I tHtAtRE§: C °VINTGARDEN. ;h e tragedy of Macbeth was perfenneo last ni g ht, when /4r. WARDS appeared for the first time on the Dodd* of our es= as the hero and victim of ambition. Mr. Waset'a ; w ithout any pretensions to a perfect representation of what the divine Bard imagined and set down, displayed points of acting which were not only calculated to advance the reputation of the actor, but did credit to the art wish* he professes. The dosing scenes of the tragedy were sustained with considerable power, and the combat was better managed than aaything of the kind we hate seen for along time. Miss Lacv repeated her Li* Marimelt with great success. She did not, however, appear to feel er to commu nicate the terror which. the character ought to inspire, in the same degree as on the first night of her performing it. After the fall of the curtain there was a call for Mr. Waling, which that Gentleman very properly declined to answer for a considerable time; but as the clamour was kept up by a portion of the audience, he came forward, received their vociferous applause, and announced the performances of the succeeding evening. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE. MATHIZWeII fisairationa were again most numerously accepted lut night ; and never did the eater taionwnts provided afford more appa rent satisfaction to the assembled guests of all descriptions. ADELPHI THEATRE. Last night, Mr. YATES, whose comic and imitative talent; are well known to the public, ventured on the Herculean or Mathewsian task of entertaining a whole audienceln himself, and succeeded. This new enter tainment is ca.led 1' ates's Reminiscences; or, Etchings of Life and Character, and consists of songs. anecdotes, and imitations, in which the actor displays extraordip nary versatility. Mr..YATEs commenced by disclaim ing all intention of drawing on the " bank of merri ment," which his friend had established at the English Opera House; he then' traces his own history, " e'en from his boyish days," until he reaches man's estate— that is, becomes a man without an estate. In the sketch of his juvenile days at the Charter House School he intro duces a literary cobbler, a man of a good understanding of course, whose sole object is not confined to translating shoes. He is latterly obliged to consult Mr. Damper Yates' —a second cousin of the family—upon the choice of a profession, and he, being a starched, old, queue-loving bachelor, throws cold water on all the propositions of the young enthusias , . The latter suggests the stage— " The stage !" quoth Mr. Damper, " do you mean the stage to Kennington r No, no, Sit—the theatre." " Aye, aye, the sta-a-ge ; a vagabondish trade, generally ending in no bend at all." But genius is not to be damped; and YATES gets himself introduced at a masquerade as Master Some, in which character he puts out Harle quin's eye, and treads on the Muse's mantle. Here he meets with his friend Maritza s, to whom he pays a warm heartfelt tribute of gratitude. He travels in company with him to Boulogne, in order to test his mimic powers. and at Dover encounters one of the best characters in his gallery—a Mr. Felix Fact, a qutt, matter-of-fact, simple Gentleman, who detests metaphors and cramp allusions, and has eschewed reading ever since he learnt that the only work he read—Gay's Fables—was false from beginning to end. This ex cellent personage has ventured to Dover for the sole purpose of viewing the sea. When there he creeps slowly to the beach, dips a finger in the salt wa:er, puts it into his mouth, spits it out again, and walks off, highly pleated with the adventure. At Dover also the dra matic pi'grims encounter Tonerraveller, who had read " Robinson Crowe" so frequenty, that his btain has become crazed with the notion of finding out a desert ; and he is in pursuit of a Juan Fernandez', with a tele *cope, two guns, and a little hl.ck, ditty urchin, whom lie designates a - Friday. While at Boulogne the tra vellers visit Joe Kelly, who is tormented by his dog Worry ; and after a kind reception in that asylum of • wrinkled coquettes and superannuated beaus, they re turn to the wooden walls of OW England—a designation which puzzles Mr. Felix Fact, also never saw these " wooden walls," ncr heard when they had been broken down. He is then engaged to play the Cavalier Seul at Vanzhall in a comic divertissement ; but is uafoitunately prevented from cracking his jokes before the public, by having the misfortune to crack his leg at the dress re hearsal, which took place before his public appearance; and instead of being borne away on the tide of popular favour, is mortified to find himself carried off on a shutter. The song of " Vauxhall Garden," which fol lows, is full of lite and caricature; and the trip to the " Magic Gardens" told with inimitable spirit. Here the credulous Mr. filis bad is again introduced to us, who grieves to hear that the tide is running up—his pace being sedate and ambling ; and that a barrel organ had been consumed is the fire at Cumherland gardens, because the engines could not play upon it. We are next whirled to Live pool, where Mr. YAM enacts logo to the Well* of Mr. Matrnaws, a per formance which, we conceive, must be equal to the best farce ever acted. In Part 11. we become acquainted with a Mr. Pros per Sanguine, who towers over misfortune as the steeple does over the chancel of a church, and has evidently insured his life in the Hope. No calamity or cross accident disconcerts his visionary prospects, nor can any objection dissipate them. Macadamization is-denounced in his presence,—" Oh !" quoth Mr. Prosper Sanguine, " if it create dust in summer, we will have Lundy-toot for nothing ; and if the streets be flooded in winter, navigation