matters of form. Mr. Hanbury, or some other greet
brewer, has influence enough in the parish to obtain or
withhold licensestium how ,which by the terms of their
leases are bound to deal with him in the article of his
trade. In one point it is in evidence that,for years past, few
houses have been licensed excepting those in Mr. Han-
bury's interest. But this is not the whole extent of the
evil ;—undcr the name and appearance of beer-houses,
many are nothing more than gin shops, and some of these
are stated to be kept even by relations of Magistrates.
Will not such a system ns this call for enquiry ? Can
any thing be more prejudicial to the morals of the peo-
ple, that the sufferance of gin-shops, which undermine
the health of the poor in the xtrise ratio in which they
sap their moral energies ? Are these decoys of vice and
misery to remain sanctioned by the influence of their
relationship to Magistrates ? And is any thing more
calculated to bring the Magistrates into disrepute, than
the very statement of such a connection ! But we lament
to say, this is not the only evil brought to light in the
volume before us. . _

We do hope and trust, that none of the Magistrates,
whose corrtpt conduct has been brought to light by this
Report, will be longer suffered to disgrace the commis-
sion of the peace.
IVhat can be said to such transactions developed as
the alteration of the Poor-rates in Bethnall-green ? The
purity of the Magistracy is vitally necessary to the well-
being of the people ; for if those who front their educa-
tion, rank, and station in life, ought to set an example of
good conduct, betray the lowest and Lasest passions, what
can be reasonably expected of the lower orders, who have
to contend with in'norance, poverty, and every species of
temptation ? %Ve have not time, at present, to pursue the
contents of this volume further; but we recommend it to
the attentive perusal and consideration of all those who
have at heart the dearest interests of their country.

vuttil last year, fur paying the arrears of the Cisil List, bad
been applied.
Mr. VC...1-MART said, it had been applied to the purpose for
which it hail been granted; and that all arrears were paid up
to the sth of April last.
Lord Fiu.kestoa observed, that, at any rate there was, even
in these times of economy, an arrear on the Cis it List, in one
year of 2i7,0001. With respect to tie' Income-tax, the Right
Hon. Gentleman (the Chancellor of the Exchcquct) had said,
the tax would not affect the manufacturers; butt au Hon.
Baronet (Sir It. had stud it would affect them very ma-
terially, and he was inclined to take the opinion of the Hun.
Baronet in preference to that of the Right lion. Gentleman.
'rite It:ght Hon. Gentleman had said, the attempt to resist the
renewal of the property-tax was a cony:lacy amongst the rich,
who (lid pay it, against flue poor, who did dot pay flue tax. This
was language which the Noble Lord highly deprecated us tend•
Fug to set the rich and poor at variance.
Lord lilNNman defended the tax, and contended, that the ex.
planations so frequently given by the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer to observations of` gentlemen, not made in the faireat way,
were so many proofs of his sincerity..
Mr. Fon i.Es opposed the tax.
Mr. GIIENFEI.I. opposed the tax in any shape, anal said, the
imposition of it on the public was peculiarly hard, as there was
at this time a sum of 12,000,0001. Unclaimed Dividends, in the
hands of the Bank of England. One question he wished to ask,
anal that was, wlietiter, if the Hight lion. Gentleman should
carry this odious tax auto effect, he flattered himself with fin-
ing any respectable persons among the body of Magistrates
who would assist him in carrying it into execution.

11211 Y ESTIMAT FS.

The Marquis of 1,A;:s;oriv;;;;;i:1, .0.114 if he wanted any
avology for calling the attention of the House to the reduction
of the Estimates before them, he would find that apology in the
respectable petitions before them. It was their duty to redeem
the pledge given to the public, to reduce the taxes ; but instead
of that. they had been most unjustifiably called on to increase
the public burdens, by keeping up d standing army, which our
aneestois would not have t mimed. He called on the House
to address the Crown, that these Estimates might be revised or
reduced. After a very long speech, his Lordship moved an ad-
dress to the Prince Regent, stating that they had observed
with deep concern that it was intended to keep tip a large mi-
litary eatablishment, unexampled in former times ; and pray-
ing that lw would be pleased to order a 'eduction of that es-
tsblishmt in, for the purpose of reducing tile public burdens.
Eat RST had listened to the Noble Marquis with at-
tention; but he could not see any great economical advantage
that could result to the country from his suggestions, having,
at the same time, a just regard to our own security and that of
our Colonies.

