OX, ORD CHANCELLORSHIP.

Mr. EDtvoit—l have the honour to be a Gradu-
ate of the University of Oxford, and cannot be in-
different to the result of the present active canva►,
tor the ClnuseeHoer Chair. With feelings, I flit-
ter myself, nut unworthy of a eon of Alava Miacr, I
have endeavoured to call the attention of my
to the claims of a Noble Peer, against whom the
hacknied war-whoop of " Nu Polar' !" has again
been raised, and the venerable walls of our l'4ll-
- defaced and disgraced, with an effrontery,
surpassing indeed in fully that which inarhed the
memorable epoch of the accession of Mr. PereLval
and his friends to office,

" 1114 MAjexty," we we►e then told by Mr. Per-
eeral, conceived hitn•elf bound by hit regarris.;:ir
the e.tablishaients mid religion if his country. to di.a
pose of the administration of his affair,' to tither
hands than those so which it hod been lately entma-
ed."

L 4.1 Grenville and his friends 'muted, with
dutiful respect, to the 'toys' pleasure, and retired
will, the self-graitulations of conscious rectitude.—.
The ignrwauce of one class of their accusers, who
Were pleased to deem Lord Dosetch's Bill " nit in-
Iteration hostile to ee Estu6lislted CArivh," has
been triumphantly exposed in Lord Grenville 's letter
to Dr. Gasktii, the perusal of *hie!, I sincerely re-
commend to those who may have liken misled by a
charge so inconsiderately made, and who may not
hove adverted to the refutation. At the same time,
I wish them to turn to the Act of the 14th July,
1204, passed under the auspices of Lord Eldon, as
Lord Chancellor and Speaker of the House of
Lords, hot who, fortunately, upon that occasion,
escaped the animadversions of Dr. Gaskin.
From the period of Lord Grenville 's retirement
from office, as chaise of his political opinions has
been manifested ; on the contrary, they have been
re-urgell, with all the force of reason mid eloquence,
in Parliament, throughout the session of IStift.
Under th. sr circumstances, nevertheless, within the
course of a from weeks, we have read the pressing
overtures of Mr. Percevul to Lord Grenville and
Lord Grey, Meiling them to resume the reins of
Government !—This invitut iOn must either have 'wen
transuaithql by Mr. rerceval at tlw spontaneous coin-
inutoil of Ills Majesty ; or it must have miaowed
its the conviction of his own mind, that 'Lord (:rest-
tittle wee a person to wham the P,Urdia uship of" our
establishments au Church and Mute" could be safety
confided, and that the accession of his L ilsaiin
roust necessarily add weight sod stability to His
Majesty's councils. In this view, soil it ia impeeei-
ble to see it in any other, are we now to I* gravely
told, that the subordinate interests of our Umversity
are to be esteemed less safe in the halide of -Leal
Grenville ill ni to those of either of his competi:ors?
It is not my object. Sir, to enter into say *O-
tiose. comparison. of the claims of the respective
candidates ; my purpose is rather to sup port what
I reactive to be the just bias of Inv own opinions,
by that description of authority which has perhaps
the highest claim to deference on the question that
has been an indiecreetly raised. The class of au•
dimities which I consider MOW relevant. is that of
distinguished Prelates mid Dignitaries of the Esta-
blished church ; but before I proceed to cite them,
1 must b: g to refer to the dm !amino of Mr. Pitt,
on the debate on the 2511. of March, 0405: " 1
thought." said Mr. Pitt, " that such couceesions
to Ills Majesty's Roelof. Catholic subjects Wight
have befit granted, by an United Parliament, un-
der tech guards and ities for oar civil Mid

ing to have a fall discussion of the iptestion, in a
Committee sf the whole Ilium, observing, that
I. the concession must be accompanied by regain-
finis. pr,onision, and arrangement."
I will now, Sir, without soy comment, proceed
to adduce a few of the recorded opinions of eminent
Pride a. on the great political question, on which
Loitl is considered to be at issue witlt
competitors for the Chancellorship of this Univer-
sity.

