Under the sacred guard, formed by this counterpoise
of the three distinct Political Anvers of the State, he rests
secure in the conviction-..that their mutual jealousy will

On this ground he builda.tla strong and wanly attach-
ment which an Englialnisq feels,A.,thp eangtitutiet of
his country. He traces with srg approaching to
veneration, those streams of pot tical wisdom, which
have flowtsl, and which are continuing to flow, from
this pure fountain. The statutes which preserve the
three orders of the state in their ccvalitutionel

Rights of each individual in the great National Fainiy—

he analyses their principles, and pursues them in their
tendencies and practical results, and the more wisdom
does he discern in their fabriod—the higher do they rite
in his estimation and regard, and the more invigorated
does his zeal become in their promulgation and defence.

Cook submitted. that if the charge of felony could not be against his
-wife, it could be against his daughter, and he must insist open that
charge being gene into.
Mr. '.lkon and Mr. Fish. the other Magistrate, both argued with
Lint amt urged the unnatural Inte of conduct he was adopting, but he
still penalised in hi charge.
Mi. Stihsti then observed, that he hail nothing snore to do wit'a it.
'Proof had already been given that he (Cook) had treated lvv wifo with
ernelty, and it now appeared that he had kit both her and her daugh-
ter without Support. Mrs. Cook had taken some of his property, this
the law gave hint back. Her daughter attached to her mother's for-
tones, and disgusted pith the conduct of her father, had. perhaps,
aided and assisted her; but what was done, was done under the in-
*mire of her mother, and God forbid such a circumstance should be
tortured into felony, eves to gratify the fylings of a faller. He, at
least, would-not be the person so to consttue it. He should. thendine,
discharge bath mother and daughter. One word of advice he had to
give, and that was, that he. (Cook) should now hand over to his wife
and daughter, put eflhe Isl. be had just received front Hall, for their
esent support.
'flue complainant appeared greatly dissatisfied at the Magistrate's
decision, and positively refused to give them a single shilling at present.
Mr. Felton then advised them to apply, without delay, for relief, to
the parish, and again advised Cook to prevent them doing so, for
should they be chargeable only for a light supper, and the parish
ntheers apply for a warrant next day to apprehend him for deserting
his tinnily, it would be granted, and the result of such a proceeding

ENGLISH OPER,I.

A new, Melo. Dramatic Entertainment, called Th.,
Words; or, The &lot iwl Demi), was produced on Men-
day night at this Theatre.—We. understand it is a trans-
lation frau' the French ; and though it does not possess
any eminent claims to approbation, it will doubtless con-
tinue to be represented with applause.—The main inci-
dent resembles too much the common and hacknied plot
of innumerable afterpieces and spectacles during the last
10 or 12 years. A nultlemea and his servant arc benight-
ed in a fitrest, and, seeking shelter in .a cottage, diatorer
it is the abode of a banditti. Of course a plan is laid to
assassinatethem ' • and ofcourse, aka, the plan t uis anti thu
victims escape.—This may be segardtal the.grousd-iwork
of the piece; but there is a sort of under-plot which
furnishes the materials fun the second'act: Miss Kelly
personates the miraculous female, who speaks only two
words; but she amply supplies the cruel inteedict.tander
which the author has laid her, by her inimissble panto-
mime, in which she residers herself Us intelligible to.the
eyes of the attdience as her tongue could to their ems.—
Mr. Bartley performed the cracter of Sir Hiklehrand
de Gay (which was probably meant to ridicule the long
explixled follies of knigh...etrantry) with considerable et-
feet. The musk and scenery are pretty, and, with the
aid of a concluding Ballet, the curtain dropped amidst
the unanimonsupPlause of the audience. We would re-
connuend, however, a little curtailment of the setaiali ace.

A Mail from Hamburgb arrived last night. An ar-
Stele from Vienna of the 21st of last month, states that
since the arrival of a Courier the day before at the Eng-

had received the mast positive instructions, which had
Is.,en long and ardently desired to suppress the excesses of
the Corsairs, and that he was to demand from the Govern-
ment of Algiers, besides the entire abolition of slavery,
the delivery of the whole marine, and repayarnSt of all
sums received for the ransom of Christain Maws since
the last Treaty concluded on that subject; and in case
Hof refund so employ force.

