HAYMMIREC tHEATRE. Last night, after Paul Pry and the Rowanire; which were performed with the same talent and effect we have so often noticed with approbation, the new Farce of You Mlla be Buried was repeated with increased effect. The acting was greatly imp►ored, especially that of Mr. Reeve, who invested a character of little pre tension with considerable humour. M. LA roars too netted himself with spirit and effect, and produced considerable laughter; a little more variety is still de sirable. Mr. Reeve was again encored in his song, and on the whole You must be Buried, was much more suc cassia than on Saturday night. The house was numer ously and elegantly attended.

MARGATE, AUGUST 12. --....--- This resort of mirth is at present thronged beyond soy former precedent, the Harlequin having just arrived at the Pier with a fresh Importation of ZOO. Four steamers arrived on Satarday evening, bringing upwards of 1900; as a counterpoise to w awa, about 400, who, having got rid of their money, with light parser, heavy hearts, and dwU faces, took their departure from the jetty, in the Royal Sovereign and Dart Packets, for London, this morning.

A gloom was cast over the town yesterday by a .hocking as which happened in the morning at the New Church, now erecting on Dane's.-hill, by which two men lost their lives. The building having now attained a very considerable height, the brick and mortar required by the workmen are hoisted up in buckets, by a bog rope being passed through the pulley attached to the scaffolding at tie top of the building,and a bucket attached to each end of it. One bucket being filled with bricks or other material, a man gets into the other, and, by kb weight, raises the full bucket to the top of tie building. The two individuals who have lost their lives were labium.; one of them was employed in raising materials in the manner describes], and bad placed himself in the empty bucket, when the other, who was on the scaffold, imprudently fot ced himself Into it with him.

Last night the anniversary of his MA.11121'211 Birth bay was celebrated with an unusual degree of splendour at the above elegant and fashionable place of public entertainment. The proprietors on this occasion spared neither pains nor expense to render the entertainment worthy of that patronage which they have hitherto so deservedly received from the public. It was announced is the bills as the grandest Gala of the season, and so it certainly was, the Gardens being brilliantly illuminated with 50,000 additional lamps of variegated colours, displaying numerous trophies, devices, mottoes, &c. The rariety of the entertainments afforded a constant fund of amusement the whole of the night. The first was the Pantomime, which kept the risible muscles of the COM pay in constant exercise. The astonishing performances of Mr.fit.actmortz on the slack and tight ropes followed, alter Which the Concert in the open orchestra afforded a high treat to the lovers of harmony. A variety of new and excellent songs were introduced by Miss GRAD ma, Mr. and Mrs. Firswiwait, Mr. HORN, &c. Tt.e nest point of atttaction was Mr. CooKE's unrivalled stud of horses and celebrated troop of equestrians, who pet formed in a spacious circle erected for the Occasion, a variety of astonishing military evolutions ednbiting a wonderful proof of the docility and sa gacity 01 Mr. Colitis beautiful stud.

The Grand Spectacle of the Battle of Waterloo, which nightly increases in attraction, was next per finned. The entertainments of the evening concluded with a new Vaudeville, the production of Mr. MON called the " Kiss and the Rose; or, Love in the ftscry Ground." This piece is by ao means inferior 1 ° say of that Gentleman's previous productions. It is of a light and piquant character. The incidents are aornerous and well managed, and the dialogue is at once playful and appropriate to the scene. The charac ters vete well cast, and most effectively supported. The music, with the exception of a comic song, called " Analylation," by BLINETT, consists entirely of pa l pular airs, which were very effectively given, and several of them encored. Towards the conclusion of the Waterloo beectacle, the rain came down in torrents, a d those who were without the aid of umbrellas got .borough soaking. The fire-wor Its went off at the accag , med hour, but the wetness of the night marred 11 " effect.

