dimolatleb Parliameati arrested and thrown into the
lines Beim\ Paseo, where he continued till the general
election, iiken two Candidates, possessing eery emikiderable
interest, after having warmly evavaased the county, were put
in nossinarista by their respective frieuds, on the day of elec.
lion; but to their utter astosishasent, Denial of the electors
spoolanevitsly CMS e forward, aud publicly declared it to be
their iris determantion to re-elect Mr. Masai, their former
faithful Repenestatiee,fres of miry appease!

That Zesidensen was accordingly put in nomination, and
the 'minimum, seal mid activity 'viewed by a decided undo-
city df the electors in his lobelia, completely overawed hie
uppoliehts, that Sky immediately relinquished the contest,
and NI r.lll•Jcia was elected by acclamation !
A deputation wee afterwards appointed to wait upon their
Representative in the King's Beath, front whence (after the
writ had beim produced to the Marshal) be was instantly
liberated, and carried to the Crown sad Anchor Tavern, to
partake of a sumpiness dinner prepared fur kiwi by his con-
stituents on so triumphant sad gratifying an oft-wawa.
This was a truly praies-worthy act, and it would confer
inintortal honest on the wortby and indepeadent Livery of
Londe'', were they, at the .awing general election, to follow
so glorious a precedent, by electing as one of their Represen-
tative', and miesequeally Mieratlegfrom sprison, t►e vene-

It seems odd that there should be such a cry for
short Parliaments. as if (to barrow a pleasantry
from one of the badge Family) the people had not
short Commons enough in all conscience.
TIMATAIL-011 Friday evening that favourite
actor, Mr. RUSSELL, of Drury-lane, who is en-
gaged fair three nights, made his appearance at
Gloucester, after an absence of ten years. He was
welcomed by an enthusiasm of applause, and per-
formed the characters of Dr. 011opod and Jerry
Sneak in a style which evinced the undiminished
excellence of that power of attraction for which he
has so long been justly celebrated. He appeared
again on Saturday evening, and will close his en-
gagement on Wednesday.

The melo.draina entitled The Falls of Clyde,
was produced at the Bath Theatre on Monday.
The most prominent characters were sustained
W.
Messrs. CHATTERLET and FOOT. and Mrs. W.
WM. The Farmer Enfield of CitarreaLEv was
a delightful piece of acting. Mrs. W.' WIC*T.II
face and person are exactly suited to the part of
Ellen Enfield. Her acting alone, independent of
the merits of the piece, is sufficient to insure its
success.—(Bath Paper.)

The dirk of the ancient Thane of Fife, mid to
have been presented by the modern Lord of that
name to Mr. KEAN, turns out to be only the "air-
drawn dagger" of Macbeth.
Among the Students who obtained prizes in the
University of Edinburgh. this Session. for English
&arm was Mr. JOHN TODD, of Sheffield, son of
Mr. Wm. TODD, printer of The .Sheffield Mercury.

On Saturday, about t 4 o'clock, Lord and Lady
HARCOURT, Lord CLARIB, Lord ROCKSAVAGE,
and about thirty other Ladies and Gentlemen,
visited Newgste. They were conducted through
the different Wards by Sheriff ALDERSON and Mr.
BROWN, the keeper, accompanied by that truly be-
nevolent character, Mrs. FRT. They inspected the
whole establishment, and minutely examined the
proviviou and accommodation which the prisoners
received.

iATI.OIS, Keg M.P. v. the COUNTII of ANTRIM and
OTIIRIRS

The 1.0110 CHAMCFLI.OIa—" This matter Gist rime be-
fore me in the shape of a Petition frown Mra. Paylor, the
paternal aunt tied lestainentary guardian of this youmg
lily, praying that I elitiold restrain, by injuuetiusi, the
Court's* of Autrion, the souther of the Haim', fruits hav-
ing say intercourse with her ; and this was presesiked as
mere matter of coarse. I had hardly tithe to dispioe of
that Petitioo; when the Petition of the tousles* of Antrim.
was presented to me, praying that it might be referred to
the Master SO report whet settlement ought to i.e wade
the marriage of Lord Stewart with Ipr daughter, the in-
fant, setting furtk, that she approved of the :mewled
Marriage, without saying uue wort' os to the approbst a ur
disapprobation of llhe. Taslur ; mid it was wely by Mrs.
Taylor's Petition haVing beets presented to toe brat, that 1
knew she disapproved of marriage. The cleae thew stood
dons:—One guardian cunsenied to the marriage—the other
dissested ; and 1 acted as 1 have always dune in such caws--
1 ordered all the parties to appear before ;un which Lord
Stewart presented a Petition, praying that it alight be re-
ferred to the Master to intliiire and report whether it was a
GI said proper marriage fur the infant, and if the Master re-
ported that it was, that he @Wald receive proposals for a
suitable marriage seltleasent. 'llia certainly is a marked

