BATH, MARCH S. FETE IN HONOUR OF GRORON IV. It was a most magnificent scene, to which all the Nobility and Gentry, for twenty miles round, were in vited. The Fete was given by the York Club, at the Upper Rooms, in this City. The superb Saloon was appropriated for the Ball-room, which was decorated with flags and other insignia, in honour of the 14e -- rater of Europe. Matchless chandeliers, lUstres, and globe-lamps, of crystal glass, with wax lights, gave a brilliancy to the objects in this beautiful place which is indescribable. The Ball was opened with The Mouse of Brunswick, by Lady HOOD and the gallant Captain CROFTON, of the Royal Navy. The dancing commenced at eleven o'clock ; at twelve, quadrilles were introduced, and these predominated till one, when the company promenaded, two and two, to the Banqueting-room : the great Ball-room was the Supper-loom ; herein sat down six hundred persons to an entertainment consisting of the most delicious viands and wines. The tables were profusely orna mented with flags, banners, and mottoes, after the style of ancient chivalry. Busts of the KING, and emblems characteristic, were arranged on every side. Loyal devices ornamented the walls, painted by the hand of a master. After tdic,Banquet the Ladies and Gentlemen stood up, and drank—" Long life and happiness to GEORGE IV." The toast was drank with enthusiasm, with three times three, the Band playing GOD save tbe King. At four o'clock the dancing re commenced with waltzes and quadrilles ; they were kept up till six in the morning. Iris MAJESTY has been graciously pleased, by a • Royal Grant, to the Master, Fellows, and Scholars, of Sr. John's College, in the University of Cam bridge, to remove the restrictions in their Statutes, which prevented the election of more than two Fel- ' lows from the same County, into the Foundress's Fel lowships. These Fellowships are now open to all Candidates born in any pact of England or Wales. GEORGE THE THIRD, HIS COURT, AND FAMILY.— Upwards •of five hundred distinguished characters figure in this interesting Work, which has just ap peared, and will be read by all classes with the highest degree of satisfaction. Saturday, the Governor and Court of Assistants of the Russia Company had their Annual Dinner at the City 01 London Tavern, and were accompanied by Lords LIVERPOOL :tad CATHCART, and others of the Nobility. Police Officers were carefullt provided, in case of any disturbance; and this precaution seems now to be generally taken wherever any number of the Members of the Cabinet nre invited. _ His ALtJas - ry, we understand, has presented Cap tain FIT7.CLARUNCE with a sword of considerable as .t mark of his Royal approbation of that gal lant young Officer's meritorious services in Cato-street FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

FROM SOUTH AMERICA.--Our Baltimore *Corms rondent informs us of the arrival at that port of the ship Balloon, from Guayquil. The United States ship Macedonian arrived at Valparaiso about the 10th October, and proceeded for Lima. No accounts had been received from Lord Cochrane 's squadron :ince ther departure.—Americen Paper. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—The Oratorios at this House, under the direction of Mr. BIMIOP, de serve the encouragement which they receive, for they are managed with a taste and skill of no common kind. The performance last night was excellent Miss STRPIIESs and Ascn is ANI, in die favourite duet from Don Giovanni. were twice encored. 13aa tram sung a fine scene, composed by BISHOP, from Para dhe Lost, and the Last words of Marmion, with great applau:x. His Cntdclperehefinora, from NlozaßT'S Figaro, has not yet been rivalled iu this country.— Miss Svarnaws sung Sweet Bird, in her usual style. The House was well filled in every part. EXETER THEATRE.—The fire at Exeter Theatre broke out between two and three on Tuesday morning ; several fire-engines were drawn to the spot as speedily as possible, but before their arrival the flames had burst through the roof, which shortly after fell in with a tremendous crash. The interior of the building, at this time, presented one entire blaze from end to end, preventing the possibility of saving a single article; and, in little more than an hour from the first discovery of the fire, the whole of the building was enveloped in one mass of ruins. The flames raged with amazing fury, and the sight was awfully grand and appalling. Large flakes of fire were constantly ascending, which, drifted by the wind, excited the utmost terror and alarm through the