OPTHALMLC HOSPITAL

Mr. 13ENNET moved, that the Evidence taken before the
Opthalmic Committee should be printed. It was right that the
Evidence should be laid before the House in order that the coun-
try might see why 4,0001. of the public money should be granted
by a Committee which was not unanimous, but amongst the
Members of which a difference of opinion had existed.
The Marquess of LONDONDERRY said, that no part of
the public money would be granted at the mere recommenda-
tion of the Committee. He objected to the printing of the Evi-
dence on the grotintl of expenee ; the expenee would amount at
least to 1,0001. He believed the Honourable Member would,
have acquiesced in the Committee to the grant of 3,0001. He
now moved far printing papers which would cost the country
exactly tba sum in dispute between him and other Members of
the Committee.

Lord PALMERSTON, said, that he had hop that the
Report of the Committee would hazte put ah end to the disputes
which this Siihject had given rise
• 31r. C. FORBES said he would vote for the printing of ,the
Evidence; the atcpenditure of 1,0001. would save the country
the other three.

Afters few words from Sir R. FEVIUSSON And Colonel
WOOD, the motion was withdrawn, on the understanding that
it would be brOught forward early in the next Session.
TIiT CORONATION.—'FIE ARMY.
The Marquis of TAyi.;,..-rocu asked the Noble
Lord opposite, if Ministers had advised the":as.
Se'rnitling a large forte and about the MeirO:
polls ? fie had heard" 14
.riiot error ions and un.

constitutional force was now unnecessarily as-,
sembled ; and he begged to ask the Noble Lord,
if, when he said the people were so loyal, any
larger force would he employed than was sanc-
tioned by former precedents ?
The Marquis of LosnosnrulaY could give no
answer as to former precedents. But he could
assure the Noble Lord that what was done was
merely for the honour of the occasion, and not
because of the slightest distrust in the loyalty of
the people. No man could have been better re-
ceived than his Majesty whenever he appeared
amongst his people.
The Marquis of TAVISTOCK was sorry to be
troublesome, but he begged to ask, as Buona-
parte was now dead, and as peace and good hu-
mour prevailed throughout the country, as its
loyalty was so fully admitted, even by the Noble
Lord, whether any, and what reductions, would
take place in our enormous standing army ? When
we had our ally and friend, Louis XVI I 1., now
in France, and the Noble Lord assured us we
had every chance of continued peace at home, he
did not see why the example set after the wars
with Louis XI V. should not be adopted. His
Majesty's Ministers had lately pledged them-
selves to make every possible reduction, and he
trusted they had serious intentions of effecting so
necessary an object.
The Marquess of LONDONDERRY said, it would
11 be impossible to answer the Noble Lord's ques-
tions without going into a detail of great length.
The principle of reduction was certainly recog-
nised by his Majesty's Ministers, and would he
acted on as speedily and as largely as the secu-
rity of the country and our foreign possessions
would allow. The Noble Lord, however, must
see how extremely inconvenient it would be now
to enter into a detail, which could be so much
better done on a future occasion.
Colonel DAVIES; hoped the contemplated re-
duction would take place ; and also of the Regi-
ments now at St. Helena.
THE LATE EMPEROR NAPOLEON.
Mr. BENNET said that he observed that the
signature of the French surgeon in attendance on
Napoleon was not to the Report of the medical
persons which had been published in The Lon-
don Gazette, as to the cause of the death of that
Illustrious Person. Ile wished to know whether
the Noble Lord could state the reason of that re-
markable omission ?

The Marquess of LONDONDERRY said, he (lid
not know whether the French surgeon's name
was to the Report or not.
Mr. BENNET repeated that it was not.

The Marquess of LONDONDERutY said, that he
could not account for the cause of the omission.
EDUCATION OF THE POOR.

