Within this half hour the market has become heavy, and a good

His MAJESTY both yesterday afternoon and this day
has enjoyed an airing, for a short time, in the Great
Park, accompanied by the LORD STEWARD, in the pony
phaeton. The KIND returns to the Royal Lodge much
earlier than usual, owing to the coldness of the atmos-
phere.—lt is confidently asserted that his MAJESTY will
leave the Royal Lodge in a day or two, for London, to
be present at the opening of Parliament. His MA-
James stay in the metropolis is not expected to be of
ion duration.

BOTHWELL CASTLE.

The noble residence of the Right Honourable Lord Douglas,
was the scene of great festivity on the evening of Thursday lam—
On its becoming known to the inhabitants of Uddingston and Both-
well, that the gallant son-in-law of their beloved landlord, Major
Moray Stirling of Ardoch, with his bride, were expected to arrive
that day on a visit to his Lordship, the whole population of both
villages and the country around, turned out to hail and give them
welcome, bearing banners and other symbols of general rejoicing.
When night closed in, the blase of tar barrels, and copious libations
of " mountain dew," supplied to them
" Without mixture, without measure,"
prolonged the gladness of the rustic throng. Nor was the rejoicing
on the occasion that of a grateful tenantry alone—a splendid ball
was given at the castle, where more than one hundred guests sat
down to supper at twelve o'clock ; after width dancing was resumed,
and kept up with unabated spirit, to the well-conducted music of
Cunningham's band, until three o'clock on Friday morning, and
certainly by none with more grace and good humour than the gal-
lant Major and his noble bride.

followed by a waltz.

At one o'clock supper was announced, which consisted of every

to itequaint the House, that he then proceeded to
lay claim, by humble petition, to all their undoubted
rights and privileges, especially those of freedeim
from arrest, full liberty of speech in all their deli-
berations, and uninterrupted access to his Majesty
whenever occasion should require it. He, likewise,
prayed, on their behalf, that the proceedings of that
House should, at all times, receive the most favour-
able construction. He had received his Majesty's
assurances that all these rights and privileges shoeld be
granted to the present House of Commons, in as full
and ample a manner as their predecessors bad enjoyed
them. He would avail himself of this opportunity of
again etpressing to the House his most grateful and
respectful acknowledgments for the high honour which
had beers Conferred upon him. No one could estimate
that honour more highly than himself, and be would
struggle to deserve the marked favour he had received
at their hands. They should find him most scrupulously
watchful in maintaining all their rights and privileges,
which were not theirs alone, but those of all the Com-
mons of England. He implored the House to assist
him with their strictest attention in maintaining all the
rules and terms of that House, which were not only
important as they tended to promote the dispatch of
bus ness, but which Mere essential safeguards of the
property of the country. He would now submit to
them, that the business to which they should proceed,
would be to take and subscribe the oaths, as prescribed
by law.
The Clerk then administered the oaths to the Speaker.
' which the Right Hon. Gentleman took and subscribed.
The Clerk proceeded to call over the several Counties,
that the Members for each County might approach the
Table to be sworn.

The SPEAKER intimated, that the Members for
Boroughs should come forward as well as the Members
returned for Counties; and when the County of Cornwall
was called, the sudden rush of Representatives to the
table excited some merriment in the House.

A considerable number of Members took and subscribed the
oaths, and the House adjourned at Hacr-raer Foua o'CLocic.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

This entertaining place of public resort closed a sac•
cessful season last night, with Paid Pry.
At the end of the Play Madame VIiSTRIS delivered
the following Address. The moment she appeared, the
Orchestra began the Air of Cherry Ripe ; she ran for-
ward and intermixed the music, and then addressed
the audience:

Pray don't be alarmed, but sit quietly there t
I'm not going to sing "Cherry Rape," I declare;
But those fiddles, though peaceably placed on their shelves,
Would, front habit, squeak out "Cherry Ripe" of themselves%
No—my visit just now is, in kindness and pity,
To save you from almost as hacknied a ditty;
The tribute of than►s, in the self-sane dull strain
You've endured, patient victims! again and again.
I saw it impending ! This ominous hat—
A true type of the " usual address"—" stale and fat
drest all in black, with a grave, solemn face,
And these four cruel pages of trite common-place! (Mersa Paper.
Hang such dull undertaker-like work I—Whence the reason?
We're not going to bury the Haymarket season.
Can't we part as we meet? in good humour ? Übe be
Black Usher this night—then—my name isn't PM**.

