repeated after sun-rise in the morning.
I On Thursday his Royal Highness inspected the
Palace improvements,and expressed himself pleased
with many parts of them; the construct' and or-
namental decorations of the spacions music-mum
was reviewed with satisfaction : in truth, the beauty
of this apartment is much beyond whatever of the
kind is to be found in any other part of the king-
dom ; and, when completed, fur splendour, ele-
gance, and taste, will nut have it. equal in Europe.
General GWYNNN was the only visitant who had
the honour of dining with his Royal Highness this
day.
On Friday the dinner visimitts were Mr. GRE-
VILLE HOWARD and NIG LEILis ; a card was sent

BLuNIERG, left the l'avihuu to return to Cadton
House.

Sir illthJstifiu and Lady ihoosurts3.l3, had
left the Palace for town about two hour. previously.
Excepting the enclosed lawn of the Palace, his
Royal H:gliness did not shew iii plaint:—
crowds of w.ll-dressed people, however. at intirtvaks
collected about his residence, to prove, should oi.-
casion offer, their attachment, loyalty, and respect
to his person.
The arrivals last week were very considerable—
among missy other% they included—
The Earl of F. t (since departed). the run and
Countess of Longford, Sir G. Webster, Bart. and Lady,

A robbery of rather an extraordinary itatore took
place iii the house of Admiral LAUGEIARNE nil
Wednesday. The Admiral, in a deloilitated stone
of health, has been here some tune, and while
walking in the afternoon of the day above named
tame person contrived to get into his apartment,
Mud, Ina cupboard there. after forcing the lock, to
take from his trunk bank notes to the value of
sixty-three pounds. A quantity of silver plate, &c.
was in tliß same cupboard ; all of which trntsiurll
untouched. This robbery must have been com-
mitted by saute person well acquainted with the
tomcats of the trtelk. A youth who is related to
the people of the loose has since left the town,
against whom suspicion rests. 'Towastavao and
SAVERS were applied to. rind had their advice been
pursued, the source of the delinqueveys ere ibis,
in all probability would have been discovered.
The 9th Lancers were reviewed last week, on
liollingberry Hill, by General Bovrors.

In several prosecutions for larceny, at ou► last
Assizes, where the constable was called solely for
the purpose of producing stolen property, and
proving the Prisoner's apprehrmion, Mr. Baron
GARROW stated, that however universal the prac-
tice might be to deliver stolen articles to the con-
stable, to be produced by him nt the trial, there
was no necessity whatever for any such proceed-
ing. It tended greatly to increase the expenses
oh the prosecution, the trouble of examining an
additional witness, and frequently the difficulty
of identifying the property. In the case which
more partieulaily rolled forth Wm observation,
a constable came from a remote plot of the coun-
ty, exclusively to prodoce a tiiowg article, and
prove the ;apprehension of the Prianner. lie stat-
ell that he was expressly directed to attend by
the Slogistrater clerk. Mr. Baron GARROW said,

tendance au idle waste of tune and tramey, and
tending to multiply the difficult) of cotivictiou.—

At an early hone in the afternoon, the Thames above
Bridge presested • noble and magnificent appearance,
the whole airfare of the River being literally covered with
bouts. The barges were crowded with people, and the hanks
of the shore displayed a numerous assemblage of spectators.
' About Italtpast four o'clock the several candidates mate
their enird on the watery element, each appearing confi-
dent of .access. The Bring of n eon was the signal for the
competitor' to prepare fur action, mid having 'trounced
themselves in regular rotas' at IVestmieniter hridge, a se-
cond signal hying announced, they started in grand style
to row round a boat above %%sunbelt-bridge, return clown
the Surrey shore, round the beacon, umuisity liungcri,e4
stairs, and back &Tabs through the erotic arch of West-
milisicr-lbridge. Tlw three first boats in this beat mill
were entitled to row the second or grand prise heat, which
fell to the lot of the Scarlet, Purple, and ()lenge, they having

The successful candidates its the first heat now !vegan to
put themselves in readiness for the grand prize, and !saving
taken their station at Westminster-bridge, precisely at
seven o'clock, the signal was given, when they slatted
uhnigi.iile each other for some distance. Scarlet at length
shot a•lwail, closely wino( d by Purple, which 111/ man-

the lead, and g nerd the prise, after • very sharp and severe
contest.

the day'4 diversion. It wag desk hr fore the whole was con-
