Ann. - . . 6i • .The Morning Chronicle ~has adverted to a para graph in the Sun of yesterday, and has thought pro per , to giye it a sort of demi-official authority, though we expressly stated, that we were 'merely collecting the rumours of , the day for the amuse nient of our Readers. We are not in the habit of pretending to knowledge which we do not possess ; and we did not pretend to any in the article alluded to •in the Chronicle. But it seems we made use of the expression, that it was probable that same changes Might take pface before the opening of `Pir liamenti,and we are accused of propagating, in an insidious manner, that there will be some changes, but not a change. The Morning Chionicle; ind the Party, it supports, will not be saiisfied -with any thing., less . than a radical change : they want the absolute possession of power, but the groUnds of their pretensions are mo s t unfortunately select ed. The Campaign in the Peninsula, is men tioned : surely the Party will not rest their diarae ters as Statesmen upon the opinions ty hick they have delivered upon that subje&. The public have not forgotten that the Party most solemnly declared, that, the preservation of -Portu gal was of so much importance to this country, that no sacrifice on our part would be too great to ac. complkh that object ; but they &dared that it was impracticable; that Ministers were . charged, on their responsibility, to Withdraw the Artny,, from that kingdom, and that it Wks boldly predicted last year, that within two months there would not be a Bri tish soldier in Portugal, except as a- prisoner.- It may appear unnecessary to repeat these opinions snd prediaions, but if the Party will ,sat forth their claims to public confidence; it is necessary to amt... -mine tbern. Another pint touched upon in the Chro;fide is, the case of the Roman Catholics of Ireland. Upon this point the' Party have most studiously, but most unjustly, charged the present Ministers with into -1 ranee. In what single instance has a spirit of intole -rAryce been manifested towards the fri,h Catholics ? The Ministers have, it Wtrue, , opposed a compliance with the whole of the demands of that body ; but if that can be called intolerance," .the mean irg, of that word has' 'lately been very much changed. If, however, it be intolerance to refuse an unlimited, ,unconditional compliance with their' demands, the Party, if in power, would, if they were consistent, be just as guilty ,of it as ti:e .prehent*Ministers. for the highest authorities among ti em declared that the concessiooof the veto, by the Catilolies, was a sine rin4 non, and the Catholics de 7 clarcd they , would not concedeit : upon their own :prin4les therefore,, the Party must 'adopt the very Conduti for which, they so loudly cen s ure the present Ministers. The Cell in the Victualling-Office, who, since the discontinuance of extra hours, has found time i , ) furnish paragraphs for the Mertung.Papers,• has committed a slight mistake in that which appears 'in the Morning Chronicle of this day., The Sav , log which he states to be i2OOl. n year, 1 1 ,pp t p s, , to be more than 15.001.,:a year and instead of an, increase of thirty established Clerks, at 801. a year (making an_ increase .f expence equal to. 24001. a year) we must reitd . six established, Clerks at 801. or 4801: a year, Malting the aelual saving by the a!Timernent upwards of 10001.. a year hut 'the great adyantage ls not so much tile more saving, .as the 'getting rid of a very bad principle, which one is only surpried shOuld.have continued so long. . Mr. SerrrNos, the :Mister Shipwright of , Chat. ham Pock-Yard, has discovered ,a new mode of constructing ships of war, wl ich promises to •be attended with many and important advantat;es.-- 11is plan Wai exhibitej on.

We consider Mr. Sat - etr.;os' Platt elf the highest importance to the Navy ; and we have no doubt that it will-,be followed up by other improvements in Naval atchiteaure: His MAJESTY, according to the report of yester. day,. remained much the same as, he has been for some time past. Last Friday the PoiNcE n'Eorgr sent . Ids . sub scription of 200 +guineas to the Treashrer:of the CoMmittee for supporting the. Royal Lancastrian System, of Education among the poor ; and a su b ;. scription of 200 guinea s towards the erettion of a National School in the metropolis. , His , Royal Highness also sent too guineas towards the liquida : tion of the debts incurred by Mr. f..tricAsTrAt in fitt prosecution of his system of education. His Royal Higlwess,, added, condescended to say, t hat be was ready to do more in'this cause, if what he had 'done should not be found sufficient. • Yesterday. hisloyal Highness the Duke of CU NI BERLAND left town to join his .regiment at. Run, fold, five troops of whiCh have marched for ,Bo mingham. The reason assigned for Itoydl mitt joining the regiment, ,is his wish ,to he its con stant attendance with the troop 'of lancers, who are perfe&irtg 'themselves - in. the ,exercise of that weapon. , Yeiterday the Eirl - Of CHESTERFIELD returned • ,to town from , Windsor, 'where he has been on a visit to • her •MAJESTY and th6:I I IIINCESSES ; and , this day his.

Lord HOLLAND recommended that the subscription should.not bt, confined to Spaniardsonly, but that the aid of Audi, Gentlemen as had large commercial concern in :Spain, should also be solicited. rdship further recommended that the subscription should be.von dueled under the sanoion and support of the British .Goverwrient,. I:vhiett was adopted by: the Meeting. Lord HOLLAND then put down his name for 2001, and was followed by several others, who subscrib ed to the same amount, the names of whom it is in tended to advertise in due time. Lord GLENBERVIE has the sole arrangement, and d reaion of the extraordinary works and plantation, which ciov&nment have commenced at 'Milan's Farm, Mary-le-bnnoo. The Rev.

