.

Last night, h. 7 the aegre of Marshal lkectuett.
Me Opera of Pontaititenciteimidaeie: Furiotb,TheGrand
Al&nee, Itoldlliter Veish were performed at this
Theatre. The Noble Strang* entered the House
before the &sr Att of thaPpera was over, acifoni-
pained by Colonel 13R:clasp two Lades, and some;
thildrett. The party took their seats in the Paitica
IliMattes piiirate box. On the Maur-014's entering,
he.w:ts loildly cheered by the audience, *hick he re-'
,turned by bowing. During the night he seemed
mulch pleased With ,the performance. His party left
the •lheatre before the last Act of the Pantomime
wa. concluded. He was greeted at his departure in
the same manner as tit his entrance. The Perrot:nets
appeared to vie with each other in their exertions :
they received repeated applause. The Theatre was
crowded.-

•
Marchal &eeriest attended yesterday the Commit.
tee for the Relief of the German Sufferers. It was a
noble sight to behold in the Chair, Wilberforce, the
friend ef humanity, and Blucher, the deliverer of
Europe, for the first time interchanging personal Ci-i
vilities--tach yielding to the other the palm of praise.
At this memorable and numerous meeting, a letter,
with the sign manual of Frederick William, King of
• Prussia, was peesented, acknowledging, in grateful
terms, the spontaneous benevolence of Britons to his
subjects. On hearing this, and tome communications
from Germany, and especially on the Rev. Mr. Stein-
kepff presenting £192, collected by the Ladies Mee
lanthropic Associetion in London among their parti-
calm- friends, the Marshal addressed the Meeting in
German, which was interpreted by the Rev. leYr.
Mr. Kuper. Among many things which much im-
pressed the feelings, he said, " That destined by
PAOVIDENCE to be the instrumeht to conduct the.de-
fence of his country in a war of unparalleled devastae
tion, and necessarily for a whole year the cause of
muth additional misery, and not permitted to indulge
tie better feelings of she human heart, while he daily
was the spectator of the vast misery around him;
what were the peculiar emotions of his mind, now, in
the midst of an Assembly for the purpose of healing
• those very miseries, he was unable to express by
words ; but if those within the room could lay their
hands rei his heart, .they would then Letter conceive
his feelings, by the manner in which it throbbed with
gratitude fur the kindness and generosity of the Bri-
tish nation. That for alt' the exertions with which he
had contributed to the general triumph lie was amply'
rewarded by the ffatterteg manner in le hieli he had
been received in this country- The few days he had
- passed. le-re had made hen forget his anxious toils,.
and were the happiest of his lile—yet nothing could'
afford him higher gratification than in being able
to shew his grateful attention to a Committee,
through whom his country had been so generous!,
taken care of by the benevolence of the English."
Here the Marshal seemed almost overpowered by
his feelings, which indeed had communicated them-
selves to every one present ; hut, turning to the La-
' dies, m ely of whom were present to see the gallant
Veteran, he added, with an emphasis which attested,
his truth, " that he felt highly tee kindness and spit-
. parity of the British Ladies ;" and. with much polite-
ness &tie, " that if he had not a wife and family, en#
titled to his highest regards, he should feel stroeg
. temptations not to stir his foot from E.ngland." lni
a ;Denney the most graceful and touching, he said,
that he attended the Committee, toPresent the thanks
of his countrymen ; and on tieing requested to be at
the Mesical Festival on the 28th instant, he said, tlut
when the Royal Family of England Wad condescended
to be there, for the benefit of the sufferers on the
Continent, he should Make a point of being there eiso,
and that rather than be alisent on such a benevolent
occasien, lie would return to London, and protract
his stay beyond kris original intention. On taking
leave, he expressed his particular thanks to the Chair-
' Than, Treasurer, and Secretaries, with whom he shook
hands, as he did also with th:Ladies, and many of
the Committee, and-withdrew, amid plaudits, which
were loudly continued by those who waited to see him
te-enter his carriage.

The loltowiag anecdote may not be unacceptable :
—On the morning of the journey of the illustrious
• Monarchs to London, two foreign Gentlemen drove
eip in a coach and lour to the Rose Inn, at Sitting-
. bourn, and on alighting% were 'hewn into a sm
room by the landlord's daughter, with apologies for
'their inability to accommodate them better, as they
tvere much engaged in preparations for the Emperor
. and King, who erre expected very shrilly to change
horses and beeakfast there, and teen withdrew. 011
a .waiter appeering,, they inquired the landlord's
name, and being informed it was Ballard, and that
..she young lady was his Jetliner, one of the gentle
„men asked if it was not custourery,for the landlady
*soma of her family to make breakfast for their

They said it Was, art&stre caine en far that purpose :

