g 4 G( roe! War man kalY; t oft t• leo us do at, ill Satur• h Tbe- a to the Friday x white idy yel• to wife, and I for THE EMPEROR . OP "urn • . A most superb saddle, . with suitable horse furni ture, is now making at Atte'', opposite to South .aalpton-street, in the Strand. for the Black Em peror, De:salines, whose arms are richly emblazoned on the housings. The saddle, which is of exquisite workmanship, is covered with red Morocco, beau tifully stitched and ornamented with yellow silk.— The trappings are of the finest scarlet cloth, adorn ed with broad silver lace, massy tassels, and a deep fringe. The holster (tips (of the same materials) are embroidered with two liens rampant, issuing from a hand-is-hand, supporting between their fore feet an Imperial Ditseem. Above the Crean are engraved the words " Arnie D'Haute," and beneath the Union, that truly appropriate and emphatic motto, " Liberte ou-la-nsort."— The whole has a very splendid appearance, and is justly calculated to meet the admiration, and to suit the gawdy taste, of the trans-Atlantic hero, for whom it is intended. This saddle and furniture, together with a magnificent whip and bridle (the head-piece of which is of shell-work), are ordered by a mercantile house in the city, and are meant, we understand, as a present for the Black Emperor of St. Domingo. Twenty-four more, of a similar de scription, are to accompany it, for Isis equerries, aides de-camp, and staff, as likewise an elegant side-sad dle, for her sable Majesty, the Empress of all the Haytians. The whole, which is well worthy the observation of the curious, will be completed in the course of a few weeks, and will cost upwards of 2000 guineas. smarimmemil i mmir NE Ma RIFFS. Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, the Painter-stainers' and Dyers Companies, met at the Hall of the former, in Trinity-lane. and before one o'clock set out from theace toe Guildhall, preceded by Messrs. Miles and Branscomb, the two new Sheriffs, in their very superb carriages. The officers and servants of twoCorperationc attended on the occasion,gaily decked with large bunches of blue and yellow rib twns in their bats, and some with sarsnet scarves of the same colours. Much of the pump, however, which is unril on similar occasions, such as musk playing, and colours flying, was almost iatitely omitted, on account of the Sabbath di; ; the band, indeed, attended at the entrance into Guildhall, and playel while the new Sheriffs alighted from their carri.nges. Immediately after the arrival of the new Sheriffs, the Lard Mayor, the late Sheriffs, and seve ral Aldermen, came in procession, preceded by the Marshals and City Officers. from the Mansion-house, and. in a very sort time. tobkiheir stations on the 'listings, in the Common Hall. Proclamation was then made by the Common Crier, and the High and Under Sheri ff s were swore into °keg, with the astral forms. The High Sheriffs, who till now wore black robes, were invested with purple, and the chains of their office. The Lord Mayor and Alder Men then left the husMsgs, and returned to the Mansion loam instate. Immediately after, the late and present Sheriffs proceeded to the Court of Cemm..m Pleas, where the list of prisoners, at present in custody, in the die Brent gaols, was read over, and the Cus tody delivered to the latter, with the usual cm 'lronies. The Sheriffs then. followed by their Com panies, returned to the Painter-Stainers' Hall, in Trinity lane, to partake of a superb dinner, gives by Mr. Miles. Mr. Braascomb's dinner will take place on Wed nitedarnext. An immense number of elegantly dressed females attended to witness the ceremony. The galleries is Guildhall were filled, and the Hall itself was crowded to an amazing degree. The company at dinner were numerous. Alder man Comte, on his heaith being drank, returned thanks in a neat speech, in which he declared his determination to persevere in thp principles and po litics he had hitherto professed. Tine chimer was most elegant, consisting of veni son and game of all kinds, and was followed by an etcellent desert, consisting of pine apples. melons. ac.

