(1)111'Illi THE %TRE.

At this theatre. last night. an Easter treat was also pre-
set:tetl to the lielithay acdi um, and here the appear.

&nee of the pit and gallery toured a ttarostg eantrast to the
boxes. The two former were thrtifiged to excess, while the
latter were completely deserted. The Weird Ironton of
the Isle; or, Srollaas Ancient pugs, was the first piece
performer', in which was exhibited some good scenery, but
it was, iike its successor, made up, " for the most part, of
inexplicable noise and dumb show." Ti^ acting of Mrs.
Stanley, who performed a character imitative of Meg 3fer-
rilies, was, however, very superior, and worthy the ap-
plause of more discerning audi!ors. After the melo-drama
followed a farce called Nothing- Like Lurk, though we
could scarcely discover why it was so denominated. The
hero of it is a garret-dwelling poet, whose uncle pays him
a visit; and the plot of the piece consists in the entice-
Yount of the nephew to receive the uncle properly ; which is
done by cheating him of his venison, and sending his goals
and chattels to another uncle—the pawnbroker. The third
performance was The North Ale, so termed, we presume,
because the North Pole is so much the subject of conversa-
tion at present. The piece opens with the vision of a Capt.
Stedfast, who is about to visit the Polar regions, and who
receives the pmmises not only of Neptune and Ilritannia,
but of Fire, Air, Earth. Water, Summer, Winter, Spring,
' Autumn, and moreover of the East Wind, the ‘Vest Wind,
the South Wind, and the North Wind, who each deliver a
neat and appropriate speech on the occasion. This Cap-
tain, by-the-by, we neither see nor hear any thing of
afterwards ; but we are introduced to another Captain,
who, we are to imagine, has been wrecked on au island in
the North Sea. His crew mutinies, deprive him of his
savings of bread, and leave him and his chill to perish,
while their ringleader takes oft' his wife, "because she is
beautiful?' This is, in every sense of the word, a libel on
the character of British seamen, and we were astonished
that the audience could tamely sit and witness it. In the
end, the Captain resolves on destroying himself, his wife,
who haul been saved when the mutineers were drowned, in
their attempt to escape, and his son: but at the moment
he is about to precipitate himself and t}ten into the sea, a
boat puts off from a distant vessel tettear bons from the
shore. By attune very awkward management of the
machinery, they had no 'warner got in than they were
obliged to get out, for the boat would not stir with so
heavy a cargo, and they very deliberately walked through
the ocean to the island back again. Two men in red coats
then come forward, to make preparations for the entrance
of "u ship of immense size, fully rigged and warmed'
(so said the play-bill) ; and this exhibition closed the
amusement of the eveniug, and dismissed a must in-
dulgent and good-humoured audience from an Easter
Monday's entertainment attheßorl Coburg Theatre.

A I/ELPHI THEATRE.

Mr. Henry's audience last night was not inconveniently
nutiscrous, nor peculiarly channel,. It is, perhaps, with-
' out the comeioumness of our readers, that this ingenious
gentleman has for some time been sedulously employed
"on mighty magic," and gaseous iocantations. In the
exhibition of last night there was not even an attempt at
novelty. A very dull apology for a very indefensible en-
' tertainment was delivered by Mr. Henry, without hesita-
tion, anal tolerated by the audience for its scarcely attainable
' stupidity. " The force of nonsense could no further go."
So thought the thin assembly ; but as Doctor Johnson
says,‘Vliat are the thoughts of men or of women either?
Mr. Henry's explanation of the properties of gam
threw the preliminary notice into utter obscurity. In-
' deed, "ignorance seemed a planet" over the professor. From
the pit, however, there sprung forward several manly in-
halers of gas ; and to do the supplier justice, this part of
Nlr. Henry's entertainment was well received. The effect
• upon a Werter-faced looking man, who was the third
to practice in the gas department, was most amusing : he
was suddenly cor.vernto an activity of frame that
r strongly indicated perpetual motion, and the lad pirouetted
I over the stage with a saliency which Charles Vestris might
justly envy. Such are the achievementa of gas, chiefly
I when administered by Mr. Henry. The tricks were clever.
' A satirical wag in the boxes was solicited by this gentle-
man to inscribe a few lines upon a piece of paper, and the
rogue wrote at ten o'clock at night, " Be wise to-day."
This incident mainly contributed to the merriment of the
gallery. A gentleman, with a pen behind his ears, ex-j
claimed, 'This is dies won, and the wit was cheered for
his recollections of Master Monday. Thus, perhaps, ought
the critic to feel. On such a night his praise should be
Aespansed ; sod if he cannot speak favourably of the
gtnuaements of the Satmrislia, he should preserve a discreet
mad a Amorous silence. -We tannot panegyrise Mr.
henry ; and it would be incompatible with the sentiments
just expressed, to enter more fully upon his perform-
' antes.

MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, Moamar. Arno 19.
Our supplies of Wheat continue but moderate, but having a very
heavy trade to-day, prices of last Monday were barely supported
this dullness we consider must be attributed to the proposition for
allowing Foreign Wheat to be ground into Flour for exportatien.
and likewise to the very high average price of Wheat (745. 2tl. pa.
qr.) in the London IFletum of last week. Barley was neeedot
dull sale, though the supply was short, and a small decline ia
prices must be noted. There was a good arrival of Oats this moo-
ing, but having but few buyers, males were heavy at last week's
prices. We had no variation in prices of Ream and Pease, bat
there was not so much inquiry for the former articles. last Monday.
The Clover seed season being nearly over, this article was exceed-
ingly dull sale at declining prices.

