THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts. from the Morning Papers, March,31,1825 [BRITISH PR uss:l There was an interesting discussion last night iritthe House of Commons, on the subject of the Quarantine Laws. Mr. - John Smith expressed t his regret that the Bill now before Parliament did not go to the full length of the doctrine of non-contagion. We agree perfectly with Mr. Wallace, that this subject is one that requires youth consideration, and therefore We would have. the,inquiry renewed at the earliest opportunity. .Legislation, we think, ought to keep pace with the progress of public opinion, but never go far ..beyond it ; and for that reason we hold it the more desirable that those inquiries should not be delay ed, which in all probability would in their re suit convince the public that the dreaded danger is .wholly imaginary. _ All the weight of evidence is decidedly subversive of the opinion that the riague is contagious. To us it appears that no proposition was ever more clearly established than that the plague is simply an epidemic dis ease. Why, then, if this be so, should our commerce be burdened with restraints to protect AA, against evils that do not exist? Why, at any rate, should not further inquiry take place to de 6ile whether we or those who differ from us are in error? We are not friendly to precipitate le gislation, neither are we to the continuance of absurd regulations, founded on exploded and mischievous prejudices. [MORNING POST.] The day now fixed by Sir Francis Burdett for the second reading of the Roman Catholic Bill, is also, we believe, that appointed by Mr. Whit more for bringing before the House the present state of the Corn Laws. We presume, therefore, that some arrangement will be made between the Hon. Baronet and the lion. Member by which a separate day may be devoted to each of these important subjects. At the same time, the shorter the interval between the two discussions the bet ter; for the call of the House on the 18th of April will ensure a full attendance of Members from all parts of the country, and nothing can be more de sirable than to have such a question as the Corn Laws debated in theamplest manner by the various Representatives of the United Kingdom. We express this opinion without any reference to the result of Mr. Whitmore's motion. Whether any immediate or any future alteration, or, on the contrary, no alteration in the Corn Laws be deemed advisable by Parliament, we cannot dis guise from ourselves the extreme anxiety which now prevails upon the subject. Distinct from -every shade of party feeling, the public is divided, end of course the House of Commons, into two opposite classes with respect to the admission of Foreign Grain. The Country Gentlemen of England, Scotland, and Ireland, are naturally adverse to a measure which would open the h ome Market to the Agriculturists of other nations, and reduce the price of land produce pro portionably in the United Kingdom, as well as reauce the present scale of rent, and generally i , Tjure our landed interests. The Irish Members, two-thirds of whom are returned by Counties, may be supposed to object strongly to any change in a system which gives their Constituents a monopoly of the English market, and certainly contributes most essentially to the present pro sperity- of the Sister Country. Arrayed against the supporters of the Agricultural part of the community, are all those connected with large towns, and with Manufactures and Commerce, who see the vast importance of cheap food in promoting not only the welfare of the messes of ps , eple they represent, but also of the public at large in a remote and extend ed sense. The business of the latter, in short, is to prove . that ultimately. the Agriculturists would be benefited by a free trade in grain, —in other words, that if the existing system be pursued, a retrogression in our mercantile and manufacturing prosperity must take place, at tended by the direct consequences to the Agri culturists themselves. Let the landed interests be convinced of this truth, and they may yield tit argument. to their antagonists ; but otherwise the fate of Mr. W hitanore's proposition is not doubtful. It would still, however, be one thing to establish in the minds of the Agriculturists an abstract conclusion, and another to gain their asient to a practical change in which the pro spect of distant advantage was counterbalanced by the loss of certain and immediate profits. [THE TIMES.I Lord D on oughmore,appears, from a report of proceedings which took place at the late Clot'. rnel:Assizes, under colours which, so far as yet can be judged Of, reflect no credit on his Lord ship either as a Magistrate or ainan. An action was brought against the Noble Lord by a Mr. Beere for an unjust and malicious exercise of his Magisterial power, in employing it for the pur pose of entailing on the plaintiff the penalties due. to felony and Whiteboyism. Beer' had distrained upon one White fOr rent—the cattle had been rescued.. An information as t o th e , • rescue was sworn before Lord G1en,.. 