DEPARTURE OF THE PRINCE AND PRIN('ESS OF DENMARK. • The time of the Prince and Princess of DILMWARIC, since their Royal Highnives took leave of the KING on Sunday, has been spent in paying visits and taking leave of the d'fferent branches of the Royal Family, the Cabinet Miqisters, the Foreign Ambassadors And Ministers, the Nobility, Gentry, and persons of dis tinction, whom their Royal Highnesses have visited, and received visit; from. On iCednesday the Prince went over the curinsitie , , and to the top of St. Paul's Cathedral. His Royal Highness and his amiable Princess were engaged in the course of the day, ac• companied by the Prince of HOLSTEIN, in receiving calls from the Duke of YORK, the Duke and Duchess o f GLOUCESTER. the Princess AUGUSTA, the French Anilya.sador, and most of the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers, with their Ladies. Their Royal High nesses were also engaged in making and completing purchases of the British manufacture% In the even ing the Prince and Princess, accompanied by the Prince of HOL MEIN, dined with the Duchess of KENT, at her Royal' Highness's residence in the King's Pa lace at Kensington, where the Royal strangers were met by most of the Royal Family, and where the Royal party spent the evening. Ye terday morning the Prince and Princess saw very few visitors at their residence in Wimpole•street; amen:; them were Count de Moerse, the Danish Minister, Count MUNSTER, &c. Their Royal Ili,litiesses brought with them a car riagi .hich has been in the. family 150 years, which 061 11'), al Highnesses gave up to their attendants, and base purchased an elegant and convenient Ira., yelling carriage for themselves ht Lorig-acre, with which they are so highly delighted that they have ordered a similar carriage to be sent after them to Denmark.—The Prince and Princess, accompanied by their suites, set out yesterday afternoon about half-past three o'clock, for the seat of the Earl of Essex, at Cashiobury, in Hertfordshire. Yesterday, at half-past twelve o'clock, his MA JESTY left town in his travelling carriage for Kew, where the KING spent the day. T. - e Mike of Wswecrrou and Lord FALMOUTH ray - .: - 1 and dinners yesterday at their respective dvieA , ilgs in Piccadilly and St. James's-square. The country will he happy to hear that the Duke of BEDFORD is doing well. The last account which reached toa n Was, that his Grace had passed a good nig; .t, aid that the symptoms had moderated. The attack i roceeded from a too great determination of blood to the head. His Grace must have been left i very weak, as he lost 72 ounces of blood at the first bleeding. He was likewise bled a second time. _ The Hon. 111 rs &miaow, and some other Ladies of the late Queen Cisaatorsie's Household, inhabit ing apartments in St. James's Palace, opposite St. James's-street, have received notice to quit imme diately, that pail of the Palace being destined to be taken down shortly, for the purpose of making a grand entranceinto the Palace. The first stone of the new Bridge over the Thames, at Windsor, will be laid with Masonic ceremonies on Wednesday nest, the 10th inst. by his Royal High. cress . the Duke of Yolk, High Steward of the Bo rough. On this occasion the Grand Lodge of Eng land will attend, in full costume, assisted by many other distinguished Member; of the Order. The ce. remonial Will likewise be attended by the MAYOR and Corporation, and other distinguished bodies of the town ; and it is contemplated that the splendour and rtovelty of the spectacle will attract a great number of visitors, as . well from the metropolis as the sur rounding country. Brandenbwgh House, a few years ago the gay re sie!ence of the fvlargravine *of ANSPAOH, and latterly of the late QUEEN, is now nearly razed to the ground, and the materials of the buildings have been sold. Those of the Theatre, with the scenery, which cost nearly 6,0001. produced little more than 300/. Madame CATALAN[ left London yesterday, for Paris, with her son and his tutor, who have arrived in this country for the purpose of accompanying her.— She will remain in that city for two months, and then proceed to Italy, which she proposes making her future abode. HAYMARKET.—The Comedy of John Buzzby was represented last night, and went off very successfully. The box sheet of this Theatre every night presents a long and fashionable list of names. We have not seen', a fuller or more respectable audience at either of the Winter Theattes than that which last night attended this House. The company is excellent. The pieces are light, suited to the season, and adapted to the respective abilities of the performers. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE—That interestingprodigy, Miss CLARA FISHER made her appearance last night in the character of Little Pickle, in the Spoil'd Child. The abilities of this child are wonderful. Whatever character she assumes she is sure to excel in it. Miss Fistful danced the hornpipe with peculiar grace and elegance, and so delighted were those who beheld ter, that a repetition was unanimously called for.— She also sang The Sailor Boy capering ashore, in a very pretty style, clearly evincing that her talent does not he in any particular species of performance, but that in all she is alike successful.. Miss Sorrrinwzu. 'made her 'first appearance as Maria, and sung one or two sungs in a pleasing mauler, and was vet y well received.—Belles without Beaux, and Love among the Enses, followed in succession. In the former Piece, Miss KELLY made her appearance, as Mrs. Dashing ton, and was, as usual, everything that could be wished. The evening's entertaiaments concluded with the Actress qf All Work, in which Miss CLA eta FIiHER •Sigiiin displayed her wonderful versatile abilities in six different characters, and sent home the audience highly delighted with the whole of the performance. • Tiaa Museum, No. XI.

