COUNTY BALL AND SUPPER, The hope we indulged that the celebration of our immortal. Hero's Victories was only delayed, has now been realized, and in the metropolis of the County that gave him birth.- 7 All that classic taste, the most extensive liberality, joined to the unre mitting efforts and attentions of the Stewards and the Gentlemen of thi. County, who planned and kindly undertook the management, could effeet, combined to exhibit a scene of splendour as far su perior to any thing ever witnessed in Norwich as the glorious occasion transcends all praise. On our entrance into the Saloon, we found it con verted into an o&angular form by large and superb . paintings ; on which were represented massy naval columns, supporting the name of our departed hero. The space between the columns was enriched with naval trophies, and the names of his most signal vic tories—Aboukir, Copenhagen, Trafalgar, &c. the whole surmounted by' Genii descending with Vic tory crowned with laurel. The front of the bar, and the space between the columns, was occupied by emblematical naval devicei, and a superb cornuco piw, with the motto, " Viaory produces Peace and Plenty." Ilound the floor was chalked in colours, a border of °al:leaves and acorns, and in the centre h large anchor. The coup d'ceil of this room was truly grand, and does infinite credit to Mr. DIXON, the ar tist, by whom it was designed and painted. The Company, amounting to 47(3, assembled about eight o'clock, and were received by the Stew ards, with their wands of office. Amongst the company we observed the High Sheriff; Earl-. and Lady Caithness, Lady Suffield, Lady Caroline Harbord, 14 , .rd and Lady Bayning, Hon. Capt. Towtishend and lion. Miss Townshend, Lord and Lady IVodehouse, Hon. Colonel and Mrs. Wodehouse, Hon. Misses Wodehouse, Mrs. P. Wodehouse, Hon. Col. Harbord, Lord Bradford, Sir K. K. Bedingfeld and Lady, Mrs. William lernmgham, Sir K. Ker rison anti Lady, Lady Beauchamp, Lady Bacon, Lady Berry, Sir . 1. H. Astley and Lady, Colonels Smith and Preston, Major Laton, Generals Milner and Money, Colonels Patte son awl Harvey, Mr. Jodrell, I'. A. Kernson, Esq. Sir John Lombe, Mrs. Bathurst, T. B. B. Petre, Esq. an-. 1 many other persons of distindion. The. Ball-room was ornamented with a transpa relit painting, by Mrs. COFFIN, representing Bri tannia seated on a rock, holding a tablet encircled with laurel, with this inscription, " Nelson lives, though dead." Behind her the British Standard sur mounting those of France and Spain ; and in the distance, the view of the Coast of Egypt and the Bay of Aboukir, It was soon filled by , all the beauty and fashion of the County, and after a sufficient pe riod for congratulation, ikc.. the Ball was opened by the • Higli Sheriff and the Hon. Miss TOWNSHEND. The Dancers, amounting to 100 couple, were dis posed in four sets, distinguished by the names of the Hero's, four great vidories. The splendour of their attire, the. animation glowing. in their looks, heigh tened by the occasion of their meeting, produced an effe& on all present not to be described. Ti.e choicest refreshments were continually served during the four hours tae dancing continued, and not only in plenty, but profusion. Hours, were but minutes, and surprise seemed for a moment the predominant sensation when the supper room was thrown open. The,upper end was occupied by an admirable transparent likeness of Lord NELSON (a copy from Sir Was. BEECHEY'S Pic ture), by Mrs. CoPPlN,,,accompanied by two alle gorical transparencies by Mr. Di xoN ,inchiarobscuro; the One side representing Britannia pointing to her favourite son, and exhibiting a scroll, on which are recorded his high achievements ; and on the other; Neptune seated in his car, mourning his loss : the whole adorned with wreaths ollaurel most tastefully displayed. At the lower end was a transparent painting (by Mrs. C.) of a Sailor unfurling a scroll, with this inscription, " In honour of the glorious Vidory off Cape Trafalgar gained by the Immortal Hero, Lord NELsow, a native of this County ;" the whole adorned with wreaths of laurel. One continued blaze, of wax tapers lighted up three long 'tables, c overe d with the choicest delica cies that the liberality of the Gentlemen Could furnish, or gold procure; interspersed with pyramids, emble matical naval devices, Sm.