Dispatches from lord CATIIdART were received this day by Government, but we do not under. stand that any Bulletin will J issued, a their contents will be cotniuu► icated in an Extraordi nary Gazette this evening. The Cabinet Ministers and the other distin guished characters, resumed their sittings yester day mornin; at ten o'Cloel., at the Secretary of State's Office for the Home Department, bite hall, having been sunnnonabyorder of Viseount SIDNIOUTIt on Tu.-sday night.• There was near ly the same attendance as 'on Tuesday morning ; they did not remain in such clue deliberation as on ' . .1 1 (.--.day, several of theth' frequently, going in and out of the office ; they did not leave the office till near two o'clock. After they had broke up, summonses were issued by order of Viscount SIDMOUTII ‘ for their meeting again at nine o'clock last night. By a ship from -Malta we baYe letters to the 27th ult: Constantinople was free from the plague, but not before 275,000 persous had fallen vietifus to it. Some French Agents had arrived. at Malta from Naples to purchase colonial produce. in . order to forward it direct from thence 'to dig ports in the Adriatic. , Mr. CATLEY, Mr. krcutsort, Mr. BENSLEY; and some of the other l‘Tembers of the Committee, attended on Tuesday afternoon at the House of Commons 'with tke General London and West- . minster Petition against the Catholic Claims, which was presented by Sir WILLIAM CURTI'S. Bart. : it was signed by sixty thousand eight kin dred and forty.one persons, and was upwards of six hundred yards long. Sir WM. tuaTts pre sented at the same time similar Petitions front many of the parshes within the metropolis, whose inhabitants had not signed the General Petition. The .concert for the' benefit of Dr. CaLunTT, which took place on Monday night in the Great Room at the Opera House, was attended by so runnernas an audience as to testify the high re spect iu which his talents and character are held, and it is with much pleasure we add that he is so fully restored 'as to be entirely sensible of the compliment which was paid to him owthis occa sion. The concert was exquisitely performed, and was'rendgred more pleasing by the considera tion of the object 4t view, and that the efforts of all the great talents which supported it were the gratuitous tribute of friendship, WOO! FXT.'•7:rMr. COATES, whose persevering abstirditiet, can only be excused by the motive as signed by him for appearing upon the Stage, viz. a desire to assist distress, came forward last night at this Theatre, far the benefit of Mrs. Ctmarty,, widow of eItERRY, the Actor. When we COM pare the efforts of last night with that recently made in the same cause by'Mrs. SIDDONS, if it he not an insult to the latter to mention them toge ther, we must be struck at once with the triumph and degradation of -the human character.--The manner in which this unfortunate Gentleman— unfortunate in feeling an ungovernable propensity to expose himself to public riilieule—performed the part of idithario on this occasion, basso often been described, that nothing more need be s.1(1 on' the subject.---There 'was the usual groaning laughter, hisses, &c. &C. but the scene was heigh tened by the person ,who performed Iforniia, .m 1 who, introduced the 'following lines in his cha racter . a Why drive you thtts in state about the tows, a With curriele and vair, the erect K cock r' A circumstance that raised the kidicole to its cull height .by its eifect upon the •autlience, and its operation upon Mr. COATES in exciting his sur prize and 4 . c:elan-tent. Both parties Caine ward, and with much difficulty addressed the au dience. 'Mr. COATES pleaded charity , as his nlO - for comingg, forward, and prOtested against the unexpected ridicule of a brother Performer. Horatio urgea the same motive, and disaVowed all intenCion to .offend CoaTi.s. At .Length the matter was settled between them, and the audi ence enjoyed the renewal of the absurd entertain ment. Triesday, at a General Meeting of the Ce49r. mittee of Ship-owners for. the Port of Landon,, was . resolved to ,petition the Legislature againsl the itchnission of ..tiatic 7 bui4 Ships,to British Re gistry. It is NOT their intention to intNiere in the question between the Port of Loudon and the Out-ports, but to confine their application,to Par liament to this branch of the sitbject, which they Consider by far the most important, as it involves COrlSider4iOnS OENATIONAL Poracy„,.which, if not duly attended to, may tend to ,weaken the Mari time Power of the Empire. Su&lea Death.—On Monday morning a young yeoman, named Elizabeth Child, about 22 years of age, called a coach from the stand, in )3looms bury-square, And ordered the coachman to drive to Sloane -street, Chelsea.
