EDITOR—You will, no doubt, have ob served in The Times (alias Queen's Gazette) of yesterday, under the head " Drury-Lane Theatre," that they are very angry with Mr. ELLIsToN for having announced that the Play, on Tuesday, was " by special desire of her MA JESTY," instead of " by command of her MA JESTY," as they state it is the usual and becom ing form to announce it, when a King or Queen orders a Play.—As the Drury-Lane Performers style themselves His MAJESTY'S Servants, when the KING orders a Play it is proper that it should be mentioned as by His MAJESTY'S command ; and, in my opinion, " by special desire of HER MAJESTY" is perfectly correct. But I wish to ask Tlw Times, when a Performance at either of the Patent Theatres was announced by command of any Queen in this country, as they say is the usual mode; certainly not since Queen ANNE'S time—and then there was no King as at present. I have no knowledge of Mr. ELLISTON, except as a public character, who has undertaken a very uncertain and extensive concern for the amuse ment of the public, and in which I hope he will meet with the success he deserves. I urn, your London, July 12. CONSTANT READER. KING and CONSTITUTIO N C1.1313.—1t has been known for some time, that this respectable body of men intend to dine together on the approach ing festival.—Upon this auspicious occasion, the Club has acted upon a suggestion we offered on a former occasion, by an invitation to as many gentlemen as may be disposed to join them at dinner and in the procession, though not initiated into their body. The dinner, we understand, will be held in a temporary pavilion, on the site of the intended new assembly rooms, adjoining the Albion Hotel, towards the park —an exqui sitely delightful situation,—(Chester Courant, Jul 10.) FOR THE SUN. NATIONAL PROSPERITY.—'No. IV.) MR. EDITOR,—From the period when Mr. OWEN first publicly addressed the inhabitants of this Metropolis, he and his plans, until very lately, have been but little heard of. That the latter were founded in false views of human na ture, and were wholly inconsistent with the true principles of Political Economy, was an opinion so generally prevalent, that one found it very difficult to induce sensible men to endure even the mention of a theory which was considered as nearly related to the Rosicrucian mysteries. I understand, indeed, that under the impression that the value of Mr. 0 wen's publications had reached that state of declension, when it is usual to ascertain it by the pound weight, a large quantity of them had actually been disposed of as waste paper.* labours, however, were not wholly thrown away ;—they set some persons a thinking, and although, like myself, they were deterred by the incredulity of their neighbours from speaking much upon the subject, they nevertheless che rished a hope that the distinguished and perse %ering Philanthropist, who had so courageously challenged inquiry, and so confidently predicted the early triumph of his cause, would again come forward, fortified by the result of further expe rience, and by more elaborate reasonings, to re deem the pledge which he had given. Towards the close of the last summer an indi vidual attempted to rouse attention to the plans of Mr. Owen, by announcing that he was about to deliver a Course of Lectures explanatory of their nature and tendency, part of which course would be devoted to the consideration of the several objections which had been urged against those plans. I had the curiosity to hear him ; but although the Lecturer treated his subject with becoming gravity, and really displayed much ability and judgment, he was so thinly at tended that he deemed it prudent to abandon his design, and did not proceed beyond his intro ductory discourse. The person alluded to, however, adopted another, and perhaps a better mode of carrying his design into effect, and, as the Editor of a weekly publication, entitled " The Economistf," he continues his endeavours to bring the prin ciples on which the plan in question is founded to the test of fair discussion. Athough the circulation of the work is not as yet very extensive, it would appear that the Editor has already prevailed upon a number of the working classes, chiefly Journeymen Printers, to form themselves into what they have termed The " Co-operative Society," the object of which is to unite their means for the purchase of articles of necessity at wholesale prices, and to adopt such other domestic arrangements as shall enable them to enjoy many of the advantages belonging to the more perfect plan of Mr. Owen, without abandoning their present occupations. If this association should advance steadily in the course upon which it has entered, its example cannot fail to have a considerable influence upon the character and habits of that class of the commu nity out of which it has been formed ; and may even operate a considerable change in the gene ral frame of society. One obvious consequence that must result from these associations, should they become numerous, is that the occupations of the petty retail dealers will be rendered nearly su perfluous. But it is not merel v among the order of men above alluded to, that " The Economist" has made converts. The 20th number of that ‘voi k con tains a letter from a gentleman in Devonshire, who states, that he and several respectable per sons in his immediate neighbourhood, are well disposed to form an establishment on Mr. Owen's Plan, and that for this purpose he himself would be willing to contribute from 3,0001. to 5,0001. Mr. Owen too has, it seems, though silent, been far from inactive. Ile has propagated his principles in the mode best calculated to work conviction on the minds of men, namely, by displaying to the numerous visitors of his establishment, the practical effects of his benevolent treatment both of the adult and minor population over which he presides. It ap pears now to be universally admitted, that he has succeeded in diffusing among his