WELLINGTON MANSION. The improvements which we lately spliced Is their pro. passive stale are now completed, and we may safely assert that the Wellington Mansion is in every pellet of view a most desirable residence for families of rank and respectability. It has been out less frequently than just, smarted, that the increasing prosperity of Chelteaham is without • parallel; for, w►ilst all other watering places sensibly experience the vicissitudes of taste and fashion. this highly-favoured tow■ seems but rising to the maturity of its fame and its It is mow becomieg as permanently established as • winter residence as'it ban heretofore been celebrated for its anwomer attractions; and to the many personages of high character and distinction now ranked amongst its patrons, we are enured that the dwelling of the illustrious Wellington, der. iviK his sojourn here, is an object of primary interest. But iadcpeudeutly of the ata•y proud and gratifying associations conoecird with this circunistsoce, we know not where a dwelling could be fouad comprising so many advantages— a perfect ret is rrbe, commanding all the finest views of the country round—seeladed from the public gaze—mud yet within the shortest possible distance of every amusement — of every thing faabionable—of every thing conducive to bealth—of every thing essential to pl , comfort, and coave•ie•ce. Colonel Riddell, the proprietor of this maga nifa•t massion, has bees indefatigable for time years in reuderiag it in (very respect worthy of Ike station it occupies •mungst the public buildings of Cheltenham, and has lately, with his nasal taste and at • greet expense, pat it com pletely in inch order as well fits it for the reception of families of the first respectability.—(Ckelfrakam Chronicle) Yesterday morning. soon after ten o'clock. the Duke and Docile:nor Ciaasuca left Bushy Park iu a chariot and four. and proceeded to Kensing ton Niece, where the Duchess slighted on • visit ' to the Duchess of Knee.

ANOTHER MYSTERT.—It is whispered at the ' west end of the town, that • package, containing a " pledge of love," was lately received in London, by a person whose name is familiar to the public, from an eccentric but distinguished genius, who for some time has not resided on this side of the Alps. It is reported that a letter bad previously reached the 'gent alluded to, informing him such a pack age would arrive, and directing him to take proper steps for having it, as soon after being landed as possible, deposited some fret below the surface of the earth, at the foot of a particular tree on liar. row.hill, which was specifically pointed out for that purpose. Application, it is said, less accordingly made to a public, but religious, character. for per , mission to comply with thus request, which having been granted, after a short hesitation, the package on its arrival was buried to the appointed spot. it is further hinted, in a still more obscure manner, that the package probably contained something which was once dear to an English lady new abroad —perchance not unconnected by tender ties to the eccentric but distinguished genius who resides at ti.e other side of the Alps.—( Evening Paper.) UNFORTUNATE MI/TAIL-41 is said that an • affair of an extraordinary nature occurred a few days Lack, in the county of Wicklow, which is likely to fornish matter for discussion in one of our Law Courts.

Two marriages took place—the two brides were escorted by their attaining grooms, on the wedditsg•day, to r hotel not far from town—they dined. took tea, supped, and then the ladies retired.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Mr. BRAIIAM appeared for the first time this season in the well-known character of the Seraskier, in the Mtge of Belgrade, last evening. His voice is unimpaired it. strength and sweetness, sad it follows, of course, that his songs were most raptu rously applauded by a crowded audience. "My heart with love is beating," was loudly encored, and the same distinction lied confrrrrd upon the duet with Madame VESTRIS, " When thy bosom heaves the sigh." There has been no change in the east since last season; it would be impossible to suggest any without diminishing the more than ordinary effect which the opera derives from the variety of talent combined in its representation.

RAMSGATE, Nov ENDER 20. Sir o'flock.—Their Royal Highnesses the Doke of CAMBRIDGE and the Princess AUGUSTA have this moment arr►ved here from Dover in two tra velling carriages and four. They reached Dover yesterday evening from Sittingbourn, and remain ed there this day, intending to embark at that port fu► Calais; but having been prevented so doing by the bar, ordered the steam-yacht to proceed for this harbour. From hence their Royal Highnesses are expected to embark to-morrow morning. On Tuesday last the curiosity of the good folks of Eling and Redbridge was excited in an unusual degree by a troop of lancers escorting • carriage drawn by four horses, with three persons in it.

