The Coronation pageant followed, and went off with the uses! eclat. ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSL This amusing theatre was enlivened last night by the presence of EMERY, in a new piece of the melo.dnune order, called The Miller's Maid. The plot, in great part, from BLOOMFIELD'S poem of the same name, runs thus:—The Miller (BART LEY) has gathered under his charitable and thrifty roof, George (Mr. T. P. Cooaa), a stout lad, who has been at sea, and Phoebe (Miss KELLY), an or phan, who has been compelled from hard treatment to desert her parish apprenticeship. They are mutu ally enamoured. George has a rival,of very splenetic tonper, in his fellow-labourer Giles (Mr. Emmet). The Miller finding that love, with its concomitant fends, does not much enhance the industry or peace of his household, determines that !lobe shall de clare herself. and choose one of the young fellows for her husband. She of course selects George, but Giles extracts a promise that should any thing prevent their union, he (Giles) is to have the next preference. This accident instantly occurs; for the lovers on a comparison of their i n f an ti ue recol lections, discover that they have been bred under. the same roof, though they have been divided and kept asunder by varied aecident, ever since the death of their mother. Cites enforces hi. claim, • which is, notwithstanding, rejected by Phwhe. He enters into a conspiracy for forcible abduction of her person with the 'Squire's gamekeeper, whose purpose is to secure her for his master, and leave the obloquy of the deed to Giles. The orphans resolve to have all doubts cleared by repairing to their native town, and consulting the traditions of the aged and the parish registers. Just as they are about to set forth, an old soldier (Mr. ROWBOTHAM) arrives, and encountering Mottle (Mr. HAMLET), a booby of strong literary ambition, though uoicble. to write his name, learns the story of George and Phoebe, repairs to the mill, and explains all happily. Flambe is his own daughter, George only his son by adop tion. Meantime Phabe has commenced her jour ney, but without George. Giles is summoeed, by the gamekeeper to his guilty purpose, but ch anges it to that of rescuing Phoebe from the violence of the 'Squire. This takes place within view of the mill, to which Giles instantly returns bearing Phabe on his arm. Hearing the explanation of the soldier, and finding his pretensions once more baffled, he resigns her with generous reluctance to his more fortunate rival. The original in BLoourtELD is exceedingly beautiful, and its choice simplicity seems to have made a very happy. impressiuu on the fancy of the dramatist. There were only two faults in the stage plot. One lies in the med dling of Mollie with some of the most serious and perplexed incidents, whereby his humour, which is none of the most pertiueut, becomes still more incongruous and objectionable. The other belongs to a piece of love dialogue, which takes place between George and Phabe, when they have nearly the certainty upon diem of being brother and sister. Besides the obvious infringe ment on sensations which can never be happily awakened, implied in this error, it has the effect of protrecti lig the plot. and so fir depraving the interest of ir. Beyond these there is no Gulf: The chaiac tent take a strong and familiar cast, and the dialogue, generally speaking, runs in a vein of spirited and intelligible simplicity. The Aliller is an admirable drawing of rustic life. It is a rich and proper finishitig for the original, sketch in the poem. Mr. BARTLEY performed it with a force and impression equal to the conception of either of the authors. He was a model of solid, plain, and feeling manhood, which must be contemplated with feelings of regret as much as pleasure, because the image belongs not to our own times, but those which are past. Ile was, in short, a miller fit for Arcadia, with the morals of the Christian faith superedded. Miss KELLY played Phcehe with that intense heehaw of sensibility which site infuses into all her juvenile heroines, and mingled the village graces and virtues in her expression most delight fully. Mr. T. P. (7oomit would have been &stk.. guished in his part of George by his unaffected bluntness, but that EMERY stood coestantly in corn 'petition with him. The character of Giles is drawn with only less accuracy than that of the Miller. Being a pure invention, the dramatist has a right to more credit for it than the others,ehich were sketched . to his hands. If any thing. the part was too strongly shaded with malevolence and prophetic denunciations of vengeance. But the indomitable paloion, which could only be controlled and left within the sphere of virtue by the play of surrounding events upon the kinder affections of the nil's'', was a conception worthy of SHARSPEARE. Mr. EMERY gave it the most perfect and glowing animation, and the con. Met of his emotions at the close held the audience in the most interesting suspense. Mr. HARLEY was sufficiently whimsical in his ardour for reading and composing rimesters. but his alliance with the plot was not strict enough to make his business felt ar matter of importance. Mr. ROWNOTH AM was very good in the old soldier, and his swatches of old songs seemed to be very genuine ernauations of feeling. The piece is attributed to Mr. FAUCET. Mr. JOLLY composed the music. The first move ment la the overture, which is again recurred to in the concluding strain. is very charming, possesses a pretty sylvan character, and breathes plaintively, so as to represent the sighing breezes of departing summer. There is a good glee of villagers in the beginning of the piece. The wintery is rich, and the view of the mill, and the country beyond, is as gratifying a landscape as can be viewed. Th e h o use was unsocially full. Mr. BARTLEY gave oat the piece for repetition every 'treeing till further notice, and the tuformstion was hailed with shouts from all parts of the house.

