made unconsciously serviceable in the same exclamatory line; and thus a trifle is compounded, which may live its fortnight. VESTRIS sang very pleasingly; but the music is chiefly selection, and of no pretension. Mrs DAVENPORT and KEELEY, as usual, shewed much comic power in filling up the meagre sketches assigned to them; and Miss JONES is very judiciously cultivating a line, for which the Scape Goat has proved her to have no mean talent. Her farmer's wife was very easy, spontaneous, and amusing. We scarcely need say, that the plot of this piece is to be found in the Italian novels, and a thousand other places. More might have been made of it. performing the part. My view of her character is still the same. She The reception of Mr KEAN in the United States has been dread-contrary to my common-sense view of her character. Still the town has fully rough and unfeeling, and the cruelty and absurdity with which one country must show that it possesses as fine a moral sense as another, are absolutely to be satisfied with nothing less than this able actor's destruction. The injustice of thus pursuing an individual to ruin, for offences that are passed over in characters which ought to be far more amenable, is really monstrous. Looking to the source too whence so much persevering acrimony has chiefly originated, it forms a most striking instance of the extreme stupidity of this social hueand-cry. Whatever the faults of poor KEAN, he certainly never "robbed the Exchequer;" and setting aside his talents, the proofs of his compassionate and benevolent nature are innumerable. We have no patience with Jonathan for thus affecting the moral Dandy, in pure fear of being deemed behind the Mother Country in virtuous apprehensiveness. Lady Teazle is advised to part with her honour to preserve her reputation. For "honour," read “humanity," and the case is exactly that of the anti-Keanites in the United States. Joseph Surface sort of doings these, at best! Q. MR KEAN'S RECEPTION AT NEW YORK. (From the New York Advertiser of Nov. 16.) On Monday evening Mr. Kean made his first appearance in Richard, at the Park Theatre. All parts of the house were crammed long before the curtain rose. At the commencement of the second scene, Mr Kean appeared, when the shouts of his friends and the hootings of those unfriendly, were almost deafening. He bowed, and appeared anxious to address the audience; but the tumult was so great that nothing could be heard. Mr. Simpson, the manager, came forward, and with great difficulty was heard to say that Mr Kean wished to be heard, and that he hoped an American public would not condemn him without a hearing. When he retired the uproar was renewed, and continued throughout the whole of the five acts to such a degree that Mr Kean's voice was not heard during the whole performance. He frequently attempted to address the house, but it was impossible for his friends to obtain for him a hearing. During the piece he was pelted with oranges, apples, &c. At the close of the play he was announced for Wednesday evening, in Othello, amid uproar and tumult. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY ADVERTIser. DEAR SIR,-In my great anxiety to ascertain how far I was right in my anticipation of the consequences of my playing Lady Tearle, I have ventured to look at all the papers this morning; and though the generality of them are highly flattering and indulgent, yet there are two which (as indeed I expected would have been the case with all) accuse me of folly and presumption in undertaking the character. There appears also to have been a feeling (which is extremely painful to me) that Mrs Davison has been displaced for my advancement to one of her cha racters. AFFAIRS OF THE LATE MANAGER OF DRURY LANE On Monday & Meeting of some of the creditors of Mr Elliston, who is now in the rules of the King's Bench prison, took place at Drury lane Theatre.-Mr George Robins opened the business. He said that it was with extreme regret he met the creditors of Mr Elliston upon such as occasion as his insolvency, but he came forward with proposals which be thought would be approved of, as best calculated to meet the condition of theatrical affairs, and to render the creditors secure with respect to their property. An Attorney then read a rough draught of a deed, which was to pledge the creditors who signed to give Mr Elliston a letter of license to be in force for the term of six years. MR EDITOR-With oppressed feelings, heart-rending to my friends and triumphant to my enemies, I make an appeal to that country famed for hospitality to the stranger, and mercy to the conquered. Allow me to say, Sir, whatever are my offences, I disclaim any intention of offering anything in the shape of disrespect to the inhabitants of New York. They received me from the first with an enthusiasm, grateful in those hours to my pride-in the present to my memory. I cannot recal to my mind any act or thought that did not prompt me to an unfeigned acknowledgment of their favours as a public, and profound admiration of the private worth of those circles in which I had the honour of moving. That I have committed an error, appears too evident from the all-de-Leamington Theatres to his creditors. This is not the fact. Mr Eitiscisive voice of the public; but, surely, it is but justice to the delinquent (whatever may be his enormities) to be allowed to make reparation where the offences were committed. My misunderstandings took place in Boston. To Boston I shall assuredly go, to apologise for my indiscretions. I visit this country now under different feelings and auspices than on a former occasion. Then I was an ambitious man, and the proud representative of Shakespeare's heroes;-the spark of ambition is extinct;-Lane, as lessee of a ready-furnished theatre. Therefore, it needs no conand I merely ask a shelter in which to close my professional and mortal career: I give the weapon into the hands of my enemies; if they are brave, In consequence of several inaccuracies in the published report of what took place at the above meeting, Mr. Robins addressed a letter to the Times, in which he says," It is stated that Mr Elliston proposed to mortgage the lease and wardrobe of the Olympic, Croydon, and ton's sons have been some years lessees of his Leamington property upon a fair and equitable rental; and as to the Drury Lane lease and wardrobe, so maliciously adverted to, I believe every shareholder of the Theatre have it in their power to contradict that part of the statement, inasmuch as their property, by the nature of the lease from the committee, can only be converted by Mr Elliston to the use of stage representation at Drury juration to discover that Mr Elliston had it not in his power to make the lease and wardrobe over to his sons for the purpose of cheating his creditors, as your informant would insinuate.The truth is, that since Mr Elliston's severe bodily affliction, his son has been delegated to manage his affairs by power of attorney in his father's name, and that he still continues so to do; but to state that Mr Elliston has made over the property of which the committee of proprietors are the sole guardians, only proves that there are people in the world so base as to deprive a man of the support of those friends which in the hour of adversity be stands so much in need of.-Mr Elliston has expended upwards of If by the remark, that he has committed an error appears too evident from the decisive voice of the public," Mr. Kean alludes to his conduct at Boston, and supposes that to be the ground of the unfavourable reception he has met with here, we can have no doubt he labours under a very serious mistake. It is primarily his moral conduct which excites the opposition of so large a portion of the citizens of New York to his appear-30,0001, in the improvement of the property of which he is the lessee, ance on the stage.

