FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

The Duke of York took an airing in his chariot on
Wednesday afternoon through St. James's Park, where
his Royal Highness viewed the building erecting for
his future residence, &c. Sir Herbert Taylor, his
Royal Highness's Military Secretary, did not transact
military business with the Royal Duke yesterday, on
account of Sir Herbert having appointed to hold a
levee at his office in the Horse Guards.

On Thursday and Yesterday the Duke of York
rode out on horseback for a lengthened time.
The Duke and Duchess of Clarence removed on
the 10th instant from Ens to Holstein.

Thursday evening, about seven o'clock, Mr. Havi-
land, the 'King's Messenger, arrived at the Foreign
Office, in Downing-street, with despatches from Sir
Henry Wellesley, the British Minister at Vienna.
Some importance was attached to the despatches, from
their being sent off by a special messenger to Mr.
Secretary Canning, at Mr. Planta's house, Fairlight,
near Hastings.
Yesterday, despatches were received at the Colonial
Office, from Quebec.

The Earl of Westmoreland transacted business yes-
terday, at the Foreign Office.
Yesterday, the Bishop of London transacted busi-
ness at the Secretary of State's Office for the Home
Department.
The Rev. James Aspinal, the active Chairman of
the Committee for the Relief of the Distressed Ma-
nufacturers at Rochdale, has been appointed Minister
of the new Church of St. Michael's, Liverpool, by
the Corporation of that town.
In Trinity Term last, Alexander Haldane, Esq. was:
called to the Bar by the Benchers of the Honourable
Society of the Inner Temple.
Neapolitan Loan of 2,500,0001., negotiated by Mr.
N. M. ROTirscHILD in London.—The Half-yearly
Dividends in this Loan falling due on Tuesday, the
Ist August next, will be paid on that and every suc-
ceeding day, between the hours of ten and two, at
Mr. N. ROTHSCHILD'S Counting-house, New-court,
St. Swithin's-lane. It is requested that the warrants,
with a list thereof in numerical order, may be left one
day for the purpose of being examined.

Some new regulations, to be embodied, we under-
stand, in an Order of Council, are in progress, by
which foreign silks will be kept out of the market ; or,
at all events, a fair protection given to our own manufac-
tures for some time longer; without at all compromis-
ing the principles of free trade. If this be the case, it
will be a sad disappointment to the French manufac-
turers, who were REGULATION
to glut our markets.
NEW ALIEN REGULATION BILL.—As many
doubts have been entertained with regard to the in-
terpretation of the new Alien Regulation Bill, it will
be acceptable to foreigners to know, that upon the
third reading of that bill on the sth of May last, in
answer to a question from Mr. Hudson Gurney con-
cerning the wording of the clause, calling for the in-
tended, is well as actual, residence of aliens, Mr.
Peel was understood to have distinctly stated, that
nothing was meant to be enforced, but that they
should report themselves once in six months from the
places where they then were ; and that those who were
merely travellers in the country might so return them-
selves."

A Russian Officer, named Valensky, who had a com-
mand in the Persian expedition, bad once been beaten
by the Emperor Peter's order, mistaking him for another.
" Well," said Peter, " I am sorry for it, but you will
deserve it one day or other, and then remind me that
you are in arrears with me ;" which accordingly hap-
pened upon that very expedition, and he was excused.
. PomTzti.—ln the extevation lately made at Pain-
, peii several very curious discoveries have been made.
One of the most interesting is a house, which, to
judge from the tablets found in it, must have been in-
imbued by a dramatic poet. There have also been
discovered a marble statue 'of Cicero, and bronze
statue of the Emperor Nero. At the door of the
house of the dramatic poet; a dog is couched, with
this inscription—" Cave Canem ;" which would
have been, says our correspondent, a symbol still
better suited for the abode of a theatrical critic.--
Leizic Literary Gazette.
ATING EXTRAORDINARY.—SOMe short time
ago, there was a famous eating match at a village in
Yorkshire, between two men, named Gubbins and
Muggins, which caused a greal of deal of interest in the
neighbourhood, and a countryman leaving the place a
little before the match was decided, was stopped by
almost every one on the road with " Who beats ? how
does the match get on ?" &c. &c., to which bean-
swered, " Way, I doant exactly knave--they say Gub-
bins 'll get it ; but I thinks Muggins 'll beat 'un yet,
for when I leak he was °only two Geese and a
Toorkey behind him."
NEWSPAPER JUSTICE.—The American proprie-
tors of newspapers have a very summary mode of proceeding with
those gentlemen who forget to balance their accounts. The fol-
lowing, from a New. York Paper, is a specimen We are in-
clined to believe that proprietors of newspapers would do service
to the community by publishing the names of such mean-spirited
men as subscribe for papers, and after receiving them one, two,
or three years, as the case may be, change their residence, by
running away, or otherwise leaving the printer unpaid, the paper
still going on, and the postmaster to inform that the subscriber had
made off bag and baggage. All flagrant cases, at least, ought to
be published.—Anson Gibbs received the Statesman at Ovid,
Seneca county, to the amount of 11 dollars, 94 cents. and went
off without paying for it. This is the only recommendation we
can give him to the confidence of others."

