The legitimate Head of the Go• vernment is requited to give such a pledge, ant to take seriously what was evidently not intender scription, it is not our fate to be favoured wi any of Iris communications. The following co►nmunication was received la ".SPF•ENHAMLAND, Nov. 3.—Her MAJEsTY and suite passed through this place at eleven o'clock precisely. They changed horses at Thatcham, three miles distant, where a relay of horses from Windsor awaited her MAJESTY'S arrival, and went on to Hungerford, nine miles from hence, where another relay is posted to go on to the Castle Inn, at Marlborough, at which place the QUEEN Will take refreshment, and then proceed oo to Bath, and probably arrive there about five o'clock in the evening. The assemblage of persons here of every rank and description, from all parts of the country, was immense, and nothing could ex ceed the manlier in which their loyalty and at tachment were manifested on the occasion. Her 51A.TEsTi . was received with th'e. loudest cheers and acclamations, and the only cause for regret was the momentariness of tire enjoyment of so gratifying a scene. Her MAJESTY looked much better than was expected, and bowed compla cently- as she passed along. The Newbury and Dounington troop of Yeomanry Cavalry, through their Commander, ANTHONY BAcot, Esq. had offered their services to escort her MAJESTY from Thatcham to Huegerford, but this offer was po litely declined by a letter from Colottel DEssaow 'to Mr. BACON, in which that ,Gentleman was thanked for the offer, and informed; that as the QuaEN wished to travel in a private manner, she.. was under the necessity of declining the offer of the troops' services. The Princess E LIZABETH alone accompanied the QUEEN in her travelling pot chariot, but the whole suit consisted of five travelling carriages with four horses eaith, deco 'sated With We are happy to learn that all apprehensions 'elf an immediate war with the Mahrattas have completely vanished in - the EaSt. The vigorous measut es pursneciagainst the PEisnwil, have effec tually incapacitated that treachrrons chieftain from doing us further injury ; and HoLicart and . SCINDIAH have positively pledged themselves to assist the Marquis or HASTINGS in crushing the Pindarree power. The letters from Bengal are to so, late a date as the llth of June. Money to any amount can now be had in India at the rate of 6 per cent. interest ; and the Company's bills yield at premium, which tends to add to the p u bli c; eon . itEence ill a state of uninterrupted tranquillity. The new Russiap Tariff, which is daily looked for, is reported to be very favourable to the com merce of this country. Yesterday, at three o'clock, Parliament was pro rogued by Commission, with the usual formalities, till Tuesday, the 16ilr day of December next.— the Commissioners were the Loßn CHANCELLOR, Viscount MELVILta, and Lord ST.HELEN's. None of the other Peers were present. Ur. RICKMAN and the other officers, as usual, represented the House of Commons. The Earl of WasTmotteLAND has a large party of Noblemen oh a shooting party, at his seat at Apetbmpe, Northamptonshire.

The Dowager Duchess of RUTLAND is arrived at Cheveley, front Mr. NoRMAND's seatin Lin colnshire. The Duke and Duchess of ARGYLE, with the Earl and Countess. of MARCH, have been for this week past on a visit to the Hon. Captain PAGET, at his house, Fair Oak Lodge, near Petersfield. The CARLISLE CANAL COMMITTEE have ap pointed WM. CHAPMAN, Esq. 'Civil Engineer, and Mr. Jetor NORMAN, of Kirk Andrews,. to make the survey of the country through which the new Canal is to pass. Our Readers have been long since made ac qyainted tvith Mr. O'Cotition's determination to prosecute Owens and Warring for perjury, At . the present Commission, Bills of Indictment were sent against the former of them to the county, and against the latter to the City Grand Jury. The Bills against Owens have been ignored, hut those against his accomplice have been found.--- , (Dublin Evening Post, Oct. 30.) A Sermon was preached on Sunday se'nnight, at St. Thomas's Church, Portsmouth, by the Hon. and Rev Archdeacon LEGGE, on behalf of teLL's School in that town. The text chosen tvasthe 3d chapter 2d. of Tim. verse 14, 15 : and the Rev.

