[FROM THE MORNING CHRONICLE.] The late uncontradicted rumours of an hurtle , diate dissolution of Parliament, which have now happily subsided, impose on us the duty of en deavouring to trace their origin, and more parti cularly as we conceive, in many instances, they created mischief, inducing some who held seats in Parliament, and others who were candidates, to avow their political principles before the pro per time had arrived. We confess that the posi tive manner in which it was circulated, and the extreme eagerness of parties in betting that it would take place, did operate powerfully on us,as great odds were offered in every part of Loudon, and particularly by the friends of a Noble Lord, whose ambition and long purse teach us to ex pect that when the event takes place he shall be able to nominate thirteen Gentlemen to re present his ambition and fortune and to further his political pursuits, added to which we heard of the activity of a Gentleman well known in the Ministerial divisions handing about a ter rible list of the proscribed Members who, he confidently asserted, would all lose their seats from having dared to give an honest and li beral vote upon the great question of Catholic Emancipation. This gentleman was continually shoving this self-important paper into the hands of the Secretaries of the 'treasury ; and, as we conceive, actiri in concert with the Noble Lord, to whom we have before alluded. Just at this critical moment of conjecture, appears a❑ address of a Noble Lord to his constituents, stating that he thought it right to inform them that it was not his intention to offer himself again to their con sideration. The address 'lf this Noble Lord, who was known to be in the confidence of one of the leading Members of the Cabinet, gave additional weight to the rumours then afloat, and we believe unintentionally on his part thus in jured the cause of religious liberty, which he had supported in Parliament. 'Why announce his in tentions then, unless upon an absolute certainty, that the question of a dissolution had been posi tively fixed upon ? We confess that We did not attach so much consequence to it as others did, because we imagined that the Noble Lord had penned what he conceived to be a very pretty ad dress to his Constituents, and that he had kept it in his desk for some time, and having read it very often, was so enamoured of the composition, that he could not refrain from giving it a premature birth. We must allow that these reports, which were intended to create the necessity of a new Parliament by the general ferment which it tended to raise between Elector and Representatives, were managed with considerable dexterity, though we had a confidence that a distinguished Member of the. Cabinet, who had in the last Sessions of Parliament, on very many questions of import ance, shewn himself so friendly to civil and re ligious liberty, could not be hrought to think, having seen the reflection of his own image in the Lakes, that the month of October, this year, was the best time, under all Circumstances, for an appeal to the sense of the people. THE THEATRE. Covzwr-GAnDLN.---- The Managers of this Theatre, in clue homage to our great dramatic Bard, commenced the season last night with the tragedy of Julius Cwsar. Mr. WARDE, who a few seasons ago was the chief serious actor at the Haymarket Theatre, came forward in the cha racter of Brutus. Mr. WAnnE possesses a good figure, and altogether an agreeable person. His face is regular, and well calculated to express graver emotions. His voice is clear, and his articulation distinct and impressive. His deport ment, so far as the character of Brutus requires, was easy and appropriate. lle has evidently int proved by his secession from the London boards, and possesses talents that; as far as we could venture to judge front his performance last night, which must certainly have been attended with some degree of apprehension, entitle him to a respect able station on a Winter Stage in the Metropolis. There is a grave dignity in his manner which well becomes the part of Brutus. He was re ceived with the usual kindness of a British audience, and some of his injudicious admirers or friends attempted to practice the trick adopt ed by KEAN'S besotted partisans, of calling for him to announce the next performance. This senseless clamour, insulting to the other per , formers, was, however, overborne by the good sense of the audience in general. Mr. C. LEMaLE was received with peculiar and vehement ap. plause on his entrance in Mark Anthony, a cha racter which he has obviously studied with criti cal attention, and which he represents with ad mirable spirit, judgment, and feeling. Mr. COOPER gave the impetuous Cassius in due con trast, as the Author intended, with the temperate and philosophic dignity of Brutus. The angry Cusca wait prominently excellent in the performance of Mr. FAWCETT, and the ve teran had a very