Mr. Or.mtAat presented the petition of John flolmeß, Esq.
who stated that lie hall been for forty-mix years in the service of
the Corporation, and had during that time gone through most
arduous service. Ile promised that if he was elected to till the
situation, he would attend with punctuality to its duties.
Sir C. S. HUNTrit presented a petition from John Ainslie,
Esq. to the same effect.
The Petitioner stated, that he was the senior Alderman, ex-
cept one, on the Bench ; but that he had been reduced from a
state of considerable opulence, by circumstances which no pru-
dence could prevent, to come as a supplicant fin. office .1 and he
expressed his hope that the members would not now refuse their
sympathies to an old and efficient member.
A ballot was taken, when the numbers appeared as follows :

-" St. John's
Lieut. ----, of the
, Newfoundland, Nov. 24.—We
have had a very singular elopement here.—
60111 Regiment, has de-
camped with the wife of Lieutenant —, of
the Royal Artillery. On Sunday the former ac•
companied the latter to church, but (luring the
service he feigned sickness and left the church ;
he repaired to his friend's quarters, and carried
off his wife. They immediately got on hoard a
vessel, which was hove-to for the purpose, and
sailed almost instantly for Ireland. The gallant
was on the strictest terms of intimacy with the
person whose peace and happiness he
has de-
stroyed. The lady has left two children with her
husband ; she is the daughter of a.
Major in the
Artillery, and only arrived here last spring from
England. The husband, it is said, intends pur-
suing the fugitives to England, which is sup.
posed to be their destination.

BURSTING OF A STEAM BOILER.

MAWCHEATEII, DEC. 14.—A moat fatal acci-
dent happened here this evening, about six o'clock. The neigh.
bourhood of Portland-street was dreadfully alarmed by a sudden
and violent explosion, which shook the houses, and shattered
the windows in all directions. It appears to have been the
bursting of a memo boiler attached to a machine shop in Major-
street, near Portland-street, occupied by Winsors and Hyde.—
The whole building was blown up, and with it several of the
workmen. The first report was, that ten were killed, and
many more wounded; but I endeavoured to get at the truth as
far as possible. I accordingly went to Alajor-street, and
saw the ruins, surrounded by the military, and persons holding
lighted torches ; workmen were busily employed in removing
the bricks, &c., and searching a for bodies; but at the time I
write (ft p.m.), it is impossible to ascertain the full extent of
the accident. I;went to the Volume Tavern, anti saw the
dead body of an aged man, dreadfully disfigured by bruises and
burns; his mouth was full of aahes, a large hole in his cheek,
and his body cut in several places: f then went to our In.
firmary, to which hack been conveyed six men; I found two
dead, a third just expiring, ..and, according to the opinion
of the surgeons, little or no hopes were to be entertained of the
recovery of two more. One of them was shockingly scalded ;
several have been earrie,4 to their own home, but the number
of those it is impossible yet to say.

On Monday MATnEws acted Goldfinch and
Morbleu at the Dublin Theatre. While per.,
forming the latter character, four or five per-
sons in the gallery eccasionally interrupted
the performance. Their conduct was repro.
bated by the houSe, and should have been
despised by the audience. Actors, however,
and no weedel'
are exceedingly sensitive, and
Mr. Mathews was stung by the gross and pre-1
meditated affront which was studiously offered to
him. He came forward, and said that he " little
expected the attack made upon him (cries of " No
otuek,” and applause)---that he had had the good
fortune to win the applause of a London au.
(Bence, and hoped he did not deserve their cen-
sure.—(Applatise.)—lle owed it to honest can-
dour to say, that he had been treated with in-
justice, and 'was incapacitated from making due
exertions. to give pleature to those who had really
come to witness the performance, by the etrortil to
interrupt him, and the ungenerous usage which he
received from others."'.. Ifis'address, which was
spoken with great force, and of which we give
but an outline, was received with loud approba-
tion, and the nutitence seemed solicitous to excul-
pate themselves horn all participation in so un-
gentlenutnlike a proceeding.—(Dublin Frecmatee

DAVID GARRICK.

