• UNITARIANS,

The Marquis of LANSDOWN held a Petition from
a class of persons with whose religious opinions he did
not profess to agree, and who were known under the
nanie of Unitarian Dissenters. They prayed that.their
Lsidships would institute an inquiry into the state of
the laws respecting them : for they were alarmed at
the doubts which had been espressed in a high quarter
of their being offenders on account of their religion.
Indeed, he should not have thought it .possible that any
doubts should be entertained of the competency of a
class so respectable,. who had so long filled with credit
so many offices and all the relations of Society, and who
believed in a state of future rewards and punishments,
or that without any allegation against than of came
ar disloyalty to disqualify themithey should be thought
subject to the operation of the common law, years af-
ter an Act of Parliament had passed, repealing all pc-
rialtics inflicted upon them by the Statute law. It had
• been truly said by ford Mansfield, 44 that the Dissen-
tees were not under the connivance, but the protection
of the law." The Petitioners believed in the Scriptures.
• in a future state of rewards and punishments, and as
Christians were entitled to the protection of the laws.
It was, at all events, a matter to them of the utmost
importance, that the state of uncertainty in which they
were placed at present should be removed, and that
they should know what was their ictual condition in
the eye of the law. He hoped that at no remote period the Ped.
timers would be relieved from the obligation of the law of mar-
riage. He did not wish to prescribe to their Lordship the course
they ought to adopt; but be was of opinion that exemption from
the law of marriage would, if not define the, extent of their rights,
at least relieve thew/roam the cloud, as to their real state in the eye
of thi law, in which they were at present ensamped
The LORD CHANCELLOR thought it was er•
tainly desirable that the law should be ascertained.—
Should any doubts exist, it was but reasonable that
those doubts should be construed for the benefit, and not to the
prejudice of theTetitioners.
- Lord HOLLAND said, that •if the Noble and
Learned Lord thought the law was doubtful, he would
have acted a more fair and manly part had he stated
so to the House, and also have endeavoured to re-
move those doubts, and to amend the law. At an
earlier period *of the Session, it would have been a
'matter of doubt what steps the House ought to have
adopted on this important subject ; but it was evident
that at that late period nothing could be effected. He
(Lord Holland) highly approved of the Petition, for
the doctrine alluded to did not afloat the Unitarians
alone, but in fact went to assert that- the Dissenters
had no legal rights, and only esisted by sufferance.
The doctrine had in former times been glanced at try
Mr. Justice Perrot, and by Justice Blackstone:- The
claims of the Dissenters had on a lite 'occasion been
advocated much to their honour by some of the most
, •
eminent Dignitaries- of the Church, chile others had
been of opinion that they were liable to i prosecution
at common law. It had Certainly been the doctrine of
great lawyers, that Christianity wai 44, part and par-
cel" of the law of England.' . But that could only
•be applicable to the Petitioners, upon the principle
that to deny the Trinity was to deny Christianity.—
Now Lord Chief Justice Raymond, and in still clearer and better
language, Lord Mansfield. had stated, that to believe in the
Italy Scriptures was to believe in Christianity, and In the Holy
Scriptures the Petitioners believed. The Paidoners.in rages stood
on the mme fiskilnig with all other classes of Dieschlkss, =ld
were omitied to the same civil and religious rights.
The LORD CHANCELLOR in, etplan,ation said,
he had given no opinion of his own at ear. time 00'
the subject; bat bad only stated what had talus place in.the eoftti
below. Tho Petition was read, slid laid on the table-'

