A new. houshaiiic interlude woo last nliti *o ilseed at this Theatte. It is entitled Doctor Bolas. and is evirf D eutly,tlie work of the Gentleme n , .by whom the rury-lane Managers were favoured with the comic extravaganza of 44 Amore" Zing of Little Britain." It is, like the piece just named, parody aro:ighest, without object or application. SHAILsPEARE, OTWAV. and Las—O'Kagra, and i host of song-writers--are parodied without mercy, and without wit. The hero of the piece, Mr. HARII.IIY, is a sort of Hawk —his Queen, Miss Ktit.t.i, • species of Opkelio. The former is enamoured of one of the Melds of Honour, personated by Miss I. STantamsom—the lat ter is attached to General Searoxelaseho, a cha racter supported by Mr. W. S. Cuarraat.atr. The General rebels against his Sovereign—is taken prisoner and assassinated by the enraged Monarch. The Queea, and ell the drank/ifs personae, except Dr. Bolat, rally; xecondues Mem, in turn—but the worthy Doeiiir, by a tomb of hie metallic tractam, restores them to life—and. the piece con cliitrei wit!) a song and dance.. When The Re hear*, eti‘k Ara later period, when other bur league . pieces were represented on the English stage; they were introduced for the purpose of reforming, by a satirical infliction, the barbarous taste which prevailed at the time. No such ex cuse can he made fur the production of Doctor Bolas—which we look upon es a pill -64 Bitter to wallow, ad hard of digestion." The attempt to tun► into ridicule such a character as Ophelia, " the good, the gentle, the generous, the pious," argues a want of taste, not to be found amongst those who read, understand, and conse quently adri►ire SHAIISPEARN. There is little in the piece to laugh at, if we except Mr. HAELNY'S wig, and Miss KELLY'S gown ; but there is much to condemn. Such an expression as " blow me tight" (this is but one taken at random from a num ber), though it inay please the lowest of the vulgar, ought not to be suffered to disgust the ears of the more refined part of an auditory. If the author have any talent for the true burlesque, which we much doubt, the recent Elect►ons afford him an admirable opportunity for a dis play of it. Let him, if he please, tutu Lord CASTLEREAGH's or Mr. CANNING'S speeches into rhyme—let him Introduce their supporters, chaunting forth hymns in praise of their wisdom and virtue, taken from the poems of M r. SOUTHRY— but, let him not. by humourless parodies of SHAW. smuts, convict Mandl' of an utter perversion of mind—of a complete obliquity of understanding. The performers did their utmost to support the piece, and they were successful. IN some instances, we think, they did more than they had a right to do. We here allude to the imitations that were in troduced, particularly that of Miss O'Nett.t. by Miss KELLY. Min O'NEILL ought not to be dragged forward, at second-baud, iu such a farrago as this. Upwards of fifty beautiful Roman urns have beets accidentally discovered within the last few days. in a field belonging to the Marquis CORN., WILLIS, near Rye, iu Suffolk. From the great length of time they have been deposited in the earth, the workmen experience much difficulty in getting them out entire.

The latter is situated to the westward of the only landing place on the island. about three or foul mile, in the interior. The only access to it is a winding way up the buitier-hill. at the top of which is it strong battery; The accounts state that it was considered by every perton not only the most pleasant residence on the island, but that all chance of escape was rendered impossible, as any prison ap proaching could be seen at a distance ; and as there was only one path, a few sentinels would he su f f i cient for the purpose Of guarding it.

