LO R's Company of Cultist ream Guard, whose decla.
ratioturespeeting the Park Ghost we yesteiday pub-
lished, was brought before it Rt CH AR p FOR p, to bc
interrogated respeeting the sight he was supposed
to have seen. Previokk to hii. examnination, Mr.
STAFFORD, the Chief Clerk, endevoured to find
dut whether his imagination had received any im-
pressions from reading any diimal story, or .if he
had,• at the time the phantom appeared ru him, suf-
fered,the story of the HammersMith Ghost to dwell
on his mind, itvorder, if possible, to ascertain' if'he
had been misled by his fancies. To these questions
he answered in the negative. On being asked re
speding.the strange objeEt he had seen, he solemnly
declared, that he. was ready at any time to make
oath to what he had stated, and that he firmly be-
lieved he had seen .a
Ghost. He detailed every thing
in Court as near as possible to what we yesterday
inserted under his nwn signature.

THE THE ATR r.—The Com'tdy of 7:'e Conntrc
Girl, or rather Mrs. JORDAN, and Cinderella, COM.
pletely filled Drury LaneTheatre)ast night. lYlrs..
JORDAN is quite at home in such charafteri as Miss
Peggy, and her attraElion when she appears in those
cliaraaers is the natural and proper effeet Of her•
genuine comic humour. She plays with admirable'
,
spirit and true naivrti.

'I'HEIA MAJESTIES were to, have honoured Co.
vent Garden Theatre last night, and had commanded
the new Opera of The-English Fleet, with the Farce
of Raising. the Wind.' But in the morning His
-MA; EsTY found himself,so much of z..cled by the
rheumatism, that he declined his intended visit to
the Theatre. The same dramatic pieces were re-
presented, and the house was very_well attended.
The boxes appropriated to the Royal Family ap-
peared in their state attire, but nobody of course
was perniitted to enter
_them. - INC LE DON came
forward and made an apology for the absence of
Mrs. GLOVER, who was, rendered incapable of per-
forming by.a fall :s she, was going,to the Theatre.
The Surgeon who was ICAled in sent a letter to the
Theatre, communitatingbthis unpleasant .acCident.
The part was assigned to Mrs. St, LEGEtt, who had
no time to prepare herself by study, and ,who•there-
. fore was, obliged to aft with the book in her hand..
Under this disadvantage 'however she entered into
the charaaer with great spirit, and rendered it very
forcible and impressive.
Among the novelties forth-coming Pst Covent-
GardenTheatre, is a musical entertainment written

by .IYlr., RANNIE, a gentleman who has produced
rtiany
we
effusions of considerable merit. This
piece, we understand, will have the powerful re-
commendation of some original music from SHIELD.
Kat civr has'not yet left Covent Garden Theatre.
He is at present absent on account of indisposition.
A considerable party of the theatrical \Vofld
.yesterday, very much to their honour, had a Din.
ner at th 4. Garrick's Head, in Bow-srreet, for the
laudable. purpose of assisting the Widow'of the late
Mr. SPE:icEi.- •

It is said that Mr. ERsic I TIE differs very materi_
ally with the ATTORNEY and SOLICITOR GENERAL
respetling some essential paints in. the Volunteer
service.

Mr. SAMUEL. LYSONS, who has been recently
appointed Keeper of the. Rolls and Records of the
Court of Chancery in the Tower of London, is a
Gentleman well known for his taste in the Arts, and
knowledge of British Antiquities.
The late Miss PELHAM survived her father ex-
aElly 'half a century. On his death, in 17j+, she
was addressed in consd!atory •Veres, both by MA-
SON and GAr licx, of whom the former thus com-
memorates his having passed sotne time in her com-
pany

Attend that Muse, who late in happier hour,
Heard thy soft voice its tuneful powers employ ;
Where D'Aitcy call'd to Chiswick's social howet
. Dlild mirth, and polish'd ease,' and decent joy.

Though she lived in the practice of much benevo.
fence, she died very rich. Her property is divided
amongst her nephews. The estate in Surrey, the
,celebrated Esher Place, goes to Lord SONDES; that
in Essex to the Hon. HENRY WATSONI and her
personal property to the Hon, GEORGE WATSON.

Tim Sernion-which was addresse I to this t✓otpS,
on Tuesday, janu'ary•j, 184, in Ranelagh Rutum.-
da, at the presentation of Colours, has been de.-.
sofvedly, praised, and may rank with the very best
Discourses of the same kind that have been deliver
ed on similar at casions. The Rev. JAmEs Moottk,
L L. B. Honorary Chaplain to the Regiinent, an'S
one of the evening preachers at the Foundling
pital, who delivered this Sermon, has been indtiee,i
ro.print it by the condescending apprObati:,m.ot
MAJESTY, to whom it is. addressed, and by whboi
the Colours were given. Thinkirg with the Preach 4
that 'the objet of the present hostility on the parr
of France, unlike the ordinary .warfare sof civiliz tI
nations, is not merely the extin6ion of Natii.n.,i
Prosperity, but_ absolutely_ our destrutlion as an In.:
dependent People, we conceive it, to be our duty to
take every possible means to assist in.-elverting so
dreadful a calamity. We therefore 'shall extract a
part of the Sermon allUcled to, just observing that
the text is taken frimi Nehemiah, iv. 9. "
made our prayer unto God, an.l.set a•watch against
them day and night, because of. them." A text
very applicable to the present moment., when ‘‘e
ought to be constantly upon the witch against the
designs of the must crafty, inveterate, an:l
fill Enemy that ever attempted to overthr.o*-
security, and. destroy the happiness of. are, Inde,„
'pendent State. •

" Thus threatened, as the Jews of old'wete, by ene.
mies who would come upon us.unawares ; and sere_
sible, as in their case, that every thing most dear
to us depends upon the issue of the present coniest ;
we,too have happily•set .a " watch" against the ad.
versary—such a watch" as, we (cost, he will not
be able to elude;-- ". a watch" composed of all tii6
'strength and. flower of the country;--such "a watch"
as proves that Britons. are united as one man, .to
maintain their laws, liberties, and priyileges, in de-
spite of the 'presumptuous menaces of an envious ani
vi4ed tyrant. In defence of these•blessings, ive
have the satislgtion. to see all arena us, high and
low, rich and poor, noble and•untitled, subjecting
themselves together to the same discipline, submit:-
ting together to the same, labours ; nut from a wild
and visionary conception, that all men are equal, as.
if society could exist for a day
,without its difFe.rent:
ranks and gradations, but because all feel an equal
interest in opposing the designs of Prance,'—bei.
cause all Britons are equally proteded by law in their
persons and roperties,—because we are all equal!y
attached to a land unrivalled for the happiness of its
inhabitants. In defence of these blesings, we.see
men of all persuasions, sects, and parties, men who
upon other points differ in opinion,universaily agreed
in a's ;. that at the present critical conjundure•oor
" Jerusalem must be, as a city which at unity with.
in itself,"—that all contention roust now :cease,
safe who Shall be foremost to oppose the invader—
that we must iltt.) have nodebate,. hut respetting ,
the best , means of retaining the:advantages we
enjoy. A spirit of unanimity percales ou island,
exceeded by nothing of which we read in any pe-riot.t.
of historY. We have but..nne heart to estimate; nd
one hanci,l9 maintain die blesiugc for which we
