COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. The tragedy of King Lear was acted here last nig ht. We wish, we could say SHAYSpEaftWa tragedy, but we cannot, for the play represented was TATE'S alteration, with. we are inclined to tliitik, subsequent innovations on the original pro duction of Om immortal author. The former, in deed, sparest the spectator's feelings (so greatly shocked in the acatastrophe imagined SHAN SPEARS. contra', to history). by doing poetical justice to the virtues stud sutreriuga of Lear and Cardelia, and rendering them triumphant over the arts of their enemies. But such is our reverence *for whatever came from the pen of the mighty master of nature and the passions. that we look upon this merit (and some will call even it into question) as a poor compensation for the distortion of the principal incidents, and extraordinary change to the fable and structure of the drama. Mr. TERRY had been at first advertised to play the prin cipal character. but his name was subsequently withdrawn from the bills to make room for that of a Gentleman whose appearance at dttlerent theatre,' the metropolis, and the circumstances connected with it, on a distant, as well as a recent occasion, creuted so strong • sensation in the theatrical world, and who has been engaged at this house—we mean Mr. BOOTH. This was his first attempt of the part, and the performance was certainly superior to any we have known him undertake. Hit was not a perfect image of •the poor old King, his leading . features were in general well preserved—if it did not always express the ever-changing passions springing out of the coutiemsl vicissitudes of " hie strange eventful history" in their nicest shades and faintest hum, it yet exhibited' the shape, the hotly, the glaring colours of most of them. The conception was in must instances correct—the execution at miles not so happy.. Mr. BOOTH appeared to us to succeed best in the early and the conclnding scenes of the tragedy. In the former he conveyed 4 pretty adequate impression of Lear's habitual pride, iinpatimice of contradiction, and choler; mod in the later, of the shame and compunction Nosing from his unmerited treatment of his only duteous daughter. In the scenes where the ne glected Monarch's madness is at the height, Mr. BooTn's voice was frequently so rough and hoarse, mid his pronuntiation au rapid and inarticulate, as to he unintelligible. It was in these that his much-talked of resemblance to Mr. KEAN'S play ing, and indisputably it was very strong, was most observable. Whether this be the effect of a similitude of natural powers or of imitation, we cannot pretend to say, but we are sure that circumstance operated to Mr. BOOTH'S dis. adviseitage in the opinion of the audience. The hovel scene, where Lear is so much taken with Tom a' Be dlam, and the transition from sanity to insanity, must strongly marked. struck us us being very powerfully acted. Mr. BOOTH was frequently applauded, and scarcely in one instance censured is particular passages; and it is probably not an unsafe prediction, considering the approbation be. stowed on the performance the first night, though Vy an means inqualifird. that it will hereafter become pupate,. The tragedy presented another hereby in Miss S. BOOTH'S first representation of Curdeliq ; kud a third, we believe, in Yates's Regan. Cardelia is far from being one of the loftiest order of females; she has tamest ranting in common with the Lady Macbeth, or elyteritnearas of the stage ; the qualities re quirwl fur justly supporting the part are of the s ma tipiring, modest, gentle order, stud itp these Miss S. BooTH's performance was abundantly . rich. The L ego. of Mre. YATES, the opposite of the last picture, was cbarecleriaed by suitable dignity- amid spirit. Mr. MACEICANT'S kifirtund mil a masterly pace of acting; we have rarely seen soy thing on the stage superior to his frown of scorn and defiance. out hearing Edgar's challenge. Mr. C. }WHILE personated the difficult part of Edgar with great correctness and discrimination, and elicited repeated suss its of admiration. The curtain dropped amidst plaudits which ap peared to be pretty general. There were a few cries of "Encore" and " Mr. Booth!" Mr. C. KEMBLE cause forward to announce, as was understood, the trag..ly fur repetition. Violent wals of applause, ;1116 for gotta waving of hats in different parts of tf•e t.cuse, ensued. These manifestations of fa .our were met by numerous hisses, groans, sod cries t.f "No ! no !"---sto that Mr. KEIIBLE, after rhsplayiog great perseverance, and making relocated t !forts apparently to ascertain what the real feelings of the audience were, retired with nut oitotast,oug s hearing. Mr. BOOTH then ad vanced, and though received with loud cheerings and plaudits, was equally unsuccessful. Mr. C. EMBLE then presented himself a second time, and having obtained silence. gave out the Antiquary for this night, and the tragedy of King Lear for Saturday and Monday. THE DUBLIN THEATRE.