A Swedish ship, with presents of powder, iron, a.ad
planks, to the Dey or Algiers, sailed from Stockholm
about the 20th of last (month. It is not likely that it
will reach its destination; and we trust that it will be
the last vessel that will ever sail upon such a mission.

night. from eight to ten o'clock, a phenomenon of sin-
gular :3canty appeared to the inhabitants of this town ;
it was in the fu•m of a very regular arch, of white tiiint
light, of about five degrees breadth in the middle, and
terminating to a point at each coil. At twenty minute
past eight its East end seemed to originate in the Mei-
(art, which was then rising, palmed through the con-
stellation of ('na•io/mn'.t Chair, and through the zenith
of Behlist, and terminated in the horizon to the West.
Befhre ten o'clock the tap of the arch hail regularly de-
clined from the zenith, about ,►) degrees towarls the
South, while the coils remained nearly stationary : it
soon after disappeared. The stars were easily seen
through it, but appeared somewhat fainter. Between
the North and North-west the sky near the horizon
appeared very bright, having the saute appearance as is
usual on a line evening, scan after sun-set. It seems
most probable that this beautiful phenomenon is to he
ascribed to the agency of electric matter in the higher
regions of the atmosphere.

BOW-STREFV.

On Monday, Mr. J. T. Itlagnett, a Proprietor of The cork
Morning' Ireeiiigenrer, or a penmn interested in the said paper,
was charger' with forging stamps for newspapers. Mr. Bartlett,
the keeper of Covent-garden watch-house, applied to the Ma-
gistrate to he relieved from the custody of the pi isoner; having
received him as a matter of accommodation, be slid not con-
ceive lie hail any power to detain him any longer. It appeared.
that on the tirst ipprehensiou of the prisoner. in Ireland, the
grounds of siispieion were so slight, that the Magistrate there
admitted hint to bail, and a Mr. Downs entered into recogii-
lance of anal. for his appearance. Some cireuntstances, how-
ever, afterwards transpired, wide,' rem-lived the suspicion
much stronger, and he absconded. Mr. Downs, kerning that
he was is England, obtained a warrant, and sent it over, made
special, to his son here, who caused Idol to be apprehen led,
and afterwards applied to the Seek•tary of the St:out...Dolce to
send him to Ireland; but he declincd, ,ayiaz, that admitting
Mr. M. to bail was against the will of the othev, and he eon.
demaed Mr. Downs ter bailing him. He therefore left his

POLICY OF LOTTERIrs.

Mr. TROMPS(); moved for an account of all the Cornmission-
ers ot•thc Lottery in town and country, together with their sa-
laries fur the two last years.
The CIISNCELLOR of the Exciter:it:Ea having made some ob-
servations,
Mr. THOMPSON added, that he knew there were many Cots•
missioners all over the country, that they were in town only a
few days during the drawing of the lottery, that they formed a
Ward amongst themselves, relieving one another by turns ; his
object was to ascertain what were the salaries of such indi-
viduals.
Mr. Lrr•rLEToN took this opportunity of expressing his objec-
tion to the mode of raining money by Lottery, he agreeing in
opinion with a late valuable Member of that House ( Mr. Whit-
bread,) that whatever might be the excuse for pressing such a
system of taxation during war, it was unjustifiable in time of
peace—( Hsu• !)
Mr. RENNET deprecated lotteries, and trusted, now peaco•
had returned, that lit act forth they would be discontinued.—
( Hear !)
Mr. M. A. T.tvr.nn observed, that this important subject had
often occupied the attention of the House, and that he was the
first individual M ho had of late years directed the House to the
consideration of its impolicy and injurious tendency. About
23 years age he succeeded in gaining a Committee, whose re-
port contained much important information, but the war break-
ing out, and money of course being wanted, the wishes of many
upon this subject could not be accomplished. Now, however,
peace had once more happily returned, and those who might he
disposed to turn their attention to this solviect- -to the fright-
fully injurious consequences that resulted from lotteries, wonid

TIROXEY then asked what the redactions would ;
whether the retrenchment Was to be applied to any particular
branch. or to the estimates generally?
The ('it xNCELLOR of the Excitcourm said, the propo,eil re-
duction comprehended ail the branches of the Civil last, as
far ;is their nature made them capable of reduction.
Mr. Tit:n(o;Y apprehended that Nome had very little to do
widi the rharges of tile Civil last, although the HMI 40 would
very naturally expect all reasonable reduction.—(4 lasgh unit

