But within thelast twelve months, it would owner that intellect had gained emir/1. fen no aloner was an a pp ea l =de to the }le hanies of lendan and Glasgow, than it was immediately at sllefell. Its potent got antic erpearance would in other times be considered as ttely the work of magic. It was unnecessary to travel through the history of this Institution or that of Glasgow, as he bad been ably anticipated on that sub j ect: however, he would briefly allude to what had occurred that day. They were that Illy met to commemorate the host aeniversary of an institution. winch Ginned an ern in the history of the country. in the temple, of w!lich the fine atone was this ray laid, the mind would find recreminn, and tf.e moral habits of man improvement. The intellectual being tumid feel his nature elevated, and man would learn to find himself :noel after the imeee and likeness of the Divinity. In that temple, the tom eof keno/ledge would be un folded--the riven of retteon eevelevated—science shed her lights, and our physical enorlitirm be improved. In that temple all would be admitted; tiny, the invitations to enter it should be as wide as the domirion of mind itself. It had long ago been said by Bacon, that knowledge was powerj and every day's experience since fully confirmed that assertion. knowledge was not merely power—it was wealth, comlnt, enjoyment. happinesa—it was th.' solace of anguish, the soothe of disammintment ; it heightened rational ;demure, and gave a keener relish to enjoyment. The mental faculties would then be more amply developed ; and it would a 9 meth at wee the avenue to. and be the guide of. eve useful species of knowledge. Age w4m141 then he comforted, youth instructed, manhood confirmed in the principles of science and morality. anti the general condition of our nature elevated and sublimed ; the grosser passions would be restrained, and man would 'nit abroad in his elevated omens , . livery this e on earth was submitted to his control, anti created tow his nee ; and it was to be hoped. that while he was there taught to see and feel the beauty and the harmony of all the works of art, man would poor above his terrene views, and prove, by his better conduct, and his more refined morality, that he was not ungrateful to the great bountiful Author of his creation. Ile begged again to thank the Meeting for their kindness, and sate down amidst general applause. Mr. Ilene rose, and was received with rounds of applause. When silence was Teetered. he proreeded to state, that he would 1+: always happy to nttend Is the interests of this Society. On tt.e fornier occasion bithiness kept him away, hot in spirit anti in feel ing he was with them. It would be waste of time to enter into detail on the subject of this Institution; but he was happy to say, that the system was taken up with energy in Aberdeen, as sell as in almost even , other town of consequence in the kingdom. His Honourable Friend (Mr. Brougham) had said, that no man could call himself a friend to the working classes of satiety, who did not contribute their puree to provide for the instructien of the mechanics. lie agreed with him; he went farther. and could not help expressing his great regret, that artists and others, who had reaped a rich harvest of wealth from the labo rious cur.ings of the mechanics, had tint cone forward on this occasion. The work well began was half ended, and to 1/r. Birk heck were they indebted for that generous offi:r, which enabled them to contemplate that structure's being soon ready to receive them, where they would be sure to find Science and her kindred sisters. Without knowledge. without virtue, without industry, wealth was but dross, and riches like chaff before the wind. The Honourable Gentleman then concluded by proposirg the health* of the Trusters. ( Applause.) Mr. Iletorottast, on behalf of the Trustees, returned thanks. and added. that however he differed with his Honourable Friennd, the Member for Aberdeen, there was one point oh which all were areed—namely, that no man acted more honourably or disinte restedly than that Honourable Member. Ile joined his floe. Friend in saying, that those who had acquired their fortunes by the labours of the mechanics, ought to conic forward in support of this Institution • and he trusted they would do sum before the next meeting. The lion. (lentleman then gave the health of their absent friends, Sir Francis Burdett, Mr. John Smith, and other Gentle,. Men. (Applame.) The Secretary (Mr. Blake) here read letters from Mr. Joshua Walker, Mr. llobliouse, and Mr. John Smith, apologising for their absence from this anniversary. Mr. Alderman