It would seem by the Paris Papers which arrived last night, as if at hat the Spanish government was disposed to enter upon the tight political path. A circular letter has been issued, requiring the clergy henceforth to confine themselves , to the discharge of their sacred duties, instead of preaching hatred and revenge from their pulpits. All the pending prosecutions for political offences are also or dered to be stopped, and the accused persons set at liberty. The Consultative Junta has been installed, in spite of the opposition of the Couucil of Castile, and the amnesty is ecafidently expected to be published on the 13th of this month. The dismissal of UOARTI from the embassy of Linn is confrmed. He is forbidden to return to Spain for tiro yean, during which he will receive a salary of 40,000 reals (about 43014 Among the consequences of the ascend ancy of M. ZtA BERMUDIZ and the tooderate party, may perhaps be reckoned the intended departure of the Portu guese Infanta of Beira from the Court of Madrid, where she was one of the.strongest supporters of the Apostolic Junta. The Ferrol expedition was positively to leave that port on the Ist. inst. If FERDINAND has sufficient firmness and integrity to persevere in the course be is oow taking, he may yet live and reign in tranquillity ; but if lie re lapses once more, he will infallibly be lost beyond re demption. Advice's from Zante state that the S tut has been repulsed in another attack on klissolongbi To counter bular.ca this success the Greeks have to mount the loss of the military talents" of Mr. TOWNSIND WASHINGTON and his confederate, General Recite. Commodore Ha nn...con, since his return from Hydra, has been making manifest the principles of neutrality on which the English Government is acting with regard to the Greek war. He has refused to second the applications of the Austrian C:13:MIIIIder in the Levant, for the restoration of some ves sels captured in the Egyptian service. This even-handed mune has had the of of inducing the Austrians to give police, that vessels in this situation will not in future be protected as formerly. If in this manner the example of England should induce the other powers to observe a real and bond fide neutrality, more will be gained to the Greets than by any assistance they could receive from this country. short of direct military support.

AIADIUD, VIPT. 26. The Minister of Grace and Justice has just issued two Circular Notes. which carnet fail to coneoLdate the peace and tranquillity cf the whole kingdom: the first, addressed t• the Archbishops and Bishops, says, the heart of his Majesty has been afflicted on learn ing that in some churches the pulpit has been abused, to maintain \steed and pritate revenge. His Majesty calls on the Prelates to tats care that henceforth only words of pence be heard In the Temple of (iotl 4 and, as Protector of the Catholic religion, his Majesty threatens with severe punishment every e.ccicsiastie who rhea be am% icted is future of having abused the sacred character N she ministry to keep up hatred and discord. • - .condoaddranted to the sapient judicial suthoTitiee in the . provinces, orders them to stop all proceedings for political trans- I grunions, and to set the accused at liberty, whose number is al ready extremely reduced. The Consultative Junta of the Oovernment was installed yester day. As the number of the members is not yit complete, and many Gilboa! already named are in the provinces, the Junta could not divide itself into sections, but the members who arc at Madrid, will nevertheless Continue to meet, and to forward the Familiar!' proceedings. The atte:itinn of the public is now turned-to the amnesty, which it is said will be pubtailied, the 13th of October, instead of the Ist, which was proposed. It i.e said this amnesty will have no excep tions, but of some persons who will in designated by their names. . CORUNSIA. SEPT. 21. The expedition for the Ifavannah hes not yet sailed from Ferrol.

