To be enabled to fulfil the functions of your Speaker; it is true, some attentior# to the forms and knowledge of tke usages of Parliament may be necessary to meet the growing business which flows upon the Commons House, and. also the .other laborious duties at tached to the, office ; but these are not the main. corn - sates ; for such arc the new, unlooked for, and ever-varying authorities which spring up in the course of our proceedings, that unless the House give.their firm, prompt, and constant sup port to the person in their chair, no qualities, he may possess can be of avail, and without such support all the rest is superfluous and.nngatory. Iu exrressing these sentiments, I humbly submit myself to the determination to which the abuse has done me the honour now to come."—(Cry I Chair, Chair !" throughout the House.

We must, as Members of this House, feel it as a matter of great congratulation to each other, to have an individual returned to Parliament Whom we can elect to that situation in which he lias already so pre-eminently distinguished himself, to his own honour, and to the benefit.of the House Ind of the country. It is a matter of congratu la`tion that the first step we have taken is likely to redound to the public advantage, and to the general good, as well as to the particular interest of this assembly. Marked. as this election has been by an universal expression of sentiment that cannot bb doubted, you, Sir, must feel that you possess, in the unbounded emtfidence of this House, the means and authority neesssary to enable you to discharge with dignity and effect the important duties placed in your hands. Under these eh:- eutristances, I will not detain the House longer, by dilking on the topics so ably and fully opened by the Right Honourable Mover, but conclude by i)toposing that this House do now adjourn."-: . Adjourned till to-morrow. DUIILIN, Nov. 21. The-C.;rand Jury of this City yesterday came to tbe'following Resolutions :--- " Rcsolved, That it is now necessary for this •Term Grand Jury to decare our firm determina tion to maintain, as much as in us lies, the Pro testant Constitution in Church and State. Re,..:oived, That upon the most mature consi &ration which we have been tilde give the im- Portant question, respecting the•demands of our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects, we ace of opinion that they ought to rest contented with the most complete toleration of their religion, the fullest security of their property, and perfect personal li berty, which they at present enjoy. Resolved, That any further concession to their' demands would endanger the Prostant 'Con tcitiltion., and connexion between this country and Great Britain. Resolved, it hat a copy of these our ResoluL Cons be most respectfully transiuited to his Royal Highness the Duke of CUmberiand " Resolved, That copies of these our Resoln 7 tions be sent to our Representatives in Parlia - - meat.. " Resolved, That highly approving the. .00nciliatory, yet upright, just, and firm Adminis tration of his Grace the"DukeOf Richmenid," eve do express these our sentiments in an Address to that truly dignified Nobleman. ALIEN ENEMIES. The following is the copy of a Letter -receive by a merchant in the City, frotm.one of his Mad jesty's Under-Secretaries of State, in answer to an application 10,- a passport in favour of a French supercargo ; and as we understand, that the rule will be strictly adhered. to, we think it right to give the measure publicity, as it may be the means of preventing personal inconvenience to parties who may feel desirous of visiting this country.— We feel pleasure in' so doing, as we are satisfied of the expediency"' and propriety of this mea sure : " 'Nov. 21, 18:2. "GENTLEMEN,—AS the French Government re fuse to permit British Merchants and supercargoes to land, and proceed into the interior of France, for the prosecution of 'commercial objects, I ant directed, by Lord Sidmouth, to apprise you, that it has been deemed expedient to place French '3nerehants and supercargoes under similar prohi bition; and I am to express to you his Lordship's .regret, that, under this decision, he cannot emu :ply with .'xiur request in Mr. 's behalf. I,ani, Gentlemen, &c." , Though , Mrs. SIDDONS is no longer a public vharacter; she cannot escape from the pitiful hos tility of narrow minds. It is insinuated in a Morn ing'Paper of this day, that she has dropped a hint that. she might: be prevailed upon to perform in the presetit•season at Covent Garden Theatre ; but t . :ere is not the least foundation for this insidious PREEDOM •01;' _tLECTION. . , • The 'Opposition Writers naturally Sore, from 'the „... many defeats which /.hey haye, mct with during the late Elections, are alway.r6{F, , to vent their spleen, by insinuating thaetifi&C,lnfluenre has been used against their friends. WI, while they complain of others, they conceive th'emselves to be at liberty to employ every species of Infinenc.e, to „practise every artifice, and to adopt every means, fair or foul, to attain their object. Ai, a proof of. the_ justice of our assertion, Ive extract the following article from a Cork Paper. It is Eigned by Lords SHANNON,, BANDpN, BANTRY, and BERNARD, the Bishop of Coact, and thirty of the most respectable Gentlemen of the County of Cork. • " It appearing to several of the _Noblemen and Gentlemen of Landed Interest in this County, that an illiberal attack Las been , made on the highly respectable Banking-house of JOSEPH PIKE, of this City, Esq. by sending in an unusual number of his notes for payment, and by cutting and mu tilating others, so as to prevent their circulation,' and this in consequence of his having exercised his &dive franchise, we who have hereunto sub scribed our names hereby declare, that if such conduct shall be persisted in, after this publica tion, we are resolved ourselves, and shall direct our agents, and receivers of our rents, not to take in payment thereof any other than the National Paper of this Kingdom, so as thereby to prevent the depreciation attempted to be cast upon the Notes of the said JOSEPH PIKE, or the prefer ence attempted to be given to the circulation of other Bankers' Notes of this County and City.'' THE THEATRE.