Be tween eleven and twelie o'Clock the company be 7 gari to assemble numbers came full dressed, as it was intended for a dress-meeting. By about one o'clock the Triwn Hall was so completely filled with company, that there was hatdly a possibility of moving. The table Was very elegantly covered. The Mayoress was attended" by several Ladies of Fashion: The tipper table Consisted of =tea; coffee; choice fruits, and confeCtionaty of all kip.ds. The long table was supplied with poultry, jeklies, pastry, Btc. There was a great abundance of pine apples and the choicest fruits and wines: The ornaments of the long table consisted of His Majesty on his Throne, in his robes, with the Lion at his feet, over which' hung an elegant cdnopy, embellished with various' devices. On each side or the pillars were figures presenting fruits, &c. The orna ment on the loWek part of the table was a repre sentation of the grand Procession which toyk place the first day of the Jubilee. . The company were entertained during the break fast with an - excellent Band. After the company were refreshed, the tables were cleared' away, and they promenaded the two Halls for some time. There was afterwards a good deal of dancing. Lady Sus CARPENTER danced with Lord GARDNER. In the evening the Theatre• was crowded to an overflow for MuNDEN's Benefit. Part of the Pit was laid into the Boxes. The Performances were The Farmer, The Child of Nature, and The Rival Soldiers. . . During the Jubilee the exertions of the Police deserve every degree of credit. One of the most notorious of the London gang olpick.pockets is in custody. His apprehension was effeeted by the information given by'..an- old offender, who was lately admittect King's evidence on a trial.

" Lieutenant-General CHARLES Baron Howl_ PERCH, and Captain Baron EBEN (late of the York Hussars), have lately arrived here from London in a Pleasure-boat, named the Mermaid (a small. ves sel of only four tone burtheni and the same; as is reported here, in which the General once before went to Holland). The reception given them by the FRINGE of WALES was truly charaderistic of that politeness and affability for which His Royal Highness is sq superLetninentlY diatingtiished: 7 :— They tVere invited to his daily table and at the Races he furnished them With horses from his Royal Stud. The PitINCE presented to each of .these Gentlemen a very elegant Turkish Sword. The G.eneral.and Captain EDEN are going from hence in this little vessel to Havre de Grace," the Marley Indiarnan from China, arrived in a very leaky condition in the-Downs, making nearly twelve inches water per hour.

Since quitting this Country, he has re- sided in Hamburgh, and was reduced to the most abject state of poverty. On Sunday evening -last, the' following dreadful accident happened. A very genteel dressed man having got behind. one of the Stratford Stages, he unfortunately got entangled in the wheel, which at length drew him almost doubly between the spOkes, and impeded the progresS of the carriage. ~ To ex. tricate the unhappy man, it cvas found necessary to take 'off the wheel, when his head appeared nearly severed from his body, and otherwise shockingly mangled. 'He was -taken to the Plough, at Mile End, where he now lies for- the inspection of the Coroner's Inquest. . MANSION-HOUSE.—Yesterday .a man of the name of Cunningham was charged before the Lord Mayor with being ore of those desperate charatlers called Bullock Hunters. ..Richard Tip per, a City Officer, told his Lordship, that -hay ing an information of the Prisoner and twenty more assembling in Houndsditli on Sunday' night last, and watching a drove of Bollocks going to Smith field, they hunted one from the drove, and car ricd it off.. From the description and former know ledge of the. Prisoner, they had every reason to suppose he was one of them. They were likewise charged with carrying off several persons hats, and a - fine new hat being found on the Prisoner's head, it was ordered to be taken care of till they should see if any person claims it, or-if he bought it as he pretends he did.

THE following conversation too .plac e at a visit made by the Princes to thg Nabob WALLA4Ait,.on the 21st. Tuckee, izzo (answering to about- the toth of, June '1792). • We presented Nuzzurs of eleven gold Moburs to, the Nabob WALLAJAH, of which his Highness took one, and using, embraced us and said, " May God long preserve Tri4oo SULTAUT , I, who is the pillar of the religion of Mahommed. Night and day I used to be absorbed in this contemplation; and to pray for his Highness's prosperity ; I call God to• witness this fat, because the confederacy of three Allies was for the subverSion• of the Mahomedan Religion.

When the Princes ,and we ,took leave of the Na_ bob WALLAJAH, and were going away, he came up to us, arid with a great deal of warmth desired us to stay, as he had something to say to us. We replied, we were ready. He then tOld us—that his life was now drawing to a close—that fot what had hither to taken place between, his Highness and your Ma jesty there was no remedy ; but now, merely out of a regard to the Faith (of which your Majesty was a' pillar) he was desirous of establishing a cordial harnicihy with yotir Majesty ; and if we, having in view the elainii of both Parties\ (upon our endea yours) would in the presence of God exert ourselves foethis purpose, the Almighty would reward us ; and both Parties would reap the benefits of this event, which were great and numberless ; that al though- his Highness wanted to preVent the War between Your Majesty and the ibiee Allied States, yet that NIZAM ALLI KHAUS, at the latter period of his life, wasthus preparing for futurity, by ex erting himself for the destruftion of Religion. It was' solely from a regard to the Faith, that his Highnesi - did not encourage the measure, and that he now, declared that, in thousand points of view, it was advisable that perfeft harmony shatild reign ,between your Majesty and his Highne'ss:, s We re plied; that we would UndoUbtedly report all, thiS to your Majesty. • FARTHER VX.TRACi. - - ON the 24. th Tuckee (13th June .1 - 70) WAL LAJAII, OMDUT UL OMRAH, and HUSSEIN NAW.

