The LORD CHANCELLOR, at the sitting of C.. _ delivered the following judgment—The plaintiff in this case complained by his bill, that a deed, executed in 1812, had been departed from. By that deed certain debts ai.d charges of the Theatre were directed to be discharged in a particular course of payment. The plaintiff complained that tt e rents and profits of the Theatre had been misapplied, and had not been applied to the particular course so marked out; and it was prayed that certain accounts might be taken by the Master, and also that the Court would order a sale of the property. The Master of the Rolls (then Vice Chancellor), before whom this matter was originally heard, directed several inquiries before the Master.— First, whether any of the debts of the theatre remained unsatisfied, and if so, to what extent? Second, whether any parts of the rents and profits of the theatre, appli cable by the deed of 1812, had been misapplied ? Third, if misapplied, by whom the misappLeation had been made? Fourth, supposing they had been so diverted, whether it had been with the consent and approbation of any of the parties to the deed of 1812 ? And fifthly, whether any of the debts enumerated in the schedule, annexed to the deed of 1812, had been defrayed out of any other fund, and in what manner, and to what ex tent ? His Lordship thought his Honour had been right in making these directions; but it was said that the Master of the Rolls ought to have gone on to direct a sale of the property. There was nothing to satisfy him (the Lord Chancellor) of the necessity of such a sale. With respect to the general accounts, he was satisfied that it would be snore convenient that the pre. sent inquiry should, in the first instance, proceed. Under these circumstances, be thought the decree of the Master of the Rolls ought to be affirmed. -*- tr y P' IGENCE. .1 • CERY, JULY 4. -04 . ‘ cars • • • • TXRATREIUGDAIRNT• • • &RIM 1 0. HARRIS. Thfr LORD CHANCELLOR. at the sitting of the Court, LEMBLZ AND OTHERS V. HARRIS AND CONST. Mr. PEPYS presented a petition on behalf of Messrs. Kemble, Willett, and Forbes, the present Managers and Directors of Covent-garden Theatre, praying that a sum of about 7,0001. be paid out of a fund of 20,0006. now in the hands of the Court. This sum of 7,0001. now required, was made up of three different sums—first, the amount due to the Duke of Bedford, the ground landord, for a year and three-quarters rent ; next, a sum of 2,2001. which had been advanced by the petitioners cut of their own pockets for necessary expenses; and, thirdly, 1,1001. which the Master had allowed to the Receiver, Mr. Robertson, he having an increase of salary of two hundred and fifty pounds for the last five years, with a iew deductions. The Learned Gentleman entered into rather a minute detail of the various pecuniary affairs of the Theatre, more especially during the ma. nagement of Messrs. Kemble, Willett and Forbes, and showed that some very large advances had been made by those Gentlemen, for the greater portioc of which they were completely out of pocket. Besides a sum of 22,0001. of old debts paid out of the produce of the Theatre, from May, 1822, to June, 1824., a sum of 20,0001. had been paid into Court out of their own pockets; and it was out of this sum the petitioners were desirous their expenses should be defrayed. It was ob vious that the affairs of the Theatre could not go on urless the rent was paid to the Duke of Bedford, by whom an action of ejectment had been brought; and it was equally clear that the performers, authors, and others, must be paid for their services rendered to the Theatre. The last sum of 1,1001. the Master had reported Mr. Robertson entitled to receive. Mr. PEMBERTON and Mr. Lorrus LOWNDES also supported the Petition. Mr. HORNE and Mr. BICEERSTZTH, on behalf of Mr. Const, regretted that this petition had been pre sented, because there was no ground for the applica tion, and the only effect of it was to increase the expense of the legal proceedings. With respect to the debt due to the Duke of Bedford, it was admitted that it ought tc be paid, nct, however, to the present petitioners (for who could tell that it would ever reach his Grace), but to the agent of the Duke himself. Why, the Learned Counsel asked, had not this rent been long since paid ? Why should the simple contract and other creditors have been paid before the ground landlord? This was surely a proof of great mismanagement. It was said that the Theatre produced no profit. It might be so; but what proof had been afforded to Mr. Coast of the fact? and if the fact were true, what proof had Mr. Const that such absence of profit was not owing to the mismanagement of the petitioners ? Mr. Const was only anxious as far as he could to protect the interests of the Theatre, and, in so doing, to protect his own. He was desirous that his small share in the concern should not become entirely wolthless through the mismanagement of these peti tioners. In conceding the