COVENT-GARDEN THEA tRE.

JOy at the resale a the proceedings against
_ the
QUEEN wai manifested last night at this Theatre in
thh siiongest and most marked manner. The Play,
which was Twelfth Night, with the recent alterations,
had no sooner concluded, than a general cry arose
from every part of the House for God save the Quern.
This call was frequently repeated, and completely
drowned the sound of the music in the orchestra
when a symphony was played between the acts.'-The
curtain at last drew up for the Farce of A Rolsrwil
for an Oliver, and the Performers in the first scene
came forward, but they endeavoured in vain to make
themselves heard. The cries of " Off; off," and
" The Queen," were loud and incessant. The Per-
formers obeyed the order to retire, and Mr. ABBOT
came on the Stage, and addressed the audience. It
was, however, impossible to hear a word he said ; but,
in consequence of some communication which passed
between him and part of the audience nearest him in
the pit, a great number of the Performers came on
the Stage, and the orchestra played Rule Britannia.
It appeared to have been expected that this would
satisfy the demand of the audience, but it did not.
The air was received with plaudits, but the orchestra
was no sooner silent than the call for God save the
Queen recommenced. The attempt to proceed with
the Farce was renewed, but it was reduced to a Pan-
tomime. After going on for some time in this way,
Mr. FAWCETT, who was on tise Stage, came for-
ward, and held another conference with some of the
audience near enough the Stage to hold converse
with him. The result was complete submission to
the will of the audience. The air of God save the
King was then sung by the musical part of the com-
pany, but every stanza concluded with God save the
Queen. The return of these Words were eagerly
watched, and replied to with enthusiastic cheers. The
whole of the audience stood up—Gentlemen waving
their hats, and Ladies their handkerchiefs. The
House in which this striking proof of public interest
in the cause of the QUEEN, and of gladness at her
triumph over her malignant, but now defeated and
humiliated enemies, was displayed, was exceedingly
crowded. The company in some of the private boxes
took an active part in the call for this tribute of re-
spect to her MAJESTY, and in the unbounded ap-
plause which accompanied it.

Mr. Hums has received the following Addresses
from Scotland, which he will present to her MAJESTY
on Monday next:
From Merchants, Traders, Burgesses, and Inhabitants of
Edinburgh, signed by 10,658 men.

Yesterday, at two o'clock in the afternoon, a fire
broke out in the rooms of the Rev. LANCELOT C. LEE,
senior Fellow of New College, Oxford. By the exer-
tions of the Members of the University, and several
persons of the City, the flames were most fortunately
subdued before much mischief was done.

cess to Sell three out of the four Capitals drawn the

A partridge suddenly perched on the arm of a
lamp-lighter at Litchfield, on Sunday morning last,
whilst the man was trimming his lamps, and at the
time several stage coaches were passing. He suffered
the bird to remain OH his arm for some minutes, in
the presence of the spectators, before he secured it.

MOVEMENTS OF THE FANCY.
The amateurs, it seems, feel considerable disappointment at
the match 'sting ebetween the Gaslight Man and Cooper. The
former has received the forfeit of as at the Castle Tavern, on
Tuesday evening last, in consequence of a letter having been
received from Cooper, at Edinburgh, stating, that owing to the
distance of 400 miles at this period of the year, his friends in the
North had advised him to decline it for the present, and to In-
crease the sum to £2OO a side, to meet Hickman in April next ;
but, nevertheless, if his backers in England wished him to fight
on the 20th day of December, he would comply with their
wishes, and leave Scotland for that purpose immediately.--
1 However, an amateur who was present, and who sports his
money heavily upon these events, observed, • That Cooper did
not dare to fight Hickman." The Gas-light Man also said, he
would sooner have given twenty guineas himself, than 'such
a disappointment should have occurred to the Sporting World.
Hickman, it appears, thought of winning the battle in a canter.
The Smell Iltht now is all the go among the tippers, and the
gentlemanly boxer, Williams, is highly in favour among the
'pinks in the west, and five to four has been betted upon him;
but, in the East, with the signs coveys and slaters, who think
themselves kites judges than to value an individual on account
of his stylish bow or Corinthian cut wrapper says • as how,
blow their dickies, if Josh. does but give the nodes nob one
of Bob Gregsou's misty armors, all his &game will be missing
in a brice of shakes, and his tipper works become as spoony
as a dostkey'sfoot in a;phig hole." odds are much fancied
by the friends of Hudson, notwithstanding the hue B*We
said to be possessed by Williams. It will be the first uhf.
bition of the latter in the prize ring, and his partizans 'only ac-
count fur it as being his fancy ! —The GT.ty Fight, also on the
same day; the r.th of next December, excitts great interest, and
I a good quantity of list!e has been shelled out upon it. Cooper
' (the Gypsy) is a sort i f Gar-light-man in miniature. Hale a fine
"'tither, active as a rope-darer on his pies and:blacksesitka deci-

is, neverthe ess, a e,rc not to be disposed of as a matter of
course. Harris is peculiarly steady, stops decently, and his hits

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT or KING'S BENCH, NOVFAIBIEII s.
JACOBS V. GAUNTLETT.
• •
Mr. LAWES moved for a new trial in tilis cause,
v.hich had been brought to recover the sum faf,C2so,
the value of goods sent out to America, in the year
1815, on board the *mei ship Angerona, of which
the defendant was the master. When the cause was
tried before Mr. Justice Bayley, the plaintiff was non-
suited on the ground that 0)d transaction was illegal;
as, by the laws both of Frtigland and America, cartel
ships could take out nothing except what was neces-
sary for the accommodation of the prisoners.—The
Court saw no reason for disturbing the verdict, and
tefused the Rule.

