ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE. —A whimsical Farce
was brought forward on Saturday, entitled " One,
Two, Three, Fonr, Five, by Advertisement."—
The chief purpose is to introduce Mr. REEVE,
whose mimetic powers were displayed in Sylvester
Daggerwood last season at. Drury-lane Theatre.—
He was very successful in his imitations of several
Performers at this Theatre, and the farce altoge-
ther was so entertaining that it was received with
great applause. HARLEY; who bad been one of
the imitated Performers, announccd its repetition
with unanimous consent.

MISS MAcAuLay.—This Lady read the Tragedy
of The Italians on Saturday last, in the Great
Rdom at Freemason's-hall. She was attended
by a numerous and genteel audience, so nume-
rous indeed, that many persons could not procure
seats. The admirable manner in which she rather
acted than recited this ill-treated Tragedy, ex-
cited the warmest applause throughout. It this
excellent Actress is not engaged At one of our win-
ter Theatres next season, it may well be regret-
ted that the Managers have not better taste and
judgment.

An awful instance of sudden death occurred at
the British Museum, in Great Russell-street,
Bloomsbury : about four o'clock on Saturday
morning, when the two sentries who were sta-
tioned at the great gate were relieved, and re-
turning to the guard-room, one of them fell at the
door, and was carried in, bnt expired before me-
dical aid arrived, which was in a few minutes.

(From " The Mayo Constitution.") •
`1 Dr.-KELLY, the Roman Catholic AHtbishop
of Titan), held a Confirmation in.the Chapel of
this town (Castlthar), on Monday and Tuesday
last. Upon this occasion a very moral and well-
conducted young man, who works in the office of
thiS paper, presented himself for confirmation to
the Bishop, who either felt or said he felt it his
dirty to refuse the young man this rite of his
Church, or to hear his confession, because he
pursues his lawful employment, with liberty to at-
tend prayers on days which the Bishop is .pleased
to distinguish by the name of holy. We think it
due to Roman Catholic parents to mention this
circumstance, that they may not unwittingly put
their children into a situation of life which, it
seems, they cannot follow, and at the same time
preserve the religion in which they were educated.
Had we been heretofore aware of the fact, we
should, however it may have operated against us,
have considered it a matter of conscience to" pub-
lish this caution, which must also affect brewers,'
bakers, distillers, and a 'great 'variety of other
trades. Brit, 'let us see what effect this rule of the
worthy Bishop may have upon the interest of the
press, and even upon that great question, to the
favourable reception of which' he not improbably
looks for a' seat in the House of Lords ! If Ro-
man Catholic printers are not to. work upon any
of the forty or fifty holy, days of the year, it is evi-
dent, if they be employed in newspaper offices,
that the daily prints cannot he issuerl,,nor can a
Roman Catholic, who cares any 'Ching about con-
firm,ition or confession,- be proprietor of a public
Journal. What then must he the consequenci
The press then falls into the hands of Protestants
or sectaries—and it must he to the liberality or
permission of these alone that the Catholic Ques-
tion will be 'indebted fur the powerful aid it now
receives from public discussion, without which,
Dr. Kelly may be assured, it will never make the
successful impression he desires and perhaps cal-
culates upon. On St. Peter and St. Paul's day
(Thursday last), the coadjutor Priests of the
town.went to the Jail, where there were about 50
men at work, and commanded them to desist.
The men, however, thought better not to coat-
ply with the orders of the Priests, and, potatoes
being dear, work scarce, and their families look.
ing to them for food, they remained at their busi-
ness."

COURT OF SESSION.

FARM-SERVANTS' IVAGESr

IMPORTANT DEOISION-MAGGLASHAN u. DUKE OF

ATHOLL,

Macglashan engaged himself as a farm-servant to
a Mr. I\loon, tenant of the Duke of At boll, for one
year, from Martinmas 1817 to Martinmas 1818. In
August 1818, the tenant's crop and stocking were
sequestrated tor rent One to the landlord. The ser-
vant applied to the Sheriff of Perth to order the
Duke to pay his year's wages (101.) out of the
proceeds. The Substitute preferred the servant,
but the Depute held the landlord's bypothec to be
the preferable right.
The servant appealed to the Citc%it Court
of Justiciary. Lord GILLICS (the presiding
Judge) was of opinion, that the servant ought
to be preferred ; but, as the practice oil
this point seemed to vary in nifferent Coun-
ties, his Lordship cdtified the case to the
First Division of the Court. It was there heard
Cully, and the Court have decided unanimou3ly,
that farm-servants are to be preferred as credi-
tors, for their current wages, to the landlord,
whose right of hypothec must now yield, through
the whole of Scotland, to this equitable and pre-
ferable claim.

Lord HERMAND said, the crop was created by
the labour of the servants, and that it was the in-
terest of landlords themselves that the wages of
such labour should be made preferable.
Lord BALMUTO concurred.

Lord SUCCOTH -remarked, that the rent is pro.
diced by the crop, and the crop by the labour of
the servants.

Lord BALGRAY and the LORD PRESIDENT, on
more than one principle, were of opinion, that
the decision of the Sheriff should be reversed, and
the appeal sustained.
The Court gave expenses to the servant.