Wono. (who was received considerable ap plause,) said, he MA to reret that he did not before know they hod intended to build their 'Lecture-room, or he should have been present toAay at laying the foundation-stone. He was sorry that huikling was not erected in the city of London. fot he could assure the Meeting. that in no place would there he paid a greater atten tion to their interests and liberties than in the city of London. But, as they had mho:wine thought proper, he begged to assure them, that fie would do all in his power to assist the Institution. He concluded by proposing the health* of Mr. Martineau Pr. Gil christ, and John M•lVilliam, Esti., their able and scientific Lecturers. _ . . M•neltNi•l7, in returning thanks. expressed a hope that Institutions like the present would be generally spread throughout the kingdom. Knowledge would he it:omen-el by them, and in that knowledge would be found a safer remedy against combination than Acts of Parliament. (Applause.) Dr. Glees' RIST said, that his highest ambition was to bear the wise prerep,s of others, ard do the best he could in practice for the benefit of this Institution. They were charged by his worthy friend (Mr. Alderman Wood) with having run away from the mo tet-ling wing of the City. But he would explain the reason. They were to tree a pair of compasses, and every eye knew that one foot must be firm in the ground berme they used the other. The ohjert was to look out fur a central situation, and nowhere could a better be found than that selected. But let not the worthy Alder derma labour neater any apprehension, fin soon he might have to prefect a Alechanies' [munition not oily in the East but in the West, where he resided. boon might these institutions shine like thcjail sun, and' be welcomed everywhere in his daily course. (Applause.) Mr. :11•11' le t lAX. in returning thank., observed, that however mechanic. might be talked off with indifference, he still contended that no class of Society could be valuable without a mechanic. The farmer, the builder, the shipwright, the Princes and Potentate., and the naval men, could do nothing without a mechanic. The farmer could not make his plough without his aid, the builder construct his doors or windows. the shipwright build his ship or hoist the pendant, that proudly floated Oat/ our 'hotel, nor could Triuccs or Potentates ever carry their crown* without the assistance of the mechanic. Englar.d was evidently the greatest nation in the world ; to what was that owing but to the exhaustless spring of tile English mind, and that spnng being directed by the great God. who he hoped would continue to prosper their Institution. Ile di.' not wish to trespass on the patience of the meeting. but he could nut help saying that all, whether high or low. Omuta be listened to with patience. The people of old, when they heard I I long speeches • watt away saying, "Let us fight against l'hillip ;" and he trusted, that after the speeches they had heard. their 7 I would be, " Who will be the friend of Mechanic Institutions? " ' Toast—" The Auditors of the Society." (Loud applause.) Toast—" The Solicitor, Mr. Tooke." Mr. Tonne, in returning thanks, observed, that be was proud of the honour thus conferred upon him. lle felt it an honour to have belonged to this Society, and be rejoiced in the part he had taken. When he was no more. he felt proud to think that his children after hint would rejoice at the course he had adopted, as conducive to the benefit and improvement of mankind. The that a nag, in proposing the healths of :Messrs. Joe. Ro bertson and Nlr. Hoskins, bore testintany to the great services which I they had conferred upon this Institution at the period of its emu mencement. Their labrnirs were able, though unfortunately, from some cause or other, estranged ; and he was sorer that one only of the informed editors of the Aftehomire 21fitgazine was now present. I The Society had to thank them for the past ; and, despite the dif. ferment which had occurred, the Institution were deeply indebted to them. Gentlemen, l Gull n^w propose the health' of our friends, •"The enlightened Editors of the Alcehanle's Alagazint. Their labours gave an impetus to your ahem ; you followed them; and hi doing so you lure acted well and wisely." (.Ipplause.) flose.sts, In returning thanks, regretted the absence of his friend, the able and informed Mr. Robertson. He rose with mixed feelings of humility and pride; humility few his own dr. Science, and at the result of their labours. The Ilortourable Gentleman then proceeded to read a streement from a forthcoming number of the