THE NEW PARLIAMENT. The business of the new Parliament - waif this day ppened, by the delivery by Commission of the Speech from the Throne.--The Speech, after lamenting the continued indisposition of the KING, proceeded to deplore the additional loss which the Royal Family and the Nation had sustained in the demise of her late, Majesty Queen CHARLOTTE, and called the attention of Parliament, to thi necessity, now that the situa tion which her MaJesrx had so long filled with such exemplary fidelity in the case of the Ktso's person, was become vacant, of revising the Acts which had been passed in that respect. Th e marriage of the Duke of CLAREsce, and re-marriage in this country of the Duke of Kerr, since Parliament were last assembled, were then adverted to in terms of satis ' faction in which his Royal Highness the PRINCE Re- GENT felt assured Parliament would fully participate. Alluding next to the political circumstances of a more general nature under which his Royal Highness had now the happiness of meeting Parliament, he con gratulated them on the rapidly increasing prosperity ,-which the internal state of the country exhibited; on the improvement which has taken place in our trade and manufactures; on the consequent increase of the revenue in all its more important branches; on the great reductions which have been, and are in the course.ef tieing effected, in the n4onal expenditere; on the cunt; nu a;:ce of relations of peace and amity with all the other Powers of Eerore, and on the happy prospect which exists, of these relations remaining long undisturbed. The Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle for the evacuation cf l'rance, and the subordinate Treaties connected v.ith it respecting the payment of the Con tributions, were 1:?re particularly adverted to, and copies of them premised to be laid before both HouseS tier their.information. His Royal Ilii;hness next adverted to the success ful termination of the hostilities which had broken out in India, which had had no other result than to strengthen and consolidate the dominion of Britain is the East. The Sre.ch, in conclusion, expressed a perfect re liance on the wisdom of Parliament, in all its pro ceedin‘‘,,;, and on its readiness to co-operate with his, Royal Ilig:lnes in every measure which may be cow : ducive to of his MAJEsry's Throne, or the good of his people. In the Peers, the Address will, we understand, be moved by the Earl of.W.sa r. - tcx, and seconded by Lord SALTOI:V. In the House, of Commons, Mr. BitowNtow will move, and Mr. in t.r,tAst Pm., the brother (:f thz l.te Right Honourable Secretary for Ireland, will second it. Lcr,l SALTGUN is one or the sixteen Peers of Scotland, and is an Ofliter in the Airriy. Mr. finowNr.ow is "lembrn. for Annaghshire. Some jrtdicions alterations have been made in the gallery, of the !louse of Commons since the last re cso., by which those scenes of confusion and Ono.. will he prevent:d wh . ;:l: formerly occurred at every dlatision on an interesting question.. Lord CASTL2RT.ACU, we are sorry to state, eve rimed yesterday a severe relapse of the gout, which 'confined his Lordship to his room. His Lordship had invited between thirty and forty Noblemen and Gen., I tlemen to dine wish him yesterday, and not being ablei to meet them, Lord STRWART did the honours of the table in his Lordship's absence. Among the company invited there were present—the Earl of LIMERICK, Earl of ABERDEEN, Lord BINS,ING, Sir WM. SCOTT, Sir WiLLIANI GRAN r, Mr. ARBLT/INOT, &C. THE QUEEN'S PICTURES.—There are a great num ber of valuable Cabinet Pictures and Miniatures in Buckiu•hani which were the private pro perty of the QUEEN, though they arc not mentioned in her MAJESTY'S Will, and the hall and staircase display some of the finest works of the elegant artist CANALETTI, painted when he was England. Titese will probably now be added to the rit!NER RE;;ENIT'S Collection. The celebrated Cartoons of Rarttart were formerly placed in Buckingham House, but have since been removed to Hampton Court, where they now remain. Eartr. POULETT, LT.—By the lamented and un-, expected demise of this excellent Nobleman, (though his countenance and figure indicated the most excel lent health), the Lord Lieutenantey of Sorrersetshire, as also a Breen Ribbon of the Order cf the Thistle, and a Lordship of the King's Bedchamber, become vacant. The late Earl, in 1782, married, first, MARY, the only daughter of Admiral Sir GEORG: POCOCKE, K.B. by whom he had several children: The eldest son, Lord HINTON (now Earl I'otLETT) was born in 1783, and was a Member of the last Parliament. Ills Lordship married, secondly, .iot long since, Lady . &arm BURGESS, relict of Sir J. S. &mien, Bart. FinE.—A destructive fire broke oot on Tuesday night, at the house of the Rev. EDWARD Y!ASLEY, at Stoke Burnham, Herts, which totally destroyed, the house, together with a valuable library , and fur -. niture, not a vestige of which was saved. The fire broke out in the laundry, in the centre of the bottom of the house, where the servants had been washing after bed-time, and the inmates had enough to do to save their lives. Mr. YLASLEY and part of bis fa niily were in London. It is said - that the library only was insured. A young man of respectable connexions, confiden tial Clerk to a Merchant in Manchester, eloped on Monday mu' ning with cash, notch. bills, &c. to the amount, as stated, of £lO,OOO. He was soon missed, and his Master, learning that he had 11,0ne by the coach to Liverpool, proceeded . thither with all pot sible dispatch. Ilaving learnt that the delinquent was at the Crown Inn, he procured' the a , sistance of' a Constable, and proceeding to his bod , room, took him into custody as he was dressing bins : self. lie was taken before a Magistrate, who commuted liim to Pie Town Prison; from whence he was rranqerred.. to NlAnchester by the mail-coach. It