I. — ` • 1 - 11 BURYING OF DRURY-LANE THEATRE. 1 We have authority to state, that every person capable of giving information respecti ng the burn ing of Drury -lane Theatre, has been closely exa mined, and that there is every reason to conclude, from such examination, that this destructive con lagration was entirely the effect of accident. It has been clearly ascertained, from those who saw the commencement of the fire, both within and on the outside of the building, that it began in the upper Coffee-room, where the plumbers hod been at work till past four o'clock ou Friday af ternoon ; and it is supposed to have proceeded From the stove, in which they made a tire to heat 'heir irons in. In this original plan of the Theis " tee, no provision was made for a tire-place in that room ; and it is known, that, both above, below, and uu all sides of the stove which was subsequently put • Op, a great quantity of timber was suKred to re ' main uoremoved. The fire turtle on Friday by the plumbers appears to have been larger than - usual ; and some hidden parts of the wood-work near it are supposed to have caught fire wiper coivstls and to have commuuicated by degrees along the interior of the wall adjoining to the pinta where the flame was first seen to burst forth. The • stories which have been circulated of an unknown woman being seen in the Theatre, in a straw bon net, and of the fire coining up from the Egyptian ball, are wtiolly destitute of foundation. We have also authority to contradict, in the most positive terms, a report that has lately been in cir culation, relative to a conviracy to debtroy the Opera-House, by means of gunpowder, ler which there is a n d the slightest foundation whatever. VIZ LADIES' sue:scam-I°N CONCERT. 1 - The second 'of these elegant entertainments, for this season, took place, last night, at the house of Mrs. BENYON, in Grosvenor-square.

This Nobleman descends from a brother of the fatness and virtuous Viscount of that name, Secretary of State under CHARLES 1. and killed, too soon for his canary, in 1643, at the second battle of Newbury. On Saturday night. as the Duke of Yoan's head cook was coming down stairs. at his Hoyal High ness's house in St. Jaines'a, his foot slipped, when he fractured hi s s cu ll, an d d ie d i s a few minutes before any assistance could be procured. Notwithstanding the Sermon preached by Don JOSEPH NAPOLEON to the Spanish Archbishops and Bishops, in the Church of St. Isidore, at Ma drid, it is believed by Ministers, that he has alrea dy quitted that city, and that Spats is, or will be speedily, evacuated by the French forces. There is no certainty of BONAPARTE'S having gone to, or arrived at Munich ; but the opinion that wur is inevitable, and about to commence, between France and Austria. continues to gain ground.

No. 8, Cuoatoo-Caoss.—A D old gentleman. who favours CANTER with his custom, makes it a rule to purchase the FIRST Ticket that is to be dis posed of, because. he says, the Capital Poxes can not then have been bought. Without venturing to estimate the value of, this opinion, ere may safely say. that acting in conformity with it is certainly attended with them advantages, that the scope of choice is noire general. and the comparative ccoues my of the purchase unquestionable. atr• Ix . sarislit I om OP CIPIIIIOIII MUNClfleolLaiti.ii ii Ups's the minutes of the lest Coed being read: Mr. Meamtver row, for the peewee of object ing to a standing order then voted, 6 ' That us Member of this Court. who holds any place or op poilitmeist under flueernment, from which he de rives an emolument. or who receives any inehine, salary, or allowance out of the public svossey. ee ceptiug Members holding cemmissions to the Lon don Militia, shall he elioible to serve on any Com mittee or Cennaission in the appointment of this Court." This order he considered as derogatory to the Court; and lamented he was not present when the business was originally brought forward as it was, h owever , h e s h ou ld content himself with giving notice to move, at the neat Court. that this standing order should be rescinded, until the sth April. Mei WAtTNII•II costesded, that it Wu highly memory to support the Resolution to uphold the indepeudeut character of the Court, which would become questionable, if person* were allowed to hotel official situations in the eity. the duties of which might clash with theft which toe seme par. ties held under Government. The Comet, bestir'. had publicly expressed their wish for a retie's. of general abuses ; and he would ask, what used 'lie the opinion