KING'S THEATRE. GRAND BALL FOR THE RELIEF OF THE SPITALFIELDS WEAVERS. We seldom enter this theatre with feelings such as those by which we felt influenced as we passed its gay threshold last night. In general we know it but as the resort of mere selfish recreation, where the nicer moralities have too often occasion to be shocked, and mere sordid personal interest is alone the object of managerial exertion. On this occasion Pleasure seemed subdued into considerateness for human woe, and to have zealously volunteereed all her best blandish ments to win over her votaries to the cause of charity. Her temple seemed dedicated to a purer worship, and reminded one of those olden days when the dance was only associated with religious worship. May we add, that looking on the scene which was in the course of the night presented to our view, that the purely Sybarite indulgences of Almack's seemed strongly rebuked. When we entered the theatre, we found it as much changed in its appearance as in its purpose. The stage was converted into a martial pavilion of striped pink and white drapery, a large trophy of old armour occupying its centre, and several mailed figures placed on pedestals stand ing at intervals round its wall. These figures were, we un derstand, liberally supplied from the Tower, and had an imposing effect—at least to the distant spectators ;to those in a nearer position there was much to remind them of the genius loci. The great point of interest which superseded the latter was the royal box, if we may so denominate a very elegant structure, erected for the occasion, to receive the royal party, and which directly faced the stage. This arrangement was certainly better than having a side state-box, as at the time of the ball for the relief of the distressed Irish. This structure, to which we refer, occupied the middle of the semicircle of the house, and reached from its base at the pit up to the gallery. It had a centre compart ment and two wings, surmounted by a light pediment, and supported in front by four graceful white pillars, wreathed with gilded garlands. An extremely rich drapery of crimson velvet hung round this pavilion, and in its front shone conspicuously the star of the Garter. The boxes, on each side of the house, appeared as connecting lines between this and the stage, which, by the bye, was occupied by a large band under Weippert. The appearance of the boxes was wholly changed from what it looks at the opera. Each tier, from the lowest upward, was dedicated, .as it were, to one of the royal orders of knighthood, and decorated accordingly. The Garter at the grand tier had its star and badge alternately emblazoned upon a drapery of festooned purple silk, turned up with white. The Bath, in like manner, had its crimson and white ; the St. Patrick, sky blue and white ; the St. Andrew. dark green and white ; and, lastly, the Guelphic order, which honoured the slips, had its blue and white. All this gave the house an exceedingly elegant and brilliant appearance, particularly as, in addition to the chandelier and usual lights of the house, four gas circles or hoops were suspended from the ceiling over the pit, and two from that of the stage. While we scrutinised those embellishments at about half past ten, we found the company, with a steady current, look on the great scene of the ball and the boxes. Of the latter, the three next the floored pit were dedicated to them who had ball tickets. The lowest, in particular, was portioned amongst the Lady Patronesses, the Civic Authorities, and the Foreign Ambassadors and Envoys. Gradually these filled with company, as did the great area below, and need we add, the upper boxes and gallery. What shall we say of the former especially ?—what of the tout ensemble ? The boxes and ball company were perfectly dazzling, so much so, that amongst those who are most familiar with oyal fetes and public spectacles, there seemed to be but one opinion that this was the most splendid scene of the kind that they had ever seen. At ten the assembly was almost as numerous as it was at the last Irish ball—at eleven one dense crowd occupied the area of the pit and stage, and the boxes were quite full. When we state that great numbers of the ladies wore large plumes of feathers, and also made the most lavish display of diamonds, chiefly worn in tiaras resembling a Persian crown, and add that the great majority of the gentlemen present were in uniform, realising again Byron's " fair women and brave men," our readers will be enabled to form some conception of the general effect of their appearance. Just about eleven the Princess Augusta, attended by a great portion of the King's household, entered the royal box, and the band immediately struck up the national anthem. Her Royal Highness curtsied affably to both sides of the house, and to those who occupied its centre, and the ladies all in like manner acknowledged the compli ment. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland en tered the box immediately after the Princess Augusta, and in about five minutes more, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, accompanied by the Princess of Leiningen and a considerable suite fol lowed. The Princess Augusta, the Duchess of Kent, and the Princess Victoria, mutually kissed in a very affectionate manner, which drew much hearty applause from the com pany present. The whole of the royal box, although it was very large, and led down by two flights of stairs to the floor of the pit, was quite filled with the noble individuals who attended upon the Royal party ; amongst others, we noticed his Grace the Duke of Wellington. The foreign legation boxes, which immediately adjoined this central at traction, were all well attended. We only noticed the ab sence of that diplomatic corps to which we should have considered such a scene as this most interesting—the Turkish. Not a Moslem did we see during the whole night. Had they been present they might have fancied the Paradise realised in the numberless lovely young women who mingled freely in this scene of enchantment. As soon as the excitement caused by the arrival of the Royal party had subsided, quadrilles began ; but the crowd was so great that it was with the greatest difficulty the sets could be formed ; and the evil seemed almost irremediable, since the more the lookers-on squeezed to give room, the greater the number of couples who rushed into the opening made. Still the grace and elegance of the fair dancers soon exercised a potent influence over crowd and disor der, and effected a very agreeable Terpsichorean display. The lady patronesses of the ball had mustered some of their loveliest young friends in fancy dresses, and we had thus a quadrille of Grecian girls, and Spanish, besides re presentatives of the seasons—not, of course, including that very monotonous one which has just passed away. These, and a few fancily-dressed gentlemen, were the only excep tions from the general costume of the company. Waltzes were also given in the course of the night, but chiefly after the crowd had in some degree diminished. The Royal party had refreshments as they sat in their box, and after having apparently greatly enjoyed the scene before them, left the theatre with the same demonstrations of respect as those with which they had been received. The plea sures of the ball did not, however, droop upon their de parture, but were rather sustained with the more vivacity from many senior parties retiring, and leaving a freer space for the numbers who were eager to share in the agremens of the waltz and quadrille. Upon every side we heard but the one remark—of the splendour of the whole scene, and we are most happy to add that many, when evidently suffering from the effects of so excessive a crowd, cheerfully suppressed their feeling, with some remark or other respecting the increased advan tage to the charity from the i ncrease d concourse . N ev er, in fact, were anticipations of a failure, and some such were yeilded to in the early part of yesterday, more completely falsified. We cannot pretend to compute the numbers who so filled the theatre in the whole area of its pit and stage floor, and its boxes and gallery, but they must have been thousands. There were refreshments supplied gratis, and of an unexceptionable kind, to the company who were en gaged at the ball. Their re-animating effects we witnessed till daylight began to dawn, when we left the whole scene of gorgeous gaity with eyes aching from looking upon it for full five hours. We cannot conclude our notice of it with out remarking that the admirable arrangements of Colonel Rowan, in regard to the police force, caused the whole system of setti ng d own and taking up this vast company to be conducted with extraordinary regularity, order, and sa tisfaction. Our readers will find in our Court Circular the names of those who formed the suite of the Princess Augusta, the Duchess of Kent, and the Princess Victoria. In addition, we can only say that we ourselves noticed in the course of the evening, at least one half of the members of the House of Peers mingling in the scene we have sketched above. The value of Mr. Washington Irving's present work (" Adventures of Captain Bonneville") is the greater, because the state of things out of which arises the wild and tragic interest of the story will cease to exist with tie gradual advance of civilization towards the regions of the "far west"; and future authors will be, therefore, unable to portray it. Rival parties of trappers will soon exhaust the streams. The fur-bearing animals extinct, a complete change will come over the scene ; the gay free trapper and his steed, decked out in wild array, and tinkling with bells and trinketry ; the savage war-chief, plumed and painted, and ever on the prowl ; the trader's cavalcade, winding through defiles or over naked plains, with the stealthy war party lurking on its trail ; the buffalo chase ; the hunting camp ; the mad carouse in the midst of danger, the night attack, the scampado, the scamper, the fierce skirmish among rocks and cliffs—all this romance of savage life, which yet exists among the mountains, will then exist but in frontier story, and seem like the fictions of chivalry or fairy tale. • ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY. —The ordinary monthly meeting for general business was held yesterday afternoon ; Viscount Gage, V. P., in the chair. Mr. Yarrell read the Report of the Council, from which it appeared that the total receipts of the past month were 1 ,689/. 