" Earl Dudley gave a grand dinner to his Royal High n ess in the evening at his residence in Down ing -street. The dinner was laid out in the new state dining-room, which was used on this occasion for the first time since its completion by the late Mr. Canning, who had this apartment constructed, ca pable of accommodating a party of fifty or sixty to dinner, in order that the Parliamentary dinners might be given there. The apartment was elegantly decorated for the occasion, and the Noble Earl's services of plate had been new burnished. The dinner, which h a d b een or i g i na ll y or d ered for seven oclock, was altered to half -past six o'clock, his Royal Highness baring expressed his intention to honour Drury -lane theatre with his presence.

THE LATE EXECUTION AT HORSE. MONGER-LANE. Since the execution of Swayne and Thompson, who were convicted of robbing Mr. Sizer, of New ington-causeway, some ill-looking fellows are con stantly lurking about his house after night-fall, and calling down imprecations on his head, designating him by the name of " murderer," in allusion to his having prosecuted the above malefactors. Late on Thursday evening Mr. Sizer received the following threatening epistle by the two-penny post, directed " Mr. Sizer, lace-dealer, Newington-causeway." It ran thus-- " January 3, 1828. " Sin—You would have received a letter from me before this time, but illness prevented me. I write to beg of, you to prepare yourself for another world, for in this you can not long remain. Endeavour to get pardon and mercy for the two young men you were the occasion of having hanged last Monday. One of them was more than a friend to me ; and I here, as I have before pledged myself, to take the life of the murderer—yourself; and so far from considering it a crime, I am certain I shall be doing a good in ridding the world of a murderer. But as it is not my wish to ex tend my revenge beyond this world, I give you this timely notice, to prepare yourself, for be assured you have not many «lays to live ; for the first opportunity I have to be certain of my aim, your life is gone, though . I may sacrifice mine in so doing. On the fatal day, last Monday, it was my intention of pistoling' you in your shop, and for that purpose came between ten and eleven o'clock, and saw•you laughingly talking to a customer (though you had been that morning the occasion of murder), and considered you was not in a fit state to meet your Maker, and refrained from any purpose at that time ; but now your family, after• see ing your death, shall feel the misery that you and them have made me feel. Once more, therefore, I beg of you to prepare yourself. Your wife 1 find is not at home, but I will find her out and make her suffer." The above letter had no signature to it, and had the Chancery-lane post-mark affixed to the outside. Mr. Sizer is determined on apprehending some of the ruffians who lurk ill front of his house.

The particular subject of the Lecture was, the scull, the brain, and the serves ; all of which were well illustrated by some transparencies, and by the dissection of the brain. Dr. BIRKBECK was assisted in his demonstrations by Mr. CooLsoN and anetLer medical gentleman ; and a very numerous auditory listened with apparent satisfaction fur upwards of an hour. PREPARATIO N OF BLACKING.—Take of plaister, ground and sifted, 9lbs. 4oz. ; lamb-black about 9oz. ; barley malt, as used by brewers, 18oz. ; olive oil loz. ; steep the malt in water almost boiling hot until the soluble portions are well extracted; put the solution into a basin, stir into it the plaister and lamp-black, and evapo rate to the consistency of paste ; then add the oil, the quantity of which may be increased by degrees. To the mixture may be added, if desired, a few drops of oil of lemons, or of lavender, as a perfume. If ground plaister be not attainable, its place may be supplied with potter's clay. This, which is the composition of a French chemist, M. BRACONNOT, is undoubtedly the cheapest and finest blacking ; it spreads evenly, dries and shines quickly on the leather by a slight friction of the brush, and has not the objection of burning the leather.--Monthly Magazine. An ape, Which BLIIMENBACII observed for more than a year together, would manage the wood for the stove, and put it in with as much judgment and economy as a cookmaid. Ho was very fond of the fire, like all apes, and would at times singe himself, and afterwards roll in the snow, and then return to the fire. He was often at the college, where he used to examine the specimens with a most laughable imitation and grimace. Once he swal lowed a piece of arsenic; large enough to poison ten Kal mucks ; it only produced a violent diarrhoea, and he was quite Well again. But once a work on- insects was lying on the table, this fellow bad studied it with great gravity for an hour. When - came into the room, he found that he had, with great address, pinched out all the beetles of the great plates and ate them, mistaking the pictures for reel insects. y MELANCHOLY O n Th urs d a ;r SUICIDE. -- i r t n ta i i ng a young female of Salisbury, named MARY ANN cau, ed :Isom, destroyed herself in a manner that has f sensation of distress.

