DRURY-LANE THEATRE.-The Tragedy of Jame sore was acted yesterday evening, for - the purpose rir bringing forward a young Lady of the name of IDMONSTONE, stated to be her first appearance on any stage, in the principal character—she appears to be very young—her figure is good, and allowance' being made for the embarrassments inseparable from a first appearance, she displayed powers of a very su perior order. We recollect but few female performers •rho could at all compete with her in gracefulness of action and motion ; and still fewer whose hy. play could be compared with hers. During the whole time sbe appeared on the stage, she was acting. If she spoke nut, her looks and gestures were sufficiently in telligible. .They declared, distinctly, the feelings which agitate Shine's unhappy wife. Her scene with the Protector, in which she avows her loyalty to Ed ward's offspring, was acted with much spirit, parti cularly that part of it in which, cairied away by her enthusiastic feelings, Jane Shore pours forth a pas sionate benediction on Lord Hastings. Her con cluding scene was distinguished by a vein of strong natural feeling,w•hich made its way direct to the heart. She WAS raptUraisly applauded.—Kemi's Hastings was an excellent performance. The character is be neath his taleats : but it is the property of genius to elevate and dignify everything it touches; and, undoubtedly, Mr. KEAN shed more interest round the Lord Chamberlain, and rendered him a more promi nent and important personage than usual.—Alicia *as pourtrayed with considerable ability by Mrs. EGERTON. The Play, altogether, went off with spit it, and was announced for repetition on Monday, amidst rte phrldits of the audience. Covewr-Gaaven.—The Play of The Fxile, with the magnificent pageantry, still retains its interest with the Public ; it was last night repeated to a very numerous audience, and received u its the usual marks of approbation. The lively Farce of The Two Page., closed the evening's I.eiformances. Mr. ABBOTT, of Covent-Garden Theatre, is so far recovered from the wound he received. that he will resume his theatrical duties early in neat week. smITHFIELDCLUB CATTLE MEM Yesterday morning the twenty-third Annual Exhi bition opened, of fat Cattle, Sheep, and Pins, sent up from most of the Counties within 150 miles of Lon don, to be shewn for the Premiums offered by the Smithfield Club, and by his Grace,the Duke of 'Bgo• roam, the late President thereof.

In consequence of the reception of a letter by the • pursuer's agents from the defenders, requiring that Lord Archibald Hamilton should take the oath of calumny personally in the Jury Court, Mr. JEFFREY stated that the Noble Lord bad come to town for that purpose, and moved that it should.now be ad ministered. The Counsel for the defenders objected to its being then taken, although they still reserved to themselves the power to require it afterwards, if they judged it necessary. Mr. JEFFREY then read a letter from his Lordship, intimating his Lordship's acquiescence in the demand made by the defenders, and further stating, that important business requiring his attendance in London, some time might elapse before his return. Mr. JEFFREY requested that this letter be entered on the records of the Court, which was done accordingly. NAVAL. LVTELLNENCE.