people a degree of intelligence, of comfort, and of happiness, which would be sought in vain in any other com munity of a similar description and of equal num bers ; and that this has been effected without the slightest detriment to the interests of the Finn, of which he is the head partner. A most valuable and important testimony has been borne to the soundness of his principles, and the justice of his pretensions, by many highly respectable persons of the County of Lanark, whose Petiti on , praying for an inquiry into Mr. Owen's Plan, .is now (June 9) lying on the Tables of both Houses of Parliament. All 'these facts indicate that the prejudices which but lately existed agai►►st Mr. Owen and hid doctrines, are beginning to subside ; and it is to be hoped that the enlightened Readers of THE SUN will not deem it beneath the dignity of philosophy, now to bestow some attention upon a proposal, which offers an effectual remedy for our national disorders. When I sat down to compose the feeble essays, which you have been pleased to admit into your columns, it was with a determination to speak in measured terms of the advantages which will result from the adoption of the pro jected social arrangements. I fear, however ) that I have already transgressed the bounds The circumstance here alluded to by INDEx we haren know originated in a vas:ale—ED. • t Published at No. 46, Fleet -street. 1, which prudence would have dictated, and in the further developement of my anticipations, it is but too probable that I may again lapse into the same error; for it is scarcely possible that a person who conscientiously believes that a remedy for pauperism, with all its attendant evils, has been discovered, should be able to suppress the ex pression of those joyous feelings which such a conviction must create. We have, indeed, in the conduct of the Author and Finisher of our Faith, and of the Messengers whom he deputed to announce to the world the best tidings which had ever reached the ears of mortals, a most illustrious example of the course proper to be pursued on such occasions. In their proceedings we are at a loss which most to admire, the bold ness, the energy, and animation or the suavity, the prudence, and wisdom, which, as occasion required, they alternately displayed.' How ex actly did they steer between the two extremes of timidity and temerity ; of lukewarmness and fiery zeal ; of subserviency to prevailing opinions and a rude disregard of deep rooted prejudices.—At one time we observe them dealing forth as to children simple truths, and first principles ; and at another unfolding to disciples of mature growth the sublime mysteries of our religion.— Among these mysteries, I am strongly inclined to believe, was the very fell-owship (Ephesians 3, v. 9.) so long lost sight of by the Christian world, and which is now brought forward in a form which, whatever may be the creed of the person who has been the instrument in the hands of Providence of promulgating it, evidently bears the stamp of that benign revelation which is destined to unite all mankind in the bonds of love and union. —This however would open a wide field of ar guinent, into hich it is not my present purpose to enter. That every heart which yearns over the ignorance, the wretchedness, and the vices, which deform the world, must throb at the mere possibility of the results contemplated by the Philosopher of New Lanark, may be safely affirmed. But to convert transient hopes into permanent expectations, the understanding must sanction the aspirations of the heart. We justly apply the term visionary to any schemes for the promotion of happiness, where the means are evidently inadequate to the end ; that is to say, where the projector expects, that human beings . shall be made to act for any con tinuance in a manner different from what they have heretofore acted under similar circumstances. The question then is, whether the scheme of Mr. Owen does or does not come under this class. 1 think it must be admitted, on the one hand, that we have no authentic proof that Societies have hitherto been placed in circumstances alto gether similar to those by which he thinks it pos sible to surround the members of his projected villages ; while on the other hand it is well known that Societies acting upon some of the principles of his plan have long existed, and still exist. 1 shall, with your permission, take another opportunity of verifying this assertion, and on this occasion confine myself to a slight sketch of the leading features of Mr. Owen's arrangements. I have not Mr. Owen's works at hand, but, from Dr. Mac Nab's work, entitled " The New " Views of Mr. Owen of Lanark impartially ex " amined," I select the following passage, which will be found in Mr. Owen's address, delivered at the City of London Tavern, the 14th August, 1817,—" The knowledge I have acquired ou this subject, has been forced upon me by a long and extensive experience ; which, under similar cir cumstances, would have been acquired by the generality of mankind. None, I believe not one, of the principles have the least claim to origi nality ; they have been repeatedly advocated and recommended by .superior minds, from the earlieSt period of history. I have 113 claim even to priority, io regard to the combination of these principles in theory ; this belongs, as far as I know, to John Bellers, who published them, and most ably recommended them to he adopted in practice in the year 1696. Without any aid from actual experience, he has most distinctly shewn how they might be applied to the improve ment of Society according to the facts then known to exist; thus evincing that his mind had the power to contemplate a point extended one hundred and twenty years beyond his contemporaries. His work appeared so curious and valuable, that, on discovering it, I have had it reprinted verba tim, in order to bind up with the papers I have ritten on the same subject. Whatever merit can be due to an individual