THE THEATRE.

„
We may fairly congrattilate the Managers of
Drury-Lane Theatre, arid the admirers of true
comic talents, on the acqnisition of Mr. STANLEY
from the Bath Stage, who last night made his
first appearance au the London Boards as Rohr,
in Wild Oats. Mr. STANLEY is a Well-proportioned
young man. His voice is clear and well-toned.
He manages it with skill, and speaks withput af-
fectation. There was a spirit and humour in his
manner that seemed to be the entire result of his
own feelings and conceptions, nor do we know
one of his predecessors in the part whose mode of
representing it he has in the slightest degree at-
tempted to imitate. • The audience had therefore
the gratification of finding novelty as well as ge-
nuine comic spirit. There was a gaiety through
the whole of his performance which strongly
interested the audience in hiz favour, and pro-
cured him a full tribute of general approbation.
DowToN, in Sir George Thunder, was excellent,
as he always is in parts of that description, and
indeed in all that be assumes. GATTIE, a re-
spectable unaffected Actor, deserves praise for
his performance of John Dory, though it was nut
quite in the dashing style of his predecessors.
KNIGHT, in Sim, displayed rustic humour and
feeling. Mrs. Davtswkr has too much vivacity
for the Quakerly decorum of Lady ilmaranth.—
The Afterpiece, The Innkeeper's Daughter, one of
the most interesting novelties of last season,
introduced Mrs.. ALsoe in the part of Mary,
originally represented by Miss KELLY. Mrs.
ALSOP acquitted herself so well as to excite
warm applause throughout her performance. The
house had a very numerous audience, and the
whole went off with a celerity that, by shorten-
ing the interstitial periods, sustained the interest
through. the %N. hole.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ENFiELD RACES, 1317.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER I I.

The weather seemed all day to indicate rain,
but the gloomy prospect did not prevent as large
an assemblage of ;visitors to the Ahresli as yester-
day. The different races, thong!, not so keenly con-
tested as we have seen many, were gratifying; ~and
the sports of the day might be judged as very fair.
There was but little betting on each race; the
decision, of them was as follows :
A Handicap Stakes of 100,eaeli, with 90gs added by the

Fund. Heats, two miles and a distance.
Mr. Price's hr. f. Clinker, 4 yrs, ist. 101 b 1 1
Mr. Dyson's h, g. Luck's-All, aged, Sst. 516 2 dr.
Mr. Prior's h. m. Rose, aged, Sst. 31b 3
Mr. l'eirse's hr. in. Lioness, 5 yrs, Sst
Mr. MatteWs's gr. h. Master Robert, 5 yrs, Bst. eib dis.
Luck's-All made play until a little beyond the distance-post,
when Clinker-took the lead, and won the heat by half a
length. Betting sto 4 Clinker against Rose. The second
heat Lioness took the lead, but was soon passed by Clinker
and Ruse, who strongly contested the heat, which was won
in high style by the former by three lengths. Master Robert
rum Clinker in, and created great alarm among some betting
Gentlemen, but it seas soon dispelled, when it was found he
run on the wrong side of the post.—A good race.
The Gentlemans' Plate of Fifty Pounds for all ages. four-
miles heats. The winner tube sold for 150 gs, &c.
Mr. Wetherall's Cuirassier, 4 yrs, Bst. 71b
Mr Farreli's Bobtail, 4 yrs, Bst. 71b. • 2 2
111 r. Gould's Walton, -1 yrs, Bst. 71b

, .
Cuirassier wade play and kept the lead, winning the heat
easy by three lengths. Walton, by the distance-post, was
run against by a chaise cart, .and had his shoulder grazed,
which retarded his progress..-3 and 4to I against Cuirassier,
and Bobtail against the field.
The second heat was contested between Cuirassier and
Bobtail, which was won by three lengths by the former.-3 to
1 un Cuirassier.—A tolerable good race.
The pickpockets were more numerous than
yesterday, all of whom escar;tl the vigilance of
the Police, and succeeded in getting great booties
trom different individuals.

