We had always supposed that these Wens on the British Constitution had been for ever dune away with, and the memory of Wilks has been consecrated to futurity on account of the active share he had in their destruction—but we think they are now vir tually revived—Warrants have been recently granted tier the arrest of persons demribed as those " whose names are unknown," and parties have been arrested and ordered to find bail under such warrants. Now we know very well, that when Sir Rubel t Wilson was easheired, nut only without trial, Lut without even the crime he WAS charged with hieing made known to him, it was implied that the cruel, harsh, unjust, and unconstitutional measure had originated in depositions sworn against him—that he denied their truth—that he proved their falsehood, and yet, that on his application to Lord Sidmouth for copies of those depositions, for the purpose of indicting the the parties for perjury, his Lordship coolly replied ..--that he did not consider it his duty to comply with Sir Robert Wilson's demand.—Now to sup pos,2 a case—to lut the thing (as Lord Liverpool once said in the House of Lords, before he drew a demoniacal female character, and afterwards ap plied it to one, who is, no doubt, in Heaven, and perhaps interceding for her cold-blooded perse cutors in this world), to put it hypothetically, let us suppose that instead of the present administra tion, a future period should see us cursed with 0n.2, - S THE NATIONAL REGISTER whose members would sacrifice every thing to their inclination to rule Despotically—and instead of our present beneficent Monarch, let us suppoke their Master to be a man who preferred ruling by fear rather than love—who would rather applaud the bloody butchery of his subjects, than the concilia tion of his people—and to carry on our hypothesis, lettlte frank and amiable Lord Sidmonth be suc ceeded by a Man of little mind —one, who tho' fold of employing Spies, should be always a dupe to their artful and interested misrepresentations—one who would submit to be the abject tool of some tyrannical blood-thirsty Irishman, who, after having irretriev ably injured his own country, should come to a seat in the Cabinet to render ours a similar service— if we say, and we have high authority for putting it hypothetically, such total changes should take place, might not, according to the newly introduced system, some patriot opposer of power and violence be incar cerated us" a person unknown," and might nut jus. tice hereafter be denied against the tools of a bad Government, by the then Secretary of State for the Home Department, declaring that he did not " con sider it his duty to deliver up the depositions" by which his myrmidons might be brought to condign punishment. These are points worthy of medita tion—it is much easier to correct an innovation when it first is introduced, than to effectually com bat when-precedent may be pleaded in support of THE MOST Nade THE MARQUIS or QUEENS BERRY V. THE CARLISLE JOURNAL.—It Will be re collected by our readers that, in Nlarch last, the proprietors of the above journal were triad and con victed for a libel upon the character of this noble man. Three months' imprisonment in a gaol 300 miles front their tumults, city, and business, marked the sents of the Court upon the impropriety of their behaviour ; and considerable injury to their property, as well as the temporary loud of anxiety during their absence, were, of course, the conse quences. It appears, however, that there arc souse who think this punishment for stating things they were not permitted to prove was not sufficiently severe, but that a Cotilititieti attack should be made on their business and means of subsistence by threats of vengeance to all who took in their paper. The following letter will explain what we mean. We copy it without a rem. rk : " ANNAI4, Dec. 1821.

