THIRD LIGH'r INFANTRY.

Friday se'nnight a Ball and Supper of the most magnificent de-
scription were given at Marlborough Barracks by the Officers of
the Depot of the 43d Light Infantry. The mess•room was set
apart for dancing, and from thente a temporary corridor was con-
structed outside the building as a passage to one of the barrack
rooms, which was elegantly fitted up as a supper room. The ball
room was decorated with flags and evergreens, and the floor was
ta,tefully chalked, the centre repre•enting the Itnyal crown, with
the initials G. 11. IV. encircled by a wreath of laurel, slid either
currier colitaii.ing a well painted emblematic wreath of rit4es, thistle,
shaturoek and oak; below the crown, at equal distance from the
centre and end, were the figures 43d, within the curve of a bugle,
(Is in the regimental breast plate), surrounded by a wreath 01
flowers. The corridor was constructed of planks covered on the
winkle with sail chili, lined with flags and decorated with ever-
greens ; at the end was an arch of variegated lamps crowning an
alcove of evergreens, which formed a most effective and picturesque
itemisation to the view from the entrance to the corridor. As
the gue•ts arrived tea and coffee were served up itt the ball room.—
Dancing commenced at nine, and quadrilles and waltzes beguiled
the time most delightfully, until at one o'clock supper was an-
nounced. The slipper comprised every suitable delicacy of the
season—it was truly elegant ; sparkling champagne and ocher wines
flowed iu abundance. After supper dancing was resumed, and con-
tinued until five in the morning, when the party reluctantly broke
Op. About a hundred Ladies and Gen:lemen were present.
FROM ♦ CORIMTONDINT.—It is said that Government are about
to raise five Regiments fur service in /rata. The Officers to be
taken solely from the tea-half pay list. The India Company are to
bear the expense of raising and maintaining them.

LIVERPOOL, Novak's* 12.
Our worthy Mayor has received the following letter
from the Right HonourableWilliam Hutkisson, written
on the 10th instant : _

" Richmond terrace, November 10.

" Sta—l feel it my duty to lose no time in apprising you of my
return to town (where I arrived about an hour ago) from my late
excursion to the Continent.- I trust that the suspension which my
shsence had unavoidably created in my relations with my consti-
tuents has not been attended with any prejudice to the interests, or
with serious personal inconvenience to any of them individually.
Is offering my acknowledgments for the indulgence which I have
tnet with on this occasion, I hope you will allow me to state the
satisfaction with which I shall now be ready to receive any coin-
nlunic.tions with which I may be hanouted by you or the inha-
bitants of Liverpool, and to assure you and them of my unabated
reAdiness to do everything which may be in my power to promote
the objects td which those communications may be directed.

" I have the honour to be, Sir,
" Your very obedient faithful servant,

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 15.

The LORD CHIEF BA voN sat in the Exchequer Chaim,
ber to-Jay w hear motto is in equity.

HUMPHRIES V. WILLIAMS AND OTHERS.

Mr. WILLIAMS moved that the plaintiff might be at
liberty to withdraw his replication in this cause, in order
that he may be enabled to amend his bill. The bill had
been filed for an account of the sums of money re-
ceived and disbursed in respect to the *hip Venus, of
which certain of the defendants were the agents; and
the application was founded upon an affidavit of the
plaintiff, stating, that on examining the books and pa-
pers deposited by the defendants, with their clerk in
Court, he discovered entries of monies received, which
were not set lorth in the schedule to the defendant's
answer.

Mr. PIOOT opposed the application, which he cha-
racterised as an attempt, from beginning to end, to
oppress and harrass the defendants. The agency, re•
specting which the defendants were called upon to
acct u•ls, commenced in 1806, and terminated in 1818,
when the ship was lost. There was scarcely any money
received since 1815. The principal agent died soon
afer, and yet the present bill was not filed until 1827.
Not content uith allowing the matter to stand over such
a length of time, the plaintiff had, since the institution
of the sul, taken every step which the practice of the
Court could admit of to procure delay.
I The LORD CHIRP BARON.—The only ground upon
which the plaintiff can rest his motion is the chance that
Mr. Williams may die before the hearing of the cause,
but the chance is so very slight. that I cannot grant the
indulgence on that ground. Besides, the plaintiff has
already run that chance by his own delay. The plaintiff
therefore takes nothing by his motion, and pays the costs.
With respect to the bill of revivor, and the delay which
must necessarily be caused by it, I think that it sill be
quite sufficient to bring the representatives of the de.'
ceased party before the Court, without protracting the
suit any longer.

HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, Nish 13.
LA !LLICIT&

This was the case of a French privateer, captured by
the Hercules, in the year 1824, and for which a motion
was made a few days since, on behalf of the seamen of
the latter, for head money. The Court then ordered
the case to stand over, for an affidavit to be made of
the number of men on board at the time of the caption.
Dr. JIINNER this morning produced an affidavit made
by the Lieutenant, which stated that there were 45 men
on board at the time, and theConu t accordingly granted
the motion.

THEATRES.

DRURY-LANB
The pleasant Opera of The Load of Me Manor was
performed here last night, with the male characters
very strongly cast. FANNIN sulThorted that of Sir John
Contrast. LISTON was the Moll Hagen, Jonas the
Young Contrast, and BRAHAIII the rummy. The
great master of song was again in the fall posses.
sion of bis unrivalled powers, and sang the music
proper to the Opera in his finest feeling and taste.
In some of the introductions, as is always the case,
he appealed to a higher tribunal than his own judg-
ment, and was boisterously encored in the 61 Blue
Bonnets." We do not remember to have seen FARRIS

play Sir John Contrast before: it was one of his happy
identifications, sunhat it was often very easy to forget
for the moment that the various modes of obstinacy,

humour, and good nature which be so faithfully repre-
sented, were not the actual feelings of the man. Jcierra's
Young Contrast, if not so novel, is another perfect spe-
cimen of the art in another way. If it be not an imi-
tation of human nature, it is no exaggerated picture of
many of the things to whom she has just given her
form. LisToN's Atoll Flaggon was incomparably droll
upon this occasion. Miss Love's Annette, and Mrs.

Jessi N's Sophia, ware finely effective.
The new Farce of Rhyme and Reason went off with
increased spirit, and kept the audience in continual

laughter.

COVENT GARDEN.
The Opera of kosina was repeated at this Theatre
last night, when Miss Birmo's exertions called forth
.he warm admiration and applause of another audience.
She sang 44 Whilst with Village Maids I stray" most
sweetly, and was rapturously enco,ed. Independently of
the fine extent, power, and quality of her voice, the
singing of this young Lady is rendered very delightful
by the happy use of those beautiful sotte vote effects
which always formed the greatest chasm of Miss STE-
.
rims in her best days.
London, England, 1828-11-14

THE HAPPY !MUM

Sir C. ROBINSON gave judgment in this case, which
came before the Court on a bill of exceptions, to the,
claim of Mr. Davis for salvage. The Happy Return
was a West India vessel, and on her voyage home was
wrecked near Beachy Head, and Mr. Davis, with 25 la.l
boaters, after many days exertion, succeeded in raising
part of her cargo,which was admitted to be of the value of
4,5001. For these services he applied to this Court for re-
ward, at the same time tendering a bill amounting to ra-
ther more than 1,000/. To this bill exceptions were taken
by the owners, and it was referred to the Registrar and
proper officers for taxa ion. The Registrar hAd made
his report, which allowed the whole of the claim, with
the exception of 921. therefore it w. uld be unnecessary
to go into the general chat acter of the case, but merely
!o advert to the items that had been deducted. The
L•araed Judge then went minutely into the various
charges, and said that he was if opinion that Mr. Davis
was entitled to 211. more than had been allowed by the
Registrar ; with this alteration he should confirm the
report, and decreed accordingly.

LORD MAYOR'S COURT, Nov. 13.

PEARSE AND ANOTHER, PLAINTIFFS; W. F. C IUNT LIN-
SINGENt DEFENDANT; JOHN CARTER, GARNISHES.

In this case the RECORDER gave judgment on an im-
portant question, as to the sight of Attaching moneys in
the hands of the attorneys of the Mayor's Conic. The
garnishee in this case, it appears, is one of the four
.ttorneys of this Court, and he was employed by
Messrs. Bebb and Gunning. attorneys for Count Lin-
sengen, in a case where Sir William D'Aicy Todd was
plaintiff, and Messrs. Cox and Greenwood garnishees
(that is, in the language of this Court, the holders of
money or other property attached by its process). Mr.
Carter, the present garnishee, was directed by Messrs.
Bebb and Gunning to obtain judgment of restitution of
certain moneys condemned in Messrs. Cox and Green-
wood's hands, at the suit of Sir William D'Arty Todd,
the plaintiff in the first attachment. Mr. Carter •suc-
ceedetrin obtaining that restitution, and he issued an
execution against the persons who were sureties for the
forthcoming cf the money received by the plaintiffs
under the condemnation which had been rescinded.
Whilst the money was thus in Mr. Carter's hands, it was
attached by the plaintiff., Messrs. Pause and Co. On
his behalf it was moved that all further proceedings iw
this attachment should be stayed, he being one ut the

