It is a tediously-declaratory o, l —and, after the little success which attended ; is ',informative at Drury-lane theatre, we were ism.-ohat surprised to find it ',induced Isere. Mr. Nlseacanst appeared as Bajazet—a part without parletT—H part which, after the first scene, ceases In interest. The bias of Baja:ere mind is disclosed almost the moment he appears. He is a war _ ,:dr, without that noble elevation of mind whic warrior ought to possess—a lover, without the generous confidence which a lover ought to feel— in shirt, he is a thorough tyrant—and in the mind as here tyrannical principles take root, ito good or kindle feelings are ever known to prosper. Mr. I.I%CRF.ADY conceived this character justly--effil b". s wi ng was not less excellent than his conceit 'ion. The fiery, the ambit' , the hideously tin contrullahle spirit of Bajazet, were obvious in all his scenes. The bold determination of his instiller-- the fierce energy of his looks—the bitterness with which he uttered the reproaches of a wounded spirt. " fallen from its high estate"—all stumped hum a perfect Biejaret. There was, too, in all his tram', a scowling dignity—a fierce demeanour —the up-springings of an unbending spirit—the force and lire of a mind that disdained the iniaries of fortune, and rose superior to them. The character is, in itself. unamiable—hut Mr. &lac arany's animated performance almost led us to schlaire it. Applause was showered, not unsp tr ingly, on his exertions. The sober, philosophising Tamerlane was exceedingly well represented, by IVr. C. IliEster.E. There was, throughout, much dignity, and when the occasion demanded it, much animation in his performance. In the scene where Bajaut reproaches him with harbouring designs *gaunt the virtue of Arpasia, his mode of repel ling the accusation was uncommonly fine. Li this scene Mr. Alit:actin's efforts were truly great. The passionate observations which he stldreasttl to his conqueror were delivered with wonderful force and bitterness. This, indeed, was by far the best Katie in the play—for here Mr. KEMBLE and Mr. MACREADY exerted their best powers. Mr. AB sort was a good filmset —Mr. CON Noa's diullu merits a very favourable notice ; it was, in every rispect, a well-sustained character. Mrs. Bums, played the part of Arpasia with much feeling. Miss FuoTE, as ,S.'elima, delighted at once by the beauty of her appearance, and the soft and gentle manner in ohich she performed the character. On Monday night, st eleven o'clock, his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT arrived at Carlton !louse from Windsor.

Monday Robert Shorter, a vender of pamphlets in Wych strict, and Russell-court, Drury-lane, received notice (ruin the Crows-office, that two informations, ex.oorso, had been filed against him by Sir R. Gifford, his Majesty's Attunes. General. The first is for publishing Carbles Nos. 2 and 3 of Tke Repablieun, containing a libellous letter, ad dres.seA to the inhabitants of Manchester, in which the Magistrates of Manchester are charged with the crime of murder, &c. " and also containing a letter to his Royal High ness the Prince Regent, on his thanking the Magistrates sod Yeomanry of Manchester for the acts committed by them on the 16th of August last i" and also containing some blasphemous and impious matter, stating that every spe cies of religion is an imposition and fraud, practised by base and designing men on the credulous part of mankind, &c. Four er °Mei° informations have been also filed against Harris, vender of pamphlets, Broad-court, Long-acre, for publishing the works of Ciliate, containing similar obnoxi ous matter to that which we have above quoted. The par ties have each been d with a subpoena to appear in the Court of King's Beach, to plead to the several informatioas against them on Friday next. It is reported that similar informations ere preparing against several other renders. A Meeting of the Inhabitant Householders of St. James's and St. George's Parishes was held at Wri.us's Rooms on Monday night, the Hon. G. LAMB in the Chair, to take into consideration the increase of the rates exacted by the Water Com