This was an application which - had been made a few days ago by Mr. Price, for a writ of prohibition, to pre vent the sentence of a courtmlrtial from being carried into effect. The Court after having had a variety of cases submitted to them, took time to consider their judgment. The LORD CHIEF' JUSTICE, at the sitting of the Court this morning, gave judgment. The applicant, who had been an officer of the 55th regiment, had been tried on certain charges, found guilty, and sentenced to he dismissed his Majesty's service; that sentence had been ratified by his Majesty, and now an application was made for a writ of prohibition to prevent that sentence from being carried into effect. When the application was first made, the Court doubted whether they had any juris diction i❑ the matter, and they consequently requested the Learned Counsel to supply them with precedents. Fi e did submit some cases which he thought bore on the present one, but in none of them had any writ of prohi bition been issued after the execution of the sentence, and none of them in the opinion of the Court established the propositions which had been laid down by the Learned Counsel. In the case of Hall v. Howard, it was decided, that a motion for a writ of prohibition after judgment and execution was too late, and in the case of Darby v. Howard, Judge Ashurst delivered a similar opinion. The Court did not think it necessary to enter into any statement of the law as to writs of prohi bition, but in reference to courtsmartial there was this distinction between them and other Courts, that the former, immer:iately after the finding and sentence, ceased to exist, and consequently there was no one to whom the writ could be addressed. With reference to the party being dismissed from his Majesty's service, there was no doubt that the Crown had the power of dismissing without the interference of courtsmartial at all. One of the gr ,, unds put forward in support of the ap plication was, that the conrtmartial admitted evi dence that would not be admitted in any other Court; but it was absurd to expect that their proceedings would he conducted with all the nicety and precision that regu lated the proceedings of courts of law. Under all the cir cumstances the Court were unanimously cf opinion that the writ should not issue.—Rule refused. THE KING V. SAMUEL 'RACE/MIDGE HEIIIING, CLERIC.. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL appeared to show cause against a rule which had been obtained for a criminal information against the defendant, for misconduct as a magistrate of the county of Warwick. The misconduct was alleged to have taken place at the election in Decem ber last, for the Northern Division of that County. The candidates were Sir Eardley Wilmot, Mr. Dugdale, and Mr. Heming, a brother of the dwendant. There were at that time two other magistrates, beside the defendant, who were acting for that part of the county; great excitement prevailed previous to the election, and it was apprehended that a disturbance would take place, and it was alleged against the defendant that he took no precautionary steps to prevent it. The first charge against the defendant was, that he refused, when applied to, to swear in a sufficient number of special constables. only thirty having previously been sworn in. If that were true certainly he must have greatly neglected his duty, but it would turn out to be unfounded. The charges went over a space of four days, viz., the 19th, 20th, 21st, and 22d of December, and upon the appiica tions being made for an additional number of special constables, he was charged with having refused, and stating that he would answer for the peace of the county. It would be proved, in answer to that charge, that the defendant acted it. complete conceit with the other two magistrates, against whom no application and no com plaint had been made. The rule had been obtained on no less than 36 or 37 affidavits, but be (the Solicitor- General) had as many as 75 affidavits to clear the character of this gentleman from the imputations which had been cast upon him. Another charge against the defendant was that instead of using his influence to quell the riot, he did all in his power to promote it, by pointing out certain voters to the mob, by using signals to them, by encouraging the people to drink liquor, and by preventing, in his magisterial capacity, the mili tary from coming into the town when they had been sent for by the other magistrates. All those charges would be fully rebutted by the affidavits in answer to the rule. As to encouraging the people to drink, it would be proved that