to oppofe the continuation of the duties alluded to in the bill, for a !bort period, as the money might be immediately wanted ; but he objeaed to this bill, underftanding it was to be continued for nine months, becaufe it prevented them from doing any thing relative to the tulle& during the prefent fef fion. Why could not this bill be voted in the fame manner as the fuppliesfor England, for two months, the fubjed might then be taken up, and the ltate of Ireland difcuffed : let a new book of rates be form ed for that Country, and all the old and obfolete duties (buck out. He was decidedly of opinion, that the bill ought to be continued for two months only, inflead of nine months, for which period it was now propofed to continue it. Mr. CORRY denied that he had ever drawn a melancholy piaure of the Rate of Ireland : on the contrary, he had always exulted at her growing profperity and at the rapid increafe of her inchillry and manufaeures, and he trufted in the end he might add, her incrrafe of wealth alfh. He thought the Right Hon. Gentleman bad not (hewn much candour in Rating the run of exchange and the ba lance of trade againft Ireland in thofe years he had mentioned, without at the fame time noticing the caufe of it, which was the rebellion, then raging at its utmoft height. He defended the prefent bill,be caufe it was a permanent provifion for permanent grants and debts. He differed altogether with the Right Hon. Gentleman in regard to the order and principle of the bill, and alfo as to the piaure he bad drawn of the country. He infified that from the firft moment of the union having taken place, the Houfe had looked with the molt eager eye to. wards the advancement of the interefis of Ireland; 1 and he thought the prefers bill calculated to pro mote and forward thofe interefis. Mr. FOSTER, in explanation, laid, that he had allowed the indußry and manufatures of Ire land were the only fources which enabled it to keep up againft the run of exchange againft it ; that he would not have drawn the piaure he had done of the beggary of Ireland, had he not alfo mentioned that he knew there were remedies for it. This bill was for the current fervice of the year, and ought to have followed the regulations refpeding fuch fervices. The CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHRIVER defended the Bill before the Houk, the principle of which, he laid, would be an inßrument in the hands of Parliament to check the abufes of the Executive Government. As to the interefis of Ireland not having . been fofficiently attended to, he mug fay, that neither hinifelf nor his colleagues could be implicated in any fuch charge. From the firft moment they had entered into office, an uninter rupted attention had been paid to the interefis of t!iat country ; and he could Rate to the Houfe, that a fyftem was already in confiderable forward nefs, by which the various difficulties alluded to by a Right Hon. Gentleman would be removed. It was on all hands admitted, that the agriculture of Ireland was in a very fic.urifhing Rate ; and if that was fo, it was impotlible it could be in that im poverifhed condition mentioned by the Right Hon. Gentleman. Agriculture was the firft source of stealth ; and in proportion as it improved, i: al. *ways diffufed a fpirit of induftry through a country which gave rife to extenfive manutlaures, in which he was Pure that Ireland would film flourifh in a manner the had never done before. I'i.e Houk might be affurcd that Minifters would never lose fight of the intereft of that country, nor omit any meafure that could promote her profperity and happinefs. Mr. ORMSBY fpoke in favour of the Bill ; which was read a fecond time, and ordered to e com mitted to-morrow.—Adjourned. LONDON. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17.

