THE IlarPonb FETE. We have seldom had to record an entertainment like this. The Nobk Mugs& was dettrtnined that his taste and munificence ebould not be called in question, and therefore he gave a ball and su pper en Friday last to the Ladies, in a style of more than Orien t' magnificence. The suite of live rooms—the proportions are prodigious —were more brilliantly illuminated than before, and their matchless furniture, in the style of Louis the Fourteenth, b r ing reflected by the inanity of mirrors, produced an effect quite t r agical. The visitants began to arrive at ten o'clock; a prome nide till a quarter past eleven. Dancing commenced half an hour after with a quadrille (a new one, played by sixteen French per formers), led off by the Ladies Clement and Cbarteris, Lords Chesterfield and Cholmotideley. The coup tali was heightened by a perspective view in the rear of the Music Gallery, of the Tapestry Saloon, a kind of fanciful s s wfuir, upon a large scale, the walls of which were hung with a scriptural subjects " Our &moue healing the sick," personified by g roups of figures, as large as life, admirably executed. Indeed, It is very probable that this may be , what it is said to be, the eke (awe of the early Gobelin School. The supper hour was two, but it was half-past when the banquet commenced in the dining-room, beneath the ball-room, now opened ler the first time. It was a magnificent spectacle to see the display of glittering plate, aided by a plateaux of singular grandeur, bearing the finest flowers, and the whole lighted up by branches of gold and frosted silver. The most delicious wines, French, Spanish, Italian, and Hungarian; fruits of this year's growth, from the south of France; in short, everything was provided in profusion. At four' , o'clock the dancing recommenced, and at six the mask ceased. Among the company present were— Tbe Dutch Ambassador and Lady, the Portuguese Minister and suite, the Neapolitan and Sardinian Ministers, the Princes Gen ettakoff and Lelnidgen, the_pihr el Ddnst.

He was highly pleased with the appearance and discipline of the Regiment in every respect, and their rapid and correct movements. He inspected their arts& and accoutrements very minutely after wards. There was a great assemblage of beauty and fashion on the ground. The Yeonianry gave a grand ball the evening before. Thursday the Dumbartonshire Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by Major Dinsurrotte of Colgrain, marched into Dumbarton, for permanent duty. The Troops have all turned out uncommonly well, and appose to be in a high state of equipment. The following is a copy of a Circular Letter sent by order of the Cosasannan-nr-Corer to the Commanding Officers of the Staff stationed in Coventry : " Horse Mardi, list July, 1824.

