reports from.the different Committees were receiv-

cipally occupied the attention of the Court was

SMITH, Treasurer and clerk to• the. Commission-
ers of Lieutenancy of the oity of- Lond9n, was
called within the bar, and examined with regard
to the balances which- had .not been brought for-
ward in ~seVe:al accounts passed at_ the 'Quarter
Sessions, Mr. SMITH shewd that he had acted
merely in conformity' to the. instructions of the
Commissioners, and that his cOlidnet in that re-
spect was free from all blame. , His state-
ments went, however, to confirm the subject
matter of, the 'Report, as far as it related
to the balances withheld; and, upon the motion
of Mr. WAITHMAN, the Court agreed in the Re-
port of the ComMittee with one negative only.

Trl TI.IATRE.—The comic opera of The Castle
of Andalusia last night introduced Mr. Ba.knAm
at Drury-lane Theatre, in the part of .eilphonso.
He was received on his entrance with loud and
continued applause, and by the extraordinary abi-
lity with which he executed the several airs be-
longing and incidental to his. part, he re-excited
that applause, and was encored in nearly all. His
voice appeared to great advantage. It seemed, in-
deed, to have more strength than ever, yet was
managed with great taste and deliCacy. In the
first act heintroduted The voice of Love," a new
song, which does' credit to the composer, Mr.
PARRY, and which the audience obliged him to re-
peat:BELLAMY acquitted himself ably DonCcesar,
and the different style of his singing from that of
BRAHAM produced an agreeable variety, which
was still farther increased by the able exertions of
PYNE, Mrs. DIcKONS, and Mrs. MOWNTA,IN. ,The
,comic characters were well supported by, LOVE:-
'GROVE, KNIGHT, PENSON, and Miss KELLY. The
piece itself_ would be a mass of pitiable dulness,
indeed, if it were , not so' strongly propped by the
musical and comic powers employed in thc repre-
sentation of it.

Practitioner, who was the
