GO c. ; Spanish of 1820, 88 f. ; and the Bonds of 1821, 55 f. We have inserted from The Times an alleged letter from the King of PORTUGAL to his son the Prince Regent of the BRAziLs, and an extract rrem what is said to have been the reply of the Prince. If these documents are genuine, of 'Which we have strong suspicions, the language of the Prince indicates a state of mind which cannot be deemed otherwise than frantic. "Early yesterday morning, we were alarmed by the accounts of a party of Negroes, and among them a few Mulatoes, having butchered during the night several families on the Heights of Carbeick. Pruden* -easures were taken, and with such secresy, that it became unnecessary to sound the alarm b ell, and the result has been such, that all apprehensions of future atrocities have subsided. Four or five persons, mostly t/ " . " and all esteemed for their humane characters, have ',_irked in pieces; several others have escaped with severe wounds. Four or five have been taken, and it is hoped the whole of the other miscreants engaged in the most diabolical act will soon be apprehended." From the American Papers received yesterday.] Extract of a letter from New Orleans, Oct. 16. The health of the city I am sorry to say s no better, but if any thing, is' worse than it at the commencement—already one half of unacclimated part of the population have died, the deaths are still at the rate of 25 to 30 a ----We experienced a great change in the ither last week, had a slight frost on the ;ht of the 10th inst. which it was exepected Quid have favoured us, but' it having since !et in warm, and strangers daily coming into` the city, has given new life to the d isease.—Poor Winter, (W. and M'Call) was b uried on the 11th, after 4 days sickness—the death of Mrs. W., I believe, I mentioned at the t une : they both died of the black vomit. Miss S ennett, sister of Bennett, late Morgan, Dorsey, Co., was buried on the 12th. Mrs. Morgan 'led lately across the lake, of a sickness she con acted before leaving the city. The deaths here 'III rage quite 30 a-day since the Ist ultimo, f• those that have been reported ; and it is many more have died." terday published an important extract 45 f a letter, dated Canton, 10th May, which had 4 PPeared in a New York Paper. The follow ing is an additional extract from the same letter: there 'is a great deal of truth in the remark on the effects of foreign commerce ) as respects more countries than China : ~" It must be evident to the Government of this country, at since the opening of their ports to strangers, luxury, vice, l '"uvalitv, and, in general, poverty, have followed in their • Tf:2 most mistaken idea m the world is generally enter '" of comm e rce to this country, as greatly enriching this rile, and impoverishing others. The balance of trade is but Pie in their favour in amount, and the importation of manu ktured goods, raw cotton and opium, to the amount of twelve of fifteen millions annually, and daily increasing, strikes a blow at ..the very essence o f th eir Government. This state of things reared by the Mandarins, and what measures they may adopt '" avoid it, is yet in the womb of futurity—but I think this, I t l aY venture to assure you, that our tr o übles in China have commenced, and you may hear of important matters be elong.,, By the last letters from India it appears that ?ere had been a considerable advance on the fr om of ships' to Europe—in several instances r eal St. to 101. per ton. Speculations, to a very large extent, are now c arrying on in the purchase of saltpetre, and in "val stores, from the expectation that a war Must speedily take place. :the letters from St. Petersburgh to the 9th ki lt., received yesterday, notice a rise in the price " hemp, under the impression that war was in evitable, and consequently the demand for this ar ticle increased. Letters from Paris continue to state that the P r evalent impression there was, that hostilities W ould shortly commence ; and, in support of this °Pillion, they mention that a considerable num ber of horses had been suddenly sent off, to com plete the regiments of cavalry in the Army of bservatin, and that new levies of men were a ctually in progress. Letters from Madrid to the 20th ult. mention a e certain a change in the Ministers of War and ti l 'e Interior, and add that a removal is con& Q eatly expected in other departments of the 'tate.. Among the new appointments recently C onferred, it is said that all the conductors of The Espectador had been distinguished by Mini tlterial patronage. A. M. TAVAL was talked of 48 Charge d'Affaires at London, and M. GAseAn 4 GuILERA, late of the Royal Guards, and bro ther of the Marquis de CERALVO, had been ap- Vilted Secretary to the Spanish Embassy at . ienna. Intelligence from . Guayaquil•to the Sth Sept., r eceived at New York by way of Panama, states t hat 4,000 troops ; dispatched by Gen. 13oLivAa j°4l Guayaquil, at the solicitation of SAN MAR 411f, had arrived at Callao, to aid in the expedi tlou that was about to sail against the Royalist , 'Poniards in Upper Peru. The result of the recent Election at Cambridge els, we understand, given great &atisfaction in a gh quarter. It likewise appears, that through °tit the Election Mr. BANKES was universally 311 PPorted by the Under-graduates, who at the t i tose of the poll expressed, most unequivocally, t b le gratification they felt on the success of his Election. The Duke of BEDFORD'S health, we are happy 3 1 0 hear, is much improved by his excursion to hstings, Sussex.

