GREEK PIRATES.

The King's Advocate moved the court for head-money, for the
capture of two piratical vessels, which took place off the island of
ipsara, in April last. It appeared that his Majesty's sloop, Ala-
crity, commanded by Captain Johnson, was directed to capture
some piratical vessels, and the better to effect that object, was
disguised as a merchantman. Two Greek pirates observing the
Alacrity, gave chase, and did not discover that she was armed
until they came close, when they deserted the vessels and escaped
on shore, to Ipsara, from which they kept up a fire on the Ala-
crity until some boats were manned and sent on shore, when the
pirates fled to the hills, and all but three escaped. From their
evidence it appeared that the piratical vessels contained about
thirty-five men in each.—Motion granted.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Wisrmmsr.ea, Nov. 6.
THE KING V. CUNNINGHAM AND TWO OTHERS.
This was a rule Nisi for a criminal information obtained
last torn against the proprietor, printer, and publisher of
the newspaper called the English Gentleman, for a libel on
Mr. Rothschild, contained in a paragraph imputing that
11r. Rothschild, in order to ruin the banking firm of Lloyd
and Co.,.had, during the late pecuniary panic, paid a large
sum of money into their hands, and suddenly called for it
in hopes that they would be unable to honour his draft;.
and adding, " It is not true that Mr. Rothschild has cut
his throat"
Since the above-mentioned rule had been granted, a ne-
goeiation had been opened between the defendants and
the prosecutor's attorney, and it was agreed, that if the de-
fendants gave up the author of the libel, the rule should
not be made absolute against two of the defendants. The
defendants had, accordingly, given up a Mr. Washborough
as the author; and now
Mr. SciutErr, being so instructed, consented that the
rule should be discharged, as it respected two of the de-
fendants, but moved that it should be made absolute against
the defendant Cunningham.
'Mr. BRou;IIAM appeared, for. the other two defendants,
and prayed that the rule might be discharged with coots,
inasmuch as the author had been given up; but—
The
COURT said, in such a case, they should grant no
Costs.

This amusing little Theatre, so great a favourite, under
the management of ElListon, opened for the first time last
night, with a Burletta, a Divertisement ; and a highly
spirited Farce, all of which were received with merited ap-
plause. Mr. Scott, th© new manager, has made numerous
important improvements in the house, both before and be-
hind the curtain, which aided by the attractions of a very ex-
cellent and versatile company, will, we have no doubt, Mann:
him a successful season. An address—piquant and appro-
priate—Was delivered by. Mr. Hemings, at the rising of
the,curtain and was favourably received by a full and re-
spectable house.

IRISH MANUFACTUR,E COMPANY.

A Meeting of the Proprietors of tile Company
took place at the City of London Tavern, on tarmuttay, tt.
SPRI No RICE, Esq. M.P., in the Chair, for the purpose of re.
ceiving from the, Directors a full Report of their proceedings,
and u Statewnt of the Company's accounts.
The Report stated the advantages most likely yn be derived
by Ireland, in the employment of capital, by carrying on earl-
pus species of manufacture in that country, in furtherance of
Which otiirct a Conunittec hail been formed in January, 1025,

carry on trade therein ; providing for the purchase and re-
sale of land ; restraining the. Company from exercising any
of the powers until four-fifths of the capital should have been
subscribed for. The Report went on to state, that in conse-
quence of the fluctuations in. the money market, the Company
had been somewhat impisled in their progress In the dispo-
sal of remaining shares, anti at this juncture it was projected-
to reduce the capital below the sum named in the Act. A legal
?pinion was taken, by which it appeared that to effect this ob-
ject a fresh application to Parliament would be requisite.. It
,was not deemed advisable to bring the Shareholders together
until subsequent to the meeting of Parliament, and the interval
Was employed in making enquiriearespectingthe best and most

each Proprietor should double his nominal stake, by which
means the subsciption would at once be filled up to the requir.
ed two millions: or, secondly, that the Propretors should au.

