SPIRIT OP TAR JOURNALS. Cnaorricis.—The Administrition Is by no means in the safe ' position that has been so confidently affirmed. His Majesty was yesterday closetted for some time with the Lord Chancellor and Lord Holland ; and in the course of the morning, no fewer than 70 independent Members met in consultation at Lord Althorp's. The Regency Question, brought forward in the distinct shape which it will assume in the motion of Mr. R. Grant, presents a difficulty with which the existing Government finds it difficult to grapple ; and the King may not be soeasily persuaded, as his present advisers could wish, that his Majesty has the same interest as they, in defer. ring its settlement. Lord Palmerston has with far too much ability and effect opposed the present administration, to be suffered to enjoy unmolested the representation of Cambridge University. With the stigma of inca pacity yet fresh upon poor Mr. Ooulburn, it is deemed impossible to produce him ; but in Sir John Becket, with the Lowtbers and High Church at his back, a champion has been found, through whose instrumentality Lord Palmerston's inconvenient indepen dence may possibly be chastised. Mr. Sergeant M r. Law, and Mr. John Wil liams (to whom another rumour had assigned the post of Attorney to her blajcity the Queen) have been mentioned as the three new judges to Kappointed under the bill " for the more effectual ad. ministration of justice in England and Wales," now in progress through the House of Commons. There is at all times a certain delicacy to be observed upon the tender subject of professional re putation; but in reference to these appointments, we are bound to 'say, diatif the brothers of two Cabinet Ministers, and a neophyte such as the third gentleman, are to be in this manner elevated to fill the national tribunals, the measure will be one of the boldest Ind most extraordinary exertions of patronage ever exhibited by any administration. The meeting of the proprietors — of the London University, on Saturday, will have the effect, we trust, of introducing a better system of mansgement in that institution. When we say better system, we repeat the admiision of Mr.Warburton, that the council, the professors, and the warden, were all to blame. The council, as that gentleman fiankly observed, ought in the outset to have laid down more definite rules for the guidance of the professore, which would have prevented much of the very unpleasant collision which has taken place between Mr. Horner and them. However, much allow. ance ought to be made foe those at the head of an undertaking of so much magnitude as the establishment of an university. No email share of the embarrassment was occasioned by the creation of the office warden. The gentleman who fills that of was left to discover the ex tent of bisown powers, and it was but natural that he should not err in assigning too narrow limits to them. The mistake he committed in supposing the o ffi ce of Warden identical with that of Chancellor , or Principal, or Regent, was one which he could hardly be the first to discover. There cannot, however, be two heads ; and as the Council are the head of the London University, the authority of the Warden, co necessitate, must be Ministerial. But some time pre vious to the Meeting, the Council had determined that the Warden should not interfere with his Professors in anything reAarding the ma nagement of their classes, so that the communications with the m should be merely in the capacity of organ of the Council. This regu. lation was calculated to put an end to a great source of animosity. The Meeting approved of the resolutions of the Council of June 8, 1830, and thereby strengthened the hands of the Council. How. ever, the admission made that all have erred, and; consequently, that all have need of forgiveness will, we trust, not be forgotten in the subsequent conduct of the Council, Professors, and Warden to , wards each other. If the Bth Article of the Resolution of the Bth of July be acted on in a spirit of fairness, we shall be without ap. prehension of the future. That article states, " that the Council expect the greatest courtesy to be at all times shown by the Warden towards the Professors, whose dignity, comfort, and interests, will ever be the main object of the Council's care ; while, on the other hand, the Council expect the Professors to communicate with the Warden, acting is the discharge of his duty with the courtesy due to his office, as defined by the Minute of the 221 d of May, 1829. Mr. Horner is stated by Colonel Stanhope to have less of the eauvi. ter in mode, than it might be desirable he should have. Several professors complain of his domineering manner. It is no easy mat ter for individuals to judge bow fax their manner is calculated to hurt the feelings of others. It certainly is not conducive to the irate . rest of a man, who discharges as he ought the substantial duties his station, to surround himself with