reason to think that the Right Hon. Gentleman's

The .CHANcetd.ott of the Excitt,,tattEtt, after
some introductory observa2ions, which cotthi not
be distinctly heard, sid, that ,the Bank, had vir-
tually paid a great :number of their small notes in
cash, and it was not known that There had been
anrinconvenienee through a want of Currency.—
WhetherAe hmotint of notes which the Bank
had tuldertaken to pay was more or less thin what
11;1,1 been stated, was an object not worth -00nsi-
-deration. lint the restimplion of cash payments
iu another year was as much a matter of certainty
as any• contingency could be S. and be could not
foresee any event but one, which was extremely
that'would prevent such an occurrence.
-This was, an.extretnely bad hafvest in the present-
yeart,which. it was thought was hardly possitAe.
he present motion of the tionotuable Gentle-
man was one fOr which he had laid no grotnids,
and he should therefore meet it with,theprevii.lns
question.:

Mr. BANKES expressed himself agreeably disap-
pointed at heating that the public were so near
having their expectations realized by the pay-
ments of the Bank in cashi.and he thought the
Bank entitled to great commendation, for placing
the country again into that wholesome state of
currency of which it had so long been depiived.
He must take this opportunity of observing, that
the Finance 'Committee. had found it would not he
passible for them to go into the inquiry of a con-
nection be, „Teen the andßai
debtthe ciotcyit,
the management of the publicl would

neral ELLIOT, Lord HEATHFIELD, on the Spot
which he so gallantly and successfully defended, such Officers
and other Gentlemen who participated in his Glories, or ad-

to send their Subscriptions to Messrs. Thomas Cuutts and Co.
Bankers, in the strand.
It is unnecessary to say more in support of this testimony of
respect to the memory of Lord HEA-IHFIELD, than to ex-
press some surprise, that in a period reidete ,vith gallant and
great Actions, ant nut wanting iii „fateful admiration of

STEAM PACKETS.

Mr. HARVEY, on presenting the Report of the
Committee on this subject, stated, that it was
their opinion that there ought to be the same
regulations to ensure the safety of the vessel as
on board ships of wear; that the safety-valve ought
to be under particular replations ; and that no
boat of this kind should be legal till examined by
❑n engineer, to see that the boilers, &c. he made
of wrought instead of cast metal. lie coneltukd
by moving for leave to bring in a Bill for:the better
regulation of Steam Packets.—Leave was given,
and the Bill brought up and rt;ad a first time.
Mr. ABERCRoMEY, on moving for leave to pre-
sent a Petition 'froth t person named Richard
Eller, imprisoned under an Extent in Aid, ob-
served, that a Copy of the Petition had been sent
to the ChancAor of the Exchequer, which ap-
peared tohave been lost, and be had been unable
to obtain any answer about it. He had to corn-
plain of the conduct of the Solicitor of the Crown,
who had made a proposition to the Prisoner, a
bankrupt, that if he would induce his assignees
to forego their claims, he should be released, and
not else. This language he considered to he
highly iniroper to hold on such an occasion, anal
lie wished to call to it the attention of sonic Gen-
tleman of the Treasury.
Mr. LUSHINGTON assured the Hon. Gentleman
he had never heard of the subject before, but be
would make inquiry about it.
The Petition was then read, and ordered to lie
on the table.

THE i riNA ru E.

DRUR'Ir-LANE.—Mr. K RAN, 'on Sattirclay, ap-
peat ed in the character of Sit' Giles Oderreach, one
of the most popular plays of one a our most vi-
gorous and powerful 01,i Dramatists. In this cha-
racter Mr. KRAN had acquired.nearly as much po-
pularity as in any other, lint whether fame has
rendered him somewhat negligent, or whether he
now endeavours to 'r he belier than well," accord-
ing to the old saying, it is certain that he:did not
play with his usual effect on this occasion. rer-
haps, indeed, his manner being now familiar to
the audience may pall in its operation. It was
evident, however, that his peculiarities seemed to
be 'stretched beyond their usual limits. His pauses
were much longer than common, and his pronuncia-
tion' of words drawn to an unpleasant extent,
more particularly in the word honourable, which was
rendered much longer than any other in the dic-
tionary. He might, therefore, he said to border
on the expression of feelings on the part of the
audience very different from what he has been ac-
customed.to receive. But the audience have them-
selves chiefly to blame, for the enthusiasm of their
applause. of the very manner which they now seem
to condemn, doubtless contributed to render it ex-
cessive. The general outline of the part, how-
ever, was well conceived, and there were many
of those flashes which must always prove im-
pressive, and these were as well received as
heretofore. The part of Wellborn was assigned
to StAIILEY, instead of HARLEY, but we saw
no reason to rejoice in the change. MUNDEN'S
Moran was very good, but was somewhat too
elaborate, and consequently tended to excite
weariness and langour. The Play, altogether,
was well supported.

