'f he house was completely filled in every part ; before the rising of the • ennuis a seat in the pit was not to be had, - awl every box was filled with company. When Madame Pasta appeared .be Was parted with loud and long-cantinued applause, and we hem beard her perform with more effect. In the 'scene " Mura Infelici' she was eminently successful; het - est* was, as formerly, chaste and appropriate, but her • tinging was more orqatnented than last season. In her • concluding song, " DeR calms oh ceil,','sbe received a una nimous encore. This piece she give with much pathos. Garcia sustained the clitracter of ("fella; he as usual dis • played a great rethindapcy of ornament, and at times con .siderable -wrhernence of action ; however, the powerful tones and tl)e great effect he produced by them, accorded \Well with the passion he had to represent. The song "Ah •si; per voi gia sent*" was given in his best style, and was a opery•eleret performance. However, we cannot omit to notice the trio in the second act, which was admirably given by • Madame Pasta, Garcia, and Bcgrez. After the conclusion •of the opera, which went off remarkably well, in conse quence of continued cries of " l'asta,' Madame Pasta " wait led in front of the curtain by Signor Garcia, to receive .the applause of the audience. ,She curtsied rep..stedly and 'then retired. We think this custom of calling for a favourite performer at the con :lusion of the piece is rather a foolish one, as it often happens (as in the present in stance) that the character represented by that performer that been killed in the last scene, and when Madame Pasta mute (award, in obedience to the call, her face exhibited an ashy paleness, and her hair was streaming about 'bar shoulders : this, for a Desdemona, in the concluding scent of (Hello, is quite correct but to call on s lady in this guise to appear and receive compliments, how -ever well earned, is somewhat absurtl. ,The opera was fol lowed by the ballet of I.e Page Inconstant, for the first time this season. This ballet, as our readers are aware, is founded on the story of Le Nozze di Figaro. It was cast the same as last season, with the exception of Mademoiselle Le Gros filling the part of Susanne, instead of Mademoiselle Nobler; and Mademoiselle Julie Aumer performing the Countess, instead of Mademoiselle Le Gros : Figaro, for- rattly performed by Ferdinand, was now given to Le Bland. However, this is a ballet that no artistes can make • effective. It went off very flatly, and before it was con cluded about half the audience bad let the house. NEW Titsavax.—Mr. Davis, the late manager of Astley's Royal Amphitheatre, Westminster-bridge, has purchased of Earl Grosvenor a spacious plot of ground near Hyde-park-corner, upon which he is now erecting a splendid Riding School and Circus, under the immediate superintendence of his brother, Mr. John Davis, many ielan officer of cavalry. It is intended to add a superb q a t r t i e l strian and MelowDramatic Theatre, the stage of which will extend SOO feet in the rear of the Circus. The building and establishment will be on a more ex tensive scale than any thing of the kind that has yet ap _peered. • THE CUSTOII-HovsE.—The entire front is enveloped with cautionary beams and supporters, not, we presume, so much 100111 any real damage the wall has sustained, as the apprehension atf ehat may occur in the measures now under operation. In the naorment of the long room, the interior arches of which gave way Semi time since, numerous workmen arc employed. At the north- . fellt abutment of the long room the hardy sons of Hibernia are working lustily . and fearleoly under the foundation , the foundation stores over the ir heads supported by piles not exceeding ten incises iodise/tete:, driven through a loose, watery, muddy god. Some of those pile. which have been taken out did not exceed eight feet in lexlgth. The workmen arc now removing the mud down to the gravel, and substituting for it a composition of sea beach mixed with lime reduced to powder; on this water is thrown, and thus a pee is formed of great consistency and firmness.

