Mr. HIALD staled that this wan the petition of the Aramenees of &Axil Jacksoe, • lassikeept, and of the hanhrupt, who claimed to hr ooe of she sett of kin • of the late Meekest of Norfolk, praying thit his Loyd ship would order Sir Eilsin F. Stanhope, John Pkr- RAMO, Motel Bore, and Mary his wife, to allow the Pe titioaers to examine the somata in the church of Hohoe Lary. and to inspect the coal's, and the plates on them.

In the f.mity earns in toe church of Notate Lacy are deposited the remains of John VtRCLIBOI Scodainore, and divers of his family and ancestors. *Jo inspeetiog the registers of the parish, it had been disco vered le ..soy respects that they were iaa to and oblate rood- It was ireperesou for she interest. of she Petitioesers title -ebbe should Sege acres. to the weeks, for she wpm of thilitierisig the mistral plates aod inscriptions en eles ttif- Sae, tend especially limee op the coffin of Joh,' Viscoret Bfwilamore. The Petitioners had made •pplicseiuo is the ir.cla r of she perish, and to the Chancellor of the Blihop of tee 'diocese, to allow the inspection, but they decliued to de to alllvout the consist of the represeutotives of the family. The retitimons had also applied to Sir Elwin F. Stanley, and the other patties, and they hod declined to comply with the saPfiralica• The Learned Cannata observed, the may defficelty he saw in menting the prayer of the petition was, take epristisn whether his Lordship had the jinisdietion to order an inspection of she vaults; berme miler merely stabi les that Sir Elwin F. Stanhope and the other parties should not oppose the inapeetion, would answer every purpose. Mr. Heat and Mr. Winoirtm.o, Counsel for the more seistatives of the late Derbess of Noifoik, contended that three was set a slesoletw of proof of the petitit Den Jacksus, havlog any title, or there claiming nailer him—for the fact wee, that Sir James Scudsecore sever bail but two wins, both of whose same. were Mary, end all hls children were mimed in his will, which was dated the 23d of Feheuery, Idle, and were •Il described to he ander age, which could oat possibly have been the case if ihey were the deecendants s. of the first Mary, as she was buried in August, 1398, end the will was dated twenty yeses and a half afterwards. The teemed with of Sir James was the widow of Sir Thomas Bask, ; and Sir Jsmes, in his will, mem ioned hie soo n. law, Narwhal Baskermlle, aftd gave hint a legacy. The learrimee registry could not be found ; but it appeared spoil *Jolliet in the parish of Seseiniegmall, la the county of Berke, go as to completely identify this Mary to have bete the wife of Sir Thomas Baakerville, and afterwards of Sir James firudamoret--. 4 . Mary, daughter of Sir Thomas Throsktnom too, widow of Sir Thomas Bmkerville, &leftwards of Sir James &oilmen., honied 1635." It appeared by one of the deed. It. the Master's Oilier, dated 50th of September, 2a Markel. in the year 1646, that Sir lobo Sciedsmore, afterwards first Lord &ethanol'', led to pay 4011. to a trustee, payment to be made in the Hall of the Pam 'outage Hittite, at Senitiogwell, is the county of Berks, fur the purpose that Samuel Fell, the trustee, should pay that gem to the Molitor. of the lady Mary Scudamore, soother of the said Serials Seedemore, as it/eerie 'amnia.. ed, which deed was witnessed Is, Hannibal Baskerville. They, the Learned Counsel, coatended that the pretesee of the Petitioning, that they did not know who ibe mother of Sir :An Scodsmore watt, wan wholly unfounded, as it appeared by the deed which the Petitioner .1/schwa himself found eel is the Master's office, and took an extract of, which in itself wee most inemairovertible evidenee. They considered it the duly of their clients In resist the •pplientiee, as it ass wholly eafoneded and indecent, the Petitioners not ha. ieg abewn nay etwien to seek an impection; they therefore Veined ail Ms Lordship would dismiss the petition. Mr. HEALD replied. The LORD CRAWCFLLOR doubted whether he bad jeria. diction to erase the player of the Petition If he Wag to at, order that the representatives of the late Dui-hear of Norfolk were not to oppose the inspection, be was afraid it would not be understood by she V.car, or the Chancellor cif the Bishop of the diocese. As to the coffins, be sup paled they might leave them out of the qutettua at this Stem of day. Bet the plates oa coffins, or that had iwluefed to them, had often proved to be must iropor. seat evidence; fur iesisace, in she ease of • man of the lose of Barber, who died is the Strand es his return from she East Indere; his next of Ina were found, god the case deterneised on she eeidesee of • plate found in St. Clement'. church-yard. H. was clearly of opinion the the inspection ought . to b• allowed, bet be dad nut think the jurisdtcsion ills rested la him to order it. The title deeds were, boo tees, in the Master's office, and if he was to be Chancellor fat two handfeed years to come be would imposed them until the inspection rook place. He desired the laminae to stand over viola the next day of petitions, and thee to inform him what bad bees dame in the interval. tune. HART said leis decals did not me their own account object to the iseopection, hot they were fesrfol if they allow ed it without an order of the Court, it would be considered iodeceat to ibe countre.

Nothing further was seen or beard of the Prisoner until Friday, when Juba Mesyrs, aborusa to the Prosecutor, who had seen hiss at the time of his dulling to see the lodgings, and to leave the address, met him in Long-lane, and instantly charged him with the theft.

The Costa was not in the least distui bed, although he was clone to his bedside; if he had, there is wry reason to believe his life would have Fallen a sacrifice as the Count bad a loaded double-barrelled gun near hie bedside.

A few day, ago, la consequence of a trilling wager, the ful• lowing occurrence took place, which certainly rivals the rek bested fest of Wm. Ts.II.

But the English pronunciation presents a • ... ...A • - ...be those who are able to follow new diticutty 1 » ryes ar.. „ a conversation, how few are capable of understanding the lan guage of the pulpit, the bar, or of the siege. What effici, therefore, could a dramatic performance in English peeled to produce ow an audience whose ears were greetid merely by monads conveying so image? Bat to this first ob. stack was joined * prejudice against English stints, for we knew that our Forsch performers are not publicly adasittid in laatios. All our readers cannot be rightly informed on this subject, we will iberefore presest to them the following correct *talcums. of facts:— Feeech actors are only tolerated in Imadom; they cannot hire a theatre, and appear in a compaey ow any public stage like that of Drury-laue, Covent-garden, the Haymarket, Ate.; they are obliged to take refuge to the Argyll Room's, which I Mfg a mite of apartments, and not'a public theatre. Mosey is not received at the door: the performers cannot so trounce their entertainments by mesas of bills, and the au dience is admitted uoly by cards of invitation issued by a committee of rich and titled individuals who defray she ex. peeves of the perfurnmace. The Argyll Rooms cannot, therefore, be compared to a theatre, sad is Pavia can only be placed on a level with a little theatre of the Rue Chaatereise. where none but private performances take place. Our dancers, it is tree, are admitted to the King's Theatre, but probably this happens because there is no speuktag, and because io a ballet it is impossible to distinguish a French from an English or an Italian dancer.