The Commander in' Chief having . been ple,,is'ed to direct, on the 10th January last, that in case of Soldiers, ovhom Commanduig Officers of Regi ments tnay, from particular circumstances, f . el themselves justified in reconn,n4ing tor dis , charge, at their 0.-" n reque,t, or at the request of their friends, the sum of Twenty Pounds shall be paid by, each, instead of procuring substitutes:the following regulations are to he observed in trans ,. mining, for the Commander in Chief 's consider ation, the' on'this subject, and in re gard to the appropriation of that money in the public accounts, in .ptosuance of the directions of the Secretary at War, viz : I. All applications from Soldiers for their Discharge under this Order, are, in conformity to the General Regulations of the Army, to be made through the Commanding Officers of their respective• Regiments. 2. In transmitting these applications to the Adjutant-Ge neral, frir the Commander-in-Chief's decision, Commanding Officers are to state the age, weight, and services of the Sol dier by whom the application is made, aad the particular grounds upon which they re'. induced to recommend that the request may he complied with :—Fhe Applications from Sol diers in Regiments abroad are of course to he forwarded through the General Otficers Commanding. a. In every case in which the Commander-in-Chief's au thority is given for the Discharge of a Soldier, on the payment of the sum of Twenty Pounds, the Commanding Officer is to report to the Adjutant General the date on which the sum is paid ; to whom it is paid (that is, Regimental Agent or Pay •master), and the date of the discharge of the Soldier, in order that a communication be made to the Secretary at War. 4. No sloney is to be paid, or ivceived, until the autho rity of the Commander-in-Chief shall have been obtained. .i.

So great is the demand for iron, that one ad vance follows another in quick succession about a month since there was an .advance of 203. per ton, and about a week ago another took place.— It is a truly charming sight to witness, on an evening, in the neighbourhood of Dudley, Bil ston, &c. where so much distress and misery Jately prevailed, the immense number of fires from the furnaces, forges, &c. Never did we witness so much activity prevail - thfOfighout the iron trade as at this rime —(Birthingham Herald, Nov. 1.) We have an account of the melancholy acci dent which deprived the service, in India, of the gallant and distinguished major CAMPBELL, of the 9th Regiment of Bombay Native Infantry. The Major, with a party of Officers belonging to the Poonah subsidiary force, were enjoying the plea sure of hunting the wild hog. They started a .samber (a large kind of deer), and while eager in the pursuit over a rugged country, the Major's horse fell, and the Major was so severely hurt that he survived but a few hours. On the body being operred, it was found that the kidneys.were com pletely destroyed. POETRY. *ILIAL 'OR4TITUDE.