COV E NT-GA 1) R "'TRH ATR E.
Last night, the comedy 'of The fray to Get
Married 111.411 pet funned to a very respectable
house—respectable, not only in point of numbers
and appearance, but also from the uniform or-
der arid good (70ndlict that prevailed. The play
is must excellently east. Miss Norton, as Julie
Faidkner, delighted the audience, and was, in
part,cular, succesaful in those parts where pathos
was most required. hi the scene, obese her fa-
ther proposes siticule, as the termination to their
misfortunes, she was pre-eniinently affecting and
impressive. Etertou played Captain Faulkner,
and also succeeded well. Mundell, as Caustic,
was comic iii the extreme, and drew from his Lush-
tors repeated bursts of laughter. And Emery, in
Toby A//spice, and Farley, in Dick Daskall, filled
up the measure of humour. The leading charac-
ter is the Comedy, Mat of Tangent, fell to the lop of
Jones, and it never could fall into biter hands.--
fit was throughout excellent in the portraiture of
the part, and literally convulsed the house with
laughter. The applause, so deservedly bestowed,
seemed to animate-him to fresh exertion, and, to the
last scene, be kept up the spirit of the character
with unexampled eclat. We have rarely seen a per-
former so loudly applauded ; and, after the fetter-
dance, he was honoured with three distinct rounds
of plaudits. Mrs. Gibbs was a capital Clementine:
Allspice ; and, with Mrs. Davenport, in Lady Sor-
rel, obtained many Nattering testimonies of pub-
1k approbation. In short, from the exquisite act-
of the various performers, stimulated to make
new efforts to please, by having to play to the
first perfectly polite and t 6iet audience since the
season commenced, and from the feelings of their
auditory, at seeing the end oh those disgraceful
scenes, which have so long defaced the finest
Theatre in the world, and brought our national
character into suspicion, if not into disrepute ; we
have seldom seen a piece of public amusement •p-
-pear so entirely satisfied and delighted, as on this
occasion. After the play, Mr. Jones had the
pleasure of announcing the performances for the
ensuing night, without interruption, for the first
time *mice the theatre opened. Don Juan again
afforded an opportunity for the display of Grimaldi's
powers ; and this, like the play, was received with
unbounded satisfaction, good humour, and ap-
plause.
With respect to the deceased row (for dead as a
dacat it certainly is, and, we trust, without the dan-
ger of a resawgate), if tiostninger from the country
had dropped into the Louse to see the fine, having
previously read the account,' of it in mine of the
_ _

most candid daily Prints, such as The 31—; C—!e
and T—mes, he would certainly have thought
they were the most audacious, lying newspapers on
the face of the earth ; for all was peace and her-
loony ; and, of the play, not a syllable was lost. A
buff-dozen (positinetts net mere) friends to the de-
purled, (who are either descended from the ancient
serpenterii, or allied to the modern geese, for
both.are famous for hissing) endeavoured to raise
that pleasing sound, so natural to Olean; which
is caused by pressing the tongue against the
palate, and emitting sound through a ignall aper-
ture and the teeth ; but they were either confound-
ed iato dilence, by thunders of general applause, or.
by being left to themselves, frightened to quiet-
-015,
'4.ACY.II by the sounds thoterselves had made."
Now, then, Jahn (lull way enjoy his rational amuse-
talents ated ancient favourites in raise and peace ; and,
we doubt not, but that overflowing houses will soon
compensate the proprietors for their sufferings
under an unheard of persecution. Not that
we do net expect to see some attempts made
to revive the irregularity that has so happily
terminated its career; hut, as we have stated on
former' occasions, we hare no fears of their sue-
eras ; for, after the eyes of the public are open-
ed to the shame and iniulnity of the foinentors
of these disorders, it would be treason against
John Ball, for one moment to suppose Ittm
capable of abetting or aiding so vile a purpose.
The house cleared immediately on the fall of the
curtain, in the most perfect order.

