DI?UitY LANE TIiE.ITRII

The performance of Oratorios commence 3 at this
Theatre yesterday evening, under the able direction
of Sir GuonGt SMART. Ile first pact consisted of
a Selection of the most popular Pieces from the
Messiah. The sublime air of " Comfort ye, my
people," was finely given by Mr. BRAHMA ; and the
very difficult and impressive air, " Rejoice greatly, 0
daughter of Zion," was sung by Mrs. SALMON with
the most exquisite felicity and power of execution.
MISS Conn[, who recently made her debut at the Ita-
lian Opera, executed the air " Angels ever bright and
fair," with great success. Her upper notes had more'
than her usual degree of fullness and rotundity. She
was received with the liveliest applause and encored.
The second part was BEETHOVEN'S
Mount af Olivet ;
after which Miss Conn[ introduced the beautiful air
of ZINGARELL, " Qacdo sal the sifuriesto," with the
happiest effect. A charming concerto on the violon-
cello was next given by Mr. LINDLEY, and raptur-
ously applau&d. The performance closed with a
Miscellaneous Selection, containing several of the
most popular airs of the best composition. The most
admired were! " My lodging is on the cold ground,"
by Mrs. SALMON ; " IS there a heart that never lov'el
by Mr. BRAHMA; and Madame CATALANI'S favou-
rite air, " Nei cor piu non nii senio," composed by
PAISIELLO, which Miss CORM gave with great eclat.
The House was respectably tilled. We never heard
a musical performance more admirably arranged or
exquisitely performed, or more entitled to universal
encouragement.

THE SPANISH FIDDLER.

FROM Madrid to London a fiddler came o'er,
A spruce little monkified elf;
Don Mondongo his name, and bed sear= got on shore
Ere a boot shewed the shape of himself.
No person was nigh, and he knew not the way,
So thus he the vision address'd—
Will you to a lodging direct me I pray?
And bow'd low with his hand on his breast.

The figure too bowed, but we well may suppose
It forbore to the Don to reply;
For tho' Warren's Blacking er.eli feature bright chews,
Yet talking it cannot supply.
The Don'he looked hard, bowed again, scraped his foot,
And repeated his bumble request ;
Every action was mimicked by hint of the host,
But still not a word it addressed.
" Strange!" echoed Moodongo, while trembled bls frame,
Bet I'll try what my music will do ;
He drew out his fiddle-4he form did the sane ;
The Don was amazed, and withdrew.
The first man he met to the vision be took,
And learned that his speech he'd been making
To himself in a boot, that reflected each look
By the beauty of Warren's Jet Zeldin /
The above truly inestimable BLACKING i: prepared by

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, FEBRUARY 27.

The Minister of the Interior presented in the name
of the King, a Project of Law relative to the qualifi •
cations of persons to be Members of the Chamber. It
proposes that no person shall be eligible who is not
at the day of his election aged 40 years complete, and
in the payment of 1000 francs of direct contributions.
To be discussed on Monday next.

French 5 per Cents. Friday, 61 fr. 40 c.

We informed our Readers yesterday that the Court
of Madrid had resolved to establish four Free Ports
in Spain, viz. Cadiz, St. Andero, Corunna, and Ali-
:ant, where all kinds of goods were to be admitted
free of duties, and allowed to be exported thence to
all parts of South America, on paying, as was said,
only three per cent. at the time of exportation. This
intelligence caused a considerable sensation in the
City, certain Agents of the Spanish Government
having, for some time, been negotiating in London
site sale of Licenses, purporting to be, exclusive pri-
♦ileges for the shipping of goods to Vera Cruz. In
consequence, many Merchants had embarked in sfe-
culations to enjoy the benefits of this exclusive privg
lege. These licenses being very expensive, the decree
,was considered in a light short of swindling, and
caused considerable alarm ; but that part of the ru..
moor which stated that the new free trade was only
to 14 subjected to a 3 per cent. duty, does not, from
the Decree itself, which we subjoin, appear to be
correct:—

SOCIETY OF ANCIENT BRITONS.