DUMAS PUISS-IaCINET.
Mr. ABERCROM BY presented a Petition front Mr 7. E.
MacGregor, an Meer entitled to share in the Deccan Prize money,
deprecating the imputation attempted to be insinuated, that there
wits a desire to enter into needless Stigation and praying the House
woad call upon those Petitioners, whoinsauated so murk, to state
to voltam that insinuation applied.
Qdonel LUSHINGTON said, the motive of the Petitioners,
wbosti Petition be had the honour to present, was merely to ez-
ries their confidence in the Trustees, and with no intention elf in•
yid, anybody.
Slr H. HARDINGE said, the Duke of Wellington
and Mr. Arbuthnot, had reason to complain of calum-
nious aspersions and misrepresentations. He thought
the correspondence on the table shewed sufficiently, that
there was a disposition in some parties to go to law. He
thought the Gentlemen of the Long Robe-had had their
share of the booty, since, in law .expenses there had been
already cap nded 14,0001. whilst the expenses of the
Trustees for two years amounted only to 1501. He was
not making any-accusation in saying this, beet he mast.
say, that Sir T. idialop must have been 'toady deceived by ems
one iu his confidence, who put, in the Newspapers garbled accounts
of what passed, and for that reason, the Duke of Wellington hod
been obliged to Mink even his tiersassal comessnications to Sir T.
Hislop ; for entirely acquitting hint of these thins, it must be that
k is confidence was abused by some one.
Mr. BROUGHAM said, the Hon. and gallant Officer
had his full leave and license to say whatever he pleased
of the profession of the law. but what he (Mr. B.) coon-,
plained of was, a particular accusation being made
against particular persons. which upon the slightest ex-
amination of the circumstances, turned out to be un-
founded. Against the charge of needlestlitigation. he
(Mr. Brougham) had the evidence of the Commander-
in-Chief (Sir T. Hislop) and others, who represented
their own interest, and who made no complaints of
needless and expensive litigation. There was said to be an
diture of 214,000 for law proceedings, but what had been
for that sum? Why, upwards of AIWA® ; for by that
Ws, k must be remembered, die Deccan Army beat. the Grand
Army, and the East India Company. It was common elms* for
ponies to cqmplain, when they lost their cause ; bat it was a hard
ease that there should be complaints when the came had been
pined; and be (Mr. Brougham) would be well cceitent, if ever be
Mg=as a suitor. to have a similar remit in his case.
el LUSHINGTON ezplairsed•—He admitted that he bad
signed the Petition to the House, for Colonel Nobk, who is absent
L the Highlands of- Scotland, and which he thought k bad
sufficient authority for doing, as he disapproved of the proceed-,
logs against the Trustees.
Mr. BROUGHA bi thought this was m extremely iflognler
transaction on the part of as Hon. and gallant Mei.'
Mr. Secretary CANNING said, there could be to
doubt that the gallant Officer had acted from the best
of motives. in adopting the course which he had avowed,
in so candid and manly a manner. It was equally {
'certain that that course would have been inconsistent
with the usage. of Parliament, even' if he had had -an
express authority from his friend to sign the Petition;
and that the irregularity was still greater,, since- hi
acted only en a general knowledge of the opinions of
his friend, the gallant Officer would be aware, when his
Parliamentary experience was more matuted. He (Mr.
Canning), however, could not: but protest against' the
tone which had been assumed by He..n. and Lend
Gefitlemen opposite, in the observations which thet bad
made on the general quittiOn.
