ORANGE PROCESSIONS. Sir F. BURDETT presented a petition from 31r. George Entice, ef Atdreaa, is the county of Armagh, complaining of the great evil vt Change procersions. The petitioner had applied to the Lord Lieutenant, from whose Secretary he had recrived an answer, thi n the Irish GOTITOTOODI had DO WWl' to stop the precessions. As ore of these annual outrages en the feelings of the Irish`nation was aoprowching. and would be celebrated. unless prevented on the 12tb ul July, he wished to draw the attention of his Majesty's Govern inert to the subject. These processior.s sometimes began at mid. rotrht. and were attended by evety circumstance that could ex. ,errtte the feelings of the Catholics. Offensive tures were played, I .1 as the Orangemen carried arms, if the Catholics were roused by the insults en interfere with the precession, loss of fife frequently ensued. The Honotrsble Baroret almost regretted that the Tn. r....rection Act did not extend to the North of Irelactl. because, if a tlitrerent measure of justice were not there dealt out to these (halve. tree, they would be transported, es the Catholics were in the South, al:en found out of their houses after sunst4-otdered to lie on the to's SUPERANNUATION FUND IN THE POST-OFFICE.

The individual had contributed /MI. to the superan re Won f unit, and had been employed 20 years, yet, fur an hour's Loh. he had been clismissed.-Lud on the table. IRISH INSURRECTION ACT. Mr. GOULBURN moved the order of the day for the third reading of the Irish Insurrection Act. Mr.llOltliOUSE rose with reluctance to trouble the Ilouse in this sta te of the Bill, but it was such subject of importance that be ceta rot allow it to pass the third reacting witiamt making a tew remarks. When he found the measure recommended by 3lem. hers who had given the subject every consideration, he could not but feel that it was a subject to be attended to and inquired into her Parliament. It was not asking too much of the Right Hon.- fer.thimen to say that they ought not to conic down to the House of Parliament to know how Ireland should be governed ; to him It vies rot astonishing if any Member who, like himself, knew hut little of Ireland, should ask why this was done. The Committee orate. in their report on this subject. that the labour they had to per. form was too great for the short period that had elapsed since their appointment. It was trite that the time had been short, but the; evils they had to remedy were well known and of long duration. He thought it ridiculous that the Committee should propose the genic:nation of the Instate:lion Act as a sort of stop-gap. If toe House were to judge from what is notorious in the state of Ireland, and not from the information laid before them by the Shetorittee, they would never come to such a conclusion. He mold never agree with those of his Honourable Friends who had recommended the Insurrection Act to be continued. Some persons wee: anxious for the meaeurewhich had beer very properly enomi noted unoonsiitutior.al" by the Horne Secretary, and were anx ious for it in order to procure a Committee, but he would rather say, let Tithed have neither the one, nor the oth.r-neither Committee. nor Insurrection Act. If the statements which had been made re spectir* Ireland were true, the Irish were the most ferocious people tin the face of the earth ; hut he appealed to all who knew anything, of the country. to testify that such was not the case. It was evident that the sympathies of die Irish were with the people, and not with justice. because of this most uneonatitutioti law. He did trot doubt that if there were a soldier to control every citizen in the country, there would then be tranquillity; but, he would ask, valid it I'e called in such a case-government ? He hail read a ra per, which he would not rame, but It had peen patronisnl by cler getntm, and hod recommended the extirpation of all the Irish in tr.e South. Proofs were abundant that though coercion had, in reany cum, removed the power, it had never removed the will, to oppose aothority. From the audientic accounts, it was clear tilst the • comber ot rertons arrested under the Insurrection Act was set great, sod the convictions were so few, that an ave rage of twenty-three insoceot peaces were punished, for one who was guilty. Now he arould ask, was that a law to be tole rated ? He knew the case of a men who was convicted for being eat at night, and it was proved that he was only playing cards. Tue Magistrates deemed it WS isable to state his case to the Lord Lieutenant, for the purpose of procuring a pardon ; but the person who was entrusted with it delayed its delivery, and the unfortunate eard.player was imprisoned for two months. This was one case, and doubtleas hundreds equally strong