DIZURY-LAAE THEATRE. At the end of the Play (7Se Rood Se Buis) an Saturday night, Cavawn mg a /rents iris from Seusineaside, is character. The applause was proportioned to the excellence of the performanoe. It was prodigiously great, and an encore would have been the con eel/pence, had not the length and difficulty of the task rendered it smatter little short of inhumanity. The unrivalled Centsitriee was therefore allowed to sing Rule, heihnenio in its stead, and she gave it in a style which almost surpasses even imagination. After the enthusiastic applause with which her exertions bad been received had subsided, Mr. P.Ltaston appeared : Ile announced the Play for Monday, and then informed the }louse, that in consequence of the immense gratification which the public had derived from the talents of Madame CATALAmt, a second e ngagement had been formed with that Lady, which would . cool enenee on the 7th July, when she would appear in anew character. Till that time the performances would be chiefly for benefits, and h e s hould lake the Hhetty of recommending to the benevolence and philanthropy of the audience the benefit of Airs. Bustin, who had spent forty-two years of her life on the Stage. He should also re commend that for the widow and children of the Late Mr. Oxaesev, oho had trod those boards. With respect to the prolongation of the Season, it was not done at his nom inn' ation, though, as lessee of the Patent of the Theatre, h e h a d a fi g h t to k eep i t open t h e whole year.—This address was well r rived, and the splendid e ig Drama of the Revolt of Ike Creeks concluded the night's amusements in a brilliant and spirited manner. BOW-STRELI-.1 HIS DAY. Sir John Cox Hippisley tirslr;Tummoned a hackney coach man for refusing on Friday to drive him the full distance for which he bad hired him. Sir John described the coachman to have be haved extremely ill towards him. The coachman, in his defence, said, Sir John had hired him on Friday, at Charing-cross, but on turning round, he saw he had got his dirty feet on the cushions of the coach, which had cost him four guineas only last summer. He requested him to take them down, but which he refused to do. He stopped at Cants's, and on again gttticit into the coach, he placed his feet on the cushions again. On his arrival at Somerset House, the coachman said, if he continued to put his feet on the cushions, he would not proceed, and in this he persisted. Sir Itscuann MIMI, and his brother Magistrates bore testimony to the extremely good character of the defendant, who had on for mer occasions been the means of bringing to punishment several heinous offenders. They, however, intimated to the coachman that his course should have been to have driven Sir John to the end of his order, and then summoned him for the damages. Sir John said, after what he had heard, if the defendant would my he was sorry for it, he would drop the matter. This was done, and the summons dismissed. Yesterday, the Lou CHANCELLOR had an audience of the Kim. Saturday, the Duke of WELLINGTON had an au dience of his llistiovr. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had a select parry toslinner on Saturday, at his residence in Downing-street. ' A Gentleman who resided many years in Mexico, has received, per the ship VALOROUS, from Vera Cruz, a large as. sortment of the most beautiful specimens of the Minerals of that Country, to be presented in the name of the Executive Govern ment of Mexico, to Mr. Secretary Canneo, as an instance of their respect for his high talents and liberal sentiments. The. Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND gave an elegant entertabment on Saturday, at Northumberland House, to Prince Rens d'Ebersdorff Lobenstein et Gera, the Duke of York, the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Camden, the Marchioness of Hert ford, the Earl and Countess Bathurst, the Earl and Countess of Lansdale, Baron *nee!, Lord and Lady Lovaine, Lord Glenlyon, Lord Prudhoe, Sir W. and Lady Harriet Wm. Wynn, Lady Lucy Clive, and the Rev. Thomas Singleton. In the evening her Gtace entertained a select party of the ,said ton. The Highland Ball at WILLIS'S Rooms, on Friday night, was most splendid. It would be next to impossible to enume rate the Company; suffice it to say, that all the principal Scottish families were present, including— The Duke and Duchess of Richmond, Duke and Duchess of Argyll, Marquis and Marchioness ei Huntly, Earl and Countess of Breadalbane, Viscount and Viscountess Melville, Lord and Lady Gwydyr, Sir Wm. Elliot, Hon. John Stuart, Geo. Campbell, &c. New JUDGE.