COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.--The new Play of the Sisve was repeated last night with the same deserved success as on it; first representation, and cannot fail proving a permanent favourite of the Public. The sentiments given to Gambia are of the mist excenent description, and they are throughout deliet•red by MActtE.kbY with a dt4,7tee of force and effect that leaves nothing to be wioed for by the an Bence, while it establishes the high reputation of the actor, and confirms his cl tim to the warmest support of liberal :.nd gliscern:ng Pu'slic. All t:m other Per formers have also characters welt suitei to their re spective tal•nts, and the success of the Piece is con hi-quer:lly complete.

Prince PAUL nf WIRTEMBERG. brother of the `re sent KING, lately resided for a tew months at Paris. His father, wh-se displeasure It is known he had in curred, reques.ed that he might be sent away. He removed to Switztrl nd ; but soon alter he arlive.l, Wl'h.int Any prevous ammuncemmt, at, Stuttvard, an•.t presented himself Wire his father, soliciting ob livi n of the past, and to he received into his family. Tt appear. that the late KING, though f a character little susceptible of emotion, was touched with this interview; but tliat the PRINCE Rolm'. is said to have declared, that if los brother rem 11-:ed at the Court, he would immedieely leave it. He even had an in terview with Prince Nut., in which the latter endea voured to rectal him to kinder sentiments. Prince PAUL was soon afterwards Arrested and conducted to prisOn. We doubt not but that the new limn will honour the first moments of his reign by restoring - his brother to liberty, and that, like another HENRY V. or Louis XII. he will forget the resentments of the PRINCE ROYAL. - ....___ Thursday evening lest, about six o'cb4ck, a daring robbery was cnmr:►itted on the road between earn staple and Bideford, on the person of Mr. Solomon. Aston, a travelling Jew. The villain took from h;rn his box, containing property to a considerable auviiii.t. and two ►;old watches from his packets, and also threatened to murder him with a large clasp knife which he held in his hand, if he offered resistance —1 The fellow has, as yet, eluded the vigilance of the per sons in pursuit of him. On the night of Wednesday sennight an extensive and dating rohiiery was committed at Kilgwyn House, near Llaneadock, Carmarthenshire, the seat of J. J. HoLewin, Esq. The house was forc►bly en. tered, and every article of plate stolen, with a qui-m -lily of wearing apparel, and a horse (worth upwards of I<lo guineas) taken from the stables, equipped with-a new saddle and bridle. by which the offender was enahled_to get off with his booty, the robbery not• having been• discovered by the servants till seven o'clock in the morning. A shabby looking pony, on wi.icli a suspicious character had appeired some days before at Llandovery,•being found near the house at day-light, tended to confirm the opinion that this man was the depredator. He was therefore pursued, and apprehended near the bridge over the Wye, leading into Koss. He had with him saddle-bags, containing the whole of the plate and valuables stolen. The of lived as servant in the family two years ago, ani came from London purposely to effect the daring en terprise I He acknowledged that he had the assistance of accomplices ; and such information has been ob- 1 tained respecting them ai it is hoped will speedily lead to their apprehensVn. The, prisoner, before he . left Kilgwyn House, deliberately equipped himself in the garments he had stolen, and substituted his own habiliments in their place. The plate he carried off amounted in value to several hundred pounds.

