SOUTHAMPTON, JANUARY 7. The Subscription Balls this season ate kept up with greater spirit titan has for a long time been the case. This ;nay be principally attributed to the style in which they are got op, and the high fashionable character of the Ladies Patronesses—the Marchioness of CLANRI - Lady VIVIAN, the Honourable Mrs. Evan, Mrs. FLENIINO. and Mrs. SHEDDIN. The Second Subscrip non Ball took place this evening, at the Long Rooms. —.At; the. Ball, in coasegnence of complaints of the exclusiveness of the first, to which subscribers only were admitted, t hiLadies Patronesses consented that a limited number of non-subscriberetickets should be admitted, roaccommodaie those who are not resident in the town or neighbour hood. The rooms Were very much crowded, and the Ball began precisely at half past nine o'clock. CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL --... The following Legend was copied by the late Mr. Jagger, from a fly-leaf of an old book, pteierved in Canterbury Cathedral: —,. In ancienne tymes, in a goodly t Avne near to Canterbaty, sojourned a Lidie fair. She one night, in ye'absenct of her I.ord,leaned her lovely arm u,:on a Gentlemaa who walked in ye fyldes. When journeying fir, she became afraide, and begged to reiurne. The Gentleman with kyndest say ings, and great courtesy, retraced their steps, when in the .ame women!, th;s straynge occurrence came to pass— Ye rayne descended thro the moon, and millions of stars were shining bright. In journeying home, an other straynge occurrence came to pass—Her coral bpi the Gentleman did meet in sweetest kiss. This was not straynge at all. But the Moon that still shone brygbie, did in this moment hyde herself behind a clonde. Thir was straynge, most passing straynge, indeede. The Lady fair, who prayed to the Blessed Virgin, did to her Confessor this confession make; and her Confessor ; with.charyte an imprompter wrote---* Whence , came the Rayne, when first with guilekss heart, Further to walk she's loth, and yet more loth to part; It was not Rayne, but Angel's pearly teats, In pity drape to sooth Eliza's tears. Whence came the cleude that yelled the orbe of nighte, When first her lips she yielded to delyghte; It was nutcloside, but whylste the world was herb, Mercy put forth her band to bide Eliza's blush. THEATRES. • DRURV-DANE. • The Opera of The Cabinet was revived here last night, for the purpose of introducing Madame FRARON as Florema. Her comic duet e ith Whintsiculo was done with ger at point and spirit ; and in "The Bird in yon der cage," she combined her excellent acting with her vocal powers, so as to make the whcle very effective. All these songs were encored. Mr. BRAHAM gave the two first sf-ngs f Orlando as if labouring under some difficulties or cold or indisposition; but he afterwards recovered himself and sang ss Fair Ellen," with a de lightful pathos, which was finely contrasted by his sub sequent performance of the Palace°, which be executed with all the fire and brilliance of tone and style peculiar t.) himself.—Mr. Baowns played the Marquis de brand Chateau with more than ordinary care, and with cones pondent success. DOWTON'S Peter is distinguished by that easy richness for which this performer is remarkable. HARLIT'S exertions in Whintsiculo, like every other part setristiega display al flippancy and strong animal spirits, was PlaYett sith *degree of vivacity and polite imperti nence such at so other actor can command. The cha racter of Co:utast/tin fell to the lot of Mrs. Geestn, who introduced " 0 ley not woman's love is bought," and sung it (as she sung and acted the rest of the part) with cold correctness. COVENT-DARDEN. The performances at this Theatre last night, which consisted of Der Freischuta; Taws 1, and the Pantomime, Isere advertised as by " Special Desire," and it was ex pected th4t the Duchess of KENT and the young Princess, would honour the Theatre with their presence. To the disappointment of many, however, the anticipation was not tealised, for his MAJRSTY''S box, which was appro. pi rated to the use of the expected Royal Visitors, re mained unoccupied to the last. In the Opera, the popularity of which seems to be as endusing as that of II Don Giovanni. Mr. C. BLAND, in the temporary absence of Mr. SArto, undertook the character of Wilhelm for the first time. He played and sung with great care. In other aspects the Opera was cast as on former okxcasions. Miss CAWSR, as Berate,. occasionally displayed a brilliancy and power in tone, which, with continued attention, may ultimately raise her to the summit of her profession. Miss GOWARD Unfortunately was much indisposed, but she experienced that indulgence andsncouragement from the audience to which her diligence and talent so fully intitle her. 'Twos I went off tematkably well, and Mintber Nip increases in attraction. Indeed the whole entertain ments were extremely favourably received by a mune loos audience. Lord Chief Justice BEST. we are happy to hear, is so far recovered that he is expected to resume his seat I .ii the Coaimnp Pleas at the commencement of the adjourned Sessions. The Gazelle of Last night announces the appointment of Mr. Gobbat, hitherto our Minister at the Court of Brazil, to the same office at that of Madrid.

