'Ore Honourable Mr. and Mrs. LEIGH gave a splen lid Bali and Supper, last week, a: their beautil ul seat Stoneleigh Abbey, in Warwickshire, at which he rmit three and four hundred persons of distinction awe present. On this occasion, the superb suite of state apartments were brilliantly illuminated for lancing. The Ball was opened by the Earl of Cnot* OIL and Miss Leion. The supper consisted of every elicacy that liberality, taste, and elegance could ggest. At one o'clock, the doors of the picture lltery, and three other rooms, in which the tables ere laid, were thrown open. During the superb re. ast, , he fine band of the Marquis of BUCKINGHAM rayed select pieces of martial music, and national' ifs. After supper dancing was resumed and cond., tied until nearly five o'clock. The ancient part of Abbey was brilliantly illuminated with variegated raps, which produced a fascinating effect. Friday se'unight there was a sFlendid ball and sup r at Kiliane, county Kilkenny, 'the beautiful seat JoHN Pi.wcu, Esq. to which almost every family note in the county or near it was invited, and up uds of 200 persons sat down to a supper, compris ,g every thing that hospitality, taste, and delicacy, Id imagine. The night was passed in country aces and occasional quadrilles, and the sun was up fate the happy party departed from a scene of fes 'ty and enjoyment that left no wish ungratified. The original book upon which all our Kings from 'any the First to Edward the Sixth took the Coro. non Oath, is now in the library of a Gentleman in %dolls. It is a manuscript of the Four Evangelists. itten on vellum ; the term and beauty of the let rs nearly approaching to Roman 'capitals. It ap. ass to have been written and fitted up for the corn. anion of Henry the First. The original binding, hick is still in a perfect state, consists of two oaken rds, nearly an inch thick, fastened together with ut thongs of leather; and the corners defended by • ge bosses of brass. On the sight hand side (as the • • .k is opened) of the outer cover is a crucifix of brass 'able gilt, which was kissed by the Kings upon eir inauguration, and the %slide is fastened togethey I a strong clasp of brass fixed to a broad piece of ether nailed on with two large brass pins. Friday night the coach-house of Mr. Sam, South ce, Knightsbridge, was broke into and robbed of a ari e ry of articles. The coachman, on discovering erobbery, thought the thieves would return in the cad of the night to steal the coach glasses ; he in insequence watched the premises till about two 'clock on Saturday morning, when the thieves re red ; he seized the first on their entering, when 't whole gang, consisting of four well-known cha rters, attacked him - and beat him dreadfully. His 'its of murder alarmed the family of Mr. Griffiths, hose house is situated at the back of the garden, d Mr. Griffiths, his son, and domestics, got out of -, and went to the coachman's assistance. The ivies however escaped, except one named William , '..thews, who was secured.

The St. Leger Stakes, wiech were run for yesterday, at three o'clock, at Doncaster, have excited more Interest than any tact since the days of Eclipse, or the famous march between Diamond Hanibletonlan.. Immense sums are depending upon the event ; but the in'erest has not been wholly excited by the mar. nitude of the bets, a great deal o' it must be put down to the cc count of the circamoances attending Whiteltwk, the favourite. An extract of a letter, dated Doncaster, the i B , l6instant, says: Lyon betting was laid and taken here for the St. Leger Stakes upon Mr. Waets's colt, W'hitelock, when an egrets arrived among the "Hack Legs that something war amiss with him and minsediately bets were changed to three and four to one against him ; and, in or..!er. to inform the hosarnble fraternity in London. a4l tzpreis was immediately dispatched to them, that bets might be made accordingly, before the news could arrive.

