THE THEATREAe KING'S THEATRE.—The new Opera of Il Crociato 'in Egitto was repeated on Saturday. `Fltere was an overwhelming audience. Signor VELuTTI was received by a large majority of the audience with great applause, and with a very faint °PPosition. As a musical curiosity he excites at tention, and it must be acknew hedged that he Possesses extraordinary powers, but nothing out cf natures can long please, and though we hope that he will he treated with liberal kindness lvhile he remains here, yet we wish him a safe retur n to a country where such performers are more suitable to the general taste. The Opera was otherwise rendered very pleasing by the 'Gas of CARADORI, Mademoiselle Cr'Attcht., and the rest of the pefformem COVENT-GARDEN.—After the Play of The 'ran Chest, which has been too often performed to ;dolit of any novel remark, a new farce was "'ought forward on Saturday under the title of A ll a Mistake. The chief Performers were joNEs as a Geologist-, and COOPER as a Colonel, who they been s o long parted from his wife, though a - ,ey are suppose d to b e st ill y oung , that they no not know each other. There was little in the substance of the Drama to excite interest, and improbableimprobable, and produced too feeble an impres s'.— I' encoura ge the hope that it will he repeat ::(l with greater success, though it may fairly ' l ' said to be not worse than many that have been Suffered to pass muster. It was not announced for a future representation, ENGLISH OPERA HO O SE.--.—Tilis convenient and alreea - bleTheatre opened for theseason enSaturday 'night under very favourable auspices, and before a numerous audience. The first piece was the Beggar's Opera, in which the Polly of Miss STEPHENS, in beautiful singing and unaffected act log, was highly interesting. The Lucy of Miss I.C!.:Lt.st has long been justly admired as one ° the very best specimens of theatrical Merit that the modern Stage has exhibited, and it was not less animated and impressive on this 9 ccasion. Both of these favourites of the public received a due tribute of applause On their en trance. Mr. Trio IINE, from Edinburgh, was the Macheath. He is a good singer, and acts with s Pirit• lie will-doubtless appear to more advan tsge when he has entirely overcome the awe of 4 London tribunal. BARTLEY and TAyr,Evac, Peitchum and Lockit, were welt received, and toe Opera altogether went off with spirit The s econd piece was Rosina, and the hero* of this agreeable little Opera, supported by tire music 9 1 our excellent countryman SHIELD, found a v ery Interesting representative in Miss GowAnn, Irons the Norwich Theatre. Miss COWARD is Young, her person is pleasing, and her talents are Very well entitled to public protection. She sung teetly, and acted with interesting simplicity.— . 41 iss KELLY, in Phwbe, brought forward again all t he spirit which animated her Liwy,but with a due ( ii%crimination in the characters, and was highly l ' t ! i tertaining.

The arrivals of English Grain last week were moderate, but i there was another large quantity of Oats from Ireland. This I morning there was a good many samples or Wheat from Essex and Kent, but very little from other parts; of all other sorts or 1 Grain, the supply fresh up is small ; prime samples of Wheats are scarce, and there is no difficulty in obtaining last week's terms for such ; all other kinds, however, are so • very dull in sale that factors are willing to take less prices for the sake of quitting. Barley remains unaltered from the terms- of this day se'nnight. The report of the coming crop of Beans and Pease being unfavourable, both these articles obtain rather more money. Good sweet English Oats find buyers at last quotation, but the accumulated quantity of Irish Oats occasion the market to continue in a state of dul ness and depression for all other sorts of Horse Corn.

