The absence of the Prince Regent will include a week or ten days, during which time all possible ethirts nre to he made to finish the interior of the Pavilion, flint the whole suite of apartments there may be ready for use on his Royal re turn—and, it is said, that this desirable task will be accomplished within the period specified.

EXTRACT FROM A PRI'YETF: LETTRR, DATED NOVEMBER I. ,* It is some time since the very fine statue of the Prince of %Vales, erected in the Royal Crescent of Brighton, a most characteristic fine likeitess, point ing the left arm to France, and holding in his right the sabre of Ins regiment, tilt 10th hussars, was so mutilated, that the left arm and the hand of the right arm were knocked off. Last night the same, or other evil-disposed persons connected with their, completely destroyed the whole statue. It is broken all to pieces, and the pedestal only remains. It wits said by runic of the bystanders, that it had been taken down on purpose, on account of the mutila tions, to be repaired; but said a man present, how can that be 1 it has remained several years so mu tilated : if it had been intended to take it down, or to repair it, it would have been taken down then, and in the day -time, in light, by regular workmen from the Pavilion ; but you must see that no regu lar workmen have been employed here, and it was done in the night, when even the moon was absent, and all was darkness and rain.—This I heard. I have since beet) to are it, in the midst of a shower of rain. The statue is down, and the pedestal wily remains. The statue is quite broken to pieces, and the lace in particular very much mutilated. 'flue nose is knocked off, the chin broken, one eye appears to have been broken by a hammer, and threats broken. It is said, that the nose was kitocked offsoine weeks ago: hut further attempts must have been [astir, for the breakage about the nose ittfresh White. The ex. clamation 1 hearth was, that whoever did this mis chief ought to be hange.l. In the morning, the itiliabitahts of the Crescent found a powerful well rope, by w Inch this immense statue had been polled down, by which it would appear the strength of • great malty persona must have been necessary fur that purpose." The Magistrates of Waterford, at the instance of their respected Chief, Sir JOHN NEWPORT, >lle about to begin a new House of Correctiou on the model of that now builtlitig at Bedford, and have employed the same architect. The following letter, addressed to the Convener of the county of Roes, by Mr. STEWART MAC.. KENZIE. gives that gentleman's reasons fur not at tending the meeting of the County : &shalt ov Castle, Nretbrr 6, 1810. observe in the /Reenters .Internal of yesterday, a Requisition signed by Sir James W.

Being myself neither an alarmist nor a radical reformer, do not, in the present state of the country, see the cape direr, of such a meeting. If summoned with a view ler de clare our, abhorrence of the blasphemies of such writers as Carlik, the condemnation would appear to be *ow uncalled for, after the sentence of the law has twee passed upon Sire baneful productions of such itifituated men.

