THE4TREt
On Saturday night the -opera of • elfrantierzes wile!
repeated, and Miss WILSON made her re-appeir-
mice in Mendatie. Her indisposition has detrsetal
nothing from her appearance, but it seemed to
'have controlled for • while the extreordiciery power
of voice which she at other tunes hes proved her-
self is pqsaray. She sang•with undiminished effect,
far whatever weakness her ill-health imposed on
her, her good taste.and high cultivation eileb!e(l to
elude its influence on her performance. The
audience, though they testified. their extreme de.
light by as loud manifestations as ever, forbore, ap-
rarently from consideration, of her temporary
deb.lity, to call for any repetition except that of
" %he Soldier hied," which was loudly encored twice.
But the same humane feeling that prevent('
before, prevented the stemill repetition of this
urinous soog. Miss AVILIMN ',sent through it
both times in great style, and it was upon
the whole the moat finished of her perform-
ances for the evening. - Mr. BEAUS 'S. sang se
well as ever. The chaste, fanciful, and highly poe-
tic feeling with which he executes the excellent
music of this opera does him the highest credit,
and has silenced the objections made by his most
querulous and hypercritical judges ; fur though
rich beyond compare in the accomplishments rod
graces, even the must fantastic of his art, he sub-
jects his imagmatiou in this amen' to the domina-
tion of the composer's groins, and the rigid direc-
tion of his own masterly judgment. Mr. HORN re-
ceived the accustomed encore in his second song,
which he certainly 'nags with much spirit. Ma-
dame VESTRIS has insured to herself the trouble of
singiog twice over " In Infinity," as often at she
has to sing it st all. The encore for the qtrortert was
longer and louder then ever, for the theatre has
not brew so crowded ever since Miss WIT..
son's first night. Miss Po, EY was encored
in her song. Every part of the house was
filled before the curtain, and numerous were the
faces looking rueful disappointment, sod whisper-
ing proposals of sinister advantage to the bee-
keepers, on condition, of course, of doing that
which was literally impossible, helping the parties
to places in en overflowing house. Having a very
inconvenient situation ourselves, it was rendered •
little more toletable by seeing some Members of
the House of Commons, who hail come later, stand-
ing up in the back seat of the side boxes, being the
only tenable positions then left in house.
ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.
The performances at this theatre boast the double
attraction of novelty sod variety. The Owibree
Chinoises are peculiarly adapted to the juvenile part
of the audience, which have for the last month
mustered SO strong at every place of theatrical
i entertainment. Some of Mr. J. KNlGUT'Simitationa
are excellent. Mr. BROADHURST'S swigs excite

much applause.
ADELPHI.
This theatre is crowded nightly. It prevents •
great variety of ansusemente, highly attractive from
their intrinsic merits and the talents of the per-
former..
OLYMPIC.
This Theatre still continues its prosperous ca-
reer. Two new pieces were brought out last week,
and each possessing considerable merit. That dis-
tinguished comedian, Mr. OXIIHNICY, has added
fresh reputation in his well-known talents in the
character of a sailor, wherein he exhibited an ex-
traordinary degree of feeling and pathos. Messrs.
G. SMITH, SALTED, HOWARD, and VALE, itt the
burlesque tragedy of The Tailors, discovered a
new win of comic humour, and kept the house iii
r constant roar of laughter. Among the recent
visitors (a( distinction were—
Doke of Argyll and party, Count and Countess Ledolf
and party, Marquis of Worcester and party, Earl sad Conn-
ten Bathurst sad party, Lord Bentinek and party, Lord
Mosley and party, Hon. Mr. Montagu and party, Captain
Griffiths sad party. Gaps. Whaley and party, Captain Cham-
bers and party, Mr. aria Mrs. Tyson and party, General
Howarth and party, Mr. red M rs.Surtees and family, &c. &c.

WEST LONDON.
The lovers of fun and laughter hive been attract-
ed within the lost few nights to witness the exhi-
bition of a new piece got up at this little thsitre,
Don Giovanni in Ireland. This celebrated person,
who seems as highly gifted with the charms of
übiquity as the powers of fa►cination, has, in com-
pany with his faithful follower, Leporello, after
visitiug almost every corner of England, at length
arrived in Ireland. He seems, however, to have
made a very slight impressiOn on the fair daughters
of Erin. Of the abstract merits of this entertain-
ment it is hard to speak with critical accuracy.
There are several of the moat, beautiful of the Irish
Melodies inirminced, am) it is interspersed with
veveral national characteristics, not, perhaps, cal-
culated to convey the moat favourable or faithful
idea of that beautiful, hut neglected part of the
British empire. It concludes with brilliant fire-
woiks, which produce a most pleasing edict.

