His Royal Highness the Doke of SUSSEX has been passing the last three weeks at Mr. Comes magnificent mansion of Ho!khans, to which place his Royal Higlmes* proceeded, after visiting New stead Abbey, the seat of Colonel WILDMAN. late High Sheriff for Nottinghiunshire. Newsteisd Ab bey was the paternal seat of Lord SYRON, from whom it was purchased by the present owner, who has expended a very considerable sum, end evinced 'rest taste in repairing and beautifying the Gothic edifice. His Royal Highness was so pleased with Newatead thst he spent a week with the hospitable owner. In travelling from Newstend to Halkhaan his Royal Ilighneas took the Lincolualiire road, and honoured Mr. and Lady iSABEI.LA DOUGLAS with his cunt puny fur a couple of days at their residence near Bourn. Lady ISABELLA is the daughter of the late Earl of ARRAN, and sister to the Hon. E. one of In. Royal Highness's Equerries. Mr. DOUGLAS is grandson to the late Lord HARE. WOOD, and his eldest brother, we helirve, is next heir to the Scottish EauWm of MORTOS. ( Boston Gazelle.) The infant daughter of H. BROUGHAM, Esti. was ihriateord at Nine Churches yesterday ae'nnight, by the Rev. Mr. ileum, by the mane of ELEA• 101tA Louis*. Mr. B. and his Lady left Brougham llall on Monday last for London. CoLLEY CIBBER visited the Duke of Wiwi. TON, at Winchendon. in Buckinghamshire, and taking an airi n g with his Grace, the carriage could hardly be dragged along through the heavy clay. " It has been arid." observed the poer, " that your Grace run through your estate; but 1 defy you to row through this." An orator having written a speech to be delivered on a particular occasion, asked a literary friend's °peanut of it. The hitter, after some time, told loin that lie had read it over three times—thefirst time it appeared very good ; the secoud,iime twiif fereut, sad the third quite inattnd. " Theo (replied the orator) it will do, us 1 shall only hove to speak It ware.'" DRURY-LINE THEATRE. Last night this theatre overflowed long before the rising of the curtain. SHAESPEARE'S tragedy of Macbeth was presented, and we may say, OA, since the days of KaIIBLB and Mrs. SIDDONS, the parts of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth have never been better acted. Mr. Yonae, as Macbeth, performed with much force and truth. The soliloquy of the " air drawn dagger" was admirably given. His speech of " Hence, unreal mockery !" addressed to the ghost of the murdered Barquo, was also cheered by the audience. Mr. Yount), by his perform ance of Macbeth, has added another •lanrel to the wreath of his dramatic excellencies. The part of Lady Macbeth is one which has been raised to the highest pinnacle by the fine acting of Mrs. SIDDONS; therefore for an actress of the pre sent day to give even a correct reading of the character is praiseworthy. But Mrs. W. WEST did more; it is evident she has studied' the part with attention; sbe seemed to feel each thought of this ambitious woman. Her tempting Macbeth to the murder of Dance. was doue with much skill; and her rebuke, where she represents to him the sleeping and the dead but as pictures. was a master stroke of genius. In the banqueting scene, her haste of wishing the guests good night was loudly and deservedly applauded. In the scene of som nambulism. she finely depicted the remorse-stung conscience of the character. We do not hesitate to pronounce Mrs. WEST'S Lady Macbeth the best at present on the stage. We some seasons back prog nosticated her arrival at the top of her profession. sail she has sttsined it. Mr. POPS ably supported the part of Bangui), as did M►. COOPER the cha racter of Mactled: In the impassioned speeches he was much applauded. The curtain fell amidst shows cf approbation. OUTINIAN SOCIETY. The Outinian Society have recorded the follow ing qualification of their objections to Germain Philosophers, io favour of many respectable and well-intentioned moralists espousing that phi losophy : "The Society cannot forbear from avowing, nn this oc casion, its high respect, sot oisly fur the German nation, but eve. for those German Philosophers who moat ably sow advocate the opinioos which it opposes; and with whom it agrees oo the most important subject., though it moot bat differ from t►em on the mesas most eligible to attala their common end. For though it dues not deeply lament the uaduubted circonistaace that London has become almost a German Heiropolialduring the last thirty years, when it recollect, that that learned and Imaginative nation much en. riehed us by its literature in the course of that period; yet it cherishes a wish that the too great excitement of its