RUSSIA.

The following is an Extract of a Letter from
the Agent• to LLOYD'S at Revel, dated the f !di
ult. and received in London this morning. The
announcement is undoubtedly of considerable mo-
ment in itself, and a high hriportance is attached
to it in the City, in consequence of its appearing,
by the subjoined paragraph, ht all the Morning
Papers, that a Cabinet Council, which sat for
some time, was held on Saturday at the Foreign
(Mice, aurora' ()tied by Lord CASTLEREAGH, in con-
sequence of- the receipt of dispatches from Lord
Carticxa-r, our Ambassador at St. Petersburg!).
The Extract Is as follows :
u Orders have been received for the Russian
fleet at this port; consisthig of c sail of the

line and some frigates, to be got ready for sea

immediately."

The following is the paragraph above alluded

to :--

" On Saturday, at two o'clock, aCabinet Council
was held at the Foreign Office, which was attend-
ed by the Earl of LIVEStrOOL, the CHANCELLOR
of the EXCHEQUER, Lords SIDMOUTH, CASTLE-
REAGI4, and BATHURST, and Mr. CANNING. The
Council Was summoned by Lord CASTLEREAGH,
and it was supposed to be for the purpose of
taking into consideration the dispatches brought
by Mr. MATERS, the King's Messenger, from
Lord CATHCART, our Ambassador at St. Peters-
burgh. The Council did not break up till past
four."

COVIINTGA nAhN.—The tragedy of flirmlet lest
night graced the opening of this Theatre. '1
Melancholy hero of the piece was sustained with
the issuel good sense,/ ft eline, and dignity of 'Air.

sewed as heretofore, and require no comment,
except, indeed, the appearance of Mr. BONNELL

A l a scho-
lir. t new candidate for theatrical laurels
is, besides, the son of a very respectable phyti-
clan of the day, and on that account may claim
title notice on the present occasion. Mr. BONNELL
TUORNTON is a finalooking young man. HiS
stature is above the middle site, and his face is
expressive. His voice is strong and-rattier creep ;
his action was easy and unaffected. The part of
Horatio admits too little scope fur an actor to dis-
play much ithilitye'ind it he atinits himself With
decent mediocrity it is as much as Candour would
expect. Such Was the case with Mr. ThoeseoN,
and therefore we shail wait for a fuller develope-
went of his powers, just observing that they were
evidently under the restraint of those feelings
which moat 11;11111-illy have attended the novelty
of his situation. The effect of the new mode of
illuminating the Theatte wens in the highest degree
snccesirul. The 'audienee, 011-otighotit tt a lionsep
could distinctly see cads other, as well as all that
passed upon the stage. The Theatre was crowded,
and the performances were well received. The
eftetpiece Was The Miller ettd his Men. The per-
formers in general experienced a gratifying re-
(enact).

ENGLISH UPERA.-...Another of the ligbteriruits
of the Summer season was brought for last.
night at this Theatre, under the title of Disgvises.
It is ascribed to Mr. BEAZLEY, the Architect of
the Theatre, who has written several whimsical
productions of the same kind. The fable turns
upon the eagerness of a Widow-to gain a new
Husband, and a silly old Man who pretends to
gallantry. The whole concludes with the mar,
riages of lovers properly suited to each other.—
The 'Piece was well supported by the Performers,
particularly WRENCII, CHATtgRLEY, and Miss
KELLY, and -was favourably received by the an.
dience. This Theatre was also illuminated last
night by additiOnal Gas lights, much to the ad-
vantage of the audience and the stage.

