THE CATHOLICS.

The Catholic Committee met in Dublin 61.)
.day la,i, purltctnt 'to adjournment. The Petition td
Pcitfiat-tent, prepared tyy the Sub,ComFifittee, wi:i
road,

Mr.. JonN BYaNE begged to propote.Ta meascr.
vis•hich 1 0. hoi:ed would •receive the concurrence of
thecymi4ittee. Tire object I hove iu .View is td
Solicit a convocation- of an Agv.egate Meeting; and
if the persons composing that meetingshould think.
it titling, it my intention to propose to them td
substitute, in the place tot a Petition; an Address to
the Prince of • Wales, as Regent. We -have every •
irason td expect flo'in the Prince such favour,. as
will entirely supersede the necessity of planiuding,
Mr. BYRNE 'Alen utuVerl the following Resolu-
tions . .
Resolved, That an Aggregate Meeting be con-
yokal, -to consider the propriety .of Substituting an
Address suitable_to the occasion; in place of the Pe-
tition recently resrlred on-7in c:rse ut t tie establish-.
(tient of the. Regency of-his Royal Highness the
Pruloc of Wales at this important juncitne,"
Mr. exi.ected to have heard another
argument from Mr. Byrne, namely tiv,it it wi) rid be
indelicate Co disturb the,nv* Ni,ntstiy. We all
linow the integrity of the new Ministry ; we have
'had ampl6 specimens
.ot their delicacy, by their hav-
ing agreed, on the subject of Catholic Emancipation,
,not to.diskirb me King's conscience. .Lite l.0:).1-
bdity 91 their aoin Corning into power, is one
strong reason why we ought not to abandon our
Petition.
Mr. O'CoNNer.t..—lt is a most tortunatecircum-
st,nce for tlic C.sthoiics, that the late Aggregte •
Meeting pre, dO, in, point of time, !hat tnniturtone
which we (the Catholics) deplore as serritily as any,
other of his Majesty's subjccts-1, mean our grace,
ous Sovereign's illness. Our must invelei ate enemies
cannot say, that, by our resolution to petition, we
meant ally disrespect eithtrito our King or to his
successor.

The CHAIRMAN then read the or.ginal resolution;
which being put in the usual form, Mr. Byrne %:7.‘
left in ..a minority of two—namely', the Gentletmn
who seconded the motion and himself.

THE THEATRES.--,The new Historical, Opera of
Gustavus Vasa, which, a.; we have before milked,
is brought forwardv.:>ry magnificent style at
Covent Garden Theatre, was repe.lted there last
night, before a very numerous audience, and very
well received. The farce of 41i At, iroild's a St'('
lollowed, and int) oduced Miss BOOTH in the part -of
Kitty Sprightly, Which she supported with genuine
humour and spirit. During the jovial scene at the
table, BLANCHARD, instead of the customary toast,
ga‘e " The Kitty, and better health to hiM." It is
impossible to describe the loyal enthu&asm which
broke forth on this occrsion, and which continued
•for several minutes with unabited zeal. It is a
,double gratification to find that so excellent a Mo-
narch excites the sympathy and receives the.hornage
due to hiin, and that .his suhjeCts are so sensible, of
his virtues, and,-so cordi..lly prompt to avow their
attachment. .

TtiE • LYCEUM.—The play of Deaf and Durn'
was,last night tevived at this Theatre. • The Dade_.
wont of Wtrounti-ros was originally an • admirahle
specimen of acting, and it lost none ofits merit last
night. The part of Julio was performed for the
first time by MN. EDWIN, WllO suppoit,.•(.l if by
cry expre%sive, thong!), at t!ntes, rather toot labo-
rate ges.iurr. The - rest of file characters were bUi),
putted in such a manner as to give strong interest
to the piece. The new three of Transformation 3or
Lore and:Law, contiri,:es to detain the .audience iill
the. d!opping of the currant, as may be expeeted
from the whimsical !mate of the. piece itself, the.
evraordinary versatility of 'MATHEWS, and Ccirsi-
DELL'S.very pleasing music.

A dreadful fire broke out yesterday morning at 3
O'clock, in the premises of Mr. \Vrede,
chandler,- Nightingale-lane, East Smithfield,. wi ich
entirely consumed The same, and dainaged the wo
houses adjoining. Several fire-engines swift arrived
at the sput, but owing to the want of Water, they
could not play for some time; but sou atter they
were supplied, and the firemen exertt.-1 themsdlves
as usual. Property 'to a very considerable a.nount
Was lost.
