OWtyman, I'Viltnan, and Magrath. After which a
great variety •of interesting and appropriate toasts
['were given. - •

trale:subscription for the relief of the debtors was
very •produc:tive. The Lord Lieutenant stood at the
head of the list; and gave 3001. The amount is ex
-peeled to belittlOhort of .2,0601.

The anniversary of his i'vlajrsty's Accession was.
celebrated-at Worcester on Wednesday last, with as
`much loyal enthusiasm as Marked, this interesting
occasion in every other part of the,kingdom. The
.Mayor and Oorporation held a Meeting in the morn-
ing, and, unanimously voted an address to his Ma-
,4j,evy, expressive of their zeal and attachment. The
4141 or COVENTRY, WhO "was present at this'nieet-.
ingi. and sworn in as Recorder of the City, was re-
quested, to present the address to his Majesty, a ser-
vice which his Lordship Cordially undertook. The
Earl attended the .Mayor and' Corporation to the
Cathedral, and after divine service, they adjourned
to the Town Hhll, where the subjea of the address
was discussed, and unanimously agreed to. A grand
dinner then. took place in the Guildhall ;"the Earl of
COVENTRY presided in the chair. The Earl ad-
dressed the.coMpany, on giving his Majesty's health,
in a neat and appropriate speech, which was received
with the warmest applause. A succession of loyal
and-patriotic toasts followed. Lord DEERHURST,
the" Earl of COVENTRY'S eldest son Came forward'on
-this occasion, and acquitted himself highly to the
satisfaction of the company. The whole of the
day was marked by the tirmost good humour,, con,
viviality, and lOyal enthusiasd. • •

AC Chester; an ox, the gift' of John EgertOn,
'Esq. ode of the Representatives of the City, which
' had been slaughtered for the purpose of being
roasted 'whole on this occasion, was paraded on
"Tesday evening, ready spitted; with horns and •
otAil' gilt, and decorated with 'ribbons, through, the
° priticipal - streets of the city.' The carcase was
'VW:inted on a.- four-wheel carriage, fitted up for
tithe- purpose, and drawn by three horses ; behind
the beast; .on , the same carriage, rode the butcher,
with knife drawn ; thus -the procession proceeded,
-accompanied by -a -great concourse of people, to the
Tower Field, near the walls of the city,where a build-
ing had been ereEted for the purpose of roasting him;
it consisted of a back and two side walls of brick,
betwixt which a grate was inserted, eleven feet
lung and five high, and contained an immense
quantity of fuel; the fire was lighted at two, and
the ox put down to roast at eight o'clock on Tubs-
'' "day evening ; by. twelve the next day, it was as re
IL :
-
igularly and well-roasted as any joint of meat could
fiave been done by the most experienced cook'; it
- was then taken down„ and run up a, railway, con-
sisting of two balks, by means of wheels fixed on
the ends of the spit, to a large stage in the form, of
a table,- elevated about five teet`from the ground—
bete the body was carved in grand style ; rumps,
rounds; and sirloins, smoaking hot, ..greased the
table, and feasted the longing eyes and gaping
mouths of thousands. At the same time, four hogs=
heads of old beer were brought down to the ground,
lnd distributed 'to the multitude; this proved much
stronger than the ox, it. knockecVdOwri those who
had knocked. down thousands more stubborn than
themselv, —the whole, however, was concluded
without any disagreeable•tomult or disorder. •
Few places evinced more -more -substantial marks
,of loyalty andatredion than the village of Southgate :
.? likral subscription was entered into by 'the inha-
bitants, which was judiciowly expended in furnish-
ing provisions- to the labouring' class, and providing
an entertainment for the chirdren. of the Sunday
„§cheol. After, attending divine
service,when an
fAcellent sermon was preached by the Rev. Thomas
,Ylipbolt, M. A. Minister of the Chat.el,' 120 Oa-
gilipa were .entertained with true. .British hospitality
at the School-house, where the Ladies and Gentle-
men of Southgate presided ; and a lasting impression
couldnot fail to be produced upon the minds of the
children, what blessings are derived under the mild
sway of our beloved Sovereign, and our. present
- happy Constitution.