direction or Mrs. Tanwuns, Patroness. and Sir

At the late agricultural niecting, held at Altring-
ham, Mr. BOTT, of Shrewhridge fern'. near Nant-
wich, exhibited his Suffolk marts and stallions,
with their produce this year ; which stock was
highly approved by the amateurs. He also shewed
his breed of beautiful long-horned bullsand heifer.,
his Leicester rams and theevee, and his valuable
breed of pigs, known as the New Cheshire pig+.
This stock contributed greatly to the amusement
of the day, and was au evident proof of the im-
provement that Limy be obtsined in breeding farm-

This gentleman, by the rules of the Society. (he
being a member) could only shew stock for two
premiums, which were voted him by the judges,
namely, a silver cup. value two guineas, for the
best long-horned hall ; and silver cup, value ten

MRS. GALINDO'S LETTER.
_ TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.
Snit—l hare for some time hack seen advertise-
ments in the papers for the publication of it Letter
from • person callieg herself Mrs. Galindo, to
Mrs. Siddens. I could nut, without sorrow and
indignation, observe, in your paper of yesterday,
that the fernier Ludy had put her threat into exe-
bon. I say threat, Sir, fur l.have no dotilo it was
a 'chew, to extort money from Mrs. S. or to in-
duce her to give up a bond of Mr. Galindo's for
10001. which sum, it is admitted, in the publication,
Mrs. S. most kindly lent to this most ungrateful
woman. I must here premise, Sir, that Mrs. Sid-
duns is personally unknown to me; but, I hope,
though, frotn conscious innocence, she has nobly
spurned at this base attempt at extortion, through
she IMS disuppoitited the expectations of the .cur.
Mous author, by disdaining to stifle the publica-
tion ; I trust she wilt apply to the laws of her
country fur justice against this slanderer.
I was induced, from perusing your paper, yesterday,
to purchase the work in question. Would to God !
for the honour alumna nature, I had been satis-
fied with the extracts you made. A more tufa-
mouldy malevolent and indeceet publication, Dryer
disgraced the press. It is nut my intention, Mr.
Editor, to take up your valuable colonists, by an-
swering the whole or this moat filthy work ; it is only
my wish to warn the public from forming too hasty
a judgment on the case ; and to point out to them,
the character of the accuser. The charge against
Mrs. S. is, that " seven years ago," she endea-
Toured to alienate the affections of Mr. Galindo
from the authoress of the letter ; and she attempts,
by every ingenious and infamous art, to prove that
she succeeded in tier endeavours. Now, Sir, know,
that this libeller, who most impudently dares to as-
mine the name of Mrs. Galindo, was, and is, Miss
Gough, who made a few unsuccessful attempts, as
an actress, at Covent-garden Theatre, some years
back; that she formed a strong, and, perhaps,
fatal attachmeut"* to Mr. Galiiido, for whom
she acknowledges she sacrificed ~ more than
dente can excuse:" that she tried to persuade
him to marry her, knowing he had a wife and three
children; I say, Sir, knowing—for she actually
wrote a letter to the poor, deserted, lawfal wife of
her gallant, offering her a sum of iniiiiry to give op
all claims to her linshand, and to give it smiler her
hand that she had never been married. A subscrip-
tion was raised iu Bath, for the support of the
much-wronged wife and helpless babes; and this
letter was 'hewn. as a proof of the legality of the
marriage. The offered bribe having been spurned
with honest indignation, Miss G. determthed. to
brave all, assumed the mune of Galindo, and
has ever since contrived to deceive her friends into
the belief that-she is the lawful wife of Mr. G—.
;Mrs. Siddons, amongst the rest, I am certain, must
have been impost;il on, or she never would More as-
sociated with her. These. Mr. Editor, &afro fr.'".'
NOW* Sir, is such a person to be credited! Is the
excellent and spotless character of Mrs. Siddons to
he overturned, in a day, by the breath of such a
calumniator—by the kept-mistress of a married
man ? Forbid it, justice ! NoW, Sir, let us ex.
amine Mtn the motives of this publication. Miss
Gough begins her letter by stating, that the pri-
vate injuries of an individual cannot be interesting
to the public—Granted ; but she well knows, that
scandal, generally speaking, is. unfortunately. too
much sought after. She says, she has been the
victim of Mrs. S. for .6 seven miserable years."—
Miy, then, not make the gircurnstances known till
now ? Why make then* known at nll7 She affects
to give, as a reason (anticipating such a question)
that she had " dcterniened not to make the affair
public, till the had discharged her pecuniary obli-
gations to Mrs. Siddous." flow comes she. then.
to break her resolution? The pecuniary obliga-
tion is acknowledged to remain in full force. The
motives, Sir. are plain. Miss G. who has an ad-
mirable portion of low cunning, 'rpm thne--.. I
and my keeper owe Mrs. S. 10001.—The present
disturbances at Covent-Garden Theatre have
caused • greet revolution in the Theatrical world.
The 0. P.'s are furious against Kenable and all his
family—even Mrs. Siddons;s talents are forgotten
in the vengeance of this mob—She has thought
proper to shun me of late—l'll be revenged-11.6
is the time ! Net a moment'a to be lost ! I will
threaten her with an exposure of her private letters,
this will naturally alarm her ; few persons can wish
their confidential letters to meet the public eye.
(God forbid that some of mine should he exposed 1)
She will forgive our debt, to hush the matter up ;
and we are 1,0001. the richer. If not (for, knowing
well the honest dignity sad purity of her mind, I
have my doubts, whether I can terrify her), at all
events, all the 0. P. party will eagerly purchase
any scurrility against the fiemble family, and either
way it will answer my purpose." The motives, Sir.
I trust, of the letter, are sufficiently evident ; but
Miss Gough has sully faded in her proofs; indeed,
the latter. of Mrs. S. are sufficient to prove the
futility of the accusation; they will flash conviction
on the minds of all liberal people. Is it likely, that
Mrs. S. would convey her expressions of attachment
to Mr. G. by means of letters to his (stappoterl)
wife! for Mite G. confesses they were generally
'm stireckd to her." She says. there were several
Pals a.

