FAW INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
IVELLISLEY V. DUKE OF BEAUFORT.
r• HORNE; WEIS instructed to request the Court's
Nisision that a petition in this moo, with respect
4,'l4hat we? to be done with the children for the

''seave &ranted.

L!tft. IN RI KINCI, A LUNATIC.
• MtiIITAIARFT.i stated that a reference had been
i4l e to the Master iu this Inett,r, to ase.artain
;heel: therrilie lunaticllester .hAts:si
reported that

his brother were equally entitled to the property
et the will; and that the lunatic
tl
i. petition prayed that it might be referred back
igellaster to see whether it would be proper that
i
mortgage should be assigned, and the Learned
!illBt,l apprehended that the Court would have no
culty in ordering such an assignment to be made.
t pet.t.oner, as the Committee, and brother of the
'4ii;. had paid several large ,i:ms, to the amount of
4, and he asked that the mortgage money, 5004 ; ;
honer,
be paid to hire, instead of being paid into
bit, half of which he :vas entitled to in his own
rt, The physicians who had attended the lunatic
i:. W;llis and Sir Jaales Tuthill) were very im-
TMote for their fees.
Alta LORDSHIP considered the Court could not
leer intu that question. The Court could not anti-
Pate matters matters of this kind ; its proper and regular
141le would be, to order the money to be paid in
Llaid out. If there was such a pressure for the
Zey, why could not the Committee pass his tee-,
_ ts.
fir. Wurrakitisn observed, there was no money to

the

1 'ecupy several days.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

teenusy v. etxteirt.o.
ia was an action brought by Mr. Murray, of
rlltaarle-street, the publisher of Lord Byron's
,rks, to recover damages from Mr. Limbird, the
lblisher of the Beauties of Lord Byron, for having
;I‘ktli Childe Harold.
Oir J.' SCARLETT appeared for the plaintiff, and
I BROUGRAII fur the defendant.
SCARLETT said that property of this kind
iiii7Yretected by the Act of the 43d and 44th
thorge 111., which conferred the exclusive
111111 ht.. of the copy to such persons as the ate-
te: might convey it to for the term of four-
-411 years, and if at the termination of that
10t1 the author was still living, then for a further
k11t7," of 14 years, or during the lifetime of the
40r, if the seine should extend beyond the term
pyears. The saute acts which gave to the author
ia copyright were also conferred upon those to
)I°l'l he might think proper to convey it for a va-
„, 'e consideration. There was perhaps, no de-
QPtiou property so liable to be pillaged us that
yol_opyright, and more particulaily so when the
1„1411.4s happened to be extremely popular, as
the case in the present instance. Mr.
thWray, anxious to gratify the means as well as
taste of the public, had published a cheap
bq which he had conveyed the right of to other
tico. The defendant had published a work en-
, " The Beauties of Byron," iu which lie net
Z'Y made very copious extracts front some of the
jet poems, but actually published the entire of
,e of the minor pieces. Ile understood that the
-,feeee would be that parts only were giveu, as they
Illy were given in other publications, but that
,fur
could not avail if the whole of any particular
were published, nor indeed could such pas-
lire as were inserted in the Beauties of Lord
104 ton be considered as fair extracts, comprising
they did the whole of the most popular parts of
161.hest poems of Lord Byron. Such a mode of
extracts must have a tendency to injure the
Zl.of those works from which the extracts were
Nee; and for the damage thus sustained, as well
bb to prevent the continuance of such a eystem,
present action was brought.
t fir. linovonAxt said, that as the entire of some of
:4 , minor poems had been copied into the" Beauties
L.' Lord Biros)," he felt that he could offer no valid
7euee to the action, lie had, however, a proposi.
711 to make, which, if accepted by the other side,
7ould prevent the necessity of carryiug the present
oceediugs any further. The speculation of pub-
Es_Lieg dorm Beauties of Byron was a very bud one
the defendant, and could sot therefore be very
toductive of injury to the plaiuti'f. They did not
'll4lll to have suited the public taste, for they had
:t sold. The defendant, therefore, would agree to
r° up the remainder of the impression which had
been sold, and to give up also the stereotype
p lea of the work, provided the ple.intiff would se,
'Pt of a verdict for nominal damages with costs.
ti Lord TENTERDEN said, he thought the propoei-
vvas tt reasonable one.
Sit J. SCARLETT upon the part of the plaintiff,
Zelaented to accept of the terms, and a verdict for
pliiutiff was according taken, with the nominal
Ntuages of one shilling.
There was no other case of any public interest'
this

