MR. ROTHSCHILD'S GRIND FETE. Mr. ROTHSCHILD gave his promised Entertainment in Wednesday, in a style of surprising magnificence and taste, at his beautiful villa on Stamford-hill. The l'arty consisted of the Princes ESTERHAZY and their re,pective suites. The Prince of LEON was also guett. In the Grand Banqueting Room of this fine edifice (the style Tuscan), covers were laid for thirty two; at half-past seven, the company sat down to a dinner consisting .of turtle and other delicacies; the fruits were the produce of the hot-houses, but the wines, all from khe Rhine, excelled any yet imported; there were fifteen different sorts, all of German growth.— When the cloth was removed, golden avers and &l ions w-cre handed round with water. Among the noveltics, were many dishes dressed after the Jewish manner. At ten o'clock the Gentlemen got up from tab!e, and joined the Ladies in the Saloon; at eleven, the Drawing Room displayed a splendour of dress, in diamonds and embrot•lery, seldom equalled. The Princes ESTERHAZY and Loaas departed at twelve, and the company retired to a sumptuous supper. It was three in the morning before the party broke up. LIBERAL L44VDLORDS. Sir C. WOLSELEV, Bart. at his rent-day, on Mon day, returned to his tenants from ten to fifteen per cent..with a promise that a further reduction to the same =cunt should be made at the next rent day, vihith will make a reduction of film twenty to thirty per cent. Sir G. BEAUMONT has reduced the rents of his Lei- cestershire tenantry twenty per cent. and the Rector of the Parish has i educed the commutation for tythes l , in the same proportion. Earl Mariveas, at the late rent-day at Hagworthingham, reduced the rents of his Lincolnshire tenants twenty per cent.—and Dr. WILLIS, at his rent-day, held on the Bth ult. for the payment of the rent due last Michaelmas, returned fifteen per cent. to his tenants, who, it is worthy of , remark, were previously low rented. The Rev. F. BOOTH, Vicar of Friskney, at his last 'half-year's audit, made a reduction of ten per cent. to his tithe-holders. The Rev. R. CHOLMELEY has returned to the oc cupiers in the parish of Wainfieet All Saints, ten per cent. on his tithes and rent. The Rev. Mr. Piens, Vicar of Preston and Sutton,' Dorset, has lowered his tithes twenty per cent. JAMES MANS, Esq. on his rent-day, at Eccleshall, Staffordshire, on Friday, the 29th ult. returned to his tenants in that parish, 20 per cent. That liberal return was nut confined to his yearly tenants, but was equally extended to those who have leases. Sir U. BURGH, bas made an abatement of SO per cent. to his tenants, and has allowed them this ad vantage since the year 1813. In addition to Sir THOMAS CLIFFORD and other Staffordshire gentlemen, we have the pleasure of stating, that the Marquis of STAFFORD has directed his Steward, at Trentham-hall, to inform his nume rents tenants, that at the ensuing rent-day they will have a return of 20 per cent. upon their half-year's rent. Two other Noblemen, of very extensive estates in that neighboulhood, have also intimated their in tentions of lowering their rents. S. JERVIS, Esq. of Darlston, returned 15 per cent. J. C. WHATELY, Esq. has lowered his land, near Walsall, 5O per cent. Mrs. WATSON TAYLOR'S Rout, yesterday evening, in Cavendish-square, was both numerously and ele gantly attended. Yesterday, the Duke o f W ELLINGTON, Vi scount PALMERSTON, Sir CHARLES LONG, Mr. HUSKISSON, Td other official Gentlemen, assembled at the CUAN. Cruoft of the EiCHEIarER'S holt*. The object of the assembly was to make arrangements for the te auction of expenses in their different departments. Letters from Stockholm, dated the 2611 ult. state,' that the claims of the English Merchants, for the sei ware of goods about two years ago, at Bodoe, in Nor way, have been adjusted by the payment of £2,500, and the remission of Duties to the amount of El 5,000 'note, on merchandize to imported into Norway Within a limited period. THEATRES. BINSs Timins.--The celebrated Mademoiselle FANNY BIAS, jointly with Mons. Comm, had a be nefit last night at this Theatre, which was well at tended. A new Pas de Qua Ire composed by M. AL BERT, and danced by himself, ! JOBLET, FANNY BIAS,. and Comm, forthed the attraction of the Divertise ment. The Opera was of the first class—Don Gio vanni; and a light, though elegant Ballet, called Les Noces de Flore et Zephir, concluded the evening. Much applause was bestowed on all the performers. DRURY-LANILCOLMAM'S petit Farce of Blue Devils was last night performed at this Theatre; when Mr. ELLISTON appeared for the first time since his recent indisposition, in the character of Meagrim. He was extremely well received on his entree. The Farce was followed by Mr. DIBDIN'S Romance of The Heart of Mid Lothian, which was ?erformed, by per mission, for the first time at this Theatre, to afford an opportunity for Mr. Mac Kay to appear before a London audience in the character of the Laird of Dumbiedikes. Previous to the rising of the curtain, Mr. RUSSELL came forward to offer an apology for Mrs. EGERTON, who was announced in the bills for the character of Madge Wildfire. She had, he said, come down to the Theatre, though extremely ill, and was anxious to perform her duty to the Public, and he confidently anticipated she would experience the usual kindness and indulgence of