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, ICNE
The ATTORNEY GENERAL reminded his Lordship
that to-morrow was the day appointed for sitting at
in the City ; but owing to the recent Fete, and
the use to which the Coon had been put on that oc•
casion, he feared it would be impossible his Lordship
could sit there to-Morrow.
Lord ELLissoitoucat said, that this circumstance
had occurred to his mind, and he therefore deferred
the Sittings till Friday, which being a holiday, he
Would devote the whole of it to trying causes.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL expressed his apprehen-
sion that the Court would not be ready by that day
,even.
Lord ELLENITOROUGII....." I dare not d.fer the Sit-
tings ant longer. If Ido so the suitors would lose
their term. I doubt not but we shall find sonic stool
or block of wood on which we can bit and dispatch
public business. I shall certainly be at Guildhall on
Ffiday morning at nine o'clock."

DAVIES V. NICROLLS AND BYRNE.
This action was brought to recover RlO4, for work,
Labour and materials.

The .ATTORNEY GENENAL stated, that the plaintiff
was a most ingenious engineer, and the defendants
were tanners in Bermondsey. The bill was for a ma-
chine most excellently done.
Middleton &posed, that a mill was fixed of double
power on the premises of the defendants, to grind dvu-
-ble the quantity of bark by means of one horse, that
could otherwise be worked by two. - In cross-exatui-
, nation he said, that one horse alter grinding three
cwt. was a little warm ; and fartlwr stated, that he
did hear the defendants find fault with the marline.

The defendants put in an agreement, in ‘vbich
Da-
vies undertook to build the machine for £6O, and
which should have sts.much power with one h ,rte as
the one which was to be removed aid with two horses ;
and that if it did not accomplish thus much, he ye ouid
restore the old one within a month.

Lord ELLENBOROUGH held, that .this agreement
ought to have been entered on the RecorJ, and as it
was not so entered, there must be a non suit, which
was accordingly entered.
HENLEY St CAWTHORNE, ASSIGNEES OF LLGTH,
This was to recover back. goods seized in execu-
tion at the White Lion, l'adaingcon ; but the ques
tions to be tried Welke, whether Lloyd was to he con-
sidered a trader within the'rneaning of the Bankrupt
• Laws, and whether he had 'committed an act of bank-
ruptcy before the 3d of August last ?
The bar-maid provedibas beer,spirits, hay,loaves,
&c. were sold in the house and nut of the Num, and
that he was denied to one of his creditcfrs on the 30:11
of July, who was going to butler hint for money."
In cross-examination °she said that although he was
denied on the 30th of July, when the said creditor
called again, and was out of the way for two hours,
yet that he attended to his business afterwards till the

time of the execution. Th at when the creditor called
on the day last named, he only asked for Llnyd, tint
requiring money : but Lloyd said, as a pretext for
going out of the way, that sue)? person was coming to
bother him for money.
Lord ELLE:Nl:dem:cat held, that this was what had
been ordinarily coosideted evidence sufficient of a be-
ginning to keep house.
Mr. ToPPING not being in condition to meet the evi-
dence which had been given,
A verdict was returned for the plaintiff.
COURT OF CHANCERY

EX-PARTE THE ASsIGNEFS OF ROBINSON AND CO. IN

THE A 4 rrkut or SHARPE AND ;ONS,

Mr. HART stated, this was a motion on the behalf
of the assignees of Robinson And CO. that his Lord-
ship would direct the following issues, wh;ch he had
maje a minute of. He was confident that his L-rd-
ship must reco.lect the case, as he made an order on
it so late as the 'nth of Mar:h, cm the petition of Cap-
tale Kenney and the crew of the ship Warje, South.'
Sea whaler, that a receiver might be appointed, and
that they might receive their aliquot ratios. The cir-
cumstances weir, that when the ship wet fitted out
she belonged to Robinson, Clarke, and Co. and they
assigned her registry Over to Sharpe and Sons ; and
both parties having become haeklupts, the Captain
refused to dcfiver the cargo or ship to either. The
,ssues he would propose would put the question at
rest, viz. Whether Sharpe and Sous wertvin posses-
si,,n of the ship at the time ofstireir bankruptcy ? He
was of opinion that the Act of 21 James H. would
put an end to the question ; but, if the Court and
'Jury were of a &Herein opinion, thverthe second issue
would be to try, whether it was the property of Ro-
binson and Co. ? . The third issue would be, to try
Who the implements, necessary for carrying on the
fishery belonged to ? And the fourth issue, to try
whether the assignees of Robinson and Co. were en-
titlecrto the outfits (f. the ship ? He (the. Learned
Counsel). was not aware there could- be any ohjettion
'co this motion.

