The meeting was highly respectable ; besides many noblemen there was a large attendance of the corps sirenkstiqw. The Marquis of Ayt.vintrav was in the chair. His lordship sddressed the meeting. and said that they had assembled for the jr,:tpose of considering the best plan to be adopted for re-building tlie theatre. lie would not trespass on their time, but would refer ti.ein to the report of the committee which would be read to them. H. to:Mooed his observations by saying that he was most anxious to give the objects of the meeting his most cordial support.— (Ap )1,11,4e). Mr. Illattcw, the solicitor of Mr. Arnold, then read the follow ing report : .• It may, perhaps, be desirable to put the meeting in possession of the preliminary measures the committee have thought necessary to adopt. beaming with pain that in consequence of the omis sion of Mr. Arnold to insure the property for 8,0001. which by his lease he was bound to have done, a forfeiture had been incurred, they took the earliest opportunity of seeking a conference with the solicitors of the Marquis of Exeter, Mr. Arnold's ground land. lord, the result of which was a proposition on the part of the committee, and communicated by the solicitors to his lordship. In reply to which proposition, the Marquis, although declin ing to waive his tight of re-entry, is pleased to express his regret at 31r. Arnold's misfortune, and his lordship's strong inclination to assist him by granting a new lease, should Mr. Arnold find himself in a condition to rebuild the theatre. In a just confidence that the expectation thus held out by his lordship will be eventually realised the committee did not hesitate a moment in taking such steps as seemed to them best calculated to promote this object. A meeting was accordingly convened of the old renters for the adjustment of their claims, and the committee are gratified in being able to state that a large majority of them most liberally consented at once to abandon a great proportion of their annuities, to postpone even their remaining claims, in favour of the new renters, and to relinquish their five admissions, which were secured to them under the deben tures. The committee also lost no time in causing plans and esti mates to be made for a new theatre, and it is found that on the most moderate calculation it will be impossible to rebuild the theatre, with its indispensable appendages of machinery, scenery, ward robes, musical and dramatic librariee, furniture, and all the expen. sive department denominated properties, under the sum of 40,0001. The plans are now submitted to the meeting, and from the novelty of its construction, affords security against a recurrence of a similar cats: trophe, they trust will in the highest degree prove satisfactory. It is proposed that the theatre should be insulated—should be se contrived that by aid of party walls the greater portion of the pro. perty shall be insurable at nearly the common rate of insurance.... like wardrobes, the music, and library—all the various and expen sive articles denominated properties—being placed apart in build. ings absolutely detached from the main edifice, and under separate roofs communicating by bricked arched passages only, and asps. rated by unperforated party walls. " In the construction of the new building the committee recoms l mend to the trustees (to whom the property is to be assigned for the benefit of the new renters) stone and iron to be used wherever they can be applied judiciously; the best supply of water obtained, the most approved apparatus for extinguishing fire provided, and an effective and vigilant system of watching adopted, to afford additi. oval security to those whose property may be embarked in the thea tre. To carry these plans into effect the committee propose that the sum of 30,0001. should be raised by debentures, viz. 120 at 2501. each, entitling the holder to an annuity of 121. 10s. for sixty years, with a free admission, transf erable annually, to all performances under the English Opera license. The purchasomoney to be paid by instalments of 501. and only to be called for as the mak proceeds; and no greater number of debentures or rent charges will be issued than what is now specified. On the subject of securities the tom. unitise, in conclusion, beg to call your attention to these further considerations, that, the old renters having abandoned their claims as before stated, the new renters will, when the theatre iserected, rest them upon an entirely unincumbered property (the landlord's claim excepted), upon a very valuable leasehold property, which will be more amply secured by the insurance to be regularly effected on the buildings, and on all that part of the daily accumulating pro perty which will be separated from the body of the theatre itself, as also by the value of the adjoining extensive premium, and by the licenses attached to the theatre, viz, the English Opera license; the lord chamberlain's winter license for musical performances and recitations; the proprietor's share of the license of the French plays; sod the magistrates' license for music and dancing, and other enter. tainmenta of the like kind. Such are the plans of the new theatre, and the proposals for carrying them into execution, which the tom. mittee have, on a due consideration of the subject, thought expedient to lay before the public." Lord CARRINGTON rose and said, that, though he had not the pleasure of knowing Mr. Arnold personally, he had come there out of regard for that gentleman, whose merits were so well known and