Saturday a Meeting of the Proprietors and Subscri bers took place in the Saloon of the Theatre, for the purpose of receiving the report of the Sub-Committee on the financial state of the concern. Mr. CALCRATT in the Chair. The report was read. It stated, that the circum stances of the Theatre were in the most flourishing con dition. The debt which, when the Lessee obtained the direction of the concern, amounted to the sum of 90,0001. was now reduced to a sum not much exceeding 20,0001. and the difficulties which had at first presented themselves had totally disappeared. The Lessee had paid his rent for the past year, amounting to 10,0001. and had paid 2,0001. in advance for the ensuing year, according to agreement. His Majesty had been most graciously pleased to forego his claim upon the Theatre of 1,0001. which he had lent when the finances were in a dilapidated state, in the year 1809; and a tank had been built for the protection of the Theatre from fire, and other improvements made, which would be of great advantage. Prince Leopold had also foregone his claim 1)12001. The original , proprietors had agreed not to claim any benefit upon their property in the concern until the year 1830, but from the present appearance of the finances of the Theatre there was reason to suppose that they would receive a dividend a year sooner than they unanimously agreed to wait. The most strenuous exertions were now making by the. Manager for the em ployment of talent in every department of the Theatre, and the Sub-committee looked forward to increasing prosperity.—The Report was received with the greatest satiifaction and applause. Letters have been received from Sierra Leone to the 20th of May, by the Governor Halkett, up to which date no further accounts had been received from Cape Coat. His Majesty's ship DRIVER was expected to ar rive in a few days. Affairs continued tranquil at Sierra Leone at the date of these letters, which proves the in accuracy of the accounts received through the Ameri can Papers, of the alarms which prevailed there. By the Cecilia, arrived in the Clyde from Demerara, we have received papers to the 21st May. Their con tents are not of great importance. Governor D'Urban was continuing the most energetic measures for inc. serving the peace of the Colony. He had assembled the principal slaves on the east coast (the scene of the late rebellion), pointed out and explained to them the views of his Majesty's Government, and at the same time informed them that he possessed the means of in stant chastisement, should they evince a disposition to refuse to perkrm their duties to their masters. ROWING MATCH FOR FIFTY SOVEREIGNS. Saturday a !towing Match against time, fora wager *flirty eon. reigns, took place en t h e Th ames .

LANGAN AND SHELTON.— Friday evening sprisig attended at der's, to put down E.O.i on the part of Laigms, to fight Shelton for 30 141. a-side. So far all right ; but Shelton says, " I will fight witlit three months - -Langan wants six. Upon this point there wire many conflicting opinions ; Belcher insisted that Shelton should not fight alter September, and all that Spring acccdedtu Was to hz November ; and thus the matter stands at this time. The I.3 tie7, however, say it mast he a match, and that taws is bound to tome to Shelton's time. THE ARMY. The remainder of'the Second Battalion Third Guardi, arrived on Saturday at Portsmouth, in the Speke, from Plymoutit,lo land and march to Windsor.

