MhS. MOUNTAIN. MARGATE, SEPTEMBER 24. (FXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.) Among the numerous visitors of tins gay place is Mrs. Mountain, and I do assure you the town has tkrivrd nut only pleasure but advantage from her presence. This Lady, whose private worth and pro fessionel talents have long rendered her a favourite with the public, has found here a most numerous acquaintance, and is much noticed by the first circles. At the solicitation of a number of persona of this class, she has sung for the benefit of the Ge tters! Sea Bathing Infirmary. She was at first obliged to refuse the deputation of gentlemen who waited upon her to request her assistance, her name hatiu t : been announced to sing on the following vrehing, for the benefit of an old friend, for which she hid kindly volunteered her service. She inPUI , . ea them, however, that being at all times anxious to promote the success of needy institutions that had benevolence for their object, that if the gentle man for whose benefit she had volunteered her arr. vices would give his permission, she would most gladly contribute the aid of her humble talents. Mr. Tinny, the friend alluded to, having con sented, a few short bills were immediately circu lated, announcing, that Mrs. Mountain had in the most handsome mariner yielded to the solicitations of the Trustees, &c. of the Charity, and would sing one of her favourite songs at the end of the second act. She sung " Had a heart." Her re ception was, as may be supposed, flattering. The house was crowded with all the fashion of Rams. Kate and Broadstairs, and she was most raptu rougy applauded. 1 have just seen the list of the new Drury-lane company, and, I do assure you, much surprise has been expressed here that Mrs. Aluuntaiu's name does not appear in it. This lady is one of the few, the very few, members of the profession who unite the charms of sense and sound. I know no Polly, no Rosetta, to compare sith the sweet Rose Mountain, and the display of for vocal talents, which I have junk witnessed, in creases my surprise that she is not now delighting the London public at one of the Winter Theatres. Mr. Ii riot positively proceeds to America. The penally of 1,0001. was tendered by Mr. KEAN'S Solicitor. in the presence of two witnesses, to Mr. I.l.LisToN's agent, in the course of last week, and vis l) him refused. It is said, that Mr. ELLts liiN has been legally advised to bring his action for dinniges. It is not yet settled, whether Mr. K EAN will sail from Greenock or Liverpool. lle will lie accompanied by Mi. HUGHES, late of the Drury-lane company, who has long been his most coufidenttal friend, and by Mr. MILLER. who acted as his dresser at Drury-lane. Mrs. KLAN remains in town. The lion which was presented, some time ago, to Mr. KEAN, will be, pro tempore, lodged in Exeter 'Change. . . . Mr. BRaHAM is busily employed in composing the music for Mr. SOANE'S new opera, founded on the novel of The Antiquary. The musical drarnu of Guy Mannering will be one of the first pieces performed at Drury-lane. Henry Bertram by Mr. BRALIAM, Lucy Bertram, by Miss CAREW, colonel Mannerly (with songs), by Mr. T. COOKE. and Meg Merrilies, by the ur gitiul and unequalled representative of the character, Mrs. EGERTON. . Ti:e following anecdote is very honourable to the generous feelings of Mr. ELLtstoN :—The veteran WEWITZER walled on loin, a few days since, for the purpose of soliciting an engagement. He was ieformed that his request could not be complied with, as his acting days had gone by. " But," said Mr. ELLISTON, " declare on the fund to which you have contributed for 40 years, and, in iisidition to the income yon will derive Irvin it, cont•ider me your debtor for 201. per annum as long as you live." The proposition wus joyfully occPited to. Of those performers who originally stipported the tharaeters in Mr. SHERIDAN'S Srkiikd ./Or ,etandul, there is hut one now in existence—Mrs. J. P. KEMBLE, who, when Miss Horrors, per formed the part of Maria, on the first representa tion of the comedy. _ Lady ESSEX Kea. whose death we lately an nounced, was e!dsst surviving daughter of Itost3lT Duke of ROXBURGH. by EssEx MOSTYN, Duchess, eldest daughter of Sir Itouva NIOSTYN.

