In this day's market, which exhibited a good, but not great, supply throughout, each kind of meat met with an ,exceedingly dull sale—Beef and Pork at a depression, prime small Veal at an advance, of about 2d. per stone; Mutton and middling and inferior Veal at barely Friday's prices. The Beef trade was said to be the dullest witnessed here on any Monday since the year 1783, shortly after the con clusion of the American war—many salesmen standing behind large droves of Beasts, between nine and ten o'clock, from five to ten minutes together, without being asked the price of a single Bullock. " THE tuttchirS.(THlS DAY)._ CORN-EXCIIANGE, We have a very short supply of Grain at market, but there is scarce any thing doing. We consider Wheat to be full as dear as on last market-day, but no briskness in the'demand. Barley remains very steady, as we quoted on this day week. Oats may be quoted at an advance of ls. per quarter, as the parcels in the market are so very limited. Beans and Pease remain as in our last list, and in other Grain we have nothing whatever yet doing. The demand for bonded Wheat is still confined to the purchase of a few parcels for the French market. These are picked up at very low rates, many of the holders of bonded Grain being willing to submit to the first loss, despairing, from the high luty.the Grain bears, of being able to introduce it for home consumption.

It Wai eminently suc cessful, and deservedly sO, being modified on the sterlinp works of CONGREVE and SHERIDAN, both of whom the Noble author frequently brought to our minds. The cast was as follows : Lord Splash ton Mr. Wallack Sir Harry Lureall Mr. Jones Mr. Counter Mr. W. F. men Mr. Simon Foster Mr. W. Bennett George Foster (his son) Mr. Cooper Major O'Sinsper Mr. Id. Wallack Lady Splashton Miss Mordaunt Mrs. Counter Mrs. Glover Lady Mary Fretful Miss Faucit Emily Mrs. Newcombe Jenny Mrs. Orger. The plot of this Comedy, which we extract from a judicious analysis in the Chronicle of this morning, is to the following effect The first act introduces us to all the characters, ex cepting Lord and Lady Splashton. In the first scene, Lady Mary Fretful laments that at a party, on a preceding night, Mrs. Counter was attired in as fine and fashionable a dress as herself, Mrs. Counter being the wife of a rich Alderman and a retired merchant, with whom she became acquainted when the citizen transplanted his family west of Tottenham-court-road. While Lady Mary is conversing with her maid, Sir Harry Lureall enters, and informs her that the affairs of Lord and Lady Splashton are in a ruinous condition, and that they are over head and ears in debt; at this interview we also find that Sir Harry is not altogether an unwelcome admirer of Lady Splash ton, while his Lordship was strongly attached to Lady Mary Fretful, to whom he was to have been married be fore he was united to Lady Splashton. Emily Counter calls to visit Lady Mary, and she is soon followed by her lover, George Foster, the extravagant and guinealess son of Sir Simon Foster, a wealthy bet careful Baronet of Somer setshire. It appears that Mr. and Mrs. Counter refuse their consent to the union of George and Emily. George Foster therefore proposes the following ruse for impos ing upon the old citizen and his wife :—That as lie was totally unknown to both, he should assume the cha racter of Lord Henry Drummond, brother of the Duke of Dunbar, and make written proposals for the hand of Emily, while to aid the deception, he sends another letter to the same effect in his real name. This other letter Sir Harry Lureall promises to deliver to Mr. and Mrs. Counter, the latter of whom, it should be remarked, is extremely anxious to acquire the airs of fashionable society, while her husband is never able to avoid the use of his plebeian technicalities. In the next scene, Major O'Simper, a fortune-hunter (Irish of course, but, nevertheless, a gentlemanly sort of a man,) who makes pretensions to Emily, soliloquizes on her prospects, and entrusts to her waiting-maid, Jenny, for delivery, an unaddressed letter. Mr. and Mrs. Counter, having re ceived the written proposal from the supposed Lord Henry Drummond, are delighted with the prospect of having a coronet in the family; and the last scene of the act is em ployed in the delivery of the letter signed by George Fos ter, requesting to be admitted to pay his addresses to Emily, which, of course, is disdainfully rejected. The fashionable indifference of Lord and Lady Splashton for each other is well represented in the opening of the second act ; and Sir H. Lureall arriving does not fail to excite the jealousy of Lady Splashton, in order to promote his own designs upon her ; and from him she learns that her Lord had presented Lady Mary Fretful with his por trait in a bracelet. After Lord Splashton has withdrawn, Lady Splashton listens to the addressee of Sir Harry (who professes the warmest and sincerest friendship for her Lady ship,) not because she really likes him, but because it gra tifies her wounded pride. In the mean time the jealous fears of Lord Splashton are awakened by Major O'Simper, that his lady is, in fact, in Jove with George Foster, never dreaming of the duplicity of Sir Harry Lureall. 