will be encouraged." Mrs. Pauline Pry the mother of the redoubtable Paul, next figures on the tapis; and really, we must own, that she bears away the palm from her son. She is an argus-eyed daughter of Eve—an eternal visitor at her neighbours houses, scattering ruin around her by " nods and winks, and wreathed smiles." If a tea-caddy be out of its wonted place, she purses her mouth, and hen* a suspicion about it ; if tea-spoons be substitdted for dessert spoons, she closes her eyes and mutters some thing about the hardship of the times; and if the husband be from home, she speaks of " persons obliged to take the .air." Mr. YATES now briefly l recounts his country excursions, when he played Rover, in Wild Uats, with a strolling company, the re ceipts of the night being only one pound seventeen shillings and threepence, and met with an octogenarian performer who spent many hours before the glass, in order to wrinkle his face for the part of Henry . VI. Mr. YATES, among other songs, has one on the heatrical fund Dinner, in which the speeches and manner of the orators and players who assemble on such occasions are copied to the life. FAWCZTT, BRA. HAM, Vous°, and MACREADY, are very felicitously car.catured ; and the speech of the Chairman, the mho tontines, mistakes, and marvelling of the audience, are very amusingly given. The entertainment concludes with a Finale, in which all the principal characters figure. The third part is called Yr. al•IVINIM, a Mersepoiylegue f and, Him Mr. Mamma's piece under this title, is a slight dramatic sketch, in which Mr. Yates, with great adroitness and rapidity, personates. three ladies and five gentlemen at once—a feat eveh greater than that for which Mrs. Malaprop gives Cerberus credit. This part of the entertainment was the triumph of Mr. Yates versatile powers ; and the dexterity with which he changed his characters was re warde‘l wi.h the repeated applause of an audience crowded in every part.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Area& This morning Mt. Commissioner LAW presided, to adjudicate upon those cases where no creditors had sig nified their intention of opposing the application of the petitioners. Those prisoners who were ordered for hearing to-day, having opposition marked against their names, will not be brought up for hearing until Mon day the 10th inst. and the opposed cases for to-morrow (this day) will not be heard until the 11th inst. MOTION Tull RE-HEARING.-IN AN JOSBIPH WOOLCOMI This insolvent was before the Court about eighteen months ago, when he was opposed by Mr. Pontifex, the coppersmith, and another creditor, the result of which was, that the insolvent was remanded for a con, siderable period. for fraudulently contracting debts and concealing his property. The term of the insolvent's imprisonment having et. pired, the creditors procured fresh evidence, applied to the Court, and obtained a rule absolute, citing him to appear before it for the purpose of being re-examined relative to matters connected with his petition and schedule. It appeared that the insolvent had contrived to elude the Officer whose duty it was to set ve the rule upon him, which occasioned the rale to be enlarged several time., until at length service was made upon him ; but it or dered him to appear on a day when the Court did not sit, and was therefore rendered nugatory. Mr. Haavn this day named the circumstance to the Court, upon which Mr. Commissioner LAW said, that the Learned Gentleman must commence de novo ; bnt under all the circumstances, the insolvent was not er.- tided to expect any indulgence. The Court tken ordered the rule to be enlarged. Philip Stutter was heard on his petition to be dis charged. It appeared that before the Insolvent went to prison he gave a warrant of attorney to one of his treaiturs, who since he had been in . confinement had entered up judgment, and swept away every article of furniture which is allowed by the Act, and commonly termed " excepted articles." Mr. Commissioner LAW said, that this was a hard case upon the Insolvent, but the Court could afford him no remedy, as the proptrty seized did not pass under the assignment to the provisional assignee. • The Court then ordered the discharge to issue. Eh is much to be hoped, that before the Bill dew pending before Parliament be passed into a lw, a clause will be introduced which will prevent the recurrence of an act like that referred to, which completely frustrates the benign intention of the Legislature.] The following petitioners were declared entitled totheir dis charge, viz.—John Pcter Bennett, of Great St. Helen's, merchant ; Thomas Lloyd, Back Road, Islington, sheep salesman; William Linley, of Sheffield, cutler ; John Brickhill, of Gorton, Lancashire, baker; Charles King, of Horsleydown, lighterman • Thos.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MAIDSTONE, Aritu. 1. Joni Dal-email was indicted for the wilful murder of her female bastard child, by-suffocation, at Scale, on the 12th March last. The Jury acquitted the prisoner of the mdtder, but found her guilty of endeavouring to conceal the birth, and, under all the circsinstances. she was sentenced to three months imprisonment. James Willeocts was indicted fol. assaulting John Shan, on the King's highway, at Davington, putting him in fear,"and forcibly taking from his person, a Sve pound bank note, ten shillings, and a pocket.book.—Nat Guilty. Jahn Askbee, a young man of respectable appearance. was in dicted for a btirglary and robbery in the dwelling-house of John Cork at Stapkhurst, on the 254 of March. The Jury found him Guilty, but strongly recommended Min to mercy, in which recommendation the prosecutor most urgently joined. Sentence of Doak was recorded.

