DRUItY-LANE.--A new Performer appeared at this Theatre on Saturday last, as Polly, in The Beg gar's Opera. Her acting proved that she is not new to the Stage. She supported the part with spirit and judgment, but too often addressed the audience.—She is young, but perhaps not young enough for a representative of Polly, and her figure also may be deemed, on the same account, rather too much en bon point. She seems to be well acquainted with music, but her voice is not of the best quality, and her execution of the airs does not appear to correspond with her science. There can be little doubt that, as a general actress in comedy, she may prove a very useful acquisition to the London Stage. The rest of the characters have been too often supported by the same Performers to need any particular comment. The upper Gallery displayed some opposition when the Opera was announced for repetition. We were glad to remark such an indication of taste in that quarter, as the piece, with all its wit and humour, is too coarse and vulgar for the present times. PEcKnam, Nov. 6.—On Saturday our Theatre dosed for the season with Romeo and Juliet, which was per formed for the benefit of Mr. and Mrs. PENLEY, under the patronage of Lady KNIGHT. The House was filled before the rising of the curtain with an elegant and highly respect able audience.--The play was well performed in all its parts. Mr. COPELEND played Alercutio with gr eat vivacity and spirit; and Mr. SALTER, as Romeo, displayed much judgment, and was well received. Mr. PENLEY gave its due degree of effect to the character of Balthazar, and Miss R. PENLF.Y was a very pretty and interesting Juliet. The other characters were also very respectably filled.—ThaniN's excellent farce of Past Ten u Cloch and a Rainy Night, followed, and ex cited lunch laughter and applause. We never saw a farce better got up at a country Theatre, and played with more spirit.--Amongst the company present we noticed—Lad); Knight and party; Dr. and the Hun. Mrs. Wenneck ; Mrs. M. Blackwood, and Miss Blackwood ; Mrs. S. Sharp; Mrs. and Miss Armroyd and party; Mrs. Scriven and Miss Lane, and party; Mr. Barrow; Mr. Atcheson; the Rev. Mr. Lam bert, the Rev. Mr. Hyde; Mr. and Mrs. Munroe; Mrs. Tay lor and family, &c. &c. &c. THE MARKETS. CORN-EXCIILNGE, Nov. supply of Wheat was rather large this morning from Essex, besides a considerable quantity which remained over from last week's arrivals, the sale of which was exceedingly heavy, and 2s. per quarter cheaper fmiall descriptions except prime samples, which obtained last week's prices ; Fine Barley being scarce, sold ls. per quarter higher than this day week, but the inferior qualities were dull sale, and rather cheaper ; Beans are Is. per quar ter dearer; the Oat Trade was very dull, at a decline of ls. per quarter.—la Peas and other articles there is no alteration. SMITIIIIELD MARKET, Nov. 6.—Thi3 Market was exceedingly full of all descriptions of Cattle this morning, and good meat maintained last week's price, but that of in ferior quality was rather lower in price..—The I - Lay Market remains the same as last week its prim ; Straw and Clover no alteration. MR. KEmnr.E.—We are sorry to learn that this Gentleman has positively resolved never to appear on the stage again. Re comes here merely on private business. Mrs. KEMBLE is left at Lau sanne ; he coon returns to her, and they are to proceed to Rome. We are authorised to state that it is her MA JESTY'S intention to go to the House of Lords to-morrow morning.—Her MAJESTY has fixed Monday, the 13th instant, for receiving such Ad dresses as may be then, ready for presentation. — (The Times.) Yesterday being the anniversary of the Popish conspiracy, commonly called the Gunpowder Plot, the Park and Tower guns were . fired on the occasion. 'The Yeomen of the Guard, and his MAJESTY'S attendants at Carlton Palace, re ceived their customary gratuity of wine, it being Pitcher day. A meeting took place on Saturday morning, at Kensington Gravel Pits, between Lieutenant- Colonel W-Ls-N, of the Royal Scots, and a Mr. J —s, in consequence of some offensive observa tions of the latter respecting his M-J-Ty. We re gret to say that the gallant Colonel was wounded near the left knee by Mr. J—s' first shot, and the ball has not yet been extracted. In the second exchange of shots, Colonel W—'s ball penetrated the right side of Mr. J—, when the Seconds in terfered, and the partses separated. The entrance to the city of Gloucester is about to be much improved by a road which *is to take a direct course from the turnpike at Kingsholm into Northgate-street, and the Cheltenham road is to be carried to the eastward of the church, which will give travellers a fine view of the ca thedral. PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS-SATURDAY. THE QUEEN. [Continuation of Saturday's Proceedings.] The following is the conclusion of Lord Livxrt- PO OL'S Speech : It was said that on board the polacre, when Ber gami slept under the tent, the hatchway was always open. This had not been proved to be the fact; but, if it were true, it did not appear to him of much importance. On several occasions How nam had stated himself to have gone into the dining-room at ten or eleven o'clock at night, not knowing that the tent was closed. It ap peared that the tent might be closed without the knowledge of those who were in the dining room. On one occasion Majocci had been in the dining-room after the tent was closed, but, generally speaking, none of the people on board the polacre were to be found there at that time. He would put it to their Lord ships, if they could believe, that in a hot cli mate, with a calm sea and fine weather, a per sonage in the situation of her Royal Highness