M. Ilfackau, M. de St- Crieg, mad tour Ministers were present at the dinner. The Envoys, soon after their arrival, had an audience of the Presidint of the Council ; they were then presented to the Minister fur Foreign Affairs, and successively to all the other Ministers. TRIESTE, SECT. 28. (EXTRACT TROY. A PZIVATE LETTES.) • Commodore Hamilton returning to 'Smyrna, from his visit to Hydra and Napoli, has declared to the commanders of the several European squadrons, that the neutrality observed by England is founded on the equal application of the principle's of the law of na tions to the belligerent powers; that he had just displayed his severity towards the pirates who abuse their flag, but that be could not afford the slightest support to those European weasels which, by an abuse no leo blameable of their neutral Bag, attempt to violate the blockade regularly declared by the GreA Authorities. or to assist the Turkish Admirals and Generals to convey troops and arms to the territory occupied by the Greeks ; that such conduct on the part of the neutrals can only lead to perpetual disorders, by authorising in &manner reprisals on the part of the Greeks. It is also said, that he has declared to Major Accurti, command ing the Austrian squadron, that he could not comply with his request to second applications to the Greek Government for the restoration of the Austrian vessels brought into Napoli di Ro mania and detained there, became; nut-the fsrinciples acknow ledged by England. they were taken in a manifest breach of neu trality.

New York papers to the 17th ult. From the Washington Journals we have an account of the parting interview between the PREIMENT and General LA FAYETTE, who, it will be seen by our extracts from the French Papers, has arrived at Havre. The American fri gate, Brandywine, in which he performed the voyage, is now lying at Cowes. The concluding scene of the Gene ral's visit to the United States appears to have been of a brilliant and imposing character. The Georgia dispute is f'; the present suspended. We shall probably hear no more of it, Governor Taour, instead of "standing by his arms," prudently resolves to postpone the survey of the In dian lands until next year. Not content, however, to leave the ground without some salvo to his dignity, he rent a final communication to General GAI Nes, informing him that their correspondence was at a close. The following is an extract from the General's reply, which was published in a newspaper : " TO HIS EXCELLFNGY G. M. TROUP E &C. • . •• w "lam an officer of the United States, of which Georgia is an honoured and an honourable tnesnber--my lawful public duties have called me into this State, where, yielding due homage to her laws., and those of the United States ? I find myself possessed of ample privileges which depend not upon the whim or caprice of any individual —no, not even the Goveanor ! with whose correspondence I confess to you, Sir, I have not been so much delighted or instructed, as individually to wish for its con tinuance. But however unprofi.able your correspondence may be to me individually, yet the respect due to the office you fill will not permit me to yield to the non-intercourse which you have, without authority, presumed to 'direct.' On the contrary, Sit, I have the right as a citizen, and the additional right as a public functionary, to address you: and shsuld my official duty require that I should at any time aediess the Executive of this State, personally, or by letter, I shall not fail to do that duty with the respect due to the office and the State over which you preside." The news from MCXICQ in these Papers reaches down to the 16th of August. The country was proceeding in a steady course of tranquil prosperity. The public repose was broken only by a Newspaper controversy between the publicists of Mexico and Guatemala. [From the en. York Garettt of Sept. 16.1 NEW YORK, SEPT. 16. Mr. Anderson, Minister of the United States to the Republic of Colombia, liar arrived in town, and will embark in a few days on Ms return to Bogota. MEXICO. His Britannic Majesty'll;clioen --- mßenegade, Lieut. Roberts, has brought letters from the city of Mexico of the ICith of last month. At that time all was perfectly quiet at that place, and the Government receiving the confidence and approbation of the people. The fortress of St. Juan de Ullna had cemmenced firing on the turn of Vera Cruz ; but as the inhabitants had left it, no damage, except to the houses, could be sustained. Some alarin had been occasioned; in Mexico, on receiving intelligence of the arrival of • French squadron at llavannah, which they supposed was sent there to Barr eon the town with French troops. But as this turns nut not to have been their object, the tests of the Mexicans may be allayed. Mr. Poinsett gave a brilliant entertainment, at Mexico, on the 4th July last, in