There have also been vet y considerahl , bodies or assemblages of people in the country al: round, apparently concerting together how they should act.—One of the measures being discover td to be the seizure of the arms of the 350 Vete rans, who had yesterday artived, much fatigued, after a march of 34 miles, without intermission, and w hi c h was to h a ve 6-en accomplished by a general attack on these troors in their varters during the night. In one case they succeeded in obtaining the arms from one of them early in the inorning ; but, to prevent the execution of this plan, the whole were kept together, under arms, during the . night. " 1 understand that in the country many houses have been attacked and robbed of their arms last night but I have the satisfaction to add, that at Mr. Robertson's, of Toxbar, Bleakfield, about three miles troru this, the attack was resisted, and successfully a good many shots were ex changed in the attack and defence, and the re. suit is, that one of these Radicals was shot through the heart and died immedia:ely ; and, from the (pawky of blood. found about the place after time robbers fled, there is little doubt but se veral of them must be severely wounded. This happened between 11 and 12 last night. To-day the town seems still in a very disturbed state. party of the Hussars have just been sent to escort the body of the dead traitor to town. " The spirit of the town is ill a bad state, and mast in some way be checked, or more serious consequences will soon be felt." • THE REVENUE. , CHARGE OFCONSOLIDATED FUND TO APRIL 5, 1820 Exchequer Annuities.

THE THRATEE.—A Gentleman came forward last night at Drury- lane Theatre, who was stated to have appeared on the public hoards only once before. His performance was highly respectable for a Novice, and though he had, no doubt, many friends in the house, vet he had also a strong Support in the liberal feelings of the audience in general, He is tall, his figt:re is altogether manly. There is a tuournttti expression in his countenance that well corresponds %%lilt the na ture and bitnation of the character; His voice is bot powerful, but much is to be allowed for the agitation naturally arising berme ti,e awful Pression of a London Andienee. He was obviously Well acquainted with the text and general scope of thecharacter, but there was something laboured in his utterance, and in the length of his pauses he even exceeded Mr. KEAN. His deportment l'Nuires regulation, but that is an objection Which practice 'soon wears away.

Edward Forster was put to the Bar, charged with 3 misdemeanour in hiving uttered certain seditious wnrds, or anti concerning his Royal Hig'oness the Duke of York, and the soldiers of the King; and in another count, of using seditious expressions of and concerning our Lord the King himself. Mr. ADOLPHUS and Mr. PLATT appeared for the prosecHtion. which was inst►tuted at the instance of the Officers of the 3rd Regiment of Foot Guards. The Particulars of the case have been already published in the Police Reports. 'the Jury found the prisoner Guilty. The Chair man toil him it was not a light. otftnce, and it was proper that such persons should he taught to restrain their tongues ; he was sentenced to six months imprisonment in the tionieot Correction, and to give security for his good behaviour in the sum of 501. fur two years. SIIt lIARCUIIItT LEES. A con piracy, it is stated, has been discovered, which had for its object the assassinatid`n of Sir Harcourt Lies and his family, at his residence. Lssexford, near Ardee. The Hibernian Journal of yesterday places before its renders the following letter from Sir Harcourt himself upon the sub ject : " In the true spirit of Popery, its intended vic tim, a Protestant ; its obj, et blood ; its means assassination ; I was prepared to meet it, as the author or the Antidote would the tortures of the 1"d ►isitiou, in det,oce of my King, my-Country, amid nay Religion. I was well repined for the villains, if they attacked my house. A daring and dveimitied spirit which, through lite, has never deserted me, supported me in cheerfulness, and in the enjoyment of my usual amusements. Not a human being but my informer, whose ob ject was to discover the names and residences of the assassins, had the most distant conception of any timing, more than common, engaging my attention; although in parting my ciiildren at night, I looked at (item as it it might be the last time we tdiall meet on eatth ; for 1 may say, I have slept neon fire-arms, being hilly resolved, if these tolerant legislators in embryo, come within range of my shot, they would after wards think pniga!opy a trifle to it. On Wed nesday I discovered the names I so long wished for—aod, at twelve lock that night, with time prompt and judicious assistance of that most inva luable magistrate, Filgate, these patriotic and tadtcal murderers were secured; and I was rewarded in believing that I had been the means of hteaking op a system that might soon have involved the lives of warty Magistrates, had 1 evinced the least pievions uneasiness, or dread ot my own existence being endangered."