Mr. S. RICE rose to submit to-the House the
motion of 1$ hich he had given notice. The House

Jail for a long time been in the habit of granting

large sums of money to various Charities, and
amongst the rest, considerable grants had been
made for the support of School Charities. Since the
Union, no less an amount than 1,200,0001. had
been so expended. And this money, he was
sorry to say, had been spent in vain ; it had not
only been vainly spent, but most mischievously.
If, then, he could induce the House to go along
with him in the conclusion that the exertions
made to advance the progress of education had
been injudiciously applied, it would also agree
with him, that tl►e sooner the present School sys-
tem was put an end to the better. There were
three establishments to which he intended to al-

lude as instances of the expenditure upon the
purpose of education. There was the Protestant
Charity Schools, upon which 622,000/. had been
expended since the Union. Then there was the
Foundling Hospital, the support of which had
cost half a million in the same period ; and the
third was the Establishment for the Discontinu-
ance of Vice. This latter was solely carried on for
educating children in the Protestant faith ; and
had, in fact, no other object than that of Prose-

lytism ; therefore it was always viewed with the
utmost suspicion by the Catholics. When we
established exclusively Protestant Schools, the
Catholics would make their's exclusive also ;
and thus all the dissentious and animosities which
operated so much against the happiness and
prosperity of all, were engendered and kept
alive. The Report for which it was his inten-
tion to move, contained in very few words the
principles upon which education in Ireland
ought to be conducted. It recommended that
the system should he so founded, as to embrace
all classes of the poor, keeping clear of the re-
ligious differences of the various sects, and there-
by embracing the whole in the great national ad-
vantages to be obtained. The Right lion.
Gentlemen opposite had certainly interfered
upon this subject; but he thought they had in-
terfered mischievously and expansively. For
this year they had voted a burn of 100,000/. for
the purposes of education in Ireland. Ile did
not complain of their having done so; but let it
be applied upon the principles laid down by the
Corninissioners. He moved " that the 14th Re-
port of the Commissioners appointed to inquire
into. the State of Education in Ireland be re-
printed."
Mr. BROU6RAM concurred in the observations
of his. lion. Friend, as to the injurious effects
which the present system 'of education in Ireland
had produced there. At present it appeared that
the regulations of the public schools in Ireland
had the effect of excluding Catholic. Children
from them, and the consequence was, that the Ca-
tholics established schools, from which the chil-
dren of Protestants were equally shut out. In Eng-
land the case was in some respects different

Here the Dissenters had established schools.
which from their form and administration were

open to all Dissenters, yet equally so to the chil-
dren of Churchmen, The lion. and Learned
Gentleman then took occasion to go at gome
length into an exposition of the principles of

the measure which he Lad introduced into
Parliament for the diffusion of education. He
stated as a reason for his no,. pressing- the
measure this Session, the existence of mach and
warm controversy upon the subject, throughout
the country, among Churchmen on one side, and
DisSenters on the other. This controversy he
regretted, but at the same time he hoped it would
be servipeable to the measure, as it had centri-