the audience. This address was received with loud applause. The cur tain rose, but on Mrs. EGERTON ' s entrance she was unable to utter a sentence so loud as to be heard be yond the orchestra. The audience perceiving her distress, there was a general call for some one to read the part. Mrs. EGERTON curtsied and retired, and the curtain di opt. After a considerable time had elapsed, Mr. Russet.t. again appeared and stated that in the midst of their difficulty, Mrs. VINING, of Covent-Garden Theatre, accidentally entered the Hall, and had, on hearing their embarrassment, kindly undertaken the part, which she had played in the country—(Applause). The curtain again rose; and though at first Mrs. VINING felt embarrassed by her situation, she soon recovered herself, and went through the character with a considerable degree of spirit and success. Mr. MACKAY was Dumbiedikes at all points, even to the awkward step and uupur posed look of the idiot Laird. Ilis slovenly passion for Jenny Deans, his lingering benevolence, the latent heat of character, perpetually extinguished by dul ness of habit and circumstances, were admirably ex pressed. A considerable number of Scottish Gentle men were in the House, and they seemed to enjoy the pottraiture in the highest degree. Mr. ISlacitafs Benefit, which we see announced for next week, will give them an opportunity of more decisive encou ragement.—Mrs. BROOKS (late of the Surrey Theatre) appeared for the first time on these boards in her ori ginal character of Margery Murdockson. In this character she stands without a rival. Her reception was most favourable. Madame VESTRIS was an in teresting liffie Deans: she introduced two songs, set to the popular airs of Scots wha hoe wi' Wallace bled and The Blue Belts of Scotland, which were executed in her usual charming style, and were rapturously applaudeJ. Mrs. °stoves Jenny was also entitled to praise; and the other characters bore their share of the Performance blamelessly. CovaNT-GARDEN.—The Play of Henry the Fourth was performed last night. The house was crowded to excess at the i ising of the curtain. The Play was performed with its usual excellence. The Coronation scenes, which were viewed with rapturous delight, concluded with the national Anthem, GOD save the King, which was sung by the whole vocal strength of the house. The Farce of The Poor Soldier fol lowed, in which Miss BEAUMONT sustained the cha-, racter of Patrick, and received much applause. The Benefit of that deservedly respected veteran, whose polite attentions are universally acknowledged by. the frequenters of the Theatre, Mr. Brim:Do:4, is announced for this evening, with the most marked approbation of .the brilliant circle. His interesting daughters will make their first appearance in public on this occasion. HAYMARKET THEATRE.—..The amusing Comedy of Rule a Wile and have a Wife was yesterday even ing performed in a very effective style.—The FArce of A Roland for an Oliver followed, and was to the full as fortunate as the Play. WILLI/on and DE CAMP, as Sir Mark Mass and Highjlyer, kept the House in a roar; and HAMMOND, in Fixture, played the jealous rustic with infinite spirit. Mrs. BAKER was a very good Maria. In fine, the whole cast was such as materially to raise the credit of the company ; and the entertainments of the evening arrived at their conclusion amidst bursts of laughter. ENGLISH OPEEA-Housis.—The Pieces performed , at this Theatre last night were, Amateurs and Actors, Love's Dream, and Is heJealoust in the first and last of these Pieces, Miss KELLY'S exquisite acting forms ,the chief attraction; and of whom, as of FENELON, it may be said, that she imitates no one, and is herself inimitable! The other characters were well supported, and the House had to boast of a numerous audience. SADLER'S WELLS.—THE Quzax.—Last right, her MAJESTY honoured this Theatre with her presence, and experienced, as on all former occasions when she has appeared in public, the hearty congratulations of the people. Her MAJESTY'S intention having been generally known, a vast concourse of people of both sexes assembled at an early hour in the neighbour hood of the Theatre. Her MAJESTY arrived precisely at half-past six o'clock, attended by Lord and Lady HOOD and Mr. Alderman WooD., Mr. EGERTON and Mr. PHILLIPS had the honour of attending her MAJESTY to the box prepared for her reception. It was the box next the stage to the left of the audience, and was elegantly fitted up for the occasion. On her MAJESTY'S entering the Theatre, which was crowded to excess, there was one universal burst of approba tion, which lasted for several minutes. When the ap plause had partially subsided, the entire corps dra matigne came forward and sung the national Anthem, the performers, as well as the audience, singing at the end of every verse, GOD save the Queen. The en tertainments of the evening, The Mountain Hut, and Harlequin at Home, do not call for any particular notice, as they must be well known to the Public, at least to that portion of it in the habit of visiting that very attractive place qf amusement ; at the close of the latter, which consisted principally of a variety of pantomimic tricks, for the entertainment of the lovers of laughter, her MAJESTY rose to retire. The per formers again came forward, and repeated Conserve the Queen, while her MAJESTY continued standing. The song was encored, and at one period the female vo calists sung with peculiar emphasis fat the same time bowing most gracefully to her M AJESTY): " Long may she reign!" which called forth thunders of ap plause. Her MAJESTY then bowed to the audience, and retired to her carriage, which was drawn up in the spacious garden at the back of the Theatre.