-The lively but extravagant comedy .of The lacdnstant, was' last night repre sented at Drury-Lane Theatre. The part of Young Mirabel was assumed, we can hardly say performed, by ELLISTON, for the easy spirit and gaiety of the part werelost in a slow, formal, deli, berate utterance, through almost every scene that demanded the full display of vivacity and humour. In the scene with the . Bravoes, however, he ac quitted himself very well, the solemnity ,of his utterance corresponding with the horrors of the situation, and his agitation, beSides, under a shew of sprightliness, was so well expressed as to excite the sympathy of the audience in no slight degree.. Miss - BOYCE was very interesting in Oriana ; and Mrs. EDWIN Sufficiently airy and pleasant in Bizarre, thoagh somewhat too forcible when she proposed an examination of Duretete. The part of Duretete was rendered very effective by DE Calm'. DowToN, who is always at home in the part of a testy . old m'an,• displayed all his usual force and humour in Old Mirabel. We see no necessity for the adoption of the old regimentals in the Bravoes, and it was somewhat ludicrous when Mirabel expected the soldiers under the name of Red Burgundy, to see them enter in Blue. The Bravoes were in red regimentals; and therefore the soldiers ought to have appeared so too, tor other \• ise the order for Red Burgundy was nugatory.— HoweVer, the comedy altogether went off with good effect. What renders the dress of the Bravoes more improper is, that Mirabetaffects to consider them as having different occupations. The following satirical portrait of the Empress 11IAr,IA THEatEsA is taken from the very curious and interesting Memoirs of the Margravind of BAREITII, Princess Royal of PRUSSIA, which have just appeared from the pen of this illustrious and witty female : " I saw this Princess next day ; Town that if I had been is her place I should have invented all the etiquette and ceremony imaginable, to prevent me from bing obliged to appear. The Empress is of a most diminutive height, and so corpulent, that she has the appearance. of a ball : she.' is as ugly as it is possible to be, and destitute of every thing like air .or gracefulness. Iler mind corre sponds .with her figure : she. is bigotted to excess, and passes nights and days in her chapel'. The old and the ugly fail generally to God's Share. •She received me trembling, and with so disconcerted an air, that she was' unable to say a word to me. We seated ourselves. After preserving silence for some time, I began conversing in French. She answered in her 'Austrian jargon, that she did not understand that language very well, and would request me to speak in GTnan to her. —Our conversation was very short. The Austrian and the Low Saxon dialects are so differunt, that without being accustomed to both, it is impossi ble to makeoneseit understood. 'This was exactly Our case.-Weshoulo have furnished ample food for laughter to any third person who heard our non sensical conversation; in which neither of us could make ,out more than a word now and then, from which we had to conjecture the meaning of the rest. This Princess was sucli a slave to etiquette, that she wont(' have believed she bad committed the crime of high treason in conversing with one ,• in a foreign language, for she -knew Freilch. ' KEMBLE, it seems, has had a very liberal offer from the body of Booksellers, to undertake an edition of SHAKESPEARE. His tine dramatic li brary, the bent of his mind, and the course of his studies, amply qualify him for the task, and, we hope, he will undertake it for the honour:of him self, as well as of our great dramatic . Bard. FIRE IN SHEERNESS Do ck-YARD.—Saturday morning, about two o'clock, tide alarm-bells were rung, in consequence of a fire being disco', erect iri the Yard by one of the centinelsbelonging to the battalion of detachments on duty at that fortress ; .but owing to the alertness of the men of this bat talion in bringing the engines• to the spot, and their exertions in supplying them with water, and working them, we are happy to state, that the fire was: got under without doing any material injury. , In conscquence of the recent robberies of the Dublin and Newry Fly, which travelled • at night, the proprietors have determined to commence riin ning it in company with the Harp coach, which starts from Newry for Dublin at five o'clock every morning, arid from Dublin, at seven o'clock each morning, for Newry. This regulation is to continue until four passenger coaches (which are in a state of forwardness) are prepared, and which will accompany the mail between Newry and Dub-_ lin each day.

