DRURY LANE MUSICAL PERFORMANCES.

-.OW" •
•
The first of the Annual Musical Performances usually.
called Oratorios took plice on Thursday. They continue
under the direction of Mr. Bochsa, and credit is certain-
ly dine to him for the spirit with which they ate con-
ducted. But there is room for improvement. The vocal
corps is not so strong as it was last year, and Owe is
an absolute deficiency in the ehorusses. We shall not,
however, be too free of censure, because this is i kind
of extraneous performance, unconnected with the regular
ones in Lent. Mr. Bodin will no doubt render his se-
lections, as well as the style in which they ate performer',
equal to those of last year; and then he will deserve
every support. The first part was a selection from the
Messiah; a first tribute to the immortal supremacy of
Handel. Braham, Mrs. Salmon, Miss M. Tree and bliss
Ooodall, distinguished themselves in the moat favorite
pieces.
The second Act was formed of a selection from a net,
Oratorio of Rossini's, entitled Cyrus at Babylon. Before
we state our opinion of the effect which this Oratorio
produced, it is but justice to the great master whose re•
potation it affects, that we should make allowance for
the circumstances under which it appears to have been
brought oat. In the first place, the language (origin.
ally Italian of course) has been translated into English.
and added to this disadvantage, neither the orchestral
nor the choral accompaniments displayed the confidence
or the correctness which results from adequate practice.
Upon the whole, therefore, it did not strike us as being
worthy of the highest rank among the effusions of Ro,
sini's genius. The music frequently dig • from the
sacred and sublime character of oratorio to that imagir-
ative and brilliant style for which the composer is so ar-
dently admired. In fact, this is so much the case, that
were it not for the majestic beauties of the " Moans is
EGYPT," we should have inclined to the opinion whic4
many have have asserted, that Rossini could not :nu-
ceed in the awful and solemn characteristics which are
required by subjects of such a nature. His Cyras at
Babylon is far the Most part operatic ; yet there are
some gems among the concerted pieces which are mark.
ed by a splendour that could only emanate from the
inspirations of genius. The t)vertnre is neither fertile
in originalities, nor even particularly effective in repe-
titions. A Miscellaneous Act closed the performsnre,,
and seat away one of the most crowded audiences that
we have ever seen, With perfect satisfaction,

'time to impart over to Monday, in order to give up op-
portunity of preparing, some affidavits in oilfired,* of
the offence.
Mr. PULLER said he was not disposed to opposle the
postponement of the sentence; but be prayed that the
defendant might, in the mean time, be committed to the
custody of the Marshalses.
The C'atar JUSTICEsaid they would make OO crier to

COURT OP OP COMMON PLEAM;4I4. $I:
cassoat tom-wire V. PONTAINO. ,•
This was an action to recover damages rea -Weary
sustained by the plaintiff's wife by the god *egli-
gem. of the defendant.
Mr. Sergeant PEEL stated the ease to ti(ihttry. The
defendant keeps a shop neat the Globe'Tavern, lit Fleet
Street. • The plaintiff is a poor weaver. His wife was
generally employed as a charwoman. On the 2.lst Dec.
1821, she was passing by the plaintiff's Asp: It was
about eight in the • evening. A sun blind, which bad
been fastened up in a box over the window. fell sad hurt
her leg very severely. She was at that time in a state
of pregnancy, bat in a few days after, owing to the le-
.;ry and fright, she miscarried, and had not been well
ever since.
These facts were proved by Mary 14114 who. was is
company with Mrs. Cassom at the time.
This witness was erosive:emitted at some length. for
the purpose of showing. first, that the injury was not
ouch as was complained of, and, secondly, that it arose
from the tempestuous state of the weather, and not
from the negligence of the defendant. Nothing of im-
portance however, was elicited from her. She admitted
that Mrs. Casson) had told her that a gentleman had
called to see her on the part of the defendisnt, to inquire
into the state of her leg. Some offer of compensation,
as she understood, had also been made.
For the defendant Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN contended,
that the injury complained of was not caused by the
fall of the blind, and secondly., that the fall was not
owing to any negligence on the part of the defendant.
to prove this, he celled the watchman. who was near
the spot *hen the blind fell ; the defendant's shopman,
who went out when be,heard the noise; the surgeon who
attended Mrs. Cassom, by orders of Mr. Fontoine ; and
one or two othors who had spoken to Mrs. Cason on
the subject of this accident. The sumer the testimony
given by th6e witnesses was, that it was aboit 10 o'clock
when the accident happened ; that it was a very tempes-
tuous night, the woman complained of the db to
left thus, ins is
'unhurt ; that slit ifter*ards complained t o bee leg,
but her shoulder ; that the blind bad hoes In a sound
condition before this, and that when the surgeon visited
Mrs. Casson, which was some time after. she was nurs-
log, and did not appear to have recently miscarried.—
On the cross-exlmication of one of those witnesses, it
appeared that a sum of 101. and coats bad been offered
to the plaintiff, but was refused. '
Mr. Sergeant PeLt replied, and after bearing the sum-
ming op of the learned Judge, the Jury retired for
about 20 minutes, and returned a verdict for the plain-
tiff—Damages 5/.