We are glad to find that the Managers of the
Winter Theatres have resolved to abolish the ont-
rageoui Panegyrics at the bintom of their play-
bills, so often applied to new Performers and
Per)Ormances, which were generally read with
disgust, and in furore to leave the merits of
Actors and drimatic Works to the judgment of
the Public.

ing last he Was at work at the Hand and Marygold,
Bermondsey-street ; the deceased, and a man
named Clark,. were with hint emptying a privy.
The privy .being very deep, they wanted a longer
pole than, that which they had to sink the bliket.
He agreed with the deceased to look about- the
premises, to endeavour to find a pole. lie ac-
companied the deceased into 'Mr. Eleanor's rope
ground, trhich adjoins the 'yard where they were.
at work, and which they were frequently in the
habit of walking in ;, they found a pole, and lie
assisted the deceased to-lift it over the rails ; he
then got over.the rails himself,- and•the deceased
told hiM to go on, and he would follow him in a.
minute with the rail. He had not left the de-,
ceased more than three minwes, having only
walked to the prig, which is about an hundred
yards from-the rope-ground, when he heard a
pistol fired. In a few minutes after, l'e'er Har-
vey, the night• patrole, carne to him and said,
" I 'tin afraid I have shot one of your men on the

William, no one called to me before I was shot ;
I assure you, my dear fellow, the and man •has
filled me ; I don't believe I shall live till the
morning," He again asked him if he was sure that
the man had not called to him before he shot him.
He was satisfied'ilie deceased thought himself at
the tine iii a dying state. , .

that llarvey,the,patVole, happened to come to him

" Inhabitants of Fernandina—For days past you
have witnessed the scandalous transactions of a
faction, composed of men, who, exi=ting and to-
lerated on this Island by our generosity, have

solely been enga.gctl in subverting social tnder.—
They are tutrcenaries, traitors, or cowards, wko
ithaudoned the canq of Republicanism in the bout

of danger, and who, either kind by our enemies,
(hr misled by the intrigues of a few aspiring indi-
vidwils, have attempted to involve us in all the
c',mplicated horrors of a civil war. Citizens, we are
Republicans from principles, our fortunes have
been spent, and our lives oft exposzd for this most
glorious cause. We have come here to plant the tree
of liberty, to foster free institutions, and to wage
war again,t the tyrant of Spain, the oppressor of
America, and enemy to the rights Of man. We
are ever ready to pay obedience to the principles
of Republicanktn, but firmly determined never to
adhere to the dictates of a faction.
" NVben the heat of passions shall be no more,
when public peace and tranquillity are restored,
we shall see with a lively pleasure the establish-
ment of a Provisional Government most suitable
'to our common interest, and to the advancement
of our glorious cause.
" Americans, Englishmen, Irishmen, and
Frenchmen, men of all nations : we are freemen ;
let us for ever be united by the love_of liberty and
hatred to tyranny.
Soldiers ,and Sailors, Martial Law is declared
to be in force for ten days. Let us give to' our
• brethren of the State of the Floridas, proofs of
our military discipline, and of our respect for the
prop( riy of the inhabitants.

Grenada, which last place has not materially suf-

of the Americans into the Canadas. The sublets
requires the not serious attention, and perh'}
never more so than at the present moment, wiie°

with the utmost diligence, the leisure afforded 11
peace to provide for the vigorous prosecution °

navy, and recently commencing two militant
roads on the borders of Lower Canada, on whicl'
they propose giving great encouragement to se'
tiers, to facilitate the keeping them in repail'
The dismantling of their navy is an argumen:JTie

are well aware that they can with the greatest

THE IRISHMAN'S BLUNDER.

To the land of potatoes a visitunte making,
One Mister O'Donoghoe bege:ed I'd be taking
At Dublin a dinner with him";
" By St,,Patrick," he said, " and I'll show your two eves,
A sight that shall strike you quite dumb with surprise," ,
So I thought I would humour his whim. •
I •no sooner arrived than we sat down to dine,
And dinner ()nee over we pushed round the wine,

And my friend, who by no means of hummer was barren,
Turn'd the talk-to thebeantiful Blacking of WARREN,
Mid the4ichr tlia? black would
" But a propos,". he said, " to my chaluber
I'll show you some pictures in loveliness blooming,
With WARcEN's Jet Blarkz7-.lg I drew' them ;
But these pictures are magical, fur you 1110 S, know
The moment you s.ce-them my visage they'll show;
But vanish when you cease to view them." '.
When I got to his chamber no piCtures I found, -
But the wainscot was covered with Boots that hung round,

-And reflected -my face as they shone ; - •
Then O'Dotioghor 'started and suddenly cried,
No face but my own in these Boots have I spied;
But now there is mine and-your own.
Thr mystery Was solved, 'twas the Boots were so ,bright,
They reflected our fares, and I with delight,
Th' ,effect saw of WAartgres,let Biacking;
And when I got hOme to my lodgings. I wrote