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

LALEW.iII FIEBAY••••-•TROTTIC A. V. QALLOWAY.I

3ilr. JERVIS, sun. (with whom was Mr. THERSI-
4i) stated the case.. It was an action brought for
13417,me of enforcing the exclusive right of a Mr.
tutwel, whose tenant the plaintiff was, to the
rY across the Thome', between Chelsea in Surrey,
m'd Laleham in _Middlesex. The question was of
%)usiderable importance not only to Mr. Hartwel,
l'ltt to the public in general—of importance to him
respected his.p roperti, and to the public, as it
41%Ilred to them a constant mode of conveyance
It'toss the river in that populous neighbour-
'`oal; for if the franchise of the plaintiff were
It!ecessfully rtv.isted, it would not be worth
14 while to continue the ferry, and the public
*Quid then have to depend upon the precarious
qtendanee of watertnen and others, who, as they
('(4lld have no means of shelter on the bunks of the
tih`r, could not be expected to ply at all hours. lt
11,Ao. unnecessary in a case like the present, where
the parties were cot contending between them
f 41' the right of ferry, but where the de-
' ,Ildriat merely denied the right of the
Plaintiff, that .the plaintiff should go into evidence
the original grant from the Crown. It would be
ltialeieut for him to show that the right of ferry had
;leen out of the Crown for many years, and that it
gad come from those who had possessed it, so-far as
175, Lae the hands of Mr. Hart wel. It would
'Ppear that the right of ferry and toll at Lalehara
grin been then conveyed to Sir James Lowther, that
k passed through the hands of others of his family,
stibsequeutly became the property of the late
44, ettersall, of Hyde-park-corner. Upon that
btatleman's death, his estates were sold, and the
ferry in question, with other property, was pun.
'Last ed by Mr. ll,artwel. It was difficult for the
'Learned Gentlemen to anticipate the nature of the
defence about to beset up by the deft:Amt.. If the
qufeace was that the right of Mr. IL had, froar time to
tiwe, been resisted, he would clearly show that the
ikrgee se resistiug bud been proceeded against at
,4tw. One of these, a man named Ileitis, had suf-
'uteri judgmeut to go by default; he was sent to
Ilison for the costs of the action, and on coming
°kit under the Insolvent Debtor's Act, he again
101111110)(4.d carrying persons across the ferry for
4, ire. Another action was brought against
and the Learned Gentleman believed,
that he was again sent to prison ;—at all
tYetite Le sold his boat to the present defendant for

about one-fourth of its value, in order that one Gal-
loway might conrinio. ;be ,vl-,ich he himself
had been compelled to r Ai.fish. The Learned
Gentleman said, that the plaintiff, Or ber his land-
lord, Mr. Ilartwel, was placed in a very embarras,-
ing situation, it was his bounden du: v to maintain
a proper ferry at Lalehani, as it was :lie imperative
duty of every man who Lad a tiimil,u franchise, and
he was amenable to the law if he neglected
doing so, but yet the defendant and several
others in the neighbourhood had combined for the
purpose of depriving him of the profits of that ferry,
which was very valuable, as it -was the..ouly commu-
nication between the opposite tides of the Thames
from Chertsey-bridge to the bridge at Staines. The
Learned Gentleman then proceeded to offer evi-
dence in support of the plaintiff's case.
Mr. TAUNTON and Mr. Coral's appeared for the
defe dant.

