S.r Frederick Augustus Pageant, Baronet (Minden', bay. iu3, in consequence of the sudden death of an elder brother, surreeeled to the title and a large estate, escape s from the thraldom of a chew-shop in the Borough, with a more than mibilary sham of vulgarity, and !accoutre' passiunately ena moured of high titles and ancient nobility. The seld Gentle man 16;e+ a niece (Miss Cahill), handsome and accomplished, by whom he is resolved to obtain an alliance wills the peerage ; but the young lady has most perversely, though without her niii le's knowbdge, admitted a plain commoner cr. cooko la the undisputed possession of her heart. Mr Frederick, accompanied by his niece, her maid Martha (Mrs. Alsip), and his man Tien (Knight), as the Baronet expressed it, " all in the family way," takes a summer " trip to Ex mouth." in the hope of there meeting with some °moons_ nil y of gratifying his " high notions." amid thither Freuktio the lover, with Skip his servant (Russell), follow them. Skip, to 01)13.11 an innoaluctitin into the Baronet's house. ebsenises himself as Master of the Ceremonies. and while 14Q delights the ear of the Baronet with the promise of in. troducing him to some foreign Duke of immense wealth and consequence. lie conlrives to +misty a letter to the niece fermi Franklin, apprising her of the plot.

The trick succeeds, and the hirers are hippy. • • - • '!':Ls out l:ne is completed by an easy and sprightly slialognv, amusing incidents, anti some very pleasing IluN DEM and KNIGHT sung a very good duo on the charms of a subststitial dinner, &c. %%loch was loudly encored, and teen called for a third flute. These popular actors exerted them selves most ably and most successfully, and kept the house in rnars of laughter. Miss CUDITT and Mr. T. CooKE were highly applauded in several songs, setae of which were encored. The part of Mali/us was touch too trifling for such au actress us Mrs. Aisne ; she, however, helped to conceal its Ilussild. rendered the Master of Ccrvinutlics, and the latish Grandee, very unitising personag es. The farce ( w hich we understand is from the pen of Nlr. NIENDEN), was received in a most flat tening manner, and is likely to become a great favourite with the public. The limise, we are happy to state, was crowded in every ',art. The dress circle preolded a splen did iippearauc:•. DCK I. OF KENT. It is well know• that the circumstances of this excellent nice have tbr some years been much embarrassed, front debts that were el morseled at a very early period of his life, and that, in °Tiler to liquidate them, he has expatriated him self, and resigns d nearly the whole of his income to 50111 C ogly. respeetabl e friends, who have undertaken the manage ment of his affair s, and by whom lie is allowed a few thousands a year to enable him to live iu retirement abroad. By this con duct, so honourable to his character, a great proportion of his debts have been liquidated, anti the whole, within a year or two, are likely to liesettled. They originally amounted to 70 or 80,f 001. and have been reduced to less than unestbird of the above sums. By his marriage with the Duchess, who is an eminent pattern of every coajugal virtue, amid with whom lie Lees at A morback, in Germany, on terms of the greatest do. imestie happiness, a small addition wits made to the limited income within which he had been restricted, and without which, indeed, be could not have met the various expanses to which liis change of state, and increase of establishment, um.cssarily subjected him. The Duchess is in the family way, and expect. to be conAned in the course of ne%t May. It has Ix en generally expected, and as generally wished, that the arroirchentmet would take place in England, that the child might thereby become an Englishman by being born in England, hut the public will learn with regret, that this idea, which wa. the nearest and dearest wish of the hearts of the Duke amid Duchess, bas been abandoned, by an intimation received from m high quarter that such a step was wholly naneceseary, and that great offence would be given if carried into execution. The consequence is, that the patriotic wish of the Duke is given up, and neither his Royal Highness nor liis amiable consort will revisit England for • very considerable period. The Duchess', brother, Prince Leopold, has been on a visit to them, hut Ins return to England may wow be shortly expected.--( Keening Paper.)

