Two of these persons were condemned on four charges to a fine of 1,200 francs.

With feelings of deep regret we have to an mounce the sudden death of Colonel Littlejohn, which occurred on Monday morning last, only a quarter of an hour after he left his residence (St. Michael's Terrace, Stoke), apparently in perfect health. On coming into the town the deceased called at the shop of Mr. G. Hearle, Lookseller, Fore-street, and after exchanging a few wards about the weather, was in the act of raising his hand towards his bead, when he staggered and fell into Mr. Ilearle's arms, never to breathe again. It is presumed that death was occasioned by the rupture of a blood vessel in the brain, He held the rank of Colonel in the East India Company's service, and had nearly attained his 72d Yfar......Devonport Telegraph. LARGE TURKEY.--During the present week a turkey has been sent to a gentleman of Grantham, weighing 17:11b. ; which has been acknowledged to be one of the largest ever exhibited at Grantham.—Boston Herald. One of the most remarkable features in the present extraordinary weather is the effect on the tide in the Avon and the Severn. We are informed that, in consequence of the swoollen state of those rivers, the flow Of tide is not visible on the surface, but is carried on by MfiLat the seamen call an " underground run," giving no perceptible resistance to the current downwards. The ebb. tide, however, added to the current, is at the asto nishing rate of between eight aad nine miles an hour.— _Brittol Journal. There is now in the possession of Mr. J. Wright, of Gosleeby, near Horncastle, a wren's nest, contaioing two new-laid eggs. It appears that a cat had on the night of the Ist inst. succeeded in dragging from the thatch of the house the nest, which contained five eggs, three of which were broken by the fall, and two were preserved by falling on the flowers below ; in all probability four of the eggs were laid in the old year and one on new-year's day. The poor little wren was seen the following day busily engaged in carrying materials to the same place, for the purpose of re:building her house.— Boston Herald. Owing to the late heavy rains, the trade be twen Lincoln, Nottingham, and Yorkshire has been stopped for several days, the water being so high in the Trent that no vessels could pass at Torksey Lock, but if the weather should prove tine, the water will soon be off. —Boston Herald. The heavy rain on Tuesday and Wednesday nights has caused a great flood along the river W m ith% and as usual the High Bridge at Lincoln is too narrow ' to bold the water, which rushes through the arch with the force of a mill-race ; boats therefore cannot pass upward, except by immense force applied to drag them against the flood. It is not generally known that within 200 years past there were two arches of equal size, where there is now only one. It is recorded that this High Bridge consisted of eight arches altogether ; how long it is since the others were disused is not known, but in 1610 there was another arch similar to the one now in existence ; and a slight inspection of the westward side of the bridge will convince most persons that the two piers on that side were the supporters of these arches, in one of which, in fact, the house of Miss Rippon is erected. The interior of the bridge shows evidently great decay to be going on, and the time is not distant when some im provements will be required.—Boston Herald. DESPERATE SUlClDE.—Yesterday a patient died at the London Hospital from the effects of a wound from his own hand. It appears that the deceased was for merly a cornet in the army, on his disciarge front which be was allowed a pension of 901. per annum. On Tues day the 6th instaig, he received 22 1 . 10 s. , and up to the Sunday followlrg had not been sober ; on that day he went into a public-house in Bedford-street and drank a glass of spirits; the unhappy man then walked down the street, and was reen to take a pistol from his pocket, and putting the muzzle into his mouth ischarged it ; he fell and was immediately picke d op, when be exclaimed, " The Lord receive my spirit r He was taken to the London Hospital, where the ball was extracted, and every attention paid him. His name was Emanuel Elkins, he was about 60 years of age, and most respectably connected. ~. ~ S Y V S DAY ONN Ot.K. P KICES OF ,TIWK, TH I: 3an'.. Stcutc .. . . 0 13 12 14 r •er Cent.

The 'axis paper- of Monday arrived this Inornincr, They contain some interesting news from Sp in. The reply of the QUEEN REGENT to the address of General LLANDER is stated, in a letter from Barcelona, of the 13th instant, to have produced a great sensation. The QUEEN declined acceding to the request of LLANDER, and called upon him to renounce the project to which he had lent himself; but the General was little moved by this entreaty, and re fused to admit of the prefects appointed by the Government.

