The entertainments of last night were given in honour of his MAJESTY'S Coronation. Their splendour was well worthy the occasion; 15,000 additional lamps wqre added to the stook lights of the gardens, and the at tractions of the evening exceeded, in interest and va riety, all the entertainments we ever witnessed in one night at this delightful place of amusement. Mr. Coots's noble troop of equestrians went through seve ral curious and diffieult evolutions with admirable pre cision, and actually danced a set of country dance , , at full gallop, without committing a single error in the figure. M. DI•PaNT displayed his agility, by riding six horses, mans pede in uno, and driving six more be- fore him. Signor SPELTIMINI achieved several feats of Herculean strength and equilibrium, and Mr. BLACK.. MORE flung his body about on the slack rope with the most surprising intrepidity. The pantomime of Darby and Joan, aided by the ac tivity and humour of Mademoiselle Romans, and the pantomimic family of the R/DOEWAYS, kept the easy audience in roars of laughter, from the rise of the cur tain to its fall. The Battle of Waterloo was fought over again, with uncommon spirit and bustle, and all the semblance of a pitched battle—the tramp of horses, clang of swords, explosion of gunpowder, the shock of - encounter, charge of cavalry, and shouts of victory. Napoleon,' the Duke of Wellington, and the Marquis of Anglesey, played their illustrious parts in the deadly-seeming affray, with all their characteristic bravery and talent. The battle was succeeded by a most magnificent display of ' fire-works, consisting of bodies of Same of every maginable colour and combination. The vocal con cert in the open orchestra followed, and the sum total of amusement was completed by the new musical farce of Pay to ray Order, in which Mr. HORN, Miss GRADDON. and Mr. and MIS. FITZWILLIAII delighted the company with several sweet songs and some excel. lent acting. Tim Gardens were lighted with extraordinary splen dour—the sides of the quadrangle were adorned with armorial devices and national emblems, in coloured lamps—the end shone with a yellow transparency of " our Patron's Coronation"—the King's walk was topped with illuminated triumphal arches, and terminated with a very creditable transparency likeness of his MAJESTY —the Hermit's walk shone with brilliant refulgence for the first time this season; the dark green of the tree leaves was relieved by pendant clusters of ruby-coloured lamps—the covered walks seemed so many horizontal surfaces of light--and the orchestra blazed with golden flame. The company was the most numerous and respectable that has atteaded this season—among them were— Lord Musgrave, the Dutch and Ftvach Ambassad'ors (Baron Pagel and the Prince Poligoac), the Hon. Colonel Brown, Countess de Sails, General Miles, Lady Mildmey, Sir H. Torrent, Lord Gower, Major Smith, and Sir Thomas Paul. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Gentleman continues to occupy the undivided attention of the in habitants of this place, and by the powerful agency of the Press, its appalling details Have been promulgated in every town and village of Great Britain. Every day throws new light on the deep schemes of the dangerous gang who have so long infested this county. Robinson, the constable, was on Saturday dispatched with a war rant to March, in the Isle of Ely, to apprehend Lansdale Wright, who formerly rented a hoose in Priory-lane, at this place, and fortunately succeeded in apprehending him, and brought him here, where he has been kept in safe custody. On Monday RoSinson took a second journey to Match, znd on searching Wright's premises he, by some skilful maneuvering, obtained information that a con siderable quantity of linen, &c. (the supposed property of the deceased) was buried in an adjoining garden, which proved correct; for; on turning up the earth at the place described, the property was discovered, which he delivered into the hands of the local authorities. Yesterday Wright was brought up for final exami nation, when, on being asked if he chose to give any account of the manner in which he got these things found in his garden by Robinson, the constable?