COVENT-GA RDEN.

The Opera of The Duenna was performed last night,
for the first time this season. The only novelty in the
cast was Madame Vssrais' first appearance in the cha-
racter of Don Carlos; and as that Lady is as often seen
with as without the inexpressibles, the nos t.:ty was no
gie.tt one. She sang Had I a Heart beani dully. Miss
PA TON gave, Adieu, thou dreary pile! with great ani-
mation, aided by those charms of science of which she
is so great a mistress. This was rapturously encored.
The acting pacts of the Opera was sustained with the
usual talent of the company.
In the Farce of 'Twas I, a senseless call was made
upon Madame VISTRIS to sing the song of Cheery Ripe,
because, we suppose, she mounts a ladder, and gathers
cherries. The music of the sang was not in the orchestra,
but being afterwards procured, Madame VESTRI3 gave
it in her best style.

WRITTEN A? lIANNWIIkt, NORTH 4

Oh ! deem not that Etona's lofty pile,
Aloha unfolds the blossoms of our iale;--
Here, too.behold an embryo of the world,
A wild Stne'r-bud by Time and Care Weird;
Where lie convolv'd. in secret half began,
Maroons and fruit that soon will court the Nit !
Here infant seers and tiney chieftains hide
Li dim humility theirfuture pride;
Here shoot, pmlific aping, in time to yield,
Plenty in valley, wood, and fruitful field.—
That strength of mind which gives to dawns the law,
The generalship that doll the team &moire;
Prowess to this the sturdy oak to bow;
To that the glory of the spade and plough !
Here lurk the rainbow-colours of the soul,
Lire's variouslasiions, hastening to their goal ;
Here ruthless Auger and Revenge appear.
And Love, that Sewer of Paradise, is here ;
With purple Pride, ambitious of the light,
Suspidon pale, and Envy's deadly blight;
Green Folly, Conning dark, and darker Woe,
And sacred Hope that blosimas midst the snow !
Here. too, the preface of that book appears,
Which all must read who live their threescore years;
A book of hieroglyphics, peon% by Pate,
Mysterious and pimple:l with long debate ;
• cims Experience foul'd with many a blot.
With errors snared, unknown, or heeded not :
In scandal only eloquent and terse,
libels on the universe.
Its title-page our silly childhood's eyes
Unthinking, the contents our youth surprise;
Maturity turns o'er with sneers each page,
And Sorrow is the " Finis" foe old age!

m Lea denhall-street. . • .
bin the motion of the Chairman (C. MARJORIBANKS.
Eq) a Dividend of 5 per Celt. was declared on the
company's capital stock for the half-year commencing
Di the tilt of July last, and ending on the sth of
moo. nest.
The Coll A MUM,: moved, that the Court confirm the
moldion at the last General Court, granting to Mr.
ti Arnytt the sum of i.soot. in- consequence of the
,s :itstained by that Gentleman, by the burning of the
t!lip FAme.
Air. R. Jacies(»; cordially approved of the motion.
The ter ms of the Resolution of the Court of Directors
' trik.ded great credit on them ; because, while th• y
ministered to the wants of Mr. Arnott, they carefully
h‘tained from introducing anything which could le rd
r:iller their Court ur the Court of Proprietrrs into any
rpretsi it of opinion as to the freedom of the Press, or
ti,. c .ndtict of the Bengal Government.
Mr. D. KtNerAtnn approved of the Itesolution so fat
o; it e cot to the relief of Mr. Arnott, who had been
post injustly persecuted ; but he did not think it went
gift enough. The conduct of Lord Amherst et 4,14, if
!Tr directly, at least indirectly, to have been censured
irr hi% conduct on that occasion.
Dr. Git.eatms was glad that justice, although tardy, had at
Icrei been done to Mr. Aiwa.
Mr. Hume took the same view of the question as Mr.
D. Kinnaird had done, and censured in strong terms
the relentless persecution with which Mr. Arnott had
been pursued.
Mr. LOWNDES made a long speech, the great object
of which was to chew that the Press was a most din.'
goons instrument, and had mainly contributed to
plunge the country into its present distressel state, by
eocotiraglng the formation of Joint Stock Companies.
After some farther observations from Capt. Maxrtetn, Mr.
CAITAOAN, and the CHAIRMAN, the motion was agteed to. _

Mr. itANsAL MAW ah amendment that there he laid
before the Court copies of documents and papers received fromf
the Government of genial, rkbtite to the Burmese war, and also
to the Ytatiny at Barratkpore, with the exception of such as were
of a secret nature.
Mr. Pollens seconded the amendment, which was put and ne-
gatived. only air hands being held up in support of it.
Mr. Itatanat Jaccsou moved that the Court be adjourned fur the
dispatch of the remainder of the business till the 18th of JanultrYs
Which, aftee considerable discussion, was agreed to.

