portunity, before the Estimates were produced, of. impressing upon Government the necessity•ef their turning their attention to the Civil ESta .e Mishments o f th e N avy, which he thought were capable of great reduction. Sir GEORG E WARKENDER anticipated the, re 6'ction of many. Civil Offices.. When the Civil. Estimates should be before the House, he would be able to point out. many savings which he had beeu enabled to make. iii the event of an arma- Meet bei ng called for, they would be able to draw. ,great means from the Commercial Navy of the Country. In consequence of the sailorS finding such ample employment in Commerce, they were enabled,to exercise great economy, and he had no doubt that 20 sail of the lind might easily be Increased to 30 by using the means thus offered. Th ey could always procure sailors, but it was marines they most wanted. Another facility which they possessed of obtaining sailors, was derived from having pensioned a great number With a sort of half-pay, the granting of which was Made Conditional with the promise of the men to .retur n to their ships when- wanted. He hoped, therefore, the Committee Would see the efficiency, of the measures adopted by Government on this head, and not be inclined to adopt the expensive system pointed out by the Hon. Member for Aber .tleee (Mr. Hume.) Mr. II urea said, he never remembered to have heard the matter discussed in that House, with out great commendations being beetoweel on the. body of marines. That House, he believed, had scartely ever come to a vote on the subject with out a regret being expressed that more marines were not raised. His opieion entirely coincided Xitli this. thought the marines airiest useful nd necessary body—they had always distin gttl.B led themselves in every war beyond expec tae°.'; and he hi g hl y approve d o f the augmen at„ion of th e C o;pS. Ir• Poitnes regretted the reduction which ad been made of the seamen. With regard to ‘the reduction of the Civil - Establishments gene .herallY hoped the advice given to Government w oul d be act e d upon. B ut, most of all-, he hoped to see a reduction. of the two land Lords of the Admiralty. He .had always had a great ar'tipathy•to their appointment.. The reduction of ou r seamen was a most.disastrous thing for the Country • The cons equence was , that.they Went off to A mer i ca, the Continent, wherever y C ould get empl oyment, or were thrown upon the Country to be a burden to it, or to starve, as he had frequently witnessed. Sir G. WARRENDER said, that so far from the tailors being throw n on the country at the.peace, i 51 55050 of them were pensioned in the way he ha d before explained. by'Crovernment, and 1175 Ld'hipmen had been promoted as a just reward art „er a long war. e1.1',4r. GLADSTONE corroborated the statement p r esent had been made of the number of seamen at att e 7nt employed in our commercial navy. He e , ‘ hilted this to.the increase of our commerce, 'ecei - 1 Y with the•Brazils, which was now the te e ,„„, d o ' 'a extent, and magnitude which this king, Pos p ort w . o s e,ssed. lie had manned a vessel. in this cui ty ii i i n" the last ten deys and found no diffi- Procuring very fine seamen. He had ex perienced the same facility pool l„ tek aein the poet of Liver- 4-sl itNoToer ob j ected to the motion of the "• : Baron et, because he thought there were not 4 t ti h c''ent es timates before the House, and he ei l ,Z g " t the cu s t om o f vot i ng supp li es w i t h out observ anee w as mor e h onoure d i n the breach than the d. What he particularly wished to dra w the at tention o f th e H ouse t o was , th e ant i, petion so broadly expressed by the Hon. Ba rnret and others, that in case of war, the impress , en t would furnish any number of human beings, te aring them from their employments, their wives and but families. Nothing could justify impressment het some great overruling necessity. But it was hot to be looked forward to as an every day re st:Mrse. He sincerely hoped that the First Lord _tthe Admiralty, new that they were in the en .l)",.finetit of peace, would bring forward sortie 'an for the abolition, as far as might be, of this Ztressing practice. Expellee, he thought, iht he no o bj ect to the, nation, when incurred 1 the dimi nut i on of a practice so abhorrent to v eer , an nature. -lie was not enthusiast enough to z q .o i se that th e system could be gotten rid of ,ther, b u t h e h oped that those who advised I.l:it 11IajeSty would take..the matter deeply into co nsideration. si i . e l Jett tOrt:or.

