Among the :,inquirers, yesterday, after the state of the Duchess of CLARENCE and the Prin cess ELIzABETu, were the Princess SopmA, who called in the morning ; and among those who left' their names were the Earl and Countess of BRIDGEWATER. ViSCOUDE and Viscountess CAS TLEREAGH, the Marquis of CAMDEN, Lady HEN LEY, Miss EDEN, Mrs. GEORGE L VNE FOX, and Viscount and Viscountess ASHBROKE. Yesterday, at three o'clock, the Duchess of KENT, the Princesses VICTORIA and FEODORE and suite, returned to her Royal Highness's apartments in the King's Palace, Kensington, from a visit of some weeks to Prince LEOPOLD at Claremont, and which was prolonged on ac count of the extreme, mildness of the season. The Royal Duchess, soon after her arrival at the Pa lace, hastened to pay an affectionate visit to the Duchess of CLARENCE. Her Royal Highness was accompanied by her daughter, the Princess FEODORE. The Duchess had the pleasure to find the Duchess of CLARENCE and the infant Princess ELIZABETH going on as well as possible. The Duchess of KENT and the Princess FEODORE returned to Kensington between five and six o'clock. The Princess SOPHIA called in the morning. _ . A Lisbon mail arrived yesterday, with advices to the 10th inst. Nothing new had taken place there, the elections were going on, and the people were busied in this interesting and joyful un dertaking. The Government was engaged in the correction of abuses, and the better organi sation of the various, departments, which had been found in a most disordered state. Rumour informs us that Carton House (a seat of the Duke Of LEINsTEtt) is fitting up for the QUEZN Tf this.be . t.rue we are sorry - for it, he cause we respect.the Noble Duke who is Weak enough to be made the instrument of so danger ous an experiment. His Grace ought to know how dangerous'are the consequences of rousing a bad spirit amongst Irishmen ! Too nearly con nected with his own blood has been a lamentable instance of the.fact, and that too recently, not to feel -it a sufficient reason to make the murderous consequences of the • traitor not easily forgotten by the relations and friends of those Whose blood he shed ! The punishment of attainder, too, which followed; has been generously removed by the good and insulted Monarch, who now witnesses the base return. And shall the Duke of LIANsTErt, in defiance of all this, introduce Queen CAROLINE to Ireland as he did to his wife, in mad despair, lest, that which her parti sLiis had commenced in England should not be completed in Ireland ?—(Hibernian Journal.) MISCELLANEOUS. OIAvER CROMWELL.—The following extract from the Memoirk of Sir PHILIP WARWICK pos sesseS 'much interest ; he says : " The first time that evert took notice of Cromwell, was in the beginning, of the Parliament held in November, 164 n, when I vainly thought myself a courtly youn g gentleman, (fur we Courtiers valued ourselves much upon our good cloaths). I came one morning into the House well clad, and perceived a Gentleman speaking, whom f knew not, very ordfnaiiiy apparelled, for it was a plain cloth suit, which seemed to have been made by an ill country taylor; his linen was plain, and not very clean ; and I remember a speck or two of blood upon his little hand ; his stature was of a good size, his sword stitch close to his side, his countenance swot!) and reddish, voice shatp and tint unable, and his eloquence full of - fervor.—Yet I lived to see_this very fientlemati, by multiplied and good successes, and by real, but usurped ;waver, having h;.•i a better taylor, and more converse among good company, ;a my own fye appear of a great and majestic flew,' talent, and comely presence " .And itl Liolstrode's Me moirs, it iS observed of Cromwell This conference pats me in mind of what Mr. Hampden said to Lord Digby, in the beginning of the war. As they Were going down the Par liament stairs, Cromwell just going before then), the Lord Dighy, who was then a great man in the House of Commons, asked Hampden tuko that man waS, for I see, sail!' the Lord Digby, he is - of our side , , by his speaking so warmly this day. Upon which Mr. Hampden Tepl led, that s•lovenlz/ fellow which you see before us, if We should ever come .to a breach with the King," which God forbid, 1 say that sloven, in such case, will tie one of the greatest men of England-which was a prophetical speech. lint Hampden - knew bins well . , and was intimately acquainted with him." COUGHING DOWN.--This disgracefill practice of. piughißg or hemming .down • a Member of the House of Commons is-not of 0001eril growth. It is observed in one o f the Parliamentary Text Books, that every .11effiber ought to he heard quietly, and without Intel ruptimi : hut if he finds that it is not the inclination of the Houser to hear him, and that by conveusatioo, 01' any other noise, they endeavour it/ drown his voice; it is his most. prudent way to sulimit to the pleasure of the House, and sit down; for it scarcely ever happens that they are guilt y of this 'piece of ill manners without sufficient reason." II is - reported of Sir Spencer Compton, that, when he was Speaker, lie used to answer to a Member, who called upon him to make the Elotre quiet, fur that he had a right to be heard :—' No, Sir, you have a right to speak, but the House have a right to judge whether they will hear you.' In this he was certainly mistaken; the Member hay a tight to speak, and the House ought to attend to him, and it is the Speaker's ditty to endeavour, for that . . . p orpou, to keep them quiet ; but when the rove of talking gets the better of modesty and good sense, which s,metny e s happens, it is a duty very difficult to execute in a liege and popular assembly. And, • indeed, the Ilouse are rely seldion inattentive to a Niember who says any thing worth hearine 1 In 160 1 , Serjeant Neale, who was not very popular, was speaking and said, " The Queen bath as much right to all our lands and goods, as to the revenue of her Crown." At w Ilia all the House hemmed, and laughed and talked.