THE SHERIFFS OF LONDON. Friday afternoon Mr. Sheriff BELL, Mr. Sheriff THORPE, and the City Reurembrancer, arrived at the Castle Tavern. Immediately after partaking re. ftesllments the S' , eriffs proceeded to the Pavilion, when the PRINCE REGENT invited them to dilater, and to her MAJEJTY'S co , ,cert party. In the evening the Shetiffs were introduced to her MAJESTY and the Royal Family, when they were most graciously re• ceived, and had the honour to kiss her MAJESTY'S hand. The Princess CHARLOTTE likewise paid most marked attention to them. Saturday mottling the Sheriffs went in one of the PIiINCE REGENT'S carriages to the Pavilion, at one o'clock, in full dress, wearing the insignia of office. In consequence of his Royal Highness being unfor tunately confined by the gout, the Sheriffs had not the honour of an interview, but the PRINCE most gra ciously sent a message expressive of his regret, and that as his Royal Highness expected to be in London in a few days, the Sheriffs then shook' be immediately acquainted with the Purace REGENT': pleasure in re gard to receiving the address of the Common Council. Sir B. BLOOMFIELD communicated to the Sheriffs, that the PRINCE REGENT wished them to view the Pavilion, which invitation they accepted, and Sir BENJAMIN conducted them through the different apartments. The Sheriffs were highly pleased with this mark of Royal favour. Her MAJESTY arrived at Horsham, on her way from Brighton to Windsor, soon alter eleven o'clock on Sawa day fureno.,n, where there were a great con course of people assembled on the occasion. They pro ceeded from Horsham for Dorking, and were meton the road by a detachment of the Surrey Yeomanry, by command of their Colonel, the Earl of ROTHE.% They ' contincted the Royal Party to the house of the Earl ef ROTIIES, which is a short distance pre vious to the entrance into Dorking. Opposite to the NAle E.irt's house was another detachment of the Sorrey Yeomanry drawn out, who received her tla.msyy and the PRINCESSES with Military ho now s, the full Band playing eg God save the King." litr MasesTY having promised his Lordship the lio nour of a visit on her return from Brighton, every necessary preparation was made for her reception, and no expanse spared. A temporary canopy was pump from the walk to the entrance of the house of the I*.bie Earl, and the road covered with red cloth for the Royll party to walk *a. The Noble Earl and family, with their sevants in full dress received the Ri.yal party. A sumptuous entertainment was pre pared, which was served up in a very elegant style. —The band of the Surrey Yeomanry and another band attended, and played Alternately during their stay, which was about an hour and a half. Every hawse in Dorking appeared to be forsaken upon the occasion to view the Queen and branches of the Royal Family. They then proceeded on for the George Inn, at• Cobham, where changes of horses were in readiness to convey them to Windsor. They arrived at Wirdsor at four o'clock. Her Royal, Highness the Princess CHARLt.ITR.of WALES stepped into her own CATliage, which was in waiting for her, and took her Royal Highness to Cranbourti Lodge to dinner. Alt lough a house was taken, and every arrange ment made tor the Delte of YORK going .0 Bath ibis seas-in, his Royal Highness has declined going, owing to his being so excessively engaged in Wines.. KING'S THEATRE. ' Grimlila was repeated on Saturday night to an an• ~ dience unusually numerous for this early period' of the season. The Opera was followed by the Trou badours, the finest Ballet en the stage. It was re deived with great admiration. Madame MAINVILLE Fonon was in excellent voice, and displayed her fine powers to the greatest advantage. Her Duo with Madame LEDONI was oniversally encored; and in the air of " Griselda Loraggio," in which she was ac companied on the violin obligee b/ Mr. SPAGNOLETTI, she was rapturously applauded. Among the com pany present we witnessed— _ The Austrian, Russian, and Spanish Ambassadors; the Du chess of Roxburgh; Marchionesses of Lansdowne and Down• shire; Countesses of Portsmouth, Linen, and Antrim; Baron Tries; Lords Yarmouth, Somerville, Aylesbury, Mountjoy, and Lyinfoch ; 1 attics P. Wilson, Earle, Sheffield, Ashburton, Keith, (Inmn rs, C. Campbell, Warrender, and Asgill ; Admiral Nn• gent; G. Talbot and H. Wilson; Messrs. W. Pole and Biala ; Nlistresses W. Pole, liagot, 0. Hunter, and Davison. The Comedy of The Busy Body attracted a crowded audience at Drury-lane Theatre : Mrs. MARDYN was highly diverting in. the character of Miranda. Mr. CONWAY acted the part of Mr. Beverley, in the Tragedy of the Gamerter, on Saturday evening, Mr. You NO being still confined from the effects of his late accident. Dramatic spectacle has increased to such a height, that it is believed the Globe Theatre, in which SHAKESPEARE'S Midsummer Night': Dream was origi nally acted, did not cost so much is the building as the scenery and dresses in the present magnificent re vival of this beautiful fairy drama at Covent-garden. It hus been arranged by the Conductors of the Oratorios at the two Theatres, that there is to be but one Oratorio on each night, to be alternately at each Theatre, Wednesday nights at Drury-lane, and Fri day nights at Covent-garden. Mrs. ALSOP has played at Bath and Bristol with great success to crowded houses, and her perfor mances have been honoured with the most enthusias tic approbation—she has never sung without being loudly encored. Mr. INC:LEWIN has reached Portsmouth, on his professional tour. He played Hawthorn, in Love in a Pillage, at that Theatre, on Friday night. From Portsmouth he proceeds to.Chichester. MASSINGER'S Comedy of a New Way to Pay Old Debt:, has been lately revived, and from the merit of KEAN's acting, seems likely to have' a considerable run : we, however, could point out a much more ex peditious way of paying debts, bath old and new ; we mean, by.the purchase of a Ticket or Share in the present Lottery, which, from the number and magni tude of its Capitals, holds out to Adventurers in ge neral not only the prospect of paying flair debts, but of rendering themselves independent for life : no time, however, is to be lost—it begins on Valentin Day, and as the Prizes are All Floating, the Day after may be one day too late ! SINGULAR OCCURRENC Friday evening, Sarah Harman, wife of a weaver in Spitallields, was drive* by distress to the resolution of exposing her femal•: infant, three months old. Having first wrapped it in clothing as warm as she could procure, and lulled it to sleep, she deposited it at the door of Mr. Hib hem a gentleman well known for his humanity in that neighbourhood. The infant bad not continued long, when et poor man passing, observed and eagerly took it up, supposing he had got a prize ; the rough manner in which he handled it, however, disturbtd the infant, whose cries soon informed him what sort of prize he had gotten. In this dilemma he knocked at the door and informed the master, and received directions to take the infant to the workhouse. It was first determined to examine if nothing was con tained in it which might lead to the detection of the parents ; but scarcely Was the covering removed, and the habiliments of the infant exposed, when the poor man uttered an exclamation ei sat prise, and ac knowledged it his own child, and was at no loss to imagine that the distress of his wife had induced her to adopt this mode of providing for it. Upon this representation he was allowed to take the infant home, having received temporary teliet, and a cau tion to take ca: his wife did tot repeat this conduct, which might be attended with consequences more so rious than she was aware of. Friday evening, a man dressed like a sailor, appa rently about 2.5 years of age, and who says his name is William Johnson, was brought to the London Hospita by tw' foreign sailors, in a most deplorable state, having been shot with small shot or small sings, 12 of which had entered his side and breast. He ap peared in a very feeble state from the loss of blood, but after the surgeons eranained his wounds and he was put to bed, he somewhat recovered, and gave the following account of himself : that about six weeks ago he was discharged from on board a man of war at Portsmouth, when he immediately came to London, and remained at Blackwall since, until last Thursday night he set off far the City; but when he. came as far as Poplar Fields, on the Commercial road, he met a party of robbers, one of whom turned round and fired at him ; ht instantly fell, and thought he was mortally wounded. He formed the resolu tion to follow them, in order (to use his own phrase) to give them a slap in the chops before he expired. He accordingly did follow them across the fields, until he dropped from the loss of blood, and was un able to leave the spot after, until the next Morning, an old man who happened to pass that way, found him in that situation. He obtained assistance, who removed him to a