The very pleasant Comedy of Sbe Stops tcear.
- per, was last night 'performed at,this Theatre, but .
not .with such a farce of talents as 03 constitute a
powerful attradion. The Part of Mr. Ifoitattie,
which affords ample opportunity for the exertion $f
comic hurnour,'was very indifferently suppcirted by-
Do WTON. This part should have been allotted 'to .
' KING or Sl:intr.'', who possess real humour wish
the advantage of experience.' In truth, we neier
saw the part, so miserably represented, or Dowlos
to .so little advantage. We may be pcsmittcd, to -
say thus much,'reeolleding the exquisite homouiof
Stoma in this Chara&er. He was the otigitial
representative of it, and such an 4aor. as far- el-
celled fife colleelive merits of the present: race of
i'cotifeclians.- 13ANN [ATE R; Jun. succeeded tolerably
well in Tony laiinplin, by not attempting too' much..
Mrs. Sowtt.Ev, who first came forward at ,this
Theatre
.io the charafter of Roxalana, performed
the part of Miss Hardcastk, She is young, pretty, .
and has the manners of a Gentlewoman, but wevine
not-speak highly in favour of her comic powefs,„
nor do we thipk that she shews the discrimmatign,
oganisitelligent mind. Her deportment, hckweVer2
is easy; and she-does-not seem to be affe6led, there-
fore with a.kittle more pradiee she may become-,
0 useful, thoggit.lt present, she holds forth no great
promise; of superior..excellence. The rest-of the
Charattbis were supported- in so feeble a manner*,
thit their ripicjiiiiitativls .trtiy well be content eq

TheatiC, was the Tiagedy of Othello. POP s perform-
ed the sable hero of the Piece with less than his usual:
ability, and with:Still less of hii usual circa. With
such orgaoiu requisites, it is to be regretted that he
seems so- little- capable of profiting brestperivnee.
Instead_of the manly hero softened by love, and
agitated by jealousy, Othello was a whining and
a blubbering blusterer. in short, in our °pink%

FROM THE SELECT. CofsIMITTE‘ Or THE HOUSE
OF COMMONS, RESPECTING
,THE RLIGIBILITY
Of' PERSONS IN HOLY ORDERS TO SIT IN THE

HOUSE.

The Selea ComMittee appointed to examine the Journals
of this House,' and Records.Of Parliament, for Precer
dents reSpeeling the Ellgihiliiy. of Persons in Holy
Ordors to sit in this House : and to Report-thd same
• to the House;-=have proceeded in 'the examination-
direCted by the House ; and have agreed upon the fol-
iowing'Report:- •
In prosecuting the Inquiry direaed by the House,
your Committee have thought it right to direct. a
search to be made into all the. Returns to Writs
......I#Aue4 for the Eledion of Members to serve in Par-
,.,; t,. from the earliest period in Which they are
z0nt,,,7 to the present time ; with a view of ism-
rom the additions to the names in such
:~.-Returns,= whether any ,of the Clergy were. therein
They find; from the result of this search,
tbat in the early periods; previous ,to the Bth'Hen.
IV. when the w-aaiee of returning Citizens and
. Burgesses by Indentures annexed to the 'Writ, first
prevailed, the names are generally returned without
any addition whatever, 'except 'in the, instance of
•.,tnights, and the general addition to each Return of
"Citiiens and Burgesses." Your Committee find,
towever,. that in five instances, during that period,
ioarticularly specifiett.under the Third Head in the
:following part of this Report,. ,the addition of
4Clericus" appears tothe names' therein econtAintd.
'Mat trom.the Bth Hen. ITT, .}he additions are more
"frequent and particular, containing often the- addi-;.
tion, 44 Sadler, Mercer," and the like but none
that 'Mertens,' except in the single instance of
Rhtl-Robson, who appears to be the person whose
eturn was declared void by the Hoiise in the 18th

"Of same-Of:these descriptions to •Persons- .in :HI)ly
..Opilets,. Your. Committee have thought_ it :fit to in.
~..,
sett all.those thit can possibly admit. of such actm-
.. atruCtion, though fully aware that mauy.of them are
well known, to be Civilians only. -
In the examination. of the Rolls and Journals of
I'arliament, your Committee have thought. it their
duty to lay before the House, such *passages as came
.under their observation in a diligent search.thiaugh
the,,whole, asappeared to them likely to throw any
:.light, by Way of argument, as well as dired Pre-
tedent,.: on the point in question.
They have not thought it necessary to add.to
their Report, any 'Statnte printed by Authority
wl*h.Might appear connected with this subjen ;
but finding that an A& of the r6th Car. I. which
was repealed ;by an Ad of the 13th Car. 11. is not
so printed,- thi7y have subjoined a copy of it from
the original Roll, together with the proceedings in
rigliament whiCh may' be necessary to explain the
Objet- of it.
..
.The result of the whole,they have arranged under
the following Heads:—
• .
. -j.--Summons of the Clergy to Parliament—par_
-ticalar instances of the mode of exercising their
funetions there—their priVileges consequent to such
.fttiendance.
IL—Taxation of the Clergy.
lII.—All such instances as could furnish any pre.
gumption, of individuals in. Holy Orders having
been returned 4‘. Member, of the Mouse of Coin.
,irons. Under this.head, however, your Committee
...think it right to • remark, that though they. have ,
inserted the Case of Sir Thomas Haxey, Clerk, as
having given rise to different opinions among writers
upon this subjea, they find, upon an examination
timetted-by•thern into the Returns, still perfect 'and
'octant in the Tower? :of the zoth year of Ric. 11.
that' no such name occurs amongst them—and that,
