This gala festival, in celebration of the natal day of Samearaans, commenced this morning, and the con• uast between the animated bustle of the inhabitants and visliers on this day, compared with the stillness of the preceding, was most striking. During the whole of Sunday, the several stage coaches from London and the neighbouring towns were crowded with passengets, and vehicles of every description were put in requisition at Birmingham, Warwick, Leamington, and the adjacent villages, to convey the immense number of individuals who were anxious to witness this splendid pageant, the first upon any scale of magnitude that has taken place since the GARRICK Jubilee, on the 6th, 7tb, and Bth of September, 1769. The festival bias conducted by the Sbaksperian Club established at Stratford. upon• Avon, who, anxious to do honoer to their illustrious townsman (Shakspeare), and to shew their loyalty to their Sovereign, have proposed holding a Triennial Commemorative Fe•tival on St. George's. Day, the 29d of April, and to continue the same on the two following days. The subscriptions received for this purpose on the present occasion have been most liberal, and far exceeding the expectations of the Committee, whose good taste and liberality evinced yesterday in the various proceedings of the ceremonial reflect upon them the highest credit. Soon atter six o'clock, the inhabitants were serenaded by the various bands of instrumental performers parad ing the town, and subsequently by the ringing of bells, firing of cannon, tee. The arrangements in the line of procession were very judicious, and controlled by the Committee, wearing' sashes aid medals, assisted by about 50 constables. The whole being in readiness at eleven o'clock, the pageant of SHAKSPEARE'S dramatic characters, filled up by actors from Mr. Raymond's company, and amateurs, moved from the Guildhall in the following order, and not as previously published : The Royal Standard of England.

Members of the Club, wearing the various medals struck for the Ocsasion • four abreast._ The procession, which had a most brilliant effect from the splendour of the armour, dresses. banners, chariots, and other decorations by Mr. PALMER, passed through the principal streets, amidst the plaudits of an immense congregation, to the birth-place of SIIAILSPILARE, which still remains in its former state. In front of the house a temporary hustings had been erected, and upon the cavalcade arriving at the spot, the officiating Gentlemen having taken their places, the bust of SHALSPEARE was crowned by Thalia and Melpomene, and an appro priate address was delivered. At the conclusion, the procession moved on to the Church, where the Epitaph inscribed on the grave-stone of SMAKSIMAItt- " Good Frigid', for Jesus sake! forbear - To dig die don mielosed Isere • Blest be the roan that spares t hese stones, And ewe be he that moves my bones;' • Was sung in an excellent manner by amateur vocalists, the music by Drowtrx. The procession, at the termi nation of Divine Service, returned te the site of the in tended new Theatre, which is partly erected, where the Mayor, assisted by the Corporation, laid the chief cor ner stone in due form. This part of the ceremonial, as well as the grand dinner to the Members of the Club in the evening, we shall give an account of in our next communication, the express being compelled to leave the town. Shakspeare's Hall is fitted up in a most su perb manner for the occasion. In various parts of the room are scrolls; over a pa;sting of SHAICSPEARL upon a white ground, " We ne'er shall look upon his like again;" and above that of G.taincn, " He suited the acti qtr to the word." Over the principal entrance within the hall, there is a ttanaparency representing the sun breaking through dark clouds. and a portrait of SHAKSPLARE. So great has been the demand for tickets for the dinner, that i great number of individuals will be disappointed in obtaining admi•sinn. In the evening various pats of the town will be illuminated, and several amusements, -bows, &c. provided for the gratification of all classes. , "fee-morrow ( Funds)) there will be a public breakfast asid a masquerade, in a temporary amphitheatre; and Wednesday a concert, ball, W..

This is the only additional information that has transpired on the subject, and at present it is in contemplation to withdraw the stakes, consequently aN bets will remain undecided.

