The report contained an eulogy on the public character an d merits of the Duke de litcHtstEu, and ex pressed the entire acquiescence of the Committee in the grant proposed, with the remark, 4' that the ~um of 50.000 francs e-year was propo►tioned net itier to the generosity nor to the gratitude of the monarcl► and the nation, but that, in limiting the „ co mpel'se to this stun they wished to render their homage to the disinterested character mid noble m oderation of the Duke dr H The Co eeeee iittee thus cresi6rin the tir.t.a►tiele of the proposed law ; but they object to the @Period, •hicb enacts, that this earn shall be charged alien the property of the Civil List.

The character of Meg Mari:its, in the musical play of Gay Mannering, was lest night represented by M Ica SOMERVI I. LE. being her first appearance. on the London boards, in that part. This l.ady hail previously personated " the Ginsy Vagrant," when preforming with the Bath C patsy, and re ceived, we underetand, the moat flattering teronno- Mee of approbation from the prime inhabitants of the British flair. Her idea of the character dif !ere easentielly from that of her predecessors—whe ther it he more correct than theirs, is another ques tion. From a perusal of the novel, we are led to think, that Meg Alerrilies should, when transferred to the stage, display more of the emnruatieling than of the pathetic—more of the hold than of the tender. Fier h a bits have long been rude and savage—she has herded with the vileet of the vile-e-she bw cotn maned with those, an association with whom, UN surely destroys the gentler feelings,, all the touch of the torpedo paralyzes ployeical strength. Feeling is not, however, wholly obliterated. The probable fate of young Bertram, connected as it is with the recollection of past days of innocence moil of hap piness, interests a heart almost dead to emotion— and elicits occasional gleams of feeling ; as the feeble rays of the sun, taunting the topmost crags in the rugged scenes of SA LVATOR Rosa, by con trast render the general gloom more strikingly ter rific—so these scintillatry of iraticction ought to place, in the 'strongest point of view, the almost savage wildness by which they are surrounded. Miss Son F.RV seem' to have read the character dif ferently. She has added to its pathos, but she has detracted considerably from its strength. In her first scene, more of determination, less of pity, should have been Manifested. The reason is ob vious. Meg Merrilses, when interrogated, tells Harry Bertram that she knows him better than he knows himself—throughout the scene she acts the Oracle—owl a faltering accent and averted look be fit nut such a character. They are caleulirted to engender doubt, the Gipsy wishes to inspire con fideoce. The scene with Dominic Sampson was acted in an unexceptionably excellent manner. This portion of the play is of a elierptered de scription. The beisiiiess of the present moment c.ills forth a lofty and detertnitted spirit— remembrance of the past, gives rice to bitter re pentatice—and the prospect of the future produces a melancholy and superstitious presentiment of evil. Miss SosstaviLLE 'narked. with affecting accuracy, the strongly-contrasted features which distinguish this, perhaps the most dal It scene in which Aleg !Versifies appears—end wleiwramily and universally applauded. We wete pleased with her delivery of the poor waiidereVe heart-tout hing re quest, to have the walls of the old cottage its the glen. the scene of her youthful joys, rebuilt. when .he Omit have ceased to exist. A strung expression of the pathetic is necessary to give full effect to this highly interesting passage ; Miss SOMERVILLE proved that she understood it well, and her action zed utterance were its beautiful accordance with the melancholy which pervades it. The itascotitre with Dirk Ilatteraick (aussin was extremely well sopported. The bitterness of manner which barbed her reproaches, war in complete unison with the clisracter. The dying -argue was skilfully managed. We have only one other observation to make on the pet fortnasice of M its SO)I eav I LI.E, which is, that she introduced a sort of broken dialect, half Scotch half English. which, in our mind, though it may claim the merit of singularity. blends little chance of being praised on the score of propriety. We are a good deal at a loss to discover why Meg Merril;es should affr ct the Scottish dialect, while Baillie Murklethrift, Mrs. Al.eundlish, (lie retterwued Dominic Sampson, and the great body of .)leg's follower% are content, Scots as they are, to speak in plain English. It is a false ertiorment—and, as a painter would say, entirely out of keeping.— To harmonize with the characters amongst whom slue moves. Meg should tither speak Etiglish, or they should minute Scotch. At present she hiss a very nadir monopoly of the northern twang. Miss Stamens . tiLLE'rat performance commanded the ap plause of a eery crowded audience. Miss Foot e, in the absence of Miss MATTIIIIMs, who, ire regret to say, is vety ill, suppurated the cha racter of Julia Monnering. The other parts were cast as heretofore—awl, having already spoken cf them, in the maitirse of the week, in terms of unqualified approltatiois, we do nit deem it itecessitry to reps Lii our praises.

