THE THEATRES.

KING'S THEATRE.—The new Opera of Romeo
e Giulietta was to have been repeated on Satur-
day, but the illness of GARCIA occasioned the
substitution of Tancredi. The audience at first
were dissatisfied with the change, but the high
merits of Madame PASTA in Tancred, and of
Madame RON zi DE BEGNIs,io Amehaide, soothed
all discontented feelings, and converted disap-
pointment into pleasure and applause.
DitußY-LANE.--During the Comedy of The
Road to Ruin, in which the part of Old Dornton
was performed with great feeling by Mr. Dow-
TON, Madame CA.TAL /NI came forward at the
close of each act, and gratified the audienCe with
her great musical powers. In the course of the
night she sung " Comfort ye my people,"—the
air from It Fanatico per la Musica, with RHODES'S
variations, an air from Semiramide, and " Rule
Britannia." On the conclusion of the latter
piece, Mr. ELLISTON came forward and addressed
the audience in the following manner
" Ladies and Gentlemen—On Monday evening next, a
Comedy, a favourite comedy of yours, will be performed, to
which will be added the Revolt of the Greeks.
• "Ladies and Gentlemen—'Till the 7th of July next this
house will be engaged with benefits; and after that, I shall
. again engage Madame Catalani for a few nights, which will, I
hope, meet with your esteem and approbation: Some persons,
Ladies and Gentlemen' have found fault with me for keeping
this theatre open ; but I can assure you, that, as the lessee•and
proprietor, I have every right to-do so. I have a right to keep
it open for the year round ; and I again say the fault is not
mine, and I care not what is said while I can obtain such:
talent as that of Madame Catalitni—sitch talent as has been
exhibited before you, Ladies and Gentlethen, it is no fault to
keep the theatre open, while it meets so much of your support.
" Ladies and Gentlemen--1 beg leave to recommend to you
:two benefits which are speedily to take place at this theatre;
`;the one for the benefit of Mrs. Bland, who has been forty-two
years on the stage ; and the other for Mrs. Oxberry and her
family, who have, as you know, been deprived of the exertions
of an individual whom you have been so often pleased to favour."
EDINBURGH THEATRE.----011 Monday night
last, Miss PAT ox made her first appearance, fox twelve nights,
in the character of Rosins, in the opera of the Barber of Se-
ville, which she performed in a style of chasteness and feeling
truly delightful. .

ALARMING and DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

EDINBURGH, JUNE 24.—This morning, about
one o'clock, a fire broke out in a spirit cellar at
the head of the Royal Bank Close, opposite the
Cross, which has been more destructive in its
consequences .than any fire that has taken place
in this eitrfor many years. The flames soon com-
municated with the fiat above, which, being in' a
great degree composed of wood; blazed with such
fury, that the whole tenement of six stories was
speedily in one pile of conflagration, and every
effort to save it was impossible. It (aged with
such violence, and the flames were so devastating,
in their progress, that they soon communicated
with the houses in the rear of the burniitg, tene-
ment, the upper stories of which caught fire,
and, from their height, could scarcely be reached
fiy the water from the fire engines. 'Three
of the upper flats are completely consumed,
and every means are using to arrest the farther
progress of the flames. The large house afkfie
corner of Parliament-square also took fire, about
six o'clock, and although the engines directed all
their power to prevent it spreading, it continues
(nine o'clock) to blaze with fury, and the three
upper flats are completely destroyed. The walls
of the tenement in which the fire broke out, fell
about four o'clock, and fortunately no person was
hurt. In the honse that is destroyed was the
Weekly Chronicle publishing office and the tavern
lately occupied by Mrs. Thomas.—A. number of
engines were promptly on the spot, but their
efforts were for a long time of no avail. Mr.
Sheriff' DUFF, Bailies ALLAN and WAUGII, the
Superintendant of Police, a number of High
Constables, &c. were peculiarly active. The
greater number of the sufferers being labouring
people,, it was a truly melancholy spectacle to
behold groups of women and clrildren thus roused
from their slumbers, and driven houseless to the
street, with hardly a garment to cover them.. Had

the roof of the house not been flat, it is probable a
number of lives would have been lost, as we learn
that a few persons, whose retreat by the stair-
case had been cut off by the flames, made their
escape in that direction, some of them in their
sleeping clothes. The number of sufferers can-
not be known, but it is supposed that there are
not fewer than forty families rendered destitute.
One o'Clock.—The fire has made no progress
since nine o'clock ; it is new completely sub-
dued, and the engines are playing on the smoking
ruins.