he ordered several public houses to be closed at an early hour. It was also charged against him that he refused to grant a warrant when applied to apprehend a rioter, named Petheridge. All those charges would he found to proceed from the political animosity of a party in the county; for if the defendant should, in the end, be thought by the Court to have been guilty of only a small part of what was alleged, be would deserve all the punishment this Court could indict on hire. He (the Solicitor • General) took on himself to say that he had a com plete answer to them all. He would, in the first instance, not that he had reason to care whether the objection was good or not—but for the sake of the Magistracy, and for the pm.- pose of enforcing order and regularity in the practice of the Court—submit that,as the defendant had not bad any notice of the intention of the prosecutors to make any application for a criminal information, the rule ought on that ground alone to be discharged. The Court had always laid down as a fixed rule, that for any thing done in the Magisterial character, a Magistrate should have some previous notice, and in this instance that had not been given. It was his duly, for the protec tion of the Magistracy of England, to take that objection. Everything alleged against the defendant was in his capa city of a Magistrate. The Learned Counsel having repeated the charges, contended that they all referred to the cha racter of a Magistrate, and therefore the defendant was entitled to have notice before the rule bad been applied for. Their Lordships, after some consultation, told Sir James Scarlett, who was for the prosecution, that they thought there was much weight in the objection. Sir J. SCA RLETT said, as that was the opinion of the Court, it became his duty to endeavour to alter it. It was true the defendant was spoken of as a magistrate, but the application for the criminal information was not made against him for any thing done in that character. He was charged with exciting the people to rioting, and that he, being a person of influence, did not use that in fluence to quell the disturbance. That did not refer to his magisterial capacity. So with the other charges. Although some things were alluded to in his magisterial character, they were merely mentioned as an historical part of the case, and by way of illustration, but the main charges were against the defendant in his private capacity. Their Lordships consulted together for some time, after The LORD CutEr JUSTICE said the Court were of opinion tbnt the case could not proceed. The practice of the Curt was, that no application should be made against a magistrate, for any thing done in his magisterial cha racter, without previous notice Lad been given. It was very true that one or two of the acts charged were sub stantive acts, fur which any person was liable to be pro ceede t against, but they were so mixed up with acts charged against the party as a magistrate, that it was th• duty of the prosecutor to give notice; and it was for the protection of the magistracy, that this Court should see that that rule was not departed from. The rule was then discharged, but without costs. THE KING V. COHEN. The defendant appeared to receive judgment for publish ing a libel in a Brighton newspaper. Mr. Sergeant SrArm:, for the prosecution, hoped their Lordships would fix a day for the defendants to re ceive judgmt-nt. He did not wian now to picas it on the Court, but he knew that the defendant was waiting, day after day. The COURT ordered this case, and all others in which judgment was to be given, to t.tand for Saturday. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) QUIILET V. COURTHOPE. This was an action brought to recover damages for injury done to a boat of the plaintiff's, in consequence of the negligent and unskilful navigation of the defendant's barge upon the river Thames. Mr. Sergeant Jortzs, with whom was Mr. AacusoLD, stated the nee to the Jury. The plaintiff was a slopsel ler, having, for the purposes of his trade with merchant ships, several boats. The boat in question was sent for repair to the wharf of a Mr. Moreland, at Rotherhithe, near to which it was anchored ; and on the night of the 3d of May last, the defendant, in navigating his barge, laden with coal., to an adjacent wharf, ran athwart the barge, and stove in the stern, in consequence of which the boat sunk, and the repairs consequent upon the acci dent involved an expense of between 8!. and 9/. Mr. Sergeant ANratives, for the defence, contended that from the state of the tide the damage was the result of accident, and