instead of being this dangerous Corporation,

this, the Brunswickers have been unable to lay
aide their fears, or persuade themselves that

a Weak judgment, and a heated fancy. In the

CT T TirrEry o'CLocr.

We are exceeiling,ly dal this morning, both in regard to
information and speculation ; up to the present time scarcely
a bargain doing in Consols, which, opened at the same
price they left off at yesterday, St 4 for the account.
The Foreign Market is also inactive; Portuguese and
Brazilian Bonds are rather heavy.
The most important information received by the late
arrivals from America is the good understanding which
prevails between the United States and Great Britain,
which will be perceived by the following statement from
the Norfolk Herald of the Sth of May:—
ST. JOHN'S, Na w BRUNSWICK. —We are gratified to
learn that an official communication of a most satisfactory
nature has lately been received at head quarters, from
Mr. Vaughan, by order of the President of the United
States, in which the sentiments expressed in his inaugural
Address, respecting the relations between Great Britain
and America, are fully borne out. The General is pleased
to characterize, in high terms of commendation, the con-
duct of Sir Howard Douglas, and the whole proceedings
of our Provincial Government, in the case of our disputed
territory, and to express his cordial wish to facilitate the
adjustment of all matters in dispute between Great Britain
and America, and: cultivate the most friendly habits be-
tween the two countries, as conducive to the best interests
of both.

The above intimation, from General Jackson, is quite
different to what we were led to expect, as it was generally
known he Was hostile to this country.
Accounts from Tampico state that the females of Mexico
have petitioned the President, Guerrero, to allow such of
them as had intermarried with the Spaniards to remain
in the country.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

JUMBLE V. ',ARIUS.

&me time before the opening of the Court this morn-
ing, several gentlemen connected with the drama were
waiting in the ball for the purpose of gaining admittance
into the Court to witness this trial. We noticed the
plaintiff, Mr. Fawcett, Young, Cooper, and Keeley.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE entered the Court at ten
o'clock.

Mr. COLERIDGE opened the pleadings.
Mr. Sergeant WicnE stated the case to the Jury. He
had the honour of being the Counsel of the plaintiff, Mr.
Charles Kemble, who had brought an action against Mr.
Farren for the breach of a contract entered into to per-
form fur four years at Covent-garden Theatre. It was
unnecessary for hint to call the attention of the Jury in
detail to whom.' the parties were—the debt of gratitude the
public were under to them for the nightly amusements
they afforded rendered them sufficiently known. The
contract was entered into by Mr. Kemble with Mr. Far-
ram on behalf of himself and the other proprietors of
Covent-garden Theatre. By that contract, Mr. Farren
undertook to perform fur four seasons, at 31. 6s. Sd. per
night. The talent of Mr. Farren was too - well
known to leave the Jury in the slightest doubt as to
the great injury that Covent-garden Theatre had sus-
tained by being deprived of the services of so po-
pular and so eminent a performer, a gentleman most
skilful in drawing full houses. Though Mr. Farren was
nominally, yet in reality Mr. Price, the lessee of Drury-
lane Theatre, was the defendant. He it was who had
induced Mr. Farren to withdraw his services from Covcnt-
garden Theatre, for the purpose of drawing large houses
to his own theatre, and to enable him to offer those pieces
which were favorites with the public. No one knew how
to estimate the loss sustained in a theatre like the present,
by the deprivation of the able assistance of a gentleman of
talent like Mr. Farren. Charles the Twelfth, a charac-
ter in which Mr. Farren was peculiarly happy, had be-
come exceedingly attractive at Drury-lane, on account of
Mr. Farren being there. The learned Counsel would
call witnesses to prove the great loss sustained to Covent-
garden Theatre,—and trusted that be should be entitled
to their verdict.