buted very much to diffusea knowledge of the
principles upon which his Bill was founded. He
had attended to the various arguments that had
been brought forward on-both'sides, and it would
give him great pleasure if it were possible for
him to steer a line which sho-nld be likely to re-
concile both parties. lie \ils afraid, hoWever,
th`t as. yet tire differences,.sosere, tot) wide
between them. The Dissenters thought that
his Bill was too closely connected with the
Church,—the Churchman on the other hand
thought it was too little in connexion with
the Establishment, and had in it too small a
portion of its peculiar doctrines and tendency.
Between these two contending parties, it was a
matter of no small difficulty to steer an even
course, yet he thought that when matters were
more fully weighed on both sides, it would have
the effect of having liberality on one hand met
by concession on the other. It appeared through
the heat of the controversy, that both sides were
equally anxious to promote education, and it
would only require a little more time to allow
that heat to subside, and to have some matters ex-
plained ; and then he hoped that they might
bring each other to a better understanding and
to complete co-operation. That would be much
more likely to be produced by discussion
without than within this House ; and there-
fore he conceived that it would best pro-
mote this measure to' allow it to stand over
until next Session. He would now only take
leave to remind the parties how great were the
concessions which each expected from the other.
The Dissenter, by the Parish Rates, would be
obliged to contribute to a school from which his
children would be excluded, if the arguments of
one side prevailed ; and on the other, the dis-
senter should recollect that there was a neces-
sary connexion between the proposed system and
the Established Church. Nor should it be for-
gotten by the Church party that one step beyond
that limit which was necessary to keep the
Church safe and to render the schools prosperous
would inevitably injure the Church in a vital
manner. There were one or two points in the
Bill which might, perhaps, be modified. The
leading principles upon which it proceeded were,
that there should be no peculiar Creed taught
in the schools, no Liturgy introduced, no com-
pulsory attendance at Church. Some persons
had, indeed, said 'that no provision at all
was necessary for education—that, in fact, there
was no deficiency of the means of education
throughout the country. The returns, how-
ever, from the different parishes showed how
delusive was that assertion. It was charged
that those returns were incorrect. Be it so.
Then the summer would he well employed in
ascertaining their incorrectness. lie himself had
little doubt of their general correctness, allowing
for the increase of Sunday Schools, and other
changes which had occurred since the time they
were made (1818). With respect to the increase
of population also, perhaps some variations might
now occur. That the population of England
and Wales had increased by some millions, since
1811, he had no doubt. The returns, as they
now stood, showed that there were no fewer than
two hundred and twenty parishes totally, desti-
tute of the means of education, and proportionally
desirous of attaining them. This appeared from
the Digest for each county; a copy of which any
one who meant to turn it to account, might have
sent free of postage (as being a Parliamentary
paper), merely by writing to him (Mr. B.) a note
for that purpose. All that he would require
of the party so obtaining the Digest would be to
remember that it referred to the year 1818. If,
upon the fullest examination that ne could give
to the subject, he should he conscientiously con-
vinced that any part of his plan was really pre-
judicial, he would abandon it. But he confessed
he saw as yet no reason to depart from the fun-
damental principles which were sanctioned by
the Committee.
Mr. BRIGHT contended that the Education
Bill was an attack upon religious liberty, and he
hoped it would be manfully resisted by those
who were interested. The Dissenters were to
be taxed for the support of Schools, the Teachers
of which were to be chosen by the Established
Clergy, and who would teach in a manner which
would be agreeable to that Clergy. The accu-
racy of the Returns in the Digest had been dis-
puted, and as it appeared, with reason, for the
Sunday Schools were almost entirely overlooked.
He should oppose the measure of the Hon. Mem-
ber for Winchelsea, as its tendency and effect
would obviously be to throw the whole educa-
cation of the country into the hands of the Esta-
blished Church, to the exclusion and injury of
the Dissenting interests.
Mr. BROUGHAM said, he could not suffer the
observations of his Hon. and Learned Friend,
which were certainly made in a most candid and
liberal spirit, and obviously with no other view
than that of promoting calm and dispassionate
discussion, to go forth without some explanation,
lest it should be supposed that there was the
slightest ground for the imputation which his
Hon. and Learned. Friend had thought proper to
cast upon the friends of this measure. His Hon.
and Learned Friend had no right to assume that
there existed on the part of the advocates of the
measure the least disposition to do any thing in
the slightest degree offensive to any one class or
description of religious sects ; he begged leave to
observe, that the Report was agreed to by Gen-
tlemen who were as strenuous supporters of reli-
gious liberty, and as warm friends of the Dis-
senting interests, many of them beine. themselves
Dissenters, as persons in or out of' that House
could possibly be.—Mr. Bawler explained.
Mr, BECHER. thought a Parliamentary recogni-
tion of the principles of the Report would aid
the exertions of the Honourable Secretary for
Ireland, and those Gentlemen who were endea-
vouring to ameliorate the system of reduction in
that country.
After a few words from Mr. GRATTAN, Col.
'TRENCH, and Mr. %V. SMITH, the Report was or-
dered to be printed.

FOREIGN TRADE.
Mr. WALLACE brought up the Report of the
Foreign Trade Committee. lie was glad to say
tl►at" it was highly probable a mode might be
suggested for giving British Merchants a partici-

Wien in the advantages of the Indian Trade. He
trusted the East India Company would consent
to the arrangement, and thus .show that they
were not forgetful of the claims of British Mer-
chants in general.—Mr. MONEY said a few-words
in defence of the East India Company.—Mr.
kiLL.AcE- ex pla Med HuMk said, the-. East
India Company had
.often shown a spirit of libe-
rality ; but they generally viewed their exclu.-.
sive advantages with great strictness. He thought
Ministers deserved the thanks of the Country for
showing a disposition to open the trade.—Mr.
JOHN .Sm iTu approved the principle of a free
trade.—The Repo! t was then ordered to be
printed.

