The Oratorio was publicly performed under that ,title on Tuesday last, at the Hanover-scprare - Itoorns, and the well-known talents of the ingenious ComposeT drew the largest audience that we ever saw at that place, insomuch that great numbers were unable to procure seats, but were nevertheless detained by the merits of the work till the whole concluded. It may b 6 truly said that expectation was never more fully gratified titan on this occasion. The recita tives, airs, and choruses, were not only appropriate to the sentiments, but highly beautiful, expressive, and affecCirg.

SIB F. Bt.IRDET't versus TEE sc;EzikEß, FINAL lUDGMENT AGAINST THE BARONET. The detision of the twelve fudges. EXCIIE.;jUk bIIAMBEItS, APRIL 22. CHIEF JUSTICE MANSFIELD this day delivered the judgment of their Lordships on the Writ of Error, to the following effea, - viz.—His Lordship, after premising that they drought it better to kive judgment immediately, than to postpone it, and; after travelling through the material parts of the De • clare.tion and Plea, stated, that since the reign of Queen Elizabeth, down to the present day, such privilege had been eietcised by the Huuse of Cofn- Anons, which was quite sufficient for their Lord ships, how - in the nineteenth century ; to guide their decision, without looking into remote eases before that period, more fit for the conteieplation of anti quarians than for modern • Judges ; nqr did he feel disposed to discuss all the cases c:te ', nor all the ob jettions offered by 'the C.unsel to the judgment of the King'. Bench. The objection that the committal was for a libel upon past waiters, he should reply to by sayita, that all such commit ments must necessarily be after and not before the offence committed; nor d:d the difference of five liburs, or five days, :constiline any difference; but as to the soldi ers , h e d eemed t h at a so ldi er was not co' nomine distina from a citizen, or any other person, since the posse comilatus, in .the power of the Sheriff, to this day, were the 'early soldiers of this country ; and ridded; that in' the year 1780, by the remissness of the soldiers for the want of Officers or Magistrates. to guide them, houses and other things were burn ed in this city, which 'their early intertwine would have prevented. He thought they had equal right to prevent a felony, or other public evil, as well with any other person; and that respea and veneration were due to and necessaryfor the administration of j , stice, indispensably toward§ the persons of the Legislators of this or any other; nation, if the people hoped to benefit by them, while the clashing of contradictory decisions in the Miffs-rent jurisdiaiotis and Courts would puzzle and impede their proceed • ings altogether. To the doubt of the publication of the plaintiff's letter, avowed by him in his place as his produ&ion, and so much commented on in a weekly publication, he should reply by observing, that daily publications of libels on the proceedings of the House of Commons, to vilify and reprobate t heir proceedings, was not to be construed into any eulogy or panegyric .upon the Members, either colleCiively or individually. Under every consideration of the question, he.stated, that their Lordship swere una nimous in their judgment for the defendant, and in affirmance of the King's Bench judgment.—Judg-- ment for the defendant. ' . BILL V. TAYLOR. A special motion on the merits was made this day in the Court of Exchequer, by the SOLICITOR GE NERAL, Mr. HALL, and Mr. O'DEny, on the part of Mr. :Ell], an Attorney, to dissolve an injunetion obtained by the defendant at Common Law, under which the Sheriff of Middlesex was restrain , d from sellkg the elrandelier.s, Stc. of the Opera fLose, Oreli had - been rotten ire execution for a debt of 30W. After a great deal Alargnment, the Barons ordered the money to be brought into Court, if not, that the injunction should be dissolved, which would in effedt extinguish the lights. COURT OF KING's BENCH, APRIL 22. GORDON V. LOVELL AND ANOTHER. This was an aaion for slander. After hearing Criunsel and evidence, Lord ELLENBOROUGH ob served, that the cause might be made to last much longer, but as the defendant had (ailed in rnakil g out the justification in form, as pleaded, there must be, a verdia against him. But he was sure the Jury would see enough of the cause t o sa y it was not one where the plaintiff's charaaer demanded much coni pensation, Verdi& for the plaintiff-Damages one shilling. A few days ago a lad, having had son e words with his friends in the neighbourhood of Mow fields, left them, and went and entered himself on board the tender ; a few hours after which he was missing, and was discovered to have jumped from the vessel into the Thames, and was drowned. „ The body is not yet found. