CI 111,

Monday la,t being Easter Monday, the Lord Mayor rereiyed
the visits of several of the Aldermen and their Ladies, together
with a number of other distinguished persons, at an early hour,
at the Mansion House, where a most excellent dejeune was pre-
pared for their refreshment. At eleven o'clock the boys helong7
ing to Christ's Hospital, each separate class being preceded by
their tutors, and each boy bearing some emblematic iwig•nia of
the branch of learning to which his study more immediately ap-
plied, walked in procession to the Mansion House, where they
were most kindly received. The principal Governors of thin
excellent Institution, the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, &c. then ac,
companied the boys to Christ's Hospital, where they heard a
sermon preached by the Bishop of Oxford, who chose his text
from the 10th chap. of St. Paul's Epistle to the Hebrews, MI?
and I,lth verse, In the evening the same company, together w
is li
several of the Ministers, the patriotic Spaniards. and other
rmi-
ent public persons, proceeded to the Nlawion If owe to dienwr.
At nine o clock the Lady Mayoress retired h the ball-rooet.
The ball was opened by the Lady Nlayoress mid she Larl +lf
Morton, who danced a graceful minuet ; hot the hall , room ‘s as
so crowded that it was some time before they could began coon,
try dances.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

The subject was introduced by Mr. Deputy GoonnEurnr,
in a speech of considerable length, in the course of which he
reviewed the conduct of successive administrations, aid the votos
of majorities in Parliament subject to their influence ; and as-
serted' the right which the Constitution vested in the ;lentil...,
legally convened ; and in that Court, to meet anti to discus; their.
grievances, and to petition each or all the hranches of the
Legislature fur redress. Ile adverted to various instances in w ich
questions had been brought forward for inquiring into public
abuses, and to the appointtneot of Committees to follow up such
inquiries ; hut obset ved, that Ministerial influence had been •eio
exerted, as to divide the leaders of those who supported soon
motions, and to defeat the operation of their purposes. The re.ult
was seen in the defeat of every effort fur the reform of public
abuses, and the detection and puuishment of public delinquents.
He therefore conceived, that upon no occasion were the
thanks of this Country, or of that Assembly, more deci-
dedly called for, than by the conduct of dust, individual
NTernher of Parliament, who hu4 the courage to arraign de-

bruised in a cruel manner; the lad immediately alarmed the
house and neighbourhood, who sent fur Mr. a surgeon
of Windsor, and by the account of the other lodgers in the
house and neighbourhood, they heard her call murder several
times about the hours of two or three in the morning, which
they frequently did at all hours. Suspicion fell upon one Bruin-
hall, a rough-rider in the. Royal Horse einards (Blues), who
lived with her, and had cohabited with her for five years $ she
has, been a married woman, and has left behind her several
children. Upon the evidence before the Clroner they proved
his frequently beating and ill treatinc, her, therefore they paid
no attention to her cries the time this happened ; but it came
out in evidence, that Brumhall was left with her at two o'clock
on Wednesday morning, and upon the corroborating evidence,
and that of Mr. Mr. Dent, and Mr. Thomns, Sur-
geons, who opened and examined the deceased, the Jury found
a verdict of Wilful Murder against-- Brumhall ; and ye-terday
moping he was sent off to Reading gaol, to take his trial at the
next Assizes. The Coroner's Inquest sat from ten o'clock in
the morning till one at night, before they could go through the
evidence, and determine on their verdict. The deceased was
kicked and bruised from the top of her head all over her body

to her feet, and some of her ribs broken.
Tuesday, a dreadful storm of thunder and lightning passed over
Bristol. The flashes were very viv id, and the peals exceeding' v
loud and near. A thunderbolt, or electric explosion, fell in the
office of the Bristol ( ' Lizette but the door being open, the elec-
tric matter escaped without doing any serious injury. The same
day, the electric fluid entered the chimney of a house at W hite-
hail, Bristol, belonging to Mr. Cardwell, and shattered it in a
most astonishing manner, blowing out five windows ith their
frames, and breaking the shutters to pieces. It took a direction
from the top to thu bottom of the house, entering the parlour,
burning part of the carpet to a cinder, and otherwise doing
considerable damage. Two horses were also killed near Dow v-
end.

AUGMENTATION OF TILE JUI,GES S 4 r EIUS.