The winci has. blown fresh ever since from the North and East, which will probably enable this valuable reinforcement to reach ,Lisbon- before Wednesday'ne it. In consequence of the reinforcements of Artil lery sent out to the Marquis of WELLINGTON, and of his demands for 'more officers of that corps, it is about to.be strengthened by another battalion. The 'Atli - Regiment of Foot have not yet re ceived orders of embarkation, but from their ranks having been filled up by well-trained soldiers from the Militia, they are i❑ such an excellent state of discipline, as to be ready for active service on the shortest notice. Last week about 1000 men, from the King's German Legion, merched into this town in three divisions, - from BeXhill, on their route to Polts mouth, there to embark to join .Lord WELLING TON'S army in Spain. Most of them had been taken prisoners in the French service, and volun teered from the different prisons in which they'were confined. They are for the most part fine-looking young men ; and their uniform gives them an ap pearance very different from that which they exhi bited when they passed through this town, a short time since, in their yellow jackets, from the depot in the Isle of Wight, to join their Legion at Bex hill.—(Sussex Pgper.). Lieuienant-Colonel RAYMOND PELLY, of the 16th Light Dragoons, who had his horse shot un der him, and was in consequence made prisoner, in one of the late actions in Spain, is a brother of the late Captain of the Bucephalus frigate, and of the Rev. 1' ..PELLY, of Aston. Friday arrived at Glasgow, two troops of the 6th Dragoon Gnarls, from Hamilton ; and on Wednesday . •a detachment of Artillery, with three field-pieces, and the Perthshire Militia from Edin burgh. From four to, 500 prisoners arrived within these eight days past at ,the Perth depot ; they were quite destitute of clothing., but upon their arpival were supplied with necessaries, and made as com fortable as their situation could admit of. The total number now lodged at Perth is 3500. . LuDnlTEs.—Saturday night, about 7 o'clock ; when numbers had retired to Chapel, six armed men, ,in disguise, entered the house of Mr. Glue, in Earl -street, Nottingham, while he and two of his workmen were sitting by the tire • and, while proper guards, were left over two of them, the third was compelled to go into the workshop, and Point out a lace frame, which the Luddites had learnt was at work for half goods and half mo riey, which frame they broke. in a few minutes, and carried away the machine, without any dis turbance being created. A pigeon match took place on Monday on Hounslow Heath, betwixt Messrs.' Howlett and Bunce,;amateur shots, for 501. The parties fired with double-barrel guns, at two pigeons from a trap, at twelve yards ; 20 birds were allotted to each, and Mr. Rance won the -match by bagging 16, which was one more than his adversary. PEDESTRIANISM.—A sporting foot race took place on Monday on the Bagshot road, between George Bartholomew, a Shropshire 'man, and John Wilmot, a professed runner. The men were hacked for 100 guineas a side, to run against each other for forty minutes. The pedestrians went off at the rate.of ten miles an hour, and did four miles abreast of each other in '23 minutes 36 seconds.— Wilmot was evidently beat after running 30 mi nutes; And his antagonist progressively gained on him and run strong in, leaving his antagonist 300 yards in the rear. The winner (lid six miles and three-quarters in' the time. A letter front Stromiless, states, the sailor be longing to the,Rosamond, who, from mere distress of conscience, had confessed his knowledge of the murder of the family of Marr, was to'be sent with all expedition to London. POLICE. 130*-ST . REET .-L-Ping- dropp, Stvintilc'ii, •%:(7.--- P s i Friday se'nnight, as an elderly man, a f anner .. , residing near Gitildford, in Surrey, 'was returning from Covent Garden 7 tharket by .Clieri,g Cross, be was addressed bya man, and they gut into conversation about the county of Surrey, and Guildford.. The man told the farmer, he was a horse-dealer, and had often done business with. him : the farmer denied knowing him. however, Nybile they were disputing on this point, the man stooped down and picked up a small paper parcel, which was tied up very carefully; another mail passed at tbe,time, who stopped ancl spoke to him ; they appeared to be very intimate. The man lold the other who was passing by of his ha-V -ing_just picked up the parcel: he replied, the far mer was entitled to half the velue of the contents. They all