Get the Ladles that you can,
And let each Lady have a mat.;
Let diem, is &Circle plac'd,
Take their partners round the midst;

Till the walk becomes a dance ;
Then the twirling, face to face,
Without variety of grace,
Round and round, and never stopping,
Now and then a little hopping;
When you're wrong, to make things worse,
!roue couple, so perverse,
Should iti the figure, be pe►ples'd,
Let them be k►►ock'd down by the nett.

Very odd, but very pleasing—.

which is attributed to some incendiaries. About half
pant twelve o'clock at noon the fire was discovered
to proceed from the out-houses and barns of Mr.
Gooch, and post-horses were instantly put in requisi-
tion to convey engines froni Guildford and the sur-
rounding neighbourhood. In consequence, however,
of the necessary delay, and the scanty supply of water,
the fire spread furiously, and the whole of the out
houses, barns, stables, with the whole of the corn,
hay, straw, &c. &c were consumed in the space of
about two hours and an half. There was a thrash-
ing usachine upon the premises, and this, it is sup-
posed, may have induced some misguided person to
commit the outrage in question.

ilcmg the shore ; before they had gone far, a sudden
gale sprung up, and carried them out in spite of all
their exertions to regain the land ; in this straggle
one of their two oars broke. They had now no re-
source but to keep the boat before the wind with the
broken oar, and for throwing out the water, which
made very fast, they used their hats while they lasted,
wad when these lucitme useless they had recourse to
their shoes. Atter undergoing. much fatigue and
hardship in this work of despair during the night,
they landed said, at Burhead, after having been 17
hours at sea. They were kindly used at Burhead, and

EX I'ORTIONATE FEES.
TwEEDLE V. 1$ ENNELL.

This was a Rule calling upon the Clerk of the De.
clarations of this Court, to re: nod the bum of Ss. 44
to Messrs. Roger. and Son, ot Manchester Buildings,
Westminster, the defendant's Solicitor, being a ire
demanded by hith for delivering out a declaration in
this cause, on the 29th of June, the feast day of St.
Prier the Apostle, which was claimed by the said
office to be kept as a holiday.
Mr. triAntivar, r, against the Rule, contended that
this was one of the days ordained by the statute 5
and 6of Edward VI. c. S. to be kept as a holiday.
and that, therefore, the officer was justified in taking
the fee.

Mt. ANDREWS' in support of the Rule, cited Peter
v. Croome, 7 T. R. 336, Sorrow v. Cooper, 2 Sir
W. Blackstone, 1314, and Figgins v. Willie, ibid.
11/36, where it was held that the officer had no right
to keep any days holidays except Candlemas, Ascen-
sion-day, Midsummer-day, and St. John the Baptist.
Lord aucasokodott said, Ite considered that the
officers had no tight to keep any holidays, except
those four days mentioned in the case in Sir William
Blackstone's Reports.; but at all events, if they were
justified in keeping the holiday in question, they had
no rigltt to sell it.
The rest of the Court agreeing, the Rule was made
absolute, but without costs.