The CH NC ELLOIL of the E X Cli CQUEIt said, that he did not
eoneelve any apology ss as due fmr brieging forward the present
sontiost, as when he had mentioned the subject in the last Ses.
It appears to be the unanimous sense of the House, that some
augmentation ought to be made in the salaries of the Judges.
He should also propose some further increase to the salaries of
the Welsh Judges. He had the satisfaction to inform the House,
that the Master of the Rolls had signified to him, that hr %vas
perfectly satisfied with his present salary, atal did not %viol for
any augmentation of it. The salary of the Chief Baron wits
tiow hut UM/. per annum, and that of the !mime JudgesSooo/.
Besides the diminution of these salaries from the Property and
Assessed Taxes, the averageexpence of going the Circuits stood
them in something more than 5001. annually. With such dimi-
buttons, the puisne Judges were unable to rapport themselves
in that respectable situation which became their rank, unless
Spey happened to have private fortunes, or not to be encum-
ered with families. The smallness of their salaries was such,
that it prevented in a great measure the situation of a Judge
from being the honourable object of ambition to those who
might be the best qualified to fill the station. It must be al;
lowed *hut it had not as yet prevented the Bench from being
filled with persons eminently fit for it ; but still he knew that
to ny nrofessional met, who had families, conceived they could
go: accent the situation of poisne Judge, without a most incon-
4e, e•c pecuniary sacrifice. The augmentation which he
pr.,pose,l was 10001. per annum to the Chief Baron, and the

MY LORD, Manle Alegre. May IS, 1809,.
When I determinei upon the expedition to the North of Por-
tugal, against Marshal ':'oult, I was in hopes that the Portu-
guese General Silvierra Would be able to hiold his post uport
' the Tamago, till he should be te;nforced ; by which, and by the
possessio►o of Chaves, the enemy's retreat would have been cut
off, excepting across the Mi'nho ; and I intended, if successful,
to press him so hard, that the passage of that river would have
been impracti'eable. The loss of the bridge of Amaranthe, how_
ever, on the id instant, altered our prospects ; I had no hopes

J"LVE ARTS.

Scarcely has the public curiosity been gratified by the
statue of the Duke of Bedford, in Russell-square, than it
is again called forth in an unusual degree, by two compart-
ments of relievo, from the chissels of Flaxman and Rossi.
They are situated on the west front of the new Covent-
Carden Theatre. The scaffolding was removed on Thurs-
day last, since which period they have been visited by
thousands of th;s metropolis. We sincerely wish that this
display orthe skill of our native artists may excite a cor-
responding taste in the public mind, satisfied as we are,
that whatever can eleva:e the mind or improve the taste,
will have a similar effect upon the morals of the rommu-
mity. The building itself has risen from the ashes of the
former theatre, in a style of grandeur and magnificence, of
which we have had but few specimens in this country. It
brings to our recollection those periods in the history of
architecture, when the sublime effect of a whole was not
frittered away or sacrificed to an ostentatious displa v of parts.
We congratulate the public, and we congratulate Mr.
Sinirke upon this revival of a taste at once bold, simple,
and magnificent.
The public hive been favoured (we presume by the artists
themselves), with the following explanation of the allego-
tical allusions of these. designs :

TUE ANCIENT DRAMA•

In the centre, three Creek Poets are sitting, the two looking
towards the portico, are Aristophanes, representing the Old
Comedy, and (nearest to the spectator) Menander, represent-
ing the New Comedy,—Before them Thalia pre.ents herself
with her crook and comic mask, as the object of their imitation.
She is followed by Polyhymnia playing on the f renter lyre;
Euterpe on the lesser lyre. Clio. with the long pipes, and
Tersichore, the Muse of Action nr Pantomime. These are
succeeded by three Nymphs crowned with the leaves of the fir-
pine, and in succint tunics, representing the hours or seasons,
governing and attending the winged horse Pega,us.
The third sitting figure in the centre, looking from the portico,
is Nschylus, the father of Tragedy. He holds a scroll open
on his knee; his attention is fired on Wisdom, or Minerva,
seated opposite to the Poet. She is distlngui•lted by her helmet
and shield. Between /Eschylus and Minerva, Bacchus stands
leaning on his fawn, because the Greeks represented Tragedies
in honour of Bacchus. Behind Minerva stands Melpomene, or
Tragedy, holding a sword and masks then follow two Furies,
with snakes and torches pursuing Orestes, who stretches his
bands to supplicate Apollo for protection. Apollo is repre-
seated in the quadriga, or four horsed chariot of the Sun. The
last described figures relate to part of lEschylas's Tragedy of
Orestes.
London, England, 1809-08-27

THE MODERN DRAUfA•

In the centre (looking from the Portico) Shakespear IA sitting
the Comic and Tragic Masks, with the Lyre, are about his seat ;
his right hand is raised, expressive of railing up the following
characters in the Tempest:—First, Caliban laden with woad;
next Ferdinand, sheathing his sword; then Miranda, entreat-
tug Prospero in behalf of her lover; they are led on by Arid
above, playing on her lyre. This part of the composition is
terminated by Hecate (the three formed Goddess) in her car,
drawn hy oxen, descending. She is attended try Lady Macbeth,
ith the daggers in her hands, followed by Macbeth turning in
horror from the body of Duncaw behind him.
In the centre, looking towards the portico, is Milian, seated,
gontemplating Urania, according to his own description in the
Paradise Lost. Urania is seated facing him above; at his

POLITICAL EVEATS OP TUB 0 ZEE'.

