The case is simple and obvious. The 'Government abroad had at a certain period abo lished the monopoly of saltpetre, by a legal en lettlent. Suck a' formal Legislative measure bli ght be supposed to be grounded on sound AOli elr, and it seemed impossible to conceive, that " t 1" Onvernnient had formally abolished, it would laddenty have re-established. Mr. WILKINSON, therefore, entered into contracts for an adequate IhI PPly of the article in question ; and the sudden "amption of the monopoly not only put an end e a all his h o p es , b ut enta il e d up on hi m severe em barrassments. All therefore that he lost, and Ill ght reasonably have expected to gain, has been 1111 . quired by the Government. To leave him then Wit -out a just satisfaction for his disappoint- , dents, incurred under the idea that what Govern -4244 had solemnly annihilated, it would not ti 1411 Ptly re-enact, would be to damp the spirit of *riterprixe, and to discourage talents that 'fight be powerfully exerted for the general ad 'tlfiltage. But the magnanimous spirit which the b "India Company have always sliewn in reward ing the services of distinguished Naval, Military, 44 d Civil Characters, excites the fullest confidence 1 : the cons i stency o f suc h j ust an d generous con et. It therefore cannot be doubted that the ildir ectors, with the full concurrence of the Pro prietors at large, will manifest the same liberal Sta Per, and, we might fairly add, the same regard the principles of justice, equity, and the en e°uragement •of public spirit on the present occa s"), and that Mr . &TON'S plain, temperate, and Ju dicious statement, will make a due impression r'n those who are to decide upon the question. iir m • % to 138NCII.—Tbis day Colonel NAPIER W3B g t ,tight up fur judgment for an assault on Mr. J. p:".

On Friday, the Albion, 74, Captain Coonc, C. B. lately returned from the Mediterranean, was paid off. The crew received three years' wages, in the whole about 15,0001. A body of them, more provident than the rest, instantly re mitted about 3,0001. to their friends, and set off soon afterward on their return home. We regret to hear that two of the crew were killed by accident, whilst employed in upriggiw! the %hilt, and several were severely bruised. The Albion was re-commissioned this morning by Cape.

CORN-EXCHANGR, MAY 24.—Having but a small supply of Whew this morning, ..Ind that principally of land-cnrhage Samples. front Essex and Kent,•and more buyers appearing than was expected, that of fine quality from the above Counties sold on full as good- terms as on this day week ; Barley is 2s. per quarter cheaper, and dull sale at that decline ; the artivals of Oats far exceeding the demand, has caused a further re- duction in the price of that article from Is. to 2s - . per quarter, and only fine fresh Corn. could be dis posed of.—ln Beaus and Pease there continues to be but little doing, and prices are nominal. SMITTIFIELII, MAY 24.—The continuance of fine weather has, Within these last three weeks, materially altered the trade in our Market, and the prices of all descriptions of meat has materially fallen. This day's Market was well sup plied with prime beasts, the trade very dull, and prices cheaper than last week; Muttofi was the same in price as per last, but Lamb was cheaper, and the trade in general brisk ; Veal has again fallen in price; Pork remains nominal. The busi ness in the Hay Market is little or none, and scarcely any buyers appearing, purchasers waiting for the New Crops, which are shortly expected at Market. and if the weather continues fine, will be at 51. per load ; Clover has again ex perienced a fall, and few sales made; Straw was dull sale, and what few sales were made this morning, were at a de cline on last week's prices. 141 r. LANE, of Stour•hilt Farm, in the parish of West Stour, in the county of Dorset, has of fered for a bet of 20 guineas, to chew 36 acres of wheat, now growing upon the said farm, against an equal number of acres that may b e growing upon any other farm in the county o f Dorset. THE THEATRES, ICING'S THIPATRE.-- -, •One of the most numerous and brilliant assenthlages of the higher orders at tended this Theatte on Saturday, that we have ever witnessed. The house was literally crowded, those who left their Seats in the pit were un able to recover them. The ALGERINE AmaAs , A - Don added to the interest of the scene. .The Opera was 11 Barbiere di Siuig(ia, which is so well sus tained that it would most probably be attractive ihrough the season, it the curiosity excited by the triumpil of Aldiaar's genius, 11 Flout() Mo gico, had not been announced for prepara tion on so grand a scale, that it will be likely wholly to absorb the attention of the musical and fashionable world. The beau tiful trio of " Zito, Zitfi," &c. was so :Fell given by GAactA. PLACCI, and MA-LOCI-11, that it wa, loudly encored. The powers oh DUPORT Wire exerted wirb great effect, and his wife improves in public opinion every night. The whole excited much applause, and concluded at the exact period of toleration. DRURY-LANs.—The new Tragedy of The Garth Chief continues to be very attractive a; this Thea tre, and was numerously attended on Siturday. COVENT-GARDEN.—A Dramatic Sketch. &c., entitled Cozening, or • Half-an-Hour in France, was brought forward on Saturday at this Theatre, It was purposely written to give scope to the mi mitic powers of Mr. YATES, in the following or der :—" a French Chamberlain"—" a great Tragic Actor"---(YOUNG)—" an Actor of All- Work—(rEttav)- 4 a noted Mimic'—(MATHEws) "a celebrated FrcuchActor"—(TALmA)—and "a' well-known Comic Actor"—(EMERY.) It is none cessary for us to enter farther into the plot than to say, that in a character called Young Mutable, Mr. YATES assumes various • disguises, in order to see his mistress, Julia. nil imitative powers are certainly extraordinary, and very well represents the peculiarities of the original Performers, and consequently it ;nay be considered as a strong implication of the liberality of their dispositions, that, without being offended, they can have those peculiarities rendered prominent to the Public. In addition to the other imitations which we have noticed, Mr. YATES. as the French Actor, gives, in a passage frum Macbeth, a specimen of the re• spective manners of KEMBLE and KEAN, as well as of TALMA. The whole was certainly very amusidg, and was very warmly received by a nu merous audience, insomuch that the disgusting practice of Mr. Ksates tdmirers, who will not suffer any body but himself to announce the per formances of the following day, on the nights when he plays, was transferred to Covent-Garden, and YATES was obliged to discharge that cere mony, though another Actor had come forward for the purpose.
