It has not been altogether generated now, but has been working up to its present malignity for upwards of a century. It has been fomented by many per 3flult wh o ought rather to have counteracted it ; "(1111 15 been, from time to time, -- increased, by a "tuber of conspiring circumstances. Si nce the final settlement of the Constitution, ander Witit.sm the Third, there had been always t ‘ t n rival parties in both Houses of Parliament. ° He of these consists of the Persons actually in Pc 'wer, their friends, connections, and supporters-I the other, of those who think themselves more en lilies! to the favour of the Sovereign, More able l a cooduct the business of the Nation, or in some respects better qualified to be Ministers ; or, at le i's% who wish to be so. These also are sup- Ported by their own connections and adherents, pad continually reinforced by every one who, for N I reason whatever, real or imaginary, thinks hlroselt neglected or ill-used by the Government. T he titst of these are supposed, of course, to be the friends of the King or Queen ; the latter I)ae ry, therefore, have nothing for it but to declare themselves the friends of the People; which they lt.ave never tailed to do. Sr) far, perhaps', there is nothing that can pos. i s ib lY be remedied or prevented. It is so exactly la the natuse of man, that they who are possessed a f power, influence, and patronage, should study (41' retain them; and that they who think they have 1411 equal right to those distinctions should ear /I.e'rlY desire to gaits them ; that it is difficult to v tla ngine any Government without such parties. " °li iing but the iron hand of despotism_ can pre... l ent them; and even - despotism has frequently attempted it in vain. In this county particular iY. Where every man possessing any kind of ta lents has a reasonable hope of being able to em- P lo y them to his own advantage, this kind of ri 'Wry cannot, I apprehend, be prevented ; nor is st "ogethar to he wished, since the Public some tiines derives a real benefit from the struggle. By whatever names, therefore, these two par tlet have at times been distinguished or stigma * my principal object of the contest has peen always this. On the one band to retain, and an the other to acquire the possession of place and poser. The arena for the combat is the Senate; a nd as it frequently grows violent, a contentious 146quence has there been cultivated, the great art " w ileb consists in imputing every imaginable ti l Motive to the plans, and every possible bad sequence to the acts of the opposite party. I n such a warfare morality could not fail to gut ter ; the heated passions of political combatants 1 4i 'dain such slight restraints ; and imputations are in died on each side which frequently the t w u lleakee s themselves do not in truth or honesty be lieve. !any other evils are of necessity connected this ; but the most pernicious consequence t ° the Nation at large is the passion, let me rather 1 4 the rage, for malignant abuse and calumny, *hich has gradually been produced from these Ilt ßionings. The parties within the Senate have, " course, their partisans without ; and the im putations there thrown out are by them caught a ll anti circulated.

DRtr4Y^LArre.-=-I'he Beggar's Opel, very pro perly contracted into two Acts, was represented last night at this Theatre, chiefly for the pur pose of introducing Mr, PSARMAN as the itrra of the piece, a cheatter which he bad often per formed with success at the ENGLiSti OPERA- House, and in which he was not less soccessfill last night. The merits of Miss CAREW and Miss KRLLY, 111 Polly and Lucy, also have been often witnessed and admired. Soon after the second Act began, Miss Ktt.ta seemed tit be somewhat embarr.ssed by the non-appearance of DowToN in Locket. The vulgar part of the audience, who allow nothing for accidental impediments, began to hiss, and utter the hackneyed call for " Ma nager." DowroN then came forward with the following brief address, which soon restored harmony:— " LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—I believe something, lam at a loss to know what, has excited your displeasure. Perhaps it is the compression of the Opera into two acts.—(Here ri few cries of " Manager" were ?team'.)—For myself, have guile on precisely as' my Fart has been marked out ; I have never on any occasion been wanting in my duty." The entertaining love of The Three and the Deuce, voinpriling in its title a whi m si ca l equi. vogue, followed, and ELLIsT , N, in his personation of Peregrine, Pertinar, and Percival Single, was so rapid in the successive as.itimptions. and varied the characters with such marked discrimination and versatility of power, that he most deservedly received the warmest applauae. The last piece was Two Strings to your how. COVENT-GARDEN.