could be quoted. He knew tl.at there was something radically wrong in the Act ; in some places it was not acted upon, in others it was deemed proper to act contrary to it; and 3lr. Sergeant befroy thought it knotty to make ure prosecutor prove Mat the prosecuted was pill of some crime. fie (31r. Hobnousel thought that, at all events, the operation of ilea Act should le, suspended for six months, and it could be re. wetted to if it were found necessary. Much had been said against the Cathodic Association, but, in his opinion, there were greater groan& of complaint 'gannet another, to which several Menihers of the House lieWinted. and Members who had charged the Cattle * lira with insurrection-he meant the Orange Avocation. The proceedings of the former were public, and took plate by day ; but thy...! of the latter were secret, and their m ee t ings were h e ld by night. The Hon;Gentleman concluded by moving, that the Bill Le read a third time that day sic months. • Mr. GALCBArr hoped t-ot the Insurrection Act would be Wooed cut - from the state:ohm* as soon as the state of Ireland would permit it. Rut the ground on which he supported it two year. ago, was the ground an which he supported know-necessity. Desna perteetly convinced that if the Act had not passed, bad as the vete o f Wand is, it would have bees much worse. He• theuerht the law, objectinetable as it was, was still the best that mold have been enacted for the state of socie in that country. It had always been with reluctance that he hied voted for the law ; !rut feeling towardi dale who resided in Ireland, he thought it int posiiii•le to kayo them without some such protection, and he did nos know eery so elEcacieus. It was bile opinion that so long as the alibi:let was divided on subjects of vital imsortance to Ireland, so . long would the Insurrection Act, and Acts of a similar nature, be necessary. tlolonel TRF.NCH supported the Bill. fie-send HART said, that the best and least expensive way of preserving the 1-savior Ireland, would be to surround several of the roost populous of the towns and villages with walls, and towers to • iv placed no them at certain distance.. • !sir F.

The Ittoile has another bundle of alarming intelligence from Mouth America, consisting of fabricated reports extracted from the verveivas columns of the Ma drid Gazette. According to these reports, the Royalists had nearly triumphed in every state of the South American Continent, and the wish for a re-union with happy Spain, now enjoying so many blessings, was so ardent, that the hare appearance zf a faw Spanish vessels would call up the inhabitants of 700 leagues cf coast in favour of the " be loved Ferdinand." Why will the Etvik give circulation to statements, which it must know are equally ridiculou s and unfounded. In tin is this eternal harping kept up on the subject of South America. The supremacy of Old Spain over her once prcud possessions is utterly gone, and no fabrications of the .Madrid Gazette, or the Etvik, can recall it: they might as' well seek to call back time again. America is free, and will continue so, in despite of Spain or her allies. The worthy Don Miguel, we find, had ar rived in Paris; that capitol will complete the morals of this " excellent" Prince. .

Letters two days later, from St. Thomas's, which we have seen, are wholly silent on the subject, and the report is now utterly dis credited. It is almost impossible, from the distance, that any very recent intelligence could reach La Guayra from Peru. The journey is immense ; it would have to travel from Lima to Truxillo on the coast, from that to Guayaquil, thence overland to Quito and Bogota, and so on to Caraccas and La Guayra, a most tedious and difficult route. The last accounts from Lima. to the 31st January, stated nego dons to be then on fcot between Bolivar, Canterac, and the Peruvian Congress, for a general accommodation. The Spanish General, who isa decided Constitutionalist, having been apprised of the restoration of despotism in Spain, had changed all his plans in consequence. It is very un likely that this negotiatidn should have been suddenly broken off, and a decisive battle fought, ending in the de feat of Bolivar, and the capture of Lima ; all, too, within so short a time, particularly when we know that both armies were considerably removed from each other, and in a country where every movement is so difficult. Every thing tends todiscredit the report altogether. Some occur rences of a painful nature are said to have taken place at Marraibo, where the troops had mutinied, from the delay of pay. No vessels from that place had arrived for some time, and the result was not, in consequence, known. Exchange Ditto Acct. Ditto Scrip IN pet Ditto Acct. 114 i 16 ptTt. Vitt Srititat Vregis.

