BUSHY l'A'itK

Mr. ORD wished to know it the Right Honour-
able Gentleman opposite, could give him any init,r-
mation •sart the subject to which he had called his
attention in the course of the week, namely, the
proceedings at Bushy Park-?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER bad lost
no time in giving dire Lions for an inquiry to be
made. A report on the subject had not yet been
made to the Treasury ; it was not, however, in his
power to do mote than to give orders on the very
next morning fur an inquiry. He understood the
trees, though lopped, so as to impair their beauty at
present, were lopped with a view of improving their
future appearance:

Mr. ORD thought, if the Right Hon. Gentleman
would takd' a two hours ride to the spot, he would
change his opinion.
The Pilots' Bill was read a second time, and com-
mitted for Thursday se'unight.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought in
a B:11 to repeal the Att for regulating the Otlice of
Serjeant at Aims, &c.--Read a first; and ordered
to be
,read a second titne on Thursday,, and to be
printed.
_ The Naval Stores Embezzlement Bill was read a
third time and passed.--7-Adjourned.

My. truly original and beautiful Ro-
mance lately published, calle The Milesian chief,
has furnished a celebrated Dramatist with the sub-
jea of a new opera, which is in a state of great for-
wardness.

The Post-Office Clerks, Sorters, and Lett&iCar-
riers, expect to work double tides this week, in
consequence of VA L ENTI NE'S-DAY falling.on Friday,
and the multitude of Commissions likely to arrive
from all parts of the kingdom for Tickets and Snares
in so unprecedented a Liitte Lottery.Scherne, with
20,0001 Prizes as that which will he drawn on
TUESDAY Next.

A laughable circumstance occurred at the Opera
House a . few evenings since :—The Honourable
Mrs. H-- C—, in the confusion that takes
place in the Lobby, on quitting the Theatre, dropped
her ridicule, and was some minutes before she re-
gained it ; when, in looking at its contents, she ex-:
claimed, " I have lost my DUPLICATES !" This
created surprise, not that the Company bad any.
doubt when the Lady pledged her word, but they
thought she had pledged her jewels, However, on
inquiry, it turned out that the lost Duplicates were
Two Tickets of one number (which she had pur-
chased that evening) in the. Lottery to be drawn
the NEXT TUESDAY : luckily she .soon after found
them, and anticipates getting 40,0001. by them.
A most daring and singular attempt to rob the
public-house, situate at the Toll-gate, called Pease-
Pottage-gate, on the Cuckfield road to London, and
about 23 miles from hence, we hear, was made in
the night of Wednesday last. Towards the evening
of that day, a person, decently attired as a female,
applied at the above house for refreshments and a
bed, both of which were obtaineo. Soon after she
retired to, the latter, the maid of the house-hinted
her suspicions to her master, that the. -stcanger she
had lighted up stairs was a man disguised in wo-
man'S clothes; and if so, that the entrance he had,
gained into the house could not have been effetted
for any laudable purpose. After much had been
said on the subje&, three or four persons who hap-
pened to be drinking in the house, made an offer
of sitting up all night in the tap-room, in the dark,
to countera& any bad design that ,might have been
concerted against aught within the premises. This
offer was accepted, and the landlord, &c. as ad-
vised, soon after retired to bed likewise, that no
suspicion of what was decided upon should reach
the stranger above stairs. The house had been quiet
for some time; but, at length,. the
,sound of foot-
steps, as of some-person cautiously descending the
stairs, was heard by those below, and some one,
soon after, from within, made an essay to open the
front door, but that was not to be effeeted, as the
landlord had wisely taken the key from the lock be-
foie lie ascended to his chamber. The disappointed
individual now sounded a whistle, and footsteps
were distinetly heard from without. At this criti-
cal *Clore the party on the watch rushed forward,
Secured the mysterious personage onithe inner-side
of the door, and the suspicions of the house-maid
were presently after confirmed. It is added, that
the deteaed ruffian, after due examination by a
Magistrate, has been fully committed for trial.
In consequence of the.discovery by Humphreys,
a few days since, of a gang of thieves parading
Bond-street, and attempting to commit robberies,
the parish of St. George have Offered a re ward'Of 101.
for the apprehension of such characters---21. 10S. to
be paid on their apprehension, and the remaining
71. los. to be paid -on their conviaion. Also a re-
ward of tel. on the convittion of persons lound
with implements of house-breaking on them. This
no doubt will art as a stinialus; as it' will pay offi-
cers for their time and expences.
The parish of Christ Church, Surrey, has Offered,
a reward for the appTehension of street-robbers, ,
and 51. for the apprehension of persons fonnd with
implements of house-breaking in their possession.
