Mr. Hunt waited on Saturday upon the Lord Mayor, and handed to his Lordship a Requisition, signed by a numerous body of the Livery, of which the following is a copy : " TO THE LORD MAYOR. " We, whose names are hereunto subscribed, Liverymen of the City of London, request your Lordship, at your earliest conve. nience, to convene a Common Hall to take into consideration the alarming distress which now pervades all ranks of the community, except these who have fixed incomes, annuitants, and those who live upon the taxes, and then and there to adopt such measures as will most effectually put a stop to the widespreading and devastating evil." The LOAD Mara* having read the Requisition, said he should, upon a very early day after the next week, appoint a day for calling the livery together ; but he must confess, that the necessity of now discussing the distress of the country did not strike him as at all very pressing The distress was certainly abating throughout the country, and would no doubt soon yield to a general prosperity. It was well known that the distress arose from the inundation of Irish into this country. They were now obtaining employment, and government was exerting itself for the amelioration of the condition of all. Mr. HUNT said, it had never occurred to him that the inundation of Irish labourers could produce such tremendous distress. He thought something must be done for its relief at bead-quarters. The Spanish and Neapolitan Ministers had interviews , on Saturday with the Earl of ABERDEEN, at the Foreign Office. A Deputation from the Brewers, headed by Col. PEEL and MT.

In the House, on the grounds that be was having "a chop at the landed interest ;" and Mr. Pin. retorted, that he had "as large a stake In the landed interest as the hon. baronet himself."

The whole of the Annual Finance Accounts—namely, those of public expenditure, consolidated fund, public funded debt, unfunded debt, disposition of grants, arrears and balances, &c.— have just been laid on the table of the House of Commons ; so that all things show, according to those who pretend to understand such matters, that the Treasury business will be accelerated as much as possible, in order that Parliament may be dismissed before the anni. versary of the battle of W ater l oo , 18th June. An account was " laid on the table," on Friday, of " unsettled demands" on the funds provided by France for liqui dating the claims of British subjects on France, and of the " us. appropriated balance of the funds." Why was it not ordered to be printed It is to be hoped that Mr. BZINAL, or some other lionourable Member who has taken part in the discussions on this buitnen, will move " that the said accounts be printed." At pee. sent those MSS. remaining in the Clerk at the Table's great pees bag are as 'sealed book. dlcsicAL.—W e are authorised to state, that the beau tiful new Ballad, called " THE HIGHLAND MINSTREL BOY," sung by Mr. ANDERSON, in Guy Massacring, and most enthusi. natically encored, is the composition of Joint BARNETT ; and frau the elegant simplicity of the melody, we are convinced that it will become equally popular with " The Light Guitar" and " Rise Gen. tie Moon," by the same Author.

Is it not singular—is it not Mennen of the two great Theatres of this capital should condole to recriminate upon the public for what they consider a brush it duty in deserting their houses and starving their treasury, who the true cause is in their own destructive monopoly, prodigal expenditure, and general system of mismanagement, which have so fatally mill. tated against the drama of the present day; nay, reduced Meipo. mene and her laughing sister to a state of reprobation and neglect t For abusing an unjust and mischievous patent inconsiderately granted at a period when theatrical licentiousness, and the yet rude and un. formed taste of a metropolitan audience, may have rendered some such restriction necessary, have they not—first—with a cupidity carrying its self.punishment along with it, erected houses of such stupendous magnitude that they seem to have been built to contain the population of the whole capital at once ? Have they not, in paramount solicitude for the' Cam," neglected to consider public gratification and comfort, and by the vitiated stage over which they preside, and the wretched trash of their dramatic repertory, proved that it is " So Sara As penny," and not to promote purity and taste that they have assumed the arduous task of directing our thea trkals ? Does not their ungrateful perseverance in an erroneous system, both before and behind the curtain, in defiance of public censure, as well as the bill of spurious fare with which they daily present the town, to the disgust of all true lovers of the Drama, clearly demonstrate, that It is quantity and not quality of audience they would attract