The entevtatnntesKPren Was a public breakfaft in the Guild Hall. Though the weather was very unpropitious, this did not prevent a numerous company from paying their , reflseas. Every coach, cheife, chair, and 'every vehicle o f conveyance, .was put in reouifition.— Between eleven and twelve o'clock the company began to *nimble I numbers of thim came full dreffed, as for dinner it was inFended as g drefs meeting, but was not generally hown, and many Gentlemen who hail drelted for the morning in boots were obliged to go to their lodgings, which were at the extremity of the !own, above a mile from the Hall s , to change their diets i bat this re gulation was not Maly enfOrted , and afew were admitted with boots. Ay abopt one. o'clock, the Town Hall was fo completely filled With company, that.there was hardly a pi:ability of moving. The table was very elegantly and futnptuoOly covered. The Lady Mayorefs was dreffed in the nioll (elision able ftyle : the was attended by feveral Ladies of fashion, and felea friends, on her right and let. The top table confined of tea, coffee, choice fruits. and confeaionary of all kinds. The long table was very elegantly decorated, and well fupplied with poultry and favories of every fort, with a profusion of jellies, paltry, &c. There was great abundance of pine apples, and the choicen fruits and wines. The ornaments of the long table con. filled of his Majefly on the Throne, in his robes, with the Lion at his foot, over which hung an ele gant canopy, embelliflied with various devices. On each fide of the pillars were figures prefenting fruits, &c. &c. The ornament on the lower part of the table wai a reprefentation of the grand proceffion which took place the firil day of the Jubilee, under an awning of oak leaves, molt fancifully and talk fully difplayed, fupported bv four 'pillars of tbs. Corinthian Order, handfonsely decorated with fan ciful devices. Amnng the perrons of dinioltion we noticed Lady CHARLOTTI Holum, Lady STANLEY, Lady Gamut*, Lady Hovonton, Lady SUSAN CAR TINTiIip Lady Jaanntonass, Lady rITZGERALD, Mrs. CAT/TUOHY/E t Lord GAIL/WEIL, Lord STAN.. LIT, Sir THOMAS GAON, Mr. CAWTHOINZ, Mr. Hentaocas, and Mr. WATSON, The corn pany were entertained during the break fall with an eacellent Band. After the company was refrethed, the tables were cleared away, and they promenaded the two Halls for fame time.— There was afterwards a good deal of dancing. Lady SUSAN Caarawraa danced with Lord Gaaottaa. The company feparated, exprefUng tbeit fatif faftion at the truly ele_gant entertainment, and the polite and accomplifhed manners of the Lady Mayors& In the evening the Theatre was crowded to an overflow for-Mt:moan's Benefit. Part of the Pit was laid into Boxes. The performances were Tit Paws, The Child gNarvy, and T& Rival &kite's. I have much fatisfaftion in Rating that during the jubilee the nations of the Police defern every degree of credit. One of the moR notorious of the London gang of pickpockets is in cuflody. His apprsbsnf nn was effeaed by the information given by an oldoffender, wit* was lately admitted King's evidence on a trial. This man explained to the principal officers of the Police the whole of their plaits. their - places of meeting, and a number of other ulate, which were the means of pre meds, dear depredatioas. Two more of thisgang, finding their componlowintußody, thought it ex pedient to decamp, and they left their boric: at the. Inn whets they iotkod. The fellow ftcirred-vrastakaa before the Mayor, and, not being able to,Ove a fatisfaaory account of Ward( ' be was easnmetted for farther examina tion. There is no doubt entertained of the ,two fellowswho made dating:ape being hiseonspanions. as they lodged together. On (earthing thefellow is coliody be was found to bate upwards of 251. idea& upon him. Oa the Saturday previous to the Jubilee, the Police Magiarates of Mancheßer (*citing there would be ibau pickpockets on their way to the Jubilee in the town, mticularly as it was mar ket day, a party of officers, attended by the roan who gave the information, went into the Market Place, and the man pointed out one who had lately returned from tranfportation, in com pany with two reputed thieves; upon which they took them all into cußody, and on their being taken before the Magifirates, not being able to give a fatisfadory account of themfelves, they were committed as rogues and vagabonds. • They ac knowledged they were going to attend the Prelim Jubilee. This vigilance of the Magiftrates of Mancheßer is worthy of the imitation of Magißrates through. out the country at large.

I have jult received your letter of the 24th of !aft month, enclofing an Addrefs to me from the Officers of the Regiment 1 had lately the honour to . command, and which I find has been figned by forne of them, in circulatim, in different parts of the country, fince the regiment was difbanded. I am fully aware that I owe to your partiality, founded on our long .eftabliffied friendihip, and certainly not to any merit which I pofrefs, the highly favourable opinion of my general charac ter, with which you accompany your cordial concurrence in every fentiment expreffed in the Addrefs of our Brother Officers. To them I beg you t ill have the goodnefs to communicate the jult fenfe I entertain of their very flattering attention to me on this occafion, which I receive with more plearure at my bathing quarters in Peterhead, after the influence of com mand has ceafed, than I would have felt had the Addrefs been prefented to me at the bead of the Regiment. Affure them that it will be a fource of great fatisfaftion to me in my retirement, after 4o years fervice in different parts of the world, to know that my efforts to promote their welfare and interea, and. to maintain with your and their af fiftance, the general refpatability of a very fine Regiment, has procured me the happinefs of their good opinion. Inform them, that lam fenfible the goodnefs of their hearts has made them over rate the effects of my endeavours to be of ufe to them, and that knowing my good difpofitions ter wards them, they generoufly give me credit, not merely for what I did, but for what I would have done, if I had had the power of giving them more folid proofs of my attachment and regard. To you I was greatly indebted for the zeal, judgment, and ability with which you attended to the Internal economy, and to the difcipline of the Regiment. You had the art to combine firmn!ls with kindoefs, which enabled me to eflablith good order without having recourfe, but very feldom, to coercive meafures ; but which, we mutt gladly acknowledge, our united attentions could not have prevented the painful neceflity of, if we had not had under our command a corps compofed of the' heti difpofed men that, in the .courfe of my long fervice, I have ever feen collated together in the fame Regiment. I remain, ever with the greatelt regard, My dear Friends, yours faithfully, (Signed) ALEX. II! . MURRAY. Lieut. Colonels Rob. M. Murray, and J..ha M•Donald, late Royal Clan-Alphas Regime:li. The Duke of You reviewed the Fitt} Dra goons, at Wimbledon, on Friday; it rained dur ing the greater part f the evolutions, with the precifion and rapidity of which, however, his Royal Highnefs expreffed the highek approbation. This corps proceeds to Exeter. The sd Dragoon Guards are arrived at PeirC• 1411 Barracks, North Britain. The 3d Dragoon Guards have marched to Ha- milton and its neighbourhood. During the lailweek a complete change has taken place in the garrifon of Wincheller: the 4oth have marched to Portfmouth, to take the duty at that place ; the 457th are gone to Briflol, on their way to Ireland, and the sth to Guernfey.
