Miss WILSON repeated the part of Mandane, in Artaxerxes. on Saturday night, to • house equally crowded and fashionable as on her first appearance. As might have been expected, she ',hewed greater fortitude, and exerted a more complete command over her powers than ou Thursday evening. Some of her excellencies, *which escaped observation at first from the splen dour of her performance, became more mani fest. She has that peculiar talent, which. were we to judge by the profession generally, seems to lie almost • magical secret with the vocalists, of unremitting progression in tones as well as inter vals. Her strains have that character of vitality which has rendered Mr. BRAMAN so famous among his judges, and given him such unlimited sway over the genres of his least expert auditors. Like him, Mies Watscisi exercises no harsh detention of the note or the passage to give striking effect in a single instance to the ueglect of the whole strain beside. Though her tones are petalled exquianely,. they never drag or languish—they undulate, die-. solve, mud form again with wonderful power and animation. If we may point out one speck on such bright excellence. it is, that some of her contrasts or alterations between loud and soft are too sudden and inapt. This defect lies been already glanced at by a contemporary. It is to be ascribed to the school from which Miss WILSON has come, which thotigh nearly perfect in discipline, has been ob served.to impart a degree of unmeaning mannerism to its most successful disciples. Miss Wthson's taste and imagination will speedily shake this off as she gains public experience. Her recitative is rather too rich in execution. She will, no doubt, learn to give it a snore familiar and colloquial effect. Her success with the songs was greater than on the first night. The ad miration of her audience rendered some of them thoughtlessly cruel. She was compelled to re peat thosewhich were of the most difficult execu tion,lo the great eshaustion of her strength. After she had repeated Tke Soldier tired," souther cry of encore was set up, which was backed by loud acclamations of applause and manifestations of rapture and astonishment from every part of the house. The more considerate, however, cried " Shame, shame !"—" Too muck too mach !" Miss WILSON stood in apparent perturbation at this conflict of public feeling. She bowed submits. sively and imploringly to the audience. The bu,i nese of the beetle was suspended for some minutes. She was handed by Madame VISTRIs towards the wing, and seemed to suffer from momentary debility. At length Mr. RUSSELL came forward, and having obtained silence, implored the audience, as the whole part of Masticate was extremely difficult sod laborious, no less thau the last song, that they would kiudly condescend in forego their claim to ano th e r teptiition of " 7hs Soldier tired." This was , cheerfully granted, and the piece went on without further interruption. Mr. BRAHAN gave increased effect to "Oh I too lovely, too unkind." He has been frequently charged with a love of tawdry ein bellishment in his graces, and a want of taste for the compositions of the great masters. Let an y who hold that opinion go and hear him sing the song just named, and '• Water patted." Never were the joint inspirations of poetry and music snore chastely and powerfully blended iu living bong than by Mr. MMUS' in these two pieces. The latter especially was as plain tive, melodious, and passionate as the human voice could express it ; sod with the pathetic violoncello accompanitueet, which was finely exe cuted, led the audience through labyrinths of feel ing and fancy perhaps never before explored by the greater part of them. This was, indeed, a sober and genuine triumph of the art over the judgment, no lessthan the other stases of those who heard it. Mr. Holm was loudly applauded fur his performance of "I Behold, ow Lease's dismal strand," aud he was no kw loudly encored after Ins spirited execu lion of " Thy father! away." Miss POVEY creased the degree of favour to which she had been advanced by her first performance of .emira. Madame VESTRIS was again loudly smeared in " lie hefts" Mir hopes and fears."— Vire donut like the i l i nhe of the tune on the seventh line, and still leas I.e. •larmonious stoppage of it tin the syllable so, in the word innocence, in the same line. In other respects nothing could be song better ; it was exceedingly touching, aud her SUMO were of almost luscious sweetness. The quartet, " Light as stoon-beants," was enthusius tically encored. 'the whole piece, in fact, holds the attention of the audience nearly in a drudgery of admiration ; as lung as it has been written, as frequently aud perfectly as it hiss been per's:ruled, it never Wore commanded such marked attention and such loud and heartfelt applause.