[THE TIMES.] THE DECCAN BOOTY.—The heat and violence which were exhibited on Friday last in a certain assembly, by a military gentleman undertaking the defence. of a distinguished and victorious Duke, completely failed of the purpose intended by them, if that purpose was to crush the spirit of observation of his Giace's public conduct. Dr. Lushington, above all men, was 'an ill. Chosen subject against - whom to direct such ,Weapons ; nor, had the attempt succeeded so far as to in- duce that Learned Gentleman to retract his. g rin cipal allegations against the trustees of the Dec.: can prize Money, would the people out of doors have been the more persuaded to give up the right of judging for themselves. - The most important charges against the trustees were of a graver character than mere incivility of ex pression—they were the chargeslst, of hav ing unduly procrastinated the distribution of the prize - money among the captors. To this it has been replied in plain terms, that Sir T. His lop did not hand in the lists for distribution until the sth ult.; whence it is undoubtedly apparent that no previous distribution could have been made ; and that if such be the whole of the case,. the trustees ought to be exonerated. 2d, The second objections to' the course' taken by the ,trustees is, that proper means were not employed by them to search out and ascertain the full value of the prize to be distributed whenever the fit period for distribution should be settled. Upon this point we are bound to admit, that the - arssu ment in justification of the trustees have not yet been laid before the public, and that from some hints which were suggested in the House of Corti mons, we are not disposed to pass - -our judgment on an expartc case. is' possible that the claims - of the troops may in certain particulars have been excessive, and their expectations as to the quantum of prize . more sanguine than could or ought to be • realized. If palaces and public buildings, the treasure deposited by the conquered Princes at a distance from the:scenes of warfare, or beyond the precincts of their own territories, have been estimated by the army among its legi timate spoils, it is probable that such claims would have to undergo a considerable modificatiou and reduction ; but the question is, whether the Trustees have rejected any evidence in favour of the army which equity called upon them to re ceive ? or refused to hear the representations of men familiar with the law of nations, though en gaged only in the character of counsel by the claimants, upon points which ought to be de termined by that law ? or precluded the captors from bringing them acquainted with such facts respecting the nature, the amount, and successive transfers of booty, as might materially assist the trustees both in calculating and recovering it for distribution ? All that we recollect to have seen stated on the above matters is, that the trustees declared themselves ready to receive information, although they would communicate none; that they did not want the advice of lawyers, the At torney and Solicitor General being bound to ad vise them gratis on every dubious point ; and finally, that b y the exertions of the Duke of Wellington,- many claims: had. been. actually sub stantiated for the army, and many adverse pre tensions set aside, which, without his Grace's per severing activity, must have been ruled against the captors. The reason alleged for cutting off ' all intercourse with " the lawyers" employed by the Madras army—viz. that they were too fond of litigation—was treated by Mr. Brougham with becoming ridicule, and, in truth, considering who these lawyers were, cannot lie thought about but as a piece of camp merriment on the part of the gallant trustees ; at the same time, putting out of sight the little jobbing venture of Mr. Arbuthnot, with regard to the young prize agent so much talked of, it would be difficult to sup pose that the Duke of Wellington had any other than friendly sentiments towards the Madras army, the nurse of his earliest and still unfailing laurels, in the acceptance of this troublesome and somewhat invidious trust. We cannot conclude without noticing 'another curious incident in the proceedings on Friday :—lt seems that Sir John Malcolm, who held the rank of Brigadier-Gen., and commanded a division in the army of - the Deccan, is particularly satisfied with the present condition of its affairs, and.tremhliagly anxious lest the agreeable mystery which . surrounds them should be disturbed. In an ordinary case we .might easily account for some eagerness on the part of a military man to vindicate and to eulo gize the Duke of Wellington, who is no less rich in fame than in patronage : but that an officer of an army whose claims to justice have been so long unanswered, should profess his admiration of a system which excludes the recognized, able., and zealouS agents from all communication with trus tees who know -and can know but little of their collective and individual rights, is matter of sur prise. The bugbear which • appears to have scared this gallant person into a momentary for getfulness of the merits of the case, as felt by his suffering comrades, is the vulgar notion, that if do cuments are submitted to the eye of a lawyer a suit must inevitably:follow. We have already stated how groundless and ridiculous is such an apprehen sion. Is not Sir John Malcolm aware that no proceeding can be instituted without the appro bation of the trustees, in whom he places an un bounded confidence—nay, that by the very terms of his Majesty's warrant, the trustees themselves cannot authorise such proceeding without the sanction of the Lords of the Trea sury ? And .who is to profit by improper litiga tion, even if Nis double check would not suffice to prevent it ? The Counsel ? It is, we repeat, impossible to suppress a smile when we find Sir John Malcolm joining the trustees in insinuat ing, that such men as Mr. Brougham, Dr.. Lush