Wednesday last, the Renfrewshire Yeomanry Cavalry, earn mended by Captain HOUSTON STEWART, in the absence of his bro ther, Sir MICIIMIL SHAW Srlwaar, the Major Commandant, at the close of their right days' attendance on permanent duty, were re viewed, on a field on the Estate of Walkinshaw. by Colonel CAsst► SILL of Blythswood, hie Majesty's Lord Lieutenant for the county. The equipment and general appearance of the corps were much ad mired ; and they performed the usual formations and manotuvres hi a style which called forth the unqualified approbation of the Lard Lieutenant, who was pleased to express himself in the most corn. plimentary manner on their perfect discipline and efficiency. The sight was one of a very animated description. The fineness of the day—the beautiful scenery of' the surrounding country—the im mense concourse of delighted spectators, mingled as it was with many a gay group of the gentler sex, in whose bright eyes and beaming countenances, stood confessed the most gratifying approval of his gallant bearing which the cavalier could receive—and the martial array of the sturdy Yeomen petformint their evolution! with the greatest precision, presented a spectacie`which Iteluld oat fail to recal the days of joust and tournament, and all the pomp and circumstance of the times of chivalry and romance. —The high spirits which prevailed amid the whole assemblage, made the Races which followed seem excellent; yet, on a calm review, the most that can be said of them is, that they were spiritedly contested. The last Race, by the winners of each Troop, for a purse of 10 guineas, was run for by Mr. Was. GALLOWAY of the Paisley Troop, and Mr: Joint DEER of the Mearns Troop. Mr. GALLOWAY came in first, but the race was claimed by Mr. Dice, on the ground t►at his opponent had not kept the proper course.—ln the evening, the Yeomanry partook of a handsome dinner in the Renfrewshire Too -1 tine Inn, honoured by the presence of the Magistracy of the county, the Officers of the 42i1 Regiment quartered in the town, and several Gentlemen of distinction. Captain HOUSTON SYRWART in the Chair. The talents and social qualities of the Chairman were most happily displayed as the speech and toast went promiscuously round, and, if the events of the day were calculated to impress every one with a conviction that the present Commandant of the Renfrewahire Yeomanry was an Officer of superior zeal and ability in the field, those of the evening were equally calculated to exhibit him as emi nently qualified for presiding at the social board, said rousing those feelings of attachment to the person of their Chief, and of enthu siasm in the cause which give the best promise of the increasing respectability and usefulness of this Melt Constitutional force.

Extract of a letter from the agent to Lloyd's at Smyrna, dated the 4th of July :—" The brig Amanthea, Captain Bartlett, from Messina, in ballast, was boarded on the 27th ult. between Nicoll' and Tino, by a pirate-boat with twenty-five to twenty-seven men, all armed, who plundered the ship's stores and crew's property, including SOL in cash; after which they beat the captain and men severely, in expectation of causing them to discover any concealed property on board. The tour mystics sent out in disguise by Captain Hamilton, with sixty men on board, to look out for pirates, have net been heard of dote the first few days; some slight anxiety is therefore entertained for their safety. Capt.

EFLEiTIONS. • The man of strong go bd sense seldom displays the eclat of genius. He applies himself to things in the common way, but he po-sesses sound judgment, which ple,erves.him fiorn the danger to which blighter men are exposed. The talents of the man of genius excite jealousy and envy which interrupt his success and repose. The man of good sense, always guided by reason— ilways master of himself, proceeds regulirly in As career of life, and knows how to avoid the thorns in his way. Men of genius and wit are seldom happy. Men of plain common sense generally are. Mena sans in carport? sane. This is an old saying. The body well constituted generally contains ill the intellectual faculties. When it is attacked by any of those maladies to which human nature is subject, the mind feels it. We must, then, endeavour to preserve health, in order to retain strength of mind. If we in• jure the body, we destroy the fabric which nature has made the depot of understanding.

