HIS MAJESTI"S COLLECTION OF PAINTINGS. --....nWMP ..-- Ilia MAJRSTY has been graciously pleased to honour the British Institution and to gratify the Public by the loan of his splendid collection of Paintings at Carlton Palace. These, therefore, will of themselves form the exhibition of the summer season this year at the Institu tion, to which place they are now being transferred.— The nature of the wo, ks of art, as well as the import ance they derive fr►m being the property of the Illus trious Owner, who so well appreciates merit, Will render the display in the highest degree interesting. The rooms will be occasionally lit up, as usu 11, for the fa shionable world. This Collection is uncommonly rich in works of the Dutch and Flemish Schools. This, in fact forms its principal characteristic. The following Pictures are particularly interesting : The Skip Budder and kis rVe, by Rzmaitairtrr, excellent for its exceedingly high finish, and fine effect of light and shade; the wife is represented as having just entered the room. and is in the act of presenting a letter to her husband.—A Landscape, in which is in troduced Philip Baptising she Igunuck, by Burn ; the glow and splen. dour of the evening sun pervades this picture, which is the finest reduction of the Master.— A Merry Making, by Tgallag, painted for the top of the Artist's harpsicbord.—Two pictures, by Warman, one a Masquerade Sane; the other from a French Play, in his high est finished style. These pictures are not so rich as usual with Warraau, but their colouring is chaste, and as fresh as if just finish ed.—A fine Beloutx—Mountainous Landscape and Cattle. The Young Gambler, by Ls Natau, so well known from the print.— Sportsman at tkc does an Inn, by PAUL Porree.—A Sea Cahn, W. V •Nuzvaana.— A EMT P r ieW, with a Amiga beat, by Curr:-4 Horse Fair, by WoeveusAns.-4 Landscape sigh a Mill, Itur games.. A Female, lismeaentre.—St. Martin dividing kis Cloak Resins.— There are also very fine Portraits by the first Masters, among whom our own liarrnorms is not the least. The splendid one of the Duke of °amass% which narrowly escaped being burnt two years ago at the fire at Carlton Palace, being in the very room—Lords Rooney, Newest, kc.—the late Duke of Yeas, by Revnotes—Portraits of Reams J. Rimrosos, and VAN/nett" by themselves --Vzsrem Lady dune, and the Countess of Maar, by Vannycza—and variety of others, most of them pictures of the first Class. LYING IN CHARITY. Wednesday, the supporters of this valuable institu tion dined at the City of London Tavern, Mr. Alderman Tnostrson, M.P. in the Chair. After the usual toasts we: e drank. The CIIAIRMAN addressed the Meeting, and pointed out, in a stung light, the merits of this Charity, which, within the last seventy years, had, out of its funds,' conttibuted to the expenses of the lyings-in of 271,000 women. Doting the last year it had contributed to the expenses of the large number of 4,445. The excellent principles of the Institution need not be dwelt upon, considered as connected with humanity, or with our national policy. In either point of view they were well deserving of the continued suprrt of the public. The amount of the subscriptions for the year was read; amongst them was that of his Majesty, for SW. " The City of London, and prosperity to its Commerce," three times three. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON proposed the health of Mr. Blades, one of the Vice-Presidents. In returning thanks, the worthy Gentleman reminded the Meeting of the sacrifice made by the Alderman, in appearing amongst them this day. He was at present employed uoon his canvass, and he trusted that his conduct would not be forgotten, upon a future occasion, by the Meeting. Mr. WALL, in proposing the health of Mr. Alderm rn Thompson, would beg to connect it with the toast which had been given, " Tne Prosperity of London." The'Livery of Loadon could no:, in his opinion, confer a greater service upon the City than in returning his friend to Parliament. He trusted that he would succeed in the contest in which he was about to engage, and when the struggle did come, that its result would be ♦ictory to him, and triumph to his friends. . _ Mr.•Aldet man THOMPSIN returned his most cordial acknowledgments for the honour which had been done him. If he should be the fortunate object of their choice, upon the next election, he would apply his attention to those branches of trade and commerce, the considera tion of which woulJ he most beneficial to the country. The Processional Gentlemen exerted their abilities with gr e at vita ; acd after an evening of conviviality the Meeting adjourned. LAW REPORT. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Warn/us:Ka, MAT t 6. This being the first day of Trinity Term, the Judges took their seats ai usual. The return of the state of the convicts on board the hulks was presented, pursuant to Act of Parliament, and read by the Officer. Te report described all to be in order and discipline. DUSINESB OP THE COURT. The Lora) CHIEF Jostlca said it might be conve nient to the Bai to know that it was the intention of the Court, during the present term, to take the rremptory paper on Mondays,llie special paper on Tuesdays and Eidays, and motions for new trials on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. On the application of Mr. lisoosarcs, two young Gentlemen of the name of Jocelyn, and another of the name of Fitch, were brought into Court in custody of the keeper of Chelmsford gaol. They had been committed on a charge of Manslaughter, and were admitted to bail, on entering into four sureties of 0100 each. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, May 26. This being the first day of Trinity Term, their Lordships did not come down to Court until one &dock. TUCKICR V WRIGHT. Mr. Serjeant TA DDY SAid til4t, in this case, he b.icl to move their Lordships i:n behalf of the defendant, for a role to shew cause why he should not bring into Court two pieces of scarlet cloth—(a laugh)—wbich were the subject of an a• tion of troves. The plaintiff's wife gave the defendant some chairs to cover, and for that purpose she put him in possession of the two pieces of cloth iu question. S .me of the chairs, when finished, were sent home; but the defendant having an account to the amount of 1501. against the plaintiff, not only kept what remained of the cloth—namely, one piece, and a good part of the other. but entered the plaintiff's house and brought back the chair:; for this an action of trespass was brought against the defendant, and a verdict was obtained against him, with 2001. damages. The defend ant detained the cloth, thinking he had a lien on it, in satisfaction of what was due to him from the plaintiff. What the defendant now wished the Court to allow him to do was, to bring what remained of the cloth into Court, and to pay a sum of money to the amount of cloth used, as also to pay the costs. Tie Canoe Jevrics.—Has the Court any warehouse for the re ception °lauds goods?—(A laugh). Mr. Serjeant TARDY thought the Court had, by put ting them into the custody of proper persons ; besides, he had cases to shew that similar applications had been, on former occasions, granted by the Court. There was the case of Pickering v. Trust, in the 7th Term Reports, where such an application was granted. The Learned Counsel then cited other cases, where the Court had al lowed two fowls to be brought into Court—(A laugh). Than was even a case where the Court ed a tea• ther-bed to be brought into Court—(Much laughter). The Court gritted a rule to spew cause. FATAL ACCIDENT AT MR. MAUD SLAY'S FACTORY. CORONIRS' JNQUISTS. Yesterday, a highly respectable Jury assembled at the Farm House Public-hetue, Burdett -street, Lambeth, on the body of William Glnver,who was unfortunately killed on Wednesday, while cleaning knives, in consequence of the adjoining factory falling, belonging to Mr. Maud -lay, the cog neer, oppos;tl the Asylum : L unbetb. The Coroner, RICHARD CARTRR, Esq. having sworn in the Jury, they procreded to view the body of the deceased, which was lying in a back room of Mr. Field's. The body presented an appalling appearance. Having taken a view of th.! body, they went into the Factory, and minutely examined the premises. Isaac Sampson deposed, that he knew the deceased personally, who was footman to Mr. Field. About halt past 11 o'clock onWednesday morning, wit Hess heal d a rumbling noise, when lie was sitting in the back parlour, writing, in Oakley -street, Lambeth. He thought the noise must have proceeded from an earthquake, it was so lou 1. He jumped op and ran into the street. when he was told that Mr. Maudslay's facto' y had fallen. He then ran to the corner cf Burde:t-street, when he saw several m n carried out on shutters. He was so shocked at the sight that he was ret.rning home, but in passing Mr. Field's door, some person in the Louse requested him to assist in removing a poor man (the deceased) from under the ruins of the wash house, which had been struck down by the factory falling. Witness, with seve ral others, assisted to search for the deceased. It was 49 minutes before they found him. They first beheld his hands under the ruins, but were some time before they could take away the rubbish which was upon the b.dy. The deceased was quite dead. He was severely wounded on the head, and his leg appeared to be frac tured. His body too was much mutilated. They re moved the deceased into Mr. Field's back kitchen. Mr. Foster, the surgeon, presently arrived, and desired the deceased to be covered with a sheet, for he was dead, and had been some time. The weight of bricks and iron upon the deceased must have been three tons. Henry Williams, a porter, residing at No.ll, Oakley Street, assisted in removing the ruins from the deceased, who was found lying on his face, and seemed