unnecessary difficulties by wounding the amour propre of those with whom be comes in con tact ; and therefore we take it for granted that Mr. Horner is not himself conscious of having merited the censure of Colonel Stanhope. What would give no offence in one country, would often give o ff ence In another—so that experience is not always of use to a man in his progress through the world. It was the remark of Sir Walter Scott, that his countrymen might make good men of business, and good soldiers, but that it was difficult to make gentlemen of them; and we believe it is a general complaint of the people of this part of the island, that the inhabitants of the modern Athens are not in general remarkable for the courtesy of their behaviour. TIN Es.--We last night rest) the Paris papers of Friday. They contain a telegraphic despatch dated Toulon the 211th ult. of which the following is a copy The Capricierise, which sailed free Sidi.Ferruch on th e 26th of June, has arrived with despatches. Admiral Dup re e announces to me, that for the last two days the army has had partial affairs with corps of Arabs and with Turkish infantry, and that it has gained ground. The Admiral thihks that on the 26th it must have established itself under the Fort of the Emperor, at Algiers.' This despatch is addressed to the Ali. ulster of Marine, and is signed by the Maritime Prefect of Toulon. The French papers of Friday contain a variety of letters from Algiers, of dates anterior to the 20th ultimo ; but though interesting to Frenchmen, who may have friends or relations in the expedi. tion, the would not excite much curiosity on this side of the Channel. The Paris journals are still more occupied with the interests of the elections than with the news from Algiers. One of them states, that the returns of the first series of the electoral colleges, convoked on the 23d ult. had all now been received from the provinces, and that they gave 142 members to the opposition, and only 46 to the mi.. nistry. The proceedings of the first series of the departmental col leges was to begin on Saturday last (the 3d inst .) In proportion as the Ministers feel the weakness of their cause, they are endeavouring to prevent defection by inspiring terror. It is the usual habit of th e French Government, when a Cabinet Minister resigns or is turned out, to appoint him to the nominal o ffi ce of Minister of State , with a small pension of about 6001. a-year. In no case ha s it hitherto been understood that the ex.:llinister is bound to any course of politics by the pecuniary reward or the honorary dis. tinction thus conferred. The present Cabinet would appear, however, to have adopted new maxims on this subject. " Those who are not with us,' say they, " are against us, and those who are against us must not enjoy any advantage of which we can deprive them." Accordingly, they have dismissed 31. de Saint-Cricq, the late Minister of Trade. from his place of Bli. nista of State, and have put on the retired list other civil function ark.: and military offieers, supected of what the people call pa triothon. General Lamarque has been deprived of his half.pay, and Generals Gerard, Sebastiani, and others, are looking for a similar treatment. M. de Villele did nothing calculated to excite so much indignation as this, though provoked•by the eloquent attacks and ob. stinate resistance of Gen. Foy and other military deputies. Hemmen—Before the obsequies of departed Royalty have been performed, and the tomb has closed over the ashes of (Icorge IV. the underlings of the present Administration make a triumphant an nouncement of the expected continuance of their patrons in. power, and already celebrate their victory in the language of loud and in. decorous exultation. It is of little consequence to the country who is Minister, p rov id e d soun d pr i nciples of policy govern the decisions of the Cabinet. If the continuance of the Duke of Wellington's Administration was to ensure to the empire the exercise of that political wisdom, by which only the prosperity of nations is created or preserved, we would be among the first to deprecate a change in the Councils of the Sovereign ; but, if the experience of the past can serve to enlighten our views of the future, we can anticipate nothing Proof the genius of the military Chief, to whom, we are told, the Rang has already given his confidence, but an increase of those na tinal difficulties by which his administration of civil affairs has been hitherto so unhappily distinguished. it has not often hap pened in the history of the world that a sue:enrol soldier has ap peared in the character of a safe and enlightened statesman. Seldom east it happened that the warlike laurel has been auspiciously inter. miegled with the civic wreath. The habits, the manners, the morale of the camp, are not propitious to the growth and develop ment of those talents and virtues which distinguish men quo.' lihetl . .to govern free States.