In the match between the veterans, Ben Burn and Tom Oliver, only 51. aside has been deposited out of 501. Tom is quite sweet upon it, but it is apprehended Uncle Ben will back out of it, and pay forfeit. If the match goes forward, they fight on the 2d May. Du kl , Kenzie has paid forfeit in the match between him and Young Dutch Sam. Last night, at the Castle Inn, Holborn, a passing" intereleve took place between Young Gas and Reuben Martin, which accidentally brought into action Young Dutch Sam and Dick Curtis. Words and threats were bandied about plentifully. After much noise and struggling, Tom Belcher complaining of the noise and want of custom, occasioned by standing up, and the customers complaining of inconvenient noise and other absurdities, the row was quelled, but not before Gas, Sans ' and Curtis were mounted on the sane hadtable on which Reuben planted himself to meet the verbal and avow the physical attacks he was willing to execute. Such a row we have rarely witnessed, bat a few days (when we recollect what has already transpired) will settle the dispute. Dick Curtis was uproarious, Dutch Sam was dangerous, and Gas was determined— nothing could satisfy him but a fight then and there. On considera tion the thing dwindled into the quiet appearance of a regular match, which promises a fair battle. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Avian. The LORD CHANCZLLOR came down to Lincoln's-inn again to day, and transacted business in his private room. The cases disposed of were, for the most part, lunatic petitions. No persons but the Counsel and So licitors engaged in the particular cases called on were admitted: but the Court outside was crowded. His Lordship did aot wear his judicial robes. JUDGII His LORDSHIP, seeing Mr. Bickersteth in the room, told him that he should feel particularly obliged to that Gentleman if he would take the trouble of obtaining and communicating to him. the opinion of - the Bar. upon whether, as he had purpo.ed on Saturday, it would be better for him to dispose of in judgment, after he went out of office, those judgments being to be consi dered as if delivered while yet in office, all cases that now stand for judgment, instead of having those cases again argued before his successor ? Mr. BICKIRSTRTH promised to attend to his Lord ship's wishes. His LORDSHIP, afterwards addressing Mr. Treslove, said, " Mr. Treslove, I find it will be quite impossible for me to get through all the cases that stand for judg ment, before I am shipped off ; and, therefore, I shall be exteedingly glad to know whether the Bar and the suitors will take my judgments after I go out of office, ,us if ditlivered while in it? . . . , lgt., TREELOYZ said, he was sure that his clients COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Anat. 23. • 'would be - glad to have this course adopted.

Toe LORD CHANCRLLOR thought this object most desirable, and therefore directed the reference. Another Petition prayed on behalf of Messrs. Collin arid Co. who were the Solicitors of the lunatic before the commission issued, and who had advanced the sum of 201. to Sir Gregory for his personal use, at a time when he was in great distress, that they might be at liberty to carry in their bill of costs for taxation, and have an inquiry whether that 201. should be paid ter them.—Order made. A fourth prayed that Mr. Cotbet might be at liberty to carry in his bill of costs to be taxed, for all business he had done for Sir Gregory since he had been admitted to see the lunatic under the order of the Court; the 5001. being to be deducted from what might be found due to Mr. Corbet, which had been advanced to him in order to enable him to prepare for the trial of the traverse. His LORDSHIP said, it was impossible any tuch ge neral order of reference could be made in favour of Mr. Corbet. The order permitting him to see the lunatic expressly meant that his transactions with him should be restricted to the subject of the lunacy ; and if a re ference for this part of the business he had done could be made, his Lordship would only do that, atter hav ing seen the bill of costs, which be directed Mr. Cotbet ~to deliver to the Secretary in Lunacy. BUSINESS OF THE COURT. The LORD CHANCELLOR stated, thAt he would sit here again on Wednesday, and take bankrupt cases first, and subsequently the remainder of the lunatic petitions, His Lordship also direct2d a notice to be posted up in Court, intimating that motions intended to have bees made before him to morrow (the seal), should be made before the Master of the Rolls, if his Honour sat; and if not, before the Vice Chancellor. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, ATAIL 93. HALLIDAY V. ENDERBY AND COL This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover from the defendants, the owners of the ship Rambler, compensation for his services in navigating that vessel from Port Jackson to England in 182 S. It appeared from the evidence that the Rambler left England is May, 1823, upon a whaling voyage, the terms of the contract being that the crew should be paid by a pores Lion of the profits. The plaintiff was at this time chief mate of the vessel. The Rambler proceeded off the Friendly islands, and one whale was caught. Soon after this two of the crew deserted from the vessel, and the Captain and four men who had gone ashore in pursuit of them, came in collision with the natives, and unfor tunately perished in the conflict. The plaintiff, on learning the fate of the commander, assumed the com mand of the vessel, and carried her to Port Jackson, where he communicated what had occurred to the defendants agent. They conferred together as to what was best to be done, and they agreed that it would he most adviseable to abandon the further prosecution of the whaling voyage, and to carry a freight to England. The defendants agent informed the crew of what had been resolved upon, and they consented to the arrangement., and the agent contracted with them for their wages for the voyage to England, and hired additional hands, to make up a crew of 24 men. In Ju1y,1825, the vessel sailed from Port Jackson, with a freight of about 7001. She touched at St. Helena, and remained ten days, and took in an additional freight to the amount of 261. When the vessel arrived in Eng land, the defendants paid the crew their wages, accord ing to the terms agreed upon by their agent at Port Jackson, but refused to remunerate the plaintiff for his services. _ _ The defendants' case was, Oat the plaintiff had for feited all claim to compensation by abandoning the original voyage without authority, and by misconduct in g himself in other respects. Evidence was called, which established that a crew of 15 men was sufficient to navigate the vessel from Port Jackson; that SO hours instead of I() days was sufficient to enable him to do all that was requisite at St. Helena, and that during the voyage he was fre quently intoxicated. Mr. SCARLET, the plaintiff's counsel, contended, in Ireply, that the , defendants had themselves sanctioned the abandonment of the original voyage, by paying the crew according to the contract which had been entered into by their own agent. With respect to the other two points—namely, the alleged unnecessary delay at st.
