Last night, Reuzzini gave his first Subscription oncert at the Upper Assembly Rooms, which was tended by about five hundred of our first-rate nvers of harmony. The first ad commenced with nyvett's pleasant trifle, called Tim &lit of St. limbers nave'," which was well performell by sbley, MagrAth, and Doyle. Mrs. Ashe sang a ,eautiful Italian sons by Caruso, and An elegant ew ballad, of Rauzzini's composition, delightfully; and Miss Sharp gave an air by Andrenzzt in her eual finished style. The gland attraction and novelty of the entertainment, rested with Signor Naldi, from the Opera House, who sang a 'duet with Morelli, and two songs very eft-Etively, and received unbounded applause 'Net concertos Isy Ashs and Lindley. and a duet by the celebrated Pericles, completed the bill of fare.

But, Gentle men, if the worthy Candidate, up to this time, has sot been able to understand what I have had the honour to addl.'s% to you, he has taken'a complete revenge, and has been as unintelligible to me as I could possitily Lave been to him.

When we read of these in timatians, one would imagine, that the people of England had yet made no "edifices, and that the sources of taxation were yet untouched. Gen tlemen, the Right Honourable the Treasurer of the Navy holds this sort of language, and tells the people, they must prepare for large sacri fices, even to the ver y n ies of life. that has been done already ; and does not the tax-gatherer, in your default, take the bed from under you —the clothes from off your back ; and would they have your still also ?