Sarcasth, which he performed with idiomatic precision and strong hutuour. COVENT. GAR HEN.—Othello well supported by YOUNG, in The Moor; C. KEMBLE, tU CUSSiO ; AIM Miss O'NEILL, in Desdentona, was very at;. tractive last flight. BOOTH was logo, and was well received. FOR JUN. VENICE PREAERVED. MR. EniTOß,—Being in the constant habit of reading your valuable Journal, I noticed an ar ticle under the head " JAFFI R," in your Paper of Saturday last, at the conclusion of which you say you would be -glad to be faVoured with the observations of any of your Correspondents on the subject. -- With respect to 'the general merits of the Tragedy, I have only to say that in my bumble opinion it is the finest Play that has been written since the days of the Immortal SHAKSPF ARE. I was present at the representation of it on Wednesday last, at Covent-Garden Theatre, and paid great attention to the different characters, and I thou; it that Pierre was the finest drawn character in the I piece ; he p u t m e i n mind of several o f th e Re formers of the present day ; but Belvidera exceeds them all in every particular. I was sorry to see at the latter' end of your ar ticle, and, in fact, in all your critiques on the per formances at Covent-Garden Theatre, a great partiality for the KEMBLE Family. Now lam as great a lover of the KEMBLE Family as any man ; but at the same time there are other Per formers whom I admire equally as well, if not bettor. You say. that the character of Belvidera " received its death-blow when Mrs. SibooNs made her exit from public life." Now I think that i%Jiss O'Nnitut.'s personation of Belvidera is a most finished performance, and fully equal to the Bel videra. .Mrs. Sipports, Arad again, you say that " it would be injustice" nor to add that the per. lormance of Jaffier by Mr. C KEMBLE "is a proof of histrionic skill," &c. ," that perhaps has seldom been equalled and probably never excelled." Now I think it was '' injustice" on your part not to add some remarks on the excellent acting of Me. YOUNG in the character of Pierre, at the time you was writing such an enlogium on Mr. C. KEMBLE'S Jajfier. am induced to 'notice these things the inure on account of your impartial and liberal opinions on other subjects. By inserting this you will oblige a constant Reader, and, , • • A LOVER OF THE DRAMA. *4* We are fully aware of the merit of Mr. YOUNG in Pierre, and of his . genera; excellence as am Actor; but our chief object was to deline ate the character of Jaffier, according to our con ceptions. Besides, with all Mr. YOUNG'S merit in Pierre, he will be the first to acknowledge that he followed the bold and spirited outline of Mr. KEMBLE, who gave an entirely original air to the performance of the part. As to Miss O'NEILL .also, we are among the warmest of her admirers; but cannot agree with our Correspondent as to the equality of her excellence with Mrs. SIDDONS, perhaps altogether the greatest Actress that the world has ever beheld. HOP INTELLIGENCE. WORCESTER, OcT. 30. , —1n our market on Sa turday 76 pockets were weighed the average prices from 181. to 251. though one or two pockets of very superior quality fetched 301. We learn from the Borough that the prices are steady ; there is.-no probability of a reduction, as the growth of the kingdom tvill he, barely sufficient for its consumption. The immense and unpre cedented prices now obtained, have induced some to look for a supply from abroad, and we have heard that it has been intimated to Government that a very large importation of Foreign Hops would take place if the import duty were some what reduced; no reduction, however, can take place without the consent'of Parliament.--Some dealers have already realized immexise sums. LANCASTER. The 'Concerts this week, under the direction of Mr. C. J. ASHLEY, we are happy to say, have been most numeronsly and respecta;,ly atteiwed %V,. have seldom witnessed an equal degree of orient on on the part of an audience so considi rahle 1'4% en the insttumental full pieces, frequently so little re glinted, excileil a strong interest. Winftr's sublime Overture to Zaira was by request repeated List even ing. The accuracy and excellence of the vocal per. formances drew forth the most animated expres- . sions Of general satisfaction. MissFrith discovered a voiceoleonsiderable power anti beauty of tone, the effect of which was increased by the ease awl cor rectneSS of her manner. Mr. GArbett was in fine voice ; and the other G, titlemen of Mt. Ashley's party, particularly the young concerto player, Mas ter Willis, acquitted themselves in a style that we rejoiced to observe so well --appreciated, and so much applauded.--;-Mr. Ashley on the violoncello displayed' that Masterly command of the in strument for Which he is justly celebrated : and the beautiful accompaniment to Handers ". Softly sweet," .was deservedly encorea.