If assembled to pro claim the universal loyally and peaceableness of the inhabi tants of Ibis hued/ern district, the declaration of what ia el? well known is, I think, wiinecessery, and calculated to do ourselves injustice, by ltuditig to create elsewhere mistrust alarm. W i th these sentiments, it is not my intention to attend the meeting on the 13th—though I would resist, I hope, as steennously Si any man Oise, the promoter of anarchy end l yield to no Mit iu loyalty and Zellialli Cliebisinsunksilil au to the genuine principles of the British Coristim. emu; or is highest reverence and respect for the religious sad civil Government antler • uich this cOrertry has enjoyed so numb Itippisets.• 1 have the tumour to be, ke. • . J. A. STEWART AIACKENNIE: To R. K. Mackenzie, Eaq. COOV.Seelf of the comely of AIM. LORD LIARM4ND. [Fro. u Pfter's Lai; r to his Kinfolk.") " There is still, however, one Judge upon the bench wh om iIAS a pleasure ill bidding. sue' look ;it, becalm-, in him, he enures me, may still he peen a ;leonine relic of the old school of Scotti►h Liwyere, nod tividtisli Judges. This old gentleinvii, who takes his tide lr en estate e;died Hermsnd, is of the Ayrshire family of the Fergissons of Kil kerran ; the same 1311,4 of which mention is lie qttei.t'y mode in Boron's Poem., our of whore um. cestory, indeed, wirs'the original writer of the cele brated. Whistle of Worth' about witch the famous song was written. Three joyons good fellows, with hearts c l ear of flew ; Crligdarrorls, so famous for wit, worth, anti law; And *forty Glenriddel, at in old coin.; And gallant Sir Robert, deep read in old whim Craigclarroch began!, with a tongue smooth an oil, Desiring Gleuricidel to yield up the 'moil; Or rise he would muster the heads of the clan, Aid once more in claret, try which 1 , 1'31 the man. &c. &c. in • strain equally delectable. Ile is now, I suppose, with one exception, the senior• Judge of the whole Court. for I see he sits immediately on the left hand of the President in the First Divisinii. There is sometliiiig so very striking in his appearance, t h at 1 woioler I did not take notice of it iu an earlier 'letter. Ills face 13 quite thin and extenuated, and he has lost moat of his teeth ; but. instead •of taking easy from the vivacity of his couotenunce, these very circumstances seem to me to have given it a degree of power, and fire of expression, which I have very rarely seen rivalled in the cousitenance of any young man what ever. The absence of the teeth has planted lines of furrows about the lower part of his face, which con vey an idea of determination, and penetration too, that is not to he resisted ; and the thin covering of flesh upon the booms of his cheeks only gives addi tional effeet to the fine, fresh, and healthful com plAtion which these still exhibit. As for his eyes, they are among the most powerful 1 have seen. While in a musing attitude he keeps his eye lids well over them, and they peep out with a swimming sort of latigour ; but the moment he begins to speak, they dilate, Hlll4 become fall of animation, each grey iris flashing as keenly as a flint. His forehtud is full of wrinkles, and his rs e-brows are luxuriant; and his voice has a hollow depth of tone about it, which all furnish a fine re lief to the hot and choleric style in which lie ex presses himself, and, indeed, to the very lively way in which he seems to regard every circumstance of every case that is brought before him. Although very hasty amid impatient at times in his temper and demeanour. and not over-scrupt.lous in regard to the limits of some of his sarcasms. this old Judge is a prodigious favourite with all classes who fre quent the Costrta—and, above all, with the Advo entre, at whose expense most of his spleen effer vesces. Ile is a capital lawyer, and lie is the very soul of 1101100 f ; and the goodness of his warm heart is so well understood, that not only is no offence taken with any thing he says, but every new sarcasm lie utters endears him more, even to the sufferer. As fur the younger tnernherr of the profession—when lie goes a circuit, you mac be sure, in whatever direction he mores, to meet with an extraordinary array of them in the train of Lord Heinlei!. His innocent peculiarities of manner afford an agreeable diversity to the surface of the causes carried on under his auspice'', while the shrewdness anti diligence of his intellect completely provide for the safety of their essential merits.— And Oleo, when the business of the Court is over, lie is the very • prince of good-fellowe, and king of old men ; and you are well aware what howl delight till young men take in the company of their seniors, when these are pleased to enter, bona fide, into the spirit of their convivialities. Ile has au infinite fund of dry, caustic, original humour ; and, in addition to this, lie cannot fail to possess an endless store of anecdotes; so that it is no won der his company should be so fitscinating to the young jurist...moil% In him they are no doubt too happy 'to have an opportunity of seeing a noble living specimen of a very fine old school, which has now felt little behind it but the tradition of its vie. toes, and its talents, and its pleasantries ;—a school, the departure of twiny of whose peculiari ties was perhaps rendered necessary in a great mea sure by the spirit of the age, but of which it may be suspected not a little liar been allowed to ex pire, which might have been better worth prism. iug than•much that has come in its place. It is not, I assure you, from alone that I hear lamentations over the decay of this antique spirit. It is sighed over by many that witnessed its (cautious ere they had yet come to be rare, and will long be remembered with perhaps still greater affection by those who have seen the last of it. relics is the person of this accomplished gentleman and exeellent Judge. " There would be no end of it were Ito begin telling you anecdotes about Lord Hermaml. I hear a new one every day ; for he alone furnishes half the materials of conversation to the young grouper of stc,ve-schuol wits, of which I have already said a word or two itt describing the Omer- House. There is one, however, which I must venture upon. When Guy AlaNnering came out, the Judge was so much delighted with the picture of the life of the old Scottish lawyers in that most charming novel, that he could talk of nothing else but Pleydell, Douche, and the High Jinkr, for many weeks. He usually carried one volume of the book about with him, and one morning, on the bench, his love fur it so completely got the better of him, that he lugged in the subject, head acid 'twill. deis, into the midst of • speech about sonic most dry point of law--nsy, getting warmer every mu went he spoke of it, he at last fairly plucked the volume from- his pocket, and, in spite of all the remonstrances of all his brethren, insisted 'upon reading aloud the whole passage for their edifier tion. Ile cent through the task with his wonted vivacity, gave great effect to every speech, and most appropriate expression to every joke; and webs* it war done I suppose the Court would, have no diffi culty in conteslingsthat they had very seldom been so well entertained. IJoring the whole scene Mr. S-4. was 'present. seated, indeed, in his officiatcapacity, close under the Judge. " Like alioost all the old Scottish lawyers, Lord Hernmasslietisi less keen in farmisig,than iD law, and iu the vtloymeut of gond cousgany. Formerly it was lo Jerd upon as quite inconsistent with the pro • per eh pacter of an Advocate, Ao say nothing of a Judge, to want some piece of land. the soperin teadatice of the cultivation of Which Might afford an agreeable, no less than profitable relaxation t • . from the toils of the rofession, those days it was traerstond that every lawyer spent the Sat uoday and Sunday of every week to the milder part of the year, not in Eili.ibureli, but it his farm, or villa ; mod the way they went about this was sufficiently Characteristic. In order that no time might he last in town after the business of the Court on Saturday, I the Layers had established themselves in the pri viltge of going to the Parlsamsnt House, on that morning. in a style of dress which most have af forded a most picturesque contrast to the strictly legal costume of full-dress black suits, in *lnch, at that time, they made their appearance there on the oilier mornings of the week. They retained their gowns and wigs, but every other part of their equipment was in the very extreme of opposition to the usual integuments worn in company with these—riding-coats of all the splendid hues, slot then as now abandoned to livery -servants, bright mazarine blue, pea-green, drummers' yellow, &e. but always buckskin breeches, and top-bouts and spurs. The steeds to be forthwith mounted by these embryo cavaliers, were meantime drawn up l in regular lines or circles, under the direction of iserving -men and caches, in the Parliement-close; anal no sootier did the Judges leave the bench, than the whole squadron got rid of their encum burners, sod were off in a twinkling—some to their own estates—others to the estates of their friends—but every one to some place or other out of Edinburgh. Although all this parade has long since &opt into disuse and oblivion, the passion for farming has by no means deserted its hold of the Scotch la..yers. Among many others. as I have said. Lord liermand keeps up the old spirit with infinite zeal. It is not now in the power of proles airmail people to leave Edinburgh at the end of every week; but the moment any Session of the Court is over, and a few weeks of intermission are put• in his power, he quits the city on the instant, and buries himself among his wools, and corn-fields, and cattle, till necessity compels him once more to exchange these for the " Weir, strepitwsque Roma." Even in the city, there is in his dress and gait a great deal that marks his Lordship's turd ettachinents nod habits. His sine kings are always of the true firmer's sort. with broad Stripes alternately of black and white worsted—and his shoei are evidently intended for harder work than pacing the smooth granite of the streets of Edin ' burgh. I confess that my eye lingers with very sin. gular delight, even upon these little traits lu the appearance of one, that may well be considered, and therefore cannot fail to be honoured, as the last representative of so fine a class." PRoSECUTION OF SIR F. BURDETT. Sir Frut.cis Burdett has received notice, that the Attorney-General has filed an ex qtfieio information against him for his Letter to the Electors of West minster.

