BRIGHTON, DEC. 31.
The oldest inhabitant scarcely recollects to have seen so
'large a portion of the fashionable world sojourning, at this
favourite retreat of Royalty as are now collected here, on
the occasion of the Christmas festivities ; although, in-
deed, the term " Brighton festivities" would rather seem
'taken from the present season of the year, than frees any
entertainments on an extensive scale which have hitherto
taken place. The party at the ,Pavilion has not as yet ex-
ceeded six-and-twenty, and has amounted to that number
only on cne or two days during the last week. To-morrow
evening, however, a very splendid entertainment will be
given, and numerous titled personages have docked hither
within the last two days, in sly expectancy of a provoke on
I the approaching festive night. You must know that a
1 royal invitation for New Year's Day, is a special favour,
and deemed a compliment faibryond an invitation on or-
dinary days. There is very litOm dillirence in the habits
of his Majesty here and duringidi residence at Windsor.
The same love of quiet and reLlremunt, the same disposal
of time, the same routine of occupations and amusements,
characterise his Majesty's domestic arrangements as
I hitherto. Indeed, his Majesty's love of retirement is so'
great, that it is apprehended ft ms be pernicious to his
1 health, for here be a'together confines himself to his Palace.
1 At Windsor he daily drove his phaeton in the Great Park,.
and this cessation from exercise constitutes almost the only
change between his habits at Brighton and at Windsor.
As usual, the King indulges in a game of whist
lin the evening. The Duke of York, who dined at the Pa-
-1 vilion on Monday, intended to have departed for Loudon
1 after dinner, but be continued at cards with his Royal
Brother till after twelve, and then set off for the metro-
polis, in order to be in attendance to hold his military
levee the following day. The Duke and Duchess of
Clarence arc still here. They walked together on the
Steine yesterday: altlub the day p lased over with in-
termittent showers of e,- there was a very full and gay

Presidency of the Infant Don Francis Paulo. The object of the:cae
reFested meetings is the amnesty, which is on the point of being

neglected to obtain precedents which may enlighten the Council
In this important affair. The archives have been consulted to,

RUSSIA.

PETERSBURG/I, Dic. 9.
The Emperor bas conferred the order of St. Andrew upon the
King of Portugal and on the Infant Don Miguel. The Baron
Stmonoff Gentleman of the Chamber, attached to the department
of Foreign Affairs, has been instructed to Carry these decorations
to Lisbon, and to bestow them on his Maim), and his august son.
His Imperial Majesty has also conferred the order of St. George,
of the firscclass, on the Duke of Angouleme.
M. Divoff, attached to the Imperial Embassy at Paris, is the
bearer of this decoration. He set off the day before yesterday, in
company with the Baron De Stroganoff
The Emperor has conferred upon the Count tie la Ferronaye, the
French Ambassador to our Court, the insignia of the Order of St.

The Duke of Montrose, we are happy to learn, is quite
„recovered from his late severe attack of the gout.
Lady Sophia Ileathoote, we are sorry to state, is much
indisposed, at her house in Grosvenor-square.
The Duke of St. Alban's, who has been confined with a
severe fit of the gout, since his arrival in town, is getting
better.

It is now certain that the Austrian Loan comes out at
82, which, with the premium which it is said to bear,
becomes 83. This stock, however, is likely to rise quite as
high as Russian or Prussian ; for, although it is true that
the resources of Russia are superior, and that the debt of
Prussia is not enormous, there is much less danger of war
with Austria than with either of the other Powers. which
inspires confidence in the stability of the Loan.—Evenin,
Paper.
An attempt made last week to introduce the John Bull
newspaper into the gentlemen's Subscription Rooms at
Ipswich was indignan.ly repelled, not from any political
feeling, but from the gross scurrility and immoral tendency
of that print.—Bury Post.
COBURG THEATRE.—We recollect the time when every
body who had a peculiar fancy for seeing water exhibited
within the walls of a theatre was obligtsl.t6 make a country
excursion to Sadler's Wells, and that between the months
elf March and October; but many changes have taken
_pliteesinee that time: and now we can see real water roll-
'Rik down a staircase at Drury-lane, in November, and have
a complete shower-bath at the Coburg at Christmas. This
'le must allow to be a mast striking improvement upon all
exhibitions of the same nature that have preceded it. The
scene represtins a marine grotto; and the water, descending
in a lucid sheet, forming, is it were, a complete transpa-
rent curtain before+ s splendiil'groupe of figures, forms a
most novel and delightful spectacle. This ending:a for
some minutes, an 4 the changing of the light thrown on it,
from one colour to another.vonsidersbly heightens the
effect. • On the whole it is a piece of machinery which does
infinite credit to the ingenuity and liberality of the ma-
nager, and seems in a fair way to reward him very
specsiily. I'he house is generally well attended, and the
performances are highly worthy of the crowded audiences.
CRIPPLLGATE WARD.—A, meeting of the inhabitant
householders of the Ward of Cripplegate was held on Tues-
day, fin the purpose of petitioning the Common Council to
increase the number of Common Councilmen for the Ward.
Mr. Alderman Wood took the (lair. The business was
opened by Mr. Newell, who proposed the following reso-
lutions :-1. That Cripplegate, within and without, is but
one Ward.-2. That the holding one 11"ardinote for the
election of the Alderman, has been, from time immemorial,
and is, one of the many proofs of the unity of the Ward.-
3. That the holding two meetings in Cripplegate Ward for
the election of the other Wurd officers, is contrary to the
original custom, contrary to the custom in every other
Ward, and in direct opposition to the spirit of the Statute
of the 11th of Geo. I. passed for the regulation of ward-
mote and other elections.—The resolutions were agreed to.
Before the meeting dispersed, Mr. Alderman Wood stated,
that a draught of a petition to be prt sentzri to Parliament
in the ensuing Session, complaining of the high duty on
coals, had been prepared by the Inquest of that Viand,
and he hoped that it would be numerously signed by the
inhabitants.

CII lIISTM AS FARE.—Some idea of the capacity of the
human stomach may be formed by the following account
of provisions actually consumed by 39 members of a club,
which assembled at a pbblic-house in this town on Satur-
day, for their annual feast: --Wolbs. of beef, a leg and
shoulder of mutton, weighing ttulbs., 3 legs of pork, of
141bs. each, 11 large plumb and plain puddings, and 3
skeps of vegetables, besides potatoes. It isnot to be won-
dered that nothing, was left Tor their breakfast the next
morning. By way of a whet, upwards of 50 quarts of beer,
were drunk before dinner !.---Bei7 I'ust.
