A discovery was made last Monday se'nnight (I9ih instant^ of a Roman brick and tile kiln, upon the estate of Benjamin Haigh Allen, Usq. situate at Slack, iu Longwood, in the parish of Huddersfield, 20 inches from the surface; it has roused the attention of thousands in that neigh- bourhood, who have journeyed to view the re- mains of this Roman antiquity the report* at the rirst were vnrioijq that a church had been found under ground, a castle, a town, a Roman city and bath had been discovered however, what is discovered will he highly interesting to the antiquary.

She was a cotemporary with Garrick, and, we believe, the onl,v one that remained, excepting Mr. Quick and Mrs. Mat- tocks, still alive. Her extreme heallty and the truth and nature of her acting attracted universal admiration, and caused her to rank the highest (a» a female J in her profession previous to the appearance of Mrs. Siddons. Mr. Mull had writ. ten his tragedy of Henry the Second, or Fair Rosamond, several years previous to its produc- tion and deipairetf of obtaiaiu? a proper repre- sentative for the character of Rosamond until the above lady appeared. Mason also, the celebrat- ed poet, wrote his tragedy of FJfrida, that she might personify the principal character. Elfrida has always been admired as a beautiful poem, but is not calculated for stage effect it was, never- theless, at that time supported, and even render- ed highly attractive, by the person and talents of (he late Mrs. Hartley. She was the very favourite subject of Sir Joshua Reynolds, and ap- pears as the beautiful female in a number of hj. most celebrated pictures. Two, in particular, are professed portraits of her 'Bailed Mrs. Hartley as Jane Short," nod Mrs. Hartley as a Bacchante." A fine study for the former wag recently sold at the late celebrated sale of the Mareiiionesq of Thomond's pictures at Christie's. She died in easy circumstances, her merits dur- ing her public services, having procured her a handsome independence. EXTRAORDINARY LAUNCH.—ON Thursday week was launched from tha building-vard of Mr. J. Haston,of Blienborough,near Marv- port, a fine new vessel, burlhea upwards of 36 tous, called the Lord Elleuborough, de. signed for the coal-trade. The building-jard is about a mile distant from the water'* edge, and tbe vessel had in consequence to )asl through six enclosed fields, and along about a mile of high road. The novelty of such a sight drew together a very largo con. course of people, and the vessel walked" (not the WATERS, at Lord Byron has it,) but the hifh road and green fields, like a thing of life," accompanied by a band of music, and the laughing faces of a joyous crowd and in the evening, reached Marypori bar. bour, where she plunged into lhat element to which the fates had destined her to pass theremainderofherday. A IOlld and ge- neral huzza from the assembled multi- tude, announced her autrance upon the waste of waters." HOUSE MOVEABLE.-In the arrangement* for improving the atreet of Maiden-lane in New York, lately it was found necessary to shift a house 21 feet backward. The house was of three stories, 45 feet wide, with a frout of 25 feet, was built of brick, and was roofed with slate, and was calculated to weigh 350 tons. By means of frames placed under, and worked by screws, the entire building, with its chiruiiies, windows, doorii, &c. was raised up two feet, and shifted into the required position without the smallest damage. So much at ease did the landlord feel, that i he was then carousing with a party of his friends in the house while it was performing its journey. The expense of moving the bouie was about ous filib of ill value.

TUESDAY the Session of Parliament was or'ed by Commission the oon- tinuar his Majesty's illness precluding the possibility of his personal attendance. The Speech from the Throne was of unusual length, and it has been drawn up with extraordinary ability and care.- Notwithstanding this, however, there was not much in the document to impart information or to arrest attention. In truth, all its leading topics of congratu- lation, and all its pledges of policy, had been anticipated by the public, and per- haps the only new fact communicated was the refusal of the British Govern- ment to engage in a joint negociation on the subject of South American affairs,and its perfect fruedom from engagements, of any kind, to prevent a recognition of the independence of the South American Republics. The Address was moved, in the House of Lords, by Lord Somers, and seconded by Lord Norton. The Noble Mover dis- cussed, seriatim, all the clauses of the Speech, and bore testimony with pecu- liar earnestness, to the marked improve- ment in the agricultural interest. Lord Norton, on the othør hand, con- fined his observations to that part of the Speech which adverted to Ireland the afflictions of that kingdom he ascribed to the number of proprietors who absented themselves, and to the ignorance and superstitious blindness of the Catholic peasantry. The Marquis of Lansdow-ne and Lord Holland acquiesced in the jus- tice of the flattering picture or tiif. pros- perity of the empire, presented, in the Royal communication, but animadverted with some severity upon the apathy with which they said Ministers had connived at the subjugation of Spain. Lord Liverpool defended the Govern- meut. In the House of Commons nearly the same order of debate was observed. Mr. Hill moved, and Mr. Daly second- ed the Address, the mover directing his observations to topics of general policy; the seconder bestowing particular atten- tion upon the affairs of Ireland. The same ground taken by Lords Lanidowne and Holland in the other House was as. sumed by Mr. Brougham, who was re- plied to at length by Mr. Canning.