house at Poplar, where he was put into a cellar until the evening, when the above per sons procured a coach, and had him removed to the Hospital. The part of his story relating to the man ner he was shot, is totally discredited ; but to the con trary, it is surmised that he and the men who biought him had attempted to commit a robbery, when they were fired upon, and his companions succeeded in carrying him away. if this is the case, it is very likely that a few days more will elucidate the mystery. Last week the following shocking and fatal acci dent happened at Marden to a servant boy in the em ;Joy of Mr. Tribe, surgeon, of that place. The boy was standing on a small hay-stack, and the instru ment which had jest been used to cut some hay from the stack was lying on the ground by the side of it, with the edge upwards, when he slipped, and fell witit his throat directly across the blade: the wound received was to severe, that, notwithstanding the must prompt assistance vias afforded, he died in a few hours after the accident.

Cribb, the boxer, who, whenCribb chanced to pass him, called after him in the street— " Coals, coals, do you want any coals ?" in allusion to Cribb's former employment. Cribb stated the de fendant's object was to provoke him to strike the de. fendant, with a view of his making a property of Cribb. But the cool temper of Cribb was not to be roused by such means, and he chose this method as a preventive.

Saturday Thomas Elmore, a boy about 14 years of age, was brought up in custody of William Craig, the officer, charged with feloniously stealing a su perb geld necklace and locket, belonging to the Lady of General Keith M'Allister, of N.,. Wimpole street. It appeared that the prisoner had lived in the family as footboy between four and five months, and the Lady having missed her necklace and locket, enquired of the servants in the house if they had seen any thing of them ? and they declared they knew nothing of them, among whom was the prisco ner. The Lady being extremely anxious to get back the necklace, it being the gift of a relation when abroad, determined, if possible, to find out the thief, and accordingly sent for Craig, whoproceeded to make a strict enquiry among the servants, and on charging the boy with the theft, he at first strenuously denied any knowledge of it, but on being taxed a second time by the officer, he confessed that he had stolen it and given it to his mother, who, he said, had re quested him to steal that, or any thing else, the fitet opportunity ; he was then asked bow long after wards it was before be gave it to her ? be said three or four days, for she had desired him not to give it her for some days after, lest she might be suspected. The mother, who is a very creditable looking wo man, was immediately taken into custody by Craig, and informed of *hat her son had said, which very much affected her, at the same time she most so lemnly protested that all the boy had said was false ; when she was brought before the Magistrate the little urchin still persisted in the presence of his mother, that what lie had told the officer was true ; the poor woman wept bitterly, and begged of him to tell the evush, and not to be the cause of sending her to a gaol on so false and wicked a charge, as did his fa ther and many other persons present ; but nothing his mother or father could do or say could induce him to alter his story, and the poor woman, almost broken hearted, was ordered to be committed to the House of Correction for further examination, to which place she was immediately sent. The boy was ordered to be committed also, which made not the least impression on him, till the goaler was about to put irons on him, when lie begged for mercy, and said if they would not put them on, he would tell the whole truth ; for all that he had said to implicate his mother was false, and she knew nothing about it ; that the necklace and locket were concealed, in the drawer of a looking glass in one of the ladies' rooms. Craig went and searched the drawer he had de scribed, but to no effect, and on turning up the car-' pet in the room there discovered it. As soon as it was made known to the Magistrate that the little villain had contradicted what he had before stated respecting his mother, and that the necklace and locket were found, no time was lost in dispatching a person off with an order to the Governer of the House of Correction to discharge the unfortunate woman. Committed for further examination.