did not arise from any negligence upon the part of the defendant. One witness was called, but his testimony did sot, in the main facts, contradict that adduced in behalf of the plaintiff. _ - The Jury returned a ♦erdict for the plaintiff.... D amages 81. OVENT GARDEN THEATRE. Auber's opera •f Gustavus the Third, which, as the Covent Garden play-bills assure us,has been in preparation all the summer, was produced here last night, and with such unequivocal, and we use no exaggerated term when we add, triumphant success, as justifies us in declaring it as our belief,that it will fill the theatre up to the Christmas holydays. The outlay on this play must have been enor mous, and nothing short of such a run can possibly repay the manager. At Patio, we are informed, Gustavus has been long a favourite, chiefly in consequence of Auber's music. It is not, however, for the same reason that it will be popular here. Though generally striking, and, in some few instances, exhibiting much pathos, yet the music is heavy, especially the solos, or, as we might style them, the vocal soliloquies, given to Anker strom, which are spun out. to an intolerable length, and have not variety of sentiment enough to compensate us for their tediousness. But the choruses are remarkably fine, full of life, variety, and animation ; one especially, which c loses the first act, was loudly encored. It is a sort of S wedish " God save the King," and breathes the very soul of loyalty. Of the solos, the only one that produced the slightest effect on the audience, was sung by Miss Shirreff in the scene of the masqued ball, with much arch ness and spirit. It was wholly of a light, sprightly character, and contrasted well with the general heaviness of the rest of the music. The opera, at its commence ment, discovers Gustavus (Mr. Warde), who, having successfully terminated his foreign contests, is about to devote himself to the more agreeable task of promoting the prosperity of his country in peace. He is surrounded by the nobles whose arrogance disturbed his whole reign, and whose implacable vengeance occasioned his death. The Time of a celebrated fortuneteller is mentioned, and the King, who loves amusement, determines to go in disguise to consult her. The courtiers are to accompany him, and the die effected nobles, who are seeking his death, imagine that this freak of the Monarch may furnish them with an opportunity of putting their project into effect. Before he sets out Gustavus performs one of those acts of clemency for which he was famous. He restores to his rank Captain Ankerstrom (Mr. H. Phillips), who had been degraded in consequence of its being suspected that he had been concerned in a treasonable correspond ence with Russia, and Count Lillienhorn (Mr. Templeton) is commissioned to inform him of his pardon. The C iunt has conceived a passion for Madame Ankerstrom (Miss Inverarity), which, although lie has not revealed it, she has discovered, and unhappily shares. In the hope of finding a cure for this inclination, she repairs to the for tune-teller ; the King there overhears, without knowing her, listens to the sorceress's recommendations to her to gather herbs, of power to eradicate her passion, which grow in a wild spot in the vicinity of the city, and deter mines to follow the lady and see the end of the adven ture, which lie looks upon as merely ridiculous. Madame Ankerstrom having departed, the King in turn asks to have his future destiny revealed to him. Arvedson (Mrs. Forowilliarn) tells him he will be assassinated by the next man who shall grasp his band. Gustavus, defying augury, turns to his dis guised courtiers and asks them to shake hands with him; they all decline, and at this moment Lidienhorn enters with Ankerstrom, who falling at the King's feet to thank him for his pardon, is raised by Gustavus, and grasps his hand! Ws is one among several good dramatic effects which occur in the course of the piece. The opening scene of the second act represents a dist int view of Stock holm, seen by moonlight from the place of public execu tion. Thither Madame Ankerstrom repairs to fulfil the injunctions of the sorceress. Thither, too, she is followed by the King, who hears her bewail her hapless passion, and still, without knowing her, remonstrates with and endea vours to console her, and offers to lead her to Stockholm without seeking to know her name. Ankerstrom, whom th• King's clemency has made his devoted partisan, having learned that the conspirators are lying in wait for Gus tavus, arrives for the purpose of apprising him of his danger. Madame Ankerstrom recognises her husband, and