The river AVon overflowed its banks on Wed nesday morning, when, so little was a flood ex pected, that the poor people in the Dolmeads had scarcely sufficient time to remove their property from the lower part of their dwellings, and consequently some of it. has been lost or injured. The judicious widening of the bed of the river, however, at the Old Bridge, which was carried into effect last summer, materially contributed to prevent the water from spreading. The Avon has now subsided to nearly its usual level. The wheat crops on the low lands of this county, we hear, are experiencing much in jury from the continued floods. The whole of the country, for many miles round Langport, presents one unbroken lake. The quantity of rain fallen lately is unusually great; so mild a season as that lately witnessed at this period of the year is of rare occurrence even in this westerly part of the king.. dom. At Taunton, on Tuesday last, from seven in the morning until four o'clock, p.m., the rain de scended in torrents, accompanied by violent squalls of wind. The Bridport Mail was stopped on Tuesday evening, in its approach to Taunton, on a bridge near Ilminster, upwards of half an hour. On the same day, after several hours' incessant rain, the city of Wells and its environs were visited with an awful deluge, which swept before it every thing that opposed its progress. Torrents of water poured into the city from the surrounding hills in various streams, and meeting in a confined street, called Torr-lane, the effect was appalling. In the course of 10 minutes it rose in some places to the alarming height of upwards of five feet, rushing into the adjacent houses, and driving the affrighted inha bitants to the upper stories. By its violent con fluence it lifted about ten feet of wall completely off its foundation, threw down 40 yards of another wall 10 feet high, which bounded the kitchen gardens of the Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells, over which it burst with incredible fury, emptying itself into the frog of his Lordship's Palace; this, however, not being large enough to contain the torrent, it again burst forth, sweeping every thing before it, and ultimately finding vent, in some degree, by a large mill-stream. The water which could not pass in this direction, rolled down the High-street, where it rose from two to three feet filling every cellar, aad inundating the lower rooms of the most of the houses. The ground-floor and cellars of the Deanery (the present residence of the Lord Bishop of Litchfield and Coventry) were alarm ingly inundated. Considerable damage has been done to the south and west of Wells, accounts of which are daily arriving. The town of Caine, Wiltshire, was also flooded on Tuesday. It is supposed that the water has not been so high since the memorable flood in November, 1725, when two men were drowned in the principal street, in sight of their neighbours, who durst not stir to their relief, and when a cask of oil of 100 gallons was carried off, which could not be found for several days.—Bath Herald. RESUSCITATION OF A CONDEMNED CRIMINAL AFTER BEING HUNG! (From the Balm Chronicle.) MR. EDlTort,—The strange rumour that got abroad after the execution of Dr. Dodd, that he had been restored to life, after hanging that period which the law contemplates to b e sufficient to put an end to mortal existence, and had lived long, and ter minated his days happily, in the south of France, — gave rise to numerous marvellous stories, having no foundation but in the inventive brains of the writer, Of similar instances of vital restoration. Numbers of these may be found in " Wonderful Museums," and other corresponding publications of equal au thority. Authenticated statements, however, of this de scription are very rare—and one of these I am now about to communicate for the information of your readers. At the Old Bailey Sessions, in October, 1710, William Duell was capitally convicted of a rape on Sarah Griffin, at Acton, and received sentence of death ; George Curtis, a noted character, his accom plice, died in Newgate, on the morning of the day on which he was to have been brought up for trial. In the November following, Duel!, with four others, was executed at Tyburn, and, as was Mot the cus tom—a custom which might with advantage be fol lowed non,—his body was given to the surgeons for dissection, and was accordingly brought to their hall. Being a remarkable powerful man, it was determined to anatomize the body, and preparatory to dissection it was laid on the board. The surgeons' attendants proceeded to wash him, immediately before the intro duction of the knife, when one of the operating per sonages suddenly called out that he breathed The vital spark was obviously not extinct, al. though it was remarked that he had been sus pended more than fifty minutes; and his breath coming quicker and quicker, and with it a palpable pulsation, a surgeon took several ounces of blood from the wretched man, and in two hours he was so much recovered as to sit upright in a chair. As this was quite a " new case," in the school of