in the Grand Music Room, and opened with the Overture,
and several pieces of Rogan; l's Opera of tsentiramide,
after which they played a symphony of Moz A RT'S in Et most
masterly style, this was followed by some of the finest com-
positions of the most eminent composers, all of which were
highly approved of by their MAJESTIES, who expressed
their gratification in the most condescending manner.—
These concerts will be continued every evening during
Easter week.

This forenoon his MAJESTY took an airing in an open
carriage, accompanied by Mrs. Fox and Lord VALLETORT.
The Royal party left the Castle as usual at three o'clock
this afternoon, in three phaetons and on horseback. The
KING, Princesses, and Mrs. Fox took the lead in a double-

TIES proceeded by Old Windsor and Egham, and return-
ing by Englefield Green, Bishops-gate, and the Long Walk,

VERY IMPORTANT COUNTY MEETING.

We stated in our last number that a requisition to the High Sheriff
had been signed, calling upon him to convene a meeting of the free.
holders and inhabitants of this county, to consider the propriety of pe-
titioning for a reform in parliament. Intimation had some time ago
been given to the Sheriff that such a requisition was in course of signa-
ture; and ten days ago, at least, the Under Sheriff wu also informed
of it. On Thursday last it was delivered to the latter gentleman, bearing
the signatures of the Duke of Grafton, the Earls Spencer, Winchilsea,
and Pomfret; Lords Sondes and Milton; Sir William Wake and
Sir George Robinson, Baronets ; the Honourable' Dundas and
Pery ; Edw. Bouverie and Chas. Hill, Esqrs ; the Messrs. Whit.
worth, Percival., Peaches. Heygates, Gotches—and upwards of seventy
noblemen and gentlemen of the first character and importance in the
county. The subject for the consideration of the proposed meeting is
of vital consequence to the best interests of the country, affecting u it
does the highest and most important privileges of the people of England.
To a requisition so signed, and after such notice given of its intended
presentation, will it be believed that day after day has passed away, and
as yet no time is fixed for the holding of the meeting ! It is said the
sheriff is sojourning in Devonshire, at a distance of two hundred
miles. Is that a reason why the business of the county is to stand
still ? We should have supposed, if the youth and inexperience of the
sheriff had inclined him, who stands In the character of the representative
of his Majesty, to so fax forget his duty, that the shrewd sagacity and
acuteness for business of Mr. Under-Sheriff Burton would otherwise
have counselled the sheriff, and instilled into his mind that it became
incumbent upon him to take care not to neglect his public duty by
residing at such a distance as to cause a delay in the business of the
county. So stands the matter at present ; but we will assure our readers
that the moment the Sheriff issues his fiat for holding a County Meet-
ing, means will be taken to inform the public of it ; and if he does not
fix the time in a day or two, one will be called without kis sanction or
authority, when we trust that the inhabitants of this great and important
county will not be backward in testifying their willingness to support
his Majesty and his Government in the glorious work of Reform
Northampton Fru Press.

COVEN :'.GARDEN THEATRF-

A new comedy, called he Err!Wks, we: produced at this theatre
last night. It is an attempt—a bale ooc--by a fmeigner, to describe,
in a dramatic form. the ht.hits of English society. This circum-
stance would, in any case, f..irly entitle it to indulgenc.., and more
than entitles It to praise, Lavin:; be.-n successful. It was ex.
tremely yell received throughout, and in many passe.es lordly ap-
plauded. The subject of the drama, and the ineitlents of which
It is composed, are not very new ; but the immagcnient of thou
displays no mean Jr. matic skill, and, considtring the difecultie,
which must lk in tie way of any arm who is not to oar
" manner born," greet i...enuity and observation. Looking ; t it
with critiuti should be compelkd qty that .he potions