—Mr. Justice Ricrimussorg having -re signed his nines as Pointe Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, in consequence of his indisposition, it is said that Mr. Gamma will succeed to the vacancy. The new Bishop of CHESTER has adopted the Irish costume of not wearing a wig. Lord (Imolai has made the same woad upon the judicial habits of former times. Tire present race of physicians, however, were the first to set the example. General Rufus PUTNAM, the only surviving Ameri can Officer of that rank belonging to the revolutionary army, lately died in the State of Ohio. General Errata &TIC is now the only Officer who may be said to have belonged to WA SH/113/0)1 . 11 time. A fire broke out yesterday afternoon at four o'clock, in the house of a shoemaker. situated between the White Hart, and Harrow, Itgb.street, Poplar, which was totally consumed before the flames were extinguished, and damaged the house adjoining. The chief attention of the Neapolitan Court of late has been taken up by the visit of the Archduchess bit era Louisa, the widow of Bo: carats= So far as can be judged from external appearances, she is not very deeply affected at the 104 of her hus band; and even bears the privation of an Imperial diadem phi losophically enough. Her venerable relative, King FIUMINANO, is making every effort to amuse her; and she enters very readily into an the schemes proposed with that view. His Mamas , even drives her in his barouche on the Corso. This is the more remarkable, both because be never paid his Qualm that honour, and also be cause it is a rule which he has long observed not to appear on the Corso at ail. On the 21st, the august traveller went to the Royal seat of Persano, whence she visited the striking ruins of Pastum. On the 213th, she sent in person through the illberge de Poecri, and noticed all the arrangements of that Institution. The day fol lowing she partook of the amusements of the annual festival held at the Royal Villa of Cardito. AccBunts from the United States say that Mr. CLAY has withdrawn a resolution which he had proposed, for a declaration of the sentiments of Congress on the sub ject of hostilities to be commenced by the Holy Alliance of Furope against the New States of America. Mr. CLAY takes for granted that the plan of aggression has been dropped, and therefore that there exists no.neces sity for recording the intended opinion of Congress with regard to it. A letter has been received Troth 'St..3ago de Chile, the contents of which are extremely satisfactory. The Piesident, General FRICKE, was sit that period at Con caption, completing the Treaty of Alliance and Friend ship with the Araucanian Indians. He was also fitting out a naval and military Expedition against the Island of Chace, the command of the naval department of which had been bestowed on Captain FOSTER, a very distin guished Officer, until Lord COCHRANE arrived. The Indians had volunteered to furnish an auxiliary force for this important undertaking, for it is the last place , possessed by Spain in Chile. The Constitution had been completed. Its particular heads have not yet been received in England, but it is represented to be founded entirely on the model of that of the United States. Accounts have been received from Hayti, via New York, that a vessel sailed from that place for Havre on the Bth ultimo, with three persons on board accredited by the Haytian authorities to proceed to Paris, to sign A treaty already agreed on, which had been proposed by the French Goverii.nent. It is understood that the Treaty •betweea Portugal and the Brazils is in a state of great forwardness ; and the following extract of a letter, dated in Lisbon, on the 12th current, shews, that the general feeling in Po:tugal was, that the expedition so long threatened bad been abandoned : " Vor a length of time they have talked of fitting out an ezpodl t,,m, and preparations; as far as repairing the vessels of war, adver tising for supplies, &c. hate no doubt been made, but no conuacts have been entered into, and to my knovileAge, within these last ten days, the samples of cum." &e. which were lying in the ar,cull have been returned to the indivicirsabt tar Wheal they belonged; and in:thee, the diEereot regiments th.itrnsat orArred Roes the interior, some of which had amen arrived, have born nut a again unit' r!Q% MM."

The Rose was at Smyrna, and the Taming was expected to pro ceed shortly from Matta to the lonian Islands. A fine young lioness, which had been presented by the Bey of TOMS to Captain CLIIITORD, of his Majesty's ship EURTALUS, has been brought home in the CAMBRIAN, intended as a present to his Grace the Duke of Davoresntas. Captain the Hon. G. R. 'Nitrous, _Commander of the Lurie, is promoted to the rank of Post Captain ; which rank has been con ferred upon him for his unremitting zeal and attention in the pro tection of the British fishermen employed near Jersey, for which service Captain TaxErsts was especially appointed by the Lords of the Admiralty. A very severe gale from S. W. was experienced on Sunday sennight at Portsmouth; the Jormrs which ship kft that port on Fri day, the 18th inst. was obliged to pct Into Torbay. The Basussx cutter, Lieut.

