A lively and amusing Operetta was produced at this Theatre last night, and m-t with decided success. It was entitled "He Lies like Truth." Edward Rattler (we never heard of any Christian name, or such a sir-name, but Monona) is-a confirmed liar, and is in love with Miss Harriet Truepenny (Miss GRAY), and she with him, notwithstanding his known' propensity. Her father (W. BENNETT), however, has no such predilection for falsehood, and vows that if he de tects his proposed son-in-law in an untruth during a whole day, the match previously contracted shall be at an end. We need not say that Batiks. (WRENCH) begins, continues, and ends the day with a tissue of lies, to the truth of which he swears most solemnly; but having, according to the proverb, a very short memory, 1)e forgets Iris own inventions, and is on the point of conviction in every instance, either from his own un skilfulness or from some untoward discovery. He first asserts that he has a house in St. James's-square, which he has sok! for £15,000; next, that his friend Sir Charles Manly (BAKER) has promised him a high office in the Customs at Dover ; and afterwards, that he is on the point of a duel with an Irish Captain in the Lancers, be cause he had acckhntally pitched a man off a parapet , upon faim.These detailsare very amusingly,though extra vagantly given, and with an air of perfect confidence; but Rattler would infsllibly have been disappointed by the Lady but for the contrivance of a clever waiting. maid, Priscilla (Miss Gownitcr), and a versatile valet, Clincher (BENSON Hut.); the latter assumes various disguises, and enters, to prevent the detection of 0 e hero, at the very moment when he is wanted. Rattler himself is rot up to the trick,and is amazed to see his own lies confirmed as truth when he least expected it. The . old Gentleman is imposed upon until after he has in fact given his daughter away, and then the disclosure is toe lie to be of any consequence. The piece was well supported. Mr. WRENcri played wish 4ninialion, and Mr. HILL was frequently aplauded. fiss GowAati,.had but little to do, but in that lirtie she displayed her usual intelligence. Many of the situations are well worked up, and are highly effective. The novelty of giving' an actual ,1 local habitation and a "nit: to the ally nothings of the Liar, is well con ceived, and afforded much amusement. The entertainments concluded With the Bottle Imp, which retains its attractive powers. THE ARNIY. Nam's, JULY 24.—The town has been thrown into a sudden hustle by the arrival of an order last night for the immediate march of Me 87th Regiment of Fusikers, 800 strong, for Ireland. None Si the Officers had the slightest. expectation of such a movement, hat concluded their quarters to be permanently fixed in Chatham, or at least for a considerable period. The whole Regiment moved this morning, and will halt fot the night at Dartford: it will proceed fur Ireland by way of Liverpool. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Divoeroar, JULY 22.—Tbis has been a day of general festivity here. Nearly all the shops have been kept closed throughout the day ; and, of course, all descriptions of business at a complete stand. The Regatta at Plymouth has for years been looked forward to as a " warranty for pleasure," and a relaxation from the cares of business ; and In ne instance has the warranty been acted up to in so decided a manner as on the present occasion. In addition to the celebration of the annual aquatic amusement+, his Royal Highness the Lord High Admiral was expected to honour the town with his presence, which added considerably to the anti cipation of the inhabitants. The weather during the day was showery, but not so much so as to prevent the attendance of all those who had previously made up their minds to witness the sport. The assemblage from all parts of this and the adjoining counties was immense, the Hoe being the place of rendezvous. There was not a single height commanding view of the scene of action but was crowded with spectators of all denominations. The water was, of course, covered with every class of craft. On the shore, the hest arrangements were made for the accommodation of the numerous visitors, There were mar quees and booths, with a plentiful supply of refreshment. A line of carriages extended along the Hoe. At eleven o'clock the feut following yachts, of the first class, steeled from their moorings for a splendid silver cup, value SOL given by the Ladies :—The Menai, 180 tons, of Hastings, Mr. T. Smith, owner ; the Harriet, 96 tons, of Cowes, Lord Belfast. owner; the Lulworth, 127 tons, of Southampton, Mr. Weld, 1 owner ; and the Hebe, 66 tons, of Cowes, Mr. Garbutt, owner.— The distance sailed was about 24 miles. After a beautiful race the Menai came in first, having performed the distance in two hours sad 29 minutes; the Lulworth was only 50 seconds astern. It was stated that the Menai bad fouled one of the boats in the course, and 'a question has arisen whether she is not consequently to lose the prize ? which, in that case, will go to the second boat. At twelve o'clock the second class yachts took their station to compete fur a beautiful silver vase, which was won by the Julia, 42 tons, of Southampton, the property of Mr. Mill. Four yachts started for this prize. The third prize, of thirty sovereigns was carried away by the Providence, 38 tons, P. Foster, owner. . _ . The Lid High Admiral arrived in the Soveeeign yacht, about ' half-past two o'clock, and was received with salutes from several