diront to jeur. It verite, • Lt transnsettrunt ton non a!a posterit,i I" •• Empires are Ti legrophs to spread thy name? " •' Pritriirrim—the Guardian achy fame." Upon these lines we shall only remark that the FIRS'.

To compare his hero to,Juiius Casar was also a natural twit enough, amt hr has accordingly availed himself of his classic parallel in theie lira : " Lursque pp a eclia,ip auk hurreuers de Dl'murt, A Neptune en fureur C:e7.7.tr L'twit son sort: •• II fendatt (rune main Its vogues 1..: in&Alret, " Et de l'autre II tenai-.