COURT OF OF EXCHEQUER.—Fama.

EDWARD. V. lIARBISON.

The 11011 of the plaintiff in this case bad been bound
apprentice to the defendant, bat the latter afterwards
gave back to the apprentice his indentures. This was
done by an agreement between the parties. The plain-
tiff, however, demanded to have returned to him the fee
he had given with his son ; but the defendantconteaded
for the right of retaining a certain portion of it for the
board and lodging of the young man daring the time he
had lived with him. The poetics not being able to
agree en this point, the father brought an anion against
the defendant, who obtained • rule to sheer cause why
the plaintiff should not be satisfied with the sum of 271.
which he bad paid into Court. Mr. Adam showed
cause against this rule ; and contended that a greater
sum was owing by the defendant to the plaintiff.
Mr. Jowss, in support of the rule, stated, that the
plaintiff had unneceassarily put ,the defendant to im-
pellers for which he now sought to be reimbursed; and
that these expenses had been incurred after a fair tender
bad been made, and with which the plaintiff ought to
have been satisfied.
The CUM BARON# Baron GRANA/11, and Baron Gas-
now, were of opinion, that from all the facts of the ease,j
the plaintiff was entitled to a larger sum than bad been
originally tendered to him by the defendants that the
pleiptiff was justified in taking proceeding for the re-
covery of the same ; and that the rule should be dis-
charged.witb costs.

PALACE COURT, Jaw. 31.

Mr. Mammas stated the case. It was an action
brought by the plaintiff against the defendant to recover
the sum of 421, 3s. 3d., for various articles of silk, &c.
supplied to the defendant. Mrs. Orgy, alias Court.
In October last. a bill drawn by the plaintiff was accepted
by a Mr. Smythe for 421. and upwards, made payable
at itlessrs. Coutts, but which wu not paid. there being
no effects.
Witnesses were called, from whose Svidence it ap-
pearee that the defendant lived at No. $3, Thornaugh
Street, where the plaintiff, who was an itinerant vender,
furnished her with the articles in question, fur the
amount of which he subsey.ently took Mr. Smythe's
bill.
Mr. Tnesstora, for the defendant, contended, that in
the first place Houlbrooke had adopted the credit of
Smythe, instead of Gray; and secondly. with respect to
the situation in life do the defendant. it was perfectly
cleat' the plaintiff feh satisfied with the credit of Smythe.
An itinetent vender, besides going into bunts of
wretchedness, in order to captivate the minds at the ex-
pence of the chastity of fentalesought to receive nothing

