COVSNTAARDEN.

KING AND QUEEN OF THE SANDWICH ISLANDS

The King and Queen of the Sandwich Islands ho- I'
timed Covent-garden Theatre with their presence last
night Their intention had been notified to the Manager,
who had his Majesty's commands to fit up his box for
their reception. Every preparation was accordingly made, I I
and the King's box was superbly decorated with crimson'
and blue tapestry. The play selected for the occasion was
Pi:arro. The al Party paid the greattat attention to
the business of the drama, and seemed to understand it;
hut apparently expressing their surprise at the plaudits of
the audience when any matter on the stage called them
forth. Her Majesty and her companion were alike at-
tired in crimson satin dresses, and white turbans with-
out any ornaments. The King and his suite were
dressed in the costume of this country. The King's ap-
pearance is remarkably gentlemanly. 'They were attended
by the Honoura'd I
e Mr. Byng. The play, we think, was
selected in bad taste, as it is an exceedingly dull one ; and
we cannot say much for the performance of it, with the
exception of Mr. Young and Miss Lacy, the latter of whom
I infused more than ordinary interest into the character of
Cora. We regret that the talents which this lady pos-
sesses should not be More frequently displayed. The house
was hut thinly attended. The Royal party were the chief
objects of curiosity, the play of Pizarro being the most
unattractive throughout the whole range of the drama.

The Duke de Livia yesterday made his Report, in the name of
the Special Commission appointed, composed of Messrs. Count
Roy. Count Mullin, the Marquis D'Aligre, Count Laforesta, and
the Dukes de Narbonne, Fitz James, and Lelia. The two prin-
cipal questions to be determined relative to the Act for the Reim-
bursement, or the ltduction of the Interest of the Five per Cents.;
were the following:—
Is the Act proposed just ? . .
Is the Act Profitable to the Sate?
Which comprise all the points which the subject involves, and ne-
cessarily lead to the solution demanded. After endeavouring to
prove that a Government has at all times the right of reimbursing
the sum it may have borrowed from the public, when it Snds itself
tin a position to do so, et to reduce the interest in proportion to the
actual value of money, making an exception to the Life Annu-
ities, he passed to the sec.nui question— the Act in quota=
profitable to the State?" • The Repose inquires, " If the dimi-
nution of 28 milliners per annum is the result of reducing the Five
Ives. Cent. to Three, which beat& is without doubt of greet im-
portance, is this advantage purchased at too dear a rate ?' Attu
wowing, by a long train of ingenious argument', the geostral md-
ventage resulting to the State from this measure of reduang the
ammosat of the National Debt, It concludes by declaring—•' We
have passed in succession before our view the thwem results of our
labour t and if you concur with our opinion, yott will conclude
with us—First, that the right of reimbursement it not limited to
itity prescribed period; and that it belongs to the Nation. On this
point your C.ommisailmers are unanimous. As to the utility of the
law propeaod, the insjarhy of your Coannsimdoswies are of aolinso.
