DOGBERRY'S CHARGE TO THE CON STABLES OF THE WATCH. FOTTHMR. v isat s...." Well, give them their charge, neighbour Doo Much Ado about :Whim My good men and true men that mu►t not be feared When thus in officious dissembly appeared, Being chosen for parts that's most likely to catch As most senseless and fit for a vigilant watch. illost desartleu by force for reserving the peace, And behaving like ancient and quiet police ; Having knocked down the veterinarians that long Comprehended all vagrnm men righteous and wrong. [That kept silence by bawling all hours of the night,] And respected as thieves 'all who who stole out of sight; That beat none on their beat—nor charged fellows to stand But bid them" keep mooing' straight off out of hand ; Nor, like a consensious and scrofulous warder, Kept sly suppositious frail cysterns in order ; That never coMmended the mob to disgorge, Or gave riotous peace-makers loosely in charge ; And worse than the worst of all heinous offences, That argufied justice quite out of her senses. In short, to cut short this preclusive preamble, - You've knocked them down, just like wild beasts in a shamble, And by their ezemplar you'll all be adjured Such untolerant conduct can't ne'er be injured— Net by no means at all—nor no manner of means ; So they're put on the shelf like old crazy machines. And now, Masters! apprehend use—l'd have clearly Some confidence with you, decent. you more nearly : Come hither—all such a, are blest with good names, And are well lavour'd varlets, the more to your shames ! You may thank your good fortune for favour and feature, • But to read and to write can come only by Nature. Here's my book of Destructions, you'll carry about Like .a Horn-book, and constantly . thumbing them out By gap-light, or star-light, or no light at all, You'll spell all the great print, and guess at the small ; And conning them over to keep yourselves warm, Reflect on the duties you've got to reform— Rut yen need'nt rellect—a police of such stuff On the people that pays it reflects quite enough. Now, neighbours, you know this new system of ours Has been practised of old by all dissolute powers, Bat as it was proved upon inveteration • That old systems, like trees, wouldn't bear transportation ; A reverend youth, in his dolorous merriment, Has planted a peeling by means of experiment. —And first, muter.! mind, as we twig birds with lime, You're annointed to check the perversion of crime But 11l read the provincial destructions—good lack! Which indeed is put under the true white and black. Lawns: You'll get all these matters by rote, What ;in can't disremember must be of no note — Read on, if by Nature you're blest with the gift. U not, your next neighbour will give you a lift Attending to nothing but reading In quiet, Is the hist of all ways for preventing a riot ; And whilevliegant conning your lessons by heart, In silence all well behaved rogues will depart. • Told yogi* inferiors of higher degree" • Be vocations and thirsty as watchmen should be, And like chimney-sweeps, up to the top you must climb, For well make you all supniniendents in time. Every varlet that now bears the lantern before us .

And 'tis well that the service your time so engages, For, muter., 'tis prudently fix'd that your wages Shall all be extended in lodging and clothing, And for diet and drink, why, you'll want less than nothing. How you'll thrive is the service you can't have a notion, And bit settled for life by a rapid commotion! Be sure to lodge near to your stations as may be, For, when tired, a true constable must be a gaby To prefer the cold flags, the raw air, and wet rain, To a snug little noose down in Feather-bed-lane ; And thus, when conveniently quartered together, You'll be ready for duty—in case of fine weather. For fear you should stray, and by thieve? be trepann'4l. Every man has been raddled, like sheep, with a brand : That if you get pounded, for trespass or so, You'll be known to the public wherever you go.

