This Theatre opened last night, for its short sea son, with a very good specimen of the quality of the 'entertainment its present management is able to offer, to the public. The Poor Gentleman, Blue Devils, and A Day after the Wedding, were the Pieces represen ted, and all went off very pleasantly. TERRY, Jonas, TOKELY Mrs. GIBBS, Mrs. DAVENPORT , and (*her established favourites of the town, were re ceived on their entrance with the u sual kind and cor dial greetings from the audience, and amply justified that good will by the spirit and ability with which their several characters were performed. The part of Emily Worthington yas sustained by Miss E. BLANCHARD, the daughter of the celebrated actor of that name, and her second appearance on any stage —a young Lady whobids fair to become an orna ment to her profession: to whatever limit future ex pectation may be restricted, her success on this occa sion was quite unequivocal—an agreeable person. mild gentle manners, with extreme attention to, and just conception of her part, even in the by-play, left wahlng to be wished for. Her reception was ex tremely flattering. A Mr. J. RUSSELL, from the Edinburgh Theatre, made his first essay on a Lon don stage as 011apod. The abilities of this performer certainly place him above mediocrity, but he suffers in this attempt by contrast with his predecessors, who have usually rendered the part much more piquantc; exhibited, however, in more than one scene, a touch of the natural and just in acting. As a singer, he has more voice and less humour than usually be. hng to performers of this class. Lieutenant Wor t4ingfog was admirably sustained by Mr. FOOTE. The Theatre was very cool and pleasant and well attended. LAW li T TELLMENCE. ,-- COURT DV CHANCERY. JULY 15. ' FINAL DEVON OF LORD STEWART'S CASE. The Lona. raxem.Lort came to Lincoln's Inn Hall at ten o'cloCk, and was for some time occupied in his private room. He took his neat at half-past ten. The Court was much crowded, in expectation of the final result, it being generally understood that Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY, as Counsel for Mrs. Taylor, the guardian of Lady Vane Tempest, would this morning intimate whether Mrs. Taylor intended to appeal, or not, to the House of Lords. Sir Samuel happened, however, at this moment to be engaged in a case before the Vice-Chancellor ; but Sir Arthur Pigot, one of Lord Stewart's Counsel, was present, with Messrs. Hart and Home, also engaged in the case. Sir Anruun PIGOT then said, that he had con suited with the Counsel or. the other side, and under ' stood from them, that it was the fixed determination 'of Mrs. Taylor, the aunt of the young Lady, and one of her guardians, to appeal from his Lordihip's deci sion to the House of Lords. From the circumstances of the ease, it was particularly desirable that the ap peal should be heard as quickly as possible ; but it could not in any war proceed, till his Lordship had formally made out the order. The Lone CIIANCILLOI4.---YOU may, therefore, take the order that the Master's report, finding that, this is not an improper marriage, is by me con firmed ; at,the same time let the entry of appeal be inserted. lam of opinion that the marriage must be restrained, under the present circumstances, till the decision of the House of Lords be knoym. With re spect to the other restraints, they had as well be put an end to, as I don't see any reasonable cause for their being continued. Sir ARTHUR Ploor.--I should suppose, my Lord, that the Master may, in the mean time, nevertheless proceed with making out the proposals of settlement. The LORD CIIANCELLOIL—CertainIy. I can see nothing to prevent him going on with that; but let it be understood that he does so without prejudice. Sir Samuel. ROMILLY at this moment came into Court, and addressing his Lordship, said, " I am, my Lord, desired by Mrs. Taylor to inform your Lordship most respectfully, that it is her intention forthwith to appeal to the House of Lords, from the decision now given by your Lordship." The LORD CiraNcEsa.on.--I was just informed of this, Sir Samuel, before you came into Court, by Sir A. l'igot. I am particularly glad that you have adopted this course, because, in a cafc so painful to me in every point of view as this has been, I shall have the heartfelt satisfaction of being' set right by , the House of Lords if lam wropg. - Painful as the consideration of this case has been to my own mind, • I am happy to think that a superior tribunal will have it in their power to review my judgment, and that any error or inadvertency I have been guilty of will be there redressed. I have just stated to Sir Arthur Pigot what. should be done, and I do really think I am in justice bound to restrain the marriage in the mesa time. This is the best thing I can pos. sails; do for the parties. Take the order as I have mentioned it. and let it be drawn up forthwith. EX-PARTE CROWLEY, A BANKRUPT. Tile bankrupt was again brought up this mornium. but was re:nand:A, as the LORD CDANCLLLOR had not obtained the result of the searches which the. Master was ordered to make. He expected them at one o'clock, but they not harirz, beer. sent in then, the termination of the matter was deferred till to morrow. MARRIAGE SET I'LLMENT..