CITY MARKETS, TWO O'CLOCK.
SUGAR.--The delivery of Sugar from the West
India Docks last week Were only 2,731 Mids. and
182 tcs. and there having been landed but 1,198 hits-
and 16 tcs., the stock in the Docks has been re-
duced to 39,311 hhds. and 2,438 tree. The markets
this morning are as they closed on Friday, very
heavy. In Mauritius there is scarcely anything do-
ing. A sale of 5,000 bags is announced for this
week. Befitted goods are drooping.
CONFER.—The demand is still languid. Good
ordinary Jamaica hardly realizes 375.; good Deme-
rara 755. to 765.; fine Berbice appears to be in de-
mand at a slight advance.
TEML—The Company's sale is proceeding with
briskness. Congous still on sale, and fetching
2s. 2id. to 2s. Bd. The general character of the
sale, as far as it has proceeded, is. a decline in
prices on the last declaration.
Runt.—The delivery last week was 524 puns.
and 48 hhds., 229 puns. of which for export. The
present stock is 19,451 puns. and 1,449 hhda. Lee-.
wards barely fetch the last quoted prices. Brandy
is firm, first mark 3s.
Setcas are generally on steady demand, but wit!,
out any alteration in the quotations.
INDIGO.--The accounts relative to the crop con-
tinua to be very indecisive. A correspondent of
the Calcutta Jolt Bull, received yesterday, says—
" It is now pretty well ascertained that the crop
will not fall short, of what till within the last three
years was considered an average produce." The
purchases at present made are on nearly the same
terms as on Friday. The market rather more firm.
Seemly any thing is doing in Saltpetre, and it re-
mains at 255. 6d. per cwt.
BALTIC PRODUCE.—But little is doing in the
Tallow Market, although the prices are rather more
firm, viz. 391. 6d.-per cwt. The delivery lust week
was 2,800 casks. A large quantity of Tallow is on
the way from Russia. Iu Bristles, business is not
brisk, and the stocks are considerably larger. St.
Petersburgh firsts are from 121. 10s. to 13/., and
Okatka from 20/. to 25/. per ewt. Hemp is heavy.
COTTON.—The market is limy heavy, both here
and at Liverpool, there being less orders for the ma-
nufacturing districts than almost at any former pe-
riod of the year. Theme are 2,108 bales of Suruts
for sale ou Friday. 'the accounts from India state
that the new crop of Cotton was expected to be an
abundant one. bursts are from 34d. to 4U.;
Benal 4d. to 44d.; Demerara, 7,id. to fid. ; Egyp-
tian, 7d. to Bd.
Hops.--The demand for Kent pockets is rather
better. The rig-stations are—Kent pockets, 80s. to
1055.; ditto bags, 80e. to 100 s. Sussex pockets,
71114. to 84s. per cwt.

THE APPROACHING ASSIZES AT

CHELXISFORD.

(From the Esser Herald of this tlay.)

Prisoners for trial, -and under summary convic-
tions, arrive so quick in succession, as to execed
precedent. From the first to the sixth instant, no
less than thirty-three were received. There are at
this time upwards of one hundred names for the ca-
lendar. _ _

