Boots Smoking.—By A. BRAuwER.

Subjects of this ordinary description have been
so often pirsented to the public from the pencils
of
.the' Dutch artists, that they have long since lost
the interest they were wont to excte. This picture,
like other representations of similar subjects, pre-
sents not only an astonishing freedom of pencil, but
• ro trues,' of execution which not often accom-
panies it. The expression of the figures is broad
and humorous, and the colouring strong and ap-
propriate. It is from the collection of the Duke
Of WELLINGTON.
The Interior of a Chamber, with a Lady at her
l'oilette.—By G. MlTzu.
_ . .

It is impossible to exceed the minute representa-
tion of the toilette in this picture ; the artist has
imitated the very texture of the silk, &c. It
would be in vain to deny praise to the patient and
laborious effort■ of the artist to give the striking
air of truth to his delineation of the most ordinary
piece of furniture and its decorations ; but the
great sacrifice of time required for this purpose is
ill repaid by success in such laborious trifles—they
are never gained in this manner but at the expense
of higher objects. This picture, which is one of
the hest by METZU, is from the collection of Mr.
WM. SMITH.

His own Portrait, in the character of Paris.
By VANDYKE.
_ _

There is little of poetical feeling in the compo-
sition of this picture, nor is the colouring by oily
means equal to his general manner: it waists the
breadth and grandeur of his best style. Perhaps
the talents of the artist sunk under his modesty
when applied to the representation of himself, and
in such a character too.

Sea Piece.—By VANDEVELDE.
This sea view is in the artist's best manner : the
colouring is extremely good, and the general edict
well managed.

Herr again, as in Myrzu, we have an infinity of

Mr. Waane has tubed—and arguing from liis

tion consequent on his first appearance in tom-
glois.....end in a character in which Mr. KEMBLE,
Mr. KEAN, Mr. TERRY, and other actors of NM-
nenee, have gained great honour—that mind is WO
common one. He played the part vigorously.
There was, at times, a little neglect in the un-
der-acting—but, perhaps, that may be accounted
for by the novelty of lois situatiou. Occasionally,
too, and indeed it struck us as being Mr. 11' A Roe's
chief error, there was a rapidity in his declamation,
which the occasion did not warrant. When Leon
is agouieed—when he is torn by paseion—when tie
finds a nobleman, who ought to protect him,
basely thinningl the meutie of his dishoisour
—when he prays that the husband's curse sit my
descend on the bead of him who attempts to invade
the litieband's honour —here indeed the words
liould be uttered with the force and swiftness
of the thunderbolt. But, in the remonstrative
parts of the character, violence, not strength, should
be laid aside. Expostulation should assume a stern,
but not an imphilosophical torte. In one or two scenes
Mr. W A RDE was too vehement. He is a young man,
mid gate too much scope to the fiery feelings of
tooth forgetting that Lt. 071, all.perfect in honour-
Ode ss utiment, as he is described to be, must,

mastery over his passions. In the earlier scenes of
the drama, those in which Leon ibersossibtea the fool,
we thought that he did not throw a sufficient portion
of simplicity into Ibis looks snot manner. It is clef-
ficult for a mats with a very ietelligent courstembocr,
mind with great sentences of mind, to do this—
but such lithe test of a great actor. We have now
mentioned what we conceive to be the errors its
Mr. W A arm'. performance. It is equally, per-
haps inore necessary, that we should touch out his
excellencies. There appears, in his performance,
generally, a vein of strong feeling, which. its it
seems to, flow from his heart, appeals forcibly to the

