THE THEATRES.

THEATRE.—The (*era nf Tureo in
Italia was represented on Saturday, as The Baron
de Dolsheim is necessarily deferred? on account of
the continued indisposition of CuaioNt. The
whole was well received. An apology was made
for Madame RONZ 1, but we did not see the ne-
cessity for it, as she sung with great sWeetness
and acted with great spirit.—The Divertiiement,
at the end of the first act; Was ,supported by
BARRE', DE VARLNNES, RdT,AND, A ItiA-
TO LE, and NI EIiCA D OTTI. The Carnival de
Penile was the concluding Ballet.—The honse
was fully and respectably atteaded.

DRURY•LANE.--A very interesting new melo-
drame was brought forward at this Theatre, on
Saturday last, under the title of Adeline. The
story is very simple and very affecting. Adeline,
the daughter of an old blind Officer, contrary to
the cautious given by her father, is seduced from
hic house by a young Nobleman, who assumes
the name of Fabian, and appears in the ca-
pacity of a poor artist. He is niiirrled,' and
deceives Adeline by a pretended marriage,
with the assistance of a profligate Baren;—
.Adeline discovers the plot, and returns to
her father, who receives her with affection,
but exacts a promise that she will never see Fa•
bian any more, still, however, ignorant who he
really is. At length, after scenes of distressful
interest, tortured by remorse for neglecting her
father's admonitions, and by her hopeless attach-
ment to Fabian, she throws hersel-i into the river
in sight of the audience, but is rescued from the
waves, and' again brought forward, 3 et, exhaust-
ed by grief and the effect of the water, dies in
the arms of her father. Why she should die
when she has recovered without the assistance
of the Humane Society we cannot conceive.—
Some change should be made in the catas-
trophe, as the feelings revolt at seeing the
.heroine thus committing suicide.—The piece
was through Out well supported.—Miss CAPE-
LAND was the heroine, and she gave her
part with all the truth and energy of nettle.
COOPER was affecting in the blind old Officer.
PENLEY was very respectable in Fabian, and
KNIGHT diverting and interesting in a faithful
domestic. We join with a Morning Paper in
condemning the absurd custom of not mentioning
on the play-bills the names of the Characters in
new pieces, as a knowledge of their names
would facilitate the operation of the fable. The
piece was very well receiaed acid evert;, by rot
of the audience, demanded for repetition this
evening. The house was badly attended at first,
but the audience gradually increased, and Mad 6
a respectable appearance during the representa-
tion of the second piece, Three Weeks after Nan:
riage, in Which Er.w•ros performed Sir Charles
Racket with . true comic spirit, and Mrs. EDWIN
sustained the, part of Lady Racket with corre-
sponding vivacity and humour,

THE ENGLISH BAR.