THEIR SANDWICH MAJESTIES. Friday, the Honourable Mr. Byng had an audience with his Sandwich Majesty, and requested to- know what his intention was, as to the entombing of his de ceased Consort, whether she was to be interred in this country, or in her native island? The King took till the evening to consider the point, and at eight o'clock he returned for answer that he had made up his mind that she should be buried on his island, which ceremony his Majesty said was performed almost in the same manner as in England. His Majesty then gave orders that she should be preserved, and that she should be deposited in some church in this country till he went away, which would be as soon as he recovered from his present illness. The King sent off dispatches by two vessels from Falmouth, that are trading direct to the Sandwich Isles, with the account of the dissolution of the Queen. In a circle roiled the coffin are arranged the Royal. war cloaks, which are manufactured of feathers of va rious colours, and are used by the King and his Staff when in battle: on the lid, at the head of the coffin, is placed the Queen's Crown: it is a circle of yellow fea thers. Several other circles, composed of feathers of the same tint, are placed on the lid, down to the foot. Several bunches of feathers, used by the Royal attend ants to disperse the flies from. her Majesty's person, are placed emblematically on the coffin lid. The principal one, used by Bogi, the Governor, stands with the handle on the ground at the head of the body, and the feather drooping over the head of her Majesty. Two wax candles (lighted) are placed at the foot of the coffin, on a table covered with white diaper. ' In addition to the particulars already before the Pub lic, with respect to the arrangements made for the interment of her late Mijetty the Queen of the Sandwich Isles, we are enabled to state, that the usual process of embalming was not resorted to. The mode adapted on this occasion was by wrapping the body tightly in waxed linen, over which a cloth, oiled, was bound, and hot iron passed over it, which caused the waxed cloths to adhere closely to the body, excluding all influence of the atmospheric air. The body measured slx feet six inches; it is deposited is a coffin similar in its exterior appearance to those in which the Royal Family of this country are interred. Silver gilt is the metal with which the coffins of the Royal Family of England are ornamented. In this instance an inferior metal has been adopted, but it is gilt, and ornamented in nearly a similar way. This morning the remains of the Queen of the Sand wich Islands were removed from the Adelphi to the vault in St. Martin's Church, where they will continue until the departure of the King, when they will be conveyed to his own country. . . VAUXHALL • GARDE. S. • On! of the most delightful Fetes of the season was given at these Gardens on Saturday. The entertain ments were devoted to the gratification of youthful vi sitors, and a great number of respectable families as sembled on the occasion. The decorations were appro priate and splendid, the amusements varied and uninter rupted, and the whole management admirable. The display commenced at the early hour of six, and by dint of vigorous exertions and excellent arrangement the successive exhibitions were got through soon after ten, and the Gardens were cleared by twelve. The whole thing was highly creditable to the liberality, spirit., and enterprise, which characterise the conduct of this popular establishment. Many persons of high rank and fashion were present. SHERIFFS' COURT, JULY 10. CRIM. • BARING, ESQ. M.P.". CAPTAIN WEBSTER. This was an inquisition to assess damages for the se duction of the plaintiff's wife, the defendant having suf fered judgnient to go by default. The damages were laid at £lO,OOO. Mr. BROUGHAM, in stating the plaintiff's case, said, the. name of Baring stood high, both in the political and commercial world. Mr. H. Baring, the present plaintiff, was third brother of that family. He was pos sessed of an extensive fortune, which he had greatly improved by asesidenee in China. On his return from thence, aged about twenty-five, he found his eldest bro ther just returned from America, who brought with him a wife, daughter of one of the first families in Pennsyl vania, and also a younger sister of the . Lady, to whom the plaintiff paid his addresses, and, after a time, not withstanding some opposition from the fathers of each, they were married, and lived in a state of uninterrupted bliss for 20 years, in the course of which they had five children, the eldest a daughter, recently married ; another thirteen years of age; a son about twenty; another, fifteen; and an infant two years old. Captain W. du:- ing the last year, became a visitor in the family. He was the brother of Sir Godfrey Webster, and held a situation on the Staff of the present Viceroy of Ireland. He was five or six years younger than the Lady, but notwithstanding her advance in life, her attractions were great; and the Captain, in violation of the ties of friend. ship for the husband, in violation of the rights of hospi tality, and of every sacred duty, had weaned her affec tions from her husband, had deprived her offspring of her maternal care and protection, and left her to become an outcast of that society of which she had formerly been a pride and an ornament. They would hear, much better than he could describe it, from the witnesses, what were the terms of affection in which Mr. and Mrs. H. Baring had lived. Better, far better, even