"•-• t rA. ..p • t ., A to-f: t I THRATRES: DRIINT-LANt. Last night was performed at this Theatre a new o pera, entitled, A Tale of other Times, or Which is the Bride? The overture, which although not re markable for either brilliancy or sweetness, was loudly encored, is the production of Mr. Bosot A, who has already obtained so much distinction in the musical world. The songs, which are supplied in great abun dance, are the joint production of Mr. Boscii A and Mr. T. Coons. The plot is none of the most interest ing or intelligible, and is spun out to a most tedious and unnecessary length : Segismund ( Mr. Braham). the reigning Prince of Lithuania, ravished with the accotints he hears of her charms, is deeply enamoured with the benoteous Phedora (Mrs. Austin), a Swedish Princess. But Zumirski (Mr. Cooper), his former gaardian, uses all his endeavours to ■nbstitnte his daughter Oswena ( Mrs. West), in her stead. In order to accomplish this ambitious project, he resorts to every species of deceit and artitioe ; ■nd fer greater security, she is carried off by some ruffians In t►e genie° of Zumirehi. But just as the nuptials (tribe Prince and Os% ena are on the point of eon pletion, the fraud is discovered by the intervention of old Caroletein ( Mr. Terry ); and Malodors is restored to the arms of the Prince The plot is obscurely conducted, ai.d most imper fectly developed, and is crowded with subordinate charcters, none of whom seem to have any connexion with the main story. The dialogue is heavy and in flated, nor is the tediousness of the scene relieved by the introduction of a single agreeable incident. Per haps, however, the lovers of harmony may think that these disadvantages are surmounted by the' many beautiful airs with which the piece abounds ; some of them certainly are entitled to a high degree of praise, and so powerful was the impression which BRAIIAM created, that most of his songs were rapturously encor ed. He was in excellent voice and communicated the most exquisite delight to all who heard him. Some very pleasing airs fell to the lot of Mrs. AO"- TIM, which she executed with much delicacy and sweetness. The daughter of ZUMIRSICI af forded little opportunity for the talents of Mrs. Wear, but she gave to it all the interest of which it was sus •ceptible. The rest of the performers, and Madame Veteran in particular, may justly claim their respec tive -merit in contributing to sustain for a season s production containing few beauties and many defects. Some disapprobation was excited on its announce ment for repetition, but in candour be it spoken, the majority seemed favourable. THE OLYMPIC. Torn and Jerry, iith the otherfiantertainments per forming with so much success at this Theatre, are to be withdrawn at hit. The petite-piece of love Letters, in which the comic talent of Mrs. EgERTON is brought. into action with great effect, in the part of Jacintha. She displays an unusual portion bf humour ; the audi ence are kept in a constant roar of laughter. The , favourite burlesque of the Two Galley Moon is one of the most amusing prodoctiltis of the kind we have witnessed for some time. The excellent farce of Cherry Bounce was produced on Monday last, and repeated during the week. The performers exerted themselves with much ability : the piece throughout gave general satisfaction. The house has been well attended every evening. F9lllo_ ABLE INY;LLIGENCE. The Marilnis of Salisbury has arrived at Hatfield from his seat, Aldborough, Sufolk.