rect ; ;but being dn. wn, as they must of meessity be, tiren, .lie sources
which lie nearest to the aothorea th_y Lenr a sufikien;
to .he common fete m.os of very caiouton society. It is not, however,
necessary that, in olds to an ke ao a. tisin; play, teithor should
be perfectly conversant with the war} in , shades and loc.l colouring ct
society. It is enough if he ..an catch the more remit: In lineaments,

sites has done: he has b,side: mixed up a certain dc2,ree 0. interest
in his play, s. fowl, if it does not ..ake it equal to Tome of those
which tom the of ms country, ht r t least far
superior to the bald tramentiena and vampinlo-up the..tre, from time to
time, foisted t you the public. The story of the pia) tortest► in the
adventures of a citizen laid his famih, he, 1111Vil`ki ;i,r‘A.n rich, are re.
solved to melte themselves fashionable, ta.e. the of e Causal Val.
moist and a Alia Erchafale, r no turns out to b: ;be sis..t of a Lord
Caotkton. The humour,. ut variors Exquisitcs, noble, military, rural,
and sporting, are introduced to supply t;:c comic parts, ;310 these are the
weakest of the play. The moral is, that tr.-dem:co should keep to their
own rank, and that foreign coon. nut be a very hot.:•t man the first
poiet helm, ir.diaputablc, and tic hoter beiag, unhamily for the
author's theory, very often contradicted, cs rut only the creditors of
the Chevalier de Ilahrilk, but the utemb,-rs of wary a respee.able
family, whose disgrace and misery ere nu: A,.;ide public, to th.ir bat, r
Cost can testify. The play was very strom.,,lr cast, imd well played.—
We have already said it was applauded, ma the aanotiacement of its
repetition on Alond.7 most favourably leveled. Ptrhaps the success
of this, his firs: attempt in dramatic writing, may induce the author to
turn his attention to the stage, for which has eviaced considerable
capacity. The theatre of his own country is rich in subjects, which,
by a skilful hand, might be well transplanted—nut trunslateti—and,
among mnny others, El side las Nitta, and La Alogigala, would fur.
nish characters and incidents of which he might avail himself very pro-
fitably.

ITALY.

It is certain that the Austrians have received orders not
to enter Rome.—Gazette de France.

Every one this evening continues to be occupied with the
consequences of the negociations, relative to the occupation
of Romagna by Austria. We are assured, that the com-
munications made by Austria are favourable to the main-
tenance of peace ; and that the Ambassador has
given explanations upon the occupation, that it will
be but momentary, andto re-establish order. It is
added, that the mediation of England has been admitted
by the two contending powers, and that Austria makes
great protestations of disinterestedness. This intelligence
has been commented upon, by the friends of ministerial
temporising, wbo extol themselves for the result obtained !
What result in fact 1 No person can ever think but Austria
will definitively seise Romagna. That which she proposes

is accomplished ; she has destroyed the popular and national
government ; she has brought back the bigotted despotism of
Rome. It is possible that Austria may evacuate Romagna ;
but she has rendered the revolution abortive, and that is pre_
clkely what France should have prevented !—Courrit,

SWEDEN AND DENMARK.

Our correspondence from the North tells us of prepara.
lions, which are making upon all points, to carry the dif-
ferent contingencies to a grand completion— not even except.
ing the cities of Lubeck and Bremen, which equip and arm,
Denmark moves equally its contingencies fot the Duchies
of Schleswig and Holstein. The nephew of the king,
Prince Frederick Augustenbourg, will have the command.—
Journa/ de Paris.