COUNTRY MARKETS AND FAIRS

DURING THE LAST WEEK.

LIVERPOOL Cow.: EXCHANGE, June 15.

Contrary winds have prevented supplies getting to market ;
but what have arrived are quite sufficient for the present wants
of the trade. To-day's market was nearly deserted by buyers;
the best English and Irish Wheats might have been bought
4d. per bushel under our last quotations, and inferior at 6d.
Although we retain last week's prices for Barley and Malt,
little was done in either. Oats were dull of sale, probably
owing to the favourable change in the weather to wet, the
drought having materially injured the grass lands : to have ef-
fected sales to any extent, a reduction must have been sub-
mitted to. Flour was Is. to ls. 6d. per pack lower. Beans
and Oatmeal are without fluctuation. In Bonded Grain there
is nothing doing. Some sales of American Flour have been
effected, but at very low prices.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

!MUSE OF LORDS, SATURDAY, JUNE 19.
The Bill for repealing the Act against Artisans leaving the
country, the Shipping Duties' bill, and the New Churches
bill, were read a third time, and passed.
The Merchants' Law Amendment Bill was, on the sugges-
tion of the LouD CIL who thought the subject re-
quired more consideration than it had yet received, postponed
to next Session.

Mr, IlttooDElcandothers.from the Vomfrions brought up

the Bankrupt Laws Bill, with the amendments agreed to, the
Combination Laws' Repeal Bill, the East India Possessions
Bill, the Fleet-market Removal Bill, and several other bills.
Lord BEXLEY moved the first reading of the Lancaster
County Courts Bill.
Lord GIFFORD objected to extending the jurisdiction of
County Courts.
Lord BEXLEY thought that in conseqUence of the difference
in the value of money at the time when the Court was con-
stituted and at present, the sum for which it was competent to
decide should be raised from 401. to 501. Ile hoped the Noble
Lord on the Woolsack would favour the House with his opinion
on the Bill.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he could see no reason
for giving the County Courts of Lancashire the new powers
created by the Bill. There could be no• doubt that another
County Courts Bill would be brought before their Lordships
next Session. The Lancashire Court might be included in that

Bill and share its fate.
A conversation of some length follow.2d, in which Lord
ELLENBOROUGH strongly opposed the Bill.
Lord BEX LE V was surprised that the Noble Lord (Ellen-
borough) should be so inconsistent as to oppose both this and
the County Courts' Bill which was lately before the House, as
the Bills differed so much from each other.

Lord HOLLAND, knowing the remarkable moderation of
the Noble Lord who spoke last, thought it rather strange that
he should accuac'his Noble Friend of inconsistency for merely
disapproving of two extremes.—(A laugh.)
On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Bill was
ordered to be read a second time this day two months.

they were all picked up, but we regret to add, that one of the
crew, Robert Keys, is dead. Every exertion was used by the
medical men in attendance to restore animation, but in vain—
The other four men are in a fair way of recovery. Keys was an
active, industrious, boatman, and has left a widow and seven
children to lament Lis fate.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH—(Tms DAT.)

STAFFORD PEERAGE.
TUE KING 7. COOKE.
Mr. CAMPBELL moved their Lordships on affi-
davit to postpone the judgment of the Court on
James Stamp Sutton Cooke, convicted of a con-
spiracy
at the late Gloucester Assizes to distuth
and disquiet Sir Geo. Jerningham in the peace-
able possession of certain estates in the County of
Stafford, whereof he was seized ; the brother of
the defendant claiming the title of Baron Lord
Stafford, in opposition to Sir George.
Mr. CAMPBELL proceeded to state, that judg-
ment having been appointed for this day, the af-
fidavit he held in his hand set forth the defend-
ant's inability
to attend, from the circumstance of
indisposition,
he being confined with a severe fit
of the gout. He had been in attendance during
every day of last Term, and now prayed the
Court to postpone judgment for a few days.
LORD CHIEF JUSTlCE—Judgment having been
appointed for this day, you see the great incon-
venience the Court is put to in your now coming
here for delay.
Mr. CAMPBELL—My Lord, I regret the cir-
cumstance of this gentleman's indisposition as
much as any one.
The case was ordered to stand over.
THE KING V. TAGGART AND BASCOME.
This was au indictment against the defendants
for taking a bribe of 1001. in consideration for
obtaining the appointment of Cadet in the East
India Service, for a person named Pritchard. At
the trial, the defendant Taggart, a respectable
gentleman, was acquitted,and Bascomb being con-
victed, now appeared to receive judgment.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY, in passing sentence, ad-
dressed the defendant on the nature of the high
offence committed, and adjudged him to pay a
fine of 3001. to the King, and to be imprisoned in
custody of the Marshal of the King's Bench until
such fine was paid.