THE THEATRES. DRUELYZANE.—A numerous audience last night manifested their taste in attending The School for Scandal, in which .Mr. ELLISTON gave a very ipirited personation of Charles Surface, and in which the other cliaracters were well supported. The new face of Old and . Young was brought for ward again, and Miss CLARA FrSIIER again delighted the audience with admirable truth, humour, and feeling, in her four assumed cha racters. COVENT-GARDEN.--The very great merits of Mr. C. KEMBLE, and Miss F. H. KELLY, in Romeo and Juliet, have obviously made a strong impression on the public, as may fairly be in ferred from the. attraction which attends them, and indeed perhaps in no slight degree from the grandeur and beauty with which the Tragedy is brought forward.—We ought to notice the merit Of MEADOWS in the simple part of the poor _Apothecary, in order to express our surprise that with so much merit he should, last night, have suffered some unjust disapprobation from a few illiberal spirits in the Gallery.

Thoma s At kinson, to the Rectory of St. Edmund the Martyr, Exeter. Ma. SLATER.—Margate has suffered a great loss in the death of this, gentleman. He was in the 85th year of his age, and the melancholy event took place on Sunday last, to the deep re gret of the inhabitants in general. In his medical capacity he was as ready to attend on the poor, from whom no requital could be expected, as on those from whom he might look for a liberal re compence. The acquisition of a large fortune by inheritance made no difference in his character. lie was still as prompt as ever to exercise the duties of humanity to the poorest victim of disease. His professional talents were highly respected, and his long experience and judgment excited hope and confidence in all who received his advice. — In every relation of life as husband, father, and friend, he was kind and affectionate, and has left a memorial of his worth in the hearts of all who had for a long period witnessed his worth, and enjoyed his society. Commodore Sir EDWARD OWEN has quitted his residence at Deal, and proceeded to take the command of the squadron to which he has been appointed.—ltumour assigns its object to be to take possession of Cuba, which Island it is said, has been ceded by Spain to Great Britain, as the price of its neutrality in the impending contest. Another surmise fixes its destination as a squadron of observation in the Mediterranean. It is pro bable, however, that another squadron will be appointed for the latter object.—(Kent Gazette.) • We have heard it mentioned that there is a stir making in the Mercantile World respesting the excessive rates of Postage, which in their multiplied transaction bear heavy upon them ; really when the gain of the Merchants is so circumsribed, it is hard that they should be fur ther severely taxed by disproportionate rates of Postage, which in many cases prohibit corres pondence, except upon urgent occasions. The subject we understand, is in judicious and tem perate hands, and for the present, we shall forbear entering further on the matter.—(Cork Mercury.) Mr. LOCKER, the Secretary to Greenwich Hopital, has addressed a very able letter to the Directors, on the condition of the tenants of the northern estates of the Hospital. He gives it as his opinion that " the Hospital's estates, in general, are considerably over-rented ; and that it will be for the interest of the Institution to reduce them without further delay."—The following are the principal modes of relief which are recommended by the Secretary :-Ist. To allow the tenants to resign their respective leases, and advertise the farms for new biddings; 2d. To release them from their present engagements, and allow them to hold their farms as yearly tenants ; 3d. To fix a permanent standard of abatement, according to the average price of corn ; 4th. To retur❑ to all tenants alike an equal per centage for the half-year ; sth. To make an abatement upon each farm separately, for the remainder of the lease ; 6th. To reduce the rent for a certain period. In addition to which Mr. L. recom mends an indulgence of time at the present audit to those tenants most distressed, lest they should be driven to the necessity of disposing of their produce at so great a loss as they must be sub ject to by being forced in the market.