to their benches t—whllst, fearful, like the dog in the manger, lest any other theatre should presume to catch the smallest ray of public favour. In whatever province of stage exhibi. tion, have they not illiberally strained their inordinate and grievous pretensions of exclusive right to perform all and every species of re. presentation which the stage embraces, until they neither can satisfy the town themselves, or willingly permit others to undertake the task, or participate in the profit. Tragedy, Comedy, Drama, Melodrama, Farce, Interlude, Passional**, &trio and Buffoon Ballot, Spectacle, Slight of Hand, " Tour de fora," Concert and Opera—all ! all ! are professed in their highest perfection by these admirable directors of universal genius, who view with jealousy the very mobs which assemble in the streets round Punch's show—and look: upon every dog.dancer.-. bear leader—fire eater—monster—and blind fiddler—as a rival and interloper_ in their market ! In order to uphold so abominable a monopoly—they are compelled to maintain a corps ds reserve of sinecure artists in readiness for a call ;—that corps being in itself sufficient to supply an efficient dramatis persona for a dozen successful theatres :—and this, too, an expenee, be it cabs reed, which is heavily saddled on their patrons;—for when the pi& can be induced to witness the performance of a piece—they mutt pay, not only to remunerate the artists then before them, but also to defray the enormous salaries of a legion of tragedians, comedians, singers, dancers, minuet' painters, and decorators, kicking their heels behind the scenes—or killing their time is pus. l suits of private pleasure. In addition to all this °mamba. ing expenditure—they have necessarily been led by their direct and exclusive rivalry to manceuvre in opposition, in the hope of out-vying each other, by granting enormous and ruinous salaries, until the leading performers, now popularly designated Stars, are remunerated beyond all precedent. The mutual obstacle and inter ruption occasioned to each particular branch of the Drama in this vain attempt to cultivate them all, on the same stage, stints and represses improvement In every department ; subverts the dignity and importance of the Stage, by confounding all distinctions of histrionic talent, sensibly degenerated amongst us, from the impediments offered to particular assiduity in any regular and distinct school; while, alienated by this notorious decadence and corruption of our stage—the polished and intellectual portion of the community have long ago abandoned the national theatres to the lovers of mummery and spectacle—to the prostitutes and lobby loungers, whose Dutch orgies (hideous remnant of gross times) are encouraged in spite of public indignation, from the predominance of mere selfish and sordid considerations. Would that this were the whole extent of the evil !—but an injury arises from all this de. plorable abuse—still more disgraceful to the present generation, and wrongful to posterity ;—for it too long has been, and threatens yet to be, an insuperable bar to dramatic literature.

DRURY-LANE THEATRICAL FUND FESTIVAL. --,1..-- Saturday Mr. Harley, the indefatigable Muter of of Drury-laps Theatrical Fund, in instituting which Garrick ob. tained royal charter in 1777—the committee, and several of the members of the Fund, consisting of Messrs. Postal, (the father of the stage,) Hughes, Webster, Tom Cook, (Master of the Musical tof Festival); 0. Smith, Bedford, Thompson, Fits. wi sod Younge, attended in Kean's private room, for the pur pose of receiving the report of Messrs. Webster, Parley, and W. Bennett, who had been delegated to wait upon his Royal High. nees the Duke of Clarence to receive his Royal Highness's commands respecting the Fund Festival to be celebrated on Wednesday nest. Mr. Webster stated, that in obedience to the request of the Com. mime, he and his colleagues proceeded on Friday to Busby Park ; on their arrival, however, his Royal Highness was taking a ride in the Park, but immediately he received information of the deputation being in waiting, his Royal Highness returned to his mansion, and t aLinig equipped himself in his dinner dress, ornamented with the Star and Blue Ribbon, received the deputation in the 7 .lCdience Chamber" in the most gracious and condescending mariner. Webster presented an Announce Bill, printed upon satin, to his Royal Highness, which contained a list of above 100 of the principal Nobility, who had enrolled their names as Vice Presidents, and many of them had signified their determination of 'attending to sup port his Royal Highness in the chair on Wednesday next. His Royal Highness appeared delighted at the communication, and in alluding to the excellent support which vu given to the Covent Garden Fund at the recent Anniversary, was pleased