The Martinis IVEI.LESLEV contended that our Esti,.
hlishinetit would not give us influence on the Conituent of
Lucille; hut pc, haps it was to be :ept Ili, to read to the Sine•
reigns of Europe a great moral lesson that large :Military Esta-
biohmetsts were very dangerous. lie concluded by supporting

meat in 1792, wa♦ the fazal neglect which pri.‘eiitcd us Emu

niencement of the war. Ile supported the• piopused Peace

GERMAN PAPERS.

VIENNA, FEB. 27.—Our Court Ga.:die of yesterday
contains the Treaty concluded at Paris ou the '2iith of
Sept/tither lust, betweat the Emperors of Austria and
Itus,ia and the King of Prussia.
GENOA, FEU.YI.—The English troops who were still
here, and did duty jointly with those of his Majesty the
King of Sardinia, are mostly gone, and the rest arc on
the point of embarking. Their admirable conduct, and
the constant harmony which the British troops always
maintained with our garrison, makes their departure ge-
nerally regretted ; and justice demands that we pay them
the tribute of our sincere gratitude for the maintenance
of public truiquillity and good order, which were so fre-
quently threatened at an earlier period.
BERLIN, FEB. 14.—A regulation concerning the Li-
berty of the Press is in town, which will contain every
thing relative to the trial and determinatimi of the abuses
of the freedom of the Prey, and to the prosecution of the
crimes arising from this abase before the Court, which
will have the jurisdiction in such cases. The Liberty of
the Press is now an advanuage which we can the less dis-
pense with, us the spirit of enquiry which spread through
the whole people in the last wars has proved itself one of
the main supports of the State. A great change is at hand
among our Newspapers ; in future there is to appear one
official Paper, skilwri up with the greatest scrupulousness,
eimmining only official and quite certain intelligence, and
therefore subject to the Censurer; but the number of
other papers will be unlimited, as ill England and
elsewhere.

GUILDHALL.

Saturday, Joho Pankhurst was .hawed with stealing a
quantity of money, from time to time, the property of Mr.
Joh*, of Fleet Market. The prisoner, it appeared, was in the
service of the prosecutor only two months. and into which he
had entered in rather a distressed state. During the time men-
tioned, however, his appearance and means bespoke a sudden
improvement; and a quantity of money Ining missed from the
till, suspicion fell upon him. Another person, who had been
in the service of the prosecutor seemsl years, having an oppor-
tunity of observing his conduct, watched him Inure narrowly.
He stated, that in the course of the week he had missed several
dollars, three shilling pieces, and other silver. On Friday after-
noon he put two dollars, and three tokens flie three shillings
each ia,io the till, and having left the shop about ten minutes he
found his return two of the latter gone, while no person save
the pi isomer could have approached the place where they were.
The latter was immediately secured; a quantity of money,
amounting to more th4n 151. all in silver, together with several
snits of S% raring apparel, were found in his possession.
The prisoner was remanded for further examination.

MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE.

Lord CASTLEREAGIt brought down a Message from the
Prince Regent, relative to the proposed marriage between
their Royat and Serene Highnesses, the Princess Charlotte of
Wales, and Prince Leopold, George Frederick, of Saxe Co-
bourg.--( For which see the Lards.)
The Noble Lord then said. lie should take the earliest oppor-
tunity of moving to refer the Prince Regent's most gracious
message fur eonsideration.—At present he shonld only cull
upon the Honse to espress their gratitude for the gracious
itommunication, and the deep impression i/ had made. it would

the Princess Charlotte, there was hot one opinion expr,•ssi-,1
throvgliont Enrope, tither as to his principles, his manners, •
his domestic habits. There was in conseipienee every reason

Nr. GIMP:Frit, after a variety of ohserl ations on the im-
mense profits accruing to the Bank of England from the use
of the "'oldie money, and contending that in these times of dis-
tress the public had a right to look to the Bank t'iir assistance
to the amount of many millions, not by way 44f loan, but as a
matter of tight, moved for a Committee to take into consider-
ation his first Resolution, viz.

