OPERA HOUSE.

MR. EDITOR,—Observing, in consequence of
the number of rich individuals in this country,
that various Joint Stock Companies are forming, 1
am surprised that no proposal has been made for the
formation of a Company for the purchase of the
different interests in the King's Theatre, in order
to place it on a secure and 'liberal foundation,
accompanied with a magnificence suitable to the
finest Theatre in the world, and honoured with
the name of his Majesty. A more advantageous
opportunity cannot be expected, as the greatest in-
terest in the concern, that of Mr. CHAMBERS, must
be sold, and an arrangement satisfactory to the
minor interests may doubtless be easily made.—
Very beneficial results may be expected to the
Proprietors of such an undertaking as well as to
the Public, and I beg leave to recommend to the
proper authorities, before they grant licences to
Theatres in future, to take sufficient security for
the regular payment of the Performers, that the
misery and disgrace now so frequent may be
prevented, and that additional legisiative inter-
ference be endeavoured to be obtained for that
purpose, should there not be found sufficent
power in the present laws. W. T.

THE ARMY.

The 7th Regiment marched on Monday from Cnatham for
➢lanchesster.

The 99th Regiment, now in Glasgow Barracks, has received
orders to embark immediately at Leith for Portsmouth where
they are to disembark till transports are collected, in which they
are to proceed to the Mauritius, to relieve the 46th Foot, now
ordered home. This information is important to many officers
now on leave of absence, who will
,join at Portsmouth, instead of
incurring the expence of a longer journey to Scotland.

ceeding 6,000 species, together with his Notes on many genera
of the Mammiferous tribes. -The Monograph on the Ante-
lopes, with a great number of new species; will be from his pen,

SOLEM QUIS DICE RE FALSUM AUDEAT

LONDON,
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1824.

The same uncertainty still prevails reqpectin4
the state of the KING of FRANCE. If the first
report of his MAJESTY'S death had reached
town on Tuesday last at an earlier hour in the
day, we might fairly infer that, as it has prove('
false, it was invented for stock-jobbing purposes,
but it came too late for the accomplisle:l° Of
such an object.—By the accounts in the pork
of Tuesday (see another column), we find that
his MAJESTY still retained his faculties, that he,
was able to go through the awful ceremony of
receiving the Sacrament, not only in the pre'
settee of the Royal Family, but of the
principal Officers of the Household and others;
MS MAJESTY afterwards ordered the members of
his family to be called before him, to receive his
blessing and embrace. The power of the under'
going these ceremonies and affectionate attentions,
and in the presence of those not so immediately
near and dear to him, seems to slew that hiS
MAJESTY was by no means in so eXilat/Steil
state as was reported, and, as he was free from
fever, and able to receive nutritious feed, it it
probable that the last fatal change is not 50 nee
as was generally apprehended. Besides Ole,
indications of a degree of corporeal strength oglec
remaining, the circumstance of his having twl
confessed, a ceremony in which self-examination
was essential, may be deemed another proof tat

LONDON SESSIONS.

These Sessions commenced .at Guildhall yes.
ierAsy, before the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR, the REcoa.
Dim, and the bench of Aldermen.

The REcoonr it, in addressing the Grand Jury, after notic-
ing that the calendar was more than usually heavy, and re-
marking particularly that there was one prisoner charged with
murder, and explaining at Rome length the legal definition and
description of that offence, took occasion to allude to a charge
of bigamy, which, said the Recorder, " though not upon the
calendar, is likely, as I have understood, to be brought under
your consideration, and it becomes necessary, therefore,-for me
to explain to you the law as it stands upon that subject. It is
not absolutely necessary by the law of England to constitute
the offence of bigamy that the first marriage should be con-
tracted within the kingdom ; it is sufficient that it be con-
tracted agreeably to the legal rites of the country in which
it is solemnized ; and the second marriage in England
will render the party liable to be indicted here—the latter
marriage making the offence of bigamy. So, on the other
hand, though the first marriage took place in England, yet if
the second marriage he contracted out of the country, no in-
dictment for bigamy will lie, the offence not being committed
within the kingdom. Nor is this restricted merely to fbreign
countries : a secondmarriage contracted either in Scotland or
Ireland, however punishable by the laws of those kingdoms,
would not constitute a charge of bigamy. If, therefore, you
should find in any case brought before you, that the second
marriage had been contracted out of
.England, you would do
right to throw out the bill. There is a statute upon this subject,
which forms an exception .to the general law ; hut it is not ne-
cessary that I should explain it to you,. as I understand
that the case to which I allude does not come within that
i ex-
apt ion."
After the Grand Jury withdrew, the Court was occupied for
some time with several cssesof trifling assitultlt, none of which
possessed any feature of public interest or importance.

A CONCERT at the Assembly Rooms, CAN-rtnßunT, an
Tuesday evening last, under the able superintentlance of Mr.

treat to the amateurs of vocal and instrumental music, and
never on any former occasion did we witness a more fashionable
and brilliant audience,as upwards of 250 of the gentry and prin-
cipal inhabitants of that place were present. The entertainment
opened with a grand overture to Algieri,by Rossini,
executed with great and judgment by ananlerous and select
orchestra. The duet by Miss (a young lady of

Christian Powers more strongly insist than ever.
The Porte will endeavour to make peace with
tlh• Persians.

BUCHA EiT, FEB. 17.—Letters from Constan-
tinople announce that the Persian Schah has at
length cdnsented to ratify the Treaty of Peace
concluded last year with the Ottoman Porte; but
this news seems very doubtful, and can only be
looked on as a trick of the Turks.

