On their return to the rvlansion-House, the LORD MAYOR entertained a very splendid co:n ',any Egyptian II:11. The dinner was truly both as to the luxury of its provision, and the, eliTance of its decoration. The middle table was in an horse-shoe form, at the upper end of which sat :LC LORD MAYOR and LADY MAYOR. E ss, supported by their Noble and Right Honour. able Visitors. It was beautifully ornamented with sixteen temples, enriched with naval and military trophies. On each side was a long table decorated with emblematical figures, and arches of artificial flowers. The Egyptian Hail was illuminated with great taste and splendour. At the east end, the G. R. with the crown above, and the words, " He iiveth, rejoice !" beneath, composed of variegated lamps, firmed a most brilliant and attra&ive deco ration. In short, this stupendous apartment exhi bited a genuine scene of magnificent hospitality. The company did not sit down to table till near six o'clock. When dinner was over, the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were given, in addition to which was that of " the Volunteers," which was drank with three times three. The Persons of Distinftion present were, Mr. ADD INGToN, Lord HAWK ESBURY, the SECR TARY at WAR, Lords PORTSMOUTH, BARRYMOR E, and PETERSHAM, the MASTER of the ROLLS, and the Right Hon. THOMAS WALLACE. Soon after nine o'clock, the company withdrew to the Ball room. The Ball was opened by Count TR E NTH AM and Miss PERRI NG. EPPING HUNT. A fine Deer was started yesterday from the Bald. faced Stag, a ptildic-house on the borders of the Forest. The number of horsemen was very great. The hounds were excellent, and followed the stag very close through all his different turnings or alte rations in his course. He started at about twelve o'clock, when he took down the forest a little way, then turned to the left, towards Walthamstow ; after that he coursed several times round a great part of the forest, making diffeNor attempts to take to the water, bur was prevented by the dogs following him up so close. Az length, at near four o'clock, he suc ceeded and got into a pond at the farther end of the forest, where he kept the dogs some time at bay, but was taken alive by a person entangling a whip in his horns, and dragging him to the land. lo a hunt of four hours duration, with the ground very soft from the late rains, it might he expeded that many a Cockney sportsman was unhorsed.

The 7th Irish Dragoon Guardy'commanded by Colonel MAUCH AN, arrived at Newcastle last week from Bury St. Edmund's, and are quartered in that town and neighbourhood. The Volunteers at Southampton have taken the principal duty of the town. The xst Division of the 18th Light Dragoons embarked on Wednesday on board three of the ves sels that brought the 4 .th Dragoons Guards from Dublin to Liverpool, and sailed with a fair wind. Another divi , ion of that Regiment embarked the next day for Ireland. It is greatly to be regretted that the Royal Afri. Can Corps, consisting of about zso men, should have been detained, as they were, nearly four months at Falmouth, for want of a- vessel to carry them out. Had they sailed dired from Plymouth, they would probably have arrived in time to have preserved the Island of Garee, On the 26th and 27th of March, there was so considerable a fall of snnw on the western part of Yorkshire, as to snake the roads impassible fur some time.

It t ray be considered as a very diverting Farce of three Ads, and is by no weans devoid of interest. It was preceded by a Piece called The Horse and the 1V d„iv and was followed by a new grand Bailer, partly pantOrnithe, and partly de_• livered in dialogue, named Valentino and Orsc;'7.— The following is an account of the liab;e. THE FABLE. In the eighth century of the Christian am, Pepin, King of France, and father of Charlemagne, is supposed to have given his sister, Belisanta, in marriage to Alexander, Empe ror of Constantinople, who reigned over the few Eastern Provinces lett of what thrilled y belonged to the Roman Em pire. Beliaanta,. who was beautiful and virtuous, had-not long been married ere her happiness was interrupted by the presumption of a High Priest, her husband's bosom friend and confidential favourite, whose ungrateful attempt to violate his master's honour, in the person of the Empress, being frustrated by her spirited and exemplary conduct, he deter mined to ruin the tharader, and destroy the domestic felicity - of the woman whose virtue he could not subdue, With this intention, he publicly accused the Empress of improper in timacy with a young nobleman of the court, whom he pre tended to have slain in the first transports of zeal for the honour of his master, and by his influence procured so many • witnesses who apparently corroborated his own false testi mony, that the Empress was condemned unheard, her preg nancy considered as an aggravating proof of her crime, and she could only obtain, as a great favour from the Emperor, the sentence of banishment, in mitigation of the doom of death, which his first fury had passed upon her. Iq journeying to her brother's court, attended only by a faithful page, the unfortunate Empress was benighted in a wood near Orleans, and while her attendant was absent in search of food and shelter, her agony of mind hastened the births of Valentine and Orson ; the latter of whom was carried away by a mon strous bear ; the frantic mother; impelled by maternal terror, madly attempted to pursue the savage, but, fell insensible, and was hidden by the surrounding thicket, hile her brother, the King of France, accidentally passing that way while hunt ing, found the infant Valentine, ordered his attendants to take care of him, and brought hint up as an adopted son. The faithful servant of the Queen, ignorant of what had hap pened, returned at length, with a peasant's tvite ; they found the unfortunate Belisanta