The PRINc E ALES was met at Temple-bar lc (i t.Y Marsl t _ Ru v al . s, whose intention was to escort . c acti;, t,t.ighuess to the IVlansionAiouse ; but his N•ice' t _. l . 1 . s e4rce entered the City, when the po_ Quit the horses fiorw his coachi and drew him with loud huzzas. At the Old Bailey; a de. tachment of the City Militia was stationed as an escort, thought it was of little mie, as the mob . would not forego the satisfaCtion of drawing the Heir Apparent. . The PRINCE was attended in his carriage by the DUKE of CI. ARE tIC E, Mr. ERSKINE, and Lord IVIotRA. In second Royal Carriage were the illuitz of CUMBERLAND ; and some . of His Royal Highness's friends. About six o'clock, the doors of the Egyptian Hall were thrown open to the Company, consisting of about three hundred and forty persons. The PR INC E was conducted to the upper en&of the Hall, and was seated'on the right hand of the boßDMAxoit, who had the LADY MAYOR ESS on his left, the other Princes sitting next to his Royal Highness. As so many of the Nobility were invited, it was intended to afford them the best possible accommodation; and to place them according to rank ; but it was found impossible to' carry this part of the arrangement into effeCt, as the pressure was so great. As soon as the cloth was removed, and the usual toasts of the City drank, the first Toast that was giVen was— " The Kt ,c"—with three times three. And " Goa save the KiNc"—in full chorus. The LORD MAYOR, in a neat speech, compli mented the Royal Family, and concluded with giv ing, the PRINCE of WALES, with three times three. This toast was received with universal bursts of ap plause, and drank with ecstacy by every person present. After which His Royal Highness the PRINCE of WALES returned the Company thanks in a speech of considerable length, eulogizing on the Company for their sentiments' of loyal attachment, which was followed with a thunder of applause. " The Right'Hon. the Lord Mayor, and prosperity to the City of Lo❑dolt," • was then given by the PRINCE. The LORD MAYOR having returned thanks, re quested to give a Toast himself, and jocosely gave— " The Ladies," which occasioned some merriment. " The Duke of York, and the Army arid Navy of Great Britain," was given, and - succeeded by the favourito old tune of " Britons strike lionie, !" The LORD, MAYOR claimed benper, which was readily complied with, and his Lordship gave " Confusion to the foes of Great Britain,"—with three times three. About half-past eight o'clock the Ladies retired ; and the gentlemen continued till past nine, drinking copious libations to their host and his entertain. ment. The PRINCE was escorted to the Ball room by a procession of some of the City Officers, with the LORD MAYOR by his side,, and followed by the most numerous train of Nobility ever seen at the. Mansion-house. About•ten o'clock, the Ball was opened with a Minuet, danced by the PRINCE of WALES and Miss EAMER. The crowd was so great, that very little .page was allotted to chew the graces and elegance of the Dancers; but the minuet was well danced.— After the Minuet, a Country Dance, « The Devil among the Tailors," was called, in which the Royal Family took part, the PRINCE dancing with Miss EAMER. After the first &nee, His Royal High ness left the Ball-room, handing out the Dutchess of GORDON. The other Royal Dukes followed soon after. The PRINCE was dressed in his Regimentals, and looked in exceeding good health. The Country Dances continued till between four and fire o'clock, when the company" departed much pleased.

