THE PRaNCE OF WALES.—Yesterday being the
Birth-day of the PRINCE of WALES, when he coitil
pleted his 46th year, illuminations took place in.
honour of the occasion in various parts of the town,
`tot only among the tradesmen of His Royal High-
ness,.but at the houses where the Clubs patronised
by the higher. circles are held, as well as at the
Opera House and the Theatres. WHITE'S, BOODLE'S,
BROOXE'S, the Cocoa Tree, &c. &c. shone brightly ;
but one of the chief spelacles was Wrwsoit's 'Gas
Lights, in Pall Mall, which displayed splendid corus-
cations, that had a very pleasing effect. The Che-
valier RUSPINI manifested his usual loyalty in a
beautiful transparency. KELLY'S Saloon, and Many-
caller houses at the west end of the town, exhibited
brilliant marks of resped for the Prince, and those,,
p'ersons.who are more immediately conneaed With
his service . had a grand entertainment,- as usual, at
the Thatched House. The Prince presented them
with two fat buCks, and • the day passed with the ,
.Mmost festivity, varied and enlivened by.songs from
LEETE, GIBBON, MASON, TAYLOR, &C. &C. Among
the toasts which were chiefly gratifying to the corn-
. pany after The King, the Prince, and the Royal Fa-
mily, was orte in honour of the heroic Spaniards
who hake set the world such a glorious example of
loyalty and attachment to their:country. This toast
was received with such demonstrations of applause
as become E[tglishinen, with whom we trust loyalty
wilt ever. be a .charatteristic virtue.
iliummation on the Warehoufe for the. Ye-
llow Fever- Remedy, at Charing-crbss, was appro.

anchor, was very splendid, and attracted great atten-
tion.

tbe . Morning chronicle h.TS given, great offence
to the' friends of Lord C',..--, by the following pas-
sage; in a pretended letter from a Mr. WtittE-
stoßNE:--

" I am.prond, as an .tvglishrnan,' to declare to Dr. GAI. I.
and ail the world, that we'do possess a head too Sacred to be
analyzed by mortal man,but.super eminent-in true wisdom ;
despliwg the vulgar dread or disaffeetion at home and a :fo-
reign sword, but jealouilyyj'Ailant of thecowls el the monks,
and the sevebsuramenis of home."

They say, and .with some appearance of justice,
.than when he pressed the Catholic QUestion'on his
'Sovereign, he •did not "despise the vulgar 'dread
of 'disaffetlion," but was unfortunately ignorant of
the-geueral. o:..inicin on the st:bjea and he was -so
far rtoin " thinking lightly of a foreign sword,"
that; pf all, Europe can witness, he felt-such terror
at BUONAPARTE'S, that he:retired from Sicily (where
only he Could come in aintacrl with it) to Egypt
..and without makingYthe slightest intitalpt to a-r-
-rest, or to assist in, arrwting its murderous progress,
resigned-the world to destiny. With resped to he-
ing " jealously:vigilant or 'the cowls .of the Monks,
and of the severs sacraments of •Rorne,” it is freely
confessed; but still hiS Lordship's advocates main-
tain that the accuracy of the Morning
.Cltranicle,
in these instances, does not atone for the egregious
error in the preceding part` of :our 'quotation, • and
which could only originate from actious tirmale-
volent principles.

Wednesday last: the second anniversary of the
Wool Mart, established 'under the auspices of our
Agricultural Society, took place' at. their exiiibitioit
yard in Bath; and we are happy to state, that an
-institution so eminently calculated to produce public
benefit, promises to anSwer: the laudable, end of its
founders, and to become Of extensive utility. A
much larger quantity of wool, from a mixed breed
of British with a Merino cross, was exhibited and
disposed of than at the last meeting, and the quality
of some of the lots was particularly tine... A method
recoram.4taded and practised by Mr. Joy CE, of sottintr
and scouring.tbe improved fleeces, tittraCied much
attention, and seemed likely to prove extremely ser=
viceable to Woolstaplers, who at present are not
generally acquainted with the mode. B. lioamouse,
Esq.. M.P. was present at the mart; solicitous on
this, as on every occasion, to promote the objects of

Yesterday evening between six and seven o'clock,
an unfortunate accident happened at the Grand
Jundiou Wharf, near the Temple ; As some boys
were amusing themselves in a punt, .a yotath, alx)ut.

