SHIP CANAL.

We have previously mentioned the stupendous
plan for effecting a junction between the ENGLISH
and BRITISH CHANNELS, and it is so truly na-
tional an undertaking, that we-feel it to be an
act of patriotic duty to give it the full effect of our
humble support. The survey, we understand,
is proceeding with all due care, according to de-
tailed plans and estimates, formed by the late
Mr. RENNIE, one of the most able, if not -the
chief, Civil Engineer of his day, whose unquali-
fied recommendation of the measure justifies the
full conviction of those who are more immediately
engaged in promoting the undertaking that its
merit entitles it to the attention of all who take an
interest and feel pride in the prosperity of the em-
pire. It must be evident that there never was .a
period mere favourable for carrying into effect a
measure of such national importance as this pro-
jected grand work, and there cannot be the least
doubt that the Report upon the Sarvey by Mr.
TELFORD, under the instructions of, the psksent
subscribers, will prove equally encouraging. The
investment must be regarded as one of the most
advantageous to the capitalist, and to those who
look to permanent employment of funds, of all
the plans now before the Public. We before
expressed our surprise that this magnificent plan,
which promises so much for the commercial im-
portance of the country, was not thought of lopg
ago. In fact, it is a measure that ought to
lie
adopted, by. Government, if it were fair to take it
from the hands of the present liberal and pa-
triotic promoters, as it may be justly said of it,
in the words of the Poet--

"These are IstrERIAL WOUKS, and worthy Xmas."

COURT OF CHANCERY--(Tuts DAY.)

THE KING'S THEATRK.

EBERS V. RENEW.

rl This was an application for an injunction to
restrain the defendant, John Baptiste Benda,
front receiving any SLUM of money on account of
certain boxes situate in the King's Theatre or
Opera Rouse, for the season of 1823. The ma-
tint' Also went on to pray, that the Noblemen.
and Gentlemen composing the Board of Manage-
ment :night be also restrained from acting in any
manner contrary to the said deed. The sums said to
have been misapplied were 4,5091. due to the
plaintiff, 2,0881. to the tradesmen and various
sums amounting to 1050/.

The answer put in was, that there had been an
actual ►oss in 1823 of no less a sum than 9,0001.,
land that the defendant was induce! to make the
purchase by a misrepresentation. This, however,
was denied on the part of Mr. Ebers. It was
also urged, that as there was an actual loss at the
time .r 9,0001., the defendant was giving 10,0001.
for a mere contingency.
Mr. Sucinva intimated that there had been an
expenditure, in the last season, of 50,0001.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he knew not
what to do in the present case, but he wouJt
make such an order as would do justice to both
parties.