THE BENCHERS OF THE INNER TEMPLE AND

DANIEL WHITTLE HAIIVEY,, ESQ. '
A discussion has recently taken pl tee between the Benclicto
of the Inner Temp'e and Mr. DANIEL WHITTLE Hastvilei
which, as it affects he rights and interests of both
.paities, as'
well as the character V the; bar itself,. is not a little negertant.
. Our readers will •, probably recollect, that Mie tiatvey hid
ineide.himself somewhat conspicuous by his spirited contest for
t Borough of Colchester, as well by the political lead.which'
hetook in the• Common. Cquncil, and elsewhere.. Previous to
Lis engagements in these busy scehes, he was admitted as an at-
torney, and his name was to be found on the Rolls of the Court
of King's Bench in that character. His practice was princie -
Dally confined to the - county of Essex, where his father aotl
brother had long resided.. having resolved- to abandon the
hurnble profession I walk of an attorney for the more elevated
station of a barrister, to which he. imagined his talents v... e
more peculiarly su ted, he entered himself a Member of the
Inner:Temple, and pursued the necessary studies with becom-
ing at ior. As a preliminary step, too, he took the usual
course of having his name taken off the Roll of Attornies..Hay
ieg completed his Terms in Trinity Term last, lie appliAd to.
one of the Masters,of the Inner Temple to propose, at the ge-
neral meeting of the Benehers„ that he should be called ; and
we believe his name was put up,• with others, in the Hall with
that view. It is customary, before a gentleman is called to the
bar, for the Ben.:hers, in the first instance, to make inquiries us
to his eligibility; and if any thing shall arise to: exate doubts
of his character. to tipcn, him -fciexplanation. I f this ex-
planation s` Mild not proVe siv.isfactor,.., 0 en they feel it their.
duty, in the ischarte of the high re,,,toolibitity vested in then ;
to relectbis. Claim In the instance of Mr, Harvey we have rt.i..-
sen to think that this was precisely the course put-stied, Th 3
3laster, to whom he apphed, intimated to hint that theta were
objections to his admission ; but that he would,, peverthe-,
less, propose his bring called, if he chose, withOtt, however,
pledging himself.. to.. support that proposition. Mr. Harvey,
upon .epresentation, for thattermat least,. begged to wits:-
eraw his claim, kin.' anxious to ascertain the grounds oe
which os‘seerition' was likely to take place. In the NI ichaelneas
Term folieWing he renewed his application ; and, the subject
having been brought before the Benchers,. they refused to sanc-
tion his call. AIL Harvey naturally demanded the greunds
upon which this refusal took place ; and these were candidly
Stated; and opportunities offered him for entering upon his jus.
tificati ea. Mee.- having heard what he had to urge, however,
the original resolution of ale Benchers remained unshaken, and
thus the. prospects, which :dr. Harvey had been induced to.
entertain from his profcsional pursuits at the bar, were site-.
;ether fr :stratcd. He still had an appeal ; and. accordingly,
in Jenuire last,. sent a petitioh to the Twelve Judges, .con).
plaining of the conduct of the Bench; rs in refusing to call him
to the bar ; praying, that they might be ,ordered to certify to
their Lordships their objection to his demand; and, further,'
that he might be heard before their Lordships, either in person
or by his eptinsel, in anneal against such Objection., ,
In consequence of this petition, the Learned Judges did ac-
ed dingly issue their order to the &tellers, calling upon then'
for their certificate in the case of Mr. Harvey, and also direct-.
i ig that they should appear before their Lordships at Serjeuat's
Inn Hall on Friday the Ist instant., when the petition was to
be heard. On the Ist Feb., at six o'clock in the evening, the-
ol of the Twelve Judges teok thar seats in Serjcant's lan
Hail, and wet. iron ?diateiy afterwards follewed lry a. crowd of
persons, who felt an interest in the result of, the ,proceedines,
and Who were anxious to 'Le present at the discussiorn
The Lord .Chief Justice ABBOTT then; announced, that the
Benchers (f the Inner Temple, together with the petitioner, la e,
counsel; and solicit, r, could alone be permitted to be pre-
sent : all others must retire, as it was net a public Court. the
Court having been cleared accordingly, Mr. Litchfield, the
Treasurer of the Inner Temple, 31r. Harrison, the Ring's
Counsel ; and a few of the other Benchers, took their seats.—
Chairs were like Wise ordered for Mr. Harvey and his Counsel,-
Messrs. Brougham.and Denman.., .
The petition of Mr. Harvey was then read, and this was f6l-
- by the-certificate'of the Benchers, Signed by their Trea.
surer; and-prepared in pursuanee Of the 0/der of their Lordship. •
This certificate was at considerable length, and referred to
certain documents, by which it was accompanied, as illustrative
of the reasons by which the Benchers were actuated in refusing
Mr. Harvey's 'demand.,.. Wheie reasons were principally to be
found in conduct attribtited to him—in causes in - which he was
a' p the first entitled " Harvey v. Andrew," wilich vas
tried before the late Mr: Justice Heath, at the Lent Assizes for
Essex in 11110;; and the second entitled " Frost v. Harvey,'"
' tried before the present Chief Baron at the Lent Assiz.ei in
1814. In that ofT" Harvey v. Andrew," he brought an action
for defamationethe defendant having accused him of purloini
a paper from his office, and a verdict was found for the defend-
ant ; and in that of " Frost v. Harvey"' an action was broug'it`
against him for a fraud, and a verdict wis found for the plain-
tiff. There was a third cause meeemed, in which Mr. He e: e
, had acted as a solicitor for. his father, to his conduct in which
exception was also taken. To enter into the detail of these
causes,,,. unaccompanied by the explanations V Mr: Xlar,
vey, would be naafi% We shall ordy;observe, fectefore, that
the certificate in conclusion stated, that the Benchers, " after
the fttlleit consideration, subMitted to their
.LordshiPe, that,
consistent with their duty to the profession and to-the public,.
they could not call a person placed as Mr. Harvey was to the
bar."

