BXEYER. FEBRUARY 8.
Yesterday morning the removal of the fe111814411 of
the much-►egretled and beloved Duke of Krut,
frost Sulinuoth, took place. A great concourse of
people attended front Extter and the tweiglihnuling
towns, to witness the solemn ceremony. A hale

addition of extremely large wax lights, added to
the solemnity of the scene.
At right o'clock the Cathedral and parochial

DORCHRSTER. FEBRUARY 8.

( Extract of is private Letter./
On Monday, the 7th, instant, the, remains or his
Lite Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, escorted
from Stdinouth by a detachment of the 4th
dragoons, mid part of the Dorsetshire yeomanry
cavalry, were received at the entrance of the town
by the Mayor and body corporate, and pissed
through in solemn procession. The whole of the
shops were closed, and the tolling of the bells of
the different parishes added to the solemnity. The
procession was flanked by soldiers of the 4th dra-
goons : sn party of the IGth lancers, and IViltshire
yeomanry, continue the escort to Salisbury.

Yeoterday a meeting of the Ward wa• held at the
clitoral of *t. Gregory, for the purpose of electing
a Repreaentative in the Common Conned, in the
room of Mr. John Peintiori, the late Representa-

About one o'clock Mr. Alderman J. SMITH took
the Chair.

Mr. POWNELL addressed the meeting, and said,
that for the pre►ent he would decline the honour of
standing a candidate.

Mr. JOSEPH Gonwm, was next put in nomina-
tion try Mr. SANDELI..
Mr. PULLEY said, he had rout, years ago canvass-
ed tile Ward, for the honour of silting as their Re-
presentative ; his exertions, however, proved at that
time tn. &elitist, in consequence of the hostility
which directed itself against him. Ile had thrill
promised his friends, that on a future occa-
sion lie would offer himself to their notice, and he
now came forward to redeem that pledge.
Nlr. HAMILTON next came forward. He said lie
offered himself to the IVaril as a man anxious to
discharge the duty of a Representative. Should
they elect him, and those duties become too press-
ing, he would resign the tru►t.
Mr. GuowtN complained of the conduct of Mr.
Hamilton. He was found two hours after their
tde Representative expired busily canvassing the
%Vaud. He hail acted unhandsomely iowards'him-
self. Ile knew nut what claims Mr. Hamilton
had on she support of the Ward ; he was not re-
markable for independent principles or for private
cloudy; he had slot subscribed to the %Vali School
one single shilling alter the ►irst year. Fur him-
lie was a mere tradesman, hut he was indepen-
dent in circumstances and in mind, he could
afford to live in business or out of it. In the Com-
mon Council, should he ever sit in that or any other
assembly, hr would cherish no principles but
those which were independent; he would support
the rights of his Fellow Citizens, and at every
haz it'd stand firm by his country.
Mr. PULLEY said, that if he went into the Com-
mon Council he would go as au independent man
—he would be ashamed to appear there, or any
where else, if lie hail nut the common privilege of
acting according to the dictates of his own mind.
After some discussion, Mr. Godwin, declined,
fur the present, 'binding a candidate.
A skew of hands their took place. when the Chair-
man declared that the majority of bands was in
favour of Mr. Pulley.

A poll wits then .Irmittilled, which WAS to coo-
tinue °pro till lour o'clock.

The Dill:emits. CAETANO, sailed from Lisbon
the Ihtti tilt. for Maraiihatu, and was taken the fol-
lowing day by an losurgent brig privateer of 14
buns mid 105 men.
On Saturday last an investigation took place at
the Guildhall in Bury St. Edmund's, before the
111agistrates, on all information exhibited agsinst
Mr. 13aeocst AN, of the (Jell lon, charging him
oath liaiitig purchased forty partridges and a hare
in September last. The evidence in support of the
charge was given by two persons who acknowledged
that they were poachers. and asserted that they sold
the game to Mr. BRIDGMAN, who paid them fur it ;
but upon their cross-examination they were found
to contradict each other in several material parts,
sod were obvi 0000 sly acting f►om pt-cuniary motives.
Oss the part of Mr. BRIDOMAN, a disinterested wit-
ness positively proved that the game was bought
and paid for, not by Mr. BRIpOMAM, but by ap-
othe► person, without Isis knowledge ; and smother
witness was about to be produced to corroborate
this testimony, when the Magistrates expteswed
themselves unanimously of opinion that the cliuige
was unfounded, mud dismissed the information.

On Tue•dsy the General entertained the-Depii.
tier from Venezuela, New Granada, and Buenos
A yres,and a number of the decided friends of South
American independence, on' taking his final leave
or Floghod. After the cloth wav removed, the
General proposed
"The King, may he wools recover. and loot live In govern
this gnat and good country for the benefit of his people."
" The Supreme Chi. f Bolivar."
" The Vet...Boehm Deputies, Dun Pcsalver mod General
Verge a."