Yesterday (Sunday being St. David's Day) the one
hundred and fourth Anniversary Festival of this be-
nevolent Institution was celebrated. At ten o'clock
in the morning Lord Viscount BELORAVE, as Presi-
dent, several of the Vice-Presidents, Stewards, &c.
assembled in the Board-room of the School-house, in
Gray's Inn-lane-road, to breakfast. During break-
fast a Military Band attended in the yard and played
a great number of airs. The Boys, eighty in number,
were drawn up in line in the yard, all in new cloth-
ing, with leeks and bows of white ribbon in their hats,
where they went through the manual exercise with
great precision, the word of command being given
by Mr. DAVID Josxs, the Schoolmaster. At eleven
o'clock the procession from the School to the Church
commenced, in the following order :
A Standard, carried by a man, with the Prince's Plume
painted on it.
75 Boys, with silver leeks in their hats, and white favours.
twenty-four Girls, with silver leeks and white favours, accom-
panied by their Governesses.
Beadles and Officers.
A Military Band, and the City Marshal on horseback.
The procession was closed by the private carriages of
Lord Viscount Belgrave, Sir Christopher Cole, Bart. Sir
Charles Morgan, Bart. Burgess, Esq. Hugh Ste-
phens, Esq. Jeremiah Evans, F.sq. John Bennett, EA,: Edw.
Jones, Esq. John Jones, Esq. M.P. Edward Owen, hsci. Da-
vid Allen, Esq.
They proceeded to St. George's Church, Hanover-
square, which was crowded to excess. Prayers were
read in the Ancient British language by the Rev.
THOMAS ALBAN, their Chaplain. The Sermon was
preached in English by the Bishop of LANDAFF from
Proverbs, chap. '29. 15th verse.
At six o'clock a very numerous compar.y sat down
to an excellent dinner, at the Free Masons' Tavern,
Lord BELORAVE in the Chair, supported by the Bi-
shop of LANDAFF and Sir WATKIN W. WYNN, Lord
BERKELEY, and many other Noblemen and Gentlemen.
After the usual toasts, songs and glees were given,
the Noble Chairman announced, that the children
would walk around the room—a most interesting
sight, as his Lordship justly observed. The venerable
Treasurer of the Society, It. EDMUNDS, Esq. preceded
80 boys and 25 girls, amid the loudest plaudits.—
After which 24 boys and girls sung an Ode, written
on the occasion by Mr. PARRY, which seemed to
affect the generous-hearted Cambrians.—The Stew-
ards went round and collected more than a Thousand
Pounds. while the band and harps played alternately.
On the health of the Noble Chairman being given,
his Lordship returned thanks, and informed the CQM-
pally that the School was enlarged, and that although
upwards of 23001. had been expended last year, the
Treasurer had more by 10001. in hand. and that
it was the intention of the Governors to admit.My
ware ckildrefe on the Establishment. He concluded
by giving the health of the President of the Charity,
Sir W. W. Wynn.—Many other toasts were given,
and mitt)) and harmony prevailed till a late hour.

PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.
Mr. II ART DAVIS presented a Petition from the City of
Bristol, praying for a Reform of Parliament. The Petition, be
said, was signed by twcnty names; this was a novel system
of petitioning. Several hundred Petitions of this description
bad already been signed at Bristol, and would be forwarded in
a few days to London ; and Bristol, be believed, would send up
in all above a thousand of them. He could say, however, that
this Petition did not express the sentiments of his constituents,
who were friends to the Constitution, ima enemies w radical
Reform.
Mr. PROTHEROE presented a similar Petition, signed by
wily 20 persons. It prayed that all male persons, who were not
infants, insane persons, and criminals. should be admitted to
vote for Members of Parliament. The Petition had the merit
at being precise, temperate, and respectfuL He himself was a
friend to moderate Reform, but not to that species of Reform
yed for in this Petition.
WATER COMPANIES.

Mr. M. 4. TAYLOR gave notice, that it was his intention
to Admit a measure to the House for the Inner regulation of
Water Companies. The lamentable want of orate- for so long
a time after the arrival of the fire engines, bad added very much
to the ravages of the file in the metropolis yesterday morning.—
It was his intention to bring forward some measure by way of
remedying this evil, and providing that a supply of water should
be given to the Public in cue of fire. lie could only for the
present give a general notice of his intention, without fixing any
particular time.
The Steam Boat an was read a second time, and ordered to
be committed on Friday the 13th instant.

may be said to suggest this intimation; but the baneful conse-
quences I daily hear of, from taking the spurious Medicines at-
tempted to be sent into circulation under the sanction of my
Grandfather's name, compel me to male it. I now sign my
name in the label of each boa and packet of the Pills and Powder
that is sent from my Elaboratory, as a plain distinction of the

CLIMBING BOYS.

