''• I', Notts 7-praying that the Equitable Loan Bill might not pars trto a law.—Laid on the table. MARINE INSURANCE BILL. Lord BEXLEY moved the third weeding of the Marine loam ante BILL The LORD CHANCELLOR inured the clauses of which lie gave notice on Friday. He begged to be distinctly understood, that if these clauses wen not adopted now, he should propose them early in the nest Session of Parliament. The Earl of LIVERPOOL 'said, no new Company was in tended to be created, but only to do away the monop ol y which now e xisted. Counsel were !lewd, their Lordships decided against mo notony . • and the power of associating in Companies was to be grantedq co nsent. If the Noble an Learned Lord titought pro per to bring in a general law, he had no objection to it, but he saw many objections Mloaiding the present measure wilt the provisions sow prop Ile had no obiection to the principles advanced, bat he t hug the present not the season for their operation. Lord RBDESDALE considered that the present was the time to acoomparii this measure with the provisions proposed by the No ble and Learned I 4 ord on the Woolsack. If persons now entered into parmenhips, they should understand, that in the next Session they would be accompanied by clauses like those now pr m o inposed. Lord BEXLEY saw no inconvenience in posTg these chines till the next Selwiron, when rune consialeration could be - given to them ; and he hoped his Noble Friend would have no oh ;ection foe the preterit to withdraw his proposed clauses. The LORD CHANCELLLOR petsevereil in considering the proposed •cliases necessary foe the protection of the COmpedies already chartered aro the people at large. He thought the espitalists, as they called themselves, should be subject to every necessary reguktion. It such regulations were not pmposed. unlimited Companies wooles be formed. not only upon their own terms, but also upon terms ruinous to the public. The Noble Lord then graved his resolutions pfra forma, with a view of having his opinions recorded, and en order to shew all such Companies as might be fanned that they would be subject to the regulations he had pt el at some other period. The classes were negatived, and the Bill was read a third time and peartM. Marquis of LANSDOWN morel that the report of th e ev:dvese en the Irish Insurrection Act should be printed, as he would not bare consented to that measure under any other eircum- GUMMI. Lard I)YNEVOR moved the third reading of the Great Ses sions in Wales Bill. After • few observations from Lord Cawoolt.

Tho Bill was then passed, sod the House adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MO*DAY, JUNE 21. The Speaker took the Cheir at a quarter before four o'clock, and was immediately summated to the Rouse of Lord. to hear the Royal Aseent gtren by Commission to several Bills (for which tee Lads' report). Mr. RRGLIGIIA Al presented a petition from Robert Atkinson, complaining of abuses in the Post'Olfice of lreland.—Laid on the NEGRO SLAVERY. HOLMF.S presented a petition from Dingwall, praying for the abolition of neg►o slavery. A similar petition was presented by Mr. RL'MBOLD, from , :ornwall.—Lid on the table. IRISH A BSENTEF.S. C.A. TRENCH presented a petn from the gentlemen sod freeholders of Upper Ouory , praying that the House would be pleased to place a tax on absenvem. The flonourab,e Gentleman ssid, that such a regulation would materially promote the interest of Ireland ; and that if some such measure were not adopted, the miseries of Ireland must continue.--laid on the table Mr. J. WILLIAMS presented a petition from a magistrate' named Walter Honeywood, complaining of the increase of fees in the Courts of law.—Laid on the table. Mr. BROUGHAM said, 'he Vicki tate that opportudity of stating. at the desire of the Bishop of Sodor and Man, that his Lordship never presided at any of the Courts to try any cause in which himself or his clergymen were interested. surf:KANN . UATION FUND TAX. Mr. MABERLY moved fora return of the 'lumbar and amount of all the salaries and emoluments received by the severe public alerts. who wete liable to pay t:le 10 pee cent. on the Superannu ation Fund. The Honourable tientleman said, this tax was a moat unfair one, and pet' by only eighty persons in the State. Sir J. YORKE said, that the measure was proposed by the late Blarquis of Londonderry, as one of economy ; and the peculiar language of that lamented Statesman was, that " to relinquish it, would be to turn our backs upon ourselves." He (Sir 3. Yeats)) aupposed economy was what we had to depend upon, for he**. earned there was as much 'ldea of paying of the natioase debt, as 'there