GUILDHALL.

_ .....
Muck of the timeof the Magistrate was occupied in hearing sum-
monses agairst inhabitants of St. Andrew's, Holborn, for not
paying the watch-rate„ principally occupiers of houses in Plumb-
lll'ree and Robin Hood-courts, Shoe-lane, and in Field-lane, which
had never before been assease to tax or rate, though let at rents of
181. to 3111. per annum. The parties all pleaded poverty, but Mr.
Alderman Magnay told them if they were too poor to pay the
rates, they ought no: to keep houses, but make room for others
who could lie had not the power to remit or excuse, but was
bound to issue a warrant of distress against defaulters, if the parish
pressed it.
. . . . . _

some of the parties obtained a month's grace. and against others
Mr. Jogroo, the vestry clerk, said he should require diorites.
warrants.

A Mr. Spencer, a professional man, who had been summoned
for one quarter's rate, which he had already paid, produced the
collector's receipt to prove that fact, and declared he should expect
a guinea for his loss of time in attending this office, and if it were
not paid, he should summon Mr. Jolson to the Court of Requests
, for it.

Foamiest:a INN.—Mr. Peto, the budder, was also in the list
of defaultem. Ile has, it semis, purchased Furnival's Inn, and
11. ls. was demanded for watching foe one quarter that part of the
Inn abutting upon Holborn.
Mr. Pero said, he should be ready at any time to Rive the gentle-
men of the parish a sum in charity, but, as the Inn was extra-pa-
rochial, gey he would not. The Inn was somted from depre-
dations by large iron gates. and by two watchmen paid by himself.
Mr. Jopson replied, that Mr. Peto would be assessed to the
poor's rate also in a few days, and then they would try with him
whether or not the Inn was extra-parochial

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

After the play of Mucked& last night, a new ballet,
called Spanie4 Gallants, was performed, and to speak at
once OUT judgment, we will say, well and moat pleasingly perform-
ed. The awry is a simple one. Frabririo and Vaccutio (Mr.
Oscar Byrne and Mr. Noble), two Spanish gentlemen, are in love,
'the one with Censtantia (Mrs. 0. Byrne). the other with LIIIIIIII
(Mrs. Noble). Seignior Don Pompeii() (Mr. Blanchard), an old
' doting lover, is discovered by these gallants to be serenading at
Constantia's window ; they interrupt his holy worship at the shrine
of bandy, and by way of scheme, insist upon his giving the same
love-inspiring strain beneath the window of Laura. He afterwards
writes to -the Tattier of Gong intim', propotarg maa:lc; the letter is
banded loth* lady, who soon has an oporatuolty 'tig it to Fran-
as widch they concert with Valenti* Laura, to play
a trick upon the old Don: they copy the latter and address it
to Pan, the father of Loma, and thus involve the old po-
dding* in a dilemma, and the fathers too. The latter prepare wt.
cordisally for the marriages ; sod some pretty dancing occurs here_
The Milt may easily be guessed ; an explanation ensues, and the
fathers, as in duty bound, yield to the impulse of the lorcrs.—
TM place bad some very fine passages In it, breathing a sentiment
purely afectioruite ; and the music, though by nu means original,
was well calculated to sustain the Interest of the piece. The house
wan crowded to excess, and received the ballet with evident plea-
sant. -

Oor accounts from Singapore state, that land was considered of,
so little value there, that every person was at liberty to take as
much as they liked. The population of Singapore was increasing
very fast, and free traders were flocking in great numbers to that
settlement. European gbods were plentiful and cheap, bat pro.
duce bail risen considerably. Tin was 23 dollars per bankul, and
opium was very high, on account of little being in the market.

