A few minutes betiJe five, TheW 141 AJISTIII, and Prin. cesses Auoutra, F.r.tzantrir, and Mast, arrived. to theigreat gratification of the inhabitants. The windows and streets were filled, and they were re , °i ce d w;th huzzas and every demonstration of joy. Their MAJLITIIS went to bed. Soon after nine o'clock Ills MAJIST T rose, and, after breakfast, came nut of the Lodge, accompanied by the Duke Of CUM BLitt A ND.

Although the weather has been so very unfavour able, very few houses remain undisposed of, and the Wells have every promise of a fine season.

On Tuesday last the paper-mill of Mr. BUTTtN. SHAW, at Great Packham, was struck by a flash of lishrninF, and materially injured. On 1 hursday afternoon, about three o'clock. as the Steward and Housekeeper of the Earl of °scary were travelling in a single horse chaise over Lawn Downs, Becifordshire,they were sopped by a young hig'astrayman, genteelly mounted on an exceedingly gond bind hone.

This daring robber has been committing depreda tions in the day time near Stoney Strafford, and in various other pasts of that country fur son-it time past. Late last Tuesday night, or early an Wedues lay morning, the chambers of Mr. 1.1! CELT. in Fg tree.court.

This was an anion upon a 3ill of Exchange, for 601. which being proved in the usual form ; The Sotici rox-GEN It AL, for the Defendant, stated, that the parties were nearly related by mare ridge. The Plaintiff and his late father set sail fromil Greenwich, in two fishing smacks, for the co'tst Scotland, and a storm coming an, the former made for a safe harbour ; but the latter, whose smack w the stronger of the two, determined to brave the storm, and was lost in the attempt. and the ship wrecked on Pentland Firth. The Defendant went down to Scotland, and found the wreck in the pos session of the Plaintiff, who afterwards sold her. The Defendant having a share in the vessi•l, the Plaintiff demanded 601. for salvage, and the former accepted a bill for that sum ; the Plaintiff giving him an agreement at the same time, stipulating that if the deceased father had made an equal di vidend of his property in his will among all his children, and that no influence had been made lase of, then the bill to be void, othlrwise to stand in full force. The agreement being produced and proved, Lord Ea cam swim:G/4 thought it a sufficient defeazance to the bill ; the Plaintiff was, accordingly, nonsuited. -■LAILAMD 9._SOUSIILCD:I This was'an adtion for 41. 12s. the amount of an Apothecary's bill.

Elisabeth Taylor was capitally inliieard for steal ing privately from the person of Mrs. Monk a one pound note. halt a guinea, and two seven shilling pieces. It appeared that the Prosecutrix, in going through Bishopsgate-street, was accosted by the Prisoner, who observed to her that her petticoats were loose, and lik-ly to fall &oars ; at th e same time:b-gged to be allowed to pin them up. The Prosecutrix, pleased with the young girl's pretended kindness, expressed the greatest thankfulness, and the Prisooer procced ~id is the petticoats. While she was per forming this orrice, the Prosecutrix felt her hand in her pocket. and immediately after miss her pocket-book, she accused the Prisoaer Hvith bang guilty of the theft; but the latter denied it positively, and w.th the greatest promptitude vivo a diredion to Cock-alley, where she said the lived. At this place the Prosecutrix, in a `dart time after, made enquiry for her, but was in formed no such person lived there. Sie, however, having a perfect r-colletion of her p non, d.s-,0. unrest her in the neiglabourhoad, and had her ap prehended. The Prisoner stated, in her defence, that she had been at the time of the transaftinn in St. Clement's workhouse, but did nut call any wit ness. to prove the fad. The Jury. atter hearing the oSservations of the RECOIIOgR as to the law of the case, found her Guilty of stealing only. The Prisoner was not more than 14 years of age; but it appearing that this was not her first of. fence, the /taco sues toll her, she should not remain kng in this country. was indicted for borllariouslT and sacrilegiously breaking and entering the parish church of Wilsilon, and stealing thereaut a bsble, two prayer hooks, and a bunch of keys. It appeared from the evidence of the clerk of the parish. that he locked the church door one Sunday the 26th of May, leaving the books and keys in it. On the Tuesday after, at five in the morning, he was informed the church had been broken open, and on going there missed the property. James Livermore deposed, that he saw the Pri saner on the .7th of Alas., at five in the evening. looking in at the church windows, as if he wanted to see the best mode of getting in. It was then clearly proved that the Prisoner sold the books on the 28th to a man in Broad-street; and when he was apprehended, the bunch of keys were found in his room. Mr. Justice La waitron! observed, that there was Do evidence of the time the Prisoner broke into the church, and he could therefore only be found guilty of larceny. The Jury accordingly found him Guilty of steal , ing. He was again indided for a similar offence in the parish church of Kingsbury ; hut, as none of the witnesses could speak to the exalt time the offence was committed, ' Mr. Justice L A waxmca dire.feJ the Jury to find the Prisoner Guilty of larceny only. Courage and humanity, the predominant features in the British cnitrAfter, shine so conspicuously throughout the correct representation of the late glorious atchievement of the La Loire, which is given in The Foiii-th of.lane, or Maros Bue, at the Roy• t.