"That it appears that there was paid by the public to the Bank of
England, floe managing the national debt, including the charge for
contributions on loans and lotteric,. in the year ending sth (While.
17fig. the smn of 99,tt01. Its. sd. and that there was paid for the like

Exchequer' Mr. S. Thornton, Lord Castlereagh, and Mr. liam-
mersley took a part against the motion, and Nlr. Tierney, Sir
J. Newport, Mr. Marryatt, and others, in support of it, the

labour of the six days is eagerly purchased, there is no
reason to doubt that the seventh (as Mr. Graham, the
author of the beautiful poem on the Sabbath, remarks)
would be purchased likewise if it were in the market, and
the labouring part of the community would be exposed
to unremitting unmitigated slavery.
Though, theretbre, our religion had done nothing else,
but said, " on the Sabbath thou shalt do no work; thou
nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, or thy
maid-servant," it would have conferred an invaluable
blessing on the world ; but it has gone farther, and has
provided the means of mental improvement, and moral
instruction, while it has secured an exemption from bodily
exertion. In other systems of worship we meet with
numerous festivals, in which the people were expected to
suspend the usual business of life, and surrender them-
selves to the calls of pleasure, or the exhibitions of super-
stitious pageantry. In the religion of the heathens, al-
most every divinity of importance had his appointed fes-
tival ; and the officers of the public were prohibited from
performing their usual public duties on the day when it
occurred.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, MONDAY, MARCH

Many petitions were presented against the Property-tax.
Lord .Ir.Tuottr pre,ented a petition from Wellingborough
Town against the Property- tax ; and in doing this, particularly
urged Ministers' to adopt every possible system of economy;
not only in the military, but in the civil deem:meats of the
State atm).

Mr. Fisnt.r.v presented a petition from Glasgow in favour
of a modified Property-tax. us the best calculated to a aise an
income upon the neliond to excuse the phor.

BUOLG II etreated his former opinions on the subject
of exposures of returns, and said, sinee he last nieut;oned the
subject, it had come to his knowledge, that in a district w MO*
ten miles of town, the returns were regularly sold as wi-iste pa-
per every year; anti he had recently received a letter from a
Commissioner, in the district alluded to, expressing his regret
at this circumstance, and staring that it was the Surveyor and
Inspector of the District (paid Officers of the Crown) who had
done this.

The petition was ordered to lie on the table.
Sir J. SHAW presented a petition from Queenhithe Ward
against the Property-tax.
Mr. TIER AFY wished to know, when the debate on the Pro-
perty-tax would come on
Mr. VANSITTART Ilionght the debate should be fixed for
Monday next, a% he did not think it Vi as likely the House would
have leisure for the discussion in the course of the present week.

MARCH 18.

Lord Grp:Ns said, that it was evident the large Peace
Establishment cas not to be temporary, a- had been held out,
but permanent. In his opinion, however, the best way of Ira g
a British soldier to his duty in time of war was, that be should
exercise the rights of a British citizen in time of peace. There
was no danger, at home or ahroad, to make the keeping up of
a standing army necessary.
The Earl of eti POOL was ready to try the question by the
policy which had been pursued for the greater part of the last
I:eatery. The Noble Lord then took a view of the different
colonies and foreign stations, and defended the amount of force
proposed for each, upon the same geounds as were taken in the
House of Commons when the saute question was discussed
there. He contended, that this country had built its strength
and raised Its glory upon the imperishable rock of Gibraltar,
and our other possesions in the Mediterranean ; and that any
Minister who shoot,' fail to provide amply for their security
would betray the best interests of the conntry. He ol,serveel,

peace was liable to the sudden devastation of war; and see

Tempted by the soccious offer of advice gratis, a person
not long since applied to the " Medical Board," in Black-
friar's Riad • ; but soon found, that however justly the
Board had rated the value of the advice, the price of the
medicines furnished 1w them (15s. 12.5. or Bs. per week,
according to the appearance and probable circumstances of
the parties) to he above his ability. This plan of the
Board reminds one of having, in the days of youth, seen
a mountebank on his stage, pompously boasting of his in-
tention to make a present of five shillings to every one
who would apply for it. The claimant had only to pay
one shilring for a small packet of medicine, estimated by
the mountebank to be worth six shillings, (probably nut
costing him a penny,) and the difference constituted the
five shillings promised.
• It has been erroneously supposed by some few persons,
that Mr. Astley Cooper, the celebrated Surgeon, is connected
with the tirm tot' Cooper & Ca of Blnelariars Road, those gen-
try who are 90 constantly obtruding their names iu almost every
daily Newspaper in circulation. This is a great minake. It
i sot for a moment to lie supposed that Mr. Astley Cooper would
Eegrade himself so far a, to become one of the advertising tribe.

The Duke of REWORD .aid, the motion lie bad to propose

THE

DRURY-LANE.

[sTr•.n.

