The dancing began with great spirit at half past nine ; a:4l. the company did not se,iarate tilt a late hour in the naorhing, and seemed aduated by one spirit ; and the ease and good humour which played on the countenances of the merry groups must have been a Battering avowal of the esteem in which the MASTIC of the Calmmosit is held by his noole and fashionable gursts.

His Lordship said, he was sorry to be obliged to declanr, that after the most mature consideration, he could riot judge theliets without farther information from the Master ; the business must, therefore, be sent back to him to i-quire whether, and under what circumstances, these different religious houses existed at the time of the testator's death, and also under what circum stances, and by what Audio:4y they at present existed ? Mr. Ptownee said, he hoped his Lordship h •.1 not so unalterably fixed his opinion, as to make it uniwcessary for him to address a few words to him on the part of the legatees, which being lately em ployed, he craved permission to do. Mr. Rost lute, on the other side, said he hoped his Lordship would not countenance such an un precedelited proceeding, as to allow Mr. Plowden now to enter on the argument; if he did, there would be no end to arguments, as they could he kept be fore the Court to eternity, by the parties taking in a fresh Counsel. Mr. Proor thee made a few observations ; bnt his Lordship said, there was nothing could make him believe that he ought to make an order different horn that he had already made. Er parte nit Sr KT, in tie matter al MILL,. limatie. 'Phis was an application to obtain a surd of 4.4001. of the property of the Lunatic, for the purpose of defraying the expellees of inelming part of the es tate of the Lunatic, in Yorks :ire. We reported die arguments in a former paper. The LORD CIIAN CLL.! on this day ordered it to he referred to the Master, to enquire how much of the Lunatic's pro perty should be paid far the inclostire, and bow much the persons oisning the inheritance ought to pay, and hose much they were willing to pay. 11•11 COME dind O'CALLEGAS V. FLOSS and oTnitits. This was an application made by Mrs. Malcome on behalf of her children, some of wbom were minors, and the objet of it was to have the chil dren removed from under the care of Mr. Giles Powel, a clergyman and school -muter, and to have Mr. Carr, who had been appointed Solicitor by the. Master, removed ; and also to have the cause take ri entirely out of the Master's office, and trans ferred to another, and that the master should pay the costs. 'Mr. RICIIARDS, on the part of the Plaintiffs, stated, that the ground on which Mrs. Malcome sought to take her children out of the custody of Mr. Powel, was the immoral condud of that gen tleman. Mr. lli cKA aDS then proceeded to state, that the ground of the application to remove Mr. Carr, the solicitor, was not any charge of misconduCt against him, but merely because he had been appointed by the Master, whose private solicitor he was, without ' any direction from the Coma, or consent of the Plaintiffs; and, finally, that the reason he sought to remove the cause fr. im the Master's ()Mee was, that the Master, from his intimacy with Mr. Powel, could not ad in that impartial manner which was ne. cessary for the purposes of justice. Mr. Rico A nos then, 1.1 a speech of considerable length, interspers ed with many profound observations, detailed the faits, which were as follows :--T he testator, who had lived with Mrs. Malcom for a consider ahle time, and had many children by her, died in to • year 1796, leaving a considerable property to be ci vided amongst them. Immediately on his death, the children were placed under the care of Mr. rowel, it not being thought expedient to let them remain with their mother, on account of the m inner in which she was conneded with their father. Some time after this, Mr. Power wrote se veral letters to Mrs. Malcome, expressing his won derful attachment for her, and filled, as it was stated, with the most fulsome tales of love and dying stories that ever were exhibited in a fashionable novel.— In consequence of these, and some concurrent cir cumstances, Mrs. Malcome applied to Mt. Low, an eminent Solicitor, to file a Bill in Chancery, to have an account taken of the property of the testa .or, and a guardian appointed to the children.— This was accordingly done ; and in the year 1799, an order was made to refer it to the Master, to take an account of the property of the testator, and to report t proper person to be appointed guardian to the minors. At this time, as is usual in this kind of equoes, which are called amicable causes, there was but one Solicitor ho all die parties; but, when they went before the ' aster, in the month of April, 1800, he suggested .ti it was necessary to have two So licitors ; and ` .tier some opposition on the part of Mr. Low, who argued that it was customary ; the Master appointed his own solicitor, Mr. Carr, to ad on one side, without making application to the Court. Mr. O'Callegan, Who WAS a par ticular friend of the testator's, a: this time came up to town, and offered to take on him the guar dianship of the children ; but the Master, as alleged by the Plaintiff, being instigated by