as th , ugh he had been knocked down by a piece of timber, which was on his head. Mary Ann Cade, a servant of Mr. Field's, and who was attached to the deceased, was next examined. She was much affected on entering the room, and was in dulged with a seat. Sie said, about ten minutes before the accident happened, she was talking with the deceased in the back kitchen; some of the family, she under stood, saw him go into the wash-house; she was up stairs when the roof of the building fell in. Mrs. New ton, a relation of witness's mistress, saw the deceased enter the wash-house, and she told witness, on the latter coming down stairs, that she was afraid poor William was killed. When the men were searching for the de ceased, she saw fps arm extended out of the ruins:, and fainted away. She was carried out of the wash-house, and knew not what happened for some time. She did n••t hear any cracking before the tremendous crash, which laid the place in ruins. Mr. Fall, one of the Jury men, said, that the proximate cause of the deceased's death was pet fectly obvious from the evidence already produced ; but as to the real cause, viz. the condition of the building, with its materials, no thing had been offered, and he was exceed . ttgly anxious to have some of the workmen examined on this head. One of the Jurors thought that there was no necessity to go fur• ther into the investigation. _ _ Mr. Fall diffeied most materially with him, and said, that if it could be shown that any negligence or c ire lessness had been manifested in the erection of the build ing, which he was inclined to believe was the case, horn the inspection of the premises lie to3k this morning, then it might be the duty of the Jury to levy a deodand on Mr. Maudslay ; and in that case, of course the sur veyor of the district would be liable to a penalty. The CoaoNaa observed that be was willing to hear whatever any gentleman might urge, but he very much doubted whether any evidence affecting the conduct of the surveyor could be heard. It was agreed, after a sort discussion, to call the foreman and ocher witnesses belonging to Mr. Maudsla y. Thom is Hall en imined—l am employed in Mr. Maudslay's works as foreman of the carpenters and model-makers. Mr. Maudslay always superintended his own work. 1 was employed in the erection of this building. The roof was not finished at the time it fell. Mi. Maudslay used to consult me on the building; I knew perfe._tly well the four walls that stn round the building in question; the wall next Burdett-street was originally 14 inches in thickness; it has been standing about ten years; some part of it has been taken down; it w.is about 12 feet high; an addition of nine inches was put to it. 1 proposed at the time to have the wall taken down, but the master bricklayer, who is unfor tunately hurt, suggested that the additional wall of nine inches would make it as strong as a new one. This took place about a year ago. Mr. Trott is the master builder. Ttie wall of nine inches was tied into the other with brick and cement. The footing was two feet. The wall was partly taken down when it was heightened. The wall, when erected, was 151 feet in length, and 21 feet in height. .That part of the wall which went 15 feet high, and which was next to Mr. Field's premises, was two bricks thick. Ours was a first•rate building. For about ninety feet along the call, there was a nine-inch wall bonded into the long wall with three tier of wooden bonds.— This bonding was to strengthen it. The breaks in the wall were about twelve feet high. We considered that the wall was perfectly secure. Something happened to the middle of the roof, which caused the rafters to shove away the walls. The weight of the roof was 50 tons, le cwt. An iron roof is very little more in weight than a wooden one. It may be thought an erroneous opinion, but if any person will make a calculation he will find this to betbe fact. A wood roof for the space of the workshop woold not have weighed less than 55 tons. We bad tour or five pair of rafters, one of which was broken. They weighed about eleven trundled weight each. In a conversation with the Gentleman who received the order, I heard Mr. Maudsl4y desire that it should be strong. In making the patterns we al lowed something for the expansion of iron. In the present case I allowed one inch in the span, for placing the iron, which I conceived would have been sufficient. I account tor the accident solely to the bad state of the lion. Since the accident I hive eitaniined the broken fragments of the materials. The roof gave way at the columns where the bolts are inserted. The iron was not of proper quality. lam decidedly of opinion that if we had cast the iron at our works it would not have given way. If the wall had first given way, the iron work at the angles of the columns would have had greater weight upon it, and, in that case, the roof would have fallen in. But Ido not