MIDDLESFJE kLECTInN. Lord MA R S tf A M role, in purfuance of notice, to faLmit to the 1 de a motion for fixing a day on which to hear, at the Bar, Sir William Rawlins, and R•rbert Albi n Cr.x, Eft!. the Sheriffs of London and .Middlefex, in 18:4, relpeaing whole return of a ICnidit of the Shire for Middlefex, a Committee of the 'inure made, !alt year, a arong report. The Clerk having read at the table feveral precedents of the proceeding.; . .,f the Huufe in fimilar cafes, the Nwhle Lord olrferved, that it was his intention to f ond motion: 0..1 an the precedents which had been jor. read, exec 1,1 e. This was that of the pra6lice of.. amininy Ivi.riefies at the Bar. The other three— Ili: Thai of ti.:: entering into a refolution be co"*: *oil< its ‘iiftlorn, ill the merits of the Report of the',l , nimit•t-e. e ordering R. A. Cox, Efq. z.i. N ilv•lnt eau to the Bar, to be heard by thwoalves or tiAsir Couttfor t ; and, ply, That they be ferved with copies of the charges againit them. With refpe& to the hearing evidence at the Bar, he did not deem that necellary; the evidence given be fore the Committee having been given upon oath : the Members of that Committee thensfelves, having likewife made their report in the molt folemn man ner. If the witneffes were examined;at the Bar, no in formation could be got btu what was obtainzd by the Committee ; and he underftood, that both in regard to this, and to the fixing the healing for Friday, the Firft of February next, were perfedly agreeable to the Gentlemen concerned. There was a precedent of recent occurrence for not hearing evidence ; and in the cafe to which he alluded, which was that of Colonel Cawthorne, the Houfe came to a well-known decition. In that cafe, there was not In conch:five evidence before the Houfe as in the prefent ; at leaft it was the evidence of witnefles at a Court Martial, whole teftimony was never given on oath. As, there fore, delay would be avoided, by the Houfe going into the cafe, without the examination of witpefles at the Bar; tince there was a precedent; fine the parties were fatisfied with the courfe of proceeding he had intimated, he Ihould move " That the Report of the Committee on :he Middlefex Eledtion in 1802, be taken into conlidcration ou Friday. the nth of Fe bruary next, and that the charges therein contained, againft Sir W. Rawlins, and R. A Cox, Efq be !ward at the Dar. " That Sir W. Rawline, and R. A. Coz, kfq. be ordered to attend. _ . . " That Copies of the Charges againft them be (crvcd henceforth on thofe parties." The SPEAKER obferved, that although the No ble Lord had fignified his intention not to examine evidence at the bar, yet it was the praeice to do fo ; and in the cafe of Great Grimfby, to which the pre cedents referred, it took place. Every thing that re lated to the privileges of the Houle, was fo impor tant, that he had thought it his duty to make thefe übfervationb ; to whi:ll he fhould only add, that it would be open to any Member to move for evidence at the bar, if, in the progrefs of difemfiion, he ilionld think fit. The departure which had taken place from the ufual courfe of proceeding, was the occation of thefe remarks. _ _ _ _ _ ------- Mr. FRANCIS role to ail:, for information fake, •• • for what pnrpofe the bolinefs was at all brought be fore the Houfe for contideratiou, if evidence was not to be examined; or upon what quation the Houle was called on to decide ? If the ful-,jet was not to be invefligated at the bar, the Hnuie would have no thing left to do but to adopt the ophlion and seccm mendatiou of the Committee ; and diet:: could be no ufe fr.r the hearing of Courfcl. but he trullcci this meafure would be differently co,-.:idered ; for if the courfc propofed by the Noble Lord were followed, it did not appear to him that any queftion would re main for the difcretion of the Houle. Lord MARSHAM hated, in reply to the Hon. Gentleman, that the quelii.m brought before the Houk for confederation was this, witether, from the whole body of et idence contained in the printed Re port on the table, and which comprehended the fnl left information on both fides of the cafe, the Cort.- mittee was jullified in the inference they made, and in the opinion they had pronounced upon the parties accufed, and alfo whether any pr .cceding Should be initituted grounded on fuel' ophtion ? The Noble Lord repeated his objefftions to the farther examina tion of evidence. Alter tome farther obfervations from the Speaker, the motions, defer ibed by Lord Isl.:Jß:am in his open ing, were put and agreed to. IRISH OFFICERS. &C, Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON gave notice that he wculd on Friday move for the produdi , ,n cf certain papers, the nature of which he was not then prepared precifely to defcribe ; but that they would relate to the fubjeft to which he had in the courfe of the IA &Ilion' taken occafion to call the attention of the Honfe—namely, the payment at Par in this Country of; bah Penfions, and Salaries to La Uthcers, &c.—Adjourned till Thntiday.

Cu MIVIRLAND, again honoured thisTheatre with their pretence lag night, and were, as natal, received with the moll enthufiaftic burfis of applaufe from every part of the houfe, which was crowded to an overflow. God Save the King, was Tung in full chorus, on the entrance of the Royal Party, and Rule Britannia be tween the Play and Farce. The performances were MORTON'S new comedy, and Hartford Brie/gr. Mum- DEN, who was to have performed in both pieces, having been foddenly taken ill, his part in the comedy was fuflained hi BLANCHARD, and that in the farce by•CHERRY, of Drury-lane Theatre, at a. notice of not more than an hour. The latter not being tufE ciently perfat in the tong allotted to him as the re prefentative of Peregrine For t yltr, and, according to the etiquette of the Theatre when the Klan is prefent, no explanation of the cattle of his coming fOrward having been made to the audience, tome fymptoms of &I approbation were manifened on the occafinn, and Mr. CH ERR rin confequence withdrew. On his re appearance, he approached the audience with a de meanor the molt becomingly diffident and retpeCt ful, and thus, as neatly as we can recolleB, addrefied himfelf to them : " With the greateß fubmiffion to this Aucurr Costrwr," (bowing ntoft refpedfully to their Nist es ri is and PRI xcrsqrs), " and to the Audience now before me" (making a &tidal. obeihoize to the other parts of the company)." I come forward to flute the oecaficiii of my appearing in this part tmnight. About an boor ago, the Prompter called at my lodgings, and carnally rape:led me to undertake it. I have not leen the piece for twelve The Lhortnefs of the notice, therefore, !enacted it impoffitile fur toe to recover the part. I conic mently ventured before at the rilk of loling whatever trifling reputation I may have acquired, rather than create ally difappoimment. Had the notice been more timely, I trult, 1 amid have performed the clizradcr more to your fatisfadiou." Here he was interrupted by a bu;ft of applaufe, in which their MA J ESTIES took the lead; the KING, while clapping his bands, moil gracionfly exclaiming " brav9 kayo!" the Qt_r_s EN, at the fame time, ap plauding with the utmott cheerfulnefs and warmth. The performance then proceeded, and Mr. CHERRY, whenever he appeared, received ample teflimonials of the great refpeel which his becoming condua has procured for him. Mr. Iscr.too...'s part was under taken by Mr. TAYLOR, who acquitted himfelf with credit ; and Mrs. MARTYR, (whole kind attention to CHERRY in his mothents of embarraffment the an. dience obfe;ved with obvious pleafure), was fprightly and happy throughout, and in the long of the Pod Horfe Bells received great and merited applaufe.
