On the 2d inst., the French Consul, and an agent of the French Government, who has been some time in Lis bon, had an interview with the Foreign Minister,in the course of which they held language highly unplea suit to MIGUEL'S representative. The Consul de clared that his Government would DOlonger be trifled with, and that MIGUEL must comply with his de mands, or prepare for measures which he would no t ft:id so courteous as the demands themselves had been. MIGUEL'S squadron was nearly equipped, but, on examination, many of the ships were found to be still unseaworthy, and it was thought advisable to 'delay their departure. These accounts state that lifty•six constitutionalists, who had been long con fined in the fortress of Almeida, for politics] offences, had made their escape; but some of them had been retaken, and they would, it was feared, have their lives taken as a punishment for their attempt to re gain their liberty. Money was very scarce in Lis bon, and the certificates of the forced loan u ere nu saleable at a discount of 70 per cent. A private agent, supposed to be in the pay of the Portuguese Regency, had been betrayed to the Government, but, contrary to expectation, no attempt had been made to molest him, from which it was inferred by some persons that he wus deeper in the interest of the Miguelites than of ath PEDRO. We have received a file of the Oporto papers to the 2d instant. It is chiefly filled with official de crees and extracts from the foreign papers. One of the decrees is for the reorganization of the army, which is to be divided into three bodies, under the command of the Duke of TERCEIRA, General SAL DANIIA, and General STUBBS, Marshal SOLIGNAC being Commander-in-Chief. It does not appear that Sir JOHN MILLEY DOYLE is appointed to any active command; but he is in high favour with Don PEDRO, to whom he is Aide-de-camp, and whom he accompanies in all his daily rounds. One of the numbers of the Chronica contains a decree for the formation of two new regiments, each nearly 2,000 strong, to be called the Queen's Light Infantry, and in another number is a repetition of a paragraph, copied from the Lisbon Gazette into the Madrid Gazette, and in wh i ch it is stated that 50 Englishmen and 12 Frenchmen had deserted in a body ftom the constitutional army, and that desertion was frequent. The Chronica declares that these are all fables ; but our private letters inform us that a great many English have deserted on account of not having received their ar rears of pay. It is added, however, that these deserters were all men of the lowest descrip tion, whose conduct during their stay in Oporto had been turbulent and criminal in a high degree. Their example had not been followed by any of the Englishmen who had been sent out by respectable agents. These letters add, that the situation of the Constitutionalists in Oporto had become dif_ ficult and painful, chiefly owing to the scarcity of fresh provisions. Many of the soldiers were suf fering from the continual rations of salt fish, and the cholera had been rife among then; but the Migue• lites were little better off. Their provisions were becoming scarce, and several horses had died from want of forage. The Royalist Volunteers who were so zealous in the cause of Don MIGUEL, whilst there was any thing to steal from the inhabitants, had deserted in immense numbers to their houses, now that the system of plunder is at an end ; and nothing but the knowledge of the distressed condition of the Constitutionalists in Oporto has prevented the Mi guelite regular troops from deserting also. They, however, must either join Don PEDRO or remain where they are; for in their case desertion, unless to-a secure : ' place of refuge, would be followed by death. On the. 18th of January the Visconde de SANTA MARTHA, wrote to the Foreign Consul in Lis bon, that he would not allow the vessels even of neutrals to go out of the river without a certificate from the Consul, that it has not on board any troops, persons, effects, cargo, or correspondence of the rebels, as he calls the adherents of Dan Pedro. We understand that about five hundred men, many of whom are old soldiers, and of excellent character, being part of the levy contracted for by Colonel COTTER, are about to leave this country for Oporto, under the immediate orders of Major LAWSON, who was for some time in the Constitu tional service, but who quitted it on account of a disagreement with Colonel HODGES. It is expected that by the time when this division will arrive in Oporto, there will be another reinforce ment of more than two thousand men from France, so that Marshal SOLIGNAC will be in a con dition to take more active measures than he has hitherto done. This second reinforcement will be the more valuable to the Constitutionalists, as the pay of the French is the same as that