We trust, that if The Morning Chronicle does not wish to throw off the mask, and acknowledge at once that it is a Radical, that, for the credit of ha character, it will exclude all these reprehensi ble comments of its Reporter from the statements 0 1 4 the Proceedings, and that the Coroner will ant suffer him to remain in Court if he, presumes 4 gtlin to take the, same liberties, THE Ttmrs.!---The Letter of i\ir. ST. JOHN, of X'orwich, which we find was in The Courier as bell as The Sun of last night, has naturally drawn forth all :the venom. of The Times, which it spits *ittb affected contempt - of the Norwich Reading I Zborn (one among the many which has discardrd it throughout the Country), but reserves all its fury for the Gentleman who transferred all its tient spi►it to the New Times. But it does not forget its policy, amidst all its rage, for it threatens to retort to its old trick of publishing the number of its sate, en affidavit. This is the only consola tion which it can feel amidst general contempt, indignation, and we may add abhorrence, for a Itrore detestable time-serving Paper never disgraced "Le Public Press. As to the effusions of its venom they ore perfectly harmless, according to the words of the Poet : " Of all mad creatures, if the Learn'd are right, "It is the B:aver kills, and not t he tile." The teeth which formerly enabled the Old Times 1 ° bite hard, are now transplanted to the New Tames, where they appear to be as strongly routed if they were of native growth. A Con mon Mill was held this day at Guildhall, *hen the names of Alderman BKYDGES and Aldcr n►an THORP having been returned to the Court Aldermen, they chose the former, who was declared LOAD MAYOR for the year ensuing.

ST.LFMNARD'S, SHOREDITCH.—Yesterday, pnr sttant to a Requisition presented to the Church werdens, a meeting was to have been held in the church, relative to the late transactions at Man chester. About ,ninety persons attended, chiefly composed of boys and passengers who came to the spot by mere accident. After some consultation among the Requisitionists, it was found that the meeting could not be considered as representing the patish, in conseqnence of the Act of Parlia ment, prescribing that no meetings could be held to express the opinions of the parishoners, unless such meetings, were held in the public Vestry, un der the superintendence of the Churchwardens. It w a s 04e / sti,r e agreed to adjourn the present meeting, sine die, and to present a new Requisi tion, calling for a Vestry meeting. It was truly ludicro ti a to witness the ;teat disappointment felt by some of the orators, who had come prepared with speeches. The Churchwardens were lint present, nor was the use of the church allowed. The few pet sons who were present, were in front of the church, tinder the piazza. The whole was as ridiculous and laughable a scene as can wdl be imagined. SouTnwAßK.—Yesterday, a Meeting of the Parishioners of St. John, Southwark, took place in the Ves(ty-room, Fair-street, Horseiydovvo, take into coneideration the events at Manchester, On the 16th day of Atignit. About eleven o'clo c k, Air. Cotton, one of the Churchwardens, took the Chair. A person named Gillies proposed a string of Resolutions, condemning the Magistrates and Yeomanry. They rerc seconded by a Mr. black and agreed to. THE THEATRE. „• , • DatraY-Lak— f E.oe popular upera orG uy illanrieriv, so well dramatized from the popular novel of that name, was represented for the first time last n;ght at this Theatre. It was an well supported in all its characterS ar Covent-Garden Theatre that the Performers of brory• Lane had a very arduous task tii undertake. .(3ut it is on more than justice to all the prioelp.ll Performers to say that they acquitted theffiselves very ab!y through•. out, and the general iinpressitio of the piece did not pall by comparison. Mrs. Et4EaTc.t;:, so strangely discharged fromCorent;Garden Theatre, resumed 14 ” night the Bart of Meg Merritiei, her perform ance of which would alone statnp her character as an excellent Actress. She was received on her entrance whit very great applauSe,. it is not possible that the original Author's co nception of the character could he more completely personat ed. The chief novelty last night was A Mr. BUTLER. who perforthed the part of handii Dininont. He very properly took the outliue of EMERY, but gave many proofs of original con ception, and supported it throughout with chit. ratoeristic spirit. Lucy Bertram had a very inte resting representative in Miss CAEEw, who sung with great pathos and skill. Miss Povev, who appeared in No Song No Supper, was last night Julia Mannering. She is a lively,/ spirited gill, with a strong and extensive voice, and she sang and acted in such a manner as already to render her a favourite. BRALIAM, in Henry -Bertram, gave such proofs of musical energy and skill, that he was obliged to give Scots soda uri' Wallace bled three times, and we should nut have won derer) if it had been required again. OXBERRY, without following the steps of LISTON, who gave such effect to the parrof Dominie, supported the character with truth and humour. In the second act Silas CUBIT? came forward as one of the Gip sies, but, on her attempting to sing, &els taken with sudden indisposition, and obliged to re-tire from the Stage. This circumstance occasioned a temporary pause, but the appearance of Mrs. BLAND, who sting a short air, enabled the piece to proceed without interruption.—Mr. RUSVRLL, at the end of the Opera, came forward to explain the cause, which he did in very respectful terms, and was much applauded. On the whole, it is but justice to the new Management to say, that the Opera, last night, was supported by such able Performers, and was so correctly represented, that it went off with all tile raciness of novelty, and is likely to become a very attractive piece through the season. There was a numerous, but not a crowded audience. FOR 'ri-ii SUN. Air. EDITOR—It seems to be evident that a hoax, as the slang of Iberia!, is, has been practised on the. Public in a Letter with the signature_ of Mr. I 1 BAN, which your Correspondent CANDIDUs* seems by solid reasoning, to have proved to be really a hoax. But why should CANDIDUS sup pose that the Editor of the Sunday Paper bas been concerned in this hoax, for the purpose of attract ing Public attention ? It is probable, that he also was hoaxed, arid it is probable, that on Sunday next he will insert a denial of an inll,loSitiOn, Si) injurious to the popular Actor of the day. OLD DUBIOUS. * W e hare had so many applications for the Letter of CANDI s, in our Paper of yesterday, that we have republished it in our fourth Page this day.

