COVENT-GARDEN THEITRE.

Rover s tragedy of Tamerlane was last night re-
vived at this theatre. It is a tediously-declaratory
o,l—and, after the little success which attended
;is ',informative at Drury-lane theatre, we were
ism.-ohat surprised to find it ',induced Isere. Mr.
Nlseacanst appeared as Bajazet—a part without
parletT—H part which, after the first scene, ceases
In interest. The bias of Baja:ere mind is disclosed
almost the moment he appears. He is a war_
,:dr, without that noble elevation of mind whic
warrior ought to possess—a lover, without the
generous confidence which a lover ought to feel—
in shirt, he is a thorough tyrant—and in the mind
as here tyrannical principles take root, ito good or
kindle feelings are ever known to prosper. Mr.
I.I%CRF.ADY conceived this character justly--effil
b". swing was not less excellent than his conceit-
'ion. The fiery, the ambit' , the hideously tin-
contrullahle spirit of Bajazet, were obvious in all
his scenes. The bold determination of his instiller--
the fierce energy of his looks—the bitterness with
which he uttered the reproaches of a wounded
spirt. " fallen from its high estate"—all stumped
hum a perfect Biejaret. There was, too, in all his
tram', a scowling dignity—a fierce demeanour
—the up-springings of an unbending spirit—the
force and lire of a mind that disdained the
iniaries of fortune, and rose superior to them. The
character is, in itself. unamiable—hut Mr. &lac-
arany's animated performance almost led us to
schlaire it. Applause was showered, not unsp tr-
ingly, on his exertions. The sober, philosophising
Tamerlane was exceedingly well represented, by
IVr. C. IliEster.E. There was, throughout, much
dignity, and when the occasion demanded it, much
animation in his performance. In the scene where
Bajaut reproaches him with harbouring designs
*gaunt the virtue of Arpasia, his mode of repel-
ling the accusation was uncommonly fine. Li
this scene Mr. Alit:actin's efforts were truly great.
The passionate observations which he stldreasttl to
his conqueror were delivered with wonderful force
and bitterness. This, indeed, was by far the best
Katie in the play—for here Mr. KEMBLE and Mr.
MACREADY exerted their best powers. Mr. AB-
sort was a good filmset —Mr. CON Noa's diullu
merits a very favourable notice ; it was, in every
rispect, a well-sustained character. Mrs. Bums,
played the part of Arpasia with much feeling. Miss
FuoTE, as ,S.'elima, delighted at once by the beauty
of her appearance, and the soft and gentle manner
in ohich she performed the character.

CRIMINAL INFORMATIONS
AGAINST THE SENDERS OF RLASPHEMOUSAND
SEDITIOUS PUBLICATIONS.

Monday Robert Shorter, a vender of pamphlets in Wych-
strict, and Russell-court, Drury-lane, received notice (ruin
the Crows-office, that two informations, ex.oorso, had been
filed against him by Sir R. Gifford, his Majesty's Attunes.
General. The first is for publishing Carbles Nos. 2
and 3 of Tke Repablieun, containing a libellous letter, ad-
dres.seA to the inhabitants of Manchester, in which the
Magistrates of Manchester are charged with the crime of
murder, &c. " and also containing a letter to his Royal High-
ness the Prince Regent, on his thanking the Magistrates sod
Yeomanry of Manchester for the acts committed by them
on the 16th of August last i" and also containing some
blasphemous and impious matter, stating that every spe-
cies of religion is an imposition and fraud, practised by base
and designing men on the credulous part of mankind, &c.
Four er °Mei° informations have been also filed against
Harris, vender of pamphlets, Broad-court, Long-acre, for
publishing the works of Ciliate, containing similar obnoxi-
ous matter to that which we have above quoted. The par-
ties have each been d with a subpoena to appear in the
Court of King's Beach, to plead to the several informatioas
against them on Friday next. It is reported that similar
informations ere preparing against several other renders.

A Meeting of the Inhabitant Householders of
St. James's and St. George's Parishes was held at
Wri.us's Rooms on Monday night, the Hon. G.
LAMB in the Chair, to take into consideration the
increase of the rates exacted by the Water Com-
panics, when these rates were strongly censured as
excessive, and Resolutions were passed for mist-
ing their payment, and forming a new Water
Company.
The High Sheriff of Berkshire having refused to
comply with the requisition for calling a county
meeting on the subject of the Manchester transac-
tions, the requisitionists have themselves called a
meeting : it is u•oderstood thst Lord FOLKSTONII
and Mr. C. F. PALMER will be present, and it is
announced that the declarators intelid to rally and
oppose the resolutions.
Mr. C. SCOTT ■nd Mr. G. EDWARD DINSDALE,
two of the Gentlemen whose names are subscribed
to the Yorkshire Counter Declaration, have, in a
letter to the Editor of The York Herold, declared
their entire ignorance even of the existence of that
document until made known to them through the
medium of that ;taper, and detire that their 'tames
be omitted in future. This circumstance may prove
the extraordinary zeal, but not the candour of these
furiously loyal Gentlemen, who seek to recommend
themselves by misrepresenting the state of the pub-
lic mind in Yorkshire.

