•a, •• A THE DHZ i 4. ENGI,I3II FifIUSE. N' o twitlistanaing the intense heat of the weather, ihk t h eatre has - kept up its usual attraction. Th.? ,fm:rricans has been repeated evay evenin,.; during the eek with the exception of last night. This operatic draina is exceedingly well aetci, and we omitted to notice in oar kst, the humorous and meritorious exer tions of Ar. Harley in his Jack of all trades, it kept the Souse in a roar of lar::;hter. Thnrehty, the combined melo-drama anti mnsi cal entertainment called the D. , ,terlcr of Naples, was r vivo l tip. the purpose of exhibiting Mr. T. P. Cooke a.; Heety, and it is hut justice to say that he acquitted himself most creditably thougii occasionally a little too rt7.9totitheic. The exinisite and interesting performance f by Miss Kelly, is too well known to need our praise. Last night flickerstaffe's opera of Lioael and Clarrssa il:ew a numerous anti fashionable audience. Miss Carew again deligbted us ; if she is inferior to any singer on tv• stage, it is to Miss Stephens only ; but we can positively pronounce her to be a better musician than the Covont Garden Syron. l'earman sang and acted -veil, Miss Kelly gave the little part or Jenny great int " portance, anti Bartley delivered the smitiments of the benevolent Sit John Flowerdak with a gentlemanly case. Miss Stevenson is an improving young actress. Colonel 6hllnw and his fantastical lady lost none of their humour or importance in the hands of Mr. Chat terlr and Mrs. Grove. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of . 7.ent and suite visited the English Opera on Monday, were highly gratified with the entertainments se .le:!ted on that occasion. HAY 31 utKET THE tTRE. rne play of the Africans was revived at this theatre I , on Wedneslay night, after a lapse of six years since its last representation. This revival is likely to carry with it the suffrages of the public: we wish the piece hail leen more flee from the titults peculiarly incidental to modern dra:natie produe.tions, and which generally con cur with other causes to limit the period of their aura. titni—we mean an overflow of ill-placed sentiment, moral aphorisms out of character, with allusions that :re born, and must expire with the occasion that pro. dared them. The play of the .Ifricans, however, pos sesses an innate strength capable of supporting much greatin. weight, since it exhibits many situations of powerful interest, well drawn and contrasted charm ton, together with a story well eoustruetel and judi t amsly developed. The pm-limners, among whom were Nlr. Warde and Miss E. Blanchard, who represented characters of Bc/ico and Berissa for the first time, \erted themselves with unusual skill and success ; and stlle play was given out flr repetition on the remaining nights of the week with universal approbation. Mr. S. Kemble has lieen applinted by the Sub•Com raittee of Drury Lane Theatre, Manager fur the ensu ing season. The dispute between the Committee of Drury Lane Theatre and Elliqou, respecting the Olympic Theatre, has terminated in his favour ; and Cc., Law Officers of -the Crown have repined, that his performances there are no infringements of the patent. The Special Committee and Soh-Committee of Drur: - - lane Theatre have at length declared war against •each other's authority. The firmer have .servel an official notice cn the latter, not to make any engage meats for the ensuing season, without the approbation of the body of the Proprietors ; which notice the Sub 'Committee, it is s dd, refuse to obJy. An official coinnumication has been male by the Bank to the Stock Exchange, that the firmer will, a.; usual, give every facility to the negociators of the New Stock ; that time will, what is technically called, " take ie the Omnium,'' which is, •to make payment of the remainder of the instalments, on being paid interest at .tte rate ct' per cent. fir the money advanced. Representations arc now making to the Admiralty, on the subject of the depredations :.tunmitted on our com merce in the \Vest Indies by the Insurgent privateers ; .a:nong these, the case of the Jupiter is onc of the most prominent. It .is said, that Government only require .the fmts to be fully authenticated, to determine On toe most vigorous measures for the suppression of a nest of freebooters and pirates, who appear to soknowled;, , e n'o. distinction of friend or foe, but to plunder indiscrimi nately all who have the misfitrtune to fall law their han 's. The Privy Council en Monday last determined that the Conneil of Aberdeen of 1816, last legally elected, should meet on the Q:33. of September, and fill up a Council. who again on Michaelmas day should proceed as if they had been the Council of the prevnt year, to an election of Magistrates anti Counsellors of that city for the (nutting year. Tuesday the Lord Mayor held a Court of Aldermen at Guildhall for the purpose of swearing hi selr.Waith man, the new Alderman thr the Ward of Farringdon 'Without, in the room of Sir Charles Price, Bart, 'be te-A:aced. Tt. , :•"t ittlCterv.t COURT CILINCERY.-....SATURDAY, Avo. 8. • +40.