the re presentations of Mr. Powel, for whom Irk had a great friendship, refused to appoint him gardian, unless a lady of the name of Ashbonrn was jiiined with him. Ibis Mr. O'Callegan refused, and tilt Master was about to appoint Mrs. Ashbourn sole guardian, but the Plaintiffs having opposed it, Mrs. A. died pending the litigation. The matter has ever since remained in the same state, the children being sti I left under the care of Mr. Powel. Mr. Ow to, on the same side, argued rt consider able length, making use of extremely strong lan guage against Mr. Dowel, and also throwing consi derable blame on the Master for allowing the opi nion •'f Mr Poo el to sway him so much. _ Mr. Rohm Lir appeared for some of the Defend arts, and submitted to the judgment of the Court. Mr. HART, on the part of Mr. Powel, sail this application had not been made, fur the purpose of doing justice to the infants, to the Tribunal of the Court ; it had been made fOr a very different pur pose, and to a very different tribunal—that which he meant was the tribunal of the public, and the purpose intended to be effeeted was the blast ing the character of a gentleman whe had atted to the children as a father. This case was formerly before the Court, and it was with the greatest pans published at considerable :maw 0,401 ; tt whole newspaper covered wait A And cfrculated all through the country where sir Powel . rto/d ; all these letters Attributed to him, being fub ,iisherl-at full length. Mr.,R co a a in reply, mid, every thing he had stated must be considered as allowed by Mr. Posed and ti'le Master, as no of idavidi had been made. -.4)rie Loan CNA xcet. tom said, that with respeet to the publication which had been already made, of the proceeding in this caisi• at the last hearing, he could do nothing, hie ex,ir..ss his regret at it ; he. h•td said nothing more on that occasion, with relpeet to Mr. Powel, than that as he was not bseore the Court, he could not be taken any notice of in the cause. His Lordship then adverted to the case of Vancouver and Mks, on which a complaint had been made to the Court for a mistatement in a newspaper, and again repeated what he had said on that occasion ; namely, that if any untruth or libel was set forth in print, or if the law did not al low this kind of ex parte statements, the Courts of Law were open, and to them application should be made. His Lordship then went over almost the whole of the case, and said, that the children should be taken out of the care of Mr. Powel, as he wisely did not wish to keep them ; but as to ordering the Master to pay the costs, he had no kind of jurisdiCtion to do it. His Lordship allowed, that if the Master aFted by Mr. Powel's directions, he did very wrong, and also, that he did wrong in appointing his own solicitor to conduit part of the cause; but now, at the distance of four years, he could take no notice of it, and would not remove the cause from the Master's office, hut order that he should proceed in it de die iq diewe, and if it was wit convenient for him to proceed during the vacation, then that the Eumma. Master should go on with it. CoIIO.VER'S INQUEST. Last night, at half past sit o'clock, a Coronet's Inquest WAS held on the body of _lwo Bonny . the untoitunAte woman who was found floating in the New River, on Wednesday morning last. The brother to the deceased first came forward s and said, his sister, Anne Bonny, had been a mar ried woman, and had five children, one of which was at present alive. Her Irish in I had parted from ner about five years since, bat he net having seen the deceased for some months back, nor even the uody since it was taken out of the water, the Caroller did not think it necessary to examine him on oath. The next witness called was Charles Kirwnod, a lad of about sixteen years of age, he deposed, that he was, on lVednessiay morning List, between five And six o'clock, with his fellow-Apprentice, fishing in the New River, near the bridge at Sadlers Wells. He observed something like a bundle of cloaths floating on the water, and called to his companion, who, on coming up and examining, minutely, saw the back hi a person's head. They at first sent a dog in for the pat: pose of getting her nearer the bank; but that plan not succeeding, they procured a pole with some nails in it, with which, and.by the assist ance of the boys' master, who chanced to pass, tLey brought the body to the bank. She was dressed very well, but her cap and bonnet had fallen off ; had rings in her ears, and on her fingers; in her pocket were found a shilling, a pocket-book, and some trifi.ng articles. 