This was a bill filed by Mr. Const against the de■ fendants, praying an account of the rents and profits of Covent Garden Theatre, sine 181'2; also that a re ceiver may be appointed. It appeared, in 1812, the proprietors of the Theatre executed a deed, by which it was settled that the proceeds and profits of the theatre should be solely appropriated to 0 e liquidation of the debts contracted in building the theatre. The proceeds of the theatre arise from the nightly receipts, and the letting of certain boxes during the season, amounting to a considerable sum, also from the letting of the theatre during the time of Lent, to persons for the petfatmance of oratorios; and from a certain house adjoining, used as a coffee-house. The plaintiff is the executor of Mr. Martindale, w ho was entitled to one eighth share of the -property. Mr. Const complained that the provisions of the deed were not complied with, at least since the death of M-. Martindale. Also that Mr. Brandon had been removed without hit consent, who had been appointed receiver, having given recut ity to the amount of 10,0001 and that Mr. Robinson had been appointed instead of Mr. Brandon, without *hying any wear ity.—The Trea surer, under the provisions of the deed, was to apply the pi oceeds to the payment of the debts so contracted. This case had been before the Court a year or two ago, and an order was made by the Lord Chancellor in com pliance with the prayer of the bill filed by Mr. Cnnst, which order has not been 'literally carried into effect. The present hid was therefore filed, bringing the suit de novo before the Court. Xlr. HART appeared for the plaintiff. Th- VICg-CH ANC eL 1.0 Ft was of opinion that the Court had no jurisdiction in this case. This was a partnership property. If a partnership became dissolved by the eMuzion (J•time, this Court would take cognizance of the matter, and appoint a receiver, in older to the winding up of the accounts. If the Court acknowledged the principle of interfering in cases of this description, it would be overwhelmed with all the partnerships in the kingdom. The order of the Lord Chancellor seemed to have been made on the ground of the limitation con tained in the deed of 181 g. But he doubted whether the Court. even in that case, could interfere. He would wish to see the point completely argued, and, in con sequence, would permit the case to stand over till Satur day morning. COURT OP KING'S BENCH, Aritt.9.7. IN THE MATTER OF ROBERT BLIGH. ESQ. Mr. Ct.:meow) applied to the Court, for the estension of the rules of tie King's Bench Prison to Mr. Robert Migh, who is in the custody of the Marshal of this Court, for a breach of the•peace towards the Right Hon. Earl of Darnley, after articles had been exhibited. The ground of the Learned Counsel's application was the ex treme ill heath of Mr. high, and a certificate of a surgeon, stating that the defendant required constant medical attendance, which could not be very easily poetised in the King's Bench Pt lion. The Loa. Caner Justice said be could not listen to the certifi cate of a surgeon; he aught to have made an affidavit. JustiC4. HAVERS` said the most the Court had ever been In duced to do for I%lr. Bligh was, to suffer him to go in the cuarnly of a tirtaff to Bads on some emergency, when his personal atten dance there was ahst‘letvly necessary. But tkat was not the object of the present application. The COUNT, after consulting, then decided, that upon the case now• submitted to them, they could not secede to the application. The Court was occupied during the forenoon in paring jutig siren on pri‘oners, principally those couvicted of effences ifgain't the Iscits laws. A publican, named Marlins, was sentenc..d to pay a fine of SOI for an assault a Hoyt.,+n Excisitnan.

An alarming and destructive sre broke out this morning, at half-past five o'clock, in the extensive manufactory of Mr. Kma, patent steam-engine maker, Church Line, Whitechapel, which entirely consumed the whole i the premises, and those of Mr. Hamm, farrier. It alai did much damage to the back.front of the bowies of Mr. &moony, baker ; Mr. Snore an under taker; Mr. Tozazzaz, cork -cutter; Mr. GIANT, a b u tcher, and some others. Ebenezer Chapel also received consideraMe damage, as did several tenements adjoining.