They contain ►►o news of interest. Frankfort Papers to the 16th inst. arrived this morning. They contain an article from Vienna dated the 11th inst., in which it is stated that a courier had arrived there from Paris, with very pacific tidings. According to this statement, the British and French Governments had de clarod themselves to be perfectly satisfied as to the intentions of Russia. There is a good deal of discussion in some of the Clubs, relative to a rumoured conversation between a Member of the Government and a leading Tory, in which the former is said to have acknowledged that Ministers were in a " queer state," and heavily beset with difficulties. The Member of the Government referred to denies, in the most positive manner, that he ever made such an admission, whilst the friends of the Tory insist upon the veracity of their information. Without knowing any thing of the facts connected with this particular me, we may, we think, safely assert, from our general experience of Tory veracity, that the Member of the Government referred to speaks truth in his denial. This necessity of vindication, however, will be a good lesson for the future. The only way in which a Liberal can protect himself against Tory misrepresentation of this kind is cautiously to avoid contact with a Tory. The address of General LLANDER to the QUEEN REGENT Of Spain, which we give in this day's Sun, will be read with considerable interest. After reminding the QUEEN of his services, in a style of self praise which would appear exceedingly arrogant in any other than a Spaniard, the Spanish character being more re markable for modesty of action than of language, he proceeds to acquaint the QUEEN with his own views as to the Government of Spain, and the wishes of the people. As Captain-General of Arragon, and now of Catalonia," says General LLANDER, " I could easily perceive that where the welfare and security of the provinces depend on accidental circumstances, and where it is often b have reedurse to the armed force, such a state of things 'cannot be durable, when public opinion ceases to support it." It is a 'tare thing to meet with the words public opinion in a public document in Spain, and, coming from the Commander of an army and the Captain-General of a province, they have additional importance. It will not be de nied, we hope, after this, even by the Tories of our own country, that public opinion is unknown in Spain. If it were not pronounced so openly in Catalonia, at least, as to convince General LLANDER that it would be madness longer to resist it, he would not have taken so determined a step as that of a Manifesto, which is an open declaration of war against the Mi nistry. Speaking of that body, he says— " Continued and repeated proofs have caused me to perceive that the frank and heroic sentiments of your Ma jesty are repressed by the counsels of some men, who, in studying arbitraay governments in foreign countries, have forgotten their own—forgotten the wants and the wishes of their country—have forgotten all that could secure the well-being of the Administration you have confided to them, and have thus betrayed the generous vieu s of your Majesty." Phis is language worthy of a patriot, and which must, we imagine, convey terror to those who, instead of exerting themselves for the honour and welfare of their country, are vaccil lating between the despotism of the Northern Powers and the juste milieu system, which has brought so much disgrace upon the French nation. Proceeding in his exposi", LLANDER says : " The Ministry of Zea has arrived at ouch a point of unpopularity, that its continuance menaces public tran. quillity, and even the throne of Donna Isabella II." - There is no beating about the bush here to tell uncourtly truths in courtly language. LLAN DER comes to the point at once, and the only possible result must be either his dismissal, which would, probably, be met by open defiance, or the adoption of his views, and the dismissal of the ZEA Ministry. The further remedy proposed by General LLANDER, after the , lismissal of M. ZEA, is assembling the general Cortes of the Kingdom — a proposal which at once shows the confidence of the Liberals in the justice of their cause, the extent of public opinion in its favour, and their own moderation. The Members of the General Cortes would represent much of the wealth and a great portion of the Aristocracy of the kingdom. Nothing need, therefore, be apprehended for the cause of order or the secu rity of property from such an assembly. LLANDER next reminds the QUEEN of the promises of that wretched lump of expediency and inconsistency, her late husband, who swore and unswore almost in the same breath according to his ideas of personal danger, and who fool ishly imagined that he could accommodate matters between GOD and his conscience by em broidering petticoats for the Virgin Mary. " The promises of Kings are sacred, Madam ; thei r accomplishment ought to be infallible." Alas for the sacredness of such promises ! In what part of the world, where the word of Kings has not been held and confined by the laws, has that word been sacred ? The next point, and the only one to which from want of space we can particularly direct attention, is the recommendation to establish legally what even the Zea Ministry are forced to acknowledge to be morally befitting the con dition of the country. " The Ministry, pre-occupied with its terrors for a demagogism which the nation repulses, tells us every day that enlightened men are alone able to conduct public affairs to a good end ; and, indeed, it is naming a great many commissions to realize the amelior.