It is evidrn i mmtbe ofthe Date of " ellington's administration, reckon/as Hams the *giro, relight, of Lord Goderich,to the present day, that be supposed the gram art sad mystery of civil government consisted in having a well-drilled cabinet disciplined into a state of implicit obedience, without any reference to the moral or intellectual qualities of the individuals by whom it was imposed. If this were not his opinion, would he eve: thought of bringing Lord Melville back to the Admiralty after nation and the navy had so happily got rid of the incumbeenos his services ? Would he ever have expelled the Duke at from office—popular as be was in the station of Lord High Ad. mini, as the enemy of corrupt patronage and the friend of unre warded merit—would he ever, we say, have expelled that gal. lent supporter of our naval glory from office to make wa for the return of him under whose ill-omened auspices the ttta greatness of England had fallen into deplorable decay sad neglect ? If he did not think civil government was one of the easiest of human tasks, would he have despised the instruction to be derived from the events connected with the Congress Verona, and have placed our foregn relations under the superintendence of the portentous imbecility of Lord Aberdeen? Would he have oppressed the feeble intellect of Mr. Goulburn with the onerous responsibility of the Chancellorship of the Exchequer, or graced the exquisite brows of Lord Ellenborough with the dia dem of our Indian dependencies? Need we go on to multiply proofs of the Premier's impression that the work of Government was a matter of routine, and that it was not of so much consequence to have an able as an obedient Cabinet ? We did not regret that he cashiered Mr. Huskieson, whose theories had done more mischief to the ma. aufacturing and shipping interests than can be easily repaired t but It was not on public, but on personal grounds, that his Grace In. flitted on his old friend so sudden and cavalier a dismissal lie rejected the man, and not his measures ; an d. no d ou b t , b e was glad of the opportunity afforded him by the hasty Meter of Mr. Huskisson, as it enabled him to add to the regimental &e -recter of the Cabinet by supplying the place of a civilian by a Ge neral Officer. This appointment would have been more appropriate If, like the Emperor of Russia, we were establishing ‘. military colonies;" though we must say that Sir George Murray Was con ducted himself in his station in a manner that entitles him to great personal respect. Then, as to the influence which public opinion ought to exercise in a free State, how has the Duke of Welligton r poer it T—By setting his Whig Attorney-General upon that of the Press which dared to treat his measures with dis. courteous animadversions,and opening upon one refractory journalist in particular a battery of es.offteie informations. Under that tremen dous fire the Paper was brought down ; but the Duke looked smaller slier that victory than the bitterest commentaries of a pha. lanx of adverse journalists could have made him look. DOTER ELKCTION. - - Dover is likely to be very strongly contested. Upon the announce. mint of the intention of Mr. Trent to decline standing for the town, two gentlemen have already declared themselves. and a third k spa. ken of very confidently. A meeting of the friends of Sir John Rae Reid took place on Saturday evening, at the Bay Tree Ta.ern, St. Swithin's-lanc. That gentleman was present t and, in a short speech, after stating his intention of standing a contest, said that his political principles were independent. He would be influenced neither by:Mirdsters:nor constituen s. He would go into Par. lament unfettered by pledges, and ut shackled orpatty--astd upon to other terms. There were a large number of the ►reemen pre s ent, who received his address with great approbation. A circular was distributed in tire room, announcing the intention of Mr. John: Hui comb to nitre himself, for the third time, as a candidate for the re. presentation. It is rumoured that this gentleman has secured strong interest, in a quarter which seldom falls of ensuring the return of their candidate. The other party spoken of as having commenced an active canvas, is the eon of Lord Sondes, brother to the Hon. Mr. Watson, who intends to stand for Canterbury. REPRESENTATION OP YORKSHIRE. A very large proportion of outreadets will learn this day for the first time. with feelings of equal surpri se an d regret , that both Lord Milton and Mr. Marshall have determined to retire from the repre. sentatiun of the county of York on the approaching dissolution of Parliament. At the advanced age to which the venerable Earl, the father of our noble represertative, has attained, it is not un. natural that his son and successor should decline fo encounter the toil and expense of an election for ibis great county, more especially when, from a variety of causes, arising out of the peculiar circumstances of the succession to the Crown, future elections may become very frequent. Of the certainty of his Lordship's return, had be thought proper again to solicit the suffrages of the Freeholders, these could have been no doubt. Whatever difference of opinion may have existed on the various and important subjects which have engaged public atte nt i on d ur i ng t h e long period of the connexion between his Lordship and the county of York, in this all men are agreed—" that he has shown an