JULY 4. -CHIODI V. WATER&

This was an action against hlr. Waters, the pro-
prietor of the Opera House, by Signor Chiodi, for
salary as Primo Buffo, at the Haymarket.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL stated, that Signor Chio-
di held the situation of first Buie at the Opera, at
Amsterdam, from which place he opened a negocia.
tion with the defend:it*, Waters, to come to this
country : aid he held in his hand it letter from Mr.
Waters, in which he tells him that he could not give
him his terms of :MO for the season, but that he
would give him Je4oo, which, with some advantages
that he would point out to him, would probably
make it amount to that sum ; and it he acceded to
the terms, he was to be in London on or before the
first of January following. This letter was addressed
‘, to Signor Chiodi, Primo Buffo, AmsterJam."—lt
WAS clear, therefore, he contended, that the engage-
ment WAS to be as First BID. However, when he
came to this country, lkir. Waters wanted to put him
into second parts. This he would not comply with,
and refused to play them ; and if his contract was
for first parts, he had a right to resist being put into
others. He would put the case, if his .Learned
Friend, Mr. Topping, who was Counsel on the Other
side, being specially retained to go to Oxford or else-
where, and when he arrived, the Attorney was to
tell him, 44 Sir, we shall be glad of your assistance,
but we have another Gentleman to lead you." He
was sure that nothing but his Friend's good temper
would keep him from knocking the Attorney down.
And it was equally against professional etiquette in
the musical world to put the Primo Buffo in second
parts, which he consequently refuted to play, and
Mr. Waters refused his salary, which this action WAS
brought to compel payment of'.
Several witnesses were then called, who proved,
that Signor Chiodi played Primo Buffo in several
Operas, and that he was equal to the task; but
Signor Dragonetti, the Deputy Stage Manager at
the Opera House. being called upon to prove the
contract between the plaintiff and defendant. stated,
that be was engaged only to sing in Comic Operas.
and not as Primo Bop, which was filled by Signor
Naldi.—On this evidence the plaintiff was nonsuited.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. JULY s.
LES V. LANZA.

A Rule had been obtained, by Mr. Serjeant Letts,
for staying proceedings in this action, and to shew
cause why the bail bond, given by the defendant,
should not be given up to be cancelled. It appeared
that Lanza, the defendant, is a musical man, and was
arrested on the 4th of May, 1815, at the suit of'
Messrs. Barret and Co. He then told the officer that he
was a privileged person, being one of the domestics
of the then Portuguese Ambassador. The officer re-
tur:ed to let him go until lie had signed a bail bond.'
On this bond the plaintiff brotight an action for an
escape, and Linea was subpoenaed as a witness for
the Sheriff, bat did not appear ; consequently the
plaintiff recovered against the Sheriff. The debts
and costs were subsequently paid by Lanza. against
whom this action was brought to recover the expenses
which the Sheriff had been pot to.
Mr. Serjeant Bret was heard against the Rule :
and contended, that the defendant was not entitled to
privilege ; because, from his own :hewing, he merely
sung at the Catholic Chapel : there was no proof that
he was really and beats Re a servant receiving pay.
On the contrary. be was in the habit of teaching
music, and obtaining a very lucrative income. His
name being on the list of the Ambassador was a mere
colour, and had a very mischievous effect. He cited
a variety of cases in which the Court had decided
against pleas similar to the present.
The Court desired further Information; the case
falling short in proof of the stated allegation. It

ought tubs shown, what service was dope, aid what•
money wu paid for such service. Without statine
say opinion on the caw, the Court would enlarge th-
Rule till next 'Perm a giving the defend.ant an oppor-
tunity of amending his case.

PREROGATIVE COURT. JULY S.
'ROTE AND lIATTNRWS V. CURII4 AND 1,035106.

This case carne before the Court on the admission
of the allegations. It arose respecting the last will
and testament of Mr. traniel Fossick, late ot Crooked-
lane, in the parish of St. Vichael, London, deceased.
It appeared that the deceased died on the 17th of
Istrrch last, and that he regularly made and executed
a will on the 14th May,lBos, which will was attes-
ted by three witnesses, and disposed of all the de-
ceased's real and personal property. It further ap.
peared, that after the deceased's death several other
papers of a testamentary nature were found among
his writings, two of which were now propounded, as
containing the last will and testament or the testator.
One of those papers was neither dated nor sighed by
the deceased, and it was written on the back of a
sketch of a drawing of a shed which the deceased in-
tended to build. The other paper bore the signature
of the deceased, and was dated, but in every other
respect it was imperfect.
The Learned Judge, Sir JOHN IsTrator.r., after re-
capitulating the articles of the al;rocatiuns, and ob-
servinp, 'Ton the form and contents or these two pa-
pers, was clearly of opinion that rh,..y most be consi-
dered as imperfect, incomplete, and my +lid in point
of few ; and therefore rejected the al!e:.ations to
proof, and pronounced for the validity of toe will of
the llth May, 1805.
