COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.-CONST V. HARRIS. Mr. HART.—My Lord, you were pleased to termi nate your judgment on the case of Const and Harris, by a recommendation to the parties to meet and come to an amicable adjustment. You also made, I think, an interim order that the receipts of the Theatre should be converted only to the purposes specified in the deed of 1812, and not applied to any uses of the lessees. lam now instructed to state to ynor Lordship, that Mr. Const, my client, has received a letter from Messrs. Kemble, Willet, Forbes, and others of the lessees, intimating their intention of holding no meeting, and of concluding no arrangement with 11,1 r. Cont. LORD CD A NCELLOR.—Very well, Mr. Hart, very well; then I will most certainly take an early opportunity of informing these Gentlemen what I intend to do. Mr. SIIADWELL._My Lord, I have received no in struction from my diem, Mr. "'anis ; I suppose he knows nothing of this letter. Mr. HART.—Mr. Harris is gone to Ireland ; and my client has received a letter from Mr. Harris's Solicitor, stating that Mr. Harris has nothing to do with the, matter ; and, my Lord, this statement is certainly a fact. Mr. Harris has delivered himself into the posses sion of the lessees, and they think, aye, and know, they can treat him as they please ; but I trust, my Lord, that the interest of Mr. Const may receive that protection to • which, by virtue of the original deed, he is legally and justly entitled. LORD CHANCELLOR.-4 will take care of that, Mr. Hart. Next Monday is the day which I appointed for the communication of the result of the recommended meeting to the Court. If you will take the trouble of mentioning to me on that day what shall have been dons by the parties before then, 1 shall let those mis taken Gentlemen know what are my opinion and in tention relative to their conduct, and whether they shall be permitted to follow up the injudicious course of pro- 1 cecding which they have thought proper to commence. Mr. HART expressed his intention of introducing the case to his Lordship's notice on Monday next. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEBRUARY 12. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. SCARLETT said he wished to apply to rbeir Lord. ships to enlarge a rule to shew cause, which was ob tained by the Attorney-General, why a criminal infor mation should not issue out of ►hi; Court against the prii.ter and publisher of the 13, disk Press newspaper, for a libel on the character of George Chetwynde, Esq. Member for the county of Stafford, and a Magi,trate. He moved to enlarge the rule till nevi Term, on the ground that notice of the °ranting of the rule had been' served only on Friday evening last, and that time might be given to prepare affidavits, on which the defendants meant to oppose the role. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.—You move to enlarge the rule till next Tern), there being no opposition ? The TToRNEY-UENEHAL was silent. Mr. BROUGHANL—There is another criminal infor mation against another paper, the British Ticveller, for copying the same article, and on %.hich a r ole nisi has also been granted. The newspaper to which I allude, is published by a person of the name of John Stokes. Your Lordships will permit me to notice, that the same observations apply to this paper.—ltule en larged till next Term. THE KING V. THE COUNTY CLERK OF MIDDLESEX AND HIS DEPUTY. Mr. ScA MATT moved to enlarge this rule for a cri minal information, obtained on a former day by Mr. French, on the ground that the Gentlemen moved against had not time to give their answers in full to the charge. The Couar said that the rule enlarged itself under the circumstances; and it was enlarged accordingly. THE KING V. JOHN HUNT. Mr. ADOLPHU6 said, he believed Mr. Hunt was now in Court, and might be called on to give the recogni zance proposed yesterday. Mr. Hunt appeared on the floor of the Court. Mr:SCARLETT rose and said. On the part of the de fendant, on account of a feeling respecting the prose cutors, which it is not necessary to discuss in this place, I have to state his objection to enter into a recognizance on their motion. It your Lordships, however, say that it is fitting he should engage to abstain from alluding to the matter of the prosecution while it is pending, I will take on myself, from the conversation which I have had with him, to engage that he will abstain from such allusions. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.WeII, Mr. Adolphus, will not that be as good ? Mr. ADOLPHUS.—The assurance of Mr. Scarlett is perfectly satisfactory to my mind individually, but, on the part of those who instruct me, I think I should sub mit that the defendant ought to enter into a recognizance. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.-1 think you may rely on the assurance of the defendant, made through his Learned Counsel ; is it not as good as a recognizance? Mr. Justice BA YLEY.—Is it not a great deal better ? LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.--I think, Mr. Adolphus, you may take on yourself to rely on Mr. Scarlett's assurance. Mr. Anotmus.