THE KING'S LEVEE. Yesterday his MAJESTY held his second Levee since his Accession to the Throne, which was nume rously and splendidly attended, many of the Nobi lity and Gentry present being in addition to those who attended the Levee of last week. They began to arrive a few minutes before one o'clock, and con tinued setting down till nearly four. A-Guard of Honour marched into the-Court-yard of the Kiug's Palace, previous to the commencement of the Levee, preceded by the band of the First Re g;ment of Foot Guards, io their State uniforms, to gether with the E ns i gn attac h e d to t h e G uar d o f I lonour, with the Waterloo and other battles in which it had been successfully engaged. A detachment of the Life Guards marched into Waterloo-place arid Pall4fall with their band of trumpets, kettledrums, &c. in their rich splendid dresses, who played delight ful pieces alternately with the band of the Guard of Honour. Townsend, Sayer, and a numerous assem blage of the Police were in attendance. The Grand was lined with the Yeomen of the Guard. The Honourable Band of Gentlemen Pensioners were in attendance in the Octagon Hall. Soon after two o'clock the KING entered the State apartments, and proceeded to receive the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers, the Great Officers of State, and those who have the privilege of the entree. His Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX came in State, and was received with military honours, the band playing. GOD save the King.

The Chevalier Isaszy, a distinguished French Artist, in the style of our Academician CONWAY, has just opened a Gallery, next the British. Institution, Pall:Mall, for the exhibition of his works. This col lection has, we understand, been much admired at Paris and Vienna, and the Artist stands in the first estimation upon the Continent. The Gallery was yesterday crowded by persons of the first rank and consideration. It is fitted up with all the neatness of French taste and ingenuity. A muslin canopy is constructed in the form of a tent, elegantly festooned, which foyers the Saloon, and through which the light from above passes in a chastened degree, and is thereby prevented from overpowering the soft and delicate colouring of the Pictures. The Gallery con tains nearly one hundred works. They are Histori cal, Poetical, Landscape Sketches, and Portraits of all sizes. The picture of the Plenipotentiaries at Congress cor.tains admirable Likenesses of all the . Ministers of the Allied Powers and their Secretaries,' arranged in full length, with the greatest taste and i skill. Bonapartis Reviews are also admirable, and are interesting records, no; alone of the military tac tics of that extraordinary man, but still more so, as containing the best Portraits of his most celebrated Generals—' Those names at which the world grew pale !"--and the most faithful representatives of that effect which BONAPARTE always wished to produce, and in whieh, perhaps, he was never surpassed. There is a very curious Painting on Copper, which is admirably executed in a rich and harmonious tone of colouring. Some of the Sketches are really beauti fuVand the Landscapes in the highest degree in teresting. The Miniatures are full of merit, and equal to any we. have 'ever before seen. We trust that the result of M. Ismszv's exhibition will give him a favourable idea of the taste of our Country. His works are will entitled to public attentiou,- COVEND-GARDEN TIMATRE. A new Tragedy, founded on the story of Virginias, and entitled " Virginias ; or, The Fall of Rome,' was produced last night at this Theatre. its success was brilliant, and its merit such that we think it will keep permanent possessiiin of the Stage. The following • are the principal Dramatis Persona': A ppius Claudius ....... ...g Mr. Assam Claudius Mr. CONNOR. ll'irginius••• .•• es* so • * ..... *** ..... • ltr. MACR ZARIN hill 113.• • ..... ••• ..... •••• Mr. C. Kzauns. Siccius Dentatus Mr. TERRY. Numitorius.......••... 