He ~' ■ ADJOURNED PUBLIC MEETING OF THE WORKING CLASSES AT MANCHESTER. (From the Trades Free Press.) An adjourned Meeting of the working classes and others, of Manchester,' was held in the Manor Court Room, on Wednesday evening last, for the purpose of taking into con sideration the propriety of addressing his M tjesty, relative to the recent proceedings in the House of Lords on the Corn Question, and the distresses of the labouring classes gene rally. About seven o'clock, the crowd began to collect about the entrance to the Manor Court House, and at half- Past seven the doors were opened, when the large room began to till in every part. About ten minutes before eight 111 th e chairman, Mr. E. DIXON, took the chair. Mr. R. DETROSIER then ascended the platform, and was received with loud and repeated cheers. He com menced by lashing the Ministers in a very keen and sarcastic manner, for their conduct generally, and in parti cular as it related to the extravagant expenditure of the Public money. It was a fact, be said, that in 1796 the fustian weaver had three shillings per yard for weaving, and in 1823 for cotton, carding, weaving, 84c. &c. only 2s. id. per yard could be obtained. And how little of this small sum did the poor weaver receive for his share ? In 1'796, a weaver and his family were comfortably fed and clothed out of his earnings ; in 1827 his family were pau pers, naked, destitute, and his cot almost empty and cheerless. The poor, he observed, might labour, but till the rulers of this country saw the absolute necessity of using the strictest economy ii: .the management of the public money, they had no chance, but that of sinking by degrees into the silent grave, the solitary, but secure retreat from tyranny and ep pression.—(Applause.)—The corrupt state of the repre sentation, lie proceeded, was one principal cause of the decay which had taken place in our manufactures.—(Ap plause.)—Much has been said by certain persons, in a cer tain quarter, about living and dying, or standing and fall; mg with the order to which they belong ; but I would ask those proud and over-bearing Aristocrats where they and their order would be, if the poor of the country were swept off the face of the earth ? The answer was at hand. Down would come the temple of Dagon, and bury in its ruins the le doubted Earl and his boasted order.—(Applause.)—The industry of the poor may be scorned by this " order," hut it is beyond all praise. Mr. D. then reverted to the tithing system, and depicted in glowing language, the ori ginal purposes of tithes, and reprobated the manner in Which they were now appropriated. The church patro nage and emolument, said he, are enormous, and ought to be reduced. He concluded by moving the following Re solution, which was seconded, and passed unanimously, amidst repeated rounds of applause:— That it is the opinion of this meeting, that suffering, as this nation is, from poverty and distress, it is a shameful mockery of humanity and religion to continue to the over paid dignitaries of the Church, their enormous incomes.— That equity demands the abolition of the unjust and oppres sive burthen of tithes ;—and, as a considerable portion of Church property is transferable, and belongs to the nation, the unprecedented state of the country demands an enquiry into the same, and an appropriation thereof to public and national purposes. Mr. J. HOOCH; next presented himself the Meeting. Ile was desirous, he said, to cut down the immense in comes of the Aristocrats, which he believed were at this ,time greater th a n at any form e r p e riod. He attributed th e °ad ef f ects which hare been felt by the middle and working classes to the dabbling with the currency, and in conic 'Pence of the great issues of paper.—(Applause.)—He concluded a long and humorous speech, by moving the fol -I°Wing resolution, which was seconded by Mr. WYENE, and passed unanimously:— That this Meeting is of opinion, that the present money of this country has been so far debased by the great issues of paper money, as to produce evils of greater magnitude, and effects more disastrous in their consequences, than those produced by any metallic debasement of the coin that has existed in this or any other country, bringing prices for food utterly at variance with the wages of the labourer, send rendering insecure to the possessor almost all the ho neatly acquired property in the country. M . r. JOHN DOHERTY next addressed the Meeting, and included by moving the following resolution, amidst deafening shouts from the assembled Meeting : That this Meeting is of opinion, that the only effectual re riledy for all our political evils is a thorough, complete, and radical reform in the Commons House of Parliament, esta blished upon a basis that wilt secure, to every one who has to contribute towards the national expenses, a voice in the fleeting of those who are to have the power of making laws Which affect his life, liberty, and property; and such a reform, this Meeting conceives, cannot be effected but 4 y Annual Parliaments, Universal Suffrage, and Election , Mr. Tnoxas FOSTER, after a few observations, in W hich he paid a very high compliment to Mr. W. Cob bett for haying, by the means of his powerful pen, opened the eyes, and informed the understandings, of many who Otherwise would have been in complete ignorance respect ing the state of the country ; concluded by moving an Ad dress to the King, founded on the foregoing Resolution, Which was seconded by Mr. DETROSIZR. The Address having been read and passed unanimously, it was moved by Mr. WHEELER that the Chairman sign it on behalf of the Meeting, and forward it without delay. WlN.Dsort, AUG. 30.