The public breaks" at the White Lion Inn, adjacent to the birth-place of the great poet, exceeded all expec. tation in the number and respectability of the company. The great room was tastefully fitted up with evergreens, end the military band played the most favourite airs, overtures, fee. The arrangements and the refreshments were of the best description. Nearly all - the principal families of the tows and its vicinity is were pr pm t ' it esen, and at one time there were 250 pons the ris supposed, however, that nearly 400 breakfasted. The display of beauty and fashirm was most interesting. To the breakfast succeeded recitation and song. Mr. Bohm again spoke the address,written and recited by Mr.Seitha, en the previous day, at SHALSIMARI'S birth-place.— After this several comic and serious. songs were sung, and the assembly did not separate until one o'clock In the town and its neighbourhood rustic sports took place, and pries were assembled to celebrate •the Jo bike in every house, and strangers might be seen moving to the vat ions places consecrated by the memory stillitlinAlle. At the dinner last night many relics of &batman' were exhibited, such as goblets, drink ing cops, pipes, &c. all formed from the famous mul berry tree.—The pageant of Monday of the dramatic dancurs is the first which has ever been presented. hags to have been performed at GARRICK'S Jubilee, and all the preparations were made accordingly; but the morning proving rainy, it was obliged to be omitted. This is not generally known. THZ MASQUERADZ. This entertainment, apparently as attractive as any part . of the festival, commenced at seven o'clock, in a spactous oblong booth erected for the purpose, in the Ra ther market, and immediately opposite the Olympic Equestrian Circus. The interior of the booth was fitted up is the most splendid style, arid illuminated with many hundred variegated lamps in various devices; and the door chalked with mottoes. There again the same carouse and liberal arrangements were to be found, as have marked the whale of this memorable ceremonial. As might be expected, from the superior excellence of the pageant, the characters were most ably sustained; ;bey %ere principally from the plays of SHAISPAIIIII end the wit, repartee, humour, and deep feeling, dis played by many of the company, divested of the gross- DM and inanity of a London masquerade, was striking. When this report left, the public exhibition of film works was being displayed, bands of music parading the town, and groups of persons viewing the illumina tions, and surrounding the many places of amusement. We cannot conclude this article without again praising thennremitting exertions of the Committee and their Se may, in affording all requisite accommodation to the numerous visitors, or of expressing our gratification at the urbanity of the townspeople, whose conduct has not beet marked, notwithstanding the crowded state of the Borough, with that avaricious disposition so often evinced in exorbitant charges'cin similar occasions. On the third and last day (Wednesday) there will be a conceit in the morning, and a grand ball in the even ing, which will conclude the festival under the steward ship of F. CANNING, Esq. and the MATO& THE WEATHER. Yesterday another hail and snow storm passed over the western part of the metropolis about noon ; and; like that of Tuesday, did considerable damage to the fruit trees in blossom ; and so 'severe have been the two or three last nights, particularly Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, that, in the suburbs especially, there was ice on the Water. The fruit blossoms have, &en knocked off in considerable quantities, and what remains looks as if it bad closed again, so nipping have been the winds. EDINBURGH, APRIL 24.—The weather has again assumed the atpect of winter. Yesterday morning a MOW storm commenced from the eastward, and con tinued without intermission throughput the day. The adjacent country is covered with snow, to the depth of several inches ; and the trees and bushes, which within this last.fortnight had burst into leaf, and pre :Med the usual appearance of their green and tender foliage, are shrouded in the usual drapery of winter...- Towards evening the storm increased to a tempest. GLasoow, APRIL 24.—Yesterday it rained the whole day, accompanied by a fierce wind from the East. Dwaratas, APRIL 24.—Alter the mild genial weather as experienced in the beginning and middle of last week, and the heavy showers which fell on Friday, who could have supposed that we would be visited by another storm of snow ? Yet so it is, and we grieve to awe that yesterday was truly a judgment•like day. At "fatly hour in the•morniag the bills were all white — the cottages and farawsteadings hooded with snow. From eight till near eleven o'clock, the onfall ceased in 'a great m asuse, but shortly after it became rriore bitter than ever, and, at a late hour last night, the tops of the houses, even in town, were as white as ever we saw them in March. Menitiose.—At a most respectable Meeting, held on Monday 'week, the Paovose in the Chair, Resolutions were adopted fur the form at i on o f a G as Company. The expense of the neces sary erections, exclusive of the price of the ground and other diaries, Is estimated at £3,450, and the annual expenditure at stout £470. It is calculated that the subscribers will draw a yearly revenue of upwards of £l,OOO. Neatly one half of the shares was sabinibed for before the Meeting separated. lurauxsitLoit.—Alexander Macintosh, sheep gra zier at Fergus, parish of Gleniala, when removing his sheep from ''e hill to their winter quarters at West ilduirhoise„ in this parish, r , er having been a day on the road, was overtaken by the storm in Nsvember last, which burled the greater part of his sock under the Pow. With great exertion he recovered all that he supposed were il lvt% and resumed his journey, having lost upwards of a score. utter an absence of thirty-seven days, on his way back to Glenida, <snooty prompted him to take a look at the place where he had lest his aticep ; and to his astonishment he discovered a ram under ° l' low, still alive.