►tions which it proposes in the different public services. But if this con currence of intellects is good and profitable, why not establish legally this concurrence, the necessity of which speaks for itself?" The Spanish Ministers, and their partisans in this country, will find it difficult to answer this question. But we are not ignorant of the prin ciple on which they make concessions to the people. All despots, and all tools of des pots, are obliged to admit occasionally that something is due to the spirit of the age ; but then it must come as a gracious emanation of bounty from the governors to the governed. The people must not demand as a right what the Sovereign or his Ministers may choose to grant as a favour. On this principle Louis XVIII. granted, and CHARLES X. confirmed, the French charter. On this principle WEL LINGTON acted when he was at the head of affairs in England ; and on this principle will every man act who is in the possession of power without possessing the mind of a patriot and a philosopher. In the work which has obtained so much cele brity, under the name of " England and Ame rica," a plan of colonization was described, by which it was hoped all the advantages of an old and of a new country might be enjoyed, with out the disadvantages of either. That plan was defeated, it is said, by Lord GODERICII— swayed by the Tory Under Secretary, Mr. HAY—refusing to grant the Association that proposed to carry it into effect, the necessary charter. Mr. STANLEY'S succession to the Secretaryship for the Colonies has revived the hopes of the gentlemen who have interested themselves in the undertaking, and they hare accordingly embod;ed themselves into a so ciety to carry it into effect. We have now before us a pamphlet, published by RIDGWAY, describing in detail the means by which a colony may be speedily raised to a state of wealth. The spot fixed upon for trying this magnificent expe riment is at Spencer's Gulf, on the south western coast of Australia. As we cannot give a better idea of the principles on which it is proposed to proceed than may be gathered from the chief provisions it is desired to have inserted in the charter, we lay them before our readers : " 1. The colony to he erected into a province under the name of South Australia, extending from the 132 d to the 141st degree of East longitude, and from the south coast including the adjacent islands northwards to the tropic of Capricorn. " 2. The whole of the territory within the above limits to be open to settlement by British subjects. " 3. Provided that within the said limits, no waste or public land shall become private property, save by one means only, viz., by purchase at a fixed minimum price, or as much above that price as the competition of public auction may determine. " 4. Provided also that, subject to the above restriction anti to the necessity of previous surveys, all persons, whe ther residing in the colony or Great Britain, shall be free to acquire pioperty in waste or public land, in fee, and without limit, either as to quantity or situation. " 5. That the management of the surveys and sales of waste or public land be confided to a responsible Board, with the best provisions for constant publicity i❑ their pro ceedings. • "6. The Corporation of Trustees to have authority for enabling individuals whether residing in Britain or in the colony, to subscribe money into a joint stock for the pur pose of buying waste or public land.t " ?. That the whole of the purchase money of waste or public land, after defraying the necessary cost of surveys and sales, be employed in conveying British labourers to the colony. " 8. That the emigrants conveyed to the colony with the purchase money of waste land, be of the two sexes in equal numbers, and that the Corporation be bound to give a preference amongst the applicants for a passage cost free, to young married persons not having children ; so that for any give❑ outlay of their money, the purchasers of land may obtain the greatest amount of labour wherewith to cultivate the land and of population to enhance its value. " 9. That until the colony be settled, and the sales of waste or public land shall have produced an immigration fund adequate to the want of labour in the colony, the Corporation of Trustees have authority to raise money on loan by the issue of bonds or otherwise, bearing colonial interest, for the purpose of conveying selected labourers to the colony; so that the first body of emigrating capitalists going out to buy land, may from the first be supplied with labour. And that until such loan or loans be repaid with interest, the Corporation be held bound to apply all the net proceeds of the sales of land in repayment of such loans. " 10. That