BRIGHTON, DEC. 24.

Yesterday the infant danaliter of General -and
I,ady,JANE HOUsTOWN was baptized at their mansion
on' the West Cliff ; his Royal Highness the Prince':
of --WALES doing them the 'very great. honour 01
standing as one of the sponsors in person. The ce-
remony ot: the soleninity of .the baptism being over,
the PRINCE and a large circle of gens de condition,
took dinner with the General-and his Lady, who,
after the removal of the table-cloth, -together with
the whole of the distinguished dinner party, attend-
his Royal Highness to the Pavilion, 'Where others
of. Nobility were waiting to receive them. The com-
pany now in number amounted to nearly one. him-
dred,'arnoog whom were Lord and Lady DARN,EY,
Lord and Lad) C. SOMERSET, L,rd HEATHFIELD,
Mrs. FITiHERBERT, Lady LAKE and daughter, Ge
neral TURNER, and the first Ailitary characters in the
distrid, and theic,t,,a-1.0—,-,*.x,
`"apartments, the north wing or conservatory only
cepted, on this occasion was most
natal, and: heeffea which such a well 114IarCI
.of light'had beyond the exterior of theeuiflce,
highly grotitying tb behold. Music constituted the
print atuusement-of Atte evening, to which, ho•x-
mr, the evening was too bleak and -damp for the
wonted number' of 'listeners to he. found on the
Steyiie. The Cont'erf was not finally concluded
til better
,than one hour after midnight;' and some
timer-Lipsed .sup,equtnily ere the company began
generally le retire.
' Hip Royal Highness, about nine o'clock in- the
pa tire rota hence
,Carlton
MOrning,•tobk his de rt f f
House. Various Nobler-nen 'and Gentlemen also left
as -about the same time. As a proof that it is not
the present intention of the' PRINCE to revisit this
place during the winter season, the whole of the
Pavilion establishment have orders to remove to
London with all convenient expedition. The whole
of them, consequently; excepting those servants to
.Whorn the care of the premiSes are entrusted, will
have left us before the end of the ensuing week. • '
If is en( t rstood here, that the PlliNce- will take
dinner to-morrow with his MAJESTY at Windsor: •
We had a sliOit fall of snow this morning, sinde
which the weathei has beets damp, hazy, and excess.
• sively cold ind.utipleasant but few of our. frshion-
ables, therefore, have ventured to stir from the more
genial influence of theit own comfortiable and so!
tiable firesides.

PASSING BASE COlN.—Notwithstanding the great
number of offenders of this description,. who ,have
betn lately committed to Warwick and Stafford
!nee women were apprehended last week,
viz. Mary 'Herring, taken ,at Stournridge, Hannah
Smiih, at
,Bilslon, and Sarah.D.avis;alias Bevan, 'at
Walsal, all of •whom have been committed fur the
abOire.offence. 'As the crime ot'paSsing base coin
•has increased to an enormous extent, we think it ,
necessary to remark, that it is:the common Wake
of these people to go early into the markets, and to
purchase ;articles at any price demanded, with Pad
seven-shilling piecvs, &c. for which-they get change,
and thus an. additional evil is produced by raising the
inarket to exorbitant prices. .
