BRIGHTON, APRIL 1.

The Right Hon. Sir B. BLocimrIELD and Lord MOUNT
CHARLES returned to the Pavilion early this afternoon.
His MAJESTY, in the presence of the Master of the Horse,
the Lord Steward, the Marquis of,Anglesay, and other noble
personages, before dinner, was graciously pleased to honour
Sir B. Blciomfield with the Ribbon of the Bath.
The Royal Dinner Party to-day, in addition to his Majesty's
immediate suite, included Lord Sandon, and Mr. and -Mrs.
Villiers.

The Countess Bathurst, Lady G. and Lady Bathurst, Mr.
W. Locke, and Mr. De Roos, joined the Royal Suite and
guests after dinner.
Lord Lowther took leave of the King, and departed for Lon-
don this morning.
Sir George Nayler, the officiate of Sir Isaac Heard, Garter
King at Arms, arrived at the Pavilion at one o'clock this after-
noon, but has since left to return to London.

The weather to-day has been cold--A strong wind, North by
East, has predominated, menacing destruction to the early
shoots and plants, which the late mildness of the season had
brought to premature vegetation. But very few of our fashion-
able residents have ventured to appear abroad to-day.

SOUTHEND.—This pleasant place of late years has had a
good share of company every Easter, and if we may judge
from the arrivals at present, it will not be 'deficient this year.
—lts vicinity to .the metropolis renders it particularly, eligible
to those who at this season of the year would seek a temporary
cessation from their Parliamentary labours, or retire a while
from the great theatre of business and pleasure, Owing to the
peculiar mildness of the season the wooded cliff's already form
a beautiful gradation of verdure down to the edge of the sea,
and the nightingales.have commenced thus early their enchant-
ing strains. The hounds are also in the neighbourhood, and
contribute much to the life of this interesting spot.

Mr. HUME, Mr. HUME, •
Too much you presume—
Return to your drugs and your lancet,
You may then probe and cut,
•
For you 'i.e only a butt,
Inene'er in the Senate you prance it.
But if, Mr. HUME,
You still will presume
In reductions to make a greatfigure—
You will starve many clerks
By your flimsy remarks,
While the rest of mankind will but snigger.

So return, Mr. HUME'',
To the Dissecting. Room,

,
Be content with your East India pelf,
Since this is quite clear
You are no Financier,
And are only dissecting yourself'.

ROYAL HUNT.—On Friday a fine deer was turned out at
Langley Broom for the day's diversion. The day was very
fine, and the turning out was attended by a numerous field of
sportsmen. The deer at first took towards Iver, -taking to the
left through the inclosures between Stoke and Stowe, where he
crossed the Bath road near Salt-hill, and then ran' with great
speed down to the sight of Dancy, towards the Thames, and
crossed the water near Dove Plain. The sportsmen went by
Maidenhead Bridge and Bray, and renewed the chace in the
woods situate near St. Leonard's-hill and Winkfield-plain, at
which place the deer passed near the residences of Lord ILO.-
COURT and Squire DAWSy taking to the left towards Cran-
bourne, where he got into Windsor Great Park, which he
crossed, and came over Winkfield-green, down Cooper's-sill
to the left of Egham, where he crossed the Thames, near
Staines, through the, fields and meadows, to the left of Cole-
brook. This fine deer was taken after a long chace within half
a mile of the place from which he started in the morning.—
Many of the Windsor sportsmen gave up the chace near Wink
field Plain, and returned to Windsor, not expecting the deer
would cross the Thames a second time. The ground was in
excellent state for hunting.
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE TEMPLE.—Some very material
alterations and improvements are takirig place in the Temple.
The Fountain Garden, as it is called, is widened to nearly the
whole extent of the court, and it is to be divided into compart-
ments, each forming a small shrubbery. The whole is en-
closed with a handsome cast-iron railing, and the public path
will be from New Court, through the heart of the New Garden,
to the Knights Templars' Chapel.
The elegant residence of the Duke de Frias, late Spanish Am-
bassador, in Portland-place, is taken for Count Chateaubriand,
the newly-appointed French Ambassador, whose arrival is daily
expected.
TITHES.—The ,following is said to be the first Charter
for tithes in England s—l, Ethelwolf, by the Grace of God
King of the West Saxons, &c. with the advice of the Bi-
shops, Earls, and all other persons of distinction in my do-
minions—have for the health of my soul, the good of my
people, and the prosperity of my kingdom, taken the prudent
resolution of granting the tenth part of the lands throughout
my whole kingdom—to the church and ministers of religion, to
be enjoyed by them, with all the privileges of a. free tenure,
and discharged from all the encumbrances incident to lay
fees. This grant has been made by us to the church—in ho-
nour of Jesus Christ—the Blessed Virgin, and all Saints—
and out of regard to the paschal solemnity, and that Almighty
God might vouchsafe his blessing on us and our posterity.—
Dated at Wilton, Anno Domini, 854, at the feast of Easter.

Yesterday morning a concourse'Of persons were attracted
to a spot of ground, called " the Ruins," near St. George's-
fields, to witness a pitched battle between two women,
residing in Kent-street, in the Borough. 'Both the combat-
ants had their hair cut off for the occasion, and appeared on
the ground in close short bed gowns, secured at the waist
by a handkerchief; a ring was formed by the men locking
hands, and every thing being in readiness, the amazons
entered, attended by two other ladies, who were to act as
seconds, and immediately set-to. Both exhibited very good
science in manoeuvring for the first blow, which was at length
planted on the nose of one, whom the other called by the
name of " Sall," who in' her turn let- loose, and a furious
rally, with equal advantages, followed, until the said Sall got
floored. They fought in the whole betiveen 16 and 20 rounds,
and at length Sall received a dreadful blow in her stomach,
which closed this disgraceful scene.

The 10th and 15th regiments, forndng the garrison of these
towns, were brigaded yesterday morning (Friday, 29th ult.) on
Loborough Down, by Major-General Sir PENIS PACK, 1C.C.8.,
who was much pleased at their fine and soldier-like appearance,
and the precision with which they performed their various ma-
nteuvres.--{Plymouth Telegraph.)
His Majesty's ship Salisbury, from Portsmouth, anchored in
the Sound on Wednesday last. The 72d regiment lately
arrived in England, after an absence of 16 years, and which
was ordered hithey to relieve the 10th, is, we are sorry to say,
detained at Cumberland Fort, ,n consequence of an epidemic
disorder which prevails so extensively that none of the men
are permitted to leave their barracks.—(Exeter Gazette.)