of the Por• tuguese, whereas, the pay of the English is much higher ; and, with few exceptions, the English have refuted to be placed on the same footing as the Portuguese. The following was posted at the North and South American Coffee-house this morning : FALMOUTH, FEB. 13. I beg to inform you that the Skylark packet arrived last night with a freight of one hundred thousand dollars, on mer chants' and on passengers' account. The news brought by her is, that at Puebla General Bustemente entered into an armis• tiCe with Santa Anna, which was laid before the Chambers in Mexico, who did not agree with Bustamente, denouncing him as a traitor, and took the command from him of the army. Bus tarnente joined Santa Anna at Puebla, and with Pedraza marched on Mexico, which they entered on the 3rd January, amidst the great enthusiasm of the inhabitants. The arrival of money was hourly expected from the Interior. It is ex pected the Thais will come home full of money, being the next packet. The elec'ions tbr a President will take place in April. There is no truth in the report of Mr. O'Cos- NELL's set out for I►eland. The French Papers of Saturday contain little of novelty or interest. As will be seen in another co lumn, the itat de siege bill had not passed the Chamber of Peers. The opposition papers are doing all they can to have it thrown out, but the public display little or no feeling upon either side of the question. We direct attention to a letter which will be found in another column, under the head, " Real Property and Income Tax." We have all along said that a graduated Property Tax is the fairest impost that can be levied. As the year advances, the stream of publications which has for some time issued from the press on the subject of the Bank Charter and the Currency, becomes stronger every week, and our table is now covered with plans and schemes, each in the fancy of their authors, expounding the only true principle by which the great question can be solved. That to which we at present wish to call the attention of our readers, is entitled " An Impartial Inquiry into the Blink Question, by a Merchant." Upwarda of half of this pamphlet is occupied in the very super fluous task of exposing the faultiness- of the system pursued by the Bank of England. The writer then proceeds to advocate perfect freedom of issue, and he has so well depicted the practical working of such freedom that we must, for the benefit of those who think there is no salvation for the country without Bank of England monopoly, quote his own words " Thus the country banker has no alternative left, but to go the Bank of England fcr gold; whereas, were it, monopoly at an end. and a score of banks issuing notes, the case would be different. The country banker would in the latter case I , e paid in the notes of the London—or the city of London—or the Middlesex—or the Gitomercial— or some other bank, or banks. And a, such banks would req•iire to keep by them a certain supply of gold, in like manner as the sank of England, he would be supplied by those whose notes he might receive, just as he now is by the latter alone ; and the rcs . )onsibility of finding gold would thereby be confined to those who might choose, by issuing mates, to incur the risk. _ " But, say tie Directors, these banks would still come to us for gold. And we ask why, any more than the Bank of England, go to them ? For neither cingo to the other, without having in hand notes to demand with, or balances due; and it therefore depends upon themselves how they a rm their antagonists, by incur ring responsiliilities which they are not prepared to meet. The Bank of Eng• land, by getting posse*sion of notes of other banks, can run to them for gold, as they may in turn go to the Bank ; but neither tl,e one nor the other would have a whit more responsibility on their shoulders, than they might voluntarily incur." The reply to the objections of the monopolists is equally plain and s►mple, and very nearly in the words we have ourselves used. lie says, " It is, however, contend d, by the advocates of mo nopoly, that a free trade in banking would lead to an ex cess of paper, from the rivalry that would exist to do busi ness ; but why men of sense, experience, and property, should act so differently in London from what they do in Glasgow and Edinburgh, remains to lie explained ; or why they should act so recklessly with their property as bankers, to what they do as brewers, bakers, or butchers, all of which are open to competition, is not shown. We see a vast number of insurance offices striving for business ; yet we do not find that they ruin each other to obtain such ; and we therefore cannot see why it should be sup• posed, that the same description of Directors, nay, per haps, the very same individuals, should hazard their pro perty by taking a bad