THE RIGHT OP COMMISSIONERS OF BANKRUPTS TO COMMIT BANKRUPTS TO PRISON. cloin.Er, is the matter of CROWLEY. a Bankrupt. It will be recollected that Sir SAMUEL Roast Lt.ir moved that the Bankrupt should he discharged out of ctistody, he being committed by the Cow. missioners for not having answered certain goes tions, aud that the Bankrupt ass brought up under a writ of Habeas cnrpos. Mr. Rose. on that oc casion. took an objection to the right of the Loan CHANCELLOR'S granting stsch a writ in vacation and particularly after the Bankrupt had al lowed two Terms to elapse after his committal be. fore he applied to the Court, and stated the case of Jenks, as decided by Lord Nottingham, as con clusive on the subject. This objection having been argued most ably at the Bar, the LORD CHAN CELLOR on Monday gave his judgment, which we reported yesterday, and decided against the objection. Mr. ROSE this day stated, that he appeared as Counsel fo► one of the Commissioners of Bank• runts, as the other two were out of town, and that his client was ready to submit to any jtidgment his Lordship might think proper to give, at the same time he was requested to mention to his Lordship that the Bankrupt had brought two actions against the Commissioners for false imprisonment, and that the Judge who presided had directed the Plain tiff to be nonsuited. lie had only to suggest that during the remainder of his life lie would take pride to himself for having agitated that case of Jenks, as he had drawn forth that adin;rall le deci sion of his Lordship's, which would put that climb tion for ever at rest. The LORD CRAIICILLOR" In respect to what may have been the conduct of the Baukrupt and the creditors. I have nothing to do with it. The Bankrupt is brought before me by virtue of r writ of limbers Corpus, and my duty is to se.: whether the Commissioners' warrant nf committal is insuf ficient either its form or substance, and if it is only insufficient in form, by the Act of the Sth of George IL, I am empowered to amend and correct it. I cannot travel out of the warrant of com mittal, for the principle is held here precisely the same as in the Courts of Lim. It appears that there was a great deal of examination of the Book rapt before the Commissioners committed him. In respect to the Commissioners knowing aI i that passed on those examinations, it is impossible that their minds should not be influenced by them at the time of the committal. It is certain that by the old law the Commissioners could not commit a Bankrupt if he did not prevaricate. and guve a answer ; but by the new law it is left to the Lord Chancellor to decide whether the answer is of • nature that the ought to commit. I have read the warrant of committal repeatedly, and I cannot help believing that the Commissioners were influenced by what had passed on former cites minations of the Bankrupt ; but as I said before, it was impossible that men should be otherwise. Ou the 4th of June, when the Bankrupt appeared before the Commissioners, and was asked for a vtatemet►t of his accounts, he said he had none, and begged that the examination might be postponed, and gave an undertaking that he would on the Thursday following render an account to Ins assignees, which he did not do ; and on the 14th of June he again appeared to be examined before the commissioners. They asked him again fur his account, and he answered that he was not able to make out one, as his books and papers were in possession of a person of the name of Hamilton, re siding in the London-road, who refused to give them up. On his last examination, and the one on which he was committted, the Commissioners put the following question Have you any account now to deliver, or any further reason to adduce why you have not produced it ?--A. I have no account, and I have no further reason to advance, except that I hove presented two Petitions to the Lord Chancellor, which are now peuding, to set aside the commission : at the sometime, I am ready to answer any questions th.►t you (the Comteissio►r en) may think proper to put to me.' It was then, on this last examination, the Bankrupt was committed. It is obvious to me that it might strike the minds of the Commissioners, that nut one word of what he said relative to Hamilton's detaining his books was true ; and this appears from the affidavit of their messenger, who was sent to serve a summons on Hamilton to appear be fore the Commissioners, who sets forth that be could not find him to serve it personally, but on his solic it% a woman iu thti house whether she had told lain he had been there, she informed hint that she lied, and that Hamilton said he knew his business, but it was of no consequence, as the whole proceedings were illegal. I cannot withdraw what 1 said to Mr. Cullen, that it is a settled rule in bankruptcy, where a question is put to the Bankrupt by the Commissioners, embodying an answer which he had given before, and does not ob ject to it, that it ad. mita what he stated before. There is a point which Mr. Cullen holds the Commissioners have not the right to do, that is, to put questions to other per. Pons relative to the conduct of the Bankrupt. Let it be understood that this is a point which I give nu opinion on. But if the Comm's:rimier& In this rase had not the right, they have done it; and it does not appear that the imbalance of that information had been represented faithfully to the Bankrupt. When a Bankrupt is brought before me, by virtue of a writ of Habeas Corpus, it is not for toe to take into my consideration what were the tholights of the Com missioners, but what they ought to have thought. Mt opinion is, that the warrant of Commits, is in sufficient in this respect ; that it refers to deposi tions which I cannot call for. There can be no doubt but the Commissioners meant ettrelnely welt My opinion then is, that the warrant of Com mital is not :utrtc•iet►t iu substioce ; if It wan truly s .