The Monument has been executed by GOBLET. It is a pyramid, the base of which rests on the entablature of a square pedestal, between the two side pilasters of which is placed the inscription, which we give below. Around the base of the pyramid are scat tered books, papers, &c. and in its centre is a medal lion of Dr. BURNEY. This is in bold relief, and is not less remarkable for the beauty of its execution, than for its strong resemblance to the amiable, ac cruplislied, and lamented man, to whose memory the monument is erected : Charles Burney, D.D. F.A.S. F.& A. Rector of this Parish, and of Chffe, in this County, Prebendary of Lincoln, and Chaplain in Ordinary to his Majesty, Born Dec. 5, 1757 ; died Dec. 28, 1817. In him were united the highest attainments in learning, with manners at once dignified and attractive ; peculiar promptitude and accuracy of judgment, with equal geaerosity and kindne v. of heart. His jealous attachment to the Church of England was tempered by moderation ; and his impressive discourses from the Pulpit became doubly beneficial, from the influence of his own example. The Parishioners of St. Paul's, Deptford, erected this Monument as a record _ _ of their affection for their Reverend Pastor, Monitor and Friend, of their gratitude for his services, and of theit unspeakable regret for his loss.

The whole interior of the House has been newly painted, and the boxes decorated with taste and elegance. The front entrance to the Haymarket is to be under a grand portico, supported by Corin thian pillars, on the top of which is to be placed a fine statue of Apollo. The Richmond Theatre closed its season on Mon day last with the Tragedy of Douglas. Miss SYDNET in Lady Randolph, was honoured with loud applause: this young Lady through the whole of the season, has constantly appeared in Tragedy, Comedy, Opera, and Farce, and was deservedly a great favourite. Miss HART, of the Northampton Theatre, had her arm accidentally broken last week, whilst performing Little Pickle, at the moment Old Pickle, in the piece, was dragging her through the stage-door. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.--The Tragedy of Ber tram was performed last night, and was extremely well received by the audience, which was crowded and respectable. Mr. KEAN'S Bertram was distin guished by the same energy which on his first per formance of the character gave it such a decided' success. His manner of pronouncing the benediction on the child was truly awful and impressive, and formed a very striking contrast to the dark and fero cious passions which constitute the leading features of this gloomy personage.—Mrs. WEST sustained the part of Imogine for the first time, and availed herself of the opportunity to exercise her tragic powers. The picture which she drew of despair was remark ably affecting ; and the whole performance was much applauded. When the curtain fell the satisfaction of the audience was so strongly expressed as to en courage a repetition of the Tragedy. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, Nov. 11.—The Wheat trade was heavy this morning, having but few buyers at market; and the supply was tolerably large from Suffolk, the major part of which remained un disposed of. Barley is from Is. to 2s. per quarter lower,_ having a considerable arrival oft hat grain from Suffolk to-day, in addition to a large quantity that was left over from Monday's market. Oats fully support their price; for although the supplies are large, the demand is equally exten.ive. In Peas and Beans there is no alteration. LA•i INTELLtat.vdt. COURT OF CHANCERV, NOVEMBER Id. The Court of Chancery was engaged the whole of this day in the further hearing of the cause which was on the greater part of yesterday; and is of no great public interest. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, NOVEMBER to. WAITHAM O. HILL. This case had been several times before the Court. Sir ARTHUR PIGOOT, for the Executors of the de ceased Mr. Waltham, now applied for an order to enable them to carry the Will of the testator into exe cution. Mr. Waltham had beque.itimi the sum of 5001. per annum to be applied to till establishment of a school on the Lancasterian system, for the edu cation of the children of Catholics and Protestants of every denomination. The school was directed to be built on a spot of ground called the green of Old castle, in the county of Meath, Ireland. This ground was the property of Mr. Napper, the testator's ne phew, who was a minor at the time the Will was made. In a codicil to the Will, the testator farther bequeathed all the property which he might be pos sessed of, and which was not otherwise disposed in his Will, to the establishment of the said school.— The testator had died several years before Mr. Nap per became of age, and the execution of the Will was necessarily suspended, as he, during his mino sky, could not give a legal grant of the ground on which the testator had appointed the school to be erected. It appeared from the report of the Master, that Mr. Napper, who is now of age, was willing :old anxious to do every thing in his power to pro• mote the establishment of the charity ; and that no thing was wanted but the order of the Court. The VICE-CHANCELLOR Wished to know if the nearest of kin disputed the validity of the bequests. Mr. BELL said, his client could not oppose the pre sent application; but at the same time it appeared to him, that the Court could not give a final order on the subject, since it did not appear, from the Master's report, that a regular grant of the property had been obtained from Mr. Napper. He also suggested that the next of kin were entitled to the interest which had accumulated on the legacy since the testator's death. