EARL 4AEY'S FMNARAL.

The remains of the late Earl Grey were cm-
veyed„ on Thursday, from Fallowden House,
Northumberland, for interment at Howie, where
they were deposited in the family ',Ault. The
lurseral was attended by the present Earl and
Countess, Mr. and Lady Elizabeth Whitbread, the
lion. and new. Mr. Grey. and the Hon. Commis-
skim- Grey. The late Earl was Aid-de-Camp to
Prince Fardinan4, at the battle of Minden. where be
wa wounded a liar foot. His Ldtdetifp's cliarities
were only limited by his means. His heart was un-
bounded, and no deserving objea ever sought re-
lief at Fallow& n House in vain. The same bene-
volent spirit which he carried with him into retire-
ment, was undoirnly displayed in his military
career, through the whole of which the comfort of
the private soldier was a peculiar object of his care

sequence of what had f.:llen trots his Lordslep on
'dormer day. to reier every point in dispute to ar-
bitration. Thopoints Mr. Waters specially aUuded
so were : First, Whether he, Mr. 'l'aylor, had
given such personal sttendaace, and had au (ally
devoted his attention to the affairs of the ooncern,
as by tie deed of 11103 he was required?
coed, It by that deed be bad a right to &
gate his authist;ty, as manager, to another third.
If Mr. D'Egville was a proper person so whom to
delegate that ceArge? Fourth, If be had a right to
engage performers, not only without his (Mr.
Waters's) concurrence, but erect (pottery to his ire
clinotion ? Fifth, if, in the same manner, he was en.
titled to dismiss Mr. Jewell from being Treasurer.
and Mr. Kelly from being Stage-Manager ; ard
whether they ought not to be restored? Goodell,

finally, notifying to him that he bed the permissi

man as the arbitrator on his (Mr. Waters's) part,
To this offer Mr. Taylor sent an answer, which
the Learned Counsel said the Plaintiff was at
a loss to comprehend; but he trusted his Lord-
ship would so far go oat of the general walk of his -
judicial charader, as to direathe parties, fortheir own _,
benefit, to enter into an arbitration, on suds teems as
should be likely to bring their differences to an issue.,
It was also a stiejeit of cor.siderable moment, not
only to the parties interested, but to all other per- ak
sons having claims on the Opera-House, that. pen&
ing the discussion of the various matters referred to •
arbitration, there should be some immediate ague-
meat for the opening of the Theatre at tbe usual -
period of the season. To meet this objeet, Mr.
Waters was ready to accede to the proposition of
having the Theatre open ender the same establish-
ment as it had at the close of the last season; that
is. that Mr. Taylor should continue, until the de-
cision of the proposed arbitration, in else Poll Andy:-
elites', powers of the Manager • and that Mrs
Jewell and Mr. Kelly be reinstated in their IOMPT
offices of Treasurer and Stage-Manager. Wei

say, that it was bis wish immediately ea cesium ere

equitable mode of adjutants, his duty to recaee

Mr. Haar briefly observed on the MOW 114111. • •
thought it directly imperative on the Defetteant ,
Counsel, to exp Lin his at present usinuiligi • '
sorer to the plain and explicit proeositions of Mt",
tens. Indeed it was to be consideral rather -
of a manifesto than a direct answer to Mat
posal or the Plaintiff. It was im. • • •
to argue upon that letter, until he •

Mr. Rica •RDS, for Mr. Taylor, said, the an at
Mr. W a seemed se utterly inadmissible, that the.
Defendant could eot possibly listen to it. His Lord,-

Toe question latowghe before his Lordship by the

which it appeared that the stale, emirs, and cache.

his Lordship was cal'ed on to do, by interlocu-

Hs did not, at the same time, mean to say, that be-

the natu-e of the property, it was almos impossible
for the King's Courts fully to understand. There-

clude, that the Marquis of kleAdtort was, upon such
a subject of investigation and settlement, a molt
more able and fit Chancellor than he could posse,: y