— Her MAausTv drove off; followed by the loud acclamations of the assembled multitudes. We have great satisfaction in stating, that there was not a . single discordant voi c e t o inte rr upt the harmony of the evening. Her MAJESTY was received with the warm, unbought, and heartfelt approbation, of a ge nerous people.—The bells of Clerkenwell church struck up a merry peal a few minutes previous to her MAJESTY'S arrival at the Theatre, and continued ringing till the performances were nearly ended. In deed, the whole neighbourhood seemed enlivened by her MAJESTY'S visit. The outside of the Theatre was tastefully illuminated, as was also the gardens of that ancient edifice, the Sir Hugh Middleton, adjoining. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held for the dispatch of a variety of important business. It was numerously attended. Sir RICHARD CARR GLYN presided, as locum teitens for the Lord Mayor, whose indisposition continues with increased severity. Mr. Etym.'. presented a Report from the General Expenses Committee; it stated that they had over drawn the Chamber I:10,000, and now had to borrow £5OOO on bonds. Mr. Dam recommended economy and retrench ment in every department. He said, that to forward this their real situation ought to be made known.' They aught not to do that as a body which would be indiscreet or imprudent in an individual ; they ought not, as they had done, to continue engaging in expensive jobs and speculations, until their debts were reduced. It was lamentable to see that they were every day sinking deepee, and contracting debts of no trifling magnitude. ADMISSION OUJRMISU CONVERTS TO THY IREEDOM OF THE CITY. The Report of the Committee of General Purposes, to whom was referred the Petition of Abraham Saul, who had been of Jewish parents, but who had since been baptized in the Christian religion. The Peti tioner had established a butcher's shop in the City, and had taken out his freedom, or at least paid the fine for that purpose to the Chamberlain, and bad been admitted into the Butchers' Company, but was refused admission to the Freedom by the Court of Aldermen on account of some bye-law which it was considered was against his claim to admission.— Actions were brought , against him in the Lord Mayor's Court for carrying on a retail trade in the City without having taken up his freedom. He re moved the proceedings into the Court of Ring's, Bench, who refused to interfere with the corporate privileges of the City of London. He ultimately ap plied, by Petition, to the Court of Common Council, who referred the Petition to the Committee, who now reported upon it. The Report stated that the Com mittee had examined the allegations of the Petitioner, and were unanimously of opinion that he was entitled to the freedom. After a discussion of some length, it was resolved that a re-consideration of the case of the Petitioner should be recommended to the Court of Aldermen. CORONATION. Mr. Ocnriabi.called the attention of the Court to the appointment which had been made of the Mas ters of the twelve Companies of the Livery to assist at the ceremony of the Coronation. Now, he con tended, that the twelve Citizens who were entitled to assist at the Coronation ought to be chosen from this Court, as there was no claim on the part of the Masters, who were not necessarily Citizens of Lon don, and in point of fact some of them were not. He was quite satisfied that the choice ought to be made , from that Court, and under the circumstances the Lord Mayor ought to be looked to, to make that choice from amongst them. lie concluded by moving that it should be referred to the Committee for Ge neral Purposes, to examine whether the appointment of the Masters of the twelve Companies was founded on any right, and if not, whether the choice ought not to be made from that Court.—Motion agreed to. RIGHT OR NON-FREEMEN TO CARRY ON WHOLESALE TRADE IN THE CITY. The Report of the Committee of General Purposes, to whom it was referred to consider how far whole sale dealers were entitled to carry on business in the City without taking up their freedom, was brought up and read. It stated that the Committee had availed themselves of the assistance of the Common Serjeant, the City Solicitor, the Town Clerk, and of George Norton, Esq. one of the City Pleaders ; that these four Gentlemen had examined the Charters, the City records, and a multitude of documents, and had ascertained that by one of their ancient bye-laws it was enactad, that if any stranger dealt with another stranger in the City, the goods were forfeited; but that the bye-law had been in disuse in consequence of the difference in the mode of dealing, which, at the time of the enactment, was chiefly in open mar kets ; but they considered it as still applicable to all cases of non-freemen dealing with non-freemen. The Report stated that the Committee fully agreed with the Learned Gentlemen in their view of the case, and that they had derived