The American brig Dryade, which was put under qoarantine at the Motherbank, on the 18th tilt. for basing lost two men of fever, on her passage from Virginia, and which was suspected to be of a malig unt nature, was on Saturday released, and proceeded toCowes to discharge her cargo of tobacco into French vessels, which are there waiting to convey it to Havre. Saturday se'nnight, a boat with five men was off Portland, in a gale, endeavouring to reach the shore, bat could not ; the men on the beach tied a rope to a srllall spit it tub, a Portland dog went off with the tub in his mouth, the men by that means secured the rope to their boat and were dragged ashore. An accident occurred to the Hon. Sir CHARLES PIGST, in the evening of Saturday se'nnight, at Deal, which threatened unpleasant consequences. Sir CHARLES having arrived to rehoist his broad pendant, was desirous, notwithstanding the gale, of going on board, and, accompanied by his brother, the Hon. DzautLEY PAGET, embarked in his boat, which was soon after swamped. By good management, no ill consequence ensued beyond a thorough wetting of all that were in the boat, with their clothes, baggage, &c. Sunday se'nnight, on their passage from Barton, Mr. THOMAS TINDALL, formerly of Scarborough, but latterly of Hull, ship-owner, and four other per sons, were unfortunately drowned. The Committee appointed for conducting the late Civic Banquet met on Saturday, at Guildhall, and dlstributed the remains of the baron of beef, and the victuals left after the LORD MAYOR'S Feast, to many Par decent persons assembled in Guildhall, who had tickets of recommendation given them to receive the mime.

We regret to say, that in , still continue to disgrace the country. We formerly stated, that the influence of the mi litary was confined to the spot on which they stood; and that the insurgents became audacious in propor tion to their success. Between one and two o'clock, on Sunday last, while Mr. LONGFORD was at church, his house at Greenpark, near Limerick, was attacked by the banditti, demanding arms. The doors being well secured, they could not force their entrance, and Mr. LONGFORD'S son, only fourteen years of age, throwing up the drawing-room window, presented a blunderbuss at the assailants. One fellow daringly came forward, and snapped a pistol at the young Gentleman, whose blunderbuss also missed fire. The tutor in Mr. LONGFORD'S family, now fired a pistol, on which the banditti precipitately fled. The re markable circumstances attending this attack, are, that it was made in the middle of the day ; that the house is situated close to a public road, of much re sort; that the surrounding country is thickly inha bited ; and that the barracks are within the dis tance of a musket shot. and outrage These facts establish the daring impunity with which the banditti pursue their measures; and also• that some species of local force, such as Volunteer or Yeomanry Corps, would be mere effective than re- Igular troops, on the ground that they would, proba bly, horn personal acquaintance, be able to learn the intentions of the peasantry, before they could collect in such large bodies as two or three hundred. Sunday evening, Mr. GutzsoN's house, at Meanns, was also attacked, and a curious compromise took place between Mr. GLEESON and the banditti. From an upper window he remonstrated against the impru dence of their conduct, and stated, that the aims in the house consisted of a borrowed musket, and a case of pistols which he had received as a present ; and surely, he said, you cannot be so unreasonable as to expect them? " We certainly do," they replied, "and will insist on them." He answered, that he would only part with them with his life; and as he observed one of the fellows presenting a musket, he retired to prepare for defence. But his resolution produced some effect, as after consultation, they again came forward, and said, they would not require the gun and pistols, and would be satisfied with some powder and ball, which he also refused, but stated, that he had one old musket, without a lock, which if they considered it any object he would give them. They agreed to this proposal, and on handing it to them they made a rush to seize it. Mr. GLEasox with drew the old musket, and required the Captain to de cide who should receive it. This point being deter mined, they wished him good night, with the assur ance that they intended no personal disrespect as he might observe from their forbearance to break his windows. At two o'clock, on Monday morning, about thirty ruffians