Among the company invited on the occasion to meet his Royal High ness, were the Duke of Devonshire, the Duke of Northumber land, Lord and Lady Jersey, Lord and Lady Vernlam. &c. The Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury entertained a dis tinguished party at dinner yesterday at her house in Arling ton-street.

Miss Fitzroy, Lord Strathaven, Mr. E. Montagu, Major Bulkeley, Mr. Otway Cave, Mr. Vyner, Mr. and Mrs. W. Loch. THE CANADA CLUB. The fourth Sleeting of the Canada Club for this season took place on Saturday last at the Freemasons' Tavern, when the four Indian Chiefs of the Huren nation, who are now in town, dined with the Members by invitation. They were dressed in their natural costume, and are extremely intelligent and fine look ing men. After dinner they entertained the company with some songs in their own language as well as the several Canadian songs and dances. It appears that the object of their visit to this Country is to obtain the grant of a tract of country in Lower Canada which formerly belonged to their nation, and we are extremely glad to learn that they have been most-fa vourably received by Government, who have liberally con sented to bear the expences of their mission. As soon as the cloth was removed, the Grand Chief, whose name is Nicolas Vincent Isawanhenhi, requested to drink to the health of the company, which Ile did, accompanied by the other Chiefs, in some ceremonies; and upon his health being drank, he re turned thanks in a speech of some length, delivered with much emphasis and energy, which was interpreted in French by the Chief Oudre Romani, who is the first Chief of the Council. There were about six-and-twenty Members present, and the party did not separate till a late hour. Yesterday about half-past twelve o'clock the Princess Au gusta, accompanied by Miss AVynyard, arrived in town in her travelling chariot, at her residence in the King's Palace, St. James's, from her seat at Frogrnore, near Windsor. Her Royal Highness's domestics followed in two other carriages. The Princess is come to town for the season. The Duke and Duchess of Clarence are shortly expected to leave England for the Continent for a short time. ELOPEMENTS.--A young lady of the name of P-I—t —n, twenty years of age, the only daughter of a retired tradesman, eloped on Saturday morning from her father's residence in the vicinity of Sloane-square, with Lieut. L—n—t, a gallant son of Neptune, who visited the family, and no apparent attachment was observed between the parties. The young lady, whose expectations are great, was missed at the breakfast-table; and the youthful ardour of the parties preventing precaution, they took a hackney-coach at the end of Sloane-street to Kensing ton, where they took a post-chaise. The father and a 'man servant traced the fugitives to Maidenhead, where the clue was lost in consequence of the different roads ; but they got further intelligence, and found the fugitives takin g c o ff ee a t Henley upon-Thames, and the young lady was conveyed safely home again. On Friday last, William Fife, Esq., jun., of Newcastle upon-Tyne, eloped with Miss Emily Bainbridge, an accom plished young L a dy of eighte en , f ourth daughter of the late Joseph Bainbridge, Esq., of that town, on a matrimonial ex cursion to Gretna Green. AN AWKWARD PREDICAMENT. l'as long since submitted to the Greek Gowro rnent The Oriental Spectator of January 20 has the following article from Scio of Jan. 15 : "According to direct accounts from Napoli di Romania of the 9th, the disorders in that place had become a real typhus, and the number of the patients increased daily. This scourge is owing, to the rebellion of the Greeks, and the scarcity which it has produced : the locality has little to do with it. General Colocotroni was entrenched between Corinth and Ar got. As he was before near Trials, he seems to have approach ed Napoli. It is probable he will undertake nothing deci sive till he learns, by the return of the deputies whom he has sent to Ibrahim Pacha, what he has to depend upon. It is reported that 16 ships of Ibrahim's fleet had arrived at Motion, and that 36 had sailed for Patras. It was whispered at Napoli di Romania that a considerable European naval force would aPpear before that port to demand satisfaction for injuries d ote to the commerce of the nation. The Greeks are a pprehensive of the unfortunate result; they are in want of ! I lnaey, they are afflicted with the typhus, and engaged in civil ". The Viceroy of Egypt is fitting out an expedition against them, and they have injudiciously offended Powers which they should have feared, and whose favour they should have gained 4t any price." By the letters received yesterday from Lisbon of the Ist instant, we learn that it was expected hostilies would e ''' l ''llence almost immediately between Algiers and Portugal , :he Commissioner who had been sent to adjust the differences b etween the two Powers having returned to Lisbon without effecting his purpose. In consequence of this, considerable ac tlvity had been observed in the dock yards, and three large frigates were fitting out for immediate service, with a view to Prevent the Algerines from passing the Straits. It was gene rally, however, supposed that the latter would have effected the passage, several of their cruisers being ready for the sea when the Portuguese Commissioner quitted Algiers. The cause of the dispute is variously stated in the advices, but the gene- Lit opinion was, that it originated in a demand on the part of the DEY for arrears of tribute, which he stated to be due to An article from Berlin, in the Austrian Obser rer of th e 3d i n st a nt, mentions that the King of , nusstA. has promoted Count FERDINAND ALT "STUS SPIEGEL to the dignity of Archbishop of Cologne.