DOVER, Ocroset it.

_

Yesterday forenoon, a young man, who appeared
about thirty years of age, and of rather genteel ap-
pearance, hired a boat to go oat a pleasuring, as he
asserted, for which he agreed so pay the two men
a guinea. They accordsogly stretched across the
Channel for snout eight or ten miles, in full view
of the French coast; but, when they were about to
put about and return, lie earn•stly entreated them
to land him on the French coast, as near to Calais
as they cools ; h: said he had particular 'insine,,s
there, and wanted to see a friend. The men, how-
ever, very prudently refused ; and, on• their return,
brought him before the Magistratrs of this town,
whom he told, t :at he was a native of Ireland, but
by no means a sithjea of Great Britain. and had a
rig at to go wh re he pleased; anti. as he could get
nothing to do in this country. he thought he mi;ist
as wet go to Calais, wnere he had a friend, who
would do any thing fo: him. Upon searching
nothing wastound bat a tew letters of no consequence,
and onl r one seven-shillings peer in money. At times
he talk :d rasher ineohetently, but still some method
was L:i-..overabit in his madness; it appeared.
b wever, that he had been all along the coast of
and seemed to Ire perfealy well a::cutaffited
with it ; he sometimes spoke in a sort of 1):()ken
Inglisli, more inclit.ing to a foreign accent than an
rish brogue. While at sea, he appeared pettealy
ratinnal, and requested the ho ttsnest by all means to
avoid every man ot war; but, hen t::ey ins .red oa
putting about, he hec. me sea-sick, .tott then talk-1
incoherently. Aftet a long examination hefote •
Magistrates last night and this morreng, he has been'
sent on to London.

The Royal Brothers then went down the line, and
inspeFted the three ranks with great minuteness.
An open column of companies was then formed,
and matched past their Royal Highnesses in ordi-
nary and quick time. Atter resuming their former
position, they were wheeled into line, and marched
forward in a body, with shouldered arms. They
were then halted, and i.eir front chanted, by throw.

retreated, in like manner. in great order. Not a
rile was seen broken ; they were then halted and
fronted ; a close column of companies was formed
in rear of the grenadiers, in which oi del they were
marched forwards 4 hundred yards, and, upon, the
march, broke unto an open column ; and, aft,' tak-

wheeled into line, whioh ended the manoeuvres
The Regiment afterwards presented arms, while
the Officers saluted ; and I his Royal Highness rode
up to Colonel Wyuyaid, the Officer commanding
thebattalion, and, with that di.tinguished grace and
elegance for which Hit Royal Hignness the Duke of
Cambridge is so remarkable, expressed his entire
satisfaftion of the good appearance of the Regi-

Ethranrd Taylor, a very fine boy, of ;shout tevelve
years nt age, was yesterday brought before the Sa-
ting Magistrate, charged with stealing a silver
watch, privately, in the shop of Mr. Sewel, watch-
maker, in White Lion-street, Pentonville. Mr.
Sewel stated, that the Prisoner, between ten and
eleven o'clock that morning, had come to his shop,
in company with another boy, who was rather older.
They said they wanted to purchase some wire ; but
Mr. Sewel, nut having any to sell, nor suspeAing
the boys in the least, came round the cotioter to the
shop door, and pointed out a shop where they would
he likely to get it. The boys thanked him, and
went ofd ; but they had not got more than two or
three yards from the door, when, instead of going
to the place he had &reeled them to, they separated,
and ran different ways. This created some siispi-
clon in his nailed ; and. on looking about the
almost immediately missed the silver watch pro& c-
ed, nOlich had a few days before been left by a cus-
tomer to be repaired, owl then lay on the window,
near where the boys sntoi. Seeing the Prisoner
Cunning; down White Lion street, he pursued, crying
out, Atop :Lief but he turned the corner and got out
of sight. By the rime Mr. Sewel got to the corner
of toe street, he met a woman, who gave him the
watch, and said, site found it. The Prisoner was,
shorty after, brought to his shop by a baker, who,
hearing the cry, stopped 11;m.
Ile baker deposed, Stlartile was serving bread,
ani seeing the Prisoner strep down, and lay i
watch etre the ground, instantly pursued, and °vet-
wet him.
The Prisoner eefnlesl to tell who his companion
was, and denied having any knowledge of the wo-
nsan wh. returned the watch to !qr. Sewel, a.:d who
had been allowed to escape. The :.lag;drate said,
oe was very sorry the woman iiad not been appre-
laer..iesi, as he thow4ht it ptomeide it was under her
tuition the Prisoner and lair companion had been
brought up to titese practees. The Prisoner w
fully committed for trial, rod Mr. Sewelkwastn