for defraying the necessary expenses of the Corporation and Colonial Government, the Trustees have authority to raise money on loan by the issue of bonds or otherwise, and that provided the said expenditure do not exceed £ in the whole, the amount thereof shall be deemed a colonial debt, and secured upon the entire revenue of the colony. j " 11. That, as i❑ the case of our old colonies in Ame rica, of the company for founding Sierra Leone, and of the East India Company, the Corporation of Trustees have authority to frame and administer regulations or laws for the maintenance of order, the protection of persons and property, and other objects of local government. " 12. That the said authority of the Corporation of Trustees shall continue until the colony, having, like all the chartered colonies of Great Britain, a local legislative assembly shall have paid off its debt to the Corporation of Trustees, and shall undertake to defray the whole cost of its future government and protection. " 13. That the Trustees shall be protected against per sonal liability." The pamphlet further contains accounts as correct as it has been possible to get to gether of the soil, climate, and natural pro ductions of the proposed colony. We feel too fearfully the responsibility any man entails upon himself, who advises so serious a step as emigration to a perfectly new country, to take it upon ourselves ; but as public recorders of so interesting and important an event as founding a society on scientific principles, it would be an act of unjustifiable weakness to for bear expressing our opinion upon it. We think then, as we stated in our notices of " Eng land and America," that the plan carries with it almost every element of success which human sagacity can devise. We know, too, from private sources of information, that some of the most intelligent inhabitants of Sydney regard the plan favourably, and that there are even those who are disposed to leave that old colony to plant themselves in the new. Still we would urge upon every capitalist, who may think of embarking in what Lord BACON justly called the " heroic work" of planting a colony, to consider well his moral and physical fitness for it, for undoubtedly there are few things which require a greater combination of mental and bodily energy than successfully carry ing through such a work. At all events no man, thinking of emigration, whether to the cold regions of Canada, or the sunny clime of Australia, must omit carefully to read and study this pamphlet. " Considering that the power over the proportion between the inhabitants of a country and the territory at their disposal, exerts a most important influence on the value of land, capital, and labour, complete responsibility and publicity appear quite necessary. This provision will, it is conceived, be most useful. Without some such provision, either the Corporation of Trustees must, in order to the commodious laying out of the first town, and of roads whereby to connect it with the interior, become a Land Company, and purchase a large block of land with a view to profit; or individuals might, by making purchases, in the situa tion most favourable for a town, not only create a monopoly price of laud near the seat of Government and centre of commerce, but might altogether prevent the observance of method and re gularity in laying the foundation of the future capital. Whereas, if the first body of emigrating capitalists were enabled to combine their funds, and to purchase a large tract of land in the most favourable situation for the first town, it would be for the inte rest of each and all of the owners of that favourable situation to lay out the ground for a town in the most convenient and orna. mental manner, and at first to sell town lots at a very moderate price, with a view to the increase in the value of adjoining lots. It is in this way generally, that towns are formed in new Ame rican settlements ; many combining to do that in the best way, which separated individuals could not do at all. On this account it was one time intended that the South Australian Association should be a Joint-stock Land Company as well as a body politic; but the intention has been abandoned on the ground that the Corporation of Trustees ought not Lobe engaged in any pecuniary speculation, and that companies for the purchase of land in the colony may be formed under the authority given to the Asso ciation. In America the formation of such companies is greatly facilitated by the Government. t It is thus provided that this colony shall be founded and maintained without any expense whatever to the Government of the mother country." Dr. BOWRING has left London for Paris to resume his official duties. THE DUKE OF CUMBERLAND.