THE ARMY.

YEOMANICY CORPS.—The following circular
has heen sent to the Lords Lieutenant through-
out the kingdom

Whitehall, April 3, 1824.
Sin—lt has been determined by his Majesty's Government,
that a General Inspection of the Yeomary of .Greats Britain
shall take place during the ensuing spring, by a Field Officer
of his Majesty's regular fmces, for the purpose of ascertaining;
the actual state of the Yeomanry throughout the kingdom, with
a view of putting them, in such cases as may be necessary, into

pence, an arrangement has been made to divide the country into
districts, uniting into 'one district the several counties lying
most convenient-- for that purpose, and a Field Officer will-..he
appointed to examine the condition of all the corps witlin
each district. The district in which the county over which -you
preside is situated, will comprise and as one officer -will

cessary to arrange the days and places of meeting in such a man-
ner us not to allow the day fixed for the meeting of one corps
to interfere with the day fixed for the meeting of another in a
different county. • I therefore take the liberty of suggesting to
you the convenience of arranging, with as little•delay- as'pos-
sible,- with the Lords Lieutenants of the counties-of the
precise days upon 'which the Yeomanry Corps within those re-
spective counties will be ready for inspection, and having cep:.

counties, as of the Corp 'themselves, if you will have the good=

141.1.NSLA UGHTER.—john Graves was pat to the
bar On an indictment, charging him, on the
Coroner's Inquisition, with killing and slaying
Jamea'Patridge on the 2c2-,d of February last.
The parties
.met at a public-honse.,- where
words arose, and the prisoner, nfter receiving a
great deal of abuse, struck the deceased, which
caused his death. In the course of the evidence
it appeared that the deceased was the aggressor,
and a doubt existing as to the prisoner having
given the blow in his own defence, the Jury gar,:
him the benefit of it, and acquitted him.
RODISERY 13Y A SERVANT.—EIi:. Whetherell,a
young woman, who had lived for six years in t'..e
service of Mr. Thomas Hope, was indicted for
stealing a piece of plate value 41., the property
of her master, on the sth of April, last. The&
case was clearly proved against the prisoner and
the Jury found her Guilty, but recommended her
to mercy on account of the extremely good cha-
racter she had formerly borne.—The Comvog
SERJEANT said the recommendation sh.ould be
attended to.

formerly a resident at Gainsborough, was brought
up '
.and heard. on his petition. ' It appeared his
schedule consisted only of the detaining creditor's
debt, whieh, in the first instance was only' five
shillings and a penny. This he was summoned
for in Lincolnshire, '*here execution issued.;The
insolvent subsequently kept. litigating the' action
in a superior Court, whereby the plaintiff was put
to considerable expence. Ile afterwards re-
moved his quarters, and, came .to London, where he
was arrested, and confined in the Debtors' Prison.
—The -COURT remanded the Insolvent for three
months, withiii the walls of the jail. The In-
solvent replied on the judgment, when Mr. Com-
missioner Harris desired him down, and
.told him,
that if his judgment had followed, he would cer-
tainly have had ,three months more, for. a more
impudent and persevering- litigator he never saw

STEAM NAVIGATION TO INDIA.

