DRURY.LiNR wit:47RP. • The tragedy of Othello was performed at ihis theatre last evening. The characters were cast as before, Mr. KEAN representing Othello, and Mr. Yours a /ago. The audience was full as numerous, and the performance equally commendable as an the former representation. The excellence of KEAN in delineating the virtues and misfortunes of the generous Moor, has long been established ; but Mt. YOUNG'S logo is a character of somewhat a newer implession, and is marked by all•ths,se traits of original genius and refinements of art, for which this celebrated actor is so eminently distinguished. In his hands /ago is not merely the brae, plodding knave, but the skilful and triumphant villain, spreading &solution around him, and exulting with a savage noel hellish joy in the success of his diabolical machinations aid the dreadful misery he is creating. In the early contrivance of his plot, 1 the familiar and drunken scenes with Cassio, the sunsequent interviews with Othello, when he infuses the subtle poison, and sullen obstinacy after his I ultimate exposure, he was equally and completely successful. It is amongst the various proofs of Mr. Yousio's extraordinary powers, that, naturally grand and dignified, and formed, as it were, to represent exalted virtue and heroic bravery, he can deticenil with equal facility to the lowest and must grovelling character, slid paint the workings of the basest nature with a masterly hand. The " gentle Desdentono" fowl(' • most interesting and faithful representative in Mrs. W. WEST. TERRY performed Michael Couto, as indeed he does every thing he ottempts,with peculiar currect nest.. and contributed very materially to the effect produced ; lire much of the sneer., of every drains tic exhibition depends on the ability with which the subordinate characters are supported.

Mr. SIDEBOTTON seated there was au appeal in this case from the decision of his Honour the Vitt Chancellor in his Lordship's paper. It had been a motion made before his Honour to restrain the llohle Defendant from cutting down timber in Ellen rim Park. His Honour was of opinion that his Grace had not the right vested in him to cat down the timber, and the Noble Defendasit bud appealed from that decision. The Learned Counsel said he tuerety mentioned it for the purpose of sling that the appeal had been withdrawn, and to give the .Registrar an opportunity of striking it oat of his Lordship's paper. The LORD CHANCELLOR--." Let it be so." THE PORTSMOUTH CASE. The ATionnirt-GENERAL requested that his Lordship would name a day fur hearing this case. The LORD CHANCELLOR—" Looking at the interest of the noble individual chiefly interested, when I commence hearing the case I will think it my duty to go through with it, without allowing soy interruption." Mr. WITHSRELL, Counsel with the Attorney- Genets', stated, that they were most urgent that it should be speedily hoard on account of the attacks that had been made on the representatives of the noble Mr. SHADWSLL. on the same side, stated, that Mr. Heald, Counsel for the Countess of Portsmouth, on Saturday had said he would be ready this day to go on with the hearing, as he would read the offida. 1111, on the Sabbath day. The LORD CHANCELLOR—" Out of respect to the noble individual, and the other persona con cerned, when it comer an, I will go through with it.

Mr. FAingtou examined.-1 am a surgeon; about the middle of May the Platotiff ramie to me; I examined her shoulder, and found it was dislocated. If the shoulder be dislocated the fingers may be moved. At such a distance of time as six weeks from the accident there would be but little chaste of reducing it, though I should consider it right to make the attempt; the pain Is peat, and success uncertain, aud.the age of the patient would make a difference; gene. rally is a dislocation of the shoulder 'surgeon of competent skill could di it, excela is cases of extreme corpulence. I desired to see Mr. Campbell, but he did not come. Crosivexamiaed by Mr. SCARLETT.—I am surgeon of the London Hospital lf lbs shoulder mused up and down without in f pain I should conclude it was sot Melo. eared. I wrote to Mr. Campbell, bat Mrs. Beaton came to me sad told me verbally there wee so answer. Reexamined by Mr. GuansT.—lf a patient complaioed of her arm being out, I should sot content myself wish the patient moving her finer.. There are three species of die. location: this was the most common species of dislocation, downwards. I have been • surgeon twenty yearn. Charles Wood, a surgeon, examined the Platatirs arm after Mr. Edisgtoo had sees it, end found it dislocated. It was sock a dislocation as a person of competent shill would have discovered. If a patient c•splatu :A smelt • disloca. tion, be should examine the shoulder, and it might be die. covered, unless there were a great degree ef swelling sod extravaseied blood. Cruse-examined by Mr. Scuttarr.