" HENRY HALFORD, " WILLIAM KNIGHTON, "ANDREIV HALLIDAY." After the Physicians had left the DUCIWAq, and issued the Bulletin, they proceeded to the KING, to make a report to his Majesty of the state of the Dm.liess and ti infant Princess. We are sorry to collect from the tenor of the al►ove Bulletin, that the state of the infant's health Is such us not to preclude all doubts respecting her life. The health of the good Duchess, however. *rents to be 141 well established, as to remove all cause for anxiety._ _ . _ The Duke of Sussex came to town, for the first tune since his indisposition, to make his respectful impii,ies after the Doelies, of CI.

In it short nine a gre t number of prisons assembled, and proceeded to the end of the tow ii, with a determi nation to draw his Royal Highness to the Inn; not arming *l twelve o'clock, the multitude in a great measure withdrew, except a great number s,lio had taken their station near the Inn, deter mined to wait the at rival, which they did, and bailed his Royal IfighlitPS with shouts of acclama tion. In the morning the hells rang ntsrrily; and sit the time it was expected his Ris)srl Highness would proceed on his journey, on mintellse COU. course of people assembled to show their attach ment to the Royal Duke: the horses were pre. vented from being put to the carriage, and his Royal Highness was drawn by the populace, pre ceded by a band of music, to the end of the town. The air was rent with Ituzzas and shouts—" God Ideas the Duke cf Gloucester ! the friend of the Queen."—" Gloucester fur ever ! the friend of justice, the friend of injured innocence," &c. As the procession proceeded up A bingdmi-street, Ins "Royal Highiress pressed to have the horses put to, hut was answered it was impossible they could, as the people so much admired his private and public character, especially on a late occasion, that they were determined to draw him out ut town, and would have drawn him still further, had he not been in such great haste. At his departure the enthu siasm of the people was exceedingly great, when his Royal Highness most contlescenditagly thanked the inliabitsots of Northampton for the honour they had done knot, us it was a mark of respect that would not be erased from Lir memory. hits Royal Highness's journey in the country will afford him ample opportunity of svibies.ing the abhorrence of the people at the unwarrantable prosecution of the Queen, Hint experiencing the loyalty and attach ment to the Royal Family when acting with justice, :nal in conformity with the spirit of our glorious constitution. During his Royal Highness's stay at the George Inn, every possible accommodation was rendered by Mr. Higgins, the master of the inn, of which his Royal Highness expressed himself highly satisfied, arid said he niter had been better accom modated at any ion.

Last night the second rehearsal of Nonni°, the King's scholars, took place before an audience as crowded, and at the same time as distinguished, as we ever witnessed. So great was the press of visitants, that a full hour before the curtain rose every seat in the temporary theatre, not reserved for the heads and conductors of the seminary and their friends, was occupied, and it was then found necessary to close the entrance for the admission of ordinary visitors. A great num ber of individuals were excluded, and remained stationary till the arrival of the Head Master with hit friends. But after these had passed in, all efforts to keep the doors closed were fruit less. A multitude forced through all obstacles after them ; the pit in consequence became filled to suffocation. and various individuals were obliged to abandon their places there. Those, however, who remained, were amply compensated for any in convenience they might have sustained by the rare excellence of the performance. We do not in the slightest degree overrate it when we say that its ge neral merits were superior to those of all the thea trical representations, with very few exceptions, at which it has fallen to our lot to be present. Every one knows that in our regular theatres, though the leading characters may be, and usually are played with great ability--there is yet in the per somiticii of the inferior ones a lamentable defi ciency of skill and power commonly obsetvable. In the exhibit . which is the subject to our re marks, a single tart could not be selected which had not is proportionive quantum of talent assigned to it. The uniform correctness which was the re sult. pre-eminently distinguished the exertions of the juvenile amateurs. The accuracy with which they lecollected their parts. and the purity and precision of their enunciation of the different mea sures of which TERENCE'S hues are composed. are also models %lath we might recommend to the imitation of " players whom we have seen play, and beard others praise." The three most unitising personages in the drama, two of whom are also the pinicipal agents in working nut the plot, Phormio, beta, and Doric), the parasite, the slave, and the