IIAYMARK ET THEATRir.

This theatre opened. lest night. for the
.season,
with tile amusing comedy of he Poor (vodka's'',
ellicii was performed in • very surierior mainter.
Osi this occasion. Mn'. E. BLANCHARD. the second
daughter of Mr. BLANCHARD, the comedian, of
Coveirt-garden, made her first appearance. iii
interesting character of Emily Wortkingstoi. She
is a very young lady, gracefully formed, and pos-
sesses a handsome countenance. Her voice is
weak, but its tones are pleasing. She eUstaitted
the character of the sensitive with much
and was most favourably received. Mr.
J. RUSSILLL, whom we recollect to have serer.
some frw seasons since. at the English Opera,
appeared fur the first time on these boards, as
ullapod. Mr. Rus.u.i, is a clever. lively, bust-
ling performer. His style of acting is chaste,
rosy, and natural—mod his perfect knowledge of
the business of the stage gives him a consi-
derable superiority over the generality of per-
formers, whose exertions have been principally
confined to provincial theatres. His delineation of
the coxcomical apothecary was extremely ludicrous,
and, in some points, quite original. This Gentle.
in in will be found a very valuable adjunct to the
Haymarket company. These were the only novel-
ties of the evening. The other characters were
supported by long-establi-lied favourite, of the
politic. Mr. Triage' Sir Robert Bramble cannot be
exceeded for pure comic spirit. He seems to iden-
tify himself with the humorous peculiarities of Sir
Robert. to which. without any apparent effort. he
Imparts a degree of force mid vigour, that renders
them highly sur.osisig. Mr. Amu, as the volatile,
but noble-hearted Frederick, was as he ever is, all
buoyancy and spirit. It would be difficult to find
• more impressive representative of Lieutelsoot Wor-
thington then Mr. FROTH. In his performance
are united gentleness of manners, unaffected dig-
nity, and true feeling. The Liextenoist's advice to
his durighler was admirably delivered, and called
forth a general burst of applause. The parts of
Stephen tlorrowbg and Corporal Foss, were very
ably represeitted be Mr. Russvi.t. and Mr.
TOIELY. Lady Loettibi MAC 1 übb wits perform-
by Mrs. OATEN Purr in her most comic style.
The house was well 1611. d.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT,

JULY lb.

I. She cue of GEoaos Dooms°.

The Insolvent had been examined before the
Court on the Bth of May last, and remanded to
prison, it appearing fiotp his own answers that dur-
ing the interval between his committal and exami-
nation he had sold a horse and cart, the price of
which had lint been applied for the benefit of his
creditors. A rule of Court had since that been nh..
tined, to show cause why the Insolvent ohoold
not be further mutinied on the matters touching
his Petition, grounded on his affidavit, which
stated ;hat the answers which had induced the
Court ti; re-commit him, had proceeded from his
misunderstanding the questions by the exam' g
Counsel; and further, that in 1814. he had been
declared a Bankrupt. and that in February of
that year. the horse and cart in question had been
disposed of by Mr. White. his assignee. to Joists
Jones, his (Insolvent's) brother-inidavr; and that
his house and fixtures had been purchased of the
assignee by E. Jones. another brother.iii-law, for
his own use. and tint for the use of the Insolvent.
not bring his property since, any further than that
he was in passeseion of them for Jones, and that
since the above time, he had not acquired any pro-
perty to satisfy the demands of his creditors.
Mr. BARRY. on the I►ant or the opposi►►g credi•
tors, showed cause against the rule. Ile produced
the affidavit of the latter, who swore that the horse
and cart stated by the I►tsolvesit to have bee's wild
in 1814, wete not the saute with those alleged to
have been since said—that the Insolvent had been
the owner of many homes sod carts since 1814—
that he had. after his bankruptcy. retaken lois for-
mer premises at a resit of 601. a year, and carried
°is the business of a baker there to the amount of
200/. a week.

Mr. POLLOCK, on the part of the Insolvent.
stated from his affidavit. that the house, fixtures,
and all the p►operty. of whatever description. in
the use of the Insolvent. belonged to E. Jones,
for whom the Insolvent. since his bilokruptcy, had
merely conducted the business ; that the debt or
the opposing creditor amou►ued hut to 5001. and
that he had, in the course of hi. business. received
14,0001. from the liosolvent. _

Rule made ah.olute. on condition that the op.
posing creditor he paid his coats ; and the two
Jone.'• produced to be examined.

Mr. ItsstsaT muvrd fora rule to skew cause why
Edward hlrinney, an Insolvent, of Liverpool. who
bad bees) remanded by the Court there, should not
be re-examined. The affidavit of the opposing
creditor. the ginund uf his re-en ttttt Una!, said, that
he *as not rsmiled to a discharge from VI/ hill err-
ditnrs. us he had Leen ttitity of gross injustice
towards Jilt 'creditors.

Rule granted.
Mr. Puttocu obtained a ►ble to chew cause
why Joseph Coke, an Insolvent, who had been dis-
clkirgrd from the Sessions Court at Lancaster,
should not undergo • further examination.
The opposing creditors had brought witnesses
from the distance of sixty miles to 1.4911M4tr ; hut