_had alwaYs 'Airtight
that the settlement of a question brarbitratioP, was
a course commonly preferred to an expengive proceedr
ing at law, and he really thought it bard upon any
Gentleman- it ho ventured to state such a preference in
that House, that he should be called upon to substan-
tiate a charge upon the learned profession. This was
a sort of tyranny which he had.never heard of before,
and. which he !rally did not understand. A Doctor of
Physic was glad to get a pat tot; a Clergyman was
supposed to delight in the cure.of souls ; beet if it were
only hinted that a Lawyer liked to get a client, this was
instantly. resented, -Honourable and Drained Gentle-
men opposite, as a cruel aspersion, and a sort of man-
datoe megnatuna against the members of that profes-
sion—(A laugh). He remembered that in a late debate
a story was rather triumphantly told on the other side
of the House, of atfaccount between two parties, which
had been the subject of litigation for many years, hav-
ing been re:erred to an unprofessional Gentleman in
that House; and satisfactorily settled in half an hour. 1,
Such a story as this, in the present temper of Hon. and
Learned Gentlemen, would be treated as a gross ca-
lumny on the whole profess on. For his part, he thought
the advice to abide by the arbitration perfectly sound
advice, and he did not see why this opin;on might not
be entertained, without giving personal offence to any
Gentleman, who had given, or who might expect to be
called upon to give a legal opinion on the subject. Pro-
fessional Gentlemen naturally liked professional em-
ployment, and this was a law of nature, from which,
even the Opposition—and, in the history of Parliament,
there never was an Opposition so entirely composed cf
Lawyers—was not exempt—(A laugh). He Meant to
say nothing in the slightest degree disrespectful of what I
be deemed an honourable, and a magnificent profession ;
but certainly there was a disposition in all professions
to get as much employment as possible, and in that desire it was
not too much to say, that lawyers participated quite as much as
other mew.
Mr. ARERCROMBY did not object to the general annuls&
in this Pedtion, but to the unfounded charges whiohhad been wadi
upon particular individuals.
Dr. LUSHINGTON, after entering into some details
of the case, observed, that be thought . that Sir John
Malcolm would have adopted a more prudent course,
had he refrained, while the cast was sub judice, from
praising those who were appointed to be his Miss, and from com-
plaining of those wbo were opposed to hint.
Sir H. HARDINGE, us allusions to the p.mphlet that
had been pub:ished on the que,tion, described it as a
'calninnious and unjust attack, and said that he. was
coueinced that it could not have been written by Col.
Wood, or by any other Officer. In h;s opinion, the
Duke of Wellington was quite free from reproach, and had acted
throughout with the greatest judgment.
BROUGHAM said, that he had read only hisg
'the pamphlet ; but so far as he had read, he thought
the statements correctly given, and b no degree over,
charge.i. If, however, the pamphlet was a libel, the
way to put' it down was to make it the subject of .an
.I#tion at IaW.(A laugh). The gallant officer might•
!speak
i i
long as he liked in defence of the Duke' Of
&newton and use as many hard words as he pleased,
• r •••
but it would do nn good. He was surprised that the
IA A& Of ..Wellington could rest satisfied with general
gppealtiettlbaracter., instead of at once bringing an
aetioalrgitost the Publisher of the pamphlet. The ques-
tion should be decided not ego the pp m,* statamilted tbellabot
Officer, but on the 'Warn etildericidif competent Witnesses. . • •

