Mr. Hobhouse, Under Secretary of State for the Home De partment, has arrived in town from his seat near ‘Vincanton, Somersetshire, Mrs. Secretary Peel's health was much the same yesterday as the day before. The Right Hon. Robert Peel will entertain the Duke of York and a distinguished party at dinner on Friday next, at his house in Privy Gardens. The Duke of St. Albans, Lady C. Beauclerk, and Mrs. Coutts, have left the Earl of Lonsnale's seat in Scotland, on a visit to the Earl and Countess Brenda!bane. The Earl and Countess of Pembroke arrived on Monday at their seat, Wilton House, \Stilts, front Bath. The Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Smith have arrived at Willie Park, Salop, on a visit to Lord and Lady Forrester. lirme PARK.—The projected improvements in this quarter begin to assume a definite appearance. Front S7anhope-gate to Hyde Park-corner, the spot of marshy ground which adjoins the back of Hamilton-place and Apsley House, is now laid out in gravel walks and parterres, after the most approved fashion of modern plantations. For its better preservation it is enclos ed by a handsome iron railing; and thus is exchanged, for a useless and unsightly portion of ground, an object in the highest degree ornamental to the Park. In place of the duly brick wall, which has hitherto excluded all view of the l'ark front Park-lane, an open railing now enlivens the scene, and the car iage-road having been removed higher up in this quarter, the ntervening space will form a plantation. The opening at Stan hope-gate is considerably enlarged, and presents a pair of hand some gates, with lodges for the park-keepers on each side, built in the most appropriate style of architecture. On the side of Kensington Gardens, the new carriage -drive, making a complete tour of the Park, is in a state of great forwardness. Loan COMBERMERE.—We regret to state, that a report very generally prevails that this gallant officer was carried off by an attack of cholera morbus, in a few days after his landing in India. We are sorry to add, that the intelligence comes to us from a source which gives us little room to doubt the truth of it. The communication came overland from India.—( Dublin Correspondent.) TRADE WITH BRAZIL—By the Act of 54 Geo. 111., cap. 126, all goods imported to and ex ported from the ports in Brazil, in British ships, were subject to a rate, under the de nomination consulage and contribution, of 10s. per 1001. A few years ago the merchants of Rio de Janeiro petitioned Parliament against this rate, and particularly called the attention of his Majesty's Government to the very large amount which was absorbed by his Majesty's Con sul-G ene ral, amounting to from 8,0001. to 110,000/. per annual. This petition was presented to the House of Commons by Mr. Hume, rrho used considerable efforts to expose the hardship of this heavy tax, and to obtain the relief prayed for. How far that Hon. Gentleman's exertions were instrumental in procuring relief, will be best appreciated by' those who have 'suffered by the imposition. It is but justice to his Majesty's Government to say a complete remedy has been administered : by the act 6 Geo. IV. cap. 87, this tax on British commerce has been repealed, and after the Ist of January, 1826, the obnoxious tax will cease to imcs .) EXPEDITION TO THE SOUTH SEA.—The French Minister has come to a determination to which we cannot but give the highest praise, connected as it is with our commercial and national interest.— He is about to send out an expedition to ex amine the latitudes in which it is now al most admitted as a fact the two ships of the celebrated and unfortunate Perouse were wrecked. It is just possible that the storm that destroyed these vessels might have been so terri ble as to wash away all traces of them; but on the other hand it may have happened that there are still remaining Soule tokens of the fate of those noble victims. The proposed expedition will like wise be able to examine the coasts of New Guinea, a place as yet but little known, but which, accord ing to all accounts, abounds in aromatics and other valuable articles of commerce. M. Dur vine has been appointed to the command of this expedition, and we hope in a few days to be able to announce that it has sailed for its destination. —(Journal des Debuts.) BRISTOL THEATRE—.Mr. MACREADY, sell., the late respected and excellent Manager of Birmingham Theatre, opened this House last year under . very doubtful circumstances, but his gentlemanly demeanour and dramatic science produced an excellent company, and as a natural consequence, the patronage and support of the Mayor and the richest and must respectable in habitants of the city. Last Monday he opened for the winter with the able assistance of Mr. m AniE ws, who is to play for a limited number of nights. He will be succeeded by Mr. Sayso, and a powerful Corps de Musique ; Mr. MAC READY, of Covent-Garden Theatre, will then prove a star of brilliant magnitude, and be fol lowed by Mr. LISTON in Paul Pry; and Mrs. MACREADY too is one of the best general ac , tresses. we know.

