KING'S THEhME. . The Concerts .Spirituel closed last night at this Theatre, wherethe announcement of Madame CATA LA NI had collected a most numerous and splendid audience. Printed bills, however, containing a certificate from her physician informed the visitors on their arrival that that Lady is . aftieted with so severe a.cold, that it was impossible for her to sing. Public good humour over cahie the feeling of disappointment, and all went on quietly .till the end of the first part, when the Gallery having received a sudden accession of numbers. loud calls were made for Madame CATALAN!, and cries of 4 : raised whenever any of the Performers ap peared. Mr. BENELLI came forward and attempted to address the House, but the tumult having extended to the Pit he could not he heard. An attempt was then Made ;o pacify the Public by singing COD save the King; Mtn it only produced greater uproar; and after two stanzas bad been given amidst the noise, the attempt Os- abandoned. A board was . then di relayed on the stage with this inscription, 0 , Madabit OMANI has been sent for." 'This produced much applause, which was greatly increased a few minutes after, when the board was again introduced with these words :.••• 44 Madame CdTALANI is coming." All was now anxious expectation, and at the end of about a quarter of an hour Madame CATALAN' entered, looking extremely ill, and led by an English Gentleman. She appeared . much agitated, and made several obeisances in the midst of general ap plause. She then took a seat, and her conductor ap peared desirous of addressing the House. Io a few mo ments the deepest silence prevailed, when he came for ward and said " that Madame CATALAN' was suffer ing since the morning, from so severe a cold and hoarse ness, that she could not utter one note; that she had delayed sending notice to the last, in the hope of being able to make an attempt, and that to give the Public a proof that it was not want of will on her part, she had jest quitted a sick bed and was now before them,— Under done circumstances would the au dience, of which he was one, insist on her making an ay.cini,t, which could only be ;.,jurious to her ?" Here, to the credit of the audience, a general cry of " o, no!" arose. Madame CATALAN' addressed a few words to the Gentleman, who once more came forward and said : " Madame CATALAN' wishes me to express her gratitude, and sincere regret at not being able to satisfy the Public. She will en deavour to make it up another time. She has done everything to prove that Ability is wanting, but not good will, forehe has quitted a sick bed to present herself before you, and here she ii." This address wa..; received with marks of universal approbation. Madame CATALAN!, who was in cliska title, rose and bowed repeatedly, putting her hand to her heat, and shedding teals. She then retired, accom panied with the loud applause of the audience. The second pat: of the Concert then proceeded and a new gland Symphony by the veteran CLEMENT', a terzetto till" three h:trps by Mes.4rs. BAUR, CUATTERTON, and. DAVIES, and a new Military Concertoon the violin by Kit.EWET r Ea, excited much admiration. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, APRIL 9. An appeal against the con'viction of D. Griffiths, E:q. was heard, in which Mr. Thomas Wadmore, a paw nbi oker, was the appellant. It was an information by Tucker, an informer, charg ing Mr. Wadmore with having taken from one Eliza beth DI tucker the eum of I Id. upon a pledge of 3s. for eteveh mi,nths, being 2J. more than the Act of Par liament allows, for which he was fined 51. and the Magisti ate ordered the complainant to be paid 7s. for her costs out of the tine. Mr. tioLLAs.:D, for the appellant, rose to make an ob jection, upon which alone he tested the appeal. The Act of Pen liamea imposes a fine of St. and not more than 101. the appellant was fined in the finmer sum, half of which is ordered to be given to the vor of the pari , ll, and half to the informer; now he contended, that the Magistrate having appropriated a portion (seven shil lings) otherwise than the Act allows, de,troys altogether the adjudication, because ist that ca:x the Act could not base been complied with. Mr. ALLET•contended, on behalf of the respondent, *that there was a summary power by a succeeding sec tion of the Act in ordering