MARCH 19.—Ex PARTE GRANT V. BOYLE.
ELOPEMENT.--This was a petition filed by the trus-
tees of a Mr. Robinson, deceased, against the Defen-
dant, an officer (Ensign) in the Tower Hamlets Mi-
litia, who has carried away the daughter of the de-
Ceased lately, from Kensington, a ward of Chancery,
I entitled to a considerable fortune, while she was only
18 years of age, and had intermarried with her, with-
out the knowledge or consent of the trustees.
Sir SAMUEL Romtm.v, on the part of the Petitioners
prayed only that the Defendant may appear before a
Master, to have it inquired whether the marriage was
legally solemnized, and if so, then to have a proper dad
settlement of the Lady's fortune made, after account- eddl e.
ing to the Court for his conduct ; which was great
mildness in the application.
Mr. HART, for the Defendant, stated his submis-
sion to the Court, and readiness to execute any settle-
ment approved by the Master.
The LORD CHANCELLOR desired to see the affidavit
,of the Defendant filed this morning. ; on the produc-
tion of which the prayer of the petitioner was granted.
COURT OF REQUESTS, MARCH 15.
• The proprietor of a stage waggon was summoned
before the Commissioners by a young woman named
^Frankland, for £2 las, being the value of a parcel,
}containing a 411 note and. some wearing apparel,
which she had left at the Waggon-office, to be con-
veyed to her friends in the country. The parcel did
not reach the place to which it was directed ; and, on
, her inquiring at the Office, she could get no account
of it, nor would they make her any recompence. The
book-keeper attended, and refused to pay, on the
ground of there being no such parcel booked as that
described by the young woman. She, however, of-
fered to swear that at the time she left it she paid the
carriage, and an additional two-pence to have it
booked, and en requesting the clerk to enter it whilst
she was present, he replied it was all in good time,
and told her she might go. The Commissioners highly
reprobated the conduct of the clerk, who they said
had been guilty of a fraud upon the plaintiff, in re-
ceiving money professedly for booking the parcel, and i
afterwards neglecting to do so. They therefore or.l
dered him to pay the full amount of the plaintiff's de-
mand, together with all expences.
ADMIRALTY COURT, MARCH 19.
' Cousin Marianne, De Boer master.— This was a
further proof case with respect to certain bales ofl
French cambrics, that were coming from France at
the time of capture, to the consignees and owners
this country. The Court restored the same, subject
to the captors expellees.
Horatio, Hiddes master.—This was also a farther ,
proof case, in regard to two parcels of wine, which
were coming from Bourdeaux to this country, in or-
der to pay the tonnage duties, and then the vessel was
to proceed to Stettin. In this case the Court restored
the same, with freight and expences, and allowed the
captors their expences.
Jeuge Anthje, WATTEs master.—This was a ques-
tion of costs and damages against the captors. The
Court, in this case, rejected the application, but re-
fused the captors their expences.
Alert, master.—This was also a case of cap-
tors expences, the claim for salvage not being pressed,
by them.—The Court refused the same on the groundy
that after examining the ship's papers she ought im.l
inediately to have been released.
Tuesday as Mr. Powis, of Marlborough-street,
was driving a spirited horse on Knightsbridge Cause-
way, on his way to Fulham, the off rein became un-
buckled, and the animal started off at full speed. The
vehicle was forced against some railing and broken)
to pieces ; and a youth, about fourteen, who was with
Mr. Powis, received contusions on the head, which'
left but litte hopes of recovery. Mr. Powis was also
seriodsly hurt.

BRIGHTON, MitRCH 19.
During the whole of Saturday, Sunday, and Mon-
day, weather more delightfully serene and bright was
never before enjoyed here in the month of March.—
Last night, however, we had a slight fall of rain, and
the atmosphere to-day has been less pure, a haze pre-
dominating, and the wind having veered from the
North-east to the South-west. Two armed brigs, the
Vantour and the Hope, the former mounting 18 guns,
and rated as a sloop of war, and the other ntrunting 10,
are again at anchor within gun-shot of the shore.
Several of their officers and crews paid us lengthened
visits yesterday. The Channel prospect yesterday was
very agreeably diversified, several square-rigged ves-
sels being at a distance in the offing, and coasters, col-•
liers, and fishing-boats, irregularly interspersed over
the extended surface of the watery expanse.
The telescopes at the Marine Library were in no
ordinary request during the cheerful progress of the
day, and the greater part of the Cliff Houses display-
ed their occupants similarly engaged.

THEATRICALS.