—Then, my Lord, I take on myself to accede to the suggestion. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.—I believe you may do so safely. If there be any violation, you may bring the matter before us in aggravation, upon the motion for judgment. Mr. Hunt then, after speaking to Mr. Scar lett, left the Court. THE KING U. THE CORPORATION OF PORTSMOUTH. Mr. MEREWETHER on a former day moved for a mandamus to the Corporation of Portsmouth, requiring them to assemble and deliberate on the expediency 011 enforcing residence on certain Aldermen of that Bo rough. The Court then refused the rule, because no au thority was cited in suppiiii" of the application. The Learned Counsel now renewed his motion on the case of The King v. Truro," decided in 1821, which was in the Crown-office, and not reported. The COURT, upon this authority, granted a Rule to shew cause why a mandamus should not issue. THE KING V. COOKE AND OTHERS. Mr. CAMPBELL begged to mention this case again, in which the venue was changed to Shropshire, and to request that it might be altered to Worcester or some more distant county, on the ground that the estates claimed by Richard Stafford Cooke lay on the borders of Salop. He should prefer Warwickshire. Mr. Talsounn said, he was sure, if the Court looked into the affidavits, they would find that there was no reason for changing the venue at all. The defen dants had not even condescended to mention the counties where the estates lay, but had sworn generally that they claimed estates " in all the adjoining counties. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICII said there was no pretence for removing the case to Wam ick ; but perhaps it might be better tried at Gloucester, as that being the last place, a trial at the next Assizes might be ensured. The venue was accordingly changed to Gloucester. THE KING V. THE INDIAN OBSERVER. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL renewed his motion for a criminal information against the proprietor, printer, and publisher of this paper, for a libel on Sir William num bold. The Court would recollect that yesterday a sug gestion was made that the prosecutor ought to deny that past of the article which charged him with borrow ing money of the natives at 121 per cent., and lending it to the Nyzam at 25 per cent. Sir William Rumbold now swore, that his firm never did lend money to the Ny %AM at '25 per cent. that before they lent any money they obtained an order of the Governor-General sanc-. turning the proceeding, which was approved by Nlr. Adam ; that, in the state of the Nyzam's affairs, he could not raise money at the usual interest ; and that the opinion of the Advocate General was taken whe ther, under the circumstances, the law limiting the rate of interest applied; and he s% as clearly of opinion in the negative. The Coon; on this, granted the rule to shew cause, THE KING V. LAWRENCE KENWORTHY. The defendant in this case Ve a, indicted more than two yea's ago, at Chester, found guilty, :u;‘,l sentenced to be anspoited tor seven yea's. Mr. Jones atterwards ob tained a habeas col pus, on the ground that the judg ment was erroneous ; it was found to be so on wilt of error; and the man was discharged on bail, till the Court should pass a fresh sentence. He app;:.ired at the last Chester Assizes, and the Court then sentenced him again to be transported fur seven years, to be com puted trom the original sentence; and he was shipped off to the Bermudas, notwithstanding the objection that the Court had no power on the record before then. Mr. D. F. JONES now moved to enter they ocedendo, in order that he might be in a condition ,to biing writ of error. The COURT granted the motion. IN THE MATTER OF THE PERUVIAN LOAN. The z tile for vesting the balance of this loan in Ex chequer Bills was made absolute. THE KING V. BIGNOLD. In this case an affidavit was put hi and read on the part of the defendant, and the Court deferred its judg ment till next Term This being the last day of Term, the Court did not. rise till alter nine in the evening. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FE8.12. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE gave judgment this morn ing in the following cases; CARMEN V. MEABURN. This was a question of award arising out of an action brought to recover the value of a quantity of indigo shipped on board a vessel lost in the .‘lauritius. A ver dict was given for the plaintiff' generally. The question now was, whether the arbitrator, in assessing damages, had taken a sound view of the case?—The Couaz de cided he had done so, and confirmed the award. LENEKE V. VAUGHAN. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE read the notes of the trial. The plaintiff was a native of Heligoland, and intending to come and reside in England, commissioned a London mei chant to obtain a license from this Government.— There being some irregular ity in this transaction, it led to the present question. The Court held, that under all the cii cumstances, a liberal construction should be put on the case, and confirmed the verdict in plaintiff's favour. °TWAY V. CHAMBERS. In this case the question turned upon:the construction of the terms of a will, and related to certain lands de scribed as appertaining to other property in the Isle of Sheppey.