This year has been remarkably prolific of Public ' Companies, for almost every purpose to which a highly improved state of the arts and sciences could direct a redundant capital. We have had Companies of all de scriptions—from the aristocratic speculators, who of fered to lend large sums on lands and houses, down to the moderate Association who were content to advance small ones on caps acid . gowns. We have seen Compa nies for draining bogs in Ireland, and for making pa tent coffins in this country; some for sharing the profits of the pawnbrokers of Manchester, and others for par ticipating in the gains of the insurance brokers at Lloyd's. These were natural, and perhaps fair subjects for commercial speculation; but who could have thought that the arts and sciences,,backed by large capital, would have taken the field against the washerwomen of the me tropolis, and attempted to di ive them from the tuba of which they have so lung held undisturbed possession? So it is, however, and the name of "The London Pa tent Steam Washing Company" is to be added to the list of those to which the present year has given rise. The object of this Company is, as its name imports, to wash clothes of all descriptions by the application of steam. For this purpose an extensive establishment has lately been erected at Phipps-bridge, near Merton, Surrey. The use of steam in cleansing clothes is, we are aware. not new, but the manner of its application in the present case is, we think, novel and ingenious. Scarcely a peasant woman in France who is not ac quainted with the process of boiling the clothes by steam, by placing them in a wooden vessel fixed over the boiler, and perforated with several holes at the bottom. In this manner the clothes, having first been sprinkled with an alkaline solution, are frequently turned, and by the action of the steam perfectly cleansed. The plan at Phipps-bridge has many advantages over this simple process. The clothes are placed in copper vessels, where the action of the steam is brought to bear on them with great force, and by the revolving of the vessel the steam can act upon every part equally. After being perfectly cleansed in a short time, the clothes are taken up to a large loft and there dried by " steam." The works at Phipps bridge are not yet finished, and of course the Company have not fully established the practicability of the process; but from what we saw of the plan, we have no doubt that clothes can be washed much whiter, in a shorter time, and with much less injury from rubbing, than by the common application in the tub, of soap, and the wrists of the laundress. These are the princiral advantages which the pro prietors offer to the Public, with the additional, and not unimport ant one, that their method will considerably reduce the expense at which families get their washing done at present. We will not stop here to inquire how far any discovery which tends to reduce the demand for manual labour ought in the present state of society to be considered a benefit, for we are satisfied, that whichever way that question might be decided in theory, it would be found in prac tice that every man would get his business done (no matter whether by machinery or otherwise) by that means by which it could be dune best and cheapest. lithe Washing Company shall prove on trial that theirs is a more economical and less injurious mode of" getting tip" clothes than that now in use, no doubt the Public will deal with them. If it should turn out otherwise, they, and not the Public, must bear the loss of the speculation. The following was posted in the Discount-office of the Bank of England on Saturday morning : " BAN' or Eroxarto, Juno 24, 1824. " Resolved, That advances be made on accepted Bills of Go remount, the East India Company, and other approved Bills, if more than ninety-five days to run, at the rate of Four per Cent. per annum interest. " The parties engaging, by letter, to repay the said advances at such period as may be agreed upon, but not to exceed three months, or to be for less than one month." Saturday, the remains of the late Right lion. Lord 11. M. Howaao were deposited in the family rault of his noble an cestors, in the choir of Arundel Church. Tuesday, the Bishop of WiNciurrza, in whose dio , eese the whole of the County of Surrey is comprised, consecrated the new Church at Brixton. Lord and Lady PoNSONBY left Naples for Corfu ost the 26Th of May. They meant to embark at Otranto. A pack of harriers has been purchased for the KING% diversion, which will hunt in the neighbourhood of Windsor, to be kept in the same style as those of his late Royal Father, and to hum alternately with the stag bounds.