panics, when these rates were strongly censured as excessive, and Resolutions were passed for mist ing their payment, and forming a new Water Company. The High Sheriff of Berkshire having refused to comply with the requisition for calling a county meeting on the subject of the Manchester transac tions, the requisitionists have themselves called a meeting : it is u•oderstood thst Lord FOLKSTONII and Mr. C. F. PALMER will be present, and it is announced that the declarators intelid to rally and oppose the resolutions. Mr. C. SCOTT ■nd Mr. G. EDWARD DINSDALE, two of the Gentlemen whose names are subscribed to the Yorkshire Counter Declaration, have, in a letter to the Editor of The York Herold, declared their entire ignorance even of the existence of that document until made known to them through the medium of that ;taper, and detire that their 'tames be omitted in future. This circumstance may prove the extraordinary zeal, but not the candour of these furiously loyal Gentlemen, who seek to recommend themselves by misrepresenting the state of the pub lic mind in Yorkshire. Accounts, we understand, have been at length received of the expedition, consisting of the Ueda and Griper, now on a voyage of discovery to the North Pole. It had proceeded as far as the 86th degree of latitude, which is. we believe. as far as Captain Rum was able to penetrate. In B.iffin'il Bay they had fallen in with an immense mass of ice, which appeared to be formed upon a solid rock in the bay. The sea on the northern side of this limge ma., presented the singular appearance of a lake perfectly free from ice. Such of the native in habitants of those regions as they had met, did not appear to have ever seen or heard of the former expedition under Captain Ross. It seemed to be the opinion of the present voyagers, that there is no passage out of Baffin's Bay.

TUILSDAY, Nortstsca 9. • The LOlll3 CNA Ft Et.i.oft, some time after cowling into Court this mor g, said, he had not had time the night before to write the order he• intended making in the cave of the Attorney• General v.

But he meant to draw it up with his owis binds, and bring it into Court the following morn ing. at which nine he would give some explanation of the reasons on which it was to be grounded. 111:0%Y1E V. DE TAYTET. This wits rin appeal from a decree pronounced by the late Master of the Rolls. The Plaintiff, Mrs. Browne, was the daughter of a Mr. Antonio Malign), who had been engaged in trade, iii partnership with Mr. De Tomei, fur marry years previous to the year Ism. flaring been greatly advanced in life, he, in that year, re tired from the bu.iness, leaving his capital still vested in the house, and his signature to Mr. De Tastet. Subsequently, two Other persons, mimed Parier and Gielle►, were taken .iiito ' ,armrest's,' with Mr. De Tastet. Ist the year 1802, Mr. Mar gin returned to the establishment, and resumed •hare in the management of its affairs, in con•idera ttun thereof, contractitig with Mr. De Tastet " fi.r a moiety of his share." In 1803, he died, and his daughter and sole representative, the Plaintiff, filed a bill to compel Air. De Tastes alone to ac count to her for her fathees proportion of the capi tal in the house, 311.1 all the profits made thereon since his renewed connexion with it in ISO.I, up to the time of his decease. These were alleged to he about 70,0001. Au answer was rat in by the De. fenders', setting forth that Mr. Pari-r soil Mr. Grellet should have been made parties to the suit, as being partners in the firm. Accordingly the bill was amended, by introducing three as parties, arid souse other relatives of Mr. Margin, the necestity of which aro►e from sonic vague idea of Mrs. Browne's being an illegitimate child. The bill was heard before the Lite Master of the Rolls, who pronounced a decree against Mr. De Tastes, di recting him alone to account lon the capital and profile. Ott the hearing, no evidence whatever rip peered against Mr. Peeler. Against this decree the Defendant appealed. Yes terday the Appellant's Cou n sel were heard iu sup port of the appeal. They conterided that the de cree was colitrury to the facts of the case, to the evidence, and the rules of pleading and ptuctice of the Court. 