Yesterday, being the Anniversary of the Birth of the PaiNca R ROE NT, was celebrated by a no. werinis parry of Gentlemen, who dined together at WlLLts's. The Venison was presented to thew by his Royal Highness, and the dinner and dessert were of the beat description. The Chevalier flus- PINI presided., and was supported by a strong corps of professional and other Vocal. Performers, who exerted themselves in a manner which di'! credit to the .occasion. The song of " God Save the Regent," written by Mr: J J. STOCK DALB, and composed by Mr. NATHAN, was swig most de lightfully by DIGNUM, WEBBE, &c., and as the winds are SUCII as cannot fail to excite suitable feelings of loyally, we subjoin them. God save the Regent, long may he reign, The voice of his country re-echoes the strain; God save the Regent And Victory's conquest shall chorus the lay, While Peace, deck'd by Conquest, enriches his sway. God save the Regent, long may he reign, The voice of his country re-echoes the strain. God save the Regent. Though the palm and the olive his wreath doth entwine, And splendour of peace As of war round him shine, God save the Regent! Rude Faction the Prince and his People would sever, Oh, God save the Regent, and England for ever! God save the Regent, long may, he reign. The voice of his country re-echoes the strain, God save the Regent! Pride cif the Empire, refuge of Kings, His glory, his fame thrnngh the universe rings, God save the Regent! For his high laurel'd trophies he'd only increase, To give to all nations wealth, happiness, peace; God save the Regent, long may he reign, The voice of his country re-echoes the strain, God save the Regent ! A Glee on the Battle. of Waterloo, for three voices, written by the author of Fitz-Flo: lan's phabet, and set to music by NATHAN', WaS intend' ed to have been sung, buLwas probably sent- too late. It is one of the most spirited performaaces we have evrr seen, and will of course be pub-. lishecl. There were several volunteer songs, but in our opinion WEBBE. carried away the bell. Cpnviviality prevailed to a very late hour, and . the grey-eyed morn took a peep at many of the' loyal and enthusiastic guests. The Anniversary of the Ittmtir"s natal clay was also yesterday observed pretty generally, in, a va riety of ways, by different establishments and per- , sons, to show heir respectful attachment to his' Royal Highness's person. A number of the dif ferent establishments - of bells, were ringing in the course of the day. The .King's Guard 'mounted duty at Sr. James's Pjace. with the Sr.ire (gin lours, preceded by the Drum Major in his State' Uniform. The Eagle and the Hope Fire 011 ic emen, in new clothing, with their engines, pre-• ceded by bands of music, parades! the principal streets of London, Westminster, ,nnd their envi-: roils. The men belonging to the liar,!: Offire' were afterwards regaled with a dinner. The tish Fite Office, in the Strand, uas closed frOrn,' business during the day, as a close holiday. The Italian Opera House, and other public places, as w(11 as sowe of the Royal Tradesmen's houses, were. illominated. A didner was given to the Pages, and other Gentlemen of the Royal Esta- . blishinent, at Carlton-House,. as well as those of the livery there, and at the 'King's Mews. Want of room precludes us from giving an ac conot of the Ft:scival of the Loyal Society of Au-• e'en( Britons, which took ',face yesterday in honour of the Prince of WALES'S Birth-Day. The Hors. • site Artillery Company yesterday celebrated the anniversary of the birth of their. Captain.General,-his Royal Highness the ININCE REGENT, by a field-4y, and afterwards a dinner at the Armory-house. His Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, the Colonel, dined with tti.e corps on the occasion.

Sometbing more than a month since, a young woman of interesting appearance and address, aboir 20 years of age, applied at a house in George -court, AyleSbuty-street, Cleekentecll, for a lodging. She represented herself as a stranger in London, cone to town for a short time to at tend-some business in Chahcery, and wanting a lodging for a month or so. As she offered to pay her lodging in advance; no further inquiries were made, and she was accommodated. It was soots discovered by the females in the hhuse, however, that site was far advanced in a state of pregnancy ; the circhinstaece was Mentioned to her, and she did not attempt to deny it. Au apothecary in the reighbourlood was spoken - to,•to attend her in her confinement, Which event 'occurred in the early part,of last week, when She %vas safely de livered of a .tte infant. The family, however, were surpti•eif to see her next day tip, and dressed, Ned when she was remonstrated -milli, and reminded of the ri.k site ran, site made light of it. Teis and Sante other circumstances drew the attention of triteprople of the house more par tictelarly towards her, and on the evening of 'Ft i daY last, the fonrth day after she was put to bed, they olese ved her co ant with a small bag under. her are!. This induced 'Mrs. Baker, the wite of resPectahle printer, wit 4 lodges in the house, and a female friend, to follow and watch her; they traced her through several streets towards the New River, hitd when near Sadler's Wells, she paused, aS if with an intention of throwing the bag over the,parapet wall into the river, but either her re solution or her strength failed her, and she pro ceeded to the fields, where she sat down in ts retired . spot, opened the hag, and took some thing out of it, which she tied up in a bundle, and again closing the bag, took that and the bundle to the house of a gentleman near the spot, and deposited both at the door ; she teas-about to leave them in that situa when Mrs. Baker and her cOmpeninu came-for ward and prevented her.

A. watchman was called, and the in linatan mother was...taken to the watch-house.— On searching .her, there was found in her pos session epefards of 1,0001. in Bank of Ettgl..ord and Country Bank Noies. It was intended that she ' should the next clay be taken before 'the Magis erates at Hateon-garden, but the anxiety she had undergone, and- the violent exec vise of t' , e .pre ceding evening, made her so ill, that it wai found necessary to delay her examinatien. She reinoved with the utmost care to Cie week-house, where she remains till her he'alth -dual be • so far established es to permit of•her bet examined. At present she refuses to give any accoant of her self, or to answer any epte=tions. POISON OF TWO YOUNG LADIES, BY EATING BRIDE -c AKE.