THE NEW TIMES aim THE EDINBIIRWI REVIEW. • trlolll • COMMIT° 1 Of all the various modes of improving and purify , ing the manners and morals of this degenerate age, no one appears to us so extraordinary us the mode discovered and acted upon by the wise men of Britain in the present reign, or, more correctly speaking, in the reign of his M.ijesty's present Ministers. Nothing can be better calculated to convince mankind " liow very small A share of reason goes to rule Ibis ball." We have Tory writers defending the State by the circulation of doctrines subversive of every sound maxim of Government; and Ultra Loyalists uphold ing legitimacy by the promulgation of doctrines ex , actly the reverse of thou which placed the present family on the throne. All this is unspeakably per plexing. We seem, whedier from the supposed dearth of novelty, or whatever cause we know not, to be in ' vetting the old order of things. Solomon tells us there is nothing sew under the sun. In his time it might be so; in our time it is just the contrary. There seems to be nothing old under the sun. If a newspaper, the Times for example, attains to a degree of reputation which tempts the experiment, up rises a New Times, on the very opposite side of the hemi sphere. So it is in affairs of deeper interest—everything seems to be constructed on a new principle. The political and moral world seem about to revolve upon a new axis. Even the old alliance between Church and State appears to be dissolved, and matters seem of late to be arranging under an entirely new treaty. The sober, rational, orthodox Christianity of the old school seems to be fast wearing away, a race of Evan gelical rivals have started against the establishment, and Dissenters declare themselves to he the true Churchmen. In the affairs of State it is worse still. All the manly and patriotic feelings of our forefathers —all the salutary principles, all the sound doctrines of the old English Whigs, are pronounced by an apos tate order that has grown up amongst us, to be no no better than " privy conspiracy and rebellion." These new Whigs, however, as they are pleased to call themselves, are in-fact neither more nor less than old Tories—the old friends of despotism with new faces. The same preposterous spirit pervades the Government as guided by those Ministers under whose wise-and provident administration the country is—what it is. If any publication, for example, ap pears, pregnant with the profanation of all that is holy, and to which it would, consequently, be desirable to give the least possible publicity, it is forthwith prose cuted into notoriety ; its worst and most corruptive passages are condensed into a charge of libel ; and that to which very little attention would otherwise have been excited, is floated over the kingdom through every channel of the press*, and made to spread its contamination from oue end of it to the other. Even the hired tools of Government seem engaged in the same crusts& against commOn.senae. The New Times, for eme,is clearly employed in the same mad conspiracy against public morals.. What proof of this can be stronger than that furnished io its labour ed article of Wednesday last, on the French writer, PA awft, in which an attack, as footiOsielid feeble as; it is mean and malignant, is made"on'ttte ketinburgh' Review. The Reviewer, while pursuing his able in vestigation of the comparative exc►lleace of English and French poetry, proceeds thus :—" We have no thing to set against La Fontaine, the most unique, and, with the exception perhaps of Moliere, the most original, of all French poets. Nor can we honestly pretend to find in the lighter pieces of Prior, Swift, and Pope, any adequate counterpart to that great treasure of light and graceful poetry, poesies legeres, which is to be found in Chanlieu, Gresset, Gentil, Barnard, Dorat, Bouller, Parny, and the more care less productions of Voltaire." There is manifestly nothing in this passage that could excite any peculiar attention towards either of the writers here named. The reader might indeed ad:eire the solid and discriminating judgment of the writer of this article in the Review, but he would certainly Dot rise, after the perusal of it, to sally forth in search of the poetical productions, good or bad, of M. PA RA Y. But the writer in the New Times is thrown into a state of the utmost trepidation. He affects to be alarm ed for the morals of the public of Great Britain, male and female. "We cannot but apprehend that some readers of the Review may be very innocently in duced to purchase the poems, and perhaps to put them into the hands of the youth of both sexes. To prevent, as far as lies in our power, the danger of such an occurrence, with regard to the productions Of the infamous and detestable PA RN Y, we feel ourselves under the painful necessity of adverting more particu larly than we could otherwise have wished, to his principal work, The War of the Gods." The curiosity of readers of both sexes is thus roused, and their attention is pointedly drawn towards those writings, after which, but for this stimulant, they would never have inquired. Having thus created, as far as in him lies, a longing inclination to peep into the prohibited pagesof this French poet, he proceeds to unchain again the fury of his wrath against the Northern Journalist:—" That a Reviewer in this Christian country should so much as mention the name of a wretch thus monstrously wicked, with out warning his readers against the poison of his works, is, in our opinion, a most shameful dereliction of public duty." The only reply to this canting rhodomontade is, that" our opinion" is a very absurd one, and that it would be advisable to get "our head" ♦ Last number of the Edinburg! Review, p. 416. t We said yesterday we wield nut mention the name, he• cane we•would not excite or direct cariosity towards each blit our correspondent so effectually presents the 1 antidote, that we cannot object to the men' ion of the name. Besides, it is indispeweidole to the perspicuiiy and forge of a listrong and deouire ergnmeat.