d eem This he was preparel to disprove, and to .hew that it was delivered on a 'full review and know l e dge of all the circumstances of the case.— H ere the Honourable Baronet read an extract from the written opinion of Mr. Palmer's Counsel. He acknowledged that there was some parr of that Gen tleman's conduct that was not strictly defers'ble ; b a t he denied that it could at all affect the question as to the justice of his claim, inasmuch as Abe con• duct alluded to, so far from evincing any want of i nte grity in his public trust, asose from his impatience it t he ignorance of those who were set over him.— Lord Walsingham and Lord Chesterfield had, never theless, greatly to their honoNfr, borne ample testi :ooy to the general merits of Mr. Palmer. There llewise, sufficient proof in the great' increase dthe revenue, of the value and importance of Mr. pi a iper's plan—a plan which had required great tints and exertions to carry into execution—an ob ject,however, which Mr. Palmer had successfully ac complished. It was a most unfair principle then to ass ume, that because the gain to the public had been p o rmous, and the per centage to the individual must d course be great, therefore the House ought to pote before they fulfilled the demands of justice.— Uhen he saw sinecures actually increasing in propor tta+ to increasing distresses of the country, and House refusing to interfere, on the ground that , t he Gentlemen holding them had a legal right to ' their possession, he thought it very hard that such an argument should he urged in a case where great actual service had been performed, and where no im provident bargain had been made. Mr. BANKES said a few words in opposition to the Bill, which was read a third time and passed. FRAMEWoRK-KNITTERS BILL. Mr. PARKER COKE moved the second reading of the Framework-knitters Bill. He stated the object to be to prevent the too prevalent practice of selling private and fraudulent manufactures. Mr. W. SMITH, Mr. GIDDY, and Mr. LOCKHART, said a few words in approbation of the principle of the Bill, which was then read a second time. EXCHEQUER REMEMBRANCER'S BILL. Mr. H. MARTIN then rose to move, that the Ex chequer Remembrancer's Bill should be read a second time. The principle of this Bill he stated to be si milar to that of a measure which he had lately sub mitted, that of rendering it unlawful for a public offi cer to derive advantage from the interest of money strusted to his custody. Mr. MARTIN observed, that there was in the bands of the Remembrancer of the Exchequer at this moment, of the suitors' money, to the amount of 11,500,0 X), while at the same time he gave no secti nty. In leis predecessor's time a sum of 815,000 had been lent out on mortgage. If it was allowable to lay ant any part of the suitors' money in this way, the tiliole might be so laid out. The House then Went into a Committee, when cer- tin Amendments were agreed to, the Bill was te potted and was ordered to be taken into farther con iitration on Friday, and to be pr;nt4.-4. Adjourned. AFHOLT MAIL. ST. PETERSBURGH, )UNE 8. It is very generally believed, that peace w'rth Tur key is so fm settled, that it only requires theiatifica d the Porte. Admiral Cleehazoff is arrived here from Bucharest. Lauriston, and the Ministers this Allies, have their carriages in readiness, and give out that they are to set out immediately.

This powerful instrument of acting , to the eye, the most forcibly used in the banquetttng scene ; and also in that, which, by its impreslion, became the last scene of the play ; for, after her exhibition of a tortured conscience in her sleep, the company would see and hear no more—the electrical effect was produced—and the audience literally en cored the scene. They became boisterous in their applause of her acting, and in calling for a repetition. —The incongruity of stopping the march of a Tra gedy, for the encore of a whole scene, like a song in an opera, struck one part of the house, while ano ther continued to demand it. The curtain dropt— an attempt was made to soli( irthe pleasure of the house to permit the, play to proceed—but no—and after a long suspension the certain rose—Mrs. SID. DONS appeaied to take her leave. She was seated by a table, in the dress of the sleep sane. Her advance to the front of the stage was met with universal ap plause ; and alter a moment's apparent struggle with herself, she began the following Address (written by HORACE TWISS, Esq.) with great feeling and effect : Who has not felt, how growing use endears The fond remembrance of our former years ? Who has not sigh'd, when doom'd to leave at last The hopes of youth, the habits of the past, The thousand ties and interests, that impart A second nature to the human heart, And, wreathing round it close, like tendrils, climb, Blooming in age, and sanctified by time ? Yes ! at this moment crowd upon my mind Scenes of bright days for ever left beitind, Bewildering visions of *nrapturerktyouth, "When hope and fancy wore the hisses of truth; And long-forgotten years that alt iost seem The faded traces of a moving dream ! Sweet are those mournful Noughts: for they renew The pleasing sense of all I owe to you— For each inspiring smile, and soothing tear— For those full honours of my long career, That cheer'd my earliest hope, anti chaid my latest fear I And though, for me, those tears shall flow no more, And the warm sunshine of your smile is o'er— Though the bright beams are fading fast away, That shone unclouded through my summer day; Yet grateful Memory shall reflect their light O'er the dim shadows of the coming night, And lend to later life a softer tone, A moonlight tint, a inure of her own ! Judges and Friends ! to whom the tragic strain Of Nature's feeling never spokSin vain, . Perhaps your hearts, when years have gilded by, And past emotions wake a fleeting sigh, May think on her, whose lips have pour'd so long The charmed sorrows of your Shakspeare's song—. On her, who, parting to return no more, Is now the mourner she but :sexed bafore— Herself subdu'd, resigns the melting spell, • And breathes, with swelling heart, her long, her last farewell ! Mrs. SIDDONS delivered this Address with much firmness, impressiveness and effect until near the close, when, her voice faultering and dying away, she was handed eff the stage by Mr. KESIBLE ;—she retired bowing, and followed by acclamations from all parts of the most crowded house that we have ever seen. On the fall of the curtain, Mr. KEsiRLE returned to know whether k was the pleasure of the audience that the play should go on ? but they would hear no more, and the greater part retired immediately. Thus bath terminated the professional career of one of the greatest actresses in tragedy that the world ever saw or enjoyed : and it must solace this meri torious lady, to know, in her retirement, that her last scenic exertion was crowned with the full approba tion of the princely, the noble, the wise, and the good ; as we never saw an auditory more splendidly filled, than that of Covent-Garden was on this occa sion. • Mrs. SIDDONS first appeared in the Theatre Royal Drury-lane, in 1775, under an engagement made with Mr. SIDDONS, at Cheltenham, that summer, by _ _ _ YARMOUTH.JUNE 29.

INSPECTION OF CAVALRY.—This morning at tea o'clock, the Ist and 2d Regiments of Life Guards mustered, with their appointments in the fullest order. in Hyde Park, opposite the Barracks, for the purpose of being inspected by the Commander.in-Chief, Lord HEATHFIELD, and the usual Staff. The bands of both regiments made n nouvelle appearance; the blacks in long Moorish turbans, and the other performers in Austrian costume attracted general admiration.— They performed several pieces of martial music t• the g re at en te rtainment of a numerous a sse mblageof ladies fhe Duke of YORK arrived, with his suite, about a quarter past ten o'clock, when a shower descended, and, for a time, put the Ladies to the route. Fine weather, however, soon returned, and the Regiments went through a variety of evolutions in a most brilliant style. Several persons of distinction were present. The 9th, and 82d, two very stron and effective regiments (the 82d being 1100 strong ),et Gibraltar, are under orders to join Lord WELLINGTON. They will be replaced by the 26th, 77th, and 83d. The transports that carry the latter regiments to Gib:. raltar, will take the two former regiments from thence I to Lisbon. The 6th foot, 900 strong, at Jersey, are also under orders to join Lord WELLINGTON. . A detachment of the Royal Waggon Train, em• barked on Friday, at Portsmouth, for Portugal. Thursday Major-General DURHAM inspected the de. tachment of the Ayrshire Militia, quartered in Gree nock, and expressed himself highly satisfied with their appearance. Thursday the skeleton of the 70th Regiment of Foot arrived at Leith, late from the West Indies ; they remained in Edinburgh that night, and marched next morning for Stirling. Forty-three men and four officers, of the Inver ness•shire Militia, who have been ordered to Scotland -en the recruiting service, were landed at Leith on Thursday from London. Most sincerely as that gallant old experienced Officer,- Lieutenant Colonel WYATT (who comman ded so ably the 2d Battalion of the Welch Fuzeleers, in the memorable Corunna campaign) wishes, with his brave comrades, to join the Ist Battalion in• the Peninsula, yet from some unfortunate and unknown cause, the recruiting and ►olunteeting to the 2d Bat talion 23d Regiment, has not been attended with that success which in former years was known, and, con sequently, the weak state of that Battalion does not admit of its going on service. The 16th Regiment of Infantry, under the com mand of Lieutenant-Colonel TOLLIY, halted at Stam ford on Tuesday and the fallowing day, on their march from Woodbridge to Durham (Lieutenant- General Sir C. GREWS district, who is Colonel of the Regiment).—This Regiment has been dreadfully exhausted by mortality during eight years service at Surinam, and v.-as I perfect skeleton a few weeks ago, on returning from that unhealthy country ; but the late volunteering from the militia , (particularly from the Royal South Lincoln Regiment) has added considerably to its numbers, and it is now upwards of 500 strong.