We are not so full to-day VI on Moaday last, either of Beef or

weather also operating materially, we find the supply at Market
quite adequate to the demand ; and while we quote Beef at the

the primest Norfolk Scots fetch 4a. The general price of good
polled Mutton is named at 4s. being a redo rtion ; there may be a
few fine Downs at 4d. more, but we cannot bring such a price into
our figures. The very beat Capes, both as to weight and quality,
and none others, find purchasers at Sa. 4d. Pork remains the amine.

COURT OF COMMON FLEAS, FaIDAT, Juxl 11.

DOE V. WILFORO.
Mr. Sergeant Owswow stated, that this was an action respecting
a will of the late Oencral Wilford. The General made a will de-
vising his estates, after death, to his wile; but previously to his
dtath the General levied a fine on the estate, and this was con-
tended by the heir-at-law to hare set the will aside. The pro.
perty consisted of twenty acres of land, and twelve houses in
Wilderness-row, and Ranelagh, Chelsea. Part of Lite estate had
been re-modelled after the will was made, which, it sou contended,
amounted to a revocation of the will. The General had sold six
acres of the land to Chelsea Hospital. All that the heir-at-law
(Mr. Bulkley) wished to receiver was, the property pouessed by the
General at the time of his death.
Several witnesses were examined respecting the property in gues.
Lion, and the son of the plaintiff mentioned several conurbations
between his father and the General on the subject.
Mr. Sergeant BOSANQUET said, that if the plaintiff succeeded
in this case, it would be against all tl:e principles of justice. The
plaintiff, Mr. Bulkley, is a Solicitor, and rented tom,. property from
the General. He also acted for the General in legal matters, sad
was employed to make out the line. but had overstepped his in-
structions by putting property into the finu which was nut intended,
so as eventually to set aside the will. The General and he were
both descended from the same ancestor, and after the General's
death, Mr. Bulkley would be heir-at.law to his property.
Much argument arose respecting the property intended to be
paued by the fine.
The (lurk. JUSTICI: said, that the fine could not be set aside,
as it %solidi be interfering with the principle of vested rights and
property. The plaintiff had certainly acted in no delicate manner
by making himself a party to a deed for his own advantage, with-
out the full knowledge of the General. But although he could
recover by the fine, another Court would take care that he should
reap no benefit from it.
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the Ranelagh
estate.

This was an action against the defendant tur slander.
Mr. t. ev opened the case, and stated that the plaintiff was
a brewer and niettster in the county of Gloucester, and the
fender., an attorney in Porten. Mr. lilinehen had accused the
plaintiff of forgery; and as this was injurious to his character and
intrrotti„ he hoped the Jury would grant him that compensation
%Melt his case required.
The Learned Counsel called Mr. Markham, a messenger of
bankruptcy. to prove that Minchen had said, "Storey has com-

Mr. Sc as Lilee contended that these words were used only con.
dilicnally. A Mr. Pink had become bankrupt, and the plaintiff
claimed 9001. as a creditor. Mr. Pink said this sum could be
claimed only on account of some bills which had hem accepted as
by him, and the whole transaction had taken place without his
knowledge. The defendant then said, if that is the case, Storey
committed a forgery. Mr. Scarlet called witnesses to prove
this, when, at the suggestion of the Lord Chief Justice, both parties
agreed is withdraw &Juror.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, APRIL 26.

The Coast sat to hear unopposed ruses, and those against whom
opposition wee entered were ordered to be adjourned until the 3d
of Ably ; as will also the opposed eases of this day, until the 4th
proximo.
JUDGMENT.

John Holland Goddard, a fashionably-dressed young man, whose
case was heard on the 3d ult., came up for judgment, his service
of notices being complete.
On the on hearing the insolvent was opposed on behalf of
Mr. Charles Fora.
Mt. Commiuioner 'lanais, in pronouncing judgment, adverted
to the evidence previously adduced, and observed, that, when the
insolvent was first bcfore the Court, they expressed their marked
disapprobation of the insolvent's conduct. It was quite manifest
that he had obtained goods of Mr. Fore, to a considerable amount,
by ration of false pretensions, and which goods would not have been
delivered, but for the representations then made, for which there
was not a shadow of pretext, as the insolvent well knew that he
was unable to complete the contract he entered into. The adjudi-
cation of the Court, therefore, was, that he should not be die.
charged out of custody, or receive any benefit or protection under
the Act, until he should have been 111 custody for eight calendar
months from the date of his petition, and confined within the walls
of the prison for fraudulently contracting a debt with Mr. Fora,
at whose suit he was remanded.

We have &considerable deal of very fine Beef in the Market this
morning, and the quantity being rather beyond tne demand
(owing to the absence of families from town during the holiday.),
there is • dullness in the sale, and the best sorts do not find pur-
chaser. beyond Is. per stone. The number of Sheep here to-day
(16,000) is not great ; nevertheless the larger sorts of fat mutton go
off heavily at reduced prices ; while Sheep of from 81t. to 9st.
maintain the terms of Monday last without difficulty. Rather
more money is given for the best Calves, which will appear by the
figures. There is some good Lamb at Market, and 6s. 6d. is ob-
tained for those of from 4st. to fist. Pork is much the same this
morning, both here and at Barnet; at the latter place the supply
was large, and the buyers numerous.