On Monday afternoon, about half-past five o'clock, as Mn. Brodie, the wife of P. Brodie, Esq. of 49, Lincoln's Inn fields, was, accompanied by her father, taking an airing in a gig in tha Regent's Park, which was a customary and favourite ride, the hose took frig ht and started off at full lollop. Mrs. Brodie be , male alarmed - arid leaped out of rte gig, when, falling on her heal, she was, we regret to say, killed on the spot. The horse was sloped, and the lady's father. who drove the gig, escaped unhurt. Mrs. Brodie was Immediately removed to the Horse Barracks, in the arrgent'a Park, to await the Coroner's Inquest. Yesterday morning, as the Times coach, which runs from Richmond and Putney to the Spread Eagle, Graccehureit-ttreet, was proceeding at a rapid rate over London-bridge, the off fore wheel broke close to the axletm, by which accident the coach, 'Wag its equilibrium, overturned, and came with a heavy crash to are ground, throwing the coachman and two outside passengers in ,arions directions ; being also full of inside passenr , ers, great rears were at first entertained for their safety, as a lan shout, at the mottieot the coach overturned, arose from the unfortunate inmates. So:mediate aid was given, and upon extricating the passengers it was discovered that not one had met with any injury ; one of the ham was vet) , much cut. Great praise is, hus ever, due to Turn panar, and the other officers who were en the spot, who, by their judicrousiconduct, kept the place from being blocked up, and who mug caused the passengers and baggage to he conveyed to the bridge house. A dreadful accident occurred in the neighbourhood of this city on Saturday night last. Mr. William Potts, of liar monsway Moor, was returning home from our races, when, in galloping down a hill near Coahoe pottery. his horse fell, and he was atrown from his scat, and so myth injured that he died on Illonddy night, about forty-eight hours after the accident. An. other accident, similar to the above, befel Mr. Philp Tiplady, of Plawsworth, near this city, farmer, as he was returning home from .this place the same evening. He was galloping along the road, and when pear to Plawsworth date his horse tumbled, and he was thrown with great violence on the ground.

HOUSE OF LORDS, Ttmau.sw, MAT It Counsel attended in expectation that the Chancellor would give his judgment in the Thellumn case, the Judges having delivered I their opinions on Illonday, but, after prayer, the House Freeloaded ; immediately to the Scotch a pp ea l caus e, wherein the Honourable l Mrs. Fullarton, whose maiden name was Hamilton, is appellant, and Sir Hew Dalrymple and others ave respondents. The subject matter contested is the immense estate of flelamy, settled by John Hamilton, in 1638, and repudiated by an ancestor of " , ir Hew, who was a Hamilton, but who, with his maternal estate, had taken the name of Dalrymple. Has next brother, finding himself an old man without issue, then executed a settlement, wh?reby the property was to revert to the elder brother, who had repudiated in his fa- mfr. This last settlement is contested by the appellant, but the ilespendclifs not only claim ender it, but that failing, under the lserint title of the settlement in 1688, which, they contend, the el( er brother had not the power of repudiating. Mr. MowcatETF (of the Scotch bar) was beard at length for the I - _ FENCE. LAW IN l'E LLIG. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, TCISDAY, MAT 11. COORE, ESQ. V. JUNKS. This was a anise tried At the Sittings after last Michaelmas Term before Mr. Justice Littledalc, and a Special Jury. It will be remembered by our readers, that the present Ina an action of trespass brought by Mr. Cooke, the barrister, against the defendant, for entering his preening and seizing his goods, for alleged poor's rates due ro the pariih of St. Andrew, Holborn ; and the question was, whether the chambers of Mr. Cooke, which wen situate is Stone-buildings, Inneoln's-Inn, formed part and parcel of the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn. On the part of the plaintiff it was rontended that Lincoln's-inn had a peculiar jurisdiction Intl although it might be locally with the parish of St:Andrew, yet, for the purposes of supporting its own poor, and all the other rights incident to a pariah, it was tali' parochial, and therefore not liable to be clued by the churchwardens of St. Andrew's parish. By the delen4ant it was contended, that Lincoln's Inn was not extra parochial, that there had been perambulations triennially which included Lin coln's Inn, and a book was referred to, by which it appeand the property had been conveyed by a certain deed, wherein it was de. rcribed to be situate within the pariah of St. Andrew. A verdict was found for the defendant: thus deciding that the Mau is quo was within the parish and liable to be rated. The Ayr on ?: E A.