Last night was perOrrned at this theatie, fur the first time,
a inclodrame, called 71,e attager's Daughter; or, the Mur-

rather hotly spiced . with inciOents, and which appears to be
more particularly. .acceptable during the season of pantomime,

piece by the zpplause it oldaintd, we should sat t was as snc-

occasionally they are somewhat more successful than they-cle.

COMMON PLEAB.—(iliin DAY.)

the Ceitrt etas occupied the greater part of this morning with a case
which pi4seiscd little publid interest, thti raii.t being a mere dry ques,
tion of law—whether, in an action for debt, two of the eonnts being for
Mork ai.d labour, and the third fur goods bargained and sod, the Ltird
Chia Parlng put it to the Jury if they thought the two first
counts could be maintained, (tie .11:1 finding for the plaintiff damage'
Is., the Com t could a:ter the post ea in regard to fakfftlon of costs, re-
Forditi,, a verdict for the d fondant on the first two counts, and lid the
ti'aitititrikt the Efl!fti) With It damages ?
The Ciitiar unanimously hat thM it having clearly been the inten-
tion of the Jitrji to &Clete that the plaintiffhad no right to any remune-
katioil rot work and labdtir, it was perfectly competent for the Court to
enter a verdict for the defendant off the two first Counts, and they
deCided accordingly.

tXeitEQUEII, COURT.—(T HIS DAY.)

(Beford Lord ABINGER.)
JON .$ V. LANE.

Mr. Simextxsow said the plaintiff in this ease was Edwin .1( nes,
the acceptor of a Bill of Exchange for 500!., Which was the &les t of
the suit; and the defendant, Richard Lane, the present bider of the
bill, and also the holder of a cognovit, which the plaintiff had given,
in respect of an action on that bill, to Messrs. Durant and Co., the
original holders of the bill of exchange. The object of the present
bill was to procure the delivery up of the Bill of Exchange and the
cognovit, and for an injunction in the mean time to restrain proce4l.l-
- on the cognovit, and also proceedings at law on the hill itself.

Mr. TEMPLE submitted that there was a defect in the bill fJr n' of
parties, Messrs. Durant and Co. not being before the Court.
His LoßnsiliP said that prima fade they appeared necessary parties,
and the bill must stand over to amend.

RIOT AND RUFFIANLY ASSAULT.—Jamey Harris, Thom is Collel,and
Frances Spicer were charged with creating a dreadful riot, and Harris
with having inflicted a severe wound with a half-gallon measure upc n
the head of a boy of eleven years of age.
Police Constable Exton, 11J B, stated that he was on duty in George.
street, Chelsea, about twelve o'clock last night, when he heard repeated
cries of murder, and, on going into a notorious place called Evans's-
buildings, he saw the whole of the defendants and others, to the amount
of a hundred, all engaged in a general fight. He endeavoured to se-
parate them; but the confusion was so great that his effirts were at that
time unavailing. During the time he was endeavouring to quiet the
parties, defendant Harris struck a boy of about eleven years of age upon
the head with a half-gallon pot. He gave the defandants, who were the
most riotous, into custody, and took the boy to St. George's Hospital.
The defendants all said they had been drinking ; and it appeared that
the father of the boy had been compensated for the injury done.
Mr. WHITE expressed his determination to suppress such scenes, and
ordered them all to find good bail for their appearance at the Sessions.

CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

MILLINGTON V. FOX.--JUDGMENT.
The Loan CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this case, the
arguments in which were concluded yesterday. The case came before
the Court upon the hearing of the cause. The bill was originally filed
by the plaintiffs, who are large manufacturers of iron in Sheffield, against
the defendants, who are extensive iron dealers at Newcastle, for the
purpose of obtaining the injunction of the Court to restrain the defen-
dants from using certain marks on the iron which they sold, which be-
longed to the plaintiffs. His Lordship said that the sole object he had
in view in deferring giving judgment yesterday, was for the purpose of
looking at the pleadings relative to the question of costs. Upon the ques-
tion of the title of thelplaintifik:to the marks used by the defendants, there
could be no doubt that the plaintiffs had the right to the assistance
of the Court to proteet that right, at the same time the present case
was one widely different from the case of a fraudulent use of the marks
by the defendants. His Lordship could see no reason whatever to lead
to the conclusion that the defendants were at all aware of the existence
of the plaintiffs as a Company for manufacturing steel, or that they
were violating their rights. There was no evidence whatever to their
having any fraudulent intention in the use of the name; but that did
not deprive the plaintiffs of their right which had been established to the
exclusive use of the name. Under these circumstances his Lordship
felt himself bound to decree the injunction to be perpetual ; but looking
at all the other circumstances of the case, looking at the letters that had
passed between the parties, his Lordship felt bound to make that decree
without costs on either side.

GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR

THE WEEK.

(From the Gardeners' Gazette.)

CUCUMBER/I.—SOW some for later beds.
MELONS may be sown in small pats, and placed in a brisk
heat.
Make up new beds for Cucumbers and Melons, that they
may settle and come to a proper heat by the time they are
wanted. The seed sown now will also do for the plants to be
put out in ridges under hand-glasses.
ASPARAGUS SEED may be sown in good open situations,
broad-cast, or in drills. Beds may also be formed with two-
year-old plants.
T,,,,nra.—Sow for a full crop, in ground which is light,
and free from large stones.
pgAs.—Earth up such as aro forward enough. Sow more
for succession crops.
CELERY.—Sow in a light, moderate hot-bed, or in pots, and
place in a cucumber-frame.
MINT should be placed in a stove or hot-bed, in pots, for a
supply, in case of hard frosts keeping the out-door beds too
backward.
Plantations may be made by parting roots.
TOMATOES, CAPSICUMS, &c. should be sown in a frame, to
get forward for planting out.
Early POTATOES may be planted in warm situations.
FRUIT TRIES ought by this time to be all pruned, nailed,
&c. Planting of Fruit Trees may he continued. Raspber-
ries should be thinned, pruned, and tied to stakes, without loss
of time.

AURICULAS, TULIPS, and DAHLIAS, as before.
RANUNCULUSES must be all planted without loss of time,
where it has not been done already. That the season has pre-
vented many from doing it at a proper time, is certain.
Attention in the houses as before, but especially take care
that all climbing plants are train,•d as fast as they grow if
they once get out of form, it is difficult to set them to rights
again.

FINE ARTS,

BATTLE OF ARBELA.
We yesterday attended a private view of one of the most
extraordinary works of art we ever witnessed. It is a
plastic representation of the Battle of Arbela, embossed 111
high relief out of a thin plate of copper, from Lebrun's
celebrated painting. This chef-d'ceuvre has, we understand,
been already exhibited to her Majesty, the Duke of Sussex,
and several other illustrious and eminent personages, by al
of whom it has been pronounced unrivalled. It will be
publicly exhibited at the Egyptian Hall on Tuesday, the
2d of April, when we are quite certain that it wil
prove the most attractive work of art of the day•
The embossed figures on the copper, which are re-
markable for their number and variety, are worked
up with the most extraordinary skill and precision
the anatomy is perfect, and the whole work teems
with spirit, expression and character. We examined
it closely, and found that it would bear the most micros-
copic scrutiny. Considering that the copper on which this
chej:d'auvre is worked, is only one inch thick, the extent to
which it recedes in some places, and is brought forward in
others, is truly wonderful. It is the production, we are in-
formed, of a German artist, who was for seven years busily
and uninterruptedly engaged on it, and whose readY
skill must have been not less remarkable than his
patience and perseverance ; for had he made but one false
step, committed but one inaccuracy, the copper would
have been spoiled ; the evil without remedy ; and be him-
self would have had to commence his arduous task all over
again. For life, variety, spirit, and that high, imaginative
character, with which the rarest genius alone can imbue its
glowing product ions, we consider this embossed work of
art as by far the finest thing of the sort we ever met with.

PORTRAITS OF THE QUEEN AND THE

DUCHESS OF KENT.

These paintings, -the original drawings for which were
yesterday opened for a private view, at which we were pre-
sent, were executed by Chalon at the express command of
her Majesty. They are full of ease and unstudied grace'
more especially the portrait of her Majesty, which, in
ad-
dition to the striking resemblance it bears to the fair
original, is painted in a style worthy of the courtly Law"
rence. The stone drawings from these paintings by
Lane, are, in their limited line, equally deserving of praise

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

KEEP V. ABBOTT.
The Bill in this case was filed for the specific performance of an
agreement, dated March, 1836, for the sale of a small piece of garden-
ground in Southwell, Nottingham, being (as the plaintiff contended),
thirteen yards in width, and eighteen yards in length, and in which was
standing a carriage-shed, pig.sty, manure place, and privy. The plain-
tiff, a member of a Dissenting congregation, by his Bill, stated
that the present Chapel at Southwell being much too small,
it was intended to build a larger Chapel, and for that purpose
he entered into the agreement with the defendant for the pur-
chase of the ground in question, it being in a central situation. The
dispute between the plaintiffand defendant was whether the ground on
which the carriage-shed, pig-sty, manure place, and privy stood, were
included in the agreement. The defendant, who was a livery-stable
keeper and beer-seller, stated by his answer that he never intended to
sell the grounds on which the buildings were erected, because be re-
quired them for the purposes of his business.
Mr: Cooper and Mr. Bethell appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Pem-
berton and Mr. Girdlestone for the defendant.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

CONSISTORY COURT, MARCH 23.
VIREO V. VIRGO.

