PRIVATE CONCERT DR ESS.—A low dress of tulle over white satin ; the border of the skirt trinnned next the hem with a full puckering of tulle, confined by white satin straps; this ornament is headed by three bias folds of white satin. The sleeves are long and en blouse; but confined up to the elbow by several bands of white satin. The hotly is made plain, and only ornamented by white satin bracers anti rosettes. The hair is arranged in the Milanese style; the hack part of the tresies are gathered up on the summit of the head, and are beautifully adorned with roses, and one full-blown rose lies on the right temple. Necklace of red cornclian, set a l'antique, in wrought gold.

The Earl of Liverpool came to town yesterday morning from his residence at Coombe Wood. The Earl and Countess of Jersey have arrived at their seat, Middleton Park, Oxfordshire, from a tour. Earl Verulam has arrived at his seat, Goritambury, Herts, from a tour. We lament to learn that the Duke of Bedford is seriously indisposed at Paris. His illness began, we understand, with a sore throat. His Grace is accompanied at the French metropolis by his Duchess, axd has of course every attention that his situation demands. GIBRALTAR, Nor. 7.—T he Siphi/gia schooner, belonging to the Emperor of Mottocco, arrived here yesterday. She mounts six gnus. It is un derstood that the Commander of the Sicilian ship Vesuvio has concluded a truce for his nation, with the Moors, for one month. The following account of the loss of the Mul grave Castle is given in the South African Com mercial Advertiser of the 7th of September : " On Saturday evening, soon after nine o'clock, the ship Mulgrave Castle (450 tons), Captain RALPH, from Gravesend, the 30th of May, bound to Madras and Calcutta, unfortunately got on shore near the Moulin battery at Green Point. Early on Sunday morning she bulged, and was completely filled with eater. Owing to the as sistance received from the short;, and the weather continuing fine, the greater part of the cargo will be saved, but it is feared the hull must be- Collie a total wreck. The night was Calm and star-light. The loss of the vessel is attributed to the strong insetting of the current, and a sud den haziness coming on, which caused a decep tive appearance in the diitance of the light-house. A few minntes before the ship struck, she was in 14 fathoms water; the captain on the gang way, attending to the leadsman,and all the hands on board looking out." An error has generally gone forth on the sub ject of Sir II UDSON Lowe. That Officer is not appointed Governor of Ceylon, which situation is now held by Lieutenant-Ceneral Sir Edward Barnes. Sir Hudson Lowe is appointed second in command, and is a Major-General on the Staff of the above Island.—(Morning Post.) Mr. PEEL, at the Anniversary dinner of the Royal Society on Wednesday, announced that his Majesty had placed two annual medals, of the value of 50 guineas each, at the disposal of the Council of the Royal Society, to be distri buted by them as rewards for scientific dis coveries. The two Copley Medals were award ed to M. A rago, the Astronomer Royal of France, and to Mr. Barlow, the Professor of Mathematics in the Military Academy at Woolwich. Both these medals were given for discoveries relating to the variation of the magnetic needle. A report had been in circulation for some days that the frigate, on board which M. DunAs de GrussloNtrs, embarked for Batavia, had been wrecked off the coast of Portugal. We learn, from good authority, that these reports are wholly destitute of foundation. LONDON MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.—Near two thousand Members are actually paying their subscriptions to this flourishing Institution. The library of circulation, model room, and museum are now open, and every day the collection of books increases. In consequence of its great success, we understand a Meeting is about to be called for the purpose of establishing a similar Institution in the Borough. RICHARD JAMES JENNEY, Egg., of the island of Trinidad, was on Saturday last called to the Bar, by the Honourable the Society of the Mid dle Temple. On Friday, the 25th Ult. GEORGE BINSTEED FARRANT, Esq. was called to the Bar, by the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple. A woman died lately at Zwornegoschutz, in Silesia, aged 155 years. Notwithstanding her great age she still employed herself every day in weaving, eat with a good appetite, drank every day two glasses of brandy, and walked on Sun day to church, which was a mile distant. The day before her death she had worked in the fields and taken her meals as usual. PO E 1' It Y. A MOTHER'S GRIEF. By tic Rev. T. D.11.E.-- From FR lENI;6IiIP'S OFFERING.'

