QuEE.N. sQuAuc. MORRIS Da 'wens. —Thursday, J. Cadman, R. Fowler, W. Fowler, E. Herhert.and live others, were brought before the Magistrate, by Benjamin-F. Ce.pper, Esq. of the Alien Office, under the fintowing eirenmst.illCCs It appeared from the statement of Mr. Capper, that these . nine men, who w‘esti decked out in all the colones of the lain bow, made their- appearance before the doors and windows of the AliestOffice, in Crown-street, Westminster, dancing in their usual grotesque way. In a few minutes a great crowd was collected, and Mr. Capper having beard of some moms dancers who had aunoyed different neighbourhood:: about town, thought. as they were neat the office, it untild be right they should see the inside of it, and hear what the Ma gistrate would say to them. Mr. Fielding told them they had committed a great breach of the law in thus arraying themselves ; that they were amena ble as vagrants, and as such. liable S 4 be stilt to prison. He Ciserved, that on a paper, in front of one of their hate, was written—" Colliers from Shropshire." It wont,: grieve him, he said, particularly at the present moment, to deprive the harvest of the exertions of Mae such stout young active lads es they appeared to he ; but he lutist do his duty, and, how ever pai n f u l to his feelings, put the law in force, unless they would solemnly promise him, alum their word of honour, that they would leave town immediately by two different carts, • four in one party and five hi the other; this they very rea dily promised to do. Mr. Fielding then asked them what money they had about them. They emptied their pockets, and their whole store was found to amount to about gs. in halfpence. He then asked them how much they had earned a Jay since they arrived in town ? They answered never more than 2s. a day. Mr. F. also intlicined them, they must immediately disrobe themselves of all their fantastic finery, give up their " spirit stirring ilium," with all their other implements ofanorris dancing mystery, of all which they immediately. divested themselves, and they were given in charge to the officer present. Thus restored to a stater f natural appearance, they !naked like si hat they really were, stunt well made, and some of . them rather handsome young men. Mr. Fielding then informed them they must leave town during the day, and widens oer to obtain employment at the first place they could meet with it, mid those who could not . get it, most make the best of their way in search of it in • knottier place, and, in order to make them soirewhot more easy on turning their Aces towards.their run; ve county, he would,(not doubting but they would keep their words, which they had pledged 1, order them to be paid halt' a crown each to cheer them on their way. The (;Spiel was tiltAl di sired to give them half a erawn each, aid they departed, utter very se-peettelly returning the Magistrates their thanks for the kind treatment they had met with. CONT/t %BAND Gooo3.—The Butler of a Gentleman, resi ding in (irosvernouplaace, was 51/111111011ed before the sitting. Magistrates, to answer au information laid a.gainst him by -John Oliver Boys, an officer of the Excise, for basing in his • Kr:session and concealed in hi apartments nine remnants of foreign silks, three silk shawls, time gown !;eves, and twenty ti%e pairs of fureig t gloves. -The defendant said he would not take up the time of the (an it, ky desiring the officer to go thi °ugh the ceremony of proving his case. lie had, no doubt, hi:elite/opted, when hi France with his master's family to embark his money alma this hazardous speculation, the int. prodenee and folly of which he was now very so:iodide of, and he was estremely sorry he had so severely burnt his fingers. lie should, therefore plead guilty to the charge. • The Magistrates adjudged him to flay. only the mitigated pewit). of one half, which W 45 18i: ;S. 3d. witho u t rile, NA' UNION Ii U.L.

