THE THEATRES.' COVENT• GARDEN.—The season closed last night at -this Theatre, with the Tragedy of hamlet, and the Pantomime of Mother Goose. The part of Hamlet was throughout admirably performed, by YOUNG, and was marked by critical precision, as well animation and dignity. He received the warm applause of a very numerous audience. The-Duke and Duchess of KENT were present. and received every testimony of popular respect, " God save the King" was given by the Vocal Performers.—At the end of the play, Mr. Fikw . .. CETT came forward and delivered the following Address to the audience, which excited warm and reiterated applause " LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—Again the Proprietors of this Theatre have to express their grateful thanks for a most pro sperous and successful season. " Aided by your liberal patronage, the National Drama has been sustained in all its various branches, in a manner (the Proprietors hope) worthy of this great and enlightened Me tropolis. " If we look back to the performances of the season, we shall find that 7:ragedy has been supported by a combination of rare and distinguished histrionic talent; and Authors, both ancient and modern,, have had their Tragedies acted With a strength of company perhaps never excelled. Comedy has kept even pace with her sister Muse, and your plaudits have greeted the performance of most of our Classical Comic Writ ers. "In Opera great advance has been made. The execution of the most beautiful of Mozairr's Music, with the utmost precision and effect, is a proof that what has hitherto been the sole pride and boast of foreign talent, is likewise attain able to English musical genius and capacity. " The lighter pieces have also had their full share of your favour, and have successfully answered the purposeof exciting hilarity and good humour. " The Proprietors, therefore, hope they have only to pursue the same steps to merit the same encouragement; and rely ing confidently on the continuance of your favours, they most respectfully bid you farewell, Ladies and Gentlemen, until the day of re-opening, Monday, the 6th of September. " The Performers beg leave to add their heartfelt acknow ledgments for your unvaried kindness and indulgence; and until our next merry meeting, we wish you all health and happiness." ENGLISII OPERA HOUSE.—The new Melo- Drama which was represented for the first time last night at this Theatre, under the title of Self- Sacrefice, or The Maid of the Cottage, is one of the most interesting pieces of the kind that has yet been submitted to the Public.—The following is an outline of the FABLE. " The interest of this piece arises from the vio lent suspicions which attach to Ida (Miss KELLY), an interesting female whom the Count Valmore is about to marry, from the circum stance of ter being found alone with the bleeding child of the Count. She is believed to have mur dered him. Concealed, she has witnessed the per petration of the crime, by Schwitzer, but will not disclose the name of the assassin, because she will not give a guilty father up to justice. She is im prisoned, but through the contrivance of her sup posed father, makes her escape. New perils await her, and to conceal his crimes, he is about to destroy her, but delays the execution of his purpose, and Ida escapes to the retreat of the King of the Beggars. Here she is pursued by her enemy, and claimed as a maniac. The Marquis Leone, her real father, who had returned to de mand Ida from Schwitzer, to whom, for particular reasons, he has entrusted her in her infancy, has been taught to believe her guilty. He finds her in the Beggar's abode, and satisfied that he has been abused, insists on her being given up to him. The villainy of Schwitzer is now avowed ; he de fies the injured father, disarms him, and is about to take .his life, but is detained by Ida for a moment, while the Marquis escapes. Leone is pur sued by,'Schwitzer, but the latter failing tolover take him, again seeks Ida, but finds his retreat cut off through her means, by the destruction of a bridge. He braves the foaming torrent, and Ida is again in his power, and about to fall a victim to his fury, when a shot from the Marquis, who has returned with Valnwre, and a party of his friends, puts an end to the villain's existence, and the piece terminates with the restoration of the Maid of the Cottage to the arms of her fulker ant! lover." NESS KELLY, who performed Ida, the heroine of the piece, was, as usual, admirable in her al►- peal to the feelings. The character is peculiarly fitted to her powers, and she exerts them to; the best effect. Indeed the whole of the Performers zealously supported this very interesting and affecting drama. Mr. T. P. COOKE, who may be considered as one of the best representatives of terrific characters,' depending chiefly on action, made a strong impression on the audience, and the horrific qualities of his acting in Schwitzer was agreeably relieved by the humour of IJARLEY in the part of Jean Jaques, a Beggar King. PEAR.