vessels, and cheering from the populace. His Royal Highness honoured the Port Admiral and the Com missioner ef the Dock-yard with his presence at dinner. THE DUBLIN REGATTA. ~ This Regatta comneeteed on Monday. As in Ireland it is a novel description of amusement, the most lively interest was excited amongst all classes on the present occasion. At so early an hour as five o'clock, the road to Kingstown was thronged with carriages, cars, gigs, and other vehicles; horsemen and pedestrians; and visitors continued to arrive in great numbers during the day. Lan before the time appointed for the sailing, of the yachts, the town was crowded to excess ; and every spot around the Bay, tram which a view could be obtained, was occupied by anxious spectators. At ten o'clock, the harbour contained upwards of 300 small craft, principally pleasure.boats,which were handsomely and appropriately decorated. Four steam vessels, the lonian!, Kingstown, Man chester, and Glasgow, appeared beyond the pier; they had sailed from the Custom House Quay at an, early hour in the morning, with as many passengers as they could safely convey. The Royal Charlotte yacht was anchored in the harbour, having on board a military band, which played several delightful airs during the day. Shortly after ten o'clock, his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, - the Earl of Errol, Lord William Paget, and two of the yuanger sous of his Excellency, appeared on the. teach. The Viceregal party were greeted with deafening shoats of applause from the int poetise multitude, the Ladies on board the pleasure boos waving their handkerchiefs. His Excellency'aprared delighted with his re-,. ceptiou,and acknowledged his grateful sense of it by uncovering, and repeatedly bowing. A small boat having been brought to the shore, his Excellency and his younger sons stepped in, and proceeded on board his yacht, the Pearl, in which they took a prominent part in the amusements of the day; the whole of which had been projected in honour of him. The vessels entered to sail for the first Prize Cup, value 75 sows. baying been arranged by Lord William Paget, a gun was fired from ea board the Tiger revenue cruiser, as a signal of their readiness tor sailing ; two gun. noticed that they bad slipped their moorings, when they proceeded. The following are the names of the yachts, and their owners— Ganymede, 70 tons, Colonel Madden; Ruby, 50 tons, John Fitzgerald, Esq. M.P. Liberty, 42 was, Earl of Errol; Thetis, 37 tone, Rev. D. George • Emerald Isle, tonsjortescue Grey, Esq. Sapphire, 69 tons, Lord Newboro'. Immediately after &tatting, the Ruby met with an accident, from coining in contact with another vessel, and was disabled irons pro ceediug. Indeed, little way was made by the Sapphire or Emerald Isle. The other three yachts dashed forward before a strong breeze, the Liberty, on board of which was the Earl of Errol, taking the lead, which she kept whilst the vessels proceeded in the prescribed route ; first going southward round a vessel moored in that direc tion; then round a Vessel off the Rossberg'4hual, having a red flag. at her mast head ; then round a vessel off the south buoy of the Dublin Bar, bearing a white Hag; then making fur the harbour. and passing between the Royal Charlotte and the Tiger, which was considered as the winning point. According to previous arrange ment, the three ventels agile proceeVed in the same route, the Liberty still first, until she came to the passage between the old and new piers, coming into the harbour. Here she was impeded by a strong breeze, blowing directly against her, and she was driven from her course, and delayed in tacking. In the meantime the Gany rnede came up, and round the same difficulty its passing between the piers. Whilst the Liberty and Ga..ymede were thus situated, the Thetis advanced, keeping close to the old pier; and with scarcely a moment's delay, tacked about at the turn, and got a-bead.. She advanced rapidly through the harbour, and artived first at the winning post, followed, at the distance of about ten yards, by the other vessels; the Liberty came in second. Three guns from the Tiger, and loud cheers from the multitude along the beach, an nounced: the success of the Thetis. The Rev. Mr. George, the owner (son of the late Baron George), was on board. The Liberty was the Favourite, and large odds were taken in her favour. During the sailing, considerable nautical skill was displayed by those on board this b,.autiful yacht. In the experimental matches which bad been sailed for some days past, she outstripped all her adver saries. It was nearly three o'clock when this race bad concluded. At half-past direr, the preliminaries hiving been gone through, the dollowing vessels sailed for the seventh claw Pnze Cup, value sel! Corsair, 8 tons, John Cordwell, Esq. Dledora, 7 tons, Barnes, Req. Daisy, 5 toss, Fortescue Gregg, Esq. Esther, 6 togs, Thos. Faroe% Esq. Mary ea Sunbelt), Hon. Mr. Annesley, This match was Win it o'clock by the Corsair. Two Rowing Matcheil; which took place whilst the Sailing Matches proceeded, exched a good deal of interest. They *ere well contested. • The Lord Lieutenant's jacht, the Pearl, sailed about the bay during the day. His Excellency appeared to derive the most per fect enjoyment front the setae around him, and at times guided the helm himself. Beattie hint stood his two sons, who were no lets gratified than their father.' As his Excellency passed the steam packets and other vessels, he was loudly cheered by those on hoard.