ON THE AFTERNOON WORSHIP. •Great. complaint has been lately made by some re spectable Divines of the Church, of the great inatten tion to the Sunday afternoon Service ; they have very wisely recommended a renewed regard to this duty, as calculated. ti r many who may be prevented from their attendance at Church in the fwenoon, and who if they do not embrace this second opportunity, too often pass this sacred day as u mere holiday. Some of our Churches and Chapels are very fully attended in the ufterneon ; and more especially in the evening, where the• Lectu rer is often zealous and attractive in his natter -and manner. This shews that there is no want of zeal in the people where they find it in their Minister. It is gratifying to observe this Religious Union wherever it is found, as it greatly tends to promote the feßowship of the Gospel among us. " It is," says Mr. Stevens, in a note to his first sermon page 5, "grati'i•ing to observe the number of young persons who constantly attend Divine service tibeafternoon at St. Margaret's Church This voluntary act, in many instances uninterested, and proceeding from a conviction of duty, and a sense of real piety, deserves every encouragement which the Christian Minister can give it. It has become he adds, too much aTashion to abstain from returning to the house of prayer a second tituc on the Sabbath day ; too much a prevailing delusion, that the devotional tribute 43 abundantly paid, when the morning service is at an end. That this evil fashion and this dangerous delusion may soon pass away, and the wise ordinances of our pious forefathers may be more strictly and religiously ob served, must ever be the fervent prayer of all good Christians' We concur mitirely with this fervent wish, and we cannot but rejoice at the great prospect of its accom plishment in the above mentioned and many uther plums of worship. ACCIDENTS, OFFENCES, 4c. On 'Thursday. as J. Clarke, Fop of Windsor,- was standing in the paved yard behind his home, the ground suddenly gave way, and precipitated him into a well, the existence of which was unknown. Providentially his feet rested on a transverse beam, and lie was res • cued from his perilous situation. Some buildings which run along the back of blunter-street, Bruns wick-square, on the west side of the street. and which have been occupied as lofts and stables by a job-coachman, were so wretchedly built. as to be incapable or supporting the roof, which fill in on Tuesday afternoon, with an alarming crash; mart ofshe walls towards the rear of the houses 29, 30, and 3t,.in lianter-etreet, was carried away, and broke in some of the lower apartments of those houses, tilling their back premises with the ruins. The fraudulent and un substantial manlier in which many of the buildings in the new parts of London are run up. is a consideration well worth the notice of the legislature. Experience shows thut the lives of individuals are neither guarded with sufficient care by the honesty of those who build houses, nor by tie vigilance and caution of those, whose business it is to survey them. On Thursday se'nnight, soon after 10 o'clock in the mowing, Manchester was visited by a very serious and violent dercentad hail stones of an awning size. The electric fluid has left awful imprts siontruf it; kiebtructiv.: powers ; at PeneCcten, twoanen, of the names of J.' Armitage and J.

In Sil ver-stn•rt (Newton-street). the gable end r.f a house war s:ompletely thrown down ; and in the vicinity of Kersal, four-men severely tilt the effects of the tremendous shocks.

The Regent's Canal, from Paddington to' the Themes, has lung been at a stand still for want of means ; at a meeting of the proprietors, Wednesday, a new subscrip tion of I 10,0001. was instantly .filled up, and the Exl chequer Bill Commissioners having promised to ad va uc e the money, the work; %yin again he in full ac tivity towards the completion of the project.

Shine doubts have been entertained of its authenticity, but fin what reason we know not; at the time it purports to have been deliverea in, Buonapurte was in the Island of Elba, maturing, a • plan fur his. return, and in confident expectation oftliat-orent ; that his wife, therefore, should he made instrumental in urging the claims of her son, will not appear surprising. Aticr a review of the claims of Buunavarte to, the throne of France, in which, to the confusion of the enemies of lagiiinutcy and Divine right, these doctrines are boldly maintained, it proceeds and concludes thus:— " A fatal war broke out. The Emperor Napoleon was overcome. You, Sovereigns assembled in Congress, arrived in his capital at moment. when favoured lay disorder, a conspiracy manifested itself in favour of the princta of the House of Bourbon. You might have dictated to Napoleon in his capital. tech terms as were talculated to restore a due balance between Powers. you would thus have consoli dated intitutions, whence arose the common strength and the cont. uani F.efety. This Treaty would have been faithfully observed; we have a hill confidence thereof. " Intluenced by the gmerotts hope of putting aspeedier end to the evils of war, and of sparing the on of blood, you put aside the rights of the Emperor Napoleon—you treated with those Princes to whom the conspiracy had given the Crown; what lustre could such Princes shed upon Beyalsy ?