—Yesterday the LORD CHANCELLOR and Mr. Host:mos arrived at the Royal Lod ge , and had each a long audience of his MAJESTY, and after Partaking of some refreshment, they left for town. Since the commencement of the present wed , the King has, Seith his attendants, dined daily at the Fi Ling Temple.— Iler Majesty the Queen of WURTESSEERG, after an absence of so many years from her native country, having a desire to witness once more the favourite sport and amusement at tached to racing, yesterday afternoon, accompanied by her 'loyal Highness Princess AUGUSTA, left Frogmore Lodge at half-past one o'clock, in her phaeton drawn by four of MAJisTv's ponies, and drove by two postilions in the Royal Livery; two other open carriages, with four horses each, with postilions and out-rider in the Royal Livery, followed, with Sir Thos.

SLADE THE MURDERER.—Many persons are of opinion that this wretched young man will not be executed, and even bets have been laid on the event. After the verdict of a Jury, condemnation by the Judge, and an ample confession, it is difficult to find ground for such an opinion. There is, we believe, no doubt that he will un dergo his sentence to-morrow (Saturday). He is penitent, and quite resigned to his fate. —Lincoln Mercury. TO MAKE APPLE WINE.—The following is a good receipt :—Take equal quantities of orange and nutmeg pippins, grind them in an apple mill, and press out the juice through an air cloth, adding to each gallon of juice two and a half pounds of lump sugar ; put it into a cask, ferment it in the usual way ; when it has worked a short time, bung it down, and should the fer mentation continue, lift the bung, and put in a piece of isinglass. One bushel of apples will produce five gallons of juice, better than much of what is called and sold as champaigne. When an Englishman is invited to dine with any of the inhabitants of Stockholm, it is the practice to treat him with a quantity of what is called roast beef, aa general opinion prevailing that no native of Great Britain can dine without it. The host takes+ merit to himself in having provided this kind of diet, and smiling at his guests, calls out, in an emphatical tone, " Rosbif" (for so it is generally written and pronounced), as the mangled heap of flesh which bears this name is handed round ; not having the smallest re semblance to any thing so called in England, but consisting of lumps of meat piled upon a dish, tough, stringy, and covered with grease. An affray broke out at Dover, on Tuesday, after the conclusion of the boat races, between some of the boatmen and a party of the 85th Regiment. Bayonets were drawn on one side, while the overwhelming weight of numbers was on the other, which was armed with bludgeons, broken oars, &c. A small patrol party, sent to bring the soldiers to their quarters, was at once broken, and one of the men seriously hurt ; he has since been sent to the hospital; one of the boatmen is said to be seriously, if not danger ously, wounded. The firmness, judgment, and forbearance of Colonel Monro, the commanding officer, has restored tranquillity. MASTER NOAKES, THE CALCULATING 80 - Y.—One of those natural prodigies, a child possessing astonishing powers of calculation, is at present on a visit to this town ; and we have had the pleasure to witness some of his extraor dinary performances. He is only seven years of age, and can neither read nor write ; he is the son of poor parents, and his calculating powers having been discovered, he has been for several months before the public, but no education is given to him, as it was found, in the case of young Bidder, that his peculiar faculty was de stroyed by the general cultivation of his mind. Master Noakes is a sprightly, intelligent boy, and seems to perform all his calculations with such careless ease and instinctive certainty, as to amuse at the same time that he astonishes. Whilst ordinary persons can recollect but a few figures at once, and can perform only very simple arith metical operations without the use of visible signs the mind of this child grasps the largest numbers, hundreds of thousands and millions, multiplies, adds, divides, and subtracts them, with the ra pidity of intuition, and without ever losing sight of the sums even in long and complicated opera tions. He performs all his calculations by a method of his own, perceiving in an instant the relation which different sumsbear to each other, so as greatly to simplify and shorten the operations. A gen tleman in our presence set him a rule-of-three sum, offering at the same time to work it him self on paper, that he might try which performed it most quickly : the lad cheerfully accepted the challenge, and in a few seconds exclaimed—" I shall beat you--I shall beat you--I've half done he accordingly finished it in a quarter already :" of the time that was taken by his challenger. We saw several surprising specimens of hi s powers; and in other places, as at the Universities of Ox ford and Cambridge, lie has answered questions like the following :_What is the value of 19,172 2 pairs of gl oves at 2s. 44. per pair ? Answer, 2,2761. 13s. Gd. How many portions of time, each co ns is t i n g of 29 minutes, are there in 12 years (365 days, 6 h ours to the year) ?