The Light Horse Volunteers had another dield•aiy yesterday, and underwent a farther inspection in Hyde-Park. Their Re view on Saturday at Wormwood Scrubs, is expected to be the finest military apecticle , we have had for a long while. The Royal Horse Guards had a field-day yesterday morning at Wormwood 'Scrubs, previous to their being reviewed. Early this morning. the 2d Battalion of the Regiment of Guards, (attended by their Officers), mustered in St. James's Park, and marched to Woolwich, there to embark for Plymouth. The 9th Lancers have left Brighton fur Weymouth, &c. They have been succeeded by four troops of the 5d Dragoons. Wednesday next the Staff and remainder of his NIA.III6TY'S 9th Lancers, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel MOSLAND, Will occupy Radipole Barracks. Order issued by the late gallant and respected Commander of the Forces in Ireland, previous to his departure front Dublin : Adjutant-General's Office, Dublin, 24th June, 1822. His MASCIITY has been pleased to direct the following reduc tions and changes to be made in the Staff of Ireland from the 25th instant inclusive : The Commander of the Forces to be replaced by a Lieu tenant-General on the Staff. The Adjutant-General and the Quartermaster-General to be discontinued. . Lieutenant-General Sir SAMUEL AIieMIEUTY, G. C. IL to be Lieutenant-General on the Staff. Previously to quitting the command of the Army In Ireland, General Sir DAVID BAIRD feels that he owes it to the uniform support and assistance he has derived from the General Officers, the Heads of Departments, the Staff, and the Officers in com mand of Corp., to express his entire approbation of the zeal and intelligence with which they have respectively fulfilled the du ties intrusted to them, and especially during a period when the state of the country called for more than ordinary vigilance and exertion. The Officers and troops in general have merited his warmest commendation, not only for the discipline and good order they have observed under harassing duties, and in the peculiar state of dispersion in which this Army is placed, but for the temper and forbearance they have manifested upon every occasion. Between one arid two o'clock this morning the Metropolis was visited by a violent thunder storm, accompanied by heavy rain. The lightning M as very vivid, and the peals of thunder laud and long-conti nued. At two o'clock all was again calm, and the rain entirely ceased. About noon, however, the " lightning's vivid glare," accompanied by loud and Frequent peals of thunder, announced an approaching storm, when the rain soon began to fall in torrents, and continued for some time to deluge the streets of the Metropolis with water and to clear them of pas sengers, except in the neighbourhood of Whitecha pel, whete the anxious visitants to Fairlop Fair very, reluctantly quitted the coaches, chaises, carts, and l l other vehicles, in which they had taken places to visit that annual scene of festivity, Hainault As a proof of the healthful state of the inhabitants of the City of London, which within its walls contains ninety-seven parishes, we learn by the last weekly bills of mortality that the number of deaths did not exceed fifteen. DUEL.--Capt.O ' GßADy and Mr.JAMEsGRATTAN, both Irish County Members, had an affair of honour lately, in consequence of a political dispute. The former was attended by the Hon. JOHN Lowrnza, as his second, and the I.attei by the Hon. CHARLES HOWARD BUTLER CLARKE. After an exchange of shots the seconds interfered, and the parties shook hands before they left the ground. DimmteNnass.—VVednesday, a man was observed in Theobald's-road, Gray's Inn, in a state of intoxi cation; at length he leaned his bead on a post, and remained in that situation some time, as if in a sleep: a person went up to rouse him, but at the touch of his hand the body fell = the man had expired !—Ver dict—Died from.excessive drinking. tiTRAORDINARY CIRCUM.,TANCE.—A few even ings back, a person of respectability died from the effect of the following singular fright :—He had been sojOurning at a friend's house in Southampton-street, Holborn, to avoid the importunities of a n-smerons body or creditors, and the more disagreeable visits of bailiffs, and he thought himself quite secure from their intrusion ; but by some curious means or other a Sheriff's officer, who held . a writ against the fugi tive, discovered his retreat, and prepared measures for the caption. He repaired to the house at an un seasonable hour at night, and continued knocking until the, door was opened, when he forced in, and asked for the Gentleman by name, at the same time announcing the object of his visit. The unfortunate Gentleman was then in bed, but a person went up to apprize him of the matter; when he heard it, his colour left him, his frame became dreadfully agi tated, and he fainted away. Surgical assistance was procured instantly, but life was gone ! Mr. STIR LING held an Inquest on the body on Saturday, when it appearing that apoplexy was the cause of his death, a verdict was returned to that effect. L Atrrossaarus.—At a Melee days sale of books, Ste. that has just concluded, several autographs were amongst the lots. One lot was the signature of BONAP• ars ; it fetched egg/feet shillings. Another lot consisted of several autographs, the most celebrated of which was that of the late Princess Cal A ItLorns; the lot fetched Si. - - . Wednesday afternoon a female roiled at Mr. Harding's, stl• trerstitith, thford-street, with a note, requesting some silver teapots might be sent to a house in ChapeLplace, Vere-street, for the approbation of a Lady who could not leave the house. A young man was dispatched with some; and after being ad mitted by the same female, was sliewn Into the drawing.ronni, where three teapots were selected by her, and taken up stairs for the Lady's approbation. After waiting a quarter of an hour, the young man rang the bell, and found she bad made her es cape, taking with her the property. She represented herself at the house as servant to a new married couple, who were to arrive in town from Bath yesterday, lowing a deposit of Ws. sad %lying a rafereisco to a hum 1a LoadowrralL ROYAL YACHT CLUB.