-GENERAL obtained a rile last Hilary, codi ng on the defendant to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted. AIL SCARLETT this day showed cause against the rule, and argued at considerable length in support of the verdict. Mr. 6 t• e NET was on the same side, but the Court requested the Attorney-General to reply. The ATTORNEY-GENE/IAI, then contended, in the first place, that the book which was so much relied upon at the trial was not legal evidence, and ought not •o hare been received : and, second ly, that even if it were good evideoee, it did not support the 'act in proof of which it was produced. The Learned Counsel relied upon these two points, and lett it Mr Mr. Nolan to enter into the detail of the case. Mr. NOLAN ruse to address the Court, but it was intimated that as he could not conclude his argument before the rising of the Court, be had better postpone it altogether till to-morrow. THE KING v. SWEF.T. Mr. BROUGHAM moved fur a rule calling on the defendant to show cause why an attachment should not be issued against him for having, in his character of Sheriff's Officer, extorted larger fees from one John Isaacs than by law he WAS entitled to. Ile said he made this application upon an old rule of Court, or more recent. ly upon the Lords' Act, being the 32d (ieo. 11., e. 211, see. 11, which directed that upon petition to the Court, the Court should have power to make such order in the premises as should appear to them proper. The LORD CHIT? JUSTICE said, the rule had better be, that the party should appear personally in Court, and show cause why he should not refund so much as the Court should adjudge, and pay the costs of this application ; this would be free from all ob. jection ; whereas be might say in answer to a rule for an attach. ment, that he could not answer without subjecting Munch to a cri minal information. Rule granted in the form suggested by the Court. —eats— COIIRT OF KING'S BENCH, DUBLIN, MAY G. O'GRADY V. CASEY. Mr. GEORGE BENNETT, K.C., applied to the Court this day, for a criminal information against the defendant. grounded on the affidavit of the plaintiff, which stated that Mr. Casey, who had been a College acquaintance of his, met hint in Sackyille-street, on the Ist of March, 1824, and, in passing, said, " 11'ho is the reek now ;" alluding, as the affidavit stated, to a dispute which had taken place between Mr. Walter O'Grady and Mr. Rice, the Mem ber for Limerick. The plaintiff replied, "My cousin." Mr. C. then aid, " 11'ho made the apology ?" to which Mr. O'Grady answered. " Rice." Mr. Casey said, "By God, you lie !" and went away immediately. The next day, on meeting Ir. O'Grady, he said he was only joking, and they parted friends. Further dii pates, however, took place, and a challenge ensued ; but, before the time appointed for the ineefng, the parties were arrested, and bound over to keep the peace fur a year. 11r. O'Grady hearing no. thing more on the subject, concluded that the mattes was dropped. Thirteen months elapsed, and on the 27th of April, a gentleman named Lea, who was totally unknown to Mr. O'Grady, carne to his father's house in Stephen's-green, and told him that " the year was out. and he came to demand satisfaction, as the friend of Mr. Casey." The plaintiff stated, he could not give him, an answer till the evening, pro; 'sing in the interval to communicate with his friends, and procure the assistance of a gentleman to act as his se. crud on the occasion. On the 2d of this month, Mr. O'Grady was walking with a gentleman in Stephen's-green, when the de. fendant passed, and looking in his face, said, " There is as rank a coward as ever stepped." The affidavit went on to stste that he gave the defendant no provocation, and that he believed it was his intention to provoke him to commit a breach of the peace. Conditional rule granted. POLICE. BOW-STREET. A well-dressed young man, of the name of Perry, was brought up yesterday n arming, upon a warrant granted by Sir R. Biotite to the landlord of the Cider-cellar, in Maiden-lane. The fallowing appeared to be the circumstances of the ease L'pon quitting the Cider-cellar, on