Yesterday, Sarah flaws. a marketawoman, vr..s
charged b Tore the Loan eiIAYOII, with traducing
the chara)ier of a gen.lem in, who holds a situation
erseioe is, the lodas House. The Complainant
Mated, that he was passim; a public-house, where
the Defer% !ant was drinking, in a state of intoxica-
tion. On seeing him, she behaved in t.he most in-
solent manner, c tiled him a thief, struck him several
blows, and thicatenel to swear a chili to him.
which, she said, he WAS the lather of. Having never
seen the woman before, he was the more astonished
at her condos% and, in order to punish her, ha sent
for an Otfizer, who took her into citstody. In an-
swer to the charge, she denied any knee ledge of the
Complainant, but confessed, she had behaved to
him in the manner described. under a belief, that
site had met a person who had formerly treated her
ill. She attributed her cunduslt to the liquor she hid
drank, and begged to be forgiven. As th- Con.-
plainant had been induced to take the Defendant
before a Magistrate to rescue his reputation, which
had suffered in the estimitti,n of his employers, on
her begging his pardon, he-consented to her dis-
charge, after she

ROYALTY TIIEATRF.
Wednesday, a very numerous meeting of the Ma-
gistrates of this division assembled at the Sessions-
House, in Wellelose-square.
An application' was made by Mr. ALIAS'. as
Counsel for Mr. Astley, jun. for a licence to open
the Royalty Theatre.
Mr. M %SHIT ta, one of the Bench of Magistrates,
very strongly opposed the grant of a licence. He
stated, that the Theatre was situated in a place where
it was probable that scenes of immorality might be
oned ; and that it had been the practice to open the
'Pheatre with pieces which tended to corrupt the
morals of the rising generation. For these reasons,
he should always oppose granting a licence.
Mt. Heston and Mr KINPi A I nr, two of the Ma-
gistrates belonging to the Niter-Offices. spoke in
very handsome terms of the conduit of Mr. Astley.
Mr. Ilia lOT observed, that he had made it his busi-
ness to attend very hectic:lly the representations at
the Royalty-Theatre, and was satisfied of the moral
tendency of them, as well as the good order kept up
before the curtain.
Several of the Magistrates joined in their appro-
bation of Mr. Ast.ley's conduEt, And the question was
then put to each Magistrate (twenty.nme being
present), when there appeared for the licence 2ti,
against it 3.
Mr. Asst.tr, jun. in a neat speech, returned his
thanks to the Coutt for the honour done him, and
intimated his intentions to deserve, by his tot! -to
good condo t, the opinion so handsomely given.
The Lunn then broke up.

A curious Pelee regulation exists in the capital of
Russia, which operates as a considerable checis upon
swindling and fraudulent praaices. It is to the fol-
lowing etfeA :—Previrius to their 'err's.; 6- capi-
tal, persons must advertise their intention of devot-
ing, on or about a given day, three times a .
he
Imperial Gaseti, ; this must be done before a post-
horse order can be obtained, without which it is im-
possible to stir. The übje* is to prevent individuals
going away in debt. by gtvi rg tinsels-notice to their
creditors, and may be Accomplisness i.. ten lays ;
or. if a traveller is in great haste to &part. upon
two householders, of tespesftability, underiaking, at
the proper Mice, to par all the debts IC may owe,
he may inune.liatelv .;epirt. A foreigne. era stay

Again. Were a similar regulation adopt( d in the
:1.-osid metropolis, it would prove an additional se.
curicy to tradesmen, operate as a ierrinde drawback
upon numbers .rf our Sedum, . sersiterrea, and, so far,
would be salutary and desirable. On the other
hand, it would be a serious consideration, bow far
tuck restridlions are compatible with the principles