THE KING V. GLOSSOP.
Mr. ADOLPHUS, on the part of the defendant, pro-
pi ietor of the Coburg Theatre, moved for a writ of
c.riiorari, for the purpose of removing this cause
irorn the Surrey Sessions into the Court of King's
Bench. The Learned Counsel stated, that an appeal
had been entered against the conviction by the Sur-
rey Justices ; but, in consequence of some mistake,
the conviction having been described as taking place
on the 26th cf January instead of the 25th, the Ma-
gistrate, had refused to hear the appeal; and the re-
cognizances had been withdrawn. The Magistrates
had, however, taken no steps in consequence of the
conviction, and had refused to issue a distress on the
property of the defendant. A Rule had been ob-
tained by each of the parties in the Court of King's
Bench ; on the one side for quashing, and on the
other for affirming the conviction. The object of
the Learned Counsel was, that both Rules might be
argued at the same time ; and the case be finally
disposed cf. The Court granted the motion ; and
Saturday was appointed for hearing the arguments
on the case.

SIMPSON V. PARKER.
This was a motion for a new trial, in a cause that
had been tried at York, before Mr. Justice PARK.
The defendant was an Overseer, and went to the
house of the plaintiff to levy a distress for poor-rates.
The wife of the plaintiff begged for a week's respite,
and promised that, if at the end of that time the
money should not be paid, no opposition would be
made to the levying the distress. The defendant went
at the end of the week, and finding the outer door
shut against him, he forced it open, conceiving he
:was justified in doing so, in consequence of what had
been s.lid by the .t•ile of the plaintiff. An action
having been subsequently brought against the Over-
seer, the plaintiff was non-suited, the Learned Judge
having been of opinion, that the action should have
been brought within six calendar months from the
time el the alleged trespass.
Mr. LIITLEDALE now stated, that he had met with
a case, Barton v. Williams, which sheaved that the
osjection of the Learned Judge was not well-founded,
and on that case he rested his claim for a new trial. •
The Court having looked into the case, granted a
Rule to spew cause.

THE KING V. COHEN AND OTHERS.
Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN moved for a Rule to shew
cause why the verdict in this case should not be set.
aside and a new trial granted. It was an indictment
against the defendants for a conspiracy to obtain thel
choice of assignees under a commission of bank-
ruptcy, by means of fictitious debts. It was tried
at the last Sittings at Guildhall, and some of-the de-
fendants were found guilty.
The CLIME JUSTICE asked if the motion was not
likely to occupy a considerable time?
The Learned Serjeant answered in the affirmative.
The Cower directed that the motion should stand
over, and notice should be given to the Learned Ser
jeant when a day was appointed for hearing it.
BRYAN KING V. SIR THOMAS STANLEY.

tvlr. BE:iavotit moved for a Rule to shew cause why
the verdict in this case should not be set aside, and
a new trial granted. It was an action of damages
brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, for
having brought a malicious prosecution against the
plaintiff, and his brother, the Rev. J. king, of Beth-
nal-green, charging them with a conspiracy to poison
a close of the defendant's, for which they were tried
and acquitted. The action was tried at the last Ches-1
ter Assizes, before the Chief Justice, and the Jury
gave a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 40s. The
Learned Counsel contended, that the Chief Justice of
Chester ought not to have allowed the case to have'
gone to the-Jury, as there was •sufficient proved on
the trial of the action, to have justified the Chief
-Justice in stopping the trial.—Rule granted.
NOVEMBER to.
GURNEY, ESQ. b. FLOYER AND ANOTHER.
The defendants in this case were Magistrates in the
county of Stafford, and the plaintiff was a Gentleman,
owner of the hamlet of Syaston, consisting of a house
and 400 acres of land, in the neighbourhood of the
town of Tamworth. The cause had been tried before
Mr. Justice BEST, when a verdict had been found inn
favour of the plaintiff.
Mr.-Jzavis now moved for a rule to shew cause
why the verdict should not be set aside. The action
had been brought in the first instance to try the ques-
tion whether the hamlet of Syaston was or was not
entitled to have an overseer of its own; the Magis-
trates against whom the action had been brought
having appointed the plaintiff joint Overseer of the
hamlets of Syaston and Tamworth. By the Act of
the 43d of Elizabeth, which required that two or
more householders should be appointed to the office
of Overseer, the defendants conceived that they were
entitled to appoint the plaintiff joint Overseer of the;
twerhamlets, as the plaintiff was the only householder
in the former hamlet, and consequently the Statute
of Elizabeth could not be complied with. The
Learned Judge who tried the cause had been of opi-
nion at the trial, th'at the case came within the Sta-
tutes of the 13th and 14th of Charles 11. and that the
hamlet of Syaston, though it had only one house-
holder, was entitled to have its own Overseer; and
the jury being of the same opinion, had returned a
erdict in favour of the plaintiff.
The Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT observed, that in
a hamlet where the residents had been more nume-
rous ari finally, the poor would be in a very wi etched
state, if the only resident householder could not be
appointed Overseer. In such a case, he should con-
ceive that a day labourer might be appointed to that
• office, if the deficiency could in no other mode be
supplied.
Mr. Justice BAILEY cipiocided with the Lord Chief
