DAY. ) males anj to resrective THE THEATRES. DRURY-LANK, The splendid Spectacle of The Cataract of tke Ganges; or, the Rajah's Daughter, was repeated last night, with, if possible, increased success, and amidst the warm and plaudits COVENT-GARDEN. of another crowded audience. reiterated The Inconstant was revived at this Theatre last night. Upward . s of one.hundred and twenty years have elapsed 'meths Comedy was first performed ; but the dialogue is still fresh, and full of that buoyancy, smartness, and imagination we should be so happy to find a living d r amatist capable of imitating. On the present occa sion the principal characters were thus disposed of:— Old Mirabel, Mr. W. FARREN ; Young Mirabel, Mr. Kessatz; Darutete, Mr. JONES; Asgard, Mr. BAKER; Bizarre, Mrs. CHATTERLEY ; Oriatia, Miss FOOTS. With Mr. FARREN'S peculiar style of acting the Pub. lic are familiar ; he seldom varies in his action, manner, or delivery, and in this instance we remarked no novelty. In Durutete, JONES had many difficulties to contend with, but he fought boldly and with much popularity. A titer piece of acting in high comedy than CHARLES KIMBLE'S Young Mirabel we have never witnessed. It was throughout perfection. His appearance was manly, fashionable, and prepossessing. His action in the out set was elegant and free, and his delivery graceful, and calculated to soften the allusions bordering on indeli cacy which occur in his first scent:. The dialogue with Oriana respecting the contract was admirably deli vered, both with respect to point and passion, and ccm• mantled great applause. The cool indifference with which he treated the presumption of Bizarre was highly diverting; the ahand spirit with which he triumphed over her assumed indifference most gentlemanlike, but -effective; and rift utter confusion into which he threw her by his reading and ridicule, an exquisite specimen of vivacity and witty rebuke. In every interview with his father and Oriana there were touches of genuine, manly feeling, which displayed the consummate skill of the actor, end rescueckbe character.from that impute tion of teattless depravity, which is too likely to be at tached tout when represented by a less masterly artist. Nothing could be wiser or in better taste than the avi dity with which he seized on every opportunity to prove that though his'irregularities might give pain, the injury was 'Unpremeditated, and was no sooner committed than it was repented of. The scene with Lantorcc and the Bravos was perhaps his greatest, and was received with the most enthusiastic applause. The acclamations with which the whole house rung, reminded us of the 'triumphs of JOHN Kuntz, and the days when KEAN in his zenith attracted thunders of applause. It is ex traordinary that CHARLES KIMBLE should never before have performed this character. His conception is so ad mirable, and his execution of it so perfect, that it is per haps the happiest specimen he ever offered of his genius and accomplishments. Miss FOOTE exhibits improvement with each fresh character of importance that sheassumes. Nothing could be more elegant than her performance last night; a greater portion of strength and power would have rendered it more effective, but as it was it was delightful. The minor parts were respectably filled, and the conclusion of the play was marked by great and universal applause. After the Play a most extraordinary medley was pro duced, under the title of a new Ballet of Action, called Barold the- Renegade; or, The Red Cross Knights. The object of it was to introduce a certain Senhor VENAFRA to the English stage. SenhorVetravaa comes from-Lis bon; an., his peifOrmance has at least the merit of no velty. He dances in a very extraordinary way : a gro tesque species of movement, exhibiting great force and agility, and flexibility of limb—midway between the styles of rAULO and GRIMALDI. He fences; too, with great dexterity, and runs the round of the pas sions in serious pantomime ; something in the way, as we have heard, of old DELPHINI, but like nothing we have had in England of late. The Ballet constructed for this Gentleman is a very bad one. It is tastefully ai ranged in parts (though too long); and the music, grouping, and dressing, of it are all commendable; but it wants the aid of a " first serious dancer;" and still more, an intelligible plot or story. There is a ghost in it, who excites great disappointment. Mr. VENAIRA was not so well received as he might have been by the audience ; but he has great energy, and some origina lity of manner. ADELPHL Tow and Jerry have again resumed their larks and areas, and apparently with undiminished attractions, for on MonclAy night we found some difficulty in ob taining a seat at an early hour. WRZNCII . B genuine Co siathianisne, ,Rasvia laughable whimsicality of humour, and WlLatusoa's " flash and patter,* kept the house in a roar. This piece promises a renewal to the Proprie tors of a golden race. MINING INTELLIGENCIL—Copper ores sold at Red slab, October 23, 5005 tons. Copper ores for sale next week at Truro, 9646 tons. It is stated in one of the French Papers of Saturday ,evening that the Military Commandant-General of Mur cia has issued a Proclamation, which declares-the town of Carthagena in a state of siege, for having refused to submit to the orders expedited by his Majesty since his delivery, which were, that he should forthwith. recognize his sovereign authority, and deliver up the fortress to his troops, or to those of his Most Christian Majesty, to be occupied in his name. The flag of truce which entered was received with invectives: he was even fired upon. --In this Proclamation the Governor of Carthagena is designated by our Governor, a traitor to the King, and an enemy to his Royal righ ts. All the battalions and companies of the Royal Volunteers are invited to meet and take part in the siege. Captain LYON, the able coadjutor of Captain PARRY. in his recent attempt for the discovery of a North West . Passage, was the friend and companion of the late Mr. RlTuille, the African traveller. When that Gentleman reached Malta, Captain LYON, then Lieutenant of his Majesty's ship AusioN, volunteered his services to ac company him, and as soon as he obtained the sanction of GovernMent, followed Mr. ittitiits to Tripoli, at which place, after being prepared as a Mussulman, they commenced their journey under the protection of the Sultan of FBZZAW, who happened to be then paring his tribute to the Bay. During the journey through the territories of the latter, the Barbarian conducted himself in a proper manner but when he came within his own district, he ceased his friendly care. On arriving at Morzouk the persecutions of this Mahomitan renegado' continued to increase, and suffering the greatest priva tions in food and clothing, Mr. Racine paid the debt of nature. Captain Lyon and his surviving companion, JOHN BaLYORD, also experienced the greatest distress, and ultimately returned to Tripoli, without having been able, from illness and other unforeseen events, to reach the Niger. LAW INTELLIGENCE.: . COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OCTOBER CLARE V. BARBER BEAUMONT. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated that the plaintiff was a Gentleman of considerable mathematical skill, and was the Director of two Offices, called the European and Beacon Fire Offices ; the defendant was also the Pro prietor of the County Fire Office. The plaintiff was obliged to bring this action for libels, which appeared successively in the Morning Post and Morning Herald. It was unnecessary for the Counsel to make any corn ments upon such a libel. The manner in which it was circulated was in the most extensive way, by setting it off in one of the puffs of the County Fire Office, deco• rated with the building of the County Fire Office,, purporting to have been taken from the Pantheon atl l Rome. No person could doubt that this paragraph was directed to Mr. Clarke, because it' referred to a situa tion in the Philanthropic Society held by Mr. Clark.— This Gentleman was engaged to go to Edinburgh to su perintend an office, to be in fact the cashier there, at a certain salary, and to transmit the money he received there to Pall-mall; two years he honourably held that situation, and then was requested to go to Dublin for a further two years, on a similar cause. Then Mr. Clarke, supposing the business was not going on pro perly, came to London, found his suspicions properly grounded, called a meeting of the Committee, and it was found that a Rev. Gentleman, who had been in the receipt of the monies, had applied them to his own use, who then went out of the country and has not since been heard of; the Society was than broken up. The first libel, as it appeared in The Morning Post, was in these terms : "New Insurance Company.—Dr. Price said of the projectors of Insurance and Annuity Schemes, in his day (about forty years ago), they believe that the scheme they are supporting will last their time, and that they will. be gainers ; and as to the injury that may be done to their successors or to others, it is at a distance, and they care little about it. In the event they all failed, but the projectors of the present day find it of little consequence whether their schemes will last their time or not, for if, by underselling, they can only raise a business, they gain a profitable employ ment ; and when they have exhausted the money they have collected, a neseeet-of dupes enable them to start a new scheme and gain new profits. Two New insur ance Companies are announced to effect insurances -at 25 per cent. under theordinary rates ; the projector of which was the . Manager of au Insurance and Annuity Company, which, after a run of some years, he finished, without leaving the annuitants and share-holders one shilling."