deem This he was preparel to disprove, and to
.hew that it was delivered on a 'full review and
knowledge of all the circumstances of the case.—
Here the Honourable Baronet read an extract from
the written opinion of Mr. Palmer's Counsel. He
acknowledged that there was some parr of that Gen-
tleman's conduct that was not strictly defers'ble ;
bat he denied that it could at all affect the question
as to the justice of his claim, inasmuch as Abe con•
duct alluded to, so far from evincing any want of
integrity in his public trust, asose from his impatience
it the ignorance of those who were set over him.—
Lord Walsingham and Lord Chesterfield had, never-
theless, greatly to their honoNfr, borne ample testi-
:ooy to the general merits of Mr. Palmer. There
llewise, sufficient proof in the great' increase
dthe revenue, of the value and importance of Mr.
piaiper's plan—a plan which had required great
tints and exertions to carry into execution—an ob-
ject,however, which Mr. Palmer had successfully ac-
complished. It was a most unfair principle then to
assume, that because the gain to the public had been
pormous, and the per centage to the individual must
d course be great, therefore the House ought to
pote before they fulfilled the demands of justice.—
Uhen he saw sinecures actually increasing in propor-
tta+ to increasing distresses of the country, and
House refusing to interfere, on the ground that
, the Gentlemen holding them had a legal right to
' their possession, he thought it very hard that such an
argument should he urged in a case where great
actual service had been performed, and where no im-
provident bargain had been made.
Mr. BANKES said a few words in opposition to
the Bill, which was read a third time and passed.

FRAMEWoRK-KNITTERS BILL.

Mr. PARKER COKE moved the second reading
of the Framework-knitters Bill. He stated the object
to be to prevent the too prevalent practice of selling
private and fraudulent manufactures.
Mr. W. SMITH, Mr. GIDDY, and Mr. LOCKHART,
said a few words in approbation of the principle of
the Bill, which was then read a second time.
EXCHEQUER REMEMBRANCER'S BILL.
Mr. H. MARTIN then rose to move, that the Ex-
chequer Remembrancer's Bill should be read a second
time. The principle of this Bill he stated to be
si-
milar to that of a measure which he had lately sub-
mitted, that of rendering it unlawful for a public offi-
cer to derive advantage from the interest of money
strusted to his custody.
Mr. MARTIN observed, that there was in the
bands of the Remembrancer of the Exchequer at this
moment, of the suitors' money, to the amount of

11,500,0 X), while at the same time he gave no secti-
nty. In leis predecessor's time a sum of 815,000 had
been lent out on mortgage. If it was allowable to lay
ant any part of the suitors' money in this way, the
tiliole might be so laid out.
The House then Went into a Committee, when cer-

tin Amendments were agreed to, the Bill was te-
potted and was ordered to be taken into farther con-
iitration on Friday, and to be pr;nt4.-4. Adjourned.

concourse of people was very great, yet there was PLYMOUTH, JUNE C.R.

tators—we say spectators, for it is the peculiar
felicity of her talent that her expression, her atti-
tudes, and action speak to the feelings as sensibly as
her voice. This powerful instrument of acting, to
the eye, the most forcibly used in the banquetttng
scene ; and also in that, which, by its impreslion,
became the last scene of the play ; for, after her
exhibition of a tortured conscience in her sleep, the
company would see and hear no more—the electrical
effect was produced—and the audience literally en-
cored the scene. They became boisterous in their
applause of her acting, and in calling for a repetition.
—The incongruity of stopping the march of a Tra-
gedy, for the encore of a whole scene, like a song in
an opera, struck one part of the house, while ano-
ther continued to demand it. The curtain dropt—
an attempt was made to soli( irthe pleasure of the
house to permit the, play to proceed—but no—and
after a long suspension the certain rose—Mrs. SID.
DONS appeaied to take her leave. She was seated by
a table, in the dress of the sleep sane. Her advance
to the front of the stage was met with universal ap-
plause ; and alter a moment's apparent struggle with
herself, she began the following Address (written by
HORACE TWISS, Esq.) with great feeling and effect :
Who has not felt, how growing use endears
The fond remembrance of our former years ?
Who has not sigh'd, when doom'd to leave at last
The hopes of youth, the habits of the past,
The thousand ties and interests, that impart
A second nature to the human heart,
And, wreathing round it close, like tendrils, climb,
Blooming in age, and sanctified by time ?
Yes ! at this moment crowd upon my mind
Scenes of bright days for ever left beitind,
Bewildering visions of *nrapturerktyouth,
"When hope and fancy wore the hisses of truth;
And long-forgotten years that alt iost seem
The faded traces of a moving dream !
Sweet are those mournful Noughts: for they renew
The pleasing sense of all I owe to you—
For each inspiring smile, and soothing tear—
For those full honours of my long career,
That cheer'd my earliest hope, anti chaid my latest fear I
And though, for me, those tears shall flow no more,
And the warm sunshine of your smile is o'er—
Though the bright beams are fading fast away,
That shone unclouded through my summer day;
Yet grateful Memory shall reflect their light
O'er the dim shadows of the coming night,
And lend to later life a softer tone,
A moonlight tint, a inure of her own !
Judges and Friends ! to whom the tragic strain
Of Nature's feeling never spokSin vain, .
Perhaps your hearts, when years have gilded by,
And past emotions wake a fleeting sigh,
May think on her, whose lips have pour'd so long
The charmed sorrows of your Shakspeare's song—.
On her, who, parting to return no more,
Is now the mourner she but :sexed bafore—
Herself subdu'd, resigns the melting spell, •
And breathes, with swelling heart, her long, her last farewell !
Mrs. SIDDONS delivered this Address with much
firmness, impressiveness and effect until near the
close, when, her voice faultering and dying away,
she was handed eff the stage by Mr. KESIBLE ;—she
retired bowing, and followed by acclamations from
all parts of the most crowded house that we have
ever seen.
On the fall of the curtain, Mr. KEsiRLE returned
to know whether k was the pleasure of the audience
that the play should go on ? but they would hear no
more, and the greater part retired immediately.
Thus bath terminated the professional career of
one of the greatest actresses in tragedy that the world
ever saw or enjoyed : and it must solace this meri-
torious lady, to know, in her retirement, that her last
scenic exertion was crowned with the full approba-
tion of the princely, the noble, the wise, and the
good ; as we never saw an auditory more splendidly
filled, than that of Covent-Garden was on this occa-
sion. •
Mrs. SIDDONS first appeared in the Theatre Royal
Drury-lane, in 1775, under an engagement made
with Mr. SIDDONS, at Cheltenham, that summer, by

