7'HE4TRICAL FUND DIYNER. A very numerous and highly respectable company assembled at the Freemasons' Tavern, to celebrate th e' anniversary of this institution. By six o'clock the tables were all filled, and at half lust six the Duke of York entered, followed by several lords and gentlemen, amour %limn were Lords Holland,l'eterslism, and Essex, Mr. Grenfvll, P , Sir John Sylvester, Mtissrs. Harris and Colman. The usual toasts and songs were given. Lord Holland, in proposing the health of the Duke of York, stated that he had by accident become ne g.:aimed with the late Nlr. Sheridan, who was an orna faent to the drama, to the senate, and to society, and tough him to the actor of the time, whom he found to be just and fair in their conduct, kind and benevolent to ore another, and liberal to all mankind. From this ac cinai:ltauce he became sensible of the value of the pre sent Institution, and therefore felt great pleasure in g'.ving the health of his Royal Highness, who did ho nour to himself by supporting the descendants of Mr. Sheri4lan, and who, notwithstanding, that his state of health prevented him from attending meetings of plea sure and amusement, gave his presence to a meeting of a benevolent nature. [Applause.] The Duke of York returned thanks to Lord Holland and to the company, and left it to Mr. Faweet to state t le great object of the Institution. Mr. Faweet, (his health having been drank) made an amusing speech on the intention and utilityof the insti tution. _ _ . Lard Holland again rose to say, that the subscription hook would be sent round, while the impression of Mr. Faweet's speech was fresh on their minds. The books were sent round, and Mr. Fuwect soon anconneed that upwards of 1,0001. were collected. The evening was spent with the greatest conviviality. The Duke of York retired ut 12 o'clock. Among the company was Mr. Kcan, Mr. C. Kemble, Mr. Young, &c. Mr C. Taylor conducted the musical department with great ability and taste. In the course of the even ing. Lord Hollanti gave Mrs. Siddones health, ns the de parted heroine of the stage ; and his Royal Highness af terwards gave, in allusion to the foregoing toast, the health of Mr. Kean, as the present hero of the stage ; hnth toasts were received with enthusiam. I•. Ir. Kean having left the room previously, Mr. Dent, as a pro prietor of Drury Lane, returned thanks, and mid, that the prosperity of both theatres depended on their Wrxnbon, ran.

TIIE NATIONAL REGISTER. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR JANUARY. The plants of Wheat continue generally in a flou rishing state, with little or no complaint of the slug or wireworm. The slight frosts have• made . the lands work kindly that were early ploughed, a considera ble breadth of Beans and Pease has been sown in the East , mt district. The Fen countries, from the dryness of the winter, nrc in a more forward state for thin Oat sowing than hes been known for many years. Cloverseed rises badly in most cour.triea. The Turnips continue sound, and full of present feed, but the early ones begin to run,, from the mildness of the weather. —.The Rape plants stands well for seed. Hay barely sustains last month's price. The Wool market it higher for all sorts. Lean Stock of most kinds is scarce, particulary for stock Sheep. The Dorsetshire flocks are lambing down kindly. Store Pigs are very dear. Cart Horses are much in demand, particularly Colts that are full of bone. Smithfield had brisk markets through the month, and prime Beef and Mutton are advancing in price. The general aspect of agricul tural concerns is improving, and, in eqnsequence, farms that were deserted are now re-tenanting fast, and the ralne of landed property daily increasing in value.. In the House of Lords on Saturday, the Royal as sent was given, by commission, to the bill for the repeal of the Act of last Session, entitled an Act for the re peal of the Hakim Corpus Act. The commissioners were, the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftsbury, and Lord Melville. In the House of Commons there was no business of importance. The Prince Regent in Council lately sent an order to the Royal Court of Guernsey, to prohibit the impor tation of French silks, lace, &c. into that island. After the order had been read in open Court by the King's Treasurer, the Court refused to register it, alleging, that it iniirtated against the long established customs, rights, and privileges of the island ; that the islanders had suffered great privations by the abolition of smug gling ; and that should the importation of silk and lace be put a stop to, it would reduce many to poverty and distress. The Court farther ordered, that a humble repres.mtation should be made to the Priity Conncil of all those circumstances, and praying that the order might not le put in force in Guernsey. Another of these sea monsters, the kidnappers of un fortunate emigrants, who desert their own countries fbr air-built castles in America, has given occasion for a public complaint of some of Ins evil practices. F. C. Mauzclmann, a Dutch skipper, put into Bergen in Norway' a short time ago, with '5OO German emi grants on board. The olds/ Gazette of Christiania con sins against this man the severest accusations, the notice announcing which is publicly signed. by J. A. Run, of Bergen. He states that the examina tion of witnesses, so fair as it has yet proceeded, afferds the strongest ground lor concluding that Mauzelmaret had the " intention to get rid of all these poor people," that he might seize their personal property ; and Rulffs further charges him with having already caused the deaths of above 100 passengers : he therefore prays the King, the Crown Prince, and the Norwegian Go vernment, to institute a grave scrutiny into the Dutch man's conduct. AN Awrut. DCATII.—The Bath Herald says—" On the 13 inst. a sheriff's officer event to the house of Peter Holwuy, a farmer, near Wellington, in this country, to levy an execution for 141. His wife upbraided Hoiway for not having informed her of his being served with the initiatory process, as in that case the expenses might have been avoided. In the cour.-e of her reproaches, she expressed a wish that he was dead. Itolway then• said he would go to his son's, a distance of about two miles, to get their assistence to pay the amount of the levy. Jog before mounting his horse, he took out his snuffbox, and presenting it so his wife asked her to take a pinch, which she scornfully declined, and said she wished, 'that he might break his neck before he came home.' This wish was unhappily realized ; for on re turning with his son, he suddenly dropt from his horse in a tit, and dislocating his neck, expired without utter ing a syllable ! A coroner's inquest has been held on the body, who returned a verdict of—' Died by the visitation of God.' The wife has been ever since in a must afflict ing state of wretchedness."