We have been favoured with the following
copy of an original letter from this great or.
na.ment of the Stage, to the Secretary of the
Customs.

I ..
DEAR Sin.—Not RACHAEL wee.ping for her children could
shew more sorrow than Mrs. Gannicx, not weeping fur her
children—she has none ; no; indeed, for her husband,—thanks
be to the humour of the times, she can be as philosophical on
that subject as her betters. What does she weep for,
then? Shall I dare to tell you ? It is—it is for the
loss of a chintz bed and curtains ! The tale is short, and
is as follows :—I have taken some pains to oblige the
Gentlemen of Calcutta, by sending then plays, scenes, and
other services in my power : In return they have sent me
Madeira--and poor Rachael, the unfortunate chintz. She has
had it four years; and, upon making some alterations in our
little place at Hampton, she intended to show-away with her
prohibited present. She had prepared paper, chairs, &c. &c.,
for this favourite token of Indian gratitude; but, alas ! all
human felicity is frail : No care having been taken on my
wife's part, and some treachery being exerted against her, it
was seized,—"the very bed, by the coarse hands of filthy dun-
geon villains, and thrown among the common lumber !"
If you have the least pity for a distressed female—any regard
for her husband (for he has a sad time of it)—or any wishes
that the environs of Bushy-park may be made tolerably neat
and clean, you may put your finger and thumb to the bus;-
ness, and take the thorn out of Rachael's side.—l am, Dear Sir,
yours, DAVID GARRICK.
TEXT—" For earthly power cloth then shew likes. GoD's,
when mercy seasons jutice."—pferchant of Venice.)

PETITION.
O Stanley give ear to a husband's petition,
Whose wife well deserves her distressful condition, If
Regardless of his, and the law's prohibition ;
If you knew what I suffer since she has been caught—
On the husband's poor head ever fails the wife's fault,
You would lend a kind hand to the contraband jade
And screen her for once in her illicit trade,
For true as 'tis said, since the first Eve undid 'em,
Frail women will long for the fruit that's forbid 'em,
And husbands are taught now a days, spite of struggles,
Politely to pardon a wife tho she smuggles.;
If your honours, or yon, when the sex go astray,
Have sometimes inclined to go with them that way,
We hope to her wishes you will not say nay.
'Tis said that all Judges this maxim still keep,
Not their justice to tire, but at times let it sleep.
If more by the Scriptures their honours are mov'd,
The over-much righteous are there disapprov'd,
Thus true to the Gospel, and kind as they're wise,
Let their mercy restore, what their justice denies.
D. GARRICK.

THE ROYAL NAVY.

PORTSMOUTH, JAN. I.—His Majesty's ship Cambridii,
Captain Maling, with the Consuli, &c. on beard for South
America, has a blue peter flying at the fore, but the wind is
too strong from the westward for her to sail at present. It has
blown very hard all day. The outward-bound remain all well.
The Jasper, Captain Arbuthnot, passed through Spithcad
yesterday, for Brighton. His Majesty's ship Tribune is ar-
rived at Plymouth from Gibraltar, which she left on the night
of the 16tii. Sir W. Curtis, in his yacht, sailed in company
with his Majesty's sloop Weazle, from Gibraltar for the Mccli-
terranean, on the 14th. The George the Fourth steamer was
alternately employed between Cadiz and Gibraltar, and Malaga
and Gibraltar. She conveyed Admiral Arias to Cadiz to take
the command of the squadron fitting out by Ferdinand,•for
South America. The Asia, 74, a frigate, and three brigs, were
the only Spanish men of war at Cadiz; they were far from
being in a condition to go to sea. The Tribune spoke the Re-
venge, Vice-Admiral Sir Harry Neale, off Cape Spartel, on her
way to relieve the Rochefort. When the Tribune left Gibral-
tar there was no ship of war lying there. The troops in garri-
son were, the 12th, 43d, 64th, and nth. On the arrival
of the 23d regiment from Ireland, the
,75th will embark in
the same ships for England. Tuesday se'nnight, Lieutenant
Pulling, R.N. Chief Officer of the Preventive Station at Hurst
Castle, seized on the north shore, IN casks of foreign 'spirits.
Forty tubs of spirits and two flagons were picked up oil Cal.
shot Castle by Captain Chandler. On Wednesday se'nnight,
the preventive boat stationed at Leap seized 122 tubs of foreign
spirits, which were cut adrift from a smuggling vessel inside the
Needles. The Tribune is refitting at Plymouth for foreign
service.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT-(TurMA v.)