Sir Robert, the first Baronet, created in . 1628, had several sons, one of whmn, William, Colonel its the army, accompanied King William into Ire land, and commanded the E Itilleumen at the teittle of the Boyne, after which he was made Mae.. ter of the Ordnance, a Privy Counsellor, and one of the Lords Justices of Ireland. Sir Charles, the second Baronet, represented the county of Sititrisrd im Parliament, in the reigns 4 Charles I. end 11. and was a man of great cou *nitration in those times. Sir William, the third Baronet, was drowned in his chariot and four, returning home from Lich field, July 8, 1728, between seven and right o'clock iii the evening, passing it little brook in a village celled Loug, iii the high road.--This accident happened by the sudden breaking down of a mill-dam at a small distance, occasioned by a violent thunder shower, which brought down a body of water that sunk the chariot iii the very moment of its crossing the brook. The coachman was carried down the stream by the tor rent into an orchard, about one hundred yards front the place, and saved himself in the top of an apple tree. The present Sir Charles is the seventh Baronet. THE STATE PRISONERS. The Commissioners appointed under the Special Commission to try the State Prisoners, will proceed to-morrow to the Sessious House iii Clerkenwell, for the purpose of adjourning the Court will he recollected, when it last met, was appointed to re-assemble on the 15th instant) to a future day. Their Lordships will then go on to the Sebsiour House iu the Old Bailey, where the eleven Prisoners again►t whom hills of indict ment have been found fur high treason, will be arraigned. After their pleas have been re ceived, the next seep will be to a►k them, whether they will conjoin in their challenges of the Jury, or challenge separately ? If they agree to challenge collectively, which is extremely improbable, they will be tried together, but if they persist in their right to challenge separately then they will take their trials in succession, and, as we have already stated, Arthur Thistlewood will be first put to the bar. The Commission will be adjourned from to-morrow till Monday morning, when tha trials will commence. The applications for admission to the Court to be present ,at the trials have been extremely nume rous, and, we widerstand, far beyond the possi. bility of accommodation. It was thought that those persons who have the superintendence of the arrangements on this occasion would, in the first instance, have felt it their duly to pro. vide every facility for the admission of the gen tlemen connected with the public press. It ap. pears, however, that whatever may have been the wishes of some respectable individuals on this subject, there is one gentleman who opposer any regulations, and who has actually resolved to ex clude the Reporters from that part of the Court to which they have hitherto had constant scene. Whether the obstinate disposition of this reveille , man is to supersede the authority sod good sense of those who, in point of fact, possess a superior power in the Court, is yet to he decided. Orders have been given to Mr. Brown, the gaoler of Newgiate, to prepare rooms for the reception of the prisoners. This has been done, cod they are to be placed in wards ou the north side of the prison. There will he several of them in one room together, so that they will be permitted to have that personal communication with each other which has hitherto been interdicted. The removal of the seven prisoners in the Tower, and of the fair in Coldbuth-lields prison, will take place in the course of this day. They will be conveyed in hackney coaches, and escorted by troops of the Horse Guard.. They will remain in Newgate until their trials shall be brought to a conclusion. Adams (a witness for the Crown), Symonds, George, Hall, and Firth, against whom no bilk of indictment have been found, will remain in cus tody till the Grand Jury ahnll be discharged. Firth, who, it will be recollected, we stated to be seriously indisposed is consequence of the alarm he felt from the situation in which he was placed, has, since the bill against him was ignored by the Grand Jury, recovered his health, and is now in a state of convalescence. The whole of the prisoners live very comfortably, and, with the exception of the restraint upon their liberty, admit that they have not the slightest reason to complain.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, GUILDHALL, TUUSIDAT, Aram 13. adjourned Sittings after Hilary Term, &Are liat Cum JUSTICE and Special Juries, UORT V. Ili 'GARTH!. This was an action to recover compensation foe the lots &MO/. stock, 6 per Cent. Bsiik Annuities, alleged to have been incurred by the Plaintiff, iu consequence of the ne glect of the Defenrhiat. The stork in question wee offered to the Plaintiff to purchase, and represented to him as the property of Mrs. Shaw, to whom, as the Plaiutiff was given to understand, it would fall ou the der-castor an 4 6ge1l lady, named Bennyworth. It turireil . out, however, that Mr. Hennyworth bad sot more than a life-interest in the property, which went to his wife on his decease, and descended to her children. The Defendant hail been employed in his profes sion of an attorney to examine into the title of Mrs. Shaw, relative to the property, and, if good, to cause the truster to lie effected, which was subsequently accomplished by the Defendant. The deed was signed in 1813, and in 1818 the Plaintiff being informed that Mrs. Beesitywurth was dead, made spplicatiou at the Bank to secure his purchase, ■nd received for