This place continues very full ; there is a flatter-
ing prospet of its remaining so until the end of Oc-
tober. We have had a great change in our com-
pany, but the departdres have been amply made up
by the arrivals : not a day passes but brings us some
nobie or fashionable family ; among wham are, the
Earl and Countess of Tankerville, Viscount and Vis-
countess Sidmouth, the Countess of Buckingham,
Ladies J. Sinclair, C. Herbert, Earl and Countess
Ilenmare, Lord Coleraine ; Messrs. Caulfield' Wig-
gin, Morris, Nay, Barns, Murray, lane, Dr. He.
birders. Pitt, Read, Minet, Greville, Glover, Mor-
ris, Miles, Hammond, Lieut.-Colonel Sharpe,
Hensley, Lambert, De La Croix, Banks, kc. kc.
Our 'theatre has commenced with great success,
Mrs. Raker has added several good Performers to
her company, whose attrat9ions command good
houses. She intends to stay with us this year until
November, and t!...sre is no doubt will have a very
successful season.
The fashionable ride is now to the various Hap-
gardens in the neighbourhood, and many a fair lady
dyes her finger with the bitter gold, that she may
truly say she has been a hop-picker.
The Harvest is completely gathered, and in the
finest order. The late rains have covered the mea-
dows with grass, and butter of course is extremely
good and cheap.
Oar Sportsmen return every day with their bags
new filled with birds, and 'tis no uncommon thing
for a young one to bring home two or three brace.
Indeed every kind of game is extremely plentiful,
and the pheasants rise from every hedge that a
walker chance" to pass.

It/IGLET, Sarr. e.
Yesterday (Sunday) this magnificent place exhi-
bited the most delightftil scene. In order that th's
day of rest should contribute to the happiness of the
surrouading country, the Noble Proprietor ordered
that the gates of the Park should he opened, and free
admission given to every description of persons.
His Lordship had provided a military band, which
played in front of the colonnade, but it needed not
this attraCtion to invite the multitude, which ap-
proached from every entrance, and which had a pe-
culiarly beautiful arid. Aboor four o'clock, the
concourse of pecple was immense. NV hen the Prince.

scribe the joy that pervaded every mosotenance
would be impossible. This happy scene lasted
until half-past fiv'e o'clock, during which one could
sally discover the great anxiety to approach their
Prince, always observing the utmost respeft. At
times one fc4t as if the press to gain a nearer view
of their Royal Highnesses would shake' the very
foundation of the edifice. Their Royal 1-lighnesses
seemed remarkably cheerful, aria ple;cl with the
re diffent grouper, and encouraged, by tie conde-
mending and amiable manners, feelings which were
sure to fill the bosom of every speCtator. The band
continued to play all the evening. and I believe it

A grand match of Single:stick was played yes-
terday, at this place. The candidates were from
Somerset, Wiltshire, and Hants. The first prize
was a gold hat and 20 guineas. It was won by one
Burn, of Somersetshire, who displayedmuch sci-
ence, strength, and amivity. The second prize, a
silver laced hat and 10 guineas, was won by Slyne,
of Wiltshire. Among the performers were Barn
(vigor) and Wall, of Somersetshire, both celebrated
for breaking heads ;• a Mr. Somerset, Slyne (the
vigor), and Ellis, of Wiltshire. all equally famed in
these parts for their skill in this capitol art. Three
good players of Hants were much noticed. viz.
damgni, Singleton, and Gamble. Mr. Cobbet, who
has a place in the peighbourhood, attended, but his
fame for breaking Priscian's head with a was
so well established, no man would encounter him
with a stick.
The clay was remarkably fine, and the business
exh'thited much excellent play. Not fewer than 500
pe.soni wire present. 'The number of carriages
was considerable. We noticed in the list, that of
the Marquis of Laisdown. The people of Hants