his own private objects in going to the tape, hls ease should re-
ceive favourable consideration.
The Petition was then brought up, and ordered to be printed.
Mr. BROUGHAM presented a Petition from George Gray,
complaining of sertaio privileges belooging to or assumed by the
Corporation of Newbury, la the County of Berks.
Mr. BROUGHAM rose to present a Petition of ra-

complaining of oppressionland severity exercised upon a
poor man there, on proceedings out of a civil bill pro-

where the poor man resided. It was a tithe case, and
he (Mr. Brougham) could not but complain that Cler-
gymen sitting as Magistrates had been active iodise op-
pressirn of the Petitioner.
After a few words from Mr. GaATTAK, the Petition was brought
up and ordered to lie en the table.
GOUTY AMERICA.

Mr. Secretary CANNING rose to give an answer ton
question that had been asked by the Honourable li.tens•
beg for Taunton (Mr. Baring), on a preceding night.
That Hon. Gentleman had asked, why an Enioy from
the Government of Buenos Ayres had not been pre-
sented to his Majesty as such ? and from such omission,
had drawn the inference that his presentation was op.
posed by some other foreign Pourer. That • inference
was at least rashly drawn, and in giving an answer to
the question that had been put, be would begin by ne-
ativing the inference in the most positive mariner—
(Hear). There had not been the slightest intervention
in the case on the part of any other Government, and
had there been, it would have been without success-
-(Harr, hear). The fact was. that the person •alluded
to was not sent exclusively to this country, but was
Envoy Plenipotentiary to his Majesty and to the Court
of France ; and he (Mr. Canning) thought that he was
not paying too much respect to England, when he said
that she had at least a tight to a whole Ambassador for
her own share—(Haar, hear). .It-eras a* rule that he
thought should never be departed from, though he
knew that a notion had got abroad that the new States
ought to have something better and more than the old
ones ; but it was his opinion that . enough was done,
when they were brought into the established commu-
nity of nations, and he considered it to be his duty to
recommend exactly as much respect to be paid to them
as to the oldest and most despotic Governments—(Hear,
hear). The paper that the Envoy alluded to had pro-
duced was certainly a snfacient credential is between
himself add his own Government, bat it was not suit;
clear lia betiviten England and Buenos Ayres. He had ,
an additional reason to regret the Honourable Gentle,
man's absence, as hi-understood -that he had alluded
to another transaction., in which a Gentleman in part-
nership with d commercial house id the city, bad been
appointed Consul-General for a Foteiga State, and. had
called upon him for the pprpose of entering into a dis-
cussion of st--ve4y
-important-question.; He, boyever.
had positively lamed to listen to hispi,•or.evest to 14
him again id. that capacity, such is
,sfuCretlon on hit
part being nothing more toan.nctiet-on the principle
that every coutitry has -a right to refuse. or accept the
Ambassador sent to it.
.• The new State might certainly
persist in the course it had :`adopted, but -it was co'•
tainly very hard if England was tti be forced by it to
descend from the high ground on which it stood; but
he had had another objection, and he was not sorry at
having that opportunity to say a word about it : no
man was ignorant of the speculations that were_taking
place in this country with regard to the Continent of
South America, and of the changes that followed. any
fluctuations in those speculations, and, therefore, he
thought that it would be •highly blameable in him to
acknowledge as Envoys from those States any British Meditate
--(Wear, bear), and, itipurmance of tae amen which be bad In
that instance adopted, he bad entail to hisjesty's Charge

of course, no farther objection would letreffered to his competency.
Mr. BROUGHAM concurred in Wilk of policy which the
Right Honourable Gentleman had pursued. He thought that there
eight to be no distinction between the new States and those of
Prance and Holland.
Mr. Secretary CANNING said a few words, which were in-
audible in the Gallery.
Sir R. WILSON presented a Petition from a Parish in the
County of Kent, praying for Negro Emancipatian.—Ordered to
tie on the table.
Mr. HUME presented a Petition from the inhabitants of See-
*swordb and another place, in favour of Mr. clonday.—Laid on
the table.

THE QUARTER'S REVENUE-OFFICIAL .
RETURNS..

r 4

We are this day enabled w present the Official
Returns of the Revenue for the Quarter just ended:
which, it will be seen. more than justify the very gr-aiiii•
ing account we excluiively rive of it itt the
_STAR Of
yesterday. We then estinmed the increase of the

CUVOMS for the Quarter over the corresponding Quar-
ter last year, at 1,920,9301.; but it will be seen that the•
increase is 1,9384711. This, large aogmeat‘tiou .0f
the Customs is, as we stated, owing tl a portion Of -
the Excise Duties having been transferred to this branch

of the Revenue. We allude ;A the duties on. as tiales
ported,'which, since the sth of April last, have been
transferee(' from the Excise to the Customs. If, how-
ever, we take the Excise and the Customs together, we
shall find this theie is in the two, collectively, a very
sensible and important increase.
The amount of the Customs and Excise for u
Quarter ending the .sth of July, 1824, was 7,980,4084
that for the Quarter which 'ended yesterday, 8,183,4961•
exhibiting an increaseon the Quarter just ended, over that
of the corresponding Quarter of last Year.of 225,0781.0 t
at the rate of nearly a million a.year; and this too,
notwithstanding the reduction of duties and a drawback
on Silk and Wine, during the last Quarter, to a la►ge
amount.

The Revenue for the year ending the sth of .duly,

1824, it will be seen, by reference to the Official Re.
turns,was 50,412,592/. that for the year ending yesterday,
49,626,1931. exhibiting a decrease on the year of
786,3991. but then we must takeinto comidetation that
the receipts of the year 18:4, include*. a :stinn of
2,500,000/. repaid by. AnstriX, and if we &Ask( this
sum, which was happily enough denominated a a Gen

send," we.shall End chit the actual Revenue of 19244
raised in the' •country, wit' only 47,912,5921. or