neighbourhood: Four or live houses in St.' Southernhax-place, situated near the Theatre, were in the most imminent danger; to the preservation of Close the engines were principally directed, and by the indefatigable exertions of the firemen, and others v.ho assisted, they were fortunately saved, as well as the handsome building in front of the Theatre, lately erected. The Theatre had been elegantly fitted up, at a considerable expense, previous to the opening this season. The loss of the Proprietors must be very considerable, as we understand the property is not insured to one half the amount. The state of the Performers is deeply to be lamented, as they have lost their dresses and other properties. A subscription has, however, been commenced for their relief. LITER4TURE, iftc. THE DEATH OF LELA. (Fragment frontthe Spanish). Yes, oft I attended, with Prod" =1 The couch where, in sickness, my reclined : And oft by the aid of the Lady of Night, In her beautiful eye—still unfadingly bright..;- Marked each image that dwell in her mind : There affection and sorrow together were blended; The tears of regret, with the glances of love • Regret—that so soon she must leave, anbefrended, The lord. of her bosom in sadness to rove. One eve, as she rested her head on my breast— Can I cease to remember that moment? No, never! , On my lips with wild fervor a kiss she irnprest, Then sunk to repose on my bosom for ever! For scarce had I tasted the sorrowful bliss When her heart seued its throbbing, and dim grew her eye ; And I found that my lips had entombed her last sigh; That her spirit had fled with the kiss! A. WONDERFUL MEMORY. (Anecdote by Dr. ILast.ast). Many of the transactions of our early years ap pear to be wholly obliterated from our recollection ; they have never been presented as the subject of our thoughts, but after the lapse of many years, have been accidentally revived, by our being placed in the situation which originally gave them birth. Although there are numerous instances on record, and some perhaps familiar to every reader, I shall prefer the relation of one which came under my immediate ob servation. About sixteen years ago, I attended a Lady at some distance from town, who was in the list stage of an incurable disorder. A short time before her death, she requested that her youngest child, a girl about four years of age, might be brought to visit her, and which was complied with. The child remained with her about three days. During the last summer, some circumstances led me to ac company this young Lady to the same house. Of her visit when a child, she retained no trace of recollec tion, nor was the name of the village even known to her. When an ived at the house, she had no me mory of its exterior ; brit on entering the room where her mother had been confined, her eye anxiously traversed the apartment, and she said, " I have been here before, the prospect from the window is quite familiar to me, and I remember that in this part of the room there was a bed and a sick Lady, who kissed me and wept." On minute inquiry, none of these circumstances had ever occurred to het recol lection during this long interval, and in all proba bility they would never have recurred but for the cality which revived them. SHAKING MINARETS. The City of Ahmedabad, in Bombay, is justly celebrated for its beantiful building's of stone and other materials, and was not less so for the famous Shaking Minarets, which were admired by every stranger. The awful earthquake which visited this city on the 18th of June last, has, we regret to learn, levelled nearly the *hole of these fine ornaments with the dust. The proud spires of the great mcsque, the Juma Muzjid, erected by Sultan Ahmud, the King of Guzerat, and the founder of the city of Ahmeda bad, which had stood nearly four hundred and fifty years, have tumbled to the ground within a few yards of the place where they once reared their heads. The mosque itself has sus:ained less injury than could have been expected, and the handsome arch which divided the minarets !ias escaped unhurt. Another Muzjid, of elegant structure, which lies to the left of the road leading to the Shahee Bagh, denominated the Beebees, or Unchunt koenkee ke Muzjid, has shared the same fate. A Gentleman, while riding out, saw the minarets come down ; the tops were thrc,wn to a distance, and immediately afterwards the stones came tumbling down one after another.