presented. Mr. STEPHEN KEMBLE undertook the part
of the Miller, but he and the rest of the Performers
were prevented from finishing their respective cha-
racters to the understanding of the audience, by the
following occurrence s—At the commencement of die
second act, the King is entertained at the Miller's
table, who proposes his Majesty's health as a toast.
The audience received it with great applause, but a
person from one of the galleries having cried out—
" Drink the Queen's too!" his suggestion gave rise
to a contest so vehement that nothing from that mo-
ment could be heard from the Stage, until Mr. Rvs-
SELL, the Stage Manager, came forward to address
them. He represented briefly that the Performers
had introduced nothing which was not in the origi.
nal Piece, and as the Piece had been long established,
:he hoped they would hear it to the end. His appeal,
• • however, was ineffectual; hisses, cries of" Of! er"
land " Queen I esteem I" were continued to the end,
so that the remainder of the performance went off in
idurab skew.

Yesterday u pity of 180 Perscns chiefly iiier-
ehants connected with Spain; sat down to a sump'.
thous dinner at the Albion in celebration of the late
glorious re-establishment of Constitution in Spgin
(J. C. Ds Beasrat.es, Esq. hi the Chair), the dinner
having been deferred for sortie days, in ecinseqtience
of the disastrous events which took place in CAI.
The room was superbly decorated. In the call'e
hung a large transparency, containing three aals,
surrounded with laurel. On the top of the middle
one was the word CONSTITUTION, from which rays
of light Were seen descending an the Spanish arms;
and underneath, Faniarttann. Qn the two side ones
were inscribed the names of QUIROGA and Bison,
surrounded with rays of light. The transparency
was supported by two beautiful Spanish flags, and
opposite was a flag bearing the arms of the City of
London and the Union Jack. In the four corners of
the room were flags bearing the names of Auto-
AGUERO, MINA, Acevitoo, and AGAR, each sur-
rounded with a wreath of laurel. The tables were
decorated with garlands of flowers and appropriate
emblems, surmounted by small Spanish banners, on
Mich were the names of the chief battles fought in
Si ain during the late war. The tables were spread
with a profusion of every delicacy the season affords,
cl.oice wines-, &c. The Duke of Gloucester's band
played Spanish national airs during the repast.
The cloth being removed, the venerable PitICSIDENt
rose and observed, that the dinner at which he had
the honour to preside, was given by the Patriotic
Spaniards resident in this country, with a view to
celebrate one of the grandest and most important
events that had occurred in modern times. It was
to celebrate the trinmph of the Spanish Constitution,
proclaimed by the Cortes in 1812, and the consequent
di wnfhl of a debased system of government, which
had unfortunately been pursued in Spain, contrary
to the wishes of the people. The venerable Pre ident
concluded in an emphatic wish that all the orders of
Spanish society would concur in the grand work
which had been begun, and go hand in hand with
the King is consolidating the affairs of the nation, in
firm reliance on the wisdom and patriotism of the
Cortes, Which were about to assemble. Thus would
all the wounds of the State be healed, and thus
should we see a Constitutional King—beloved by his
subjects, and feared by his enemies.
He then proposed the following toast:
" The Spanish Nation, glorious and tnagnanimous in tbt vin-
dication of its Rights."
This was drank with immense applause, and a
song composed for the occasion, to a national tune,
was sting; amidst the acclamations of the company.
Several other appropriate toasts were given, and
received with considerable applause; but it is nit in
the power of language to describe, the enthusiasm
with which
" The heakhs of Quiet** and Rico, With their brave coin-
pinions in arms, who dared to assert their Country's Righter •
were received. The shouts of " Viva!" the waving
of handkerchiefs, in short, every expression of joy
and satisfaction, lasted for at least a quarter of an
hour; indeed, rapturous as is the usual declaration of
an Englishman's sympathy with- his favourite. politi-
cal sentiments, yet it is impossible for him to con-
ceive the tumultuous excitement which the mention
of these illustrious names produced.—Then followed,
" The Spani-h Patriots persecuted for the just cause."
On the latter toast being proposed,
Mr. GALLARDO rose up to express his thanks on
behalf of his fellow-countrymen alluded to. He de-
tailed the privations they had endured, the insults
and persecutions they had experienced, and the dis,-
maying circumstance of their companions in Spain
being dragged from prison to prison, loaded with
contumely. Yet for a Moment they never despaired;
they hoped eventually to triumph. Their cause was
just, and if they derived consolation, it was in wit-
nessing the sentiments expressed in their favour by a
large portion of the British community, and the sup-
port they found in the independent Press.
The Chairman now gave,
14 His Excellency the Dike de SAS CARLOS, Ambassador of
his Catholic Majesty."
The Duke de SAN CARLOS then rose, and spoke to
the following effect:—" Gentlemen, I rise with great
satisfaction to return you thanks for the honour you
have done me. The circumstances in which we are
placed make me truly sensib:e to this testimony of
your regard. I am flattered by your kindness, and
if I knew of any terms more expressive than "idlers
I would make use of them to convey to you the
sincerity of my acknowledgtm
I never was more happy than in the midst of my
countrymen ; but this Meeting I contemplate with pe-
culiar complacency. Such a union of persons, of sen-
timents, and of views, is an emblem of that harntony
and good will among men which form the delight of
private life, and the basis of public prosperity ; it is
an augur of our future happiness; and I trust that
the dignified moderation and patriotic affections
which this Meeting displays, will serve as a model
to the great Councils of the Nation on all important
concerns. The public Papers of this day have given
a Proclamation of his Majesty, which, if we wanted
any proofs of his love fdr his people, would be alone
a sufficient guarantee, and which places him among
the most generous f Sovereigns. No abridgment
of his former privileges, no surrender of personal
dignity, is to hint a painful sacrifice, if the happiness
of his subjects be the result ; and these, Gentlemen,
are the sublime sentiments, the unstudied declara-
tions which I .under very different circum-
stances, heard from, hii own mouth. I again thank
you, .Gentlemen, for the honour you have done me,
and the kindness you have shewn me."
The next toast was the health of " Sir Thomas
Dyer," who returned thanks in a speech full of energy
and simplicity.
Then came " The English Press advocating the
Liberties of Spain," which was highly applauded.
The evening was spent with the utmost convi-
viality, and the party broke up at a late hour.
All the speeches were in Spanish, except Sir
Thomas Dyer's.