--HiS Royal Highness is hourly expected at Strathfieldsaye to visit the Duke of Wellington, on his way to the metropolis. The Ph atnix, Government steam vessel, Commander Oliver, has sailed for Calais to take on board his Royal Highness and suite. Lord Charles Wellesley is expected to return to England with the Duke. On Friday evening a certain Commissioner of Customs went into the Travellers' Club, in a state of great excitement, and disturbed the party there by calling out " Light your bonfires, gentlemen, the Ministry, at last, are out." By a curious coincidence, on the same day there was placarded in the Commercial Rooms at Bristol, a letter from a Learned Sergeant, stating, " on the authority of an influential friend of the Ministers, that Lord Grey had resigned." This letter was sent express to se veral leading Tories in the western towns of England. We give these poor devils credit for believing the fabrication which they so industriously propagated : and are rather disposed to quarrel with the Ministers, whose absurd for bearance keeps almost all their offices filled with spies, who think to curry favour with their old employers by the transmission of agreeable rumours, whether true or false. We have often in vain attempted to open the eyes of the Government to the prevalence of Tory feelings amongst their minor functionaries, and toconvince them that in town and country they are in the bands of enemies rather than friends ; that no means are omitted by their subordi nate agents which are calculated to injure their cause ; that the tax-collectors surcharge the Whigs, while they spare the Tories ; that a Whig or Liberal finds im pediments in carrying business through the public departments in town which melt away at the approach of a Tory; that these traitorous functionaries constantly mislead the Government—that, in short, it is absurd to suppose that they have been reconciled to a new reign by the kindness of their superiors. Nothing can mitigate their enmity : the instant they think them selves at liberty to speak, they show how little they deserve the protection which they have experienced. The gleam of a Tory sunshine draws even the laziest of them from their holes to vomit their venom in the public ways. Thus it was on Friday and Saturday last, when these mischievous busybodies weee sending letters and parcels in all directions by every conveyance that Lon don can supply. Why are these persons still allowed to infest the purlieus, nay, innermost recesses, of the public offices? It is with them as with a thorough bad book, which no partial erasure can amend : una Mum potest. So with these worthies, instead of turning out one here and there, let a general so eep be made ; and let their places be filled by men who will conduct themselves with fidelity and honour to their employers.—Times. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) OARDNER V. LACHLAN]) AND OTHERS. Mr. PEPYS, with whom was Mr. KOE, moved, that an order made in this cause by his Honour the Vice Chan cellor on the 12th of last month, might be discharged, which order gave liberty to Mr. Lachland to receive eight hundred pounds and upwards from the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and directed, in substance, that the same should be paid into Court to abide the result of the cause. Mr. Lachland, on behalf of Mr. Scott, contracted with the Commissioners of his Ma jesty's Navy for the sum in question, fur the freight of a ship called the Princess Royal, to convey female emigrants from hence to Hobart Town. The freightage was to be payable upon certificates arriving in this country of the ship's having got safely to its destination with the passengers. The ship arrived at Hobart Town in Sep. ternber, 1532, and in January, 1833, Mr. Scott became a bankrupt. Someti me previously he had given an order upon the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, to the plaintiff, a creditor of his, requesting the Admiralty to pay the 800/. to Mr. Gardner, of which Mr. Gardner gave Mr. Lachland notice. Mr. L., however, was no debtor, and the nifficulty was, whether that 8001. was not at the period of the bankruptcy in the disposition of the bank • rupt, Mr. Lachland having been merely the bankrupt's agent in entering into the charter-party. Th e p ar ti es liable to pay were the Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty, to whom the plaintiff had given no notice of his assignment to Mr. Scott. The bill was filed by Mr. Gardner, which prayed that Mr. Lachland might be dec l ared to be a trustee for the plaintiff, and that the other defendants (the assignees of the bankrupt) might be restrained from receiving the money. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor had held that the notice to Lachland was a sufficient compliance with that part of the law ; that Lachland ought to receive the money, and that pro tem. it ought to be impounded. The Learned Counsel submitted that the disposition of the property remained in the bankrupt at the time the fiat issued, and that the assignees might now be declared entitled to the property for the benefit of the creditors generally. Mr. KNIGHT and Mr. JACOB were in support of the order of the Court below, and a more proper older they thought had never been pronounced. Had the plaintiff in the cause said there was no question to be disposed of upon a hearing . of the cause, he might have had some ground for so alleging, but the gentleman on the other side surely could have none. Every thing had been done for the safety of the assignees. The LORD CHANcELLon.