hero, were etch placed with great felicity. Perhaps the representative of the last, Mr. F. STEQKI. was the geotleinan who must completely identified himself with his part. In the accuse with Pheadria, Antipho, and Gera, his obdurate professional inflexibility to the prayers of Pherdria, iit vaiu imploring him to delay the bale a l'amphila to the soldier, was admirably counterfeited. The philosophical gravity of his reproof of l'hedria— Adtun' to ease incugitantem style impudentem,lda. Ut iihaleratis diclis ducas me, ar meam duties gratis wds truly humorous. Ills retort on Antipho. ue cubing him of deceiving Pherdriu, was exquisite— --- Immo eoimvero Antipho hie me deeipil : Nem hic me bujusmodi '64130 ease : ego hone case Wilier eiedith. Both passages, and several others in Mr. STERKY'S playing, elicited bursts of applause. Mr. E. VERNON entered very successfully into the feel ings and spirit of Phortnio. His description of the pleasures of the table was a forcible illustration of the pursuits of a class of wen, who now exist, in the ancient sense, almost but in name— and his explanation to Gem of the term •• Cosa dubia, übi to dubiles, quid somas putissiniunt," both in the recitation and the accompanying moat Aigollicatit . IClOllll'9, indicated comic talent of no mean order. Air. fl. DO DGSO ST sustained Gefa with great judgment and considerable humour. The ecene oldie mock quarrel between him and the parasite for the purpose of deceiving Demipho, was rich in gennine comic humour. The lawyers were admirably support...l by INlessr.. EDEN, FAWCETT, and liaoWN. 11'uot of now alone prevents us from noticing the merits of the other performers. The theatre was graced by the presence of many of the fair sex. Among the noble and distinguished male visitors on the ocean tttt were the Dukes of Yogic and WELLINGTON, Sir Wet. GRANT, &C. KOSCIUSKO. On the 1616 of November the monument raised to the memory of Kosciusko was consecrated un the height of Broomlava, in the isrighbourhuud of the free city of Crakow. A better site could nut be chosen, our one more suitable to the hero—the defender amid victim of the cause of Polish liberty. This ceremony assembled more than 12,000 per tains of both sexes, and of every rauk. There might be seen there public tuntionaries beside citizens, monk' among soldiers, and every where the same spirit soil the same en. (hind:ism. After the funeral (allop, prenounced by Gen. Paskowski, the President of the Senate, 31. Stanislaiss Woiloske, deposited the written account, along with other documents, in a ell./11 vase, enclosed iu a tin box, and the whole placed 111 a marble urn, was fixed in the cavity per. pared for its reception. At this moment the multitude of by-standees, giving: themselves up to the autmatiois of the sentiments tdh rloch they were in tietrsti (I, rushed toward■ the monument, each wishing, to preterits. the pious duty of throwing a handful of dust to curer the out of the Polish hero. 'rhea the mu,ic resounded the national sirs—"La Polonaise de Ko.cinrko"—'• La Marche de Doneheowek"— " Aur armies was ,firers!" On the approach of night the neighbouring heights were covered with files. At the the. titre. a piece suitable to the eveut Ici initiated thia patriotic day.—(Paria Paper.)

COMM OF CHANCERY. LomeWs las, TORIPDat, DIMINBILR K. OPERAMOUSt. wrnias V. TAYLOR. The LORD CUANCILLOR+" In this cise of the Opera-house I Inive seen the Master relative to the subject of his taking the account between the par ties, and I understand from him that it is not Mr. Taylor who objects to the Master's clerk taking the account, as is usual, by receiving all docu ments which are not disputed by the parties, for the purpose of handing them op to the Master to be passed ; but that it wits the objection of his legal adviser, and for having done so I have no right to imply blame to hint, as it is certainly the Master's duty to take the account between the putties; but he (the Master) is of opinion, that if this he in sisted on the accounts will never be gone through. He iv, however, ready, if the documents that ate undisputed are sent to him. to go through them himself in as short a time as in his power, consistent with his duty to other suitors. and if this is not com plied with on the part of Mr. Taylor, the Master will give up several hours in the day for the pur pose. I therefore consider it my ditty to order the parties to attend the Master on what days lie may appoint. and for as many boors on each day as he may think proper; soil that the solicitors of the parties shall 111)% charge their clients more than the usual sum fur attendance set the Master each day, the same 114 if they only attended him for an boor at a time: for I am determined that the rules of the Court shall not baffle the justice of the case." Mr. Hata, Counsel fur the Plisiiitiff--" Then we will take that order. I consider it but justice to the solicitor for Mr. Taylor to state. that it was not lie 'Jima to go before the Master's clerk, but his client." Mr. HEALD