,
A very nuMerOtth Meetitig yesterday assembled
in Palace-yard, pursdant to a hotiee, for;the
pose Of considering the,propriety of adopting some
measures in consequence of the rejection of the
last Westthinster Petition by the House of Com-
mons. A.chair was previouslyplaced on the "lust-
ings; which Sir P. BURDETT took; and opened
the subject of the meeting. He observed, that
in former and better times.the practice of conven-
ing the Electors of Westminster through the
channel of the High Bailiff did not, prevail, *nor
did he deem it at all necessary. There was no
reason, therefore,.to lament the, refusal of his in-
tervention or sanction on the present occasion.
Major CARTWRIGHT, after some severe animad*
versions on the conduct of the High Bailiff and
his Deputy, moved ;several Resolutions, declara-
tory of the right of the people:it% have;their Peti-
tions received and..attended to, and appointing a
permanent Committce of 31,

interests and li,bvrties of el,c, City westminster.
as well as to cal .j Meetip.gs on all emer-
gencies.

palace; and declared his concurrence in all the

' The. political and commercial relations between
Sweden and Algiers are now ou the best and most
amicable footing.
The Neapolitans have taken the liberty to cur-
tail Moan-es royal title, and now call him "Le
Rai le Nap."

Mustc.—One -of the most delightful treats
which we ever attended, took place last night at
Lady 03,v- EN's, in Hereford-street, whose rooms.
were opened for the Subscription Concert-Of
AsuE. The rooms were crowded, and a very ele-
gant assemblage of. visitors attended. The Con-
cert was judiciously selected, and admirably per-
formed throughout. Mrs. Ashe, Mrs. Dickons,
Miss Mortimer,•Naldi, Le Dcsma, Magrath,
ter Metz, and Braham, were the Vocal Perform-
ers, and we regret that we have not space to
dwell on their respeCtive merits. Mrs. Ashe dis-
played her foil, extensive, -and sweet-toned voice
with great effect in a Welsh Melody, in the beau-
tifqlCaeatina, " Lungi del Caro Gene," accompa-
nied on the Harp by Miss Ashe; and in 7'he

titian Maid. Among the instrumental pieces there
was a new Nocturno for the Harp, delightfully
performed by-Miss Ashe, and accompanied on the
flute by her Father. Miss H. Ashe displayed
kindred skill in a grand Concerto on the
Piano-Forte, by Dussek. Kalbrenner exhi-
bited wonderful skill on the same instrument.--
A Mr. Sor7gave a conc, rto on the Spanish guitar,
iu a• style of prodigious execution. The whole
concluded with a very elegant and abundant cold:
collation.

WANToN OUTRAGE.—(EIisTuRICAL GALLERY.)
—On 'Tuesday last`a visitor to the Historical Gal-
lery in Pall-Mall, during the absence of the per-
son left for the protection of the room, and when:
no other visitor was then; defaced part of three
valuable Pictures, one by Le Due, another by
Netscher, and the third by Schalkeiz. All these
pictures were. exquisitely painted, and though of
different size and value, were estimated at siX
hundred pounds. One, we believe, luttl been pur-
chased, but in 'consequence of the injury which
it has received, has been returned upon the hinds
of the owner. Jr is difficult tcr conceive what
could be the motive of this malevolent act, and
it was so, cautiously executed, that we fear it will
escape punishment,
though a considerable-reward
has been offered for the discovery of the peril?,
trator.