The Court at the hearing of the Caine allowed d5OO as a remunetation to the salvots l tor their service. The Court this day decreed one ' third of that sum to the owners or the boat, and the remainder in certain proper:6(ms to the other parties.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOVEMBER 13. Ithl v. TDB D •CK C •MPANY ('F DULL. This was a -case from the Sessions for the East kiiing of Yorkshire, for the porprae of taking the opinion of thus' Court upon the legality of a rate assessed upon the defendants in respect of the pro. ceeds of the Hull Docks, for the relief of the Poor of the Parish of Scultinttes,•and which the Sesions had affirmed. I'he c .se stated that the Appellants had, for thirty-four years, paid poor.rates in respect of the annual average amount of their Dock Dues, Which dues were admitted to be legally the subject of rate. In the Epiphany Session: the defendants appealed against a rate amounting ter. £IS6. 13s. 4i. in respect of the sum of ,C 22•10, alledged to be the average value of the proceeds which had come to their hands during a period of six months. The ap pellants resisted payment, on the ground that they were rateable only for the net proceeds which they had received, and that they were not liable for the present rate, inasmuch as the whole of the proceeds, in r e spect of which they were rated, had been ap plied, ie pursuance of the 14th Geo. 11 I. c. 56. by which the Company were incorporated, for the pur pose of repairing the Demks and Basen„ and come qii(ntly there were no net proceeds upon which the rate could apply. Tile question, therefore, was, whether the 1). ck Company were liable for, their gene, el income, without reference to the amount of their net proceed; ? 03 behalf of the Parish it was contended as a ge neralprop ,sition, that the beneficial occupation of all property Of this deseription was liable to the relief of the poor, and for this was cited Ree.O. The Salter Sluice Ntvig 'Lion, 4 T. tt. 730, and 1 T. It. 219. 'There was no question that prin:a facie the property here was lieble, and it had been decidtl in Rex v. Ager, 14 East R. 2.56, that property prioiariiy liable coulJ nut be relieved itt.rn its liability. by reecon of the pr: coeds having been susscquently applied to other purprees connected with the property rated.— Wit was a case where the trustees of a Methodist Chapel had been rate& in respect of the profit arising from letting pews; and it was contended that they were not ' , able, because the whole of the proceeds had been exhausted in the saLry of the Minister and the Singing-master. The whole system of rating, in all cases of this description, proceeded according to the average annual value of th e property,'without reference to its subsequent application. Such was the d ictrine laid down with resrect to Madder and H4ps, which were pi ofitable only once in three years; and also in respect to underwood cut but once in 20, years. In all these cases, the average value of the property being divisible, was apportioned to each year, and upon the proportionate annual value the . rate was fixed. It it cellist be allowed to the Dock Company to set off their expenses In repairing the Ducks, against the rate, how easy would it be for them to wait until a year when a heavy rate was to be paid, and then avail themselves of the opportunity of bestowing all their annual proceeds to the purpose of repairs, and excuse themselves from the payment of any rate at all ? Undoubtedly they,were entitled to some allowance for rear 'table and necessary re. pairs ; bet that principle could not extend to the whole disbursement of their annual n eans upon ob jects which they might deem necessary. In supp in of the Appeal, it was admitted, that the Proceeds coming to the hands of the Appellants, were rateable to the poor ; but inasmuch as the Act of Parliament was compulsory upon them to lay out ' a certain sum of money at. stated periods, to repair the Ducks for the benefit of the public, as far as they ' were interested in that object, the defendants were not liable, under Such c;rcumstances, for more than the net profits , arising from their proceeds, after pay ,ing all necessery a expenses for that purpose. • The Cower, fiowever, were unanimously of opi nion, that the Appellants were liable in respect of their genera average proceeds, Without reference to any ulterior objects which they might have in view. It was their duty to provide a fund out of their-gene ral profits, in anticipation of those expenses which they knew they must necessarily incur in the main tainance of the Docks in due and proper repair. Be sides,-upon reference to the Act it appeared, that in case the ordinary proceeds of the Company were not sufficient for this purpose, they were empowered to call upon all those persons who participated in the dividends arising from the property, to refund suffi cient Means of keeping up the necessary repairs of the Docks. The cases cited upon the subject Were sufficient authority for the Court to act upon on the present occasion, and in conformity to the doctrine there laid down, the Order of Sessions must be affirm- . . . ed.—Order affirmed. TH2 "LINO V. TIM MAGISTRATES OF MEX. Mr. Gureamt moved for a rnk to chew cause why a Mandamus should not be directed to the Magi:- trates of the county of Esse; calling on them to hear a certain appeal against an assessment of the poor's rate in the parish of Saffron Walden. Application had been made to them for that perposei ' but they said that the appeal ought to be btought before the • • • .

