The experiment of keeping open this house, during the winter, is tkrle to he atteinded with complete success. The audience was last night extremely numerous, and the enteetainmentagave general satisfaction. The sotto-dramatic spectacle of The Cape of Good Hope possesses more interest than we generally find in trifles of that species. Mr. W. Ilanuir "torte, the author of the piece, evinces a greater sh3re of mind than is generally displayed by those who 'ripply what are termed the minor theatres with entertainments. In the present drama. the character of Zonnii, the Coffee Chief, is drawn with considersble strength. It was well played by Mr. 11. EMILE. The part of Buntline, an honest tar, is very spirited—and found an excellent re. prrseistati.e m Mr. SLADER.

It is an interesting piece, and Wl9 ex.remely well received. hi the course of the evening Mr. W. DAVIS sinn.ed the audience with some admirable 'goes tmin eshibitions--and the bold vaulting of Mr. B3ows was honoured with repeated plaudits. The house is very beautifully fitted up. Its ass. pesrance is extremely light and brilliant. The eietwtelier is remarkably handssime—and a range of Patent Moot Lustre:, so front of the second tier of burs, sheds a soft and silvery light over that pert of t he house. The scenery is of the most beautiful description—end the music 61 the new pieces, by Mr. NictioLsox. is highly creditable to his talent.. CAPdTRRBURY THEATRE. The performance at our Theatre on Friday last, for the benefit of a distressed family, was most respectably attended, but we were concerned to oh. that the house was not crowded. lit Toms's excellent comedy of The Honey Moon, the charac ters of The Duke. Rolando, and Jaques, were ad mirably delineated by RI/BUT FOOTE, Esq. Cap tain STUART, and Major HART. and the other cha. towers, taken by Gentlemen Amateurs, were well suevorted. Mrs. EDWIN, of the Theatre-Royal, [burr-lane, acted the character of Jeliana, with elan chasteness and excellence which : elm* all *c essions distinguish tins deserving favourite of the public; the other female characters were sustained by Mrs. Luxe, Miss WELLS, anti Miss RUSSELL,. and the play altogether went off exceedingly well.— The laughable farce of Three Weeks oiler Mar riage followed, the performance of which drew forth repeated plaudits.. A prologue appropriate to the occa►ion was spoken hy Captain STUART. and an epilogue by Major HART. We were gratified to low it announced to the audience, that Nlr. Dow- TON ve►y handsomely gave the use of the Theatre; nod that Mr.. St—RUSTON, the manager of Drury lane Theatre, bad humanely forwarded a donation of five pounds, in aid of the fund created by the Gentlemen Amateurs by their benevolent maims for the distressed family. Whether the Princess or WALES intend. to re. turn to England or not, it is certain that lire Royal Highness ilea given orders In hove the apartments in Kensington Palace prepartd fur her reception.— Erening Paper.)

This was an argument on demurrer. The ("tics. firm of law to he determined was, whether, under the statute 49 Geo. 111, chap. 121, the surety in SG annuity deed (the PlastitlY), where the annuity has been redeemed by the surety agreeably to a clause in the deed, afire the grantor (the Defendant) had become bankrupt, may maintain all action to re cover the value from the bankrupt upon a bond of indemnity, notwithstanding the grantee has proved the value 'marr the cominisaion—or whether he is barred from RI doing by the bankrupt's certificate. Mr. Ti ALL. fur the Plaintiff, argued that the certificate did not protect the Defendant from the action ; for in that case the surety would he left by the law without remedy, iva•much as the value which lie had been obliged to pay was not prov able under the commission, not having been then legal debt, being in its nature uncertain, and de pending on a covenant, and the amount not a•cer. trifled. lie cited Welsh against Welsh and an other, 4 Alan! and Selwyn. 333, as completely bear ing out his view of the present case. In that case the Plaintiff had been surety for the Defendants in an annuity deed, and afterwards the Defendants be came bankrupts, and obtained their certificate, and the Plaintiff, after the allowance of the certificate, was conspelled by the annuity creditor to pay se veral sums for the arrears of the annuity due after the issuing of the commission ; to recover which he brought an action, and held the Defeuduitts to bail ; and upon a rule nisi fur discharging the De fendants on common bail, on the ground of their certificate, being argued, and cause shewn for and against in the Court of King's Bench, Lord Ellen borough said, " The surety cannot compel the an nuity creditor to come in and prove, and it is not a debt gnaw' the ►urety until he is in a condition to be damnified by it. If the Legislature intended such a case as this, they have not said so, nor have they used any language to enable us to say ;" and the rule was discharged. Mr. Li TTLEDA I.E, on the other side, contended, that the surety was barred by the bankrupt's certifi cate. and sections 8 sod 17 of the Act referred to; for though the value of the annuity was not a legal debt, on which an issleloiredis assompsit would lie at the time of issuing the commission. yet it was a debt in the ordinary acceptation of the term, and within the contemplation of the statutes of bank ruptcys and the surety might have proved under the emassiosioss, since the value might have been ascertained by the Commissioners. He maintained that the stat. 3 Geo. 11. c. 30. sec. g 2, which al lowed the holders of bills and notes, and other Sc. cavities, for the payment of money, to prove the same under a commisvion before they became due, extended to the agreement between the Plaintiff and Defendant. He submitted that the Act had been intended for the benefit of bankrupts, and ought to receive • liberal construction. Mr. 1 INDAI.L. in reply, 'aid, that hills and notes were legal debts, being defined debita in praseiti, solocnda in fieturo; and theyefore the apology failed. He admitted there was a difficulty in the Act : but the solution of it was, that the Legislature had not gone far enough. In sup port of this position be quoted •judginent delivered by one of the Judges in the Court of Common Pleas, in which it was said that " the Act was very defective." The CHIC!' JUSTICE said. that the Court would consider before giving judgment. LITERARY DISCOVERY. There has been discovered, in the Amlwosian Library at Milan, a manuscript copy of the Iliad of #lioner, which has singularly attracted the attention of thet, learned; first, for its antiquity, which appears to border on the fourth cen tury: and by sixty pictures in it, equally ancient. We know that the first manuscript, upon which all the editions of Homer have been founded, is posterior to the tenth century ; the newly-discovered one bears a text more ancient by about six ages. The characters are square ca pitals, u•cordiog to the usage of the best ages, without dis tinction of words, without accents or the aspirates; that is to say, without any sign of the modern Greek orthography. The pictures are opus vellum, and ►ep►esent the principal circumstances mentioned in the Iliad. These pictures being antique and rare, copies of them bare been engraved with the greatest exactness. They are not perfect in the exe cution ; hut they possess a certain degree of merit ; fur they arc curious, inasmuch as they present exact representation of the vestments, the furniture, the usages, the edifices, the arms, the vessels, the sacrifices, the games, the banquets, and the trades of the time, with the precise characters of the gods and heroes, and other infallible and numerous _ . marks of their isatiquily. M. Angelo Mem, a Professor at the Mob/mien College, has rallied the manuscript to he printed in one volume, with the engravings from the pictum, and. the numerous scholia attached to the manuscript.