U. Ilse Court was oectipied the whole of the day in heariug special argumen• a, of little or no public interest ; the following, however, a considered worthy of not-ee, as reveal similar cases depend upon us decision. INGLIS V Kinn ta crow This cause came before th: Curt upon a writ of error, from the Court of Common Pleas. The a&ion was brought against the Underwriters, upon a PAW., of Insurance uoon the Spanish ship Hater, on a voyage from the Havannali to the Bahama Islands. In prosecution of this voyage, the ship struck upon some Cool Rocks, In the Gulph of Mexico, and WAS totally lost. The Plaintiff in this to trios was the agent of Don Juan Villers, the owner. It appeared upon the trial, that this vessel was laden with a large quantity of logwood. end 45.000 dollars ; and, although site was at property of an al.en enemy, and trading from an enemy's port, yet, by the King's Licence, this sort of tratil: was permitted to be carried oa, for the mutual benefit of Lath countries. The anion was twice tried by Special Juries, and a verdift found for the Plaintiff, upon each. A bi:l of exceptions was tendered upon the last trial, and the case DOW WSW on to be heard upon special argument. Mr. Mosey am for els Defendant, distended, that the vetch& should be set aside, upon these grounds :—First, That the real Plaintiff s being an alim• enemy, could not sustain an atlion in a Bri; ti.h Court of Jastice :—Secondly, That * the memo• randum endorsed upon the Policy, should either have had the stamp of a hew Policy, or should have been the subjed of a new Policy :—And That there was not sirfficient proof of the licence granted hy His Majery for carrying on such a trade, The Learned CounSel, in support cf these three points, cited manly lea, tool authorities from the books, and entered Into a very long and able argu ment, which our limits troll mat permit us to detail. On the other hand, Mr. Cana. in support uf the verdidt, with his uoral ability and learning con tended, that this tlade, which was of the greatest benefit and advantage to our West Indian posses sions, was carried on by the King's Licence. He shelved, from the first authorities, that His Majesty I had not only a right to grant inch a Licence, but he ' might go much farther, and, under particular car ctimstanees, relinquish his Belhgereet rights ; and, therefore, be considered, that the Plaintiff, althoften l k the agent of an alien enemr,coutd sus:ain his ethon in Pan English Court of Justice. Upon the other points he argued with equal ability and learning, and con cluded by ohs. rving. that the origival question which the Defendant went down to try, we, not whe;her e Plaintiff could main•ain his anion here ; but the Defendant contended. that the case of the Plaintiff Was ail a fable:atom, and there was not that great treasure on board that wens stated ; hu: having filled twice in his cislumeiou. defence, I,e now hoped to turn them mend by his bill of exceptions. After he.trine Mr. of A 3 KT AT r in reply, at some length, the Court considering it a use of so much importance, and at involving so many other suits, deferred their final judgment to a future day. Mr. GARROW applied f or a rule to sinew tanse why a certain Attorney should not answer the mat ters of an affidavit. He stated. %hit a paper bad been served upon the person on whose behalf he iooved, purporting to be the ccpy of a writ, for which this Attorney had charged him 21. 10s. costs, and 51. for the service. Upon searching the proper Office, howeroc, it was found, that no such writ had ever been isseed. If such ;steelier), he ob served, were to be allowed, the mischief would be incalculable. The Court granted a rule to shew Cause. • , • COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. ' , . The whole of this day was occupied in triad r , pleadings. tows'. O. LVGISTON. This was an anion for damages against one of the owners of a vessel, for injury done to a quan tity of goods shipped by the Plaintiff on board thereof, for the purpose of being conveyed to Sicily. Mr. Serjeant V•VOHAN argued, that the De fendant cnuld not be made. singly, liable for the Alleged negligence i the foundation of the anion ' being the contra& entered into by the several part ners, who were all equally empinybi in the con veyance of the goods, although they did not all take an equal share in the management. In sup port of this, he quoted various cases. Mr. Serjeant Dav Lev, on the part of the Plaint iff, contended, that he had to complain of the gross negligence of the Defendant alone, by which a quantity of valuable goods were entirely lost to his Client, and that, therefore, the said Defendant was indivi lushly liable for damages. The era of the edam being for negligence, he had nothing to do with the other partners, as the prataise of the Court did not distinguish between aslions founded up, n negligence, and a&ions founded upon the contra& of the several partners. Had it been the jtint negligence of all t .e three partners i 0 tiffs concern. that was complained of, the case might have been different. It it had been an anion of esaufsspfit • then the plea of abatement might have been al lowed, but where the tenon was bottomed upon the negligence of one party, that negligence could not be said to be the negligence of the others concerned. The Learned St tienit also pointed cut several cases and opinions, in favour of his &Wine. Sir JAM es MASITILLD thought that some further time was necessary, m order to Make up his mind upon this subjeft. He could not think there was any difference as to the nature of the anion to be brought for the non-performance of a thing, cr for its having been dune improperly. If a builder, who undertook to build a house, tregic&ed to do it, or built it •in stick a superficial manner that it falls dawn, the anion ins tither c. se is founded upon the contra& and the cause of anion is the breath of c•eitradl by non-performance, or by negligence. It was reasonable that the Plaintiff should proceed by that (arm of etlion which is the most convenient, wh. ther it be against the whole of t• e partnars to. h eller or i-div.Jually. The decisian of this was postponed to a future may. ; aid o. Darr+till. Feint Bra r Moved for a Rule to sheii wise wilk Vie Delvnilint should not be allowed td clay a debt due 6 him to the Flaintii, without•in- • tarring oasts, which Sitiitb; by Ms unwarrantable • conduct, was sulij -ding litm to. He stated, that this ; • was an action on the plea of aFitenient. and eerxi , ms one was °ever brought i..to any Court.— The circumstances of the case were Abele :—Mr. Dempster, the Defendant, was a SI hriolmaster in Surrey. and John Smith. the Plaintiff, wits a hone ahi chaise hirer, in 131ackhriars-roa•1. mho was in debted to the Defend tnt in the sum of 331. board• .~, an I educati.m fcrr his son An acc-snt wat deli vered a considerable time ago, and CUL paid. The Defendant having occasion to come Irequmtly to town, generally put up his horse and chaise at the Plaintiff's house, by which Means, an account of ex rnces was incurred, which this Plaintiff, Smith, had brow& this aa'ol in the Court of Kiog's Bench to recover. 'fhe Defendant, Dempster, had never refused to pay up what balance might be due wher ever the Plaintiff gave in his account, setting off what was due upoit the other side, and letting lam know what suns he had actually to pay. The Learned Jenoe expressed an opinion, that this was a most vexati o us And irregular course of • proceAlstre, and recommended to the Counsel on that other side (Vs. Serjeanc Marshall) to advi'sa his client to adjust their mutual claims amicably, instead sit incairing more eapences than what the sum in dispute aftstally amounted to. • Mr. Seikant IiAOISIIALL said, that the amount of the debt due to Smith was 181. i . a 191. ; and Mrs Serjeatii Bur said it was ooly 81. or lA.—ltal.., granted. • POLICE. • 111,411151011-110C11.