(To Os consumed nag drill). • PRIVATE LETTER.—Sir HARCOURT LEES has left Dublin within the last week for the North of Ireland, and the journey of the worthy baronet has excited a great sensation among the Catholics and the Liberals here. It is said that the object of his journey is to revive the Orange Clubs in all their pristine strength and glory.. I believe, too, Sir HARCOURT has merely intended to watch the progress made by Mr. O'Coll NELL in the South, and, for that purpose, had appointed a Re porter to meet him. In Belfast, and other towns of the Noith, which Sir HARCOURT has visited, he has not been received with that warmth and feeling that he ex pected. I have not heard what was his reception in Derry. WICK.—Mr. W. SMITH, M.P.—The able and inde fatigable Member. fin Norwich, WILLIAM SMITH, Esq. Deputy Governor of the British Society for extending the Fisheries and improving the sea coasts of the kingdom, accompanied by his son &num SMITH, Esq. Secretary to the Society, paid a visit last week to the settlement of Pulteneytown at Wick, when the 'roars of the town, as a mark of their respect for Mr. SMITH, who in his capacity of Deputy-Governor, has for Many years presided and anxiously in terested himself in the active management of the Society's affairs, presented him with a piece of plate of the value of sixty guineas. The plate was suitably inscribed, expressive of the deep sense entertained of the value of Mr. Smith's eminent services in establishing and promoting the welfare of the town. The whit must have !Men peculiarly gratifying to Mr. Smith himself, as on Ms first tour to Caithness, not yet thirty years ago, be saw the site of this large and populous town a barren waste, and where now are erected two spacious harbours crowded with vessels—a single boat could not find shelter.

A Garrison Court-martial assembled at Government House on Thursday, for the trial of a soldier of the 29th Regiment, for de sertion from the regiment in April last, and for being absent until the 20th instant, when he was brought back a prisoner ; and also for making away with his regimental necessaries. He was found guilty, and sentenced by the Court to three months' solitary con finement, and to be put under stoppages until the deficiencies were made good.—Devenpert Telegraph.

Yesterday a notice was posted on the door of several of the Churches in London, informing the unfortunate Watchmen that their services would be dispensed with after Tuesday. The following is a copy of the notice which was affixed to the door of the Church of St. Cle meat Danes: " To the Vestry and Overseers of the Poor of the Parish of St. Clement Danes, as well within the Liberty of Westminster u within the Duc hy Liberty, and to all and every the Watch men and others of the Night Police appointed in and for the said Parish, and to all others whom it cloth or may concern :—We, the undersigned Justices of the Peace, appointed under and by virtue of the Act of Parliament passed in the loth year of his present Majesty's reign, entitled, An Act for improving the Police in and near the Metropolis,' do hereby give you notice, that in pursuance of the said Aet of Parliament, a new Police will be ready to undertake the charge of the said Pariah of St. Cle ment Danes on the 29th September instant, upon and after which said 29th day of September, the Night Watch, and the Night Police appointed within the said Parish previously to, or inde pendent of, the said Act of Parliament, will be discontinued.— Given under our hands this 18th of September, 1829. (Signed) "C. ROWAN, " RICHARD MAYNE." The Duke of Mox TROSE has most liberally sent 1001. as a donation towards enabling the performances to be continued, for the benefit of the numerous families who depend on the opening of the theatre. M. ROTHSCHILD has also kindly given 501. to be at the disposal of the Committee. The rumour which has latterly appeared in some of the public papers relative to the injury of his MAJESTY'S sight, is, I am happy to inform you, without foundation. His MAJESTY'S health is good, and his sight as perfect as can be expected at his age. The cause of the rumour probably arose from a slight cold which affected his MA JESTY'S head, and produced a little weakness in one of his eyes, but of which he is now quite recovered. Earl Gower, the Earl of Chesterfield, the Earl and Countess of Newburgh, Lord Durham, Lady Wharn cliffe, and the Hon. Miss Wortley, are at present on a visit at Chatsworth, where the owner of that splendid mansion is entertaining a large and distinguished party. The Duke of Devonshire passed through this town on Saturday last, on his return from Doncaster, and during the present week the above noble personages likewise passed through Sheffield. The Marquis of Worcester, for Bodminster House ; the Earl of Wilton, for Eaten Hall ; the Hon. Stuart Wortley, and the Lady Georgiana and family, from Sandon, for rortley-hall, have passed through this place during the week.