Lord HOLLAND presented a Petition from cer-
tain Master Chimney Sweepers of London and West-

Boys in' sweeping chimnies, and in favour of the
Chimney Sweepers' Regulation Bill.
Petitions to the same effect were also presented
by Lord PRUDHOE, from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and
Kingsland, Dalston, Scc.; by the Earl of Lst:ov.it-
DALE, from Hackney, Homerton, and Claptor. : by
Lord HOLLAND from Clerkenwell ; and by the Earl
GROSVENOR from Chester. On presenting the last
mentioned Petition, the Earl GROSVENOR hoped that
this horrible practice would be put an end to by the
Legislature. Ile Earl of LAUDERDALE was desirous
there should be evidence before the House to prove
that all the chimnies in England could be swept by
means of rqachinery. The Earl of GROSVENOR said
there would be ,evidence on the subject before the
House. The Bishop of CHEsran concurred in the
object of the Petition, and hoped the practice would
be abolished.—The several Petitions were ordered
to lie upon the table.

which gave her the opportunitT of detectmg the illi-
cit traders, under whatever disguise they may con-
ceal themselves. Her cruizers could no longer visit,
either on the high seas or on the coast of Africa, ves-
sels carrying the flag of any other powcr ; and at the
same time, those Powers adopted no measures for
securing the execution of the prohibitive laws, which
they themselves had made, respecting. this object, or
to superintend the conduct of their subjects in place
so very remote. This neglect, perhaps, was nut vo-

means of suppression, still numerous ft ands and sub-
terfuges would have arisen.
If there be a single flag which Governments think
themselves bound to respect, and which the Power to
which it belongs either will not, or cannot, prevent
from covering a prohibited traffic, that flag will be
usurped by all slave-dealers, and will serve to pro-
tect their crimes.

Independently of these causes, the condemnation

efficacious measures will be taken for its definitive'

quisition of their criminal gains. Hence this tiaffic
has become more lucrative, and its profits are so
enormous, that these infamous men are induced, in
order to secure them, to brave all the dangers of
penalties and confiscation. The idea of the danger
is, besides, diminished in their eyes, when they con-

cannot be guarded on every point, and which thus
affords great facilities for their vessels escaping cap-

pose of inspecting the magazine of that ship, which
has been fitted up on an entirely new principle, to
guard against accidents, and render the stowage of
the gunpowder-barrel: more safe and commodious,

THE WHIMSICAL MISTAKE.

A. COUNTRYMAN says to a friend, tt prithee how
Don thou polish thy boots up so fair ?
I have tried many times, but the devil 2 glow
On my boots could I ever get there."
" Pooh ! go thee to WARREN, and soon very soon
Thy hoots shall In ecstacy shine ;
And the lasses who now call thee stupid and loon,
Shall see all their faces divine:
" Go to Wzitatv, and some of his Illtr7:i7tg procure"—
But Tom had forgot the word Blueing;
Ile went to the warren brae of the .rttnt.-,
And gether'd an armful of lirathir.;.
Home he budg'd with his !stacking, he brash'd and he
scrubb'd
At his boots till they look'd rather brownish;
Even till all their surface was vanish'd, he rubb'd,
flecks! then he look'd rather clownish.
Off be started to Dick, and he eall'd bun a knave,
For setting him on to get &racking,
To spoil his new boots, but Dick laugh'd in his sleeve,
Saying, " I told you, you clown, W.22RE:e3
" Go fetch the boots here !" WAR/uses Blocking was tried,
And soon brought the boots to their beauty,
Recover'd their surface, array'd them in pride, •
Tom scrateh'd his rough head in amazement, and cried
" WeitAL:4ll &amen indeed does its duty ."

FALMOUTH, OCTOBER 14.

Wind S. S. E.—Arrived the Isis, Tuaxacrr.s., from
London, for Trinidad. The following is an extract
from the log-book of the brig Enchantress, Roams.
which put in here on the 6th instant, with contrary
winds, from Liverpool to Rio Janeiro :—" Septem-
ber SO, Wicklow-head bearing N. N. W. distance 17
or 18 miles, fresh breezes and clear weather.--8 A.M.
Saw a strange schooner bearing by compass W. by S.
(Wind E. S. E.) distant about Ave miles, standing to
the southward, appeared to he a man of war. At
9 A. m. fresh breezes, saw the schooner disappear
. on
our starboard beam, an.! apparently go down stern
foremost; we supposed her to have struck on the
Codling Bank, bore away to close her. At 9. 30.
found ourselves in a heavy ripple of a tide, the sea
breaking round us ; hawled our wind to the south-
ward. At 10 A. M. saw the Richmond revenue
schooner, made a signal to her, she tacked towards
us; at noon spoke her and advised the Captain of the
sudden disappearance of the other schooner, we then
bore away and made sail."

DREADFUL MURDER.