IMPROVEMENTS ON LORD GROSVENOR'S ESTATE.— After many years passed in consultations, his Lordship's Ar. chitect has hit upon a plan for embellishing all that tract of land opposite to Belgrade Terrace, Chelsea. The original plan was to remove the water-works and erect a uniform pile of houses next the King's road. This idea has been abandoned for a serirs of double cottages, completely in the Italian style. They will' have gardens in the front and rear. By this arrangement the piece of water will disappear. and the vacuum be filled up. The admirable new system of draining lands will be put into operation in the spring; and thus will be removed one of the most offensive objects in existence, namely, the ditch which ex tends from the wooden bridge nearly to Pimlico. The Duke of Rutland is entertaining a select party of friends at his seat, Belvoir Castle, The Marchioness of Salisbury has a distinguished party at her seat, Hatfield. DUBLIN, DEC. 3.—The Lord Lieutenant returned from Woodstock to the Phoenix Park yesterday. His Excellency will entertain a select party of the Nobility at dinner this day. Among the personages invited are—His Grace the Duke of Leinster, the Marquis and Marchioness of Downshire, the Earl and Countess of Meath, Lord and Lady Combermere, the Lord Chief Justice and Mrs. Bushe, the Attorney-General and Miss Plunkett, Secretary and Mrs. Goulburn, Mr. and Lady Anne Gregory, Dowager Lady Ross, Mr. and Mrs. Bowles, &c. &c. We understand that the fine mansion, formerly occupied by Lord Northland, and lately the residence of Dr. Adrien, in Dawson-street, Dublin, has been taken by the Freemasons' for a Hall, and that it will be thrown open for the reception of Members in a few days. ..1 -:, - ' it • ' a , ) 0 , „,., . d ...`.- - j •I I*6 , i ‘,..) t " .-' ._,,... --• •;,,, <‘•-• • ..., t , - • r; a : ' - P * , • 7l e o i ' ' 4 l' • .. -1:‘ .../ ..":: .11 1 ' ' 4. - ' • 4/ (--,.. 4 4 ‘ ..„ • 411 .

In a fair Lady's heart once a secret was lurking ; It toss'd and it tumbled ; it long'd to get out ; The LIPS half betrayed it by smiling and smirking, And TONGUE was impatient to blab it, no doubt: But HONOUR looked gruff on the subject, and gave it In charge to the TEETH (so enchantingly white), Should tNe captive attempt an elopement, to save it, By giving the Lirs an admonishing bite. 'pis said, and 'twas settled : SIR HONOUR departed; TONGUE quivered and trembled, but dare not rebel; When right to its tip SECRET suddenly started, And half, in a whisper escaped from his cell : Quoth the TEETH, in a pet, "We'll be even for this," And they bit very smartly above and beneath But the Lirs in that instant were bribed with a hiss, And they popp'd out the secret "in spite of their teeth." TO A HUSBAND. Oh ! were I in my dying hour, And thou beside me mourning stood, Still should I own affection's power, And scarcely wish a dearer good. Though heaven were open to my eyes, Anil bleAs supreme awaited me, My struggling soul would grieve to rise, Deeming earth heaven, while blest with thee. And, oh ! if in the spheres above Souls have one spark of earthly feeling, Still would my thoughts be with thee,love! And from celestial regions stealing. For one short hour I'd earthward stray, To snatch thee from a world of care; Point to my.home the safest way; Nor call it heaven till thou wert there ! KaleidoseOpe. HUNTING INTELLIGENCE.