gratifying proof of popular fa vour on his entrance. The little, but interesting part of Portia, received due justice from Mrs. BARTLEY. The Theatre has been beautified in all its ornamental parts. The audience were re freshed by the appearance of the traditional green curtain, which, we hope, will retain its original station. A new drop curtain, admirably painted by GRIEVE and sons, received the stamp of just and general approbation from a ♦ery nu merous audience. The Afterpiece was The Rams bottoms at Rheims, or the Coronation of Charles the Tenth, which si,as given in all its former splendour. On Saturday last, the Marquis of ITEturroan was elected Recorder of Coventry, on the demise of the late WILLIAM Earl of CRAVEN. The Election of the Noble Marquis to the Recordership had not only the unanimous voice of the Corporation, but has afforded universal gratification to the inhabitants of the City and County. We are sinc e rely sorry to announce the death of the late Lady SARAH DE CRESPIGNT, who died on Thursday last, after a most prolonged illness, at Sir WILLIAM DE CRESPIGNY'S seat, Rhosdyon Tower, Carmarthenshire, in the bosom of her afflicted family. She was the daughter Of OTHER-LEWIS WINDSOR, Earl of PLYMOUTH, and CATHERINE, daughter of TllomAs, Lord ARCHER. THE KING, &c. WINDSOR, SEPT. 26.—Yesterday afternoon his MAJESTY drove from the Royal Lodge in his pony phaeton, and paid a visit to their Royal Highnesses the Princess Augusta and Duchess of Gloucester, at Frogmore Lodge, where he arrived at three o'clock. Shortly afterwards his Majesty left, accom panied by his Royal Sisters in the Princess's open carriage, and preceded by one outrider, • for the Castle. The Royal P a rty passed through the Little Park, and entered the Castle by the new gateway into the quadrangle.—Mr. J. i'Vyattrille was in attendance, and had the honour of conducting them through the corridor and other parts of the improvements, after which they paSsed through the town to Frogmore.—His Majesty re mained with his Royal Sisters about twenty minutes after their return, when he took his departure at half after five o'clock, in his phaeton, for the Royal Lodge, to dinner.—This day his Majesty's phaetons are ordered for two o'clock, when he is expected to take his usual airing.

BRIGHTON, SEPT. 25.—N0 doubt seems to be entertained of his MAJESTY'S intentions to return to the Pavilion towards the latter end of October, or early in November. Fashionable winter residences, consequently, are in increased request. The • inhabitants of the town are in high spirits.—Sir Sandford and Lady Graham have engaged Western House for four months, with liberty to lengthen the period. Mr. Yard has engaged a mansion in Regency-square for twelve months. Lady Copley has removed to Regency square from the Marine hotel, aml where, we understand, the Attorney-General arrived last night.

The Duke and Duchess are expected to leave us to-morrow for Abingdon, the Duke being much improved in his bodily health, as well as re- Leved front the gout, by the benefit derived from the water._: The Earl of Clare and Lord Rendlesham, attend the Mont pellier Spa, where they drink the water. The Promenade is very numerously attended, particularly from half-past eight till ten o'clock. During the time a band of wind Anstruments performs oce..sionally in an Orchestra, or in the Pump Room, according to the state of the weather.—Sir Charles Cockerel, Mr. Serjeant Onslow, and other Members of the House of Cons. mons continue with us. The Duke of York arrived at A udley House on Sunday, from Sudburn, the seat of the Marquis of Hertford, where his Royal Highness had been staying on a shooting excursion. Her Serene Highness the Duchess of Saxe Coburg left Clare mont yesterday, on her return to the Continent. 11rs.•Coutts entertained a select party to dinner yesterday, at her house in Stratton-street, Piccadilly, among whom were the Duke of St. Alban's, Lord Frederick and the Ladies Charlotte and Illaria Beauclerk.

The Earl and Countess of Darnley, who arrived in town on Thursday, from a tour through Ireland and Scotland, have left for their seat, Cobham =Hall, Kent. Sir William Curtis is amongst the list of arrivals at South. ampton. • f:loped Miss n captivating lass of nineteen, left her bar-maid's avocation, in the neighbourhood of Knights bridge, on Saturday morning, with a son o f M ars , Li eutenant 5_...t.2d, who occasionally lodged in the house. They were traced to Hounslow, where they took chaise, and proceeded to within two miles of Twyford, Berks, where they were over taken in a hired gig from Maidenhead, by the two brothers of the lady, when the gallant was rather unceremoniously attacked, and a meeting was proposed and accepted as yesterday. The lass returned with reluctance. :::::c4:4.7.", ~„4):.k.,:e:.k.:15:4,..:,;;.:117A-14:--74:771:044e.,..3At4:1:4?412• . ;',., s i.' .3:14. - , OF -- v p , .- q"‘ 4 44, - -i el 4 lIIPROMPTU.