to observe, that the drama had always met his best wishes and support, and in furtherance of these views, he should attend at the Tavern, precisely at a quarter before six o clock. ' His Royal High. near expressed his satisfaction on learning that the assemb lag e was likely to be exceedingly brilliant, and the subscriptions liberal. The deputation expressed their thanks to his Royal Highness, and took leave. Mr. HUGMES read communications from his Grace the Duke of St. Alban's, the Marquis of Clandearde, the Earl of Roslyn, Earl Cassilis, Earl of Belfort, Lord Saltoun, and Lord William Lennox, accepting the office of Vice-President. He also read letters from Lord Glengall and Colonel Berkeley—the former stating his inter. ', tion of attending the festival, and the latter enclosing a draft of 101. to the fund. THE LATE FATAL DUEL. ADJOURNED INQUEST ON THE LATE MR. O'GRADY. DUILIW, MARCH 21. Yesterday the Jurors summoned again, assembled at Portobello barracks. Captain Edwards was again called to give evidence. Did you, Captain Edwards, during the time that your retf .. .Th the 32d, was in Kilkenny, hear that Captain Markham was in a quarrel with a man in humble life, named Grey ? I did; present at the transaction. Juror—As you were present at the transaction, you bad better detail it. Captain Edwards : Does this bear on the present Inquiry ? Juror: Did you bear that Grey had been the object of an outrage by Captain Markham, and through his means lost his eye? Captain Edwards : He did accidentally, in coesequense of an assault made on Captain Markham, and in defending himself the accident occurred. Captain Markham, however, made ample com pensation for it, and liberally compensated a ll parties, and pre. vented the matter from being brought before a court of justice. Juror : Was the compensation voluntary, and without being forced from him by the threat of a proeecution ? Captain Edwar ds • The compensation was offered before any legal proceeding was commenced ; I know it, as I myself was the person commissioned to make that offer. Juror: There is a Mr. Grogan holds the rank of lieutenant in your regiment ? Captain Edwards t No; I believe he holds the rank of ensign. Juror: Have you heard, or do you know or believe, that Mr. Groganhad a quarrel lately with a citizen of Dublin ? Captain Edwards : I consider that to be an entirely different ease from the one before the jury. Juror—Your declining to answer that question is a violation of your oath. Coroner—Not at all ; he is bound to answer all such questions as may be relating to the death of Standish Siemer O'Grady. Juror—l am going to show that O'Grady was sacrificed; that the blood of O'Orsdy was shed to wash away the stains of the re. giment. Coroner : Before the evidence is read, you go to Hod the gentle. men guilty. It is highly indecorous. Juror : Do you rule the question against me ? Coroner : I 410. iiii./Ones(UTuror) : Yes; and your question meets with our de. tided disapprobation. Juror (pointing to the reporters) : Take a note of that. It having been decided thattaln Edwards should not be fur ther questioned, the jury to view the ground, a field near the canal, between the Sd and 4th bridge hom Portobello; the spots on which the parties stood were marked. A haystack, situate at a distance of about 200 yards, covered Mr. O'Grady ; and a house about twice that distance covered Captain Smith as they stood; the circumstance moat disadvantageous to Mr. O'Grady was, that he was placed exactly opposin to the cornet of the field, a hedge on one side, and a bank on the other, forming an angle =sway behind him, and immediately in the corner was a gap in the hedge, continuing across to the next field. On the re-assembling of the jury, the Major of the 32d entered the room, and said the conduct of Mr. Grogan, on the occasion of his quarrel, had been regulated not by his own, but b 7 the opinion of others, and his superior officets were perfectly satished with it. Mr. R. Morrison saw the assault committed; Captain Smith came Into the hotel afterwards, and asked the name of the person he had flogged ; he told him it was Mr. O'Grady. Colonel Alaitland, of the Mid, always considered Captain Smith. and his second, gentlemanly men ; heard nothing of the quarrel till after the duel. R. Any, a workman in the factory on the canal bank, saw at a distance the parties on the ground, heard the shots, and saw a man fall : he assisted in carrying deceased to the carriage; deceased said Captain Smith fired before his time. Sir G. Neville, a police magistrate, did not know that Mr. Smith ever complained at the police office against a Mr. Dillon, In conse. quence of • quarrel in the theatre; if it had happened be must have known it. W. Salmon—l live in Dolphin's Barn; on Thursday, 18th March, the man that was here before me, was going to work