THE PER .1441, 1 : an ds ii!?liik Will *A' i' . ,n,kliam‘n4ry- xonild&:44,:amf#l4,in stich'% munner 'THE PiiivWiviii Apictovr,-- As th'e House of - Commons will soon decide on the letters of Mr. Hort: and Mr. MENZIES, it be comes us, whatever we may think of the open and manly style in which those gentlemen have defended their conduct and characters, to await the decision of Parliament, with a full convic tion that its decision will be guided by a sense of what is due to respectable individuals, who may not be in Parliament, as well as of what is due to the dignity of the House of Commons in its legis lative capacity. The House of Commons was occupied this morning till near five o'clock. The subjects which chiefly engrossed its attention were Mr. NOLAN'S proposition for amending the Poor Laws,—the Report on the Alien 13i11,—and Mr. WESTERN'S Resolutions on the State of the Coun try. We are sorry that the views of the latter Hon. Member were chiefly confined to the pre. sent depressed condition of the Agricultural In terest ; and that, continuing to be of opinion that the public distress is attributable to the resump tion of Cash Payments, he looks for his remedy to an alteration of the currency. The falla ciousness of these speculations has already been so successfully exposed, that it is unnecessary to re-examine his argument. We did hope that it was Mr. WEsrEaN's intention to deve lope the fruits of a more comprehensive in quiry into the true situation of the country, and of a more accurate investigation of the real causes of its difficulties, than has yet been attempted in Parliament ; but these expectations have not been realized. He is, we think, well qualified for the task ; and we should rejoice to find, at the beginning of the next Session, that he had employed the interval between the meetings of the House, in preparing for the performance of so important a service to the public. The only basis on which it is possible for measures of ge neral and effective improvement to be founded, is the increase of - consumption, promoting, of course, the ease and comfort of the whole of the people. Lord LAUDERDALE briefly stated the only efficient remedy for its, distresses, when he said that " the increase or enlarge ment of the markets for its productions Nl‘as what the country really required:"— All remedial measures must be grounded on that proposition. Mr. WESTERN and others who turn their attention to the subject, therefore, will see the importance of the Poor Laws, and of their wise administration, to the national welfare, and the necessity of effecting an extensive improve ment in the condition of the labouring popula tion. Mr. NOLAN, whose speech on the Poor Laws is in many respects valuable,, is mistaken in his statement that " the strict examining into the condition of the poor, and the properly distin guishing the idle and extravagant from the indus trious, are the great foundation of any amend ment in the Poor Laws ; " and he is equally mistaken in his opinion, that, in appointing as. sistant overseers of Parishes, the choice ought to fall upon " persons who are well skilled in ad ministering relief to the poor, and who are con. versant with them, and able to see their do mestic wants."—These are certainly consider ations of importance, and ought to be at tended to ; but they are of secondary magnitude, and are not fundamental. The " great founda tion of any amendment," is, not" the distinguish ing the idle from the industrious," but, the dis covery and adoption of measures for giVing the poor employment, aid enabling them to support thdmselves, by the exertion of their own productive industry; and, the most valuable quality in an as• sistant overs eer wou ld b e th a t o f skill in Bevis , ing and superintending useful employments for those placed under his care. By this means, there would be little occasion for the troublesome and vexatious duty of " distinguishing- between the idle and industrious," s i nce a ll who applied for relief would be placed in a situation which would render their own comforts dependent on their own industrious exertions.