— He said he purchased part of them of Joseph Slade, and the silver (poop and a few other things were his own. He was then fully committed for trial, taowing them to have been stolen. Maria Sharp, who had lived for five years as house keeper to Mr. Waterhouse, identified a large tablecloth as his property. The small tablecloth corresponded with those generally used by her late master at breakfast. The 'wives and forks, which were rather peculiar in their appearance, she stated were such as were in his house when she lived there. Since the examination on Monday, the most active exertions have been made to obtain further clue to the perpetration of this horrible deed, but hitherto without 'success. Slade, seems willing to acknowledge every thing but the murder, in consequence of which search was on Tuesday made at the cottage of his pa renti, and a pair of pistols belonging to Mr. Water. house, and a sack, with that Gentleman's name on it, were found in the pigstye, the pistols bad dropped from their hiding-place in the roof, and were sunk in the filth of the stye. The polished scabbard was also found in a straw stack in the dovehouse close ; this, from its bright ness, can only have been there a short time.—Hstnitng don Journal. Tuesday the corn•harvest commenced near Lough borough, by the cutting a field of oats. The appearances of the wheat crops are more promising than has been for many years. The trade in Domfermline u gradually improving. A number of who have been doing outdoor work for these some months back, are again employed at their own business; and though prices are still low in compuisoo with what they were formerly, still, from appearances, a rise is anticipated. Wednesday one of the corning hous•fs at the Stobbs Powder Mills, belonging to Messrs. Hitcherier and Hunter, Patin burgh,blew up,by which two men have unfortunately lost their lives. LAIIA 13ftIDOL—This buitige was on Saturday last, sin the occasion of the arrival of her Royal Highness the Duchess of CiAsensa, opened for public use, and the communication be tween Plymouth, and all places on th e easteni side of the Laira is consequently materially facilitated. On Monday a substantial dinner, with plenty to drink, was given by the Earl of MOILLICIN on the bridge, to the workmen, who walked In proceeds* from the Guildhall, accompanied by the band of the South Devon Mi litia. The Earl and Countess of ItioaLxv and Lord BOIL/MOON I met the procession at the bridge, and saw that all things necessary were provided for the feast. T hey were heartily cheered by the men, who then set to, and did ample justice to the good fare. Joserrl LAWCASTIIR, the celebrated founder of the Lancasterian system of instruction, arrived at Newhaven a few days since from the island of St. Croix. He has been travelling in dif. ferent parts of South America for several years, and has attempted to introduce his schools in Caraccas and other places In Colombia. His plans, we understand, have not been successful, and he has left that country dissatisfied. Mr. Lasicarna was to deliver a public lecture in the Centre Church in Newhaven on the 21st.—New York liver. Thus ,day evening, as the Hon. East India Company's Regiment was returning to their Barracks, in New-street, Bi . . shopsgate-street, after having been that day reviewed, on the anniversary of his igaaseer's Coronation, a crowd of people, the major part of whom were well-known thieves from Beth nal-green, impeded the entrance of the troops for a considerable time. Officers were obliged to be sent for, as there was every appearance of a riot; and previous to the arrival of the Con stables, so audacious had the mob become about the entrance to the Barracks, that an Officer named Barrow, belonging to the Rut India Company, was knocked down, and severely beaten by the mob; and, but for the timely arrival of the Constables, would most probably have been seriously injured. His only offence was preventing the crowd from rushing into the Barracks along with the oldiers. Some of the principal leaders of the mob were apprehended. THE ROMANCE 01 WAR.—A French soldier, who accompanied the armies to Russia, concealed a small treasure at the entrance of a Tillage near Wilna, wick a view of taking it with him on his return. After the defeat of Moscow he was made pri soner, and sent to Siberia, and only recovered his liberty at the end of last year. On reaching Wilna, be remembered his hidden tree sure, and after tracing oat the spot where be hid it, he went to take h away. What was his astonishment to find, in place of his money, a small tin box, containing a letter addressed to him, in which a corusnercial house was mentioned at Nancy, where he might receive the sum buried, with interest, since the year Me. The soldier supposed this all a hoax ; he went, however, to the house pointed out, where be received his capital, with twelve years' interest. With this sum he established a small business at Nancy, which enables him to live comfortably; but he has never been able, thbugh he bat taken some pains, to ascertain how his money was taken away and restored to him.