anatomy, the practitioners were posed ; but at last they de termined on restoring him once more to gaol, and to Newgate he was carried. Discussion after discus sion was had on this extraordinary case, and the re sult was—what is rather common with surgeons,— " an opinion," that the halter being misplaced, the vertebra of the neck had not been dislocated !'), On the 27th of NoTember, the case was laid be fore his Majesty, George 11., in Council, and some other favourable circumstances appearing uneßn fleeted with the particular offence and the execution, Duell was ordered to be transported for life, and he was sent to North America, where, possibly, some of his descendants now exist. Reading, Dec. 26, 1827. GALE'N. It is the common opinion that the necks of criminals arc what is generally termed broken, 1. e. dislocated, by their execution ; but it is a mistake—it does not occur in one case in ten. With respect to the possibility of resus citation, we believe Dr. Ure has some highly interesting and important remarks on the subject, connected with the detail of a Galvanic process on a murderer, at Glasgow. That account is powerfully wrought up by the Dootor without any apparent extraordinary effort, and in some of its passages it is really terrific. We well remember having some conversation with a medical gentleman high in his profession, at Chester, during the exhibition of some gal vanic experiments on the body of S. Follows, executed in that city for a most atrocious murder, worse infinitely in the minutiae of its circumstances, than the late assassication at Oxford ; and that gentleman's opinion was decidedly confirmatory of the one expressed by Dr. Ure, which our medical readers may recollect, but which we forbear men tioning.—Ed. Berks Citron. His MAJESTY has been pleased to grant his Ifoyal Letters Patent to an individual of Leeds for a mangle on a very improved plan, which bids fair entirely to supersede the huge and cumbersome machine in common use, the new one not occupying more than one-quarter the space, or requiring more than half the usual labour.

The account in amorning paper of the exa mination and subsequent liberation of Charles Knight, son of the unfortunate Mrs. Jeff, whose murder has created such a strong sensation, is incorrect in some of, the particulars. Our re porter was employed to a late hour last night in obtaining information, and th© following state ment may be relied upon : When the murder was first discovered, suspicion attached to the son of the unfortunate deceased, not from any direct evidence tending to identify hirn with the horrible transaction, but from the convic tion that .the foul deed must have been committed by some person well acquainted with the premises in Montague-place, and - also witrthe habits of the unfortunate deceased. From the open and candid manner of Knight, however, the horror which he expressed at the foul transaction, and the plausible account which he gave of himself on Monday night, when the murder was committed, the suspicion pre viously entertained against him was considerably weakened. The Magistrates, however, deemed it right to detain him in custody, until a Coroner's Inquest had _sat upon the body. The result of that inquiry being a verdict of" Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown," the prisoner shortly after was called before Mr. Halls and Mr. Lett, the magis trates, at the Gower Arms, where the inquest, was held, and discharged from custody,—not from th-a result of inquiries as to the truth of his previous statement, but because from the wording of the ver dict he could not be legally detained any longer. It appears, however, that the magistrates were not' quite satisfied with the account which he had given, and the circumstance of a pawnbroker's duplicate for a freemason's medal (he himself being a freemason) having been found, either upon his person or at his residence, the pawning having taken place at a time when he said he was absent from town, tended strongly to renew the suspicion which was previously enterta►ned. Under these circumstances, Furzeman received instructions from the magistrates to prevail upon Knight to accompany him to Lambeth, where the medal had been pawned, and the pawning of which he strongly denied, in order to confront him with the person who received the pledge. Knight appeared quite willing to go, and accordingly, at six o'cloek on Thursday evening, Furzeman and Knight proCeeded to Lambeth. The former, on entering the shop of the pawnbroker, immediately made known his business, producing the ticket ; and pointing to Knight, he asked the pawnbroker ►f that was the individual who had pawned the medal. The pawnbroker immediately identified Knight as the person by whom the pledge was made, at the very time when, according to Knight's state ment, he was at Longford purchasing feathers.