loltllltY-LANE THEATRE. The Hypocrite was performed yesterday for the last time this sea.on. Dowtow's Cantwell is too well known an d too justly prised to call for any further observation than that he played it last night, we thought, in his best style. liiiittav's Mawr-worns resembles LISTON'S in not being the character drawn by the dramatist, but it is decidedly inferior. After this excellent Comedy, a new Pastoral Ballet was produced by Mr. Noat.a. It was exceedingly simple, and without plot. Mr. and Mrs. Nom.' supported it with their admirable dancing. The piece went off well. WILL OF THE THE LATE BARON WOOD. The will of Sir George Wood, Knight, late one of the Batons of the Exchequer, was registered in the Pre rogative Court, in Doctors' Commons, on the 16th inst. Probate was granted to Thomas Bayldon and William Bayldon, the nephews, the executors. The personal estate was estimated as under the sum of 140,0001. The will is dated the 29th of November, 1823. The tes tator requests, should he die near London, to be buried in the Temple church; and, with permission of the Benchers, to have a monument or tablet placed there so his memory ; but if in the north, to be interred at Royston, and a handsome monument erected : in that case he makes a bequest of 201. to the Vicar, and lot to the Parish Clerk. His house, furniture, and provi sions, are given to the use of Lady Wood for life, with the principal sum of 50,0001. 3 per cent. Consols, abso lutely (to be in lieu of dower); it is, however, subjected to a discretionary provision for her Ladyship's sister, which, in case of her death or second marriage, is to be fixed at the annual charge of 3,5001. Consols for her sis ter's life. The testator's real estates, which lie in York shire, he has apportioned among nephews, subject to annual charges for female relatives. He has left many legacies, but they are almost all to relations and ser vants: 60,0001. Consols, in sums varying from 4,0001. to 10,0001. are given amongst nephews and nieces, and the residue seems to be divided amongst individuals of the same kindred : there is no mention of any children. His law books, precedents, Grose's Antiquities, Dooms day, Dugdak's Monasticoa, State Trials, MSS. 41kc. are lett by the will to his wife and a Mr. Allen; but a co dicil, written in a feeble hand, provides, that should Mr. John Alexander Wallace marry his niece, Louisa Ban don) " as I think they are engaged" (the young Lady appears to be a favourite), some of these books should be his: be alludes to the former appropriation, and adds, 44 if my wife and Mr. Allen cannot agree about them, let Godfrey Sikes decide the same." AQUATIC EXCURSION AND BALL. Tuesiay the Friends and Subscribers to the Tower Hamlets Charity School, for educating and clothing the Children of the Poor, assembled together on board the Veaus Steam Packet, for the purpose of aiding the Funds of the above excellent Establishment, through the medium of an excursion to the Nore and Sheerness, and a grand Coronation Ball in the evening. By seven o'clock in the morning, the vessel, which was stationed near the Thames Police-Office, was crowded with beauty and fashion, and among the company were several per sons of distinction, Members of the Coronation Fleet, Sec. who seemed to take a lively interest in the work of charity. The fineness of the morning added to the in terest of the company, who were enlivened by a band of music, which continued playing several delightful sirs and tunes during the day. Refreshments were pro. vided on board, and the dance was kept up with much spirit until the arrival of the vessel in the evening, when it was brilliantly illuminated, and covered with a spa cious awning. Various devices with •ariegated lamps were fixed in every direction, and the letters "G. IV. B? with a crown, in honour of his Majesty's Coronation, were stationed at each end of the packet, which pre sented a brilliant appearance. Country dances, qua drilles, the waltz, reel, and hornpipes, were pursued with animation until an early hour yesterday morning, under the direction of Mr. Brown, the Steward, and Com modore Nettlefold. The company appeared highly gra tified with the entertainment. We are happy to state that the contributions for the Charity were very handsome. Saturday, the 10th July, being the birth-day of the Right Hon. Lord Dommas, about seventy of the tenants on his Lordship's estates In the Upper Ward of Lanarkshire, had a dinner is COCKBURNS Inn, Douglas, on the occasion ; Mr. Paxrxxsox, of Carmacoup, in the Chair, and Mr. Srauvuxas, Croupier. The evening was spent with the greatest harmony and pleasure, old and young Tieing with one another to do honour to the day, and to shew