Said, it was sworn by Mr. Waters' solicitor, that u Icier front Mr. Taylor wa. pro duced to the Master, refusing to go on with the accounts before his clerk. The LOILD CHANCELLOR—" From my conver sation with the 11Iaster the impression on my inind is, that it was the solicitor who refused; but if, on further inquiry, I sin mistaken, I will he happy to apologise to the solicitor, for any thing that may be deemed harsh in what has fallen from me." AN APOTHECARY'S BILL. LORD AND OTHERS V. WORMLINGTON. [For the circumstances of this case, see this Paper of Saturday, the f)th instant.] Mr. HART stated, that lie was requested to ask his Lordship to appoint an early day for giving his judgment iti this case, as his client, Dr. Jones, had been much injured in his character, as a pro fessional man, by a report which appeared in the New Times newspaper, purporting to be an ac count of what passed on the hearing of the mot' before hi; Lordship. lie was sorry that his Learned Friend (Mir. Horne), in opposing that motion, had thought proper to go further back in the case than the verdict of the Jury, as the whole question turned on that, instead of doing, as he did, by stating several items as the bill of Dr. Jones against the testator, which were not grounded in fact. It had been highly detrimeutal to Dr. Jones. The blame was certainly not to be at tached to his Learned Friend, for having made the statement, but to those who inisiastructed him. Mr. HORNE denied lie was misinstructed. What be had stated he had read from au attested copy of Mr. Hart's client's bill of particulars, and there was not one amongst the whole number of draughts administered by the Doctor to the testator, as he stated, that was not contained in the Doctor's bill of particulars. lie had offered to spew the attested copy to his Learned Friend, Mr. Hart, but lie had refused to peruse it. The LORD CIIANCELLOR—.'s I will give you my judgment in it on Thursday." Mr. HART said, that his Learned Friend had stated that Dr. Jones had charged the testator a guinea a visit, and that gentleman was ready to swear that he never charged a shilling for a visit to a pa tient in his Mr. 11ORNE—" That may he, hut his charge of one guinea for each visit is in the hill of particulars." The LORD CHANCELLOR—" This argument is unnecessary; l will give my judgment 011 Thurs.. day." BENSLEY V. PINNOCK AND MAUNDER. Mr. WETHERELL resumed his motion of yester day, to dissolve the injunction which had been granted in this case. 1t haul beet) sworn by the Plaintiff that the Defendants took between 4 and 5,0001. or.t of the Hew copartnership, to pay nit the tklito of the old one, and it was not deified, for it wee sworn that it was not only done with the privity of the Plaintiff, I►ut that his was the very hand who paid it to Messrs. Tipper and Fry. The old co- • partnership was indebted to that firm in the sum of 54001., a negociation took place between them and die new copartnership, and they agreed to re. duce their demand to 4,2001., which was to be paid by installments by the new copartnership, and the Plaintiff paid the first instalment of 1,5001. to them before the articles of partnership were signed by I • and the Defendants. He would ask, then, bow was third new fact, just come to the knowledge of the Plaintiff before he filed his bill, when it was an arrangement made with Ins knowledge before lie signed the articles of partnership? Besides. it was en arrangement in which he was benefited by reducing the debt of Tipper and Fry from 5,200/. to 4,200/. It was not denied by the Defendants that the 4,C001. brought into the concern by the Plaintiff went to pay this debt, but that it was his . own act, and the most valuable way of laying out the 4.000/. of the Plaintiff, as the firm gained in stanter 1,0001. lie wished then to know by what invention this'e4se of the Defendants was assimilated to that of Coles and Goipits ; and on this very point be would stand. although it was the main !must that the injunction was obtained on. All the pinning of the copartnership was to be done by the Plaintiff for his own profit, there was a list of the copyrights belonging to the Defendants in the deed of partnership, and there was also a covenant in it which provided for the extension of their stock. and its shoot a year after the partnership the num ber of books sold and circulated by the firm was double the number it was when the partnership was entered into. The Loaf) CUANCELLOI—.44 I see by the deed • .uii • . of partnership that the dad! of the old partnership Were grcater than the debts due to it ; can you ea. plain then what was to pay off the balance?" Mr. WettlEßELt. said, that what was thrown nut by his Lordship was his case, as it was the bargain made by the Plaintiff that the money he I gut into the firm was to go for that pnrpose, as the new concern could not properly !snitch until the debts of the old concern were paid off. As the Defend ants' share was only dead stock, bring the surplus of the stock of the old concern, it