Wednesday sennight, while the Caledonian steam- , boat was leaving the quay at Perth, a young man, who had been rather lath for his passage, in attempt. ing to jump on board from a neighbouring vessel, tell into the river. The Captain of the sloop, Mr. BETT, of the Industty, from Inverkeithing, immediately spruirg over, and holding by the hand of the Mate of the vessel, who stood on deck, succeeded in lay ing hold of the drowning man. He was unable, how ever, thus to extricate him, and called out to the Mate to let go his hand. The. Mate obeyed, and the Master dropped into the Tay beside the young man, who, with terror and despair painted in his counte nance, grasped him firmly by the waist. Captain BETT being an excellent swimmer, turned upon his back, supporting the lad on his breast ; but being en cumbered with his clothes, and the weight of the body above, he sunk and rose again several tin:e,, before- the boat which was sent to their assistance reached them. It reached them, however, just in time, and brought them ashote, amid the plaudits of the spectators, who were filled with admiration at the coolness and intrepidity displayed by Captain BerT, during the whole transaction. A fatal accident, occasioned by the fire-damp, took place early on Monday morning, at the colliery of Messrs. NuweouLos, near Sheffield. Ten of the work men had just descended the pit, where a quantity of the gas was accumulated, which coming in contact with the lighted candle, the vapour ignited, and five of them were unfortunately killed by the explosion. Two out of the number escaped with little . injury. Three of them were shortly after extricated, though so much burnt as to be considered in great danger. Wednesday se'nnight, some wicked incendiary set flue to the house of Mr. C. P. CAHILL, of Cranagh more, in the parish of Drum, within two miles of Athlone, in the county of Roscommon. The flames communicated to two adjoining houses, belonging to wretchedly poor people, and entirely consumed the same, and burnt to death a pouts? Lady, HARRIET FLOOD, an inmate of Mr. CAHILL s.

Tuesday was the day, for making an addition 'to .the stake money between Randall and Marlin, but, as Was anticipated, the match is off, and without a forfeit, from the builLtling Man tier in which the articles were drawn up. It was at Spring's house where the parties met, and to finish, Spring and Randall had a fight, the marks of which the latter bears, and he accc . Spring of hitting and kicking him when down. The matter is not set at rest, and some diversion is likt:ly to ensue. • • Two merry stand-up battles were fought yesterday morning, on the Weald, near Stoke, Bucks. The first was for twenty guineas, between Josh. Davis and Jae! Harris, two very good ones, of eleven stone each. The first two rouwis lasted a quarter of an hour, and the claret flowed in abundance.—Davis was thrown in both rounds. 3d. Harris received a heavy facer, which darkened one of his peepers, but he floored his adversary by a hit in the wind, which doubled him up. The 4th, .sth, and Sth rounds were fought in distress, but the ' men recover-d second wind in the seventh round, and turned to for mischief. It was a gallant round in favour of Davis, who loosened his adversary's jaw. tith and 9th, Davis kept the lead, and Harris was blind of an eye, but he floored Davis in both these rounds. lie however had chance after, although he protracted the fight to the fif teenth round, when he was lilt down, and v as deaf to the call of " '.me." Davis won it in thirty-two minutes. Muss and Havoll..—"nliS was a merry fight for a purse of XS, and it was won by Moss in twenty minutes, by superior fight ing. Haven was the biggest man, but Moss is a strangle left handed hitter at the head, and he man;;led his adversary's pro minent organs in good form. . BATTLE BETWEEN A TOAD AND AN EEL ! . A few days ago, a toad, sitting on the edge of a small rivulet, near Coniston Lake, Newcastle, by accident fell into the water, where was a large eel, which immediately give it battle : it seized it by one of its hind legs, and shook it as a terrier would a rat. Still the toad defended itself with vigour, till the eel actually se vered its leg learn its body, which it swallowed, and az-ni re turned to the ch./cp, but with great care evaded coril!ng in front, till espying one of the toad's unguarded moments, it wiz. d the remaining kind leg, which soon shared the fate of the former.