COVENT-GARDEN TIIEATRE.-•--The interior prepa-
rations making ::t this The.:tre for the accommoda-
tion of the public against the next season, are on a
grand. scale, as a great part of the House is to be
new formed, and the whole to be newly painted.
LYCEUM.—The Haunted Tower was the play of
yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. COOKE were the represen-
tatives of Lord William and Lady Iflinor. Mr. Cocoa
was very successful in Lord William. Though his
voice is in many respects inferior to that of many we
have seen in the same character, his skill and taste
nobly compensate.] for such deficiencies, and he went
through the pa: t in a manner highly creditable to his
talents.' The song " Spirit of my minted Sire," was
received with the lnghebt demonstrations of pleasure.
Mrs. COOKE, had the felicity of largely sharing in
her husband's success. Her powers are very consi-
derable, and her execution has in it much u please.'
She was part:et:l;loy happy in the duet with Lnrd
William, at the commencement of the third act,
which was called for again, and repeated amid at the
cheering acclamations of an admirin,.. audience.—
Mr. •GA•rriu took the character of .?haron Oakland.
His performance strengthened the good opinion we
originally'formed of him.—The play was in other
respects cast as usual. Miss Keer.v was quite at
home in Arida, the other characters were well sup-
pored, and the Opera went off in very good style.
The new Farce to be produced on Wednesday
evening, at the Lyceum Theatre, is called-
and Flat. Mr. LIsTON performs the principal cha-
racter. The music by H.,ox.
The different parties who have visited the Surrey
Theatre in the morning, to see the Dog Gdert, are
snrnrised at his extreme apparent inertness; in the
ecd, n of the Enteitaiiinnnt, it is with the greatest
difficulty that three men can hold him from the bound
he makes at the Murderer.
i'...;eorertNo.—Sir C. BUNBURY has, is seems, resolved
bn starting the famous horse Sna Trio for the Magna
Charta stakes, at Egilam Races, stables having been
taken for him. The aike of YORK has a very good
colt by Ciles, out of Temtier's dam, in the stakes, and
some of at: Turf tognoicenti have a high opinion of h:s
beating Smoleado, which horse gives 51b. as the win•
nor of the Derby race.
Mr. AticiN, the pedestrian, started at twelveo'clock
lost night iron) London, to go to Ashford, in K:nt,
and turn, 110 miles, in '24 hours, for WO guineas.

Liverpool fish-market, each measuring ab. ut 7 feet

TRIAL, OF 11QIt. MAGIEE.
'tuts slay the trial of Mr. Magee, Proprietni of!
Me Emig: Awe, came on in the Court of King's.
&mix 'rite Chief Justice toot his seat at about 11
o'clock, and after two hours spent in waiting for*
Jury, twelve persons were had to answer to their
names. 'l4ney were about to besworn when Mr. O'CoN-
NEL rose, and applied upon affidavit to have the trial
postponed, on the ground of the absence of Sir Charles
Saxton and Mr. Pole, whose evidence, he declared,
was most material to Mr. Magee's defence.
The Court refused the application, and Mr. °Tow-
NEL then made several objections to the Pannel re-
turned by the Sheriff, but they were all over-ruled,
the Chief Justice, however, taking notes of many of
them.—About three o'clock the following Jury was
sworn :

rosthvraite, Thomas Rochfert, William I.Vatson,
•rhomas Andrews, AL IVlontb‘ontery. William Welsh,
Bleyden Sweeney, Martin Keene, Richard Cooke,
Richard Palmer, Benjamin Darley. Edward Clibborn.
Mr. KENI/4113, as junior Counsel for the Crown,
opened the pleadings.
The ATTORNEY-GILNERAL stated the case for the
prosecution at considerable length. He read the al-
ledged Libel, paragraph by paragraph, commenting
on it as he went along.
Four persons from the Stamp-office were examined
to prove the publication.
Some objections were taken by Mr. Magee's Coun-
sel to the mode of proof, but they were also over-
ruled.' The Chief Justice took a note of the prin-
cipal objection.
The Officer of the Court read the publication from
the espy lodged in the Stamp-office.
The prosecution closed here.
It was suggested, that in consequence of the late-
, riess of the hour (half-past five o'clock) it would be
di•s;rable to adjourn.
Mr. O'CONNEL, as Counsel for the Traverser, said
he was ready to proceed, but, that if it accommo-
dated his Lordship, Mr. Magee's Counsel would wil-
lir,gly consent to an adjournment. He, however,
thought it right to say, that unless it took place at
that time, he would not consider himself warranted
by his duty to his Client, to agree to it at any future
period of the trial.
The adjournment was agreed to, and the trial was
to be resumed to-morrow, at 11 o'clock.
Lord Kinnaird, the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
Sir John Hope, Mr, Secretary Peele, Mr. Gregory,
and many other persons of distinction, were in tire
Court.

in this publication, has just terminated.—The Jury,
aftet a short retirement, brought in a verdict Gull's."