'We have then a very good scene of fashionable scandal at the house of Lady Mary Fretful, where nearly all the principal cha racters assemble, and it terminates very satirically, each in dividual being unwilling to quit first lest their characters should be assailed by all the dear friends they left behind them. This, and some other inferior portions of the comedy, reminded, but only reminded us of the School for Scandal. This brings us to the end of the second act ; and in the first scene of the third act, George Foster, splendidly dressed, passes himself off as Lord Henry Drum mond, and obtains the eager consent of Mr. and Mrs. Counter to his marriage with Emily. His pretended Lordship is, however, placed in an awkward dilemma by the arrival of the Irish Major, who, not seeing the sup posed Lord Henry, affects to old Counter that he is inti mately acquainted with the brother of the Duke of Dun bar. With the assistance of hats to conceal their faces, and a few falsehoods, George Foster escapes from this difficulty : but he is no sooner out of it than he is plunged in another scrape of the same kind, still more threatening : his father, Sir Simon, arrives un expectedly at his old friend Counter's from the country, but George is luckily able to quit the room without being recognised. In the next scene, Jenny is about to carry Major O'Simper's unaddressed letter to Emily,when she is observed byMrs. Counter, who seizes the billet, and open ing it in the excess of her vanity and of her ambition to be fashionable by having an admirer, although she is married (like Mrs. Malaprop in the Rivals), she fancies that it is meant for herself, and that all the tender and fervent expressions it contains apply to her charms and virtues. The entrance of the Major does not undeceive her ; and while he, clasping her hand, is pleading hard for that of Emily, she imagines that he is ingenuously expressing his attachment to her. While in this equivocal situation they are surprised by Sir Simon, and when he and Mrs Counter have retired Emily enters, and the Major on his knees declares his unalterable affection for her. She affects not to be able to endure his bewitching gaze, and placing a silk scarf over his face she substitutes the hand of Jenny for her own; and when, just afterwards, Mr. and Mrs. Counter and Sir Simon enter, the Major, removing the bandage, discovers, to his confusion, that he has been " wasting his sweetness on the desert ear" (air, in Irish) of a chambermaid. This forms a very hu morous and effective conclusion to the third act.— A very good, but rather too protracted scene com mences the fourth act, in order to expose more ef fectually the empty, hollow, and deceitful character of Sir Harry Lureall, who subsequently. endeavours to bor row three thousand pounds of Mr. Counter. Sir Simon having discovered the heartless falsehood and perfidy of Sir Harry, warns Lord and Lady Splashton (to the latter of whom he was uncle) against his machinations, but they will listen to nothing to the prejudice of their dear and true friend. One of the best situations of the co medy follows in a scene in which Lord Splashton re ceives a note of amorous invitation from Lady Mary Fret ful, and Lady Splashton a similar epistle from Sir Harry. Of course neither dares to avow by whom the notes are sent, and yet each, 'Auspicious to jealousy, is eager to learn from whom they come: Lord Splashton obtains no satisfaction, and retires under the belief that his wife's projected amour is with George Foster : this belief amounts to conviction, when, just afterwards, he finds young Foster in the act of innocently kissing his cousin (Lady Splashton'e) hand. He compels George Foster to quit his house instantly, and his place is supplied by Sir Harry Lureall, whom Lord Splashton, in full confidence, leaves with his wife. Sir Harry falls upon his knees to the lady, and when detected in this situation by his noble friend, he has the address to convince Lord Splashton that he was only entreating Lady Splash ton to bestow more affection upon her deserving husband. This forms the principal business of the fourth act. The fifth commences with hiding the Major in Mrs. Counter's bed-room. He had entered the house drunk, and could not quit it without detection, and, anxious that he should not be exposed, Jenny recommended to him this conceal ment, from which he is subsequently driven, before the whole family, in some of Mrs. Counter's finery. Matters are now approaching a crisis; and in a scene between the pretended Lord Henry Drummond, Emily, and the two old folks, the marriage is finally