H I rot, ft. of the various movemeueo for- the Monroe" in etiotemplation of his 111a.terry, none uppeors tie fully decided upon as his visit to Ireland. Indeed it is now considered as quite Certain. His MA. MISTY proposes to set out -m • Wednesday, the rib iustaat. This amusement proceeds upon the supposition that the • remaining business before Parliament well be disposed of in three weeks, so that , the Session , may close about the Wit. His be- accompanied by his Royal Wilsoeu the Duke of CLASINCII, and eitaisisol hythe great officers of State, and all the of the Royal Household necessary to his persona convenience. The Secretary of State for ittri Ilinne Deportment will. accompany his Ma'am Nit it is not certeitt• that the attendance of any oilier of the Ministors• will be required. His doctor, Sir M ATTIIEW MINOT, and Mr.Wa Leo, apothecary, will be lb his suite, and rimy Noblemen and persons of distinction, particulsrly lrisb, will avail themselves of the opportunity to visit Dobtin at the same time, as a murk of their respect to his MaJeate, and to contribute by their rank and numbers to the eclat of the scene. We Lately stated that his MAJSSTY would not sleep out of the Castle of Dublin, and that his escur- sions woold be limited to en extent round that city; within the compass of being accomplished in a day. This arrangement remains unaltered; but this extent, although thus limited in space, con tains great capability and attraction. Within it are Slane Castle, the beautiful seat of the Mar. Os of COPIYIIGHAM, on the banks of the Bnyne s in the county of Meath, and adjoining Bees Park, the seat of ,Mr., LAYBERT, brother-in-law of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, also in the same county. Slane Castle is little more than twenty miles from Dublin. Preparations are making there for his MAJESTY'S reception. All the family plate which was deposited in the Castle of Dublin has been brought to it for that purpose. Headfort, the seat of the Marquis of HEADFORT, is within eleven miles of Slane Castle, and will be probably hoopoes ed with a visit. The county of Wicklow also con tains the noble seats of the Earl of MEATH and Viscount Powesscouar, both within •dozen miles of Dublin. Cartown, the seat of the Duke of LEINSTER ;. Palmerston, on the Liffey.. the seat of the Earl of Dosovonmoas ; and many other noble and magnificent seals, are within the limited came pos. Several of them may expect a royal vie*, but at present Shine Castle is the only one for which that honour has been expressly announced. His MAJESTY will go on board the royal yacht at Brighton or Portsmouth, attended by a squadron of small ships of war, and intends to go direct to Dublin. Should he proceed in the first in. stance to Cork, a coarse which will probably depend on the wind and weather, lie proposes to continue his voyage thence to Dublin, but the weather may pito, ilfeet this determination, and educe him to proceed by hind to that city. His nail to Ireland will probably occupy six weeks, after which it is his bloJrurev's intention to.retura by Edinburgh to London. We are happy to find that his MAJESTT is now in perfect health, and that any doubts on that subject arising from his recent con finement are entirely dissipated. The operation which caused it was not one that threatened any serious consequences. It was the excision of a tumour from the back of his heed.' It was originally a small kernal, caused, it is presumed, by some hurt, and had existed many yrars without any change. Lately, however, it began to increase in size, and upon a consultation of the faculty it was judged prudent to have it removed. The operation lasted twelve minutes, and war accompanied with considerable pain. Mr. ASTLET Coorea performed the operation : we understand he is rewarded with a British Ba ronetcy, for which the patent is making out.— From this arrangement it is evident that the Coronation cannot take..plsee before his MA JESTY'S visit to Ireland, and are do not think it Probable that it will take place after it in the pre eiat year. It is very true, the actual ceremony of the Coronation will occupy only one day ; but this very circumstance requiring extraordinary precision is a combination of such various details, emotes a a priiiiipal part of the difficulty: An infinite va riety of party must be brought to act end meet in one point, in order to constitute a perfect whole, and this requires the most mature deliberation and foresight ; every minute want must be foreseen ; .very accident must be guarded against; every auer is the scene must be complete in his part. ;; , ales, it will be the end of August before his , ‘lstesvy will return front Ireland. a season when toe Nobility and • Gentry have returned to their vuotry seats or watering-places, after a long and billowing series of public duty requiring ttiaxatioli, tad when it will be extremely incou veinent to them to resume their residence ill hnsn, although only for a short time. We groat 'lint the preparations in Westminster Abbey and. 'll Westminster-HAI are so tiff advanced that they In 3y be completed within that time ; also that the Royal robes, and those of the Nobility and others Mho are to take part in this magnifier -tit scene are 0/gamed; h u t w ith a ll t h ese advantages. we hod tithe other difficulties so great as to justify the op- Prehension that the ceremony will be deferred until I:ext year. His MAJESTY, we understand, also con iiiies to entertain an attention to visit the Continent 't the end of the summer. Hanover and Vieuun • r e the two principal points in his intended tour.

