MOND.FAZELFE OT !AWL
The French journals .bl Thursday List have brought
us the addresses of the two Cha;nbers, in reply to his
itsjesty's speech in opening the session. They Loth
sicelare the warmest attachment to the Royal Charter
—the Peers with less frequent and animated warmth
than the Deputies, but yet in language sufficiently
uneuivoeul and distinct. The Peers talk more of
:gltirnacy —the Representatives of the people ,•xpa-
t:ate more on the blessings or liberty ; but the latter
are full of affixtiun fur the throne, while the Uppc:
Clamber pledge themselves to support the national
freedom with equal firmness as the Royal prerookives.
The' Pe rs tu.: also more energetic and precise in
announcing their determination to put down those
dAngerous and " pernicious doctrines" to which his
Majesty had culled the at:cation of the Legislature.
That passage is ha' obliquely referred to by the Depu-
ties, who insinuate, that a faithful adherence to the
Charter would best Aiwa that strength to the mo-
titrchv which may render it competent to the mainte-
n once of plbiie order, and to the confusion of those
who dare to show themselves its enemies
It looks as if the trial of Cantillon Etna Marinet, for
the plot against the Duke of Wellington, were going
to be seriously commenced.

The subjoined letter, with its accompanying-signa-
ture, has been sent to the friends of Ministers:—
•• Foreign Office. Dec. 2e. 1818.
•• As, mann the nizeting of Parliament.whitit is fixed for Thursday
the 14th of neat month. the House of Commons will immediately
proceed to the choke of a Speaker. and to the consideration of other
matte/sot great importance. I take the liberty to acquaint you that
a full attendance is most highly desirable at the opening of the Ses-
sion.

'THE NATIONAL

NEW CROWN PIECES.

On Minnlay morning the first lune of the new Crown
Pieces took place, not to the Public, but to the Bank clerks..
Every clerk on the establishment received one, for which he
had to sign a book.
This coin willcomplete the series of the new sliver monies.
The obverse is impressed with the effigy of his Majesty, with
the inscription Georgina 111. D. C., Atc. and the reverse has
the figure of St. George encountering the Dragon, surronaded
by the Garter. The edge of the-picee is marked iu raised
letters, with the words defer et tetanus," and the year of
the King's reign. The he'd of the King is modelled iu the
antique style, after the chatacter of the Greeks, and combines
with the gracefulness of the design, the best and most pleas-
ing likness of his Majesty that has yet appeared upon our
coins. In lien of the Royal Arniv, which afford no scope for
the ingenuity of the artist, the subject of the legendary tale
of St. George and the Dragon has been adopted for the re-
verse, and is a well chosen and pleasing allegory, suited to
the occurrences of the times. In the image of the tutelary
saint of England, mounted on a spirited horse, and trampling
upon the fallen dragon, whose body is pierced by the spear,
which has been broken in the encounter, while the Hero
prepares to renew the attack with the sword, is displayed
an obvious allegorical representation of the geniiisdand *alum.
of Britain triumphing over the Demon of Anarchy and Des-
potism. Justly described as our glory and defence (deers et
gatemen) this beautiful coin will transmit to posterity a record
of the great and brilliant events, which, under Providence
ha'e led to the restoration of peace and happiness through.
out the world.

The design and the engraving of the steel die is by Pis
trace', who has lately been employed at the Mint ; and com-
bines an excellence and composition of style unknown in
modern times, and equal to the most brilliant works of the
ancient masters.

We nnderstand, however, flint by order of Government,
the further issue of the new Crown Pieces to the public
been restiained, on fleeoallt at the introduction ihi4 the th e
the name of the Italian Artist who executed it. The tt e e tit
banki,,g bowies :n tri*n hate each received a supply to the
amount of 1001. The remainder will LAI be sent Lack to the

COTTON'S WHARF.

The petition of George Ware (as the Executor of Mr. George
Atkinson, the late lessee), was now read, praying to have a lease of
Cotton's wharf, Tooley4treet, for 21 years after Christmas 1819, at
the yearly rent of 2,3001. and 941. ss. 4d. in lieu of land tax re-
deemed, in terms of the report of the committee on the aVtli of July,
1818, which recommended the letting of the wharf to Mr. Ware.
This report had been referred back fur reconsideration, which re-
solved on letting the wharf by public auction.
Mr. S. Dixon proposed. " That the Court agree to the prayer of
the petition ;" which after as animated debate, was a ;reed to,
with one dissenting hand (Alderman Atkins), and it was referred to
the same Committee to execute it.

COURT OF ,COMMON COUNCIL.
--.......