Messrs. Denman and Brottghain were then heard at great
length by their Lordships in support of the Petition of their
client. When they had concluded, all parties quitted the Hall
with the exception of the Judges, whO remained in deliberation
for some rime. The Benchers and Mr. Harvey were then re-
called. The tonne* had retired, but the latter went Irfcrr! their
Lordships, when he was informed that their Lordships, aft.r
having wily weighed cor the one hand, the reasons urged by the
Benchers for the course pursued by them ; and on the other, the
explanation given by hirti2 were unanimously of opinion that
the Benchers had acted:with a due regard to the Honour of the
Bar and the interests of society in refusing his application to ba
admitted a Member of. that Society.
Thus the affair at present stands, but we have heard that Mr.
Harvey intends priblishing his own vindication.
We trust that the. same vigilance may be observed towartla
ALL oi;rit;ri persons who may in future seek to be called to the
bsr. By such means only can the parity of a most honourable
profession be preserved. It should not be flNotten and this
may operate : a an useful hint to the numerous body of Students
who are now in the Metropolis, what is vulgarly Galled " eat-
ing their way to the Bar," that any departure from that fair
and correct course which ought invariably to characterize the
conduct of a gentleman, may become the subject of exapina,
tion, and of ultimate rejection from a path on which thiir tieat
hopes may have been fixed.

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

EXTRACTS FROM D ►)LY MORNING PAPERS

Febrziary 11, 1822.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
The Insurrection Bill and the Bill to suspend
the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland, were the sub-
jects of a long discussion in the House of Lords
on Saturday night.' `4A feeling' very generally
prevailed 'among their Lordships that an extreme
necessity reciniied the enactment of such mea-
sures in the present unhappy state. of that country,
but some difference of opinion existed upon the
proptiety"of arming the Government and Magis-
trates with poWers so dangerous for a longer pe-
riod,:than • six weeks. It was contended by
LOWS King and Holland, with great force, that
although t their 'Lordships might 'feel the ex-
pediency of :infnsing an instant vigour into
tl*.=Government of 'lreland for the suppression
eta, terrific evil, the urgent haste with which
they:were required to- grant such an authority
disabling them from discussing its character, ex-
tent, 'ornecessity, ought to prevent them from
reposing: this extravagance of power in the Go-
vernMent for a period longer than might be suf.
icient for a careful and deliberate inquiry into
the circumstances 'of the country. An amend.;
men* "to this 'effect was proposed in the Com-
mittee. by Lord King, and was supported by se-
veral• Lords, who bad acknowledged the pressing
necessity of the two Bills, but on a division it
was negatived: the numbers being ' for the
amenthnent 15, against it 59. The two Bills
were passed successively through their several
stages, and will this evening receive the Royal
Aisent by Commission.

