COrfON FACTORIES.

Lord KENYON stated that the Committee to
wuorn the Cotton Factories Bill had been referred
,had very diligently examined witnesses, but had
not yet been able to get through the evidence
brought forward by the petitioners against the
Bill ; and as justice required they should pay an
equal attention to the evidence in favour of the
Bill, he proposed to defer the further considera-
tion of the Bill till the next Session, giving notice
that he intended then to move the re-appointment
of the Committee for the purpose of concluding_
the examination of evidence.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE observed, that the
Noble Lord hid become a convert to the opinions
of those who thought further evidence requisite,
though the Noble Lord himsef seemed at a for-
mer period to think .further evidence altogether
unnecessary. He (Lord Lauderdale) thought
their Lordships would be of opinion that evidence
of considerable importance had been adduced, and
that particularly with regard to the manufactories
at Manchester, it would be found that they were
conducted on the most humane system.
Lord KENYON said,' he had merely intimated
that the evidence hitherto examined being altoge-
ther on the part of the petitioners against tl►e Bill,
common justice required that the evidence in fa-
vour of the Bill should also be heard, and there.
fore he had given notice of his intention to move
next Session for the re-appointment of the Com-
mittee, with regard to the nature or bearing
of the evidence. Under such circumstances he
thought it would be improper to give an opi.

Luis Lordship subsequently reported the evi-
dence, so far as taken by the Committee, whicti
was ordered to be printed.

A, conversation took place, in which it was sail)
by a Committee-man, that he knew but of three
persons whip had engagements.
Mrs. BARTLF.y observed, that the principle of
refusing to recognise engagements might be acted
ilium by any 'new Committee, and attempts of
course made to deprive the performers of their
salaries at every new appointment.
A CommitTTEE-Wm—Then'if you don't agree
to the conditions the Theatre most close. Anri
you. may go to law if you please. But what will
you go to late with ? •

Di)wToN.—Well go to law Ivith the pro-
perty. There is property upon which we can
come down. .

CommiTtc-mAN.—If we allow a fortnight's
salary to each of you, will you accept of the pro-
poSition

Actors—No, no; no compromise; we will have
our bond.

Mr. DowTort—(addressing himself to the Com-
mittee)—lf you are in want of money, I'll give
you a draft for 5001. on my hanker, by which you
will be enabled to go on a little time.
The Committe then Wished to know, whether
they would consent to give the conceit) credit for
their salaries during the season
Mr. DowToN—l have no objection, provided
you give nie security,
COMMITTEB-MAN.—Secutity ! Can you expect
that we will give you personal seem ?
Mr. DowToN.-:-Certainly if yofr do not, we
can't give credit.
. •

It was then intimated to the Committee that
he Performers wished to be• left to them,elves,
a order to come io a regular decision. The Com-
littee withdrew, and the• proposition wasnega-
ived, there being about five hands.up for it, and
Itirty againit it.

immediately after the decision all the lower
orders about the Theatre rushed in.° the Saloon,
and scented willing to promote the views of the
Committee by their votes, but it was too late.;

DRURY LANE Ti-TEATRE.

. .
MEETING OF ,THE cGM Mir& E AND, PERFOrtMERS.
go, Saturday a Nieeting, consisting of mospof
the Committee and *Performers of Druty Lane
Theatre, took place in the Saloon, put scant to a
circular notice °lva subject of very g-rest interest,
naricularly to the latter. There wine present the
Duke a BEDFORD, the Earl of Essx.x, Lord •YAR•
MOUTH, 111. PETER AIOORE, &C. Sce:
Mr. PETER MooRE 'opehed the business. He
stated, withctit circumlocution, that the cireutn-,
stances of, the Theatre were such as to render it
impossible to go ron as they had been going'on,
without a very material and immediate change in
the receipts at the doors ; aml as that could not
be completed, it becaMeneeessiiry to make an ap-
plication to those who had large salaries at the
Theatre, with the vie'w of continuing the exist-
ence of the concern. He took this opportunity
of bearing testimony to the talents of the per-
formers, whose abilities were universally acknow-
ledged, and of admitting that they were fully en-
titled to the sliaries they were paid. At the sane
futile it Must be acknowledged that be and his col-
leagues had acted upon the most disinterested
principles ; and the proptisition he had to make
would," no doubt, be
,received as proceeding 110111
motive the most worthy.
The proposition- was, that each performer who
bad upwards of 41. a week, should allots, a reduc-
tion to take place. The gradation should take
.place according to 'the extent- of the salary, ln
that of some one-fourth, of 'others one-third, and
in others, where the salaries were very greati
one-half.
The actors looked' amazed.

Lord YARmoorn also eulogized the talPnts of
the Company, and declared at once tt.at if the
proposition were not acceded to, the Theatre must
close.

