HAYALIRICEe THEATRE. Mr. WARDS last night made his first appear ance in (Marian, in Mr. Consam's play of The Mountaineers. His performance was crowned with great and deserved success. There are, indeed, hut nne or two performers attached to the Loudon boards, who could give on forcible, and, at the same time, so delicately-finished a picture of the victim of disappointed love, as he presented us with. Mr. WARDS seem. to have formed his general mintier— to have twinkled the outline of has acting —on the principles by which that great master of the histriooic ort, Mr. KERMA, wag guided. A cer tain degree of similarly may easily be traced in the iitt le of these two Gentlemen—but nothiug indicative of • slavish imitation is apparent in Mr. WARDS'S performance. He may be raid to steer a sort of middle course between Mr. KitusLit and Mr. KIM He is nut so complete a precision as the former—nor is he, like the latter, alwsys abrupt and violent in his transitions. Those sudden storms, and equally sudden calms, have often more of trick than of moorr about them—and the con sistency of a character is oftener destroyed, than the performance is improved, by their introduction. But, though :Vlr. W•aps dors not appear friendly to one of the leading errors of the new school. he is not at all deficient in animation. He is not, by any means, a tame, laboured, measured actor. Where the scene demands passion, he possesses capa bilities which call it into immediate life. It Bashes from Ins eye—it thunders from his tongue. He expresses Ina feelings, not by dismembering a widener, and uttering uue half of it in a whisper, the other in a roar—but attains his end by giving to the whole passage that degree of weight and force, which, looking to the immediate situation of the character, it may be fairly supposed to deserve. The part of Octavian is not a great favourite with us. We ihiuk it requires no inconsiderable skill in are actor, so to perform it as to challenge the general applause of an audience. If the actor, fearing that he may be betrayed into rant, enters upon his task, determined to be mild throughout, the character becomes insipid--and, if he give the rein to pm 'lmo, lie is likely to he Ird sotto a degree of extra. vegan, e,uhich is still more offensive. Mr. WARDN avoided these extremes, most felicitously. His re miniscences of Zoroyda were extremely touching. His grief was out womanish. Though it was ten der and affecting, the tires of a manly, but de pressed spirit, sometimes shone through it, and excited commi.eration more strongly. The scene with Such Was played with uncommon Went. The rage of (Macias, when he finds •• hiss haunt broke in upon"—the kindly feeling which succeeds, when the presence of a woman, like oil thrown on the tumultuous waves, calms his passion-41w anxiety with winch he endea vours to trouser from the fugitives every a' touch of fear"—and the alacrity with which be has ten. to conduct them to a place of safety—were faithfully and feelingly described. Mr. WARDN'S bCrice with Pomade could not, perhaps, be ex celled. It was a grand picture, in which the cone Meting passions were perfectly marked. Mad. liras gives way to despair—despair coiljured pp by the idea that " Pomade's dead." But the fiend is conquered by joy, when Pomade's ex istence—and, more than that, her constancy—is proved. Thr audience testified their delight at Mr. WI:IDE:a performance, sn this scene, by se veral rounds of applause. Miss E. BLANCHARD appeared fur the first time, as Zeroydo. She plated the character, on the whole, delicately. But her voice seemed, in many instances, too fee ble to give effect to Zoragda'a sententious obser vations. Miss BLANCHARD is, we ought to observe, of very tender years—sod her vocal organs, it is but lair to expect, will, ere long, assume a more de cided rod imwerful character. Baleazio Maley is a part, from the performance of which we have rarely derived pleasure. Mr. FOOTS, by whom it was last night personated, forced it out of the back-ground, and, by the feeling which pers veiled his performance, imparted. to it that imis oortsocr, which, from its situation its the drama, it ought to command. Mr. BUSIONLL'S Dada was al sically amusing—and MN. LI*TON, as Atrom, *Hog very sweetly. Mr. CONNOR was the Kiboulluck of the evening : he supported the cha racier Eltistely and humorously. Mrs. CONNOR was V wetly and interesting Pomade. The bowie was very full. The following is an extract (ruin a recent Ad. drew. of Mr. Coi.cLout)n to the Electors of %Vex• lord I'. , tios v.

It appears, however, now, that the Secretes! of she Lottery Offire entertains is different opinion, and has judged it expedieot that a decision should settle t h e point of its. legality ; accordingly, I assented to • verdict, having no wish to continue a practice which he considers ant allowable by the present Act ; hut tin plan itself wit Lamed wills a view to the benefit of the public, and I have letters from various parlour the kingdom speaking of it iu the highest terms ofapprobotiop.