there was a modest firmness, a decent seistentious-

Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY stated, that this WWI a
motion on the behallof thePlaintift, for an injunc-
tion to restrain the Defendants from publishing
certain letters which were written to the Defendant
Pritchard by the Plaintiff, Juicier the following cir-
:umstances:—The Plaintiff w•is the relict of the
ate Mr. Wm. Gee, and the :Defendant Pritchard
was a clergyman, who in his youth had been adopt-
ed by Mr. Gee as his son, .he not having any chil-
dren, and was brought up in the family; and Mr.
Gee by his will divided his property equally be-
tween the Plaintiff mod his irdOpted son. During
the time lie was at school the Plaintif corresponded
with I on various ;objects, I particUlarly as to
his religions and nioral condstict ; and on account of
the Planitiffrefusing to consent to some rrqueit of
his, he bad threatened to publish the letters, which
could only tend to hurt Plaintiff's feelings. He
wrote her (the Plaintiff) • letter to that effect in
lay last, and she was confirmed that it was his in-
tention, by an advertisement which appeared in one
of the Daily Newspapers, of the 1411, of July, viz.
" la the press, sad shortly will be published, The Adopt-
ed Child fur Twenty Years; or, the History of a arreymau.
fly the nee. Pritchard. Pointed by Anderson."
Under those considerations, he had no doubt but
his Lordship would grant the injunction.
The Lotto Ca•Ncer.t.o•--“ Is there any in-
stance of such an applicatictu having been made to
.this Court ?"

Sir SAMUEL. ROMILLY—" Yes. my Lord, in the
case of Lord Chesterfield's letters to his sots ; the
only difference is, that iu that case the application
was made to restrain the representative of the son."
The LORD CHIANCELLOR—ss If you write letters
to me, Sir Samuel, and they get into the hinds of
a third person, this Court will tyrant an injunction
to restrain that third person. But what I want to
know is, whether there iv NO instance of an injunc.
tine bring granted where the letters were not out
of the possession of the person they were addressed
to ?"

Sir SAMUEL ROMILLy--", Certainly, for in the
case of Lord Chesterfield an injunction issued to
iestrain Mrs. Sunward, the mother of Mr. Stan-
Hard, the natural son of his Lordship, from pub-
lishing his letters."
The LORD CHARCSI.LoR—" That is all I wait-
ed to kno.t, Sir Samuel. Take your motion, and
let notice of it be served immediately on the De-
fendants."

Motion granted.
A MARRIAGE SETTLEMENT.

KITTY JENKINS, otherwise REDDING, a Minor, and

a Ward of Court, by her next friend, her
MOTHER. V. Major General SHARPE and OTHERS.
I'he SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved, that the
Master's report in this case might he confirmed.
He stated, that the Plaintiff, the infant, was en-
titled to a large estate by will, but the testator had
maile the provision fur her on condition that she
and her issue took the 'lame and bore the arms of
Redding. 'lire Defendant, Major-General Sharpe,
was also entitled to a large fortune in Scotland, but
it was covenanted by the testator, who bequeathed
isi:n the fortune, that he and his issue were to take
the name and bear the arms of Sharpe. He had
proposed for the Plaintiff in marriage. anal she hail
given her consent, and the Defendant had sent
vapors's for s marriage settlement to the Master,
setting forth that he was in possession of 5.500/.
per 000000 um real estate in Scotland, liable to the
proviso we have before mentioned, and that lie had
also 800/. per annum from the interest of his per-
Banal property, besides his pay as Major-General in
the army, but that he could not conform with the
terms of the testator's will leaving the property to
the Plaintiff, that of taking the trained Redding,
as lie would be liable to forfeit his own estates if lie
forsook the name of Sharpe ; and on his making an
application to his Royal Highness the Prance
Regent, he had granted that the Plaintiff should
hear the name of Redding after her marriage, and
the Master had reported that he thought this
license was sufficient to remove all the difficulties.
Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY, Counsel for the mother
of the infant, stated, that she had no (Objection to
the Master's Report, if the license granted by the
Prince Regent was sufficient to secu►e the estate to
the infant and her issue; for the estate was liable to
forfeiture if she and her issue did riot take the name
of Redding, and bear the arms. The estate of the
Defendant was in a similar situation—and the
question their was, how the issue of the marriage,
could bear the name of Sharpe and Redding, as
they could only take by bearing one name. The
Master certainly, in his Report, as it related to the
marriage settlement. had made u mistake, as it only
allowed the Plaintiff a jointure of •4001. a year by
the way of pin-money, out of her estate ; at the
same tame he gave the Defendant the whole estate,
although he was not to take the name of Redding.
lie (the Learned Counsel) merely submitted those
objections. not as objections of the mother to the
marriage, but as his own, standing as he dill us her
legal adviser.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—" Has it been usual
for the Crown to grant such a license ? There is
amerething on my mind that Serjearit Hill's lady had
such a license."
Sir SAMUEL ROMILLT—" No, my Lord, it was
an Act of Parliament."
