THE K-ING v. J. II AYNE, ESQ. AND OTHERS.—
This case is expected to come on for trial at the Devizes
Quarter Sessions, whi -will commence on Tuesday. It is
an indictment prefer-rat against Mr. Hayne, Whiteheaded
Bob, and other individuals, for an alleged assault. It appears
that while at Burderop Park, Mr. Rayne had some friends'
with him, and after dinner they retired to the billiard-room.--
This was about ten o'clock. Mr. H. then sent to the steward
for some more wine. The steward had retired to bed, and re-
fused to get up. Mr. H. desired that the keys of the cellars
might be sent to him. This was also refused; upon which Mr.
H., somewhat incensed, went to the steward's room to d mand
an explanation. An altercation followed, in which tie ser-
vant forgot the respect due to the master, and, as we have
been told, actually spit in Mr. H.'s face. The effect pro-
duced by such a disgusting assault was precisely what might •
'have been expected. The offender was well thrashed and
turned out of doors. At the ensuing Sessions he was on
the alert, and, with the help of some good advisers, preferred
a bill of indictment against Mr. Hayne, and every person who
was present at his chastisement—thereby, as he thinks, pre-
cluding the possibility of his statement, being contradicted.
Mr. Layne will, in all . probability, prefer a bill against his
steward at the County Sessions, and thus the two indictments
will be tried together, so that some chance will exist of elicit-
ing the whole truth.—(Morniug Paper.)
MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.----TileSe Sessions
coal-
menced this morning before J. F. CoNsT, Esq.
Chairman, and a full Bench of Magistrates. The
Court was occupied with some trifling eases. We
are happy to state that the Calendar is of a very
_ light description.

THEATRICAL

COVIIINT•GIEDEN.—The announced re-engage-
ment of Miss FOOTE at this Ttioatre excited so

much public attention that a vast crowd of per-
sons have besieged the box-office for several days,
in order to secure places. It has been found
thatNbOve..hail speculated up the getnko eager-
ness 'fo iviel3PSll the return &r Maii.,interesting
tress, and had disposed of the places which they
had taken at enormous prices. There had been
much discussion, we understand, among the Ma-
nagers as to the character in which she should
first appear. It was proposed that the part
should be Juliet, but it was shrewdly observed

by ono of the Managers that Juliet's lover was
gait/ ful : this remark led to other proposals, and
It was finally determ►ned that she should assume
the part of Ophelia.- Last night was fixed on for
her appearance. Every avenue of the theatre
was crowded at an early hour, insomuch that
that vigilant and active Magistrate, Sir IttcuAan
Btaxte, ordered a posse of constables to attend,
for the purpose of keeping the peace, and the
prevention of robbery. The theatre was almost
instantaneously filled as soon as the doors were
opened. All the scenes preceding the appearance
of Miss FooTa passed amidst such a bux of ex-
pectation, that little could be heard, and yet
there was no call for " Silence." At length she
came forward, handed by Luerles. The mo-
ment s.i►e appeared there was a universal rising
from the seats, and a burst of congratulatory ac-
clamation from all quarters, which was several
times repeated. The effect was strongly impres-
sive on Miss FooTe, who seemed rea►ly to sink
under the agitation of grateful emotio►►s. When
Luertes delivered the following speech, ho was
interrupted by a renewal of applause :

IFor Hamlet and the trijling of hisfavour
" Hold it a fashion, and a toy in blood ;
" A violet in the youth of primp nature,
" Forward, not permanent, sweat, not tastiv,
" The perfume and euppliance of a minute,
" No more."

