board, or is employed in disposing of his family
pictures, he still preserves that volatile exhilarating
spirit, improvident of the morrow, which so fatally
distinguished poor SHERIDAN himself, and is so
bountifully infused into this his favourite creation.—
In the library scene also, much of the strong effect
which the discovery of Lady Teazle behind the screen
produced, was attributable to Mr. C. KENIBLE; but
much of it also, it is just to add, depended on Mr.
Fa aerx, the representative of Sir Peter. There is
not to be witnessed, perhaps, on any Stage, a finer
piece of grouping, anl of what may be called cabinet
painting, than this whole scene exhibits, when filled,
as it was last night, by able performers. Lady Teazle,

Not only in this, but in every part ot the character, Mr.

Esquire, Banker I This Gentleman was bred in the
Navy and Victualling Offices, and has, for many years
past, been one of the principal Bankers to John
Esq. and his extensive family connections. His death
had been long expected by the best informed among
the monied interest, who had accordingly w ithdrawn
their transactions from him ; but the larger propor-
tion of his friends and acquaintance mem quite un-.
prepared for the fatal event, and by that his loss
will be very sensibly felt. his illness was. supposed
to have been occasioned by the great distresses
of his elder brother, an extensive and once opu-
lent farmer, who had ea' ly lent his name to the
firm, and contributed essentially to its credit.—
The immediate cause of his death, however, was the
sudden deprivation of his usual allowance of Malt, on
which he had subsisted for many years. He was at.
tended in his last illness by the State-Physician, Dr.
VANSITTART, who is reported to have experienced
the most lively joy at the departure of his patient, the
support of whom had latterly become very trouble-
some. His testamentary dispositions have been for
some days known to the world. The bulk of his ftiri

child is already in a very reduced state, and is not
expected to survive his father above seven years. In

nation, and took on board live stock and salt • provt,-
sions, with which she sailed to Port Jackson. Having
reached Port Jackson, she discharged this cargo and
took in • another, which she carried to Batavia, and
landed also in safety. A new freight being procured
at Batavia, the Juliana sailed for Mira°, discharged a
part of her cargo there, and with the rest proceeded
to Sincapore. There she took in some sugars for
England, and various other commodities for Calcutta,
which she delivered at that port, and then she sailed
for England. She arrived in the Downs with a full
cargo en board; but, unfortunately, she struck upon
a sand called the Kentish Knock ; and the Captain
and the whole of her crew were lost, except the per-
son who in this cause claimed his wages, and one
other individual, who, the Court presumed, was to be
taken as a witness. These two parties were saved
from off the wreck by a fishing-smack, which came
to their assistance: They had since applied to Mr.
Wilson, who was one of the owners of the Juliana,
for their wages : but he had 'refused to pay them ;
admitting, however, that the present claimant had
always performed his services on board ship in a very
faithful and very proper manner. The answer given
on the part of the owners to the claim was, that there
was an express stipulation in the contract between the
mariners and the owners, that they should not be en-
titled to their wages, nor to any part of them. until
the vessel should have returned to the port of Lon-
don ; and that, in the event of the ship being lost, no
wages for the outward voyage should be claimed.—
Upon this stipulation, the owner contended, that the
vessel never having returned to London, the wages
were forfeited, and the parties could not recover. It
appeared to the Court that, under the circumstances
stated, the voyage in question was a divided voyage;
delivery of cargo being to be made at a variety of
ports; and that, as such, it came under the general
law, the principles of which it was the duty of that
Court to apply. What contract might have been en-
tered into between the owners of the ship and the
freighters did not appear; nor was it material to
know: because, any agreement, however qualified,
between the owners and the freighters, would not
bind the mariners. If the owners had entered into
any such agreement, they were undoubtedly wise
enough in their generation to secure and benefit them-
selves by an insurance of the freight, or by some other
means calculated to preserve the just equilibrium of
their own interests. The seaman possessed no such se-
curities in his experience; his ignoranceof business had
not acquainted him with the value of any arrangement
by which the payment of monies might be postponed.
He was commonly enough totally ignorant and un-
thinking, and was on these very accounts placed un-
der the tender protection of that law, to guard him
against the consequences of such ignorance and im-
prudence. The Court, indeed, was led to believe
that many of the subscribers to these articles with
the owners, were " marksmen r that there were but
few signers on board. Whether the claimant him-
self was one of these marksmen did not clearly ap-
pear ; the particular instrument which he executed
was not exhibited : but the owners set forth that it
was framed in the same way as the other articles.—
At any rate, it might be said, " non legit derieus ;"
it was to be presumed that the claimant was not a
vet y expert writer ; and the agreements of such per-
sons, so imperfectly qualified to make them, were
not to stand exactly on the same grounds as those
entered into by other and more capable individuals.
Now there was, between the owners and the mariners,
this great distinction--whatever agreements the
owners might make with others, they might ensure
the freight against all misadventures. The law of
France, indeed, prohibited the owner from effecting
insurance on his freight; but by the law of England,
the freight, if insured, was as little affected by the total
loss of the ship, as by the insurance of the ship itself.
The mariner, on the other hand, by the policy of our
law, was not permitted to ensure his wages, in order
that he might be stimulated by the strong incentive
of his own interest to make ever y possible exertion for
the preservation of the ship to which he belonged,
and to keep with it as long. as possible. The mariner,
therefore, as compared with the owner, embarked
under circumstances of great comparative disadvan-
rage. The owner was certain of his freight at all '
hazards; for if be did not derive it from the freighters,
he could get it under his insurance ; and it must be a
matter of indifference to him under which security he
took it. But the mariner went to sea on his own single
security, and that of the freight. Lord Stowell then
proceeded to cite a variety of authorities and adjudged
cases, in order to shew that mariners had a right to I
go for their wages, notwithstanding they might have
entered into a stipulation of the kind alluded to.—
Among others, he quoted a dictum of the Lord Chief
Justice, Sir athan Wright, to this effect; and the
decision of the House of Lords in the same case of
Buck and Collis r and he referred to the cases of
Morrison and Hamilton," " Appleby and Roberts,"
and the sentence of the Court of Session in Scotland I
in the case of the Glasgow: Here he observed, also, that,