• l A • V N IE N.A MARCH 2.—Metallics, 95B.—Bank Shares, 1179. A private letter from Paris, received this 'day, St ates, that several conferences have taken place between the French Ministers and the Russian Ambassador at the Court of the Tuileries, in consequence . of which couriers have been dis- Patch e d to St. Petersburgh. It is added that the Law of Indemnity is expected to pass both Chambers, but much doubt is entertained whe ther the law for reducing the Rentes will be equally successful. Advices from the Havannah, dated the 26th January, have been received. The Diamond fr igate had arrived there from Vera Cruz, with S r tie and bullion on board. The Hussar frigate s - o as 11 " 0 expected at the llavannah from the a l h — A merican station. Since "e 4th of this month the Rhine has risen s even fe e t ; it is now at fourteen feet two inches. It is is feared that the towing-paths will be over flowed. Letters were yesterday received from Maran ham, which state that Lord _f! OCHRAN had al lowed seye-rat of the Portuguese vessels lately Captured to proceed on their voyage, on the pay- Meta of 15 per cent. on the value of the ships And cargoes. The account from Portsmouth of Sir CHARLES STUART'S suite, which we inserted y es t er d a y, was not correct with regard to one of the names. The Gentleman appointed d raughtsman to the Brazilian Embassy is not Mr. VAICKELL, 144 Mr. CHARLES LANDSEER, son of Mr. LANDSEER, the lißtiquary. The Militia are to be called out for the pur- Pose of being trained 28 days, in April or Nay. MRS. BAHBAULD.— ' Phis Lady, who was the siste r of the late Dr. AIKIN, and well known 4"d justly admired in the literary circles of this country, died on Wednesday, in the 83d year of her age. Her entrance into the literary world was accidental. She had passed her twentieth Year without feeling any propensity towards the Muses, ,though born in a literary family. On some occasion it was proposed that a few young '4adies should try their talents upon a given sub ject, and she reluctantly engaged in the same t ask. Her production, however, was so much "Perim' to those of her rivals, that success Pave a new turn to her thoughts, and she then became an incurable Poet.

BRITISH EXTRAORDINARY EMBASSY . TO FRANCE. We extract the following particulars of the preparations made by order of his Grace the Duke of Nor. TutYMncr,LAND in France, to give due splendour to his attendance at the Coro nation of CHARLES X., from the Etoile of Sunday : " The Duke of Northumberland, Ambassador Extraordi nary from his Britannic Majesty, for the ceremony of the Coro nation, has just hired, it is said, the Hotel of Galin, to receive him and his numerous suite. If we may believe the accounts that arc circulated, nothing can be compared to the magnifi cence which his Grace will display on this occasion. Beside: the riches, furniture, the splendid service of plate, which is valued at above 100,000/. sterling (2,500,000 francs), he brings in the suite of his family and of several relations of the Duchess, twelve Gentlemen and four Secretaries, twelve Maitres d'Hotel, and a number of domestics, in proportion to the state he means to display." Four young Noblemen, of illustrious families are appointed to attend the Duke of Northumberland, at the Coronation of the King of France. Those selected for this proud office are Lord Pelham, eldest son of the Earl of Chichester; Lord . Hervey, eldest son of the Earl of Bristol; Lord Prudhoe, bro ther to the Duke of Northumberland; and Lord Leveson Gower, eldest son of the Marquis of Stafford. It is supposed that the Duke and his four Noble Attendants will, after the ceremony of the Coronation at Rheims, receive an invitation from Charles the Tenth to be present at Paris, to partake of the magnificent fetes which the inhabitants of that capital intend to give in honour of their new Monarch. PO E 1 R Y. THE SULIOTE MOTHER.. BY 311 S. IIEMANS. Various writers en Modern Greece have related the fate of those Suliote women who threw themselves, with their intents, from the precipices of their mountainous territory, on the conquest and :.pproach of Ant PAC LIA. One of those narrators adds, that e wihl song was chaunted by the mothers, before com mitting the act of desperation. SHE stood upon the loftiest peak, Amidst the dark blue sky, A bitter smile was on her cheek, And a dark flash in her eye. " Dost thou see them, boy ?