M '7'?""rw 3tI7IRZY THEJTA E. --,._ It is pleasing to observe that this amus i ng little theatre continues to uphold its well-founded claims on the patronage of the public. Last night the attendance was extremely full, to witness the first representation here of a melo-drainatic romance, celled Marlette, or The Maid of Steititerload, hying our old and interesting acqnsititance Therese, under a new title, in which Mist S. Boom sustained the character of Men me, after a lung absence from the !metropolitan boards, during which she has per formed in succession at all the leading provincial theatres throughout the empire with the most dia. tinguished applause. She was saluicd on her en. trance with a full a nd marked expression o f th at cor dial warmth of greeting with which a. London audi. ence contently welennes the return of. long absent, but aell.rsusembered and highly-deserries favour ite, and the evident impression which the flattering tribute produced an her feelings was highly credita ble to her sensibility. Her figure has lost some. thing of its fates', but her countenance re tain all its wonted sweetness and power of express. sion. That sound diaaretion, too, which has ever enabled her to form a just conception of the characs tees she asoubied ; that dramatic skill which has enabled her to realise what she had correctis insa gined; and shot good taste which taught her so to combine embellishment and grace with truth sod expression, and elegance of demeanour with im pressive action, as to satisfy the judgments. while she fascinated the seuses and moved the heart ;—these remain in all their former vigour, and vindicate her claim to a degree of eminence and considers. bon in her professton. which but a chosen few can hope to obtain. Thus highly gifted, it was im. possible that Miss S. 1100TH'Il Marlette should be oilier than a most finished and efficient perform ance. The struggle of coutending emotions, stilled at length by overpowering terror in her . with Carsein. in the first act; the agony of deli rium in which she rushes from the burning chamber of her murdered benefactress ; the touching and impassioned eloquence of her appeal to her lover, her guardian, mud the surrounding spectators on her arrest by the magistrate fur the murder of the Countess, were wrought up to a degree of finished excelleuce, equalled only by that of the original re presentative of Therese, the first actress on the British stage.—A geutlemaii, whose name was tint announced, made his first appearance at this thea tre in the part of earwig, in which he displayed considerable ability. His voice is rather harsh and untenable, but allowing for the difficulties attendant upon the novelty of his situation, he (Damaged it with tolerable skill. His figure is good, his counteuance not without expres. sum, and his evident familiarity with the business of the stage canton but render him • useful ocrpti. anion to the ersablishmeut of this theatre. The reuse . • g characters of the piece were exceedingly well filled. Mr. Beanovon was grave, dignified, and impressive, as because the Pastor; Mr. Go. wear was duly ardent and animated is Checks, the lover of Marlette; and Mr. Humana infus-d a just podises Itylowite into the part of The Farmer. The entertainments of the night concluded with the Ilurletta of The Veterans, in which Mere DIGHTON. the young lady pupil of Mr. LANZA. who made her first appearance last week• as Emily, her reserve and timidity beginning gradually to wear off, gave a strengthened hope of realizing the promise of her first appearance a■ increasing C 0... tidence enables her fully to develops her evidently extensive capabilities. Her delivery of the dialogue is marked with ■ propriety of accent, and a correctness of modulation, that denote intelli gence and polish or wind. She laboured, how. ever, under a severe cold and hoarseness, which rendered an appeal to the indulgence of the au dience necessary in favour of her omission of her song, a parody on " If o'er the cruel tyrant Lure." Mr. - FOSTSR, the gentleman who at the same time made has first appearance in the same piece, as Henry, has acquired a greater degree of pelf-possession, and sings with more precision and firmness of tone. He will prove a useful singer iu the simple ballad style; but his voice, though sweet and pleasing, wants compass, flexibility, and power, for the execution of more elaborate compositions. . .

OCTOBER 23.—The Royal Cla. recce Theatre was opened lor the season on Mon day lase, under the joint management of Messrs.

ANECDOTE.—The present King of FRANCS, hearing a few days ago lhart the Archbishop of Paris was at the point of death, exclaimed, " II nest que moo anon! courier." When the cele brated E•rrl of CHESTERFIELD one morning, nut long before his death, was going to take an airing io his coach and four, he said to the late Mr. JERNINOHAM, whom lie iuvited to join him at dinner, " this parade, my frieud, is only the rehearsal of my fat rseral." CHARLES, the haughty Duke of SOMERSET, sent for SEYMOUR, the painter, to Petworth, to paint a room with portraits of his running horse*, and at d . r drank to him with a sneer, " orsin Scrleoua, your health."—" My Lord," replied the painter, " 1 do really believe I have the honour of belonging to your Grace's family." The Duke. Offrilded at this freedom, ordered his steward to pay Saywoust and dismiss him. Another painter was sent for, and findiug himself unequal to finish SEYMOU a's pictures, houestly acknowledged it, and recommended the Duke to recal SEYMOUR. The haughty Peer condescended to summon his cousin Alice more, when SEYMOUR wrote, "My Lord Duke, I will now prove that 1 sin of your Gracie's family—/ will net come." An entirely new and curious bridle. it is mid. will shortly be introduced in the cavalry. The most splendid ornament of the above descrip tion ever yet seen will be sported by the first re~riment of Life Gnus& ; also a gorget and breast- Wee. composed of stars, with a gold bullion rein.

