on her first at rival, &tumult - A a•palace for leer tele. deuce, and an establishment suitable to her Ilk ! oily; but the , c were refused upon the plea (which was staged on every occasion to justify the impro. per treatment which her MAJESTY experienced) that a charge was pentliiig.and that until this was decided her MAJESTY'S condition was to remain unsettled and. undetermined. She was to inhobit a private house Car inferior to the dwellings of even substan tial citizens ; she was to have no plate because she had no palace; and even her very memos of' sub sisteoce dep•nded upon a kind of eleemosynary grsot, as alowenee (as Lord LIVERPOOL Calls is) at the discretion of her avowed enemies, Was it not to be xpected that when the charges Should have h en so far repelled as to make even the pro secutors ilietustives pray the House of Lords to re ject their owl, Bill, the earliest opportunity would have been created for submitting the QUEEN'S state to the consideration of Parliament, sod relieving her from a situation insulting to her MAJESTY, de grading to royalty, and disreputable to the cuuntry ? An oipport 'luny presents itself, a they is appointed by both Houses of Parliament for their meeting, hut the Miassie►s of the Crown, limiest, of grasitiog at this occasion to relieve themselves front the irksomene,s, as it should seem, of locir present inode of 04i pportiug the Quees, permit Parliament indeed to assemble, but by adi ;legelittous trick, a species of fraud upon the established forms of the eiinstitubon, suffer the two Houses to assemble only for the purpose of instantly proroguing them. Sac h a proceeding is a contempt upon the autho rity of the Legislature—a solemn mockery of its most solemn proceedings—a strict and cold observ ance of ti form, while the spirit of the institution is made the object of derision. There is, however, foe comfort left, that in February, when Parlia ment must meet fur the dispatch of Intoner., she Ministers will have to answer fir this pro ceediti. They will Le disappointed if they hope that the entlsusiv,m excited by the refection of the B:ll of Pains awl Notifies will be allayed Were that period.

The plot tuns thus :—At an i m p on th e North Cecil arrives 's young Havel officer, called Smelt are (Mr. HARLEY). While hr is eagerly remounting. Ineak'fast, and the horses are hastily getting reedy for his chaise, a military acquaintance, captain Flank (Mr. tinsseu.), en. tent, to whom Swiftsure makes known th,it he is going to !:retire-green to marry his dear Maria (Miss Saterthoa), tut heiress of twerit'y thousand pounds—that her guardian, Stomps (Mr. GATTIE), is running after him under the title of Mr. Sensiiive. the iilocooded husband of his sister (Mrs. HAIL LOW E), with 116 sister and ward in the same coed, with him. 0.1 expressing Ina triumphant antici pations as to the result, lie lorime•is to examine hi s pocket-took, and 10! he rinds his ' en pound vote to he no higher in value then one. Ills military friend, instead tit aits.s.itig his neces allies, goes off, f ir owing a pull. In the midst of his distress .%rantps end his patty arrive. Swill sure puts iiia),:ll to bed on pretence of illness ; Stumps is introduced to his bed-.pile, an d ~,j,ir es, e s low Mc Air. Sensitive, but the room is dark end the curtains clopely drawn. The patient is Ile. lirious, and while Stamps is listening for the next rasing fit„Cicifisure jumps nut of bed, and traiisforming Inumelf into the Ductor, con trives to draw a fee of 204 from the guardian, with which he pursues his journey, taking care to renew the chase for him on the road. Ile has before ' this nine sent to Jack Pigtail (11r. NIUNDEN), the bovitswitio of Its father's old ship, who has vet up a tobacconist's shop in th.t very town. Th e boat swain rigs" hie wife and Miss /lolly Mori/ to go and see the MPH of his former Commander, Ink ing care to have all the money in his house lodged in his capacious waistcoat pockets, with. out much tune lost in Colliiting, to relieve the exigencie, of the young hero. Findilig that lie had left the Lion Inn, and, as he imagines, without suf. ficient money, he orders a post-chaise, end follows him with his whole squadron. Captain thank sup poses that his Irwin], Swiftsnre, will not be able to achieve the match with the heiress for want of money to carry hint forward, he resolves to substitute him at Gretna-green, stud runs off in another post-chaise. Stumps and his party have already resumed the 'pursuit of their fugitive. The separate groupers change horses at the New Inn oit the mail, with t any thing occurring but the mere display of humour from the various cliarac. ter., Arrived at Gretna, they are all lodged, of course, at the acute 1110, amid a great complexity takes place in the plot from the game of Mill purposes, at which they are severally playing.