DUBLIN, FEB. 22.—Lord REDESDALE yesterday
intimated in the Court of chancery, that he would.
bencetorth.only hear such causes as 'have beenin
part discussed before him, and such motions as'were.
of a peremptory nature, as his continuance in office
could not be of long duration.
A very numerous• Audience attended the repre-
sentation of Macbeth last night at Covent-garden
Theatre. KEMBLE is by no means sufficiently recO-,
vered to do justice to his conceptions •in the 'part of
Macbeth : he evidently reserved himself for- the-con-
cluding scenes; in which he displayed great spirit ;
but the exertion was rather too much for the present
state of his health. Mrs. StnnoNs gave the fuli
force of her talents to the daring and subtle heroine
of the Piece;

Master BETTY performed • Dozigla last nii2;lll- :it
Drury-lane Theatre. Mrs. POWELL was too much
indisposed to perform Lady Raildolpf!, and. an. apo-
logY was made for Mrs. ANsELL's appearance in that
charmer. •

A new Opera was to be represented in the Dublin
Theatre.on Saturday last under the title of The Five
Lovers. If these Five . Lovers should have but' one
Mistress, it is natural to. suppose that they must, be
at sixes and sevens.

Yesterday the price of Bread was ordered to tbe
reduced half an Assize, which wilt reduce the ,price
of the Quartern Loaf to Eleven-pence' Three
Farthings.

On Saturday se'nnight as a young gentlethan, son
of Alt• Piper, of Hai.ykhurst, was incautiously running
along the Banks of the River Medway at Tunbridge,
'which had been rendered very slippery by recent
rains, he suddenly lost his footing, and was instantly
precipitated into very deep water. When the-body-
was found, which unfortunately was not till about
forty minutes after, it was immediately conveyed to
the nearest inn, where the means of recovery re-
commended by the Humane Society were resorted
to, and perseVered in for a long time., but unfortu-
uately without sqcc#ss...