than the most eloquent speech, was the plain and simple evidence of the witnesses of truth, describing the domestic facts which fell under their constant observation. They would, from this evidence, estimate what must have been the acts of the seducer; they would remember the home which he had made desolate, .the children he had deprived of a mother, and the friend from whom he had torn a wife. They would shew, by their verdict, the sense they entertained of such conduct, and the pro tection bey were prepared to shed around the san c tuary of domestic life. He concluded, by entreating the Jury to award such a compensation in damages, which, `thongh no pecuniary redress could assuage the feelings, or mitigate the sense of loss to which the plaintiff was doomed, would nevertheless shew the defendant that he could not escape with impunity, and set an example which might deter others from pursuing the same arts and accomplishing, the same ruin. The first witness, Mrs. Wall, stated, that she wai the eldest sister of air. Barigag she had constant opportunities of witnessing the conjugal affection of the family, and always observed the greaten tenderness on both sides between Mr. and Mrs. Baring ; she had passed weeks together at their house, and never saw between them the slightest altercation ; there might have been differences of mere opinion, but they must occur everywhere. The eldest daughter of Mr. H. Baring was lately married; the eldest son is at Oxford; the second son in the Navy; the younger children are at home. Mrs. lienspt, another sister of Mr. Baring, gave precisely similar testimony of the affectionate intercourse which she always saw sub. silting between Mr. and Mrs. Baring; she did not know defendant. Cross-examined by Mr. Pang.—Her general residence was a day's journey from Mr. Barbig's house. Last autumn twelvemonths she spent three weeks at his house in the country, and saw them repeatedly in London after. She never heard from Mr. Baring of any former marriage of his wife's. This Lady's husband merely confirmed the evidence of his wife. Mrs. Dent, sister-in-law, had only to repeat that she had uni formly witnessed the same affectionate conduct on the part of Mr. and Mrs. H. Baring towards each other. Mr. Blagden attended Mrs. Baring on the 12th August, 1822, at her accouchement. It was in London, and Mr. H. Baring evinced at the time the most tender solicitude. Some of the Ladies who were already examined, were recalled, merely to prove that Mrs. H. Baring was at Brighton, with a French female attendant, last November. Four letters were then put in in evidence, from Captain Webster to Mrs. Baring. The one was dated Dublin Castle, the others Brighton ; all breathed the warmest love, and indicated an intimacy between the parties of the doiest nature. This was the ease on behalf of the plaintiff. Mr. DINMAN then said, it became his duty to address the Jury on behalf of Captain Webster ; he could not hip remarking, that it never was supposed that so lit- OE information would have been produced to the Jury, as a foundation for those heavy daniages which his Learned Friend had anticipated. It was true that some respectable Ladies had given evidence, but so very im material, as to lead one to suppose that they had been produced for no other reason than to give ornament and dignity to the cause ; for it was quite impossible that they, from their connection with the parties, could have been qualified to speak as to her conduct and principles. They are the sisters of the husband—unquestionably, the sister of the wife could not have been brought forward, but were there not many others that might? There was a grown-up daughter; had she no governess? Why was not the French waiting-maid called, who had consented to act on some occasions as the ,, Go Between?" She might, per haps, have told the Jury something of the uninterrupted happiness, as it was called, of the husband, but which the Jury must have seen had arrived at its conclusion long before Capt. W. had become acquainted with this Lady. The Lady's cbarms,which had won her husband's affec tions twenty years before, had vanished, and misery and distress and alienation had been planted in their place. How fallacious was all the evidence—how little upon which the Jury could rely i The respectable La dies who had been called all stated that even in autumn last the appearances of Mrs. Baring to her husband were the same as usual ; all was tranquillity and happiness and love, and yet she permitted a gross assignation with the defendant a Month before. What right then has any. man to infer that his client was the seducer? The Lady was married in 1802; she was then at least marriage, nor any of those circumstances to point out the extent of the loss which the plaintiff had sustained; The last persons in the world likely to hear what was going forward, were the sisters of the injured husband ; and yet' they were the only persons called 4 IS years of age; she is now on the verge of 40. The Gentleman was considerably under 30, and was his guilt so great, or did the circumstances of the case warrant that he should be subjected to heavy damages, which would place his personal liberty for life at the mercy of a man whom he was supposed to have injured? He was anxious to find out what were the feelings of the husband; how he spent his evenings; whether his strong affection had lasted up to the period of the seduction ; whether his attachment had not been abated by former seducers ; or whether, in fact, when 11:: had been released from the embraces of