—We believe that so dazzling an assembhge of beauty. has seldom, if ever, been witnessed in any audience, and we are gratified to find that the cap, which sat both unbecomingly and uneotrifortably upon our Lancnster Witches, has been at length thrown Off, neVer, We expect; to fit so closely again. DERBY, SUNDAY, Nov. 2. ` CONVICTS FOlt HIGH TREASON. The Chaplain was authorised to communicate this evening to the three unfortunate men, Brand.- ieth, Turner, and Lithium, that they were to suf fer the sentence of the law on Friday next. Some time before this communication was made, George Weighinzah was taken into a room in front of the gaol. This Circunistance furnished Oza the other three matter of melancholy reflection. Brandreth walked stoutly by himself up and down the length Of the yard. Turner and Ludlarn paced slowly across the further end of the yard, and seemed in, earnest discourse, perhaps on the possibility of the Royal mercy being extended to them. Weight• man, on hearing that he was respited till Friday, the 14th of November, became flushed and con siderably agitated. Brandreth was then separated froM his two associates, and informed of his fixed doom. He said nothitig, hut seemed struck with momentary horror. He gradually resumed his ordinary,look anti Manner. It was . then judged proper by the High Sheriff and Mr. Lockitt 'not to Make any communication. on the subject to Turner and Ludlam till to-ntor• tow Morning. Brandeth and Weightman are therefore•confined this night in a cell together, arid Turner and Ludlam in another cell. It is a curions circumstance that Brandreth hap• penedto be a spectator at the execution of Des pard, and well remembers the conduct of that trimitrai on the scaffold. THE LOTTERY. in the last Lottery Contract, BISH (as usual),• sold Capital Prizes exceeding in number en'! amount those sold by any other Office-keeper; and in the short space of the last twenty Months, 131sti has shared and sold, exclUsive of the above, No. 13,553 - a Prize of L. 50,000 18,041 - a Prize of - - 50,000 2;657 - a Prize of - 40,000 9,955 - a Prize of - - 40,009 1,406 - a Prize of - - 30,000 3,125 - a Prize of - - 3 0 ,000 5,832 - a Prize of 30,000 4,544 - a Prize of - - 30,000 Besides minor Capitals of 20,0001., 15,0001. Ste: &c. too numerous for insertion; such success is perfectly unparalleled in the annals of Lotteries, except at Bistes Offices, for he has for many years past stood pre-eminent for the Sale of great Prizes : and as time are Six Prizes of 20,000/. and various other Capitals in the Lottery which begins 7th of this Month, we may confidently look forward to his selling the greater part, if not the whole of diem. The Serpent of the Ocean, which is supposed to he the same as the Kraken of Ponroppidan, is said to have visited the Western Hemisphere,where it appears to have deeply. engaged the attention of the American Naturalists. It is qne..tionable %vim titer at the present moment it would, have excited more than ordinary interest in the people of Lon don, if it had even appeared in the river Thames, -so much is their attention taken up with the draw• itig of the Lottery which will commence Next Friday. A few months ago it was considered a grand Lottery when the Scheme contained three or four Capitals of 20,0001., and then there were 4 Blanks to I Trite, and the Public were charged about 241. for a Ticket,—but in the Lottery which begins Next Friday, there are SIX Prizes of 20,0001, and more 'Priz es th an Blanks, yet the Price of Tickets is nearly 51. less than formerly : • for these self-evident improvements its tha Lot tery System, the thanks of the Public-ire due to Mr. SIYEWRIGHT. ATTEMPT AT A SSMSINATION.—AbOIIf i 0 o'clock on Sunday .night, as a respectable young woman was going along Ailesbury-street, Clerkenwell, man came up, to her, and, without speaking it word, gave her a violent slap on the cheek ; she turned round surprised, and demanded why he struck her, on which he pulled out a long knife, and said, I mean to cut your throat; she gave a loud scream and ran away calling out murder; a man who fortunately happened to be pass ; ink at the time came to her assistance, on which the villain, without speaking, made two or three desperate thrusts with the knife at the man, which he: had the good luck to ward off, and seized the assassin by the wrist, which lie held in spite of his struggling, until assistance came; the fellow was properly secured and lodged im the watch-house. Yesterday he was brought betore the Sitting Magistrates, at Hatton-garden, where the charge was satisfactory proved. • Oa being asked what his motive was to commit so horrid a crime, he said he had no motive ; he was ordered to give 48,honrs notice of bail, and fu the meantime was committed.