Rome will exhibit• a scene of more gaiety and splendour during the winter than it has known for many years. The CAVENDISIIES, the DEVON SHIRES, the CLIFFORDS, the CAItNAItVONS, the KINNAIRDS, together with an additional long list of English Nobility, and wealthy families,are now assembling there. The Duchess of DEvogsmaE has arranged a series of entertainments upon a scale commensurate with the magnificence of the " Eternal City" during the brightest period of her history. There are now more than 500 English families in Rome, and the number is likely to be nearly doubled by Christmas. The health of the POPE is much improved, and hope is very sanguine that his Holiness may be enabled to per form the requisite duties in the forthcoming ceremonies of the Catholic Church. Cardinal GONSALVT, who for a long time has been in disposed, is also better. Nothing can exceed the kindness and the condescension of the POPE and his Prime Minister towards all the English visitors. IRELAND. REVISION OF THE IRISH MAGISTRACY. We understand that Writs of Supersedeas have been issued to a vast number of Gentlemen of the first rank and consequence, who have been deprived of their Commissions as Maaistrates.— This measure is supposed to be introductory to the new Constabulary Bill. The following are already known : SUPERSEDED. COUNTY ARMAGII-1 Earl, 2 Barons, 2 Honourable and Reverend Gentlemen, 1 Honourable Gentleman, 1, Brigadier- General, 26 Esquires. CARLOW-1 Knignt, 12 Esquires. CAVAN-1 Knight, 2 Major-Generals, 1 Lieutenant-Colonel, 18 Esquires. CLARE-3 Major-Generals, and all the other Military Gentlemen ,lately put into the Commission ; 2 Knights, 14 Esquires. DONEGAL-1 Honourable Gentleman, 1 Major-General, 15 Esquires. Dowx-1 Honourable Gentleman, 1 Major-General, 1 Bri gadier-General, 1 Baronet, 37 Esquires. FERMANAGH-1 Major-General, 5 Esquires. GALWAY-1 Major-General, 1 Knight, 1 Honourable Mr. —, 1 Reverend Mr. ----, 3 Lieutenant Colonels, 20 Esqrs. KILDAREI Major-General, 12 Esquires, The arrangements for the other counties are not as yet known. —( Dublin Patriot. ) In nine Counties, nearly two hundred Noblemen and Gentle men have been deprived of their Commissions. This is the greatest alteration which has been made in the Government of this country. It is an alteration, every candid man will admit, rendered absolutely necessary by the wants and wishes of the country. We hope that the new principle now introduced into the local Government of Ireland will justify the expectations which were formed of it; and from what has already occurred, we are disposed to infer that it will.. • STATE OF THE COUNTRY. The country continues to enjoy tranquillity. The incen. diaries and fabricatcps of news in the county of Cork have been busy in tales of horror, which, it appears have not the slightest foundation. Limerick is quiet, and so is Tipperary. In some other counties Petty Sessions are held every week ; and every thing, thanks to the vigour and prudence of the Authorities, promises a continuance of the present calm throughout the winter.—( Dublin Evening Post.) On Sunday night, Lieutenant Swayne, on the half-pay establishment, being at supper, at the Bush Inn, at Midleton, had some altercation with M'Carthy, the owner of the house, who, in fit of ungovernable passion, went from the apartment in which they both were, procured a gun or pistol, with which he fired at Mr. Swayne, and wounded him, it is feared mortally, in the groin. Lieutenant Swayne was alive at nine o'clock yesterday morning, though in extreme danger. M'Carthy has, we understand, absconded.—( Cork Mercantile Chronicle. ) THE CASE OF CARRINGTON, THE IMPOSTOR. It is impossible to trace to what extent this fellow has carried his impositions, but it is evident his opera tions were successful, and that byhis deceptions and heart-rend ing tales, he has obtained a very considerable sum of money from almost the whole of the Nobility in the kingdom. His ap plications were even extended to branches of the Royal Family. Vllien the officers went to arrest him, they found him alone in a miserable apartment, at a house in George-street, Maze-pond, Southwark. On their making him acquainted with the tenour of their visit, he rose from his chair in great agitation, and endea voured to approach a small drawer, doubtless with the intention of demolishing the papers which it contained, but he was foiled by being secured. The officers'seized the drawer, which was filled with papers, which turned out to be letters of correspond ence from the Nobility, Members of Parliament, Clergy, and Gentry, resident in all parts of the kingdom, to the impostor, some of whom designated him Colonel Carrington, others Lieut.