LOSS OF THE EARL OF tVENIYSS. other ornaments of jewellery, and a large paper of Precious stones, which were not set. Mrs. Pyne often showed her the same jewel-case, and frequently told her that the jewels it contained she had brought from India, and that they were of the value of from 2,000/. to 3,0001. ; that at the time she was packing it in August last, Mrs. Pyne remarked to her that she should not like to lose that case-, as she would rather lose all that she was worth in the world than that case, or words to that effect. She saw Mrs. Pyne place underneath the tray of the jewel-case a roll of bank -notes; and she knew they were bank-notes, inasmuch as Mrs. Pyne took from the said roll one note of 5/. Mrs. Pyne did not open the box before she went on board the Earl of TVemyss. Mrs. Pyne, in her presence, also packed her workbox, which was a wooden box of French manufacture, in imitation of tortoise-shell, and ornamented with steel ornaments. She saw her pl&ce thirteen sovereigns under the tray of it, and it contained a variety of papers and other articles, that were usually for ladies' work-boxes. Hannah Pike, who assisted in laying out the bodies of the passengers, said she observed that one of the ears of the stout lady, whom she since under stood to be Mrs. Pyne, was red and inflamed, and the hole in the ear in which the ear-ring had been worn was torn down, but was not torn through, and I she observed it to the other women. themselves. Mr. Roberts cornplaioed also that th corporate property was partially asse•sed in conse quence of the influence of the select vestry, and proved the allegation from the rate-books. The church-rates were also proved to be partially assessed. Mr. Roberts further alleged, that in the year 1830 a material alteration had been made in the grand and petty juries of the borough, from political and party motives; and stated that twenty-ane out of twenty-four persons whose names had been on the jury-list previous to the summer election of that year, had been expunged in consequence of their having promised their votes in opposition to Mr. Halse ; and that their places were filled up by other persons from among Mr. Halse's tenants and adhe rents. This was corroborated by several persons in the hall, who were among the expunged. Mr. Rushton considered this a grave charge, and ordered the town-clerk to produce the jury-list referred to. It was inconvenient, however, to find any list ante cedent to the alleged change; some few sub•equear ones only were produced, among which was the one containing the names of the new:y chosen juries, who were, to a man, the partisans of Mr.. Halse at the election ; so that Mr. Roberts's charge was fully and satisfactorily made our. In reply to this, Mr. Richard Ilichens, who was Mayor that year, declared that he recollected having made considerable change in the juries at that pe riod, from motives of discretion, and without the slightest reference passible to party or political feeling. During the last 122 years there have been 38 Lords Lieutenant of this country, but four of these (Earl Tem ple, Marquis of Buckingham, Marquis of Wellesley, and the Marquis of Anglesea) have been twice in office.

DORKING, TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. - Th e investigation still continues.—Mr. Ashurst, the so licitor for the relatives, on a former day applied to the Magistrates to request that they v.ould apply to Lord Melbourne to compel the attendance of Mr. Logan, Mr. Horseburg, and Mr. Davies, who were passengers on board the vessel, to give evidence upon the present inquiry, but who were then in Scotland. Mr. Hare advised Mr. Asburst himself to make the application, which he did. Mr. G. Lamb replied to Mr. A-hurst—" Lord Melbourne does not think he can at present interfere in the manner reques'ed by you, particularly as it appears that Mr. Logan and Mr. Horsburg have already been examined on oath at the inquest held by the Coroner; and his Lord•hip recommends that —interest of the corporation debt, 2701.; interest on the market debt, 781.; expended in a new crane at the quay, Zepeirs, rates, &c., 4421. 135.; police charges, 1051 . 6 s. 11d . ; lighting the town, 1451. 10s. 9d. ; salaries to officers, 1701 164 31; rates and ta xes f or rho mark 4; 471 4 . 81.; dona tion to the new chinch, 333/. 6,;..

