• THE HAMPTON COURT BEAUTIES. PROM THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZIN& (Concluded from the STAR of yesterday.) THE COUNTESS OE DORSET.—Lady Mary Compton, daughter of Compton Eirl of Northampton, and second wife of Charles flack ville, Earl of Dorset. This Earl of Dorset, the Mwcenas of Prior, was one of the most celebrated men of his time; he was the ge nerous patron of the witty and the learned; himself a poet and a man of wit, and so amiable in his temper and manners, that he was universally beloved. " I don't *now how it is," said Lord Rochester once, a 8 but Lord Dorset may do what he will—he is always in the right." He was brave, generous, and charitable even to a fault. Charles the Second, who was fond of his society, and admired his wit, " seemed to court him to be a fa vourite; but be would not give himself the trouble that belonged to that post : he hated the Court, and de spised the King, when he saw be was neither generous nor tender-hearted."* He wrote some personal satires so severe, that he might justly have been styled " The best-natured roan, with the worst-natured Muse." It was this Lord Dorset who first introduced Nell Gwyn at Court, in order to shake the influence of the Duchess of Cle►eland,in which she was partly successful. The first Countess of Dorset was the beautiful Miss fagot, so celebr.rteA in the Memoirs of De Grammont. On her death he marrieJ Lady Mary Compton, "famed for her beauty and admirable endowments of mind." She was a w iman of gre it sense and spirit, and distin guished herself by the share she took in the escape of the Princess Anne. The Princess, after her husband had joined the Prince of Orange, was left in London, and, hearing of the King's approach, she was so struck by the apprehension of his displeasure, that she ex claimed to her friend, Lady Marlborough, 6 6 that rather than meet the face of her injured father, she would jump out of the window.' The same night she escaped in the Earl of Dorset's carriage, assisted and supported by the presence of mind and affectionate attention of the Countess, " who furnished her with everything," and with her husband attended her to Nottingham. The Countess of Dorset died a short time after her marriage, in the full bloom of her youth and • beauty. ; She left a son, and a slaughter, afterwards Duchess of, Beaufort. This portrait must, by a comparison of dates, have been painted only a few months before her death. The figure is singularly elegant and graceful, the face beau tiful, but rather insipid, and not at all expressive of that intellectual power for which this Countess was remark able. The drapery is rich, trimmed with jewels and ermine ; but the whole tone of the picture is too sombre, and the back-ground (a fine bit of landscape) is almost , lost in black shadows ; a little cleaning and varnishing would probably remedy this, which is more the effect of time and damp than the fault of the painter. LADY MIDDLETON.—This is so beautiful a picture, that we cannot help regretting the more that so little is known of the original. There was a Countess of Middleton in this reign celebrated for her beauty ; but, as her husband was a staunch Jacobite, who never could be prevailed upon to court the rising sun, it is very un likely that the picture of his wife would be admitted into William's Gallery of Beauties. There wet eno less than five Baronets of the name of Middleton living at tie same tia.e, so that it has become almost impossible to identify the origifial of this lovely picture. Lady Middleton is represented as a shepherdess, with a crook in her hand: this was the affected taste of the day, and is the only fault of the picture. The figure is beautiful on a small scale ; the features, soft and delicate, ss ith a look of pensive sweetness; the drapery, painted with ex. treme richness of colour, and the landscape free, airy, and brilliant ; most unlike the usual style of this master, in which the back-ground is almost always sacrificed to the head. The colouring has suffered less in this picture than in any of the others. THE Dt.ctress OF Sr. ALBANS.—Lidy Diana Vere, daughter of Aubrey de Vere, twentieth and last Earl of Oxford of his family.t This beautiful woman, the sole remaining representa tive of her illustrious race, was the greatest heiress in riches and blood in the three kingdoms. Cbarles the Second early cast his eye upon her for one of his sons, and she was united in 1694, to Charles Beaucleit, Duke of St. Alban's, natural son of the King by Nell Gwyn. She was extremely young when she first appeared at Court in the reign t f William the Third, and appears to have been as amiable and innocent as she was lovely. Lord Lansdown passes her over with a slight allusion, as "rich in charms;" but she found a better admirer in Addison, who has given her a distinguished place among the toasts, written tor the Kit-Cat Club. " The line of