4s. 6d. ; and that there had been expended 1,1731., including 8311. to the gardens, 1821. to the museum, and paid 158/. to the general establish ment. Several presents were announced to the museum and menagerie, the number of visitors to the former being 452, from whom 61. 3s. was received ; and to the latter 23,568, and the sum received therefrom 8.541. 10s. -Tit TII al r;.l THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 1837. WINDSOR-THURSDAY. Count Kielmansegge, the Hanoverian Minister in Paris, arrived at the Castle on Tuesday, where he still continues, on a visit to their Majesties. His Excellency is a relative of Earl Howe. It is with sincere pleasure we announce that the King is a great deal better, and it is expected that to-morrow his Majesty will be well enough to quit his apartments. The Queen's chamber musicians performed on Tuesday evening in the white drawing-room, which is the next room to the King's, in order that his Majesty might hear them ; and the company sat in the library which also adjoins the white drawing-room. The Queen was out both yesterday and to-day for some time, attended by her usual suite. Her Majesty is now perfectly recovered. The greater part of the domestics of the Royal household left the Castle this morning for town, by order of the King, to attend at the supper after the ball, for tha benefit of the Spitalfields weavers. The supper and refreshments are the donation of his Majesty, and we be lieve the expense of the music is also defrayed by the same gracious and charitable hand. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, TATTERSALL' S-YESTERDAY. Matters were extremely dull at " the Corner ;" very little was done towards bringing the Derby to a satisfact Dry conclu sion, and not much on future events. The Ascot Cup was mentioned, and 6 to 4 laid on Lord Westminster's Touch stone, not p.p. This was the only bet made, nor does it ap. pear likely that much business will be done before the day. An offer was made to take 1,000 to 250 about naming the winner of the Goodwood Cup, but as no one offered more than 3to 1 the horse was not named. A small bet was made on the Ascot Free Handicap, at 5 to 4 op the field agst Florestan and Alfred. THE ST.

A report which had been prepared by a Committee appointed :for that purpose, was then read, entering into various details and cal culations to prove that the Coffee-house Keepers were a body sufficiently numerous and powerful to carry the objects of the institution into effect. A great number of rules and regula tions, which had been drawn up by the Committee for the guidance of the Association, were also read and approved of. Several of the leading Coffee house keepers of the metropolis addressed the meeting, and advocated the interests of the infant institution. It was stated in the report that the number of Coffee-houses in London is about 2,000. THE NEW WORK, BY THE AUTHOR OF " VI VIAN GREY," AND " HENRIETTA TEMPLE."—The hero of " Venetia" is Lord Byron. Amongst the individuals who are drawn into the drama, under various titles, are Lady Caroline Lamb, and Percy Byshe Shelley. The portraits are full of power, and have a breath of vitality in them that gives assu rance that they are studies from the life. " The Lord Cadur cis" of the novel is touched with the wilfullness and humours of Lord Byron, with that misanthropy which grew upon dis appointment, with his high genius and uncompromising pride. How far Mr. D'lsraeli was justified in using such materials for a work of this description, is a question which we leave the public to decide.—Atlas. MISS PARDOE'S RESIDENCE IN TURKEY. This work, so long announced, has at length appeared. We may now venture (on paper I) with our fair traveller, into the Mosque of St. Sophia, at midnight, when detection would have involved certain death ; and to the summit of Mount Olympus among the eternal snows. We may listen in her company to the thrilling service of the Howling Dervises, and to the Fairy Zebec of a turbaned beauty in an Imperial Harem. We are indebted to her for a special audience of a Cabinet Minister, and we have—but we will betray her no further, but refer our reader to the work itself, which cannot fail to create a great sensation in the reading world.