Mr. DowTox.—" Then let it close. My voice
is but the voice of an individual upon the establish-
ment, but I 'shall never relinquish one fart hiag of
my salary. lam a,shanied to see a set of Noble-
men and Gentlemen attempting to oppress a few
Individuals. lam myself. the proprietor of many
Theatres in the cx-nintry, by some of which I lose
401. a week, and I- should blush to call the Per-
formers together to give op a shilling for my .be-
nefir. Talk of Noblemen ! 1 would not wish to
offend people of rank, bur I doo't think them su-
perior either in feeling or judgment to other
people.''

The Noble Earl, in returnine thanks., observed, that he did
not lin•-w.whether he was'entitled to the compliments which

most heat ty good w.shes. He had always acted to the utmost
of his power hi support of it, mid of music in general.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR ,--That regard for common justice which at
all times influences your Journal, 'will, I trust,
indnce'you to insert a few observations on Mr.
Lyttleton's unprovoked 'and undeserved attack
(last Tuesday) on the whole body of Licensed
Lottery Oflice-Keepets.
The expres'sions to which I more particularly
allude, are contained in that part of his speech in
-which he considers them collectively. '' as a
league Of fraudulent and criminal men, not more
wot thy of trust than hangmen or informers."
As one of that body ;—conscious that the ap-
pellation I,s undeserved ;—and doubly conscious
that on no oCcasion:has my conduct (either as a
Mock-broker or an
.office,keeper) been distill--
-};wished by " fraud," or " criminality," I can-
not help feeling, as all men would, who have any
regard for their reputation ; and thus publicly call
upon him to deny or prove a charge so illiberal,
unmanly, and unfoundttl.
Sir,—it is pot because Mr. Lyttleton is privi-
leged as a Member of Pat liatnent to say what he
pleases that be should abuse that privilege :
.the possession of power does not justify the exer-
cise of tyranny ;—and whatever may be his opi-
niem on the subject of Lotteries, he must well
loow, that as the Agents at Government, licensed
by them, amf restricted in every just sense by an
Act of Parliament, Lottery Otflce.keepers cannot
beeither " criminals" or " defaulters," without.
laying themselves open to the law, and conies.
fluently to punishment.
I make this -public appeal, that Mr. Lyttleton's
language (perhaps uttered unguardedly) might be
retracted ; or that he would bring some proof to
justify such an assertion. Such proof (ifit could
he'made) would be satisfactory to myself, to the
body of which I am one, and to • the public at
large. If it cannot he made, and Mr. Lyttleton
is silent on the occasion, there can be but one
opinion in the public mind; and that opinion I
leave him to guess.—Lam, Sir, your obedient..
Fervant, -

DITTY ON COALS.

The LORD MAYOR presented a Petition from th:
Merchants and Traders. of the City of London,
praying that the tiouse, at some future time,
might take into theiz consideration t'►e Ditties
imposed upon Coals imported into' the Port of
Lon,lon, with a iew either to the equalization of
he ies, or tlie adoption of some measure which
might tend to alleviate the pressure under which
the inhabitants of the metropolis laboured in con-
sequence of those duties.

'll,e question being put for bringing tip the
Petition,

Mr. i\l A. TAYLOR said, that if any measure, such
as that contemplated by the Petition, wete pro-
posed, he ~Itottld feel it his duty to oppose it.
The subject was before the consideration of the
first Statesmen, and Mr. Pitt opposed a propoli-
iioo fin• the removal of the Coal Duties in the
Port of London.

The LORD MAYon said, that the Petitioners
prayed only for equalization of the-lloties•
Mr. LYTTLeTON thou;;ht no measure could be
more unwise than to equalize the duty upon coals,
or to extend it ro those large toanufacturng dis-
tricts in which great quantities of coals were con-
sinned. If a measure of this kind was brought
forward in :his Session or Patliament, he should
feel it his duty to oppose it.
Mr. DUGUALB comld not think !hat the City of
London was serious in the prayer of this Petition.
He should feel himself exiled upon to oppose it
whenever it was brought before the House.

General THORNTON said, that considering the
Counties which the two Hon. Members who
spoke last represented, he was not surprised at
their opposition. This Tax 'was very severe upon
the metropolis. It was continued long atter the
cause which gave rise to it had ceased to exist. It
was hard that no Tax should be imposed, upon
Coals where they were cheap, and a heavy one
imposed in London, where the price was always
comparatively high. He hoped that something
would be done in the next Session of Parliament
to relieve the metropolis from this duty.
bir M. IV. RIDLEY thArght the prayer of the
Petition, it'aerptiesced in, would do serious injury
to the Coal Trade. The real owners would be
glad to have a Committee appointed to inquire
into the sqhject, for they could then prove that
their conduct was fair, and that the high price of
Coals in London did not depend upon them. It
Oliginated with persons in Loudon ; and perhaps
the Hon. Gentleman (the Lord Mayor) would
give them, ,if be pleased, informatinu upon that
subject.

