THEA . TRAt HATtikaires SolemnAtt's ever-amusiag comedy of 7%e pi r ds. was last night performed before a crowded sudience--sild commanded such constant applause sr must ensure its frequent repetition. Mr. Talent a ppeared as Sir Atthony Absolute. and exhibited. o tli due force, all the peculiarities of the kind and co nsiderste father, whose meekness of disposition, that of the generality of fathers, is never ~,, , ,r, l tntn passion, so long as his offspring bow tin. to his commands, whether wise or absurd. CoNNOR. i. Sir Lucius O'Trigge►, combio ,,l tie r•tsy deportment of a gentleman with the livenroos whimsicalities of an Hibernian. Mr. JONEs iv an excellent representative of Captain Absolute. His polished manners. and the agreeable buoyancy of his spirits, rendered " honest Jack" a very fascinating personage. The part of Acres I/ s allotted to Mr. LISTON. His performance was rich in comic humour. The assumed courage of fighting Bob" was exceedingly ludicrous—but it was utterly impassible to hear his voice, and wit ness the changes of his countenance, when the bra very of poor Acres is "oozing away." without in dulging at ex/emotive laughter. Falkland was, for the but time, supported by Mr. %%FAROE. He described, with delicacy. as well as strength doubts and fears of the too-sensitive lover. Lydia Langsish was personified, with Mitch vivacity, by Mts. Oiret—but her appearince is by far too mo ronity Tor the youthful romance reader. The part of jaili.s was supported by Mrs. EDWIN—SiIk:Pm perfotursuce proved. most abundantly, that semi meta is not her/trete. Mrs. DAVENPORT rust/lined the character of Mrs. .Wul-spiop with admirable comic eff.ct. The farce of %he Actor of All-Work followed, the pert of Multiple, for the ti at time, by Mr. J. RUSSELL. To follow that Protests, MATHEWS. with any degree of success, in a character which he tilled so excellently. would not be a trifling achieve rs! snit ; hut Mr. RUSSELL did a great deal more, his merit extorts,' plaudits, from those who had previously believed that Misltiple must remain de funct, until resuscitated by Mr. MATHEW!. The metarnorplures of Mr. RUSSELL were twartogrd with great ceir,ity. and he was very happy in hitting-olf the peculiarities of the different characters. His reception was most flattering. Durieig the performance of the first act of the comedy, the Duke of WELLINGTON and a large pull cornet the boxes. Ha Grace was soon recog nised, and was greeted with three hearty cheers, wh.t la he returned by repeated obeisances. OPE/LA.IIOM.

The people of England. above all other nations of Europe, have been ever distinguished fur sincere and steady 'loyalty. In the few instances where they resisted the authority of the Crown, it is re markable that the people were entirely in the right. Charles attempted to subvert the constitution of England, awl James, sin.lared by hie fate, fulloweJ in his footstep,; in both coves the people were driven to the painful alternative of choosing between their Sovereign •od their country ; they preferred the bitter, and they banished the Stuarts from a throne which their •ices lisd di.graced and their crimes had forfeited. In the succeeding reigns, notwithstanding many unpopular acts, and indeed a serious departure from the principles of the Revolution, we find the people preserving a uniform attachment to the Throue. During the greater part of the reign of his present Majesty, that attachment increased to • degree of enthirdasm--inost of the measures of the Court were sanctioned by the people. We' fear the people reposed too much confidence in their rulers—and that many of the evils which they now deplore sprung from measures which they had formerly applauded. That their sentiments in this respect have underg me a decisive change, i 4 a fact which can no longer be disputed : it is in vain for the supporters of Administration to con- Call the fact—it is verified in a thousand instances; wherever the people have had an opportunity of recording their sentiments on the state of public affairs for the last few years, we find them in sip. loot opposition to the Court—we find them de. cidedly hostile to the men sold measures of the pre. sent day. This opposition is construed into dis. loyalty. The chargenf disloyalty, which of late years the adherents of M toioefs h i ve brew so food of bring. iug against the people, appears to us to he falsely aud unwisely in ide. It is very impolitic thus to brand the people with the crime of divloyaliy. If Ministers succeeded iii establishing it, they would only prove that the great body of the people are disloyal to the Government of the country. Minis. ten should recollect that a free Government main. ly rests upon opinion, and if you succeed in 'hew.. ing that opinion is in opposition to Government, you go a great way to undermine its security, and endanger its power. The writers of the Court in ty denominate the people as fancy, as folly, or as malignity dictates— they may call them miscreants, wretches, traitors, yet still they are the people. Look at their num bers, fifty thousand assembled in Smithfield, thirty thousand in Llinuineham, thirty thousand at Leeds, twenty thousand at Stockport. In fact, it would be an endless wink to go through the different meetings held throughout England, attended as they have been by the great bulk of the popula tion, aid affording as they don striking and prim. tient proof of the public discontent. The ministerial writers tell as, that the discontent of the people proceeds from their restleuners, their vices, their ignorance of political affairs, and their incapability of comprehension, from the pressure of temporary distress—the influence of seditious writ ings, sod of aspiring demagogues—in a word, to