BROIVNE. A■ attempt has been made mostly to assassinate Colonel Brower, wa well known from his opersexiois with the Milan Commission. The account is coutsioed in a letter from the Duke of Leeds to the Earl of Liverpool. The following statement has been published:— _ " Colonel Browne some time ago came over to Cog land, where leaving karat t►e pa►ticular charges brought against bin, be returned to Italy to collect decisive sm. deuce for the refutation of those calumnies: Whilst ►e was bare, be did not coolant his belief that his life would be attempted in Italy; and be mentioned to the gent le. man from whom we received Ibis statement that he commonly carried pistols for self-defence, He hod nearly arranged his af. fairs at Milan, and Ind already forwarded all his papers to England, meaning to follow then himself in less than ten days; when, on the Bib instant, returning late at sight, and alone, from the opera, be was attacked by two as sassin■, evidently with no intention of robbery; fur though they disabled him, they did not attempt to plunder him of his watch, money, or other valuables. The Colonel de fended himself resolutely, and a violent struggle ensued, in which be received fuse wounds in the head, apparently with • *site, inst see it the cheer•, endentirselek ninletie. The last would certainly have been fatal, but fur the thick ness of his great coat, and waistcoat. As it was, the weapon penetrated on the left side of the chest, and considerably injured the • seventh rib. The Colonel's friend and physician, Ur. Cieeri, was called in, lib°, on perceiving the nature sf the wounds, thought it no. eeasary to require the aaaintanee of an eminent sewing, Professor Palette, of the Milan Hospital, and both of them continued assiduously to attend their patient. Three of the wounds in the bead were pretty deep, the other slighter ; but dee most dangerous was the wound in the cheat ; from which, however, his medical attendants stn inclined to think that fatal consequences are not to be apprehended. It is attended with acute pain, restlessness, and dilliculty of breathing; but these symptoms have been alkviated by bleeding. Upon the whole, the Colonel is going on as well as could beexpected ; he is la the bauda of very skilful men, tied will receive every benefit that care and 'nastiest can give. The assassin. have fur the present escaped, but the Government has taken every step fur their apprehension. The above account is contained is • letter from the Duke of Leeds to the Earl of Liverpool ; and a bulletin by Dr. Ciceri and Professor Palette, up to six p. m. on the 10th instant, has also been forwarded, for the satisfactioii of the Colonel's friends. It is hoped that he will himself be able to write by the next courier." The following is an extract of a private letter from a person attached to the household of Colonel Browne : " 111ilsu , December 12. " It is needless for me to attempt to describe the horror of • deed w►ich makes every heart shudder.— Still, the interest I •m aware you take in every trans action has induced me to address you. On liaturday evening Carload Browne attended the Duke of Leeds to the Opera-bonne. After the eatertaiament, the Colonel unattended and afterward, was proceeding home, when, on a 'oddest, two realises assaulted him, oae of whom pierced him on the left side with • stiletto, and exclaimed, " Ofatfa!"—(lt is done.) A walk caused between them, in the course of which the Colonel received four wounds on the bead, and was thus left. He was able, however, to And his way home, and immediate recourse was had to several Physician., who, to the exceeding joy of every one, ascertained that none of the wounds were mortal. I am now happy to state, not only that this intelligence Ile. been repeatedly confirmed, but that he is recove►ing. The narrow escape which dm gallant and meritorious officer had, may be further judged of from the following ructimaauce:—At the battle of Vittoria, where he served as roe of i the Duke of Wellington's Aides-de-Camp, he received a severe wound in the bead, which never closed, but over which he has since wore • silver plate, that had been let into the fracture. Had any one of the four wowed. dieted noun him by the assassins been given in that part of the head, the consequences, i■ all probability, would have beer immediately fatal."

