lence the late Mr. KEMBLE in this character, we
should have been more satisfied with the per-
formance of Mr. MitourAny, who, however, made
a respectable stand in it. Mrs. BuNN, in person
and acting, was an impressive Volumnia. The
great attraction of the night, however, was
CATALANI, whose warbling drew a numerous
audience, who expressed their delight by exact-
ing several encores.
COVENT-GARDEN.—Mr. KENT appeared again
last night in the part of Richard, and, as before,
had many friends in the House. As we last week
expressed our opinion of his acting, we have only
to observe, that from what we saw of his per-
formance yesterday evening, we have no reason
to think otherwise. We observe that the Morn-
ing Critics refer to Mr. KEAN'S representation of
the part, and speak of it as far superior to that of
Mr. KENT. For our own part we cannot perceive
that superiority, and w.' are induced to suppose
that if Mr. KENT had preceded Mr. KEAN, his
performance of Richard would probably have
been not less successful. But fashion and pre-
judice generally bear down taste and judgment ;
and, viewing most modern performances, we are
disposed to say—
" Oh, woe is me! to have seen what I have seen,

" See what I see."
SUltit ItY ThcArrat.—A great disturbance took
place last night at this Theatre, owing to the snb-,
stitution of another performer instead of Mr. 11.
KE74IaI.E. A large part of the audience demanded
the latter, who appeared, and loudly applauded
him. Mr. CARTILEDGE, the actor, substituted,
attempted to address the audience, but in vain.--

THE LONDON JOURNALS,

DAILY

_Extracts front the Morning Papers, June 22.

[MORNING POST.]
The Eloile of Sunday and other Paris Journals
of Saturday reached us last night by Express.—
The only article like intelligence which they
contain is one which does no great honour to
France or to its Monarch. It is the gracious re-
ception of the Portuguese rebel at the French
Court. Instead of being kept at a distance from
the metropolis,as was originally expected, he has
not only been allowed to make it his place of re-
sidence, but has had the honour of being pub-
licly folded in the King's arms, as if he had not
brought with him the reputation of a traitor, and
a hand but just guiltless of a father's blood. It
is possible that he may have been kept in counte-
nance during this interview by the presence of
some of his accomplices, for there is scarcely any
doubt that one part of the French Ministry was
connected with the plot which was to rob the
_King of Portugal of his last remaining kingdom,
and to lay that country as completely as Spain
now is, at the disposal of France. The Papers
hostile to M. de Villele have set afloat fresh ru-
mours of an approaching change of Ministry. The
Journal des Debats even half threatens him with
being turned out before the opening of next Ses-
sion : but it appears on the contrary that he is
daily acquiring strength, and that when that pe-
riod shall arrive Lis power will be found consoli-
dated rather than impaired.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
We understand that it is the intention of our
most Gracious Sovereign to visit Carlsbad for the
benefit of its salubrious waters, which are of
peculiar efficacy in the removal of gout. This
excursion has been suggested by his Majesty's
physicians ; and, if he be sufficiently restored in
health to undergo the fatigue of the journey,
there is but little doubt that in the ensuing
month the design will be put in execution. It is,
we believe, the Royal pleasure also to live in
domestic retirement, as far as his high and com-
manding station in society will permit. His Ma-
jesty NVill be accompanied by those officers of his
household who have for some time back been in
immediate attendance about his person. The
Royal Party will little extend beyond these few
and select friends of his Majesty. It is expected,
however, that the presence of Royalty will make
the town a place of gay and fashionable visitors,
during the period of his sojourn there.

SLAVERY.

_ .
Several Petitiisns from parishes in the Counties of Surrey and
Kent, praying for the gradual abolition of slavery in the Colo-
nies, were presented by the-Duke of RICHMOND; and Lords
SELSEY and TOURING TOY.—Laid on the table.

• Earl GROSVENOR said, that if he saw a;yremissness on
the part of his Majistv's 3linisters in carrying the gradual abo-
lition of slavery into effect, he should call the attention of their
Lordships next Session to some measure on the subject.
The Earl of ROSE BERRY presented a Petition from the
County of Linlithgow against (it was understood) the Scotch
Distilleries Bill.—Laid on the table.

EARL.M.II-ISTLIL.
Lord HOLLAND, in moving the third reading of the Bill
to authorise the Earl Marshal to exercise his functions, said
that after the sense of the House had been so clearly expressed
in favour of the measure, it would be unpardonable in him to
delay their Lordships. He therefore only repeated, that in
passing the Bill they were doing an act of grace to a most
worthy individual, and were doing it at the moment when it
must prove most acceptable.
The question was then put and agreed to unanimously, and
the Bill was read a third time, passed, and sent to the Commons

BAR OF BOMBAY.

