The author of this piece has depended for success, not ou variety of silos ton, smartness of repartee, or ingenuity of plot, hut on the strikirg cuotrast of the two principal male characters, and the laughable delineation of that most preposterous of all things, an amorous old woman, in the person of Mrs. Dido. The humour of the farce is of the broadest description—some times indeed it is tinctured with grossness and vul garity. There is, however. much to laugh st— and, if those occasional indelicacies to which we have alluded were expunged, we think Belford and Minton would afford considerable amuse ment. The ardent temper of Bounce, who is a moving thuinh-bottle of aqua fortis," was • . bly described by :Mr. TERRY—Nod the eating awl drinking propensmtes of Craw, one of that chits of lovers who would give up the linest girl in the world for the comforts of a good dittos., were placed in the most ludicrous light by Mr. LIsToN, who was. indeed, the Arias of the piece. Mrs. DAV EN PORT, as Mrs. Dido, acted with her wonted humour. The parts of Sparkle and Maria were well tat•l;iined by Mr. Bsuusau and Miss E. Bbancitsau. The piece met atilt considerable opposition in its progress, particularly during the perlormance of the second act. indeed, we think the opposiog party pliewed, in several instances. more spleen than judgment, a n d expressed diaapprobation where it was nut fairly deserved.

It will be recollected dust the Attorney-General, on the 6th instant, moved for an mjuncti 0000 to re. wain the Defendant from making and selluig any . goo locks made on the principle carried into effect by the Plaintiff, and for which hr had received a potent in the year 1807. On that occasion the Lord Chancellor directed the motion to stand over, to give the Plaintiff an opportunity of snaking au affidavit, whether the Defendant had any kolow. ledge of the action brought by the Plaintiff :against a Mr. Riviera for a klillolar breach of the po tent, and in which action he. the Plaintiff, hail oh toasted a verdict its the Court of King's Bench in the mouth of May last. The ATTORNEY-GENERA t. this dry stated, that the affidavit required by his Lordship had been made, which set forth, that the Defendant did not only know of the action brought against Ravarre and the result of it, hut had been present during the trial at law, wiring every assistsuce that lie pni• /.1 illy Could to liiviere. 1u reply to this affidavit, there liad been three filed, but they merely went to prove that the speediest to the PI was informal. lie would not comment no them, fur in fact they deserved none. He had there fore no doubt that his Lordship would grant the tojusactiou. Mr. HoatiLLY followed on the same side. Mr. Hoax E, Counsel for the Defendant, can. tended, that the Plaintiff was not entitled to relief, es the application to the Conn had been protracted unnecessarily. The Plaintiff llll4 iwrfeet know ledge that the Defendant was making and sellnig the locks complained of fur the last two years, sod he had not taken any steps to prevent it. lie would ask, if the Plaintiff thought that the verdict in the action at law Heim% Riviera was in his favour, and militated in the least against the Defendant, why he did not directly make an application to his Lordship for relief, after he had obtained that ver dict, if he thought his patent was fully established by it ? But the fact was, that the specification of the patent the Plaintiff had obtained was so little explanatory and so obscure, that it was impossible for any man to know what the pateut was granted for. Under those circumstances, he had no doubt but his Lordship would dismiss the motion with Costs. The LORD CIIANCEI.T.OR--" On the same prin ciple that I laid down it) the case of Harmer v. Lee, which was that there might be a specification to a patent so obscure and defective, that this Court could not iitterfere in the first instance. There was a case lately before me where there was n patent for drying malt by which a good brown colour was given to beer, or, in other words, made weak beer appear as strong. I certainly had some doubts as to the validity of the specification, and it went to a Court of Law, where it was decided that it was had, and there was an end of the patent. In the present case many objections have been taken to the specification of the potent, and perhaps proper ones, but it was more applicable that they should he argued and decided iii a Court of Law. After taking this case into full consideration, I will leave it tattle De fendant to do one of two things : —For him to un dertake to deliver every fortnight an account of all gulls. &c. which he may sell with the locks com plained of, and also of the profits arising from such sale until an action is tried at law. If he under takes to do this, I will grant a qualified injunction; if he does slot, I must grind a common injunction. 1 will give him uutil Monday to make his option." The Court was occupied stunt half-pact four o'clock in hearing bankrupt petition* of no *lowest except to the parties concerned, at which hour Ins Lordship rose. VICE.CHANCELLOICS COURT, laxaosois.lxv, FRIDAY, AUGUST 13. The Vicit-CH acatton did not come into Court this day till one o'clock. THE LADY DOWAGER BARONS'S, NEWBURGH C. TILE GUARDIANS OF LORD NEWIIUMGH AND THE HON. WYNN, MINORS. Mr. ROUPELL elided, that the objects of this petition had been two ; the first, however, that his Lordship would restrain the gisartliana of the infants boon reinovitig them to the Continent, had been rendered unnecessary, in consequeoce of a letter re ceived last night by the Solicitor of Lsdy Newburgh from the Solicitor for the guardians, a dvising him that all iiitentimi of that step had been a bandoned. The only remaining one was, that the busters of the late Lord Newburgh's estates might be direct ed by the Court to let the inatision-house railed the - Abbey to Lady Newburgh during the minority of the present Lout, at a reasonable resit, pursuant to the directions in the will of the deceased ; and that it might he referred teL the Master to deterinute what was a reasonable rent fur the same. Mr. Roupell then read the passage 111 question from the will, when — Sir A. litnnorr observed, that the testator, the late Lord. had hero teninit for life, and thetrfwe had out the power to make such a diepositiou of the house in question. Mr. ROUPEN. replied, that in strictness of law. he certimily hail not the power. but as hr had lied oilier estates of considerable value, which hr had a tight to dispose of as lie thought proper, and as he had