bassadors, and nearly 400 persons of distinction were present.
The suite of state apartments, furnished in a style of great
magnificence, being hung with silks of French manufacture,
was thrown open on the occasion, and was tastefully decorated
with flowers. The whole went off with great yelot, and the
company did not separate till a late hour.
Mrs. Angerstein opened her new residence, late the Earl of
St. Germains, in St. James's-square, on Thursday evening to
the hunt ton, with a grand ball and supper. The three spa-
cious and elegant drawing-roons were thrown open ; two of
them were appropriated to dancing, which were brilliantly il-
luminated and decorated with numerous pots of the choicest
flowers. The anti-room adjoining was set apart for refresh-
ments. The supper, which consisted of every delicacy, and the
wines of the choicest description, was laid out in the dining
parlours. The ball commenced soon after eleven. It was past
six in the morning before the whole of the company had left.
There were present upwards of 400 persons of the first distinc-
tion and fashion.

MRS. BLAND.

The principal singers and dancers of the Opera
House axe generously coming forward to aid the Benefit of
Airs. BLAND. The Proprietors of that Establishment have
taken the former services of that once charming, but now un-
fortunate, syren into consideration, and given their permission
for this powerful addition to the entertainment of the night,
which, with the many privileges granted by the Managers of
Drury-lane, Covent-garden, Haymarket, &c. &c. and the anxi-
ous desire of every theatrical person of merit and celebrity to
yield their share of talent, will enable the Committee of Gentle.
men who conduct the Benefit, to send forth as brilliant and
attractive a bill as has appeared for many years.
The Duke of Bedford has, in the kindest manner, whin•
teered the use of his Box, for the Benefit of poor Mrs. Bland,
on Monday next, and accompanier it by a very liberal dona-
tion ; the Thteltess of Northumberland has sent five guineas;
General Phipps, ten pounds; Mrs. Coutts has been so good us
to give ten pounds ; the , Vauxhall Gardens, fire giuneas;
Shakspeare Reid, Es.q. five'guineas; R. W. Ellisnan,-Esq. ten
pounds ; the Proprietor of the English Opera Ilouse, ten
guineas; A. Copeland, Esq. five guineas; an old friend, ten
pounds ; George Robins, Esq. ten guinea< Indeed, we are
persuaded, it ix only necessary to make the
acquainted with her, miserable state, both as to mental infirmity
and pecuniary 'want; to insure a corresponding subscription.
Mathews has, in the kindest manner, voluateered to play on
Monday for Mrs. Bland's Benefit. public thomughly
Macready has inclosed five guineas to Mr. Robins in aid
of poor Mrs. Bland's Subscription, and a kind letter, express.
ing his regret that, being 20 miles from London, he is unable
to mode' his gratuitous exertions on the benefit night.

TII,E cpAL,TKADE.

. . .
We .extract the follo.wing from a. Newcastle
Paper of Tuesday last It has become our
duty to record one of the most important alters.
tions in the Coal Trade of; this District .we have_
ever - had occasion to notice. The combination.
which has long, existed
.amongst the Proprieton.
of.the Collerios on the Tyne and Wear,. wain..
the last few days, has ceased. It has beettlbe.
practice.with these gentlemen to enter yearly
into engagements to restrict the quantity of Coals
sold every month by each Colliery. The period.
had now arrived for renewing this arrangement,.
but it was found that mrmuch.difference of °pi•
nion prevailed, some of the Coal-owners were so.
much dissatisfied with the limited portion es,
signed them to vend, that they could come to no
agreement, and therefore the Association was
dissolved. It has long been matter of surprize
to us how' such a combination should have eilat,
ed so long as it has done, consideriag:tbe op-
posing interests of the different persons by whom.
it was formed. As the market is materiallyre•
gulated..by the supply, the effect of their restric-
tion has been to keep up the price of Coals, aa
as nearly to equal the rate at which they were
sold during the height of the war, though every
other description of British produce has suffered
a depreciation of from 20 to 50 per cent. It ap•
pears probable therefore that the London consumer,
in addition to the reduction of 3s. 4d. per chaldron,
will experience a further reduction here, in price,
since it will.now be the interest of each Colliery
to sell as many coals, as it can, and the competiw
tion will have a natural tendency to lower the
price. Indeed, we hope soon to hear of some of
the wealthy.proprietors certifying the best New-
castle Coals at 265. instead of 32s.,per chaldron,
as at present. There is no measure,- perhaps,
better calculated than thus throwing open the
trade, to advance the prosperity of the town of
Newcastle, by increasing her traffic of every dew
scription, both at home and abroad."

