TILE LATE DUCHESS OF YORE. It is finally determined that the remains of the Duchess of •YonK are.to lie in state on Sunday and on the morning of Monday next, at Oatlands. The place of interment is to be a vault, nearly under. the Church at. Weybt idge; the entrance to which is on the outside of the Church ; the vault was built by the late Ducnmss, under her own direction and su perintendence. The reason assigned for this is,. that a Lady to whom she Was most affectionately attached was buried there, and her Royal •Highness's parti cular and special desire was, that her remains might lie near her's. The Lady's name was BUN.BURY. The Royal remains were put into a wooden coffin on S inday night, and last night into a leaden cof f in by ‘..sicssrs, IIAyLEy and SAUNDERS, the Royal Under takers. Oa Monday afternoon the funeral is to take uate; it is to be as private as possible. The DUKE to attend as Chief Mourner; his Royal Highness is to be fol!osvcd by the Dukes of CLAILENCS, SUSSEX, and CAMBRIDGE, and Prince LEOFOLD ; the Earl of LAUDERDALE, as one of the Executors, withPnnce LEopoLD, to her Roy'al Highness's swill; Lady Cur.- str"; &mu!, to whom her Royal Highness was par ticularly attached, and her ).,adyship's daughter, the principal attendants, and some of the household be-, longing to her late Royal Highness. Several pet sons of distinction, End the neighbour ing Nobility anal, Gentry; haVe offered to send their carriages to follow in the procession of the late Duchess of YORK, to Weybridge Church; but it has been declined, as the funeral is to be private, and none bat the Duke and Duchess's carriages are to follow. THEATRES. HAYNI A nxer.—Mrs. MA RDYN appeared on night in the character of Sir Harry Wildair, in FARQUHAR'S revived Comedy of The Constant Couple. A crowded audience - gave her a warm and hearty reception; which, added to the novelty of her situation, so completely overpowered her feelings, that it - was some time before she was able to proceed, after making several fruitless attempts. Having re covered her self-command, she went through the multifarious duties of the part she had to sustain with great applause. The Piece itself, which is a satirical exposition of the vices and follies of fop pery and fine breeding, is productive of much hu mourous dialogue, and many laughable incidents, and gives full scope for a display of the versatile comic talents of this Lady. Her performance of the part was free and unaffected. The remaining .parti in the Piece were,very effectively filled by their respective representatives, and we have no doubt *the revival of this Comedy will meet with very general approbation. ENGLISH OPLRA iiOI:ISE.—A new Dramatic Ro- InAnce, called The Vampire; or, the Brides/ the Isles, *was brought out on Wednesday night at this Theatre. It is one of those numerous productions which, uniting dialogue and music with scenery of more than ordinary splendour, aided likewise by some ad z:al:tam of - the pantomimic, pass, in the theatrical nomenclature, under the title of imelo-drames.— Its name will readily suggest that it is built on a well-known superstition, which is said to be yet prevalent in sonte.parts of the Turbid' dominions. It is nothing 'more than a free trans fatless from the French, and the original has met with urpre eedteted success amongst oor•aeighbours. The l'anqire, in the • .novr piece, is a chieftain who, we may guess, probably lived in the time of Fingal, for his spirit apßears I to reside near that 'hero's tomb, and the number of his resurrections is undefined. 'Having acquired the epithet of " the blooily 4 ' during his natural life. bt afterwards , assusned other characters, and continued to renew his existence, and avoid the dreadful gulf of annihilation, by winning, in a given time, some virgin for his prey, from whose veins be uniformly extracted the life-blood. In the per son of Lad Marsden be gains the friendship of Lady Margines fattier. Lord Ronald 1 the /s/a., is killed in his defence, and whilst Lord Ronald is preparing to receive his brother as a fit substitute on whom his daughter might bestow her band, re-, appears, and affects to have been but slightly wounded. He than commences his.mysterious operations, which he is under tSe necessity of expediting, because, unless he be married before the moon is set, his charter will have expired. .Notwithstand ins this necessity, however, he entangles himself in a fresh diffi culty, is again killed, and. by the aid of potent spells, again re vives, and within the time