BASTER FESTIVITIES, Ire. Yesterday the LORD MAYOR set off in state from the Mansion House to Christ's Church, in Newgate street, according to annual custom, to hear the Spital Serinon, which was preached by the Right Rev. Dr. HMERT MARSH, Bishop of Peterborough; prayers sere read by the Rev. SAMUEL CROWTHER, M.A. The Service being ended, a Statement of the Hos pitals within the City was read, as usual, of which the following is the substance: In Citruses Hosmar.

The BISHOP then entered the pulpit, and took his text from 1 Cor. ch. xiii.—" Though 1 speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass or tinkling cymbal," &c. &c. The Service being over, the company returned in the same order (excepting the Bishop's carriage, which followed the Lord Mayor's) back to the Mansion House, where an elegant entertainment was provided, DINNER AT TIM MANSION HOUSE. The Dinner was given in the Egyptian Hall, and , occur ied five tables, covered with all the delicacies which the season furnishes, and in great abundance, at 'which about four hundred visitors of both sexes were seated. Among the guests were a numerous assem blage of persons of distinction. The Duke of SUSSEX sat on the right of the LORD MAYOR. Besides his Royal Highness, there were at the upper end of the table, the Duke of LEINSTER, Lord ERSKINE, Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON, Lord DUNDAS, Lord Os sutsrow ; Messrs. HOBHOVSE, LAMBTON, RICARDO, Mum with other leading Members of the House of Commons, many legal and military characters, with nearly the whole of the Court of Aldermen. An ex cellent band of vocal performers attended. The duties of the office of Lady Mayoress were performed by Mrs. A. MORI', the wife of the Lord Mayor's brother, his Lordship being a bachelor. She wore an elegant dress of silver lama over white satin, with garniture of silver and rolio, burnished with blue; a train of lama over blue satin, which, with a profusion of diamonds, had a beautiful effect, and was most becoming to the lovely wearer: head-dress, feathers and diamonds. After the cloth was removed, "Non nobis Dossing" was sung with considerable effect. The first toast drank was— " The King," with three times three. " The Queen" was newt drank by the majority of the com pany, upstanding, with three times three, in the most enthusias tic manner; a portion of the company however sat, and there were some hisses, but which were drowned by rounds of applause.. Then followed— " The Royal Family," with three times three. The LORD MAYOR, in proposing the next toast, said he was confident that the feelings of his fellow-citi zens would be in unison with his own, as to the Illus trious Individual whose health he was about to pro pose. His Lotdship then descri&d, in a warm man ner, the services which his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex had performed to, the various Charities in the City, and concluded by proposing the health of his Royal Highness, which was drank in the most enthusiastic manner, with three times three. The Duke of Sysstrt returned thanks in an elo quent speech, in which he expressed the high pleasure he felt in seeing so numerous an attendance of States men, Noblemen, and persons of the first weight in society, to honour a Chief Magistrate like the present with their support. The healths of other distinguished individuals were given, and suitable answers returned. Nothing could exceed, on these occasions, the ur banity and polished attentions of the LORD MAYOR, who, in proposing the health of each individual, in troduced it by some appropriate and well-turned com pliment. At a little before ten o'clock, the Ladies quitted the dinner-table, and in about half an hour afterwards, the Egyptian Hall was cleared also of its male visitants, for the purpose of providing space for the evening visitants, who were congregating in Crowds, to enjoy the amusement of dancing. Long after midnight, visitors continued to arrive, and the morning dawned on their revels before the whole had withdrawn. DEDRY-LANE THEATRIL-The holiday visitors were entertained last night at this Theatre with the Tragedy of Jane Shore, which was performed in a manner that reflects much credit oa those who were engaged in the representation. Mrs. WEST, as Jane Shore, exhibited with great fidelity to nature, and consequently with a strong appeal to the human heart, the unavailing . repentance and submissive suf fering of the fallen mistress of Edward. Mrs. GLOVER, as Alicia, was deservedly applauded for the force with which she personated a part neither tender nor natu ral in itself, and which has derived its popularity from the talents of those who have appeared in it from time to time, and raised it by the energy of their declamation. An apology was made for Ma dame