During the last summer, they were principally em ployed of the Scottish shores, and ansong the Orlon and Shetland Islands.

CORONERS' INQUESTS. Yesterday an Inquest was held by T. STlaLtma, Esq. Coroner, at the sign of the Black Lion, Castle-street, Bloomsbury, on view of the body of Charles Pa'free man, a remarkably athletic and fine young man, aged ' 21, latra servant in the employ of Messrs. Currie and Co. distillers and rectifiers, ice. who died under the fal lowing circumstances: It appeared by the evidence, that on Monday, about one o'clock; the deceased left his wink to go to his din ner, at the residence of his mother, in Brewer-street, a short distance from the premises of his employers in Vine-street ;• he appeared to be in his usual state of health, and previously to his sitting down to dinner, retired to the water-closet; his long stay caused some uneasiness to his mother, and led to his being found in a state of inanimation, from which the efforts of the lodgers in the house being unable to arouse him, me. dical assistance was applied fix, and Mr. Edward Ever shead, a pupil of Mr. Ireland's, promptly attended, and attempted to bleed him, but without effect, the vital spark having: fled, and the deceased being nearly cold. Mr. Charles Gordon Ireland, of Hart -street, Blooms. bury, surgeon, deposed, that about half past three o'clock on Monday afternoon he went and saw the de ceased at his mother's house; he was laid out in a re= gular manner in the parlour, and appeared to have been a'very fine powerful young man of full habit ; bad subsequently, upon the deceased's friends consulting him, opened the body; upon examining the head found the brain inflamed, and considerably more than the usual quantity of water, but nothing sufficient to ac count for his death. On opening the stomach and abdomen, I found the liver in a state of enlargement, and the whole of the abdominal viscera inflamed • the large lobe of the liver had been lacerated, and a large blood vessel separated; hemorrhage had ensued, and the stomach contained a large quantity of coagulated blood ; the liver was in a state of ulcerated disease, par ticularly the pant where the artery had been sepat ated. The Jury returned a verdict—Died by the Visitation of GOD. Yesterday, an Inquest was held at the Blade-Bone, Compton-street, Seven Dials, on the body of John Corman, aged thirty-two who was killed by the falling in of a common sewer in that neighbourhood, while employed in excavating the same, an Monday last—Verdict, Accidental Death.