Mr. Pot.LoCK stated that this wait voyage trom Cork to St. Vincent's ; the sured were 28 mules, 10 losses. and 10 the policy contained a clause *strewn% writers from " mortality and jettisou." sailed from Cork on the 19th Janoory, had scarcely quitted the port when it encou , violent storm, which lasted till the 30th the end of which time the ship got into St. Mount, Cornwall, where she ►efitted; mules, oxen, and asses, were killed during others were much hurt, and died whilst at Si, Michael's Mount, and one died after the ship had refitted and proceeded from St. Michael's Mount to the West Indies; so that in fact only five mules and one ass arrived safely at St. Vincent's. The qweetion for the opinion of the Court therefore was, whether the Plaintiff was entitled to recover for all the animals which were lost, or for those only that perished darling the storm ; or whether, on the other hand, the Defendants were not entitled to a verdict ender the clause of exception introduced into the policy " free from mortality." The question would furl upon the meaning of the word nro►tality. Johnson, in his Dictionary. say% mortality means death, liability to death, frequency of death; and undoubtedly the word, as used in common parlance, toreent mortality arising from ordinary causes; no one ever spoke of the mortality in a ship arising from a her of men killed in action with the enemy. If, indeed, the word had the meaning which the underwriters contended for, the policy would have been satisfied by their delivering the deed bodies of the animals at St. Vincent's. even though the ship had been wrecked, and the dead bodies had been collected on the shore. Stich being the result of that construction, he (Mr. I'ul lock) professed that he was quite at a luta what be had to answer. The COURT said, that it might be es well to hear the other side first. Mr. CAurser.r., for the Defendants, contended, that the meaning of the exception was to exempt the iusurers from those risks which arose from the vitality of the subject matter insured. His Learn ed Ene►d, Mr. Pollock, had professed to be at a loss to know if the insurers were not answerable for this loss for what they were liable. He would tell him they were liable for loss from enemies and pirates ; but he should be told that this was iu time of peace, but there were other other perils for which the in surers were liable,• viz. barratry of the maser of marines, detention by Princes, or if the ship went to the bottom and the cattle were drowned, for their the less would not arise from the vitality of the sub ject mutter insured, and so if the ship were burnt the insurers would be equally liable ; brit here, he contended, the meauing was to except the under.. writers from all risks except such as dead goods were subject to. Mr. l'ot.Loce, in reply, contended that the meshing of the word " mortofity" in this polity must betaken in its popular sense, and if so, theft the insurers would not be liable for what lie tnight call a medic.il case, but if a surgical case they would ; or, in other words, if death were induced by that natural tendency to death, to which all ani mated nature was subject, then the underwriters would not be liable ; but if the animals met their death by any violence, such as the falling of the ship's masts, then the underwriters would be liable; but a the insurers meant to guard against all the perils to which animated nature was liable, then the language whirl' they had used was illusory. In this case the ship, from the violence of the tempest, had the whale of her bulk-heads driven in, and all the cattle were mixed pell moll together, and his Learned Friend, Mr. Campbell, had acknowledged that if the animals had been killed by the enemy in battle, it would have been a question for the Jury whether the same violence would not have injured inanimate goods. So here, according to his edrnis. sioo, it might bee question whether the violence . would not have burst a cask of wine or spirits. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, he was clearly of opinion that the insurers were answerable for the loss incurred, as the animals were killed by a peril of the sea, from which the insurers were not ex empted by the clause "free from mortality," which word mu►t be taken by the Court in its ordinary sense; if that were not the meaning attached to it by the underwriters, it would be easy for them in future to protect themselves by the substitution of some other. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said, the words were in. tended for the benefit of the underwriter, mid it was therefore his duty to express himself so lareely as to meet every case he meant to except himself from. He concurred with my Lord Chief Justice in the opinion that the word " mortality" in the policy meant death by ordinary means. Mr. Justice HOLROYD and Mr. Justice But. concurred. Mr. CAMPBELL asked if the opinion of the Court extended to all the animals which had died ? The LORD CHIEF JUSTIC6-.." To ■ll the •ai- wale which were killed by the storm.

LAWBENC6 V. ABERDEEN. This was an action on a, policy of insurance tried before Mr. Justice Best at Guildhall, when the Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Court.