—through the dusky pines, host thou see where the foeman's armour shines Nast thou caught the gleam of the conqueror's crest ? My babe ! that I cradled on my breast ! Wouldst thou spring from thy mother's arms with joy? —That sight hath cost thee a father, boy 1" For in the rocky strait beneath Lay Suliote sire and son ; They had heap'd high the piles of death, Before the pass was won. " They have cross'd the torrent, t:: - .d on they come Wo for the mountain-hearth and home ! There, where the hunter laid by his spear, There where the lyre bath been sweet to hear, There, where I sang thee, fair babe 1 to sleep, Nought but the blood-stain our trace shall keep !" And now the horn's loud blast was heard, And now the cymbal's clang, Till ev'n the upper air was stirr'd, As cliffs and hollows rang. " /lark ! they bring music, my joyous child ! What saith the trumpet to Soil's wild ? Doth it light thine eye with so quick a fire, As Wm a glimpse of thine armed sire ? —Still !—be thou still I—there are brave. men low— Thou. wouldst not smile couidSt, tbou,seabirn not But nearer carne the clash of steel, And louder swell'd the hOrn, And farther yet the tambour's peal Through the dark pass was borne. " Hear'st thou the sounds of their savage mirth ? —Boy, thou wert free when 1 gave thee birth ! Free, and how cherish'd ! my warrior's km ! He, too, bath bless'd thee, as I have done. Ay, and unchain'd must his lov'd ones be,- -Freedom, young Suliote, for me and thee !" And from the arrowy peak she sprung, And fast the fair child bore A veil upon the wind was flung, A cry—and all was o'er ! *„.• It is not an extravagant eulogium to compare the pre ceding Poem with " GRAY'S Bard." Mrs. HEMANS may, indeed, rank with some of our best living Poets; and her works arc always characterized by the spirit of freedom as well as of 'Poesy. The following Letter appeared in an Evening Paper of yesterday. It would be polluting the Public Press to insert any thing alluding to a certain publication, if it were not to expose the infamy of the .author : Mr. Editor—ln this age of Memoirs, Recollections, and Re miniscences, it is not to be wondered at that Old Harriette Wilson has been as successtnl as her neighbours, John Bull and others, in gulling the Public. From all she or her Ambro sial Friend has written for her, one might be led to believe her when she states such broad facts, in spite of omitting dates ; but, with any of our wits about us, we can never forget that people not contemporary could not hold converse;—you must see I allude to bringing the Marquis of Lorne and the Duke of Wellington together, though there were eight years difference between thOse titles. Poor Torn Sheridan's account of his father must be equally untrue as it is malicious, from the known fact that the father and son being both taken from us within a few weeks of each other.* If this Lady's Memoirs had been com plete, she perhaps might have recollected a little dirty girl, whose name was Du Bouchet, who was five-and-twenty years ago a regular tramp in St. James's-street anti the courts ad joining, being picked up by a Nobleman, and converted into a lady; after growing too old for any success in begging from those persons of high rank whose names she could collect from the Court Guide (her constant practice), she liberated a prisoner from the fleet,and set him sailing after his pretensions to an Irish peerage ; if she - shoo/a see this, sheoviill know who wrote it, and, perhaps, I may receive a round sum not to say any more. She formerly got her living by mending and cleaning silk stockings, at which she was very expert—she was never handsome, though she had good eyes, but was hog backed, narrow-chested, and had an awkward shuffing gait, and was not at all like the hand some portrait which is published as that of Harriette 'Wilson ; but this can be of no consequence now, as she must be next summer in her -12 d year. But what am I who can recollect these things ? Why, - AN OLD RAKE. South Dolton-street, Grosvenor-square. * Toin Sheridan died at the Cape so soon after his father, Oat he had never heard of his father's death. He had left England long before.—Editor. HARMONIC THEATRE, CATII ERIN E.STR EET.— This Theatre, which is supported by private subscription, opened last night with The Pro voked Husband and Rosina. The Overture to Der Frieschutz was previously performed, and very warmly applauded. The Comedy also was well supported, Considering that the Per formers in general are noviciates. ALLEN is the name of Lord Townly, COOPER, of the Squire Richard, HAWKINS of the Count Basset, Miss G. NOEL of the Lady Grace, and Miss PHIL LIPS of the Miss Jenny. The afterpiece also deserves a commendatory notice, and the whole afforded a promising specimen of rising talents. A numerous audience. A DELPHI THEATRE.—This Theatre was closed last night, in consequence of the death of the Proprietor, Mr. RonwELL. Thi6 gentleman had for some time suffered under a lingering illness, which yesterday put an end to all his human cares. He was the author of a dramatic piece, entitled Vahnondi, and of many other successful productions which rendered his Theatre very attractive. The King of France has sent to Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE the decoration of the Legion of Honour, and to Messrs. COPLEY FIELDING and CONSTABLE, gold medals, as a sign of his approbation for their different exhibitions at Paris. We understand that the reduced duty on rum and British spirits will not take place until the 10th of October next. ThP Piedmontese Gazette, of the 26th Feb., announces with great exultation a fall of 8710 W, after continued dry weather for 82 days.