THE ARMY.

INSPECTION OF CAVALRY.—This morning at tea
o'clock, the Ist and 2d Regiments of Life Guards
mustered, with their appointments in the fullest order.
in Hyde Park, opposite the Barracks, for the purpose
of being inspected by the Commander.in-Chief, Lord
HEATHFIELD, and the usual Staff. The bands of both
regiments made n nouvelle appearance; the blacks in
long Moorish turbans, and the other performers in
Austrian costume attracted general admiration.—
They performed several pieces of martial music t• the
g re at en te rtainment of a numerous a sse mblageof ladies
fhe Duke of YORK arrived, with his suite, about a
quarter past ten o'clock, when a shower descended,
and, for a time, put the Ladies to the route. Fine
weather, however, soon returned, and the Regiments
went through a variety of evolutions in a most
brilliant style. Several persons of distinction were
present.
The 9th, and 82d, two very stron and effective
regiments (the 82d being 1100 strong),et Gibraltar,
are under orders to join Lord WELLINGTON. They
will be replaced by the 26th, 77th, and 83d. The
transports that carry the latter regiments to Gib:.
raltar, will take the two former regiments from thence
Ito Lisbon.

The 6th foot, 900 strong, at Jersey, are also under
orders to join Lord WELLINGTON. .

A detachment of the Royal Waggon Train, em•
barked on Friday, at Portsmouth, for Portugal.

Thursday Major-General DURHAM inspected the de.
tachment of the Ayrshire Militia, quartered in Gree-
nock, and expressed himself highly satisfied with
their appearance.

Thursday the skeleton of the 70th Regiment of
Foot arrived at Leith, late from the West Indies ;
they remained in Edinburgh that night, and marched
next morning for Stirling.

Forty-three men and four officers, of the Inver-
ness•shire Militia, who have been ordered to Scotland
-en the recruiting service, were landed at Leith on
Thursday from London.
Most sincerely as that gallant old experienced
Officer,- Lieutenant Colonel WYATT (who comman-
ded so ably the 2d Battalion of the Welch Fuzeleers,
in the memorable Corunna campaign) wishes, with
his brave comrades, to join the Ist Battalion in• the
Peninsula, yet from some unfortunate and unknown
cause, the recruiting and ►olunteeting to the 2d Bat-
talion 23d Regiment, has not been attended with that
success which in former years was known, and, con-
sequently, the weak state of that Battalion does not
admit of its going on service.

The 16th Regiment of Infantry, under the com-
mand of Lieutenant-Colonel TOLLIY, halted at Stam-
ford on Tuesday and the fallowing day, on their
march from Woodbridge to Durham (Lieutenant-
General Sir C. GREWS district, who is Colonel of
the Regiment).—This Regiment has been dreadfully
exhausted by mortality during eight years service at
Surinam, and v.-as I perfect skeleton a few weeks
ago, on returning from that unhealthy country ; but
the late volunteering from the militia, (particularly
from the Royal South Lincoln Regiment) has added
considerably to its numbers, and it is now upwards
of 500 strong. On being effective and 6t for service,
it will be made a Light Infantry Corps.
