DIWNY-LANE.—A very melancholy circum•
stance occurred at this Theatre last night, when
the Tragedy of Richard the Third was near. its
coorlosion. A Person in the Pit, who had been
attervive to the progress of the performance, but
who had discovered no previous symptoms of
agitation, sudd,nly dropped from his seat and
expired in a few moments. His appearance was
respectable. Hi• br‘rly was conveyed to the Crown
and Cushion pohlic route, near the Theatre, and
the Coroner's Inquest will sit upon it this day.
On examining his pockets, it appeared that they
contained papers of valoe, with cards of address,
stating the name of C. M'CARTRY, Bull Inn,
Bishopsgate.street.

This morning, on Mr. CONS? taking hi; seat In
this Court, Michael Burke and John 1111 Keen were
placed at the bar, charged with a brutal assault
on William Allen. The charge was made out lit

Guilty.—Tlire, months' impr'oument in Newgate.

WORE FORGED NOTES.

, Joseph Doris was put to the bar, on, an indict-
ment Charging .ItiM wifh having in his possession
a certain paper, purporting to be a note for 11. of
the Governor and Company, of the Bank of Eng-
land, knowing it to be so.
From the evidence adduced in support of the
prosecution, the prisoner appeared to have dealt to
no inconsiderable degree in this sort of transaction.
Several tradesmen, to whom the prisoner had of-
fered base paper, were called. On one occasion
he offered a forged note to Mr. Poore, of Drury-
lane ; on another, one to Mr. Pitt of the same
place ; and on another, one to Messrs. Eagleton,
of Newgate-street..
'fire evidence for the prosecuting) harjng been
gone through, the prisoner was called on for his.
defence. He most solemnly declared his inno-
cence of the transaction, calling God to witness
that what he asserted was true. The' facts ad-
duced, however, were so satisfactory, that the
Jury found him Guilty.
It was subsequently intimated, that -notwith-
standiug the solemn rissurances the prisoner had
;wide on the present occasion, he had on Sa.tni
day made application Tor leave to plead guilty. to
;the minor (4fence, of having forged notes it. his
tposseSsion,
.which bad been refused. The Grand
Unry.lrad.ohrown out one of the bills against the
Vrisonetl stibequentiv to his making that applica-
ion, but which-he did not appear to be aware of,
for he ,had• made a second application, to lie
'sarne'tffect as the first, which met with a similar
receptionr; the Bank, wishing to giVe the prisontr
the bench! of =my chance he might have'of escap-
ing, would not acquiesce.

[New Times.]

It is with great pain that we have to announce
the death of that distinguished Ornament of the
English Bar, Sir Samuel Romilly, under citcum.
stances which must add poignancy to the regrets
oi all his friends. The loss of a beloved wife
plunged him, it is understood, pro, a paroxysm
of grief, against which nature coild not hear op ;
and befell a victim to the acuteness of his sensi.
bility. The rumour of his sudden dissolution
having yesterday evening spread rapidly-. through
Westminster, we saw numerous groups of the in•
habitants, who so lately 1)4(1-given him their suf-
frages as a it presentative, assembling in the
neighbourhood of i,is tesidence In Russell-square,
to inquire anxiously abuts. his fate: - Of Cow se it
was riot easy to ascertain the melancholy pat-time
firs ; hut every thing that transpired served only
to augment their distress. The sad and unexpect.
ed event was the more awful, compared with
those high attainments which Sir Samuel-possess.
ed, and with the recent gratification which tie had
received in his election for the City of Westmin.
ster. 41 What shadows we are !" says the great
Burke :
_" and what shadows do we pursue !"
Who, that saw Sir Samuel Romilly, so lively, at
the .head of a gay and splendid procession, at.
tended by his friends, and cheered by the popu.
lace, could have anticipated that in a few short
weeks the bitterest anguish should sink him to the
grave ? Of his professional talents, of hi. do.
quence, and legal kno‘Oedge i; would be. vain for
us to speak. They are known to all ranks of the
community ; but they now can only serve to ling.
meat our regret, and to render the unhappy fate
of their possessor more painfully striking.

