ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.--Mr. MATnEws dis
played his comic andversatile powers last night
at this Theatre, in a new collection of whiMsical
characters and incidents; His transfirtnations
were so rapid and complete, that i,t Was. difficult
to- suppose he was one and the same person. He •
first appeared before the: audience descending in '
the car of a balloon. Ile commenced with a short
address to the. Public,. and then recited his ad-
ventures. in his aerial expeditiunand those which
occurred in a Margate 'Steam-vessel. The whole,
was enlivened with some songs, tales, and per-
sonations, that rendered it so agreeable a trus-.
Cellany as to keep a numerous audience al.rno3t in_
incessant laughter, and to increase public admi--
ration of the facetious versatility of his -extraoi-
&nary talents.
MISS DANCE.—This Lady, whose musical
l s,
and amiable ,manners, are known among-
the higher circles, is about to venture on, the
Stage. WO hope that she will be as much ad-
seolit,
n general accomplishments, attractive per-
son,
by. the Palk as she is esteemed, ky... her
:numerous friends, friends, in private life.
THE LATE MR, DIALRYMPLE.—Mr. ROBERT
DALRYMME, whose melancholy death we have,
mentioned, was the only son of LE7
a gentleman who :distinguished himself, in tile:
natal service. Alan early age, young ,DALAY,IPLE
showed considerable powers of mind ; he was
placed by his father with an eminent con‘'ev-
an cer,uuder whom he made considerable improve-
ment in that branch of the profession : at the
age of twenty he married his first cousin,. Miss
BROWNING, the grand-daughter of a Gentleman
of property, residing near Epsom, in Surrey ; to
this Lady he was most a&ctionately attached; but
before they had been married 12 months she died of
a decline. His grief for the loss of this young lad v is
lat to be described,and there is little doubt but that.
his excessive melancholy for her loss (although
after the lapse of more than twenty years) was
the cause of his lamentable death. - He has often
been observed to ga2e on her picture for ilonrs
together,. and at last has been heard to exclaim,
" 0 God what a loss I've had !" He always wore
her miniature in his boson), and in his will he Qv'
dered, that whenever he died, his body should
be opened, and that the miniature. Of big' will'
should be tied round his heart, which leas been
done.

In the Court of Chancery yesterday the ['PRP
CHANCELLOit postponed giving his promised
judgment, the matter of the Election of the
President Master of Queen's College, Cambridge,
from Saturday to Tuesday next.

UNIVERSITY PETITIONS.

At a Congregation of this University on Mon-
day last,ePetitiOns :.o both Houses of Parliament
against the Ronan Catholic Bill were voted by
considerable majorities.—The following is a copy
of the Petition to the House of Commons:—

Td the TIONOURAELE the CO3rmoN-s of the Unitod King-
do sin of GREAT BRITA:N and IRELAND in PARLIAMENT

ass nzbl.3.

TI.IC hlITIII)le PETITION Cf th CHANCELLOE, MASTERS,
and SCHOLARS Of the UNIVERSITY Of CAMBRIDGE,

Sutwvrir—Thai yout Petitioners have learnt with much
Concern that bills have beta introduced into your Honourable
li"s3, for the repeal or modification of the severel oaths-and
declarations affecting his MajeSty4g Roman Catholic Subjects,
and for regulating the intercourse of spiritual persons, pro-
fessing the Roman Catholie Religion, With the See of Roine.
That, howntuchsoever any of the articles of belief referred to
in those declarations, may be stileel merely speculative and dog-
raatical, your Petitioners cannot but regard with the most se-
rious alarni, the removal of declarations which is to be followed
by an immediate practical consequence of so fundamental and
-Momentous a kind, as the unrestrained admission of Roman
Catholics to political power.
That, the points more especially comprised in thoie declara-
tions, being these two, the Romish DoctFine of the Eucharist,
and of the' Supremacy, are those very points winch your Peti-
tioners have ever been taught to regard as the grand, distin-
guishing-articles between the PopiSb and the Protestant Faith ;
as those precise points, which, in the language of the three most
illustrious and-rnost learned Martyrs, Fathers, and Confeisors
of the English Church, Cranmer, and Ridley, and Jereell; have
beer efirphatically and distinctly stileZ, by one, " the chief root,
whereas the rest is but branches and leaves ;" by another, " the

two principal things that bear up the whole brunt of-the Pope's
religion;" and by the third, " the two, his most perilous, and
In°st dangerous engines, -which he hath to impugn Christ's
verity and Gospel."
That diesel/ills, as they affect the Royal Supremacy over
_ .