When HAY oN was in England, One of our
Princes commissioned. Sir JOSHUA RLYNOLDS
take his portrait. HAYDN went to the painter's
house', and Sal to hint, but soon grew tired. Sir
JOSHUA, careful of his reputation, would not paint
a man of acknowledged genius ti ith a stupid
countenance, and clutched the sitting till another
day. The same weariness and wont of express;ou
occurring at the next attempt, Reynolds went to
his Royal Highness and informed of the cir
cumstance, who contrived a stratagem. He sent
to the painter's house a pretty German gill, in the
service of the Queen. lIAYDN took his scat for
the third time, and as soon as the couver,ation
began to Hag, a cur-fain rose, and the fair Ger-
man addressedhim in his ratite language, %viol a
most elegant compliment. HAY ON, dchi..,hted,
overwhelmed the enchantress t iil tl ,stions ; hip
countenance recovered its animation, and Sir
JOSHUA rapidly seized its traits.

!.r of the agriculttiral, the

abundant crops and favor

manufacturing, and the Comniercial inteiests of tlrtr

lion. It is true, that whatever might have been
the fate of the harvest, in the United Kingdom of
Great BritOin; the favourable state in which the
bountiful crops of America and the continent of
EutOPe kave-been secured; would have placed us
above the prospect of absOline scarcity, and
would have kept bread at a moderate Price. But,
what must Ita.we been the situation of, the British.
farmer had au unfavourable harvest obliged us to
draw our supplies of sound and wholesome grain,
at a higher price, front other countries, to be
mixed with the damaged and low-priced stacks of
our own growth ? Such a process Inuit haute in-
flicted upon the ctiltivators of the soil inevitable
ruin ; and such is the well-poised order and eon-
ne;,tion of the different branches of society, that
no large body in the State can suffer without
other parts of the community participating in the
shock. While the farmers are benefited by a good
harvest, the advantages of cheap and - whole-
some food upon the indnutacturing interests'
of the country are too obvious to require enu-
meration. The operative manufacturer, and the
artisan, when he can buy two loaves for the price
he has been accustomed to give for one, is ,
bled to lay out the surplus of his wages incloth-
iog, and other necessaries and coitifortS fm. him-
self and his family. appropdatiOn of a por-
tion of the poor roan's wages, by greatly improv.-
ing the demand for goods in the home market;
increases the quantity of labour, and spreads
an enlivening influence over all the populous
districts of the kingdom, In a national point
of view, the blessing of a Itixdrialit crop,
well gathered, inly be estimated in some de-
gree from the following facts-:—The (pawky
of grain grown annually, in the island of Great
Britain, amounts to 30 millions of quarters, of
eight bushels, which, taken at the'average of 31.
per quarter, is of the value of 00,000,0001.. Of
this quantity about 5,000,000 quarters may be
gathered iu the month of August, .and 5,000,000
in the month of October ; leaving 20,000,000 to
be reaped in the month of Ssptember. This is
an average of 5,000,000 of quarters tiweek,
which taken at tine rate of 3L per quarter, makes
15,000,0001. in each week of September. During
the last ten (lays, property, at this rate, it may be
presumed, 11.13 been secured. This immense sum,
circulating first as food and then as capital,
through the different orders of society, must
create a vast fund of riches, and keep at home
that money which we are accustomed to expend,
iu an unproductive year, in foreign grain. It may
eem incredible to those who have not turned
their attention to such subjects, but it k a fact,
resting upon no less authority than the Custom-
House books, that, during tire year 1802, grain
and flour, to the value, at the average market
price at that time, of 10,149,0981. sterling, were
imported into this country ; and, in the course of
15 years, ending with the year 1813, the sum paid
by this country to toreigners, for grain and floor,
amounted to 46,582,7761., for which immense ex-
penditure the people of this country obtained the
average relief of only one week's consumption in
each year.

three thousand Winchester bushels of IVheut has
just been imported into Whitehaven from St. Pe-

SALor.—Since our last publication, the weather
has been as propitious as the warmest friend of
his country could desire ; and reaping, mowing,
and carrying to the garner, have been the con-
tinued and eheeiing employments of the agricul7
tori,ts through the whole of, this tertile district.