The GENERAL CoOgrat u lett! their Eseellencieg
on the ►rcent glorious ►ucera-t. of the ►epublican
armii, and the certain prospect of a speedy termiad-
!ion to that cruel desolating war which ravaged the
lititst portion of the globe.
The venerable Don FiIAtICISCO PlNALifill„ Prtr
sident of the Congress of Venezuela rasa Me Mune
thanks. The Deputy lamented the allots► 0( his
associate, the gallant General Vergers, which pre-
vented his attendance. Ile bestowed an *Mutated
eulogiutu on Major-General D'Evereez and his
Irish Legion, and assured them of the sincerity
with which they would be hailed as fellow-labourers
in the deliverance of his country. Ile concluded
by proposing
-
•' General D'Evereax and the Irish Legion."
The Gum ERA I. returned thstikr, and said it was
not for hun. in that place, to speak of himself; but
he might be permitted to say, that Lis exertions
were pore soul disinterested, dictated by an admira-
tion of the virtues and valour of the illustrious
Bolivar, and by an ardent love of South Atoeric.tit
independence. On the merits of the Legion be
could dwell a long tune with pleasure. They are
now about to meet the common enemy, and he
fouilly anticipated for them that glory and success
which every free heart must wi►h to attend their
arms.

" Sir Frederick Moil, Bart. and the Hoard of COMMIS.
sinners for colonising the General's extensive tract of land
in South America."

•' The free Nees."

Osi proposing this toast, General D'Eytasux
expressed himself in the warmest terms of gratitude
fur the manner in which the press of this country
treated him. He did not memo to confine hoe ac-
knowledgments to any particular party—the lead-
ing Journals of the Government, as well as those
of the Opposition. in England and Ireland, con-
ducted themselves towards hint with the greatest
kindness—with that decency. temperance, and
imparttility which Asecateie the conductors of that
great moral organ ; no low calumny or base
representations stained their cOlumns. General
D'Everetax briefly adverted to the base and
unfounded c.iluninies heaped on him by certain
',clim's in Ireland, all of which being unmerited,
sod holding the high rank he did in the service of
Venezuela amid New. Granada, lie treated with
silent contempt—at, the same time that he owed it
to his native country. the first and dearest object
of his affections, to admit that this outcry was not
sanctioned by her approval. Before that country,
to which he meant to proceed, he was willing to
appear, and by its judgment he would abide.—
( Loud and continued cheering.)
" The Memory of Geom.*, Washington."

This toast was introduced by General D'Evz-
REUX, inn manner highly complimentary to the
station and character of North America and the
distinguidied who.e 'noires he summed
up by adopting the sentiments of the greatest
Statesman 4,1* the age, who characterized the deli-
verer of North America. as The first in war, first
in peace. and first in the hearts of his countrymen."
"4 Mr. Herring, the liberal and practical friend of South
American freedom."

This toa►t was introduced by many complimen-
tary observations upon the liberal support given by
the inercautile I ttttt re of which Mr. Herring is a
member, to the sacred cause of freedom iu South
A merica.

Mr. HeAtm) returned thanks in a nest and ap-
propriate speech, in which he declared that he and
his friends had been governed by those principles
of liberty which are dear to every British heart.
Alany other suitable toasts were introduced, and
this complimentary and convivial entertainment
was conducted in a manner highly flattering to the
objects of attention, and satii•factory to the guests.
A fine portrait of the illustrious Bolivar was ex-
Whiled over one of the fire places in time room.
The attention of the company was often directed
to it iii the course of the night, by the frequent
allusions to his transcendent merits.

General D'Eatatux vet out yevterday for Dub.
lin, accompanied by Captain Bauvms.

A public Meeting of the friend, of Sir WILLIAM
CURTIS, Bart. M.P. and Alderman, who are de►ir-
osa of securing the return of the Honourable Baronet as
one of the Representatives of the City of Londue is Parlia-
ment at the approaching Election, will take place This Day,
at Me-. Loafn.' Tavern, Bishop:Tate-street. The Chair will
be taken at One o'Clock precisely.