He escaped with a violent sprain of his ancle, and was taken back to Cheltechars for =lira' aid. . , • noPtcontt, sm. N. Their Royal gighnesies the Prince' of Wales and the Duke of Clareike, since their arrival here, have occupied the aparthients provided for them ; the Prince at Mr. Lindley's hawse, and. the Duke at Dr. Chorley's, on South Parade. (in the appear ance of the Prince at the ivindosr, etch day, he was greeted with every deMenstratidn of loyalty and respell, by an immense 'concourse of rople. The great tatigye the Prince had already undergone, from the incessant attentions paid by His Royal Highness to the country, dining his tour, we fear, had somewhat impaired his health, which probably induced His Royal Highness to avoid, as much as pos sible, a public reception ; but we observed, with sin cere satisfaction, that on the Grand Stand, and at the Roonts,the Prince's usual affability,and most amiable deportment, accompanied him. The anxious solici tude of the surrounding multitude to behold the Heir Apparent of our beloved Sovereign, and his Royal Brother, whose gentle manners excited universal esteem and admiration, must be highly gratifying to these illustrious strangers. On the day of his arrival, the Southern Regiment of West Riding, Yeo manry Cavalry, commanded by Col. Foljambe, and the Dbncaster Volunteer infantry, commanded by Colonel Wrightson, were drawn up opposite the Prince's lodgings, when' His Royal Highness was pleased to express, is General Orders, through Lieutenant-General Vyse, his Royal approbation of their appearance under arms. Their Royal Highnesses, from a consideration of the inconrenirnce that might attend accepting the invitation of the Mayor and Corporation, to a din ner at the Mansion +feast, at so public a nine, !flirt done Earl Fitzwilliam the honeur of dining with - him every day, at his apartments at Mr. Tootle% in French Gate, accompanied by a see& party. His Royal Highness also declined accepting the military honours of a guard, &c. conscious that the best se curity of a British Prince rests in the bears* of a brave and loyal people ; nor can a prouder trait be exhibited of the excellence of our glorious constitu tion, and sincere attachment to our beloved Sove reign and every branch of his August Family. Their Royal Highnesses attended the rooms, to which were upwards of 400 subscribers. The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Clarence leave this place to-day, to dine with Mr. Mellish, at Blyth • ride over to Keeton , the seat of the Duke of Leeds, on Saturday, and return to Blythe to din ner ; and visit M. A. Taylor, Esq. at Ledstone Hall, on Sunday, where they remain till their re turn to town to attend the funeral of Mr. Fox. Our Races have been more fashionably and nu merously attended than ever remembered, and the very excellent sport, together with the fine course, the Grand Stand, and general neat appearance of the town, we understand excited the particular ad aniratiosof the Royal Brothers. mistemmenmesmeme .SPOATING DONCASTER RACICS.-.4ornatinuel ) • TIIVRIDAT, lIPT.

The persons saved from the wreck of the King Geo , ge Parkgate packet were Herter W•titea,• brother of the Captain, Mate of the vessel; WIL- L , sts and Rome*, two of the .crew ; an Irish boy, not of the crew ; and a blacksmith, whose name is unknown. There were but four cabin pas sengers, one was Mr. Wt LI.IAM 13CIIION, of Leices tershire, who occasionally visited Ireland ; he was fond of farming, and had in the packet six rams of the finest Leicestershire breed. We cannot too ardently extol the heroic condua of M. PAL Y. the Nuremberg bookseller, who was murdered by a French Military Commission at Bran nau. This brave man was offered his pardon, upon condition that he gave up the author of the obnoxious work, which he dauat.essly refused, even at the place of execution, exclaiming, " that he would ra ther die than betray the author." A subscription has been opened in Germany for his widow and three children. What a contrast between this ge nerous man, and the London bookseller, Co as LT• who, to avoid Inc and imprisonment, betrayed his correspondent, Mr. Justice Joitosos, to whose com munications he was indebted for the sale of his weekly Slander ?

