The Theatre was . completely filled, and the applause which be received was so ardent as• to appear a tribute of approbation to his motives, as well as of applause to his exertions. NATtowAt. Maakci.—We have Often noticed these admirable RECORDS of the NATIONAL GLORY, acquired dining the late War, and while we admire a work, which has now been com-. pleted by the spirit - of an . individual, we cannot but regret, that, for the honour of Government, it was not immediatelysanctioned by our Government. However, as the work; from the splendid nature of the subject, and the excellence of the work manship, so forcibly speaks for itself ; we trust, that the enterprizing and persevering Proprietor will be amply patronized by Taste and Patriotism, throughout the United Kingdom and all its De pendencies. Yesterday the PRINCE REGENT had a grand, dinner party at Carlton-house. Among the com- . pany were the Duke and Duchess of York, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, Prince Leopold, Princess Augnsta, Princess'Sophia of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent, &c.

SHOCKINGMURDER.—On Whir-Tuesday, fight took place a/ the village of Twerton, near Bath, between two brothers, named Wiltshire, of the adjoining parish of Newton. One of them had been knocked down, and the other tv.ts ill the act of kicking him, whf.ti a man, named Ashley, touched him by the elboW, and said, " Don't kick him; for if you do, you will kill him ; it is a shame for brothers to be fi , 4 lsting ;" at which Wiltshire turned round, and vociferating to Ash ley, with a tremendous oath, " I'll knock your Drains out, or any one who takes his part," in stantly struck Ashley a violent blow under his ear, who fell to the ground, never to speak again, and, after liii i ;tring till the following Friday, he died ! 'Pie Coroner's Jur y who sat on the body returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder " against Wiltshire, who has been committed to Shep(ou- Mallet for trial. PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE 18. The Oaths were administered to the Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry. 'l•he Lord Justice General (Scotland) Bill, the Banishment horn Scotland Bill, the Seamen's Wills Bill, and a Private Bill, were brought up from the 1-louse of Commons by Mr. Gilbert, Mr. M. A. Taylor, Mr. - Wright, and other Members, and read a first time, The Honduras Murders Bill was. read a third time and passed. Returns respecting Prisons in Ireland were presented by Mr. Johnson, from - the Chief Se cretary's Office. LOAN BILL. The Earl of Ltratteoot. moved the second read ing of the Loau Bill. His Lordship observed, that the terms and conditions of the Loan being generally known, it was unnecessary for him to enter into them ; fie should, therefore, confine himself to stating, that he expected this would he the last Loan that would he required during' t)te continuance of peace, notwithstanding about 5,000,0001. would be wanted next year, to make good the payments to the Bank, which, it was the opinion of their Lordships and the other House,, ought to be liquidated.--He said this with the greater satisfaction, because he conceiv ed that a system of loans tended to excite and en courage,a spirit of gambling; that was extremely injurious to the regular pursuits of commerce. The Bill was read a second , time, anal the com mitment negatived. The Standing Orders were then suspended, on his Lordship's motion, pur-. snailt to notice, and ~the Bill was read a third time and passed. BARNSTAPLE. Marquess at LANsnowNe moved the se equd reading of the Barn!taple Witnesses' Jo demnity Bill, which stage having been gene thro,,o l , his Lordship observed tpon the neces sity Of passing this Bill expeditiously, in order that the Barnstaple Bribery Bill might be got• through before the eeld of the session ; and then moved, pursuant to notice, to suspend the Stand in Orders—which being agreed to, the Bill passed through a Committee with some Amendments, was reported, and having bc.en engrossed, it was subsequently, read a third time and passed. BANK CASH PAYMENTS. The Earl moved the second read ng of the,. Bank Ca•h Payments' Bill, ohservin, that it WEIS understood the debaie was to take pinee on the question ,for the commitment. • The Marquess of LANsnowN agreed that such . was the understanding, in order to suit the con venience of seeeial Noble Lords, and that, of course, a Bill of this great importance must be come a - subject of their Lordships' serious discus sion. The Earl of LAUDERDALE was anxious to hear . from the Noble Earl (Liverpool) some explana tion as to the means by which the making silver a legal tender only to the amount of 401. could pre, vent the effect derivable from the great difference in the value of silver under the Mint regulations, as compared with geld, or how the principle of the 1311 . 1 could be rendered operative, when a pre- Mium of 10 pry. cent. was in effect given for the coining of counterfeit silver coin. The Bill was read a second time, and com mitted for Monday. APPEAL OF MURDER-WAGER OF BATTLE. The Lotto CHANCELLOR,OIIIIIOVing the second reading of the Appeal of Al order, Wager of Bat tle Abolition Bill, went at some length into the consideration of the question, first, as to the Wa ger of Battle, in a Writ of Right, relative to real property, respecting the last case of which, in 1578, he read from Mr. Kendall's Book, lately published, a narrative of the proceedings in a suit in which Wager of Bsttle was claimed ; and ob served, that no doubt either could or did exist in the mind of any one that Wager of Battle, for the purpose of determining a right to- property, ought to be abolished. With regard to Wager of Battle, in Appeals of Treason, Murder, &c. some men of great eminence, amongst whom were Chief Justice Holt, and, at a Liter period,' Lord Ashburton, had been of opinion that the appeal of murder ought not to be abolished, and that having been the case, it was undoubtedly due to their Lordships to enter more fully into the consideration of the question. Two petitions had been presented against this Bill, in one of which, from the City of London, the petitioners appear ed to he of opinion that the appeal of murder might be retaioed without the wager of battle. He (the. Lord Chancellor) was however, decided ly of opinion, that without the wager of battle the appeal of murder could not remain. His Lordship then, after describing the natura of the suit in an appeal of murder, proceeded to quote a Report of the well known case of the appeal of murder by William Ashford against Abraham Thornton.