Her shawl and bonnet were found carefully lying upon the stubble. a few yards from the water-side. Ver dict—lnsanity. It is a fact no less true than re markable. that a short time before the account of her fate reached Rothbury, a wild pigeon flew into the dwelling of the deceased, a room upon the second floor. . Lately, in the neighbourhood of Whitworth, seme thieves broke into a house at the hour of divine ser vice on a Sunday, during the absence of the owners at church, and robbed it of several articles, with which they decamped, leaving the following inscrip tion, in chalk, on a table in the kitchen : " Two must watch as well u pray." On Friday it'onight, as W. DAVI ES, head game keeper to S. Peru's, Esq. of Garnstone, in Here fordshire, was in the act of shooting at a wild deck, the barrel of his gun burst close at the breech, mid some part of the metal 'truck him on the left eye so severely, as to totally deprive him of the sight of it, and his left hand, which was upon the guard when he fired, was also dreadfully shattered. He was conveyed to the Hereford 11.firmary. where he ex perienced the humane attantion and skilful medical assistance for which that excellent institution is justly celebrated ; his hand was obliged to be im mediately amputated, but he is doing well. The gun was a single barrel, and he had shot witb it many years. EXTENIIVF. BURGLARY AT LIVERPOOL.—The shop oftr. HOWARD, jeweller, of Pa►adire-street, iu that town, was broken into some titne in the in terval between Saturday night the 9111 and Monday morning the 11th instant, and articles of jewellery, amounting in value to •boat 4001. were stolen. Inft emotion MN sent to the Police at Manchester that the men who had perpetrated the robbery were suspected to be gone towards that place, and on Thursday Mr. LAVENDER, deputy con stable, apprehended four men, Hugh Macdonald, -- Rowland, James Imith, and Joseph Adams ; upon the three first of whom he found various small articles of jewellery. They had been Peen together on the Liverpool-road ou the Tuesday, in a very dirty and comfortless state; and no doubt is en tertained that they were concerned in the robbery. Wednesday morning, about five o'clock, as STIL4- CET'S Oxford stage-waggon was approaching near to Tyburn turnpike, on its way to Newgate market, some villains contrived to cut through the lilting, and extract 14 flats, containing three dozen of but ter each, and two sacks of water•cressea, with which they got clear oil ; nor was the robbery discovered until the waggon stopped at the Green Man and Still, in Oxford-street, notwithstanding there were five passengers in it.

After the men shook hands from the rcratch, it was clear conneh t►at nothing but fighting was =east, but an unlucky omen occurred to Hall, as the ladies would term it; when he doffed ►is caster into the ring the wind blew it out again, and hie second effort was scarcely enough. At 'the set-to, Hall, who stripped a very GOe yOOlll, NUM. about twelve stone, made severe play. He'snisred WI rushing hit from hotness, but a rally followed, and Hall placed a half arm blow on his adversary's eye ; ionic smart hitting ful• lowed at all points, and nothing bat good earnest was meant. Beth went does wisded. 2. A very (see cowl, and strong exchange, of hits on equality. The rush of Hall, a/a Gas, was well envois, and it told is this ►ownd spot the nose of Neale, which emitted Claret in spoonful. It was trick aed tic, as both were Warded in prime order. 3. Hall had the best of this ►ound, which was one of a mangling kind. Hall cleared ins coarse and floored his adeersary. 4. Neale bled freely hem the nose, and after bitting Hall closed upon hies, sad had • try at securing. Both men wasted a slice of Randall's tattles at this gam►.

Both stew had vest fusight themseltea, sad much hug ging look place in distress in the two subsequent runnhs. 6. A manly Aghtiwg round, in which Neale bad decidedly the beep, and he threw his man well. The 9th was a lame round, but the 10th was the hest in the fight. Neale suet his adversary's rush by a left-handed seer, which he shook his bead at, •nmuzzled, and turned to at real work. The men doe's' twice, and broke loose SCOW/ and returned to slaughter work, sod fought each other to their lest aisainine. They even fought when half down. 11. Neale here began to fight opus a winning system, and, as Bob Grego*, used to say, he made use of his peed. IA hen both were tired, Neale fought at • point, breaking ground, and receiving his adversary's head with his kit inanieg, upon the rush, which arced hiss oat, and ekaneeriffed it uncommonly.