—The charge for the libel in the Herald was abandoned, in consequence of a variance is the counts of it. . . The Learned Soucreoft-GENERAL declared that the plaintiff never was the Director, nor Manager of the Philanthropic Society, but a mere clerk ; and on the malignancy of such a libel as this he would make no comments, for every man must know how prejudicial such a statement in the public prints must be, respect ing an institution upheld by the credit it gains from public opinion. The damages.were laid at Ten Thousand Pounds. Charles Foreman was called, and examined by Mr. Scantrrr.—He was employed at The Morning Post Office, when the above libel was published—remem bered messenger from the County Fire Office ing theparagraph to that office, and paying for it,with the amount of some other..; dvertisementa r -could not remember he messenger's:l4w, but knows Mr. Beau mont, and believes him tikb4t4hetidanagir of the County Fire Office. William Harman sworn—He is the messenger for . the County Fire Office, employed by Mr. Beaumont * , who is the Director, and lives in the same house. remembers carrying the paragraph to The Morning Pod, but cannot remember by whore direction. There are twelve clerks in his master's office, and could not say in whose hand-writing the paragraphrss. Chas. Chievland sworn—He is a g k in the County Fire Office, and believes the writipg. asibe in the hand of Eller, a clerk in the Provident cafe Insurance Office. which is a branch of the same establishment.. Eller sworn—Believes the interlineations in di. manuscript sent to The Morning Post to be in the hand• writing of Mr. Beaumont. The Swami-Gauze/it begged to apprise the wit ness that he was not obliged to answer any question that would convict himself of having written a libel, and therefore the question was not put to him, 'who wrote the bodj of the paragraph? Mr. COMMON SEILISANT then addressed - the Jury as ,behalf of the defendant, but called no witnesses. Ha `Submitted that this was nothing but a fair criticism'by the Directors of one rival institution against another. That it was a fact undenied that the plaintiff bad been I connected with the Philanthropic Society which' had duped so many individuals, and it was but fair that the Public should know on what footing . the same indivi dual intended to carry on two more institutions.. He trusted, if the Jury should find a verdict for the plain-1 tiff, that it would be merely nominal, because, if these institutions were entitled to the public confidence, surely , all that had been said in the Papers about them could not injure them. „. The LORD CHM/ JUSTICE summe d up. WV lord ship had no doubt whatever that a scandalotis libel was clearly proved, beginning at the words " Two new Insurance Companies are announced," &c. and it Would be for the Jury to say what amount of damages ought I to be given. As to the former part of the paragraph; his Lordship thought there was nothing libellous. . , The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff:l.4s.l muses £2OO, costs 40s. , 1+ CLARKE V. OLINDON. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated that this action arose I I out of the last. The defendant was the printer for the County Fire Office, and, as the plaintiff came into Court only for the purpose of vindicating his character, he was willing to take a nominal verdict, which was agreed to on the other side. The Cowls. directed the Jury to find for the plaintif4 Damages, One Shilling. KTNASTON AND OTHERS V. MITCHELL AND OTHERS. This was an action of trover brought by the assignees of Mr. James Wildman, a bankrupt, to recover the value of certain securities assigned by Mr. Wildman to the defendant% previous to his bankruptcy. It appeared that Messrs. Mitchell, who were admitted to be merchants of high character, had large dealings with Mr. Wildman, who was a West India inerclinid4 and 'bathe had been indebted to them in largeness* but before October, 1820, their claim on him duced, by various payments, to about 11,0001. younger brother, however, Mr. Francis Henry MI • was a creditor of Mr. Wildman to the extent of 20,0004 and was under acceptances for him to the amount of 22.0001- more. Under these circumstances, Messrs. Mitchell agreed to advance the 20,0001. taking an as signment of the securities in question,which was accord ingly executed on the 4th of October, 1820. The assignees now sought to recover