rFIEATRES. orpti-oousE. The ll2w ballet, called lad Rose, ox,/es Deguise weds, w hi c h was given here on Tuesday, was re. reute , l no tii.•tirday, is one of the happiest prodoc. %ions of the kind that this smolt, or indeed that :he theatre itself, has presented to the it. beauty consists in a certain simplicity, yet de licacy of design, joined to a felicity iu the execs:- non rarely paralleled. Monsieur and Madame poroar, the celebrated fiercer* from Paris, were : lie principal cl.arocters, sod almost the sole at. of the ballet. The lady appeals as. a ra4sc girl, simple and be,antiftif,, yet sguoraut of the proms of love: her sole care is the preser. 'main of a favourite rose, .which she ten is upon s „,l watches from morning night. ,Her lover, w ho is her superior in MIK, assumes different disguises, and tries various arts to soften her cold. and to teach her to love: Ilse possess i on of her favourite rose, as if to ret;ove a rival in..her affections, is another object of his stratagems., This is all managed with the utmost art : the reiervid toper of the girl appears to soften by slow degrees: lasecceeds at last in making the desired impres. rico; in tote moment of triumph he plucks her fa. ~eite rose from its stem; she becomes angry and 'Suns him ; as he pursues she snatches the rose from Itom, which he endeavour to regain : a long contest follows, till at length she willingly resigns to him the prize, the testimony of her affection. This action was all executed by the DePORTS, with the utmost ti:lelity to nature, to which the graceful evolutions of their profession, though in the highest 4legrre oritaureatal, were rendered perfectly subtler. viva. The house displayed a crowded and brilliant andiron. CONENT.GANDEN. A new ant•astic sketch, entitled " Cozening, or w . f.,' M a r Is. France," was produced oil Sotur shir mo i st * It is written for,tlie purpose of intro ducing Mr. VATS:a to the public in the lowest de ',mimeo of the drone—that of pure mimicry—and places him directly in opposition to Mr. —MATHEWS. w ho s e At Home has beet) attended with such extra ordinary +success. Mr. Vack:s supports the elm rafter of young Mutable, whose passion for his cousin Julia is opposed by her father, au English tradesman, who, though filled with a vast number hereditary prejudices eg,aitist the people of Frairce,i. obliged, by the unceasing representations of his sister, las eld prude, to visit their country. Yonng .Hula/,;• arrives at the hotel, we believe at Coil6iq, before his relatives, and millions to see his determines in put his powers, aid mimic, ►n remiisttion, in order to attain that object. Mr. YAI FS personates, in the course of the sketch, Ist, a French Chatnberlain--Vd, "a great tragic actoi," Mi. Yoursu-3d, " an actor of all %sulk," Mr. I 'Pr RRY—lab, " a noted wink," Mr. MATHEWS —sth, " a celebrated Emrich actor," M. Tattia —and firli, " a well-koown comic actor." Mr. EMERY. The success of Mr. _ ATEA was very greet—but, we confess, it would have pleased us touch better If he had triumphed in a nobler field. Mimicry, though we may laugh ist it fur the moment, is • contemptible as well as • damp-r -ill,. talent. It never yet conciliated a friend, but has created abundance of enemies. The public, paredoxical as it may seem, while they patrouiae, despise it—and, we believe, the greater number of those who hove practised it, discovered, before the end -1 their career, that it produced more than emolument. Leaving out of the question considerations with reference to the nature of the ♦ntertait)tneat, we must give Mr. YATES cre dl for is Treat deal of cleverness. His imitation of Air. YOUNG, though the lisp predominated a little too much, was excellent. Ile was also vety happy, when he appeared as TALMA. Here thee French :iciest is supposed to deliver a passage from Mac teth, in the manner of Mr. KEAN, Mr. liEstatk. :aid. lastly, as TALNA himself conceives it ought to he recited. The imitation of there three person. ages was uticominotily good. The sort of growl with which Mr. KF.AN generally commences the last member of an impressive sentence was most accu rately gireu—and, pieced before the audience thus at second-kind, the ridiculousuesetif thecustom was rendered strikingly apparent. Mr. YATES also re cited a saissa: t e frim a French play, in the style of TALN A, t% hirh was one of the most correct Unite times of the evening.. Perliape, on the score of mimicry. Mr. Mat news, " the toaster mimic of the age," has less right to expect lenity than any other mars in the community. He is, upon the Lee. l'ofjosis bar game. He cannot himself expect more mercy than lie has shewn to ethers. Atilt yet we were pained when we saw exhibited before the imitation of a natural defect, and of so awkwardness in motion, the effect of a serious accident. Certainly, Mr. YATES gave us a coin p!tte fac-simile of MATHEWS. Gait, look, action, mod utterance, were must accurately described.- 116 personation of Mr. 'TERRY, as the (free• and of Mr. EMERY, as a downright John Bell. was not equal to the rest of his performance. The sketch, or rather Ale. YATES, received the most umpialified applause. The opera of II Pluto Magic°, announced for to-morrow at the King's Theatre, has brrut get up at great expi use, and with great care. It is a work tiff superior merit, and excites great expectation in tlr fashiou4ble world. _ _ The firth audience will, in the course of a few dap, be delighted with the transcendent talent*tif Moor O'NEILL.