attacked and broke into the house of Mr. Misr, of Clorane. They forced a window in the ground floor, and about twenty, well armed, went up stairs demanding fire-arms. Mr. HUNT delivered an old gun, being the only one in the house, as his arms had been previously sent to Limerick. One of the gang desired a young Gentleman, a visitor, to take charge of some silver lying on the dressing-table, as, he said, ' g it is not money we want, but fire-arms and ammunition," One of the fellows inquired the hour, and being informed that the clock had just struck three, said, la Captain, I did not think it so late, as it, was only one when we left Molony's—let us go, as we have yet five or :is places to visit." The Corporation of Dublin plead, in justificatio.. of their allowing the Orange exhibition of the 4th of November, in contempt of their own Resolutions, that after they had adopted these Resolutions, they disco vered, on consulting the Lawyers, that they had no legal means of enforcing them, without an affidavit that the Orange proceeding was likely to create a riot. Surely there could have been no difficulty in procuring a thousand such affidavits. An article from Frankfort formally contradicts a rumour, which appeared in several London Papers, that the KING was dissatisfied with hii journey to Hanover, and that the cause of his dissatisfaction arose from the rigid etiquette which is observed in the German Courts. According to this etiquette, none but the Nobility are permitted to attend a Levee ; whereas it is stated, in the article from Frank tort, that his MAJerry dispensed with this etiquette, and admitted to his Levees every man distinguished for his talents or public services. His MAJESTY was graciously pleased to grant to Lady Bait the privilege of studying . from the pic tures id Carlton Palace, during his visits to Ireland and Hanover; and, by unremitting daily applicition, her Ladyship has produced most excellent copies of some of the finest paintings in the Royal collection. The grand picture of CHRIST restoring the Sick Man, by VANDYKE, is copied with the greatest freedom and correctness; as are likewise those excellent por traits of Ruben: and his iVife. Her Ladyship had begun the admired picture of The Burgomaster, by REMBRANDT, and.left it in a state of considerable advancement only an hour or two before his MAJES TY S return to the Palace. Friday night, the servant of Mr. Pam; of Mos walk, Lambeth, was knocked down near his mutes house, and robbed of his watch and some silver, by a gang of street robbers who infest that neighbourhood. Saturday evening, as a man in the employ of a silversmith in Butthill-row, was on his way home from Goldsmiths'-Hall, he was knocked down by al gang of ruffians, aid robbed of 260 M O M 14146 , • PREAttI THEATIfICAL ROM (rime ♦ PAM WA U or NM 8) An extraordinary scene which took place at the Theatre Francais, last evening, will form a topic of conversation for some time. The Comedians per formed, or rather intended to have performed, The Marriage of Figaro, the representation of which has been interdicted for some months past. The first two acts were highly entertaining ; at the commence ment of the third, when the Count and Figaro are on the stage, some persons in the pit observed that Figaro suppressed one or two passages in his part ; these passages were loudly demanded : the actor could not impute it to a lapse of memory, as the Prompter was there, and one of the audience, after having . attempted to supply the omission, offered him the printed Flay. Some conversation took place ; the demand for the omitted passages was persevered in ; the tumult increased, and the actors retired. They soon made their appearance again, but when they at tempted to proceed with the Piece, without giving the celebrated passages, the clamour was renewed with increased violence. Some were willing to take the Piece as the actors offered to perform it ; others required to have it such as BEAUMARCHAIS had com posed it. Somebody proposed that the former should be gratified with the representation of the Piece, and that the money should be returned to the latter. —Damns eagerly acquiesced in the proposition, and requested those who opposed the performance to go to the place where the money is taken ; but they) wanted the Comedy, and not the money. Nobody went out. The passage demanded with so much per severance relates to politics, such as they are under. stood and defined by Figaro. It is eighteen years since the passage was suppressed, and, except in two or three instances, the Piece has been constantly pep. formed, as it was then commanded. However, the refractory persons persevered, and after a renewal of shouts and vociferations on both sides, the Commis sary of Police said—" Gentlemen, our patience is exhausted." They would hear no more ; the laughter and shouting became louder than ever, and they even attempted to get upon the Stage ; the actors then re tired for the third or fourth time; the curtain fell.