ROYAL ACADEMY 3F MUSIC.

The pupils of this institution bad a musical performance on Sa-
turday, the whole under. the direction of that able master, Dr.
CROTCH. The mcert-room was crowded : amongst the company
were a great number of the Nobility and (hoary. The commence•
ment of the Concert was a Symphony by lIA vox, which went off,
with great eclat. IA ci darem was well .ung by Miss BRI.I.CHAN-
Inas and young SPAGNOLETII. Miss .IA RVli performed a Concerto
on the pianoforte with considerable effect.
Miss GRANT. a very interesting young Lady, sung Rossixt's
rabliracceo string*, with exquisite sweetness, and received the most
rapturous approbation. We have no doubt but that thi, promising
young Lady will speedily snake a conspicuous figure in the Musical
world. Miss WAvsas sung an air exceedingly well. lhe Instru-
mental performance would have done credit to the most able
masters. The whole performance was received with great satiFac%
tion to the company, and reflected infinite credit both on the Mas-
ters and l'upils.

Leonard Wilkinson, has been arrested on suspicion of being con-
cerned in the murder of Mr. Carter, near Bedale, Yorkshire, on
the 19th instant. Upon examining a field where the prisoner was
seen walking, near Constable Burton. the foot-marks had the ap-
pearance of the person having worn gaiters, the mark of the right
foot showed that the right gaiter had had a leather strap attacked to
it, but the left had none ,• and upon examining the prisoner's bot,a
pair of gaiters were found, the gaiter for thtright leg had a strap,
but the left had none. 'l' Ise prisoner is a very powerful robust man,

cl iratury of what are the powers, and what is the duty of the

may be aniended, when in the new Parliament they must be ro-
wed, I shall give my vote in the affirmative."
Saturday morning, about half-past ten o'clock, the
Lords of his MAJISTY'S Most Hsnourable Privy Council assembled
at the Council Office, in W'llitchall.place ; there were present, the
Lord Preaident of the Council, Lord Mixer, Lord STOW MA., I mrd
COLCHIGSTICII, and the Master of the Rolls. The principal Appeal
which came before their Lordships for decision, was Com the Duke
of Luxe/tau KG, against the decision of the Commissioners appointed
to hear and determine French Appeals; but his Grace is merely a
nominal party to the suit, the principal person interested bring Mr.
Born, a British merchant and contractor, who being present, their
Lordships, more especially the Master of the Rolls, occasionally re-
ferred fur information.—The King's Advocate and Mr. TY NIYA
Were heard fur the Cononissimers, and Mr. FONDLA NOUS and islr.
CAse for the appelluits. From the general arguments urged, it
appeared that the Duke of LUX DIRAC was thriven front France
during. the Revolution, and a question arose as to the time of his
emigration, and as to whether he subsequently returned. A prin-
cipal ground of appeal to their Lordships was, whether the rate of
interest was to be five or three per cant, the Commissioners having
allowed only the latter sum ; but Mt. CA Itlt, the Counsel for the ap-
pellant, Mr. Burn, simplified the Amount of the sum which caused
the appeal to be upwards of 145,ti00 byres. Although this was a
further appeal to tlitit Lordships, it occupied nearly the whole
of the day.
