On Sunday night, at a quarter before ten o'clock, the Duke Of CUMBERLAND left his apartments, in St. James's Palace, to return to the Continent. His Royal Highness went in his travelling chariot and four, attended by four servants. Though it was late in the evening, the Royal carriages appearing in the Court-yard, an immense number of persons assembled to see the Duke get into his carriage. The Duke of Cumberland was attended to his carriage by Colonel Thornton. Major Ponten, who accompanied the Duke to England, followed his Royal Highness in a second chariot. The Duke and Major Ponten proceeded direct to Dover. They were to embark there at seven o'clock yesterday morning for Calais; and thence they would travel to Berlin.—On Sunday afternoon the Duke had a long interview with the Lord Chancellor, in Hamilton-place. The Duke then returned in his carriage to St. James's Palace, where his Royal Highness gave audience, attended by Colonel Thornton, &c. to several friends. The arrangements for the education of the young Prince of Cumberland, the main ob ject of the Duke's visit to this country, have been finally made. We before mentioned that the Reverend Mr. Sumner, his Ma jesty's Chaplain, was spoken of as likely to be appointed the tutor; that appointment, we are informed, has taken place. The Prince will, it is stated, be entered on his course of Eng lish education in the spring of next year. The Duke, it is understood, returns accompanied by his son in April or May. His Royal Highness's house on Kew green has been ordered to be got in readiness by March. This house will be the Prince's general residence. ._, t __J '.-• 1 # -J/ WA ) IP it ("• - 4f ~s- a , ',-•*-• ,7 ./ i co ' ; ' / Z . 4 rf . ‘ ' I: , 7 , 5 ,..%1 -- -`'.--''.- ‘ l l- •& - IV -et R o r •,S,, C, . tit A s 44 C 4 i , I Ail THE DUCHESS OF GLOUCESTER. BRIGHTON, Nov. 6.—The arrival of her Royal Highness the Duchess of GLOUCESTER has afforded a fine opportunity for a muster of our fasionables, as they on Friday and yester. day left their names at the Palace. Amidst the throng I may mention—His Excellency the Russian Ambassador and his Countess, Countess of Jersey, Dowager Countess of Clonmell and the Countess Beauchamp, Lady Pulteney and Miss Stuart, Lady Brightley, Sir Matthew, Lady, and Miss Tierney, Sir T. Harvey Bathurst, Sir Georgeand Lady Pocock, Lady Isa bella Blachford, Sir R., Lady, and Mis Borough, sir Edward and Lady Kerrison, Sir John, Lady, and Miss Hamilton, Lady Bayning, Lady and Miss Louisa Edmondstone, Lord and Lady Walsingham, Sir Philip Roche, Sir H. Campbell, the Hon. Louisa Wrottesley, Lieut.-General, Mrs., and the Misses Skin ner, Colontl the Hon. Lincoln Stanhope, Mr., Mrs., and Miss Granville Penn, Miss Cheshyre, Mr. Mercer, Miss Eliza Lesh mere, Mr. Cavendish Bradshaw, Mr. and Mrs. R. Scarlett, and the Dean of Sarum. Her Royal Highness was much in public each day, as a pedestrian, or driving herself in her low elegant pone) , phaeton, accompanied by Lady C. Legge. Except a slight lameness, which chews itself in walking, the Duchess is in the enjoyment of excellent health, and appears very cheerful. Her Royal Highness, this morning, accompanied by Lady C. Legge, attended divine worship at the Chapel Royal, in Prince's place, where an elegant discourse, from the pulpit, was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Butcher. Shortly after the service, her Royal Highness commenced an airing, not in her phaeton, as the weather was very damp and chilling, but in a close car. riage. It is understood that the Royal Duchess will remain with us during much, if not the whole, of the winter. All in quiries on the subject of health to-day, have been answered in the following words :—" Her Royal Highness is very well." DEPARTURES FROM TOWN, &c. The Hon. Wm.

