It is of all modern pieces the least de pendant on ordivary stage stratagem for its seem... The plot is of bold undertaking, but the execution leaves tome of its conditions uoifulfilled. A poli tical plot too labours tinder so much more difficulty than coy other, having . to accommodate so many and strongly varying opinions. The dialogue keeps op to the soiiit of the author's design. It has no rapid assuming of high manners with the character who are supposed to poness them, but charms with an easy sod graceful fluor. The interest is rrtsined with unusual art, and increases from first to last, and the mind is frequently Irft in gratifying ittfficulty, to guess whither the plot will turn is the next The asperities which deservedly fall on the practices of certain opposition politics (which are described by the prolusophic Prince us the cackling that pre vents truth from reaching hint) are among the most useful pleasantries of modern plays. Tne only drawback on the merit of the author was a suspicion of the matesials having been imported front the German. But evert in that rase the skill evinced in adapting them can he considered stashing, or at any rate little short of their first invention. There are no terms of orals. son great to snatch the merits of the actors. Mr. TERRY, who performed the disguised Prince, displayed an air of intelligent dignity which called back she recollection of K RUBLE very powerfully. Ile is one of the few actors left as who are able to rely more upon their clear appre hension of a writer than spoil the gesture and action which are to illustrate him. Mr. Jonso made a mon meddling, garrulous, and mock-myste rious faction-monger of Fallotoitz, one of the in structively mobs as relatives of !auto. Mr. YOUNGER, Mr. WILLIAMS, and Mrs. PEARCE, fiord up the other characters of the faintly ; and certainly the alternate moods of sr•dition and sycophaticy were admirably pot off by the "hole groupe. Mrs. CHATTERLEY played the gentle and sensitive karma. When the Prince was trying her troth to her lover by exhibit ing to her imagination all the stdoctious of wealth and rank. by her heroic and affectionate denial she must have made the hearts of all the bachelors kel a queer void at not having met with a subj.-et of the same kind to bless their several destinies. Mr. Dec•oie performed the lover Edgar, which, though a busy part, tends little to elevate the performer in the esteem of the audience, being little else than a foil for setting off the factioit•eurtoic skill of the Prince.— Therr are two subordinate ;tarts which are well cuiiiireted with the story, though the main par pose seems to be that of giving an opportunity to Alio' K. CORRI and Mrs. BAKER to sing some very agreeable airs and duets, which are set to good metre, and were molt musically given by those young ladies. At the falling of the curtain, Mr. TERRY stepped forward and said, that from the • flattering testimonies of applause already bestowed, he had no difficulty in annouucing the piece for repetition every evening till further notice. Shouts of applause from e part of the house welcomed the intelligence. Again he announced that Oil Saturday night it would be presented, to gether with the Marriage of Figaro, for 11w bene fit of Mr. JON ta.—(:llore applasases.) Subjoitsed is the Prologue—tau Epilogue was given : PROLOGUE. fIPOILEN BY MR. TERRY.

THE ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. Ste—l thank you for the insertion of sty letter addressed to the Independent Livery of London, inserted in your Paper of this 'lay. I therein stated that the rotation bevies fallen upon Alderman Magoay last Christmas, that geatleman did not refuse the office, but requested the indulgence of hisiel low.citixeus fur one year, that is, until the prevent election; that the rotation, therefore, clearly fell upon the Alderman next in seniority, via. Mr. Heygate, but that this Geatlemee, front motives of delicacy and respect towards Alderman Maguey, was unwilling to precede him, and also begged the indal f the Livery. This statement being decisive of the point I seek to maintain, it is sot my. wish that it should be received without proof. I have therefore made the fol lowing extract from the address of Mr. Heygate tu the Livery of London, dated Southend, Sussex, September 27, lOU, and published is revere, of the Load'''. Papers :—" derstanding that Alderman Maguey, whose name is next in rotation for the Mayoralty, although he declines offer. . ing himself any way as a Candidate, will, in the erent • of the Livery being pleased to elect him, undertake the discharge of its duties, I !birth myself called upon to state that from every feeling of delicacy and respect. I sin anxious not to be placed by my friends before that Geo. Hereon at the approaching election." These are the avowed ■nd recorded sentiments of Mr. Heygate in 1220. Alder. 'nee Naval then declined to offer ►imself, but so great were the respect and delicacy of Mr. Heygate, be could not think of opposing hie election. Now, however, when Al. derma Maguey does offer himself, Mr. Heygate forgets all his respect and delicacy, and comes forward iu direct end active opposition. I maintain, therefore, that Mr. Heygate has disqualified himself as a competitor to Mr. Maguey on the present occasion ; and that in offering himself iii oppo silica to that Gentleman, be subjects himself to the charge of inconsistency. The friends who would precipitate his election now, will not, I Wok, best consult his interests, whro it is considered that next year will be his regular turn, wbea he may offer htsiself•with increased chance of suc cess, and free front any objection. Both Gentlemen are highly respectable, and worthy of the oiler, but as far as I can learn, the election of Alderman Magnay would give g I sat isfact ion. A LIVERYMAN. • 20th September.