[The Times.)
It appears that Sir Samuel had been for nearly
a fortnight before his wife's death in a sate of
great mental ,offering and anx:ety, sleeping little,
if at all, which had affected his bodily health so
much, that List week a Gentleman connocred Leith
the family wrote to a friend, expressing grew ap.
prehension; of his recovery..-He returned-to town
on Sunday; the body of his wife is oh the•road,,
and the whole 'of Sunday and yesterday he had
been in a state of anguish which approached to
frenzy-. Towards af•ernoon the dreadful act wag
perpetrated. No particulars have transpired; but
every one agrees in opinion, that the anxiety and
(after Lady rtimilly's death) the increased illness
had totally disordt red his reason.

ELECTION MEETING.

Last night an extra meeting of the free and in-
dependent Electors of the ancient town of GAtt-
RAT was held for the express purpose of offering
the Representation of that independent Borough
to Hesuy HUNT, Esq. An extremely warm de-
bate took place, in which the merits of this person
were distinctly stated, and his fitness strongly
urged. He was also considered as every way eli-
gible, from his declared attachment to Universal
Stiffrage, a right exclusively enjoyed by the Elec-
tors of Garrat. Some doubts were started as to
the question, whether he had obtained the free-
dont of the place, while some declared his compe-
tency, as he resided at Middleton Cottage, near
Hand-oree. Notwithstanding the harangues of
his friends, the Doctor apd the Apothecary, who
both declared, on their honour, that they knew he
had taken tip his freedom, it was carried by a ma-
jotit s; of three to one, that " HENRY Hu NT, from
the statements of his being infected with the while
feather malady, was not a fit and proper person
for the Electors to repose any confidence in, and
therefore utterly unfit to have the distinguished
honour conferred on him of representing such nu-
merous and highly respectable individuals as the
free and independent Electors of GARRAT."

COVENTRY ELECTION.

FOR THE SUN.
EDITOR,--A, paragraph having appear-
ed in your Paper, reflecting on the conduct
of the inhabitants of Coventry during the late
Election of Members to serve in Parliatnent for
that ancient City, I have by this post transmitted
the last number of the Coventry Mercury (the
Editors of which Paper, unconnected with either
party, have for very many years been proverbial
for loyalty to their King and attachment to the
Constitution), giving a very detailed account of
the proceedings at the Election ; and I beg leave
to draw your attention to the concluding remarks,
by which you will find '' that never at airy former
period was a contest carried on between the par-
ties with a greater regard to peace and good order,
and the whole has been conducted in a manner
highly honourable to the. Citizens of Coventry ;"
to which I shall only add, that the City is now as
calm and quiet as if no Election had occurred for
many years, and all parties are as sociable anti
friendly as if no difference of opinion had existed
during the rontest.—Trusting your known can-
dour and impartiality will indnce you in some wav
to correct or explain your late mis-statetuent, I
am

IVilfrid Parkins, Esq. 49. Upon which, Mr.
Curwen and Sir James (the late members),
were, of course, declared duly elected. While
this election lasted, it afforded a tolerable cairn-
terpart to the Westminster drollery. Mr. Parkins,
though it appears by the state of the poll hut
little in favour with the freemen, was the idol of
the n►oh,, a►id' kept the hustings in a roar by his
eccentric speeches and conduct. At the close how-
ever, the Spa-Field spirit broke forth, and the
universal suffrage men and reformers attacked Sir
JAMES GRAHAM with great fury, tore the Chair
which was brought for him to pieces in the
and pursued him to the Bush Inn, the windows of
/which they broke, while. Sir JAmws was glad to
escape the back way. They then procured an-
other chair, and carried 111 r. PAkKINS in triumph
round the city.

t is much to be regrettea thit .the Managing
Committee of Drury-lane Theatre did not ma-
nage better than to engage Ews.Tom so late in
the season. He is deservedly in high favour, not
only with the Public in general, but particularly
will.) persons of high rank, and may be truly said
to be still in the meridian of his
powers. We
hope to see him fixed in his former position next
season, as we are persuaded that his versatility
and solid merit may bid .defiance, to the facina-
Gm, of novelty, and essentially contribute to re•
vire the attraction of Old Drury.