honour of the day. We have papers from Guatemala as well as Mexico, of the latest dates. It gives us pain to see that the public writers of those countries are at variance, and that the Mexicans seem to be jealous of die independence of Guatemala. Acrimonious articles have ap. peered in the Mexican Sul, again►t the institutions and government of the Central Republic; which, however, have been resolutely and ably answered. Concord and friendship are still highly im. portant for both powers, in reference to external danger, and that enmity to their fundamental institutions, which yet lurks within their territories and rejoices in every symptom of dissention. The Guatemala Gazettes contain a copious discourse of the President of the Central Republic, which inculcates the soundest republican doctrines, and inspires confidence in the wisdom and liberality of the executive department. Light issuing in so broad stream thorn so elevated a source cannot fail to be widely and efficaciously diffused. !From the New York Advertiser:l By the way at Philadelphia. we have received out files of Mex. lass papen to the middle of July. Our correspondent, who is ■ native of the country, writes— " The condition of the nation presents nothing particularly new. Every thins is tranquil. By a reference to the convocation for an extraordinary session of Congress, you will learn the questions of most importance which are before the public." The day fixed for the opening of the Session was the 10th of Au. gust. and amoog the subjects, to be submitted for deliberation were the following :—The organization of the Supreme Court of Justice and other Tribunals ; the complete organization of the Federal Vistrict ; the administration of justice in the territories ; the refor. illation of the-export and import duties ; the law concerning places to which the right of consuming foreign goods is to be restored; the regulation, classification, and liquidation of the public debt. Be sides these, are the creation of a battalion of active militia in Chia_ past the law on the admission and establishment of foreigners ; the reformation of the liberty of the press ; constitutional points ; and other subjects, connected with the ►ecret sessions of the Congress. If there is any object to which, beyond all others, the public press should devote itself, it is to that change which is gradually taking place in the moral character of the age. That we—the people of England —are fast losing that stern integrity of mind and manners that once stamped our national character, must be visible to all who look with stedfastness on what is going on in the world. We have an Establishment amply provided with all the means of religious instruct!on—we have a national clergy enforcing perpetually the duties and doctrines of Christianity, by all the motives which can reach the human heart—and yct, in =t •~ t i • { ~ PRICE s (.

There must be some cause secretly operating to counteract the effect of their public ministry, or this could not be. It concerns us deeply to inquire what this cause may be . It was once said in the last reign, by those who were in the secrets of Government, that there was a power behind the Throne greater than the Throne itself. The remark may be well applied to develops the subject before us. There is ,A POWER BEHIND THE ESTABLISHMENT, which has for this last half century been increasing in statute and in strength, that will be cre long—if it is not so already— GREATER THAN THE ESTABLISHMENT 11SEL1. Should the swarm of self-arpointed teachers, who are multiplying themselves on all sides, and who profess to be the great rulers of what they are pleased to call the religious public —should they finally succeed—as there is every prospect that they will—in drawing aside the great body of the lower classes from our churches, in which the moral and practical duties of a Christian life are best taught, then will the debasement of our national character be complete. It is cur intention to canvass this matter thoroughly. We cannot do this at one sitting. The deep importance of the subject demands that we should return to it again and agaio, and we shall do so. We will lay bare this tree of the knowledge of evil to the root. Its fibres are spreading every where under ground, and are loosening by degrees the whole foundation of moral society. We purpose to devote our observations at present to the BITHEL Usion. It is bad enough that fanaticism should find its way into the common ranks of life ; the great and important changes which this is producing is alarming enough ; but when the navy—we shall speak of the army another 'day—when the nary are to be worked upon—and our sailors to have every sentiment fitted to their sphere of duty extinguished, as standing in the way of " their ie demption us lost sinners"--if in their sphere of service they are to be taught " the unrighteousness of thvir calling," if—and this will most assuredly come to pass—if, In time of war they should be brought to abandon the salvation of their country, as of no moment compared with " the sal. ration of their immortal surds—" if they are hereafter " to fight their good fight" exclusively under the Bernet. FLAG—and if, in the excesses of all this wild and unguided zeal, they are to find patrons high in naval rank— patronesses in exalted stations—preachers in every tner- chant ship—and missionaries in every man-of-war !