aggression—Securities whhh the present Bill
tends altogether to remove.

Mr. BARING last night presented a petition
from the Ship Caulkers in the yard of Messrs.
CURLING and YouNG. It -,Appears that these
men are entirely satisfied with their wages
and their etnployers, but because they con-
duct themselves with quietness, and are NOT
Members of the River Thames Caulkers Union,
they have laid themselves open to con-
stant annoyance, abuse, and intimidation.—
This cannot be permitted, and strongly shews
the absolute necessity of something being
done to prevent the industrious being "thus in-
terfered with by the idle and discontented,_
and to protect them in the enjoyment of their
gains, and the honest exercise of their labori-
ous avocations. We know the subject is one of
difficulty, but we know the difficulty can be
met, and expect a great deal from the Committee
now sitting on the subject. The Petition that
has given rise to these remarks, will be found at
length amongst the Parliamentary debates in
another part, of this Paper.

The WelHugon has arrived from Bombay.—
She sailed from Bombay on the 26th December, and from Tel-
licherry, on the 15th Jan. The 11 ibberts is also arrived from
Bombay, which settlement she left on Jan. 8. The Fairlie like-
wise arrived yesterday morning; she left Bengal on the 22d
Dec., Madras on the 11th Jan., and St. Helena in March—the
day not known. By the letters received through these vessels, it
appears that up to the 26th of December there had been no
further military' operations in the neighbourhood of Rangoon.
Several reinforcements had joined the expedition. The 20th
Regiment from Cananore, and another King's regiment from
Ceylon, were also daily expected. No advice had been received
of the advance of the troops at Chittagong.

Lieut.-General Sir II ENRY WARDE, K.C.8.,
Governor of Barbadoes, and Commander of the
forces in the West Indies, it is expected will
have the above island for England in the ensu-
ing month, attended by all his personal Staff.
He will embark on board the Duchess of York
transport, as no ship of war is on the station that
cairlie'spared to take him to England.
Such is the throng of business at the House of
Commons on private Bills, that yesterday there
were twelve separate Committees on twelve dis-
tinct Bills, all assembled in one room!
WILLIAM -TAYLOR, ESQ.—This Gentleman,
who was formerly the sole Conductor and Chief Proprietor of
the King's Theatre, and whose name has been so often before
the public in the legal inquiries into the state of that property,
died on Sunday last at his apartments in Lambeth. He was
yesterday interred in a vault at St. Andrew's, Soho. His re-
mains were attended to the grave by his nephew Capt. Taylor,.
Mr. Sandell, and Mr. Harrison, Secretary to the deceased, and
Mr. D'Egville, one of his Executors. Ile is stated to have been
in the 72d year of his age, but we believe he was older. He was
a native of Scotland, and retained the dialect of that country
through life in a very strong degree. He was originally in this
town a clerk to a Banking-house in Jermyn-street, which
failed. His connection with the Opera House was accidental.
The late. Mr. Sheriden, on a particular emergency, wanted
a thousand pounds. Mr. Taylor procured an introduction
.to him and offered to raise that sum, upon receiving a hut upon
the Opera House, .of which Mr. Sheridan was then one of the
Proprietors. Front this slight beginning Mr. Taylor at length
became a principal Proprietor and sole Conductor of that con-
cern. The loss by fire, suspension of entertainments, and many
other heavy embarrassments, induced Mr. Taylor to dispose of
some shares, his claims thereby were considerably reduced,
and he has lived for some years in a state of obscurity.
Ile was a -man of strong sense, and well acquainted with
the world. Ile was possessed of literary talents, and -wrote
with great vigour. His accounts of the chief Members of
the House of Commons, in one of the Sessions during the
Administration of Lord North, written, for his friend Joseph
Richardson, who theU conducted an Evening Paper, were.
marked by shrewdness, discrimination, and point. Mr.
Taylor, in his prosperity, displayed friendship anti gene-
rosity, and doubtless would have shewn the same feel-
ing if his prosperity had continued. Ile was some time in
Parliament, under the patronage of the late Duke of Norfolk,
and with his understanding and knowledge he might have ran-
tiered himself conspicuous and useful, if he could have devoted
himself entirely to political concerns.

THE LATE IVIII. BARTLEMAN.-The friends of
departed professional and private worth will hear with sincere
regret, that on account of the bankruptcy of the person to
whom was entrusted the disposal of the late Mr. BARTLE-
MAN'S Musical Library, his Sisters have suffered a very serious
loss, which occasions a diminution of their income, and obliges
them to resort to a Concert for the aid of public patronage....._
Mr. BARTLEMAN was so admirable a vocal performer, that
his death was a great loss to the musical world, end so affec-
tionate a brother, that, much as his sisters suffered in a pe -u-
-niary point of view, it was still more lamentable for them to
lose so near and so liberal a relative. Mr. Bartleman was so
much esteemed by his professional brethren, vocal :ni instru-
mental, that they will of course most readily contribute their
exertions in favour of the proposed concert ; and the musical
world at large received so much pleasure from his great talents
and pure taste, that the benevolent measure in contemplation
cannot but obtain warm support from the public in general.
lIANovEa-SQUARE.--Mr. VAUGHAN'S Annual
Concert took place last night, and, as might be.expected from
his personal and professional Merit, was attended by a very nu-
merous and elegant audience. The first act 'consisted of ex-
tracts from Haydn's Seasons, well supported by Bellamy,
Vaughan, and Miss Travis. .44 The Rose of the Valley" was
so well given by Miss Stephens, Messrs. W. Knyvett, Vaughan,:
and .1. B. Sale, as to be encored. Caradori gave a line air by
Guglielmi, in a good style. The 'first act also was admirably
supported by Vaughan in. 44 See from. the silent' grove," and
the accompaniment of Lindley's violoncello. " The Rosebud
of Summer," harmonized by Greatorex, was encored in the
second act, in which Signor De Begnis gave..i
Italian song with great effect. The .Concert altogether, indeed,
was highly admired and warmly applauded.

engagements for the present.