MILLIAMNON. " Mesartt. lorietteta, . . . Extract of a letter from a gentleman in the South of Ireland, dated Dec. 22, distur ounces in this country seem to be subsiding very much, and no doubt they will thr the present yield to force A special commission is no., sitting at Limerick, and eight criminais are under sentence of death, and tour have undergone that punishment, making 12 in all. This commission is adjourned to the 6th January, and it is thought there will then be, at leen, thirty more capitally convicted in Lime rick. They will inlet wards sit in Twice, Ennis, and Cork, so that you will perceive the vengeance of thy• law will be promptly visited upon those wretches who were administering a summary law of their own to those whom they narked tad fur vengeance. In the meantime the house of every gentleman in the country, who retains his arms, is converted into a garrison—upn the upper window-stones of each house are placed heavy I cis to let fall upon the nightly assailants-.-the trout and back windups of the ground fluor are also planked with heavy timber, and secured with iron-work. A man bethre he is let into a gentlen►an's house experiences the cau tious delays that are wont to prevail in gaols, while musketry, pistols, and ammunition are at hand to repel any attack. Every little village in this coun try has a party of soldiers, and, in addition, we have the Peelers. The roads at night are patrolled by these bodies, and many men have t hus been ar rested. I think Government bas dune every thing to repress these di,turbances (except the assembling of Parliament), and they are certainly subsiding. US COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. On Wednesday evening, after the performanne et Virginius, to which the character so clasically and inimitably performed by Mr. M'Cready gives name, - a new Pantomime was produced, called Harlequin and Mother Bunch ; or, the Yellow Dwarf.. There is a good deal of bustle in this Pantomime, and some good transformations and tricks. The scenery throughout is admirable, particularly the entrance • of the Palace of the Gold Mines, the Sandy Desert, the Castle of Polished Steel, the outside of West tninster Hall, and a view of Margate Pier. The principal characters in the Pantomime were ex ceedingly well supported, and the performers cheer filly underwent mach fatigue.—Grinadi. as the Yellow Thrall, afterwards Clown, was uncommonly humourous, and never appeared more heroic ;than when mounted on a great cat's back to go out u ) war against the King of the Gold Mines. Grimaldi Jun. us Capt. Guinea Pig, afterwards Harlequin's lacquay, evinced a good deal of the merriment, fin, and trick so essential to the art and mystery of a Clown. Mr. Barnes, as the Queen of Golconda, • 1 passed through the fiery ordeal with effect. and continued the ability in the subsequent charge into Pantaloon. The King of the Gold Mines, afterwards Harlequin, was sustained by Mr. Ellar: and Miss E. Dennett was the interesting reoresen tative of the Princess All Fair, then Columbine.— Master Longhurst personated Mother Bunch, the Desert Fairy. The first performance us is always the ease, was subjected to slight interruptions, from the huh! action of some of the machinery. We have, how ever, been since delighted by the improvement of the Pantomime, us well Ly judicious curtailment, as by the effect of practice in the tricks—and we have no doubt, but the efforts of our old and respected laughter-promoting Friend Joey, would again draw from the Lord High Chancellor, a repetition of the declaration we know he once made, after having itnessed his successful exertions—" One cann't help laughing at that Grimaldi.' Daunt-LANs THEATRE —We apprehend the frequenters of this Theatre will be but little satis fied, with the arbitraty determination of " The Pro prietor," who has so often appeared us a Vagabond King, that he seems determined now to be " A King indeed" and to declare without the most (Fs, tam idea of suceumbency to the wishes of those by wham lie must (if at all) be rescued time perfect beggary—his Royal will and pleasure that an En- • tertaininent, which hes been repeatedly damned to all intents and purposes, shall be peifinmed " Every Evening till further notice." Nay, not content with this, he sends into the Boxes, Pit, and Gal lery, hordes of the greatest blackguards he eau &el, Pugilists, Bow Street Banners, &e. &c who, it' our Bow Street report be correct, are directed to ap plaud the offensive piece vocit'erously, and to insult, and quiet by ally und every means however illegal, any Gentleman who may chose to exercise his undoubted right of expressing his disapprobation. We hope the Public will one and all unite, and punish this impudent attempt at dictation.—We have no doubt the Committee of Nianagement have the power to interfere, in consequence of Mr. E:- liston's recent defalcation, and we think they will do less than their duty, it' they have such power, should they quietly look on while a Man who is here to-day, but may be—God knows where to. morrow, shall be allowed to create a well grounded hatred towards the Th etre, intrusted pro tempo, r, to his unfortunate and uncunciliatory meoagewent. A clerk in the Admiralty, who was found to pos sess a very clear head fur arithmetical calculations, became some time ago so useful to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, through that talent, that he hmi been in the habit of receiving large sums snnualiy thr his assistance in preparing the accounts of the Treasury f o r the public eye. The Chancellor's pu ,rialage of this gelitleman is now abtout to take a wither range, and he will actually be transferred from the Admiralty to the Treasury, where a new office, which is to bear the title of " Comptitator," will Le created tiir him, with a very handsome salary attached to it. A successor will of course be at•- pointed to this gentleman at the Admitaity, so that the new office will be a clear atidnional charge oa the country. About 15 years ago, a male child, wrapped ia fine white linen, was laid down at the door of Dr. —, in Sunderland; the Doe.or, acittvetl by the purest feelings of humanity, had the li.tle taken care of, and has ever since chi.' :sited hint as his own. Within the !ast fortnight Dc. re. ceived a letter from an tither who, alts r declaring himself the father of the boy, amnion,: a the fact of his having settled 5.00 i:putt executed a deed of 6th,!. in favour of the 13114 . 1 r for the great care winch he had taken of his Boa. 4, tv ; Lai ~l