— The Commissary of Police attempted in vain to ha rangue the audience; they would not listen to him. The scene assumed a laughable character. The order to clear the Theatre was put in execution. On leaving the House, the Pit gaily Pined in the air of Marlbrook, and thus the disturbance and tumult terminated, as, the piece would have concluded, with songs. The following is the passage ordered to be ex punged. Figaro gives the following definition of " La politipte," or state policy: " To feign ignorance of what one knows ; to pretend know ledge of Mot one is ignorant; to attend to what one does not comprehend; never to listen to what one does understand; to affect power beyond one's means; to be often 'making a great mystery of concealment where there is nothing to conceal; to shut one's self up, to mend pens, and to appear profound, when, in fact, one only thinks one's thinking; to distribute spies and pension traitors; to open seals, to intercept letters, and to endea vour to dignify the poverty of one's means by the importance of one's objecu -let me die, if this is not the whole art of state policy. A new and most elegant Theatre is now erecting at Havre-de-Grace, at which both English and French Plays are to be performed. It will be one of the largest of any country town in France. The English inhabitants at Havre are at present numerous beyond all precedent, and trade there is very brisk. Monday, above thirty of the Members of the Berkeley Hunt Club dined together, agreeable to an nual custom, at the King's Head Inn, in Gloucester. Colonel BIERNELZT was in the Chair, and JEassitAx HAWEINS, Esq. Vice-President. The dinner, which consisted of turtle, venison, and all the luxuries of the season, was so admirably catered and served up by Mr. DOWLING, as to receive expressions of approbation from the whole company, the majority of whom did not separate till a late hour. Sir SeUingham Graham's hounds will meet on Wednesday, at Drosiord ; and on Friday, at Westincon Hut. The Hampshire hounds will meet on Wednesday, at Hinton. house; Thursday, at Nutley Church; and on Saturday, on Newton Common. _ _ __ _ _ Mr. Shard's wW meet on Wednesday, at Union Wood, Winterslow ; and on Friday, at Weyhill. Fly, the second best greyhound at Holywell Hunt, was sold for thirty guineas immediately atter the race, and was afterwards matched for fifty guineas a-side, which she won. The protracted stay of the swallows excites much notice. The two following circumstances are re markable, at this advanced period I—Saturday se'n night, a young swallow, not fledged sufficiently for flight, came down the chimney of Mr. W. Hardham, grocer, at Eastgate ; and on the following day num bers of these birds were sporting over the Broyle-road, Hants, with all the alacrity they exhibit in summer. Friday, Mr. Ward, innkeeper, walked from York to the second public-house in Shipton, and returned back, in two hours and twenty-eight minutes, for a small wager, The time allowed was two hours and forty minutes, and the reported distance there and back twelve miles. Tuesday evening last, a frightful accident happened in the Menagerie exhibiting at the bottom of Leith Walk. A working man, with a child in his arms, was, among other spectators, admiring a fine zebra, whose cage is next to that of one of the lions. The latter animal, with one of his paws, made a snatch at the child, and pulling it out of its father's arms, got its head within the bars of his cage. The poor man, on perceiving the danger of his infant, fainted away. Some of the bystanders instantly attacked the fero cious brute with sticks, and succeeded in rescuing its intended victim, but not before the poor child was dreadfully lacerated about the head and face. Some nights previous, a Lady, incautiously standing too close to the same animal's cage, had a shawl torn from her shoulders, but fortunately sustained no pep sonal injury. Mr. A. meeting Mr. B. the ether day, asked a how many Capitals above L'2oo Buff had sold in the present Lottery r Four, " answered B.— ,6 Bless me," exclaimed the other, Nis that all?" ec All ! why how many would you have ?

