The Ministers of the Crown having complained so bitterly of what they elegantly called the milk aomedger “sittre of Lord A. I.HAWILTON'S motion, respecting inexpediency of having omitted the Wastes o.nue from the Liturgy, we trust that the Marquis of TAVISTOCZ, when he brings for ward his p.omised motion for reviewing the con elect Of the Ministers throughout the *We of the e.aecutioo, will gratify them with such a motion me they shall find some difficulty in digesting. We mt the sane time do not conceive them so deficient in ingenuity as not on such anoccesioa to complain, with equal bitterness, of the severity of language in which thelroble Marquis may think proper to convey his censure of their course of procedure. We hope that the resolution or motion will be vo, framed as to afford no opportunity of evading the question by a motion of adjournment, by the previous gonna', or by uny other exercise of par liamentary tactics. This, we confess, would be somewhat difficult, but if the censure be direct, so ought to be the answer. It must prove highly sattefactory to the country, and is indeed a proper subject of congratulation, that in the present agi tated state of the public mind members of the noblest linnilies in the kingdom have come forward to sanction by their concurrence the expression of public opinion, and to direst with their wisdom and energy the efforts of the people for the prevention and punish ment of the errors of Ministers. The leaders of the people at the present conjuncture are to be found where they should ever be sought, muosig the CAVENDISHES, the RUSSELLS, and the RAIIIILTONS ; land the concurrence of such names affords the fullest security to the nation that the measures they propose or pursue rpring from ao motives that are inconsistent with the purest pa triotism, or incompatible, at least in their honest opinions, with the best and surest interests of the state. To-morrow evening Lord CasTr.eaeacit pro poses to submit to the noon of Commons the pro vision, for the QUEEN. In the debate of Friday night the Noble Lord admitted, in the most on equivocal language (a rare occurrence in his Lord- ship's oratory), that the Bill of Pains and Penal. ties against the Qu BEN not having passed the Bowie of Lords, her MAJESTY was fully entitled to be treated at if the charges had never been urged against her. How far the Nable Lord can recon cile this admission with the past conduct of him- self and his colleagues. it is not for us now to in- quire, but we claim for her MAJESTY in futore the unlimited advantage of it. Should Lord CASTLE.. REACH therefore, to-morrow evening, propose for the Qvwee establishment a rum of money lees than was enjoyed by her immediate predecessor, or should he mix up with the grant any insidious ex pression condemnatory of her MAJESTY'S conduct, lie will sin grievously against the consistency of his own doctrine. This too we brg leave to submit particularly to the consideration of the Members of the House of Commons. The Queen's conduct has never yet been investigated by the House of Commons, the Members of it hive never yet set as her judges, examined witnesses for or against the charges, nor have they ever yet heard the QUEEN'. either by herself or Counsel, in her own defence. Should the House of Commons therefore snffer a rote of censure to be mixed up with the grant of a sum of money to the QUEEN, it will be acting an unjust and dishonest part, for it will pronounce the worst of sentences against the first subject in the realm, without having in its collective ca pacity not merely weighed the evidence and the defence, but, without having heard one word even of the charges that have been preferred against her MAJESTY.

The popular tragedy of Richard the Third was performed last night to a very full house. Mr. WALLACH sustained the part of the Duke of Glo'ster with considerable success. The magni tude of his task seemed to weigh down his powers in the first scenes, and occasionally to an advanced period of the play. The difficulty of attaining any degree of credit in a "part improved by the conceptions of the chief actors for scores of year. past, was, indeed, an unfavourable impression wherewith to undertake such an enterprise. But it was the mind of Mr. W. •trscie which was alone oppressed by this very creditable suspicion of his ability. He totally shook it off shortly idler the commencement of the fourth act. He acted up to the heroic bustle of his affairs. The audience, who had witnessed the former part with composure, became animated, and encouraged the display of his energies with loud peals of applause.— He went on improving, and met his foe, Richmond, in the combat gallantly. The fight was well sus tained, and Richard's fall was excellent. He rose again, however, to pronounce his dying speech, and then fell dead. We did s not like the effect of this innovation, as It detracted from the real horror of the scene. He was loudly applauded by se parate peals of approbation. His readings were all good; but we could not discern any new one worth noticing particularly: Mr. COOPER performed Richmond for the first time, and with very gond effect. He evinced a glow of Ise. roism, end displayed a martial port and behaviour quite becoming the character. Of course he shared in the applause of the duel, which was well sod desperately fought. Mrs. Gtoven as the Queen, Mrs. WEST as Lady Anne. and Mrs. KNIGHT as the Duchess of York, sustained their parts with the utmost success. But the public are so fully aware of their excellence in those very parte, that it would be superfluous to make any comment. The play gave great satisfaction, end will no doubt be often repeated, at least as often as the other successful novelties will admit. WINDSOR.

On Saturday Ilse signed Exhibition of Patoting, was sowed to the private Jasper:ilea of sbeaubseribers, previous to the admission of the public yesterday. It reelable as zeal variety of pictures, and a greater number of histo rical, poetic, and inventive 'objects than any previoue Ex hibition of the same order. that is to say, of works almost all predated within the year. But it is not in the spirit of designing slam that improvement to a very considerable extent is observable; colour and finishing are evidently i■ s rapid state of adreseeraest among the artists who usually contribute most to these exhibitions. Many of the pieces in the present one require from those whose senses are best Stied for the oceepation, diligent and pro. longed research to gather their manifold excel lencies:, sad impart a due mole of the genies and assiduity with which they have been executed. I■ she character of she subjects, rocs, there is more originality of choice than the imitative habits of the art (we mean be a pro. tensional sense) would have ltd se to (aspect ; so that if these obvious indications of lase and selection be trust-worthy es to further improvement (the warrant fur which we have is the emulous disposition of our race), posterity will witness the establisheeut of • school, as distinct and national, as elaborate ie skill, as correct and excellent in its ob jects, conceptions, and execution, as any that have goes before. The picture which occupies the chief etas*, .1 in the gallery is No. 11, 'lobe, by Sir WILLIAM FICECIIEV, a piece of rich design, of bright, thosiih not splendid co louring; the eagle is dotty imagined. Hebe has nut the sen sual luxury of human beauty which the Italians have ge nerally bestowed on her; bet her chaste bloom of loveliness would have graced any of the most spiritual personages in their religious pieces.