could have allowed a man to sleep with her beneath the same tent, but for that purpose which he had supposed. It had been argued, that the tent was not a place in which it was likely an adulterous intercourse should be carried on. But to him it, appeared, that fastened down, as that tent Iva, proved to have been, by ring bolts, and secured as it was, that there never was a place where the crime of adultery could be committed with more facility. He would put the question to their Lorships, whether any man of moral feelings, who knew what female deli cacy was, would believe that any woman would pass 30 nights under a tent with a man (that man not being her husband) for any but for one pur pose ? Could any woman pass, not a few hours under peculiar circumstances, but 30 nights, thus en closed with a man, without leading to one of two conclusions, that either the act of adultery had then been committed, or that it had been committed so often before, that the desire to re peat the offence had been abated. At Aum her Royal Highness and Bergami still reposed under the same tent. There were no hatchways there, and what pretence of want of protection could there be urged in defence of her Royal High ness ? Was it possible to believe that those ar rangements (which had been proved) could have been made but for a criminal purpose ? Could it be believed that the Princess would so expose herself but to a man whom she had ad mitted to the last degree of intimacy ? Were there not circumstances - that must strike every one, that would have made this highly improper ; and that no woman—he would not say of deli cacy arid virtue—but that no woman, unless gross in the extreme, could suffer to occur in the pre sence of any man, which must have been witnessed at such times? But at Aum it was said that her Royal Highness had travelled all night, and that she was tired, fatigued, and exhausted, when she went to lay down in the tent. This might be so, but this cut both ways, for he would ask if any 1/34d+at WOlllarl would not hare been still more reluctant ta• admit a man to her resting place when she was in such a state of exhaustion ? He would take his stand on this part of the case, which remained without contradiction, and say, that the circumstances proved to have occurred on board the polacre, and at Aum, supplied not only a moral conviction, but dis tinct judicial proof -that adultery had been there committed; and he would deny that any other inference could be rationally drawn from the facts which had been proved at their Lordships' bar. If it were true that the Princess and Bergami went ou board the polacre free from all suspicion, what had been proved to have subsequently occur red, completely established the criminal inter course charged in the Bill. But was it the fact, that her Royal Highness was brought on board the polacre free from suspicion ? Ile had yester terday detained their Lordships, to show that the circumstances previously known,proved,not only a suspicious attachment, but an infatuated passion. He would ask,i f any man could lay his hand upon his heart and say,that before the case of the polacre was heard of, he was not satisfied from the evidence, that the Princess of Wales had been vehemently in love with Bergami ? This was proved by a variety of facts ; and if they referred to the de cision on their books—to those of the Ecclesias tical Courts, and to the proceedings of Parlia ment, he thought they must feel that cruel injus tice had been committed by those decisions, if the proofs he had adverted to were not to be received as conclusive evidence against the Queen. The two cases of the polacca and Aum, taken together, in his opinion, left no doubt that the adultery had been committed.— He then commented on the entertainments given in honour of Bergami at various places. When this was considered, and the fete given in honour of the day of St. Bartholomew, on board the polacca, was remembered—when it was seen that the ship was illuminated, money given to the crew, and that her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales was seen walking arm-in-arm on the deck with Bergami, to cries of—" Long live the Princess,"—" Long live the garon Ber gami,"—who that saw this would believe it pos sible that the Princess of Wales, the wife of the Regent of England, would thus be seen walking in this sort of pomp with a person to whom she appeared in the relation of a wife Who that saw this, and knew that that individual not 12 months before had been a courier, and had waited be hind the chair of her Royal Highness, would be lieve it possible that she would have acted such a part, if she had not been under the influence of a criminal attachment ? In no other way could her stooping to such degradations be accounted for; and if that which had been proved was not degradation, he was ignorant what ought to be so called. To the Carisruhe case, he would next call their Lordships' attention for a few moments. What 110 been stated to have occurred there, on fairly balancing the evidence, he believed to be true. They had all heard the evidence given by Barbara Kress, and they had had the advan. tage of observing the manner in which that evi dence was given. He would say, it struck him, that more natural and ingenuous testimony had never been obtained. She, it would be remem bered, had told her story immediately after that which was the subject of it had happened. It was, therefore, not like a tale made up long after the circumstances had taken place. She had been cross-examined as to the houses in which she had lived, and she had given the history of her whole life. There was a person at the Bar who had very properly made inquiries (on the part of the