Yesterday afternoon the QUEEN and Family took their usual excursions in Irogmore Gardens. The Princess SOPHIA is a little better, but not able to ride on horseback. Her Royal Highness yesterday took an airing in one of her MA narY's open carriages with the Princess EttzAsern. The QUEEN and Princesses visited Frozmore Lodge and Gardens this morning. ?ably supported in her favourite Vlooar in Sir Peter Tomsk, Frederici in Of age to-enor mu, Jokes, kc. He is a comic actor of very superior talent. Papers from the United States have reached Eng land, but not of a later date than others which had been antecedently received. They confirm the reports of the suspension of Mr. FOSTER'S diplomatic labours. An article in the National Intelligenetr, which is con sidered as the Government paper, says, " The British Orders in Council alone exclude us from an extensive and lucrative trade with France." True, Sir, we reply ; and the British Orders in Council exclude Boulogne from an extensive and lucrative trade with Bourdeaux. But it is not admitted, by any prin ciple of the law of nations that either you or we ever heard of, that neutrals should have the same power of trading during war with one of the Bellige rents, that their home-ports have with each other during peace. America might certainly carry on , a direct lucrative trade with France, avoiding England, in conformity with BONAPARTE'S orders, as she would a pestilential island, and submitting to be searched whether she has touched here or not ; but we must venture to inform her, that this is not the conduct of a neutral, but of an hostile power. A Plena colony, if BONAPARTE had any, in the West Indies could do Po more. • But as we should not suffer a French colony, if one existed, to do this, neither shall we suffer America. Oh I yes, she could carry on a finr trade • ' France, if she could but haul:II Englap world olsialping the patient, with a view to ascertain ther the fall, to which the illness was attributed, might not have produced a depression of the brain. Accordingly, at the time appointed, the incisions were made, the scalp drawn up, and the head exa mined, during all which time the young man mani fested no audible symptom of pain, or sensihility of suffering whatever, until the application of an instru ment, with which the head was scraped in a particu lar part, and then, and once only, he uttered a groan. No beneficial result appearing from this experiment, and as his case seemed absolutely remediless,_ appli-• cation was made to his regiment for his discharge.— On Tuesday the 20th the discharge arrived. In the course of a very few days afterwards he recovered, and on Friday the 90th he was at Mr. Palmer's, a farmer atThurlbear, two miles from Bickenhall, cut ting spars, carrying reed up a ladder, and assisting his father in thatching a rick. On the next day. the, 31st, he was in the barton of Mr. Cozens, of Bicken hall, with a dick in his hand, killing mice ; and on Sunday the Ist inst. Mr. Cozens met him in a neigh• bowing copse, gathering nuts.

Nor can it be said that I am factious or dissatisfied, because I considered myself overlooked. No—my situation in the Church gives the lie to any such imputation as that. I therefore declare to you, that I trust you will persevere in your determination to petition, until you shall have obtained what every subject of this realm has a right to enjoy—A, complete exemption from temporal pains, on account of religious opinions." Mr. Austeu's liberality and patriotism made an impression on the Meeting that was evinced by every possible demonstration of approbation, and he sat down midst reiterated shouts of appla use. On the 26th ult. the following melancholy accident took place at Middleton. Mr. T. Kidd, butcher, and his wife, of Middleton, had not long , passed the bridge over the Tees at that place, before the breast work fell. This caused them to return to the spot,' and while below the arch, viewing a large crack there in, the whole came down, and buried them in the ruins. Several persons set to work w remove the stones, Ike. from the bodies, which, when extricateep 'resented a shocking sight. - a . Aura with eut of the IN • Of 4 .`c * • . -• • • • - ROUIRY AT BecaxliteitAlli-nOUSZ..-1744nesitay it Was discovered Ky a female servant to her Majesty. that the presses in Buckingham-house which contain. ed her Majesty's Court and other valuable dresset, had been opened, and the contents, amounting to .€9OOO in value, had been stolen therefrom. It was usual for tl:t domestic who had the care of the pres• es to inspect them once a-year, but from the Sovereigi.'s illness they had not been wanted, and consequeeily were not opened .until last Wednesday, when it e2S found the dresses were . gone, but the paprrs which contained them were left, and a baize which covers the whole carefully placed over the papers. Suspicion bad not attached itself to any one till Thursday afternoon, when the husband of the female who was intrusted with the care of the presses, heard a gentle tap at the door, and on opening it a man, who had famerly been employed to keep the locks, &e. about Buckingham-house in repair, presented himself with - a key half hidden by the palm of his hand, who said he was looking for a bell-hanger. The man was • challenged n with having a key in his hand, which he denied, and afterwards