The dinner took place at the Holly Bush, the house of meeting of the Local Committee. A company of seventy sat down to dinner. CHARLES CAMERON, Esq., the Chairman of the Local Committee, presided. He was supported on his right by T. Wood, jun., Esq., the late - candidate, C. Carvick, Esq., and Mr. Prior ; and on his left by Colonel Wood, M.P., Viscount Stormont, M.P., Sir Peter Laurie, the Rev. Mr. Evans, &c. The glasses having been charged, and the usual loyal toasts having been given, The CHAIRMAN gave " The health of Mr. Thomas Wood, jun., of Littleton."—(Unanimous cheering.) The health of Mr. Wood was drank with three times three, and followed by repeated bursts of approbation. Mr. WOOD rose, and said, doubtless many of them, if not all, had seen and read the effusion of one of their late op ponents. He alluded to the last address from Mr. Hume. It was at once a song of triumph and a hymn of defeat— (A laugh.) It talked of conquest, and yet it complained of being beaten ; in the same breath there was joy and wailing. Much was said of the great triumph of principle ; but the principle was represented to be wholly confined to one side ; and although great was the triumph, still every one was called upon to make redoubled exertions to secure a greater triumph—(Laughter.) But they might pass by such exhibitions, and look to the real state of the case. They had brought him forward to advocate the maintenance of the Constitution, and he had cheerfully and to the full concurred in their views. It was entirely and solely as one devoted to the upholding of the Monarchy, the religion, and the institutions of the country, that he had become a candidate—(Hear, hear.) He would then, as he had done on the hustings and elsewhere, utterly deny that he was bound or attached to any party.—( Hear, hear.) Let them hope that there was now a Government which would seriously and in good faith set about the work of true Reform.---(Hear, hear.) If men could be known by their conduct, they had a right to conclude that the present Government would be found both capable of and willing to administer well the affairs of the country. They had now a Government that would, when there was danger, stand upon the ramparts themselves ; " and, gentlemen," added Mr. Wood, with marked emphasis, " they shall not stand alone."—(Enthusiastic applause.) To this he would only add an earnest desire that the people and Government might join in one common struggle to promote the peace, the prosperity, and the happiness of their common country. He concluded by thanking them very sincerely for the honour they had done him, and sat down amidst much cheering. " The health of the Chairman" having been proposed by Mr. Wood, and drank with cordial approbation, that gen tleman returned thanks, and attributed any service he had been able to render, to the exertions of the Committee. Mr. LOWNDES proposed " The health of Lord Stormont," which was drank with three times three. Lord STORMONT regretted that he had not been able to assist in the late struggle. The fact was that he had had his own battle to fight, and then immediately to hasten to Scotland to try to assist his friend Sir George Murray. He begged to assure them, however, that at all times his hum ble exertions should be at their command, and that it would afford to him a peculiar pleasure, whether in public or pri vate life, to endeavour to promote the welfare of Hamp stead.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN gave " The health of Colonel Wood," which was received with a general burst of approbation, and followed by three times three. Colonel WOOD was most grateful both for the way in which his health had been proposed, and that in which it had been received. He was free to confess that when his son first informed him, as he did by letter, he being in Brecknockshire, that he was about to become a candidate, he felt considerable fear lest his son should be found inade quate to the honourable post assigned to him. The state of the poll, however, had removed all those doubts ; and now made him express the hope that, though his son was a young man, and new to political life, he had not damaged the good cause in which they all took so lively an interest. —(Great cheering, and cries of " No, no.") Of one thing he felt assured, that his son, having once entered upon the task, there would, there could, be no faltering on his part, and that no circumstances would ever induce him to aban don them.--(Enthusiastic applause.) The CHAIRMAN proposed " The health of Sir Robert Peel and his Majesty's Ministers." The toast was drank with three times three, and loud applause. Lord STORMONT returned thanks, as the only individual present connected with the Government. Ministers looked not for support to the mob and the rabble—( Hear, hear) — but to the intelligent and the educated. A great deal had been said about an intrigue, and the parties carrying it on, one being in Rome and the others in Windsor. But the absurdity was too gross and the charge is now given up. A new ground of attack is that the present Ministry cannot intend any Reform. There were two sorts of Reform, one to destroy, one to preserve. The latter would be the one pursued by the present Government, at the same time they would be sincerely anxious to remove all blemishes from the institutions of the country.—(Hear, hear.) All that the Ministry asked was a fair trial, and it fully expected it.— (Hear, hear.) They all knew that there were many who were prepared to oppose any address that might be moved ; but he would venture to assure them that the Ministers had the fullest confidence that they would be able to meet Parliament and to satisfy the wishes of the country, and that their majority for the Address was as sure as that of any Ministry that had ever held office.—(Great cheering.) Some other toasts were drank, and at midnight we left the company yet in the full enjoyment of an entertainment unmarked by even the slightest accident. THE MARKETS.

Several bets were made on this race without producing any mate rial changes, except in Curtius, whose advance from 18 to 1 has been by such almost imperceptible degrees that it is not a little sur prising how he rose to 12 to 1.