believe that the walls did, give way until they were forced out by the lion break. ing. There was no neglect or inattention on the part of Mr. Maudslayonor in those employed by him in the construction of the building. A few minutes before the accident I was at the top of the building. Mr. Ilidnorh, a builder, h lying inspected the pre mises at the wish of the Jury, he stated that the gable e:Icl of the building, which connects Nlr. Field's pre n‘ises, was net sufficiently strong for so heavy a roof. The wall at the gable was two bricks thick, but thrre being windows and a door, he was inclined to think that it ought to have been thicker. T: e rest of the walls, he conceived, were as thick as the Btuliing Act iequired. Mr. Wright, a builder, confirmed his testimony, having inspected the premises with him. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the Jury, after an hour's deliberation, returned the following verdict :—" Accidental death, occaoiorked by a part of the materials composing the factory of Henry Maudslay falling on the deceased William Glover. For the evidence produced, the Inquest feel it their imperative duty to observe, that, in the erection of the building, the fall of which occa sioned the death of the said William Glover, due caution had not been used." Two Inquests were also held yesterd.ry evening at Sr. Thomas's Hospital, on Edmund Lee and Samuel Booth, whose deaths were occasioned by the above ac cident in Westminster-road. Several witnesses were ex mined, whose evidence agreed that the accident was occasioned by the imperfections in the material of the roof, and not from the misconstruction of the walls. The first named was a labourer, and employed on the ground floor, filling sacks with shavings for the use of the men employed on the rot); and the hitter engaged A* a smith, chipping the iron of the roof, when it fell in. Mr. Thomas H. Fowke and Mr. Joseph Ricks, dressers to the Hospital, considered the death of both were occa sioned by the injuries they had received. Verdict in both cases—Accidental Death. Deodand One Shilling. An inquest was yesterday taken at the Cumberland's Head, City road, on the body of a new-born infant, which was found, on the preceding day, in a privy at the rear of the house of Mrs. Grin, No. 10, Jane-street. Mr. Roby, a Surgeon, gave it as his opinion, that the child was born alive, and had died by suffocation in the soil. Verdict—Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. RPSONI RACES. VOUILT*I •ND LAST DAT. Notwithstanding the unpropitious state of the weather yester day, the roads to Epsom were crowded at an early hour by equi pages of all descriptions ; and the assemblage of rank and fashion on the Downs was fully equal to any thing we have before wit nessed on the Oaks day. Hill was completely covered, arid the sides of the Course were lined three deep with carriages from the winning to the distance post. Among other distinguished visi tors we noticed his Royal Highness the Duke of York, the Duke of Gloucester, his Grace the Duke of Richmond, Lord Egremont, Lord Verulam, Lord Jersey, Lord Berkeley, Lord Sefton, Zicc. THE OAKS STAKES. The race fer these &akes constituted the principal attraction of the day; but, as was the case in the race for the Derby, an outside horse again won, and thus dkappoieted all the calculations of the knowing ones. The Duke of Grafton's ch. f. Problem was the favourite, and after •arious fluctuations, was ultimately backed even against the Field. The race was decided as follows : Air. Forth's b. f. by Interpreter, out of Dandizette's dam Duke of Grafton's ch. f. Problem, by ;Merlin, out of Pawn 2 The following also ran, but were not placed Duke of Grafton's b. f.

Mr. S.:tiler's b. 1. Ruben, out of Little Fully. Nlr. Russell's b. E Louisa, by Orville, out of Quadrille. The odds at starting were 16 to 1 agst the winner; S to 1 apt Tears; 8 to 1 agst Peraplule ; 12 to 1 apt Mignionette. Problem made all the running to Tottenham Corner, when Mr. Forth's came out, and a sharp contest took place to the distance post. Mr. Forth's then took the lead, and won cleverly by a length.— Mignionette was third, although not placed by the Clerk of the Course. Upon the decision of the race, the faces, which had been sufficiently lengthened by the proceedings of the day before, were rendered still longer, and all looked astonished at their want of discrimination. Problem, however, seemed to have justified the favour in which she had been held. The Woodcot Park Stakes, of 10 soy.. each, with 10 added from the Race Fund, fur three-yrs•old and upwards.