-- The only remaining shaking minarets, which are at all worthy of notice, and are much inferior to the others, hare,• it it said, been sadly. fractured ; they are situated in the Goonopteepoora,.to the east of the city, outside the walls. SALUBRITY OF THE LONDON All. It was 4.sa F int of Mr. Cline, many years ago, that " London is the healthiest spot in all the world." In no place are there so many human beings congre gated together enjoying so high a degree of general good health. Mr. Sutleffe, Surgeon, gives it as his opinion, in a paper in the last number of the London Medical Repository, that the happy exemption which the inhabitants of London for the most part enjoy from the diseases common to other capitals, is owing to the sulphurcous naptha emitted from the coal, serving the salutary purpose of checking the delete rious agency of febrile affection. " It is an indis putable fact," he says, " that whilst the reports of medical men teem with complaints of the.prevalence of fever a few miles around .us on many sides, we must all acknowledge the mildness of the febrile character in the metropolitan region." "To pros ," he adds, " that the air is saturated with sulphureosis naptha, we shall not be able to recognize the presence of a ►asp for ten years together in this region, an in sect to which sulphur is positively obnox►ous." INDIAN CURE FOR TIIE EAR-ACHE Take a piece of the lean of mutton, about the size of a large walnut ; put it into th'e fire, and burn it for some time till it becomes reduced almost..to a cinder; then put it into a piece of dealt rag, and squeeze it until some moisture is expressed, which must be dropped into the ear as hot as the patient can bear it. This has been tried in a family at Ma dras, in more than one instance, and gave immediate relief, after laudanum and other medicines had been ineffectually applied. THE DEVIL ' (Extract from a French work entitled “ The Devil, painted by himself"). In all ages the Devil has rendered great service to the learned, for whom he has always evinced parti• cular regard. Scaliger was said to have entered into a compact with him. Socrates,. Apuleus i Agrippa, Cardan, Cagliostro, are reported to have had familiars who inspired them with knowledge..— Roger Bacon was imprisoned because the Devil taught him mathematics. The Knights Templars, and Joan of Arc, were accused of holding commu nication with demons. Our ancestors had so mean an opinion of the human mind, that they deemed it incapable of producing anything without the aid of the Devil. John Faust, ore of the inventors of print ing, was suspected of holding open communication with the Prince of Darkness. In Switzerland, the common people entertain so high a notion of his talents, that they attribute to him the construction' ' of several master-pieces of architecture. Denis le Chartreux says, that the Devil is a great geornetra i clan; Milton asserts that he excels in the building of bridges; and Tennilian informs us, that the Devil is so good a natural philosopher, that he can carry sieve full of water, without spilling a drop! BUYING WIVES. The Babylonians had a law, which was also fol lowed by the Heneti, an Illytian people, and by He rodotus thought to be ene of their best, which or dained that when girls were of a marriageable age, they were to repair at a . certain time to a place MIMS* the young men likewise assembled. They were then sold by the public crier, who first disposed of the most beautiful one. When he had sold her, he put up others to sale, according to their degrees of beauty. The rich Babylonians were emulous to carry off the finest women, who were sold to the highest bidders. But as the young men who were.poor could not aspire to have a fine woman, they were content to take the ugliest, with the money which was given with them : for when the crier had sold the handsomest, he ordered the ugliest of all the women to be brought, and inquired if any one was willing to take her with a small sum of money ? Thus she became the wife of him who was most easily satisfied ; and thus the finest women were sold, and from the money which they brought, small fortunes were given to the ugliest, and to these who had any bodily deformity. A fa ther could not marry his daughter as he pleased, nor was he who bought her allowed to take her home, without giving security that he would marry her., But, after the sale, if the partites were not agreeable to each other, the law enjoined that the purchase money should be restored. ANOTHER WAY OF MATCH-MAKING. Amongst the Cretans, the young men, .when of' , mAture age, were not permitted to marry as they thought ht themselves. They were not left to the impulse of passion, by which we are so frequently