Yesterday a Gentleman was knocked down by the pole of the Duke of GLOUCESTER'S carriage, while pissing through the archway of Somerset House, and sal sevenly hurt by being trampled upon by the lures.

Mr. LONG WELLESLEY POLE got out of his pig in Bend -street, at the end of Conduit-street, and leWoled the mnnagement of the horse and gig to his rum. At that instant, the horse, a spirited animal, Ica fright at something, and ran furiously up Con da;;-strest. The groom's efforts to manage him prored useless. The spectators were greatly alarmed to the safety of the young man ; the horse passed 'tr E'xailvv-street. and came in contact with the ,st alid the shutters of the linen-draper's shop the ever of 'rvley's-vreet.

" We feel duly sensible of the inestimable blessings we enjoy under the auspicious House of Bruns% ick, and cannot but re joke in every event which strengthens our hopes for their pre servation and continuance. " That this union may be productive of permanent felicity to your Royal Highness, that it may strengthen the firm attach ment of the People of these realms to his Majesty's Crowa and Government, and that your Royal Highness may long enjoy every earthly blessing, is our mow ardent wish and fervent prayer. (Signed by order of the Court) " HENRY h 'They were all graciously received, and Lis Royal Highness was pleased to return the following most gracious answer : I thank you for this dutiful and affectionate Acleress.

I have the most confident reliance on your firm attachment to his Majesty's Crown and Government; and I sincerely rejoice in every circumstance which calls forth the expression of your loyal scuti:nents." The LORD MAYOR, Aldermen, and Members of the Court, then proceeded to Cambridge House, and were shortly introduced to the Duke and Duchess of CAMBRIDGE; when the following compliments of congratulation were presented: T. TO HIT ROYAL 1110M1ICTS TIM MITT OT CAXIIRIDCL " May it please your Royal Highness, go We, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons. of the City of London, in Common Council assembled, feel the most lively satisfaction in approaching your Royal Highness with our sincere Congratulations on your Marriage with the Princess of Hesse, youngest daughter of the Landgrave Frederick, and niece of the Elector of Hesse.

" That so auspicious an alliance may long be a source of un interrupted felicity to your Royal llighness and your Royal Consort, is the ardent wish of the Citizens of London. ((Signed by Order of Court) " HLNRY woonntoare." His Royal Highness returned the following answer: " This Address of Congratulation on my marriage from the Corporation of the City of London, as being a mark of their loyalty and attachment to the House of Brunswick, cannot but afford me the sincerest pleasure and satisfaction, and I return you my best thanks for it ; but it is peculiarly gratifying to me, l i as proceeding from a body of Gentlemen with most of whom I have, at a former period, while in command of the London Dis trict, been in the habits of much personal intercourse, and for whom I shall ever entertain the greatest esteem and regard."