Hitherto various teports on this subject have con curred in representing that a treasonable plot has been formed by the Royalist party; and the French Minister of Police, M. De Case, seems to have given • confirmation to this idea, by the arrests which he has directed in Paris, and by the articles which lie 1113 suffered to appear in the French Newspapers. A new light, however, is thrown on the transaction by sonic letters which have ap peared in a Morning Papers, signed " A Roy*ha," and accusing M. de Care himself of bein g th e real conspirator. This Koyali,t, who is well known, dist:milt. charges the Minister of Police with being the author of certain letters from Paris, which have appeared in the Private Correspondence of The Times, and which manifestly implicate the French Princes and the Noblemen about them in the charge wf TreJsun. It is a serious imputation on the good faith of M. deCase, to assert that he resorts to such underhand methods of injuring the Royal Family ; and, of coarse, that Minister must feel himself c.sllrd upon publicly to Fetid the imputation.— Esther, therefore, he will do an iii the must unequi vocal manner, or the public d will be led to conclude that there is UM much foundatioti for the swain 111 l s of the Gentleniun who signs himself " A Royalist." • See lioniug Pea of 111ii,136, 16th, 21.1, and ttil July. IMPORTANT DOCUMENT. We are happy to hear that the audacity of the pirates, who Imre during the last year so Much in. terrupted the trade of this country, under the pre tence of the hostilities between Spain send her Co.I • s, has at last attracted the attention of ou► Government, mid that orders have been issued to bring these offenders to justice. ‘Ve annex a copy of what we understand to be a Circular Order to our Admirals on foreign stations, on this important subject, and we have little doubt that they will not he slow in carrying these instructions into effect, as they have been eye-witnesses of the interruptions to which our trade has been exposed by these ma rauders, am! which we have been so often obliged to notice. Our readers will see that of course these orders do not apply to the bona iftle shops ol any State or Government whatsoever, but only to those who make a pretence of the South American trou bles, to carry on a war of plunder upon the trade of all nations, and particularly of that nation whose trade is the most important and extensive.

COURT OF CHANCERY, l A i ncosj e s .l 2 l, FRIDAT, CULT 14. . . STACK lued ROLL O. THE DIARQ U tI OF HASTINGS, Ems, and I:L•ItAUE., Sir S. RolitlLLe moved . , in this cape, on Thurs day. which we reported in I hi. Paper yesterday. Mr. HART, on the same aide, this day lud, he had no doubt but his Lordship would order the money to be paid into Court, without prejudice to any demand the trustees might have on account of their trust. The Noble Marquis being indebted in the sum of 404,004. which he had given hoods for, hr appointed the defendants, Mr. Clarage and Mr. Feat's, his trusters to receive the profits of his estates tO liquidate thaw bond debts. The trustees were not the sole agents of the Noble Marquis, but the joint agents of him and the creditors. The trust-deed wan executed in 1813, and the bond cre ditors had only re. rived one per cent. iu liquida tion of their debt. The deksidant Clarage had certainly nothing to account for, but the defetidiost Erato* had, as he was the person who had the pro ceeds of the rotates sold. The Learned Couoiel then went onto the items received by the defendant Foam', and the sums he had cliaiged as law charges. He was far from wiihing it to bethought that More charges were not accurate; brit what he contended for was, that the deletadant t‘inis had tint a right to retain ills coals or lave charges out of the trust fund. He ought to consider ti.r situation h e .1 00 ,1 in as a trustee, whose actual duty it was to account fur every farthing of the Irmo money, and if he had any demand on it afterwards, he might make an appli ca ti on to go before the Shorter, to have an ac count taken of what was due to him ; and more particularly was it incumbent on the defendant Evans to pay the money into Court, he had thought proper to mix with the situation of trustee his character as a solicitor, on *lnch account he ought to wish to have his deinstithi i n spected by the Master. Under three consideration*, hr had no doubt but hie Lordship would order the. 8,5001. to be timid iitto Court. Mr. WILLIS followed en the game ride. Mr. WETHERELL, Counsel for the Defendants, said, that the present lion was quite contrary to the rules and practice of the Court, and it was also culinary to common justice. The Deleindiont, Mr. Evans, was associated with Mr. Clarage in a truce to liquidate very large debts, which were due by the Margin. of Hastings, and it was necessary to obtain two Acts of Parliament, one for the exchange of the Noble Marquis's family vacate, for that of Ins wife's, the Countess of Loudon, which was to be sold far the payment of the 41111111 ilelttit. The other Act of Parliament was for the sale of aliother estate, but which had nothing to do with The oriu•liaolge of estates. His Learned Friend (Sir S. Ronoilly) did not think it necessary to go into t'ois statement, nor would he, only to slew that there must have been great expense and costs in carrying the Acts of Parliament and the sales into effect. His learned friend very properly abstained frond g • g ion the circumstances, for if he had, tho• sum of 85.00/. charged by the defendant, Evans, *mold not have been considered by the Court as a,. improper Nom considering the nature of the 11114111414 he had to perform, at the same time they tisk lout to pay the ruin into Court, nut leoivieog one sholhog in hand, and without the chance of receiviog a shilling except the Plaintiffs thought proper to co iiiii wisce a proceeding in the Master's Office, which was at their optiots. As to the circuinstanice of Mr. Evans, the trustee, being a solicitor, no person would have undertaken the trust that was not a solicitor, at least no priv -4 !ite gentlemen would have undertaken it. His learned friends had (ingot that Mr. Evans had put in an answer to the Plaintiff's' bill, on which he had sworn that nut only the sum of e,5001. was due to him, but u much larger sum. The LORD ( . 111ANCF.1.1.0R—" Have you any ob. jecto iiii i Mr. ‘Vroherell, that the bill of particulars of Mr. Evoinier charges should be delivered to the Plaintiff., and io the mean time that this Illation should stand over fur ten slays ?" Mr. WETHERELL..." No, inc Lord ; bin I beg to mention that there were two ilectls executed, and M. Adam, the particular friend of the Noble Maiquis, with another Gentleman of equal sespeciability, were by certain clamors appointed arbitrators, as to the siectssiory expenses, with the power of taxing Coats." The I.OaD CIIANCELLOII-" It is a common thing that a man of busii:ess should be appointed a trustee in so great a bu►iness a■ this, and it was perfectly right that arbitrators should have been ap pointed, and I will say that it WWI a necessary pre caution, at the same time this Court will interfere, if uecessary, where a person holds the two situations of trustee and solicitor. However, Mr. %Vetherrn, we must not 'wets hard ui Gentlemen in these situations, for 1 am astonished that any Gentleman could be found to take on himself such a trust." %Ir. Evaus It war actually forced on me, my Lord ; I sin now ten thousand pouods out of pocket on account of it." The LORD CHANCEI.I.OII" I have no doubt of it. I would rather it war on thati me.