The season, or rather the opening for what is technically called the season, commenced on Wednesday at the Beulah Spa. The day was not propitious for the occasion, and con sequently the congregation of visitors was not so numerous as otherwise it would have been. The backwardness of the sea son has very much affected the appearance of the wood's slnubbery ; in some parts of the grounds it almost looks like winter, so bare and desolate are the trees of leaves. In the more cultivated and more artificial part of the grounds the appearance is different ; art has been brought to accomplish those results which the niggardliness of nature has declined. The grass plats are in good order, and great attention has been paid to the cultivation of flowers and shrubs. In a few weeks, perhaps in a few days, the aspect of this delightful spot will be much changed for the better. A great many improve ments have been made; great attention has been paid to the cultivation of flowers, and the result has proved the judgment and good taste of those to whom these arrangements are in trusted, In addition to the usual amusements with which this place abounds, there was yesterday a meeting of " the Frater nity of St. George." This fraternity consists of a number of persons anxious to resuscitate and encourage the ancient prac tice of archery. The buts or targets were fixed in the lower ground of the gardens. Flags, were erected to mark the spot from which the shooting was to take place, and every arrangement was made to secu , e the fairness of the match and the safety of the spectators. The shooting, under the direction of Mr. Betty (hbn ' self a famous bowman), was moro than commonly good. To those who are interested in such matters the following account of the bits at the target, placed at 80 yards,will be interesting : Watts, 253 ; Forsyth, 182 ; Betty, 154: Calvert, 104 ; and Edgington, 92. The force of the wind was very adverse to any accuracy of aim, hut notwithstanding this the shooting was of the first class. At the conclusion of the sports Mr. Betty and a large party sat down to an excellent di nner , a ft er w hi c h th e p r i zes were distributed to the successful toxopholites, who, in appropriate speeches, returned thanks for the honours they received. The daywas most unpropitious for an opening ; nevertheless, there is no doubt that these gardens, as a matter of profit, will be ad vantageous to the proprietors, and that the public will find in them a source of amusement, of health, and improvement. 'he Russian Ambassador's grand banquet at Ash burnbarn House, on Wednesday, the 22d instant, will be given to Lord Ly n dh urst , Si r R o b ert P ee l, Sm. his Excellency will give a grand dinner on Saturday, the 10th instant, to Lords Melbourne and John Russell, and other personages of note. Viscount Sidrnouth attained the age of eighty years on Tuesday, on which occasion his Lordship entertained a large and distinguished party at his seat, Richmond Park. THE NEW NAAL NOVEL "GENTLEMANJACK," 111/ THE AUTHOR OF CAVENDISH."--This is a lively bustling story, in which the eventful career of a gallant seaman is traced, from his entering the navy until he leaves it as a Cap tain. The various scenes which Mr. Neale graphically de picts make the reader "at home" at once upon the quarter deck. An interest is excited in each person whom he intro duces, and we go with the narrator to the end, as if the fiction were reality. Many passages are of remarkable ability, par ticularly that which narrates the mutiny at Spithead. The Sea Novel of " Gentlemari Jack" contains scenes not surpassed in interest by " Peter Simple."—Liverpool Mail. MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES.— There was a numerous attendance of Justices yesterday. to consider public business. Sir John Gibbon, Bart., was voted to the Chair. The minutes of the last Court, included the resolution granting 20,0001. out of the county-rate for the ex tension of the Hanwell County Lunatic Asylum, were read and confirmed. The Report of the visiting Justices of the House of Correction was read. Therein are 686 male pri soners, 281 females, and 10 children—generally healthy and ord erly- The report was received after some observations from Mr: Hall, as to the better construction of the prisoners' dock for the reception of male and female culprits. The New Prison report was agreed to. In that gaol there are 141 males, 70 females,. and 9 child-en—generally healthy and orderly. The Court then adjourned, T,4' 11 IRELAND. DUBLIN, MAY 30. The anniversary of his Majesty's birthday, which had fallen on Sunday the 28th inst., was celebrated yesterday by a re view of the troops in the Phoenix Park—a grand dejeune, given by his Excellency, the Lord Lieutenant, at the Vice. regal Lodge—and by the other usual marks of respect proper to such an occasion. ANOTHER TITHE VICTIM.