P ‘VEMENT BEFORE TIIP. TRU %SUM%
Mr. M. T said, in the course of the ins estiaations,
which took place in thrt Committee respecting the pavement of
the o•ctropolis, he had additional reason to complain of the
I adness of the paving before the Treasury. It wits a remark-
ab: fact that about 200 yards of the pa%ing hefore the Trea.
sin y was always worse than the worst paving in any other part
of Loudon ; and he was at a loss to know how the Treasury
could he compelled to mend its trays! (.1 laugh.) lie should

The Cu %airmen of the EXCHEQUER replied, that there
were many doubts respecting who ought to keep such paving
in repair, and many advisers had been consulted upon the
subject, which possibly had not tended to lessen tile difficulties,

men confined for debt in the county goal of York, stating, that
they had met with unavoidable misfortunes in trade ; that they
were ready to make over their effects for the benefit of their
creditors ; and that they had heard, with great concern, that
the repeal of the Insolvent Act was in contemplation; and
praying the House to take into consideration their case.—The
petition was laid on the table.
The Report of the Committ.e of Ways and Means was brought
up, the Resohitious read and agreed to, and Bilis ordered ac-

Mr. CHOKER rose to move for leave to bring in a Bill to
transfer the Transport 80. rd Ditties to the Navy and Victual-
ling Board. The Hon. Gent. said, it was originally intended
to put down the Board altogether, but as the Board had a va-
riety of seenrities which they were entitled to hold and to sue
for, it was, therefore, he moved for a Bill, with a view merely
to enable the Navy and Victualling departments to exercise
*hose duties, in a legal point of view.
Mr. WEsTEav asked, whether the medical department aes
to be dispensed with.
Mr. CHOKER observed, that it was with a view of economy
that this transfer was made ; but there was no idea of dispeu-
Willerhe Medical Board. Leave was then given.

TRANSPORTATION OF FELONS.
Mr. H. ADDINGTON moved for leave to bring in a Bill to
tmend the Act relating to the Transportation of Felon•. The
principal object of his present Bill was to supply the defects of

cies in sonic clanses of two other Acts, in respect to the ap-
pointment of superintending Officers over the felons confined
in prison-ships. Leave given to bring in a Bill.

HAYMARKET.

This, the oldest summer Theatre in the metropolis—
the remembrance of which is ever connected with the
recollection of Foote's broad humour, and of Colman's
sparkling wit—and which has many claims on public
patronage, as laving been the point from which several
actors, of firt-rate eminence, commenced their profes-
sional career in London—was on Monday night opened
for the season. The interior has been newly painted—
and thy: general appearance of the house is light, airy,
and c'eAnnt. Macklin'ssatirical Comedy of The Man of
the 11/o, Id was selected for the occasion, and was pro-
duced with great strength and effect. The company is
composed of a selection of eminent performers from the
two winter theatres, and a few provincials ; and with
e e y prospect of success from the talents that arc en-

gaged.
The Castle Spectre was the play of Tuesday.—Mr.
Mez.,ret, who was brought out lust season, acted Osmond
with considerable effect ; and Mrs. Egerton made her first
airs arance on these boards, as Angela, and was honoured
with general applause. In The Review, which was the
afterpiece, Fawcett was the representative of Caleb Quo-
tem (his first appearance these eight years at this House).
His performanec furnished the accustomed treat, and
left the audience nothing to desire. A Mr. Crisp came
forward as John Lump, and was tolerably successful.

attack our greatest lawyers at an immature age. Lord
Mansfield continued on the Bench thirty-three year's and
(lied at the age of eighty-eight. The late Chief Jus
tice of the Common Pleas is still in full possession of his
faculties, and walks and rides with much vigour at nearly
the age of eighty; and we have several Judges on the
bench, who have long passed the grand climacteric, yet
in whom we have never perceive d any diminution of
that energy which is necessary for the functions of their
office.
It is our intention to collect as much of the history of
these venerable characters, as it can be of importance fin.
the public to know. We shall not enter into the gossip
of the day : we shall not endeavour by surly criticisin or
affected candour, much less by heedless and perverse hu-
mour, to expose private infirmities, or extend trifling
scandals, it' any such were found to exist. It will be, on
the contrary, our chief aim to direct the attention of the
public to the early progress of our great and eminent
Lawyers, to point out the peculiar qualities in which they
have excelled ; to trace the causes of their elevation to
their rank; and to exhibit to our readers a just and faith-
ful picture of their merits as servants of the Crown and of
the Public.