1 t eas contrary to the facts, for it sup posed that Mr. Mangin had not bent a partner in the general, ordinary sense of the word, with De Tastet, Pavan', and Grellet, from the year IttOi till his death; whereas the amended bill, in its first allegation, spoke of the partnership us an ordinary one between the four person', and represented Mr. Mangin as a partner in the general affair* and con cerns-of the firm. lit contracting for a moiety of Mr. De Tsstet's share, Mr. Malign► had intended, and did in fact agree. to have one-fourth of the en tire profits, putting himself in the same condition with the other members of the firm, It was at va riance with the rules of pleading, her there was iio precedent for such a proceeding ; and it was not competent to the Master of the Bolls, when a party had in his bill preferred a complaint against et rtain persons by awn*, to suppress it wholly, as agatust certain of them, and say et was well-founded against one of them only. The Counsel for the Appellee not having been prepared, the further proceedings ware deferred till this morning, when The ATTORNEY-GEE ERA T. was heard on the side of the Appellee, and in support of the decree. He argued that the words " u moiety of his share" im ported a partnership in a share (Mr. Dr Tract's) of the concern, not it share in the partnership—mid these were quite different thing•. The cuirtract had been entered into between Mr. Marigin and Mr. De Tastet alone, and by it Mr. De Tastet had re argued a moiety of the profit* of his share to Mr. Mangin, daring the life of the latter ; but there was no privily of contract between him aid the other partners, they were straugers to the tran►ac tion. At the time Mr. Mangin had retired, Mr. De Tastet alone had any interest in the concern, afterwards for his own convenience, he took in the others ; but Mr. Mangin had nothing to do with them, and it was tome Defendant alone, he applied previous to joining the firm a second time. From these frets, it followed, that fin other decree than that appealed against could have been pronounced, and he was convinced his Lord►hip would feel him self bound to affirm it. Mr. Holm, Mr. WINTHORPE, and Mr. WAILS.. YIELD followed on the Name bide. Mr. WETHERELL replied. Ilia Lordship said lie would look over the papers in the cause, and say to-morrow morning when he should be able to give judgment. When the City procession reached Westminster Hall, his Lordship retired, and returned in a few iiiiiiiites, wearing a hat and other habiliments norne thirig richer than on ordinary occasions. In about Italian hour, during which his Lordship remained covered. The Recorder, the present and late Lord Mayor, Aldermen Wood, Smith, Thorp, and Cox, the two Sheriff's, and the Common Serjrant entered the Court. The first three advanced into the space below, rad the Recorder said :—" My Lord, the Lord Mayor and Sheriff Rothwell re quest the honour of your Lordship's company at dinner this day." His Lordship bowed amen!, and the deputation withdrew. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, To ESDAY, NOVIIMMIL 9. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THZ CORPORATION OF READING. This was an information by the Attorney-Gene. rat, on the relation of a Mr. Burke and others, against the Defendants, u trustees of certain cha ritable funds at Reading. Mr. PARKER, junior Counsel for the relator•, stated that their petition prayed fur en order + di recting the Defendants to produce the account. of the rents and profits, of the estate, and of the stun ner in which they hid been appropriated, in order that the entire funds might be disposed of, agree. ably to the intentions of the founder. Mr. HART, on the same side, said it was not ne cessary to go into the detail* of the case, in as touch as Mr. Bell, the Counsel for the Corporation, did brat tnean to girt any eippotition the.pesitiono— Two 'Oates, one of 501. • the other of 10/. anneal value at the time of the devise. hod been hit by the testator ' to be applied to specific charitable par. pews.