SHERIFF'S COURT. BARNETT V. GLOSSOP. This was an action brought by a gentleman well known to the literary world against the manager and proprietor of the Victoria Theatre, to recover the sum of 151. for the copyright of a dramatic piece entitled Victorine, or TII Sleep on it, bargained and sold to the defendant. Mr. DOWLING was counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. THOMAS appeared on behalf of the defendant. James Phillips, a glass-manufacturer, of No. 190, Regent street, stated that he was acquainted with the plaintiff, who was a dramatic author of great celebrity. The defendant was the manager and proprietor of the Victoria Theatre. On Monday, the 20th of October, he took a dramatic piece in manuscript, entitled Victorine, or I'll Sleep on it, at the request of the plaintiff, to the defendant's resi dence, and left it there. The dramatic piece he referred to was the sequel to Victorine, or I'll Sleep on it, by Buckstone, which was originally performed at the Adelphi Theatre, and afterwards at the Victoria, where it had a very successful run of 100 nights. On the following Friday he saw the defend ant on the stage of his theatre, who was very much pleased at having the pioce and asked him what sum he thought the plaintiff would be entitled to for it. Witness said he thought 201. would be a very fair remuneration. The defendant re plied, " Well, I saw young Barnett last night, and agreed to give him 151. for the piece." Witness remarked to him it was, in his opinion, rather too small. The defendant then made answer, that this would be an opening to the plaintiff to get pieces at his theatre, and thereby enable him to be properly remunerated for this and others. The de fendant then went into the manager's room and cast the characters for the piece, having previously stated that it should be put into immediate rehearsal, and be ready for performance in the course of three weeks. 'Witness knew not whether it was or was not rehearsed. Witness was told by the defendant he should be glad to see him present at the rehearsal. It was advertised during a fortnight in the play-bills being under rehearsal, and would shortly be produced at the Victoria Theatre. Cross-examined—The first time he went to the defend ant's residence was on the 20th of October. The piece was in manuscript. Witness read the piece. The de fendant informed him the next time that the. manuscript .9,bleen re a d \ z‘a Ask it. ssu tha deco . performance about a fortnight. Was partied quainted with theatricals, but could not state whether it was the practice to publicly announce in the playbills pf theatres the intended performance of new pieces when the pieces were not afterwards performed. Was positive the cha racters for the piece were cast. Was not aware whether the various portions of the piece were distributed among the ac tors to study. Could not tell whether the piece was an original production or a translation. Had never st - sen a French ori ginal of it. It was in three acts. Thoug;:t it was fit for representation without curteilment. He considered the piece a very good one. It was sent back by the defendant to make alterations. Witness could not tell whether it 3vas returned to the defendant. The bills of the theatre were printed weekly, unless alterations took place in the perform ances. Was not aware whether there were any alterations in the pieces during the fortnight the second part of Victorine was announced in the playbills for speedy performance. The 17th of November the announcement of the intended. production of the piece was withdrawn from the playbills. Witness went to the defendant and asked him the reason he had withdrawn the announced piece from the playbills, when the defendant stated the piece was rubbish, and he would have nothing to do with it ; that was the reason he had withdrawn its announcement from the playbills. Witness told the plaintiff what the defendant had said respecting the piece. It was in the defendant's posses sion about three weeks. The plaintiff had written many dramatic pieces. Witness considered that the public an nouncement of the intended performance of the second part of Victorine had done the plaintiff injury. Did not know whether the plaintiff had offered the piece to any other manager, but believed that he was at one time going to Mr. Davidge, of the Surrey Theatre, to offer him the piece. Witness was not present when the plaintiff went to the Surrey Theatre. Did not know that the plaintiff applied to the defendant for a sum of money on account, but had been told by the plaintiff that be had done so, in conse quence of the announcement of the piece for production, and his belief that the defendant woeld advance him the money. He thought '2O/. was the value of the piece, and had been informed by the plaintiff, that the defendant had bargained for the piece upon those terms, upon condition that the defendant did what he thought proper with the manuscript.. Knew Colley and Mitchell ; they were mem bers of the Victoria company. Was at the plaintiff's house about a fortnight ago. Diet not see tne manuscript at the plaintiff's. The plaintiff acquainted him that he had the piece back from the defendant for alteration. The last time he saw the piece in the plaintiff's possession, was during the period it was under advertisement. He saw the piece on the defendant's table on the 21st of November. Did not know that the manuscript was now in the plain tiff's possession. Richard John Raymond, the author of the play of the Irish Gentleman, stated that he had the misfortune to be an author, for he found it very difficult to exist by means of his productions. Had hoard read the second part of Victorine ; it was an original production, able and meri torious. It was an original piece from the beginning to end. It was fully worth 301. Was sure that sum was not too much for an author to exist, and not live, by his talents. He meant by existence having bread and cheese--and by living, port wine and other luxuries. Managers might make fortunes in these times, if they were prudent, and acted upon the principle of live and let live. The reading of Victorine took an hour and three quarters. Thought the piece was not too long. It was read to him by the plaintiff about three months ago, before it was sent