Ste—Among the advantages". which will, he
wined by Messrs. Komi)le, li.irris end Son's per-
formance of their Treaty with the Public, must
n it be forgotten the salvation of many of their
Friends from the indiscretion of "an ardent
mind." In plain English, the Magisfratea would
nut have dared to send, toThe Felons' Dungeon,
at the Ilrozen Bear, the majority of the persons
brought before them, but for the perjury of the
witnesses produced against them. Some conside.
ration is, therefore, due to the these Friends of
Meisrs. ICemble, Harris, and who so oblig.
ingly humbled themselves, without even au
eipectatioo of future exaltation. What an
heroic Spectacle, Sir, we should have beheld,
but for Mr. Clifford's good-nature ! ! ! !
The only objection I have heard to the immediate
removal of the Private Boxes is, that it is not quite
couvenient to returu the 12,0001. Messrs. Kemble,
Barris, and SJI, have received fur them ; a sum
amounting, as Mr. Scrjeant Best truly said, to
eight per cent. an these Gentlemen's capital.
The complete and speedy removal of this grievance
is, iu every view of it, of the utmost import-
ance; but in none so much as•an example to the
Owners of other Theatres, now about to be built
or rebuilt. lf, Sir, Mr. Bull had passed unnoticed
the one tier at Covent-gartlei, we might, per-
haps, have been honoured with two tiers at Drury_
lane. Never let us forget the important distinc-
tion betwc an Italian Opera-house and an
English plar-house. The former has so little of
public belonging to it, as to be almost, it nut al-
together, a private concern ; while the latter has
so little of priVate, as to be altogether a public
Theatre.

After all that has passed, confidence is out of
the questiqu. Old Prices are our only security
fur the removal of one of the greatmt nuisances
ever attempted to be imposed on a generous Public.

A treaty has been cunclatled between the Go-
vernor of the Indian territory anit, the Miami,
Puwtawatany, and the Lel River Tribes of Indians,
who have ceded to the United States 62,600,000
Peres of land lying on both skies of the Wabash,
said to be some of the finest land in the United
States.
Ti.e birth-day of the daughter of Louis •XVI.
Duchess d'A Noon Li E, who entered her 32d year,
was cdebrated tor Tuesday, by the Comte and
Cumtesse de LILLE, at Hartwell-house. MoN-
' StEUR, and all the root of the Members of the
Holm of Rouitaosr, together with the Due de
StInnENT, and all the other French nubility now
in England, paid their respects upon the occasion.
On Saturday last, Sir TIIOII As Brcvon,
Mr. FLE.LOWES, Mr. POST'S., Mr..J.aar,and Mr.
Jun N ilowr.rrT, the Members of the Private Cont.
tnittec of the Norfolk Corn Growers, assembled at
' the Rampant Horse, Norwich, to close their
counts, and to meet their friends, pursuant to their
advertisements. A good plain dinner was prepared
fur 100 pawls, but only 30 gentlemen sat down
'tto table. The Chairman, Sir 'l'. Rt:e.vort, and
other Members of the Committee, retired between
I six and seven o'clock, and the company separated
soon after.

On Wednesday evening, the L sox' MAYORESS
of Tuna gave a most splendid ball and supper t•
a number of the principal inhabitants of that city
and neighbourhood. The ball-ruom exhibited a
striking display of In pity and fashion, anti was
decorated in a most elegant and tasteful manner,
with wreaths of flowers and various beautiful
transparencies ; the fluor was chalked with pleas-
' ing devices, which hail a very agreeable effect.—
About one o'clock the party went to the supper-
' room, where every delicacy of the season, aid
the choicest wines, &c. were in great profusion.
The dancing recommenced between two and three,
and continued with much spirit until a very late
hour. Nearly 300 earth; of invitation were issued.
On Tuesday morning early, a boat, with one
nll4 on board, was discovered making oat of
Dover Harbour, and one of the hovellers being
on the South Pier (lead, who knew the boat, en.
quire', of the supposed owner w here he was go-
ing to by himself ; not receiving any answer, he
went to the further part ,of the head, and repeat-
ed his question, but still getting no answer, and
recollecting that several boats had been carried
off lately by unknown persons, lie desired the
sen4iel on the Head to challenge the boat, which
he accordingly did, and not receiving any answer
the third time, fired into the'boat, when the per-
son jumped from her, and swam to the North
Head, where he was taken by the other sentinel,
and conveyed to the guard-house. lie is thought
to be a' Lieutenant de Valssvau, who has broke
his parole.
The following circumstance occurred on Thurs-
day lust, between Penrith and Mater' Moore, one
of the most mountainous parts in England, where,
within these few days, an Immense quantity of
snow had fallen, which renders travelling in that
part of Cumberland extremely diffictilt,.and al.
most impracticable. Asa Mr. Campbell was pro-
ceeding in that direction, in company with a sol-
dier, of the name of flume, on his return from
Walcheren, dreadfully debilitated by the malady,
the cold wit so intense, that they were frequently
obligtal to timber on their hands sad knees fur
several yards ; when Borne, at length, became
perfectly exhausted, and was unable to proceed
any further. Mr. C. then, notwithstanding the
snow was beginning to fall very thick, with much
difficulty and exertion, reached the residence of
Mr. Kidd, at Alitmi, whum he could not relate
the circumstance for !warty a quarter of an hour,
being quite speechless; when, after recovering
himself, and making known the case of his hav-
ing left his fellow-traveller behind him, upwards
of sixty miners were instantly collected, who pro-
ceeded in every direction In search of Burns,
whom they at last found almost covered with
snow, and apparently lifeless-'—on w hich they
tdopted,such means as their experience hail taught
them to bring him to animation, which, after
some time, proved effectual; but it is [mold that
he n ill leas the use of his limbs.

Tllo.W.lsis' DAY.


An unprecedented bustle and tumult pervided
most of the Wards in the City yesterday, on the
Election of fresh Conimiiii.Ciitineilme.i. The op.
priiitic►n to the.suverai 31embers wh.. voted for re.
seinding the original Address to his M.ir, &Ns. r, was
extremely strong, and in most cases likely to be
avccessful. In other IY.Ards, where no opposi.
(ion has been started, thi*eireumstanco is tint to
be attributed to the diiiinclination of the Elec.
tors towards their olli Representatives, but to the
Is ant of proper Candidates °filming themselves.
Those marked are Members who voted for
Mr. ATKA ss's Address ; and those marked • aro
new Candi.:ates. The Poll in the contested
Wards continue open this dry and to.mor.
row.