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE. —The ship , deorgia, Capt. STOKES, from Lisbon, to Savannah,,on the 21st of November last, in lat. 30 deg. N. long. "23 deg. W. about 3 P. M. then distant from the near est land, the Canary Islands, at (east two hundred miles, while sailing with a fine breeze from the southreast about eight knots, a black eland arose from the south-west, and the ship was all at once becaltited. A light air afterwards sprai.g up from the north-east, at which time there fell from the cloud an innumerable quantity of large grass-hop pers, so as to cover the deck, the tops, and every part of the ship they could light upon. They did not..appear in the least exhausted ; on the contrary, when an attempt was made to take hold of them, they instantly Jornped,, and endeavoured to elude being taken. The calm, or a very light air, lasted fully an hour, and during the whole of the time these insects continued to fall upon the ship and around her ; such as were within reach of the vessel alighted upon her, but immense numbers fell into the sea, and were seen floating in masses by the sides. During the next day many still re mained about the rigging and decks, and were seen in quantities jumping and flying from, one place to another. Two bottles, filled with some of the grass-hoppers preserved in spirits, are kept for the inspetlion _of the curious; and for the in formation of those who may not have an opportu ni,y of seeing them, the following description is given :—rtie inseat is of a reddish hue, wi t h re d and grey speckled wings, eyes black, two horns, six legs, four long and two short, which last aid them in jumping, two wings on each side ; length of the..body two inches, and, including the wings, when folded, two inches and seven-eightits. Land birds of different kinds have frequently been Tound at a much greater distance at sea after heavy gales, but it is not easy to account how such a num ber of glass-hoppers got into the air, at so great a distance from land, as they are not calculated to fly far. HOUSE OF PEERS. TUESDAY, APRIL 21 . [ConelUded from our Paper of yeeteriay.] The MarquiS of bow tsSnial3 Was convinced, that the petition Spoke the sense of the Ca , holic_ Body of Ireland, and that emancipation would be equal i be— neticial Id all descriptions of his . Majesty's subj . ;-a4. a He, too, had laid on t h at ta bl e Petition ft qm a te speCtable body of his countrymen ; and he s!.oul be happy in feeling that he could any. thing to an object .so desirable as rdig ous li berty. Lord ljvaoN, iii a-speech of - considert-ible 'tngt!i, Went over the leading v oints of the quests°. . ‘ , V' d had emancipated the- ne„osoe?, and we rtsu,..id don) to the Catholics. He had in- consequence ofii'n thought it a nistortuty for the Catholics ;that .they were no , bprn black: toughs for popery thraugh, the world, to crii,ll its cheiples at bone. It Lord Wellington had been a papist, we should have lost bit talents. We did not consult religion in our wit's. When any offer was made from- the Continent, away went our arkil y our ambassador, and our sub sidy. We fought often pretty hardly, oftener negc.c elated very - badly, and al ways paid pretty dearly for the benefit of our Popish allies. - His .Lordship c,u clu'ded by decl +ring, that the rejeatio'h of she Petitions would be giving the greatest possible fo Buonvarte. The E rrl of Moms was of opinion that the No ble Lord (Liverpool) had most unjustly , confounded the temporal and spiritual nature of the question : but the Catholics made the distinetion in the cleat est manner, disclaiming all idea of interleiing with the present China h tstablishment. The Cateohcs came as free born men, demanding their ; it then tell upon Ministers to proaethat they were unworthy of the right. But as to requiting the veto as a pledge, Ministers would be as much jus.died in demanding a similar pledge from the Dissenters.