--KENNEVY AKI) OTHERS ti THE EARL OF CA3SILIS AND OTHERS. This was an application to dissolve an injuretion., The facts connected with it were as follow :—Lord Kennedy, the eldest son of the Earl of Cassihs, paid • his addresses towards the latter end of the year 1813, to Miss Ellen Allardice, a young Lady, at that time seventeen years of age, residing in Aberdeen, and heiress to a very consider r' 1e property—C3o,ooo in Bank stock, and landed estates in Scotland to the amount of between £3007 and £lOOO a-year. Lord Kennedy was cheer, nineteen years of age; and his ad dress's-es haSing been encouraged by the young Lady, as well as her mot';er, with whom she lived, he commanicated his wishes on the subject to his father, who resided in Lon don. The mother lost no time. in informing Mr. Lilies, use of her daughter's guar dians, and he in consequence came to London,', for the purpose of maltitg with the Earl of Cic-. silis the proper arrangements previous to the marH riage. The Earl of Casilis constantly professed that rnonc; was no object either with himself or, his son. it happened, however, that there were, many difficulties in the way of a final settlement.— Various sets of propositions were made by Lotd Cas none of which were agreed to by Mr. Innies. TN. !Ist .;et of propositions made by the Earl of Cas- 1 silis declared that Miss Allardice should have £lOOO l a ',ear daritsg the marriage to her sole ar.d separate use ; that, 7I she should survive Lord Kennedy, this annual sum should be increased; that her mother's' ;Mrs. Allardice's) jointure should be increased from 4'UO3 a year, which it then was, to 121000 a vests and that the house in Aberdeen should also be set s , tied upon her. It was propo'ed that £l5OO of the. Bank stock should be applied to purchase la n d s , i n order to produce the £lOOO a year for the sole and. separate tide of Miss Allardice; ar.d that the remain :der of the real and personal propsrtv should he set , tled on the issue of this marriage. 11 hide these pro- Lpositions were under the consideration of Mr. Zanies, Lord Kennedy was in Aberdeen. I: was now about the end of April. 1814. lie was anxious to hasten his marriage with Miss Allardice: he told her of the propositions which had been made: he himself be lieved that all the necessary deeds were in prepara-, tion, and, as the lady was perfectly satisfied with the propositicns, the was prevailed np.on to marry Lord Kennedy, and accordingly the marriage was solem-' nized on the Ist of-114y. Some time after this, a marriage-settlement Was made, which varied very considerably from the propositions, particularly with regard to the £lOOO a year to Lady Kennedy's sole and separate use. For this was substituted £lOOO a year after the death of Lord Kennedy, or in case any misfortune should cause a :separation. These were the facts, according to the statement of Mr, Innies. Since the marriage of Lord and Lady Ken nedy, as soon as the latter attained the atie of 21, an action was commenced by Lord Cassilis mutt Court of ; Session in Scotland, .the object of which was, in the firs place, to obtain a conveyance Irons Mr. In nies of the £lO.OOO in stock which stood in the Bank of England in his name ; and in the next pLece, to compel Mr. Innies, who was all along the active guardian, to give in an account of his mar s rent of the property during the minority of the I. As , soon as these proceedings were commenceds Mr. In nies applied to the Court of Chancery for an injunc tion to restrain them, which injunction was granted, upon an es parte heating, six months ago. It was to dissolve this injunction that the present applica tion was made. • The application was supported chiefly on the ground that it was not competent to the Court of Chancery here to restrain proceedings in the Court of Session in Scotland. The Court of Session was itself 'a Court of Equity : it was independent of the jurisdic tion of any other Court save that of the House of Lords. If the Court of Chancery could issue an in junction to restrain proceedings in the Court of Ses sion, the Court of Session would have an equal right of issuing an interdict to inhibit proceedings in the Court of Chancery. Such an interposition was ex-. pressly in violation too of the Act of Union. The application was resisted on the ground that the Court possessed the jurisdittion, because the Bank stock was in England. The parties who made the contract, so far as it was made, were, with the ex ception of Mr. Innies, domicile subjects of England, and the matter was negotiated in England. The Court of Session in Scotland could not make any order by which the Bank of England would be af fected; and therefore that Court was not competent to take cognizance of the matter. • The merits of the case were then gone into, in order to support the in junction. Doubts were suggested as to the terms of Lord Cassilies final proposition ; and it was there fore hoped, that, if the Court should dissolve the injunction, it would at least direct an inquiry to Le made to ascertain what were really the terms of the %final propositions. It Was re-urged, on the adverse side, that the in • junction was originally obtained in order to protect Innies from giving in his accounts. l'he LORD CHANCELLOR was of opinion, that no principle was furnished against the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery, because the property in question could be affected by its order alone. It was in its national character English property. The defendants to the present bill were also English domicile sub jects. It was the object of the suit in Scotland to compel Innies to give.in his accounts, and to convey to Lord Kennedy the Bank stock. The injunction was obtained on the part of the children -of Lady nennedv. No injury could be done to the children by the Scotch suit; as the Court of Session, while it might compel Innies to give in his accounts could not make any order which the Bank of England would be ob;iged to obey. The other trustees of the property were not, it appeared, made parties to the suit in Scotland ; but even if Innies and they consen ted to convey the stock, still, on the part of the chil dren, it was competent to the Court of Chancery to enjoin the Bank of England not to trinsfer the stock in question. Although the Act of Union ought cer t-ainly to he considered as sacred, yet cases might arise in wilich it would he impos.,ible for the Cour: of Session to proceed with effect, if it were rot aided by the Court of Chancery here, anti rice versa. His Lord 'sip concluded with ordering the injunction to be dissolved without regard to the merits of the case, arid he desired the order not to be understood as giv :ng. any encouragement whatever to the othertrustees to join in making a conveyance of the Bank stock. Monday the Magistrates of Surrey assembled at the Sesons•house, to receive the Reports from the Churchwardens and Overseers of the several parishes in the district, respecting the conduct cf licensed vic ttiallers, and of public officers, in the extensive dlvi sion of the East Half Hundred of Brixton, in which are upwards of 800 public hpuses only one house was reported as improperly conducted ; and in the in stance alluded to, the subject of complaint arose more from error than an intentional violation of the laws. It was stated, that at the Wheat Sheaf at Lambeth, a number of gentlemen's servants assembled every Sun day morning during Divine Service, and continued there till the time arrived of their attending their masters and mistresses home from church. On the landlord being called upon to explain his conduct, he stated, that from time immemorial it had been the custom for the servants of those persons who came to church in carriages to drive to his house, after setting their company down, and there await the termination of the service. lie bad never before, been informed that he was acting improperly in entertaining them, nor had his predecessor ever been called to account for sin filar conduct. The Chairman, l'LonENcx Youxo, Esq. said, that he did not approve of the practice, but lie conceived that if any blame existed, is ettached to the masters who allowed their servants to be if: attendance when they ought to he at church ! The further consideration of the subject . was postponed to a future day. Yesterday afternoon, as Mr. WAR; the architect, 'accompanied by Mr. DUDLEY, steward or overseer to Lord (.4r,ORIJE CAVENDISH, Mr. SEABROOK, the mas ter carpenter, and Mr. KINO, the foreman, and three plasterers, were on a lofty scaffold, in the interior of Burlington House, examining the cornices, stucco, plastering round the skylights, &c. when, from the great weight on the scaffold - , one of the putlogs snap lped in two, and all were precipitated to the bottom, a 'height of two stories. Mr, WARE received a severe contusion on the back of his head, and bruises on various parts of his body. Mr. SEABROOK and Mr. Kivo also received some sever' e bruises ; but Mr. DUDLRY had his left leg broke in two, close to the i lknee, and before he could be extricated from his pe 11rilous situatkon, a heavy plank fell o n the b r oken leg, land shattered it to pieces. He was carried to his apartment in Burlington House, and surgical aid sent fer, when it was found necessary to amputate the leg above the knee, which he bore with great fortitude.— The other three received each more or less injury, but rare of any consequence. The first stone of a new County Jail, for Wiltshire was laid, with much ceremony, on Thursday last after which an appropriate address was delivered, ex planatory of the. view and wishes of the Magistrates in the execution of the building, which,.it was stated,' was intended for a'pxopei classification of the priso revs, rather to prevent than to punish crime, and care fully to faroid the dangerous association oeyoung of fenders with the more hardened. The cst.iniatc to cqpiplote the buildinx, is C 84,000. PRINCE ESTERMAZY'S DINNER PARTY.