pulled one out of his pocket, which the witness believed to be much larger in size than the one he had is his hand. He was then se cured, and taken to Marlborough-street Office. It • appeared, that there was no injury done to the locks; and, according to the testimony of Sir William Par son's, who had viewed the spot, no one could have committed the robbery without being well acquain ted with the premises ; and according to the state ment of Mr. Hanson, Locksmith to the Royal Fa mily, the locks could have been opened only by a duplicate key cr a skeleton, and a duplicate key could not have been made without taking nil' ,the Mr. Hanson also stated, that the prisoner had been about eight months in his employ, and he discharged him as an indolent drunken man, some time since. When in Mr. Hanson's employ, he was constantly engaged his whole • time in Buckinghani-house, but since he had been discharged he had no pretence lot going there. According tn the statement of Sir William Parsons, half a doien men could not have carried away the stolen property and on a future examination other evidence more strong is expected to be brought against the prisoner and others. He was accordingly remanded, and a warrant issued to search his premises; a warrant was also issued against another man soispected, who Laa been discharged from Mr. Hanson's service about the same tinfe as the prisoner, and who had been seen about the house. Bow STREET.—LITTLE Goss. To such an extent has this system of private Lotteries arrived, that no less than three Little Goes were suppressed in the course of yesterday by Lavender and Vickery : one in Bird-street, Manchester-square ; one in Carna ', by-market • and one in Gray-street, Manchester . square. The Agents apprehended were, George Charles, William Dingier, and John Pitcher. In ad dition to the evidence of the officers, several witnesses were produced who had insured numbers for blank: or prize, and the thousand for the fist end last dtawn for small sums. They were all convicted as rogues and vagabonds till the ensuing Sessions. MANSION-House.--Wilfidme ,:'ones, who has been twice remanded on a charge of having stolen a bill of exchange for £l5OO, in the house of Sir Francis Baring and Co: was yesterday taken before the Lord Mayor, for final examination. Upon this occasion, however, the complainants, in consequence of a communication they had with the prisoner, and in consideration of his former good con 'duct, signified their intention of foregoing a prosecu tion, en condition of his entering into the East India .service as a soldier. To this proposal the prisoner readily agreed, and be was ordered to be conducted to the proper officer for entrance. HATTON-Gaance.---Yesterday Thomas illexasufn was brought before the Sitting Magistrate, charger with stealing from Mrs. Levi a pair of breeches. The prosecutrix was a vender of second hard clothes, in Bell-court, Holborn ; and on Toe,d..v last, as the prisoner passed her warehouse he taneie , l a pair of grey kerseymere breeches, " ash good as de sew," which were displayed at the door, and dexterous ly contrived to remove them without beng observed by the prosecutrix. A neighbour's child ( them eight years old), however, perceived him, and running home, as he passed, cried out " Oh mother, mother, there's the man that stole Mrs. Levi's breeches."*The hue and cry was immediately raised, the prisoner pursued and taken, when the breeches were found concealed under his apron. The parties were bound over to prosecute, and the prisoner fully committed . for trial at the next Old Bailey Sessions. .7 I I' THs Comer.—The elevated streets of the metropo. Es were last night crowded with spectators, who viewed with admiration this mysterious and sublime object. At present it is apparently moving in a right 'line, which if continued, would pass eight degrees north of Charles's Heart, and two degrees south of the Star in the top of the tail of Ursa Major; and if the observer is not mistaken, the Comet will pass the first of these stars about the beginning of October rest, and so continue advancing to its aphelion, or farthest distance from the sun, gradually diminishing its apparent size and splendour till it is lost to the eye, which it will likely be before it recedes beyond the distance of the or bit of the Planet Jupiter. On Monday, about eight o'clock in the evening, a dreadful affray occurred at the Plough. Thatcharn. A party of volunteers from the Irish Militia, on their way to join the 87th regiment, at Portsmouth, soar relied amongst themselves, and afterwards with the persons who were in the hawse, of which they soon took full possession, fuming the guests out. 'I he in.. habitants soon assembled, armed with guns, and broke open the doors, desiring the soldiers to surrender, which they refused to do, with threats, and atter/tits I to wound those who approached them; on whiLb they I were informed, that unless they immediately submit ted, they would be fired on ; they replii d " shoot and be damn: d," on which a gun was discharged, which killed (se of the Irishmen on the spot, tht cont nts lodging in his heart. A coronet's inquest was held on the body, who returned a verdict of 4 , JustiGabli Homicide." The soldiers are now at Nye bury. and the matter will be brought beige the Magistrates 'of Oat place in a few days. ,- • • • r I