devised these to his eldest sou, he Misted the Court would see it equitable and reasonable that that disposition for the beurfit of the widow should . be enforced. Lady Newburgh had not resided in this country for some• One ; she had married a Russian Nobleman some years ago, and of late resided on the Continent. but in her petition she alleged that she had come to this country to con tinue here permanently. and resolved so to do. Sir A. PIGGOTT, On the opposite side, said, that the moment it had been suggested to the guatiliatis, OW it was not proper they should take the infante ant of the kingdom, they had given top the idea. Tbe reuse's of their ititeuding, as they hart, to take Lord Newburgh and .his biother for the suurisiese months. o the Continent. was to facilitate the aca qtfisition of the Fretted language to them, an ob. ject su desirable to young persons cleitioed metre is di; stetitin ood:mo! , psrOco loaf tort he.eltlee. as • he sees new erventserie years of age; VVithirrypeet to 'whet was tenor Nought dy by toWirliatorlid it was ti thing the Iruiteeecolihf not • i'diteeo to hey. and 'which the'ettnei mit feel itsetf authorised in direct.

She lived abroad since. a n d be be lievetl she had children by the second marriage ; in her petition she alle:ged she was separaied truss her husband, but that dial tint appear. and he was at a loss to know whit was to prevent loins from coming over. mid living with her at this place, or any place where she might be, which would certainly be quite fee reign from •the intention or the testator ; that, it sat clear, being, that Lady Newburgh plumbd have the option of renting the snamion as long as she cootiourd • widow. In addition to what lie had stated, he was instructed to say, that Lard New. burgh would not live at the Abbey if his mother were allowed to reside there. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—" Is there any direc tion m the will that the children should reside at this house ?" Mr. ItOUPFLI. replied in the negative. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, he wished the Counsel would read to him any part of the will. if there was soy, which provided that the Abbey should be rented by Lady Newburgh only during her widowhood. Sir A. PIGGOTT intimated that there was not any such provis ~,,, . The Vics-CHANCELLOR said, that in this case it appeared to be beneficial to the infants that the house should he let to Lady Newburgh during the minority, at it reasonable rent ; for tk• trustees were !mond to keep the house, offices, end gardens in repair, doting the minority. and weer prohibited from letting them to any other person. If Lady Newburgh, then, did not get the mansion, it must remain it. their own hands--and the question came to this, whether the infants should get a rent from their mother, or nn rent ? Sir A. I'IGGOTT—" Considering the nature and objects of the will, it is necessarily to be inferred, that Lord Newburgh intended his witlow should be entitled to rent the house only during her widow. loud. It' it were otherwise. she might marry a tailor, a tinker, or any one hem the dregs of so ciety, bring him to this seat of a noble family, sud insist she had a right to keep hum there." The VICE-CHANCELLOR -I'B Does she receive any income f the trustees ?" Mr. HOUMA replied she did; 1,700/. a-year. The VICE•CHANCELLOR—" I shall then require of her to consent that the trustees shall have liberty to deduct from this income what the Master may determine to be a reasonable rent. Possibly she may nut take the house after his report. Refer it to thr Moister, to determine what is a reasonable rent for Lady Newburgh to pay during the minority of Lord Newburgh. iu respect of this house called the Abbey, and reserve the ether questions." BANKRUPT PETITION EX-PARTS sUTTON IN THE BATTU OF BRUNTON. This was a petition from the surviving assignees of the bankrupt, to compel Mr. Lowe, a solicitor, to give up certain proceedings under the commis 'ion, of which he was possessed as solicitor to the imam; and also that it might be referred to the Master to tax the bill of costs of the said Mr. Lowe up to the naming of the assignees, it having been taxed by the Commissioners, and paid three years ago, but amounting to 1141. 15s. 2d. with above 15/. for messengers' bills. Mr. Hose had mentioned the petition on a for mer day, on which occasion the Court appeared to be of opinion, that to refer the bill to the Master to be reviewed, after taxation by the Commissioners, would trench on the jurisdiction expressly assigned the latter by an Act of Geo. 11. but allowed the Counsel to bring forward the case again, after hav ing looked into the authorities. hh; Ron accordingly appeared again on behalf of the Petitioners, and cited a passage from a work of Mr. Christian. in support of the petition. and a case where a reference similar to that prayed for respecting the bill of costs. having among other matte's been referred to one of the Masters, he foe bore biting it, *tiding it as his reason that he did not conceive he had authority, and that it was the intention of the Lord Chancellor should do so— whereupon it was sent boa to him. with s particu lar injunction to review and tax it. The Vtte-CHANCELLOR here said, that he was confirmed in his former opinion by every thing which had fallen from Mr. Roses inasmuch as the present petition merely stated the amount of the bill. 1 1 211. 151. 2d. in a country commission up to a certain time ; that of a town commission being, it was said, about 501. and leaving it to be inferred front that that it was an exorbitant one, without alleging any specific overcharges in distinct items. Mr. Rose observed, it was impossible the Peti tioners. could do what was last merit ed, because ;dr. Lowe had constantly refused to furnish them with the hill, so that they were quite unacquainted with 'the items. The Vlcs:-CIIANCEI.I.Oit said, that that was a mostimportant fact ; mu ordisiary cases, it was es sential that the party should allege specific g ds of objection. hut the Court could not stop a party in the possuit of justice, became he had not done thin which he swore-here he had no possible errant of iltiing. Mr. -KOUPELL. on the opposite side. wished that liberty- should be given .to Mr. Lowe to put in nn affidavit. which, he said, would alter the view of the case. As to the proceeding', there was.no objection to giving them up. The VICIA:BANCELLOIL determined to confine his order to the proceedings. allowing Mr. Lowe to tile affidavit, stud reserving the remainder of the Cause till •then.