A LUDICROUS PIG RACE.---feiterday the:town of Barnet
was busy to witness a novel scene of a pig race. Nine pigs,
which had been in training these three weeks, started for a
prize of 20/., which, after a severe contest, was won by a famous
Norfolk pig, belonging to Mr. Sharp; we understand that the
owner backed his pig against any pig in England for 1001.

A Philadelphia Paper of the 7th ult. says, that
his Majesty " the King of France" came passenger in the
steam-boat from Baltimore yesterday morning. This is the
person who asserss that he is the " real" Louis XVIII., and
concerning whom we published a letter yesterday.
The following advertisement fora wife appears I
in a New York paper:—" Wanted immediately, a
young lady of the following description (as a
wife)--with about 2,000 dollars as a patrimony,
sweet temper, spend little, be a good housewife,
and burn in America ; and as I am not more than
25 years of age, I hope it will not be difficult to
find a good wife. N.B. I take my dwelling in
South Second-street, No. 273. Any lady that
answers the above description will please to
leave her card.

NEW PLAN OF SEDUCTION.—A simple young
girl, living in Brussels, was lately the object of
a new species of seduction. Two young men
pretended to dispute the hand of the fair dam-
sel, and each sought her in marriage ; a third in-
dividual appeared, who called himself the father of
one of the lovers, and offered a thousand florins
as his son's portion. The damsel no longer hesi-
tated, but discharged the unfortunate pretender.
The result was reproaches and pretended duels
between the rivals, tears, outcries, consolements,
explanations, and general reconciliation. The
marriage was celebrated, but how and where ? in
la tavern at a frugal feast, where the marriage
was drawn up, and signed with a pencil. The
poor girl thinking herself a wife, retired at night
to the house of her husband. In the morning
she was undeceived, being turned out of doors ;
but the following day the husband was also un-
deceived. He was arrested, and the affair is now
before, the tribunals : the gay deceiver will
soon be taught that it is not permitted to marry
in jest.

DYR!,.TE V. PAIIKINIL

Mr. FRENCH, on the part of Mr. Parkins, moved the Court
to appoint a day for hearing the argument of the rule granted
in this case for a new trial. He made this arplication on an
affidavit, stating that Mr. Parkins had been hi attendance every
day this term, expecting his case to be heard, and had been re.
peatedly insulted and called " a robber" by the Flaintiff, even
within the verge ot• the Court.
The I.oun CHIEF .res•ercE said they could not take some
cases out of their order to the injury of the parties in others.
As they had given notice that they should not, this term, take
any more of the London and .Middlesex new trials, Mr. Parkins
would be relieved, at least for the present, from the annoy.
ances of which he complained.
Mr. Fa ENCII said he thought that the Court sometimes took
cases out of their order for the accommodation of parties.
Mr. Justice BAYI.EY said it was not the practice to do so,
and asked the Learned Counsel whether he could mention any
instance in which a rule for a new trial obtained in last term.
had been argued in the present?
Mr. FRENcu replied in the negative.
The Loan UnIEF JUSTICE said, then they could not do
what was asked to-day. Thy devoted to the public as much
of their time and strength as possible, and they could do no
more. The case must come on in its turn.—The motion WAS
therefore refused.