—No amendment was moved in either House. The IIOBSO of Lords did not sit on Wednesday. In the House of Commons, Mr. Hob- house took occasion to express his disap- probation of the Royal Speech, and his abhorrence of the policy observed by Mi- nisters with respect to Spain. He asked the Right Hon. Secretary for foreign affairs what hops could be entertained that the French Government would withdraw its troops from Spain ? and how, if it should not withdraw them, King Ferdinand could be regarded as a free and uncon- trolled agent to negociate, or to go to war with the South American Republics ?— He aho adverted with asperity to Sir Thomas Maitland's late proclamation. Mr. Canning replied that no friend of humanity could wish to sbe the trench troops withdrawn from Spain in the pre- sent state of that miserable country.—He explained that the government would not permit to France any interference with the South American States, direct or in. direct and proceeded to justify, at some length, the measures of Sir Thomas Mait- land. Colonel Palmer warmly condemned Mr. Canning's expression of a wish that the French troops should remain in Spain and delivered a very violent in- vective against the foreign policy pursued by Ministers. Mr. Hume repeated the charge against Sir Thomas Maiiland. Sir Thomas Lethbridge bore testimony to the rapid recovery of the agricultural interest, and expressed great satisfaction at the obvious proofs to be found in the state of the country, that that recovery was owing to causes which promised that it would be permanent. He warmly ap- plauded the conduct of Ministers. The House adjourned at six o'clock. The proceedings in the House of Lords Thursday night were altogether unin- teresting. The House of Comwons did not sit.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—APPR/VLS. INTIMATION was on Friday torwarded to the Scotch Law Ageuti, by order of the Lord Chancellor, stating that the House of Lords would begin on Monday morning, to which day the House stands adjourned, at ten o'clock to hesir Appeals, I-This is meeting an hour earlier than usual for Appeal heurings. The Lord Chancellor will hear the firs; I Appeals that stand on the list Cfhe ballot for the Peers who are to attend during I the remainder of the Session, takes place in tIiG afternoon.,) The first Appeals on j Monday's list are those whirh his Lord- ship has already heard at considerable length in the course of preceding Sessions of Parliament; namely, those known by length in the course of preceding Sessions of Parliament; namely, those known by the general name of the (f Queensberry Causes. There are six of them in nuro- Causes." There are six of them in nuro- her tha Duke of Ouccleugh v. Sir J. Montgomery et the Duke of Buccleugh O. j. fiyslop, Esq. the Earl of We- myss v. the Duke of Btiecleu-h," &c.- v [n further support of the extensive argu- ments already heard at their Lordships' bar, Mr. Jeffrey, Mr. Craustoun. and Mr. Moncrieff, the celebrated Scotch barristers, are specially retained to attend, and will appear on Monday. The value that is set upon their assistance, may be inferred from the fact that they are un- derstood to have one thousand guineas" marked on the bllck, of their briefs!— The-further hearing of the causes is ex- pected to occupy at lea«t five or six days but it is also calculated that the decision in one case will be received as giving judg- ment in tha remainder. 0 The Lord Chancellor will attend to the Queensberry Causes till they are all dis- posed of. His Lordship will then con- tinue more regularly, than in former Ses- sions of Parliament, his sittings in the Court of Chancery. The Appeals will, at the same time, proceed in the House of Lords; but they will be mainly before Lord Gifford, the new Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, and three Peers, accordiug to the Standing Or- ders" previously resolved on, and not. withstanding any absence of the Lord Chancellor.

The Portuguese Supplementary Con- vention State Papers just laid before the House, will, we have no doubt, give uni- versal satisfaction. The Convention of 1817 had provided, that ships should not be detained for Slave trading, unless they were found with Slaves actually on board; but the accounts from Sierra Leone, which we have frequently had oc- casion to publish, clearly prove that this stipulation had in a great measure frus- trated the principal object of the Con- vealion. Many vessels, notoriously em- ployed in the illegal traffic, evaded cap- ture by putting the Slaves momentarily ashore, and hovering on the coast till a fit opportunity occurred for their re-embark- ation. Strong remonstrances were made by our Ministers to the Portuguese Go. vernment against this fraudulent practice, but without avail, until the 15th of last March, when the articles above-mention- ed were at length agreed to by which it is settled, that if there shall be clear proof that a single slave has been put on board any vessel for the purpose of illegal m traffic, it shall be sufficient for the con- demnation of the vessel, if captured at any time during that voyage. Letters have been received from Gib- raltar, dated Jan 21, by which we learn that some very severe weather had been experienced there on the 17th inst. by which considerable damage had been sus- tained by the shipping. By letters from Rio, though not of later dute than the prior arrivals, we have some additional accounts of the late transactions there. The following is an extract from one of them The Cor- tes or Legislative Assembly were digest- ing and debating the new Constitution, consisting of 270 Articles, just prior to their dissolution. In the debates several of the Deputies belonging to the Liberal party had expressed their sentiments in most bold and independent language.— The liberty of the Press began to show itself by freedom of remarks in half a dozen papars issued daily. Some attacks had been made upon the Ministers, and hints and inuendos thrown out that irritated the Government. It was such conduct as this alarmed the Emperor, and caused the hall of meeting to be surrounded by troops, and the Laws of the Constitution to be violated." Bv accounts from Malta by the Me- diterranean packet, we learn that Sir T. Maitland left that island for Corfu on the 6th of Dec.