There is no truth in the report that Mr. MOORE
has declined the representation of Coventry. The
political connexion between him ■nd that ancient
city, cemented by personal friendship, has been of
too long a standing to be relinquished without deep
regret on both sides. Mr. MOORE has reason to be
pleased with his constituents, and they have just
cause to be pleased with him.
The ',resent representative of the old family in-
terest in the county of Leitrim. Mr. GUMMY
GORE, has declared his intention of stepping lur-
ward on the present vacancy, which has occurred
by the death of JOHN,' --ATOUCHE, El.
Report says that our respected Member, Mr.
SMITH, will probably decline his 'eat in Parlia-
ment. and Mr. M•CDONALD and Mr. LONDE have
each been mentioned as the probable Candidate
fur Norwich oil that interest. Mr. JOHN IJARWEI,
it is also rumoured, will declare Isiinstlf. The
county will ►carcely, we think, e.cape a severe con-
test ; and Yarmouth, it is also ►aid, will he fought
for. Lord 13uay, it is believed, will offer himself
for Arundel.—/Norwich Paper.)

• • • UNION-HALL.
The infotmation laid by Mr. Ward on behalf
of the Proprietors of Drury-lane Theatre, against
Mr. Glossop, the Proprietor of the Cohort! Thea-
tre, sod others, was heard yesterday before the
Migi,tristes at tine Court. The information charg-
ed, that the Defeo'lams load exceeded their hcricw,
which limited their performances to buffet's'', ens.
preemie dancing and singing, and by playing legiti.
mate tragedy and comedy in the regular way, hail
infringed upon the patent of Drury-lane. The
specific intringeinesit laid in the iiiformation was
the revreireitilisii of the tragedy of lirwhies. in
whirls Mr. Booth. our of the parties complained
sustained the part of Brutus. The case of the In-
formant was stated at great length, and the charge
folly sustained by the evidence.
The Counsel for the Defendant made a long and
able speech, in which he reprobated the sellielliwss
and illiberality of the great Wiuter Theatre, it; this
attempt to oppress a minor establishment, which
was a nursery for theatrical talent, and afforded
the memos of support to a numerous company.
He further condemned it as an encroachment on mite
rights of the pedpie, and a contraction of the sphere
of our harmless pleasure. Ile was particularly se-
vere ups.' the inform slit. Mr. %Yard, the Secretary
to the Sirlw(!murnittee of Drury-lane Theatre, ay
(lege:o4lg himself by coming forward ii; that cha-
racter.
The Defendant, Mr. Glossop, was convicted in
the ',enmity, which is 501. He immediately paid
the moiwy, and declared his determination to ap-
peal almost the conviction.
The Court was crowded to excess.

A Pamphlet, entitled " botarffel Obterratioss," has been
recently published, which embraces most of the nrgu•
meets urged on behalf of the Winter Theatm its this
case. The following is an extract :

The legal question, in this case, need not occupy
a moment. The point has already, in more then
our 111/14111Ce, been most fully and clearly decided°.
It is perfectly will understood by all persons
who are conversant with the statutes under which
places of public entertainment are licensed and
regulated, that the establishments called Astley's
Amphiihe■tre, the Circus, Sulle►', Wells, the
Coburg the Royalty Theatre, and the
Regency Theatre, are merely HOUSES lieenseti Jima
year to year, by the Magistrates of the distract, fur
entertainments of music and DANCING ; that they
have no pretence even fur designating themselves
as "'HEAVIES ; that they have no authority for any
thing in the nature of scenic representation ; that
their conduct, at the present period, subjects thrin
every hour to various heavy pains and penalties t ;
and that their abuses, increasing from day to day,
have only continued during so long • period,
inasmuch as that they have been tolerated by the
parties interested in suppressing then,.
At law, the Minor Theatres can have no defence.

But it is not enough, in such a case as this, that
the law should be sat►.6ed. There is an authority
which stands above the law : the voice which has
power to enact, has power to repeal ; and it is not
wpm' the letter of an existing Act of Parliament,
that a question of moment will eventually depend.
The public have • right to be made parties to this
suit. The public west, in the end, be the judges
who are to decide it. Public opinion, important
upon every question, iu any contest between thea-
trical establishments, becomes irresistible; and un-
less the proprietors of the Tbeatres Royal, Drury-
lane and Cuvent,garkleu, can distinctly show that
the proceedings which they have commenced
against the Minor Theatres: are founded equally
upon justice and necessity, their victory at law
would, in effect, amount to a defeat.

