~~ EGYPTIAN TOMB. Yesterday afternoon the Egyptian Hall, in Picca dilly, was opened, for the purpose of affording to the friends of Mr. BeLzoNt an opportunity of privately inspecting his fac simile of the interior of the Regal Tomb which he discovered in the vicinity of Thebes. Our Readers will remember the ardent zeal with which this indefatigable and adventurous traveller prosecuted his subterranean researches in various parts of Egypt, surmounting every obstacle which the prejudices of the semi-barbaric Chiefs, the sordid avarice of his followers, or the mean jealousy and in trigues of his less enterprising rivals in discovery, opposed to him, without enumerating the natural difficulties attendant upon such undertakings; snr. sepunting all these, however, he at length succeeded in discovering one of the finest monuments of Egyp tian antiquity, the Tomb of King Psammis, and found it in a . state of preservation which is truly sur prising. Mr. BeLzont, in conjunct on with an Ica- Tian artist, after a Lear's persevering application, suc ceeded in taking correct models of the figures and ornaments contained in the Tomb, and has here pre sented them in the order in which they originally stood, in a form capable of gratifying British curio sky, without the fatigues and hazard which must at tend a visit to the sacred valley of Beban el Malook. On entering the saloon, our eyes are saldted on all sides by figures nearly as large as life, which stand in basso relievo from the walls, being an exact model, accompanied by a profusion of hieroglyphics. The whole of these are pourtrayed in various colours, the richness of whose tints, after a lapse of 3,000 years, is truly astonishing. Among these, we were much struck with one of the portraits, taken from the en trance-hall, which represents the Egyptian Divinity Osiris; behind Whom is the Goddess Buto, receiving King Psammis, who is introduced by Arueris (the Apollo of the Egyptians). The great profusion of ornaments, and the superior style in which these figures are represented, slew them to have been held in high consideration formerly. There is also in this chamber a very admirable model of a procession of Egyptians, conducting as captives parties orßabylo nians, Ethiopians, and Jews, taken during the reign of Necho, the father of Psammis, whose tomb this is supposed to be; in spite of the rude manner in which these figures are represented,.there is an adherence to national character, which, independent of the cos tume, sufficiently distinguishes the nations represented. On proceeding up stairs, we were shewn a model of the various corridors and passages connected with this tomb, from the entrance to its termination in the saloon, in which was deposited the Sarcophagus, which, we understand, is on its way to the British Museum. The whole interior of these chambers is laid open to the view, by an ingenious contrivance of Mr. BeLzour, who modelled them on a scale of one sixth of die original size. There are several other curiosities, which, having been collected in different parts of Egypt, are here presented to view. Among these, a very perfect Mummy of a Priest, and the remains of another, which have been lately deprived of their envelope, and which are in an extraordinary degree of preserv ation.--Such an Exhibition is really a most import ant acquisition to the world of science. Extract of a letter from Paris, dated the 23d in stant:—" Yesterday (Sunday) the Duke de Clizza went to Court to pay his respects to the KING and PRINCESS. His MAJESTY addressed him twice, in presence of all the persons in the Chateau. This is sufficient to destroy the malicious reports which the party opposed to him have been pleased to dissemi nate, as to his pretended disgrace. On the preceding evening the Duke was present in the Sitting of the Chamber of Peers."—The letter adds, that the ap pearance of the Duke at Court, and his reception, had filled the Ultras with rage and consternation. - - The Journal de Commerce says—" The following is related at Lisle, and has created much interest among the inhabitants of the village of Freling hien, where it occurred :—At the commencement of the French revolution a company of Artillery was stationed in the abovementioned village, where they remained during a very long period. An Officer of the company fell in love with a girl of the village, and married her acccording to the new ceremonies introduced, namely, by espousing her in presence of one of "the Civil Authorities. A female infant was the fruit of this union. A short time afterwards the company commenced the campaign, and quitted the cantonments for the field. It appears the Officer ob tained rapid promotion—his good fortune turned his head to such an extent as to make him forget his wife and child. At first he wrote but seldom, at length abandoned them, and wrote no more. The poor woman, thus deserted by her unfaithful hus band, was reduced to poverty, and by the labour