The House having resumed, the Chairman of the Committee reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Monday next. Mr. CILEEITY had stated on a former occasion, that if a real farce were wanted, he would re commend a Committee of Supply. He, bad to inform the Speaker, that during his 'absence from the :chair, the 'Committee had voted away sums to the amount of 1,900,0004 Now there were 659 Members of that House, trustees of the public money ; 55 of these only had been present during a part of the time hi which this money had been granted ; there had been five divisions, and the Majorities by . which it was voted amounted to 41, including the Ministers, who were present. There was not One Member who knew the purpose to which the sums voted were to he applied. He himself, although there, had been five motions - , knew no more than the man in the moon what was the object of any one of them, lie had made an effort to know what the money was voted for before it was granted, but he had been overpowered by numbers. It was his intention to take the first opportunity of in troducing a measure, which would provith! another and a different course of proceeding. If tine people of England would look on , and see their property disposed of as it was accustomed to be, they deserved any thing that might befal them. He trusted, however, they, would not, and that the table would be deluged with petitions and demands, until such a syStem was eradicated from the House. Mr. B. BA.TnuasT said that he, had been at a loss, until that moment, to know upon what ground the Hon, Member had been,occupying the time of the House for the last hour. The plan which he had adopted was not new, for about twenty years ago, there were" two Mem bers of that House in the constant practice of making similar objections. Mr. G. BENNET here interrupted the Right lion. Member, and moved that the House be counted. The SPEAKER found only twenty-six Members present.—Adjourned to Monday next. PARLTAM ENTARY PAPERS.

COUNTY OF SURREY MEETiNG.-Yesteiday a numerous meeting of the Nobility, Gentry, Cler gy, and Freeholders of the County of Surrey, took place at Epsom, for the purpose of, ad dressing his MAJESTY and both Houses of Par liament, relatke to the proceedings lately adopted against the--QUEEN ; ~and praying for some inquiry into the present posture of public affairs. At twelve o'clock precisely, Ilu•rcllEs Taow err, Esq. the High Sheriff for the County, took - the Chair, and commenced the business of the day by reading the Requisition, which bore the names of several Noblemen, comprising the Duke of NORFOLK{, Earl -DARNLEy, Lords ON SLOW, SUERBOURNE, &c. &c. most of whom at tended the meeting. Amonzst the persons pre sent were, Mr. MABEttLY, Mr: Alderman Wool), Mr. SCARLETT, &c. &c. &c. 1: 1 11C Addresses were carried unanimously. MILITARY GOVERNMENT.-The pre v sent Go vernment is said to be one of force ! Now, let a present fact answer this. In England t'kere are forty counties. In twenty-three of these there are no troops. The seventeen counties which have troops, contain two palaces, seven arsenals, and the metropolis. We understand, also, that there are not 500 troops in the twelve Welsh counties.—(Bir mingham Chronicle.) A. considerable number of the most respectable •Gentlemen of Dublin, not connected with party, have had a meeting to address the KING, praying that his MA.M.:TY would some time deign to ho nour Ireland with his presence. We received at a late hour this day, the French Papers of Wednesday last. Their contents are unimportant. A private Letter of the 20th ult. from Vienna states, that the Sovereigns at Lay bach have already had several important conferences ; and that it is reported if the Nea politans will not submit to the decisions of the Congress, hostilities will commence about the end of February. FRENCH FUNDS. Jan. 29.—Fire per Cents. Bank Stock All communications from Naples and Italy in general strengthen the opinion that hostilities will take place between the Austrians and Nea- politans. The letters received yesterday from Lisbon represent the affairs of that kingdom as in a very unsettled state : dispositions and, movements are noticed in quarters which excite considerable un easiness ; and the concessions that have been re cently made seem more likely to beget others, than to satisfy even those who have obtained them. New York Papers to the 9th ult. inclusive, were received this day. Their contents are un- important. The late DEAN of WINCHESTER, so celebrated in his day for his absence, learning, and wit, was in the habit of concluding all political discussions with the following pithy remark : " The 1;3 grin—Thc (hi:: pout?' It is understood that there is a stipulation in the Government grant of Marlborough House to the Marlborough family, which provides, that no person, except the heirs of that family, shall oc cupy the mansion Without the special sanction o - f the Privy Council. This sanction is said to be with held in the QUEEN'S case, , and consequently the trustees of the Marlborough Estate must be un able to complete their treaty with her MAJ ESTY. —(Morning Herald.) Nuremberg Papers reached us last night to the 24th ult. The negociations between Russia and Turkey, upon point 3 of difference as to Walla chia, Moldavia, Servia, and the passage of Rus sian vessels from the Black Sea to the Mediter ranean, and vice versa, have not yet been brought to a conclusion. It is said that a regular packet is to he established between this country and Greetskyl, near lii,mbden, as affording, especially in winter, a readier and less dangerous communication with the Continent than by way of Cuxhaven. Seve ral persons, it is said, are upon trial at Corfu, for addressing a Memorial to the Russian Government complaining of some points of the administration of the lonian Isles.