appointed for claiming his bride or • determining his destiny. The eyes of lard Ronald are at length opened : he proclaims his intended son-in-law to be a demon incarnate by his violence, rather than his reasoning, he causes the nuptials to be postponed till the moon has vanished, and the Vampire then drops into final extinction. Such is the plot, or K el l er the subject-matter, of the Piece. The decorations are suitable, if not magnificent; and the incidental music consists of a selection of favourite Scotch airs. One of the duets was executed with infinite sweetness and taste by Miss CAR*VP and Mr. Pleassaw. The performers engaged exerted themselves with considerable effect, and the whole drama met with a most encouraging reception. The House was well attended. The Vanzpire was repeated last night to a full and fashionable audience v. ith complete success., Leamington Spa was never so well attended as it is at present, and there is a great increase of new buildings. In the Paragon Picture Gallery and News-room, the visitors have one of the most superb provincial establishments of this kind in the king dom. It is decorated with upwards of 200 elegant historical and fancy paintings. Wednesday morning a duel was fought on Putney Heath, between Captain H—w—e and Mr. in consequence of a dispute about a race. They fired twice, and in the second' fire the Captain was slightly wounded in the shoulder; the affair then terminated. Thursday sinnight, a meeting took place in the County of Leitrim, between F..G—N, of Bessville, Esq. and J. W--R, of Castle Nugent, County of Longford, Esq. the former attended by W. M--a—a, 1:16q. and the latter by R —x, Esq. The par-1 ties having been pat under arrest it, the County ofl Longford, proceeded to the above place, where, after ' , an exchange of shots, the affair was amicably ad justed through the interference of the seconds. Saturday morning a melancholy misfortune oc curred at Bangor, North Wales. A ferry-boat from Anglesea, containing twenty-two persons, with their commodities for the market, upset a little above the town, towards Bangor, and all perished, except one man, who escaped by clinging to the side of the boat., Drpera, or difficult breathing ; and Dyspeigia,l or difficult digestion, are effectually counteracted by Tvlownipaa Bark and Camphor, sold, by appoint- ment, in bottles, at Is. 9d. with directions, at &map- LiNo's Medicine Warehouse, Royal Exchange, Lon don. By this judicious combination, those estimable articles of the Materia Medica, acting with more energy, strengthen the whole viscera, and prove effectual in Consumptions, and Nervous and bodily . • THE RWY. . • •••• IMMI•11 Yesterday, a detachment of the 19th Lancers._ lately quartered at Paddington, Itampstiad, and Kentish Town, marched into Northampton, where they will take up their quarteys for .sorne time.. 'Pie Iremainder of the Regiment are gone to Nottingha which is to be Head-quarters. Monday, the 12th Royal Lancer, ched for Ireland, from their quarters at limn Hamp ton Court, much to the regret of • itants of that neighbourhood, where they had quartered upwards of twelve months. Monday, eight troops of the .7th Hussars,. under the command of Colonel Ttionstint,c, were reviewed ,in the Green of Glasgow, by Major-General REYSEL, —They acquitted themselves in a very masterly manner, and the General was pleased to compliment them in the warmest terms on their appearance and state of discipline. Two - privates werithrown during the charge, but fortunately without sustaining mate rial injury. Thursday se'nnight, the Forfar and Kincardine shires Militia, commanded by the Hon. A. DOUGLAS, completed their rriod of training and exercise at Montrose. The muster was good, considering the state of the ballot, and the progress made by the men, of whom neatly three-fourths had on this occa sion joined th‘ Regiment for the first time, •in the manual and in various evolutions, does great credit both to them and their Officers, while, at the' same time, their behaviour in quarters was most orderly. Friday, the Royal Regiment of Lanark Militia was inspected at Hamilton, by Major-General REYNELL, previous to their being dismissed after twenty-eight days' training. The General was pleased to express his high approbation of the appearance of the Regi ment, which went through its evolutibns with a de gree of precision which could hardly be expected from a Corps so recently called out. Saturday the Kirkcudbright Yeomanry were re viewed by the Hon. jonn Goanow, of Kenmore, who