VESTRIS in the Afterpiece of Giovanni in Lon don, and Miss CUBIT?, who appeared as her substi tute, was well received. Mr. HARLEY, Mr. KNIGHT, and Mrs. BLAND introduced some songs in the course of the evening, not announced in the bills, and the %hole went off with much applause. Though the night did not pass over without some noisy mani festations of the hilarity of the season, the audience tvere,'more attentive to the Stage-business than is usual upon such occasions. COYEXT•G A EDEN TH EA T —L ast night, after the performance of the 'Tragedy of Virginias, in Which Miss BEAUMONT appeared as Virginia with marked success, a new Melo-dramatic Romance, Called Undine ; or, 77se Spirit of the Waters, was Produced, under the most favourable circumstances of theatrical display and stage effect. The story is, cour se , a point of minor consideration, and would lave made bin a poor figure if it had nut been for the splendid assistance of new scenery, decorations, and machinery. It is partly founded upon the Ara bian Nights, and partly upon the Lay of the Last Minstrel, whose Yellow Dwarf has been called into requisition, and in the person of GRIMALDI, consti tutes the most important agent of the Piece. Miss E. DENNIT, as Undine, was gay, graceful, and in. teresting, and like all heroines for whose hand spirits and mortals are contending, she had to endure many vicissitudes, and encounter all the trials of courage and devotion which are supposed necessary to the final attainment of happiness in love ; and it was given out for repetition with decided applause. ENGLISH OPERA-HousE.---Mr. MATHEWS was last night "At Home" to a very numerous party. If it be true, as certain Philosophers have asserted, that laughter is the chief characteristic which distinguishes man from the brute creation, Mr. MATHEWS is un questionably entitled to the praise of contributing eminently to promote the dignity of human nature. His description of his travels in air, earth, and water, continue to be as attractive as his former Entertain ments were, and represents a succession of humorous and ludicrous incidents which would be sufficient to excite the risible faculties of the most phlegmatic audience. ROYAL COBURG THEATRE.—ThiS Theatre was re-opened last night, and has been much improved during the recess by some judicious embellishments, and may be now justly termed the most beautiful of our Minor Theatres. It had to boast a crowded au dience, and the Pieces performed were received by the holiday gentry with great applause. The Perform ances commenced with a new Serio-Comic-Melo ama, called The English at Faris ; or, Events of 1821. In this Piece, a Miss EDWARDS, from the Dublin Theatre, made her first appearance, and evinced considerable talent ; she was very favourably received. After the Melo-Drama, the celebrated IL DIAVOLO ANTONIO performed on the Slack Rope, and much delighted the audience. The evening's amusement concluded with another new Serio-Comic Nlelo-Drama, entitled Michael Howe; 'or, The Ter ror of Van Dieman's Land. SADLER'S WELLS.-This Theatre opened yester day evening for the summer season, under the direc-. tion of Mr. EGERTON, of the Theatre Royal, Covent- Garden, and was not scantily filled by the revellers of Easter Monday. The Entertainments offered to their notice consisted of a pleasing Ballet Divertise ment, called Leon:and Lisette ; a Serious Nlelo-Drame, called The Mountain Hut ; or, The Tinker and his Son ; and a Comic Extravaganza, called Epping Hunt. The scenery in this Piece, as well as in that ' , which preceded it, was beautiful and new; and that part of it which represented that portion of Epping Forest from which the stag is generally started, had the further merit of being strikingly correct. By an ingenious contrivance of the machinist, a distant view of the hunt was also afforded to the spectator; and stag, dogs, men, and horses were seen crossing the' , Stage in that beautiful disorder which gives more gratification to the eye of the sportsman than the best regulated order ever can do. The different de gree of horsemanship possessed by the different riders was also well expressed by the different situa- , tions in which they were represented. Some were drawn in the act of clinging to the mane, some in that of clinging to the tad, others riding on the neck, and others quietly making a summerset over the heads of their horses, in such manner as rendered it most probable that they would be in at their own deaths instead of in at the death of the stag. This scene at tracted the loud and repeated approbation of the gods in the Gallery, who were noisy and uproarious, even to the fullest extent of noise and uproar allowed to them on an Easter Monday. The House was filled to an overflow. OLYMPIC.