four attorneys of this Court, and as such attorney pri-
vileged and protected.
The Count, in giving judgment, said, that on the
part of Mr. Carter it had been urged that he had not tl,e
full possession of the money ; that he did not hold it for
Count Linsengen. to whom he was a perfect stranger,
but for Messrs. Bebb and Gunning, by shorn he was
employed, and whom only he knew in this case. This
Court, Icing a close Court, in which none but the four
sworn a orneys of the Court could act, most suits are
conducted by Owe attorneys, not for the patties them•
selves, but as agents for the regular attorneys of the
parties. It appeased, beyond all doubt, that in this
case M►. Carter acted not as the attorney for Count
Lisengen, but merely as the agent of Messrs. B bb and
Gunning. It appeared to the Court, that from its con.
stitution, and such analogies as could be found in the
practice of other Courts, as to the attachment of moneys
or property in the hands of officers, that the money
could nut be attached in Mr. Carter% hands. The Court,
therefore, ordered the a•taehntent to be set aside.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WISIIIIMITZIP, Nov. 13.

DENTON V. WATERS.

This action, which was for false imprisonment, was
tried at Maidstone, and a verdict taken for the defendant.
It appeared on the trial that the defendant, vho was
a Sheriff's Officer, had a writ against the plaintiff',
brother, and arrested the plaintiff in mistake. There was
ground to believe that the plaintiff was aware of the
mistake at the time of the arrest, but he never told the
defendant that he was not the person named in the writ.
Under those circumstances Lord Tenterden, who tried
the cruse, left it to the Jury that there was proof that
the plaintiff was wrongfully arrested, but that they were
to consider whither the plaintiff ought to have said to
the officer "I am not the man."

Mr. CHITTY now moved to set aside the verdict, on
the ground that the plaintiff had suffered inconvenience
by his imprisonment, and that he was not bound to
state he was not the person named in the writ. He
submitted, therefore, that the •erdict ought to be for the
plaintiff.
The Cotrar thought it would be an advantage to all
the patties to put an end to the proceedings.
Mr. ADOLPHUS, for the defendant, acquiesced in the
suggestion of the Court, and it was agreed by the Coun-
sel on both sides to entrr a stet processus.
London, England, 1828-11-14

OODWIN V. RODARTS.

This wai an action on a bill of exchange for 901. 10s.
The case was tried at Dorchester, and the defence set
up was, that the bill was a mere accommodation
transaction, and that the defendant had received no
value. A Sheriff's officer, Lamed Mitchel, however,
proved on the trial that the defendant, when arrested,
said, 1.1 know it is a just debt, but I must consult my
Solicitor."

Ali. IRVING now moved to set aside the verdict, on
the ground that Nliichel had sworn falsely, and in sup-
poi t of this motion produced various affidavits.
The Court granted a rule nisi.
MUM V. WOODCOCK.

This was an action on jgdgment recovered in the
Palace Court. The defendant had been an insolvent,
but it was proved that he met the plsintifrs brother in
the street after his insolvency, and said, id I will pay
your brother's debt, acid tl.e debts of all my creditors."
The Court left it to the Jury whether the promise was
aissolute or conditional, and the Jury found a verdict
for the defendant.

Mr. TamaraEn now moved to set the verdict aside.'
on the ground that the Learned Judge (Lqrd Tenter
den) left the case to the Jury in a manner the plaintiff
could not have expected.
The COURT observed that the case had already gone
to a Jury, and refused the rule.

CROWDER AND OTHERS V. LONG.

This was a question as to whether Sheriff, were liable
for the acts of their officers in cases where the officers
awed on the suggestion of the party complaining. In a
case in which the Sheriffs of London had a judgmew,
an officer improperly sold the goods, and paid the mo•
ney to one creditor, whilst another had previuu-ly taken
possession of the goods. The injured creditor recovered
against the Sheriffs, and the Sheriffs subsequently re-'
covered against Long.
Mr.EvAtts now moved for a new trial, on the ground
that if the officer sold the goods improperly, he was
the Sheriff,' servant, and they could not recover against
Long.
The COURT was of opinion that the Sheriff, had a
tight to recover against Long, as their officer had acted
on his suggestion and for his benefit.—Rule refused.