CURSoIIY RENIARKs rpoN THE TRANs.ACTIONS OF
THE LAST SESSION OF PARLIANIENT.
(J- tom Thr (DroVitt) Correspondeit' (!1' August 11.)
The fir.t Act of the Sesinn, for Suspending the
V(lrit or Habeas Corpus, met with all the oppo-
ioia in Parliament wiled' has• been alladed
Aer oecessarily contemplated the preservation
of the entire conotornity against the machinations
of a few, compratively ; but, although it tv"
thus adopted for a general intent iou of safer Y, it
was maligued by the Opposition, as twine. intend-
ed foe a particular oppression. They said, that
this temporary Law, which enabled the Magis-
trate to contend with the greater viaour against
the plotter of sedirion, or the open abettor of re-.
whs destine d, in fact, against the people's'
liberties, and intruded to support the power o
the Alinistay; and they inveighed against it with
affected fury, and resisted its enact anent with as.
Much btottle well-nianaged noise, as if they
were really ,serions—and, as if they-were not con.
-vinced in their consciences, that all their vehe-
ment declamation was meant only to gain parti-
zans from the gross mass of the crowd. Lord
'Grosvenor took a stride of an extreme kind in his
oppositien to this measnre. His Lordship was.
represented to have said, that, whether the disaf-
fection was trivial, or considerable, which existed,
it was to he ascribed to the unwillingness of the
alinisiry to Reform. If any thing to this effect
bad been-used, it appears to have wanted as much.
the sanction of truth as of common justice. Jr_ is
atom quite clear what the Noble Lord meant by
Reform. He appears unfriendly to the Septennial
Act—hut it is not quite apparent th„it lie is an ad-
vocate for Triennial Parliaments, or for Annual
Parliaments ; and there is no reason for suspect-
ing that the Noble Lord is a very strenuous advo-
cate for the Spencean principle, of sub-dividing the
superficial area of the entire kingdom among the
.people, without preference to any. If he means
by Reform, a prudent and gradual reduction of
the public expenditure; the abolition of the most
unnecessary places ; the investigation of all the
vvorking departments of our general system ; the
retrenchment of every thing which can he spared
without detriment to the public interest—he cer-
tainly must have made the assertion imput-ed to
Lim, in all the levity and negligence of a vet y jo-
cular tumour. Notwithstanding. the infinite in-
crease in the-practical-business of the• State ; not-
withstanding tire undescribabTe•complexity which
necessaiily inheres in the Organized policy elf a
great-commercial Empire, above any other—which
is prOgressively advancing ia improvement, •opir-
ience, and power—accumulating, •satvelling, and
extending—by new • acquisitions abroad ; by the
growth cit new gradations in its social system
at home ; by fresh cantonments of interest
anti of power in so many regions of the world
yet have the present Ministry effected mote,
in the way of real oral genuine Reform, than
any that have preceded them—nny, than all
the Adminiitrations, taken collective,ly, of the
last' -half century. And indeed, it. does not
seem to be dealing jostly by the Opposition to
suppose, that their- disinterested struggles for
such a timber of years—long before Lord Gros;
venor enli,ted under • their standard—could have
been altogethcr ineffectual ; that they never could
have conduced to the reformation of any thing
impel feet it) operation, or impolitic its principle—
for, if they had, the country must, at least, be in-
debted to them for so much, and the 'Ministry
have the merit and magnanimity of taking instruc-
tion from their adversaries. But the truth is,
liar whet her the Ministers lost the country or
saved it, in the manner in which they prosecuted
the war—whether they economised, or whether
they were prodigal iii time peace—are but fictitious
(pies:hogs with their opponents : propositions, in-
vetited to afford some pretexts for debate—sonie
qualification tor the arguments of a eery disap-
pointed party. The real question, always and
only dear to the Opposition, is—what are the
most probable means of displacing their rivals
from their offices. It is, in the support of this
question, that they chart;%e them with being the
authors of the disaffection which is admitted to
exist, by their unwillingness to Reform ; where-
as, it they could be candid upon such an occasion,
there is nothing more thortifying to them, thao.
the very reform which the Athniuistration arc ho-
nestly pursuing;, and the puhlie amnelioratinn
which they ate sincerely endeavouring to act:ctn..:
plish.
But, whether the Ministers are reforming in the
manner the most acceptable to Lord Grosvenor
and his friends, one fact is admittea—namelv,
that disaffection does exist. The Noble Lord is
stated to have made the admission, in wafer to
ascribe so unfortunate a fact to the unwillingness'
of the Ministry to Reform, as it would seem.--
it is unimportant how, or for what cause, the ad-
Iniss'ou was made ; but, being once made—the
I..ppOsiiion having once recognized the existence-
a disaffection—they made out a case for the Mi-
nisters, and for the necessity of their measures,
Which were calculated to enable the Executive to
meet disaffection Isith suitable energy, and to
suppress it, if possible. They are not so weak ir
to imagine, that speculative measures would sa-
tis,y the Reformers of Spa-fields—that theoretical
expedients would suppress the Luddites—that me-
taphysical experiments would appease the mobs
of Nottingham or Manchester—those who put to
death the constables, end fired npon the Magis-
tracy—or those who, in such strength and nun"
'her, were enrolled and blanketted for the match to
• Londou. They are not so weak as to imagine, that
the labour which was thrown out of employment by
41 peace—by the derangement of the general sys-
t rot of national business--would be set in full work,
by lu experiment npon the representative part of the