-- MIVRV-LANE TIIBATIE. Sir S. Roinilly, on the part (..f a great majority of I the proprietors of :his threttre, moved hi-, Lerdship to grant an Injunction to prevent the Sub-Committee, e.inststing of five persons. from proceeding in engaging any new per"iirmers, or entering into any new contracts oa the behalf of the proprietors, ceesidering the state of their limits. Wlle3 the late theatre wai tiethrtunate ly burnt down, there wore a number of engagements, and an Art of Parliament was passed authorising a Committee of ten persons to raise the Lem of r. 00,0001. in shires of 10e4. cadt, and the shareholders to have votes in proportion to the number of shares. The Legis lature passed a second Art, in which the power of ma nagement was vested in a S::1!-001111111ttet: of five persons, who had full power to appoint a manager and engage performers, Ste. The debts of the theatre amounted to 80,0;i01. and in June last a SAect Committee was ap pointed to investigate the matters ref.nTed to there, and on the Bth of that month they reported, and indeed it was evident, that the true state of affair; must have been !mown to the Sub-Committee. Several resolutions were tianted by the Select Conunittee, which were read and approved of by the General Meeting on the Bth of June. On the 16th of July the Select Committee gave another report of their efforts, and recommeaded the stun of 17,0001. to be raised by loan, and George Coleman, Esq. to he appointed manager. A Special Committee, at the same time, reported, that much of the ineumbrances was occasioned by the facility with which articles were procured from tradesmen, and also from the very great number of orders fir free admission. The report was agreed to by the (ieneral Meeting of Proprietors, at least by a majority or The bill went on to state that no capital remained, but that money must be raised by loan. Large sums were due to the performers, who had consented to receive a composition for their debts on certain terms. The Court was there fore prayed to restrain the Sub-Committee from going on. Ile had no doubt the Court would at once inter fere. The Learned Counsel then at great length went into a detail of the facts, which are already befiire the public. The Lord Chancellor granted the Injunction on this ex-parte application ; but ordered notice to be served on the other side without delay. Seventeen Bankrupt Petitions have been transferred from the Lord Chancellor's paper to that of the Vice Chancellor, who at present proceeds with the Bankrupt Petitions in a manner hitherto unknown in Chancery. Ills Honour wiil he over with his present sittings in a very few days, and the Lord Chancellor will terminate his on the I 3th. The Sittings last year manned till • the end of September nearly ; thus affording a proof of the improvement in dispatch of .business. A series of German Journals to a recent date reach ed us lest night. '►n article, datel Berlin, the telst ult. gives the following account of the late Frankfort fair : The •Frankfort Fair, which is now finished, has turned out, as merchants of this city say, tolerably well fbr our manafactnrers ; there was particularly a great demand for leather and cloth. The English sold their gods this time at higher prices than usual, a•td had not in general brought great quantities with them ; but they had a numerous assortmeut of patterns, on which -they have received very large-orders. Our ma nefacturers therefore know with tolerable certainty what they have to expect from the next fair."

PARIS, %I G. 3 • The investigation into the conspiracy is not much further advanced than it was three weeks ago. tillq is yet known of it at Paris is derived from the reports and rumours, more or leis authentic, publish ed in the journals. We must therefore wait, till the documents to be produced against those accused of this culpable and absurd plot are laid betbre the public, and then we shall be able to leant how titr it meri's any serious attention. General Camel is still in pri ses, and secured in solitary coalman: It, which deprives him of all communication with 'his counsel. lie grievously complains of this tre:rtment through hi.; advocate, M. Berryer, in preliwkary chscrvutions is flivour of M. Canuel, published by that barrister. This defence gives no infbrmatioe about the crime which the•Ceneral is accusal. Scale persons (leclars, that the atlitir :of the conspiracy will be stilted, az; i that the Minister himself, frightened at the gravity ot' the plot, will relent in the proscoution. This would have a strange appearance ; as it, would show thi - A the tribunals were entirely under the control of the nab.- rities, and that the latter could at their pleasure devote victims to jaAice, or snatch them from it.

BOXING. The battle between Painter and Spring for . 'JO guineas aside, and that between Crawley and a i'lare Market Butcher, took place on Friday on the Russia Farm, between par and five miles from Kin6stun, a 21-fect roped ring. Spring and Painter. are well known pugilists, who fought at Michaelham Downs on the Ist of April last, and the former wan in au hour and a half. Oa this combat stinging sums of money have been lost by the very flee ern of the Cog novena, as those who backed Spring "ue , fore, backed hint again heavily at 5 to 2 ; and Puititces former backers, with a few exceptions, were brought over to side. _ _ THE BATTLE.