Lade and E. are left for the law to take its course. CLONMEL. Maurice Cro . tve was put to the bar, charged with ut , tering base coin on the 7th of February last, at Thurles. This was rather a curious case: James Cesar deposed, that he went on the 7th of February to the fair of Thurles, for the purpose of selling a cow; the prisoner became the purchaser, and tendered in payment six sovereigns and some change, and observed that he had received them in payment the day before for pigs ; wit ness objected to some sovereigns that the prisoner took out a bag, on ',llia he took more out of another bag, and offered them to the witness. The witness having occasion to pass the sovereigns shortly after, ascer tained that they were base. The prisoner, on being brought before Captain Wilson (Chief Magistrate), was searched, and other sovereigns found on his person; on that occasion he said be had received them inEngland. Mr. George Harkness, assay-master to the Bank of Ireland, was called up, and having examined the coin found on the prisoner, as well as these he had passed over to the first witness (Cesar) pronounced them base. On being questioned. he said the coin purporting to be sovereigns were British farthings. The Loss Cum Jurrice expressed his opinion that the prosecu tion should drop, inasmuch as the coin in guesden, which had been laid in the indictment as counterfeit, was not really so, but the mere representation of British farthings. The Court and several Gentleaseo of the bar seemed to think the case a novel one. Mr. Harkness was further examined by the Court.— The teverse on the sovereign, be explained (which was previously done by the Learned Judge), was St. George and the Di agora—that on t 1 British farthing the figure of Britannia; consequently there was a dissimilarity I between the money found on the prisoner (whit* the indictment described as counterfeit coins, but which in reality was no more than a farthing), and the genuine sorer.- ign. Counsel for the Crown read extracts from sits of Parliament In support of the proemotlen, which were, however, over-ruled by the Court, as not being analogous to the case under consideration, ..,,k• "-/ 4 r7 . ; Tao Learned iala, ti , - iiiiiiiild — Si Ihteiliti 41ri # i HAM there be a eekviction) o f jud.ast,, to ot4er that o Lodi* L have as n aubmittinf thy question the eseeedentift of the t • req.

