THE.ITRES. •ATtl4tttT. Th e new comedy of nee Points f Late. was List night repeated. Every 'sewage, at a ll likely to give offence, has been pruned away—end, thus altered, the piece was extremely successful. The scenes of eqaionee—the quick succession of L a ughable incidents—the broad pleasantry of the th a h, gu e—the lair-breadth 'scopes" and ones• pected captures—excited much laughter. and no less applause. Mr. Ltseox's Faciiik is one of the most mirth-stirring performances that can be imagined. His looks and his extraordinary tone, when he is visited by feelings of compunction. would call forth the laughter of a modern Dame- CRITUIL Mr. TERRY'S Precise. cool, caustic, and esiculating. is an able performance--and.his prin. pal runner, Satellfee. could not have a more perfect representative than Mr. J. RUSSELL, whose comic humour is chaste and natural.— Mr. Miasma. and Mr. Jones, as Lord Lipsorish and the Hun. Mr. Hairbraia, were highly MO*. ing. Peregrine Chubby, in the hands of Mr. TOILELT, whose fame in the delineation of Cockney characters is perfectly established, elicited laughter throughout the evening. Mrs. thrbily and Miss Sarah Iphigesia Scrihbk were spiritedly represented by Mrs. DAVENPORT and Mrs. the... The latter was eminently successful in touching off the affectation of literary acquirement. by which s' The Blue Stocking" fraternity are distin guished. The 'comedy ass announced for repetition, amidst the general plaudits of the audience. SURREY 'ERSATZ". Last night • new set of entertainments were per formed at this theatre with great applause. The opeiiiiig piece was a melo-dramatic twirl's, in three act*, founded on Dr. SuoLlarres novel of Roderick Random. The selection from the original was bluer, bur well dramatised, and the parts chosen nod arranged so as to produce excellent scenic effect. The principal incidents are, the ship wreck of Roderick Random (11r. NuNTLET)—his meeting with Mime laifely (Miss Hou.amP)—shis introduction to Idaho. the mad poetess (Mrs. floooxv.s)—his fuh g in love with her niece Nar cissa Ilextnicmir)—hin rencontre with Sir Ti mouthy nicker (tip. LEONARD)-11w otriocipal scents on the Continent with Strap (Mr. FITZWILLIAII) hit imrae discovery of his Either (M r.O IPFOID)••- and uncle (Mr. GATTIE)—and the anal marriage of Roderick with Narcissa, and of Strap with Patty Williams (Mrs. Otiose). Frion these materials a good deal of sprightly dialogue has been embo died, and the spirit and genuine humour of the original in no part suffers from the transposition. HUNTLEY', Roderick was an exact representation of SNOLLIITT'S coldest; and good-natured rake, in all his vicissitudes. FITZWILLIAN'S Strap pre sented a genuine display of irresistible comic his. moor—his dresser, were excellent. GATTII'II Leer teaaat Botha% was highly appropriate—ha was the plain, rough. honest-hearted 'tailor that he ought to be. Mrs. ORGEIL'S Patty Williams was the lively dancing waitilig-maid which the author intro& d her 10 be—moil the pretty old liiirrestisig features of Narcissi (Miss Rost,. ikon's) would have derived more spirit and ani oration if they had been enlivened with enough of waireil to have strengthened their expression, and diplaved their energy. There was little of the coyness of lovers play iu her manner, though the 'unaffected simplicity of her action was not without tenderness and interest. Mrs. BROOKES was, a, usual. extremely humorous; her poetical Bight" were good, and the mock heroic was admirably pourtrayed. There was a little caricature in some of the parts, but perhaps thin is mumble, from the nature of the subject. The whole went off with v eit eclat. False Armada's and Ifairsphry Clinker followed, with their usual success. The scenery acid decoraiions were extremely pietnrerque and appropriate, and the theatre was so crowded that the half-price folks fared but indif ferently.

After breakfast, the guests promenaded the gardens in different duce. tions, or seated themselves in tents, until four o'clock, when a cold collatioo, comprising all the delicacies of the season, intermixed with hot soups and veni son, was announced iu the Orangery, a noble build ing of the Doric order, 100 feet in length, situated in front of the Italian garden; here a table was taste• fully and splendidly displayed, and plates set for 100 persons.

At nine o'clock the hull. room, walks, mini alleys lending to it, and gardens, were illuminated with patent and variegated lamps, which had the most bewitching effect, particularly the French Sower-garden, which is a little square enclosure, bounded by a high hedge of evergreens, mid laid out in a parterre. with • boils slid jet diva in the centre. surrounded by bermes and arches of trellis work. and which thus arrayed in artificial light. was not inaptly termed a fairly lend.

Ou Thursday afternoon the Yorkshire Grand Jury were discharged. The foreman, Lord Las- CILLIS. on this occasion, stated, that the Grand Jury had inspected every part of the prison, with the good order of which they had every reason to be satisfied. He wished also particularly to state. that they bad made the most minute inquiries of each of the prism er% sr to their treatment and comfort, and the result of these inquiries was, not only that there was not a single complaint made. but that every attention was paid to their comfort, end that they were treated with every indulgence which was gromiste s et with the emigre of their confinement. or which mould reasonably be expected iu a place of that kind.