TH .DONCASTER CLUB.IICIIISE.7-IRELARD V.

IRELAND.

Mr. PARKER. prayed his Honour to issue an
injunction, restraining the Committee' of the
lunatic from proceeding to sell the establish.
ment fitted up for the accommodation of the
gentlemen belonging to the Club -of the
Doncaster Race Course. The plaintiff Thomas
had put his brother Francis, who had be-
come a lunatic, into possession of the premises
for '2l years, at a rent of 5 per cent. interest on
the purchase money ; but the defendant having
become a lunatic, application had been made to
the Court of Chancery, and the property had.
been advertised for sale on the 22d lost:

The VICE-CHANCELLOR inquired whether the
sale had not been advertised under the. order of
the Court h a_ove ?—Mr. PARKER said it had.
VICE-CrIANCELLOR.—Then you must apply to
the Lord Chancellor to discharge that order.—
You now require me to enjon a sale directed to
take place by his Lordship ; I cannot do that.
The motiota is dismissed.

[PROCEEDINGS OF YESTERDAY.)
EXPARTE THE EAST INDIA COMPANY IN RE CITAILD A

. •
This was an applicationßANKßUPT
of rather a novel nature, made
in behalf of the East India Company to the Court, pray-
ing that it would overbold certain moneys, which were a
portion of the bankrupt's estate, until a Court of Law had
given a decision upon a claim which tho.,pla:intiffs had
made -upon a third party for the debt, which this third
party had subjected thetnselves to a concurrent liability with the
bankrupt.m discharge. It appeared that the Company had a
large ciaitnupon the bankrupt's estate; but from som e transactions
between these parties and the firm of Barclay, Trittori, arid Co.,it
became a question whether the latter were not liable to the debt
as Well as the.bankrupt. An action was brought -at law, and
a special verdict found for the Compan,v, but the Court had
not as yet given effect to that verdict. Under such eircum-
stanzas, the Court was now preyed to secure the plaintiffs out
of the bankrupt's estate, in Case they should be. unsuccessful in
the action against the fern of Barclay and Company.-
Mr:ll:xi-IT appeared on behalf of the other creditors, to submit
the inconveniency of locking up so large a portion of dividend
from the general use.
The Vfote•CklaardEr.r.ntt said that the way in wliich the
claimit were made upon the bankrupt's estate opened a
door to a good deal of legal doubt and discussion. Upon
some of these he was himself desirous of having the opi-
nions of a Court of Law. • It was admitted, itcWever, that
if the plaintiffs recovered against the firm of Barclay and
Co. these questions would never be raised. Upon these grounds,
therefore, he thought it the safer course' to postpone this cause
to the decision of the Court of Law upon the special verdict,
more particularly as that decision would' not be longer delayed
than next Term.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

SURREY ASSIZES, MARCH 30.
TIM RING v. COLLINGBOURN P. AND ()Turns.
This was an indictment against the defendants, Coiling--
bourne, Atkins, and Humphreys, for a riot and assault at
Wandsworth, on the 30th June last.
The prosecutor was a baker named 'Woodward, residing at
Wandsworth ; and the defendant, Collingbourne, was head
constable of the same place; the other defendants were inhabi-
tants of the same town. On the 30th June there had been a
wedding between two people in low life, in Air. Woodward's
neighbourhood, and in the evening they were serenaded by some
of the townspeople by what is called " rough music," which was
played with tin kettles and marrow bones and cleavers. A
crowd was collected, and no inconsiderable noise produced.—
In the wantonness of the occasion some of the mob attacked
the prosecutor's house, and beat the door With brick-bats and
stones. The prosecutor came out and seized the defendants.-...
Atkins and Hughes also were very active in the riot, and had
rattled stones in the prosecutor's face. A constable was sent
for, and these persons were carried prisoners into the prose-
cutor's house, but afterwards liberated by the constable, on
their promise to appear next morning before the- Magistrates.
Collingbourne was acquitted, and the other tlefendants con-
victed, and discharged upon their own recognizances, to be of
good behaviour in future.
The Assizes are expected to last to the end of the week.