—The Rebellion Attorneys can number another amongst the multitude of victims, and ano ther practical illustration has been exhibited of the blessings which they confer upon the people of Ireland. A corre spondent informs us that " Thomas Tiquin, of Shinrone, in the King's County, was arrested on the 14th of March last, at the suit of the Rev. William Brownlow Savage, and committed, under a writ of rebellion in Easter Term, to the Four Courts' Marshalsea, from whence, having been seized with typhus fever, he was removed, on Friday last, to Cork-street Hos pital, where he died this morning." Our correspondent adds that " the arrest was illegal, and an action was commenced against the Rev, plaintiff, which was to have been tried in the sittings after this Term." The party implicated is, however, perfectly safe from the action. The law, or an abuse of the law, enabled him— whether rightly or wrongly it would now be bootless to in quire--to incarcerate Tiquin as a rebel against tithes, and pestilence has completed the work. The hand of death- re leased the tithe victim from the sufferings of a dungeon. The Church loses the dead man's tithes, if he owed them; but the Parson escapes a law-suit. Thus the account is balanced, and the authority of the Christian Church, as by law esta blished in Ireland, is fully vindicated.—Dublin Evening Post. A novel scene occurred at the City Auction Mart yesterday, which we hope will prove an instructive lesson to all tithe cormorants, and persons who endeavour to force from a recu sant and conscientious people the support of a Church from which they dissent. The furniture lately taken from Dr. O'Reilly in lieu of certain Ministers' money which he did not deem himself, either by the moral or civil code, bound to pay, was brought into the Mart in order to be put up for sale, by two as ill-looking beings in the human form as could be obtained to do the business of the Rev. person at whose suit the distraint was matte. Several of our fellow citizens, taking an interest in the matter, attended, anxious, no doubt, to witness the sale, if a purchaser could be found, of which there appeared very little chance. The furniture was brought in by degrees. At first two chairs were placed on the floor, which the captors regarded with looks of self complacency, as trophies of their skill. Next came a table, followed by other articles, which would furnish a pretty large room. Having arranged them in order, and being brushed up for the occasion to make them attractive in every sense of the word, one of the captors proceeded to Mr. Sharpe and informed him the nature of his business—hoping that a profit able disposal would be effected, for which that gentleman would have the compliments and prayers of Archdeacon Ken nedy. Mr. Sharpe looked at the furniture with the eyes of a connoisseur, and shaking his head very meaningly, coolly told the agent of the Rev. Archdeacon, that he could have nothing whatever to do with the matter—that the best way to dispose of the articles was to brine- them whence they came, as for his part he could not think of making a sale of them. The captors, not calculating on such a disheartening answer, made the best way out of the mart, amid the loud laughter of nearly every one present. They then piled the furniture on a barrow or hand-cart outside the door, remaining there for some time the laughing-stock of a number of little boys and girls who witnessed them. We understand that the furniture taken from the Catholic curates by the emissaries of the Archdeacon, was returned by his Reverence, with a noti fication that he would not sell it. This loo's very fair, indeed. But we think we can discover a motive fur the apparent act of generosity. Is it not true that an action at law at the suit of one of the curates is now going on against the Archdeacon for illegal distress? Could this have any thing to do in shaking his resolution of selling the furniture of these clergy men ?-- Waterford Chronicle. O'CONNELL TESTIMONIAL.—This city displayed its wonted patriotism and devotion to the Liberator on Sunday, when a collection, equalling, if not surpassing, the most sanguine an ticipations, was made to repay, in some measure, the great debt due to him for his exertions in the cause of civil and religious liberty, not alone in the land of his birth, but throughout the universe, wherever his name and influence ex tend. The citizens came forward, willingly and cheerfully, to give their mite towards the compensation fund. They proved how fully they estimate the virtues and services of the man who has been their faithful guardian, advo cate, and leader—who unceasingly toils for their political welfare, and whose deserts can only be appreciated by those who fully understand their immense value. It was not the forced tribute of reluctant donors, but the spon taneous offering of a generous and attached people. In the country and neighbouring towns' parishes, the same enthusiasm was exhibited. With the Carrick-on- Suir, Car rickbeg, and Windgap subscription lists we elsewhere present our readers. They indicate forcibly and truly how strong is the attachment in which the people of these parishes hold the unri valled champion of their claims, and that they arc unwilling to be rivalled in devoted generosity by any others in the king dom. In the parish of Moncoin there was a magnificent contribution. No less than one hundred and five pounds were awarded by that spirited and exemplary locality as their donation to the fond. Our accounts from other pa rishes are equally cheering, and we have no doubt that the testimonial of a brave but oppressed nation's gratitude to the merits of its powerful and