payment of the rent to the Duke of Bedford out of the fund in Court, Mr. Const was conceding much, and it was hoped that the Court would at once refuse the prayer of the petition as to the other charges. There was no pretence for their al. lowance until the matter had been inquired into by the Master. By the judgment this morning given by his Lordship, that inquiry had been instituted, and the whole subject would be placed under proper investiga tp,n. When the Master had made his report, there would be time enough to make these allowances. The LORD CHANCELLOR asked whether the petitioners d,J not ask for inquiry ? Mr. LOWNDES replied in the affirmative as to the two latter sums mentioned in the petition. Mr. HORNE observed, that no further inquiry could possibly be ►equired than that which had already been du erred. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. JAMES appeared as Counsel for Mr. Hartis, and went over nearly the same grounds d 5 were touched upon by the Counsel for Mr. Const. If the ground landlord was to be paid (and that part of the petition was not objected to), it was highly desirable that it should be paid to the Duke's own agent, without passing through the hands of the petitioners. Nlr. JAMES contended that there was no pretence for incteasing the salary of Mr. Robertson. The LORD CHANCELLOR asked whether he filled any other character than receiver? Mr. LOWNDES replied that he filled other offices. Mr. JAMES supposed he was treasurer, box keeper, &c. but the treasurer of an empty excl►rquer could nct bi called upon for any great exertions. Mr. Robertson's salary was in the first inbtarce 2501. a year; that was afterwards increased to 4001. and now he had the modesty to ask for an increase of 2501. for the last five years. The Master, it was true, had thought proper to allow it, but that was no reason for its being pa►d out 01 the funds in Court. The LORD CHANCELLOR asked what objection there was to the 2,2001. required by the petition ? Mr. JAMES said, there was no proof that the money had been pAid. Mr. PRPT3 produced an affidavit, in which the fact was distinctly sworn. The different items were par ticularized with great exactness. The LORD CHANCELLOR asked what evidence Mr. James relied on? Mr. JAMES submitted that no fresh affidavits had been filed to meet this motion. This was not the first time this application had been made. The question had al ready been discussed, in one shape or other, five or six times. Mr. PEPTS replied at some length. With respect to the inquiry directed by the Master of the Rolls, and affirmed by his Lordship, it wholly related to the deed of 1812, and did not touch this question. It was there fore highly expedient that the inquiry now asked for should be made., He had no objection that the rent should be paid immediately to the agent of the Dike. The petitioners were only desirous that the money should be paid, and that without delay. It was a fact which could not be for a moment disputed, that the profits cf this Theatre were literally nothing. The LORD CHANCELLOR asked whether this might not be fairly imputed to the mismanagement of the pe titioners? liiiiiiIMIIMINNIIMINI Mr. PEPYS replied, that not a word had been al tempted to be proved to that effect, nor did he think the other side could persist in the assertion. Mr. Const had been repeatedly invited to aid in the management of the Theatre, and he had invariably refused. The peti tioners were anxious to protect the interests of all parties, and by their exertions to brighten the prospect which now appeared so gloomy and overcast. The LORD CHANCELLOR directed the immediate pay ment of the rent out of the funds in Court, to the agent of the Duke of Bedford. He wo'ld read the affidavits, and consider the remainder of the petition. His Lordship then proceeded with the Appeals on the paper of the day. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Jon , 4. JUDGMENT-THE ICING V. ATTO. Mr. BOLLAND prayed the judgment of the Court upon John Atte, who had pleaded guilty to an indictment under the Statute, preferred against him by the Apo thecaries' Company, for exhibiting a forged certificate to entitle him to practise, he not having completed a five years' apprenticeship, as required by the Statute. The defendant, who appeared upon the floor of the Court, put in an affidavit in mitigation, declaring his ignorance of the rule respecting time when he had articled himself, and that he had been induced to pass his examination by means of the forged certificate, in order to relieve his mother from the expense the had been at in supporting him. The affidavit concluded by an expression of contrition, and the defendant threw himself on the mercy of the Court. The ATTORNEY GENERAL, for the prosecution, did not offer any thing in aggravation. It was not the wish of the Apothecaries Company to press for excessive punishment on any individual, but they had a duty to perform on behalf of the public which they could not neglect. Mr. Justice