ROYAL SOCIETY, THURSDAY, Nov. 16.

This evening the Society resumed its weekly meetings for the
present season. We regret to state that the resignation of the
office of Secretary, by 'that distinguished chemist, Mr. Braude,
was announced from the chair. The important services which
this gentleman has rendered to science, both generally, and espe-
cially in the discharge of his duties as Secretary, cannot be too
highly appreciated, and in his retirement from office the Society
will feel no inconsiderable loss. We were sorry to hear that ill
health has led to this resignation. -It was also announced from
the chair, that his Majesty, with that liberal and enlightened
attention to the intereits of science, by which he has been so often
distinguished, Itasi been pleased to grant to the !loyal Society an
additional suite of rooms in Somerset-place, hitherto occupied at,
the Lottery Office, fir .the better aceommodation of their
in-
creasing collection of hooks, curiosities, &c. A dutiful address of
thanks was voted.

The Meeting was in a great degree occupied with the election
of Auditors, and other formal business. The Croonian Lecture
was read by Sir E. Hume, Bart. V.P.R.S., on the propagation
of the oyster and other bivalves. This was a short paper, con-
tainining a variety of physiological details.

A paper wu also commenced on a percussion shell, involving
many considerations on the phenomena of projectiles generally, of
which we shall give a further account when it is continued.

Notice was given of the Anniversary on the 30th inst. '
• Nicholas Brown, Esq., one of the Commissioners of the Vic-
tualling Board, was admitted a Fellow of the Society.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

The chaste and beautiful tragedy of Vpmbeline was produced
at this theatre last night, and introduced Miss E. Tree in the
arduous character of Intopen. To expect the subduing dignity and
stirring energy which distinguished Mrs. Siddons in the deline-
ation of this difficult character, from an actress's° young and inex-
perienced as Misr E. Tree, would be to ensure disappointment,
and discourage endeavours, which, although they fall far short of
the excellence of whirls we have been accustomed to cherish the
remembrance, are sufficiently respectable when weighed in com-
parison with contemporary merit. Such was the character of
Miss'E. Tree's performance. It wanted the grace that. charms,
and the energy that incites feeling; but yet it was wimple,
correct, and interesting throughout, and in some particular
scenes highly effective. The indignant scorn with which she re-
pelled the insidious tempter, who sought to excite her to be
revenged by the sacrifice of her honor, was spirited and natural;
and when broken-hearted she offers her life to satisfy the unjust
suspicions of her • husband, the calm resolution with which she
proffered the sword, was appreciated, and deservedly applauded.
Cooper, in Posthumus, was correct and sensible, but occasionally
deficient in force. Bennett . played the treacherous Italian,
lachimo, and evinced the possession of powers which bid fair to
advance him still higher in public estimation.
The Spirit (!f' the White Lady followed ; thanks to the in-
comparable voice of Paton, and some well designed scenes by
Ilantield, it was well received. We were sorry to perceive that
the house war but thinly attended.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY..(Tess DAY.)
t 7; rARTI BRAINE.

His LORDSHIP states, that Mr. asked ti, Court
yesteiday to stay the taxation of a hill of costs in this matter, un-
til an appeal could be heard. He had read the petition, and
found a circumstance in it of a peculiar and an uncommon nature.
Theluestion for the court's consideration related to the motive of
taking out a commission of bankrupt—whether that motive was
such as to call upon his Lordship to destroy the Commission?—
There was also a great deal of concert imputed ; and what formed
the' singularity of the thing was, that the demand was founded on
a partnership deed, under which the parties to that deed were to
carry on business jointly, though they had entered into a cove-
nant, together, that they ahould not be considered answerable to
the world as partners. This was however, a covenant, which
the Court was bound to say, could be of no:effect whatever. Mr.
Heald had referred to a case which he thought a precedent in
favour of his application.
His Loansuir rernenbered the case referred to very well; it
occurred before the long vacation ; it was a case from Weymouth,
and the question was, whether a Commission should he allowed
to stand, that had been taken out decidedly with the view of stay-
ing proceeding on an action, and with no intention whatever to do
auy thing under the Commission ? The Court declared that that.
Commission could not he allowed to stand ; nor did that case hear
on the present. The Court did not mean to say, that there was
not a great deal in the present matter well worthy of considera-
tion ; blit the utmost it could do, out of respect to the Vice Cha-
ncellor, who had dismissed the petition with costs, was, to stay the
taxation, provided the applicant either paid the amount into Court,
or into the hands of souse third person, that the payment of them
might be secured, should the decree beloW he confirmed,