THE KING, &c.

Tirrainson., MARCH 30.—Notwithstanding the unfavourable
aspect of the weather, this afternoon, the KING left the Palace
in his pony phaeton, at a quarter before three o'clock, for the
Lodge in the Great Park. His Majesty drove himself, and
was accompanied by the Marquis Conyngham.—l4ast evening
his Majesty had a large party to dinner, consisting of—Count
Munster, Duke of Dorset, Marquis, Marchioness, Lord Fran-
cis, Lord Albert, and Lady Elizabeth Conyngham, Earl and
Countess of Bathurst, Lady G. Bathurst, Earl and Countess of
Bristol, Lord Hervey, Lady A. Hervey, Lord Ancram, Lord
and Lady Maryborough, Lord Clarendon, Lord Clinton, and
several distinguished Personages. The Band of the 75th Re-
giment were in attendance and entertained the company with
some exquisite pieces during the evening. Count Munster ar-
rived at the Palace yesterday, and left at half-past two this
day. Lord Clarendon also arrived on a visit to his Majesty
last evening, and left the Palace again this morning. Lord
Clinton arrived last evening, and an audience, and dined with

tion of the Public Monument to' the memory of her late Royal
Highness the Princess Charlotte of Wales, Divine Service will

intention to pull down his stand at Ascot Heath, and rebuild
one upon a different construction. Mr. Nash is employed in
forming a new plan, which will shortly be submitted for his
Majesty's approval.

terwards admitted 'would effect a most im-
portant reform, by giving to the Gentry of Scot-
land a share in the Administration similar to that
possessed by Magistrates in England. This, it
was thought, would raise the character and add
to the importance of the Scotch Country Gentle-
men, while it would confer great and general be-
nefit on the whole community. He then left it
to the House to decide whether, after the expla-
nation which he had given, the motion of the
Noble Lord was necessary. The House thought
it was not, and told the Noble Mover so by the
rejection of his proposition, the numbers for it
being 76, and those against it 124. We rejoice
to find that a decisive opinion was expressed
last night by several of. the Members most
intimately connected with thia Orange So-
cieties, that it was expedient to put down
the processions in which those Societies were in the
habit of indulging. Mr. Brownlow even declar-
ed 4' as an Orangeman, and connected with the
most Orange town in Ireland, that whilst they
existed, no man's life or his property was worthy
a pin's purchase, and that all persons would quit
the land where they were allowed to continue."
It is to be hoped therefore that the good sense of
the Orangemen of Ireland will render it unne-
cessary for his Majesty's Government to take
any measure to repress so unnecessary, so irritat-
ing, and as it is now so universally acknowledg.
ed, so dangerous a practice. Mr. Secretary Peel
last night postponed the second reading of the
Alien Bill to FridaY, and Lord Althorp obtained
leave to bring in a measure to abolish parish
Settlements by hiring and service.

LAW STAMPS.

The House went into a Committee on the Stamp Duties
Bill.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposed to
give up all the duties on law proceedings. •
Mr. HUME asked if the repeal would apply to duties upon
Attornies' Licences in Scotland.

• The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not con-
sider the duties on Attornies' Licences a tax on Law Proceed-
ings and be could not consent to press the reduction further.
lir. \V. SMITH expressed a hope that the Right Hon.
Gentleman would consider what fee in Courts of Justice could
be reduced.

The Bill then passed through the Committee, and the Report
was ordered to be received to-morrow.

THE GREEK CAUSE.