BAYLEY pronounced the judgment of the Court—Six months' imprisonment in the Castle of Lincoln, and to be committed forthwith to the custody of the Marshal of the King's Bench. TOMKINS W. SAVORY. Lord TENTERDEN read his notes of this case, from which it appeared that it was an action tried before him at Guildhall, to recover a sum of 2101. The plain. tiff employed the defendant, a broker, to purchase for him some shares in the Imperial Continental Gas Company. The defendant purchased them, and represented that 81. had been already paid on them. When called on to pay another instalment, he asked for a receipt from the bankers for the 81. but they said that only 51. had been paid on each of the shares, and that they would not give a receipt for the other 31. The plaintiff then applied to the defendant to inform him who was the principal from whom he had purchased the shares, that he might re cover the difference on each, between .51. and 81. The defendant, it was stated, said at one time that he did not know, and at another time that he would not tell. The plaintiff then brought his action against the defendant himself, as it he had been the principal. It was con tended for the defendant that the shareholders were aware that an arrangement was made in favour of the Directors, among whom wereGoldsmidt arid Montefiore, for their trouble and charges in negotiating with the Continental Powers, for the exclusive privilege, in be half of the Company, of lighting their principal cities with gas. A premium of 31. per cent. on each of the shares held by them should be allowed in their favour ; and that they should, on paying 51. to the bankers for the first instalment, be considered as having paid 81. All other shares were sold in the market at 81. and when the Directors brought their shares into the mar ket, they, of course, sold at the same price as the others, but it made no difference to the persons holding or buying shares, whether they were Directors' shares or not; because all the shares paid 81. and it was the same thing to these persons, whether they paid the SI. to the Bank or to the Directors. Lord Tenterden, at the trial, appeared to be of this opinion, and asked Mr. Gurney, the Counsel for the plaintiff,whether he would be called. Mr. Gurney went to the Jury, and the plair.tiff had the verdict for the 2101. The ATTORNEY GENERAL obtained a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a nonsuit entered, or a new trial granted. The only point on which Mr. Gurney dwelt in his speech to the Jury was, the refusal of the defendant to discover the principal from whom he purchased the shares ; and he contended that the defendant himself must be con sidered as the principal, and in this way it had been put to the Jury by the Judge. But, in reality, it signified nothing at all whether the defendant was the principal or not, the only point being, whether the plaintiff had been damnified and put on a worse footing than the other shareholders. For the reason which he had already stated, it was manifest that the plaintiff had not been damnified. The 31. was merely a bonus given to the Directors, at the expense of the whole company, and in point of fact, the Directors abandoned even this ad. vantage, and paid up their full instalments, as well as the rest of the shareholders, on finding that the shares hid fallen in the market, from use re-action that took place. But this Company had survived the period which was so disastrous to many Joint Stock Companies, and was now in active operation in lighting with gas several of the principal Continental cities. It was rather un fortunate that his Lordship had acted on his first idea, and nonsuited the plaintiff. Mr. GURNEY showed cause against the rule, but Lord TENTERDEN said, that if he had misdirected the Jury that was a ground for a new trial, and not for a nnnsuit; but the case must go to a new trial. Rule absolute for a new trial. PREROGATIVE COURT, JuLy 4. IN THE GOODS OF FRANCIS HORNIIY, DICRAZID. Di. Jams ADAMS said the testator in this case, Mr. Francis Hornby, of the Strand, died in Match last, leaving a widow and eight children. Shortly after his decease, a paper, in the nature of a testamentary docu. meet, but without any date, or a subscribing witness, was found in his desk, by which his property was be. qneathed to his family, and his widow was appointed executrix. Although there was no date to it, and it was not a regularly executed will, the water mat k in the paper was "1829," and in several conversations with his widow and one of his daughters, he expressed himself, before his death, that he had " made all right," alluding to his property and his probable decease. The Learned Counsel, under these circumstances, prayed that probate of this paper, as deceased's will, might issue to his widow. Sir JOHN NICHOLL said, though the paper was in an unfinished state, yet the circumstances were sufficient for him to grant prcbate to the widow, and the Learned Judge decreed accordingly. THE BLACKHEATH MURDER. FUNERAL OF MARIA Lssmounar.