THE THEATRES.

KING'S THEATRE.-The Royal Pair from the
Sandwich Islands were present last night at this
Theatre. The Opera was Tancredi. They
were received by an audience, which filled the
House, with every demonstration of respect,
which they courteously returned. We are glad
to see these extraordinary,visitors treated in so
respectful a manner, because they are not only
deserving attention from their local rank, but
prospectively as belonging to a region that, in
the progress of manners, may confidently be ex-
pected to enjoy all the advantages of civi-
lized life, and to become an important com-
mercial Ally to this country.—They could
not be expected to pay much attention
to the Opera, with all its musical charms,
but the dances, which were executed with ad-
mirable grace, skill, and activity, appeared to
afford them particular pleasure. Many persons
of high rank were present, who all joined in
cheering the interesting strangers, as they have
been properly designated.
DRURY-LeNr.— The Hypocrite, and The Liar,
as represented on Monday for the benefit of the
Lessee, with the assistance of CATALAN", were
repeated last night, and again attended by a nume-
rous audience. The Free-tickets wereagain refus-
ed admission, a circumstance not only offensive,
but impolitic, as there was room enough on both
nights for those who presented them. This is
ungracious treatment to those to whom the pd-
vilege of admission is extended, and indeed sur-
prizing, considering the liberal character gene-
rally attributed to the present Manager.
ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.-This convenient and
elegant Theatre was opened last night for the
benefit of a young Lady, named CounTENAv,
who assumed the difficult character of Lady
Macbeth, and Lady Racket in Three Weeks after
Marriage. We shall not officiate as rigid critic'
upon an occasion that calls for lenity, but content
ourselves with saying, that in the terrific part in
the play, and the comic one of the farce, she dis-
played talents that promised much in her favour.

CO UllT OF KING'S'BENCH.-(Tiir. DAY.)

THE RING W. SPENCER.

Mr. SCAItLETT stated, that this was an•indict-
ment for perjury against the defendant, assigned
upon his answer to a bill in Chancery, filed by a
person of the name of Edwards against him to
compel the' execution of an agreement to grant
a right of way over a piece of ground to two
houses, which the defendant intended to build
under Edwards; as' ground landlord. The
assignment of perjury was' swearing that certain
words struck out of the agreement in question
were struck out, not before but after the execu-
tion of the instrument.

Mr. GURNEY took. an objection to a variance
between "the record and the answer sworn by de-
fendant, namely, the distinclion between house
and houses adjoining. This objection was held
by the Lord Chief Justice to be fatal to the in-
dictment.—Verdict, Not Guilty.

OLD BAILEY—(Ttras DAY.)
CARLILE'S BLASPHEMOUS PUBLICATIONS.-
Rickard Hassell and Michael Connor were this day tried for a
similar offence to that for which William Campion was yester-
day convicted, for which see TUE SUN of yesterday. The
result was, that they were both convicted. :Mr. FnEwen, the
Barrister, appeared as Counsel for them, and avowed that-he
did so from a sense that religious persecution ought not-to exist
in .this country.