Excellency - 17 AUGUST Hie 04 toed Lieutenant had the honour yesterday to dine with his Majesty the King, at the Palace at the Phoenix Park. The Lord Lieutenant lest night slept for the first time at Dublin Castle. His Excellency will reside at the Castle white lie Majesty remains in Ireland. The following official notice hss been sent to the ministerial newspapers this evening It is understood tort his Stajesie will hold a private levee, at the Vice-Rapt Lodge, o Wednesday next, for the purpose only of receiving the public Authorities, who will be expected to auend in mourning; and that his Majesty will bold a public levee, at the Castle of Dublin, on Moo day, the 90th instant." The Duke of Montrose, the Marquis Graham, the Marquis of Hesdfort, and several others of his Majesty's Household, paid their dutiful respects to the King in the course of the day, at the Lodge in the Park. Sir B. Blomefield, accompanied by a groom, left the Park about two o'clock, in a chariot, for the Castle. The Marquis of Londonderry is for the present the guest of Mr. Secretary Grant, at his Lodge in the Phoenix Park. Saturday, at the time of the Ki -- 's landing Pier his on the .of Howth, his Majesty, with the most gracious condescension, shook hands with a num ber of those who were present, and among the rest with Mr. Denis Bowes Daly. Whilst that Gen tleman was engaged congratulating the King on his happy arrival in Irelaird, one of the light fingered gentry, some of whom have, it appears, been imported from England on the present inte resting occasion, contrived to take from him a va luable gold watch, which he had but very recently purchased for sixty guineas ! His MAJESTY. in the short but elegant speech which he addressed to the crowd who were assem. bled at the Vice-Royal Lodge, in the Phoenix Park, on Sunday last, to greet his arrival in Ire land, congratulated himself on being the first of his family who had ever visited that contry. In this supposition, however, his MAJESTY probably meant • the first Brunswick King. The Duke of CLAusice was, we believe, the first member of that Royal House who ever visited Ireland. It so happened that the ship°, war on board of which his Itoyarl Highoess served as a midshipman, had occasion to enter the harbour of Cork during the time of his vervice, he took advantage of the event and visited the city of Cork, where he was received with such marks of distinction as the suddenness of his arrival and the necessary shortness of his visit would permit. The !etc Earl of SHANNON, on learning of his arrival in Cork, immediately set off fur that city, from his beautiful seat at Castlemarsyr, and hod th e satisfaction of conducting the Prince, .who was then familiarly known by the name of " Prince Wr LUAU," to his splendid mansion. The intelli gence of the illustrious visitor's rank preceded him iu Iris journey, and at every town or village aloug the line of road from Cork to Cestlemartyr, the inha bitants removed the horses from his carriage, and drew it with load cheering through those several places. The Prince remained at the Earl's seat for u short time, wheu he returned on boatd his ship. Among the numerous distinguished fashionables who arrived in Dublin on Saturday were the fol. lowing The Bishop of Chops., the Earl of Kiepton, the Ea►l of Mouotcashel, the Bishop of Killalor, the Earl of Cloonsel, Lord Lowth, Lord Oriel, Lord Cloubrurk, the Earl of Long ford, the Earl of Gesford, Sir Was.

In the Opera of Luse ix a Village, Miss Stephens performed her favourite character of Rosetta, aid gave the songs, in most of which she woe encored, with her owls. temed sweetness.

When he awoke he found his quarter boots had been taken frost his feet, and upon further search he discovered that his pocket, which contained about 1514 in silver, had been also cut from his small clothes. The hoots were afterwards found in the possession of a man named John Tenter, who has in consequence been committed to Hereford gaol to take his trial at the ensuing Aseixes.