Ophelia althwere•--.44- No more but :o!"—which is
a question in the text ; but Miss FOOTS con-
verted it into an interjection, as having expe-
rienced the melancholy fact. Similar emotions
arose on the part of the audience when ',aeries
proceeded to say--
'• Than weigh what loss your honour may sustain,
" If with too credent ear you list his songs."
When Polonias afterwards asked Ophelia what
Laertes had said to her, and she answered—
" He 'lath, my Lord, of late made many tenders
" Of his affection to me. _

Polonius. Do you believe these tenders, as you call them!
" Ophslia. I do not know, my Lord, what I should think.
" Polonius. Marry I'd teach you : think yourself a Baby ;
" That you have ta'en these tenders for hue pay,
Which are not sterling. Tender yourself more dearly."
It was observed that BLANCHARD, during this
dialogue, delivered his words with a peculiar
emphasis, looking round, as if to discover whether
any person seemed to be affected by them.—
.ophelia answers—
"ly Lord, he hatkirnportun'd me with love,
" In honourable fashion."
Polonitv. replies—.
" Ay, fashion you may call it; go to, go to.

" Do not believe his vows : for they are brokers,
" Not of that die which their Investments *hew,
" But mere implorators of unholy suits,
" Breathing like sanctified and pious bonds,
" The better to beguido. This is for aIL
Opitelia—
" And hath given countenance to hie speech with all the holy
vows of Heaven."

Polonius answers—
" Ay, :pings to catch woodcocks."
Here again the audience could not contronl their
feelings, but burst into clamours of applause. In
a following scene Polonius says—
" What, have you given him any hard words of late ?"
Ophelia—
No—l did repel his kttersl and dented his access to me."
The audience caught hold of the passage, and
renewed their shouts. The scene between
Ophelia and Hamlet excited particular attention,
and it was observed that Mr. C. KEMBLE treated
her with a kind of tender sympathy, rather than
with the rough levity which the Poet intended.
When he said—
" I did love you once,
And she answered—
" Indeed, my Lord, you made me believe so,
The female part of the audience seemed to ho
particularly affected, and more so when he added
‘..• I loved you not,"
And she said, with a sigh,
•
" I Was the more deceived."
When left by Hamlet, Ophrlia says—
" I, of Ladies most deject and wretched,
"'That suck'd the honey of his music vows."
And afterwards—

0, woe is me

" To have seen what I have seen, see what I see 1"

Female sympathy was again strikingly apparent.
Nothing particular occurred afterwards, 'till the
scene in which Ophelia appears in a state of in.
sanity, in which Miss FooTE's acting was deeply
affecting, especially in a part of one of her songs,
in which she says—
" Then up he rose, and donn'd his cloaths,
" And oupp'd 'the chamber door,
" Let in the maid, that out a maid
" Never departed more."
Her feelings seemed to be so strongly agitated
at this passage that she had hardly strength to
go through the scene. Again, in the passage—
" Quoth she before you humbled me,
and, " You proniis'd me to wed,"
his answer, continued—
`stsPt'sh'owould I ha' done, by yonder sun,
" And thou hadst not come to my bed."
Here again the Ladies testified a tender interest.
here was nothing in the last scene in which
Ophclia appeared that calls for particular notice,
hut it seemed to be generally observed that Miss
FooTE rendered it more interesting and pathetic
titan was remembered on any former occasion.

Upon the whole the Public never witnessed a
more affecting representation, and the reception
which Miss FooTE experienced, during the whole
of her performance, was highly honourable to the
feelings of the audience, and to the British cha-
racter in general.

C2IRISTCHUItcIi.—Oit Saturday (New Year's
Day) the Earl of MALMESIIIIRY, accompanied by his son,
Viscount Fitzharris, and attended by three domestic servants,
and two horses, attempted to cross in a large boat, constructed
for the purpose, a wide part of the river Stour, near his Lord-
ship's mansion, at Heron Court, when, either from some mis-
management, or from a sudden motion of the horses, the boat
upset, and precipitated the whole into the river, the waters of
which, from the late incessant rain, were very deep and im-
petuous. By dint of great exertions no life was lost, and their
Lordships have since felt no inconvenience from the accident.—
( Hampshire Chronicle.)