Whatert.r obi; ctions may be raised against the taste and architecture of the houses in Regent- Str e et, opposite Carlton-house, none can be urged against the structure forming the apparent (et minat ion of the street in Piccadilly. The symmetry and beauty of the front elevation of the County Fite Office is generally acknowledged : it ought not to be concealed by ruins and rubbish, yet %%kb these the street in front of it continues to he cloaked up, so that the house is only aeccssi ble from a street in the ri.orr. Ctiptain It JONRs, of the 67th Regiment, eldest son of PHILLIP JONES, EST of Cleeve, near Ross, was unfortunately drowned on Saturday last in crossing tie river Wye, at Setback Ford, on his return home from Pouistone, the seat of his uncle.

The aggregate number of admissions for the present year, at - the vat boos Collcges, is unusually large, and is supposed to exceed that of any for mer period in the annals of the fjiiiveisity. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has been up on a visit ;or a few dlys at Gogtnagog Hills , the seat of Lord Francis Osborne; he inspected the public buildings of this Uoiveisity on Saturday-, and left the Hills for London on Monday morn ing : on which day another of his Majesty's Mi nisters, Lord Castlereagh, paid a visit also to the University; and after viewing the different ob jects of curiosity, to which he was conducted by the Vicc , Chancellor, his Lordship and Lady Cas tlereagh proceeded to the Earl of Chatham's seat, at Abington, in this county. Amongst the various improvements which have taken place in this University during the preced. ing vacation, we cannot refrain from noticin g the embellishment of the Idalrof Clare• Hall. This spacious room, which is entirely pannelled with beautiful oak, had, it seems, been painted over the early part of last century ; and it is almost impossible to conceive how the bad taste of that age could so far prevail as to consign to ne glect this elegant wainscotting. We understand that it has now been restored to its original state, by the application of a chytnical composi tion ; and the paint has thereby been taken off by a process at once curious and difficult. The hail now corresponds with the library, combination room, and chipel, belonging to this College, which for the chasteness of their design and ele gance of decoration, equal any thing of the kind in the University. We learn that the same pro cess which has been here adopted, will shortly be applied in restoring some parts of the splendid wainscotting in Winchester cathedral. BLACKHEATII ADDRESS.

We are happy to hear two new Churches are shortly to be erected in the Parish of Camberwell. We wish very touch to see the Crhoti4 Commis sioners more actively engaged in promotio4 the great object of their appointment but we are fearful that their powers under the Statute are not sufficiently extensive to enable them to do mor e than they have done. CHILD-STEALING.—Tuesday a little girl, five years old, named Margaret lietumitigway, was at play with some other children in lied Lion market, St. Luke's, when a Lady, dressed in the • first style of elegance and fashion, decoyed the child a‘vay with the promise of buying her some fruit ; several of the other children wanted to accompany their play -mate, but the Lady told them to return, and she would send them some ; neither her nor the child, however, have been seen or heard of since. The mother of the chill has kept her bed ever since she heard of the loss, and little hopes are entertained of her re covery.
