(From the Times.)
As smile discussion has lately arisen on the amount of the unredatthed funded Debt of Great nrititin, and as each
~,..
o.
party, twit appears tO, us, has fallen into some inaccurtoitS,' we have taken the pains to examine the mat account,
which was ordered to be printed by-
Parliament in Vebruury, 1826 : that neither the funded debt is, as . one party calls
it, so much as 893,783,2821. ; nor so'lQlNOKVOttling to the other statement, its 791/511,75a; but that the amount is
between the two, much nearer, •
howev.e4 to the higher than to the lower estimate. We subjoin the official account ;
but shall first present an extract, showing the amount in the q year 1819, and in the year 1826, by which he that nine

ASTLEY'S THEATRE.
Ott the application of Mr. Barnwell, the license for
Ast ley's Theatre was granted without opposition. It was
made . out in the name of the Widow Astley, three ladies
named. Gill, and Wheal. Duerow and West.

Mr. DArtnoß hoped• he might be allowed to correct a
mistake which the lion. Member (Mr. Jackson) had made,
relative to the " City of the Plague." There was not
one word of the " Episode" alluded to by Mr. Jackson
in that production : it was ihtrochiced into some other piece.
The Licence was then granted in the usual form.

• VAUXHALL "GARDENS.
Mr. THESSIGER said, he had to' apply to the Court for
a renewal of the Licence' for Vauxhall Gardens' in the
name of MesarMessrs.Gye and Hughes. In making this mo-
tion, he wished to say a few words, relative to what had
taken place since last year. Some complaints were then
made about the dark walls, and the evil, was immediately
remedied by the
,addition of a number of lentils. It was
objected that there was not. a sufficient UllMber of con-
stables, upon which an tulditional• number had been added,
so that there were near one hundred peace officers ready
at a call, and no injury bad been complained of, or a well-
founded complaint made in any 'part of the establishment
or its vicinity, .over which the Proprietors had command
or control. He understood, however, that a Memorial
had been yesterday presented fro n several persons resid-
ing near the Gardens, containing various complaints.
Licence granted with restrictions.

SURREY THEATRE.
The Simony Theatre was licensed without oppoSition, in
the '1141141 of Jetties bnnn.

COBURG THI A.Tftr..
Mr:l'utsgtoßlt moved for a renewal of the license of
the -Colniro Theatre, the natit of Messrs. .1. Joiw3i,
• ,V. Glossop; I lolloway, and On the
question being put that the license be granted,
Mr. IL Stamm said, that have the licence was granted
• be felt it necessary to say a few words as to what took
place with respect to the Coburg theatre two years ago.—
, In 1823 or 1824., it most horrid murder had been com-
•• reknit' in Hertfordshire, and immediately after a repre-
sentation of that dreadful transaction took place at the
(Coburg, contrary to the feelings of every well-thinking'
character in society. There was shortly after this a repre-
sentation at the same Theatre, entitled " A History of
George the Third and his Niftily." Iloth these matters
were stated tv the Court at thenext lieeneing day, in the
presence of the parties, and the result was, that the Court
required that no such representations as that of the Murder
ire Hertfordshire should in future take plate ; which was
readily promised.... As to the4eeond, it wits required by
the Court, and pledge given by the parties, that there
should not. henceforth be any dramatic representations
of living characters of eminence, or of persons so recently
dead that they lived in the recollections of those who
remained behind them ; and that, least of all, should there
be any such men as our good deceased Monarch, under
the bieSSings of whose reii,,.sn such general advantages had
• been* enjoyed. A placard wits put in circulation, an-
nouncing for representation a piece, called " The City of
the Plague." He obtained possession of one of those pla-
cards, and kept it until about a fortnight since, When it un-
fortunately escaped froM his hands, and he had not since
Seen it. He, however, recollected that the piece was en-
. titled " The City of tl;e. Plague," and into that piece was
to be introduced one of the most afflictin calamities that
could befal n; nation--he Meant a description of that dread
fill malady *der which Our late King had laboured for ten
Or eleven years. lie did not rise to oppose granting the
lieense, but he. felt it iMpossible to allow it to be granted
Without mentioning the circumstance to the Catni—
(Bear, hear l)---and unless the proprietors or lessees and
Managers would pledge themselves sgafioit the repetition
of such perforMances, he should take the opinion of the
Court against granting the license. The Court would,
Of course, hear what the parties had to say on the subject.
Mr. DAViDGE said, that the pledge alluded to had been
given, and, he trusted, honourably kept, by the Lessees:
`and Managers of the Coburg.
Mr. IL SVAINER.Saiti, he would ask Mr. Liwion who-
Vier he did not agree with him us to the impression which"
the' placard was calculated to make ? negociation
after Wards took place, and the piece was altered from the

LAVV-iNiialidik E.

Mr. DAvinolu pledged hia word of honour, that no rate-
ation bad been made either in the manuscript copy of the
piece or the placard, from the period of their having been
submitted to Mr. Lamotott.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Ocr. 18.

DELCNYN. V. NVKICS AND MENUS.