complimented their Colonel upon the high discipline of his men, as well as the excellent conditron of their horses. The gentlemanly and soldierlike conduct of this fine Corps when in quarters, has always been such as to command the respect and esteem of the. inhabitants of Kirkcudbright. The new Barracks for the 2d Regiment of Life Guards, now erecting in the Regent's Park, are in a great state -of forwardness, although not quite six weeks since theywere begun. The three stables are nearly covered in : each stable is 170 feet in length, and 58 wide, and contains 100 stalls each; the apart menu over each stable are to contain 120 beds; the Officers E range of apartments are 210 feet in length ; the extent of the riding-house is 160 feet by 50: the whole is to be enclosed by a wall 12 feet high,. and the interior to be all paved with new Scotch stone.— The whole is to be completely finished, so as to be habitable, by the 21st of June next. Wednesday, all the men in the employment of the East India Company, under thirty-five years of age, had a muster in their different yards, when a selec tion was made from them for the new Battalion, autho- rized to be raised by Act of Parliament. Yesterday, another was made, of those under forty years of age; so that the whole effective strength, 600 men, will be chosen from the above two classes. By the above regulation scarcely a single man who was in the for mer three Regiments will be eligible to serve in'the present Corps. Colonel of the Dragoons, at a Review lost his hat, which was carried Off by a sudden put! of wind. A private picked it up on his sword's point,' which chanced to pierce it. The Colonel, who is distinguished for his bravery, observing the punc ture, exclaimed, 81 D—u it, man ! I would sooner you had made a hole in my arm r-. Why so, Colonel r—" Because I am in credit with my sur , geon, but not with my hatter r Tuesday afternoon a communication was made from the Secretary of State's Office to the Police Magistrates, requesting that none of them should be absent from town on the 17th inst. A violent storm commenced at nine o'clock on Sunday morning, at Greenock, Port-Glasgow, and the neighbourhood, and continued for an hour. Heavier rain was never witnessed in that district. The lightning struck Mr. Gemmill's house and rent one of the gables, but no lives were lost. In a farm house farther up the hill a man was struck down, but afterwards recovered, and three cows were killed in stantaneously. The thunder was tremendous. Wednesday, five men, who were employed in cut ting down a high sandy bank near Daltonkie-Dale, to improve the road between Sunderland and Castle, Eden, were buried by the sudden fall of a large quan tity of earth upon them. Two of them were dug out without much injury; the other three were on fOrtunately suffocated. Thursday se'nnight, on his return from the Ilk at ICirrymuir, Charles Black, farrier in Brechin,. fell from his horse; but his foot being entangled in the stirrup, he was dragged for a considerable way, and so shockingly bruised, that, though soon after "Laken up, and conveyed to Brechin, where medical aid was immediately procured, he expired the following day. Sunday evening last, as Mr.WlLsou of Nelson-ter race, City-road, was returning home, :tbout half-past nine o'clock, he was attacked by one or two ruffians, within a few yards of his own door, who knocked him down, and robbed him of his gold watch, chain, and seals, and ransacked his pockets of their con tents, consisting of cash to a - small amount, his spec ticles; silver pencil-case, gold brooch, and a valuable snuff--box, with which they made their escape, leaving him stunned and insensible on the spot. DUBLIN, Amon. 7.—About nine e'clockon Sa turday night, five or sir carries were stopped near Rathesol, by twelve or fourteen armed men, *who proceeded to pillage the property on the cars, after having shot one man, and wounded another of •the carriers—th* Waterford, and two other mail coanhes arrived at the time, but deemed it best, for the sectrE rity of the mails, to abandon the scene of action, which they accordingly dii. Thursday, a man of the name of Dempsey, was hanged at Maryborough, for the robbery of Sir CHARLES Coora's gatekeeper. He fully acknow ledged the justice of his sentence, and died a com-. plete penitent. • A letter from Montrath, states, that on Si night, JAMES SMITH, }sq. apprehended three of the persons implicateil in the outrage for which Dempsey suffered. • : LAW INTELLIGENCE. • - COURT OF eiIitNCERY; AUGUST. °.

