w . - . , KING'S THEATRE. The Opera House was opened yesterday eiening for t he inspection of professional persons and friends to the 'establishment, and a candle-light rehearial took place of the Ballet and Divertisement. Compared with its condition last season, the interior of the house is greatly improved. It is entirely regilt and painted, the ground se a.green, relieved with salmon-colour, or whitish pink. New draperies have been added to the boxes, and fresh chandeliers to the third and fourth circles. Thee is a new drop•curtain, more gorgeous than the old one; and the ordinary minor additions have been made both upon the stage and in the audience part of the theatre. PAUL carried away the applause of the evening, as re gards the men. The ladies appeared to the greater ad vantage. A woman, in her ordinary garb, is a graceful object, whether still or in motion; but a gentleman looks very strangely who makes pirouettes in a stiff cr avat. The entertainments on the whole were gone through smoothly, which is quite as much as, at an un dress performance, can be looked for; and so many ad mission tickets had been issued, that the house was well filled in all parts. I'HE ARMY: Detachments - belonging to the 30th (Cambridgeshire), the 46th (South Devon), and the 41st Regiments of Infantry, have received orders to march from Portsmouth on the 30th inst. and to arrive at Chatham on the 6th of February, preparatory to their embarkation for India. The Depot of the 93d (Royal Welch Fusileers) will be removed from Fermoy to the Lie of Wight. Detachments belonging to the 54th (West Norfolk) and the 89th R e giments of Font, have received orders to march on the 29th inst. front the Isle of Wight, and to arrive at Chatham on the 6th of February, preparatory to their embarking on board the William Fairlie lndiaman, fur 3ladras. A detachment belonging to the 13th Light Dragoons has received orders to embark on board the above ship for the same destination.

SHIPOWNERS' MEETING. cerday a Meeting of the Merchants, Ship-owners, and Unde; writers of the city of London was held, put-- slant to public advertisement, for the purpose of taking into consideration the effects of the present mode adopted at Lloyd's of registering ships. The meeting was numerously attended. Mr. Arnow'', M.P. was called to the Chair. He briefly stated the object of the meeting. He declined entering into.the question, which would be fully and clearly opened by others for the discussion of the great ;umber of able and most respectable men by whom be was surrounded. Mr. MARSHALL then rose, and after addressing the meeting at great length, proposed a resolution declara tery of the opinion of the meeting, that the present mode of registering vessels in the two books at Lloyd's "as erroneous and injurious to the merchants and ship owners; that it misled shippers and underwriters ; and tended to prevent the building or repairing of vessels of a superior quality. The resolution was carried at once unanimously. Mr. MITCHELL proposed a motion for the appoint. !um of a Committee, consisting of thirty-six, with power to add to their number, to take into their consi%. deration the best means of obviating the evil which was felt by all. It was important the Committee he 1 1 ( posed should be composed of gentlemen whoie various avocations would qualify them to put the system of registration on a footing, correct in its prim cipies, intelligible in its details, and satisfactory to a 11.... ( Applause.) —It should be put for the consideration of the Committee, to raise a fund for the purpose of carry ing these objects into execution. This resolution was also carried unanimously. Mr. ltuamson said, it was essential that all the great interests concerned in the question should be fully re presented. For this purpose he moved that the Com mittee should consist of eight merchants, eight ship * owners, one resident merchant from each of the ten piincipal registered sea ports in the kingdom, which v ere named, one representative from each of the two chartered Marine Insurance Companies, and the num ber to be made up by gentlemen who were subscribers at 1,1 0) d.,. lr• URQUHART expressed a doubt whether any of the members of Lloyd's would attend.' Air. A taros stated, he had it to say, that the gen tlemen of Lloyd's had not the smallest objection to the appointment of a Committee, and that they would join hand and heart in the inquiry—(Applause). Aker some further discussion, in the course of which sciteral gentlemen in the room, who we understood were members of Lloyd's, expressed their hearty concurrence ►i: the measure, the resolution was carried unanimously. Thanks «•ere voted to Mr. Marshall for the able rna►re r in which he had brought the subject forward. Thanks were also voted to the Chaitman, whe+ meeting separated. THE SHEFFIELD CONCERTS.—On Monday the 12e, and Wednesday the 14th, two delightful Concerts were given to the Public. The Theatre was, on both occasions, but especially the stcond (lay, filled with respectable company.