Sir Ensitom has been offered several hundred pounds for his bet. Last week the Rose, Captain D. CAUCHY, and the Speedy, Captain Balm, arrived at Southampton, from Jersey, with a cargo of tile primest Norman cows. They brought also several Granville women, who attracted the curiosity of the Southamptonians, by the noise of their wooden shoes, and their paid colar cast of dress. They report, that both in Jersey and the adjoining French coast, the harvest has beeu well got in, and the crops most abundant. COVENT-GARDEL—Miss BRUNTON appeared last night, for the second time, as Rosalind, in SHAKS MUM'S comedy of A: You jig It. She bas improved greatly on her first performance. The commence. ment of the fourth act was marred by a riot in the one-shilling gallery, which was not terminated until the constables were called in. This circumstance em. barrassed Miss Rau/note for a few minutes—but her self.posseuron was soon restored, and she executed " The Cuckoo Song" very sweetly. It was encored.— Her delivery of the Fiat gue called forth, and de served, the warmest approbation.

The church was filled with a most respectable con gregation, who, after divine service, repaired to the great hall in the Hospital, which was fisted up for the occasion, with a rostrum in the centre fur the youthful orators, and benches for the accommodation of the company. At the head of the Hail ►at the LORD MAYOR, Aldermen, and Governors of the se veral Royal ll , ,spitals, who received much pleasure front the or.tti•ln% delivered by the two senior scholars of that Institution. The English Ora:iva was spoken by Master WM. TROLLOPE, the senior schelar of the English Grammar School, the subject of which was the benefit arising to society from the several Royal ' Institutions. The Latin Oration was on the same subject, and was delivered by Master GEORGE Jo iiV BROOKi, the senior scholar of the Latin Gi amnia? School. After the Oration, the Lotto Mavoit and several of the company, rewarded the two youthful orators with pecuniary presents, and departed highly gratified.

Saturday week, as the daughter of Mr. Skelton, slonp-master, of Hull, 7 years of age, was walking over a quantity of deals, on board her father's vessel, with an infant in her arms, sbe let the child slip, and in endeavouring to save it, both were precipitated into the river and drowned. Yesterday the infant son of Mr. BULLAN, of St. Martin's Church-yard. Strand, who was left in the care of his sister, during her absence for a few mi nutes, climbed to the window of the third floor, which was unfortunately left open, and fell through on the stones. He was carried into the house without any hopes of recovery. A few days since as J. STOOKEY was exercising a horsein Union-street, theanimal took fright and threw him, by which his leg was shattered in a dreadful manner, being broken in four places. He was con veyed to St. Thomas's Hospital, where a mortifico lion ensued, and he expired on Saturday. He had also received a violent internal injury. Monday week, in the neighbourhood of Dalkeith, as some men were at work on a new road, a bank fell, by which one of them (H. Baxter, a Serjeant in the Edinburgh Militia, and by trade a printer) was killed. ------- Tuesday last a shocking accident occurred at Mr. Wilson's, at Winshets ; as J. Riby, 13 years old, was driving a waggon, with cheat, in passing through a gattstead, the gate fell to, and threw him down, when two of the wheels went across his back, and he died within an hour. A labouring woman, at South Acre, Norfolk, after toiling some time in the field, laid herself down to rest ;11111L she was sleeping a toad fixed itself upon her breast—on her Waking, she was so much fright ened that she died immediately. Monday se'nnight, at Southampton, W.

He was dug out alive, bu;sutvived Q ui, till nest morning. A man and woman were apprehended at Little Waltham, Essex, on Monday last, where they had been very successful in passing forged Bank of Elig land notes. On being searched, a forged al no s e was found on the man, and some counterfeit ►ilver in his spoes, and four forged Al notes were discovered in the woman's mouth, which, it is supposed. she in- tended to swallow, but in which she was hided by the activity of the constable. who, however, received a severe bite of the thumb, as he was endeavouring to wrest the notes from their biding place. The man and woman have been examined at Chelmsturd, and are remanded. Comourat's INQuarrs:—An inquisition was taken yesterday at the blostague Arms, Muniague-street, before THOMAS ST1111.11:0. Esq.

