About eleven Welk% the Roads a Chou were assembled to gether, with the Ladies Patronesses, in the last-named apartment, and in waiting to receive the illustrious Personages expected— namely, the Duke and Duchess of Cunene. Their Royal High nesses were received with Highland honours by the Duke of • Awn% and six other Noble Caledonians. among whom was Mr. lifacaoltatm, the Chief of Clanronaid, with the sword of the Pm /01r on his arm, preceded by that gallant veteran, Gen. &MA lILT, the 42d Regiment, who acted as Master of the Ceremonies.— The Duchess was dressed in black, with plumes of frathers and diamonds; the Duke in his official habit, as Lord High Admiral siliagland On ascending the staircase, the two bands above (Row's and Cowart's) struck up God sere She ring."

GTIMIII7II 550 Maane.--The disputed silents of this case are still wandering in the labyrinths of " Fancy Law,'t and appear to wimple through as many intricacies as a suit in Chancery.— Clybletts's party not willing to rely entirely on the " &tic forms of legislature," have called in a " civil practitioner" to their aid, and served a legal notice on the stakeholder, not to give up their share of the money but to themselves.

The mode adopted to extinguish the fire was the employment of about 200 men, with long sticks, beating the heath until their ob ject was accomplished. A breed of black as well as red grouse has been for several years anxiously preserved on these moors, and there it too much reason to suspect that the mischief to the eggs and s sting birds is very consid rable.—Stnjord Advertiser. _ Saturday. a boy the name of Tilollll3 Hetherton, third son of Mr. Hetherton, fstrier, Collin, fell from a tree in Torthorwald Church-yard, neat Dumfries, nn which there are a number of crows' nests.

The Noble Earl sod Igo party added much to the hilarity of the company, and did not re tire to the Castle till it was late. S inlay forenoon an afflicting occurrence took place in the Rev.

The congregation, whose feelings were much (TAW by this viocation, were shortly after dismissed by Mr. Perms. Sr. llama's CIIIMICH.—Libt night the new trans parent clock of the above church was illuminated for the first time, and occasioned a number of persons to assemble in St. Bride's avenue and the opposite side of Fleet-street. It is six feet in diameter, and the figures are painted on ground glass, behind which is placed some white silk, in order to deaden the light. There are three gas burners, which are so constructed as to extinguish themselves at any period required. The Churchwardens originally intended it should be on the same principle as the one at St. Giles's Church, the machinery of which, both illUminates and extinguishes the lights; but this plan, after repeated trials, was abandoned. The whole has a very beautiful effect. Tue WAKITISLDII.—These persons, who on Mon day received their sentence in the Court of King's Bench, for conspiracy, are still together in Nev. gate.

THe WHITICHAPaL ALUM—As yet no account has been received further than that btnught by Mr. Miller, of Skeels, the perpetrator of this sanguinary act, being seen at Mame ' in Oxfordshire. The next intel ligence received was from Allen, one of the beadles of St. George's in the East, who, being in Bri-tol, whither he went with some paupers, and hearing of the murder. proceeded on bOard two vessels that were about to sail for Radnor, the native place of the prisoner, and ex amined them minutely ; the result was unsuccessful, and he was not to be fortd. It will be recollected, that aboist January last two youths, named George Romeo's and James Bishop. who had been convicted at the 011 Valley Sessions of _ _ robbing Mr. Fuctan, a surgeon, on the highway at Bethnal-green, were ordered for execution. A doubt was raised as to their identity, and extraordinary exer tions were made on their behalf, which ultimately kd to their lives being saved, and they were ordered to be transported for life. Very soon after their arrival at the convict ship at Gosport, Bishop found means to effect his escape, and had not been heard of until Mei. day last, when he presented himself at the gate of Nevrgate, and, to the astonishment of the turnkeys, re quested admission, for die purpose of nurtendering himself ; stating, with tears in his ep s, that he was in nocent of the charge of which he had been convicted. but that he could no longer continue to live in the watched state of concealment in which he had b en for months past, and that he preferred at once deliver. ing himself up to the hands of justice. . ' Monday evening, Mr. GA Mtn, jeweller, of Nassau. street, Middlesex Hospital. while standing in the pit of Astley's Theatre, was robbed of a pocket-book, con taining a 201. note, and various memoranda. Tuesday, as T. KEN/MAR. E,q. of Miller's fi tel, Jer. myo-stiest, was walking down Bond -street, he was followed by two lads, one of whom extracted from his pocket a silk pocket. handkerchief and a purse, containing three sovereigns and some silver; the latter he threw on the ground, and the ether lad picked it up and ran off. A Lady whe witnessed the trap action, informed Mr. Kinnear of hi, less, who seized one of them, but the other es caped with the booty. DUBLIN FOUNDLING HOSPITAL —The following remarkable facts are collected from a recent Parlia- mentary pa e )er : —This Hospital was originally founded in 1704. Abuses crept into the establishment, which were put an end to by an Act of the Irish Parliament in 1796. Since that period, up to January, 1826, the total number of children ad mitted has been 52,150, of whom 14,619 died in the hospital while infants ; 25,859 were returned as dead whilst at nurse in the country ; 730 died in the infir mary after returning from nut se; 322 died in the tonn• try, grown children sent there for health ; making the total number of deaths, 41.524. 01 the remaining number 413 eloped from the hospital ; 1,093 were deli. vered up to parents whilst infants ; 34 were delivered to the same from the grown department ; 5,466 were ap prenticed to trades; 240 apprenticed to schoolmasters; and 526 transferred to charter schools. The number of children annually sent into the hospital, may be judged by the following facts :—ln 1817. 2.210 infants were admitted, while in the same period only 74 were appren ticed ; cad in 1818, 1,598 were admitted, and o.ly 93 apprenticed. This great accumulation of children forced the Governors to have a Bill brought into Parliament in 1822, providing that no child should be admitted without the payment of 51. to be levied on the parish whence the child came. The practical effects of this measure were felt at once; in 18'23 ot ly 419 'len admitted, and next year but 486. But the Report ' says that no increase of infanticide was the cenur quence of the decrease in the number admitted. The income of the Hospital arises pirgy from the rent of a small estate, producing about 100. per annum,' from children on admission, and which vary from 2 . 2001. 10 24001. but chiefly fr om Parliamentary grants, 111410 raging front 30,0001. to "ow. per *MUM ,t.