Edinburgh Rev:tie, upon "Scientific Knowledge; ' but suit contended that with him and his colleague originated the Mechanics' Institution ; for, he could state, as matter ot truth, that when they put forth the proepectua,callieg fey a meeting of the me chanics, they were unacquainted with the existence of Dr. H. or of Iris residence in London. So far he wished to set himself tight with this saernthly. Now a few words as to the condition of mechanics. In the time of Cicero it was said that a mechanic was not tolerable, and a merchant only tolerable when he wan rich. Look now, how ever. at the sinneion of tnerhanies--look at them in mines, in the gas-works. There the mechanics were chymisto of the first order. Formerly the laws imposed restrictions on the industrious mecha nize, but then the mechanics had but little knoaltd4e: now they were requiring knowledge, and the more they bcennie informed the higher would be the degree of their elevation. This was a consi dastion which should not be lost on them • and with that view he Treas.(' it en their attention. lie 'banked the Meeting for their patience, ard begged to say, that lie considered the present day as one of the proudest of his Lie. (Loud applause.) Mr. Tor Loa, in a neat speech, proposed the health* of the Lecturers of this Institution. (Applause.) 31r. I toTc 111:II returned thanks. Mr. Coo el:It (the Lecturer on Chemlater) also returned thanks, and obverveil that if the little lie had dine Amerced their tharks, he would, by his future exertions in their behLit, endeavour to do more. 1:1 oplause• Colonel TomeLus, before prep ring the MORS with which he meant to conclude, contended at souse 'event', that in proportion to the difliision of t:, lights of science, would the idle animosities between master and man subside. "'vital would always determine the price of Llano.; for labour and corsumption would go to gether. And when the light of know ledge prevailed, the animosi ties which exissed would die away. All men were but links in the Peale ; destroy one and the others could not go on right 'oftener. Vulgar at-Woman: whilted to derive the people of knowledge; but idle and absurd were their caons. I: was quite delightful to h e ar the opinions of the great leader of opposition (who hail jug 'yokel') say,that knowledge w ar t ices try to the welfare and to the good of the people. In k:ngland tool See:la:Hl there Institutions pt.:rade!, and superstition must itincime extinct where science prevailed.

The time was new come at which combinations like religious prejudices could not prevail ; according to the extent of capital would be the employment of lahoor, and of course the price of wages, and no capital creild adversely control it. So with religious prejudice : so the capital of science advoneed, prejudice must diminish. The honourable and gallant oWcer coocludal by 'proposing " The Ci!! of London." (Applause.)

Colonel Ton it ENS here begged leave to mate a fact, which bore on the topics adverted to in Ibis meeting. A reward was offered for the eistovery of the parallax of the fixed stars.

THE ROYAL SOCIETY. We yesterday gave a Report of the preeedings after the anni. versary dinner of the Royal Society, and in which a complete mis. take wan made respecting the astninornie.il observations of Hr. Brinkley. We now, therefore, for the mke of correcting the error, suhioin an abstract of the Learned President's address to the Fellows, at their 31ceting in the morning of St. Andrew's Day : A number of Fellows had nmenibled by twelve o'clock, when The l'ac 101 DE Tof the Bowes. SOCIETY, after announcing the additions nude to the number of Members of that Learned Body in :he last rear, and stating the deaths that had taken place, referred to Baron 3laseres, as the only scientific author and eon. tributor to the Too/ore:ions, whose kiss he had to announce. He paid a handsome tribute of respect to the deep mathematical know ledge, and disinterested love and patronage of science of this Learned Judge, who published many important algebraic works at his own expense, and enabled other persons to bring forward cations which, without his protection, would never have seen the light. He then proceeded to announce the award of the Medal on Sir Godfrey (opley's donation, which the Council has bestowed on the Rev. Dr. Slrinkley, ['resident of the Royal Irish Academy, for his various communications to the Royal Society. " Sonic persons who have not closely followed the usages of the Council may be surprised," says the President, "that, in two successive years, this token of the respect of the Society should have been given for