THE4TRE. .1 comedy front BFAUSIONT and rctiErt, tho' original, " Tite Royal Aleschnut or Beggars' Busli"—:ttal in the revived piece, " lie ,lierchaat of Bruges, <5 e." was revived at this Theatre last ni4ht. The lover* of the Drams most, as the Address spoken on the occasion would seem t, anticioate, be stro igly disposed to favour soy iittvmpt which is directed to restore those vi gorous productions to our stage, that shine through all the impediments of a liceuti (((( s taste with the lustre of real genius. To prune the exuberances of an imagination lint seldom restrained by art, and ext gc the coarser wanderings of a fancy which the refinements of social life had 'not yet adopt ed to the cultivation of succeeding times—to omit much, and to edit little, appear to he the chief rules that should direct all undertakings of this kind. Tim-c rules, as far as we can pro nounce from the rapid giant* of a first perfJrin ance, appear to have been well attended to iii the present instance. Many scenes, particularly where Cie Beggars are the actors, were judiciously either omitted or retrenched, and the whole was brought mere within tiisee limits which modern judgment requires. But whatever may be the proprietY with which the execution was conducted, we cannot much approve of the selection of the piece. That . it annuli's many strokes of nature, of cleiracter, and of imagination, the mimes of its famous authors are sufficient to prove ; but the general texture of the performance is lieu haps of to.) low sod too whimsical a cast to recommend it to po pularity in the present day. Nothing can be more romantically extravagant than the fable in itself, and nothilig more complicated in its progress. Flurey, the real heir to the Earldom of Flanders, is excluded from his right by an usurper mimed ll'ol ford. Utisconscions of his claims, and we know not why, he applies himself to merchandise, and la-comes one of the richest merchants iii Bruges, at ' which place lie falls in love with Bertha, the sup posed daughter of Vandunk., who is a strange com pound of humour, good nature, and drunkenness. While in this state of comparative obscurity, he often relieves Clause, the King of the Beggars. In a little time he becomes embarrassed in his circunsotatices, and is relieved by the wealth of Chasse. A plot is going forward, all this while, for the discovery of the rightful heir and his father-in law, by the Usurper, hot through the dexterity of Hebert, the Usurper and his troops are brought into a predicament where they arc miller the necessity of snrrendering. It then appears that Floret/ is the real Earl, or Prince—that Clause, w lio had been disguised as King of the Beggars, is his father-in-law—sod that Bertha, whom he bad loved as the daughter of Vauthotke, is a Princess. Ile is then restored to lois rights, married to his mistress, and poetical jus tice is distributed to all the parties concerned, ac cording to their different deserts. It should not be forgotten, that Jaculin, his sister, who was also with his Father-in-law among the Beggars, is be stowed upon Hubert, as a reward for his zealous and able services. The part of Flurry, which was sup ported by Mr. KEAN with his usual talent, afford ed him some scope, though not so much as eonld be wished, in his favourite line. The distress was not deep enough, nor the passion sufficiently vehement but there was some degree of both, and where that is the case, his powers must lie conspicuous.—Vandunks, by Mr. M S, was rendered very amusing. The character is toot strictly consistent, nor perhapr easily intelligible; however, rat it afforded some occasion for the dis play of broad humour, it could not have fallen into hands better calculated to set it off to talent'. Inge. Mr. RAE, as Hubert, was very impressive ; and Mr. HOLLAND gave a just representation of Gerrard. Mrssrs. OXUERRY and HARLEY were the two leading Beggars, which they sustained with appropriate humour and vulgarity. The former, though evidently labouring under a severe cold, was in no respect deficient. lle delivered the corona tion speech, if it may be so called, to the Beggar hing, with ludicrous importance, tl,ough we think his performance in this instance would out have been Unpaired Isy a little more gravity.

