The PRINCH REG4NT"SBIRTH-DIY was yester-
.day chserved with every demonstration of loyalty
and joy. The tradesmen of his Royal Highness
"received the usual present.of_two fat bucks: (hey
dined together, mustering upwards of 70 highly
respectable individuals, at the Thatched-house
Tavern, in St. "James's-street, at F. ix o'clock.—
A more than usual bustle prevailed. at the, West
end of the town, and the ilboninations were un-
precedentedly numerous, and uncowu►only
liant.

The happy return of PEACE, 'and the Birth-day
of the Pin CE REGENT, Subjects appropriately
joined together, were yesterday celebrated with
gt:eat festivity at Berlihainstead and Not thchurch,
Herts. The nnifning was ushered in %yid' ring--
ing of hells,. and other demonstrations of rejciie-
ing. Three triumphal arches were erected in the
town of Berkhainsteadi- decorated cvith
:flowers, ,and ribUnds, and surmounted with ap7
propriatte inset iptions. Tables were spread along
the road side, and at t‘vo o'clock- the porn inha=
bitants of the two parishes, to the number. of be-
twern two and three thousand persons, were re-
galed with roast beef, plant pildding, and ale ;
when dinner was ended, the health of our vene-
rable 'Monarch, of our-beloved Prince, and PeaCe
and Plenty, were drank with the•loudest acclama-
tions ; after which they adjourned to a neigh.
homing field, and entertained themselves until
dark with races, • and various other rustic sport,
for which appropriate prizes had been provided.

AsEcnoTE.—Wheti CAnosAc's Tragedy of The
Earl. qfj.ritrlcie.l.: (a subject;hick Ls H A tit, E af-
terwards dramatised with better success) Was first
perfornrcd, a mortal wound was given to the piece
at the very Outset : the actor to whose lot it fell
to recite the I(AloWing line,
" Let Englana be transported to the nrWst GP. France,"
unfortunately dwelt upon it with payticular em-
phasis, which occa:ioned one of the wits in the
pit to cry out, ‘. Make room for Enland,
.make
room for England !" This was enough ; it was im- •
possible for the piece to proceed amidst the cla-
mour that was raised, and the curtain dropped
without its being finished.