appreciated by the public. He regretted his own incapacity to do Mr. Arnold that justice which he deserved, and therefore, instead of occupying the time of the meeting, he should at once read the re- I solution which he had the honour to move. Ile then moved a tests. laden declaratory of the merit of Mr. Arnold, and his claims upon public patronage and sympathy. Previous to the resolution being put, he concluded his observations by stating, that, in addition to the calamitous fire, the extraordinary, unexpected, and undimmed distress of a gentleman, to whom the public were so greatly indsbesd, formed an appeal which no British heart could resist. (Cheers )-- fly the talents of Mr. Arnold, music was restored to that state of simplicity which touches the heart and speaks the language of all nations. Independent of those claims, the national honour was identified in the restoration of the theatre, and he was quite sure that that honour would be supported by the liberal assistance of the public. (Applause.) Sir A. BARNARD seconded the resolution, which was carried with acclamation. The Marquis of SALISBURY took that opportunity of heari ng _ testimony to the merits of the gentleman in whose behalf they had assembled, and Iris unremitting exertions at all times to gratify the public by the restoration of music which had fallen into disuse. It was meet gratifying to lay before the meeting the promising &um sial statement which had appeared in the report. All that was re entired As die reinstating of the theatre was 30,000;. and he had no doubt that the required sum would be obtained without any dia. culty. His lordship then moved. that, in order to effect such a de. sirable object, it was the opinion of the meeting that the above sum should be raised by rent. or shares of 2501. each, entitling the holders attach shares to 121. 10s. annually and transferable free ad. missions. And he (the noble marquis) was of opinion that those terms wire sufficiently advantageous as to induce him to invest his money, for the prosperity of the original concern was strong evidence that every thing here promised would be realised. Mr. O. Roaiss seconded the resolutions with many pertinent observations. Lord CAsrLtassou would not occupy the time of the meeting by making a speech, but at once set example by placing his name on die list fig a share. Sir W. FREMANTLE, after many complimentai obaervations to. welds Mr. Arnold. followed his example. Sir G. (.Leas, as one of the committee, observed, that, fiom the manner Mr. Arnold conducted the former concern, the fullest re liance might be placed on his management of the present proposed we, at d also put down his name as a subsa.ber. Mr. Swint?, solicitor of the Waterloo-bridge Company, said that when he entered the room he had no intention of parting with his Ismael ; but so satisfied was be with the security that he would pet down his name for a share ; and be further added, that although the huddini was to cost 40,0001. Mr. Arnold would subscribe 104010 i. rendering the security beyond all question. The Marquis of SALISRUR Y observed, that in addition to the 10,1)1*.. Mr. Mould would aro amigo other property to the amount el tale! pir annum. (Applause.)

MEERYWETHEII T. TURNER. Mr. KNIGHT stated this cue to be an application by certain parties interested in certain goods and effects, to postpone the sale of that property until the Ist of June. The executors under the will by which the plaintiff claimed had appointed the sale of these goods, consisting of furniture, carriages, horses, hot-house plants, At. on the 30th inst. To this there were two objections, as stated by the Learned Counsel: first, the Kingston Assizes were held on that very day, by which means the gentlemen would be unable to to attend the sale ; and next, the weather was so cold and unpro mising, that the ladies would rather be sitting by the fire-side than attending the sale. Thus the property would tie sacrificed. The property to be sold was at Woodford-house, situated three miles from Croydon, and seven miles from Kingston. The effects were extremely valuable, and no reason could be assigned by the trustees (except their own inclination) why the sale should not be postponed until the Ist of June. Such postponement would be to the &dean., rage of all parties, and could possibly injure none. Mr. Rose and Mr. Kent, on behalf of the executors, opposed the motion. By the will, a discretionary power was vested in the trustees as to the time when the sale rhoulo take place, and, in the exercise of that discretion, they had appointed the 30th of March. The plaintiffs were not the only partici interested in the sale of the effects, and there appeared to be no ground for the postponement. An order had been already obtained relative to the question now at issue, and the Learned Counsel was surprised that the present mo tion had been made. Mr. KNIGHT denied that any order had been drawn up. By matter of arrangement it had been withdrawn. Mr. Ross produced the 014 LT, drawn up in regular form and signed by the Register. There had been no arrangement out of Court. Mr.Kitronr said he was never more surprised at any proceeding in Isis life, and regretted that such a course had been taken. If these things were allowed, there was an end of all eonfidense be tween Counsel. This order might have been drawn up but it was behind his back, and no notice whatever had been given. On his part, he was surprised how any party could bind himself to such a proceeding. %tr. Rose submitted that the proceeding was perfectly fair, awl denied any arrangement out of Court. Mr. Ksitonte, in his reply, read the affidavit in support of the motion, and regretted the necessity of doing so. The course taken on the other side had, however, compelled it. These affidavits showed that there had been some difference' between the parties, which were always better kept out of Court. The learned Counsel left the ease in the hands of the Court, being con fident that it would not allow valuable property to be thus thrown away. Ihe VICE CHANCZLLOR directed a reference to the Masters to ascertain when it would be most fit for the sale to take place. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, MAacrs 22. Frederick Haldane, a clerk in the East India House, with a salary of 1801. a year, was brought up on his petition to be dis. charged front debts amounting to between 2,0001. and 3,0001. all of which were contracted within live years. No creditor appeared to oppose the insolvent's application but he was treverthelaut subjected to a rigid inquiry by Mr. Commis. sioner Harris, who, addre.sing the insolvent, said, " And so you have got into debt 2,7001. and have nothing to show for it ?" Insolvent--" Yes, Sir ?". _ Commissiowza—Now be so good as to inform us by what means you have got rid of 1,7001. of your creditors' money ? Insolvent—l paid 1201. for the lease of my house, and 1 laid out 1001. more upon it. I have also signed some accommodation bills. The Insolvent proceeded to state, that he had raised money by way of annuity, chargeable upon his salary, tor which he paid 11 pa cent. and after various deductions, he only received 140 E for 3001. ! The Constisatoxra said, that the conduct of the insolvent had been inexcusable ; the Court would, therefore, remand him, in order to ascertain how he stands with the East India Company— because, wore he still in a condition to receive his salary, the Court would know how to appropriate a portion of it.—Adjourned.

The sentence of the Court for the second offence, to which you have pleaded guilty, is, that you be transported foe 7 years, to commence from the expiration of the former sentence.

The three men, Simpson, Peacock, and Tomer, charged with having committed a burglary in the house of Messrs. Ellis and Co. wholesale druggists, in Upper Thames.streer, were yesterday put to the bar for final examination. White, who was a porter, and who also underwent examination, was upon this occasion received as a witness. The LORD MAYOR fully committed Simpson, Peacock, and Tanner for the burglary. Brown, the servant maid to Peacock, and Peacock's son, who had been both brought up with the other pri. soners on the final examination, were discharged. A person of respectable appearance was charged by bis mother, who Is 80 years of age, with having sold out, without her permis sion, the sum of 100/. part of 4001. 4 per cents. which she had given him a power of attorney to receive. The son declared, that he had detected a vile conspiracy to de. fraud him and his sister, and had, therefore resorted to a justifiable expedient to retain a part of the property to which he had a claim. The LORDIIIATOIL remanded the case. GUILDHALL James Matthews, about l 0 years of age, who had served about three years as an apprentice with Messrs. Wilkinson, the cabinet makers on Ludgate-hill, was yesterday charged with stealing some articles of brass which are used in the business. He was committed for trial BOW-8 rKEET. A young man of respectable ap ce, whose name we put.- poeely omit, because he most ly was not guilty of the crime imputed to him, appeared yesterday before Sir R. Btaxtz, charged with having picked the pocket of a gentleman named nut, of a pocket handkerchief, in that notorious house opposite the entrance into this office, yclept " The Star Coffee.house," against which informations have been so uselessly exhibited, in consequence of the delicacy of the Magistrates in not hating inflicted the full penalty for the violation of the law established against the defen dan t on each occasion. Mn Fiott stated that he belonged to the Royal Navy, and was staying at the Taviatock HoteL About half.paat three o'clock that morning, he accidentally went into the Star Coffeehouse to get a glass of brandy and water, and while enjoying his grog, some one called out that there were thieves in the room. This intimation induced him to rise from his seat, in order to leave the house, but he had scarcely got upon his legs, before he felt a jerk at his pocket, and, on turning round, saw his pocket handkerchief in the pri soner's hand. He (Mr. Fiott) immediately called for the proprietor of the room to send for the police, but that individual peremptorily refused to do any such thing. The police, however, were ailed in, and the prisoner was given into their custody. Sir R. Blame expressed the surprise which he felt at finding that a person of Mr. Fiott's rank in life should enter such a house as the Star Coffite-house. - _ After having heard the statement of the young man,Sirßtc HARD ordered him to be discharged, and an information to be laid against the house. 1 BIAHLBOROUOILSTREET. _ . Tue New Poerce.