A CURIOUS COINCIDENCE.—ft is singular that the two most admirable writers thr.t modem Europe produced, Shakspeare and Cervantes, both died on the s ame day, in the same year, namely, April 23, 1616. We r(-gret to hear that Mr. MAcruEAny has had a relapse, and his life is again pronounced in great danger. It is, at all events, supposed that Mr. 11 1AcitEAPY will never be able to resume his professional duties again_( c ar ga, Journal.) An article in the Stockholm Gazette, dated the 22d Feb., says—" On the 20th hist. a huntsman brought the first lark that has been shot this and recei ve d th e the d ou ceur of a ducat.

W e d ou b t re member seeing this lovely messenger of th e s p r i ng so whether early it i b n e t th h e e c rl u e s l t d o s tn o t t o shoot Sw these birds any where but in Sweden. ( From the Dublin Freeman's Journal.) The following laughable occurrence created considerable mer riment amongst the persons attending one of the circuits, at the present assizes. An officer of the court, and of high connexions, while in the act of shaving, immediately after his arrival in one of the assize towns, had ushered into his presence two of the country mounted police, in breathless haste, when the following dia logue commenced : Police—So we have you at last, my boy. Gentleman—What do you mean fellow? Police- • -What do we mean ? Why, to put you into * * gaol, for swindling. Gentleman.—The devil you do ! Police .-Come, come, we've had a pretty smart chase after you, and now we have got you, we can't lose time with you— come along to the Magistrates. (Here the police began to en force their commands, by showing they were in earnest, and were desirous of securing their prisoner, by -removing him im mediately to where they considered a place of greater safety.) The gentleman's surprise was now excited to the maxi man, and he saw it was no joke : he therefore tho ug ht it necessary to argue coolly, and endeavour to convince the police who he was; but the effect of the explanation with the police was just the reverse of what the Gentleman antici pated ; for one of them exclaimed—" O', under a-nonn.v," you hear this fellow ?—here's more of the yarn ; why you're as much like **** as a new shilling is to a red cow: Oh, this is the chat the chap carries on the game with —come, my sporting blade, an d let's see how you'll do the Magistrate."— All entreaties were in vain, the gentleman had barely time to throw his hat on his head end his arms into a surtout, when he was marched off by the zealous and active police, and carried before the next Magistrate, who, upon seeing hint in such custody, was so much surprised, that some breathing time elapsed before he could ask him, even with trepidation, " How are you ?" The police, in their turn, now began to stare at each other, but their doubts were soon removed, and the fol lowing explanation was elicited : It appeared that the gentleman, being on horseback, stopped at an hotel in a town about twelve miles distant from where the police came up with hint—that he asked the landlord to get him change of a pound note, and accordingly Mr. Boni ..pee dispatched the waiter to procure the change, as he had it not himself: and upon the waiter returning, he handed the change to the gentleman, who, being in a furious hurry, pocketed it, and mounted his horse, and upon mutual inquiries be tween landlord and waiter, it appeared that the pound note was not been received by either : of course the stranger was imme diately put down as a swindler; and being a remarkable-look ing gentleman, the police, when they heard of the matter, im mediately went in pursuit, and had no difficulty in tracing hint• The gentleman here expressed his astonishment, and assured the Magistrate there was still some mistake; but then, imme diately recollecting himself, he thought of looking into his hat, and there he found the troublesome pound note.