with me that morning at six o'clock ; I saw four men in a field; and I beard two shots fired, and one man fall ; another gentleman left the field, and I and the man with me went into the field, and we asked leave from the gentleman was it any harm to go any farther; be told me to wait for a minute, while the doctor was dressing the wound ; the man that was dressing, desired us to take him up as smart u possible out to the carriage ; I helped him into the carriage ; the gentleman said, " lay me on the ground," but we dial not; I did not hear him say one word but that ; I saw the smoke from the two pistols ; witness described the manner in which be beard the two shots, by slapping his band as quick as possible after one another ; the man that was with me lay down on the grass when the gentleman was going into the coach; Farly was just as if he were in a faint, lying on the grass; that, I suppose, was caused by the sight of the wound. Pat. O'Brien—l hear there was a duel In a field near my louse; went towards it; saw Mr. O'Grady carried towards the earriage, and assisted in doing It; heard Mr. O'Grady say Mr. Smith had we cause to fire the first shot, and that he (11r. O'Grady)did not give the offence. The Jury having retired for one hour and a quarter, returned with the following verdict—" We find that Standish Stamm O'Grady, came to his death by a pistol ball, fired at him by Capt. R. Smith, of the 92d regiment, on the morning of the 18th instant, at a field near the Grand Canal, near Kilmainham Commons, in the county of nubile, and that the said Captain J. it. Smith is guilty of Man. slaughter and the jurors do further find, that sftpt. Frederick Markham:, of the same regiment, was aiding and abetting the said John Roland Smith, and t h at Lieut. Frederick Manta:neva, of the &h Hussars, was present, as ftiend to the deceased, and that the said panics are not forthcoming, and that the value of the said pistol is twenty shillings" IRISH A SSISTA N T-BA ILRIIITE RIB —A case illustrative of a point of law which came on before Lord PLUNKETT at Trim, involves a principle applicable to the whole kingdom. It proves, Ithat 'Moe the year 1816, when the Assistant-Barristers of Ireland obtained jurisdiction in civil bill ejtctmenta, they have been in the habit of giving, contrary to l a w, costs to a class of landlords against a class of of ¢ defendant tenants, whom the law intended to exonerate. We understand that Mr. Brougham's health is in a precarious state. At Lancaster Assizes, after he had finished ad dressing the Jury (half-past eleven at night), though his speech was not a long one, he was so much exhausted that be was usable to walk to his lodgings, and wu taken in the Judge's carriage On the following morning, Lowever, he was so much better as to be able to leave Lancaster for York—Lads Istelligencer.

FATAL OCCURRENCE IN ESSEX. CORONER'S INQUZIT ON THZ BODY Of MALCOLM. VERDICT OP WILFUL MURDER RETURNED AGAINST CAPTAIN MOIR. In the STAR of Saturday, we detailed the fatal transaction shirts occurred a few days since near Horndon-on.the.ffill, Is &sex. We now give a report of the proceedings on the Coroner's homiest, which was held on the 20th, at the George Inn, at Stairiae.llope, on the body of Malcolm. Captain Moir wu brought in custody from Barking gaol, and remained in an adjoining room during the inquiry. W. Dukes said that himself, deceased, and his apprentice, left Hammersmith to fish, and reached Shelhaven Creek, where de. ceased laid his nets. Captain Moir, accompanied by his servant, came towards them with a knife in his hand and ordered deceased to take up the net. Deceased did so and made some observation; upon which the Captain said if he were any other man he'd give him a good thrashing. Malcolm threw off his jacket, and told him to do it if he could. More words passed, and Malcolm called the Captain a " Scotch Captain Moir said he should not go across his meadows again, but round by the sea walls. Malcolm replied, sneeringly, he did not mind a walk, and witness and de. ceased proceeded to Baker's colMge, and exchanged some fish for potatoes ; remained an hour and a half at Bakees, and then pro. ceedcd to their boat, near the Creek ; Malcolm was in advsnoe, car. rying a boat-hook woes his shoulder, and the potatoes; he per. ceived Captain Moir riding furiously towards them ; he alled out to deceased, " T thought I told you not to come across those meadows spin." Malcolm said, " I will go ;" upon which Capt. Moir redo round to him and pointing a pistol, immediately fired ; Malcolm dropped the lioat-hook, exclaiming, " Oh, Sir ! you have broken my arm, you have broken my arm I" Capt. Moir told witness if he did not take the basket sod stuff off his premises directly, he'd serve him the same; witness obeyed, and Captain Moir rode away, saying he would send a