Deer to be turned out at the Magpies Inn, I lounslow Heath ; but
the denseness of the fog in the morning was such that it was de-
ferred turning out the Stag to the following morning ; numbers
of sportsmen who were assembled at that spot were in conse-
quence disappointed. The Deer and the Hods were kept all

confessed the murder, and has been sent home to

ECCLESIASTICAL PUNISIIMENT.—Yesterday,

THE THEATRE.

COVENT•GARDEN.--The' Play about whic
there has been much said of late respecting the
difficulties of getting it licensed, was produced
on Saturday night at this' house, under the title
of The French Libertine.. It is described as a
drama in five acts, and it is well that the author
has given it the generic name—for it cannot be
classed among any of the admitted varieties of
stage productions. The greater part of it ap:
roaches nearer to comedy than any thing else,
and the rest is melodramatic.
The Hero of the Piece, it is well known, is the famous Duke
of Richelieu, although his tide is changed to Rougemont and
the developement of his licentious character, as connected
with a simple anecdote, forms the whole business of the play.
He has violently seduced the wife of a citizen, and still pur.
sues her in her husband's house, under the assumed charaCter
of one of his own class. In this intrigue he is continually in-
' terrupted by the Countess de Fleury (Mrs. CUATTERLEV),
who is in love with him. In the end the victim of his liber-
tinism dies broken-hearted in his presence, and denounces him
in his real name to her husband. Ile is struck with horror at
the consequence of his crime, and in his distraction and pea-
tence we have the moral.
The author is entitled to much praise, for hav-
ing exhibited an odious character so as not to
outrage the feelings of an audience, and he has
certainly gone as close to the wind as pessible.
The dialogue has occasionly some pretty, pas.
sages, but it is not dramatic. But Mr. KEMBLE'S
representation of the chief character was admi-
rable, and must have carried a piece of less merit
through,. Mrs. SIGOMAM, who acted the citizen's
wife, gamed much applause ; her grief, however,
was too monotonous ; it always seemed wound to
the highest pitch, and the mind had nothing else
to rest upon throughout her performance, Mrs.
Gtiovutt's talents made a great deal of an attend-
ant upon the Lady. Coo PER played the husband
j with feeling and propriety ; and WARTA and
POW Elt had characters which did not allow them
to use their best talent. The dressing and deco.
ration of the Play are splendid bey9ud example,
and it was altogether well received.

TAVERN REMINISCENCES.

THE CROWN AND ANCHOR.—TiIt, association
of the navy with the crown is natural; Among the
-public characters who have occasionally a held forth''
here, none are more distinguished than Sir Francis
Burdett. The following epigram was written On
the duel which the baronet fought with a person
named Paul, and on his being supposed to have pen-
sioned the demagogue, Peter F— !
" Knights of the post of old strove all
By robbing Peter to pay Paul
Sir Francis Burdett nicks it neater,
He pistols Paul, and pensions Peter."

THE GREEN MAN AND STILT..-,-,Mr. Jekyll
meeting his friend Lord Erskine, said, " May I con
gratulate you, my lord, on having the green ribbon !"
Yes," replied his lordship, " yet lam the same man
still." " Then," rejoined the barrister, "it will be an
evident sign of your deserts, and therefore you must he
the Green Man and Still."
THE KINO'S Anms.----Tlie same remarks may
apply to this as to the King's Head.
King John holding dalliance with a damsel at
a court-ball, one of the courtiers wishing to retire
to some tavern for refreshment, inquired of an-
other what house he would recommend ; who wittily
replied, " that lie had better not go to the King's
Arms, as they were full, but that the King's Head
empty !"