kepis 'the delin quent intended to etnbark fur America. THEATRES. litno t a Tneatain—Tuesday there Was a General, Rehearsal of the forthcoming new Opera, PaliGna Algiereta, at this Theatre. The music is by Itos-1 suit. If we should venture an opinion upon its rits from the specimens which we heard, Iva should speak of it in favourable tennis. Some of .the Airs struck us as very delightfuL In the Symphonies and Accompaniments there is much original fancy; Madame Gaoacit Bitiwitsit sustains the principal character. This Lady comes from the Theatre La Scala, at Milan, where she has earned the double fame of being' an actress and a singer of the first rink. Her treble notes are not so mellifluous as those of Madame FODOR, nor can they ascend so high as those of CATALAN!, whose voice we have heard quiver at the top of the scale, like a lark's in a summer sky. Her forte ,appears to be in her tenor. When her voice subsides to that key, she pours it forth in one rich volume, somewhat resembling the deep and mellow tone of the flute, but far sat passing it in harmony. Signor FLACCI seems to have been engaged in the place of NALDI, whose ill health last season frequently interrupted the exertion of his un• questioned talents. Signor Piece' has a fine bass voice,. and he combines with great strength of tone an occasional lightnes=, and, it we may ese the ex pression, an agility of movement, which is at the same time manly and graceful. The boxes arc all newly painted. The mouldings of the compartments in the pannels over the first tier are richly gilt.' The ground on the pannels over the second tier has been retouched. so as to throw the grouper of figures more inWi. the light. The grounds of the pannel s o ver th e third and fourth tiers are alternately blue and pink. The cieling remains as before, but the gilding on its borders and on the proscenium has been refreshed. The tops of all the boxes arc festooned, and. when the Theatre is lighted, the appearance of the House will be brilliant and cheerful--A collection of the most popular Operas now performing on the Conti nent has been added to the Musical Library of the Theatre, for the purpose of being brought ferv:ard in the quickest possible succession. In forming the Corp: de linh'ct, an arrangement was entered into with Mademoiselle LE Onos, Monsieur PALL, and Monsieur retIDINANC) ; but from Mr..Warens's de -dining so far to injure the present Establishment as to give up Signor GARCIA% services to the Italian Opera in Paris, the contracts of these artists have been absolutely forbidden to be fulfilled. From the same school, however, a selection of talent, not so singularly restricted, has been made. The terms de manded by Madaine CATALAN' thr the ensuing sea son were—a sum of £5OOO, a Benefit to produce £lOOO, a coach; a dinner of fourteen covers daily, and liberty to sing at Concerts, as she pleased ! It is al most superfluous to add, that these extravagant terms were refused. CoSsier (Limn:N.—The return of Miss STEPHENS to her professional duties at this !louse, after reaping a rich and well-culled harvest in the Sister Isle. last night attracted an audience not more numerous than splendid. She appeared as Diana l'ernon, in the very amusing and successful Drama of 1:o5 Roy. The enthusiastic plaudits which marked her entrance stimulated her to the most powerful exertion ; and certainly the lovers of genuine unsophisticated bar ninny never enjoyed a more delicious treat than her l extriisite performance afforded. She was repeatedly encored ; but the song of " John Highlandnian; aohich she executed with surpassing • talent; manded almost unprecedented applause. tlr. Du- RUSET appeared, for the first time, as Francis qshal... distotee. He supported the character, with reference both to speaking and singing, extremely well. In consequence of the demise of poor TOKELY, EMERY performed the part of Dovgal. He gave to the cha racter all that savage roughness and barbarous cun ning by which it is distinguished in the original. Tile ,other characters were represented as heretofore. Mr. Macazany's Rob Roy, had he performed no other , character, would entitle him to the character of a man of genius. Mr. LISTON, who appeared to be snore than usually full of frolic and humour, was admirable as Nicol Jarvie. The little part of Major Galbraith was exceeding!? well sustained by Air. TAYLOR ; and the wife of the Macgregor was repre sented with considerable force by .Nlrs.-FAUCIT. AISERICAte THEATRICALS.—Sirs. BARTLEY con eluded her engagement at the New York Theatre on the 2lst. of December, in the character of Jul%o, in axi Dumb—Mr. BARTLEY was dui Abbe D L'Epte. Mr. WALLA= concluded hie engagement :It HoF,ton, and was expected to return to New York. The Charleston Southern Patriot, of 2 4 4th Nove:nber, says-- ,, Last night terminated Mr. PHILIPPS'S Suc cessful engagement, with a benefit of fourteen hun dred and forty-one dollars. Such an assemb!age of fashion and beauty we have never before witnessed in our theatre. Upwards of 300 persons were com pelled to go away from want of room." The next most succebsful benefit has been that of Mr. COOPER, at Philadelphia, whose first appearance, in Macbeth, Iptoduced 1,123 dollars. _Potty OF LIVERPOOL.—The following is an ac count of the number of vessels reported at the Cus mm-hoitse for the year 1818, without including the vessels employed in the coasting trade : From Europe - 807 British from Foreign Porte - - 8:17 Foreign from Foreign Ports - - 556 Ireland and Ibie.of Man - 1924 Total . xceectng the arrivals in the preceding year by 717. The number of vessels arrived from the East Indies last year (and included in the aboVe statement), was 'S4, comprising 26,852 tons. The number which has cleared out from this port since the opening of this trade exceeds one hundred.—The number of vessels employed in the coasting trade (inclUding th ose from.

