House OF REPREsENTATIvEs
CONNECTICUT.
IRursdau. Octobcr l8.

After the roll was called this morning,
The speaker requested Mr.. Samuel Hart,
jr. TO rise in his place, that the cbjet& Of
The resolution past last evening, might be
carried into effect.
Mr.. Hart did moi rises The speaker a
second time requested him TO rise in his
place: MIR. Hart observed that he did not
know Of any rule OF the house, which com
peeled hlsn to rise; if there were any such
rule, he wished toknow it. The speaker
then declared tiat in his opinion the rules
of the house required il:hi MIR. Hart should
rise 10 receive the reprimand, bot if he
was wroaa ~ his opinion5 the house would
cOrre6t BIN.
Mr.. Dagset. then remarked, that il
there were no specific rule of The house
which compcie'i member to rise when
particularly asid-eSs-,lby he speaker. COM
mon decency and prop,ieiy required it.
There was no lay which compelled man
10 rise in court of justice when addressed
by the conft! 1t is thing SO plain aud
so commonly understood, that there is no
necessity OF making a rule--;hc common
understanding Of mankind dictates what is
proper and decent in such cases, sc.
tIe was followed by some other gentle
men 10 the same efe6t.
Mr.. Huntingdon (of Sufrieldj then OBJ
served .hat though il was proper enough
that VIZ. Hart should rise to receive the
rewimaDd, yet he knew of no rule of the
house upon the subjeGl.;--and moved that
the sense of the house be taken OH the
question.
Mr.. Judson followed him to the same er-
feel.
Mr.. Cleveland then remarked that if
there weren't rule of the house which com.
p-lIed him to rise, he trusted the house
could make rule to get him out Of it, and
would do it pretty soon, &c.
The sense Of the house was then taken
on the question, and they approved OF the
decision made by The speaker.
MIR. Hart then rose and the speaker pro-
ceeded TO reprimand hini. No ackuow-
ledgment was made by Mr.. Hart.

TEE FR1GATEs.-The French frigates
In Syhelle and Ddon, which passed He'll
gate en- Friday afternoon, were seen at a.
bout 10 O'Clock ON Saturday morning, OF
Plumb Isllud, nearthc outlet Of the Sound,
with a favorable wind. The British YES
sells of war being down near the Hook,
watching the mainentrance Of the harbour,
did not get out till Saturday morning at
day break, being DELAYED by head wind
and opposing tide, which prevented their
beating out. 1t is said, that at 10 o'clock
on Saturday, they were still visible from
the light house.
The Frenchmsn have certainly ont ma
ncuvred the British, and while the latter
we're quietly watching the principal en-
trance to the harbor, have made their es-
cape through the postern.

On Monday evening last the ladies and
gentlemen of this city were highly graft
fed at the Theatre, by the exhibition of
play, performed by company Of young
gentlemen, for the beneiit OF the free
school: the play was the Point Of Honor.
the after piece Love ala Mode. Itwould
be doing great injustice to the merits OF
the young gentlemen concerned, not to
take public notice oil the characters. The
part of Colonel st. Franc was supported
by a gentleman Of the name Of Briers, who
performed II in style equal to any thing
that we ever witnessed. The Durimel of
MIR. Murray Was chaste, elegant and pa
thetic. The Valcour Of Mr.. Chiffon WAS
lively and interesting. Steinburgh by MIR.
Woodson was performed in very mas
terry manner. These were the principal
Charactcrs-we must not, howevcr, omit
doing justice to the gentlemen who per-
formed the parts Of Mrs. Mclrort and Ber-
tina, tho former, Mr.. Seaton, exhibited ,ha,
maternal anxiety for the future happiness
of her daughter, that mothers in general
ought to feel whilst the latter (Nr.
Glynn) feeling the sensibilily of the char.
acter, seemed to breathe the pure spirit
Of disinterested love in short, Bertha wa:
the most interesting male figure we have

seemed not to be up TO the New Market
Lingo. Sir Calaghan O'Bralaghan (Mr.
LIE MOyne) was admirable, ne spoke the
broguc in as pretty style as if b. had
been a son Of St. Patrick. The part oil
Charlotte by Mr.. Briers (the gentleman
who performed ST. Franc in the play was
still greater proof of his talents. III short,
the whole of the performance exceeded
any attempt Of the kind We have ever
known, and we sincerely wish the same
company may, at a future period perform
for some such laudable purpose; when
we prophecy a crouded and brilliant au-
dience will attend, to promote their patri'
otto intentions.