The opera of Dua John, partly founded on
131.SVPIONT and Fuirrctiaß's play of The chances,
hut chiefly in Got.notit's opera of that name,
will he produced at Covent-gareltii as soon as Miss

CRIMINAL INFORMATION FOR A LIBEL.
Mr. SCARLETT moved for a rule to sliest cause why
mind information should not hr Sled agarsiat
Miss Weaver, the printer, and John Arrowstnith and Thomas
Shockell, die proprietors of a new bunday Newspaper, called
John Bull," fur publishing in No. 5 of that paper, •
wicked, scandalous, and defamatory libel, on t►e memory of
Lady Caroline Wrotteslry, deceased, imputing to her that.
during her life.time,Mie bad been detected in • criminal in.
trigne with one of her menial servants. The Learned CUOIII.
sel founded ►is motion no the affidavit. of the Earl and
Countess of Tankerville, father and mother of Lady Ca►o.
hue; of Sir J. Wruttesley, her husband; of Lord Ossulatom ;
and the lion. Henry Grcy Bennett, two of her brothers.
The suhstance ul' these affidavits wits, that Lady Caruli•e
Wroliesley, was born in 1770, and in 1795 was married to
Sir John Wrottesley, by whom site bad fourteen children;
five daughters and tire sons of whom now survived ; that in
ISIS, she died in child.birth in the arms of her aficted
husband; that she was followed to the grave in agonies
of grief by her husband, mu/ some of her childrra
sod relatives ; that she was a lady, from her infancy to
the hour of her death, of ursullird virtue, parity sad
honour, aul that there was the slightest linputation
upon her eharacter, instil one of the grossest and
most unfounded calumnies that ever issued fro•s a
p tea and slanderous press, appeared in a tiewspapea
celled " John Bull," of which the pereoum against
whom he 'moved, were the printer and proprietoes. The'
atrocious libel complained of, was ander Hie bend of
" Querat's Visitors," and was in the following winder..
" Countries of Taokereille, Lady Mary Bennett, Itlns.
111 G. Bennett, nod Lady Ossuldian (a foreigner), conk, not
refuse the solicitations of the nieu of the faintly : Lady Ca-
roline Wrutiesley (Lady Trinket vale's daughter, and Lady
Mary's sister) having been detected in a criumival intrigue
with her mental t."
The Learned Counsel said, he had affidavits to .hew that
upwards of 4,000 copies of this infamous libel had been cir-
culated—that it had been industriously distributed at Wal-
tun.ripoo.l'hamea, where the Countess ufTankerville lived;
on the North road, where the Noble E•ri's sett was, and
near the seat of Sir John nrottesley in Staffordshire ; aid•
that application had been made to the publisher of the
paper to give up the author, but he refused. Ile said, he
need not cite authorities to satisfy the Court that a libel on
the deceased was eriminatty puuishable in like manner as on
the living, fur both in early and modern times there were
cases upon the subject.
The Cline JUSTICC—" There is no doubt that the pub.
lication of slanderous matter 4.1 a person dead, may he the
subject of a criminal prosecution, where the slander is inju.
rictus to the survivors. Take a rule to chew came."
Lord °daubing' and the Hun. H. G. Bennett were in Court
during the motion.

RULE FOR A LIBEL UPON FrEr. MAJESTY.
Mr. BROUGHAM applied to the Court for a role to AAR
raise why a criminal informarinit should nut be filed against
the Rev. R. Rlscow, M.A. Ile nude this motion upon
the affidavit of A. Miller, of Liverpool, who swears that, On
the 27th of January last, he bought, at the shop of a book-
seller ill that town, a pamphlet, the title of which was as
follows :—" The Substance of a Discourse preach:A at the
Church of St. Mark, Liverpool, by the lit v. R. Blacow, M.A.
ea *miry/ evening, the 26th of November last, upon the
Present Aspect of the Time., with Additional Roles, and
an Appendix, bearing upon the Radical Glitiation." The
afdavit further states, that the deponent on the same day
produced the said pamphlet to the said R. Blacuw, M.A.,
who admitted that Ire was the author of it, and that be
preached it.
Mr. Justice BAIMItY--" That he preached it : but did he
admit that he published it
Mr. 014nUCIIIAM—" My Lord, he admitted this—that he
was the author uf the sermon as stated and contained in the
said pamphlet."
Chief Justice ARsore-►" Well, go on."
Mr. listounnaas aikido Ebert would collect the iMpOrt
of the publieation froisi the extinct which he should read:—
" The Radical■ hive one feature about them, even more
hideous and di:eo:it ing than the Jacobins themselves. They

They have elevatod the Goddess of Lust on the pedestal of