bill, and yet refuse a doubtful policy, or an inadequate premium." The chief feature of interest, however, in the pamphlet, is a proposition for the establishment of a National Bank, for the issue of national notes to a limited extent. If the extent of the issue can be limited, we should not have the slightest objection to the " Merchant's" plan, for all banks being left at freedom, to do what they may think fir, no practical inconvenience would arise from the alternate plenty and scarcity of one particular kind of note. The writer proposes that the Government should become its own banker, and should issue notes to the amount of ten millions, being the average of the quarterly payments into the Exche., quer, and of dividends paid. Like the notes pro posed by Mr. POULETT SCROPE to be issued by his National Bank, they are not to be payable on demand, but are to be receivable for all Government taxes, which the author thinks will, joined with their limited amount, prevent them falling to a discount. We quite agree with him that it would, and if any plan could be devised which would prevent the possibility of the amount issued, being, upon some pressure of circumstances, exceeded. We have before argued that as history presents us with no instance of such a power being possessed by a Government without its being ulti mately abused, we o►►ght not to think human nature so variable as to suppose our own Ministers would not yield to the same kind of pressure as that to which all Ministers who have preceded them have yielded. Besides, the object proposed to be obtained by the writer is of such trifling importance compared with the risk of issuing national notes, representing no value, that it is not worth contending for. In deed, we doubt whether the machinery that it would be necessary to establish to carry h:s plan into effect, would not run away with all the profit; at any rate it is certain no national notes could be issued so cheaply as those of private individuals. This brings us to -the objection we have in principle to any thing like a trading in Government but as we not long since argued that question at some length, we shall not now enter upon it. We will only observe, that we are surprised that the writer, who evidently feels the strength of the principle of perfect freedom, should have been wil ling to depart from it to the extent he pro fesses himself. His plan, however, is essentially different from, and much better than, that of Mr. POULETT SCROPE. He proposes the issue of national paper; but he does not, like Mr. SCROPE, propose that the issuers should take upon them selves the task of in some degree regulatin g the currency. He proposes that the Government should issue notes, but he does not propose that all other parties should be prevented from doing so. So far we heartily concur in what he says, and hope to see his liberal ideas carried into effect, without the restraint of a partial monopoly. OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.) The Court was occupied the whole of the morning with the trial of Coney and Smith, for the extensive burglary at Bart lett's-building's, the particulars of which so Rally appeared in the papers last week on their being examined at the Mansion_ house. The trial was not over whets our reporter left, and wag likely to occupy the greater part of the day. Lord KINNAIRD, the seconder of the ad dress in the House of Lords, is laid up at Melton Mow bray with a broken collar .bone, occasioned by a fall from his horse. Some surprise has been expressed at the re moval of the sciffolding from the pillar at the South en trance of Carlton-place, without the statue of the late Duke of YORK, for which it is designed as a pedestal, having been first placed on the summit. For this various reasons have been assigned ; among others, that the scaf folding was t,;o weak to hear the weight of elevating the statue, which is to be of bronzed met d ; the true one, however, we are informed, is that the statue is not yet cast, and that it will be two years before it is in a state to assume its intended position. THE INVISIBLE GENTLEMAN, BY THE AUTHOR OF CHARTLEY, THE FATALIST.-" We aye fain to confess," s ays a reviewer, " that this altogether impos sible story has carried us along with greater interest than any other narrative, however possible and probable, that we have lately read. Some of the scenes are ludicrous in the extreme, hut, though verging on pantomime, are kept with great judgment on the ri g ht s id e o f the line. None but a person of genius could a c hi e v e thi s work, anti such the author of The Invisible Gentleman' decidedly i-.' THE LATE LOltD EXMOUTH.