The gloomy state of the revenue for the last quarter has produced such an impres sion upon the market, that not even so large a sum of money coming into circulation had the power of producing a favourable effect upon the funds. The negnciation to obtain Marlborough House 1 for the QUEEN'S residence is not likely to succeed. The Duke of Maausoaouoit has au interest in it for 20 years to come, subject to a lease to the Prince of `AXE COBURG for • term of years, of which there we five unexpired, at an annual rent of 3,5001. We understand that his Royal High 'Jessica's ready to transfer his interest in the premises to her Ma.oxire ; but it is said. he has recently received an intimation that the arrangement, if carried into effect, would be attended with incon venience and dissatisfaction in a certain quar ter. Wishing to accommodate on the one aide, fearful of offending on the other, and standing in the same relation to both, the situation .of peculiar difficulty and delicacy in which he is placed must, in every just and liberal mind, acquit his Royal Highness of all blame in this transaction. It will be seen in ■n advertisement in front of our Paper that the Duke of PORTLAND, •s Lo►d Lieutenant of the county of Middlesex, h a g, i n pursuance of a reqnisition for that purpose, fixed Tuesday the 16th instant for a general meeting of the Freeholders of that county, at the Mermaid, at Hackney, for taking into coosiderution the pro priety of petitioning the House of Commoos for a cosistitutional Reform in the representation of the people in Parliament. It is to be hoped that the Freeholders of this great metropolitan county will, on this occusioii, set •n example worthy of them selves, and of the imitation of the country at large.

The new tragedy of Mirandola, which has been so long announced, from the pen of BARRY CORN WALL, the well-known author of Marcia* Co/onan, and several other poems, was performed last night at this theatre, for the first time. The merited popularity of the author's former works, together with the, iu some degree ostentatious, manlier in which this piece was avowed and proclaimed, and the favourable report of several of the author's friends who had read the play, con tributed to mire the public expectation to an exalted pitch. A crowded house was the conse quence, and we are happy to have it in our power to say, that, contrary to the usual result iu such cases, the merits of the production did not fall short of what had been anticipated, and that complete success crowned the work. Jealousy of the must tearful kind, working upon a strong and generous spirit, and hurrying it to the commission of a most atrocious act, under the semblance of justice, is the passion on which the action is mainly founded. Guido, son of lbe Duke of Mirandole, unknown to his fattier, lures and is beloved by Isidore, the niece and ward of a subject of the Duke's. Being called to the wars, at a distance from his paternal home, his aunt Isabella, the sister of the Duke, who has conceived the ambitious pro ject of securing for her sun Hippolilo, the succession to the sovereignly of Mirandula, causes rumours to his dishonour to be eitenleted, for the purvise of alienating from him his father's affections, but without effect. Guido is wounded iu battle, and reported as dead; and Isidore mourning his lost., is seen by his father in her tears, who, becoming enamoured of her beauty, demands her band of her guardian, and obtains her in marriage. Father Gi reldi, the family confessor, under the influence of Isabella, conceals from Mirandula the mutual passion of his son and Isidore ' and intercepts Guido's letters from Naples to Isidore and his father, and those of fit irandula to Guido ' one of which was intended to convey to him the information of the kneaded nuptials. Guido recovering from his wound, and surprised as well as grieved at the lung absence of intelligence from his father and his beloved Isidore, pewits to Mirandula, and on his arrival first learns their nrisreiage frum the Friar. He is of coarse greatly agitated, and successively re proaches the Friar, the Duke, and IssiJiara, with their cruelly towards bum, and at length resolves to subdue his unhappy passion, and they each, after some conflict with the feelings which their respective situations awakes, determine to fulfil their relative duties to each other with out recurring to the past, which they all seem to think per fectly feasible. Isabella, in furtherance of her still cherish ed design of producing an open rupture beiweeu the Duke and his soil, determines upon provoking the former to jealousy of the latter, for which his former knower pas sion fur Isidore furnishes ample mesas. With a min_ tare of seeming friendly violence and compassionate en treaty, she forces from Isidore, as a token of friendship fur the disconsolate Gliillll, a favourite ring of the Duke's which he had