We have for some time made preparations in collecting
materials, but as there are many circumstances of edu-

cation, and interesting anecdotes in early life, which it
would be very desirable to know, but which cannot be
often gathered from ordinary sources, we shall be grate-
ful to any of our correspondents who, by furnishing us
with correct dates, will enable us to render our sketches
more complete and accurate.
We shall in our next number present our readers with
a Memoir on the present Lonn CHIEF JUSTICE of the
KING'S BENCH.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, Musa tv, JULY 1.

- - - - -
The Speaker informed the House, that the Royal Assent bad
been given by commission to several bills.
Mr. BENNLT WI/tight lip the police committee report. He
observed, that the committee had taken great pains in esamiii-
mg this soil ject ; and he hoped the House would look at it with
due attention next session. It was connected with many im-
portant considerations. The question of the licensing of public-
houses deserved consideration. It had appeared in the ex-
amination, that in the district of Whitechapel there was a con•
nection between magistrates and brewers. It also appeared,
that in 1813 above 11,001) per:te.s were committed, on various
charges, to Newgate and other prisons ; and, in IMI3, 10,340 :
803 were committed to Clerkenwell prison, tin• assaults chiefly.
There were great evils from the want of a proper classi-
fication of prisoners confined for different sorts of crimes. He
thought, on the whole, that the manners and morals of the pub-
lic had been rather improved of late ; notwithstanding the ex•
tent of distress which had placed 23,000 persons in a state of
want and penury.
The report was ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. Flurrenwoiern gave his testimony to the exertions of
the committee. He hoped, also, that the bill for regulating
stage-coach driving would be renewed next session. Great
abuses had occurred on the Leicester road, where a coach was
shattered to pieces, and four persons killed.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL could not promise any thing for
himself next session without assistance and support; us this
his first attempt at legislation had proved so unsuccessful : but
something mast be done iu this matter, tot the security and the
satisfaction of the piddle.
Dyott's divorce bill was read a third time.
Mr. M. A. TAYLOR gave notice of a bill for next session re-
spccting the pavement of the metropolis.

THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

The provision you have made for consolidating the revenue; of
Gr:at Britain and Ireland, will, I dou'u not. be productive of the
happiest connequence4. in cem,mting and advancing the interests of
the united kingdo:n; and must afford an additional proof of the con-
stant disposition of Parliament to relieve the difficulties and promote
the welfare of Ireland.

My Lords std Gentlemen.
The measure.; to which I have been under the necessity of resorting.
for the suppression of those tumults and disorders which had unfor-
tunately occurred in some parts of the kin:glum, have been productive
of the tuest salutary effects.
I deeply lament the continuance of that pressure and distress which
the circumstances of the country, at the close of so long a war, have
unavoidably entailed on many classes of his Majesty's subjects.
I feel fully prsuatlztl, haws:vet, that after the many severe trials
which they have undergone, in the course of the anlttons contest in
which we have been engaged, and the ultimate success which has at.
• tend.al tlizir glorious and perseviering exertions, I may rely with per-
feet contidmce on their public spirit and fortitude in sustlistMg those
diMmlties, which will. I trust, be found to have arisen front causes of
a tempwary nature, and which cannot tail to be matrially relieved by
the progressive improvement of public credit, and by the reduction
which has already taken place in the burdens cf the people.
Then the Lord Chancellor, by the Prince Regent's command, said:—
My Lords sad Gent:caws,
It is the will and pleasure of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent,
acting in the name and behalf of his Majesty, that this Parliament be
prorogued to Saturday. the 24th day of August next, to be then here
holden; and this Parliament is accordingly prorogued to Saturday,
the 24th day of August next.

DILIMATIC REGISTER.
KING'S THEATRE.