thoexpenses to be 4,aid. The CHAIRMAN agreed with Mr. Alley, and the con viction was confirmed. . The family of the Ex-Empetor ITtl; RIDE set out from Leghorn on the S9th of Mardi for England. Minister of France having refused to give them paisports to t::,vel through that kirgdorn, they hate been obliged to take another By an Order in Council a duty of 3s. 6d. per ton has been laid on French shipping. This duty is imposed under the Reciprocity Act, for the purpose of placiwy. •the trade of the two countries nil an ulna': t9otinj. English vessels in French ports having for a lo.:g period •been subjected to a similar duty. By returns just laid before the House of Commons,l and Ordered to be printed, it appears that the official value of goods exported from Great Britain to New South Wales and Van Dieman's Land, in 1822, was I'6 5131. 14s. 1 ld. whereas, in 1823, the amount was S3l. 7s. ld. being a diminution of 2,7851. 7s. 10d. Tile number of ships cleared out for the same depen dencie, in 1822, wits 35, and they carried out 873 pas senger s. lir 1823, there were 38 vessels and 676 pm senger , . It must be borne in mind that New South Wale: and Van Dieman's Land participated in the agri eultural distie,s which was recently felt with so much - Se'vetity in the United Kingdom . ; and that circtimst :ince may so far satisfactorily account for the decline in the commercial intercourse uetwecn the Colonies and the Mother Country which the Parliamentary Returns indi cate, as to b:io,v that it pr oceeded from temporary causes. INSOLEENT DEBTORS' COURT, APRIL 9.. iV THE MATTIM or LORD CHARLES Srmas CHURCHILL. Charles Spencer Churchill, Esq. (commonly called or known as Lord Charles Spacer Churchill) came up for, final hearing, his case having stood over, by adjou rn ment, since November last. The petitioner was opposed by Mr. CooKE, on behalf of Messrs. Auweod and Company, the assignees of W. Simpson, late of St. Alban's, innholder, a bankrupt; and also for several other creditors, resident in that' horeugh : beyond which, three or four London credi tors appeared in person; but they, with one exception, withdrew their opposition. Mes,;-s. PoLtocx and HEATH appeared for the peti tioner, and to explain matters relating to the trustees of the will of the late Duke of Marlborough, the noble petitioner's father. • Mr. Cooke examined the insolvent, who stated that he was a Captain in the 85th Regiment of Foot, retired on half-pay, which consisted of 7s. per diem : he had no other source of income, beyond an allowance of 4001. a.year from the trustees under the will of his noble father, deceased. This allowance was discretionary, he imagined, as it lvid been withheld thrice from him on particular occasions, and he had every reason to believe it was now suspended. lle was the second son of the late Duke, next to the present Duke of Marlborough ; and in the event of the demise of the Marquis of Bland-. ford, a middle brother, he was next in succession to the Dukedom. In the year 1818, he stood two election contests for the borough of St. Alban's; .the first of which was fruitless, and the last successful. It was during this effort that he incurred debts which now formed the ground of opposition, notwithstanding he had paid 3,0001. in part discharge of the first bills. In order to effect this, he borrowed the money of a gentle. man, named Simpson, to whom he gave a bond. This was just before he made his second effort. Several of his debts were contracted in London after he obtained his seat in Parliament, and while in the pursuit of his legislative duties. There were items in his schedule; for jewellery, &c. but he did not at present possess any such articles, nor any person in trust for him. Mr. COOKE declined putting any more questions to the insolvent, but would address the Court. After hesl-1 tat ing some time— The CHIEF COMMISSIONER told Mr. COOKE they were' waiting for the first sentence of his address. The Learned Gentleman then said, that he repro.; sented a mass of cieJitors whose debts were in the ag- I gregate of large amount; yet he must confess that he 'felt himself unable to offer any remarks which would arraign the Noble Lord, and bring him under the ope- 1 ration of the ',mil clauses of the Act of Parliament. He would, however, submit to the Court, that the young Nobleman before it