ALCHESTISR GAOL.

Bridle, the fete keeper of Ileheater gaol, has ad-
dressed a letter to the Editor of The Both aid
Cheltenham Gazette, containing positive denials of
several of the matters laid to his charge by Hr.
Hunt. The following is an extract :

" It has bees elated that • thernb-serews, gags, seek-irons

The King's Palace, St. James's, had been for some
time till lately in a very disorderly state, occasioned
by lads, men, and lemsles, of the lowest and moat
depraved habits resorting there, and afro to the
avenues leading to the Palace, many of the pet-antis
of this description sleeping in corners and other
parts of the Palace, and remaining there all night.
The nuiratice had got to that pitch that the Duke of
You' and others residing within the precincts of
the Palace, could not puss to •od from their re-
sidence without being annoyed or insulted. The
military on duty oil the king's guard were not
equal to remedy the evils complained of, when the
Doke of YORK applied to the Board of Green
Cloth, and upon an inquiry it was found that con-
stables had not power in the Palace. and the other
civil power was the Nlarrhalmen. and the conse-
quence was one of them was ordered to attend re-
gulaily in rotatioo. which ha. been done fur some
time part. and the greatest order and regularity
now prevails, the disorderly persons alluded to being
prevented from remaining.

the Monitors° in person, victory, as u►ual, de-
clared for the British ; and among the gallant
young officers, whore conduct on the field attracted
the notice of the Commoiding Officer, we are
happy to are mentioned in the Gazette the name of
Lieutenant JANES ULENCAIRN BURNS, a native
of this county, and youl•Kest sou of the Poet.
Those who take an interest in the family of the
Bird, will l►e pleased to learn this fact, and the
more so when we assure them that M►. Buitms, who
is as good as he is brave, bus ever discharged the
dotter of a son acid a brother, in a atwitter that en-
titles him to the warmest reca•tis of every real-
hearted SCIPWIPHII./ With/ Cowries.)
On Sunday last the uncient custom of cracking
the whip-gad was performed in Caisson Church,
before a crowded congregation, who attended to
witness the ceremony (and also, it it to be hoped,
fur a better purpose). N. B. The whip war cracked
by --- SHAw. of Brooglition, near Brigg, being
the forty-Moth year of his performing the ceremony.
Mr. liaown, the Keeper of Newels,, has been
•ppoint►d %Vanier, of she Fleet patron in the room
of Mr. NIXON. deceased. The rumour that the of-
fice is one which is purcharietl of the Chief Jur-
bee of the Common Pleas. is, we believe, totally
groundless. The office is in the depots! of the
Lord Chancellor and the ChiefJurtice of the Com-
mon Hear, and has bees gratuitously couferred on
Mr. Badws.
