EFROSI TIIE LONDON. GAZETTE OF SATURDAY.]
Whitehall, Jan. 28.
King has been pleased to direct letters patent to be
V.sed under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom of Great
."I.ltain and Ireland, for granting the dignity of a Baron of the
said United Kingdom to the Right Honourable Sir Robert
Gifford, knight, 'Chief Justice of his Majesty's Court of Com-
mon Pleas, and the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten,

in the county, of Devon.

KING's
I assembled very early on Saturday, and the pit
THEATRE.—A very numerous audience
was crowded very soon after the opening of the
doors. We were sorry to see several elegant
females standing on the sides, and at the back of
thus to witness ane
the pit, with hardly a chance for a place, and
%i• that c 4 the age of chivalry"
is no more, he Opera of Zelmira was repeated.
lVtilenßoe. RossiNs appeared at the pianoforte, he re-
ceived a cheering shout from the pit, and it was
renewed after the Divertisement, when he re-
sumed his post. Madame CoLERAY, his wife,
as her timidity subsides, displays
more advantage. Her voice seemed to be more!
powerful on Saturday, her talents to
and her acting was
marked by grace and expression, evidently the
result of feeling. Her
figure and manner are
commanding, and her fine
dark eyes make her ac-
tion more expressive.
exerted himself
with great effect. PLACci has seldom acted with
more truth of character than in the venerable
part which he sustains in this Opera. We are of
opinion that Madame VEsTitis appears to much
greater advantage in the English Theatre than
on the Italian Stage
through her ; but, however, she gets
part tolerably well. The dances
went off well, and the whole ended without in-
fringing on Episcopal Regulations.

WILLIAM GIFFORD,
ESQ.—The hoax practised
upon this Gentleman, importing
that he was in a
state of alarming illness, seems to have been the
result of wanton malignity. It was not, however,
unattended with a good effect, as the very nu-
merous inquiries at his house, in the course of
Saturday, manifested the high estimation in which
lie is held for learning, talents, and personal
worth, by most of the distinguished characters
now in town.

M. LANGLEI, the celebrated French Oriental
scholar, died last week at Paris.

MADAME Fonoa.—The Peteranirgh Gazette
of the 9th January announces that the Emperor
ALExANDEP., being desirous of establishing an
Italian Opera iu his capital, has offered Madame
MitNviEwt-Fonon, an eu;„lagetnent of 60,000
roubles, and five benefit nights. This celebrated
singer is now at Naples, where her engagement
closes on the Ist of April.
The IRON TRADE ill ST iFFORDSHIRE is brisker
than has been known for years, and the demand
being so great, a rise of price took place at last
quarterly meeting ; the milers are more busy
than the oldest manufacturer can recollect, and
pence, plenty, and content, has entirely driven
grumbling out of the field ; there is nothing to
grumble about,and the quidnuncs are all aground.
Du EL.—Early on Saturday morning a meeting
took place near the Regent's Park, between B. M., Esq., and
Captain P., of the Navy, attended by their seconds, when Mr.
M. received his antagonist's ball a little above the left knee, but
it did not lodge. The parties left the ground on friendly terms.
DUEL PREVENTED.—Captain F—w—er and
Mr. W-1-3, a gentleman of fortune, met at Thaxted Green,.
Middlesex, on Saturday morning, at day-break, to decide a
dispute ; but, after the measurement of the ground, two offi-
cers appeared, and they were suffered to depart, on their hon-
our to find sureties to keep the peace, which were entered into.
THE. SP! RIT or Tlii. J OURNA LS.—This enter-
taining volume has met a most unprecedented
sale, from its combining in one work the whim,
wit, and variety of all the papers for the last
three years, perfectly free from all political bias.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

Though a dies non, the LORD CMANCELLOit came to Court
at ten o'clock. After some conversation relative to whether the
case of Ex-parte Grimstead, or that of Lord Somers should
first be heard, the Lord Chancellor said he bad come to an
opinion as to the order he should make in it, but as he might
probably be called upon to give his reasons for that opinion, he
should reserve giving it until :lir. Hunt was in Court.

GOUILLAY ✓. THE DUKE OF SOMERSET.
His LORDSHIP complained that he had received an anony-
mous letter relative to this case, in which he was actually
charged with having delayed the judgment. He deprecated
the sending of anonymous letters at any time, but here the
charge was grossly false ; for not only had he devoted his time
both in and out of term to it, but had actually given his opi-
nion so far, within six hours of the first moment that he could
do so.
The case of Grinstead was then gone on with.

RECOVERY OF MISS EMILY WHITE.
Bo w-STit arr.—(Tuts DA y.)—We have the
pleasure of stating that this interesting young female was dis-
covered at No. 34, Villiers-street, on Saturday- last, by Mr.
Piper, jun., of the Strand, by mere accident. He had occasion
to go to the house where he saw her, and gave instant inforana-
tion of the circumstance. By whom she was placed there did
not appear, but a private inquiry into the case was held at the
above offic.; this day, front which the Reporters were excluded.