IMPORTANT TO 141CILIRTN.—THOMPs.N O. ChtEREMAN.
This was an action brought by the plaiatiff against the
defendant, to recover the sum.of 6/. 2s. 6d. deposited by
him in the defendant's hands, as a stake between a
pu-
gilist named Gardiner and a man named Lewis, who
were matched to fight a pitched battle fur the aforesaid
sem.
J. Basset, a smith; in the employ of Mr. Starrey, fur-
nishing ironmonger, in King Street, Seven Dials. de-
posed that be was acquainted with a man named Lewis
(a Welshman), ands the 4tb of Nov. last he was with
him and other-Ms, amongst whom was the plaintiff,
at the the hewn of the defendant, who is a publican in
the Borough of Southwark, when a fighting. match was
made between Lewis and Gardiner, who were to fight
next day on Blackheath for 61. a side, and 2.5. 641. for
leg of mutton. Thompson and Cheeseman were ap-
pointed umpires. Tom Jones was to second Lewis, and
Gardiner was to bare whom he pleased. The plaintiff
deposited the whole of the stakes in the hand of the
defeating, and unit day they met, according to the terms,
bet 'Gardiner was strnek real, and consequently the
defendaettook him oat of the ring. Plaintiff cautioned
the defendant against parting with the stakes until
' decided by arbitration. Defendant, notwithstaniing this,
paid the whole to Gardiner.
The Plaintiff's brother was present when the stakes
were deposited; he accompanied the plaintiff after the
tennination of the battle to defendant's house, and
heard plaintiff demanding the stake money back, Out
the defendant refused to return it ; and subsequently
paid it to Gardiner.
Mr. Burrow Mosaics, the Judge, said that wagers
were sanctioned, but when a gross breach of the peace
was committed, then it was illegal. Notice had been
given to return the stakes before the defendant paid the
money, which entitled the plaintiff to a verdict.—Verdict
accordingly for the plaintiff.

Three men, (who resided in the neighbourhood of
Crowcombe, were found on Sunday morning last, dead
in the snow, between that village and Gore Inn. They
had Jun drinking at the latter place on Saturday
night,lust whether intemperately or not we are not in-
formed. They have left 19 children to bewail their
loss.—(Tauatent Courier.)
Duncan bl'Parlane, Oartmore carrier, was, nn
night last, attacked by a band of ruffians on the tlarscube
road, about nine miles from this city ; a woman was
walking with bim, when two fellows sprung from the
opposite sides of the road and wade towards hiM; he
retired two steps, and prepared himself for an attack ;
they, however, proceeded to the cart, and began to untie
front behind it a horse belonging to Hr. Grahlui, of
Hartasore. He went forward and knocked 49wn one of
issiggraigoll HA ether. At ;hat

other two. The woman then loosed the dog, which,
was, however, so terrified that it ran off. The only wea-
pon of defence which the carrier bad was his whip, with
the shaft of which he dealt shoot hint with some effect.
The robbers were armed with sticks. In the mean time,
the woman made off with the horse and cart at a brisk
trot. She went to the first house she met, and called
for assistance. Only one man was in the house at the
time, who procured the aid of a hot at a little distance,
and two women, who proceeded with lights to the place
of encounter. The carrier had been by this time beat
off, after a bloody struggle. Ile was met by this party
not far from the house, pursued by the villeins ; the
lights had the wished for effect • the villains instantly
made off. The carrier bad in Charge that night about
50f. in money, and the cart was loaded with valuable
goods. Several of the fellows made a grasp at his bide
coat pocket, where the money was deposited. There is
tittle doubt they were aware of the value of the booty
they wese in quest of. The carrier is very much brnised
about the face and body. He deserves high praise for
his bold and intrepid conduct,—(Glasgow Courier,)
Flag.—About half after six o'clock yesterday morn-
ing a fire broke out in the second floor front room of the
house of Mr. Raoklin, 2, Sidmouth Street, Brunswick
Square. Mrs. Ranklin was put to bed on the preceding
afternoon ; the nurse who sat up with her placed the
candle on the table close to the beil, and falling asleep,
the candle set the bed curtains on tire. The family were
alarmed, and the watchmen, who were going off duty,
entered, and with difficulty. removed Mrs. Ranklin and
child from danger. The bed, bedding, window, window
curtains and furniture were totally destroyed.
About eight o'clock on Wednesday evening. the 22d
tilt. an alarming tire broke out at Al lington, near Brid-
port, when 15 houses were in a very short time con-
sumed. The dames being then got under, all danger
was considered at an end ; but before four o'clock the
following tootling, the wind shifted, and proper wen-•
tion not having been paid to the smouldering rains, two
houses more were burnt. By this dreadful calamity 30
families are reduced to the greatest distress, most of
their goods being burnt or spoiled. The bosses were
mostly insured.
A coroner's inqueet was held on Thursday evening,
at the White Hart, Drury Lane, before Thomas Stir-
ling, Esq., on the body of Heorge Morgan, aged 36, of
3, Stuart's Buildings, who died in consequence of taking

()italic acid.
The Jury being of opinion that the deceased had
taken oxalic Iscid in mistake for Epsom salts, returned a
verdict accordingly.