Saturday night several burglaries were committed in Belvoir-terrace, Vauxhall-road. Several of the houses are in an unfinished state, and the workmen have been in the habit of leaving their tools in the houses. On going to their work yesterday morning, it was observed that some villains had broke into the house, No. 15, and stole all the tools which had been left these on Sa turday evening. They alsn broke into No. 18, which they robbed in a similar manner. Mr. Haiks, of Lower Tooting, bad his premises broke open during last week, and a large quantity of plough irons and carpenters' tools stolen. The premises of Mr. Hackin, No. 4, Nor folk•place, Albany-road, Camberwell, was also bur glariously entered, and a large quantity of plate and wearing apparel stolen. VIOLENT THUNDER-sToasit.—Saturday evening the inhabitants of the neighbourhood of Wanstead-flats were thrown into the greatest consternation and dismay, by one of the most violent thunder-storms tbat has oc ctirred within the memory of the oldest inhabitant in that neighbourhood. It commenced at about six o'clock, and raged with the greatest violence until nearly seven. During its progress, the flashes of light ning were so rapid and vivid,as to deprive several persons of their sight for some hours; and one man, named Scales, a blacksmith, was struck with the electric fluid, and knocked down ; he sustained no other injury, how ever, than that produced by extreme fright. Some idea may be formed of the extent of the storm, by the fact that two large trees which were struck by the lightning were literally shivered to atoms, and the earth about their roots turned up as if by a subterrannean convulsion. UNL A WVIJLLY REMOVING A DEAD BODY. - At one o'clock yesterday afternoon, Mr. STIRLING, the Coroner, attended at a public-house in Islington-green, for the purpose of holding an Inquest, on view of the body of John Carbery, a tine young man, aged twenty seven, -who met with his death while working at Islington, on Thursday afternoon last, by falling from some scaffolding, about one story high, on to the spikes of some palings below ; one of the spikes pierced his heart, and, passing nearly through his body, caused instant death ; the body was removed to the vault under Islington church to wait an Inquest, but ' about eight o'clock on the same evening a strong party of the deceased's csantrymen (Irish), headed by his brother, contrived to get the body away from the vault, and removed it to Horns-alley, Liquorpond-street, where the ceremony of waking was duly performed. On finding that the body had been improperly re moved, Mr. Stir ling proceeded to Hatton-garden ?Ace Office, and infilmed the sitting Magistrate t f the cir cumstance, who dispatched Edwards and several other officers to Horns-alley, with instructions to bring the deceased's brother, and such other persons as they shield find at the Noose where the corpse was lying, to the Office, and see the body safely deposited in S. Andrew's workhouse; which, after considerable resist ance on the part of the deceased's brother, they suc• ceeded in accomplishing, otherwise it was the inten tion of the deceased's friends that the body should have been interred that afternoon without any Inquest being held on it. The parties, when before the Magistrate, pleaded their usual custom of waking the dead, and ignorance of the law, and were, all but the deceased's brother, discharged, he being detained as a precau trona, y measure, to prevent consequences which might Jailer wise ensue. Law INfELUUENCL COURT QV CHANCERT,Avourr IS. aboCtfiast b. SUCKLE AND PROTEetRat. The LORD COANCZLLOR, in giving judgment toga this ease itated that it was an appeal from the Voce ChancellOtt's decisiin, refusing an injunction to the plaintiff. The object of the application, to the rice Chanc.lior had been twofold s--1. That the defendants might be restrained from selling the waggons and busts, and other implements behmging to certain mines; 64 2dly, from granting a lease of the mines to Milli Powell and Jenkins. In 18'21, it appeared a leasenff the premises was granted to Messrs. Bouehier, Buckle, and Protheroe, for 21 years;. and in the indenture of 'lease was contained a covenant to keep the mines in work during the lease. Mr. Protheroe was the only surviving original lessee, the other two being only re presentatives of the le sees. In his affidavits, Mr. Pro theroe had stated, that when the lease was executed it never was the intention of the parties to work the mines, but to undeilet them. An agreement, in consequence of this determination, had been entered into with a per- MI of the name of Williams for working the mines, but owing to a difference relative to the sinking of the shaft, Mr. Williams threw up the contract. No pro ceedings were taken against Mr. Williams to cOmpel him to fulfil the contract, and disputes subsequently arose between the lessees as to the rent to be required fot the mine. Mr. Protium' and Mr. Buckle afterwards entered into an agreenient with Messrs. Powell and Jenkins to let his sham of the mines; but Mr. Ilouchier had objected to it, and insisted that the covenant in the • original lease should be performed. After having de tailed some of the more minute facts of the case, his Lordship expressed his opinion that the injunction misfit not to be allowed. It was evident that notwithstanding the covenant, it never was the intention of the lessees to work the mines; and it would be both justice to the defendants and kindness to the plaintiff to refuse the application, as the- effect of a contrary decision would be completely to ruin the whole concern.