—The Court, after quoting various authorities, confirmed the verdict. SHERIFFS' COURT, FEBRUARY 12. WINKFIELD V. DR. CLEVELEY. The Jury were here called upon to assess a compen sation in damages for wanton and negligent conduct, whereby a house, the property of the plaintiff, had be come considerably dilapidated. Mr. COLLETT opened the case to the Jury, wherein he stated, that the defendant had for a number of years occupied a house in Montagu -street, Bloomsbury, which according to the terms of the lease, was to be put in good and tenantable repair; upon quitting, the defen dant did not comply with the record, but left the house considerably dilapidated, and in a state that no one could occupy it. A surveyor would be called, who had sur veyed the dilapidations, and would give his estimate; there was half a year's rent owing, which also would be claimed at the hands of the Jury, amounting to 751. Mr. George Wigg, surveyor, deposed he had sur veyed the dilapidations ; the window-shutters wanted repairing, the walls were considerably damaged, and the house altogether in a ruinous state. The least esti mate be could form was £4B. 2s. which would scarcely put the house in good repair. The defendant set up a defence that no notice had been given to repair, nor had he had an opportunity to contrast the plaintiff's estimate with another surveyor. The Jury assessed the damages at £123. 2s. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, FEBRUARY 12. Philip Jenkins, whose case was adjourned until this day, was brought up for judgment. Tile CHIEF COMMISSIONER said, the facts of the case were shortly these :—The insolvent had formerly been discharged under the Act ; directly after which, al though possessed of no property whatever, he took a house at Walthamstow, representing himself to be worth £3OO per annum, besides being extremely well off in other respects, and, by such representation, his opposing creditor was induced to credit him to the amount of; ~~ £53 ; the insolvent then disposed of his house, and, for two or three years, he was not to be found. The Court could not overlook a transaction like this, which had been contracted fraudulently, and without the probable means of payment. The judgment of the Court, there fore was, that he be confined within the walls of the pri son for six months from the date of filing his Petition. The following insolvents, against whom no opposition was entered, were ordered to be discharged, viz. William Smith Henson, Gent. Charles Vivian Colwell, Samuel Parker, George Gotts, Samuel Ellcock, Bartho lomew Rosselloty, Samuel Branton, Philip Jenkins, and Elizabeth King. ROYAL UNIVERSAL DISPENSARY FOR CHILDREN. The eighth Anniversary of this excellent Institution was celebrated yesterday by a Public Dinner at the City of London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. At six o'clock, his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK entered the room, accompanied by Lord Bolton, Sir C. flower, Bart. Alderman Thompson, M.P. Alderman Garrett, It. Bernal, Esq. M.P. Alderman Key, C. Barclay, Esq. the Hon. and Rev. E. J. Tumour, Dr. J. B. Davis, H. Read, Esq. W. Banbury, Esq. George Durant, Esq. and several other Gentlemen. His ROYAL HIGHNESS having taken the Chair, the company, consisting of nearly 250 persons, sat down to an excellent dinner. After dinner, Non Nobis was sung in good style, by Messrs. Taylor and Broadhurst, and other vocal performers. The cloth being removed, the usual toasts of " The King," " The Duke of York," " The Army and iiavy," &c. were drank with loud applause. His ROYAL HIGH NESS, after a short speech, in which be eulogized the object of the Institution, and congratulated its friends on the numerous and respectable assemblage which was then met in its support, gave " Prosperity to the Royal Universal Dispensary for Children," which was drank with loud applause. Dr. J. B. DAVIS, in returning thanks for the toast, took a review of the Institution from its commence ment. From this we learned that since the establish ment of the charity, not fewer than 00,000 children had bees gratuitously prescribed for, of whom not one in sixty had (Led. It was also stated, that in the same time, the deaths of children under ten years of age, within the bills of mortality,were 5,000 less than in any preceding seven years. It was added, that from the establishment of the " Royal Infirmary for Children," in the Waterloo-road, which is now in progress, and the completion of which is only delayed by the want of sufficient funds), still greater benefits might be expected to accrue to the children of the poor. In the course of the evening a liberal subscription was made at the tables in aid of the funds of the charity. His Row. HIGH NESS having quitted the Chair at half-past nine o'clock, Alderman GARRATT was called thereto, and the friends of the Charity continued to enjoy the festivities of the evening to a late hour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE: BOWS TR EET. LAw, LOVE, also BILA`NDY.