She visored as Mums Versus, in the very itnitising and s uccessful drama of Rob Roy. We slit not h r lirve she was ever in finer voter, or recire perfect 'hralth. The e n thusiastic plaudits which marked her e ntrance, stimulated her to the most powerful ; and cettninly the lovers of i,..phisiocitell lining's's . , tower enjoyed a more deli li.iiss treat then her performance afforded. She was repeatedly encored ; but the song of "John tlightnidatax," which she executed with surpassing tsleist, civinniandetl almost unprecedented applause.

In the duels with Miro STEPHENS, he was uncommonly effective. Their notes—two sweet rivulets of sound, visiting i t s one rich stream of harmony—mingled with, and melted into, each other, most deliciously. Mr. FuEatt, in consequence of the demise of poor Tnest.T. performed the past of Doagol. lle Kate to the character all that savage roughness cud barbarous running, by which it is distin guished in tlw original.

Mr. GURNEY *taint, that this was au action of troves, to recover 4171. 9s. Id. the value of *even casks of sperm oil, the property of the Plaintiff, which the I)efendants had in their possession, and refused to deliver. The parties are dealers in oil. and, in January 1818, a itersom of the name of CoUnison, purchased the seven casks in question from the Defendants, hat did not remove them at the time. •they remained its Defend:nat.' ware house, and were ultimately sold by Coliinson to the present Plaintiff, who paid for them with an acceptance, and received an order to base them de livered to him. On the I.2th or 13th of March, Plaintiff applied for the was iuforintd by Defendants that they could not deliver it, much us they kid it out iii their po4session. On further impory, it :.pveared, that Colllation kid purchased souther go iutity of oil from the De fendants, at the smile time that he 1m rchavedthe seven casks ne.v in dispute. This portion he had disposed of to a person of the name of Sturch, to whom, when he applied for that which he had really bought. the Defendants delivered, in mistake, the Plaintiff's oil. 'the consequences of this mistake the Plaintiff dirt not choose to submit to, the oil lie bought amounting, in quantity, to four tun•, at lOW. per Inn—whilst that purchased by Sturch was o n ly, in quantity, three tuns, of black inferior sperm, irrurtli only 5:4/. per tun. This plea of mistake, the Learned Counsel contended, could not, in en clear a case, benefit the Defendants. De then called witnesses who fully proved the facts he had stated. _ . . The CHIEF JUSTICE expressed his opinion, that an action of (rover and conversion could not be maintained nutter these circum►tances. There ap peared to have been a mistake, but no conversion. Au action for negligence might perhaps he main tained, hut certainly one for conversion could not be supported.—Plaintiff norasuited. COOPER V. eouteasori. Bari. Mr. Guars Ev stated, that thi4 UCtlOll wan brought for the oon-fulfilment of no indenture, In• whit:ll.oe late Sir George Robinson, who was. Trprrfellted by the Defendant, covenanted to procure from the Crown, from time to time, an extended lease of certain premises, situate oil Tower-hill, which he bad let. in 1782, to an individual, who was represesit ed by ,tlr. Cooper. The late Sir G. Robinson was bound, by that indenture, to apply to the Crown, when iseceesary, for se renewal of the lease, and he had not made any atipulation that, if extraordinary terms were demanded, he should nut, in that case, be compelled to renew. The lease had not been renewed ;nice the year 1809—and, inasmuch as Ilse lessor had not guarded against any coutingencies which might occur in procuring the renewal, his client had a right to call for a compets•ation for the injury which he had sustained, is, consequence of the premises being no longer leased to bins. Look ing to the rent which the premises produced, and the period which had elapsed since the expiration of the lease, Use damaege surmised by the estate of the lessee, amounted to 9721. and the present ac tion was brought to recover that sum. Mr. Dersuaar, for the Defendant, admitted the indenture. Sir George Robinson's family, lie ob served, had held, from the Crown, certain pro perty on Tower-hill, since the time of Charles I. but, its the year 179 P, an Act of Parliament had passed, winch interfered very considerably with the tenure of that property. The Act he alluded to had fur its object the improvement of Tower-hill and its neighhourhotal. Now, by the indenture of lease no which this action was founded, Sir George Robinson, his heirs, administrators, or assigns, were bound, not positively to procure tan extension of the term for which it was granted, but to " apply for, and endeavour to cause to be renewed" the lease in question. This lie would show had repeat edly been done by the Defendant—but the Com• 5,.7-sinners of the Land Revenue, looking to the improvement Act of 1798, had 'lmposed such terms as Ito prudent man could comply with—and which, even if they had bees, agreed to, would, from their mutate (certain tenements being directed to be pulled down, others of a different description to he erected, and gardens to be formed on the .ites of various teliements) have prevented the lessee front again possessing the particular premises in dispute. Mr. lienry Rose, one of the Cl. rks in the of f ice of the Commissioness of Land Revenue, produced two petitions from Sir ti. Robinson, in the year 1807, praying for a renewal of the lease of the premises. The answer to these applications was, that a lease would he granted, on condition that he pulled down certain testenienta (amongst wlsich was that now in dispute), built six substantial mes images, on which lw should expend at least 9,000/. and insure them igainst loss by tire to the amount of 6,0001. Witness stated that Sir George had also made many personal sppliclitionr. The CHIEF said, it appeared from this evidence that abussilaut applicsitither had been made for the renewal of the lease—but the mower was of such a nature as rendered it utterly iiiriptusihle. even if the Defendant agreed to the terms proposed by the Crown, for him to put the Plaiistiff in jun session of the premises claimed, wide!' were to be pulled down, in order to make room for either% ( ) taloa wonftnned.