The great match fur one hundred guineas aside, under taken by Mr. Hollingsworth, an Oxfordshire former, to do 180 wilco io 48 hours, was commenced war Ilford on Tues day morning, at he o'clock. The pedestrian took a circuit from Colchester into the liewesarktt-road and across to the Wooborn-road, and to finish between Si. Albou's and Don stable. Thirty miles was accomplished without fatigue at twelve o'clock, and after eating some leg of mutton chops, refreshed with sherry, the pedtstrisn did the other thirty mile' at eight o'clock, when be retired to rest entil twelve o'clock, and performed nineteen miles at five in the morning, when he breakfasted, and made another start at six o'clock, having dune four miles more than half his ground. He did twenty-eight miles in six boors; and at six o'clock is the cycling he had forty-seven miles to do in the next twelve boors. He did twenty-three in the next six hours, and he resigned near Market Street at three o'clock, through fatigue and lameness, sixteen miles from home. PEDESTRIANISM AND BOXING. Spring: 01111 Painter, these "big ones," an well known in the priz e -ring, are again matched fur fifty guineas aside by the amateurs of Norwich, but upon this trent they are to make the best rise of their (r et instead of their fits. Painter and Spring have been twice opposed to each other in the ling; and r both in tarn have proved conquerors; but Pain ter, in a init. of tire miles on the Essex road, defeated Spring in gallant styfr, when the latter then complained of waist of eoad.liva. Sptialt has been spurriap fur the last tee days, with Painter, at Nu. aich, Lo on, and Yarmouth, to crowded audiences; and the former is now considered as fine as a star, and is in eons. quench matched to run a mile against Painter on Thursday neat, 111 order to ascertain which is the best pedestrian. Painter is the favourite 5 to 4 ; and hefting is very brisk among the !provincial sportsmen.

On Tuesday last, after a diligent search, the body of John Marty w,.n found murdered und con cealed in is smell lake on the lands of Molitnio, at the distance of a mile from Dunmanway. It exln. lilted marks of the most savage mild cruel barbarity. There were two contusions on the head, the throat cut across, ■ long garli on the left breast, with se veral other gashes on the body, and aims, inflicted by seine sharp-edged ueapti. Fawn the informa tion hitherto collected, it appears the deceased (oho dealt in cattle, and generally carried some money about him) intended going to the late Cork Sessions, and desired a person with whom he was to trawl, to call fur him on the morning of the 19th ult. ut the house of Daniel 1114:artily (Sassily), of Motion°, who owed him scum money, and where he would sleep, saying he could not leave the house till called. The person culled accordingly, and was told he *era away in the night; after which lie was not sezii till found in the lake. The said M`Carthy, his son and tar) datighters, were on Wednesday com mitted to the county gaol, to take their trial ■t the ensuing Assizes; and though nothnig further than wrong circumstances have yet appeared, it is hoped the perpetralors of such a horrid murder will not escape unputlislitd.---(Curk Chronicle.)