Vert-, so long reuown'd in arms, Concludes with lu4tre in St. Alban's charms; kler conquering eyes have made their race complete, It rose in valour, and in beauty set." And again,— The.saints above can ask, but not bestow, — This saint can give all happiness below." Aubrey de Vere, Earl of Oxford, the father of this beautiful Duchess, lived to distinguish himself in five successive reigns, by the facility with which he adapted himelf to the tastes and manners of all. Ile was sin gularly handsome, and possessed of many personal and courtly accomplishments; but he had neither wit, nor talent, nor principle. In the reign of Charles the Second he became enamoured of a beautiful young actress, who played so inimitably the part of Roxana in Lee's " Rival Queens," that she was known by no other name. Lord Oxford long besieged her with prayers, with presents, with every temptation he could devise ; but the yuung Sultana had virtue, spirit, and a respectable mother to protect her, and his offers were , treated with the disdain they deserved. At length he , proposed marriage, promising to acknowledge her as his wife, and they were privately united, in the presence of witnesses, who signed the contract. Shortly after wards the unfortunate girl discovered that she had been betrayed by a false marriage ; that the pretended Cler gyman wus Lord Oxford's trumpeter, and the witness his drummer, both of whom disappeared immediately alter the ceremony, She loudly exclaimed against such unheard-of perfidy ; she threw herself at the feet oldie King, and besought his justice and compassion— in vain; in that profligate court all stratagems of gal lantry were accounted lawful; and what had a pretty actress to do with virtue? it was, "erre impertinence, sore obstination inouie." She met with no redress, scarcely even with pity, but went home to her poor mother, and died broken hearted. Lord Oxford plumed himself on his conquest : and it does not appear that • Runlet's History. Reckoning from the Conquest ; but the Verse were Saxon Earls before the time of Edward the Confessor. f " Elk n'esse qu'i se Meyer," adds Miss Hobart 3 who relates the story in De Grammont. his detestable and cowardly perfidy excited either stir. prise or animadversion. This is the story alluded to in "Peveril of the Peak, where the &al is celled a young Nobleman ; but Aubrey de Vere was botn in the reign of James the First, and, therefore, could hardly plead his youth as an excuse for his excesses. lie died in 1702, and saw, with all the mortification of a vain, weak, and proud man, his illustrious name and long descended honours, expire in himself. The Duchess of St. Aiban's was the mother of eight sons, and lived to see most of them distinguished in the service of their country.* She was first Lady of the Bedchamber, and Lady of the Stole to Queen Caroline, and died in 1741. This picture was painted at the time of her marriage, and the face and figure are those of a blooming girl of fourteen or fifteen. She is represented as leaning on a sculptured vase, containing an orange tree, and holding one of the fruit in her hand. The features are delicate, with an expression of childish simplicity and sweetness, and the drapery easy and graceful. On the whole, this may be pronottnced one of the most beautiful of the collection. Tim COUNTINS OF Esszx.—Lady Mary Bentinck, eldest daughter of William Earl of Portland (the fa vourite of William the Third), and wife of Algernon Cape), second Earl of Essex. - This Earl of Essex was a valiant and distinguished offi cer, and son of that unhappy Lord Essex, who was found with his throat cut in the Tower, on the occasion of L-rd Russell's trial. We find the beauty of the Countess ofsEssex - , celebrated by most of the courtly poets of that time; and all, without exception, particularise the ex treme gentleness and retiring sweetness of her disposi tion. The following stanza was composed on her marriage, in allusion to the military prowess of the Kingf, and her own gentle charms: " The bravest hero, and the gentlest dame, From Belgium's happy clime Britannia drew ; One pregnant cloud we find does often frame The awful thunder and the gentle dew." Addison bas been happier in the elegant compliment he pays her among the toasts of the Kit-Kat Club: " To Essex fill the sprightly wine ! Let purest odours scent the air, And wreaths of roses bind our hair : In her chaste lips these blushing lie, And those het gentle sighs supply!" Lady Essex was not so happy in her painter, as in her poet ; if the fitter may be supposed to have flattered a little, the former has done her less than justice. Het portrait is the least striking of all the " Beauties"— meagre in the colouring, and cold and stiff in design : the face has considerable sweetness, but this is all. These are all theßeauties actually at Hampton Court; but in the engraved set three ethers are generally in cluded ; Sarah, the Duchess of Marlborough, the Countess of Clarendon, and the Duchess of Manchester, all celebrated women in their day. We look in vain, too, for some beautiful faces ) which the works of Addi son, Pope, and Steele, have rendered familiar to us by name ; as, for example, Lady Wham n, the Duchess a Queensbury,t Lady Newburgh (Lord Lansdown's Myra), Arabella Fermor (the heroine of the " Rape of the L ock"), and a host of others; but of these hereafter. • Lord Sidney Beauclerc, her fifth son, was the father of Topham Beane!ere i the celebrated wit and friend of Dr. Johnson, wbo makes suc h a figure in Boswell's Life. t And not of husband, as Mr. Noble supposes. 