pr. cutter catbosiasin should give way to the calmer energy of, reams, which bad just before distinguished Jobosoa's school, whose old Eaglish character of morality it warmly wished to see reform. Nor can it, at the same time, be is• different to the credit of stepping forth, with the prejudices inspired by the Notate qtrs., where their ionnence seems In this respect on the erase, to guard the laurels of Locke and Newtoa,aud keep alive la our miads the well-founded claims of English Philosophy." We understand that the Right Hon. Sir. CA" Lotto has, by the command of the Kixo. intimat ed to F. L. CHAUTRItY, Esq. R.A. his MAJESTY'S desire that he should undertake the execution of the equestrian statue to be erected in commemora tion of the Royal Visit to Scotland.—( &dinbargk Paper.) The eagerness for place which is said to charac terise English lawyers, is, it appears, not without pa rallel. A French paper states, that the office of Justice of the Peace (a salaried office in France) having become vacua in two towns of Champagne, five candidates started for the ►acant dignity in one town, and more than nineteen in the other. The former five travelled all in one diligence to Paris, to present their respective claims to " the Great Man." THE LATE Mu. GARRICK.Mri. GARRICK was in the habit of making a pilgrimage every year to her husband's lamb in Westininster-abbey, on the anniversary of his death. The manner in which she lingered about the stone under which the ashes of her husband rest attracted upon one occasion the notice of the individuals to whose care the in terior of the Abbey was intrusted. They asked her if she would like to be accommodated with a chair ? She replied in the negative ; adding, that her chief desire was to be left alone fur a few mi nutes. The vergers accordingly retired. On re joining them, she asked them whether the seventh volume of some edition of SHAESPEARE (probably Joittesou's) bad been placed upon her husband's coffin at the time of his funeral ? They answered that they did not know, or that they had not heard of such a circumstance. On opening the vault for the purpose of consigning Mrs. GaaaacK herself to it, the volume of Suaitsreaau in question was found upon GARRICK's coffin; the binding was quite perfect, but the paper was much decayed, and the letter-press entirely defaced, in consequence of the damp. Monday se'nnight, about half-past nine o'clock in the evening, a beautiful meteor was seen to the n orth of Edinburgh : it passed with great rapidity in a horizontal line front east to west, throwing oat sparks from behind. It was iu sppearance about the size of a star of the first magnitude, and of equal brilliaace. It disappeared without explosion. Sasitart.—lt is not generally known that tlis beverage, so often mentioned with praise in Arabic poetry, is neither more nor less than a decoction of oatmeal and sugar, seasoned, when cold, with rose water. M USICA COACHNEK.—The blowing of the horn by the coachmen and guards of our mail-coaches, which has usually been considered a sort of 111111S+111Ce, is now, by the persevering labours of these ingenious gentlemen, converted into an instrument of public gratification. Most of the guards of the stage coaches now make their enhance and exit to the melody of some old national ballad, which, though it may not. perhaps, be played at present in such exert time and tune as would satisfy the leader of the opera hand, is yet ve►y soothing cud pleasant, in comparison to the unmeaning and discordant strains which formerly issued from the same roar ter; and many of these new performers me makiog visible and rapid improvement. Foreigners can ise longer reproach Os with bring an unmusical nation, when the very drivers of our public vehicles can exhibit themselves as solo performers en what is considered a very difficult itotrumeut. LAW mrszLICENCE. ...ens.- COURT OF RING'S BENCH, GOILORALL, ITEDIMDAT, OCTOBER 30. DIATII tho LORD CHM !IMMO and 0 Common Jury. --. WILSON V. TUCEER. Mr. Scutuert for the Plaintiff. stated that this was an ectioo against the Defendant. the widow and Executrix of the late Mr. Tucker, an Attorney. to recover the sum of 315/. which the Plaintiff had lost he his negligence in the management of a security. The Plaintiff. who resided at Norwich. had lent a sum of 105/. to a person named Freehfield, and being about to lend him • further sum of 10/. on being secured by the assignment of his share of a legacy of 4,0001. left by his uncle. to be received by bins when he attained the age of 43. The' Plaintiff applied to Tucker to examine the will under which Freshfield claimed, and to prepare the securities ; but he contented himself frith - look. ing at the extract of the will which was brought to him.withaut going to Dueto►►'Commons lemming' the will itself. If he had taken that trouble, which . it was his duty to have dime. he would have seen there was a clause in the will which provided that any of the legatees assigning the legacy, the same should be forfeited; and, in fact, on the death of the person having the life inte►est, a suit in Chan • eery was commenced, and ultimately the Lord Chancellor decreed the legacy to be forfeited ; and in consequence the Plaintiff lost the money 'lnch he had advanced to Freslifitlil. To prove this case, Mr. --grARLSTT called s fe male, who was housekeeper to the Plaintiff's bro ther, and she stated that •in May 1819 she accom. ponied the Plaintiff to Mr. Tucker's, and heard him desire Mr. Tucker to be very particular in the sem rily, and to go to Doctors: Commons to examine the will. Afterwards, in the month of December, Mr. Tucker came to the house of her wavier, and said he was afraid Mr. %V. Wilson would lose his money, owing to the stupidity or negligence of his clerk. Mr. PULLER, for the Defendant, then addressed the Jury. He admitted that in general an attorney wns bound to exercise such a degree of caution as had been stated by his Learned Friend (Mr. Sear-. lett). unless where his vigilance was lulled asleep by the act of the party, and that, he contended, was the case here. Mr. Tucker was employed merely to prepare the security, but not to examine into its validity by looking into the titles. The Learned Counsel then called Mr. Webb, who was managing clerk to Mr. Tucker, and he stated that the Plaintiff did not give any instruc tions to look at the will, but merely left the extract from it, from which the deed was to be prepared immediately, as the parties were waiting in town. A letter from Mr. Tucker to the Plaintiff was put in and read. It was written after the discovery of the clause in the will respecting those legacies which should be assigned. The letter stated that Mr. Tucker had read the will. and there was a clause that those who should sell or dispose of their legacies, so as to give trouble to the trustees, should forfeit them ; but it added, that in the opinion of the writer this could trot invalidate the Plaintiff's security. as it had given no trouble to the trustees. The Loan CHM JUSTICE. in summing up the evidence, said that he was of opinion. in point of law. an attorney ought not to have contented him self with looking at the extract of the will, but should have gone to Doctor.' Commons and exa mined the will itself, unless something took place by the employer, which he might reasonably unfelt would render such a step unnecessary. His Lord ship left the case to the Jury on the evidence, but thought if they should find for the Plaintiff. they should limit their verdict to the sum advanced after Mr. Tucker had been consulted. The Jury found a verdict for the Plaioliff—Da mages 3101. In the Report of the Archbishop of Duestu's Charge, deltwered at his primary Visitation, held in Dublin on Thursday twit, which we pee on Tues day, the following striking passage, which we copy from the Freeman's Journal, was omitted : . 4 We, my Reverend Brethren, are placed is a mistime in which we are hemmed in by two opposite descriptions of profeirsing Cb r sans The one possessing a Church, With. oat what we ran roll a Religion; and the other possessing • Religion, without what we can roll a Church : the one so blindly (unloved to supposed infallible ercksiastical natlw nty, as not to seek is t►e Word of God • maims fur the faith they profess; the other so confident in the infallibility of their individual judgment, as to the reasons of their faith. that they deem it their duty to resist all authority in matters of religion. We, my Brethren, are to keep clear of both extremes; and, holding the Scriptures as our great charter, whilst we maintain the liberty wit► w►ich Christ has made es frre, we are to submit ourselves to the authority to which be has made us subject. From this spirit of tempered freedom and qualified submission sprung the glo. noes work of the Refurmation, by which the Church of these countries, having thrown off ffirt Anvil nf Aerials srpnerali lino, bunt forth in the purified forme( Christian renovation; and having dung aside the novelties of human invention, pre sented to the world the fair picture of the true, and genuirre, and 'Relent Csihnlie Church, retailing all that authority, and entitled to all that ollegianee which belonged to the early Chords, of which it was the disencumbered sail legitimate coutinnatitra.