--(Dublin Pulriot, dpril 4.) It has been stated to its, upon authority, tha previous to •he trials of the itibbontwu at th, Galway Assizes taking place, threateni.g letters - ,vere sent to the Judge, the Sheriff, and those SUMMOued on the Jury, slating, that it ;he pri soners, were punished, they " would have tltc town levelled about their eats." In consequelic, of this threat, the miiihiry were on the alert east day, and the Courts were kept entirely tree Iron, the great concocrse nt people which were at all times previously suffered to remain inside Chit doors.—(Clare Journal.) DINNER TO COMNIEMORATE. THE RETIT RN OF sat w. cUtuns 'l'o PARLIAMENT.. Yesterday a mast nomerous and respectable flatly of Gentlemen dined together at the London celebrate the return of Sit W. Cu BTIS, fir the seventh'time, as one of the Representa tives of the City of London in Parliament. The grand hail•tootn was most tastefully and 01'114- muntally fi , ted up for the occasion. On the side opposite the windows, to the right, was fixed, in an elegant tranletrency, the Coat of Arms of the Honourable Baronet, gracefully entwined in a wreali of law el, and surmounted by surge linn;.; crimson tapestry, bearing the inscripTiou of " King, Lords, and Commons." In the centre was als,, snspenc!ed some tapestry of the same description, and on it was inscribed " God save the King." To the lett, on the sante side, was fixed in a transparency, the vroviby Baronet's crest, encircled to the same manner as the coat of arms, and surmounted with drapery bearing the inscription " Ships, Colonifs, and Coin !tierce " The orchestra did not afford the least gtatifying spectacle to the eye : it was hung with the banners of the Diapers' Company, ►o which the lion. Baronet belongs, accompanied by Otte bearing his own arms. and one of those of the City, the whole tastefully interspersed with olive branches, roses, evergreens, &c. In it was placed a most excellent band, which occasiotally amused the company wi , h some beautiful airs ; indeed, the whole presented a most pleasing appearance. At about six o'clock, Sir W. en: tis arrived, accompanied by Sir S. C. Minter, Sir J. Yorke, Sir C. Flower, Mr. Alderman Atkins, Sir Roller( Preston, and ma ny other Gen! lemen ►►f the highest respectability and character. W:,en they arrived, the grand apartment it) which tine festival was held was completely filled it was decorated with ensig..s, with canopies, and with transparencies, adorned with appropriate devices and loyal in. script ions. Loud acclamations welcomed the Honourable. Baronet and his friends. The cloth removed, " Non Nobis Domine" was song, in a very effective style, by Messrs. Incledon. Leete, Clarke, Col lier, Pyne, and other vocal Gentlemen who were present. the CIIAIRMAN WliittiiOrr) in *king to propose the first toast, thought it right to state, before he entered on the business of the day, that Mr. Manning, who was to have presided, was only prevented from doing so by a severe domestic calamity. Announcing this he hoped lir the todulgcnce of the company, to sustain hint in the pertormance the duties which now devolved on him. He then gave " The King." Tnis toast was drunk with three times three, and with shouts of enthusiastic applause. " God save the King," was then sung, all present joining in the chorus. " The Duke of York and the lest or the Royal Family" was the next toast. Ibis was followed by '• flow nierrny we live that Soldiers be;" " The Navy and Army" was then given. " Rule Britannia" succeided, and after this "The thy of Loudon, and PrJsperity to its Copmerce," was drank with three times three. •••••• " Lord 'Mayor and Mag . .straey of London" was the next toast. Sir kVm. LRIGEITON retorned t!taulks lie felt confident that the whole of the Nlittistracy of the City of Lon don, with the exception of one or two whom be would not name, deserved the 64inour which they had just received; and iii their name he begged to return hi: best thanks for the com pliment paid to them. " The 4908 Liverymen who tool recorded by their votes their approbation of the principles avowed by Sir W. Curtis, Had espoused by his fi iends," was drunk with three times three. Mr. JACKS returned thitnks for the Liverymen who had voted for the Hon. Baronet. Ile could not but feel that a great triumph had been obtained in the present in stance, on two . or three accounts ; almost all of them had lung been connected with the Honourable Baronet by rival e friendship ; they had known him long, and this was the sixth—(" No the sepenti")—the seventh return of