SPORTIAG INTELLIGENCE.

The Cockney Sportsmen slept in their boots last
night, to be in readiness to take the field this day at
an early hour, to surprise the partridges asleep in the
neighbourhood of Piimro,e-hill, Finchley, Chelsea
Fields, &c. Mastiffs, bull-dogs, and terriers, have
for some days been in great demand, as four staunch
pointers and six Cocknies have taken a field for a
week near Turnham-green, for their own private
sporting. One of their pointers pinned a bull yester-
day in a field near Kensington, and one of the sport-
ing gentry had to pay ten shillings for a dunghill
I cock, which he fired at, and afterwards killed with.
a stone, having taken it for a pheasant !

SPARRING.

The veteran Jf•ndoca, ever the pride and envy of the boxing
sing (and who has disticgui,hed himself in 3.5 public contests),
had a Benefit at the nye.' Ceurt yesterday. "No longer pipe,
no longer &nee." Tito Court was thinly attended. The sets-
to were also as scarce as they were indifferent. Larkin and
Shelton had a manly set-to, but Larkin was too heavy for his
adversary, and his courage is not to be stopped by a parry or
two. West Country L'i:•!. and the Cypsey he fought, hit out, and
:aired much applause. Scr,vgins played off some Merry Andtrut
tricks with Taylor, who fought Dolly Smith, and these were the
whole performances that reed be mentioned. Randall, Turner,
Spring, Martin, Delano, and Crib, were present, but did not
condescend to exhibit.

After the stage had been kept uniting, as the actors say at the
Playhouse, the veteran of the ring appeared, made his bow,
seemed rather depressed, and addressed the audience in the fol-
lowing worth:
" GaarLaitza—l return you my most sincere thanks for the
patronage you have afforded me to-day, and likewise for all past
favours. To those persons Who hale set-ts for me to-day, I also
acknowledge my gratitude; and their services will never be for-
' gotten by me. But, Gentlemen, after what I have done for the
Pugilists belonging to the Pi ize Ring, I do say thct have not
used me well upon this occasion ; in fact, the principal men have
most unkindly deserted me. Gentlemen, I thiuk I have a right
to call myself the Father of the Science; Er it is well known that
prize-fighting lay dormant for several years after the time of
Broughton and Slack. It was myself and Humphreys, that re-
vived it in our three contests fur superiority, and the science of
pugilism has been highly patronised ever since--(Hear, hear!
from some old amateurs).—Gentlemen, I have once more to
thank you for the present and all other past favours ; nay, more,
I now tale my leave of you ; and I trust that I shall never trou-
ble you for another Benelit—(Afmlausc).—l have now only to
say—farewell, farewell!"
Mendoza, and a few of his staunch friends, then retired to a
house in the neighbourhood, where the ingratitude of old ac-
quaintance was, for the moment, forgotten, over a good dinner,
and a plentiful supply of black strap !—And here, after the cloth
was removed, the once " Pride of the Fames" displayed no mean
acquirements as a vocalist, as he gave, .with much feeling and
effect, SLIALSPEARE'S song, beginning
" Blow, blow, thou winter's wind,
" Thou art not so unkind !" &c.
Several other excellent songs were sung before the company se-
parated,
which was not till a late hour.

Vauxhall Gardens closed. on Wednesaay night for
the season; and, in consequence of the favourable state
of the Weather, w•as attended by a most numerous
and fashionable company, among whom were several
persons of rank and distinction. Madame SAQUI,
on the elevated rope, performed her wonderful feat
with great eclat. Mr. TAYLOR delivered an Address
of Thanks for the liberal support the Proprietors
had received during the season.
HAYMARKET THEATRE.—A lively little Comedy
was produced last night, entitled Dog Days in Bond-
street. The plot is founded on the following whim-
sical circumstance:—Alfred Tresilian (Mr. BERNARD),
is induced by his friend Flashley (Mr. JONES), to
allow his uncle, the elder Tresilian (Mr. TERRY), to
be imposed upon by a false account of his death, as
an expedient for the relief of his pecuniary embar-
rassments. The uncle immediately repairs to Lon-
don, in order to pay his nephew's debts, and puts
up at the Hotel in Bond-street, where that nephew
is living. It will not be difficult to imagine the dif-
ficulties that arise out of this situation, but it is ne-
cessary to be present at the performance to appreciate
the comic force with which they are set off by Mr.
LISTON, who, in the character of Buzz, an artful
servant, laments and describes the death of his mas-
ter with due solemnity and detail. Mr. WILLIAMS
performed the part of an old Usurer with conside-
rable effect, and Mr. J. RUSSELL that of a Mercer,
who is also one of the Fancy. Mrs. MARDYN was
the heroine, and she made the part as interesting as
its nature would permit. The Prologue, which was
admirably delivered by Mr. CONNOR, bespoke a fa-
vourable feeling in the audience, which the progress
of the Drama increased. It is, therefore, almost
unnecessary to add, that there is every reason to an-
ticipate for it a successful career.