-- The Petition was backed by the weight of the Pro testant property, and it therefore spoke the sense of Ireland. But were Ministers to threw it from theta at once, and declare that they would nut in any man ner entertain the prayer of the Catholic people ? If they were, what must be the alternative There was nothing between conciliating them and knock ing them on the head : the latter 'would not be pe culiarly moral, but what was perhaps more looked to, it was not peculiarly predicable. But something must be done. •He knew there. had been doubts on the question among the people of this country : he knew, and with the extreme of anguish, that there were doubts in . the mind of an illustrious Peron, who had been once presumed to be'lhe friend of the Catholics. But if his judgment was bewildered fur a moment, he (Lord M.) ,would adjure the country not to withdraw its confidence from Inch; he was still full- of regard for the general interest, of respect toe constitutionel,freedom, and of zeal for the happi ness of the nation. This was said from an intimate knowledge of the fact; and it was to be hoped the House would rely upon the testimony. now given. The Irish offered the most solemn pledges for their , allegiance, —they might be relied on : there was no nation of a more faithful and confiding nature. But if we rejected their Petition for right with conform we told them there was no right for them,-- how were we to keep down the irritation which we Must base created ? We could not spare troops to the oar-pose e and in the language of the Noble Lord (Byron) by refusing the boon, ,we were only doing a service to Buonaparte. - Lord GRENVILLE said, he was not at all surprised that they who had the rashness to turn away the Pe tition of four millions of people should have very few reasons, and not one satisfactory, for opposing the claims of the Catholics. Indeed, after the strong and eloquent and utterly unanswerable arguments . .which the House had heard tjiis night in tat our of the question, he thought it-altnost ,an ad of great presumption in himself to attempt- any noselty the subject. New argument . he certainly had um, but again and.-again would he raise his voile in ens treaty for the grant of the prayer of the. petitioners, when he considei•ed what the stake was that-was at issue. When he recolleded that it was this question that had occupied a large portion of his thoughts, and had been in fact the chief fea . ture of his political life; and when he considered that rhe'safety of his' country was endangered ty the necessity of its agita lion, he hoped Noble Lotds would pardon him tOraab trud•ng upon them a few observations; What was the House now deliberating on ? When the history of this night shoOld be written in after times, with what scorn would posterity hear, "that neither the' just claims, nor the 601 Ft-rings, nor the loyalty of. the Catholics, could obtain for them from this House so much as permissiam to detail 'the pariicehirs their case to it. , aklmost the one fourth of the poPu lation of theEnapire waa now petitioning the House; and their prayer was baled by the petitions 6f those very persons for whose benefit it was said that exclusion was necessary,—backed• by those who prayed that for their safety you should demolish what you pretend to be the bulwarks of their' safety,— who entreated yon to extticate theth trout that ar mour, which to theni is no longer a defence, but an. ineumbrance.' The petitionees dictum:lt es actually comptised the great majority of that nation sacrificed its independence to your confidence. It was not now a mere Catholic question, it was a Protestant one also. The Catholics tell you of their sufferings, and the Protestants call on you to give them peace and union, and to restore harmony 10 their distracted couotry., And though the question had taken this momentary turn, what was still the condut of the Noble Lords opposite ? Was theta ever such phrenzy manifested ; such political mad ness b trayed by persons who pretended to the cha racter either of statesmen or men ? Now. that this country could not support itself without leaning on Ireland,—now that a gigantic power was proceed ing, although t he Noble Lords did not affect to see it, with rapid strides to overwhelm our existence,— at such a moment it was that they spurned the Ca= thohcs front their doors. He called on the House, not to stand as Englishmen in that basest and most dishonourable otall situations, that of receiving the services of a people, without giving them their just reward. He was glad, however, to hear that nig , lit from the Noble. Secretary of State an avowal of the injustice of the calumnies which were thrown out 'still against the Catholics ; although at the same time he ,was'aware that the Noble Secretary %%' '43 quite conscious of the quarter whence • they origt ,nated. The University of Cambridge had touni out that there was greater 'Jaeger to this Country, iro.o