considerable information from a publication by one of the Learned Gentlemen on the subject. A MEMBER moved, that as the question was one of the greatest moment to the Citizens in general, that the consideration of it should be postponed, in order that the Members might have an opportunity to prepare themselves fully on the subject. For this purpose he moved that the Report should be printed, that copies of the by-law alluded to should be provided for the Members, and that the consideration of the Report should be postponed. Mr. Sheriff WAITHMAN expressed a hope that every Member would take care to come prepared to meet this question in all its bearings, and to obtain every information on the subject, which he agreed was one of the mo,t momentous nature. lie would suggest it for their consideration whether, in com pelling all traders who were non. freemen to take up their freedom, they would not driv., numbers of wholesale dealers out of the City? For him•elf, hs was unprepared to offer any opinions upon the mat ter, and he ita.l no doubt but this was the case with balers of the Membeist therehoe he gave his sup port to the motion.—The mozion was then agreed to unanimomly. LIPENAES OF THE SHIM:VA LTV AND CIVIC DINNER& Mr. Dtxos brought tip a Report from the Gaol Expenses Committee, to shorn it was referred, to consider whether Aldermen Bridges and Bothwell ought to be reimbursed for the exf.enses they were put to, in consequence of the refusal of Sheriff Par kins to hear any part of the expenses incurred during the late Mayoralty and Shtievalty, in giving the cus tomary civic dinners. The Report stated, • that the Committee were of opinion that they ought to be reimbursed, and recommended the payment of £1432 Wt.. 6d. the amount of the extra expenses in curred by the two worthy Aldermen, in consequence of the refusal of Sheriff Parkins to bear any part.— Mr. Dixon, in moving that the Report of. the Com mittee should be agreed to, said, that it was but due in justice to make this reparation to the two worthy Aldermen, for having manfully stepped forward to preserve the office from degradation, which they had done under the impression that the Court would bear them harmless. It was not, however, intended to lose sight of the possibility of Sheriff Parkins being compelled to pay his share.—The Report was agreed to unanimously. ACCOMMODATION TO RiPORTERS. Mr. OLDHAM moved, that it should be referred to the Committee of General Purposes to consider what further accommodation could be made for the -entle men who attend that Court to report its proceedings. In making that accommodation, they would only imitate the example set them by a very superior Court, in affording conveniencies to those who had the arduous duty of reporting its proceedings. Mr. Hustcostisa _said, there could be no difficulty in the matter, as only a few seats were wanted, and he would move that it should be referred to the Com mittee to provide seats in such part of the Court as should be found convenient. Mr. 1. N. WILLIAMS hoped : that it would only be referred to the Committee to report on the measure, whether expedient or not. Mr. DixoN said, he would oppose the motion. Mr. A'derman WAITHMAN supported the motion. After some further observations from Mr. HIM. comic, the motion was put and carried, there being but two dissentient votes. The LORD MAyott, we are sorry to state, continues in so impaired a state of health, that his medical at tendants have recommended to him to sleep out of town every night. The Governors of Bridewell Hospital gave orders a short time since, to all the persons occupying the houses on the north side of the building, to quit, with a view of enlarging the prison, for the purpose of the classification of the prisoners, and other internal im provements. A corn-mill is to be erected, and no more oakum is to be picked ; the occupation not being considered laborious enough. The workmen have already began to pull down part of the houses. Yesterday morning, between five and six o'clock, Janes Wear* (the drummer), and the other four soldiers, against whom the Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder 'on the late William Cogle, who was unfortunately killed during the riot at the Alnooary, in Westminster, on the 18th of June last, were removed under an escort of the Police from TothiU-fields prison to Newgate, preparatory to taking their trials at the Old Barey Sessions, which commence on Wednesday nest. The Grand Jury, it the Westminster Sessions, this morning, found a true Bill for Murder against the whole five, viz. James APCarthy, Richard Roebottorn, William Hardy, Thomas Lee, and Jame* Jou& By the death of the Rev. Sir CHARLES WHicLaR, Ban. of Leamington Hastings, in Warwickshire, one of the Prebendaries of York Cathedral becomes vacant. The weight of sovereigns and half-sovereigns sent by the Bank of England to Manchester, was nearly four tons, for the purpose of exchanging gold for paper: this being effected on Saturday last, to the amount of 1:419,600, the office was closed. CABINET PICTURES.--A good chance of obtaining a truly elegant Collection, particularly suited for fur nishing a Drawing-room, now occurs, by purchasing a Ticket or two in TOLIKINS'S PICTURE LOTTERY, Nos. 53 and 54, New Bond -street, which comprises many very valuable Paintings and Grand Works of Art.