A full report of the Leeds Reform Meeting, :bead on the 20th instant, has heen published is a pamphlet, n copy of which has been transmitted 9.0 us by • friend from that town. The following is an extract :-- • THE DINNER. After the business of the st.ty, about 150 of the Reformers sat down to a handsome and substroti4 --- di 0000 er, served up in a respectable style, in a spa . eloua school raom ; Mr. DICKENSON, of Dewsbury, in Ilse Chair. . The principal beverage ht the table Wa4Un ' S ale, and there was no want of artificial spirits. The . glow of patriotism warmed every heart, and inanir ed the heads of the speakers with w►sdom, and their tongues with eloquence. The CHAIRMAN. in a strain of animated pa triotism. held out tu the•company the assurance of ultimate success is the glorious cause in which they weir enitiatked. _ _ . Mr. Jacssos rose and tesid—" Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, it is almost unnecessary for me to tuld any thing to what has already been Paid. for I am well aware the splendid ability which this day has been displayed, as far exceed+ mine as light ex ceeds darkness. us the sun, in its meridian splen- Cour, exceeds the twinkling of an evening taper. However, as I have thus been called upon to address vow en tine important and gratifying occasion, I shall beg ltiave to offer a few observations on our national union, which is an union of sentiment, an union of affection, and an union of interest; and I presume Without such an union as this it will he impossible to remove our present toad of evils, or prevent the possibility of their occurrence. for if we look into the world we may easily perceive no object of im portance that a community is engaged to accom plish, can possibly he effected unless they he firmly united together. Hence have not workmen, on (*fir mer occasions, joined in an union of trades, for the purpose of inducing their employers to raise the price of labour, to enable them to meet the high price of provisions? But this was only like lopping the branches of a cornet tree, leaving the corrupting root to strike forth with greater strength than before. But the political union we are now engaged in in cludes all w lid deem liberty a blessing, and valueithe happines of their country; and we are called upois., without respect of rook, to co-operate together, and make every sacrifice and every exertion in gaining our constitutional rights, and saving our country front mi litary despotism. Are there not very laudable unions formed, for the purpose of relieving their members in times of sickness ? and is not this an union to re lieve multitudes of the lehouring classes from the worst of sickness and disease—that of starvation and want—a sickness whicii moo reduces the most ro bust and healthy body into a state of perfect weak tie.s, and sinks the mind into a state of wretchedness and despair ?—and we need not go far to find persons who are suffering this unparalleled distress. I will just beg leave here to relate a true tale of woe, which a short time ago came under my own obser vatimi sent for by a poor women, to write a letter to the °Ricers of her parish, to grant her some relief. when I entered her house the poor woman was sitting. pule and delicate, her cheeks bedewed with tears, with an infant sucking at her breast ; four more children sat eatitig raw turnips; this was the only food they hail subsisted on for many days. This dreadful disease it spreading its contaminating influence far and aide, and there are few labouring families in England but what have drunk of the bitter cup ; and how, Grmtle men, can an effectual remedy be applied to this disease but by joining in an union, not indeed to set un the soup kettle, or transport them to a fo reign land ; but to gain a Reform in the Commons House of Parliament —to have a free. full, and equal representation, which is the only cureof all our evils." Mr. Jackson proceeded, in a very able and eloquent speech, to recommend union as the means of at tenni)g their purpose ; and was followed in an able speech, to the like effect, by Mr. WADSWoRTII, who thus concluded But s o me. who are our political enemies, charge us with having secrecy and oaths. This charge we deny. As to the charge of secret':, nothing can he more Like and groundless. 'We do not shrink from inquiry, but rather court it ; we rare not who comes bimetal to scrutinize our conduct. Oar proceedings are open and fair as the day. Were there ally secrets, 1, for one. would initnediaiely withdraw myself from them, for I hate that which it covert and done in secret. As to the charge of oaths, this also we deny ; fur our cause is legal, therefore we cannot have any oaths amongst us but the oath of allegi ance to our King mid Constitution. No, if we want oaths to bind oa— st t Swift let us part from pole to pole asunder; A rose like ours is its own sacrament Truth. Reason, Justice, Love r and Liberty, Tb' eternal links that clash the world are in it, Awl be who breaks their sanction breaks all law And infinite ernmexiou'." The Chairman quitted the Chair at a late hour. and the company dispersed, as is the practice of the Radical Reformers, in peace uud quietness. Bills of exchange from London on Vienna direct were drawn on Fry(lny for the first time. The inter coure has heretofore been maintained through the medium either of Frankfort or of Ilaniburgii. The exchange will be io guilders and kreutzers. and the first operation has been made at ten guilders live kreutzers to the pound Sterling; 60 kreutzers make one guilder ur florin. Bill. were taken on Fridayby Messrs. ROTHSCHILD and other principal hooks. The following letter has been received by a gentleman in With, front New Lanark : " New Lanark, September 19, 1819.

This be con siders as ■n usurpation, slut expresses his intention of taking the sense of the Lavery upon it, is otherwise, it will, h• says, be impo.a.ible for hies to curry bite effect the re. foetus in the Sheriff's Office, which be meditates. LETTER FROM ALDERMAN ROyHD'ELL TO TUE LIVERY OF LONDON. GENTLEMTA —4l have observed in the Piddle Papers of this day, a long address from Mr. J. W. Parkins, Sheriff elect, its which, amongst other things, he has taken the li berty of introducing my name, and of stating, that " 1 have openly avowed my approbation of the present corrept system, and evinced a determination to permit the uppers. sive exaction', so long disg►acefully practised is the offici o( the Sheriffs of London, to remain unaltered. Such a assertionlibellous will, 1 trust, be a sufficient apology for my availing myself of She same public method of contra dicting* statement which has been ns unprovoked as it is utterly unfounded io fact. 1 had a meeting with Mr. Par kins some time ago, for the purpose of making the usual arrangements on the inauguration of the Sheriffs. At this interview, Mr. Parkins professed an intention of correcting abuses in the office of Sheriff, without, however, stating the native of them, or where they existed. 1 replied, that he would Sad a ready co-operation on my part to correct any abuses, which could he proved to he so. The assertion of Mr. Parkins is wholly unwarranted by any eommunical ion that ever passed between us. The questions of lawsnd pre cedency will be best settled by those authorities to whose de ' claim), if necessary, they will be submitted. 1 am, Gentlemen, Your faithful Servant, RICHARD ROTHWELL king.street, September 25, 1819.