untiring advocate, will fully come up to the desire of his best and most anxious friends. Ross, with its usual generosity, contributed 70/ , and it is expected that future contributions will raise it to 901. These are facts which we would have the enemies of O'Connell, and the cause of which he is the champion, and the people with whom he is identified, well ponder. It is notorious that for many years there has not been so great a dearth of money as is everywhere experienced. Trade is stagnant—agricultural produce is at the lowest ebb—scarcely is there anything doing, and yet, when a call is made on the people to aid him who has been long their ardent leader, they generously and firmly take the opportunity of exhibiting to the world the estimate in which they hold him, and their irresistible desire to further the great cause in which he and they are equally embarked. —. Waterford Chronicle. GENERAL ASSOCIATION.—The proceedings of this body at their last meeting had reference principally to the Addresses to the King and the petitions in sustainment of the Melbourne Ministry which have been so generally adopted throughout the country. CHARGE OF HIGH TREASON.—The Derry Journal gives an account of the arrest of Mr. Crybbace, a clergyman, on a charge of high treason. It appears that whilst he was preach ing to a large meeting of respectable people, chiefly shop keepers and tradesmen, assembled near the magazine, he was unceremoniously seized by policemen, and carried to the guard house, and thence to the county gaol, where he now lies a prisoner en a most extraordinary charge, advanced on the affi davit of a policeman, namely, that he did (we quote literally from the warrant) " collect and harrang a number of persons in the Diamond of said city, by saying that William the Fourth had not a right to be the head of the Church, and that the Bishops had not a right to receive the benefits they enjoyed ; and, at the same time, made use of dangerous and improper language." We hear that a memorial from Mr. Crybbace to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, has been forwarded, and accompanied by a request from a vast number, including the most respectable of the inhabitants, praying his immediate li beration. The Freeman's Journal records the demise of its proprie tor, Mr. Patrick Lavelle, " a man," says the editor of that journal, " whose services in the cause of Ireland will be grate._ fully remembered so long as public virtue is appreciated and unswerving consistency admired in public men. Cut off in the flower of his days, and in the full maturity of his intel lect, his loss will be long deplored by those who were ac quainted with the purity of his mind—the urbanity of his.man nors—the kindness of his disposition, and the sterling inte grity of his principles." DISTRESS.-The County Down, as well as the Antrim, weavers arc suffering severely ; but in Clare the distress is truly dreadful, from the failure of the crops, particularly that of potatoes. This calamity, which has not occurred since the harvest of 1821, has brought nearly the entire of the popula tion to the verge of ruin. According to a letter from Mr. Duggan, a parish priest, relief has been sought without much success. Two or three persons, however, it seems, Messrs. \Visby, Burton, Studdart, and Kean, have given some seed out to their respective tenants. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 1. STOCKDALE V. CHAPMAN, ESQ. This was an action of alleged trespass and false impri sonment. The plaintiff had obtained a verdict, with 70/. damages, and a rule had since been obtained to set aside that verdict on the ground of excessive damages. The plaintiff in person showed cause against the rule. Mr. CHANNEL, in support of it, was stopped by the Court. Rule absolute. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JUNE 1. ADDENBROOKE V. SCOTT, BART. At the sitting of the Court this morning, Lord AnINGER pronounced the judgment of the Court in this case, which was argued yesterday. They were of opinion upon the construction of the covenants that they were limited to the mines and thick coal under the demised premises, which comprised only 177 acres of the 300 over which the mines extended, and to such portions as the occupations would enable them to supply. Both covenants being therefore limited to the demised premise!, the judgment of the Court was in favour of the defendant, the plaintiff's lessor. WALKER AND OTHERS V. RICHARDSON. This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, the lessees undiir the Bishop of Durham of the tolls and duties arising within the port of Stockton, to recover from the defendants, who are shipowners, the amount of certain anchorage and plankage dues. The defence set up was that the port of Stockton, though it might extend to the middle of the river Tees, did not extend to Middlesburgh, on the Yorkshire coast, where defendant's vessels were anchored. At the trial - before Mr.. Justice Patteson, at the last Assizes for the county of Durham, it appeared that the Bishop of Durham, in 1829, had demised all his interest in the port of Stock ton for 21 years, with all anchorage, plankage, and other tolls and duties to four persons, of whom plaintiffs were the only two surviving, in trust for the corporation of Stockton, .to keep the public streets and pavements of Stockton in repair. The plaintiffs put in a long series of leases from former Bishops, commencing so early as 1602, leasing the tolls on the same trusts as in the lease of 182.9. The de fendant put in letters patent and petit. tecnth to the fifteenth century, confi Stockton within the limits of the Bishr The Learned Judge told the Jury to pr the Crown of the whole port of Stocks_ .ney 1...