.der a West Country barge.. Every .endeavour was
used by the men belonging to the barge, with ,their
hooks, and the lightermen, with their hitches, to
find him,. but without success; they then. tried the
drags, but ineffedually. An expert swimmer then
madean attempt to dive after him, but in jumping
from the West Country barge, his foot slipped, he
cell wader the barge, and was supposed to be
drowned ; he was, however, piked up, three.
barges distance, airowit exhausted. Tin body of
the ytuth was not found at eleven o'clock last night.

toast I gave at the public dinner laSt week, by many
suppoSed to liiroe been, “. The President of the Uttit.
ed States," but aEtually .cg The President aed Unie=
ed States of America," had' been confined to the corn!;
party present, le ill:Add have, considered any blarni
that might have attached to me fullyftemoYed by the
general approbation 'expressed afterwards at my'
Conduct ; hut as it has excited much observaeon,
must request your hidelgence to insert i few lines
in justification of myself. I have always considered
it to be tree duty of, a Chairman to alt with impart- -
tiality and propriety, , and not to introduCe any toast
at a public dinner in a' clandestine manner. -TO
prove thatet:had no such intention, the toasts were
printed,- ' ith".a translation for theinforniation of
the visitors, and distributed at the table at which I
sat, although I believesthey were only partially cir-
enlaced at the -6ther tables. All the friendly Go-
vernments, with their respeEtivc Sovereigns, were.
given in regular succession; Spain, Portugal,'S'Neden,
Skily;concluding with America. My situation Was a
public one, and it was not permitted for me to in-
dulge a plicate opinion or feeling ; striet, impartiality
and coned propriety demanded that I should pro-
pose, and not omit, America, with whom we are in
amity and friendship, placing that Country on an
equal fodting with the-rest, An American Minister
is here we have one in America ; a state of peace
must therefore be supposed to exist ; and it would
havu been presumption for me, in the Chair of so
respedlable an Assembly, and in ftp presence of his
Majeqty's Ministers, -to have deckled whether the
present state of the cote/eel-ions between the two
countries was more or less friendly. Under theSe
circumstances, I must confess that I Feel neither
doubt nor difficeity in referring my'coudu& to the
judgment of every dispasSienate person. To accu-
satiens of party motives or' self-interested mean-
,ness, I can oppose with confidence a long ..life
passed under the eyes of many who Were present,
and I natter myself that . its oniforna tenor renders
it not neeesSary, for me. to enter into any further
defence. lam Sir, your most humble Servane

LAIP REPORT.

COURT OF. CHANCERY, AUGUST 12.

SKIPWITEI V. SIJERAVI.N

This was a petition on the part of the Defendants,
for leave to.file a supplenitintal bill, to obtain a re-
hearii .ot, -the cause.- This
,Petition was supportqd
D
by an affidavit of one of the etehdaots, that he had
been entirely ignorant of the equitatile.construc,:tion
of a certain act of his Testator:

Mr. El-nat and Mr. HEALD Wete Uoupso tor the
Petition. They stated, that the father of'flid,present
Defendant had by -his marriage settle/Tient a power
of charging ,50 0 . for each
,of, his younger chil-
dren ; , but t hat on the marriagc. of one, of his daugh-
tyrs xvith Mr. Lee, he-paid a-SUID 0f.5,0001;a5-a.inar-
ri32e pA,rt ion.' The present Defendant hadThotbeen
aware, at the hearing of the cause, that by the con-
stwaion of a Cot!rt of Equity,: The paying a larger
''Surn than -witat was_ mentioned'' ir -the settlement
Wa's execution of the appoitaMen. it having
been;now inferred, that such was;the Course of de-
. ci,,ionsin that Court, they trusted that; Mr. and Mrs.
Lee would not be allowed to -put In their poOkets
.2.500.1. more than They; were entitled to.
Sir SAMUEL E M ILLY and Mr.' THOMPSON-COD-.
tended on the, other side,- that applications for re-
hearing causes 'u:-ere merely applications to the dis-
cretion of the'-Conft ; and" that 'the Court never
granted them, unless it w's well ,convinced -there
had beenotne gross niistake, or that smile new
evidence 1.-yould have entirely altered the decree.=
In the present case, however,--irappeared Chat the
father did not consider the 50001. which he gave to
Mrs. Lee as an .execution of his power of charging
25001. nn the estates for her- use, as -he had given.
the sable portion of 50001. to' his other daughters,:
in addition to the 25001.