was of bottling offthe A damic. Sir S. WORTLEY hoped that his Majesty would withdrew the Order in Counsel which forced the payment of the tax. fie thought every thing should be done to serve hose %oho were old arrasata. Mr. F. BHXTON'tholegbethen 'Mere no persons an badly fold as his Majesty's Ministers. Mr. CALCRAFT said, that he disliked the idea of tonsiderisg his Majesty's Ministers as taking their places for the sake of profit. He betiered that they were actuated by minh'better Tho nem. Lord Camden did a noble act , by 'sacrificing B,OOSI. a yeee, to relieve the burthens of the people. (Hear.) He hope d the Home would do terry thing tartemettrectnomy, until the people were r , Mr. ELLICE said, that he concurred in the eiew whfch the Hemourable Member for Yorke ire (Mr. S. Wortley) had taken of the subject. He thought the officers who filled the higher eitua noes in the State ought to be well paid, and he did not thin:: it would be bortheneme to the people to do so. Whenever such a proposition came before theilouse he would vote for it. Mr. P. °BENI:ELL said, that he was anxious to have the full salaam given to the persons alluded to. Mr. W. SMITH said, that he could not see any impropriety in , raking off the tax of ten per ornt. lie dewed with his Honourable Friend (Mr. Calcrafte in belief.ng that the public officers had a dmire to serve their country in responsible offices in the State, and not a wish for emolument Mr. MABERLEY said, that the State was best served when they paid its public officers. If such were not done, al thaw per. eons of talent were shut oct from them unless they had inde pendent fortunes. Mr. BANKES thought the measure which he had supported on a former night, relative to the Superannuation luett, - Was a measure M . economy, and therefore expedient. Mr. PEEL said. that he was anxious to correct a statement which had been made, relative to chat he had said on the subject M Special Jurors, on a former night. lie was reported to say that • be had consulted with persons in the habit of serving oe Special 'Mien and had found them willing to co-operate with him fur the improvement of the system. Ile had said no such thing. What he said was, that he had consulted with the two persons in the Courts of Exchequer and King's Bench, whose office it was to n. turn Special Jurors, and that he had found them anxious to have the system improved. A Messenger from the Lords brought up several Bills agreed to L . their Lordships; simony others, one to enable the Eari Marshal to fulfil the duties of his office on taking the usual oaths. Lord G. CAVENI)ISH moved the second reading of the !till, and expressed Wrier in terms of the warmest eulogy towards the tioh:e Duke who wax the subject of the Bill. Mr. PEEL Expressed his norpneseence in the Bill. M r. CANNING suggeseel that the nett stage of the Dili should be to-morrow. The Bill was ordered to be committer) to-morrow. Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH presented a petition from the Chamber of Manttfactueea and Commerce in Manchester, praying the House to reeognin the independence of South America. The Hotionrable Gentleman stated that the petition was signed at a very numerous and respectable meeting, and would have been more so, it it had not been so near the close of the Session. The petition foes to say, thjt to withhold any longer countenance from such a Government, would be impolitic in the extreme. It was certain that the Independence of South America could rot be iellitenced. in any way by any Cenn in Europe. The Government of Eng. lend—his Maieety's Ministers, were pledged to do se one day or , other. On a formet night he bad endeavoltred to show that it was' sanctioned by every principle of justice. and !oiled for by every primeple of policy. The trades people of England expected, and they had aright to expect, that the usual protection of the country eheuld be extended to them in their trade. Ile would allude to the qt.:limn - it of an officer, of whom we should speak with pride that he wes a Briton, and regret that he was no longer a British officer. Never did he hear of a more gallant action than :hat of the cutting, cut of the Esmeralda. Ile provoked no discussion—he looked for no answer—but he hoped that h's reeekesty would be advised to re. mare Lord Cochrane to the rank be bad formerly enjoyed in the Death navy. Mr. W. SMITH said, that as long as Spain refused to new tin her ardent roir ince', it was necessary for then' to know by whom they were lerogniscil. But %hen she did so, it was of im. eponence no longer who recognised her. Laid on the tableoried ordered to he printed. NEGRO SLAV EBY.

