'."his Ibeinrg the last day of Term, hiis lHonour was 'occ,iupkd in hbearing mnotiOns. With the exceptionof the following, nione occurrled of any importnce. * ?OlflOUSll AND HAN1OsR V.3)AXLAS, KN~IGHT, ASD) t-OLUlU5t. 3111r HEXLD, shortly fbefor the rising of the Court, requtested his Honour to hear a short motion which he bad been prevented by ec- cident from nm?3ting before. the Lord Chancellor. The plaintiffs wete Zehn Cam Hobbiousc, Esq., and Jcibri'Hanson, Esq., the exe- cutr,. and administrators of the late Lord Byzon, and they priayed that an. injuncti on might iss,-.e to restrain the defendants, Robert Charles Dallas, Esq., Charles Knight, and Henrv Colbumn, from $ublisbing eirtain letters written by thbe late Lord Byron to his aso- J2r.The groun4s upon which the application was mnade were theze .-.Previously to the year 1811, the late Lord Byron wrote se- 'verid private and confidential letters to his mother, Catherine Gor- donBy_ron, who in1811 died inte~state. Her son, the late Lord By- ron, as heir-at-Jaw, took olit letters of administration, and obtained possession of the letters which he had previously addressed to his viother. Being subsequertly about to leave the country, his Lord. biph ,placed the letters in the hands of the dlefendant. Robert Chiarles Malas, for' safe custody. It was supposed that Mr. Dallas hadl either sod the letters to the defendants, or bad entered into partnership with them to publish them. The learned counsel then read an affdavit, which had been filed by the plaintiffsi, in support of the injunction. It sat forth that in the years I80, 1810, and 1811, the late Lord Byron wrote several letters to his mo- ther, which were private and con~fidential, and notintenaed for publi- cation: tbat the mother of his Lordship died in1811, and thatbhis Lordsthip administered to her estate anid effects, and becamne pos- sessed of the aforesaid letters: that the plaintiffiz believedI that his Lordship was in thehbabit of corresponding with the defendant, .Mr. Dallas, anfl was on terms of intimacy with him; and that hin Lord. ship, on quitting England, intrusted Mir. Dallas with the letters aforesaid : that the plaintIff. believed that when the death of his Lordshrp became known, DIr. Dallas assumed a title to, and claimed a copyright of, the letters, i%nd formed a plan to publish them and agreed to sell such piretended copv- right to Charles KhPigt, of Pal-mall East; bookseller, and Heniry COlburn of New Burlington-street, boekseller, who, in consequence, bad published ani advertisement in the papers of July 4, stating that on the 1l'h ofJuly instant would he published " Liordl Byron's Frivate Correspndence, including his Letters to h-is Mother; vritten from Portugal, Spain, Greece, and other parts of the Medit- terrnean.

Drury-Lane Theatre.
The Times, 1824-11-03T00:00:00

Mrs. Bedford, recently of the Theatre Royal, Dablin list night made her first appearance on these boards, as Rosetta, in the cheerful opera of Lnve in a Village. This lady is not wholly unkrown to a London audience, having. when rtliss Green, performed for several nights at Coyent-garden. Her figure is small, but elegantly formed, and the exprepsion of her featUres is uncommonly pleasing. As a vocalist, her claims are not of the highest order. Her voice is not deficient in sweetness, but its compass is very limnited. Her style is unassuming perhaps too much so. Some of Rosetta's airs arc susceptihie of far more tasty ornament than M1rs. Bedford deigned to bestow upon them. She en:irely mis- took the well-known song, "ly heart's my own., Instead of piouring torth the notes with Ehat zaiety and spirit which the sub- ject manitestly requires, she utteree them as slowly sad as mourt- fully as it shle were chanting a piece of sacred music. Her other songs w ere better. She sang with considerable feeling and delicacy one of Moore's meledies.-" The harp that once on Tarab's wall." But what connexhin this beautiful Irish lament has with the situation ol the Roay Riosta, we leave It to those at whose request it waa lntroduced to explain. A more inappropriate atir could not, we ihink, have been selreted. Mlrs. Bedford was favourably received; and deubtless will be an useful, if not a splendid, addition to the operatic department. The part of Ha-'. tJiorrn was sustained by Mr. Bcdford, formerly of the Dublin Thea- tre, who now made his first bow te a London audience. His tall, well-proportioned figurc, and good-humoured countenance, are well adapted for the stage. His manner is bold. even to a fault. An overweening confidence in himself leads bim occasionally to the verge of vmul rity. Mis voice is a deep tenor-full and fle- ible in its tower notes, but weak and inefficient in its upper tones. fle was; encored in all his songs; although, in our opinion, lie executed those belonging to the character but indifferently. His introduced air, MWho deeply tlrinks of wine," was intinitely better than anv other of his efforts. fie, like his lady, may he found use- ful. Mr. Terry indereook the part of Juss&re Woodcock for the first time. Ilis performance had not the richnesb of Alunden or Dowton, but it was nevertheless amusing. There was a good deal of originality about it. Young Jeadows was represented by .lr. Horn, who got through the clharacter most respectably. Ir. Knight's Hodfge was full of rustic humour. DRURY.

The subject of it is Ireland: but to those Who turn with indifftrence from sucfi a theme, we shall just add, that if they have patience they will find about the work some redeeming properties ; for the author of it, is MA. THOuMAS Moora. The title which he has selected is " Memoirs of Cqapfain Rock," who gives in the first per- | son, a history of himself and his fanmily, typifving under both the principle of Irish disafrection towards the ruling Power, at all periods of the joint history of Great Britainl and Ireland, from the reign of HEmRy II. down. This historcal and political sketch combines a great diversity, of beaulies. I:s facts are recognizeul and indisputable-' its reasonings are so managed as to flash upon the mind of the reader, instead of exacting fiom him the labour of dleduction. Irony, keen and profoundly cutting-poignant saRi2s of ViYacity-imagery, aectcrate and brilliant-clear sense, and nervous languige, are the media through which the author conveys to us his own strong and deep irapression of the causes whence have procceded all the troubles of Ieland, and all the activity and importance of the " Rocks." We should do injustice to the author anA to his subject, if we did not lay hold of an early opportunity to transplant into our columns some passages from this very able and K 0 work. ____g_w_ _k
