II " • These fee* admissions are now reduced to • less number than dust)." DRURY-LANE THEATRE. The tragedy of King Lear was performed at this house loot night. Mr. BooTH sustsined the prin cipal part, as successfully, at the least, as on any 'former ocei.ion. His Lour is a piece of acting which possesses very considerable merit's, and ma nifest., its very numerous instances, both a deep and strong conception of the feelings and passions by which the character is supposed to be influ. cored and imitated, and the more difficult and rare power of communicating his own emotions to the audience. Mr. BOOTH generally pourtraye very expressively the pangs of nature, and the agonised feelings of an injured father's heart, but in representing the combination of the same emo tion; with the lofty indignation and the haughty re. e•rtittin•nt of wronged and insulted royalty, he is not so happy. Among other causes which might be assigned for this, a striking one is the limited compass of voice which Mr. BooTH has received from nature; it is scarcely adequate to express the tones of authority and command with due firer, without being strained into a harshness soil (11 , 11011:411Ce which offend the auditor, and dis tract fns attention from the sentiment. But lie re ceived the most gratifying testimonials to the merit of hit playing in frequent and well-deserved up. Waw.e from time audience. The part of Edgar was supported by Mr. COOPER for the first time. His figure sod deportment are well adapted to the re presentation of time generous, brave, unsuspecting youth; and there is no part which this Gentleman could undertake to Which he would not bring large portion of judgment and talent. But allow. ing this general, praise, we are obliged to coolers that Edgar did not please us so much as the preceding characters in which we have seen Mr. COOPER. For instance, isi the long interview with Lear, wader the disguise of Ala Tow, his Manner struck ma as too subdued and tame; at least it is far snore so than that of other players whom we recollect in the same pas sage; sail Imitates it May beisaid in favour of the latter, th4t a &ivied is ripely to be more noisy and boisterous than a real madness, as a cloak for the deception.

QU REJOICINGS IN THE COUNTRY. HULL. NOVEMBER 13. THE QUEEK.—As soon as the fate of the Bill was known here yesterday, a general change was visible in almost every countenance. The gloom of disaffected despondency yielded to the smiles of honest joy ; and 4, TVie Queen is acquitted !" " The Queen is acquitted !" was the salutation of all who met. For, much to 114 e honour of the King's friends in this town. they never went the length of not allowing that the Queen was an injured and must unfortunate woman. This 'domino the merry bells announced the peaceful tidings to the public, and we understand that various dinner slid supper parties are funning, with the view to celebrate so important an event. It gives us no little pleasure to find that the joy enattirrsied on this occasion is nut malignant, amid that nothing is to be rpprcheuded from the insulter in ‘vhich all parties propose to ex press their sentiments on an occasion so interesting to the nation at large. On the news of the Qoleeti's victory reaching-Eye on Saturday, a subscription was immediately set-on foot for the purpose of rejoicing; the bells rung till eight o'clock, and the Corpuration grins continued • firing till a late hour at night; the joy in the evening wa, much iucra•ased by meny of the inhabitants illuminating, amid a baii:l of music playing round the too is with torch lights.

The pleasure with which it was received was perceivable in nearly every countenance. The bells of several churches were immediately rung, and an application signed by a great number of the most respectable parishioners of Si. Peter's Maticuolt was also forwarded to the Churchwardens, requesting that their beautiful peals which had so often rung on the defeat of our foreign foes, should now celebrate the downfall of the attempt made by our domestic enemies; but after a consultation with the high authorities, the request was denied.