We called in at these rooms last Might, to look at the

Mlle inspectors, previously to a sale, and we certainly derived a
most uireaggeted treat. The paintings alone were a sufficient
gratlielition r we noticed some few originals amongst then), and
particularly one of Lemparello's, which attracted the attention of
• most nwpacsabls sad anans company.— 2:146- itriaitva• is
truly superbt a very varied ..tion of curiously wrought vases
were much admired, and the superb chased and computed gold l
and silver plate excited the rulintration of the tympany, by the
highly finished manner in which they were executed.
The curiosities were not numerous. but very select and iwnique.
There are a great number of French time-pteces, and sideboards
with marble tablets, and others most admirably ornamented with
I Inlaid work of brass and steel. We observed our or two very fine
geological specimens, and a collection of curiously manufactured
china, which formed a prominent feature in this choice assemblage
°fart, and was much and deservedly admired. We regret our in-
ability to enter more 'descriptively into the various objects ex-
hibited, which the want of apses alone prevents as from doing.

SPAIN.

MADAM, SrpT. 9.

The King and the Royal Family still remain at St. iiderons,,,
The Captain-Oeneral of the kingdom of Orer.ada has transmitted
to the Minister a list of the Revolutionists taken at Tarifa, and shot
at Alnieira. They were thirty-two in number, amongst whom was 1
Lieut.-Colonel Juan Lux, Captains Bernardin ltustamente. Louis
de Rute, and Charles Mice, and Ensign Joseph Verbis. We re-
mark in this list the name of a certain Montarlot. t
Sir William A'Court has received from the Kim• his audience of
leave. lie has set out for Lisbon, as Ambassador to his Most
Faithful Majesty.

We have received the following letter from Bayonne,
dated Sept. 7 :
" Orders are just received for the immediate embarkation of four
companies of ca.moncers and one company of sappers and miners.
Their strength may be computed at two hundred and thirty of the
choicest troops of the class in France, having been selected as the
reserve of the army on its advance into Spain. The transports are
engaged, and the greatest activity will prevail to forward them to
their destination, Cadiz, with the least possible delay. The vessels
will load ordnance stores of every description, and a number of can-
non of large calibre. The arsenals here can readily furnish every •
thing required, being completely stocked, and in fact overloaded.*
" Not a courier of any nation lies either passed or repassed
within the last eight days, The news continually received from
Spain all concur in stating the unsetticd and agitated state of that
unfortunate country, particularly the provinces of Galicia and An-
dalusia.

" Every thing is tranquil hive ; our garrison consists of the
2d Ite,:ite.ent of Swiss, and the 4th Light Regiment of the Line,
with the Artillery, Ice. ; they may be computed at 3,000 men.
The Swiss Regiment daily expects to receive orders to enter Spain,'
and be relieved by the 34th Regiment, now at Pau. It is the
general opinion here among the beta informed, that this country,
in order to keep quiet possession of Spain, will be compelled to aug-
ment their force very considerably."
• Our " depression" hardly answers to the word ajaiseemerit.
It means the suffering under a burthen.
t The Editor of the Etude, In a note, says, this Is the celebrated
Emmet de Illontarlot who had proclaimed himself Supreme Presi-
dent of the French depublic.
The Journal du Commerce of Monday states the number of
gunners at 210, and adds, that the quantity of powder and ball was
considerable, with 4,000 muskets.

Clarke stated, that being informed of the toasts sustairenl by a,
great number of licensed victuallers in the district, and of the Lon-
nous' depredations they were exposed to by the robbery of their
quart and pint pots, he determined upon ascertaining the manner
in which the ti tents disposed of the stolen propcny. On Tucionty,

and in a corner of an cpartment there wits fixed, over a stunt:
furnace, a machine for dissolving pots and other articles of that
aterial.
The defendant declared that he never melted a pewter pa: or
pint in hi. life. The pewter taken pivot-slim) of by the officer seas
rust was calocted front old pewter plates, old pewter spoons, and
old bottoms.
The 3lagist-ate observed, that he was satisfied all the pewter
raw proiliti•ed was stolen from licensed vietuallas, and received by
the whcm he immediately convicted under the abuse