- MAN, in Valmore, in acting and singing, gave goad support to the piece, which was very warmly rece4ved by a numerous audience, and which will, no doubt, be very attractive. The music is very creditable to the talents of the Composer Mr. G. REEVES. Yesterday at one o'clock the Princess AUGUSTA left the Queen's Palace for Windsor. Prince LEOPOLD visited the Duke and Duchess of KENT yesterday, at Kensington Palace. Yesterday Prince LEOPOLD had a numerous dinner party at Marlborough House. Prince ESTERHAZY paid his respects to the PRINCE REGENT yesterday, at Carlton House. The PRINCE REGENT appeared in the Austrian uniform at his visit to Prince ESTERHAZY, on Sunday,. in honour of the Emperor of AUSTRIA'S Birth-day. The FRENCH AMBASSADOR gave an elegant en tertainment yesterday to Prince ESTERHAZY, and a large party of distinguished personages, at his house, Portland-place. Lady ELIZABETH MONTAGUE, second (laughter of the Duke and Duchess of MANCHESTER, it is said in the fashionable circles, soon give her hand to Lient.- Colonel T. ti-re LE, of the Guards, son of the Right lioh. HOMAS•STEELE. ,• ORDER OF THE DAY TO BE OBsErivrD TO-MORROW BY THE PATRIOTS OF SMITHFIELD-MARKET. The•ln-,Stallation to commence : as, on Cattle Days, by the,leaders taking the stalls nearest the Hospital with this,differenee, that they are not to be ti.ed.,uvas usual, either by the heads or horns. It is a day of unrestrained freedom. To prevent uneasy recollections or anticipa,. tions, a slight screen to be thrown across the way leading to Newgate and the 014 Bailey, so that they will then be kept out of sight for one day, at least. The Hogs will take the Sties set, apart for them the other Cattle will occupy the several Pens. The more inflammatory Orators will take the ex tremes of the Market, so that, when lighted up at both ends, the explosion, should it t O e place, may he as near the centre as possible:'' As the show of black cattle is expected to be numerous, they will he under the care of consta bles, to prevent them from goring each other. The calves will occupy carts, in order that they may be better heard and distinguished. No gin till after the debates; this is expressly understood as indispensible to the order of the day. No hanging at the new drop on that day; it would be an unseasonable interruption. No horse market, but a plentiful skew of asses instead. Mules in abundance. Females not suffered to debate without proper credentials: -None qualified who cannot . show a black eye or a bloody nose in the cause of civil liberty. It is hoped none will come with their heads tied up, as 'all allusion to Newgate and Night Caps should be avoided. The Majesty of the People to be respected the whole day, but nothing else. The Orators to abuse freely and liberally all ranks above them selves, and to point out the propriety, and even the .necessity, of changing places. The words—Halter, Gibbet, Hulks, and Cords of all sorts, to be wholly sunk by the Speakers, not as being irrelevant, but insulting to the audi ence, which cannot be thought so ignorant as to require any mention of them. RADICAL REFORM RESOLUTIONS, HUMBLY SUBMITTED TO THE SMITHFIELD LE- GISLATORS. HENRY HUNT, Esq. President. " There shall be in England seven halfpenny loaves sold for a penny. The three-hooped pot shall have ten hoops, and I will make it felony to drink small beer. All the Realm shall be in common ; and in Cheapside shall my'paltrey go to grass. " There shall be no money ; all shall eat and drink upon my score, and I will apparel them all in one livery ; that they may agree like brothers ; and worship me, their Lord. " We will not leave one Lord, nor one Gentle- man. " I have thought upon it, it shall he so ; burn all the records of the Realm ; my mouth shall be the Parliament of England. " Men shall hold of me in capile. And we charge and command that their wives shall be as free as heart can wish or tongue can tell. THE GHOST OF SHAKSPEARE.. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BELTING R( ST.