the Ho nourable Baronet to Parliament. He besides understood that the return of the Horwuratjle Baronet would not he disagree able to that body. He had always understood that he (Sir W. Curtis) was there very popular; he was there regarded as one of the remaining specimens of that breed of Gentlemen who deserved the appellation of John Bull. The return of the Honourable Baronet was therefore a great triatnph to the shipping and commercial interest of the City of Loudon. It was odd that such a City should have returned to the last Parliament but one Gentleman more acquainted with the concerns of those .interests, than a common shop-account ant. In future, he hoped the Shipping and Mercantile Inte rest of the City would take care to have the power in thei r own hands. A man could not open a shop, not even a chan dler's shop, in the City, without being a freeman, but a man might employ millions as a merchant without being one. He hoped that, for the timeto come, those connected with the mer cantile and shipping interest, would place themselves in a situation in which they would not have to solicit, but ire which they might command, votes to return the candidates who would best defend their rights and privileges. At present there were two parties in the country ; the one wished to pre serve the Constitution such as it had been handed down to us from our ancestors—the other wished to alter it under pre truce of reforming it. Those who defended the existing Con stitution were called Tories, but he denied that the name was properly given; for, seeing that they were the defenders of tile Constitution, in point of fact they were the Whigs—the Whigs of 1688.—(Applause.)—The Constitutionalists,oi Defenders of the Constitution, were opposed by these who called them selves Whigs, and by the Radicals. These it was not always easy to dist inguish•from each other, but both seemed to mis take the ptinciple on which the House of Commons ought to be chosen. They considered that it ought to be merely the Representative of the Population of the Couatry, forgetting that this had never been the prineitle acted upon in former times, the Representation of property beiagthat to which most attention had been paid. But there were some who were al ways talking of moderate Reform. These he would refer to the sample of moderate Reform exhibited in the city of West minster. One of the Members fur Westminster had some years ago been convicted of a great misdemeanour—another had but recently escaped from confinement, and a third world shortly go to it.—(Applause.)—Could it be said that such persons really represented the city of Westminster ? Would it be maintained that the inhab4nts of St. James's-square, and of Grosvenur-square, and the other squares, were repre sented by the present Members ? No ; this could not lie asserted, and, the Members returned were, in point of Ltd, but the representatives of Saint Gllcs's-in-the-Gelds and Tothill-fields. He was of opinion that the present Constitu tion could not be upheld if the opittions of the friends of Annual Parliaments and Universal Suffrage were acted upon. He therefore considered it a great triumph on the pant of the City of London, that at the recent Election, they had suc ceeded in returning three Representatives instead of one. finis was a splentind triumph for the 4908 Liverymen who had voted fur Sir WiMaru Curtio, and in whose dame be now rc. turned thanks for the honour which they had just received front the present company. The health of Sir NI - Pliant Curtis was then drunk with " thrce tunes three," amidst the loudest acclamations. Sir W. CLWIti rose, anti was greeted with shouts of universal approbation, which did not subside for several minutes. He thanked the meeting most cordially, not only for the manner irk wliich they had been pleased to'elrink his health, but for their having, on this occasion, assembled in a manner almost unprecedented, even in that great city. He felt that, in supporting him, they but pressed forward its support of a good and substantial Government, which all felt that the country required. It was thirty years since he came into the service of the public. He h. first been called front private life to exercise the functions of a Magistrate, and then he had been made one of their ilepreSentatives in Parliament. At first he had come forward, as a young man ought to do, with fear and trembling, to take upon himself the duties thus im posed upon him; but now, at the end of thirty years, when he saw an assembly called together to meet him, and of such a character that nu other place in England, lie would venture to say, could produce one like it, he felt so overpowered with exultation, that to respond iu adequate terms to the kindness he had met with was im possible. He must trespass on the patience of the company fur some time, as on this occasion he wished to give them an accountoif his past ckeiduct. He had been first returned to Parliament in 1790, at a time when the country was in a most fleurishing state. About that time the French Revolution occurred, a Revolution which not merely affected France, but which in its consequences affected this country, and alt the nations on the Continent of Europe. At that awfu period, not trusting to himself, he had looked for some polar star to guide him; and doing this, he had followed the course of the most illustrious of all Statesmen. He had f nind a beacon in WILLIAM PITT to direct the Ship of the State safely into Port.