misled in that serious engagement. In forming the contract of wedlock, riches and pleasures were not their objects—those delusive phantoms, which often bring discord, indifference, and regret. In truth, a Cretan married not for himself, but for the State.', The Magistrates had the right of choosing the' strongest and beet made of the young men, and of marrying them to women who resembled them in constitution and figure, that a well proportioned matrimonial union might produce a robust, tall, well-made posterity, whose physical powers would do tonour to the nation, defend it, terrify their ene-' mies by their mere presence, and conquer and reduce them to subjection, by their strength and their valour. ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS. M. Lapostolle, Professor of Chemistry and Natu ral Philosophy, at Amiens, has recently proved by ex , periment, that straw is by far the best conductor of the electric fluid. He proposes, accordingly, to erect all over France, poles of lime or other white wood, twenty feet long, around which bands of straw shall be entwined; each pole to have a metallic point at the. top. These, he thinks, would supply the place of ordinary conductors ; one only would suffice for a square of sixty. acres, and at an expense exeeedz ingly small. INDIAN WILD ASS, General Sit' D. Ochterlony lately dispatched, as a present from the Nawab of Bhawulpoor to Go• vernor•General the Marquis of Hastings, a beautiful Wild Ass, of that species called by the natives Gor Khur. This elegant creature is described a. being eleven or twelve hands high, of a beautiful light fawn or cream colour, with long ears, and large black eyes. In disposition it is untractable, and in this, as Kell as in every other respect, excepting the colour, resembles the Zebra. It is said to be a contpleze model of strength, beauty, and agility.— A.rictic Mirror. PRIME MINISTER SICK. M. Bondon, an eminent Surgeon, was one day sent for by the Cardinal du Bois, Prime Minister of France, to perform a very serious operation upon him. The Cardinal, on seeing him enter the room, said to him, " You must not expect to treat ipe in the same rough manner as you treat your poor mi serable wretches at your hospital of the Hotel Dieu." " My Lord," replied M. Bowdon with great dignity,' " every one of those miserable wretches, as your Eminence is pleased to call them, is a Prime Minis ter in my eyes r FILIAL RESPECT. The celebrated French comic actor Brunet, who has a numerous family, never suffers his children to visit the Theatre where he performs, lest by seeing and laughing at their father, in the performance of rid?tulous characters, they should insensibly lose the filial respect due from children to their parents. CALFSFOOT JELLY. We have the authority of Auld Reekie's first Pa ils:kr for stating, that, according to a most philoso phical and accurate calculation made by him, the quantity of culfsfoot jelly consumed in Edinburgh alor.e, is five times greater than could be afforded by all the calves killed in Scotland put together. The truth is, it is generally made from bullock,' entrails, which are carefully preserved from the dogs, and transmitted t.) the mansions of those Ladies, whom their cards inform us we are to have the pleasure of finding " At Home," a few evenings afterwards!!— Black:roods Magazine, CORRECT TRANSLATIONS. In a recent translation into English of a French work on Chemistry, we find " La precipitation per e," thus rendered—" The Persian precipitate !" In the Spanish Nautical Vocabulary, they have transformed an English First Lord of the Admiralty into a Saint ; and the Islands named in his honour the Sandwich, are with them the " Isles 11 Saint Duisk !" The French translator of Franklin's' Correspon .dence has made a still worst blunder. Franklin some where says—" People imagined that an American was a kind of Yahoo." On this the translator makes the following sagacious note :—" Yahoo !