—The High Sheriff pre sided at the centre table ) ; Lord BAINING, Lord WODEUOUSE, the Hon. Col. HARMED, the Hon. Col. WODEHOUSE, Sir H. ASTLEY, Col. SMITH COI. PRESTON, Major LATON,. and 'the Rev, Mr. DMONSTONE, superintended as Presidents and Vim presidenta of the remaining tables. After supper the High Sheriff gave " the immortal memory of Lord NELSON." The Ladies left the room ; thd Gentlemen then seated themselves,. , and the following Toasts were given from the Chair,— " The KiNo,"--" Admiral Lord COLLINGWOOD, and the Heroes of Trafalgar,",-" Sir IL STR ACHAN," The Norfolk Ladies." An appropriate Song was then sung. by Capt. MANGY; and after a short relaxation, the Gentlemen returned to the Ball room ; the dancing recommenced, and continued with undiminished, spirit till six o'clock, when the co began to separate. M T P hU i s lY concluded an entertainment, condu&ed in a stile, that whether our remembrance turns to the profnsion and delicacy of the refreshments, the splendour and taste of the decorations,- or to that general happiness that seemed diffused over all, we are almost tempted to say, " We_ne'er shall look upon its like again."—But we trust that the same native taste will again be awakened, when we may be - called upon to celebrate the Halcyon days of Peace ; or when Britain's future NELsoNs may again sound the Trump of Vietory.

The Duks of YORK trausa&ed business with His MAJESTY at Windsor OUThursday morning. bOVER, DEc. 20. A General Session of the Peace and Gaol De livery for this place and its Liberties was held here yesterday, when the &flowing Prisoners were tried and convi&ed, Richard Pickett, for sending an anonymous threatening letter to Phineas Kennett, Esq. Mayor of Dover, with an intent to extort money from him.—Ordered to be committed for six calendar months. Elizateth Weelcion,single.woman, for feloniously stealing from the dwelling-house of Wm. Coul thorp, in Dover, one dimity petticoat, a velvet bon net, four pair of cotton stockings, a shawl and a tippet, the property of Ann Coulthorp.---Ordered to be imprisoned one week, and once privately whipped. Wm. Pettit, blacksmith, of Dover, and Sarah, his wife, for an assault on Sarah, wife of John Su therland.—Ordered the former to be imprisoned one calendar month, and the latter two. Richard Watson, carpenter, for an assault on Maurice Kavanagh.—Ordered to be imprisoned one week. A young Gentleman, a Midshipman in the Navy, was indi6ted for •a . misdemeanour the circum stances of his case were as folloW—Being at Mar gate about four or five months ago, and in imme diate want of a few pounds to defray his necessary expenses, he applied to the banking-house of Cobb and-Son, who advanced him 151. upon his giving them a draft on his Agent, which, upon being pre sented for acceptance, was dishonoured, the Agent supposing from the youth's having a short time be fore. drawn upon him at Portsmouth or Plymouth, where . his Ship lay, that he still remained there, and that 'some person at Margate had personated him. Messrs. Cobb and Son thinking they had been swindled, had him apprehended, and this un fortunately was the cause of his being Committed to prison, where ,he remained -between 'four and five months. The Agent,..upon being apprised of the Midshipman's being at Margate,. admitted that he 'knew him, and had done bu s i n e ss f or him, his fit ther and mothers.for many years. In the mean time the money was restored to Cobb and Son, and it so clearly appeared to the Court that there was no in tention of committing any fraud, that it had no he- • sitation in honourably acquitting him. He appears to be a youth-, under 20, and it is said has served his time as Midshipman, (some part of which under the late Lord Nelson), and has passed or is about to pass as Lieutenant. 'No Prosecutor appearing against Charlotte Hills, for felony, she was consequently discharged. Mary Dowell, indicted for stealing a petticoat and shift, the property of Edward Worthington,' was or dered to be acquitted. LORD VALEXTIA.-.-We are happy to say that ac counts have been .recei% ed of this spirited and enter prizing Nobleman. His Letters are dated Mocha, April ,e 2. He had surveyed the Coast:of the Red Sea as far as Latitude and thus ,elucidated the Geography of the Periplus. He will produce a more accurate Description and Chart of the Red Sea than has yet appeared. He was to remain at Mocha till the change of the Monsoon in o&ober. CHAEAPTER OF THE ItULAN the Russian attacks, be must, according to' his idea, either conquer or die. A skilful manaauvre, or a good retreat, are movements for which he has not any taste. He knows how to advance, but not to retrea. He shuns no danger, 'even though it were, ready to destroy him instantaneously. But what distinguishes the Russian