00000 •••• Mr. Rat ILTON• "- Virflini f a Miss Poore. Servia (her Nurse) Mrs. Fantle. The Play opens with the re-election of aligius to the Decem virate, and the loves of /cigars and Virginia. The marriage of the latter is interrupted by an incursion of the Sabines upon the Roman territory, which calls away the father and bridegroom to the camp. The profligate tyranny of Apples, in the mean time, becomes more odious and daring at Rome. lie acci dentally ices Virginia—is struck with her beauty—instructs Clandins, the minister of his vices, to claim her as his slave. She is, in consequence, dra gg ed before the tribunal of the Decemvir, but is. wrested for the moment from her peril, by the sudden ar rival of lidos, her lover—upon an undertaking that she should appear with her father before the iniquitous Judge on the next day. A messenger, ip the interim, seeks Vir.inins in the camp —finds him breathing grief and vengeance for the murder of Dentatus by the Deem:wits—brings him to Rome, and the father and daughter again appear before the tyrant. The memorably infamous decree is pronounced, and the outraged father, in his despair, preserves the purity df his child, by plunging a poignard in her bosom, which be draws out reeking, and with it, devotes to the infernal gods th-: traitor despot and the institution of the Deceinvirate. There is yet another Act, in which Virginity ap pears a maniac, discovers ApjKus in a dungeon, and, in his wild frenzy, strangles him to death. This is, indeed, an excellent Play ; the passages prominently poetical are few, but these few discover either ahappy combination of fancy and feeling, or great vigour of imagination. There appears a stu dious avoidance of luxuriant imagery. .The Piece may be compared' to those itionuments of art which exhibit the musculat• vigour and natural proportions of the antique, naked and unadorned. Virginias is• drawn a dramatic per ()nage of a high order. His historical character, and the Roman manners of hii time, are preserved with great force and fidelity of touch. The delineation of this arduous character by MacitEany will take its place among the first performances on the Stage. It is one of the finest specimens of the art which his great and still growing genius has yet produced. Austere,.tender, familiar, elevated, ming:ing at once terror and pathos, he ran over the scale of dramatic expression, with the highest degree of what may be called power. Mr. C. KEM BLE, who laboured under a severe cold, still played kllius admirably. The scene in which he suddenly appears and rescues his bride, was in his finest style, and received electric applause from the audience. Mr. TERRY and Mr. ABBOTT perfoimed their respec tive parts with judgment and ability. The Author has reason to be satisfied with the diligence with which all the remaining less important characters were repretented. Miss FOOTE deserves high and particular praise for her representation of Virginia. Mrs. FAUCET had one good scene as the nurse, which she played with great effect. The Tragedy was given out for repetition, amidst lively and unmixed applause. LAW INTELLIGENCE. CONSISTORY COURT, MAY 16. LORD HAWKE V. COBRI, CALLING HERSELFII THE NAME OF LADY HAWKE. The. Learned Judge (Sir WILLIAM Scorr) pro ceeded this day to give sentence in the above cause, which had been argued at length on a preceding Court day, on the admission of an allegation brought in on the part of Lord Hawke, responsive to one on the part of the Lady, previously admitted. His Lordship in giving judgment, said—According to Lord Hawke's own account he has been living for years in an adulterous connexion with the wife of another man, whom, for the conveniencies of that connexion, he has everywhere introduced and qua lified as hi; own. What protection he may find in other Courts from the molestation of claims arising from this imposture, which he has practised upon the world, is not for me to inquire. He must fight through the difficulties he has created; and in every case he will have the protection to which he is le gally entitled. But this Court cannot indulge him with a general exemption from all possible inconve nience, by pronouncing a sentence of malicious jacti tation against the person whom he himself has tu tored to use• the language of which he complains. The COURT, therefore, dismissed the suit. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 16. THE KING V. WILLIAM BURL _ This was an indictment against the defendant, stated to be an Army Agent, founded on the 49th Geo. 111. cap. 126. sec. 4. and the 55th Geo. 111. cap. 106. sec. 133. passed for the further prevention of the sale and brokage of offices, places, and ap pointments, under GovernMent, imputing that he, without lawful authority, had negotiated on behalf of a Gentleman named Lorraine, with a Gentleman named Hobson, for the purchase of a Commission, for the former, in the 16th Regiment of Light Dra goons. The defendant neither appeared pei sonally nor by Counsel. The case proved in evidence was in substance this: The defendant resided in Fludyer-street, Westmin ster, and the prosecutor, Mr. Lorraine, a young Gen tleman of fortune, applied to him to procure a Com mission in the Army. The defendant stated, that he had two Cornetcies on sale, the one in a Regi ment of Heavy, and the other of Light Dragoons. The prosecutor preferred the latter, and