Sir G FORBES rose to bring forward the motion of which
had given notice, respecting certain irregularities charged
to have occurred in the Recorder's Court at Bombay. He en-
tered.into a detailed narrative of these, but in so low a tone
That scarcely a single sentence was distinctly beard in the gal-
lery. The import of them, however, appeared to be in defence
of the conduct of Sir Edward West, the Recorder, who had
suspended the Barristers of the Court for six months. He
Moved for several papers relative to the regulations of the
small Court at Bombay which were entered into since the year
:1721 , with regard to the Barristers of the said Court.
Mr. JONES seconded the motion.
Dr. PHILLIMORE opposed the motion, as the case was
rum before the Privy Council, the proper legal Tribunal for
disposing of it.
Mr. BROUGHAM also opposed it. He had a great re-
spect.for his Hon. and Learned Friend, Sir Edward West,
but he really thought he had, on this occasion, shewn an infir-
mity of temper, which he (Mr. B.) believed was the only pee_
.citnt part about him.
Mr. COURTENAY moved the previous question; and
after a few words from Mr. TRANT, Sir JAMES 3IACKIN-
Tom, and Sir CHARLES FORBES, the original question was
put and negatived without a division.
The House adjourned at a Quarter past Eleven O'Clock.

JAMAICA PAPERS.

Etworrox, Juxic 23.:—.00 Saturday night, the 13th, two
trash-houses were set on fire on die Alexandria estate by the
rebels, and entirely consumed. This was to have been the
signal fur the other estetes to follow the example ; but the ap.
pearnnce uf the military kept them in awe. The next day, dur-
ing the abseence of the white people, who were on duty at
Argyle, live of the principal negroes on Golden-grove estate
broke into the Overseer's house and carried away a fowling-
piece and pistols; they also plundered the estate stores. About
thirty men and four women then absconded fru►n the estate,
and joined the Argyle negroes in the woods. The seine night

THE DUCHESS OF RICHMOND.

Dunt.ix, Aua. 10.—Yesterday her Grace the Dowager
Duchess of Richmond arrived at Morrison's Hotel, Dawson-
street, accompanied by the Ladies Susan and Sophia Lennox.
Several distinguished personages have wince waited on her. This
day the joy-bells were in motion to testify the respect which
this amiable Lady is held in by the citizens of Dublin. A Post
Assembly has been called for the purpose of preparing " a
congratulatory address to her Grace.' The Duchess has very
wisely declined the address alluded to in this paragraph.
Her Grace stated she was duly sensible of the kindness of the
intention, but that she preferred being permitted to prosecute
her tour, without receiving any public nutrks of attention.—
Nothing could be more prudent than this. The projectors of
the address merely wished to revive party feelings and asso-
ciations which it is no longer the fashion " at Court" to .che-
rish ; and the Duchess of Richmond, who is as sensible as she
' is amiable, justly considered that it would be bringing no in-
crease to her consequence at the other side of the Channel, to
be held out at the herald of discord at this side. Her Grace,
we are glad to hear, is in excellent health.—t The Patriot.)

DANIEL DULAN v, Esq.—This Gentleman, who
was well known in thr genteel circles, and the
musical world, died ou Thursday, at his house i►►
Downing ..treet, at ►►u advanced age. He was a
native of America, but disapproving of the Re-
volution in that country, came with other loyal
characters to England. He was polished in his
manners, liberal in his disposition, and possessed
a mind sti ell stored with learning, literary taste,
and knowledge of mankind. Few have been
more deservedly respected in life, or have
fallen into the grave more respected by those
who had enjoyed the pleasure of his acquaintance.

The Princess A uGusTA,u ttended by the Dowager.
Countess of liAncounT, went from Frogmore on Alonday last
on a visit to the Duchess of G_LotreErrEn7 _

Yesterday was the birth-day of the Duchess of
CLARENCE, when her Royal Highness completed her 32d year.
The Prince of COllO U who travels under the
name of Count HENWEnuno, reached Paris last Wednesday
evening.
The Governor of the Sandwich Islands, and
the rest of the suite of the late Kimo, on Wed-
nesday paid a visit to several eminent mercantile
houses, accompanied by a merchant, Mr. JoHN
LOWE, for the purpose of purchasing samples of
the different manufactures which are likely to
prove valuable in those islands. We understand
that they profess a groat desire to purchase all
that they may want in this country, in prefe-
rence to deriving their supplies from the Ame-
ricans, with whOm they now carry on a trade
far more extensive than is imagined ; and they
estimate that the islanders, even in their pre..
sent state of civilization, will require articles
from this country to the amount of more than
100;0001. annually.

