dangerous ground. It is isrit,,a prise to be iron
by every puny whipster who thinks he has nothing
to do but ohjeot to every item in tht great and ex- ,
tensive scale of the public expenditure. If in
the due administration of justice it" be
spry for a suitor to mime into Court with dean
hands, it is more necessary for a muss stand=
ing forward the leader of the House of Commons
on that which is its moot avowed constitutional
duty, the guardianship of the public purse, to place
himself above all suspicion, and to chew himself a
purely independent man, of high honour, spirit, and
tree patriots e. feeling, inaccessible to the in-
Bunter of nwito and selfish motives. It is, there-
in', lint only with surprise but with regret we
learn that the case of the QUEEN is tai he brought
forward agaitrit the grant to the Duke of CLA-
newer, and that the plea of economy is to be
accompanied by an appeal to passion and preju-
dice. With respect to bre MAJESTY, all that
generous, liberal, and loyal people could effect,
has been accomplished. Castottnii. is Queens
with all the rank and titles ofQuein„sod a provision
suited to a Queen. She wants only that which
no earthly power can bestow, the affection's of her
• Kays) Comforter We know, and can state with con-
fidence, that thisie the feeling of her MAJESTY and
'of her real and snatched friends. But 'it may be
said, although her sob-disuse friends can do nothing
further, fur her MAJSIITY, they may do something
for themselves; .thermay be allowed to turn her
to their own advantage. To this course we have no
objection; it is, we are. sow to say, the ordinary
cootie of stager patriots. All, we ask is, that it be
distinctly avowed and understood.. Of all the vir-
tues necessary to the salvation of the country, eco-
nomy is become the most desirable. and it is there-
fore unnecessary for any man who stands forward as
it: advocate to resort to any foreign uid. A resort
t. prejudice and passion is to he deprec.sted in all
else«, but, 'above all, we deprecate o case of invi-
dious compariscris, exciting and inflaming domestic
strife and personal suimosity in the Royal Family,
which it is the tuitions wish, as it is the interest of
the public to sustain with dignity, and to contem-
plate as a model of domistic peace, happiness, cod
tianquillity. Having condemned any sinister at-
tempt to insishai the feelings of the politic in the
cause of the CRIER, in battle array against the
Duke of CLARENCR, we have disposed of every
tieing that can possibly affect the Resolution of
the House of Commons in favour of the grant
to his Royal Highness. That grant is 6,000/.
altar, as proposed in 1818, necessarily includ-
ing the arrears since accrued. The attempt
to divide it by granting the original annuity,
sod withholding the arrears, is whimsical and
capricious. The foundation of both is the
same. It is the marriage of his Royal Highness
with the Princess of MEININGEN, for the sup-
post of which the }louse of Commons proposed
a grunt to that extent as necessary, but which his
Royal Highness's friends considered insufficient.
Had the marriage been postponed to the present
time it would be competent to the opposers of the
grant to say it should commence from the present
day ; but the very reason, cause, and purpose of
the. grant require that it should have tir• Vete°.
spective efficacy, sod be made contempora-
neous with the marriage. The argument to the
contrary, if good for soy thing, would imply
that the grant is not at all necessary, and that
his Royal Highness, although next presumptive
heir but one to the throne, can and ought to sup-
port his rank and dignity with less means than any
of his younger brothers. It will be in wain for the
real or pretended friends of economy to plead
it in oppiwition to the resolution of the House in
favour of his Royal Highness the Dukt or CLA-
RENCE. The grant has nothing to do with use- •1
lees places and pensions for the support of Minis-
ttrial influence ; on the contrary, the real friends
IS economy must be anxious to loose-rye it Gown
bring confounded with thut corrupt system. If
then the proposed grant to the Duke of CLARENCE
is to be opposed, it must he, as Mr. TIERNEY
observed, to punish hie Royal Highness for not
living too ready to take the public money—a new
discovery in political economy, which has escaped
all its professors up to the present day. The House
of Commons, we are confident, will not surrender its
ideas of justice, propriety, and consistency, to this
new philosophy of some smr of second sight ; still
less disposed will it be to intcrifire what is else to
the rank ai.d place of his Royal Highness in the
State, as a member of the Royal Family, in direct
and immediate succession to the throne, to personal
prejudice, and a combination of views and passions
from which a question of this peril:int- character
stands quite dear.