Courts came in procession to Lincoln's Inn Hall, where they were met by the LORD CHANCELLoR, at eleven o'clock. After the usual ceremony, they de parted to open their respective Courts. The newly elected Law Officers were present. The LORD CHAN CELLOR was occupied in hearing Motions. • SIR GREGORY PAGE TURNER. Very soon after the Loao CJIANCKLLOS was seated, at one o'clock, Mr. Hosts presented a petition, stating a 'variety of matter on be half of Sir Gregory Page Turner, Bart. complaining of the Com mission which , had issued against him, charging him with being a lunatic, and praying that the Commission which had been issued might be superseded; that he might be at liberty, by a Com mittee to be appointed of his estate and person, &c. to go before the Alaater ; and that in the meantime, all proceedings on this Commission be stayed. The Loan CHANCELLOR said there was no chance, according to the affidavits which kad been laid before him, of succeeding in the application to have the commission superseded ; but if he meant to traverse the inquisition, that he was entitled to de jure, and he had no right to deny him that privilege; and therefore, if he would pre sent that short petition on Monday, he would hear it then, and nothing should be done in the meantime. The Sotacyroa-Gessnat. bad another Petition on behalf of the mother and sister of this Gentleman, on the same subject. The LORD Cnercst.Loa ordered that Petition to come on at the same time. COVENT-GARDEN Tll EATE E.•-•-GONST V. DA REIS. His LORDSHIP did not mean to pronounce any final judgment in this case to-day, although he wished fo make some observations upon it. The bill filed was, calling upon the Court to compel the specific perform ance of certain articles entered into in the year 1812; and the motion in. the cause now standing fur judgment was, praying to have 'a manager and receiver of the Theatre appointed, that the profits might be applied ac cording to the terms of that deed of 1812. Of all the persons that could be thought of to manage a Theatre, undoubtedly, the Chancellor of England must be con sidered the most unfit; and he (the Learned Judge) could only say, that in his own mind he felt petlectly satisfied, that the deed set up in defence, dated 1822, as being a deed to which Mr. Const hid acceded, though not by contract yet by conduct, with respect to new ar rangements among the parties, could not stand. When the discussion of the motion was closed, a proposition had been made by Mr. Const to take a rent for his pro portion at the same rate at which Mr. Harris's had been rented, and which was then refused ; but if they knew, as well as the person then addressing them, the ruinous consequences that would mixt certainly be the result of the interference of this Court to all.parties, they would not hesitate to reconsider that refusal. In a word, he could assure them that, if they compelled him to make an order, in less than four-and-twenty hours afterwards they would most sincerely lament it; and that, unless they did settle it between themselves before this day week, if he lived he \vould make a decree. The parties were not to be deceived with the notion that becatise a decree must necessarily be mischievous, that therefore the Court would not make one; the Court had no right to say or to think, that any decree the law of the land called for would be mischievous, still it might more readily occur to the Court than to parties, that in some eases, and particularly in this one, the consequence would be in some respects, most mischievous; and therefore his Lordship earnestly recommended a settlement be tween the parties out of Court. Mr. JAMES thought that Mr. Harris-ought to have been made a party on the record to this motion ; he was willing to come in, and wished to have that opportunity, for he was quite able to make affidavit to prove Mr. Const's accoiescertce to the deed of 1822. His LORDSIIIP observed, that he certainly was most unwilling to act on the stage of a Theatre; but if he was in existence on this day week, he would decide upon the state of the record as it now stood, to the best of his judgment, if matters were not settled before that time. GOURLAY V. THE DIME OF aoscensitr. The defendant obtained time to look at the Judge's notes of the past trials, and also at the plans, with a view to file affidavits in answer to the affidavits that had been filed. The COURT then proceeded with ix-parte Grimstead in the matter of Howard and Gibbs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JANUARY 22. The four Judges sat this day in the chamber adjoin ing the Sessions House, to hear Term questions in arrear. PHILLIPS D. Dl PISTOLS. The question in this case was, whether •the defendant, an Italian jeweller, had become bound to take a pair of brilliant