THE EAST INDIA COMPANY. 31r. SCARLETT stated that this way an issue di rected by the Lord Chancellor, to try the question of the amount of tithe which the East lodes Com pany were liable to pay for the India (louse their warehouses its Lime -street, called the Coast and Surat Warehouses, to the Manna, who is Rec tor of the pariah in which these bildslittga are si tuated. The Learned Counsel stated, that this question dirt nut originate with the Plaisititf, but with the D-fentialits, who, in 18IY, demurred to pay the same amount of tithe which they load paid for eleven yews previous; the Plaintiff hail therefore been obliged to apply to the Court of Cll4lWrf %litre the cense had been ever once, the Eart ludo' Company not having paid any tithe at all during that period. The Plaintiff was 011 the best terms with his parishioners, and had never felt the most distant in clination to enforce the right which he had to its full extent. It was well known that by Act of Parliament the clergy of the city of London were entitled to 2-.91 1 . in the pound on the rental of th.ir parishes. Dlr. Antroboa had never demanded that sum, or any thing like it, or hid ever intended to do so ; but the East bubo Company had now taken the sub ject out of his hasids—they had stlectell so go'before the Lord Chancellor, and his , Lortlssitip had pto• ceeded in the only way he could with the rase. namely, to make a question of value of it, and it had been referred to the Muster to make the in quiry. The result of that inquiry hail been a ferrnt estimate from each party ; nod the Chancel lor not being able to decide winds was right and which was wrong, had sent the question to a Jury to be determined. Mr. SCARLET? then proceeded to call Mr. Mon togas, Mr. Britton, arid Mr. Robertson, eminent surveyors, and several merchants and warelions.- mei., to wettings the value of the premises. The result of the testimony given by these witnesses was, that the ground-rent of the site on which the India House and warehouses stood might fliirly be estimated at 1,485/. per annum, and the rent of the warehouses at 1.9801. The cost of building the India House was estimated at 609,0001. and un this a rent of 6.0481. ought to be laid, which would give a yearly rent of 9,498/. on which sum the Company ought to pay the tithe of 4s . gd. in the p fund. The SoitctTott•Gankast., on the part of the Defendants, contended that the value of the pre mises was greatly overrated in this estimate, and that the premises were, in fact, not worth more than half the sum. To prove this case, lie called— Mr. Cockerill, architect to the Company, and Mr. Pickering and Mr. Shaw, surveyors ; the first of whom valued the premises at the yearly rent of 3,990% the two latter at 4,300/. n-year. After hearing Mr. Scarlett in reply, and the sum ming up of the Chief Justice, the Jury found a ver dict for the Plaintiff, fixing the annual value of the premises at 5,0001. SZNNINGTON mod °TRIM V. IRETON aid The Souceesme-Gaiseee stated this case to the Jury. The question they would nos: have to con sider was, whether a Gentleman named Haynie was, at the time of executing his will, im August, 1816, in sane mind. Mr. Hsyne was a gentleman of con siderable property. In 1811 he was attacked with a violent illness, which terminated in derangement of intellect : he was put under medical restrains,. sod a commission of lunacy was issued out against him. 181 e, however, he was attacked with a paralytic stroke, which, whilst it very much effected his bodily health, assisted most utate ►isUy in restoring the time of his mind. He went on improving gradually, and in August, 1816, he had entirely recovered his mental facul ties, and expressed • wish to make ■ new will, as he was dissatisfied with one made in 1796; soil, accordingly, he sent for his solicitor, Mr. Taylor, a most respectable gentleman. Mr. Taylor, know ing the fainter state of his mind, used every pre caution, by conversing with him, to ascertain the soundness of his mind; and, convinced of his sanity, took his instructions sod drew up the will accordingly. After several interviews Mr. Tay lor took his will to him. duly drawn, fur his exe cution. At this lime Dr. Powell and Mr. Gill man, his medical intendants, were present, and were so well satisfied of his sanity that they at tested the execution of the will. He understood mach stress was to be laid on the circumstance of the commission of lunacy not having been super• seded ; bat in reply to that circumstance, he would spew it was in progress to supersede it, when a second paralytic stroke so far affected his bodily health as to render him incapable of taking the steps necessary for that purpose. Alr.:lritylor. Dr. Powell, and Mr. Gillman were examined as to the state of Mr. Hey ne's faculties at the time of executing the will, and spoke in the strongest terms of.his sanity. • Mr. SCARLETT, for the Defendants, said, after this evidence he would resist no longer. A verdict was accordingly taken for the Plaintiffs. EXr/i4ORM.V.-ORY k RAC AS.