What mighty name, in arms, in arts, or verse, From England claims this consecrated day, Her nobles crowding round the shadowy hearse? Hark! from yon fane, within whose hallow'd mounds, Her bards, her warriors, and her statesmen sleep; The solemn, slow, funereal bell resounds, While mournful echoes dread accordance keep. Spirits revered ! within that awful bourne Who dwell, in dark communion of the tomb, Congenial genius seeks your dim sojourn ; Ye heirs of glory ! hail a brother home. Obscuid, as Sheridan to (lust descend,,, Recedes each ray from Wit's effulgent sphere; ! every Muse in silent sorrow bends, Her votive laurels mingling o'er his bier. But chiefly, thou, from whose polluted shrine His filial hand Circeau rabble drove; What pangs, Thalia! in this hour are thine; What fervent anguish of maternal love ! flow long perverted, had the Comic scene, (The flattering reflex of a sensual age,) Shown prurient Folly's rank licentious mien, Refin'd, embellisli'd on the pander stage While Vanburgh, Congrevc, Farquhar, heaven-endow'd, To scourge bald 'Vice with Wit'd resistless rod, Embrac'd her chains, stood forth her priests avow'd, And scatter'd flowers in every path she trod; Inglorious praise ! though Judgment's self admired Those wanton strains which Virtue blusli'd to hear ; While pawper'd Passion from the scene retired With wilder rage to urge his fierce career. At length, all graced in Fancy's orient hues, llis native fires with added culture bright, Rose SHERIDAN ! to vindicate the 3luse, And gild the Drama with meridian light. Ilim, skill'd alike, great Nature's genuine form, Or Fashion's light factitious traits to trace The scene confess'd ;—with glowing pathos wapiti, Or gaily sportivt in familiar grace. With what nice art his master hand he flung, O'er each fine chord which thrills the polish'd breast, Let Faulkland tell ! with woes ideal stung, Let gentle Julia's generous flame attest • ! Satire, that oft with castigation rude, Degrades, while zealous to correct, mankind, Refined by him, more generous aims pursued, Reformed the vice—but left no sting behind. Yet tho' with Wit's imperishable bays Enwrcath'd, lie held an uncontested throne; Tho' circling climes, unanimous in praise, Confirmed the partial sufirage of his own : In careless mood lie sought the Muse's bower, His lyre, like that by great Pelides strung; The sofining solace of a vacant hour, Its airy descant indolently rung : But when, portentous the storms of war, Glar'd Public danger, when with withering din, The spoil-flush'd foe strode furious from afar; And, direr dread ! Rebellion rag'd within : Then, SHERIDAN ! dilating to the storm, Bright as the pharoA, as the watch-tower strong ; With all a patriot's inspiration warm, Thy Genius pour'd its thundering voice along. Who heard thee not in that tremendous hour, . When Britain mourn'd her surest anchor lost, • And saw her alienated Navies lower, Like the charg'd tempest round their parent coast ? With active zeal, which no cold medium knew, Nor party ruled, nor prejudice confin'd; But to thy heart's spontaneous impulse true, Thou gav'st thy Country ALT. thy mighty mind. What time Iberia, gash'd with many a scar, llrav'd the fierce Gaul, in fervour uncontroul'd, Tho' doubts and fears beditn'd her struggling star, Its bright ascent thy prescient soul foretold. Late, too, when France, with sophist cunning fraught, Essay'd that field, which force had fail'd to gain, And proudly question'd, by success untaught, Britannia's lineal right—her watery reign ! While meaner foes denounced with equal hate, Her flag, which wide is Freedom's cause unfurl'd, The saving sign of many a sinking state, Had chus'd Oppression from the insulted world.— Oh ! that beyond the light, diurnal page, Inscrib'd on high in monumental gold, That strain might kindle each succeeding are, Which thus thy generous indignation rolled; " If e'er, of ancient energy bereaved, Britannia, bent by menace or design, Should stain her naval sceptre, hard-achieved, And yield one claim, one cherisli'd right resign ; Then, hurled in ruin from her radiant sphere, Sunk her proud Isle in Ocean's depths profound; May all her glories pass from Memory's ear, An idle legend—a derided sound !" Such were his merits, whom the Muse deplores, The Wit, the Statesman, Orator, and Bard ! Nor when his frailties jealous Truth explores. Shall Candour shrink from her supreme award : If, all propitious, when his ardent prime, Beat high with hope, in conscious powers elate; Ambition wooed him from her height sublime, And partial Fortune op'd her golden gate ; What hostile influence, glooming o'er his way, Chill'd each tine impulse, each aspiring aim ; Effused bleak clouds round Life's declining ray, And left his labours no reward but fame? "Twat► not alone that in the festive bower, Prompt in the social sympathies to melt, Too long he linger'd ; that the genial hour His fervid sense too exquisitely felt : But, that in tasks of public duty prov'd, Onward with faith inflexible he trod ; Alike, by Fortune's dazzling lure unmov'd, Or stern Necessity's relentless rod. E'en Envy's self shall sanction that applause : And oft slow pacing yon sepulchral gloom, With fond regret shall Meditation pause, And breathe these accents o'er his honor'd tomb : Ye Muses! come, with ministry divine, Protect the shrine where &mums); is laid ; Ye Patriot Virtues! here your homage join ; Assert his worth, and soothe his hovering shade : Emblazon'd high in Albion's rolls of fame, A guiding star by which her sons may steer; This proud inscription let his memory claim_ ABOVE HIMSELF, HE HELD HIS COUNTRY DEAR! • Rivals. ••• The attention which has been recently drawn to the character of the late Mr. SHERIDAN, by Mr. Moon E's life of that eminent Statesman - and Poet, and the REMINISCENCES of Mr. KELLY, induce us to think that the foregoing lines will be considered by our Readerf as one of the best tributes that have been paid to the departpd ornament of Pritish Literature. ANECDOTES, &c. CRIR.LEs H. once going to the theatre, before his time, to see a tragedy, found the actors not ready to begin, when his Niajesty, losing pa tience, sent to inquire the cause of the delay, upon which the manager came to the King's box, - and rightly judging that the best excuse for their default would be the true one, fairly told his Ai r a . Hty that the Queen was not shaved yet—the custom of the s e clays being for men to perform the female characters. 'l'l►e King took the ex cuse in good part. and waited till the male Queen could he effeminated. I.,kw is Paau.—There was an old law in Peru, which made the heir to the crown marry his own sister, if he had not a more distant fe toale relation. The policy of this law was to prtoerve the blood of the sun in the Royal Fa mily. The moon, rather than the sun, must have been the influential planet in these royal marriage acts. A Al ENITIER of the [twit HousE of COMMONS, who always voted with Government, and when he spoke con stantly insulted the opposition on account of the thinness of their ranks, was observed one night during a division, when the minority was going into the lobby, to stand near a friend of his; who composed part of that minority, and to exclaim with great earnestness —" The Lord increase your questions—the Lord increase your numbers : I shall never be a Commissioner of the Revenue, or any thing else, at this rate." THE COURT OF CI ' iANCERY seems to date its rise at the close of the fourteenth century. It was highly ob noxious to the professors of the common law, who, by their in terests in the House of Commons procured a petition against it from the Parliament to Edward the Fourth. in 1474. The influence of the prelates (who were certain of guiding that Court) defeated this attempt, and its cstablishtnent encountered no further difficulties. T E LATE EA 11T, or CIIARLEMONT Used to re : — la:e that he and some travelling friends were once nearly ship wrecked in a tempest in the Archipelago : when at the expected crisis of their fate, the ship's carpenter, who was a favourite with the passengers, entered the cabin to give the following hopeful conseintion :—" Masters," said he, " the captain has I find, been with you ; but never fear, the ship is a tight one ; I have examined her throughly. There is not an inch in her carcass with which I am unacquainted—she is strong and good. There is, indeed, one rotten plonk, and that a principal one— let that but hold, and we are all safe." Frank Burton (after wards Lord Conyughatm) who is described as being a man of excellent mirth, and a bon vivant, immediately exclaimed— " So here I have been pampering this Bread body of mine, for more than 20 years, and all to be a prey to some cursed shark, and be d—d to him." DR. MAINE, an eccentric, character, who was ejec:ed by Cromwell from ecclesiastical livings which he held from Charles 1., preserved, in making his will, the a hinisi c tlities of his life. lie had an old servant, to whom he be. (located an ancient family trunk, telling him, that he would find something there which would make him drink after his death." The servant, full of expectation that his master, under this familiar expression, had left him a fair competency, as soon as decency allowed, flew to the trunk, when to his reat mortification he found, that the boasted legacy was no thing more than—a red herring ! AloTusQuiru was remarkable notwithstanding his great constitutional sprightliness, for one quality not un common with philosophers—absence of mind. Dining one day at Lord Albemarle's, the British Ambassador in Paris, he gave away to the servant, who stood behind him, seven clean plates in succession, supposing he had used them all. A Love MA itca.