The theatres were all shut last A correspondent of the Quo/Minute, adverting to the re_ collections which this event calls up, gives the following piquant anecdote, as one which has hitherto escaped all the historians of this disaatrons period —When the Royal Family, arrested in their attempted flight from France, were on their rshe►nfron %%anina; to Paris, The latiplitet leaving remarked co s the buttons of M.

A project has been submitted to the Government for esta blishing a basin multi. the Walls of Palk, from whence mer chant vessels may proceed direct to the Neel. A campany also proposes to establish a direct coi 1111 l unit:Atm by water •for the conveyance of merchandise between Paris and Havre. 'their Majesties the Emperor Alexander and the King of Prussia ate expected at Paris on the 24111. Private letters front Aix-14.011.1mi1e, dated the 15th, state, that on the 17th the Emperor will sleep atValenciennes, on the 113th at Man beuge, where his Majesty will remain the 19th, and on the 30th will proceed to Sedan. The troops of the three powers of the North, stationed on this occupy all the villages near the river La sehelle. There will he smite nianrenvres and sham battles. 'rite troops will then be assembled at Fa mars, where they will defile before the Sovereigns. Imme diately after this review the Emperor will repair to Paris ; it is said he will not pass more than a very few days in this ca pital. His Majesty will return to Aix-la-Chapelle on the 29th, to ratify with his allies the labonrs,with w hick tbe.r Ministers will have been occupied dining his absence. At Aix-la- Chapelle he will remain until the 10th of November, when he will sot off for Brussels. He will remain a fortnight, domesticated st ith the Empress Dowager of Russia, the Prince 'and Princess of Orange, the King of the Nether lands, &c. The Genoa Gorzdte relates the following fact. which affords another proof of the excess to which jealously may mislead the 1111=0 mind ;—" A man named Passadore, aged 36, who was recently admitted into the corps of Royal Caribiiiiers, being quartered at St. Pierre &Arena, had formed au inti macy with a youog female of that Canton. lie conceived that he had some cause to doubt of her fidelity, and all of a sudden his jealousy turned to fury. On the sth of October, at seven o'clock in the eve ning, he called upon her and thrust his sword through her hotly. He afterwards hastened to the barracks, and without any known motive twice discharged his , Innate* at the Brigadier of the company, who was in bed with his wife. Net being badly wounded, the Brigadier leaped out of bed and effected his escape. The wretch Men directed his murderous attack against his wife, and shot her dead with a pistol. Thus remaining master of the field of battle, with aumninivon, Passadore barricaded himself in one of the tarra,k rooms, threatened those who attempted to approach, and fired several times through the window into the street. A detachment of soldiers at length arrived, to take this fero cious villain into custody. The first of them who advanced he killed ; and wounded four others, two of them mortally. The next morning, as they were preparing means which left the assassin little, hopes of escaping, he appeared at the window dressed in the full 'form of his regiment, and after saluting the assailants, terminated with a pistol his own life and his crimes."

On Monday morning the first issue of the new Crown Pieces took place, not to the Public, but to the Bank clerks. Every clerk on the establishment received one, for which he had to sign a book. This coin willcornplete the series of the new silver monies. The obverse is impressed with the effigy of his Majesty, with the inscription Georgics 111. D. C., ecc. and the reverse has the figure of St. George encountering the Dragon, surrounded by the Garter. 'rue edge of the piece is marked in raised letters, with the words 'decus et tatamen," and the year ul the King's reign. The head of the King is modelled in the antique style, after the character of the Gs seks, and combines with the gracefulness of the design. the heat and most pleas ing likoess of his Majesty that has yet appeared upon our coins. In lieu of the Royal Arms, which afford no scope for the ing ty of the artist, the subject of the legendary tale of St. George and the Dragon has been adopted for the re verse, and is a well chosen and pleasing allegory, suited to the occorierices of the times. In the image of the tutelary saint of England, mounted on a spirited horse, and trampling is which has been booker' in the encounter, while the Hero prepares to renew the attack with the sword, is displayed sn übviiiiis allegorical representation of the genius and salmis. of Britain triumphing over the Demon of Anarchy and Des potism. Justly described as our glory and defence (decor sf bitumen) this beautiful coin will hansom to posterity a Hem d ut the great and brilliant events, which, under Providence baie led to the restoration of peace and happiness through. out the world.

