Ti.c Rights Pro, er& Vindicated, against the Claims
ej Universal S?: Yaw, 13%.7.—i'd AWNS A r 4, 8 vo.
•by Rola. FIiLLOWES, A.M. OxuN.

This luminous .writer, chiefly on theological sub-
jects, has here trod, with great skill and discrimination,
the trodden path of Universal Suffrage. We have fbl-
lowed him with great pleasure, and have culled a few
of his attractive principles. In his opening descrip-
tion of the fitneied bliss tr I,..lerived by this new plan,
he sagaciously r. : " L'oivertal suffrage has
e•msidered by the polatlace as synonymous with
univcrsal happiness. The grim demon of taxation, the
haggard features of want, are to vanisit betiwe the
ttr,eli of univerral suffrage : a new era of bliss is to
; old things are passed away—the day of rogene-
rfaion dawns—and Major Cartwright, asssted by his
potent auxiliary, Mr. Cobbett, is to pour the horn of
plenty over the sterility of the land." As lie proceeds
in his reasoning, through the definition, the object,
the cncrcase of numbers, we come, p. 13, to Ch. 5, on
the Influcace, &c. where we shall tin the premit gra-
tify our readers by giving the .:.athor's own words:—

BOW-STREET.

J. Cleaver was charged with stealing a pawnbroker's du-
plicate in the house of Mr. Webster, jeweller, in Webber-row,
Blackfriars.road. The prosecutor stated that he, some
mouths ago, pledged a quantity of jewellery at the shop of
Mr. Cameron, in the Strand, for 61. He placed the duplicate
in a desk in his pa lour ; a few days since, intending to re-
deem the property, he searched fur the duplicate, lent it was
gone. He proceeded to Mr. Cameron's to stop the articles,
but was info:shed they had been redeemed by Isaacs,
of Holywell street, Strand. Isaacs, on being applied to, said
he had purchased the duplicate of one Lazarus, it salesman,
in Marquis-court, Drury-lane. Lazarus said, having known
the prisoner, he employed him to do odd jobs in hit house.—
A few weeks since the prisoner said .► friend of his in Black.
friar's road, had a duplicate for jewelry, which lie asked
Lazarus to purchase. This the latter fettered ;on 41. %Wise-
qitent day, however, he again pressed' Lazatus to become a
purchaser, when he said lie would " rake it to a Gentleman
acquainted with such trumpery, and his opinion." This
Gentleman was Mr. Isaac's, who lost no time in redeemidg the
property, and gave Lazarus 11. 13s. 6d. for the bargain. The
latter returned to hi, friend, and gave him 16s. reserving 19s.
6d. for himself. The prisoner solemnly denied the charge,
41111 said that the sun of the prosecutor gave him the doplica,te
and requested him to sell it. H. Webster, jun. a boytint
16, denied that he had done as stated by the prisoner. He
was remanded.

The Magistrate on Friday decided the question, relative to the right
of placing carts for hire round the statue at CLaring Cross. The
CUStOIII CA) years' standing, W3B held to be nugsaory. and the nui-
sance was ordered to be abated under the peril at' severe penalties.
These, however, were not exacted in this that instattax, as the parties
were sup posed to have acted in ignorance.

COVENT-GARDEN.

Guy Maxnering, which, since the accession of Bra•
ham, has become a greater favourite than ever, was
played here on Tuesday evening, when a Mrs Gar-
rich, from the Liverpool stage, appeared as the substi-
tute of Miss Stephens, who, since her visit to Derby,
has been indisposed. As an actress, Mrs. Garrick is per-
haps superior to her fair original ; she seemed well se.
quaintcd with the stage, and exhibited sufficient confi-
dence in herself, but in all the, requisites of song she
stands far below her. To judge her, however, by a
strict comparison with Miss Stephens would be un-
just, she is a Syren of no common kind, her voice
breaks like heavenly harmony on the ear, and when we
look on her, the shrinking modesty of her manner corn.
pletes the fascination. With all the disadvantages to
which a comparison with such a singer must subject *
debutante, Mrs. Garrick succeeded well, Ah I Slumber
my darling, was given with so much taste and sweetness,
that it received a_rapturous encore.