WESTMINSTER ELECTION.

THE COMMITTEE for CONDUCTING the
ELECTION. of Sir MURRAY MAXWELL most ear-
nestly represent.to the ELECTORS of WESTMINSTER who
have not yet polled, that Four Days alone remain in which
they can secure a splendid Victory, and vindicate their real
Liberties and Franchises against those who would level all
distinctions in the mass of Universal Suffrage. Every cir-
cumstance attending the Poll renders it certain that an ear'
and vigorous Effort will make the Victory easy and complete.
The UNPOLLED VOTERS are therefore most. earnestly
entreated to present themselves at the Hustings without
delay.

favour of universal suffrage arching the friends of
Burdett, he (Mr. Hon!) should hive. been at the'
head of the poll. The fact of Sir ROMilly• being.
in that • situation, was a proof that they did not:
think Sir Francis Burdett sincere. For his own.
part he wished he was sincere ; but he thought it.
their dirty to watch him.—(Lond cries of disap-:

_placed hiM at the head of the poll, they had Otte-
ed hint in their hearts.—(Cries of No, nu! never!)—

ther riding upon his horse, wearing a red cods-

Mr. Hunt said.this was- a caricature, representing
him going to the gallows : it was not worth no-
tice ; but he .believed the object of those who'
exhibited it was to breed a riot.—(Groans and
hisses.)--It they would form a ring and spew fair
play,.he was ready to fight any man who tvould
oppose.hitn, or any of those cowards by whom
he had been assailed. He repeated'his thanks for
the support which he had received, an'd lainented
that he was assailed both by the hired press, and
by hired spies and bullies.—,-(Disapprobation.)--r-
-lle•was sure, however, that there were honest.
hearts enough in Westminster to protect hint. He
had got a carriage to take home his flag, let those
who chose attack it.

Gay/ JONES next attempted to speak ; hut a
Gentleman called out, Othello's occupation's gone,
and of the truth of this the hired .brawler seemeil
pretty Well convinced, for he soon retired.
Hunt then retired with his friends to a hack-
ney•coach which was in waiting for them, and
mounting his horse, they returned in the usual
manner to Norfolk-street, previously stopping in
the floor of sevetal New%p +per Offices, making
his ►►seal inctFrerual harngues. The multitude
quietly dkpersed ►tnn►erhs+ely after his departure.
The hustings Awe retno%ed•hy the proper work-
men, and in three hours from the cot►clnsion of
the luriness scarcely a vestige of the tremendous
conflict remained.

After the return of the two Members a sort of
procession was made by a number of the lower
clases, carrying flags in honour of Sir FRANCIS
BiJUDRTT. They went from Covent• Garden down
Bedford-street, .and thence by Charing-cross to
the western part of Westminster. The standards
were in very bad order, and were not accom-
panied by any ostensible friend of the Barb-
net. The streets were much crowded, and the
windows of the houses fully occupied by the fair
sex. 'But as Sir Francis Burde►t did not appear
in person fur the honour of chairing (an honour'
which, on.,a dormer occasion he accepted„ in a
curnle chair, placed on the top of a. truncated
Doric column, on a Roman car), the- daik bide
favours were few.

THE COMBINATION at MANCHESTER.

AlaNcifesTEß-,.JULY 28;—The Cotton Spinners
are still. absent from the factories. The sante
spirit which induced them to leave their employ-
ment, by which they earned considerably more
than other operatives ill the cotton manufacture,
continues in all its force ; and, as we are given to
understeord, from twelve to fourteen thou-and
persons (including their families) are at this mo-
ment dependent on their Association Funds
(ostensibly collected for their support in sick-
ness), on casual charity, or on parochial relief ;
for it would be insulting them to say they are
living on the fruits of their former earnings, since
that would operate as a strong argument against
the justice of their claims for an advance of wages.
The first source must soon be exhausted, when, so
many people are fed from it ; the second must be
incompetent indeed, when the amount of the rates
which are paid for• the legal support of the poor is
considered ; and it cannot be' supposed, that the
officers who distribute the money collected for the
parochial relief of the truly distressed, will apply
any of .these funds, which ought to be held sacred
for the purpose intended by the Legislature, to
the maintenance of persons who will not avail
themselves of the means which their business
affords them of providing for more comforts for
themselves and their families, than three fourths
of the whole population or the British Empire
(from the inferiority of the remuneration they
receive for more severe. and even more ingenious
labour than cotton•spinners) have ever known.

