THE NATIONAL• REGISTER

Tuesday, ut a quarter past one, leis Majesty
left Carlton Palace in his private travelling car-
riage, accompanied by Sir 13. 13lomatichl, and escort-
ed by a party of Lancers, tilt. the Pavilion at Briol-
- The carriage left by di.: Park entrance. The
King will, it is said, be met on his entrance into
13rig;otoon by a IX:potation of•tho town, with a loyal
congratulatory Address on his return to England,
and particularly on leis arrival at this his favourite
reddence, the

Lavina Fenton (afterwards Duchess of Bolton)
was tempted by Rich from the Hay-market to Lin-
coln's-inn-fieles, in the year 17.8, by a salary of os.
per week: on the success of the ii ggars' I )pera, to
secure this valuable actress, he raised it to 80s. ! and
such was the ntge of the town respecting her, that
she was obliged to be guarded home every night by
a considerable party of her confidential friends, to
prevent her being run away with.
lo a letter from Lord Blaney to his Grace the
Lord Primate of behind, which has been publisht,sd
along with certain documents, it is observed, " that
the notorious disregard paid to the earnest entreaties
of the Protestant parishioners of that country, for a
resident clergyman, favours the progresss of discon-
tent, and gives rise to various popular predictions
unfavourable to the stability of the established reli-
ghm, and is peculiarly mortifying to all who have
its interest at heart.''
Family Antiquity—The celebrates! Lord Chester-
field had a relation, a Dlr. Stanhope, who was ex-
tremely vain of his p;ili,,;ree, which he preten.lca
to trace to a most ridiculous antiquity. his Lord-
ship one day, in his walk through an obscure street
in London, saw at a Broker's shop a miserable daub
of Adam and Eve in Paradiq,. He purchased it,
and having written on the top or it, " Adam de
S/anhope (?.f. Eden and Eve his wifc," sent it to his
relative as a present of a very valuable old family
picture.
Changes in the Times.—la the year 1672,at which
period throughout the kingdom there were only SIX
stage coaches continually running, a pi:mplilet was
written and published by Mr. John Cresset, of the
Charter-house, urging their suppression, and amongst
the grave reasons given against their continuance.
the author says--" These stage coaches make
gentlemen come to London on every small ucca.
eon, which otherwise they would not do but upon
urgent necessity : nay, the convenience of the pus•
sage makes their wives often come up, who, rather
than come such long journeys on horseback, would
stay at home. Here, when they come to town, they
must presently be in the mode, get fine clothes, go
to plays and treats, and by these means get such a
habit of idleness, and love of pleasure, us make them
uneasy ever after."—What would poor John Cresset
say if he were now alive?
Admiral Sir James Saumarez is appointed Vice-
Admiral of England in the room of the late Sir
Win. Young; and the Earl of Notthask, the third
in command in the action off Trafalgar, and the
only survivor, is appointed Rear•Atituiral of Eng-
lund, in the room of Sir J. Stumm-et.

A Russian captain, lately returnad from Persia,
mentioned to a friend in Astraean, that when he
was in that 4:tiontry he Kapp entsl on day to go into
the house of a native, where ha was surprised to
find twenty or thirty Persians assembled, and list-
ening with attention to one who was reading a book.
They no stainer noticed the straNar than the book
was laid aside and concealed, and it was with some
difficulty that hi could prevail on theta to tell him
what the book wrs. At lust they intimated hint that
it was the New Testament, and said the reason why
they endeavoured to conceal it was, that they were
not permitted to read it publicly.
The ladies of the township of Sandal, near Wake..
fiald, have entered into a subscription for purchas-
ing scam dialling fur the pour of that township,
and have already distributed a tiantity of appro-
priate articles for the approaching winter, to the
most necessitous of their neighbours.
Mr. Wontner is in a fair way of recovery, and
is hoped he will be still enabled to perfuriu the du
ties of City Marshal after he recovers.
Rear-Admiral ligrilry.—On Saturday last died
suddenly, of apoplexy, at his house in James-street,
Buckingham-gate, Rear-Admiral Burney, F.U.S. ire
his 72d year, eldest son of the learned and elegant
Historian of Music, and brother to two very distin-
guished persons of the present age, Madam D'Arblay,
the justly celebrated novelist, and the late Doctor
Charles Burney, a member of that triumvirate of
profound scholars which had adorned our own im-
mediate tint:s.

Singular roof of the eff.:(4131 of Soot in (k pre-
servation of Animal _ilatter.—A few days ago, on
the removal of u b aird in the interior of a chimney,
in a gentleman's drawing,room, iu York, a pigeon
wag found that had limn missing nearly live months.
Its ho.ly hid become quite hare, and the feathers so
firmly attached to it, that with the addition of a pair
of glass eyes, it would have equalled annort :toy
pres..rvation in the wilt:diva of the feathered
tribe.