The Dowager Lady GRESLEr opened her mansion in Ed ward-street last night, for the Concert of Mr. and Mrs. A silt, and a snore gratifying concert has not" been heard during the season. The vocal performers were Miss H. ASHE, Miss PATON, Master SMITH, BEGREZ,' and ZUCHELLI: The music was well selected and admirably performed. Miss H. AMIE distinguished herselfin a duet with BEGREZ, in another with Master SMITH,fiI a quartetto with Miss PATON,BEGREZ, and ZucHr LTA. In the second act she sung a new scene e cave tine; and last, a very pleasing ballad MS. called Marian, composed by Mrs. MI L E S ,- w h ose exce ll ence as a P er f ormer on the Piano Forte is well known. Such were the vocal exertions of Miss H. ASIXE. Her instrumental skill she displayed in a duet for the Piano Forte and Harp, with Mr. BOCHSA, and both performed admirably. Miss A sat also performed a Fan tasia, with variations, composed by MoScriEr,Es, in a finished style of taste and execution. Miss PAT ox justly excited great applause in BISHOP'S " Bid me Discourse," in a scene of cIANCHETTINI, and a favourite .Scotch air.,--Her voice is powerful and well-toned,•and her taste correct. Master SMITH was justly encored in singing the popular air of " We're a' Noddin." Mr. P. CRA3IE It led; Li lc LEY performed ou the violincello, and CIANCHETTINI presided at the piano forte. The expectation of this Concert drew a phalanx of first-rate per formers and amateurs, among whOin were CROSDILL, CER. VETTO, .J. CRAMER, MOSCHELES, and a very numerous and elegant company. The hospitable Lady of the mansion as amply provided refreshments, choice wines, and a supper, as if the company w ere h er own guests b y i nv i tat i on, and not for the advantage of a distinguished Musician and his accomplished family.

Opera, of two acts, which was brought forth last night at 'this Theatre, under the title of All in the Dark; or, The Banks of the Elbe', is said to be a translation from two French pieces incorporated. The following is a brief outline of the Fable : " The characters were—Baron Von BrounSchweig, Mr. BARTLEY ; Lieutenant Frederick Blumenthal (his Nephew), Mr. J. BLAND; Lieutenant Adolphus Steinbach, Mr. Row. 110THAM ; Scnell (Valet to Adolphus), Mr. POWER; Knapps (Valet to Frederick), Mr. sAvein Quartz (Landlord of the inn at _Meissen), Mr. IVIINT,os . „.• _Stoup, (Waiter), Mr. WTI.- KINSON Vogler (Porter to the Baron), 'Mr. W. BENNETT ; Rose Blumenthal (Sister to Frederick), Miss CAREw ; Sophia Steinbach (Sister to Adolphus),'Miss POVEY ; Model (Dough . - ter to Quart, and married to Stoup), Miss KELLY. The two Lieutenants, each in love with the sister of the other, have quar relled and fought. The duel has excited the Sovereign's dis pleasure, and an order is issued fbr:their arrest. At the mo ment of Steinbach's caption, the Baron comes in, mistakes him for his nephew Blumenthal, whom he had never seen ; dis misses the officer, and takes the presumed nephew to his house. Here Steinbach meets his mistress Rosa, who had been indig, nant with him on account of the duel. She is, however, forced to receive him as her brother, through fear of letting. the Baron into the secret, an d d i n s M a ki ng t h e f am il y breach irreparable. The actual brother is subsequently detected hurking- about tbe grounds, and his appearance thickens- the embarrnS,..' rength;‘ afteia night 'sC4l6,'tlfe t clses, in a' double Mar ; This is, one of those light:Suninierpieces - WhiCh would hardly War - the. churlish blaSts ofivinter criticism, and. which rare.‘chiefly intended - to give scope to the talents. ofAheiPerforiners;' Those talents were very. successfully exerted last niiht, and to them is the success •of the piece to be chiefly attributed. Miss KELLY was, as she always is, prominent in merit. The manly humour of BARTLEY was very effective, and so was the simplicity of WILKINSON. • Miss CAREW and Miss POVEY gave strong support to the piece, in acting as well as singing: ROWBOTHAM is a ju dicious actor, but he has too much side play. He should get rid of his winks,' nods, and side grins, and trust to (he good sense which in general renders .him very respectable.— The same advice is'. applicable to the new Performer Pow en,'who has a superflut . of gesti culation. Why Vogler (W. BENNETT) should be the only character whaspeaks 'German-English it is difficult .to conceive and as to the second title, Ti's Banks of the - ,Elbe, it might as well have been the banks of any other river, or 'rather no banks at all.. The translation is ascribed to a' Mr. PLANCHE. The dialogue is fully adequate 'to the intrinsic quality, ofi= the 'piece. The same may be saki of the musip,, which is the acknow ledged production , of Mr, LIN-ars, whose talents as a volunteer singer in private are weil known. The Opera was rendered decidedly successful by the applause of a numerous audience. • . . . • . _ r , , .