—Sheffield Courant. It is said to be the intention of Government to super annuate all Lieutenants and Commanders in his Majesty's Navy, whose commissions are dated in the last century, the Lieutenants retiring on a pension with the rank of Commander, and the Commanders with that of Captain. The Marquis of CIIOLMONDELEY'S fine mansion in Piccadilly, which has been sold to the Duke of CAM BRIDGE, is unden, , oing a thorough repair, previously to the arrival of his Royal Highness from Hanover. It is reported the office of Commander in Chief is destined for the Duke, and in that event the Duke of CUMBERLAND would be appointed to the Government of Hanover—a distinction said to be the summit of his Royal Highness's ambition ; but to this there are at present insuperable objections in a very high quarter.—Morning Paper. Sir FRANCIS Buanarr gave a grand dinner a few days back, at the villa of the late OWEN CAMBRIDGE, in Twickenham Meadows, to the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, and a large party of the Nobility resident in that neighbourhood. Mr. ROBERT BURDETT, the Ba ronet's eldest son, who is with his regiment at Hampton Court, was of the party. Lady BuItDETT and her four daughters were likewise present. Miss FANNY KEMBLE, the daughter of CHARLES KEMBLE, who is expected to make her di•but at Covent- Garden Theatre, in the character of Juliet, next Mon day, is a young lady of great beauty and accomplish ments. Her features are Siddonian, possessing at the same time the intellectual expression of her mother, Mrs. CDARLESKEMBLE, who, on that evening, will personate the garrulous and testy nurse. We find that Miss PATON and Madame MALIBRAN GARCIA are coming forward in the most liberal manner aid of the re-opening of Covent Garden Theatre. This is an example worthy of imitation, and does great honour to the heads as well as the hearts of these English and Italian Prima Donnas. It is stated that in the present convulsion in the wool trade nearly fifty houses have been, or mast be overturned. Last week, the Liverpool telegraph station comma cleated to Holyhead, a distance of 158 miles, and received an • sower in the ntraordioary short space of 5d seconds! ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE OF THEIR ROYAL HIGHNESSES Ole DUKE mad DUCHISS of CLARENCE. BRIGHTON, SEPT. 25.—This afternoon, at half-past four o'clock, the ' , sitars Ind Inhabitants of this gay place of fa allowable resort, were unexpectedly surprised and delighted at the announcement that their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Clarence bad arrived in town ; and were proceeding in two Royal carriages. to the York Hotel, to sojourn one night, previously to their embarkation for Dieppe, by the Talbot steam-packet, Capt. Norman, to-morrow morning.—The intelligence spread rapidly around, and in a short time thousands had asiembed Steyne and opposite the York Hotel, for the purpose of testifying their re verts to their Royal Highnesses. The Duke, Duchess, and suite alighted at the Hotel, amidst the accianiations of the populace, and shortly afterwards Count Munster, who occupies Regency liou,e.on the West Cliff, paid his respects to his Royal Highness, who received him with the most cordial friendship. Their Royal Highnesses then proceeded up the Marine Parade, follow, el by an immense number of enthusiastic individuals; and so dense was the crowd by the time their ttoyal Highnesses reached the Chain Pier, din they were induced to proceed down the flight of steps to the Pier, where they were received with every demonstration of respect by a vast number of aU ranks and descriptions, either accidental. or intentionally assembled on the occasion. The Ituyal party returned to the Steyne, and having paraded up and down, returned to the York Hotel amidst the greetings of the crowd. His Royal High ness was dressed in a plain blue suit, and the Ducheu wote a plain blue silk dress, with brown silk bonnet, and a green veil. Her Royal Highnesa's Maids of Honour were splendidly attired. The hells of the Old Church welcomed the arrival of their itnyal High nesses with a joyous peaL Count Munster entertained his It .yai Highness and a select party to dinner. at tte Regency House. SATURDAY, SRPTICARRIL DEPARTURE OF THE