BERLIN, Oct'. 2.—The plan of the journey o our Crown Prince was changed a few days before his departure, in consequence of an invitation from a Foreign Power, and tits Royal Highness goes first to Westphalia and the Rhenish provinces, then re turns by way of Tegemsee and Munich, where he will juin the Princess his Con,ort. We also hear from good authority that the Mince will visit the Courts of Darmstadt and Carlsruhe. Count Nes selrode had fixed his departure for the 3d of Octo ber, hut we hear he has resolved to prolong his stay here. Persons who have daily opportunities of seeing this eminent statesman, speak of the incessant activity with which he seenis to be carrying on im portant negotiations. M. Bresson, the French NU nister, gave a grand diplomatic dinner to Count Nesselrode the day before yesterday. It is observed that since their return from Toplitz the Ministers of two great Courts here have ag ree d 'o 1w on much more rrieray terms. Tne Duke of Camttt;tto ' e st ill remains here, and, as we hear nothing of his depar ture, it is thought he means to wait for the arrival of the Duke of Cumberland. Strange reports of the restoration of a kingdom, with a Pru..ian Prince on the throne, have been in general circulation for some days past, even in the higher circles. We mention them because they are the tove of conversation, but without answering for them. HANOVER, OCT. 2.—The resolution of his Ma jesty the King, and the proposal of the Estates respecrag the Constitution, were made known to the Cabinet 'Ministry yesterday by his Majesty's rescriut, dated the 26th of September. The Constitution for the kingdom of Hanover, which was signed by his Majesty on the same day, and also arrived here yesterday, will be immediately published, together with the documents belonging to it, in the Collection of the Laws. STOCKHOLM, OCT. I.—Our State Gazette de clares that there is no foundation whatever for an article published in several Paris journals respecting the proposals said to have been made by the King of Sweden to Don Pedro for a marriage between the Duke of Leuchtenberg and Donna Maria. The Board of Quarantine at Gottenburg has or dered that travellers coming from foreign countries must prove that fourteen days before their departure they have not been in any place considered as in fected, nor for nine days in any place considered to be suspected. PRAGUE, OCT. I.—lt has been affirmed that the Carlists coming from Paris to Busherad, to compli ment the Duke of Bordeaux on his coming of age on the 29th of September,would not be allowed to pass the Bohemian frontiers. This has not been caused, for the solemn congratulation really took place on the 29th, not indeed by many hundreds, as the newspapers had announced, for all had come in twenty elegant carriages, and there were many among them who have long lived in Germany. Why, in fact, should admission be refused to un suspected travellers, who are provided with regular passports, to pay a tribute of respect and homage to a Prince whose misfortune is not his own fault, and is an act of humanity, which being laudable does not deserve to be impeded ? Swords and spears are the most usual presents to a young Prince becoming of age. The young Duke of Fitzjames had the honour to present them to the Prince, and to express the attachment and the wishes of all. Charles X. and the Duke de Blacas were not pre sent; nay, it was said that both would leave the city, one to view an estate which is to be put chased, and the Castle of Leobin, the other to Switzerland. It is said that they both did not approve of this act. It cannot be hardly doubted that the Duchess of Berry will come to Busherad, though the newspa pers say to the contrary.

'de- CHIEF JUSTICE DOHERTY.—A COnSb.. rahle sensation was produced on Tuesday by the rumour of the severe and dangerous indisposition of this estimable and justly-popular personage. The Surgeon-General left town for Coolnamuck, in the county of Waterford, where the Chief•Juscice was staying ; and we are happy to say that the accounts received this morning are of the most fivourable and satisfactory description .—Dublin Evening told him to go and render all the assistance in his power. He did so. The witness having deposed to the landing of the passengers, said that he and others went on board. Some little time after he was on board, some of the bodies were seen floating in t he cabin, and a number of men around endeavoured to get them out. In allusion to a charge of brutality which Mr. Ashurst, the solicitor, had made, he begged to say, in explanation, that he took charge of the pro perty of the bodies, to protect them from revoltingin dignities—such as having their fingers cut off to get the rings off them. Hearing that there weresome rings found upon the persons of the drowned, he came forward and said to those who had them,—" Allow me to take charge of them." Some were put into his hand, and others he took off. He used every delicacy in placing the bodies on the deck. One of the ladies—the stout one, Mrs. Pyne—had a reti cule in her bosom ; he took charge of that. Some gentlemen were standing around him, and asked him to open it ; he did so ; the wind was blowing very hard ; he put it into his pocket ; he thought it would be wrong to examine the contents then. Mr. Mingay