—Enstun. shaved, that we may indite hereafter with more cool oess, and be absurd with more moderation. This Journalist goes onto lament that the name of PA aN x is mentioned without an accompanying disser tation on his works, which distinguished notice would no doubt have the effect of bringing them into request. " In reading," says he, " the Ediribnrok Review, we are told nothing of PAKNY, .but that his poetry is ' light and gracefel,' we select it to improve the taste of our innocent offspring, and we taint the purity of their souls for ever." Paonto tots! No doubt it was in very bad taste, nay, a most heinous immora lity in the Edinburgh Review, if he chanced to advert incidentally to the names of half a dozen French poets, that he did not, if there chanced to be any thing impious or unchaste in the writings of any one amongst them, select the choicest of his impurities and cull the strongest specimens of his infidelity, in order to preserve and purify the morals of the rising' generation I It wasa sad omission certainly, and one which parents and teachers have great reason to de plore. It is, no doubt, worthy to be wished, if this simple Reviewer should at any time have occasion, when treating on the subject of the ancient school of painting, to chilled) , the most distinguished of the old masters, that he would lay before its juvenile readers of both sexes, in distinct detail, the subjects of whatever coarse and indecent sketches they may at any time have made, in order that they may never be presented to their imaginatio:l, and that they may have a list and description of the indecencies they are to overlook ! This, to be sure, was not the course pursued in the moral education of our forefa thers. But we are now in the new school. " New things," as Minim rays, " in a new world." We will take our lessons, therefore, from the New 7'imes. This trusty guardian of youth, male and female, carefully informs them, should they per chance to be ignorant, what are, in his • opi nion, the publications of most note in which an impure imagination may indulge itself with the best zest; where licentiousness spreads itself forth in the most captivating colours, and where blasphemy comes best recommender?. The want of a proper index of this description, during their tender years, is deeply to be regretted. • " Let not the public," says this new philosopher, " slumber over this evil. It is daily growing and threatening. We will only mention a few recent particulars. " Lord BYRON'S Cain has been closely followed by his Vision of Judgment. " Cn aLI La has advertised twenty different publica- tions, all directed against CH RISTkA N ITY. " VOLTA n Pucelk has been translated into rng lial. The bookseller, for his own safety, has struck out some of the grossest passages ; but itis impossible that such a work should be otherwise than detestably wicked and obscene. " Several other obscene French works, such as the Memoirs of Lauzin, Louver's Novels, &c. have also' been translated; and it is to be observed, that they are published by the very same iirdividuals who circulate the productions of the seditious and blasphemous press." Let no youthful readers of the rising generation hereafter affect ignorance of the existence of these works, or where they may be procured ready trans lated to their hands! Not to have let them into this secret would have been a great dereliction of public dig, 1 To have suffered them to remain without this most useful intelligence must no doubt " have tainted the purity of their souls for ever!" In imitation of ' this pure and profound example, we hope every writer, who in future adverts to the wealth anall splendour of this great METROPOLIS, its charitable : institutions, and the industry and benevolence of its inhabitants, will not fail, per contra, to put the yoasy and profligate upon their guard by furnishing them with a short extract of its most distinguished houses of female resort, and a list and card of address, by way of warning, of the most attractive and beautiful of the C'yprian Corps, whom, in the hey-day of their passions, and amid the dissoluteness of their own Now Times, it would be most discreet and advisable to avoid. It is with mingled feelings of shame, grief, and in dig-nation, we state that a Clergyman, named Milles. was yesterday (Monday) charged before our I)l4gii trates with an attempt,to commit anamstatural clime!

LLOYD AND OTHERS V. HORACE ST. PAUL, BART., AND °THEM - - The Loss C usit—ln this case a motion has been made fur 1111 in j uuriiun to restrain the different parties from working certain mines, and also for an order to tepnipel Mr. Vernon, one of the Defendants, to produce certain deeds now in his possession. These applicetions must be decided on, very diflerent principles, and if 14 one which calls for the ' deeds be decided in the affirmative, it will not at all prejudice the other far the injunet;on. I shall confine myself at present entirelv to the motion, requiring Mr. Vernon liigivethe Plain tiffs information as to the deeds in his keeping. The De. lendania, Sir Horace and Lady St/ Paul, in their answer say, that they have not the deeds in their p 1 miessiOn, and, in a particular and limited sense, they have nut. Mr.lretaun ark mite that he has the deeds, but th en he says, that for parte ruler reasons (and I allow they are quite satisfactory), he has ahataiwed from opening them, end is diet , fore wholly ignorant of their nature. Thus, it repent's, that one of the defending parties cannotgive ant information of thew con tents, and the other party will not. The answer or the De fendants limit stales, that there is a custom of the country, which, I oonfess, I do not understand, by which the effect of reservations in conveyances of land containing coal mines may be avoided; and it further states, what I do understand, that if certain provisos be neglected, then the reservation is entirely destroyed. The answer proceeds to soy, that the particular silos where these reservations are made, arc, at the present - day, not identifiable, and that the defendants bare esercised a series of arts orownership over these lands for a great length of time. 