At twelve o'cleck the Judge* sat in the Exchequet Chamber, to hear the arguments of C 'ousel on the rea served case of Towle, one of the Luddite:, cons %timed before Mr. Baron GRAIIAM, at Leicester.— The prisoner was one of those persens connected with the frame breakers, and was charged, with several others, with shooting at certain of his Majesty's sub jects, with intent to kill. The two p , rots reserved were, first, that the Jury ferrying found the prisonci guilty of being present, but not of firing the pirol, he could not be found guilty as a principal ; anri fur. titer, that en account of the word.{ feionieusly" being omitted in the counts, charging hire v.etti being an cider and abettor, neidei could he be found guilty upon those counts.. Mr. DENMAN was heard at considerable length hi support of the objections ulcers at the trial, and sub. mitred, that the prosecuter's Coencel, by having put the questior to the In y, whether the prisoner was the person who fired the gun or not, and having drawn from them an opinion, must not new complein, if that opinion shreuld prod fatal to the ;aelsecntion. Mr. REVNILDI, on the other siee, espied in sup. port of the verdict Guilty ; and contended, that mi. word 66 feleseously" being mentioned in the first colint, must be taken to be so connected with else words g 6 then mid there present aiding and assisting' in the other counts, so as to ever-rule them all. Tne Learned Counsel also contended, that 'his case came precisely under the provisions of the Black Act, and, therefore, that all those aiding and abetting must be considered as principals. With respect to the guess Lion put to the Jury, and their finding upon it, the question itself was unnecessary, and the answer to it ought, in no way, to affect the verdict in a legal point of view. The Judges took time to consider their Judgment. INiOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. Yesterday the CHAIRMAN, upon the opening of ehe Court, referred to a letter 'which' he hied receieed horn Mr. Lewis, one of the Agents of the Cour', with respect to the conduct of Mr. el .like, who hal lately held the office of Cletk. Teis letter stated, that £BO had been lodged with Mr. Clerksi, in order to be p .id over to the assignee of the creditors of a Mr. Levi, who was some time since discharged . by the Court, bust that Mr. Clarke had not made this payment, al.hough frequently applied to on thesub ject. The CHAIRthAN, after observing that the oti. ginal papers. with regaid to the order of the Court respectmg this suns, and which had been placed in the hands of Mr. Clarke, were now, it appeared, lint to he found, returned to the letter, in • wiech the. writer stated, that he had lately applied in person to Mr. Clarke, in order to have the AM paid ever, but,' in reply to this application, Mr. Choke said, that he had signed a paper, endear:zing the Court to ply certain sums in its hands belonging to him, which sums were sufficient to discharge the claim of the assignee of the creditors of Levi, as well as sail similar claims upon him, in consequence of his con. nection with that Come. The CHAIRMAN, however, observed, that Clarke had mis.stated the case to Mr. Lewis; for the purport of the paper. which Clarke bad signed was an engagement to furnish, upon oath, to the Lords of the Treasury,' his• accounts as ben Officer of that Court, which engagement had not yet been fulfilled. The CHAIRMAN . added, that the sun in the hands Of the Court, for account of Clark-, amounted to MOO, and that this sum was not suffi. cient to cover that Officer's defiti.ncies. Upon the appearance of Metirs. P. SMITH a Pote.ocK in Coda, the Chairman stated, that on !e. viewing the case of Thomas Joseph Murray, who was remanded on Tuesday, considering the looseness of the statement that Murray waif a Lieutenant-Co. lonel in the Spanish service—that stetemeat resting . solely upon the prisoner's own deposition ; and look. ingilso to the schedule in which the prison• r described himself is a Lieutenant, 'although, by his own con. fession, he held no commission whatever in either the navy or army of England, 'while be 'alleged that he' was a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Spanish se-vice. he (the Chairman) felt the propriety of adjudging.thet this prisoner's petition should be ditcharged. Friday, there war a numerous Meeting of the In. habitants of Calton, Glasgoir, in the vacant ,ground behind the Meeting-hi:nue in Kirk•street, to Like into consideration the present distresses of the country, when a aeries of Resplutions, similar to those paned in other &wit, Onying for retrenchment and reform, were read and unanimonily agreed to. The whole proceedings were conducted with the greatest order.