The damages were laid at 1,0001.
Mr. Edward Mitchell produced the agreement entered
into between the plaintiff and the defendant, the execu-
tion of which he had witnessed.
Mr. Dakin produced a letter of the Ist of October,
1828, from the plaintiff to the defendant, denying that any-
change had taken place in the management of the theatre
subsequent to the agreement entered into between the par-
ties, on the 6th of June, 1827.
Henry Robertson examined by Mr. Sergeant WILDE—
Was treasurer cf the theatre. Mr. Farren had performed
at the theatre during the last season, but not in the pre-
sent. Ile had performed at Drury-lane since the 16th of
October. Covent-garden had sustained great injury from
Mr. Farren's absence. Several pieces were obliged to be
laid aside in consequence of the absence of Mr. Farren.
The present season had not been near so productive as the
last. The character of Charles the Twelfth, sustained
by Mr. Farren, had been particularly successful at Drury-
lane. Mr. Farren performs a very conspicuous character
in that piece.
Cross-examined by Mr. CAMPBELL-Had been Trea-
surer at Covent-garden since 1822. Attended the theatre
very frequently during the recess ; during that period the
manager has a great deal to do. He has to receive pieces
from authors and engage performers. Before the opening
of the theatre the performers are summoned to attend for
a week or upwards previously. In 1822 the plaintiff was
manager of the theatre, which he continued to be up to
1827. Messra. Fawcett, Willett, and Forbes were co-
managers. Mr. Fawcett was stage-manager. Remem-
bered Mr. Kemble going to France in August last. Did
not think he had seen Mr. Forbes during the recess. Saw
Mr. Kemble shortly before he went to France. Mr.
Kemble never told him he intended to retire from the
management, nor that he intended to increase the power
of Mr. Fawcett. Had heard Mr. Willett say so. Saw
papers signed by Willett and Forbes that were handed over
to Mr. Fawcett. Was aware in some measure of their
contents. Saw a paper of the 27th of August in the pos-
session of Mr. Fawcett.

The Loin CHIEF JUSTICE decided, after some discus-
sion, that this papir could be received in evidence.

. .
The paper ran thus :—" It is the wish of Messrs. Kemble,
Willett, and Forbes, that Mr. Fawcett should, in future,
have the entire legislation of the theatre, &c."--(A laugh.)
The witness believed the paper signed by Mr. Kemble
was similar to the one produced, with the exception of the
words "no interference." Believed the paper was with
the view of giving Mr. Fawcett the stage management of
the theatre. Heard Mr. Willett say Mr. Fawcett was to
have an additional salary of 2001., and that one of the
papers was an agreement for that purpose. Always knew
that Mr. Kemble had not consented to part of the agree-
ment. The plaintiff did not return to this country till the
season mninenced.

Mr. CAMPBELL trusted his Lordship would notice this
particularly.

The CHIEF JUSTICE did not see the materiality of this.
No breach of agreement could take place as lung as the
theatre in the Haymarket was open.
Examination continued—The witness ascribed the loss
to the theatre to the absence of Mr. Karen. The badness
of the times might he one cause.
By the Couwr--Matlame Vestris had been ill for a few
days, and Mr. Kean had fled from his engagement. A
paper was put in, admitting that Mr. Karen bad 51. a
night at Drury-lane.

Mr. MowroN examined—Read the plays and revised the
the cast of the characters. His engagement commenced
this season. This was an office new in the annals of Covent-
gardoit Theatre; knew Mr. Reynolds who was engaged
at Covent•garden Theatre many years ago. Had thy
means of knowing the course of management. The pre-
sent season had not been so productive as the last. Mr.

FaTreti performed the Nag of •S'ir Pei°. Tcazte s. Lrrd
Ogleby, which characters had not been brought thrward,
in eonsequence of the absence of Mr. Farrel). The wit-
ness produced• a piece at Covent-garden Theatre last
season.

By Mr. CAurnELL—Had not produced a piece this
season." Could not presume to say whether that had oc-
casioned a defalrati,,u in the receipts. His piece -• was as
.productive this as test season. Wrote the puffs in the
play-bills.—(Great I.mabt,r.)
Mr. William Blanchard examined by Mr. Sergeant.
WILDE—Had been attached to Covent-garden for nine and
twenty years.—(Great laughter.)—No alteration in the
management. The house had not been attended so well
this as the last season. Thought the non-attendance of
Mr. Farren was the cause.