— Wt.ll, quwli the Serjeant, all your hemming shall not put me out. of countenance." So Mr. Speaker stood up and said, " It is a.great disorder that this should be used ; for it is the ancient use of every man to lie silent when any tine speaker!), and he that is speaking should be suffered to deliver his mind without interruption." So tile Serj ea nt proceeded, and when he had spoken a little while, the House hemmed again, and l,e sat down. • Da. JOSEPH WAnToN.—lle .was a delightful poet, a.tuust elegant scholar, and an•able critic. His conversa tion was ric h and fluent, and displayed exhaustless stores of wit, pleasantry, and iiterary aneedotes.—The following very sweet Address to music, is- a free translation of a chorus in the M e dea of EuripiticS., 'Dr. Winton said, that he composed these verses while lie . sea" drawing on his hoots : Queen of es 'ry moving measure, Sweetest source of put est pleasure, • • Music ! why thy pow'rs employ, Only for.the sons of joy ; Only for the s4iline guests, At natal or at nuptial feasts? Rather thy lenient numbers pour On those whom secret griefs devour ; Bid be still the throbbing hearts Wllollldeatn or absence parts t • And with some softly-whisper'd air, Smooth the brow of (tomb despair." In his " Ode to Fancy," lie his drawn a pathetic piciture,. which shows the - OriginalitY of his ginitis:— " Haste, Fancy, Iron\ the scenes of Folly, To meet the matron Melancholy ; Lead to some- abbey's moold'ring tow'rs, Where, to asuid cold wintry show'rs, The naked beggar shir'ring While whistling tempests round her rise, - And tremblesteft the tott'iing wall • Should on her sleeping infants fall." PETER PAUL SARPT.—IIe was honoured by the learned fur his great abilities and erudition, and by the good fur his integrity. He ably defended the cause of the Senate of Venice against the claims of the Pope to infalli bility, and to a power paramount to all other human autho rity. Compelled by various conspiracies of the vindictive Papists to confine himself to his convent in Venice, he wrote The History of the Council of Trent, esteemed a model of historical composition. Convinced of the corruption of the Court of Rome, and the artifices of its emissaries, he said, " There is nothing more desirably than to abolish the insti tution of the Jesuits ; the Church of Rome will be involved in their ruin ; and if Rome be ruined, religion will reform of itself." lit his last illness, which was caused by a wound from a stiletto, said to be inflicted by an emissary from the Court of Rome, he received a visit front the doge and Senate of Venice. He had merely strength enough to raise himself up in his bed, at their entrance into his apartment ; and with his hands clasped together, and his eyes lifted towards Heaven, he exclaimed with his expiring breath, alluding to his dear native city, " EASup petna." THE THEATRE.—The Opera of The Lord of the Manor was revived last night at Drury-Lane . Theatre. I3RAIIAM gave a powerful musical sup port to the part of Truciovc, .and introduced songs not originally in the piece. Madame VESTRIS, whose vivacity and spirit are.indefati gable, was a very lively and effective Annette. BARNARD, a very useful Actor, appeared to more than usual advantage in Young Contrast; and llAar,Ey, another Performer whose spirit is inexhaustible, rendered La Nippe very promi nent and amusing. liNtdirr also, who never suffers a part to become languid in his hands, re presented Ralph with most diverting effect. 7— ISIuNnEN being indisposed, the part. of Moll Flaggon was assigned to WILLIAMS. The Opera altogether was so well. sustained, and so favour ably received by a numerous audience, that it will probably be repeated with great success. HORSHAM. —The Duke of NORFOLK, with that liberality which so much distinguishes his Grace, has lately presented - the Borough of Horsham with a new costly town clock, which is added • to the New Town Hall, erected there by the late Duke, in which the Assizes are annually holden. This structure, in the Gothic style of architecture, possesses every accommodation for public business, and was - completed at the pri, vate expence of the late Duke. The addition now made to it of a new clock, n hasbeen acknow ledged by the Corporation at a public Meeting, attended also by the inhabitants of the town, when a Resolution-of Thanks was unanimously passed to his Grace for the munificent and use ful donation of new clock, contributing both to the convenience and ornament of that ancient Borough. • It is now pretty certain that Mr.' WHITE, son of Mr. LUKE WHITE, will start as a candidate to represent the county of Roscommon in Parlia ment.