Upon a brief inquiry into the justice and neces.
sity of those proceedings, it is now proposed to
enter ; and the subject divides itself into two ques-
tions..—Whether it be, or be not. expedient that
splendid establishments should continue to be
maintained, for the purpose of representing, with
due pomp awl circumstance, the National
Drama ? And whether, with the maintenance of
such establishmeots, the continuance of the exist-
ing number of Minor Theatres. conducted us those
theatres at the present moment are, be, or be cot,
incompatible ?
With a view to the consideration of the latter
question, it will be necessary, in the first place, to
look at the condition of the metropolitan theatres.
Of our two Patent, or if I may be allowed so to
designate them, 'National Theatres, one has just
emerged from a state of bankruptcy.
The deficiencies of Drury-lane Theatre amount•
ed, in right years, to Moriy thousand pounds!
Of this enormous loss, very little indeed is to be
ascribed to profuseness in expenditure. The truth
is, that the receipts of that establishment, during
several seasons, fell very far short of the amount
which was necessary tor its support ; and it is
notorious, that they did so fall 'short in defiance of
such reductions as exces-lye ingenuity alone could
have devised. nod as nothing short of excessive
desperation could have ventured to put in practice.
It cannot be denied that there were circuits.
stances connected with the management of Drury.
lane Theatre. which contributed to thwart the
success of that establishment : but, if these cir.
cultist:nice* had formed the sole, or even the prin-
cipal, cause of the unproductiveriess of that thea-
tre, it scent, probable that the greater part of the
money which was diverted by their operation from
the doors of prury-laue; would have found its
way into the treasury of Covent-garden.

• In the ;ear 1797, in the case of the Riavaitty Theatre,
when Delimit and Bannister. sen. were covrailatel tinder the
statute of the 10th George II.; witch culivirtiun wan con-
firmed. upon subsequent application to Illy Court of Kaug's
Bench.
Again, in the year 1791, in the case of the Royal Circus,
when Palmer and Barrett were convicted under the saute
Act; which conviction was afterwards rearmed, upon an
appeal is. the Magistrates ;t ;he Quarter hessian's.
Also, in the case of Marready, at the Royally Theatre;
in the ease of the Pantheon ; and in other iaiiances.

Mr. Runt assented. His Lordship had then

The Cuter JUSTICL as if, that such a cotscar-
►estce was me y, and then the application mast
he made by Counsel.
Mr. HUNT humbly begged leave to ►emind the
Court, that an application had been made by Coun-
sel. who+ had been instructed by their •ttonxy to

had most of them given op •t.y hope of

lass their right. He hoped. however, thsst their
Lordships would permit him to cite a few emirs
which had been determined in that Court,
Crum which it would he manifest that the concur-
rence of all the Defendants in one indictment was
not necessary, in order to give any one of them ■
right of obtaining • certiorari.
The Cittur JUIITICR said, that had been the ob-
iection of the Court to the application. liar could
ne see any rea►on fur altering that opinion.
Mr. Hunt submitted that Mr. Chitty had moved
in 1,4811 ot all the Defendants.

' Mr. Jeeitiee BATLEY said. that Mr. Chitty was
• u Co►rrt. and could answer fur himself.

Mr. Currre acknowledged that his application
had been general for the persons who made the
•fflilsvit, and others. Mr. Hunt's name was at the
need.

The CIIIIEF JUSTICE and Mr. Justice BAYLEY,
both amid that the Court had not in understood at
the time. They would hear Mr. Hunt's present
spplication.

Mr. II JJJJJ said that he was shoot to offer to their
Lordships' consideration some cases which would
wove that the concurrence of all the 13efendunts
slog not necessary.
The CHIEF JU.TICE hoped that the Cates were
altogether in point with that which founded the
present application.
Mr. Mid submitted that that was not necessary.

Nlr., Justice BAYLIGY obrerved, that there lewd('
oe great inconvenience and prejudice to the Plain-
tills if the trials were to be removed into yarning
c tie,.

Mr. Justice Ben said, that in any case the ap-
plicsone were bound to put the prosecutors in the
•eme condition as they !tow stood.
Mr. hoot ss•rnlyd. He did not seek any ad-
Fruitage over the prosecutors. His ground for ap-
plying was, that the people of Manchester and the
neighbouring district must, in the nature of things,
be prejudiced against him. The state of the Spe-
eel Jury list was another argument for removing
the trial. He and his fellow Defendants were of
course anxious to he tried by an intelligent Jury.
Now be Iwrl on affidavit by a Gentleman who had
examined into that stihj..ct, who stated that there
were nut more then 50 jurors on the list, and that
ihe list itself was not. even now made up, though as
'heir Lordships knew, it ought, according to Act of
Parliament; to base been crude up at the close of
the October Session..

Mr. Justice ILstrt.EY said, that could be no
ground; for as the case now stood, it would be
tried before a common Jury.
CHM, JUSTICE directed the affidavit to be
read. Which being done, he observed, that the
complaint as to shortness of time contained in it,
was singular, as the indictments had been laid be-
fore the long vacation.
Mr. Justice BAT LET avid there did not appear to
be sufficient materials before the Court to grunt the
opplication. There was no proof of the concurring
desire of all the Defendants.

chirge was for forestalling and attempting to mono-
