SURREY 77fE4iRi. U oder the auspices of Mr. T. Diorove, the active, ingenions, and, we must add, indefatigable proprietor of this house, a succession of novelties has been produced, which cannot fed of attracting visitors ftom every pa►t of the metropolis. Mr. DISDIN possesses the art, almost peculiar to him self, of extracting from shat may be termed the classic uoveliets of Great Britain, matter fit for scenic represeittatioo. He has already transferred to the sta g e, wish great effect, GoLosstlTlt'S Vicar of Wakejleid—V iat.oina's Tom Jests—and SllOl.- curr's Peregrine Pickle. The dramas founded on those popular novel* had a very great run last sea son.—and, indeed, so completely was the spirit of the different characters preserved,: that, when we skived these exhibitions, we saw, as it were, living and moving before us, the identical beings whom the asthma had so well pourtrayed in their works.

We lost night wituessed its repreeantation with great pleasure. The incidents are well arranged—the peculiar traits which dis tinguish each character, in the original, are strictly adhered to in the drama—the matter introduced is perfrcily geru►ane with the ground-work of the hairietia—and the parts are generally supported in a very effective manner. The rustic simplicity of Him phry Clinker is pou►trayed, with much strength and fidelity, by Mr. IFlTzwtt.t.triu. Mr. GATTI B is a pleasant representative of honest Mathew Bramble —the prototype of that numerous sect, the " Grum bling Philosophers." Mr. SMITH is a good Lima- Argo in ■ppearaince—but he does not enter fully into the feelings of the metaphysical Scotsman. He should be more grave. The disputatious Liansaliago is very far removed from the loquacious 011apod. Mrs. BROOKES. as that "starch'd piece of antiquated vir ginity," Tabitha Bramble, amused us exceedrugly. Winny Jenkins could not have found a prettier or a more pleasing representative than Mrs. things. No Welsh girl ever displayed more liveliness and fire. The barlefia was received with every mark of appro bation. The pantomimic romance of The Black Banner, and the nielo-dramatic burletta of The Dyke and she Devil, which were comprised in the entertainments of the evening, are very pleasing, and went off extremely well. A yeoman at the Devon election being esker], after taking the malt, the usual question of " For whom do you vote ?" replied, " For Sir Samuel.

Extract of a letter from Barnard Castle, in the County of Durham, dated Monday, July 6 : " "'Marley we bad as extraordinary scene here. Mr. Lathan, our popular sad truly independent Member, who had gone over the week before to assist his friend, Mr. Brougham, in his great contest in Westmorland, and had afterwards accompanied that Gentleman to his bowie, was returning • frum thence, with Mr. 8., Lord Molyneux, and some other friends, on their way to Leighton, when they were met by an immense concourse of our people—who, in spite of all entreaties, insisted on drawing them into mad oat or the town; and testified every degree or warm attachment to their worthy Representative, and of lively interest in Mr. Brougham's cauee—justly considering, that the independence of their Westmorland neighbours is closely connected with their own.

On Tuesday sennight a singular investigation took place before the Rev. Wu. WooD, a Magis- trate, which ended in the final committal of Mr. Jobs Seim/es. a spirit-merchant of Wakefield, to take his trial at the ensuing York Assizes. The circumstances of the cue were these :—More than a year ago. for the mutual accommodation of him self and Mr. Olivaint, of Wakefield, Scholes drew a bill, payable in London, to the order of Olivant. When the bill became due, Olivant gave the money necessary to take up the hill to his friend Scholes, by whom a letter was written, for the purpose of enclosing it to London. The letter was sent, and arrived 111 due course, hut without the necessary enclosure. This caused mooch surprise and some investigation ; but though the lost bill was in some pert traced. it could not then be brought home to &tholes. A few days ago a clue was accidentally afforded to the developrotent of the whole business, by a con tint. between Scholes and a bankrupt, who had just appeared before the Commissioners to undergo his esanniustion, part of which was over heard. This was followed up, and the payment of this bill by Scholes, the day after it ought to have been reunited to town, has been clearly established, though Scholes had, at the time of the previous in vestigation. made an affidavit that he absolutely earl/wed the bill in the letter he seat to town. On these circumstances he is committed for trial.

The account of the race is as follows I. , idlow was quickly under way, and took the lead for a *init. but the wind (northerly) blowing strong and squally, enabled the larger boats to overpower her, and the Mermaid, in shooting through tbe Waterloo Bridge, was, by the dexte. rity of her crew in repairiug the confusion .ittendant 1.11 lowering fur the arch, placed in the foremost atatmai, which she kept darin; the whole of the contest, after having at our time been close pressed by the Waterloo, which host, in Chelsea Reach, had, by a favourable tuff of wind, ensue ap close under the Mermaid's quarter. From that moment the match became particularly interesting to the spectators. It was concluded at Cumberland Gardens, by the Mermaid arriving first boat at the goal, theWaterl•o one minute astern, and the Ludlow, fix. at equal distance*. The whole dis tance from Blackfriars to Putney and hack to the Gardens having been performed in the short space of ninety minutes.