'Che witness thought she had a bruise on her left temple, and another on her cheek ; but they did not appear as if they were the cause of her death. He intorm:d the parish officer, who had her conveyed to St. James's church, and p'oted in one of the vaults. SYsaiiAlt Thorn, a sieve maker, in the Curtain Road. deposed to the person of the deceased; s!ir had lived with him as house-keeper, Is t ,t-nut months since, and he war obliged to part from her on account of her being almost continually intoxi cated. After she left aim, s'ite worked at the tailor's business, and. he believed, was conneeed with a journeyman tailor, of the name of Oakley. After seeing the deceased on Wednesday evening last, the witness went to Oakley, and asked him, whether ie had seen Ann Bonny lately, and how sh t WAS ? Oakley, being then not vety sober. said he had seen her not long before, sad that she was then very well, as he had appointed to meet her that evening. Thorn then told him that she was dead ; but he would not believe him. The neat morning the witness went again to Oakley, and begged of him to endeavour to find out Anne Bonny, as, unless he' could produce her before him, he would not be lieve ; hut that it was her body which was lying in the vault of the church. Oakley then went out; and after being away for near half an hour, he re turned, and said, it was true enough she WAS a corpse at Clerkenwell. William Oakley was then called, and said that he had known the woman for some time; the last time he saw her Was on Monday last, when he met her in the street, and she appointed to meet him on Wednesday evening. He then related that the other witness had come to him, and said his reason for saying she was well was that he had seen her so short a time before, and that she had promised to meet him that night. The nest morning, when Morn came to him, he went. according so his wish, to a house of call for tailors, where she used fre quently to be, and was there informed that she had disappeared on Monday, and was then lying dead at St. Jaynes Church. Thomas Jackson, a hair-dresser, living near the witness Thorn, said he had seen the deceased about three months since ; she came into his shop to have her hair cut, and was at that time a little in liquor, sh e several times altered her mind about the tom she would have her hair cut in, and after getting som e gin and water. said Thorn had not treated her well, and sbe was resolved to put an end to herself, and told hirre he would hear of her being drowned in the Nest Ittwer before it was long. The brother tie the deceased again came forward, and said lie hetY.e.o. the body of his sister ; it ap peared to hien that some violence had been used w'th her, as one of her eyes was nearly out of the so..ket s he therefore waked to know whether Any thing np peered in evidence which would warrart a suspicion of such a nature ? rhe C:, sruner informed him no thing had come out in evidence, and that the present appearance ot the deceased wigs the effefl of time, as it was not owed that any material marks of violence appeared when she was taken OW; of the water. Ihe Coroner then briefly observed on the evi dence to the Jury, who, in a short time, returned a eedia— Fatidnd ar , *-tied; goie Cease link,issm.

The thickness of the f•g and smoke pre vented us from capturing two of the enemy. Ano ther affirm took place on Wednesday, in which the rudder of the Difi L rerice was struck by a s.hell, her foretop and main brace shot away, and one of her midshipmen killed. '1 he success of the present Lottery chews what may be done by an ingenious and judicious arrange ment of Prizes ; for, indep:ndent of its having an equal number of Capitals, with Lotteries that have contained five nr ten thousand more Tickets, all the Blanks, for several days, will be entithid to Wen Pounds each. It seems to be the general opinion, that the whole will be sold before the Drawi-.g com mences. We received yesterday, a letter froth a gentle• man, at Chesterfield, desiring us to contradict, in the most positive terms, the account given in this ' Paper, of three French Generals. p-isoners of war, at that place, having been stopped on the lath instant, by three fellows, armed with bludgems, and robbed, no such event having taken place. The paragraph, we believe, first app.ared in a provincial Paper, and was thence copied hues the London Prints. 'the falsehood certainly did sot originate in this Paper. At the late assizes held at Exeter, a cause was tried before Sir Samoan Lt 81, AMC and a special jury, 'Arch considerably interested the inhabitants , of the county in general, and of the northern part of it in particular. It was brought by Roacar Ncw CON INC ILDON, Esq. against Rico site Iscti. Dom EL: av. Esq. and others, on a charge of falsely and maliciously, and without any reasonable or probable cause whatsoever, indiaing and causing and procuring him to be indifted for perjury. The bill of Indian-rent was found by the pan! jury at the last Epiphany Sessions, and two f the De.end. ants, Hitt and Wit Li A sts, were examined At wit nesses in support of it. Sion aver, however, the finding the bill, a defeft was discovered in it, and it was therefore deemed advisable, for the purpose of resenting expence and trouble to Mr. lac 11.1,011. to abandon the prosecution, and give him notice of it; and the great question in the trial was, wheti-er there was a probable cause for suopsfling the Plain tiff to have been guilty of the perjury or not and, after a full hearing. a false swearing was most clear ly and satistetorily roved. The Learnad judge dires!led a nonsuit, by which die pntlenirn who in. stunted the prosecution for the perjury have been relieved fcom th- imputation rhtown on their chi. ra&ers, of their ha.. :it wantonly and without e probable cause, instituted so setione ischarge. The • danages were laid at 10,0001. 1. J