THE QUEEN.

Her. MAJZSTY returned the following gracious
Answer to the Address from Liverpool, which was
signed by nearly 30,000 persons :
14 I am much gratified by finding that my conduct is approved,
while.my rights are vindicated, and my sufferings lamented, by
the inhabitants of the enlightened town- of Liverpool and its
vicinity.
" My accession to the high dignity of Queen Consort of these,
realms was hailed by the nation with vivid expressions of joy,
though that joy has been mingled with grief by the indignities
which I have since experienced, and the persecution of which
I have so long been the object.
" When it pleased the will of my Royal Consort to dismiss
me from his royal abode, he was not able to fix the slightest
imputation of otoral blame on my conduct, and could ocly ex-
cuse his own by alleging that his inclinations were not under his
controul ! In this state of total and unprovoked desertion by
him who had recently sworn eternal fidelity only to myself, I
had no solace left but in the company of my only child; and it
is well known that that solace was gradually diminished, till it
was entirely taken away.
" Those who are now my accusers, were once professedly
my friends; though they were never, even in profession, the
friends of the People. They are now the declared enemies of
both ; and, indeed, they are the enemies of all who are not the
friends of corruption in every branch of the public Administra-
tion. To incur their hatred, noteing more is requisite than not
to acquiesce in injustice, and not to countenance iniquity. If I
would have truckled to their selfishness, they would have cele-
brated my baseness in ;mans of panegyric. But the reality of
incorruptible independence is such an alien from their habits,
and such a stranger to their minds, that they turned aghast at
the sight, like the guilty King at the apparition of his murder-
ed guest!
" To be the hatred of such men, is to be entitled to the love
of mankind. To be the shaft of their malice, is to be conspi-
cuous for worth and eminent for integrity. To be assailed by
their slanders, and p:rsecuted by their rancour, it is only ne-
cessary to be the steady friend of all that is true, all that is just,
all that is honourable, all that is praiseworthy anion' men ;
of all that promotes the real good, and exalts the true glory of
the People.
" The former ordeals' through which I passed, without the
smallest imputation of criminality, though they were not con-
ducted with candour, were less characterised by malignity than
the present. The present is marked by an intensity of malevo-
lence, of which, happily for the honour of our species, only one
example is furnished in the history of mankind."
Her MAJESTY returned the following gracious
Answer to the Address from the Ward of Cripple-
gate-Without :
4, The Citizens of London have never deserted their post
when Tyranny attacked the rights of individuals, or threatened
the constitutional liberties of the Nation. In this critical pe-
riod, when both individual right and general liberty are vitally
assailed in the person of the queen, 1 have found in the Oti-
zens of London my most intrepid supporters, and my most
zealous friends; and among the foremost of those supporters
and friends, the grateful feelings of my heart tell me that I
ought ever to number the Householders and Inhabitants of the
Ward of Cripplegare-Without.
" Unlimited power ought to be given to no man, unless it
could, at the same time, be united with unlimited wisdom ; but
as PUOVIDENCE does nor usually bestow a much larger portion of
wisdom or virtue upon Kings than upon other individuals, it is
necessary that their power should be circumscribed within strict
limitations, in order to render it beneficial to mankind.

" 'The power of the laws is good, because it is power without
passion; but who would approve distretlookry power, in an in-
dividual who is the slave of his appetites, or remarkable only fur
his fatuity? Where power is limited by fixed laws fur the
common good, those laws which may be called fundamental,
cannot be changed without the consent of the People, for whose
good they were established. A limited monarchy, with funda-
mental laws which may be capriciously changed, is, in fact, an
arbitrary Government. It is not the Government of tmimpas-
sioned law, but of fickle inclination.