any shill but the teal cause, to the uogrucious and unfeeling matiotr in which their former complaints were treated—to the suspension of the Constitution on pretences frivolous and false—to the monstrous state of representation, and the abuse and corrup tion which follow—to the audacity Ministers-- and the inffction of an excessive, grinding, and, indeed, we may add, intolerable texation. These are the true sources of disaffection—it is worse than folly to talk of any other. As to the imputed ignorance of the people, thanks to the labours of a free press, Englishmen, even of the humblest cast, are better informed on political subjects than their enemies would wish to acknow ledge. That many of them indulge in visionary and impracticable views, we know and lament; but that they know and feel their situation, the causes of their distress, amt the misconduct of Ministers, is evident from all their proceedings. As to the influence of demagogues, it argues a strange and absurd inconsistency iii those writers who talk of the ii.fltierice of these men over the public mind of this country, at the same moment that they desciihe them us mere adventurers—low as vice sod ignorance can make them. Indeed, there is nothing of novelty or of truth in the argument which goes to impute to the influence of leaders the discontent of the people—it has been made use of a thoosand times before—it is the common resource of the advocates of Ministers, when they are not able to meet the question fairly. The character of a demagogue in these days is pretty well understood. lie is not as he is falsely painted, the demon that conjures up the storm, but a creature brought intu hfe by the heat of popular discontent, who appears to lead by always follow ing the impulse of the people. The present discontent has been produced by far more efficient and lamentable causes—by the extent of public grievances—by the dangerous, and, we hope, unfounded opinion, that Govern ment is not disposed to redress the misery of the people. The people on n tger oppose confi dence in their rulers—they fiod, or thiult they find that the demand for Reform has been only an swered by fresh abuses—that the prayer .fur relief has bees answered by increased taitatioothat the ear of the Sovereign is insensible to the !civil and dutiful representation. of his people—they see, or think they see, the Ministers of the King stood jug between the throne soil the subject. raveling upon the one the image of their own unworthiness. and visiting the other with the conisegtiences of their own ignorance, their cupidity. their want of capacity. of intelligence. and of v rtoe. We will not say that this is the real character of Ministers, but it is certainly the character which they beer with the great body of the public. They have sunk in public opinion—the feelings of the within revolt against their measures—they should retire— es unpopular Minister can never lie efficient. We live in times when rank majorities odour c4nont support the Government—opinion must support it ; though t h e present p ereooto of the Regent may amuse their Muter, and disgust his subjects for wine time longer, their tenacity to place will only render their fall from power the more sudden and disgraceful. Some chance should he given to the country : under the present Ministers the hand of rile- mitt' is pressing herde► on it every hour. More faithful to their interests than their engagements, they set not with promises of economy, and they Cots eluded with additional taxation ; more anxious fur power than for character, they consider the posses sion of pluce• sufficient compensation for the loss of all that could give dignity to elevation. Their love l of power proceeds front no high sentiment—ship place of its emolument, and in their eyes you take from it all that could render it desirable. They esti mate office precisely by the quantity of money that it brings in. Perhaps they are right—most things loose their attraction by too close an association with what is vulgar. l'ower has been too long in the posiessios of the present men not to have lost much of its splendour—it has been faded ■nd discoloured I►y hands at once feeble and rude— alike incapable of exercising it with the firmness of wisdom, or with the feelings of true humanity. Under their sway. no grievance has been removed.... 90 abuse has been corrected—indecision marks their divided councils—discontent and failure prove the inutility or the mischief of their measure , . They have no redeeming qualities. Common in all their view*, they never exceed mediocrity —no comprehension of idea—no splendour of action distinguish theirs from the meanest ca pacity. With the exception of Mr. Canning, who is a man of some wit, they have sin talents. Their debates are as dull as their measures are inexpli cable, and they are as incapable of explaining their conduct as the nation are of comprehending it. Under there men the empire has retrograded—their fall from power will be the first advance of the no tion to prosperity and repose. An Administration that has lost all character is the eyes of the people, has lost all that should make it acceptable in the eyes of the Sovereign. Whilst these men remain in power, we shall only witness a dangerous conten tion between an irribrted Government on the one hand, and an oppressed and outraged peple on the other. Under the guidance of other councils the country would recover, the sense of the people would embrace objects which are attainable and which are rational. Blest in their possession, Englishmen would hail the return of tranquillity ; with the spirit and the feeling of better days, they would again repose under the Throne they loved—in peace, in secu rity, and in freedom.