The foundation stone of St. EROCiI'S Church, Glas gow, was laid on Thursday by the Magistrates and Council. Yesterday, as a young man, servant to Mr. Sturge, cheesembnger, at Walwortb, was passing the end of Poplar-row, in the Kent road, a horse, in a light cart, took fright at the barking of a dog; when the young mum, in attempting to stop it, was thrown down, and the wheel passing over one of his legs, fractured it in a dreadful. manner.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. WORT OF CHANCERY. Aram 2S. the LORD CHANCELLOR attended in his private room to•duy. IN THE MATTER 07 LOED PORTSMOUTH, A LUNATIb: Mr. Pares stated; that this was a Petition praying a reference to the Master to inquire and report to the Cow the best mode of raising a sufficient sum out of the property of the lunatics, to pay off certain debts; due on account of costs, &c. The Petition stated, that the lunatic's income was 14,0001. a year ; the allowance for his income, and the support of his establishment, was 2,5001. a year ; there were debts due from his Lordship, incurred between the time of his return from Edinburgh 'and the appointment of the Committee, to the amount of 4,0001. other debts unpaid, 16,0001. the Petitioner's costs ender the commission amounted to 19,0001. and the costs due to the Solicitors who conducted the de. fence to the issuing of the commission was 2,5001. It farther stated, that by the sale of part of the property, consisting of an annuity of 4,0001. a year for the life of the lunatic, the sum of 28,0001. might be raised ; that 8,0001. might be raised by the renewal of fines ; that a debt due from Mr. Alder of 1,5001. could be recovered'; that 1,2001. were in the hands of Mr. Robins, and 2,0001. in the hands of the trustees. It appeared, in the end, that the sum said to be immediately chargeable on the property was 43,0001. and a fraction, and that which might be raised to pay the sum off was 40,000 1 . and a fraction. The costs of carrying on the proceedings in the Ec clesiastical Court was sought to be paid off equally wish the other debts and costs incurred under the commission. Mr. HORN', on behalf of the Committee of the luna- tic, did not object to the sale of the annuity for payment of the debts; but he did object to any provision being made for costs in the Ecclesiastical Court. The debts mast be paid first, and then the costs of the commission. After considerable discussion between Counsel, of which, as it took place round his Lordship's table, it was impossible to collect the purport accurately. The LORE CHANCELLOR declined to make any order to postpone the claims of the creditors without their consent. They had a right to call for the payment of their demands if they thought proper; and under the circumstances here, the only order he would make was, to refer it to the Master to advertise for creditors to come ia, and then to inquire what arrangement could be suggested for the payment of all claims which the creditors would consent to? His Lordship, upon being told that the petitioners would 'prefer having the peti tion dismissed, observed, that he himself was dismissed. The petition, however, might stand over, if the parties liked. JUDGMENTS. Mr. SUDDEN mentioned a case which only stood for his reply, which, in compliance with the wish of the parties, he entreated an opportunity of making, pro- mising at the same time that it should be very short. The LORD CHANCILLOR said, he would hear him on Friday. Mr. HART stated, that the patties in this case would the glad to have his Lordship's judgment whenever it might be his convenience to give it. Mr. SWORN made an observation to the same effect. The Lotto CHANCELLOR—Then I will do so. I cannot expect Counsel to contend for parties, nor can I expect that alt the parties themselves will consent to the mode I have suggested of giving judgments; but all I mean to say is, that all cases parties may please to leave to me to dispose of in judgment, after I leave this (for it will be impassible for me to get through all in the short time I can remain here), I shall not only be happy, but consider it my duty, to do so; and it will ba a great convenience to me if parties will have the goodness to intimate to me in what cases they will thus' consent. Mr. Agar set up a kind of statute of limitations for me, limiting me to next Michaelmas Term to get through all my judgments. Now, I do not require quite, so much time as that, although I do not wonder at his giving it to me, considering that, perhaps, I have been rather long about some things. However, I will un dertake to do nothing till I have gone through all the cases the parties may have the goodness to leave to me to dispose of ; and 1 have no doubt, from looking at my bundle of papers, which is pretty large, that I shall be able to gm through the whole in three weeks ,or a month. It certainly will be a vast convenience to me, if the parties will let use know what cases they will leave me to dispose of. Mr. SUDDEN said he would communicate With his clients, and let his Lordship know the result. Mr. HEALD was surprised that parties had not come forward with more activity than they had, to express their feelings on this point, considering bow often the proposition had been reiterated by his Lordship. For his own part, he could only say, that but one clitnt had spoken to him on the subject, and that that Gentle man objected to the proposition. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Let it not be understood that I shall have any unpleasant feelings towaids such as may refuse to leave their cases to me to dispose of in the way I have suggested; for very probably something may have fallen from me in the course of the hearings that might make A think I liked B's case better than his, and therefore, very naturally, A may not chooseto leave the case to me to dispose of. I should object to it myself if f were in A's place; but in those cases in which no intimation has been given of my impression, I shall be greatly obliged to the parties to let me know what I have now so repeatedly asked for. His LORDSHIP subsequently stated that it would be quite impossible to dispose of all his judgments before he went out of office, but unless they made quicker work with him than he at present anticipated, he should not be able before then to get through all those cases in which, from his having already intimated his opi nion, he' had resson.to suppose that some of the pasties would not consent to his pronouncing judgment after he should hate quitted office. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL O. LORD MANSFIELD. The LORD CHANCELLOR promised to dispose of this case on Friday next. GLASSINOTON D. rawAtves. The 'LORD CHANCILLOR said, he did not know what to do in this case, unless he were to nullify all the pro. ceedings esdept the bill ; or it he dismissed the bill, it should be without prejudice to the filing of a new one. With respect - to the costs, he wished to know if there was any objection to his waiting on the back of each ,01 these singular proceedings what ought to be done with theni? . Mr. ROI:PRI, said, Mr. Glassiugton had no objection. The LORD CHANCRLLOR said he would adopt that course. -He hoped he should never again see alms of such another case.

