THEATRES.

OnRA House.—The Opera Le Heroism di Raab
has been revived at this House, and was last night
presented for the first time these four years. The
character of the piece is that of love, mingled with.
heroic action, which is imparted through the agree-
able• medium of some very pleasing music. The
scenery and dresses are new and very splendid, and
the Opera, we think, bids fair for being a favourite
with the public. Madame Sesst greatly distinguished
herself in the support of her character, Jella, both as
. to power and sweetness of voice, and• her judicious
execution of several very difficult passages, which
appeared to electrify her audience, who encored her
performance, and honoured her with repeated bursts
of applause. itlignnr Rama, Signor Gem, and La
• VASSICUR, were also happy in 'the delineation of their
characters, and sang in .good voice, and with great
attention to the music. Le Prince Troubadour- again
presented the Corps de Ballet in all the agreeable
variety of attitude, which renders this piece such A'
favourite with the audience, who were fashionable,
and very numerous.
CoVENT O'Naten last night ap.
pearei as Vrs. Beverky, in- the Tragedy of The
Gamester. The same beauties which we have before
described in Miss O'Nent.'s performance of this cha-
racter, were again manifested. In the early scenes,
grace and elegance—in the interview with Stably,
where he makes his infamous proposal, the most
pointed indignation—in the prison scene, wretched-
ness :..d despair—marked the beautitully-connected
series or Miss O'Netzt.'s exertions, in this character.
Her dress, which is now of crimson velvet, is-.grand
and tasteful, but not at all heavy. The House was
very full. The Bose, were uncommonly brilliant,
and, in point of female !,esuty, they were rivalled by
tit. ?ii We never recoiiect that part of the Theatre
to have presented se many elegant females as it last
night displayed.—.We observed in the Buses the
Earl of POMFRET, Sir E. HAIIVILIV. Lady &saves,
Lady THROCIIKOIITOX, Lady Laxcnox, &c. •

COURT OF CHANCERY, APRIL 4.

Igl V. LEWIS Art) OTHERS.
In this case, application was made to the Court to
dissolve an injunction, and also thit the Receiver
might be compelled to pay over the produce "of cer-
tain.estates into the hands of the Accountant Gene-
ral. The defendants were executors, under the will
of Mr. Mootham deceased. who had bequeathed cer-
tain annuities to his wife. his two daughters, and his
sou ; and Lewis, one of the defendants, a Solicitor,
was appointed to carry the trusts into execution.—
The property in dispute amounted to a very large
sum. Lewis, in consequence of certain transactions,
in which he bad been engaged, found it expedient to
quit this country, steal a Commission of Bankrupt
was issued against hiit'.
Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY was heard in support of the
application, and Mr. LEACH on the other side.
The Count suggested. that for the benefit of the
annuitants, and the other parties interested in the will,
' it, would be better to allow the money remaining in
trust to be paid over to the Accountant General.
To this suggestion, it was stated that there was no
objection, but the matter stood over, in order that the
Counr may examine certain papers in the suit..

ger. Mr. Mainwaring's safety. Mr. Main baring torsi(
no notice, however, and the defendant then drove so
close to the groom's horse as io touch him. The
groom remonstrated, on which the defendant seized
him, pulled him off his Lc. se, and struck him several
times. Mr.. Mainy..tring pfrceiving what was going

Mr. Maira,aring I,y the collar, and attempted to
pull. him off his It..rse. Two Gentlemen; however,
who were passing at the time, interfered, and rescued

At Itlirgton, on the 19th uk James Dinwithite, LL.D. This
gentleman was celebrated throughout lib., not only fur his taint.
and scientific acquirements, but fur his antiabl; and
manners. In early life he pursued the honourable career of a
teacher of youth, and for many yea -s tilled the office of teacher
of the mathematical school of Dutnfries. Dr. Ilitiwiddie after-
wards distinguished himself as a public lecturer of t various
branches of science, in whick capacity he visited the chief cities
of the kkidsb empire. Having attracted the notice-of lAir.l Ma-
cartneyi he was selected by that Nobleman to a:company thy