The LORD CIIANCELLOR" Do it iii • fort night, or a. 011011 US you east." Further consideration postponed. JUDGMENTS. HILL v. ot.tvEu and OTHERS. The LORD CttINc6L4UR It appears to me, Mr. Roupell, on looking into the papers in this case, that the only question is, whether I should have such an affidavit as I have mentioned, that the Defendants do not know where their another is, or have taut any concert with her. It i s said, M r . Bligh, that this question was put to rest when a former hill was tiled in this Court, and that the Plaintiei afterwards proceeded in the Ecclesiastical Court to prove, that the soother of the Defendant., Oliver., never had been married to their lather, hut that the proceedittett were alierwards given up, and that the Plaintiff allowed the bill hers to be d.sonissed fur want of prosecution. Then how can SOU call MI me now to allow that ►uit to be revived?

The Magistrate was of opinion this ease did not within the intestine of the Act of Pam liamesit. This, ever, dot not satisfy the Inspectors till they had ',Titres( the case to the Commiseiotters, which the Magistrate lowed. The Prisoner then proposed bringing Mr. Phr to prove his engagement with him, and that he was the he represented himself to be, and left the Office for that pose, leaving his Luxes as a pledge fur his return. The PS lAUlltr returned to the Office, sud the Inspectors, and the Solicitor to the Hawkers and Pedlars were lendauce to meet him, when a full investigation took before Sir Nathattiel Conant and Mr. Beckett. It was noticed the short time the Prisoner was absent since he left the office to go to Prestot-street, and the by insiuuating that he wool imposing upon the Magistrat e however he explained that flailing he bad taken a hackney coach, which cost him bs., and he ierodured a letter, si-- by Mi.

The Solicitor to the Hawkers awl Pedlars Office objected to receiving the letter produced by the Prisoner as evidence, as he did nut know Mr. Phillips, and there was nu per present to prove it was his hood writing. The Magistrates, after desiring the clauses of the Am Parliament ender which this complaint was proceeded took a very extensive and liberal view of the whole which they considered of great ithporteoce to trade. They were of opinion, that the defence of the Prisoner, supported as it was by Mr. Philips's letter, was quite as good as the in which the charge had been brought before them. It had k farmed contrary to the Act of Parliament, which directs, persons stopped under this Act, shall be given into time tody of a constable, who is to bring him before a Magisti whereas, the Inspectors had brought hire to the Office w out any authority.