--',• "•• . • ''', ' , I "It y l o ll, , •• 7., .Elfii i •AN 'ji ' • • ~,,, ,,,,,, ~. 4, • r ( 0 - 3 e) a , rd - 0 . k...., .5 ...zrirw- , .. , .44;,•••• - ,',.,,;,;- ... • . m.... ~.,, e . -. 41 7,, j f•-'' ‘. k,6 ;) 0tz.„5,111\:.% . -4A **,:;.; - '',;: fiKfel,; ;A „ ~---",'"" . , 4.-... 6 7 24,N . .,„,--dr , a E e l • ts..e - -- .. ..---:z .,,- -7? , r ,- *_.:;f:,-7 , -- . .„ , 4,4 i, - . ..,.... 7i , , ..,,, ),...............!..... ~.....:,... 0 ,.. ..., t. „4:6_ ,,,, R, 9 ..... te_c1 . 4,,e ffifors Al I use, rainS t ,veers , a to, Bill, i aer• low- s; a da MERCANTILE SHIPPING, &c. • DEAL, JULY 10.-Wind S.W.--Arrived last night and sailed for the River the Thal.ia,tiler, from Jamaica ; Ariadne, Russel, St. Domingo.

The cloth removed, N on no bi s D om i ne was sung, an d " t h e King," " the Duke of York and the rest of the Royal Family," and " the Navy and Army of Great Britain," were severally drank with three times three; and followed by the loyal and national strains of " G o d save t h e Ki ng, " " How merrily we live," and " Rule Britannia." The Noble CHAIRMAN then rose to call the attention of the Meeting to the subject which had brought them together on this occasion. Among the great changes, he remarked, which had occurred in our time, the rising of the Columbian Republic held a conspicuous situation. That the people of South Ame rica had succeeded in emancipating themselves from their an cient thraldom was in his judgment matter, of congratulation, and the prospects which now opened before them must, in his opinion, afford the hi g h es t grat ifi cat i on to every li bera l m i nd. They must be sensible of the great merit of those whO had led the armies of the infant Republic, whO had established the credit of that country, and snatched .it from the oppressive laws and inquisitorial power under', which it had formerly sighed. The people of Colombia had proved that they knew how to value the liberty for which they had bled. They were determined to enjoy the rights of freedom, and their energetic measures had swept away the evils arising from •a tyrannical Government and an intolerant Church. They Could not but wish for the success of such people. Ile hoped they would long be united with England in bonds of amity, and was confident th a t t h e compan y h e t h en a dd resse d would feel that they were honoured by the presence of the Repre sentative of the Colombian Republic on this occasion.—(Ap plause.)—He should therefore beg \ to propose to them the health of Mr. ZEA, Minister Plenipotentiary from the Colom bian Republic. The toast was drunk with three times three, and with shouts of applause. Don FRANCISCO ANTONIO ZEA then addressed the as. sembly in the French language, to the following. effect : "My Lords and Gentlemen—With sentiments -of the most unmingled satisfaction I rise to express my - cordial acknow ledgments, my deep and lasting gratitude, for the honour you have just conferred on me and on the nation, whose humble re presentative I am. With feelings of equal delight shall I con vey to my Government and my countrymen the impression of the reception which I have this day experienced at your hands. They will perceive in it the sure pledge of that friendship which Providence destines to reign for ever between two nations, formedto promote each other's happiness and prosperity. With mutual wants, which each has the faculty of supplying to the other, Great Britain and Colombia have only to look forward to a long enduring intercourse on the basis of mutual benefit._ Gentlemen, the struggle in which we have been engaged has been long and ar d uous . I t h as cost us sacrifices which I can. not pretend to describe to you. Nothing but a perseverance and a constancy, sustained by an innate sense of the justice of our cause, and encouraged by the protection of Heaven, could have enabled us to have overcome the difficulties and privations we have had to encounter. Now, however, that Our hopes are consummated, and that we !enjoy the satisfaction of living under a free Constitution, of being governed by - our own laws, the first desire of our hearts is to forget- all past' injuries___ The loathsome and hideous - tyranny of Spain, her cruel per severance in, a contest againit reason and humanity,' will be forgotten throughout Columbia ' in the moment in Which sh e sh a l l . accept the right h an d o f friendship; so often held out to her. Our desire is to be at peace with all the world. Between the other nations of the earth and Colombia there are no points of colli sion. She .desires to receive from Europe those productions of science and of art, which tend to the convenience and int prOvement of life, and she is ready to yield in return from her boundless resources those rich productions of nature which she possesses in such variety