P.INORIIM4 OF VENICE. The l'aviireinia of Venice, just opened by 51eVtr/l.

The ills 'lnc.', like lira in the Fiero delightful tone, but the rich variety of the buildings, she crowded objeesr, and bustle of the scene, give the Venetian view muse at tract 1111 l to the general clamor spectators. The view is taken from the Piazza di S. Marco, winch combines the finest 11111•Willlik•fe in the hi...- ground, and the most pleasii4. ei. .c of distant, object's. T 1,.• apettatur is et) placed all to the au I lever►d view of the whole square, the Ducal Palace, and Piarallo, with a mi nate representation of the celebrated Church of Si, Mark, a structure as extraordinary in its turns snit architectural ',eugenicist, as costly in the materials employed iii its deco- Talbot. To give au additional interest to the Picture, a re presentation of the Carnival has been introduced. The Church of St. Mark, upon which the rye of the 'spec tator first falls, is a splendid pile of florid Gothic al chitecture, •intermixed with the must fantastic ornaments. The front is .0 mei of ten arches, five above mail live below; the lower ones are supported by two rows of columns, amnunting to *tl2 its number I some are of porphyry, other• of reed Ga lilee, sad the remainder of costly marble, all trophies of the Venetian conquests in Greece, Egypt, and the Holy Land. The upper centre are). is terminated by a colonial •i,latnc of St. Mark, and over the lower one stand the cele brated Grecian Horses, made of Corinthian brass, said to be the work of LYSIPPIA, which successively decorated the arches of AtouSTVS, DOMITIAS, TaAJAM. CONVTANTIMII, and Bo• AAAAA r. The outside of this magnificent Church Jo curiously cased with mar hie, and a number of ricli Mosaic pictures decorate the arches. The view frum ibis building of the church of 81. Giorgio Maggiore, ill! the Oland, is extremely beautiful. The transparency and stillness of the water is admirably painted—it has not that slaty hue which we have seen in some panoramic views, hot has all the air of nature. The distant view of the Tyrolean Alps, is extremely grand, and the aerial OcroPerilve " I ""C ed with Oral skill. The domes and spires which meet the eye in rvelr direction, produce a magnificent effect, thought the variety and sparkling decorations of the objects at the Car nival, and the rich colours of the tapestry from the windows, wheu contemplated fur any length of lime, rather fatigue the eye; some sif them might have been kept down to ad vantage. On the whole, this is the mast pkasing panoramic view we remember to have seen, and conveys the most com plete knowledge of the variety and gay magnificenre of the edifices erected in the meridian opendour of the Venetian Republic.