—Yesterday two young men, of the names of London and Tennant, were brought before Mr. Roc by the police constable No. 62, division D, charged with assaulting him in the execution of his duty. The constable deposed, that about two o'clock on Saturday morn. ing he was on duty in Leicester-square. While attending to his duties be met the two prisoners, both of whom were in liquor, when me of them knocked him down. He begged of them to go about their business ; this, however, they refused to do, and began to use the meet abusive language possible. Finding that they were de em:bed not to follow his advice be was obliged to take the two plasm, into custody. Mr. Roe inquired of the prisoners what they had to say to die charge ? • Landon replied, that he had lately come to town, and upon Saturday evening he called upon an acquaintance, and they then went to a public-house, where they remained till one o'clock. On leaving the house they proce ed ed through Leicester-square, and while they were walking a lon g the police.coustable came up and knocked him down. Upon remonstrating with the constable he was taken to the watchhouse. A person of the name of Fordo here came forward and stated that the police-constable, without any provocation, knocked Landon down. On seeing this he went to the watchhouse to make a tom plaint to the Inspector relating to the conduct of the constable, but instead of being heard the defendants were pushed down into a cell, and he desired to go about his business. He stated that he had been grossly insulted, but none of those that were in the watchhouse would hear a word he had to say. Tennant, in his defence, admitted being In company with Landon, and corroborated the charge of assault which the police-constable had node on his friend. Mr. Roc inquired if they were in liquor. The inspector replied in the affirmative, and which the two du. fondants admitted. Landon was then ordered to pay a fine of 6t. folk being drunk and Tennant was discharged. Two young men were charged with having committed a shrift offence in Regentatreet. The constable deposed, that on Saturday night he observed the two defendants in Regent-street, and upon looking at them the de fendants came up and asked him what he meant by looking at then. p at the same time they seised hold of his collar, and used the moat revolting language he ever heard. Crawford, one of the defendants, denied the charge in Me. The facts of the case were as follow :—He and his friend had junto:sued into Regentatreet, when they were met by the policeoonstable, wise lastandy put his lantern into his face. Surprised at such conduct. he asked the complainant the reason for so doing. and at an answer be had the lantern forced a second time in his face. Finding the complainant was determined to annoy him in this way, he in. formed him that he should go to the watchhouse and make a complaint. He and his friend accordingly proceeded towards the station, and had nearly reached it, when the complainant requested them not to go. They, however expressed their determination to complain, when, just as they had gained the door, the police seised hold of them, and forced them in, and before they could speak a single sentence they were forced down into one of the cells, and although they used their utmost exertions to have their complaint heard they were unsuccessful. The constable admitted that he had held up his lantern once, by seeing them turn out of a mews. A long discussion took place between the magistrate and the in 9ector, which was ended by Crawford being fined two shillings and sixpence, and his companion paying his discharge. UNION-HALL - - - - - - NEW Por.tet.—Uponlnspectorilanning. of the M. division, applying for a warrant, to authorise some of the police to make a search io a house where it was understood that a quantity of stolen property was concealed, the following discussion took place : ' Mr. Commons said that he had great objections to granting search.warrants, unlace they were to be executed by some of the officers of the Union-hall establishment; moreover, Mr. Phillips the under secretary of state, had told him that it was not the wish of the ministers thaeituch instruments should be given to the new police, as it would materially interfere with their other duties ; therefor sail warrants were to boomed and executed as usual by the old officers. Mr. Dowling observed that the commissioners themselves had come to the determination of granting warrants in cases of refusal by the magistrates when applied ter by the new police. Mr. CliAllleall replied that in that case there would be some 1 difficulty experienced, as by the tenure of the warrant it was set forth that the parties apprehended upon were to be brought before the Magistrate whose name was attached to It, consequently the offenders must be taken to be examined before the commissioners. The worthy magistrate said he had no objection to allow one of the Union-hall officers to accompany the police to make the search, and wished that the matter about granting warrants to the new police might be brought to a proper understanding.. Here the metier ended. The warrant was afterwards given to Skillern. one of the estab.. Belmont, to make the necessary search. QUEEN-SQUARE. Two lads, named Joseph and Edward Still, were charged with stealing two Id. Bank of England Dotes. On the 11 th ir.stant the son of Mr. Covington. coal merchant, of the Adelphi. was sent to Messrs. Cockburns, of Whitehall, to get a 10t. ci.eck cashed. On his way back his pocket was picked of the money. On Air. Co. vington advertislapt the loss, a porter, named Jones, belonging to the Oolden-cross, Charing.ctoss, waited upon him, and informed him that he bad changed the noels in question. Jones stated. that on the afternoon of the robber y the prisoner*. whom he sligh tl y knew. came to him, and asked him if he could get a ES note changed P The prisoner Edward said the note belonged to his master, Mr. He of the klecheques-office. Witness