ENGLISH ()PIMA HOUSE. —..—.-.. . iast night this Theatre boasted a crowded end elegant audience to welcome Miss KELLY, whose return to the Stage, after a long absence, must be bailed with rapture by every admirer of true dra matic talent. Equally capable of exciting tears or laughter, this Lady has adorned two departments of the art, so different in their nature, that the qualifications required for both have seldom been found to exist in the same individual. It has been her felicity, how ever, to excel in each ; so that her absence may he said, without a blunder, to have created two vacancies in the Drama, which are now happily filled rip by her return. The Aldo-drama of The Maid crd the Magpie, a production insured to popularity in this country by her former exertions, was the piece seiecteei for her re appearance. The House was crowded in all parts, and the strongest demonstrations of welcome hailed the entrance of this celebrated actress, and never did she produce a wronger effect on any former occasion. Der astonishment on hearing the first accusation, het terror on dropping the purse, her anxiety on obst eying the chain of circumstantial evidence, coiling, as it were, round her devoted life, though capable of being burst and dissipated by a wor d w hi c h she dared not ixonounce ; her solemn protestations of innocence, her filial piety, and her despair, were calculated to raise the pro fession itself in the estimation of the auditors. tier excellence n iias acknowledged by repeated bursts of applaes:e, and by tears, one drop of which was alone worth a thousand acelemations.— Mr. Reamer sustained the part of Gerrard in a very impressive manner; lie gave full force to the scene in which honest simplicity fets powerful knavery at defiance. Mr. Pawner appeared for the first time in the character of Bloieot. There arc few performers on the Stage who can equal this Gentleman in the expression of strung enutheos. lite agitation during the examination of Anisette by the Jastice, Ins frequent interruptions of that worthy specimen of offi cial delinquency, and his subsequent scenes with the fair victint of oppression, were proofs of very considerable talent. We could not !kip regretting now and then that Raizot did not happen to be an Irishman. lice name would pethao have dune by altering the position of t h e letter 0, and if such had been the case, Mr. tJMahe might have appeared to the greatest advantage. A Gentleman of the name of YOUNG, from America, as the hills inform us, made his debut before a London audience in the part of Enerard, but as the character is one of minor importance, we s't.dl only say that leer proved himself fully capable of answering dl its demands. We have already stored enough to chew that the Piece has been well got up—an inv.: sion which the whole (louse proclaimed with the cheering sounds of approbation.— • An Opera upon an extensive scale, requiring two Orchestras, has bad two general rehearsals at this Theatre, the music by Wawa, which is very scientific and effective; each rehearsal has occupied six hours. Mr. ihlAllaM is the principal character in it, and has paid particular attention to both rehearsals. The Overture to the Opera is by the same Composer, and the same which was performed at the Oratorios and Concerts of last season, with great applause. HAYMARKun The entertainments of last evening commenced with She Stoops to Commer, in which the audience were gratified with las Totes Tony luitiskin,and Mrs. CuArimar.ev's Miss Hardens*. The laughable lace of Mrs. Smith followed, and was carried through with much bade and effect. Mr. I.lsTote, in the character of Mr. Smith, showed bow well he could lay aside his professional character of broad mirth, and assume that which he is so well qualified to sustain in Ovate life—that of a per feet Gentleman. The performances closed with Simpson and Co. with the Mrs. Brantley of Miss Cirusacti. The house was literally crowded. lIIGII COURT OF ADMIRALTY. EDINBUMr, JULY s. This day came as, before the High Court of Admi ratty, the trial of William Blackwood and Alexander illacalpine,late master and pilot of the Hercules steam boat, plying on the Clyde, accused of culpable homicide, in so tar as they, upon the 18th day of February last, whilst proceeding from Glasgow to Greenock, and