The daily papers of last week contain the following letters, addressed by Miss Kelly to Mr Wallack, the Stage-manager of Drury Lane Theaire Henrietta street, Nov. 27.' and to such a vast outlay, and his subsequent severe indisposition, are to be attributed his present difficulties. It is not for me to give publicity to what may be Mr Elliston's available property, but I can boldly assert, without fear of contradiction, that one fourth of the amount stated by your informant (90.0001.] and considerably less than the sum expended in the improvement of the theatre, would clear Mr Elliston from every peenniary difficulty: consequently his debts have " this extent no more."

But there is one thing wanting to give that happy completeness to her advent which belonged to it in the elder times, and without which it is like a beautiful melody without words, or a beautiful flower without scent, or a beautiful face without a soul: the voice of man is no longer heard hailing her approach as she hastens to bless him; and his choral symphonies no longer meet and bless her in return, bless her by letting her behold and hear the happiness that she comes to create. The soft 1 songs of woman are no longer blended with her breath, as it whispers among the new leaves; their slender feet no longer trace her footsteps in the fields, and woods, and wayside copses, or dance delighted measures round the flowery offerings that she prompted their lovers to place. before them on the village green. Even the little children themselves, that have an instinct for the Spring, and feel it to the very tips of their fingers, are permitted to let May come upon them without knowing from whence the impulse of happiness that they feel proceeds, or whither it tends.

ROYAL TRIBUNAL OF PARIS, DEC. 3.-M. DE BROE, the Attorney-General, commenced by expressing surprise at having to speak again on this subject, but the system of defence set up by the Counsel for the Constitutionnel had, he said, disfigured the facts, and it was therefore necessary to place them in their true point of view. M. DUPIN, the Counsel for the Constitutionnel, maintained that the Editors had a political object in attacking abuses which cover themselves with the cloak of religion, in pointing out the Ultramontane doctrines which inundate and besiege us, in combating the intrusion of monastic orders, the existence of which While man-man alone-lets the season come without glorying in it, and threatens our liberties, and may renew in France the troubles of which our when it goes, he lets it go without regret; as if" all seasons and their ancestors were the witnesses and the victims.-The Constitutionnel was change were alike to him; or rather, as if he were the lord of all sea- acquitted.-The following are the terms in which the President prosons, and they were to do homage and honour to him, instead of he to nounced the decision:-"The Court having considered the requisition of the Procureur-General of the King, dated the 30th of July 1825; baving OCTOBER is to London what April is to the country: it is the Spring considered the thirty-four culpatory articles extracted from the paper of the London Summer,-when the hopes of the shopkeepers begin to called the Constitutionnel, and having considered the law of the 17th of bud forth, and they lay aside the insupportable labour of having nothing March 1822, on the police of the journals,-resolve, that though many of to do, for the delightful leisure of preparing to be in a perpetual bustle. the articles contain expressions and improper phrases on serious subjects, During the last month or two, they have been strenuously endeavouring yet the spirit resulting from those articles is not of a nature to cast a slur on the respect due to the religion of the State; and likewise resolving, to persuade themselves, that the Steyne at Brighton is as healthy as Bond street, the pave of Pallmall no more picturesque than the pantiles that it is neither casting snch slur, nor abusing the liberty of the press, to of Tunbridge Wells, and winning a prize at one-card-loo at Margate as discuss and oppose the introduction into the kingdom of all establishments piquant a process as serving a customer to the same amount of profit.

