SOCIE!' I OF ARTS.

At the weekly general meeting of this society,
held on Wednesday, ; t their house in the Adelphi,
Mr. Sony in the chair, several new members were
hillotted for, after which the minutes of the pre-
&ding; week being read, a warns debate took place
on the propriety of confirming the following as a
new rifle and order of the society, viz:—
" That it is contrary to the intentions, and inju-
rious to the inter:sts of this society, that any mat,
tern submitted to this society, and intended to be
published in its volumes, should be previously pub-
lished in any other journal. That any member
infringing the foregoing rule be expelled the so-
ciety."
A motion was made,
" That such parts of the resolution as went to
expel any member for infringing the rule, be not
agreed to."
On the question being put by the chairman, there
appeared in favour of the original resolution a skew
of about fifteen hands, and for the amendment
about seven.

Another amendment was put and carried, to in-
sert after the word " rule," " without having pre-
viously obtained the permission of the society.'
One observation only we will venture to make on
the above rule and order of the society, if such it
is to be (tiir it will not be fully confirmed till the
next weekly meeting); it is, that the arguments in
favour of the rule were all directed against the
publication of garb!ed accounts ; but the resolution
declares against all publication, except by the so.
cietv, whether true or false, whether obtained from
the papers of the society, or from the communica-
tion of the original inventor. After the discussion
of mime other business, the society adjourned to
Wednesday next.

corzivr GARDEN 111E4T1tE.

Mr. Kemble has left England foe his retirement
at Lausanne. He has executed a deed of gift, sub-
stituting Mr Charles Kemble the proprietor, in
lieu of himself, of the valuable share he possessed in
Covent Garden Theatre. Report states it to be
worth 50,0001.—The circumstances attending this

instance of fraternal affection deserve to be rectaded.
It appears that Mr. Kemble had always signified
that he intended to bequeath this property, in case
of his death, to his brother Charles, but his heal h
nut admitting of any active exertion in such a con-
cern, he determined to anticipate his will, and have
the pleasure of bestowing it in person. Mr. Charles
Kemble had some intimation that his brother in-
tended to ::11.:tv a proof of his affection, but had no
conception of the intended amount. When the
instrument was read, Mr. Charles Kemble was su
affected, that he was absolutely deprived of utter-
ance, and the brothers then MI into each other's
arms, presenting a scene of the most gratifying na-
ture, and in its effect upon the persons present, more
iater,sting and impressive than perhaps had ever
attended the exertio 1 of their great talents on the
stage. It wiil be gratifying to the public to learn,
that Mr. John Kemble hits retained what Thompson
styles " an elegant sufficiency," %%Inch we earnestly

Till QUEEN'S VISIT TO ST. PAUL'S.

Wednesday last was indeed a day of triumph to every
red friend of peace, ord, r, and loyalty, and true reverse
to many ol those who profess themselves to be so. From
daybreak carriages, filled with beauty and elegance, were
tolling in quick succession to Me parts of the town
through which the procession was to pass, and by nine
o'clock the whole way from Hamnierstittilt to St. Paul's
resented such an exhibition of loveliness, as made an
Englishman laudably pr,nl of his etteltaniing country.
w 11l ten. Words can no inure describe the extent of the
moving masses fe .0..0.. th, t can expressions be found
adequate to a egeription 'libel,. good-fellowship, their
an husiasm, o• their peacea:ite demeanour.
At nine o'clock a considerable number of gentlemen
mounted to horseba •k assembled in Broadway, Ham-
mersmith ; they were joined by many others who came
from Putney, Fulham, Brentford, Riehmoild, Windsor,
and the other more distant parts of the surroimiling
country. They e re all umlauted. some indeed capi
tally, and decorated with white favours. They were
marshalled under t:te guidance of a Committee, who
superintended the local arram.entents, and ltd them front
Broadwaytoßrandenbitrgh House.
Her Majesty did not step into her carriage until ten
o'clock; she was accompanied by lady Anne Hamilton,
and followed in another carriage by her Vice Clamber-
loins. The procession then moved on towords town.—
The roads were so blocked by the crowds who advanced
te meet the Queen from Hyde Park-corner, that the dif-
ferent stage-coaches found it at times hopeless to proceed
to their places of destination. At Hyde Park corner the
Queen was met by Sir Robert Wilson, Sir Gerard Noel,
Mr. Hobhouse, Mr. Peter More, Mr. Alatlclocks, and
several Members of Parliament: they lad the guard of
honour to the metropolis.

ARREST FOR SEDITION.

