A numerous and elegant assemblage of fashion and beauty was collected yesterday, at the King's Theatre, in the Haymarket, to witness the annual distribution of the prizes v,h,ch had been adjudged by the Society fos the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Com merce, to the several candidates who had, in the course of the past year, distinguished themselves by their profi ciency or skill in the objects ennb. aced by the Society. Before twelve o'clock the spacious Theatre was crowded, addi tional accommodation having been afforded by the erection of a temporary platform over the orchestra and stage—the whole pre liming a most splendid and animating coup d'orit. At half pest twelve, the art ival of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, the President of the Society, was announced; the band of the 3d Regiment of Guards greeting him on his entrance with the performance of God save the King.--Having taken the Chair, he very shortly addressed the Meeting, observing, that as there was a great deal to be done, the Secretary had better at once commence the reading of the Report. Mr. Atria then read the Report, which detailed the proceedings of the Society during the preceding year, and also gave a history of the origin of the Society, under the superintendence of Sir Joshua Reynolds, and of the progressive improvements that had been made in it since its establishment, together with the advantages that it had been the means of conferring on the several branches of science. The Report having been concluded, the disbursement of the prizes took place, the Illustriowchairman con descendingly accompanying the presentations with ob servations suited to the merits of the ♦arious candidates. The whole of the prizes baying bees awarded, The Duke of Susan congratulated the Society on the i. tei est which its proceedings excited, as was abuts dandy shewn by the attendance of so brilliant an assembly on the present occasion. His Royal High- Leas observed, that the labours of the Society might in some degree be estimated, when he stated that it had expended upwards of 100,0004 in communicating to the public such inventions, discoveries, and improve ments as tended t• the promotion of the arts, manu factures, and commerce of the kingdom. In the name of himself, and of the Society, he thanked the kleeting for the attention with which it had that day visored its proceedings—(Applause). The company then separated. Iku..—The first printed article of a new Burial So ciety rues tkus ‘Vhereas many persons find it diffi cult to biry themselves," &c. VAUXHALL GARDENS. This beautiful place of summer recreation opened last ev. ning for tlee Season. The weather WAS inauspicion^ yet the Public found a warm and comfortatble reception. The inconvenience of dripping walks was avoided, as the spacious arrange. ments made in the Rotunda afforded ample accommo dation for the •isitants. The Rotunda, converted into a Concert Room, forms a new and interesting object in three Gardens. A superb chandelier, richly gilt, is suspended from the centre. The whole of the area is thrown into a Pit, furnished with seats. The space, including a spacious Gallery, and thirty Private Bores fitted up with great taste, is calculated to hold about 2000 spectators. The Orchestra forms a fine object in the general Ann. The Long Roma:, adjoining the Rotunda, has undergone a most judicious alteration. It is finely painted with panoramic views of Florence, Turin, Naples, the Falls of Tivoli, and the Bridge of Grodno ; the whole painted with great effect by Mr. THORN. It was thrown open as a promenade, and possessed great merit. One of the Boxes has been fitted up for his Royal Highness the Mkt: of YOAIC. We understand his Royal Highness has engaged it for the season. . _ _ The first act of the Concert commenced with the per.-• formance of GOD save Great Grates our King. Mr. BRAHAM, Mr. SINCLAIR, Madame IfE.SCRIS, and Mad. CORNEGA, were the principal vocal performers. Oor loyal and national anthem was never heard with more pleasure— the conclusion was deservedly and rapturously_ applauded. BRAIIAM'S Death of Nelson was one of those able efforts which gain for that distinguished master of melody the 'oldest plaudits. He was heard to observe, that the Conceit Room was admirably formed for sound. Madame Vasrats sang In Infancy with peculiar taste and effect, and pas loudly applauded. BRAMAN', S'g'ller DE I3EGNIS, and Madame- VESTRIS, performed a Trio from .11 Barhiere de Seviolia, in happiest style. The Baud was conducted by Mr.ltoorce. in the absence of SPAGNOLETTI. Mr. 131sticip presid , :d with his usual ability. In short, the whole of the mu sical department afforded a rich treat to the 1.-vers of harmony. A new Ballet, called L'lntrigue du Village, followed the first act of the Concert ; Mad •mo;selle PAULINE ROSSIGNOL was the principal performer. This Lady, who is from the Theatre Amsterdam, rave pro. mice of becoming a great 'favourite. M. B. YES rats. from the Theatres Royal San Carlos at Naples, and L:1 Scala at Milan, also made his first appearance in this country. He. was well received. The scenery of this . . ivertissenient is laid it Switzeiland. his full of bustle and incident, and cannot fail to amuse t!se juveni'e visitors. The who!e went off w•ithfreet eclat. The second act of the Concert was distinguished by the beautiful tones and style of Miss STEPHENS. The old favourite, CHAS. TAYLOR, was received with the usual friendly greetings. Miss STEPHENS sang Bid me discourse; with the most enchanting sweetness. Madame VESTRIS and Miss STEPHENS performed As it fell upon a Day, in a most able manner; they were loudly ap plauded. The whole of the second act went off with the admiration which marked the first, and the com pany were highly delighted. The Gardens were illuminated with the usual display of varie gated lamps, but in coti,equence of the unfavourable ,fate of the weather, the walks were almost deserted for the charms of the lyre. The object of the Proprietors is to provide a rich musical treat for the public, and in that view they have not failed. The company were fashionable, and the merry parties enjoyed the " gayly circling glass" until the hour of repose. Advice: from Malta to the 20th of April, by the packet, state that the Board of Health of the Lland has I resolved that men of war shall in future ride out in the quarantine harbour the whole period of quarantine esta-i blished against the place from which they may come,l not deducting, as heretofore, the days of the voyage, It is considered by the Board that the observance of these conditions will lead to no public inconvenience not fully compensated by the advantages', which will result to the trade of Malta ; for it is supposed that this resolution of the Malta Board of Health will obviate the objections upon which the principal Mediterranean IStates have heretofore declined to admit into their ports vessels from Malta, on the .atne terms to on which ad mission is granted to vessels coming from their re spective ports. The Board has also established quaran tine against Gibraltar, Spain, the West Indies, and the Continent of America, the period of which will be re• gulatedby circumstances.