A purse of 81. was collected, for which Pick, the Bristol Youth, and Turner, the fighting Butcher contended. It was a manly, although not a very scientific battle, and was decided in favour of the Bristol Youth, against whom the odds were two to one. The ring was broken, and great confusion prevailed, so that It would be impossible to enter into details. The Bristol Youth, however, proved himself an " out ord-out" fighter, and completely set aside the confidence of his, fes4 opponent, who was carried of the ground senseless. It is expected that the settling day fur the Derby ( Tuesday next) will be one of the most boisterous ever witnessed. Several persons have declared openly that they will not pay their bets on the General. They say they have been completely out-generallcd, and will not submit without a determined skirmish. According to the rules of the Turf, we cannot see how they are to escape their fate. POLICE INTELLIGENCE• GUILDHALL. A Mr. Walker appeared upon summons, at the instance of the Parish O ffi cers of Haddenham, in Buckinghamshire, to show cause why be refused to reimburse them certain moneys which they had granted in relief to a distressed son of his, who had become burden. some to their parish. He was summoned under the statute of Eli zabeth, by which pe?sons are bound to prevent their relatives, within certain degrees of consanguinity, from remaining burdensome to any parish—provided they are able to maintain them, and provided also, that the party to be relieved is " poor, old, blind, lame, impo tent, or not able to work." It appeared, however, that Mr. Walker's son is not more than twenty-three years of age; that he has siguandered a great deal of property, supplied to him by his father; that he has married most improvidently, contrary to the urgent remonstrances of his father ; that he is in good health, aid that the Parish Officers of Haddenhans have never set him to work, as they do other paupers, though they have been allowing him eight shillings per week for more than three months past ; and under these circumstances the Aldermen dismissed their complaint. Mr. Charles Loud, a" stout Gentleman," with a very loud yoke, who described himself to be " a mu dealer and mercantile man, from Coleshill, in Wanoickskire," was brought before Sir Jona Palmist:, charged with having driven away with a horse and gig, the property of Mr. John Glover, so innkeeper in Warwick. Mr. Glover was not in attendance, but it appeared by the cvi deuce of a Mr. Horsey, that a solicitor in Warwick hired the horse and gig from Glover, for the use of the stout Gentleman, Mr. Loud. Tbe solicitor understood that his friend, the stout Gentleman, intended to go to Colesbill only, about sixteen miles porn Warwick, and knowing that the stout Gentleman was rather eccentric in his habits, be sent a man with him to take care of the gorse and gig, and return with them to Warwick. Accordingly, the stout Gentleman and his superintendent set out together—the stout Gentleman driving; but, when they got into the main London road, near Stone-bridge, the stout Gentleman prevailed upon his superintendent to alight, In order to ease the load up bill; and the superintendent had no sooner alighted than the stout Gentleman bid film good morning, and drove of at full speed towards London.— The forlorn superintendent sent many unkind wishes after him, and then walked back to Warwick, to relate what had happened to his master, the solicitor, who forthwith wrote to his friend, Mr. Honey, in London, and in consequence of his exertions, the horse and gig were found at Gerard's Hall lon, Basinclane, where the stout Gentleman had left them, with orders that they should be well taken care of. Mr. Hursey, owever, obtained possession of them, by indemnifying the proprietor of the Inn ; and he now charged the stout Gentleman with hiving stolen them. The stout Gentleman in his defence said, " My name is Clink' Loud, corn dealer and mercantile man, from Coieshill, in the count of Warwick--or Warwickshire, whichever you please to call it ; and I'm ready to answer for whatever I do—here, there, or anywhere as is very well known to everybody. I got the horse and chaise from the lawyer at Warwick, because the lawyer at Wart wick owed me money, which I couldn't get from him b kook, and so I determined to get it by crook; for I know enough of the law to know that I can't arrest a lawyer—the more's, the pity I say. I made up my mind to come off with the horse and chaise{ and I said to the fellow, the lawyer sent with me, says If you don't get out of the chaise, I'll chuck you out, neck and crop !' but he wouldn't—he only laughed at me ! So when we got to s bit of a bill t'other side Stone-bridge, I groonson'd him to get out, by way of easing the honie up the hill you see, and away I came—jnd that's all about it; hut as for that chap thtre— Mr. What's-his.name (Mr. Horsey), as talks of charging me with horse-stealing, I'll pull him up fur it, as sure as my name's Charles Loud." Sir dons PERRINO now called Mr. Ilursey to him, and after some private conversation between them, the stout gentleman was discharged ; and he went away vowing vengeance against " all lawyers and their abettors." MARLBOROUGU-STRRET. One George Nelson, a