could not he made available for the purpose of paying off the debts of the old firm. The Plaintiff could not be ignorant of the increased expense of the firm, its their books were printed by his presses. in Bolt coml. In June, 1819, the printing-offi.!e of the Plaintiff was burned down, but he was fortunate enough to hare his stork insured to its full value, to the amount of 30,0001.. which was paid hint by the insurance offices. Part of the stock of the firm of the copartnership was in the warehouse of the Plaintiff. to the amount of 1.z21101., which was mounted by the fire, and the Plaintiff refused to give them one shilling for it, although he had re ceived 30,000% from the insurance offices, and answered their demand by a taunt—" Why they were such fools as not to be insured as well us him." It was alleged by the Plaintiff that the Defendants had drawn more money out of the concern for their own use than they were entitled to by the deed of copartnership; hut this charge vanished like the rest the moment the Defendants' answer was put in. It appeared on the face of the deed that the Defendants were to have 1001, per annum rash as the managers of the business, and IV% per annum each for their maintenance. Theo how (lid the fact turn out ? The Defendant, Maunder, who was a married man, had drawn somethitig more than his yearly allowance from the concern; and the Defendant, Pintiock, who wi,s not a married man. had not drawn to the ammuit of his allowance, and what both had drawn token to gether would riot amount to the sum they were entitled to draw annually from the concern. It was charged that they (the Defendants) had raised money on the credit of the firm, and that they had negotiated accommodation bill s . T oe lat ter part of the charge was denied by the De fendants, but the former was admitted, sod lie (the Learned Counsel) contended they had si right to do so; for, after the Plaintiff's printing conceri, was destroyed by fire, he ceased to be Benoler the printer, of Holt-court, and he Itecaine Hensley, Esq. of Clampliain Rise; and not expecting to make soy more profit by printing the books of the firm, he refused the Deliaitlitios to advance them any motley. Were they then to give up their hose ness, which was in a flourishing state, even by the acksioadedgment of the Plaintiff, who admitted that their capital in stock had increased to the amount of 4.0001. in less than three years, for want of money when they could raise it ? Several moat respectable stationers came to their aid, and ad vanced them 4,0004 and it was their duty to have accepted it when there was a provision in the arti cles of copartnership, for the purpose of extending their capital ; but he would take it nn another way, and take it as a matter of doubt, whether the De retainable could raise money without the coneviit of the Plaintiff, would his Lordship allow the Plain tiff to go on with the Defendants in this con cern while he was benefited by the printing of it, and then, when he had given up that trad?, to say he would go no further ? Ile sub mitted to the Court that as to the coostruction of th e covenant', of the deed of copartnership, the De feutlants had the right to raise the money without tile consent of the Plaintiff, or without consulting him. He admitted that be hid met with no case in equity similar to the present, where a copartner was allowed to say that capital is necessary to be raised on recount of the extension of buainess, hut he would not allow it to be raised. 'the Plain tiff had undertaken to swear that he believed tne Defendants were not solvent. in answer to which tiny had sworn that before this application of the Plaintiff's to the Court they were not only solvent, but that their business was in a most flourishing state ; the Homey that had been advanced to them by Messrs. Kaye and Co. and other stationers were given to them on a luau for twelve months, and by the returns of their trade they would have been able to have raid double the sum by the time it be came due. It was out these grounds he asked leis Lordship for the discharge of the orders he had granted against the Defendants. Mr. ILRT, Counsel fur the Plaintiff, said it never was the wish of his client to injure the De fendants. if they were in the opulent circumstances that had been stated by their Learned Counsel, and were ready to give the Plaintiff security for the ney lie had embarked in the concern ; and against his liability for the outstanding debts of the firm, he was ready to meet them. and was willing to go no further with the proceedings in that Court. Mr. ‘VETNERELL said, such a proposal, made at such a time, was only •dding insult to oppression. Mr. SUGDEN was heard oil the same side as Mr. AVetherell. Mr. IVII.BRAHAM followed on the same side, and was heard in part. The Loan CHANcET.I.oIt observed it was four o'clock, and he was oblig ed to rise, but directed that the motion should b e proceeded in to-morrow (this day). _ _ COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