came up to him and requested he would give up the bag to him ; he told him that he only knew declined g iving it, but at t°tii -11-e fleplettsis his honour not to part with if except in his presence. After he left the vessel, the first place he went to was the church ; be there saw Mr. Hollowav, th e minister; in a few minutes after he had entered he told him that he had a reticule of Mrs. Pyre's; he had it then in his pocket; he wore a short jock't; the bag was wet in his pocket; he raised the jacket on one side towards Mr. Hullo.. ay, and unstrapped the reticule, without taking it nut of his pocket, but so, as he judged, that Mr. Holloway saw the direction ofa letter contained in it. The letter contained the address of Mrs. L. Pyne. He told his father-in law that he had got a lady's reticule, and Mr. Si ms advised him to take care of it until a proper owner was found. Witness afterwards went to the Ship Inn, and mentioned to the Captain that he had got a reticule belonging to one of the passengers; the Captain said, Very well, Sir ;" witness on going home opened the reticule; the contents were all wet, some more so than others ; the reason why some w, -re drier than others was, the Exchequer bills and letters lay at the top, and under thorn at the bottom was a purse; a letter which was wrapped round this purse was nearly obliterated, and was all in pieces. He found in the purse nine Bank of England notes, of 51. each. There were also three sovereigns and three ; the sove reigns and shillings were doubled tip in the Si. notes. In answer to an observation why the bank notes were not as wet as the Exchequer , bills and letters, witness said that the Si. notes were doubled up in a smaller compass, and compressed together. The letter to which he had referred as nearly oblite rated was wrapped round the purse. When the papers were sufficiently dry he took an account of them in his private memorandum, which he now produced. The Exchequer bills were four for 1001. each. Witness next morning went in search of the pas stingers, but could not find any. He next saw Mr. Holloway, and both he and Mr. H. wrote letters to the family of Mrs. Pyne. at Bayswater. On Tuesday morning he saw Captain Nesbit, who said that he must have the bag. He told him to name his hour and he would meet him ; they agreed upon three o'clock. He met the Captain at the Vase appointed in the presence of Mr. Logan and Mr. Horseburg, J. Davidson, H. Gooch, and W. H. Mengay. He delivered up to Captain Nesbit the batik notes, the gold, the silver, the Exchequer bills, amounting together to 4481. Ss., which were enclosed in the re icule, with sundry small articles, a parcel of keys, gloves, pocket-handkerchiefs, ivory memorandum•book, and some letters and papers. Captain Nesbit signed the memorandum prepared for him for the receipt of those articles. The ar ticles of jewellery were thus particularized :—four gold rings, one black ditto, one pair of gold ear-rings, one single, one coral necklace. The several gentlemen present signed the certificate that he had delivered up the foregoing articles. When the things were delivered up Mr. Gooch addressed him as follows :—" Well, Sir, this is all very well, and we don't for a moment doubt your veracity; but what a pity it was that you did not cause the bag to be opened in the pre sence of some person; supposing the contents might have been 4,0001. instead of 4001." He replied, ihat it would be a very poor reward for his services. On Friday morning Mr. Pyne arrived at Brancaster ; he introduced himself to him; IVlr. Pyne expressed himself satisfied, shook hands with him, and witness told him it was a great relief to his mind that Mr. Pyne did so, as there were many idle reports in circulation prejudicial to his character; he could not imagine what had given rise to them. Mr. Reeve having now stated that he had no legal adviser, said " If 1 have done wrong I must throw myself upon their mercy." p o s M e d Mr. t Hannaho assisting \Vest, female attendant on the late Mrs. Pyn e , was the next witness called. She de- Mrs. Pyne to pack up her trunks prior to her journey; she saw Mrs. Pyne place he: jewel case in the tin box produced; witne-s saw that the case contained jewels of different descrip tions, and a very great assortm en t o f rings , b rooc h es , bracelets, ear-rings, necklaces, neckcbains, and The C-mmissioners for Corporations (Messrs. Austin and Booth), held their sitting at Usk on the 19th ult. The business was soon despatched. In the course of their inquiries the Recorder having stated that there was no charter of incorporation in existence, Mr. Mostyn produced a document, pur porting to be a copy of a charter granted by Roger de Mortimer, Earl of March, in the 21st year of Richard H., with a ratification (the original having been lost) by his son, Edmund de Mortimer, also Earl of March, in the third year of Henry V. This document was found amongst the papers of a late Recorder, and was endorsed by his hand thus : Copy of Usk charter and its ratification ;" and Mr. Mostyn suggested that a document coming from such custody, and so authenticated, was good secondary evidence of the charters of which it pur ported to contain a copy. The Recorder admitted that he had many years since received a copy of the document produced, but