Accounts have been received from Missolonghi,
by a merchant in the city, and dispatches by the
Greek Deputies. The following are extracts :--
MISSOLONGIII, FEB. 18--27.—We. are making great ad-
vances in the discipline of 'our men ,here.—We have made a
very fine arsenal of the Seraglio. The artillery are all being
drilled, and are gathering together a large quantity of stores for
the siege of Patras. Our press is flourishing greatly ; when
the good work commenced, it was thought inapplicable to such
a rude state of society, but now all are interested in it, and the
Greeks write for it 'on every side. Such is the rage for this
means of expressing opinion, that the English of Missolonglii
insist upon our publishing an English paper for England and
America. The Executive Body is at Cranadi. The dispatches
from that place are dated the 29th of January. 'The Govern-
ment has sent here an intelligent Greek gentleman, named Far-
inachadi; to manage one of the presses, and has lent itself most
cordially to the establishment of the newspaper. aregoing_
to establish a Frank „newspaper iinatediately-, to which Lord
tyroa has offered to contribute largely; both in money and
matter. All things considered, the cause of Greece is going on
admirably well. It may have been checked by tyranny, but it
cannot be thwarted.

Extract of a later from the Greek Minister of State, George

Conduriottis

" The Government, which he;Wiiill conviction of the virtu-
oils and philanthropic character of the British nation, looks to-
wards it with every confidence, believing that it can have no
interested views in the independence of Greece, but on the con-
trary, look to the sympathy and protection of that nation, for
the establishment of its freedom, and the restoration of the
Muses to their venerable and sacred temples; whilst genera-
tions to come of grateful Greeks will not cease to address their
homage of thankfulness. If for a moment disorders and tlis-
sensions have troubled the progress of our Revolution, they
can only be considered as a necessary consequence of the
struggle in which we have been engaged. • Little by little these
dissensions have been dissipated, and soon they will exist no
longer." . .

CORPORATION BUSINESS. Yesterday the
LORD MAYOR held a Court of Aldermen, for the general
dispatch of public business. Mr. Joseph Yellowley and Mr.
Deputy Hanson attending, were sworn into the Office of coal-
meters, in trust; and Mr. John Saunders and Mr. Benjamin
Blakesley were sworn into the office of corn-meters, in trust for
this city. The Inquest of the ward of Coleman-street attended,
and made a presentment of sundry non-freemen, which was re-
ferred to the Chamberlain, As usual. Salaries and bills were
ordered for payment. Sundry persons were sworn, and others
allowed to be sworn, brokers of this city; and coal-undertakers

WEST CITY BIBLE ASSOCIATION.

Yesterday evening the eleventh Anniversary
Meeting of the members and supporters of this Institution was
held in St. Bride's church, and was most- numerously and
respectably attended. The Chamberlain of the City, RICLID.
CLARK, Esq. took the Chair at half-past 6 o'clock, supported
by several Reverend Gentlemen.
The Report, which was read by the -Secretary, detailed at
considerable length the progress the Committee had made in
meliorating the condition of the poor, BO far as regarded their
spiritual wants, and also by opening many scenes of distress to
the benevolent. A large number of Bibles and Testaments
had been distributed in the, course of the last year : there were
still, however, many families to be supplied, and aditional aid
was wanting. The Report detailed several interesting anec-
dotes of the eagerness of the indigent to obtain the Scriptures,
and their gratitude to the Society.
Several Gentlemen subsequently addressed the meeting, and
enforced the claims of the Institution in able speeches, seem.
mending the adoption of the Report, and moving thanks to the
Treasurer, Committee, and Secretaries.
The officers for the ensuing year were then appointed ; and
the thanks of the assembly having been voted to the Chairman,
who expressed his acknowledoments the meeting adjourned.

A respite, during his Majesty's pleasure, was
.yesterday evening received at Newgate from the Secretary, of
State's Once for Jahn Castle, who had been capitally ebtfyicted
at the last 'Admiralty Session, and ordered for execution on
Friday next.

AUCTION MART NEW READING ROOMS.