Vt En NA, J u sr t: 5.--:Sletalliques, 96.9 16.1 Bank Shares, 1147 k. Allgemeine Zeitung, June 10. LONDON, SATURDAY, Jogs 19, 1821. Tuesday's French papersarrd the Eloile of Wednesday, reached our of in due course yesterday. The Journal 1 des Debuts has not vet exhausted its eulogiums on M. de Cbateaubriand. This journal 'hews singular virtue in ad hering to the fallen Minister. Dwelling on the different re marks made by the London papers, on M. Chateaubriand's dismissal, it seeks to form from them a crown of triumph for the fallen tiscomte, and places the empty " corona]," in exultation, on his brow. The journal in question, for this purpose, seeks to revive all the national jealousies and ri valry, once so strongly existing between both countries. " To hail (says the Journal des Debuts) the news of the fan of M. de Chateanbriand with such transports of joy, England must have found, in the talents and character of the noble Peer, an insurmountable obstacle to her pro- 1 jeets ; and how must not our national rivals (this paper' adds) be delighted to see the unexpected fall of a statesman who forced England to admire us, to remain a peaceable spectatress of our successes, and to precipitate nothing in the affairs of Spanish America." will the .fonenol der Debuts put forward such bombast. The London jour nein remarked on the F rem+ linister's disgrace as they I would on any other passing event of the day ; its daily re currence in all the papers of Paris, obliged them again to notice the strife of words ; but the political thunder that mllell over the French capital was scarcely heard on these shores—the event was of too little importance to create either anxiety or exultation here. If Chatearibriand's re tirement brings with it the permanence' of a more pacific policy in the Cabinet of the Tuilleries " foot vnienr," we say for France herself, for she could gain nothing by any designs on America, and great Britain is now too powerful to fear anything from hostility. M. Chateauhriand has tra velled, and been some time, as Ambassador, a resident in this country ; from both, he must be equally aware of the resources and the influence of Great Britain, and that there is Tull cause (smother nations - to tremble When they hear the lion mar." The Viscomte never got credit for any vcry profound po lities, but a.nid any plans he might have meditated, a hostile collision with Great Britain, was not, we are sure, amongst them.

COVENT-GA 4pLN THEATRE. The attraction ,at this &ttre, last evening, was the! novqlty of the first appearance of Miss Nesbitt, of the i Bath theatre, in the very trying character of Juliet. It is a part, in the success or failure of which, requires no small degree of confidence in the lady who performs it, to venture her infant tcputstion at a metropolitan tbcatte. There is! no fetnale character in the whole range of the drama that j requires such numerous, and varied qualifications for its faithful impersonation. as ./.,dirt. The play is the only one that Shakapeare has written entirely on a love story. I Juliet is the one throughout that enlists all our sympathies. The progress of life is depicted in the several scenes in which she appears before tut. In the delineation of her character. is embraced the circle of all the taost interesting affections. Vie ace her in idle and innocent playfulness with her' nurse,_ and accompany her to the period of life in which She feels " the revealings that teach her true love lei adore," and, reluctantly follow her to her melancholy des tiny, that ohm awaits the sad result of loving "rot wisely, , . hut too wen.' She undergoes all the frailties of passion, which requites all the resources of intelkct to delineate Iforcibly. For a lady, therefore, to make her first effort in this part, requires no small degree of courage. That Miss INesbitt was entitled to make the exertion, we admit, though we regret we cannot follow up that admission with the testimony that that exertion was a perfectly successful one ; neither was it a failure ; it was above mediocrity ; in some 1 parts it was really very good, but the summary of 1 , our opinion, upon, the general performance, may be conveyed in the" Potion one generally Las of what l is tumid " a respectable ; performance." Miss Nesbitt, i however, although not a very admirable Jelirl, is an un questionable acquisition to Covcnt-garden. To a very fine form, she unites a graceful, and ladylike deportment ; her features, though rot regular, are pleasing and expressive, and her voice is clear aad well-modulated. In the earlier scenes of the play she was all that we could wish ; her playfulness in the scene with the nurse was natural and vivacious ; and in those straws which afforded opportunity for the expression of love, and iill the sailer feelings asso ciated with it, she was happy and impressive. In the