It appeared that the officer went with the writ on the even- imw of the 21st of July bRt, to a coffee-houxe in Jernyn-5treet, where Ath. lamer was sitting in one of the boxea, and toldhini " he want.

Hamer was arrested, though th-rre was no contact of person, because he had acquiesced in the capton. The LonD CitIEF JUSTICE assented to the doctrine that per- wsl contact was not, in all cases, necessary; but to dispense with it on the ground of acquiesence, there must be some positive act done, and not a mere absence of objection. He was clearly of opi- nion that no arest was proved, and certainly bad an escape warrant een apiead for, it would not have been granted. Te plintifF was accordinaly nonsuited.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, said tbat it bad been intimated to him while he was at the House of Lords, that Mr. Harris did not think proper to attend any me~eting for the appointmnent of a treasurer: that beinn the case, his Lordship must presume that there was no chance of the parties coming to any kind of accommodation like that which fhe hhaa proposed, and therefotete Master must appoir.t a re- Mr. SHIADvWELL sWid that illr. Harris did not object to comply- ing with his Lordship'srecommendation for himself, but as he had parted with all his interest to the lessees, he did not know of anv usetul purpose which could be effected by his attendance, even if M.r. Const and the lessees chose to have a meeunc. The LoaR CHAcCE:LLOR said that there might be another oDi- nion besides that which Mlr. Ha-rris seemed ta bave as to the duties to which he was bound by the agreement of 1813. Sometbing,bhow. ever, mnust be done; and if the meesing hich he had recommended should not take place, or if the result of that meeting, supposing it wecre to taLke place, should not be stated to him in a wav to indace him to vary the order whichl he now gave by Tuesday morning tnext,thje Mlastermust proceed, without further notice, to appoint Ir. H1A5T wished to know what flurther order his Lordship w.ould grant in that case as to the application of the proceeds which would come into the hands of the receiver. T'he LORD CSTAV cELLOR said it would be better to have a re- ceiver appointed first; probably by the time the parties were accam- mlodated with one, they might be in a better humour with each other, and no other order mighlt be wanted. Mieantime, if the Master should have to appoint? alU parties would be at liberty to go into the offce to propose a receiver. COURT OF C}IANCERY. TnrnRmAn P,. 1a First Seal after Term.

R5o&ini's opera, nBarbiere di ?vigla, W on Saturday night pertormed at this t Thereteaan t audience; on few occasions have we seen so splendid an assemblage of b uty eof gance, and fashion. The only novelty in the performantof the night, was the first appearance of' Signor Benetti; wbis made his debut as the intrigue-loving Figaro. This gentleman is, unquestionablV, a valuable acquisition to the theatre. His person is pleaskig, his face very intelligent and extremely good humoured, his carriage fuIlofnivacity and spirit-if anv thing,more volatilethan evett "the measureless content" of the Spanish Barberwouldjustify. His voice is rich and flexible in its lower tones ; but not quiteiio felicitous when an approach is made towards the higher notes. His knowledgf ofrmusic is unquestionably good. In tbe most difricult scenes gf te opera-thosescenes of confusion inwlhich Rossiniseems todelight,ohere the various dialects of Babel appear to be employed in the creation of a perfect, though noisy, harmony-he sustamned his part with perfect accuracy. His sslos were sung with taste and animation. As an actor, he is one of the best we have seen, for some years, iR the bi7fa line. Ilis only fault is that he is never at rest. If his legs, arms, and tongue, are quiescent, he is sure to put every feature in Iis face on duty. He is a sort of Harley, on a larger scale. However, 'abating a little for his restlessness, his desire to be al- ways before the audience, he is a comic actor of much merit. Garcia was very fascinating as the amorous Count Almaviva. His love songs breathed all the ardeur and all the delicacy of that uni- versal passion. They were well contrasted with those littlq comic sarcasms, in which the Connt, even when bis plans are destroyed, is so fond of' indulging. Signor Porto's Basilio must not pass un- noticed. His execution of the elaborate air La Caluirnia-an air whiclh, for fancy and invention,inay rank amongst Rossini's best pro- ductions.-was exceedinFly fine. ItIadame Vestris sustained the character of Rosina pleasingly. The languor of recent indisposition appeared, however, to depress her powers. KIA'G'S T7lTRE-

The answer, we think, was as satisfactory as could be expected in an uncertain matter, the uncertainty of wvhich does not depend upon ourselves.

We present our readers with the account of the very singular procee(lings at the- India House yesterdtay, to which we suspect no parallel can be found in the annals of the Colurt. The Proprietors had been convened to consider of the changes necessary in the Acadtemic Institution at Hai- leybury; but before the -business of the day comTuenced, a question'was put to the Chairman-whether it vas true, as had been stated in some public prints, that the Mar- quis of. HAStIN,S had robbed the Companiy of above a quaiter of million of money ? To this question, and other .questions of a similar import,-whicb, we should think, were obviously of such a nature.that they ought to be put, and out to be answ,v red at any time, when the fact was known, yes or no-the Chairman refused. to answer. Even when urged Rfld called upon by various Proprietors,he still refised to ansier- . Though other Directors replied firmly-aind loudly-in the negative, the Chairman still re- fused. to reply !" The consequence- was, that a scene of great. tumult- took place, and the business of the day was adjou7ned. Now,upon theee proceedings it is first obvious to remark, that if the object of an idherence to form be to procure the despatch of thc business proposed, such an adherence as preveuts that 4espateb, and occalos the postponoumet of the business to a futare period, is extravagant and absurd: it frustrates the intention of the rule. WVe are inclined, therefore, to tlhink- that 'the Chairman must have hal some other motive fcr his silence than thatassigned. After all, the scene was extremely ridiculous. Sir JoHx DOYLE de- manded-MAfr. DOUGLAS KiNNAIRD rermonstrated-Ir. ! gtTE reasoned--Mr. LowNDES raged ; but the Chairman was silent. The Vice-Chairman apologized-Co-Directors interposed, and gave the answer required ; but the Chair- man himself was silent. He's a sturdy one, we shoUla sly, if his mind were at thc time in a slate capable of re- ceiving the ordinary impressions. The Chairman and Vrice-ClIairmdn were evidlently at variance ; for the latter described the inquiry as new and unexpected, whereas the former evidently interrupted Sir JoiN DoYLE because he knew what was coming.

The Times, 1824-02-17T00:00:00

Letters from Bahia of the 17th of December, antl from Pernambuco of the 31st, were received yesterday. At Ba- hia, on the arrival of intelligence of the events at Rio de Janeiro, a protest was prepared andl signed by several intli- viduals,expressive of their disapprobation of the EM r sBo IL'S condnct in dissolving the Legislative Assemnbly. On the 17th, howvever, a general meeting of the principal persolns in Bahia took place an the invitation of the Government, to consider what steps ought to be taken, but nothilng oc- currOd exeept the passing a resolition to consider the pro- test above mentioned as null and voidl. Those whoi had signed it adldr ssed the meeting principally with the view of exculpating themselves for havinig done so, by alleging that they were not awrare, at the time, of the real state of the case. It seems that a strong party exists in Bahia dis- posed to adhere to the EMPrEIoit under any circumstances, so that it was probable the tranquillity of the place would .be preserved. Affairs remained nearly in the same state at Pe-nambuco as mentioned,in the last arrivals. The decree for the expulsion of those Portuguese who had not taken the oath of adherence wvas carrying inito effct, and a ship -as prepared for their conveyance to Europe.