Sir F. CINIMAN EY brought up the Report of the
Committee on ll i4hways.—Ordered to be printed.

THE QUEEN AND THE CORONATION

Mr. Ilumt.: said, that on entering the House
that evening, he had intended to submit to its
consideration a motion of considerable importance;
but in consequence of its thinness, he should con-
tent himself with merely giving notice of his in-
tention to bring it forward to-morrow. Though
the House only adjourned over till to-morrow for
the purpose of being prorogued, he trusted that
there would be no objection on the part of lion.
Members to meet at an earlier period than
usual ; for he conceived it to be most importivit
that the country should understand, before the
prorogation of.l'arliament, how her Majesty wai
to be placed at the ensuing coronation, and that
every precaution shJuld be taken that was cal-
culated to prevent the peace of the capi:al freci
being disturbed upon that occasion. From the
peculiar nature of the court to which her :Via-
jesty's claim of right to appear in the coronation
as part and portion thereof had been submitted,
he was convinced that--
The SPEAKER called Mr. Hume to order. ff"-
thought that the lion. Member must be aware-
that it was not consistent with the usual practice
for lion. Gentlemen, on giving a notice of motion!,
to enter into the grounds upon which they
founded it.
Whilst the Speaker was yet speaking,
Sir F. OMMANEY rose and moved that the
Rouse be counted. The motion, however, fell
to the ground from want of a seconder.
Mr. Iromt; maintained that he was correct a 5

to the point of order ; he was simply addressinJ,
the House on the question of adjournment. if
any of his Majesty's Ministers had been in the
House, he should have felt it his duty to have
gone at greater length into this subject than 1e
then felt inclined to do; but being one of those
individuals whom a Noble Marquis on a former
night had accused of having by their exeitions'
risked the peace of the country, and of havifl
created that irritation which had pervaded it for
so many months, he could not allow himself to be
placed in such a situation again as wo ild court
him to have recourse to similar proceedings'/
without protesting most louldty against it. Frolll
the nature of the Court to which her Majesty''
claims had been submitted, he could not dra'c'
any favourable augury as to their decisioel
though he was convinced that tier Lawyers ha"
made out as clear a right for her Coroiaatiou
as existed at present for the King's+ lakinii;
for granted, then, that the decision of that Court
would be against the existence of the claim,.
the point which he wished. to ascertain was this—
whether his Majesty's Ministers intended to per'
severe in their system of insulting, persecuting,.
and oppressing the Queen upon all occasions, or
whether they intended to assign her a place, 44
they were in duty bound to do, among the other
Members of the Royal Family at the ensui4
Coronation. That her Majesty would attend
person at that ceremonial, he entertained not the'
slightest doubt : from what he knew of her spirit
and resolution, he was convinced that she would
be present at it, if not as a part of it, at least tv
prevent the rights of future Queens Consort from
being compromised and degraded in 'her persoil'
It was upon that account that he now
gave notice,
that he should to-morrow submit to thelfouse
motion for an humble address to his Majesty?
praying that he will be graciously pleased 1°
issue such directions with regard to the aP:
proaching coronation, as will meet the wishes °I:
the people, as will secure the rights of the (lot' t.
Consort from being violated, and as will ',rev°
the peace of the country from being disturbea---
He made this motion in order that the intention;
of Ministers might be fully known before the.(ar
of the ceremony ; and that any agitation %chic'
might be excited in the pUblic mind by thcill.
might have time to subside by that day,- hltu
peace and tranquillity.

" Ntiv Yonx, 414.-Ir 14.--The brig Boston has arrived in 19
Y 1 fr44:o. A volution has been effected at Terceira,

in which the Captain-General was killed. All, however was
quiet on the 22d of April.