lat.; ter scenes, however, she wanted that energy of passion, that outpouring of the soul, with which the inspired bard has animated and fired the breast of Juliet. In this part she forms quite a contrast to Miss F. 11. Kelly (in whose hands, by-the-bye, this part might be left), who is not " anything if not passionate." In the latter scenes Miss Nesbitt was feeble and unimpressive; she gave quite an elaborate and constrained expression, " to the thoughts that breathe, and words that burn," in the last scene. The affection of .Joliet was not the pratilement, but the passion of love. We are glad to repeat, that Miss Nesbitt is an undoubted acquisition ; and her success was not complete, only because the selection of a character for her first appearance was injudicious, and not suited to the display of her peculiar talent. The applause throughout was loud and frequent; but on such an occasion as a first appearance, noise of this kind is no test of public opinion, or proof of public approval. , VAUXIIALL. The Vauxhall Gardens were, last night, crowded to lexcess in consequence of the more than usual splendor of their appearance in honour of the victory of NVaverleo. Upwards of 14.000 additional lamps were displayed on the occasion, in military and other deviegs, and a scene was presented of greater brilliancy than could have been anti cipated, notwithstanding the day that was commemorated, l and the names that were to be remembered. Among the changes in the amusements of the evening we would par ticularly notice the Cennorama of the }little of \Vaterloo, as exceedingly beautiful and interesting. The fire-works were splended in the extreme, and in those also care was taken to do honour to the heroes who conquered on the itith of June. BALLOON. ASCENT. [ruaraza PASTICCLAILSI CAPTAIN BEALTOTT At_C!►CNT OF HIS AERIAL VOI . Just before ascending, the barometer stood at 29 inches 8-10 the, a urfoninete r gee d eg r ee % the hygrometer 17 dry' ; tune of starting precisely live minutes past six o'clock. Th e balloon row most ma. jestically, and we were directly above Nt aterloo Bridge at eight minutes and a half put nix. At this moment the barometer was let 27 inches 4-Ioehs, and we could observe every street of the me tropolis from Blackwell to Kensington. The scene of the environs was beautiful beyond description, anti every thing could be seen distinctly ; every Object appearing as flat as on a msp.—even the bills seemed to be sunk en the same level with the valleys. At 18 minutes past six the barotneter was at 23 inches 3.loths, and when the thermometer was at 39 degrees, hygrometer 20 dry, we past through the clouds, and getting into another current of air, the bal loon revolved gently, which caused a slight feeling of sickness the clouds while we were passing through appeared like a mist, and the hygrometer still shewed three degrees dryer than when on the earth. We experienced now a disagreeable noise in the ear, what is commonly called a " singing." which continued the whole time after, and did not leave me till the next morning. On ascending above the clouds, they appeared like a sea of frozen snow, with dark fissures between, and in some ,places the clouds opened, and gave us a distinct view of the city, and metro polls and its environs. The sky above was beautifully blue, and ' the sun shone brilliantly, tinging witlga silvery hue the tops of the wide expanse of clouds, and particularly those that rose like mows tains above the others. There were still a few white clouds at a great distance above us. The car again revolved in a current of air. Barometer at 21 in 5-10ths. The highest point we attained was by the barometer, 19 in 2.loths ; the hygrometer 32 dry thermometer 39 degrees; time 20 minutes to 7. We now heard a report of a gun, which we mad heard once or twice before. We now let MIA pigeon from a basket, having fleet fastened a label to it, on which we wrote " above the clouds." The pigeon, after making two or three circles, darted through the clouds towards the earth. Whenever we caught glimpses of the country through the clouds, the view was beautiful and interesting, but the sight of the silvery sea of clouds to the very verge of the horizon was truly magnificent ; the sun shone on some parts of the Thames, which were visible to us and was reflected beautitulle ; the river itself seemed dwindled to a small stream, so much so, that we could not distinguish any objects on it. The barometer now stood at 19 inches 3-10ths ; thermometer thirty one de grees ; time 18 minutes to 7. The balloon had not hitherto sp. peered to make much progress except in elevation, but now it wafted rapidly to the south, and a small portion of gas being let Out, we gradually commenced our descent. On repas‘ing the cbutls the barometer was 22 inches 3-10ths ; thermometer 30 deg.; hygrometer 23 dry ; time, three