—This dislocation is sow obvious to the sight. Mr. Chevalier, • surgeon, saw the Plaintiff about the more time as the last witness. From the circumstances of ibis ease, a person of ordinary skill might have discovered the dislocatioa. Witness would not coolest himself o Hand seeing that the erns could rise to the hied, and under soy eircnsistaaces, he would think it proper to see the shoulder. A motion of the Angers is so criterion at all of dislocation If a patient complained of the arm, general!), witness should ask him to move his fingers. Robert Evans—l am a linen-draper; I saw Mr. Campbell In the mouth of July, told him that Plaintiff bad suffered meat injury from inattention. lie said he was snuck sure prised at it, and went with me to her house; I observed there that it was his duty to have examined the arm. Mrs. Ben ton told him that she had said her arm was out when she In saw him. He declared that he had never beard it or he should have examined it. Mr. Campbell called on me a few days after, and wished it to be compromised. Cross-examined by Mr. SCARLRTI , -.4 never beard a word about the Plaintiff coming to the Defendaut about other Waiting' and not mentioning to ham her arm. He expressed big surprise that the arm should be out. Re-examined by Mr. Cleave—This was in July. Mr. Goengr —" And be was surprised at the dislocation after Mr. Edinglon's letter in May." Cordelia Benton re.examigied —Mr. Campbell moved the sem about in two er three ways, bat lite did not recollect particularly the ways in which he did move it. Mr. SCARLITT addressed the Jury for the Defendant. He regretted that in this ease, which was of the highest impor. lance to the humour and character of his client, that the Jury had not beard the evidence which could have been given by the sister of tbe Plates'', had she been called. He world admit that there were three witnesses who spoke to the Fact of the Plaintiff having told the Defendant that her arm was oat ; but what possible resins could there be for the Defen dant not ascertaining a fact which was so easily ascertais. able ? He bad no apprehension for the payment of his bill, sod if there bad been • dislocation, his remuneration would have been increased by the attendance which would have been accessory is reducing it; but it appeared from the evidence of the niece, Cordelia Ilkeston, that it was three days after the ac cident before she observed any alteration in the shoulder. Now if the good lady who applied the leeches and administered the forersistion bad been called, she could have told the Jury whether, between the first sod the third day from the Rect. deed, any thing bad happened which might have caused that risible alteration which the niece bad discovered. His Lensed Friend (Mr. Gamey) supposed it • proof of iglu roue that Mr. Campbell bad desired the patient to move her lepers: bat that be had done in order to ascertain that the fore part of the arm had received so injury. He afterwards moved it up and down to see if there were any dislocation of the shoulder. From the evidence of the nephew it appeared, that on the Plaintiff first going to the shop of Mr. Campbell he was not at home, and afterwards the nephew was snot admit ted; but he (Mr. S.) thought it was plain that she went to coltish him on a delicate subject, and did not wish the young man to be present, and that she never mentioned her are at all en these visits. He (Mr. Scarlett) could not call Mr. Doyen?, the partner, for he bad been made a Defeadant. If be called any of the inhabitants of the pat ish to speak to nothing, the general skill of the Defendant, it would avail for that was not disputed; neither was his hurnsoity called in 'welkin. When at the end of the three days the steelier was discovered to be out, why was not the De fining seat for? For such as omission he could not lettemeet, except by supposes% the Plaiatiff's sister bad AbIIORID she could doctor it herself, without the expense of a surgeon. if the sister hod been called, and bed de• Oared upon her oath that no subsequent accident had hap. Jointed, sad so other person had been called in, he (Mr. • rtt) should have said that it was a most extraordinary Base, bet Mr. Campbell meet take the consequences ; but mien fibs honour and character of • professional man was st dike, all the evidence possible ought to be produced, and be did not think the Jury bad been fairly dealt with, when the -sitter, who could have given such satisfactory testimony, bad been kept back. The surprise which his cheat bad expressed when Mr Evans called upon him, was not, as his Learned Friend supposed. occa mooed by his hearing that the Plaintiff's arm was out, bat because blame wag imputed to him which be was cunstious of not deserving. The LORD Cities JUITICI summed up the evidence to the Jury, who footed a verdict fur the Plaintiff—Da singes 180/. VESEY V. AGAR, ESQ. Mr. GURNEY, fur the Plaintiff, said this was ea action brought by the Plaintiff, a yor and civil engineer, against the Defendant, a Geminates of considerable emi nence at the Chancery bar. The Defendaut, who had an ' emu. at Kentish Town, bad bees engaged is a tedious , coarse of litigation with the Regent's Canal Company, dur ing which the Plaintiff's services had been devoted to the Defendant, not only in ying, drawing plies, &c. &c. bet in attending the different trials as a segues. The De . Irritant had, in fact, adopted those very charges which he woe disputed by including them in his coals to the Regent's Canal Company. He (Mr. Gurney) should call witnesses to prove the reasonableness of the charges, which would entitle him to their verdict for 2801. Witnesses were then called who proved the Plaintiff's case. Mr. Scasegrr addressed the Jury for the Defendant, and stated, that be should prove to them sit express coutract by the Plaintiff to du all the business at the rate of one guinea • day; and he bad, according to his own account, been em ployed eighty one days, for which the Defendant had paid him 1001., which he (Mr. &erten) thought mere than suffi. Ment. la the accoant delivered by the Plaintiff there was a separate charge for plans, and the charge was again repealed under the bead of so many days employed in drawing plans. The Learned Counsel then called Mr. BMus, who was the agent of Mr. Agar in 1814, and he proved employing the Plaintiff at the rate of a gamuts • day. Oa his cross-examioation be admitted, that if Mr. Agar , Lone CSANCILLOR—" Be it so." COURT OF RING'S BRNCH, Wierranwmft, MONDAY, DtClllllllllll 9. HOST V. NEWRY.