Among the numerous charges is one of a flagitious
descriplien, against a farmer occupying at consider-
able tract of land, named• Robert Pro('lor, a man far
advanced in years, and his servant, William Simpson.
The crime for which dime persons stand committed
is fully explained in a statement which appeared in a
Morning Pupae of Saturday last (evidently written
by some person well acquainted with the circum-
stances of the case), and from which we make the
following extract :7-
" At Michaelmas last, Lewis Majendie, Esq. of
Castle Hodingham, put off several of his farms, one
of which called Park Farm, situate in the parish of
Gestingthorpe, he let to a Suffolk farmer. Mr.
Majeudie's bailiff, Glasscock, lives at some distance
froM the farm, and the men who were thrashing the
cora (which of course belongs to Mr. Mejend;e)
Were ordered to give the keys of the barns every
night to the tenant. During the last month the
men have constantly missed corn froM the barns,
:which ,:circurnstance they told to Glasscock, the
bailif ; and last Saturday night the barns were
-wateliediand a constable was put into one of them,
with victuals, and directions to remain concealed
•in the barn until the thrashers should come back
to:their work en the Monday morning. The
keys as usual were taken to the tenant. About
six o'clock on the Sunday morning, one of the
doors was unlocked, and the ham entered by two
men, whom the constable immediately perceived
to be no other than Mr. Majendie's own tenant,
and a labourer in his employ. The constable con- •
tinued concealed. The tenant and his labourer in-
stantly set to work, and filled a full-sized skep (a
large sort of basket), with thrashed corn from the
heap on the floor ! The tenant then said they must
not take any mole from that heap then, but that
they would look in at the other barn in the course of
the day ! They next threw a considerable quantity
of unthrashed corn to the tenant's pigs in the yard,
and were leaving the barn with their booty, sr hen
the constable rushed out from his hiding place and
seized them. Fur some time the tenant was so
astounded that he could not speak, but us soon as he
recovered his voice he attempted to bribe the con-
stable. lie was immediately taken, with his la-
bourer, before George Walker, Esq , a Magistrate
residing in the parish in which the offence was com-
mitted, and on 'Tuesday they were brought before
the Bench at Castle Hedinghatn, where they were
finally committed to take their trial at the Chelms-
ford Assizes, which are to be holden this week."
Among the principal 'charges for trial are six for
horse-stealing, one of them for two °fleeces, end
also including Abraham Burrell, committed on the
6th, charged With stealing a bay mare from William
Lant, of Thurniersley ; four for burglary, two for
highway robbery; five fur pig-steeling; six for
stealing corn ;. three fur assaults upon constables in
the execution of their office; two for the assault
on Mr. Greenhill ; seven for poaching; three for
house-breaking; one for sheep-stealing; two for
stealing asses ; two for unnatural offences ; three for
attempts to commit a rape ; ten for stealing ap-
parel, &e.

ROYAL ACADEMY OP MUSIC, AT THE

ENGLISH OPERA-HOUS,E

At the period that cetton-mills were invented, and
tho mighty power of steam adapted to %yolk its cam-
plicatei and bcautifr.l machinery,. an otdery was
raised that the farmer izidustihiiN portion of our fle,
ptdation concerned iu the manufacture of this site..
plat. production of nature would be utterly ruined.
For a time, certain individuals suffered some incon,
venience by the transition from mauled labour to the
immensely multiplying. produce of machinery.—
Shortly, howeva, the number of persons employed to
attend the said machinery exceeded by thousands the •
gross number of those who bad formerly been the
only spinners of the raw material ! It is far from
our intention to assert that the analogy will apply in
Coto with the result which the Royal Academy of
Music would seem to present to the alarmed mind
of certain established Professors of Music in the me-
tropolis. Of a verity, however, such outcry as that
we have alluded to, was got up at the very com-
mencement of the Institution; and it is not at all
probable that it is to suffer any thing ap-
proximating to diminutiou by the singular exhibition
we were astonished to witness yesterday evening.—
Of the good and evil attendant upon all such esta-
blishments much has been said, much more might
be added—but we shall at present content our-
selves with the remark, that the general good must
and will overwhelm all other coesiderations. If the
Professors of London become alarmed, let them
unite, as they ought to do, in generous competition
and emulation to excel—such a procedure will soon
be understood and properly appreciated. Que-
rulous complainings, however just they may be in
pau•ticular instances, will seldom induce a lasting
sympathy; let them look to this in good time, and by
a ceetintrance of exertion, such as the Philharmonic
Society can offer to the encreasing appetite for all
that is really valuable in music, they can have no
solid reason to fear that their " market will be
overstocked," or themselves eclipsed by' the juve-
nile yet clever efforts of the young men attached to
the Royal Academy of Music. The singularly per-