answer, that there was nu stock which an swered to the description be gave. Besides the general issue of nut liable, the action was re sisted under the statute of limitation, the declaration not having been put oil the record till 1819, ■od the cause of action not having accrued within six years after. Proof was also offered of the ditlaulty which lay in the way of obtain ing satisfactory information, hither from the trestees of Beonyworilia will (one klieg dead, the other ston in vestor) or at the Bask. The Cassese' for the defence urged situ the accordance of the Plaintiff, although he was made folly acquainted with the risk be ran in closing the purchase. The Cates JOITICV said, that it was the business of an attorney to protect his client, and the Ikfeudant should have prevented the Plaintiff from paying his mosey under such imperfect information. The Jory found a verdic► for the Plaintiff—Damps, 340/. RI:AD AND OTHERS n. ATKINSON AND OTHERS. The Defendants In this ease bid been appointed assignees to the estate of Meatus. Butmer, ship.owners of South Shields. The Plaintiffs are rope.makers, and had furnished ope and cordage fur the ship Lord Cathcart, the property of the bankrupts estate, in 1817, for the value of which they now Fought to recover 3401. 19a. 10d. It was alleged that the Defendants had continued the business after the cumnsis- Rion, which was dated 1814, fur the benefit of the creditor.. They were therefore liable. On the other band it was contended, that the Hubner. re. teived their certificate within the year of the date of the cuminiuion, and that the business and property of the estate had been given over to their management. The Plaintiffs were creditors to the bankrupts estate, and were conaeiqus when they furnished the goods in question that the Bulmers were the persona taking the reef it, and not the assignee.. Joseph Bulmer had throughout been the chief person in the management of the estate, which became again insolvent after the contraction of the debt sued fur in tbe present action. The question was, whether the Plaintiffs were tonatione of the responsibility of the Buttners when the goods were furs. nished. This was proved, and it appeared that all the ships belonging to the estate had been sold; except rinse engaged , in the transport service, and it was commonly known that the Bulmera had bought several of then,. . _ . - The Counsel fur the defence pointed out, in siditlon, the great i l iustlee of making the. oisignees of the commission taken but in 1814 answerable five all the debts contracted by the Bulmers since; whereas the assignees of the new corn. mission would like the whole of the effects, and yet no divi dend beyond the first 10s. bad been received by the aid creditors.• The Cuter Justice was of oplainn, that the credit bad been given to the Bu'mere, and not to the assignees ; al: though, for the advantage of the estate, they bad retained the legal title of the unsold ship, in the transport service, Bud lied assisted in conveying one of them, proof of which had been put in by the Counsel for the Plaintiffs. This proof had its value, his Lordship observed, but was subject s like all other evidence, to be contradicted and refuted by more weighty evidence leading to a different conclusion.— No application bad bees made to the assignees for payment of any accounts from 1814 till the time of the present ac. tion, although no further dividend hail been paid. This chewed that the assignees were not considered responsible by any of the creditors. The Jury concurred, and immediately gave a verdict for the Defendants. CAST IRON COFFINS. BRIDGMAN a. BUZZARD. Mr. Currey opened this case, the declaration of which stated, that the Defendant had caused the Plaintiff to be taken up, and confined during a night in prison, sad brongbt before a Magistrate, before whom the Plaintiff was examined, and the complaint was discharged. The Defendant pleaded first that be had ant mulled the illegal imprisonment ; secondly, that the Plaintiff had caused a riot in St. Andrew's church.yard, by bringing a cast iron coffin to he buried there, and causing disturbance whets the burial was refused. Mr.Scaar.mcontletried Ike pleadings. The Plaintiff was the inventor of the cast trues eoffitis. From the laudable sympathies of human nature, in striving to secure tiro mortal remains of relative. from the heartless rapine df the resurrection men, and the retentlent steel of the dis secting house, dae Plaintiff's laventiou had become very popular. The Plaintiff, in the exercise of his bushier', bad conducted the fuueral of a Mrs. Gilbert, who was lobate been buried in a cast iron coffin, to Sitiut An drew's church-yard, Holborn. This the Defeudaut had discovered to be criminal, though by what part of the law of the land it became so, no one could tell. The Dellodent was a Churchwarden of the parish : of/it. Andrew, and arriving on the ground from a parish feast (a suet of entertainment less known to the lan of the land thou the crime of burying in a cast iron coffin), at the time when the codfiu was to have been ounsigued to the grave, not only übjected to the inter orient, but caused the Plaiutifflo be abut up in the Giltspnr street Cumpter, wherehe was detained all night, from whence he was taken before the Magistrate, and afterwards dismissed es before stated. The caption and imprisnesneut were fulls proved, as was also the orderly deportment of the Plaintiff and his party up to the time of his being seised and conveyed to the Gillspar Cotnpler lay the order of the Defendant, The case for the prusecullieu being closed, Hr.