minutes to seven. The sensation in the eats still continued. We now descended rapidly, which gave a disagreeable impression of space without any cbject to rest the eye on. the voice seemed weaker and lower than either above or below the clouds. The balloon again revolved, anti at seven o'clock every object became perfectly distinct, the sheep appeared like dots and the trees like bushes. In three minutes after Mr. Orahain 'threw out his grappling irons, and the balloon descended with surprising rapidity, and we could see the people running to meet us. The grappling-irons caught a hedge first, and next a large oak tree, which brought us in a field belonging to Mr. M. Wilke, in the pariah of Tunbridge, one mile from Iliodstone where we safely arrived, without the least injury being du ne t o the balloon Or Cat. WI xnsoa (Fainay), Jerre ls.—The King, lecompa flied by his visitors, left the Royal Castle this morning. soon after twelve o'clock, in four carriages and four, aril passed through the town, on his way to Ascot races.—The Duke of Wellington left ' the Castle for London yesterday. Yesterday evening the band of die royal horse guards at tended. and played at the Royal Castle. Yesterday the Ifueliess of Gloucester, the Princess Au gusta, and the Princess Sophia, visited the fluke and Duchess of Clarence, at their residence in the Stable-yard, ' St. James's. The Royal party partook of an elegant tlejeun. l'rince Leopold honoured the Earl and Countess of Grosvenor with his company at dinner on Thursday, at their residence in Upper I:rte.:tailor-street. The Earl of Kerry (eldest son of the Marquis of Lanz down), we are happy to hear, is getting better. Mr. Sinclair made his first appearance at Dublin on Tuesday last, in the character of Orlando, in the opera of The Ccldnet, and was extremely well received. We perceive that Mr. Spring, the Box-book-keeper of Drury-lane, takes his benefit on Tuesday next, when the whole talent of the company will be displayed. We trust that Mr. Spring will be rewarded for his unremitting at tentions to the public, with that which the performances alone must command—a bumper. A literal translation of Sheridan's School fir Scandal, without any alteration in the intrigue, characters, &c. has been lately announced in the bills of the theatre at Ver sailles. This piece is to make its appearance the end of this month. It is a novelty to see an English comedy per formed in French without paraphrase. Several inhabitants of Paris and Versailles, and a number of English families have already hired boxes for the first representation. The ' theatre has been newly painted and richly embellished, and lit is reported the company of performers arc very respect ' able. BUENOS AYRES. Yesterday we received an oflicial decurletit Ayres.

Sett,—lf a meeting, to consist of one Churchwarden rOver. seer from each parish could be cenvened. at any central rat of the metropolis, for the purpose of tarrying into erect say prOpOSOI plan, of rendering the different publio charities for the sick sad maimed pour more available than they ate. under existing regula. thins, I should be happy to meet them, and I have no doubt that I should be able to convince the meeting, and the public, of the con. plete efficiency of the plan, to the full extent held out in my origi. nal communication on this subject. In the meanwhile I beg pa. mission to add a few additional observations, which will gristly tend to clear the way for such a meeting. 1. I entertain no doubt whatever of being furnished with a copy of the latest list of the Governoes and Subscribers of each hospital and dispensary in Isor.dco, for the pumoem adverted to. 2. I would suggest the propriety of confining the plan to the hospitals and dispensaries ifordiag, relief to the sick peer only, ' and which will not exceed forty tire in number. 3. If all the parishes in Ismael' were to unite in carrying the plan into effect, I think I may safely pledge myself that it can be done at about the small expense of forty shillings to each parish, and which will be the principal expense atteeciing it for a period of three years, when it may again be necessary to print a new edi tion of the street-lists. If, then, we can procure th: Dths 7e a ratios of one hundred parishes, Cr wards in establishing this and each to subscribe forty shillings, a fund of two b point& would thus be raised, which I find, on history, wMI be lay solliv cient to defray the expense of printing, two brusdrall espies of each of the forty-five lists, allowing two copses to each perish, se ward. d. Instead of the Vestry Clerk, or any paid officer of the palish. being required to keep these books or lira, and to furnish the in forffiation to the poor when called upon, surely, in these days of extended education, there will be found in each parish work.boose NOM honest, trusty. and intelligent pauper, who could be directed to attend three or four hours every week.day for that purpose. The keeper of the watch.house or work-house.gate, indm4 might keep the lists, and give the information required. 