had been esti avagir nt, although his conduct was not to be measured by the same rule as that of others in a different sphere of life, when the cir cumstances attending the contractions of the debt were taken into consideration. Notwithstanding the conces sion, he (Mr. Cooke) should not feel justified were he not to rental k, that the Noble Lord, whose income did not exceed 5901. a-year, ought not to have let his ambi tion aspire to the extent it had, at the expense of other persons; for in this Nobleman's attempt to obtain a seat in the Legislative Assembly he had speculated with f..e property of others. The Learned Gentleman went on to observe, that he was aware that the Court had no controul over the 4004 a-year allowed by the trustees, but he trusted that a rule would be ordered, which would convey the whole or a large portion of the peti tioner's half-pay to assignees under the estate for the benefit of the creditors generally. .He doubted not but the Noble Lord, considering his high descent; felt great', humiliation by being placed in that Court as a peti- ' tioner ; and that that feeling was increased when he re flected that he had inflicted an irreparable injury on others. The Learned Advocate concluded by an earnest appeal to the Court relative to the half-pay. Mr. Pou.ocx, on behalf of the petitioner, expressed that he felt as much distressed as his Learned Friend was at seeing the situation in which his noble client was placed; hut he apprehended that the ideas enter tamed by his friend relative to what was and what was not extravagance, would not be entertained by the Court. That the debts on his Lordship's schedule were large, he could not deny; yet the Court would look at the circumstances coml. cted with, the contraction of a great part of them. It was quite clear that they were not per sonally contracted by his noble client, but arose out of, a contested election, when, as every one knew, houses sere open to what are termed the candidate's friends, who eat and drink promiscuously, and " mine host" presuming that all would be paid. In this species (f friendship the worthy and independent burgesses had not been behindhand, as was clear from the enormous bills, the subject of which was now a matter of cam plaint. The Court would also remember, that he car ried down 3,003/. to St. Alban's, at the second election, to keep the voters in good humour; so that they had not suffered ro much as they might hove done by giv ing a wanton lavish credit. Ile submitted to the Court that his noble client was entitled to the benefit he sought. Mr. HEATiI having been heard on the same side, and some amendments made to the schedule, and a tran script from the voluminous will of the late Duke of Marlborough attached, The Crime COMMISSIONER pronounced the judgment of the Court. He felt bound to say, that no ca s e had been made out against the petitioner which would war rant the Court to detain him. 'I be Court coincided irr the opinion which had been urged in exculpation; and, with the exception of one tradesman, no creditor ap peared to oppose the discharge beyond those on whose claims the law would not detain him for a day. With r::pect to the half-pay, the Court would, make no order at present, his further allowance was only discretionary. The judgment of the Court was, that he be discharged. Mr. HEATH, on behalf of the trustees under his fa l ther's will, said, nota single bosaide creditor of the Noble Lord would be damnified by the present application. BANKERS Pa acEr...The parcel containinv, accept ances, vouchers, letters, Ste. addressed to the firm cf Wentworth, C. balmier, and Co. bankers, Wakefield, which was supposed to have been taken ;n ,um the van of Deacon, Harrison, and Co. on its way to Stamford, and which now appears not to have been deposited therein, has got into certain hands (as was the case of the Ipswich .C. 70,000 bank e r s ' pac k et ) w ho have modestly Offered to negotiate its restoration to the agents of the firm In London for a specific pecuniary consideration. This proposition, which is similar to a tom promise of felony, has been indignantly rejected by the bauker3.