" The Bill of Pains and Penalties, which is pending against
me, is an anomaly in a free Government. It is an asmin.ption
of power without limitations; it is a domination that spurns all
controal : it begins with setting aside every existing law which
has any reference to the protection of the individual against those
Pains and Penalties which the Bill proposes to inflict.
a If, therefore, such a Bill of Pains and Penalties should pass,
it may, perhaps, hereafter be proposed to the People of Eng-
land to consider how far it ought to he obeyed. It can have no
claim to obedience, as an Act emanating from legitimate autho-
rity ; for no authority is any further legitimate,, than as it is ex-
ercised within those fixed constitutional limitations, by which
it was originally circumscribed, and for the good of the people,
for whose good alone it was bestowed. In a limited monarchy
all power must be a trust; but the very nature of a trust sup-
poses an accountableness to some higher authority, for otherwise
a trust might be changed at the pleasure of the trustee.
" If it be said that the enactment of a Bill of Pains and Pe-
nalties is only the exercise of a constitutional power, I answer,
that no surconnitutional power can be constitutionally exercised:
How can a breach of the law be conformity to law?
" Though, therefore, this Bill of Pains and 'Penalties should
be solemnly enacted, it may not be the less an unconstitutional
ace. Perhaps it will be said,' What then, cannot Kings, Lords,
and Commons do as they please ?' I answer, No. Their power
is only a trust, limited by law ; and what is a trust, never can
suppose unrestrained volition or arbitrary agency.
s` If the power of Kings, Lords, and Commons, is limited by
the fundamental laws of the realm, their acts are net binding
when they exceed those limitations. If it be asked,' What-then,
are Kings, Lords, and Commons, amenable to any higher autho-
rity distinctly answer, Yes. To what higher authority ?
To that of Goa and of,the People !"
Her MAJESTY is to receive the Address from.
the Householders and Married Ladies of the Parish of
Mary-la-Bonne on Monday next, at Brandenburgh-
House. Preparations are making to form a grand
procession : the carriages for which are to assemble
at eleven o'clock in Welbeck-street.

The QUEEN returned from the House of Lords yes-
terday about three o'clock. Shortly after her MA•
JESTY'S return, she received a Deputation of five per-
sons with an Address from Portsmouth. Her MA-
JESTY set out for Brandenburgh House at half-past
six o'clock.

Extract of a letter from Calais, dated August 28 :

" A person embarked here yesterday, in a packet specially
provided for the purpose by the English Consul, to give e►idence
against the Quint. The Consul got an English Lieutenant of
Marines of the name of F. to take charge of the witness to
don, and he was particularly directed to allow of no commurd.
cation between the witness and any person on the road. They
were not to land at Dover, but somewhere ehe on the coast."

It is curious that, since the exposure of the wit-
nesses who acknowledged the receipt of large sums
of money for their testimony, every fresh deponent
swears not merely that he receives nothing, but that
he expects nothing even by way of travelling expenses.
Nay, one exclaims, with an air •f. great naivete—
" What our► Ito expect ? I expect nothing. I have
brought money with me to go back." He shrewdly
adds, however, "If they give me something, I will
take it."

One of the points most dwelt upon with such pant-
ing horror, in the ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S speech was,
that the QUEEN had been seen sitting on a bench
'with BERGAMI at half-past one o'clock in the morn-
ing !! It turns out, from the examination, that, ac-
cording to the Italian reckoning of time, this " more
than midnight hour" was, in fact, about nine o'clock
in a summer evening.
Chevalier SCRIAVINI, to whom frequent allusion
was made by Majocci, and Colonel OLIVIERI, an:
rived on Wednesday night, to be in attendance when-
ever iliey may be called on the QUEEN'S defence.

DISTURBANCE IN ST. JAMES'S-3417.41M

Between four and five o'clock yesterday tvelittg,
Mr. Mills, of Bristol, arrived in St. James's-squire,
to fulfil, as he said, the promise he made to the pc,..
pulace there assembled on Wednesday. He ha,
just commenced an address to the people, dtvrip.p.:
which, he said, he intended to propose a Petition rr
the KING, imploring his MAJESTY to suspend tht
proceedings now investigating in Parliament, Wig-r.
a large body of police officers made their way thron;
the crowd to the 'coach on which Mr. Mills and ti-t
lor two friends were standing ; they immediate:-
seized Mr. Mills, and one individual who made him-
self very active in .oppbsing the constables. 171,.
police, on Mr. Mills being taken into custody.,
ceeded through Pall-mall, where they secured son::
more persons. The populace insulted the cifF.:e%
and used every violence tending .to irritate then-.
On arriving h Cockspur-street, they resorted to/lit
brick-bats which were lying there,and tearnrencrr...z.
desperate attack upon them. The brick-fiats Am.
all directions, and several of the police took refs c
in shops, but Mr. Mills and some others were 2-6 r
into coaches and conveyed to Bow-street.
The officers produced the papers found upon M-.
Mills, which were copies of the proposed
and ruled papers for signatures.
Mr. BIRNIE, the Magistrate, asked him if he avowed biztize*.:i'
the author of the Petition ?—Vr. Mills. I do.