implores the King not to disclose to him, of all other men, her secret. Gustavus, true to his promise, proposes to escort her to Stockholm, but Ankerstrom objects that to depart with the lady will insure his being intercepted by the conspirators, and offers to remain and guard her. Madame Ankerstrom joins in entreating him to fly, and at length lie consents to do so, first exacting from Ankers trom a promise that he will not attempt to learn who the lady is. The King departs, and in safety ; the Counts Horn and Ribbing, the chief conspirators, enter with their followers and insist upon Ankerstrom's taking them whither the King has gone. He resolutely refuses, they attack him, his life is in peril, when his wife throws herself between him and his foes, and avows her name and cha saeter. The conspirators, who believe that she had been engaged in a❑ assignation with the King, scoff at Anker strom upon this discovery, and their taunts and his own jealousy induce him at once to join their faction. The next scene takes place in a chamber in his house. His wife, upon her knees, conjures him to believe her inno cence. He is deaf to her entreaties. The Counts Horn and Ribbing enter, and, with Ankerstrom, agree to de termine by lots on whom the task of murdering the King shall fall. Their names, written on slips of paper, are put into a vase ; and at this moment Madame Ankerstrom enters, whop► her husband compels to draw the first paper. It is inscribed with his name, and he thanks his wife fur haring procured him the chance he wished for. The King's grand masked ball is to take place on the same night, and a page, Oscar (Miss Shirreff), brings invitations to Ankerstrom and his wife, which are accepted, the ball seeming to offer to the enraged husband, whom jealousy has made a traitor, a fitting occasion for consummating his vengeance. The third act is devoted almost wholly to the masqued ball. Dances ensue enough to fill a whole ballet. Besides gallopades, Mrs. Vining and five t , f the coryphees execute a German pus. A dance des folles, led by Made moiselle Celeste, a whimsical and grotesque affair, but very diverting, was admirably performed; and a ludi crous fieure dance by two performers with double faces provoked some laughter. All this merriment terminates with the tragical and too true catastrophe of Gustavus's death by the hand of Ankerstrom. The scene of the masqued ball is, without exception, the most striking, the most magnificent, we ever witnessed. The stage is thrown open to its utmost length and breadth, and exhibits the saloon of the opera at Stockholm, pro fusely lighted with splendid chandeliers, covered with a skilfully-painted imitation of the richest Turkish carpetting, and crowded with a motley assemblage of persons, dressed in every possible variety of European and Asiatic costume. As all these move slowly forward to the front, from a distant quarter of the saloon, a pretty shrewd guess may be made at its reach of perspective. The various dances in this ball were conducted with remarkable spirit and accuracy, and the closing catastrophe brought about in a very effective manner. The scenery throughout was superb. Among the best scenes was a distant view of Stockholm by moonlight, painted by the Grieves with a truth and force not unworthy of Stanfield. At the close of the opera, Mr. Bartley came forward and announced its repetition, amidst loud and enthusiastic cheers from all parts of one of the most crowded houses we ever saw. HAYMARKET THEATRE. Mrs. GLOVER'S benefit—Mrs. GLOVER in the part o Sir John Falstaff What a cream of a character ! In thy' Merry Wives of Windsor he is precisely least fit for a lady's eye. He is not any longer the mere jolly, joking washer and sack swiller ; he has become a " coney catcher,' wholly devoted to amours pursued in his peculiar vein, both on his account and that of Master Brook, as ancient Pistol says, whe❑ Page's wife looked kindly on him. " Then did the sun on a dunghill shine." However, Mrs. GLovEn undertook the tat Knight, and dressed out she was to present the likeness of the " tun of man," while his hoary locks and grisled beard adorned her countenance. She certainly was beyond our recognition in the costume. The performance was, it may tie admitted, a clever effort, but it was wholly beneath what it attempted, and was applauded not, as we should suppose, because it was that of a genuine Falstaff; but because people were much surprised at a female entering with any degree of success into the action and delivery of such a part. Mrs. Gum:it's scene, after she is supposed to have undergone the ducking in the mud ditch was her best. It required a considerable effort, which she sustained very spiritedly. VININO'S Ford was clever, and Mr. WEBSTER was an excellent Master Slender. Miss PATON and Miss TURPIN were both too young for the wives, but the fault is an old one The Lord Chancellor is noted for the celerity of his movements. We find him last Saturday evening at the Civic Banquet at seven o'clock ; and afterwards, on his health being drank, returning thanks. By our Palace report it appears that his Lordship arrived in Brighton the same evening, and the next morning he had an audience of the King. On Monday his Lordship attended a Privy Council in London.