The splendid and meridian rays of hope which the Tic-
. i
tory of Talavera shed upon the political liorizon,.have been
obscured by ihe intelligence whicti 'was received front
Spain on Thursday last, and vAlicii has been since confirm-
ed by other private communications. Although the official
dispatches from Sir A. WELLFLEY have not yet been re-
ceived by Government, they are said to have been sent
from Sir A. WELLESLEY intmedi•atelv upon to.c; arrival at
Delectosa, and to have been forwaried by Admiral BFRICE-•
. LEY in the Britannia cutter. Sir A. WrwlLEr is state. 4
to be perfectly confident that he cannot be attacked to
advantage in this position, or that if he were, he should be
able to defend himself till reinforCements arrive. This state
of things is certainly very unexpected, and we reluctantly
acknowledge the skill and energy which after a Cefeat so
very decisive, the French Generals have displayed, and by
means of which they have in turn become the assaint:,—.
The French seem to have formed a pretty aocur.‘te oti-
mate of the Spanish soldiery—men whom the enthusiaiin
of liberty will not excite, eau only form the lumber of an
army. Notwithstanding the general terms in which Sir'
ARTanit'S dispatch was worded, it was obvious to the com-
mom sense- of the country that the Spaniards were either.
cowards or traitors, it could not be necessary for 35,000 men
to keep t& !;. .1. owed for 28,000, who were fighting their battles.
Their conduct was repugnant to every natural, to every
manly fccling or the, in.kud, and if the Spanish cause is only
to be supported by British blood, there is we fear an end of
it. It does not appear that the Spanish Junta are even at-
tentive to provide our troops with the necessaries of life,.
much less with the recitkis.ites for a campaign. They had
better employ themselves in procuring mutton for the armies
we send to their assistance, than in sending their flocks to.
this country. If either of these duties were to he neglected
certainly it was not the former. But this they should have'
done, and not have left the other undone. •
No ad vices that we have received since our last, remove,
the incertitude, which prevailed, respecting the Armistice
between France and Austria, contradictory reports are still
circulating. The Hamburg!' Papers of the 1 I th, allude to a
report from Brandenbtirgli, tlkat notice had been given to
tecininate the Armistice. And other reports from Moravia
recognize the fact of the Archduke Cnaimr.s having re-
tired from the command of the Austrian army,, and eonfirm,
the appointment'of Prince Jon x. We are not of opinion
with some of our brother journalists, that the delay which
.
has occurred between the report of the notice having beea
given of the Armistice, and the confirmation of that report
.
nalates against its probability. We are not of opinion,

POLITICAL DISQUISITION.

NV MR LH EIGHTY-FOUR.

TO WILLIAM COBBETT.

You have condescended to treat the public with the very
dregs aad cads of your beastly imagination. If the prin-
ciples you desseminate were insufficient to point out the
port:on of the people to whom your lucubrations are
really addressed, the language you employ would effectually
remove all doubt. For two or three :;aiarday's you were
silent about Mr. WARDLE, uncertain what would be the
conduct of the party with whom you. are connected, or
whether such a degree of infamy. attached to him as would
render it impossible to afford any assistance in recovcsing
the fragments, the dlljeeta membra of his fallen character.
Your Register of the 19th of. Aiirust tells the public it is
the interest of every one to Mr. WNRDLE against
the " vermin" who attack him, and• perhaps the English
language does not furnish an instance in which the low dis-
gusting origin, the habits and education of a filthy writer
are more appropriately delineated than in the, sentence
which announces your iuieution of Impelling the. attacks
which have been made upon the god cf your idolatry. As
the circle of your Political Register is every da becoming
more circumscribed, and as few readers of the Notional
Register will probably have seen it, I Will transcribe it ver-
batim; and if, afier perusing it, there can be two opinions
entertained of the miscreant who has insulted the public
by such beastly nonsense, I shall be more surprised than
am already at your having been so long tolerated.
do not agree with my correspondent, that the coun-
try • vermin,' as he emphatically calls them, are beneath my
notice; for though I a,;ree with him, that it is most pro-
bable, frum what we have recently seen, that they were
• blown at me by their masters in town, as the beggars in
• Ireland blow lice at those against whom they have a spite ;'
;till, to follow upon the comparison, he will agree, 1 sup-
pose, that it is necessary to squeeze the said lice, and not to
.
pretend that they are beneath your notice."
You havre spent a great deal of- time in your last
paper, in giving to the public, reasons why Mr. WARDLE
ought not to be angry at . what is said about his conduct.
You would not .certainly have thrown this advice away if
it had been unnecessary, or if it had not been calculated to
produce some etkct upon the only mind where such ad-
vice could produce it, viz. Mr. Waanne's. The conclusion
is irresistible, and it is neither illogical or unfair to deduce
that Mr. Waani.r: has been angry. Indeed we know- he
has, and Sir RICHARD PHILLIPS too. But why not try the
influence of the same reasoning upon yourself. What is
good for the goose, they. say is good for the gan(fer, and the
rune considerations, which ought to allay the feverish heat
of Colonel WARDLE'S anger, should prevent you from
cursing, swearing, damning, • and stumping. Yes, you Mr.
CORBETT, for the writer of this knows that you dil all and
