horse tilbury, with considerable speed, in turning the
corner Of Marlbre' Row, to go along Church-street,
the vehicle went against the blacksmith's shop at the
comer of the street, and was dashed to pieces: they
were thrown out with considerable violence. Mr.

Yesterday as some children were playing together
in the stable yard of the Unicorn Inn, in North.street,l
two or three of them got behind the neb of 4 wag.
gnu, Much was placed against the wall. when it fell,
and struck a See girl, four years of age, named Atm
Attootz, in the head, fracturing her skull in so
dreadful a manner as to cause almost instant death.
Yesterday evening a numerous meeting of the
Friends of the Brighton Bible Society took place at
the Old Ship Assembly Rooms. There were upwards
of six hundred persons assembled, the Ladies com-
prised about uve hundred of that number. Such a
brilliant display of females has been rarely witnessed.
The third Report of the committee was read, which
lannounced that the influence and activity of the
Ladies alone, had produced a sum of £2ll. 10s. 7d.
with...* the last year, and rhat their Committee had
the names of 1.50 persons n; their books as subscribers
for the Holy Scriptures. There had been distributed
684 Bibles since the last Report, besides remitting
£4O to the Couuty Association.
The gliAa Packet, Captain WATT, arrived from
'Dieppe this morning, full of Passengers, as usual,
with a carriage and pair of horses. Amos% the

Ote artivels from thence are numerous—a circum-
stance highly advantageous to the, country at large.
A biro homeward bound lodianmn, from Bata-
via, has been for some days at anchor in the Queen's
Channel, waiting orders to proceed to the Scheldt to
land her cargo at Antwerp. •
By; passenger who left the Havannah thirty-eight
days ago, we learn that. Goveraor 'Corairueoos had
declined complying with the orders he carried out to
shut up the port. He found the Creole party too
strong l'or a measure so detrimental to the interests of
the island, and the 1,000 men besides who had ac-
companied him, were wanted in' Mexico. With them
Admiral APADACA sajled for Vera Cruz, he having
been named Viceroy of New Spain. An additional
duty had been laid on all imports in Cuba, for the
purpose of defraying the ripe:lies of armaments
against ;be carthagena and %taws Ayres privateers,
which infest the whole of the coast, as may be seen
by the following extract t

ROYAL DIVORM

71104 A WINNING PAPER.
A letter on this important subject has just been
published, addressed to Lord ELDON, whom the writer
considers principally interested in the future discos.
sion of this question from the high office he holds
under the Crown and the responsibility naturally at-
tached to him for the propriety of the proposal and
its ultimate success. The question itself is considged
in the two only modes in which it appears it can •
possibly be brought before the public, as, towever
congenial a proceeding by bill of attainder might be,
it could not be tolerated in the present age. The first
inquiry is, o whether his ROYAL figniNess and the
PPINCEsS are to be considered as private persons, and
whether the measure itself could be brought forward,
before the Ecclesiastical Court A clooht presents
itself here, viz. whether the Ecclesiastical Court has
any jurisdiction 1 If it has, then the Princess must
necessarily be entitled to the ordinary defence em-
ployed in that Court, viz. recrimination." The writer
*inks it morally impossible that his Lordship could
advise the Pawn to commence a suit, in which :1
defence of such a nature might be employed. He
next supposes that the measure would be bronet.t
forward on the Statate of Treasons, the 25th of
Edward 111. which declares, that if a roan defile
the companion of the King's eldest son and heir, he
shall be deemed guilty of high treason."
Suppose the offence charged as having been corn..
mitted in a foreign country, and by an alien who
consequently never owed any allegiance' to the Kin?,,,
how can the offender be said to have violated his
allegiance, having Dever owed any I and of course
he having thus Committed no crime how can the
Pawns be considered as partaker of that crime ?
Besides, in the statute above quoted, the wife of the
King's eldest son is described as .44 his Companion ;'•
but she PRINCESS, it is well known, was separated
from his R*'YAL HLOHNIXA by articles, which un-
doubtedly wee ratified by Parliament in their voting
her a separate establishment. Certainly the ?meets,
under such circumstances, and especially residing oat
of the realm, with the consent "and by special licence
of his ROYAL Hiourasss, could not with any propriety
be called his companion. The writer then observes,
that by advising his ROYAL Himniass to permit the
PRINCESS to reside abroad, his Lordship has deprived
her of that salutary safeguard by which the severity-
of the above statute is mitigated. Would his Lord..
ship act in such a manner with any Ward of Chair,
eery If not, why then be less attentive to the
PNINCEIs, and why deprive her of the protection that,
is legally entitled to by the wise provisions of Par-
liament I

