disagreeable situstion by it. Some in the andience
repressed their dislike. not of she siogrr. for he was
universally applauded after the first 'swore. hut of
Hering • piece sowed known song three timer over.
The consequence was, that between the conflict of
eppleeses and dissent, Mr. Hoax was most imper-
fectly heard on the s-cond repetition. Another
matter of enimlsiut which Mr. Hot* Intaself is
answerable for was, that he did nos wog one of the
songs belonging to the piece, though it must be
owned that he substituted them with very seteeable
compositions. This. however, is a fault. and owe
which has the poorest excuse iensginabk. homelY,
the evident anxiety to vie with Mr. Baashim,
in other words, to be plagiarist even. to the. blemishes
of that mister of song. This is worse taste in Mr.
Hoax than in any other singer. He is almost the
only vocalist who loss altarined eminence by scieritific
composition. lime can he condescend to put by
the writings of Minor end introduce music‘ which
is sheen to the piece, because is singer. who must be
his inferior in that peculiar attribute of the
juilgineut, has done so before him? it would
appear a more worthy droners of ernfotiots to
be correct and obedient to the discipline of the
piece, to be inxiOes to aid the designs of the author
sod composer, and to be emulous of avoiding the
erratic example of a singer superior to himself only
in execution. Be it as it may, however, Mr: Hots
gave great delight to his auditors in general. " Laos's
Young Dyson" and soother composition from the
"Irish Melodies," were very loudly and deservedly
encored. Mr. Hots will be e valuable scipsisitiort to
the company. Ilia natural voice is not sufficiently
deep and powerful in the lower scale, but his scope is
effective to the top, nod more singular still. it is most
powerful in the higher notes. This gives hint a
pleasurable facility of execution, especially in
discarding intervals, which generally excite some
anxiety for the success of the singer. His taste
is considerably enhanced since we last had the
pleasure of hearing him. His graces are much
sweeter, more numerous. and snore intimately
blended with the comporitioo. Miss POVEY played
Lacy Bertram in a very interesting manner. The
favourite air of "/rest thee, babe," is exactly suited
to the simplicity of her style, and it was accord-
ingly encored with acclamations. We could wish
her, however, to give more continuity to her expres-
sion. both of the words and music. Her tones are
uncommonly brilliant, but they stand too distinct,
like the stars in the greater constellations, the
connecting figures of which are supplied by
the most arbitrary assumptions of fancy. Mine
CUBITS performed Jslia Mannering very credit•
ably, but she sang scarcely any of the music of
the piece. Mr. BARNARD made • very relowctable

lies, little can be slid more than is known. As she
was more perfect in this representation than any
lady who has attempted the part, so she seems to,
have made it still snore iuttenately her own. She
has softened and refined many of the reading., from
which the whole character obtains a more familiar
semblance. and • far more interesting effect. The
other parts were well sustained, and the piece went
off with complete success.
The burlesque opera of Midas succeeded. The
characters were cast as before, with the exception
of Apollo, which was sustained by Mr. T. COOKS
in a manner entitling this active and meritorious

performer to new commendations and distinction.

.of receiving sentence.
The Court proceeded to take causes on the
Crown paper.
Tile ZING V. THE TOWNSHIP OP HATIPIECH.
This was it qrsesticiii whether the .township of
Hatfield, in Yorkshire, Ivat bound to keep in re-
pair a public mied, or whether the owners of land
near the road were liable to make the said ripairs
It appeared that the land through which the road
roue, comprising about 6,000 acres. was, in the
reign of Charles the Second. overflowed, mod it he-
came necessary to drain it. A contract was made
between the Crown and various individuals, in con-
sequence of which they were to have one third of all
the laud so drained. Upon the soil thrown op from
the drain a road was made. The Defendants en.
dravoured to sliew it was a pre-existing toad. and
that the participants in the belie& drrived from the
rant of the Crown had been liable for the repairs.
The question was tliie day argued; and the Court
were of opinion that the township had made out 1.0
case of exemptiou, and that they were liable io
make the repairs.