when nearly opposite to the island of Inch Green, by ex treme and culpable carelessness, inattention, and mis conduct, in directing the course of the said Hercules steam boat, came in collision with the Robert Burns steam boat, then proceeding from Greenock to Glas gow, whereby Archibald Thomson, lately residing at Cragans Ferry, in Argyllshire, then on board of the Robert Burns, was bereaved of life, and thus culpably killed by the said William Blackwood and Alexander Macalpine. To this charge, the pannels pleaded gene rally Not Guilty. A conoiderable number of witnesses were examined on the part of the prosecutor, and also for the pannels. The testimony of those persons who happened to be in each of the boats, as to which party was to blame for the accident, was in direct contradic tion of each other. The Jury were addressed by Mr. M.NtEr. for the prosecution, and by Mr. COCKBURN for the pannels, The Judge (Sir JOHN CONNELL) then summed up the case, and the Jury, after having been out for nearly a quarter of an hour, returned a unani mous verdict, finding the pannels Not Guilty. Black wood and Macalpine were then dismissed from the bar, after a short address from the Judge on the propriety of the regulations relative to the navigation of the Clyde being strictly attended to, particularly by steam boats. The trial lasted from ten o'clock till nearly ten at night. Brussels Papers to the Bth instant have reached us. Their contents are unimportant. The number of poli tical characters who repaired to Johannisberg, to meet Pritice Metternich, continued to increase, and the report that the affairs of the East and those of Brazil were the subjects under consideration, seemed to be gaining ground. Tuesday last a Conservatory Jury, consisting of 23 householders of the county of Middlesex, sworn in be fore the Lord Mayor of London, proceeded, in one of the City barges, with 16 rowers in full es:Attune, down the River Tha mes , to observe and report any nuisances or impediment s calculated to obstruct the safe naviga tion of the River. In their progress down the River, the Jury partook of an excellent lunch, provided by Cuffe, of the Freemasons' Tavern, one of the Jury. Miss CLARA. FISHER netted 1801. at her benefit in Cork, on Monday sennight ; the house was crowded to excess. In consequence of a misunderstanding in the boxes at the Theatre on that ui ht, a duel was fought at Ryecourt on the following Wednc•Aay, between Mr. )WETE, of Macroom, and Mr. CLARK, of Bandon. Atter an exchange of shots, an amicable adjustment was' effected.— Dublin Paper. ST.

LORD 131 RON. Ye , terclay morning. a consultation was held between the Honourable Mrs. Leigh, Lord Byron's sister, and Mr. Hobhouse and Mr. Hanson, his Lordship's execu tors, as to whether he should be entombed in Poet's Corner, Westminster Abbey, or in the family vault at Newstead Abbey. Toe Noble Lord's sister expressed a great wish that he should be deposited at the latter place, and Messrs. Hobhouse and Hanson immediately acceded to the Honourable Lady's request, and imme diate orders to drat effect were given to Mr. Wooden son, the undertaker in Norris-street, Haymarket, to prepare for the journey. It is arranged that the body shall lay in state this day and to-morrow, and that the funeral shall take place on Monday morning. We were yesterday favoured by Mr. Woodenson with a sight of the coffin, and the case that is to contain the vases in which will be deposited his Lordship's heart, brains, and entrails. The coffin is covered with rich crimson Genoa velvet, and at the head and tail are coronets entwined in a wreath, composed of brass furniture; the edges of the case are adorned with three rows of brass-headed nails, the sides have three handles, and cherubims are placed between them. On the inscription-plate is engraven— GEORGE GORDON NOEL BYRON, Loan Bram, of Rochdale, Born in London, Jan. 22, 1788, Died at Miss°kinship in Western Greece, April 19, 1824. On the case or urn, which corresponds with the cof fin, is inscribed— Within this Urn arc deposited the Heart, Brains, Bcc. of the deceased Lord Byron. At nine o'clock on Monday morning the funeral pro cession will move from No. '2O, Great George -street, in the following order: Mr. Woodenson, the Undertaker, on horseback. Two mutes, with batons.