arranged ; but some sus picion is raised in the mind of Mr. Counter by Sir Simon Foster, who, obtaining a sight of his son (who covers his gay clothes with a sober coat he found in the room), tells the citizen the fact, but cannot prevail upon him to give it credence. The young couple have agreed to take ad vantage of a masquerade to be given by Lady Splashton, in order to escape to a clergyman, with a special license whom they have in waiting; and the last scene of the comedy is in a room adjoining to that in which the maskers are as sembled, and among whom are all the characters. Major O'Simper has received a promise from Emily to make off with him on this occasion, but he blunders upon Jenny, who is disguised like her mistress, and is thus taken in his own trap. Lady Splashton and Sir Harry Lureall meet, and the formes is only prevented from finally dis missing her contemptible admirer, notwithstanding the infidelity of her husband, by the arrival of Lord Splash ton himself and Lady Mary Fretful, in consequence of which Lady Splashton and Sir Harry hide behind two curtains, and overhear a scene in which Lady Mary, in stead of yielding to Lord Splashton's suit, , reproaches him with his inconstancy They, also, are about to conceal themselves behind the curtain, owing to the arrival of Sir Simon Foster, when they discover Lady Splashton end Sir Llarrv. The latter is guilty of ahnost the only unrest and h •n urali',• act of his life in acquitting Lady iplashton of particirttion in his guilty wishes, and pur poses, and she and her Lord are finally reconciled, and agree to retire into the country with Sir Simon to een notnise and. to shun the vain society of the fashionable world. This rt solution. and the cc,nsent of Old Counter to the union of George Foster and Emily, after it is tot. !ate to avoid it, with the ridiculous exposure of the Major entrapped by Jenny, wind up the comedy. The comedy was excellently acted. Mrs. Gr.ovEtt made an inimitable citizen's wife, easy, assured, and vul gar, yet without the slightest tinge of caricature. Wm.- LAcK, as Lord Splashton, was spirited, and at times impressive, but uniformly too boisterous. Miss MoanaUNT made a delightful lady of fashion, and evinced consummate taste, elegance, and no slight portion of vivacity. FARREN was worthy to be the mate of Mrs. GLovER, though he was rather too pedantic in his allusion to trade, which it was his business to sink, rather than to thrust ostentatiously forth. But this is Lord GLEIttcALL's fault. Of JONES, it iS frith regret we would say:anylthing severe, but:the truth—however unwelcome— must out. He was a hundred years behind hand in the style and quality of his acting. As a representative of one, of Wycherley's, Congreve's, Ca - Awes, or Centlivre's fops this actor is inimitable. But he does not seem at home in aping the absurdities of modern fashion. He is too formal, too precise, too affectedly elaborate. Flis Lord Splashton of the present is too much the echo of Lord Foppington of the past century. Nevertheless, he is always gentlemanly, always intelligent. Of the language of the comedy we may speak in high terms of praise. It is chaste, spirited, sometimes witty, very frequently sarcastic, and full of allusions resulting manifestly from a perfect acquaintance with the interior of the Temple of Fashion. As regards the incidents, they are numerous and ingeniously con trived, but have too much of the imitative about them. The scene, for instance, wherein Lord Splasliton expresses his affection for his wife, when he supposes she has eloped, is taken from the screen scene in the School for Scandal, where Lady Teazle overhears Sir Peter praising her, and is reconciled in consequence. The denouement is precisely similar. The scandalous conversation in the third (or second) act lies open to a similar objection; though Lord Glengall has exaggerated, and very I,u -mourously, the richness of the scene by making the com pany go out together, fearful of leaving their characters behind them. This practical joke Sheridan has hinted in a sentence. The marriage of Major O'Simper with the waiting-maid is a third adroit plagiarism front a mas terly scene in the Old Bachelor, where Congreve's crusty Heartfree espouses the lady's maid by mistake. But independently of these blemishes, which, after all, we believe result more from indolence than dearth of invention, Lord:Glengall has quite original merit enough to entitle him to take high ground as a comic dramatist. His " Follies of Fashion" is worth a dozen trashy adaptations from the French, and at least two dozen of such original absurdities—half farce, half panto mimic—as are daily crammed down our throats by Beazsleys, the Planehes, and the other thousand and one ephemera of the modern drama. We shall hope to see his Lordship again in the capacity of a writer of comedy. He has ease, sprightliness, intelligence, the pungent humour of