Summonses for a Cabinet Council were issued on Sa-
turday night. The Ministers assembled yesterday after.
noon at the residence of Earl GREY, in Downing-street.
All the members of the Cabinet attended except Lord
DultiiAm, who is at Dover. The Council sat four hours
in deliberation.

Prince TALLEYRAND and Monsieur MA.vaoJam, of the
Turkish embassy, visited Viscount PALMERSTON on Satur-
day at the Foreign-office. Earl GREY also visited the
noble Viscount on Saturday.
The MASTER of the ROLLS, the JUDGE of the ADMI-
RALTY COURT, the Right Hon. HOLY MAcxEriztE, and
Mr. ELLIS, held a meeting as Lords of Isis MAJESTY'S
Most Hon. Privy Council, on Saturday morning, at the
Council Chamber, Whitehall, to hear appeals from the
Colonies. Mr. GREVILLE attended as Clerk of the Council.
After a number of petitions had been disposed of, the
arguments of Counsel in an appeal from the Court of
Exchequer of the Isle of Man, by Mr. JoHti BURROW,
claiming the restitution of 6,166 gallons of foreign spirits,
were resumed, Mr. PEMBERTON and Mr. Sergeant STE-
PHEN appearing for Mr. BURROW, and the ATTORNEY-
GENERAL and the KING'S ADVOCATE for the ATTORNEY.
GENERAL of the Isle of Man.

The first question was, whether the importation of the
spirits was prohibited by law ? This was decided by their
Lordships in favour of the appellant.
A cross appeal was then entered into, in which the
former appellant became the respondent : it was a question
of fact whether the spirits were brandy or spirits of wine.
A variety of evidence was gone into on both sides on this
point. Their Lordships afterwards adjourned.
The Marquis of ANGLESEA and Viscount ALTHORP had

STAWELL, Messrs. FazAnEItLEY, WALTER, TYNTE,

THE KING'S ANSWER.—The following is
a verbatim copy of his RIAJEsTv's most gracious Answer
to the Address of the House of Lords, as read by the
LORD CHANCELLOR on Thur:day. From the feverish
state of the question regarding Ireland it is important
that the exact words of those in authority should be
known :

"Mr LORDS,—I thank you for your loyal and dutiful
Address.

" I receive with peculiar satisfaction the assurance of your
determination to support me in maintaining inviolate the Le-
gislative Union between Great Britain and Ireland, and in put-
ting down a spirit of insubordination and violence, the prompt
and effectual repression of which is indispensable to the wel-
fare of my Irish subjects, and to the general peace and security
of my dominions."

On Tuesday afternoon, just as the KING was
entering the state carriage after opening Parliament, the
off leader became restive, and on Captain HORACE SEY-
MOUR, who, we believe, is master of the stud, taking
hold of the reins, the horse reared, and placing his fore-
legs, upon the shoulders of the Captain, brought him
completely on his back, and immediately under the animal.
Captain SEYMOUR clung fur a few seconds to the neck of
the horse, but was obliged to let go his hold, when the
animal trampled upon him, without, however, materially
injuring him. The Captain's situation was observed by
his MAJESTY, who, we understand, anxiously inquired
whether he was hurt, and was answered in the negative.

As a proof of the great excitement in the
f ishionable world, respecting the appearance of Madellloi9elle
DUVERNAY in the Sleeping Beauty, at Drury-lane, next
Wednesday, we learn that the following distinguished
persons have boxes for that evening :—The Duke of DE-
VONSHIRE (Lord Chamberlain), the Duke of SUTHERLAND,
Earl of CARRINGTON, Lord BESBOROUGH, Lady E
TurNNE, Mr. DUNCOMBE, MIS9MELLISH, LOITIFIOLLA NO,
his Grace the Duke of BEDFORD, Lord WILLIAM LENNOX,
his Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, and her Royal
Highness the Duchess of KENT.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—The ballet
of _Kenilworth was produced at this theatre on Saturday.
Many of the parts were sustained by the same persons who
appeared in theta on its production at the Opera ; and
we are greatly mistaken if the Opera scenery, dresses, and
properties pertaining to the ballet of _Kenilworth have not
taken a flight eastward to assist in its re-production at
Covent-garden. GUERINOT and LEROUX are scarcely
equal, as far as acting is concerned, to LEFEVRE and the
bewitching BROCARD in the parts of Leicester and Amg;
nor is Mr. PAYNE an altogether satisfactory substitute for
Srar.ox as Varney, but Mrs. VINING is as good a❑
Elizabeth as ZOE BEAUPRE ; and, indeed, the whole of
the performers seemed to give the highest satisfaction to
the audience, who bestowed as much applause upon them
as their predecessors were wont to receive at the King's
Theatre. The stage arrangements were well contrived,
though the fete in the last act was deprived of some of
its spirit and variety. The charming music of COSTA was
as delightful as ever, and the whole performance went off
with excellent effect.

A piece is announced to night at the City
theatre, entitled the Five Degrees of Crime ; it is, we
believe, from the pen of Mr. REDS, the successful author
of the Rake's Progress and the Loves of the Angels
The plot is that et a French drama founded on fut.
The Banquettitog-house at Whitehall, now
used as a chapel, possesses a ceiling painted by Rubens,
which is ❑bout to be doctored for a decay of the system..
It is about to be placed under the care of some recoverer
of old masters, doubtless for the benefit of " fresh air."
We tremble at the idea !--Library of the Fine Arts.

GEORGE the Fourth is said to have been
somewhat annoyed, on entering the levee room at Holy_
rood (Aug. 1822), in full Stuart tartan, to see only one
figure similarly arrayed, and of similar bulk—that of Sir
WILLI.% NI CURTIS. The City Knight hid every thing
complete, even the knife stuck in the garter. He asked
the KING if he did not think him well dre'sed. " Yes,"
replied his MAJESTY, "only you have no spoon in your
hose." The devourer of turtle had a fine engraving ext,
cuted of himself in his Celtic attire.—Murray's Byron,
Vol. XIV.

It is in contemplation to start a light mail-
coach, to travel nine Irish miles an hour, on the line from
Westport to Dublin. May o Constitution.

lateral form, and is supported in the centre by a great

column, also quadrilateral. Three sides of this colutnn
bear three winged genii larger than life, and on the side
fronting the door there is a long Etruscan inscription.
All round this inscription are beautiful ornaments of fishes,
and on the left side a group of figures very animated and
well designed ; above which there is another long Etruscan
insctiption. About the tomb are three rows of steps, on
which are placed several sarcophagi, with male and fe-
male figures in bas-relief, and mortuary inscriptions, in
the Latin language, relative to the citizens of Tarquinia'
there buried. In fine, the magnificence of this tomb, and:
singularity of its construction, its pictures, and inscrip-:
tions, are calculated to excite, in the highest degree, the
curiosity of the lovers of antiquity.