Dancing was kept up with great spirit till two o'clock, when nearly 150 sat down to supper, after which dancing was resumed, and kept up till five o'clock, when the Prince and his attend ants retired, and the party bloke up. At half-past ten o'clock yesterday morning, a De. putation from the Society of Friends of Foreigners in Distress, waited on his Royal Highness in Arlington. street.

Sir John Bridges, Sir John Campbell, Admiral Reeler, Messrs. De Carvelho, Sarupajo, Pinto, Rebella, Five and Fiost, together with Charles Murray. Esq Secretary to the Society, had the honour-to be intro duced to the Prince by the Portuguese Ambassador, when the Secretary presented to his Royal Highness the book containing the account of the Society, when his Royal Highness was pleased to enrolhis name among the several illustrious Monarchs and Princes who have condescended to patronise this benevolent institution, and to subscribe fifty pounds to its funds. H s Royal . Highness left Arlington-street shortly after twelve o'clock, accompanied by the Earl of Mount charles and the Marquis de Palmella, who rode with the Prince in the first carriage. The second carriage, both of which belonged to his Majesty, and were driven by the King's servants in the Royal livery, contained his Royal Highness's suite. l hey were preceded by two out-riders in the Royal livery, to clear the way. They proceeded along Westminster Bridge through the Borough, by old London Bridge, into the City. The Royal Party stopped for some time at the Siitith wark side of the Bridge, and the progress of the new London Bridge was pointed out; to the young Prioce by the Earl of Mountcharles. They then proceeded to the Bank of . England, where his Highness was met by the Governor and several of the Directors, who accompanied him to the Bullion Office, and the different depai tments of the Bank. A splendid deleune was prepared on the occasion, of which the Prince and his attendants slightly partook, and then .!eparted. The Post Office was the next place whiCh was visited by the party. Here the Deke of Manchester and Mr. Heeling met the Prince at the entrance in Lombard street, and preceded him to the General Sorting Room, where the Post Office system was explained to the Prince by Mr. Freeling. His Royal Highness and suite proceeded thence through Cornbill to. the India House, followed by a very large concourse of spectators. He remained but a shoit while at the India House, and then proceeded to the Mint. The Right Hon. George Tierney, the Master, teceived the party, and accompanied them into the office of this National Depot. In the room where the sovereigns are worked off, the whole process of cc ining was exhibited in that elegant manner for which our workmen are dis tinguished. Here his Royal Highness and party were detained upwards of an hoar, during which he fre quently exhibited his delight and astonishment at the. rapidity of the workmanship, and the ease' with -which the coiner s and other artificers performed . their allotted, portions of the work assigned them. From the Mint to the Tower the Royal cortege were surrounded by. a numerous crowd, which, like the, ac cumulation of et snow ball, had been, from the time the Prince arrived iu the City, gradually and continually increasing. _ .M the Tower, the Duke of Wellington, the Con s table, met the Royal Party with bat in hand, and accompanied the yuung Prince throughout the entire of this great and ancient edifice. A Royal salute of 21 guns was fired off on the occasion; and here, as at the Bank, a splendid collation was prepared, of which the Prince barely tasted, end .took his departure, re turning with much simplicity, and, in a kind manner, his thanks for the reception which throughout Isis visit be had experienced. After leaving the Tower, the party proceeded to the Tunnel, where they were received by Mr. Brunel, se .. Mr. Brunel, junior, Mr. Garrett, Mr. Beamish, and the other Officers of the Establishment, together with the Chairman, the Deputy Chairman, and nearly the whole of the Board of Directors. Previously to his Royal Highness descending the shaft, he was particularly anxious to make himself acquainted with the general principles of the undertaking, which were clearly ex plained to him by William Smith, Esq. M.P. and Mr. Brunel, and with which his Royal Highness expressed himself much delighted. After visiting the shield in which the workmen were in active employ, and entering one of the boxes and re ceiving from Mr, Brunel, seu. a practical explanation of its nature and progress, his Royal Highness and companions returned to the shaft, and partook of an elegant cold collation, which had been prepared for them. The Chairman, W. Smith, Esq. M.P. pointed out the various dimensions, Arc. of the undertaking, ex pressed in the French language, and afterwards pro posed to the Directors and the Company, the health of his Royal Highness, and prosperity and permanent amity to Portugal, Britain's ancient ally. This toast was received with universal plaudits, by between five and six hundred well dressed Ladies and Gentlemen, who were congregated on the occasion, and re-echoed by the work people themselves. His Royal Highness returned thanks in the French language, expressive of his thanks for the cordial reap• lion he had every where met with from the British nation, and particularly for the courtesy and attention which be bad received from his Majesty George LV. and concluded with proposing A 6 permanent success to the Thames Tunnel Company:" His Royal Highness being about to retire, Mr. Bru nei rose, and presented to him an elegant and admirably arranged model of the undettaking. enclosed in a neat box, covered wick morocco and gold, at the ingenuity of which his Royal Highness again expressed his admi ration. He then ascended the shaft amidst the shouts of the Company assembled, which were repeated by the multitude collected outside, to the evident satisfac tion of his Royal Highness.- ADpa WI OF THE "PORTUOVBSI GENTLEMEN IN LONDON TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS.