to the defendant. Made several suggestions to the plaintiff by way of amending the piece, but knew not whether he adopted them. The plaintiff informed him that he had availed himself of his suggestions. Those suggestions tended to condense the piece. Had had a piece of his own performed since Mr. Bultver's Act for the protection of authors passed. Had been informed by the plaintiff that he had applied to the defendant for some money on account, but forgot whether he mentioned the amount. Understood from the plaintiff that he requested an advance of money from the defendant on account of 15/., which had been agreed upon by the defendant for the copyright. This being the whole of the evidence on the part of the plaintiff, Mr. THOMAS, the defendant's counsel, submitted that there was no case to go the Jury, the 54th George 111., cap. 15G, Bth of Anne, cap. 19, and Mr. Bulwer's Copy right Protection Act, insisting that every agreement for a copyright shall be in writing. Mr. DOWLING urged, that to render such defence avail able, the defendant ought to have pleaded specially, in ac cordance with the new rules. The UNDER SHERIFF, after some consideration, decided upon referring the counsel for the defendant to the Court. of King's Bench, inasmuch as the question was one of too much importance for him to nonsuit the plaintiff. Mr. THOMAS having addressed the jury in a speech of considerable length and ability, called witnesses, who swore that the plaintiff bad admitted that he took the piece to the theatre, and gave it to the messenger, named Bennett, who was examined, and deposed that be never received it. The UNDER SHERIFF having summed up the evidence with great perspicuity and minuteness, the Jury retired to consider of their verdict, and having been locked up about three-quarters of an hour, they returned into court, and found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 151. CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday afternoon an inquisition was held before Thomas Stirling, Esq., and a respectable jury, at the sign of the Plough, Kens►ngton Gravel-pits, to Inquire concern ing the death of Mrs. Susannah Thompson, aged eighty one years. From the evidence of Mr. Hora, surgeon, of Notting hill, and other witnesses, it appeared that on Tuesday af ternoon, the 27th inst., the deceased who had for years la boured under a severe cough, was taken in a fit. A ca thartic and other remedies were promptly administered to her, but without effect., and about eight o'clock the same evening the deceased expired, without doubt from natural causes.• After viewing the body the jury t-eturned a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God." After Mr. Hora had given his evidence he addressed the Coroner, and said he was sure he would not think what he was going to say at all disrespectful to himself or the jury. He bad long felt it, in common with the majority of the me dical profession, a great evil that they should be called upon at all times and at all hours to give attendance at inquests, for the purpose of giving evidence, or performing post mor tem examinations, without receiving any remunerations for their lost time. A men ing of the profession would shortly be called for the purpose of petitioning the Legislature on the subject, and if the coroner and jury could render them any assistance to attain their object, the whole profession would be very much obliged to them. The CORONER regretted it was not in his power to grant him some remuneration. It was, certainly; a great evil, but he thought he had as much reason to complain as Mr. Hora. Some time since he was called upon to hold an in quest on a poor fatherless and motherless child, who had been compelled to sleep w ith h er s i s t er un d er a manger. In the morning when they were found th e r e , th e man t o whom the stables belonged struck one of them over the head, and in two or three doys afterwards the child died. The occurrence created great excitement in the neighbour hood, and the inquest was adjourned for the purpose of having the head opened by the parish surgeon: On their re-assembling he was informed the operation bad not been performed, the surgeon refusing to do so unless he was paid. Finding expostulation had no effect be proceoded . to the parish vestry, which was sitting at the time, where he was told they paid their surgeon " by the lump," and operations of that nature formed no part of their contract. He repre sented to them the excited state of the neighbourhood, and told them he thought is was. a case to which they ought to send a surgeon. They then said they had no funds out of which to do it. Finding he was unsuccessful he returned to the Jury (to use the old gentleman's own words) " with his tail between his legs." He then sent for a surgeon him self and paid him a guinea for his fee, which he had never got back to that day. Mr. Hora acknowledged it was very bard Mr. Stirling should have to pay out of his own pocket for medical at tendance. He did not doubt if the press would condescend to notice the matter they would obtain what they desired. The conversation then dropped. The most recent narrative of travels in America is that of Mr. Arfwedson, and is deservedly commanding great attention. This gentleman ascended the Hudson, crossed the romantic Catskill Mountains, and the hollow where, according to Washington Irving, Rip Van Winkle enjoyed a twenty years' nap, to Athens. Thence he proceeded to the New Le banon Springs, and in that neighbourhood saw that curious sect called the " Shakers." He continued his journey to the state of Massachusetts, and visited all the other states and principal towns. We greatly admire his good humour and feeling. " The United States and Canada" is altogether a pleasant work, and his remarks on the penal system of the Americans, and of the different prisons he visited in the States, deserve serious attention.

Between two equal players, the younger (or, in the original et de ?lunar caracter) ought to allow the other the choice of the pieces, the white being always reckoned preferable. Those, however, who are short-sighted, usually prefer the black ; it seems right to resign the latter to the ladies, because, on the black, the whiteness of their hands is set off to greater advantage !"