—Mr..DoyIe, a young Solicitor, was charged with an assault and battery on the person of Miss Wini fred Waterhouse. Mr. Doyle is the same Gentleman who was brought up on a similar charge some six or seven weeks - ago, and who then got off by very pathetically describing himself to be " a young man just verging into the affairs of the world." On the present occasion, it appeared that he accompanied a young Lady of his acquaintance—one Miss Amelia Hankins, to a celebrated gin-shop at the corner of New -street, in St. Martin's lane, for the purpose of inundating her ivories with cloves and brandy. Miss Winifred Waterhouse was there also, fortifying her stomach against the night air with a thimbleful of full-proof white ; and as Miss Winifred Waterhouse was indebted to Miss Amelia Hankins in the suns of ten-pence and a fraction, Miss Amelia Han kins took that opportunity of asking her for it. Miss Winifred Waterhouse thought such a demand in such a place immensely un ;;•-titeel ; high words took place between the Ladies in consequence,. anil the Lawyer—not having the fear of the law before his eyes, took upon himself to put an end to the dispute, by attacking Miss NVinifred Waterhouse a In Spring : whereupon Miss Winifred Wa terhouse called in the watchman, and the Lawyer was led away to the watch-house. In his deft-nee he began an oration, the peroration whereof ran thus—" Your Worship, the case is this; and the consequence en suing thereupon is as follows: I am a young man, your Worship, who has a reputation to lose; and I would seriously appeal to you, whe ther it is proper that my reputation should be attacked by a female who has no reputation at all ? Your Worship, I think, will agree with me in opinion, when you come to hear the whole of the case as I shall unfold it to—" " Did you strike this woman?" asked Sir Rictra an, interrupting him.—The Lawyer would not give a direct answer, but attempted to go on regularly with his case ; and other witnesses having proved the assault, he was ordered to find bail ; the Magistrate observing he might defend his reputation elsewhere, by an action for wart. mug. LANDLORD v. LODGER.-Mr. Dennis M'Carthy, a sprightly little unwashed Faneralder, was charged with having threatened the life of his own lawful wife with " a big knife that he has." The charge was not made by Mrs. illiCarthy herself, but by Mr. Timothy Scroggins, their landlord ; and Mr. Dennis M'Carthy repelled it very indignantly, declaring it was all a bandy trick of Tim Scrag gins to get hint out of the place. The Magistrate asked—" What is Mr. Timothy Scroggins?" " He's the tailor overhead, yer Honour," replied Mr. Dennis M'Carthy, " and little's the truth there is in him. Here, Mary, love, and little Dennis, come forrut!" Mrs. Mary DlTarthy, and little Dennis, her son, came forward from among the crowd at the lower end of the office accordingly, and having done their manners to bis Worship, Mr. Dennis M'Car thy proceeded to question bis beloved :—" Mary, love, did I put a knife to ye at all, last night?" " No, faith, did'nt ye, Dennis," replied Mrs. M'Carthy. " Did I put anything else to you?" " Nothing at all, Dennis—nothing of any consequence !" " Did I ever bate ye, out of mason?" " No, indeed, Dennis, did'nt ye--outtly ye was a bit fractious with me last night. But ye did'nt bate me at all as I remember." " Very well, then !" said Mr. Dennis hlTarthy, triumphantly— " yet. Honour sees the rights of it ; and Tim Scroggins is a great blackguard to be sending me to the could watch-house out of me ours warns place." His Worship asked Mrs. M'Carthy whether Dennis was a good husband in general? " Indeed and he is, yer Wurtchip," replied Mrs. M'Carthy, curtsying to the ground—" as nice a husband as any woman could wish for—barrio the ticker, and it isn't often he gets it." Upon this shewing, Dennis was discharged ; and Mr. Timothy Scroggins was told, if he wished to get rid of a troublesome lodger, he must do it by legal means. MARY-LA-BONNE A Mr. M. an engraver, complained of the persecution of his partner's daughter. Ile stated, that the Lady had taken it into her head to be violently in love with him, but he, very ungallantly,. re jected her addresses, yet still she followed him from place to place, vowing she would have him in spite of himself. He remonstrated with her frequently, and at length complained to her parents, who reprehended her conduct, but without effect. At last love turned into hatred, and she made two attempts to stab him: he thought it then high time to apply for Magisterial interposition. The fair nymph denied the charge, and, in most contemptuous terms, ex pressed her regret that her affections should have been thrown away on such a spiteful ninny; and on promising not again to mo lest the ungallant complainant, she was discharged. TOWN-HALL Patrick Walsh, a gigantic ruffian, was ordered to find bail for as saulting a girl of fifteen. The fellow accosted her while looking through the balustrades of London-bridge, informing her that a King's ship was laying further down the river, which might be seen with advantage from his window. He then induced her to accompany hlm to his lodgings in Robin Hood-court. Mill-lane, Tooley-sueet, where he plied her with spirits till she became intoxi cated, and then attempted to accomplish his vile purpose, but she ran into the street, where her screams procared assistance, and he was,secured after a desperate resistance. ten.:.? • rrr~la.i~ JACOBITE RELICS.

