It appears by several of the Continental Papers, that the Princess of Wales has arrived at Constantinople from Athens. The latter plaec was announced to be the chief tilject of her Royal Highnexes visit to the East ; but from the dates of her progress she can have made little stay at the city which concentrates so much of the attention of civilised Europe, and where her residence might have been rendered agreeable by the number of English who resort to it. The purpose of her Royal Highness's expedition is, therefore, still to be learmsl. It certainly was not that of accorate!.y viewing the temple of Theseus, the Parthenon, or the Acropolis. The following instances of cruelty arc mentioned in the Brighton Herald :—A Captain Wombwell on Fri day drove a tandem, without changing horses, from Westminster-bridge to Brighton (u distance of 5'2 miles) in four hours and three quarters, fin a wtorer of 500 guineas.

THE NATIONAL REGISTER. DILIMATIC REGISTER. ENGLItili ()PER X. A new altarpiece called " Man in MourningAr Iliinsell;" was produced last night at this Theatre.. It is, we believe, im imitation from a I. reneh piece; and ' alapt'cd to the English stage by INF:. Peake, jun. The plot is of a promising nature. A young dasher of fashion, Mr. Frederic; T 1 unlash (Mr. Wrench,) with more spirits than money, having determinot not to marry a young, lady, Miss MotiOr (Miss Batle), with whom he had entered into a contract, that whosoever should retract from the marriage, should pay spreads a report that he has been killA in a duel, in the hopes that the holy will marry another in consequence, and aopeurs at Cheltenham under the name of Cap tain O'Bre.t-ea. He finds, however, that the real Caidain O'Brinen owed considerable sums at that place, for which his ass:rniption of the name renders him responsible. Nits:6llg with his chin brother (Mr. S. Short) at the same hotel, he explains h'et scheme, and in duces hint to assist in carrying it on, Nleanwhilit, his valet, Bob (Mr. Herring), who thinks his master dead, and who has inherited his post-chaise, and 2ttl. in Lush, assumes his name, awl repairs to Cheltenham, the laugh able caricature of a man of titshitm. Min. &trifle rum arrives at the same place ; and, after some adventures, in which the real Frederick Trimbush is arrested tin• the debts of O'Breven ; and Bob, fix those of his toaster ; the lovers arc reconciled, and t} :creditors satisfied by the joint securities of .11:ss S'arille and Sir C. Trimhush. Such is the plot of this little piece ; which, were it reduced into one act, would teem with bustle and amuse ment. As it is, the action drags too often. Many glaring huprobubilities also require correction. Mr. Chattel-1y was excellent in the landlord Fulsome.— Mr. Wrench sumaorted the part of Frederic Trim!oak, and Mr Herring that of his servant, with much spirit ; and in the rest, Mr. T. Short and Miss Poole gave com plete satistiaction. Considerable disapprobation was expressed towards the close of the tierce; which was, however, announced for Monday with the assent of the majority of the audi ence. COVENT-GARDF.N.
