DRUILY•LAN E.
%mato A N'S admirable comedy. The School for
Scandal. was represented last night. and introduced
a new candidate fur theatrical fame on the London
hoards, in the person of Mrs. PAYNE, who per-
formed the character of Lady Teazle. This Lady
was announced as coming from the Livrrpool
Theatre. and in her self-pomesaion evinced a per-
fect acquaintance with the stage. She went through
the port with a great deal of spirit and anima-
tion, but her humour did not appear nutn►al, and
there was an almost continual smile upon her coun-
tenance, which threw over her actin!: the air of
affectation. Her action is free, and her enuncia-
tion correct; her person rather under middle vise,
slender, and well proportioned, and her count*.
nonce expressive. Sloe was very well received; and
many of the prominent points in the character
were given with a force sod effect that elicited the
plaudits of a full and elegant audience.

COY NT. GA MOEN.

Mita MACAULEY made her second appearance
last night in ll►e character of ✓owe Shore. With,
we believe, little previous acquaintance with the
part, and before an audience with the impression
made by Mts. O'NEILL frrrh in their recodreiinn,
Miss MACAULEY preertited herself under great di►-
advantage. She sustained the character, however,
in a manner highly creditable to her talents, and to
the satisfaction of a full and fashionable house. She
rose ul►on herself in the progress of the piece, and
the feeling and energy displayed in the last act
received the most marked approbation. Some pas-
sages deprecating, civil brush,, in the character of
Lord Hastings, performed by Mr. C. KEMBLE,
were eagerly seized upon by the audience, who,
applying them to the present time, indulged
in three distinct rounds of applause. Mrs. BUNN
appeared to great advantage, and the other charac-
ters were sustained with their usual excellence.

RIGHT OF BURYING.

Mr. LAND said, lie had a Petition to present to
the House of rather an unusual nature, but he was
sure that when the House was made acquainted
with its contents, they would not deem it unworthy
of their anent . It was from a husband who had
beet. fur the space of eight months engaged in en-
deavouring to procure interment for the remains of a
beloved wife, but had hitherto been unable to effect
it. The Petitioner (Mr. Gilbert, of St. Andrew's
'mist), Holborn) thought it necessary in the first
instance to state the first circumstance which had
led to the delay and obstruction he complained
of. His wile haul entertained a strong dread of
her b dy be;eig taken up•for di•arctton by resurrec-
tion men, and, in order to prevent this, iu her dying
1111 l ents berouglit him to piece her body iii a
coffin of more than ordinary sireugtli ; lie had done
so, and placed the body in a patent iron coffin.
In proceeding, however, to have this depositetl in
the church-yard, be was unexpectedly resisted by
the clitatchwtsruktis, %.ho to this hour obstiultely
persisted in refusing the body Christian rites. [Mr.
;iitalt then articled army of the particulars of this
csst, whirh hat ready hero so frequently before

BONAPARTE' IN ST. lII:LENA.

A very entertaining, little work has been just
published, entitled " Fads ifittriratire of the Treat.
meat of Napoleon Bonaparte ix Saint Ileleaa."—..
The matter professes to be the resort of minute in-
quiries sod personal resracrh na !hat blend, and
the motive of the writer in collecting mid pub.
lidhiog it, a desire to afford correct ni!Illa I ion
upon a highly-iiiteresting subject, in which he con-
eiders the honour of the country, and the elm-oiler.
of its Administration and their Rept. ,viit.iii‘es iu
Saint Helena, are deeply Rtic_
Veracity is the only merit lie c•laitnd for las compo-
sition, and lie boldly pledged himdslf to the cor-
rectness of his stateme,:ts. If Ibis title, to candour
amid correctness be well werrdiited by the fact, the
hook is certainly a compldte refutation of the
scl.ounts or the treatment of Bonaparte given by
Count Las Cases and Doctor O'Meara. All the
complaints of bad and scanty food, inconvenient
habitation, restricted exercise, and the unnecessary
harshness and capricious tyrantly exercised by Sir
Hudson Lowe and his subordinate•, are false and
groundless fabrications. The beef, breml,Koul water,
the writer says, are all of excellent quality ; Long-
wood, the habitation of Bonaparte, far from
being " destitute of shade, water, amid coolness,"
is situate I, on a Verdant VIM el," within Ilse luxu-
riant shade of a dv,oot extendrog ,early four miles
in kiwi), from which it derives its name ; and, to
the personal knowledge of the wilier, the treatment
of Bonaparte at St. H•lo•ua, so far from bring
capricious and annoying, is, to every respect, with
proper regard to his security, mild and geode; the
minutest attention is paid to the most oritliiig of his
whims and fancies, every accommodation is afforded
!lira in his residence, which is commodious ; and,
finally, he is in sxcellent health and spirits. The
anonymous writer of this work has, as we have
already stated, professed the most strict veracity,
hut its spirit is adverse to tt.e fallen Chief.