of her hands maintained herself and child in the best manner she possibly could. Twenty-seven years passed on in this way, when she one day received a letter, dated from -one of the fortresses in the East, which informed her, that her husband, who had ar rived at the rank of Field Marshal, had just died, and left her all his property, which was very consi derable. At first she refused to believe this intelli gence; but a second letter set the matter beyond all doubt, and confirmed the happy event. It happened that an old soldier, a private belonging to the same company with the deceased, revealed to the poor woman everything that had occurred ; she succeeded in establishing her claims to the inheritance, and is now in possession of a brilliant fortune. They still reside in their old, obscure, and humble abode, where they have now brought t he splendid furniture of a French General. This adventure has caused a very great sensation in the village, and has raised the cu• • riosity of all the inhabitants." The Dublin Evening Post represents the sensation which the number of the majority of 39, on the Ca tholic Question, made in that city, as " very extraor dinary." It adds— " The Moderate Men, of all Parties, though they were not very sanguine as to the result, are, certainly, aitonished at the numbers which appeared against the Dili, and, particularly, at .. the puke of Yosx's explicit and unequivocal declaration of host kklity. The violent spirits of both panics are already taking their parts; and we foresee that the collision of sentiment and feeling will provoke a very angry temper in the country. No man who values the peace of society can contemplate the pma pects before us without Whigs of anxiety, and even dismay." LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCURY, APRIL 27. The Lon) CHANCELLOR this day came into Court shortly after ten o'clock, *arid having made orders in two or three cases of no public interest, proceeded to hear the remainder of the Lunatic Petitions on the paper. At half-past twelve his Lordship rose, and went into his private room. LORD BYRON'S TRAGEDYSICR RAY r. ELLISTON• The AT TORN Elf•G ENEBAL, on the Lord Chancel lor taking his seat in his private room, rose to move for the dtssolution of the Injunction which had been obtained by Mr. Shadwell, for stopping the perform ance, at Drury-Lane Theatre, of the piece taken from Lord Byron's work, entitled Marino Faliero, Doge of Venice. The Learned Gentleman having been heard at some length, Mr. SHADWELL was heard in support of the In junction, in the course of which The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed a wish that the I parties would settle the business among themselves. After some time spent in conversation between the Learned Counsel, the advice of his Lordship did not seem to be acceded to. The LORD CI: NCELLOR again pressed on the Counsel the propriety of an amicable arrangement, at the same time intimating an opinion that the In junction ought to be continued.—A farther conver sation here took place, at the conclusion of which his Lordship observed, that as the parties did not at present seem inclined to avail themselves of the course he had recommended, he should not at present give final judgment, but leave it open to them to again consider what course they would pursue. Should they, however, continue in their present mind, and call at his house to-morrow, at one o'clock, as he should be unable to come to the Court to-morrow, he would have drawn up, ready to be handed over to them, the order he might deliberatively make: at the same time, he felt he ought to impress on them the necessity of conciliation. COURT OF KING'S-BENCH, APRIL 27. DAVIE S. MITFORD, ESQ. AND OTHERS. This was an action of trespass against the defend ants, Commissioners of Bankrupt, for committing the plaintiff, an alleged bankrupt, to Newgate, by virtue of the sth Geo. 11. c. 30. sec. 16. on the ground of his not having satisfactorily answered certain in terrogatories, touching his estate and effects. At the trial before the Lord Chief Justice, at the London Sittings after Trinity Term the plaintiff bad a ver dict for £2OO damages. In NiichaelmasTerm the Court granted a Rule Nisi for setting aside the verdict, and entering a nonsuit. The particulars of this case have already been fully before the Public. In substance, the facts on which the_question was raised were these A Commission of Bankrupt was issued against the plaintiff on the 28th of September, 1818, and opened on the 3d of October, when he submitted, and surrendered to be examined by the defendants, to whom the Commission was directed. No satis factory elucidation of his affairs could be elicited from him to the interrogatories put on that occasion. This examination was therefore adjourned to a given day, and then further postponed from time to time until the sth of January, 1819, when he was directed to prepare a balance sheet. On that day the