- for the plaintiff, subject to two objections raised by defend. ant's Counsel to the validity of the lease of 1829.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, JUNE 1. WARWICK AND CLAGGETT ' S BANKRUPTCY. The first meeting of the creditors under the fiat issued. against Messrs. Warwick and Claggett, extensive American merchants, was held to -day for the proof of debts and the choice of assignees. M-. Warwick, who had absented him self since the firm became a bankrupt, had not surrendered to the fiat up to the conclusion of this day's business. The liabilities of the firm arc not yet ascertained with full cor rectness, owing to the state of the commercial claims with America, and the assets will be comiaratively small. The total amount of the proofs to-day we: e about 60,0001. Mr. Meinertzhan and Mr. Pettyvaughan were chosen as as signees. It is understood that the fiat issued against Madame Vestris has been superseded, a composition having been tendered and accepted by the creditors. The second meet ing of the creditors was fixed to take place to-morrow. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEB ONE. Yesterday two dashingly-dressed young men, who gay their names Elisha Penncfather and John Rickards, the former describing himself as a " professional gentleman," residing at present at Morey's Hotel, Piccadilly, and the latter at 27, Augusta-street, Reg - ent's Park, were brought before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. HOSKINS, charged with furiously driving while in a state of intoxication, and thereby endangering the lives of foot and other passengers. —Fined 40s. each. ~...,‘ S tj p i ,. ~..„7.. ..:.. , e cf . .: A,,,,,, ionirat i Nt , i 0 ,4.4 dc , ' firm' . i 44 -X- top'saimm . . 4 resume allilai ton; and they foun WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday Thomas London was placed at the bar, her fore Mr. Codd, charged, in company with several othe_ men, with the following desperate and alarming highway robbery on the person of Simon Reardon, tailor, White Lion-court, Bell-alley, London-wall. The complainant between two and three o'clock that morn kg in a public-house in Castle -street, Shoreditch, where were also the prisoner and three of his companions. He left about three. Shortly after he was followed by them, who having; overtaken him, he was- suddenly attacked by them. Ha was tripped up, and held while the prisoner put his hand in his waistcoat pocket, from which he abstracted ss. Gd. Witness resisted, and in the scuffle laid hold of the pri soner's coat, at the same time calling out violently, "Police." The prisoner's companions pulled him away. but in doing which one of the skirts came off. They ran away just as a police constable came up. Complainant was much hurt in the struggle. Police constable Hardwick, H 170, heard the alarm raised by the complainant, and which also disturbed the neighbours. On arriving near the spot the prisoner passed him ; witness was about to stop him, when he pointed to the complainant, who was on the ground, and to some men who were running away. By the time witness reached the complainant he had got up, and showed witness the skirt of' the coat which he had in his possession. He stated that the man it belonged to took the money out of his pocket. Witness knew the coat belonged to the prisoner ; when, as James Smith, H 122, was present, witness proceeded in pursuit of the prisoner, giving information of the robbery to his brother officer. Mr. CODD directed that he (the prisoner) should be committed to the House of Correction for three months. THAMES- OFFICE. Yesterday William I?lizind, a seaman, was brought before Mr. BRODERIP and Mr. GREENWOOD, charged, on his owu confession, with the wilful murder of Eliza Davis, bar-maid at the King's Head public-house, in Frederick-street, Re gent's Park, on the morning of Tuesday, the 9th of May last. John Mitchell, a police constable, No. 101 K, about one o'clock that morning, was on duty in the Cornwall road, when the prisoner crossed over to him, and asked him if he recollected the name of Eliza Davis, the barmaid at the King's Head. Witness said he did recollect such a name. The prisoner said—" Yes, she was murdered—her throat was cut. It was a horrid deed." He asked the prisoner if be knew anything of the circumstances, and he replied, " Yes, I do ; I am the person who committed the murder. I did it f revenrr