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, that the relations of the testator could have no title to the interest, since in the codicil annexed to the Will all his property was made over to this charity. He was therefore decidedly of opinion that it should go to the founda tion, and not the next of kin. He agreed with Mr. Bell in thinking, that before the Court ordered the cha rity to be carried into execution, it was necessary that a regular grant of the property should be ob tained from Mr. Napper, because the terms of the Will clearly implied that condition. He should there fore order, that the Master appoint Trustees to re ceive from Mr. Napper a grant in fee of a certain spot of ground, such as is specified in the Will of the testator; and that, on the production of such a grant in fee, regularly executed, he proceed to approve of a proper scheme for establishing and maintaining the charity. Costs of all parties to be taxed, as between solicitor and client. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOV. to. PEIItaiRTON O. MILTON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a glass manufacturer, at Sunderland, against the defendant, an engineer, employed by the Commissioners of the Port of Sunderland, to demolish a staith or quay emceed by the plaintiff on the Banks of the River Wear. An Act passed in the 49th of the King, re iating to the port of Sunderland, enables the Corn. misstoners to order the removal of any stones, sand, or rubbish, obstructing the navigation of the River ; this order the defendant had teceived, the Commis sioners considering the quay in question to be an ob struction to the navigation of the River. The Jury thought otherwise, and found a verdict for plaintiff. Mr. Toeettio now moved for a new trial, on the ground that this erection could not be other than a nuisance ; but it appearing from Mr. Justice Bayley's notes of the trial, that the tide only reached the quay io question at high water, and that it did not cause the least obstacle to the current of the tide, the Court seemed satisfied of this, after inspecting a plan of the spot ; and the Rule was refused. LEWIS V. THE EDITOR OF THE OBSERVER. Mr. MABRTAT moved for a Rule to shew cause who judgment should not be entered up in this case, non ()beanie veredicto, a verdict having been found for the defendant on some of the counts of the de claration. The action was brought by the plaintiff, an attorney, against the defendant, for an alleged ma licious statement of what passed in the Insolvent Deb tors court, commencing with the words—" Shameful conduct of an Attorney.' The Court granted a Rule to chew cause. THE KING V. BOWDITCH AND OTHERS. The defendants in this cause, it will be recollected,. were tried at the last Dorchester Assizes, for a con spiracy to abduce Miss Maria Glenn, a young Lady only 16 - years old, from she custody and care of her mother,. and a Mr. Tuckett, wbo had married her aunt, without their knowledge or consent. The defendants, by Mr. SCARLETT, their Counsel, now moved for a nsw trial, on grounds which will presently be stated. The whole number of the de fendants were obliged to appear personally in Court for this purpose, as is always the case in moving for a new trial on indictments for conspiracy. They were ten in number ; James and William Bowditch, Messrs. Paul and Snell, Mrs. Bowditch, mother of James and William, Susan and Jane, her daughters; Mrs. Paul, Mrs. Snell, and Mrs. Mulraine. James Bowditch, the young man to whom Miss Glenn was to have been married, appeared about the age of 22, rather slender, of the middle height, and of a coun tenance not unpleasing. He was dressed in a black coat, yellow kerseymere waistcoat, with metal but. tons, a red under waistcoat, and a spotted neckcloth, smart leather breeches, and jockey boots. In other words, his appearance was that of the class called gentlemen farmers. Chief Justice ABBOTT ordered a seat to be found for the Ladies, in respect to their sex. Mr. SCARLET? then proceeded to state in detail, the facts that came out upon the trial, and the evi dence of Miss Glenn and Mr. Tuckett. The grounds on which he moved for a new trial 'were, first, that the verdict was against evidence ; secondly, that he had affidavits in great number to contradict the evi dence for the Crown, the greater part of which was a surprise on the defendants. The Learned Counsel commented upon the manner in which Miss Glemi give her evidence ; on her cbmpostar, clearness, pre t: ,inn, and OppArent. modesty: all of which had a very reirlarkable efrect upon the Court and all wascr were present: The twain pillar of the prosecution was the evidence of this young Lady; and one pars of the defence set up was, that she had represented herself:to be of age, had every appearance of .being so, and that 'the defendants fully believed her state ment. In answer to her testimony, they produce& three letters (one of Which was admitted to be her hand-writing), and seventeen witnesses ; if the ver dict given'was tight, not only was this one of the foulest and most disgraceful conspiracies that had ever been brought before the public, but seventeen witnesses must all of them have been guilty of per jury. Fifty persons had now come forward to swear to facts, the existence of which contradicted Miss Glenn's statement in the most material points: the remainder of the defence went to shew that the elope meat was assented to by the young Lady, and the match proposed•one of her own seeking. The man i ner in which the young Lady's