PROJECTED NUISANCE ON THE RIVER THAMI7c, ..hlr.Wrritearth stated, that in a cause in which the Al turney General, at the relation of Mr. Hodges, we. Plaintiff and Mr. Johnse', the Niuyur, a n d CUM any of the City of London, anti Earl Grnsvemor, were Defetsdanta, he had to address bit Lordship on a subject of material importance to the public. It was a CAM its lids he hail yesterday applied to the Vice-Chancellor for an injunction, without success, The present applictioun was a renewal of that motion, and, in fact, was an weal to his Lordship from the Viee.Clistt; cellor's decisiota.—The grn . end upon which his Honour had reformat the mutton wills, tout it was Provide and without nutlet., and that a" it was to stop • public improvement by preventing an embankment on the River Thames, his Honour thought more harm would be dune by deriding in the absence of the adverse party titan could be effected by doing the act which was atoned to be p led. The Learited Connael observed, that the case was this :—Opposite Millbank, which was nut many hundred yards from the place where he had she honour of 'desolator, there was a curvature or indent ure of the river Thames, which, making use of • larger team to describe a smaller ft•lljt.Cl, he would call a hay of about 30 or 40 feet depth. If a straight line was drawn along the river, it would leave on the right hand this bay. There was a street leadiug by the.side uf the names, on one side of which was Milbank-row; and on the other a wall, by which the Thames was parted from doe street. The Mayor and Communally of the City of London, as conservators of the river Thames. with the concurrence of al r. Johnson and Earl Grosvenor, had formed a plait to fill up the hay or in denture f r the purpose of an enthankment,oso which to erect wharves for the reception of all the filth in London, to be thr re deposited, and thence to he shipiwd to all parts of the commit y for manure. l'he groomd upon which he 'objected to Ws being douse was a public grouleti, He asse r ted, t h at the City of London bad no right to make touch an embankment ; and he asserted, that she sail and boil of the river did tint helm: to the City of London. To whom it did bo.lurog. ho would not discuss, for his propne we", that the Theme% being a public navigable river, tire right of the public to the enjoyment of all the advantages it affurded could not tie taken away. He insisted that the beach of the river which was covered by the high tide, constituted a place where yes sets or barges were. entitled to be moored--a place where every man Who na7igated • boat or .vessel .bad a right to moor it. If a straight line was drawn from the extremities of this curvature of the river or bay, and the proposed ern bank:neat made upon that line, the cornsequence would be, that nu lighters, boats, or vessels of any kind could have the protection the place now afforded them. This was the pri mary grouud of the mutton; hut there was another indirectly connected with it. The •ffidavit of the Relator stated, that lie lived in Milbank-row ; that he was an inhabitant of one of the houses upporste the baj, and that the object of the embankment was to establish a nuisance, by osakiag it a place for the reception of all the filth and of the City of London. With respect to the right of the Mayor and Com munally of London to consent to such ass embankment, be denied that they had soy. They had a species of jurisdic tion, called a Court of Cuuservancy, whose dirty it was to prevent uuissuces on the river Thames ; but what was now in contemplation was to create a nuisance rather than prevent one • for he should certainly call it a nutsauce to have wba;vra erected on the rivet Thames, where it ought, foe the rowel purpose of security lathe navigation, to be open. lie should routesol, that the City of London hall no more right to the roil and beach over which the water Mowed than any individual in the Kong's domitoons. Having thus given the outline of the rilge, he would add, that some time since au indictment had been preferred against the. Defeudinta, iu order too prevent the proposed plait from being carried WO effect. That indictment would have been tried • year ago, but is consequence of its having been preferred, the De filidacia decided from pursuing their scheme. Recently they had maimed it, the Defendaut Joliomos ac'ing in concurrence with the comae rvalors of the river and Lord Grosvenor, who had large property in the neighlmorbood, and who probably clainwd the soil and freehold. Notice had beer) given to try the iudictment, but it could not possibly come on till after the 31st of May. It had seemed to him, when he ap plied to his Honour the Vice-Chaoceltur, that although the Court was cantitous in granting ex-parfe •pplicatiosos, yet that this was a case in which the suspension, even of a public improvement., fur a fortnight, could not be at. tended with any inconvenience. If • the Court did not interfere, the Defendants would, before the indictment could be tried, have carried their design into effect, and have completed a perpresfare ms tke river Thames.— There was no part of the river Timmer, where the pressure of the water was stronger, and where the spe cies of accommodation afforded by this bay was more want ed. The Relator bad a right to say to the. City of London, you si e committing a dereliction of your duly if you stiffer this embankment to be made—donbij so, if you take a Rae or courideration for your consent ; he was entitled to say to Mr. Johnson, you have no right to take a lease; and to Ufil Grosvenot, that although the soil might belong to him, he had only a qualified title, and that it was the bed of a na vigable river, which he could mot displace. Notwithstand ing the deference he entertained for the opinion of the Vice- Chancellor, lie thoeseht this wee a case peculiarly within the jurisdiction of the Court, and hr every respect proper for its interposition; he hoped, theriturc, his Lordship would nut hesitate in granting the prayer of his mutton, which was, that an isijittictioon might issue against the Defendants, to retrain them foam proceeding with their intended project. Mr. %mon and Mr. TIMM followed on the same side. • The Lotto CIIAWCFLLOR said, ift , quite agreed with the Vire-Chancellor, that is frequently happened where au tutor nohow was moved fog a bill being tiled, and sat affidavit Mating the circumstances of a case, that the Court was led to du an injury which it was timidly in its power to repair; bat, on the tither hand, the Clam tottld only act upon the athibmits, and if it was modal, the pnldic had uis right to blame the Court.