—His Lordship then proceeded to state, that in the event of conviction upon such proceed ing, the King could not pardon, while even, atter an acquittal tinder indictment, the widow, or next heir, might appeal, so that the ap pellor was more favoured than the Crown itself. To take away the right of proceeding by wager of battle must produce a great but a necessary change in the Constitution in this respect. As the law now stood, a person proved tinder indict ment to be perfectly innocent, might be pro ceeded against in tie form of wager of battle. From every view of it, therefore, the law ought out to remain, unless they were prepared to say that their tel ought riot to have the protection of Magistrates, the protection of pro ceedings before Grand Juries, or the protection which they generally had front that maxim of the law which says, that a matt ought not to be tried twice for the same offence. He dwelt on the ab surdity of leaving the power of pardon to the pro secutor in the appeal, while it was denied to the Crown, though surrounded with responsible ad visers. Those advisers might, it was true, give wrong advice in some instances, but the chances were a thousand to one in their favour as com pared with the probable consequences of leaving such a power to the other party. They had the authority of Mr. Pox for saying, that there could be no just trial without a power of pardon lodged somewhere. The power of pardon in the Crown was in fact a right of the sub et, fur it was ne cessary to the distribution of justice, and could no where he lodged with so much benefit to the sub ject as in the Crown. his LorAship concluded with observing, that he was not only satisfied at to the course which (heir Lordships would take on that occasion, but could not help expressing his astonishment how the 'law could have been permitted to exist so long. Thi Bill then .went through a Committee, and was reported. The Cotton Factories Bill went through a Com. mittee, and was ordered to he reported on Wed nesday next.—Adjourned till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MISCELLANEOUS. Mr. JOHNSON, from the Office of the Chief Se. cretary of Ireland, presented several Revenue •Ac. counts.—Qrdered to lie on the table. 111 r.

A, motion for an Account of the Annual lin portation,of Butter for the last twenty years was made, and agreed to. 'The Tobacco Bill was read a second time, and committed for Monday. Mr. COKE, of Norfolk,<.presen!ed a petition from certain merchants of the County of Nortolk, complaining of the hardships which the Agricul , . tura' Interest would suffer if the New Malt D6ty were passed into a law.—Ordered to lie on the . table. Mr. COKE, 'of Norfolk, presented a petition from certain inhabitants .of Norfolk, complaining of the Bonding System,.and praying for Ordered to lie on the table. . The same Honourable Member presented ape- tition from certain Merchants of the County of Norfolk, praying for - retrenchment and economy in the Public Expenditure. The table Would have been crowded with petitions against the new Taxes, had the Chancellor of the Exchequer not used the extraordinary expedition which marked his conduct. The Hon. Member did not know whether he was strictly in order by presenting such a petition at this time, but he was at the d:scretion of the House. The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER moved that the House, at its rising, do adjourn to Mon day next.—Ordered. Mr. BASTARD presented a petition from certain inhabitants of Devonshire, praying for some alte rations in the Bill for the Recovery of Small Debts.—Read and ordered to lie on the table. Mr. Baoonex brought up the Report of the Committee on the Glass Duty Tax.—The Bill was brought in, read a first time, and ordered for a second reading. • • • Loud EDWARD SOMERSET held i n h is hand a pe• tition from a' large body 01 his constituents against the tax on Foreign Wool. Although be knewnit could not, on account of late period offered to the House, be received; yet he thought it incum4 bent upon hint to state the receipt of it personally, in order that his constituents might see he was vigilant in their interest, and that the petition had been received at too late a stage against Tax Bill. The Irish Mail Coach' Contract Bill was reati second time, and Ordered to be committed ott Monday. THE TAX BILLS. Mr. firtoGDEN brought up the Report of the Assessed Tax Composition was read, and ordered for its further progress on Monday next. On the third reading of the Lotteries' Bill, Mr. LYTTLETON took the opportunity- of con. demning the measure. Notwithstanding Mr. Wheeler, Sheriff' of Dublin, had been eonriete4 of insurances through the medium of the Little- Go, he saw his name among the persons licensed to act as a Lottery Office-keeper. lie thought tie altancellor of the Exchequer was very much to blame in countenancing► this insult to society and.violation of tile law. CHANCELLoR of the EXCHEQUER replied in such a low tone, that we regret we could not hear the : Right Hon. Gentle:l'4n. We svippose he said something in extenuation of the person men tioned, as Mr. LYTTLRTON rose uP indignantly, And loud ly maintained, that Mr. Wheeler was convicted for keeping a Little•go shop. The lion. Mem ber expressed a hope that they would not next year hear any more of this scandalous Little-gcs Sheriff.--(Laughter.) The Bill was then read a third time and passed. On the Order of the Day for the 1-louse to re solve itself into a Committee on the Excite Du ties Bill, The Marquess of TAVISTOCK could not allow such taxes, and at such a time of distress, to pass, with• out bestowing on them the condemnation whielt they deserved. The Noble Marquess thought it nu proof of the virtue or popularity of the Ministers that they should carry additional taxes on the poor by the acclamations of thtir partisans within these walls. If any Member ventured to state his opinion in opposition to these taxes, he wee immediately attempted to be put. down by a refer ence to their triumphant majorities in i'nfliameut..