TO TUE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT FREEMEN
OF SUDBURY.
Gramm ear,
IHAVE received at this place, to which I have re-
tired for a short time, for the benefit of my health, two Re.
quisitions from the Freemen of Sudbury, one of such Requisition:,
being signed by the Resident, and the other by the Non-resident
Freemen, and both inviting me to represent your ancient and re.
spectable BoroughinParliamentwhen the next dissolution shall occur.
I cannot but feel highly flattered by this kind and unlooked-for
Invitation, and in acceding to the request which such Requisitions
e ontain, and in offering myself to you as a Candidate, I consider it
due, both to you and myself, distinctly to state my Political Prin-
ciples, as the grounds on which I can alone expect the favour of
your suffrages.
I am sincerely and zealously attached to the Constitution as esta-
blished in this country, both in Church and State ; but I am a sin-
cere friend to those Dissenters whose political or religioss opinions
do not interfere with the safety of the State ; and above all I am
determined to support the great principles of Civil and Religious
Liberty. Notwithstanding such sentiments, I am, however, inimi-
cal to any concessions of poddcal power or influence being made to
the Roman Catholics, because I believe that Religion to be sub-
versive of good order, and even of national security.
I am attached to the measures of his Majesty's present Admini-
stration, because I conceive that the line of policy adopted by those
illustrious individuals has in a great measure tended to raise this
country to that enviable state of wealth, and honour, and happiness,
which all nations admire, but to which no other has ever yet attained.
I am friendly to the Nrincipkiii Free Trade, but by that Free-
' dom I do not mean an exemptiar from all Laws, but only from
those which experience may from time to time demonstrate to be
injurious.
If supported by you and by your exertions, I pledge myself, whew
the next Election may occur, to stand any contest, even to the last
hour of the Poll ; and fearlessly to contend for those great prima-
pies, which are connected with the prosperity and the happiness of
all that can be dear to us, as men or as Britons.
In the course of a few days I purpose to do myself the lioness
of visiting Sudbury, in order that I may solicit front each individual
that support which I now request of Ton in your collective capa-
city. And have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, your most
obedient, and very humble servant,

ARGYLL ROMS.

Madame CATALAN' gave a-Concert last night at this place, being
the first of a series of font, with which this distinguished singer
announces her intention to close her public performances in this
country., By thus bidding farewell to the profession, she will create
a vacancy which, in all probability, will never be filled up. In what
may be termed the poetry of the art, this enchanting woman occu-
pied the highest rank, and, indeed, suffered no one to ap-
proach her. Every form of expression—the passionate, the
gay, thy tender, and the sentimental—are embodied bet
is. musical notes ; this is the form in which all her feelings
—and she is all feeling—must naturally find vent. She was
in remarkably tine voice last night, 'tad the different pieces
in which she sang were judiciously selected to display it to the best
advantage. Madame CATALAN gave in succession the grand air
of Ofe farrago, and the ballad of Sweet Home. She took the princi-
pal part in Roman's trio of Crude sorte with Mrs. Sauson and Mr.
&TM; and sang Mozart's duet of Sir 1' aria, with Mrs.S.ttateu. The
Italian air of Le Phecida Chat/wore was her next and most striking
performer.; and she closed her efforts for the night with Gad
eaw Os r.,1, accompanied with the most striking and graceful
action, in a style which drew reiterated bursts of applause from
the audience. The only drawback to the pleasure of the evening
must have been the reflection that these splendid talents are to be
withdrawn so soon and for ever. Mr. Satre was encored In Les
la beige st, dWein Grove, and also received much applause in' a
cootie duet with Mr. Num% Mr. Vassar-Mt played a solo
on the mandolin with astonishing execution. Mr. Clatecitreson
presided at the piano-forte, and the Orchestra was most ably
led by Mr. Moat. The whole afforded a most delectable treat.

Mr. ftIONCIE thought, that if the Chancellor of the

as could be. For that the country was obliged to him;
but the country was More obliged to another party, and that was

in the price of Corn, and not in consequence of the
threats of the Right Hon. Gentleman, for which they cared not a

regulations, 500 English families had left Brussels last year. The

So much has been done in Botany since the publication of this
Author's Flora Britannic% and English Botany, especially with
regard to natural affinities ; and he has for thirty years past found
so much to correct in the characters and synonyms of British

also is attempted to be reduced to a correct standard. The genera
are reformed, and the species defined, from practical observation ;

PETTY SESSIONS- A L LSD UR Y.