labours in the same science, particularly when no great discoveries have resulted from them ; but where a prize is to be given annually, which is one of the conditions of the Bona. tion„ it cannot always be bestowed for grand and brilliant results, and no branch of human knowledge more demands encou ragement than Astronomy ; for, having arrived almost at • mature state, it offers, perhaps, fewer objects of new inquiry than any other science, and improvements can be made in it only by the greatest delicacy of asersation, by great labour, and that at a time which is usually devoted to repose, and often with a sacrifice of health. The A atronomer requires not days or nights only, but months or years for his results, and demands all the sympathy and all the attentions and kind feelings of his brethren in science. The President paid tuner high compliments to Dr. Brinkley; dwelt ins n his profound mathematical knowledge---the most essen tial quality of an accomplished astronomer; ripen his accuracy, acuteness, and niinure spieit of observation; upon the forer.gth of Isis reasonings, and the candour and justice of his philosophical views. . 6 You knew," he said, "Gentlemen, that Dr. Brinkley and the Astronomer Royal are at issue upon two great points of astronomy • OM affirming, SilelitllCT dairying, a sensible parallax of some o f the fixed stars : ne denying, the other affirming, a southern motion of a considerable part of the sidereal system." The Council of the Ito; al Society (sled the President) did not, by their vote of the medal to Mr. Pond hat year, mean to deckle on the evidence on these subjects, or to give an opinion on these difficult questions in 'missionary, dependirg upon such nice obaervattont. They make the szne reservation this year, founding their award uisni the great and general scienti fi c merits of Irnetor Brinkley. ahe President then mire a history of the progress of sidereal astronomy, and particularly of the inquiries made respecting a parallax, or the differences of the angles nsafle by fixed stars with the two extremities of the earth's orbit. Ile detailed the opinions far observations and experiments of Galileo, Flamstearl, Hooke, Bradley, Michell, Hero:hell, Cassini, La (aille, and Pineal. Ile stated that Dr. Brinkley 's latest and lust refined result on the parallax cf Alpha Lyra: (the star in which he has most ievariably observed. this phenomenon) of one second and a few hundredth putts, is rot opposed to Dr. Bradley's view of the subject, or to the photometric-al considerations of Mr. Mitchell and Mr. thou. Ile stated, that with respect to the Southern motion, Dr. Itriockley's ophden was sup ported by that of astronomers. These questions, says the Presi dent, arc not matters of useless controversy, or even of mere curl oaity, all the Ives. all the phenomina of astronomy are more or less connected with them. The fixed stars are in the system of the heavens ; what landmarks are, or extremities of base lines are to measure) upon the earth, and the correctness and use of our calculations depend upon the supposition of the permanency of their arrangements. In waiting (he said) for new elucidations on this subject, he could not brit congneulate the Society on the ex biting state of astronomy, and the number of its cultivators, which rendered it irepouth:e that any great problem could long remain unsolved, whilst such philiorpfters exist, he said, as Dr. Brinkley, at Dublin, 31. I lased, at Roe igsbrirg, Seliumachrm, as A Irons, Arago, at Path, Olbere at Bremen, and Ilardinge at Gottingen. The improving stare of astronomy abroad, end the increased per fection of instrumer.ts, ought, tosiel the ['resident, to he subjects of congratulation to us, tot of ealousy or uneasiness; for the language of science is universa l; she belengs to no country; her results are fur the whole Inman race, and belong rot merely to the present generation, but to posterity ; and astronomy, above ail branches of human knosicrige, demands fur its ad vancement, the cordial co-operation of philosophers in the most remote parts of the globe. Amongst other instances of this truth, he gave the fee", that the return of the comet within a period of four years, calculated by lletie, would not have been verified but .'or the observatory exhibited by the liberality of Sir T. Brisbane in New South After comparing the Astron-trny of ancient and modern nations, and pointing out the imeroved state of this science, an one of the great characteristics of the present times t he concluded by some obaarvations upon its utility and its effects in enlightening and ex alting the hutuanniind.