undeviating ad. herence to principles, of the soundness of which he was satisfied, and has invariably done what appeared to him to be right." Mr. Itlansisau.'s reasons for retiring from the representation of Yorkshire are more numerous and still more cogent. The high sense of the unremitting duty imposed upon a representative of the county of York ; the great exertion necessary for the due perform. au* of that duty; the late hours at which the business of Parlia ment is transacted; his own age; and, above all, the prospect of frequent dissolutions of Parliament, have no doubt all conspired to produce the determination he has now taken. The loss of such a representative u Mr. Marshall, who has so well redeemed all his pledges ; who has devoted with so much assiduity hie nights and days to the public interest; who has shown so strong an inclination, and so much ability to serve this great commercial community, will be generally deplored ; and those who have had the best opportunity of judging of his zeal and fidelity as a county member, will be most anxious that he should still re main in Parliament, though within a more limited sphere of action. Several names have been mentioned as suitable representatives of this great county; but as none of the patties have yet avowed themselves on the present occasion, we shall at present abstain from repeating their names. The constituent body has an important duty to perform, in filling up the vacancies occasioned by the recent re signations. It is incumbent en them to have men devoted to liberal principles ; men who will support the cause of economy and reform; who will make the public good the standard whereby to regulate their conduct; who will oppose all oppressive monopolies, whether at home or abroad; whose minds can keep pace with the light of the age in which they live; who will relax the severity of our criminal law; abolish slavery in whatever part of the B ' Is dominions it may exist ; and who will act on the principle that the great end of govern. ment is to confer the largest sum of happiness upon the people. We fear that the alteration made in the number of representatives for this county has opened so wide a door to expence at elections, that it will be difficult to find independent men to represent us, and we see no remedy for this evil but one that we have frequently recom mended, and that we venture again at this juncture to urge upon the consideration of the freeholders, namely, to return members free from expense. That this is practicable has repeatedly been proved by the example of the city of Westminster, and another example of a similar kind is now about to be set in the County of kliddfrsex. This is one of the first and most important steps to wards a parliamentary reform. If the constituents do not return their members freely, they have no right to expect that they should represent them faithfully. Some doubt, it seems, has been expressed as to the correctness of the statement we made on the 19th ult. but we can repeat with perfect confidence, from an unquestionable sourer of information, that Mr. Fountayno Wilson has determined to retire from the rem. =union of this sounty.—Leeds Mercury. THE LITE KING'S REPUTED SON. (From a Sunday Paper.) While George the Fourth lay on his death-bed, a gentleman in dioßussisn servix named Nord, or Naad, arrived in England, who is said to be the natural son of our late Alonaech by a widow, the relative of a Russian nobleman, who came to this co u n tr y many years ago in consequence of havin g suspected of contributing to the death of the Emperor PauL The lady returned to her melee land, and thither the son, after being educated in England, &Hared her,land obtained a commission in the Russian army. The young man had some reason to expect that hies presence here might .be grate ful to one high personage ; and indeed it has been a ffi rmed, that some of his relations have visited him and shown him much kind ness This, however, is untrue : they have not taken notice of him in any way ; and learning that in the will of tbe deceased no mendon is made of him, the gentleman proposed to leave En g l an d tame , row. His friends ate hurt that he should not have been noticed.: They have induced him to delay his departure for some time. Thai resemblance he bears to the King is said to be so striking, that to look on him, and doubt his origin, is impossible. lie is, moreover, celebrated for bravery, generosity, and every noble quality. Regret is felt that the only son of one dear to the English nation should seek a foreign shore, bearing with him no mark of his connec tion with that august family of which be may be considered a member. We are, however, assured, that the proud and high minded officer has lade no effint, directly or indirectly, since his residence here, to obtain their patronage. Were the case made known to the present King, it is probable his kindly feeling for "a brother's blood" would yet be manifested, and the young soldier find a fit protector in the :opt] sailor. Air. Nord is, we hear, just live.and.twenty years old. He is an excellent musician, acid is well.known to Lord and lAdy Burghtrsh, and many other 'arsons of distinction. " For years,' writes a gentlen.an, an officer in the army, " I am proud to ray, I have lived with on the closest terms of friendship in various parts of the Continent, and I can declare never have I associated with any man of nobler principles.