Mr: jErFERYs, the MeMber . for COVentry, letter which occupies more than two columns'of a New4rlper, has detailed the whole history of the person assuming the title of Sir Robeil Lathrop', Murray, Bart. and who succeeded to the,Banking house, in Portland-place, that was lately kept by John King. This person, according to the statement of Mr. JEFFE-RYs i , appears ; like Little Prerdurn, in the School for Scandal, to « have gone by more names than A. B.iin the Coffee_houses." This person, it appears by this statement`, in addition to what we have -already communicated, found !beans to obtain a commission in the, Manx Fencibles, commanded by Lord MURRAY.— During his residence, at Londonderry with the Regiment, In the year 1797, he married an' amiable `young"Lady of the name of IVI ! VRSHALL, whom he brought with him to London, and deserted her there, after having exhausted the little fortune she brought him. When this soi-d;sant Baronet was in the Manx Fencibles at Derry, he fought two duels with his brother Officers, one ,of them Colonel PEACHEY, the present Member of Parliament for New Town, and another with Capt. ANDERSON. His irregularities having compelled him to quit the Army, he came to London, where he resided, some times calling himself Colo:ynelha 771, Sir George Mur ray, Bart. and Lieut.-Colonel Wyudhanz Lathropp. "Under the latter name, (says Mr. JEFFERYs).iIe lately came to my house, and left a card, Lieut. Col.. Wyndham Lathropp, No. 14, Upper Seymour- . Street,' and left at the same time the acceptance of a young Nobleman for 2001. with a message, that he wished to take the value of it in plate. A message so extraordinary from a stranger,: with some re colledion of this man's name, and other circum stances, induced me to call upon Sir R. Fotto, td whom I expressed my suspicions that the nate was either a forgery, or, if not, that it was obtained by some ,misrepresentations frOm_ the Nobleman with whose name it was signed. It was settled that I should write to Colonel Lathropp, and to introduce him' to' the acquaintance of ToWnsend and Mac matins, whiCh was done the same' evening, and they attended him to Bow-street ; *but' the Noble man not being in town, Sir R. FORD permitted Lathrop]) . to go home, upon leaving the note to be the subjeft of a future inquiry, and upon his pro mise to return in two days, whiCh, in a letter to Sir R. FORD, he declined doing, stating as reason, a fear of being arrested. That Nobleman being since,returned, I- find by a conversation, with him, that the note was his handwriting, but oh. tamed by circumstances of great Misrepresentation as to the charader of Lathropp. The note remain ed with me, Lathropp never sent for it, and I was happy in being able- to save his Lordship from a re sponsibility fpr the sum of zool,. " On the morning after the attendance at Dow. street, I received a note from Mr. John 'King, of Portland-place, requesting to see me upon the sub jea of the error I 'was in as to the charader of 'his friend , Colonel Lathropp, that he might interpose his friendly services of accommodation before mat ters had gone too far to be iii anyone's power to ap pease. To this letter,l think . the. Public will be, of opinion that I paiti_a I , rapar aftention in not return ing any answer ; and in the course of the same day, I received another letter from Mr. John King, in which he laments than I did not attend in time'to his friendly hints in the morning ; that I need not then give myself the trouble to call upon him, as it was too late for him to be of service.: I was informed at the same time. by a 'person who had seen King, that anions were to be . brought 'against me, Sir Richard Ford, Townsend, and Macmanus. In a few days after this, the solicitude of Mr. King for the reputation of Colonel Lathropp was explained by the latter appearing, With-the title of Baronet, at the head of a firm in the Banking . ..house lately kept by King in Portland.place, in the following circu lar peoposals " BRITISU EXCAANGE SANK, PORTLAND-PLACE. " Sir ROBERT MURRAY 13R.OWN CLARKE, LLVISON, PRESCOTT, and Co " Beg leave to inform Merchants, Manufaaurers, and Ware housemen, that they have opened a Banking-House, for the purpose of giving . a general facility to the internal Trade of the Country, which it has never yet obtained, by granting acceptances, in sums of live pounds, or any greater sum, as may be desired, on gobds consigned to the house in London, and sent up . by Waggons, Canals, or other safe modes of con veyance, in a manner similar to what has been long pratiised with goods and merchandise's sent abroad. " The manneriofdoing business will be nearly as follows : Any manufaaurer or other person, at Manchester Birming ham, Sheffield, - Leeds, Liverpool, Glasgow, or other towns, who wishes to dispose of goods by selling them in .Lowion, must have them valued, and a fair invoice given, which he must forward to this house, with the receipt of the master of the waggon, stating when• the goods will be delivered in Lon don, when, by inclosing the said invoice and receipt, the pro prietor of the goods may draw at twu months for two-thirds of the value of them. ! 