Last night, about eight o'clock, the neighbourhood
of the Elephant and Castle, in the Kent-road, was
thrown into great confusion and alarm by the dis-
covery of a horrid murder, committed upon the
body of a fine girl, about four years of age. A man
named Dean, intimate in the family of the deceased.
requested permission to take the child out to purchase
sortie apples ; this was granted, and on his return he
seized a case knife, and nearly severed the child's
head from her body. No cause can be assigned for
the dreadful 'act, as the villain had professed the
greatest affection for the infant. The neighbours
immediately went is ptitsuit of the murderer, but
up to ten o'clock this morning, no traces had been
discovered of his retreat. The lateness of the hour
at which the account reached us, prevents our giving
the full particulars of this melancholy event, which
we understand will appear in the Sunday Monitor
,to-morrow.

GOTTINGEN SEPTEMBER 23.

Counsellor Ndlcke, the Royal Commissioner, re-
turned to Hanover on the 15th, to resume his ordi
nary functions. Immediately after his departure there
appeared a rescript from the Ministry of Hanover,
v 1; ich, by the express orders of the Prince Regent,
names a commission, to inquire into the declaration'
to decry the University, (called Verrufs-Erklacrung)
.t::d respecting its authors and supporters.
'The Professors charged with the inquiry, under'
the direction of M. Putt, protector, specially ap-
p..inted, are M. Eichun, jun. Hugo, Himly, aud TM-
baud. They have already began their task, the result
of which it is the less easy to foresee, as the depar-
ture of the greater number of the persons interested
has caused difficulties which "cannot be removed en-
tirely by the certain inclination of foreign Govern-
Incas to concur with the Prince Regent's object, re-
I tive to the general existence of the German Univer-
sities, but winch, at all events, canna delay the en-
quiry into the source of the evil in question.

FRANKFORT, Sl:irrE7rll3Fß 24.

'rue autumnal fair isnow drawing to a close. Since
rile return of ycace we have had no fair here so good

as this has hew. In general, people are meal sttis-1
fled with the business that has been done. Of Eng=
fish manufactured goods there was not a sufficient
quantity in the market to supply the demand ; and
what there was were offered at higher prices than on
preceding occasions, and than was to be expected
after the experience of last year. Owing to these cir-
cuwstances the manufacturers from Switzerland and
Saxony enjoyed this time an uncommon demand for
their articles.
As there was not the least reason to complain tl.;s:
fair that the market was overstocked with English
goods, it should almost seem that the English are
weary of selling at disproportionally low prices, to
their own prejudice ; for it has been calculated that
in former years English manufactured goods have
been thrown away, frequently below prime cost.—
This is now attributed to the immense accumulation
of goods in the English warehouSes during the di-
minished demand, while the continental system was
in force, which compelled the manufacturers to use
extraordinary means to clear off their too great stock,
so that it is hoped that, henceforward,-all gill return
to a certain natural course, which will enable the
German manufacturers, to bear the competition.

HANOVE.R., SEPTEMBER 21.
In our times, when, notwithstanding the general
distress, Intury has spread among all classes, and
produccd the most fatal effects, we may consider as
a citcumstance equally fortunate and remarkable,
the resolution entered into by some communes of one
of the most wealthy provinces of this kingdom,
which having commercial intercourse with Holland,
is not unztctivainted with the enjoyments of luxury.—
In order to set limits to it, the communes of the Bail-
liagea of Dubden, Bat nstoriT, Itussen, and Diepholz,
have delivered to the Baiiliage a resolution, which
suppresses all useless and superfluous articles of orna-
mental dress, such as hats of silk or velvet, trimmed
with lace or ribb2nds, silk gowns and aprcns, silk
handkerchiefs for the neck above a yard and a quarter
long, all kinds of laces, fringes, galloons, &c. hati
(bonnets) adorned with gold and silver, necklaces,
ear-rings, shoe-buckles made of the precious metals,
as well as tobacco-pipe bowls, watch-chains, and
spurs of the same kind ; those who transgress to pay
a fine of five francs for the benefit of the poor.

BTRLIN, SEPTEMBER 26.

They speak-of t}-e marriage of our Crown Prince
with the daighter of the Hereditary Grand Duke of
Mecklenburg Schwerin, a niece of his Majesty the
Emperor Alexander. This Princess was educated at
the Court of Russia, and it is pretended that the
young pair were betrothed during the visit at Moscow.
Earlier alliances between the houses of Hohenzollern
and Mecklenburg give this report a great degree of
probability; nor should it be forgotten that it ap-
pears from history that our Sovereigns and heredi-
tary Princes have mostly chosen their consorts from.
the houses of little Princes.