THE UNVAITUSA I r J, VAN 11111 ponr only 19 years of a g e, convicted of what Lis beet called England's unpardonable sin," and now awaiting the execution of the law, by P premature and ignominious" death, powerfully excites the sense of pity. The strong emotions of the prusecutcr, ors hearing the verdict, st ill do him lasting honour. The duty be owed to his country obliged him to prose. cute. That fulfilled, his plea fur mercy WAS urgent, and his bean was evidently in his petition. The case is an instructive one to youth, and however it may terminate tor the unhappy object of this narra tive, it is to be earnestly hoped fiat the lesson will not be thrown away on those who, like voor Vartie, might be otherwise exposed to fata' temptati •ns.— Vartie was born in Westmorland, of very honest, though pant, and now almost broken-hearted parents. He so far profited by the esfuc:itioa they gave him, that l a sesame while very young a tutor to the children of a lady of title in the neighbourhood where he first drew his breath. Hopes of s , i‘cee,iing better hair the metropolis brought him to Graves. end, the Curate of which place was a We-tmorlanti man, and knowing Vartie, induced his friend, the ' keeper of a respectable boa-diog-school there, prin. cipally on account of the ) ontit's excellent character and gq.cid talents, to take lion as an assistant til something better should offer. Here, for considera bly more titan a ye.tr, Vartie behaved so as to enable Mr. Giles to give evidence at the Old Bailey, that "he was correct in every Set 52 of the wi. r d." Th e Gravesend Bank took firm as a clerk, without any other security than his goo!. charactsr ; and in their service also he conducted hio:sAf in the most satis. factory manner up to the moment of the act which has rendered leis litclorleited to jusiee. He was not expensive : he was of retired mid very studious habits he was in possession of every coastal! What, was, then, the cause of, such a failing Off? Two causes appear the most prominent. He had ceased to be re gular in his attendances on Divisse worship ; and whilst his mind was called off from attending to religions drities, a sudden temptation was thrown in his way. It is singular, that the object which principally occupied his time, and lets hem no leisure for the public or private offices of religion was the study of Hebrew 1 Whilst intent on improving hin i s t lt thus in k no w. ledge, he little suyected that he was weakening the defences ot his mural laity.. The nature or the tenotation to, was connoted wi:h his peculiar turn till improvement. He wrate a most excellent hand, equal, as many people &nerved, ten copper-plate : he could imitate very closely the hand-eriteng of other persons, and he prided himself iipee ii this faculty. The accidental absence of one to the Clerks ot the Gravesend Bra, gave Vartie same very unexpected opportunities, aad, at titis time, the Arch enemy of his peace and the destroyer of tits lite, suggested the temptation by altich he tail.— He escaped irons England, chanced his na:ae, and entered, not into the vertex dissipatiae ar but into a college at Abbeville, eugagiiii. for ta.e, years there at 425 per annum, for the purpose of in - proving his mind by study ! Utipractised in the world, and little suspecting unguarded custdritt, he wrote a narrative of los tlititet, leis change of name, and where tie had taken reiuge, arid sent the letter to a friend by the colimnn post. This. as those who know the world would 4. xi:ect, • prhcured his capture, and aided his cenviction. Aod thus youth, who l e promising talents gave lope that he would be a up to sing to socii.ty and an ortiament to his country, is by one act, cut off from hue , told de,arned to an early And disgraceful death The )outie, the inexperienc e , the invariable good character ote this Pion lad, i the fatal moment, will dotihri..s; be weighed by those whose province it is to venires jastice with mercy. The Learned Judge hum tivay yeroutise I the agitated and anxious ptoseceitur, th.,t his earnest intercession should not pass unremembered.

It is, b that I.e whesthinketh he standeth, sheet:id take laud lest he fall"—that youth and age, the most iten.cene and the most wary, have all daily and boualy net to keep in mind the prayer se suitable to out eon:mesa nature—" Lead at) net into tenipt,:tit U. •