It trot, referred to she Mater to inguige stood report, whether certain meadows formed it part Par of 11'yr-literate! -Ark, which was bequeathed by the late Duke of Nlarlborougli to Lord Churchill, for his life. The Master had reported that they dill f,rrn part of the Park. hut admitted that the (knee, on which he had funned his report, was ambiguous. Mr. 4t.r., lending Counsel for the Noble De. fellation, stated that this pivots's.' arose out of the will of the late Duke of Marlborough, and as than will had lotto so trcently before his Honour, it was not necessary for hint to state it. The Noble Tes tator bequeathed to his son, Lord Churchill, Wycha wood l'ark, otherwise Blandfo►d Park, in the county of Oxford, fur his life, with all lodges, build ing*, &c. iu the park, and all buildings and true. lIICIIt, without the walls of the park bounded by the river Eveoloale, and his estates on the other side of the river to the Noble. Defendant, subject in the appointment of a receiver. The question between the parties was, whether eighteen acres of meadow on the east sqle of the river formed a part of the park,and as such was devised by the Noble Testator to Lord Churchill ? on the part of his Noble Client he had contend, that a wall on the west side of the river was that boundary of the park, and on the part of Lord Churchill it was said that an old wall on the east sole of the river was the boundary; but the witnesses before the Master in support of the latter case only spoke of the park as it rusted a century ago; but the witnesses in support of the Noble Defendant's cast, spoke of it as it existed in inure modern times. The VIrE-CDANCELLOR-" The whnle differ ence between the parties turns OD the word bums duty." Slr. BELL 'timid it did, but what they understood to be the boundary was the river, ars stated it, the will of the Noble 'resistor; the Mager had reported that it only intersected the park. Under these con siderations he contended that the exception ought to be allowed. Mr. HORN 11, Counsel for Lord Churchill, said, that the %la.tc,'a report was correct, as the property devised to his Noble Client contained the whole of the park, which included all within the outward wall, as purchased from Lord Clarendon and Ro chester in the year 1751, and before the purchase was concluded a case was laid before M►. Wilbra ham, fur hue opinion, by the Trustees of the late Duke of Marlborough, and in looking into that cave it would be seen, that the meadow land on the east side of the river was contemplated in that pur chase; and in the will of the late Duke it is speci fied that he give■ the park to Lord Churchill as it was purchased from Lord Clarendon, and that this was the meaning of the Noble Testator there could be no doubt of, as Lord Churchill was in possession or between 4 and SOO acres of land out of the walls of the park, by no other title but what hr derived from this clause of the Noble Testator'', will, and hi. title had never been called in question by the Noble Defendant. The VICE-CHANCELLOR asked Mr. Bell it that was the case ? Mr. BELL said he did not know; he was not in structed as to that point. The N'icit-Ctt A NCELLOR observed. that it would be better that this exception should stand over until the next day of exceptions, and in the mean time NI:. Bell would be able to obtain more information on the subject. It certainly was a case, more for the decision of a Court of Law than of Equity. and lie would be sorry to decide it by any 'opinion of his. without the parties did not wish to go to the expense of trying an issue in a Court of Law. The inclubstion of his opinion at present was certainly liganist Loid Churchill, without other land., sitni lirly .disined, had passed to hint under the will of the Noble Testator. and if • single acre had. he dill vot see how a Court of Equity could prevent I trona taking the 18 acres in dispute also under the will.

Ile at last succeeded, but the Defendant declaring that he must then he cesideinned unheard, the Leaned Judge, in consideration, allowed him to begin again and read through the whole of his paper. In iridium, to dist authority he had that of the present Lord Chief Justice, who, in the cases of the King against Caddy, mid the King against IVerlderburn, had endeavoured to restrain the Defendants from improper topics, but lied made uo refertinee whatever to fines as a means of effect mg that object. It addition to those authorities, be was ',repined to contend on principle that more dangerous power could not be vested in a Judge, dims the power of checking a Defendant in Ina defence. by an accumuletion of lines. Ile did not deny she right of the Court to check con tumacy in a b rreuclant, but the proper mode was to commit the Defendant, and suspend the trial : he would then have an opportunity of seeing his error, and might make sulnoission, and have an opportunity of deliverin g a ll the p r op e l parts of his defence to the Jury. and might °loads pis segilittel, or at least he could not complain that Ina Iced *Ns not fairly and justly conducted. Ile could suppose a case, that such a Judge as its times past had exist ed, might be selemed by the Governineut to try a Defelidaut fur sedition, libel, or treasoos. The offesice might be merely a display of public spirit. mid the defence would naturally its.unie a bold tone. The Judge mills with the defence, and tines the Defendant 1,000/, and threatens, on a repe tition of the offence, to double the fine. The De fendant would then have to balance between the expediency of making his defence, and his temp ted rube and if he were a good man, and•happened to have a wife and children, be would smut hesitate, but would rather give up his defence entirely than involve them in penury. Should the decision of the Court esnction the doctrine, he would predict that from that thy ts bold defeoce would never be made. Ile had the highest possible respect for the Leanne( Judge who tried the e,ittle ; to snake that feeling reciprocal, he was sure there was ne inhere effeetual way for bins than to perform with all bold ness and spirit what his duty required. IVith all his respect for the Learned Judge, therefore, lie must infer from his having remitted the fines, on his charging the Jury. he was not esti-tied himself that he had the power which he had exercised. He knew that laws had been made rot the prevention of crime, and Mr. Justice Blackstone was almost enthusiastic so their praise, hat it was ll'oeltei daft trine to assign ponishmeut by way of preveetisil'ef alb a crime.