Mr. J. SMITH hoped the Hon. Gendernan (Mr. Iluakisaon) ' would bring this question forward on some future amnion. Mr. HUSIE hoped that the lion. Gentleman (Mr. Iluskisaon) would pledge himself to bring in a Bill on the subject nest See- won. Laid on the table, and ordered to he pinted. Lord J. RUSSELL pre sented a petition from a person named John Phillips, formerly a letterrrier to te Post-office, coin. planing of haring been dismissed fr om his S HI h PIiOrI.-lAlitl on the CATHOLIC CHAPELS IN IRELAND. Mr. 3. SMITH rose to present a paitien from the Rev . Michael Collins, a most respectable Catholic Clergyman, Pariah Priest of Skibbareen. in the county of Cask, Ireland. The petitioner stated that the parish under his ore contained a populatiou of 10.000 souls, more thin 0,000 oh whont were so poor as to bare been obliged to accept of charitable relief during the late season of ups. tress in Ireland. The perhioner vouched for the loyalty and good conduct of his flock, but complained of the &lap:dated state of the chapel in which he officiated , and to re p air which his pour purishi. oners were unable, partly from their being compelled to pay ter the erection and repairs of the church of thc established religion. In that complaint of the petitioner he ( Mr. J. Smith) fully concurred. for nothing could be more unjust than to tax people to support a re ligien to which they did not profess, and from which they nveivcsl , no benefit. Ile assured the House the utmost reliance might be l pla-td u pon every allegation of the p etitioner, who he had the' pleasure of knowing and corresponding eith during the period of the late distress in Ireland. Mr. G. HUTCHINSON bore testimony to the respectability of the petitioner, and warmly recommended th e petition to the atten. don of the Mouse. The petition was theo ordereii to be printed. IRISH CORPORATION BILL. I Mr. BROUGHAM moved the second reading of the Irish Cor poration Bill. Mr. PRENDERGAST objected to the passim of so serious I and important a inea.ure, at so advanced a pers of the Session.l He would, therefore. as an amendment, move that the Bill be read again that day six months. Mr. BR1)UG11A31 rdmitted the force of the objection • the qu estion was certainly one of great importance; he wished to see it taken up by some Honourable Member more acqusicted with the subjects to which It related. The amendment was then put and carried. CUSTOMS AND EXCISE BILL. , Mr. Id ERRIES, on the commitment of the Customs and Excise I Bill, explained the objects which were aimed to be arrived at by the measure. It was a subject of general complaint that the present system of Revenue Laws was very complicated, and it would be most deniable and useful to simplify them. There was no less a nit tuber than 2,200 Statutes ; of these 1,700 were repealed, and :ant still remained, which it was now endeavoured to move fur in eight bills, which he would now beg leave to move fur permission to introduce. Mr. W. S3IITII said there was at present an unnecessary number of oaths; the consequence was, that they were disregarded and shaniefully evaded; in his opinion. ninufroths of them might with Advantage be dispensed with. Mr. BRIGHT approved of the intended simplification of the Revenue Laws, a measure in his opinion of the utmost importance and necessity. Mr. I: E RRIES then introduced eight bills, relative to the re. golations of the several branches of the Revenue. They were then ordered to be printed and read again this day two months. Me'llUME gave notice, that to-morrow he would mote 'for considering the }lnt Report of the Committee on Private Business, Weave to the Standing Orders of the House. SIERRA LEONE. Mr. W. HORTON suggested to Mr. C. Hotchinson the expe diency of postponing the 111011011 of which he gate notice relative to Sierra Leone and Doctor Thorpe, as no steps could be takes in lrertherance of a nreauire brought forward at so late a period of the !'Session. lie the:Tare would tot consent to give up the papers with a view of mAnnitting a motidn on the subject next Sea ion. The Hon. Member was at liberty at react to state his reasons for moving for thoae papers. Mr.