It was ordered, in the mull llarm, to be entered on the journals. KEEPER OP WHITECROSS-STREET PRISON. Mr. Davies, in introducing a petition from John Piper, complain ing of loss sustained by his appointment to be keeper of Whitecross street prison, by the Court of Aldermen, who, in fact, had no power to make the appointment. was arAiollll to avoid every thing that could possibly be construed into an offence to the Honourable Court over which his Lordship presided. It was not for him to go .nro the question of the privileges of the Court of Aldermen. The Court of Alderman did in fact appoint the petitioner as a fit person, and no objection was ever suggested against hiacharacter or abilities. The transaction occupied altogether nearly sixteen months. Ile was to be provided with securities, to the amount of 2(0901. He was now left completely without any provision. The Court of Aldermen had discovered that they had not the power to appoint a keeper, but that it was the province of the Sheriffs. This was altogether as severe a case as had ever claimed their attention.. To sppointliim to this si tuation was now altogether impossible. Such had been the petitioner's respect for the Court of Aldermen, that although he might have pro cured the favour of others, he had not applied for it, while the Court claimed the right of appointing the keeper. The Court of Aldermen hadoffired 5001. as a compensation for his disappointment. This was a very inadequate compensation to a man who had held a situa. don of 6001. for 9 years previously, and who had been obliged to give up that situation, at an hour's notice, by the terms of this appointment. The Sheriffs had lately appointed a Mr. Thacker The petition was then read. It stated the facts already detailed. and prayed for 5001. now, and 2501. annually, as a compensation for his disappointment. Mr. Davies moved to refer the petition to a committee, with orders to report. The motion was then agreed to ;as was a further mein to refer the report to the Gaol Expenses' Committee, in order to consider wryer might be a proper compensation to Mr. Piper. COTTON'S WHARF. The petition of George Ware (as the Executor of Mr. George Atkinson, the late lessee), was now read, praying to have a lease of Cotton's wharf, Tooley•atreet, for 21 years after rhnstmas I SW, at the yearly rent of 2,3001. and 941. ss. 4d. in lieu of land tax re deemed, in ternas of the report of the committee on the 29th of July, 1818, which recommended the letting of the wharf to Mr. Ware. This report had been referred back for re consideration, which re solved on letting the wharf by public auction. Mr. S. Dixon proposed, " That the Court agree to the prayer of the petition ;" which after ax animated debate, was agreed to, with one dissenting hand (Alderman Atkins), and it was referred to the same Committee to execute it. LORD ELLENBOROUGII. It Is reported to be the intention of the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench to retire from a situation which he has filled for above sixteen years with equal honour to self cud to his country. It is remarkable that that Court, in so long a period as sixty-two years, has had no moor than three successive Presidents ; but all of these have brew ant ~w hose names reflect the greatest lustre on the legal history of Hit it Ella. The Earl of Mansfield was raised to the Chief Justice ship iu November, 1750 Loriliteliyon, in jit A r 1778 ; and Loral Ellen borough, in April [St a. Eminent as the two for mer of these Lead Judges were for their talents and virtues, their sneressor has usaiwatited the dignity of his bieli odice with undanniuslied splendour. tie has followed Ihe abolitions examples of his predecessors, an their most stalking excel. louses. It was remarked of Lord aandield, that from his first rooting to the Bunch, lie set himself to ii.tiodure rep,. gularity, punctuality, and dispatch in the 1111A111rhS of the Court, circumstances of inealvolatile importance to the public at large, and in adlieling to which L rd Elleithorough has Ithr*li au itidefa perseverance. Among the ninny es eelieni qualities of Lo►d Kenyon, his enamour al into grity, and his warns attachment to the interests of religion and vieue were especially observable and for these quali ties the present Chief Justice •is des. dly veneiated. Sir CliarlesAbbott, a pulsate Judge of the same Court , is named as his successor. _;s