-Colonel, &c. &c. For the curiosity of our readers we have given the names of the humane persons from whom they were received, and their purport : From Sir George Crewe, at his seat, Calke-abbey, Derby shire, enclosing 301., and expressing his regret at not being able to remit more ; from Messrs. Drummond's, the bankers, en. closing 5/., addressed to Col. Carrington, 9, Magdalen-circus, Borough : from Cox and Greenwood's, enclosing 2/. ; from his Grace the Duke of Portland, rejecting his application ; from his Grace the Duke of Rutland, to the same tenour; from the Bishop of Norwich, to the wile effect; from Sir George Crew, at Paris, stating that he had forwarded a box of clothes for the children ; from Admiral Hoare, PlymOuth-dock, refusing to re lieve him ; from the Earl of St. Germains, with 2/. ; froth Adml. Gambier, with 31. ; from Sir W. Keppell, with 51.; from Sir Geo. Lee, with 5/. ; from Admiral Sir T. Bertie, with 10/. ; from Sir J. aumarez, with 10/. ; from Mr. Smith, Navy Pay Office, with 1/. ; from his Grace the Duke of Buckingham, re fusing his application ; from the Duke of Devonshire, with 10/. ; from his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, rejecting his solicitation ; from the Duke of Richmond, to the same effect ; from Miss Katherine Fry, the daughter of the benevolent lady of that name, rejecting his petition. In addition to the above letters, were fOund, a vast num ber of envelops, bearing the names of the Duke of St. Al ban's, Lord Amherst, Lord Alvanley, Lord Calthorpe, Sir Roger Gresley, Bart., J. P. Beresford, Esq., Mr. 'Wilber force, Mr. Canning, r. T. F. Buxton, J. Fleming, Esq., M. P., Hon. G. H. Cavendish ; Bishop of Chichester; Earl Spencer, Mr. Taylor, M. P., and many others, who have been duped by the prisoner's artifice. Amongst the above were several letters from his wife at Portsmouth, wherein she reproaches him for not allowing her more than 30s. per week for the maintenance of herself and children. A book was also found, containing several written texts from Scripture, treating on charity, evidently extracted by him for the purpose of intro ducing them into his letters for the better accomplishment of his object. It is conjectured that within the last twelve , months this fel low has obtained between 4001. and 5001. from the benevolent, and it is also believed that' his family lives in Portsmouth, to all appearance in a state of abject misery ; but as it appears by his wife's letters that she was receiving a weekly allowance of 305., their miserable condition without doubt is merely assumed, for the wicked purpose of imposition, by which the compasSion of the humane is excited. POPE.-During Mr. POPE'S last illness, a squabble happened in his chamber between his two physicians, Dr. Burton and Dr. Thompson. The first accused the latter of having hastened the poet's death by‘the violence of the medicine he had prescribed ; which charge Dr. Thompson as promptly retorted. Pope, vexed and irritated at finding to what hands he had intrusted his life, at length silenced the medical antagonists, by saying, " Gentlemen, I can only learn, by your dissension, that 1 am in a very dangerous way ; therefore, all I have now to ask is, that the epigram I am going to dictate may be added, after my death, to the next edition of the Dun ciad, by way of postscript : " Dunces, rejoice ! forgive all censures past, The greatest dunce has killed your foe at last.' " Some, however, attribute these lines to Dr. Bur ton, stating that he aimed them at Dr. Thompson, by whom they were thus answered ; " As physic and verse both to Phoebus belong, So the college oft dabbles in potion and song ; Hence Burton, resolv'd his eineties shall hit, When his recipes fail, gives a puke with his wit." Major V. aDWARD, Inspector-General of Prisons, is e.ptxted in town this evening upon a tour of general inspection ; we are confident he will find all right here ; if he does find any thing to censure, it will only arise from the defective state of the prisons.—The activity and vigilence of Messrs. Walsh and Murphy defy all observations.—( Cork Mercury.) December 6, 1822.—N0. 16,522, Drawn this day a Grand Money Prize of ; 220,000 ! was Sold in Shares by CARaoLr., Stock-Broker, 19, Cornhill, and 26, Oxford-street.—Undrawn Tickets and Shares are Selling for the Last Day but One, I7th December, when the Great Capi tals now in the Wheel may be all drawn, includ ing 2 of 20,0001., 2 of 10,0001., 2 of 5,0001., ANALOGY.—A little girl happening to hear her mother speak of going into half mourning, said— " Why are we going into half mourning, Mamma, are any of our relations half dead 2 " THE ARMY. The following regulations respecting the cloth ing for the Army have just been issued from the Horse Guards, and are as follow : That the parade dress of all regiments of Infantry is to con sist of white overalls for the summer season, and gray for tile winter, in lieu of breeches and gaiters ; and on particular 040- lions, the full dress to consist of white breeches and leggings, with a black strap below the knee.—Officers of the Light Cora pany to wear the horse-hair plume in the chace• for general ler:: vice, and the plume in cog. for full dresi. An Order has been sent to the Commanding Officers of Yeo manry Cavalry, that in future the number of days for training in the year are to be extended from fourteen to 28 days. The time to be divided as follows ;—Eight days' permanent duty, eight field days during the season, and twelve drills. The re giment to be inspected at least once during the season by the Inspecting Officer of the district.