Accounts, we understand, have been at length
received of the expedition, consisting of the Ueda
and Griper, now on a voyage of discovery to the
North Pole. It had proceeded as far as the 86th
degree of latitude, which is. we believe. as far as
Captain Rum was able to penetrate. In B.iffin'il
Bay they had fallen in with an immense mass of
ice, which appeared to be formed upon a solid rock
in the bay. The sea on the northern side of this limge
ma., presented the singular appearance of a lake
perfectly free from ice. Such of the native in-
habitants of those regions as they had met, did not
appear to have ever seen or heard of the former
expedition under Captain Ross. It seemed to be
the opinion of the present voyagers, that there is no
passage out of Baffin's Bay.

A letter from Madsid, dated October 26, says,
" The epidemic malady winch desolates Andalusia
colitinues its ravage., sod every day increases. At
Seville, where it was hoped the diocese had confined
itself to the quarter of Saute-Cruz, it is found ne-
eetwary to cut off all communication with various
Image., situated in other part. of the town. The
divelopeineut of the contagion beyond the original
demarcation has induced the Captain-General of
Estreitiadura to establish a new cordon on the fron-
tiers of that province, on the side of Seville.

The LOlll3 CNA Ft Et.i.oft, some time after cowling
into Court this mor g, said, he had not had time
the night before to write the order he• intended
making in the cave of the Attorney• General v.
Buller. But he meant to draw it up with his owis
binds, and bring it into Court the following morn-
ing. at which nine he would give some explanation
of the reasons on which it was to be grounded.

111:0%Y1E V. DE TAYTET.
This wits rin appeal from a decree pronounced
by the late Master of the Rolls.
The Plaintiff, Mrs. Browne, was the daughter
of a Mr. Antonio Malign), who had been engaged
in trade, iii partnership with Mr. De Tomei, fur
marry years previous to the year Ism. flaring
been greatly advanced in life, he, in that year, re-
tired from the bu.iness, leaving his capital still
vested in the house, and his signature to Mr. De
Tastet. Subsequently, two Other persons, mimed
Parier and Gielle►, were taken .iiito ',armrest's,'
with Mr. De Tastet. Ist the year 1802, Mr. Mar-
gin returned to the establishment, and resumed
•hare in the management of its affairs, in con•idera-
ttun thereof, contractitig with Mr. De Tastet " fi.r
a moiety of his share." In 1803, he died, and his
daughter and sole representative, the Plaintiff,
filed a bill to compel Air. De Tastes alone to ac-
count to her for her fathees proportion of the capi-
tal in the house, 311.1 all the profits made thereon
since his renewed connexion with it in ISO.I, up to
the time of his decease. These were alleged to he
about 70,0001. Au answer was rat in by the De.
fenders', setting forth that Mr. Pari-r soil Mr.
Grellet should have been made parties to the suit,
as being partners in the firm. Accordingly the bill
was amended, by introducing three as parties, arid
souse other relatives of Mr. Margin, the necestity
of which aro►e from sonic vague idea of Mrs.
Browne's being an illegitimate child. The bill was
heard before the Lite Master of the Rolls, who
pronounced a decree against Mr. De Tastes, di-
recting him alone to account lon the capital and
profile. Ott the hearing, no evidence whatever rip-
peered against Mr. Peeler.
Against this decree the Defendant appealed. Yes-
terday the Appellant's Counsel were heard iu sup-
port of the appeal. They conterided that the de-
cree was colitrury to the facts of the case, to the
evidence, and the rules of pleading and ptuctice of
the Court. 1 t eas contrary to the facts, for it sup-
posed that Mr. Mangin had not bent a partner in
the general, ordinary sense of the word, with De
Tastet, Pavan', and Grellet, from the year IttOi till
his death; whereas the amended bill, in its first
allegation, spoke of the partnership us an ordinary
one between the four person', and represented Mr.
Mangin as a partner in the general affair* and con-
cerns-of the firm. lit contracting for a moiety of
Mr. De Tsstet's share, Mr. Malign► had intended,
and did in fact agree. to have one-fourth of the en-
tire profits, putting himself in the same condition
with the other members of the firm, It was at va-
riance with the rules of pleading, her there was iio
precedent for such a proceeding ; and it was not
competent to the Master of the Bolls, when a party
had in his bill preferred a complaint against et rtain
persons by awn*, to suppress it wholly, as agatust
certain of them, and say et was well-founded against
one of them only.
The Counsel for the Appellee not having been
prepared, the further proceedings ware deferred till
this morning, when
The ATTORNEY-GEE ERA T. was heard on the side
of the Appellee, and in support of the decree. He
argued that the words " u moiety of his share" im-
ported a partnership in a share (Mr. Dr Tract's)
of the concern, not it share in the partnership—mid
these were quite different thing•. The cuirtract had
been entered into between Mr. Marigin and Mr.
De Tastet alone, and by it Mr. De Tastet had re-
argued a moiety of the profit* of his share to Mr.
Mangin, daring the life of the latter ; but there
was no privily of contract between him aid the
other partners, they were straugers to the tran►ac-
tion. At the time Mr. Mangin had retired, Mr.
De Tastet alone had any interest in the concern,
afterwards for his own convenience, he took in the
others ; but Mr. Mangin had nothing to do with
them, and it was tome Defendant alone, he applied
previous to joining the firm a second time. From
these frets, it followed, that fin other decree than
that appealed against could have been pronounced,
and he was convinced his Lord►hip would feel him-
self bound to affirm it.