-HUTCHINSON replied. He would proceed with a state ment of the case of Doctor Thorpe, with a view of siebmitting a motion on it in the early part of next Session. He would not have brought forward the subject in that House, but that he had faded, after nine years' unrauitting application, obtaining a satisfactory observation to his case. Doctor Thorpe had been appointed, in 1802, to a situation in Prince Edward's Island. I , tom thence be was promoted to a situation in Canada. on which occasion he unfortunately had a difference with the Governor of Upper Canada. In leoo he was appointed to the Chief Justice ship of Sierra Leone. lie dill not go out, however, to that anoint ment until 1811. In the discussion which took place inParlia meet relative to him, it was admitted by Lord Castlereagh, and others, that no charge could be sustained against him tie alumnae of his dispute 'with ,he Governor of Canada, or any other part of his conduct. It was not until long afterwards that charges had been got op against him, and in the mode of gettiKg it up, end in the difficulties as to the procurement of witnesses, Doctor Thorpe had just reason df complaint. It was not his intention to throw out aspersions, but it was necessary to state the treatment Dr. met with, as tkat constituted the ground of his moving fa l := papers onwhieh he intended to ground the motion which it was his inteetron'to bring forward early in the next Session. Ile thought that throughout this business the Colonial Dmartment had acted in amt.. It was arbitrary . on the part of the Governor to dismiss Dr. Thorpe without assigning remote , . lie thought the Colonial ' Determent had nu right to dismiss from his office a person who had tilled so high an official situation and one who had been high Judge ly recommended by a distinguished (Lord l'elvertons. He hoped that the HMI. Gentleman would wonder this a full notice of motion for the next Session. Mr. lIP.OUGHAM—It is the fullest notice I ever heard. (A laugh.) Mr. HUTCHINSON—His Hen. and Learned Friend had re marked that this was the fullest artier he lied ever heard. It was full, because die subject was important, and he would subsequently move the House on that subject, that an humble address be re sented to his Majesty, requesting that there be laid before the House a copy of Mr. tioulburesietter, conmining the dismissal of Mr. Thorpe. Mr. W. HORTON conceived it to be unnecessary to discuss the question twice. He would direct his attention to the subject, but he could net accede to the maim'. Mr. 11C3IE conceived that this gentleman had not obtaioni compensation, for the case was one of hardship, and it tlessrvod to be reconsidered. Mr. W. SMITH said, as his Honourable Friend had abotaissad from saving anything injurious to the character of those who were concerned in these transactions, he should abstain from uttering anything disparaging to the character of Dr. Thorpe, but he mast say that, in his opinion, the Colonial Government were correct In their conduct. The mttiou was then negatived without a division. TII E BOM BA 1 - BAR. Sir C. FORBES, after sonic observations, which were almost inaudible in the gallery. but which we understood to be lecidedlyl in approbation of the conduct of Sir Edward West, the Recorder of Bombay, fbr suspending the Barristers in his Codtt for six months, moved that there be laid before the House a copy of the regulations of the Small Cause Court of the Recorder of Bombay., esmblished in 1700, with such rlterations minims , have been made' in then) prior to the antral of Sir Edward Wait. Mr. JUNES seconded the motion. Mr. 111101 . 6 HAM opposed it. Ile was of opinion that, in the Absence of all information. it would be exceedingly unfair for the House to pats any judgment on the Barristers of Bombay. Enough had appeared on the statement of the Hon. Baronet (Sir C. Forbes) to 'hew that the Recorder had behaved with intemper ance, if not oppressively, towards the bar. Dr. PHILLISIORL said, the case was now befbre the only competent tribunal—t h e Privy Council. While it was pending, he considered it improper to allow the es ;mete statements of the lion. Mover to take effect. lie, therefore, begged him either to withdraw his moire, or defer it until some future opporturOtv. Mr. P. COURTENAV, by way of amendment, moved the previous question.