COURT OF LING'S BENCH, %Tumorro, NOILOIIItII 9. THE KING v. HOSILET WOOLF. Mr. Ctityrtr moved for leave to enlarge the re. turn of the writ of renditiowe expencts, on this cases to the ser•ond day of next Term. It must be re membered that when Moseley •Woolf ■nd some others were convicted of a conspiracy, the former was lined in 10,0001. to the use of the King. The writ was returnable this Term, hut the debt had not been satisfied, and it was now moved to enlarge the time, on the affidavits of some eminent auc tioneers, that as these effects were goods most in request in winter, their -value would be greatly depreciated, if the sale were to take place im mediately. The (..7111EY JUSTICE being satisfied that the affidavits averred no part of the tine bad been re ceived, granted • rule to chew cause. It was ordered, that the rule should be served upon the Defendant's solicitor, cud the solicitor for the Crown. TSB KING •. CARIALE. M►. Cartile, having given notice. obtained a rule on Monthly, to afford him an opportunity of •p -pesring in Court to move for a new trial. He pro cured a Judge'• order, directed to the Marshal of the King's Bench Prison, to be brought into Court to enable him to move for • rule nisi. This morn ing the tipstuff brought Mr. Carlyle into Court. He took his seat in the body of the Court, on the benches usually allotted to the Solicitors. The Solicitor-General having been called on by the Chief Justice, stated, that he understood Richard Cathie was in attendance, for the purpose of making some application to the Court. Chief Justice Assorr— , 4 What is the nature of the application?" Mr. Cathie then rose, and stated, that he ap peared to move for a rule to sheet cause why he should not have ■ new trial. His object was to set aside the verdict which had been obtained spinet him. Chief Justice ABBOTT, after consulting with his brother Judges, stated, that as the early business of the Teruo, consisting of applications for new trials, &c. was considerable, and its the period for transact ing such business was somewhat limited, and delayed by the variety of motions and certain ceremonies. the Court wished that this application should stand over fur a few days. This delay would greatly con venience the Court, as it was the anxious desire not to impede the usual business of the Term : and this postponement should not interfere with the interests of Mr. Cathie. Mr. Carlile appeal lug to be fearful that he might lose the right of moving for a new trial, as such motion, according to the general rule of the Court, ought to be made within the first four days of Term, looked at the papers which he held in his hand, and was about to say something, when Chief Justice ABBOTT repeated, that the short delay should not affect him ; he should stand in the same situation iu which he now did in point of time, and clue notice should be given of the day when the Court wished the application to be made. Mr. Cathie retired in the custody of the officer. CORNISH BOROUGHS. A rule aisi liarisig been obta i ned by Mr. Gaselee in a former term, for • quo toarranto to inquire into the constitution of the Borough of H-iston, in Cornwall. on the alleged ground of misuse and misapplication of the public finances, Mr. WARREN now showed cause against it. He said, he should refrain from troubling the Court with any of the circumstances of this case, as they were already in possession of them. This was the fourth time it had been before the Court, and it was nut immaterial to inquire who was the real applicant on this occasion. Sir Christopher Hawkins, in three different shapes, appeared in this business.— It was a little curious. that in affairs connected with the borough, not of individual grievance, but of public money, as the King was here the Prose cutor, the worthy Baronet, who was neither • burgess 110 f a householder, should he so prominent; wheat, however, it would he recollected, that his brother-in-law, Mr. C. T. Breretou, had failed in his elect . for the borough, and the Baronet's consequent threat that he would destroy the constitution of the borough, if he was inter fered with, it was plain he was the real applicant.— If their motives for this inquiry by the Crown into the constitution of the borough were as pure as they affected to be, namely, an ewer non of their rights as Burgesses, tin one would quarrel with them; but the Learned Counsel tru►ted when the Court saw it was dune through electioutering pique, they would not hastily consent to the issuing this infortuattoo. He hoped, therefore, their Lordships would dis charge the rule. Mr. GASELS:E supported the rule. He referred to the affidavits on which he had moved it, and in answer to the insinuation of Sir Christopher Haw krus's gratuitous interference, lie observed that the Court had made it incumbent on hem to make an• swer from time to time by affidavit. The CHIEF JUITICII asked, whether the Learned Counsel Inert ally passage in these affidavits that distinctly denied soy exprctatiuu of remuneration from Sir Christopher Hawkins ? Mr. GASEI.CE mid i that the deponents strongly denied they had had any remuneration from him. Toe COURT held, that this was not explicit enough, anal as there dal not appear sufficient grounds for the writ, they would out make them sclera parties to any electioneetirig !tole discharged.