of the country of their sincerity Utility were to rescind this Order ? Mr. Alderman State contended, that the Celan had gone heyeed their power in pawing /his am. lutiou. He had heard gentlemen talk 911ida is declamatory speeches about supporting •fteW ta and privileges, but in the ptesentsneasernt struck at the best interseis of farsilsys. e ward had an equ a l right to seed member. ilio dist Court, who every year we n t b ec k lb the ear* thd r id woes', and if drey could sot discover as objectionable in their Representatives' was not in th e p ower o f the Court to Vain tions sad deprive them of their privileges. tiset iO Mr. Dixiet said, that many ;ambers of that Court had been held up individually to the con tempt and ridicule of the country. (N,! Ice !) Gentlemeo, he said, might cry •• No." but be maintained that it was to, and for no other reason than because they had received a fair rautaeorarma for their losses, and to which their lidefity to the .country fully entitled thou. Mr. HAltPelt conceived that the stantrmg eider might be considered by some to include the silos. lion in which he stood. hieing received a motion allowed to American Loyalists, as edjz p by Commi ss i oners appo i nte d b y Partiaments eoutended that this canpensat i oe was *Addy 'f ferret from any received from corrupt motives ; as 'his property w as sacr ifi ce d f or pu b l i c purposes. he es had equal right to indemnity, whether it lay at the Isle of Dogs, or on the shores of America. He then observed, that dining the many years he had been in that Court, be had filled various oaces, and was at present appointed to others. and was happy in having this opportunity of calling upon these obe had served with hie, to say. whether he bid elfiegiven a vete that appeared to have been voi ded by intemst e d or corrupt motives ?or whe ther be bed not, on the contrary, on all occasions, exerted himself to promote the prosperity, and sapped the indePendetice of the city of Loudon P Mr. daces supported the spirit of the Resolution s but thought it was carried too far. He regretted he was not present when it was originally brought forward, and willingly bore testimony to the impar tial and upright conduct of the last speaker. He concluded by observing upon the situation of those Gentlemen who came within the Resolution • as it now stood, and could not help themselves. having engaged their services front the Sib of April hist, till the Sth of next April. ' Mr. GooDarnets disclaimed any intention of holding persons up to centempt because they were loyal ; he did not believe any supporter of this measure had ever broached such an idea. The ar gument* used against the Resolution were wanks and not likely to divert the nadeneusdiag. It was fur the honour and independence of tits City. that persons in public situations itheeld onm to vote with their minds unbiassed- If Goethe men wanted a moditicatiou. it might hem boos so ; but it was an insult to propose the ahatides went of the measure. Mr. HARPER explained. He did not conceive himself as shackled. as what he had received was neither boos nor bribe, but a lucre compensation. Mr. WAITUSIAN said, that ueither on this or a former occasion, had lie made any personal rake tion, a expressed rancour towards tiny individ Where u person gained a compensation for sustained, no one could consider it as a coming within the meaning of the standing As to the general arguments, he considered ridiculous. The arguments a Gentleman had upon the principles of freedom and liberty, would go to deprive the Court of power to check sinews in any degree whatever. If it were in the power of the Court to turn out • Member, surely it was in its power to direct such Member how lie should act ; and if Wards will elect persons who are not inde pendent,. who hold situations under Government, or who are embarrassed in their circumstances ; it was but proper that the Court should prevent them serving on Committees. He conceived that the projected measure was only an indirect way of put ting the maiming order altogether aside. If sty Gentleman bed come forward, and proposed that its operation should be suspended until alter the sth of April, he would not have opposed it. Mr. Maaniore said, he had only brought for ward his motion to give those gentlemen who had given security to till their offices till the sth of April next, an opportunity to extricate themselves. Mr. JACKS then mowed, as sit amendment, " That thu operation of the stasidttig ()icier should be suspended until after the sth of April neat ." ,which was put and curried.