This important cease, which already occupier/ two entire days, was 'mein. wiled WI yesterday moritin, when some wituesses who had been already examiwerl were again ono domed. Their testimony weal merely to explain some points it' their former evidence. . • The Not.torrott.GcsigßAL tt,en rose to address the Jetty On behalf of the Plaiutirs. He took so esteosire view of all the els cumetances and feels in the case, end °llse' veil very Minutrly, and at great length, *spurt the evidence of the different :guesses produced rot bulb side., and contended that the Ih-feud-anis had altigether Clika It) proving what b. their plea they undertook to prove, namely, that the *ode of boiling sugar by bested oil in d the risk end rained the destruction of the premises; out the contrary, the fair presumption arising froni every circumstance of the case was, that the premises were destroyed, nut by explosion, but by fire, as other premiseeeeposed to the danger of in gaamable matter bad been. In illustration of this position , the Learned Grut lemon referred to the evidence of our of the wituesses, who stated that he had knownlhit ty sugar houses destrordby fire in the city of London frusta time lu lime, sad notwithstanding very minute inquiries, he was able to find the precise cause of fire in any of them. It was out neces sary fur the Plaintiffs its the primmest action to spew how Or is what way the premises lied taken fire. It was fur the Defendants to prove that they had been consumed in she manner, and by the means ted in their plea; but if the Plaintiffs were bound to account in a reasonable men. ucr fur the fire, it would be easy to do au. TIIC, pre mises were like all other sugar-houses, full of iatlato maids patter; candles were lighted iu (be morning, and carried through the warehottre, teal this fact atone was enough to chew at least a puesible cause of the fire. But the Jury were nut to give their verdict nn em.jecture—i hey were to found it upon proof. The Defendents, by conjec ture, by inference, by presumption, might attempt to abew that the premise* were consumed by the means described its his pleading; but he was boomd not by inference to account fur—bat by clear end demuumtrative evidence to prime the fad. Not having dupe so, ur done soy Oda:: like it, he sisbenitted that in justice, as well as in rereasn, the Plain tiff, wen/ entitled to their verdict. The Learned gentleman coucluded by saying, that after the greet consuleratiore they had given the case, after the patient hearing they load given. le the evidence, his clients, should the Jury, against his coo. viction, find a verdict fur the Defeatiants, would bow to the deciairm, sod abide by it. After the address of the Solicitor-Geueral was concluded, the Jury, with the permission of the Court, retired furs few minutes. Shortly after out o'clock Lord Chief Justice Dallas com menced his charge. He stated very fully the pleading., in the cause, and the points upon which issue lied beet' joined. His Lordship next adverted to the evidence, which lie read over to the Jury from the begiowing to the end. Having gate through the evidence, his Lordship said that there could he no doubt but the premises were consumed by Ire, and there was as little doubt that the Plaintiffs were eu. titled to recover unless they violated the conditions of the contract contaioed in the policy under which they claimed. The objections made by Mr. Scarlett were, that the pre mises were nut truly described in the policy ; it was neces sary that they should be correctly mid sufficiently described. If the premises were not so described, then the pulley would be void. It was affirmed by the Plaintiffs that they were sufficiently described, and denied by the Defendants. The premises consisted of different apartments, forming one building. The apartments erre the long-house, the grinding-house, sod the sew-house. After the instrienee had been effected, and before it was renewed. a new build ing was erected, cubed the new house, which was not stated in the Wk . ,. It was fur the Jury to say whether this, not having been added whew the policy was renewed, destroyed the true descriptive; if so, it would make the tusurauce void. The Jury barite( the model before them, es well as the evidence, be left it to them to say whether there was or pm not es *deviate and correct drecription grveu of tbe premises.
