lie wag about to lie 'up his enttimarhi—t.rot
had done gre4 'good while tie held it—and his
example, he was convinced, would not be for.,.
gotten.—(Applause.)—He had left an indelible
impression behind him. To him the actor. was
.obliged for raising. his profession to a degree- of
respectability which it never before possessed.
(Applause.),-,4hey would keep their eyes steadily
fiied on the example left them—aod, though few
could hope to rival him, as an actor, yet all might
endeavour to achieve that enviable character
which he so highly possessed--the character of
an honest and good men !—(Applause.)
The Noble CttateMsw then gave—" Mt. Rae
and the perfortneS of Drhry-lane."
Mr. Ilse returned thanks; he said, his Brethren
of Drury-lane would reflect with pride, that it was
on the boards of that Theatre Mr. Kemble com-
menced a career which he had now so splendidly
closed.---(Great applause.),
The Noble AIRM A now tailed the atten:ion
of the company to a toast which he was about to
propose. It was' the health of M. Talma, the
justly celebrated Tragedian of the French drama.
The toast was received with warm and universal
plaudits. .
M. TaLssA seemed sensibly affected by the at-
tention thus, paid to him, and presented himself
to the company with mingled emotions of sar-
prise and gratitude. lie expressed himself in ex-
cellent English, but with an occasional mixture
of the French accent.
• " Aly...Lord and Gentlemen,--This notice of a
foreigner is to me at once a subject of astonish,,,
went and delight. To be thought worthy of at-
tention on an occasion consecrated' to-
'my dear
friend Kemble is to .my heart the cause of real sa-
tisfaction. I cannot express myself by words,
but my heart is full.—[l-iere be paused, and sulk-
ing his breast, bowed:]'—Allow me to fill my glass
to the British nation and to the British stage."
'!'alma's address produced an extraordinary
sensation, and was greeted with the loudest
cheerings.
" Mr. West, and. the Royal Academy," was
then given, nod Mr. West returned thanks: "Mr.
Young," 'was next proposed ; who, in reply, said
how much he was indebted to the example of Mr.
Ketnble. " Mrs. Siddons" was next drank, when.
Mr. floasce 'Cwiss spoke as follows :--It be-,
comes,tne, to state, as my apology for addressing
your. Lordships and this Assembly, drat I do so
at the especial, desire of Mrs. SwooNs, who un-
derstanding that' this honour was designed fur
her, requested that I woad return her most
grateful acknowledgements. Your Lordship hat
observed how frail are the nisteriels of the Actor's
work. His exertions,, unlike those of other
Artists, perish even in the moment of their births
no scroll, no canvas, no marble, preserves them
but as it were in a mirror; they " come like'sba.
dows, so derart." it is only, therefore, front the
impression which the towers' of great Tragedians
IMVC produced on the acknon ledged judges of their,
own time, that posterity can °bruin any Olik iiket
criterion of their (tete; : and must sistendidly
has, contemporary °pillion to;day attested and
recorded the excellence of its, favourites, in this'
thronged attendance, end pervading enthusijisni of
an assembly
.so distiuguislzed in every Various
walk of talent and of taste. I will only edit, that
if there be't'tor(, which can, more forcibly im.l
feelingly thao any Others, comes,' to such an au-
ditory the deep sense which Mrs. Storsolas will
always retain of the honour and kindness now con-
ferred upon her, those are the terms which, email
she herself have been present, she would -have
selected to entress the thanks 1 but attempt so
imperfectly offer ireher name.
" Mr. i"iaxruars, the Sculptor," was given, and
he returned thanks ; and after a variety of other
toasts the Meeting separated, delighted' with the
intelleettial neat 'of the evening, though deeply
regtett ing. the-occasion of it.

SATURDAY, JU.VE 28, 1817:

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Wednesday last. They contain a long account
of the affair beforethe rrtibunal of Correctional
Police respecting the contest some time since be-
tween M. Arnault, ,inn. son of the Author of Ger-
manium, and M. Martainville, a Cvi!ic connected
with the Oa:we de France. The criticism of the
latter haring given offence to M. Arnauiti.jun • he
made an assault upon AI. Martainville in a coffee-
house. TheTribtmal,after hearing the case at some
length, sentenced M. Arnault to one day's itn-
prisonmenr, and a fine of 50 francs. This deci-
sion, the Gazetie de France says, did not satisfy
either patty, and by common consent t,hey.ap-
pealed to a trial by battle, with the rcsolt of
which (one of the parties WEtS sli,ittly hurt) they
were at length content.—The following are ex-

tracts :—.