Tows the Paper.:
There: acknowledge me now a fast friend in distress;
I've secured your escape from one farewell address.
Yet should there be present some outlandish thing,
Who has neer heard the Sreisehtdo or God woe the ruts;
Some savage caught wild, near the Pole or Bornoo,
By PARRY or Dammam ;—some staring Yahoo!
For his edification just let him see
What the last dying Speech of a Play-house would be.
Three bows, with three simpers insuff 'rably sweet;
The Cambric, one ohm I and two steps in retreat ;
Then comes " Ladies and Gems. the Proprietors epitome,
" Your humble servant too, every bit o' me-
-0 Honour'd—and lamed—so much—that—l feel-
-0 What my limited powers—must—fail to reveal.
" The Managers, grateful for favours, would speak
" All trey feel, but, unluckily, words art too weak;
" And, as for the Actors, so grateful are they,
That e'en language is mute, so—they've nothing to say;
E. In short, all are so grateful, that all were unable
To thank you-•.though all had the tongues of all Babel."'
Thai it stands in plain English, all Sourislo deducted
Our Managers' nerves are so finely constructed,
That the sensitive creatures recoil at the sight
Of benches appallingly empty at night
And We, who a similar venture engage on,
By sympathy, surely imbibe the contagion.
Now, since 'tie by pleasing our Patrons, alone
We Calf hope to prevent such grim sight being shown.
We hate lealottaly,cbeerfully, laboured to please
You in all things—save sitting too much at your ease.
Your favour, our efforts has crown'd to the last :
May we steal for the future, a hope from the past ?—(Applouse.)
Did we doubt it, those sounds would our terrors dispel
So with thanks and good wishes, we bid you—Farewell.

MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS-THIS DAY.

Parliament was this day opened by Royal Commis-
sion ; and in consequence of the indisposition of the
Loan Cat.tmctuna, the important duty which devolves
on him, in the absence of his Sovntmax, was executed
by another Peer. It will be recollected, that in order to
provide for such contingencies, a Royal Commission
passed the Great Seal in February, 1824, appointing
Lord GIFFORD, the Master of the Rolls, to act as "De-
puty Speaker, in the absence of the Loan CORRORLLOR,
and the Keeper of the Great Seals, and to be in all
respects the Speaker of the House of Lords, occupying

COVEN f• GARDEN THEATRE.

A new Afterplece was produced at this Theatre last night, en.
titled :Torah; ur, 'The Girt of Erin. Nsrah G•wa an), is •
foundling, who having attracted the notice of one Dennis
O'Flynn (Mr. Cow•oa), is adopted by him, and educated as his
daughter. Her beauty and accomplishments attract the notice of
George Ned/nand (Mr. Cone's), the nephew of Lehi Canleton (Mr.
&MILTON), and he lays close siege to the fair incognita. In coneeH
quence of his persecutions, she is driven from her place as a see-
cant, and he relinquishes his hopes from his uncle to throe/ himself
at her fete. The Noble Lord happens to have a sister, Who bad
married clandestinely about eighteen years before, and lost her
husband, as lady Randolph did ; and this same sister, the Mir-
chimes: Datil& (Miss Lacy), turns out in the end to be the mother
of Norah. The lovers being thus found to be cousins, are untried
without further delay; and these circumstances, with a few modi-
fications and embellishments, form the subject of the drama. There

was, in addition to the characters we liave already mentioned,
another, called Kathleen, performed by Mrs. Gtoven. It WAS an
attempt to p (portray the VIVI of a jealous domestic, but there was
no force in the portrait. The piece was given out for repetition.

Tuesday night, we :sad Othello, and we were happy to 'let Mr. C.
Kosar.s throw more life and energy into his personification of the
Moor, than oh a former occasion : particularly so in some of the more
impassioned speeches, as where he says to loge—" Villain, be sure
you prove," acc. This was well conceived, and delivered with die
. cretion • deed, the whole of this scene was yell managed by both
these characters. The House was well filled, and much approba-
tion manifested during the whole performance.

Ma. ADDINGTON TO Nift. CLAY.