4 K lf Queensberry to strip there's no compelling, 'Tts from her handmaid we must take a Helm'. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. -..1,.- MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. Middleton. a Merchant, resident in Devonshire street, whose counting-house was broken open a short time ago. and robbed of Bank.nntes, summoned the book-keeper of Mr. Water house, the respectable proprietor of the Swan with Two Necks, in Lad-lane, to account for the possession of a Bank of England note for £2O, which had been amongst those that were stolen from the complainant's premises. Air. Middleton's statement was to the following effect : His warehouse bad been broken open on the night of the 2241 of September, and robbed of Bank notes. He gave information at the Bank of the numbers of the notes, and a few days ago he learned that the £2O in question had been paid in by the house of Smith, Payne, and Smith. He found upon inquiry tbat the Bank ing-house had received the note from Mr. Waterhouse's clerk or book-keeper, and he immediately went to Mr. Waterhouse upon the subject. The necessary inquiry was made at the establishment, and it was akenained that the clerk bad received the £ 2 O note from some person, but who that person was nobody knew, as the' house was in the habit of accommodating with change, persons who had business to transact with it, and this it was in the habit of doing, on account of the great multiplicity of business, without entering the name or address of the person so accommodated. The complainant thought it necessary, under the circumstances, to apply ' to the Lord Mayor, in order that a proper investigation might take place into the circumstances. Hemans, Mr. Waterhouse's clerk, was then questioned by the Lord Mayor, and he made a atatement to this effect : He was in the habit of taking to the Bankers a considerable sum of money daily, which the house received from a great variety of persons.—' On the day the £2O note was paid into the Bankers, be had re ceived no less than £520 from differ( nt persons in the employment of Mr. Waterhouse, and he did not know from what particular person he had received the note in question. Another clerk stated that he could not say from whom the £2O had been received. It was impossible to decide, as they were in the habit of accommodating Gentlemen, and were not in the habit of taking names or addresses. The Loan Maroc —This way of doing business, sell not do at all. Mr. Lee, Solicitor to air. Waterhouse, represented the difficulty of transacting bu s iness in the manner of which the Lord Mayor would approve, in such an extensive and bustling concern as that of Mr. Waterhouse. It was easy to give false names and addresses, and therefore the House accommodated those who had business to do, without upon all occasions requiring such particulars. A great deal of discussion took place upon the subject of the man ner in which business was done at Mr. Waterhouse 'establishment, and the Lord Mayor made the most accurate enquiries into the particular transaction referred to. Nothing further, however, could be done in the case. It could sot be stated who had paid the EU at the Inn; but it was, the Lord Mayor said, palpable that the note had been paid to one of that firm, by one df the clerks, and that further trace failed in consequence of the necessary precaution of having the name and address of the party written upon the note, not being taken. Mr. Lee repeated, that the proprietors might have received a wrong name and address. He declared it was impossible that busi ness of such a nature as that of Mr. Waterhouse could be conducted with greater regularity. The Loan Maros told the complainant that he could not do any more in the case. _ _ Mr. Lee complained that a summons had been granted upon such n occasion. His Lordship said he considered that he was perfectly right in consenting to bear the particulars of the case. He considered that the subject was of some importance. Mr. Lee—l ask Mr. Middleton whether he was net assisted by Mr. Waterhouse as muck as it was possible to be assisted in the investigation? Mr. Middleton admitted that he was. The case ended with a hope, upon the part of the Lord Mayor, that the usual practice