IPiritual persons and causes, do strike at that which is one of
the inort undoubted and most ancient prerogatives of the So-
vereignty and Realm of England, find further, as they intro-
duce a foreign authority, are so far contrary to the just .prin-
viPles °fall civil government : and, most of all, as by a new.
"Q baneful example, they do formally recognize the spiritual
Jurisdiction of the See of Rome in this realm, (that which has
beet the scourge of the freedom and independence of nations,
41141 of individual happiness, in every age), they do, to the un-
'4standing of your petitioners, establish a most dangerous and
Pernicious precedent, which your petitioners contemplate with
Ijud feelings of surprise, alarm, and the deepest regret.
That your petitioners are decidedly of opinion that the pro-
Illises which some hold out of reconciliation and content-
to ensue from the success of these proceedings, in the
kinds of his Majesty's Roman Catholic Subjects, are to be con-
Rilered, both from past experience, and also from the very na-
ture of the case, as totally delusive and visionary ; while your
Petitioners are satisfied, on the contrary, that every fresh con-
cession has been, is, and must be, only an argument for more,
E 0 long as any single privilege or power, whether of a civil or
ecclesiastical kind, shall be left unconceded and meanwhile,

•
la consideration, which has been too much disregarded,) the ap-
PrebensiOn, distrust, and discontent, to be excited among his
Majesty's Protestant Subjects, with securities totally impaired,
told dangers correspondently increasing, must needs become ex-
ttente : for, the political effects produced by the religious prin.
tl/2des of the Rehan' Catholics, at all times, and in every country
to
which their influence has extended, are recorded in the
rzitory of the world, in characters too plain to be misunderstood,
too unequivocal to be explained away.
• Ine:tir Petitioners, therefore, so far from expecting, by these
35 mutual harmony and confidence to arise among the dif.
,Irl 0t classes of his Majesty's subjects, discern nothing else but
cas;
`Oll given to fresh intestine struggles of a far more serious
I,,e"e'i
On, tan any which hae been exprienced, sine the
tilousi timesh which led to thev e
Revolution in 1f,83, orc even
sirlee the Reformation itself :—with no prospect of repose, till
the
contest shall have been decided for the very being of the
),44g.1i1h Constitution, the existence of our Church Establish-
ar!d Reformed Protestant Faith, and with these, the con-
it,ance of civil liberty and true religion amongst us.
tbeiefore, not without other our just rights in behalf
i of
ie„wdien we, in particular, should be entitled to conjure
mr,ourable House to reject the present bills, yet, omitting
tereth"S,t, and pleading only in behalf of those vital in-
al enumerated ; pleading for the existence and
alel'cit itse mutual charit eaceableness, and good..:,vill among
s Majesty's Subjects; .and for the preservation, mum-
s '``,.,ed, of the Royal Prerogative ; and for the security of.the
412_1 and religious liberties of every class. of our fellow-country-
-all of which, by the present designs,' appear to us to be
irrler actually assailed and Injured, or.placed in imminent and
7.e-aiing danger.
our petitioners, therefore, most humbly, but most earnestly
itZeich your honourable Rouse, that Om Bills may not pass
4'4 your petitioners, as in duty bound,' shall ever pray, &c.

--TAIIILITY OE PERSONS TO BE COMPELLED TO,
OFFENMERL—At the late Cumber-
Assiies,.Mr.•Justice BEST, said he wished to
a few observations, which perhaps were very
Cie" called for. A mernber of the grand jury (Mr.
ltatsltian) had represented to him sincehis charge
ouri Delivered, that the Magistrates in this
tom Y (and the same was the case, his
kin,,ship understood,. in many parts of. this
ip iVoln) had met with considerable difficulty
'tie discharge of their duty, in consequence of
cohil,Tinn -that had one abroad, that a person
'" not be bound over to' prosecute, but only to
c„ieevidence. • This arose in consequence of a n
bjvonmade at one of the metropolitan police offices
an' a- gentleman, wha.at the same time referred to
'et of Parliament-tq bear out his assertion. It
l' as certainly true,that the Act of Philip and Mary,
}sere alluded to,gave the magistrate no such power;
hs'itthatActilad little to.do with the subject. By the
41hrt.'llon law of theland,maoistrates have a-right to
require persons to be bound over to prosecute ; and
"Pr.Son•,-effusing should be told that the magistrate
1,8 11,egto,:i with power to compel them. 11. is
-Lordship knew nothing of this misconception but
'slat he had
,seen in the newspapers; yet it was
Ileessar that'its entire fallacy should be known
t
y
every one. '

"o---Lc.646„—f'i'b hear from Portugal, that
a Clew volcano has burst out in the highest sum-
11'4 -of a ridge bf nieuntaiits near Leiria. This
extraordinary phenotrienou occurred at the pe-
niod of the high. rise of the Douro, mentioned in
most, of the Journals. The volcano was in full
action when the latest accounts came away, but
had happily taken a direction which threaten-
ed to do 'little damage. The country is stern,
and it may be recollected as that through which
\V r.t. LI:XL-To:4 passed in pursuit of MASSTNA.