their regard to their worthy and venerable 'landlord, new entered IMO his 77th year. Friday, two children of the names of Sayer and Wood, one seven and the other eight years old, bathing together at Ilerne Bay, unfortunately got out of their depth, and were by the current plunged out of the reach of their companion, a youth of the name of Henry Tut loch, from the Caledonian School, who was compelled, after fruitless thongh indefatigable exertions, to aban don the noble efforts he had made to save them from a watery grave, having with the greatest promptness and presence of mind pressed forward to their assistance, and when within a few feet of the poor boys, he was most unwillingly compelled to return, it being too deep for him to 'rescue them, being himself only twelve years old. finding that his own efforts were fruitless, he made all possible haste towards a warehouse upon the beach, 'there two sawyers, named Goodwin and Green, were at work, when he instantly communicated to them the situation 01 his companions, and pointed the deceased out to them (they being still above water), and that by the most trifling exertions on their part, the life of one or both might be saved, there being a boat near the water that might have been used for that purpose ; they, however, refused to snatch a fellow-creature from that element which subsequently proved so fatal to both its victims. An Inquisition was held upon the bodies on Saturday by the Coroner, Mr. DSLASAux, and a highly respectable Jury, when the following opinion was ex pressed by them, viz. " That we are satisfied from the evidence which has this day I , te n adduced t.pon this inquiry, that the life of one or both of the ceased children might have been saved had it not been for the el inhumanity and truly unfeeling conduct exhibited by two per t)cs of the names of Goodwin and Green, and that we do therefore to-sider their behaviour most reprehensible." The Jury afterwards returned a verdict of Accidental Dcath in both cases, and the Coroner expressed his re .,et that the law was not sufficiently strong to punish 7 , ons whose behaviour merited the severest censure. i.iday the storehouse belonging to Percy Main f:: 2 IrY, near North Shi e ld s , caug h t fire, and being full of com .:s:llsle materials, liurnt with astonishing fury.

The panes of several voidows at a considerable distance were shattered to pieces, but a. the storehouse was detached from other buildings, the condi i:Elon spread no farther. The accident was occasioned by the orek•tper having spilt some turpentine, and procuring a lighted ic el: tt, sett a Fart of it. COURT OP CHANCkRYTHIS THE LATE DOKE 01 QUEICNSEZERff WILL: 21r. TRESLOVE this day again attended his Lordship in 'his private room, for the purpose of inducing his Lordship to draw up an order, so as to meet the terms of his motion for raising certain sums of money, by the sale of 473,0001. Three per Cents. standing in the name of the Accountant-General to the credit of this Court. Our Readers are aware that yesterday his Lordship re fused to send the whole into the market at once. to pre• vent any injurious effect on the Funds. Mr. Treslove having again strongly urged the necessity of paying off the respective legacies, The Lotto CHANCELLOR said, he would draw up an order, in effect, that the sale of the stock in question should take place in different lots, perhaps eight or tem, and that the money so raised should be appropriated to the payment of the legatees consenting. SENDING LETTERS TO THE LORD CHANCELLOR. His Loaasnxe, on the case of Mr. Smith, the Solicitor, who bad been struck off the rolls, being called on, took occasion to express his serious displeasure at the conduct of Mr. Smith, who had sent him several letters. Mr. Smith, he observed, ought to know better, and it must also be well known, that his Lordship had declared he would not attend to such communications. TOM PAINE'S BONES, THE NAVY, AND THE BAR. HALSTED AND COLETHORP. Mr. SHADIVELL stated the circumstances of this case. Sir Laurence Halsted purchased from the plaintiff the land-tax of an estate for 2901. and received the legal title deeds. A dispute arose as to the right of paying the expenses of the conveyance, amounting to '7l. each party contending that he ought not to pay it. The mat ter was brought into Chancery. His Honour, the Vice- Chancellor, decided that the plaintiff should pay the 71. aad made a decree directing Sir L. Halsted to pay the purchase money and the interest on it, accumulated since he had received possession of the purchased pro perty. The gallant Admiral appealed to his Lordship, who confirmed his Honour's decree, and ordered the Admiral to pay the purchase money and the interest. The Admiral left the country in the interim, having been ordered in his Majesty's ship Isis to the West India station. The object of the present motion was, that a notice of the order served on the Admiral's legal agent, might be allowed by his Lordship to stand as a valid service on the Admiral himself. Mr. Shadwell's clients had made, though flushed with •ictory, the fairest and most moderate offers to the gallant Admiral. They proposed, in the spit it of conciliation, that he should either pay them the purchase money and subsequent in-, terest without proceeding to further litigation, or sur render the purchased property back to them. He would do neither. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—They may as well have asked the Admiral to surrender a seventy-four gun ship to them without firing a single shot. Mr. AGAR, for Admiral Halsted, contended that the proceedings had not reached that point of consumma tion stated on the other side. His client had given no tice of a motion to discharge his Lordship's confirmatory order on the ground of its irregularity. That motion was not yet disposed of; the matter of litigation was still pending ; he trusted therefore that his Lordship would not make any conclusive order until that motion should have been decided. As to the boasted spirit of conciliation, the adverse party :hewed no such thing; in fact, they were actuated through all this cause by a spirit of decided hostility, and that arising from no com mon circumstance, viz. the importation of Tom Paine's bones. The admirers of that person's politics appointed a public procession on the occasion of his arrival. Among the other processional ornaments, they wanted banners and flags. Sir Laurence had won several from the enemy in the course of his naval battles, and hung them up in Alton church, situated near his mansion. The Painites took the liberty of pulling them down, and carrying them among the other funeral decorations in the procession. In the course of their route they advanced even so far as Sir Laurence's Lodge, who having learned the uses to which the trophies of his hard-earned victories were perverted, ordered them to be removed from the pro cession, and restored to their sacred depository. Some of the legal advisers of the present proceedings were friends to the memory of Paine, and of course unfriendly to the Admiral for his conduct on the occasion of the procession ;—from this arose the present hostility. Mr. Agar concluded a train of ingenious reasoning by wishing his Lordship to dismiss his motion. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the motion to dis charge the order was not disposed of yet. The sum of money which was the bone of contention in this case was not very large, but probably it would appear larger in the eyes of an Admiral of the White, lted, or Blue, than an Admiral of the Black (silk). His Lordship regretted the feelings of hostility in this case ; but Admirals would sometimes lose their good humour towards the Bar, and sometimes with good reason.— They did not generally hold very high opinions of the Bar. His Lordship remembered an Admiral, and one of high character too, who 'candidly told his Lordship, that he did not think he could do greater service to the country than by hanging up 200 lawyers. When his Lordship expressed his surprise at the opinion, and asked the gallant Admiral what were, in his estimation, the constituents ofalawyer? he said e considered every man who could read or write to be a lawyer. The quarrel on the present occasion was about 71. His Lordship thought, some time ago, that he should hear no more of the business ; but if people would quarrel about nothing, his Lordship could not prevent it. He remembered Lord Thurlow to have said, in Westmin ster Hall, that he would rather hear a dispute about a penny than about five hundred pounds: it would be more amusing, and less injurious. Since the parties here 'wished to come into conflict, his Lordship should hel' them to do it, but by a judgment which one, of them would not like.—Motion refused. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 21. CURIOUS CASE. - YOUNG U. WHITE. Mr. SCARLETT stated that this action was brought to recover 4311.65. 