" HAVANNAII, MAY 12. —I avail myself of the departure of
the Comet, to inclose you the latest intelligence from Mexico,
which has created much uneasiness and dissatisfaction here
amongst the well-thinking and higher order of the inhabitants
of this city, while the lower orders on the contrary appear
elaWd by the intelligence. The corvette, John Adams, is still
detained here, and it is whispered that she will not be dispatched
until the Patriot from Cadiz arrives, which is hourly expected.
The British ship Hall, which went on shore, remains in the
same situation ; most of her cargo has been saved. The in-
telligence from Mexico states, that a plan has been proposed
by Colonel ITuttnlDE, to the Viceroy of Mexico, for
the protection of the Holy Catholic Religion, and the
independence of New Spain. The bases of this pro-
ject, which was formed in February last, when PrunrirDE
raised the standard of rebellion, are the establishment of the
Roman Catholic Religion without any toleration, and the
erection of a Constitutional Empire. Don FERNANDO the
Seventh, King of SPAIN, was to be named Emperor of
MF.xrco, and was there to present himself to take the oath
to the Constitution to be framed by the Mexican Cortes ;
and, in case of his refusal, his brother Don CARLOS, or his
brother FRANCIS, or Archdeacon CHARLES of AUSTRIA: and
in default of all these,theMember of a Royal House that should
be fixed upon by the Congress. We know not which we should
admire most, the plan itself, or the singular idea of presenting
it to the Viceroy for his approval. The accounts from Mexico
reach to the 21st March, at which time, FrunninE's affiiirs
appeared to be on the wane, as the great desertion among his
followers had compelled him to retire before the advancing
Royal forces."

THE SUN is conducted will obtain us credit with
our Readers, when we state that there is nothing
of which we are more desirous than► constantly
to keep our minds in that state of dispassionate
coolness which is most favourable to calm inves-

cussion of such questions as may come before use
unswayed by the partial prejudices of party, or
the usual heats and animosities of political con-
tention. Not withstanding, however, the since-
rity of our endeavours to preserve ourselves in
this unruffled and uninfluenced position—this de-
sirable state of self-possession and equanimity—
we do confess, that the virulent spirit which has
been exhibited, and the licentious and unconstitu-
tional sentiments which are avowed, by the greater
portion of the Public Journals of this morning,
in speaking on that unhappy subject, the QUEEN'S
claim, have so uncontrollably aroused those na-
tural feelings of indignation which are sometimes

irresistibly awakened and excited by acts of fla-
grant injustice, or by instances of bold and inso-
lent audacity, as to impel us to notice some por-
tion of the language to which we allude, in those

ernis of reprobation and abhorrence to which

is so justly entitled.—ln this temper of mind, we
shall not at present venture to resume those con-
siderations respecting the Constitutional Asso-
ciation, of which we yesterday announced the in-

tended continuance. The violent and dangerous
proceedings of the advocates of every unconstitu-
tional principle, and of every imprudent or un-
lawful transaction► by which the Institutions of

the State can be shaken—the peace of the people
be disturbed—the administration of the laws be
degraded—the sanctity of the altar be profaned—
the highest Authorities be insulted and aspersed
—the person and character of the Sovereign him-
self be outraged—and the tranquillity and secu-
rity of the Country be endangered—are so
well calculated, in the first moments of resent-

ment and horror, to induce the mind to approve
of strong measures of protection or of retaliation,
as to render it equally unsafe and unwise, at
such a time, to continue the examination of any

question of importance, the solution of which is
to affect measures of permanent policy or of wise

and liberal administration.—lt would be tres

passing too much on the patience of our Readers,
to animadvert upon the whole of the publications
which have this day exposed themselves to the
heavy charge of endeavouring to excite a very
mischievous action in the public mind. We shall
therefore confine ourselves to The Morning Chro-
nicle. Indeed, the spirit, and we May almost
say, the very language, of the others, is on this
occasion so remarkably and peculiarly consistent
with, and similar to that of The Chronicle, as to
warrant the conclusion that the whole of the
poison has flowed f►om one source, and that one',
hand, with the view of producing at once a general
impression upon, and simultaneous movement

amongst, the multitude to be collected at the
ensuing Coronation,—that one hand has fur-
nished to the various Organs and Advocates of
her MAJESTY'S cause the text, if not the com-
mentary, for the purposes of the day !—The
Chronicle, for example, after stating that the de-
cision of the Privy Council on her MAJESTY'S
claim has not yet transpired, and admitting that
" anticipation is very little %I t a loss respecting
it," has the effrontery, following the lead given

y Mr. HUME in the House of Commons last night,
o contend that " the Counsel for her MAJESTY
lave not left the smallest doubt in the mind of
any rational person of the goodness of her
claim !"—and that" it is not even supposed. that the