DUKK AND DUCHESS OF CLARENCE FOR DIEPPE. At an early hoar this morning an immense number of the visitrrs and inhabitants of this place were put in motion to witness the de parture of their Royal Highnesses for the Gallic shores, on board the Talbot steam-packet. By nine o'clock the Stryne, Marine Parade, and the approaches to the Pier, presented a most interesting and animated beetle, nearly all the youth, beauty, and fashion of the place having assembled on the occasion, anxious to be gratified with a sight of Royalty. Captain Norman, of the steam-packet. was in attendance upon his Royal Highness, at the York Hotel, last night, at eleven o'clock, to receive his instructions relative to the departure of their - Royal highnesses; and shortly after nine o clock this morning their Royal Highnesses, accompanied by Miss Fitz- Clarence and Miss Wilson, proceeded to the packet ; they went thee early to avoid a pressure from the populace, and to get on board without inconvenience to themselves, or the pro bability of incurring danger to others. Count and Countess Munster and family, Captain and Ludy Usher and family (eleven in number) mom followed their Hoyt,' I lighilessei to the packer, where they were received with the greatest politeness mil condescension by their Royal Uighur :sea- Captain Uslu-r's three sons (Midshipnieu) were received by his Royal Meiners with peculiar marks of condescension and affability. The number of elegantly-dressed Wiese, with preposterously large bonnets, bad now accumulated to such au extent, as to render even a glimpse of their Royal Highnesses to hundreds of anxious spectatots. quite hopeless, although the Royal party sat at the srero of the vessel, denoting that it was their wish to gratify all parties. His Royal Highness looked remarkably well, and ap peared delighted with the imposing teette by which he was sur rounded. Iler Royal Highness, we regret to say, looked but in differently, and appeared to be labouring under a disease of a cu taneous stature. The vessel was crowded with passengers. At ten o'clock precisely the ringing of the bell announced that all was ready fur sailing, and in a few minutes the vessel glided front the pier in a very steady and majestic style, the populace rending the air with acclamations, the band playing " Rule Britannia,' and their Royal Highnesses acknowledging the respect exhibited to wards them, In every way that ph:tries. and condescension could suggest. A Royal salute of 2t guns (Capt. Usher firing the first), was fired from the pier-head as the Royal party receded from the shore. REFUSAL OF THE LORD LIEUTENANT TO APPLY FOR THE INSURRECTION ACT. From the Morning Reg ister. The following letter has been received by Matthew Jacob, Esq. High Sheriff of Tipperary, in answer to a communication from that gentleman, transmitting to the Irish Government the resolutions adopted by the Meeting of Magistrates at Thuries on the 7th inst. There is also annexed a letter from the Military Secretary of the Com mander-in-Chief, in reply to one from Mr. Jacob. Mr. Gregory, Under Secretary of State, thus gives expression. to the opinions of Government on the subject matter of the resolutions : Dublin Castle, Sept. 16. I lave bad the honour to receive and submit to the Lord lieu tenant your letter of the 7th inst. transmitting the resolutions adopted at a meeting of the Magistrates of the county of Tipperary, assembled at Thesis* on that day. The measure which has been adopted by hie Grave, of bringing the Ovil Authorities of the country into immedi.te commis, isir.adon with the Commander of the Farces, and the appoint meet of stipendiary Magistrates for the ambiance of the resident Magistracy, fully evince the anxious desire of his Grace to sup port, as far as lies in the power of Govereatent, their exertions for the suppression of the disturbances which have prevailed in se veral districts of the county of Tipperary. I em directed to convey the assurance that his Grace will direct his immediate and earnest•attention to such of the measures recommended by the, Magistrates assembled as depend upuu his Grate for the present application to the existing evil. I am also directed to express the readiness of his Grace to meet the wishes of the Magis trates fur the augmentation of the police stations, to such ex tent as may be found expedient. His Grace wilt carefully con sider and communicate in detail the result of his deliberations upon the specific recommendation of the aiagistrates with regard to the disposition of the military. lam directed at present to observe, that some of them have already been curled into