—The Proprietors of this pleasant little Theatre, to whose exertions the Public has been al ready so much indebted for amusement, have not relaxed in their efforts to deserve just praise. Mr. ALEXANDRE, the celebrated Ventriloquist, whose imi tations had given much satisfaction to various private assemblies, made his appearance here last night, and for the first time on a British stage. The youth and modesty of the performer interested all in his favour. His illusions, in the first part of the performance, and in particular that of the planing and sawing of wood, were extraordinary ; but these were greatly exceeded by the conversation, which in the second part he car ried on between three persons, apparently far . removed from each other, the master in a room, the performer on the stage, and a servant, who was heard to speak from the most distant corner of a cellar. That illu sion, which contributed most to excite applause, and deservedly, was reserved for the third part, and con sisted of the observations of a Gamekeeper, of a man and his wife. The bark, the whine, and the howl of a dog, and the mewing and sputtering of an enraged cat, were also faithfully represented. Considerable laughter was raised on the appearance of a John Bull servatit on the stage, who declared upon his honour that he could not speak French, for he had never been to Paris ; but the audience heard good French proceed, not indeed from his mouth, but apparently from his belly. The exhibition was over in less than two hours, and to persons who may wish to witness the extraordinary powers of the human voice it can not fail to afford considerable satisfaction. ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE.-This beautiful sum mer Theatre was last night opened for the season. The House presented a series of light but elegant decorations, exceedingly in accordance with this period of the year; and we are happy to remark, that the spirited exertions of the Proprietors were re warded by a most overflowing audience. The scenery of the Pantomime, called Hogarth's Apprentices, is very pretty ; and the Pantomime itselt was hailed with reiterated acclamations, by the more sedate as well as the more juvenile part of the audience. There was an uninterrupted series of gymnastic exercises, in the Pit and Gallery, during the evening ; but Easter Monday is always a privileged day fur amateurs. TOTIIILF/ELDS FAlR.—Yesterday this fair com menced, and the fineness of the day attracted a vast number of well-dressed people to it. Scowton's com pany exhibited the Magic Grinding-mill to grind old people young. Jack-ass riding, and the other usual sports, completed the scene. There was no gambling permitted by the Magistrates, but there were numerous swing!. A young woman had the misfortune to be thrown nut of one of these dan gerons machines, and had both her legs bioken. She WAS tarried to tLe Hospital. THE ARMY. A Troop of the Ist Regiment of Royal Dragoons is arrived at Plymouth, to replace the 16:11 Lancers. The Royal Marines appeared ye,te r day in their new dress and equipments, which have been ap proved of by his MAJESTY. John Gaynor, - of the 7th Fusileers, was tried at the Derry Assizes, for shooting Heal y Richards, Quarter.Master-Serjeant of the same regiment, whom he found seducing his wife. He was found guilty of manslaughter. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Na'w Yoee, Mises 24.—Yesterday afternoon a boat belong- 1 ing to his Britannic Majesty's sloop of war BANN Captain Bin- Loam, new lying in th e North Ri v er, having landed a number of Ladies and Gentl emen a t th e dock, who had been on board, the boat's crew, six in number, on their return to the ship, over powered the Officer, and immediately steered for the shore, where they all land e d, and made their escape.

Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Barbadoes, dated March 18;—" The Military Signal Post at Briton's Hill is furnished with Captain ALtaarars's Code of Signals for the Navy and Merchant Service, and communicates with all vessels which arrive at and call off this Island, and conveys the intelli gence to our Commercial Rooms, and it may be useful to make this generally known.

The Italia' Packet sailed from Londonderry on the l9th of October last, for New York, and has not since been heard of. A brig privateer, of 16 guns ; and a schooner privateer, of 16 guns, arrived in the Chesapeake on the 3d ult.

The Master shewed his light, and hailed the ship several times, to which no attention was paid, nor did she heave-to to pick up the crew of the smack after she had sunk her, but kept on a steady course down Channel. The loss to the poor fisherman is estimated ati upwards of .E5OO. Anatvan—At Trinidad, the James, Sullivan, from Belfast. At the Ilavannah, Thomas, Tait, from Buenos Ayres.

