Mr, FA L Low r 'LLD, one of theTrusteee. gave a detailed history e of the Theatre its far as regarded the situation 4: the Renters, since the year 1791, when the original subscription was made. Ile stated, that the annuity was only paid for seven years, when the debts be came no numerous that all psymeuts except to the performers were suspended, and after many years of litigation in the Court of Chan cery, the destruction of the theatre by tire emend up the concern: that at this tiu.e the debts amounted to 450,01 W. and 'natters ap petered hopeless, till, by the exertions of Mr. ll'llitbread, and an _let of Parliament to legalise the composition fur claims, a new subscription *to nitwit by the present Proprinnrs, and the existing Theatre nautili : that upon de. occasion the new Renters, with great liberality, gave ue all their arrears, amounting to 60.011111. and /greed to take an asininity of !a.m. per night instead of 2s. lid. and likewise gave up their entsimon the patentee s lease, insurance money, surrounding buildings. Ac. whirls had all been assigned to them, on having a pewee of distress to enable them to recover their an nuity if in swear at any future time: that differences arising be. (wren the Trustees and Committee respecting the power of distress, and the Theatre pitying the annuity foe three yawl, no active mea sures were taken. In the mean time the Theatre again became involved. and debts to the amount of 90,0e01. had again accumu lated in 1/119, when the Theatre was first proposed to be let; but to do this effectually it was necessary Wet the debts should be arrang ed, and the Reiner% again, came forwasd, and, with their usual Jibe. Talky, gave up their claim furaszears amounting to 16.0110/. and likewise tar four years to come, amounting to as much move. The Itonelholden, with equal liberality, folhowtel their example, and the creditors, not to be behinti-lu.nd, agreed to take ten shillings in the pound. To raise this flattery a public subscription was entered into, upon a mortgage of the rent of the Theatre; the whole of this sub scription has been repaid. and no debt now remains but a portion of the nom! debt, which will he eorapletely paid nfl' in about four'. years to mar. when the Pzoprietor. themselves will be enabled to make a small dividend, which will go on gradually increasing. The Renters have this year received their annuity, and nothing in' the enuntion course of evt nts appears likely to 1111 l oak the future receipt of it. Mr. F. concluded by seeing, that the shares were actually now selling for 2.10 g ' as, and lie had no doubt, upon the' declaration of the ;meant dividetid, that they would fetch 3110 gni., near, which would ins a nett 7 per cent, for seventy years to come, • target suns than they had at any time sold for during the hot 25 1 years, even when the annuity was double the amount it now was. (coosiderable applause.) The Rev. Ale. Resit moved that the payment of this dividend should be anauuneed in some of the morning papers, and that the day for receiving it be the pith instant, which was unanimously' agreed to. One of the gentlemen present wished to hare the Renters vote a ! sum for a piece of plate, to present to the Trustees, especially to Mr. lallowfield, fur the perseverance and the zeal with which they I attended to the attteint of the Theatre. !

Hyatt. letters from ft:dottiest state, that the Capitan Paella Lad found consitlerahle difficulty in inducing the auxiliary .illostiian troops to embark on board his fleet, on account of their dunanding not only their arrears of pay, but like s'se dirty months in advance ; and that the corps of those Irwin moo fort of Eparnona had absolutely refused to join the Paella until these conditions were cum died with, al though he had arrived purposely to embark them. If. how ever, seam to believe the subjointtl article from the Frank f trt Pares, the Pacha of Scutari has, through " the in tervention of a foreign agent," got the means of satisfying the Albanians, so far as money is concerned, and that he is prritarisg to attack NI issoloughi.

This want of precaution on the part of the plaintiff caused • busiderable delay; and in the mean time another cue, of no public interest, wee disposed of; previous to which a conference of nearly halt an hour took place between the two Judges, ,Mr. Justice PAVE and Mr. Justice I.creserstex ; and the defend. ants being brought up in the custody of Mr. Lavender, the case proceeded. Joseph Vakeford, an assistant keeper of Lord Plymouth, was called. lie elated, that on the 2:14 of October, Ift.n, he was in a field in the parish of l'ardebigg, and saw the four defendant.: and after he had observed them for • short time, he saw Richard Riot set a net across a gateway, fur thfr e of catching hares. cle arly what took place, and i m. Pitts said he had some c o. wires; and he. jointly with Richard int, proceeded to set them in • hedge. They knelt down in thi ditch to do so. Cooke and the other flint were standing PICO( path close by. While 11. flint was setting the net all of them were together; they were all at the gate. They had fire or six dogs; they were lurches, which are good for hunting in the night, as they don't give tongue. The witness hail seen a lurcher named Rose often hem; this dog had belonged to Cooke, but he did not know that I it belonged to Cooke then. Ile certainly had seen this dog often at Cooke's house, and this dog knew a keeper well. One of the persons hearing the witness, cried out " Tom !" but no one returned any answer ; another man afterwards cried out, " lt . ho are you 'e" and the witness replied, " I saw you set the net ;" and as this man ran away across the bean-field, the witness took the net, and proceeded down to the other defendant., Cooke and Thos. Dint, who were standing in the path. while the others set the wires. Richard Dint said, " Hist," and Thoniaa Dint started up with a wire in his band. The witness said to Richard Dint, " I have been looking after you for a long time. but could no: find you out." He replied, " What have you seen?" The witness replied, " I saw you set the net ;" on which Dint observed, " It you saw me set the net, who has got it r" Witness fearing they would take it from him, said, that the man who ran away had got it. Hint then chal lenged the witness to tight him, but witness would not, and whistled three times as a signal to his assistants. All the others went away but Thomas flint, who said, •"fhere is the rogue's whistle." The witness went away and came back again with two other keep : era, sod one of' the defendants said, on the keepers going behind a hedge, " What do you hide for ?" and the witness said. " I have seen enough, I saw you set the nets." The witness and the keepers went away, and as they were going. Richard Pitts said, " If you want something to swear to, see thi, " and obeyed the witness an. other net. Cooke lay down in the . pat ' h—lie did nothing at all.