—Brighton Gazette. THE MURDER AT PLUMSTEAD. -- AD "uRNRD INctursr.—The inquest on the body of Mr. George Bodle was resumed yesterday morning at ten o'clock at the Plume of Feathers, Plumstead. The inquiry was, after the examination of several witnesses, adjourned till this morning. It is expected that the inquest will terminate this day. COURT CIRCULAR. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria were present at Covent•garden theatre last evening, to see the first performance of the new opera of Gustavus the Third ; or the Masked Ball. Accounts have been received in town of the arrival, at Hanover, of Prince George of Cambridge, on the 28th ult. The Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Lansdowne, and Viscount Palmerston had interviews with Earl Grey yester day, at the Treasury. Monsieur Dedel, the Dutch Special Minister, the Prus sian Minister, the Right Hon. Charles Grant, and Sir J. Graham, visited Viscount Palmerston yesterday, at the Foreign-office. The United States Charge d'Affaires transacted busi ness, yesterday, at the office of the Secretary of State fur the Colonial Department. Lord Holland entertained Earl Grey, and a select party, at dinner, last evening, at his residence Stanhope street. Viscount Althorp left town yesterday fur St. Alban's, to join a shooting party. BRIGHTON, Nov. 13. Yesterday afternoon, the King, accompanied by the Countess Brownlow, left the palace in a close carriage and four, proceeded through East-street to the West Cliff, from thence on to Shoreham, passing over the new bridge (erected by the Duke of Norfolk) and back to the palace, previous to which his Majesty sat for his portrait to Sir M. A. Shee, President to the Royal Academy. The Queen, accompanied by the Duchess of Gloucester, took a carriage drive to near Shoreham, and returned to the palace before two o'clock. The Princess Augusta drove out, attended by Miss \Vynyard, visiting Kemp Town and the Cliff,. Captain Woolmore, R.N. took leave of their Majesties, and returned to London. Yesterday morning, the Duke of Gloucester, attended by his Equerry, Captain Boyd, Major-General Sir An drew Barnard, and Colonel Sir Charles Thornton, re viewed the King's Dragoon Guards in their barrack-yard. His Royal Highness expressed himself much pleased with the precision with which the troops went through the various evolutions, and also with the appearance of the horses, which are of a superior description, after which his Royal Highness and attendants sat down to a dejeune, served up in a splendid manner in the mess-raw - 1. Several of the nobility and gentry of the place were invited to partake of the dejeune, and the band of the regiment, sta tioned in an adjoining room, performed some admired pieces of music, and concluded with the national anthem. Sir Charles Pratt and Sir Colin Campbell, and several military officers of distinction were present. Sir Hilgrove Turner arrived last evening at the Palace, from London, and joined the Royal suite. The Royal dinner party last evening comprised—The Princess Augusta, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, Marquis and Marchioness of Conyngharn, Earl and Countess of Uxbridge, Lord and Lady Falkland, Lord and Lady Crofton, Earl and Conotes4 Brownlow, Earl and Countess Errol, Captain Boyd, Equerry to the Duke of Gloucester; Sir Hilgrove Turner, Sir Philip and Lady Sidney, and the suite.

Earl and Countess of Bandon and family, Lord aqd Lady Crofton, Earl and Countess of Moray, Lieutenant-Colonel Elwood, Lord James Hay, &c. I❑ cunst•quence of the fine weather yesterday, the pro menades were numerously visited by the &tut ton, and the drives exhibited a long line of splendid carriages today. The equipage of the Marchioness of Conyngham, driven by her Ladyship in propria persona, was much admired. The Duke and Duchess of St. Albans arrived, late last evening, at their house on the West Cliff. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.