This morning the LORD CHANCELLOR proceeded with his observations on this important case. After referring to the opinions of Lords Loughborough, Al. vanley, and Rosslyn, delivered upon, the same sub ject, he declared that he was of opinion, that only male descendants, through a male line, could take under the will of Mr. Thelluson. He would Tingly have been spared the necessity of discharging his duty with respect to the present cause, which he considered the most important he ever had to de cide. Under the influence of this feeling, he was de• termined that the cause should have the benefit of an appeal to the House of Lords, where questions might be asked which could not be propo.ed in that Court. He knew that some persons said, that an appeal from the Court of Chancery to the House of Lords, where the Chancellor presided, was a mere farce,— These persons, doubtless, had great confidence in their own judgment and experience. He was now approaching that period when his natural existence would be brought to a close, and he would confess, that during his judicial life his mind had frequently been hamperei with doubts in cases in which men of stronger minds would perhaps have entertained no doubts at all. But at least he might say, that suitors who submitted anything to his consideration, either in that Court or elsewhere, submitted it to the consi. deration of one who held consistency in error to be a great disgrace, and whose fiat wish was to be enabled to act rightly, after the fullest inquiry and considera tion. He could, therefore, assure the parties in the present cause, that when the appeal should come be fore the House of Lords, it would obtain his most anxious and dispassionate consideration. By this decision, his Lordship has overthrown the claim of the plaintiff Oddie, who is a descendant of the testator through a female line. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, NOVEMBER 10 4 Tilt Kam. Or BHAWTESBURY V. THE DUKE OW MARLBOROUGH. Mr. SHADWELL said there were two petitions in this case : one, which was from Lord Churchill, prayed that it might be referred to the Master, to take an account of the expenses which he (Lord Churchill) had incurred by repairing Blenheim House, in conformity with the direction contained in the Will of the late Duke. The Vice-CftwectLtoft asked what were the terms of the direction in the Will? Mr. SIDZEOTHAU read an extract from the Will, which empowered certain persons therein named to expend a sum not exceeding £lO,OOO in repairs upon Blenheim-House, which sum was to be derived from the residuary estates. Mr. SHADWELL observed, that if the petitioner had laid out any money in repairs,of course it must be paid to him. The best course to pursue would be, to leave the Master to report what money Lord Churchill had ex pended on repairs, and then the Court might make an order for his reimbursement. The Court at pre sent was not authorised to direct any payment.—The order was then drawn up in the manner suggested. Mr. SIDEBoTHAM said, the second petition was filed by Mr. Blackstone, under the circumstances he would state. Some time since, the heir-looms at Blenheim House were seized for taxes, which were partly assessed taxes and partly taxes on the Duke's personal property. The Court had directed the Mas ter to inquire whether the seizure of the heir-looms' under those circumstances was legal, and the Master hail reported that it was, but stated that a fund for the payment of the taxes might be found in the sur, plus rents. It appeared, however, that there were no surplus rents, and therefore, if by the assistance of the Court the money for the payment of the taxes could not be raised, the ancient heir-looms of the fa mily would be sold and dispersed for ever. Mr. Black stone then prayed that the Court would direct the taxes to be paid out of the rents in the hands of the receiver. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said the rents in the hands of the receiver were the fund of the creditors of the late Duke, and he therefore could not touch them. He should have no difficulty in granting the order if the rents were derived from copyhold instead of freehold estates. Mr. RAT stated, that the Duke was entitled to more than £6OO (the amount of the taxes) from copy hold estates. His Hamm said that information relieved him from all difficulty, and he granted an order for the payment of the taxes out of the produce of the Duke's copy hold estates. Mr. RAY said he had a motion of course to make, It was, that the defendant in this cause might be permitted to put in an answer to the plaintiff's amended bill, which was very different from his original bill. The VICE-CHANCELLOR asked whether it was ne cessary to obtain the permission of the Court to put in an answer ? Mr. RAY replied, that he understood that he had not put it in in time, and therefore it was now neces sary to obtain the license of the Court. Mr. Minims, for the plaintiff, said he was sur prised to hear Mr: Ray call his motion a motion of course. It was the first time, he believed, such an application was ever made to the Court. The prac tice of the Court was, that if a defendant did not put in an answer to an amended bill within eight days, be should not be allowed to put it in at all. The amended bill was filed on the 9th of June, and the defendant now for the first time applied to put in his answer without giving any special reasons for bis delay. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, that he could grant the motion only upon some special cause being sbewn by affidavit. If Mr. Ray would prepare an affidavit by Friday next, he might mention it on that day. Coati EICILUMB, MAIM-LAPS, Nov. 14.—Our market cond. cues very abundantly supplied with Wheat, having a good sup. ply fresh in this morning, and a considerable quantity left over from last week's artivals ; yet prime samples obtained the same prices as on this day se'nnight, but there was little or no demand for the damp and inferior samples, although offered at an abate.