PALERMO, Waal 23.—The beautiful comet which In the months a September and October last year shone with such splendour in our southern hemisphere, and then withdrew, has now returned to our horizon. On the lath it was observed from our Royal Observatory by Signor Caesavroaz, about an hour and a quarter before sunrise, between the legs of Sagitarius. Its right ascension was 249 deg. and south declination 47 deg. 45 min. If the mountain did not cover five degrees of the southern horizon of Palermo, it might have been seen some days earlier. The two Italians who stabbed a money-changer in the Palais Royal some time since, have been tried, found guilty, and sentenced to death. ELoresizsrr.—At a very early hour an Thursday morning, the servants of one of the inns at Perth were raised by the arrival of a chaise and four from the South, which bore every mark of extreme baste, the poet-boys nearly in paris Naturalgts, having been allowed no time to dress at the preceding stage, and having driven with such expeditiun as to pass the mail between Kin ross -and Perth. Immediately on its arrival here, a warrant, it is said, was applied for, to break open the gate of a mansion in this neighbourhood, in search of a young lady, and heiress of great property in the North, who, along with a young gentleman. had eloped from Edinburgh the preceding evening. On gaining admis sion (which was done without violence), the gentleman made his appearance with the unanswerable argument of the marriage lines in his hand—Perth Gour. April 20. The poor weavers of Carlisle have been set to work on the roads, the sands, arc. at wages varying I rom Is. to Is. 6d. per diem. Yesterday the bitting of the adjourned Middlesex Ses sions was attended by a very numerous bench of Magis trates, the day being appointed for the discussion of the important question, whether the Court had the power, of appointing a Pass-master for the removal of Scotch and Irish paupers? The office, it may be remembered, I had been abolished, as being no longer legal ; and the, Court decided that they had no power to revive it. A few nights since a well-dressed man knocked at the door of a Gentleman's house at the west end of the town, and told the servant that be had, unfortunately, in passing, dropped his glcve in the area, requesting him to fetch it ; with which request the servant, al nothing doubting," readily complied; but on his return, in a few minutes, found that the stranger had decamped, with sundry great coats, cloaks, Ore. from the hall. Wednesday night, at eight o'clock, as a Lady alighted from the Tottenham coach, on Snowhill, she was robbed of her reticule, containing a gold neck chain, with family seals, valuable foreign bracelets, a purse of gold and silver, and other articles of value, and some Private papers.—Another Lady had also yes- terday her reticule snatched from her in the street. A valuable plantation upon the estate of Hirsel, the property of the Earl of Home, situate upon the north side of the road leading from the Greenlaw Turnpike Road to Birgham, was wilfully set fire to, early on the morning of Saturday the Bth inst. by same malicious persons, and about half an acre of the plantation c-m -pletely destroyed. Yesterday morning a scene of confusion took place in the Borlbigh, occasioned by the seizure of a cart, having neither name nor number on it, by Oxley, belonging to the Office in Essez-ureet, who, on attempt. ing to convey it to the green-yard, at Newington, was attacked by a mob, who rescued the prize, and com menced a furious attack upon him with missiles of every description. To avoid their fury, he fled into the Ship public house, Stone's-cod, and from thence into a private house under tne Bench wall, kept by a widow named Griffith, the dour of which he closed behind him. Here he was followed by the mob, who broke open the door, dragged him out, and beat him most unmercifully. He at lenigth effected a retreat saw the Windsor Castle, Great Suffolk-street, which the mul titude threatened to pull down. He was, however, protected until the arrival of the Boiv.street patrol; who dispirsed the mob. Complaints have been lodged it the Town Hall against several persons concerned in the outrage. APPEALS.

COMMON COUNCIL. A Conti of Common Council was held yesterday at Guildhall. Mr. Griffiths presented a Petition from the Victuallers of Smithfield and its vicinity, on the resolution adopted by the Court on the 13th inst. prohibiting the letting ground in Smithfield Market fur stand ings for Shews and Interludes during Bartholomew Fair, which was referred to the Committee of City Lands. A Petition was presented from several of the principal inhabitants of Cheapside, praying the removal of the Stand of Coaches there, and referred to the Committee for general purposes. The Committee of City Lands presented a Report on the tete tepee to inquire into the practice of summoning Juries for the Csrpn►t's Inquest on panics who die in St. Bartholomew's Hospital, recommending, that in future cases of deaths there, requiring such Juries, that the Coroner should direct them to be summoned out of ' the adjoining Wards alternately, which was agreed to. The Court agreed with a Report from the Committee for con tributing 3001. for an improvement near Southwark Bridge, by laying some ground into the street there. The Court then proceeded to the election of a Collector of the City's Dues of Groundage on Colliers and Waterballiage on Coals, *hen Mr. Edward White was elected by a very large majority, and a deputation sent to him of the office sealed with the City seal. The thanks of the Court were unanimously voted to the Rev. Mr. Dillon, Chaplain to the Lord Mayor, for his Sermon on the first Sunday in Raster Term, preached at St. Paul's, before his Lordship, the Judges, &c. ; and he was requested to print it, and send a copy to each Member. It was referred, on a motion by Mr. Deputy Routh, to the Com mittee of City Lands, to consider the propriety and practicability of removing Honey-lane Market, for the purpose of opening a wide space fur the standing of hackney-coaches instead ul Cheap,ide.