PARIS, JULY 2.—There is to.day a remarkable avowal in one of the ministerial journals; it is this :—" The King can change his Ministry, if be is convinced that there are among his subjects men more ca pa ble of directing the administration of France than his present advisers ; and he can raise them to power, and all this without impairing his prerogative." We do not say anything different. A report has been spread that an ordinance against the press will be issued, and that the Chamber would be porogued till December. The Tribune, repeating these reports, says to.day—" After having appealed to legal measures. and found Itself defeated, the Ministry is supposed to have resolved to try force, and to obtain by a coup eretat what it has been unable to obtain by time and intrigue." We do not believe this statement, whatever may be the private thoughts of thew who compose the actual cabinet. The ques tion raised by this journal is one relative to the system of government, and the royal authority alone can decide it. After the ministry of concession, which was to have been a ministry of conciliation, Royalty arrested the liberal arms by a minority of inaction. We now want a ministry of direction and action. Events all tend that way. Royalty will do all that ought to b e done--all that can be made compatible with its dignity and the interests France. (From the Arranger des Chambres of Friday.) ANCONA, Jima 10. (From Ms Augsburg Gazette.) An English merchantman, from Malta, brings the news that the' Des of Algiers has recured all his treasures, and that the French' will meet with great resistance at Algiers. He intends to quit the city, and afterwards blockade the French in his tarn at the - head of his numerous hordes of Bedouins. He appears besides to depend on a war between England and France in consequence of the French colonization of the African coast to resume possession of Algiers, without giving France the satisfaction It requires.

The great Improvements of Mr. Blaxwell Dick in the construc tion of Suspension Railways have been already described at some length in a former paper. It will be recollected that one of the advantages he proposes to us is to obviate the dif f iculties and the ex. pease of the erection of common railways on uneven ground, by raising the track or way on pillars mconunodated in their height to the level of the earth. By thus enabling carriages to move in the air on a frame of rods, laid down at the expense of about 1,4001. a mile, while the ground rail-roads average five or six thou sand. Mr. Dick hopes to accelerate the adoption of the great int provanents in communication which must result from the employ. went of rail-roads, and at the same time to increase the speed of travelling, which he proposes, on his road, to make fifty or sixty miles an hour. The proprietors of the Panharmonian Gardens, in Liverpool-street, Gray's Inn-road, have erected one of these suspen. sion rail-roads, to the extent of something more than half a mile; and they propose, we understand, to exhibit the practicability of the plan, and the velocity which can be attained, by conveying visitors of the gardens from one end of the line to another, at the rate of :10 or 40 miles an hour. The whole of the machinery is extremely elegant and simple. Arches of neat proportions, supported by metal pil tars, are raised at convenient distances; and • beam of wood, placed on these arches, receives a grooved wheel, to which a chair, capable of containing one or two persons, Is suspended. The as vellas, in this short distance, propel themselves by means of a hand crank at the rate of fifteen or sixteen miles an hour • bet the machinery is so constructed es to admit of the applladen of limes worked by steam, which might accelerate the velmley to any speed which has ever been conceived by the most Dar wenian projector. The motion, when produced by amnia club - LITERARY' INWILLICEPICA We have perused the Brieles Mosinfor he this month, and we do ft but justice to say that Its contests me of that instructive, and, at he same time, amusing character, which never falls to engage, agraeably, the attention of a reader, sod to lead him inconsciously on from the first page to the last ; while good taste is never offended by self conceited and boastful pretensions. Mr. Pa 'sots, in the lint paper. a South Africa's sketch, has afforded some entertaining soologial information'i and given an example of what an