TORRENS, Adj.-Owe An English Protestant Chapel was opened on Sunday, at the Hotel MartoOut, Clumps Hiram, Paris. LAUNCH OP HIS MAJESTY'S SHIP •VENGRANCIL—• Tuesday last (the 27th ult.) was launched from the Pembroke Royal Dock-yard, his Majesty's ship Ven geance, of 84 guns, considered the best built and most beautiful vessel of her class in the British Navy. The Right Honourable Lady Cawnoa.performed the cere mony of christening, and about ten minutes after sir, .is. she glided majestically into oneof the finest havens in the world, amidst the roaring of cannon, and the shootings and acclamations of at feast 15,000 spectators, ;who were assembled in thelloyal Yard,on the surround ing hills, and in an immense number of vessels and boats, from a punt to steamers of 180 horse-power. Fran as. Cons.—An alarming fire broke out on Tuesday morning, in the stores of Mr. Martin, oil and colour vender, in Hoore's lane, off the north main street, Cork, which speedily communicated to the adjoining store of Mr. Newsom, in the sante line of business.— From the combustible nature of the materials on the premises, great alarm was for some time felt for the safety of the contiguous houses, including the bank of Mr. Pike; but by great exertions the conflagration was confined to the stores abovementioned, which, with all their contents were entirely consumed. The total loss is estimated at about 1,5001. Thursday, as two beasts were proceeding over Black heath, on their way to London, one of them, which bad soddenly become furious. attempted to leap over a rail Opposite the Green Man, to attack a Lady who was Walking with , her children inside the inclosure. The Lady, nearlTsinking with terror at her perilous situa tion, had clasped one of the children in her arms, and anticipated destruction, when momentarily /a 'bull dog, wbkh belonged to the drover, sprung forward, and seized the animal by the nose, dragged him from of the railing, and across the road to the ditch by the ft• n Man bowling-green before letting go his hold. This fortunate interposition enabled the Lady to escape. Avery distressing accidentoccurred at Stafford, onFri day last t the Chester Mail, on its journey upwards, bad nearly reached the end of Green Gate-street, when two children, of the name of Bill, brothers, of the ag e of three and five years, who were returning home from school, crossed the road directly under the heads of the leaders ; and although every possible effort was used on the part of the passengers and coachman, the former by calling loudly, and the latter by drawing up his horses, in attempting to do which the reins broke, the poor lads were thrown down, the wheels passed over beth of their bodies, and they survived the. accident but very few minutes. The plan of lending money on goods for charitable purposes, as is the case with the Mont de Pry, in Pa ris, has been tried in this country. In London, under the reign of Queen Anne, a Charitable Corporation was erected for the relief -of the indastrious•poor, for ena- Olin indigent Manufacturers *ad traders to take, up 'money at common and legal interest, there being a sum of 080,000 raised for that purpose. The money was lent to the industrious poor at five per cent. interest on pawns and pledges, to prevent their falling into the bands of pawnbrokers, and hence the Society derived its ap pellation; but they likewise took five per cent. Tor the charge of officers, warehouses, &c. In the sth year of Xing George 11. the chief Officers of this Corporatioo, by connivance of the principal Directors, absconded, and failed, and defrauded the public proprietors of great sums; and for the relief of the sufferers, as to part of their losses, several Statutes were enacted in the sth and 7th of George IL IRISH HA RP HA LI/P2NNIZS.—SAbbath forenoon se'n• eight, while one of the Elders was standing at the door of a.--mo , parish church, soperintending the plate, a stranger tune forward, whose demotion maned to be arrested half way betwahnthe pabee and the plate, jot at the very moment when** am shrewd Me preemie started to lead, Gayle psalmody. 44 Are 1111•111 1 11 1 11 61 . 0 said the mast, tie if ariesolgraitilkagai biessito mad at thO , dime time drawing bark his loalf.attooded arm.—" Harps I" replied -Os %dissent prop of the chostio'd these'.