Yesterday all the poles (the scatibldino• poles we m ean ) were stuc k up , mar ki ng the boundaries of th e intended inclosure for the Duke of Wellington : it will take in the present path from Piccadilly into Ilyde Park towards the Green. Achilles, and under the existing; iron r a ili ng of the Duke's pres en t groun d s; part o f the road or ride and drive; and the whole of the grass plat at Hamilton-pl ace and thence to Park-lane, an d f rom t h e f ootpat h. Th e brazen statue is not to be enclosed, further than it is now enclosed by iron railing; it is still to be exposed to the public. Poles are also raised in St. James's Park, as well as in Hyde Park, by the curds and whey house, for the completion of the improvements content plated there by the erection of a handsome new gate into the Park, facing Grosvenor.place. The tollhouses now existing at Hyde Park-corner are forthwith to be removed ; they are to be sold by auction to be pulled down. The new toll-houses beyond the Cannon Brewery at Knightsbridge are just com pleted, and are to be used on t h e I st o f O cto b er next; ap parently they are built to last, notwithstanding all Lord Lowther may say and do to the contrary, for the roofs are covered with thick copper sheeting. The view, &e. info the Park, by Park lane, is much improved by iron railing taking the place of the dead wall.-oforning Herald.) mAitTIN, M.P. AND BLACKWOOD'S MA GAzINE.—The 11011. Member. for Galway this day applied for a warrant against Mr. CAnEm i , the publisher of Blackwood's Magazine, at Bow street, to compel him to enter into recognizances for an alleged libel. In consequence of the ab. sconce of Mr. MINSIIULL the Case stands over till to-morrow. Last week a flock of seven sea gulls were seen to fly, in a nearly south direction, between Ac. ton and Ealing, only about five miles from Hyd e Park. It is said to be a prognostic of very sharp weather. ANECDOTES, &c. QUIN, THE ACTOH..—Bearing much of the Exeter Market for J ohn Dories, Q , lin visited that place for the. purpose of feasting on them. A fine Dory was brought on the table, and Quin was delighted in seeing it. The butter in the sauce, however, proving bad, he exclaimed, with a deep sigh, '' I am now convinced that perfect happiness is not to be found in this world." LORD MANSFIELD.—This learned and eminent Judge was born at Perth ; when ho WaS entered at Oxford, the person who gave in the place of his birth, being a Scotsman, spoke Perth so much like Bath that the last mentioned place stands upon the books. THEATRICAL DOCUMENT.—The following curious Thea trical Document was issued by Parliament in the year 1642, and goes far to prove the progress which fanaticism had made at that period in this country.—" An ordinance of both Houses of Parliament, for the suppressing of Publike Stage Playes throughout the kingdome, during these calamitous Times.— Whereas the distressed estate of Ireland steeped in her own blood, and the distracted state of England throAtened with a cloude of blood by civill warre, call for all possible means to ap pease and advert the wrath of God appearing in these judg. ments; amongst which, fasting and prayer having been often tried to be very effectuall, hay bin lately, and are still enjoined. And whereas publike sports do not well agree with publike calamities, nor publike stage player, with seasons of humilia tion, this being an exercise of sad and pious solemnity, and the other being spectacles of pleasure, too commonly expressing las civious mirth and levitie ; it is therefore thought fit and or tieined by the Lords and Commons in this Parliament assem bled, that while these sad causes and set times of humiliation doe continue, publike stage player shall cease, and bee forborne. Instead of which are recommended to the people of this land, the profitable and seasonable considerations of repentance, re conciliation, and peace with God ; which probably may pro duce outward peace and prosperity, and bring again times of joy and gladness to these nations." Die Veneris, Septemb. 2nd, 1642. "...Ordered by the Lords and Commons assembled in Patna• ment, that the Ordinance concerning Stage Playes, be forthwitl printed and published. Jonx BROWNZ, Cler. Parliament Locirr.—A workman, employed in removing the founds tie?: of an old house near Montpellier, in France, found a glass bottle, hermetically sealed. It was found to contain, in an ex cellent state of preservation, a Lation inscription on vellum. The following is a translation :—" Mortal ! thou haat found a treasure. Here are placed before thee, faith in Christ and mo deration in things terrestrial. The bottle is neither empty nor of little worth, which affords cheerfnlness to the mind, and health to the body. Quaff of this, and thou shalt imbibe what is more precious than the juice of Falernum or Chios. So wrote John Locke, Englishman, in the year of our Lord 1675." It is not generally known, that the parents and ancestors of this philosopher were buried at East Brant, where some of his nearest collateral descendants (he had no lineal descendants) still reside. His father, who was a Captain in the army, was killed at the seige of Bristol, in 1645 ; zand his mother was a sister of the celebrated Chancell. King, who, it was well known, was the son of a grocer, a t E xe t er . Locke died in 1704, and bequeathed the greater part of his proporty to the grandfather of the present Lord King. TURLEY PYRATS.—The late Mr. Cu - mutat, having one day taken a long ride into the country, called upon a good old lady, to whom he had long been known. The old lady re quested he would take some refreshment, and on his aclui escing, she rung the bell, and desired the cold turkey pye to be brought up. After a considerable delay, the footman re turned, and told his mistress that the rats had devoured it.