CtIARLES POLE said he had no doubt but
the tax, upon inquiry, would be found most, op-
pressive and unjust.—The petition was read, and
ordered ffi be printed.
Mr. But-LEN presented a petition from the Cor-
poration of Exeter, praying for a repeal of the
duties upon coal carried coast-wise.
The Lords' Amendments to the Pkaish Vestries'
Bill were agreed to.

Mr. HoßsLey's CHILD.—It is confidently re-
ported that Mr. HORSLEY has regained his child,
and settled all matters amicably with the man
who stole it, but that no further intelligence on
the subject is intended to be communicated to
the Public. We hardly conceive this to be the
case ; for as the Public manifested strong solici-
tude, as well as curiosity, on the occasion, the
Public has a kind of right to know the result ;
and if such a matter were really hushed up, after
the artifice and villainy which has attended the
transaction, less interest and humanity would pro-
bably a►ise on any similar event.
It is remarkable that her late MAJESTY trans-
acted all her own private business, till her hulls-
position prevented her from proceeding to Wind-
sor. Up to that period, her hand-writing con-
tinned the same as: it hail been for a number of
years back.

he is•to remain for 20 years.

" A letter from St. Quentin states the follow-

ing occurrence :—Two men went into a cabaret
and died immediately after having drank a glass
of wine. The carabatier, who was about to be
arrested, wishing to prove to the Authorities that
he was ready to answer for the good quality of
hk wine, drank a glass from the same bottle, and
immediately fell dead. The cellar was then ex-
gniiilCd from whence the bottle had been taken,
when a serpent was found in a state of putre-
faction.

" Valenciennes was surrendered to the National

" MADRID, JULY 23.—Notwithstanding the
declaration of the Allies against the admission of
any Diplomatic Agent to the Meeting at Aix-la-
Chapelle, we have reason to hope that the Mo-
narchs will not hesitate to give an attentive con-
sideration to the extremely serious differences
which subsist between our Court and that of Por-
tugal.

" As to the great events that have occurred,
and those that probably will occur, in toe Fioridas,
it would be in some measure an insult to the supe-
rior wisdom ,of the High Allied Powers, to doubt
that they will promptly take every means to obtain
information respecting the motives and develope-
ments of a quarrel which may produce incalcul-
able consequences.'

" VIENNA, JULY 22.—The departure of the
Emperor and Empress for Munich will decidedly

understood that the Emperor will review his

130W-STREKI'.

ST. CLEMENT'S UHURGll.—Yesterday a number
of persons appeared before Sir NATHANILL CO-
NANT, Mr. BinNte, and Mr. SKETCHLEY, to Soul-
!nooses issued against them by Mr. Dew, the
churchwarden of the parish of St. Clement Dane,
for non-payment of church-rates. Several per-
sons residing in 'Change-court pleaded their ina-
bility to pay, and that they could not pay the
priors'-rate; they also pleaded, that they consi-
dered that many of the alterations and decorations
were quite unnecessary, and the church was now
more like a play-house than a 'church. One gen-
itleman, whose house was rated at 100/. a year,
wrote a letter addressed to the Magistrates, stat-
ing that he had no objection to pay the rate if he
could be accommodated in the church, but he bad
been there and had been refused a seat.

Mr. Dew, the churchwarden, in answer to this,
stated, that if the gentleman would pay fm a Pew
in advance, and would attend the chutchs'at
proper time before eleven o'eloCk. on Sunday
morning, he con hi. have a seat free on -the south
or north side a (lir Church.

Mr.. Wanlth,-Of 'Norfolk-street, attendrti to an.•
suer to beiog a (44:u-titer in several rates, am""1"-
ing to 3/. Ss• i Ir, Wougli objected to pAy on
the ground of Ilia not having been cumulted on

titre propriety of One alteration; an repairi. lie
also denied that his neighbour's hat! paid. The
Magistrates informed hint, that if he and his
neighbours found themselves aggrieved by the
church-rote, they must appeal against it, and not
refuse to pay.
The Magistrates accordingly adjudged him to
pay the rate ; and he pledged !dins& to appeal to
the Quarter Sessions against the order.
The Magistrates called upon Mr. Dew, the
churchwarden, to produce his rate book, in which
the names of the persons complained against
were to be found as defaulters. On his producing
the book, it was found to contain a form, antho-
rizing the collection of the rate, but which was
signed only by two former churchwardens; but it
was not signed by the Rector, whereas the Act
of Parliament directs that he shall sign it, and
that it shall be a rate of the Rector, Church-
wardens, and inhabitants. This omission was
not accounted for by the Churchwardens.
It was thought by the Magistrates that the
Rector might have had some objections to the
rate, and had declined signing it. It was also
thought that this rate operated very hardly upon poor
people, and upon those who did not attend the
church. The Churchwardens stated, that they
had no other means of paying for the repairs
which had lately taken place. The Parish OiLcers
received the produce of estates belonging to the
parish, which they paid to the account the
poor-rates, and which eased the parishioners of
about one half they would have to pay ; for,
orhermise, instead of sixpenny and sevenpenny
rates, they tvould have to pay shilling and tour-
teenpenny rates,

ANCESTRY.