Hatlewoocl and Mayhew. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Arab. 29. THE EAST LONDON te l / 4 ,ITER-WORICS COMPANY 9.2.lltLiit . AND aniline. Mr. Sergeant TiDDIf stated, that the plaintiffs in this case sought to recover a sum of 850 i. which they had lost in consequence of an alleged breach of Contract on the puttof the defendants. In February, 1824, a con: tract was entered into, by which the defendants were to supply the Conipiny with from 10,000 to 16,000 yards of iron pipe, to be delivered to order at such time as the plaintiffs should think proper. The first order was iven in the September following, and was for 9.600 yards, which was supplied. At this time the defend. ants wrote to the plaintiffs, requesting them, if pos sible, to postpone any further order at that time, as they were put to a great inconvenience from a general torn• out of. their workmen. The plaintiffs, therefore, did not give an order for the remainder of the pipe 'until April 1825; when the defendants refused to supply it, on the ground that an unreasonable time had elapsed since the data of the contract. In consequence of this, the plaintiffs had been compelled to go elsewhere to purchase pipe, which had considerably risen in price, and they had actually paid 8501. more for 0,400 yards, which was the quantity that had not been supplied. than they should have dune had the defendants full lled their co ,tract. It was to recover this sum that the pie eat :talon was brought. This statement was corroborated by several witnesses. Mr. Sergeant WILDE. for the defendants, submitted that the plaintiffs should be nonsuited, on the ground that the contract was not binding. The Company of the E.sst London Water-works being a Corporate*, it was necessary that any contract they should enter into should be by deed. The present contract, although it might bind the defendants, would not bind the plaintiffs, and the Learned Sergeant contended that an action could not be maintained on an instrument which would not mutually bind both parties. He had also another objection, which wad, that the contract; such as it was, did not state that 16,000 yards were positively to be supplied ; the words of the contrast were, " from 10,000 to 16,000 yards." The LORD Cuter JUsTiCa was of opinion that it was not necessary for the Company to enter into a deed for every trifling contract. He would, however, reserve the point, but should wish the case now to go to the Jury. Mr. Sergeant Warns resumed.—The question to be decided was, whether the Company, by the contract, were entitled to call on the defendants to supply the remainder of the pipe? He contended that they had not, and that the contract had, in fact,expired, upwards of twelve months having elapsed between its date and the second order. The LORD CHIDE JUSTICE thought that the plaintiffs had a right to require the delivery of the remainder of the pipe, as it appeared that the defendants themselves had caused the delay. It was agreed that the question of the exact amount of the loss should be referred, and the Jury immediately returned a verdict for the plaintiffs for the amount claimed, subject to the reference. INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT, Aran. as. aneosvairr CAUTION 70 ASJUGIII/01 07 0170L7IDITS . MUTES. Mr. HEATH made an application to the Court, by way of motion, telative to the following circumstances-L-7U Learned Gentleman said, that in December, MIS, an insolveet was discharged, when Mr. Thomas Ewbank was appointed assignee, in width capacity he had received £735 113. ad. which he bad neglected to appropriate in the manner prescribed by Act et Pazitament, namely, to divide it among the creditors. Seem data since, the Court bawd a peremptory order for the money to he paid into the bands of the provisional assignee, which was Mt complied with, and a warrant was then issued against Mr. &thank, upon contempt; but, on his going before Mr. Justice Ileiroyd, the warrant being deemed informal, the Learned Judge discharged him.