Merilhou for the defence, the Court retired at two o'clock into the Council Chamber, and at three resumed its sitting. The first President, before he delivered the judgment, addressed the public, saying, that the Court had witnessed with regret in the last case, the manner in which its decision had been received. It hoped that to-day the assembly would be more respectful and preserve silence. He then pronouneed judgment in nearly the following terms :The Court upon article 3 of the law of the 17th of March 1822, and the demand of the Procureur General, considering that the greater part of the articles objected to be inserted in the Courier, although very blameable in their form, do not possess at bottom a sufficient character to affect the respect due to the religion of the state; and that, although in fact other articles do possess this character, yet they are by no means numerous, and have appeared under circumstances attended with mitigation, such as the establishment in France of religious orders not sanctioned by the laws, Ultramontane doctrines publicly preached by a part of the French clergy3 doctrines which tend to compromise the rights of the throne and the randy Sampled by our institutions - Declares, That there is no W grave of the villations For The death of General Foy has deprived. the army of a valiant and experienced commander, and France of an eloquent and courageous defender of its rights and privileges.

In various other respects, this victory over reviving Priestcraft is most timely and important, and in none more than by so completely exposing the real feelings of the French population. "The revolutionary times are returning," exclaims the wretched Quotidienne. The startled hypocrites are right: an English version of something of the sort, we are now satisfied, would at no distant time follow a mad perseverance in these bigoted attempts to restore the reign of Superstition and close government in France. ...Besides evincing this salutary truth, it is useful as an argument, that a Catholic population is not necessarily priest-ridden, and that, without abandoning the Roman faith, popish influence can be duly governed and counteracted. The liberties of the Gallican Church, so formally settled in 1682, have always been a very irksome affair to the Court of Rome, being in fact a more dangerous negation of Supremacy than the Protestant one, attacking as it does the spirit of the grand theocracy in the centre of its own pale. It is this theocracy alone which is politically obnoxious; and the cause of the Irish Catholics will be materially advanced, in distinterested English estimation, by the fact, that a Catholic state, of the importance of France, knows how to keep it under.