Washington, April 9, 1525.
Sta—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter of the 6th instant la which you announce
to me the definitive decision of the President, with re-
gard to the Convention for the more effectual suppres-
-sion of the Maisie Trade,' which I. had..the honour to
strbmirlar the acceptance of this Government on the.
6th of. November. last.
mln expressing y regtet at the failure of the benevo-
lent efforts which have been employed in a cause so
dear to humanity, 1 may venture to assure you that,
' however deeply his Majesty's Government may deplore
' the present disappointment of• their hopes, they will
consider the unfortunate issue of this business as in no-
wise affecting the friendly feeling* which exist between
the two Governments, and sill accei.t with pleasure the
expression of the President's desire, that every exertion
should still be used for effecting the, entire extirpation
of that odious tr.rffic, which the Convention was de-
signed to suppress.
cannot dismiss this subject without a brief observa-
tion on that part of your letter in which you animad-
vert upon the argument employed in mine of the 6th
of November last, relative to the Act passed by the
British Parliament, for denouncing the S ave Trade as
Piracy. The expressions used by you would lead to a
belief that I had represented the passing of the Act, on
the part of Great Britain, as rendering it imperative on
the American Government to accede to the ConveUtion,
even at the expense of a sacs Wee of their constitutional
prerogatives.
A reference to the expressions of my letter, will, I
apprehend, at once demonstrate the erroneousness of
this impression, by :hewing that I put the ease as a
point of conscience, not one of right, and that I urged
the argument above alluded to, in the form of an ap-
peal, not of a demand.
The denunciation of the Slave Trade, as piracy, by
British statute, was made try.. this Government, a sine
qua non to the signature of the Convention. As far as
limit Britain was concerned, that proteeding, although
perfectly conformable to the views of Parliament, inroad
morality, was one of pure supererog.stion, and con-
ferred no power towards the suppression of the Slave
Trade, not possessed before. Had the Government of
the United States not expressly desired the enactment
of that statute, it would never have been passed ; but,
being paned, its relocation, although certainly within
the competence of Parliament, is now, by the interposi-
tion of subsequent events, rendered tantamount to
morally impossible.
'hese circumstances will, I apprehend, amply justify both the
form of the argument which I hulk upon them. and the warmth
with which 1 urged it. • •
I pif thetetinhcrillabloastit: by any means with a view to
ftee " ussiou, but simply in ordir to obviate all •mia-
ciastrustion of the meaning of words already employed by me.
I have the honour, &t, to renew to you the emanate* of my
distinguished mold erAtion. H. U. ADDINGTON.
Tue Hon. Henry Clay, Secretary of State.

Mr. Purse, the pawnbroker, of London Wall, Wag sumrrin„d
before the lto Alarm', to account for the detention of a oil
chain which had been offered to him to pl. dge. The
stated his name was Thompson, when he offered the chain tp.pi-d„.
The complainant stated, that he offered to pledge a chain, w:„ p
he had every reason then, and even now, to I,tlieve to be gold,
pawnbroker, ipstead of receiving or- rejecting 'it, thought
without putting it to the usual testao. declare k to he alr.itidul.nt
article, and to charge him with hiving offered it with an intend ,n
to defraud. They de:aioed the chain, and positively refilled either
to give it up, to cut it, or return him the money.
The pawnbroker's sbopman stated, that the trade generally had
latterly been extensively defrauded by means of counterfeit 0,1
chains, which were so well gilt u to stand the common teat of aqua
fortis. There were several circumstances of suspicion to lead then,
to believe that this was a counterfeit article. The complainant ray,
a fictitious name and address, and refused to state anything abed:
himself; and when an officer was threatened to be sent for he m
his escape. They (the pawnbrokets) did not chose to take
themselves the risk of cutting the chain, which they were
ready to give up ; without, however, yet admitting it to he gold.
'The Lotto Maroa thought the circumstance of the cornp!ait4ti
refusing to teU who and what he was, a sufficient justification to the
pawnbroker (who was bound by law to he cautious of ash* he took
in pledge, and from whom) detaining the chain. He disnlissed the
complaint.
The pawnbroker said he did not wish to keep the chain, and n
the complainant appeared. to be a tradesman, returned it to hint.

M ARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Jvhn Ind was charged, under Mr. Martin'i Act, with beating a
sheep, on the 13th of November, cruelly and wantonly; the eye of
the animal was beaten out of the socket. The fellow is a journeyman
drover to a man named Startle, who holds reverel badges, a ar.
cumstance which renders the apprehension of offenders very dila.
cult. The fact of beating the sheep was fully proved, with the
addition, that Ind struck sevetal bystanders for reproving him.
Mr. Commts.—Why du drovers and butchers strike sheep on the
head in preference to any other pait ?
A Butcher's Boy.— Why,Sir, if they hits him on the leg or loin it
makes a bruise and spoils the meat, so they hits them on the scrag.
Startle, the Drover.—l have no doubt it was an accident; I
never struck a sheep on the eye but by accident.
Mr. CONANT —Would you turn off a man for striking a sheep oa
the shou:der or loin ?

Starkie.—Of course, if he struck a sheep there.
Mr. Corm Six said the masters seemed to encourage their servants
to strike the animals on the head ; be should therefore mai as
example of the prisoner. The fine was not less than 10s. nor more
than 51.; as the case was an atrocious one, he should convict him io

Anne, antinke having absconded.
Mr. Woolly, au Attorney, attended ; and the prisoner said that it
was by his advice that she had kept out of the way. She also said
that a Captain Samuel Browne, of the Royal Navy, who was the
principal person who frequented her house with little girls of the
most tender age, had given Mr. Woolly 200 guineas to get the
witnesseaznit of the way in a prosecution going on against Browne,

Browne had also undertaken to pay all the forfeited recognizancet,
Ste. Sbe also said, that the house in question did not belong to her;
but to a Mrs. Green, who put her in there chiely to accommodate
Captain Browne, as he would not be permitted to carry on his Frac.

of what she had said; but the prisoner still persisted. that he had
got the money from Captain Browne.* She teas of course cow.