from the troops" of any other nation is, his extraordinary strength. He is, indisputably; the - most hardy - of .soldiers. No attacks, however long or obstinate, fatigue him. The Russian Soldier dresses his schtschy when he can; he has no fixed timefor his meals or sleep...A Russian is ever watchful when on ser vice; sleeps when he has time, and wherever he may happen to be. He has fewer wants than. the native of any other country, and requires less expence in the field. The Russian soldiers were formerly accuss tomed neither to give nor. to accept quarter. This "habit they acquired in their wars with the Turks; but their sentiments on this subject were changed by the campaigns in Italy. As the Russian Troops are used to fighting in desert regions, they are -accom panied by a great number of carriages; ; but these are so light, and there are so many mechanics arnotig the soldiers, that any repairs which they may want are performed in a moment, without the least delay ing the march of the Army.—(Ftom a German Paper) It is remarkable, that in the War between the Prussians and Russians, the latter, at the Battle of Kunersdorff, were defeated on the first day by the great Faineaticx, and lost all their artillery : they returned to the charge the next day, re-took all their artillery, nearly destroyed the Prussian Army, and forced . the King himself to fly with a small detach.; mem. There were taut few good horses brought for sale to York Christmat show this week such as were really deserving that Chargter Were bought , at ex travagantly high prices. Early on the morning of Monday sennight the dwelling.house of Mr. Edward Lloyd, of Coalbrook Dale, was discovered to be on fire. As he lived alone, and was supposed to be at the time from home, the neighbours forced open the doOr, and discovered that thepeor man bad been cruelly mur dered in his bed, from appearances about 04 hours before ; and that the person or persons guilty of this' atrocious offence bad robbed 131 m, and set fire to the premises on the following night, with an inten tion of concealing this barbarous affair. Strong sus picion,,however, being entertained against Edward Clemson, who lived close by; and who was the person last seen to be with the deceased late on Sa• turday night, he was taken up ; and after ekamina» urination before George Goodwin, Esq. and the Rev. Townsend Forester, Justices of the Peace for the Hatichise of Wenlock, 'he was committed to 'take his trial at the ensuing AsSizes. On Sunday morning last a bag was taken out of • the river Eden, behind the Swifts, near. the city of Carlisle, which, when opened, was found to contain the body of, a new-born child, which appeared to have been in the water for some time. The Um man wrerch who - committed this dreadful deed, find ing the bag not large enough for admitting the child, bad severed , frem the body both legs and an - , arm.—Coroner's Verdi& Wittia *murder against Cfl,llP 4101,1%11 11 , 11. 41A1,11110 PI llivanAt..• PbacE. PUBLrc-OrFrCE, BOW-ariteET.—Repeated 0:2414 praints' having been made at the Oeneral Post-Office, that a gteat number of letters put into a Receiving house since the month of March last, had not reach ed the persons as direded, Mr. Parkin, the Solicitor of the 'Post-Office, employed an Officer to make inquiries, and direded him to call last Tuesday even ing upon the Assistaht,at the Receiving-house, who very readily agreed to accompany him to Mr. Par kin's house, iu Great Ormond -street, when he gave such a satiSfadory account, that be was not detained. On Wednesday morning, however,'Arm Herring, ,of Ormond-yard, found a 61. and two 21. Bank-nots on the west side of Devonshire-street, torn in a number of pieces. They not being in a negotiable state, her friends advised her to take them to the Bank, which she accordingly did, where, on examination by a Clerk, the 51. note proved to be one which had peen inclo'sed in a letter put into the ReCeiving-house on Monday, the 11th of November, and which had not come to hand. On the circumstance being coin municated to the Officer, .he recolleded that the Assistant of the Receiving-house walked on that side of Devonshire- street ,where the notes were found by the woman. The Assistant Was of course an, prehended, and committed for farther examination on: Tuesday se'nnight. - UNION-HALL.