MR. WEST'S GALLERY,

The company is daily numerous and at the same time se
lect to inspect this Gallery, a ciressantlance which reflects
honour on the public, indicatiog, as it dues, that although
moulders ble requisites of taste and judgment are necessary foe
the due enjoyment of the Exhibition, there are abundant of

well-informed aril finely-constituted minds anxious to flock
to this intellecisal repast. 11 were scarcely worth whit* to
particularize the works more at present. They have been
selected with the best view to the morals and ►eligious im-
pressions of those who resort thither. Every new inspec-
tion enhances the estimation which we at lint expressed for
thole who had the ordering of the Gallery, and the disposi-
tion of the pieces. Mr. NASH has made his taste as predo-
minant in the construction of this Gallery, 111,1 the appro-
priation of the window lights, as his genius has displayed
its prevalence in beautiful arrangement on the exteriors of
public edifices.

THEATRICAL FRACAS.

IDOWIIITIIt IT-
It is a very remterkableeireumstasea that within the space
of about six "tests, two horoe-whippiog assaults from the
same Theatre should come under disenssion at this office.
Thai drat case, about six week* ago, was that of Mr. Win.
sloe, owe of the alailagers of Drury-lane Theatre. who was
, beengerhipped by Mr. Oiciasop, the Proprietor of the Co..
hors Theatre, and •a Saturday evenitig Mr. Elliston,
the pilot-iota Manager and Lessee of Ow Theatre, wu
horsewhipped by Mr. Rudwell, ooe of the Proprietors
of the Adeiphi Theatre in the (lined, assisted by Mr.
O'Callaghan, a performer engaged at the same Theatre, li
arising out of the following eireuinstances:—A cor-
respondence had taken place between Mr. Elliston and
Mr. Rodwell, of the Adelpbi Theatre, and • letter
from the former to the latter gave great offence, so much
se that Mr. Rodwell determined on instant revenge,
and that to he tffeeted by personal depilation to be
Waived me Mr. Elliston, and haring provided himself
with a horsewhip, and procured Mr. O'Callaghan, one
of his performers, to accompany him to Droll-lame
Theatre, they proceeded there about seven o'clock oa
Saturday 'endow, at which time Mr. Einstein was busily
engaged with Mr. Russell, making arrangements for the
grand entertainment to given this rvening to commemorate
the battle of Waterloo. Mr. Rodwell being "known at
the stage-door, fused no difficulty in gaining admittance,
and was sbewte into Mr. Elliston's private room,
where Mr. Elliston entered • few mimics. after. Mr.
Rodwell addressed Mr. Elliston, and asked him if he
was the author of the objectionable letter which lie hail re.
ceived, at the same time bolding the letter iu his hand. Mr.
Elliston, on casting his eyes at it, did not hesitate lit ae-
kuowleging himself the writer of it. Mr. Rodwell then ad.
dressed himself to Mr. Elliston, and railed him a rascally
scoundrel, and followed up his words by giving Mr. Ellistun
a severe since on his hack with • horsewhip. Mr. F.lbsion
did nut timely submit to this attack, but closed in upon Mr.
Rodwell, and • acute ensued between them, and Mr. Ellis-
too being armed with what is called night preservers, consist.
int of a piece of whalebone or cane about I? inches in length,
aad a piece of lead at each end, hr gave Mr. Rodwell two
severe blows on his forehead, each of which inflicted a wound,
and the blood Bowed profusely. Mr. O'Callaghan seized
Mr. Elliston by his arms and held him to prevent hiastrikiac
Mr. Rodwell any more with that instrument. The noise or.
tattooed by this serious affray alarmed the persons in
the theatre, and Mr. Russell RAW after ruined the room,
sad ha was followed by several persons employed is the
theatre. Mr. Russell neterfeted to separate the condiment..
Mr. Rodwell boasting that he had horsewhipped Mr.
Elliston, and Mr. Elliston denying it, when Mr. Rodwell
rusbed moots Mr. Elbstout, anti said to couvince all [ter-
sest that he would horsewhip Mr. Elliston, he would repeat
it, and he struck Mr. Oilskin several times with a horse-
whip. Mr. Elliston then closed upon hint anti forced the
horsewhip from Mr. Rodwell, and htuke it 111
Bond, the Constable belonging to the Theatre, having been
seat for, on his arrival Mr. Rodwell was given into his

to the above circumstances, Mr. Elliston proved by several
witnesses that be was not armed wills the night preserver by