The Irish newspapers report an attempt to
murder a gentleman of the county of Limerick,
at his own door, which was frustrated by the re-
solution, and it might have been added, by the
exemplary agili►ty, of a female, who jumped out
of a two pair of stairs window to call out for
assistance ! The help arrived in time to secure
the intended murderers ; but, nevertheless, few
ladies, we suppose, have been driven to so despe-
rate an expedient for acquiring the use of their

MIDDLESEX SE:ISIONS, JAN. 15.

THE LONDON DOCK COMPINY V. THE PARISI! or

ST. JOHN, WAPPING.
This was an appeal against an assessment of poor-rate,
amounting to 15,0001. per annum on the London Docks.
Several witnesses were called to prove the real valuation but they differed most materially in their calculations and
opinions.
The CnAIItMAN. after hearing both sides, confessed the
case to be of difficult decision, frO-ai the variance of opinion
respecting it. lie did not for a moment doubt that 'the
trustees had a right to make a rate ; but his difficulty, was
in deciding upon the amount of that rate. Ile certainly
should not say that 7,800/. was a sum at which to rate the docks ;
whilst at the same time he was of• opinion it would be runningj, to the opposite extreme to estimate them at 15,0901. It would
be well, therefore, to steer between the two sums ; and the de-
cision of the Court was, that the premises should be rated at
10,000/. for the present ; and the parties, be thought, had bet-
ter meet and make an amicable adjustment.
Judgment was accordingly entered pro Throw, for 10,0099?.
as the sum at which the dock should be rated.

THE THEATRE3.

DRURT-LANE..- The new Opera, entitled
Philandering, was again represented last night
at this theatre, much curtailed, hut it still ex-
ceeds the length usual with such productions.—
The plot is more condensed, and is therefore
more intelligible, as it is divested of extraneous
matter. The performers all acquitted themselves
well, and the audience were more merciful in
demands for encores.—The house was crowded,
and the piece well received. We cannot
avoid noticing the unappropriate dresses of
the two pscudo-Troubadours, as evincing a
strange want of knowledge of the character.
Instead of appearing to be wandering minstrels,
as the name imports, they appear in what may
rather be considered as the morning habits of
two noblemen.

COTENT-GARDEN.—The excellent and popu-
lar Comedy of John Bull was repeated last night
before a very numerous audience, and the cha-
racters so well sustained in general, that the ap-
plause which attended it was nearly equal to
that which it received on its original repre-
sentation.

Mr. C. KEMBLE has been performing Falstaff
at Manchester, and it is understood that he
means to appear in that character on the London
Boards. The jovial spirit with which he per-
formed Friar Tuck, in • Maid Marian, gave a
good foretaste of the humours of the facetious
Knight. The late Mr. KEMBLY. intended to at-
tempt this character, and had prepared a dress
for the occasion, but relinquished the deiign.—
That he would have given a correct elucidation
of the text cannot be doubted; but it may be
fairly questioned whether he could have shown a
due portion of convivial jollity.
- CLARA FISMER k performing with success at
Exeter, and Mr. MacaEAor is now received
with equal favour in Dublin.

framburgh Papers to the 10th inst. reached us

interest which they contain :
HANOVER, JAN. 7.—A Notice, dated 31st December, has
been issued by the Cabinet Ministry, convoking th© States of
the kingdom for 20th February, 1824.

It is reported that a University will be erected in Brunswick.
This seems the more probable, as the University of Dolmstadt,
which formerly existed in the Duchy of Brunswick, and was
very celebrated, has been suppressed so many years.