A Oar number of •agrants were brought up, abiortist whom were two well dressed reputed thieves. Richard Barnes was charged aids having desert ed his wife and children, and left them to the care of tPe parish, though he was perfealy able - to maintain Ahern. It appeared, that the parish had incurred an expence of near 201. ia supporting his family. After a very severe reprimand, the Court ordered him to be confined six months in the House of Correaion, and kept to hard labour: A young woman was charged with begging in the streets with a hoard, on which was written, " A Tale of Distress," and pretendiniNto be dumb The officers who apprehended her, frightened her, by saying they would open her mouth, and if they found she really had a tongue, they would cut it nut. She immediately confessed she could talk fast enough. She was ordered t 2 be passed to her parish at Portsmouth, with her fagier, who was also a sturdy beggar, who made use of a board, with an inscription on <soh side : one describing him at a poor blind man, and the other a wounded sailor. The latter he availed himself of in dry weather only, when he could lay himself along the pave meat. If a e Several rogues and vagabonds were sent to dry House of Correilion. siammememrsaa POLICE. aow.sTistsT. , ASSASSINATION. Mr. Browning, the late High Bailiff for the city of Westminster, has exhibited a complain; against a very respatable gentleman, who render in Surrey, charging him with endeavouring to procure a man to assassinate him. The gentleman and Mr. Browning, some years since, were very intimate, bat differed upon some family business ; after which the gentleman went abrbad. The ground of the charge was, that during his absence from England, he wrote several letters to hit coachman, urging him to form a plan with another man, to lie in wait for Mr. Browning, and assassinate him, for which they were to be handsomely rewarded; and if he did not comply, the coachman was to be dismissed the ser vice. 'l'he gentleman is returned to England ; and on Thursday the business was heard before Mr. RIAD, privately, when the Magistrate thought it right to hold the gentleman to load in 10001. and two sureties in SOM. each, to keep the peace to wards Mr. Browning. The business, however, was resumed privately, before Mr. Omegas'. on &Mr day, for several hours. Mr. Gurney attended/or Mr. Browning. PROFANE SWEARING AND DRI/RtliittlYSS. On Wednesday evening, Mr. Way, a respedahle publican in Covent Garden, aneodied. before Mr. Gami•si, and stated, that a aim of rite name of Gerrish, a salesman in Covent Garden, was in the habit of using his house, bat be frequently `got in toxicated, and when that was the nese, constantly abused his customers, and every bodj.ia the house, made use of the most blasphemous 'language, and, in fad, became such a nuisance, that he came to a resolution not to serve him with any snore liquor. This had not the desired effea, for Mr. Gerrish went to another public house in the neighbourhood, and got intoxicated in general every evening. after which it was his constant pradice to go to Mr. Way's house, and alma' every body those. awaking use of very blasphemous and obscene langtutge, and behaving so filthy, that all the customers left the house. This statement was confirmed by several respedable inhabitant. The worthy Mai:smears lamented, that although the conclud of Mr. Gerrish was so disgraceful to him as a man, he had no means of giving the landlord of a well-regulated house relief. He thought of having him placed in t'se stocks for his beastly drunken condue, but was informed the stocks bad been taken down a short time since; and had not been put op again. Mr. GRAHAM then told Mr. Way to recol led some of the blasphemous eaths he had heard Gerrish swear, which he did ; and his information was taken agreeably to the statute, charging Gar fish with swearing, last Tuesday, twice, th. horrid oath of 1' G—d damn my eyes." On Saturday, Mr. Gerri.h attended a summons to answer the charge before Mr. GIAHAM. Ger rish pleaded Geili to both charges. Mr. Ge•NAM asked him, what he called himself ? He answered, a tradesman ; it was, therefore, only in the power of the Magistrate, to fine him two shillings for each oath, and five shillings costs. Mr. GRAH•II la mented very much, that there were no stocks to put him in, for his drunkenness ; cautioned him against going any more to Mr. Way's house, to make a dis turbance; and told him, it he was brought before him again, for swearing, the penalty and costs would be doubled, the next time they would be trebled, kc. PARISH RATES. A respeEtable female inhabitant of the parish of St. Clement Danes, was summoned for non-pay ment of rates, by Mr. Johnson, the Collator. The Lady stated, that it was not convenient for her to pay the whole of the demand, but bad offered Mr. Johnson eight guineas, in part ; which he re fused to take. Mr. GRAHAM gave the Lady till the 10th of Oc tober, to pay the rates. He censured the Collator's conduit fur not taking the eight guineas, in part ; and said, if be belonged to the parish, and the eight guineas were not got, he would make him pay it. VNION HALL. Saturday, James Lisa/. alias Jemmy from Tram, was brought pp for re-examination, on a charge of ro'abing a Mr. Lloyd of his money, in a most vio lent and ferocious manner, on a place called the Ruins, by the end of Lam-street. in the Borough. near the Mint.—The charge was, on the first exa mination. made pretty plain ; but, on a re-hearing, it came out that some steps had been made towards an accommodation. which were successful, and the Magistrates were obliged to discharge him, for want of evidence. Isaac Warren, Themes Patter. Richard ?tiler, John Cask, and A,rw Ifrard, were charged with a burglary in the house of Mr. John Crowther, at Kennington.