LAWLIM . The Earl of Carhampton beiug in attentlance at the .ittiog of the toitrt, „. The LORD CHAWCELLOR olyv.rved, that he had, after it mature consideration, mine to a derision to this motion, which *as made Oil Satin - Aar by the Noble Lord in person, to vary the minutes of his for, mer order, which win', that it should be referred to , the Muster to inquire what sum of money was due. to the Defendant, that her own anal the Phritititra - costa should be taxed, as between SoliPitor and Client, and paid nut of t h e fund of 8.1500. 3 per Cent. Annuities, which were to he soul with the privity of the Accomptaut-General, and the residue of that awn to lie paid to Lord Carhamptrin, 00 his indemeifying Miss Lowlyy against the claim of Thomas dories, and for the Master to settle what the indemnity should lie. The present motion ought to have aimed to have made the minutes coieformable to the order, in-tend of which it went to change its entire nature, and for which reason it could not be upheld. If it had been made by bird Carhampton's Counsel (Mr. Leach) he would not hare allowed him to proceed, he would have stopped lam io the first imitative. The Noble Lord thought hi. character implicated ; but he, the Lord Chancellor, did not think so; he, however, allowed him to proceed, as it appeared it would be a satisfaction to him. The bill was filed by a legatee against the executrix and residuary legatee of the late Duchess of Cumberland--the Noble Lord was certainly a creditor of her Royal Highness. The Court was in the constitutliabit of distributing funds, as they had in this case, by giving the executrix her costs and charge.; the original mo tion was made on behalf of Lord Carhampton, Inas. nig that the whole fund in Cowl, might be paid to hint; the Court, in its equity, could not grant this motion without providing for the expenses of Miss Law ley. The business was certainly differently stated on the first minims, to what it had on the preseot, by ' Lord Carhampton. Ile considered the order as one of course. Lord Carhampton thought his character injured by a publication, of which he could say no thing; he would not have mentioned the circum stance if it wigs not to say, that the doetiiiiea of the Court were often misunderstood, mid o f ten mistated, but without that was regularly brought before lain, he could not take notice of it, which had never been done, and he wished it never might. lie took it for granted Mr. Jones was employed under the authority of the Court ; if that was not the case, Lord C. had it iii his power to bring that ques tion before the Court. As to the attorneys being Solicitors of b u ilt Plaintiff and Defendant, his predecessor: had given that subject their full coil sideration, and even wished to make a rule of Court to prevent it ; hut, when they reflected what au advantage it was in family emits, - they aliandimed it. It would be too much to at him to do what they, in their wisdom, thought ostglit nut to be dour. All lie would say was, that Solicitors lil hog this double capacity hail a very delicate duty to perform; but if Lord Carhampten thought they had acted improperly, lie was at liberty to apply to the Court. Lord Curliamptun—" There was such an appli cation wade." SIP' SAMUEL. Routt.t.v--" There W:1:4, but your Lordship dismissed it, :is there was uo foundation fur it." The LORD CHANCELLOR then observed, it WPM imprequble to vary the minutes, us it would destroy the order of the Court. He was therefore obliged to dismiss the motion of the Noble Lord, with costs. Sir Samt;rt. Romittiv—" I should not have thought it ore, essary to address your Lordship on account of what the Noble Lord stated here re specting the alleged improper conduct of those gentlemen the Solicitors. for here they are known as honourable practitioners of the Court; but what lie did think proper to assert has gone out to the public. Perhaps your Lordship might think it necessary to saty something on the subject." The Lout) CHANCELLOR-6' There is not the least grollial car a censure on their condoet." Lord Carlianipton—'• I beg to reply to what has fallen from Sir Samuel Romilly. I did express myself dissatisfied with the conduct of those Solici tors. Sir Samuel did ou Saturday confess, that he had been misinformed by them : he said he be beved the Duchess of Cumberland was possessed •of 33,000/. at the death of her husband, the Duke of Cumberland ; and that he believed it, because I said so; but that won't do. I hold in my hand a paper which was the brief of Mr. Law, now Lord Elleubomugh„ which he held in the action to re cover the half.year'a annuity due at the death of his Royal Highness, from which it can he seen that that fact was proved on the trial ; this brief I left in the possession of those Solicitors, and they must have had knowledge of the fact, but they suppressed that information from their Counsel." Sir SAmur.t. Itn3tlLLY—" I must repeat I be lieve it, because the Noble Lord said so, and fur no other reason. I cannot see how it could be proved, as the action was only to recover one half vear's annuity, 400/. ; and there could not have heel' sash• occasion to prove she %VAS possessed of so groat a Sinn as 3:2,0004; but, allowing there was au 'Tror or mistatement as to this particular fact, how can Lord Carliumpton he injured by it ? be was not a party to that action, ❑or had he oily in terest in it, as he purchased the annuity subsequent to it." The LORD CHANCELLOR—" I am afraid I have allowed this conversation to g o to a Kremer le, th than I ought. If Lord Carhampton believes there are more assets than are iu Court, and can prove it, his C sel (Mr. Leach) will, in a moment, inform him bow to act.