adopted by men of business, would not be any longer neglected. A Stockbroker of respectability, was summoned before the Loin Marna, to answer the charge of having obtained sums of money, to the amount of SM. from a young Gentleman, who holds an office in the East India House. Each party had a Solicitor in attendance: The Secretary to'the Managers of the Stock Exchange stated? in answer to questions from the complainant's Solicitor, that the de fendant was not a Member of the &ock Exchange, and that he had never been one. r —But he r. izitt be a Lhukyr, without btion;;tig to tilt Stuck Exctuogr. Defendant's i 4 precisely the case, and as respect able a man as any un the Stock Exchange. • Air. G. P. Williams, the complainant, stated, that he became ac quainted with the Stock-bra ker, by an introduction from the clerk of the latter. Witness went to him, in March hot, to have busi ness transacted for him in the Funds. He had a wish to make an operation in the Funds, far the April Account, what w•as called a timr•b;rgaia, and he therefore employed the defendant. On the Bth March, he gave to defendant soi. on the same day, 501. more; on the 10th, lOW. on the 11th, 2131. on the 12th, 171. and on the 13th, 551. Part of this amount had been given to the defendant's clerk, and the whole had been given as deposits on the speculation in the Funds. The Defendant.—l admit the receipt of all the sums without he sitation. The transaction was a perfectly correct one, as I can prove. The Complainant's Solicitor— Where was the last transaction of the 455 entered into? Complainant—He dined with me that day, and we went to the Theatre together, but to which I do not know, and we made the bargain in the Sal oon. It was a bargain of " put and call." The complainant's attorney here produ:ed what he said was the account of the bargain transactidns. He declared that it was no account at all.. There were none of those particulars which a man mast expect in a pecuniary transaction—no names of the persons supposed to have been concerned were mentioned, neither was there any thing-like correctness in the items. In fact, the transaction ap pears to be a most sqspicious one, and it is obligatory upon the de fendant to produce his proofs that he has dealt uprightly. The Loan MAYOR, after having looked over the account, said, that the transaction was altogether illegal, but it was a tbing.of constant practice, and those who made time bargains, were fully aware of the illegality of what they were about. - The complainant's Solicitor said, that be would not press this matter, were it not that the transaction was quite out of the way of doing business. The LORD MAYOR did not see how this case could be called an obtaining of money under false representations. Complainant's Solicitor—There is not a single price in the ac count corresponding with the days prices in Wetenhall's list. Defendant's Solicitor—The complainant had full opportunity of ascertaining whether the most honourable conduct had not been adopted towards him. The names of the persons concerned in the bargains were given to him, and he tr fr ight have easily learned from them all the particulars of the transaction. .The Loan llliseoa—l must say, that this account is a most un satisfactory one, and it is the duty of a broker, where a aunt of money is concerned, to be most particular in his accounts, whether the bargains be time bargains or not. Mr. Hobler—ln illegal transactions of this kind, the names of the parties are not given by brokers, except the correctness of the dealing is questioned. Coaiplain int's Solicitor—The complainant is a mere boy, and he has, in this sort of business, lost upwards of X9OO. One of these bargains was made in the saloon of a Theatre. Is it not a most scandalous transaction ? Besides, this d-fendant is not entitled to act on the Stock Exchange. The LORD MA YOR-AIAS he no friends to prevent him from en gaging in things of this description? It is melancholy to see al young man destroying his property in such a manner. The complainant's Solicitor said, that a threat had been made to arrest his client after the account was closed. The complainant—Yes, after slur account was closed, the defend ant came to me, and said, that lie would put a bailiff into the house, if I did not pay the difference. There was a person with him, who, he said, was the person concerned. The defendant's Solicitor stated, that his client's character stood too high to lie, affected by what might be said at random. The LORD MAYOR. told the complainant, that the defendant would furnish him with a detailed account of the several dealings, and that he (complainant) might regulate his conduct with respect to the case accordingly. BOW-STREET. THE SEOTCHMAN AND THE Jew.