tisement, thut • PORTRAIT of the bite Or. CHARLES
lIRRIIRY is to be published in Tim Erropr%3 Magazine

for them to have renewed in their minds the many inclNaces

political', the owner of the Rising Son, Great Castle.street.

under the arbitrary system of licensing viettiallingdoms,r,
and praying relief. The substance of his complaint Ira.,
that having taken the above house to carry on his husines.,
a Magistrate refused to grant 11101 a license, unless he paid
a chin due to the revenue by the former occupant, wills
which he had Ho concern whatever. That he had in corm.
quenee submitted to the demand, and niaile many applit
1101/4 to have the money refunded from the time of payment
in 1813, but without success. The Petitiuuer prayed the
Henze to take his case into conaideratiou, and afford him
such relief as might I.e thought advisable. The Hun. Mem-
r proceeded to say, that understanding the Member foe
Shrewsbury had intimated an intention to bring the subject
to which the Petition referred before the House, he should
at present merely move, after the present Petition was
brought op, that the minutes of evidence taken before the
Select Committee on the Brewers of the Metropolis, of i let

tained in a Court of Justice, and llie further debate on Ilse

SUITORS IN CHANCERY,

Mr. M. A. TAYLOR !a'a, the motion he was noir
about to make was only a prehimilaty step to others
which he meant to bring before t:ie lima. , iirhaps
in the course of the present Session, with rtvect to
the delay in the Court of Chancery, and the Lit,' -
nese with which the appellant jurisdiction wits
ministered. The observations which he was u:,n..t
to make might be considered as involving a brat of
general notice on this important subject. He
thought it mould be disrespectful to the House.
and not in conformity with the ditty he I.- ved to the
public, if lie did not state, in as few words as pus.
sible, the object which he had in vies. The mo-
tion which lie was about to submit to the House
simply went to this—" Tiest there be laid befoi t

effects of Suitor. in the High Court of Chancery,
in the year 17.16, in every rubsequent tenth )eat
since 1756, and in the year 1818." What he laud
in view was, to shew to the House the real extent of
business in the Court of Chancery, by a refereuce
to the amount of money *hid* that Court had de.
posited in the Bank of Englaud in the name of the
Accountant-General—coniparing dna with the fut.

the nature of the business brought before it by the

Mr. WFSTIMN and Mr.l4 ITHLI VN mutually explained.

Mr. PLuff err said, there was an evident misapprehension
existisig. The clergy had, he said, petitioned against the
claims, under the impress 1111 l that the interests of the Pro-
testant Church were iu danger ; they considered that a ques-
tion of religion, which he regarded us one of great civil po-
licy, smd certainly they hail a right to petition in a collective
we well as in air individual capacity ; but it perhaps wontd
have been advisable to have abstained fl-um taking so active
a part as they had taken upon the occasion.
Lord MILTON coucorred fully in his lion. Friend's (Mr.
Western's) opinion. He asked whether, if the Ist regiment
of guards came down to the House with a Petition, the
Moth'', would receive it' The Heuer, lie said, might as
well abdicate its fouttions altogether- The clergy were the
servants of the body of the church, nod they should not
arrogate to themselves an influence which they bad uu right
to exercise.
Mr. Pug briefly explained, after which the Petition was
ordered to lie on the table.
A Petition was presented from Northampton, against the
Catholic Claims.
Sir GRORHA HILL presented a Petition from Londonderry,
against the Claims of the Catholics. It contained, be said,
the sentiments of the great body of the Protestants of the
north of Ireland, and he concurred in its views.—Laid on
the table.
Mr. SHAW presented a Petition from the City of Dublin,
in favour of the Catholic on the tahle.
Mr. HART DAVIS prcsentfed two Petitions from Bristol,

habitants of Manchester tool Salford, in favour of the Ca-
tholic Claims. He should not, lie said, he able to avail

AFFAIR OF HONOUR.

