This is a work of grave humour, which under the name of the celebrated WHITTINGTON,. who, with his Cat; makes so great a figure in. the traditionary history of the. Country, is intended to adumbrate a character of the present day, who has been LOttn . MAYOIt of London, and has re cently rendered himself not a little conspicuous. The author examines the question, whether TTINGTO was' named Riehitrd,.and at length deter i mines that his baptismal name must have been _Matthew— There is a Woon cut in the title page, professedly representing WitiTTlG iw.l, but obviously designed for the living cha racter to 'whom we have alluded. After discuss ino whether the memorable edit which raised the aforesaid Matthczo into distinction, was the do- MestiC animal, or a coasting vessel of . the same name,' the author quotes an authority to prove, that."

Here, we may not unaptly relate a story of the father of the late Earl of SANDIVIcIi. The Noble Lord, when any application was made to him in Huntingdonshire to subscribe for repairing u church, or any other public object, always desired that his name might be put down for ten guineas. No money, how ever, was ever paid, and the arrears at length amounted to 'one hundred guineas. The Mini ster, Churchwarden, &c. then thought it 'high time to ask his . Lordship 'for the subscription money. The Noble . Lord having - signified that he gave his name merely to set the subscription on foot, asked them if they really expeCted pay- Most, and receiving an affirmative answer, he ex claimed with facetious surprize, " 'What, would you kill your Decoy Duck Q"—The nature of this satirical and humorous work hardly admits of an extract; but we subjoin a ballad which will give the Reader a key to the whole. • ANN EXCEEDINGE, EXACTE, AND 'EXCELLENTE GOODE 'BALLADE, witiTTEN BY AIEE GEGFFR Y LYDOAT E, UPONNE MAST 'ERRE Wit YTTINGTONE HYS C.kTTE.

LIVERPOOI moved an A.d . dress,of Condolence to his Majesty on the melancholy occasion of the Death of her Royal Higliness,the late' Duchess. of York, which was forthwith voted nem. rap., and the Address Was. ordpred to be presepted by the Lords with - white. staves. .The Noble Minister. , then moved .an Address of a similar nature' to his 11,oyal Highness the Duke-of YOrk, Which being- voted, Was.orclered to be presented to the. illoStrious Widower by the Duke of AVelikkgton and the Earl Qrahain (Duke of Montrose.) • BILLS OF PAINS AND PES,TALTIES. The Duke of UINSTER said he felt it his duty to take the earliest opportunity of declaring his intention to oppose," by every means in his power, such a Bill, as, that 11.0 W, before their Lordships, for affecting her Majesty, and particularly at such a' time as it was brought forward. He strongly disapproved of the principle of - the measure, as lie did that of all other Bills of Pains and Penal ties. He repeated that he felt so strongly with respect to the Bill in question, as to deem it in cumbent oil him to take the earliest opportunity to oppose its 'progress ; and which resistance he meant, regarding it a*3 an act of violence and op pression, to offer to it in every stage. The House then adjourned until five o'clock. PRESERVATION OF THE PUBLIC PEACE. At five o'clock the Loan CHANCELLOR again .00k the Woolsack. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY; as Chairman of the Committee appointed to search the Journals for precedents as to the mode of -enforcing the at tendance of Peers on the 17th inst., pre4ented the following Repdrt " The Lords' Committee, appointed to examine the Journals fdr precedents as to the mode of enforcing the attendance of Peers on Thursday. the 17th of Ang.,N#44ed to Report " The •Committee, taking into consideration the best mode of preventing interruptions in tlm‘ public streets, have resolved— , \ • " 1. That the High-Steward of the city of Westtninster,' or his Deputy, together with the Justices of the Peace of the said city, shall, by their strict'care and directions to the constables and other officers within their jurisdiction, take 'special order that up empty hackney-coaches be suffered to make any stay between Whitehall and the end of Abingdon-street in Westminster, from 9 of the clock at noon, until 6 of the clock in the afternoon of the same day, during the sittirtg of this Parliament, and that no carriages, drays, or carts, be permitted to stop in the streets and . passages between the, end of Market-lane, in Pall-mall, and the end of Abingdon-street, tween the hours aforesaid or to pass through the old Palace-yard, from one of the clock in the afternoon until one hour after the rising of this House, during the sitting of this Parliament ; and that all carriages, drays, or - carts, hereby per mitted to pass through the said streets and pas sages, be obliged to go one - after another in the manner following—(that is to say) all . carriages, drays, or carts, going towards Westminster, to keep on the side of the street or, passage next to St. James's-park, and all those going' the contrary way to keep on the other side of the street, and upon no account whatsoever to presume to go two or more -abreast during the sitting of this Parlia 7 meat ; and herein special care is to be taken by the said deputy steward, justices .of the, peace, constables, and all other officers herein concern- . ed, as the contrary will be a nswered to this House. And it is further resolved, that the high-bailiff of the city of Westminster, and the justices of the peace for the city and liberty thereof, or some of them, residing in Westmins ter, be served with the order of this House made this day for the purposes aforesaid. " '2. That