ATTottNry and SOLICITOR GENERAL could them.

selves imagine there was any- force in the argu-
ments by which they opposed it !"—" But "
mark what follows,—" But, in looking forward
to the decision, people consider rather the com-
position of the Tribunal, than the grounds of the
case! !" Here, then, is an unequivocal, a hold,
audacious, unconstitutional, and libellous attack,
even upon the Privy Council itself! Such is
the composition of the Privy Council, that the
people, it is alleged, do not look either for
honour, justice, or equity, in its decisions ! Th
sworn Advisers of the Crown, the highest Digni-
taries and most eminent Characters in the State,
constitutionally assembled, sitting in solemn
judgment, in grave deliberation, upon the prayer
of a Memorial, submitted, by the petition of the
Memorialist herself, as well as by the man-
date of the Sovereign, to their decision,—
this high and illustrious Tribunal, appealed
to by the one party, and referred to by the
other, is so infamous in 'composition,— so

base in character,—so worthless in principle
and in spirit,—that the grounds, the justice, the
equity of the case submitted to them will form no
part of their consideration, have no influence upon

their judgment,—but that they will iniquitously
and oppressively decide the question before them,
in the face of evidence, in the face of justice, in

the face of the country and of the world, in de
fiance of their own conscience, their own cha-
racter, their honour and their oaths !!!—This,
surely, is more than ought to be tolerated. There
is a bound beyond which forbearance becomes
weakness,—beyond which unwillingness to punish
crime becomes the inducement and incentive to

its perpetration. If the Privy Council suffer the
solemnity and character of their deliberations to
be thus outraged with impunity, by the instiga-
gators of the mob, they must not be surprised if the
next outrage upon them be the forcible appearance
of the mobitself, within the hall of their assembly,
and the violent expulsion and overthrow, not only
of the Council, but of every other deliberative
body recognized by the Constitution. In a

little while longer, the libellers will plead pre-
sumptive right, founded on long-established usage,
in justification of their grossest and most viru-
lent aspersions ; and the constitution even of the
Privy Council will at length become such (if it
be permitted to retain existence lit all), that the
people will indeed be forced to calculate and

anticipate its decisions, not froni the maxims of
law, or on the principles of justice, but from the
domineering dictates of a Jacobin Press and the
controlling movements of an infuriated rabble !

The Times of this day says " we have the au

thority of the workmen at the Abey," for sup-
posing either that the KING will be crowned
• with THE QUEEN, or that it expected, as a
matter of course, that His INTAJEsTv may be
crowned alone. We presume that the alternative
here stated is entirely suggested by the aforesaid
workmen. The conjecture of these humble
artificers ought not to be lightly treated, for if
Urn. MAJESTY is to be crowned at all it is logi-
cally correct, viz, that THE KING and QUEEN
will be crowned together, or that His MAJ ESTY
will be crowned alone. It might, however, have
occurred to these sagacious workmen that THE
QUEEN also might be crowned alone. However,
The Times is much obliged to them for the infor-
mation which they have given on this interesting
subject, and in justice to those honest workmen,
it may fairly be admitted that the information of
The Times in general is hardly founded upon
better authority, certainly upon authority not so
pure in itself, or so harmless in its tendency.