The Catholic Board presented their Address on
Saturday to Mr. GRATTAN. The fallowing is a
copy or his Answer :
• I have the honour to return you lefty thanks with great
truth and sincerity.
• If I have laboured in your came, I have done no more than
my duty; and, though I cannot arrogate to snysell the praise
which your partiality bestow*, I do acknowledge, at lease, the
merit of hay.ng persevered all your service.
" For the pa,. disappointments attending my tem v in tl.e
caii.e of that perseverance, I now find some conseation, when I
pi tceive the truth of what you yourselves so justly remark—
" that prejudices have abated, and that a comprehensive policy
has made its way to the understanding of England." I found. in
the last Session of Parliament, the spirit of the House of Com-
mons, on the Catholic subject, to be conciliating : I availed my.
self of that auspicious disposition, and I yet trust that the justice
of your cause, the number of your friends, the ascendancy of
common sense, accompanied by a spirit of conciliation, will lead
to a co: elusion which shall be the attainment of your Id:re/ties,
and.the harmony and strength of the Empire.
" I have the honour, &s.
(Signed) " MINIM GRATTAN."
CATHOLIC BOARD.

STATIONERS HALL, SATVPDAT; JULY 25.
Resolutions of thanks were voted to,the Synod•of
Ulster, and to Sir THOMAS GRAHAM- -
A Resolution, binding the Members of the Boat
to attend in dresses of Irish manufacture, was also
agreed to, and the principle recommended for general
adoption by the people throughout the cottntry.
The hu,iness of the day being concluded, and Mr.
MtlloreNELL having left the Chair, an altercation
arose upon the routine business of calling another
person to the Chair, fir the purpose of paying a com-
pliment to the conduct of the former Chairman. On
this occasion the names of Mr. O'GonmaN and Mr.
Bacaer were called at the same time, by different
parties. Mr. Baoor is one of the Members of the
Board, of the more moderate class, who, being dis-
pleased with the recet:t proceedings, had for same'
time absented himstif fora the Sittings. Mr. O'Goa-
MAN lr..s al .v,ys art,tr.d.A. Both the names having
been repeatedly caked, and, as it would seem, with
some warmth, 00 pa a stop to the confusion,. !qr.
O'ConmaN :CA; the Chair.
Mr. C. STIGAN deprec..ted any spirit of the kind
which had just sheun : it must do incalculable
ink...l-y. It had afforded him sincere pleasure when he
saw one of the most tespectable Gentleman of the
Board, and one of those who had beer. called &ceder:,
enter td,e ; hat really, if such violent ebullitions
of party feeli,g svelte encouraged, it would drive away
es-trynooderate and reasonable manfrons their meetings.
Mr. Bacoi. now feit himself called upon to stand
forward in his own vindication. The term "ceder
had been applied to him—he disclaimed it. He had
never seceded from the Catholic cause, or from the
Catholic Board ; and professed the most constant and
firm devotion, in person, life, and fortune, to the pur-
suit of emancipation in the largest sense ; but if it was
meant to apply the term to his absenting himself from
proceedings stamped with rashness, intemperance,
and folly, he must in some measure plead guilty to
the charge ; Er in this sense he and several respect-
able Gentlemen with whom he had the honour gene-
rally to coincide, had absented themselves 'from pro-
ceedings which they could not approve.
In answer to some strong animadversions from Mr.
O'CoIiNELL, who termed it flagrant folly to hare im-
puted flagrant folly to the Catholic Board, Mr. BAGOT
said, he meant not to affix the imputation to the Board
generally, but to certain proceedings brought fos ward
At the Board by certain parties. A conversation of a
very warm nature was continued for some time by
• these two Gentlemen, each reciprocally vindicating
his own conduct. At the conclusion, each declared,
on the interposition of Mr. M'DoNsati.f., that nothing
personal was intended.