-interrupted the Counsel for the respondents by stating that he perfectly understood the facts, and that if therOvaS any difference of opinion between him and his H9iatink; it was that his Honour's order ought to have gone 10rther, so as to have declared the debt to be due to 11144.achland. However, at present he would only refuse the iition. Mr. KNIGHT pressed for the costs. The LORD CHANCEL4OR considered that assignees were bound to do every thing:they could for the protection of a bankrupt's estate, and to facilitate the administration of it, and on that ground only he refused the costs, but directed that the respondent's costs should be costs in the cause. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. TROLLOPE. Mr. BICKERSTETII stated that this was an information filed at the instance of certain inhabitants of the parish of St. Margaret's, Westminster, against the Dean and Chap• ter and other parochial authorities, for the purpose of having certain charities re-established, and the trusts by which certain leases held under them were affected, carried into execution under the decree of the Court. It appeared that in 1586, 1587, and i 621, three persons, named B irnhatn, Lambert, and Collard, made their wills, by which they bequeathed the leases in question, held of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, situate in Tothill-fields, and in the sanctuary as well as in Dean-street, for the benefit of the poor of the parish of St. Margaret's, with directions that they should be renewed in the names of the church. wardens upon the same continuing trusts. The leases from time to time were renewed by the Dean and Chapter to feoffees appointed by the parish, and who were regu larly filled up as they happened to die off. The last re newal took place in 1768, for a term of thirty-seven years. They expired in 1805,the Dean and Chapter having expressed a determination not to renew the leases, on occa sion of the different applications which were made to them. Negotiations were entered into for the purpose of disposing to thelDean and Chapter the parochial reversionary interest in them for the sum of 1,2001. which were ultimately carried into effect. In the course of the investigations which took place, the Dean and Chapter of course were to be presumed to have become cognizant of the trusts by which the different leases were originally affected ; and the main question is whether, in the cir cumst lines of the case, they could hold the property de manded of those charitable trusts. One of the leases comprised the property on which the parish work house is situated, and it was proposed to raise a certain fine of 1,3001., in order to effectuate another• arrangement with the Dean and Chapter, that that sum should be raised by subscription among the vestry, of 50/. each, the repayment of which was to be secured by the annual rents of a renewed lease. In place, however, of doing so, it appeared the vestrymen had actually appro priated to themselves the 1,2001. which they had received from the Dean and Chapter, in consideration of their sur render of the parochial leases, instead of waiting for the produce of the rents of the workhouse property. The information contains a variety of otber charges, and the case seems likely to last during the whole morning, as well as the greater part of to-morrow. Mr. BICKERSTETH had not finished his opening when our Reporter hit. VICE CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The part-heard case of Dawley v. Bennett, in which the bill was filed for the purpose of setting aside an agree ment for the lease of a house in Stainford_street, occupied the Court the whole morning, and was not concluded when our reporter left. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) The Court were occupied all the morning in hearing arguments upon cases in the crown paper, hut up to the time of our reporter leaving, nothing of public interest occurred. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prins before Mr. Justice GASELEE and a Middlesex Jury.) FORRESTER V. LAPORTE. This was an action brought by Mr. Forrester, late of the Theatre Royal Covent-garden, against Mr. Laporte, the late lessee, to recover the balance of an arrear of salary, and compensation in damages for a breach of the terms of an engagement. Mr. Sergeant TALFoultn, with whom was Mr. THESSI GER, stated the case on behalf of the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant HEATH appeared for the defendant. Mr. Bartley, examined by Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, deposed, that he was stage manager at Covent-garden theatre during the last three years of Mr. C. Kemble's management, and that Mr. C. Kemble was succeeded in 1832 by Mr. Laporte, under whom the witness continued stage manager. The note produced was in the hand writing of Mr. Laporte. The note was: addressed by the defendant to the plaintiff, and was an invitation to join the Covent-garden theatre. An interview was had pursuant to this invitation, and it was ultimately l. that fur eths se thefpul further h t n i e l t ri i f f r third played year. plaoysee dd in thatAt h e letter play hl ae y t oanthd seasoni this e ffe ct, arsceccoe agreed between witness, as the agent of Mr. Laporte, and the plaintiff, that the latter should he engaged for three years, at a weekly salary of 6/. for the first, 8/. for the second ' t l l O , atth engagement gt.e,mleBn3t2, commencedwas o admittednthaend letne succeeding the datedn g andTanhde witness put of October, in as ey evidence. first night, and continued during the season as any other person. Witness is now stage-manager to Mr. Bunn, but the defendant is not engaged, and though witness had been thirty-three years connected with the theatres, he never till the present instance knew a case of a party suc ceeding another in the management ever questioning an engagement of an actor previously engaged. