Brock, whose name must be iresh in the recol lection Of our Readers as an accomplice wi!h Vougitart, the Bow-street, Officer, made his escape from an upper window, this morning, in front of GiltspurLstrcet Compter. His Hight was obserVei by a butcher's boy, who immediately rang the alarm bell at the prison door, and communicated the circumstance, on which information was with out loss of time given to the City and other Offi cers, when, lot tunately, one of the former traced the fugitive to the lodgings of his wife, in Dritri lane, where he apprehended him, and safely eon ducted him back to his (Aqua rters.--At the timeour Paper went to press the LOun MAYOR was sitting at the Mansion House, investigating the tityste riot's escape of Brock. Vaughan is, we believe, in the same prison ; but there is no truth in the rumour that be alto escaped. There is a great crowd about the Mansion. House, awaiting the determination of the Magistrates on this oc casion. There 'is also a multitude , assembled round the prison, where the staunchions appear broken ; but it is not likely that this could, have been accomplished by the single effort of the PH. toner. 'BRIGHToN. AUG.7.—At eight o'clock yesterday evening the PRINCE REGENT, accomErmied by the Duke of Cambridge, the Earl of Fife, and General Sir B. Bloomfield, arrived at the Pavilion. Soots afterwards the Dukes of York and Cambridge, with a select party of Noblemen,-dined with the Prince Regent. This morning a merry pear of bells welcomed the arrival of the illustrious visi tors. We, understand that the. Royal Party intend honouring Lewes races with their presence, but the morning being so unfavourable may probably postpone the visit. The Duke of York has regu larly honoured the Stine Parade with his pre sence in the morning and afternoon ; his Royal Hi g h ness enjoys the various rides upon the Downs and, in the neighbourhood. This morning the Thomas Packet, Captain,Clear, sailed for Dieppe with 30 passengers. The Duke of Wellington. Captain Cole, sailed on the preceding day with 27 passengers for Dieppe. NEW SI-Ram—The intention of continuing the new street from Carlton House to Portland place, is abandoned, at least, for the present, but the plan is to be actively carried into execution, as far as erecting the Circus in Piccadilly, the north-west crescent of which will terminate the view from the PRINCE REGENT'S Palace. The houses in . Pall Mall, 'froin the Chevalier ltusPm's to the corner of John -street, are to be new fronted and s.uccoed, to correspond with the two just built by Mr. WaGNott ; that which forms the corner of the new' quadratigle, the ground-rent of. which amounts to 2001. a-year, has recently teen - taken by Mr. GoWSN. of the City, and is the - only new one yet let. 'The interest it, the builiiings. between John-street and George -street, the haeks,ot - which, with the exception of Mr. ADArg's 'house, are a disgrace to St. James's. square, are to be .purchased and pulled down ; the space on the'sooth gide of PaR Mall, OcCH- Oetl by the noble mansion of the Marquis 'of BuclaNGHAss, the Ordnanee Office, the destined :residence of the Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES and Prince Leopot,o, and other residences Will of course then turns the - south 'side of the square through which Pall Mall will pass. VMIGRATION.---,(Short Tour.)—An Blest) Gentleman set out last week for a tour in France. He got to Culais,• liked the trine, drank plenti fully, and was carried to bed. About midnight the 41911Seit of the lea voyage returned upon him with tremendous violence ; he rang for his ser vant, swore that French living did not agree with him,- and was dressed in time to return at daylight .by the same packet which landed him in the desk the night before. CORONER'S INQUEST. --Yesterday there was an inquest held at the Barley-mow, Mount-street, Grosvenor.square, before Air. Lewis, on the body of Mary Close, who died in the street on the pre ceding day. Jt appeared from the evidence of . George Womack and Robert CoHinson, paupers in St. George's workhouse, that having been in formed a person was in w dying state in the street in Shepherd's-market, they went there and found the deceased as stated ishe could speak, anti- re 'quested them to let her remain lin the step of a door for a few minutes, but the owner' of the house °Helsel her to go away, and they placed her on a. butcher's-stall in the market ;. the - butcher. also - ordered her away, and they took her to , a place adjoining called the Rabbit-hutch ; and bung again desired to be taken away, she was laid ,down in the sjrect : she said her name Was Mary Close, she was 22 years of age, and then expired. A, Medical Gentleman from Mayfair was sent for, who, on his arrival, declared it wiis uselesS to apply any remedies, as she was, quite dead. The deceased was known about Piccadilly and Grosvenor , square, selling water;cresses ; she warOntlensive in her manner, and died with her little basket beside her, in which were a . lew half pence, and some crusts of. bread; it is believed 'she came froor the vicinity of Knightsbridge, - and being exposed to the inclemency, of the weather, from the manner in which she sought her lim!, it contributed to - her dissolution.