REVIEW. AT Wootwica.—llis Royal Highness the LORD HIGH
ADMIRAL, attended by the Honourable Captain SPENCER and Sir
ions Flamm., arrived at the Artillery-ground on Thursday, at
eleven o'clock, to review the Royal Marine Battalion. His Royal
Highness having previously arranged with the Master-General of
the Ordnance, that the Marine duties of the Dockyard, Rope-
walk, and the Convict-guard, should be provided by the Royal
Artillery, the Royal Marine Battalion mustered in greater numbers
than we have recently seen them. The ground was kept by the
Royal Artillery, and in a manner that was very complete. His
Royal Highness was received in front of the Guard of Honour by
the Commandant-General FISHIR, the Adjutant-General Sir A.
DIXON, Commodore WHITE, the Heads of the Departments, and
a numerous cortege of Military and Naval Officers. Front the
Guard of Honour he proceeded to the Battalion, and the satisfac-
tion which their steady and soldier-like appearance seemed to
afford him was instantly observable. Soldiers could not look better.
The general salute had scarcely been received, when, a smart
shower coming on, some protection by umbrellas was offered tbr
Royal inspector, who declined it, with a gaiety that removed all
anxiety as to the fleeting shower. After passing in review order,
the Commandant, Colonel bl‘Cuaserr, put the Battalion through
thirteen or fourteen manauvres, beginning with " the advance in
double column of subdivisions from line to the right," and con-
cluding with " wheel to the lefr, and deploy on a central com-
pany," and the general salute. The admirable precision and celerity
with which these movements were directed and executed, called
forth the instantaneous approbation of his Royal Highness, who
most graciously conveyed his sentiments to Colonel l'il`Ctsvaexe
on the spot. The cloudy appearance of the morning, as well as
the passing showers, which continued during the greater part of
the inspection, confined the company chiefly to their carriages, and
the windows of the Barracks and houses on the Common ; such,
however, as braved the weather to obtain a sight of his Royal
Highness, CUM away highly gratified with that appearance of
health mid activity which promises the country the prolonged
advantages of his valuable life.

BARRISTERS AND ATTORNIES.

Mr. G. DAWSON moved for leave to bring in a Bill
to authorise Barristers to act as Solicitors in suits on
account of the Revenue, in any Courts of Great Britain
and Ireland, without any previous obligation of being
admitted as Solicitors in such Courts. The object of the
Bill was to lessen the'expense '
of recovering penalties
due for breaches of the Revenue Laws. The provisions
of this Bill were already in force in England.
Mr. A. DAWSON suggested that Barristers of Law
should be authorised,to act as Doctors of Law in the
Civil Courts on behalf of the subject.
Mr. HARVEY thought that the effect!of the Bill
would be to extend an injurious principle to Ireland and
Scotland. He could not see why Attornies should not
be as competent to the management of Revenue suits as
Banisters, and particularly as th t class of Barristers
who would get the Government business by the opera-
tion of this Bill. Attornies were obliged to serve a term
of years in learning their profession ; they paid more
money for their admission into it—for instance 1201. on
their articles, and 121. a year for their license—while
the only qualification necessary to constitute a lawyer
was to dine two terms in each of three years ; one day
on mutton and turnips, and another on beef and carrots,
and so the student became learned in the law—(A
laugh)—and was such a Barrister, so qualified, a person
fit to conduct a knotty case of revenue litigation ? That
solicitors were able to manage the public business, would
appear from the fact, that the Gentleman who so ably
conducted the legal business of the Admiralty for the
last half century was a solicitor, and so was his successor.
On the pal t of the solicitors, he opposed this Bill as one
injurious to their interests, arid unjust in principle.
The LORD ADVOCATE contended, that the So-

licitors of his country (Scotland) were as competent to
conduct the Government law business as their brethren
of England.
Mr. G. DAWSON replied, that this Bill did not
make it imperative it the Government to appoint Bar-
ti,ters for the conduct of the public suits, but was in.
tended to give the Government the power t,l cho 'sing
Barristers, if they sh ...rid think tit. The Government
had no intention of depriving the Attornies of the good
things of the law. The Bill was founded on the fact,
that experience had proved the emplojmrnt of Barris-
ters, at a salary, to be an economical arrangement for
the Government.
After a few words from Mr. Home Dattuatono, leave was given
to bring in the Bill, and it was read a first time.

It is understood she is engaged at the Opera in London
for two seasons, on most liberal terms. She is of

manners. On landing she excited much attention and
curiosity from an immense crowd of spectators on the
Quay, maAy of whom expressed their high admiration
of her person and appearance.

Ilianded the Royal sanctity' to .Bill .
to exclude frond
•he House of Parliament all those whoolessed the
doctrine of transubstantiation. what would have been
his Majesty's reply? Fire and faggot
the stake would have rewarded his temetity. But that
of which the Petitioners justly complain was, that this
species of denunciation not only exclutied from the
benefits of the Constitution those who professed that
dectrine. but tended to perpetuate animosity, and keep
alive in the minds of all those feelings of acrimony- and
hatted which were equally contrary to the principles of
both Churches, for both taught charity and brotherly
love. He (Lord Holland) believed that the Petitioners
wi-hed him to found a motion on their Petition, but he
thought that the discussion on the general question
would be sufficient. He shimld, thetefore, allow the
Petition to rest on its own metits with their Lordships.
The Petitinn was then read.