3d. paid as purchase-money and auc tion duty, to the defendant, an auctioneer. A person named John Franks, late of Dorking, Surrey, left by will a freehold estate to his son. The son and testator both died, and the trustees put up the property to sale. The plantiff being desirous of bidding, attended the auc tion at Dorking, and became a purchaser. He paid the defendant 4311. It then appeared that a difficulty oc• curred in getting a conveyance. Tw•o of the trustees had died, and the third was a lunatic. Mr. Young con sulted n conveyancer, and on looking at the will, they found the Property by the beque.t was for the benefit of children alive at the death of the testator. Three were living, and it was stated that they might join in making a conveyance, but a new difficulty arose. A foerth child was born two days after the grandfather was buried and about a week after his death. This child Was.held to be alive at the death of the testator,l and according to a well known decision in the House of Lords, as well as the Statute of William, in favour of posthumous children, was considered entitled to share the estate. This infant could not execute a conveyance, and the plaintiff could get no title to the property. Under these eircurnstances he sought to recover back his diposit. The 4ill of sale and defendant's receipt for the money were put in and, ptoved. The Solicitor to the Trusties under the will of Mr. John Franks proved the order for sale, the death of two of the trustees, and lunacy of the third. • The Commission of Lunacy taken out in Middlesex against the said trustee, was also given in evidence. The will of John Franks was produced. Mr. MARRYATT, in behalf of the defendant, took se. veral objections. He admitted that the House of Lords had decided that a child born in due time after the death of the parent would take under a .will. The 10th and 11th of William 111. also gave that right to pOsthumous children, but he did not consider the case before the Court one to which the above decision would apply. The will gave the property to such children as might be living at the death of the testator, but the tes tator did not co n templ a te a child un b orn . Had it been a clear case of a posthumous child claiming an estate after the death of the father, it would have been a dif fel ent question. The Learned Counsel also contended that the venue was wrong. It ought to have been in Surrey, where the sale took place, and the cause of action arose. The objections having been overruled, the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 4311.65. 3d. LIFE INSURANCE POLICY.-MAYNA RDS V. ROHDE. SCARLETT said this was an action brought to re cover the amount of two policies of insurance, which the plaintiff had effected on the life of Colonel Lyon, for two sums of 6901. and 7001. in May and July, 1823. The policies were effected at the Pelican Insurance Office. The health of Col. Lyon at the time was very good. It had been so for several years. Colonel Lyon was the father of Captain Lyon, well known to the Pub lic as the intrepid companion of Captain Parry, in en deavouring to discover a north-west passage. Captain Lyon was expected in the river on his Tait return from his arduous voyage, and his father was so very anxious to see him, after such a long period of absence, that he went down to Gravesend to welcome his arrival. The joy of meeting his beloved son was too much for his feelings, and he sunk under the shock which his nerves received in consequence. Under these circumstances the plaintiff called on the Insurance Office to pay the amount effected on the policy. They refused, which was the cause of bringing this action. Mr. Beaumont, surgeon at Gravesend, attended Co lonel Lyon on the 26th of October last; found him extremely ill with intermittent fever, which was com mon in the neighbourhood of Gravesend at that time of l the year ; he was in very great danger ; saw him every day till he died, early on the 2d of November. When he saw him first, there was no chance of his recovery, he was so feeble ; he attributed the weakness to the disease, and his death to repeated attacks of fever ; he found him on the 26th October in the last stage of the disorder; he signed the certificate of his death. Dr. Ropy, of Islington, knew Colonel Lyon for two years, since 1822; considered the state of his health gotivi; saw him eighteen months before his death in very good health ; went to Gravesend with Captain Cheyne to see Colonel Lyon ; found him labouring under great debi lity, caused by excessive irritability of the nerves; he expected the arrival of his son the same day in the river, and seemed very anxious to have an interview with him. Mr. Samuel Ropy, brother of last witness—Knew Colonel Lyon; considered his health to be good from May, 18'21, till July, 1823 ; he called a number of times at his shop in Islington. Mrs. Spencer remembered Colonel Lyon coming to her husband's house the latter end of August to receive the money; he came on foot and appeared in good health. The Avroanait-Gensaan said, he had a very short and very plain answer to this action, why the annuity should not be paid. There should be no concealment in the