STOCKHOLM, MARCH 18.—We are assured this day
that there will arrive in the Baltic, at the cen-mencement of
the summer, an English and French fleet. As may be well
thought, this intelligence causes here the most lively sensa.
tion. Our politics are exhausted in conjecturing upon th,
frequent exchange of couriers, which has taken place foi
about a month, between Petersburgh and Stockholm.
The Augsburgh Gazette speaks thus :—" Our military
authorities are very much occupied in completing our federal
contingent, because, from the instructions emanating from
the Diet, it must arrive, before the end of April, upon the
frontiers of Luxembourg. The opinion of an approaching
and probable war, becomes daily more general, and influ-
ences already the prices of several articles of commerce.—
Private letters from Sweden assure us, that the Emperor of
Russia has demanded of the Swedish Government to dispose
itself to execute the clauses of the treaties passed by the
Holy Alliance, and which obliges it to furnish an auxiliary
corps of 10,000 men. This news is also in the journals of
Stockholm."

FACT THE THISD•
POTAToE-0•111DENING ST THE Pool.—The Bishop of Bath and
Wells, the old and valued correspondent of this Society both by precept
and example, has been using his endeavours to impress the importance
of letting small plots of land to the labours r. His Lordship let seventy
acres of glebe land many years sir ce, in small lots, and therehy produced
the greatest stimulus to the industry ot his humble tenantry. Toe Bishop
is stilt followimr up the same useful and approved polity, as may be
seen by an abstract of a communication from the Rev. Richard Warner,
of Castle-Cary, llomersetahire ; on the mode adopted by the worthy
Bishop, to improve the condition of the labourer.
The present Bishop of Bath and Wells (Dr. George Henry Law,)
conceived, and brought it into effect in 1807, at his living in NVilling-
ham in Cambridgeshire. In all his subsequent removals be has carried
the idea and the practice of it with him ; and, since 1827, has had the
high gratification of seeing it in beneficial action, upon thirtyseight
acres of the episcopal land, in the immediate vicinity of his Lordship's
palace.
It may be well, however, to premise, that the labouring poor them.
selves, are so much aware of the great advantages which they can
derive from potatoc-gardening, as to be anxious to rent a plot of ground
for this purpose, on the most exorbitant terms. Within these three years
I have known several acres of the glebe of a village, three miler front
Wells, to have been let in small portions, at the rate of eight pounds per
acre : and at Shepton-Mallet, a few miles %tom my own residence, land
was let last year to the poor, for potatoe.culture, at the rate of 5.3.1.
per lug (or perch), that is, 101. per acre ; the occupation of the plot to
commence when the potatoes are planted, and to cease as soon as they
are dug up and carried off.
The 38 saes before mentioned, being free front tithe, poor rates, and
highway duties, are worth 21.105. per acre; and consequently if let to
• farmer, would return a rent of 951. pet annum.
This tract of land is divided into quarters of acres (excepting some
few half acres) or plots, each containing 40 lugs or perches,
These lots are let to as many diferent tenants, thus accommodating,
upon an average, 140 individual families.
Bach renter has his lot, not only for the whole year, but for the term
of his Lordship's episcopate, provided his good conduct render him de-
serving of such favour.
The rent of each quarter of an acre is twelve shillings and sixpence
payable at Christmas; out of which the Bithnp morns two and six-
pence to each renter, if merited by proper behaviour.

After some remarks on the Belgians question, the Yes-
gaper continues la fact, neither the Duke of Leach-
tenburg nor the Duke of Nemours will give stability and
absolute independence to Belgium; and its true interests, we
frankly repeat it, would lead it to become again French.
" Now the question has taken the direction that is com-
pletely fare, it seems to us that the true interest of France
ii not to trouble ourselves any farther abort the election at
Brussels, but to leave the Belgians to do as they please.
The neutrality of Belgium must be agreed to : this principle
covers our whole frontiers on that side, and is the only mea-
sure useful to France that the Congrees at London has
adopted in this whole affair."
" It is said that the Chamber of Deputies, in the secret
committee yesterday, beard the report of the committee on
the scheme for the budget of 1831. The President of the
Chamber has consented to a reduction of 20,000 francs,and
the questors to a reduction of 6,000 each on their salaries :
this will be a saving of 30,000 francs. •
" It is thought that proposals will be made in the Cham-
ber for a more osasidsrablo reduction. The rent of the
hotel, occupied by the Chamber, is 130,000 francs, be-
sides the tax of 28.000 francs ; and that of the hotel,
occupied by the President, 30,000 francs. It is affirmed
that the heirs of the Duke of Bourbon are willing to agree
to a considerable diminution."