--In eccentric fellow, a soldier in a Scots Fencible Regiment, was in the practice of hying his Captain, with whom he was rather a favourite, under frequent contributions. The Captain, however, was not always in humour to comply with the demands thus made on his purse ; and one morning, when the soldier tapped at his door, he was received in a very unceremonious manner, and ordered to turn to the right about, and march oil. The soldier, without saying a word, obeyed, and was not heard of for nearly half a year ; when a detachment belonging to the Regiment, fell in with him, about 100 miles front the place flout whence he had deserted. Being, of course, brought before a Court Martial, and found guilty of a breach of the Articles of War, he was asked what he bad to say against the infliction of the penalty which he had incurred. " May it please your Ho nours," said the deserter, " I have to say a great deal. Do not the Articles of War impose a similar punishment on any soldier who refuses to obey his Officer?" Being answered in the affirmative, " Well then," continued he, addressing Capt. " did not your Honour, when 1 last saw you, order me 'to face to the right about, and move off in quick time." The Captain said, he had some recollection of the circumstance. " Well, your Honours," added the Scapegrace, " you hear that, and may believe me when I say that I never heard him cry Halt." THE MARCHIONESS WELLESLEY.—TIIIS lady's grandfather, Mr. Carroll, of Carrollton, is the descendant and representative of a highly respectable Irish family who accom panied Lord Baltimore to Maryland in the first settlement of that province. Ile finished his education, as most young men of family and great expectations at that period usually did, in Europe. Returning to America while yet a youth, he espous ed the cause of independence. With other illustrious mile viduals he signed the " Declaration of Independence," by which act, in a time of awful uncertainty and fright ful peril, he devoted his life and fortune to his country. Of the great characters associated on that occasion • only three are living, viz. the ex-presidents Adams and 'Jefferson and Mr. Carroll. Although upwards of eighty, Mr. C. pos sesses all the vivacity and activity of the prime of life ; at once an accomplished scholar and a polished gentleman, less known for his large estates and great wealth than for his noble hospi tality, his simplicity and warmth of heart, his beneficence and active charity, crowned with a spotless honmir, and all the chivalry and gallantry of a successful patriot. Free from bigotry himself, he does not appear to suspect it in others, and at his board arc always found the most intelligent Americans, as well as strangers, whatever their faith may be. Of two daughters, one married the late amiable and excellent General Harper, of Maryland, and the other (Lady Wellesley's mother), Mr. Caton, an Engish gen tleman, who possesses a good estate in the immediate neighbourhood of Baltimore : he is a very handsome, elegant man, and his kindness can never be forgott e n by th e s t ranger reared at his feet. Mrs. Paterson was every way worthy of her noble grandfather, beautiful, amiable, and accomplished ; pos sessing all the refinements and fascinations of her charming sex, with a noble and generous heart—adored by her own family, and esteemed and respected by the state of Maryland, the noble Viceroy may well glory in his bride, and Ireland be proud of his choice.—(Glasgow Herald.) • MELANCHOLY CATA STROPH E.-A melancholy and distressing occurrence took place on board one of the packet ships, on her recent voyage from Liverpool to New York. Whilst on her way thither, she met with another packet vessel coming from New York to Liverpool. The in quiries usually made on such occasions were in. terchanged ; and, amongst other intelligence, the failure of a mercantile house of some eminence in America was mentioned. The communication was observed to produce a sensible and instanta neous effect on a gentleman who was going out to New York as a passenger, and it afterwards ap peared that he was one of the partners of the house in question. So afflicting a circumstance could not fail to excite a deep feeling of commiseration in the breasts of his fellow-passengers, who en deavoured, as far as possihre, to soften and alle viate the anguish occasioned by a communication so abrupt and distressing. The next morning, when the cabin.party assembled to breakfast, the gentleman did not appear amongst them as usual ; and, on the steward's entering his state-room to call him, he was not to be found, but a short note - woo left on the dressing-table, requesting the captain not to persevere in an unavailing search for him. We need not add that the unfortunate gentleman had, under the influence of paroxysm, consigned himself and his sorrows to a premature grave. THE ARMY.