Sir Ralph Noel, Bart. father to Lady Byron, has been written to, to ascertain if it is his intention to follow his lamented son-in-law to the tomb, but his answer has not yet,been received. Lady Byron, who is at present with her father, ex pressed her wish privately to see the remains of her de ceased Lord before they are screwed down, and, we un derstand, last night she repaired to Great George-street for the purpose. Her Ladyship, in viewing the body of her late Lord, was much affected. DISCIPLINE OF NETVGATE. In consequence of having seen a statement in some of the Daily Papers, to which the names of the several shopmen who were convicted of having sold blasphe mous books in Cartile's shop, in Fleet-street, were sub scribed, the City Jail Committee thought proper to meet at Newgate, and inquire into the matter of complaint, which the City Magistrates were extremely willing to remedy, if remedy was necessary. Friday, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen Wood,Joshua Jonathan Smith, and Thompson, all of whom are Mem bers of the Jail Committee, met at Newgate, and pro ceeded with the Inquiry, by an examination of several prisoners ; and they ascertained, as might be expected, that there was very little ground indeed for complaint, and that the regulations of the Pi ison, so far from being pushed to the extreme, are acted upon in a manner which at once prove the humanity of the Governor, and the confidence which the City Magistrates repose in him. Gibraltar Papers to the 25th ultimo arrived yester day. We notice in one of them an atrocious case of piracy upon the Speranza Maltese brig in the service of the Greek Government, and stationed upon the coast to warn vessels from approaching the Turkish fortresses of Coron and Modon, blockaded by the Gtveks. The crew, consisting of fourteen, were all murdered. Seven of the pirates have been taken through the vigilance of Captain PECILELL, of the SyBILLE, and were to be in scantly tried. An article from Malta states that the troops on board the Turkish fleet were 20,000 in num ber, commanded by Mamelukes, and disciplined by French officers. Monday morning last, about four o'clock, the pantry of the Elul of Cu A KLEVILLE, in Cavendish-square, was robbed of two dozen silver spoons, 18 dessert ditto, 31 silver forks, and many other articles of plate. COURT OF CHANCERY—THIS DAY. JUDGMENT—SAUNDERS V. SAUNDERS. The LORD CHANCELLOR, on taking his seat this day, proceeded to give Judgment in this cause; which re lated to property and estates of very valuable consider ation. The cause now came before the Court on a mo tion for an injunction to stay certain proceedings at law; and also praying fora writ of assistance,to enable the Petitioners to obtain the estates named in the plead ings. His Lordship having noticed the prayer of the Petition and the arguments adduced on the hearing, took a review of the case as it stood between the par ties. His Lordship expressed himself inclined to lean towards the Petitioners, and supported as he was by former decisions and authorities, granted the Injunction and the writ of assistance. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JULY 8. THE PORTUGUESE AMBASSADOR'S (OLIVIERA) THE KING v. THORNTON. This was a question, whether the defendant, a re spectable auctioneer, was liable to pay to the . Ci own the sum of 1141. 19s. 3d. which this information demanded of him for duties. It appeared that the Portuguese Ambassador, on leaving this country in 1823, employed an agent, named Haydon, to sell his wines and cordials. That agent employed Mr. Thornton, who obtained per mission from the Board of Excise to sell the whole by auction to English purchasers. The sale took place at the vaults, in South Audley-street, and the duties hav ing been withheld, the Crown sought in this instance to recover the amount. The question was, whether the delendant had received these duties in such a way as to make him liable? Mr. IlttouottAst, for the defendant, contended, that his client had paid over the proceeds of the sale to the Agent of his Excellency the Portuguese Ambassador, and that it would be hard to make him pay it again. The Souctlat-GENERAL said, there was no hardship in making Mr. Thornton account for these monies, which in law he was liable to pay. If he had inad vertently paid it in his own wrong, he could not expect the Crown would seek to recover it in Poitugal of the Ambassador. It was also contended, upon three letters written by the defendant to the Customs, that he was quite sensible he was liable for the duty. Mr. BROUGHAM took several objections, but the most material point of law was founded on the 7th Anne, which exempts the property of Foreign Ministers from the Excise and Customs Duties. The CHIEF BARON reserved the point for the future consideration of the Court. In his charge to the Jury he observed, Ambassadors from Foreign States were allowed to import wines and other articles for their own, personal use, free of duty ; but lie did not know that the law allowed such property to be transferred to any person for sale, so as to put the duty into his pocket. The best way to decide the point of law would be to find a verdict for the Crown. if the Jury, upon the facts, could find for the defendant, there would be an end of the cause.