. HAYMARKET THEATRZ. The comedy of Kale a Wife and Have a Wife was bpi night pe►furmed-..the character of Lees by Mr. WARM a gentleman lately •attached to the Bath Company, and, for some seasons, a very great favourite with the Bath 'audience. That attrftea6a, in patronising him, in encouraging his incipient Oruro, evinced, as they aid is crowding to witness the tragedy of Fazio, it solidity of judgment, which comintrisous could lint shake, mid an accuracy of taste, whir+ hypercriticism could I.oi drpreria►r. Mr. 11'SeDit'll features are v. re handsome. His countenance is strongly mar ked. The face oval—the forehead high—the nose aquiline—the eye dark and piercing. In tigure he is tall and genteel—hut his limbs ere leas symmetrically formed than those of II 111.10 destined :o play the herb and the lover, ought to he. Let him console himself wAli Atenswe's beautiful apostrophe— " Miad, whirl demi. bear wham earth and The liviuc l'uoiliain in itself contains beatsteons and sublime: There, baud in band, sit paramount the Graces." Mr. Waane has tubed—and arguing from liis I tat nightie performance—looking to the trepida tion consequent on his first appearance in tom glois.....end in a character in which Mr. KEMBLE, Mr. KEAN, Mr. TERRY, and other actors of NM nenee, have gained great honour—that mind is WO common one. He played the part vigorously. There was, at times, a little neglect in the un der-acting—but, perhaps, that may be accounted for by the novelty of lois situatiou. Occasionally, too, and indeed it struck us as being Mr. 11' A Roe's chief error, there was a rapidity in his declamation, which the occasion did not warrant. When Leon is agouieed—when he is torn by paseion—when tie finds a nobleman, who ought to protect him, basely thinningl the meutie of his dishoisour —when he prays that the husband's curse sit my descend on the bead of him who attempts to invade the litieband's honour —here indeed the words liould be uttered with the force and swiftness of the thunderbolt. But, in the remonstrative parts of the character, violence, not strength, should be laid aside. Expostulation should assume a stern, but not an imphilosophical torte. In one or two scenes Mr. W A RDE was too vehement. He is a young man, mid gate too much scope to the fiery feelings of tooth forgetting that Lt. 071, all.perfect in honour- Ode ss utiment, as he is described to be, must, front Ilse very nature of the scheme into olsich lie hail euterril, and, from hie conduct towards the latter esid of the play, have had the most perfect mastery over his passions. In the earlier scenes of the drama, those in which Leon ibersossibtea the fool, we thought that he did not throw a sufficient portion of simplicity into Ibis looks snot manner. It is clef ficult for a mats with a very ietelligent courstembocr, mind with great sentences of mind, to do this— but such lithe test of a great actor. We have now mentioned what we conceive to be the errors its Mr. W A arm'. performance. It is equally, per haps inore necessary, that we should touch out his excellencies. There appears, in his performance, generally, a vein of strong feeling, which. its it seems to, flow from his heart, appeals forcibly to the hearts or to% auditory.. Ills voice, natturelly deep and sonorous—full and musical—is modulated with great ,kith When lie is most rapid, you lose not N word lie utters—and when he deliver* a sen tence _slonly and impressively, the car is tie.. lighted with the rich harmony of his voice. Ile treed+ the stage fairly and gracefully. His ac tion is almost always free and appropriate—though perhaps lie . uses his : right hand too much. In three most peculiar end trying situations, we were greatly pleased with his performance. First. wlwit with temperate manliness, Leos gives Norge ritta a bust that he is not " the fool she takes him for"—next, when in defence of a bus loincl's rights he draws a husband's incubi against the Duke—and lastly, when, toisviticeil that lie has, by the force of virtue. charmed his wife from her " vile intending.." With their scene, we were greatly struck ; they were indica tire of no common or - der of genius. In the first, there was a modest firmness, a decent seistentious of manlier, sufficient to have won over any other woman but Margeritta; in the second were dist played a holilsiess and spirit well euited to the noble quarrel in which Leon was en.,,oaged—iii the thirst. were observable a delicacy mid gentleness, the con stant compaiiions or true valour. Mr. Waarle, speaking of Ins whole performance, acquitted him self very ably—and was Ito 11111 l red with it reception the most flatterilig. Mr. JONES, 99 the Copper Captain, caisnot be too highly praised. Ilia transi tions front joy to grief—and from grief to joy—as he learns alternately that he is and is uot—that he is not and is—the master of a flue homes., with orchards, and groves, amid fountains, " appertaining thereto," as the lawyers have it. were exquisitely tudicrotts. Mrs. Ccovest's Estifania was excel lent. She was particularly great iii the scene where *lse turns the tables on her " man of copper" by the production of the sham jewels. The farce of The Agreeable Surprise followed, in which Mr. Lteroo, after a long absence front their hoards, appeared, for the first time, in the character of Lingo. tie gave the dialogue with iatinite humour ; but, when he attempted to *Mg, some of t h e deities, whose names he had pro f:toed in the course of his performance, 'test it;witist him, and hp literally endeavoured to sing " without a voices," a circumstance which the sit theiter noticed Ist no very pleasant mansber.-11rs.

Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY stated, that this WWI a motion on the behallof thePlaintift, for an injunc tion to restrain the Defendants from publishing certain letters which were written to the Defendant Pritchard by the Plaintiff, Juicier the following cir :umstances:—The Plaintiff w•is the relict of the ate Mr. Wm.

During the time lie was at school the Plaintif corresponded with I on various ;objects, I particUlarly as to his religions and nioral condstict ; and on account of the Planitiffrefusing to consent to some rrqueit of his, he bad threatened to publish the letters, which could only tend to hurt Plaintiff's feelings. He wrote her (the Plaintiff) • letter to that effect in lay last, and she was confirmed that it was his in tention, by an advertisement which appeared in one of the Daily Newspapers, of the 1411, of July, viz.

But what I want to know is, whether there iv NO instance of an injunc. tine bring granted where the letters were not out of the possession of the person they were addressed to ?" Sir SAMUEL ROMILLy--" , Certainly, for in the case of Lord Chesterfield an injunction issued to iestrain Mrs. Sunward, the mother of Mr. Stan- Hard, the natural son of his Lordship, from pub lishing his letters."

KITTY JENKINS, otherwise REDDING, a Minor, and a Ward of Court, by her next friend, her MOTHER. V. Major General SHARPE and OTHERS. I'he SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved, that the Master's report in this case might he confirmed. He stated, that the Plaintiff, the infant, was en titled to a large estate by will, but the testator had maile the provision fur her on condition that she and her issue took the 'lame and bore the arms of Redding. 'lire Defendant, Major-General Sharpe, was also entitled to a large fortune in Scotland, but it was covenanted by the testator, who bequeathed isi:n the fortune, that he and his issue were to take the name and bear the arms of Sharpe. He had proposed for the Plaintiff in marriage. anal she hail given her consent, and the Defendant had sent vapors's for s marriage settlement to the Master, setting forth that he was in possession of 5.500/. per 000000 um real estate in Scotland, liable to the proviso we have before mentioned, and that lie had also 800/. per annum from the interest of his per- Banal property, besides his pay as Major-General in the army, but that he could not conform with the terms of the testator's will leaving the property to the Plaintiff, that of taking the trained Redding, as lie would be liable to forfeit his own estates if lie forsook the name of Sharpe ; and on his making an application to his Royal Highness the Prance Regent, he had granted that the Plaintiff should hear the name of Redding after her marriage, and the Master had reported that he thought this license was sufficient to remove all the difficulties. Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY, Counsel for the mother of the infant, stated, that she had no (Objection to the Master's Report, if the license granted by the Prince Regent was sufficient to secu►e the estate to the infant and her issue; for the estate was liable to forfeiture if she and her issue did riot take the name of Redding, and bear the arms. The estate of the Defendant was in a similar situation—and the question their was, how the issue of the marriage, could bear the name of Sharpe and Redding, as they could only take by bearing one name. The Master certainly, in his Report, as it related to the marriage settlement. had made u mistake, as it only allowed the Plaintiff a jointure of •4001. a year by the way of pin-money, out of her estate ; at the same tame he gave the Defendant the whole estate, although he was not to take the name of Redding. lie (the Learned Counsel) merely submitted those objections. not as objections of the mother to the marriage, but as his own, standing as he dill us her legal adviser. The LORD CHANCELLOR—" Has it been usual for the Crown to grant such a license ? There is amerething on my mind that Serjearit Hill's lady had such a license."