On Thursday night after the performance of Lillu's
Tragedy of George Barnwell, a new Pantomime was
introduced, called llorleptin Horner; or the Cirrishteas
Pie. As every year induces a fresh•demand for a pan-
tomime, and as our countrymen arc not remarkably,
fertile in the invention of trilling amusements, it may
be supposed that this entertainment has a great ten-
dency to lose even the semblance of novelty. Indeed
-the new name is generally all the novelty of a new
pantomime. In this respect at least the title was suffi.
ciently happy ; for where is the man or woman who at
some period of childhood has not sympathized with the
Pie-loving Jack Horner? It is not unpleasant to be
thrown back as it were en the ceenes of our infancy: it
is an additional tie of connection between parents and
children, a common focus of interest, excites more in-
tensely that kindly family feeling which the business
of the world is perpetually weakening or destroying..—
.The producing of the story, therefore, of Jack Horner,
being calculated to excite such sensations, may be con-
sidered a very lucky hit, and almost as enticing as the
former one of Whittington and his Cat ; for it may be
a question, whether a Christmas pie present, or the
Lord Mayor's coach in future, would be the greater
object of delight. Next in merit to the name of the
pantomime was its scenery, the whole of which was
pleasing, and some heantitid : nor must we forget the
pretty and unateetcd music of Mr. Hook.

-
It is almost needless to relate in what manner this
piece of comic melange is strung together. Upon the
appearance of Melia, genius of the stir, in her immortal
power, grave looks are changed into grins, and clownish
slothfulness into agility and buffoonery—the Harlequin
skipped With great activity after happiness, and the
Clown Wandered with wonted ingenuity. As to the in-
cidents and transformations, they are poor and uninte-

reatirigl: there are scarcely any wonderful tricks per-
formed ; and in that respect this pantomime is inferior
to that which was p:escnted last year to public notice.
Mr. Ridgway, as Harlequin, was sufficiently active ;
and Miss Tree, as Ceitinenne, displayed some elegance
in the dance. Signor Paulo, as Clown, performed many
extr.tordinary feats, particularly one of standing on his
head at the top of a very high pole which reaches al-
most to the ceiling of the Theatre. The metamorphoses
were of course fur the first night rather badly executed.
The piece was announced tin• repetition amidst applause!,
mixed with some few marks of disupprobaion.

The evidence on 'Hie trial to-day, principally went to prove
fist the debt was not due, in consequence of the payment of
the bill for SUM. Several wit lIIPOWS deposed to the Cie, and
to the oath taken by the defendant, notwithstanding the ad-
mooition of the C4ll ttttt issioner4. It appeared. however, that
the defendant hid some reason• to believe that the debt was

found, that this defendant had falsely sworn, had
nut Au sworn uilfully and corruptly: a verdict of aciplittal

QUEEN SQUARE.

HIGHWAY Roonzity.--Wm. Barker, John Henderson, a
boy about C.l years old, alias Jack Ready, and John Coch-
rane, were brought up by Ethuouds, ogre of The parish cousta-
Ides of St. MaNarees, Westminster, charged by Elizabeth
West, wife of Wm. West, of Tothill-street, tailor, with rob-
ing her of a bundle, containing a cotton gown, a pair of sheets,
a shirt, a shift, and some small articles of ham Prooreutris
stated, that ou Tuesday evening, between 7 and 8 o'clock, as
she was passing along Totbill-sireet, she saw prisonerCkwhnstre
iu company with two boys, and as /90011 as she came near
them Cuclu-ane struck her on the face and knocked her down ;
he then took the bundle out of her hared, and gate it to the
boys, who run off one way with it, and Cochrane ran off the
other way ; she immediately went and informed EA'Woods of
the robbery, and described the boys. On this descriptionhe
took Henderson int ) custody, who has for some years post
been employed by the full-grown thieves in Westminster to
accompany them in depredations, for the purpose of running
away with the stolen property, by which feats of activity he
had acquired the name of Jack Ready. Hendersou having
iuformed him that Cochrane committed the robbery, and
offered to show him where he lodged, witness procnred as-
sistance, and went to No. 4, Duck.'" ard, where he took Coth-
cane, and lodged him in the watch-house. Henderson begged
he might nut be confiped iu the same place with Cochrane,
so he took him to Tothilitields Bridewell, and soon after be
was lodged there Barker came voluntarily to the prison, and
desired he might be contined with Henderson. The two
boys confessed now what Henderson told the constable, and
completely confirmed the testimony of the two last witnesses.
Stephen Oath and Thomas Duznall, both resident in the neigh-
bourhood, being desired by F:dinonds to accompany him, as-
sisted in taking Cochrane and lodging him in the watch-honse.
Cochrane was fully committed, and the parties bound to pro-
secute. The two boys were remanded till Monday, when it
is likely they will be admitted King's evidences.