givens her, and presents it in Isidora's name to Guido. At a bouquet given in honour of his son's re torts, he misses the ring from laidura's finger, aud chides her for not wearing it ; and presently afterwards in the warmth of reviving patents' affection, which their tom rel on the subject of the marriage had sinothcied fur a time, he seizes Guide's bend, and finding un hie Sager the ring, is seised with a frantic St of jealousy, breaks up the feast, pours maledictions on all urouud him, and is a freusy of passion hurries into the privacy of his library. He is there found in • state of bewildered exhaustion by Isabella, who at length succeeds iu arousing him. Guido enters, sod after some time explains the ring . to have been given him as a token of pure friendship by lei dors; and shales his determination, in order to avoid future unpleasantness, to depart instantly os his travels, sever to return to Mirandula, and sets out accordingly; his father, by degrees bccoming pacified, consentiag to his departure, and at length throwing himself into his arms, overcome by affection to bid him farewell. A hired of Guido's being prevailed upon by Isidore to procure her a parting interview with him at night in the garden of the castle, her intention being to prevail with him to return her the ring, as a meows of removing the Duke's displeasure, seeks Guido for that purpose in the cell of Fattier Gsialdi, where be enters while his friend is inquiring fur him of the Friar. Wishing to bare no witness to the purport of their conversation, they burry the Friar out of his cell, a bundle of letters falling unperceived from under his habit, as they erne him along. Guido having agreed to return, and meet Isidore In the garden at night, departs, leaving his hired in the tell, who picks up the letters which the Friar had dropped, and finding them to be the intercepted letters of Guido and the Duke, accompanied with a letter from Isabella to the Friar, which discloses the whole of her perfi dious machinations, he hastens to acquaint the itijored par ties with the discovery. The time appointed fur her meet ing with Guido having arrived, Isidore frames ass excuse fur leaving die Duke, and repairs to the rendezvous. Isabella having discovered the assignation, informs the Duke of it in such a way as to arouse his feelings to an alarming pitch. He rushes into the garde. with the moat awful de nunciations of vengeance, aud surprises them together at the monseet when, overpowered by her feelings, and nearly fainting, Isidore is reclining on the arm of Guido. Convinced, as be imagines, of their guilt, his passion becomes ungovern able; be calls in his guards and attendants, and seating him self or a garden chair, as on • throne of justice, he dooms his son to be shot in the castle yard. Guido goes 10 meet his fate with fortitude and magnanimity, and Isidore, on her knees, declares hiss innocent, and implores the recall of his sesteuce ; but übtsiniog no answer, she swoons at bee hus band's feet. She shortly recovers, and rises; but upon her return of her recollection faiatly articulating " Merry!" she falls deed in the acme of as aUeudast. Isabella now enter', and as she is about to speak to the Duke, Goido's friend, whom she supposes to be confined its the castle by bee order, but who has escaped, rushes in with the letters, which be presents to the Duke, who, agonised by the esstendine emotions which this discovery excites, orders Isabella and the Friar to be cunfioed, nod the lion of Guido to be stayed; but the last larder is too late : scarcely has the messenger departed, when the fatal shot is heard, and the frantic Duke, upon hearing this fatal result of the perfidy which had bees practised upon him, falls dead." Of these materials the author has made a judi• cious and skilful application. The tragedy abounds with interesting situations, the action is powerfully wrought, the dialogue is easy, the composition excellent, the thoughts in general natural and appropriate, and frequently elegant and imagine. tire. Some few of the scenes are rather tedious from their length, and the action in some instances unnecessarily protracted, which weakens the interest considerably. A few judicious curt• ilmenta, however, will remedy these de fects, and secure it a ruceessful run. Jr was given oat for repetition this evening, amidst the most enthusiastic cheers and plaudits ; not entirely without opposition, but who could hope for an unanimous approval of a tragedy in dime times ? We never remember to have witnessed more complete success on a first representation. The exert of the performers entitle them to the author's warmest acknowledgments. and to our unqualified approbation. Mr. MACREADVI Duke was a grand and powerful display or his. triouic talent. Mr. C. KsiesLit's Guidocxeceded every former effort of that gentleman's which we have had the pleasure of witnessing. Mr. Au- ROT? and