The exclusion of her Royal Highness from the
QUEEN'S Drawing-room necessarily disgraced her, and
led her to be viewed as the outcast of society ; and
therefore her wish to quit a country where sbe had
been so treated was by no means astonishing ; and
she might perhaps ther feel, that h,r remaining
any longer in this couotry might eventually injure
her beloved Daughter. The conduct of his Lord.
Ail), if he advised the Q,:er.N t 3 tx,:hiSe the Pam-
ens from the Drawing-foorn, and at the same time
to receive the Duchess of CumniraLaun, is repro-
bated by the writer on the ground of its producing
disunion in the family. The proposed Dive.rce is
further -etinsidered in connection with the situation
of her Royal Highness the Princes Cna.m.orrs. Her
succession, indeed, to the Throne will be attended
with one advantage to the dountt y, tic. the disjunc.
On of Hanover from the pritish Poininitais, which,
es a male-fief, must descend to the Dujce of YORK.
After some remarks on the danger of a disputed
Succession, the writer concludes by imploring his
Lordship seriously to weigh the consequences likely
to result from a measure of so serious a nature, by
the melancholy experience of former times, by the
dioinotioe of affection which' Ministers have pro.
dusted in the minds of the people towards the Panic;
once the much and justly esteemed friend of the coun-
try e and above all, by the live the people bear to
the Princess Ciutacorre, for the 'hardships they be-
lieve she has suffered, the sacrifices she has been c.illed
to make from affection for her mother, and her own
amiable qualities and preeminent tAlents. Your
advice ;and influence with the Quxerr,'' says the
writer, Fs are supposed to have excluded the PasKossx
from society. Do not inflict additional injury on the
daughter by disturbing her right of Succession. Such
a measure would only be bequeathing a legacy of
calamity fo the country.”

COVENT-G;IRD.EM TREATRE.

Last night Mrs. CZNTLIVRIeI Comedy of The
Wonder was performed, when Miss Boitut made her
,Arst appearance on any stag: in the character of
riokuite. Her voice is not strong but she speaks sen-
sibly and clearly. In the scenes with I)on Felix par-
ticularly sbe displayed the various conflicts of passion
with truth, vivacity and spirit, and her carriage was
Unembarrassed. Don Felix, by Mr. C. Katsina, was
an admirable effort of the art. His agitation, and the''
quick variety of his emotions, were faithfully and for-
cibly expressed. Mr. FAWCETT, with his sound sense
and sterling comic genius, could not tail to give a
fine effect to Lissardo; Mrs. Gums, in Flora, and
Miss MATTHEws, in batik), were a imir able.—The
Seraglio- billowed, and the Farce of Killing No Murder
cbncluded the night's amusements.—The house was
fashionably and fully attended.