still contended against its validity and effect. The Commissioners, however, concurred with Mr. Mostyn, and stated that they should consider Usk to have as good and firm a charter as any borough in England. James Booth, Esq., one of his Majesty's Com missioners appointed to inquire into the state of municipal corporations, will commence his investi gation into the state of the corporations of Swansea on Wednesday next. The public mind is entirely occupied with the proceedings of the Municipal Commissioners, and prepared as it was for shameful discoveries, the dis gusting details already made known, it must be con fessed, surpass the foulest expectation. Jobbing, electioueentig, embezzling, or, in their more hunt:- less moods, guzzling, seem to have been the com mon and only occupation of corporators. The office of the Commissioners is either to rout out foxhole or rake pigsties; a more filthy arid nightmanlike labour was ❑ever put upon gentlemen; but as that true patriot of old, sweep thF streets of i s ti s d o as ii t i e i , d ,s o d s is c d o a e in an t d o sfirinik from their loathsome emplOytnent, — iii - Olikr , fain to hold their noses ; but the stench is really abominable, anti no wonder that they hurry through their work. At Leicester a mass of abomination has been exposed, enough to knock down any one but a Tory, whose olfactories, like the nostril= of the wild ass in the wind, expand with delight in snuffing up the fumes of corruption. Elsewhere the Commis sioners have met with tolerable respect from the offi cers of municipal bodies, but the self-elect of Leicester, waxing fat in their shame, have turned round and kicked at the inquisitors; the Town-Clerk refusing, without the advice of the Tory Recorder, Sergeant Goulhurn, to produce a certain mortgage exe cuted by the corporation." But the scandalous fact has transpired, that 10,0001. of the corporate funds had been appropriated to the Tory election contest of 1826; and this, be it remembered, is the corpo ration for whose municipal integrity Sir Robert Peel anti Lord Lyndhurst vouched so emphatically. No dotibi_ the Duke of Northumberland, the Earl of Mount-Edgcumbe, Lord Eliot, the Earl of F4l - the Marquis of Hertford, and the Duke of Leeds, would respectively as readily bear witness to the Furity, the uprightness, and independence of the corporations of Launceston, Lostwithiel, Lis keard, Truro, Bodmin, and Helton; so much reli ance is to be placed on the good characters given by furies.—Cornish Guardian. IVES.—On the Ist Edward Rushton, Esq., one of the corporation commissioners, pro ceeded to the Guildhall, and after explaining briefly the object of his visit, he proceeded to examine the town-clerk, Mc. William Hicheris, as to the limits of the town corporate, the number of the corporaturs and other details. The corporation should consist of 1 1 capital bur gesses, or aldermen (including the mayor), a re corder, and town-clerk, with an indefinite number of inferior burgesses; the number of the latter class first a ppointed by the chart e r w as 11. i There are n the present corporation 10 capital burgesses, and two inferior burgesses, a recorder, lead town-clerk; of the 10 aldermen, who in virtue of that office compose a select vestry not by charter, but by custom only, in whose hands is the entire government of the parish funds, arising from the church, poor, and other rates, two are non-residents, and possess no kind of property in the borough, and three others absent them-elves invariably from the vestry and other meetings of the corporation. The other five, who actually compose the vestry, toge ther with the recorder, who is also a non-resident, and is represented by deputy, and the town-clerk, who is likewise an inferior burgess, are closely con nected in a string of relationship by blood and marriage. The present revenue of the town amounts to 1944 45., and the expenditure to 1341. 45.; a debt of 1501. is due to tradesmen on the market-house. The mayor, the late mayor, for one year after his m a yoralty, the recorder, and the senior alderman, arejustices of the peace for the borough, and have the power among other things of granting or refusing licenses to public-houses. They appoint two out of the three churchwardens (who are generally chosen from their own body) as well as the over seers of the poor and highways, which officers are accountable only to the select vestry, of which the magistrates are as matter of course members. They except us rle t s ot examinationhir also app o i nt t h e assessors an d co ll ec . ors o f taxes; so that th e i n h a bi tants or rate-payers in genera l are ex cluded f rom al l part i c i pat i on i n t h e management of t t l i: e e r p e a o r f, is e h x b e u e siness, and from all knowledge in respect —.. o%vn individual ha vi n having as sessment. beeiigone through, Mr. Rushton stated that he was then ready The town- to hear evidence frotn any person present. Mr. Rob er t s o bj ecte d * generally to the relationship which subsisted between those members of ihe cor poration who composed the acting vestry of the present time. He objected also to the system of exclusive government in the parish, as exercised by the select vestry; in which he was joined by the universal assent of all present, except the corporation Captain