The sinister predictions of out Liberals, are not -verified, and you may expect to hear of several Political suicides. In France CatOs are very rare ; every one likes to be. on the strongest side, and several of our sout-hearted Liberals begin ..to wheel round into the Ministerial ranks. The - Funds continue to rise, and if nothing occurs to shake the public confidence for a moment, we Jnay expect to see them at 100. All efforts to keep them down haVe been unavailing. Syn. CuaTts.--4t must be truly gra tifying to find that this patriotic Baronet, in spite of, all _the contagious venality and licenti ousness, which mark the present period, has main tamed a character for firm and consistent loyalty throughout .his public life. lie has been the ob: ject of factious calumny for his public and private conduct, but he has risen above slander, anti en joys the esteem of the first characters in the Country, as well as of his fellow-citizens. True to his principles, we now see this loyal Veteran take the read in promoting a Public Festival 'hi honour of the accession of his MAJESTY to th e Throne. We may venture to predict t hat with respect to -- : - Opulence, soundness of 'Principles, and general respectability of charac• ter, there has never at any period been an as• s Pnblago, more entitled - to the esteem and confi• deuce orthe country than the meeting of whicl the venerable Baronet, Sir WILLIAM CiiItTIS Will be the Chairman.

A Captain of the civic guard, named Solomon, was shot, as was also a Spaniard, one of the mutineers of the Trinidad transport.

Who is Dr. DitAPElt, who attended theMid d-lesek Meeting ? Did he ever reside in Peck ham, and preach-at the Camden Chapel ?

Is it that this disinterested Patriot has still a hankering for the Receivership of London or Middlesex, in - case of a vacancy ? • QUIZ. FOR THE SUN. Ma. EDITOR-Ignorance generally serves as a counterpoison to the malignity of the human heart. The Times, that Chronicle of disloyalty, in its number of yesterday, gives us an account of the embarkation of some Italians at FalMouth, and charitably asserts that the Castorif-house had received orders not to examine their 'luggage. So The Times does not know that the luggage of travellers is never examined on embarkation. which would be without an object. I have sailed at least a dozen times from . different Falglish ports, and, speak from experience, in which every one who has visited the Continent will confirm me ; there is only Tire Times, content to crow on its own dunghill, that is ignorant of the fact.

ROOK'S NEST.—At the romantically beautiful cottage, at Godstone, in Surrey, a Ball was given on Tuesday night : it is the occasional rosidence of Mr. TURNER, of Berkeley-square. All the fashion and beauty for many miles around were invited and attended. The music did not cease till half-past four o'clock. a FESTIVITIES AT TRIDEGAS, THE SEAT OF Sin CHARLES MoRGAN, BART.--ThiS noble mansion has,, during the Christmas fortnight, been, as usual, open to a scene of the greatest mirth and festivity.. Upwards of 40 persons of distinction have been residing at the house throughout the whole time, and near 200 sat down in the serv ants'-hall every day ; dancing was kept up every evening till a late hour with great spirit. Ow ing to the severity of . the weather, the company were again disappointed of their annual races on Twelfth Day ; that day falling on Saturday, it was kept on Friday, on which day the neighbouring Gentry were invited to a splen did dinner, to which upwards of seventy sat down. The festivities were concluded by an elegant fancy ball in the evening. The prin cipal dresses were as follows :—Lord Rodney, with many other military gentlemen, wore their uniforms ; Lady Rodney was splendidly attir ed as a Turkish Princess; Mrs. Milman, as a Spanish lady of quality ; Mrs. W. Bennet, a Sultana ; Miss Morgan looked beautiful as a Bohemian peasant ; Miss Walker, as a Cala brian Princess ; the other Ladies were prettily attired as peasants, &c.; Mr. Octavius Morgan, as a Turkish Prince, a costly and superb costume ; Colonel Milman admirably supported both the dress and character of an old English Courtier ; the other erentlemen wore various dresses. At two o'clock, the supper-rooms were thrown open, where the tables were laid out with great taste, and every delicacy that could be procured, not omitting an immense twelfth-cake, which had a beautiful appearance beneath a canopy of flowers and variegated lamps. After supper dancing was resumed with great spirit till after five o'clock. The consumption during the - Christmas week was enormous ; 7521 lbs. of butcher's meat were consurn6d, besides an immense quantity of poultry, game, &c., 380 gallons of ale, 54 tons of coals, and GO bushels of wheat. The scarlet fever attacked the three sons of the Prince of CASTELCICALA, the late Ambassa dor from Naples to our Court, but now Ambassa dor to the Court of France. The eldest was considered out of danger, but the second had died . ; and doubts were entertained of the reco very of the youngest. It is with much regret we state, that letters were last week received , from Rome, announcing that Sir THomls GAGE, Bart, was so seriously indisposed as to leave but faint hopes of his reco very, and that our - former County. Member, Sir 'I% C. BUNBURY, Bart. is also in a very dangerous state of health in London.—(Bury Paper.)

THE DEAN or ST. PATIIICK.—ThiS" very, re spectable and Reverend Gentleman was deprived of his gown a few days since, in the following manner :—On Sunday morning, just before ser vice, a message was brought to the Dean from the ReV. Mr. C , stating, how much . ohliged,he would be if 'the Dean would accommodate' him with the loan of a gown, as he was unexpectedly called upon to preach.—'The Dean, with his usual kindness, instantly had his gown given to the mes senger. A few days elapsed; when the Dean met his friend, the Rev. Mr. C., and told him how happy he was to' be of - service to him on the Sun day.—Mr. C. said he was unconscious of being under any obligation to the Dean on that day ; and the fraud was discovered.—( Dahlia Piper.) PREVENTION OF BANK OF ENGLAND FOR GERIES4.—It was imagined, not 'only b'y the Di rectors of the Bank of England, but also by the pAblic, that the new. notes would have been forthcoming at the last dividend ; we understand that the delay' has arisen from a further mechanical improvement being sug gested and agreed upon, in having the numbers and dates added in time progress through this won derful invention. There are 2 millions of notes in number, and of different amounts, already primed ; with the exception alluded 16, and it is now confi dently asserted that they cannot be completed till the April diVidends.

THE EXETER NEW Tit EATitt.—We under stand, notwithstanding this new building was erected in the short - space of three months, that it has been built in - the - most correct manlier. It is beautifully ornamented, and athongst other embellishmentS .the Nine Muses appear very conspicuous. There is another Theatre, which, though not new, - was never so adorned, as it will be next Tuesday, we mean, Cooper's Hall, where the State Lottery will be drawn ; and though the - Nine Muses are' not in attendance, there will be nine 21,000/.