The numbers present might amount to betwnen 250 and 300. A band of music was stationed in the orchestra over the entrance door, and opposite to it a considerable number of Ladies made their appearance after the cloth had been remov ed. The dinner was excellent, the wines particularly good, arid the whole arrangement admirable. Several Pro:essional Gent:emen were present, who followed up the various toasts which were given is the course of the evening with appropriate songs. DORCHESTER, MAY 28.—A melancholy event oc cu:red yesterday, which has created a strong sensation, and excited a general feeling of sympathy and regret. As KEITH FRASER, Esq. of the 6th Enniskillen lira goons (brother of Sir Wm. FRASER, Bart. and of Major FRASER, 7,h Hussars), accompanied by Lieutenant Colonel KEENS and Captain PORTMAN, of the same Re giment, was riding on the Downs, at B:ncombe, near this town, his horse, a valuable, although a vicious animal, ran off at full speed, and reaching the summit of a high hill, which on the other side was nearly per pendicular, plunged forwa-d, when both were precipi tated to the bottom, a height of nearly 200 feet. On the arrival of Colonel KERNS acd Captain PORTMAN at the spot, they found the unfortunate young Gentle man lying in a senseless state. Medical assistance being procured at promptly as possible, Mr. Fitassn was conveyed on a litter t 4 the Barracks. He lingered in a state of utter insensibility till two o'clock this morning, when be expired. By the fall the horse's back was broken, and he was of necessity kilied on the ground.— Mr. FRASSR was in his 22d year, and had only in the course of the morning received a notification of his promotion to a Lieutenantcy. He was a schoolfellow and friend of Ldrd A. PAGET, of the 7th Hussars, whose death we announced a short time back, under somewhat similar circumstances. In the Life of Nlqjor Cartwright, by his Niece, just published, will be found a very interesting selection from the cor respondence between the venerable Patriot and the following ALAS tinguished characters,, viz. the Earl of Abingdon, Right Hon. H. &Winston, Sir Francis Burdett, Karl of Effingham, Right Hon. C.. 1. Fos, Sir Philip Francis, Lord Holland. Dr. Jebb, President Jefferson, Sir W. Jones, Mr. Nortlinsore, Dr. Parr, Duke of Portland, Dr. I'rice, Duke of Richmond, Don Miguel del Riego, Sir S. Hominy, Lord John Ruuell, Granville Sharpe, Earl Stan hope, Lord Stanley, Marquis if Tavistock, Alderman Wood, Sir Cecil Wray, Admiral Sir William Young, Ste. &c. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. -.. 0W... A new Musical Romance, called The Kiikhts of the Cross, or the Hermit's Propheed,was produced last night. —This is anoth:r dramatic compilation from the Scb!. tish Novels. It is entirely founded upon The Tallman or rather it consists of a succession of scenes, dialogues and all, transferred from it, with occasional short pas sages, introduced by way of connecting link.. Of a drama, composed of materials Already familiar, there is little to be said. It opens with the keeting of Sir Kenneth and &slain, disgui.ed as an Emir, in the cave of the Hermit.—The incidents are, of course, the saving of the life of Richard, by Salad in , as a Physi cian ; the pulling down of theibanner of England, by Montserrat, in the absence of Sir Kenneth, who is eiuced from his post by his love for tdith ; the seizing of Mont serrat by the dog; the condemnation of Sir Kenneth to' death, and the commutation of death to banishment; his return in the disguise of a dumb Nubian slave; his pre servation of Itichard from assassination; the exposure of Montserrat in the procession, by the attack of the dog on him ; the combat between Montserrat and Sir Kenneth; and the union of Edith and Sir Kenneth. The diAlogue is rather elegant than forcible, and the plot rather pleas' ing thin powerful. The piece is well played. WAG.- LACK'S conception of Richard is good, and execution remarkably felicitous. He displays vigour, grace, and disci iminat:on. Miss STEPHMNS, Mrs. Wrsr, aid BEN. NETT, make the rri , st of their res d ective paris. _Th- -musk, by BtsmoP, is, for the m"•st part, if not enti•eiy, selacted. It is well enough adapted to the situatioos and purposes of the performance. The scenery %sell painted and effective—the dresses are shewy. We had almost passed over without notice the m-rite of a principal actor, in the person of a Newfoundland dog. lie was rabber disorderly in the b-ginning, but, in the subsequent scenes, he exhibited equal judgment and animation. Oa the whole, lhe knights of the Gross is a good melo-:game, and will he repeated with advan tag,.. It was announced by WALLACK for Wednebday night, amidst applause. SOCIETY FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF VICE The General Meeting of the members of this Society was held yesterday at the Society's Chambers, No. 