Yesterday at noon a General Meeting of the
Subscribers took place in the Board Room, in order to adopt
such measures as would rend to render advantage to this re-
cently instituted Association.

On 31r. Say T 'rtzwou'rit taking the chair, he addreised the
Meeting in congratulatory language on the progress already
made, and Stated, that recent as the Instittition had been formed,
it consisted of upwards of 150 Members, among whom were
gentlemen of the highest respectability connected With the
landed and mercantile interest of the tointrY from Whose
united talent the most pleasing results were likely to be realized.
Mr. WI NST AN La Y eipresied iegtet that 4 rmstakela notion
had gone forth, that Members were to be admitted by ballot,
than which nothing could be more erroneous or dissonant to
the sentiments of those who conducted the Institution ; and he
hoped the Gentletuen connected with the Press would make it
known, that the only eligibility required from applicants was,
that they be recommended by a Member.
After some remarks by Mr. MAlViticti, and a desiltorY
conversation among the Members as to the hour when the read-
ing-zoom should close, it was agreed that it should iCinain open
until eight o'clock in the winter and nine in the summer.
A Committee was then appointed, conaiSting of Messrs.
Shuttleworth, Foster, and Adams, Directors; and Messrs.
Bailey, Goldismid, Upton, and Carrick,. PrOprietciri.
It was also agreed that the number of Subscribers be limited
to 300, and that each .stibicriber he subject to a demand of his
ticket on entrance, if expedient.
It wile also further agreed, that the Morning and Evening
Papers should be taken in double copies, and that all popular
Reviews, Magazines, Maps, and all other periodical works
connected.with commerce, landed property, Pc.c. Should be re-
gularly supplied.

consequence,

Last night, as we anticipated, Mr. CA.iimlxo,
in answer to a question put by Sir JAXIA bfAc-
twrosri, made a communication to Parliament
on the subject of the alarming reports from Rio
de Janeiro. We regret to lay, however, that
the Right Hon. Secretary's statement not quite
so satisfactory as the positive tone of our private
information from Paris, as well as of Sunday',
Etude, had led us to expect. Mr. CA.xximo
hopes that in a few days it will be in Lis power
to be more explicit on the subject :--but then it
it evident that the additional information expect-
ed by him is to be obtained from Paris! Before
its arrival, we venture to predict that the as-
surances of the French Government will be of
the most solemn and pacific character: Nothipg
is over further from the contemplation of that
Government than any idea of committing
an act of a.,,:,rreslion, until the very morneot when
every thing is completely prepared for striking
that blow, the intention to inflict which k
had previously denied! The French Ministers,
we well know, have already given aisurancmto

THE THEATRE.

The revival of The First Part of Henry the
Fourth at COTIVITGARD,II4 THEATRE, last night,
was highly creditable to the taste and liberality
of the Management. The costume of the period,
in point of habiliments, has been laboriously r.ud
successfully explored, and the general aplendour
of the dresses constitutes a very gratifying spec-
tacle, and must have been accomplished-at con-
siderable expellee. But SNAKSPIAAK deserves
all possible honour that can be paid to a dra-
matic Bard who may be ranked with the proudest
ornaments of the British Empire. On this occa-
sion Mr. CHARLES K essaLe, whose merits,
both as a comic and tragic actor, are de-
servedly in high estimation, last night, en-
couraged by his success in Edinburgh, where
the learning and taste which that city con-
tains may be supposed to be accompanied by
a due portion of critical acumen, performed the
part of Falstaff. His education, his good sense,
and the jovial spirit which he displayed in other
characters, though essentially different in their
nature, seemed, however, likely to afford a due
portion of humour for the facetious old Knight.
The chief difficulty which he had to encounter
was in himself, for it was impossible for the wind
so far to detach it3alf from the general merits of
his other performances, as to prepare it for a due
reception of his Falstaff. Without, however,
entering into an ostentatious parade of minute
examination, we may fairly say on the whole
that his performance was highly respectable,
and evinced the versatility of his talents.—
After all, his performance of last night must be
considered snore as a public rehearsal than as a
finished accomplishment. It was evident that he
displayed a full conception of the general nature
of the character, and a critical knowledge of the
text. No doubt he acted under some timidity,
as doubtful of the result, but the applause which
he received from a very numerous audience
was so decisively in his favour that he will
be able to exert his powers with more self-
possession in all his future efforts. We cannot
help conceiving that Mr. KEMBLE, knewing that
the period must arrive when he can no longer be
the youthful Romeo:, Mirabels, and other cha-
racters in which his merits are now distinguished,
is therefore preparing himself to anticipate the
progress of Time, and rendering himself equally
fit for parts of declining life. This intention
holds forth a good lesson, and a laudable warn•
ing, to the theatrical heroes and heroines of the
day, and they will do well to let it have a due
operation upon their minds. We have only to
add, that the Hotspur of Mr. Youao, and the
Prince of Wales of Mr. COOPIK, ably contributed
to the general effect of the Play.