A female spinster from Haddenham, named
.Sarah
Sheppard, preferted a complaint against one hennas
Small, of the same village, for an :►s atilt. 'The fact
alleged agaiast the said Thomt.i Small was, that i e
entered the compiainant's haute on the 6th of Sep-
tember, and accnsed her of telling slot ie. of him ; and
then struck her, and. attempted to drag her out of the
house,but was prevtnted. The NI i,trates toll Small
he had acted t•ery improperly, and seemed ►o expect that
be would, as most persons do in such cases, make some
sort of defence or apology for his conduct, but nothing
of the kind oas fnrthcoinimr.

Sir G. Las—Are you not sensible that you have acted illegally ?
No, I be not.
Lon 't you think that it is illegal to strike a woman?--She scan-
dalized me {kit.

Sir J. D. KINC—But you have no right to take the law into your
own hands?—l only buffeted her with my small clothes: I was
airing them by the fire, and she injured me to do it.
And for doing so you are liable to be scut to the tread-wheel ?
I know better than this.

Sir G. I.se—You ought to he ashamed to asiallt a poor infirm
woman, as this appeals to he?—Lord bless yol, I Ise ten times
poorer than she; she robbed her poor father and mother, and took
her stays away.
A teniale who accompanied the complainant—Please, your
Honours, what he says is not trite.
Sir G. Let—That has nothing to do with the present ?—Then
you try me first, and we'll that there a'ter.

Ne persuaded Oa: you have no right to take the law into your
own I.lnds.—Why I've no peace for her; I've served in ycur
army fifteen yvars, and yet l'in.frit to be with her.
Should not you be carry to be sent to jail ? Yes, I should.
Sir J. D. Kilo —Then go out and settle it with her, or you will
be sent to the HT:A-wheel. As a soldier you ought to know better
than to strike a woman.

S riall said he had lived with the complainant's sis'er
fiftren years, and was proceeding to say something
more, but the Magistrates i.topped his oratory by tell-
ing him that if he did not settle the affair, he would be
sent to the tread-wheel. The parties then retired, and,

MANSION-HOUSE.

Mr. Bailey, the owner of a house in Muurfields, was charged with
having assaulted Air. Henry itledley, member of a Literary So-1
ciety held in the defendant's house. It appeared by the evidence,
that some difference of opinion had taken place during a literary
discussion between the complainant and the defendant, in which
the former had used the word " false," which, on appeal to the
Chairman, was decided to be out of order, and the defendant being

The prisoners, it appeared, had been at a pub:ic-house, c. led the
Fox and Hounds, in Little Guildford-street, where they hold a
weekly club, the object of which is the keeping up or v.i.ing the
prices of work with the master shoemakers. An assembly coo.
silting of about sixty journeymen shoemakers, took place on
Monday night, with whom the prisoners were; and haring par.
taken freely of liquor, a quarrel arose. The landlord refused to
supply them with more liquor, and insisted upon their settling
their disputes in the streets. Accordingly, with some little opposi.
tion, they adjourned to the street, where two of the prisoners
stripped and commenced fighting, when some watchmen, and
Massey, the night constable of St. George's, came up, and took
them into custody. This was between one and two o'clock in the
morning.—They were, notwithstanding an appeal to the Alagis
trates, called upon to pay the usual tine for intoxication, as well as a
remuneration to the constables, which, on refu,ing to do, they
were ordered to put in bail.

Giuseppe Pierre, an Italian band-organ player, wai brought ap in
the custody of one of the Kennington constables, before the sitting
Magistrate, R. J. CHAMICIO, En. charged with having wilfully
stabbed a young man, named Byrne, residing in Kennington.
The prisoner, in answer to the charge, declared that lie 6.d been
abused and struck by the complainant before he attempted to resist
the insults offered to him, and when he did strike the complainant,
it was not with a knife, but a pair of pincers.
This assertion was, however? contradicted by a female who saw
the Italian uren the knife and rush at Byrne with it, but die did
not see the blow struck.

The complainant said tl•at if the prisoner was remanded, k
should be enahkd to bring forward two persons who were under
the necessity of going out of town the following morning, Mkt*
whom had seen the prisoner inflict the wound.
The Mann:wars agreed to the request, and accordingly remande4
the prisoner, who, upon being taken from the bar, exhibited the
superstition and impetuous temper of most of his countrymen, by
tearing his hair, and invoking bis patron saint to help him out of his
difficulties.

ta in the way of convenience, whereas, were the
bifilting in a centrat)situation, many for whose lucal

terians in the tr,w3 and country be anything near the

tion ate on the decrease, and every day manifests the
truth of this proposition. We are not, in such grave
undertakings, to indulge in soaring into the regions of
fancy ;. we ate to penetrate into facts, and to weigh well
their conssquences. An elegant church, amply en-
do ored b? the rich, will adorn the town, and if well
supplied by a pious man, may be productive of much
good. We have only further to suggest, that a Gram-
mar School Establishment in this town, or its imme-
dia.e vicinity, might be placed under the supe•intend-
ance of its Minister, who should be a young man, which
w..tild add to his emoluments, as well as to the wealth.