Muenza OP Mas. DONATTY.—TizAurs Poates Oirrtez.-61
Monday night, Mary Lyons and Jan Doria, persons of very dls;
reputable character, who keep a house of ill-fame, in Mill.yard;
iloaemary-laps, were brought before J. BALLANTIN; Esq the
sitting Magistrate, by Jeffreys and Bleary, the officers, charged
on suspicion of being concerned in the murder of Mrs. Donatty.
Information was given against the accused persons during the
afternoon ; and, by the direction of the Magistrate, officers
were dispatched to apprehend them. From seven to nearly nine
o'clock, the worthy Magistrate was employed in examining the
parties. Mrs. Lyons said she was a Jewess, and cohabited with
Davies ; she wss sisterinalaw to the deceased Mrs. bonatty,
her brother having married Mrs. Donatty. The officers stated;
that Davies was a reputed thief ; he was well.known to the po-
lice, not only front his associating with thieves, but also front
his keeping a house of a very bad description. The information
upon which the prisoners had been ipprehended was not dis-
closed. The Magistrate called upon them to give an account of
the manner in which they had disposed of their time on the
night of the murder, Saturd.ty se'nniaht. Davies said that he
was innocent of the charge, and he could prove that he was,
during the whole of that night, from seven to twelve o'clock, at
a public-house, playing cards part of the time, and dancing the
remainder. The Magistrate asked the sign of the public-house.
Davies stated that it was the Duke of SUWX, in Rosemary-
lane. The Magistrate ordered the landlord to be rent for, and
en his arrival he stated, in confirmation of Davits's account,
that he was, during the whole evening, at his house. The Ma-
gistrate asked Davies where Mrs. Lyons was during the night,
and if she was in his company ? Ile replied, that she was not ;
but he supposed that she was at Lame. Mrs. Lyons was then
examined :—She declared that she never was from her house
during the whole of the night in question. The Magistrate asked
her if she had any witness to prove the fact she stated ? She re,
plied that many of the neighbours must have seen her standing
•: the door of her house during the night ; but, at the moment,
ste could not think of any individual particularly that she saw
on that night ; but her business required her to be at home,
when Daties,whom she lived with, was absent ! Goody Levy,
the landlord of the Duke of Sussex, was again examined, and
he (in contradiction of previous information) persisted in his
statement of Davies being at his house on the night of the mur-
der ; he particularly remembeied it, from seeing him at cards.—s
The Magistrate said there was not evidence at present on which
he could commit the prisoners. He ordered them to be dis-
charged, but to be ready to appear when called upon. He then
dispatched Jeffreys, the officer, to give information of the appre-
hension of the prisoners to the Magistrates of Hatton-Garden.
lbartou-Gwanze.—Nothing has yet been elucidated of the
murder, that can throw any light upon the murderers, but the
inquiry is stiff pending with as much minuteness on the part of
the Magistrates as heretofore. The officers are also vigilantly
on the look-out night and day. Monday evening the following
witnesses were summored on the investigation :—Mr. Smart,
the High Constable, Mr. Holbrook, and Mr. Anderson, of the
Kent-road. Mr. Smart had a long private conference with the
Magistrate. W. Bead, Fen. and John Limbtick, the officers,
were afterwards called in, and received further instructions front
the Magistrates. Limbrick has received an anonymous letter,
which it is hoped will lead to some trace of the monsters. Yes-
