The character of Falstaff was supported by Mr. S. KEMBLE, with plain good sense and unaffected humour through out, as well as with firmness and spirit. Mr. RAE succeeded Mr. KEAt4 in the part of Hotspur, and was well received. At the end of the play Mr. S. KEMBLE came forward before he had thrown off his Falstars attire, and addressed the audience in the following terms : ADIES AND GENTLEMEN—I am requested by the Proprie tors and the Performers to , offer yon their sincere ;tallow_ ledgments,for the patronageconferred upon this Theatre, and they beg me to assure you, that it will stimulate them to fur ther and greater exertions for your amusement, when they have next the honour of appearing before you. During the vacation, it is intended thoroughly to repair the Theatre, and to embellish and beautify it in a manner worthy of your reception, and to strengthen the company with all the talent that can he procured. For myself, in my official capacity, I have been received with such indulgence as puts it out of my power to thank you as I ought, and I wish to take this oppor tunity of publicly returning my thanks to my brother actors, by whose assistance I have been enabled to perform the du ties of my arduous situation. They have conducted them selves towards me like friends and brethren, and my thanks are due to every individual.• I mention this, because I know an opiniOn prevails that there is always a schism behind the .curtain ; but so much the contrary has been the case in the present season, that the harmony which has subsisted has been like that of a private family. As this is probably the last time I shall ever have the honour of addressing you, I find my feelings deeply affected in pronouncing the word Farewell. May health, happiness, and prosperity attend you all. The energy and feeling with which he delivered this extempore Address, particularly towards the conclusion, - made a strong impression on the au dience, who returned it with shouts of applause, waging of handkerchiefs in all parts, and every testi►uony of respect and approbation. These warm, repeated, and universal tokens of ap probation, are honourable to the Public, to the Pet son who "received them, and to the whole of the theatrical Company ; inasmuch as it sl►ews that Mr. KEMBLE had so judiciously condoeted himself as Manager, that the Performers had widely testified their conviction of his having acted with a full sense of duty to the concern, and with kindness. to theinselves.—Mr. KEMBLE was evidently much affected, and we under stand that his feelings were still more agitated as the whole of the Performers, male and fe male, assembled round him in the Green•-room to take a friendly and affectionate leave of hint, and to express their hopes, that whatever might be the future arrangements of this Theatre, lie would be retained in that Post which he had so generously resigned,rthough he had been engaged toltold it for 5 years. The entertainment of Syluester Daggerwoud followed, and the hero of which displayed with great spirit the eccentricities of the character, and gave some close and exact imitations of several of the London Actors. His name is said to be REEVES. He was much applauded. The whole concluded with the Farce of Modern Antiques.— The house was full; SPORTING INTELLIGF,NCE. ASCOT HEATH RACES.—FrrisT DAY. These Races commenced yesterday. There was a More nu merous assemblage of beauty and fashion than w , e ever recol lect on a first day.

HOP INTELLIGENCE. SOUTHWARK, JUNE 7.—Our Market is not so brisk as it was ; the accounts from the plantations come more favourable, and the duty has been done to-day at 120,0001. .I,3ags support their prices, but Pockets are on the decline and heavy sale. WORCESTER, JUNE4.—On Saturdayl43 pockets were weighed ; an advance took place in the prices, which now average 61. to 71. 7s.—Our ac counts from the plantation are by no means un favonrable : the flies have not yet appeared in sufficient number to injure the plant, neither have the late frosts caused so much mischief as might have been expected. The duty of the kingdom is quoted at 90,0001. sotna persons state it lower. A fatal accident happened a few days since to one of the labourers employed in the excavating and blowing Of) the rocks for the intended New Dock at Pembroke Yard. in letting off a gun (as it is termed) by the explosion one of the stories struck the poor fellow upon the head, and lite rally dashed it to atoms. The- spectacle was dreadful ; the unfortunate man was in course in stantly dead. I i ARLIAM:t'I4Te HOUSE OF LORDS, JtJNE 8.

