[Item on M. Barker]

Stabroek, May 3d, 1810.
Notice is hereby given that as it is absolutely necessary before a Dividend can be made of the Insolvent Estate of the late M. Barker, to ascertain what may be the real amount due from the different Debtors thereunto, there being too much reason to believe the Books in their present state are very exceptionable.
The Honble. the Court of Justice has thought proper by Appointment of 19th March last, to order the undersigned in their capacity as Curators to call up the Debtors to the Insolvent Estate of the said late. M. Barker by Public Advertisement, to give proof if they have any, of the sums stated against their names not being due, or to close and arrange the same forthwith within the space of Two Months from this date; authorising them in event of failure to compel by Law such Debtors to do so, as shall appear after this period not to have complied herewith.
The Undersigned Curators therefore earnestly request attention to this Notice, and that every apparent Debtor will do them the pleasure within this period to put it in their power by a clear and full statement of their transactions with the deceased to make a satisfactory arrangement of their several Accounts, to prevent any thing like disagreeable measures being adopted.

The following is a Copy of an official Letter received by His Excellency Governor Bentinck from Admiral Sir A. Cochrane, informing him of the adopted regulations for the sailing of Convoys from Barbados to Halifax.
(Circular.)
Neptune off Bassterre,
Guadaloupe, 14th April 1810.
Sir,
I have the honor to acquaint you for the information of Planters and Merchants residing in the Colony of Demerary under your Excellency's Government, that Convoys will be appointed to sail from Barbados to Halifax on the 1st June, 1st July, 1st August, 1st September, and 1st October, and for the general convenience of this Trade the Ships of War having charge thereof, will be directed to call (without anchoring) off St. Pierre's Martinique, off Roseau Dominica, off Basesterre [sic] Guadaloupe, off St. John's Antigua, off Basseterre Roads St. Kitt's, and off St. Thomas' to take up any Vessels which may be assembled at either of those places from the other Colonies or Islands; and it is to be understood that the Ships of War are to leave Barbados precisely on the days appointed.
Vessels bound to New Brunswick, or any other Port in Nova Scotia including the River St. Lawrence, may take advantage of sailing under the protection of those Convoys.
I have the honor to be
Your Excellency's
Most Obdt. humble Servant,
Alexr. Cochrane.
His Excellency Governor Bentinck,
Demerary.

The armed Schooner Jackman which sailed on Saturday last from Barbados, and arrived here yesterday evening, brought Barbados Papers to the 21st ult. - they are altogether uninteresting.

Theatre. [heading]
On Tuesday evening the Stranger a Play translated from the German was performed, we should not have considered it requisite to notice this performance had not the nature of the Piece arrested our attention. The Stranger is a wretched production of a very indifferent Master, and in the exact spirit of the whole German Drama; - its plot is foolish, and its morality is false, - the Author has endeavoured to excite our respect and admiration, in favour of a Woman guilty of a crime never to be forgiven, and further to render a Man who had previously acted weakly, a complete fool. The diction smacks of all the flatness of translation, and the dialogue which is stuffed with mawkish sentiment is heavy and insipid. The Characters are altogether out of nature, witness the amiable Baron Steinfort, who falls in and out of love, with such perfect ease and biensance, in fact in a manner as degagi[accent]e and with as much indifference as a Frenchman takes a pinch of snuff, - indeed the Play altogether is the very reverse of every thing that is desirable, and witnessing its representation has uniformly had on us an exceedingly soporiferous effect. We have entered on these remarks because we feel warmly for the Theatre, and would willingly see it in a Character more lofty than that of a mere place in which to waste an hour; independent of amusement, we would wish to see the Stage improving the manners, taste, pronunciation, and above all the morals of the Inhabitants of these Colonies, and whenever we observe aught militating against either of these great points we shall feel it our first duty to expose it.
After what has been said of the Piece it will naturally be supposed that the Performers could not render it very interesting. Peter however was very whimsically and very spiritedly pourtrayed [sic], and the part of Mrs. Haller was far better than we expected, and certainly possessed more of the Woman than we conceived any Man could have given it. - Of the other Performers we will say nothing, as we cannot say anything that would be pleasant either to them or to ourselves.

Vessel Entered and Cleared since our last.
ENTERED.