ASSIZE- INTELLIGENCE

SUSSEX, HORSHAM, 11ARCR 22.
POST-OFFICE PROSECUTION.
Wm. George Anges, a young tnan, aged 17, son of the deputy
postmaster of Chichester, was indicted for stealing from the
post-office of that city, on Bth February, a letter containing
bank bills and notes to the amount of 1801., the property of
M essrs. Winter and Ridge, iron-merchants at Bankside, Surrey.
The prisoner was also indicted at common law for the offence
of stealing the same notes and bills. To this latter indictment
he pleaded guilty, upon an understanding that he should not
be prosecuted for the offence against the statute, whereby his
life would be in jeopardy.
Mr. Sergeant Owstow (with whom was Mr. NoLaw and
Mr, BOLAND), for the prosecution, stated, that in consideration
of the Prisoner's youth, he was not instructed to offer any evi-
dence upon the charge affecting the prisoner's life, and there-
fore upon that indictment the Jury would find the prisoner
not guilty.
The Jury found him Not Guilty accordingly; and for the
larceny he was sentenced to be transported for 7 years. The
prisoner was a young man of very respectable appearance.

ENNIS ASSIZES, 31Ancn 11.

AT TACK ON SIA Wm. READ.-Wm. Roughan and Wm.
Brady were arraigned for tiring and wounding the Rev. Sir W.
Read.
Sir William deposed, that, while riding along the deer park
wall of itaheens, on the sth of November last, he was fired at
from a gap in the wall ; he was wounded in the thigh and
shoulder; he immediately rode up to the gap, and saw three
men running off—identified the prisoners as being among those
whom he then saw; witness was one of the most active Magi-
strates in the county in putting down the Ribbonmen.
Several witnesses were brought forward to prove an alibi.
The Jury retired, and shortly after the Foreman informed the
Court that there was no probability of their agreeing to a ver-
dict—they were, however, again closeted, and, in about two
hours, acquitted the prisoners.

Ta..koicAr. EVENT.—The _Mode of Sunday
contains the following account of a fatal event which has just
occurred near Paris :—" Two families have recently been
plunged into consternation. M. de * * *, whose parents are
in affluence, and who had himself a fortune of 10,000 francs a
year, fell in love a year ago with Mademoiselle Brecourt, a
figurante of the Royal Academy of Music. "lie vigilance of
her mother, however, for some time obstructed die views of the
young man, who was waiting for an opportunity of carrying off'
the Lady. The mother having been apprised of his intentions,
applied to the Police for assistance, who arrested Mademoiselle
Brecourt at Bourg la Reine, when only half a league from M.
de * * 4`, who had appointed to meet her. Some time after-
wards, however, M. * * • succeeded in eloping with Made-
moiselle Brecourt to Bourdeux ; on their arrival in that town
he bought her diamonds and other expensive articles, and, in
short, was so extravagant, that at the end of a few months he
was destitute.—lle then wrote to a rich aunt at Paris to solicit
assistance, which she promised, upon condition of his aban-
doning his connection with Mademoiselle Brecourt. To this,
by the urgent intreaties of the young lady herself, lie agreed,
and they set out together on the 10th instant for Paris, where
it was proposed that they should separate. On arriving, how-
ever, at an inn near Paris, the idea of separation caused them
such violent despair, that they resolved to put an end to their
existence, and for this purpose put a quantity of lighted char-
coal (a common mode of suicide in France) into the room
where they slept, and in the morning they were found
suffocated."

THURSIMY EVENING, DEC. 2, 1824.

INntA.-;—A paragraph appeared in a Morning
Paper of this day, importing that an unfavourable
dispatch had been received, which came overland
from India, we find on enquiry to be without
any solid foundation.

There is no interesting news in the City, or
any noticeable reports on 'Change.

The recent inundations in Germany have been

the occasion of such extensive distress as must in-
terest the friends of humanity in every part of the
globe. Mr. .. R
OTIISCHILD and his amiable Lady,
who are always ready to assist distress as well as
to patronize merit, have humanely taken the lead,
and held forth an example of liberality, in order
to promote a subscription in this country for the
relief of the numerous sufferers by the melan-
choly and unexpected calamity alluded to. We

therefore trust that those who enjoy affluence
will follow the example of the truly respectable
pair whose names appear in the advertisement
which we gratuitously insert this day in another
part of our Paper.

Lisbon Gazettes from the ISth to the 201 h ult.

not contain any news from Brazil, but comment