We have given, in another column, some interesting in• telligence from Portugal. The King, it appears, has com pletely triumphed over the ultra bigotted party in the State, and has convoked, by a Royal decree, the ancient Cortes of the nation. This Cortes, which has DOI been assembled for more than a hundred years, is composed of the three Estates of the Kik;dom—the Clergy, the No bility, and the People; and is similar in its Constitution to the ancient Cortes, or Parliament of Spain, like which, during the last century, it has been entirely deprived of its share in the legislature, and given way, except for a short period, to an absolute monarchy. The King, in his de cree, observes, that the Cortes contain " a true national representation, in which the people are represented by their Procurators, the Clergy and Nobility, by those o f their members who have votes in them ; that the public felicity would be promoted, not by uncertain, new, and dangerous ways, nor by means of precipitate and destruct tive reforms, which easily lead to the most fatal disorder, as experience has unfortunately proved ; but by ways al ready known, and by progressive ameliorations in the ad 'ministration of the State." This measure was veceived with great rejoicing by the people of Lisbon, who feel that they are at airy rate released from the bigotted and despotic influence of the Queen and Don Miguel, and that a representative Government of any kind is likely to ad vance their national happiness and prosperity. Desides, al though the King has formally declared nearly all the acts of the late Cortes null and void, yet he promises to retains some of the new institutions, and to introduce those ameliorations and reforms, that experience has proved to be useful to his people. The new Cortes arc expected to assemble at the latter end of October, or. the beginning of November next. The King has also published an Act of amnesty, which grants a general pardon for individuals accused of political offences committed before The ath of June, IS't. The only excuttions to this amnesty are those persons who have intintained and propagated what are called " perverse political opinions" since the period above stated. A private letter from Lisbon adds, that the King intended shortly to issue a Decree, recognizing the public debt of Portu gal. The conduct of John VI. when contrasted with that of the King of Spain, presents the former Monarch in a favourable point of view; and we trust this example will atd be lett Upon the misguided Government of the Pe ninsula. The French papers of Serurday, with the Et'. of Sun day's date, retched us yesterday. The Infant Dun Miguel, who has arrived in Paris under the tide of the Duke of Baja, was presented to Louis XVIII. on Friday. His Royal Highness wss very well received at Court, and was to dine with the King on Sunday. It is not yet positively known who is to fill the place of Chateaubriand, as Mi nister of Foreign Main. Private letters say that Count Caraman has positively received the appointment, whilst from other rources we learn that M. de Talaru is likely to take the vacant seat in the Council.—li was rumoured on the Paris Stock Exchange on Szterday, that a loan of 20 millions of stock is about to he negociatcd, half at 1 per cent., and half at 4 per cent. The accounts fiotn Spain in these papers allude to the unsettled state of the country: but anticipate much good from the putting down of the Apostolic Junta. The Madrid letters repeat the rumours of disastersonstained by Bolivar in Peru; little reliance, however, 13 to be plac4l on South American news received I by the way of 'Spain. The 'Spanish Amhassattor at l'aris, the Duke of San Carlos, has been appointed Viceroy of Navarre, and it is expected that the Count de Villa , Giegedo will proceed to the French Court as the repre sentative of Ferdinand VII. The petition from the Manchester Chamber of Com merce, in favour of South American Independence, was presented last night by Sir James Mackintcsh. It was vary numerously and respectably signed. The City e London, and the Port of Liverpool, have also spoken their smthnents on chi:: great qu•stion. The jn.lgment of dm commercial world itty therefott 'be dinsideted as passed, and we have no doubt that where the interests of commerce are so deeply invialved, it will have its due wAght iu ac celerating the recognition, by his Majesty's Government, of those States which, on the Report of the Commissioners now in South America, may appear to be firmly established. The Marine Insurance Bill, and the Equitable Loan Bank Bill, were last night passed in the House of Lords. The Lord Chancellor, pinfown, moved certain resoluttons for the purpose of rendering the original subscribers to joint stock companks responsible in their individual caps. cities to the whole amount of their private fortunes for the debts of the company. The Earl of Liverpitoltecommended Hither that a general Bill should be introduced next Session, with provisions similar to those proposed by :us Noble and