—Saturday mops ing, numbers of the inhabitants of Blackheath, Lewis ham, Greenwich, and the places adjacent, assembled about the house of Mr. Davidson, the Yorkshire Grey, Limekilns, to witness the funeral of the deceased woman. About four, all being in readiness, the procession set out towards Greenwich Church. It moved on at a very slow pace, and upwards of 1,000 persons were assembled. On reaching the but ial-ground the corpse was met by the Rev. Mr. Matthew, the Vicar, who read the Funeral Service, after which the coffin was consigned to the grave. Mr. Davidson, the late masts of the deceased, although he did not follow as chief mourner, attended to see the body safely deposited. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The interest excited by the match was beyond all precedent, and a new boat was built expressly for the Guards. The fast-rowing boat, the Arrow, was put into proper trim for the London Gentlemen, and active training was commenced some time previous to the match taking place. Four out of eight Gentlemen were picked from the Guards, and the boats were manned as follows— GUARDS AMATEURS. •111011 CL lE. Captain Bentinck U Slader Viscount Chetwynd Mr. Bayford Lord Douglas Mr. Cannon Culouel Hobhouse I Mr. Osbaldestone Bramwell, Steerer. Mitchell, Steerer. Some time before the start, notwithstanding the pitiless storm, a considerable number of Noblemen and Gentlemen Amateurs coo ' gregated at Vauxhall, and about 20 Companies' boats were out on the occasion. A little before four the start took place, the Arrow leading the way, and at Battersea were four boats length ahead of their opponents, finally arriving at Kew Bridge 50 seconds before the Guards, accomplishing the distance, which is about 10 miles, in one hour and three minutes. About 20 Gentlemen on horse. back accompanied the match along the towing-path from Hammer. smith to the place of destination, and nothing could exceed the interest the contest appeared to excite in every countenance. Kew Bridge was lined with carriages and spectators. ILFRACOMBE, JUNE SO.—Lady Ettannonouon, who has been staying some weeks in this town with her brother, has just left, it is understood, to proceed to her uncle's, at Weymouth. From Manchester we hear that the export trade in yarns is now going on very briskly, but is chiefly con fined to low numbers, few of those exported exceeding 50 hanks in the pound. For common prints, and also stout printing cloths, there is a fair demand, though at very unprofitable prices; it is evident that the Germans require fewer of our piece goods every year, and more of our yarns, thereby intimating, in acts more expressive than language, that in a &twit time they will be able to supply themselves without purchasing our cloths. Power loam calicoes have not varied much in price of late; they are now selling at from 71. 9d. to about Bs.6d. per piece. Cambrics and jaconets are from 75.6 d. to Bs. 91, and some so high as 9s. Bolton fancy cottons are very dull ; some of the manufacturers are stopping their hands, and others chanßing them to courses of work less liable to risk. Gros de Naples and sarcenets of superior quality still keep on pretty well; other kinds of silks, such as handkerchiefs, shawls, turbans, &c. are very slack, and many of the workmen out of employ. Fustraas are also decidedly dull, few being disposed of, unless for the foreign market ; those being of the best quality, aad at very low prices. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Henry Stedman, au errand boy to Messrs. Morrison, St. Paul's Church-yard, tailors, was charged with stealing a blue coat, one silk and three Marcella waistcoats, and two pair of trawlers. Mr. Morrison stated, that he engaged the prisoner only three weeks ago, having a character from his previous situation, that he was honest and willing. He soon found out, however, that he would not suit him, and had given him a week's notice to seek em. ployment elsewhere, when on Friday Mrs. M. in moving a hat. box, which belonged to the prisoner, observed that it was very heavy, and (the servant being then in the room) examined the con. tents, which were the articles above enumerated, value about seven pounds. Martin, the officer, was called, to whom the prisoner acknow ledged that the articles belonged to his master, and he meant to carry them away to wear, as soon as he bad left Messrs. Morrison's. When called on for his defence, he did not know what to say. The AlJe:man committed him trial. The prisoner, who is about sixteen years of age, seemed quite unconcerned. HATTON-GARDEN. Ragas Healy, a tailor, who resided in Ormond-place, Little Or mond-yard, was examined on suspicion of wilfully setting fire to the house which he occupied. It appeared that on Sunday night, about eleven o'clock, the smell of fire was perceptible in the neigh. bourhood. The prisoner was asked for the key of his shop. At first he denied having it in his possession, but