GRAND JURY. Mr. Justice BAY LET took his seat on Elie Bench at half-past nine o'clock, when the Grand Jury for the Comity of Middlesex were sworn.

The in ifichneitt was against the Bailiffs and Churchwar dens, fur a supposed conapirsicy, in refusing to amens a poor's-rate—and the Delendsnts wished to have it removed, as they were iipprehensive they would mot receive an impartial trial in the county where the indictment was found.—Motion granted. nottaaLoweat v. ?Rowe and oittErts, Assignees V GIBBONS.. Thus was an action of 'rover, on three bills of ex change, ;.r the Irma of 9401. It was brought by order of the Vice-Chancellur, and was tried before Chief Justice Abbott, at the Guildhall sittings, after List Tr' • y Term, when the Plaintiff was non:mated. The Defrodatits admitted thitt had they become posammed of the billy as assignees, and that they hid converted them. It appeared that, on the '2.1 of Nlarcli, 1816, the Plsintiff's clerk went to the counting-house of Messrs. Gibbon., who were hankers at Wolverhampton, and requested that, for the three hills its question, Messrs. Gibbous would •give their bill on London, at two months, to which they coo , elited, and drew on Messrs. F:silaile, their banker. in London. Ott the 4th of March the hill was presented, but Messrs. Estlaile, " not havilig been milvimal," refused to accept it—aid on thi gh'', Messrs. Gibbous and Co. becetne bankrupts. On winding up their account with Alessis. Eilaile, effects solficittit to cover the tf.•lit doe by them, and a surplus of upwards of min/. %ere ,Otind to the hands of Messrs. Estlaile ; alio therrupou trans mitted the three hills, now claimed by the Planitiff, and which had been sent to their banking-house, to the assignees of Gibbona and Co. who resisted giv ing them up to Hortiblower. The flOnplif w as di rected, on the ground that the Plaiutiff's 'merest in the bills hail ceased the moment lie exchanged them with Gibbons and Co. In the course of the last Term, Mr. MaRtIYATT obtained a rule to thew cause why the nonsait should not be art aside, and a new trial granted.. Mr. SCARIATT and Mr. TYNDALL this day abetted cause. The question war, whether the hills still remained the properly of the Plaintiff? For several reasons, it was evident that they did tort— and, indeed, the present was not a tit case fur au action of tenser. although it might have beets the subject of an action of assumpsit. Bills of ex change, like any other species of commodity, when endorsed over, for any coosideration, became the property of the malinger, and could loot re-vest iii the iniriy endorsing, on account of a breach of contruct. It could not be contended, that a bill of exchange did not come within the provisions of the statute of the flat James—because, in this case, as in that of goods placed in the possession of a person on the eve of bankruptcy, the bankrupts, by means of those bills, were enabled to deceive in diviilonls, with respect to their solvency, and to prticuie tea ei.larged credit. For it was not possible that ally persoti, from whom they might wish to raise money on such a security, could tell whether it really belutiged to them or not. This wits an exchange of securitira—and, supposing that to he the fact, the Pleintiti had no right to ask his bills back, unless a sprcifie agreement were made nn that poiut, or a charge of fraud against Gibbons and Co. could be sustained, neither of which existed. No evidence was given of soy agreement—and, as to flood, it was palpable that none was contem plated, since, when the accounts with Monis. E.daile were wound up, it appeared that Ciey (toed more 111811 0001. to the estate of the bank rupts, and had, in consequence, given tip the bills. Mr. M A ItRYATT 81141 Mr. V. LAWES were heard in support of the rule. The question merely was, whether or ‘tit the three hills were vested in Mews. Gibbotia . v the original trommetion ? If this were the case, then the Plaintiff had only an interest in them, its a creditor, and must !trove his debt under the euininissiou. But, it was evident, that, by implication, there wits an agreement, and there wan sufficient matter on which to raise the question of from!. The Plaintiff took hack the bill to Messrs. Gibbons, when payment was refused, but lie could not demand his bill* of Messta. Esdaile, to whom they lead been transmitted, they being real and bums fide holders. Au exchange of acceptances bid often been heard of—but this was not a trans action of that kind. Ilere three good acceptances were given for a bill that was nut accepted, and which could nut, therefore, be deemed a valuable consideration, in exchange. It was a substitution of one piece of paper Sur another—thot produced by the