DON MIGUEL.

On Saturday the Prince embarked in the Airni-
ral's barge, under a royal salute from the batteries
' and ships in commission, and visited the Break-
water. Afterwards his Royal Highness went on
board the Britannia, flag-ship, where he partook
of a dejeune with Captain Hawker, and the officers.
His Royal Highness dined with Earl Northesk, at
whose house a limited number had the honour of
meeting his Royal Highness at dinner. In the
evening, a large party assembled, and his Royal
Highness amongst the rest joined in " the gay
and sportive" dance. Waltzing was the order of
the evening, and his Royal Highness seemed
highly delighted with the dancing, conversation and
appearance of the Plymouth ladies.
On Sunday the Prince and suite attended
divine service at the Roman Catholic chapel, at
Stonehouse, where mass was performed and a sermon I
preached by the Rev. J. Costello. Afterwards his
Royal Highness embarked at the Victualling Office
Steps in his own barge, which is a very splendid one,
under a royal salute from the Citadel and Batteries, I
and went on board the Portuguese frigate and brig, 1
lying in the sound. His Royal Highness dined at
the Royal Hotel. 1

On Monday the Prince attended a review of the
troops on Government Parade, Moupt Wise, where
he was received with royal honours, and in the
evening he dined with Major-General Sir John
Cameron, at the Citadel. After dinner, Lady Ca-
meron gave a grand ball at the Lieut.-Governor's
house, and dancing, in which his Royal Highness
joined, was kept up to a late hour.
On Tuesday the Prince enjoyed the sport of
shooting in the woods of Saltrain. His Royal High-
ness's party bagged a large quantity of game. In
the evening his Royal Highness entertained the Ad-
miral, the Lieut.-Governor, and Capt. Hawker of
the Britannia, at dinner.

On Wednesday (yesterday) the Prince was to
have gone out hunting with Mr. Bulteel's hounds,
but having promised to patronise the ball in the
evening, his Royal Highness was unwilling to fatigue
himself during the day, and therefore gave up the
pleasures of the chace. In the afternoon his Royal
Highness visited the Citadel, where he inspected the
fortifications, and partook of a dtfrune at the Lieut.-
Governor's-house. His Royal Highness dined at
the Royal Hotel.

The ball was, as might have been expected, at-
tended by every family of consequence in the neigh-
bourhood. The Prince mingled with the dancers,
and seemed to enjoy the scene extremely. His
Royal Highness was dressed in plain black clothes,
and wore a single star upon his breast.
The Marquis and Marchioness de Palmella ar-
rived on Thursday last, and joined Don Miguel at
the Royal Hotel. There will he a grand parade on
the Hoe, this morning, at half-past eleven o'clock.
His Royal Highness dines this day with the Lieu-
tenant-Governor, Major-General Sir John Cameron,
at the citadel. We are authorised in stating that
tlr Prince has been in the highest degree delighted
with his reception and hospitable entertainment in
Plymouth, and that lie is particularly gratified and
surprised by the nature and extent of the accommo-
dation afforded to him at the Royal Hotel. Indeed,
his Royal Highness could not have been better ac-
commodated even in a Nobleman's mansion ; and
there are but few Inns in the kingdom which could
afford such convenience as the Plymouth Royal
Hotel. Built by the Corporation, whose property
it is, on the most liberal scale, it is in fact more like
a palace than an inn. The Prince occupies five
suites of apartments, each room of which is extremely
elegant and spacious. Some idea may be formed of
the extent of these apartments, when we state that
the frontage of one half of them occupies a space of
300 feet. The internal comfort of the house has
particularly excited the admiration of the Prince and
his suite.—Plymouth Journal.

We have authority to state that the Master
and Fellows of Jesus college have obtained from their Vi-
sitor, the Bishop of Er.v, a new statute, which has been
confirmed by the Crown, and which removes the present
restriction with regard to the election of an equal number
of Fellows from the Northern and Southern counties, and
enables the Society to elect Fellows, without any such re-
striction, from any part of England and Wales. The new
statute is to take effect at the expiration of five years.—
Cambridge Chronicle.

FIRE IN HART-STREET.--TATS morning at
ten o'clock, the remains of the youth who acted as pot-boy
to Mr. CAIN were dug out of the ruins. The body pre-
sented an appalling aspect. The face was not much in-
jured, but nearly the whole of the flesh, from the chest
downwards, was burnt off. Front the position in which
the body was found, it would appear that the unfortunate
youth never rose from his bed, probably being sound
asleep after the fatigues of the day. Not far from the body
the bed was picked up, yesterday, and the right hand Was
close to the side of the head, as if he had pillowed his head
with his hand. The left arm was lying nearly parallel to
the body. This is the fifth body that has been dug out,
and it is believed that another unfortunate still remains in
the rubbish. No clue has yet been found to ascertain the
origin of the fire. Throughout the whole neighbourldod
universal sympathy and regret is expressed for the fate
of the individuals, who in an instant :were placed
in the hands of death. The bell of St. Olave's church
has this morning been tolling as a mark of respect to those
who have met so dreadful a fate. The exertions of the
men to clear away the loose rubbish are continued, and it
will be soon ascertained whether or not any other pe,aon
has been destroyed. The quantity of wood taken out is
very great, and had the house been more strongly built at
the bottom, would have burned for a very long time. The
body found this morning was carried to the workhouse,
where it is understood an inquest will be held this after-
noon. Since writing what precedes, we hear that there
are certainly the bodies of two more persons in the ruins.
The precise number of inmates could not be correctly
ascertained, as it is said some of the young men who
lodged in the house had one or two of their acquaintances
to sleep with them. The crowd collected on the spot is
very great this morning, and at the turn of every beam or
rafter anxious looks are_ directed to the spot, to ascertain
whether there are other victims to the devouring element I
to be discovered.

The Chelmsford Chronicle, in remarking 02
the late fire, observes with some plausibility, that if every
housekeeper was obliged to keep and produce, under such
circumstances, a 10 feet ladder, and these ladders were
made upon a plan to unite, an escape of sufficient length
might he obtained in a few minutes to reach the highest
floor in the metropolis. Let the experiment proposed be
tried by any ten persons, we think if once exhibited it
would he generally adopted.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL,

A Court of Common was held yesterday
for the general despatch business, and also, in
pursuance of a requisition, "to consider the propriety
of presenting petitions to both Houses of Parliament,
founded on the resolutions of the Court on the 9th
of Mal last, relative to the Corporation and Test
Acts.'3

After the minutes of the last Court had been
read—

ABUSES IN THE COAL. TRADE.

A person named Bradford (we believe) had a pe-
tition presented for him, in which he called the at-
tention of the Court to several very gross frauds,
which, he said, were practised on the public by the
persons employed by the city as labouring land coal-

meters.
The petition was referred to the Corn and Coal
Committee.
The Court next proceeded to the election of the
several city officers. All those lately engaged were
re-elected without opposition.