—What, in the name of common sense, is to be the fruits of all this ? why, that religious discord will spread itself by de grees throughout the whole of the service; those seamen who cling to the bluff honesty of their old English habits, and the native manliness of their own British feelings, will divide themselves from the psalm-singing fanatics of the Bs T fiEr. Union, whom they know, stripped of their outside show of piety, to be no better than themselves; the latter, in their turn, will herd together, and instead of the kindly feel ings which they once held out towards the others, as brother sailors, they will shrink from them as from the unregene rate, with whom they can hold no fellowship. Already the consequences have begun to show themselves, and are beginning to be very seriously felt. The ADMIRALTY are at length alive to the danger that is approaching, and are not a little embarrassed how to deal with it. Our mer chant owners likewise look with alarm at the perilous progress of this fanaticism. The seamen belonging to this Union have, in many instances, refused to work on Sun days. The notion that this is " sinful," and forbidden by " the word of life," is spreading among them very gene rally. There are efficers among the Bethel Saints who preach this doctrine among them, and who account the converts to it as among those who, "through divine mercy, have been brought into the Church of Jesus Christ." Every Tract is loud in the praise of this system of pious revolt. Every number of the Sailors' Magazine—the profits of which, we learn from the blue cover, go to the support of these marine missionaries—abounds with accounts of the progress which " the cause of the Lord !" is making in this way. The public in general are not aware of what is going on among this active body of sectarians. They move, for all purposes of aecrevy, in a world of their own, while they are, at the same time, not only undermining the Establishment, but introducing a most fatal revolution • in the manners and opinions of that class of society over whom they chiefly seek to gain dominion. The scripture phrases under cover of which they circulate their destructive prin ciples, throw the reader off his guard. Let us suppose a RADICAL, for instance, to circulate a tract among our sea men, in which he addressed them dius:— " SOLDIERS and SAILORS ! what gratitude do you owe to the Church or its teachers ? Are you not just as much neglected as if you were born without any pre tence to the happiness of a future life? Do they not show, by their utter neglect of your eternal interests, that they consider you as the refuse of creation, and as not admitted into the rank of accountable beings ? Do they not treat you as if the notion that generally pre vails were true—that you were merely made to fight, and to fall, the victims of human ambition, or infernal rage and fury? You defend our shores, you fight our battles, and how, in return, are you treated ? We a ill tell you how you are treated. You are considered ns creatures made to be slaughtered, in order that the rest may live in safety, in comfort, and in prosperity: and therefore it is that we read of the decks and fields being covered with the bodies of thousands of our slain countrymen, as a mere matter of course, and carelessly turn to some other piece of news. Thus treated, and thus despised, we would fain ask you, Are you not justified in seeking a &Leo turtom ? ought you not to recover yourselves, to stand erect, Ind to assume your just and legitimate rank in the scale of being? You ought; and the God of battles will aid your cause, and give strength to your arm. We arc preparing the way be fore you. Ile that said, I will overturn, overturn, over turn, until He shall come whose right it is,' has graciously cast up these stumbling blocks, and removed these ob structions out of the way in some measure, so that the Redeemer's Heralds are going forth, like the voice of one crying in the wilderness., ' Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.' " If a Bill-sticker, in aidition to his labours in the service of Hunt's roasted corn and Warren's blacking, were to paste up such a placard as this, we suspect he would soon find his way to the Home Department. Let us now com pare the above with the following extract from the Sailors' Magazine, which