It was a Month iwrore any complaint was made before a Magistrate . I told Lord Plymouth of it within a week ; I took Cooke into custody ; he I was kept in prison three days before we took him before the Ma gistrate, and then the Magistrate would not go into the business. ' Mr. Robeson is laird Plymouth's attorney, lie examined me the the next day. ('stoke is a traveller; perhaps he may be respect able. I quarrelled with Dint about tot sharing fairly. Re-examined—f told the head keeper next day ; 3lr. Robeson told me to en before the 31agistrate. Richard !tint stated, that he lied had no notice of trial. The other remaining defendants made a similar statnuent. 1110111il‘ Hawke's, another of Lord Plymouth', keepers, merely corroborated the latter part of IVakeford'o evidence. George Parsons, another of his Lordship's keepers, also spoke to the same facts. Mr. Cunwoon addressed the Jury foe the defendant ('mike. Ile would confess, that when his brief was put into his harale he was surprised to find Mr. David 1/ads, of Holborn, in the county of Mishilesca, prosecuting poachers in 111 . orce.terobire ; but it had conic out that Lord Plymouth and his Attorney. Mr. Robeson.: were elm bringers of this action. lie had heard of Lord Plymouth before in Courts of Justice, and they would find that Lord Plymouth, in his tenderness, wioluel to get these unfortunate men transported for *even years: and when lie found that lie could not ' do that, instead of attempting to hare them fined before a magis. trate, he gets them discharged, and directs his Attorney to prosecute them in this dreadfully expensive mode. The defendant Cooke indeed had given bail ; but the other defendants had been kept seven months in a gaol befiee the Noble lased brought them to trial. Ile had never heard of such oppressiem before, except once, and then a plaintiff hail brought an action against a man who had walked along a loot-path by the side of his hedge, and picked black bees i n s as he went along. Mr. Ctc a s rturun to Mr. Curwood—That plaintiff' was Lord Plymouth. Mr. Cs: law notj--In that ense, indeed, the Learned Judge soh!, that picking a Noble Lord's blackberries out of his hedge was in law a motors% and the Jury must give a farthing damages hceause they could 'the plaintiff applied to the Learned Judge for his cenitieue to get costs, but his Lordship refused it. and said, " You lave gut a verdict thy a farthing. but I fear that is a farthing too much.' . Ile sputa ask then in this case, whether there was anything like sulk. cient evidence against Cooke ?

Th e L ear n e d Judge advised them both to retract their pleas, which they did, when they were put Go their trials They had no Counsel. Mr. Si NCLAIn (the Recorder) rend the indictment. The ri mming, lie said, stood capitally indicted, upon the oaths of John sumnierseill and whew, with having, on the 10th day Of May last , feloniously entered into his dwelling-house, situate at Steeton, near this city, and stolen therefrom several art.cles of wearing apparel, his property. The Recorder then prnceedtd to examine Marg-zret Suinsenengill-Aler flther's name is John Summers gill ; she lives with hint ; remembers her father goino out on the 10th of May, she had the case of :he house; at half past seven o'clock that morning she locked the doors and saw the window foamed at halipast five o'clock in the evening the dairy window was pulled out, there was an opening for a man to get In, the door was fastened with two bolts.

This was the case for the prosecution. The prisoners made no defence. The Learned Junta: cliargsd the Juiy, and stated, that the breaking into& dwelling-house in die day-time, and stealing there out property to the amount of five shillings, constituted a capital offence ; and the penalty of the law made it felony, without benefit of clergy. 'f lie .fury would weigh the natute of the evidence, and if they saw any doubt, give the pastiness the benefit thereof. On the contrary, if they saw none, it would be their duty to find the prisoner'. guilty. The Jury immediately found both the prisoners Guilly--Druth.

On Monday, being the Anniversary of the Accession of the House of Brunswick to the Throne, the Fishmongers' Company, according to annual custom, gave a grand dinner to commemorate that event, and some of the most distoigotshed individuals were in. sited.