ASSIZES.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LANCASTER, Auo. 29. About half-past four o'clock this afternoon, Sir Jos BArr.Er, Knight, arrived here from Appleby. His Lord ship was met a few miles out of town by the High Sheriff, Charles Gibson, Esq., and a numerous retinue, and escort ed into the town, preceded by a party of javelin-men mounted, and followed by a number of carriages and horse men. Upon his Lordship entering the town lie proceeded to the Court, where his Majesty's Commission was opened in the usual manner, after which lie proceeded - to his lodg ings on the Castle-hill. Mr. Baron HULLOCK is expected this evening. The Calendar is extremely heavy, there being no less than eighty-five prisoners for trial, and most of them for crimes of a very heinous description. The following is a sum mary : Jane Scott, aged 21, for the wilful murder of her father and mother, by poisoning them, at Preston; Henry Howarth, for the wilful murder of James Worsall, by nearly severing his head from his body, at Rochdale ; Harrison, for the murder of John Mills, at Manchester; and William Robinson, for the murder of his wife, at Garstang. Besides these, there are no less than nineteen charged with manslaughter, and one for wilfully stabbing with an intent to kill ; 29 for burglaries, three for uttering forged Bank of England notes, one for uttering forged bankers' cheques, and one for forging a seaman's certificate, to obtain a pension at Greenwich Hospital ; 14 for high-. way robbery, four for stealing in a dwelling-house, and se veral others for various offences.—The cause-list is ex pected to be very heavy. Mr. Justice BAYLEY will sit on the Crown side, and Mr. Baron Hur.r.ocic at Nisi Prins. Their Lordships will attend Divine service at St. Mary's church to-morrow. ENIGMA. BY RILE RIGHT HON. CRORGE CANNING. There is a word of plural number Foe to peace and tranquil slumber.

Though bitter cares soft slumbers seldom meet, Still, by some lured caress, they're rendered sweet. X. Y. DISAPPOINTED AFFECTION.—Last night an Inquest was held before Thomas Stirling, Esq. at the Union, Battlebridge, on view of the body of Ann Marsh, a fine young woman, about 23 years of age, who was found drowned on Wednesday morning. In the course of exami nation the following particulars were elicited :—That the deceased was found in a ditch, close to the turnpike, Pan crass Old Church ; when taken out, she exclaimed, " Oh, my Gad, I had rather have been drowned." She was, however, permitted to depart, and so determined was she on self-destruction that she went thence to the bason, at Battlebridge, where she threw herself in, leaving her bon net and shawl on the side. Persons passing heard the plunge, and drags were immediately used, but without effect. She was not discovered until the next morning, when she was removed to the Union. Verdict—" Drowned herself whilst in a state of temporary derangement." About one o'clock on Monday afternoon a terrible accident occurred to Miss Elizabeth Standwell, a young woman about 20 years of age, sister to the landlord of the Hotel in Stamford. She had been for some time afflicted with epilepsy, and a weakened state of the nervous system ; and for several nights lately she had been troubled with the repetition of a dream that she was falling from the top of the house. The Hotel is a superb edifice, of great height, built by Sir Gerard Noel, at an expence of 10,0001. On Monday Miss Standwell was confined to her bed-room from an epileptic attack, when she suddenly rushed from her apartment in her night• clothes, passed out of a trap-door to the roof of the house, and was already on the fearful parapet, a height of 45 feet from the ground, when returning sensibility led her to a knowledge of her situation, and her agonised cries alarmed some persons who were in the yard of the Hotel. The utmost haste to rescue her was used by a gentleman who happened to be in the billiard-room, and saw the unfortunate young woman, and by the servants of the family ; but before any of them could reach the spot to give her assistance, the power of holding on failed her, and she fell from the fearful height into the inn-yard. Ey the concussion she fractured the bone of her right leg, as well as that of her left arm ; she also dread fully injured the spinal vertebrze, and lies in a situation which, we lament to say, affords little hope of her ultimate recovery.—Lincoln Mercury. TRADE.—There is much business doing at present in Leith. On Saturday last no less than 11,0001. was received at the Custom-house, chiefly as duty on foreign wheat. --Scotsman. WORCESTER, AUG. 29.