Major-General flardyman has seldom derived greater satis faction from any inspection of European troops than he has re. ceived in the contse of his inspection of his Majesty's 11th Light Dragoons, under the temporary command of Major and that of the 14th Foot, under the command of Lieu olonel Tidy ;it appearing that only two corporal punishments had been inflicted in the former Regiment, and three in the latter, during the last seven months, and without the existence of one single complaint or grievance in either of them, both maintaining the highest state of discipline and regu larity in quarters. Such regiments are, no doubt, beyond com mon praise, and far above that of the Major-General ; for be haviour so exemplary in soldiers is more rare than perfection in field movements, and when both are conspicuous, as in the 11th Light Dragoons, and the 14th Regiment of Foot, they may both be fairly traced to the system of laudable forbearance in Officers like Colonels Watson and Sleigh, and Lieut.-Colonel Tiddy, long accustomed to command and know the just value of British Troops, when employed in real service. NEW SOUTH WALES. Sydney, March 3, 1822. (GENERAL ORDERS.) The Commander of the Forms has to express the high grat'- fication and approbation of the very clean, uniform, and sol dier-like appearance of the 48th Regiment of Foot, at the in spection of that corps this day in Hyde Park. The different movements, formations,•and changes of position, were well and accurately executed. The advance in line was admirable, and the firings were close, regular, and well kept up. The Commander of the Forces cannot too highly commend the zeal and pleasing assiduity of Colonel Erskine, C.B. in sus taining the discipline of the fine corps that has the good fortune to be commanded by him. Major-General Macquarie accord ingly requests that he will accept for 'himself, and convey to the Officers and Soldiers under his command, the best congra tulations for their steady discipline in the field, and orderly conduct in their quarters. The Major-General will, to-morrow, at Eleven o'clock in the Forenoon, inspect the books of the 48th Regiment of Foot, at the Officers' mess-room, and will afterwards proceed to inspect the Barracks and Hospitals of that corps. By Command of his Excellency the Commander of the Forces, (Signed) H. C. ANTILL, Major of Brigade. MERCANTILE SHIPPING. DEAL, DEC. 6.—Wind N.W.—We had a dreadful gale of wind last night from W.S.W. till 2 A. Si. when it got more moderate, during which the Betsey, Frith, from Tobago, drove considerably, with two anchors down, which obliged them to cut away her mainmast ; Eliza Ann, Southkaman, lost an anchor and 'cable. Put back the Beaufort, the Jibson, anti Venus, with loss of anchor and cable; Honduras Packet, Jack Tar, Amora and Resource, all well ; the Alexander lost her main-yard ; several more put back—particulars unknown. FALMOUTH, DEC. s.—Wind S.W.—Arrived from London the Vine, for Trinidad ; Joseph, for Oporto ; Union, for -St. Michael's ; and Princess Elizabeth packet, for St. Thomas's : sailed the sth of November. -- PLYMOUTH, DEC. s.—Wind S.W.--Arrived the Hebe, Bright, from Sevelle, and Indiana from Bremen. PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 6.—Wind W.—Arrived from the Downs the Waterloo, for Jamaica, and Eden, for Demerara. It blew a tremendous gale of wind last night from S.W. The whole of the outward-bound rode in safety except the illirables, Rutherford, which parted cable and came into harbour; the William Mindy and Sunderland, drove on the spit and sunk— crew. saved ; Acorn, Rummer, and Sunderland, drove on the Horse Sand, but got off, and got into harbour very leaky, with loss of sails and anchor and cable. The Thomas and Ellice, Hutcheson, from Sunderland, is on shore on Landowu Bay. TIGHT LACING.—It has long been a matter of regret with persons of good sense and good taste, that many of the females of this country injure their health and real beauty of form by the absurd practice of wearing tight stays. The fol lowing seems now to have spread to the men—if indeed such blockheads merit that appellation. It is a fact that an exquisite fainted away yester day in Bond-street, and was assisted into a shop where he was some time before he recovered.— Medical aid was sent for, when it was ascertained that his stays were too tight.