has not been a very servile imitation of the old
poissard Constitution of Paris, a few years ago.
.1•1 At.! Want of employment surely mist have pro-
(bleed some effect *Upon die Public—the want of
food, as certainly if both those causes operated
—and that they have there is no Master of the
seven-fold face can dare to deny—it would be
very desitable to be informed, how the pungent
awl severe effects arising out of such causes could
be removed, by any changes in the frame or in
the substance of our Constitution. If these causes
operated, conjointly with others, it would be
very desirable to be .infortned of the_. degree in
hiCh they contributed to engender the dislffec-
,
tion which existed. They operated either in the
whole or in part. If they operated in the whole,
it is not easy to discover the justice of attributing
iheir effects to the unwillingness of the Alinistry
to Reforat—it they operated in part, it- is but
fair, that the ,quantum of their influence should be
ascertained, and then we shall he the better able
to judge how much (if any) of the disaffection, is
honestly chargeable upon the onwilEogness of the
Ministry to Reform. It is incumbent upon the
Noble Eat! alluded to, and his colleagues in the
political warfare, to establish this qoatitiim—be-
fore his argument can pretend to candour, or his
inference to credit. Not having made out this
prelimioary detoonstration, we Cannot- conclude
that the disaffection which wa3 acknowledged to
exist, was for the advantage of the public peace
and interest. If it were tint, it might to be sup-
pressed.-s.and if so, the Suspension of the Writ
of Corpus, for a limited time, and the
consequent strengthening of the Executive, .was
the only expedient, in the way of obvious expe-
riment, to which the State could resort, in the
first instance, for its own salvation. 'Whether
.the disaffection was produced by the want of
employment, and of food; disposing - the poor,
anti the ignorant, and • the impatient, under the
general pressure of distress, to listen too readily
to the invocations of sedition, or to yield too soon
to the coquetish lures of Revolution—or whether
it was produced by other causes—one thing is vet y
clear: that it was not to be cured by any attempts
which might be made upon the constitution of the
Parliament, or the prerogative of the Sovereign.
Indeed, there is upon record the important atte,ta-
tion of Mr. Hunt, and practically exhibited too,
which is touch better than committing it to the
infirmity of assertion, that so pure is tl!e lloose
of Commons, so jealous of all matters of wrong
towards the most contemptible individual in the
community, that it is open for complaint, and
ready for redress, even though the Constitution
of the Country should have committed the power
of redress, for all wrongs. and injuries whatever,
to certain specific departments of its own (ovation.
When Mr. Hunt conceived himself tube libeileti,he
petitioned the Common& for justice against his li-
beller, who had defamed his reputation. It is true,
Mr. Hoot amused himself, and as many idle -fel-
lows as his political pastimes at Spa•fields aovl
other places could attract; in charging the House
of Commons with the most abominable corrup-
tion. But this was merely to exercise the patrio-
tic ill-humour of the crowd, as it appears, and no
more. Au ordinary titan, wounded in his reputa-
tion, would naturally hook to a Court of Justice
for retriht-itioo ; but Mr. Hunt thought so little
of the Courts of Justice of his contitty, mid so
much of the purity of Parliament, and of ths. sert-
sihiliiy the slander of an individual would
provoke among fire jealous guardians of the peo-
ple's tights, that he took his cause and his com-
plaint to the House of Commons, for its ahjitdi-
cation—which was practicing .a very anal-a-propos
jest loom the Reformers, it must be conless;sd.—
The House of Commons shoved their discern-
ment, as well as their proper sense of. what their
ditties were, and they repelled the complaint, cod
left the complainant to invent new public libels
against them, either in jesteir earnest, and to seek
compensation for the libels against himself front
a Jury of the country—if he were traduced.