There was some desultory convei sawn amongst the Gentlemen of the for, as to the comoequencts of the motion. They were ap. preher.sive, that if it were persevered in there would be no Italian Op_ersi at aIL The LORD CHANCELLOR—TiIe question ri. Wl'et l ier in eons.. quence of this motion there may exist a Opera House at all. I do not care twornee whisther it do or not. Mr. SrODEN. for some of the defendants, Raid it was strange that this motion mold not he brought on unless there was a motion made on some other matter, which had no more reference to the less:e of the theatre. than it load to him. His Lordship was not to li-ar this because there was motions to be mode on other matter.. which hail no reference whatever to the question. It woold he as reasonable to assert that a motion respecting Drury-lane or Covent ganden bore on the present discussion. The Loan CHANCELLOR said, he bad read almost aU Ute minutes of the ease. Mr. firratere—The motion sought fur was, that a raper m ann should be aprainted to the management of the Eine a Theatre, and that Mr. Bentlli should be obliged to surtettler all the machi. nor. dreams, &e. without prejudice to the bond wetted by him to Mr. Fibers. He appeared to the defendants, Vallop and Chippen ham, not at all tOr Benelli. who was not here. The Learned Gen tleman came to Court, tied asked for an order against Benelli, to compel him to give up the theatre, and they natl not served him with any meh corder. This, if he thought . I ,lll l .t'r to make It, would be a final objection against the motion. Ile had never seen • mode,' made which had leas merit, ttor one which the Court, either on authority or principle, was less able to grant. Mr. Bart, with eonsitlerable dexterity, bad kept the facts of the case out of view; these facts he would state when he had enticed the prayer of his motion, and of that made by the opposite party. The tint bill was Melt by Mr. Eliers against the 111ar -11111:4 of Flenford. the Earl of (Ili:iv:di. Itenelli, and the others, in 3lichaelmas Terri. 1r,2:1. It stated the agreement niade with Itenelli and others, to let the theatre t the lease was actually ex ecuted, at the rent of 10,00 W. annually; the lessee was to pay the lea. of the runnieg torn. There wan oleo a separate deed, under which the scenery, dresses, machinery, &c. of the theatre, were actually assigned by Ebers, and the produce of the theatre end of the sids•eriptions, was to be paid into the house of Clunithers and Co.. in the name el 111 r. Allen, and the balance wan to he hard. ad over to liertelli, the purchaser of the property. The first tp•ta tinn he should ask was, what it the situation of Itenilli ? In arguing this ease he was supporting the interests of Renelli, though absent, for his interest was identified with that of his clients. Under the arrangements which were made, Ilenelii wee the sole lessee of the theatre. AVloat is the conduct of Air. Morn ? Ile conies into Court, and asks for a remedy against a contract; he wants to deny the validity of a legal instrument, and strike it out, as if it never existed. A regular agreement had been made; a lease was executed from Ebert to lienelli a Mr. Allen was ap pointed receiver to the property; it was told to his Lordship that the purchaser was to take the profit or loss of the season; the deeds were drawn up so as to make petit or loss a leaner of uncer tainty ; and Ebert did not produce the &mews till all the deeds were executed. The accounts then showed the loss on the season which had just elapsed, to amount to 10,0001. and it wax aflimied that Ilenelli had a right to pay this loss ; to this &mein answered, " This is a fraud ; you, Ebert, knew the exact amount of the loas; when I was buying thin concern, I thought I was buying a profit or loss, that I had a chance in my favour, but there was nothing ; you knew there was a certain loss of 10,00 W." Upon this basis Itenelli tiled a bill, praying that the contract may be pronounced fraudulent, and the property given up. As to the motion be fore the Court, there was no authority to grant it; it was impossible to take Mr. Ebert out of the difficulty of which he complained, if he did not first give up this money ; and even though the Court de clared these proceedings should he rescinded, tl:e measure could not be carried into covet if' the money were not restored. Mr. Ebert filed a ernes bill against this mole Brnelli, admitting the' farts, hut of course denying the fraud, and prays, in some pins, fur what it would be difficult for the Court to grant ; it had, in fact, no such authority. lie required also specifically, that Rent Ili may he rampant,' to perform h:s contract of bargain and sale made in the year Inal. This deed referred to the machinery, dresses, end to the management