Mr. EGERTOK gave full effect to their respective parts. Mr. Couuoa had very little to do. but that little he did well. Mrs. FAUCIT gave a vigorous portrait of the wily and ambitious Isabella; and Miss Foote pl-y -ed the tender and interesting Isidnra with taste and feeling. Every opportunity which the piece afforded was liberally seized fur presenting some of the most beautiful specimens of scenery, which even the highly-finished state of the art at this theatre has as yet exhibited. The ban quet scene at the close of the third act, was truly splendid, and the arrangement of the orchestra tasteful and well imagined. Mr. Bishop availed himself of the opportunity for the display of his skill in musical composition, afforded by the intro duction of a triumphal ode, to treat us with a de lightful chorus. The Prologue was well spoken by Mr. CHIP MAN, and the Epilogue was gracefully and play. fully delivered by Muss FOOTE. ,o , - • 4 - HOUS E LEO PU'JR. A meetin of the general Committee took place yesterday. f or the purpose of considering the pro priety of placing the sum of .5004' at the divosal of the Sub-Committee, who lest winter applied 1,000/. of the gentlel fund in the relief of the des. titute at their own homes. The attendance was numerous, and the Chair having been taken by Sir JOHN LUSBOcC— Mr. DOHNFORD rose and (deserved, that as what had been done last ).ar in this branch of relief would be the best pledge for the future. he was desirous that the report arise Destitute Committee. made at the conclusion of their labours, should be read, which was accordingly done by the Secre tary. Mr. DOILNFORD then moved that the sum of SOO/. be granted to the Committee fur the same purposes. The motion was supported by Mr. Baoce, Mr. FRIND, and Mr. Fame; and opposed by Mr. CAMPBELL. Mr. GOLDEN ID, Mr. GOULD, Mr. Mr. POWNALL, and other members. Mr. GOLDIMID. iu an animated speech. called upon the Committee to confine their atterstiou to the original object of the subscription ; to view %hat their object was, he observed it was only necessary to read to the Committee the Resolutions entered into at Mr. Hick's warehouses, when the first public meeting was held upon this subject. which Re solutions were the productions of their Hono rary Secretary, whose correctness upon ull °eels sinus they were well aware of. Mr. Goldsusid then read them, and argued forcibly against the present grant, as a departure from their true spirit and intention, although lie was prepared fully to admit that the money voted to the Destitute Com mittee last year had been expended in the most cautious and judicious manner. Mr. Dice was for voting a smaller sum than that proposed ; but a general feeling advetse to the principle appeared to pervade the meeting. Mr. BODKIN. the Secretary, said that, with every disposition in favour of the Committee, villein exer tions last year he warmly eulogised, he could soot bring himself to vote for the grant now proposed. Ile did not oppose it, however. upon the principle so ably urged by Mr. Goldstnid, because he thought that if the relief of the poor at their own houses were not an original, it was, after what had taken place last year, an adopted object of the subscrip tion; bat he could not help feeling that the nature of the association had become very materially changed, inasmuch as it was at first intended for a temporary purpose, but now a strong and general feeling existed in favour of its becoming perms nently useful; and if this feeling were acted upon (which he hoped would be the case), the undivided energies of the Committee would he requisite. whilst the whole of the present subscription would fall short of the auna which a peroisiot establish ment would require. After considerable discussion the motion was put and negatived by a great majority; and a spe cial meeting will be held on Friday !text. to decide upon an appeal to the public for additional dona tions, with a view to obtain a fund. the interest of winch, combined with annual subscriptions shall be sufficient to defray the( expenses of houses fur 'tightly shelter, either during the whole of the year, or at such parts of it as may he thought proper. The asylum at Nipping was opened on Mon dry, and upwards of 80 persons admitted. The London Workhouse was quite full. and several cases of interest cone before the Committee, per ticularly that of a young woman, who had been in duced to leave her place in the country by her mo ther, who brought bee to London, and after en deavouting iu vain to induce her to receive the wages of prostitution, cruelly abandoned her., to this critical eituation rhe was found iu the neigh bourhood of Learienliall-market, weeping bitterly, and was introediately directed to the Refuge fur the Homeless, selwre she was received, and, through the kisidimis of Mr. flick, is now under he care of the Provisional Protection Society, so.