his wife, he had lost anything more than the name? No opportunity had been afforded of any examination as to the situation of the Lady before to describe the domestic happiness of the parties, which is now said to have been destroyed by Capt. Webster. No proof whatever had been adduced as to the period when the alienation of affections had taken place. What evidence was there to shew when Mr. Webster had be come acquainted with the Lady? None whatever: even the French maid was not called to prove it: all was left to surmise and conjecture. The letters unquestionably " denote a foregone conclusion" that the parties must have frequently met; but, under all the circumstances of the case, he would ask who was the seducer ? All evidence had beet}, most judiciously kept back, except those who were merely able to speak to the superficial appearances of the drawing-room; not one word as to the d , secrets of the levee,' or the " mysteries of the boudoir," or what was going forward oa those evenings when the husband had absented himself from home. Was this, then, a case from which a Jury could say that con siderable damages should arise? His Learned Friend had spoken of Capt. Webster not merely as if he had wished to denounce him as the first seducer of Mrs. Baring, but as the first transgressor of this sort in England; and he called upon the Jury with an energy as if they were as sembled to avenge the first inroad upon national morals. But, let the Jury ask themselves this question—Was it probable that a young man, introduced into a family of the very highest respectability, would have dared to [nuke advances to the head of that respectable family, if he had not received some encouragement ? Had he been content with stating it was this young man's duty to have resisted any advances that could have affected the honour of the wife of his friend, and the mother of his friend's children, that would indeed have been the strong ground to have rested the charge upon. These were considerations which the criminal ambition of any man could not have overcome. Who ever dares to commit such an outrage on society ? such attempts are out of the reach of youth and passion itself, unless the wife and the mother forgets the husband and the chil dren, and makes overtures. It was true she was the mo ther of five children, but were not those subjects for her reflection? ought she not to have remembered that she had a zrown up daughter, who has since been married, and who is now herself, perhaps, the mother of 'cliil dren—that she had a son of an age himself to be made the subject of a charge of this nature? These are things which must have been all forgotten by the wife before any man would dare to enter the sanctuary of domestic happiness. He would tell the Jury fairly, Captain Webster was not in a situation to pay heavy damages ; and if it 'was merely the object of Mr. Baring to render his character clear and spotless, nothing should be left to surmise or conjecture.— It had been stated that the injury was greater, because it was the breaking up of an old friendship ; he was ready to admit, that if his client had seduced the Lady from the arms of a long confiding husband, the case would have been worse, as regards the husband, not better as regards the wife; but the circumstances of the case clearly demonstrated that the.whole loss the hus band sustained was, being deprived of the appearances of love by which he had been deceived. His Learned Friend had said, it was the duty of the Jury to g i ve a lesson to others ; that they kept a school for the purpose of teaching parties how to conduct themselves. But let it be remembered, that it was not merely theschoOl for wives and lovers, but for husbands also ; and when they come before a Jury, they should be prepared to give a full a statement of their own conduct, and not rest their case upon the eloquence of their Counsel, howeverpow erful it might be. Under all the circumstances, he could not help thinking but that very moderate damages would amply satisfy the justice of the case. • The UNDID,SHIMITIP tpld the Jury, that they had heard the evi dence, and it would be for them to say, under all the circumstances, what amount of damages justice required. The Jury deliberated fur about half an hour, and returned a ver dict for the plaintiff — Damages One Thousand Pounds. The DIAMOND, a large new frigate, just finished at Chatham, will sail to-morrow, or Wednesday, for South America. Lust week some disturbances occurred between the soldiers and the people of Winchester; one of the soldiers of the 97th has been severely wounded. A beautiful tire balloon was let off on Saturday even ing from the heights near White Conduit House. The ascent was brilliant ; it went over to the south of London, and attained a great elevation. CORN-EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, JULY 19. There was an uncommon large supply of nearly all sorts of grain last week, except Barley. This morning, however, the supply iS:l3Ot followed up by any material quantities fresh 16, still there is ablest dance in the market, chiefly the remains of former sales.

Beans sell very heavily, and the prices of this article are further reduced is. to 2s. per quarter. Boiling and Grey Peas sell on much the same terms as last quoted. The great quantity of Oats that has lately come in, has almost stagnated the trade for this article, and although the prices are re ported is. to Ys. per quarter lower than this day set:night, still there is very little progress to be made in sales even at this teduc don.