5 0-a)1, and a warrant issued against White. To execute ; this warrant, .the.. plaintiff went, accompanied by- constables and yecnpart,. in the night o f the 7th of January. White was . missing, 'but the _horses .which had been, rescued .were foUnd in his _stable ; and_ they were seized .by plaintiff's orders, .as his property. W.hite went with his story., to Lord Donoughmore, which his Lordship turned into a.charge of felony, and _wrote ouritit information to that effect with, his own _hand.; on vihich,l3l:ere was captured and thrown into prison', bail being hy_his Lordship refused. The bill for . this felony being thrown out. by the Grand Jury., another for the burglary, in breaking open White's house at night, was preferred, and _found by, the Grand jury. Beere was tried on this,and acquitted; and.now brought his action for these acts of alleged violence and malice. It was said, by counsel, thatun the face of the transactions,, Lord Donough tnwe knew the real..merits. of the case, and yet coloured them against the plaintiff, to suite. some unjustifiable object. It is, at the same time, justice to add, that we have only seen the speech of the plaintiff's counsel and the documents pro duced on his side of the question : we are there fore not at liberty to say more than that the jury found damages against the defendant of 2501. But those who are acquainted with. Ireland will he aware, that against a man so powerful as Lord Donoughmore, damages are seldom given for nothing. [MORNING HERALD.] We have always endeavoured to view the sub ject of Catholic Emancipation as an abstract ques tion, unconnected with the machinery employed, on the one hand to promote, and on the other to defeat it. We have no doubt but that Sir Fran i 7 , A cis ouruett and Mr. Plunkett, on the one hand, and Lord Liverpool and Mr. Peel, on the other, with many more, are perfectly sincere and dis interested in their respective views and conduct. But we doubt whether the same concession can, with truth, be made to all the prominent advo cates of either side of the question. To say no thing of the vast exceCof zeal beyond discretion, which marks the conduct and the speeches of many of them, it is impossible not to perceive that some of the former have views of personal ambi tion to gratify, with no small share of factious ness to boot ; while among the opponents are persons who evidently tremble for the safety of the loaves and fishes they enjoy ; while others are the slaves of antiquated views and prejudices,, upon which the light of reason and of argument has no effect. Still the abstract principle, that men should not suffer in their civil rights on ac count of their religious opinions, remains im mutable, and must, sooner or later, prevail over the indiscretions and inveteracy of friends and foes. The struggle on the second reading of the Bill will he tremendous, and as nicely balanced, probably, as any question that ever came before Parliament. A question of so. much import, which has been carried by so small a majority, must, of course, remain in sus pense ; and where so much will depend upon the forbearance and good sense of those who have, unfortunately, hitherto shown but littre, of those qualities, the issue must be very doubt ful. The silly sanity of imputing to Mr. O'Con nell the drawing of the Bill, is an instance of the indiscretion we allude to ; and the tone of triumph in which some of the Catholic Deputies have spoken of their cordial recep-• tiou in this country, are proofs how puerile and unstatesmanlike a race they are for the most part composed of. The old farce of The Upholsterer would form an admirable satire upon the quidnunc-ism of their pretensions. On the other hand, all attempts to raise the infamous cry of " No Popery !" seem to be, as we trust they always will be, wholly unavailing. Like the cry of " Wolf !" in the fable, it. has been too long a fiction to be now taken for a reality. The English people begin to discover that they have as little to fear from the Pope as from the Pre tender—those joint bugbears of former times ; and, though they have quite as little attachment to the errors of Popery as their ancestors, they wisely consider, that to worship God in his own way can be no real obstacle or objection to a man's enjoying, in common with themselves, the rights and privileges of civil society. Still we are aware that the question has many and serious difficulties to contend with ; and, though we think it is makik rapid progress towards accom plishment, we would not have the Catholics too sanguine as to the probability of an immediate favourable result. LTUE PUBLIC LEDGEII.I The Paris Papers, which arrived last night, possess no intelligence worth noticing. There is an article, however, in one of them, which, if it could be relied on,'would form an exception, as it alludes to the existence of a misunderstand ing between Portugal and Spain, of so serious a character, too, as to threaten an interrup tion