doctor; witness assisted Malcolm, who was bleeding dreadfully, to Baker's cottage, and as sisted him in staunching the blood ; deceased did not advance his beat-hook ins menacing attitude towards Captain Moir. Mr. Chubb proved that he was passing by the spot at the time the shot was fired. W. Raven, servant to Captaitt Moir, proved that be want with his master to warn off Malcolm, when deceased was very abusive, and called his muter "a Scotchman." The Captain told him if he did not get off his premises he would help him off, and the deceased then stripped to fight. The Captain told him be should not go across his fields ; and deceased said, " You are a great paunch-gutted —, or you would have fought me." Witness and the Captain left the creek, and in half an hour the Captain, having been informed that Malcolm was crossing the meadows, rode after him and fired at him. Mr. Dodd, a surgeon, at Stamford-le.hope, said he was sent for on Wednesday to attend deceased, and found him, at Baker's cot. tage, with his jacket and handkerchief wrapped round his arm, sa turated with blood; the ball had passed through the man's arm, and, as it was desirable he should be removed, he went to Cap tain Moir's house to borrow a horse and cart ; as sting witness the Captain said, " You see I've chalked out a job for you ;" and proceeded to relate the manner in which the circumstance oc curred ; he said on seeing the man setting his net in the creek, be desired him to go away ; he became very abusive ; and be therefore, made him go round by the sea-wall, and cau tioned him at his peril to come on his land again ; in half an.hour afterwards (said the Captain) I saw the man again crossing my field; I then got upon my horse and rode towards him, calling upon him to stop; the fellow would not, but kept advancing, and said you be cursed; I fired at him directly; the man called out you've broken my arm, and dropped his pole; I said I knew it, will you turn back now, because if you don't you shall have this other in your brains, and by -- if be had not turned back I would have shot him directly; 1 told the boy to take up the pole and basket and move off my premises, or I'd serve him the same way ; the boy did as he was bid. I they rode away, and sung ou " I'll send a doctor to you." Accordingly, I sent for you. My land is my castle, and nobody shall put a foot on it without my leave. Witness told Captain Moir his object in calin was twofold—first, to borrow a horse and cart, and next to see if he was sober. Well, Sir, said the Captain, what du you think of me ? Witness said be was as sober as witness was. I was not only sober, returned Captain Moir, but as cool as I am at this moment. Why, it was ballast hour after I quarrelled with the man before I went out to shoot him, and by I will do the same to.night, to-morrow, or any time when lam trespassed on. Witness men tioned the subject of expenses on the man's account, and Captain Moir said he would pay any ?amenable charge, but It must not be considered in the light of an atonement ; for be considered himself justified, and the man had got no more than he richly deserved. Ho was attended by two other medical gentlemen. He appeared to be going on favourably, but he died at last of lock jaw. The Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against Captain Moir, and be was committed to Chelmsford gaol. Saturday afternoon an inquest was held at the Turf Tap, Tattersall's-ymd, on the body of Mr. Thomas Payne, aged 65, who died in consequence of the Earl of Chichester's carriage having been driven over him in Hyde Park. Mr. Alley, the bar rister, attended on the pert of the fr iends of the deceased. A foot man of the Earl of Ch ci ter proved that he was on the coach-box with the Earl's coachman, in Hyde-park, on Friday. The Earl and Countess of Chichester were in the carriage. The deceased was driving in a gig before the carriage, and in passing it the carriageand gig became entangled; the deceased was thrown out, and a wheel of the carriage passed over his chest. The coachman was intoxi cated at the time, or lie might have pulled up and prevented the accident. The Earl of Chichester corroborated this evidence. The coachman had been but two days in his service. If ,he had been sober and attentive, the accident would not have happened. Mr. Smith, surgeon, of St. George's Hospital, stated that the deceased was brought there on Friday afternoon, and died that night; five of his ribs were broken, and his liver greatly lacerated, whicb caused his death. Witness told him his danger, and he made his will, which was witnessed by the Earl of Chichester and wit. ness. The deceased said, " The coachman behaved most ras. ally." Mr. George Cullen, partner of the deceased, stated that they carried on the business of fetch-importers. He visited the deceased before his death.
