AMATEUR PERFORMANCE AT THE SOHO THEATRE,
FOR THE BZNEFIT OF Miss KELLY. —We understand that
the talented amateur company, whose admirable performance
at the Soho Theatre, on the 14th inst., of Mrs. Centlivre's
comedy of the Butt' Body, and Richard Jones's farce of Too
Late for Dinner, was honoured by the distinguished
approbation of the elite of the fashionable and literary
world, intend to repeat those performances, at the
same theatre, on the 11th of February, for the bene-
fit of Miss Kelly, when we have no doubt the
friends and admirers of that admirable actress will support
the efforts which these gentlemen and ladies are making for
the benefit of one whose transcendent talents in former and
happier days were the admiration and delight of every lover
of the drama. The treasurer is Mr. W. C. Kent, of 112,
Strand, the author of the witty prologue and epilogue which
were spoken 01 the occasion of the last performance, and
which wil be repeated on the 11th.

DRAMATIC INSTITUTION, GOUGII-STREET.—Last
evening the members of the society called the "Old Western
Dramatics," gave their sixth amateur performance at this
institution, the evening's entertainment consisting of Moore's
tragedy of the Gamester and the comedy of the heir at Law.
The whole of the parts, speaking generally, were well sus-
tained ; but especial mention must be made of the excellent
manner in which Miss Blanchard sustained the arduous
character of Mrs. Beverley. The part is one of much deli-
cacy of shading, and, consequently, very difficult of per-
formance ; but Miss Blanchard's impersonation was a most
sweet and womanly performance. Mr. C. Wilson, as Bever-
ley, acquitted himself exceedingly well ; he gave a most pas-
sionate and yet truthful impersonation of the part. In the
comedy Miss Roughtledge sustained the part of Cicely
Homespun very
played the part. excellently ; she looked as pretty as she

PATENT-LAW RI FORM.—The committee appointed
by the council of the Society of Arts held their ninth meet-
ing on Saturday. The following resolution was agreed to
by the committee with regard to the importation of inven-
tions :—" That the importation of any patented invention
practised abroad shall not confer a title of registration, ex-
cept in the cases of the proprietors or inventors, within
twelve months from the date of the foreign patent ; and that
no invention of which the patent has expired in any foreign
country, or which has teen published for a period of twelve
months in any foreign country, or which is in free public
use in any foreign country, shall be capable of being regis-
tered in the United Kingdom."

NEW RIVER. ComrANT.—The standing orders
were complied with yesterday in the case of this Bill, to
enable the governor and company to improve the course of
the New River, and to construct additional reservoirs and
other works for the oe,tter supply of the metropolis with
water. The works proposed to be authorised are new cuts
between Hertford, Cheshunt, and Stoke Newington, and ter-
minating at the aqueduct of the New River over the East
and West India Docks and Birmingham Junction Railway
at Islington; a reservoir near Claybill Faun-house, Totten-
ham, and another commencing at Newington, to terminate
at 11i4hbury Vale, II ornsey, with waterworks to pass
through Hertford, Little and Great Amwell, Hoddesdon,
Broxbourne, Wormley, Cheshunt, Enfield, Edmonton, Horn-
seY, Stoke Newington, and Islington. The opposition was
withdrawn.

KILBRICKEN SILVER LEAD MINING COMPANY.--
On Thursday, in this matter,there was a meeting for a proc,f of
debts before Master Richards. The debts brought in were
trifling in amount; however, a question of some importance
was mooted. It was contended that the Winding-up Act
directed the Master to allow to creditors the costs justly in-
curred in proving their debts, and in this construction of
the statute his Honour intimated his concurrence, without,
however, deciding finally upon the matter, as he wished
for an
opportunity of consulting the other Masters on the
question.
