THE RETROSPECTIVE VIEW OF THE DRAMA. HAYMARKЕТ. July 25. HE PURSE--Don Pedro--and Sylvefter Daggerwood. The repetition of Don Pedro was by no means relished--- Sylvefter Daggerwood, which is all that is good of the manager's occafional prelude, or drama, as he calls it, of New Hay at the Old Market, is an object too trifling for critic fm. made his first appearance this evening, in the part of Sir John Brute---he performed it much in the ftyle of the late Ryder, by representing the character as a brute, and not a gentleman, but was not fo happy in his low humour---in the drunken fcenes, he was inconfiftent, though throughour, irrefiftibly laugh. able. In the part of Antonio, in the Follies of a Day (which was likewise his first appearance) he was more uniform. Aug. 11.--- Hamlet and the Son-in-Law. Mr. J. Bannifter was the Hamlet this evening, for his father's benefit. Aug. 12--- The Deaf Lover and Mountaineers. Mr. Ellifton has returned to this theatre for the remainder of the feafon, and repeated the character of Octavian, much to the fatisfaction of the audience.

BILL OF EXCHANGE, LETTER OF ATTORNEY, AUTHORITY. AMES BAILLIE being poffeffed of confiderable property in the WeftIndies, and elsewhere, and being alfo confiderably indebted to feveral perfons, by his will appointed Mrs. Colin Baillie, along with feveral other perfons, his executrix. On his death, Mrs. Baillie alone proved the will, and took upon herfelf the execution of it: the executed a letter of attorney to George Baillie, and Edmund Thornton, jointly and feverally to act for her, in collecting and getting in the estate of the decealed, and paying his debts. In the first part of the inftrument which related to the collecting of the efate, the moft ample powers that could be devifed, were given to the attornies; the authority to pay, difcharge, and faristy debts, was defcribed in fewer words, and more general terms. Among other claufes were the following: "And in my name, place, and ftead, as executrix, to ftate, adjust, liquidare, settle, and finally agree to all and every and any account and accounts, fum and fums of money, debts, dues, claims, demands, controverfies, differences, and difputes whatfoever, wherein the faid James Baillie, at the time of his decease, was, or wherein 1, the faid Colin Baillie, as executrix, as aforefaid, now am, or at any time or times hereafter, fhal or may be in any wife interested and concerned:" "And alfo for me, and in my name, place, and stead, as executrix as aforefaid, and agreeably to the due order and course of lau, to pay, difcharge, and fatisfy all and every, or any fum or fums of money, debts, dues, claims, and demands whatfoever, which at the time of the death of the faid James Baillie were due and payable by him, and which now are, or at any time or times hereafter shall or may become due and payable by me, as executrix, as aforefaid."' "And gene rally for me, as executrix, as aforefaid, to make, do, and execute all and every fuch further and other lawful and reasonable acts, deeds, matters, and things w whatfoever, &c. I, the faid Colin Baillie, giving, and by thefe prefents granting unto my faid attornies jointly, and each of then feverally, my full and whole power and authority to do and act touching or concerning all or any of the premifes aforefaid, as fully and effectually to all intents and purposes whatfoever, as I, the faid Colin Baillie, as executrix, as aforefaid, might, or could do, if perfonally prefent." Among other perfons to whom Mr. Baillie died indebted, he owed to Howard, and another, a fum of 290l. 18. 3d. They drew a bill of exchange, on Mr. Baillie, dated the 10th Jan. 1794, for that sum, value in account with James Baillie, payable the 1st Sep. 1795, to their own order: This was accepted by Edmund Thornton, as procurator for Mrs. Baillie. When the bill became duc, the drawers brought an action on it against Mrs. Baillie, in the common pleas, and recovered a verdict for 330l. dainages. At the trial there was evidence to fhow that the defendant knew that Thornton had accepted the bill in queftion in her name, in payment of the debt due to the plaintiffs; and in particular it appeared, that when the officer ferved her with procefs, the acknowledged the juftnefs of the debt, faying that the plaintiffs had behaved handsomely, and should be paid.