Bow-s - rnEET —The accumulation of waggons and carts, not only bringing vegetables into this part of the metropolis. but remaining in the carriageway until the whole of their cargoes are disposed of, is so great, that the parish of St. Paul, Covent-Garden ' has determined to endeavour to put a stop to. the nuisance ; for which purpose a number of persons, owners of the carts, &c., have been served with summonses to attend at this office, to answer the complaint of the parish. The proprietors of several of the taverns and coffee-houses under the Piazzas have had occasion frequently to complain, but hitherto such complaints have proved fruitless, and the nni sance still remains unabated. Several meetings of the pa rishioners have been held, and it was eventually resolved to 4 summon all the offending parties. It appears that round the market is a " denter stone," and all persons selling without that stone, or detaining their wag gons, tire., longer than is actually necessary for unloading, are liable to a penalty of 40s. under Mr. M. A. Taylor's Street Act. . Under this Act the parties in question were summoned by the parish. Yesterday being the day appointed for the different cases to he heard, the office was crowded to excess with market-gar ' deners, some of whom had been summoned, and others to as certain the result of the proceedings. Mr. ADOLPH us appeared for the parish. The first defendant called on was John Hines, a market,gat dcncr, at Acton, in Middlesex. John Stephens, Surveyor to the Committee of Pavements, proved, that on the 17th inst. a wagon belonging to the delenel ant was standing in the carriage-way outside . of the stone, front about seven o'clock in the morning until nine; the interim Vid occupied by the driver selling part of the load to various customers ; and he was confident that the nuisance to the inha bitinits was very great. Sir R. Rini:lE-I'ou may go farther than that, for I wag. obliged the other day to turn back in consequence of the obstruc tion. The defendant said, he had paid the customary toll to the clerk of the lessees of the market. Mr. ADOLPHUS.—They have no right to demand toll of you, when outside of their " stone," as that part 000 not ht_ long to them. Defendant—lf I was not to pay them they wculd take my waggon to the Green-yard. Mr. Apor.riars—They have no right to take any money front you, and if they seize your waggon, you have your reme dy by an action at law. The defendant was then fined in the penalty of 40s. and costs. The other cases stand over by consent, till a future day of hearing. HOP INTELLIGENCE, MAIDSTONE, Nov. 19.—There has been rattles store mand for our new Hops this week, and as the duty seems to be now generally understood, our planters are looking for Netter markets, so that we have very little business transacted A t present. • - THEATRICAL OFFENCE.—A case of ihiP was heard on Saturday last before the tribunal' . of 11 , Iunitipal Police at Pari.; :—Every body h'ai heard of dissensions which have occupied the Vaudeville. Until lately every thing leak been : kept snug between the manager and the ac-. tors ; but some three back a new party has interfered—this party is the public , w ho, through a spectator placed near the orchestra, entered upon the! followiie dialogue xvith the actor who entered upon the first rising of the curtain :—The Spectator : M. Lepeintre :—The Actor bowed and listened. The Spectator : Is the Malinger in the Theatre ?—The Actor : I don't know:— The Spectator : We who have paid our subscrip. tion wish to complain of the monotony of these repetitions ; if he continues to play the same pieces every night, we shall be obliged to biss. The audience laughed ; but a Police Officer stepped forward to stop the speaker, who being advised to wait till the end of the Piece, retired. After the representation he again came forward, and stopped an Actor that wag departing; but as it was not the one who had already spoken he was obliged to let him go. The person'S name who had shewn himself so active, was discovered, and he was summoned before the Municipal Tri bunal, which, in his non-appearance, condemned him to three dais' imprisonment. This judgment was appealed against, and the punishMest was reduced to the payment of a Ens of one franc.