Learned Friend. Sir Francis Burdett last night gave notice of ids intui tion to submit a motion this evening, on the state of Ireland. What useful purpose can this motion answer at this period of the Smsion ? If the object of the Honour able Baronet be to investigate and discuss the grievances of Ireland, why has he waited till the moment when Parlia ment is about to separate ? Why, if good were likely to result from the debate, has it been postponed till the last I day of the Session, and then brought forward on a no tice given only the night before ? The condition of Ireland is a subject which the wisest statesman will approach 1 with diffidence and apprehension. The inveterate evils of that country are the growth of ages of misgovernment and imtvoidable oppression. It has been the fate of Ire- , laud to hove her calamities aggravated by the events that have saved us from theta. Our deliverers have been her enslavers. The bitterest foes to her liberties have been not unfrequently found among the warmest , friends to ours. This fact alone would prove that' there must have been some overwhelming necessity grow ing out of the relation between the countries, for the treat ment Ireland has sustained. Happily for the empire, this! necessity has passed away : but it is no holiday work of legislation to repair the evils that have been produced ; not do we think, however it may, in the Honourable Baronet's own mind, atone to his constituents for his inactivity this Session, that he can seriously believe that anything can be beneficially done for the relief of the Irish people, by a . parting speech, or a series of inoperative resolutions. Amongst the Bills (upwards of sixty in number) which received the Royal Assent, by commission, on Thursday last, was one to amend the several Acts of Parliament for the encouragement of Savings' Banks in England and Ire land. By the new Act, a very material alteration has been made in the law for regulating these useful institutions, which will hereafter be placed on precisely the same foot ing in both countries. In consequence of the plentiful sup ply of money in the market for several years past, the rate of interest has been gradually reduced, and loans to any amount arc now to be obtained, on good securities, at three and a half per cent. This reduction in the nominal value of money, induced many persons belonging to that' class of society for wiasse benefit Savings' Banks were not established, to avail themselves of those institutions, and thus obtain a higher rate of interest for their money, than they could procure by investing it on mortgage, or in the Public funds. It was also the every-day practice of indivi duals of this class, to make deposits in several Savings' Banks at the Same time; and as they were allowed to make investments to the amount of loot. in the first year, and SOL in every year afterwards, they thus became enabled to fund considerable sums, and receive a greater interest for them than the Government securities produced. To re medy this evil, and prevent the manifest abuse of the in stitution, the present Act (which comes into operation on the 20th of November next) provides, that the invest ments of any one depositor shall not exceed the sum of 501. in the first year, nor 30/. in any succeeding year ; and that the largest sum which a depositor shall be allowed to have at any one time in the bank, shall be 200/. No anonymous subscriptions are in future to be received; and persons or so cieties depositing money in one bank, arc not to be permitted to make investments in any other; but will be required, on making a deposit, to sign a decimation that they are not entitled to any deposit in, or benefit from, the fund of any other Savings' Bank in England or Ireland. To prevent false declarations being signed, it is enacted, that every person or society shall forfeit to the sinking funds, any de posit upon which an untrue declaration shall have been made. Friendly societies are not to subscribe to more than one Savings' Bank, nor to deposit a larger sum at one time than 100/. ; nor to have at any period more than .500 L in the funds of the bank. The new Act contains several pro visions for the management of these institutions, calculated to advance the interest and secure the funds of the depo sitors; care being taken to prevent loss so the subscribers, from the insolvency of persons entrusted with the money of the bank, or from the misconduct of its olliccrs. These al terations in the law for encouraging the industrious poor to make deposits in Savings' Beaks, arc absolutely necessary to prevent a total abuse of the institution ; and we feel that the present measure ought not to have been delayed so long, since every person in the least aNtainted with the subject must know, that for several years past the great majority of contributors to banks for savior:, have been persons who were not contemplated by the Legislature when the institution was first establithed, and who ought not to have availed themselves of its advantages.