Gentlemen, that he manufactures Trusses upon an Irn-

It is difficult to explain the nature with which some
Nouns are kept from descending, and very frequently
to almost bid defiance to every kind of Trues to retain the
I:::pture.

H. W. flatters himself, from the number of years' ex-
wince, to have a competent knowledge in eecuring the
:nost obstinate Cases of Ruptures with which persons have
teen afflicted a number of years.
H. W. manufactures a variety of Trusses to the construc-
tion of the Body, and has never had any Case of Hernia
without being able to reduce it to its relative situation,

Tuts CROPII.—In the neighbourhood of York, and we
believe generally throughout the county, the crops present
the most luxuriant appearance. A gentleman who has tra-
velled very extensively in the Eut Riding, informs us, that
he never saw the country look better—lndeed on sandy soils,
the crops are better than he ever remembered them. Oats
are particularly good. We have similar accounts from the
West and North Ridings. Part of a field of oats was cut at
Acomb, on Thursday last.

As the amount of tithes has been much misstated, we beg
to subjoin a statement of the sums paid in 1806, 1808, 1810,
and 1812—taken from parliamentary documents—drawn
up from returns, furnished, not by the clergy, but by the
farmers.

PANORAMA OF THE BRITISH

tars of the Domestic Events of the Empire, as never
before was attempted. It gratifies unspeakably the natives
of districts who reside in London and distant counties, and
is a LETTER PROM Home to every provincial in foreign
countries, or in the colonies. It raises also into general
importance the exertions of local talents in every public
cause. Then as this is a duty performed alone by the STAR
those local patriots would ill deserve their name, if the STAR
and its interests were not reciprocally promoted by them in
every district. We know it has been so in many places, and
the STAZ in principles, and in all the best qualities of a
paper, has justified preference +but we reasonably expect
the same attentions 'VERY wine's, as the means of at
once recompensing our diligence, and adding to the utility of
our valuable and excise's* information. We call also on the
Provincial Proprietors of Papers, whose local labours we
thus illustrate, and invite with earnestness their powerful
attentions in promoting those interests of the Paper which
they best understand. We notoriously excel all London
Papas in priority of Foreign News, and our display of the
transactions of the country is equally exclusive and pre-
ruhtent.

THE KING AND THE SURGEONS OF THE NAB Y. —The
Duke of Clarence, as Lord High Admiral, paid as much
attention to the medical officers of the fleet as to any officer
in the service. They were admitted to personal interviews
whenever they had business of sufficient importance that
could warrant such intrusion. I could mention many, both
physicians. surgeons, and assistant-surgeons, for whom his
Royal Highness showed the greatest regard, and whose in-
terests were c.romotud by him to the utmost of his power ;
and I till venture to affirm that, whether as a Prince of the
Blood Royal, as Lord High Admiral of the Seas, or as King
of Great Britain, his Majesty has entertained, and ever
will entertain " every kind feeling" towards the medical
officers of his fleet.—Lancet.

THE PRINCESS VICTORIA.—The following will be in-
teresting to all persons, but especially to our readers at Tun-
bridge-Wells : " A controversy has arisen as to the state of
health of the heiress presumptive, which makes me desirous
of stating, from personal knowledge, the real fact of the
case. Her Royal Highness is in perfect good hcalth, and
eats, drinks, and sleeps accordingly. She is in excellent
spirits, talks constantly, and is able to bear considerable ex-
ertion in the course of her studies, to which she pays unusual
attention for her years. Of all that has been said of the de-
licate state of her health these is no truth beyond this—that'
she has been from her infancy, and still is, peculiarly weak
al her legs ; and that a slight cold, or fatigue, not unfre-
plentiv disables her from walking, to which she has never
been much accustomed. This circumstance has been mag-
nified into a diseased constitution ; but, from my own expo-
nonce, I can state that assumption to be altogether unfound-
ed.—Brighton Gazette.
London, England, 1831-04-09