%nett Or PILINCrB4 CHARLOTTE AND raINCE reoPoin, AHD

OF THE DUKE OF WELLI/MTON.
This splendid Establishment exhibited on Tuesday
night one of the most brilliant and crowded audiences
that we have seen during the present season. The
Princess Charlotte and Prince Leopold entered the Be-
-ent's box soon after nine o'clock, and were greeted, as
usual, with that respectful and enthusiastic, welcome to
which their exalted rank so justly entitles them. We
have now to notice another entre which was marked
with tha strongest feeling we ever witnessed—a feeliteg
naturally excited by the presence of the greatest (ienertil
13nglantl, or any other country, ever had to boast. It is
varcyly necessary* to name the Most Noble the l)uke of
Wellington. Ilis Grace arrived at the Theatre about a
quarter betiwe eleven o'clock, and was in an instant re-
cognized by the whole of the. audience. It was no com-
mon welcome: the Hero was cheered and huszaod from
all quarters of the house, and they were repeated again
and again, until, apparently, the excess of the plaudits
rendered almost powerless the enthusiasticadmirers of this
great man. The air of " See the Conquering Hero
comes," toss delightfully played by the whole of the Or-
chestra, and toJloa•cd by the national /lir of " Ghod save
the King." This was sung in admirable style by the
Company employed in the Opera, and joined most heart-
ily by the Princess Charlotte and all the audience stand-
ing. The effect was imposing in the extreme ; and we
witnessed it, as did the distinguished visitors present, as
a treat seldom to be met with, and with the most extra-
ordinary pleasure. The pieces for the evening were
Zaira,' the Divertisement of ' Endymion', and the new
Ballet, entituled Emmeline.' Each w:ts received with
marked approbation.
COVENT•GA R DEN .

- _
Monday night the Princess Charlotte and Prinoe Leo-
pold honoured Covent-garden Theatre with their presence,
to see the performance of Miss O'Neil in the Tragedy
of Romeo and Juliet, together with the Melo-drame of
Timour the Tartar. The house was extremely crowd-
ed ; and the Illustrious Pair were received with most
evident tokens of popular gratification. The Play was
well acted ; and on no former occasion have we known
Miss O'Neil to receive snore distinguished or merited ap-
plause.

TO MOTHERS AND NURSES.
AMONG the innumerable instances of tie surprising
cane. performed by the AMERICAN SOOTHING SY RCP, •he
following ease is deserving the attention of every family:—" A fine I'at
infant of J. Palmer, thatcher, of Friar-place, Acton, Middlesex, only
six months old, began to cut his double teeth; but the mouth became
ulcerated to such a degree us to prevent its sticking; this was attended
with strong convulsions. and in a short time reduced the child to a
mere skeleton; the mother was even afraid to move it, for fear the
limbs should not hold together. A nure.,2ry-maid in the neighbour-
hood, seeing the dreadful situation of the child, gave the mother a
small quantity of the Syrup; and in one hour after the gums were
rubbed. the infant was better, and could actually take the breast. The
father immediately got a bottle, and in two or three days six double
teeth clinic through, to the astonishment of all the neighbourhood."

DUKE OF WELLINGTON.

Lord CASTLERK 1G H called the atteution of the house to the,
return of the Duke of Wellington to England since the last
vote of thanks to his Grace. Oil a former occasion a deputa-
tion of the winners waited on the Duke with the thanks ; and
his lordship wished now to follow that example. Though the
close of the session might frustrate the.ohjtet of the deputa-
tion, yet it waidil be satisfactory that the sense of the house
should be recorded on the journals for those great services of
his Grace 'which would never be effaced from the page of his-
tory. He then moved that the thanks or the house be pre-
sewed to the Duke of Wellington by a committee of the house,
who should congratulate his Grace on his rcturu, and particu-
larly on the glorious and memorable battle of Waterloo.
,tgreed to.
The c iii unittee was appointed, consisting of Lord Castle-
reagh, the Chancellor of the Evehequer, the Marquis of Tavi-
stock, Mr. I'onsonby, Mr. B. Bathurst, Lascelles, Lord
Clive, and others.

in the first instance, and then they might raise their terms, and
supply the public with a w,irse article at a higher price.
This would, therefore, have in some measure the effect of a
monopoly ; and upon the whole he saw no good reason fur pass-
ing the bill.
Lord LONGFORD a ipporteil the hill upon the same grounds
as those stated by the Earl of Limerick.
The Earl of LAUDER oALC stated, that in ease the bill should
be read a third time, be would move en amendment, that the
company should not have the power to raise the prices stated
by themselves in one oh their schedules to be sufficient.
Upon the question that the bill be now read third time, the
/louse divided—Contents, 16 Not Contents,ls ; Majority, 1.
The bill was then read a third time ; and we understood that
while strangers were excluded,
The Earl of LAUDERDALE moved his amendment, which was
lost: th,re being 10 for it, and 16 against it,
The bill was then passed, and sent to the Commons.

than the presence of others. Great and illustrious person-