SMOCKING OCCURBENCR. The following shameful transaction took: place lately at Wellinglito ouch, in Northamptonshire:—Three joist ney. men shoemaker, in that town, for some trifling oft. io e which a boy, named Chamberlain, had committed, set tip t mock tribunal for the purpose of trying hint. • One u( theto arm appointed judge, and after the mockery of trial lus.i bees gone through, he proceeded to pan sentence on prior boy—." That he should be. put head-fortunes, list.• t sack, and kept there halt an hour."—Proccediug to putt the sentence into execution, they limbed the boy's. i g, titi she ground, and cut him dreadfully. Unfit 'tely the sack contained a quantity of bran, which Ca UM A Coroner's inquest sat upon the body; an amen hours' deliberation, they brought in a veiclict u tActt• DZSTAL DEATH. e. A Pr AA" HOW TO ASCERTAIN " REAL SHARE OF TAXI'S • , , EACH MAN PAYS T GOVERNMENT IN EVERY ♦RTICLE OF FOOD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. Stn—At a time when so many observations ire made foe and ageism taxation, it may not be considered Improper to ende In ascertain the seal q • N of.tax tested on each individual. As there is hardly any thing whirls is em ployed as sustenance by the great human family, hitt what generally more than doubled in price to the consumer by taxation, at becomes every man, colonially chose who have large families, to know what share or the hurden cf taxation they are compelled to bear, and from which thew can be no exemption. Those who are in favour of taxation, may, if they are able, bring forth propositions in its recommendation, even niche proselytes by their doctrine among people of pi. - pert), but how they srlll satisfy Ili.amnt who pays fur ei article of food out of the money which he tarns by ill • " sweat of his brow," I am at a loss to conjecture. But as there are but few who can possibly hive 'the hardi hood to presume that taxation is a -seem:try tiibior of a free people, any overwhelming torrent.against viduals who not only think, but also say, that taxation.. the greatest 'ANS of ♦wv country," can hardly be expected When synchronism such as it appears to exist at this cri.o, —when ambition supported by preperty—wlten•one psi; y combines to overrule or upset all others-i-wben men's pl'.. sinus and interests are set. afloat by impolitic sycophat ts-- the industrious and honest man might alwost•wiab for tinom times in which nature reigned absolute, even 11111,11(h hr were compelled to live a complete troglodyte, with Out the Liana mels of art in all its gaudy splendour. As the vital powers of a patient may suffer so rnsterialry by his doctor administering a superporgation, or from recess of phlebotomy, that he will no longer be able -even to re. crime medicine of the mildest kind, so may the ihdesitrions matt, with all his labour, tie so overpowered with unnecessery and unequal taxation, that he will at last became unable to pay any tax at all. The same may be said of a hat ion, when once its reatinrces are expended beyond a certain and proper limitation, the consequence, of course, will be " national bankruptcy." Each man's quota of tax could easily be marinated by his obtainiag torrert information of the dife►tuf venders nf articles of food with whom hs deals, saw eitto individual article is charged to him independent of the tax upon it, then he would perceive at once what be must lay down for the tax ; and thus by paying for the article itself, and the tax upon it separately, he might be able not only to know what be pays daily, bat also to the greatest correctness what his yearly amount of taxes are. New by this mode of proceedieg every.lebouring man has it in his power also to ascertain what qsaetity of labour be performs to support the national debt avid the different offices established by Governmeut,.asd•other hissi burden r which are forced npon him, and which he is obliged to hear to the very utmost of his ahility. Aecordiatiou this plan the prupuition of taxation levied gook! be brou;ht to a Kremer certainty than bas hitherto been the case ; and it would be readity.alloised by all, that the poor min (I mean the man who lives by his labour) subscribes more money in taxes, in proportion to his income, than the gre•tert land holder in the British dominions. Were the great Isodbuldere mul great stockholders to pay dilly in the samegioportion to their property as the labouring mass dens to be., glut ita toonal debt might be completely liquidated its the coarse of eighties ur twenty years.