ecuted. That of sun-set, with Haetney, &c. in the
distance, the view of the Thames and Vauxhall-bridge,
and the concluding scene, which of course was a mag-
nificent pavilion or temple, were distinguished Ibr
taste, accuracy, and beauty. No very great feats of
activity were displayed, cacept by an unti:rtunate mon-
key on the slack rope, when the audience had good
taste and good nature enough to hiss the poor animal,
and release him from a state of torture. The stage
mechanism was more perfect than we have often seen.

Mr. H. Johnston on Friday undertook the character
of Sir Pertinax, in Macklin's comedy, called " The Man
of Me World," and certainly did not disappoint the
hopes he had raised by his performance of Sir Archy
M'Sarcasm. The character is composed of ingredients
) p :culler to itself, that the most perfect success of the
actor in it does not afford a necessary inference of his
success in any extended range of comedy. At the same
time we think it but fair to state, that it was not difft.
cult to perceive gleams of superior power, and indicatit ns
of general excellence. We have on a former occasion
done justice to the accuracy of his utterance ; and are
happy to add, that he was by no me! 4a ; deficient in
archness, or wanting in that strong humour which plays
about the ambition and grasping avarice of Sir rerli.
na.r. To commend the truth and justness of his concep-
tion would be but an indifferent compliment in a part
which is drawn in colours too broad and obvious to ad-
mit the possibility of anymistake on that score. The pre-
vailing tone of his execution, however, did jnsticc to
his ideas ; and although he began as it were, in too
hilt a key, and seemed to undervalue too much the
difficulties of his. task, his energies sometime!.. suffering
transcient depression, he maintained, on the whole,
an animated, forcible, and effective delineation. War
have no doubt that a few representations will fix him
in familiarity with his part, and remove whatever little
impediments were observable in the volubility of his,
accent.

THE CONSPIRACIES.

About 30 years ago something in the plan of the present dia-
loilieal ay.tpm of conspiracy was practised in London. on which
occasion two of the wretches were hanged. One of the twi-
tters which they employed opon that occasion was, to prevail
moon some innocent man to hold a bundle er a horse, or some
other property et cently stolen, and to have him immediately
apprehended as the real offender. A wither practice about the
same time was, to► ton or three of the villains to go a mile or
tno from the metropolis, and charge any poor man they hap-
pen, d to meet 0 ith a robbery; mud by a concerted phut, there
appealed on the trial no doubt of the unfortunate 11111511.5 guilt;
for, as the wretches were conveying the victims to prison, they
always put into their pockets such articles as their accomplices
swore to have been htUiell

EATON THE PEDESTRIAN.

The crowd that assembled at Blackheath on Saturday
se'nnight, to witness the completion of the performance
of this surprising individual, exceeded any thing of
the kind heretofore seen. Numbers of cliks, ba-
touches, &c. of persons of distinction, were. up to
facilitate the Pedestrian's course, and he acoomplished his
undertaking amidst boundless plaudits.—ln order, as we
betbre stated, to convince the spectators that his vigour
remained unabated, he walked an additional mile with
perfect ease—a nobleman present afterwards took Eaton
and his children into his barouche, intending to drive
them round the course ; but the impatience of mul-
titude to testify their feelings upon the occasion induced
them to take the horses from the barouche befbre it had
got half way round, and draw it with acclamations to
the I fare and Billet ; where the Pedestrian, decorated
with laurel aid ribbons, was received by his friends.
After a short time, he mounted a balcony in front of the
Hare and Billet, and, in a brief and modest address, re-
turned thanks for the protection and favour he had so li-
berally experienced. He also took occasion to propose
undertaking, without any delay, another task of walking
60 miles a day for 10 successive days, fur a subscription :
or, by himself and son, a child under six years of age, to
'walk 80 miles a day for the same time—the child to walk
20 miles each day. . .

Many of those present gave the pedestrian handsome
marks of favour; among whom we remarked the celebrated
Romeo Coates, who put down a sum of money, accom-
panied by an address to the multitude.
Much of Eaton's success is to be attributed to the ex-
ertions of Mr. Robinson, a gentleman residing at the
Heath, who, throughout the pedestrian's feat, afforded
him every assistance and protection against the numerous
attempts made to impede him in his u..-lertaking.
