ments, were culled from his works, and given by'Northern Amateurs, with great effect. Mr. RAYNER,
of Covent-garden Theatre, contributed his services on,
the occasion, and kept the company in continued

the recent events at Rio had arrived there, and had

of the following individuals :—Manoel Carvalito deAn-
dride, as President; Senor Saldanha, recently arrived
from Lisbon, as Secretary ; and Dr. Bernardo, with two
Priests named M anis and Venancio, late Deputies to Rio,
as Counsellors. Jose di Barros, who commanded
the Pernambuco contingent at Bahia, and who hid
recently arrived from thet.ce, had been appointed Com-
mander-in-Chief of the troops in Pernambuco. in this
province the inhabitants were waiting with much
anxiety the arrival of the next dispatches from Rio, with
the intention, as the letters state, of declaring against
the Emperor, should he either attempt to assume despo-
tic power, or to reunite the country with Portugal. The
same sentiment was understood to exist in all the nor-
thern provinces of Brazil.
The following extract of a letter from Dominica,

« We are at present under the greatest alar.o in this
island. in consequence of a strong presumption of in-
surrection. Something in the shape of a plot is beyond
doubt on foot amongst the Negroes, who are impressed
with the idea that at Christmas they are all to obtain
their freedom. Examinations daily take place, and
a Privy Council has just been called by the Governor
on the occasion. The Assembly sent a Message to his
Excellency yesterday, on the apprehension which they
entertain of the state of tlie.colony : arms are to be is-
sued immediately, and it is sopposeJ that martial law will
be proclaimed. The watch-word at Roseau was, Em anti-
pation by Christmas,or the Whites shall be Blacks."

.•COTENT GARDEN THEATRE.--CONST v. MANNING.
The Court was unusually crowded this day, under
the idea that the LORD CHANCELLOR would have gi ctn
judgment in the above cause. On taking his seat, the
LORD CHANCELLOR expressed a doubt as to whether it
world not Ix necessary that Mr. Harris should be served.
Mr. HART said several attempts had been made to
'serve that gentleman, but they had all proved abortive.
Mr. HEALD said, Mr. Harris might appear without
being served, but for some reason the other side would
not do so

The LORD CHANCELLOR.—WiII you tell me where
be is to be found ?
Mr. CONST said he had seen Mr. IhirrFs, whn had no

wish to appear, but if he was wanted he mild very

.. .
easily be found. In fact, he had not instructed Coun-
.

sel, nor did he mean to do so.

Mr. HEALD.—We do not appear here for Mr. Harris,.
but for the Lessees, and it is consideicd that their inte-
rest will be affected by his appe.trance.
The LORD CHANCELLOR. If Mr. Harris is in Court,
and will tell me that lie does appear, that will do.
Mr. HART complained that the judgment had been
delayed, on,account of Mr. Harris not being served,
and expressed a hope that no farther delay would take
place, and judgment was postponed until Wedneiday.