CURIOUS HOAX.—Amongst the various. artifices,
to which the ingenuity of man resorts, to dispel the
ennui whiclfavvaits his vapid hours, may be reckoned
the following curious hoax, which was played ••off
yesterday, at the house of Mr. Griffiths, a respect•
able apothecary, in Bedford-street, Strand, which at.
tradied an immense crowd of spectators, and afforded
to them Much amusement,. dining the whole of, the.
day. The family of Mr. G. are absent from• town,
and the house is left, to thecare of .a female servant,
wh6,was---greatlY -Surprised by the arrival of various
good's from tradesmen of all descriptions at each end
end of,the town, none of which had been ordered by
any of Mr. G.'s family. To enumerate • them, all
would be superfluous. Among them, however, were
the following :—An immense` large patent mangle,
from tha neighbouthood of Oxford,street.; :a :great
quantity of carpeting, and other articles of household
furniture; three waggon-loads of coals';.sotne boxes
of candles; an extraordinary large rocking-horse.
As the articles arrived, and the bearers. found out
their error, they imparted their disappointment to
the crowdcolleCted, who enjoyed the joke; which,
to crown all,. was heightened by the arrival, ,at the
liOurOf dinner, of not less than eight post-chaises,
froindifferent,parts of he country, of the most par.-
ticular friends of the Doator, each petson haying re.
ceiyed a special invitation to partake of a Jubilee, at,.
tlte, liOetor'S expence ; . their confusion. may be easily
imagined, when, to the anxious inquiries they made
after the health of the DoCtor, frotri the servant, they
learm;that so far frorn.the kitchen chimney smock-
ing, and the savory viands being ready to serve up,-
there was no noEtor at home, nor'any festive board
to greet their 'approaches.' They were, of course,
reluctantly compelled to return, and the mob gave
,three cheers at tlieir departure. The servant was at
len,gth.obliged, in consequence of the fresh arrivals,
Of dead and live lumber, to shut the door, and, in
spite of repeated knockings, to refuse opening -it,
again. These arrivals continued froth an early hoar-
in the morning, until sable night had set in. It
may be easily imagined, that some person, intimately
acqdainted with the Dodtor's conneations, was at the •
bottom of the hoax.

• (ANOTHER ACCOUNT.)
Yesterday a most whimsical scene of disappoint-
ment confusion, and•uproar, took place in Bedford-
street,. Covent-garden. In consequence ,of orders.
sent to almOst every part of the metropolis, and
letters addreised to a great number of profes-
sional gentlemen, in' the name of Mr. Griffiths, Of
Bedford-street, his house, No. 37, was beset from
an early hour. in the afternoon, until, it was nearly
dark, by a - multitude of tradesmen, •applicants,
suitors, and visitors of almost every description.—
It would be difficult, if not.altogether impossible to
describe the motley train of persons that sue-
cessively
applied for admission, and so._ corn,
terrified the servants, by their constant.
knocking, and, in many instances, peretnr;to'.
ry demands • to see Mr. Griffiths, who Was
out of town, that the door was at last' locked •
and bolted„ As the.garrison- would listen to no
terms, and would not suffer.even a flag of truce:to
Come within the lines, a regular blockade was
formed and kept up for a considerable time, the be-
siegers constantly. receiving fresh reinforcements:
The articles brought to the house for the approba-
tion and purchase of Mr. Griffiths, were of the most
heterogeneous kind:---sofas, mirrors; pelisses, boots,
shoes, pearls, carpets, hats,-books, sweemeats, tea,
colfee, h MS, pickles, sugar, featherbeds, turtle, ready
dressed horn the Poultry, soda-water, jellies, piano-
fortes, fiddles, and flutes,• maps, prints, drawings,
&c. tkc.. What rendered the scene more ludicrous,
was the appearance of post-chaises, , gigs, saddle-
horses, coal-waggons, . and organs; all. of 'which •
drew up in the closest' possible order near the
house. The inhabitants of the street expressed great
'surprise at this extraordinary Medley, and at first:
.inquired by what right a fair was to be established
iii Bedforthitreet. The , hoax was, however, very
shortly discovered, and the eipeaations of those.
• who were sent with, or brought their commodi-
ties and articles for sale or hire, were changed
into rage' and indignation, at being so ridi-
culously duped. The groupe was, 'unquestionably,
,as variegated -as the diversified business and pur-
suiti of lire could render it. Athong the applicants
at No. 37, were physicians,' surgeons; and under-
takers, nurses of all kinds, architeas, surveyors, and
dancing-masters ; dentists, painters, and fencing-
masters ; lawyers, musicians, sculptors; and linguists
from almost every part of
.the world. The most en-
raged of all at the disappointment was an old man,
who had hobbled to town froln Hanimersmith, to
be paid a legacy of 7001. which he was assured Mr.
Griffiths had received for him. The Babel-ites at
length dispersed, and tranquility was restoredto Bed-
ford-street. 'The following is a. copy ola letter sent
upon this occasion to Mr. Tegg, the Bookseller, of
Ctieapside. The others probably ran •in a similar