of the subscriptions lodged in the house of Chambers and Company. This part of the minion was granted ; Allen was rc.appointed Receiver. Here, theta:ore, an end was pat to the suit, as ter as Ehers was concerned. except as to the taking of the accounts ; and now they want to appoint a manager—they want to bind his clients, who are already bound with Ilenelli; they re. quire the p-oneuty to be given up to their management, and that Ehers should he appointed a manager. %rim it possible for any man, with a grave ard serious face, to make such a motion,—to ask the Court to metro an injunction against a legal right created by a legal deed, in which there was no provision to meet such a case as the present ? They say a manager should be granted, be. cause there was a covenant that the Open-house should be kept open. There was precisely such a covenant in the lease of every public house ; it was covenanted that every such house 'Would be kept open and carried on as a public-house, and if this was not complied with, was a party to come to that Court and ask his Lord ship for a manager to draw beer for the period oft 11 years, or what. ever may be the term of the lease, sad make the Court of Chan. eery manage the concerns of all the public-houses in the country It wan impossible to make any distinct ion between such a case and that before the Court. The Court had no such power—it could not possess one of more danger. Ile had the authority of his Isordship in the case of Waters, to show the reluctance with which the Court I interfered in the eases of partnership, as in breweries and other large establishmerts, with a view of an ad inicritn management. The Court would not appoint a manager in cases of partnership, un. lets with a view to the dissolution. The Court, in these matters. should see its way clearly. In the present case there was no part ! nenthip—llenelli was sole lessee, and could support his possession against the whole world. Ehers required of his clients to give up the sum of 11,000/. which they had advanced, to leave all their friends bound, and leave themselves nothing but the pleasure of seeing the property n:ismanaged by Mr. Ebert, whom they ehathed with losing 10,0011. in the season of RIM. by incompetence, and saddling it on them by unfair dealing ; and he now endeavoured to put them nut of an estate bought and paid for with their own money. That Court did not like to interfere in the management of the theatre. This was showed in the case of Rily, in which his Lordship was Counsel ; it was argued before Lord Thurlow, who did not wish to he the manager of the Opera. The Loan CHANCELLOR—Quite the contrary he delighted in malt eases. Mr. Sun!, r.w—lrird Thurlow might hare been pleased with the actresses and singers, but he believed he did not I'M any pleasure in the management. The limit) CHANCELI.OR did not know the taste of Lord Thurinw u to ringers, but be trim more pleased than other people in having the concern in law. However, he MAX net so much at tached to the Opera as he was to the /loyal Circus. Mr. Sr° DESC—TIie Court was decidedly averse to the system of management, except where it by so attune enabled justice to be done. If it interfered to manage the Opera house, it should with cluel reason interfere in the management of all the breweries and joint concerts in the kingdom. Ilere the lecatned Gentleman read a judgment of the Court, which declared that it would refuse in junctions in such concerns. except where the partnership was to be dissolved; in other cases the Court would not exert a controlling power. From this there was nothing ro as that the Court would not interfere in partnership MACS. tless where the partner. shin was to be diswdrt•d. and here the interference would not be indefinite; it would net an until the case was ripe for hearing. lest the property should he ruined in the interim, by Inc partiter pulling one way and the rest another. In the present ease there was no partnership; but had not Mr. Lbers a tight of re-entry? was a.* this in every lease? was not this covenant in the I•msa of every firm, that tenant* should not break up such and such hinds? It :his covenant was not observed. Irv. the !tntllord to cows to that Court to appoint a manager to fulfil these covenants, for per'•tars thirty or fluty y.urs ? For such breaches there Was a remedy given by the common law of landlord and truant. If Mr. Ebets has this right of re-entry, why is he here? why does he rot proceed by ejectment, and turn his clients out of the Opera (louse? l'he motion was supportet; by an affidavit of an extraordinary nature. Ile (Mr. titv.gen) knew the arc:owl-A he was nsa•g to dveisive as to the lease ; and any breach of covenant which may he coin. nlitted, the parties had their ritlress, but not lore.