still insensible ; and conveyed her to a cottage, front whence she afterwards repaired to a neigh bouring convent, and tosk the monastical vow, without ap prising the King of her situation, he having proclaimed his abhorrence of her imaginary crime, declared his resolution to consider her as dead, and ordered mass to be yearly performed for her soul's health, as if she had actually been so. In the mean time, Valentine became so great a favourite at court that he excited the jealousy of all the King's relations, who contrived to have him sent on every dangerous expedition, from each of which he returned with increased honour anti success ; and when arrived at the age of twenty, undertook to attack a formidable wild man, who infested the forest of Orleans, and proved to be his own brother, who instead of being devoured by the hear was nursed anti reared by her, till he in time was able to become the protector of his savage f.ister. mother. Ity art and valour combined, Valentine over came the wild Man, and task hint front the forest alive ; the latter he, perhaps, would never have accomplished, but for the death of the bear, who expired with old age, and Orson, as if by instinct, transferred his regard from her to his un known brother. The adventures of Orson at court were Wile, as might be expetted from his untaught habits; he remained, however, firmly attached to Valentine, and followed him when he was sent to conquer Agramant, 3 Pagan Knight and Sorcerer, who held as his captive, the daughter of tie Mike of Aquitaine, and possessed a shield whicha until remtived by a Prince who had never been nursed by worriani Wat desa tined to preserve him from the arms of every oppontrita Beare Valentine's departtl re, the King; in gratitude for thrmee services, had promised Min the hand of his daughter Eglan tine, in marriage, and the Princess tearing the charms of Floriinonda, in whose .arise Valentine was about to tight, might weaken his adection tot herself, .nreceued him in dis guise to the Green Knignt's camp ; where she was fortunately preserved front death by the arrival or Valentine, who after ineffectually opposing the pagan warrior, p.rinitted Orson to attempt the combat : the talisman of the magic shield yield ed to the wild knight, he neing a Prince, though not nursed by woman. The _pagan was conquered by Orson, whose rank was thustliscoeera and the genius Pacolet arriving on a winged horse, dirreted Valentine to consult a golden oracle, kept by the giant Ferragus, front which he learned the parti. culars of his own origin, as well as that of Orson, who at the same tittle was e ndowed with reason. A little before this pe riod the Emperor of Constantinople was undeceived. wish regard to the supposed guilt of his Empress, by one whoa, according to the custom of those times, challenged and van quished in single combat, the traitor who had abused his sove reign's ear, and confessed his crime with his dying breath. "Pile Emperor had also learned his Queen's existence and concealment, and arriving at the Court of King i'epin at the moment w hen Valentine and O rson were consulting the golden head ; he was reconciled to his injured Partner, and acknoss - hedged his Children : Valentine was presented with the hand of his Cousin Eglantine, and Orson married to - the Princess Florimonda of Acquitaine. whose safety and Iloilo& he had preserved front the tyrannic violence of the Green Knight. [The Charaders of this Piece the Play-bill in our first Page announces]. 'This Ballet is certainly one of the most splendid things of the kind which has been seen in the pre. sent age of theatrical Magnificence. The Story is well expanded and diversified wi:h sufficient in. terest. The scenery is rich and beautiful, and the whole is likely to become a very attradive Piece to the Public in general: The merit of construding this grand 4peaade is to be attributed to FARLEY, who perfortned the part of Falcntine with great activity and eff'ec't. Dußois entered into the savage character of Orson with great spirit, and displayed a suitable degree of strength, and agility. His figure, however, is by no mans powerful enough in appearance to impress the mind with the terrific ideas which he is supposed to excite. Some shaggy covering, we conceive, might be contrived to render him more formidable in aspect. The Prosesions, the Palaces, the Forest, the Castles and all the various scenery constitute, as we have said, a very striking and magnificent exhibi. tion. There is too much fighting, particularly as the PUblic have far many years been accustomed to contests of this kind in every similar speetacle. We do not however objea to that contest in which Mrs. Sr. LEGER is engaged when she has assumed the armour of lialen4ine. She acquitted - herself ad mirably, and fought like a Queen of the Amazsns. It would have been much better, in our opinion, if the whole had been in dumb-show,. except as to singing, to.r it seems ridiculous to hear the charac ters uttering dialogue one mitmte, and the next ex pressing themselves only in gesture. But as the Public taste in general is composed of various inclh. nations, the piece altogether will probabffy gratify more by this very incongruity. The Managers. have not been merely liberal in the style in which the Piece has beno brought lei wand ; they have been*ite prodigal in attempting to indulge the Public with a speaacic of uncom mon splendour. The Music was composed by Mr. Jouve. It is highly- animated, and very well adapted to all the. changes in the passions and incidents throughout the representation. The scenery is very creditable' to the talents of Messrs. RICHARDS, PHILLIPS, WHITM(JRE, HOL LOOAN, and their assistants. Considering the va riety and complication of this piece, it was perform ed last night with surprizing accuracy. The House was crowded, and the Ballet was' re. ceived with very great applause.