walked together, and went into a public house on the Surrey side of Blackfriars-bridge, where, on opening the parcel, it proved to con tain a cross set with-stones, and a bill and receipt purporting to be from a jeweller for 1301. de scribing ihe'erbss as a dianiondcross. The ft:- nier swallowed the bait, although it is a trick cif so many years standing, and gave the man he met ' with at Charing CrosS all the money he 11.3 d in his pocket, amounting to 591. and he, took the cross. The man who had passed thew at. Charing Cross represented himself as a master. builder ; and the pretended horse-dealer, after arranging that they were to meet the following morning, settled that ''the farmer should go to the Elephant and Castle to, order dinner for the three, they having some - business in that neighbourhood. lie went to the .E:ephant_and Castle, and ordered the dinner. : h o t neither of the men coming to him, he had the whole to pay. for. He was dupe enough to go the following morning to the Elephant and Castle, and wait a considerable-time for them, when nei ther the pretended horse-dealer nor builder mak ing his appearance, he then discovered the trick, and came to the Office, and gave information.-- . From the description given of the man, there was no doubt entertained but that thepretended horse dealer was John Castledine, he being very short, deformed, and lame, and having been transported for .a similar offence. Humphreys has been in search of him since that time. Iresterday morn ing, as he was passing through King -street, Gol. den -square, . he saw Castledine standing at the door of Joe Wrard, :the prize-fighter. lie entered. into conversation with him ; and told the particu lars of another wellAnown clilteactee, Ned Owen., being in custody, and afterwards told him hint be wanted hint. Castledine appeared astonished, and hoped Humphreys would not take him ; and as he had not been before the Magistrate, and as there was no one present but themselves, it was impossible any one could know: He had no money about him, but if he would go with hint in a coach over the water, lie would give him as much as he wish ed. All these temptations had no effect upon. Humphreys ; he brought his prisoner to the Office, when . he underwent an examination before Mr. GRAHAM, and was committed for farther exa-. initiation. Thomas Symonds, alias Ned Owen, was charged with being concerned with two others in robbing John Delatouch, a youth, some citue since, in Oxford-street, of 61. A short time since, the prisoner, in com p an y with two other men, of the names of Kenyon and Green, were at the Green Man and Still public ' house, in Oxford -street, at which time there was a butcher, whom they abused very much, particu larly Kenyon, who charged the butcher with be ing an informer, threatening to .serve it out to him (fight hith.) The butcher denied being an informer, and declined fighting, as he was no fighter, &c. They all left the house, and at the door the butcher was attacked by the three men, and knocked down by Kenyon, while the prisoner and Green called out to serve it nit to hiM. The batcher finding himself attacked bi three men, was crawling, back into the Green Man and Still for assistance. A ynuth of the n rote of Dela touch, an upholsterer's son, hemin.; the butcher call out that he was ribbed, having felt a hand in his pocket, and observing some p‘per fall froM it, he picked it up. ~ Kenyon came up to him, and said be would knock his eyes out with his um brella, if he d d not give him what he had picked up, and by force took it from him, wh ch proved to be Bark-notes to the amount of 61. An ob server of the name of Leigh, a gentlem ui's ser vant, followed Kenyon, who was : making off with great speed up B ilsover-street to Portland-street, where, at a convenient opportunity, he seized hit* by the collar, and told him he had got s:nnetlyng that did not belong to, him, which Kt Ilion, after some' hesitation, acknowledged, and offered to give the servant a 11. note, and treat him with' a bottle of wine, if he would let him go. This was not accepted, but the servant tookilim tb M rlbo rough-street Office, where lie was con/mired for trial, and convicted at the - last Old _Bailey Ses- Sessions of the. highway robbery.—Gre:n was tried. at the same time, and acquitted. Tile pri soner was apprehended on Monday afternoon, by Humphreys and Rather), in Oxford-street. OR searching him, they found Bank-notes to the amount of 1401. in his breeches, and 541. in _his pOcket-book. lie was committed for further exa mination.
