Ane? the ibeiledy"rof The Dramatist last night
was produced the long-promised spectacle of The
Carmelo*. The preparations have been made
upon a very liberal and effective scale. The first
scene is a fine panoramic view of the street, with the
platform, galleries of spectators,- and troops before
which the procession passes, in the same order, as
nearly as the theatre would admit, as that observed
oft the 19th July. at Westminster. Having the
advantage of that day's experience to guide them,
the Managers louse mailed themselves of it most
successfully, and the cosituvere of each particular
class of persons engaged iu the real ceremony has
been copied.iviiii great exactness. Mr. ..--RLI.ISTON
represented Ids Majesty in robes, which bore a close
resemblauce to thine worn on the day before men.
tioued. He looked well in them, moved gracefully,
and was cheered with much warmth, poet of which
seemed to be a tribute to himself and part to the
occasion. The canopy was a very neat and close
resemblance of the real one. The procession left the
stage; the scene changed to the Abbey, and a very
accurate representanon was d splayed of the irate.

from the bock of the pit up to the stage on a plat-
form which teos-lalrt over fie the purpose. A- 'sort
of the religious ceremonies was executed, such as
the presenting, receiving, and consecrating the rega-
ha, the homage and the enthronization. Meantime
the choir went through various parts of the religious
issuwc used on the dey of the coronation. The
scene closed again. and ■ view of the Park was pre-
*voted. KNIGHT came on in quality of o country-
man, and sang a humorous song of loyalty, which
was encored. He wait joined by Mr. RUSSELL, as a
ot.satnait, Miss Cowin', his sweetheart, and Mr. T.
COOSA, his Captain. Between them there was
o short interlude kept op, the writing of which
will do more for the author on the score of loyalty
than of wit. The scene gives time for changing the
iiiterior to that of Westminster Hall. Though the
preceding view was intry st ri king, this which succeed-

a close imitation of that which really took place. Af-

HAYMAREET.
Lovers' Quarrels was performed at this theatre
last night, Miss BOYCE sustaining the part of
Leonora with mach spirit. Mrs. TAYLEURS, in
the 'matt coquet Jacinths, and Mr. J. RUSSELL,
in the eccentric humour of Sancho, were all that
could be desired.
The comedy of the heir at Law followed, in
which the characters were uniformly well sus-
tained. Mr. Witidtms gave is rich and enter-
Limit% portraiture of the ionize self-satisfied vulgar
importance of the chandler Lord, Daniel Damien.
The heedless vivacity of the attorney's clerk, hick
Dowisii, and his flippant coxcombry after his
smitten elevation as an Honourable, sat easily on
?.Jr. LACY, who gave the fullest effect also to those
scenes in which the more genuine end hearty ems -
lions of the character are resumed. Mr. J. Hos-
sctr. gave 'it finished performance of the unsophis-
ticated feeling and honest rusticity of Zekiel.
Time eccentricities of Doctor Panglos, his pomp-
ous pedantry, his easy and almost fawning pliabi-
lity, the awkward transports of his rainiest upon
each successive increase of his income, and the
still woe ludtcroes despondency of his resignation
under his reverse of fortune, were hit off with ex-
quisite !minim by Mr. TERRY. Mrs. PEARCE
was ma legitimate representative of Deborah Dow-
Lis, the clearstarcher. with all the pertness or
vulgar upstott, awkwardly assuming the airs and
would-be easy demeanour which she- conceives be-
coming the wife of a Peer. Mrs. You NG was
graceful and ladylike in Caroline Dormer; and
Cicely—the simple, artless, guileless, affectionate,
amid cat► tiding•titety Homespun—was issterrstingly
sustained by Mrs. /dolma.
The whole perfoinsance sgave unqualified sibs-
faction to an elegant and crowded audieuce.

Mr. Green ascended •*ith his balloon yesterday
from the Belvidere, Pentonville. This is the same
intrepid aeronaut, and the vehicle the same, that
amended from the Green Park on the day of the
coronation. Mr. Green resides in Goswell-street,
Barbican, and was to he accompanied in his serial
flight by an opposite neighbour, a daring and scien-
tific brinier of the same street. Mr. Green, how-
ever, took his flight alone., Whether his expected
companion could not solder up courage enough for
the purpose has not transpired. The balloon, as
on the late ascent, was inflated by common gas....
From the thin and light slate of the atmosphere,
on lira leaving the parent earth, it ascended but
slowly, and in a lateral direction. The intrepid
aeronaut threw out ballast to aid its flight, but not
in sufficient quantity. After a short interval he
lightened his burden by a second discharge of bal-
last, which had the desired effect. The balloon
went off in a north-easterly direction, and was soon
out of sight.. An immense concourse of specta-
tors was assembled on the occasion. We regret
to slate that it was attended by several accidents.
• A number of persons of both sexes, consisting
of men, women, and children, who had assembled
to witness the ascension of the balloon, climbed on
a low wall, toped with iron railing, surrounding
the lawn in front of a gentleman's house, for the
purpose of elevating themselves above those on the
ground, wheii the railing not bring sufficient to
resist the cumbrous weight of those attached to it,
about twenty yards of it gave way, together with
a part of the wall, bearing all before it into the
street, and many had either a leg or an arm broken;
hut the most grievous case of all was that of a
fine boy, about eight years of age, who was killed
on the spot by a large portion of the stone pillar of
the gate falling on his head, which crushed it to
mummy.
We do not recollect any public meeting sioce
the memorable %Vest End Fuir, at which the
light-fingered gentry mustered so strong as they
did yesterday in front of the Belvidere, in Penton-
vale, where, forming themselves into files, they
paraded through the crowd, and robbed almost
every person who came in their way. Several ladies
and gentlemen were robbed of their gold watches,
ridicules, and pocket-handkerchiefs. Upwards of
forty of those villains were secured and lodged in
Pentouville watch-house.