Ponsox.—A correspondent has favoured us with the
following curious and characteristic epistle, from the late
Cambridge . Professor to a very eminent surgeon, with
wham he was on terms of intimacy for many years:
" Dear Sir—l should be very happy to obey your Ob-
liging summons. I should equally approve of the com-
mons, the company, and the conversation, but for some
time past, my face, or rather mynose, whether from good
living or bad humours, has been growing into a great re-
semblance of honest Bardolph's or to keep still on the list
of honest fellows, of honest Richard Brinsley's. I have
therefore put myself under a regimen of abstinence, till my
poor nose recovers its quondam colour and compass,—after
which I shall be happy to attend your parties on the
shortest tibtice. Thank you for returning Mr. Ireland's,
whom you justly call an amiable youth, mull think you
might have added, a modest. Witness a publication of his
that appeared in 1804, entitled, Rhapsodies, by W. H.
Ireland Author of the Shaksperian'MSS.,.&e. where he
thus addresses his book— •
44 As on thy title-page, poor little book !
Full oft I oast a sad and pensive look,
I shake my head, and pity thee ;
I:or I, alas ! no brazen front possess,
Nor do I ev'ry potent art profess,
To send thee forth from censure free !"
Though I cannot help looking upon him as too modest in
the fourth verse, he certainly underrates the amount and
extent of his possessions. He is by no means poor ink,
m brau. was going to conclude with, " And now
to dinner with what appetite you may," but first I be-
thought me of a question—Do you see nothing extraordi-
nary in this note? Nothing, perhaps' you will say. Why
then be amazed, for it is written with a pen from the wing
of ancagle.. Oran eagle i Ay, and of an Irish eagle, too,
dearjoy. So no more at present, but
rests yours sin-

THE LONDON JOURNALS.
DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS,
JULY 15, 1826.

[THE TIMES.]

We do not know whether the subordinates of Mi-
nisters mean to go on still, vaunting their own fore-
sight, and exulting in the prosperity of the country,
the thrifty state of manufactures, the activity of com-
merce, the vast returns of the revenue, and the light-
ness of taxation. They are welcome to do so, if they
please: but we think ::even they begin to be sickened
with their work ; at least, we know their masters are
sickened at the real state of affairs. Our accounts
from the city are so dolorous, that it is painful to us
to publish them. We know how easy it is for maligw
nity to attribute to us a wish for those evils which we
are forced to describe ; as if we could possibly have an
interest that was at variance with the, general welfare
of the country ! We would, therefore, thank those
who,are the habit of setting forth our vast ease and
comfort, to specify what article of trade or manufac-
tinie is now flourishing. We say that they are, gene-
rally, in a dreadful state of depression, and that the
artisans and labourers engaged in them are starving.
If any, even one strong exception can be produced to
this general rule, let it be brought forward, and we
shall repeat it with pleasure. And then, as to the
cause or causes of this misery—for it is useless to Moan
over irremediable evils—what are they ? If we perish
by the will of God, we have only to resign ourselves
in patience. But if we perish by the crime or igno
ranee of man, we have right to look for redress ; or,
at least, to labour for a change. Cim those who have
so pertinaciously upheld the extravagance of Govern-
ment point out any cause of the present general state of
suffering, to which all the products of industry among
us are subjected, but excessive taxation ? The world is
at peace : the waves of the sea are open ; it is the ob-
ject of commerce, and it is the end of trade, to supply
the wants of man. Not only the population of the
world increases, and therefore the wants of its inha-
bitants, but limner' liberties increase ; every thing that
can create a demand, and give facility to the execution
of the demand, is in a progressive state of improve-
ment ; but we are retrograde ; our trade decreases—
our commerce falls off—our manufactures are hi no

request. What other cause but the oppressive weight
of air extravagant Government can he assigned for
these miseries ? no funds do not sink in proportion
to other species of property, because it is Atli thought
that distress has not yet driven our rulers to such a
. . .

pitch of knavery as to` induce them to defraud the cre-
ditors of the state. But necessity, produced by the
absence of an honest and firm principle of retrench-
ment, will bring us thither at the last.—We have seen;
one Minister so torn by the distractions of public bu-;
siness, to which his rind was not equal, that he sunk'
in an improper way tinder them. Another, we hear,though hackneyed in affairs of state, has recently,
changed his phlegmatic habits, and gives symptoms of
untenal petulance and violence. In the mean time,
has there been any retrenchment ? Scripture speaks
of the folly of a man who began to build a house
without first sitting down to calculate the expense
thereof: how are the two palaces now building in St;
James's Park to be paid for ? How are the expenses
attending them to be defrayed ? We have heard that
the one which is called the Duke of York's house, he
being unable to bring it to a conclusion, has been
bought, and is now to be finished for his Royal I ROl-
ness by Ministers, at the public expense ; and it is
said is, La, some future day, to be eouverted into a
national gallery?
