DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Mien EDMISTON, the young Lady, pupil of Mr. FOOTE, of this theatre, whose debut in the character of Jane Shore the other night made. favourable an impression on the public mind, re• pealed her performance !sat night in a style which justly secured her the warmest approbation of the audience, and proved the correctness of the ob.. nervations which we made on her first essay. Her action is graceful, dignified, and impressive, and her by-play in admirable keeping with the character and situations, and with the rest of her performance. There is occasionally a defi ciency of strength in smile tones of her voice, which a short experience will teach her to correct. Giovanni in London was the afierpiece, and in the thud scene Mr. HARLEY stept forward to claim the indulgence of the audience for Madame VES. TM!, who, he said, though labouring , under severe indisposition from violent cold and hoarseness, had determined to play her pint to prevent the incon venience of any alteration in the cast as announced. The customary expression of sympathy and appro. liation was made on the return of that lady to the scene, and the piece proceeded, though greatly shorn of its attractions.by the langour which the ill health of its most animated support shed over the whole performance. 'His MAJESTY'S state coach is at this time receiv ing several additional and tasteful ornaments, exe cuted in • masterly style, amongst which the col lars, start, &c, of the different orders of Knight hood, bordering the principal panuels of the car riage, are truly superb. A paragraph in our Paper of yesterday states, that at the late Chichester Agricultural 31ceting Mr. RUSILISSON recommended patience as a cure fur the farmer's ills. Patience is with the Doctors the grand panacea for all incurable complaints. Some oew honours have just been conferred at the Court of St. Petersbargh on Sir ROBERT KYR PORTER, in consequence of the high reputation in which his work on the Past and Present Slate of the Persian Empire, lately published in England and Germany, is held by the Emperor ALEXANDER. ABBAS MIRZA, Grand Prince of Persia, also honoured the British traveller with several marks of distinction ; but one, the most gratifying to the feelings of a benevolent man, was his Royal High. riess's voluntary promise of his particular protec tion to some orphan children of European parents horn in his country, and left there from uncon trollable event., in circumstances of peculiarly pain. fill interest. TRAVELLING EXTRAORDINARY !--In cringe quence of opposition among the coach proprietors of Easter, the fares from hence to Exeter and London have been this week reduced to a few shil lings ; but to-morrow the Safety coach leaves WEARLER's Hotel at seven o'clock in the morning, at soy or no fare, just as the passengers chorue ! Breakfast will be provided at %YEARLEY'S in the morning ; lunch at Goss's, Seven Stare, Totnes, in the forenoon ; and dinner and wine at CONGDON'S Hotel, Exeter. on the arrival of the coach—without oat charge! ! !—( Plymouth Paper.) A Correspondent of the Dundee Advertiser states, " It is said that a certain clothier in Dunkeld has received orders to provide three hundred suits of tartan, with bonnets and hose complete, for the pur pose of clothing a body of sturdy Highlander... as .. guard for his Most Gracious Majesty King OlttoßDE IV. when he snits that most independent Nobleman, JOHN Duke of Athol. As the Lady who related this, to my knowledge, has considera ble intercourse with Ounkeld, I have every ITUS49II to believe this information corrt:ct." An eccentric Irishman, whose name was JAMES WHITELY, and who was well known in &aglowd as an itinerant Manager, meiotic night playing Mac beth, and An wing mode his exit at the stage door to commit the murder upoi. Duncan, he demanded of the property-man where the colouring was, with which to give the appearance of leing bloody to the daggers and Lis hands. The property.man, well knowing the consequence, trembled as he informed him he Mei liogotieis it. " Hove you, my deur ?" said WitiTELE—and with his clinched fiat he struck the arms a violent blow upon the nose, which pro duced a copious fluid of blood ; with the precious liquid he quickly coloured his hands and the dag gers. and telling the unfortuoste fellow to be more careful again, be presented himself to the au dience. Hyde Park was on Sunday fashionably attended, in consequence of the unusual fine weather.