feet exhibition of RossiNes most beautiful opera,
" Il Barbieri di Shialia," by the pupils of that
establishment,removed every shadow of a doubt from
our mind (if any ever did exist) that native talent can
and will be brought to equal perfection, in even foreign
opera! The ease and astonishing tuct of the young
men in almost every department last night, orchestra
and stage, savoured wore of the collision produced
by veterans in the art, than we were at all prepared
to anticipate. We were patticularly pleased with
young SEratouo's decision and accuracy, as- the
leader of a most eff,ctive orchestra, formed almost
exclusively of the pupils, many of them absolute
boys ! The overture was rapturously encored. Mr.
LucAs, as priucipal violoncello, acquitted himself, in
that most arduous situation, in such a style as to
give promise of future excellence that shall prove
him an honour to his country. • The more difficult
portion ci the orchestra, the wind instruments, were

frequently very effective; their faults were such as
will ever be inseparable from the want of more ex-
tensive experie►►ce. Amongst the most successful
debutante of the ❑ight was Miss CIIILDE. Her
voice is extremely melodious, and her style unex-
ceptionable. She was rapturously aiTlauded in the
Aria " Una yore pay() fa," and encored in
the Duet, " Dung:re io son." Indeed the acting
of the entire Scena With,DE BEGNIS was extremely
clever. Young Brom (a pupil, we believe, of DE
BEGNI-S) went through the arduous character of the
Count Alinaviva with considerable skill. His style
is good, and when his vocal organ attains more
p►wer he must become a most excellent tenor
singer.. His acting was rather above the standard
of a debutante. Mr. SAPID, jun.- as the Dr. Bar-
-Id9, and SEcartN as Basilio, acquitted themselves
well also. The voice of the latter is of a magnifi-
cent kind, ponderous and flexible. He seems to be
deficient in energy, which his youth and inexpe-
rience may easily be brought to account for. Miss
BROMLEY, us Berta, in the sort of mock-heroic aria

introduced into the second act, elicited the most
unqualified applause and encore of the whole even-
ing's performance. Her archness, affected pathos,
and very pclit figure, called forth unmitigated laugh-
ter and delight. The entire business of the stage
wm carried on throughout with laudable accu-
racy and knowledge of " stage creel." Signor Du
Bausts ha.► the merit of drilling this corps of

juvenile musicians; and it is barely doing him
justice to say, the result of their first " Field Day"
does him infinite credit. His own pecionation of
the volatile and intriguing Barber is replete with
that kind of knowledge that appertains to veterans
only, and must ever amuse; still it is not the shaver
par excellence. His physical requisites are for a
perfect personation of the Doctor Bartolo, which he
acts to admiration. At the conclusion of the opera,
the applause was so continuous, as to call for the
presence of Da BEGNIS and his juvenile corps, when
they once more received a hearty peal of approba-
tion from their astonished' and delighted auditory.
We must again express our great satisfaction that so
appropriate a theatre, as the English Opera-house,
has been selected by the noble and energetic Direc-
tors of the Academy for these exhibitions. It is a
fit and . mei( gratifying compliment to its worthy
mauager, Mr. ARNOLD, who has the singular
merit of introducing in the nineteenth century,
the nearest approach to opera, properly so called.
Iu truth, the more perfect productions of this kind
ut his theatre, in an English garb, appear to have
uonphissetl, if not altogether paralyzed, the efforts in
this branch of art at our national theatres ! For we
look in vain for anything in the remotest degree re-
sembling a legitimate opera eitherat Coventgarden or
Druq.lane ! Surely it will not be asserted that,
possessing' such vocalists as Messrs. SAPIO, 11.
PHILLIPS, O. PusseN, Miss PATON, Miss BETTS,
Miss STEPHENS, end iloW Miss CHIME, real opera
is not accomplishable ? 'Twere to insult common
sense, and to outrage reason, to say so. No; there
must exist causes far the abwnce of such effects as
those that might be produce:!, beyond the supposed
apathy of the now eucreasing musical public ; and
we much doubt if the evil will ever be properly re-
medied until the active and energetic ARNOLD oh-
'
tains a fair extension of his now too limited licence,
and establish an bide/Jew/en/ and bona
O fide English
Opera-house.