—Though the cold nights have checked some grounds, our Plantation generally is coming on fast, and the picking will commence in a week or ten days. The duty has advanced to 10 or 12,0001. and the opinion still continues that we shall have at least a third of last year's produce. The duty of the Kingdom does not advance; there was a pocket or two of New Hops in the Borough yesterday, for which Si. was asked; 61. was offered and refused.— Worcester Journal. LINCOLNSHIRE AGRICULTURAL SHOW.— The public were admitted to the show-ground at a few Minutes before one on Wednesday. A large concourse of graziers and others had been waiting for nearly two hours. Not many articles were exhibited. The best bull shown belonged to Mr. Slater, of Carlton, who has usually the best stock; it was a handsome animal of small frame, hut with proportions that seemed to enamour the eye of every critic. There were no specimens of inordinate size, as if a blubber-merchant had had the breeding of stock for the take of the oil ; and utility appears to be the object in view. The cattle looked wistfully as the fingers and knuckles of the crowd kneaded their ample sides, and seemed to be suspicious of the end of all this' dis play. Much interest appeared to be drawn to the fat rams of Mr. Dawson, of Birthorpe; and of Messrs. Everitt, of Boothby, Dawson, jun., of Withcall, &e. ; and shrewd calculations were bandied about as to wool, carcase, shape, make, &c. The herses next were viewed, and caused a crowd to assemble whilst the ambitious grooms put them on their mettle. A brown six-year -old cart horse exhibited a fine specimen of the improved Lin colnshire breed. Two blood horses were much commended, and looked and pranced about as if they not only heard but understood every word of praise bestowed upon them.._.. The implements were of great mechanical ingenuity, parti cularly some new machines for weighing live animals, also a drill of Mr. Chambers of Limber, and cutting-machines by Mrs. Barret and Son, so perfect in their operation that nobody need despair of being shaved by machinery. There were specimens of trays which are contrived to stand inde pendent of being driven into the soil. Segments of cart and coach wheels formed of planks curved by some cunning art so as to form semi-circulars without any piecing. The company at the show dined at the Rein Deer Inn, C. Chaplin, Esq., M.P. for the county, in the chair.—Lin coin Mercury. IRELAND.--CROPS...—AGRICULTURE.-- About a fortnight since, an intelligent agriculturist who, resides in this vicinity, returned from a tour through a considerable part of Ireland. His chief, or indeed, his sole business in the 'sister kingdom, was to see the country, examine the crops, and ascertain from actual observation the principles and practice of Irish agriculture. He landed at Belfast, proceeded to Dublin, Monaghan, Omah, Lon donderry, Coleraine, Belfast, and thence to Donagliadee, where he embarked for Scotland. In this tour, including cross trips to visit particular farms and villages, he passed over about 400 Irish miles. In this whop extent of country, the crops of oats, barley, and potatoes, are remark ably luxuriant. The wheat is not quite so bulky as the other crops, and in several places in the Northern districts it was rather in an unhealthy state, having suffered slightly from tke wetness of the weather. Only two fields of turnips were seen during the whole tour. Our agri cultural friend entertains but a sorry opinion of the Irish plan of cultivation, and describes it as equally wretched in principle and practice. Except on a few spots on the coast, the potatoes were all planted in " lazy beds ;" and with the exception of some solitary spots of a few roods, he generally passed fifty miles without seeing a decent patch of red clover. There is certainly no lack of laborxers in Ireland, but the low state of agriculture is chiefly to be attributed to the want of capital among the farmers. The farms are in general too small to keep horses—their whole process of agriculture is performed by manual laboui--and hence, generation after generation passes away, leaving their successors their poverty and their plans of operation. The extraordinary abundance of the crops, even with the deplorable system of agriculture, shows the natural fertility of the soil, and leaves room for conjecture on how much might be achieved by the general introduction of an improved system of agriculture. Our correspondent has a high opinion of the frank and hospitable nature of the Irish, and stat(s, that during the whole tour he saw only two individual: in a state of intnication, Scotsman, S DAY.) ived 00 ; the Cy - Fleet, for _Arrived rived the —Arrived alparaiso, 'th, from e Orient, :clair Igo wits' tie' ero, from coast oil in a tia. n Simr, attled oft burnt rnsey to rolornbis, >mg. 20.; , lat. 22. lat. 44.