and extent. Looking thus to no in tercourse with Europe, but that of the most mutually useful kind, I trust we are advancing no vain or arrogant pretensions, in simply claiming to be received as that which in truth we are, a free and independent nation. And why should we not be so received ? What has been the foundation of the civil rights of all the nations of the earth ?' In the history even of this mighty empire, which now exercises such an immense moral influence over the whole earth, do its records spew no period at which it has been oppresed by foreign dominion, and subsequently released from its - enthralnients ? I hope it will be found, too, that the use we have hitherto made of our li berty has been such as to show that we are not unworthy of it. Our Constitution—our public 'acts are before the world. In asmuch as they tend to the advancement of human civili zation—to the improvement of the human character; they possess claims within themselves which I need not urge upon an enlightened nation, nor will I attempt to draw the contrast they form to that unhappy system of' govern ment which Strain so long exercised over us. Let Britain, then, the mistress of her otvn acts, neither debased by superstition nor enslaved by despotism, he the first of the powers of Europe to accord to us the acknoWledgment of our -just and natural . rights ; she needs , neither the ex ample .nor the •consent of other nations to perform an act of pure and simple' justice. Permit me now, Gentlemen, to ex press on the part Of my countrynierk and myself the esteem and respect in • which the British character is held-anions us: It. Was in Great .Britain that the' first example Of .constitutional government was given to the worltiL-it is here that the spirit of a sound and rational liberty is ever preserved and cherished— it was in Great Britain that, at the time of her utmost need, Columbia found firm and faithful friends' to come to her sup port. The injuries of Spain will soon he forgotten—the friend ship of Great Britain will be cherished warm in our hearts so long as life shall beat in them. I beg permission to propose to you this sentiment Prosperity to Great Britain, the model of, rational liberty, and a long continuance of frien d ly relations between her and Columbia.' " This toast was drank with enthusiastic applause. Mr. ROWCROFT declined translating the speech whichhad just been heard, but called the attention of the company to the sentiment with which it had concluded. He, however, subse quently stated the substance of .the speech. in English to have been put into his hand, and as lie was sure the whole company would wish to be in possession, lie would read it, as he appre hended the vocal organ of their excellent Friend was not suffi ciently strong to enable those who Understood.the language in which his sentiments had been expressed distinctly to hear what he had addressed to them. He then read the foreg oing trans.. lation of Mr. Ze a ' s s p eec h, w hi c h was rece i ve d wit great ap-. plause, as the original had previously . been. Sir JAMES MacKINT °sir, in rising to offer a toast which lie had been requested to propose, declined enlarging on sub. jects on which their excellent friend Mr. Zea had touched with so much ability. The few remarks lie had to submit to them he would confine to questions of general policy, taking care to avoid any topics but those on which he believed Enlishmen were almost unanimously ag r ee d., Wh en h e looke d at that assembly, composed of men of all parties and of all religions, .he saw the happy result of that system which in this free coun. try connected all the links of society in an indissoluble union, which was at the same time equally favourable to public order and to liberty. But public order and liberty in such a corn. munity,far from being adverse, lie contended were not separable. Public order protected liberty, and liberty sustained public or der, and together they inspired that genius and supplied that virtue which were called for to perpetuate their union. The liberty of this country, which he regarded as the source of its prosperity, would be secured and improved by the diffusion of liberty all over the world. Not merely 'then on account of that interest which every good man must take-in the diffu sion of liberty, but from -the particular interest which he had as a member of this great community, he wished for its exten sion. There we had a duty sufficiently arduous .to perform, but here that duty consisted .in preserving liberty. Our friends in South America had had a more difficult labour on their hands—they had .to acquire and establish that liberty, which, thanks be to Heaven and our forefathers, we found per formed to our hands. The blessing of liberty was too great to be conceded at a low price. Vigilance, ceaseless vigilance, and intrepid courage were demanded on the'part of those who as pired to its enjoyment. Others had greater difficulties to con tend with, but they had greater glory to acquire in gaining that which we had only to maintain. He proceeded to shaw that when Old Spain had been attacked by a foreign power, she had • no longer the means of protecting her foreign possessions, and the Colonies of neces s ity b ecame i n d epen d ent. H e rejoiced in the successes of Spanish America, and he did so the more, be cause he thought to doing so he cast no reflection on Spain.