1,710011. less than the yeti ihich terminated yesterday.
The Returns Of the last Quarter are as gratifying

those of they ear, taken in the aggregate. The Revenue
for the Quarter ending 6th Ju1y,1824, 'was 11,989,4801.
that for the Quarter. wlsieh ended yesterday, 12,493,5211.
exhibiting an increase bf 504,0411. or at the rate ottwo

stoms and Excise jointlj ; and it will be 4411111 tat in
every one of the branches of the Revenuithere is an

" His HALFWIT is happy to be able to announce to you
that he receives from all Foreign Powers the strongest
assurance of their friendly disposition to this country.
and of their desire to maintain the general peace;
while his MAJESTY regrets the continuance of the war
iu the East Indies with the Burmese Government, he
trusts that the gallant exertions of the British and Na-
', tive forces employed in operations in the enemy's ter-
ritory, may lead to a speedy and satisfactory termina-

tiJn of the contest.
Gent/emus of the Howe of Commons,

" We have it in command from his MAJESTY 10 thank
you for the Supplies which you have granted to him for
the service of the preient year, and at the same time to
express the t sfic tio n which he derives from the re•
duction you have found it practicable to make in the
*burthens of his people.
" My Lords and Gentlenten,

" MAJUTY has commanded us to assure you,
that be is highly sensible of the advantages which
must result from the measures you have adopted in bus
course of this Session, for extending the commerce of
his subjects, by the removal of unnecessary and incon-
venient restrictions, and from the beneficial relaxations
which you have deemed it expedient to introduce into
the colonial system of this country.

" These measures his MAJESTY is persuaded will
evince to his subjects in those distant possessions, the
solicitude with *sigh Parliament watchei over their
welfare s they tend to cement and consolidate the in-
terests of the Colonies with those of the Mother Country;.
and his MAJESTY confidently trusts that they will con-
.tribute.to promotathat general and increasing prospe-
*yin which his hissuarrr had the happiness of congra-
tulating you on the opening of the present Session, and
..which, by the blessing of Paovsnatmi, continues to
pervade every part of his Kingdom."
, At the conclusion of the Speech, the LORD CHAN-
CELLOR said, My Lords and Gentlemen, I am, by
virtue of a Commission under the Great Seal to us and
other Lords directed, commanded by his MAJILITY to,
declare that Mims it is prorogued."
HOUSE OF COMMONS.

At a few minutes before three o'clock, theSPeAKen
entered the House, and the. Chaplain proceeded to
read the prayers, which he had just concluded, when
the House was summoned by Sir T. TTAWHITT, the
Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, to attend in the
House of Peers, to hear the Speech for proroguing the
Parliament read. The &MAIM, attended by a number
of Members, then proceeded to the House of Lords, and
on their return, the SPSAKEit stated that he had.pro-
cured at copy of the Speech, which was then read in
the House of Commons, which was immediately
prorogued.

Notwithstanding the doubts some of our contempt).
rashes caress as to the. Treaty between Manic° and this country,
we understand letters are in own of the Ist of May, which state,
that it was ratified by Congress, and that the departure of Mr.
Moans, who is to be **bearer of it to this country, was fixed for
the 10th of that moth.

We have received Charleston Rapers to the Slit of
May, and PhftadelPhla Papers to the nth of June. Mr. Nora, of
New York, is said to have purchased, as an agent, Grand bland,
as " an asylum," says the American Paper, " to the Jewish nation*
where they may find a refuge front Jewish oppression."

Accounts from Barbadoes state, that the announcement of some
expected Methodist kissionaries, in as curly part of April, bad
excited some commotion, and it was feared their landing would
be opposed.

pse of these papers state that Lord Coca:mom, op the Stb of May
last, waled' Maranhatn, inking for the payment of two hundred
thonsind dollars, due t. him for his senkes, which was paid him
by Instalments as the duties were collected.