expression—for why use the term " suitable marriage settle-
ment ?" as it appears to me, as it must appear to every per-
iwig, the cleat difficulty the Master would have in deter-
miniog on a suitable settlement, where one guardian Ap-
proves of the marriage, awl the other dues not. The differ-
ent opining and feelings of these guardians I have nothing
to do with, further than concerns the welfare of the infant.
Sitting where I do, my care, my consideration, and I may
add anxiety, must uuly be applied to the ward of Court.
This case has been reduced to two questions. The first is,
whether Lord Stewart's proposal of marriage is entitled to
the usual reference to the Master? arid I may say that it is
out in the memory of man that suds • reference was ever
refused by this Court. But let me nut be inisimikrstouel, for
I think there may be occasions and übjectious that would
jestify this Court in refusing a reference. For the present
I shall only observe, that 1 don't make that remark as hearing
on the preseut ease, but,speaking in general terms, such cases
Enid occur. The other question is, whether the Countess
of Antrim should be restrained from having any intercourse
with her daughter Lady Francis, except in the presence of
Mrs. Cayes? I have thought it my duty to inquire and to
ascertain the situation of this ward, since she has been un-
der the guardialiship of this Court. 1 And that her father,
the late Sir Henry Vane Tempest, died on the 6th of Au.
gust, 1813, at which time this infant was only in her 13th
year. Ou that occasion, it was referred to the Master to
conflate sad report what allowance ought to be made to
the infest for mainteuassee and education. The Master ac-
cordiagly made his report on the 2411 r of 51sy, 1814, and it
set forth, that the testator, by his will, appointed two guar.
dean foe the infant—the Countess of Antrim (her mother)
and Mrs. Taylor (her paternal &taut). Uses that occasion it
was set forth in affidavits, what was the wish of the testa-
tor relative to the care of his child, Lady Frances, in case
her mother the Countess should enter into a second mar-
riage. On this occasion there certainly were very strung
aniertion on bulb sides. It is not my intention to
my say thing inure now on that subject, fur I must take
the will of the testator as my guide. Great difficulty oc-
curred in the Master's office relative to the plea of educa-
tion for the infant; however, lb, Master at length reported
that she ought not to live with either of her guardians, but
that shashould be Guider the care and se perinteseisace of Mrs.
Cayes, mid the Court coadirmed that report; and by the
order of the Coast, Mrs. Cayes was restrained front allow-
iag the infant to make visits, except short ours, to her
mother and aunt, except by the mutual consent of the testa-
watery goardiaas. Sun time afterwards there was SO ap-
plication made to the Court by the Countess of Antrim re-
lative to the health of the infest, and that it was necessary
that she should go to the sea-side, and praying that the
Court would grant the necessary fiord to enable the in-
faut to be sent there. It is not necessary fur me to
state what passed in the Master's office on this occasion.
The Court, ho granted the feud, and directed that she
should be attended to the sea-side by Mrs. Cayes, she car-
rying with her the order of the Court of 1814 and soy
breach of which, on the part of Mrs. Cayes, would have
been a contempt of Court, of a nature that I should not
have overlooked g sad while .at the sea-side, in 1816, it is
stated is Mrs. Taylor's affidavit, sad trot denied by the
Caniotess, sad 1 must say properly slated by Mrs. Taylor,
as her male suspicion of the coutrivauee and collusion in
the premed instance, that the Countess on that occasion en-
tered into an engagement to marry the infant, who was only
then 18 years of age, with • gentleman who was connected
with the fussily of an Irish Nobleman, and that he was ac-
tually sent for to Ireland, and brought over to this country,
for the purpose of being introduced to Lady Frances. This
the infant herself informed Mrs. Taylor of, and that her mu.
they pee her the iuformation, with au injunction' that she
was to keep it secret (runt her, Mrs. Taylor, and Mrs. Cayes.
The introduction of the young gentleman was postponed
until the infant was at the sea coast. Mrs. Cayes, imme-
diately on its taking place, most properly informed Mrs.
Taylor of the eitcumstanee ; and by the rensonstraness
of the latter lady the agreement, or treaty of marriage,
was put an end to in the year 1816. Tins statement
is not contradicted ; but if it is nut true, it might have
been contradicted by the Countess of Antrim. These eir-
cumstasees certainly were sufficient to induce Mrs. Taylor
to make the present application to the Court, which gives
me the present painful duty to perform. It was iiieunsistent
with the duty that the Countess of Autrim owed to this
Court, to have entered into such • negocietion as she
did in 1816. Some lime after this an application was made
to the Coed, to vary the mode of the education of the in-
fant. It was referred to the Master to report; but from the
circumstance of the proceeding in his office, he did not
make his report until the Bth of March, 1816, in which it
was directed that the Want should be presented to Coen in
1617, which event, however, did not take platy instil the
116th of February in the present year. It was also directed,
that the infant should not make any visits except accompa-
nied by either Mn. Taylor or the Countess, but if either
guardian objected to the visits of the infest with
the other, on giving notice to Mrs. Cayes, she was rot to
permit them in future. What has beer the management of
this Wrest while these proceeding were in the Master's
office I de at tsar but I can collect sufficient to believe
that it has not been ;hat kind of care and numagement, that,
the (groin of this Court, car be considered as due care
of an barest. It is perhaps necessary fur me to say, that
there sena to have been an impression goat out to the
public that 1 would not do my duty in this case. I admits-
ledge that, perhaps, there
at a this bench • but why ? because I know I am
liable to error, and see afraid of doing wrong. In all
my professional experiesice, and is my judicial situation,
however that timidity may be mined, I trust there is out
ore mu who will attribute it to any motive but that from
which it springs—fear of doing my fellow man air injury.—
Sillies where I have for such a length of time, those that are
daily witnesses of my combiet, will, I believe, assert, that I
Never allowed my political situatioa to mix with my judi-
cial ere. Then why should I be slareirred by anonymous
letters altakieg such • charge against me? I hare • Master
who I respect—whoa I venerate; but if he was to ask me to