They have been very neatly and commodioufly fit tedup for the purpofe. TbeKing'sbox Rands as for merly, and is allotted to the Diretors and Patro neffes of the entertainment. Below are rows of feats for the audience ' • and in the front a fmall cage has been erefted for the performances. The decorations are perfedly timple and neat. Over the Rage is the following motto : On fait cc qu'on peal, of non ce gu'on and. —" We do what we can, but not what we with." The performances did not commence till nine o'clock. The band in the Orcheflra confifted of Mr. Saeommt, the Hon. P. LAMBS, Mr. MEI, &c. At length the curtain rote, and the following Prologue was fpoken by Colonel GREVILLE I come, not courting plaudits, gcndc Neighbours, They are the need well worn by toils and labours: Labours, Goo knows, wilds our mule betide well; May fend us all u Vagabonds to Bridevrell ! I come Dlredtor, Author, Adtor, Poet, So undefined my charge—l fiercely know it! To fay this night we work a revolution— Nay, do not (tart—in Routs—not Conecitutlon To prove, you Ladies femetinses may contrive To pall a night, not jaram'd, nor flar'e'd alive ; And when at Pleafures fummons eall'd together, Find food for talk u pleafant u the weather. But fame there are, who view with hone eyes This little Theatre of Mirth *rife, Who think that Female's claim to virtue o'er Who's fees or heard (oar feet above the floor. For fay there grave Reformers of the Age, If you muR laugh, why laugh upon the Stage Have we not Games of good old Rnglilh growth, Made m preferve our Countrymen from Both t To thofe refine whene'er you want dating, And laugh your fill at Boxing or Bull-baiting. But other Critics Rill more furious own They'd bead a mob to pull our Play Inure down ; And fo botaafc they wifely fouy dangers, Lurk in the friendly aid—of liberal Strangers. They'd head a mob! and thus would join to break The very Law, perhaps, they belp'd to make. Shame on fwd nonfenfe ! is their one denies Tht.t Tafte's a Stream whole channel never dries Whether adorning France's wide domain, Or richly fertilizing Britain's plain, Stillby the fpot where Wit, where Genius glows, Her wave will fparkle as her current flows. Oh then, &Spire the mean, the narrow rule, That Chains the mind to Cuftom's femik fchool Oh when fair Peace each facial bilis reftores, Let Faihian ope to Mirth her ample doors ; And fpite of Paragraphs or Piarloufe Fadtion, Here let us firmly fix—her centre of attradion. The Interlude confifted of a thort dialogue, writ ten by Mr. GRRVILLE, who appeared as Mr. Lively, a Manager in Ditlrefs. It turned upon the reports which had been circulated through theNewfpapers, of the immorality and pernicious tendency of the new Theatre, which had obtained fuch general belief, that the Subfcribers who had been the fore moft to patronize it, and under whore aufpices the projeft was to be brought to maturity, were fend ing in excufes every hour that they could not give it any farther encouragement. The Manager's Clerk, who had been out colleaing fubfcriptions, next appears ; but he alto is full of chfappointments. When he is introduced to Lady Timer who is at breakfalt with her Lord, for her La dyfhip's Cub fcription, the noble Peer is aftonithed the should have expofed herfelf to fo much rifle, or counte nance fo much immorality. He tells her the will certainly be fent to the Round Houfe ; and at length plays upon her apprehenfions fo forcibly, that my Lady fends her excufes to Mr. Gild', and is forty the can have nothing further to do with him. The Clerk meets the fame fate at other houfes, and inflead of collcaing Tome hundreds, he brings home only,lBl. which he begs leave to pocket for the arrears due to himfelf, and give in his consi. Excufes alai pour in from the Performers, who had been engaged; and in this dilemma, Mr. Lively is called upon by a Phyfician, in the old coftume of drefs, (perfonated by Mr. Maonocas), to whom he imparts his diftrefies, and afks for his affiftance. The latter fays he can perform the part of a Lover, if one Ibould be wanted. At length a groupe of Strolling Players, hearing of Mr. Lively's dittrefs, come to offer their Cervices, which .are accepted; ' and thus the interlude concludes. The two after-pieces were French proverbs, called " Zing Zing," and " Les Fon x. The parts were performed by the Chevalier de MONT..