JUEIGNI ENTS. THE KING •. BRIGI.E. The ArroaNsv-Gsmestsi. moved the judgment of the Court on this Defendant, the late Governor of Itchr.u , gaol, who WH, convicted at the lute So mernet A +Kites, on un information charging him with cruel treatment of the pristosierr under his care, and more especially with illeg4lly applying • blister to the head of Thomas Gardner, one of the Prisoners in custody on u criminal charge. The Jury found him Gitifiy, but recommended him to mercy. Mr. Justice Beer having read the Judge's notes taken at the trial, the Defendant put in his own affidavit in mitigation of lommlim,qtt. It stated, that he had for six years been mate of • prison ship, during which period not a single complaint had been 'suede against him ; that un his appoint ment to the situation at Ilchrster he had a most arduous duty to perform, and was placed in great difficulties from the inefficiency of the regulations and *discipline of the prison. but that he bad re. duced the weight of the irons worn by the prisoners, and in all his conduct towards them had been actu ated by feeling% of humanity and kindness. With respect to the Prisoner Gardner, he wars man of desperate character and conduct, and the punish nsent of the blister was suggested by the surgeon. 'the affidavits of Sir John Acl.ind; the Earl of Cork ■tid Ossory ; Capt. Smith, commander of one oh the hulks at Woolwich; Colonel Anderson, com manding the let regiment of Somersetshire feu cibl,s ; and of several of the counts' Magistrates; the Clerk of the Peace, and other Gentlemen of the county, giving the Defendant • most excel. lent character for humanity, and the faithful and meritorious discharge of his duty. Several affi davits of individuals (relatives of unf•rivaste per. sons who bad been sodev the Defendant's charge) were also read,spesking in the highest terms of the benevolence sod humanity of the Defendant towards those unhappy persons. , .. No affidavits were put in on the pert of the proseciiiion. ... ___ _ ___ • Mr. G. P. WILLIAMS then rose, and addressed the Court in mittgalion of punishment. He urged, with considerable feeling and eloquence, that, con sidering the expense which the Defendant had sus. taiated, the anxiety of mind which he had buffered, and the dismissal from his office, that he had al ready been sufficiently punished for the offence of which he had been found guilty. Mr. Justice BAY LET inquired if there were not other charges against him ? Mr. G. F. WILLIAMS—" Oh, yes! my Lord, more numerous than the letters of the alphabet, and all originating in one individual, to whom he had not desired to advert, but wherever he cane anarchy and confusion followed; like the indivi dual of old, it might be said of him, that where his footsteps leLI the grass never grew." The CHIEF JUSTICII—" We had better refrain from this topic." Mr. WILLIAItIi resumed.—He had no wish to advert to this subject, ■nd would press it no fur. thee, but would now call upon their Lordships in the name of the public, whose faithful servant the Defendant had been for so many years, in the name of the hundreds of prisoners who would bear testi mony to his humanity and kindness, iii the name of the highly respectable Magistrates of the county who had this day come forward to bear testimony to his good conduct; on all these grounds he would humbly ask of their Lordships, that the sentence they pronounced on the Defendant Should be such only as would deter others from falling into such errors of judgment, but not such as from its seve rity the public might deplore. Mr. Rwlttda followed on the same side, and in addition to the arguments of Mr. Williams. urged as an extenuation of the Defendant's conduct, the difficulties of the situation in which he was placed, the riotous conduct of the prisoner Gardener, and the absolute necessity there was to preserve subor dination in the prison. Mr. M•rNIA6 said a few words on the same side. The ATTORNIT-GENIRAL. in aggravation, ob served, the Defendant was not dismissed from his situation in consequence of the charges contained in this indictment, but upon several other charges. He admitted that the Defendant must have suffered great anxiety, and have been put to considerable expense, and was, desires, that he should have the benefit of the adenission with their Lordships. He was likewise ready to admit that the atisation which the Defendant bad held was • difficult one; but the question now before she Court iris, whether • gaoler, who had of his own will attempted to intro duce a new and illegal species of punishment i n to the prison of which he had the control, was a fit subject for public Prosecution end punialneut. it was not because an individual had forfeited his life to the laws of his country that he was to be made • subject of arbitrary and capricious putushment, at the will of auy itsdividual. He (the Attorney-Ge neral) regretted to see that an attempt had been made by affidavit te-clay to say that the punishment of Gardener did imt originate with the Defendant, but with the rurron. Did not the Defendant re collect that whets examined before the Magistrate lie acknowledged that the punishment originated with himself? Mr. Justice B.A.TLET-w“ That fact is not before us, Mr. Attorney-General." The ATTORNEW-GENWL said. it was so, not withstanding ; but he would admit, if the Defend ant desired it, that the punishment was suggested by the surgeon. What if it was so ? 'llse De fendant had adopted it. ChM, he would ask, did it happen that ibis novel punishment wee not enter ed in the occurrence-book ? There was indeed sit entry, stating t bat Gardener weir put into solitary cots. finement for misconduct, but not a word of the blis ter or thee:reit waistcoat.