Rosman's pronounced judgment in this case to-day. It was a claim for salvage for raising the above named ship, when sunk three fathoms deep off the Needles. A preliminary objection raised was, that the claimant had actrici as an agent in the transaction, not as a salvo!, and could not claim as the latter. The question for the Court was, whether the ordinary cases in which it gave salvage were controlled, or intended to be controlled, by this appointment? The instrument in this case appointed • Mr. Davis, the claimant, the at torney or agent of the master, to do all such things as would be neCessary for the safety and advantage of the ship. This ship was sunk on her voyage from Falmouth, off the Needles, and immediately the Captain wrote to the house to which Mr. Davis belonged, to come and exert himself to save the cargo. An agent from Lloyd's came to the place also, from London, and declared several times, in the presence of the claimant that he had come down in order m prevent all claims 'for salvage, and that all service should be pail for as labour; and it came out in evidence that Mr. Davis had at all times acquiesced in this proposal. Under all these circumstances he (Sir Christopher Robinson) pronounced against the claim as a demand for salvage; but the ap pointment as agent was not a bar to the jurisdict on of the Court, and it left the award for his services to the ship and cargo, which he was the principal instrument of raising, to the register and merchants. IN THE MATTER OF TWO SLAVES, BETSEY AND EMMA. This was an Appeal from the Vice-Admiralty Court of St. Kitts, in the case of two female slaves, who had . clandestihely got on board a vessel which sailed from Roseau in Dominica, for Wilmington in Nor th Carolina, its order to make their escape. The master discovered them next day, and pnt them on shore at the nearest island, St. KittA, where they were committed by the Magistrate to the custody of the Marshal. A prose cution was instituted against the master for an offence undee the slave laws ; the Vice-Admiralty Court de cided against the prosecutors; but the Governor deem ing it proper to have the opinion of the Court of Admirality in England, the matter was brought by way of appeal. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORFOLK CIRCUIT—BEDFORD, Jun' 23. IMPORTANT TO COACH PROPIHETORS.-MART V. PEN- NINGTON. In this case the plaintiff, a coach proprietor, sought to recover the sum of 551. Bs. 6d. true to him from the defendant, a co-proprietor of the Paul Pry coach, in which other persons had also been interested. The plaintiff and defendant had, with others, been engaged in horsing the Paul Pry from October, 1826, till April, 1827, when, the speculation being found to be a bad one, it was agreed to relinquish it in favour of a more, promising concern, and Paul Pry, with all his attractive' qualities, was allowed, unlike his celebrated rival, Liston, to retire from public notoriety, and sink quietly back.into the shade. kappeared that the plaintiff was the proprietor at the extreme end of the road through which the coach had to eon froth the Golden Cross, ;Charing Cross ) London, of which inn Mr. Home is the landlord in chief. The plaintiff had from time to time Paid sums over and above his allotted share, and the way-bilis or fare bills from Mr. Horne's office had di rected the defendant to pay the plaintiff the surpitis, which, consisting of three items, amounted to the sum ,of money claimed. Mr. Sergeant Svoncs, with whom was Mr. SMITH, conducted the case for the plaintiff; Mr. KELLY and Mr. Guttstau fur the defence. . . Stephen Mart, brother to the plaintiff, And for some pusßose his attorney, proved an examination df the account, between the plaintiff and defendant in his pre• sence, and snadmission by the defendant that the amount claimed was right, that he was sorry he could not pay it, but would remit the amount in a few days. The witness was cross-examined at considerable length, but nothing material was elicited to invalidate his testimony. Mr. Km.te submitted that there must be a nonsuit. OH the ground of partnership and non-cr ncurrence cf the other partners, admitting the account put in to be correct, as the claim made by the plaintiff. The ac count was only the account of Mr. Horne, and if the plaintiff had any remedy it was in equity, and not at law. He quoted several authorities in support' of his opinion. The. Loan CHIEF BARON was of opinion that lie had not made out a case for a nonsuit, and directed the cause to proceed. Mr. KELLY asked leave to move for a nonsuit. The Lotto Cuter BARON—No; I wilt not give you leave. Mr. Kp.t.it then addressed the Jury fa the defendant, and called one Morris, who bad been tor '2B days a pa►trer in the coach in question, to prove that an agree. ment, different from the one proved by the plaintiff, had been made by him. Cross-examined—He admi►ted he was and always had been •ei y ►ntimate with the defendant. Several other witnesses were called to prove that the partneralip accounts were never settled, and that the . . test of the partners knew nothing of the claim made upon the defendant, or his admission that it was doe. Morris turned out to be a debtor to the concern and not a creditor of it. The LORD CHIRY BARON summed up a ith great