A letter from Mr. Alderman Atkins was read, expressing his ter
dings to take the office of Mayor. It was ordered, in the usual
form, to be entered on the journals.
KEEPER OP WHITECROSS-STEET PRISON.
Mr. Davies, in introducing a petition from John Piper. complain-
ing of loss sustained by his appointment to be keeper of Whiteaosss
street prison, by the Court of Aldermen, who, in fact, had no power
to make the appointment, was anxious to avoid every thing that
could possibly be construed into an trance to the Honourable Court
over which his Lordship presided. It was not for him to go unto the
question of the privileges of the Court of Aldermen. The Court of
Aldermen did in fact appoint the petitioner as a tit pereon, and no
objection was ever suggested against hischarocter or abilities. The
transaction occupied altogether nearly sixteen months. He was to be
provided with securities, to the amount of tlO,OOOl. He was now
left completely without any provision. The Court of Aldermen had
discovered that they had not the power to appoint a keeper, but that
it was the province of the Sheriffs. This was altogether as severe a
case as had ever claimed their attention. To sppornt him to this si-
tuation was now altogether impossible. Such had been the petitioner's
respect for the Court of Aldermen, that although he might have pro-
cured the favour of others, he had not applied Tor it, while the Court
claimed the right of appointing the keeper. The Court of Aldermen
had Offered 3001. as a compensation for his disappointment. This
was a very inadequate compensation to a man who had held a situa-
tion of 6001. for 9 years previously, and who had been obliged to
give up that situation, at an hour's notice, by the terms of this
appointment. The Sheriffs had lately appointed a Mr. Thacker
The petition was then read. It stated the facts already detailed,
and prayed for 5001. now, and 2301. annually, as a compensation for
his disappointment.
' Mr. Davies moved to refer the petition to a committee, with orders
to report. The motion was then agreed to ; as was a further motioiN
to refer the report to the Gaol Expenses' Committee, in order td
consider what might be a proper compensation to Mr. Piper.

LORD ELLENBOROUGII.

It is reported to be the intention of the Lord Chief Justice
of the King's Bench to retire from a sittiatiou which he has
filled fur above sixteen. years with equal honour to himself
and to his country. It is remarkable that that Court, in so
long a period as sixty.two years, has had no more than three
success►ve Presidents ; but all of these hate been men,wbose
names reflect the greatest lustre on the legal history of their
age. The Esrl of Mansfield was raised to tbr Chief Justice-
ship in November, 1758 ; Lord Kenyon, in Jnue 1778 ; end
Lord Ellenburough, in April 1802. Eminent as the two for-
mer of these peat Judges were fur their talents and virtues,
their successor has maintained the dignity of his high office
with undiminished splendour. He has followed the Most tloos
examples of his prederessors, in their most striking excel_
knees. It was remarked of Lord Mansfield, that Iron) ins
first coming to the Bi nell, lie •set 1l i 11l self to introduce regu-
golarity, punctuality, and dispatch .is, the bosniess of the
Court, Circumstances of inellcutlatile Importance to tl;e

Several songs suitable to the occasion were sung.—lt is
needless to my that the Chairman fulfilled his arduous
duty with the highest degree of satisfaction ; and pre-

The following appropriate lines, which were ex-

vision congenial to the sentiments which pervaded the
hilarity of the day :

Behold 'midst the storms that late ravaged mankind,
And left in their fury such havoc behind ;
How many old friends round the board we can trace,
But not one anioni,tt there that wears a new, face.
The company did not separate till a late hour.

• LORD NELSON.
-...-

The anniversary of the glorious victory of TN FA LOAN.
was celebrated on Wednesday at the White (tart,
Wigmore-street, Portman-square, under the immediate
patronage of the Marquis of Hertford. rie i'ront
the house was brilliantly illuminated, and the name of
our immortal NELSON was surrounded with wreaths of
laurel in variegated lamps. The interior of the roo:n
was decorated with artificial flowers. tied up :vitas
bunches of the same emblem of victory ; and a portrait
*of the HIGRO, exquisitely painted by Hayter at the ex-
pense of the Society, was suspended over the Chair,
enveloped in laurel. A society of most respestab:e
gentlemen sat down to an elegant dinner, the !alit
course of which consisted entirely of game furnishrA
the Noble Marquis, who annually sends an aim%
supply for the celebration of the glorious
gained by Him, whose name will be recorded in ti:e
annals of Fame, till " time shall be no more." P:e
last signal of the Great Captain, England e.fr,rit
furry man to do his duty, was given Lv the President,
and it is but justice to add, that he stuck most herc&n3.r
to the spirit of the toast. Bumpers were the ont.er ?
the day.—ln the course of the evening, the f
the Noble Marquis was given with approprkte
and the conviviality of the meeting was kept ;:p

SURRP.V THEATRE.

The chief novelty at this house, was a burietta in
two acts, founded on the admirable Romance of Sir
Launeelot Creates, in which the principal characters
there described, cre..introduced, with all the . original
eccentricities and humour, imparted to them by
the ingenious Author. • Several excellent songs, chiefly
selections from the best Irish and Scotch .ecappositions,
are introduced ; and the. whole went off to the entire
.ratisfaction of a crowded . audience. The piece was
nillowed by c grand mele,drame, entitled the. Three
'Talismans t which affords a beautiful and interesting
exhibition of Turkish manners. The house has been
Itewly embellished, and every thing belonging to it
ras attractive.