- edterdaya., _ fislesrAt
to this Olace, tinder -intspition &vim- iksid notes,
purporting to be of the Bank tfEngland, with intent
to defraud the Going-nor and CompaitY wr the said
Bank. The evidence adduced on shirt Occasion was
not fully investigated on account of OM wiinesnis,
being expected to come forward, but Mr. Lee, In-
spector to the Bank, attended, and bpon his interfe-'
rence the prisoner was committed until Wednesday:
neit. In the interim, the greatest Asigilance will be:
exercised by the officers to ascertain to whoM lit has
passed or sold notes, that such pertnns may be'
afforded an opportunity of such proof as may be suffi-
cient to warrant the final commitment of the prisoner.,
Yesterday Thomas Buale was brought to this Offices,
and charged bey ire Mr. BAKER and Mr. Sicerom-,
LEY, the Sitting Magistrates, with taking illegal ht-
surnnce in die State Lottery, to which he pleaded Mitt
Guilty. To prove the case, a young man, of the
name of Lloyd, was called, who had formerly been
in the employ of the prisoner. On his cross-exami-'
nation, by Mr. ADOLPHUS, who attended for the pri-
soner, he acknowledged he had lately been liberated
on a conviction for a similar offence. He had been
Agent to the prisoner to procure insurances from a
number of persons, and had taken him the number
he charged him with doing from a woman, named
Sarah Brown, and the reason he assigned for bringing
forward this charge wayhat the number the woman
insured hit, and the prisoner did not pay it. The
Magistrates, in consequence of there not being any
witnesses to corroborate the above, and the Act not
proceeding against agency, dismissed the prisoner.
HATTON GARDEN.—Yesterday John ilkoci, an in-
teresting looking boy, of fourteen years of age, was
charged by Catherine Taylor, wife of John Taylor;
publican, in St. John'slane, with coming into the bar, ,
whilst witness was in the parlour, and, taking advan-
Lige of her absence, reached over the counter, and
had his hand in the till on. her return. She could
not follow him, the counter being between, but he laid
nine.penny worth of halfpence on the counter. On,
his attempting to go out he was stopped by a custo-
mer, who chanced to come in, and given in charge
to a constable. The prisoner's mother, a decent.
looking woman, attended. She said he was an idle I
boy, and she could get no good of him, and consen-
ted to have him sent into the Marine Society, as the
only *means to preserve him from a worse fate. Ihe
' Magistrate ordered him to he sent, in the mean time,
to die House of Correction, until application was
made to the Society.
UNION HALL.—Yesterday George Woodward, the'
Clergyman, who, it will be recollected, was appre.
hended at Vauxhall Gardens on the night of the
Grand Fete, for picking the pocket of Mr. Charles
Deare, of Hat ecourt.buildings, Inner Temple, was
• again brought up for re-examination. Mr. Ives, the
keeper of the prison in Horsemonger.lane, in whose
, custody Mr. Woodward has been, stated to the Ma-
gistrate his opinion, that prisoner was labouring un-
der mental derangement. This opinion was founded
i on his flighty and irregular conduct whilst in confine-,
ment. Mr. Ives's suspicions !lasing been excited soon
after 11/4.1r. Woodward entered the prison, he had him
removed to his own apartments, where he could ob-
serve him more closely ; the result of this observation
was a conviction, that his suspicions respecting the in-
sanity of the prisoner were well rounded, and he sent
for Mt. Dixon, the medical.gentleman who attends the
prison. Mr. Dixon agreed inopinion with Mr. Ives, and
by his advice Mr. Ives placed a man with the pris, nor
continually, lest he should attempt to di himself any
personal injury. It appeared, that the prisoner was
in the habit of taking large quantities of opium. No
one appearing to prosecute, the Magistrate di.char-
ged the prisoner, and he was delivered over to his
triends.—Another person,, of the most fashionable
figure and address, was also charged before Mr.
EVANCE, on stopicionnt having picked the pocket of
Mr. Bunter, of Bermondsey-square, at Vauxhall-
Gardens, on Wednesday evening. Mr. Bunter, it
appeared, whilst walklng in the Gardens, bad the
pocket of his coat cut and an almanack taken out;
the almanack was not found in the prisoner's posses-
sion, but lying on the ground at some distance from
him : a Lady, however, pointed out the prisoner to
Goff, the officer, as the offender, and Goff immedately
took him into custody. Two persons now appemed,
and offered bail to the amount of £5OOO, if the pi i-
soner could be liberated. The Magistrate, however,
declared it was impossible, and he was committed.

THE LATE MURDER.—The police officers are j
making every possible inquiry to make out who the
butcher is that was said to have seen Ltary on the
morning of the murder, with a silk handkerchief in
his hand, resembling that the deceased wore round his
neck ; or the public house he was said to be seen
drinking in at twelve o'clock un the night of the
murder. There WAS no farther evidence procured
yesterday.—The body of the unfortunate man (Clif-
ford) who was murdered, lies at the house of a pub-
lican, in Buckeridge-street, St. Giles's. The house
is constantly filled with persons coming to view the
body ; in'the mean time, the unfortunate widow, sur-
rounded with five poor crpbans, and ready to lie-in
of a sixth, we fire sorry to hear, is in a most miserable
state, having not only lost her husband, but all savings
of their industry:
The PRINCE REGENT having been pleased to sig-
nify to Sir EVERAItD HOME, his wish to visit the Mu-
seum of the Royal College of Surgeons, in Lincoln's-
Inn-fields, Wednesday was fixed upon for that pur-
pose, and every necessary preparation was made at
the College. This edifice has lately been rebuilt in
consequence of a parliamentary. grant, and foams a
fine ornament to the square. The entrance t ) the
College was covered 'whit red baise, and the passages
matted for the occasion. His Royal Highness ar-
rived at half-past two o'clock in his carriage, attended
by Colonel BLOOMFIELD and Sir TIIOMASTtLIWI rrT,
and was received by Sir EVERARD HOME, Bart. the
Master, and Sir Wm. BLIZARD, and Mr. CLINE, the
Governors of the College. The PRINCE REGENT re-
mained in the Museum about an hour and an half,
viewing the various articles in the collection, and,
upon his departure, expressed the high gratification
he had experienced.
A medical man has discovered a method of con-
gealing mercury, by the aid of a pneumatic machine,
And the evaporation of zther. The experiment was
made in small glass tubes, which being broken, the
metal was taken from them in a solid state.