Saturday night last, he said he had no money to pay his reckoning, and tendered his card and a cheque for 101. Itits., drawn in his own name, upon the house of Fuller and Co., Cornhtll, bankers, upon which he obtained five sovereigns. lie returned, however, on Sunday, and requested to have the remaining :4. Itisi, declaring his pocket had been picked of what he had previously received. The landlord not doubting the cheque was a good one, satisfied this second demand, and sent a friend for payment on the following morning (Monday). The' ' answer to this application was, that no such person kept money at' .that house, and the bearer of the cheque was subjected to muck elimination as to how he become possessed of it. In consequence of this. and in order to clear themselves (as was stated), the par ties applied for a warrant, and Mr. Perry was apprehended in Itis hell, yesterday morning, at his lodgings in the Quadrant, by Smith, one of the Row-street Patrol. In his pocket-book were found four or five sovereigns. some halo of exchange. and a hand some gold ring, which he said a friend had left at his house the preceding night. A journal or his daily occurrences was also found in his desk. Sonic of the entries were of the following na ture:—'• Lost every thing is hazard." " Went to Rouge et Noir and lost all." " Went to Of iey's. and brought lionie a flat. from whom I got two sovereigns!" The 'wog man's connections are understood to be respectable. It is said he is an officer on half-pay ; but he was introduced to the landlord of the Cider-cellar as a Collegian. Ile despatched a note to fis father, who sent a Solicitor to be present at the examination, which was public, notwithstanding great efforts were made to have it private. Mr. Hat.l.3 remanded the prisoner till Friday, to give time for the attendance of some one from the banking-house. 110 S E-ST EA L MO.—Yesterday Inm. Brooks. who was appre hended on suspicion of being a party to the stooling of two coach horses front the stables of J. Jefferson, Esq. of Canonbury, near Islington, was brought up for re-examination. The evidence in thus case, as yet, is not conclusive; but owing to the publicity given wins apprehension by the daily papers, a fresh eomplainent was brought forward in the person of Mr. Hawley, who, it appears, a few wicks back attended Smithfield market with a horse to sell, when he was accosted by the prisoner. and prevailed upon to suffer him to try its paces, stitch he did, by riding off with it. Mr. Haw. and another witness, positively swore to his identity. Remanded. HATTIIN-GARDEN. Yesterday Mr. Dennis 711alony, in great agitation and trouble of mind, made way file himself into the Justice-room. to ask fee• warrAnt for his poor wife, who had just been " murther'd to death." Dennis not being an .Iddison in the English language, made it difficult to ascertain whether the *arrant was to bring her to life. or whether it was to charge her for divers drubbings she had given him during her life. It appeared. however, to be for neither, but against Mrs. Kiihnore, who had just " kilt" Alm. Malony, and to prevent her killing. more, Dennis thought proper to interfere.— Tide tragical event was produced, it Appeared, by Mrs. Slalony, after cultivating the society of Messrs. Dodges rid Co. for nearly three hours in the morning, having gone to Mrs. Killmore, and in. cited her and another lady to have " three cuts" with her. Mrs. Hillmors conveyed her reply by ' , low on her head, which fell in consequence on the scraper, by which it was seriously lacerated. Thisselton, the officer, was directed to make inquiries as to the teal state of the use. On visiting Mrs 3lalony, " Oh, Mr. Thisselzonad," said she, " don't ask me to sp_ake at all, for I am • dead woman." On his theft visiting Mn. K. and informing; her that lie came to execute a warrant against ht:r. she conceived Iss said he had a warrant to execute her. ;she immediately darted alp stairs, got out on the roof of the house, closely pursued by Thhot‘ toe, and with the greatest agility climbed over roofs, ' hart it was a steeple chase ; at length, however, they got neck to meek, and on Thisseltoti throwing his arm round hers she re signed the contest, after affording much amusement to numerous spectators. On coining to the office, having ascertained that her pecution was not so close at hand, she became very valiant, as sisted his worship that '• if Mrs. Malony was dead, it was dead drunk ; and as to killing. she kilt herself long ago with gin."