This forenoon we received Frankfort and other
German Papers to the SOth ultimo. According to an article
from (Licosa, of the 13th of June, accounts had been re-'
mind from Constantioople of the 7th of that month, stating that
the Captain Pad's had been attacked an the 26th May, near Mity-
lest, by Admiral Smarm: ; but had, notwithstanding, continued
his voyage, with loomosiderable loss, to the neighbourhood of ffea.
Oa the With May, fmenvoar, it is stated, again attacked him be-
twee* Zea and Caro d'Ore, destroyed his frigates and one brig, be-
sides twenty smaller vessels, which were partly taken and partly
sunk. After this disastrom affair the Captain PAcna fled back
again towards Andros, is order, if possible to reach Mitylcne.
This same account states, that several letters from Constantinople

Winn that the Marquis Gaavosso, the new Sardinian Ambassa-
who had just arrived in that city, sod has passed through those
seas, had been an eye-witness of these events.
Should this Intelligence be tree, it will account for the Captain
Patin not assisting Iseanua on more rational grounds than an
aversion to act with the Egyptian Commander.
The diltermine Zeittissiof the 29th alt. says, it may be doubted
whether the American mullet will prove so important to the ma-
nufactures of Gerusany as was expected ; observing, however, that
it maypreve better as they become better acquainted with it. A
ludicrous proof of the ignorance of the articks really wasted in
South America manifested itself by the owner of an iron foundry
sending out a cargo of chamber stoves to Hayti, without•refletting
that in that hot climate there is no need of heating the rooms with
German stoves. We ought, not, however, to laugh at the Gertnab
icorkfounder, since when, during ciao last war,, Monte Video &Az
Buenos Ayres were fee a short time opened to us, our nrauufac-1
turers sent out bed-war mere,and even skatosto a people who did nut
even know that water congealed into ice ! The Get man speculator,
0,4 was more fortunate than our adventurer; for, -although the
Ilaytians did not want stoves, yet they did want cast iron, and gav
' ageritriem fortbem as rtw materials to be melted down. Not so
with the brass and popper pans we scut out, for they were filed iu

and sold as told dui to the English supercargoes ind or.

The opposition to the airline*, both here and in Franii, seems to
have more of pique than anything else in it. .
The French Papers contahr some accounts from Greece, but we
art weary of the vague and contradictory statements teat are put
forth on this subject. One thing appeari certain, that although
Navarino snag have fallen, and Rznactristi Parma has penetrated to
Missolonghi and Anatolico, yet something, for the7present at least,
arrests the further progress of the Albanian and Egyptian armies.
—lt is not now denied that a numerous body of French military
dicers are employed in the service of the Fiche of gam; and
that, though now fighting against the Greeks, they are still al-
lowed to retain their French commissions, and to receive their
half-pay. In this conduct the Liberal Journals discover the hos-
tility of the Ministers to Greek freedom, and the ultras their
jealousy of English ccmmercial ascendancy. French influence in
Egypt, they say, is to be a compensation for English influence in
South America! We are glad to see the French find so ready a
consolation ; but it does not follow that we shall lose our trade
with Egypt, because we increase it in youth America, since Bri.
tish commerce, and British manufactures, like the fabled arms of
Briareus, can extend everywhere. Intelligence froni Madrid, to
the 24th ult. informs us that the KING, the Quemi, and the rest
of the Royal Family returned to that Capital on the 224.

11Th iIfEAIAES:

KINGIS THEATRE.

Last eight a most numerous and fashionable audience
were assembled at this Theatre, to witness the third re-
presentation of a Crocialo is Egitio. At au early hour
nearly every box was filled with company', and before
the curtain drew up a seat in the pit was 'not to be ob-
tained. Signor VaLt.trrs was much more .successful
than on either of his former appearances, because having
overcome his timidity, he gave fuller scope to his ptfters.
Mademoiselle GARCIA sustained the character of Felicia
extremely well ; the Opera also derived considerable
support from Madame CARADORI, who sang the very
expressive aria Ah wire rAnget• in her best style.—
Ctratoxt and Ressoatus also played wi.h their usual
success. The opera was followed by the ballet of La
Comets Sounds&