LAW ittpoßr. VICE-CRANCELLOritCOURT, AUGUST PECK V. neIICRIT AND ANOTHRR. Mr. HART applied on the part of the defehdants in suit, for an order to direct a commission to ism for the examination of witnesses abroad, to ascertairwthe next of kin to the late Mr. Nollekens, the sculptor, and also for an order. to direct that the sum of 8001. should be paid out qr the fund in Court, to defray the ex penses of the said Commission. The defendants, Sir ' William Beechey an d anot her, were appointed executors under the will o f M r . N o ll e k ens , w ho died worth up wards of 200,0001. All of this property was appro priated by the will, except a fourth part, which was lapsed, and would go to the next of kin. In order to discover the next of kin, advertisements have been in serted in the papers of the Netherlands, and a claim, which appeared to be well founded, had been put in by a family of the name of Nollekens, residing near Ant. werp. The circumstances of the case had been repre sented to the Master, who thereupon granted a certifi cate of the propriety of issuing a commission, upon which the present application was founded. Mr. Sus appeared on the part of the plaintiff in the suit, who resided in England, and claimed to be the next of kin, to oppose the motion. It was impossible, according to the practice of the Court, that a single shilling of the fund of the Court could be granted to defray the expenses of the commission which was pr eyed for. The Lord Chancellor had over and over again decided, particularly in the case of "Farman and Fairly,* that parties claiming to be next of kin, and calling for a commission to examine evidence, should pay the expenses of the commission out of their own pockets. His Lordship, in those decisions, proceeded upon the principle that it would be unjust to allow a person to waste an estate in prosecuting a claim, which ultimately might appear to be quite unfounded. It was likewise, he apprehended, inconsistent with the practice of the Court, to issue a commission to examine witnesses abroad, under the circumstances stated, upon the application of executors. Indeed, if that were not the case, the most inconvenient effects might result; for one executor might sue for a commission to establish the claim of one set of next of kin in one quarter of the globe, and another executor might apply for one to establish the claim of another set in another quarter, until in the end every shilling of the estate might be expended. Mr. HART, in his reply, said, that this application was made by the executors, not with the view of favouring the claims of any particular persons, but in order that justice might be done to all parties. Mr. Sngden, he thought, was wrong in what he had stated regarding the practice of the Court, for he (Mr. Hart) remembered, that in the cases of General Paoli and General Bertine, (the latter died in the East Indies, and left property to a vast amount, to be distributed in the neighbourhood of Lisle), commissions were issued for examining wit nesses abroad, and the Court granted money out of the funds in Court to defray the expense of them. His Hormuz said that he was of opinion that the parties claiming to be next of kin must - in all cases sue out a commission for taking evidence abroad at their own expense. He thought that if a commission were issued, some putht to be appointed to attend it, and none could be pp proper as . the executors; in that case, the Court would, perhaps, indemnify the executors. Mr. Haar said he would abandon that part of the motion which prayed for money, and confine himself to that which prayed for the issuing of the commission. His Hosoua said, that his impreition was, that a commission could not be issued at the instance of an executor. He would therefore dismiss the application, but if he could find any precedent for issuing a com mission at the prayer of an executor, he would revoke his present decision. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, AUGUST s. Richard Chadwick was opposed by Mr. Pouoca, for a creditor named Bennet. It appeared that the insol vent, who carried on the timber trade at Portsea, failed some time back, whee he compounded with his creditors for 2s. 6d. in the pound. He subsequently got intro duced to Mr. Bennet, a timber-merchant at Rother hithe, and commenced dealing with bias. For the first three orders be paid ready money, but he then obtained goods on credit until his debt to Mr. Bennet amounted to 7001. Mr. Bennet stated that he knew nothing of the insolvent's failure until after be had given him credit, and that when he supplied him with the last order, which was for 4 601. worth of timber, he did so tpon his express promise to remit, him 2001. the next day, which he never did. On his cross-examination, however, Mr. Bennet somewhat varied his statement about the insolvent's failure, saying that he had merely beard on 'Change be had been in difficulties. The insolvent denied that he had obtained the goods upon a promise to pay Mr. Bennet 9001. next day ; but after the order was completed, he promised, at Mr. Rennet's request, to send him 1001. or 2001. as he had done before, if he could, although there was no bill due. A witness was theis called by the inselvenes Counsel, who stated that he was clerk to his father, for whom he acted as timber-broker, and he informed Mr. Ben net of all the particulars of the insolvent's failure and composition before he commenced dealing with him ; and upon receiving this information his reply was, 4•Well, since he is clear of all the world, there cannot be much danger now of him, so Ilill risk it." The COURT said it would be very unsafe to remand this ingolvent upon the testimony of Mr. Bennet: they woulck therefore, order him to h discharged, as soon as a defective service was completed. Such has been the state of business at the Custom [House, from the extraordinary increase of pur imports and exports within the lut few weeks, that the Clerks and Officers have been found unequal to the additional duties imposed on them. Fazastasonay.—Friday se'nnight, the brethren of the Airdrie Olive, and Greenhouse Lodges of Free Gardeners held their annual procession, in a style ex eellkag anything of a similar kind that has appeared in the West of Scotland. The figures displayed on the occasion were twelve in number, accompanied by six bands of music,.allexcellent in their way, and deputa tions from different Lodges attended to lend their aid in making the display what it really was, most pleasing and beautiful in the highest degree. The surrounding country poured forth its youthrul population to witness the interesting scene, and every one appeared to be more gratified than another. Having finished the bu siness, the whole of the brethren repaired to their re spective Lodges, and concluded the evening with a ball. In the course of the day, the Brethren of the Airdrie Olivo.Lodge preiented their late Grand Master, Mr. MINIM" Harrow, dray/Ist, Airdrie,- -with an elegant silver enuff-bos, suitably interibed, as a - token of their esteem for his attention to their interests itisgepresiding over their infant body.

He reached that place a few minutes. before twelve o'clock, apparently little fatigued. DOGGETTS COAT AND BADGE.

Above Vauxhall, George Fogo took the lead, and reached the Swan, leaving all the • others a considerable distance behind. He was accordingly hailed winner of the prize. and received the Coat and Badge. This is the second honour gained by his family. His grandfather, an honest and expert Waterman, also Oen the Coat and Badge. The second boat was entitled, by the terms of the legacy, to 121. 6d.
