COURT OF CHANCERY-THIS DAY.
WELLESLEY V. BEAUFORT.

Mr. HIALD cossibagted at great length the Affidavit filed by Dr.
Bartley, and submitted that where an affidavit of equal weight,
and he admitted the high importance of that Gentleman's testi-
mony, was met by another equaril strong, the Court must judge to
which it should give credence. The Learned Counsel then con-
tended that the evidence of Picknell and Meara was wholly un-
worthy of credit, as they completely disproved their own assertions,
admitting that Mr. Wellesley did examine his accounts weekly,
and failing to prove the allegations of adulterous conduct on the
part of Mr Wellesley, who had evinced the utmost solicitude for
the care of his children. Picknell had risen from the situation of
stable-bay to that of steward ; but was it to be believed that those
persons, if they had shown, could not have made themselves masters
of every circumstance'—On the whole, •their evidence was un-
worthy of belief, and he would not trouble his Lordship by going
farther into the case as related to them.—The case was proceeding
when our Reporter left the Court.

this Society *as celebrAted At the Freemasons Tavern,
Great Queen-street His Royal Highness the Duke of
CLA fteNce presided.
When the cloth was removed, a solemn .S•ftedictuil was sung
with great ability by Messrs. Gottlden, Nitzoilliun, Attie., l'yfte
Broadhurst, Taylor, Bailey. and Nichols, the protessional Gentle-
men who attended. Alr. Hawes presided at the pi anol .rte.

Royal Highness, in rtitng to propose the Leal•h of
the KING, anticipated the delight with which the toast
would be received by Irishmen—(Lomd cheers.) The
S miety, he said, dare] its existence from the year 1784,
and since that period, his Majesty had been its steady
friend, whether as Prince of Wales, Prince Regent, or
King of Great Britain, up so the present hour. He bad
contributed to its funds no lessa sum than 8,2551. and
within the preceding three houri, his R iyal Highness
had received an additional contribution from his Ma-
jesty of 1051. for the benefit ,tf the Charity--(Applasse).
The health of the King was then drank with rapturous
enthusiasm, four tinieq four.
Lord DARNLRY highly eulogised the illustrious
indi-
s+id,Dxlwho occupied the Chair; and after dilating at
some length upon the merits which endeared him to
every Irish heart, -he proposed the health of the Earl
of Munver.
This toast was received with the same burst of feeling, which
followed the announcement of the preceding one.
His ROYAL HIGHNESS returned thanks, and spoke
in warm terms of the It ish people. '
The next toast proposed by his Royal Highness was—
" The Benevolent Society of St. Patrick."
Hisitoyat.•Hron Ness next announced the health of
the Marquis Wellesley. (Great appause).—For the last
forty-nine years- he had known that distinguished per-
sonage; and (luting that period he coulA bear the most
unqualified testimony to the great maks of the Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland.

L:

lout cheers.

ThelllustrionsCe AIRSIAN prefaced tote announcement
of the Duke of Welling: on'x health, with an eloquent •
eulogium on his character. He then alluded, with much
effect upon the feelings of his audi Ot y. to two periods
of his,Grate's life. Oil the morning of the gd of De-
ceniber, 1787, when his Royal Highnesi arrived in
Ireland, his Grace had, for the first irtne, joined the
58;11 Regimen; as a Lietiten•nt, and commagtded the
guard which _attended his Royal Highness. He was
then but an humble Lieutenant, and his R•iyal High-
ness had never seen him after till he sat at the table of
the late Queen Charlotte and his present Majesty as
Duke of Wellington. Where, said his Royal Highness
—in what country but Great Britain, could such op-
portunity of advancement be afforded to talent—itsbete
could merit, however conspicuous, ettain so distin-
guished an elevation ?—(II ear.., hear).

the plaudits of the whole company.

SPARRING AT THE TENNIS COURT.
Jack Randall took his benefit yesterday.—There was a novelty
introduced,—a match of single stick between two West Country-
men, in which the dexterity of that manly sport was very prettily
displayed. The sparring commenced Icy a set-to between Lennox
and Ga4zers and Jobastooe, Wallace, and Jones; Harry HAI and
Turn Oliver; and Scroggitts and Wednesbury ; and concluded with
a flue exhibition between Sampson and Crawley, he result of which
has placed Sampson much higher in the scale of excellence than he
bas hitherto stood, and gives him a fair ground for looking to the
" top of the tree." The single stick heroes succeeded, and hawing
taken their weapons, which were as usual, provided with basket
handles, they stripped for action. They were announced las Dui
Btackford (a butcher), cud West Country Jack (a baker). The Bated
wag to be decided by the first broken • head.—There were about
half a dozen assaults, bi which each protected his not pith ;peat
ingenuity ; in the sixth assault, the baker proved eidetic's, by
catching his antagonist on the check, close under the left eye; the
blood flew, and the conqueror instantly dropped his stick, and
claimed the game. The performances were wound up by a very
admirable set-to between amain and Aby Waste ; and such was
the skill of these men, that neither could make an impression, and
they left off perfectly on a psi.

One of the soldiers uf the 89th Regiment, stated in
oar Paper of Thursday asleing engaged is en affray with some
countrymen near Devote, died on Wedianiumm goinggqijcace of au