Mr. Holm, Mr. WINTHORPE, and Mr. WAILS..
YIELD followed on the Name bide.

Mr. WETHERELL replied.
Ilia Lordship said lie would look over the papers
in the cause, and say to-morrow morning when he
should be able to give judgment.
When the City procession reached Westminster
Hall, his Lordship retired, and returned in a few
iiiiiiiites, wearing a hat and other habiliments norne-
thirig richer than on ordinary occasions. In about
Italian hour, during which his Lordship remained
covered. The Recorder, the present and late Lord
Mayor, Aldermen Wood, Smith, Thorp, and
Cox, the two Sheriff's, and the Common Serjrant
entered the Court. The first three advanced into
the space below, rad the Recorder said :—" My
Lord, the Lord Mayor and Sheriff Rothwell re-
quest the honour of your Lordship's company at
dinner this day." His Lordship bowed amen!, and

COURT OF LING'S BENCH, %Tumorro,

THE KING v. HOSILET WOOLF.

Mr. Ctityrtr moved for leave to enlarge the re.
turn of the writ of renditiowe expencts, on this cases
to the ser•ond day of next Term. It must be re-
membered that when Moseley •Woolf ■nd some
others were convicted of a conspiracy, the former
was lined in 10,0001. to the use of the King. The
writ was returnable this Term, hut the debt had
not been satisfied, and it was now moved to enlarge
the time, on the affidavits of some eminent auc-
tioneers, that as these effects were goods most in
request in winter, their -value would be greatly
depreciated, if the sale were to take place im-
mediately.
The (..7111EY JUSTICE being satisfied that the
affidavits averred no part of the tine bad been re-
ceived, granted • rule to chew cause.
It was ordered, that the rule should be served
upon the Defendant's solicitor, cud the solicitor
for the Crown.
TSB KING •. CARIALE.

M►. Cartile, having given notice. obtained a rule
on Monthly, to afford him an opportunity of •p-
-pesring in Court to move for a new trial. He pro-
cured a Judge'• order, directed to the Marshal of
the King's Bench Prison, to be brought into Court
to enable him to move for • rule nisi. This morn-
ing the tipstuff brought Mr. Carlyle into Court. He
took his seat in the body of the Court, on the
benches usually allotted to the Solicitors.
The Solicitor-General having been called on by
the Chief Justice, stated, that he understood
Richard Cathie was in attendance, for the purpose
of making some application to the Court.
Chief Justice Assorr—,4 What is the nature of
the application?"
Mr. Cathie then rose, and stated, that he ap-
peared to move for a rule to sheet cause why he
should not have ■ new trial. His object was to set
aside the verdict which had been obtained spinet
him.

Chief Justice ABBOTT, after consulting with his
brother Judges, stated, that as the early business
of the Teruo, consisting of applications for new trials,
&c. was considerable, and its the period for transact-
ing such business was somewhat limited, and delayed
by the variety of motions and certain ceremonies.
the Court wished that this application should stand
over fur a few days. This delay would greatly con-
venience the Court, as it was the anxious desire
not to impede the usual business of the Term : and
this postponement should not interfere with the
interests of Mr. Cathie.

Mr. Carlile appeal lug to be fearful that he might
lose the right of moving for a new trial, as such
motion, according to the general rule of the Court,
ought to be made within the first four days of
Term, looked at the papers which he held in his
hand, and was about to say something, when
Chief Justice ABBOTT repeated, that the short
delay should not affect him ; he should stand in
the same situation iu which he now did in point of
time, and clue notice should be given of the day
when the Court wished the application to be made.
Mr. Cathie retired in the custody of the officer.
