Her Serene Highness the Dowager Landgravine of lion (a rrincess of Lichtenstein), died at Frankfort on the night of the 15th inst. of an apoplectic stroke. THE PAR :s.—Such is the natural partiality of the British Fair to a Sunday promenade in the Park, that even some times *"The elements combined. with rude Boreas at their bead," will not prevent our fair ones from taking their afternoon excur sion, and enjoting the comparatively salubrious air of Hyde Park. The manifestairse of this 'determined spirit was never mute power fully displayed than it was yesterday; for, notwit'astanding the uninviting coldness and gloominess of the day, hundreds of " the; fairest of Geet.errature3" were seen displaying their beauties, at tended by admhiug swains, and a numerous cavalcade of horsemen' s and carriages were to be seen in the Drive. AGentleman at Cobham, who was out shooting on 1 the Ch inst. had wounded a pheas ant in a rou g h wood; in searching for which be discovered a wood pigeon on her nest: Thinking it an extraordinary circumstance at this warn of the year, he afterwards took a boy with him to the spot, who on climbing the tree discovered, to their mutual surprise, a young wood-pigeon, half fledged. OXBERRY, the actor, who has just returned from a provincial tour, had recourse to the Listonian method of filling the house oa the night of his benefit at Brighton, by reciting a 4 , Comic Satirical Address (written by the late STEPHEN KEMBLE, Esq.) in the character of Do tninie Sampson riding on an ass, concluding with a duet between the Dominic and the ass"!! ! This novelty at Brighton drew . a good house—so much for good taste. Johnson, the informer, is now travelling the country, laying informations against persons dealing in articles which require a stamp license, who have neglected to take out the same. itlonday he informed against. six tradesmen of Bath, for selling medicines without a license, and on Friday he was seen at Devizes. A HINT TO GENTLEMEN. —A Gentleman of property, being about to leave Southampton for a shot t time, sent his servant to desire his tradesmen to send in their Christmas bills, as money might be more useful to them than • lying idle in his bankers hands, and he immedi ately disbursed the same, observing, it gave him pleasure thus to anticipate the demands of his tradesmen. English travellers in Rome will exceedingly regret the retirement of Cardinal Go NSA Lvt from his high office, whom rumour has sent to Naples. He was much at tached to the people of this country, and as far as was consistent with the sacred duties of his office, joined the higher orders of the English nation in their amusements. There is a curious article in a Brussels Paper, put porting to be a letter from Vienna, which states that the Emperors of AUSTRIA and RUSSIA will, at their ap proaching interview, seriously consider of the affairs .01 the Fast; but that " nothing will be treated of be tureen Russia and the Porte without the participation of England and Austria, as those two will not consent upon any terms to have peace interrupted in the East, OR account of the conscquences which might result to affect the monarchical principle in Ent ope." It is added, that Russia has intimated to the Austrian Cabinet that 4* as it had been left free to settle the affairs of Italy, and the same liberty bad been granted to the French Cabi . wet with respect to Spain, it was just that Russia should have in its turn vennission to mauuge at its pleasure the differences in the East." Friday, as a corporal of the 25th Regiment was drawing the charge out of his musket, which was not primed, in the bat i ack-roorn, at Newmatket, in the county of Clare, it accidentally went off, d l an odged the con tents in the body of Thomas Doyle, private, which killed him on the spot.