Cross-examined by Mr. CAMPBELL-Was on the cir-
cuit during the recess. The Manager was probably in his
chambers while he was on the circuit.

This was the case on the part of the plaintiff._

Mr CAMPBELL appeared for Mr. Farren. He trusted
that before the case was concluded, the Jury would be sa-
tisfied that his client bad acted like a gentleman and an
honourable man. The Learned Counsel denied that his
client bad broken any engagement, or committed any
Breach
,of contract. He had never entered into any en-
gagement to perform at Covent-garden Theatre for four
seasons. Mr. Farren did not wish to take advantage of
quirks or points of law,—his case shou!d go to the Jury
in a straight-forward way. In his (the Learned Conn-
eel's) opinion, the piece performed in the Court of
Chancery, by the Theatre of Covent-garden, was the most
unprofitable piece they had ever taken into their hands.--
It was what he would designate a stock-piece, and per-
haps, he was sorry to say it, it might be the ruin of that
establishment. Time Proprietcrs of Covent-garden Theatre
having tried their hands at equity, were anxious to dip a
little into law. This put him in mind of the worth of
the Poet—

" Whether by common law or civil,
A house goes soonest to the devil."
The Learned Counsel here went at considerable length into
the case, contending that the appointment of Mr. Faw,ett
as lapislator and manager of the Theatre, was clearly an
infringement of the agreement upon which the action was
founded, and that Mr. Farren was at liberty to trawler
his services where he pleased. This agreement was with
the former proprietors, and was at an end'the moment that
proprietorship was altered. The Learned Counsel should
call Mr. Young, the tragedian, who would pro;t
that Mr. Kemble himself had stated he had given
up the management of Covent-garden Theatre.
Mr. Kemble was disgusted and tired of the management,
and had been heard to exclaim, God help the man that had
any thing to do with it.

Mr. G. L. Young examined.—Was performing now at
Drury-lane, had formerly been at Covent-garden. Was in
France during the months of August and Sept. Saw Mr.
Kemble there. Did not recollect at:what period this was.
The witness expressed his surprise at seeing his friend Mr.
Kimble there so near the commencement of the season.
Lipsn his making observations to Mr. Kemble, he stated
that he had done with the management of CoVent-garden
Theatre. Mr Kemble further observed, that the annoy-
ances he had received there were sufficient to make a man
a madman, and drive him to Bedlam and beggary.
James Robert Planebe examined by Mr. HILL—Was a
dramatic.author, had written for Covent-garden, as a win-
ter theatre. Received a letter from Mr. Fawcett, of the
date of the Fecond of September, 1828.
By Mr. Sergeant WILDE—Was author of Charles the
Twelfth.
This letter was put in and read.

Peakc—*Vas a dramatic writer. Was the author
of the One Hundred Pound Note, Comfortable Lodgings,
&c. Received a fetter from Mr. Fawcett, dated the 2d of
September, 1828.

By the COURT—I-ha written for Covent-garden in
1826 and 1823.—Mr. FAWCETT had the first piece he
Airote in 1823. Upon former occasions had had com-
munications with Mr. Charles Ketnble, but first with Mr.
Fawcett.

Vining was a performer at Drury-lane ; formerly
performed at the Bath Theatre. In 1828 entered into an
engagement to perform at Covent-garden Theatre. Ile
remonstrated with Mr. Kemble, upon being appointed to
perform the part of the Duke of Norfolk, in Richard the
Third. Mr. Icemlile seemed surprised, and observed that
he would speak to Mr. Fawcett with respect to it.
By Mr. Sergeant NVILDE—The parts ho performed at
Drury-lane were third or fourth parts.
By the COURT—Had performed his parts at Covent-
garden in October last.
Mr. Benjamin Turner examined by Mr. Thu.—Clerk
of the Stamp-office. Produced the Times newspaper of
the 2d of February, IS2S.

- Walton was a reader and corrector of the press
for the Timet, Newspaper. liad frequently received
notices from Covent-garden and other Theatres. The
manuscript of the notice published on the 2d of September
last had been destroyed. Had no doubt of having seen the
manuscript. Was confident it was not paid for as an ad-
vertisement.