Mr. BIRNIF.—Then put him and the others to the bar.
Mr. Mills and the other defendants were accordingly put bt
the place appropriated for felons.
Mr. LIIIMF.—What are you, and where do you live ?-31r.
Mills. I am a Gentleman, and reside at No. 7, Charing-trots
Mr. Ilimms.—The term Geditcrizan is very vague; he mere
explicit.—Mr. Mills. You may nct understand it; but I era
give no other answer.

Mr. liieNir--Why, we know you are the teerer of a brwd:.--
house.

Mr. Mills started back in astonishment, and, in a tone of the
strongest indignation, exclaimed, " A bawdy-house! Gracioao
Goo! how dare you, hir, make such an assertion. lam a Gen-
tleman and a man of honour, and never was in a bawdy-ho..:se
in my life."
Mr. BIRNIE smiled ; and Mr. Mills repeated his exclamaticte,
and seemed almost bursting with indignation ; upon which t.ht
former said, " This man has sworn a profane oath twice, 2,,,d
let some one give an information against him for that otlere:,,
and I will hear it."—This, however, was not done.
The above circumstance was afterwards explained. Sowe
officious person had put a written paper into Mr. EIRNIE'S ha,
declaring that Mr. Mills kept a brothel. Mr. IL acknoseltde,,.d
the mistake, and tore the paper, but refused, on Mr. 'Mills's .y.
plication, to mike any other apology.
Mr. M. was asked if he was a housekeeper in Westminster sr
in Middlesex, and replied in the negative.
Mr. Brame.—Then what right have you to address the islet.
bitauis of either?—Ur. Mills. As an Englishman, I conceive t
have a right to address my countrymen wherever and on what-
ever subject I please ; and if I ant wrong, I should like to be
instructed by those who know better.
He was asked by whom the Petitiot,s were printed, but dr-
ained telling. lie explained, in answer to other questidns, that
this Petition was almost a verbatim copy of that presented to
the House of Lord% at his instance, by the Duke of Leinster a
fortnight ago, and which was rejected by the House.
Mr. BIRNIE.WIIOIII can you refer to that knows you is
London?—Mr. Mills mentioned the Duke of Leinster, Le:l
Waldegrave, Sir F. Burdett,•and several other distinzuishtd
characters.

3fr. ilianz.—But they are not here.
111 r. Mills (smiling).—Nor is it likely they will be ! lie
wished to know if the Constables had a right to seize his paper.?
There was a private letter among them.
Mr. Bratirs.—l shall not answer that. A Constable, in case
of riot, has a very superior power.
Mr. Mills said, he had no intention to commit a breach of rile
peace. If he had had any conception that Ills conduct w0..14
have been noticed by the Police, he would not have gone.
The Magistrates said, that to make an-lnfiammatory hararz7e
was a breach of the peace ;• and Mr. Mills had no right to ad-
dress a Meeting not legally convened.
Mr. Mills denied that he had made an inflammatory harangue.
The Magistrates then consulted, and Mr. Besse? informed
Mr. Mills, that it was their opinion that he should find bait,
himself in £2OO, and two sureties in £lOO each, and that he
should give forty-eight hours' notice. This, however, was after.
wards altered to twenty-four hours.
Mr. Mills said he could procure bail immediately; but the
Magistrates said they must have the required notice.
Mr. Mills.—! appeal to you, Mr. as a Gentleman, to
allow me to go home, or to consult with my friends, and ..1:o
procure some linen, if I am to go to prison.—To this no ::is it
was returned, and Mr. Mills was taken away.
At eight o'clock Mr. Mills was brought up again,
when Major Cartwright and a Captain Williams
tendered themselves as bail for him. Mr. BIRSIE
expressed his high opinion of the worthy Major, and
regretted that he was under the necessity of refusing
his being bail, in consequence of the recent trial, in
which the Major was convicted. Eventually Captain
Williams, of No. 2, Strand, was accepted as one bail,
and Mr. Benbow as the other.

The other persons charged with disorderly conduct
were reprimanded and discharged.
