the Princess Sophia, visited the Duchess of Gloucester and
the Princess Augusta.
The Princess Augusta took an airing in her carriage yes-
terday, and paid a visit to the Duchess of Kent at Kensing-
ton Palace.
The inquiries after the state of the Duchess of Gloucester
yesterday were very numerous. The answer given was,
that her Royal Highness was much better.
Yesterday morning the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
Lady Sarah Robinson and family, arrived at their resi-

Mr. T. Moore, the poet, was among the Wilt/hire fa-
shionable, who attended the Devizes Assembly last week.
It is said that the proprietor of the Haymarket Theatre
means soon to open his house again with a respectable corps
of performers, under the protection of the Lord Cham-
berlain.

We understand the proprietors of the Morama are about
to open it at Liverpool and Manchester, where suitable
buildings are erecting at great expense, and to which
places the pictures are removal. It is expected to open in
both towns the first week in December. _

A Mechanics' Institute is forming at Ipswich.
From what is very currently reported, it seems to be al-
most beyond doubt that an attempt will be made to effect
a charge in the representation for Northumberland at the
next erection.—Newcartle Chronicle.

We have authority (says the Dublin Freeman's Journal)
from Mr. Henry Grattan to state, that it is his intention to
offer himself as a candidate, at the next general election,
for the city of Dublin; and he has though: it advisable to
make this early intimation, in consequence of an active and
secret canvas now going forward. which might be pr.judi-
cial to his interests, it' his friends were not apprised of his
determination.

The Rev. Charles Woulfe was educated by the Rev. Mr.
Richards, at Hyde Abbey School, Winchester, where at
fourteen years old, he wrote a Prize Poem on the Death
of Abel, after the model of the prose German writer,
Gessner • he thence was removed to the Dublin University,
where, forr the first time, the lines of General Sir John
Moore (shortly after) appeared, and of which he was by
I all considered the author ' • lie was then ordained, and
placed in the curacy of Castle Caulfield, in Armagh
Diocess, but from his delicacy and constant application to
the duties of his parish, he contracted a decline, and died
about two years back. He preached a remarkably excel •
lent sermon, which we believe is now in the hands of a
gentleman in the south of Ireland. It was intended by
some friend to publish this little production for his benefit,
after he was from ill health obliged to resign his curacy,
but his death arrested their good intentions.—Cork Southrt is

blesses. Cusstai:as AND Co.—A general meeting of
the creditors of Nlessrs. Chambers and Son was yesterday
held at No. 160, New Bond-street, for the purpose of in-
specting a statement of their affairs, and to determine
upon what measures should be pursued, in order to ren-
der the assets available, in the most expeditious and eco-
nomical manner, to liquidate the claims now outstanding
upon the partnership. A wish was expressed that the
meeting should be of a private nature, as it related solely
to the interests of the creditors; we therefore abstain from
furnishing any particulars.
It was stated some days back that the Recorder would
make his Report in the course of this week, or very early
in the next. It is now understood that the Privy Council
is to be summoned to meet at Carlton House on Saturday
next, when the King will come to town for the purpose of
receiving the Report of both the September and October
Sessions.
The Grand Duke of Tuscany has never signed a death-
warrant since he came upon the throne.
At the sale of a Clergyman's effects, lately deceased, in
an adjoining county, his library was sold for 31., and
the liquors in his cellar for 381 f. 155.!
It is said that Mr. M'Adani's plan of road-making, to
be effectual, should have the upper coat of material laid
full ten inches deep. In streets of much traffic this should
he still more ; instead of which, the stones are laid so
thin in some places, as scarcely to conceal the mud and
rubbish they are bedded in.
The King of Prussia has applied to the same Gas Com-
pany which has engaged to light Devouport to light Berlin
with gas.
The town of D -vonpert is about to be lighted with gas.
The new Victualling-office reservoir, to be constructed
on the hill near the battery at Stonehouse Point, is to con-
tain 12,000 tons of water, fur the use of the shipping at
Plymouth.
It is intended to establish a county hospital at Bury.

CORPORATION or Heaerono.—At a meeting of our
Corporation, on Tuesday last, the freedom of the city was
sold to Mr. Pritchard, tailor, of Elgiu-street, and Mr. Win-
ter, better known as Spring, the Champion, for 33/. 10s. SI
each. Petitions were presented from Walter Wilkins, Esq.
Thomas Andrew Knight, Esq. of Downton Castle,
and Mr. Benjamin Lloyd, an old and respectable trades-
man of the city, in the usual mauneri to purchase their
freedom ; but to the shame and disgrace of the members
composing the majority of the meeting, they were rejected ;
Mr. Wilkins is the respectable member for the county of
Radnor, and Mr. Knight, the President of the Royal
Horticultural Society of London ; and we should have
thought their rank and respectability would have entit'ed
them to a favourable consideration with this sapient body.
But it seems the person who takes the lead at these meet-
ings, imagined that the above gentlemen were disposed to
support the independent candidates for the representation
of the city. All the rsw members of this corporation
have, it seems, been chosen by the gentleman alluded to ;
and of course they are entirely subservient to, and at the
will of their halt. ('an we, therefore, be surprised at
their rejecting Mr. Wilkins, Mr. Knight, and Mr. Lloyd,
stud admitting Mr. Pritchard and Mr. Winter? If the
freemen of Hereford du not bestir themselves, it is evident
that the representation of this city will eventually become
as reveetable and independent as that of Penryn, Gatton,
or Old Sarum ; as we find that the leading member of the
corporate body has only to make known his sovereign will,
to cominand, at all times, as great a majority as that which
on Tuesday last submittedl to his dictum.—Herejiml In-
dependent.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East
India !louse, when Captain Charles S. Timins was sworn
iota the command of the ship Royal George, consigned to
Bengal and China.
Itemsiesansr REFLUX OF THE TlPS—About noon,
on Saturday last, the several doors at the Grand Sluice,
which had previously been closed by the hygre, at half-
past nine in the morning, were forced open by the freshes
from the Witham, as is usual when the tide has ebbed out.
About half-past twelve, however, a reflux of waters, or
another hygre, passed through the haven with such rapidity,
that it soon acquired force and height sufficient to empower
it to override the freshest, and to close the sluice doors, to
the astonishment of all present, within four hours, a second
time.—Boston Ciazdt:•.