Sir. SAMUEL ROMILLV, Ofi the other side, asid), that
action had been alleady brought, whiclrhail itrctin-
semptation all that way asked tor, which would make
the 'fides altogether unnecessary, and it had non been
stated they had foregone those actions. He then
contended, that'llis lordship had tui jurisdiction, as

Mr. AGAR moved that Mr. Gammon, who had

of the cargo of the ship Water, shotild pay into the

a motion of course, as there could be no difficulty in

Mr. Bet. stated, he had a similar motion on the

seameas' shares.. •
The Lone CHANCiMr.SII,-•.--" I s!lotilti like to see

Mr.AGAII—es 1 hate seen the assignments, and they
promise to give uce.to the parties any sum that may
be received, above that advanced, bearing interest."
The Loon CIIANCELLOE—,, We must always look
at those kind of causes with suspicion. It is my judi-
, cial duty to protect seamen, as well. as any other of
his Majesty's subjects. I only -.recollect one case
where a cirsumstance of this kind was honestly exe-
cuted :—it was an attorney at Portsmouth, who
went on boeld a ship of war, to draw up a sailor's
will ; all the sailors insisted he should pc rform the
same for tlierh, and they made hie) their general le-
gatee. The ship and all on board were lost at sea ;
the attorney went to Doctors' Commons, preyed the
wills, but gave up his right as legatee. You n,ust,
Mr. Agars produce those assignments, before I can
think et makine an order."--Motion postponed.
COURT or COMMIN Pl.E.vt, JUNE 22.
K EENE IV. ewe-.
This was an action brought tor £7O, represented to
fhe balance of an ace, tint ter materials of various
descriptions, furnished to the defendant, to be employ-
ed in brick-making.
Mr. Seijeant Bilq% who appeared for the plaintiff,
c died Tyson Keene as a winless, Mho represented
that considerable qu intities of straw and send were
provided for the delendiet's brick fields, at various
periods ; and on one patticular occasions the defen-
dant requested him, after the goods were delivered,
to draw out a bill, iistineuishing the fields for which
they were procured, and likewise persuaded-11CM to
insert the name of one Allen, whom he had never
heard of before. The amount of the balance due was
proved, likewise the eeasenableness of the account,
and two fetters of the'delendant's writing were • pro.
duced, in one of which he promised to In 'le_ every
thing pleasant to the plaintiff, and in the other to pay
the balmier of account as soon as he should procure
money.
Mr. Set-leant Pule on the part of the defendant,
maintained that Allen, in whose name the bills had
been delivered, was the proprietor of the brick fields
for which the straw and sand had been furnished, and
that Kelly was only his foreman, and was not respon-
sible for the debts contracted by his employer. In
proof of this account he called a person of the name
of Alf rey, who proved that formerly he paid the plain.
tiff a, considerable sum on Allen's account, for elates
riels furnished to his two brick-fithis, in which the de-
tendent was foreman ; but he proved at the same time
that the defendant had authorised him to pay a sum
of £lO in the plaintiff for materials furnished to him
of the same description.
Lord Chief Justice Gums summed lip the evidence
and the Jury, found a verdict for the plaintiff of £7O.

As Mr. WARRAND, of Kentish Town, was passing
on Tue. Way night, about eleven o'clock, across the
fields from tare Veterinary College, his attention was
attracted by the voice of a child, apparently soothing
another. Surptised at such a circumstance, at such •
an hour, he proceeded tr, the spit, and found a little
girl, not iv( re, than four years of age, and a little boy,
about two years old, whom the'former had carefully
wrapped up in her frock, and was soothing to sleep.
Mr. W. interrogated the girl as to the cause of he r si.
tuation ; when she stated, that she had qi.itted home,
Kith her brother, in the morning, to get flowers, and
not knowing the way back, had lain down till their
Mamma came. Mr. W. instantly carried 'them to
his own house, and gave them some food, of which
they had not partook since their breakfast ; and yes.
tetday, from the description given by the girl, restored
them to their pareas, who reside in the neighbour-
hood of Gray's•lnn.
Last week as a farmer was in search of a strayed
ox on Halsdown, about six miles from Exeter, at
little distance fro:'n the road, lie discovered a man
lying in the thicket, strenost lifeless, with his hands
and legs tied fast together. It appeals the poor man
(called G. Blatichlield) was knocked down and rob-
bed by three footpads (seamen) on Sunday tie Sd
instant, who having rifled him of all he livid, about
sls, deliberated on murdering him, but afterwards
agreed to bind him fast and throw him ihto a hedge ;
he remained in this cruel situation, without any sus-
tenance, for seven days, and notwithstanding, when
the tarts.r liberated him he had strength enough left
to crawl to Starcrosa, upwards of five miles d stance.
—He says he suffered intolerable distress from the
swarms of insects and vermin of the common, which
attacked and torMentedbitn, without his being able
as dislodge them'from his bo4.
