MANCHESTER., JAN. 6.

of ir took place :

Last night (Fiiday) during the representation
the interlude at the Theatre Royal (and during Miss
Paton's performance), a scene was acted in the dress
boxes which gill employ more than one legal gen,
tleman. On the previous evening some fancied cq
real insult had been offered to a manufacturer of
this town, at the assembly or bull, 1.):: an attorney,
and it was at this time that the manufacturer
thought proper to resent it. Ile came into the
boxes a la Berkeley, armed with a horsewhip, and
very unceremoniously set about belabouring d:-
attorney's shoulders in a most herculean tnanner.—
The audience immediately rose enwasJe. The whole
theatre was in a complete uproar. Many inchvidtulia,
scrambled from the pit 'into the boxes, with the,
seeming intention to take side with the attorney.—
it was not until the officers in attendance at -the
:heatre had begun to take a very active part in the
drama, that quiet could be restored, and the whippet`
and whipped ejected.
To-day the parties appeared before a Magistrate.
113;d truly the attorney cut a sorry figure : his Lei!
looked quite hideous. lle stated the fact of
.tht
assault, and the manufacturer_ was con3equenth'
hound over to the Sessions; but there can be little
doubt that it will be the cause of a civil action. !_.

Both gentlemen :are very respectably emmected,
and the affair is all the gossip of the day. .Th 6
insult is said to have been to the manufactureets wife.

DON MIGUEL.—On Friday mornitic Don
Mtuurn paid a vitit to the Victualling-office. ivhcr, he
was received by Sir Jnatts Gonloott, resident Commis,-
sloner ; T. MILLER, Esq., agent Victualler; It. Buz,
COCK, Esq., Clerk of the Cheque; and Joust Jams..s, Esq.,
Storekeeper. The Prince spent a considerable space of
time in inspecting the various offices, and seemed.to take
no small degree of interest in the different explanations
which were given him respecting the operations of they stz-
blislanent. In the weighing-house his !ligmess
and several of lii suite expressed a jocular desire to he

the Victualling-
oil'ee, his Royal Highness returned to tke Royal Hotel,
and took luncheon. He intended, at two o'clock, to visit
Mount Edgcumbe, but was prevented by the very unfa-
vourable state of the weather. In the evening his Royal
highness dined with Earl NORTUrsk. This evening the
Prince visits the theatre. We understand that his Itoyaf
Highness particularly desired that a list of comic pieces
should be laid before him to select from. On Monday
evening his Royal Highness gives a grand ball rod suppe::-
at WHIDDON'S, to which upwards of two hundred fashion-
ahles of the town and neighbourhood have been invited.—

A suspicion prevails that the Treasury is at
t:iis moment very low in funds, which, if just, may bring
financial matters earlier before the House of Commons-
than would otherwise be the case. The circumstance, we
htlieve, is true, on which the suspicion has been founded,
that an individual who had obtained a debenture ter
I,trge sum on the Treasury, was afterwards requested that
it might be withdrawn fur a short time; but as this may
be explained in other ways, the inference is not strictly a
necessary one.— Times.

Some of the considerable dealers in grain are

iodinggt in nine cases out of ten, are to be traced to specu-
lative and interested views; but it may be useful, when-
ever they are circulated, to draw public attention to them
~,t once. If without foundation, the matter will soon cos,