DRURY-LANE._ The tragedy of Corinhsnus was performed at Drury-hoe last evening to a crowded and brilliant audience, attracted, in a great degree, by the charm of the drama, but still. more by the powers of the lady who remains unrivalled is her art. However we may admire, and there must be a dearth of feeling in the heart that does not admire the meg ing of Madame Catalani, we cannot avoid expressing oor disapprobation of the course which the manager appears determined to persevere in, of forcing tragedy as wdl as comedy to yield to the mania of the day. There is some thing so utterly oulre in the instant succession of " Cos e . ryour unning" to an address to a Roman Senate, that either the one or theother must lose the greater part of its effect— not even the almost superhuman voice of Madame Catalani can reconcile us to the innovation. The au dience received her, last evening, with the greaust ,enthusiasm, and encored her without mercy. But the repeated calls were answered by the lady with a grace and kindness that made her doubly pleasing. The Coriolamis of Mr. Macro:ally is not, we presume, the cha racter of his choice. An actor of his talent will be supetke in all he undertakes, but there are some parts to which Mr. Nlacready can never de justice ; and, in our opinion, that of the proud but noble Roman is one. Some portions of the tragedy were delivered with powerful effect, and some of its scenes were sustained with decided ability,— but, in the towering dignity, the contempt that is called forth from a great mind, and the struggles of a mama spirit between honour and interest, Mr. Macready was manifestly inferior to those who have trodden the stage before him, and can never be forgotten. The last and the most arduous scene was probably the best, but in railing at Auliduo, Mr. Macready appeared to forget that, in a mind like the Romans, a conscious dignity would always have prevented him from abuse. The manner in which there lines were delivered by Mr. Kemble and Mr. Mac ready, formed ameiking contrast When, like an eagle itt a dore-eote, I Fluttered your votes Alone in Coekati— Alone I did it. The anger of Mr. Kemble was that of a mighty mind— Mr. Macready's was not so. Mrs. Bunn looked the RD. man matron, and acted it better. Of Mr. Pope, as Comi nius, we cannot say so much. The lefenenius of Mr. Terry was good ; but we do not think that Terry is ever other wise. The Revolt of the Greeks followed. The whole performance of the evening was one of a most gratifying nature. COVENT-GARDEN. Mr. Kent repeated the character of Richard, at this theatre, last evening, for the second and, we presume, the last time. Indeed our opinion, on the first night, was nearly made up as to the incompetency of this gentleman's qualifications to undertake so arduous and trying * part. We reserved the expression of this opinion, desirous to pardon something to the incompleteness of self-possession, inseparable from a first appearance—which, in the ass of Mr. Kent, displayed itself in rather an excess of confi dence than of modesty or distrust in his own powers. How ever, the principle of „jedex dumnatur, tke. injustice to the public, eau no longer be delayed, and the fair observance of this principle obliges us to say. , that Mr. Kent's appearr. once, to speak in " plain set terms, ' has beer eft:dere. Mere declamation, and that too of a very noisy kind, and accom panied with an ill-cultivated delivery,seems to be his prin cipal qcalifiration. The house was exceedingly thin; and scanty as the attendance was, if the play be repeated, and Mr. Kent be continued the hero of it, the manager' will have to hire even an equally numerous auditory. With Kean's admirable and impassioned impersonation ef the haughty tyrant fresh in the public mind, it was at least venturesome to make an endeavour to dethrone hint from the pinnacle to which his performance of this character had raised him. Ile himself considered it " the foundation of his fortune and his fame." To be sure, this may not be a reason why Mr. Kent should not play the character ; but then it provokes a cornparls.o (for it is by this standard the public form their opinion), aral one in which Mr. Kent, in every respect, " fares worse. The energy of Kean's voice and manner—his collectedness —lris perfect iutelligence of the part—his susceptibility to delineate the most subtle variations of paseion—fortn s direct contrast to the undecided manner, the agitation, the We understandthat his the intention of our most Gracious incorrect readings,—the very passionless tone o f the Sovereign to visit Carlsbad for the benefit of its salubrious solilo q uies , and the whole general deportment of Nir. waters, which arc of peculiar effinacy in the removal of Kent, which afford abundant evidence that the varied gone This excursion has been suggested Ire his Majesty's and internal workings of passion of the English .trer.t. are far beyond the grasp of his comprehensio n.