This is a cause in which the pursuer, Professor Leslie, claims damages of the defender, William Blackwood, for the publication of an article in his Magazine, reflecting on the pursuer's character. After the Rule to shew cause had been read, Mr. HOPE appeared for the defender, and objected to the alleged libels going to a Jury before they were determined as such by the Court of Session. Mr. JRFFRRY, in reply, contended that, un!es; it was intended to annul the Jury Act, their Lordships should immediately proceed to trial. The LORD CHIEF COMMISSIONRR.—The Court re mits the case, that its relevancy may be determined by the Court of Session. As this is the last day of Term, of course this action cannot come again before the Court till after the recess. In the Palace Court, ye. ter day, an action was brought by Mr. LAYTON, re!..i ling near Greenwich, against Major WiLstorr, of the Royal Artillery, to recover the value of a cow, a calf, and a pony, which the defendant, after delivery, refined to take, on the ground that they did not a•iswer the description that had been given of them. After a long trial, which lasted five hours, and much conflicting testimony, the Jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, £l9. 10s. Yesterday afternoon an Inquis:tion was held at the Black Horse public-house, Tottenham Court-road, before THOMAS STIRLING, Eq. Coroner for Middle sex, on the body of Mr. Abraham Slade, late of that place, purveyor of meat to her late Maje,ty, QUEEN CAROLINE. Mrs. Laxton, of No. C'2, Edgeware-road, stated that on Tues day week, between eight and tine o'clock in the evening, as she was sitting in her shop, she heard a noise in the street, which was shortly after followed by an exclamation of." For lion's sake take it off, for lam killed !" On going into the street, she saw the deceased led along by two men; he complained of a hurt in his head, and expressed his fears that his leg was broken. A Gentleman asked how the accident happened, to which he re plied that he was driving towards home in his gig, when he dis covered something amiss with the harness, and he was stending by the side of the chaise, adjusting it, when a stage-coach.which was driving along at a furious pace, ran down bout him and his vehicle, although there was room enough for the driver to pass without coming in contact with hint. A little further on, wit ' cress perceived a coach lying on its side in the middle of the road. and she also observed two females, who she believed were passengers, and bad fainted from the effects of the injuries they had received ; as soon as the coach was got up. the driver re mounted the box, and drove away, taking no further notice of the deceased. Mr. Saunders, also living in the Edgeware-road, was alarmed by a noise, which induced him to run into the street with a lighted candle, which, however, was unfortunately blown out. He saw deceased lying under his own horse and gig, which were overturned. and a stage.coacll was forcing them dung, but the coachman in endeavouring to get clear of the gig was also over turned. lie did not know to whom the coach belonged, but he knew the name of the man whom be saw with it (and who be supposed was the driver) to be Thomas Stratford; he wan in the employ of Messrs. Kanner, proprietors of the Bayswater coaches; he was not a regular coachman, but was occasionally permitted to drive. William Jones, a watchman in the Rdgeware road, stated, that as be was walking along his beat he saw the deceased standing between his chaise and the kirb.stone, seemingly fixing his har ness. lie had not passed hint many minutes before be heard the cracking of a whip, and immediately afterwards aloud crash. He returned back, and found the chaise and a stagecoach upset in the road. The deceased was lying between the hinder part of the chaise and the horses, and seemed to have been very much injured. Witness held his lantern whilst some persons took him up, and carried him into the house of Mr. Griffiths, adjoining, where he received every attention. He saw the coachman, who was muddy, as were also some men who were with him; they all appeared drunk. There were two women likewise, but they had received no material hurt by the f.ll. He considered there was sufficient light for any man upon a conch-box to have seen the deceased's chaise. W. Plass, apprentice to Mr. Goodall, auctioneer, in the Edge ware-road, was alarmed by a noise, and on going into the street, found the coach and chaise as already described; he assisted in lifting up the conch and saw " Notting painted under the window. He described the conduct of the coachman as being marked with the greatest levity even after the acedent had happened, and several of the by standers reproved him for his conduct. Mr. Morris, a coach-owner, was called, and proved tint the coachman in question was not los supposed) in his service, but with Messrs. Kinner, at Bayswater, who acted for Mr. Corder, the real owner. He added, that in consequence of the present regulations in the City, much inconvenience was felt by the pro prietors, and passengers were in great danger of their lives. He produced some documents explanatory of those inconveniences, and the Jury said they would take them into their consideration, and come to a presentment on the subject. A great number of other witnesses were examined, from whose testimony it was ascertained that the driver and kis companions were drunk, and that they had left a public-house called the Star and Gil ter, for the purpose of having a drive about for pleasure. The Jury said they could come to no conclusion until every step had been taken to prove the identity of the driver, that he might be brought to justice.— Mr. STIRLING was of the same opinion, and the Jury accordingly adjourned till next week. Yesterday an Inquest was held at Guy's Hospital, on the body of It. Alsop, who, while fixing up some shelves in the counting-house of Mr. Musket, a co lourman, in Snow's-fields, fell upon the point of a chisel, which was point upwards. An incision was made in the groin, through which his bowels pro truded. He died in great agony on Friday, three days after the accident. Verdict—Accidental Death.