After the usual loyal and patriotic utasts had been drunk, the CHAIRMAN proposed the health of the Duke of Sussex, whim was drunk in ao enthusiastic manner. His ROYAL Illuitscss, jn retumingthanks, alluded to the event which they were met to celebrate, and said that all friends of con-titutional liberty, and of those principles which had tor their ob ject the welfare or the great body of the community, ought to sup port the House of Brunswick, for it was by that liberty and upon those principles which the family to which lie had the honour to belong was placed en the throne. His Royal Highness, ID the course of his speech, alluded to the presenise of many distin guished foreigners, and said, that had the House of Brunswick a century ago maintained such piintiplos as now were attempted to bw enforced by the crowned heads abroad, they would, without doubt, never have been rewind on the throne of this country. (Loud cheers.) He conclud&l by expressing his hopes, that the slaw principles would ever be maintained in this country, as they Irene the great support of its prosperity and independence, and ftk Opel. ration of our example was requisite to maintain the spirit of liberty in other countries. " The health of the Lord Mayor" was drank with treat sp plattite.. . _ _ _ _ The Loao Marna retained thanks in an able spe in irhich he expressed his gratification at the noble sentiments wh ch they had beard delivered from their Royal Visitor, sentiments for which, by a strange perversion,men not long since ware stigmatised as dis loyal, kJ uttering; but (such had been the happy change of the general feeling) a man would now Incur public odium by at tempting to deny them.

The circumstance! a hit death were pe culiarly painful to him, as it was brought abont by treachery and Royal tyranny, and as he had not died according to his own earnest wish—on t..e field. fighting the monk. of liberty and of human happiness. Notwithstanding the treachery that had been exer cised, and the murders that had been committed on the friends of liberty, he doubted not that the cause world yet mivz. and Spain enjoy the blessings of Constitutional freedom.

He declared there was no tri-nd of his country who must not coincide with the sentiments expressed by his Royal Highness, that the (Heads of the house of Crunswick ought to be the friends of public liberty. What was it that gave this nation her pre-eminence over all (niters in the world, but her liberty ?

Of the :176 wine farms in the two districts, S 7 have one hundred thousand vine stocks or upwards; 163 have fifty thousand or upwards; and 134 have twenty thousand or upwards.

Mit RANK PENITENTIARY:Oa Monday next, the Penitentiary at Milbank, Westminster, is to be ngain re opened, for the reception of male and female prisoners. The two former removals of prisoners, on account of a general, destructive, a n d alarming sickness, that seised them, will be remembered ; and that the sickness was in a great degree attributed to the damp situation of the prison, the want of a free current of air, the poor character of the dietary, and the deficient exercise allowed to the prisoners. Since the removal of the prisoners to separate hulks at Woolwich, the building has been particularly examined by Sir Humphrey Davy and other professors, by five Physi cians, Dr. Roget, &c. at an expense to the public, tt is said,ofaboutl,oool. Various cleanings and alterations were suggested by them, particularly as regards the ventilation of the Penitentiary Prison ; such as an alteration of the walls, the introduction of gratings, &c. to secure a more free current of air; and these amendments, chiefly sug gested by Sir Humphrey Davy. it is understood have been extensively attended to. The alterations, it is ex pected, will prevent the recurrence of that sicknes , which has been heretofore so fatal ; and this is so confidently expected, that preparations are made for the return and reception of prisoners on Monday n.xt. The dietary will he on a more generous scale, and more exercise will he allowed to the prisoners. There will be the sante establishment of offic rs, be. The Chaplain, the Rev. NIT. Bennett, who has per formed duty to the Penitentiary prisoners on hoard the several Hulks at Woolwich three times a week, will resume his duties in the Penitentiary prison. Sieee the last removal of the prisoners, the matron, Mrs. Wil kinson, has died ; there will bee new matron in her stead, over the remelt. prisoners. The Penitentiary cost half .a million in building: it will hold about Am prisoners:: and ter many years past there has been annually granted to it from el,OOO/. to :11,000/.—British Ttardler. COUNTRY CBICILET NIATCII.—In that ininsitab'e work, Oar ViPage, by Miss Maori!, among mammal. other faithful pictures of rustic life, is an admirable sketch under the above title--a sketch, although luxuriantly co loured, possessing a degree of truth and keeping apparent to all who have either participated in the soul-enlivening exercise, or watched the efforts of the contending parties. " Who would think," exclaims the *thor, after describing the pleasurable emotions of the winners at the conclusion of the game, "that a little bit of leather and two pieces of wood had such a delightful power?" None, indeed. but those who had ocular demonstration of it ; and yet we " doubt (to quote the author's words 00) K there be any scene in the world mote animating et delightful than a cricket match." 4.833 13.116 I , 4 ~. t . i i 4 :: ft . i • 0 . 1 4 . .. 1 r I 1 , ' 1 I l' . 1 t I 4 4. 1, 1. ir , 'l% . • 'll l , i i,.i . ‘, ~!' t ~. 1 1 1 • ,I, 1 ~ • t • i l' l + .1 . . 11 , 1 i ',. o t ,