ear-rings knocked down to him at a public sale by the plaintiff for eighty-eight guineas. The defendant had bid only by a nod, and, immediately after the ear rings bad been knocked down, repudiated the contract. He alleged that he had meant four guineas, and that he had believed them to be rubies, but found them to be Athenian garnet. The Jury had found the defendant liable to pay, as having completed the purchase. Mr. SCARLRTT had afterwards obtained a Me to shew cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a nonsuit entered. Mr. GURNEY now shewed cause, and contended, at some length, that the sale and delivery were completed. The defendant was proved to be a thorough judge of jewels. The ear-rings had not been described in the bill of sale as rubies, but as 4 , a pair of superb brilliant ear-rings." The defendant had looked at them pre viously to the biddiog,and had distinctly bid 88 guineas. Mr. COMYN argued at some length, that there was no delivery. The defendant could not speak English ;he spoke Italian only; his French was bad. There was a case of a horse knocked down at a sale, but the bidder refusing to pay a deposit of five pounds, it was decided that there had been no delivery; a deposit had been re quired by the conditions of sale, and the defendant at once refused to pay deposit or accept delivery. Their LORDSHIPS gave their opinions seriatim, and unanimously made the Ride absolute for a nonsuit, but without costs, and with an intimation that there was no evidence to exempt the case from of the Statute of Frauds. PREROGATIVE COURT, JAN. 2?.. Nothing of public interest occurred in this Court to day. The Court was occupied for several hours in hearing a testamentary cause; previous to which, upon a question arising on the form of a responsive plea, the Court ruled, that a party was not to be held, in answer ing to the specific articles of an allegation, to answer =ly to the substantive fact pleaded by any one of such articles, if the other matters to which his answer re -• should be necessary to be stated inorder to explain ,t for the motives of any action charged or r" the allegation. if, however, additiotial facts were unnecessarily brought into a party's answers, but not preyed, the Court would be induced to take them as against the party so propounding them. idwammilk IMO ~, ~r „ . - . • • • ' 4' ' • " • I • ' 1 , . . .•- • . •• • , :- 4 • • • 1 5 1°-/ TA : 1,... r s .1 , . - ~ k r iot. .• ,_:. .... • ......„. . ...pm. 6. !.....:4 . 0. ;.: 1 I - • . . . . . ,'.: • • . • 1 . • .. . . . . - '4 . i? . ..., . . . ~. , . .., .. . . ..„ • ~,---A, ,, , .••?, t WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, JAN. 22. John Etoel, a porter at the Golden-cross, Chafing , - cross, was indicted for obtaining money under false pretences from Elizabeth Mears. It appeared that Lord Alvanley was in the habit of sending up game from Norfolk by the coach to the prosecutrix, for the pur pose of being forwarded by her to his Lordship's friends in town. On the 17th of November, the prisoner took' her three parcels, with a ticket, on which was marked 18s. 2d. which she paid him; on the next day, she paid him £2. Os. td. for four parcels; and on the day after, El. 6s. 4d. for four parcels. Upon aveference, how ever, to the books, it appeared that the soros accounted for at the office for these parcels on the three days re-, spectively abovementioned, were 15s. 6d. El. 14s. Bd. and £1.35.4d. bat it being proved that the book-keeper then in the office had since gone away, and could not be found, it was impossible to say whether the fraud had been practised by him or the prisoner, and there. fore the Jury found a verdict of—Nut Guilty. GAMBLING.—THE KING V. WELSH. Mr. ADOLPHUS stated that the defendant was in-1 dieted under an Act passed in the reign of Queen Anne, but this part rif the charge was given up ; and the pro secutor, Mr. George Tidmarsh, only meant to proceed upon the count foi a common assault committed by the defendant upon him. ' George Tidmarsh swore, that on the 6th of August, 1822, he saw the defendant at the house, No. 33, Pall 'mall. As the witness entered the room, Welsh was betting with Jackson, the croupier, at a roulette-table. Welsh declared a pound upon the red, - wrich Jackson took up and won. Welsh then bet double or quit, and• so on, until be lost £B, when Jackson relined to bet any more with him, until he paid what he had lost; upon which Welsh commenced 44 Bram:lashing" a stick about, and breaking the lamps. The chair was pulled from under Jackson, who was thrown upon the floor, and violently struck upon the head by the defendant and other persons present, Seeing the defendant thus assault Jackson, and hearing him call out " Murder the b—," witness interfered to protect him, and was himself struck by Welsh. Samuel Brown stated, that he was a shoemaker, and was present upon the occasion alluded to. He gave an account of the scuffle similar to that given by the pre ceding witness, whose head bled profusely until a sur geon came and dressed it. It was a most violent outrage. Cross-examined by the defendant.