— The couclurion is the marriage, by mistake, of Hank with Dolly Pigtail (Ths. Oulu), hi the seine garden, and at the same hour, that Swiftsure is united to the heiress. Mrs. Sen sitive still misses her husband, but the parties are reconciled, and the story ends happily. The first act met with complete success. 'file latter part of the second act is encumbered with ch. commences. which thicken without benefiting the plot. There is room fur curtailment, which will, no doubt, be applied. The dialogue is light, amid in a great measure free from the fashionable offences of pinning end sentimentalisiog. The acting Wes perfect. If any preference could be fairly assumed it was on behalf of Miesifsan and HARLEY. The applauses greatly prevailed on its announcement for repetition, and there can be little doubt but that with the alteration before alluded to, it will become highly attractive. The situations are in general well calculated fur effect. The 'twee is full of lively and agreeable business, and the performers evinced great judgineut ill using these opportunities. The piece is attributed to the pen of Mr. T. HOOK. Lord Flor.t.atiP ent.itsined a party of his dia.. titiguioheri foieials yeaterday, at his residet•ce to OA Burlington-atter!.

On the seenad point, wee of opinion, that the Jury ought to have bad, some sod of explatiotioti of whet was media by gross negligence. That these was here a great fie gree of negligence was clear front this, that the. Defendant had placed a man to watch the coach as it stood in the street, who had neglected his duty, and suffered the parcel to be stoles. Fie did not think the case of Gibbon a. Prytiter. as de cided by Lind Mansfield, was at all inconsrstent„ hot rather confirmed his opinion. If there hail beta any thing to lull the carrier as to the value of the patcel, that would be fraud, as Iu Gibbon o. Pay aster ; but to the present case there had heeterro attempt in give the parcel a mean appearance, or to deceive the carrier as to its value. For three reasons he thought there ought to he a new trial. Mr. Justice H01.5101'1) was of opinion, that the manner tat which the parcel was left, as if it was to be taken by the carrier as of coarse, was as much a concealment as if fir had told him tlo-ie aie gurgle which you do not refuse to take, fir considered, therefore, that the verdict ought to stand. Mr. Justice BAYLEY thought in this case there was a want of fair dealing on the part of the Pla.a tiff in not apprising the Defendant of the value of the pared. The Isnot cf such imit,ce of the value operated in two ways; first, it deprived the De. fendain of that extra compeosation which he was entitled to; and, secondly, it presented him usiog that extraordinary caution which he would natu rally exercise with a parcel of extriordisorry sabre. The question of gross negligence had 'Preterite to the value; for that which was gross negligence With respect to a parcel of great value, unto not be au considered will' regard to a invert of small value. The Plaintiff had prevented that extraordinary care hy his omission, und lie lt,td , therefore, sin right to complain of the consequence of Ilia own neglect. There w.is iu this ease tin misfeasurce on the part of the Delenditut; but the 1'119,4 on which the Plaintiff had relied, seemed to him to b e all of them elses of misfeasance. Iu the present case Plaintiff's neglect he considered us u bar to a new trial. Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT concurred with hot Learned Brothers Holroyd and Bayley. and thought the whole case bud ht.-2i very propel ly left to the Jury at the trial, and therefore the rule must La discharged.