effect. or are in progress ; and none of the suggestions which have been submitted to his Grace will escape his earned and imme diate attention. With respect to measures which require the sanction of Parliament fur their adoption, his Grace will not omit fully to communicare to the Members of his Majesty's Govero ment, by whom the introduction of any such measure must be conducted, the views which are entertained by the large and re spectable body of Magistiates who assented to the resolutions of th e m e eting. With respect. however, to the Insurrection Act, his Grace feels that nothing but the increase and ext ado& of the existing evil, and the proved failure of the conjoint exertions of the civil and military authorities under the existing law, could justify him in adding to this communication of the views of the ..iagis• tracy the sanction of his recommendation or support. I ant di rected to repeat the expression of his Grace's confident hope that the efforts which he anticiplted on the part of the lagistracy, aided by those of Government, will shortly diminish the extent anti atrocity of the disturbances, and at no distant period free the county of Tipperary from the evil and disgrace which must attach to their continuance. The suggestions of the Magistrates, with reference to the Arms Act, will engage his Grate's best attention. The Military Secretary of the Commander of the Forces, Lieutenant Siborn, in a communication to the High Sheriff, dated Royal Hospital, Dublin, Sept. 16, thus explains the views of Sir John Byng : I have the honour to acquaint you. by desire of Lieutenant- General Sir John Byug, that he would have given an earlier reply to your letter of the 7th inst. but that as the proposed arrangement for permitting military parties to meet the Magistrates malting the requisitions at given points, to which they would be guided by constables (who would deliver the requisitions signed by the Ma gistrates themselves), is at variance with the General Orders for guidance of the Army in Ireland ; and as those orders were framed with the concurrence of the Irish Government, the Lieutenant- General felt that he could not, with propriety, admit of any such deviation from them without the previous assent of the Lord Lieu tenant ; but that, having now received his Excellency's approval, be has no objection whatever to snake to the arrangement in ques tion, being desirous of affording every possible facility to the Ma gistrates of the county of Tipperary in the preservation of the public peace ; and the necessary communication having bs en made to Major-General Sir Edward Ellakeney on the subject, Sir John Byng requests you will have the goodness. on your part, to make the plan Adopted known to all persons concerned. Mr. FOLEY, M.P. for Droitwich, who has so hand somely subscribed towards the fund for opening Covent- Garden Theatre, is one of the most distinguished patrons of private theatricals in the kingdom. At his seat in Herefordshire, he has built a Theatre, where private plays are acted by fashionable amateurs in a style equal to the Duke of Rictiatoun's, at Privy Gardens, many years back, Which was superintended by Miss Fan RUN ; or to Lord NOSMANBY'S . , at Florence, which aro said to via with our established Metropolitan Theatres. • STATE OF THE LABOURING CLASSES • IN T 1 g NEIGHBOURHOOD OF HUDDERSFIELD. •The Report on this subject, which has been some time preparing, is now completed, and a circular, of which the following is a copy, has been transmitted to M:. Secretary of State fur the Rome Department, the Earl of Harewood, I.drd Lieutenant of the West Riding of the County of York, the Earl of Dartmouth, a principal landetipropri , ?tor in :le neltzltbuqrhood, to each of the four County Ment!)er. , , and to several other Gentlemen: " The long-continued difficulties of numerous wretched indi viduals in this neighbourhood. and the alarming consequences likely to result from their increasing wants, require such particular notice at the present moment, that we beg to submit the following statements : In the months of June and July last, various meetings of the workmen, principally employed on fancy goods, took place at Almondbury (which town forms the centre of that branch ti trade): at which meetings several resolutions were passed, ea pressive of the deplorable situation of the weavers, spinners, and ethers engaged in that manufacture; and calling upon their mas ters, and all others who might feel interested on their account, to assist them. if possible, in obtaining some alleviation of then miseries. In consequence of repeated entreaties, the