FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE'.

THE RING.
(Prom the Court Circular.)

The following is a Copy of the Bulletin issued yesterday
afternoon by two of the KING'S Messengers

" King's Lodge, March 19.
" The Kirto had but little sleep last night. Ili. MAJESTY
is much the same as yesterday."

44 HENRY HALIFORD."
" MATTHEW JOHN TIERNEY."
" HENRY HERBERT SOUTHEY."

The Portuguzse Ambassador, the Bavarian Minister, anti a
number of Gentlemen of distinction, were waiting at the King's
Palace, in Pali-Mall, with much anxiety, in consequence of the
groundless reports which had been circulated. The Bulletin of
Saturday was only signed by Slr Henry Halford, the two other
Doctors being in London at the time of issuing the Bulletin,
but it will be seen by the Bulletin of yesterday_ they resumed
their attendance on the King yesterday morning. Sir Matthew
Tierney was sent for to attend the King on Wednesday, from
Brighton. On Friday, Sir Matthew Tierney came to London,
and reported to Mr. Secretary Canning, and several others of
the Cabinet Ministers, the state of the King. Dr. Southey at-
tends his Majesty for the first time since his appointment to be
one of the King's Physicians in Ordinary, except when the
King was slightly indisposed about twelve months since. Sir
Henry Halford remained with the King yesterday till about
one o'clock, when he left the Roy:-1 Lodge, and proceeded post
to London, and on his arriving at his residence in Curzon.
street, May-fair, he shortly after proceeded in his town carriage
to the Earl of Liverpool's house in Whitehall, to report the
state of the King yesterday, anti afterwards proceeded to the
hOuse of Mr. Secretary Canning to make a similar report.

RIOTS AT ,lIICK.LEY.—We are sorry to say that
the town of Hinckley has been in a state of agi-
tation and alarm since Monday last, in cons',
(pence of a disturbance which commenced on the
evening of that day, ,vt hen the frame-knitters
proceeded to break the windows and demolish
the doors and shutters of all the hosiers and
others connected with them, in the town. An
express was sent off to Coventry for the aid of
the military, who arrived with thestrictest promp•
titude about two o'clock in the morning. On
Tuesday the mob again assembled ;but the prin-
cipal inhabitants came forward with alacrity,
and were sworil in as special constables. The
Eliot Act was then read, and they dispersed
without doing further mischief.--(Leicester
Journal of March 17.)

A SUoCKING DISCO.% LILY was made last Mon.
day night in a field on the Roundlay road, near
Leeds, belonging to Mr. Wilson, butcher. After
milking the cows in the morning, the door was
locked up and a hay knife left in the mistal ; at
live o'clock in the evening this place was found
broken open,
and the hay knife taken out and
laid near the stack, close to which were found
the first joints of two fingers, apparently cut from
the left hand of a remote, with two other pieces of•
the same lingers. There is reason to suppose this
horrid transaction had been performed with the
hay knife, but upon whom, or miller what cir-
cumstances, remains.yet to be explanted.—(Don-
caster Gazette.)

There are considered to be more first-rate
houses at the west end of the town at this time to
be let furnished, than has ever been remembered.

TIIE THEATRES.

KING'S THEATRE.—II Barbiere 'di Siviglia was
once more performed on Saturday night. The
brilliancy and spirit of the music triumphs over
:the cloying effect of frequent repetition,
and it is
always heard with pleasure. Madame CARA•
DORI, as Rosina, introduced a French Romance,
which she sung with delightful taste and ex-
pression. The house was full.:
DRURY LANE THEATRE.--.KENNY'S new Opera,
Benyowki, was repeated on Saturday night,
to a crowded and fashionable audience. Many
judicious alterations have been .made in the piece;
and the last act, which was by much too long,
has been considerably curtailed.
COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.-011 Saturday,
that truly popular and deserving favourite of the
public, Mr. Faweerr, took his annual benefit,
and we are happy to say to a very full assembly.
After %VEBER'S Overture to Der Freischutz,
which the composer kindly led in the orchestra,
the Opera of Love in a Village was admirably
performed. 13RARAM was in brilliant voice,
and gave the music of Hawthorn with the accus-
tomed energy and spirit. He was rapturously
applauded in a song he introduced, called " The
burn of Chase," in which part of Where's cele-
brated Hunting Chorus is introduced with great
effect. FAWCETT threw a considerable portion of
humour into the part' of Hodge. FitaitEN, tts
Justice Woodcock, was inimitable; Mrs. DAVEN.•
!PORT'S Deborah was perfection. We never saw a
part better dressed or played. This last remark
also applies to Miss PAToN's RoSetta. In "
Heart's any own," and 44 Lo here the gentle
Lark," she was particularly happy. They were
both rapturously applauded.
HAYMARKET THEATRE.--TiliS house shortly
opens with a Comedy of KENNY'S. The hero
is LISTON ; and he is to appear as a well dressed,
fashionable, though somewhat silly gentleman.
ROTA G COBURG TRMATIt DAVIDGE
has become the Lessee of this house, and is at
present busied in making many salutary altera-
tions and hnprOvements in the stage and audience
departments, as Weil as a splendid portico in
front, which will 'be able to cow SUO persons
from the inclemency of the weather. The et