[HORNJNG HERALD.]
We last night received Madrid Papers to the
9th ult. but at so late an hour, and under such
a pressure of other matter, that we can hardly
notice their contents. The relations between the
mother country and the colonies were brought
before the Cortes, in the Report of a Committee,
which recommended that the independence of
tile colonies llould be acknowledged, in the
same manlier as it exists de facto, and that a
treaty be concluded on this basis, containing 15
specified articles, among which are, a subsidy,
to- be paid by instalments, to the mother country;
the establishment of the European and Trans-
marine Empires, respectively independent, into
a confederation, under the name of the Hispano-
American Confederation, with King Ferdinand,
its Grand Protector; the holding of a General
Congress within two years ; with several other
provisions, for the most part favourable to the
mother country, which we cannot afford space
to notice. The debate Was adjourned, leaving
the question undecided.

[MORNING POST.]

The strong but temporarily necessary measures
adopted by the Commons for the pacification of
Ireland, have nearly passed through all their
stages in the House of Peers, where the Bills
were read a first and second,time, and committed
on Saturday. This day they will be read a third
time, and to-morrow the Royal Assent will pro-
ba:hlyrender them for a period the law of I re-
-le,..nd. Aa attempt was made to shorten their du-
ration, but none to lessen their force, as all par.
ties conceded the point of necessity, and con-
ceived that if any thing were to be done, it ought
to be done vigorously as well as quickly. But
equally general' was the feeling: that measures of
a:is-nature might. repress, .but could not cure the
evil-, and that they must be followed by others
of ,very different charaCter. That a country,
neglected from the moment when it was enslaved,
and, oppressed from that when it became formi-
dable,..should feel and display the consequences
of_ages of misrule, is less surprising than -larnen-
titile.' Who sows briars in the richest soil will
reap. thorns. • The thorns must be plucked, but
tbe briars also must be cut 'clown ere we can
restore comfort, and fertility to the land. for
is this enough. We must see that fresh seeds
are not scattered as we pass,
.or that such`alone
are thrown as produce order and happiness.
To .drop all metaphors, we must remedy a state
-whith- the unjust policy' of our ancestors and
muchof our own have occasioned. We must not
cry out that the lower classes of Ireland are mi-
serable barbarians; we must giVe them a stake
.and -a feeling in civilization. We mush remove
from them the pressure of burthens which it is
.not.. only beyond their strength to sustain, but
which it is not even •within the rationality of tie-
tUre that any capable 'rria.ti should be.willing to
hirar. We'mtlst riot strike
_their 'industry with .
barrenness ; we must nOt leave their misery
without relief. I.ret theth keep 't..he fruits. of the
-ontoi,lef- them find the other in their need:—
Then' we • shall have to outrages to lament, no
s.in
itirrection. to repress. They will become tran-
quil, because they Will. be happy ; and civiliza- ,
titm, so long retarded by our injustice; will keep
peace in Ireland,. with population,- with encou-
ragement to-industry, and all those 'inducements
to rim our King: and-Our Conntry; -which arise
'fromm-a vise system of lawsi and 'from their pa-
ternal adininiStration. ,

[THE TIMES.]
.The Bills relating to Ireland passed the House
-of Commons on Friday last, and in the House of
Lords were on Saturday carried through the se-
4:ond'reatling, and comMitted they are to he
-read'a third time, and probably passed, this day.
:.:Di:eitdful indeed must be the state of Ireland, if
the. remedies. now- adopted bear only a just pro-
,
;.iivrilon to it. All the inhabitants of that ill-fated
island are put, not 'merely at 'the disposal of- the
•Crown, but of tile' local Magistracy-of the dis-
turbed,..districts—ihat is to say, of men w.hose.l
minds nmst.necessarily be embittered, and their
iiaisions inflamed, against those upon whom they
are summoned to exercise their new 'powers. lot
-it be-,well understood, that if the crimes and per-
about to be thus visited may, abstractedly
speaking) be considered as violating the great
interests of the public _peace and property,
tini are, 'in fact, the Peculiar torments , of.
their immediate neighbours. It is the property