The following is an Extract from a Letter re-
ceived yesterday from Bengal, relative to the
project of establishing a Steam communication
with India. The Committee of Subscribers for
this interesting and important object have no
intention to involve themselves in the business,
but have subscribed the money in order to
allot it as a reward to those who may effect
the voyages, out and home,- in the least time,
but they must engage that the voyages must
not be on an average more than from 70 to 75
days :

" The Committee have determined to receive 10,0001. to be,
appropriated as a bonus. The class of vessels to be restricted
to 300 tons as the minimum.—lt is not necessary that the
voyages should be two in succession—the same Company may
send out two vessels or sets of vessels at the same time—so that
two passages out and home may be effected in the same time as
one out and one home. The Committee have determined that
the bonus should be awarded to the individual or Company
whose vessel shall first establish a communication between Eng-
land and Calcutta before the Ist January 1827, and to perform
c
two voyages out and two home. The voyage out and home to be
within an average of 70 or 75 days, either by the
route of the Cape of Good Hope or Suez."

TI M F.S.]

-The abundance of money at this time, and the
want of useful objects on which it may be ex-.
i)ended—or rather, . we should say, .the want of
dispoSition to search for useful objects.--leads

very much to the abuse of that powerful instru-
ment, and to the employment of it to purposes
actually injurious to the country. Mr. Canning
might well censure the facility with which loans
are or might be made on the British Exchange
for the most atrocious purposes of despotism, pro-
vided only good security could be given. But
the mischief begins really nearer home ; and it
might in justice be complained, not only that
money would be supplied from hence for the
most criminal foreign purposes on the slightest
hope of gain, but that it is also employed here
in objects essentially injurious to the community
at large. Every paper teems with new projects—
projects, be it observed, not for extending our
commerce, for perfecting our manufactures, or
improving our agriculture, from which the
nation would derive benefit—but projects, the
tendency of which is "to nourish a species of
internal warfare, wherein, as one portion of
British subjects cannot gain but the ruin of ano-
ther, the state will derive no advantage. There is
at present a rage for Docks and Dock Companies.
Now, if the extension of docks would multiply
the number of vessels coming to them, we should
say, by all means augment your docks. But
has it ever occurred that a homeward-bound
vessel wanted room in a secure dock ? The
public will have observed in the papers, various
accounts of -the new St. Catherine Dock. We
believe that in the formation of these, there is both
much private misery inflicted, and also, if we
are rightly informed, the needless desecration of
a sacred place. But these are not the views in
which we are at present disposed to consider the
subject. On the first mention of the Docks, the
dock-shares of other companies sunk. Here,
therefore, is British capital making war upon
British capital—British subjects destroying each
other, and the State is no gainer. Nothing
whatever is produced by this conflict ; not a
blade of grass, nor a bale of goods. Mr. Canning
regretted that Government had no means of pre-
venting British capitalists from supporting the
cause of foreign despotism, from the hope of in-
terest : but we think that Government might
controul the domestic mischief which we here
point out. One class of his Majesty's subjects is as
dear to him as another; and when any project
is on foot of such a character that its success
would be a mere transfer of property with Gut
augmentation, those who have their capital al-
ready invested should be protected, both from a
feeling of humanity and a sense of justice.

SILK WEAVERS.—The following is a Copy of
Mr. PEEL'S letter, communicating his MAJESTY'S answer to
the petition of the Spitalfields•W eaversg---" Sir, I have had
the honour of laying before the King the petition transmitted
in your letter to me of this date from the operative Silk Weavers
of Spitalfields and it: vicinity, and I am to acquaint you, and
request that you will communicate the same to the petitioners,
that his Majesty cannot, consistently with the advice which he
has received from his confidential servants, accede to the prayer
of the petition, and withhold his assent to the bill relative to the
silk trade. But his. Majesty has particularly directed me, in
making this communication, to observe; that he is very sensi-
ble of the uniform loyalty and good conduct of the Weavers of
Spitalfields; and that he places the utmost reliance on their as-
surances, that under all circumstances they will remain steady
in their attachment to his person, and will continue to set that
example of industry and good order for which they have al-
ways been conspicuous.

On Wednesday last, a poor elderly man at-
tending the cattle market, dropt his, pocket-book, containing
nearly -19/. in Bank-notes ; but having circulated hand-bills,
the book and money were sent on Friday forenoon, addressed
to Mrs. TitaiSr, Grassmarket, Edinburgh, who immediatey
returned them to the owner. This pleasing instance of honesty
has had the effect of relieving " the sorrows of a poor old
man —the remainder of whose days must otherwise have been
embittered by the loss of so much money. To the unknoWn
individual it must be a source of great satisfaction to learn, that
he has thus conferred so much happiness on an aged person.