• deficient ifi form I mild set it right, but %%here it is in ►ub.lance, I cannot. This is one of the Erect hardships that presses on • Judge, for lie has no thing but his own opinion to guide I • . I re • col lect s case where Lord Chief . .. Justice De 'Gray and •liis brethren said, that the evidence was.iinist anise factory ; and in the same case Lord Kenyon and his brethren declared it, was most uosatisfactury. So with we, some other person sitting where I now do, may say I have been. wrong ; I hive, however, come to the best conclusion I can. Let the Bank runt be discharged from the citmody of tile so far as he been committed by theCurituissiouers." Bankrupt discharged. OPEP.A.HOUSE. WATERS r. TAYLOR. . Mr. HART, yesterday, just as the Court was rising/, moved, that ;111 order made by his Honour the Vice-Chaticellot on the 4d of July, might be di.chaxged-.-(See slur Puper of the thd o(July fur Al report of it).—The order of his Honour was, that the Plaintiff should pay into Conti the sum of tl,OOO/. as the purchaser of the Opciii-house, which the Mister had allowed to . f!im as victim butlers on the Opera-house. Excahoions were taken to the Master's report, and on these being argued before his Honour, he untitled them, stating, at the same time, that lie Only considered the seta as matter of account between Mr. Waters and Mr. Taylor and mi an application shade to him, he ordered the Mufti to be paid into Court by Mr. Wa ters. The Learned Counsel contended, tliat the order of his Honour was wroug, and contrary to a decision which had been given by his Lordship, and on which account it ought to be set aside. Mr. Bud., oh the some side this day, that he did nut thiderstand the case, perhaps, as fully as some of the Learned Gentlemen engaged in it, as his first appearance in the rase of the Opera-house was on the exceptions being. argued before his Honour. But us tar Ns he understood the case, the exceptions to the Master'. report were a ll owe d, ,in the ground that the sums claithrd to be deducted out of the piirchase money of Mr'. Widens were not encumbrances on the Opera house, as there was no particular deed of Mortgage. Then the question war, that the purcha.r money ' b oo m b e paid in, and these charges not allowed as ei cumbrances, but us u partilership account. There were stains of money paid properly for car rying on the busioess iif the Opeia-liuu-e, which Mr. iVuters wo obliged to pay as the representa tive of Mr. Gould. Mr. BARBER followed on the same side. Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY. Counsel far Mr. Taylor, observed, that if his Honour the Vice-Chancellor was wrong in his decision, it was certainly a great limidship on him, for the line of argument before him was quite different from what the Learned Counsel bad used on the present occasion ; at the same time, he was at a loss to find any . thing that would shake that decision. His Lordship would re collect, that Mr. Waters purchased the Opera house, in the first instance, fur 39,0001. and Mr. Taylor had the good fortune to open the sale again, when the terms were, that the purchase money wet to be paid into Court in two months. On that oc casion Mr. %%raters hid upward• of 30,000/. more,. althoUgh he held out to the Court that his first bidding was as much as could be obtained for it, yet he .became the purchaser at a sour above 70,13001.; and there was a bona fide bidder, who only lost it by bidding 501. les►, and who would, if hr had kobwis that the same time would he given to pay the purchase money which Mr. Waters had taken, have bid a much larger sum. Under these considerations. Mr. Waters had no rig h t to be put in a better situation than any oilier person who might have become the purchaser of the Opera. house. Mr. Hut?, in reply, said it was not necessary for him to repeat what ►Mr. Waters wanted, which was, that he might he allowed to retain, out of the purchase-money, such sums as he fora expended for the benefit of the Opera-house, at the time Mr. Octold was the manager. The LORD CHANCELLOR—" If I understand rightly, Mr. Hart, the Master lias reported i►► the first instance, that this is ai► encumbrante, and on exceptions to his report, it has been decided that it is not. You have a right, then, to shew me that this is infallibly the Money of Mr. Waters; and you must take this with you, that no decision of wine ever authorised this sum to be deducted from the purchase-money." Mr. HART--" 1 can shew that G,ooot was laid out on the account of Mr. Taylor." The LORD ChANCELLOn" Yon mutt also shew to me to demonstration, that after the balance is struck bettiects these gentlemen, that that ba lance is due to Mr. Waters." Mr. H strr--. , If it is not an encumbrance. it is a iuul thst Mr. Trylor ought to have paid out of the receipts of the openr-house. when he was manager; but lie says it is impossible for him to give an account of the receipts, us he his no vouchers." The .LORD CmAntaLLoa—is I take the order of the Vice-Chancellor to be quite right, that it is not an encumbrance; but the fact here is neither More nor less than that when Taylor was the ma nager, he ought to have paid the performers, which he did not do; but the bunkers were obliged. and they had Goold's security, and he was Compelled til reimburre them, and he charged, as a matter of account between him and Taylor. Mr. Waters stands pieeisely in this way ;he sap, Don't let me have to pity money into Court, and then Olige me to ask your leave to take it out again.' lam told there is sufficient evidence Ist the Master's office that this is the care, but it is not before me." Sir SAAUEL ROSIILLIr" There is an account pending in the blestei'• office, whereby it tippears 11)41 Mr. Waters undertook the management of the Opera-house at the rate of 29,000/. a season, and has expended Mom/. mere its a season." The LORD CHANCELLtitt— , I I I will read the Master's report, and see if it will make any differ ence in my opinion, and I cannot do more."