Comedian, the light weight, came off at score, and continued in front, as aril as he could split, till near the bu shes, when Rufus and Enamel gut up to him. A nuist desperate struggle commenced between these two, without either 11..ving any apparent advantage till they were close upon home, when Enamel by degrees got a little ground of him, and when they passed the post he was pronounced to have beaten Rufus by a length, Comedian being the urns distance behind Rufus, and bringing ha the rear of an. of the most beautiful races of the week.

A Gentleman residing in Tbames.street preferred the cumplaiot; from whose statement it appeared, that the prisoner suspected the old man. and a soldier who was in company with him, intended to play off the old trick of ring-dropping upon hint, they pretending to find a ring, and !co appeal to him as to the value of it. This was quite enough for the coal-heaver, wbo immediately turnedi to and gave tkent both a dreadful beating, although neither of them offered any defence.

UNION-HALL Yesterday, a female, of respectable appearance, attended at side Clihi.e for the purpose of asking the Magistrates ;deice, under the following circumstances:—During the statement of her complaint, ske exhibited great agitation. The applicant proceeded to state that she had an only daughter, 17 years of age, on whom was placed alt the hopes of the family; latterly a respectable young min, to whom abe had been introduced at a party, became constant in attention towards her, and visited at the house frequently with the consent of applicant, •who considered that he meant nothing but what was truly honourable. On Tuesday morning, however, her daughter not appearing at the breakfast table at the usual hour, the servant was sent to her bed room, when it was ascertained that she bad absented herself, and on examining the drawers and cupboards, the Iwhole of the young lady's wardrobe was discovered to have been removed early that morning in her flight from home. The appM , cant added, that a letter was found in the bed room from the pergola with whom she had eloped bearing his signature, and stating, that ' In the event of the young lady's family settling £l,OOO upon their daughter, together with a furnished house fit for the reception of a Gentleman and his wife, be would then, on their agreeing to suck proposal, and communicating the same to a friend of his, act in an i bonourable manner towards their daughter by joining in the holy bands of matrimony ; but in cue they should not consent with hiss terms, he threatened to seduce and then desert bet, remarking that she was completely in his power, and that she was detetmined on forsaking every one belonging to her utiless his propositions were agreed to. The Lady said, that the object bf her application was. to have a warrant issued against the person of whom she complained for running away with her daughter. The Magistrate observed, that be was afr..?d he could not assist her in the recovery of her daughter, unless she (the applicant) could testify on oath that the girl bad been taken away by force, and without her consent. The Lady is reply said, that she should be 'perry to swear to that. fact, for she felt confident no threats had been held out to beer daughter, and that she bad left her home spontaneously, acting en der the advice of the hypocrite, who had written time letter that was discovered In the bed-room. The Magistrate lamented that he had not the power of punishing a ruMan who was capable of writing such au epistle, and advisint the applicant to consult with her legal Adviser en the subject, who• would adopt such measures as would restore the young Lady to her family.—She then thanked the Magistrate and withdrew. Mr. Bonafou, Member of the Royal Agricultural Society of Turin, had proposed to that Society the adoption of a Hand-instrument for Sowing Corn, which is in use in the South of France. It ts extremely simple. cheap, and very easily used. The sower, following immediately after the plough, gently shakes the sowing machine in the longitudinal direction of the furrow, so that the seed, falling into it, is uniformly distributed.— I resolved," says Mr. B. " to convince myself, by my own experience, and with accuracy. of the degree of saving resulting from the use of this instrument. With this, on the 17th of October, 1821, 1 sowed by hand three pounds two ounces of wheat ; and, on an equal extent of ground, perfectly similar, I sowed with the instrument one pound eight ounces of whe,t, of the half of what I had sown by hand. The corn was reaped 30th of June. 1822. The grain sown by hand had pro duced 161 pounds of wheat. and that sown with the instrument exactly 17 rounds. Thus we see, that, with the instrument, half the quantity of seed corn' is suf ficient. This instrument is merely a portable box, shaped like a kneading trough, being 20 inches in length by 6 in breadth at the top, and 17 inches by 21 at the bottom. A third part of the top. at each end, is covered over; the centre being open to receive the grain, with a sliding beard to cover it when used. It is held by a handle fixed in the longitudinal direction of the bp:, and about a foot above it. The form of the handle is, of course, of little consequence." MARIMCD.
