Mr. Cunning, first Indian Juggler, is finally re-

take the principal parts in paistainiene and broad
farce, but has pledged himself lint to presume to

The interior of this magnificent structure is now
►hewn to the greatest advantage by the beautiful
chandelier which tile ~, iii ate* its centre. To those
who visit the Theatre before the ri►nig of the cur-
tain, the effect of its light is beyond all description.
Like the powerful railionice of the sun. braining
forth in an instant after a summer shower, the glory
of its rays produCes a similes' effect, which is night-
ly hailed by repeated cheers from every part of the
house, and good-humour immediately becomes the
under of the eight.
As a correct description of tills constellation
has never yet been given to the publics we
have been favoured by Mr. CoLetes with the
following particulars, who designed and 'see
clued his herculean task, aided by the exertions
of numerous workmen. in the short space of eigh-
teen days height of the lustre is seventeen
feet, by eight feet nine incites in diameter ; the gas
parsing into the dome at lop is conveyed by the six
tubes which suspend the chandelier (each strong
enough te carry eight hundred weight), mod diem-
touted in the cocks below ; the upper circle has
thirty-six burners, the principal ring eighty-fours
and thrty-eight on the bolts which unite the long
chains of drops to the centre—in all, one hundred
and sixty-eight burners. For this antaxing aug-
mentation of light, which is one-third swore than
tint which Mr. COLLINS has already introduced on
the Apollo lustre in the King's Theatre, he is in-
debted to the ingenious suggestion of a Noble
Member of the Committee, wise slirected that the
chandelier might be so constructed to oohed a light
greeter than any that had ever yet been effected,
with the ;sower to diminish it ■t pleasure. Thus is
beautifully accomplished by the action of ■ lever,
which will tone it either graduelly or instantly,
done to almost total darkness—and loy the sante
power raise it again to all its splendour. The lever
is under the control of the prompter, who by the
sow simple process regulates the light to harmonise
with his scene. •
We have only to add, that it is by far the grand-
•st experiment that has ever yet been tried for
lighting a large area, either by gas, or any other
medium. and 'nothing has so effectually answe►ed
the purpose, reflecting the liiitheon credit on the
Unoninittee for their indefatigable exertions in pro-
moting, by so valuable ass acquisition, the general
interest of the Proprietors.

Aut.?, 'Esq. met-disastimously voted to the Chair.
The CHAIRMAN. in a concise address, expressed
his inability to preside over a Public Meeting, and
declared that nothing but the cause, namely, the
Freedom of Election, could have induced him to
accept of so 'arduous a situation. The purport of
the Meeting wati to return Sir Rohert
Every prisms, um trusted. would obtain a candid

commencing the proceedings was, by reading the
Retoisition

" The Electors of-Southwark, Friends to Preedosi of
Electiou and Parliamentary Reform, will meet on Thursday
eveniug next, at the Nag's Head Inn, Borough, at six
o'clock, for the purpose of inciting Sir Robert Wawa to
become a Candidate to represent this Borough ill Parka.
meat. at the next Gement Election.
" Suothwarlt, Monday, March 43, ISIS."
Mr. 1-141.1. thought it necessary to inform the
Meeting, from the prominent part he had taken, in
conjunction with several of the independent voters
of the Borough, that a few months since he had
handed some Resolutions to Sir Robert Wilson
respecting his becoming a candidate for. Southwark.
Sir Robert at that period thought himself hound to
the electont of Maidstone. and therefore, in costae-
.. .
queonce, °echoed the offer ; but circumstances
having since changed, and a meeting taken place
iit.Sir Robert's !loose, he had mast cheerfully ac-
cepted .of their request. Mr. Hall stated, that in
conversation with Mr. Tierney upon the subject,
this gentleman had expressed himself highly favour.
able to Sir Robert Wilson, as a most eligible and
independent character to represent the Borough of
Southwark. Mr. Hall wished it to be most per-
fectly anderstorid, that lie had not the slightest in-
tention of injuring the interest of Mr. Calvert ; but,
on the emitrary, he trusted that the latter geutle-
man would be returned with Sir Robert. The re-
presentation would then be perfect ; at the present
moment it ,vas well known that they voted in direct
opposition to each other ; and, iu tact, it might be
termed no representation at all. But, iu justice to
Mr. Culvert, he felt it Ins duty to observe, that
upon all great cosistitutionnl questions his vote had
never deviated from the cause of isidependerice. He
hoped they should follow the glorious examine of
the City of Westminster, in returning Sir Robert
free from expense ; and which conduct might sti-
mulate other places to do likewise. He would no
longer delay the time of the Meetiug, but propose
the fallowing Resolut :—
I. That a dissolution of Parliament being at hurl, it is
essential that the Electors of this Borough should takt into
their eunsideratu the propriety of proposing, at the next
General Election. • Grodlesente- of undoubted political iote.