The families of the ancient heroes of Saxon and Norman
race are, ch►efy by the mutations of time and of state, either
become extinct, or reduced to the lowest verge of fortune.
Those few, tht!refore, whose descent is traceable, may be
carried higher than that of the present nobility; for I know
none of these last who 'claim peerage earlier than the reign
of Edward the First, about the year 1295. Hence it follows,
that for antiquity, alliance; and blood, the advantage is evi-
dently in favour of the lowest class.

Could one of those illustrious shades return to the earth
and inspect human actions, he might behold one of his de—
scendants dancing at the lathe ; another, tippling with
dark brethren of time apron; a third, kurnbly soliciting from
other families such favours as were former)). granttd by his
own; a fourth, imitating mtidern grandeur, by contracting
debts which he never,designs to lac; amid a fifth, snuff of de—
parted light! poaching., like a thief in the night, upon time
very manors possessed by his ancestors.*

Wherrce is it that title, pedigree, and alliance, in superior
life, are esteemed of the highest value, while in the inferior,
which has a prior claim, they are totally neglected?—Tho
grand design of every creature upon earth is to supply the
wants of nature. No amusements of body or mind can he
adopted; till hunger is served. %libel) the appetite calls, the
whole attention of the animal, with all its powers, is hound
to answer. Hence arise those. dreadful contests in the brute •
creation, front the- lion in the woods to the dog who seizes
the bone. Hence the ship, when her provisions are spent,
and she becalmed, casts a savage eye upon human sacrifices;
and better zhe attention of the lower ranks of men is too far
engrossed fur mental pm suit. They see, like Esau, the ho-
nours of their tamily devoured with a ravenous appetite. A
Mall With au empty cupboard would snake but a wretched
philosopher. Itut, it fortuity, should smile upon one of the
lower lace, raise him a step above his original starding, and
;:ive hint a prospect of independence, ha immediately begins
to cye the arms upon carriage's, examines old records fr,r his
name, and inquires where the Heralds' Other is kept. Thus,
when the urgency of native is set at liberty, the bird eau
whistle upon the braach, the fish play upon the surface, the
goat skip upon the mountain, and even man himself can bask
.N the sunshine of science.

DR U R Y-L AN E.

We have given an account in our Police Report
(see the last ,page) of a silly appheation made-yes-
terday to the Magistrees at 'low-Street, against
a man charged with having posted a placard on
the door of this Theatre. The charge was pro-
perl dismissed by the Magistrate. The matter,
however, is • worth notice, and must raise dis-
agreeable reflections, as we find that there are as
bad feuds among the Directors of the 'Theatre as
any that its stage has shewn in diamatic represen-
tation, though happily not likely to be attended
with such tragical effects. The truth is th,lt bar',
the u inter Theatres are much too large and
if it were not for the HAYMARKET THEATRE,
and THE ENGLISH OPERA HOU,E, the first
cruelly restricted in point 'of time, by the
protracted duration of the winter seasons,
and the latter restricted to particular Perform-
ances, the regular Drama would sink into absurd
Melo-Drarnes. pompous processions and •caval-
cades, and thus all the moral purposes of the
Stitge would be wholly overwhelmed in empty
show. Ii the taste of Mr. WYATT, die inge-
oiou3 Atehitect, Irdd been cousiiiii if ilt the size as
well as in the structure or Unity-lane 'fbeatre,
we shonl''d have seeu an ell lice fit for public
crow mndAtion, and good old Dramas
might have been revived, and new Authors
be iminced to come torward, in the hopes that
their plays would be heard.--As it is, we can
only advise the Managers of . Drury-Lane
Theatre to forget their teuds, to build - a new
theatre within the walls of the present, and to
employ the intervening space in useful offices,
rooms, shops, &c. &c. and, above all, to consider
the pressure of the times, and reduce the price
of admisAon to the ,:ld standard —We would ad-
monish Covent-Garden Theatre to adopt the same
course; for though its last was a successful sea-
son, it may otherwise often he mortified in seeing
" a fret gayly account of empty boxes," and benches
into the bargain.