On Thursday the sth Dragoon Guards' Steeple Chase came off at the Ashbourne Course, near Dublin. Amongst the gentlemen on the turf we observed the Earl of Howth, Lord Butler, Lieutenant-Colonel Sir J. M. Wallace, K.H., Lieutenant-Colonel Townsend, Hon. C. J. Ridclyffe, Captains Knox, Bolton, J.W. King, Shaw, H. E. Beville, Graham, Harley, .'Mahon, Ashe, O'Brien, &c. The articles of the race were—Sweepstakes of five soya, each, to which Captain Scott added a silver cup ; two mile heats, over the Shamrock Course. Captain Beville's ch. In., Captain King's b. h., Captain Knox's b. in. Nanny, Sit J. M. Maxwell's ch. h., and Lieutenant Meade's b. m., came to the post in fine condition, and, after three well contested heats between the three first named, Captain Beville's cli, m. won the prize. The cup, which is hand somely chased, was the❑ given to the victor; it bears an inscription. FIGHT NEAR WOLVERHAMPTON. The expected contest between Harry Preston, the Bir mingham Youth, and David Davies, alias Welsh Dwies. for 501. a side, came off on Tuesday within two milts of Wolverhampton, at a place called Crompton• Preston's supposed temerity in challenging Dutch Sant gave considerable interest to the issue of this contest. At half-past twelve o'clock the combatants met on the Wolverhampton Racecourse. Harry Preston was seconded by Dick Curtis and Deaf Burke, and Weis!: Davis Dutch Sam and Jack Matthews. Upon stripping the men exhibited a healthy and fresh appearance. Davi• hod the advantage in weight by one stone. After five rounds the interference of the civil authority obliged th, comhatants to separate, and a general movement wa effected to a place called Crompton. On the re-com mencement of the fight Preston evidently had the ad vantage; and, after a lapse of an hour and a quarter, Davis was considered the victor, in consequence, it was al leeed, of a foul act on the part of Preston, who struck hi• opponent with his head while lie was in the act of failing. Upon appealing to the umpires a referee was called, who decided in favour of Davis upon the ground. M. Matthieu, formerly a member of tilt. National Convention, died a few days ago at his residence at Condat, near Libourne. He was engaged in writing but a few minutes before his death.--French Paper. DENSE FoG.—Tuesday evening the fog was so great that the mail coaches leaving town were st much obstructed by the darkness which prevailed that it was with great difficulty, notwithstanding the aid of torches, that they could proceed on their journey, par ticularly on the western road. Between Kilburn an Paddington there was a considerable stoppage of car riages for a considerable time, and it is feared many acci dents must have occurred. Yesterday morning the second battalion of the first regiment of Grenadier Guards, commanded by hi. Grace the Duke of Wellington, at present stationed at the new barrack in the Birdcage-walk, mustered on the tisua place of parade, and marched to the King's Mews barracks, Charing-cross. Private Orger, belonging to the battalion, who had been about six weeks in confinement, was also brought out, and marched a prisoner with them, to hear read over the minutes of a courttnartial which bad been held upon him. The battalion having arrived at the bar. rack, they were mustered in the old state stable in the Mews. Colonel Doyle, the commander of the battalion, was in attendance, and private Orger was brought out. Captain Torrens, the Adjutant, then read over the minutes of the courtmartial, when it appeared that Orger was charged with insubordinate conduct, having come, in a state of intoxication, on duty, and when desired to give up his arms he had threatened to run the first person through who dared to take them from him. O❑ the above charge he was found guilty by a general courtmartial, and sentenced to receive 500 lashes. He was immediately tied up, and the drummers commenced their flagellation on his bare hack, a fresh hand being procured at every 20 lashes. After he had received 200 lashes, Mr. Harrison, the sur geon of the regiment, gave immediate orders to stop the punishment. A hackney coach was then procured, which was brought into the Mews, and Orger having been taken down, he was put into the coach with a guard, and re moved to the military hospital, Rochester-row, Tuthill fields, Westminster. BLACKBIRDS.—AII the gardeners with whom we have conversed (and the number is not small) during the present season, complain of the ravages committed by the blackbirds. These sooty vocalists appear to be in creasing, while the merle or thrush, whose song boasts of so much variety, is, on the contrary, rather declining i❑ numbers ; and it is somewhat odd that the same thing holds good of blackeocks and grouse. An opem winter with plenty of haws, favours feathered, just as rowtls or galore of potatoes, favours human, population in Ireland; and for two successive seasons the tribe have suffered little from the usual casualties that tend to keep their number down. Repeatedly, we have been told, particularly in the case of gardens situated near to woods—" if you only clap your hands or sound a rattle, you will see them rising and fleeing off like a flock of crows." To a tithe of the giens and cherries the blackbirds have a fair and legitimate claim ; but when they attack strawberries, peas, &c., and even eat the heart out of pears and other fruit on standards and walls, the gardeners grumble very sadly; and as there is no law to protec , against such wholesale poachers, they hesitate not to take the law into their own hands. Every gardener keeps a gun, and formerly a good deal of powder was spent in warring against the blackbird; but as this method was found troublesome, and upon the whole inefficient, recourse has been had to strategy, in the shape of baited rat-traps. One gardener of our acquaintance, who captured upwards of eighty offenders in this way, found among the whole only three thrushes ; and we are aware of experiments on a smaller scale, in which the result was precisely similar. The merle may be snore cunning than the blackbird ; but we strongly suspect the tribe are much less numerous ; and horticulturists generally seem inclined to spare them, both from the preference they give to their varied min strelsy, and the conviction that they are comparatively hannless:birds.—Dumfries Cosricr..

DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.-0911 Tues dry evening as Colonel Whalley, of No. 11, Hermes terrace, Chelsea, was returning home, between seven and eight o'clock, he was suddenly attacked by a ruffian in Grosvenor place, who knocked him down, and robbed :rim of a valuable watch. Attached were three gold seals ; one a large seal, with coat of arms—three whales' heads ; motto " Gloria Deo de profundis ;" another a yellow eornelian of a 111 , 1111 ; and the third a rolling stone four sided seal. The fog was very dense at the time, and the robbery was so sudden that the Colonel had not an oppor 'unity of even catching a glance at the ruffian, who was out of sight in an instant. ROBBING A MAIL COACH.—On Tuesday evening, when the Chester mail was preparing to start 'cirn the yard of the Golden Cross Inn, Charing cross, a box and dressing-case belonging to Lord Cole were stolen. The box contained a quantity of minerals, and the dressing-case five gold seals; one of which a coronet, another a swivel with three sides (has his Lordship's coat of arms), and a third the figure of William 111., on horseback. Mr. Baron Livins, the Manager of the Eng• limb Company of Actors, who are gone to Germany, has arrived at Hamburg.

We understand that the Board of Esc have been engaged some time in the investigation of an illeged irregularity in their office, in the stationery depart ment. It is not generally known that the Excise hav e large printing establishment and a steam engine, for print ing permits, officers' account books, bonds, licenses: orwil a great variety of p , inted forms, used in all the different branches of the service. The paper is purchased for them by the Stationery Office, and delivered, as required, to the Excise Printing-office, conformably to the orders of the Excise Board ; but it is reported that considerable quantities of the paper so delivered have been removed privately from the printing-office. We understand that the officers of the Stationery Office have been in attend ance at the Excise Board to authenticate, by their books and vouchers, the deliveries of the paper to the Excise Printing-office.—Morning Paper. We have much gratification in mentioning another instance of Royal bounty, and in being enabled to state that his Majesty has contributed 1001. to the fund for building and endowing the free church now erecting in the eastern part of Brighton. In recording this fact, we cannot refrain from adverting, at the same time, witb peculiar pleasure to the success which, in these days of anti-religious feeling, has attended the praiseworthy exer tions of the clergy in this town, the subscription for the above ohject being not only considerable in itself, but comprising the names of persons in all ranks of life. This, we repeat, is a striking, as well as most gratifying fact, when we see a spirit so hostile to the church, as well as destructive of all religion, working in too many places suds fearful and pernicious effects.—Brighton Gazette. CALIPH VATHEK.—The Caliph Vathek not only admired and countenanced literature - and the scion es, but himself a proficient in some of them, especially poetry and music. He was particularly addicted to astrology; and having conferred with some of his learned fraternity in his last illness, they assured him, os consulting his ho roscope, that his reign was yet to endure fifty years. His death, in ten day., falsified this prediction, and ruined the credit of Hassan ihn Sohal.—Edinburpl a Cabinet Library, No. XI V.