these securities on the ground that the deed was a voluntary preference of the defendants to his other creditors, and was made in contemplation of bankruptcy. • In order to shew that at the time when the deed was executed Mr. Wildman knew that he was insolvent, evi dence at considerable length was adduced as to the state of his affairs at that period. It was necessary, however, in order to maintain the tide of the assignees to sue, to prove the commission of an act of bankruptcy, and for this purpose they relied on the deed itself, which, it it were a voluntary preference, would amount to an act of bankruptcy. To give it this effect, Mr. SCARLETT, for the plaintiffs, referred to the examination of Mr. Mitchell' before the Commissioners, in 'Which he did not allege that he had pressed Mr. Wildman for this deed as a se curity for the repaynient of the 20,0001. Mr. SOLICITOR-GRNERAL' for the ' defendant., con tended, that the first step in the cause, the act of bank ruptcy, was not proved, because the plaintiffs had en tirely failed to shew that the deed was a voluntary pre ference. At the examination of Mr. Mitchell, he was never asked the question whether the deed was executed in pursuance of the agreement for the advance of 20,0001. and if it had been asked, the dispute would have been settled at once by his reply. Those who knew how such examinations were conducted, would not be surprised that Mr. Mitchell had not 'volunteered that statement which be was able to give; his honour and veracity were above question, and there was nothing in this transaction which could for a moment impeach them. The LORD CHM JUSTICE was strongly expressing his opinion that the evidence did not support a case of voluntary preference, when Mr. SCARLETT rose, and elected to be nonsuited, ob serving there could be no imputation on the character of Mr. Mitchell.—Plaintiffs were accordingly nonsuited. DREADFUL AND DARING OUTRAGE. Monday afternoon one of the most unexampled and desperate attempts to plunder the King's Head public house, Bayswater, and to maim the inmates, that per haps was ever heard of, was made in the following sin gularly daring manner by a gang of ruffians Mr. Gibbins, the landlord, and his wife, were absent in town on business, and had left the care of the house to the waiter, named George Barrett. It is supposed this circumstance, from being known, stimulated the cow ardly ruffians to the attempt, as about five o'clock eight fellows entered the tap-room, and called for some liquor, and had scarcely received it when they com menced, insulting and abusing, without any provo cation, three tradesmen who were drinking some por ter. They prudently took no notice of anything that was said, until one of the ruffians, a powerful fellow, jumped up, ran across the room, and struck one man, two tremendous blows on the face. The waiter was instantly called, and be endeavoured to restore order, but to no purpose; as they said, with horrid oaths, they came to have a lark, and would dance, sing, and fight with any person in the place; the waiter remon strated, and received some violent blows, and was seized by four of the fellows; who thrust him out of the room, and endeavoured to fling him down the cellar, but being a powerful man, the attempt failed, and he knocked two of the fellows down, and turned two more but of the house and closed the door ; those who remained in the tap-room beat in a shameful man tier the persons whom they had first insulted, and then jumped out of the window. The whole party after wards burst the panels of the door and again entered, but Barrett, the waiter, judging their intention, in a very' ' intrepid manner, defended his master's property until assisted by the neighbours, who, after a desperate fight, overpowered the gang, and, with the assistance of Brad bury, the beadle, lodged them in Paddington watch house, and yesterday morning brought them to Mary. la-bonne Police-office, where they were eranainedby the Sitting Magistrates and gave their names Benjamin Holland, W. Richardson, U. Broik,;,- Butler, Williams Haggitt, Humphries, Thompson, and Henry Fording ; when several witnesses, who presented the appearance of having received dreadful injuries, deposed to the above facts; adding, that the first five prisoners were very active in the affray ; four of them were re cognized by the officers, and by Bradbury, as well known characters; the others were running dustmen. The Magistrate said, he had not the slightest doubt but they intended to rob the house; their conduct plainly convinced him that was their intention. Seve ral similar outrages, without any visible cause, had lat terly taken place and he could not help supposing that they all' riginated in a deep-laid plan to plunder the Public; therefore he should hold the five prisoners who were identified, in good bail, of which they must all give 24 hours' notice; in default of which they were committed, and the others were discharged. tac CHANCELLOR AND LORD STOWELL.