ington, Mr. Heald, Dr. Jenner, Mr. Adam, Mr. Harrison, and Mr. Gaselee (now a Judge), who have all deliberately advised the agents that they have a right to . the communication they sought, and that they were bound to persevere in their efforts to obtain it, would be disposed to recommend a law-suit for the chance of briefs, which, after all, would be but slig•ht, since the trustees employ their own solicitor, and retain the Crown lawyers ! Or would the law-agent pocket something by the apprehended suit, which he would riot Conduct, and over which he would have no controul? His interest, we should ima gine, would rather be to procure any distribution of the fund realized, :however inadequate and unjust, by which his costs would paid at once, and his enormous responsibility removed. If it be true, as insinuated, that extravagant charges have been advanced, there was the mere reason why the trustees should i com municate with the agents, in order to modify the demands, and to temper the expectatiOns of the army. Bat they complain of-delay in the preparation of lists, from which their• scheme of distribution is to be drawn, forgetting•that'those lists were delayed in the hope that by previous communication they might be rendered effectual to the purpose 'for which they were- required.— This booty is to be distributed according to the principle of actual capture ; each portion is to belong. to the division. or brigade by, whom it was won, - and the trustees '' call : - for lists of the parties entitled, and refuse to tell those whom they ask for them , the- places where the booty they have recovered from the East India Company Was takenor-.to . Oiie them -the opportunity of - explaining the circumstances of each particular captive ! Does Sir - John Mal colm think Ora( a scheme of distribution can be best prepared by -guess—that the claims of his soldiers can be most effectually asserted in the dark ? or does he rely on the intuitive wisdom of young Mr. Arbuthnot to supply the place of all the information and all the aisistance of those who witnessed and shared in the victories of the army, and have devoted years to their cause? NEW Times.] Some virulent attacks having been made, in the Opposition Prints and elsewhere, on the Duke of - Wellington, in the relation to the Deccan booty, it becomes proper to state the real - circumstances of that. transaction, so far as his Grace is con cerned. The Pindarrees, a horde of freebooters, under the protection of the Mahratta Chiefs, Holkar and Scindia, had made irruptions into our territories. To these they were no doubt incited by Holkar and Scindia, who, as well as other Maltratta Chiefs, had secretly formed a conspiracy to expel the English froM India. A grand military plan was therefore formed,by the Marquis of Hast ings in 1817 for the purpose not only of annihilating the Pindarrees, hut of putting down all hostile confederacy throughout India. This plan consisted of two parts. The Marquis of Hastings, with the Bengal army, advanced to the Sind, which river he reached on the 6th of November, 1817, while army of the Deccan (or South) commanded by Sir T. Ilislop, advanced to the Nerbudda, which river was crossed on the 14th of the same month by Sir J. Malcolm, second in command. Scindia was easily compelled to sign a treaty, renounc ing the Pindarrees, and these freebooters, alarmed and indignant at this conduct, fled to Holkar, who being also unable to pro tect ',them, they either dispersed or threw themselves on the mercy of their conque rors. Thus, the first object of the war was completed without producing any particular re-. suit in the way of booty. But it was not so with the second object. Scindia had at- once subscribed to the terms required of him.— , Similar terms were offered to him but refus e ed, and the battle of Maheidpuor was the consequence, which forced him to make se treaty placing him . in a state of dependence. on the British power. Some inferior Chiefs, however, still continued in arms, while others voluntarily placed themselves under the Bri tish protection. The Peishwa of the Malt rattas, who had been for years carrying on secret negotiations against us, was induced, in the month of .11111e 5 1817, to sign a treaty ',re nouncing communication with the. other native Powers. This treaty he had no sooner signed than lie resolved to violate it. On the sth of November, 1817, he broke out into open hosti- . Mies. The Rajah of Nagpore pursued a si milar conduct, and in .the beginning. of De, cembee of that year it was fouta, necessary to proceed to extremities.,against .hirn. The..ope rations against these' two Sovereigns, as .well as those against Holkar, produced the cap ture of much valuable property, which 'forms the booty in question. Although • this .pro perty was in point of fact taken in the , ,year 1818, or 1819 at the latest, - yetit'coold not sooty be colleCted into ottelniass., or. brought to a .com mon account. False .notions are entertained of what was booty, ' SOMe . . perStips thought that public buildings were ...be valued, and that, debts owing loilg before, by' the• native Princes were to be exacted, Toroth! . benefit of the captors. Time was required to get over.these difficulties ; and then arose a . great rinestien'whether the pro perty which might fairly be deeti-id booty was to be divided among all the British forces in the field, or only among the army of the Deccan. This point was solemnly argued in 180 1 - and was at.length decided in favour of the 'lattertirmy: 'Thus far the Duke of Wellington had nothing to do with the case but when it was decided that . the army of the Deccan should 'all:Me.

Many qiestions still arose. The object of the Trustees was to put an end to them as speedily as possible; and in • point of fact they were drawing. to an end, whea the complaint of delay was brought, fonsißd Parliament. Not a day nor an hour had the Trustees loitered : and we can state it,as aj)osir