James Wearne corroborated the evidence of Mr. Roberts, and stared that he was one of the persons whose names were expunged from the list of jurors in 1830, for voting against Mr. Halse. Captain \Vearne stated also, that a great reduction in the poor-raves had been made some short time since, in favour of only a select number of the payers, in opposition to the wishes of a number of ihe principal inhabitants of the parish. It appears frum Captain Wearne% evidence, that about the period when the Reform Bill was in progress through Parliament, a number of persons who had never been rated were put on the rates for the pur pose of making them scot-and-lot voters, before the Reform Act should preclude the possib►lity of making such an addition to the constituency of the borough. They were then charged 6 , 1. per rate, on rentals of from 4/. to 6/. per annum, or thereabouts. The men so put up complained of their inability to pay their rents if such high rates were continued to be charged upon them. Ac c.irdingly, it was proposed to the parish-officers, by some interested party, that those individuals, being upwards of one hundred, should have their rates reduced from 6d. to 3il. and 2d. per rate, without any corresponding reduction being made upon the general amount of the parish assessment. this was in vain objected to, and the men con tinued on the rate-books at the reduced ratio. The whole inquiry did not occupy more than about four hours. We regret much that space will not permit our giving our report at length ; the exposure made wil, make a pretty conspicuous figure in the black cata logue or the commissioners. On Wednesday the corporation commissioners sat at Penzance, when the accounts relative to the income and expenditure were most minutely investi gated ; and the result was, that after a very patient hearing of objections to the conduct of the corpora tion in the outlay of their fund., the Commissioners expressed themselves perfectly satisfied with then ait.,”.'oet- and asserted that hnd :c ~t so free from censure as they found the corporation of Penzance. On Monday last Hanry Roscoe, Esq., the corpo ration commissioner, sat at He'stone, and after a most minute investigation into the state of the cor poration, our correspondent informs us that nothing could be proved that could attach the slightest im putation to the conduct of the body! But we shall inquire further. The revising barristers held their court at Heist. tone on Wednesday, for the borough, when the lists of voters were found perfect, and yesterday they went through the county lists of the district.—Cor nish Guardian. PENZANCE.—The corporation commissioners sat in the Town-hall, Penzance, on Wednesday last, to investigate the state of the corporation of that town. The mayor, town-clerk, and several members of the corporation were present; there was also a full attendance of the inhabitants, who watched the proceedings with considerable interest. The only "witnesses examined were J. Batten, Esq., the mayor, and G. D. John, Esq., the town-clerk, from whose evidence the following facts are collected. The charter on which the Corporation Act was founded was granted by James I. in 1615, by which the limits of the town are fixed by a radius of half-a mile from an ancient cross in the centre of the town, and which spot is now marked by a stone let into the pavement. The charter establishes the corpo ration by the title of the mayor, aldermen, and commonalty of the town of Penzance, and vests the municipal government of the place in the mayor, aldermen, and 12 assistants. It also aps points a town-clerk, two sergeants-at-mace, and an officer called Le Yeoman. There is also a prim grant of a quay to the mayor and inhabitants by Henry VIII., as tenants of the King, so long as they kept it in repair; a special charter of Charles 11. makes Penzance a coinage town. The mayor, recorder, aldermen, arid assistants, receive no emo luments: formerly an allowance of 40/., afterwards of .501., and lastly of 100/., was made to the mayor for certain expenses, but for some years this has been entirely discontinued. The Eat! of Falmouth is recorder; the office has been in his Lordshp's family for upwards of a century. The charter re quires the recorder to be a roan fit to give couristl in the law ; he cannot appoint a deputy, which is found to be a set ious itic.,nvenience, as the charter, requires the mayor or recorder to be present at the sessions; and in case of the illness of the mayor a sessions cannot be held. It was desirable th;s should be remedied by the recorder being empowered to appoint a deputy. The assistants, from whom the mayor arid aldermen are chosen, are required to be chosen from the most discreet of the inhabitants; they are elected for life by the corporation, and not by the inhabitants. The town-clerk is paid 201. a year, and holds his office during the pleasure of the corporation ; he is solicitor to the corporation, and tray appoint a deputy; his emoluments amount to from 801. to 1004 a year. The two sergeants-at mace are paid 81. a year each. Le Yeoman is head of the police, or chief constable; he is paid 261. a year; there are four sub-constables, who receive no salary. The charter also provides for holding a Court of Recoid, for the recovery of debts not exceeding 