ROYAL ACADEMY.

The Annual Exhibition wa► yesterday opened
to the Public, and, considering the inclemency of
the weather, was better attended than could be
expected. We gave a brief account of the pro-
ductions of the present year ou Saturday last,
having been favoured with a private vievv the
day before. On a second view, yesterday, our
former opinions were fully confirmed. The Pite-
►ll)lsT, if possible, increases in professional ex-
cellence, and all his Pictures excite high admire.
don. We were again delighted with his Por-
traits of the Children of C. B. CALMADY, Esq.
It is difficult to suppose that they are only
imi-
tations. The Portrait of Sir WILLIAM CURTIS,
by the same Artist, is another representation that
seems to breathe before us.—The Portr*it of a
Lady, as mentioned in the Catalogue, by Sir
WILLIAM BEaCHaY, is Mrs. Ittrmictut.D. It
is very like the amiable original, and is a good'
specimen of simplicity, harmony, and richness of
colouring. The Portrait of a Lady of Fashion,
by the same Artist, is, we presume, Lady 0 wuN,
as it seems to be an exact likeness of that Lady.
Another Portrait by the same Artist, in the new
room called the School of Painting, represents
Mr. CLARIDGE, of Jerveaux Abbey, Yorkshire.
It is also an excellent Portrait. The Duchess of
NORTHUMBERLAND is the best Portrait that Mr.
Pattur.s has sent this year, but all his others
are proofs of great ability. Miss CHESTER,
the Actress, has had full justice dene to her
beautiful person by the pencil of JACKSON.—
We mentioned before his spirited Portraits of
the Bishop of WiNcierren. and General Plum'.
CONSTABLI has a Landscape, which has all that
vivid aspect that generally marks his produc-
tions. It was gratifying indeed to see a Portrait
of the Bishop of DuattAst from the pencil of
Owen, who has so long been the victim of se-
vere illness. It proves, however, that his talents
have not suffered, but that his mind and hand
exist in full vigour.—We shall notice other
works when we have sufficient space for that
purpose.
London, England, 1824-07-09

that the Right Rev. Prelate was understood to have
attempted to assume a power of arbitrarily re-
ducing a Curate's salary. The real facts of the
case are the reverse. It seems, that the Right
Reverend Prelate, upon some misunderstanding
or misrepresentation of the wishes of the parties,
had assigned a salary to a gentleman as the Cu-
rate of a Resident incumbent, which was greater
than the latter had agreed to pay the former.—
The application to the Court was for a Writ of
Prohibition, to restrain the Bishop from enforcing
the payment of such salary, which the Court
granted, thereby expressly deciding that a Bishop
has no power, where an Incumbent is resident on
his living, and properly performing the duties, to
compel him to receive a Curate at a greater
salary than he is willing to pay.

THE QUEEN OF THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.—It i 9
with regret that we announce the death of this

personage yesterday, in consequence, we presume,
of the measles, at Oshorn's Hotel, Adelphi.—
The whole of this interesting family have con-
ducted themselves with so much propriety and
decorum during their residence among us, that
even Jonx Bum. may regret that he assailed
them with so much wanton, unprovoked, and
vulgar brutality.