Mn. BUTTERIVORTH.—This Gentleman is es-
teemed by all who know him, for the liberality
of his disposition, the purity of his life, and his
zealous attachment to the welfare of his country.
The Times, with its characteristic insolence,
speaks of this Gentleman as a " vender of books
and pamphlets."—Granted ; and what is the dif-
ference between Mr. BovreuwonTit and The
Times .2 Why, he publishes works calculated to
enlighten the world, to enlarge legal knowledge,
and to diffuse sound, principles; and The Times
publishes daily a Public Journal, fraught with
malignity, and calculated to excite miSchief.--,
The Times did not speak thus of Mr.
MAN, another tradesman, when he was in Parlia-
went, though there is just as wide a difference in
the articles in which he deals, compared with
works intended for the-instruction and improve-
ment of mankind-. The Morning Chronicle, re-
ferring to the wholesome advice which Mr. &T..
TERWORTII offered to the QuEEN last night, says
that" her MAJESTY ill estimating the opinion of
Mr. BUTTERWORTH, will probably know how to
appreciate the weight it receives, from the repu-
tation he possesses in the country." Mr. 13orrEn-
wonru, and those who know kin), cannot desire
that he should be weighed by any other scale,
and then he will not be found wanting in any
quality that could entitle him to the respect and
esteem of the People.

SUN-OFFICE, If.tr,F-p.ts'i Two o'CLocit.

The late hour at which' the Prorogation of
Parliament was to take place, precludes us from
givingany account of Hislll.ta r Speech As hich
was to be submitted to both houses by the
Lords Commissioners, but we shall insert an out-
line in a SECOND EnrrioN.

Tur: K Isar's COURT.—Yesterday, at half-past
eleven o'clock, his MAJESTY held a Privy Coun-
cil at his Palace in Pall-mall, which was attend-
ed by the Lord. President, the Lord Privy Seal,
the Secretary of State for the Colonial Depart-
ment, the Master-General of the Ordnance, the
Master of the Horse, the Marquess of Camden,
Earl Powis, the Earl of Chichester, Earl Cath-
cart, the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Judge Advo-
cate, Sir Charles Long, &c. &c. Mr. G reville at-
tended as Clerk of the Council. The King gave
audiences to the Earl of Harrowby, Sir Charles
Long, and the Judge Advocate, who laid before
his Majesty the proceedings of some Courts
Martial. The Court broke up about one o'clock,
and afterwards his Majesty gave an audience to
Viscount Sidmouth.
The Chronicle, in its account of the QUEEN'S
appearance at Drury-lane Theatre last night,
states that God save the King was called for and
sung ; and that " in every passage of this anthem
where the King is mentioned, the Queen was un-
animously substituted by the audience." Not-
withstanding the unanimity of the audience,
however, it appears from the same account, that
there was some trifling dissension, and in conse-
quence, some trifling disturbance ; upon which
the Chronicle gravely remarks, " This interrup-
tion of the general harmony we noticed, we must
confess, with considerable astonishment; for it
should be recollected that her MAJESTY has as
much title to be Qneen as her husband has
to be King, and that he who disrespects either,
disrespects the Monarchy." The Chronicle must
have been very much astonished, indeed, since
his very faculties seem to have been so entirely
overpowered, and his loyal and glrectionale re-
spect for the King, and vigilance for the pre-
servation of the Monarchy, to have been, so
completely suspended, that he totally over-
looked this trifling circumstance, that they who,
persisted in substituting the Queen's name, jiir the
King's, after the anthem, of " God Save the King"
had been called for, were the only parties really
guilty of that heinous and almost treasonable
offence, the supposed occurrence of which abso-
lutely shocked the weak nerves of the poor Chro-
nicle with astonishment, and with alarm for the
safety of the State ! !
Some wag, we suppose in the absence of the
Editor, must surely have been inadvertently per-
mitted to write the leading article of the Times
for this morning. Among other strokes of hu-
mour, equally happy and pleasant, we think
the following worth extracting.,--The Times is
made to lament very pathetically, the hard usage
he has sustained from Ins contemporaries ; and
then he quaintly adds, that at any rate be can
say this for himself, that " those who knew his
journal in ancient times, will attest its loyalty!"—
No doubt !—But,—Tempora mulantur !—W flat
say those persons, as to its loyalty, who know his
journal Now ?

