DISPU7I.g: ,In ptirsuante of the notice given, a number of Noblemen anti Gentlemen, proprietors and sub scribers to the King's Theatre, visited the Thatch ed House Tavern yesterday, between the hours of one aeel two o'clock, in expedation of hav ing the Report of the Committee, laid before them. The Committee, however, after having most arduously and unremittingly attended to the investigation with which they were intrust ed, weie unable to come forth with their final report till half-past three o'clock; at which time the greater number of the parties interested, de spairing of a report being made on the day ap= 'pointed, had retired from the place of meet ing. In consequence of this, when the Com mittee came to the room for holding the General Meeting, it was judged expedient to postpone re ceiving the Rep o rt till a f uture day, when a more numerous attendance Might be expected. Earl' Gower being called to the Choir, it w - ai resolved, " That the Report of the ComMittee should be taken into considerati on on F r id a y ne xt, a t two o'clock precisely; rind :hat circular letters to the Subscri hers, Club Rooms, &c. should be sent, announcing the'saind."—Previous to the breaking up of the Meeting, a letter was presented from Mr. Taylor, which was opened by the Noble Chairman, and be ing of immense length, the reacting ,vas also deferred till Friday, and the Meeting adjourned.

ROYAL ACADEMY.---Mr. TURNER gave his first Ledure, since he has been 4pninted Professor of Perspective' to th's Institution, last night, in the Great Room, before the President, many of the Members, and aconsiderable number of auditors, naturally attracted by the -high' reputation or the Prolesser. The Lecture itself was rather intro oeetory than technical, and principally tended to strew ilia , the hither order of Historical Painters, as welt 'as Architects and Sculptors, availed them salves of the prieei; les of Perspective iti their most distinguished produo tons. He illustrated this posi tion with success, by a reference to the, print of RAPHAEL'S celebrated Transfiguration, turd eei.. metrical thaw am 'on 'he s mote subjed. In course of the Lecture Mr. TuriNen paid some high com pliments_ to the merits of Sir Josnua REYNoLD7e, and ack ,, owledged with gratitude, that he had been in a great degree indebted to the, 'loyal Academy for his professional reputation. The Lecture was written throughout in a nervous and elegant style, and was delivered with unatf!eted modesty.

EXCHEQUER. • At the Sittings atter last Michaelmas Term, a cause was tried before the Lord Chief Baron, and a Special Jury, which it is of importance should re ceive the greatest publicity. It was an information tiled by the Attorney-Ge neral against a corner, for having bought and taken from a tanner's yard tuo hides, which were not marked by the officer, to denote a charge of the Excise Duty, as required by Law, The SOLICITOK-GRNERAL stated, that it was the object of this cause to make the buyers of hides sen sible of the obligation which the law. had imposed upon them, of being a check upon tanners fraudu lently disposing of hides without payment of . the duty. The statute, he observed, did not put it. upon the Ai tOrney-General to prove, that the person- who brought and removed such hides knew that the duty had not been chaged"; but made the buyer respon sible for such duty being, charged, by inflieting a penalty upon him for taking the hides trom his yard, if they should be found not to have been - so, whe ther with or without his know ledge. The Loan CHIEF BARON, in a very clear sum ming up of the evidence, fully confirmed ibis con struction ot the law, and the Jury immediately gave a verdi& for the Crown, recommending, however, the defendant to mercy, The neighbourhood of Lceds was visited on Christotas night by a severe storm of hail, loud peals of thunder, and vivid flashes of lightning. Tie house of Mrs. Waddington, of Wither, near Kirk stall, suffered much from the fury of the storm and two of her daughters were so atfeeted by tires lightning; that they have...beun. under medical care. One of them, who was in the kitchen, being struck by the,eleetric fluid, appeared for some time lifeless ; the other who was up stairs, was stricken less 'se verely, but, either. from alartii or its effeels, fell down stairs and was much hurt. Mrs. "Waddington, ' Ifer son, and a young lady,. had a narrow escape. They were sitting in the parlour, where the elec..' grit: fluid Passtd with such force, that , it struck out the candle and the fire.from the grate, without,. however, injuring arty of. them. About four o'clock in the afternoon of Christmas day,4olm:Dalton, one of the men charged 'with robbing. the Turnpike-hou-es near Wolverhampton, got out of his - day-room, through the inner board ing, upon the roof of the gaol : he had prepared a rope made - from his blankets, and frini an old coat of a felloprisoner,, with which he intended to have let himself down into .the yard, ,and after wards get over the boundary wall, but tie rope would not bear his 'weight, and be fell from Abe roof to the grOund, and broke his right leg and thigh, and' was otherwise much bruised.

The unanimous acclamations of this illustrious assembly, (without one dissenting voice,) decreed the Deers« sity of appointing a Provisional Junta, that may go. vern this kingdom in the name of Ferdinand VII. and, at the n ne instant, it was nominated, sworn in, and hailed with rapturous approbation by the people.

BRIGHTON..... A CONSUMMATE SWISDLER.—A persen of the name of Leigh (real or assumed we know not) who soma little time since occupied genteel lodgings on the, West Cliff, has, we are sorry to say, within these few days, successfully practised the art of swindling in this town. Ho had repeatedly obtained cash, at the banks here, tor small bills, payable on demand, at Messrs. Spooner and Co.'s House, •in London. These bills, invari ably, had heed duly paid.. Presuming on the credit he had established, he, on Saturday last, tendered a bill,. also payable on demand, and at the s.iMe house in town, for 1501. at the New Bank. The money, unluckily, was given; the bill was present.' ed and returned, and no Mr. Leigh was to be loon& It also appears that he had tendered siinildr bills of equally large amount, at the Old and Union Banks, but not with equal SUCCeis, as they declined cashing them until the acceptance of Spooner and Co. was . proved. Two hundred and ten tubs of brandy were picked up at sea, on Thursday, by the cusioin-hotise officers of this town, and lodged in the ctistein-house at Shoreham. • -- itiesa - me vigilant ofgcerialso picked up on Tues day, oft Beneby-bead, 17 bales of cotton, each eighing, from .500 to 700 dcwt. supposed to be part of the cargo of the unfortunate East IRcha Company's country ship Elizabeth, lately kit otf Dunk's*.