OnEssA, FEB. 16.—We have just received
news from Constantinople of th• 7th. The Divan
seems to profit by the ;line's of the Reis F. lien di,
to put off the negotiations with the new Russian
Plenipotentiaries.

Mr. DAWSON fully agreed in the necessity of the measure,
and instanced some gross inequalities in the rates under the
present system. It would be necessary to have a complete and
entirely new survey, as there were great errors in those already
published.
Colonel TRENCH approved of the measure, but thought it
would be better that the execution should be committed to the
Ordnance, when the ablest and most scientific men would be
employed on it.
Sir J. NEWPORT supported the motion, but lie thought
an Ordnance Survey would both take up too much time, and
would also be insufficient in the details for the purposes for
which it was wanted.
31r. DOMINICK BROWNE, as a proof of the inaccuracy
of the present maps, stated, that the county of 3layo was sur-
veyed whilst covered with snow.
Bfr. PEEL thought, as the necessity of the measure was
confessed on all sides, the details would be best considered in
the Committee.—Motion agreed to.

ORATORIO, DRURY-LANE.

.01t. rouros.---Last night the second performs.
mice took place at Drury-Lane Theatre. The
rich collection, in combination with the vocal
and instrumental merit, announced in the bills of
the day, drew together an elegant and numerous
audience,-who, to the honour of the musical taste
of the country, duly appreciated and highly ap-
plauded almost every part of the performance.—
f f we decline devoting our space to a particular
notice of BRAPIAM, SAPIO, SINCLAIR, Mrs. SAL-
MON, Miss STEPHENS, and Miss PATON, it is be-
cause their exquisite and extraordinary powers
are so well known and universally acknowledged.
But the claims of Mr. 'l'. NYELsu, as the singer of
" Mad Tom " of Mr. ANDERSON, as a piano-forte
performer, of Mr. Nicitor.soN, as a flutist, and
of VIMERCATI, as a mandolinist, are of a nature
not to be disregarded by us, as the avowed lovers
and patrons of rising talents. Mr. WELsit did
more justice to PURCEL than we expected : the
compass of his voice, especially in the lower part
of its register, is extending itself, and his con-
ception and spirit brightening and augmenting.
NICHOLSON'S wonderful tact ill.4.lnti to improve
every time we hear hitn, and VimcnciTt's exe-1
cution on an instrument for excellence on
which nature has so perfectly fitted his
dexterity, is as gratifying as surprising. The
effect of the whole was truly delighting ; and
while it extorted the warmest applause, did grer.t
credit to the able and judicious director, whose
generous preference of the native abilities of the
country that is protecting and extolling his
genius and industry, and, we are pleased at being
able to add, rewarding them with a golden harvvst.
London, England, 1824-03-11

THE ARM V.

It is understood that Lieutruant-General
Honourable Sir Alexander Hone, G.C.fl. will act. pro frmporr,

pointed. _

A detachment belonging to the 40th od Somersetsbire) Re-
giment of Foot, is ordered to embark to-morrow, at Deptford,
on board the Pkoenix conirict-ship, to act as guards during the

A detachment belonging to the same corps has embarked on
board the Countess of liareourt, convict-ship, off" Woolwich,
to perform a similar duty during her voyage to the above dea-
tination. The Countess of Harcourt, with /Apt on board,will
sail on Saturday or Monday next from Woolwich.

NEW Focus.---A Meeting' was held on TuP5-
(lay, it the Three Tuns, in the Borough, for the purpose of dis-
cHssing the subject of the New Docks, which are proposed to
he built in the parish of St. Catherine in the precincts of the
Tower. It was the unanimous opinion of the Meeting that
there were sufcient docks in the City to answer every mercan-
tile purpose, and that the building of additional ones would be
useless. Several Resolutions were entered into, and a subscrip-
tion to defray the exprnces which might be incurred by any
future prcceodingt of the Committee.
London, England, 1824-03-11

LICENCE DUTIES.

Yesterday afternoon a Meeting took place at
the' lorns Tavern, Kennington, for the purpose of considering
the best method of petitioning the House of Commons for the
reduction of additional Duties levied on their Licences in the
year 1 tils.

Mr. Fu ems 3,1 having been called to the Chair, the business
of the meeting was explained by the Chairman.
The SECRETARY read the I'etition to the meeting. An
objection was then urged, that a clause expressive of the bur..
then the Licensed Victuallers sustained by having soldiers
billeted on them be omitted. It was, however, overruled.
Another objection was taken as to the insertion of the clause
treating upon common informers be omitted, on the ground that
it would be productive of much offence in the minds of the
Magistrates of Surrey.
Mr. COTTRELL was of opinion, that nothing could more
add to the honour of the Magistrates for the East Hundred of
Brixton, than the present management under their direction,
whereby an informer was not allowed to enter the Office at
Union-Hall, but from whose cunning they had lately been
much annoyed.

Several licensed victuallers expressed their opinion that the
clause ought to be inserted, and, observed, that should an in-
former approach the Police Office in Surrey they would be as
quickly expelled.
It was then moved by Mr. NOSES, and seconded by Mr.
DEUCE, that the petition as read be adopted.
. On the question being put, there appeared only one dissen-
tient voice to the proposition.
It was also agreed that Mr. Denison, one of the County
Members, be requested to present the same, and that a deputa-
tion do wait upon him for that purpose.
The thanks of the Meeting were then voted to the Chairman
and Secretary, and.the Meeting separated.