the Bethel Union disperse among our soldiers and seamen, with an industry that never steeps:— " THE ARNY AND NAVY—Very few nations have attempted to carry the gold neirsof Salvation by a crucified nEDEEMEII toils( SOLDIERS and SAILORS who defended their shores, and fought their battles. It Is not in the nature of war to study the good of mankind. The Gospel alone proclaims ' Peace on earth, and good will to man.' The notion bait too generally prevailed that the troops and the crews of nations were simply tuado to dignify, to tight, and to augment, the glory of a cowry, by bring slaughtered in the field of battle, and dying amidst blood and groans, the triclinia of human ambition or infernal rage and Airy. That &Wore and Soldiers had immortal scuds, or that they were aceonntabk creatures to a higher Power than reigns on earth, and rnpontiOle for ' every deed done in the body, whether good or evil,' never entered into the minds , of Lien in general. As to the defence of the country, we hove considered them as creatures made to be slaughtered, in order that we might lire in safety. in cwn ftwt, and in prosperity, and we hare read therefore rf tha decks and fields being covered with the bodies ofthousands of our slain country men, as a mere matter of course, and carelessly turned to same other piece cf news. " Happily for this kingdom, the general progress of religion is influencing all classes of society, and producing a just arrangement of ideas on the subject of Christianity, and the most valuable ex ertions to promote its holy and blessed truths. ' "In this happy and glorious career it was not to be supposed that our ARMY and NAY Y would be wholly posed by. Difficulties peculiar to each department have certainly presented themaelves with an aspect so formidable, as to dismay many sanguine minds; I but He that said, ' I will overturn, overture, overturn, until He shall come whose right it is,' has graciously cast up that stumbling blocks, and removed these obstructions out of the way in some measure, so that the REDEEMER'S HERALDS are going forth, like the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ' Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.' "—Sailors' Ma.. goaine, for February, 1824. iVe leave the reader to compare these two proclamations. The essence of both is the same ; their tendency is the same; and their revolutionary consequences will be the lame. The Bethel RELIGIONISTS and the RADICAL S move, apparently, on opposite parallels, but their steps will bring both of them at last to exactly the same point. The one may pretend to be working in the vineyard, but they are sowing the same seed, and both will grow up together to the same harvest. Our sailors and .rot iers are taken out of a class of society that do not make very nice distinctions about the nature of feeedurn. Their conceptions upon this, as upon other sub jects, are straightforward. What sort of freedom different from that which they at present possess is meant to be given to those who enlist under the Bethel .flag, it is not easy to say. At all events, these spiritual Leaders of our army and navy assume a bold tone. Their followers must certainly conceive from such declarations as the following, that a stern discipline and strict subordination, is not to be their lot longer than can be helped. Tile style is so mys tified as not to be very intelligible, but it is likely enough they will translate it according to the old version : " The campaigns of your Society succeed each other without ces sation or intermission; its laurels, and laurels it cats boast, ars gained in every reason, and may be increased under all circam. stances. We MUST NOT LaY DOWN OUR ARMS WHILST ONE ENEMY REMAINS TO BE CONQUERED, or one prisoner to be released. We contend for kfieed.un of the noblest nature and the highest quality—the freedom which only the Son of Alan ^an give. Your Society cannot lodge their colours or sheath the sword of the Spirit, until every Soldier become a Soldier of Jesus Christ, until every Sailor be reconciled to Him who made the sea also; nay, still more, until every airtight in both servicat be brought into captivity to the law of Christ.' "—lbid. It will be well if, at the end of their projected cam paigns, we are not brought into captivity of another and a very different kind. What the explosion of the human passions will one day effect under all these UNIONS, spi ritual and temporal, that are every day starting up, is more than the wisest of us can prophecy. It is an event from which we have everything to fear: it threatens the worst consequences to the moral welfare of the country. As far as the army and the navy are concerned, we shall strip these active emissaries of their religious garb, and expose them in their true shape. There is no better way of counteracting the spread of this wretched fanatic's:n than by the