DOHIRtY Arab Axciiittn. i~skelA Mr. &ROAM'S, on the part of the Crown, said that is this was, he believed, the first prosecution that had taken place under the late statute against Unlawful As thmblies (4th Geo:IV.) it might be necessary to adds ess the Court and jury. 'The traversers were indicted for a misdemeanor, in acting as members of a society called Freemasons, by appearing in the insignia of the order, and marching in public procession. Mr. Schoales read some passages from the statute, which showed that all associations, lodges, &c. bound together by secret oaths; or engagements, were, amongst others, wisely prohibited by this statute; and that public processions of any such bodies, having a tendency to produce disturbance, and to lead to riot, and perhaps to bloodshed, were especially intended to be prevented. He then stated, that on the 27th of December last, the Mayor of Coleraine having received information that Freemason lodges were as. sembling in that town, repaired to the several places where their flags were displayed; be informed the per sons astembled that their purpose was illegal, and ad vised them to disperse. In general the advice of the Magistrate was followed; but the traversers, With some others, resisted it, and proceeed through some of the streets of Coleraine, in procession, with flags, &c. as usual. Another Magistrate having joined the Mayor, with some constables, they attempted to take the fl igs, and a struggle ensued, which constituted a riot, and in which one of the Magistrates was nearly knocked down. But as the traversers had since expressed con trition. and declated that they acted in ignorance of the law, Mr. ScboAles said the object of the prosecution would be answered by such moeerate punishment as the Court, in discretion, should think sufficient to pre. vent a repetition of the offence. Mr. ROLLICSTON, for the traverser, declared, that Freemasons would he among the last persons in the community to commit a wilful breach of the law. He admitted that his clients had acted illegally, but they had not any knowledge of the existing law at the time. They were sorry to have offended, and wished to make amends by withdrawing their traverses and pleading guilty, not generally to the indictment, but to the count for the infringement of the new statute. Mr. ScHool.as said, that they had sufficient evidence to support a riot under the common law. _ _ _ Mr. Roussel*, in reply, said, that now for the first time he bad heard Freemasons accused as a riotous mob. I am myself, my Lord, a Freemason, and never till this moment in Ireland did I bear of their being accused, as a body, of anything illegal, immoral, or disloyal. Mr Senoatita—My Lord, Mr. Rolleston cannot now be heard, unless his clients submit to the charges in the indictment. My Lord, said Mr. ROLLILSTON, submit to the charge of riot I Freemasons submit to the charge of riot! Never!—he who reveres the order will not advise or suffer the men of the Society he loves to admit they have polluted themselves by a base and degrading riot. No, my Lord ; the Freemasons of this kingdom are men of spirit, virtue, and morality, who have never been debased even by the imputation of a breach of -the pence. No; ages have established them pure, vir tuous, peaieful, and loyal. I shall tell your Lordship what they will admit—that on the day in Inestion they assembled is an ancient and highly ses2ectetble lodge of Freemasons, as' they and their ancestors had done sine the eireetion of the temple. They will admit, that on .the day• in question they marched as free and accepted Masons, s.ccotding to the custom of that an cient and revered body. They will admit that they were on that day, for the first time, informed that a meeting of free, independent, and united Masons, dis playing the signals of union and fraternity, were con traty to law. They will admit that, however anxious they are to hoist the banners of love, friendship, and loyalty ; yet if that is forbidden by the Legislature, they will no longer unfurl them in public. Let them, my Lord, with this admission, and with this acknow ledgment, depart peaceably to their homes. Though I admit they acknowledge no more, it is impossible to punish men of their purity and morality for this inad vertent error. No Jury can convict them—they will .nbt, if informed by your Lordship that the assembling as Freemasons is illegal—they will nut again publicly display the sacred emblems of their order—they will be satisfied in secret to press them, inscribed with love, fraternity, and virtue, to their loyal and generous hearts. The Learned Juno' agreed in every respect, and said, that as they had thus, in open Court. declared their sentiments, and that no public parade should again be made, hi would permit them to return so their ►omes and to their families without any imputation whatever, but that of inadvertent mistake of present privilege. They had now acknowledged their offence, and submitted to the mercy of the Court, and his Lordship thought public justice woubi be sufficiently vindicated by a small fine; upon payment of which they were discharged. The Greek merchants of the City report that Lord Coen sows will immediately be invested with the title of " First Consul of the Republic of Greece."

AsnucTion.—Tuesdgf Hugh Reynolds, who was tried and convicted at Cavan, for abduction, underwent the awful sentence of the law in front of the gaol of that r town.—ln the month of April, 1825, a party, headed by Hugh Reynolds, came at the hour of midnight to the house of an industrious farmer, named M'Cabe, of the townland of Shankhifl, near the town of Cavan,' "who had an only daughter, reputed to have a fortune of 1001. They broke Open the house, and demanded . M'Cabe's daughter, who, on hearing them, cnncealed herself. They sought for her, however, until they found * her ; but, on their attempting to force her away, she ;king round her mother's neck, from which they tore her with some violence, and carried hrr off almost in a state of nudity. When they had proceeded about half 'a mile, one of the ruffians said, 4. Now is the time to insure the prize." The unfortunate man who intended her for his wife, hesitated to commit so foul a deed in their presence as that to which they urged him ; but the monster again said, "If you do jot, I will ;" which ' had the effect of inducing the wretched man to perpe ltrate the clime, in the accomplishrtient of which he was assisted by his brutal companion, while the remainder of the band remained at a short distance. They then proceeded to the house of John Reynolds, brother to Hugh, where they kept the wretched girl for two days, and then allowed her to retain home. Reynolds was afterwards taken by a party of Police, and also his brother John, who is likewise under sentence of de.atii for aiding and assisting.—Erne Packet. ~PbktP G IN ' I'EI.LIG EM .