TIIE STOLtN INFANT,

Yesterday, several respectable inhibitants of the pa-
rish of St. George the 'Martyr, Snuthwar lc. assembled
in the vestry-room to consider the expediency of offer-
ing a great reward, and adopting other measures for
recovering the infant that was stolen from a little girl,
to whom it was intrusted, near the King's Bench Prison,
a short time back. Weller, the father of the child, was
in attendance, and stated the steps which had been
hitherto taken towards re:overine hit offspring. The
poor man was, as might naturally be expected, very
sorrowful. A letter was produced which was very re•
cently received through the two-penny post, but as no
name was attached to the communication, it was con-
sidered to be unworthy of credit. The letter intimated
that the ckld wouli one day be restored, and it de.
sired the parents to be consoled. It was written in
such a manner as to raise an inference, supposing that
any reliance was to be placed on it at all, that the in-
fant was somewhere in London. One of the Gentlemen
composing the Vestry conceived the measures which
had beea adopted by the Magistrates at Union-hall,
were as likely as any towards discovering the lost infant.
The greatest publicity had been given to the case, he
said, and he was not aware of a better mode. In the
course of the discussion, that case was alluded to, in
which Government a fcw years ago took an active
part tow•a!ds discovering a child that had been stolen,
but was afterwards found in Holland, and restored to
its friends. The present case, it was remarked, was
different from the one ahovernent'oned, for• here the
child was usable to give an account of itself, M here's
in that case the child had related several of the facts re-
lative to the felony, which led to the apprehension of
the guilty individual. After a short consultation, it
was agreed by the Vestry to form a Committee, which-
was accordingly done, consisting of the Churchwardens
and Oversee:4of the poor, with some other parishioners.
Resolutions wee then drawn up, recommending sub-
scriptions to be opened, for the purpose of inc-easing
the reward offered for the recovery of the infant, and
the apptehension of the person who committed the
atrocious act. After which a liberal subscription was
WAS made, and the Vestry then broke up.

Stan—Your Consultative Junta of Government, in

prised at the honours and confidence you bestow upon
us, in your Sovereign Decree of the 13th instant, are
alternately agitated by the most profound gratitude,
and a dread of our incapacity ci insufficiency. Your
Majesty traces out for us the road to success, and also
to that prosperity you wish for your people and vassals,
and you enjoin us to suggest to you tie means, by
aiding your Council of Ministers. Our Leads a.e not
such as your Maj•:sty seeks—such as the Government
merits—n u• such as Spain requires. But we do not
hesitate to affirm, that your Majesty is not rnis•
taken in the fidelity of our hearts. Indefatigable,.
Sir, we will devote ourselves to labour, mendi-
cating will) docility, information and learning, from
those who know. Faithfully observing your Ma
jesty's seseie I.reaept, secrecy, screening or disfiguta-1
tion shall not be found among us. The ingenuous-
ness and candour of our sentiments shall not be sacri-
ficed to considerations of interest, or private views.
Ko partiality or party spirit shall bear us away. Our
integrity shall not be dismayed by the dread of the
enmity or persecution which usually attend ;
we will endure its shafts with undaunted constancy.
fhe glory of your Majesty, the splendour and per-
retuity of your Throne, the integrity of your here-
ditary dominions, the decorum of )our august family,
the indissoluble union of the Empire and Priest-
hood, the re-establishment of the fame the Spa-
nish St rte once enjoyed among other Powers, the
encouragement of individual tidies, endeavouring
to bind them to those a•f the' State and G.ivernment ;
the replacing of so many defiaieneies and losses ex-
perienced ; the adaptation of the contributions to possi-
bility, and no more; the consolida.ion of a credit to
supply the•place when contributions fail; the saving of
everything !;.at may not be indispensably necessary ;
the suspension of all allowances not arising out of just
demands; retrenchments which ds not Wing with them
indigence; reforms and moJifications, which may re-
animate the nation without depressing the subjects.
Such will be the objects for the guidance of the Junta;
arid the will cf your Majesty, and the directions of
your Council of Ministers, shall be their only rule of
action.Th Junta will perish a thousand times rather than
be wanting to your Majesty.—Madrid, Sept. 26,1825.
