BRIGHTON, NOVEMBER 22.

The absence of the Prince Regent will include a
week or ten days, during which time all possible
ethirts nre to he made to finish the interior of the
Pavilion, flint the whole suite of apartments there
may be ready for use on his Royal re-
turn—and, it is said, that this desirable task will be
accomplished within the period specified.
The Marquis and Nlarchioriess of Conyngliam,
Lord and Lady Fitzroy Scrnertiet, and the
Mrs. Welleilry Pole, had the honour of dining
with the Prince Regent, in Marlborough-row, on
Tuesday, and the same on Wednesday, with the
addition of the new Lord Lieutenant and Custos
Rotribrum of this County. the Earl of Egremont.

EXTRACT FROM A PRI'YETF: LETTRR, DATED
NOVEMBER I.

,* It is some time since the very fine statue of the
Prince of %Vales, erected in the Royal Crescent of
Brighton, a most characteristic fine likeitess, point-
ing the left arm to France, and holding in his right
the sabre of Ins regiment, tilt 10th hussars, was so
mutilated, that the left arm and the hand of the
right arm were knocked off. Last night the same,
or other evil-disposed persons connected with their,
completely destroyed the whole statue. It is broken
all to pieces, and the pedestal only remains. It wits
said by runic of the bystanders, that it had been
taken down on purpose, on account of the mutila-
tions, to be repaired; but said a man present, how
can that be 1 it has remained several years so
mu-
tilated : if it had been intended to take it down, or
to repair it, it would have been taken down then,
and in the day-time, in light, by regular workmen
from the Pavilion ; but you must see that no regu-
lar workmen have been employed here, and it was
done in the night, when even the moon was absent,
and all was darkness and rain.—This I heard. I have
since beet) to are it, in the midst of a shower of rain.
The statue is down, and the pedestal wily remains.
The statue is quite broken to pieces, and the lace in
particular very much mutilated. 'flue nose is
knocked off, the chin broken, one eye appears to
have been broken by a hammer, and threats broken.
It is said, that the nose was kitocked offsoine weeks
ago: hut further attempts must have been [astir, for
the breakage about the nose ittfresh White. The ex.
clamation 1 hearth was, that whoever did this mis
chief ought to be hange.l. In the morning, the
itiliabitahts of the Crescent found a powerful well-
rope, by w Inch this immense statue had been
polled down, by which it would appear the strength
of • great malty persona must have been necessary
fur that purpose."

The Magistrates of Waterford, at the instance
of their respected Chief, Sir JOHN NEWPORT, >lle
about to begin a new House of Correctiou on the
model of that now builtlitig at Bedford, and have
employed the same architect.
The following letter, addressed to the Convener
of the county of Roes, by Mr. STEWART MAC..
KENZIE. gives that gentleman's reasons fur not at-
tending the meeting of the County :
&shalt ov Castle, Nretbrr 6, 1810.

observe in the /Reenters .Internal of yesterday, a

of whirls a mertiug of the Freeholders, Justices of the

Being myself neither an alarmist nor a radical reformer,
do not, in the present state of the country, see the cape-
direr, of such a meeting. If summoned with a view ler de-
clare our, abhorrence of the blasphemies of such writers as
Carlik, the condemnation would appear to be *ow uncalled
for, after the sentence of the law has twee passed upon Sire
baneful productions of such itifituated men. If convened
to express an opinion of the late distressing events at Man-
chester (maluss indeed it were to urge the necessity and po-
licy of the earliest inquiry into their). such as opinion
would, lam convinced, be premature. If assembled to pro-
claim the universal loyally and peaceableness of the inhabi-
tants of Ibis hued/ern district, the declaration of what ia el?
well known is, I think, wiinecessery, and calculated to do
ourselves injustice, by ltuditig to create elsewhere mistrust
alarm.

LORD LIARM4ND.

[Fro. u Pfter's Lai; r to his Kinfolk.")

" There is still, however, one Judge upon the
bench whom iIAS a pleasure ill bidding. sue'
look ;it, becalm-, in him, he enures me, may still
he peen a ;leonine relic of the old school of Scotti►h
Liwyere, nod tividtisli Judges. This old gentleinvii,
who takes his tide lr en estate e;died Hermsnd,
is of the Ayrshire family of the Fergissons of Kil-
kerran ; the same 1311,4 of which mention is lie-
qttei.t'y mode in Boron's Poem., our of whore um.
cestory, indeed, wirs'the original writer of the cele-
brated. Whistle of Worth' about witch the famous
song was written.