of all diplomatic intercourse between the two Powers. The cause of the alleged differences is not. mentioned, but it is sufficient that the pro ceedings of the Portuguese Government have a taint of liberality, to provoke the Spanish Mo narch to the adoption of some such intemperate resolution as that stated in the Quotidienne. More over, the Portuguese Court is on the most friendly terms with our own, which is another substantial cause of offence in the present irritated state of King Ferdinand's feelings towards this country. At the same time, the determination which Portugal appears to have taken of settling her differences with the Brazils in an amicable manner, is in -such contrast with Spanish policy, that we should not be very much sutprised were a suspension of diplomatic intercourse to take place. But, hap pily for the two nations, the . King of Spain is as impotent as he is irascible ; and his resentment against Portugal would evaporate, from necessity, in the mere act of recalling his Ambassador. Prince Metternich still remains in Paris, but no light IS thrown on the object which detains him in that capital. As the Emperor of Austria, it is said, will set out in a few days for Italy, we suppose his Minister will soon proceed for the same des tination. The route of the Emperor will be through Padua and :Verona ; and it is not ex pected that he will reach Mantua, where the ,Empress is to join him, before the end of next month. His journey cannot therefore be Of a very urgent nature ; and' there may not be the least foundation, after all, for the rumours, which have attached to it so much impOrtance. At Milan their Imperial, Majesties are expected to make a long stay ; but there is no intimation about holding a Congress in that city ; and, if such an idea was ever entertained, it appears to have been wholly abandoned. Not a .word, too, is said of the journey of the Empe ror Alexander and . King of Prussia to Italy ; and this rumour, and that of the Congress, may be coupled together as equally improbable. ENtw TIMES.I Tho. , e of our Readers who have made their ar rangements to visit Rheims in the middle of May, will be somewhat disappointed on learning that the Coronation of the King of France certuinly cannot take place before the end of June.— Chartps the Tenth, will out be crowned till the Session is closed ; and the Chambers have taken and are likely to take so unconscion able a time to discuss the laws for indem nifying the emigrants, and for reducing the Interest of the National Debt, that the Ses sion cannot possibly be brought to a termina tion before the period we have mentioned. In all probability, the Indemnity Law will undergo some modifications in the Chamber of Peers, which of course will require the Bill to be re turned to the Deputies and re-debated there. Should the same thing happen to the Reduction Law, there is no saying how long the Session may last. The French are following our Mi nisters, haud passibus trquis, in the discus sion of the Custom Duties. Three articles which have come under consideration in the Committee on the Douanes will serve to give an idea of the enlightened views of the French Statesmen in matters of commerce. A duty amounting to a prohibition is imposed on the ex portation of horses from France. Why ?—Be cause exportation might make horses scarce, and thus render it difficult to mount the cavalry in case of a war ! Our neighbours forget that ex portation implies demand, and that demand is the surest way to augment supply. Again, the expor tation of wood fit for making casks is prohibited, lest the price of casks should be increased in the Wine Provinces. What is the consequence? Great part of this wood is burnt in the forges. Once more.—The Duty on Salt is from 30 to 40 times the prime cost : and the demand has decreased in the proportion of from 10 to 1. If the tax were reduced nine -tenths, the consumption would increase in two years from 1 to 10. But the Treasury cannot dispense with the tax for those two years ! Valuable salt mines have been found at rich; but they will probably not be al lowed to be wrought, lest they should injure the existing salt-works. The mania for spe culation has spread across the Channel ; one instance of it is characteristic enough. A Company has been formed at Paris to con vey individuals from thence to Rheims and back again, finding carriage, lodgincr, boarding, and a seat in the Cathedral to see the ' Coronation, —and all for 1000 francs-401. We have already spoken of the Company who are to convert Paris into a sea-port. The sum required, however, Li greater than was at first stated. It is now said to require 180 millions of francs. With a trifling allowance for expellees beyond the esti mate, we may call it Eight Millions sterling.— M. De Chabrol estimated all the goods brought up the Seine to Paris by land- or water, at 1000 tons per diem. Suppose 400,000 tons come by the new canal in a year, then in order to pay the shareholders 5 per cent. on their eight millions, the canal dues must be one pound per ton. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] There was not much fluctuation in the English Money Market yesterday, but the transactions were rather extensive in Consols for Account, at e u( 93Z- 3 4 - and at 93R. The closing price was 93-r. There was no intelligence of t some political nature t sensa tion t) affect them. In the Foreign was excited by a rumour that a revolution had broken out in the City of Mexico, and that the populace had shouted " Live Ferdinand," — although the propagators of this rumour did not state how it was received, and a speedy contra diction was given to it from what has generally been considered good authority ; it had the'effect of lowering the Scrip of the Mexican Loan to par ; towards the close of the Market it was quoted at par to 4 premium. After the most di ligent inquiry, we were unable to trace the ru mour which caused this depression to any source worthy of confidence, and the real cause for the fall appears to be the great quantity of stock held by persons who have been too sanguine of a rise, and who, being unable to pay up the instal ments, are compelled to bring it to the Market. The Scrip of the Danish Loan remains at par to one-half discount, but as it is well supported, a further fall to any extent is not expected, not withstanding the high price at which it is issued, making the Five per Cent. Loan, which was the other day at 1011, equal now to 125, if it were to remain in the market. The Private Letters from Paris state, that the Law for the conversion of the Rentes will not pass the Peers without se veral amendments, and consequently that there is very little business done in the new Stock in anti cipation. The last, bargains reported in anticipa tion were at 80 for the stock, upon its first ap pearance, without reference to any modification may be made in the law in the Chamber of Peers, and on Saturday, one sale to the amount of 750,000 francs, was made at 85, supposing the law to pass without amendment. From the high price at which this bargain was ef fected, it was considered fictitious, notwith standing the great respectability of the par ties. In the Share Market our fluctuations to-day were hardly worthy of notice. The Pearl and Coral keep their price, owing to the means which have been adopted to support them ; but as a proof that the Jobbers consider this price purely fictitious, offers are made to sell Shares, for the end of .July, at just half the premium which they now bear. A new Pearl and Coral Fishery is announced, in opposition, as it is supposed, and the Shares are expected to be speedily in the market. At present the new Companies, in which business is doing by anticipation, are the Borneo and the Egyptian Trading. If one may judge by a list of Directors, the former of these will also excite a rage among the Jobbers. The mere Premium Hunters, however, are very careful now how they commit themselves. FlRE.—Yesterday morning, at half past three o'clock, a fire broke out in the melting-house of Mr. ItUFE, tallow-chandler, Upper Ra thbotte place. It raged with great fury, and soon com municated to the dwelling-house, which w as to tally consumed, and the houses of Mr. )1111, pawnbroker, an d o f Mrs. Smith, dress - mak er, adjoining, were much damaged, before it #vas extinguished. The Committee appointed by the Swedish Government, to arrange the working of the coal mines in Scania, have created a joint capital of 200,000 rix dollars, by a means•of 4,000 shares 5OO dollars each. THE ARMY. (CIRCULAR MEMORANDUM.) HORSE GUARDS, MARCH 25, 1825. His Majesty's Government having decided on an augmenta tion to the Infantry of the Army, his Royal Highness the Com mander-in-Chief has been pleased to direct that the following revision of the existing establishment and distribution of its force shall take place accordingly. Each Battalion of Infantry in the United Kingdom, as well as all those on Foreign stations (the East Indies excepted) to consist of Six service Companies, at 86 rank and file 516 1 And four depot Companies, at 56 rank and file 224 740 The depots of such regiments as are serving at home, to con tinue united with their respective battalions.

Regiments serving in the East Indies to continue in their present Establishment ; those in future proceeding to India, to be augmented to the Indian Establishment of eleven companies and to carry with them their Depots, leaving only the usual establishment of a Recruiting Company in this country. The Establishment of the Service Battalion, and the Depot Companies, to be as follows : Six Service Companies of 86 rank and file each-1 Colonel, 1 Lieutenant-Colonel, 1 Major, 6 Captains, 8 Lieutenants, 4 Ensigns, 1 Paymaster, 1 Adjutant, I Quartermaster, 1 Sur geon, 1 Assistant-Surgeon, 1 Serjeant-Major, 1 Quartermaster- Serjeant, 1 Paymaster - Serjeant , I Armourer-Serjeant, 1 School master-Serjeant, I Hospital-Serjeant, 6 Colour-Serjeants, 18 Serjeants, 1 Drum-Major, 9 Drummers and Fifers, 24 Corpo rals, and 492 Privates.