the satirist, and the high-bred polish of the gentleman. MR. KERN TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. " SlR,—lmpressed with a strong sense of gratitude to the public, allow me to request the immediate insertion in your Paper of the following letters addressed, with my full ap probation, by Mr. Bartley, the stage-manager of Covent garden Theatre, to Mr. Kean, as the most correct expla nation of the conduct of that gentleman, which rendered it necessary for me to appeal, on the part of the pro prietors of that theatre, to a legal tribunal for redress. " I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, "C. KEiIIIILE. " Theatre Royal, Covent-garden, Nov. 29." COPIES OP. THREE LETTERS WRITTEN TO MR. KEAN.I3I" MR. BARTLEY, STAGE-MANAGER OF COVENT-GARDEN TIIEATRE. " Theatre Royal, Covent-garden, Nov. 24. "My dear Sir,—l was waiting with Mr. Kemble in expectation of the pleasure of meeting you here as ap pointed at our interview yesterday, when your letter of this morning was delivered to me. Mr. Kemble requests me to say, that he is most anxious to consult your conveni ence; but the nights of Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in next week, which you suggest for your performances, are advertised for Romeo and Juliet ; and I need not say to you that our duty to the public makes any alterations now impossible. As you observe that you can play on no ether nights but those you have been accustomed to in both the London theatres, I can only assure you, that every endeavour shall be made to comply with your wishes. Before, however, we say more on this point, Mr. Kemble desires that I should remind you, in allusion to the inti mation which you made to me yesterday of your intention to enter into an engagement in London fur this season, that there is an engagement subsisting between you and Covent-garden which precludes your acting in London during the present season, and he thinks it just to all parties that this should not escape attention.. It will afford Mr. Kemble much satisfaction to accommodate circum stances to your present views, and, difficult as it will be at this advanced period of the season to make such altera tions in the arrangements of the theatre (which arrange ments have been made on the faith of your agreement) as will 'enable him to do so, he is ready to encounter such difficulty on your account, and with this feeling be was prepared to make you an offer of an engagement for this season, had you been able to meet him. " As you are unwell to-day, if you will favour us with an appointment for to-morrow, Mr. Kemble will be happy to talk the matter'over with you. You will be kind enough to receive this communication expressly on the un derstanding that it is made without prejudice to your pre sent agreement with Covent-garden Theatre. " I am, &c. " GEORGE BARTLEY. (Signed) " Edmund Kean, Esq., Sce." " Theatre Royal, Covent-garden, Nov. 26. " My dear Sir,—l hoped you would before this have favoured Mr. Kemble with an appointment, as I requested in my letter of Tuesday, the 24th. I think he would have proposed an arrangement that would have been found satisfactory. " Pray let me hate the pleasure of hearing from you. " I am, Sir, &c. (Signed) " Edmund Kean, Esq., &c." " GEORGE BARTLEY. " 19, Charlotte -street, Portland-place, Sunday Morning, Nov. 29. "My dear Sir,—l have just learnt that you were last night served with the injunction restraining you from the intended violation of your engagement with Covent-garden Theatre. I have not since seen Mr. C. Kemble; but um so fully in possession of his sentiments, that though the duties of his situation rendered it iniperative on him, in consequence of your total disregard of the two letters 1 addressed to you on the 24th and 26th instant, to appeal to the law, that I am Eatis fi ti he is still ready, as ex pressed in my letter to you of the 24th (and to which I earnestly solicit your attention), to encounter on your account the difficulty I therein pointed out to you, in order to meet your wishes for the present season ; and I am very confi dent the same arrangement may take place, if you choose to avail yourself of it, as would have been made kr.own to you, had you thought proper to take any notice of either of those letters. " I shall take an early opportunity this day of seeing Mr. Kemble, and unless you hear from me in the course of the morning to the contrary, you may consider that he does not withdraw from the proposal which it was his in tention to have made to you. " But I think it fair to apprise you, that knowing Mr. Kemble's sense of obligation to the public, I am induced to think he will concur with roe in the necessity of pub lishing my communications to you at the earliest possible period.—l am, &c. (Signed) "GEORGE BARTLEY. " Edmund Kean, Esq., &c." " P.S. I have, since writing the above, seen Mr. Kemble, who fully approves of this letter."