Three joyons good fellows, with hearts clear of flew ;
Crligdarrorls, so famous for wit, worth, anti law;
And *forty Glenriddel, at in old coin.;
And gallant Sir Robert, deep read in old whim

Desiring Gleuricidel to yield up the 'moil;
Or rise he would muster the heads of the clan,
Aid once more in claret, try which 1,1'31 the man.
&c. &c. in • strain equally delectable.
Ile is now, I suppose, with one exception, the
senior• Judge of the whole Court. for I see he sits
immediately on the left hand of the President in
the First Divisinii. There is sometliiiig so very
striking in his appearance, that 1 woioler I did not
take notice of it iu an earlier 'letter. Ills face 13
quite thin and extenuated, and he has lost moat of
his teeth ; but. instead •of taking easy from the
vivacity of his couotenunce, these very circumstances
seem to me to have given it a degree of power, and
fire of expression, which I have very rarely seen
rivalled in the cousitenance of any young man what-
ever. The absence of the teeth has planted lines of
furrows about the lower part of his face, which con-
vey an idea of determination, and penetration too,
that is not to he resisted ; and the thin covering of
flesh upon the booms of his cheeks only gives addi-
tional effeet to the fine, fresh, and healthful com-
plAtion which these still exhibit. As for his eyes,
they are among the most powerful 1 have seen.
While in a musing attitude he keeps his eye-
lids well over them, and they peep out with a
swimming sort of latigour ; but the moment he
begins to speak, they dilate, Hlll4 become fall of
animation, each grey iris flashing as keenly as a
flint. His forehtud is full of wrinkles, and his
rs e-brows are luxuriant; and his voice has a hollow
depth of tone about it, which all furnish a fine re-
lief to the hot and choleric style in which lie ex-
presses himself, and, indeed, to the very lively way
in which he seems to regard every circumstance of
every case that is brought before him. Although
very hasty amid impatient at times in his temper and
demeanour. and not over-scrupt.lous in regard to
the limits of some of his sarcasms. this old Judge
is a prodigious favourite with all classes who fre-
quent the Costrta—and, above all, with the Advo-
entre, at whose expense most of his spleen effer-
vesces. Ile is a capital lawyer, and lie is the very
soul of 1101100 f ; and the goodness of his warm
heart is so well understood, that not only is no
offence taken with any thing he says, but every
new sarcasm lie utters endears him more, even to
the sufferer. As fur the younger tnernherr of the
profession—when lie goes a circuit, you mac be
sure, in whatever direction he mores, to meet with
an extraordinary array of them in the train of Lord
Heinlei!. His innocent peculiarities of manner
afford an agreeable diversity to the surface of the
causes carried on under his auspice'', while the
shrewdness anti diligence of his intellect completely
provide for the safety of their essential merits.—
And Oleo, when the business of the Court is over,
lie is the very • prince of good-fellowe, and king
of old men ; and you are well aware what howl
delight till young men take in the company of
their seniors, when these are pleased to enter, bona
fide, into the spirit of their convivialities. Ile has
au infinite fund of dry, caustic, original humour ;
and, in addition to this, lie cannot fail to possess
an endless store of anecdotes; so that it is no won-
der his company should be so fitscinating to the
young jurist...moil% In him they are no doubt too
happy 'to have an opportunity of seeing a noble
living specimen of a very fine old school, which has
now felt little behind it but the tradition of its vie.
toes, and its talents, and its pleasantries ;—a
school, the departure of twiny of whose peculiari-
ties was perhaps rendered necessary in a great mea-
sure by the spirit of the age, but of which it may
be suspected not a little liar been allowed to ex-
pire, which might have been better worth prism.
iug than•much that has come in its place. It is
not, I assure you, from alone that I hear
lamentations over the decay of this antique spirit.
It is sighed over by many that witnessed its
(cautious ere they had yet come to be rare, and
will long be remembered with perhaps still greater
affection by those who have seen the last of it. relics
is the person of this accomplished gentleman and
exeellent Judge.

" There would be no end of it were Ito begin
telling you anecdotes about Lord Hermaml. I
hear a new one every day ; for he alone furnishes
half the materials of conversation to the young
grouper of stc,ve-schuol wits, of which I have
already said a word or two itt describing the Omer-
House. There is one, however, which I must
venture upon. When Guy AlaNnering came out, the
Judge was so much delighted with the picture of
the life of the old Scottish lawyers in that most
charming novel, that he could talk of nothing else
but Pleydell, Douche, and the High Jinkr, for
many weeks. He usually carried one volume of the
book about with him, and one morning, on the
bench, his love fur it so completely got the better of
him, that he lugged in the subject, head acid 'twill.
deis, into the midst of • speech about sonic most
dry point of law--nsy, getting warmer every mu-
went he spoke of it, he at last fairly plucked the
volume from- his pocket, and, in spite of all the
remonstrances of all his brethren, insisted 'upon
reading aloud the whole passage for their edifier-
tion. Ile cent through the task with his wonted
vivacity, gave great effect to every speech, and most
appropriate expression to every joke; and webs* it
war done I suppose the Court would, have no diffi-
culty in conteslingsthat they had very seldom been
so well entertained. IJoring the whole scene Mr.
S-4. was 'present. seated, indeed, in his
officiatcapacity, close under the Judge.
" Like alioost all the old Scottish lawyers, Lord
Hernmasslietisi less keen in farmisig,than iD law, and
iu the vtloymeut of gond cousgany. Formerly it