Athol Highlanders returned from hauling to red Deer, by WILKIC, displays the strung discrimination of character, strict judgment, and correctness of that great master, which are ul ble in a still greater degree is • No. 17, Finished Study of Reading a Will, painted by him also. The grouping in the latter piece is vari ous and admirably chosen. The point of time is no less judiciously selected. All the countenances conspire to inform the spectator that the scrivener his nut yet got through with the reading of the preamble. Every fats betrays suspense, and none either joy or mortificatiOn. The jolly widow, having fu► an instant checked her grief. displays a mixture of confidence and anxiety as to the testa. meatery dispositions. The man of war, lensing over hoe chair, has evidently proposed himself as connubial wencher. His experienced mein, the decline of his head so a■ to ens. ble his lips to form a junction with the top of his cane, sad the expert preseulat:on of his ear to the voice of the reader. prove that he only waits to be certified as to the valise of ibe spoils before he will summon the garrison to surrender. The piece, for its size, is as full of incident, character, and geusine humour, as could be well contrived. No. It The importunate Author, from Les Fackeitz, of Mounts, by G. 8. NEWTON.

We have nut room to describe the many well.finisbed pieces by this gentleman. Perhaps the next best by him to the one jest named is N 0.220, Sehers of a Boar—the mildest display of a, subject of so violent a character that could be wished, without the abridgment or any fenetiou of power, either iu the dog, or in the savage thing he is tormenting.

In the case of Huse against Garden. in td Atkins, page 471, Lord Herciwicke, then Solicitor-General, coincided in the opinion that such publications were a contempt of the Court, and cited the case of Captain Petty, who printed hie brief ; and since then in the ease ex parte Jones, before Lord Erskine, the doctrine of Rose sod Garden, in ed Atkins, was fully recognised. Mr. Clement's affidavit stated that he went out of 'town on the 25th of April. and he (the Attosssey-Gonera I could not help thinking that his going out of town at that particular time was not entirely accidental, but that he meant thereby to evade the service of the order of the Court on himself persoually. But by the Act of 38th Geo. 111 cap. 17, it was pro vided that service at the office where the paper was published, should be reckoned good service. He would remind the Court that it was every. day's practice to fine jurors for noneattendance, and as there was no irregularity, he trusted the Court would not grunt the present application, which 'could only be made for the purpose of delay. The. Souct•roa-Gerreast. followed on the same ride, and referred the Court to the case of the King v.

In this Court, in the case of: %Vat. son, the proceedings were forbidden to be publish.. rd ; also in the trial of Brandreth at Detby, there was a similar prohibition, and his Lem-lieu Friend Mr. Denman had himself, on the part of the De fendants. complained of the inlesugentent of that. order. In Sir Thomas Jones's Reports, page 169, in the cote of the King v. the Sheriff of ---, the Under-Sheriff had refused to amend the panel of the Grand Jury. The High Sheriff being order ed to attend, and not complying with the order, he was fined 100/. Application was then made to re move the proceedings from the Court of Exche quer, but this Court refused to interfere. and *aid that if any injustice were done, the whole 'of the proceedings being before the Court of Exchequer, it could there be set right. Mr. Gutteey followed on the same side, and quoted Blackstone. vol. 4, p. 285, to shew that it would be a contempt el Court to publish the pro ceedings, even if true, while Jud gmen t was pend ing. 11;e Learned Counsel contended that Mr. Clement would sustain no injury Gunk the Court refusing to grant his present application, as he might in the Exchequer sliew cause why the fine should not be enforcer& Mr. LITTLIIDALE followed on the same side. Mr. DUMAN said it was not necessary for him to dispute the authority of the ca-es queued lir hi, Learned Friends; they only tweet to shelo that a power had been exercised by this Cow: And (tie Court of Chancery ; it would . undoubtedly hti%e been more satisfactory if they h ail shewo the exer cise of such • power by a Court cow:Mtn:col the Court was before which the Prisoners were tried. There was • Special Commission issued, under which Bills were foetid, but it was the ordinary Court of Gaol delivery, before *hick they were tried. But though it should be granted that the Court has power to tine {which he did not dispute), it by no means fol!uwed that it has the power to line strangers; for, in all the cases adduced, the persons listed were parties at tending upon the Court. In the case of the She riff, who wise fitted, he was an officer, whose duty it was to- be attending upoo she Court, sued of course he might he fined for nun-attendance. So, also. of a Juror. The case in 4d AtAiiis seemed to be refrtred to by his Learned Fitetiol, for the sake of quotiog Lord Hardwicke's opinion ; but it should slot he foriotten,• that this was a fat. sod impartial reitort of' the trial.- so that the-case in Atkins could hardly apply to it. in the prevent esees, had no order 'been nittle,prohshito4; would the Cowl have fined for live' ? • Hoerver highly he ettisnated the Otiltnert3 of Blackstone, yet, as he 7. 1- • r I • .~k Pia 4 t , i I ' 1 ' r '111: I i . . 1 V ' al 4 l ' !