ment will hold in general in every cue; but suppose a
ease of most extraordinary necessity, when the civil magis-
trate is really overpowered, and there is fire set to the town,
shall not the troops then be called in to his assistance? I think I
put the objection as strong as I ean. That fatal argument of con-
tending for an exception to constitutional principles,, that fatal ar-
gument has brought us many times to the brink of destruction.—
Nothing is clearer than that no freeman should be imprisoned but
according to law. What, not if the King knows he is coming to
attack him ? The argument was specious, and the power of judg-
ing was.trusted somewhere, and it took away the whole liberty of
the subject. Every man was imprisoned for a mandatum Do-
mini Regis. There was another resolution taken, that no money
should be levied on the-subject but by the consent of Parliament ?
What, not in a case of necessity ? They argued it might be a case
of necessity, and that overturned the whole rule, - and, when money
was raised, •it was for necessity. Suppose there comes an extra-
ordinary ease, never within the intention of the Legislature, that
produced the dispensing power, which dispensed with all the power
of legislature. It must tend to lodge a discretionary power with some-
body to judge of that necessity. It must be lodged with the Military
officers, for it will not mend the case if it is lodged with the
returning officers. Shall it be laid down, that troops may go to
an election ? These are fatal arguments' indeed ! How far it is
necessity to justify? It is sufficient, that the officer suspects or
smith a riot? -It is sufficient when he hnows in his own mind,
he is going to do a thing which he ought to provoke the people.
If en, ' that will conclude a too general discretionary latitude,
wherever the returning officer thinks fit to have it ; and I believe
it will not much be doubted but the military officer will exert
himself, according to the candidates that sent for him.
" Sir, the Legislature in the Act I have just mentioned, was so
far from supposing this exception could be made, that they ex-
pressly enjoined no troops should come within two miles of the
place of election in a day after. Will a case of necessity dispense
with that Act? The Act says, they shall not come within two
miles of the town, tillfimr and twenty hours after the election !"

BANK NOTES.

The Marquis of LANSDOWN rose to introduce the Bill
of which he had given notice before the late adjournment, and
which he supposed their Lordships would, according to the usual
courtesey of the house, allow to be now read a first time. The
objector the Bill was to make 1.11 notes payable at places diffe-
rent from that in which they were issued, also payable where
issued. It was not his wish at that time to trouble their Lord-
shipi by calling their attention to the provisions of the Dill
until after it should be printed. He saw no reason why it
might not be in their Lordships' hands in the course of a day
or two, and should therefore with to move the second reading
on Friday next.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE asked whether the Noble
Marquis meant that the Bill should extend to Scotland ?
The Marquis of LANSDOWN certainly intended that
Scotland should be included in the operation of the Bill.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE would then have occasion to
state to their Lordships very material reasons why this. Bill
should not be so extended. He begged the Noble Marquis to
recollect, that at this moment there was a Committee sitting to
inquire Into the banking system of Scotland. Now if that was
the case, he should think it would be more becoming in the
Noble Marquis to defer proceeding with this Bill until after that
Committee had me to its eepay.t:
The Marquis of LANSDOWN observed, that the object
of the Committee was to inquire into the effects of the circula-
tion of small notes in Scotland and Ireland ; but whatever might
be the result of that inquiry—whether the report should be in
favour of, or against the continuance of small notes in Scot-
land,--it would in no degree affect his opinion. If the result
should be the discontinuance of small notes, then the present
bill would have no effect as to them. If it should be thought
advisable to continue them, then the bill would be necessary.
Thus his opinion could not be altered by any part which the
legislature might be induced to take, and he therefore consider-
ed-it his duty to proceed with the bill.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE said he was prepared to sub-
mit to the Committee, that if the measure proposed by the
Noble Marquis were adopted, it would destroy 30 or 40 esta-
blishments in Scotland. He spoke in hearing of his Noble
Friend, who knevi that banking could not be carried on in
Scotland if the branch banks were to be suppressed, as they
must be if this bill passed. He thought that the Noble Mar-
quis ought to delay the second reading of the bill until the evi-
dence to which he had alluded was brought before the Com-
mittee, and for the production of which he would be answerable.
The Marquis of LA NSDOWN could see no reason for post.
poning the second reading beyond Friday. In passing the Bill
through that stage, the House would only agree to the prin-
ciple, and the Noble Earl would have an opportunity in the
Committee of moving the rejection of the clause which extend-
ed the Bill to Scotland.
The Bill was read a first time.—Adjourned.