Mr. 1:1412 stated this was the petition cif the

Cl4rN.ead John Townehend and Mr. Blake,
tine trusties appointed by the will of the late Mar.
qiitivor Towrialiend, and their agents, might be re-
strained by isijunction from cutting down timber
on the ti estates, and that Mr. G. Daniel,
the receiver appointed by the Court. slight be
reacted fora that situation) and another receiver
appointed in his place, and that he might be or-
deredMeisetenint for all the timber which had been
already **it'down and disposed of with his privity.
lie (tile Learued Counsel) stated that the Plaintiff
hart found it necessary to present this petition) in
order to prevent the property in trust from bring
unnecesoanly wasted. The trustees left the ma-
nagement of the estate entirely to their subordinate
agellles who had lately been in the habit of cutting
down large quantities of thither, for which no ac-
coast had been rendered) and also that the parties
against whom the petition was presented had con-
tinued to cot timber at a time whets many tree.
which had been already felled were suffered to lie
op the refound and rot unused. He therefore con.
leolled shut there was sufficient ground for the re-
moval of Mr. Daniel from the receivership, that of
hie not having interfered as he ought to have done
to have pre.eirted the waste complained of. He
area convinced that he had shown sufficient to the
Omit to induce his Lordship to grant the prayer of
the petition.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL, Counsel for Mr.
Daniel. opposed the petition. He cootended that
his cheat was in no way answerable for the alleged
waste, for in fact he had never given any directions
for the felling of the timber, arid was lie ways an-
swerable for what war done by the trustees or their
agents. Under those circumstances he had no doubt
but his Lordship would dismiss that part of the
petition which went to affect Mr. Daniel.
Mr. Hoene followed on the same side.
Mr. HEALD, Counsel for the trustees, contended
!bat there was a discretionary power vested iu them
pith respect to the felling of the timber, and stated
*et his clients fully approved of the conduct of
Illeieogesits in cutting down the timber. It would
be k waste of the time of the Court if he was to
bake any further observations' as the petition was
Uncalled for, and ought to be dismissed.
Mr. SHADWILL followed on the saute side.
• Mr. More replied.
• The LORD CHANCELLOR--" I have read the
petition, and I observed that the will of the late
Marquis of Townslietel devised his estates in trust
to Lord John 'rownshend and Mr. Blake for a term
of 21 year., during which time they were empower-
ed to cut down timber as they should think proper.
sad accumulate the produce for the benefit of the
heir. In 1812, application, it appears, was Made
to this Court for a receiver of the rents and profits.
which application was acceded to by the Coort, and
Mr. G. Desist was appointed to that office. The
order for the appointment of this Geetlemoo was
drawn up in the usual way sseh orders are usually
drawn up. and nothing said in it respectiug the cut-
tiog of timber. Although in orditutry cases the power
at cutting down timber belongs to the receiver.
yet here there is a special direction in the Will that
the trustees shall exercise that authority. From the
year 1812 down to the present time the estates
have continued to be managed iu the way now
complained of. It appears the agents of the
trustees have been cutting down timber, and the
receiver has never interfered in any way. ex-
cept for the purpose of receiving the produce
of the timber so cut down. It does not ap-
pear that this officer is unwilling to account for
the money he has received for the timber. In my
opinion it is a very hard case to present this peti-
tion spinet Mr. Daniel, who had no power to eel
otherwise than he has done. I see co meson for
charging Mr. Daiiiel with acting improperly, awd
therefore the petition, so far as it respects hiss, mint
be dismissed with costs. Although there is a dis-
cretionary powery vested in the trustees with respect
to the felling of the timber, yet they must be held
responsible for the misapplication of the produce of
the timber. It is not because they possess a dis-
cretionary authority that the Petitioner is not to he
protected against the abuse of it. If Loot-Charles
Townshend can state any particular acts of miscon-
duct on the part of the trustrees, the Court will nut
hesitate to refer the subject to the Master ; at pre-
sent all I find myself permitted to do is, to order
thut no timber shall be cut down unless fur neces-
sary repairs on the estates, without the direction of
a Master of this Court. As to the coats of this sp.
plication, let the coats of all the ponies be paid mat
of the estates, except that part of the petition
which goes to offer t Mr. Daniel, the receive."
Prayer of the petition granted in part.

This was an action for Criminal Conversation

Mr. HOLT opened the plesdings.
Mr. SC•RLETT stated the case to the Jury. He
aid this was an action to recover a compensation in
damages for an injury which occurred but too
frequently in the higher circles of society in this
coeutry. Hitherto it had not been very common
among the middle ranks. Juries had always given
large &tines in cases of this sort, and he could
not conceive that because the parties moved in an
hatable sphere, that the injury was at all lessened
Aar the claim to exemplary damages diminished.
4'he Plaintiff kept • tavern called the 0. P. and
r. S. in Russell-court. The Defendant was in a
rink of life nearly the same ; he wasa law stationer,
„Using in Mitre-court. The Learned Counsel then

appeared in evidence, and called upon the Jury to
protect the morals of the country by awarding
