He ap ,rets Comminon, tended the belt way to meet Mr. Sheridan • t o whole a m e ndment he meant to agree, ~bjen i woo be by leaving out the claufe which provides, „ Th a t in cafe of Appointments by the' Crown. inch Appointments fhall not vac at e th e feats of thole who are Members." The ATTORNEY-GEN FRAL thought any amend ments unnecelfary, as the Bill was only to conti nue t wo years. Iklr. SHERIDAN did not think leaving out that dole would be lutficient ; though from the amend rot he meant to propofe, it mull be left out as fuperfitious. Where the nomination, he laid, was in the Houle, and there was no emolument, he had no objettion to Members being Commillion vs; but where the nomination was in the Crown, ar ,,l profits attached to it, he thought otherwife. lie, therefore, moved, 66 That in cafe of a vacan cy, by non-acceptance or otherwife, his Majetly fliould be empowered to fill fuch vacancy with per. fans not being Members of Parliament." Sir W. PuLIEN EY thanked the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the candid manner in which he h a d given his Arent to the prefent amendment, and was very glad it was to be adopted, as by that means one of the moll efrential privileges of the Houle was preferred inviolate, and the country would fee that the Right Hon. Gentleman was actuated in his conduit by Conftitutional princi ples. The Bill itfelf, as now amended, he highly approved. The Hon. Mr. KINNAIRD expreffed himfelf happy in the amendment, as the candid declara tion of the Right Hon. Gentleman would con vince the public, that this was meFely. a, Bill of Reform. r:s MT. SHERIDAN'S amendment was then putiand agreed to, and the other claufe left out. - The Bill then pallid, and was ordered to be car& tied to the Lords, by Mr. Alexander, on Monday. Sir F. BURDETT gave-notice, that having lien in a Newfpaper an Advertifement, purporting to have been figned by two Members of that Houle, John Blackburn, Efq. and Henry Thornton, Efq. and by other perfons, who are friends of 116.$ Mainwaring, which he thought a violation of the" pririleges of. that Hoare, he should. on Monday flake a motion on,the fubjea. He then afked the Speaker, whether it would be neceffary for thole Members to have notice girds to be in their places ? The SPEAKER Paid, he apprehended no other notice was neceffary thin that now given, and, if the Hon. Members were not in their places, and the motion was agreed to, they would be ordered to attend on a future day. The other Orders of the Day were then read and deferred.—Adjourned to Monday. LONDON.

On the zath of Odtober, the Favourite i Ichooner, Pourland, from Madeira, for Bofton, fell in with the Juno, in lat. 36.40. long. 67. 16. Her Captain, Don Juan Ignacio Boftillos, informed Mr. Pourland that the was in great dards, and that the water gained fo faft, that their utmoft ex ertions were neccffary to keep her free: he, at the fame time, requefted that the Favourite would continue in company until he could make land, and receive on board three Officers and four Marines. Nothing occurred till the 28th, when it blew a heavy gale from the N. W. when Mr. P. obfervcd fignals for abandoning the frigate, and for the Favourite to run as near as potable under her lee. The Spaniards waved their handker chiefs, and feemed in the utmoft confufion. At nine o'clock in the morning the mainnsaft went over her fide, and her fore man. fell alternately from fi de to We. Every effort was made by the Favourite to afford her alfiftance, but in vain. A heavy fog enfued, and continued half an h when it c'eared away the frigate was no longer to be fem.

Mr. Supp/Ock, a very quiet placid gentleman, is not fo fortunate with his helpmate. From the quarrels in there two families, the piece takes its title. The Suppirjacir have a fon, whom the lady, his mother, who is dittantly related to quality, withes to form a matrimonial conueaion with Lady Selina, an antiquated virgin of fortune ; but Charley Suppl4ack and Caroline Ctabflici are ftrongly attached to each other, and are ultimately fuccefsful in,their withes. This produition will add but little to the literary reputation of Mr. DIBDIN if, however, by the aid of the mufic, the. compofition and compilation of Reeve, MOOREKEAD I DAVY, and BRAHMA, it ex perk:l=s but a part of the fuccefs of his Cabinet, be will have reafon to be fatisfied as a man of bufinefs, however he may be as a candidate for a feat in the temple of Parnatrus.—Of the dialogue of the piece we can really fay nothing favourable ; the jokes introduced are often (tale, and the language is unrefined. All the performers exerted themfelves to the utmoft ftretch of their feveral abilities, both as actors and fingers, particularly BRANAM, INCLI• DON, MUNDEN g EMERY I BLANC HARI:41111d FAWCETT. The fongs of the former were compofed by him felf, and given charmingly, as were thofe of N. c L EDON in his particular ftyle. Of the ladies, Mifs WADDT, Signora STORACK, and Mrs. Marrocxs, were the molt diftinguithed. In the fecond Ad an expreflion occurred, which gave great offence to the Jews, who, it being on Saturday evening, made a confiderable part of the audience, and indeed they appeared to be fupport ed by the majority prefent. It was when ilrgur being applied to by Promo, who is difguifed as a Jew Pedlar, to buy fome of his ware, replies, " never deal with your people." Some Ifraelites in the galleries, conceiving an offence to be meant againft them, inftantly ratted a clamour," fo loud and dread," that it was impolfible, from that mo ment to the end of the ad, to hear a fingle fen tence of the dialogue. Every attempt to appeals the uproar proved ineffectual for upwards of a quarter of an hour, and tranquillity was not re ltored until the appearance of FAwcsrT, who came forward to addrefs the audience. " Ladies and Gentlemen-1 appear before you in behalf of an Author who has never intended to offend that part of the audience which I fuppofe to be now offended. I could with, Ladies and Gentlemen, that you would recoiled, molt of the pieces which this Author has written, and In which there are chargters fisnilar to the prefent, and wherein be has invariably been rather complimentary to the perfons'comptaining. Should you, Ladies and Gentlemen, allow us to proceed, not a thought, not a fentiment will be found in the leaft detrimental to the feelings of any one whom I have now the honour to addrefs and 1 plc ge myfelf and the rum(' of the piece, on the veracity of what I b.tve Afferted. " Thisaddrels was received with reiterated plaudits. --A freth interruption, however, foon happened, from the circiimftince -of FAWCETT'S going off without ringing a particular fong, which was given in the printed book. The calf for the fong was very general, on which Mr. FawcErT returned, and addretliug the audience, affurcd them that his only motive for attempting to omit the fong was a with to avoid the poilibility 'of giving of. ence ; but as it was called for, he thould flog it with cheerfulnefs. This he did, amidft a mixture of murmurs and applaufe, and was encored ; and nothing further occurred to interrupt the progrefs of the piece, except upon MUNDEN exclaiming to STOK AC F t 66 What, refufe a falute to a man of scoot. a year, and a Juftice of the Peace, and then be caught brujbing the beard of an old Sonoucli ?" no tl ing now could allay the tempeft, nay whirlwind of the paifions, and the curtain dropped =kilt cries of" it w.nt do! It wont do !" The ayes how ever had it, and to ufe a phrafe of Illuihroom's, it was ordered that the piece be read again this evening." The Overture, a very pleafing prodation,though not altogether new, is the compofition of RE svx„.as are feveral of the encored airs. The Finale to thn fecond ;la, by MooaskiEßD, and an air by Davy, were loudly applauded, as indeed was molt of the mufie.