The story is sufficiently interesting for the pur pose to whirls it was devoted (the introduction of • recitative opera quite in the Italian Manner), and the whole may be considered as a fortunate experiment on the public taste. The music is an agreeable and well diversified melange, from MOZART, Rossini, and other consineutal. cow posers, with some additions by Meseta. 1311.411 AM and HORN. The recitative parts appear to he filled up chiefly from MOZART—the lyrical com positions abound with quotations from ROSSINI. The °suture, from Vooet., is a plaintive and fanciful work, agreeing in character with the graceful melancholy of the Roman elegiac poets. The better part of Mr. BRARasi's songs in the piece were of a very attenuated and naked cha 7 racier, and by tio meaus could be usede•to sort with the voluptuous science with which the borrowed compositions streamed along. What they wanted, however, of inventive intricacy and brilliant accompaniment, was made up by his meaner of giving them. The sway which he exerted over simple tones and chords was like that of their arch-spirit having power to awaken all their hidden and pleasurable sympathies, by merely willing it. He was loudly encored in • war song towards the conclusion; and in a mesa of considera ble length, which lay between him and Mr. Hoax. The interest and admiration were es great as ever were manifested by the most dnating audience of all Italian house. Why not ? It is mere cant to keep up the old cry of lack of ears, taste, and inclination, in Esiglish auditors. Objects of imagination, represented under the adjust-. ment of fine taste, must always be gratifyintin civilized communities; and when the English musical stage approaches the habitual sublimity of the best of the Italian, there will be no want either of admirers or judges. The power of music is Proclaimed by proverbial hyperbole. Sorely it will not be less when purified by science, and nothing is to be met with but the finest poetry, floating in the most exquisite modes of sound. Miss Wm sort is once more at home in Three, which could be scarcely amid of her since she , took temporary leave of Nandane. Her studies, sided by her im posing figure; lose. thrown her upon the elevation. of romance, and there she must abide. She is a smart image of glorious womaehood belonging to the early claisical generations—when (as Madame de START. has it) the correspondence of mental and cor poreal vigour must have been more frequent and intimate then in our days of intellectual strength and physical degeneracy. lii her singing she wet, as usual, little successful with the tender passions. Het love, whether connubial or maternal, has a cold exterior. But in her grief, her anger, and her madness, her style is that of lightning upon the cliffs, or the fall of headlong cataracts. She gave P Le os " German Hymen." set to a stanza of suppli cation, on her way to the sacrifice, with very solemn and interesting effect ; and in the mad piece of the concluding fiaale, she barely escaped the tedious hardship of an encore from the humanity of the more feeling auditors. Madame VIESTRIS was highly successful with her music ; she was encored in' a song very much after the manner of "lit la. fumy," in Artaxerxes. Her brio as well as most trying performance, was the bramble! sir, " Theta Sorridere," from La Gazers Ladra. MISS POVET acquitted herself well. Mr. HORN filled up the interest of the scene, but his performance geuerally fails to realize the expectations his figure, voice, and manner provoke. The piece was well received throughout, and was marked by the best chewier of applause, that of silent and interested attention to the passages. We would fain have as much good to ray of the lan guage as of the music and 'performance. The re citative poetry is, all things considered, blameless ; but-from such sang-writing, defend us, Phoebus ! Good verses, and such es are fit to be sung also, are not things of easy execution—and, therefore, with. out attempting to question the supremacy of old Drury's literary censorship (rising occasionally up to the presumption of a dictator), we never look to her hoesehold bards for any thing beyond MaTAterAsro or TUOMAI Mom.

