TVILLI.s'S ROOMS.

On Saturday morning Herr Charles Medlin!'
gave another of those delightful concerts for which
he has been before so justly celebrated. The
arrangements were admirable, and the programme
was so varied that there was none of that monotony
which too often mars the effect of so many public
entertainments. Miss Goddard's presence was
a great treat to the audience, and the duet which
she performed with Herr Oberthur was the best,
and most attractive rnorceau of the programme.
The nocturne for three harps was also a very"
charming composition ; and it was interesting to
notice the remarkable efficiency displayed by the
performers on an instrument which is so often neg-
ligently played upon. All lovers of instrumental
music must have been pleased on Saturday, for
there were Herr Lies, Herr Lidel, and Signor
Regondi. There were also some singers, whiJse
skill contributed to the amusement of the hour ; but
the advantage was with the instrumental part of
the affair. The concerts of this celebrated harpist
are always ranked among the most brilliant and
fascinating of the hosts of like entertain-
ments that abound in the season, and this
one was not inferior to the others. It would have
been difficult to meet with better taste in the design
or more skill in the execution of the numerous
nzoreeaux selected for the harp; and those who do
not in general desiderate that instrument must
have been pleased with so many charming exhibi-
tions of its merits. the fashionable assembly who
filled the room were evidently highly pleased with
the entertainment, and nearly all present remained.
till the conclusion of the performances.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(VIIIS DAY.)

ROLLS COURT.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. GOULD-BAPTIST CHAPEL, I`plt•

WICH-JUDGMENT.

The Mastor of the Rolls said—The question brought toe•
fore him was, whether, having regard to the due constno-
tion of the deed establishing a class of particular Baptista
in the City of Norwich, persons whose faith have not boa en
confirmed by baptismal emersion, are entitled to free com-
munion with members of that church, whose faith has hi Feu
confirmed by baptismal emersion according to the rulos of
that church. His Honour, on considering the terms of the
foundation deed of Nov. 4, 1740, and referring to sure ral
confessions of the Baptist Church, and et m-
oldering the opinions of several eminent cleri cal
authors on the doctrines of the Baptist Church, and in ri ar-
ticular the opinion of the celebrated John Bunyan, eagno
to the conclusion that each particular congregation of the
Baptist Church was entitled to make such rules as they
thought proper for the conduct of the Church, and that one
Church was not entitled to govern another Church ; eat
the Baptist Churches were independent of each other ; that
there was nothing in the deed excluding free communion
in this Church, and nothing in the confessions of faith or
membership of this Church to exclude it; and if the ma-
nagers of this Church admitted free communion, he could
not grant an injunction to restrain it.
The information was dismissed with costs.
