His Majesty has visited both of the Theatres, and one of the worst of Tory papers says, with perfect non-eludance, " We understand that it is his Ma jesty's intention to gratify his subjects by appearing frequently among them"—if so, " Farewell, a long farewell, to all their greatness"—The Tory news papers, and their infamous supporters, may truly exclaim, " Othello's occupation's gone" the moment the King allows himself to have a personal know ledge of those who hare been malignantly misrepre sented to him. The great Peter of Russia, whose many eccentricities found a full excuse in the fact that they originated in a desire to serve those he was destined to govern, used frequently to go out entirely unattended and in disguise—in one of these nocturnal perambulations he became the inmate for the nighty of a cottage, where, in the course of the evening . ; in con‘ersalion wiJi his host, STOCKS. °minim. 0.

THE NATIONAL REGISTER he touched upon politics—the cottager enlarged upon the distrosies and oppressions of his country, and concluded by paying a just tribute to the goodness of his Monarch, while he loaded with execrations the ear-wig-Ministers who poisoned his mind and prejudiced him iq, , ainst his subjects, the better to fulfil their iniquitous views. Early on the morrow his suite surrounded the cottage, and to the astonishment of his trembling host claimed their Monarch—the Czar looking upon them with con tempt, exclaimed, " Behold this worthy man—he, during the last evening, told me that truth, to the concealment of which your lives have been devoted." So much for history—and if England possess a Monarch at least us goXl as the patriotic Emperor, is he not surrounded by courtiers equally mischievous —equally misrepresenting his subjects—and for what? why, to enable thew, by creating distrust of their loyalty, to make him suppose that the reign of terror only is fitted for a people who, in point of fact, venerate their Sovereign inherently—whose first essay at any thing like harmonic power is uni formly "God save the King"—who can and would protect their King at the risk of life, fortune, and every thing that is dear to them, while they would run the same hazard to vent their feelings on the Ministers who have abused him, libelled the pen ile, placed in abbeyance the Constitution, over whelmed the nation with distress, and can coolly look on while they enjoy the wicked fruits of their labours—but "it is his Majesty's intention to gra tify his subjects by frequently appearing among them," and the distorted view he has received of their feelings will be removed—he will find that the natural attachment of Englishmen to the blead of the Executive Government is undiminished, in despite of all the attempts to decrease it which his Ministers have made, by shomelessly dragging forth the Royal name in excuse Lir their delinquencies.— It is now currently reported that on the delicate subject which has recently so seriously agitated the public mind, his Majesty is wiiiing to cede to the wishes of his subjects, by replacing her M ijesty's name to the Liturgy, but that Ministers oppose it— and shall it be borne that fifteen creatures like them shall oppose themselves to the will of nearly as many millions—that they shall, to keep their places, keep up a strife between the government and the people, that proffers an alternative of despotism or revolution. Every division in that House which ought to express the voice and wishes of the people proclaims aloud the necessity of Reform—that on the motion of the Marquis of Tavistock was triumphantly op posed to every expression contained in the loads of petitions which, subscribed with the names of all that comprise the honour, honesty, and respectability of the United Kingdoms, have, night after night, almost hidden the SpeAer from the view of the Memb'ess—and can such a system last ?