Closed doors, sealed lips, know ing winks, and half-whispers, are the only rewards we have got at the seat of inquiry for our exertions in the cause of curiosity. To mention the case is quite sufficient to send the peace-officers, like scared rabbits, into their hiding holes, and hydrophobia itself does not ap pear to have half the horrors for the other opera tives in the metropolitan bureau, that a question from a Reporter is capable of inspiring. We are however, informed, in another quarter, that some letters of a very singular tendency have been discovered, which, when the trial takes place, will throw an extraordinary light upon this curious affair. We give it the latter term, from our knowledge that it varies in some particular features from the general run of elope ments, in which love on both sides, and the mere effervescence of youthful affection, are the leading characteristics. The parties were not arrested at the same place or period, the bridegroom being absent when Mr. Gilloughly made his appearance. lie, however, came forward shortly afterwards, after some search on the part of the latter ; he submit ted quietly and even cheerfully to his authority. It was supposed that Mr. Grady, sen., would have accompanied the officer in his pursuit of the fugitives, and 'we believe that the young man himself anticipated, on hearing that a warrant had arrived, that he should have to appear in his presence. It is more than likely, therefore, that the alacrity with which he surrendered himself, may be attributed to his delight at finding that he had not, as yet, to meet the angry eye of an irri tated parent. The parties on their journey homewards did not appear disposed by , any unnecessary expen diture of money, on their parts, to augment the profits of the various innkeepers in whose houses they sojourned. The bridegroom enjoyed a to lerable appetite, and dealt with a master-hand in the good cheer which the country afforded.— The bride, however, at meal-time, became pen sive and lonely ; a diluted glass of wine formed the extent of her refreshment ; and, from all we have learned, a wing of a lark, and a peeled raisin, would have been monstrously gross com pared with her selection from the varieties of the larder. Gretna and " Merry Carlisle" in vain spread their delicacies before her ; the enjoy ment of the present, and her prospect of future happiness, appeared to supersede all grosser notions, and proved, as a certain doggrel poet has it, that— Love takes away the love for flesh and bone, And leaves the stomach full of him alone. Tho mother of the lady is, as we formerly stated, allied to a respectable family in the county of Wicklow. Her father is a gentleman of pro perty, residing near Tempo, in the county of Fermanagh. She has one brother somewhat younger than herself, and a sister respectably married, who is at present in France. The mother has been held to bail to abide her trial upon the charge of conspiracy. Elizabeth Cavanagh, the servant-maid, was admitted to bail on Saturday last, herself in 401., and two sureties in 201. each. The two Lynches were brought up on Monday, to enter into similar recognizances. Johnson, the sixth party, has not as yet offered security—and, indeed, from the carelessness of his disposition, it is pretty likely that he is perfectly well contented, under the guardianship of Mr. Dunn, of Kilmainham. The juvenile bridegroom is, we believe, com mitted to the care of his family ; but we are in formed that his motions are watched by a police officer, who follows him like his shadow. Where the bride is we have not learned, but we sup pose she has returned to her relatives.---Dublin Evening Post. FlRE.