30/. This court is held every fort night, and is very useful, and would be more so if its jurisdiction was extended to sums not exceeding 1001. The costs, when judg ment goes by default are about Si.; when Oleic is a trial, 101. or 12/. The Court for the Hundred of Periwith is also held in the town ; the costs of a trial in this court amount to about 20/. Quarter sessions, for the trial of minor offences, are also held in the town. The gaol was built in 1826, at the expense of the inhabitants; the Mayor holds a petty sessions weekly. It would be desirable that a bette. separation was made in the gaol between debtors and criminals. An allowance of 501. a year is made to the Master of the Grammar School, for which the corporation have a right to appoint six scholars; The Corporation of Plymouth report that their 'unds are burdened with a debt of 40,0001. The corporation commissioners having dicovered, during their investigation of the Leicester corpora tion, that they had applied a considerable sum of money from Sir Thomas White's charity to their own use, we are requested by a correspondent, for the amusement of our re.,dt-rs, to give a copy of an order made in the proposal-book of the corporation of the city of Winchester, on the 11th of July, 1795, which shows a similar misapplication of mo neys under the same charity —viz., " Whereas, on an investigation of the coffer accounts, taken some time since, it appears that the corporatio n then owed, on bond, the principal sum of 9001—viz., 'o Mrs. Hillman, of Andover, 5001.; to Aide! man White, 2001.; to Mr. Bassett, of Newport, 2001.; the interest oa which sum amounts annually to 451., and it appcaring to the Chamber ihat the sum of 517/. 18s. 5d., arising from Sir Thomas White's donations, had for a con siderable time laid useless in the coffer, no proper application having been made for the same, the Chamber, in . order to lessen the annual f is !odged in the cotl e r,f or th e sai d 5171 .

Agreed to be proposed to the next Assembly, that the above transaction be ratified and confirmed by the common seal of the said city being affixed to an accountable note for the same; and that upon any future occasion the Chamber be allowed to adopt tie like measure, in order to pay off the remainder of the principal and intere.t due Iron) the said corporation. And whereas the Cham ber have likewise paid off all principal and interest due on the bonds given to Alderman White and Mr. Bassett, by the amount thereof having been advanced a h l y s 0A to l d e be r m ar Ea i proposed rle andby y Alderman the sa m enext Silver. ext Assembly, A greed that bonds be made out and sealed to Alderman Earle and Alderman Ridding, instead of Alderman White, who has been paid off by Alderman Ridding, for 2001. each, and interest at 5 per cent., to bear date the 16th of July instant."—Salisbury Journal. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, OCT. 11. (Before Mr. CONST, and a full Bench of Magistrates.) Music LICENSES.-Mr. Wale, of the well-known Gun Tavern at Pimlico, which commands so fine a view of Buckingham Palace Gardens, applied for a music license. Mr. Wale's petition stated that the 6tin Tavern was capab'e of containing one thou sand persons; that it had extensive gardens, well planted and commodiously laid out; and that he tiad recently been at an expense of 2,000/. in making alterations in the pretei•es for the public accommo dation. Appended to the petition was a recom mendation, signed by forty-nine most respectable persons resident in the neighbourhood, at the head of whom was the Earl of Essex. Mr. ALLEY supported the petition. Mr. 11PWILLIAss said be was opposed to the graning of the application on the ground that the Westminster Magistrates were taken by surprise, .tue notice not having been given of the intended application, Captain FITZGERALD observed that he well knew the premises and the petitioner, and from his high estimation of Mr. Wale's character he voted last year at the Middlesex ,sessions in favour of potting the petitioner's application, which was similar to that now before the Court. At that period it was gene rally rumoured and believed that his nijesty did Lot intend to reside at the new Palace, but now cir cumstances had altered. The Palace was brit g completed for the residence of lia)altyouid it would be a great nuisance to his Majesty and his family if he application were granted, fioin the contiguity of the pretn ses to the Palace. The CHAIRMAN asked Mr. Alley whether he would hazard the refusal of his license lay this Court in preference to renewing his application at the Middlesex Sessions ME. ALLEY would avail himself of the hint so kindly t hiown out by the Chairman, and withdraw his application. THE KING'S CONCERT ROOMS, HANOVER-SQUARE. Mr. ALLEY also applied to the Court on behalf of Mr. Martin, the proprietor of these well-known fashionable concert-rooms, for the renewal of h;s music license. It will be retnemberrd that the Bishop of London thought fi , , a short time back, to interpose to stop the co ncerts o f sa cred niti•ic which were being performed there every Sunday evening. Whether this had any Influence with the Magistrates it would be impossible to say, but they thought fi t to take time to consider. Eventually, however, the application was granted.