The LORD CIL said, that the afikkttit
appe;:rA to him not to,be.sutficient to induce the
Court to grant a re-hearing. From •what had,been
,staved to him ti-om the ear, it appeared that. t.here
would bescomratil.'.tory evidence, andthe.case would
be by no tneans. so clear as to have a re-hearing
granted as a matter of course. He should, however,
floc decide
.without aeeing the settkinents arid, the
ditterent deeds of appointment, which were not then
in Court.

• FERRARS V. SEEN. r• • :
< .
This was a petition, on the.parrof, the,Plaintiff,
to have the Defendant removed froth the manage-
ment of a literary concern, plied "-The Bath Chro-
nicle." The Defendant is "a widow, and bad the
managern,nt of the. same. in trust for her own end-
'dren, and also -for the children of.the Plaintiff, who
had been married-to the sister of litr husband. The
-complaint against
.her was, that'sheallOwed a Mr-.
-Wood to manage the concern 011relihed; and that
be- managed it in a Way-ilesirciariVe to the interests
of those tor whose'benefit it had been kit. It was
also staled, that as soon as Mr. Wood had received
notice of the present Motion, he threatened to ruin
-the establishment by.settin!,,2; upanotherin opposition
to' it ; and that be aEtually had tampered -with the
printers to leave the establishment, and sworn one
of them to work for him only. •
In answerto this it was' :.worn, that the concern
bad increased and flourished under the management
of Mr. Wood, and that hiS-intentioin towards the
Defendant were honoirrable.

it WaS argned
,the part of the Plaintiffs, that
,whether Mr. Wo,d• and- Mrs.• Keen might marry
or twt, it' viAi evideut that Mr. Wetid had now such
an iAtience• ;hat the concern could no-lorig& re-
main under the same Managtment with safety to the
thildren.•

The LOttb CHANCELLOR said, that 14 Tr.
•would do wellsto con Sider, that even if he were now
*to set up a new establishthent, he would nor find it
'easy to himself of the liability of a trtistee
for the children; in which capacity he had -now
.aeted for soiree year's. He was not,, however, pre-
pared to say, that the thanagetnent of the concern
'aught to be taken from the Defend-ant. :He should
'bestow a little more con•;ideratitin :On that, point be-
lore-he gave his final Opinion.- ':c: • -

LEITES, AUG. 11. ''.l

The, 8a11,.. night, wasmomerously attended;
there was:an. elegant. display of - compqny, . who re-
paired to it from-Brightoni. Worthing, and.the sur-
rounding places. Viscountesses MIDDLETON and
'HAMPDEN, Colonel SERGISON, with a numerous
party; Lady SHEFFIELD, and C.4l.4ain snipNaa, and
a party of ladies, were present. .:The town was all
bustle during the night—bds could not be had at
any price. Early in the morning, the surrounding
bills had a beautiful etfeat,-from the various military
corps which were out at an. early hour.. By twelve
o'clock, the Course assumed it,s-uival lively appear-
ance. The company were as, numerous as yester-
day. We have only.to lament the absence of his
Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, who remained
at Brighton toreceive his Royal Brothers, who were
expeted there in ttie course of use day. The racing
did not begin until balf.past .two. .

Lansdown Fair was numerously attended on Wed-
nesday ; there was an inimense show of inferior
horses and lean cattle, but the sale was dull. The
light-fingered tribe had 'an excellent harvest : one
gentleman farmer, who went to deal largely in lean
ock, lost his pocket-book, with near 10001.
Early on Thursday morning a fine young woman,
about 2.t years of age, drowned 'terse; t in the Gravel
Pit Water, at Hackney. It seems she tool. off her
upper garments, and bolded them UD, and then de-
liberaiLly walked into the water, till she got out of
her depth, and then sunk. The'Coroner's Jury sat
on the body yesterday afternoon.---Verdia, Lunacy.
On-Monday afternoon a poor 'widow woman,who
had missed her daughter for soMetirne (a girl about
• .•,
17 years of age), Wetil to a hbuse inVaSile-Street,
ChtfOrd7market, supposed to be a house of ill-fante,
where she suspeeed the girl:was. It was denied -at.'

itivestigation, tht.-: Officers; and a Gentleman_ who
vtifunteciterthiS services upon the oct6i'ai, discover-
ed the girl'in a cock:loft,
,and brought her.out: The
enraged Populace. then demo shed almost every

appearing, she was.so extreme!y nrd-treated, that it
was with difficulty she saved her