— "Ah ! " said the old lady, " I know who rats are, the two maids, Jenny and Sarah are the rats."—" Madam,' replied Mi.. Curran, " that surely can't surprise you, time •ut of mind Jenny-Sarah: (Janizaries) have been Turkey Pyrats." Tiz IwxOczw'r Coxrzesrox.---A young country squire paid his addresses to a lively lass in the village, whose pretty face captivated him so much as to convince him that he could have no happiness in life without her. He succeeded in his suit, arid the wedding-day was fixed. The ardent lover think. lag the period, short as it was, too distant, would fain have an ticipated his felicity, but she turned a deaf ear to his solicita tions. At length the tardy interval passed away, the wedding. day arrived, and the loving couple were linked together indis solubly. All his wishes being now consummated, he praised her for the virtuous prudence with which she had resisted his importunity, " for; to confess the truth," says he, "if you had been foolish enough to grant me any favours beforehand, I should certainly never have married you." " I dare say not," replied the young bride ; I had been too often caught in that way before." Mr. Mooftz, whose spirited translation of ANACREON has procUred him the title of ANA CREON MOORE, and many of whose other works class him with the first Poets of the age, has finished his life of the late Mr. SHERIDAN, which may be expected to prove a valuable addition to the biographical treasures of. British Literature. We may reasonably doubt whether certain works which are imputed to Mr. Mooaz were really written by him, though he has never condescend ed to disavow them, as his translation of ANA CREON was dedicated by permission to his pre sent MAJESTY, when Prince of WALES. The King of the NETHERLANDS has given the Grand Cross of the Order of the Belgic Lion, to their Highnesses the Duke of Cumberland, Princes Charles and Albert, of Prussia, and Prince William Louis George, of Saxe Wittgeu. stein. The city of Liege has set the honourable ex ample of opening a subscription in favour of the Greeks. Many young men in the University have shewn great enthusiasm and generosity in favour of that heroic people. Subscriptions have also been opened at Mons, and in the Commer cial Club at Brussels. CORONIIII,'S INQUEST.-Yesterday morning' an Inquest was herd at the Bunch of Grapes, Castle-street, Mary lebone, to inquire into the cause of the death of an infant child, whose mother (Mrs . . Sullivan), it will be recollected, was inhu manly kicked by a man named Alfred Flowers. It appeared, from the examination of several witnesses, and from the state ment of the child's mother, that on /V,londay evening, Sullivan and his wife, and another man and a woman, went to a public house on Saffron-hill, when a Catholic Club is held for the sup port of the children of poor Catholic patents, to which they w ere contributors. On their return home, the women were a sho r t distance en were met in Oxford-street by th ree and m . ti F ey lowers, and GottPzall), who treated the women very rudely. They called to their husband s , w h o came to their assistance, and Alfred Flowers struck Sulliv a n, an d h e (Alif behind, 'in and d returned the blow. Alfred Flowers, who had the best of th e fray, seized his own and Sulliv a n' s hat,i and was running away with both, when Sullivan's wife seized Mat, and called to her husband. Flowers then kicked the woman (who was far ad vanced in pregnancy with the deceased) in the abdomen, 4nd ran away. The blow was given with great violence: it caused at the time a considerable heemorrhage, and afterwards a pre mature delivery.—Mr. Denton, a surgeon who attended her, gave as his opinion that the child was prematurely born ; it was very much discoloured about the head, but those appear ances had been visible in a full grown child. It lived three days, and died as it was not able to take proper nourishment. Ile considered that children born in the eighth month very seldom lived. He was of opinion that the premature la- I bour was produced by the injury received by the kick, but the woman was not now in a dangerous state.—The CORONER said, that the conduct of Alfred Flowers in kicking the woman, was as inhuman as it was brutal, and unbecoming a human being. With reference to the law of the case, it was stated in Hawkins's Pleas of the Crown, and confirmed by other autho rities, that if any one strike a woman big with child, and the child should be borne alive, but die of such injuries, the party offending should be guilty of murder.—He therefore left the Jury to decide in such a manner as would give themselves and the country satisfaction. The Jury having viewed the body, returned a verdict of "Manslaughter against Alfred Flowers, he having, by a kick, caused a premature birth and death of the infant," WINCHESTER, SEPT. 25. The Mayor and Corporraion of this city ass n- bled at St. John's House last Monday, for the purpose of ap pointing a successor to the present Mayor, G. K. LYFORD. Esq., whose annual period of office will shortly expire; when: 1 1 / 2 1r. Alderman B arnes was unan i mous l y e l ected. Mr. La Pe relic was at the same time appointed senior, and .Mr. Druitt. junior Bailiff. The Mayor, Mayor elect, Aldermen, Recorder, Bailiffs, and Members of the Corporation, preceded. by the civic regalia., then went in procession to the Guildhall, where the oath of allegiance, (Sec., were administered by the town-clerk, and the appointments ratified.