b e." Witness asked him if he knew what he was talking about. The prisoner said he did, and that he was the murderer of Eliza Davis, and had come to give himself up to justice, for he had had no peace of mind ever since he murdered the poor girl. Witness then t9ok him into custody, and removed him to the station-house. Mr. BRODERIP—Did the prisoner appear oomposed when he delivered himself up ? Mitchell—Quite so. He had a pipe in his mouth, and was quite sober and collected, but appeared to be labouring under ' ()Teat mental anxiety. Parker, a police-sergeant, No. 10 li, was at the sta- tion-house when he was brought there. He"was locked up with two other men, and about an hour afterwards he was attacked with a violent fit, in which he continued for up wards of two hours. When he recovered he was again asked if be persisted in what he had stated respecting the murder, and he said he knew nothing about it, and had no recollection of having mule any confession whatever. James Shepherd, police sergeant, No. 2.2 K, confirmed the evidence of Parker, and said that the prisoner was quite sober when he was brought to the station-house, and said he had not been comfortable since he committed the murder. It required the united strength of five policemen to keep the prisoner down while he was in fits, and the sur geon who attended entertained great fears for his life. Mr. BRODERIP—What ship did he belong to, and when did he come home ?—The police sergeant stated that thf, prisoner came home in the Boyne, Captain Richardson, and reached England on the 25th of April. He had been in the East India Company's service, and was sent home in valided. Mr. BRODERIP—Does he answer the description of the person who is supposed to have murdered Eliza Davis ? Shepherd—No, Sir, he does not, and we have not been able to obtain any evidence against him. Mr. BaoDERIP asked the prisoner if he was disposed to say anything in explanation of his extraordinary conduct ? The prisoner, who is a tall young man, of rather pleasing manners, replied that he really did not recollect making any observations relating to the murder. Mr. BRODERIP—You had been at the Pavilion Theatre, what did you see there? Prisoner—l saw the melo-dram a of The Gipsy King. Mr. BRUDERIP—Any other piece ? Prisoner—No, I did not enter the Theatre until The Gipsy King had commenced. Mr. BRODERIP—You have given a good deal of trouble, and caused a good deal of excitement. How came you to tell those people you were the murderer ? Prisoner—l dont know I'm sure, Sir. I had been drinking a little (lu ring the day. Mr. BRoDEnIP said if there was the slightest prospect or the poor foolish fellow at the bar being the man who had. committed the murder he sl ould detain him. He believed. that he was in a state of half drunkenness, which, operating on:a very weak mind, had induced him after the excitement-. of a theatrical representation to confess that he was the murderer of Eliza Davis. He had no doubt the prisoner was subject to fits. Parker—Yes he is, Sir ; I have ascertained that. Mr. BRODERIP—Don ' t you recollect telling the police constable you were the murderer of the barmaid? Prisoner —Not one word of it ; it is all a dream to me. Mr. BRODERIP asked the police if they had any reason to believe the sailor was concerned in the murder ? The police replied in the negative. Mr. BRODERIP—And you, Mr. Wadley, do you think. th.s is the man ? Mr. Wadley—No, Sir. Mr. BIIoDERIP—Do your suspicions still rest on one par— ticular individual? Mr. Wadley—They do, Sir. He is.- still at large, and I should know him if I were to see him. Mr. BaonEnir —This man here has but one eye. Mr. Wadley—Yes, Sir, and it I had known that I should... not have come here. Rhynd was then discharged, and was soon afterward attacked with another fit, in which he continued at a neigi bwiring public-house for upwards of an hour. He was se► ►t home to his lodgings in Poplar, and at night, on inakii , inquiries alter him, he appeared quite recovered. Yesterday the charity children belonging to the s veral schools , within the bills of mortality visited the Cathed ca l Church of St. Paul's, attended by their Rectors, Beadl Masters, Mistresses, and other public functionaries, for he purpose of hearing the annual sermon, which was peached b' Lord Bishop of Chichester, in the presence of the na r _ quis of Camden, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriffs, and, se veral of the nobility and gentry. Many of the children be it hig to distant parishes arrived in omnibuses, and, notwitl , 3 , .and ing the weather in the early part of the morning was. rather unfavourable, the numerous assemblage present far sx cee d e d that of last year. Among those that occupied t' ae scarlet seats were many foreign ladies and gentlemen, who seemed to take a lively interest in the pleasant scene present ed to their view. Divine service concluded about half-pas'. two, after which the children proceeded to their separate sat , J ols, and were. supplied with a good dinner of old English fare, plum pudding and roast beef.