—(Applause.)—lt was owing to the determination of the successors of that great man to adhere to his policy, and act on his principles, that this country now stood in its present high and commanding situation. During the thirty years that he had been in Parliament, he would take upon himself to say, that no emu had acted a more independent part. Not withstanding this, in the year 1818, he had been violently opposed, and opposed for adhering to the very sante piin ciples which- had first recommended him to the notice of the Livery. The evil consequences of maintaining principles like those which' were then prevalent, hie briefly touched upon, and exulted in the result of the late election, as it showed that the Electors were anxious fur the cause—look ed to the principles that were maintained, and nut to the man. He was now a fortunate and successful candidate, but when considered, exactly the reverse; his fall was his pride, from its haring given an everlasting monument of the respect in which he suss held by the Merchants and Ship owners of the City. He held ins his hand a box which he had received on that etecasion.—(Here the Hononrable Baronet held up a box).—lt was gold—it was pure gold, but even the gold was dross in his estimation, compete d with the Resoiu tious contained in the parchment which it enclosed, •which flattered him rnore, much more, than any election triumph could have done. While he said this, he hoped it would not be thought that he failed to appreciate the value of the present triumph. If any thing could intake an old man young again, it would be the sight of so many persons.assembled to congratulate him on his return to Par hement. He then alluded to the important benefits which the City of London must derive from having three Represen tatives in Parliament, and having shortly noticed with appre betion the late acts of the Legislature, he set fortes the im portance of opposing the revolutimetry designs of the pre tended friends of Reform. He declared that he would con tinue to Oppose them now, as he had hitherto done, and that having lived in the principles of Mr. Pitt, I,y these he was te seleen to die. He cencleded by drini.ing to the health of the Citizens of London.—(Loud Applause.) A so ng was then sung by Mr. TAYLrot in honour of the tri umph of the Hon.' Bart. The last stanza, which ran as fol lows, called forth the most tumultnons applause : See the CLianipion of your cause, Champion of keit. Freedom's laws, Well deserving your applause, Friends of Equity! Cause in which he's long been tried— Cause in which tree blue is dy'd, Britons' elory, England's pride, Land of Liberty ! The health of Mr. Manning was then drunk with three times tltree. Mr. P. Ontis gave the health of the Chairman (Mr. Whitmore), which was drunk with erect applause. isle. Whit noire returned thanks; and Sir W. Curtis, having pro nounced a warm eulogium on Mr. Hall, gave the health of that Gentleman, who acknowledged the honour in a very animated speech, in the course of which he insisted that the Livery, Merchants, and Traders oft he City of 4<ondon ought to unite in future as they had done on the present occasion, and doing this they might obtain indemnity for the past and security for the future. The healths of Sir .1. Yorke end Sir It. Preston were subsequently drunk with three times du ee, and those Gen tlemen severally returned thanks. Mr. Curtis (Sir 11'111.'5 eldest son) rose to express his gratitude for the honour (hew to the family on this occasion, but was so overcome by his feelings that he could not proceed. The health of Mr. S. Dixon was drank, and he replied to the compliment in an able speech, in the course of which lie described the Court of Comsnou Council to be " an unwceded garden, possessed by thine: rank and gross ie nature." This, however, he 'marked, the Livery might correct, as the power of doing' so returned to them once a year, if they wets but true to their ow n interests. "'Trial by Jury," and a number of patriotic, appropriate, alld convivial toasts were given ; and at the close of a most harmonious evening, Sir W. Cnwris and his friends retired amidst the fervent and frieudly plaudits of the whole com pany.