SOLEM Q ' UIS DIeERE FALSUM AUDEAT LONDON, SATURbAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1821. THE THEATRE. new Melo-Drame AS (1", brought Girth at this Theatre; under the title of Theieie; the Orphan of Geneva.-:—lt is a irans:, lation frdin a piece which, like The Maid and the Magpie, has been very popular on the Con tinent. FABLE. . . Thereie, theOrphin; has been brought up a s such by a certain Countess at Geneva, who leaves her 'all her Property at her death. The•relations dispute the Will, and the Coun tess's "Advocate, Carwi-it (WALLACK) offers to support her if she will marry hini. She reftiSe; and he joins her enemies. By his artifices she, is charged with having forged the will, and tiltiinately found guilty. She es6peS, however; before the imitence is pronounced, and under the rianie of Illarielte implores the pity of the Pastor of 'a neighbouring village , who introduces her to the Counkss de Morviih7, in Whose chateau she is received. There she becomei so great a favolnite, that the Countess consents to her marriag e with her s o u; an d the' nuptials are on the eve of being cele brated When Carwin ar rives, ,and represents her as a convicted impostor. She is consequently driven from the house, and takes refuge at a farm, where a ro o m w as alwayi kept reads' for the Countess when she travelled. .Thia room is given to Thereat ..for her accommodatiun ;. but she has no sooner taken possession of he apartinent, than she is disturbed by Camin, who once more renews his offers of marriage, and to induce ber, to ac cept him, informs her that.she is the daught e r o f the CoUnteis, who had left her the property, but that he alone can enable her to recover her rights. - She rejects hial a second time, Anil threatens to expose him. To secure Himself against her vengeance, he then resolves to retu r h at n i g ht and, murder her. Meanwhile the Countess arriv es , th e apar tments . are • changed, and the Countesi r,celVes the niorta! blow instead of Therese. At that moritent &thunderbolt sets fire to the house. Therese rushes to save the C6hntess„ and being found near the dead body, with the dagger in her haunt, is;charged with being the assassin. Cumin has escaped, wlth the belief that he has consummated the crime Which he intended. • He is, however, soon taken up as a suspicious character, and on being brought to the test of blood, and confronted with Therese, fancies he -sees the spectre of his victim, acknow ledges his guilt, and finally ,restores all her papers and her fain a. bRAM.ITIS PERSON*. Carwin, the Ads orate - - - Mr. Waltacis. Fontaine, the Pastor , - Mr. Codpet. Count de Morville, Son of the Countess Mr. Barnard. Picard, Steward of the Countess - Gattie. Lavigne, a Farmer - - - - Mr. Knight. Delparc, a Magistrate - Mr. Bromley, Marlette - - - - - Miss Kelly. The Countess de Mordlle - - - s. Egerton. Bridget, Wife of Lavigne - - - Mrs. Harlowe. Nannette, Servant of the Farmer - Miss. Phillips. This. piece is interesting in a greater degree . than most of the same kind that we have attend- . ed for a long time. The alt e rnati ons of prospe rity and distress in the fate of the heroine cited a powerful anxiety in the a u di ence , w hi c h of course principally arose from the excellent acting of Miss KELLY, whose successful efforts in the piece which we have before mentioned must naturally have piepared the audience to expect a similar effect on •the present occasion.— The acting of WALLACK also operated forcibly on the feelings, and his great merit. in the cha racter which he performed last night seems to point out the province to which his talents are peculiarly adapted. To Coorca likewise is the piece much indebted, as well as to KNIGHT, BARNARD, Mrs. EGERTON, and Mrs. liAaLowE ; and the piece is brought forward with such beau tiful scenery, and such appropriate music by HORN, that the universal applause which it re ceived from a numerous audience last night, may be considered as the precursor of continued po pularity and attraction. ANECDOTE.