_ -
gagerlielaS are numerous and well selected, a list
of which we purpose giving in the course of the
week. Mr. DAvinoc's conduct to the widow of
his late partner, 11r. 13csG0t1011, claims our re-
spect and good wishes .for the success of his
arduous WiderUlkillg.
ADELPUI THEATBE.---SatUrthly night this po.
pular place of IlmllSetnent closed a successful.
season with the following farewell Address :
" LADIES AND GENTLEstEN,--After a season, rendered
most prosperous by your kindness, we heve arrived at the last
night; and we cannot:Mow you to depart from this house with.
nut expressing our deep and unfeigned gratitude for the marked
support with which you have honoured every one connected
with this establishment.

•
"The Dramatic Pieces, which have been produced for your
entertainment, have been invariably and eminently successful.
The Performers have one and all received from you that gene-
rous patronage which is at once the hest reward for their past,
and the surest guarantee for their future exertions.
CL" And the Proprietors, Ladies and Gentlemen, in the pro-
gress of their new and arduous undertaking, have been sup-
ported and rewarded far beyond their merits—far—far beyond
their hopes.---We trust the next season to see you here, cheer-
ful and cheering as I now See you, and I earnestly assure you,
that nothing shall be wanting on our parts to make you so.
Ladies and (Gentlemen..-. After to.mght the Drama will have
a holiday; but, as at other school,,, one young gentleman will
remain at the establishment (luring the vacation-.-I mean my
young brother om the concern—my friend 111 r. VA ; and, as
he will he alone, I hope and trust his friends will occasionally
come to see him. Our little theatre is comfortable now; and
we anxiously wish to guard against its taking cold.

the hunt upon a spirited.horse ; in crossing Stoke Cotnmou she

they were both Precipitated into the deepest part, containing
water from 11 to 13 feet in depth.
All the spectators were ap.

rode up and threw himself into the water, and rescued the Lady
amidst the universal admiration of those who witnessed the sou.
rageous act. It is understood the bady's name was Osborne:

NORTHUMBERLAND GENERAL ELECTION.
NEWCASTLE.HPONTYPIE, MARCH IB.—Not
for these fifty years have there been such active
preparations going forward toward gaining the
representation of the great and opulent County
of Northumberland as at present. Four Candi-
dates are now in the field, viz. THOMAS WENT•
WORTH BEAUMONT, and MATTtr cm; BELL, Esqrs.,
the present Members ; and Viscount IlowicK,
and the lion. HENRY THOMAS LI DDELL. The
canvass of the first-mentioned Gentleman (Mr.
Beaumont) has every where, so far, been of the
most favourable description. Neither in the
trammels of the Whigs, nor any other faction,
and the straight-forward advocate of liberal
principles, in every sense, he assures the free-
holders his only ambition is to he an 4' inde-
pendent and upright man, unconnected with
party, and to ,discharge his duty in Parliament
accordingly."--This. frank anti honest mode of
declaring himself induces a host of independent
minds to rally around hiM, anxious to give their
support to a man of such honourable and dish!.
terested pretensions. Both at llexham and Mor-
peth, last week, the people shewed their de-
votedness to the cause of independence, by
unyoking the horses from Mr. Beaumont's car-
riage, and drawing'him and his friends in triumph
to the respective market-places of the two towns,
where the Honourable Gentleman addressed the
assembled freeholders in a way that drew down
the greatest applause. The last accounts left
him canvassing in the Northern part of the
County, where, it would seem, there is a consi-
derable party of liberal-minded men equally
zealous in their efforts to secure the return to
Parliament of a man who aims at the senatorial
dignity solely with a view to the public good.
Unquestionably such men ought to be the Re.

presentatives of the People.— According to
the general opinion, the Honourable Mr. Lid.
dell, whose cause has been taken up most
enthusiastically, by a large portion of the free-
holders is pretty sure of being one of the two
sitting Members for Northumberland. Mr. Bell
most assuredly has considerable interest in the
county ; but there is such a strong popular cur-
rent running nt present in favour of the heir of
Ravensworth, that Mr. Bell's friends feel not
a little perplexed by the circumstance.--

. .
With regard to my Lord Ilowick, whom
all admit to be a very amiable and pro.
miring young man, the absolute decadence
of 'he 'Whigs in Northumberland would seem
to deny all favourable auguries at present
for the admission of that Honourable Gentleman
within the walls of St. Stephen's as a Member
for Northumberland. Speculate as we may, how.
ever, there will no doubt be again a severe con.
test at Alnwick. And it is possible enough, as
the old adage has it, that " strange things may
fall out between the cup and the lip."