would realty represent the interests of his coustituents mid

That this Meeting are esteivineed that the inhabitants
of this Borough possess the moans of miasmas' two lurk.
pendent Members to Parliament.
3. That in 'skies a view of public nom, their peofessises
and their conduct, iu a public rapacity, they do slot hesitate
to declare that Sir Robert Wilson is the individual they look
forward to with sanguiue expeditious of becoming sue of
their Reperrentatives, returned by the •obought, sunnier.

thug an example to the country, that they may be the means
of producing similar peuceediup iu other parts of the king-
duns.
4. That this Meeting do pledge themselves severally to
somata Sir Robert Wilson at the seat General Elevieu,
provided he accepts the present invittitiou,sud declares him-
self a candidate to represent this Borough. pledging him-
self to support the qnestiou of Parlianieutary Reform, and
as to hie general future conduct if retuntedlo the House of

S. That it is the bounden duty of all free ■nd independent
Electors to rears their Repeeseneatisree free of taproot.:
and that t►is Meeting do recommend subscriptions so be
twinned fur the purpose of defraying the expense atleudiag
the election of Sir Robert Wilson.

rt. That the foregoing Resolutions, signed by the Chair-
man, on the part of this Meeting, who will without delay
forward thematic to Sir Robert Wilson, fur his inspection.

Mr. WZATHEILSTONS, previous to the Resolutions
being put, wished to be informed respretiwe the
politics of Sir Robert Wilson, as lie had puh/tied
a honk cusicerning the poisoning of the troops at
Jaffa, by the order of Bonaparte.
Mr. HALL wished to satisfy the mind of every
elector upon that subject. The book in question
was opposed to him on his trial for the escape of
Lovalett; bin Sir Robert had. with much manli-
ness and candour, declared he had been deceived.
He had written it from no corrupt motive; and the
information he then relied upon, had since turned
out erroireous. Sir Robert had declared himself
for Parlsionentary Reform, and that his exertions
should be directed to bring about so desired r be-
nefit. The speech of Sir Robert to the electors of
Maidstone, net only contained some excellent prin-
ciples, but what should be the political fine of con-
duct he would pursue if he was returned as their
Representative. Sir Robert had always been a
staunch %%lint. The error committed by Sir
Hebert in publishing the above honk, Mr. Hall felt
confident had been cienpletely obliterated by that
event, which all Burope had viewed with 11411111fai.

towards the unfortunate Lavaktte.—/hear, hear,

A person, who seemed disposed to create some
confusion itl the .Meeting, put a variety of pies-
bons across the table to Mr. Hall.

The LN•taw*N requested his name, and desired
he would rise and address the Meeting ; but he po-
s►tively refused to do either, and continued to in-
terrupt the proceedings. He at length gave in the
name of Robert Laiub.• It turned out he wee ■
colleetor of copper" to Mr. Borate, and retired
under marks of disapprobation. Mr. Lamb was
requested by a voter to inform his master of their
proceedings.
Mr. COOPER seco►►ded the Resolutions, which
were passed unaiiinionsly.
Mr. 11* IL apologised in again offering himself
to their notice, but he had omitted to stale, that, in

s conversation with Sir Francis Burdett, the Hon.
Derumet observed, he had known Sir Hubert Wil-
SOH for thirty years, and he was extremely anxious
he should be a Member of the House of Commons,
as Sir Robert was in favour of Parliamentary Re-
form. This character. he thought, well sufficient.