Thro' dreary days and darker night's, To trace the match of death ; To hear the faint and frequent sigh, The coick and shortened hreath, ; To watch the last dread strife draw near, And pray that struggle brief, Though all is ended with its close,— This is a mother's . grief! • To see, in one short hour, decayed The hope of future years ; To feel how vain a f.ther's prayers, Bow vain a-mr,ther's teals ; To think the cold grave now must close - O'er what was, once, the chief Cf all the treasured joys of earth,— This is a mother's grief!

SHE FFI ELD.—The Sheffield Mercury of Satur day last says—" It might he deemed a derelic tion of duty were we not to call the attention of our townsme* to the exertions which are now being made to procure the return of a person for this large and populous county, at the next elec tion, who is an avowed friend to Protestant As cendancy and of Anti-Catholic principles. We do hope that the friends of Protestantism, in this town will co-operate with these of Leeds, Wake field, &c. in an endeavour to preserve the rights and privileges of which they are in possession ; but which may, if not properly guarded, be sa crificed at the shrine of a Church whose profess ed principle and creed are the extermination of the Protestant Church and faith." information was received yesterday, at Union- Hall, of a dating burglary, in the house of Mr. CREAK, pawnbroker, George-street, Dockhead, early on Wednesday morning. The booty con sisted of about 80 gold rings, 30 watches, and a number of other gold and silver articles.— Every exertion is making to discover the per petrators of this extensive depredation, hitherto without SUCCPSS. An extensive and ingenious robbery was yes terday committed on the premises of Mr. Bug- BRIDGE, Southwark-bridge-road. The thieves succeeded in securing a quantity of plate, and many other articles of value. AN IMPUDEN T VAGRANT.-At Hatton-garden, this morning, a sturdy-beggar was charged by a gentleman with asking alms of a lady in C ray's- Inn, and on a non-compliance with his demand, assaulting her. Ile was committed to the tread mill for three [months. DETECTION OF lIOItSETESALERS' DEPOTS.---A clue has at length been obtained, which it is con fidently expected will lead to the discovery of a set of persons who have for some time afforded the horsestealers a ready disposal of stolen cattle. The business is entrusted to an active party of the police. ANECDOTES, &c. BRAvrity.--When Captain HORATIO SEY MOUR, son of the late Admiral Sir HUGH SET.. 310 U R, and brother to the present Lord SEYMOUR, served under Lord WELLINGTON in the Penin sula, he at the head of only twelve men on a foraging or reconnoitering party was intercepted by a body- of 300 French ; undaunted, though s , .srprised, be addressed his small troops in the following laconic manner :—My lads, you see we are intercepted, but have made up my mind never to be taken prisoner, what say you, will you follow me ? The reply was, we will follow you any where. Then said he (pointing to the enen,y) we must cut our way back again, and if any of you reach the British camp viithout use, tell them where I fell ; upon which, setting spurs to their horses, " With souls in arms and eager for the fray," they, with the loss of only one man, reached the camp. But it should be observed, that the French Commanding Officer, astonished and ad miring the desperate valour of the 13 heroes, ordered his ranks to open, and permit them to pass. nis Majesty's approbation and friendship are proofs that his bravery was equally appre dated on his arrival in England. SOCRATES being- very old, and afflicted, was asked by some one how he did, " Well !" he re plied, " either way ; if I recover," said he, " I shall he envied by many. If I die, I shall be praised by many." Sir F luxe's B. DELAVA r. havinz married an ex tremely ugly Indy, though very rich, was asked by his friends how he could think of marrying so ordinary a woman, " Look ye" said he, " I bought her by weight, and paid nothing for her." I\IUSICAL ComeosEgs.