Al ' tkrmen, Recorder, the members and friends of the Cotaioea- Lion. - sat down to a sumptuous banquet at St. John'..s Irouie, consisting of turtle, venison, game, and oilier delicacies calcu lated to tickle the palate of an epicureL-ihe whole admit-Alf served under the superintendence of Miss Phillips, of the George. Inn. The dessert was composed oi various kinds of fruit in abundance; and the wines, selected from the well-atocked. cellars of our townsman, Young, were of excellent flavour and quality. On the removal of the cloth, the health of his Majesty war drank with hearty cheers by the whole company ; sinitiar de monstrations of loyal attachment were manifested on th e ot h er branches of th e Royal Family being named. Other customary, toasts were given in succession.

Mr. PAITLI , :T iIIxr.DMAY proposed the health of the 2d arq of Chandos, high Steward Of Winchester, which was loudly, cheered by all present. The Marquis of CuasrDos assured the company that he felt the greatest difficulty in finding words adequately to ,xpresa his feelings oa the present occasion. It was his utmost ambt - tion to possess the good opinion of his neighbours • and if any thing could make a ma n p rou d, t h e attainment of would do so. It was truly gratifying again to meet his fellow-citizeea under the same circumstances as he had done before, and could assure_ them that it should invariably be his study to merit the highest trust reposed in him ; he should always feel anxious to promote the interests of the city at large, and of every individual connected with it. Though residing at a distance from them, they were not forgotten by could assure them of his warm and most sincere friendship.-- (Applause.) . _ , _ The health of the Members for the City was drank, and re, ceived with cheers. Mr. P. MILDMAY, in acknowledging the compliment, sail he felt extremely flattered by the kind and friendly manner. in which he had been received. It gave him the greatest pleasure to avail himself of the first opportunity of meeting his constituents after the close of a Parliamentary Session. because lie conceived it incumbent upon him to give some account of his public conduct. He felt that such reckonitigs as these generated a better understanding between himself and his constituents, and drew closer the bond of friendship between them. Only on two occasions, during the past Ses sion, had he received instructions from the citizens of Win chester. The first related to a reduction of taxation, and he had supported, the prayer of their petition to the utmost of his ability.__( Applause.)—The other he would abstain from expatiating upon in a place devoted to harmony and hilarity ; but would merely say that, in continuing the line of conduct he had before pursued, he should be guided by an earnest desire to promote his country's good, having no interest at heart but the public weal.—(llear !) Sir EDWARD HYDE EAST said, no man could be more. grateful than himself for the grtifying a4:l distinguished marks of approbation which had been manifested towards him by the gentlemen present ; it was the proudest hour an independent representative could enjoy. His chief' object in life was to cul tivate the esteem and friendship of his constituents. He had discharged his duty as their representative in Parliament inde pendently, and he would continue to preierve that ind,tpen._ dence by acting according to the dictates - of his own judgment. —(Applause.)—ln every situation he had endeavoured, as far• as he possibly could, to pay attention to the instructions of his constituents; and, whenever any question had arisen, in the result of which they may have felt interested, if he had differed with them in opinion it was solely upon public grounds ; and this rule of couduct he should observe.—(Hear )—He was de votedly attached to the Constitution in Church and State, and, would, if necessary, sacrifice his life in defence of it. This we believe to be in effect what fell from the Honourable Baronet; from the low tone in which he spoke we were un able to catch his sentiments with certainty. Alluding, we pre sume, to the often-agitated subjeet of Catholic Emancipation,. " I am one of those (said h e ) w h o never lik e to go to extremes. for I am sure all public msay..res must admit of some species qt . compromise."