—The Jury found for the Crown. RiCHARDS AND ANOTHER V. BARON DE THIERRY. Mr. WHEATLEY stated that this was an action upon a bill of exchange for 2251. drawn by the plaintiffs, 'and accepted by the defendant, Baron De Thierry. The necessary formalities were proved, and there being no defence, a verdict was given for die plaintiffs, with 91. interest-2341. 19e. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 8. BARNES V. ANTHONY. This was an action for goods sold and delivered. The Plaintiff, Captain Barnes, brought with him from India in June last year, two Indian bulls, one Indian spotted deer, two land tortoises, and a hackery, or an Indian car, and learning that the defendant, who was a watch• maker in Clerkenwell, had an exhibition of animals in Pall• Mall, he applied to him to exhibit his car and ani mals, and an agreement was entered into between them, by which they were to share the profits. The car, which was an old worn one, was painted up, and a new canopy of silk added to it. Mr. Cruikshank was employed to paint likenesses of the bulls, which were varnished, and hung up in the exhibition room, and everything was done in the way of advertisements and placards to make it known to the public. The speculation, however, was attended with little,success, the whole amount of the ieceipts, from June till October, being under 30/. Captain Barnes was about to return to India, and he offered to sell the car and animals to the defendant. After some negociation, Mr. Anthony agreed to pur chase them for 501. but after he paid 151. he set up a charge for keeping the animals, and other expenses, and refused to pay the remainder. The case was clearly proved ; the Jury found fcr the plaintiff—Darnagcs 351. PREROGATIVE COURT, JULY 8. IN THE MATTER OF BANTON. This was an application on behalf of certain relatives' and creditors of Mary Manton, deceased, praying the Court to compel Mr. Francis Banton, the executor, to take out probate of the effects. From the statement of Counsel it appeared, that the executor had paid several sums of money out of his pocket witivsut taking out Probate. The effects of the testatrix were in the hands of a Mr. Eldon, who did not know how to dispose of them.—The application was made by Dr. LusitiNGTON. The COURT said that it was a case worth inquit ing into. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JULY 8. George Lawrence was opposed by Mr. PoLLocE, on behalf of William Holland. It appeared from the ex amination of the insolvent, that he had married a wi dow, who had five children by her former husband, and a separate income of 3701. alear. About a year and a half ago, his father lent him a sum of money, for which he' gave him a bill of sale of his furniture as a security ; under which he had since possessed himself of the furniture. His opposing creditor was a man who carried on several trades ; he was an appraiser, a linen draper, a broker, a tailor, &c. and he (insolvent) had too much reason to believe that his kind attentions to Mrs. Lawrence were carried to too great an extent. She lived in one of his rouses, and he supplied her and her children with clothes and everything else they wanted,. for which the insolvent was unfortunately liable, as no deed of separation had been executed between them. The insolvent's father confirmed his statement re specting the bill of sale, which he said lie received from his son on the day on which it bore date. Mr. Holland was then examined, and stated that he carried on all the trades mentioned by the insolvent, and many others besides. He was a married man and had two children. Mrs. Lawrence employed him to appraise the insolvent's goods, which he valued at 1041. but they were claimed by the insolvent's father, who took them away, and sold them for 301. He denied that there existed any grounds for the insolvent's sus picions respecting his intimacy with his wife; he had certainly walked with her, arm in arm, and furnished tier house; but this was nothing mope than what any man should do for an unprotected womp t whose bus• band had forsaken her. On his cross-ciimination, he said, he believed that she. had a separate income of 3701. a-year, but she told him that the insolvent spent : a great part of it. He had furnished the house in which Mrs. Lawrence resided, for the purpose ref m a king money of it by letting it in lodgings; he was deter mined to have as many irons in the fire as possible. He had not made the affidavit of debt on which the insol vent was arrested; he supposed an affirmation would do as well as an cath ; he was by persuasion a Quaker ; he had taken an oath on the present occasion, because he swore sometimes. He left the affidavit of debt to his attorney ; he did not understand what Counsel meant by tho,e technical terms: (after some explanation) he said that his foreman had sworn the affidavit for him.— lie did not consider the insolvent and his wife to be se parated, although they lived apart. It was her wish to be separated from him. The witness was here handed. a letter folded, and directed to say, without opening it, if it was his handwriting. He at first said it looked like it ; but upon opening it (notwithstanding the in junction to the contrary), he retracted this belief, and finally swore positively it was not his handwriting. The Counr, after hearing Counsel on each side, ob served that there was a contradiction of testimony in this case, but the opposing creditor's evidence, to say the least of it, was such as it would be very unsafe to remand the insolvent upon. From what appeared be fot e them, it seemed very probable that, were it not for tl.e intervention of the Act, the insolvent would hare lain in prison at the suit of this man for a very long time. As it was, the Court adjudged that be was en titled to the benefit of the Act; and he was ordered to be discharged forthwith. Richard Yeomans was brought up for his discharge. This poor man is the same person who prosecuted a man named Gteasley, at the Spring Sessions for Lei cester., in May last, for assaulting him, and biting off his nose. Since his imprisonment he received a debt of 15/, which he now acknowledged, and paid 51. 