defence) as to her character, but not one word had come out against her; he therefore considered her to be a fair and an ingenuous wit ness, who had told a natural story, and had sworn but to that which she knew to be true. It had been attempted to refute the Carlsruhe case, by accounting for the whole of the time that her Royal Highness spent at that place. The evi dence of Vassali, however, did not contradict what had been sworn to by Kresse, and he could not account for the distinct recollection which Vassali had of all that passed at Carisruhe, when. he looked at the utter want of memory which he betrayed on being questioned as to what had occurred at Munich. He would undertake to say, that it was morally impossible that her Royal Highness, having dined at Court, and pass ed the greater part of the day there, .should go home without retiring to her room; and if she did retire to her room, then he had the most complete confirmation of the statement of Kresse that could be supplied in a case of that kind. This would have great weight with their Lordships, when they recollected that the character of Kresse stood wholly unimpeached ; and in his opinion, in such a case any Judge would charge the Jury, that the fact was proved. His Lordship adverted in eloquent, and at the same time, pointed terms, to the absence of those witnesses who might have been called to contra. diet the allegations of others in support of the Bill. He commented on the contradictions of ' those who had been called, and exposed the fallacy of those false views with which it had been attempted to colour incontrovertible and un disputed facts. The necessity of Bergami sleep. lug under the tent on board the polacre, his Lord ship treated as utterly impossible.—The evidence for the Queen, even, had shewn that a landsman was totally unfit for that station in those emer gencies on which a man's presence was supposed to be necessary ; and, as had been appositely remarked by the Noble Lord on the cross-bench (Lord Lauderdale) the size of Bergami (would rather incommode her Majesty than be of ser vice to her, provided her sole object was assistance from the perils of the sea. It should be also recol lected that this ship was totally under the controul of her Royal Highness, and, in fact, every per. son on board might be looked on as her servant. No analogy, therefore, existed between it and a passage-boat from Helvoetsluys to Harwich, or an East Indiaman on a homeward voyage ; for, in fact, on board such a ship, with the tent lashed down, a more secure place could not have been conceived for the commission of that crime which was alleged to have been committed between her Royal Highness and Bergami, by the preamble of this Bill. His Lordship would ask whether it was possible for any man, exercising his common rational faculties, to believe that her Royal High ness had slept umder this tent on board the po lacre for thirty nights, or any less period which the Noble Lords on the other side thought fit to fix. it at, with any other object or view than satis fy ing that passion which the inordinate lose she had conceived for this man, from the very first period of their acquaintance, dictated ? After some further observations upon the tent-cohabi- tation, his Lordship adverted to the consideration of the Bill as one of Pains and Penalties, and con- tended, that they were not more severe in their character than ordinary Divorce Bills. In con clusion, his Lordship trusted that every Noble Lord would give his vote on the present occasion regardless of popular clamour out of doors, and regardless of those treasonable incendiaries, who would seize this or any other occasion, to suit their own bad and evil designs. Enough of such persons were already to avail themselves of oppor tunities to do mischief. A spirit of that kind was now abroad ; and his Lordship wished to God he could say, the Queen had kept herself perfectly clear from such a party, or their opinions. Un fortunately, her answers to those Addresses which were made to her, were of a character which must shock themind of every man, who wished for the safety and domestic tranquillity of his coun try. For himself, the Noble Lord could say on his conscience, before God, that his conduct was guided on the present occasion by his belief of what was right ; he believed, whichever way Peers voted, that the country would properly appreciate their determination ; and, warning their Lordships against the consequences which must result from pronouncing the Queen inno cent, while they afforded her " the / triumph of guilt," he concluded by praying, that God might direct their hearts to do justice on this occasion between the Queen, the Public, and the King. Lord ARDENT wished that the Bill could be withdrawn, and that some mode of taking the sense of the House, as to the guilt or innocence of the Queen, could be taken without involving her in the penalties of the Bill. On these grounds he ga‘e his vote against the second read ing of the Bill. Lord FALMOUTH felt much reluctance in ad dressing their Lordships, after the display of elo quence and talent which he had witnessed ; but, however inferior he felt himself in ability, l it) would not yield to any one in an anxious wish to discharge his duty. The question of guilty or not guilty, was said to be the only one to decide,; but with him there were other objections, and be confessed he had great objections to the penal part of •the 13i11. He might be told that /the Committee was the most proper time to move the rejection of any clause ; but he would now state what he had great objections against, the divorce clause ; and if it was intended to pass the Bill in its present state ; he would vote against it.