terday morning the investigation was again resumed ; the officers
were in conference with the MaListrate for some time, as :o
what further steps should be taken. About two o'clock, Free-
man, an officer of the Thames Police, waited on the Magistrate,
and stated, that a man named Davies, and a woman named
Lyons, a sister-in-law to the deceased, of notorious habits, had
undergone an examination before Mr. IIatI.LANTINE, on suspicion
of the murder, but after the deposition of many witnesses,
who dryly proved an alibi, the prisoners were discharged. Mr.
BALLANTINO considered it his duty to inform the Magistrates at
this Office of the circumstance. The officer then gave the address
of the prisoners, and left the 'ace. It has been ascertained, be-
yond a doubt, that the murderers did escape backwards, nor did
they enter with a false key, as has been erroneously stated, for
Mrs. Donatty invariably stuffed a piece of raper in the key-hole
to keep the wind out, and that paper was found in it after the
murder, therefore no key had catered. The marks of bloody
footsteps were traced across the yard to the wall, which is about
six feet and a half high inside, but ten feet on the side in Mill-
man-place.
BOW-STAZOL...-YOUTIITUL DETRAVITV.-I)4ltit Davis, aged
11, and John Moors aged 13, were yesterday brought before Mr.
Mtesnuca, charged as follows:—The prisoners were seen by
some police officers, on Monday evening, lurking about different
shops in Holborn, and the officers knowing the character of
Davis in particular, watched them. Davis, at length, fixed hint-
ed( at the shop-window of Mr. Manning, a linen-draper, and
took something from his pocket, with which he began to work
away the putty from a square of glass and broke part of it out.
He had thrust in his arm and gut hold of a parcel of shawls, •
when he was seized by the officers. Moore ran away, but was
taken hid in a door-way in a neighbouring court. When they
were taken to the watch-house, Davis was heard to say to his
companion—" D—n my but i wish I had had a ciao (the
slang phrase for a knife), and 1 would have put it into the g—ts
of the rascal that took rue ;" to which Moore replied, very coolly,
that " there were so many of theselly-fraps about, there was no
doing any business."—They were bunt Iraq committed for trial
On the capital charge of breaking and entering, with intent to steal.
MAILY•ca-1/01nin OFFlClL—Yesterday, 'teary Saunders, a very
young man, was brought before lots Itawtaxsoe and KIMONO
-Geier:am, Esqrs. the sitting Magistrates, charged with marry-
ing a girl named Bridget Grayson, his first were, Mary King,
another young woman, being alive.—lt appeared the prisoner
had married Bridget Grayson at St. John's, Westminster, on the
10th of October last year, having only a few weeks before mar-
ried Mary King in another parish. The certificates of both
marriages were produced, and the prosecution against the pri-
soner was instituted by lit idget Grayson's brother, who shortly
after his sister had been imposed upon by this artful villain, took
her home, finding the prisoner was not able to suppoi t her, and
she was labouring extremely hard to procure vianas fur the pri-
soner, who was rather an epicure. Having made sante inquiries,
he ascertained that the prisoner had another wife, and he then
immediately had him taken into custody, and completed the
case by producing thewitnessas at the marriages and the certifi-
cates. The poor you.% women could with difficulty be prevailed
upon to give e% id suer, and they appealed everwhelms d at the
1 novelty of their situation. 'lle prisoner seemed delayed, act
, said lie had nothing to say. Ile was iutly committed tor trial.