took the we to th e book. keeper and got it ehanged,and gave the bi. to gilward,who asked him to get another bi.note changed toads mother.who was going to pay her rent. Witness took the note to Mr. Murky's, the landlord of the Coach and Bones. in St. Martin's-lane, and got it changed. Jones decimated that the prisoners only gave him for his trouble, sixpence and a glass of rum and water. Mr. Morley said, that when Janes finalist to him for change, he a said it was for a gentleman's servant who was going into the coun try, and they could not change it at the booking-Ohm The book-keeper said, that when Jones obtained change of the ,Eli note, he said it was for a gentleman whom he well knew. Mr. Gaut:mat E remanded the prisoners, and observed that this was the second time notes had been changed at the Golden Cross. and he hoped the proprietor would prevent such practices in future. BATTLE OF PINKIE. The English army occupied the crest of a sloping hill, on the southern side of the Esk, above Pinkie: that of Scot. land, arranged in three large bodies, chiefly consisting of spear. men, having crossed the river, began slowly to ascend the ac clivity. The English cavalry charged with fury on the fore. most mass of smumen, but were received so firmly by the Scot. tish phalanx, tUt they were beaten of with considerable loss. It is said that this commencement of the battle appeared so ominous to Somerset, that he called for guides, and was about to order a retreat. His secret rival, and, as he afterwards proved, his mortal enemy, Dudley Earl of Warwick, entertained better hopes, and directly commenced a flank fire with the cannon of the army and the arquebusea of the foreign mer cenaries on the thick body of speannen. Angus, by whom the Scottish vanguard was commanded, endeavoured to change his position, to avoid the cannonade. About the same time some Highlanders of the second division had broken their order, to hasten to the spoil, so that their irregular appearance, with the retrograde movement of Angus, communicated a panic to the Scottish army, who thought they were routed. At this decisive moment the Earl of Warwick, who had rallied the English cavalry, brought them again to the charge, and introduced among the disordered forces of the Scots that terror which he had failed In producing upon these masses while they maintained their ranks. The numerous army of the Scots fled in total and ir. remediable confusion. Thus ended the battle of Pinkie, without either a long or bloody conflict. But the English horsemen, in. cursed at the check which they received in their first onset, pursued the chase almost to the gates of Edinburgh with unusual severity ; and as many of the fugitives were drowned in the Esk, which we* swelled with the tide, the lo .lif the Scots in the battle and Sight amounted to ten thousand men. The whole apace between the field of battle and the capital was strewed with dead bodies, and with the weapons which the fugitives had thrown away in their flight.— Dr. Lardiser's Cabbie Cyolopedia, Vol. IV. being Sir Walter Scoffs History of Scotland, Vol. 11. A singular fracas took place during the hours of business at our public office, on Monday last. Two of the senior law authorities—not law dispensers--practising under the magis trates, in their race for business, fell out by the way, and in the end one took the unwarrantable liberty of pulling the other by the nose or ear—report gives it both ways. The true particulars will be disclosed, and by us reported, when the promised ac tion rs of assault and battery is tried.— flientirmhasi Journal. SAVAGE OUTRAG E AND MURDER.—On Sunday morning a great disturbance occurred amongst the Irish coal. whippers and ballast-heavers, in Ratcliffe, near Shadwell Church, and after it had in some degree subsided, an Irish ballast-heaver, named Mooney, quarrelled with an unoffsnding Englishman who was standing by, and having knocked hint down by a violent blow oh his head, trampled upon him and kicked him in a most savage manner. The unfortunate Englishman was picked up by some persons passing, and conveyed to Limehouse Workhouse, where he died soon atter. Mooney was for a short time in the custody of a policeman, but he contrived to escape, and has not since been heard of. Bo RGLA R .—The three men, Simpson, Peacock, and Tanner, who were charged with committing the robbery in the house of Messrs. Ellis and Co. the druggists, in Upper Thames. street, were yesterday again examined at the Mansion House. White, the porter, who was charged with being a party to the rob. beer, was admitted a witness. Hills of exchange to the amount of between 2,0001. and 3,0001, had been stolen, amongst other pro. pasty, one of which for 4U. Fis. was presented for payment by Pea. cock's sou, a little boy, and led to the apprehension of the pri. loners. In Simpson's house several skeleton Iteys and house. breaking implements were found. Tanner had been in the employment of the firm. White stated, that between seven and eight o'clock on the evening of Saturda the Gth of March, as he washome, he was stopp ed in Great Knight Rider.street, going ors' Commons, by Peacock, who asked him to go to a house with him to de a job. lie refused to accompany Pea. cock, who threatened him if he petsisted in his refusal. He then saw Peacock join with Simpson, Tanner, and another person, and Peacock handed them parcels, the contents of which jingled like keys. They then went in the direction of Messrs. Ellis's ware. house. Peapack, Shaman, and the other man, then entered Messrs.