On Saturday last the Grand Jury for the County
of Middlesex found a true bill of indictment against
a gentleman for sedition, and as usual ou the find..
ing of bills for misdemeanours, a Judge's warrant
was issued for the apprehension of the defendant.
1 he gentleman having been informed of the cir.
cumstance, sent several messages to Mr. Birnie the
Magistrate, on Monday, stating that he was pre-
pared to give bail, and requesting. the worrhy Ma.
gistrate to take sureties at the Bow-street office;
without the form of apprehension. It being a
Judge's warrant Mr. Birnie could not interfere, as
he had no power to take bail, and late on Monday
evening, Holyland, a constable, accompanied by
Mr. Pearson, the solicitor, proceeded to the house of
the accused, and took him into custody. There was
no difficulty in obtaining access to the house, as he
was ready to surrender himself. A person who had
been previously stationed opposite the door to watch
who went out, but thcre appeared to be no neceesity
fur that arrangement.
He was conveyed to the Judge's chambers in Ser.
jeant's Inn, but the Judge
,having gone home, the
parties proceeded to the private house of Mr. Justice
Bayley, in Bedford-square, where the defendant
was held to bail, himself in .2001. and two sureties
in 1001. each.

The warrant charged the defendant with " pub-
lishing, and causing to be published divers seditious
and inflammatory hand-bills and placards, with in-
tent to excite, stir up, and create sedition and disaf-
fection in the minds of the subjects of his late and
present Majesty."

BARBAR4 KRESS.

LANGENBURG, Nev. 17.—1 enclose you a Ger-
man newspaper, containing au article relative to
the int:mous Barbara Kress, who has so disgraced
herself and her country by her recent conduct on
the Queen's trial. Observing that Lord Liverpool
seemed to place a feud reliance on the testimony
of this witness, I thought it might be of use that
he, as well us herMaje&y's counsel, knew a little of
her character. By the date of the paper you ‘vill
see that the article in question has been a consider-
rabic time in print. I expected to have seen it
copied in other German papers, and thence trans.
hated into the English; but being dis,ppointed in
the anticipation, from the strictness of the censor-
ship in most of the States of Germany, I find Il;
only way of giving it publicity in England is to
en,:lose the original copy to you :

see among the Italian canaille who have been employed during
the hilti/LIS proc.ss which has disgraced our age, to bring
charges against the Queen of Ergland,.the name of a German
woman named Barbara Krmi, which, in consequence has °nen
mentioned in all the public journals of Europe. Her
declarations, howe' er, cannot possibly have much weight if the
same principle which prevails every where else prevails in En-
giand—tbat an unblemished character is utmeesmsary to give
validity to the testimony of a court of justice. 'filar is not the
ease with Barbara Kress, who, when she was in ssrvice d 431110 time
ago, in the country residence of the King of Wirtemberg, called
,Llanrepos, emitted theft, end was in consequence discharged
with a mark of infamy. I leave it t.r you to make known this
fact, the truth of which many respectable persons a:e ready to

itzErix4 FOR THE RRLLEF.OF THE POOR.

On Thursday.sememerous and :most. respectable
meeting of the Merchants and Bankers, &e. of the
City of London took place at. the Warehouse of Air.
Hick, in London Wall, for the purpoee of taking into
immediate consideration the- pressing distresses of
the poor in this inclement season.
At twelve o'cluckathe Lord Mayor took the
Chair. Ammo those who attended were the
Bishop► of Chester, Sir John Lubbock, Mr. Barclay.
Mr. Hanbury, &a.. The Meeting, was advertis.d
for eleven o clock
The Lord Mayor said upon taking the. Chair, that
he had delayed for an hour, in the expectation. that
she Meeting would become numerous, an event
which could nut be expected.at a.very.earLy period
of the day, in consepence,or the shortness► of the
notice. The.subject, upon which the Meeting, was
called wile already well kuoven, and was onenpon
which it was unnecessary tuexpatiate. Distress was
to be seen in every:coruere—Mr. Hick liad.uffered
his Warehouse for the service of .those who•had nu
place to go to, until a .remedy of a permanent
nature was found. There were numbers of
cations from those who had parishes, butteere were
multitudes who l►ad..none, and who must perish it
assistance was not aflierded. The plan hitherto
adopted (and it was a very :incouveniaat one) was
to give such unfortunate persons adittte tenyerary
relief from the pocket of Abe Lord Mayor, or the
fund which was intended fur other purposes„ and
send them utiout. their business.:. The jimmied
plan would have but -a temporary operation, but
great benefits must arise from it, putting out of the
question the removal of misery from the eye of the
public.—(Applause).
The Bishop of Chester said, he did not know,
until he looked into the papers, that the Meeting
was to take place• The moment he fuend it to be
the case he got into his carthige.—(Applausc.)—
There was no mode of charity which tgilis not sub-
ject to objection ; but thieeivuntages likely to arise
from this plan ter outweighed all possible disadvun
tages. lie did not know how any one of the opt
lent could enjoy the blessings oL-wealtlt, when,they
heard of their tabs creatures, particularly of time
other sex, being without:* place to lay theirheads
in, without almiuistering to their relief.. His
Lordship concluded, by wishing the must hearty
success to the propos:111u be .made fur. the .reliel
the poor.—,Great applause.)
Mr. Bodkin, Secretary to the Mendicity Society,
stated, that the relief which was intended to be
given to the pour, was called list by exigency and
the inclement season of the year, and ,rueld cease
as soon as that exigen y was at an end.
A geurlemat► uliserred, that the practice of giving
halfpence to begenrs in the btit:CtS, was one ill' the
greatest entourtgements to the trade of begging.
He trusted that the ln•css wcutil ineuivute this, and
he was Cl/11611Cell that it' that practice Were put an
cud to, the streets would not be su much ..rowded
with beggars.
After some further observations from other gentle-
men, Bee/alums were proposed, that Mr. Hick's

LETTER 11.