—The re mains of this lamented Nobleman were deposited in a vault in the parish church of Christow, near Chudleigh. The flags at Teignmouth on hoard the ships, and on all the flag staffs, were struck halt-mast; the shops were closed, and every demonstration made that was possible. The British ensign was used in lieu of a pall, and on the coffin was placed the flag ( . hlue at the main) which flew at the mast-head of Or, Queen Charlotte during the arduous conflict at Algiers ; the swim! his Lordship wore on that occasion, hong with crape, was also placed on the coffin. At the conclusion of the funeral service a young oak tree was planted, and named the Exmouth oak, opposite the door of the vault. MEMOIRS OF CAPTAIN SIR WILLIAM HosTE, BART., R.N.—" Captain FIosTE was a seam in of the Nelson school ; indeed, he served under the com mand of that distinguished Englishman on heard of the 4,11 Agamemnon," and was a favourite of NELSON. HOSTE was engaged in many perilous exploits, was a dash ing fellovv—' every inch a sailor,' and the present work, from the pen of Lady HARRIET HOSTE, deserves a place alongside' of SOUTHEY'S Life of Nelson.' Fhese Me moirs are highly interesting, and, in a national paint of view, important; for the example of our departed naval heroes should be rendered as prominent as possible for the emulation of future aspirants."-- Weekly Dispatch. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR and Lords SUFFIELD, WYNFORD, and GREY of Groby, sat to hear Scotch appeals to-day. MANSFIELD v. SCOTT. The further arguments in this part.heard appeal were pro ceeded with, and concluded. The Lord Chancellor and Lord Wynford gave judgment, affirming the decision of the Court of Session, without costs. Lord DOVER took the oaths and his seat. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) No cause of any general public interest had come before his Honour, the Master of the Rolls, previous to our reporter leaving, VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR took causes, ex ceptions, and further directions to-day, none of which were of the slightest interest to the public. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) THE KING v. HEMP. This was an indictment against the defendant, a sheriff's officer, for wilful and corrupt perjury. The Solicitor-General and Mr. Hutchinson conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Curwood and Mr. Platt that for the defence. It appeared that, in 1829, an execution was issued against the goods of a person named Moses Jacobs, for Excise duties, and Hemp was intrusted with the execution of the warrant. Moses Jacobs had sold - a quantity of pots to Messrs. Pellatt and Green at 84s. each, to be paid for in glass. As it was Hemp's duty to see after all the goods then in Moses Jacobs' pre mises, and to have a return made of all that were sold, lie required of Jacobs an account of those sold to Pellatt and Green, when he gave him an account in which those pots were stated to have been sold at a much lower rate, and for cash. Hemp wrote to Pellatt and Green upon the subject, and in answer was informed of the actual bargain—viz., at 845., and to be paid for in glass goods. Hemp showed the answer to Jacobs, who admitted that that was the bargain. Jacobs, however, having paid out the extent, sued Pellatt and Green for the full amount of the pots as for cash, and subpoenaed Hemp, but did not call him. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff A new trial was afterwards moved for and ob tained by Pellatt and Green, on ascertaining the facts Hemp could depose to, and Hemp swore in addition that after the first trial he said to Jacobs, " there will be a new trial," to which Jacobs added " not with out you make an affidavit." That part of the affidavit detailing the short conversation was alleged to be untrue, and formed the ground of this indictment. Upon the second trial Messrs. Pellatt and Green obtained a verdict. The pro. secutor, Henry Jacobs, and Lewis Jacobs, swore that no such conversation took place. For the defence Mr. A. Pellatt was called, but several ques tions put to him were rejected; he was asked whether lie would believe Moses Jacobs on his oath from what he knew of his general character; he replied that he knew very little of Moses Jacobs, more than as it was connected with this dispute; he, however, stated that Moses Jacobs had not made such a bargain with him as selling the pots for cash. Mr. Platt proposed to ask whether the witness had ever heard Moses Jacobs had committed perjury. The question was ob jected to and allowed, but his Lordship took a note of it. Mr. James Burchell, Under Sheriff of Middlesex, Mr. Thos. Briggs, Mr. John Clark, and Mr. Thomas Wood, who had all been Under Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, and some other gentlemen, gave the defendant a most exemplary character, for honesty and for truth, and that they believed him to be incapable of telling a falsehood, much less swearing to one. The Jury prevented the necessity of calling further wit. nesses, and, expressing themselves satisfied of the defendant's innocence, acquitted him. His LORDSHIP expressed his entire concurrence in the verdict. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) USANE r. MOORE. Mr. Sergeant WILDE stated that this was an action brought by a saddler in Soho, against another saddler, under the follow ing circumstances :—The defendant having obtained an order from Don Pedro for a certain number of saddles, bridles, &c., employed the plaintiff to make them up as soon as possible, he (the defendant) supplying the materials. He delayed, however, furnishing the materials till the last moment, when Usane was in consequence obliged to employ extra hands in order to get them done in time. They were taken home, and no objection made to the workmanship, till the bill, amounting to 801., was delivered in. Then Moore complained of the work, and said that he had been obliged to send down some of his own men to Plymouth to overhaul them before they were shipped for Portugal, and, therefore, must deduct the expense occasioned by that journey from the bill. The Learned Counsel then called several witnesses, who proved that the work was done as well as it could be, consider ing the time Usane was limited to, and also that the charges wore fair and reasonable. The case was proceeding when our reporter left the Court. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

We have arrivals this morning from several parts of the con tinent, South America, the Peninsula, Cape of Good Hope, and Mauritius. The accounts from Brussels state that great excitement prevails there and at Antwerp, respecting the new Dutch Tariff on vessels entering the Scheldt. At Paris they are debating on local affairs, but the Dutch Tariff has caused great anxiety to M. Broglie, who has had constant conferences with the Minister of the Marine, the Minister of War, and the King, on the subject. From Vera Cruz we learn, by the packet, which left Jan. 11, that Santa Anna and Bustamente had en tered Mexico with their armies, and were well received by the inhabitants, and that the pacification of that Republic would soon be effected. The information from Portugal by the Lisbon snail is by no means favourable to the cause of Don Pedro, some desertions and mutiny having taken place, both in the army and navy. Since the above was writen, the Rhadamanthus has arrived from Lisbon, sailed on the 9th of February, and touched at Oporto on the 11th.- The accounts she brings have not as yet transpired. Accounts from Cortu, of the 22diult. state that the Bavarian expedition had sailed on that day for Napoli, with the English frigate Madagascar, having on board the King of Greece. THE FUNDS. According to all appearances the negotiations pending with Holland have received some check, and it is supposed that the interference of the Russian Cabinet has been the cause. Should this impediment last long with the interruption of the commerce of the Scheldt, we have no doubt that France and England will be forced to capture Flushing. Consols opened this morning at the price they lett off on Saturday, 87 % •;y for the account. HALF-PAST ONE. Since the early part of the day, the Funds have become rather heavy, owing to its being known that Mr. O'Connell was going oft' for Ireland ; and it is greatly feared that his presence there will cause much agitation before Earl Grey's Bill passes into a law. The procrastinated negotiations with his Dutch Majesty hang heavy on the market, and it is the general opinion that if these negotiations do not terminate soon, France and England will force the mouth of the Scheldt. Consols, which were 87N for the Account, have receded to 87 % li • All Securities in the Foreign Market are also heavy It is stated, although the Dutch mails have not arrived, that the Dutch Funds come much the same as by the last accounts. The accounts from Mexico of the produce of the mines are favourable. THREE O'CLOCK Consols for the Account 87% !,Y. The Society for Improving the Condition of Factory Children intend, we are glad to see, to have a General meeting on Saturday, the 23d inst., at the City of London (Tavern.

Among the company were Lord Farnborough, Lord Bexley, Sir Robert Fitz Wygram, Sir Robert Inglis, &c. Several of the Foreign Ministers had a conference with Viscount Palmerston, on Saturday night. Despatches from Colonel Arthur, the Lieutenant-Governor of Van Diemen's Land, were received at the Colonial-office yesterday. A deputation, including Mr. James Oswald, M.P., Mr. Murray, and Lord Lynedoch, had an interview with Viscount Althorp, on Saturday, at the Treasury.

A meeting of several of the Cabinet Ministers was held on Saturday, at the Treasury. Viscount Goderich, Lord Althorp, the Duke of Richmond, Lord Holland, and Lord John Russell, were present.