- . - That country he had admired for its ancient renown,--for its efforts in modern times against - a fOreigifinviider--and also for its recent, :struggle! . incthet Ruse. of freedom, and the 'alinost bloodleSs, revolution which had been - there accomplished:— He rejoiced in the hope th:lt.Colttrilbia would now be restored. to that cbmrnerce which had 'been io long Interdicted by the policy of Spain,, ' He,took great interest in the success of South. America, from the circunistancg.of .its having been seen' that. the first mie male of 'lts newly acquired freedom' was to fish the Slav e T ra d e . O n t hi s subject he was ashamed to say' much in the presence of his Honourable and Venerable _ „.. • • • Friend (Mr. *Wilberforce), who honoured them by attending thit oceasion, and•,the attendance of such a character was .-ene..afethe greateat'lleriourf: that any Society could receiie.- - . When r they saw other' countries who :hid ,pretended to abo lish the Slave Tiede, still conniving 'at' itaheing Carried on, and taking to themselves all the guilt i and infamy att ac h e d to en couraging that odious 'tra ffi c,. t was impossible not to view with admiration the Republic- Of Colombia: In that country where the prcetoritifi establishmentswere most considerabl e , where the temptation to sanction - plavery was stronger •than 'itf any other, the virtue - ivhiCh had termin a t e d it was the more striking. • He howeVer could not diVell on this, as theyewinild hear of it from morn hallowed lips, for hallowed were those lips which had done so much in the cause of suffering heuna nay as those of his lion. Friend. But he must say that lie re joiced that the people of Colombia had commenced their ca reer of freedom by an act as wise as it was humane. Acting thus, who could not admire conduct which ought to be an example, but which was at present a reproach to nations who put forth far higher pretensions ? As a general proposition he would say, that as revolt against liberty was the greatest of all crimes, so revolt ag a i ns t d espot i sm was the greatest of all vir tues. He concluded by proposing—” The health of General Bolivar, the President of Colombia." Mr. WILBERFORCE Commented with much anineation : on the brilliant dawn which had already been witness e d i n Colom bia, which promi se d to introduce freedom in its full meridian splendour. Scarcely had the Representatives of the.sistercolo nies been united into one body, when they endeavoured to ex tend the freedom they had gained for • themielVes to the_most degraded of the human race. This marked a high feeling of Christianity, which taught that we could never so well enjoy comfort ourselves, as while we were' occupied in imparting it to others. This he considered to be a delightful omen, this was the true road to greatness and glory, and he contemplated with gr eat satisfaction the effect which would. be produced when their excellent friend (Mr. Zea) should recross . the Atlantic, and report the impression which the course taken by the Senate of Colombia had made on English hearts. Their virtuous con duct, it was his wish, and not only his wish but his prayer, would tend to the total extinction of the Slave Trade, and with this feeling he begFd to give as a toast—." The speedy Aboli tion of the Slave lrade, and thanks to the Senate of Columbia for the efforts they had made to contribute to the accomplish !ment of that object." The toast was drunk with three times three. Mr. MARRA - AT said nothing could more strongly evince the deep interest taken in this metropolis in what concerned the people of Columbia, than the circumstance of so numerous a body of Gentlemen assembling this day in lienenr of its Mini ster. He felt more strongly, on this subject, from having had opportunities in early life of witnessing the system acted upon by Spain. That, system was such a mixture of bigotry and tyranny, that he could never breathe freely while he remained within its reach. That change which had taken place, he pro ceeded to contend, would be likely to benefit this country, by enlarging its commerce, and opening a new mart for the pro duce of its industry ; and in time he doubted not we should be able to procure articles from South America for which we were at present dependent on other countries. The