—The Emperor Napoleon at the hesdof at army not nunteroas. b4t brave and faithful, might have defended hi; enure; but to spare his...subjects a civil war, he had already re. solved to abdicate in ,furesir of kis sun. Such was his determination nianifestd to the A,llitxl Powers by the Dukes uf Tarentutm Vicente', and the Prineede la Moskowa, .which determination those Powers viewed at first• in its right light; that is, as calculated to severe the tranquillity of. Europe, , Events which it belongs not to us.toleha racterise, caused those just resolutions to be revoked. The Emperor was obliged to sign se .unconditional abdication on the 1 ith April, !hit; on the same day he subscribed the Treaty of Personal Sqfily. which, maintaining his title of Emperor, assigned to him the Island of Elba as his place of abode, and confirmed to him the sovereignty over its territory. " The sth article of the same Treaty assigned to me the sover eignty of the Estates of Parma, transmissible to my son and his descendants. " I will not discuss the merits of these Tyeatise in respect of the -Ciimt.ror Napolton. They are more or less binding on him, in pro portion as he exercised his will mom or lc s freely in signing them. We will simply say, that he had not the power of dimosing, after his life,•of the Cruv:n which his son received as his birth-right from the -Frent h nation and its constitutional laws. .` If, the Sovereigns of Frame. no more then the.other principal -sovereigns of Europe, have never been able to break through the established rule of succession in their own families, so as to transmit their Crown to their second or third son, to the prejudice of their lint born, how comes it that the Emperor Napoleon should be able to deprive the Prince Charles FrsuxisNapoleon of his right of inherit ance, in order to transfer it into fortignhands ? Can a conspiracy have destroyed, by . its irregular acts, theforce sod virtue of the laws of the French Empire ? Can it have destroyed the royalty which the Prince. my son, holds ofilivine , as well as national right P The Princes whom this conspiracy has put upon the throoaof my atm. fully admitted these principle themselves, when they refuse' to acknowledge the acts of the goverment, styled provisional. Ten years of free govern ment, acknowledged by all the powers in Europe, at a time w h en the name of floor l aparte was not yet inscribed in the =mils of war.—fif eeri years existence of, an Empire, the social conventions of which establish the rights of , the Emperor Napoleon, and tbose.of his dy nasty, rendered indisputable the legitimacy of his Crown. " When, during my residence at Blois, .1 exercised the authority of Regent, I appealed to the devotion of Frenehmen. I received the siroweest tesji: fi onies of their love and real for the cause of their la, inmate Prince.. The presence of your armies, and the tendency.of your policy, forbade me to rewind to die wishes of that faithful nation. •• The fate of nations being submitted to your.award. your object will, so doubt, be to conciliate their rights and wishes with the rights and interest of Sovereigns. Circumstances hare deprived my son of his Sovereignty over the. French nation, . and both himself and this neople are equally injured in their rights by this fatal result of the late course ot events,' In this state of things, we, in .our quality of Empress and of Mother, and before any authentic resolution be taken by the Congress, protest, by the present dead, against all acts of the existing government of France, which has been established to de prejudice of the legitimate Heir to the throne. We protest, likes ise, in our own name, as well as in that of the Prince Charles Franc.. Napoleon, pronnuptive heir to and possessor by right of the French Crown, against all resolutions of the High Powers assembled at Con gress. whether taken collectively or individually, and tending to im pair the rights of the Prince my Son to the said French Owen. "Fhe Throne of the Prince Charles Francis Napolecials that raised by the French nation, such as existed at the time when its choiee.and election called the Emperor Napoleon to the Head of its goverrtniesat. But if, in the arduous straggle in which it hat begat engaged, the French Empire hat ocen constrained by the force of arms to sign the Treaty of Paris, we think it just, inasmuch as re spects the territories not forruips; part of present France. that the cundiucns thereof be faithfully anti for ever observed. To this end we here declare, that the present Protest_olely applies to the ill occupatien of t hat territory of Fiance, conshtuung the pretient ,310, narchy. •• Having thus developed her claims, the Empress Maria Louisa, Antdueitusi of Austna,• Duchess of Parma, &c. representing the Prince Charles Francis Napoleon. her Sin, a minor. .requests of the justice and magnanianity of the Allied l'owers • that the subject of her claims be submittal to the deliberation of Congress; and that an ocknowledgment of the present Protest be delivered unto her, in order that she may produce it whenever it ma; please Divi,ne Providence to atiOrd her time and place for that purpose. infaith of which, and to Ift,ve all due ....othenticity to the present Protest, she has affixed to it hen seal, anti written it in her own hand at the Palliest:4' Sehoenbrun, Feb. 12, 1815.
