ARGYLL Rooass.—A Masquerade took place
at these rooms last night, and attracted a nume-
rous company. This specks of entertainment is
by no means suited to the English so well as the
Italians, as there is a lightness in their character
which better corresponds with its nature, and by
whom, indeed, it is indebted for its origin. There
was a due proportion of Shepherdesses, Sailors,
Jews, Turks, Irish, Dominos, &c. &c. One
mask presented himself as the father of LANGAN,
the Pugilist, who excited much bustle and fun in
hunting for his son. A band of Robin Hood's
men were busy in chacing fair damsels,
in which they were apparently more successful
than they would have been in pursuit of other
Deer. If there was not much wit, on the whole
there was much good-humour, and CHARLES
WRIGHT'S wines must have been generally relish-
ed, for it appeared that a great quantity was con-
sumed. They seemed, however, to excite hila-
rity, without any mischievous tendency. The sup-
per was so good and so abundant as to be very
creditable to the provider from the moderation of
the charge. The number of Rooms that were
opened for the occasion afforded full scope for
the humour of the visitors, and presented a per-
petual variety by the change and mixture of
characters. In this respect these Rooms are more
convenient than any other place that has been
opened for a similar purpose since the memo-
rable days of Mrs. CORNELT in Soho Square.
Quadrilles and Waltzes, and bacchaualian enjoy-
ments, seemed likely, when we left the place,
to occupy the company till a very late hour,
without portending any thing likely to disturb
the general festivity.
Madame CkTALANI arrived in town yesterday
in very good health.
By the decision of a law case in the Court of
King's Bench, a poor widow at Sunderland has
come into possession, it is said, of not less than
10,0001. !

We are enabled to state, upon authority, that
at the ensuing Audits at Alnwick (next month), his Grace the
Duke of NOILT U MBE ILLAN D' will remit to his numerous te.
nantry 20 per cent. of the rents. This generous treatment, now
that agriculture has been so revivified, tends to place in a very
conspicuous point of view that nobleness of character which has
ever been found identified with the Princely house of PERCY.

COVENT-GARDEN.-Miss F. K. EIJ.Y resumed
her sr: tion last night in tIP9 part of dreiliet,iri
hicil she first appeared, and which was•cer-
tainly her most successful performance. She
was received with great warmth, on hz:r
entrance, and obtained considerable applause:
during the whole of her exertions. Mr. C.
K ENIBLE gave so fine an assumption of Romeo,
as %,vould doubtless have satisfied even' the im-
mortal author of the admirable and interesting
Drama.

COURT OF KING'S PENCIL-C DA*.)

BYRNE v. PARKINi.-'Phis was an action for
defamation of character.—Mr. PHI-LT.ll'i, for the
defendant, rose and said, he had a proposal to
make to the Learned Counsel on the other side,
which was, that if the defendant paid the costs of
the action, and acknowledged in open Court -he:
had accused his client wrongfully, it would pu.
an end to a subject of the most unpleasant nature.
The Counsel for the defendant then consulted
for a few minutes with their client, when Mc.
Ex-Sheriff rose and said, that under all the Cjr-'
cumstances of the case he acceeded to the pro-
posal, but at the same time intimated his inten-
tion of moving for a new. trial in the action of the
preceding day. His Lordship said, that was art..'
other business.—The Jury then returned a ver-
dict of 403. dama,,ges.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—(Tmis DAy.)

THE LONDON DOCK COMPANY V. wir.r.Luds.

The defendant in this case stood indicted at
the instance of the London Dock Company, fur
assaulting, on the 9,4 th of December, one of their•
Officers, named Morgan, in the execution of his
duty. The prosecutor was placed at one of the
dates of ti►e private road through which, az
times, persons got in and out ,iithout a
pass. On the day in question the defend-
ant was sent by his master to the iliarqui;;
of Iluntly, t!►en in the Dock, an► 3 !►is nearest
way lay through the said road. On coming to
the gate the prosecutor demanded his pass, but
received for answer, that he had not one, and
insisted on going throt!gh. This. was resisted,
and, as alleged, the assault was then committed.
A great many witnesses were► called on both►
sides, whose testimony differed totally, and the
Jury found him Not Guatg.