Yesterday a Meeting of Proprietors took ;Aare, for the purpose of considering of a hulf.yeatly rlive dend. The Chairman produced a resolution of the Directors, recommending that the the half-year ending the 10111 October iiretoohould he 5/. per cent. wiiich resolution be proposed for the adoption of the Mewling. Mr. GUNDRY rose and said, he had his usual task, I e feared as ineffectual its ever. to petroetes that of ceiling for some specific and detailed in tormatroo respecting the concerns of the Bank. H• then said that his age and infirmities pretreated ma delivering himself so he us. *Old to do in ergo. menu in support of that motion in a speech, and oil that account he solicited permission to'reud his .perch in writing. He immediately reasserted the arguments which he has bees, in the habit of using at former meetings, to shew the neces►ity or the Bank concerns being submitted to the inspection of the Proprietor+, to enable them to say what ttie dividend ought to be. This inforinetion, he coo tended, they were entitled to by law, by charter, and by common sense. Standing alone when he applied at his own espen.e, in the King's Bruck, fur a MeNdIaINUS to compel the Directors to produce their accounts as by charter they were bound to do, the Judges there did not controvert his construction of the charter, but pointed out a different form of preliminary proceeding for his adoption. After consulting able lawyer*, he at leirgth found that the remedy prescribed for him was in the Court of Chancery ; and need they wonder that, ap proaching his 80111 year, on a subject deer io his heart, be felt little disposition to decelerate his ob ject by embarking at that periud of his life in a Chancery ►uit. Not feeling any inclination to purane his object through the Court., lie hail re curred once more to the by-laws not that Court fit the support of hie proposition. feeling this couch contidenceiu hi+ present mode of appeal, that it could not be got rid of by aside-trim!, but must be determined by a ballot. He hoped that they, a very limited number of Proprietors in the int iropults, were nut prepared, without the fullest coosidera tion being first given, to ballot away the iirterests of the ironwood Proprietors Scalttirtd over the kmgdoru—some in Cornwall. some in Yorkshire. After dwelling on this topic he promised them, that, though living at a distance, and bring advanced in years, he would carefully and regularly attend their meetings and etilorce his proposition. He then moved an amendment, to substitute 6 per ceut. for 5 in the original 'notion. The amendment was put, and the hand of the mover being the only one held up iu support of it, was lost. Mr. GUNDRY required the ballot to be taken. After some conversation, in which Serjeant Bo tIANISUET participated, it was understood that a ballot could not be bad without nine or ten pro prietors sobscribiog to demand it. Mr. Guaoat insisted that he was right, and that no other than the course proposed by him was taken at the last ballot. This was contradicted by several of the Pro prietors. A Gentleman, who was understood to be a hanker of Bath, wished to know ►f the Directors had any objection to state if the Bank transactions had been prosperous or not last year, as he conceived that information to be necessary to enable them to understand the propriety of the proposed dividend. • The CHAIRMAN replied, that it mould he to • encourage great irregularity in their proceedings to answer the questions of any Gentleman who thought proper to call on him, respecting the opinions of the Directors—that the Proprietors no doubt lied the fullest confidence in the Directors, who would not have proposed the dividend without the fullest consideration. The present dividend had been de termined on after a full confidential of the Bank. Another Gentleman pressed the Chairman to say if the Directors were not about to reduce the rate of interest from 5 to 4 per cent. and enforced the necessity of determining such a rumour by admitting or denying it. The CHAIRMAN again objected to being goes- Coned on behalf of the Directors, 'anent% the Court that the Directors would take ►o step not calculated to promote the interests of their concerti, and he cautioned Gentlemen against lending a ready ear to such &snug rumours, the best way for discrediting which would be to disregard then►. 'f he saute Gentleman again. pressed for some general answer, on what he conceived to be so im portant a subject. The CHAIRMAN declined ■ny reply, for the rea. sons before stated. Another Gentleman desired to know what steps were taking respecting the new Bank rioter ? He was led to this inquiry• by observing the perse verance of the Bank in prosecution* for forgery, w►th a penalty attached, svbich, as he thought, with many others, Its be more than comn►ensurate with the offence. Tne CHAIRMAN replied, after some observations ott the pains taken by the Bank to promote the suggested project, that the result was tin entire failure. The subject was, however, continually under the consideration of the Bank ; nor would they neglect any measures found to be conducive to the end in view. As to the prosecut . and punishment of forgery, the one was undertakris by the Bank for public security, the other trvted en tirely with the Legislature. The B.u►k had to obey, not to dictate the law. T►iey were anxious to give every facility for the exchange of metallic currency to the holders of notes, nut alone of the small, but of all others of their notes. The dividend was ■greed to uusuiurou►ly, and the Court adjourned. • Up to the 6.h of August, 286 vettiolv, and 6,367 tattlers, arrived at Quebec this eeaeon.