—The oldest of the mu sical composers who are now the most fashionable in Europe, is not forty years of age. These three composers are Rossini, Von Weber, and Meyer beer. Meyerheer is a Prussian, author of the music of 11 Crociato in E zits'° ; he is not a .com poser by profession, but a young amateur from Berlin, who is possessed, it is said, of an animal income of fifty thousand francs. ANECDOTE OF PETER THE Glt EAT OF ROMA —Miss II A IiBLETON,a Maid of Honour to the Em. press Catherine, had an amour, which at different Limes produced three children. She had al. ways pleaded sickness ; hut Peter, being suspi cious, ordered his Physician to attend her, who soon made the discovery. It appeared that a sense of shame bad triumphed over her huma nity, and that the children had been put to death as, soon as born. Peter inquired if the father of them was privy to the murder. The lady insisted that he was innocent, for she had always de ceived him by pretending that they were sent to nurse. Justice now called upon the Emperor to punish the offence. The lady was much beloved by the Empress, who pleaded for her; the amour was pardonable, but not the murder. Peter sent her to the castle, and went himself to visit her, and she having confessed the crime laid to her charge, with great feeling he pointed out to her that his duty as Prince, and God's Vicege. rent, called on him for that justice which her crime had rendered indispensably necessary, and that she must therefore prepare for death. Jte attended her also on the scaffold, when he embraced her with the utmost tenderness, mixed with sorrow ; and when the head was struck off, he took it up by the hair, whilst the lips were still trembling, and kissed them : a circumstance of en extraordinary nature,and yet not incredible, considering the peculiarities of his character. OLD WEwiTzca. was joking and laughing at rehearsal, instead of minding the business of the scene. Raymond, who was then Stage-manager, took him to task for this, and said, " Come, Mr. Wewitzer, I wish you would pay a little atten tion."—‘6 Well, Sir," answered Wewitzer, "so I am—l'm paying as little as I can." SHERIDAN and DELPINI fell into high words relative to an arrear of salary due to the latter ns Man Friday, in the Robinson Crusoc of the former. Sheridan, provoked at what he deemed the insolence of the pantomimist, told him that he had forgotten his station. " No, indeed, Monsieur Sheridan, I have not," retorted Del pini, 66 I know the difference between us per fectly well. In birth, parentage, and education, you are superior to me ; but in life, character, and b►rhaviour,l am superior to you!" THE GENTEEL BUTCHER.—In the Bristol mar ket, a lady, laying her hand upon a joint of veal, said, " I think Mr. F. this veal is not quite so white as usual." " Put on your glove, madam," replied the dealer, " and you will think dif ferently." It may be needless to remark, that the veal n as ordered home without another word of objection. SIR JAMES MELVIL gives the following ludi crous account of his shipwreck on the coast of Ireland, when, in his youth, he was sailing to France with the Bishop of Va lence (who seems to have been an amorous fellow), then on his return from Scotland, where he had been the French Am bassador :—" The next morning Odocart came there, and con voyed us to his house, which was a great dark Tower, where we had cold chear, as herring and bisket, for it was Lent. There finding two English Gray Friars who had fled out of England (for Edward VI. was yet alive), the said Friars per ceiving the Bishop to look very kindly to Odocart's daughter, who fled from him continually, they brought to him a woman who spoke English to lie with him. Which harlot being kept quietly in his chamber, found a little glass within a case stand. ing in a window, inr the coffers were all wet with the sea waves that fell into the ship durng the storm. She believing it had been ordained to be eaten, because it had an odoriferous smell, therefore she licked it clean out, which put the Bishop into such a rage, that he cried out for impatience, discovering this harlotry, and his choler in such sort as the Friars fled, and the woman followed. But