and with additional clauses, and was publishes' Isy.the Au-

plied to the foreign possessions of his Majesty, held Out the
the Royal indulgence to all persons confined for the crime of
insurrection, whetherproceeded against or not, whether pre.
sent or absent, provided that crime was committed anterior
to its publication. The Authorities in the Caraccas,to prevent
all doubt, and to remove all obscurity ou a point so important,
add the following interpretation of the Royal 'leniency.
That the pardon which his Majesty grants to those guilty of
insurrection being general and without any limitation whatever, there
shall be comprehended in it and enjoy its immediate benefits, all
persons implicated in revolutions anterior to its publication, what-
4ever may have been their speeches or their actions, unless there be
some other cause for their detention than their in.aurectionary con-
duct.
2. For the same reason, those shall remain fres and unmolested who
remain in the province without having been incarcerated.
3. That the restriction of the Royal pardon, with a reference to
Twiner provincial laws, shall be literally observed, only sending to
Spain such pardoned persons as may be thought dangennts to the
tranquility of the provinces by remaining in them.
The fourth article regards the mode in which the claims of de-
linquents to pardon shall be ascertained.
S. Six months are allowed to those who have fled to foreign court-
Aries to return and share the Royer! clemency.

SU:ZREY THEATRE.

The success which attends the performances at this
theatre, would induce one, not accustomed to visit it,
to beNeve that the company frequenting it arc not the
most fastidious ; but the fact really is, that the taste
and ingenuity of the Manager does furnish firth a
series of entertainments very superior to what is gene-
rally met with, or expected in our minor theatres.
Among its novelties, is a burletta called Turn Junes,
ibunded on the novel of that name, and into which the
author, with admirable dexterity, has crambed every
principal character in that immortal work. The whole
strength of the company is thrown into it, and with so
much effect, that it bids fair fur a most suLts.s..ful run.

We state, with much concern that the amiable Du.
chess of Wellington has been seriously indisposed for
many days, arrising frcm a dreadful accident, no lees
ti-an the breaking one of the tendons chille This
lamentable occurrence arose in a singular way. The
following are the facts :—I-ler Grace was reading a
letter from her illustrious husband, in which he said,
"in less than forty hours after the receipt of this I snail
be in London.'• The Duchess had proceeded tuns far,
when in burst the Duko. In the bullied anxiety to re-
ceive his welcome embrace, she few to his arms, in ti
unfortunately one, of her feet coming in contact :cith
a sal w or chair, she fell, and met with the accident
above related. A series of hysteric tiro followed, and
her Grace did not recover till she was carri.•d to bed.—.
The tits arose from extreme dejection, the result of ill.
health tir a long time past The report yesterday was
that the Duchess was rather better, but still confined to
hlr heti. _ _

of the great overflow tist.al b:netit nights, applied to this office to
obtain the rewires:. Ow gentleman statedshat he had taken planes,
but on ,procetaling to them found the box full, and the beekeeper
could not provide him with others. after waitin; considerable
time in tin: lobby, a Gentleman was pointed out to them whom they
.were told was Mr. Grove, and to whom they complained without
success. ilCy were afterwards told that:they would he shown into
a private brie, and a door was opened to them. after passing through
which, instead of entering as they. expected into a box, they lomat
theinselses to their mortification In the street. The Gentlenim
stated, that he was aware that he mast look for the tc-paymtiu of
the mire of the tickets from the person from whom lie put...lrked
them, and not from the Managers ; but he came to support,'as a
wim :ss, the complaint of the other two geutlenien and a lady. now
present in the office, who paid their money at the door on nn as-
surance that there wits plenty cf room, when there was not a seat to
be got. On demanding that their money should be returned, it was