CORN.LAWS.—A Meeting will be held at New. castle-upon-Tyne next week, to take into consideration the existing restrictive Laws upon the importation of corn. Mr. WHITMORE thus explains the reasons that have influenced him to put off his motion on the Corn Laws till the 19th of the ensuing month :—" I have postponed my motion till the 19th of April, at which time it will assuredly come on. One object I had in view in this delay was, to give the merchants and ma nufacturers in the kingdom an opportunity of expressing their sense of the importance of the subject, which hope, following the example of Manchester, they will be disposed to do."— Meetings have been held at Leeds, Bradford, and sonic other places, strongly calling upon the Legislature to adopt a system as to the Corn Trade that may not be so entirely opposed to the interests of the trading community as are the present enact ments respecting the admission of Foreign Grain. h e Seamen of the ports of North and South Shields have • not yet been able to meet the pro. positions of their. masters, and the consequence is, that many ships are still lying idle in the harbour. 'We find by letters from Bordeaux, that a great deal of business was done there on the receipt of the English letters and papers of the Ist. inst. Wines in general rose considerably. Some very fine Latitte, 1819, was paid as high as 1,5001. per hogshead ; on other qualities the rise was about 15 per cent. Colonial produce, but particularly coffee, experienced also a great rise. It is the determination of Government to pay the troops in the Colonies in British coin for the future, instead of dollars ; in consequence of which 200,0001. are to be trans mitted to the several islands and stations. The Samarang has already sailed with 60,0001. for the Cape of Good Hope and the Mauritius; and upwards of 70,000/. are to be shipped on board the Ferret, Captain Hobson, for conveyance to the Ba hamas, Jamaica, and Barbadoes. ABERDEEN.—ST. AND REW'S.—lii the House of Commons, on Thursday week, both Mr. Brougham and Mr. Secretary Croker gave the professors of our two Northern Uni versities a hearty rap over the knuckles, for their mercenary conduct in selling degrees to all and sundry,l and thus depre dating the true value of scientific honours. The nigh reputa tion of Edinburgh and Glasgow as schools of medicine has long been a subject of national congratulation; at both of these places students undergo a most rigid examination,and no man who justly estimates the character of his country, or the importance of a profession which influences so material to the well-being of society, would ever wish the practice to be different. Sir. Brougham asserts that a man by sending 15/. to the other side of the Forth, "will by next post receive a diploma to kill and slay his Majesty's liege subjects ;" and further, that when a man is examined in an English Court of justice, the question is very generally put, whether he has ever graduated in merry England ? If he answers in the affirmative, it is all very we]: ; but if his diploma dictate a different reply, the wily querist looks round the Court with an air of triumph, and exclaims, Oh ! then, he is only a Scotch Doctor." If it be really true, as 111 r. Croker remarked, " that the conduct of St. Andrew's and Aberdeen has tainted the character of the gra duates of Edinburgh and Glasgow," we rejoice to think that the practice in question has at length attracted the notice of Parliament, and that the parties interested are about to re ceive " a legislative hint that will have the effect of teaching them better habits in future." Since the above paragraph was written, we observe that Mr. Hume, who was on Tuesday week elected Lord Rector of the Slarischal College, Aberdeen, pub licly mentioned in the House of Commons that an arrange ment either had or would be made to prevent; a recurrence of the evil complained of by Mr. Brougham. So much for a well timed Parliamentary notice—(Glasgow Chronicle.) A Nobleman observing one day at dinner a person eminent for his philosophical talents, in tent on chusing the delicacies of the table, said to him," What! do philosophers love dainties ?" " Why not ?" returned the other ; do you think, my Lord, that the good things of this world ‘ver. , , only made for blockheads ?" MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

LENT ASSIZES. LANCASTER, Mancii 11. A TUALE ATTORNEY'S CLERIC.-WARDLE JUN. GENT. v. PAIMINSON. Mr. DARE stated, that this was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover from the defendant the amount of hi bill of costs for business done as an AttQrney. To prove the trans. action, the Learned Counsel called Joseph Nightingale.—He was present before the /Vlagistrat, when the defendant was bound in his recognizance to appear at the General Quarter-sessions. Ile, the defendant, acknow. ledged the plaintiff as his attorney. This was on the 23d of April. Francis Holgate proved the delivery. Isabella Wilkinson examined—She was on a visit to the plaintiff at his house ; he asked her to assist him with his brief ; this was in 1823 ; can't say if the plaintiff was without a clerk ; she assisted him to copy the brief; it was three sheets long ; she copied two or three sheets.