RIM This was an action to recover 500 f. being the penalty of a howl entered into by the Defendant ler the following circumstances:—The Defen dant is proprietor of two public-houses called the Star and Garter, soul the King's Arms, in Shore- . ditch. The former is what is termed a wine -vault, or gin-shop, iu which spirits are mostly sold, and the latter was a public-house, the business of which was principally confined to the sale of porter, ale, and mixed liquors. The Plaintiff entered into an arrangement for the purchase of the Star and Gar ter wine-vaults, and agreed to give 1,000/. for the good-will, upon condition that the Defendant would cuter into a bowl to return .500/. of the 1.000/. if, during nine years, he converted the King's Head public-house, which was within door or two of the Star and Garter, into a wine vault. The Der/ett:it acceded to these ternis, executed the bond in September, 1813, and re ceived th/t money. In the ermine of a short time, however, after this contract, in defiance of the bond the apkarunee of the King's fiend was com pletely altered, and opened in what is universally known as a gin-shop, thereby materially injuring the trade for whiCh the Plaintiff had paid so hand s/ iniely. Those alterations were made by tenants to whom the Defendant disposed of the house, but as it was his duty to have guarded against such a breach of his contract, he of course became liable for the penalty of his bond. Verdict for the Plaintiff—Damages, 5001. Costs, 40s. ALDRED V. HOEYWELL. This was a qui tam action, to recover the penalty of 501. from th,! Defendant, who is the twister of a collier named the Brampton, for neglecting to notify to the Coal Office his arrival ott Blackwall, within twenty—four hours after that event, as the Art requires. The Illaintiff failed, however, in the legal proofs of the Defendant's connection with the vessel in question, and he was non-suited. WATSON V. KING. Thi• was an action brought by William IVatson, and Anne, his wife, as administratrix of the estate of Thomas Maxwell, to recover from the Defend ant the value of a ship, called the Little William, which had come to his possession after the death of the testator. The foets of the case were these : Thomas Max well was a three-fourths owner of the vessel in question, and in the year 1813 sailed fur Bermuda, as master of a vessel called the Effort, in which be had also an eighth share. From Bermuda he went to Jamaica for freight, and sailed from thence on the Ist of March, under convoy of the Vdianf, 74, with a large fleet of merchantmen. On the 9th of the same month there was u dreadful storm, in which the fleet was almost totally dispersed, and several vessels were known to be totally lost. On the sante night the Isjiirt parted company in a thick fi,g, and had never since been heard of. After waiting a reasonable time in the fallacious hope of her ieturu, the wife of the Plaintiff obtained let ters of administration of Maxwell's effects, and among other property claimed the share of the de ceased in the ship in question. Upon inquiry, However, she found the testator's shares in it had been gold to the Defendant, of whom she instructed he• Solicitor formally to demand their restitution. This the Defendant thought proper to resist, and hence the present action. Upon the part of the Defendant, it was proved that Maxivell indebted to a gentleman named Ward, in the sum o: . 700/. for his share in the by/art, and on his departure from England, left a power of attorney with Wad, impowering him to dispose of his shares in the Little William—and in compliance with the terms of this power, Mr. Ward soidthese shares on the POI of June, 1814, to the Defendant. It further appeared, that of the West India fleet thsperied in the month of March, one of the vessels, Millie,' the Hamilton, did not arrive till the month of August, 1 frotn hence it was inferred that the pn.bability was. Maxwell had outlived the *torn) in March, and was alive on the Sth of June, when the sale took place. In reply it WWI contended, that it was manifest he had perished with others during the on the night in question, trnd as diet was the case his power of attorney Was of' no avail. Lord ELLENJIOROUGH said, the main question for the decision' Of a Jury was, as to whether they 3Taxwell writ alive on the Ad: of Julie, or . . licit. iltury ttiou K in prolsabli , lie v. As hey would find a verdict for the Defendant. but if they believed he perished in the storm Which hid berg described, they would lind for the The Jury, after a. short consideration, fotind a verdict for the Plaintiff.