— Furzeman and Knight then returned to the watch — house of St. Giles's, but Knight was suffered to return to his residence in Cursitor-street, where, however, he was taken into custody at eight o'clock yesterday morning, by order of Mr. Halls. I to whom Furzeman had communicated the re sult of his inquiry at the pawnbroker's. The prisoner was ordered to be lodged in a room in the watch-house, and in consequence of a visible alteration in his manner, it was deemed expedient that some person should continue with him during the whole of yesterday. His man ner when first taken into custody, while it evinced but little feeling for the horrible death of his aged mother, was at the same time so candid as to raise an impression in his favour. On his second appre hension. however, his conduct underwent a re markable change. He appeared lost and confused, and continually trembled as though he was affected with the ague. It was suggested by Le. magis trate in the course of the day (yesterday) that he should be brought to view the bloody corpse of his aged parent. He protested strongly against it, declaring that lie had always the greatest objection to see the corpse of any person, and that so strong was this feeling within him, that he refused to see the remains of his first wife and infant child, and could not even bring himself to follow them to the grave. He, however, although with consider able reluctance, went to the Gower Arms with Furzeman, where the body then lay in precisely the same state as when viewed by the Coroner's Jury. When Furzeman withdrew the cloth from the head of the unfortunate old woman, and pointed to the attention of Knight the horrible gash by which it was all but severed from the body, the terror exhi bited in the countenance of Knight was, according to Furzeman's account, scarcely less appalling than the dreadful spectacle before them. An innocent man, however, might have been affected in the same manner at the sight of a murdered parent. The un fortunate man trembled so violently as to call for the assistance of Furzeman to support him from the place; and when reconducted to the watch-house, his manner, it is said, was like that of an insane per son. Lord Montford, Sir H. Baker, Mr. Halls, Mr. Lett, and several other Magistrates, were, in the mean while, engaged at Montague-place, in close delibera tion ; and the result of their inquiries was to give Furzeman instructions to proceed with the prisoner to Longford, in the neighbourhood of Cranford bridge, to which place it will be remembered Knight stated he went to purchase feathers, he being a trader in that line, at three o'clock on the morning of Tues day. The object of Furzeman's inquiry at Long ford is, to ascertain if Knight's statement respecting the purchase of the feathers is correct. He set off with the prisoner yesterday evening to Longford for that purpose, and had not returned up to a late hour last night. It is probable, however, that he will be delayed the greater fart of this morning in prosecut ing his inquiry, and that his return will not be until late in the day. In the meanwhile, we have heard a report which, if true, would anticipate the object of Furzeman's journey. We heard last night, from a respectable quarter, that a person, in no way con nected with any of the parties concerned in the dreadful transaction, and whose sole motive was, if pozsible, to discover the truth, set off for Longford on Thursday, for the purpose of prosecuting the same inquiry which Furzeman has been ordered to pursue. It was communicated to us that this individual, immediately upon his return to town, about eight o'clock yesterday evening, (two hours after Furzeman and the prisoner had set out for Longford), went to St. Giles's watch-house, for the purpose of acquainting Furzeman with the result of his inquiry. Not finding him at home, the per son went to the house of Furzeman's brother, a pub lican, who lives nearly opposite the watch-house.— To him and to others he stated, that he had been to Longford, and had taken a circuit of five miles around that place, with a view to discover the person from whom Knight said he had been to purchase feathers. After the most diligent inquiry in the neighbourhood, the individual stated that he could meet with no person engaged in the feather trade, although he had been to every house, not only in Longford, but in the circuit he had stated, where such a business vas at all likely to be carried on. The return of Furzeman, under these circumstances, is looked for with the greatest anxiety. With reference to the prisoner, it is but fair to repeat, that his extreme agitation when invited to inspect the body of his aged parent, and the convul sive horror which shOok his whole frame while view ing the horrid spectacle; may be accounted for on per fectly natural grounds, and without at all implying that his terror arose from any other cause than the dread of witnessing a sight from which, even under ordinary circumstances, the mind would naturally re coil. Whatever turn therefore the affair may take, the manner in which the prisoner was affected when placed in a trying situation ought not, -of course, to operate against him, although we have deemed it r ight to state the fact. We suppose that the object of the Magistrate, in requiring the prisoner to be brought to see