THE THEATRES.

THEATRE.—:There was a very crowded
audience to this Theatre on Saturday, at the
performance of La Gazza Ladra. Th new
Eallet of Nina was repeated, and excited the
same applause and sympathy as on NCBLET'S
benefit on Fliday. Her acting, and that of
ALBERT, was again marked by the most expres-
sive dumb show that.perhaps ever appeared in
any entertainment of a similar description. The
performance extended far, beyond Episcopal
limitation.

DRORY-LANL.---MiSS"WrLsoN, in consequence
of a, renewed engagement, resumed her station
at this Theatre on Saturday last, in Love in a
Village. Her singing needs no eulogium ; but it
may be fairly said that she is much improved in
the ease and spirit of her acting. She received
a warm and universal cheer of welcome on her
entrance as Rosetta.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, MAY 5.

EAST INDIA COMPANY BAZETT.

Mr. TrimAn, from the Court of King's Bench, moved for a
new trial, for the reconsideration of an issue directed by this
Court, to try the val7lty of a Bill of Lading, for the importation
of sixty casks of. Indigo.. The ground on .which the present ap-
plication was made was, that the circumstances of the case
were .so voluminous and intrimte,.that .three of the Jurymen,
after having been absent from the Court for a very considerable
time, applied to the Court to relieve them from giving their ver-
dict, but the Court being unable .to comply wish their desire,
they in a short time afterwards returned a vertdct for- the de,
fendants.

The LORD CHANCELLOR Sad, " It does not appear to me,
that the question to be decided for theirformation qf this Court
could have received the mature judgment of' the Jury, in
the time elapsed between that of making 'their application to
the Court, and that of delivering their verdict; 'a.. new trial
must therefore take place, for'the satisfying of the conscience of
this Court."

On the Bcedtian
_effects of uncertain Climates
and damp Soils on the Human Mind, and on Ani-
mals fence naturce.—" The irregularity of climate,
the damp quality of the• soil, and an abundance
of marshy places throughout the principalities of
Wallachia and Mohlavia, produce," says an in-
telligent writer, Mr. WILKINSON, " a visible
influence over the animals of the various sorts
which are common to them, as well as over the
vegetation. The bears, wolves, and foxes, are
of the most timid nature; hardly any danger is
to be apprehended from them, unless they are
met in numerous flocks, as is common enough
during the coldest winter nights.—The domestic
animals are alsd remarkable for mildness. The
beef, pork, mutton, poultry, and game have ra-
ther an insipid taste ; the vegetables an inferior
flavour ; and the flowers little perfume.—Finally,
man, the chief work of nature, is here of a dull
and heavy disposition, with weak passions, no
strength of mind, and betraying a natural aver-
sion to a life of industry or of mental exertions.
Moral causes may indeed produce such effects
upon the human frame ; but here those of a phy-
sical kind evidently act in unison with them, and
with equal force."
The Beard CPI ensign of Nobility.—lt is stated
by Mr. WILKINSON, in his account of Wallachia
and Moldavia, that certain oflices in those princi-
palities give the rank of Boyars-of the first class
to the persons who are appointed to them, and as
such they wear their beards.

Archdeacon REEVES Observed in the. library of
Archbishop TILLOTSOIt7,O Shelf of books of various
forms and sizes, all richly bound, and finely gilt
and lettered. He asked his grace, why they
were so distinguished ? " These," said the Arch-
bishop, " are my own personal friends; and
what is more, I have myself Made them such, for
they meant to be my enemies. I have used those
hints their malice suggested, and frOrn them
have received more profit thanfrorri the advice of
my best friends. It is for this reason, as you may
see, I have rewarded them accordingly."
A Lady asked her husband what the difference
was, between exportation and transportation.-
111,y Dear, replied the good natured husband,
there .is a difference, and I will endeavour to
bring it as near your understanding as possible;
r.uppose that you were exported, I certainly
should be transported.