—The fact of two brothers obtaining Peerages through the avenue of legal eminence is in itself remarkable ; but-there are other circumstances in the Scort family which are ex tremely peculiar. Lord Srowar.r., who is about ten years older than his brother, is a twin with a sister, who, we believe, still survives: The Loan CHANCELLOR, who is the issue of a second marriage, and consequently only half-brother to Lord Srowat.t., is also a twin with a sister, deceased. During the time Lord Upon was Chief Justice of the Colston Pleas, the two brothers sat upon the same bench as Judges one Admiralty Sessions, an incident Athich it would also be difficult to parallel. • The Freeholders of the county of Caithness have, at their Michaelmas Head. Court, unanimously resolved to address the Legislature on the grievance of alternate Represynation, - and to invite the co-operation of the count* of Bute, Nairn, Cromarty, Clackmaunan, and Kinross, similarly represtinted. Yesterday evening tour male convicts, from North ampton, were conveyed by coach to Woolwich, and put on board the hulks.—Last night, seven male convicts, from Leioeseer, and this morning tfiree males from Huntingdon, were sent off to the hulks at Sheerness.

The folloWing case occurred at the Northern Meeting Races (In verness), and is now before the Jockey Club, on a reference from the Stewards and parties concerned. It is quoted here as a curious =. A large stake was held out " for ponies not exceeding bands," and all the ponies entered for it stood under the standard, according to the only mode of measurement known upon turf—namely, by being placed (with plates or Without shoes) ea a surface of five feet long by two and a Isalf wide. Before starting, however, the usual mode of measurement was objected to by some of the parties, and oae of the ponies being above the height "(something less than half an inch) in his ordinary standing position, the race was run under protest ; it was Woo lay the pony objected to, and the case has in consequence conic before the Jockey Club. The point to be determined is, Whether pony races fall to be regulated by the rules applicable to all other races, where no other rules are laid down ? This question is, no doubt, somewhat new, and it is high time it should be sett led; but the wonder is, that it should ever have been put. The merest tyro on the turf is aware of the standard or mode of Measurement referred to, and it appears to be past all doubt, that it must apply to every case whatever (whether of licensed racers, country bred horses, ponies, or hacks), unless a different rule is laid down, and 'expressly made known to the parties who are induced to come for ward. It may be added, that the difference between the racing measure and the other mode is so very trifling, that it cannot, in any case amount to More than half an inch in height, and it is well known that this is always given, whatever way is adopted. Bet our friends in the North are great sticklers, and some of them per haps (accordln to their own saying,)" if they get an inch might take an eIL"-3dirgA iggerver. GYMNASTICS AT FARLEY REVEL, OXON. - The. anniud Revel and distribution of prize. for gymnastic sports, took-place on Monday, and some of the best men exhibited in trials of strength. It is a charter by which' the inheritor of Farley estate holds it by tenure, on paying £lO per annum to promote the sports, and in which the patrician, as well as the peasant, juin the sports, and finish the day in hospitable cheer. The first prize of forty shillings was awarded to Harrison, a So mersetshire man, for his skill in broakhig six heads at backsword, or singlessick playing ; and Thorpe, a Berkshire man, received twenty shillings as second best. The next award was forty shillings to Robinson, from Wiltshire, as the best wrestler at what is termed collar and elbow, and twenty shillings to Sem, from Oxfordshire. The boys next had their fun in catching oranges with their mouths, out of tubs of water, without the use of hands. The last entertainment was a race of a quarter of a mile between damsels born in the Hundred, for a chemise decbrated with yellow boles. has, Nelly Simpson woo this prise, and Miss Nancy Jarrot received ten shillings as second. The day closed with regaling the rustic peasantry with good cad English fare. 130XER3. _ _ Heehaw axe Waal.—The;;;;;;Mstnesons and tip-top meeting at a &met at Randah's yesterday, on making good the whole of the stakes between these heroes of the fistic art.