Yesterday afternoon an inqueat was held at the Guy, Earl of Warwick, Belton-street, Long-acre, on the body of a male infant. The case excited considerable interest, inconsequence of a report being circulaPal that the deceased was the illegitimate offspring of an individual holding a prominent situation at one of the metro politan winter theatres, and the mother being an actress. Mrs. Mary Ann Allen said that she was a widow, and resided at No. 32, Great St. Andrew-stree,.Secen Dials. She was em ployed :is midwife to the parish of St. Giles. On Thursday last she was called on to attimil the mother of the deceased, who was near her aemichement, and delivered her of the deceased, which was a large fine and healthy child when born. The mother of the child was a pauper in the workhouse. On Sunday night intelli gence was sent to her of the child's death. On her arrival at the workhouse she found the child dead. In reply to questions from the Coroner, the witness said that the mother's name was Caroline Fry ; she was an actress, about 18 1 years of age. Coroner—Did she name the father of the child ? Witness—(hesitatingly)—Why, she did name a Gentleman as 1 the father. Coroner—Who is he ? She would not mention the name. At length the beadle said he was a principal performer and manager of one of the theatres. Mary Butler. another nurse. deposed that the mother expressed her grief at having overlain the child. Juryman—Did she name the father of the child ? Witoesa—Yes ; he is the head manager of Juryman—ls it Mr. Witness—l think that is the name. She said he took her to a large white house in Soho-square. Alr. Starkey, surgeon saw no marks of violeiee on the deceased, and was of opinion that It was accidentally overlain by the mother. The Jury returned a verdict to that effect. Bartlett, the Beadle. live addressed the Jury. He said that the parents of the girl reside at Ityde, in the Isle of Wight, and that her fattier was a respectable master shoemaker. She informed him, that while she was performing at Newnan she received a letter, of fering her an engagement, on which she. came to London, and met the individual who wrote to her, who conducted her to a house in Soho-square,. where they paned the night, and the result was the above child. Since that period she had been abandoned by her friends, and driven to the most abject distress ; she could never gain an interview with the individual alluded to, although she had made several applications for that purpose. She was at length obliged to take lodgings al a public-house in Wild street, Drury-lane, where ahe had been living in the greatest want, sometimes without food to eat, and unable to pay her rent ; and as the period of her deli very was fast approaching, the landlord made application to him (Bartlett) to do something for the girl. On visiting her place he found her, as described, in a deplorable state, not having had food for two days. lie applied to the parish overseers, who granted an order for her removal to the workhouse, where she received every asaistance. BARBAROUS MURDERS. The Clonmel lisrald of Friday has the following horrid account : —On last Saturday evening. an inhuman murder was committed on a man of the name of ‘Villiam Racket, at Kilmolash, about three and a half miles from this town, on the Caher road, and with in a musket shot of . the finger-post near Barn. This unfortunate man was returning from this town to Derrygrath, a farm belonging to William Rial, Esq. and of which he was in rare, in company, It is said, with a man who war lately ejected front his farm, and who owed a very large arrear of rent. It was only yesterday morn., ing the body was found, and found in a very mangled state. The neck was broken, and the forehead so beat in that the brains could be seen. It was discovered in a hole in an adjoining outfield, in which two other and similar holes were made, and in which traces of blood were observed. In searching for him his friends discovered a stone stained with blood, in a bush quite near the place, and trac ing footsteps and blood thence were led to the holes, in one of which, that was in the middle of the field, the body, as already stated, was found. Two Magistrate., 0. Fitzgerald, and W. H. Bradshaw. Esq. and Mr. Chief Constable Singleton, with his mounted P dice, repaired to the place as soon as the tumid business was known ! A fete days ago, • most atrocious murder was committed at Loughinavally, within four miles of thin town, under the following circumstances:—At the wake of a young woman, who bad scarcely been two months married, some dispute occurred between her frimds and those of her husband, relative to her clothes, which was followed up with great animosity by both parties, who met after her funeral at a public house, at L tughinavally, when in a short time a general and violent rencontre conk place, for which both parties seemed filly prepared; the consequence was, that Dennis Cormickt who was connected with one of the parties, was inhumanly and brutally murdered, his brains being knocked out with stones. By the active and laudable exertions of Charles Kelly, of Charleville, Esq. a Magistrate, the parties were apprehended, and an inquest held, when, in consequence of evidence adduced, the Jury returned " That the decea.ed