ST Aym,--Tuesday last, Mrs. Lees, who resided in the Nursety-grounds, Ear rey-road, went front her house to purchase some :sr ticks at a shop in Lliackfriurs-road, and left her child, Lliza Lees, a girl about ten years of ve, alone in the house ; a short time after her ole_ence the neighfunsillood was alarmed by the cries of " and the daughter of Mrs. Lees was seen running cut of her mouser's !rouse enveloped 'in flames ; the neighbours rendered every assistam• in their power to extinguish the fire, and afterwards carried her to Guy's Hospital, v.isete she expirel. The injury she reeeived was too exteesive and severe to lain:it of description. While some of the eeighLoars were carrying the child to the Ilospital, went tis look for the mother ; at the end Gf Blackfr'ars- oad they met several watchmen carrying a woman upon a- shutter ; one of the neighbours exclaimed, " Good GOD, it is Mrs. Lees 1 - a!;.I upon examining the person suds was the extraordinary fact. Mrs. Lees, it appeared, was crossing 13;,ackfr:ars-road, when same fellow, with liale prudence, and less humatky, rode full gall)p up the street, his Lsnse knot ked Mrs. Lees (Town and trampled upset her, and he rode ou as it nothing had happened, although loudif called after to stop. The watchmen, who were going to convey Mrs. Lees to an lloslical, carried her to her house, when a surgeon was sent for, who said there was not the most remote chance of her re covery, and in the evening she expired. An Lem st was held yesterday at Guy's. i lospital upon the child; siutt=seierdiersesrs veturned by the Jury—Acciden tally burned to death Tuesday morning, as one of the Mel:wall •t a;;; - .- coaches was on its way thither, near Limelsonst•-ct.t, goi - at a nioderate rate, one of the hinder wheels came.olf, and overturned the coach, which was at the time laden with passengers. Thomas 13agster, the driver, was precipitated from his seat and sje red in a dreadful manner, but fostunately none of the passengers were matcri.llly hurt. The coachman was taken up in a state of insensibility and carried to the London Hospital, where every assistance was af forded him ; but all efforts tailed, he died shortly af ter the accident happened in much pin. One of his legs was broken. Several-young men of Birmingham, who were edu cated at the Blue-coat School of that town, have formed themselves into a Society, and agreed to de posit a per tentage of their respective earnings to fit a fund, to make an annual gift to the Instituric rt which fostered them in their e4fly youth. The first prisoner put to the bar, at the West Kent Quarter Sessions, on Monday morning.last, was a female of the name of . Jane Majnard, charged with bigamy.—John Thomas produced 4,fopy of the re gistcr of the prisoner's first marriage, at Valding, on the 10th of January, 1809, .in the name c:f Jane Crouch, to Thomas Maynard.—Joseph Palrner pro. dnced the copy of register of the prisoner's marriage on the 10th of Ang List, 1818, at Limberhurst, by the name of Jane Maynard, to Joseph Waters. Both marriages were fully proved.—T. Jarrett proved that the first husband was new living at Cranbrook, and had lived there a year and a half. Before that he had lived in the pari.h of Brenchley. Witness saw him oSWednesday st ' i night—The prisoner, in her defence, said she thought her former husband was dead.—His Lordship in pasting seauence, told the prisoner she could not even have the excuse of be. lieviug her first busbind was dead. per's was a case &sea ving of severe punishment, and the Court, therefore, adjudged she should be transported for seven years. At the late East Riding Sessions, held at Beverley, iu Yorkshire, an unusual number of :atrocious crin.i nals were brought up for trial, and sentence ct trat.s portation passed upon the greatest part of them.— Among them was the mother of Showden whose g an g wls for many years the terror cif the East Riding, and who owed the greatest part of their crimes to her instruction—her first husbard 'having been hanged and her second transported. At , the bar, she presented something of the 'grotesque figure of Meg Merrilies, and after sentence was passed on her by the Chairman, she threw up her hands towards heaven, and hoped " the ALM.IGUTY would sink the whole Bench to perdition ! ! In this Profligate state she was taken back collie jail to un dergo her further punishment, should her advanced age allow a continuance in life to undergo it.—At this Sessions Colonel-Cervaz mired the Chair, which he had filled for some years with great ability, 'and 14r. BEtIIBL, Of Rise, was elected Chairman to his room. iR if 111 toi.