Mr. Speirkman (or Speightinao), the applirant in this oast, is a tailor of Oxford, and s lossricoleted Member of the University. A gentlemen named Case, Master of Arts, of Brimennuse College, had left the Univereitriu Mr. Speskinau's debt, for clothes, and wrist to reside at Liverpool. Re peened applications were made to him Air the mo ney, but without effect, when Mr. Speakman sued out a wait in the Cuurt of King's Bench, end held him to bait, and its the result the money was paid. to consequeuce of this procerdiug Mr. Speakman Was cited, as a matriculated tradesman of Oxford, to appear in the Vice-Clime:effete' Con.t for his contumacy in suing • member of cutiviicution is * 'court of-common law, in violation of the sta tutes and by-laws of the University. A day was vireo for his appearance, but having neglected to attend, the Vice-Chancellor pronounced sentence of. excommonage against him, which setitetwe - wise promulgated through the University—the efreet of which ems to forbid any member thereof from holding any comtuunicatical or dealings with him. under the penalty of being called upon to answer for such conduct. This was attended with injuri ous consequences to Mr. Speakman', trade, and this rule was applied for to suspend the further execu, non of .the judgment, and restore the applicant to his original state. The SoLiceroa-Gznite.L and Mr. Serjesot BOIANQULT were now heard against the role, and urged two points—first, that a writ of prolubitiuu. or u stet proceuas, necessarily implied the conti nuance of souse suit ; but that in this case all. pro cess was complete, and the judgment having been pronounced, there remained no proceedings ti be pruluibited. The application was made too late. and there now remained tin mode of proceeding open to the applicant (and this wits the second ground of objection) but to appeal rein the sen tence of the Vice-Chancellor of the University to the King's Majesty in his Court of Chancery. The Court of King's Beech, no doubt, had a general power of couirul aver Courts of inferior jutiedics non, but it was not a Court of appeal in wincli the sentence of the sentences of the Courts of the University could be reviewed or rescinded. Mr.BIOUGHAM, tooted, argued. that as corn. isienuciatiou was in its nature mutual, the sentence against his client was no less a sentence against all the matriculated members of the University. It dictated to them with whom they should and should not hold intercourse nr transact business, and so far Imin/tied • disability upon all the members, but its effects were felt most injuriously by the object of the sentence. The Learned -Gentlemen read the atatute of the University relating to this subject, which was couched its language conformable to the pretensions of the Vatican, and in the spirit of aucient Popery. It threatened as against all contemners of its posers frames disconinissaicationis ribrare, lie contended that it was competent, that it was per fectly competent to Mr. Speakrotta to sue the debtor in a Court of Law, and that the Vice-Chancellor af. the University was not authorised to punish bins for such a proceeding. But supposing this were not so, it had not been *hewn by the Vice- Chancellor's sentence .of 'scow/titivation, that he had conusauce of the matter fur which Mr. Speakman had been excommonated.,— As to the objection that the proceeding in the Court below was completely at an end, and there fore that a prohibition would be of no we, that wus sot so, because the sentence was in the nature of a continuing and perpetual sentence, which might yet be set aside; and supposing there was a Court of Appeal, still this Court, as the highest Court in the kingdom, might, by its superintend ing authority, annul proceedings which were in violation of law, and even of the statutes upon which the University professed to act. Mr. DENMAN .acid, he should itot occupy their Lordships' time by arguing whetter the sentence was one of continuance, and might not, therefore, beinterrupted, but the point which he should press -epos their attention was, that the sentence was had cora" non judice ; that the Court of the Vice- Chancellor of the University was not. Competent to pronouuce it ; and that being in itself . nullity, it become the duty of the Court of King's Bench to interpose, and prevent the subject from sustaining an injury from the act often incompetent jurisdiction. The right of instituting actions io the King's Courts of Law, was one of the deaieat and must sacred rights of the subject, and no individual could be divested of that right. save by the paramount authority of the Legislisture. No charter of the King, and much less no by-law of a Corporation, could deprive the subject of this right, and conse quently its individual could be punished for pur suing it by any authority not eteissiating from the legislative power. Thematute of the Utiiversity on which • the -power of the Vice-Chancellor's Court reposed, was one .passed in the reign of Charles 11. but it was evident that such a statute could net have power. to oust the King's Courts of Westium ster of their jurisdiction, tulles it was coofitrned by au Act of Parliament.