winch excited her suspicion. and some lierindigna-
tion. Flow comes it thaw do not appear ? I, it
to be supposed, that the woman, who ran be
artful enough to torture the most iotencent eXpres-
film's, from their original meanitig,/to answer her
base 'purposes, would nut have puldisiied these
letters, which neeelerl no elucidation by italics,
or tnuendoe, by notes, to exploit) ? Where are
the letter. she, " by accident, became possessed
of?" By accident, I suppose, they do not ap-
pear. • " Oh, shame! where ie. thy blush !" This
is a favourite expressiou of this Lady, and, When
I read it, as applied to Mrs. S. I could not but
think of the deserted wife and children. Could it
be imagined that this Lady, who appeals to the
public to pity the situation of a " mother with
three inuocent and yet infant children, sinking
under accumulated erraligs," could boast of having
kept a curriele, and lived in lusury, kuowing that
the three lawful and ksiiionate children of the man
for whom " she had sacrificed kW much," were sub-
sisting by charity ? Could it be believed, that el,e,
who can, from the mere suggestions of a jealods
imagination, accuse Mrs. S. of sacrificing " honour.
humanity, truth, and delicacy," can shut her
ears to the compleints of un tinfertiinate woman
whom she has rendered miserable ; and whom, to
use her own language, has, by her Illeilllll
that could make her Isle valuable. her children and
herself reduced to comparative bregery, her spirit
briikeii, and her health Unpaired ?" It was ajaiii-
ciple of Lord Kenyon. in all cases of Crime. Cue.
that the accuser eliould always come into Court
with clean hands. How will Miss Gough ap-
pear in such a case ? Fur my own part, Sir, had
I never heard the Hanle of Mrs. Siddons before,
shmild be perfectly satisfied of her iuneeence, by
the softy means which are taken to slateler her. It
is a most malevulent and infamous attack upon a
virtuous female, whose character has been fur
years the admiration of all who knew her. It is
made by a disappointed pretender to a profession,
to the highest pinnacle of which Mrs. Siddons has
been raised by the unanimous voice of the British
nation:—end the character, motives, and views of
the author, are equally base and contemptible.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,

To the EDITOR The BRITISH PRESS'.