A duel between the Earl of I)onouglimore and
Colonel Bagwell took place last ninitong, about
three miles from town, on the I.Txbridge-road.
The Noble Earl was acrotnlinined by Sir Hobert
Wilson, and Colonel Bagwell by Mr. Jame-, Didy.
It was agreed by the seconds to toss up for the
first tire, which waa won by Mr. Daly ; and the
principals having taken their station, that Gentle-
man gave the signal to ti. e, by throwing up his
hat. Col. Bagwell tired aid missed. The Earl
of Donoughniore missed tire iii tet.ru. Colonel
Bagwell declined to take advantage of this en-
cuinstance, and culled on the Noble Lord to
fire. The Earl of I)ononghmote very hand-
somely said it was impossible. Sir Hobert Wil.
son added, the miss was decisive of a shot. This
led to an attempt on the part of the seconds to
accommodate the business, which was attended with
success, and the parties shook hands. The Earl
of I)onoughmore expressed a hope that they should
prove better neighbours, to which Col. Bagwell gave
his cordial concurrence. The patties then left the
ground, and returned to town. The quarrel, we
understand, arose out of a political misunderstand-
ing in Ireland, connected, we believe, with the late
election for the county of Tipperary, and revived
here by Colonel Bagwell.

BEDFORD CHARITY.

His Lordship, in this case, said, that whenever
an abuse took place in the charity at Bedford for
the support of the poor, and for the maintenance
of • school, the case might be brought before Inns
by a person living in the town. Its the present
instance, the elders of a London Jewish synagogue
were complainants, and lie could not consider tl►em
as proper parties. He would dismiss the applica-
tion, so far as they were concerned, and would nut
week dispose of it as to the other parties.

FORSYTH v. LEVIER.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. ROMILLY
now moved for an injunction in this case, to restrain
the Defendant from yelling fire-arms with a patent
lock, invented by the Plaintiff, who is a Scots
Clergyman. The Plaintiff had, in 1799, invented
this lock, by which the firing of small arms was
rendered much more easy, and also more effectual,
titan by the old plan. It had since been imitated
by two persons of the names of Manton and
icker•, against whom actions had been brought,
and damages recovered. The Defendant had .old
a very great number, and was at present preparing
a number more, in consequence of a great demand
in anticipation of September next ; and the Plaintiff
was, of course, desirous to atop him in time.
Me. WINGFIELD, on the other side, contended,
that there was no invasion of the potent, as the locks
differed materially in the manner of going off, one
having a fixed pellet, and the other a moveable one.
'rime LORD CII•NCELLOS, who seemed much
amused with the case, examined six guns arid two
pistols constructed on the patent and on the alleged
alteration merle by the Defendant. He then said,
" Take the injunction you now move for; bring
your action instanter in the King's Bench ; and
the moment the Defendant has pleaded, let me
know, as I then shall speak to the Lord Chief Jut.
tice to have your trial on as soon as possible, in an-
ticipation of September. I know a little of shoot.
ing myself, and should be sorry to rob an holiest
sportsman of his pleasure."
Ilis Lordship, to the great amusement of a
crowded Court, tried each of the guns separately,
expressing an earnest hope that they were not
loaded.

CROWN COURT.

The only cases worth mentioning in this Court
to-day were the following :
Joh* Merrington and Josep3/4 Merriagtoss were
capitally indicted for a burglary in the dwelling•
houe of the Rev. W. E. Fitzthomas, at West Til-
bury, in the night of the 16th of June, and
sleeting therein plate and other articles to wore than
the value of 1001.

It appeared that the Prosecutor's house was en-
tered on the night in question, by means of sawing
away the inside shutter of a parlour window, and the
property mentioned in the indictment was carried
off: The proof of the Prisoners' guilt was brought
home by a long train of circumstantial evidence,
it appearing that when their houses, situated in
Red Cow-lane, Mile End-lane, were searched, some
trifling articles taken from the Prosecutor's house
ware there found amid identified by the latter.

Witnesses were called by the Prisoners to charac-
ter, but the Jury found them Guilty—DMA.
The Learned JUROR, iu passing sentence, gave
them no hopes of mercy.
James Tack, the person who was tried and ac-
quitted two years ago at the Old Bailey, for the
murder of a man at Enfield. by throwing him into
a well at the back of the public-house occupied by
the Prisoner, was indicted for stealing a cheat of
orange' from a waggon. in the parish of Epping,
on the 21d of April last.
There were some circumstances of doubt in the
case, and the Jury found the Prisoner—A of Guilty.
Maria Peacock, a girl about 40 year. of age, was
capitally convicted of a burglary in the dwelling-
house of John Waterman, in the parish of Hatfield
Broadoak. on the 16th of May, in the daytime, uo
person being therein.
This being the second time the Prisoner was con-
victed of the like t fence, the Learned Judge. in
passing sentence of death, held out but small hopes
of mercy.
Mr. Justice PARS fined a javelin-man in the
suni cf 31. foe presuming to take siaproce for the
admission of *spectator into the Court, and, after
being in custody for the whole day. the Learned
Judge kindly contented to remit the tine. upon die
olfendei'a expressing its contrition, and lie was dis-
charged alter a ►uitable admonition.

The Magistrates of the county of Backs are
about to cause a new prison, fur the reception of
debtors, to be erected at A)lesboory.
