ENGLISH OPRRA-BOUSE. After satellites the Drury-lane Committee as Mr. Aixot-o has den►, it is Marvel for the people to believe that this Theatre is almost exclusively ender his own maeagement. A piece, entitled Self Sacri fice, was premiered here last night, which, takes together (for it consisted of ►stretns, of tragic horror sad unbridled comedy), formed one of the coarsest aggressions eve► perpetrated naiad common sense and good taste. The meelo.draese commences with the soothing incident of slaying a cttild; the motive fur it being perfectly Indefinite by eny rale of die. vatic propriety, and the alleged reason being among the most wretched ever yet assigned at the Anises for committing murder. Miss KELLY witeesses this operation from a hidden station; but, aeforionately, It Is bar sepposed father who duet it, and, still more lamentable, it is her Inver's child who is killed.— The Reader mast now see his way clearly enough to the end. Of course there is much 'helically in scrim ing her father, and yet her lover (who believes her to be the mord•rer, and loves her still!) ought to be assured of her Innocence, but still cannot be rarely trotted with the secret. The Reader may be sere that there is a real father in waiting, who in dee time ar rives from his travelo, and furnishes the opportanity of esplaining to the imminent risk of the first men tioned botcher, who spin, 6 ' as naturally as remotest§ this some eclairtisseinefti, and puts the Lady through the usual evolutions of danger and die tress, in foaming ricers and hollow , till the pistol, that delicate improvement of modern tragedy, cuts the threvd of bit unworthy life, and sets all f ight, except the throat of the before mentioned in. fant. The lawless mirth of jolly beggars is most her wiesiouly mingled with shrieks of horror, the seise of rein and thunder, the display of gory dagg►rs, the crash rf the hanging bridge, and the falling the tree that grows so conveniently by ifs side; these are again modulated by songs of amorous sentiment, ex pressed wills somewhat less fire and beauty than Pt tr oast used. We no wade no farther ; If the Reeder be still carious. let him go and hat for hicatelf,and he will be satisfied. COVENT GARDEN. The Doke sod Deans of Karr were present et this Theatre last night, and were saluted with the national anthem of God Save the Kist. The Play was Hamlet, and the Alter-piece a strange indesvib able farrago, falsely called Mother Goose, bat in fact srarcel) bearing any resemblange to that justly popular rantornierie. A Theatre so liberally patron ized as this is by the Public should, from a sense of !wooer, disdain to fill its beaches by deluding the. readers of its placards with the promise of an rotor tehment which is not to be performed.

CHURCH PRP:FERMENT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE. STATESMAN. Stn,—As year escellent Paper is read by many IA wyers and Civilises, i n ish some of them to renege my doubti on a point of great interest to the Cleri cal ‘Vorld. It is remoored that an elderly Imes bent of a valuable living has applied In his Dior:tun, who is also advanced in years, to allow him to resign • it in f of his nephew, who is a vary young man. Under what terms this resignation is to take place Is not known, hut it is strongly surmised, that the par. tin have a treble object In view: first, to get rid of an Ogfeerweist for tithes with the Parishioners ; second ly, to enable the present Incembent, from his great inguence, to get another valuable Living ; and thirdly, that he may secure, for his life, an anneal participa tion in his nephew's income ? Now, sir, as this transaction mast operate to the injury and disadvantage of the Bishop's successor, by depriving him of an early chance to present to this saleable preferment, I wish to know whether it is legal for the present Bishop to accept a voluntary resignation of chi! nature; I mean even without re ference to the actual circisenstaaces of Air case, which are very suspicious, and. if tree, highly atmensicsi ; for, if it is illegal. 1 take it for granted, that the Bishop's successor may avoid this Living, and pre sent another person to it, on the ground of fraud against the rights of the See. Your insertiuu of this letter will oblige many of your Readers. Carlm.f. rd, July 16. 1519. FTSCHE. NAVAL INTELLIGICNCE.

It is well known that there is not a more peaceable and loyal body of People is the United kingdom than the Wesleyan Methedists are, whether in or out of the army. On Wednesday se'nuight, some p►rsons passing the old town of Stableten, about ten miles from Annan, were surprised on bearing the bellowing of a row, seesiagly in the air, end, on looking up, perceived one very near the top of that robins, edifice. Assistance was prucurdl, and with great daintily elm was res cued from bar perilous situation ; but what is moat remarkable is them f her ascent, being up an old winding stair shout 40 feet high, and in places many of the steps are wanting, which makes it difficult fair even a man to ascend. How long the animal had remained there if 0000.91910. Tuesday night last Hamilton Jail was broken, and three young men, lodged on a criminal warrant, made their escape. They bad effected their purpose by means of a large Iran lever, four feet long, and a pick or some othe► instrument, which bad been given these from the outside. After getting into the Council. room, and regaling themselves with wine, they de scended from the window, and got off unnoticed. On Friday se`nnight, two dnnkeys were found in Joiner's W.ted, Kent, helnnging to Sir J. Flogs, adjoining Chi.let Park, tied with chaise.reins in the shrubs, rompleiely starved to death, having devoured ever) edible sentence within reach. It is sapplived they wet, stolen, and tied there by some villain or villains, who have been since apprehended, and bare consequently left the wretched animals to mist the. miserably. ORANGA C'itIIIS: We he,. received several communications eh the subject of the riot occasioned by the silly, (remota floes, end we were shoot to say idolatrises, proces sion which disgraced the tawniest Monday last. We revel very mach that the Utter signed I'lll.