the Irish men and his own servants did laugh at the matter, for it was a viol of the most pretious balm that grew in Egypt, which Solyman the Great Turk had given in a present to the said Bishop, after he had bcdn two years Ambassador for the King of France in Turkey, and was esteemed worth 2,000 crowns. In the time that we remained at Odocart's house, his young daughter who fled from the Bishop, came and sought me, where-ever I was, and brought a priest with her who could speak English, and offered, if I would marry her, to go with me where-ever I pleased. I gave her thanks, hut told her that I was but young, and h a d no estate, and was bound for France. Now the Ambassadour met in a secret part with Oneel and his associates, and heard their offers and overtures. And the Patriarch of Ireland did meet him there, who was a Scotchman born, c a ll e d W ac h op , and was blind of both his eyes, and yet had been divers times at Rome by post. Ile did great honour to the Ambassadour, and conveyed him to see St. Patrick's purgatory, which is like an old coal-pit which had taken fire by reason of the smoke that came out of the hole." -. • 4zi-j , e, -4 ,' , 47 1P. ;• ' - (,i7 4 ,: . *: . -4......; 11 , -. .41kku, , t : '' Ih ., - .- - '.1,, , i.* - ie. , ,,,- ; , , ;..5-70 . 7#.r,4 -9 ) . v , , ~..„ , ' , ..4j..1.:?,,L _..,,,," IV , ^c ,., ~...,,,,, ~, 17 \ .-:` s-:•1 . 77 z1t t—. 6 717 .7„ 5" , >.131,0 '* 4 , I V ... - 47 0 ' X THE ARMY.

(Signed) Regiment of (COPT.) WARRANT limiting the period within which APPLICATIONS for LOSSES shall be made. George R.—Whereas it has been represented by the Con solidated Board of General Officers, that, in consequence of the delay that frequently occurs on the part of Officers and soldiers in preferring claims to indemnification for losses, the investigation of such claims is attended with difficulty and in. convenience ; and whereas therefore, we think it expedient to limit the period within which such applications shall in future be made ; our will and pleasure is, that from and after the 24th of August, 1825, no claim of an Officer or soldier to compen sation for any loss of baggage or necessaries shall be entertain ed, if it be not preferred within twelve months after the time when the loss was sustained, unless such Officer or Soldier shall shew that it was not in his power to have preferred his claim within that period.—Given, &c. Sept. 3, 1825.. By his Majesty's command, (Signed) PA LM ERSTON. Colonel of the PALMERSTON. ERCANTILE SHIPPING. DEAL, DEc.

Henry O'Shea, Trenor, and Co., dated Valencia, Nov. 8, 1825, to Mr. Bennett, secretary to Lloyd's. " We have the honour to acquaint you, far the information of those whom it may concern, that in pursuance of a Royal order, which we have obtained from his Catholic Majesty, authorizing our establishing moorings for shipping in this open bay, that on the sth instant we laid down an anchor of three tons weight, in seven tathoms water, to which a very strong chain is attached, suspended to a buoy of a conic form, nine feet high, and about seven in diameter, which is visible from a great distance upon the superfice of the water, and the vessels which may make use of this, have simply so pass a cable through the ring affixed to the buoy, and thus ride with safety, besides avoiding the wear and tear of cables, so very usual in this port. The Spanish marine officers of this department, as well as the Captains of the English merchant vessels, and the foreign Consuls, whom we have consulted upon this project, are very sanguine as to the advantages of these moorings ; and it will afford us particular pleasure, if the exer tions we have made to establish them prove uaesul to cur coun trymen. In a few days we hope to lay down another anchor and chain, and skall augment them in proportion as they an , - swer our expectations of an almost certain security to the ves sels which frequent this exposed and open bay. On the 6th instant the English brig Nimble, Captain Wrightson, made fast to the new moorings, and the Captain speaks in the most flattering terms of their utility." LONDON MARKETS.
