Yesterday the banks of the above noble piece of
water were lined with spectators witnessing the met-
ley groups exhibiting their manifold evolotions on
the ice. On the north !sink there were nearly two
hundred carriages, filled with elegantly dressed and
beautiful females. There might be about two thou-
sand skaiters ; for, from Kensington-garden' wall to
the bridge in Rotten-row, they might be seen in every
direction, and frequently in close contact. Notwith-
standing the vigilance of the men belonging to the
Royal Humane Society; who went incessantly cau-
tioning every une not to ipproach the eastern end
where the ice was the thinnest, and the thaw rapid,
soon after noon, numbers, howtveii-had the teme-
rity to crowd together, and actually, It one time.
nearly a hundred narrowly escaped falling in, where
the water was at least 12 feet deep. A buy fell in on
the North side, but he was quickly extricated. At
three o'clock the wind having veered two points, and
got round to the north west by north, the ice put on
a new face, and in less than ball an hour, instead of
being sloppy, it bccame.transparent, and as bard as
adamant.
There were many foreigners among the slaters—

MILTRY•LANL—Saturday, after ties Comedy of
The Merchant of Brave; the musical entertainment of
Retina rail performed, for the purpose of bringing
forward two sisters—Miss E. and Miss S. HALTOM),

as the representatives of Rohm and Phsk. Their
. oppearance is highly interesting, and their voices,
which may be said to bear a sort of family resem-
blance to each othef; bout much sweetness and ex.
press:on, together with considerable strength. The-
powers of the Bahia of• the evening called forth par.
ticujar admiration; and almost every song or duet
in which either of the sisters was concerned, btained
tie honour of an encore. They are well -grounded
in the science of musk, and though not wanting in
sensibility, both of them tread the stage with be-
coming ease and confidence. The performance-of
!shirk to the duet, ,6 I've kiss'd and I've prattl'd with
tty lair maids," was uncommonly :good, and in
every respect the young Ladies acquitted themselves
so as to command the entire approbation .of the audi-
ence, who were judiciously liberal of their plaudits.

rough, commanding him to put the seal of the Chap-
ter to the presentation of a living which had become
vacant on the 17th of September last. Tile applica-
tion was founded on an affidavit from the Bishop of
Rochester, which stated, that after frequent attempts
to induce the Dean to hold a Chapter. for the purpose
of disposing of this living, he at length summoned one
at Peterborough two days back. The Chapter con-1
sided of the Dean and six others, and after the nomi-
nation of An incumbent being put to the vote, four
of the Bishops present gave their votes in favour of
the nomination, and two others produced the proxies,
of two absent Bishops likewise approving of the vote.
The nomination being thus agreed to, it only remained
for the Dean to put the seal of the Chapter to the
presentation. He, however, upon being called on to
do so, declared that he was taken suddenly ill, and
could not wait to attend to any further beiness. Ap-
plication had since been made to him to affix the seal,
bat he refused.

Lord Eurtatortntlon" Have you any affidavit
stating that the Dean wAs capable of performing this
act, and that there was any pretence in his indispo-
sition ?"

Mr. Dessean said. certainly not, and admitted that
the Dean, from inquiries made at his residence, was
confined. It was also necessary for him to lay his
hand, with the seal on the paper.
Lord ELI:ENI39IIOVGII said, there were not the ne-
cessary materials for granting the motion.
Mr. 'Dzustax said, that unless his motion was
agreed to, the presentation to the living would be lost
by lapse, as six months would have expired before a
nomination took place.
Lord ELLexaottocolt —" Then you should have
nominated sooner. You must take the consequence
of your own negligence:"
Mr. 1-UNMAN sod, freqoent applicatioas had been
made to the Dean to call a Cliap;er lOr the purgose,
but he refused, till two days back. He added, from
the shorine.s of the time which had elapsed ,ince he
received his instriictiOns, he had not bad an opportu-
nity of looking into the whole of the case and the au-
thou sties upon the subject.
The Court agreed that the proper affidavits might
be 'prepared by Monday morning ; but the question
was one of too serious a nature to admit of a Rule
being granted upon grounds so slight.