The Court agreed ou • ocrulootinn, reque.oilig the Turd ?Asyut 's Chaplain to prrot his Serrano, preached at St. Lsv• reface Jewry, un Plough &outlay. COMMON PROSTITUTES. Petitions from the luhabitanla of the Wards of Airiest', Bisienoseme Cheap, Curnbill, Farringdon Within sari Without, and netsuke's, relative to the prevalence of the vice of prostitution, and of the emessity of row measures being adopted fur the suppression of boost.s of ill-fame, were presented and read, praying Ike Court to adopt some means of diminishing t h e number of unhappy creatures who derived their support from such practices. They were referred to the Committee on the subject. Mr. Davits t h e. brought.op site Report of the Commit tee appuiuted to inquire layp the snored of the grievance, and to suggest a remedy. The attention of the public had, he rejoiced to say, been most anxiously directed to this ob ject ; but Ise regretted to my, it was the opinion of the Com mittee, that the Magistracy were so incrssantly engaged, as nut to be able to render the assistance to the Committee which might be effectual. The Court, therefore, must de vise some means of abstilig the evil, and of course the misery of those, unhappy creatures who were the victims of seducers and distress. It was well knows, that there were a 'somber of houses which afforded couveirient access, and pur sued profligate practices is defiance of the Magistrates, and it struck the Committee that if means were adopted fur shut ting up those houses, the greatest part of the distress in the streets would be done away. He knew that many difficul ties would present themselves, but the subject was one that called upon humanity so strongly as to render any hesita tion iti attemptiug to afford relief to the miserable objects nothing less than a crime. Common decency, which was every mumeut subject to violation, also called fur the inter. ference of the Court, which wanted nothing to accomplish the object —(Applatue.) The Report was then read. It embraced all the points of the introductory speech. Mr. Dune said, it was really a reproach to some of the Wards to allow it to be of such long continuance. In Alder man Wood's Mayoralty the girls ailed to run tiff die moment the Lord Mayor's name was meetiourd, and the streets were comparatively clear of them, but now there was very little restraint. That some exertion should made was evident, bat care should be taken nut to make it to such au extent as to endanger our wires and daughters, or to create a precious increase of bastards.—(Some niurvertrfeg).—He llspoke of the differeoce between the passions of men like • true philosopher, sad said it wits the duty of the Court, if they intended to petition Parhameret, to propose sums means of removing the evil complained of. Mr. FATELL said it would tie advisable to have such • questiou introduced to the Honer, particularly as it was now engaged in the consideration of the state of crime. Mr. OLDHAM said the exertions of his Ward had thieve all the unfortunate women out of it, and he was confident that such evils as were apprehended by Mr. Dixon would not arise from the plan of driving them (sum public into private. Aid Wsornatao declared that the Magistrates did all in their power when the poor gills were brought before them for their relief. He was of opinion that the Wards might them selves do a great deal, bet a permanent abatement of the evil could not be expected until employment was roomd for those who were compelled to fly to prostitution for support. fir thought that no very important good would 'comb from an application to Parliament, fur the evil had its source in the general distress. lie knew it to be the fact, in many in stances, that if girls alio were at millinery work were not assisted by their friends, they would he compelled from the wretched pay to go spun the streets; mid he also knew, that in the majority of cases women took up the trade not from depravity but want. He should wish the Petition to undergo • debate, and should be happy to obey the instructions of the Court on the subject. Mr. JACDS said, the object of the City was to check the flagrant profligacy of manuera. Mr. HURCO3II said, that Gentlemen would have no rea son to complain of the boldness or number of prostitutes. if they would take the trouble to exert themselves, and not mind making speeches. Mr. GRIFFITHS said, the example of Alderman Wood should be followed, who frightened away the Laugh.) Mr. 'Lathe complained that no attention was paid by the Court of Aldermen to the presentment against a bad boucle is his Ward (Farringdno Without), and that they had said, if the Ward did out like such houses, they might pro secute them themselves. Alderman WOOD said that Ward was certainly famous for crowds of profligate women, who acre there as thick by day as by night. He spoke of the expenses of prosecuting hooves of bad repute, and accounted in that manlier for the reluctance with which the Aldermen undertook to authorise prosecutions. &illhi, it seldom happened that those who made presentments were furnished with evidence sufficient to convict the keepers of such bosses. He recommended active exertions on the part of the inhabitants. Mr. Dams, in his reply, said, the be answer to all ob. jectioss was, that the law will found to be inadequate. strong as it was, and therefore Parliament ought to be sp. plied to. The Report was then agreed to, and a Petition formed upon It to Parliaineut. A Petition from several owners of craft navigating the River, in relation to the state of London Bridge, was pre sented and referred to the Bridgehoinw Committee. A Killion was presented from Mr. Williams. one of the Attorneys of the Mayor's Court, relative to his having' Le 1 . 11 deprived of his right of a 144 at at the Swoi d-beai t.. 1 6, at the Mansions house by the Load Mayne, and prayive I. be reinstated therein, a hich being read was tudered tu fie slings the table.