CFNERV, SIMITE, OF IMDD.4.IL . Tuesday, the 30th ultimo, the Tenantry of the estate of Hoddam, in Annandale, with a few friends, as . seirilikd in the Grapes Inn, Ecclefechan, to celebrate the Ui day of their generous and excellent Landlord. At hal:• past five a company of fifty sat down to dinner, the Rev. Mr. l'onsTouw, of Hoddam, in the Chair, and tire Rev. Mr. NIVESON, of Middlebie, Croupier. The cloth being removed, The Rev. CHAIRMAN rose, and in an elegant speech expressed his warm participation in the object of the Meeting, complimented the company on the pleasing' relation which had given rise to the festivity, and con cluded by proposing " The health of Major-General Sharpe, of Ilochlatn."- • The toast was drank with enthusiastic cheering, three times three. The CHAIRMAN next begged leave to give a health which he was sure every one present would warmly join in—the health of a Gentleman willing as well as able to do good— " John Irving Ezq. of Newbie, M.P." whose liberal dona tion vf X5O to the poor of Dotldam, a parish with which he was so slenderly connc 4 cted, deserved the highest praise.—The toast was drank with ..11 the honours. " Mrs. Sharpe and the other branches of the fatally of Hoddam" were sUCCESSiV-i1 proposed by different Gentlemen, and cordially draLli..—Next followed " Mr. Douglas, Of Neworchyord," whose late kindness to the poor of Hoddam all welt knew. .6 Sir Thomas Kirkpatrick, Dart. the Sheriff of the Cotirty." " Mr. Hope Johnstone, of Annandale, a rival it tr , his tenantry."—" His Grace the Duke of Buccletigh."—" Mr. Mair, of Wystby."—" Major Crichton."—" Mr. Blackadder."—With many other equally appropriate toasts. The CROUPIER being called upon, in a few well con nected sentences prposed the health °lbis Reverend Fa ther in the Chair, who retained thanks in a bi jet . hffl. energetic speech.—About eight o'clock these Revel cud' Gentlemen ithdrew, but their places were not left without a series of faithful and able occupants. Their general gaiety and vivid flashes of true Scotch wit ever and anon set the table in a mat. Songs and speeches entertained the party ; and a large punch-bowl, likened by one present to a Carlisle peck, continued to transmit its soul enkindling tide to the remotest corners of the apartment. At length, having continued their hilarity till even the landlord's clock was heard proclaiming that midnight had arrived, the company broke up, each taking his road home—his head busied with many things, among which, we dare say, the hope of attending next year a similar festivity, was nut wanting. POLICE LVTELLIGENCE. 130 W-STREET. PENSION. DAY.—George Trigg was brought before Mr. Watts yes terday, by Morrison, one of the horse patrol, on a charge of having stolen certain monies from the person of Christiana Bright, the pro perty of her husband, George Bright. George Bright was once a full private in a marching regiment, and his wife was the pride of the baggage-waggon ; but their regi mental marching, have long been over, and they are now reduced ' to travel for their bread out a pension of three-pence a day. This was their account of themselves; but in plain English they are va gabonds professed—mumpers, covered with dust and rags, wandlr ing from village to village in search of any little odd matters which may happen to be astray. Last Thursday they were returning from London with a quarter's pension, and they turned into the Bull's Head, at 'Whetstone, fur a " drink of beer." At the Bull's Head they met with their old friend George Trigg, vho is pig-killer in general to the village of Whetstone, and being very glad to see him, they asked him to drink with them for old acquaintance sake. George Trigg was nothing loth, and they were very merry, and Many other old acquaintance there assembled were as merry as 'themselves; but, in the ene!, George Trigg possessed himself of all that was left of the pension-money---et least such was Mrs. Bright's opinion. She carried it, she said, tied up safely in the cor net of the handkerchief she wore round her neck, and Trigg taut *at handkerchief from her, and returned it empty. Morrison, the patrol, stated that when he was called into the gull's Head to take Trigg into custody, he never witnessed such a scene in the whole course of his lite before : there were about twenty of them, all drunk ; Bright ard his wife were so far gone, that they lay at full length or, the floc,; and Trig himself was hi little better condition. li.mes- , !r, he took hint into custody, bu• he found no money at all upon bin), and he understood that, though he bore rather a wild sort of character in the neighbourhood, he was generally accounted honest. The Magistrate now asked Mr. Trigg what he had to say to it? and he made a very excellent defence, for a pig-killer.