Pat sLEY RI rt. E CO II PC—We understand that the Paisley
Rifle Corps, commanded by Captain APAlpine, had lately a
contest for a medal to the beat marksman. The scene was at

and extensive view of the river and frith of Clyde and adjoin-

a very handsome manner, by Dr. Robertson, the proprietor.
The ability displayed rendered it extremely difficult to point
out the victor ; but at last, with general approbation, Mr. John
Adam, jun., was announced as such, and the prize was ac-
cordingly assigned hint. This corps is composed of young
Gentlemen who provide their own clothing and accoutre-

during the disturbances in the West, for the protection of
the loyal, peaceable, and industrious citizens; and com-

skill and valour in their country's battles abroad, and in
whom they confided as undaunted leaders when called on to

be quite sufficient to guard against such a difficulty, which no
one could be more anxious to avoid than himself. After speak-
ing in general terms of approbation of the statement brought

MONEY 'OR BLANKS.

rrBISH respectfully reminds those Lottery
Adventurers who have had their Tickets or Shares drawn
Blanks the Fist Day of the present Lottery, that they have
till the 10th of March (Next Month) allowed them to convert
them into Prizes, by receiving at the rate of 101. per Ticket for
them-; after which day the claim for the 101. entirely ceases,
and then the Holders must take their future chance. T. BISH
feels it necessary to observe, that those Blanks are of equal-value
with those Numbers which were not drawn, as every Blank will
be again put into the Wheel, consequently they have already
become again undrawn ; and it is more than probable some of
those Numbers, already drawn Blanks, will, in their next. draw-
ing, be some of the Five Prizes of 20,000/.,,and Twenty-nine
other Capitalti, which still remain to be drawn; and Two of
which 20,0001. Prizes must be drawn irrthe First Five Minutes
on the next Day, which will be the 17th Next Month (St.
Patrick's Day.)

Those persona who do not take the Money for their
Blanks, arc informed their Tickets and Shares need not be ex-
changed or marked, nor need they give any notice of their in-
tention to keep- their Ticket or Share and take their second
chance, as the same identical Numbers will be drawn again;
just as if they never had been drawn previously, notwithstand-
ing they haVe already had one chance for the Capitals and other
Prizes already drawn.

COPENHAGEN, FEl3.3.—Saturtlay last, the 28th ult., being
the 58th Anniversary of the King's birth-day, the same was ce=
lebrated in this city in the most loyal and affectionate manner.
There was the usual entertainment at the Military Academy,
172 individuals, and 205 children, partook of an excellent
dinner. The King's health was drank amid the thunder of
the cannon. Amongst the memorabilia of the day, his Excel-
lency the British Ambassador shone very conspicuously. His
large Hotel was brilliantly illuminated, and attracted crowds of
admirers throughout the evening. The Royal initials of Den-
mark were splendidly displayed, under a large radiant star, sur
mounted by the Crown, in all the colours of the rainbow, by
means of variegated lamps. There was a grand assemblage at
Court to felicitate his Majesty.
The Stockholm Gazette of the 30th ult. says--The day be-
fore yesterday the citizens of this capital gave a most splendid
fete, at which upwards of 1,100 persons were present, including
all the great Emvloyes at Court. the Military and Civil Offi-
cers, the Corps Diplomatique, &c. Her Majesty the Queen
condescended to open the Ball with Mr. Arfredson, merchant;
his Royal Highness the Crown Princedanced with Miss Schwan ;
and, her Royal Highness the Crown Princess honoured with her
hand in the dance Mr. Moll, Merchant. Instead of the form
and Reideur, generally so much complained of in the courtly
circle, here, where the happy amalgamation of the respectable
citizens with the most illustrious personages of the realm took
place, every thing wore the hue of satisfaction, joy, and good-
humour, anti the day will doubtless long be remembered with
unmixed delight by all who were guests on the interesting oc- 1
casion.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday a Court of Common Council was
held at Guildhall.
The Court was specially called, for the purpose of consider.
ing the subject of antapplication which had been made to Par-
liament for power to erect docks between the Tower and the
London Docks.
A memorial was presented from the Yeomen of the Water-
side, stating, that in consequence .of the obstructions they had
met with, they could not execute the order of the last Court, in
respect of placing salesmen at the standings to which they had
been appointed, and that actions had been brought against the
Yeomen for trespasses in such their endeavours.
The Court instructed the Yeomen to enforce their former
order, and requested the Lord Mayor to afford such assistance
to the officers as might appear necessary ; and the City Soli.
citor was directed to defend the actions brought against the
officers.
A petition was presented from several inhabitants of Upper
Thames-street, praying the Court to consider the expediency of
widening the said street, so as to afford convenience to the pub-
lic, as, in the event of the new Docks being made, much mis-
chief would arise to the petitioners, and great inconvenience to
the public.—lt was referred to the Improvement Committee:
Petitions were then presented from Mrs. Butcher, Mr.
Butcher, and Mr. Matthew Bell, in relation to the standing!:
in Billingsgate Market; which being read, were referred to the
City Lands Committee, to examine and report thereon.
The Remembrancer then laid before the Court a copy of the
Petition which had been presented to the House of Commons,
for an Act to construct additional Docks, occupying the space
between the Tower of London and the London Docks, with
warehouses and other works ; which was referred to the 'Navi-
gation Committee.
Upon a Report from the Committee for General Purposes,
the Court voted the sum of 3001. in aid of the funds of the
Guardian Society.
The Committee appointed in respect of Tithes in London
presented a report, for affording the assistance of the Recorder,
Common-Sergeant, Town-Clerk, and Solicitor, to an inhabitant of the parish of St. Olave, Hart-street, in a suit instituted
against him by the Rector, for the recovery of tithes, at the
rate of 2s. 9d. in the pound upon the back rental of
his pry.
mists ; which was read, agreed to, and referred back to the
Committee, to give directions accordingly.