affair of the policy. No establishments were of more importance to the public than Life Insurance Offices, in whose success they wet e deeply interested. It was very extraordinary, that some of the witnesses had not seen Colonel Lyon for a year. But did the Jury suppose that Colonel Lyon had no servants, or members of his family, who might have been brought forward to speak to the state of his (the Colonel's) health? The plaintiff thought proper to call medical persons, but he would call forward other medical Gentlemen, who would tell a very different story. The death of Colonel Lyon was caused by disease, which was concealed at the time of effecting the policy. It would be proved that he had been affected with bad digestion, a great determination of blood to the head, and an affection of the liver. He had been subjected to a course of bleeding, leeches, draughts, and pills, at the time of effecting the policy. Now the language of the policy says, that if any misre presentation is made at the time of effecting the insu rance, the policy becomes null and void. The misre presentation was made in the present instance, and there fore the Insurance Company were justified in not paying the policies. Mr. SCARLETT replied. He recollected a story of a patient who threw all the draughts he had received into a vessel, and when the medical man remarked that his medicines had done him good, and wished to a e what they had brought off his stomach, the vessel of medicines was shewn, and the medical man exclaimed, ""Good Coo, if that had been on your stomach it would have killed you!" (A laugh). •" So I thought," replied the patient, 14 and therefore I took none of it." He contended that the certificates given by Colonel Lyon, were perfectly consistent with the evidence given for the defendants. The certificates stated that he was in good health. Mr. Guatiar.—One of the questions is, 14 Were you seriously ill?" Mr. Suaattre.—Why to be sure, every illness ought to make a man serious. The LORD Cam Jurracs summed up the evidence. They might find one of the policies good, and the other bad; they might And both bad; they might And both good. If there was an = y con-. cealment or misrepresentation, the policy was 'liar—The Jury at once found for the defendant. James Drudge, a watchman belonging to the parish of Camberwell, stationed near the Half way House on the Green wich road, was dangerously wounded yesterday morning as he was preparing, at five o'clock, to quit his beat and return home. The injury was occasioned by a loaded pistol he was drawing from his pocket, the lock of which becoming entangled with the folds of his coat, occasioned it to explode, and several slugs with which it was loaded, penetrated the fleshy part of the left thigh nearest to the groin. The man immediately fell, and the report bringing persons to his assistance, he was conveyed to the Half-way-House, and surgical aid resorted to, when three of the slugs were extracted by Mr. Durbidge, of the neighbourhood, who, after the necessary applications, advised his removal .ti town : to this every attention was paid by the parish-officers of Camberwell, who had the unfor tunate man conveyed to Guy's Hospital, where he lies in great danger. A wife and two infants have to mourn the event. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. oilEutirtntim RACao-•-WillownilAiro ZUe Predbury Stokes of so soy. each, with $0 sov. added Nod, fur all ages.

IIPf22.—.AtboutIye o'clock on Sun day night an alarising flue broke out in the boast of Mr. John Higgs, cert. cutter, in Abbey-street, Dublin. Before any effectual assistance could be rendered towards checking its progress, the flames raged with tremendous fury, and the entire building was one body of fire.— Several engines by this time had arrived; and being supplied with• water from the carts belonging to the Paving Board, which were also in attendance, they played with much effect, although for a considerable time, before the great body of fire was reduced. The flood of the house fell, and also the front wall, which came with a dreadful crash into the street. The sight at this time was truly appalling, as the flames rose with redoubled fury from the pile of ruins. A young woman appeared at the window, and was entreated to jump out, but, being in a state of nudity, she went back for her cloak,. and was not afterwards seen ; her remains were dug out about ten o'clock on Monday morning, literally burnt to a cinder. Serious apprehensions were entertained for some time, as to the safety of the a d, joining houses, only one of which sustained much injury. We have net heard in what manner the fire originated It was not effectually got under until four o'clock. •r