, I

of those contiguous to them which they do
substantially spoil—it is the feelings of those
who lie within reach of their midnight ag-
gressions, which the insusgents do really harass
and eAasperate ; and yet it is from amongst these
very men, whether clergy, laity, gentlemen, or
middlemen, that are to be found the Magistrates
appointed by this Insurrection Act to try and
sentence their own personal enemies. How,
then, is that law likely to be administered, which
Makes both Judge and Juror of him whom human
' nature makes a party ? We are told that men
Will act With fairness, who aet under the weight
of personal responsibility. But what Minister
or Magistrate ever in practice becomes respon-
sible for oppressions, however enormous, perpe-
trated at a time of public confusion, in the name
Of loyalty or of the public safety ? What satis-
faction was given to any man who complained of
ill treatment during the great Irish rebellion, or
during the late suspension of the Habeas Corptis
Act here ?

[MORNING CHRONICLL

The object of County Meetings, and of Mee,
ings in all populous Boroughs -that return Mem.
hers, should be two-fold--first, to declare the
abiolute necessity of a rigid retrenchment, as the
Only means of escape from the evils we are suf-
fering; and
_secondly, to give positive instruc-
tions to their respective Representatives to vote
for it. The universal distress has certainly opened
many people's eyes to the abuses in the present
state of the representation. But whatever may
be thought as to the expediency of now mixing
up Reform with Retrenchment, there can be
little doubt that the public are prepared una-
nirtiously to demand the latter, and there can be
as little doubt that a rigid retrenchment must, at
no.great interval, be the harbinger of a moderate
Reform.: %%e consider, therefore, resolutions in
favour of retrenchment as equivalent in reality to
resolutions in. favour of both retrenchment and
reform. It cannot too often be impressed upon
the nation, that the ipublic expenditure (ex-
cluding the interest of the debt at both periods)
in 1822, is nearly :four times what it was in. 1792.
Then all the expenses of Government were about
seven millions ; now- the charges of the army and
navy alone are upwardS of 15-millions!!! Leav-

ing the expenditure double the amount of 1792,
the saving, by the difference, would allow of the
repeal of the assessed taxes, and every excise
duty that presses upon the produce of the land.
But we have never for a moment believed that any
reductions worth talking of will be acceded to by
Ministers. They are as little disposed in favour
of retrenchment as in favour of reform, knowing
that their Ministerial existence is dependent on the
continuance of a wasteful and profligate expendi-
ture. The vote of to-night on Mr. Brougham's mo-
tion will give the country another opportunity of
seeing how far the Members of the Honourahle
House are disposed to lend themselves to Minis-
ters. We fear, however, the spectacle of a con-
fiding Parliament and petitioning people will I
be once more exhibited to an indignant country.

LNEW TIMES.,
We are happy that Mr. Brougham has given
notice of so early a day for his motion, and has
also very fairly intimated his intention of mak-
ing a direct attack on the Sinking Fund. The
obscure apprehension that some such measure
might be brought forward, and Might- meet the
support of the Legislature, has already ope-
rated most mischievously on the price of Stocks,
and, what is still more important, has dri-
ven a large portion of English capital abroad,
at a time when its application to the relief
of the agriculturist would be so highly desrable.
It is therefore highly desirable that the question
should be set at rest without delay. The Fund-
holder must distinctly see that he is not to be sa-
crificed to the delusive idea 'of making his loss
the gain of the agriculturist. The landed in-
terest must be made to comprehend, that every
shock to public credit is a wound to their own
interest. Well do we recollect hearing' Mr.
Pitt assert this. doctrine in eloquent language,
which carried with him the whole flouse of Com-
mons :—" It is a great boast and a practical ex-
cellence of our admirable Constitution," said he,
" that it identifies and binds up together those
interests which, in other countries, and under
different forms of Government, are 'arrayed
_in
hostility against each other. With us the landed
interest, and the monied interest are not adverse
powers, they are Closely united with and mu-
tually dependent on each other, and the one can-
not suffer without causing to the other a propor-
tionate injury."
