GRAND FETE OF THE PRUSSIAN'S AT HAMBURGH.—OR
the 16th ult., the day on which his Majesty of Prussia com-
pleted the 25th anniversary of his auspicious reign, the subjects
of his Majesty, resident in the free Imperial city of Ham-
burgh, celebrated the day by a grand dinner at the Hotel de
Rnssie, on the Jungfer-Steig. The grand saloon of this very
fine hotel was completely filled. Mr. Wiedemann dis-
played his accustomed good taste in decorating the tables, &c.
His Excellency Count GROTE, his Majesty's Ambassador E-
xtraordinary at the Hanse Towns, was present on the interesting
occasion. Loyalty, and hilarity prevailed till a. late hour.
COLCHESTER 'TRUE-BLDE PITT CLUB.—OR Tuesday
last (26th inst.) the Members of the Colchester True-Blue Pitt
Club, assembled at the Three Cups Inn, in that town, to
celebrate .their sixteenth anniversary. From the present dis-
tressed state of the agricultural interests, and the natural effect
that distress must have on all other classes of 'society, the
opponents of the principles which this Club has so strenuously
maintained, were not idle in their speculations as to the dispo-
sition which might bsshewn on this occasion; and many were
found who felt no hesitation in anticipating that upon the mus-
ter of the corps this day, a considerable desertion from their
body would be discovered. These speculations, however, turn-
ed out to be altogether fallaCious ; and although it was broadly
asserted that not more than fifty persons would sit down to din-
ner, when, however, the Chairman, (Sir JOHN TYItELL), took
his seat, he found himself surrounded by upwards of a hundred
of the most respectable inhabitants of the town and comity, em-
bracing; we may fairly say, the most important classes of the
community..—( Chelmsford Chronicle. )

LADY NESTER STANHOPE.—This distinguished
personage, who, it may be in the recollection of some of our
Readers, was allied to the late Mr. PITT, left England many
years ago, and after travelling through many countries, took up
her abode in the East. We now learn, from a description of her
Ladyship, given in the Travels of RAE WiLsoisr, Esq. in the
Hcly Land/that she' resides at Abra, in the vicinty of Sidon,
possesses rent power, and is highly beloved and distinguished
for her benevolence, and the exercise of many acts that contri-
bute tb the happiness and centifort of those around her. Lady
H. Stanhope, who, it appears, keeps a handsome establishment,
has one of perhaps-the most princely studs of horses in the East,
which she caused to be turned out and shewn to Mr. Wilson,
who gives a list and description of them. In short, we perceive
that she is much idolized, and her letters may be held as equiva-
lent to a finnan or passport of the Grand Seignor to travellers ;
and Mr. WILSON-, who appears to' be a strong advocate for
her Ladyship, gives a view of her character in glowing terms,
stating that she has no intention of returning at any time to
England.
SUMMARY JUSTICE.— The same Gentleman
states, that when he was .at Jerusalem, a quick and extraordi-
nary mode in the administration of justice had occurred L.—A
shopkeeper having refused to give a person who presented a
gold coin for change the fixed value in silver, a representation
was made to the Governor of the city, who instantly commanded
his ear to be nailed to the door of his shop, where he was ex-
posed for some hours in great torment. ." die _that bath ears
to hear, let him hear !"

TIIE THEATRE.—The Opera
,of Gay Man-
wring, on Saturday last at Drury-lane Theatre,
was supported by the powerful talents of Mr.
13 a A II A M
.in Hence Bertram, in which he brought
forth all his musical powers. Mrs. AUSTEN was
also doubtless an additional attraction in Lucy
Bertram. She acquitted herself respectably.—
Mr. ltayNEn, from the York Theatre, gave a
good specimen of the rustic character in Dandle
Dinmant, and the rest of the characters
were well sustained by Mr. HARLEY, Miss
POVEY, Mrs. GLOVER, &c. &c. The Opera was
followed by a Divertisement, entitled The Halt
of the Caravan, in which were introduced several
national dances, that very successfully display-
ed the powers of Mr. and Mrs. BYRNE, Mr. and
Mrs. NOBLE, and Miss TREE. The variety of
the dances, and the skill with which they were
supported, excited the warm applause of the
audience.

We stated on Saturday last that Mr. COLMAN
had not, as reported, written a Dramatic Sketch
purposely for Miss CLARA FISHER, and the fol-
lowing Letter confirms our assertion :