ONE OF lIIS MAJESTY'S BRIG OF WAR PACKETS FIRED UPON ns A SPANISH BATTERY.—As of-war packet Pigeon, which arrived here on Wednesday, was b eat i ng t h roug h t h e G ut of his Majesty's brig_ Gibraltar, she stood close into the batteries of Tarifa, when tlist Spaniards fired a spotted gun at her, the shot .from which penetrated right through the bows of the Pigeon, fortunately without d o i ng any' further damage. The only excuse offered for this insult to a British man-of-war is, that else bad no colours flying,wfulmouth Packet, IRISH CHURCH ESTABLIqINIENT. THE HUMBLE PETITION OF THE UNDER SIGNED LAY MEMBERS OF THE UNITED CHURCH OF ENGLAND AND IRELAND, IN HABITANTS OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF CORK, HUBIBLY SHOWETH, That your Petitioners regard the United Church of England and Ireland as the chosen instrument of Almighty God to preserve amongst us the light of Christian truth, and to uphold and foster the civil and religious liberties of the nation. They are firmly convinced of the Scriptural purity of her doc trines, and of the excellence of her Episcopal form of Government ; and they desire, by every means in their power, to support her privileges and to ex tend her influence. That although your Petitioners are thus fully sensible of the blessing which the Established Church has been to the country, they yet deeply deplore that EVILS ARISE from the present distribu tion of her revenues, and that ABUSES EXIST in the administration of her secular affairs. And your Petitioners are convinced that a period has arrived when the security of the Church requires the re formation of defects, which operate so strongly to impede her influence in the promotion of religion, to weaken her hold upon the affections of the people• and to endanger her existence as a national esta blishment. Your Petitioners would humbly call the attention of your Honourable House, in the first place, to the evils arising from the present distribution of Church properly. Your Petitioners conceive that the reve nues of a national religious establishment should be applied to providing as far as possible for the suitable maintenance of all classes of the Clergy, and for the religious instruction of the people. And yet, by the present dig ision of the property of the Church, some of the Clergy are possessed of revenues far beyond what the most liberal estimate could deem neces sary, while others of the body (to whom frequently the most important cases are entrusted) receive pittances wholly insufficient for their support, and no adequate provision is made for supplyingthe religious wants of the increased population of the country. While therefore your Petitioners fully admit, that the diversity of orders in an episcopal form of Church government requires a diversity of incomes, and while they pray for the preservation of all vested rights of property, they at the same time humbly submit (at the termination of existing in terests) funds might be derived from the superabund ance of the wealthier preferments, which would supply the necessities of the Curates and poorer beneficed Clergy, and would provide for the support of additional Ministers of the Established Church, where the growth of population and other caused render them necessary. The want of a sufficient number of churches to accommodate the increase of inhabitants in populous districts, is also a subject to which your Petitioners would humbly call the attention of your Honourable House. It appears to your Petitioners to be abso lutely necessary that some means should be provided for the erection and endowment of new churches, to supply the wants of the country more adequately than is effected by the provisions for this purpose already in existence. Of the abuses which exist in the administration of the secular affairs of the Church, the first to which your Petitioners would humbly call the attention of your Honourable House, is the custom of presenting the same incumbent to a plurality of benefices, hav ing care of souls frequently in different dioceses and parts of the country remote from each other. Thi s practice, which is, unfortunately, so prevalent, your Petitioners conceive to be fraught with the most ir. jurious consequences to religion and to the Esta blished Church. It involves the necessity of non. residence—it is a union of the most indefensible de scription—and it is an evident misapplication of church property, as it accumulates upon an indivi dual what was originally intended to afford a compe tence to several. And your Petitioners humbly sub mit that, if a more equitable distribution of church property should take place, which would provide for the increase of the incomes of the poorer beneficed Clergy, patrons would no longer he enabled to urge the plea of necessity, the only ground on which the custom has ever been, or can be supported. The abuse of non-residence is, however, not con fined to