CASEMENT'S PAUT Y.)--rt seems that the approaching departure of the cold season but gives a fresh spirit of hilarity and festivity to thefew days which as yet remain. Yesterday Mrs. CASEMENT again gave an entertainment which could not but have delighted every indi vidual who was there. In describing fancy dress and masqued balls the language of hyperbole is often used ; but to express the delight every one experienced yesterday in such terms would be to out hyperbolify pyperbole herself. In fair set and sober terms then, Mrs. CASEMENT laid out her extensive house in a manner which would have done honour to the most refined taste; the terraces were arched over with boughs and flowers, while several shady and retired bowers added much to the scenery. The day was St. Valentine's, and in several of these recesses were kisses parfait amour, 4e. 4c., advertised to be sold ; if one might judge from the customers, these bonbons were highly esteemed—their efficacy remains hereafter to be proved. The decorations anti the house itself were admirable, and it would be wrong to say that the characters were not so likewise ; the worthy hostess had taken care nothing should be wanting on her part, and her guests were not behind hand on theirs. Every person supported their characters with spirit, and merriment was the order of the evening. There were two or three groupes which had a very pretty effect ; a party of archers appeared in dresses which did credit to the taste of the inventor, and some knights of the order of the golden fleece were pre-eminent in the gorgeous splendour of their apparel. A group of Savo. yards singing French chansons attracted very general at tention, and their early departure was much lamented._ A Chinese party in admirable costume could not fail of exciting admiration, while a party of recruits with drum and fife and singularly ridiculous appearances caused much laughter. There were many individual characters excellently well supported, among which may be noticed Moll Flaggon capital to the life, and a country fellow in a smock frock ; neither was Jehu with his box-coat, or Jack and his wife, one whit behind the rest in fun and excellence. Notwithstanding the numbers who were present from the capacity of the house, those who preferred dancing to joining the Masques had plenty of room ; and so what with quadrilling, waltzing, singing, laughing, eating and drinking, this certainly was one of the merriest evenings which has been spent for a long while. Mrs. C.'s parties are celebrated; but this one was outhetod ing Herod. Ido not tell of the supper, for where every thing was excellent such an essential could never be forgotten. If the pleasure and happiness of the guests be the test of their host's attention, I am sure Mrs. Casement must have felt gra tified, and be paid for all the exertion she incessantly made for their amusement.—(Hurkaru.) The Marquis and Marchioness of Stafford arrived on Satur. day at their eeat, West Hill, Surrey, from Trentham Ball, Staffordshire. The Duke of St. Alban's, Lady Charlotte Beauclerk, and Mrs. Coutts, are expected to leave the Earl of Lauderdale's seat in Scotland, this day, for the British Hotel, Edinburgh, where they will entertain a large party on Friday next, in ho. nour of Mrs. Coutts's birth-day.—There is no truth in a state. ment, that, on Thursday se'nnight, Mrs. Coutts Was married, at Edinburgh, to the Duke of St. Alban's. Mr. Serjeant Pell was absent yesterday from the Court of Common Pleas, in consequence of severe indisposition ; and we are extremely sorry to hear, that the Learned Gentleman has been induced, on that account, to retire from the profession, distinguished member, of which he has been so long a very THE THEATRES. DRURY-LANE.—A young Lady, whose name, we understand, is LAWRENCE, made her first ap pearance in public last night, in the character of Juliet. She is, according to report, a niece of Mr. SPRING, the respectable veteran who has so long presided over the Box department of this Theatre. Miss LAWRENCE possesses a good figure and a pleasing face. Her voice is suffi ciently powerful when urged by passion, and has no harsh tones. She was so agitated on her en trance that she seemed likely to faint, but the encouragement of the audience by degrees enabled her to assume the part. She appeared to feel as' well as to understand it, and altogether acquitted herself respectably. As she is rather tall, the flooring of the balcony, in the Garden scene, should be lowered, for in her interview with Romeo there seemed to be some danger that she might lose her balance and fall over the balus trades. If there was nothing great in her acting, there was at least much that deserves encou ragement. Her deportment was redundant, but still it seemed to be the result of feeling, and viith more practice, it is probable that she will become a very pleasing and interesting actress. WA LLACK'S Romeo was impressive. We are glad to see the Critic of the Morning Herald join tsith us in reprobating the offensive practice of introducing the half-price visitors at nine o'clock, instead of the good. old custom of not admitting them till the end of the third act. This is really a public grievance, for a tumult arises the mo ment that these latter visitors appear, and not only totally destroys the interest of the passing. scene, but keeps up a turbulent spirit till the con clusion of the act; nor does it even then sub. side, as the galleries remain restless and mis chievous during the remainder of the night.