°n/quit did not reach es in time for oar present publication. The subject most, however, be ',gamed in err sleet, as we foci confident that the good sense and liberality of oar towasmen will never coluten•ace the establishment of secret, intolerant, and Weirs: ',Deis shich, ender the pretences of supetior loyalty end semi for the erehli•hment of the l'roteat•ot reli gion, are only calculated tom man •pins, man. ecd infests into society a system of distrust and heart betnieg, die fatal effects of which hose been most deplorably illustrated in Ireland. When we say these Orange Associations ere illegal corehinatines, ee du not speak from light authority : they have been so denounced from the Beech, and in the Senste ; nor has it ever been satisfactorily diirprove,l, that the members are bound together by ►ecret oell.s. Some 'errs ago, an attempt was made in Msutbeste►, then the focus of intolerance, to estehlish these kind of professions en the itth of Jet, c • most sennas and bloody riot was the conwrqueoce, and we endersland that the attempt was abandoned. it is said, dist the procession of last Monday was attended by several Manchester m►n; end that the greater part of the 'spent, of the pas aphernalia art borne by some hem) -Wieder* from test quarter. What tin he the., lobject, end from whence their fu..Js have been re volted on thisoccesion, we (annuls an !Mile, al•hnog.. cornmeal romper is much le.s scrupolouss.it our Readers required say evidence of she intol-ra.sce, as well as the ignorance, of acme of the par•y, we need only state the fact that, scorn after the riot of Monday last, one fellow with an wane., ribs., I caved at ou r office, and only finding a boy within, rolled for a number of the Liverpool Mercury; end, after paying for it, he taro it in pieces, and throwing it to the! ground, trampled upon it, exclaiming: " There, • that's the way you shall b• sers•d !" And dnes the I blockkeed suppose we shall he deterred from the dia. I charge of our public duty, by the threats of a belly ? Another of the body, in the neighbous hood of one of the home where they dined, made some attempts also to fasten a quartet upon es, in conameence, as be. was pleased to say, of the share we bed had in the riot, which was simply this: about a fortnight ago, we received a letter from a Correspondent, who sidled that be had overheard some of the Irishmen in this town say : " Only let the Orange party walk oo the 14th, and they *imitate shot we will do." This • warning, the importance of which has been illustrated, appeared to es of mooch cunceyeenee, that we should have been guilty of an mbandouesent of our defy, had we net published it ; as we deprecate and lament out li - rage as witch es we deplore intolerance. As for the', °tinge-lodges, we knew nothing of their esistence in Oil town, esce p t by vague (moor, until they Anse to intrude their mummery in the open street'. They sly, they had a right to walk ; and se one will deny it. A man has a light, if he please', to walk through a field wisere a boll may be peaceably em its', and he may, if be pleases, point his finger at alkoboaa4; key he does •ilde at hie peril; and if be .svaistoilly rouses the animal to attack him; many per sons will think be is very properly J, for not keeping out of harm's way. We cannot conclude these hasty remarks, "wisest cautioning oar Catholic brethre agaiast suffesing themselrea to be irritated to mess by inch silly mummery. By resetting it in the way they did last Monday, they are injuring their cause; and we can misers them, we heard many persons say, " ion see what the felloWs would do if they had their emancipation." Fu► our own parts, we ate convinced that intolerance begets into. titmice, and that one of the best effects of what is termed Catholic Emancipation would be to her infinite the discordant members of the community, and to pet a stop to the lamentable distinctioul of Orangemen, Itibbonmen, Thrashers, &c. &c.—To conclude : we virally disapprove of the conduct cf the Orangemen, in attempting their silly pageant ; and that of the other party, who interrupted and rooted them ; and to she latter (for the former we consider incorrigible) we relate the following aneca dote, which 'plume, to us precisely in point :—Some years age, a facetious barber in lo.orine, had the fol. losing inscription placed conspicuously over his door : " Shaving for the Scinieh Multitude." This being noticed at head•querters, the operator was seta fur by some of the agents of Goverment, and inflater,. ed that his iirwriplion being of an inflammatory us tore, it was especi•d be would order ito be taken down. The man told them flatly that he would do no such thing; that he knee they had no right to remove it, es he had taken Counsel's opinion on the subject. " And pray, chat did the Counsel say ?" envired one of these Government-agents. " Why," replied the barber, " he raid I was a great block. hood to pet opsech a sign, bat you were much greeter blockheads to take any notice of it."—(Liverpool Alereery According to an Act passed the thi inst. for amend. log the laws respec►ing the Settlement of the Poor, no person ran acqnire a settlement unless by renting a home or hind of the stinntl valve of ten pounds, and bona fide hired by tech person, and the rent se. wally pout by him fur a year. SINSVIAR Occueetricc.--This season, e pair of swallows built their nest inside of the porter's ledge at the Mak:lsis of Lothian's gate, Newbatile Abbey. The lodge, which is a single room, 16 or 18 fret moans is possessed by the porter and Mr wife: on the beck wall, opposite the door, hangs a shell clothes scree* of two testes, on the top rail of which (oboe three or foot inch's from the ceiling) the swallows began to build their nest, regllarly entering by the door, end fearlessly lying across tht room.— At the end of three weeks, having fihishettheir archi• tecterellebners, five eggs were obrerMed in the nest, end, slier 14 days' incubation, young ones made their appearance, whirls are now 4O days old, and are ire. gs►ntly seen giving round the cup of the nrit. The parents feed them, alternately, shoot every five mi. netts, quite heedless, apparently, el what is going on in the how, which is often, it will readily be sup. posed, thronged wills visitors. When the birds Irk began to build, the Marquis of Lothian's 'femily, anxious to ascertain the result, rcitested that the screen might act be disturbed. LAW INTBLLIGIINCE. COURT OF CHANCERY.