The Duke of CLARY:sex visited the KING
yesterday.—Yesterday the Duke of YORK held
a Levee, as Commander in Chief, at his Office in
the Horse Guards.—The Duke of Yong. and a
select party dined with the Marques' of LON-
OONDERIIY.-Last night the Duchess of KENT
-honoured the Italian Opera with her presence.
Lord STEWART, the British Ambassador to
the Court of Vienna, and hit Lady, arrived in
town yesterday, to attend the Coronation.
The Duke de G RAMMONT, the French Am-
bassador Extraordinary, appointed to attend the
Coronation of his Britannic MAJESTY, arrived in
town yesterday, accompanied by the :Marquess
de PERiosoN, and several other persons of dis-.
auction.
Tray: TigEATRE.—The QUEEN, as we stated
yesterday, commanded the performances at Drury-
lane Theatre last night, and they were Goy
Mannering and The Spectre Bridegroom. Her
MAJusry was, as usual, received by a part of
the audience with that sort of violence which her
partizans have so often displayed. It is a very
easy thing in the present large Theatres for a
few turbulent characters, stationed in different
parts, to overcome the general sentiment, and
this was the case last night. Besides, a few
shillings can at any time procure a set of mob-
. .

visitors to raise a cu, and her MAJZSTY's mis
leader; are doubtless very ready to contribute
to such a purpose. " God save the King" was
of course interrupted by shouts of " the Queen,"
and for the sake of order and decency, the
performers were obliged to join her name to that
loyal and national strain which ensures the

sympathy of all wise and honest people through-
out the Empire.

Another great Capital sold lky-Bisu !—Yesterday
No. 19,515 was drawn a Prize of. £lti,ooo Consols, which was
sold by Tilsit, at his Offices, 4, Cornhill, and 9, Charing-cross.

FEELING.—A gentleman, who liked gardening,
was one day prunin!, a branch, and by his awk-
wardness pruned his leg also, by a gash from
which the blood ran abundantly. The gardener
lopking on, raised up his eyes, and in a rrwilao-
chOly tone exclahned, ",Oh !Sir, w hat a to
spoil so line a stocking !"

Commiss:oners, appointed to prorogite.l'aelia-
ment, having taken their seats in. the. Mute- of
Peers, the Usher of the Black Rod was s-entto
command the attendance of the House of Corn.
mons. The SPEAKEII, and a large. number of
Members, accordingly attended, when Parliainen t
was prorogued by the following Speech from the
Throne:—

.34 Lords and Gentlemen,
" We have it in command from his Majesty to
inform you, that the state of Public Business hav-
ing enabled him to dispense with your attendance
in Parliament, he has determined to put an end

•to this Session.
<< His Majesty, however, cannot close it without
expressing his satisfaction at the zeal and assi-
duity with which you have prosecuted the labo-
rious and important inquiries in which you hale

been engaged.

" He has observed, with particular pleasure,
the facility with which the restoration of a Me-
tallic Currency has been effected by the autho-
rity given to the Bank of England, to commence
its Payments in Cash at an earlier period than
had been determined by the last Parliament.
" His Majesty has commanded us to acquaint
you, that he continues to receive from Foreign
Powers the strongest assurances of their friendly
disposition towards this Country.
" Gentlemen of the house of Commons,

" We are commanded by his Majesty to re-
urn you his thanks for the provision which you

iave made for the public service.

46 Although the public expenditure has already'
undergone considerable reduction within the
present year, his Majesty trusts he shall be
enabled, by the continuance of peacci,and of hi:-
ternal tranquillity, to make such further rettuci-
tions as may satisfy the just expectations ex:-
pressed by Parliament.

44 His Majesty has commanded us to assure
you of the gratification which he has derived
from the provision which you have made for 11:12
Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence'.
" My Loids and Gentlemen,

" It is with the greatest satisfaction that his
Majesty has observed the quiet and good order
which continue to prevail in those parts of the
Country which were not long since in a state of

agitation.

" his Majelty deeply lamputs the distress. CO
which the agricultural interests, inthany papts of
the kingdom, are still subject.

" It will be his Majesty's most anxious desire? t
a strict attention to public ecotioiny, to 'do all that
depends on him, for the reliefof tire Country froth
its present difficulties ; but you cannot fail to t?re
sensible, that the success of all efforts for this
purpose will mainly depend upon the coati,
nuance of domestic tranquillity ; and his -Majesty
confidently relies on your utmost exertions in your
several Counties, in enforciug obedience to- 'the
laws, and in promoting harmony and. concord
amongst all descriptions of his Majesty's sul
jects,"