The Learned JUDGE gave his decision in this case. It is a
suit for divorce on the grounds of adultery, promoted by Mrs.
Virgo against her husband. The facts of the case have been
already published. The Learned Judge had no hesitation in
pronouncing for a sentence of divorce, as prayed for.

coon v. COOD.
This is a suit for divorce on the grounds of adultery, pro-
moted by Captain Henry Cood against Jane, his wife. The
promoter of this suit was, in 1823, a Lieutenant in the Navy,
and the party proceeded against was the widow of the late car-
penter of the ship in which Mr. Cood was serving ; the
parties, it is alleged, were married, in the island of Barbadoes,
on the 11th of August, 1823, in a private dwelling-house, in
the parish of St. Michael's, in that island, the ceremony being
performed by Mr. Garnett, the rector of the parish. A copy
of the marriage registry is pleaded in supply of proof. The
parties cohabited together, and were recognised as man and
wife. Mr. Cood having been promoted to the rank of Cap-
tain, in October, 1828, left his wife at the house of Mrs.
Benet, of Portsmouth, and served abroad for two years, till
October, 1830. During his absence Mrs. Cood left her
lodgings at Portsmouth, and took up her residence in
Northumberland-street, in the Strand, where an adulterous
intercourse is pleaded to have taken place between her and
some person unknown.
The Learned JUDGE gave his decision—He was of opinion
that, as the adultery was not denied, if the marriage of the
parties were legally established, the abandonment of one suit
and the commencement of the other would not act as a bar to
the suit.

Upwards of thirty Insurance Offices having been broken up within
a few years, and nearly as many new ones having been projected
within the ast two or three years, it may be necessary to observe,
that all the substantial advantages promised by such new Offices
have been long realised under the plans and management of the
Provident Life Office.

IN PICCADILLY.

A RENTAL of 4501. A YEAR, LEASEHOLD, FOR 61
YEARS.
TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION,
BY MR. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the Auction Mart, on THURSDAY, April 12, at Twelve, by
direction of the Executors of Mr. John Finnie,
RENTAL of FOUR HUNDRED and
FIFTY POUNDS PER ANNUM, admirably secured,
and arising out of
TWO CAPITAL FIRST-RATE HOUSES,
with extensive Shops to each, situate,
Nos. 71 and 72, in PICCADILLY.
It will not be doubted that where publicity is a desirable feature,
nothing in London can exceed this situation. They are between
HATCHETT'S and the GLOUCESTER COFFEE-HOUSE.
Each, in their separate callings, has been long and successfully
established. Mr. Nicholls, the confectioner and first-rate cook,
carries all before him in this fashionable nei:hbourhood, and, since
he has renewed his lease, has added not a little to the splendour of
its outward appearance. Mr. Ashley, who has the adjoining
house, No. 72, may probably follow a good example. He has a
• iirstrate trade and connection as a grocer. Each of the residences
occupies a considerable space, with a depth calculated to afford un-
usual facility to business. Mr. Nicholls has (fortunately for him-
self) a lease for 21 years, at only 250/. a year. The lease of Mr.
Ashley's will expire in three years, when, in lieu of the present low
rent of 2001. a year, one approaching 300/. may be safely contem-
plated. The present low rental is
FOUR HUNDRED and FIFTY POUNDS A YEAR.
Tho estate is held for 62 years, at the original ground-rent of 1501.
file houses are of the best description, substantially erected, and in
excellent order.

Particulars may be had 21 days prior to sale, of Messrs. Poring
a►ad Minet, solicitors, Lawrence Pountncy-lane ; at the Auction
Mart ; and in Covent .garden.

WANTED an active, clever REPORTER for
a PROVINCIAL NEWSPAPER; one who has been
accustomed to write leading, political, and local paragraphs, would
be preferred.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

HATTON:GARDEN.
Yesterday, James Morris, a police constable of the K divi-
sion, No. 234, and Ellen Morris, his wife, were brought from
the station-house, charged before Mr. ROGERS, with having
stolen a silver watch, chain, and seals, the property of Mr.
Johnson, of Mile End-road.
Mr. ROGERS remanded both the prisoners until Friday
next, for the attendance of the prosecutor.
A black girl, ten years of age, was brought up by a police-
man of the G division, charged with being houseless and
destitute. The constable, on Saturday night last, found the
prisoner sitting on the step of a door in St. John-street,
Clerkenwell, surround,,d by a crowd of persons, and, being
nearly naked, and apparently starving, the greatest sympathy
was felt for her ; and witness took her to the station-house,
where she received some food.
Mr. ROGERS asked her where she came from?—She came
from New Tork a short time ago. Her father and mother
brought her to this country, and they both died in the neigh-
bourhood of Wapping, and she had ever since been wandering
about the streets.
Mr. ROGERS ordered that she should be taken to Clerken-
well workhouse, and attended to.