STOCK-EXCHANGE FRAUD.
St •ISSION.HOUSIS.
COMMITMENT OF MR. DANIELS.
At an early hoUr yesterday morning, it was ma-
de:lood in the city that this gentleman had arrived
in town, in custody. Many persons, in consequence,
attended at the LORD M•voa's Office, and the
greatest anxiety prevailed there for some time. At
one o'clock, the LORD MA voR took his seat in the
public room, and in about half an hour after, the
bar was ordered to, be cleared, and Yoseph Edhin
Daniels was introduced there, in custody of Alyea,
who apprehended him, and some of the City Offi-
cers. The Lord Mayor first addressed the Prisoner
in the following words:
"Mr. Daniels, you have only arrived in town this
day, whop; you have not had an opportunity to
consult with your friends, I would, therefore, be
glad to know, whether you would wish to see any of
them before your examination ?"
Prisoner—" Certainly, my Lord, 1 have not had
an opportunity of consulting ray friends, and there
is nothing I would wish for sp much."
The LOAD MAYOR then, Ater some conversation
with the gentlemen around him, said, " It is very
proper, and very natural, Mr. Daniels, that you
should wish to see your friend*. and consult with
them ; and I therefore wish to know from you when
you would be prepared. so that you may be again
brought up?"—Prisoner—As soon as your Lord-
ship pleases.
Q. Would you to-morrow, or the day after ?-e.
A. Any day, my Lord; it is quite indifferent to
me.
Q. Have you had any communication with your
friends lately, so that you might be prepared sooner
for your examination ?—A. I have not.
Mr. G EDSON, the Attorney for the prosecution,
here observed, that be understood Mr. Daniels had
already written to some of his friends.—Prisoner—
I have written, but have received nu answer.
Again examined by the LOAD MAYOR.
Q. Do you know whether your friends are in
town ?---A. I cannot tell.
Q. When did you write to them ?---A. Last
night, from Barnet. I wrote to Mr. Elliston, and
to Mr. Abraham Goldsmid, but I have not received
any answer fromlthem.
Q. Are those the friends you would wish to SC2
previously to your examination ? -4. Yes, my
Lord. •
The LORD MAYOR then asked, if it cculd be as-
certained whether these gentlemen were in tie.vn or
not, and was answered by two or three gentlemen
present, that they were. •
Mr. Montefiore, the hock Broker who transaled
the business, was tired sworn on the Old Testansent,
being a Jew, and examined by one of the Lord
Mayor's principal Officers.
Q. Do you know the P:lsoner at the bar f—A. I
do.
Q. Is he the same person mentioned iq the war-
rant ?—A. He is.
The Loan MAY OR again addressed the Prisoner,
and said—Are you certain, Mr. Daniels, that, you
will be prepared to-morrow to undergo your exa-
mination ?—A. I trust I shell, my Lord ; you are
the best judge. I don't know whether my friends
arc in :OWIR or not.
To this, the LORD MAYOR, after a short conversa-
tion with some of the gentlemen near him, replied
—Your friends are in town, Sir, you will therefore
Ilavesen opportunity of consulting deem this night,
16 that you may be brought up again to-morrow at
ten o'clock.— l'he Prisoner bowed. repeating— At
ten, my Lord.
Mr. Daniels remained at the bar for a short time
after this, while the warrant for his commitment
Was preparing, and called liivett, the officer, over
to him. After they had interchanged a few words
iq private, Mr. Daniels addreaed the LORD
M A VO R. and said :
My Lord, with your permission, I should wish
to remain until to-toot/ow in custody of MS. • Rl-
vett.—A. I do not think, .Sir, that can be al-
lowed.
Q. If it could be done, my Lord, I would be
extremely happy?---A. I am very sorry, Mr. Da-
oleic, but I cannot comply with your request.
The Prisoner bowed, and retired in custody of the
Pity flf§cers, by whom he was taken to Giltspue-
street tf.ompter. .
Mr. Daniels is rattier below the middle size,
lusty, Inn net fat ; his face full, his eyes and hair
dark, hisfose acquiline, and his complexion sallow.
He wore a black coat, black silk waistcoat, light co-
loured pantaloons, and half boots. During the time
he stood at the bar, he kept kis right' arm in the
breast of his coat, AS if he had received some injury
iii his breast. An voice, in answering several of ti.e
questions, was tremulous ; and he seemed through-
out very much affeeled and deeply irepressell witir a
sense of his situation.
Court was crowded in the extreme ; e en the
place set apart for his Lordship was so full as to
tartlet his view of the Prisoner. We observed among
them Mr. Bish, and several Gentlemen from the
/Stock Exchange.
Riven returned from Lancaster yesterday se'n-
liight, where he had been after a man, answering
the description of Dowels, to Liverpool, about five
o'clock in the afternoon. •OD his arrival there, I.e
learned that a boat has' arrived that morning from
the Isle of Man, where he also learned, that a man
had been arrested, answering the description of Da-
niels; and in confirmation, he saw a paragraph in a
Liverpool Newspaper, mentioning the circumstance.
Rivets went, in consequence, to the Editorof the Pa-
per, to make inquiry *hese he got his information.
The Editor very Politely informed him; and there
being no doubt of the faS, he engaged a pilot-boat
to take him by the nest 'tide, for which he was
obliged to pay 201. Hr set sail at two o'clock on
Thursday atternoun, and arrived at the Isle of Man
on Friday morning. He applied to Mr. Scott,
who lied arrested Daniels, till some person came
from London so identify him. Mr. Scott immeJi-
etely inewed Daniels to him,who WAS under the care
of some ; he was identiCed by the Grevle-
man who IT AVCIItti with [liven. The Officer pro-
ceeded to search him. and found upon • his person
about 1,50Q1. He asked Daniels where the re-
mainder was?—Daniels refused to tell. The Offi-
cer pressed him to tell, and told him het was detel-
ruined to find it oat. Daniels positively refuted;