requisition was not complied with, and several further adjourn ments took place, and the 10th of August was pe remptorily given him to produce his balance sheet, which he promised to do. Failing to do this, be was on that day committed to Newgate, under the de fondants' warrant, which recited the previous pro ceedings—the plaintiff's undertaking to produce. a balance sheet, and his neglect to do so. After re maining for several weeks in custody, he was taken by Habeas Corpus Mr. Justice Best, and dis charged ; the Learned Judge being of opinion, that the commitment was not warranted by the sth Geo. 11. c. SO. s. 16. An action was afterwards brought by the plaintiff against the defendants, and the result was as above stated. Against the Rule Nisi obtained in Michaelmas Term, for setting aside the verdict, Mr. ADOLPHUS and Mr. P. PoLLoca now spewed cause, and contended, that the commitment of the plaintiff was illegal, and could not be justified by the Bankrupt Laws ; for that the Commissioners had no power to eommit him for not producing a balance sheet of his affairs. In all events, they insisted, that the warrant of commitment was clearly bad for gene- rality, and did, not pursue the words of the section, which gave the Commissioners power to commit. Mr. MARRYATT, Mr. GASELE; Mr. MONTAGU; and Mr. WILD; contra, argued in support of the Rule, that this was not merely a commitment for not producing a balance sheet, but for not giving sa tisfactory answers, touching the bankrupt's estate and effects, a proceeding which was fully authorised by the Bankrupt Laws.—The further argument and the judgment were postponed. Thursday evening, Mr.Thoza A S DOLBY, bookseller, of the Strand, was arrested at his own house, on a Judge's warrant, by two tipstaff's charged with pub lishing a libel on the Kum; and, last night, Mr. PATRICK KELLEHER, proprietor of the Real John Bull, was arrested, also charged with publishing a libel on the KING. The prosecutions are instituted at the instance of the Bridge-street Association. TOWN-HALL, SOUTRWARE.-Yesterday, Sarah Harris, Lodiana Bose, and Rebecca Archer, three young women, apparently from the ages o f 16 to 20, were brought up in the custody of George-Wel fare, and examined before Alderman J. J. SMITH, charged with decoying a girl about 15, named Ann Lemon, from her friends, and robbing her of various articles of apparel. It appeared that the prisoners inveigled the girl first to Tothil-fields fair, and after wards to a house in Dover-street, from which, how ever, she was rescued before the diabolical purpose of the prisoners could be accomplished. They had compelled her to part with some of the apparel she wore, for the purpose of pledging it. Mr. Alderman SMITH was of opinion, that the charge of.robbery was not established, but he committed the prisoners for the misdemeanour. WORSHIP- STREET.—G.Boye was charged with at tempting to cut his wife's throat. The parties had been married nearly 40 years. The culprit acknow ledged his error, but imputed it to drunkenness ; and the Magistrate endeavoured to effect a reconciliation, but the old woman refused, swearing she went in danger of her life. Another female swore, that when his intent was defeated, he declared he would accom plish his purpose at another time. He was therefore committed for want of bail. CORONERS' IYQUEST. Thursday, as Inquest was held at the sign of the Oxford Arms, Hampstead-road, near the Canal, be fore Tnottas STIRLING, Esq. Coroner for the County of Middlesex, on the body of John Jones, a carpenter, who met with his death in the following extraordi nary manner :—James Rennin, of the Mansfield Arms, Kentish Town, carpenter, being sworn, said he had known the deceased for some time; he was a single man, and about 25 years of age. About twelve o'clock last Monday, at noon, witness was in company with the deceased, at the George, on the Hampstead road, where they came to dinner ; after dinner each went to his separate employ, and witness saw him again at the George, between seven and eight o'clock in the evening, alter work. 'Witness was in his com pany at the George and White Horse, in Pond-street, until twelve o'clock at night, when they came away together ; and when they arrived at the lock-house, the man at the lock said they had no business there at that time of night, and to mind the stones at the bottom of the bridge. While the lock-keeper was speaking to him, the deceased said " Jump into the lock !" and with that he immediately jumped in.— The lock-keeper was present at the time, and saw it. Witness climbed down by the water-gate, and, with i the assistance of the lock-keeper, he got the deceased out in about three minutes. He appeared dead when taken out of the water ; they carried him to the house, and witness went for a Doctor, and Mr. Roberts came and tried every possible means for his recovery, with. out success. After witness and the deceased left the White Horse, witness perceived he was intoxicated : but he talked in a reasonable manner, and did not mention anything that distressed his mind. Witness cannot in any way account for his jumping into the water, otherwise than that he did it in a state of in toxication.