Some exception may be ' taken perhaps to the disposition of the locks in the new figures, which are toulued arbitrarily behind the can in both figures. In this there is something too much of man nerism for an Artist *flinch boldness of design ; it suits not ,be intellectual liberty which Mr. Wvarir bag exercised iu his choice of models. There is, to be sure, one illustrious pre- Skient to be pleaded In Canotra's Venue, where the hair is liMidaged with almost Quaker primness : but in neither eme is the poetic sublime consulted, the only sure guide, after all, for works of this kind, which are to identify the undefined images of the finest imagination. Every thing is, however, made up in the execution of the figures. They are of a distinct order of modelling, bay ing a mixture of nationality and spirituality highly in teresting. The draperies are wrought almost to transpa rency, so as to agree with the economy of their imputed being, and mushily solid figures never had more aerial lightness. It seems that the other parts of the monument are in a state of gnat forwardness, and the whole will soon be ready for public inspeetine. Mr. WYATT will then gain accession to the need of praise and public support due to hls great acquirements, his fine taste, his sedulous studies and labours, and his honourable zeal in applying them in politer every way conducive to the honour of his country. The respect and admiration of a circle of professors and friends will be well exchanged for the higher gratification of iMpariing instruction and delight to the general concourse 4spectators. The site upon which the monument is to be founded, whether in a chapel of St. Paul's, or in a separate mausoleum, is not yet determined. 1.41 W IN7SI( 4 4O , IINCE. op I. --.71111.r- ' 1 slifilaiheikia6NClßT, '1•1118.7,11 1119 :.• OS IOW! t .11.1104Teamallellet 17- ~ J o in , • ii.L , J , •,4 -,, ; :•••• ,1 • ..T.11191.,'. 1., A. • . „1,,,..g AAR.

Mr. MURR/SY has purchased the •MS. for two thousand guinea*. The Duke of WatAturredu arrived unexpect edly on Saturday afternoon, at three o'clock, at Apolev nouse, from Strattleldsay. The Mar quis WELLUILIT, accompanied by two Gentlemen, left town soon after, in his carriage and four, for Ireland, where be is expected to arrive on Tuesday morning. We learn that the executors of the late Duke of BUCCLRUCH and QUEENSBERRY have reduced the rents of the farms in the neighbourhood of Dal keith, for the year 180, 0 per cent. The Parliamentary Commission which lately sat in Dublin, we understand, means to recommend that the Union shall be carried ioto complete effect by the removal of the commercial restrictions between the tao countries now iu force, and equalizing the duties. We also understand that it considers the present machinery oft he public offices in Ireland on a scale much too large, and disproportioned to the revenue, and means to recommend • great reduc tion iu the number of clerks, the amount of salaries, and other means of economy and retrenchment. Such is the unexampled mildness of the season, that primroses and violets in full bloom are now called about the streets of London. At a numerous and respectable meeting of Agri culturists, held at Warwick, on Monday last, it was agreed that a Petition, signed by all who wi s h t o 'auction the measure, should be presented to Par liament in the ensuing Session, praying that pro tecting ditties may be laid upon all productions of the soil imported into this kingdom from foreign co 'niftier.

RANDALL AND MARTIN.—The friends of Martin have agreed to Ranciall'a propotntion, to fight Ran dall fur 300/. aside. a n d bet 1,0001. even. The advantages of a visit to CARROLL'S Offices, Ni'. 19, Corohill, and 26, Oxford -street, were suffi ciently exemplified in the present Lottery on the Second Day of Drawing, when No. 11.486, a Money Prise of 30,00 iii. Sterling, was Sold by him in Shares. It is to he hoped that this great success will be followed op by an other 30,0001. on the 20th inst. when the Lottery will finally close. During part of last week the parish of Whltechapel was agitated by a most furious contest for the situation of Sexton. Utica the candidates was, it arrears, the parish tax gatherer and had, in the course' of his canvass, held out such pro mises, and *mostly exercised his besievoleoce to such an ex tent amongst them, that his success was for aurae time run. sidered as beyond the probability of being questioned. We understasd, however, that the butchers of Whitechapel, who have never relished: the character of a tax-gatherer, threw their weight into the stale against him, and brought the poll on the day before the last to a state which caused great agitation •mosigit the tax-gatherer's friend.. The other candidate, who had the strong recomeneodation of a large family and limited swarm, was of course the favourite of the majority. The contest was actually etindacierl throughout with as much spirit as is usually seen at election erigagemeats of the moat alarmists* kind. Coaches full of voters Wm driving from all directions up to the church, band hills pat is circulation, and speeches made, Matfett the qualilleationt of the candidates, and calling upon the in habitants to come- forward mid prove their todepewance.