attentive traveller might yet do to explain the metaphorical !angler of the Bible. He Informs us, in confirmation of a Biblical critichm, in a work by a Professor Paxton, of Edinburgh, that the isebi of the Hebrews, which is translated in the versions of the Bible, roe and roe-buck, should be translated antelope, which animal is still, by the Bechuana Whys, termed isebi ; and is the same called by the Dutch, at the Cape ol Hood Hope, the spriswbok. We have lest this animal, and its eye is, we can testify, truly « worth a Jew's eye." Perhaps the frequent use of the roe in the sacred oral song of Solomon, as applied metaphorically to other female charms, might, on a close examination of the springbok, or African antelope, sad its man ners, be found not so uncouthly inapplicable, as it at present seems, to a modem intellect. The visit in June 2000, to the Grand National Cemetery,—an undertaking which, we trust, will actually be visited at the above data, to the credit of the taste, feeling, and judgment of the present generation,—is a very ingeniously-imagined jest d'esprir, from which, had we space, we would gladly make considerable quota tions; but newspaper critics must learn to be moderate, even in their thafts.—Proceeding along a terrace commanding a fine view of London New-Town, lately erected upon the old heath at Hemp stead, in an inner inclosure appropriated for the reception of the remains of remarkable persons of past ages, the visitor approaches the monument of the Rev. EDWARD limit), on which is the following inscription : " Extending some leagues along this space lies the great Leviathan of oratory, the foasil.remains of the most popular of preachers, the Mammoth of metaphors ; who, with a tale eloquent and ornamental, lashed the rebellious into obedience, . and the torpid into admiration and awe. The greatest orator of the age by at least two inches, he looked Aown on his contemporaries with contempt ; and being superior to the rest of mankind, he was free from the meanest dell passions—envy. He rivalled, in the flow of his figures, the multiplication table, oe a quadrille. Like Sampson's His strength might be said tole in his hair; the curls whereof reached from the Highlands to Hatton-garden; so that every Lock was as an Essay on the Human Understanding. His eloquence operating like steam, in drawing a considerable number of carriages,— havingexercised the hones of the nobility for three successive weeks— having withered the bower of Moore's fame with a glance, and dispelled the pyramid of Byron with a breath, he ascended in an imaginative balloon in search of the Millennium • ;but unfortunately striking his head ag ainst a star, he was thrown out, and fell into a stupor, or poetical tram*, from which he never recovered." On some future day we may, perhaps, find a corner foe the epi. taph on the Poet Laureate, which we think peculiarly felicitous. There are three beautiful Poems from the pens of L. E. L. the Rev. Thomas Dale, and Mr. (or more correctly Dr.) Bowring--and one entitled ' 6 My Mother's Last Kiss,"—an importation from across the Atlantic, of great delicacy and feeling. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Saturday, a meeting was held in the Saloon of the Proprietors of Drury-lane Theatre, foe the purpose of receiving the annual state ment of accounts, the election of six members of the Committee in the zoom of those annually retiring, and other business. Mr. CALCRAFT in the Chair. From the Annual Report, read by Mr. Dunn, it appeared that, during the last year, the Lessee had failed in the payment of his rent to the extent of 1.8001. and that, from that and other causes, the deficiency of the income of the Theatre amounted, in the last year, to 8,9271. 13s. Id. That when the late Lessee retired, the Sub-Committee had, with the assistance of Mr. Wallack. ear. vied on the business of the theatre to the end of the season. That in the month of May they advertised foe tenders from perms pro. posing to become Lessees for a period of seven or fourteen years; but finding, upon consideration, that circumstances rather fa. voured their letting for a shorter period, they received biddings for three years ; and that of Mr. A. Lee appearing most de. suable, they agreed with that gentleman at a rent of 9,0001. a-year t he made a deposit of 2,0001. and gave approved se curity for a further payment of 3,0001. The building would be delivered up to him in good order, and