—can such quackeries be much longer tolerated—is the col lected wish and demand of the worth of England to be derided by the finger of Lord Castlereagh point ing to the gh» ious majority—a majority, the means of returning which have been too often shewn to require notice now. In our proceedings of the Court of King's Bench will he found the particulars of the ceremony of passing sentence upon Sir Francis Burdett. The Court could not avoid a sentence with a verdict of a Jury staring them in the lam , while they retimed to disturb that verdict—but we hesitate not to de clare our opinion, that had the Court hero constituted as it ought to have been—had Mr. Jittice fly occupied the Cim:r seat in that Court, to t% hull his seniority in the Court, his ability, and his humanity, equally joined to entitle him, the sentence would have been a fine of six shillings and eight-pence, and an immediate discharge. However, constituted as the Court is, we really rejoice in t h e saitence as it is—the fine Ovlach ‘%.:. be Lv oubecription 45 among his applauding fellow-citizens) would be nothing to the honourable and worthy Baronet, if it came out of his own pocket; and as to the impri. sonment for three months, we cannot but felicitate • ourselves, and congratulate the true friends of our country that the Court has been 'so far influenced by popular feeling as to make his absence from its ser vice of so short a duration—we repeat, however, our conviction, that, with the FATHRR of the Court, dissenting on the point of the legality of the trial, THE HONOURABLE BARONET OUGHT NOT TO HAVE VEEN IBROUUIIT UP FOR JUDGMENT AT ALL. HIS MAJESTI'S VISIT TO BOTH THEATRES. Ott Tuesday night his Nfajesty attended Drury Lane Theatre, and was most rapturously received. On Wed nesday night, in consequence of public notice having been given of his Nlajesty s intention to honour Covent. irden Theatie with a visit, the doors were surrounded at an Carly hour by numerous crowds of persons allXloll2/ to secure a scat. the doors were opened at six o'clock, hi jog hall an hour earlier than is usual. This prialetic arraa,temeitt was highly commendable, as it gate time to ;he audience to s. tile before the arrival of his M.ijesty, and prevent ed touch of the confusion which took place at the other theatre, where but few lamilies had an op portunity of gaining their seats to be present at the entrance of his 11 oesty. The tostant the doors were opened a violent rush took plrice, and in little more than two minutes the pit, gal 1, ries. and ti:o•e boxes that had not been taken, were completely filled. 'rhe dress and private boxes filled more leisurely, but in a short time they were tilled by as numerous and elegant an assemblage of ladies as ever graced a theatre. The heat was so excessive that many, females, and even men, faitited away in the pit and gala leries. The humane exertions of many gentlemen in in the lower tier of boxes, in taking up I....tnaJes and men, who bad fainted away, from the pit, were particularly const.icuoils. Ai s. ten o'cleck his Majesty, with his suite, entered, syben the enthusiasm wlth which he was received by, the audience, was beyond description. The curtain dray up, and the entire company of the theatre canto for W arti and sting " God !hat we King," in which a. great p of the audivoce joined chorus. At the end • of cacti >tanaa the audience cheered, and such was this • - eittiiiisiaAti hat pervaded the audience, that the anthem .vas encored, amid it was some • . berure the tumult of ppkt .15; 1 SlllO II led. His 'Majesty was dressed itr-a Freld Marshalls•uniform, with' a smati s:ar.

Soon after the judgment of the Court of King's Bench was pronounced on Thursday upon Sic Francis Burdett, several gentlemen, the most dis tinguished among the ranks of the opposition its Parliament. waited upon the worthy Baronet, aid requested his permission that a subscr►ption should be proposed to the public fur the purpose thereby of raising the sum of •10001. to pay the hoe imposed upon him. Time request was accompanied by an assurance that the acquiescence of Sir Francis would be esteemed its a favour by his political friends, who, considering the princely tin•tuue and munificence of the worthy Baronet. could, in proposing such a measure, have no other u:tject in view than tO :ob tain the means of expressing their concurrence in the fiteliti A s that prompted hint to write the letter which his brought upon him the tuniiendly notice of the ministers. Sir Francis Burdett expressed his gra titude fa. the proposition, but requested that time may be allowed bins to consider the propriety of accepting their offer. Bills of indietinctit were returned as " True Bills," by the Westminster Grand Jury, on Friday last, against the F..iitors of The Morning Post and The Cogrier, tor scandalous libels on the Queen. A report was prevalent on Tuesday, which tio many reasons we tear is not true—it was, that his Majesty had determined to exercise his prerogative by granting a free pardon to the worthy member for Westminster. Such an act would create an envi able Populartiy, and would meet the applause dal hit Majesty's Moot,.
