All the Nobility and Gentry of this town, and the neighbourhood, for many miles round, were present. The equipages-and-four exceeded thirty.

At half after seven o'clock on Saturday evening Hyde Park Corner was crowded with sportsmen, bu sily engaged in laying bets, an immense crowd soon collected, and after some time had elapsed it was dis covered that the object of attraction was a pretty little j poney without a rider, having a groont on another horse as his conductor. At a few minutes after eight. the Exeter 'Mail came up ; both the mail coach and the poney without a rider, but with his leader on ano ther horse, then started together fairly. Large sums are depending on the event of the journey ; the poney to rum with a conductor, but no rider, the whole of the way from London to Exeter, and the mail to have its usual change of horses, and take the chance of passengers and luggage. The poney was th e favou rite at starting. The Exeter Mail returning to Lon don met them on this side of Andover ; the poney trrived at Dorchester yesterday morning, ten minutes befbre the mail, was quite fresh, and likely to perform his journey. We are informed that the Spanish Deputies visited TWO'S Caricature warehouse in Cheapside, and made some liberal purchases of the Prints relative to their own country—Though the visit was unexpected, the crowd that gathered round the premises to view the Noble Strangers was immense.

'note and four shillings in silver, and the sheets off the bed. A girl in the fields saw them break into the house, and immediately gave the alarm ; when they were taken at the Swan public house, at Salt-hill, and part of the property found upon them. One of them, when taken, put the mote in his' mouth and swallowed'ii ; the other seized a redhot poker, and made his escape out of the h use into the fields but was found in a ditch, and taken by one of the Horse Guards Blue. - • i Late on Friday night, or early on Slturday morn inn, the public-house, the sign of the Horse and Groom, Portland-street, .was broke open, and robbed of a trifling sum of money, which happened to be in he bar, some spirits, and the le :1d weight of the door.