—A tall Scotebman was brought before Air. Aftesnut.t,, charged with having clothed himself with a pair of breeks, belonging to Mr. Levi, a Jew, in liolywell-street, Strand, and with attempting to carry them off, without paying for them—The Jew, who was attended by a number of 'this tribe," stated that the prisoner came into his ►hop, in liolywell-street, Strand, that morning, and said that he wanted a pair of breeches ; but be could not afford to go beyond the price of 101. Witness sup. plied him with a pair, and the Scotchman having stripped off his tower ragged garment, supplied their place with the article sold by the witness. The prisoner tied up his old trousers in a bundle, and took a crown piece out of his pocket, saying," you owe me ss. Mr. Levi, anti here is Ss. and that will settle the business," and left the shop. Mr. Levi followed him, and brought him back andgave him in charge of a constable. Mr. Mtssnutt. asked the Scotchman to explain his very extra ordinary conduct ? The prisoner said, in a very broad Scotch dialect, that about twelve month. ago, when he arrived in London front Scotland, wishing to appear respectable, he went to Holywell.street, and at the shop of Air. Levi be saw a very fine sort of coat that just fitted him, and he bargained for it, and left ss. deposit. When be called for the garment, some time afterwards, the Jew said be bad sold it, and refused to give him up the Ss. deposit because he bad not ap plied for it within the time agreed. lie was passing by Mr. Levi's shop this morning with a dollar in his pocket, and seeing a pair of breeks marked 10s. he thought he would just go into the shop and settle the outstanding account, and so he did; and he told Mr. Levi," that the ss. he had of his as a deposit, and the ss. he then gave him, would just settle all differences." Mr. MINSHULL said, that if- Mr. Levi actually had received a deposit of five shillings, the prisoner had not gone In a fair and legal way to recover it, and ordered the Scotchman to receive back his dollar, and to return the trousers. It ought to be stated, in justice to the Scotchman, that the Jew did not deny having received the five shillings deposit.—Fnrde, the gaoler, permitted the Scntchman to have the use of his dressing room in the prison-yard, to take off the Jew's garment. The &otchman put on his old trousers, and went away, threatening to summon the Jew to the Court of Requests for the ss. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. William "Rick and Levis, the engine-keepers of Mat y.la-bonne and St. George's, Hanover-square, were charged with having unduly obtained 11. 15s. from Mr. Cole, Secretary to the Grand Junction Water Works, residing In Lower Brook-street. Mr. Cole deposed, that on the 12th July the window of the first floor was opened, against which was a lighted candle; the wind fanned the flame against the sun-blind, which set it on fire. Heating a noise below. Mrs. Cole ran out of the drawing-room, and instantly put the fire out. In about ten or fifteen minutes after, two engines arrived, and waited before the house about half an hour, when they went away. About two days afterwards two men came, who re presented themselves to be the engine-keepers of the above-stated plrishes, and claimed and received the rewards generally paid for the first and second engines in case of real fire. Mr. Roc said, that he was determined to put an end to this sys tem of fraud, which prev4 ed to a great extent, and should send the defendants to be tried. Committed till they could procure bail of 401. each. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday, three fellows, named T. Edwards, Ames Harris. and John Powell, were brought up in custody of Waddington and Mills, of the Bow-street patroloharged with stealing 61. worth of stamps out of the shop of Mr. &mon, a stationer. residing in the King's road.—Tbe prisoners, it appeared, had called at Mr. Benson's on Wednesday evening, under pretence of purchasing some drawing paper • Edwards and Howell contrived to engage the attention of Mr. B enson, whilst Harris watched an opportunity to slip a parcel of stamps ourof a glass case which lay on the counter, and the fel lows went ofE In a short time afterwards the stamps were missed; but no stranger had come into the shop in.the interval. Xhe stamps now produced were complainant's property. Waddington, the patrol, said that he observed the three prisoners, who w ere all Well known as men of bad character, go into several shops in Gray's Inn-lane, on Thursday evening. On being appre hended, they offered some resisaance, but were finally secured ; j the stamps were found upon Harris, and a tortoiseshell comb upon Powell; the comb had been stolen from the shop of Mr. Hicks, haberdasher, in Gray's Inn-lane. _ _ _ The prisoners declared that it was all a mistake, that they had sever been in Mr. Benson's shop, and that they picked up the stamps in the street. The charge wai, however, fully sustained in both cases, and the prisoners were fully committed. Thomas Downes was brought up in the custody of a constable, charged with picking a silk handkerchief out of the pocket of Robert Dixon, Esq. the baryister.