The LORD CHA NUM 1.0R.'• This Cafe is of great importanceas far •- it concerns the pu blic, not so much on accoun t of its particular merit% us its vast importance, iss consequence of the qitestion it Meolves relative to the jurisdiction of this Court, •o 4 the right which his Majesty'. setsjects have of epplying to the Chancellor oat behalf of their rights paid liberties. The Liar Authorities bearing on the Case are many, soul very different from each other, owing to the different views taken of a particular statute, Car which rraaon l have gone through all tlw law books which 1 lisie beets able to find on the subject, with the greatest anxiety, and I can assure you I leave devoted myself with more than usual assiduity to tie consideration of the question. In Mr. Justice Blackstene's Commentaries, I find an account of Jellkv's cave, the famous Landon Li. veryman; but with all due respect to that eminent Judge. I sun iodine(' to think the cave has not beet; detailed with lies usual accuracy and luminous judgment. There was a dell'eartice of opinion he. tweet. the celebrated Lord lisle, and the no less celebrated Lord Chancellor Nottinglism—the lit ter contendtaig, that no such power as granting a writ of Habeas Corona, by the Act of the 16th of Charles I. vested it. the Lord Chancellor; while the former war of opinion that the Lord Chancellor had such a power. But when I consider the time Lord Hale retired from his office of Chief Justice of the King's Bench, which was in the year 1675, and that lie died in 1676, 1 cannot but say that I perfer the opinion of Lord Hale, for certainly this eminent Lawyer had the fullest knowledge of the Act of the 16th of Charles I. In an recount of that trial of Jenks, which ass published by some of his friends, I and it stated, that an eppliest:ass was made its Term to my Lord Chief Justice Rains ford, for a writ of Habeas Corpus—but that Jule e refused to grant it. With all respect to the aniliness of this work, I must say I do mit believe the fact ; fur of the statute is basked into. it will give a very different view t.f . the matter. When the implicit io n wits made to Load Nottiughans, the difficulty his Lordship laboured under was, to Mill a precedent where a Chancellor had issued such a writ ice Vaal. time and no such precedent was found. With respect to the Curious case of Jenks, so much allud ed to it. the pleadings before me, and Indeed so well known to eyrie Englishinine I will now read from Lord Nottitigliatat's manuscript what took place on that occasion, and I will hereof:es- make such observations as I think necessary The election of Sheriff+ fur the City of L endon and Coutaty of Middlesex took place, as it always dues, on Midsummer-dity. On that day, in_ the year 1676, Mr. Francis Jeekts. a linen-draper. aced a Liveiyinan of London, addressed the Livery front the hustings in Guildhall. He compliiiird tie the rtrongret terms of the then existing grievances in the country, end implored the Livery to agree with him in a motion to request the Lord .Favor, who was then in leis chandler, to come forward mid join the Livery in petitioning die King for a new Parliament, and lOr u redress of grievances. This speech of Mr. Jenks dad not Nevoid with the feel nags of the nobler authorities ; hut, on the clearary, was considered seditious, on which be was arrest. ed.' I t h ick it necessary for me to state, that a very proper distinction has since that been amide between the Count sssss Council and what is gene rally denominated the Common Hall. The lat ter is only a Court so fir as ergarels the election of Lord Alayor and Sheriff*, and has seo right to es.. pect its Petitions to be intsenteil to the Sovereign on the throve ; and when such Petition* are pre. twitted to the (louse of Lords, they are •by that august Assembly only considered as the PetPions of those whose signatures are affixed to them. The Common Council, on the rummy, is a corporate body, mid as such had, its consequence of its hr lunging to the metropolis. a right to address the So vereign on the throti r. Having thought it eiecessury to say so much on this point, I will proceed with the Cease of Jeults. Being brought before his Mujesty Charles if. in Council, he was there told that he was charged with having in a tsp. bulent manner, and with seditious views, wailed. soured to stir up divers persons for seditious pur poses, under pretence of petitioning for a new Para 'lament. beaten(' of denying his guilt (4 it was said to be). lie, in the most presumptuous manner (a* Lord Nottingham says), persisted be was right ; on which he was committed to the Gate-house, its Westminster. On this point, before I proceed fur. ther, I will (tidy say, that a charge of such a mr. tine deserved great consideration before committal, whether such an offence was not boilable. When such a case as this of Jenks is brought formic', it ought to be quoted accurately, aid not on loose authority. But to return to Lord Naitiiiighion'a MS.—That eminent Judge stated, that all spa plication ass made to hint by a Mr. Wartluur, lie a writ of Habeas Corpus, on the /second Seal, and he directed that Gentlemen to snake his motion on the last Seal, that he might, in the tnran time s have an opportunity of consulting with the, twelve Judges, aced also of considering the case it. pia private-room. His Lordship said, that on co ttt it og into town ou foot from his country-house, to attend the Court, he was met on the highway by several friends of Mr. Jenks. who petitioned for his being discharged by the writ of Habeas Corpus, and even offered to become hail fur him This application was refused by lets Lordship, who observed, that It was a Ming improper place to make it, and that it was a captious proceeding altogether ; whit It a &aunt MICH siry, very forward, pressed the cause of Jenks with the pertness breu gal f rward tutor uey.—(4 lattgA.)—There were Lord Nottingham's words, however humorous they might •ppear to br. I differ from the opiutoe of Loid Nutting. ham, as that hod down by Lord Coke appears to me to be deserving of the Pi serious attention. Lord Notatighann must have felt himself distressed by the replication to him, and thought that the 'weer of wonting the writ had betas take,, away from loin by a subsequreit statute. lei the be ginning r f September, 1676, .la-eke applied by the teem,s of hi. friend* to the land Chief Juvece 4Jf tier King's Bench. for an order to remove him Irons tea Gate-house to the custody of the Shetiff* , ?; 4,1171. to is of tort us its titoos it Court, have of r rights 11 1 on the other, rticular ugh all I on the o i assure n usual tn.