— The Tempest, not the sim ple, regular, and beautiful Play, as originally written by its wonderful Author, but as deformed by the unlucky, hand Of DRYDEN, was brought rorward last night at this Theatre. The part of Prospero has, since the retreat of the gre a te s t Actor of his day, JOHN KateaLE, and the db.- . sence of YOUNG, been assigntd to Timor. He supported it with dile solemnity of manner and accurate adherence to the text, excrpt, to c-m -pliment to the ignoram vulgar, pronouncing aches as a monosyllable.. But John Bull is a restkss animal, and was dissatisfied last night with what he formerly demanded, and bi,sed he Actor, al most as much as he did Mr. KUMLA for be ing faithful to the measure and the pronun ciation of former titnts. When the late Mr. BRNSLEY performed (his part, he Adhered to the original pronunciation, but as lie was assailed by the vulgar tor so doing, he omitted the line the next representation, to avoid ail ignorant cla mour, but perhaps the orn , ‘ion now might he equally ill received. The play al ogether went off very well, and was mulct; iudeb;.•d to Emily's Caliban, BLANCHARD'S Trinculo, RUSs ELL'S Ste phan°, and the Miranda of :Miss FOOTe, tilt! Do• rinds of Miss BRUNTON, and,the Hippolyto of Mrs. FAWCETT. We must. however, take a more partietdar 'voice of Miss TRER'.4 first appearance in Ariel, which had all the elegant lightness con ceivable in a Sylph. with tenderness and s:mpli city in the acting, as well as taste, science, and expression in the singing. But let the Manager shew his taste by reviving the -anginal play, and discarding this bungling disfigurement of an ad . - mirabie drama. FESTWITIEs AT Tint EARL or CoVRNTRY'S•— His Royal Highness the Dike of GLoucvsTea. the Duke of WELLINGTON. mid (hen- Aides-de Camp, are expected at Cru••ror Hall, the seat of the Earl and Countess of CoVHNTRY, on Monday se'nuight, to joit, a large party •,f Insitionaides assembled there to enjoy the sports of the season; namely, hunting, shout lug, and coursing. The Berkeley hounds will joie the pack. The above illustrious Personages, it is reported, intend to sojourn there for a fortnight. LORD COCHRANE.-EVraCt of a letter dated Buenos Ayres, July 29 :—" Lord COCHRANE has taken the Guayaquil convoy, estimated 'o be worth three million of dollars ; he subsequently effected a landing at Payta, and held turbed possession of that place tor five days, during which time he amply supplied himself with provisions and refreshments, th,stroyed the fortifications, and sent ail the serviceable artil lery in a schooner of war (one of the pi izes) to Valparaiso: He afterwards reterned to Callan to resume the blockade, and would shortly be by she remainder of the squadron from Valperaiso, now under the command of Captaio Artigas's refusal to unite with Buenos Ayres will not prevent the Government from coming to an understanding with Saute-F6 and Entreeios, because the latter cannot expect any support from their protector s Artigas, who is hard pressed by the Portuguese. They have taken Otargnes, his second in command, and also the Division of the famous Andresito. The accounts trom Upper Perd state, that the Royalist C o m mti pd et .i a . Chief, La Cerna, had withdrawn to the coat'' to• wards Arica, and only left 100 men at Tupiza, and small garrisons in some other places.— The troops which have passed front Chili over the Cordillera towards this place, amount only to 1500 men, who are to remain in readiness to assist us in receiving the grant! Expedition from Cadiz. The expedition intended against Lima is not on that account given up : only let Lord Cochrane capture the :,an Thelmo and Prneva, on their voyage from Cad ix, and Lima will follow of course."—(Morning Paper.) We copied a paragraph from The Morning Herald of yesterday, stating that Mr. C KIAMBLR had apologized for " the harsh expressions be had used at the time the misunderstanding occurred." ‘Ve are assured that no " harsh expressions" were used by him, and consequently no apology could be necessary. We are assured also, that the re sult was highly hmonrable to both parties, and we trust that the subject will not be revived, but that a sincere cordiality has been fully re-established We understand that a numerous and respectable meeting of the Deputy Lieutenants, Justices of the .Peace, and other authorities, was held in Hamilton Palace on Thursday last, at which it was resolved that a Volunteer force should be raised in different parts of the Connty, and a con siderable augmentation made to the present num ber of special constables. It was also resolved that a declaration of the political st oilmen's of the people should be drawn tip, and circulated for signatures,---(Glasgow Chronicle.)