Ste—ln your paper of the 90th of last month;
mister the lived 4. Private Correspondence," is an
extract of a letter from Walcheren, evidently calcu-
lated to mislead the pnbhc opinion, by exagge-
rated statements, unfounded assertion*, and false
positions. To correct the mischievons inten-
tions of its writer, he pleased to insert the follow-
ing, the truth of which may be relied on :
This island is sufficiently insulated to prevent
the French or Dutch from effecting a lauding Ise-

tweet, Asemende arrei-Cma peeve; -wieeleas ettiverpt
say be successfully opposi.d by the batteries of our
troops, as the enemy caleiot come down, at night,
in one tide, in sufficient force, through the possaie
called in Dutch Zeud ('reek, and in English Wol-
fart's Dyke Channel ; becanse our gun-boats, lying
within puint-blank shot of their batteries, can sink
or destroy say reseals which may attempt to bring
over troops. Our gunpowder being math stronger
and better than that of the enemy, the guns of our
butteries, Opposed ni their's, on South &rebind,
coo Jowl their trenspints much wore than they
can our gun-boats.
Our brave Nasal Commanders will, I am per-
invaded, never permit the enemy to assemble within
reach of their guns, a fleet of transports, sufficient
to bring over 1000 men, with fikld-pieces, entrench-
ing tools, &c. but should sneh au inconsiderable
force escape the vigilance of our Naval Com-
manders, what could they effect? They must lay
down their arms, surrender prisoners of war, and
add so many to the number of their countrjuieu
already ii. English prisons.
The situation of the inhabitants, by the expendi-
ture of the troops and shipping, is greatly amelio-
rated ; neither shopkeepers, publicans, or other
houses, public or private, have reason to complain ;
and the money, thus put into ciicolat on. pervades
every channel of industry. The lower class are re-
lieved by the increase of work, and augmentation
of wegi a.
The communication with the continent. for cum-
inercial purposes, is rendered more ililficint, but
not mu off. Personal communication is riot suffi-
ciently restrained ; new faces, both from France
and Holland, are daily seen in our streets, en.l no
one knows by what route, or for what purpose, they
come upon the Island.
With the neighbouring islands, we have frequent
intercourse ; schuyts from the two Beet-lauds are
daily arriving in the harbours of Flushing and
Nliddleburgh, laden with provisions; insomuch,
that their cargoes begin to find a tedious sale, at
moderate prices. hlsity respectable sales have late-
ly been made, at Flushing and Middleburgh, of
butter, %Vestphalia hams, rim:died tongues, liologea
sausages, and smoked beet; all from the continent.
since our possession of Waleheren, at reduced
prices ; good tuts-butter, from Holland, may now
be quoted at 10 stuyvrrs a pound, and on the
decline. Sugars and coffees ars fallen 50 per cent.,
and abundant in the markets. Meats, indeed, are
scarce, mad dear, arising from the great quantity
by the sea and land forces; nevertheless, beef
has been hitherto supplied at six and a half to
seven stenos a-pound. More than three-fourtlis
of the inhabitants of this island lived principally
on vegetables and milk, in the Gest of times ; they
are, therefore, little inconvenienced by the high
price of aurat.• The peasants, at the expense of
the inhabitants of the tows., are making rispitl-for-
tithes. The writer is in the ha'ait of contersing
with sehippere from the Bevelands,almost daily. and
has never heard one complain of their islands hav-
ing been hammed and plundered by the Fniglish,
Frenib. se Di.teh; on the contrary, they declare