impartiality, observing, that the question was one • f' pest iMpoltiOCC t which had occupied a great deal 4at time, but he hoped would not occupy so much of ' the time of the Jury in the disposal of it. The question for the plaintiff rested mainly upon the evidence of the witness Mart, without which he had no case at all, and . would be driven to the more expensive, tedious, and• disagreeable coarse, by bill in Chancery. The conver: sation in October, between the defendant and this wit. ness, was very strong and sattsfactory. But these were witnesses on the other side, who had given a - different complexion to the case, and it would be for the Jury to decide to whom they would give the balance of credit. The defendant's witnesses had sworn that the accounts of the partnership were still unsettled. The Jury returned a verdict for the defendant. Several leading coach proprietors were in Court. CHELMSFORD, JULY 24.—Befere Mr. Baron Gaaaow . John Wallis and Lucy Bartlett were charged with having assaulted John Wren on the King's highway, and taken from his person a purse containing 555. The prosecutor was a deaf and dumb man. He had been for many years in the employ of Mr. Twy ford, of Itomford, and could only give his evidence by means of gestures and yells, which Mr. Twyford un dertook to interpret. According to that Gentleman's version of these signs, it appeared that on the 29th of June he was in a public house at Itomford, kept by Mrs. Layman, where he bad, share of three pints of porter. The prisoners came into the house while he was there. He left at eleven o'clock at night, and had not proceeded far before the female prisoner came up to I him, collared him, and attempted to throw hill down. • . . He war, however too strong for her, and the.other prl toner came to her assistance, and knocked him down. They then took from his purse, containing 11. 1.514 in silver. The evidence of the prosecutor was in some degree corroborated by Mrs. Layman, at whose house he had been; and French, the constable who arrested the pri soners, and who found thirty-shillings on the person of Bartlett, deposed, that the moment tlse prosecutor saw them, he intimated by signs that they were the. persons who Mad robbed him. Mr. Baron GARROW, in summing up, observed strongly on the great advantage" the law extended to prisoners, in giving them an opportunity ofkross examining witnesses. Now this could not be done in the present case, or perhaps it might be shown, by what passed before the transaction; and what in addition to the evidence given, that the offence was not of the heinous nature charged. In a.caie, therefore, which might affect the lives of the accused, he thought it hardly sale to rest on such evidence. . The Jury immediately returned a verdict Not.Guilly. Before Lord Tasmania. Robert Pranks, a substantial farmer at Waltham Abbey, surrendered to take his trial on an indictment charging- him with having riotously assembled,' with divers other persons, and assaulted Philip Taber. It appeared, that on the 2d of February, the Ffrosecutor WAS at the Three Tuns, at Waltham Abbey, when the defendant came in, and endeavoured to provoke him to fight. Prosecutor refused, and soon after left the Three Tuns. Defendant followed him, abused him as an in- Isrmer, in consequence of prosecutor's having been in strumental in causing him to be fined for keeping an illicit poaching net, collected a crowd about him, and at length struck him down, and kicked him violently.— Verdict, Gsegig. The Loan Cum? JUSTICE 'sentenced WitU .: to be im prisoned for sill months, and at the end of that period to find sureties to keep the peace. William Whipps, aged 16. servant, was put to the bar, charged with having feloniously assaulted, with intent, &c. Eliza Whale, an infant of the age of six years. The child was on a visit to her aunt, an innkeeper, at Bocking, in whose service tie prisoner was at the time, in the capacity of " boots." The (Armee lists committed in March last, in a cowhouse. The prose cutrir, a very pretty and intelligent child, .gave her evidence with great clearness. The Jury found the pri s oner guilty, and the Learned JUDGE immediately sentenced him to two months.' soli tary confinement, and to be twice privatalf whipped. • Richard Green/till, aged twenty•f. ur, w-a► indicted for feloniously breaking and entering the duelling hou , e of James Smith, at-Great Chishall, and stealing therein several articles of dress and some halfpence, the property of the said James Smith. The prosecutor was at chapel when his cottage was broken open and the property stolen. A neighbour of the prosecutor's saw the prisoner .t7iiig up a bundle in the garden of the prosecutor,and in consequence at her ,ttformation, a pursuit was made, and the prisoner over taken, with part of the property in his possesuioll. He was found guilty, and set.tence of Death recorded (Before Mr. Baron GAIIItOM and a Combas Jeri). . • . • surmise (mimic) v: 711MAII.

In this case the plaintiff sought to recover the sum of 71. 14s. which he had paid on account of the funeral expenses cf the defendant's son. It appeared that the defendant by letter had authorised the plaintiffto mate • arrangements for the funeral, and that in consequence a person of the name of Spooner had supplied a hearse.