BOROUGH AND °IMAM Sir ARTHUR I'IGGOTT said, he was instructed 1 to .rake a motion on the behalf of the trustees iii 1 this case ; roil if his Lordship thought there was I any impropriety in the application, he was to I request that he would give his judgment relit. tive to the appointment of a receiver, which quests 1 t hail been fully argued before his Lordship on I a former d.iy. The LORD CHANCELLOR —" The last time I heard of this case, I directed the Solicitors of 11. e j parties to attend me in my private room at the 1 House of Gads ' and I would give them my judi cialopinion on the point you have mentioned." Sir ARTHUR PIGGOTT said, under those circum t stances he would request of his Lordship to allow the motion to stand over until the next seal, as he was in hopes the Court would not be again trou bled with it, as lie understood • meeting was to take place to.day between the parties, which would lead to am amicable settlement, which would make it unnecessary again to trouble the Court. But if the result of that meeting did not turn out as he expected, he trusted Iris Lordship would allow him to snake the motion on nett Wednesday. IFurther consideration postponed. PRIVATE COMMUNICATIONS TO THE LORD 1 CHANCELLOR. BRUCK IN THR BATTER OF BRUM A BANKRUPT. Mr. Bruce, in propria persona, addressed his Lordship and rtilUtlllittl that he would Advance the petition on the paper which he had presented in June last, to supersede the commission of bank. i ruptcy against him, so as it might he heard at the i i seine time as the poitiou of the Commissioners of 1 Bankrupts, complaining of his conduct before them. The LORD CHANCELLOR — el I will not suffer a petition to he advaticed in the paper to the preju dice of the other suitors. 1 hold in my hand a parcel of letters received from you, Mr. Bruce (throwing them into the area of the Court), direct ed to me out of Court. I take this opportunity of once mote expressing my disapprobation of this course. Must there not be an end to all that belongs to a Judge if he is to be addressed out of Court on what belongs to his judicial seat in Court. On verusing those letters. which you, Sir, most imploperly addressed to me. I find one, com plaining of the conduct of his Ilonour the Vice- Chancellor, and on the occasion you complain of, I say, that his Honour acted with the greatest mo deration in not 'maim; committed you to prison for a contempt of Court. The contents of the letters are ototlinig short of a libel on the character of that Learned Judge, and I cannot leave this sub ject without übtierving that it is a very serious offence f.r any person to comment in a pri vate, I was going to say in an underhuild man ner—mid. perhaps. the expression would out be too hatch—on the Judge of a branch of the Court to the Judge at the head of it. If an op tical comes from the judgment of say branch f this Court, I trust 'it will be allowed rue on all hands that I pay no respect to the person who wise the original judgment, but 1 correct it if I think it is wrong, and God knows but the correction may be also wrong, but I do it to the best of guy honest judgment, Hod if 1 reverse the order of another Judge he is entitled to the same protection. for no person will doubt but he made it according to his limiest judgment. Justice shall be done to you, Mr. Bruce, with the same impartiality as to any other suitors of the Court, but it is my determina tion that I will not give undue precedence to any petitiiii.." Mr. 'lnca observed. that if the two Petitions did not come on to he brand together. it would lie of the hind 11111101 H consequence to Ii i iii , OS trio• bills of imbenneot had been found against sixteen of the conspirators.