The price of standard Silver, in bars, fell on Tut*.
day one halfpenny the ounce, being now. 4s. 011—
one halfpenny below the Mint price.
Monday afternoon, as Mr. Thomas SitAcittaicn,
a Student in St. John's College, Cambridge, was
bathing in the river Cam, near Newnham, he got oat
of his depth, and being unsabie M oritn, was drowned.

INCUBUS BOTANICUS; •
-on, THE NIGHT-MARE OF LINNMUS.

TRANSLATED FRONt THE SWEDISH.

I dreamt that I died, but that after my death, • -
I still was percipient clay ;
The Earth was my body, the Air was my breath,
And tity blood Bow d. in rivers away :
'l7lien Flora, who trampled ma ender her feet,
In gay colours daiic'd over :he ground ;
And what's more, my olfactory senses to greet,
Shed the balm of sweet olotirs around!
Ard she tall'd the gly Nymphs that attend in her train,
In colours so variously drest,
Ard, doffing the white shroud wherein I was lain,
They (Lined a quadrille on my breast !
And they took it in turn to figure away,
As their sbewing-off seasoa came round;
While lady Arunti soft music did play, •
And Diana beat time on the ground !

•
But Diana was taller than all the rest,
And her weight t with a,;ony bore;
When she starnis':.t, the blood B:,w'l up in my chest,
As Ur. title rises up on the silare ;
But m•- Lean was of rock in a mountain dell,
Whence torrents of livid did Bow ;
And the .Nyntrhi as they danc'd, and sipp'd at the well,
More blooming, and tresher did grow!

More modest than colourless scow,

DATodilla, the next, was a gaudy Miss,
With a yellow vest end a green gown;
She stoop'd and stet gave me a j•abulsy kiss,
And nodded her head with a frown.
For she viessf'd her fair rival step up by her side,
Ilyacinthia vested in bide,
Whom NirCliSLIl would surely have pick'd for his bride,
When bath'd in the morning dew ;
Det she gave place, in the warring round,
Tu a Nymph of great power to lure,
Aiaaryllis, whom all the fresh vallies resound •
With her fringes of crimson pure!

Who sets such a price on her features,
