MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Monday, the
11th of May, was lost overboard the Neptune
packet, on his passage from Ostend to London,
Lieut. JOHN M•AeTnua, half-pay 79th Regi-
ment, or Cameron Highlanders, eldest son of
JOHN M'AuTutra, Esq. Paymaster of the same
Regiment. The .melanclaoly accident was occa-
sioned by a sudden lurch of the vessel, when he
unfortunately giving way from the weather-side,
was. precipitated into the sea, and immediately
sunk, alas ! never more to rise. A disconsolate
family remains to mourn the loss of a most vir-
tuous,-amiable, elegant, and accomplished youth,
alike beloved and respected by all who knew
him—aged 18 years, 7 months, and 24 days.
Yesterday morning a female, genteelly dressed,
was observed on the bank of the New River, at
Islington, evidently in a state of dejection.--
She was watched, till at length she plunged into
the water. She was instantly taken out, and in-
terrogiaed as to the cause of her making such an
attempt ; she at last said she was the wife of
a tradesman in the City, she refused to tell his
name, but that being unfortunate in business, site
had lei home tor the put pose of ridding herself of
a life which was hurthensome to her. She was
taken to the workhouse in order to be restored to
her friends.

THE THEATRE.

Dnuny-LANE.--The Beaux Stratagem, on

the most pleasant acting Mays in the Whole round
of the English comic Drama', was represented
last night at this The Acre. Though we may agree
with POPE,

" And ask if CosnuEves fools are fools indeed;
Yet we cannot agree with him in saying—
What pert low Dialogue has PAuQuunu writ;"
unless, indeed, where the Dialogue is appropriate
to the •characters, and where, consequently, it
would have been absurd to assien a higher• order
of wit and humour; The Play was well per
for Med, and deserved a larger audience. ELLISTON
was all animation and gaiety in Archer; Mrs.
DAVISON successfully blended vivacity and feeling
in Mrs Sullen ; Mrs. ORGER was very interesting
in Dorinda, and KNIGHT sufficiently diverting in
Scrub. The audience were more moral than- criti-
. cal, for they hissed PowELJ, in reference to the
'disgusting character of Sullen, certainly not on ac-
count of the acting, which was correct and suitable.
In Foig,ard, JOHNSTONE, as nstial, was excellent.
We cannot conceive why Gibbet and his assn.
ciates were dressed in such an antique military
garb," if it was ever military at all, while all
the rest of the characters were in the costume
of the day. It is to be regretted that the hero of
thiS excellent Comedy, Archer, is so very lax in
his morals, and. 4IMOS( so roguish in his principles.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JUNE 5.

BEFORE TIIE VICE-CHANCELLOR.

OPERA-HOUSE—TAYLOR AND WATERS.
Sir S. Ri.MILLY, in behalf of Mr. Taylor, mov-
ed, that the sum of 4,5001 as a part of the pur-
chase-money due by Mr. Waters, should be paid
into the bands of the Receiver-General. The
Learned Counsel observed, that 27,000/. had al-
ready been paid by Mr. Waters as part of the pur-
chase money of the Opera-House, and that the sum
of 4,5001. remaining had been allowed in the report
of the Master, to whom the consideration of the
case had been referred. Exceptions had after-
wards been taken to that Report, and it was, by
his Honour, sent back to the Master for revisal.
But in the mean time, whatever might be the
result of the Master's reconsideration, the Re-
port appeared a proper anti sufficient ground for
the present application.
Mr. HART, as Counsel for Mr. Waters, was
desirous to be allowed a Jew days for his client to
prepare his answer to an application resting en-
tirely on Mr. Taylor's affidavit.
Sir SAmErEL RomiLLv admitted that the Petition
was founded on an affidavit ; but when that affi-
davit related to facts, he knew of no better ground.
The Vice-CHANCELLOR, considering all the
circumstances of the case, thought it best to order
that the question should stand over to the last day
of Term.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 5.
The Court were occupied the whole of this day
iu disposing of motions of course and motions for

sel -for Mr. SULLIVAN were heard in reply, and

tween Mr. SULLIVAN, jun. and Miss OLDACRE.—
The Court will probably give judgment next
week.