George l'emiinvm, • private 'soldier bi the ittl re giment of Life Guards, wast indicted foe stealing ti portmanteau, cantainieig II sabertach, pouch, and belt, the gond, of Charles Webb Dauer, Esq. Colon." in thut regiment. It appettrid by the evidence that the portmanteau in question wen pieced in the riding-lonise at Port. man Barracks, •nd the key was lino.; sip in the orderly-room, to which the Prisoner hul access on the night of the robbery. Shortly :41er the port manteau was missed a search was made, and it was found concealed iu n hay-loft in ;eytiinur.mewn, over a stable intritsted t't the rare of the Prisoner. .1. Monday, a wcichttiati, said he saw a soldier carrying a portmanteau on the night of the robbery, but he could not swear it was the Prisoner. /liana five minutes afterwards lie saw the Poisoner coming: in a contrary direction, and believing linti to he the same person he had seen carrying the portmanteau just before, he went top to litin and asked Ilion what lie was carrying. The Prisoner gave is short answer, and said lie was in a great hurry, conveying the portmaidean to IVindsor. The Prisoner, on being called upon for his defence, said, that Ins parents and connexions were respect able persons, residing at Derby - , ■nd diml he wars 18 yeats of age he had beet' an agricultural servant, lie then joined the Life Guards, mod diately volunteered for foreign service ; he, had been in the regiment seven years, and lied accompanied his fellow soldiers through Portugal, Spain, and France, and he would dare any man to say his character had ever been taititril until now. lie declared lie was Innocent, mill willingly confide:l his fate to the laws of his country, and the 111ot:reboil of the Jury. The Common SERJF.ANT summed up the evi dence to the Jury, who, after !I short consultation, returned a verdict of Nut Guilty. J. Wiggins was convictu•fl of stealing ISO lbs. of potatoes, the property of W. White, EA'. of Uxley Farm, near Edmonton. Won. Carr, who was lt few days since tried espi billy, for shooting at 't' Bithugsley, with intent to kill him, or to do hiin some grievous bodily harm, and who was found guilty of krelling the, piece only, was again tint to the bar, charged with having stolen a variety of carpenters' tool•, front e workshop in the nursery gro a n's of :Messrs. Col stile and Co. of the King's-road. It a ppeared in evidence that Billingsley was appointed to guard Messrs. ground•, and on the morning of the 13th of this month, about three o'clock, he was alarmed by Ilse noise of somebody breaking into the carpenters shop; lie soon after raw the Pri soner, and judging that he came there for no hottest purpose, he levelled a liltioderboss at loin ; the Prisoner, however, seized Billingsley by the throat with one hand, put the blunderbuss aside with the other, and a scuffle emmed, in which the Pri , oiter succeeded in getting rissession of the blonder boar, which lie deliberately levelled at the Prosecutor. Fortunately, however, Isom some defect in the lock or flint, it missed fire. The Prisoner then ran away, but W..% pursued by Mr. Billingsley, and tot corn ing to some rails which eiteloped a lot of ground, he (bopped the blutiderhoss, and it was loom' shortly afterwards by a watchtisau, and the Prisoner was apprehended. The Jury found the Prisoner Guilty. The COMMON SERJEANT said the Prisoner was a man of too bail *character to be ullowed to remain iti the country. The Prisoner having been tried capitally on n former day, for shooting with intent to kill, and a point bnviug , been reserved for the opinion of the twelve Judges, the judgment am the present couvic lion was of comae respited. Several trials of pickpockets were heard in the course of the clay. From the late increase in the value of landed property, the farmers are become as anxious to ob tain farms, us they were I.llllle two or three :tears ago to get quit of them. But many tenants have taught their lanilloids a lesson, which prevents them 'rum having leases in blurt ; as they proved such agreements were " play to them, and death to the landtold." Amongst so many convictions against the titterers of forged Bank notes, it seems singular that the Batik should not be able, either by reward or inti midation, to discover the manufacturers of them, as they are the real and original cause of the crime, and the suffering in others. Some interesting advices have been received (via Trinidad) relative to the state of Venezuela and New Grenada. The operations of the advanced posts had all been in favour of the Patriots.