SW THE-MATTER OF HUGH DUCKWORTH, A BANKRUPT. Mr. WETHERELL stated this to be the petition of Roger Entwisle, of Manchester, Attorney at Law,* the Solicitor employed under this commission, pray ing that an order made on the 7th of April, 1819, by his Honour the Vice Char.cellor,•directing his bills of costs to be taxed, might be rescinded so far as sought the delivery of the bill incurred prior to the, choice of assignees. which, as Mr. Entwisle repre sented, had been lost at -a fire which happened tear to his office; and.which bill he was unable to make out, owing to his not keeping any entry or account thereof in his books. The Learned Counsel contended that all the costs of this application ought to be paid by the Solicitor of the bankrupt, in persisting in the proceedings which had been taken against his client, to commit him to the Fleet Prison, for not delivering a bill which he must have known could not be made out; and concluded by praying his Lordship to grant the prayer of his petition, and to order the Solicitor of the bankrupt to pay all costs incurred by his client. Mr. PARKER commented on the conduct of Mr. Entwisle in representing such facts, to induce the Court not to tax a bill amounting to 4:140, being three times the sum which costs of that description usually amount to, and which statement, as to the loss of the bill by fire, was contradicted by the affida vits of the persons who removed the paperk from his office, who iNVOre that they carefully depOsited all the papers in his office in three small green bags— (Muck laughter)—.and carried them to his mother's house; and that they were positive that no papers whatever were lost; that the Solicitor or the bank rupt were never apprized of the loss of such bill until a petition had been presented for Mr. Entw isle's com mittal to the Fleet Prison for contempt of the Vice Chancellor's order ; and that the greatest forbearance had been shewn to Mr. Entwisle throughout the whole of this_ business. Mr. Parker concluded by declaring himself confident that his Lordship would not grant the relief prayed for. •The Loan CHANCELLOR, in delivering his judg. went, observed, that "In this case the Vicc Chancel. lor made an order which directed that Mr.Entwisle should deliver his bill of fees and charges for busi ness done up to the choice of assignees, and likewise his bill for business done subsequent to the chtfice of assignees. The Vice-Chancellor was bOund.to make this order ; it was an order quite of course in bank ruptcy.. It •appears that Mr. Entwisle did deliver his bill .of charges for business done subsequent to the choice of assignees, but had not delivered a liill for business done up to the choice of assignees; and ,he says he cannot do so, because the bill of fes which he had charged, and some depositions under the commission, have been destroyed by fires • Now, 1 cannot-bring myself to.say that it was the business of the bankrupt's solicitor to discharge Mr. - Entwisle from the effect of this order; because, if he was un able to comply with -the terms of the order, it was his business to come to the Court, and apply to be relireed from she effect- of• such orders- But I g o further, and say that 1 feel impressed with the idea that 'Mr. Entwisle himself did not , think he was en titled to - be relieved from the effect of that Order 4 and I cannot help saying that it does not appear to me to be an improper suspicion on the part of the bankrupt's solicitor, who was bound to act with the greatest caution, and in the best manner he was able for his client, if his mind was impressed with an idea that the statement which had been made, of the bill of fees having ken destroyejd, was not correct. But do not let me be understood as casting any re. 'fiections. upon Mr. Entwisle, Al- of insinuating that• he has not spoken the truth. The reason which Mr Entwisle assigns for not being able to deliver his bill is rather an extraordinary one. He admits that be has made out a bill for business done to the amount of 4.140, but that, having lost the bill of fees, hi cannot now tell what they wete, and therefore is un able to deliver in the bill requireil by the order.-4 Now he must recollect some of the fees which paid : he must know what he paid to the Commis..., stoners; or, if he did not know, he could inquire o f them ; and he must know likewise what he paid fall; the use of the seal. I recollect a case in this Courtl where-a solicitor charged for a private seal when he bad had a public aye. It is the dirty of the Court to see that no such - improper charges are made.-- •Withoos going farther, let .Mr. Entwisle, by affidavit; deliver in to my secretary of bankrupts, to be com municated to me in one month from this day, such -a bill, bp to the choice of assignees, as he will. state by affidavit to- be,' to the best .of his recollection and belief, the bill delivered, as far as it is in bii power to state the items. When this is communi l cated to me, I will .make such farther order on this petition as shall think proper." • This is the Mr. &twit& who *as a witness exathined on - "" of the prosecution against Hunt and others at York.