requiring but very little to be laid out in ornamental work or otherwise. The payment to the renters of Is. 3d. had been made in the last year to the extent 3,8431. The only debt due was that to the band-holders, amoun, principal and interest, to 10,5771. The balance of each In band was only 8161. and the committee regretted that out of so small a sum no dividend could be made. It was hoped that, shortly after the opening of the theatre, they would be enabled to pay the amount of interest due. The Chairman expressed his regret that the report was not more flattering, but It was their duty to report things as they were. He had the satisfaction of being able to state, that all the actors and tradespeople had been paid. After adverting to the liberal manner in which the performers had agreed, under the peculiar dr cumstances of the theatre, to relinquish 25 per cent. of their respective salaries, he proceeded to say that the Proprietary owed a deep debt of gratitude to Mr. Wall;ck, for his unceasing and meritorious exertions ou their behalf. He wished the circum. stances of the Theatre were such as would enable them to re. ward his integrity and zeal by a present equal to his deserts. The rent which Mr. Prim agreed to pay for the theatre was 10,6001; they were this year under the necessity of letting it at a reduction of 16001: but that was not a pmponionally greater reduction than all property in the kingdom had undergone. It was important to ob serve that one of the reasons which induced them to fix a period of three years to the lease was, that boxes of the value of between two and three thousand per annum would fall into the hands of the proprietary at the end of that time, and whatever they might happen to be then worth, would be a clear addition to the rent they should be entitled to demand from their lessee. From the time when he was first called upon to fill the office of Chairman, he had necessarily given much attention to the &Wain of the Theatre, and, without instituting any invidious comparison between that and any other, he might be allowed to say, that within the last eleven vests there was not any Theatre conducted with greater general success. The average amounts drawn during those years were 9,3001. independently of the fruit offices and the houses belonging to the proprietors; the latter two producing 1,1001. a year above the average sum of 9.3001.—and that, notwithstanding the losses they had sustained by the failure of two lessees, and notwithstanding the dimmers which had befallen theatrical property generally. lie had also much satisfactimi in being able to state that all claims upon them they had liquidated, except the sums due to the bondholder,, which, principal and in. Wrest, amounted to somewhat upwards of 10.0001. They began with a debt of 90.0001. which might now be considered as reduced to ten thousand pounds. He estimated that they might look forward to a surplus income of front 3,1001. to 3,2001. a-year, applicable to the reduction of the remaining debt, and which, accordingly, would enable them to clear it 'Win about four years. He did not envy the other house its great auctess ; but he could not shut his eyes to the fact, that that success had diminished the receipts if Drury-lane below their ordinary amount, by a sum of 8.0001. at the least. He would not take up their time Magee than In state that that was the last time he should have Cie honour et ad dressing them front the Chair. He had always taken the interest in their proceedings, and done his utmost to aerv 4 e l = with diligence for twelve years, and he much regretted that dr. cumstances should new make his retirement unavoidable. He had great pleasure in knowing that he was to be succeeded by a -utternan, Lamb, OF PARLIAMRN P. It is understood thee the House of Commons will get through its portion of the public business by Friday nest, a d Oust they will, on that day, adjourn until Wednesday, the lith. If the Howe of Leeds is able to dispose of the business before it by the• day, the dissolution will then take place forthwith ; but it' any un foreseen didlculties arise in the meantime, the dissolution will pro bably be postponed till Tuesday the 19th, beynpd which day the session will not be prolonged. As the late King's funeral takes place on the 15th, it Is probable that the Houses, if the dissolu don cannot be effected on the 11th, will adjourn over till the Mon day following. •,.a.b.• 1 1 1 5