—What vEere you doing in the house at that time?—l was waiter there. Was it not your occupation to hand about liquors to the Gentle. men playing, fur the pOrpose cif intoxicating them ?—I often handed you water : that did not intoxicate you. Did you not hand liquor to the Gentlemen to intoxicate them ? I did hand spirits to such as asked for it. _ _ When did you cease to be a waiter at gambling-houses ?—About four months ago. Thomas Wood was 'present at the scuffle; and saw the defendant busy striking every one near him, but could not say he saw him strike the prosecutor. The defendant said lie had great disadvantages to contend with in making his defence ; having to cope with men of experience and talent, and being prevented by his difficulties from employing Counsel. He had but just come out of prison, where had been confined for debt through' the instigation of those very men who were now prosecuting him ; hut no sooner was he at liberty, than they hadhim arrested upon a warrant for this busi ness ; and he was taken to St. Martin's watch-house on Friday last, where he had remained ever since. The Jury would look to the character and motives of the prosecu tor,—whom he had indicted, with others, for keeping a gaming -house, at No. 1.5, Bury-street, t. James's. Un luckily he indicted him by the name of James, instead of George, and taking advantage of the misnomer, he got off, whilst the others were convicted, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment in Newgate. In conse quence of this, the prosecutor and his associates were leagued together to persecute him in every way they could. They had prosecuted him at Bow-streetfor playing at hazard, and convicted him on three separate indict ments; on each of which he was sentenced to ten days' imprisonment. He had discovered that they had pro cured a false roulette wheel from Paris, which was loaded with magnet ; and he had pledged himself to ex pose and put dawn those infernal sinks of iniquity ; i therefore t was that they bad combined to destroy him. It was true he had frequented those houses, but he had paid dearly for it, He had been the dupe, and not the duper. In consequence of so doing, he had lost a good situation under the Honourable Company (he did not state what Company). He was of a good family, and had respectable friends; but they had shut their hearts against him, in consequence of the ruin he had entailed upon himself by frequenting those houses. These people had boasted that they had.a fund among* them of one hundred thousand pounds for the suppression of com mon informers, as the-Learned Counsel had called him. The Jury would recollect the case of Lieutenant Smith, whohad lodged informations against Oldfield and Bennet. Mr. Smith was actually entrapped by those people into borrowing a horse and gig, which they then charged him with having stolen, and had him tried for his life. The Counsel, however, was so disgusted with the case, that he threw up his brief. Such was the description of men whom he had to defend himself against; and such were the motives by which they were actuated. The Jury would consider well, therefore, whether they would deprive him of his liberty upon the testimony of such men. If he lost his liberty, he would probably lose his life; for he had now no means left of supporting life but by the sweat of his brow. He would prove, that on the occasion in question, he never came in contact with Tidmarsh at all. Tidmarsh, at the time lie was struck, was holding another man by the-throat against the wall ; and he (the defendant) was at the other side of the room. He then called Edward,Stretch, who mole that from all he saw, and to the best of his belief,, the defendant did not strike Tidmarsh. However, he could not say positively that he did not. Mr. PHILLIPS replied, the Learned CHAIRMAN MTh. med up, and the Jury found a verdict Net Guilty. CAUTION.—BEARS G REA SE.—J.

COMMON tOU*IL The LORD MAY Oft held a Court of Commori yesterday, for the general dispatch of public business.l A 'petition from Captain Brown, R.N. in relation to his intention of applying to Parliament for an Act to erect a Suspension Bridge over the Thames from the Parishes of St. Botolph, Aldgate, and St. Katharine's, the Tower, to the Parishes of St. John, llorselydown, and St. Mai y Magdalen, Bermondsey ; ae.d to heal. lowed to erect two Piers on the bed of the river, for the requisite support of the same, was presented, and .re ferred to the Thames Navi ga tion C omm i ttee .