— The Performers, we know, reprobate this novel nuisance, and we hope, for their own sakes, that they will remonstrate against it, particularly those of the higher class, as their feelings must be • wounded, and their talents obscured by this un seemly interruption. The Tragedy was followed by the grand ballet Pantomime La Perouse, which was brought forward with great picturesque beauty in the scenery, and well supported in the action. COVENT-GA RDEN.—The Opera of Artaxerxes, so honourable to the musical genius of our coun tryman ARN E, last night introduced Madame ESTR IS, for the first time, at this Theatre. She displayed her elegant form in the character of the Persian Prince ; but this is not her province. She is a sprightly Actress, and sings comic songs with spirit and humour, but she is by no means calcu lated for the higher Musical Drama. The Public in general, however, are contented with her, even in this province, and therefore it might be deemed pri.suming in us to oppose the general will. Miss PATON carried all before her in Man dune, and me may fairly question whether she has ever had an equa l on t h e English Stage as a singer, since the days of. MARA.. her perform ance was impressive in the recitative, as well as delightful in the allotted airs. The Opera was followed by the wonderful orcanic< powers of Po licinello, and the Farce of A Roland for an Oliver was the concluding entertainment. Here Madame VESTRIS appeared in her proper sphere, and gave such spirit to the part of Maria !Darlington, as to impart a pleasing novelty to the character, which evidently gratified the numerous audience that occupied every part of the Theatre. HAY M A RICET..--M r. LISTON last night renewed his engagement at this Theatre, and came for ward in the part of Paul Ply. He was received with all the applause which an actor, at once so excellent and so completely original, deserves.— His performance of this part even exceeds that ludicrous luxuriance of humour which has inva riably marked his acting in all the other cha racters in which he bids defiance to competition. Mr. FARLEY, the actor, has recently lost his mother, and therefore, from affection, as well as regard to decorum, declined performing the part of Caciffogo, in Rule a Wife and have a Wife, which was consequently allotted to Mr. BARTLEY. Mr. FARLEY is deservedly a favourite with the Public in his range of characters, and his con duct in private life has been exemplary as a son, and a member of society. CROWN AND A NCHOR.—About one hundred persons assembled yesterday at this Tavern, in order to celebrate by an Anniversary Dinner the acquittal of Messrs. HARDY, HORNE TOOKE, 11oLciterr, Tne.t.wAr.r., and others, some of whom were tried on a charge of High Treason in the year 1794. A. Mr. BACK% ELL took the Chair. Several toasts appropriate to the occa sion were given, and of course highly applauded. In the course of the evening Mr. HARDY re. turned thanks in a brief speech, in which he con gratulated the company that by the acquittals which took place many persons were exempted from prosecution who, with himself and others, might have fallen victims to the law or to the severity of the Government at that period. Ile was followed by Mr. l'ner.wAr.t.., who vindicated the principles of himself and others at the time, and contended that they were such as upheld the just privileges of mankind and the immortal cause of Liberty. Songs suitable to the occasion followed, an d the memory of the politicians of their order was drank in solemn silence. Mr. HoLcaorr was, of course, one of the number. This gentle man was not brought to trial, because the grounds upon which the others were tried were not strong enough to produce conviction, and there were no otheTs.—Mr. HOLCROFT, however, at tempted to address the Court, but was prevented, and removed from the bar. Mrs. INctin.ttro, who knew human nature, and his character in parti cular, observed on the occasion, that" llotcaorr would rather have been hanged than deprived of his speech." On Monday, the 7th instant, Mr. FRANCIS DANDY, Mr. WILLIAM ALLAN, and Mr. H. P. Mucus, were elected Associates of the Royal Academy of Arts, at a general Assembly of the Academicians, held in their apartments at Somer set House, ANECDOTES, &c. FRENCH HERO , ISM.