—" Bless your heart and soul, Sir !" said he, " I knows no wore about the money —nn, I wish I may die if I do—no more nor an unborn bobby! Mrs. Bright says to me, says she- -' Your eyes, George! come and have some eggs and bacon Tbank'• kindly, old wo man; says 1, but I've gut no money.'—' D.mg the money,' says she, come along, lad, fur I've got plenty, and I'll give you a jolly good tuck-out fur once—yoi mouldy rogue, you !'—' Weil, stop a bit,' says 1, 'till I've been oO t e,Lack Mr.Wiggins's pig, and then I'll be with you in a jiffy.' SO, eften I'd stuck Mr. Wiggins's pig— only a little bit of a porker it was--I went to 'em at the Bull's Head, and a desperate sight uf eggs and bacon we bad, sure enough, and a quart of sum at a time, and plenty of beer ; and the old wo man was so gay that she eramni'd the eggs down her husband's throat, with the shells on, and put her bonnet behind the fire, and burnt it all to tinder, because the old fool could not swallow 'ens* fast enough." " But what has all this to do with the money ?" said his Worship —interrupting the thread of Mr. Trigg's sprightly'defeoce—" Why don't you tell us what became of the pension-money ?" " What became of it, your Worship !" replied Mr. Trigg, " Dash me ! if I know ; but I shohld think they spent it all; for it would cost any Gentleman a pound a-day to get so comfortably drunk as they were—let alone the treating !" There was no evidence whatever to fix Mr. Trigg with the rob ' bery, and therefore the Magistrate ordered him to be discharged ; but the patrol informed his Worship that Mr. Trigg had made a most violent resistance when he took him into custody, and had struck him repeatedly. Mr. Trigg pleaded intoxication in reply to this charge, and the Magistrate lined him Ss. for being drunk. Letters from Copenhagen state, that such •is the scarcity of money in Denmark, that the Goiernment have'cleter mined upon a reduction of the Ar.ny. It is also in contemplation to diminish the enormous Taxes with which the inhabit:ins of that country• are burthuned. _ . . At Leghorn, some merchants •who have arrived from Egypt, report that the VICEROY has been commissioned by the SULTAN to reduce the Mores. He intended therefore to mint k 50,000 of his Negro troops, wbo are well disciplined.—At the end of January there were very heavy rains at Cairo, which i- a very rare circumstance in Egypt ; they destroyed several hot•es. Monday, a disposiCron to riot was manifested by a large proportion of the mechanics of Macclesfield en gaged in the silk trade, in consequence of a disagree went beween them and the manufacturers. The work men assembled in great numbers in the afternoon, and it was found necessary to call in the aid of the Stock. port Yeomanry to preserve the peace; but we are happy to learn that the populace dispersed at night, without committing any serious mischief, . and we hear the grounds of difference have been adjusted. A great national undertaking has been brought for ward in the North of England, for which a Bill has been brought into Parliament, and has been twice read, we understand, in the House of ecmrnons, without attract ing that great interest which it is sure to attain when the particulars are pubEled. It is proposed to open coal mines in a district of nearly 103 square miles, situated in the north-west of the county of Durham, where it is ascertained there are coals. A rail-w Ay runs down to the coast, and as there is a descent to the shore, the coals will be shipped at a small c.xpense in the vicinity lof stockton. flOrsß TAR . ............_ A Return has just been made to the House of Com mons of the number of persons assessed to the inhabited House Tax in each County in England and Wales,from which we abstract the tollowin-g 'totals: Houses from £2O to E:10 per arm., 640•50—.-Itental XI ,443,r11 Ditto - £3O to £4O 37,616 - 1,214,866 Ditto - £4O to /50 21,718 - 909,57,0 Ditto -15 u and upwards 43.545 - 3,824,89^ Total 167,829 7,393,576 The number of the above in London and Westmin ster are as follows : Houses front £1:0 to £3O per ann.