HiS Highness tOok occasidn to observe, that we considered hith to ,have been an enemy, whereas he declared in the presence of God, that he was not; and is not ; that, on the contrary, he was a friend and well-wisher ; and that he had opposed - the breach between your Majesty and the three Allied States, to such a degree, that every one de cided in his own mind, that inwardly your Majesty and his Highness were one ;. and he 'desired us to ask Lord CORNWALLIS and .General MEADOWS, who were present,, whether he said true or not.

Qn the Bth Tehejeh (2,5 th July 1752) the Nabob WALi.AJAH sent a message to US by MiiiiosastaD AiipooLLA KHAN, that the foll Owing day, being that preCeding the Eed, he would; if we desired it; pay a visit to the Prin.Ces, as he was very anxious to see his sons (as lie called them). In re... ply, we begged he would give out respeds, .and represent to his Highness, that the 'Houses of the Princes, and they themselves; Were his own, and that the Princes were his gtieSts; that he was their superior, and his company there would afford than much happiness'; but that; if he .wished 'it, -we otirselVes' would most readily attend him. Accord.. ingly at oue pans of the following day (abOut nine o'clock) WALLAJAI-f, accompanied by OMDUT OMRAH and HAs3EIN NEWAUZ KHAN, paid.a visit-. to the Princes; and taking them upon his knees for about two hotirs, bleSsed them, and said,=—May God long and perininently preserve the shadow of Tirioc; SULTAUt extended over you and me, since • in this age the preservation Of religion :depends upon him alone. I have' passed My eightieth year,. and in that: time many are .the things I have seen and done; acid experienced. 'What is , passed is passed sn4 God only knows what futurity- may biing to light. At present the rrraintenance of te ligion rests with TIPPOO SULTAUN, and may God preserve and keep him victorious and triumphant. I adnot Say' thiS Merely in your presence ; but I say it, taking.to witness - lima who knows all that is hidden. Night and daya after the prayers of the day, and on Friday after public devotion, I-offer, up my prayers (meaning for Tx rpoo SULTAVN) and require the people also to do the same. His High ness spoke, to ds,alSo in terms of great warmth and friendship, 'and after sitting two hours went away. As WALLAIAII had paid a visit to the Princes, it became .necessary that they should return it, .and consequently they waited upon him the next day, which Was the Eedoo ZOha (or Feast of the Camel); the Nawaub, accompanied by °moor art OMR Ali and the other Sirdars, came out to meet him as on the Feast Day, and having assisted the Princes in alighting from their. palanquins, rook theni within the house, where he repeatedly earessed them both, and said—" God preserve the Sultaun in safety, for through him alone these rituals and observances of the faith (alluding probably 'to the Eet?) yet re main.". He then observed to In nay conver sation with you, I Spoke to you upon the subject of establishing a friendship and 'harmony between me and TIPPOO Su nrAtr Have you intimated it to him, and have . you received a favourable an. saver ?" We replied,that we had set forth to your Majesty, word for word, the friendly sentiments his Highness had expressed ; and drat your Majesty had written in reply, that friendship, union, and brotherly:regard had from the beginning beers established among the professors of Islanism, as was evinced by , the testimony of the Holy Book, agreeably to the prescriptions of which your Ma. jesty wished, that cordial friendship and attach ment should, Without prejudice or partiallity, be established between the followers of the faith, as the means of supporting the religion of MAttosa.. men , : and that your Majesty added—" God pre serve the Nawaub WALLAJAH, who is a Prince, and one of the leaders of the. faithful, and, a pillar' of the faith." ' At the term, " a pillar of the faith," the NaWaub could'not suppress his tears, and said, . " I am what know myself to be. Tell the Sul.. taun, that he is. the pillar of the faith ; and may God preserve him and grant•him a long life, since I and all Mussultnen detive support froth him ; for otherwise the state of affairs here is evident. That which is evident does 'not require explanation." We also,fin conformity to your Majesty's com mands mentioned to 'his Highness in a becoming mariner, i whatever there was to State upon the aub jed of friendship and attachment. His Highness replied—" to consideration of the complexion of the times, the state of - which is manifest, and that the sUppOrt of the religion of MAHOMMED in this country entirely depends upon the Sultaun; my nightly \ and daily'prayer is offered up for his good." He theh said to the Princes-- ; " Oh my sons if my life alad property can be of -any service ,to you, God is witness that I will not refuse them to you." He then gave orders to the Superintendant of the gardens, to carry every day,fruits" and' flowers to the Prince, before his (the Nabob's) own children ; and said to os=" You are not acquainted with the state and 'order of affairs here. Consider rue from my heart your - well-svisher and sincere friend; and at all times be assured, that in whatever I may he able to effe6l your benefit; either by word or deed, I will not decline' my exertions.- What I said and wroie to his Lordship upon the subjea •of making peace, God well knows who was then or is' now desirous of it. HiS Lordship, however,-possessed -uncontrouled au thority, was a man of wisdom, and listened to the advice of others, and my observations made an im pressibn upon him. God pre‘erve you and me from the wicked designs of others." Major Doveton, and another officer, being of the party, his High.. ness appealed to them, observing, that they had