LAW IN FELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 19. PATENT CHAINS. BR UNTON V. HAWKES AND CO. This was an application to the Court, for the purpose of dissolving.an injunction obtained by the plaintiff about the commencement of last Jour, for the purpose of preventing the defendants flout manufacturing a certain.description of chains, windlasses, and anchors, used for mooring ,ships, The patent of the plaintiff, it hail been ; then con tended, rendered it unlawful for other persons to manufacture those ,articles. Mr. WETHERELL and Mr. SHADWELL argued at length in support of the motion. The chain cables manufactured by the defendants. were not prohib,ited by the specification of the parent which appeared to them unintelligible. Mr. HART and Mr. GIRDLESTON spoke .against the motion. The nature of the improvements iti the ehain•cables, manufactured according to ,the patent„eonsisted in. a stay which was put between the two sides of each link, at an equi-distant.point from both, ends, From the great stress ,which . was occasi onally made by. a strong gale, &c. oft the cable, if not . unfrequently happened that the sides of the links, which links were originally rather of an eliptical form, became compressed into close parallels,, and were consequently ren dered brittle, to the manifest danger of the ship.' Captain Brown endeavoured to remedy this in convenience by having 'a stay put between the sides, in order to keep tbein in their original situ- , ations ; but his experiment was not altogether successful, for the middle part of the stay used by him was thicker than its ends, and, of course r when the . pressure came on the links, the small points of his stays forced a passage through the sides of the links. Aware of this inconvenience, the plaintiff caused stays to be used in the links tnanufactured by him, which were thick at the ends, inserted into the sides of the links, and think in the middle part this contrivance proved doubly useful, for they not only supported the. ,sides of the links, but they also allowed, by their slightness in the middle part, liberty to each con-, fleeted link to move with ease. . Vie LORD CHANCELLOR said, that he woulde not express his opinion as to the validity of the: patent, but that he would dissolve the injunction, with liberty however to the plaintiff to make ap plication for its renewal, if the verdict of a Jury, on the trial for an alleged invasion of his patent, should establish the fact of the defendants haying invaded it. BEATJMONT V. BROMLEY. This was a motion made by Mr. HEALD on Saturday, to stay the proceedings in an action of ejectment between the parties. The. cause of the motion being made will appear from the fol lowing circumstances :—ln 1789 the uncle of the present defendant purchased a quantity of land of the plaintiff's ancestor, in Leicestershire, and cer tain rights regarding the payment of tithes ac companied the agreement. In 1808, an act passed. the Legislature, for the enclosure of a common. contiguous to the defendant's estate, the conse quence of which was a great improvement in. the value of his land. Soon after, a bill was filed by the present plaintiff, disputing the title of the de fendant to the rights which were supposed to be conveyed by the agreement of 1789. This ques tion came on to be argued before the Vice-Chan cellor, and his Honour had directed an ejectment to try the right of tie parties. A motion was now made before the Lord-Chancellor, in the na ture of an appeal, against this order, on the ground that it was to the interest of neither party that this issue should be tried. The LORD CHANCELLOR to-day expressed his opinion against the orde.r made by the Vice-Chan— cellor, and said, that this c ,se involved a most important question. Certainly this was not a. matter in which an issue should be directed, and, he felt hilly convinced that it would be injurioux to the interests of both parties. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JULY 19, THE MARLBOROUGH GOLD PLAT THE EARL OF SHAFTESBURY AND OTHERS V. HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH AND THO-. MAS TRIPHOOK. Sir ARTHUR PIGGOTT stated, that the motion its. this case stood over, that the. Noble defendant might put in his answer, or file an affidavit, explanatory of the circumstances relative to gold plate being out of his possession. His Grace had that morn ing put in his answer ; he therefore had to request of his Honour that he would allow the 11106011 to stand over until Wednesday. The Vlca-CHANCELLOR—" I expected his Grace would have filed au affidavit, making such a disclosure as would have enabled the Noble plaintiffs to have amended their supplementary bill; but perhaps the answer makes - a full disclo sure. I cannot allow the motion to stand for 'Wednesday; 1 have never yet allowed the regu lar business of the Court to be broken in on. '[he best way will be for Mr. Bell now to state the substance of his Grace's answer." Mr. BeLL then stated that his Grace, after ad miffing the rights of the parties in his answer, admitted that there were two swords belonging to the great Duke of Alarlborough ; that one of them was iu the possession of Lord Churchill, and the. • other (time diamond sword) the Noble plaintiffs bad gained possession of, it having been - seized under an execution by a creditor of his Grace.— He also acknowledged Osat he had allowed the defendant, Triphook, to remove the gold plate in question from Blenheim, for the purposes of raising a sum of money on it, and to have the arms of Churchill engraved on it. That he, his Grace, had kept, and had then in his possession, one plate, one spoon, and one knife and fork, being pit of the gold plume which he had kept as patterns, and that it held been his intention to have had the gold plate returned to Blenheim he tore the annivetsary of the battle of Blenheim, when he intended to entertain his neigbbmirs, but was prevented by the suits which had been com menced iu that Court against him, which restrain ed him from receiving the rents or cutting down the timber of the estates, by which weans he wax unable to pay :he persons employed on the estate, vid man!e ii t. , :e . ccf•sary for trim to raise money ; Ire oS e.