FOOT RACE FOR ONE HUNDRED SOVEREiGNS. An interesting match for the above sum took place yesterday, on the Harrow-road, without training, between Captain Smith and Mr. Thelluson. The distance was ten miles over two miles ct ground, each starting at different ends. The performance was of .1 first rate kind, and accomplished as follows : Ma. THZLLUION. M. S. CAPS. SMITH. M. S. ISt two miles in 1S 3 Ist two miles in 12. 2d - 11 54 2d - - 11 58 3d - 12 4 3d - - 12 6 4th - 12 6 4th - - 12 sth - 12 5 sth - - 14 2 60 12 62 26 The race was an excellent one until the last half tlle,when Captain Smith finding he could not win walked in. Much Ironer was lost on time, as it was thought neither could perform the dis tance in sixty-two minutes. It is yet within the recollection of many, when any manifestation of affection to the memory of the house of STUART was looked on by the constituted authorities with a jealous eye. Now, MAJESTY himself deigns to express an interest in the memory of this ill-fated family; and it is well known he is one of the most ardent ad mirers of the traditionary lore and songs which perpe tuate their exploits and their existence. In many parts of the Highlands there still exists a sort of romantic attachment to their memory—a tinge of affectionate feeling, similar to that which a lover has, when he sighs over the recollection of the beloved object of hs early attachment, cut off in the sunny morning of exist ence. These reflections have been suggested by a cir cumstance which happened at the sea-port town of To bermorry, on the 13th ult: A vessel had ars ived from the Clyde, having on board two immense cast-iron plates, with approptiate inscriptions, designed to orna ment the monument erected at Loch Shia, in com memoration of Prince CHARLES having there; amidst the gathering clans, first unfurled the standard of re 'hellion in 1745. The plates were of such weight and ' magnitude that the shipmaster was in no small difficulty how to get them landed in safety; but from this di lemma he was fortunately relieved by the enthusiasm of the town piper, who, being present, proposed to array himself in the national costume, and with his pipe rouse the population to assist in the work. He did so effec tually ; for, having commenced playing the pibroch of the Prince's welcome, the warm-hearted Gaels assem bled in a body, and having marched through the town, proceeded to the quay, where, animated by their na tional music, they, amidst loud cheering, landed in safety the valued articles. The late Mr. Macdonald, of Glenaladale, the lamented Gentleman by whose order the above monument has been erected, died in early youth, and his enthusiastic mind found pleasure in perpetuating the memory of an attempt, which, however ill-planned and reprehensibie, is in its details considered so interesting by the preser:t generation, that perhaps no passage of British history is more eagerly perused than that which records its com mencement ; the brilliant features of its short-lived suc cess ; and its final doom upon the field of Culloden. N. The following anecdote, told by the Captain of a whale ship which was at Valparaiso, shews of what un shaken fortitude the hardy sons of Neptune are pos sessed, and what indifference they evince even under the severest misfortunes: " One morning," says be, " as we were cruising about in search of whales, we espied a fine-looking one, and at no great distance from us. We immediately manned four boats, and soon came up to this monster of the deep, which proved to be a whale of the sperm kind. We attacked him, and in return for a death-wound which we inflicted, he, as is frequently the case with these ferocious animals, stove one of the boats. In the confusion which ensued, one poor fellow unluckily came within reach of the whale, who, although in the agonies of death, made shift to draw one of his legs into his mouth. The thigh was pierced with one of his tusks, and consequently broken. Luckily for the sailor, however, the whale began to gasp, which afforded him an opportunity to escape from the jaws of immediate death. On being carried to the ship, it was found necessary to amputate the leg above the joint, which operation was borne with the greatest equanimity. Shortly after (continued the Captain) I asked him what were his feelings when he was in the wha'es mouth? Why,' says he g I thought he might furnish 60 barrels of pretty good oil !'" . 110 e . • PING INTELLIGENCE. • tOOM, TATTERSALL'S, FEB. 12. • loom was not well attended, and but few NI. 3 We account for the slackness of bettin,, ,tomary at this season of the, year, being p: t gentle exercise; and until they resume their ork, adventurers on the Turf will not be cn r . a arrangements for further speculation.