4 In every large town in England, a person will be ap pointed by the Bank to get the goods yarned, and sign a paper to that etieet, which will be sent up to London at the time of drawing." Mr. JETTERYS proceeds to detail the publica tions in the London Gazette, relating to the change of name assumed by this person, and the informa_ tion he gave to the Secretary of State's Office of the imposture, and concltides with saying, " The Union Bank, in which JOHN KING was a parti*r, having ceased, the Exchange Bank is to supply its place, and agents are sen.c throughout the manu faduring towns to procure goods on its acceptances. Under these circumstances; I lament that the SEI CRPTARY of STATE did not, in the second notice in the Gazette, use some expression to explain the charader of Mr. LATHORPP, and to guard the Public against him. It is, indeed, a pity that Mr. LATHORPP and other such have been so long at large ; and I regret that the task of 'exposing him and clang justice to - the Public, has been forced upon so humble an individual as I am." In answer to the above, wi'have been requested to publiih SIR ROBERT' MURRAY's REPLY. "My Baptisniin Mary-le-bone, December, 1777, will shew that my naine was Robert Windham Felton Lhthropp. The Baronetage ofMurray came into the family in 1680, by the second brother of Mtirrayi the - then Baronet, marrying Miss Lathropp, and as:. spilling her name.

Pall 7 Al:ill, April f9,' It was not my 'intention to have ent6red into an) ., Correspondence with the person 'calling Dime self Sir' Robert Lathropp lkhirray Brorzinz Clcr,te; Barr. but as the assertions in support of his pmtenii.: ed rank, in the PaperF, of to.dav, (in answer to my - Letter of Saturday), are so totallf airyderoid of ai thing like probability to support theme, I shall con.. skier myself excused: in the opinion of the Ptiblici from paying any attention' in futnre to any thing •_ he may advance. I shall, therefore, without any other observations merely answer His assertions of this day. He says his baptism was in 1777, and that lie was a Lieut:-Col. - in r 79 e, if so it was at the. earik age of is, but instead of possessing the rank of Lieutenant.-Col. in 1792, I have authority tlii day (afforded me by a very respelable Clergynianl to say, that.he did not leave school till 1793, and was after that Clerk to an Attorney. He says he way Licut. Col. in the Royal Chas_ sears, but at the War Office, where they are likely to be well-infornied on such i subjcd, it, apinkr3 there never was a Regiment so called in the British Araiy. - He says he was in the Siite of Sir P.A:LPII AiER CROMBY ; he never was belonging to the Staff ot Sir RALPH--what he means' by the Suite I do not comprehend., . _ . . . He says ha Mother, Mrs. Ann - Lathropp, is in the service of ,Her Majesty.—Her name does not' appear in the Court Calendar in the list of Her Household, nor is her name' known to any body at Buckingham-hOuSe, where an inquiry has bein made.: Lastly,. he asserts, he did not, in a letter to Sir R. Fords say, that his reason for declining to attend'; at Bow -street, was a fear of being arrested 9 but if the word of that very respeet,ible Magistrate is ra be crediied, and no Man will, I believe dispute it, Mr: Lathropp ,did, in d letter to Sir filcktAxo . , giv such a reason, and Asa" proof that his fears were no, without foundation, two Sheriffs Officerq were iii the day waiting at Bow..street to arrest him.

It appears that for want of room in his malting,' Mr. Theedham . had laid . about 3o quarters of Malt in a garret, in the room under which the deceased slept in one bed, and two, children in another in the corner of the same room. —That about ten at night the accident happened; which so alarmed Mr. Theedharn, din he ittimedi.. ately rushed to the spot, and in hiS harry, pecipi: rated himself among the ruins, and it was with Much difficulty that he made shift' to crawl out.