It) whatever light the -charge may be viewed,
which attempts t o affix upon the Administration
the culpability of the existing disaffection, in con-
sequence of their unwillingness to Reform, it Can-
not be assented to, for any justice which it con-
tains. The Administration have been sedulous in
• promoting the most disinterested, laudable Re-
form, by constitutional. means. After long la-
bours, anxiously pursued, and successfully con-
cluded, new difficulties, the offspring of new cir-
cumstances, call for fresh exertions of their zeal
and wisdom on the public behalf. They met these
with firm spirits, and honest and earnest efforts.
They consult the disposition of the public—and
they invariably observe a deference towards the
rational expectations and desires of the people.---r
They even submit to conciliate them, when they
are in error—when they are ntislf:cl by exaggera-
tion, and imposed on by fallacy. They precipi-
tate the retrenchment which they had resolved to
make—they accelerate such measures of economy
as the state of the public affairo would safely
justify—they Snrrender up a portion of the equiva-
lent which they receive from the Crown, as its
public and confidential servants themselves, upon
the example afforded them by the, illustrious cha-
racter who now exercises the Sovereign autho-
rity with such wisdom and lustre. With a con-
tribution, of true Royal magnitude, made to the
public relief by his Royal }Ugliness the Pi ince
Regent—with concessions and relinquishments
made by his advisers—practical retrenchments in
all the public departments,a uniform zeal in eco-
nomy constituting the essential spirit of the policy
of the State—with all those things staring them
in the face, the Opposition have trot scrupled to
blame the Ministers, for being the causes of the
disaffection admitted to exist, by their unwilling-
ness to Reform► ! ! !

govtAGE.eer_Cort Satorday mornjug, .s4lTtat two
o'clock, a gang of fellows, seven in number,
brOke into. the 'hay-yard of Denis Lyoto,Esq.,,at
Coortbrack, in the south liberties of, Limerick,:
and having discovered a ladder standing against a
rick of hay, they placed it-under the window of
Miss Lyons's bed-room,.and four of them, by this.
means, succeeded in getting in. They .then pro-
ceeded to the bed-room of Mr. James and Mr.
Denis Lyons, the latter of whom, on hearing
.a
noise, immediately jumped out of bed, and was
instantly knocked down by a blow with a horse
pistol—when down, one of the fellows ,stood
on his hands, whi-le the remainder proceed-
ed to search the roam, alternately breathing the
most horrid threats and imprecations. Mr. Lyons,
finding that resistance would be vain, entreated of
them to spare his life, and the lives of his family,
and he would give them what money was in the
house, his pocket-hook, his watch, the keys of
every part of the house, and two large silver
cups—but they rejected this offer, and vehement-
ly swore, that '' nothing would satisfy them hut
blood or money." After an ineffectual search,
they became much exasperated, and beat the un-
happy Gentlemen about the head in the most dread-
ful manner, and then retired, leaving him welter-
ing in his blood, which flowed profusely from the
wounds. Returning to Miss Lyons's room, they
commenced a search- here also, and found a small
basket, in which was about five pounds in silver,
received a few days before for rent.of some potatoe
ground—this they pocketed, and descended from
the window in the same manner. They took no-
thing from the house but the money, and went off
thrtatigh the fields, towards Mr. Harvey's. Those
who catoe wete not at all disguised—the re-
mainder, it is supposed, were. left outside tC) watch
and prevent the family from getting ,out to raise an
alarm. When the felldws-w ere gone it was found
neceSsary to send for a Medical Gentleman—a
inessenLzer was dispatched at that early hour, and
Docto: Carroll was called on, who immediately
went out atmed, and probed and dressed the
wounds, which are deep, though not dangerous—
the principal fear is ()Hever. It is singular, that a
very fine watch-dog, which was kept in die yard,
has not sinc:n been heard of.—(Linterick&lcertizer

was some of her own family ;• she called out to
know %eh° was there, when one of the robbers
ran to the bed-room door, demanding entrance 'in
a feigned, voice, and endeavoured to force it open.

apartment, immediately jumped out of the.win-
dow, in order to alarm the servants, when one of
the ruffians stationed on the outside of the horse

.a
precipitate flight, leaving their booty behind them,
also a loaded pistol, &c.—(Clonmel. Herold.)

ENNI3, SEPT. B.—Last Sunday evening, at so
early an hour as between 7 and 8 o'clock, a large
assemblage of people paraded through the peace•
able town of Clare, and entered the houses of
some industrious families that have settled there
since 'the disbanding of the militia, and whose
sobriety and laborious habits held forth a useful
and exemplary lesson to others. After much
abuse and menace, those-. poor villagers were
threatened with being carded and otherwise ill
treated Unless- they should immediately depart
from the country. But the matter having been
represented td the 'neighbouring Magistrates,
some measpres' ba:e been adopted as seem most
likely to *iv 'priiatection to the innocent, and to
jAititlfittbith'ilty 'should they attempt to put their
threats io execution.
