FOUCATJLT.

YESTERDAY Lord HENRY PETTY propose& in the
Flouse of Commons an additional Dlity of Ten per
Cent. upon the Assessed T4xes, in lied of the Tax
upon. Private Brewing. He also stated the nature
of the relief which he proposed to extend to per-
sons with large families and small incomes, under
the Property A&, viz. a-
.dedu6tion of 4 per Cent.
ifor each child above two, to persons not being as-
sessed at more than 401 a-year.

The Election Treating Bill, introduced' by
TIERNEY, was' yesterday negatived in the House of
Commons. We 'some time ago, in animadverting
upon this Bill,. observed, that it would certainly tend
to abridge the number of Eledors and it was on
this very ground that Mr. Fox last night acknow-
ledged himself unfriendly to it.

The report which has for the last two days been
prevalent, that Lord HOwicx had been prevailed
upon to accept the Governor-Generalship of India,
was this day more confidently circulated. The ta-
lents of. the Noble Lord, the general estimation in
which his chara6ter is held, and the independence of
his situation, in point of property, render him not
only eligible for such an important station, but
amply quay him to discharge it with honour to
himself and his Country..

The Racehorse S/OOp of War,: with a Fleet under
Convoy for the Mediterranean, arrived at Cork on
the 4th instant. •

Sunday evening at . seven o'clock His MAJESTY
and three of the PRINCESSES, came on the Terrace,
to the high gratification of the numerous visitors.

Lord CRANLEY and Lady ILCHESTER were among
the company. Her Majesty's Band played, for the
first time this season,- with the addition of kettle-
.drums, which lately came from Hanover; they were
beat•in a masterly style by Master KELLNER. The
ROYAL FAMILY remained till half past eight.
Yesterday morning His MAJES rY, the DUKE of
YORK and PRINCESSES, rode on horseback by Cran-
bourne Lodge. His MAJESTY iS expected in town
to-morrow.

Yesterday morning the DUCHESS of YORK left ,
town for Oatlands. The DUKE set off for Windsor
on military business with His MAJESTY, ,arid after-
wards went to Oatlands, where he will remain dux-
ingAscot Races.

-All the passebgers.on board the Lady li;u7ges 'were

Purser.

One hundred and eighty-four persons were on
board the Lady Barges, 34 of whom were lost.

There was, not any bullion un board the Lady
Borges ; the packets of dispatches and letters ere
not saved, owing to the very great surf, which pre-
vented the Captain from maKing any effort to get
them out of the Ship.
The Boats of me Leopard made great exertions,
otherwise more persons would have gone down with
the Ship.

THE THEATRE.—The Hay Market Theatre open-
ed for the season last night, with Tie Mountaineers.
The part of, Oblavian was performed by Mr. RAE,
who has, we understand, acquired considerable re-
putation on the Bath Stage. Mr. RAE is a hand-
Some genteel-looking young man ; his features are •
regular and expressive.; he has bold piercing eyes,
and he poSsesses altogether what -is generally called
a good stage face. His voice has considerable corn-
pass.' The loWer tones are very deep and somewhat
haish. His action is easy, and apparently prompted
by his feelings. The charader of 06/avian was
avowedly written with a purposed adaptation to the
talents and qualities of the original performer, and his
representation of it so fully embodied the design of the
author as to preclude alibis successors from an oppor-
tunity of placing it in a new point of view.—Mr. RAE,
of course, was, obliged.to follow the original model,
but there seemed to be something,of enthusiasm in
his manner that indicated native genius. He had a
strong party of friends in the house,. but he was very
w(t,ll received by the audience in general. Mr.
WHITFIELD, an ador long known to the Public, and
whose efforts were always marked by good sense,
was last night properly restored to the stage, in the
part of Beicaiim Muley, which he performed in a
very respeotable manner. The Theatre,has received
a great acquisition in Mrs. GLovEft, who performed
the part of Florantlte. Her talents are certainly best
fitted for comedy, but she always displays feelins
and 'a just concepticin of charader. The Theatre was
much better attended than is usual at the opening of
the season.