-The late Admiral Sir GEORGE CAMPBELL, whose death would have been a sub. ject of deep regret, under whatever circumstances it might have riappened, displayed great presence of mind on an alarming occasion. When he was stationed at Bantry Bay, a spirit of discontent broke out among the Seamen, and three of them were commissioned to wait on Sir GEORGE, to ask him " where they were to go."—Sir GEO RGE, with a look of determined firmness, said-:- " Where are ye to go—why to liel4 if you are ordered there."—This emphatic expression of a sense of duty from one so much superior, had such an effect upon them, that they turned away in silent submission, and the consequence was, a full stop to all their discontented murmurs, and increased respect and esteem for their gallant Commander. BRIGHTON, FED. I.—Our gracious MONARCH has appeared in public to-day. His Majesty, accompanied by Sir B. Bloomfield and Prince Esterhazy, was on horseback from one until after three o'clock this afternoon, passing through several of the principal streets along the Cliff parades, and thence on to the rural vicinity of the town. The most affectionatesalutations met him every where ; the Ladies curtsied and waved their handkerchiefs in the streets, and at the windows of their houses, and the hats of the male part of the population were taken off the instant the SOVEREIGN was discovered, and re mained so until he' had long passed. his M .TESTY appeared in high health and spirits ; the numberless salutations he returned with a digni fied affability peculiar to himself, and which gave one universal character of gladness to the minter ous groups about him.--Soon after the Savr,- REIGN'S return, Sir L. BLOOMFIELD left the Pa lace for London. MARRIAGE IN lIIGII Ltru.—Last evening, at half-past seven o'clock, Lord ViscoLtnt GRAN BORNE, the only son of the Niarquis -of SALISBUR Y, led to the Hymeneal Altar, the accomplished daughter of Hr. BAmnEtt GAscouiNg, in the presence of his Grace the Duke of Wellington, Marquess and Marchioness of Salisbury, Coun tess of Westmeath, Marchioness Dowager of - Downshire, the Ladies Hill, Lord Arthur Hill, General and the two Misses Gascoigne, Mr. and Mrs. Evelyn, Mrs. and Miss Stewart, Earl of Clarendon. The ceremony was performed in the great saloon at Mr. Gascoigue's house, by the Hon. and Rev. Gerrard. Wellesley. The Duke of Wellington gave the Lady away ; the Bridemaids were the Misses Gascoigne, her cousins. The Bride. was habited in a superb dress of Valenciennes lace, and looked most lovely. After the ceremony the happy pair left town for Mr. Daniel Giles's beautiful seat, called Youngsbury, in Hertfordshire, there to pass the honeymoon. _ The Earl of ROMNEY, at his last rent day, left his tenants to pay such part only of their rent: as was perfectly convenient to themselves. A singular noise, similar to that heard in Sus sex last week, was also experienced at Sherborne, in Dorsetshire, and continued about two minutes. In one house the concussion was so great that it shook the furniture. • COURT OF KING'S BENCH-CritiS DAY: ,Salt FRANCIS BURDETI 4 : At " • an,early hour every atenue leading to tit Court was much crowded by . persons of most respectable :appearance; in conseqUence of the case.of Sir F R A NCIS lIIIRDETT being pereMptorily fixed for ,a final hearing. : At pr e cis e i 'ten o'clock Mr.. justice Ho Lltol took his seat on the B,ench and dispOsed of.sorrie motions, Of •no interest except to the parties itriniediattly con cerned.