TO TILE RIG/IT HON. VISCOUNT SIDWOUTM.
MY LORD.—Having brought the question respecting George
Edwards before the !louse last evening, it is my intention to
renew that question in a different form. I have received consi-
derable information besides those documents I left at your
Lordship's office, confirming the infamous conduct of Edwards.
I have, therefore, to request your Lordship will prevent Edward.
frotn leaving the country, as I have been this day informed he
is preparing to leave England for America.-1 have the honour
to be, my Lord, your most obedient servant,

FROM LORD SIDMOUTH TO MR. ALDERMAN WOOD.
‘Vhiteliall. May 3, 1820.
Sts,-1 have received your letter of this date, in which you
request me to prevent George Edwards from leaving this coun-
try; and in reply, I have to acquaint you, that I know of no
-round, which would justify me in issuing a w.urant against
Edwards, that being the only mode by which I could comply
with your request.-1 have the honour to be, Sir, your most
obedient humble servant,
Mr. Alderman Wood. SIDMOUTII.

LETTER IV.
TO THE !WHIT HON. VISCOUNT SIHMOUTH.
MT 1.01113.-1 am honoured with your Lordship's answer to
my letter of yesterday,-reaptzting George Edwards, wherein you
state that " you know of no ground which would justify you In
issuing a warrant against him." I consider that thuse depositions
which I left at your Lordship's Office. contain such charges as
would fully justify your Lordship in apprehending George
Edwards. Perhaps your Lordship's objections are, that they are
not sworn ; if so, I beg to inform you, that the parties were in
attendance at your Lordship's Office, to give evidence, and-were
ready to be sworu to their suuernents, and are now ready, at an
hour's notice, to attend your Lordship. I have also otboT evi-
dence to produce. I remain your Lordship's most obedient
bumble servant, M. WOOD.

On Monday last, the Grand Jury fur the county
of Middlesex found a true bill of indictment fin
High Treason against this man. The old observa-
tion, that " there is honour among thieves," has
been verified in this instance, and Edwards, after
having entrapped his victims, has been himself con-
veyed out of the kingdom, and placed in a situation
of safety till he may be wanted again.—The follow-
ing correspondence between Mr. Alderman Wood
and Lord Sidmouth, on this subject, will be read
with much interest:—

LETTER 1.
FROM LORD SIDMOIU Ili TO ALDERMAY WOOD.
Whitehall, April 26,
SIR,--1 have to thank you for the statements of Mary Barker,
Thomas Chambers, William Tunbridge. and George Picked,
which you left, in my absence. in the hands of Mr. Clive.
You are probably aware, from the list of wine sea which has
been delivered to the prisoners now on their trial, that George
Edwards. who is alluded to in those statements, is named in
that list, and is liable to be called as • witness for the Crown;
and there does not appear to me any sufficient ground for insti-
tuting any proceedings against am, Sir, your most
obedient servant. bIDMOUTII.

Thus was an action aristisg out of rather peculiar cir-
cumstances. The plaintiff, are the assignees of a bank-
rupt of the name of Hawkins ; and the defendants were
the assignees under the commission against the Ports-
mouth Bank of Minchin, Carter, and Kelly, which was
superseded on the ground of concert, and are also the
assignees under the commission subsequently il,sued.—
Tile bankrupt, Hawkins, was indebted to the Ports-
mouth bank in the sun► of 2031. and being pressed for
payment, under the first commission, gave a draught for
the amount, which was fluty honoured. Oa the bank-
ruptcy of Hawkins, the plaintiffs, us his assignees, upon
the first commission of Minchin and Company being set
aside, called upon defendants to refund the motley, on
the ground that they were not authorized to receive it,
and therefore could only hold it to the plaintiffs use.—
To this the defendants replied, that, by the subsequent
commission, the proceedings under the former cant-
mission were rendered valid, and, therefore, that they
were entitled to hold it for the benefit of the cred
The question to be decided was, whether the its3:net,
under the superseded commission were personally
and the learned judge (Mr. Baron Graham) held, at tint
• hat they were not; but the further hearing of the case
being pressed, the learned judge charged the jury in fa-
vour of the defendants, :idanittnig, at the !AMC little, that
be might be in error, but that his opinion might be re-
viewed by the court above. Tile jury returned a verdict
for the defendants.