testimony was given had such an effect upon the whole Court, that the defendants naturally tried to affect her credit; but in this part of the trial two witnesses gave their evidence in such a manner as required some explanation. Miss Glenn had denied the existence of any familiarities between her and James Bowditch. A witness who was called to state that he had seen them together upon a footing of intimacy, having proved the fact, was called on to say whether Miss Glenn, then in the witnesses box, was the person he saw with James Bowditch. He replied, no ! This came like a burst on all present, and had such an effect on the Learned Judge, as indeed it well might, that he summed up strongly against the defendants. It was late, how -1 ever, in the evening when this witness was called, the Court was almost dark, and the witness was evi dently in a state of intoxication. There were now three witnesses who had made affidavits of having seen Miss Glenn with J. Bowditch on the occasion in question. The defendants then proceeded to shew that Miss Glenn was on such terms of intimacy with the family as to have attended a christening, and stood godmother to one of Mrs. Mulraine's children. The clerk who was called to prove her attendance at the christening, on looking Miss Glenn in the face, said, he thought she was not the person. This second denial seemed almost conclusive to all present. But he had fourteen witnesses who had made affidavits of facts the existence of which was utterly incompa tible with Miss Glenn's not having been present at the christening ; and the Clergyman who attended had prepared instructions for an affidavit, but died before it was sworn. The Learned Counsel then read the lent r which was admitted to be in Miss Glenn's hand-writing. It was a letter to a friend, in which, among other things, she stated she was much altered, and ap peared much older than she was; insomuch that her aunt herself had said, if she did not know her to be sixteen, she could not believe her niece to be less than twenty. Of the other two letters, though she had denied them both at the trial, one was addressed to James Bowditch ; and Mr..oxenham, the Attor ney, swore, that when she had called at his office with Mr. Tuckett, she had admitted the whole- of this, except the direction, to be her own hand-writing; and it was remarkable that she herself stated at the trial,.that the letter which she had been forced to write at Mr. Oxenham's, in the presence of Mrs. Bowditch and Mrs. Mulraine, contained instructions to James Bowditch how he was to proceed. It was as follows: " Mr Data James—ln answer to your last letter, I wish you to buy the license, and assure you I was twenty-one the 28th of last August. Remember that I have no independent fortune. Can there then be blame to form this alliance, when leve, not interest, actuates the deed? . 6 Your 's, truly, a September 14, 1517." The day of the supposed interview with Mr. Oxen , lham was the 20th of September, the market-day at Taunton. If this letter was Miss Glenn's hand writing, it shewed that she was as much implicated in this alledged conspiracy as any of the defendants; and that James Bowditch had every reason to believe her twenty-one years old. The Learned Counsel (then read the third letter which Miss Glenn had de inied when at Mr. Oxenham's, with her uncle, as as at the trial. The letter ran thus : " Miss Glenn sends her kindest love to Mrs. Ilfulraine 4 g informs her it will be perfecily out of her power to see fore half-past twelve to-night, as her aunt and uncle will both be with her, if she goes out to walk. She understands Mrs. M. has something to communicate to her; if so, will be obliged to Ni s. M. if .he will write to her on tbe subject. " Sunday morning." These letters had never been submitted to the in spection of the Jury. There were three prilicipal points on which he had supplementary evidence.— He would not say, that out of the 50 new witnesses he was ready to produce, some might not speak to the same tOctt as might have been deposed to by , some of the 17 witnesses who had already been exa mined : but he would say, that by far the greater part of the facts deposed to by these 50 nea , wit nesses, were such as could not have been furnished by any of the 17, and such as the defendants could not have been prepared to produce on the for mer trial. As to the letters, he had the Affidavit of Mr. Kingslade, an Attorney, at Taunton. 'Chief-Justice A IBBOTT.—How could the defendants have been taken by surprise by Miss Glenn's dei.ial of the letters, when she had denied one of them be fore Mr. Oxenham, their own Attorney ? Read your Affidavit ; though it is not clear that it can be ad mitted, unless you shew that the parties were taken by surprise. Mr. SCARLETT said, he was aware of the difficulty, but Miss Glenn had distinctly admitted one of the letters at Mr. Oxenham's, and this had put the de fendants off their guard. Chief-Justice Assorr.—Was she examined as to what passed at Oxenham's? Mr. SCARLZTT.—She was; and denied her admis sion there. The ordinary way of proving hand-wri ting was by calling persons who had seen the party write, and were acquainted with the hand ; but, when the hand-writing is unexpectedly denied, there are cases to -shew that supplementary evidence may be resorted to. Witnesses were called. who were ac quainted with Miss Glenn's hand-writing ; and Mr. Kingslade states in his Affidavit, that Mr. 'fuckett's Solicitor had said, that in case Miss Glenn denied the hand-writing, Mr. Tutkett would examine com petent persons, and if their opinion was against the lady, he %, Quid drop the prosecution.