—Yesterday morning, between one and two o'clock, an alarming fire broke in the house of Mr. Moore, chandler, 14, Church-street, Hackney, which raged with considerable fury, and in a short time entirely consumed the whole house. By the prompt arrival of the .London Assurance engine, the flames were kept from ex tending their ravages. The town of Woodbridge, in Suffolk, was on Saturday the 18th inst. visited with one of the most tremendous showers ever seen in that dis trict ; it seemed as if the very cataracts of heaven were unbound, and a second deluge about to de solate the face of nature. The cloud from which the truly wondrous and devastating volume of water fell, appears to have been of vast compass and extent, since the diameter of country which felt its influence could not be less than 18 or 20 miles, although its fury for the most part seems to have been discharged over the above mention ed place. The storm contined from half -past eleven a. m. till three p. m., during which there can be no exaggeration in saying that more than a thousand pounds' worth of property was destroyed in Woodbridge.—Lincoln Mercury. A beautiful fossil of the Sea Turtle has re cently been discovered, and by the perfect sub stitution or. all the organic parts, as well as its locality, may be considered an interestin g re main of a former world. It is incrusted in al mass of ferruginous limestone, and weighs 180 pounds. The spot on which it was found is in four fathom water, and is formed of an extensive stratum of these stones, called the Stone Ridge, about four miles off Harwich harbour, and is c onsidered to be the line of conjunction between the opposite cliffs of Walton and Harwich. The collection of them gives employment to nume rous small vessels for the purpose of forming the Roman cement, and through these means was brought to light this magnificent specimen, which is at present in possession of Mr. Deck, of this place. It is understood to have been purchased b y a gent l eman o f th e University, as a donation t o the Norwich museum, which is ra pidly risin g to eminence in the scientific world. —Ca m ridge Chronicle.

It is a great f avour i te with the wor k-p e ople, who say it moves so sweetly,differently from any steals away quite rom any thing else they have upon the road. It has now been in constant work for a-year, carrying nearly double the weight of any other waggon, and while the other axles are cutting through, requiring to be oiled at great expence and trouble eve ry five miles, it shows no symptom of wear, and carries its oil quite fresh. It has met with no accident, and appears very strong and durable, thus removing the only doubt that could be en tertained of its superiority. The coupling is ra ther too long, a fault which can easily be reme died. The inventor feels confident that it may be made a cheaper as well as a better carriage.— Liverpool Courier. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.-AUQ. 30. The attendance at the betting room to-day was both respectable and numerous, still, however, little was done till towards the close. The outsiders of the St. Leger are still upon the shift. Lumley's Tramp colt, and Pelican, hare almost retired iato oblivion. Not a backer could be found at 100 to 1. Sancho has wriggled up, and got before Nonplus, at 13 to 1, and ether small changes have taken place among the little ones. Among the novelties of the day was a bet asked for on the double event of Mameluke winning the St. Leger, and Mr. Peel being at the head of the Administration within a year. Only 10 to 1 was asked, although a wag observed that Mr. Peel was a confirmed outsider. No other bets were offered on the race of statesmen, but the following are the correct odds at the close of the day 300 to 105 agst Marneluke 9 to 2 agst Granby 13 to 1 agst Sanoh• 14 to 1 agst Nonplus (taken) 20 to 1 agst Matilda 20 to I agst Lunaria 25 to 1 agst Medoro 25 to 1 agst Pedlar ST.