The following LeUer i• copied from The Tines, at yesterday : TO THE EDITOR. SIR—As one of the Committee appointed to conduct the processiee which yesterday attended the removal of the remains of our late beloved Queen, I was at an early Inter at Hammersmith, aad proceeded with the cavalcade to Ken *hewn, where the first stoppage took place, which was nearly two hours. .Oa the arrival of the perjeant who had been dispatched to my Lord Liverpool for orders, and a reinforcement of troops, consisting of Life Guards, headed by Sirßobert Baker, it was determined to move on through Ken sington, and to eater Hyde Park by the Kensington -gate. I folloWed on close to the Magistrate, and as attempt was made to force the gate. I saw the Life Guard, cutting the people with floe flat part of their swords, and one or more of their sabres was broken in pieces against the irun gates. I appealed to the Magistrate, and implored him to proceed slung the main road towards Knightsbridge, to which he consented. Shortly after this I had an interview with Sir R. Baker, and having represented to him the certainty that lives would be lost if it was persisted in not to go through the City, Sir Robert said be thought so, sod had made up Ilia mind to go through the City. I asked him which way I should direct our Committee to pritered : be said, down St. James's-street and Pall-mall, best begged, if I possessed any influence, thist I would exert it to prevent any nnpl t expression of feeling aa 'the procession passed Carlton Palace. I then Willed Sir Robert if I Was at liberty to inform the C.ommaistitil-oid tbs assembled multitude of kis deter minatier4 lanniltiented, " Yea." I this proceeded to Mr. Sheriff WiiitliNepk . Lied and Lady Rood, Ili. Hume, Sir Robert IYil ntlideUnaintiaicated the intelligence. I also aanoureed It tit the people as I went along. Mr. Sheriff Weithataa requested Ina to forward to the Lord Mayor a letter from him ow the subject, which I immediately did. On arriving at Hyde Park-corner, I found a barrier thrown scrotal the gate that leads into the Park, consisting of waggons, fee. It was amtoeneed to the throng that no attempt would be made to enter the Patk, but that the procession was to pro ceed on to St .11ainie b sotreet, Ste. So me hesitated, hut thegreater number, seeing the cavalcade actually proceediug &rung Piccadilly, doubted no longer, and followed us; by tine mesas the este-are to Hyde-park was easily effected, and bore that dreadful Scene we have now to deplete. Finding a longer stoppage thee 1 can account for, I rode back and ascertained that the hearse had proceeded through the Park; at this time three parts of the OFFICIAL procession were actually •toise Piccadilly ; finding this, I went to Sir R o bert Baker, who woe is consultatioa with the Command ing Officer of the Guards, and in the presence of matey Gentlemen, who will come forward if necessary, I said, " Sir Robert Baker, knowing you to be the Chief Magis trate, I took your word that the procession should go through the City—you have broken your promise, and on your own head be the consequences—l dread the result." To this Sir Robert made so reply. Meeting Mr. Negri, Waltman, Mr. Home, &e. they naturally 'asked for an ex planatioa, which I gave. Mr. Sheriff Widthwise requested would inform the Lord Mayor of the circumstances here detailed ; this I agreed to du, and wept with all speed to the Mansion Holm tied related the whole. On leaving the blaession House I went withal' baste to meet the procession, which I did at Totteelsant-const-road, and there with grief and horror learned the news of the outrage in the Park ; eves there I sal the People charged with the bayouel by the Foot Guardi, and driven through the streets in the meet Inhuman manner. What followed ie the progress down Tottenhosn-coort-road, Drury-lane, lee. I seed ash details It Ileitis( been given most correctly is your Parr. I cannot conclude 'Mout expressing my sorrow that Sir R. Baker was induced to alter the determination he had come to, of permitting the procession to go through the City : to this eirCesestance 1 attribute the melancholy occurrouces in the Park. August IS. WILLIAM GREIG, 31, City-road. , Advice, have been received from Jamaica, to as late a date as the 29.11 of June. The news is scanty, and of • negative kind, as it is not con firmed that the Patriots had again got po.session of La Guirs. No news had been received respecting Lord COCHRAN E, of a later date than that before obtained ; it was concluded, therefore, that Lima had tii.t fallen, or the intelligence would have reached Jamaica. On the intelligence arriving at A berystwith of the termination of the contest for Carmarthen, every demonstration of joy took place. At Glanrneidol, the seat of Gsoaas 13ossats, Esq. in that neighbour! ood, a bonfire was lighted, and • sup per and several barrel' of ale were distributed by that hospitable Gentleman to a numerous as semblage. On the arrival of Mr. JONES in the neighbourhood of Cardigan, a bonfire was lighted on the summit of Breniiirawr, one of the highest mountains in South Wales. The last contest which happened at Carmarthen, was in the year 1780, on the close of the great contest for the county of Pembroke. The Coroner's Inquest on the body of GEORGE FRANCIS, the man who was wounded at the top of Park-lane on Tuesday, and died in St. George's Hospital yesterday morning, will be held at the Triumphant Chariot. in Pembroke-mews.