11s. into Court. He was then discharged. • W. Pon/ton came up for final hearing, having been originally opposed by Mr. Pollock, on behalf of a cre ditor of the name of Murrell. It was alleged against the insolvent that he purchased on condition, that if the goods were not approved they would be returned. Mr. Murrell was examined at great length,'and his books inspected, by which it appealed, that the goods were entered in the usual way, and it was evident that an interlineation " on sale or return" was written at a different time, and with a different pen and ink. • This circumstance, founded an argument for Mr. HEATH, the insolvent's Counsel, that the goods were regularly sold, especially as by the book itself, it ap peared that on the 21st of the same month a 201. bill was paid in part, and a memorandum, with promise, that the residue, 131.75. should be returned, which pro mise was never performed, and the insolvent absconded. The COURT said, it was evident the opposing creditor had concealed the facts of the ground of his complairt from his Counsel, and the evidence he gave went fully to shew that the transaction was of a bona, de descrip tion. There was, however, great reason to believe that the insolvent had acted dishonestly; and it was rather from the informality of the evidence against him, than from hi, own merits, that the Court discharged him. SOUTHWARK SESSIONS. Yesterday the Quarter Sessions for the Borough of Southwark were held before the Lorin MAYOR, the RE CORDER, the HIGH BAILIFF, and Alderman J.J. SMITE!. A man named Pardy pleaded guilty to - a charge of having brutally assaulted a milkman named Davis.— The COURT sentenced him to be imprisoned for duce months in the Borough Compter. William Perriug, a young fisherman, was tried on the charge of having stolen two chests of tea from the Union schooner, whilst she lay in the Thames.—Tbe Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and sentenced him to be transported for life. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. John Carroll, a boy of twelve years of age, was con victed of picking Major Carter's pocket of a handker chief; he had been convicted of a similar offence last Session, and sentenced to one month's imprisonment.— The COURT now sentenced him to three months in the House of Correction, and to be whipt. Henry Dover, a boy of ten years, was convicted of stealing potatoes in Covent-garden market, and sen tenced to be imprisoned a month, and whipt. John Thompson, a young man who said he was a surgeon, was convicted of stealing a hat, and sentenced to tour months hard labour in the House of Correction. Several charged with picking pockets were acquitted. MELA NCIIOLY ACCIDENT.—Sunday forenoon, about eleven o'clock, as a number of persons, assembled on the east side of the Prince's Dock, Liverpool, and on a long stage extending to a ship lying the second from the quay, were watching some boys who were trying to take an empty bottle out of the water, their accumtr laced weight broke one of the under bearers or cross bars which was lashed to the spars, and upon which the planks re,ted, and immediately upwards of thirty per sons were precipitated into the water, but all, except five, were rescued from a watery grave. The bodies of those five were conveyed to two public-houses, in Roberts street North, where they were attended by Mr. T. W. DAVIES, surgeon, St. Paul's-square, and Mr. DAWSON, surgeon, who were on the spot very soon after the acci dent, and by their exertions succeeded in restoring ti e suspended animation of a young man, named Gt iffiths ; and they also perseveringly, for several hours, tried every means with two of the others, but without sutcess. The sufferers are— Peter Wilkinson, recently from Manchester, a volunteer from the Lancashire Militia, going to the 84th Regiment, in Ireland. Richard Thomas, 16, son of one of the street watchmen. Thomas Rose, 19, apprenticed to a blacksmith. John Ainsworth, 19, apprenticed to a cabinet-maker, and son of one of the police-officers. John Holbert, 16, apprenticed to Mr. Crompton, paper-dealer, CORN-EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, JULY 9. The arrivals of this week arc—English Wheat , 6,850 quarters ; Barley, 480 qrs. Oats, 22,100 qrs. Irish Oats, 2,800 qr.. Flour, 7,500 sacks. The quantities being large and the weather being now very fine, causes great dulness to prevail in the sale of all sorts of Corn. Wheat hardly supports the terms of Monday, and inferior sorts are unsaleable. Barley supports last quotations. Beans are very dull and rather cheaper. Oats arc abundant, and Is. per qr. lower than on Monday last. London Averages fur the week ended July 3.—Wheat, 7,650 qrs. at 635. 4d. Barley, 276 qrs. at 545. 3d. 041, 15,344 qrs. at Gd.
