THE THEATRE.-After a season; which has ill-
requited the active zeal and adventurous liberality
of Mr. ELLISTON in the management of Druty
Lane Theatre, it closed last night with the
opera of Incle and Yarico. At the end of
the play Mr. ALEXANDRE, the celebrated
Ventriloquist, gave his exhibition, which, for
correctness and variety of character; and changes
of the human voice, must be deemed the most
surprizing as well as amusing of its kind that has
ever appeared in any country, and which was
justly received with universal applause. •
The Bill of Fare, or Inquire Within, is a
farcical sketch, in one act, written to introduce •
the performers to the audience on the re-opening
of the Theatre. A Provincial Manager and a
Country Innkeeper advertise under a similar
signature for actors and servants ; and, by the
waggery of a London Landlord, the actors are
introduced to the Innkeeper, and the cham-
bermaid, waiters, book-keeper and coachmen,
to the Manager. During the mistakes re-
sulting from this cross arrangement, each per-
former has a short scene calculated to display
their respective talents, and make a bow to the
town, and the piece concludes with a very shewy
scene of the exterior of the new Haymarket
Theatre, illuminated i❑ honour of the Benefit
given to the Suffering Irish Peasantry, with a
partial view of the Opera House and surrounding
new Buildings.
FIRE.—A fire broke out on Thursday morn- •
ing in the warehouse of Mr. BROADWATER, sail
manufacturer, at Horsleydown, which destroyed
the house and several adjoining houses.

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

ItITRACTS• FROM THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS,.
June 15, 18'22.

{MORNING POST.]
Au important discussion arose in the House of
commons last night, on the presentation of the
Bite Petition voted by the County of Kent, pray-
ing for a reduction of. the interest of the National
Debt. We trust .the conduct of some Members
of tie Opposition on this occasion, and the re-:
ception which that conduct experienced, will
awaken the, great interests of the nation to the
revolutionary and destructive principles at the
bottom of ail Radicalism. If a few individuals
are allowed, at the head of a discontented 'yeo-
manry, distressed by war rents, to clamour down
the grea. -and immutable rules of right and jus-
lice which his Majesty's Ministers uphold, it'
will belie the exalted. opinion Which the world
has always entertained of Englishmen. The
cloven foot is now appearing, and the evil spirit
should be crushed at once by the general in-
ignation of the country. If the Agriculturists
begirt to demand a sacrifice of other men's
' property, we presume other classes equally in-
terested will express their opinion upon such a
proposition. The City of London is as much en-
titled to be heard in Parliament as the County
of Kent, and the Inhabitants of Westminster
may find it wise to state their sentiments to the
House of Commons in opposition to those of their
Representatives. For our part, we are not more
shoc.ked at the injustice of violating public faith
than at the ignorance which the idea betrays on
the. universal ruin, to which it must lead. Be-
cause the funds are necessarily higher in time of
peace than during the brunt of a desperatt war
—because capital, which was then employed
in speculating in the monopolized trade of
the globe, is now placed for want of another
channel in the stocks—because 'the general
resources of the country are high, and public
credit therefore risen—are we forsooth to con-
clude that all these have resulted from some
unknown act of wilful dishonesty ? Are we
upon such grounds to think of breaking solemn
'contracts and defraudin# the public ? Could we
"be so base, or wicked enough, for one moment,
'to harbour the thought, it would soon be found
that the National Debt had reduced itself. The
Stocks must instantly fall to their lowest price
curing the war; and would our revolutionary
_Financiers then proceed farther and guillotine
them down to some lower imaginary standard of
Justice? The country is bound to set its face at
once boldly and firmly against such vain and per-
fidious schemes. The British character should
ibe above suspicion and the. lowest murmur of
public fraud be silenced for ever. We are con-
fident this will be the case. As to the idea of
trenching in the slightest degree upon the pro-
perty of the National Debt, it is impossible;
'but we again say, if -the notion should be further
mentioned in Parliament, the Nation is bound
to Quash it once for all.

[MORNING HERALD.]
A Petition is preparing by the makers of silk
goods against Mr. Wallace's Warehousing Bill.
It seems that they are not convinced of the
policy of exhibiting in the same warehouse, and
on the' sama counter to an American or West
India merchant, a piece of British silk goods, in
comparison with a piece of French silk goods,
the latter which every English woman knows to
be-so much better and cheaper than the English.
Through Mr. Davenport, the silk throwsters
have carried their point, of getting " thrown
silk" excluded from this Anti-British Manufac-
turers Act ; and the makers of silk goods are
now on the alert to procure the exclusion also of
French and other silk goods.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
The Marquis of Lansdown, is an eloquent
and comprehensive speech, last night brought the
state of Ireland under the consideration of the
House of Lords. He described, in forcible
terms, the multiplied evils, political and moral,
growing out of the judicial, magisterial, fiscal,
and tithe systems, and proposed a resolution
irc plying the necessity for inquiring into the sub-
ject, " with a view to improve the condition of
the people, and secure the tranquillity of the
country." This was met by the Earl of Liver-
pool with the previous question, which was car-
ried by a majority of 48—the numbers being,
Contents GO--Non-contents 108.

A very interesting conversation took place last
night in the House of Commons on the subject of
the County of Kent Petition. The fate of Mr.
Western's motion we considered decisive of any
attempt to restore a paper currency. The con-
versation of last night will probably prove equally-
decisive against any proposition for the reduc-
tion of the interest of the national debt.—(Lid.)

[NEW TIMES.'
Debates of considerable length took place in
both Houses of Parliament last night. In the
-House of Lords the state of Ireland was the sub-
ject under consideration. In the House of Com-
mons the Alien Bill again gave rise to a debate
of uncommon interest and animation.

The money market continued to be rather de-
pressed yesterday. This is not at all attribut-
able to political causes, which indeed are, at pre-
sent, as favourable as possible for a rise ; but it
-was owing to a scarcity of money, principally
occasioned by the purchases which are making
in the foreign Stock market.—(Thad.)

leading article expressive of its opinions, and

Extracts from THE LONDON JOURNALS.

A number of locusts, many of them measuring
three inches in length, with horns shaped like
those of the stag, alighted on Wednesday last in
a field at Kingswood, in Somersetshire, several
of which were picked up by the neighbouring
peasantry.