—The prisoner could not deny the fact, and was fully committed. MARY• LA-BONNE. Mr. Ives, proprietor of the Acton and Ealing stage, was fined in the mitigated penalty of £5 for not having his Christian and sur name, together with the places to and from which the coach goes, painted conspicuously on the coeds doors, accorJing to the terms of an Act passed several yeah ago, but the peualties of which hate lately been enforced at the suit of I.l.iison and t i o or witneci 12.iwling. Mr. Ives pleaded guilty through ignoranc e , paid the fine. Mr. Green, owner of the Uxbridge stage, wag charged by John. sores worthy witness with having merely 0 Richard S. Green, Uxbridge," on the deor, and net the word " London." Mr. Green observed, he had the words " New Inn, Old Bailey," on the Ud e istumel, not knowing it was necessary to have it all on the door; but as the Act particularly states the word door, Mr. Green was also fined A' 5. Informations bad also been laid against Mr. John Archer, of the Harrow, and Mr. Joshua Hearn, of the Hemel Hempstead coaches; but as both these parties were prevented attending by illness, their cases were postponed. QUEEN-SQUARE. Joseph Gardiner, an ill-looking fellow, and who appeared in the dress of a labouring man, was charged with cutting and maiming two persons. Thursday afternoon, the prisoner Wag seen walking up and down Turk's-row, Chelsea ;he had an open knife in his hand, such as shoemakers use ; he brandished it about, and threat. ened to kill any person who interrupted him. Having knocked att aged woman down, a pensioner, named Gorman, ventured to ex. postulate with him; but the prisoner made a lunge at him with his knife, which cut his clothes and his thumb ; a person, named Knight, then desired the prisoner to give up the knife; but be said he would not, and stabbed Knight in the left side, and also in the thigh, near the groin. Knight immediately rushed on the prisoner, got hint down, and with the assistance of other persons, they succeeded in getting the knife from him. Mr. Knight was taken to St. George's Hospital, and be was in such a bad state, thu he was unable to attend. The prisoner said nothing in his defence, and he was re. manded for a further examination. WORSHIP-STREET. RIOT; Ix OLD Srazirr.—Charles Williams, and two women named Pope and Flulam, were charged with being concerned in a riot ill Old-street. It appeared that Henderson, a pork butcher, let his first floor to one Pope, and after eight weeks' lodgings were due, he was compelled to send in a broker last Thursday. The same evening, Mrs. Pope took out one of the windows, and ell iillited a placard, inscribed in large letters " The Work of Cruelty by a Landlord." She alio placed before it a lantern, so as to attract public attention. In a few minutes after a mob assembled, and he gan to throw stones at Mr. Henderson's house, which they threaten. ed to demolish. The parish officers succeeded in dispersing.the mob, but yesterday morning they reassembled, when the prisoners were taken Into custody. Pope had previously effected his escape. Mr. TWYTORD observed that if a stop was not put to such riotous proceedings, a man might as well live in the Wilds of Ireland as in Old-street, he therefore held them to bail. The verdict of the Coroner's Inquest, in the case of Thomas Cooper, who died whilst eating roast goose, was " Died by suffocation." Thursday evening a drunken female was knocked down by the Gloucester coach, the wheel of which went over her head, and killed her on the spot. The Journeymen silk-weavers of Macclesfield had a Meeting on Thursday, at which they agreed to petition !Parliament for the total abolition of the Corn Laws. Several persons spoke at considerable length, and with an ability which could not have been expected from the !rank which they hold in society. ROWEL—Rooks are zinimonly supposed to be in fluenced by an affection for certain localities; but in the following fact it appears they are also capable of that individualizing affection which fixes, by a process of moral discrimination, on man: "A Gent'em an rented a small farm, in the county of Essex, where he had not resided long before a number. of rooks came and built their nests on a number of trees immediately surround ing the premises. They multiplied in the course of three or four years so as to form a considerable rookery. About this time, however, the farmer was induced to hire a larger farm, which obliged him to change his residence and forsake his rooks; but to his great surprise and pleasure, the whole rookery deserted their former habitation, and followed him to his new abode, which was about three quarters of a nsil , .! off." It should be added, that this Gentleman w.:s dkinguished for his kindness and attention to the lower animals in general. DIED.