—The following heroic trait of generosity in a French Officer, at the Battle of Waterloo, is related by an eye-witness of the cir cumstance :—" A British Colonel of Dragoons, who had lost his right arm in the Peninsula, was leading his regiment to the charge in this battle, when a French Officer rode furiously up to at tack him ; the arm of the foe was raised, his aim was taken, when the sword, though on the point of a fatal descent, fell harmless at his side : tiee ing the Englishman defenceless,the gallant French man checked himself even in the heat of his blood, and went in quest of a more equal enemy." OLIVER GOLDSMITH.—Goldsmith was at the theatre one evening during the representation of one of his own Comedies, at a certain part of which some of the audience expressed consider able disapprobation.—" Ah!" said Oliver, turn ing to a friend who was near him, " they have found that out have they ? Well, 1 knew it was bad long before they did ;" and began to hiss most heartily. DON PEDRO I , EMPEROR OF BRAZIL, is the oldest son, of the present King of Portugal.— The Empress, Leopoldina, is a daughter of the Emperor of Austria, and sister to Maria Louisa, widow of the late Emperor Napoleon of France. The Emperer is about 30 years of age, is a well made genteel man in appearance, and has a good• looking Portuguese face. The Empress has a good-natured German face, and as for her person, there is enough of it to make up for any defi ciency. of beauty. Sh e h as t h e repu t at i on o f being very amiable, and is much beloved. They have five daughters. The residence of the Imperial Family is called the Palace of Saint Christophe, situated three or four miles from the city, on a little eminence, in the centre of one of the richest vales in the world. This valley extends a few miles, when the country be. comes mountainous and broken. Foreigners sel dom make excursions further than eight or ten miles from the city. Many of the most opulent inhabitants of the city have country establish. ments in this vicinity, and to a stranger, in par ticular, it is a delightful ride among- them. The fields and gardens, in a high state of cultivation, are planted with coffee and the sugar-cane, the orange-tree, plantains, and bananas, the mamee apple, pines, &c., besides a profusion of the fansily of Flora. Don Pedro keeps up a pretty large retinue, and at times has his company of life guards and many attendants with bitn ; but he frequently rides out in a pluin dress. TII e Empress often accompanies him on horseback, and she invariably rides astride, and gallops like a trooper. A PRIEST meeting a party of soldiers belong ng to a neighbouring army, who were on the look out for -booty, saluted the leader, saying to iirn, 46 May God grant you peace." The officer, ittle pleased with this wish, replied, " May God ake purgatory from you." SOCIETY FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF ARTS, MANUFACTURES, AND COMMERCE. ' The Members of this Institution 11.4voiust re commenced their labours, and if we.rnfty judge from the nume rous variety of , communications w hi c h h ave b een rece i ve d during the recess, they may anticipate a bwsy session. It can not but be a proud satisfaction to this Establishment, that neither time, which is ever a sad enemy to projections of every description, or the continual raising up of other societies, who ' do not in the least scruple to establish their finindation'on seve. ral of the otkjects of this body, in any aray./essen the increasing extension of the parent Institution. The public view the more moral phalanx with their best wishes for success, while their pursuits are laudable; but the thorki of this Society command, and we trust they ever will; that unbounded patronage it enjoys, In the mechanical department a plan for.boring and - blasting rocks, a method of letting go ,an anchor, a t.ble of a peculiar construction, a window which may be cleauctl without rick to the operator, a fire escape, a wheel differing from those in use, a marine cravat, a supporter for invalids, a blhul ft circular; window, with many other efforts of .ingenuity, : have hien se. ceived. Several valuable papers; which will no doubt tent to assist that most impOriant branch of science, : A. gricyiture, have, likewise been announced. • • • We were glad to see at the first meeting of the Society many of the most impartial and warm advocates of the objectsof the .

After the races upwards of 200 gentlemen and farmers sat down to a most excellent dinner served up with great taste by Mr. Laine, of the Swan Inn, Alresford, and the wine and other liquors flowed in copious libations ; after dinner many loyal and appropriate toasts were given, and songs sung, and the evening was spent in the most pleasurable humour. DEATH OF TORTOISE.—On Tuesday last, as _Sir John Cope was mounted on his favourite hunter Tortoise, and about to start with the bounds at fence, the animal gave a leap forward, and dropped down dead; he was in his 19th year.