Mr. PRILLIMORE, on the other oink, contended. that it was the duty of Captain Page Turner to have protected the property of his lowlier. particu larly when so afflicted. On Sir Gregory Page Tin ner being restored to his reason and his property, he looked with avidity for those reins nib, Joe,. of Lis family which were most dear to him ; fur idstance the gold watch and arils which hod been worn by his father, but they were gone ; 12 silver dinner- Coks with the arms of Page on them, Which had met the same fete.

The LORD CIIANCELLOR—•" This certainly is a ease of considerable importance, as it relaters to the property of lunettes. The Court always takes great care on the issuing of a commission that every ay. dim shall be paid to the protection of the lunatic's property, and particularly in such a case as this, where the Court allowed the lunatic's personal pro. perty to be answerable for his debts. On lookirg into this case, I see 4001. allowed to Mr. Harry Phillips for making out the schedule and valuing the personal property of the lunatic, which mount ed to 17,0001. and se guineas to Captain Page Tar• nee for his personal expenses in attending the vi. 'nation, and also 800/. allowed to Mr. Pinitips fur his commission on the sale, 19,01 es 81:1. fur making out a catalogue. Then, stirel . -.. those persons ought to be able to tell the Cour'. whether the articles said to be miewing were, in the first schedule, taken at the valitation, and whether they had or had not been :• time of the sale. There is another petiti.i.i, tI. it (.1 . Sir Gregory Page Turner, praying that Capial.i Turner should produce the articles, or lie co:l:taitz led to the custody of the Wardeu t::e Fleet riiion for • contempt of Court, the prayer of which I not grant, for if the articles had been in the posse*. sion of Captain Turner, and are not fortlicuminr, can only order him to pay the value of diem it•tlS Court. Therefore, let the Master's lepert be trot back to him to review, and for him to examine Caw: Page 'Turner, Mr. Harry Philips, sod sotch•uther persons as he shall think proper, relative to it' a articles not accounted for, and for Lieu 19 report the value of those that are not forthcoming."