He did not wish to withdraws from the consideration of their Lord ships the Defendant's previous good conduct, but he tow also remind their Lordships that a t,erious charge had been made against the Defendant ; that charge had been in►estigated, and he bad been found guilty by a Jury of the county in which he had desired to he tried. He (the Attorney-Genesi roll looped he should not be charged with pressing with unnecessary severity sgsinat the Defendant. lie had now discharged his duty, and it only re mained with their Lordships, in whom the poser was most wisely vested, to say what punishment should follow. He bad only to ask, that it might be such as would meet the Defendant's case, and deter others f►om follnwwg the same course. The Cater JUsTICZ, after consulting with the other Judges, directed that the Defendant should be brooght up to receive the judgment ofthe Court to-morrow. Wit KING r. WILLIAMS. Mr. Scautterr moved For the judgment of the Court on this Defendant, who it will be recollected was found guilty on en information, charging him with having published in the Durham Pape►, of which he is Proprietor, • libel on the clergy of that diocese. Mr. Justice BEST read the notes taken by the Learned Judge at the trial. Mr. BIOtIGIIIAM said, he had to apply to their Lordships first fur an arrest of judgment, and if he should fail on that ground, for • new trial is this case. Upon the counts in the indictment the De fendant was charged with printing and publishing a libel of and concerning the religion of the esta blished church, and of and concerning the clergy of the united church of England and Ireland, and the clergy residing in and near the city of Dutbilio ■nd the suburbs thereof. The Ju►y found for the Defendant as regarded the established church and the clergy thereof; but found him guilty of a libel on the clergy of the city of Durham and the sub. orbs thereof. Now, it was upon this point that he had to apply to their Lordships for an arrest of judgment. The offence of which the Defendant had been found guilty was different to that de scribed in the information. This was his first ground for arrest of judgment ; his second pound was, that the offence as set out was too uncertain for the Court to proceed to judgment on the verdict. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to contend that to support this verdict there should have been • separate averment, as regarded the clergy of Durham, which there was nut, the words '6 , of and concerning" not being inserted. He, therefore, contended that the clergy of Durham must be taken as forming • part of the clergy of the eats. blished church, and the Jury having founds ver dict of not guilty on that count, could not find it verdict of guilty on a part of it. This opinion, he contended, was held by the Court in the case of Lewis a. Walter, argued two or three times before their Lordships. The Defendant was there charged with a libel upon the Plaintiff, and upon him in his character of attorney. Mr. ScAteLsre remined his Learned Friend that the Court had not yet given an opinion ou that Case. Mr. BROUGHAM uas not aware of that fact, but he had a case in which the Defendant was charged with a libel en the Plaintiff. in 'his characters of an appraiser and carpenter. The libel was found on the appraiser, but not on the carpenter, and judge ment in that case was arrested. In the present case the libel was charged on the clergy of the esta blished church, •of which the clergy of Durham formed a part. and from which they could not • -: separated ; but allowing the libel could have been proved against the clergy of the city of Durham, the description here was too uncertain—" The clergy of the city of Durham and its suburbs." This de scription might embrace all the sectarians of the city said suburb.. Mr. Jost ice BEST—" Have they ever been Call. ed • The Clergy ?' " Mr. BROUGHAM believed they had. at least the Itt.usan Catholics were so distinguished. There was ut present a Bishop in Ireland, why load taken his early degrees in the Catholic church. He must neat advert to the uncertainty of the description generally, " residing in and near Durham ;" this might be within nne toile or two, within ten miles and twenty, according, to d fferent persons opinions; but if the description had been of the clergy of Durham only, he contended this would not have been sufficient ; ler at the time his Learned Friend obtained the rule, it was granted by the Court specifically for a libel on the established chord,. and he was convinced the Court would not have granted the rule on other grounds. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to cite cases to sli.w that the Court had always held specific dracription n#. c y.