Parker, of Durham.
Yesterday, at Hackney, John Fisher, Esq., of Dorchester,
to Esther Jopson, eldest daughter of Samuel Marshall, Esq.,

THE THEATRE.

DituaY-LANE..--We cannot but feel for Ma.
nagers who are obliged to sacrifice to the vitiated
taste of the Public, in bringing forward pieces
which might properly be introduced at Minor
Theatres, but which can hardly be deemed
worthy of the Patent Boards. Last night a
piece, entitled Rumfustian inamorato, or The
Court of Quodlibet, was brought forward at this
Theatre, the very name of which may be thought
to justify our objection to such compositions.
The truth is, that the Duke of BUCKINGHAM, in
his Rehearsal, and of HENRY FIELDING, in his
Tom Thumb, sufficiently held up to ridicule the
Bombavt of Tragedy, and SHERMAN closed the
subject in his admirable Critic. The Performers
last night discharged their duties with spirit and.
humour, and afforded much amusement to the
unrefined part of the audience, but the piece-,
itself could not but make " the judicious grieve."

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]

The country is greatly indebted to Mr. Wil-1
lianas for the uncompromising firmness and public I
spirit which he has displayed is his warfare with
that greatest of all abuses that any country was
ever cursed with, the English Court of Chancery.
Of the danger of the task. on which he en-
tered, he furnished the most satisfactory of all
preofs,. in his, account of the answers he
uniformly received from professional men
to his applications for information respect-
ing certain cases in which they had been engaged.
They were " unwilling to afford the information,
lest they should be marked in the surrounding
offices ;". and it is curious enough that, though
a number of them at first conversed freely
enough on the subject of the cases in question,
and expressed a readiness to communicate the
information, yet, on reflection, they shrunk
from the pledge, thus affording a confirmation
of the truth of an observation made by an
eminent writer, that deliberation is seldom
favourable to generosity—that men may be
surprised into disinterestedness ; but that
the thoughts in the long run generally settle
on self. The profession have, some how
or other, got it into their head, that the
more intricate and difficult the law is, the
greater will be the litigation ; that the more te-
dious and involved the forms of proceedings are,
the longer will the snit last ; and that the longer
the suit lasts, the greater the share of the
property under litigation is likely to accrue to
themselves. They have also an idea, that of
all the properties possessed by man, there
is none which is more characteristic of him
than that which the Phrenologists call corn.
bativeness ; that a very slight chance of suc-
cess is sufficient to call the disposition to liti-
gate into action ; and that therefore there is
very little risk of any one being allowed to carry
off quietly any property which can be con-
tested by another, and which they have a
just right to consider as hypothecated to them-
selves for the cost of litigation. Under these
circumstances, we can hardly be surprised
that they should he somewhat shy of fur-
nishing arms against themselves ; that they
should view Law Reformers pretty much in
the light in which Political Reformers are viewed
by the Electors of the Boroughs of Devon and
Cornwall ; and, though they may be too polite to
assail them with the vituperation which the
[ladies of Honiton poured out with so much elo.
quence against Mr.. Cobbett and Lord Cochrane,

who came, as they said, ill takctlfe bread out of
the mouths of their children,: yet their .hosti
lity may not be, on that accotnit„,the less de-
cided. Indeed, so decided is the feeling in the pio-
fession that when honesty, in 'iiiiystas-e.' so far'
prevails over interest, as to draw from.a•ny Of its
Members any suggestion of improvement—such
conscience-stricken individuals, as we have occa-
sion to know, dread nothing so much as the re-
putation of their goo.d deeds. A thief who
benefits the public by a disclosure cannot be
more anxious to remain unknown to fame.