—(Brief put in and handed to the young lady.)—She helped the plaintiff; he examined it, and made two or three corrections.—(A laugh. The Jury unde r hi s L or d s hi p ' s directions) found for the plain. tiff—Damages 61. 10s. ; costs 40s. At these Assizes a man named Illfrerry was indicted for ut tering a forged bill of exchante, value 20/. and acquitted from an error in the indictment, th e words "I - fig-street, by Man chester," having been inserted for "for High-street; .31au chester." STAFFORD, 12. ROWLEY V. HORNE. This was an action by 111 r. Rowley, a farmer, residing near Woore, in Staffordshire, against the Proprietors of th e Ch ester mail, to recover the value of a parcel containing bank notes to the amount of all. slat by that coach to London, and lost during the journey. The delivery and loss of the parcel were not disputed ; but the defendants relied on a notice inserted in the Chester Chro nicle, that they would not be answerable " for any parcel of any value," unless entered and paid for at a rate beyond the ordinary price of carriage. This notice was at the foot of an , advertisement occupying a whole column, which enumerated the coaches starting from the Feathers Inn, Chester, and ap plied generally to teem all. In order to show that this adver.. tisement was brought within the knowledge of Mr.Rowley,it was proved that the Chester Chronicle had been regularly sent to his house 'from February, 1821, to March, 1824; but the deli very ceased at the latter date, nine months before the transmis sion of this particular parcel, which took place on the 28th of December last. No evidence was given to show that he him self ever read the paper ; but his daughter had been at school near Chester, and afterwards remained to finish her education in a seminary near London, so that it was probable he knew something ot the Chester mail, by which he had sent parcels. Upon this evidence Mr. TAUNTON, for the defendant, con tended that the plaintiff could not recover. Mr. Barron BARROW expressed his opinion that it was suf ficient if the plaintiff had the means of knowing the qualification announced by the defendants .to their customers. Newspapers were full of miscellaneous; information. adapted to the habits and the tastes of a great variety of persons, many of whom would overlook that which was eagerly sought after by others. To judge, therefore, whether it was probable that a man had read a particular portion of a newspaper, it was right to coa sider what were his habits ; if it was not enough that he had the means of reading the whole. Now, the course of the Ches ter mail was certainly not foreign to the pursuits of 3ir. Rowlpy, whose daughter had been placed in situations where it was important to her friends, and who sent parcels by it on former occasions. Was it likely, now, that on a long winter's evening, he had never, during three years, during this notice ? Or, was it not more probable, that though he knew of tire re striction, he chose rather to take the chance of the parcel arriving ing in safety, which might beforty thousand to one, than to pay an extra sum to insure it ? If they thought so, the defendants were entitled to a verdict; but if the plaintiff did not know of the notice, he had made out his claim to recover. The Jury, after a few minutes consideration, returned aver. diet for the plaintiff—Damages 51/. LUDICROUS OCCURRENCE.—A gentleman at • Litileton has in his possession a fine Irish cow, which, without viciousness or malice, frequently amuses herself and the neigh bourhood by playing off extraordinary antics, as if from the sure love of fun. On Monday last, she walked quietly up to an old woman, of the name of Gregory, and without any appear ance of anger, deliberately and gently tossed the old lady into a dirty ditch, and then humanely followed her, Hi-. ed her out on the grass, and after rolling her over and over, appeared to be preparing to place her again in the ditch, when some of the neighbours came to her assistance, and relieved her from her unpleasant situation, without sustaining any injury, but only terribly frightened, at the time," as she expressed her self.—(Reading Mercury.) Bow-STREET—(This Day.)—The neighbOu'r hood of Covent-Garden, especially the Piazzirs, is nightly infested by nests of juvenile Mendicants of both sexes, who unite theft with their vagrancy when opportunity presents itself. When Gen.' tlemen are leaving the Theatres the urchins follow them, and too often succeed in carrying lawny their handkerchiefs ; the produce' of which is divided among them, and thus they dct almost every night. Three boys, the eldest'Uot thirteen, were brought up this morning •Ilefore Mr. HALLS and Colonel 'CLITFIEROE, charged with a robbery at a chymists in Russell:street, under circumstances that proved that their'in genuity had been versed in the art of 'addle. It was lamentable to see them surrounded by their parents, all in the utmost grief, who gave a shocking account of their depravity. Under a promise to take care of them in future they were liberated, and orders given to watch the neigh bourhood where they infested, and apprehend , all similar juvenile offenders.