Plaintiff being valuable, and that given by Messrs. Gibbous being of no value whatever. Now, it could seemly lw doubted, that there was here an implied undertaking, that the paper howled by Messrs. Gibbons and Cu. to the Plaintiff should be co.exteusive in value, and co-beneficial, with that which they had received. With respect to the allegation of fraud, it could not be denied, that, if Gibbon* sod Co. got possession of bills, by giving another in exchange, they, knowing, at the tutor, that they diak nut possess lauds to meet it, they u .derttlelt cirrirtistsir . -•'. be tiaitl to ' have acquired Hay peterrot in the hills thus pro cured, wire they had (doomed them by concealing n aunt imnerrteur point, That l o ch a • velment wag intended. appeared frontilie fact, Oita they had lint .1 ariviseil" of the bill in flues tutu. They did not. became they knew there were not Aufficient funds in the hand, of their banker , to meet it. A. to the lounge of the 21st of James, it did toot apply to this c.ltte, inasmuch as bills of exchange could not. tender that statute, be consi dered as gond* and (+agent. Certainly no person could he deluded by seeing those bills in the hands of Gilibtins and Co. hecattie, :in hankers it molt h a ve he el , known, that they were acciititomed to have hills in their po ,, e, , tois, as much, if not inure, iu trust fur others than as their own immediate property. The CottitT helot, that the property passed, by the actual eschaiive, fenin the Plai ntiff to Messrs. Gibbons. The bilk giltwri to Gibbons were en dorsed—tho y were 11/11t , ;ilittlitly negociable—and the prides holding than bad au unquestionable right to part with them for a valuable consideration to whomsoever they ple.i-.11.

Mr. SCARLIAT titittrrl for a rule to shew cause, why a crnnui iI inframation should not be filed against Mr. Patrick Cannily, for sending a chal lenge, or endeavouring to provoke • gentleman of the name of IVilliain Mitchell, to tight a duel. Mr. W. Mitchell and his brother, John Mitchell, were respectable merchants in the City of London, omit had been appointed trustees, under the mar riage settlement of a young lady, on her union with Mr. Conolly, which took place in 1813. The lady hail is fortune of 10,0001. three per Cents. *lnch was gelled sill her for her separate use, and which it was covenanted should not be disposed of except upon Goveromeitt, or freehold security. lit the year 1816, Mr. Conolly wished to pure chase 14 house at Brighton, and applied to Mr. W. Mitchell to lay out seven hundred pounds on the speculation. 1I r. Mitchell, not knowing how far he might Ire authorised, by the deed of settlement, to accede to this proposition, referred Mr. Cottony to his Solicitor, Mr. Le Blanc. By that grotlensani he was informed, that the request could tint legally be complied with. The year fol lowing Mr. Connally renewed his application ; and, in the course of his correspondence, thought fit to use vroy abusive expressions towards Mr. W. Mitchell, who, tat length, declined answering his letters. Mr. Cottony afterwards met Mr. W. Nlitcliell anti his brother, on the Steyne, at Brigh ton, when lie assailed them as persons of low slid contemptible origin, and i n sulted them very much, fraying to Mr. W. Mitchell, amongst other things, " If your feelings are offended, I am ready to give you satisfaction." lie suiPtequently wrote a letter, apologiaing fur what had passed, and stating, that he wished to purchase soother house, the reversion of whir li, in fee, he could obtain. Mr. W. Mitchell again referred him to Mr. Le Blanc, who answered, that such a purchase could not be made, ii con formity with the deed of settlement. On this, Mr. ('molly wrote several angry letters to Mr. W. Mitchell, who, at length, found it necessary to send one of them hack unopened. In consequence, on the 4th of January, in the present year, lie wrote a letter, which contained expressions, the object of which could riot be mistaken. lit order to insure its recept;oit, for lie knew it would not be taken if the superscription were in hid hand-writing, lie procured tonne other person to direct it, but the commits were written by loin. Ile there said— " You hard.hearted wretch, the moment I can get an op portunity, I will shake my whip over you. Yon are a cow ard, and as deformed in mind as in body. You have beau the ruin of my family, and, I suppose, of many others." Mr. Nlitchell swore, he believed, from this and other expressions, that the intention of Couolly was to provoke him to tight. Conolly after this wrote to Mr. Scott, the Solicitor of his wife, who had beau separsted I him, and expressed himself thus— " The Mitchell" are infamous wretches. I know their origin.
