Chapel' Royal as was expected, but heard prayers read
at the Pavilion. _ .

The band of the Bth Hussars played on the Steine
this evening, for the first time this season. The Steine

months.

Sir Godfrey Webster arrived here on Friday even-
tng in his yacht, which now lies off the town.
MONDAY.—His Royal Highness the Duke of

gratifying to know that the Royal Duke is making

first year. The tradesmen of his Royal Highness

town yesterday morning at nine o'clock, with de-
spatches from the Earl of Liverpool in North Wales.
Mr. Secretary Peel left his residence in Privy
Gardens about two o'clock yesterday afternoon, for

Canning.
Mr. John B. Cramer, the eminent performer on the
piano-forte is engaged for the ensuing Musical Festival

THE NEW PALACE FOR THE KING.—The dome
which forms so prominent a part, is, we hear, to be
removed ; the whole line of house! to Arabella-row,
and including it, will be swept away ; also Elliott's
brewhouse, in the rear, if the negotiators can agree :
the sum demanded, it is said, exceeds 40,000/.—
Morning Paper.
The sum of 100). has been presented by order of
his Majesty's Government, to Mr. Marshall, rope-
maker of the Dock-yard, at this port, for an improve-
ment which he suggested in the machinery used for
the making of rope.—Plymouth Herald.

A curious cirumstance occurred a few days since in
Congleton ; a man who had been 27 years absent from
his native town, returned, and at the Hare and Dog
Inn, in that town, met his wife with a second bus-
band : he philosophically declined interfering with
connubial bliss, and declared for single blessedness.—
Maccleffield Herald.
METAPHYSICS.-A Scotch blacksmith being asked
the meaning of Metaphysics, explained it as follows :-
4, When the party who listens dinna ken what the
party who speaks means, and when the party who
speaks dinna ken what he means himself—that is
Metaphysics."

A witness under examination in an Irish Court of
Justice the other day, had just stated that he was sud-
denly roused from his slumbers by a blow on the
head., " And how did you find yourself'?" asked the
examining Counsel. " Fast asleep," replied the wit-
ness.--Bucks Chronicle.

On Friday se'nnight, at a village about three miles
distant from Nantwich, was interred the wife of a
Reverend Divine ; the Curate of the parish not being
at church at the time appointed, the old man stood
up, anti read the burial service himself. When the
Minister arrived who was expected to officiate, the
Reverend Widower told him, that he had done so
himself; but that instead of saying, in that part of the
service—" Our dearly beloved sister," he had said,
" My dearly beloved wife."--Macckffield Herald.
During the late Assizes for Somersetshire, a wit-
ness, in Ins examination in chief, described himself as
a shoemaker. On being cross-examined, however, as
to the nature of his occupation, he replied, that he
was a blacksmith. " How is this, sir," said the
Counsel, " did you not tell us that you were a shoe-
maker ?" " I knew I did, Zur," replied the witness,
" and I zay a blacksmith is a shoemaker—vor orses."
" In this Court, by a shoemaker is understood a me-
chanic who makes shoes for men and women," rejoin-
ed the lawyer. ,t Noa, Zur," retorted the witness,
that beast right ; thik there be a cordwainer." The
learned Counsellor was completely nonplused.
At the end of the reign of George IL, when a com-
plaint was made by a hot-brained Member of Parlia-
ment of a breach of privilege by the publication in
the Magazines of some of the speeches made in the
House of Commons, though given under feigned
names, Mr. Pelham, the Government leader of that
day, quashed the motion with the following observa-
tion;--" Let them alone," said he, they make
better speeches for us than we can make fat ourselves."
.Batli Herald.

A singular circumstance 4*ok place in Cardiff
Church, on Saturday morning last. While the curate
was performing the marriage ceremony for two young
people, the bridegroom behaved so indecorously, that
the clergyman was under the disagreeable necessity of
reproving him.; this not having the desired effect, and
the man being unable, from intoxication, to repeat his
troth as required, the, Curate felt himself bound to stop
the service, and dismiss the couple unmarried. A
precisely siniilar occurrence has taken place in Cardiff
Church within the last six months,—.Bath Herald.

SECOND EDITION.

SUN OFFICE, Four o'Clock.
FLIGHT . WILLIAM WAKEFIELD.
LANCASTER, Aua. 21.

At half-past nine o'clock this morning, Mr. Justice
PARK took his seat upon the bench, -and directed
that the Learned Counsel engaged for the prose-
cution and the defendant should be informed of his
arrival.

In about, five minutes afterwards Mr. Brougham
came into court, and moved that Wm. Wakefield be
called upon his recognizances.
Mr. Reynolds, the crier, called the defendant three
times upon his recognizance of 2,000/. but he did not
appear. The sureties, David Davies, of Macclesfield,
in.the county of Chester, doctor of Divinity, and John
Cuthbert, of Stonehouse, near Broadstairs, in the
parish of St. Peter, in the Isle of Thanet, in the
county of Kent, Esq., were called upon three times
to produce the body of William Wakefield, whom
they had undertaken to have here this day, or to for-
feit their recognizances of 1,5001.
Mr. Justice PARK—Is there any reason to sup-
pose that the defendant is not in Court ? Probably
he is prevented from 'appearing by the crowd..
Mr. BROUGHAM-Mr. Denison, the Attorney for
the defendant, says, my Lord, that the defendant is •
not forthcoming.

Mr. Justice PARK (to Mr. Denison).—Have you
any reason to believe that the defendant will not be
forthcoming ?
Mr. DENISON—He will not appear, my Lord.
Mr. Justice PARK—Let the recognizances of
William Wakefield, and of his sureties, Dr. Davies
and Mr. Cuthbert, be entreated,
Mr. BROUGHAM—The defendant, Wm. Wake-
field, having absconded, I have humbly to move your
Lordship for a bench' warrant against him.
Mr. Justice PARK—Let the warrant be prepared.
You are, Mr. Brougham, aware that my warrant
does not extend beyond the county. You must apply
to a Judge of the Court of King's Bench for a war-
rant which will extend all over the kingdom.—
My warrant will be to bring him before me if I
should be here, or if not, before a Justice of the Peace
for the County of Lancaster, and I have, therefore,
some doubt, whether or not, I ought to insert in the
warrant, that notice of bail should be given. Although
he has absconded, yet the offence is bailable if he should
be apprehended, but the recognizances already entered
into, are by his flight forfeited. I know that in a war-
rant granted by a Judge of the Court of King's Bench,
notice of bail was inserted, but then the party was
brought before a Judge of that Court.
Mr. BROUGHAbf—If your Lordship has any doubt
about it, then let the warrant be in the common form,
and let the Magistrate before whom he shall be brought
exercise his discretion.

Mr. Justice PARK—That probably will be the bet-
ter course, and the Magistrate may, if he should:think
proper, require notice of bail.
A warrant was accordingly made out in the corn-

TATTERSALL'S, Aua. 21.

By the subjoined statement of odds, it will be seen that Mu-
latto continues on the advance, being now only half a point be-
hind Bedlamite, with a strong party to back him, and every pro-
bability of the next betting-day making him decidedly second fa-
vourite. Belzoni remains as before, but Bedlamite fell back a
little, and not much done on him. cz usader and The Dragon
have changed places, the latter being the favourite 11 about a
point. The betting was rather brisk on the abme ho s, with-
out touching upon many of the outsiders. The oddv at the:close
of the room had settled as follows
