The depsrture of *l* Princess and Prince of
Hesse Hombosirg, is still a subject of regret here,
their amiable conduct tense justly endeared them
to all ranks and descriptions of people.
It is regarded as certain that our royal and libe-
ral benefactor, the Prince Regent. will once more
honour and eishren this town by his presence in
August.

The improvements at the Palace go on, but the
alterations are so extensive, that marry months mast
yet elapse before they can be in condition fur any
thing like general occupancy.

A disturbance took ;slam in the Baltimore theatre
lately. Mr. MaFARLAND, in tlw midst of is song.
was greeted by a solitary, and probably • splenetic.
hiss. which had the effect so to discompose his
muscles, that, forgetting Apollo. the Most*, and
the audience. he very fairly clenched his fiat at the
presumptuous intruder, accompanied by something
like an invitation to fight. This was certainly spi-
rited; but these sviiiistoras of oppognatiou are not
calculated to tranquillize an audience. and au actor
must expect, and be reconciled to, these occa-
aional sallies of ill-nature, without resenting it on
the spot.
We are concerned to find that • disposition to
riot was manifested at Dunfermline, upon Wed-
nesday evening. connected with the electioneering
bustle, during which the windows of the Inn were
broken, and some other windows. Some Gentle-
men were abused, hut the constables having as-
sembled. and secured eleven of the rioters. tranquil-
lity was restored ; a party of the Scot* Gres, who
were sent for and left Edinburgh on' Thursday
eveuing, were stopped at North Queensferry. where
they still remain. Much peaise is sine to Provost
il'at.sou, Baillies MICLDRUN and SCOTLAND,
and the other Magistrates mid respectable
iala-
bitanta, whose firmness mid forhearatice, with the
aid of the Civil Power, prevented the mischief
which was threatened.

being a banker, the looney is to be paid in his notes.
and sit his bank. Upon the day preceding the nu.
minatimi and return. the town-crier gives public
notice fur all the electors to appear personally at the
banking-house of Mr. to cowsids upon a suit-
able member for their independent borough. Each
appears accordingly, and receives his fifty pounds.

Mr. Such-e.ww. and the electors immediately elect
him. No question" are asked as to the fifty pounds,
or front whom it came. sod no oue of course takes
any blame to himielf for having received • bribe
from the worthy Mr. Such-sore. Each is willing
to swear that he never Mill his money. The vote is
given only from good will to the booker. and it seems
that the oath does Mil apply to pits Inies third