At the Circuit Court of Justiciary at Perth, on Saturday, the 14th instant, James Murray was brought to the Bar, accused of writing threatening letters to the Duke of Athol. By the indictment, it appeared, that in the month of July, 1820, the prisoner had written to his Grace, offering to make known, in a private conversation, a conspiracy, in which the Duke, as Lord Lieutenant of the County, was materially interested. His Grace accordingly met him in the porter's lodge, at Dunkeld, when the prisoner pre sented him with a letter, in which he stated that he had claims upon the estate of Soilzary, now the pro,. pert) , of the Duke; and that, unless his Grace would instantly give him the sum off:5000,ot a cheque upon his banker for that amount, his life should pay the for feit. In the letter he stated that he would allow five minutes for consideration, and that if the Duke did not within that space comply with his demand, the prisoner had two pistols in his possession, with the one of which he would blow his Grace's brains out, and with the other his own, being determined not to survive the want of his property. By the manly and decisive conduct of his Grace, it appeared, the prisoner's attempt was frustrated, and his person secured. The prisoner, a tall elderly-looking man, pleaded Guilty. Mr. URQUHART, Counsel for the pannel, urged, in alleviation of the crime, the obvious defect of intel- lect which it implied, and endeavoured to shew that there was no serious intention on the part of the pri soner to commit murder, who never doubted to ac complish his object by threats alone. Lord SUCCOTH, in awarding the punishment of seven years transportation beyond seas, represented the heinous nature of the offence in the eye of the law, and its pernicious consequences, even where the threatened violence is not accomplished—the alarm and disquiet it occasions to individuals, to families, and to society—considered the murderous intention of the pannel too evident, and that the steadiness and courage of his Grace alone saved the life of a Noble man not more admired fer his public conduct than his private virtues. The Mansion House Hotel, at Montreal, was dc stroked by fire on the 16th ult.—£l2,ooo was insured on the buildings, and £5,000 on the plate and furni ture, at the Plicenia Fire Office.

Tuesday afternoon, the inhabitants of Ragshot, Frimley,Win dlesham, and the neighbouring villages, were highly entertained by the regular exhibition of a most desperate pugilistic contest, which took place in a field between the Golden Farmer ahtl the village of New Blackwatts, near the great road leading to Ba singstoke. The combatants were Sled and Sylvester, who, though unknown in the lists of nulling celebrity, were, nevertheless, staunch Baghsbot moor-game, and fought with determined va lour. The Ant was a son of Vulcan, and the other a farmer.— In point of age and science the advantage was on the side of the man of iron, whose hard blows were admirably calculated to prove the temper of his opponent's knob. The Agriculturin, on the contrary, was a raw young man, ssithnut any pretensions to skill, and inferior to his antagonist in everything but height and courage. Notwithstanding this disparity in physical and scien tific qualities, the fight lasted two hours, during which 47 excel lent rounds were fought, and it was at length decided in favour of the Cyclops, by his antagonist having the misfortune to sprain his wrist. A handsome purse was made up by the amateurs, for the benefit of the champions, in return for the excellent sport they afforded to thefushionnbie A young man, named Codrington, was killed in a field in Newington parish, on Saturday afternoon, in a pitched battle with a man of the name of Cullington. They had been fiLbt ing two hours without doing each other much mischief, but it ended by the deceased getting an unlucky fall upon the side of the head, which stunned him ; and although medical aid was promptly administered, he died soon afterwards, from the rip ture of a vessel In the bead. WORKSOP, APRIL 12, 1821.—A third claimant of the property of the late GEORGE DONSTON, Esq..(dle property being claimed before by STOKEHAM Hum- WAITE, and a French Gentleman, named CHEVALIER, who married a liuntwAirE) came here on Wednes day last, with a Lawyer's Clerk, and Sheriff's Officer, and broke oped the door of the house of the late G. DONsToN, Esq. The Attorney for the Hunt- WAITE interest authorised the turning out by force of the new corners, and they were put out by a party in the interest of STOKEHANI HUTHWAITE. The third claimant, who is a poor man, out of the neighbour hood of Doncaster, then brought up a great number of persons, who broke the windows and doers, and again made forcible entry into the house, having pre viously lead over their written demand of possession, in the name (as they say) of the right heir. Srott. I HAIL HUTGWAITR'S party, who were in the hort_e, being armed with iron bars, and blacksmiths' tools of various kinds, laid so furiously on the assailants, that one man received so violent a blow on the bead as to die in a few minutes. Several others received contusions of various kinds, and a dreadful scene it was. Thus a poor, industrious, am' peaceable man has met a vio lent death ; a wife is beieft of a kind husband, and sir children of a father and protector. The deceased was a ma4ter blacksmith, named Godfrey. 1