The Countess Grey arrived in town on Wednesday night, from the seat of Lord Durham, Lambton-castle, Durham. The Lord Chancellor and Viscount Melbourne had inter views with Earl Grey on Thursday. THE REHEARSAL OF " FAUST." The Italian Opera really opens to-night. We allowed our selves to be attracted to the rehearsal, last night, of the new ballet of Faust; and were taken by surprise at finding it only en deshabille. However, the novelty was the greater ; and the actual scene presented such a contrast to that which we had pictured to ourselves, that it was very amusing. Let the un initiated into the mysteries of the stage business fancy the Opera boards covered with a motley group of men and women, with a sprinkling of boys and girls, looking like the crowd as. sembled at the doors of a theatre rather than the actors and ac tresses. In one corner, a decent-looking girl, in a bonnet and cloak, is whirling round on one toe, waving the other leg in midair the while. In another, a schoolboy is aping an imp's tricks, while a group of his fellows are criticising his perform ance. On one side, a few chairs are occupied by a party of ladies and gentlemen, chatting listlessly. In front, a fantoc cini figure, wearing spectacles, is darting to and fro, now and then stamping like a demon demented, and flourishing a shi lelah with the ardour of one of the boys of Donnybrook—alter nately screaming and hissing, while the orchestra below regard his every movement with awful attention. Suddenly a voice is heard, like Punch's summons. The crowd dispart, and the stage is cleared. A gentlemanly-looking personage, in a frock coat, moves gracefully forward, leading a lady in a velvet pe lisse—they are ALBERT and MONTESSU. We forget the coat and pelisse, and see only the two graceful forms that move 13 by one impulse to the music, with inflections, blending into one continuous but varied series of movements. On a sudden the lady stops, and with a laugh makes an exclamation, which arrests the march of the music, and produces a consultation. The dance then proceeds. Presently a short, quiet.looking man, dressed in black, advances, and gesticulates mysteriously, to the evi. dent alarm of the genteel personage in the frock coat ; then a pale girl, with parted hair, and in a neat stuff dress, joins them in evident agitation ; and the partic quarree, after some gesti culating, join in a graceful dance ; which meets with applause from the crowd on the stage and a few cloaked persons scat tered about the pit, or ensconced in a box here and there. The little man in spectacles then stamps his foot, and the voice of Punchinello is heard calling out " Marche I" the person from whom it proceeds thumping the floor with a huge stick. The band obey ; and on the left the motley crowd assume a military shape, beating time with regular steps, and advance slowly with great earnestness, describing sundry figures round and about the stage. Short and tall, fat and slender, spruce and shabby, young and old, cloaked and coated, some with sticks, some with umbrellas, girls and matrons, in silks and stuffs, shawls and cloaks, with boys and girls, form the procession, which is accompanied by a soldier or two and a couple of drums. The fantoccini figure nods and stamps with calmness for a while; but anon he grows furious, rushes up to adelinquent drummer, snatches a drumstick, and beats the tattoo in proper time. This over, a number of shopmen and clerks rush for. ward, kicking up their heels and swinging their arms; and a flock of milliners' apprentices cross the stage with similar ges. tures, a few little urchins hopping in between. Presently they form a quadrille ; then break Into a waltz, and . 411 splay a knowledge of the art of dancing ; till at last the boas and veils go whisking round in company with the coat-skirts, and hats and bonnets seem giddy with the rapid motion. The spell is dissolved. A fat man, like a parish beadle out of office, comes forward, and calls out to the orchestra, " To-morrow morning, at half past nine, for the Opera, gentlemen." The rehearsal is ended. Cloaks and coats are donned, hands shaken, parting smiles and nods exchanged ; a scene-shifter comes forward to remove the chairs and table, and the curious visiters in the pit and boxes vacate their seats.—Spectator. THE MARKETS.-(TI-HS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. In consequence of the boisterous state of the weather las week our arrivals were short. This morning there is a smal fresh supply of Grain, and a moderate return of Flour. The Wheat trade was not very brisk, but last Monday's prices werel rather exceeded. In Barley, Beans, and Pease, no alteration. Oats were in more demand, and firmly maintained their prices. Flour continues dull at last quotations. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP.