COMMUNICATION WITH AMERICA ar STEAM Saturday a highly respectable Meeting of Noblemen and Gentlemen took place at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of establishing a communica tion between America and Ireland by Steam.—Lord CA REEKY in the Chair. _ _ The Right Honourable MAURICE FITZGERALD rose to state the object of the Meeting.—The communica tion between the United Kingdom and America had hitherto been carried on by means of sailing vessels. The superior certainty and rapidity of the communica tion by steam between Britain and Ireland had sug gested a plan for materially facilitating the commune , ticin from Britain and Europe generally to British Ame rica, the United States, Mexico, and the West Indies. It 'therefore appeared advisable to establish a line of packets to sail weekly from the harbour of Valentia, in the south west extremity of Ireland, to the City of New York. The communication from New York to the other parts of the United States was known to be direct and rapid ; and the direct line of navigation from New Yor k to Ireland passed so near Halifax and Newfound land, that if found desirable, no difficulty would arise in communicating with these parts of British America. The Right Honourable Gentleman then proposed the establishment of a Committee to enquire into the ex pediency- of adopting the above plan to facilitate the intercourse between the countries. There was a good deal of conversation on the sub ject, in which Mr. Nimms, the civil engineer; Sir William Adams, Christopher Hutchinson, Esq. and other Gentlemen joined. It appeared, from their state ments, that Valencia is the nearest point of Europe to the American Continent, that it is perfectly safe, is capable of receiving large vessels, and has two entrances in different directions, so that vessels may enter and de part in all winds. It also appeared that besides other great advantages, no delay could arise in the sailing of a packet in any wind, and it was known that by far the greater part of the delay and danger from Falmouth or Liverpool occurs within the Channel or the Bay of Biscay, which by this mode was avoided. The motion • was ultimately agreed to, and the Meeting separated. FRAUD ON MR. ROTHSCHlLD.—lntelligence has been received from the French capital, respecting the fraud practised upon Mr. Rornscumn by Mr.Doloret. The bills have been regularly accepted, but it is presumed nut discounted, as no account had been received of such a circumstance at Baron Roviscsiti.n's, in Paris, up to Thursday evening. Mr. Doloret, or some person for him, had applied fur cash for the bills at three days' sight, which had been prudently refused, on account of the party being a. stranger, unless the indorsement of a respectable banker could be obtained; this was promised, but the party did not return, and the telegraphic dis patch would of course prevent that bill being cashed. The French Police has taken up the matter, and issued public notice, to caution persons agniist takini the Incepted bills. • SPOETLY-G INTELLIGENCE.

BOXERS. Moss, the tinman, was backed un Saturday for 100 sovereigns, to fight Arnold, the Wiltshire man, who fancied Tum Cannon until the defeat of Josh. The tinman is a known good bred one, and fame states Arnold to be out and out. • Barney Aaron has challenged Arthur Mathewson for 2001. at any time he thinks proper, but the fight must be on a stage. Arthur has accepted the challenge, on condition of fighting on the tint to which the Jew has replied, that if Arthur wished he might have the stage covered with turf. No doubt a match will be made be tween them. Dick Curtis has challenged Barney Aaron; and Hud son, the John Bull fighter, wishes to fight TonyCannou again, for 100/. or 2001. CORN-EXCHANGE. MARK-LANE, JUNE 211. There were moderate supplies of Wheat and Barley last week, but of Beans and Oats the quantities were good. This morning the fresh supplies consist of fair quantities of Wheat and Beans, from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, and a few more vessels with Oats from the North. The samples of Wheat at market are mostly of damp quality, and of such scarcely any sales can be effected, al though they are offered on lower terms ; but prime dry parcels rather exceed the currency of this day se'rtnight. Barley, being scarce, may be quoted Is. per qr. higher, as also may Boiling Peas. Grey Peas are without akeration. There was a brisk trade for Oats on Friday last, and the prices then rather looked upwards ; but the quantities haring materially increased since then, the trade has therefore become more slack, and last Monday's prices remain unaltered. The Flour trade continues very dull, except for such as is fresh made. TUCKS 011 MAIO sm. Wheat, Red (new), 625. Rye, new, Nis. 441. .--- old, 60s. 70s. - old, 00s. 00s. White new, 541. to Os.