It was admitted by the witnesws_ for the ptobecu. tion. that the prisoner had gone willingly before the Magistrate, and might have escaped if he had bea so inclined. The prisoner being called open for his defence, protested his innocence.of the robbery, and stalled se veral witnesses to prt ye an alibi, From the evi dence of no less thau eight persons, it appeared that he was at. the Royal Coburg theatre {rem half-pact eight o'clock on Saturday *evening, the 22d of July, until eleven at night ; that he slept that night at the house of a cousin ; that the ne:.t day lie was seen at the George public-house, about three o'clock in the afternoon, selling a watch; that..in the afternoon went en ,;.he Thames in 4 . boat with a water patty ; and that he was a young man of honest character and industrious habits.

OWEN, T. • JOHN ASHLEY AND JOl fl HAMPSON• This was an indictment for an assaul:. The pro secutor, Mr. Owen, Parish Clerk of .Wem, had, on the 17th of April, 1819, been drinking .at the Black Lion, in Wem, in company with the defendants. The proiectitor having 'fallen asleep, Ashley heated the small end of a tobacco-pipe, and placed it to Mr. Owen's r ight ear, while Ham pson pouted some drink 1- in the bowl end; as soon as the drink reached prose. cutor's ear, he started suddenly up, and by so doing, broke the pipe to . pieces. He rusted out of doors', not knowing what he did, went home, and continued in great pain, which kept increasing for about a fort night, till it brought on excruciating agony ; 2n ul. ceratiOn of the ear took place; when the swelling brought into sight a piece of the pipe, Which his sud den_ start at the moment of the injury had forced into his ear. This piece Was extracted by a medical Gen tleman, after which Mr. Owen attended as an out patient at the Salop Infirmary for three mo:iths; his hearing has been much injured, and his head at time; giddy, since the occurrence. The only witness to the fact of the-assault was a little girl, then a parish Apprentice at the Ion; to contradict whose testimony, by proving an alibi, eight - or - Riese witnesses were called ; but it was irui:- less.; and the conduct of two of them, and of the de fendants for bringing them forward, was severely cht'elt upon by the Judge in passing sentence. The defendants were sentenced to be imprisoned twelve months, and afterwards to find security, them selves in £lOO each, and two sureties in Ll`2s each, for their good behaviour for two years, or to be fur ther imprisoned until such security be given. It is hoped this will act as a caution against prac tising what are called " drunken frolics." It was stated on the -trial, that Mr. Owen did not wish to prosecute, apd _that, when lying.irf agony, previous to, the extraction of the pipe, he sent for the defend ants, said he wished fin. no law, and begged them to tell him what they had' done to his ear. They de nial having done any thing ; and it appeared rllat they.had also endeavoured to prevail on the-little girl to conceal the fact. Indeed, the defence seemed to : be a great aggravation of the case in the opinion of the Court. THE KING V. 'WILLIAM BUTLER, MARTIN . MARTIN, AND WILLI4M WILLIAMS. This was an indictment against three colliers, for being-leaders in a bull-bait at Iron-bridge, on the 27th and 28th days of September last, being nide ley-wake. The bull was baited for twelve hours each day in the public road, opposite the Tontine ; the colleries; on each ocOalon, were nearly desertc,i; 'and the road was rendered almost impassable. The defendants pleaded Guilty, and, as they pro mised not to offend again, were discharged up an their own recognizance; of £lOO each, to appear for judgment if Called upOn. The JUDGE said, he was an admirer of the true old English sports, such as wrestling, ecc. by which - the strength of the parties was brought into action, and the national courage nurtured ; but bull-baiting was not a true English sport ; it was a brutal diversion, and ought to be abolished. The Cork Southern Reporter says, " On Sunday night last, as a:countrywoman was returning fram Evergreen, in company with a Mrs. Keefe, she was followed by seven or eight ruffians, who seized on her, violated her person, beat her in the most savage manner, and .would have thrown her into the river at Sullivan's Quay, had not her cries brought the watchman to her assistance, when the savages made off. She was conveyed to the South Infirmary, where she now lies dangerously ill. Sheriff White, accompanied by some peace-officers, after a search of several hours, apprehended two of the party, who were conveyed to the Infirm,' and one of them, named Fitzgerald, was identifi ed by the woman, w!io ai fainted on her first see m him. Fitzgerald was in the act of setting off, hay itis clothes packed ur, when the Sheriff entered ris house. Two more of the ruffians have been since apiprehended." . _ • BIRTH.