The LeetteSCN anent Lox oheerveef, , lloMahis esee canle'before him owe motion on the part ofthe De fertfaitit, 'that he might be at liberty to file a sup plemental answer to contradict an assertion in his original answer. where he denied having •seen the herediterneets and premises named in the Plaintiff's bill'hefitire he agreed to. purchase them that he since recollected he went to see the premises with Mr. Slade; that they saw a person there who in formed them lhat he emit(' not allow them to ex aminethe mherfiwithout an order foe that-purpose fetitts the Plaintiff, hut that they might look at the g'resiary and the warehouse; and that he, the De fterlaut. and Mr. Slade were not more than half an hour on the premises. This was the explatiation which the Defendant wished to give in a supple mental answer: The bill set forth that the Plain tiff agreed to sell to the Defendant a freehold suf. femme wharf, with all the granaries. buildings, &c. ow it 4 in the parish of Rutherbithe, for 65,0001 30,000!. of the purchase money to he secured by a. mortgage on the premises, 20,000/. to he secured de• the bond of the Defendant, joined with .a friend, payable with interest on the death of the Defendant's father, Thomas Fox, and that the Defendant was to inoure his life against that of hie father, and the remainder 15,000/. to be se cured by the bond of the Defendant, payable at the death of his father, also to be secured on his life interest in remainder to the estates in Yorkshire. The Plaintiff in hie bill stated, that he was always ready to perform his part of the agreement ; but when be applied to the Defendant to complete his part. he refused; the Plaintiff. therefore, prayed for a specific performance of the agreement. The Defendant. in his answer, which was put in in the mouth of September. 1831, admitted that be was entitled to a life interest in remainder to the estates in Yorkshire, and a tent charge on estates in Eng hold of 9,000/. at the time he entered into the agreement with the Plaintiff, hut the latter was encumbered by annuities. That in Attgust, 1820, the Defendant was in cant of a sum of money, and he advised with a person of the name of Slade about rsisipg it, and he recommended him to pur chase real estates, and give post obit bonds for them on the death of his father, and when he gut iutn pamesision of them to sell or mortgage them for 'dead, money ; and that Slade introduced him to the Plaintiff, and he agreed to become the purchaser of the premises as stated io the bill; that he never saw the premises before the agreement, nor were they ever surveyed or valued on hie behalf. It might be use ful for him (the Lord Chancellor) to observe here, that the Defendant, by what lie wished to correct by his supplementary answer, was only as to his having seen the premises, which, by his original answer, he had denied; but it did not go to explain whether they had ever been surveyed on his Fart. It appeared also from the original answer that Mr. Slade was to receive a commission for his agency. and that the Defendant, at the time of entering into the agreement, was 27 years of age. The answer went further to state. that the consideration agreed io be given by the Defendant for the pre mises was oboe, their value, soil that the Plaintiff had sold them in the year 1818 to another person, for 32,000/. The Defendant, therefore, refused to complete the agreement because it was an unfair one, as advantage had been taken of his pecuniary embarrassments at the time, for which reasons he ought not to be compelled to a specific performance of the agreement ; but if the Court was of • different opinion, he contended the Plaintiff could not make out a good title to the estate. The affidavit of the Defendant in support of this application stated that he was under pecuniary difficulties when he entered lute the agreement with the Plaintiff, and was obliged to raise money by any means; he was accosted by Slade in the street, and informed by him of the Plaintiff wanting to dispose of the estate. In December, 1820, he signed an agree ment for the putchsse for the mere purpose of raising money—his father died in April 1821, end from the time of his signing it until he put in his answer, he had not been in London fur • greater length of time than three weeks ; when he put in 'his sewer, the conviction on les mind was that he had not seen the premises and