Mr. KEAN took him ippi- Mews ll bt•nefit at the Park Theatre, New York, on Monday tl e 14th of January. After the performance he delivered a frrewell address to the audience, who gave ample re.ti rnony of their sense of his talents, and best wi hes for Ha future success. The American critic, and, whit is still setter evidence, the American audiences, who have wit oe.re d Mr. Keases performance of his father's principal ohsracters, unite in attributing to him much of his father's power. They say that he evidently inherits his father's coke and action and manner, and yet all so naturally that nothing like imitation can be detected. They ascribe to 'rrta ~t ri n g e i i n v ,.d s a g r n y t i o u s p , a a c nd eh i s m ay o that n tim more level w ex perience ithe is ti rs t all of performers JOHN FAWCETT, Esq., late of Covent-Glr.len Theatre, ,nd who has for many years peen so importantly and toe fully concerned in the management of the Ti•eatrical Fund, was on Saturday elected an Honorary Member of the Garrick Club. The Duke of DEVONSHIR E has granted a licerte to [Aeolus . , the lessee of Covent-Garden, to perform Sacted Dramas at that theatre during Lent, in aid Of which the indefatigable Manager has engaged all the eminent vocal talent that he could procure at each of the Metropolitan Theatres (including Mrs Woon,) . and those from the Opera House likewise. All the sublime Oratorios and Sacred Dramas, from the days of HANDEL until the pres-nt one, will alternately be given, .aided by appropriate .cenery, dresses, arid decoration.. These musical solemn nit es will commence on Wednesday. The Italian orra, and new French ballet at the King's Theatre attracted a brilliant audience on Saturday even ing. The boxes, the stalls, and the pit, were crowded at the commencement. We observed the Duke of I3enroan, Lord UXBRIDGE, the Marquis of CLA N RICA RDE, Lord SEFTON, the Duke of GLOUCESTER, Lord AYLESIORD, and Lord LOWTH ER, among the persons of rank in their respective boxes. Lord RoxERT GaosveNots and hie Lady, and Lord SA LTOUN, occupied places in the stalls. PLA NCH lI'S new play, in five acts, is in reheartql ttf Covent-Garden, where the most sanguine expectatNioe are entertained of its success. In addition to all the prin. cipal actors, who are tngaged in the drama, PLA NCII E has written a character f r young KEA N, exceedingly gratifying to the wishes of this excellent young man, who, we have heard, is greatly improved as an actor. The Adelphi Theatre continues its attraction, far be yond any previous season. MATHEWS and YATES, the proprietors of this sung little house, justly merit the pa tronage they receive, from the inexhaustible variety of their dramas and the clever actors they engage for the amusement of the town. The Bravo, Twenty Thousand Pound, or London Lore, and Don Quixotic, with the aid of YATES-himself a host—his pretty Wife, JOHN REEVE, BUCK STON E l Mr.. FrrztrawAiat and Mrs, HONEY, fill the Theatre every night. Don Juan cannot he played at Drury-lane either on Tuesdays or Saturdays for the present, in consequence of Dr Mntic's engagement at the Opera House on those nights. - The new Ballet of The Sleeping Beauty will, in future, be played between the hours of 9 and I I, at Drury• lane, to insure both first and second price. FREDERICK YATES, of the Adelphi, after the manner of his partner and friend, CHARLES MATHEWS, intends on the Wednesdays and Faidays during Lent, to present in that Theatre an entirely new series of Views of Himself and Others. This entertainment is spoken of as a dc• lightful Olio, consisting of songs, imitations, and persona • rions of the most humorous and varied description, Mr. BEAZLEY is, we uadersand, the author of this whimsical and amusing vehicle. The Memorial sent in by the Winter Theatres, after some delay, has been attended with the result anticipated. Toe Lord Chamberlain, through the proper officer, has transmitted a'very courteous reply-to the Proprietors, in which it is stated, we believe, that the subject had been well considered before the information was sent to Mr. Mortals and Mr. ARNOLD that their licenses would he extended ; and that the Memorial does not contain a single objection which had not been duly weighed before it was received.— Observer. The Duke of RICHMOND gave grand Par liamentary dinners on S iturday and yewerchy, at his house, in Cavendish•square. Among the company at the first were the Marquis of SLIGO, Lord CHARLES Rus- SILL.

Earl GREY, according to the report of his personal friends, will take a very determined position in the House of Lords, when the Irish Church Bill is sent up, as it will b ,by a vast majority of the Commons. Their Lordships, of course, heartily hate the measure ; if, how ever, they attempt to prac ice on this occasion the tactics by which they obstructed the Reform Bill last year, the Premier wilat once resign.—Spectator. The Tribune! de Premiere Instance in Paris was occupied on Thursday with an action brought by the Prince de \VIED-NEUWIED against the ex-King CHARLES X., for the recovery of the sum of 292,355fr5. The .remand originated from a transaction that took place at Coblentz at the time of the first revolution. As no Counsel appeared in behalf of CHARLES X. the cane was .put off for a week.