OLD BAILEY, WIDNUDAY, OLTOSta 30. Thomas rearley, William Whitton, William Leicester. John Carrie, soul Samuel haven, were indicted for sealing in the dwelling-house ul James Currie 16 rovereigna, three watches, cud a Dumber of other uncles, his property. The Prosecutor keeps the White Bear, at the Brentford end of Hounslow. Fearley and Whitton came to his house on the 18th of September. They had been there before. They talked about the ewes at Eglism, end left the house in a gig about three. They returned between eight and nine, and the other three came soon afterwards. They were all in a parlour on the ground floor, and the family of the Prosecutor were in the bar. The parlour do.s not enter from the bar, nor from the tap-room. They requested to have the door of the parlour left opee no account of the heat. There were ten per sons in all. They sung and talked as if they had hem all ooe company. They remained in the house about an hour, the 'tortes and gigs in winch they came standing outside. No part of t h e ►roperty was missed before they left the house. Mel sang two song., all chorus.ed, and, as awe as the lot song was lung. they went off like a shot, and were in the rond in• a minute. He warned them that there was danger on account of n waggon on the road if they went so fast ; but they did not attend to him. Fentley occasionally walked up and down the passage. lu the course of ten minutes after the Prisoners departed. he found that the door of the room containing the property hail been picked, and the bureau had been fumed open by violence. Fie found a small bit of some steel instrument which had been broken in the room. Five or six boxes had been opened, as well as the bureau, and papers were tumbled about on the bed where his children were asleep. Nine silver spoons, the bowl of a punch ladle, two snuff boxes, three watches. seven rings, arid ■ variety of other property were gone. There were also three 51. Batik of England note., 16 sovereigns, and other money ; the whole in fact amounting to nearly 100/. As soon es he discovered his loss he sent for en officer, and they mounted in two gigs, and found the present five men at Kensi ngtoth Three limey in the Marquis of Granby public-house, and the two others about twenty or thirty yards from the door. Ile did not see any of theni searched. While they were in his house there were no other persons on the side where the stair-case was which led to his bed. room. He recovered the three 51. Ihnk of Eng. lam' notes. Cross-examined by MY. ALLEY.—There were • good many persons passing from the races ; beet whole the Prisoners were in the house, there were none on the same side with the Prisoners. The people in the house were kept busy. The com pany to which the Prisoners belonged left a pint of ale unpaid, hot the person who left the ale unpaid was not one of the Prisoners. The door of the parlour was a-jar, so much so as that he could hear the voices of the Prisoner.. There is no stair-cue from the room whence the property was stolen, but that from the parlour. Mary Curti., the wife of the preceding witness, remembered the whole of the Prisoners being at her house on the evening of the Egham races. She had been in the bedroom about five minutes before the Prisoners come to her house. The property was safe, ■rid she locked the door and kept the key in her pocket till the time at which the robbery was discovered. She corroborated her hu►band'a evi dence as to the description of the property stolen.— Fealty came to the house about five inmates after, aid called for a glass of brandy and water and a pipe. She did not see the others come in. When she carried the brandy and water, Fearley and Leicester were in the room. When she went into the room 10 minutes after, there a ere seven or eight. %Vein into the parlour again; some were smoking and others drinking tea. It is quite customary for the same party to give wpar.ste orders. No one could have cosine in and ascended the stairs without being seen at the bar; sad no one could come out at the parlour door without being seen, but they could not be seen going up stairs. She did not sit to the her while the Prisoners were going out. There were per sons in the tap.room, but they could not have come to the passage without being seen. Three waggoners went that way to bed up stairs, while the Prisouers were in the parlour. Fawley was walking up and down the passage, while the others were in the passage. She filled his glass, and he kept talking to her. Her husband was in the parlour then. When she mixes the liquor she does not turn round. A servant went up stairs with the lodgers, who slept on the stairs above the bed-room. Whitton came to the Isar nerd paid, and Leicester came there for a pipe. They all went at the ►ame time. It was the one upon horseback that did not pay his reckoning. She went to the bed-room in about five minutes after they were gone. No other person had been in the house in the interim. She found the lock picked ■nd the door half open. She described the ►tate of the room in the same manner as had been done by her husband. Cross-examined—Could not positively say how wide the passage is. There is a partition duos in the paebabre. between the bar door and the parlour door. The stairs may be more than five yards horn the parlour door. There were perhaps six persons in the tap-loom, but there were no persons there