man of nototiously bad character, was brought kefore Sir G. PASSAU/ yesterday, charged with having stolen a box-coat from the hind seat of a phaeton, belonging to Thomas Harman, Esq. on Wednesday night. The prisoner was seen by a footman to the Solicitor-General, and another person, taking the coat. They immediately stopped him ; but he threw the coat down, and made a desperate resistance; and it was not till he had inflicted sundry bruises upon the constables, and given the Solicitor• General's footman a terrible black eye, that be was taken into custody. He was immediately taken before Sir George Farrant, who committed him for re-examination yester day. In the mean time his lodgings in Newport -street were searched, and filly-six duplicates of gold and silver watches, gold seals and rings, &c. were found. From information the officers re ceived, they went to the lodgings of the prisoner's brother, in Rupert -street, and there found three or four deal boxes (one of which cont.,ined models of horses' feet, broken to pieces) and three leather portmanteaus, with the locks broken eff. No owners having been found for any of these articles, the pri soner was committed to the House of Correction for the present; and Sarah Green, a woman with whom be cohabited, was put to the bar. This woman, when she learned that her paramour was in custody, removed the trunks, &c. from their own lodgings to th ose of the prisoner's brother, where they were found. A great many questions were put to her by Sir Giotto' FA muter, with a view of eliciting from her how the prisoner Nelson became possessed of the property, but she obstinately evaded answering such questions.—She was remanded for further examination on Friday next. _ _ A number of pawnbrokers were in attendance to identify tbe prisoner, if possible, but they were not examined. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—The following painful event occurred at. the village of Pudsey, near Leeds, on Tuesday evening last. Mr. Joseph Blackburn, a re spectable cloth manufacturer, had been in Leeds Market, and walked home late in the afternoon, and proceeded to the house of Mr. Thomas Carlisle, at Pudsey, to whose daughter, a lady possessing great personal at tractions, and very highly accomplished, Mr. Black burn had for some time been paying his addresses. The family had retired to rest ; but being anxious to communicate with Miss C. he got upon the ledge of one of the lower windows under her apartment, and succeeded in inducing her to speak to him. The young Lady, however, became so alarmed, lest her parents should be disturbed, particularly as her father was in disposed to sanction Mr. B:s emotion, that she en treated him to leave the window, as, if he was discover ed, her father would kill him; but he delayed obeying the injunction, and Miss C. became so agitated, that she wept aloud, and startled her sister, who slept in the same room with her. The latter, not receiving a satis factory explanation of the noise, flew to her father's chamber, and called out, that the house was attacked by robbers. The old man seized a sword, and rushirg towards the lower window, against which the moon threw a distinct shadow of Mr. B:s person, darted the weapon through one of the panes of glass, and into the abdomen of the unfortunate Gentleman. The wound, from the first, endangered Mr. Blackburn's life; he was able, however, to walk to his brother's house, distance of 500 yards, though bleeding profusely. When he got to the house, he exclaimed, •" Let me in, I am a murdered man." His tr•:us-r, stockings, and shoes, were then found soaked with Ll rod, and he himself almost completely exhausted. A surgeon was sent for, who dressed the wound. Meanwhile, the constables sent an express to the Rein rend J. A. Rhodes, for instructions, and he instantly proceeded to the spot, when he found Ar. Carlisle in custody.— The depositions of Miss Carlisle, her sister, and brother, were taken, and the old man was heard in explanation of his conduct. Mr. C. afterwards went to see Mr. Blackburn, and expressed the deepest regret for what had taken place. Late next night he remained in cus tody, and at that time the inflammation arising from Mr. Blackburn's wound was rapidly increa,ing, and threatening a fatal termination to the unfortunate sufferer. Mr. Blackburn is upwards of six feet in height, and in person anclappearance one of the finest men in that part of Yorkshire. Miss Carlisle, about 18 months back, kept, in partnership with Miss Laird, a boarding school in that town, and has been always highly re spected. BIRTHS. Wednesday, in Baker -street, Lady Radstoek, of a daughter. Thursday, in Blesunsbury-squarE, Mrs. Wingfield, of a daughter. DIED. At Cheshunt, at the house of her Thomas Todd Walton, Esq. Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Todd, Es q. of Lanchester, in the county of Durham, and late of the General Post Office.