Mr. Atkins, son to the Alderman. stated. thatproperty tea very
large amount had et Plait/US, times been-stolen front his fothers
peer ties . a plan had been fronted for the detection of the ruhlw•tr,,
which led to the apprehending of the prisoner. Mr. Fiddes, clerla

remaining forty-seven in six division; ; they began in
1607, completel it in three ytairs .; they met at Ox-
ford, Cambridge. and Westminster. Two persons from
each division t-eised the whole, wl:ch was afterwards
reviewed by Gilson, Bishop of Winton, aid I )r.
Myles :imith. The two persons prelv.ed the arguments
to the several books, and Dr. Smith, afterwards 13i hop
of Gloucester, wrote the preface to the folio Edition—
theniarginal references and chronological index was added
by Bishop' Lloyd: it was publi,lied in blank letter, in
1611, in folio ; but a quarto ehiitien was published in
the hollowing year in the Roman type : elthen-ii the
Romanists and I'reibyterians wove not pleased with it,
yet it was allowed by Cromwell's Committee to be the
bestextant. Thisis the work now in common use, and is
generally• called the received version ; and although
there have been many subsequent versions, and many
verbal improvements might be made in it, yet of all
those which have been published, this seems fairly to
be entitled to preeminence.
In the present age, although we have edvanced in
learning and philosophy, yet we have lost entirely in
our compositions, that solemnity and venerable expres-
sion which are essential to the Scriptures—which tend
tc keep alive their sanctity and importance—and to re-
mind their readers whose commends, and precepts, and
visitations, arc meant to be recorded, and the Divine
blessing fur which they have been brought to light, and
prepared !—The words now in use are not adequate to
any part of their subject, for there prevails a disposition
to familiarize all serious subjects with common idiom,
by which all inward reverence for tree religion is sup-
planted—but the pious translators of James I. seem to
have secretly appasl•d for Divine assistance, and to have
received it in suck a mea►ure as to render their work
the effe:t of piety, as well as learning, and a fixed
standard at the serious sublime, b which future times
should reverence ! A. H.

LORD STEWART'S EMOLUMENT.

Mr. BROUG on seeing a Noble lord in his place, was desir-
ous of asking a question. he begged to assure the Noble Lord
and the House, originated nut freer. any enmity, but from a spirit of
candour. The question to which he Finite(' for an answer, related to
the brother of the Noble Lord, who had, in an affidavit filed in a
Court of Justice. stated, that he was pos r •sod of en income cf tt;,0001.
per annum, as Ambassador to the Court of Vienn-:, and of 1,0001.
a year inure as Lord of the lied Chamber. ':he two •it:ations seemed
to hint incompatible ; for although the time which he dedicated to his
affairs during the late absence in this country did not exceed the usual
time, it was evident that he csuld not fill that of Lord of the lied
Chamber, which was requisite for the splendor and dignity of the
Crown, and at the same time perfunn his eludes at Vienna.
Lord CasT LE REAG It was certain that no motive* other than those
of public welfare influenced the Hon. and learned Member in pro-
posing this question. Ily the regulations of diplomatic service's, the
sccretary to the Embassy, who performed the deities during the ab-
sence of the Anmba•sador, was Aways remunerated from the salary of
the latter. In the loarticular ^ase to which he alluded. the Emperor
had announced his intention of matins tour through his dominions.
and stated, that the attendance of the diplomatic body would be dis-
penses! with. In relation to the ,ituation as Lord of the Bed Chamber,
he was not aware of the ne:r.sity of its being vacated in consequence
of the acceptance of any ether situation. There were many bituanens
of a similar description, which had escaped the vigilance of the
Learned Gentleman ; he would therefore leave the (louse to judge of
the reasons which caused the present Motion.
Mr. finooon AM said that lee was not acquainted with similar si
mations. The origin of the present Motion was in the affidavit filed
in the Court of Chancery, mid it was in hopes of an elucidation he had
asked the question.