from Egham rvcesi. Persons can pert auto the tep•ruoto without paving the stairs. The passage to the tap is on the other side of the house. A person from the tap must go through two kitcheus berme hr can get to the staircase. James Hampton, ostler to Mr. Curtis, recollected the five Prisoners bring at his master's house. Saw Futile,/ and Whitton in the morning of the day in question; and it; the evening there were the five at the bar and five more. In the evening they all arrived in four gigs, and one on a saddle•horse. He staid outside to take care of the !tosses. He saw ' Fearley go in mod out. Where he stood he could see into the passage, and there was nu person that entered it hut the Prisoners and the other five. They all went away as quick es possible, and appeared to be quite sober. He heard of the rob bery immediately, and put the heroes on the horse, drove' ufr with bin ,russter,,eud saw the Puisonera io custody et I“.osiegioo, cud also another who was not now pekotiOt. Mary Siolimon i sefSekst 'to Mr. Curtis, remem. ben the 004.14 ekti ih,. - she waited on th em in th e odour they wet elf (ten in number) in the parlour when she entered ; uoue of the others at the bar sat at the same table with resat, - and Whitton ; they talked to nee another in general; she heard singing; the principal ginger was not at the bur; two of them sung; remembered the three waggoners steeping in the garret that night ; she sheets(' them op to bed st the same lime 'eft the candle aith them. Went to their room after the robbery, aril found the waggoners in bed and the candle exti, - guiehed. They were all arleet•. Took nil 110' CC of her mistress's bed.►oom adobe went up and don stub's. John F. Cooke, constable, went in pursuit, lock a young man with hint, ■od Curtis and his evils,. followed ; found the Prisoners in Kensington. Stainer, the patrol, hail stopped Currie and Raven opposite the Goat public-house, and searched them. No part of the stolen property was found on' them. At the Marquis of Granby he found Fearley, Leicester, Whitton, and another person named While. They were all in the rime room, and it wns a small one; told them they should not g-) without being searched. Fernley asked withers for his authority. He replied, that a robbery hid been committed, and that he was a peace officer. Cross-examined.—They were searched, and no part of the property was found on them. The Pri soners were twice minutely searched, but nothing was found upon any of them, or in any of the gigs, which were also searched. Isaac Staines, patrol at Hounslow, went on horse back upon the alarm being given. He saw three gigs standing at the Marquis of Granby. Olie of the gigs separated from the others ; he followed and stopped it. He corroborated Cooke's evidence as to the apprehending and searching of the Prisoners. He knew none of the Prisoners before. feartec said he was very willing to be searched. A-gentle man brought him a watch which had been picked up beside the gig. It was nut claimed by the Pro. secutor as one of them which he had lost. Thomas Feailey read • defence. He contended, that if he had committed • robbery he had many facilities for making his escape, in consequence of the cross roads ; and hid he done so he would never have stopped at another public•house. The house was mach exposed. He contended that the.cir curnstances of the case, the landlady's first search ing the waggoners, and many other consideratipos, rendered it improbable that he could have her% guilty. He trusted that the circumstance of his having been committed would not prejtmirce hits in the opinion of the Jury. The other Prisoners concurred in this defence. No witnesses appearing to the Prisoners' cbarac. less, the Recorder summed up, snd the Joey. after having retired for about a quarter of an hour, re turned a verdict of Guilty against all the Prisoners. POLICE. ........ BO W-lITIVET. Yesterday a young man of the name of Stokes underwent au examination before G. R. Minshull, Eaq. the presiding Magistrate, charged by Elisabeth Blakely, with aammUittig her, and eudelmouring to extoet Mi. frea► her, ostler a threat of injuring ►er character. _ . - It appeared that both she Proseeutris sad Prissier lived mamma's with Mr. H.

Mr. Evans, of Noribumberlandstreet, was charged with assaulting s female in his own house. The female stated, that some years since she had a child. of which Mr. Evers was the father; that be had passed to her by the some of Smith, of Charing-cross. She lay is is the Lying-in-Hospital. She paid es. a week for putting the ch hl oat to nurse fur seven months, and she sought to be rell)ii dby Mr. Evans. She had since been is the West lii dies, aed had returned on account of bad health, and fuund Mr. Evans out by chime, seeing him go into a brush maker's shop in the City. She went there sad *aired li name and addicts. She further slated that she had writt i several letters to Mr. Evans, but could nut obtain satisf tory answers, a hich was the reason of her ruing to his boom.. Mr. Evans, after some hesitation, admitted that he met and bad intercourse with her some time after he WIG a widower, and that he went by the name of Smith, and at tenth consented that if she swore be was the father of the child, be would pay the egresses, which Asairgimisend he retired with her to arrange the espenserith an under_ standing that she is nut to annoy him any more.