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant HEATH-31r. Bunn has succeeded Mr. Laporte in the management. Mr. Laporte lost 7,000/. during his management. Mr. William Abbott, examined by Mr. THESSIGER— Deposed, that for many (twenty) years he bad been a member of the Covent-garden Comp an y , but that his engagement expired last year. The season of 1832 com menced on the Ist of October, and the house was opened nightly till the 19th of November , about which time Mr. Laporte called a meeting of the company, and stated that in consequence of the ruinous state of the season it was impossible to go on, and he therefore proposed that the company should play only three nights a week until Christmas, but that the performers should not lose by it, as he would make np the number of nights at the termination of the usual season. This arrangement was ultimately agreed to by the performers, who were conse quently only paid half salaries till the pantomime came our, and the theatre was then opened every night till the 18th April, 1833, when it was closed in consequence of the prevalence of the influenza. Another meeting of the performers was called by Mr. Laporte, and a proposition made by him that instead of 54 nights they should only be paid for 34 nights. A committee of performers was appointed to consider the proposition. Witness was one of the committee, who on deliberation declined the offer. After this witness suggested to Mr. Laporte that as the company were reduced to a most destitute condition, they should go on their own resources to the Olympic Theatre. Mr. Laporte made no objection, but seemed much asto nished at the proposition, but subsequently he granted _ - the performers the assistance of books, music, properties, and dresses. It occurred to the company that their acting at the Olympic would invalidate their engagements with Mr. Laporte, and, at an interview, Mr. Meadows asked him if, in the event of their going to the Olympic The" tre, it would invalidate the engagements of those perforro• ers who were under articles. Mr. Laporte replied, “Cer tainly rot, so f,r as I ani concerned." On a subsequent occasion, Mr. Laporte suggested some alteration in the bilk, announcing the first night of the performance at the Olympic Theatre, which was kept open in this arrangement until the 9th of June, the performers sharing the receipts according to the salaries of each per former. Mr. Forrester acted during the whole time, and is now engaged at the Victoria Theatre. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant HEATH—The plaintiff was paid like the rest of the performers, up to the close of the theatre, by Mr. Laporte. The plaintiff is now paid by the witness a salary of Si. Ios. per week. Mr. Meadows examined by Mr. Sergeant TALrouun--- Witness has been engaged thirteen years at Covent-garden. Theatre, and the season generally averages two hundred nights. Mr. Andrew Sutherland proved that the plaintiff pre. sented himself at the opening of the present season, at Covent-garden, as one of the company, but witness re fused him admission, by the orders of the present lessee, Mr. Bunn. It was admitted by Mr. Sergeant HEATH, on the part of the defendant, that the plaintiff received 361. as his share of the profits realised b 1 the performers at the Olympic Theatre. . _ • Mr. Sergeant HEATH, for the defendant, addressed the Jury, and admitted that the plaintiff was entitled to a ver dict, but expressed his regret that the amount had n ot been settled out of Court. His clients had been anxious to have referred the subject, and not thus to have been dragged before the public. Mr. Justice GASELEE summed up the case to the Jury, The Jnry, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1801. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

" LUMBER.—Upon a review of the trade of this port, dur ing the season of navigation just closed, this article appears to constitute the most important product of our exports. The lumber in hand this winter, throughout the United Colonies, it is supposed, in general, will prove less than at any corre sponding period of the last five years. " The arrivals this year are 1,007 vessels. " NEW SlllPS.—Fourteen square rigged vessels, averaging 400 tons, are in progress of building, to be completed by the opening of the ensuing navigation. The largest of them are two of 6.50 tons, probably for the China trade. " A snow storm, which commenced on the 24th December. still continues—about nine inches of snow has fallen."