Co unse l f ur th e Defendant Pert ington, moved, that en injunction granted by his Honour the Vice-Chancellor to restrain the De• r fondant from collecting sod getting in the cte,hts . due to Henry Candler, the testator, as a eolicitgr. . or to his representatives, should be dissoirgil,:.-eNsl ' also an order, appointing a receiver, io elarsold lie discharged. It appeared that Itenry.k.andler the elder naa a solicitor, and took int% partnership the Defendant, Henry Candler the younger, under an agreement, that if he, Henry the elder,was to die, that Henry the younger should carry on the profession of a solicitor for the mutual profit of himself awl the widow and children of Henry the elder. This aercernesit was further coefirtned by the will of Heory the elder, who shortly after died. Some time after th e d eat h o f the testator, the Defendant, Henry Candler the younger, as signed over the debts of the partnership to another solicitor, the Defendant Partington, who refused tv account to the Plaintiff-, the widow and iiifsnt children of the testator, for the debts due to the parnership, or the 'woke arising from it, on which they filed tl.eir present bill, and obtained the in junction from his Honour the Vice-Chancellor. The Defendants aftetwaids applied to his Honour to dissolve the injunction, which application he re fused. The present motion was in the shape of sn appeal from that decision. The Learned Coons. I contended, that for the purposed this application the facts of the case must be left out of the question, for the success of it must entirely depend on the con struction of the Act of Parliament of the 516411 of Geo. H. for regulating the profession of Solicitor., c. 46, viz.—" And whereas divers persons who are not examined, sworn; and admitted to act as attor neys or solicitors in any Court of Law or Equity do, in conjunction with, or by the assistance or connivance of certain sworn attorneys and solicitors, and by various subtle contrivances, intrude them selves into and act and practise in the office and business of attorneys and solicitors, to the great prejudice and loos of many of his Majesty's soh jects, and the scandal of the profession of the Law : Be it therefore enacted, that from and after the 49th of September, which shall be in the year o f our Lord 1749, if any sworn attorney or solicitor shall act as wilt for any person or persons not duly qualified to act as an attorney or solicitor as afore said, or permit his name to be any ways merle is.e of upon the account, or for the profit orally unqualified person or persons, thereby to enable him or them to appear, act, or practise in any respect *eau attorney of solicitor. knowing him not to be duly qualified as aforesaid, and complaint shall be made thereof in Soy summary way to the Court from a hence any such process did issue, and proof made thereof upon oath to the satisfaction of the Court, that such sworn attorney or solicitor had offended therein as aforesaid, then and in such case every such attorney or solicitor so offending shall be struck off the roll, and for ever after be disabled from practising as so attorney or solicitor ; sod in that ease, and upon such complaint and proof mode, as aforesaid, it shall and may be lawful to, and for the raid Court to commit such un4ualified persons so acing or practising as aforesaid, to the prison of the said Court for any term not exceeding one year." He therefore contended that the partnership was illegal, end could not be upheld by the Court; for it the Defendant Candler was to carry it into execution, he would be liable to be struck eff of the roll of the Court as a solicitor, and the Planet: ffs to im primiument under the Act of Parliament. It Ilskid been determined that one solicitor had the eight to sell his business to another, and under that authority the Defendant Partingtoil had purchased the business of the Defendant Candler, and he was not answerable to the Plaintiffs for thetroceede of it. Under those circumstances he had no doubt but his Lordship would direct the injunction to be dissolved. Mr. WAKEFIELD followed on the same side. Mr. WINGFIELD, Counsel fur the Plaintiffs, said he was ready to meet his Learned Friends upon the clause of the Act of Parliament which by their own shewiog was the only one applicable to this case. The pleamble of the clause sheered that the atisiltiaf which the Legislature was anxious to guard against wss the intrusion of unqualified persons into the ho liness of an attorney, by collation with regular dr ad- NI Ved attorneys. It could not be contended that the testator, by this family contract, intended that the Plaintiffs should act as attorneys in the name of the Defendant Cat.dler, or that ht should permit his name to be made use of for the profit of an nativalified person ; it was only intended that he should act as an attorney, and when by so doing he had reashsed in his own person certain profits, they were to be divided with the Plaintiffs, which arrangement did not fell within the meaning of the Act of Parliament. It was • ease which recurred every day, of established solicitors taking junior partners, and the junior partner, to consideration of the sarstance and recommendation of the seilier. agreed that *Per the decease of the latter, lis. t.,- roily should participate iii the profits of the liii,:- miss. He, therefore, had no doubt but his Lord ship would be of opinion, that the decision ut but Honour the Vice•Chaucellor should nut be dis turbed. Mr. HEALD replied. The LORD CHANCELLOR — se This is a question of too much importance, as it regards solicitor* and their families, to be decided ou motion, there fore it will be necessary to have the opinion of a Court of Law on it. 1 had uoubted whether it was legal that a solicitor should receive a rum of money from another solicitor to recommend him to his business, not on account of the legal ability of the person to be so recommended, but on account of the sum received from hint by the recom mender.