61, Lincoln's-inn-fields ; the lion. PHILIP Pussy President, in the Chair. , _ _ _ After the usual routine of the business of the day, the report of the Society's proceedings during the last year rwas read by the Secretary. Aftet announcing the pre sent to be the 24th Anniversary of the Society, it pro- ceeded to state that it continued to be very generally the centre of communication from individuals both in the metropolis and throughout the kingdom, for the re formation of those offences of which it took cognizance, and that many evils in the deepest degree suhver sive of public morals would have been without a remedy but for the existence of this Institution. It then entered upon the particulars of the Society's proceedings, under . the different heads of its plan; from which it ap pealed that its weekly proceedings for preventing the profanation of the Sabbath had produced considerable improvement in xn 4ny of the eastern and western dis tric sof the metropolis. The report then detailed the particulars of what, had been effected during the past year with reference to the trade in licentious and obscene publications, from which trappeared, that it had been greatly kept in check by means of four prosecutions against individuals, who had been' active in carrying on this abominable traac, two of whom had been engaged most extensisooly Waugh mail coachmen and guards, by whom malty parts of thelingdom bad been abun• dant!) , supplied with these deleterious productions. w REPORT. COURT PLEAS, 3I.►T 29. ';.* 1/ MU a. ROBINS. This was an action brought by a Lady, who had, through her agent, become the purchaser of part of a large estate, called Pipers, near Harlow, in Essex ; the pierchase.maney legs' 1,90:'1. and a deposit of 100/, was paid ; the sale thibic "place on the 17th June, 1824. The , defendant was Mr. Robins, orßegent stree... Mr. Serjeant 'NOWT (Mr. COMYNS with him) stated the case. An*abstract of the title had been' delivered to the solicitors of the plaintiff, which, being laid before a conveyancer, several material objections to the title were made; hut one was (rite sufficient,—namely, that there was a rent charge of 3s. 4d. per' annum, which would be found to be fatal. The abstract of the title had beers returned to the solicitors of tile defendant in January, 1825, and from that time to this nothing would they do, and nothing could they be made to do; they %Vete, theref-re, driven to bring the present action for the de posit money, the interest, and expenses that they had been put to. The estate was bought certainly in the name of Brown, but with the plaiitirs money, .who had been subsequently declared the purchaser. Mr. Serjeant WILDE submitted that Mr. Brown could not be called as a witness; he was the purchaser; he signed the agreement ; and the rect.int was given in his name. His clients were prepared to give a good title, and there was no del iy*that justified an abandonment. Mr. Serjeant TADDY..—At this period this could not be heard of. They had knocked, but they answered not; and now, at the last day,when their lamps were burnt out, the defendant comes and says we are ready. Mr. Brown was then examined, and prove I that he purchased the estate, but with the plaintiff's money ; that he was to re-purchase thu estate if he had the means. The estate had belonged to his family, and he had an-interest therein. He had never had any conver sation with the plaintiff respecting a mortgage. Mr. Setjeant WILDE and Mr. CHITTY, for the. de fendant, contended that Mr. Brown all along knew the cause of delay ; that he knew they Could not complete their title .until some other parts of the property were sold, and other purchases were completed, to enable the trustees wha sold the property to pay tke incurnbrai . .ce . , one of which was that objected to by the plaintiff's counsel. In support of their argument a note to a ewe in I Campbell's Nisi Prius,34o,the " Duke of Norfolk v. Worthy," was cited, but it appeared that these were two versions of the Lime case, in one of which it was said that the agent only could recover, and in the other that the principal could recover ; and it turned out that the Doke of Norfolk, whose agent had acted for him, did recover. The attorney for the defendant was called, who believed that the clerk of the plaintiff's attorney had several times attended to examine further evidence of the title, and that they were aware that they could pot complete until other purchases were completed, and furthor, that he thought they c mild soon complete. The Loan Cuter Jurrica.—l do not think that the plaintiff is bound to wait. Verdict for the plaintiff—damages an 00. The la , e Governor of New Soon - Wales, Sir T. Baissaxs, is arrived at bri a iroid,-in the Maty, bound to the (Iy4e Letters from Sydney, of the 17th of December, state the arrival of the new Governor, General Diatum.