—James Moor, keeper of the lock near this house, deposed he heard the testimony of the last wit ness ; and that part of it respecting his jumping into the lock, at which witness was present, is quite cor rect; the deceased was four or five yards distant from the lock when he said he would jump in ; and from his being intoxicated, witness imagined he said he would jump in by way of joke, but did not intend to do so ; it was very dark at the time ; he was taken out of the water in about four minutes.—Robert Ro. berts, of Camden Town,- Surgeon, deposed he was called to the deceased bout one o'clock on Tuesday morning : he had him tubbed for about an hour ; he attempted to bleed him in the neck and arm ; he bled freely from the jugular vein, but never 'hewed the least appearance of life. There were no marks of violence on the body, and witness has no doubt but he died from suffocation in the water.—Here the evidence closed ; and the Jury, after some time, re turned a Verdict—" That the deceased was drowned is a state of extreme intoxication." The late Dr. GREGORY, of Edinburgh, had a habit of imputing the diseases of his west-country patients to immoderate doses of punch. On one occasion he remarked to a self-elected Magistrate, 44 Sir you have been a very hard liver I" 4 4 If have," said the Bail ley, Nit has been on sour milk r Not a single swallow has yet been observed on the coast, although the Middle of the present month is the usual time of their arrival; but this is imputable to the boisterous gales from the west, south-west, and south. FAHRENHEIT'S thermometer has risen, in three days, from 45 to 70 degrees, a difference of tempe rature equal to that change of temperature, in diffe rent latitudes, which might be experienced by as sud den a transition from the north of Englan . d to the south of Italy. April 22, at nine, A.M. It was at 45 degrees ; April 23, at the same hour, at 55 degrees ; April 24, at three P.M. the mercury stood at 70 de grees in a north-east aspect, in the shade. April 26, at two P. M. the same thermometer was at the extra ordinary height of 73 degrees. The thermometer, in the open air, in Barton-stree Westminster, on Wednesday last, was 80 degrees. The great Cheese-market, at Wells, Somerset, held the first Saturday in each month, was most nume rously attended. A great quantity was fetched and sold, though at rather reduced prices. The clothiers who attended this market, and the shops of the place, received on that claymore money forarticles sold than has been known to be received rot: several years past. Thursday afternoon, about four o'clock, as Mr. MATTHEWSON, of Ma rshal -stmt, St. James's, was travelling in his gig from Cobham, on the Forest of Chertsey, on his way to London, he ivas stopped in a lane, about three miles from the latter place, by three fellows undisguised, two of whom presented pistols and demanded his money, whilst the third stood at the horse's head. He gate them seven pounds in notes and. some silver, all he had about him, when they took his watch and his brooch. The villains next cut the harness and turned the horse loose, and they compelled Mr. MATTHEWSON to go to the farther end of a large field, threatening his life if he did not comply. The three escaped without its being known which way they went. A few evenings since a respectably-dressed woman went into a Wes' boot and shoemaker's shop in the Strand, and fitted on two pair of boots, and re quested that the shop-boy might accompany her to her lodging with them, when she would pay for them. This was accordingly complied with, and leiding the ,boy through several courts, she told him that she *mild pay for them herself, as it would save him the trouble of going further with her: she gave him seven half-crowns, the price of the boots, and the boy then delivered them to her ; but suspecting from her manner that all was not right, he followed her and observed her go into a house in a court leading from the Strand ; he then returned home, and it was soon discovered that the half-crowns whic h he had re ceived from the woman in payment for the boots were all bad. A constable was immediately procured, and he went with the boy, whqpointed out the house into which he had seen the woman enter, but on in quiry no tidings could be gained of her. It is pro bable that she observed the boy following her, and went into the house on some pretence for the purpose of eluding him. Friday se'nnigbt, a constable apprehended a wo man begging at Low-hill, Liverpool On searching her person, the following articles were found:— twenty-three Irish crowns, nine Spanish dollars ' fifty half-crowns, sixteen shillings and sixpence in silver, • tea silver spoons, and a pair of buckles.