— There being no more prominent parts behind, nor any other part to si ize upon without rushing into the very heat of the contest, the poor toad was suffered to escape with the hiss of two of its most useful members ! SHAKING IN THE HAT! " Ltre.."—Th.: following specimen of a certain kind of " Life" —once all the go, but now rapidly going out, was brought un der the notice of the Sitting Magistrate yesterday, at llow-street Office. A poor harmless translator of old shots was placed'at the bar by a city officer, upon a charge of having stolen or otherwise improperly obtained a cheque for WM. front one stolen, Freslitield, Esquire. This John Freshfield, Esq. is a diminutive forked-radish sort of a young man ; very fashionably attired--ur, as he would say, kiddi'y toad ; and, though it was scarcely noon, rather queer in the attic—that is to say, not exactly sober. He stated his case 'in this manner :—" Here—l wish this fellow to say how be got hold o' my cheque for three hundred—that's all you_know, let him come that, and I shall be SlllWitti—rum go—had it kit night, missed it this morning—d---d ram go. l itre—here it is, see! payable at Hankey's—all right; grabbed hint myself. Went to Hankey's two hours 'fore Hank opened—waited two hours—sat upon little stool, wouldn't be done, you he comes with it—grabs hint! There be was—looked like a foul. Halloo! says I—how did you come by it? Muss. Hadn't a word, you know. Only let him come it now—all about it and I'm satisfied. Don't like to be dune--a rum go, but can't stand it. That's all." The City Officer said, he had been sent for to Mulkey's, to take the prisoner into custody ; and having done so, be carried him before the Lord Mayor; but as it appeared the offence, if there was any, had been committed in the county, hid Lordship had referred the matter to Bow-street. The Magistrate asked to see the " cheque," as the Esquire called it. '('he officer produced it, and it proved to be no: a cheque, but an acknowledgment from Messrs. Ilankey and Co. that they had received .4.7.00 from John Freshtield, Esq. for ' which they would account to him on demand. " Pray have you ad account at flankey's, Mr. Fresh&ld?" asked the Magistrate. Mr. Freshfield replied—" Who—l? not a hit of it. I'm fr.:hi the country you know. I}---n town—had enough of it almost. ,Pftlan.d in this manner. Its a sick'her. Got it again, though. Ottly want to know how that fellow—the long one there—came by it. Put the Moot at flankey's to be safe, 'cause wouldn't be done, and then lost the cheque ! That's a rum go—isn't it, your worship?' The :Magistrate asked the prisoner how he came by it ? lie said he lodged at Mister Burn's, thefightingsrian, in Wind. 'mill-street, and two Gentlemen there, whom he did not know, gave him the " cheque" to get cashed. His Worship directed an officer to go to Burn's house and in. quire about it. In about half an hour he returned with Mistdr Burn in company. " Burn, do you know anything of this busimss?" asked the Magistrate. " Who was it gave this paper to the man at the Bar?' . " Who gave it him, your tVorship"—said Mister Burn," why, I did." " You did !—and pray how did yoa come by it ? Why, I won it, your Worship—won it by shaping in the hat r replied Mister Burn, squeezing the sides of the hat together, and giving it a hearty shake, to show his Worship the trick of it. The Magistrate lsoked at Mr. Freshheld, who 10..ked at Mr. Burn, who looked boldly round at everybody, as if nothing was the matter; and at last Mr. Freshfield ejaculated—" Will, that is a run go, however ! D—n mok never thought of that, you know. Don't believe it, though. Cuming it strung, ek! Burn ! may be, though—won't be sure.' , After soliloquizing some time in this style, he began . % long history of his having gone from Burn's to Spring's, and Spring's to Burn's, and betting upon the " match for Monday ;" and t.king the long odds at one plzce,, and giving them at another, till the Magistrate and everybody else was quite weary' of it. .So his Worship discharged the prisoner, recommended Jii...ter Burs nut to addict himself to ' 4 shaking in the hat," directed the City Officer to return Mr...Freshfield his .C3CO " cheque," a n d a 419. viwi Fieshfield to put it into his pccke:, and return to his I home in the country as soon as possible. MARRIAGES IN 11tan Larx.—Yesterilay Lerl Spormen led to the Hymeneal Altar Lady ANN MONTAGUE, sister to the Duke of BUCCLEIJGH. The nuptial ceremony was performed at :Nmaag ue House, Privy Gardens.