the Deputy-steward, Justices of Peace, Constables, and - all other Officers afore said, do take special care to prevent any .obstruc tion whatsoever that may impede the passage of the Lords to and from this House, as the contrary will -be .answered to this House. , " 3: That the Lords with ivhite staves :do }nimbly move his Majesty that he will be pleased to give orders that such guards do attend this House on Thursday the iith inst., and till his Msjesty's further order, as hath been usual in cases of impeachtneM.” On the motion of the Earl Of SHAFTESBURY, the Resolutions were agreed to. Me House then adjourned till to-morrow.. There were about forty Peers present. — Amongst them were observed the Duke of Wel lington, the Duke of Montro§e, the Earl of Li verpool, the Eat 1 of Harrowby, the Earl of West morland, Viscount Torrington., the, Et r l o f poin_ fret, Viscount Sidmouth, Lord Rolland, the Mar quis of lleadfort, the .Earl of Rosslyn, the Earl of Donoughmore, the. Marquis of Douglas, the Marquis of Sligo, the Duke of Athol, .&c. Her Majtvty's Counsel, Ir. Brougham, Mr. Denman, Mr. Williams, and Dr. LuJiington, were below the bar. The Attorney-General The necessary .alterations relative .'to the im portant coming, proceedings in the 'case of her Majoty, -appear to .be complete, and certainly considering the shortneirs of the tine, they are got up in a very peat and effectual manner,. The_ prominent and. striking. parts are the Galleries, erected on_ each side of the House, running about three fourths of the length of the House above the Bar, and resting.upon neat, slender, cast iron columns, thickly gilt, with plain circular mould , ings at the .tops as capitals. Each Gallery has two. , benches -running longitudinally, to which. access afforded by a small spiral staircase at each -These. seem calculated to accommo date-about NO Peers. The 'Earl of ' Liverpool and some Other Lordsaseended the Palleries for the purpose of ; and the accommodation seemed highly satisfactory. The, space bel6w th Bar ispartitioned oir with iron railing, neatly co vered with scarlet cloth, gilt mouldings, &c. in a way nearly similar to that which obtained in - the-- cases of Judge Fox, and the Berkeley Peerage. The fortner side partitions still' iernain, and un less these be wholly, or, in a great measure, al lotted for the accommodation'of general auditors; the space for these will'. be very small indeed. No particular place has yet been fixed on for the accommodation of her Majesty, who will "en-` the House by, the Grand Staircase ordinarily Used by the Peers. Some regulation in - Payout' of the Gentlemen connected with the Public Press, is spoken of, but that, we.belieVe, is not ' yet particularly, decided upon. Sentinels were on duty yesterday at the entrance into Cotten garden. and at that of Parliament-place. No crowd was, collected yesterday about the, House, and' the utmost mder and decorum every where prevailed. FOR TILE SUN.' Ma. EDITOII I —AS I „presume it is not incon sistent either with the' objects or the general character, a.itcl certainly not with the title, of your . iotelliient and respectable Journal, to make known whatever is calculated to enlighten the understanding, perhaps you not have - any -- • objection to insert, at some convenient oppor tunity, the following account of a . Literary .So ciety, of which, for a considerable,time past,. I haVe had the pleasure to be a member. The . formation of the Philomathic Institution, Burtoa street, .; Burton-crescent, took place in •Seiltenal)er 18(0:- its progress , has been gradual and satisfac= tory. It is provided with a convenient and re , spectable place of meeting, erected by the So- . clety, - and every wty adapted to its different en g-agernents. The objects which it professes to have in Vie NV, re. mental improvement and pro:.. titable relaxation ; and the means, by which it s proposes to accomplish these desirable cods, are the most liberal and impartial discussion. of lite rary, philosophical, and miscellaneous questions ; the delivery of lectures on subjects of literature . and science ; the reading of original compositions and communications ; and the establishment of a library.. It has been found to produce the most beneficial effects on the minds of its •members. It has been seen to Call forth dormant talent, and to improve acknowledged ability ; to promote the most valuable friendship, and to ,store the mind with a variety, of useful knowledge, by leading it to think OTT subjects which, perhaps, would otherwise have :never occupied its atten . - tion. To all who nay be desirous of cultivating the useful art of Public Speaking,.,or who may be partial to literary pursuits in general, the above Institution, - conceive, presents. many important and peculiar advantages. flaying My self derived very: great improvement from afteihd; ing its various. engagements, ,I am, inducekto adopt this mode of attracting your notice ;mit that of the Public to a Society, so desirable in its objects, and so beneficial in its tendency.—l am, Sir; your's respectfully, A LOVER OF LEARNING. I .* We fee) it to be our duty to insert whatever may 'end to the mtvantage of society, without any conside4ation of pecuniary requital, as in toe present instance, it being our anxious wish to render Tit eSt, v theleneral vehicle Of all useful knowledge.—We assure the Public, thaton numberless occa sions we hare acted upon the same principle, though we know that we are subject to Stamp" Office Notices, and. can solemnly aver that on such occasions we have had tto recom pense but the satisfaction of diScharging our duty to the Cuuntry.