the body, was to try whether the effect which it produced might not have caused him to make a voluntary confession upon the spot. We did not hear that the prisoner, in compliance with a custom resorted to on such occasions, was ordered to touch the body. The military glove which was found in NlA.4ett's bedloola stained with blood, is ascertained to belting to Mr. John Lett, who was an Officer in the 10th Light Dra goons. It now lies, together with the razor-cast found near the body, and the poor old woman's blood-stained cap, at St. Giles'. watch-house. Mrs. Lett, upon her arrival at the house, in Cointiany, with Mr. Lett, on Tuesday evening, was with difficult; kept from seeing the mangled remains of her old and faithful servant: She was even restrained by force from proceeding at oiit to the housekeeper's room, where the poor old creature lay, and upon yielding at last to the entreaties of Mr. Lett, her feelings were so strong that for some time she waft bitterly. When sufficiently recovered, she pro ceeded lip stairs to the bed-room of the deceased, thinking to find - her purse under her, pillow, instead of which she found her pray er-book.--,—liinie,L We arc led to understand, that some of the Pied froni the Times of this in M on t ague -pl a ce, have beenm mainorn contradicted. factst rrespecting we thes have lGmi cluvor murder has hot been taken into cus todyinquiries of FunzEstaN, at Longford, have also proved sa tisfactory again : nor was:he:at.the watch..ho use , as stated.

Last night the President of the Sheffield Literary and Philosophical Society, James Montgomery, Es q . delivered, before the Members, at the Music Halt, the concluding lecture for the year just ended. The subject was " Strictures on the Modern British Poets." The lecture opened with a long-extract from Sir Philip Sidney, on the invention of poesy, and the lecturer proceeded to notice its antiquity, and its superiority over painting, music, and the rest of the Fine Arts. He stated that, with the ex ception of Rome, the best poets of all countries had been produced in the middle age, between barbarism and the most refined period of voluptuousness. He drew a contrast detween the poets of Italy and Eng land, and showed how much the latter excelled the former. He then proceeded to the main object of his lecture, which was to characterise and place in contrast a number of the most eminent poets which had lived since the French revolution. He com menced the series by giving a very long, particular, and interesting account of an extraordinary genius. named Thomas Dermody, born at Ennis, in the county of Clare, Ireland. This cha racter discovered extraordinary poetic talent at the early age of ten years. The lecturer read one of his productions at that period of his life, which discovered peculiar merit. After describing his later writings, and his strange career of vice and folly, and subsequent miserable death, Mr. Montgothery pro ceeded to discover the writings of Bloomfield, a poet who was born, not made, and who would have been what he was under any circumstances. But it was his misfortune to be exalted, at the commence ment of his career, above his real desertS, Capel Loin - , and others, had loaded him with unmerited encomiums. Mr. Montgomery here noticed the ef fect critics- produced on the public mind, and the power they have of delaying, though not of retard ing justice in cases where real talent is evinced. After Bloomfield, he passed on to Henry Kirk White, and in the course of his remarks, adverted to the deficiency generally existing, both in history and biography, of information respecting the infancy or childhood of persons who, in after life, became conspicuous in the world. He justly observed, that nothing could be called trivial in childhood, which tended to form the mind. He noticed the effects produced on the minds of persons, by the peru sal of juvenile poetry, and quoted several speci mens, particularly an extract from " The ,Babes of the Wood"—the reading of which had deeply, impressed young - White. rle read 'an extract from White, on Rosemary, which was beautifully touching, and when read by such a poet as the lecturer, seems to be vested With charms before un noticed. He closed his observations with another extract still more exquisite, the last production of this lamented youth, written at a time when his dissolu tion was rapidly approaching, and in which he hazards a wish for an increase of years, but, as Mr. Mont gomery beautifully remarked, he asked for life, and immortality was given him. After the conclusion, Mr. Montgomery anticipated an objection which many would probably be prepared to start, at the fact of his having only noticed three poets in the course of the lecture, by stating that the plan he had adopted would not allow him to do more, at one time, but if his exertions were favourably regarded, he should, if spared, be disposed to resume and pur sue the subject in a series of lectures to be delivered at intervals. This announcement was received as it deserved to be, with loud and continued cheers.— Shqffield Courant.