was lo Jerd upon as quite inconsistent with the pro-
• per eh pacter of an Advocate, Ao say nothing of a
Judge, to want some piece of land. the soperin-
teadatice of the cultivation of Which Might afford
an agreeable, no less than profitable relaxationt•
. from the toils of the rofession, those days it
was traerstond that every lawyer spent the Sat uoday
and Sunday of every week to the milder part of the
year, not in Eili.ibureli, but it his farm, or villa ;
mod the way they went about this was sufficiently
Characteristic. In order that no time might he last
in town after the business of the Court on Saturday,
I the Layers had established themselves in the pri-
viltge of going to the Parlsamsnt House, on that
morning. in a style of dress which most have af-
forded a most picturesque contrast to the strictly
legal costume of full-dress black suits, in *lnch, at
that time, they made their appearance there on the
oilier mornings of the week. They retained their
gowns and wigs, but every other part of their
equipment was in the very extreme of opposition
to the usual integuments worn in company with
these—riding-coats of all the splendid hues, slot
then as now abandoned to livery-servants, bright
mazarine blue, pea-green, drummers' yellow, &e.
but always buckskin breeches, and top-bouts and
spurs. The steeds to be forthwith mounted by
these embryo cavaliers, were meantime drawn up
l in regular lines or circles, under the direction of
iserving-men and caches, in the Parliement-close;
anal no sootier did the Judges leave the bench,
than the whole squadron got rid of their encum-
burners, sod were off in a twinkling—some to
their own estates—others to the estates of their
friends—but every one to some place or other out
of Edinburgh. Although all this parade has long
since &opt into disuse and oblivion, the passion
for farming has by no means deserted its hold of the
Scotch la..yers. Among many others. as I have
said. Lord liermand keeps up the old spirit with
infinite zeal. It is not now in the power of proles-
airmail people to leave Edinburgh at the end of
every week; but the moment any Session of the
Court is over, and a few weeks of intermission are
put• in his power, he quits the city on the instant,
and buries himself among his wools, and corn-fields,
and cattle, till necessity compels him once more
to exchange these for the " Weir, strepitwsque
Roma." Even in the city, there is in his dress
and gait a great deal that marks his Lordship's
turd ettachinents nod habits. His sine kings are
always of the true firmer's sort. with broad Stripes
alternately of black and white worsted—and his
shoei are evidently intended for harder work than
pacing the smooth granite of the streets of Edin-
' burgh. I confess that my eye lingers with very sin.
gular delight, even upon these little traits lu the
appearance of one, that may well be considered,
and therefore cannot fail to be honoured, as the
last representative of so fine a class."

PRoSECUTION OF SIR F. BURDETT.

Sir Frut.cis Burdett has received notice, that the
Attorney-General has filed an ex qtfieio information

that it was the duty of Captain Page Turner to

ner being restored to his reason and his property,
he looked with avidity for those reins nib, Joe,. of Lis

his father, but they were gone ; 12 silver dinner-
Coks with the arms of Page on them, Which had

Hart, with his own initials on them, also the silver
coins, which he had paid 200/. and loas.l been offer-
ed a much greater sum for ; and as to the chart.,
they were sketches or drawings of different views

ask, bow was it possible for the Master to set a
value on such articles ? to Sir Gregory Page Tur-
ner their worth was above valuation, for what man
could put a value upon the esteem that nos affec-

by his deceased father ? The Master then could
not make any report but what he did. Ile there.
fore had no doubt but his Lordship would reluse
the motion, and confirm the Master's report.
Mr. lIART replied.
The LORD CIIANCELLOR—•" This certainly is a
ease of considerable importance, as it relaters to the
property of lunettes. The Court always takes great
care on the issuing of a commission that every ay.
dim shall be paid to the protection of the lunatic's
property, and particularly in such a case as this,
where the Court allowed the lunatic's personal pro.
perty to be answerable for his debts. On lookirg
into this case, I see 4001. allowed to Mr. Harry
Phillips for making out the schedule and valuing
the personal property of the lunatic, which mount-
ed to 17,0001. and se guineas to Captain Page Tar•
nee for his personal expenses in attending the vi.
'nation, and also 800/. allowed to Mr. Pinitips
fur his commission on the sale, 19,01 es 81:1.
fur making out a catalogue. Then, stirel.-..
those persons ought to be able to tell the Cour'.
whether the articles said to be miewing were,
in the first schedule, taken at the valitation, and
whether they had or had not been :•
time of the sale. There is another petiti.i.i, tI. it (.1.
Sir Gregory Page Turner, praying that Capial.i
Turner should produce the articles, or lie co:l:taitz

for • contempt of Court, the prayer of which I
not grant, for if the articles had been in the posse*.
sion of Captain Turner, and are not fortlicuminr,
can only order him to pay the value of diem it•tlS