for the original dis covery of "a plan, that, in its consequences, is calculated to effect more substantial and perma nent benefit to mankind than any ever yet per haps contemplated by the human mind,—it all belongs exclusively to John Bellers." This, it must be confessed, is a handsome and manly avowal. But if the work alluded to, which well deserves the eulogium passed upon it, was not (as I think may be inferred from the words above quoted) discovered until after Mr. Owen had matured his own scheme, he is him self justly entitled to be considered as an origi nal inventor. Be this as it may, we are now pos sessed of the secret, and, without any disparage ment to Mr. Owen, I will venture to say, that such is its simplicity, that if Providence were to remove him to-morrow, there would not be the slightest difficulty in carrying the scheme into effect. But to come to the plan itself. As I write without reference to his own description of it, I shall pursue my owa method. Let us suppose that a community, consisting of about 1200 per. sons of both sexes and all ages, that is to say; made up of the average proportions of children, adults 2 aged and infirm members, were about to form a colony on one of the unoccupied spots of this kingdom, and that it was their determins tion, as far as possible, to possess every regil-. site within themselves. Their first object w0u1d,,.. doubtlegs, be to secure to themselves such as:' extent of land as should be capable olvieldifni a quantity of alimentary produce more Chan a .a r ficieut for their subsist e nce ; th e i r n ex t olajec' t would be to erect commodious dwellings, and to supply themselves with the other ile• cessaries, conveniences, and comforts to whia they had been inure or less accustomed in the society whence they emigrated. Sup posing them possessed of a knowledge of Ws principles upon which Mr. Owen's Flan i; founded, and cordially agreed to act upon those principles, they would be aware that a regard ta, their own true interests required that they should, as far as practicable, without trenching upon indi - vidual liberty, carry on every operation con jointly, and economise to the utmost both their materials and labour. They would, aecordittg-. to the practice of the most experienced agricul• twists, erect their dwellings as nearly- as pos sible in the centre of their estate ; and, in tha construction of them, a regard to economy would require that one contrivance should answer nu- • merous purposes. Hence they would see the. advantage of making one convenient kitchen, and a sufficient number of other public rooms, in the place of multiplying small rooms, and paltry utensils for the separate use of each family.-- The females would find, that, by dividing among themselves the domestic duties of the cominu--' nity, those duties might be performed in a tithe of the time, and with incalculably more skill and effect than by their own individual and' desultory efforts, if, for theexclusive benefit of her. own family, each was burthened with all the petty details of housewifery, amidst the distrac tion arising from the care of young children. —The children of such a community would be. sufficiently numerous to admit of the introduction of the best system of education. For the pur poses of manufacturing the several articles 'of cloathing and of furniture, machinery would bee resorted to; and as each member would have a common interest, on equitable principles, the whole produce of the land and manufactures, it is obvious that the more extensively and effi ciantly mechanical inventions were introduced and applied, the more would the wealth of each: individual be increased. There could then'arise no collision of interests between the agriculturist and manufacturer ; for those interests would be, identified. Abundant harvests, and plenty of provisions, could not be regarded, as withuS, evil : what constituted the joy of one could not; be a source of sorrow to another ; all would re-: joice together, and receive with gratitude" the gifts of Providence. Such is, indeed, a very slight sketch of that Plan, which has beer► scouted as visionary and impracticable. To my mind it presents a scene fraught with delight. TIDE. grand desideratum of Society, I conceive. is , as I observed in my last essay, to carry the prin : _ ciples of union and combination as far aa*ac-' ticable. The only limit that should be assigned' to the operation of those principles, is that point ‘v here they would invade the right of privacy, and the freedom of action. Under the proposed arrangements, provision is made for the enjoYMent of privacy, each family having separate sleeping and sitting apartments, the size, number, and con: venience of which might be increased as the associa tion advanced in wealth ; and freedom of action is insured by the right of each member to with draw from the society when so disposed, and by the inalienable right of all Sock Ceti to expel those indilidualS who shall disturb their peace. I am aware that many doubts, difficulties, and objections have been started to this scheme of ar rangement, and I am prepared to advert to them in my future Essays.—l am with esteem,:. Sir, you r's truly, June 10, 1821. INDEX. _+_ ERRATA IN NO. 111.

MUSICAL FESTIVAL:.-The Concert for the benefit of the Spitalfields -National Schools.was given yesterday, at Christ..

We have seldom heard the fine specimens of musical com. positions comprised in the selection,. which was chiefly supplied from the sterling works of. HAN DEL, lIA'YON, MOZART, . and. BEETBDITVI, under more favourable 'circumstances._ The build ing itself is extremely well adapted .to- the performance of music ; and some, of the firSt rate talent of the-profession, both. iu the .vocal and instrumental. .departments, was put in requisition for the occasion. Among the former the lead was taken by Mr. BuAnAwand Mrs_ SALMON ; and in the latter we noticed Messrs, LINDLEY, DRAGONETTI, GRIEPIACII, WILLMAN, Sze. Sir G.