The Contagious Diseases (Ireland) Bill, and some Private Bills, were brought up from the House of Commons by Mr. Blackburn, and other Members, and read a first time. The Church Be nefices Bill was also returned, agreed to, by Mr. Brogden, and other Members. The Colonial Clergy Ordination Bill was read a second time, and committed tor to-morrow. The Earl of LAUDERDALE postponed his ques tions to the Judges till Tuesday next ; and the LORD CHANCELLOR, as was undeistood, the second reading' of the Wager of Battle Abolition Bill till Wednesday.—Adjourned till to-morrow (this day.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. WHITTLE HARVEY gave notice of a motion for Thursday.next, as to Grievances under the process of the Court of Exchequer. The Irish Grand Jury Presentment Regulation Bill was read a first time. Second reading fixed for that day se'nnight. THE CASE OF CROOK, THE SAILOR. Sir F. BURDETT said, that the individual Crook, whose case was stated in a petition to that House, was desirous to have the question brought b e f ore a Court ofiaw. He wished to know, as Sir Wm. Hoste was nut in the country to be served with process, whether the Admiralty would permit its Solicitor to enter an appearance for that Officer ? Mr. CROKER said the Admiralty could not, in his judg ment, act in the manner pointed out, without the authority of Sir Wm. Hoste. It would be a most indecent interference. As the leave of absence of that Officer had nearly expired, his arrival in England might be soon expected. Sir F. BIJRI)ETT said a few words in a very low tone.— It was understood that he gave a notice for Thursday next on the subject. Sir JAMES MONTGOMERY presented a petition from a Mr. Pringle, complaining of certain grievances in North America. Mr. BENNET expressed himself anxious, as he was aware of the transaction, to know whether any ulterior measure was in contemplation ? Sir JAMES MONTGOMERY gave notice of a motion on the subject for Thursday next.—The petition was ordered to lie on the table. Mr. DENISON presented petitions from two individuals confibed for debt in the King's Bench, against the Insolvent Debtors' Bill.—Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. WILBERFORCE postponed his motion relative to General Boyd till Friday next. , STEAM ENGINES. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR called the attention of the House to the practicability of Steam Engines and Furnaces being so constructed as to consume their own smoke. The evil effects of the present construction were acknowledged : they clouded the atmosphere, and were prejudicial to the public health and comfort. His object was topropose a Select Committee to examine 'the ablest artists, and before the Session ended to make a partial Report. There would thus be no compulsory mode at once.. In the next Session, if, as he had nu doubt, the practicability was recommerided, he should then, with the leave of the House, introduce a Bill to that effect. He ccn cruded with moving for a Select Committee. Mr. CURWEN approved of the proposition, and had no doubt its accomplishment would be attended with great benefit, without any injury to those who used these Engines. The Motion was carried, and the Select Committee ap pointed. The Warden of the Fleet's Escape Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. Mr. NI. A. TAYLOR gave notice, that on Friday he should move for an Account of the several Sums of Money paid into the different Courts of Requests within the Bills of Mortality, by the Suitors in said Courts. COlonel BARRY obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Law for regulating the Trial of Irish Controverted Elections. CAME LFORD ELECTION. • Mr. Ley appeared at the Bar with the Reduced List of the Committee appointed to try the merits of (he Camelford Election Petition. The names were— G. Sinclair, D. W.liar;;3, - E7Wodellonse, T. Dundas, J, H. Tremayne, S. J. Lloyd, J. Hume, G. Byng, W. G. Lang. ton, T. M c Kenzie, S. B. Moreland, Wm, Miles, Lord C. So. merset Manners, James Macdonald, J. S. Copley. SLAVE REGISTRY. . On the motion of Mr. GOULBURN, the Hoare resolved itself into a Committee on the Slave L4ws. Mr. GOULBURN said, he rose to request permissidtt to hring in a Bill to establish a Registry of Colonial Slaves in this Kingdom, and fee Regulating the Removal of Slaves from British Colonies. He took a review of the many rea sons offered in the year 1915 in favour of the measure, and of the objections that then interposed to prevent its accom plishment. It was in the recollection of those who attended to that gnest ion. that a Registry was recommended as a means to cheek the illicit importation of Slaves that was then supposed to be going on in the West Indies. Every thing that came to his knowledge since convinced - him' that no such clandestine traffic took place at the period, or at any time since that discussion. The presumption of the exist ence of the traffic was gronnded on the difference in the Re turn of the Slaves in the Island of Trinidad on the enforce ment of the Registry, and on the census a short time before. But the same circumstance was to be found by