SINCLAIR. di Protect me from my friends," is a motto which Mr. SINCLAIR may with great propriety adopt, for if anything could injure, by anticipation,. his fine talents, it would be the . absurd puffs of his ill-advised friends. One of these, more ridiculous than the rest, stated, that in order to prevent his voice from suffering any injury by a change from the climate of Italy to that of Eng land, he had the temperature of his room regulated ! And yet absurd as this paragraph was, it appeared in several of the Morning Papers. Such an imputation of effeminacy to a Scotsman is almost an insult, and so Mr. Sitsctma seems to have felt it, as appears by the following manly letter, addressed to one of the jour-.' nalists who had inserted the silly paragraph, with some observations upon its absurdity : " 93, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square. " Sta—As I am unwilling, like all other people, to be thought a greater fool than I am, I cannot refrain front requesting you to be lieve, that could I have prevented so silly a paragraph from appear ing in print, as the one which you quoted from last Sunday's Dull concerning me, I should most certainly have done so. Who could possibly be idle enough to write such mischievous nonsense I cannot conjecture. I should, however, never have thought of noticing it, bad it not unfortunately attracted your attention and reproof. So far from there being the slightes t truth in the report, you would find, if you could do me the favour of a call, that I have not even begun fires, and I should think myself a very unworthy native of Scotland, if I cared abiitut any change of season or climate, or were coxcomb enough to pay farther attention to my voice or health than common sense dictated as a duty to myself and the Public. s' As you have thought fit to lend your powerful assistance in giving publicity to the silly and injurious paragraph, accompanied with a censure of myself, which, were I really to blame I should acknowledge as just ; I trust I shall not be deemed guilty of any impropriety or impertinence in requesting you, at your conveeknce, and in any manner you think best, to exculpate me with the Public (whose good opinion is my bread) from being at all privy to such folly as I now stand charged am, Sir, very respectfull , yours, " JOHN SINCLAIR. " October 21, 1823." Count SOWN DE MONTALIVIT, Lieutenant of En gineers, and Aide-de-Camp to Ba r o n RoarAtrur DE L EURY, died at Gerona on the 12th inst. aged 24 years. THE NEVI MONTHLY MAGAZINE. —Among the va rious Articles of high interest, which are in course of appearance in the above popular Miscellany, none have perhaps excited more at tention than the Sketches of the Dish Bar, which are generally allowed to be entinently distinguished for their troth and spirit.— We have already had sketches of Mr. Plunkett, Mr. Bushe, Mr. &ludo, Mr. Joy, Mr. O'Connell, &c. and the next Number of the, Magazine, we understand, wW contain Mr. Serjeant Lefroy. DIBDIN'S SEA SONCHL—We firmly believe there is no " truly British heart" that does not feel a degree of national enthu siasm, whenever the patriotic words and appropriate melodies of this veteran's composition strike his ear; cold, indeed, and sense less must that breast be, which does not feel delighted with their unerring fidelity to nature, their genuine simplicity, or their moral tendency. We are, therefore, happy to see that these inimitable of Songs, which, as their Author trul y said, " have been the solace Sailors in long voyages,—in storms,—in battle," and which " have been quoted in mutinies to the restoration of order and discipline," have fallen into the hands of so able an Editor as the well-known Author of" Observations on Vocal Music." In fact, Dr. Kt:comes has both leisure and ability to do justice to the task be has un dertaken, which includes the publication of One Hundred Sea Songs, accompanied by a " Memoir of the Life and Writings of Charles Dibdin, ' with whom the Doctor was latterly eitterms of intimacy, and by whose Widow, ai the lust number of the work states, be has been assisted. Great rejoicings have Liken place in various parts of 'the Country, where t he Shares of the 1);20,000, drawn the 16th instant, were sent, and which were shared by o!ir old friend Btu*, whose luck is so proverbial, that the moment a L 20,000 is drawn, the first • question is, not who has sold it? but how has BISH shared it ? There are Two £20,000 Prizes now to draw, also Ope of £lO,OOO, and many other Capitals, all or greater part of which may be expected next FRIDAY,' and we have no .doubt Bum will. gtve a good account of them.

Mr. lkiwilenikas beating for a hare, in an .orchard belonging to Rowley estate, in the parish of ltomansleigh, Devon, when a cox was unkennelied from a bramble-bush. Ile went away in a gal:ant style, and the great space the pack kept entirely defeated the efforts of the sportsmen to stop them. The chace lasts-d seven hours, and the pack had eighteen miles to their kennel. It is remarkable that ' of ten couple of hounds which left the kennel in the morning, nine couple were at the death, and returned to SouthtWolton with their master. It was a very large old dug fox, and there was cold hunt. ing ; and perhaps, tang into view the length of the dace, the weather, and the country, uo regular pack of fox-hounds could have dune their work in a more masterly style than these harriers.

MARTIN AND DEM.—Martin has written to Defoe in the follow ing terms :—" Your having insulted me several times in the most unmanly way, and the only excuse you had was, you were drunk ; when 1 challenged you at Scvoggins benefit for twenty-five pounds a-side, you said it was not worth pulling your coat off for; by way of accommodation,J will make it for fifty u-side ;if that won't do, the next time yeu insult me in the manner you have hitherto done, you shall fight me for love.' if there is any fight or manhood iu you, name your time." The two matchas, between Grfffin, the Northampton butcher, and Harry Ford; and Thackray, a smith, also from Northaniptonsiere, and Flotr:rs, another knight of the anvil, were fought on Saturday, on Sleaford Moor, Herts, in the presence of many hundreds of fan. ciers. The Northampton men were matched for 20 sovereigns each a-side, to fight any men in England of their weights who had never contended in the London ring. The,first fight, between Griffin and Ford, was a merry slaugh tering one of six rounds in 24 minutes. Both turned to in earnest, but they were rather too eager, and after over-hitting, they got into steady action, and spoiled each other's features bySinashing round blows. There was no breaking ground or attempted manceltv re— both were at earnest give and take for seven minutes, when Griffin was floored by a stunning hit on the side of the head.

There was a good supply of most descrip:ions of Grain last week, but this morning the quantities ofCorn fresh in are only small,chielly owing to the farmers having of late been so much engaged in operations as to prevent their thrashing out much of this year's pro duce. The small quantity of fine Wheat that appeared for sale occasioned more money to be asked for such samples. and the prices of this day sennight were fully obtained for them; but other kinds did not meet so free a sale. Barley for malting is again rather dearer, and grinding parcels sell freely at last quotations. Brans meet buyers readily' at present, and ate rather higher in price. Boiling Peas support the terms last quoted. Grey Peas are Is. per quarter dearer. There is not muoh business doing in Oats, but last week's rates are fully maintained for this article. Flour is unaltered.