Mr BULLOCK, it seems, executed the drawings on the spot, from which the Messrs BURFORD have made this truly #plendid work of art. Several post-chaines were despatched on Sunday from Lombard street, with supplies of gold for country banks. The death of General For, too, by its impulsive effect on the French people, has most admirably elicited the genuine tenor of public opinion, and shown how untruly they are represented in their two miserably-constructed Chambers. The course of this highly respectable and able man was clearly that which accords with the sentiments of the vast majority of the French nation; and those who know the tone as of by far the larger part of the French publications, will be convinced that no artificial restraints will long prevent that general sense from effectively operating. At all events, it will paralyse the effects of thering force, as is always the case, from the confidence inspired by a burst of feeling so spontaneous. One of the most amusing things in the world is the brevity or complete silence of our own ultra papers on the occasion. A sympathetic chord vibrates between their theories and the cause of Priestcraft and Despotism all over the world; and whatever serves to show that a latent spirit of liberty exists, is regarded by them like the handwriting on the wall; and looking to the fullness of time, in respect to them and their doctrines, it may be deemed equally ominous. The Courier Francais very justly observes, that the sentence of the French Cour Royale will be of the greatest benefit to the Catholics, not merely in France, but in every other country; by shewing that it is not tip it, which too be the vile alloy which it was attempted to mix up with it, which is dangerous to society. It expresses a hope, that the fate of the Irish Catholics, as well as that of the Press of France, will have been decided by the acquittal of the two Journals. The Brussels papers contain a notice of the affairs of the Diet of Hungary, calculated to attract some attention. It appears that this Diet, which was opened with so much pomp, instead of proceeding with the expedition which the Emperor required of them to the vote of supplies, began to discuss the infringements which they conceived had been made upon their constitutional rights, and embodied the substance of their complaints in an address to the Emperor. The Emperor made to this address an angry, and rather threatening answer, especially recommending to them to proceed to grant the supplies which he required. It appears that this answer has been followed by a second resolution of the Diet, not granting the supplies, but expounding more fully the grounds upon which they had urged their first complaint. As Hungary was supposed to be one of the parts of the Austrian Empire most attached to the Sovereigns, their proceedings have given rise to many speculations in Germany. It can hardly be supposed that people so well hemmed in and protected as the Hungarians, be Metternichs, caller infected with the love of constitutions which Prince pernicious. Their grievances are, no doubt, of a practical kind," and the Diet is so aristocratical in its formation, that they probably affect chiefly the Nobles. The levy of troops seems to be one of the grievances. MORE PAPER. A Correspondent of the Times, says,—“ We are ali right again. The Government and the Bank of England have come to an understanding, and Consols are to be at 150, and the rate of interest is be established, and the hungry are to be filled with good things, and we are Master John Bull-it can never rain but it pours. But how are all these to have a merry Christmas and a bonfire. This is the true character of wonders to be brought about? By liberal issues of Bank paper. Fools, and blind! not to see that paper is still but paper, and that all the papers/ in the world will not add a bushel of corn, nor a cask of beer, nor a yard of cloth to our stock; and therefore we shall have no more to eat, and no more to drink, and no more to wear than we had before; and therefore, all other things remaining the same, the sole effect of an increased issue of Bank notes acting as money will be to disturb the existing relation between money and commodities, and by raising their prices to give the death-blow to our export trade, which has already suffered so severely. Fools and blind! not to see that a reduction in the rate of interest, praceeding from natural causes, is an infallible sign that the prosperity of a counts is to bring about this reduction by artificial means is downright dishonesty. But let them go their lengths: let the feast be set out by adding paper to paper; the very food with which they shall be regaled is poison, and will turn to their destruction. There is death in the pot!" The failure of the Bank of Messrs Wentworth, Chaloner, and Rushworth, (of Threadneedle street, announced on Thursday) will, it is feared, be attended with the ipost serious consequences in Yorkshire. They had establishments in York, Wakefield and Bradford, had a house in London, and had branches besides in Leeds, Huddersfield, Tadcaster, Weatherby, and five or six other places. It is believed that they issued notes to the amount of at least 400,0001. Mr Wentworth, one of the partners, has an estate of about 17,000 a year, but he is above 60 years of age, and we cannot ascertain whether the estate is free or entailed. Mr Chaloner is Member for York, and married the sister of Lord Dandas. Mr Rushworth, the other partner, bought a number of estates. It is feared the manufacturing population of the West Riding will suffer severely from the failure.-Chronicle. ASHBURTON BANK-Messrs BROWN, WINSOR, AND COMING-We regret to say that the above firm suspended their payments yesterday evening, after a tremendous run of several days.

POOR RATES. A "Supplemental Appendix to the Report from the Select Committee on Poor-rate Returns," has just been distributed; containing an "Account of the Money expended for the Maintenance and Relief of the Poor in every Parish, Township, or other place, in England The scarcity of Money in the City has never been so severely felt as to- and Wales, for the three Years ending 25th March, 1822, 1823, and 1824, day.

MESSRS O'CONNELL AND LBYNE-The Dublin papers have been much occupied with "an affair of honour" between Mr O'Connell and a Mr Leyne. The latter gentleman, offended by some remarks that fell from Mr O'Connell at the Catholic Association, demanded satisfaction;" which "satisfaction" Mr O'Connell declined to give him, as well be cause he was bound in recognizances to keep the peace, as that he had long ago, as was well known, resolved never to be again engaged in such affairsUpon this, Mr Leyne thought fit to apply to Mr O'Connell divers coarse epithets Mr O'Connell's son (Mr Maurice O'Connell) now sent word to Me Beyne, that though his father's hands were tied up, he was ready to give him the required satisfaction; but this Mr Leyde declined, saying that he had no quarrel with. Mr M. O'Connell. As he would neither meet Mr M. O'Connell, nor retract the epithets he had bestowed upon his father, Mr M. O'Connell provided himself with a horse whip, in order to chastise Mr Leyne publicly; but the latter kept out of 1822 1823 1824 £6,358,702 || Snyódes 5,772,958 999,991, 5,736,898 On looking into the Returns, a stranger sees one parish regularly increasing, and another regularly diminishing, without being able to account for this phenomenon. 19 •Fill Jert SPANISH EXILES. These unhappy strangers do not exceed families; of them a certain proportion receive from government a monthly allowance, which at best is sufficient to feed, but not to procure them assistance under disease, or clothing at the approach of winter. We have heard of one family, consisting of a gentleman (a distinguished officer) his wife, and three children. She washes for her husband and infants; wher there is food, she tries to cook it. She performs the most menial offices that usually fall to the lowest of the domestic tribe. Reared in affineact, but afficted whibits at 25 the aspect of a woman of 50.