parishes held in plurality. Your Petitioners complain, that either from a deficiency its the laws intended to enforce residence, or from a laxity of church discipline, or from a combination of both these causes, many . of the beneficed Clergy absent themselves either wholly or partially from their cures without any sufficient reason. The bonds of affection which intercourse would produce between the pastor and his flock are thus rent asunder—the spiritual concerns of the people are neglected—the influence of the Established Church declines—and facilities are afforded for the encroachments of ,Po pery and dissent. Even if the sacred obligations of religion did not operate, the residence of a beneficed clergyman within his parish is imperatively de• mended on the plain principle of common honesty. The next subject to which your Petitioners would advert, is the unions which exist of parishes suffi cient in value to support separate clergymen, and requiring them from their extent and population. Your Petitioners humbly submit, that provision should be made for the dissolution of unions of this nature at the earliest opportunity. Your Petitioners feel it to be their duty to ad dress your Honourable House, on a subject of pe culiar delicacy, which they approach with consider.. able reluctance. They advert to the almost insur mountable expences and delays which attend the deprivation of immoral Clergymen of their bene fices. To the spiritual well-being of a Church, no thing is more absolutely essential than that her rulers should possess a power of easily ejecting corrupt and profligate Ministers. And yet such dif ficulties attend the prosecution of suits for depriva tion, that abandoned characters have been sometimes found, in defiance of public odium, and private exertion, continuing to receive the revenues of a Church which they injure by the disgrace and scandal attending their conduct. Your Petitioners, therefore, humbly pray, that the Episcopal powers may be encreased and supported by such legal en actments as will enable the Bishops to effect this most essential object. These various evils and abuses your Petitioners humbly submit, require an immediate remedy—con vinced that their existence has mainly retarded the progress of the glorious truths of the Reformation— has confirmed and increased dissent from our na tional Church—and furnishes to the enemies of the establishment a powerful engine with which they hope to effect its overthrow. In conclusion, your Petitioners do most distinctly acknowledge the right of the Clergy as a body to their property—and the necessity of guarding vested interests. They earnestly pray that the possessions of the Established Church may be preserved undi- min%hed—convitteed that iltcy are y no means superabundant if more cquitably distributed, and That the attempt to alienate any part of them to se. cu!ar purposes would violate the first principles of justice—endanger the security of all property—and lead to revolution and national ruin. Your Petitioners do therefore humbly pray your Honourable House speedily to take into considera tion the entire state of the Establishment of the United Church of England and Ireland, and of the Ecclesiastical Law connected therewithwith a view to the correction of the abuses which exist in the administration of the secular affairs (more espe cially tl.ose of which your Petitioners have herein humbly complained), and to the adoption of such measures, in the distribution of her property, as wilt insure the suitable maintenance of all classes of the Clergy, and will sufficiently provide for the religious instruction of. the great bOdy of the people. And your Petitioners will ever pray, &c. DOVER, Nov. 29. Arrived his Majesty's steam-packet Salamander, Capt Hamilton, from Calais, having on board his Excellency the Marquis Palmella, who was received by a gu trd of honour, and landed under a salute from the western heights. His Excellency proceeded immediately fur Lon don, mid was again saluted at his departure. Her Excellency the Princess Eaterhazy and her suite arrived in the same packet: It is now understood, that the ship sunk near Dunge. ness on Tuesday last, is the Indus, Capt. front Liverpool, bound to Bremen, with a cargo of salt, oil, and other goods, and as no intelligexce up to this time has been procured of the crew, the greatest apprehensions are entertained of their safety. The ship lies about six miles from Dungeness, Lydd church bearing about E.N.E., and so .exactly in the track of ships coming up channel, that it is feared some may receive damage (luring the present long dark nights. It is understood that the attention of the proper authorities bad been called to the necessity of the ship's immediate removal. The three topinasts are out of water, so that during the day-time the wreck may be easily discerned and avoided. HUNTING INTELLIGENCE. • APPOINTMENTS FOR THE PRESENT WEEK.