The Provisional Battalions formed by the depots of Regi ments on foreign stations (the East Indies excepted), to be em. bodied in the proportion of three depots, or twelve Companies to each Battalion, as nearly as possible, according to the sta tions where the Battalions are serving. The Staff for the Provisional Battalions so formed to consist as follows :-1 Surgeon, 1 Assistant-Surgeon, 1 Acting-Adju tant, 1 Acting Quarter-Master, I Acting Serjeant-Major, 1 Acting Quarter-Master Serjeant, 1 Acting Pay-Master Ser jeant, 1 Acting Hospital Serjeant, 1 Acting Armourer Ser jeant, 1 Acting School-Master Serjeant, 1 Acting Drum- Major. The mode to be adopted for the payment of these Battalions, and the respective depots of which they are composed, will be the subject of a future arrangement. The Commander-in-Chief has been further pleased to ap prove of the following places as the Head-quarters for the depots of Regiments on Foreign Service, till further orders:— Foreign Stations. Head Quarters of Depots. Ceylon - Chatham and Sheerness. Mauritius - Landguard Fort Harwich. New South `Vales - Cape of Good Hope Weedon. Gibraltar - - Plymouth.

The East India Regimental Depot Companies to be also in the Isle of Night until further orders. Whenever a regiment is ordered on foreign service, its depot to be separated from it, and embodied in the Provisional Bat talion of the station to which it proceeds, in exchange for thi.t of the Battalion it may relieve. Battalions abroad to be directed to send home their Supernu meraries of each rank, to assist in forming the depots, taking care not to reduce the effective rank and file fit for duty below M 6. They will select the non-commissioned officers most fit for the duties of the depot, and fill their places by promotion in the battalion. The same arrangements to be made by Commanding Offi cers of regiments at home, the depots of which will be at once nominally formed at the respective head-quarters, although they may continue attached to the regiments, as forming a battalion of ten companies. All Officers attached to depots by transfer, promotion, or from 11.1 f-pay, to repair at once to the depot stations, or within eight weeks after appointment. The distribution of Officers to battalions and depots, after the latter shall have been established, to be made by the Com manding-Officers; subject to the approbation of the Com mander-in-Chief. Officers obtaining leave of absence, on account of their health requiring a change of climate, to join the depot on their arrival in this country (unless specially dispensed with by the Com mander-in-Chief), and to be replaced by Officers from that establishment. Officers exchanging from one regiment to another, to take the place of the Officers with whom they exchange, whether in the battalion or in the depot, and to take the same tour of duty with either, except dispensed with by the Commander-in-Chief. Officers belonging to regiments which have recently embarked for foreign service, and who have obtained leave to remain at home, to repair at once to the depot, and he the first on the list for embarkation, to replace such Officers as may come home on sick or other leave, or with invalids. All Ensigns, on their first appointment, to join the depots. The Commander-in-Chief having deemed it desirable to sus pend, for the present, the appointment of Officers to the depots of the corps named in the margin*, his Royal Highness has been pleased to direct that until these appointments take place, the recruits of the depots thus circumstanced, shall be assisted and formed by the body of the regiments to which they are at tached. By command of his Royal Highness the Commander-in- Chief. HENRY TORRENS Adj.-Gen. * Bth, 17th, 24tn, 26th, 34th, 53d, 58th, 60th, Ist. Sat., 61st, 62d, 65th, 72d, 73d, and 74th foot. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, MARCH 30. THE LATE HENRY FAUNTLEROY. IN THE MATTER OF MARSH, STRACEY, AND CO. BANKRUPTS. Mr. HortNE wished to know whether his Lordship would have the goodness to appoint a day to hear this petition. His LORDSHIP—Any day you please ; Tuesday week will be the first seal. Mr. HonsE—Then the day after the seal, if your Lordship pleases. His LORDSHIP—Is there any objection to taking it on the day before the seal ? I Ir. HoItNE—I can't speak for the Counsel on the other side, but, for myself, if your Lordship should order it to come on then, I shall feel it my duty to be here. 111 r. HEALD—I am on the other side, and I shall feel bound to attend to any step that will facilitate the business of the Court; the only difficulty I feel is, whether the Counsel ought to attend, so as to cause your Lordship to lose one day in the vacation. His Lonnsitip—Mr. Heald, you may feel perfectly easy on that point, because I can assure you the Chancellor has no vacation except the long vacation. If you will let me know that both sides will be ready on Monday, I shall be here. I ought to know whether you will be here or not, because I have come ' here on many days when no Counsel