J.
BRADBURY, the celebrated pantomimic Clown, has
had more than common success this season in the Irish
metropolis. He has produced a comic pantomime,
" Harlequin from the Moon," which has afforded con-
siderable aid to the theatrical treasury. His approach-
ing Benefit is expected to exceed any previously wit-
nessed in the Sister Kingdom.
The Theatre at Manchester afforded the lovers of
the Drama a novel spectacle, on Friday evening last,
by the introduction of a new Comedy, in three acts,
entitled, How will it End ? the Dramatis Persons of
which were thus filled—
Sir Charles Delville - - - Mr. Douai.
East court - - • Mr. ANDRICWS.
Sir Cynton Sapless - - Mr. KOWCR.
Batton - - Mr. GRANT.
Dash-hall - - - Mr. RAs.
Torn - . - - Mr. GORDON.
Lady Delville, under the :muted name of
Miss Eastcourt - - - Miss BRISToW.
Mrs. Eastcourt - - Mrs. Doss%
Susan - - - Miss GRANT.
The plot is altogether new. The characters through-
out well supported. The language chaste, elegant,
and spirited ; with quite enough of the pathetic to
keep sensibility alive, and of the comic to elicit bursts
of laughter. Considering the disadvantage under which
every performance comes out at a provincial Theatre,
we may truly say the piece went off with uncom-
mon eclat, and was well received by a most numerous
audience. We understand it is the maiden production
of a young author, who cannot at once be master of
the jets de Theatre, sufficient to rank it as a faultless
piece, but we have no hesitation in saying, that with
a very few curtailments in the sentimental speeches,
it would be most favourably received at a Metropoli-
tan Theatre. It would be unfair to pass over the
merits of those performers, to whom assuredly the
author is indebted largely for support. The talents.
of Mr. RAE, in Dash-hall, were conspicueus—his
thorough knowledge of his author, vivacity, and ex-
pression of countenance, entitle him to as high pre-
cedence in the gay Court of Thalia, as he unques-
tionably possesses in the more sombre one of Melpo-
mene. Miss BRISTOW was all the Author intended
in Lady Delville, beautiful, correct, and sensitive.—
Miss GRANT, in the
.pert Chambermaid, excelled her-
self. In shalt, we think, the Author had ample en-
couragement to try the effect of his pen on a more
extended scale, and have little doubt but in so doing
be will considerably assist in checking the charge,

Dumfries, remarkable for salubrity and longe-
vity, has lately lost one of its oldest inhabitants. Mr.
Jean GASS, barber, died there on the 10th instant, in
'the 90th year of his age. His simplicity of manners,
benevolence, and undeviating integrity, during an ia-
Anstrious and active life, excited universal esteem and
respect ; while a singularly retentive memory, toge-
ther with the peculiar naives; and shrewdness of his
raltarks, and a certain eccentricity of character, made
'his conversation interesting as well as entertaining to
all ranks :—he often used to boast, with apparent sa-
tisfaction, that he had done what no other man dared
to do—the taking the Pretender by the nose, in 1745.
As an instance of the mildness of the season, a wood-
pigeon's nest was on Suoday se'nnig'ht discovered near
Carlisle, by two boys, which contained two young ones

Dunr.n MARCH 13.—A melancholy accident De.
curred on Wednesday, at the Weirs, Cerk. As two
young ladies, daughters of the late John ?yhe, Esq,
of Lisgoold, were returning from Sunday's Well, one
of them missed her footing and fell into the river and
unfortunately was drowned.
Monday evening the honourable Judge DAY, one
of the Lords Justices of Assize tor the Munster Cir.
cuit, arrived at Ennis, and shortly after opened. the
Commission. On the next morning at nine o'clock,
his Lordship appeared in Court, when the Grand Jury
were swore in. His Lordship, as usual, syddressed
the Jury with much eloquence and force. He dwelt
with peculiar satisfaction on'the tranquil and orderly
state of society ; and, drawing a striking contract
between the County of Clare, and districts not far
distant, he paid some flattering compliments to all
classes, from the Magistrate to the husbandman, of
that respectable county.
Tuesday morning the Hontrlrable Baron Sir Wl4.

In the Crown Court, John Heney was tried for for.
cibly taking from the person of Mr. Byrne, nearDro.
gheda, 300 guineas in gold. John Hickey, an ia.
former, swore positively that the prisoner was at the
robbery—and Hickey's wife,that he was present when
the booty was divided; but Mr. Byrne could not
identify the prisoner, who was taken concealed in a
cave at the rear of his own house. The prisoner set
up an dill, and produced three witnesses, who were
accurate and consistent in their evidence. The Jury,
after deliberating for an hour, brought in a verdict
of Not Guilty.
At the Assizes for the county of Meath, held at
Trim on Saturday last, Roger O'Connor, who now
occupies the paternal estate of Marquis Wellesley
in that county, was convicted of an. assault on P.
Ogle, Esq. There was nothing political in the busi-
ness ; but a curious altercation took place between
,Lord Norbury, the Judge who presided, and Mr.
O'Connor.
WATERFORD, MARCH 9.—Thursday a respite was
received, staying the execution of Thomas Dosser,
John Brown, John Whelan, and Thomas Whelan, who
were to have been executed this day, until Tuesday,
the 9th of April next.
CLONMEL, MARCH 9.—On the night of Monday last

ther, at Newpark, was maliciously set on fire, and
I :tether with all his furniture, clothes, &c. was td.
y consumed, and a fine child, two yaws old, burnt
to death.
Yesterday afternoon, as two respectable looking
young men were passing down Penton-place, Penton-
vile, and playfully pushing each other, one of them
fell, and unfortunately broke his thigh. A gentleman
observing a croud of persons collected nearly opposite
his door, stepped out, and was informed of the acci.
dent by several Ladies and Gentlemen who seemed'
• much exasperated at the inhuman conduct of a Medi-
cal Gentleman who passed by at that instant, and
whom the sufferer begged in vain to assist him.

The workmen who discovered the Roman burial.
ground on Beaconsfield farm, have, in pursuing their
work, arrived at the Roman bath described by Nor r,
in his Antiquities of Orfordshire. The bath was al-
ways visible, but was considered as a small stew, walled
round with rough stone, till the workmen discovered
the tesselated floor near h. Here the Roman tiles
and the tesselation are still in a state of good preser-
vation, although in a wet situation. The oak dug up
is sound, black, and heavy. • .