On Saturday, his Excellency Mum% ABUL HASSAN KHAN; the Persian Ambassador Extra - ordioaty to Great Britain, and 'one of his suite, left the Royal Hotel a little before three o'clock, ac companied by the bard Provost and Bailie Man ners, and visited the Parliament House. After walking through the different Courts, he went into the ball of the Writers to the Signet, with which he seemed much pleased. Between three and tour o'clock he proceeded in his own car riage, to the Palace ot Holyroodhousc, and pass ed through all the public apartments, after which he returned to tic Royal Hotel. Yesterday, ghost one o'clock, his Excellency visited the Castle. He went into the Crown-room and saw the Regalia of Scotland, and atterwards inspected the different pat ts of the garrison. His Excellency appeared highly pleased with the dress and appearance ot a small body ot Highlanders now jn the Castle. The Lord Provost, several of the Magistrates, Sir Thomas Bradford, K.C.B. with-Iris Staff, accompanied his Excellency. The day was rather thick, which greatly obscured the fine view to be seen ram that elevated spot. From the Castle his Excellency went to Leith, and viewed the new docks, pier, Bu_.. and before re turning to the Royal Hotel, his - CarOage drove through all the,principal streets of the New Town. • This day his Excellency will visit the :general RegiSter Univetsity, Herint'a Hospi tal. &c. aud .. ;, We understand, lie will dine with the Lord ProvOsto-morrow, atter which he will visit the Pantheon) .

DARING ATTEMPT To Poll DRURY-LANK TUBA THII —A most daring attempt, was made, between two and three o'clock on Tuesday morning, to rob this Theatre. , The robbers effected au entry into the building, by climbing over the palings in Vinegar-yard, on the south side of the con cern, and then breaking open a door. They bad fortunately not got farther than that part appro priated to the printing department, when they were sliscovered. It was evident that the two fellows who entered were not by thern3elves, as the persons at work in the • printing-office rit tinctly heard the notice given to them, namely, a whistle. Mr. White, one of the firemen on duty at the time, immediately came round from the stage-boor, with a view of stopping their retreat, but without success, as they effected their escape at the moment he turned round the cot ner of the ,building to the spot where they euterr.:!.

EAST INDIA INTELLIGENCE. CALCUTTA, MAY l2.—:although the tranquillity of Ceylon still continues undisturbed by any optn acts of rebellion, the accounts from that qoarter are of such a nature as cat, scarcely authorize an eotite confidence in the present stare of the country. An inclination appears to have been manifested'by the Boodhist priests to afford shelter to the laie Pre retitle,, who is represented as a wanderer at the date of the last accounts in \Vellas•e and Lower Ouva. The conduct of some other individuals had likewise appeared suspicious in the eyes of the Governn►ent, which had succeeded in securing the persons of some, and taken measures for• the ap prehension of others. Among the former were the Weonia, or Muilianse, of Numere, another rebel of the name of Katekel, and some others of inferior note. In a late excursion to Kurrukponr-bills, in the neigh boot hood of Mongeer, Col. Ft anklin, who has already th r own considerable light on oriental, antignilies, by his indefatigable labours in tracing the situation of the ancient city of Palibothra, is said to have discovered a Colossal Jeyn sta tue in tie immediate, neighbourhood of the ancient city Jeynnagbur, situated at the distance of shout nine miles to the south-west of Souvujgurh, a Flace well known 'to those who have frequented that part of the Ganges flowing between the towns of liar and Mongeer. The remains of this venera ble city, we believe, were first noticed by an offi cer belonging to the Invalid, establishment of .Mongeer. OLD BAILEY, Nov. 4. INFAMOUS FRAUD.—iYe,liani MOOThOitSe Stoney stood indicted for obtaining, under false preteuces, the • sum of 41. from - a poor countryman named John Campbell. This prosecution was instituted by the Hon: CommisSiouers of his Majesty's Cus toms. Mr. REYNOLDS, on lrihalf of the prosecu tion, detailed the circumstances, • which were proved as follo,es :—Atront the 23d of September, the prosecutor (Campbell) was introduced to-pri soner by a person named Richardson, and a liar gain- was entered into, by which prisoner engaged to procure for Campbell the situation of Tide waiter, for which he was to receive the sum of 351. Prosecutor could not raise the whole suni ; and it was agreed that 51. per month should be paid, till the whole sum was liquidated ; and that 51, should be paid down as the first in stalment. However, even this small sum the pro secutor could not raise; for it appeared, by pledging his wreck and making other sacri&es, he could only raise the sutn of tour pounds. This was given to the prisoner, who agreed to accompany the prosecutor to the .Custom- House, where the anointment would be completed. On arriving there, the prisoner entered one of the offices, and shortly after returned with a paper, purporting to be signed " C. Delavand," and said they must go to the Admiralty before the thing would be com plete. Ott arriviug there, some other pretended ob stacle was presented, When the prosecutor began to suspect it was a fabrication; the prisoner .was palming on him ; in this be was confirmed by the prisoner absconding. He was taken np a few days after.--The Jury immediately found him Guilty.—The Cotnmon Serjeant, after a suitable admoitition, sentenced the prisoner to be trans ported for seven years.
