Sir JAMES SCARLETT was heard by their Lordships in
a case of appeal from the Cdpe of Good Hope, which had
been argued before the Court some time ago, and had then
been referred by their Lordships to the Cape.

Mr. LENNARD has given notice that on Thursday, August
2, he will move for an account of the revenues, ordinary

an account of the several ►ivings belonging to such Deans
and Chapters and Collegiate Churches, or to which any of
the members thereof have any right or privilege of pre-
senting or being inducted.
We understand that Sir WALTER SCOTT is
certainly somewhat better, and when colh•cted, which he
is usually for an hour in the morning, his favourite amuse-
meat is to have CRABBE read to him.

KING'S THEATRE CONCERT ROOM.—The
Concert yesterday of the Mesdames ELours was one of
considerable attrac'ion, from the attendance of several of
our first-rate performers. Among others, Mr. FIELD,
accompanied by M. Puzzr, performed a notturno on the
French horn admirably. Mademoiselle ScHNEIDER
charmed the audience in una voce. The Messieurs
Ercrillortw (the two German little boys) execute.i a duet
on violins. They introduced several of PAGANINI'S hits,
and were encored. The Mesdames ELouls evinced great
taste and knowledge on the harp.
HAYMARKET THEATRE.—A new comic
drama, entitled The Court Jester, was produced last night.
It is a translation or adaptation from the French, by the
younger Mr. MATHEWS. There is much dry humour in
the dialogue, and not a few political allusions, which told
well, because they were not overstrained. One point
worthy of notice is, that there is not, to the best of our re-
collection, a single pun from the beginning to the end of
the drama. There was, however, sufficient poignancy in
the quaint points and smart repartees which the different
characters threw out, as well as in the comicality or
many of the situations in which the dramatis per-
sona were placed, to excite much laughter, without
the introduction of the lowest and most spurious species of
wit. Mr. FARREN'S acting as a pedagogue was ad-
mirable. The drama was as successful as Mr. MATHEWS
himself could desire.

VAUXHALL GArtDENS.—Last night was the
first juvenile tete of this season, and the proprietors of this
popular place of amusement took every pains to please
their young patrons. The gardens were splendidly il•
luininated with several new devices suitable to the occa-
sion, and there was a great variety of other attractions added,
which gave perfect satisfaction to the youthful audience.
During the evening, the band belonging to the Duke
of Yoax's Asylum at Chelsea paraded the gardens, per-
forming different pieces of martial music ; and the Ger-
man siffieur displayed his extraordinary talents in mimick.
ing the cries of birds and other animals. The weather
was fine, and company respectable.
THE MARQUIS OF HERTFORD'S FETE.—
A correspondent has sent us an amusing illustration of the
dread of cholera in what are called the higher circles. At
the fete which the Marquis of HERTFORD gave on Tues-
day, at his seat in the Regent's Park, there was no lack
of the chiefest grace and ornament of fete champetres—
flowers, of which the colours were the most splendid, and
the perfumes the most grateful. So strong, however, did
the apprehension of cholera prevail over all other conside-
rations, that his Lordship had ordered tar-barrels to be
burnt in every direction : and so vigorously and generally
were his Lordship's orders executed, that the scene of his
entertainment smelt and looked as though his aristocratic
gathering had met for the purpase of celebrating the anni-
versary of Gov FAUX. Had not his Lordship better in-
sist, for the future, upon all his guests producing clean
bills of health, and undergoing at least a quarter of an
hour's quarantine, before admission within the walls of his
habitation ? The servants should, of course, be fumi-
gated, and to that operation, even if it were performed
with brimstone, the tallest gentleman's gen.lernan in the
west can hardly object, after the process of purification
to which his Lordship has subjected the sweetest of the
vegetable creation. His Lordship should have put up an
inscription, which his Bengal lights and tar-barrels would
have made legilile and intelligible:—
. Medeo de fonte leporum
Surgit arnari aligttid, quod in jpsis floribus angat."

ST. DUSTAN'S CHURCH, FLEET-STREET.
—This edifice, as far as its mammary is concerned, was
yesterday brought to a completion. It is in the Gothic
style, and has a square tower, from which springs an
octagonal turret, surmounted by richly-ornamented pin-
nacles at each angle, with open masonary-work, and three
smaller pinnacles between. Viewed from the end of Fleet
street it has a very beautiful appearance. A temporary
flag. staff has been erected in the centre of the turret, from
which the Union Jack is displayed in honour of its
completion.

the 7th instant, that the young Prince is recovering. On

A letter has been received from a British
Officer stationed at Oporto, which states that the writer
had visited Don PEDRO, the Marquess PALMELLA, and
Count VILLA FLOR, since the possession of the city has been
obtained. They were in excellent spirits—confident of
success, and in expectation of reaching Lisbon by the 24th.
Sanguine hopes are entertained of the success of this ex-
pedition by persons well informed of the state of Portugal.
It is believed that PALMELLA is in the entire confidence of
Don PEDRO.
AN IMPERIAL HUNTRESS.-Previously to
the return of Don PEDRO from the Brazils, the Empress
was to be met frequently in different parts thereof in her
sporting attire, and with all the paraphernalia of the
sports of the field ; or, to use the Great Bard's style,
~ Caparisoned, mounted for warrior-decd."
When last seen in this costume she was ors a fine horse,
which she rode en cavalier, disdaining the side-saddle,
and was flanked by servants on either hand, bearing fowl-
Mg-pieces, and surrounded by her dogs. Her hat was
'icily surmounted with ostrich feathers ; her palefreniers