—Theparti6 in the business where two mothers claim one child, came on again to be heard before GIDEON FOURNIER, PETER BROADLEY; and Tiles. FISH, Nott positively swore again,that the child was her's that she was ..born on the gth of Otiober, 1803, and that when she was put to bed, Dr. Hough, of Percy -street, Rathbonc place, was sent for, but that Nature had performed its effort before the boaor's arrival. She had been married, but had left her husband fur some time, and a man named George English was the father of the child • she also' Sworepositiely to the id ent i ty of the child now produced, and that it was her's. Mr. Nott, ,her husband, mentioned her leaving him without any reasonable cause, little more than four years since, and that no subsequent cohabita tion had taken place ; that two years since she sent him a letter, saying she had been delivered of a child about six weeks before, and had it christened in his name, and as his child ; he took no notice, of the letter, as he had long ceased to pay any attention to her, nor had be ever seen or bad any knowledge of the child. Mrs. Hopkins, in very decided terms, swore, that the child ,was her's, and WitS born on the 13th of OEtober, 1803, at her mother's, in Cartwright -street, Westminster ; that Dr. Hopkins of the Guards laid her; and that she had received so much injury in her lying-in as to endkinger her life, and prevent her being able to nurse the child; that,she therefore was induced to put the child in the care of. Mrs. Nott, who then went by the name of Peitrey, and in pur suance of her e.rnest request let the child be chris tened in• her name, and as her child. Mrs. Nott now refuses to deliver up, the child, and therefore the real m o the r , : as s h e terms aei Comes before the Magistrates for their interposition. Mr. Wool burn, a publican, corroborated this testimony, anti also swore to th.: identity of the child., Sonve collateral evidence was produced, and the Magistrates wishing for further time to deliberate, adjourned the case until the Attars Hopkins and Hough can attend, and some written documents be produced. • MARLBOROUGU-STRELT.---An important decision on the Building Aa, took plide yesterday at this Office.. Mr. Beazeley, an. Architect, w as ch arg . ed some time si nce by Mr. Cockerel', District Surveyor in the Parish of St. George's, Hanover square,. with ereeting a portico on the'estate of Lord Berkeley, in Berkeley -street, Piccadilly, and thereby . incurring a public . nuisance. The charge failed in two - instances, for want ot evidence :to'prove. Mr. B. the proje6tor, or the builder; and it was yesterday brought forward in another:shape, by charging Mr.., Wm. Hitchins, the builder. Mr. Cockerell and twa of his Clerks gave evidence with respell to the per. tico, which projeOed 3 feet 8 inches from the level with the houses, having small openings on each side. It was, according to their belief, a close portico, within the meaning of the Ad of 'Parliament.--- , Two other witnesses proved the D.:.fendant to have been the builder, one of whom, however, was of opinion that the portico was an open one ; he also stated, that it was finished in April last, except the ornaments. Mr. ALLEY, for the Defendant, did not mean to say that such porches were neighbourly, or to be en. couraged; but the one in question was not subjeCt to the,controul of the Legislature. The information also appeared to be incorretl, for a witness had proved that the building was finished in Ap.ul, and above three months had elapsed before the complaint was preferred, which was contrary to the words of the Aa of, Parliament. Several eminent Surveyors were called by the De fendant, to give their opinion resredino the portico. They all considered it an open one, blt their defi nition differed respedino it. Mr. Beauley stated, that he consulted the first Architects in London respeding the porch before it was begun, and his opinion was 'fully corroborated, that no sort of objedion could be taken to it. Th e Magistrates; after a l ong hearing, were of opinion that the evidence before them was not a sufficient conviction in their minds that the portico was with in the meaning of the Legislature. The business could be farther argued by an appeal to the Sessions against the conviction. The Defendant was held in sureties of 1001. to abate the nuisance within a month, Mr. ALLEY gave notice of an, appeal to the Sessions " The longer the delay, the cheaper the pur chase," has been found a very erroneous do&rine ire almost every Stite Lottery for the last twenty yeltrs; but the inducements to an earlypossession of chances never so forcibly operated as in the new Scheme— as no former one ever presented so great on interest as what the first-drawn 6000 numbers m this Lot tery display.