Mr. Robertson never saw the notice produced before,
nor heard Messrs. Willett• and Forbes speak respecting it.
The Loan Cutter- JUSTICE thought Mr. Campbell was
not entitled to read the paragraph.

This closed the defendant's
Verdict far the plaintiff—Damages, 730/.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sta,—ln your Paper of Thursday evening you were
good enough to give part of a letter, headed " Extraordi-
nary Fact." I beg to state that the whole of what you
inserted was literally true, and that, as the writer antici-
pated, Po it has happened—the " aged tar" has passed
" the bourne from whence no traveller returns." This oc-
curred on Sunday night. If your readers have been af-
fected with Cupid's fidelity, they will be pleased to learn,
that one of our own species has been the constant compa-
nion of the poor old, blind, and deaf pensioner, for these
last thirty years; and, though bitter has been her cup in
consequence, she has not, night or day, forsaken him, and
even now she is attending to his last request, in keeping
him above ground eight (lays previous to interment. May
I appeal to your well-known fidelity to state, that she is
in great distress and want, and that any of your readers
will find her at 6, Cottage-court, Ship-court, Horseferry_
road, Westminster. Till Monday the wreck of the old
tar may be seen there. 1 am, Sir,
Your subscriber and obedient servant,
27, King street, Snow-hill. JOHN CLEAVE.

The Duke of CUMBERLAND and the Duchess
Of GLOUCESTER visited his MAJESTT yestei day.

It was Miss WYNYARD, and not Lady
MARY TAYLOR, who attended the Princess AUGUSTA at
the late entertainment given last week by his MAJESTY.

The Right Hon. HENRY ADDINGTON, our
Minister to the Germ nic Confederation to reside at Frank-
fort, arrived host evening at the Foreign-office, Downing-
street, in a carriage-and-four, from the continent. Mr.
ADDINGTON remained a considerable time at the Foreign-
office.

TESTIMONIAL TO Ma. o.CONNELL.—Yes-
terday a meeting was held at the London Tavern, of the
friends of civil and religious liberty, for the purpose of
raising a fund as a national testimonial of the services of
DANIEL O'CosisELL, Esq. J. KIERNAN, Esq. in the
Chair. On the motion of Mr. ANDER:mare, an address
was read to the people of England, congratulating them
upon the emancipation of the Catholics, a measure tending
to advance the general good, and proposing that subscrip-
tions should be raised to place Mr. O'CoNNELL in Parlia-
ment, where his talents might be exerted for the public
weal. The address was, carried, as well as a resolution ex-
pressing regret that Mr. O'Cosimar. was not allowed to
take his seat. Among the subscriptions were Lord Smax-
FOltD, 1001. ; the Duke of Nonyour, 100/. ; Lords
CLIFFORD and STOURTON, 100/. each; Mr. J. FULLER,
200/., &c.—The Meeting then adjourned.
The West end of the town was in a state of
commotion on Thursday night. The KING gave a grand
ball, which had, it seems, the unhappy effect of pro-
ducing snore angry feeling among the excluded than plea-
sure to the favoured few (if three hundred persons can be
called few) who were admitted. Louis XIV. used to say
" Whenever I grant a favour, I make one man ungrateful,
and twenty discontented." We suppose this is unavoidable
in Royalty to incur this liability ; it must always however,
administer consolation to the Royal mind to know, that
whatever may be the result of its acts of kindness, the
motives have been just; that no caprice has governed its
dispensation of courtesies ; lastly, that if any advice, from
any quarter, facetiously or bigotedly hostile to the noblest
of the I Ind, has been tendered to the Royal ear, it hat
been rejected with the scorn due to the advisers, and wor-
thy of a magnanimous mind, which feels that a King of
England is not the King of a party, or of a coterie, but
of the whole nation.— Times.

One day last week, in preparing a grave for
the interment of Mrs. FULLER, in the church-yard of St.
Ann, Chichester, a sunken head-stone was dug up, exhibit-
ing the following inscription :—" Here lieth the body of
Little Benjamin the Ruler, died August 21, 17479 aged
89 yearth",—Susser eldvertiaer.