the Returns in the Island of Barbadoes, where no disposition for that clandestine importation existed, and where, even if it had, it was impossible to have carried it into effect, Barbadoes be ing a naval station. The measure be now proposed was founded on a narrower basis than that proposed in 1815 ; but the reason was, that the Colonial Legislatures had taken up the subject so efficiently as to render the extension at home Unnecessary. It was only desirable that there should be in this country an office established, under the superintendence of an individual, where duplicates of the Colonial Registry 'should be recorded, and to which it would be in the power of those who wished for information on the subject to make a reference. He concluded with moving for leave to bring in the Bill. Mr. WILBERFORCE supported the principle of the pro posed Bill, the provisions of which would become the subject of future consideration. He expressed his hope that the great and generous Nation which had exhibited so much valour,, and. so many other excellent qualities during our late contest with her, would not much longer allow a sordid love of gain to interfere with the discharge of the highest du ties of humanity, as connected with this subject. It gave him great concern to hear, that during the last two years, 50,000 slaves had been imported into the Havanuah ! He trusted that this dreadful traffic would not long continue. The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to defend the Bill which he had himself introduced for the registry of slaves, from various imputations which had been east upon it, and expressed his hope that the Honourable Gentleman would follow up the present measure, by seeing that the apprentices in the various islands were really taken care of. Mr. GORDON warmly remonstrated against the establish ment of a new odice for carrying the object of the Bill into effect. An additional clerk to that third Secretary of State's office, which already cost the public 29,0001. a year, would, in his opinion, be quite sufficient for the purposes of the measure. Instead of which, it was proposed to create a number of fees, and if those fees should prove inadequate to the remuneration of the new establishment, to carry the sur plus to the Civil List ! _ _ _ _ Mr. MARItYAT also deprecated the establishment of a new office; however desirable the adoption in this country of a Register of Slaves, he was persuaded that references to it would not be numerous, as the attornies in various colo nies would he employed in preference to make any requisite inquiries, and, therefore, that if any Gentleman already in the Colonial Office would devote two hours in two days in the week, he would do all that was necessary, at least, that ought to,he tried ; more especially in times like the present, when the most rigorous public economy was declared by all parties to be indispensible. Lord MILTON thought the proposed Register most de sirable, as aiding in the object of vindicating our motives, and showing that while we called on other nations. to abolish I the Slaie Trecie, *e *eft dtterchined to effect that abolitiri on our own part. AN r a f e w Words in reply frtini Mr. Gou'burn, leave war granted to bring in the ASSESSED TAXES. Mr. BROUGHAM complained. that in sbme places the Collector of Assessed Taxes had taken upon himself to issue a notice that they should be paid on the 25th of March; where as they only fiecanit due taVii months atter To this notice xn intiMation was' appended, that if the money was not paid a crown process might be issued. Stich a ;4:artier bad prevailed three years since at Edinburgh, where it was now retired, but on being informed of it, the Right Hjli. •:;en tleman opposite (the ChanCellot of the Exchequer) had in quired into the subject, and removed the grievance. He now Wished to linow, whether any Treasury directions had been issued to make that regular Whicb,had formerly been admit.: ted to be an irregularity ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied in so low a tone, that all that could be heard in the Gallery was, that the early receipt of the taxes was of great ad vantagy to the revenue. Mr. BROUGHAM acknowledged that it might be an ad- Vantage to the revenue, but it was one to which the country was not entitled. It also enabled , Collectors of Taxes to keep large balances for a considerable time in their bands, from whirl, they might derive undue profits: The conversation having dropped, On the motion of Sir J. NEWPORT, an account. was or dered be laid before the House, of the official and declared value of several artides imported into Ireland from Great Britain, during the last five years. Mr. F. ROBINSON obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Act of the 55th Geo. 111. r. 60, regarding seamen's wills. Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a petition froni William Henry Innis, stating the conviction of the petitioner, that the witnesses examined before the Committee on the Resumption of Cash Payments, were all in error—(A laugh.)