KING'S COUNSEL Mr. Giffin Wilson, Mr. Nolan. Mr. Gaselee, and Mr. Gaspard, appeared b e low the bar, dressed in full-bottomed wigs and silk gowns. The LORD CfiANCELLOR addressed the three first Learned Gentlemen, and said, as his Ro)al Highness the Prince Regent, acting on behalf and in the name of his Maje.ty, had been graciously pleased to appoint thew severally to be of his Majesty's Counsel, they won'd please to take their seats inside the bar. Afterwards he addressed Mr. Gaspard, and invited him to take Ins sell inside the bar, in virtue of the patent of precedence he had re ceived. The Learned Counsel then took their seats in. side the bar. REGULATIONS OF THE COURT. The Luau CIIANCLLLOIt-' 4 I wish it to he understood at the bur that at the Sittings after Term I will hear motions only on seal days, and on the oilier days which I shall be able to sit, I will hear appeals. There is one thing which 1 think wants rectifying, which is. when Counsel snore on special circumstances, that a petition shall be put at the head of the paper. for a particular day, that it often happens it is put the thirteenth or four teenth in the nape!, making that which ought to be first, last. The House of Lords has ordered me to attend them three days in the week from ten o'clock till four. The appeals before them are certainly of great consequence, and bef.re thir ordtr was made there were only twenty-four or twenty-five heard in a year, and now there are upwards of ninety; for as the shop is opened oftener, the greater are the number of customers. I wish to give the bar every accommodation, but I must hear the appeals to rue ay Lord Chancellor, for they cannot be heard by the Learned Judges who preside in the other parts of this Court. I think it would be great con trenience to the Judge and the bar if the House of Lords would allow me to sit three clays in the week following each other with their Lordships, and then I could sit the remaining three days of the week here; for certainly sitting in each place on alternate days makes a great jumble in a person's head. I do not know that the House of Lords would agree to such an arrangement ; but if I should make an application to them for that purpose, and they grant it, I would take care that every person concerned should have sufficient notice before the arrangement was carried into effect." Slit JOHN HAYWOOD'S CHARITY. TIIE ATTORNEY-GENLRAL V. DULLER, the TRII3II TEE of the CHARITY. Mr. HART. on the pert of the Defendant, moved that the Accountant-General ►hould be directed to pot apart the sum of 1,3501. to stand in the name of the Churchwardens of the Parish, of St. Nicholas, in the city of Rochester, and that they should be allowed to teceive the dividends out of the sum of 41,900% paid in to the Accountant- General by the Defendant, the _ulster, and that the dividends on the remaining sum should be puid to the Defendant for the ►upport of the Crediton Charity, io the county of Devon. Tne circum stances were, that Sir John Haywood botineatlied a certain estate in the Isle of Sheppy for charitable purposes, and particularly meutioned the perish of St. Nicholas, in the city of Rochester, where he re sided, to partake. The aicestor of the Defen dant was appointed trustee to carry the charity into effect. It however happened, that oil 811 applica tion being made to that Court, it by Mistake al lowed the trustee to sell the estate in the Isle of Slieppy, for the purpose of purchasing another in lieu of it, in the county of Devon, where the trustee resided, which estate was never purchased, but the trustee erected a work-house or hospital at Creditor, witch cost 4,0001. In the year 1808, the churchwardens of the parish of St. Nicholas preferred their claim to the Court, and it was re ferred to the Master to consider and report whit part of the charitable fund they were entitled to, and he reported that they were entitled to Ltd. per annum, since which time the Defendant laid not appointed any paupers to the vacant situations in the hospital at Crediton, but allowed those par taking of the charity to die off, anal had paid the proceeds of tre estates into the Accountant-Gene ral's office. his motion, therielote, only asked that the accuititi!,,tiott of the 501. per /mourn should be put to the separate account of the parish of St. Nicholas, they to receive the dividends; the it sidue of the fund to he put to the account of the De fendant, he receiving the dividends, and Io be at liberty to till up the vacancy of ; wipers lii Creditor hospital.

Ile wa• tint M. structed to consent to the motion, but to inbuilt to any wider his Lordship tnight please to no.ke. It was ►rue that his Lordship could not now rec tify the mistake of the Court, as the estates %ere sold tti.der its order ; hint in the motion of his Learned Fitend there was nut one word mentioned about three schools which were fotioiled by the first trustee of the testatue iti Riellester, called Hay- r• . . %rood's Schenk No Oft of the knelled Veils 4 plied to their support ; therefore ha trustO, his Lordship would well (vilifier the circamstanees of the ca4e lwfore he wide any, order.. , Mr. HART replied. . . The LORD CHANCRILLOR observed, tit was of opinion that iw ought to send it to the Master, sod for him to report any special circumstances.

ACTIONS AGAINST NEWSPAPERS. Mr. ANDREWS moved, that the hill furnished by Mr. Lewis, an Attorney or this Court, to Mrs. Hamilton, should be laid before the Master to be. taxed. The Learned Counsel stated, that Mrs. Hamilton had employed a gentleman, of the mime of Williams, to act es her attorney, who became a bankrupt in the sear ISM He then recom mended Mr. Lewis to her, who had mot in ■ bill for 4001. on the ground that he had commenced twelve different actions, whereas Mrs. Hamilton declared that she had authorised him to bring only two—one against the Proprietors of The Weekly Unpaid., and a second, which was still pendirit in Chancery.—The Court granted the rule. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. Serjeaut Vauons a moved for a rule to shew cause why a criminal ititnrmation should not he tiled against Mr. Thomas Thompson, the Proprietor of The Leicester Chronicle, for a libel which at... peered in his Paper, reflecting on the character of the Rev. Mr. Vedder, a Magistrate for the county of Leicester. It appeared that a clergyman, of the name of Moore, prosecuted a poor man for stealing some potatoes.