Since Saturday night the greatest alarm bag bees excited at the west end of the town, in coneequesee of the discovery of • senile/man in the &repeat's*/ Leer, Hyde Park, with bill throat cut in a most horrible manlier, supposed in rave been done by robbers, as no properly wee (mead epon him except oue bad sixpence, a pair of spectacles le a case, and a pocket comb. There wee a pool of blood about thirty yards from the spot where he was found in the river, and drops of blood spun the ground all along that distance, as if he had been dragged thither. This was the, cause of the discovery, and the river was dragged, whets the body was foetid about twenty yards from the shore. There was a deep cut across the deceased's chin, sod his knuckles also cut, which indicated that he made considerable resistauce. There wari• dreadful gash on each side of the windpipe, but the jugular vein was not touched. He appears to be about sixty yeses of age, WY a very stout powerful man, fresh co lour, sad well dremel, in • dark frock coat, black silk waist coat, light coloured kerseymere sdlellclothee, worsted stock ings, high ankle boots, sod gaiters; bat there was nothing about him that would heed to • discovery who he was. Information has been given to the Coroner to hold an in quest this afternoon open the body. Lord DORMER had nearly met with a fatal occi dent at Grove Park, since pheasant shooting com mruced. DYKE, the game-keeper, discharged his piece at • bird, without observing his Lordship, who was approaching in the direction in which the gun went off, but was concealed from him by a large tree ; part of the contents of the gun lodged in his Lordship's chest, but we are happy to say, he is mildly 'teaseling, and is deemed out of danger. Wistlsor b.rpress.l We have the pleasure to find that the decision to request the High Sheriff of Yorkshire to call a county meeting on the subject of Parliamentary Reform, and the invitation to other counties to follow the example, has had • powerful influence upon the country. Already fifteen or sixteen of the leading counties of England are ifs motion, sod we anticipate that there will on the next meeting of Parliament be an effort more general and aimult•- neous to favour of reform than was ever before wit rimed. On former occasions it was too much the practice to act iu castes. There were the Patrician Reformers at one time, end the Plebiae► Reformers at another, but now these distinctions are in • fair way of being merged in the general name of Eng lish Reformers. Already the Yorkshire requisition boasts the names of • great number of leading men in the county ; and before it is presented it will contain the signatures of several hundred free holde►s, which number might, if it was judged ne cessary, be easily swelled to as many thousands.— ( Leeds Mercury. STORM IN YORM.--In the night of Thursday last we experienced • severe storm of wind, snow, and rain, which continued till four or five o'clock on Friday morning. The following, however, was the principal mischief occasioned thereby :—A part of the fine spire of North-street church was blown down, the stones of which were forced, by their weight, through the roof; several of the large trees on the New Walk were forced up by the roots, and some few of the chimnie• in the city were a little damaged. A rattle-snake was killed lately by a negro man belongsng to AMBROSE KNOX, E•q. measuring five feet two and • half inches in length, nine rod a quarter inches in circumference, and having sine teen settles. This enormous reptile had crawled very near the dew of the negro (whose cabin was sear the woods), where his children were playing in the yard, when they accideutally discovered him.— American Paper.)