putting the bulk of the people upon their guard against it. CITY, SATURDAY EVENING. Although this was nearly a dies non, as to business, on the Stock Exchanges, still the prices indicated renewed confidence. Consols remained steady all clay, for the next account at 884 f, and for the November account there were buyers at 884. Exchequer Bills were 21 3 premium. The Foreign Market also indicated great firmness, as the following prices will prove: Colombian Bonds were 754 3 ; Mexican Scrip 9 8/ discount ; Brazilian ditto 81 4 dis count ; Old Spanish Bonds I 7„ I ; and Greek Scrip 934 discount. Danish Scrip was also held much lighter to-day ; being 6i 6 discount. In the Share Market the quotations were quite nominal. Her Highness the Duchess Dowager of Saxe-Cbourg, accompanied by the Prince and Princess of Leiningen, after staying a few days in Brussels, have proceeded on their return to Germany. We have received the Brussels papers of Thursday. They do not contain a single paragraph of news. Not a day passes but the trussels Journals give an ac count of some tire; never were calamities of that kind mote frequent in that city. A letter dated Valenciennes, ()tuber 3, states that the triple line of Custom-house Officers on that part of .the northern frontier adjoining the Netherlands, in obedience to the instructions from the Minister, is more vigilant than ever. The smuggling of goods is become, if not impossible, at least very difficult. The dogs, which hate rendered such services to the Belgian smugglers, are every where marked as dangerous animal., since several of them have been shot, and ambuscades have been placed on the several points by which these intelligent animals entered the French territory with their loads, the danger of these zealous servants becomes daily greater. Among the strictest prohNited articles are certain works printed at Brussels and lithographic caricatures published in that city. Some of these caricatures, which are ill enough executed, have, however, found their way hither, and are privately shown. The prohibition, or at least the instruction of the importa tion of foreign manufactures, gives great satisfaction to our manufacturers in Picardy, Artois, and French Flanders, whose establishments arc daily increasing. COIIIIIIELCE or SWITZERLAND.—The Federal Directory has informed the Governments of Communes, which are particularly interested in the commercial relations with the Grand Duchy of Baden, that the steps ordered by the Diet to obtain a suspension of the new tarif of the Grand Duchy has proved unsuccessful, and that consequently the cantons which have already ordered various reprisals, might take such measures as they judge best. Accord ingly the Government of Zurich has decreed that the wines of the Grand Duchy shall pay the same duties as those of France. It is said that Thurgovia and Schaffhausen have adopted the same resolution. The measures are equiva lent on both sides to a prohibition—the vintage is at hand, and each country will keep its own wine. A letter from 'Naples, dated Sept. 20, says, that the King, accompanied by the Queen, and all the Royal Family, has honoured with a visit Don Giovanni Danero, Captain Ge neral of the Neapolitan Marine, aged a hun dred and one years, on the birth-day of that ancient servant. This un expected honour, accorded to one of his Majesty's most faithful subjects, has had a most pleasing effect on the peo ple of that capital.—Journal des Debate.

On the first trial she performed a dis tance of thirty miles in three hours and a ball; and in that time °crammed but about one foot of wood. The machi chinery occupies very little room; the quantity of water required for generating the steam is less than half a pint at an injection, and not more than a barrel was used in the passage. The experiment is considered as entirely successful. The Chevalier d'lsidore de Montenegeo, Consul Gene ral of Spain, in this port, has had the following article inverted in the Genoa Gazette:— As various journals have taken pleasure in painting in the blackest colours the state of Spain, at the time of the scandalous attempt of the Ex- Ger.c-al llessieres, stating that the Spaniards were on the eve of a civil war, and that the greater part of the pro vinces were disposed to insurrection, the Consul General of hip Catholic Majesty, at Genoa, has the pleasure to be able officially to announce, that those accounts are false, and that the tranquillity of the Peninsula has not been disturbed for an instant. I DRURY LANE THEATRE. imitation ofadded the pe- According to his own account, Mr. B oot h h as come over from America for the purpose of suppl y i ng t h e place of Kean, during the transatlantic trip whi c h t h at gentle man has deemed it advisable to make. If a cons i derable the ser v t i w l e n performers, culiarities that characterise the acting of Li s pre d