when he was told that the door would be broken open, he brought the key. On en. tering the shop, they found about two feet of the wainscot in a state of ignition, as well as a part of the floor. The place was at least four feet from the stove. One witness stated, that on the 7th of March last an alarm of fire, under similar circumstances, ec• curred in the prisoner's premises, and he at that time, as on this occasion, started objections to the persons who were attracted to the spot, being admitted to the apartment. Several witnesses proved that the prisoner repeatedly threatened to set fire to the house. Several persons stated, that on Thursday and Friday se nnight they heard the prisoner declare that he would set fire to the place, and" burn all the English heretics in it." One person stated, that on Friday the prisoner said, " He would set fire to the whole parish before he had done, and burn all the English heretics.' During the investigation the prisoner appeared very indifferent to his situation, and often broke in upon the order of the Office, by interrupting the examination of the witnesses by passing observa tions and making contradictions. In vain Mr. Laing called out " Silence, Sir—your time is not come yet." Still did the prisoner interfere, until he was told by Mr. Rogers that if he was not silent he should be removed until the evidence was taken. It ap. peared that the prisoner bad a few days previous to Sunday last removed some goods from his premises, among which was a lea thern trunk. The things were removed to his brother-in-law's, who, with some hesitation, consented to give them up. In the trunk were found three cannisters of gunpowder, and some shot. The prisoner accounted for this by saying that he bad lately mar. tied a wife from Greenwich, and that he intended to go to the country on a shooting excursion. He made no specific defence, but had repeatedly said he expected his Solicitor, and begged to be remanded.—He was remanded. M A RLBOROUG H-STREET. Saturday Totu Cannon, of the Castle Inn, Jermyn•street, was fined Si. for allowing cards to be played In his home. WORSHIP-STREET. Saturday a young woman, named Mary Thompson, was ebarged with breaking a watchman's arm. On the previous night the pri. loner treated a great disturbance in a public house, and the watch. man having beta called in to turn her out, she gave him a most violent blow on 64 arm, which snapped the bone in two. The witness who proved the cue, when asked if the prisoner had any thing in her hand when she struck, replied, " No, your Honour, nothing bat her tin." MART-LA•BONNE. Thomas and John Waiter, two young men, were charged with stealing 1504 belonging to Mr. Bunn, landlord of the Lord High Admiral public-husse, Church-street, Usson-grove. It appei.red that the prisoners visited the above house on Sunday, and dined there. They frequented the house every day from that time until Thursday. On Thursday John Walker asked Mrs. Bunn to change him four pounds worth of silver for sovereigns, and it Is supposed that the prisoners then discovered where the landlord's cash-box was placed. On Thursday they suddenly left the house, and shortly after their departure it was discovered that the cash-box had been forced open, and cash and notes to the amount of lea stolen. The prisoners were apprehended the next day at Fairlop Fair. They denied being the persons who had committed the robbery. They were remanded till Tuesday. UNION-HALL A dolman, named Dowle, in the employ of Mr. Wheeler, a linen draper, living in High-street,Newington, was fully committ ed to take his trial, charged with robbing his master under these cit.. The prisoner having been some time suspected of taking money from the till, it was suggested to the prosecutor to mark some money. He accordingly marked three half crowns, which were them given to a customer to go to the shop and purchase goods of the prisoner. The latter received the money so marked, and hay. ing supplied the articles, the customer went away. In the evening two of the marked half crowns were found in the till, and the third, on searching the prisoner, was found in his pocket. LA BIBETH-STREET. Saturday Elizabeth Briggs and her father, Thomas Briggs, were brought before Messrs. WYATT and HARDWICK, the Sitting Magis trates, for mud examination, the former charged with robbing her mistress, Mrs. Eliza Taylor, of Fleet-street, ten years ago, and the latter with receiving the property, knowing it to be Stolen. The cause of the apprehension of the two prisoners was in con. sequence of a family quarrel, when the father, from motives of re. venge, and not suspecting the consequences in which he involved himself, gave information that his own daughter had committed the robbery, the pewttration of which he had himself instigated, and the produce of which he had alone benehtted by. After a long investigation, both prisoners were fully committed to Newgate for trial at the next Sessions. HEDDOMADARY. Tnn DAT—Moon in apogee.