This being the last of the Aquatic Sports for the season, began yesterday, and may be considered as the rival of the first in the kingdom. The first race was won by the Fawn, a2B ft. 4-oared galley; Mary came in second ; Geloni, third ; and Try-for-it, fourth. The second race was be tween six 33 ft. 6-oared gallies, and was won by Poll, beating Tramp, Ann, Polyanthus, Po, and Salacia. The last was between six 32 ft. 6-oared gallies, and was won by Gipsey, beating the Fortune-teller, Gipsey Girl, Atalantia, and the Harlequin ; the Po met with an accident. The weather was remarkably propitious, and about three o'clock Lord Yarborough, in his yacht Falcon, Sir W. Curtis's Emma, with eleven other yachts, arrived in the Downs. EDINBURGH SCHOOL OF ARTS.—A meet ing was held on Friday of the subscribers to this Ipstitution, in the Waterloo Rooms, when Dr. William Thompson moved, " That Professor Pillans and Deacon-Convener Sawers be elected Directors in the room of Professor Leslie and Mr. Ruthven, who go out of office by rotation.' SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE.--A new his torical romance, entitled " Paul Jones," was last night produced at this pleasant little Theatre. It is founded on Cunningham's well known novel of that name, and was re ceived throughout with applause. SURREY THEATRE.—A new piece, called " The March of Intellect, or Family Masquerading," has been produced at this Theatre, for the purpose of exhibiting the extraordinary talents of the infant Burke, in six characters. The little fellow went through his ar duous task in a manner which astonished and delighted a closely packed assemblage, and his own announcement of a repetition of the piece was hailed with enthusiasm. PARIS, AUG. 25.—The English Theatrical performances commence on the 3d of September, not with Mr. Kean and Miss Foat (as the Constitutionnel calls that " dramatic artist"), but with Mr. Abbott and Miss Smith son, in Romeo and Juliet,—an arrangement of very ques tionable policy, particularly as the French are excited to high expectations of English acting, and may be inclined, if disappointed the first night, to underrate and neglect the thing altogether. A comedy would tell better at the opening, in the absence of first-rate tragedy talent. Power plays Mercutio. Power is a clever fel low, and a capital Irishman, but then 2Wercuiio was not an Irishman, though it is feared Power will make a com patriot of him the opening night. Poor Mercutio may l oo k on himself as a very lucky fellow if he escapes being murdered between Power and Tybalt. The corps dramatique assemble at their house, the Italian Opera, on Tuesday next. Their Directeur, Mr. Abbott, has , already arrived. Liston, too, is here, gandering about the Boulevards, with his combination of coulitenanees bottled up in sober severity of muscle, as grave as if looking as if he was going to p la y Romeo a g ain. They to face a F ren ch audience, but lie gives the id ea no :'an had o t u him never set hi s thousands in a roar—as tragedy looking Kean has also been solicited to play h ere , but be wants 601. a night, and they would give him no more than 40L ; but they entertained some hopes of having him yet, as negotiations are still pending between the high contracting parties.", hc' SPIRIT OP Trim PUBLIC JOURNALS. With some satisfaction we refer to the salutary caution which we exercised in discussing a pre tended fact, brought forward within these LW- days by the Tory journals, and for purposes, it now appears, the most unprincipled. To those who had no other opportunity of hearing it, the Times of Monday and Wednesday last would make known, that the ex-Tory faction, through their printed organs, had raised Mr. Herrit!s, late Secretary to the Treasury, into what was termed a " King's candidate" for the vacant office of Chancellor of the Exchequer : in other words, these exclusive loyalists charged the King with having condescended to start a " candidate" for a most important situation of the Government, without consulting the Cabinet, his official ad visers. It affords us more pleasure than we can express, to declare at the same time our grateful respect for what have been, in reference to the Chancellorship of the Exchequer, the language and conduct of his Majesty, and to offer an as surance, no less unquestionable, that they have not been what the Tories impute to him, but positively and absolutely the reverse. Our readers will remember that we treated the " fact" as a production of the Tories ; but for the mo ment assumed its authenticity as an hypothesis, for the convenience of applying to it a course of constitutional reasoning, and drawing from it conclusions which might not be without perma nent value to our countrymen. While the rea sonings are, we believe, unassailable, the fact we know to be false. Neither Mr. Herries, nor any one else, has ever been the " King's candidate." His Majesty knew the Constitution of his realms too well to propose, or ever dream of proposing, an individual to fill a subordinate office in his Cabinet ; far less to force a Chancellor of the Exchequer, so proposed, upon a reluctant Admi nistration. It is all a base calumny upon the King —a grievous subject of complaint on behalf of the Sovereign against some of the most worthless of his subjects. His Majesty has never aimed throughout this crisis, at assuming a power which is, in its essence, inseparable from the responsi bility of his sworn Ministers. That some mis understanding—produced by an unfortunate error of judgment in a person whom we shall not unnecessarily name—has arisen with regard to this Ministerial appointment, is a truth suffi ciently attested : but neither the Sovereign nor the body of the Cabinet can be charged, with any justice, .as its author. On the other hand, 1 his Majesty has, it is understood, made manifest his gracious desire to have himself and his Ca binet extricated by the most liberal and concilia tory means from this unseasonable dilemma.