FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

The Earl and Countess of Surrey, at the Marquis of Staf-
ford's seat, at Richmond, from their seat, Worksop Manor,
Notts; Countess de Grey, at her house in St. James's-squart„
from her seat, Putney Heath; Count Munster, from Brighton ;
Colonel Compton, at Long's New Hotel, Clifibrd-street, Bond-
street, from Bath ; Capt. Stourbridge, at ditto, from Brighton.

A letter from Bayonne, dated 27th December,
mentions that an Amnesty Decree had been made
out, and ready for publication for some time;
but it had been stopped, and its object com-
pletely paralysed by the Corps Diplomatique,
who are divided in their opinions, some of them
deeming this beneficent act of FI:aDINAND VIE.
to be too generous, and others too rigorous and
cruel.

Mr. Secretary CANNING is considerably re-
covered from his attack of the gout. On Mon-
day the Right Hon. Gentleman was able to at-
tend to his official duties at the Foreign Office.
The Marquis Of TICIIFIELD, we are sorry to
hunt., is much indisp )sed at his father's (the
Duke of PonTLAND), in St. James's-square.
EPIPHANY.--Yesterday being the Anniversary
of • the Epiphany, or the 'Manifestation of our
fiord and Saviour to the Gentiles, the same was
observed at the Chapel Royal, St. James's, when
the ceremony of offering gold, frankincense, and
myrrh, in imitation of the Wise Men of the East,
was performed by Mr. MAsH, the Gentleman
Usher in Waiting, as representative of his MA-
JESTY, assisted by a Gentleman Usher and.
daily waiter, who presented three elegant gold
bags, containing gold, franLincense, and myrrh,
at the altar, which was received by the officiating
clergyman.
A collector of gems, a few days ago, met with
a curious cameo-ring of StIAICEspEAttr. at a pawn-
broker's shop at the West End of the Town. -It
is raised on an onyx, in a very ancient gold
setting, and of the best workmanship in seal-
engraving, in the reigns of ELIZABETH and JAMES.
The gem certainly cannot vie with the works of
DIOSCORIDES and PyituoToLEs, who, as gem-
engravers, grace the age of Ar.ExANDER ; but con-
sidering the low state of the polite arts in Efig.
land in the 15th and 16th centuries ; it is a
spirited and masterly bust of our immortal Bard
and bears every characters, of having been exe-
cuted during the life of that LeAiathan in Eng-
lish Poetry, and ornament of the British Nation.

BOW-STR EET—(TMIS Neale Viller
was put to the bar, charged with having stolen a
very considerable quantity of sugar, the property
of some person or persons unknown. The pri-
soner was stopped by Nixon and Jones, the offi-
cers, last night about eleven o'clock, and, from
the contradictory stories he told, a suspicion was
excited that some burglary had been committed,
and that the property in question formed apart
of that stolen. He was remanded until Wednes-
day week to afford time for inquiry.
SUICIDE.----An unfortunate gentleman, named
CARSON, put a period to his existence on Mon-
day evening-, at his lodgings in Oxford-road, by
a process not generally resorted to—namely,
bleeding to death. The deceased was a native
of Germany, and was for many years attached to
the medical staff of the army. under the command
of the late Duke of Brunswick, in whose suit he
first visited this country. On the conclusion of
the peace, he threw up his appointment, and
exercised his profession whenever opportunity
served ; but, unfortunately, he had neither friends
nor interest to press him-into notice, amid the ta-
lents of a really clever man were buried in the
obscurity of a mean garret that he occupied lu
the house of a huckster woman, while their pos-
sessor pined away in indigence, poverty, and
want. Being arrived, it is presumed to the
plus ultra of human misery, he applied on Satur-
day to a foreign gentleman, who had known
him abroad, for a trilling pecuniary aid ; but the
boon was denied, and he returned home wHi
that dreadful resolve which he has scow so fatally
put into execution. About four o'iock on Mon-
day evening he returned home, and complainiurt
of illness, said he should go to bed, and desired.
Isis landlady not to disturb him on any account.
This good-natured woman, however, thinking he
would require a little aliment of some sort, re-
solved to disobey his mandate ; and in order to
let him have some chocolate (his favourite be-
verage) she opened the door of his room, where
he lay weltering in his blood, which was still
trickling from the main artery of each arm, which.
he had opened, the lancet stili remaining in
his right hand. He was then not quite cold. A
surgeon was immediately procured, but too late
—the vital spark had tied for ever.