Madras Papers to the 28th of August, bunging the dates from Calcutta to the 19th of August, report that the indigo crop is rather favourable. The Commissioners from Ava had proceeded to Amherst, and from thence to Rangoon, where one of them was detached to the capital of Ara, with all the details of the late arrange. menu. The third payment from the King of Ave was fired within two months from the' 4th of September ; the fourth payment for the month of August, 1828. We have received a Boston Paper of the 13th ult. which states, under the head of'" United States Navy," that " by the Official Papers recently transmited to Congress, it appears that the vessdlto now in commission ase—one ship of the line, six frigates, and foie. schooners.

Ten new sloops of war will be prepared for sea is the course of the year. Under the law for the gradual increase - of the Navy, contracts have been made for the frames of five ships of the line, five frigates, and five sloops of war. Contracts have also been made for a large portion of the labour and materials at the dry docks at-Gosport and Charleston, and the works of the latter have commenced. The Secretary of the Navy is of opinion, that our naval force in commission cannot with propriety be diminished, if regard be paid to our commercial and other interests., He recoaamends the establishment of. a higher grade in the Navy than that of Captain . ; an augmentation of the Marine Corps ; and attention to the Naval Hospital Fund ; and for this purpose four hospitals at Boston, New York s Philadelphia, and Norfolk, have been put chased" -~+~ . .