This was an action On a covenant, brought by Belcher,
a merchant, against the executors of Mir. Brinier, the-hro.
ther and executor of Mr. James Brimer, who had formerly
'been a merchant in partnership with the plaintiff. It ap-;
neared, that Mr. Brimer was an eminent merchant residing
in London; Mr. Belcher resided at Halifax, and they were
many years partners in undertaking Government contracts.
These contracts were entered into In the name of Brimer,
from the circumstance of his residing in London, and the
Victualling Board being unwilling to enter into contracts
with a person living at so great, a distance. Mr. Belcher
was, however, a bona Ale partner in these contracts. He,
after some time, came to this country,: and on his coming
to it, the contracts that were entered into were properly
stated. to be formed with Brimer and Belcher. In 1814,
however, owing to some disagreement, a dissolution of
partnership took place, and by the deed of dissolution, Bel-
cher purchased Brimer's interest in the contracts in which
they were engaged, and' for the consideration of 50,0004
undertook to defray all the expeneas, and to be entitled to
all the profits resulting from the partnership.
The COMMON SIM:RANT, on the deed of dissolution
being offered in evidence, objected: to its production, as it
was a deed agreeing and promising to pay 60,000/.4ind
wag on a stamp of only 1!. llls. ; whereas, by the 48th of
Geo. 111. e. 48, it should have been on a, stamp of'lsoo/.
ad valorem . . • • .

The SOLICITOR-OEN?ItAI. admitted the objection to be
fa nd, and the plaintiff was nonsuited.

This was an action of trover brought by the plaintiff, a
banker, in Grantham, to recover the halves of India Bonds
alleged to be in the possession of Mr. Alex. Smith, a silk.
mercer. The bonds were to the amount of 10,300/.

Mr. SCARLYMT stated the plaintiff's case.—The facts
were few and simple. Messrs. Newcombe and Hardy,
bankers at Grantham, had directed Mr. Watts, a broker in
London, to purchase India Bonds for them to the amount of
5,000/. This purchase was made in August, 1823 ; mean-
while Mr. N. died, and the second purchase was directed to
be made for. Mr. Hardy, on the 18th July, 1825. The prac-
tice that was observed respecting these bonds *was this
—the bonds were cut in two, one set of the halves was
transmitted to Mr. Hardy, and the other halves:retained
by Mr. Watts; and when the dividends became due, the
halves in the possession of Mr. Hardy were transmitted to
town, Where they were joined together, and taken to the
Italia House for payment. At a certain period, Weill'
failed, and tit the time of his failure Mr. Hardy found,
upon inquiry, that Mr. Smith was in possession of the
other halves of the bonds., It appealed that Mr. Smith

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVEVING, OCTOBER 19, 1826.

We received last night the Paris Papers of Monday
and the Etoile dated Tuesday morning. They exhibit
a great dearth of political news. The only article of
this character is giien uncle; the head of Presburgl4
3d inst., which purports to be a report of the pro-
ceedings of the Hungarian Diet, the ostensible object
of which was to congratulate the EMPEROR on his
birth-day, but which probably related in a greater
degree to their own grievances. The arrival of his
Royal Highness the Archduke PALATINE from
Vienna, to preside at this and some previous meetings,
and .hiS immediate return to Vienna, show that some
further impOrtant subjects had occupied the Diet since
the sittings, of which we before gave the proceedings.
The Moniteur contains a Royal Ordinance, rep-
lating the currency of Martinique and Guadeloupe,
with the view of placing it upon a fixed basis, -con-
formable to that of the monetary system of the Mother
Country. All computations in these Colonies are to
be in francs, and the Oidioanee directs not only that
it Hball be obligatory that all computations in colonial
Money shall Cease, but that the five franc piece, and its
subdivisions, shall be received in payments at their
nominal value. The difficulties which our QWII Go-
vernment have experienced in regulating the currency of
our West India and other Colonies by a system better
digested than that which the French Government have
promulgated, lead us to predict that the regulations
of this ordinance will not remain in actual operation
for any length of time in Martinique and its depen-
dencies.

The young Duke of BoURDICAUK VMS introduced
on Sunday, after Mass, to the Cabinet Council, and
confided by the KING to the Duke de RiviERE and
the Bishop of STRASBURG/I ; his MAJESTY felt
much emotion on the occasion, and created the Vis.
countess de GOUTANT a Duchess, in proof of his
Royal approbation of her care of this " Child of Pro-
vidence," as he styled him, during the years of his ten-
der infancy.

Contrary to former' accounts, we are now informed
that M. TALMA'S state of health has been pronounced

faculty, as by no means dehperat& The following are

, Yesterday, Oct. 15, after mass, her Royal Highness
Madame the Duchess of Berry introduced the Duke of
Bordeaux to the Cabinet Council. Ilis'Majesty has put
him into the hands of the Duke de Riviera, his governor,
and expressed to him, as well as to the Bishop of Stras-
burgh, all the confidence which he placed in their devoted-
ness, zeal, and wisdom. The King has likewise manifest-
ed his perfect satisfaction to the Viscountess de Goutant,
for the care she had taken of him up to the present time,
by creating her a Duchess.
,
On delivering this precious deposit •to the Duke od e
Riviere., his Majesty pronounced, With great emotion, the

There has been a consultation of physicians, attended

is by no means desperate. The eirects,of Galvanistn have
proved rather satisfactory.