--Appeal dis missed with costs. ~. BANKRUPT PETITIONS. His LORDSHIP then proceeded with the list of bank rupt petitions. It will be impossible for his Lordship to dispose of the whole of the cases before the ruing of ihe Court. i 4 4.-.4411/ IN RE MARSH, PAUNTLZROY AND CO. Mr. SUODEN stated, that he had to present a petition in this matter on behalf of the executor of Mr. Amory. and its prayer was threefold—l sr,that a bond f0r24,0001. given by Mr. Amory to Messrs. Marsh and Co. might be cancelled ; 2d, That a debt of 12,0001. claimed by the assignees might be declared to be satssfie I; and 3d, That certain title deeds, relating to an estate in the Island of St. Kitt's, might be delisemed up. These were all involved in one transaction, which appeared t be of this nature; Mr. Amory wishing to purchase an estate in the Island of St. Kitt's, made an application to Fauntleroy for a loan of 12,0001. to complete a sum of 16,0001. It was agreed that the money should remain in the banking house until the title was satisfactorily completed. It was completed, and 12,0001. were en tered into Mr. Amory's account in the books of the banking house, but, in fact, the money never was paid. The whole was a fictitious transaction, and not a single farthing went out of the bank. Mr. Fauntleroy, it was true, had filed a bill against some of the parties, stating that the 'advance had been made by Exchequer bills, bat this was afterwards satisfactorily proved to be luntrue. The bond was given to the bankrupts as an additional security to the bankrupts, and the title deeds lodged in their hands. The petitioners therefore, under these circumstances. prayed that the securities might be given up, and the debt declared to have been satisfied. Mr. HNALN and Mr. MONTAGU ) on the p.m of the assignees, did not oppose the petition, but wished it might be determined out of which estate the sum should be deducted—the joint or separate estate. The LORD CHANCELLOR was satisfied that the whole transaction was fraudulent, as respected the firm and Mr. Fauntleroy. He wished not, however, to be mis understood. He did not mean to say that the fii m had practised the fraud, but by means of the entry in the books of the concern the fraud had been committed. He should, therefore, grant the prayer of the petition in the terms requested, and give the petitioner the op tion of declaring out of which estate the sum should be deducted. ♦ICE• CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Auo. 13. HICKSON, IN THE MATTER 01 SMITH. This was an application to obtain the order of the Court upon Mr. Alderman Atkins, to oblige him t•-i re fund the sum of 81. 6s. Bd. which he had•proved against the bankrupt's estate, as it was alleged, improperly ; and also, to discharge the Alderman from his situation as assignee, upon various allegations of improper conduct. With reference to the 81. 6s. 83. it was alleged, that the Alderman had added the name of Hickson to, his own, to a cheque for the amount. An application had been previously made by Mr. Alderman Atkins, to be al lowed to prove against the bankrupt's estate a debt of 1941. alleged to have been fraudulently charged by the bankrupt to Hickson, for an Insurance which was never effected ; and also, to be allowed a reasonable sum for the services of the petitioner's clerks, in the conduct of the bankrupt's affairs; the petitioner, Mr. Alderman Atkins, being one of the assignees of the bankrupt's estate. In support of the petition, it was stated. that, Abolish the present Master of the Rolls, when Vick,Chaukellor, had objected to an allowance to an assigneOnr the ser vices of his clerk, yet that Lord Eldon 44 overruled his Honour's decision, and had decided that an assignee was entitled to a reasonable allowance fontuch services. After Counsel had been heard at considerable length, The Vice CHatier.r.Lna sail, he was of opinion that the petitioner's application was too late in paint of time, and that the petition must be dismissed, with costs. His HONOUR stopped the Counsel in oppositiOn to the motion now made, observing that there were no grounds for the application on the part of Mr. Hickson. He had carefully examined the cheque, And it did not ap. pear that there was any ground whatever for the impu tation of forgery. He must, therefore, du the same by this motion as he had done already by Alderman At kins's, viz. dismiss it, with cost,:. Mr. SuODEN said, that, had it not been for the motion of Mr. Alderman Atkins, the present application would not have been made. His Hollows had no doubt that this was in the nature of a return shot. The time of the Court w4l too much occupied with applications arising out of mutual beat ,of parties. 11'1111