To which her Royal Highness returned the follow. • ing answer: " I thank you eery much for this Address of Corgratcleion on my marriage with the Duke of Cambridge. and for the good , wishes you have been pleased to express to me cn the occasion. " Taught from earliest life to set a high value on the ties of birth which connect me with this country, I know }low to ap preciate this testimony of regard from the City of London." . - Heritoyal Highness read the answer very distinctly. The intended new opening from Piccadilly, on the west side of Burlington House, into Burlington Gar dens, opposite Cork -street, will be covered with an awning, similar to that of the Albany ; but, instead of chambers, handsome shops are to be fitted up on each side for the display of articles of taste and fancy. The representation that Drury-lane Theatre will close aftcr Monday next is inaccurate ; the perfor mances arc to continue in regular succession after that day till the end of the season. The Duke and Duchess of CAMBRIDGE have signified their inter.tior. of visiting the Theatre on Wednesday next. Mr. DECAMP has been the successful bidder for the management of the Theatre at Newcastle-on-Tyne. He is to give £425 per annum for three years, with security, and a London Company. The interment of the late Mr. Coss, of the East India Honse, took place in the burial-ground at Old Windsor, on Monday last, with every mark of love and respect so justly due to the mortal remains of a man who, while in Fie, was beloved most by those who knew him best. His afflicted widow returned on the following day to her house in Russell-square, which may be truly called at this moment the House of Mourning. We are desired to state, that the Second Volume of Archdeacon Coxfs Memoir: of JOHN Duke of 111 Aile BOROUGH, with his Original Correspondence, collected from the Family Records at Blenheim, and other au thentic Sources ; illustrated with Portraits, Maps, and lilitaryPlans will be published by MeSSTS.LONGUAN and Co. on iuesday, the 30th inst.—The Third and last Volume will be ready in November. The town of Cheltenham in 1805 is said to have paid D201:0 assessed taxes ; in 1818, 1.10,800. The increase in the number of stage coaches has been from three to upwards offifty daily. A WOAD TO TILL Wtsz.—Fortune seems to reserve the Three Twenty Thousands still in her Wheel, in order to crown her favourite, ETTON, on the Second Day, (16th Jane). Happy will those be who timely secure their lucky Numbers, at No. $, in CORNHILL, where Evrox's former graad Capital Prize of Twenty Thousand Pow.uls, came out on a similar BIRTH DAY LOTTERY. This is certainly a powerful inducement Ito Purchasers aot to lose so great as opportunity. ~~ SPORTING iNTELLtatieL Ascot I HEATH, JUNE lit: His Royal Highness the Duke of Yowl attended the ("anise again this day, as en the three preceding ones; the Nobility and Gentry, as well as other visitors, were not numerous : and the different races were concluded as follows: A Sweepstakes of Bogs. each, 20gs. forfeit.

On T.i. sday next he will have walked five out of the six weeks required for the undertaking. Notwithstanding his exertions, and the extreme warmth of the weather, he appears perfectly fresh and confident of success; and yesterday, at half-past eleven, after completing the quarter of a mile in the time allowed (a quarter of au hour), he very composedly, instead of going.to rest, sit down and wrote a let ter : he reposes on a couch at intervals for about 20 minutes, the nature of the wager not admitting a longer portion of rest. Mr. Panes, of Elmswell, has commenced a similar undertaking of going a quarter of a mile every quarter of an hour for a fort night: as he begs!, on Tuesday last his labours, if successful, will terminate at the same time with EATON'S. SINGULAR BATTLE .—A battle was lately fought in a marsh adjoining the town of Shrerneas, between two navigators, fur a gallon of beer, in the fol!..wing manner :--They had their hands tied behind them, and then butted each other with their heads; they fought till their heads were literally beaten into such a state that they were not fit to be .can. One of them is a Wcichman, the other a Lancashireman.

" A meeting of several persons, calling then;sselveg freemen of Coventry, was held on Tuesday evening, at the Eagle Tavern, in the City Road, for the pur pose of proposing Mr. Cobbett as a candidate to re present that city in the next Parliament. Mr. Hunt, who is to be found in almost every public place, was present, and took the Chair. He said that Mr. Cobbett, as the friend of liberty, and as one who had enlightened men's minds more than any other ever had done on the subject of pelitics, was a very fit person to be retur ned for Coventry. The meeting was honoured by the presence and the active support of Mr. Dyrdi, the ci-devant gteen•coated Orator, and some of tile Reso lutions in favour of Mr. Cobbett were proposed by him. The principal supporter, however, of the ab sentee Candidate, was a Mr. BRYANT, who threw ot:t many severe reflections on Mr. BUTTERWORTH, as the supporter of measures hostile to the liberties of the people ; and who declared he would stand the poll for Mr. Cobbett, in case of his not arriving from America, before the election. Among the Resolu tions was one for opening a subscription to defray the expense of CORBETT s election ; but it did not appear that much money was subscribed. Mr. WAR* proposed Sir HENRY WRIGHT WILSON as a Candi date. This proposal WAS negatived on a division, 100 against 2.