William Quaigh and Anne his wife, two persons from the
sister isle, were yesterday charged with a violent outrage. The

MARYLEBONE.

A tall stout man, with a particularly dirty face, and a nose
of considerable longitudinal dimensions, was placed at the
bar before Mr. SHUTT, charged by Mr. Cutmore, an eating-
house-keeper in the Hampstead-road, with having conducted
himself in a very riotous and abusive manner.
The prisoner, who gave his name ,Charley Law, is better
known by the appellation of the " Lmhy Dustman."
It appeared that- on the. previous night the prisoner who
was very drunk, entered the shop, and throwing himself on
one of the scats, called out as loud as the hiccups would per-
mit him for a plate of beef and the usual etceteras, which
were promptly supplied to him by the waiter, who being
aware of his customer's habit of sneaking tff without paying,
demanded cash on delivery, at which the dustman felt his
dignity greatly insulted, and refused to sup upon any other
terms than the usual credit, viz., until the meal was finished;
in order to prevent any disturbance, he was permitted to de-
molish his supper, which having done he was about to depart
in the same " ungentlemanly" way as before ;:but he was again
reminded of the &ht. when without further ceremony he said
" He'd be d—d if he'd pay a penny of it," and as be abused
Mr. Cutmore and his wife in a most infamous way, he tva
given in charge.
Mr. SHUTT (to the Dustman)—What have you to say for
yourself ?
Dustman—Vy, I says this here, yer Vorship. I aint none
of your " flying dustmen, but one of the riglar right sort,
which the ham and beef man knows. I've gat a hintenahun
to pay all I coves him, and he shan't lose not a blessed
mag, not by Charley Law, vot never cheats nobody votsom-
never. _

Mr. SHUTT—You had no r7ght to call for a meal if you
could not pay for it.
Dustman—Please ycr Vorship, I'd bin home for to change
my vaiitcut, and if any other gen'i'man had done the same, he
might hare bin vithout blunt for to pry vith as veil as m)self.
Complainant—He only comes to my house when be is drunk.
Dustman—Cos Ty, I ain't got no happetite 'cept at sick a
time, and that's all about it.

?dr. SHL'TT-WiII you settle for your supper, cr nit ?
Dustman—That I viii. Here Sarah (adlressing his wife)
hand us over a hob.

Sarah did as she was directed, and Mr. Cutmores demand
'vas satisfied. The dustman's " best and dearest friend" also
paid 55., the penalty for her lord and master's drunkenness.
Sarah and the " riglar" dustman then lift the office.

HATTON-GARDEN.

Yesterday Mary Moore and Jane Saunders were brought
before Mr. ROGERS, charged by James Bottomley, of No. 16,
Sion-terrace, Brunswick-square, with having stolen a gold
wedding-ring; under the following circumstances :
The prosecutor being sworn, stated that on Thursday night
last, between eight and nine o'clock, his wife was seized with
a fit of apoplexy, when, an alarm being made, the prisoners
and several of the neighbours entered the house for the pur-
pose of rendering assistance. Witness sent for a doctor, on
whose arrival he recommended leeches, but wished to know
whether they would be paid for. Tee prisoner Moore, who
bad hold of his wife's hand, said, " You need not be afraid of
the money ; here is a gold ring, which will be sufficient to pay
you," showing the ring to the doctor. The prisoners went for
the leeches, but on their return the woman was dead, and the
ring was missed off her finger. Several persons were in the
room, and a search was proposed, when the prisoner Saunders
refused to be searched except by a policeman, and one being
called in she was searched, but the ring was not found upon
her, and both prisoners were given into custody. Witness
made inquiries, and traced the prisoner Saunders to have
offered a ring for sale, at a jeweller's in Somers Town, which
answered the description of that stolen.
The prisoners denied the charge.
Mr. R.GERS said there was not sufficient evidence to detain
Moore, but he would remand Saunders, in order that the ring
might be traced.

" General Curando Gomez, the third in command of the
national army, reached town the night before last, accompanied
by a small escort. It is said about 600 men escaped, in Small
parties, and are now seeking their homes. As near as I can
learn, the Government-General was outwitted and led into an
ambuscade. The battle was fought on the other side of the
Rio Negro, the stronghold of I)on Frutus. The forces on
either side nr.,), have been 0,500 men—perhaps the national
army, 2.000 men. The general officers, in a council of two
days before the combat, &termined that Den Frutus should
not expose himself by entering the field. The command was
consequently given to General Lavalle, a Buenos Ayrean. At