THEATRICAL DISPUTE.
TO THE EDtrog.
, Theatre Royal, English opera-house, Sept.l3, 1816.
SIR—In fulfilment of my promise, I trouble you,
• I trust for the last time it will be necessary, with a
few observations on Mr. Kinnaird's publication of
Thursday: I find myself, therein called upon to ac-
count for having Gi garbl...d" Mrs, Orger's letter by
the omission of a line ; and it is with unafficted re-
luctance that 1 prepare to do so, because it renders
necessary an exposition of Mr. Kinnairri's feelings
• and conduct as a Manager. whichlhateing, I repeat,
no ill-will personally towards him,) for the sake of
his own credit, I had much rather have suppressed.
In the-first place, Sir, I must inform you, that I
had heard from undoubted authority that Mr. Kin.:
naird had expressed his determination that any per-
former venturing to act in this Theatre after his in-
junction to the contrary, should be marked. It may
be necessary to explain what is here technically
meant by marling performers :—it is understood to
imply that the offending parties shall be degraded
while they continue in the Theatre; and at the expi-
ration of their engagements, that they shall be dis-
charged ! This is the accepted interpretation of the
word, and in Using it Mr. ICinnait d cannot be sup-
posed to have had any other meaning.
Now, Sir, before I sent Mrs. Orger's letter to you
for publication as a necessary part of my first doeu-
iment, it struck me very forcibly that she bad un-
guardedly committed herself by a pointed expression
that might possibly subject her to the fulfilment of
the vindictive threat which I heard had been tittered
by Mr. Kinnaird, and therefore purposely omitted it,
,In order to guard her against the danger of such a
result. It would not be supposed that Mrs. Orger,
in addressing Mr. Bartley, could deem it requisite to
inform him, that Mr. Kinnaird was " one of the Mem-
bers of the Sub-Committee of .Drury•lanelheatre ;" and it
certainly struck me, that Mr. Kinnaird would consi-
der this peculiar designation, as an attempt on the
part of Mrs. Orger, to attach to him all the respon.
sibility he his assumed; and that he would treat it
as an avowal, that she had received this injunction
from Mr. Kinnaird as ONE of the Sub-Committee
only . in contra-distinction to the usual mode in which
con:rat:locations are made to the Performers from the
Sub Committee collectively—namely, through the
acti'ig manager, as their deputed officer.
'rims, Sir, I have explained (I trust satisfactorily)
why I omitted the line above quoted ; and which
omission, intended to protect Mrs. Orger from the
possible effects of a ruinous act of vengeance, has
been construed by Mr. Kinnaird into an intention to
"'garble" her letter !
Mr. Kinnaird states, that 1 have " obtruded this
case (10r what reason lie cannot guess) unnecessarily.
upon the public." This I deny. It has become, at
length, indispensably necessary that I should guard
my property against the perpetual and unwearied at-
tacks which Mr. Kinnaird has made (and seems re-
solved to continue to make) upon it; and which I
base with some patience endured, andlepifrom public
' notice, during many past months. Thais reason, I
think, Mr. Kinnaird might have guessed, without
calling for a public avowal of it.
Mr. Kinnaird affects to consider the insertion of
Mrs. Orger's letter, and his own to Miss Kelly, as a
el public refutation" of whin he is pleased to call my
es personal attack" upon him. I deny all personality
excepting such as may affect him as a Member of the
Sob•Conunittee, who, as it appears to me, is acting
on his own personal responsibility, in direct violation
of chi Act of Parliament, and to the obvious injury
• and discredit of his constituents.
As to his " public refutation," I must presume to
think that Mrs. Orger's letter is any thing but that.
She clearly sets him right in two errors in his own
'Utter ; and very fairly atknowledges, that had 'she
.41tot conceived him to have implied a " TOMCAT, that
she should not have beat intimidated, or have considered her-
self bound to 41 guided by his injunction !"
la all that :elates to tie question respecting Miss j
Kelly's performing at Drury-lane Theatre, I cannot
. 110 better than transcribe the following c, zespol.
levee
Golden-square, Thursday morning, $
Iffy dear Mae Kelly-1 am this moment leaving town, and
shall hope to receive your answer on my return. 1 fin.: Mr.
Kinnaird has thought tit to publish his letter to you of Saturday
sett, in order to mime the charge of having, du his own r
solidity, declined your services at Drery.lane Theatre while- Z
Baglisit Opera .continues open: I therefore trust you will no
longer object to foretell ate with a copy of your answer to that
Oeudeinan. lam aware that the objection you have hitherto
expressed has arisen from delicacy towards the Sub-Committee.
It appears to me that the same feeling should now induce you io
allow Its publication. Having understood that the Sub•Casnadas
tee are not patties to the measure proposed by Ms.Kisailed.=
iffe called upon to acquit them of partielpadon in an act
the world will p:obably consider as unjust, inipolitle, and op-
pressive.
1 hive also to request that you will furnish me with the pani-
c/dal of your previous conversation With Mr. Kinglitti,te which
be alludes is having taken place on Thursday, in order that I
may acquit myself of the chair of having mss-states facts, when
I asserted that Mr. Kiunaird bad expressed his i-diedwal inten.
don not to " employ or receive" your services .t Drury-lane
?Inure until after the dose of eke English OperSill'ouse.

MY IiZAR Sia—When Mr. Kinnaird proposed to relinquish
my services at Drury-lane Theatre till the close of the English
Opera-HOuse, in order le save the Theatre the expiate ass
Sary, Twill venture to-assert, that 1 replied in nearly the kn.
lowing words:—That however mortifying to me his prOposal
(inasmuch as it proved how lightly he estimated osy services), 1

of which could alone have suggested to him an act of ouch paltry
economy towards one, wii.e.l invariable assiduity is tilt per-
formance of her duties to tilt t'ublic and the lileatre, might by