Trade- and Commerce are extending them- selves both at hooie and abroad. An increasing activity pervades almost every branch of manufacture. The growth of the Revenue i* sneh as not only to sustain public and prove the un- impaired productiveness of our resources, but (what is yet more gratifying to his Majesty's feelings) to wince a diffosiou of comfort among the great body of the people. 11 Agriculture is in< reusing from the depres- sion under which it fabc);ned, and by the srearfy operation of natural cau-os, is gradually re-as- suming the siatioo to wh'cii s importance eu. titles it among' the inieraett "f the nation. At no fartcer period t)is there prevailed throughout all ciasset of the community in this Island, a more cheerful-spirit of order, or a more just sense of the at!van a^es which, under ibe blessing of Provides* e, they etijoy. In Ireland, v hiih 1ms for siom? time past been tt,,e oi) cc; of :li-, citude, there arc many indications tlf atneadinpn<t and his Majesty relies upi>u your continued en- deavours to secure the welfare and happiness of that part of the kingdom. His Majesty commanded os further to inform you that he has every reason to believp, that the progress of our internal prosperity lIud improv- ment will nGt be disturbed by any interruption of tranquillity abroad. IIis Majasty continues to receive from the Powers his Allies and geperally from all Primes and States, assurances of their eit-liest desire to maiutaiu Bod cultivate the relations of friend- ship on his Majesty's part, as well to presetve general peace as to remove any rtuses of disa- greement, and to draw closer the bonds of amity between other Nations and Great Britain. The Negotiations which have been so lonc carried on through his Majesty's Am!>a9s*<ior at Constantinople for the arrabgernent of diSVrances between Russia and the Ottoman Porle, are his Majesty flatters himself, drawing near to a fa- vourable termination. A Convention has been concluded between his Majesty and the Emperor of Austria, forihe settlement of the pecuniary claims of thiscoHolry upon the Court of Vienna. 91 His Majesty has directed that a Copy of this Convention shall be laid before you, and he relies on your assistance for the execution of some of its provisions. Anxiously as his Majesty deprecated the commencement of the war in Spain, he is every day more satisfied that in the strict neutrality which he determined to observe in that contest (which,you so cordially approved), he best con- sulted the true interests of his people. With respect to the provinces of America, which have declared their separation from Spain his Majesty's conduct has been open and consis- tent, and his opinions have been at 1111 times fairly avowed to Spain and to other Powers. His Majesty has appointed Consuls to re- side at the principal ports and places of those provinces, for the protection of the trade of his subjects, '• As to any farther measures, his Majesty has reserved to himself, an nnfetured discretion to be exercised as the circumstances of those couutries, and the inlerests of his own people may appear to his Majesty to require. Gentlemen of the House of Commons, His Majesty has directed us to iuform you that tbe Estimates for the year are prepared, and shall be forthwith laid before you. The numerous points at which, under pre- seot circumstances, his Majesty's naval force is necessarily distributed, and the occasion which has arisen for strengthening his garrisons in the West Indies, have rendered unavoidable some augmentation of his Establishments, by sea and land. -6 His Majesty has, however, the gratification of believing that, notwithstanding the increase of expence, incident to these augmentations, it will still be in your power, after providing for the services of the year, to make arrangements in some parts of our system of taxation which may afford relief to certain important branches of the national industry. My Lords and Gentlemen, His Majesty has commaoded us to acquaint you, that he has not been inattentive to the de- sire expressed by the House of Commons in the fast Session of Parliament, that means should be devised for ameliorating the condition of tbe Negro Slaves in the West Indies. His Majesty has directed the necessary in- formation relative to this subject to be laid be- fore you. His Majesty is confident thatjou will afford your best attention and assistance to any propo- sition which may be submitted to-you, for pro- moting the moral itnprovment of the negroes, by an extended plan 01 religious mstiuciion, and by sacb oitii-r measures as may gradually conduce to to ihe saute end. Mat his Majesty earneirly recommends to yoil to Ireat tttewbote subject with the calmness and discretion which it demands. To excite exaggerated expectations in those who are the objects of your benevolence, would be as fatal to their welfare a* to that of their employers. And his .'Maj:?sty assures tlimself JOII will hear in mind tltat where the cot tection of a loo standing and complicated system, and ihe safely of large classes of his Majesty's subjects are in- volved, thai course of proceeding is alone likely toattaiu practical good, and lo avoid ag?rava. ion of ev it, io which regard sli.'HI lie jiairt to con. siderations of justice, iiiui in which cauiio shall temper zeal."
