MANCHESTER, SEPT. 30.

On Thursday that excellent .Regiment of Horse,
the,Fourth Dragoon 'Guards, quartered in our bar-
racks and the circumjacent towns, way reviewed on
Sale Moor by the DUKE Of GLOUCESTER, when they
went through their evolutions in so capital a style,
as to ob4ain the warmest approbation of his High-
ness, who paid a high compliment to the Commandant,
Lieutenant-Colonel TEASDALE. During the charges,
whith were. managed with the.utmost skill, two of
the men were accidentally dismounted by their
horses stumbling.; but we believe neither of them.
sustained any material injury.. The weather being
,remarkably fine, the spectators were numerous.
On Friday morning a Gentleman of this town,
about five feet high, undertook, for a trifling wager,
to walk 18 miles in four successive hours, which he
performed on the Oldham road, twelve minutes and
a half under the time.

We copied, by mistake, yesterday, an article from
a Morning Paps:r, announcing the death of Lord
CHARLEMONT, in the 84th year of his age. His
Lordship, it is well known, is but just of agee and,
we believe, in good _health..
We are glad to learn, that Mr. Pnum,s, of
Bridge-street, at the instance of some Correspon-
dents of the Monthly Magaiine, has consented to
receive Contributions for the Widow and Children
of PALM, the Bookseller, of Nuremburgh, who was
lately so atrociously murdered by the myrmidons of
BONAPARTE.

Owing to the persevering aaivity of Mr. GRAHAM)
there is every reason to believe, that the murderer of,
the young woman in St. George's-fields is at length
in, custody. The accounts which appeared in many
of the Papers are totally unfounded. Several ex-
aminations have already taken,place, anda farther in-
quiry into this intricate business, will be proceeded in
to-day.
Two footpads on Friday evening last stopped Jane
Davis, the Cook to Mr. Atkinson, at Dulwich, on
the highway at Dulwich-hill; ‘-ti wen on her return
from town to her master's house. They were:both
habited like seamen,, the. eldest in long clothes; and
trowsers, the younger one sin a bine jacket, and by
their accent appeared td be Irishmen.. They used
her very iii, as she states in her modest manner, and
then robbed her of her Pocket, coneining eighteen
shillings in silver, a bod`kw and tpothpickrtwo
:gold rings, foir.pair. of new black worsted stockings,
and -variou.s ether articles. • •

`, A grand- Selthieft -of Sacred Music Was performt d
.at the Cathedral, on Wednesday, morning, <md a
Miscellaneous Goncert.at the Hall, in the evening :
`the •attendance .at the _,former was crowded; and

filled,lnda tiiiMber of-families were compelled to re-
turn; not being able to gain admission:

The; Messiah, on Thursday Mottling, drew' an
immenseT4semblage of company, and the Cathedral
was completely filled an hour. before the performanc-.:
began. It was executed with the greatest corre.t-
ness and effea. In the evening, at the College-
Hall, the Festival 'concluded with another grJa3 •
Miscellaneous Concert ; in the course of which,
Mrs. BILLINGTON agreeably surprised the audieoce
by introducing the favourite song of " The Soldier'

tied," .and was rapturously encored.
Mr. CLARK was the new Conductor ; and the
company bestowed a just tribute to his great exer-
tions, by expreSsing throughout the whole the
highest approbation.
The Instrumental Performers well merited the a -
plause that was •repeatedly given them. Of the
Vocal Performers, Mrs. BILLINGtON was ;t4ain-
teceived_with rapturous welcome. Mrs. VNuonits

and Miss FANNY' Ross MELVILLE were gene-
rally admired, Messrs. HARRISON, KNYVF,TI-,
VAUGHAN, and JAGER, retained, in full prfec-
tion, their accustomed taste and science ; and 4;1•
though the absence -of BARTLEMAN was .gezt:f. re-
gretted, considering the shortness of the 'notice, Mr.
BEALE acquitted himself tolerably well.
The great -attention- and politeness of the Stew-
ards w'ere not less noticed than admired; and the
respea shewn them by such a numerous attendance
of rank, beauty, and fashion, must have been higliik
gratifying.
The different Colleetions at the church-door, for
the benefit of the Charity, were as follow