A cross was talked of, which prevented many from going; and the few who were present consisted of about two hundred raga prouffins of all sorts, including pickpockets, a select num?r of the fighting men, aloouta do2en Gentlemen, and the persons inte rested in the fight, or who came down, as we heard said; to see ILO the thing tens performed. At Hampton town, " Where the Red Lion, staring o'cr the way, " Invites each passing stranger who can pay;' - there was no passing stranger to take advantage of the obliging MA vitation, and the Red 1,108 bore his hlushiag honours unattended, Well might he blush for the decline of the fighting ring, and the absence of all those sporting characters who have heretotOie mane bled under his ensigns, or who are understood to compose that great community, the Fancy. Of all the Fancy, Moulsey saw yesterday but the dog breeders; badger hailers, and livers on gin, and when the stakes were pitched; and, the ropes hung, and the empty carts ranged for the outer ring; the men of the olden time looked upon the place as a scene of desoa don, compared with what Moulsey had been. The day was in every respect unfavourahle'—a heavy rain poured down for the greater part, and it only shews what people will go through to in dulgek'a favourite pursuit. A good fight was expected, and that kept up the circulation, and the kind courtesies of " A glass of gin here' s . —" Rpm or brandy here"—" Spiced bread and hrandy-balls"—a repeated on every side, were good hints for Infallibly keeping up the warmth of the blood. The ring was farmed on a new site, immediately near Garrick's villa, and as the Ring and the Stage have been once the same, and as Langan wishes to meet Spring on the stage, and thus unite them again, it was no bad notion to lay the scene (With a tragedy carpet ready set), under the mansion of the Roscius. At twenty minutes after one, the men entered the ring, and, on stripping, the advantage was manifestly in favour of Stockman ; both as to condition and weight. Jack Randall and Josh Hudson seconded Cavanagh, and Crouch, whom report has probably tuts named a " resurrection man," and Ca I,s, a sort of ea to the ring, waited on Stockman. At lialf.pastone the battle commenced. ROUND 1. Some neat stops (fOr the science of both men is good.) Stockman cautious. Cavanagh, anxicus to get to work, made a body blow, but was met with a flush hit in his mouth, which loOsened his grinders, and drew the cork from his smelling bottle. &oekman now closed , and threw him a complete summerset. 2. Sparring for some seconds. Cavanagh anxious to go in, but could find no opening. Mutual stops. Stockman received a- slight tap on the cheek ; the distance was not well measured. Stockman got away from some well-intentioned compliments, and; on Caw nagh again coming in, closed and threw him instantly. 3. Stockman received on the ribs, but gave counter-hits oil.Ce• vanagh's eye, which became puffed in consequence. Stocknian again got away with the agility of a dancing-master, and in a close threw Cavanagh a terrific fall. 4. Stockman received a chopper on his chin ; a merry rally fut. lowed, stop for stop. Sparring for some time, Stockman evidently waiting the attack, and careful of his own person. In a close, Ca. - vanagh was thrown. 5. Cavanagh hit Stockman slightly, and Randall patted his back. Stickman laughed, and in a twinkling paid another unwelcome . visit to Cavanagh's nutcrackers, and the claret Bowed freely. In a rally sad clbse Cavanagh again thrown. 6. Science on both sides, and good stops. Cavanagh received on his other eye, and in a close was thrown. He was now weak, and his legs tottered from the violence of hi's Ills. In the 17th round of the fight, when aithour had just elapsed, Stockman, it a close, was slightly fibbed and then thrown, with Cavanagh upon him. It seems he got the time, for when he was brought on his second's knee be pretended to chop his head, as if dead beat, and gave in. After a few minutes of very bad acting, he was taken outside the ring, from whence he walked to the river, and crossed to Hampton, as sound as when he came the same pads in this morning. ltaataats.—So barefaced a piece of business as this has never been witnesed. The impression throughout the ring was the same, and there was not a person present who did not exclaim against it as a rank cross, and a downright robbery. It was a bungling busi ness, and so palpable, as the fellow had not the heart to let himself be hit or have blood drawn, to make even a semblance of punish ment, but he kept the odds rising upon him, even when be went dower in the last round. It was so barefaced, that we know that Fatties who took the odds refused tb receive. It came out that this bit of honesty was suseected, and Sptiug, whose conduct is a credit to the ring, and who is anxious to support irj propriety, went to Stockman before the fight, and told hint that it was said he Intended to make a cross, but he recommended hint to act honourably, and :-.ot mind the bad people he was connected with, as he might be assured, if he crossed it, he shooed never be allowed to appear in the ring'again. Stockman replied—" Ile siiauld du as lee knotted." A second fight tuok place between 11 - 9 ones and Mackenzie, which ended, after an hour and a quarter, in favour of Wynne.. It was a bad fight, and not worth notice. Viscount ALTHORP has left his seat, Wiseton Hall, Yorkbhirt., for Learuirgton, Warwick,hire.