Mr. Hoe , ppesred for the Marquis of Hertford. the Hon. 31r. Roue, and Colonel Cooke. They world have no objection to Imre the matter in the hands of his Lordship. or of anvbay else. if they were reler.wd from their bonds. He did not knOw how his clients were concerned, but it was clear that they were reckoned im portant, otherwise they would not be made detendonts in this suit. Ile questioned if Mr. Chem could bring his clients Into this Court. When he brought his action sgainst them in a Court of Ce ninon Law, Rene was the lessee. and if the lease was had. his Lord ship's assiltance was not wanted • Ebert could proceed by eject ment; but the lease was so goo d,' that be was obliged to come here. _ The Lorin CHANCELLOR—Vow . clients are not only hound to the rent of the theatre, but to all other claims that may be made upon IL lIOC XE—Mr. Benell being a foreigner could haw.''n pro perty in lands to serve as an indemnity, however reseeetable he ma Le. lie was not opulent. Mr. Ehers nude therefore, a miner! that should find a certain sum of money, and ledge it in the Bank of Chambers and reurpany ; his noble clients took the same view.. and slay Benelli bad no property of his own, the wt.re determined to look to some, out of which they should work then own indemnity, if he did not fulfil his own engagements. They took bonds, which gave them a right against Benefit ; as to the right over his person, that was evidently slight, and it, as it was said, he had gone ab road,: it was none at all. last year he did not return till the 16:h Ihrensher ; he may still return, wid bring with him those performers who were necessary for the theatre. It was said that this year. previous to his departure, he had advert ;scd the dresses,R.c. of the t/pera.houste. This was not done by him, at least it was not proved ; but suppose he had done en, was the Lord Coancellor to look into the interior of the Open.lsouse Were the stale dresses and decorations to be kept as heir loom. ? He was no fudge of such matters ; the Roman stage had hut few deco-ations„ but he believed new dresses, Re. were the greatest attraction the modem theatre could boast. How, there fore, could it be objected to Benelli, if, r.uthorized by his contract, lie raised money by sale of these articles, and paid cif the incuniltrances of the preceding year? What right had the Court to interfere ? Ills clients had a right to look for an Initemeity ; they did not mean to wring It from Bandit's person ; if such was their intention they could have no Opera, for It could not he carried on without him. When Mr. Ehers was the manager, he found himself incompetent. He there line gave up the direction to Ilettelli, who was both competent and trust.worthy. He was, in fact, the great artist. This, therefore, was not the case of a enuitnni trustee. Vie must consider what Benelli was, and is. 1:e executed counter securities to his clients as indemnities. Ebel% said to Bentlli. " You cannot pay me rent 1 mast have men of the highest rank in society an my security." Ile did not blame bins for this ; hot if Rena is in possession, ac cording to his contract, how can his clients be at once defendants in an amen at law, and in n court of equity ? They may say to his Lordship. release us from our bonds, for if you grant the motion, the consequence will be, that there will not be binds for us out of which we can work our indemnity; and an additional aggravation will be, that the property will he taken out of our hands by the very person who made the contrite, Ebers cannot do this until be released his clients from their contract. There was no equity again' them; they were broveht there. tot by any niistonduct of theirs, but in consequence of certain relations between Ebers and Benelli. There may be equity between them, and therefore they rannot be deprived of their legal estate in the Opera-linise. If Bbers have cgtoty against }lntent, and prefer it to his legal con tract, he may have that equity hut his clients must be released from a new state of things b ran ht on them, not b their own misconduct, but by the acts of others. Ile conclude d by saying that one of two tow:repent-es must attend this motion; it would either fail, or, if granted against Itenella it must be on condition that his clients were released from their hands and liability. Mr. Tag:gime E, on the same shic—llis Lordship had en objec tion to the management of one Opera House. It this motion were 1 1 granted, he would perhaps have the management of two; for when Benefit returned to England with his prelim:ins, he would of course have another (Vern I louse. Mr. 'Lute, its reply, said, hid I.ertrnel Friend (Mr. Sugdet) affirmed it to he impossi ble t'or th- lewd Citancel!ortn gr-nt his too tints ; hut he had seen his Lonlship do many °filmy impossibrnenk notwithstanding the predictions of 11;1 Learned Friend. If his Lordship could see in Benelli anything btu an absconded in/elves& debtor, who owed his protection front the law to his atetence—if his Lordship couhl see anything else in him but a wish to destroy the property as far as he was allowed to destroy it. he would then have no tight to his motion ; hot his [tonightp could not he **judicially blind as net to sec the ed•ject of the rattles. The object of the dis pute was not to preserve the property, by which they would all be preserved, but the object was to wring from Eisen a release from die cor.fitions which effn.ted them : to effect this, they would not let tic Opera go on. They said, "We will bring ruin on your heed slug (Anent avert it, unless you give up our securities, which you have fairly and honourably procured.

As to the re-. triter, Mr. removed the one whese cer.duct and character were a security to all ; whether he appointed another or not, was itnmaterial, as no money went to the bankers*. The Llano l'itaiwcrt.Low—This matter is mere complicated than I was led to kha n.. There are two irdentures--one a lease, the other a contract.