BALLMAN, A This_case was of great public lir:pittance, and particularly interesting- to the mercantile wcrid. The fads wer'e shortly as follows The Petition prayed, that the proofs of ilaree debts made by the Tinstees under the . W SI! hf Ball.: ' Mari, might he expunged. The Testator, by his Will, devised the whole of Isis property, real and personal, to his Wife for her life, or until she should marry again, for the i:upport of 115! - se:1, sod the liaihtenatice and education of his children... hi :l . nd uhon hler decease, the whole to be .divided 'arriorig his children. And he directed, that ;is trade of a Mil. ler should be carried on after his death by Ids Wife, in case she survived hiin, for the. berselihtif 'herself and children, until the eldest son slicolsi attain a proper age for undertaking the m magethent of the business. And fur enabling his said Wile so to do, he diretled his Trustees to permit her to retain the stock in trade, upon her gieing notes of hand, bear. ' ing interest at 4 per cent. for the amount of a fair valuation of the stock. The Trustees were also direded, to advance out of the personal estate of the Testator, the sum of 6001. as a capital, the better to enable his Wife to carry on the business, for which she was also to give the Trus . tees a note of hand, as was the eldest son, upon his assuming the management of the concern. These direclions in the Will were complied with; and Mrs. Ballman carried on the trade until she be- , came bankrupt ; when the Trustees under .Me. Ball_ i man's Will applied to prove under the commission, the amount of the notes for the stock, and the 6031. advanced, as debts due to the Testator's estate. They also claimed to be entitled to prove. the shin of Tool. part of the Testator's general assets, WhiCh had been retained by Mrs. Ballman, and, employed in the trade ; and filed a Bill in Chancery against . the Assignees, praying that the Bankrupt might bar . declared a Trustee as to the lease of The film Livia" which the Mill was erected.

If this opinion be right' it decides the whole question. To this case, the' trade was carried on for the benefit of the general' assets ; and money advanced for that purpose clearly' 1 cannot constitute a debt ; and, according to Lira" Kenyon's decision, all the property is liable to' pay the general debts. Mr. RICIIARDs and Mr. TOLER, on the other side. The circumstance of the Widow being di re6ted by this Will to give security for the ponerty in her hands, distinguishes this case from any which have preceded it : all the creditors knew the men_ ner in which time W;dow carried on the trade for '' the benefit of her children. Hor charaaer is two.' kid. Shc is clearly indebted to the estate for the I. sum advanced, and for what she retained as execu.'• i trix. Atv executor has been often dirzeted to prove . upon his own estate, where he is indebted to hid' testator; an d it cann o t be denied, that here the' estate of the bankrupt . is generally indebted in the t amount of the advance. LORD CHNicruLoit.—" Does the case of Han_ key and Hammond go so far as to say, that where' a testator directs a particular part,' or a certain amount of his property to be invested in tride, all bit assets are liable?" Mr. RICHARD4.—if In that Case the dire6lioei e in the Will were general'; not any particular sum, brit the whole residue, was directed' to beimplciVed in carrying on the trade ; and that distinguishes it from the present case. It was contended in that case, that property adventured in thelrade must be' liable to the debt's of that trade, that 'property hav ing the benefit of being ir,creased by the eventual pr,fits ; but in this case, the profits do not go 'to increase the general assets. Here"ihre is - no p r at': ticipation of profit and loss : the profits go to the maintenance of the wife and children." LORD CHANCELLOR.--" This is a most import.. ant and difficult question, and mak he considered as ifitherto'undecided. I do not think that the deci_ sion which has been attempted td be made between . this CaZ:e and that of Hankey (v. Towgood, where all the'personal property was directed to be embarked in the trade, makes any 3tfference. The testator could not • place lirtaits to his own liability in his life time, and the real quest . iori is, whether his estate is not liable, to the same 'extenr, as if he vas living ? I am rather inclined to think, that the N'Vhole assets are liable to the general creditors of this trade ; but I should be sorry to decide a case of such great and general importance, without sub. j-;Zing My opinion to some' deliberate review. ,link there can he no doubt as to the mlney ad. %raked - Under the special authority of this Will. The assets of the Testator must he answerable to the