The audience at Drury-lane theatre, ou Saturday night, were kept waiting longer than usual for the commencement of the pantomime, in consequence of the whole hand, except Mr. Stuart, having refused to enter the orchestra because fuer of them ►ad been fined fur nun-performance of their duly, sad which four had influenced the rest to snake com mon cause with them. Mr. Dunu, who happened to be at the theatre, fearful of offending the audience, and having learned the delay, was induced to comply with the demands of the re fractory musicians. The citrumstanre being made known to Mr. Ellis/on, ►e approved oftir conduct of Mr Dunn, soil they on Monday, accompanied brOtr. Russell and Mr. Wilition, repaired to Bow-street, where Mr. Elusion laid his cam before Mr Burnie. He contended that the performers, although paid Tacitly, were his yearly ea-events. At all events, they were his eery/nits for the season, being engaged specifically for tka( term, and it not being in Ilia power to discharge them . during its continuance, provided they did their duty. He urged the great marmot the property intrusted to him, esti mated at 200,0004 and maintaird that the refractory mew bers, whose somdUct endangered it, must be contidered as men who bad entered into • cumbinatiou fur an illegal purpose. The Magistrate received the complaint against four of the refractory baud, under the Combination Act ; via. William Daley, John Smalley, Henry Barker, and John Bullock, bat proposed proceding in the most delicate way, by issuing summonses ailing them instead of warrants, which Mr. Minton acclaimed in. The summonses were accordingly made out, mid given to Bond, the constable of the theatre, to serve them an the parties, at the conclusion of the per. romance of the pantomime; and as the question was of importance to the theatre, the time fixed upon fur hearing the charge was the espy hour of baltpast Lett o'clock yes terday awning. wbeu lb* parties were summoned to attend. It appeared front the general statement of Mr. Elliaton, Mr. Russell,. Mr. Donal, and Mr. Cam, that at the corn menceineut of the present season, Mr. Ellictun had slated to Mr. Smart the' leader of the band, that in consequence of NSt diampuization of the band last season, he should he under the necessity of preventing any deputies bring allowed. Mr. Smart, in reply, pointed out certain cases where lie thought such a rqle should be related, viz. uu the nights when musical pieces and operas were nut pet formed, when many of rite gentlemen belonging to the band could get • guinea or two guineas a night by reforming at con certs, such person should be allowed to be absent on pro tiding a proper sulettnote, to which Mr. Elliston very readily agreed, provided the party made au application its outing, which was also readily agreed to. On new year's day evening, Wm. Daley and John Smalley, two of the Defendants, were absent from their place, in the orchestra the whole of the errant'', fur which they were fined the week's salary ou Saturday.

Mr. Harmer contended that the charge "Ce 4 "lt the De fendants did not come ;within the meaning of the Combina tion Act. . _ Mr. Bireie acisiesced, boat thought the charge, if proved, might amount to a canspirary. After some further discussion, Mr. Harmer admitted that the conduct of his clients might subject t►em to an indii t otal for a conspiracy, and hoped, after what had passed, that they would return to tlieir dusty to the theatre. Mr. &baton expressed himself satiafied. All he wanted, be said, was to have hie rights ascertained that be might know how to eaforce them. The Defeadsuts were then discharged.