Government of England had lately done much towards recognizing South America. Two Acts had passed, which opened all parts of Great Britain to the commerce of Colombia ; but he hoped, ere long, that more would be done, and that the independence of the Republic would be formally acknowledged. Great Bri tain ought never to be the last in commerc i a l enterpr i ze, nor the last to acknowledge the independence of a people, who had struggled as the South Americans 'had done in the cause of liberty. He gave as a toast—" May the relations now forming between the countries of. the new and the old world be consoli dated on a basis of la s ti ng am i ty an d mutual advantage and prosperity." The toast was received with applause. Dr: LtrsitirroToie offered his hearty congratulations on the triumph of Colombia, and on the standard of freedom being made to waive over:the fall of despotism and tyranny. If no benefit could thence accrue to this country, he was sure every Englishman would still rejoice in the success of the cause ; but • • 'le "was confident that in everypoint.of view the result must be,. beneficial to (he a t Britain. Of the President Boliv a r, whos e health had been diunk, be begged to - mention one circumstance • which lived in his memory. In 1816, when the war wt raging, and when acts of the most brutal ferocity had been committed on the part of the Spaniards, Bolivar. issued a proclamation, forbidding those who acknowledged his authority to put their enemies to death but on the field of battle. This proved that freedom wanted not the aid of cruelty, and that mercy was ever the concomitant of true courage. He proceeded to shew that Colombia was particularly entitled to consideration and sympathy from England on account of the efforts she had made, and was still making, to imitate the institutions of this country. He concluded by proposing that they should drink to " the Congress of Columbia, and may the wisdom of its delibe rations consolidate the successes which the valour and constancy of the people have gained."—The' toast was drunk with three times three. Sir W. CunTis would not detain •the meeting after the elc quent speeches which they had heard; but in the sentiments which had been uttered he most heartily concurred. Those who had preceded him had praised the people of Colombia for their endeavours to imitate this free country. After this he thought it is duty to call the attention of the assembly to those by whom this free country was governed, and he therefore begged to propose " the health of his Majesty's Ministers." The toast was drunk with three times three. Mr. J. SMITH, trusting the day was not distant when Spain would recognize the right of South A mer i ca to b e f ree, an d be as anxious to concede liberty to Colombia as to gain it fior her self, proposed " The King, Cortes, and people of Spain, and May all countries respect her right to a free Constitotion, and may she herself soon acknowledge the right of the people of Coltimbia to-the Same'ldessir4.o,.' The toast havingheep 'drunk With the usual honours, ''Sir B. HORHOIT SE i)rof.osed,, after an animated eulogium, " the health 'of their President, the Duke of Somerset, and thanks to hint for-his exertions on this occasion." The toast was drunk with great applause. The Duke of SOMERSET returned thanks. Wri.sON was unwilling to trespass long on the time of the meeting, as following those who had already been heard, what he had to say would come like water after wine. He be lieved no one had felt more interested for Colombia than he . had, when it was proposed to put a stop to sending arms to South America. He congratulated the Meeting on the events which had taken place, and wishing th e R e p u bli c a ll success, he would use a few wor ds,. not of broken. English, but perhaps of bad Spanish, and say, may the Republic of Colombia, of which his Excellency was the representative, viva mil annoy, always united with this country, in the bonds of amity and friendship. Mr. LENNARD thought it redounded but little to the credit of this country, that, while availing itself of the increased corn-. merce offered by South Ameriea, it unworthily declined to ac knowledge the independence of Colombi a . H e pra i se d t h e con duct of thistle Who had governed the Constitution of the new Republic, and concluded by giving as a toast—" The Marquis of Lansdolne, and the other Noblemen who would have hon— oured the Meeting with their presence, 'but for previous indis pensible arrangements." , . • • The toast was drunk w i t h three tim es three. The Noble Chairman, Don Francisco Antonio Zea, Sir J. Mackintosh, and the greater part of the company then retired, but Mr. Rowcroft, being called to the 'Chair, prolonged the Conviviality of the scene for another half hour. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