attended, although I don't complain of that. Mr. HoRNE—It would be better if your Lordship could fix it now, because I don't see bow Counsel are to meet in the vacation for the purpose of agreeing whether they will be here or not. Mr. HEALD—I understand Mr. Horne appears for the peti tioners, and if he applies to have a petition advanced, 1, on the part of the respondents, will be ready at any time. His Loßpsnir—Then let it stand for Monday next. The petition is the petition of the two executors of Sir Thos. Priscoe (two s tock-brokers), whose stock was fraudulently sold out by the late Henry Fauntleroy ; and the prayer is, for leave to prove against the joint estate of 'Messrs. Marsh and Co. It is, in truth, the proceeding of the Bank of England ; and the effect of the Court's granting the prayer will be, that the Bank will replace all the stock which was fraudulently sold out, and then receive a dividend under the bankruptcy. We understand, from a quarter on which we think we can place great reliance, that Lord HOWICK, son of Earl GREY, will come forward as a candidate, to represent the County of Northumberland in Parliament, whenever an elec tion takes place. It is added, that he will have the support of many of the leading Whig families.—( Tyne Mercury, March 290. THE TURF IN RUSSIA.---A match which has excited a very great interest, was lately made at St. Peters burgh, between an English and a Cossack horse, to run 80 versts (about 54 mil es !) for 25,000 rubles (about 90 0 guineas), feather Weights. The iTfiports of the United States last year amounted to .about•lB millions of our money, sod exports to about 17 millions British. On the sth January the French. Discnvery Ship La Coquille, Captain DUPERITEY, arrived at St. Helena, on her return to France. THE CASE OF PALMER. MANSION-HOUSE.—The following letter was received by Mr. HOBLER yesterday, on the subject of Mr. SHERIDAN'S payment of the theatrical receipts for 'the benefit of the family of Mr. JOHN PALMER : " SIR-1 beg leave to make every apology in my power for trespassing on your valuable time, but, as I see by The Times newspaper of yesterday, my assertion relative to Mr. Sheridan is contradicted, I beg leave to state the following facts :—The money paid at the doors fbr admission was most certainly re ceived by the family, as stated by Mr, Dunn ; but the ticket money, including presents (one from the present Countess of Derby, for fifty pounds), was received by Mr. Fos brook, who is still living, and resides within a few doors of the 'White Swan, Kennington Common, and paid by him into the hands of Mr. Sheridan. I beg leave to state fur ther, that Mr. Sheridan, a few days previous to his death, ac knowledged the debt in the presence of my sister Isabclla,who. as well as my sister Lucretia, never received the money, and sent his son, who is still living, into the drawing-room of No. 14, Saville-row, Burlington-gardens, to say it should be paid,' which I assure you, Sir, never was the case. Sh ort l y a f ter M r . Sheridan's death, an advertisement appeared in the paper call ing on all persons having any claim on the deceased, to make known the same to Mr. Burgess, attorney, Curzon-street, May fair. My claim was immediately drawn out by an attorney, and sent in, and was not for a moment disputed. I trust, Sir that you will excuse my taking the present liberty, but should ill deserve the kindness shown me, had I commenced my melancholy tale with a falsehood. I have inclosed an ac count of the manner in which I have laid out the money his Lordship was kind enough to give me; and as it is a well known fact that my sister Isabella has been through life a mother to me, I trust I have not exceeded your wishes in ren dering her a little assistance.—With the most grateful thanks for your kindness, I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient humble servant, EDWARD THURLOWE PALMER." The Lord Mayor stated that he received a note from Mr• Fawcett, the stage manager of Covent-garden Theatre, almost immediately after the humane notice of the case of Mr. Palmer appeared in the public prints. His Lordship thought that the contents of the letter merited the highest commendation. By means of the contribution alluded to in it, anti that which hod been received from Drury-lane Theatre, together with some donations from a few charitable individuals who admired the father and pitied the son, it would he probable that the object. of the charity would be enabl e d to get i nto some decent way o f supporting himself and his wile. His Lordship added, that he observed from the items which were inclosed in Mr. Palmer's letter, that the first' debt discharged by him was that to his landlady.—Mr. Fawcett's letter was as follows: " MY LORD _Observing your humane interference in be half of Mr. Palmer (son of the late Mr. J. Palmer, of Drury lane Theatre), I beg to acquaint your Lordship, that by Act of Parliament, Covent-Garden Theatrical Fund is prevented from granting annuities to any but those who have subscribed and belong to it.