liereditamente, and that arose from his not having seen other premises that he *greed to purchase from a person of the name of Creeck, stud until he received the letter of Slade, he was perfectly ignorant that lie had teen the premises of the Plaintiff. This letter, in the opinion of Isis Lordship, was of great importance fur which reason lie would reed it. " Kirkham*, Hotel, Lower Brook-street, November 8, 1821. " My Dear Sir—l have this morning received a letter from Mr. Burt, enclosing the copy of your mower to his bill, which Wag on oath, has given me the greatest uaessi mess on your account. I think it is so important to your merest and character, that I have enclosed a copy of Mr. Bart's letter, and shall wait your answer before 1 reply to It. There are two circumstances to which I wish most par. sieulariy to call your attention. You must recollect going with me iS your own boat to the wharf to inspect the pre. misty, and afterwards making a second appointment to meet Mr. Bert there; but you went to the kiss's levee, and 1 wept, by your directive, to meet Mr. Burt, and reported the condition of the premises. The people at the wharf saw you, mid you bad a conversation with the foreman about the wharf, who will be brought forward to prove this fact. You base put yourself in a situation to be iudicted fur per. joie: I esteem but consider your conduct to me as most ea. generous, ati you attack the whole blame to 11/C, being well aware that I had so other motive than your best interest, sod to forward your borrowing money to great adraatage. I caw only *ay this is the best sr.usaetion of my life that bare been accused of fraudond I shall take serge pains to refute thin charge in the most public manuer. You also recollect the ether fact sworn to, that you not only coo caked your (nerd Lord Lowther, but also Mr. Arbuthnot, and applied to them respeetiog the bonding of deals, as your several letters will prove. It is to be lamented diet l was sot consulted and the answer shown tome before it was swore to, as you have given Mr. Burt a decided ad vantage over you. My advice is 0.,w, as it has always bee% thin it is better to fol6l your contract *a as honourable can than be compelled after an appeal to the Court of Chancery. • If Mo, Bud outset make good his stile, be comma make you complete yule purchase.

The'PlaintifT had a meeti'.g • with the Defendant and Slede, and he sent an als. street of his title to the Defendant. He afterwardi received a letter from *him from Yorkshire, that even the interest• of Lord Lowther. could not get him the license for bonding the deals on the wharf; and afterwards a second letter from him, requesting that he would send him a copy of his marriage settlement, as lie wanted .it for a particula? purpose, after which lie would return it; the Plaintiff accordingly sent it to him, and al though it had beeii applied for it never was re turned by the Defendant. Ile (tins Lordship) had nothing to do fur the purpose of the present appli cation with the merits of the caw, es to shelter the Court would hereafter decree a specific performance of the contract or not, as the mere question before .hitti was, whether the Defendant was entitled to pp; ;Oa supplementel answer to correct his swear hag that he had not seen the premises. Suppose it bad been an li:linty of smother nature in a Court ' below, and what the Defendant had last sworn was true, could a Judge tell a Jury he had seen the premises in the way that a prima about to pur chase ought to see them ? Suppose he (his Lord , ship) was about buying a house iu any of the squares, and he was allowed only to go into the hall and parlours of the I e, could it be said that lie had such a view of the home as a purchaser was eutideil to? It depended entirely on the discretion of the Court, whether it would allow a supplemental answer to be put in or riot, and that discretion ought to be most carefully wed. It was settled by the Court that .the correction could not be made by an amended answer. The mere putting iis of • supplemental answer would not do array with the spe.jury in the original answer, as an indictment would lay. It was of the last im portance to the civil interests amen that when they did swear, they should consider it a pledge to their God that they were speaking the truth and where they did not, they ought to be made to ad dress themselves to the important subject.