—it must be a n animal. It is affirmed that it is the Opossum; but I have not been able to find the word Yahoo' is any Dictionary of Natural History !! I" - PROJECTED ORDER OF MINERVA. It has been confidently stated, that it was his late Majesty's intention, at one period, to institute a new Order of Knighthood, to be called the Order of Mi nerva, for the encouragement of literature, the fine arts, and lCarned professions. The Order was in- tended to consist of twenty-four Knights and the Sovereign, imd to be next in dignity.to the military Order of the Bath.... I'he Knights vier . to wear silver star of nine points, and a straw-coloured rib bon from the right shoulder to the left. tigu! e of Minerva was to have been embroidered in the' centre of the star, 'with the motto " Oannia podhabita Scien" So certain were the literati of the measure being adopte4, that some altercation actually took place amongst the self.elected candidates for the new lie noun; astd it is extremely probable that the only cause of its failure, was the King's apprehension that the numerous jealousies which would arise even from the fairest seleetiOn of talent and ability, v,ould ren der its institution an evil rather than a 'benefit, espe cially at a moment when party measures ran so very high upon political subjects. CovuTay.--.Apprenticeship to one and the Arai trade within the City, for seven years, not vitiated bi the receipt of parochial alms, qualifies a person to be voter, whethet resident or not. The number of vote& is computed at 2400 ; and as the greater phi arc non-resident, this usually entails on Candidates ait enormous expense. At last Election various were the persons, both in number and respectability, who were talked of ls Candidates for Lesly Crodinds Riding School !—Sir HILNI/If WRIGIIT WILSON had an offer made to him of support free of expense, which he declined. Sir CnmiLss WoLsictsy L - 4J'a peep at the town ; Mr. COBSETT WAS by some con sidered as a proper person to Rep resent tilt City ; and a subscription war entered into for the purpose of conveying the non-resident Freemen to Coventry in behalf of Mr, IioNE ; but the money subscribed not being enough to carry them above four or five miles on their way, is to be returned, although mall , - iealous volunteers offered to trudge in on font. to the tune of I'he Bleck DuLatt, or The Devil's a Witch ! Yet the contest finally rested between the termer Memberc, Mr. PLTSit MOOSE, Mr. BurrEstwoartr, and Mr. ELLIcz, (brother-in -law of Earl GREY) then a Candidate for the first time. After a polling of eight day, Mr. BUTTERWORTH declined, and Mr: Muoftit aad Mr. ELLICE were elected. HERRIAG FISHERY. A Report has been published by the Conirr.issloners for the Herring Fishery, in which they give a view of :he state of the fishing from April, 18111, to Aptil, ;019, front which it aypears that the produce of the fishing has Leta more abuntliun m the last year than in that of the preceding, and t h ..t th. cuantity of herrings branded for bounty, and e:.verttd, is far b e yond any thing previously reported by the Cc.:.:litis.iioners. In the year ended ith ayril, 171111, the total t.vtotity caught was 227,t 0 / barrels; of which, 204,270 t barrels were cured jutted, and 211,42C3 ungutted. In the year erited sth April, 1819, the total qoantity caught is 340,694 ban - els ; of which, 305,7721 have been cored gutted, and 57,11 e; ungutted; bring an increase to the total quantity of 113..215 barrels; of 99,407 i in the quantity gutted, and of 13,6951 in the quantity unguttyd. In the preceding year the quauuty of. herrings found entitled to bounty, was 183,01101 barrels; in the present, 270,0221 have been branded ; being an increase of 86,953 harrels. In the last year, the total quantity of herrings cxportef was 162,3391 barrels, whereof 148,1471 were cured gutted, and 14,192 ungutted. In the prewar, the total qdontity_ exported is 227,162 baels, Whereof 212,3011 have been zuretlgotted, and 14,8& imparted ; being an increase in the total quantity of 64,9221barre15, of 4,154 In the quantity gutted, and of 6681 in the quantity vngutted. . . It will also be seen, that while, in the preceding year, 43,896 barrels i►ere exported to the Continent of Europe, whereof 528 were ungutted, the exportation to the same quarter in the pre- . sent year amounts to 5:4,333 barrels, all gutted; being an in-' crease of 5437 barrels. These statements re, der it unnecessary for the Commissioners to make any observations on the flourishing state of the Fishery; but they have. much pleasure in repor,ing, that.greatas has been the amount of the Fishery in the present if ar, the demand for herrings fully kept pace with the supply till towards the month of April last, wheel the prices fell; but the Commissioners have reason to believe that not above 15,000 barrels remained unsold at the sth of that month u i and that before the ensuing fishing commenced, not above a few hundred bat rels *ere undispowdof.• The abominable ptactice of cutting women inno streets has found its way to Augsburg. A large reward has bten offered fur the offender, who is described as a man elegantly dressed, wear ing spurs, and a cloak with many capes.