Ott Friday last Mr. Hay of Drnmmelzlor's Fox Homolt threw off at .his' own large cover at Edington. Hill, where they took the drag of a fox, which they carried forward to the Harelaw Wood (the property of W. Molle, Eq. of Mains); there they instantly found a fox, and went off at his liroih With a hutning scent, which they drove at such a pace, that it burst his heart in about a mile:and a half, at Millerton Hill, whet ehe was killed. During that rapid burst, one of the lads had seen another fox cross Billie Bog, which be communicated to Mr. H a y.• The bounds were im mediately taken to tint spot where the, second fox had been Seen, and the moment they crossed the scent, went off with it as if he had been at their noses, through • Mr. Home of plantations at Reston, pointing north to Ayston cover; - but either having been headed, or want of sttength, made him turn to the right at Reston farm, down the Water Eye, to Ayton Manse; there he crossed the post toad through the strong .enclosures of Cocklaw and Martindale, up Flem inington Hill, to the strong cover on the top of it, Miele they drove hint through and killed him in an open held, making for the sea rock's. This was but a small part of that day's fine spurt; the hounds went immediately to Edington dean, where they instantly found a third fox, who gallantly went off to the north through Follicle') Dean farm, over the Dean's Hill to Pillain, from thence over the top of the Drummer, crossed the old post road between Lambertocr !trice Course and the bridge at the top„?f Ayton Hill, skirted Mr.Fordyce's plantations, and from thence straight north to the strong curer on the top of Flemmington Hill (where the second fox was killed), which the hounds drove him rii;ht through in great style ; he tints went straight east to Born mouth, intending to make the sea rocks, but there fortu nately, being headed, be took north within half a field's Ois lance of the rocks, and continued that course to the very back Gunsgreen-house; close to Eyemouth, where this glorious day's sport ended with the death of the third WK.—Wets° ustcm, EcTutt Es. DUBLIN, DEC. 13.—Yesterday Mr. PHILIPPS delivered his first Musical Lecture, at Morris son's• Great Room, to a crowded and elegant auditory ; besides the Nobility. and Gentry present, we observed an assemblage of persons of taste and science in the different branches of literature. Several distinguished musical amateurs and' professors wvre also present. Mr. Philipps entered into a close analysis of the different stiles of ' singing, and maintained, contrary to the prevailing opinion .014 this subject, that any person of moderate abilities, with a voice merely sufficient to turn a tune, and industry to follow a few plain rules, may-soon be come an agreeable, and perhaps, an excellent singer. Among the many others whose names were omitted who attended with the • Oxford Univer sity Address, were— Sir Christopher Robinson, D.C.L. of - Mag. Coll..; Rev. D 7. Ellerton and Rev. Mr. Coblolif, of Mag. Coil ; Rev. Dr. Ben son, of Queen's Coll. ; Dr. Maton, M.D. of Queen's Co!l.; Rev. Mr. Bowerbeck, Queen's Coll., Rev. B. P. Symmonds, of Wedh. Coll.; Rev. Mr. Luton, of Wedh.

Of late they have not been seen to in University processions. Very recent intelligence from Copenhagen has been received.. The tranquillity of that capital had not been disturbed since the late attempt at revolt ; no further arrests had occurred ; and, from the tenor of the accounts, it would appear that there was no immediate apprehension of fur ther disturbances. None of the conspirators, al though they had undergone very long examina tions, had been convicted. The Ladies' first night at . the Bath Harmonic Society was on • Friday last. The Rev. Mr. BOW EN, the founder, was in the Chair. The glees were given in great style, and Mrs. SALMON, who was present, obligingly favoured the company with an Italian song, and joined with two of the members in a duet, and glee. The amusement of the evening concluded with " God save-the King," in which all the Ladies and Gentlemen in .the room joined. WILLIAM PONSON BY, Esq.—On Monday, at Bishop's-court, died WILLIAM PONSON BY, gsq. only son of the distinguished Statesman of that name Among the many instances of untimely death daily mentioned .in our obituary, there! is - none, we are convinced, will be More sincerely lamented than the one it is now become Oui pain ful duty to record. His health has been for many months back in a very declining state, and indeed some weeks-before hiS death; all rational expectations of his final recovery had been aban doned. He died sitting in hiS chair.—(Moraing Post.) LIMERICK, Dac. 16.—(_lIdanchotv Accideiit.) —This morning, about one o'clock, du rin! , . a vio lent storm from S.S.E., the large chimney Of Capt.