the price stipulated by the defendant was 1,200 guineas. By the regulations of the War-Office, the price of such a Commission was limited to 700 guineas. The Com mission alluded to was in the 16th Light Dragoons, of which the defendant was not the Agent. The de fendant, in pursuance of the contract, stipulated that the prosecutor should immediately pay down £9OO, which the latter did accordingly, the defendant giving him two receipts, one for 700 guineas, which, be stated, was to be transmitted to the Duke of York, and the other for the balance, to be accounted for on demand, 'as expressed in the written . acknowledg ment It turned out, in the result, that the prose cutor was completely defrauded of his money s and was never appointed to the Commission which he had expected to procure. There being .no defence, the Jury, under the Judge's direction, found the defendant—Guilty. MAY 17.—The Court sat this day at Guildhall, but none of the cases were of public interest. To-morrow the Adjourned Siftings wallbe held at Westminster. otb Ilitrz 2 EY atsdrdiA sisasiosms Yesterday Sternly* the %Odes etnitmeeeo hefpze Mr. Ja‘ Mice &net, Mr. Baron Gaitow, the Right lion. the LOll4 Maros, Aldermen, Am los Hattey, aged 42, LAn Berry, aged 22, and William 'Buey, 24; were indicted for stealing and killing a sheep, on the list of March, the property of Edward floprdii, of EdmJntoii.--The Jury returned a verdict of—Not Guilty. .rolus Bounty was capitally indicted for stealing a cart and horse, four•sides of veal, and three caresses of thtitton, the pio perty of Christian Deering.a--Guilty of stealing the meat only.

JURY COM; EDINBURGH, MAI' !1; TIM pAinry UNION BANK COMPANY AGAINST JAM/11 morF AT, alias JAMES M'COUL. This case, which has excited so much interest throughout the United Kingdom, owing to the de; fender's connection with the late Ile'cy name of no mean celebrity in the English criminel ' calendar, carne on beiore this Court this morning, and attracted a crowded auditory. The Jury having been : called over, and the issues read, Mr. COCKBURN opened the case for the pursuers. On the evening of the 13th, or in the morning ''of the 14th of July, 1511, the pursuers, his clients, had their banking-house, at least the branch of it in Glaisgow i robbed of notes and specie to a considet'able amount; and the accusation against the prisoner, which they would have to tty, was-Ist, That :le, on the said 12th or 13th of July, in the said year, actually did commit the rubbery; that he was cow:en- 'd with others in committing it ; and that he became un lawfully possessed of part of the money stolen—. that is, with a guilty knowledge of its 'being stolen. —The offence, as he had stated, was committed in Glasgow in July, 1811. In the same year the defen der was suspected of being concerned in the robbery, and in 1812, he was apprehended, and committed to Glasgow jail. He was afterwards liberated, and went to London. In the years 1513 and 1815 he was at Leith, where he again underwent an examination on the charge of being concerned with two other per sons in the same robbery which forms the ground of this prosecution. Be would not trouble them with an account of the actions the defender brought against the Bank, and other persons concerned in.apprehend ing him on these occasions. All this, as well as his former apprehensions, and whatever was not tendered them in evidence, they were to leave out of their con sideration. The issues to try were, I. Was the defender guilty of stealing, or carryiil away from the premises of the said Banking Company the property charged? 2. Whether he received the money, or any part of it? 3. Whether the notes found on his person, or traced to 11!s possession,- re the same that were stolen from the said banki:lg house ?—which, in fact, was the radical question which involved the defender in the accusation of having concern in the robbery. A number of witnesses were then examined, u hich occupied the greater part of the day; Among. these' were, John Skoltock, locksmith, in London ; S ickery and Lavender, Bow-street officers; and Mary White, the widow of Huffey White. Their evidence proved the connection of Moffat with White and French, and traced their progress from Glasgow to London, after the robbery of the Bank. Mr. JEFFREY then spoke for damages, which the LORD CHIEF COMMISSIONER said would be consi dered by the Jury. Mr. J. P. GRANT briefly addressed the Jury for the defender. The LORD COMMISSIONER recapitulated the evi dence ; and the Jury having retired for about a quar ter of an hour, returned with a verdict, finding for the pursuers in each of the three issues, but i fladipg Me defender liable in no damages.