c.lndemned by the military commission, and will be executed to.
morrow. This arbitrary and cruel proceeding combines one circum-
stance, which has no preeedent-.-namely, an execution in the holy
week. The prisons are crowded, and we anticipate many similar scenes,
u arrests are made every night.

7hougb part of the conspiracy is discovered, I am led to believe
%Lase liberals, that the grand scheme remains intact. How true thiN
nsTy be. T am not able to judge ; but certainly, since my residence in
Spain. I have never observed this party express its hopes so sanguinely
as at this moment, which is the more extraordinary front the check
they have just received from the Government. At Cadix an extraordi-
nary vigilance is pursued by the pollee, particularly towards foreigners
who arrive at that place. An English officer arrived there from GI.
Walter, and notwithstanding the protection of the British consul, his
papers were seised, and he was ordered away. He ultimately received
petmlsaion to proceed to Seville, but was ordered to kccp himself at
home (which was the consul's house) during his stay at Cadiz,
on pain of being arrested, if met in the streets. This is occasioned by
the public demonstration exhibited in favour of the refugees at Gi-
braltar, which had caused the government to look with much jealtursy
upon Englishmen."

COURT CIRCULAR.

Despatches were sent off flow the Colonial Office on
Thursday evening, for Lord Aylmer, the Governor of
Lower Canada.

The Duke of Sussex made his personal inquiries yester-
day after the health of his Royal Relative, and visited the
Duchess of Gloucester.

The Duke of Glouceriter is recovering very fast from his
indisposition. His Royal Highness passed a very good
night on Thursday night, and on Sir Henry Haiford visit-
ing his Royal Highness, yesterday morning, he found the
Royal Duke so much improved that he did not think it
necessary to issue a bulletin. The verbal answer given to
the inquirers yesterday t; as, that his Royal Highnes was
going on very well.

MASQUERADE AT THE KING'S THEATRE.
Messrs. Lapotte, Lane, and Barrymore gave last night, the first of a
series of Masquerades. The Theatre, which was tastefully fitted up
for the occasion. was upon a much better and more extensive scale
than any entertainment of the kind for some years back. There
was the usual variety of characters, and the majority of them were,
es usual, but indifferently supported. Some few footmen, who mocked
reality almost too well, and a monkey, with his attendant group of or-
ganist, leader, &c. seemed to take the palm from all the rest. The
boxes and gallery were tilled with spectators, who appeared considerably
amused by the motley scene. The entertainment was kept up till an
advanced hour of the morning.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

A new Tragedy was acted for the first time last night under the title
of The Pledge, or Castilian lloni,ur, and met with complete and de-
served success. I termini, the Tragedy by Vtcroa Moo, excited
about a year ago in Paris so much interest and attention, that the ex-
periment of producing it before a London audience was thought worth
tlie trial. For the present translation and adaptation the theatrical
public are indebted, we believe, to Mr. KRNIICT, who has done
ample justice to his subject, and accomplished his task with equal
judgment and ability. The plot of the piece afforded many
strikingly affecting and highly dramatic situations. These situa- '
tions received adequate justice from the performers, who seemed all
fully possessed with the spirit of their parts. klacattapv, WALLACE,
and Course., have seldom performed better, not excepting their acting
in Werner, while Miss Pain.urs was certainly never seen to greater
advantage. Besides the applause which accompanied the striking points
that occurred in nearly every scene, there were long-continued plaudits
at the conclusion of each act; and at the final fall of the curtain and
announcement of the piece for repetition, the favourable vet diet was
decided and unanimous.