DRURY.LANS.
After the comedy of The Jealous Wife, the promised
pageant of the Coronation of the King of France was
proloced last night at this Theatre. It is really most
.splendid, and got up in the best style. The panoramic
views "are admirable, even as specimens of art; and
the scenic decorations excellent for splendour and ills.
sion.• The dialogue which introduces the shew, pre-
sents the adventures of an eloped daughter and.
apprentice of. a London pawnbroker, chased by the
latter and hip housekeeper from Brighton to Rheims.
Arrived at Dieppe, a steam-vessel is represented, by
means of a moving panorama, passing along the coast
of France to the mouth of the Seine, and up the river,
by Rouen, to Paris. The views presaged la the course
of this voyage, along the coast and the banks of the
river, from Dieppe, by Molineaua, Rouen, Mantes,
&c. are unequaifrd specimens, io this kind; of land-
scape, and architectural, and, it may be said, Marine
painting, under rich and beautiful varieties of arson-
light and n'orning tint. The Uelt grand view jal.the
%amp under the wails of Rheirrist with the city:itself ;
and then the interior of Rheims, with A view of the
cathedral. Now comes the proOssion on. its way to
church. To describe this scenesvoold be to repeat the
programme; suffice it then to say;. that the stage, re-
presenting the principal stieet of 'Rheims, with the
outside of the cathedral, is crowded With 'spectators;
that the procession, in Which are duly ranged military,
ecclesiastic, and heraldic persons—Princes* Pages,
Marshals of France, Foreign Ambassadors, the King,
his train of. Cardinals, Archbishops, atc. ascends a
platform and passes round the pit, by a balcony con-
trived immediately before with magic celerity along the
front of the dress circle; returns on the other side of
the stage, and goes off Lastly is presented the 'in-
terior of the Cathedral, gorgeously resplendent with
thrones, altars, galleries, banners, the Monarch and his
refulgent attendance; the plumed Knights and Ladies,
spectators of the ceremonial, which is now gone through
in its principal details, as the girding on of the sword
of Charlemagne, the putting on of the Crown, the
spurs, the robing and the unrobing—until finally, the
monarch ascends a grand platform, seats himself upon
a lofty throne, and amidst the buzzaing of his subjects
the curtain falls. It would be unjust to omit a
happy selectioo of French airs in the overture by Mr.
BISROP; some Church music of superior merit, and
several very beautiful glees, by Mr. T. Coors, and one
or two pretty airs; by Mr. HORN* The pronession was
enthuSiastically applauded, and a repetition
amidst unanimous and lively expressions of approbation.

I usual, excellent in their respective parts; and Miss Slg•
PITENS sang with all her uneqnalled taste, sweetness.
science, and execution ; she was encored repeatedly, and
particularly in a very pretty Scotch melody. There's a
tear that falls when we part from a friend. The music
of the Opera is pleasing, and tastefully selected. Mr.
Buoaustuttsr and Mr. THORNE sung with much taste,
though with limited power.
The peat object of attraction, however, was a young
Lady, (a pupil of Miss KELLY'S) who sustained the part
of Mrs. Woodland, and of 'whose performance sse are
enabled to speak in terms of the highest commendation.
This accomplished young Lady possesses every qualifi..
cation for the stage, both natural and acquired: her
figure is genteel and Lady-like, her voice distinct and
melodious, and her general appearance and-deportment
highly prepossessing. Her first appearance was greeted
with loud testimonials of approbation from 'all parts of
the Mouse.—We should not omit to state, that the C'w
lonel and the Captain, as well as the Corporal, were
united to the objects of their fist affection. Some cur-
tailments of the d'alogue, particularly in the third act,.
would make the Opera go off more lightly and agree-
ably, and insure it a continuance of the very dectuic d
success it met with last evening.

BALLAD—(I3m.).
There's a tear—that falls when we part
From a friend, whose loss we shall mourn ;
There's a tear—.that Bows from the half-broken heart, .
When we think be may never return—Oh, never !
'Tia bard to be parted from those
With whom we for ever could dwell;
But bitter, indeed, is the sorrow that flows,
When, perbaps,.we are saying farewell—tor ever!
There's a tear—that brightens the eye
Of the friend, when absence is o'er ;
There's a tear—that flows not from sorrow, but joy,
When we meet, to be parted no more.—Oh, never I
Then all that in absence we dread,
Is past, and forgotten our pain;
For sweet is the tear at such moments we shed,
When we hold the lov'd object apin—for eyed