The Learned Counsel proceeded to examine the Insolvent, for the purpose of strewing that lie had obtained credit of Mr. Baxter by fraudulent means, hut the Insolvent denied that he had ever repre sented himself as being in any other situation than that in which he really was, namely. a countil foe bettor. He denied that be had ever said lie was heir to a large property. or married to a rich ward in Chancery. He was, is as a gentleman," quite in capable of any oneli duplicity. Richard Baxter, the creditor, was next cilled. He raid. that when the Insolvent hart contracted the debt with him, he represented him-elf as being a young man of rank end fortune, and said that hr was afraid of being arrested by the Lord Chan cellor. and therefore wished to live private, on me comet of his having lately married a ward in Chan eery, whose fortune was 15,000/. Ile also said • 101: hr was au expectant of 30,0001. on the death 01 his father in tire country. He further stated, that he would realise large fonds from the result of an a". Lion he had then pending with the Sheriff of Woe crater. His mintier and language was tl et 01 gentleman, and therefore he (the creditor) gave lion credit to the amount he mentioned, on the faith of the statements he had made. The Insolvent was re-examined by the Coot.. He denied the whole of the statenrente made hi the former witness. except that of having en actors pending against the Sheriff of Worcester, which las alleged was the fact. The COMMISSIONER—" Were you a S , ilicitoT practising in Warwickshire?"—A. " I was." Q. " Take care how you answer the question am about to put—Do you mean to .wrist that you have kept no hooks ?"—A. " I do." Q. " How then was it possible for you to keep your accounts ?"—A. " I kept menurraniliim• Atitt copies of hills of costs; iii that way I made out my accounts." Q. " Where are those copies ?"—A. " I did tint keep them idler the accounts were settled." Q. 'I Then you still swear you kept no book*, and wish me to believe that you were a practising attorney ?"—A. " I had an ection book." Q. " Where is it ?"—& ' It was only a pocket book, for loose memorandums." Mr. BARRY here produced as a witness, John Osborne. who said that be had been fur 3 considerable time clerk to the Insolvent , in this country, and had kept Ins books, which consisted of a ledger. an action book, and others, Such is a man in business made use of. When witness came to the Insolvent to town, in the spring, he bretsght these account books, and some law bootie, in sere large parcels with him, and left them at tile Soma with Two Necks, Lad-lane, where Insolvent rail up a hill, nod then quitted the loom The witness then complained, that though upwards of 301. was due to him by the Insolvent, he was only put down for 13/. in his schedule. Mr. POLLOCK, in behalf of the Insolvent, applied to the Court, to have the case postponed for the purpose of insertmg in the schedule these bookr, if they were forthcuming. but the Court refused to accede to the request, and dismissed the lusolverleir petition. Philip Smith was opposed by Mr. BASSETT, 0:1 the gromid of fraudulently contracting debt... Mr. PoLtoca; for the Insolvent, stated, that thA opposition could not be sustained, as it was "(in flected with the transactions of the present De fendant and Major Bailey, which had been elready before the Court, and in which the Major had been discharged. The fact was, the creditors had mdse. quently taken securities from these p.rtie, and therefore made the debts contract ones, which pre cluded them from reverting to the foundation of the particular debts. The Comm isstowee said, that where a person lad made his debt the subject of future contract, and accepted security, he certainly could not turn round and complain of the manner in which the debt had been originally contracted. The Insolvent underwent a long examination. He said that he had been paymaster of the 25th regiment of foot, but was now out of the Petrie. s and without half.pay. He was in prison since the ilf)th September 1818. He admitted that he teat s daring the years 1817 and 1018, contracted dents to the amount of between live and 6,onet.