It WAS an action of ejectment brought by Lord Jersey against the Defendant, to recover the possession of ceitain estates of which Ise is lessee for•lives, situate in the colony of Glamorgan. The question fur I uneilleration was one of gees moment, not slime to the parties immediately •hefose the Court, but to other Malividuale bedding lease" wailer o ic. cumstances precisely similar to those connected with tlw case of the Defimilant. The property at ieene is renovated at nut leas than live hundred Ili:memo! wunds! which, should Lori Jersey stoce:ved, will ultimately accrue to hen.. The mat ter at i.sue arose upon • deed of 'Atonement executed iii Jo I ) , 1:57, upon. the marriage of Miss Mansell, tau. htrr of bird Masse% with Mr. Verown, afterwards Loral Vernon. fly that deed certain powers were given for granting lenses ; and the question fur determination was, whether a lease for lives granted to Mr. Smith, was in cooforotity with those powers. It appeared that there, were three descriptions ref leases referred to iu the settlement: first, leases for lives; secondly, leases for a term of 21 years; and, lastly, leases of mines. With retard to the first, it was provided, that in all leases for lives a power of rewutry Atonal be rise, veil to the reversionere to the event .of nonpayment of rent. With regard to the second, the power of re-entry was ec served in the event of the rent rentaioing unpaid tor twenty, eight days after the stipulated periods for nit to:lowan of the rents; and with regard to the third, it was Id% ; it th e dist-retitle of the kssor, to grant' leases upon the usual covenants apelicable Jo mines. 1//plea Ilse first of these power: it was that the present litigation arose By the lease granted to Mr. Smith, for, three Item in 18(13, to aboV/Cr of rewniry was reserved to the lessor Of rewersoutar, in I.VillSll the reel was not paid within 15 days miter the expiration of the period apponated for the payment of therein, and pro. aided no sufficient distress could be made (the rent rearm d was 31. per annum). And it *as contended on the part of Lord Jersey, who had since come into the property, that this lease was not iu conformity with the power directed to be oe. served in the settlement 'if loth tease; and, therefore, host that lease, as well as every other how executed in a similar manner, was null and void The questom came on to be tried, anal wag afterwards argneal in the Court of King'i Bench, sad the opinion of that Court was in femme of Mr. Smillia right. From thence, as we have already stated, the matter leas brought into this Coon, and, after able ergo. metne f Ike Court now asacinbJed 4o give their kodgment. The Judges present were, the Lord Chief J oilier of She Com mon Pleas, the Chief Baron, Mr Barn. Gotham, Mr. B woo Wood, Me, Justice Park, Mr. Justice Buirough, and Mr. Baron Darrow. Their Lordships delivered their judgments seriatim., when Mr. Peron GAnnow, Mr, Baron WOOD, and Mr Bat •'. GRAHAM, declared it to he their. opinion. that the potter stipulated in the settlement bad been eitfficiently observed in the lease of Me. Smith. The clause of re.eutry. pre. scribed by the settlement was general, nod therefore m4;lit fairly tie presumed to mean such a power of re-entry as was reasonable, and as the .discretlais of the lessor as weidae the inference of law would permit. They, therefore, considered that the judgment of the Court of King's Bench ought to be affirmed... . . The CinerJusetee of the Comeove Pt.r.•9, the CH/Er Belton, Mr. Justice PARR, and Me.Justier the contrary, gave it as their ovation, that, is the power sit pedaled by the settlement was its inelfclear and specific, and had 'unbent observed, anal 911 a period had been appoint, il in the present lease fur re-entry, which the settlement had, never contemplated, added to tio.. fact of that period keno,: clogged with at additional impedimenteat the re-entry of the reversioner by the provision as to the dieteent, fie [cage was certainly tout in conformity with the power stated in Vie settlement, and therefore was void. Under these, cirenia• etanceie their Lordakips thought the joalgoticol of the Kion'a Bench must lie reversed. Thus a utejulity Odle Coot are to favour of Lord Jersey's nebula. The point bas yet, see toodecetand, to undergo the tenske. of. another tribunal, us the parties lundid carrying it to tee House or Lords.