princip masters met a deputation at the Rose and Crown Inn, Hind derafield, on Tuesday the 21st of July last ; and, after a patient hearing of the unexampled sufferings then detailed, it was unaul musty agreed that an Inquiry into their state should take place, under the management of the Contmittee of the Operaives, and the several parish officers, and other respectable nieghbours who might feel disposed to assist the undertaking. • Tile meeting of the m stets and the deputation of °per wive. was adjourned from time to time, until the returns were com pleted; and, after careful examination, it appears that, in the seve ral' towpshi, s occupied in the fancy business, there are 13,000 individuals who have not more than 2 .d. per day to live upon, and find wear and tear for looms, &c. Whatever be the cause of such distress, it is feared that the agonizing condition of families sit cir cumstanced cannot long be elJured. The difficulty of obtaining relief by the ordinary course, and the aggravating circumstances often attending application: for it, have a powerful tendency to drive the applicants ultimately to desperation. In laying these painful statements before the hlembers of his Majesty'. Govern ment, and other influential gentlemen, the no item manufactcrers wish to do it respectfully ; impelled by a sense of duty which they owe to the Government and the Public, and especially to their workmen, who have hitherto borne their sufferings with extreme patience. It would be hizhly satisfactory to the employers if they courd, by any means, either fully employ their workmen, or give them higher wages, as many of the masters are well aware that liberal wages, it they could be given, would be one of the Arm sti mulants to an improvement in trade, by enabling the operatives to become purchasers of both clothing and better food, and thereby assist the landed as well as the trading interest. The master manufacturers regret extremely that the conse quences of lowering wages is so little undeistood, as the proper remuneration of labour is the mainspring of all operations in trade ; and the lower wages are made, the less will he the circu lation of the country ; consequently, returns and profits will be lessened in proportion. The parties engaged in this inquiry will be grateful if any Gentleman, or tiumher of Gentlemen, will point out any mode of relief winch can he efficaciously applied, to the extent necessary for the immediate wants of the workmen, that they may have a reasonable prospect of meeting the approach of winter with some degree of comfort, and nut be hurt ied by despair to acts of insubordination. The Conimittey will gladly afford any information in their power that may be required to those who feel interested in this momentous subject. " Sigurd, to; behalf of the Meeting, " W STOKS, jun. Chairman." LX( LISII OPLIt A- E.—This week terminet2s the perlormances of this House for the season, which the lovers sat goei'd musk will regret, as it has hem the only House in which they could find a gratifization of their taste, while the Italian Opera and Winter Theatres are clos-d ; and though the openim; of the latter may supply the accustomed enjoyment, yet it cannot obliterate the recollections of the exquisite treats that have been provided fur cultivated musical Vitae during the season of the English Opera. In a Report on the state of the labouring classes in the neighbourhood of Huddersfield, inverted in another part of HU. Paper, and transtnited to Mr. Peel, it is stated, that " in the seve ral townships occupied in the fancy business, there are @inwards ot thirteen thousand individuals who have not more than aid. each per day to live upon, and find wear and tear for looms, Ste.!"— It is important to observe, that this report does not emanate from an intemperate junto of idle and lawless men. It is not the fa brication of a discontented faction. It is nut pot forth for sonic dangerous political purpose. It is, on the contrary, the production of a tautly of most respectable 'mace sionefaclarees, who, ssm pathising deeply with their famishing workmen. have made their distresses the subject of minute inquiry. It bears upon its face the impress of truths, which, however, painful to contetnpladon,cannot be disregarded without reproach to humanity and danger to the State.—Shelield Courant. WELLINGTON BOLTED !—Tue,day week, at Don • easter races, when Minos, luny Mills, Wellington, and Pilgarlick, were doing their best to win the COrporation Plate, Wellington swerved from the course; when a gentleman. deeply interested its the race, exclaimed, " Wellington's bo!ted !"