CRAWLEY'S EXECUTION.— Yellerday Thomas Radcliffe Crawley underwent the fentence of the law. The unfortunate culprit,"fince the period of his condemnation, condueted himielf in a matii;er befitting the awful circumftances in which he was placed. At an eatly hour yefterday, and fubfe quent to the adminiftration of the Sacrament by Mr. Gamble, Sheriff King visited his cell; to that Gentleman he reiterated a conrcflion of his guilt, and appeared to feel very fenfibly the atrocions nature of his offence. He joined in prayer with a wrongly apparent contrition and convincement of his unnatural intentions, and fcemed prepared for the inevitable confequences of his crime with m•tc!l firmacfs. About one o'clock he afcended the bal. cony, and a very Mort interval patted then was launched from the fatal grating. Having been tied up by the executioner with a ltfs meafure of rope than ufual, and having but a short way io his corporal fufferings feemed to have been con fiderably augmented, and the throes and convul lions of departing exikence were much protracted. When dead, his body was conveyed, under military efcort, to Mercer's Hofpital for diiredion. Crawley was. dreffed in a blue hunting frock., (biped cafilmere veft, blue pantaloons, and &rhino ab!e H:.ffian boots. He was confidered to be about 25 years of age ; his figure was light, but he was fomewbat tr.-alcular. He was about five feet feven inches high. The 6rmnefs difplayed by this wretched victim of finful delufion was moft extraordinary. When receiving fentence of death, the only concern that was perceivable, was putting his hand upon his face. He returned to prifon with aftonifhing for titude, and expreffed a defire for food, which he eat and drank with feemingly good appetite. He wifhed that evening to have his irons taken off, which the gaoler deeming it unfafe to do, refuf. ed—bat told him it fhould be done on Friday at twelve o'clock! Crawley took great offence at the refufal, and told Mr. Gregg he would be re venged of him—a rafh expreflion, that the unfor tunate young man afterwards apologifed for. Crawley exculpated the woman who was appre. hended with him at Newry, (and whom he acl-miv. !edged as a wife,) from having any concern in the crime for which he fuffered. This unfortunate man having been accufed of lhocking treatment to a former wife, Dr. Gamble took occafion at the moft ferious moment to queftion himlipon that c;rcum. Rance. He utterly denied having been guilty of fuch ads as- were imputed to him refpeding her, and that in fo folemn a manner, as convinced Dr. G. that he had been falfely accufed on her account. The day before he (offered, his brother, vifited him in prifon ; but what is extraordinary, the lad was afraid to go near, or to be alone with him ; in confequence another perfon was prefent at the in terview. It is fuppofed that the boy feared ill treatment from his brother, for not having Cooney vifited him, or perhaps entertained an opinion that he was infane. His apprehenfions, however, were groundlefs, for the unfortunate man affeetionately (hook him by the hand when he faw him. Crawley wrote feveral letters while under con demnation, fome of which be delivered to the High Sheriffs, requeiting them to be fent to his father, and other connexions. He lamented much the odium he had brought upon his family: He was attended from his cell to the fcaffold by Dr. Gam ble, and Mr. Coghtan (one of the religious fociety of Methodifb, who had known the unfortunkte young than for fome time) and after a fhort prayer, and fpeaking a few words to the latter, as to the difpofal of fame trifling effeEts he had, he com mitted himfelf to the executioner, and was lanoch ed into eternity in view of innumerable fpeaators. Thus has "ended' the career of a young afar, whore abilities, hadhe turned them to honetty and honour, would have rendered him an ornament to that fociety, from which his crimes rendered it neceffary heiliseld be feparated. The siroman4Aci was apprehended with Craw. ley at Newry, wh&calls herfelfMary Henry, has not been difcharged . from cuftidy, as we were heretofore informed. She is detained in conle quence of examinations being again(' her for aid ing and affitting witliCrawl:ey, the night after the murder 'was committed, in carrying away goods belonging to them, that were under ftizure for rent, where they lived, in Black Hone Lane, and wounding the keeper who had them in charge. An extraordinary circumflance relating to the murder of Mrs. Dasidfon and her maid-fervant. remains- to be tedoihited for, viz. The morning after that melancholy trancaetion, the Superin. tendant Magiltrate Tearched the haute of the de 'coaled, but, we hear, not a tingle article of wn. mens' wearing apparel could be found, though i •the late Mrs. Davitiftwwas a woman %Ito had been remarked for variety and goodnefs of attire: 'it alfo' appeared that a blanket had been, culled away from the bed trllere Crawley had slept, as it may be recolletcted he lodg e d there a few night. Who the plunderer has been is not yet afcertai• . ed ; bnt on all fides is is believed not to have bc‘a 'the taw-tome perTrit who was executed. i'