WINTER ASSIZES. • The late heavy and continued rains have occasioned Teat floods throughout the kingdsom, but: perhaps a no place more extensively than in the vicinity of ,his city. L is well known that several* thieri join in our immediate neighbourhood. Upon this occasion, the banks of each have been overflown, and an immense extent of meadow, pasture, and arable land, has in consequence been completely inundated. The pro. prietors and occupiers of o°o lands will drnhtless experience injury ; but the flood has proved particu. larly calamitous to hundreds of poor persons whose te• nements have been inundated, and who are almost pe rishing for want of fuel, which they aretotally unableto obtain. The state of these sufferers must make a fordible appeal to the feelings of the chaiitably disposed, who will not hesitate to consider whether their destitute situa tion is the result of misfortune or improvidence ; it is certain that a little blanketting and fuel would at this time afford essential relief to the sufferings of many of our fefloW•creatures, and reader their Situationtethpa ratively comfortable and happy. Thursday evening last, according to annual custom, Mrs. Mayoress had a brilliant Assembly at the Mansion House, which was attended by all the beauty and fashion of this town and neighbourhood. Upwards of 500 Ladies and Gentlemen were present, and nothing could exceed the arrangements as well in the ball roam as in the supper room: The Ball was led off by the Sheriff of Newcastle (Edward Dale, Esq.) and Mrs. Bell, of Wool- sington. Friday night last the Wear steam boat took fire in Sunderland harbour, which at one time threatened its destruction. Fortunately the steam boat was unmoored from her birth, and by great exertion the fine was got under. A letter has been received in this town from Cocker- mouth; stating the loss of the large steam 'easel, the Solway, on Thursday last. - The Solway was a ve.y fine vessel, and traded between Carlisle and Liverpool. Great anxiety prevailed among many of the inhabitants of Whitehaven, who expected friends by her. The part of the coast on which she was lost is not yet known, but we are happy to learn that the passengers were all saved. The Court was occupied the whole of the morning in hearing two assault cases. The facts simply were, that Seaman, who is keeper of a lodging house, thrashed Hughes, the servant of an ' inmate, in the morning—and Hughes returned the , obligation with interest in the evening. The Jury found both Guilty. Seaman was fined one shilliog, and Hughes entered into his own recognizance, kto keep the peace towards Seaman for twelve months. • ' rDSTONE, JANUARY B.—Before Mr. Baron lfrauarrios.

Mr. Baron VAUGHAN—What, YOH were unwilling to tell us your real age; was that so? Mrs. Burr.,—They say Ladies generally are—(A laugh.)—The old Lady then proved the loss of her property, and the case was otherwise made out against the prisoner Howel, who was found Guilty, but Peters was acquitted. Mr. Baron VAUGHAII— . -Let sentence of Death be recorded ; and you, Hov.4 may expect to be sent out' of the country, never again to return to it. . As soon as this intimation was pronounced, the old woman, Mrs. Burr, exclaimed, its an animated tone— "Oh my good Lord, I hope not for ever. Do have mercy upon the boy, for the sake family. I hope .. to be able to take off some of his punishment..". Mr. Baron VAUGHAN—So you have ; you have saved him from an immediate death. This is a very bad' off.nce, and old people like you cannot be protected unltss persons like the prisoner are punished. . Before Mr. Justice liseser.. Augustus Frederick Goodwin was indicted for wilful • and corrupt perjury, assigned to have been committed in an affidavit made by him as a special bail in a cause of Wright v. Rouse. The defendant, upon his first exa-. mination in the Bail Court, having-stated that he was a man of substance, an affidavit was made by a person named Lingridge, setting forth that the defendant was not a butcher of Sutton Valence, as he represented him self; that he was in necessitous circumstances; that he had been receiving parochial relief, was living in a house provided by the parish, and he got;his , living by being put in by Rouse to keep.distawsses for rent; which . he had made for Rouse.

A number of witnesses were examined on behalf of the. prosecution, and their evidence established the falsehood of the allegations made in the defendant's affidavit. • . After a trial which lasted the whole day to a late hour. at night, the Jury fouud the defendant Guilty, and he waa sentenced to two years' imprisonment, and hard labour. __— Speaking of the altered state of the cities of India, Viscount CHATEAUBRIAND says—. 4 The cartilages of London are now seen travelling, together with palan quins and caravans, the roads of thi tiger and the elephant."