5. As each parish or ward has its vestry clerk's office and watch house, why should not either of these be an impoorime place*, keeping theselists in. and for the pars seimmi is weft so f art the necessary information during the pekoe owed es melte" ' Front the above short statement, then, in sedition to my 4111_110111 letter on the subject, it will appear that the_rinfing i s WIIS literally the only expense attending the estahlidnialln d st i r and which cannot, as I conceive, be put to melpeadee the advantage, thst are surf to accrue from its adoption. Since writing the above, I have seen a Letter addressed to the Editor of the British Press, signed 11. A. The limonite ma. mined in it are quite natural on a cursory view of the subject, mid under the impression which the writer explains. I trust, however, that the above observations will be found to remove the difficulties he points oat ; part of which he will perceive have arisen from his mistaking the word street, for sheet. In my onginal letter in the Gentkntun's Mago:ine, H. A. will find the expression to be street lists, and not sheet.lists, as he has written it. I beg, however. to offer my thanks to that gentleman for the notice he has kindly taken of my letter, as it is only by discussing the subject, and con vincing the public of the utility of some such plan, that we CIO expect to do what is our mutual object—benefiting the puma classes of society. A. C. 18. . TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRES& Prison-room, House of Commons, June 18. Sts. —l have read in your paper Mr. Owen's letter, complaining that Lord baud Male had declared Mr. Oweres plan to be worthy only of contempt; and saying, that his efforts with Parliament having failed, he, himself, was about to commence practically. It will be rememberal, that Mr. Owen stated, prior to his int meeting of last year, that nothing more was required to relieve be. land from distress than, " to unite and employ the peoples" and, that I appeared at his meeting, offered to unite with run, and la. boor till Christmas for 3a. per week. 81r. Owen held my offer in contempt, and would not engage. How, then, should he expert any thing but contempt from others ? The fact is, that I inteedid practically to illustrate the vanity of his expectations by his own conduct. At his second meeting, seeing that the farce of relieving &stress in 'rebind was carried on by well dressed people gravely listening to an Orator, who, seated in a chair, threw out nonsense, with a table before him exhibiting the King, the Nobles, and the wealthy classes 'comfortably arranged, while labourers and pau pers were flung aside as so inuch rubbish ; I protested, is the name of the labourers and paupers of England, against the abomi nable triflng of the Meeting. The public, I think, may new re flect upon all this to advantage ; and, perhaps, it mar go so tar in proving me more sound of mind than Parliamentary Doctors ion. gine. Hut. Sir, Mr. Owen's practical endeavours are more wonky of notice than his hopeless visions. lest April, having gone to snit my tinnily, in Scotland, I took Motherwell by the way. There saw ground staked out for one of Mr. Owen's n was ir formed that four men had begun to dig clay for bricks; and that the country people had named the place, " the New Jerusalem." As an experiment, it is well worthy of encouragement, and I hope will go 041 with abundant means. It is what )Ir. Owen should have set about six years ago, when the first subscription was raised. l'nfortiinately, he then attacked faith, without which nothing cm be done in this world ; now that he is about to 'hew faith by were. she will, I trust, return to his assistance ; and he has my most homy good wishes. ROBERT 11.101.1iL11. THE OrNnLc JUSTICES.—Our readers will doubtles 4 recollect the statement which we laid before the public some monies since, respecting the treatment received hy a poor fellow of the name of James Baker, residing at Glatithoine. near Our,tlL. It seems this man was in.:riled of being ratherde.rferoys amongst the pheasants of the Lord Pricy Seal, and too cautious in his ma. DIMWITS for the quick-sighted gentry paid by the Noble bad for the are of those previous animals. Rut to leave Baker, during the whole shooting season, in undisturbed posseeine of his liberty, was too muds to be endured. It was dimmed Itf one of the keepers some weeks after the deed was committed, dies Baker hail rut from an ash tree a dead bough, un d er circumstances of no moral guilt. This was quite enough. A warrant fro) the Reverend Justice is quickly despatched—the culprit had up—lee bough valued at Is.