—and that the return to Cash Payments would be highly injurious th the country; and praying to be heard at the Bar iu confirmation of his opinions. —Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. Alderman WOOL) presented a petition, signed by a great number of Protestant Dissenters, resident in London and Westminster, praying for an Amendment of the Mar riage Act.—Ordered to lie on the table. FINANCE REPORT. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the Order of the Day for bringing up the Report of the Finance Committee.—Agreed to. Mr. liaoonete then brought up the Report...- On the question that it be agreed to, Mr. CURWEN strongly objected ro the measures proposed by his Majesty's Ministers. He con tended, that since the peace the income of the country had been reduced one-fourth, from 400 t 0.300 millions sterling. The weight of taxa tion upon this diminished income was therefore equal to what it had been upon the whole, when the Property Tax and the Malt arty were in existence.' Was this a time to lay fresh imposts upon the people Some the new taxes propos ed were most impolitic, cruel, and oppressive, particularly the additional duty upon malt, which would affect all the lower classes, and increase their unfortunate propensity tosdrink spirits. The tax upon foreign wool might gratify agricultura lists, but, if adopted, would destroy one of the most important branches of our manufactures. If it had not been for the corrupt influence which the Ministers possesed, it would have beets im. possible for them to obtain the majorities which had lately supported their most obnoxious mea sures. He wished them at least to defer the exe cution of their plans to the next Session, when the difficulties of the country might be diminished. Instead of opposing, he might then support them, but at present their resolutions should have his hearty denial. Sir H. PARNELL objected to the proposed ape plication of the Sinking Fund, as constituting a breach of faith towards the public creditor. He described a large portion of the expenditure in curred during the course of the war as totally unnecessary, and contended that no retrenchment would have been carried into effect since the peace, if Parliament had not violently wrenched the Property Tax from the hands of his Majesty's Ministers. He had no doubt, however, that more millions might have been 'saved bad econo my been sincerely and seriously Attended to during the last four years. Unless Ministers consented to give up a large portion of the patronage .which they now enjoyed, it would be vain to expect any further retrenchments. He urged the necessit? of improving the mode of colecting the public revenue, in which a considerable saving might be effected ; fewer clerks might be emeloyed to make up the public accounts, without any detriment to the service of the country. There were 64 Commissioners for the collection of the Revenue; that number might certainly be reduced. In the superintendence of the National Expenditure, as well as in the collection of the Revenue, much saving could also take place. He then pointed out several other practicable reductions, and stated that as he understood an [lon. Friend of his in tended to propose an amendment to the bringing up of the Report, he should leave the subject in his hands, as better fitted for the task. Mr. P. Mooas, as a Representative of the Peo. ple, could not consent to vote any addition to their burtheus. He complained of the manner in which the Ministers bad hitherto employed the Sinking Fund. It bad been instituted for the purpose of decreasing taxation by keeping the Funds low, but they had used it to create an unnatural rise, which bad operated against the reduction of the National Debt. He concluded by pledging him self to his constituents and the country at large not to agree to any of the present taxes. Mr. Home thought that his Majesty's Ministers deserved the thanks of the House for having laid before it a fair statement of the financial difficul ties of the country, but he differed entirely from them as to the remedy which they proposed. The taxes which they brought lot ward fell .entirely upon the classes, least able to pay them. lie would have preferred voting for a Property Tax, which should have reached only those whcae means were competent to bear the burlier]. He reproved the Hon. Member for Liverpool (Mr. Canning) for having ridiculed the idea of retrench ment in small items, and called them Os. Bd. reduc tion. Diet Hun. Member should have recollected how many families toiled frotn Monday morn ing till Saturday night . to gain less than 6s: Btl. Was not this the case with the Carlisle weavers at present ?--He contended that many reductions of great importance could have been effected, which remained unapproached. Our colonies might pay the troops by which they were kept.— In the lonian islands and our new colonies 10,000 troops were employed, whose pay amonnted to 400,0001. besides a charge of 200,0001. for the Commissariat. Yet it was agreed by treaty that the lonian islands should pay for their own mili tary establishment of 3000 met', which cost the country 99,00 W. Why dio not the Noble Lord, who wishes to keep the article of the Treaty *vitt&