—Cusserier Fronfaia. ILLUMINATED CLOCK AT HERtFORD.—A clock is alum to be placed on the front of the Town-hall, Hereford, which win be constructed so u to light the dial plate, by the agency of its own machinery, with gas—the secret of which consists in an ad.. justment that never permits the gar flame to be totally extin guished, whilst it is so minute as to be scarcely visible in the open day, and the consumption of gas so small, as to be of little copse. quence. As these clocks sbew the hour during the night, their utility is obvioils. MONUMENT TO GEORGE THE if well known that for some years past a subscription has been going on for erecting a Monument to George the Third, by Mr. WYATT. Two thousand five hundred pounds has been paid up, but a great proportion of the subscriptions, sse believe, still remains uncalled for, or unpaid. As the matter, by the lapse of time, had begun to languish and lose its members, a 'beefing of the sub scribers was called by adverrisement in the newspapers, to attend yesterday, at one o'clock, at the Piazza Coffee house, Covent-garden, in order to consider whether the original plan of a monument should be persevered in, and the outstanding subscriptions should be raised, or whether a more simple plan for a monument should not be adopted; or, in general, what was to b.: done with the money already subscribed, the consent of a General Meeting being necessary for whatever course should be adopted. S s much had the subject lost its interests, however, th At only three.of the sebscsibers, viz. Mr. IheaDeN and another Gentleman of the Committee, And Mr. BRIDGMAN ) attended. This being considered AS no meeting, nothing was done; and the mattes for .he present remains as b.fore. LAW LilTsUfoll4ct COURT OF CHANCERY, Jinx ati. CADY vrastareAut V. Hill TRUSTERS. An application was made in this case for the costs of the suit. In support of the application, affidavits wet. filed, stating that it had become necessary, owing to the circumstances in which the plaintiff was placed, and the necessity of appointing new trustees with the sand tion of the Court. Mr. Surronr opposed the application, on the ground that it was couttary to the practice of the Court to gild costs in such cases but of the fund. After some discussion at the bar, tile Loan CitAw4 uectort said he would look into the case of " Roberts and Roberts," cited by Mr. Sugdett, andgive judgment on the point at a future opportunity. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT, .Ivr.T 20. His HONOUR was occupied all day in heating motional for the most part ef•an ex rarte nature, none of which contained anything of public interest. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Jinx so. Lord TENTIRDIM at the sitting of the Court s ad. dressed Mr. Charles Frederick Williams, and desired him to take his place within the bar, as his Majesty had been graciously pleased to appoint him one of hit Counsel learned in the law. DOBSON V. SOTHIBY AND ornate. Mr. Ts:is/transom opened the pleadings. The actioll was upon a policy of insurance for 3001. effected upon a barn in the parish of Enfield, by the plaintiff, id• the Beacon Insurance Office, whereof the defendants were the Directors. The declaration averred a total loss by fire. The defendants pleaded the general issue. The Airroarray-Ganastat. said, that the Beacon In. surance Office had reduced their rate of premiums 29 per cent. so that their insurances on ordinary buildings were Is. 6d. per cent, instead of 9s. which had been the charge in other offices. By this method they had ob- Itained a great deal of business; but they had lately I dissolved their Company, and this insurance, he hoped; would be the last they would have to pay. The plain tiff was building a barn on his oven land at Enfield, at the close of last year. When he had nearly finished it; he went to the Beacon-office, and effected the insurance. What passed there would not be proved, because the plaintiff could not be his own witness. The barn was 54 feet in length, and it cost in building between 3001 s and 4001. On the Bth of January the plaintiff came td town for a few days, leaving the burn finished, all but the tarring of its interior, about ss hieh his workman was employed. Before the plaintiff left Enfield he de ll sired this workman, who had lit a fire for boiling the tar on the outside