PROSTITUTES.

Mr. Alderman Noon moved, that it he Made an
instruction to the Committee to whom the Peti-
tion of the Inhabitants respecting the Common
Prostitutes io the streets had been referred, that
they should take into their consideration the state
of the Police and Watch of the. Metropolis, anti
report to the Court whether any and what altera-
tion conld be made in the sante.

Mr. S. Dlxoti objected to the word" Common;"
all Prostio)tes,- he contended, whether high or
low, were Common.

Slr. Alderman WOOD said the word was the
worthy Gentleman's own, nsed by him on a former
occasion, when this subject WdS before the
Court.—(A laugh.)
The motion was agreed to as it originally stood.
London, England, 1818-05-02

SHERIFFS OF COUNTIES.

Mr.' WYNNE alluded to an. Order made 'on the 2d of
March, .for Returns filth] the Sheriffs of the Counties, of
.Writs that had not been complied with. _There had been no
returns however made froth the Counties of Buckingham,
Glamorgan, Surrey, Oxford, and some others; in conse-
queue,: of which hi should make'a motion on the subject this
day se'nnight. The notice was entered accordingly, and the
qject of it was understood to be, to have all the Sheriffs who
had not complied with the. Order brought to the Bar of the
House.

H.SUNINER (shortly after the above-mentioned notice
was entered) said, that not being in the House at the time
the lion. Gentleman had given notice of his motion, he glad
no opportunity of vindicating the conduct of the Sheriff of
Surrey, who had already made his Return to the Messenger
of the Great Seal.

Mr. WYNNE said, he was glad to hear that this Gentle-
man bad complied with the Order.
The Houses of Correction Chaplains' Fees Bill was read a
third time, and passed.
London, England, 1818-05-02

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

A Petition was presented from Preston, praying for Uni-
versal Suffrage and Annual Parliaments.
On the motion of Mr. M. A. TAYLOR, it was ordered that
a plan of We parish of Marylebone, and'the books. of refer-
ence to the inhabitants supplied with water by Or: different
Companies, be deposited with the Clerk of the Peace for the
City of Westminster, before the 20tii of May.
The Report on the Southwark Bridge Bill was brought up
and agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a' third time
on Monday.
The Liffey and Shannon Canal Bill was read a third time
and passed.
Sir S. ROMILLY pfesented a Petition from a• person at
Wigton; complaining that be had been .confined since Octo-
ber last in the Tolbooth at" Wigton, and fined 1001. for an
offence against the Distillery Laws; although the said laws
authorized only six months' imprisonment.—Read, and or-
dered• to lie on the table, and to be printed.
The Committee. on the Steam Beats' Bill was postponed
till Tuesday next.
London, England, 1818-05-02

CITY FUNDS.

Mr. H. SUMNER wished to know wh7 an Order made in
February last, for Returns of the Orphans Fund and Bridge-
house Estates had net yet been presented ?
Sir W. CURTIS attributed the delay to the time necessary
in making them out.
Mr. H. SUMNER replied, that he had reason to believe
that instructions had been given to the Common Council not
to let them be ilresented till as late a period as possible.
Alderman WOOD defended the Corporation, and said he
was sure they had given no such order. They bad taken time
to consider whether they ought to deliver their title deeds;
they had been searching- for precedents to see whether the

[PRICE SEVENPENCE.

House could really require such a delivery. The accounts
being for fire years were very difficult to make, out, beir.'
quite different from what were presented annually. The
der went in the proper course to the Chamberlain, and tlr
was no doubt that the accounts were in forwardness.
Air. H. SUMNER. said, be was more satisfied with wb...
had heard from the Worthy Aldei man than with what n.
fallen from the Honourable Baronet. He should, however,,
feel it his duty to move that these Accounts be forthwith pre-
sented.