— That the Ministers who have suffered so much embarrassment from the effects of it, at a mo ment more especially of such pressing importance to our relations with foreign States,—that they should be equally anxious as their Sovereign to have the knot untied in a manner consistent with his dignity and comfort, and their own sense of public duty, we need not take much pains to prove. What, then, can obstruct or retard for an hour, the accomplishment of reciprocal wishes so natural and honourable both to his "Majesty and to his Ministers ? Of course no title that 'Mr. Herries can produce can seriously stand in the way of such high interests, and of a con summation so infinitely to be desired. Suppose, for the sake of argument, that Mr. Herries did receive and accept a tender of the vacant office, can he affirm that the tender had the v oice of the Cabinet to support it ? that it was not made to him under a false impression of the power by which it was sanctioned ?—that his Majesty know ing that of which he now is fully cognizant, with respect to the opinions and feelings of his ser vants, would ever have thought of Mr. Herries for a Cabinet office, any more than of the Man in the Moon ? Besides all this, can the gentle man flatter himself that he has any members in the Cabinet in favour of his pretensions ? And, lastly, can he fear that the country would suffer from his retirement ? With such men as Mr. Huskisson, Mr. Sturges Bourne, and Mr. Chas. Grant, all competent to discharge its duties, if imposed upon them, does Mr. Herries really im agine that his fitness for the situation is more in disputable than theirs ? Why, we are not void of some degree of astonishment how an indivi dual—not, certainly, of eminent or splendid re putation, with the feelings of King and Cabinet, and it may be fairly added, of the country, too, against him—can restrain even for five minutes his eagerness to get free from a position so invi dious, and, as he must well know, so utterly un tenable as this,. into which he has been thrown by a mere accidental mistake, which all th e i r Ti iti s it t ly- d t i h se in re k d in it g ab p le art ti o t of society too fficwouldoffice. If co:person Fi ler a were asked to dinner, and should be afterwards informed by the master of the house that he had been invited through mistake, would any gentle man, under such circumstances, think of sitting clown to table ? It appears that Mr. Huskis son's second audience has been postponed to this day, the Right Hon. Gentleman deeming it ad visable to be in full possession of the opinions of all his colleagues before he again seeks the pre sence of his Majesty. We can state, that there exists but one feeling in the Cabinet upon the principle by which this question ought to he fro yarned ; and that the issue will be a happy One for both Sovereign and country, we entertain a rea sonable hope.—Tintei. We are yet unable to communicate any posi tive intelligence with regard to the Ministerial arrangements ; but we trust we shall be enabled to inform our readers to-morrow that every thing has been settled in a satisfactory manner. We are sure that no light matter would induce men who agree as to the policy which the Govern ment ought to pursue to ensure the welfare of the nation, to expose, by their disunion, the country to the hazard of an opposite system; a nd we have, in the anxious wish of his Majesty during the formation of the Ministry lately de prived of its distinguished head, to secure to the country such an Administration as would most effectually promote its interests and preserve its reputation, and in his well-known m i ld and libe ral character, the best guarantee that no obstacle to a satisfactory arrangement can ever proceed from the Sovereign. We have, indeed, every so ago, of a satisfactory i ssue, will be am ply realized.—Morning Chroni c l e. give We have been unwilling to currency to outrca th n re fore days believing, that the assurance we held the idle rumours of the day, arising out of the appointment of Mr. Herriea to the Chancellor ship of the Excheque r; and equally unwilli ng are we now to attempt to reason conclusiv e ly upon what can only h e cons id ere d a s mere hypo thesis. This m uc h , h owever , we may say—• that if Mr. Herries were appointed by the Pre.., mier to that honourable and laborious situation, and if subsequently he were approved of by tlis King, then the talk about the ~ dictation" of an irresponsible" personage to a responsible half formed Cabinet, Pi tbo most dAyallinii and ncn.