ANECDOTE OF CREEK INDIAN ARGUMENT 11 coNcLuniNG PEACE BETWEEN THEM AND THE UNITED STATES, FROM A LATE NEW YORK GAZETTE.—When General LINCOLN went to make peace with the Creek In dians, one of the Chiefs desired him to sit down on a lag. He was then desired to move, and, in a few minutes, to move farther. This request was repeated till the General got to the end of the log. The Indian then said move further,' to which the General replied, I can move no fur ther.' Just so it is with us, said the Chief, you have moved us back to the water, and then ask us to move . further !' During the last term at Cambridge, Mr. C—, while descanting on his system of Mnemonics in the Town Hall, brought forward, in illustration of the success of his plan, a boy, one of his pupils, who was able to repeat the whole of " The Wanderer of Switzerland," not only from beginning to end, but from end to beginning. During the latter part of the youth's recitation he was interrupted by a waggish gowns►nan, calling out, " Well, you have given it us straight forward and backwards, now let us have it sideways!" Mr. C—, somewhat piqued at this unex pected suggestion, arose, and commenced a long expostu lary discourse, defending his system, and indignantly affirming that he had never before been so insulted. This lengthy appeal, however, had no other effect than to call forth the following from the same relentless wit : " Bravo, Mr. C—, now let's have all that backwards !" When ERA SIM US, having visited Sir TrroarAs MouE, was about to return home, Sir THOMAS lent him a favourite horse to convey him to the coast ; but, instead of returning the horse, ERASMUS took it into Holland, and, in return, sent Mou the following epigram : Quad mihi dixisti De corpore Christi, Crede quad edas, et edis ; Sic tibi rescribo De tuo palfrido, Crede quad habeas, et babes. This conveys a satire upon the zeal of Sir THOMAS for that miraculous dogma of the Romish Church, transub stantiation.—Afirror. MURDER AT CAVAN.---01 1 the night of the 31st ult., a serving man, of the name of JOHN DOWNY, in the em ployment of the Governor of Cavan gaol, had been drinking in a public-house in that town, in company with some soldiers of the 62d Regiment, quartered there, at present. They remained until after the regular hour for returning to the Barracks had elapsed, when the pie quet went its rounds, taking up whatever soldiers w e re found thus transgressing.

Christmas and its revelries are not yet quite exhausted -=the present volume, therefore, which professes to detail its amusements and its con vivialities in the good old times, is still an ac ceptable addition to out gratification. The sceflC 'of the book is laid in one of the Baronial Halls of England, somewhere about the middle of the 18th century. A party of friends are supposed to have met at the hospitable residence of an old English country gentleman, where in lieu of other amusements, they while away their winter evenings by each relating some appropriate story or anecdo:c. The family consists of an old father—a generous, lively, sort of personage — just the man to impart a social flavor to Christ mas —a very beautiful young girl, his daughter, who has of course an admirer--a respectable great aunt aunt, and an airy sportive . soot of French coquette. a s e t y c alternate onclu d s e t , o a r r i e e s, of var which, iotl s as thereader entertaining characters.