of the barn, to put it out, as he I was apprehensive that sparks might be blown by the wind against the barn; and he desired the man to light the fire inside the barn, upon a stove which was to be placed within a pan which he gave hint for that purpose. The man, ft seems, did not very willingly obey the order, fir the plaintiff was forced to repeat ir; and then the man did so far comply with it, that he lit the fire in the inside, but omitted to make use of the stove or the pan. On the 10th of January, whilst the plaintiff was in London, the man went to breakfast ; the tar during his absence boiled over, and set the barn on fire; and before any effectual help could be procured ; it was entirely burnt. The Attorney-General undo stood that the Beacon-office objected to pay the policy; because they said they did not, at ordinary premiums; insure buildings where dangerous businesses were car ried on, and the plaintiff did not acquaipt them that he was boiling tar in or near the premises. The answer to this was, that although the office did not insure at ordinary premiums where dangerous trades were carried on, still those premiums did not exclude the risk of losses occasioned by the accidental use of tar or lead; as, for example, if a house were burnt down by the plumber's pot turning over while the in. , sured was repairing the roof, the office would be liable. Suppose this barn had been built ten years, and the plaintiff had insured it, and a fortnight afterwards it wanted repairs; the insurance would not be at end be• cause the plaintiff caused it to be retarred. The only controver-y was, whether the occasional repairs of a barn or dwelling•house insured at the lowest rate of premium affected a policy, because no mention was made by the insured that repairs might be wanted? Mr. Golding, secretary to the Beacon Office, proved the defendant's handwriting to the policy, which was put in and read. It was dated the 28th of December ; 1826, and acknowledged that 4s. 6d. had been paid for the insurance for one year, commencing from the 95th December, 1826, of 8001. upon a barn in an open fields David Hargrave, carpenter at Enfield, built the barn ; and finished it on the Bth of January last. It was a brick foundation, with timber above. It was tiled, and was worth about 3501. Cross-examin!dbyMr.PoLLoCK—There are thteeditl• sions in it. One part of one division was built as a room in which a man might sleep ; another part was intended for a cowshed. There were some deal boards put in the centre part. In the third division there was a saw-pit, which was to hold rollers and carts. There was one room above. There were (our glazed windows. Re-examined—lt was built in the Middle of a fidd, Henry Young proved that the barn was entirely de+ stroyed by fire on the 10th of January last. The plain- tiff was not at Enfield then. Witness could not tell how the fire happened. Mr. Pou.ocx said, it was true the Beacon Officil were winding up their concerns, and transferring their insurances to other offices, but this would not affect the question. Mr. Sotheby, one of the defendants, was well known in the world, both as a man of letters and alGentleman of fortune. The present case was partly a question of fact, and partly a question of law ; and it was, whether the Company could be called upon to pay for the loss of a building which the plaintiff had described as a barn, but which he had used in any other' way than as a barn? If the plaintiff had adopted such a mode of tarring the barn as the Attorney General had described, it was not fair that he should call upon the office for a loss arising from such an operation. The sum paid, Is. 6d. per cent. was the very lowest rate of insurance, and was the . rate in which the Company specified in their conditions that they insured buildings built of brick and stone ; but those conditions mentioned a much higher rate for buildings built of .wood, wherein there was a chimney, or other place for making a fire. The building was described as a barn, which means a place for safe custody of hay, corn, and other agricul tural produce, but not a place where any fire was used ; and the office insured at so low a premium, becauseno danger could be expected unless from lightning, or from some malicious motive. The Company would not have in sured at the same rate a stable or cowhouse, because candles and lanterns are used in them; but the contrary is the case with a barn, which is always shut up at night. if the Office had been made acquainted that the barn had I )it I i , "I ; 1 I i v,