ecessor, personalto tt very resemblance sidious and b t e h t e w re e f e o n r e are circumstances sufficient to fit Mr. Booth for the task he has undertaken, he will be able to keep his word —tot otherwise. As far as intrinsic and individual power is concerned—in all that regards the faculty of observing ac curately, and faithfully portraying in action the emotions, passions, struAglcs, and propensitiesof the human heart— in a word, in genius—the difference between Kean and his disciple is " As Ossa to s wart !" Mr. Booth's notion of mankind is one which he has picked up at second-hand, and it is consequently a little the worse for the wear. lie looks at nature through Mr. Kean, and has no idea of anything out of that performer. Imitation is bad enough of itself---when it falls beneath the standard of the object copied, it is still worse. Such is the case in the present instance. The performer plays Kcan, tot !Aldus Junius Brutus, .and as it happens, be plays Kean badly. His personation of Brutus is the shadow of a shade. His copy of Kean is no more a correct resemblance than the image afforded by a concave magnifying mirror is a true representation of the human face. Someof the features are preternaturally enlarged, others correspondingly diminished, and all thrown out of their just proportions. Faults are magnified a hundred &Id, and beauties rendered nearly invisible. Now this is horrible, particularly when Kean is the model, who has faults enough of his own in all conscience. But thus it fares always with imitators; were it otherwise, we could scarcely endure it better ; seeing " We hale e'en Garrick's self at second-hand !" Mr. Booth has shown considerable tact in his choice of the period for a re-appearance before an English oulience. When a poor portrait is to be exhibited, it is something in its favour, if the original is out of the way. Mr. Booth once came in contact with his prototype, and immediately discovered with 31 rs. Malaprop, that "comparisons u - c-e odorous." We are not disposed to dwell unnecessarily on the circumstance alluded to, iota it must be fresh in ti memory of all play-goers. Messrs. Kean and Booth are both known to, us only as public Performefs, and it is eti tirely out of a sense of justice and kindnesi to the latter, whom we would willingly convince of the necessity of doir something for and from himself, that those remarks hal . ; been made. On the same principle, we shall decline a pat tic.ular analysis of the performance of Saturday night, which, if entered upon, could not fail to call tip re •o'l , c ' tions and resemblances exceedingly unfavourable to Y.: Booth. At the falling of the curtain, " a quantity "—not a va s , numerous one either—" of barren spectators" in the'g.:. leries made an effort to bring Mr. Booth forward, for the purpose of receiving their congratulations. Others of the audience appeared decidedly opposed to the attempt. M r . Archer came in front of the curtain, as we supposed, to announce the performances for to-night, but, after an us. successful attempt to procure a hearing, retired. The noise, considering the few persons engaged in making i t , was most perseveringly kept up for about a quartet of an hour. The rising of the curtain for the ballet appeared to give new vigour to the efforts of the "claque-nes," and they clapped their bands, and vociferated " Booth, Booth," sit loudly, that the dancers, whose trade consists " in durb show," not being able to stand the " inexplicable noise," took to their heels, and pirouetted about their business. Mr. Wallack at length made his appearance, and, after some tint?, comparative order having been restored, ad dressed these words the belligerent parties:—" I hare made year wishes known to Mr. Booth,• and he declines the honour." The Manager retired—the storm raged louder than ever—and, after about five minutes more spent in an ineffectual attempt, on the part of the dancers, to renew the ballet, Mr. Wallack again appeared, and, hay. ing with considerable difficulty succeeded in procuring s hearing, spoke as follows: " I assure you, Ladies and Gentlemen (considerable disorden— I do assure you that the curtain had not fallen one minute when f sent to 11r. Booth to acquaint him with your pleasure. I after wards went to him myself, perceiving your wishes to be unazimou.. (Cries of " No, no ;" great disorder, and mingled applause a"d disapprobation) and he still declines—still respectfully declines the honour. • teen do no more." With this explanation4l parties appearing to be satis fied, Mr. iVallack retired and the ballet was permitted to proceed without further interruption. At the commence ment of the farce (in which the new actor, Mr. iletriarns, played Peter Simpson very cleverly) a second but feeble attempt was made to renew the call fur Mr. Booth :—it soon fell to the ground. riNDSOR;SUNDAY, OCT. 9.