After a few wortk from Sir J. SHAW and Sergeant ONS-
LOW, the motion was agreed to.
On the Report on the Spirit Intercourse being brought up
by Mr. BROGDEN.

Sir G. (;LERKI made some observations on the different
scales of duties, and regretted lie was not present when the
Bill passed through the Committee, which lie tboni, ht was
before half•past four o'clock, as he •intended to propose a
clause, and which he wished now to introduce.
Mr. LUSHINGTON thought the clause of the Hon. Ba-
ronet went rather to regulate the intercourse of spirits be-
tween Scotland and England, than between Scotland and Ire-
land, to which the Bill applied.
A desultory conversation ensued, chiefly on the forms of the
House, respecting the time at which the clause could yet be
offered ; in the course of which Mr. Ilro;;:den assured the Hon.
Baronet he was mistaken in supposing that any public men-
sure had been submitted to a Committee before half-past
four.

The SPEAKER observed, that the state of the public busi-
ness was such, that if not began at half-past four, it would
occasion a great loss of time. He had taken care that no pub-
lic business should come on till that time; but be wisht.:d
Gentlemen to understand.tharat that hour it must"necessarily
commence when possible. Ile then gave several explana-
tions respecting the mode of submitting the clause; and after
a few words from Colonel Barry, Mr. J. P. Grant, Lord A.
Hamilton, and Mr. Finlay, the Bill, with the Amendments,
was ordered to be engrossed, and read a third time on Mon-
day.

MIT ON COALS.

Mr. LITTLETON said, that a report having gone abroad,
which had created considerable alarm in the inland counties,
he wi,lied to ash the Right Hun. Gentleman (the Chancellor
of the E%chequer), whether there was any foundation for it
It was rumoured that he meant to repeal the Duty on Coals
carried coastwise, and to lay it on the article at the pit
head.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could assure
the Hon. Gentleman, that it was far front his intention to
bring forward any such measure.

FORGED BANK NOTES.

Sir C. MORDAUNT rose to present a Petition from the In-
habitants of Birmingham, praying the interference of the
House to adopt some measure for preventing the numerous
forgeries of Bank of England Notes.
Mr. DUGDALE hoped the House would take this matter
into its most serious consideration.

Mr. GRENFELL said, it was his intention to more some
day next week for a Committee to inquire into this subject.
Sir J. GRAHAM asserted, that- one halt of the Bank trf
England Notes in circulation in the Northern Counties were
forged; and the consequence is, that the people will not take
any of the Notes of the Bank of England. He descanted on
the dreadful number of felonies and misdemeanours arising
out of this subject.
Mr. THOMPSON added his testimony in proof of thelion.
Baronet's assertions. He had been told by a great Country
Banker, that he had thirty forged notes offered to his house
on the average every week. He believed he could say, that
the forgeries through the country amounted to, hundreds of
thousands of pounds. Surely it would have been easy for the
Bank to change the form of their notes, and then the forged
notes could have soon been brought in; but it was in vain to
expect that the number of prosecutions and executions would
diminish as long as the Bank continued to go on with their
issues in this bungling manner.
General TEIORNTON congratulated the House on the at-
tention which they were giving to this important -.object.
Mr. DCGDA LE wished to ask the Hon. and Learned Gen-
tleman opposite whether it was his intention to make any
motion on this subject ?
Sir J. MACKINTOSH said, if the motion of his Right
Hon. Friend (Mr. Tierney) should unfortunately be nega-
tived this evening, he should certainly give notice of a motion
for a Committee to inquire into the means of preventing
Forgeries, for the first open day.
The Pelition was then brought up and read.
General GASCOIGNE said, one reason why forged Bank-
notes did nut so soon return from the country, or were not so
easily discovered, was, that they were circulated in the coun-
try as long as ever they would hold together. If the paper
currency was tag() on, it would be necessary to have greattr
facilities for exchanging old notes fur new. ones.
. .

After a few word; front Mr. LAMB, the petition was or-
dered to ►ie on the table, and be piloted.
A Mes'sage from the Lords announced that their House had
agreed to several public and private Bills.