COVENT GARDEN.

Thistheatre re-opened on Monday night,with The new
.musical drama of Rob Roy Macgregor, and the Panto-
.mime. A few trifling alterations have leen effected in
the interior of the house. An additional seat has been
• gained in the pit next the orchestra, part of which, to
make room fin the alteration, is caviled under the
stage-»a plan which apr ears tc place a portion of the
sperformers in a somewhatunpleasant situation. In the
light which ranges along the front of the stage, gas
has been substituted for oil. The pieces were perform-
ed with great spirit, and the favourites of the public
•gained their usual raced of applause. The house was
-crowded, but not iu .so great a degree as on the first
and second Ferformances of Rob Roy.
We must mot omit noticing, on this occasion, •the
great degree of perfection which has been attained in
• the mode of warming and regulating the temperature of
the theatre. . In no part of this large building does
there exist any variation sufficiently great to cause an
feeling.

Mr. UROUGHAM then brought forward his Motion for de-
stroying as far as possible,

relating to, the repealed Property-tax.
Mr. V. NA ITTA RT could slot agree to this Motion, which he
conceived would be productive of no good. With respert
to the Property-tax, the Hon. Gent. might he assured, that
the papers connected with it were not kept with any view to
a teals:o of a tax, which having been repealed. he had nu in-
tention again to attempt to revert to during a time of peace.
'1 he 'testi nctiou of these documents, howvser, could not at

METROPOLIS.

Mr. BUOUGHAM observed, that the Committee appointed
two vents ago to inquire into de. Education of the Lower
Orders in the 3letropolis, had made a Report and nothing
snore, and on that aerount he had intended to have moved at
an earlier period to have lord the same Committee revived.—
The object of the Committee had been to point out the proper
remedy for the evil complaided,—the defective education of
the Lower Orders. The Meinbcrs of that Conmiittee had
been of opinion, that the interference of Parliament was
necessary. The object of that interference, he conceived,
should be to obtain a grant for the support of the schools for
the education of the poor. But he wan averse to the grant
being made permanent. as such a proceeding would fleet's-
warily occasion a diminution of the funds contributed by pri-
s ate charity. 'the want both of houses for schools and of
Louses for the tcachers,should he =applied by Parliament.—
The evidence that had been laid before the former Committee
aufficiently proved that only a small stem wriuld by required.
Wisest he saw due amount of the grant made to Ireland for the
same purpose, he could not dwarf that 'some thing would be
obtained fur this country. The stun of 400.1001. had been
granted for Irish society schools, though of the utility of that
grant he entertained doubts, as he was compelled to think
that some where or other there had been a misapplication of
the money. The revenue of the schools amounts d to Immo
a year, and scarcely 2,100 children were educated for that
sum, and in tact ()iffy one half the sum had been accounted
for. The Bishop of Halibuts bind stated the number at 2,500,
but Mr. Howaid had suede them ammun to only 011 v-third of
titat number. There was undoubtedly a wide difference be•
twixt the manacement of their fonds and that of the tither.
nian schools in London. The fluid for the support of these
sthoels did not exceed at the must 6,0001. a year, and sup-
ported 310 schools while the chattered society may maintained
33 schools, scarcely one-tenth of the number kept np hi the
othes A, and nu education conlil be better than that of the Hi•
le:rnian schools. The Hon. Guittleman concluded by musing,
tf.at a Sr:feet Committee be appointed to inquire into the edn•
cation of the lower orders of the Metropotia, and that they
shoold communicate minutes of the evidence, and report
their opinion from time to time to the House.—Agreed to.

accafision

The Asiatic Mirror presents several incidents relative
to the Indian war, which were not notioed in the official
disintch&s. It appears, that shortly prior to the great
battle of Maheidpoor, the Bhye (a Princess of Holk:kr's
family t was cruelly murdered. She had been previously
placed in confinement in consequence of her having
wished to prevent a war with the English. A Council
was then held by Rooahun Beg, Rooshun than, and
Gltuffon Khan, by whom it was deterasined that she ,
giodia be put to death • and she was accordingly taken
down to the bed of the river and publicly beheaded.—
Several quarrels of er this took place beer's= the inf.
ferent Chiefs, but the influence of Roodittto Beg pre-
vailed, and the battle was fought. The omeequence,
however, was fatal to him. The battalions Which he
commanded were cut up and dispersal, himself wounded,
and his influence annihilated. On the south of the
Netbudda the agents of the Peishwa bad taken great
pains to seduce the Sepoys in our service, and had in-
duced several belonging to the Bombs, Presidency to
desert, partly by threatening to inflict Craddes end
oppressions on their families and friends La conse-
quence, the Civil and Military Authorities at all the
British stations mitre particularly etiolated to extend
protection to all the Emilies of Sepal!' who sought
refuge within our territories. This measure, joined to
the subsequent defeats which the Pahhwaicxpereitleed,
had completely put a gulp to the desertion sg the
Sepoys. •