'the ease of the lands is however In be contradistinguished from that of the mines; because some of the mines may be under the lands, in question, and others may not. When the motion for the iniuuction is argued, then it • ill he ascertained whether the Defendants have ac quired any title in bar of the Plaintiff's reservation with re spect to such parts as may have been worked, but it will not he affected. at all with regard to such as have nut been. Mr. Vernon, in his second nnswer, says he was a trustee, but is so no longer, lie has fulfilled his dirty as trustee, by conveying the estates to the trusters under the marriage settlement of Sir Illonsee St. pod . So far, therefore, as be has given app Use deeds, ho has denuded himself of his trust, but nut with reference to those which still remain in his bands. These ho must mature to those wire have the right to them, either to the St Paul's, if they hove the complete title, or to the Plain tiffs, if it should he retold that they have the reservation. Those who have the interest in the reservition have a clear right to inspect the steeds. With respect to coal-mines wbcro there is a reservation of the r:glit to work them, I have been a good deal migamei in the law upon such points, and I affil say, that it is great folly in parties, reserving a right to mines, not to keep counterparts to such deeds. But thou;11 circumstances may occur to destroy all interest in such reservation, y.et, until it is entirely extinguished, the parties entitled to it have a right to sets the deeds. It may oppear,on discussing the question for injuaction, that the parties may here done what will prevent a Court of Equity from interfering; but the Defendants, in their answer,' do not allege. any' Such acts. The point is, whether the Plaintiffs base a right to know if the deeds in the hands of Mr. Vernon contain the original title to each and every mine under each and every parcel of land. They ought certaialy to be put in a situation to say whether their Idiot is derived from these instrtiMents.or not, and whether thise instruments assist to determine the question ofidentity, about which so Much has gut upon the record. As a question between the St. Pours and the Plaintiff: I have no doubt at all; that Mr. Venom must inform the tidintiffs whether the .reserestiiin is contained in the instruments admitted to be in his immession. It would he•the better way that he should sive up the deeds, but perhaPs the more temperate to give the required informetlen. 14' he resume to do this, let the Plaintiffs apply to me, and! aid make in order for their pro duction. HITCH elt CII V. lIOLWORTII T. Thin was an application for an injunction, en the part of of the tenant in cop) hold, to restrain the Lord of the Manor from cutting timber 00 certain premises at Elsworth, in Cara • bridgeshire. Mr. Pepys, for the Defendant, stated that a bill had been erig.dally fi led, pr a yi n g the injunction, *Welt the Court grunted and Silent/netts directed the question, of ri,cht, to ue tried by s Court of Law. This question, it was found, had nut been decided by the verdict, aid it was argued, before the te el re Judges, who certified that the Lord of the Manor I had pet the right to enter as he claimed. The case now came before the Court 'sew, simply as an appli cation fur en injunction. Mr. Peps said that his client claimed thb right to cut down timber accord ing to the elision of the manor, leaving to the tenant suMeictit bates and ..lasers. it was a ease of great import ance to all the cep) mild estates iu the kingdurn. Although the Judges had held that the lenautjtail, en necessitate, the same right to the tree. as 01 the land (a Mask anti Seheyn's Reports), yettie must differ from them, and lierwus borne out by the a Isule'eurient of former decisions. The grant of the enpybeid is of the surface, and nut of the trees. Unreel there weremich exceptions in the original Brant, the Lord's nett remained unimpaired. There were several cases in the books which touched the IlliteStitoil, and they were all decidedly in his favour, w,lll a single exception, which was reversed in the 'to t em of Lords. The Learned Counsel proceeded to cite and examine the latex in point, and concluded with hi. reliance un the concurrent opinions of the Durand the Bench Ibr more thin a century. Mr. Pnerroe followed on the same side. Mr. t;axisortig, for the Plaintiff, ,said that the earlier authe ntic. were intro. veil in obscurity. The judgment of a Court of Law had put a eone'hicion to the question. The point in Men.'e and Selwyn (it was the sate, ease) was, not whether the Lord had a right to r,reraad colder*, het whether he had a right to cet down. The Court decided ikrhad no right to eater. There are many rights which we are prevented from cam ., ising. This ebsurdity is recognised try the law. He then exumined the rases relied on by Mr. Pepys, and couteud ed that they did out apply., Mr. FARRER on the Willie side. Mr. Peres replied.