This Was an action brought to recover the slim of 8001. on a policy of insurance effected on the Alalawn cutter fur a voyage from Trieste to Teaki and back—the vessel beftwe her return to the former port tieing rendered, by accident, unserviceable and useless. It appeared Ir he evidence, that the Plaintiff, who resides at V Is, received a letter from Trieste in November. Nth, dated the pith October, acq g him ilidt the Atedanla would sail two days after (-48th) flout that port, a ills a cargo for Tettki. being to touch at Corfu, and to return with a cargo to the same place with all cosi venient dispoteli—and directing hunt to insure her instantly during the interval. The Plaintiff did not do so, but delayed till the -29th January fol lowing, when he applied to the resideut agent at Varnsauth, of Memos. Jackson and Andrews, slop brokers, of London, who, after communicating with his principal*, executed the policy on the 3.1 Feb. with the name of M. Bunting, lerwriter. The vessel performed thevoyage to Corfu, but is. returning shipped a sea off Venice, wat tilled with water, and the whole crew !writhed except a sailor and a boy. She was afterwards brought into the port of Venice, but was in a condition totally unlit fur service. The action was brought to recover the sum fur which she had been insured. It was contended on the part of the Defendant, that the delay of the Plaintiff in effecting the po licy till beyond the time when lie should have heard of the safe return of the vessel. if am accident had happened, and his perfect silence with re►pect to the contents of the letter before referred to, in dicated en apprehension that some modortinie had happened her, and a fraudulent intention in aup preaiiing that apprehension, and the restful ou which it wits folllllied, from the agent of 11r*sr►. Jackson and Andrews. The agent proved he had htard nothing of the letter ; and a captain of merchant vessel stated, that the usual time of per forming the voyage was six or seven week•, a por tion of time much less than the interval between the 28th of October and the 29th of January. The Jury, without leaving the box, returned verdict of 'sunsuit against the Plaintiff. RANDALL and RANDALL N. GRAY. This war tin action brought to recover money Tent by the Plaintiff* to the Defendant, and paid for their use. Mr. SCARLETT, for the Plaintiffs, stated the cir commences of the case, as follows Clarke had been in business by himself previously to June 1813. • In that month Mr. Gray, a gentleman who then and subsequently resided at Cheltenham, en tered into * partnership with him ; and in the Sep tember following, a deed of partnership was exe cuted between them, by which it was stipulated that Mr. Gray should pay ten tl sapid pounds as his part of the capital, within a month, mid Mr. Clarke ten thousand before the rod of December. fu the interval, the business was to be carried on under the name of Clarke only, rod ou paydweit of the latter sum, Mr. Gray was to have his option whether his name should appear as one of the firm. Mr. Clarke used to have considerable dealing in acconnuodatiost bills, amid continued it ether the contract of partnership was executed. On the 511 i Niarch, 1814, he (Clarke) drew two such bilis, at two months, on the house of Randall, new for SLIB/. the other for 478/. Se. 6.1. which they accepted, and were obliged to pay. Before the end of May, a commission of bankruptcy was issued ageless' Chas ke, but he had previously made an assignment of the whole stock in trade to Gray, who refused in pay the hills, on the gr 1 that he was mint that the bills had not 1. u drawn for the accoininn. dation of the house, his flamers a pm-ester Hot being known, but for the accommodation of Clarke only. Oa the part of the Plaintiffs it was proved, that Clarke, when applied to for inquired of the bills, stated that they had been applied toffee partnership account ; that he directed all application for pig ment to Mr. Gray, who, he said, perfectly well knew that they had been so applied ; that the prorirrty assigned to Mr. Gray exceeded in value fifty thou sand pounds, and that at the time of the 10111.4 ttttt rot the concern was Perfectly solvent ; that Mr. Gray would pay the whole of the debts out of the fowl* of the house ; that one of the hills had been paid for wool, on account of the house, to Mows. Jar min and Lacy, and the other discounted at the Bank of England. Mr. MARRY ATT. on behalf of the Defeiedstits, said, that Mr. Clarke lied drawn the bills 11114511 per. sons entire strangers to Mr. Gray, fur his own pri vate accommodation. The Wore bad been to bad circunistauces long before Mr. Gray was induced to enter into the partnership. which fact was con cealed from him. Clarke postponed coot' Ily the making up or produc►ng his sect:outs. to shrw that he had invested the ten tl►nnaand pounds, to which he was bound by the contract, and when Mr. Gray became importunate, and caused a gentleman to call on h►m for a definitive answer. he then pro. cured these bills, among others. for the purpose of ►hewing that he had contributed his share of the capital. It would be contrary to reason and law (the Learned Counsel argued) to make one partner l►able for money borrowed by another, to create a fund aheolutrly necessary fur the forrnatio►► of the partnership. It was 111-e dna one of the bills was pa►d for wool. All that Mr. Clarke said, with a slew to implicate Mr. Gray, was unfo►►nded and untrue. Before the end of May, Clarke wild gazetted as a bankrupt. Ile would slice, that by • .•. • . Clarke's always keeping the hoo i as. and Mr Gm) . * ✓esoling at Cheltenham, the latter was in cool- I'lete ignorance of the transaction of flee bulls; an d that fur the purposo of coneeeling from him that they were bulls tor the ace latimi br Clarke, neither of them haul passed throttgli the bawd- of the regular itisconoter.

But it war, on the other band, ad mitted, that when Mt. Gray took the assignment, the debts of the lonise, good and had, might menotilitlto3Cooo/., liesieles stock in Itaml to n large momenta ; and t h at acute of the debts incurred he Clarke ist building had been proved against 1114 separate estate ; and that in Ii 14 the Moose or Randall would loot give credit to Clarke alone.

The may question, therefore. for the Jury war, whether the bills had berm accepted and the money paid by the Planned's to the tate of the house of Clarke and Gray, or the use of Clarke only.