PROBBSSOR DAYY.--This . great ornament - and prop of the scientific world, and whose valtiable discoveries in natural philosophy have justly railed. ban. into. the highest distinaion, is now at 'Dahill); where lie last week delivered his first leaurfa- on elearo-chernical philosophy,:: he began with a comprehensive view of the objed, anti utility of those lea - lures, and of the rapid progress that chemi cal and elearical science had.tnade,.the pectiliar•ad-: vantages derived from its study, and its general up. plicazion to the arts and to the economy of nature, r .. That country, he said, stood pre-eminently consok cuous for advantages that none. other- in the.empite . could -admit • of, abounding in fossils, minerals,' and mitres, , of incalcUlable value, interspersed with navigable rivers, lakes, lime. stone, and tuel„ and that it only .required the aid of, the opulent to bring them into action, and' thereby . render 'their country otre of the iirst 'in the- world. The ledurer, which was of the most - interesting nature, was delivered with modesty, and in such a' - manner as trennently to call forth bursts bi applause from a ,crowded auditory, .composed" of the first and most enlightened persons, in the", country.-- Mr. Davy recommended strongly to the - fe male part .of his auditory, who, were blessed /with afllueneq and leisure, to make the stieneei ailudea io a part of their study, and pointed out thee: great advantages that society would derive from their exertions, and (ha great source of amuSv. , - meta it would be to them when advanced in yqars': ,This exhortation, we trust, he'd a suitable eilect up'Ort his heaters ) and that it will, prompt them to ploy their .wealth 'for the ; richest - of society, front motives more noble:than personal gratificati)ti..

THE THEATRE--The admirers of eur great dra matic Bird had a considerable addition to their plea suit last night, in the'revival of The lkirder's,Tale, at Coeent;Garden Theatre. This play is .so . known, or ought to be. ao l well kriown, I?y our Iteatiers in general, as to render it unnecessary for tts to enter into any comments on its beauties or de.; feels, - and more 'particularly the Ammon -place striakares on its violations of the unities, and -its glaring errors in , geograhy and 'chronology.--; SHAKE;PRAIIE had . higher ' aims than such observ, traces as, however prOper in themselves, are chiefly suited to ordinary faculties. His object was to paint man in all the varielies of his citaraf.ter, and to sound the depths and shallows of the human heart:—The play is brought forth with a degree of magnificence worthy, of the author and of the great nation before which it Is wes,ented. .Tite - st.tees are-peculiarly beautiful and .striking, and constitute an admirable proof of that,. impedes of art:' The dresses are sopetb, and all time courtly' ornaments are milked by gran deur and classical taste. The aeling fully corre sponds with all the other merits which um haste stated, and yields as exquisite a repast to the mind as is afforded by tlie.sctoery, &c. :ice. to the. eye.— Herraiene is oneof those charaelerS wlichalentands • thetnore sedate and dignified qualities of Mrs. gm - withoutany the 't terrible graces" for which she is distinguished ; but it,iS the peculiar merit of this great At:ties* to itript ess the 'leap - as much by the' talin emotions of patienee,, forbear ance, and.resignation, list well as to rouse its feelings byan expression:of. the loftiest and r. most comtand log energies :•--her performance last night wan in time best styleof tenderness,' and dignified submission to her fate : in the , statne scene, as it is- called, there. kas a composed gr a ndeur in her aspect, aid subse quently something so affectieg ta s tier riii;yeinents s and turraoce; as could not but.eicite general syln patimy.—KßNlßLE . )ati a more difficult part to play in ~eont,es, for, he' had id contend against the ree,ings or the andience, who could not but fnrCibly condemn a jealousy, sa ill-founde4l, and which hay- nothing to, sopport it but suspicion. If we could doubt the accuracy : of SHAKESPEARE in the delineation of cha oder, ,we smould think that lie cited in -so sage, and othetwise-so noble a character asLeonfes, a atiipicithm so utterly ,eomastitied, and tempting hint • to such barbarous excesses. Kam pourfrayevd all the working of the character with 49rCe,. precision, • and powerful .effect. Florizel is a' part of no great importanCe, and 'CHARLES KENIBLR Imparted to it 01 . the interest of which it insusceptible. laattv reOrte, in Polixenes, displayed the steady merit 'of an experienced actor; and Eoatt'roar and CRESS WE WELL, in Anagonus and Carnitio,'Were sufli . dent ly respectable. FAWcETT was huinorces ip Aufeficus, and BLANCHARD and LISTON simple and 'diverting in the rustic lather and Nan. The Theatte' was crowded in all parts, and the, play re . ceived, with very, warm applause. Some of the principal Distillers' waited yesteiday by appointment on the Board of Trade, in to state the quantity of wet grain and malt they have now on hand ; and it is stated that it wa# notified to them,Aliat as soon as that quantity WAS consumed, the permission to distil froni grain would 'be, ponder!, and that they witufd have to :substitute sugar and 4nolassim in their manufaciure. Various alterations are making, previous - 0 the, next Session, in the House of Lords, and tt.e Aide rejlt ,approach” to it. A new staircase from _the arcade on the Weal side is conitsleted, and a• new door-vk-ay made in the house near the Sonth-west corner.