was murdered by i Martin and Simon Kermit)", by beating out his brains with atones. --Mmilingar Paper. BReTA I. ATT AM—About the hour of seven o'clock on Tuesday morning, a party of men, fourteen or fifteen in uumber, armed with bludgeons, entered the workshop of Mr. Donnelly, white-smith, in Little Ship-street, Dublin, and violently assaulted a man named Thomas Hardin. whom they struck repeatedly. Bar din seized a bar of iron, which was red hot, and resisted for some time, but it was wrested from him. Ile was left in such a state that it was found necessary to have him conveyed to Mercer's Hos pital. A man named Patrick Coates, a journeyman smith, in the employment of Mr. Donnelly, was up stairs at the time, and on hearing the noise, armed himself with a bayonet, and repaired to the spot. Ile saw two men running away,. and pursued them into the street, where be saw seven or eight more men, who ran Mr in the direction of Ross-lane. Ile continued pursuing them, calling out " atop the murderers;" but although the streets were popu lous at the time, no person interfere) to stop any of them, and they eircaped by Nicholas-street. This outrageous assault is supposed to have mien from combination, as foar men, who were in the sin. ployment of Mr. Donnelly, struck for an advance of wages in the week after Easter, and Hardin continued at work.—Gloagow Chronicle. DA KING Bunu t.• AV.—Early on Friday morning a gang of thieves, supposed to be four in number, broke open the dwelling. house of Mr. Spry, watchmaker, of Hereford, and succeeded in carrying off nearly sixty watches, and about 74/. in money. Every thing indicated the systematic coolness and intrepidity of the depredators. Mr. Spry is a fruiterer, and the flour of the shop which is fronting the street was covered with the peel of oranges, on which, in the midst of their plunder, the thieves had found both time and inclination to luxuriate. Mr. Spry, about two o'clock in the morning, was induced to conic down stairs, in con sequence of some noise ; but it was then too late, for the rascals had decamped. No time was lost in giving the alarm ; and that ac tive police officer, Mr. Owen, traced and followed them to Led bury, where they had hired a post-chaise for Worcester; and he succeeded in apprehending three of the men in the streets of that city. Their names are T. Jones (alias the Handy Post-boy), Powell, and Green. Nearly the whole of the watches were found on the person of .long; Powell had about 4W. in money taken from him; and Green was loaded with seals, chains, and Wait watches. The prisoners were conveyed back to Hertford on Satur. day.— Glow:ger Jawswal. E NT•1111i °CCU aRE CE.--011 Tuesday, the York house coach from Bath to Oxford, was upset. The coachman had drawn up at the summit of a sharp hill going out of Swindon, for the purpose of having the wheel dragged, when unfortunately the pole of the carriage touched the flank of one of the leaders. which began kicking, and afterwards set off at a furious rate down the hill.

COTTON.—The demand for Cotton last week was wry ; the gales only amounting to fi3OtN) hales ; good Surats have b ec o chiefly inquired tire, and have commanded full prices, but all loser qualities have with difficulty been sold at a decline of id from the highest quotations : Bengali' remain without any alteration in price. LIVERPOOL. MAY 7. Our Cotton market received an impulse on 3londay afternoon by the accounts from New York to the Bth ult. stating that Uplands in that market had advanced to 26 to 28 cents., and Orleans to 33 cents. per lb. This demand however was soon checked, the trade not following up the purchases of the speculator , : the market since Tuesday has beat very languid, and we reduce quotations Id. per lb. COFFEE—The Coffee market last week was uncommonly heavy ; the public sales ware nearly all taken in. scarcely any offers made; some ordinary brown Havannah sold 625. and G 2, CO. By private contract there appeared some inquiry by speculstots. :ad large parcels of even quality St. Domingo would have sold in. or 2s. higher than small lots: for the former ehis. was asked, but no actual business to any extent wan reported. The public sale this fore noon consisted of 276 casks Jamaica and Dominica Coffee the fine sold 2s. a ds. lower; the other qualities fully supported the previous price: the fine ordinary rather higher ; fine middling Ja maica 96w, good middling 91s. a 925., middling 88s.; fine ordi nary 114 e. ; middling Dominica withdrawn at 775.; there wu no good ordinary in the sale. SUGAR.—The demand for 31w:coracles during the last week was limiud ; some dark.coloured Trinidad and St. Lucia sold so low as 575. but the lowest general quotation of brown Sugars was Ms., and the market closed with more firmness than for some time preceding.

By public sale this fore noon, 150 hhds. Barbadoes Sugar sold at very steady prices ; brown 58s. a 595. Cal. ; the good quality 61s. a 665.

Hemp is in more request, and there is a considerable improvement in she currency. In Flax there is little alteration to nottee.—Tallow July and August shipments, 38; Hemp in bond 311. IN. Sll.K.—There is little doing, but there is an increasing dispo sition to purchase, if the merchants would submit to a small ltu4C. liOn in the prices.
