LADY C. LONG'S FETE CHAMPETIIE.--The preparations
for this grand Fete, on Tuesday, at Brothley-hill Lodge, were
brilliant in the extreme, and it was attended by upwards of two
hundred distinguished personages. Marquees were intended to
be erected on the lawn, but owing to the coldness of the weather,
the whole of the arrangements were confined to the interior of
the house. The DEJEUNE was ALA EMIRCHETTE, consist-
ing of every delicacy, with the most delicious wines. It took
place at four o'clock, and at seven the party broke up. The
display of horses, carriages, and outriders, was very superb.
There were present :—The Duke of Montrose, Marquis of
Graham and Lady C. Graham, the Marquis of Camden, the
Ladies Pratt and Lord Brecknock, Count and Countess Mun-
ster, Lord and Lady George Cavendish and Miss Cavendish,
Earl and Countess of Bridgwater, Earl and Countess Grosvenor
and Lord and Lady Belgrave, Earl and Cokintesa of Lonsdale,
Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdown, Earl and Countess of
Aylesbury, the Ladies .Bruce, Lady
,Theodosia Vyner, Miss
Vyner, Earl and Countess of Limerick and the Ladies Pay,
Mr. and Lady Charlotte Finch Hatton, Lord William Ber-
tinck, Mr. and Mrs. Duncombe and Miss Duncombe, Earl and
Countess of Aboyne, the Ladies Gordon, &c. &c.
The Countess St. Antonio's Concert in Hanover-square, on
Monday evening, was attended by 200 fashionables. Madame
Camporese and the Opera corps attended. The great saloon,
drawing rooms, and a temporary conservatory, were thrown
open at ten o'clock. The music closed at one; the party broke
up at two.

Lady Ml:leek's-Rout, on Tuesday evening, in Clarges-street,
was very elegantly attended.

of fashionablcs on Tuesday, at her house in Stratford-place.

TILE THEATRE.—There has hardly ever been
a larger audience than attended Drury-lane
Theatre on Tuesday last, for the benefit of
BRAHAM. The play was False Alarms, and the
farce Fortune's Frolic. There was also a musical
selection, supported by the chief vocal perfor-
mers of the Theatre, as well as by Mrs. SALMON,
Mrs. and the Misses ASHE, the Misses CORRI,
as well as by Master BARNETT, G. SMITH, and
BRAHAM. The volunteers, Mrs. SALMON, Miss
STEpuENs, and the AsHEs, were received with
the warmest applause. The most prominent
pieces were the Echo song by Miss STEPHENS ad-
mirably given, and a beautiful trio by Mrs. ASHE
and her two daughters, most correctly and taste-
fully sung. Mrs. SALMON, accompanied by NI-.
CHOLSON'S flute, highly gratified the audience.—
Miss POVEY, who was to have responded to Mrs.
SALMON in " Sweet Echo," having been sud-
denly taken ill, an apology was made, and Miss
Ante immediately undertook to be the echo, and
the song went off with delightful effect. BRAHAM
exerted himself to the utmost, and amply grati-
fied the audience for their liberal patronage.

The fine whole-length portrait of Earl WHIT-
WORTH, painted by Sir T. LAWRENCE, for the
Corporation of Dublin, has been placed up in the
Mansion-house of that city.
Q. Why is the language of a scold most mov-
ing- ?—A. Because no man in his wits will tarry
to hear her.

In a northern English town, an honest Crispin,
who officiates as Sexton, was thus addressed by
his better half : " Thomas, we should have a
goose ; every body is getting one." " A goose,
indeed !" replied the husba!►d, " an' has'nt buried
a living soul these, three weeks !"
MARTIN AND RANDALT..—Martin appeared in the ring,
after the late battle, and threw up his hat. He said, "He
.wished to inform the Amateurs that he had accepted of Ran-
dall's challenge for 3001. a-side, and his friends were ready to
make it 5001." Randall immediately answered it with his
castor, as a token of defiance ; and it is expected this match
will be made immediately.

Although the spring in the west of Scotland
has been cold and backward, instances are not
wanting of comparatively early production.

MR. CANNING AND SIR F. BURDVTT.

TO TIIE EDITOR.

Sia,—A letter from Mr. D. Kinnaird,
appeared hi your paper of this day, in reference
to the publication of the correspondence between
Mr. Canning and Sir Francis Burdett, requires
from me the following explanation :
Certainly the paragraph to which both our
names are signed, though written by us, was not
written
,as• a letter to the Editor of The Cou-
rier, or to any other person. It was intended
simply to authenticate the correspondence which
it. accompanied. 'The,mistake by which the Edi,
tor of The Courier considered it as addressed to
himself, is explained by him in his paper of this
evening.

With respect to the question of publishing, it
is perfectly true that Mr. D. Kinnaird, though
the publication had his perfect assent, and though
his authentication -of the correspondence was
given with that view, declined to be a party to it.
But it is equally true that publication, in some
form or other, was always required by Mr. Can-
ning, and was uniformly so stated by me to Mr.
Kinnaird, from the moment that there appeared
a prospect, of the affair being brought to
.an
amicable termination. •

I regret the mistake into which the Editor of
The Courier has fallen, more especially as it has
given rise to Mr. Kinnaird's letter, which, al-
though (as I am convinced, from all that has
passed between us upon this occasion) without
the intention of the writer, seems to detract
something from that complete satisfaction to the
feelings as well as to the honour of both the par-
ties principally concerned, with which I cau
truly say Mr. Kinnaird and I had mutually flat-
tered ourselves that this transaction had happily
terminated.

I am, Sir, your obedient Servant,
Park-lane, June 13. BENTINCK.

Lord W. Bentinck, it seems, wished that the
following note should be annexed to his letter :
" The Editor of The Courier presents his compliments to Lord
William Bentinck, and has the honour to inform.him, with
reference to that part of Mr. Douglas Kinnaird's Letter which
relates to the alleged 4 forgery' of his name, that the mistake
originated in a practice ordinarily adopted in giving publication
to the communications of Correspondents, viz. that of causing
them to be addressed to the Editor of the Journal in whiztt
they appear. It is surely superfluous to add, that there could
have existed no motive of any other kind for thus introducing
the Correspondence."

The Duke of BEDFORD, we are sorry to say,
has been confined to his room by indisposition
for several days past. ilis Grace, however, was
something better yesterday.
A Meeting is about to take place at Reading,
for the purpose of forming an establishment for
the instruction of the adult poor of that town and
its vicinity.

The artificers, &c.of Chatham dock-yard were
paid in sovereigns on Saturday se'nnight, for the
first time since the resumption of cash payments.
(Kentish Gazette.)
It is with great satisfaction we observe that the
young wheats, which had been slightly injured
by the late chilling winds, have resumed a healthy
complexion, and hold forth promises of a plentiful
harvest.—(Brighton Chronicle.)
It is said that the receipts at the Royal Aca-
demy to view the Exhibition, already amount to
nearly five thousand pounds.
A Mail Coach will begin running to Hastings
on the 6th of July. The bags are at present con-
veyed in a Mail Cart.
The subsistence money for Prisoners confined

in most of the county gaols has, on account of the
cheapness of the necessaries of life, been reduced
from 18d. to is. per day.
A few days ago, as the gamekeeper of Peter
Middleton, Esq. of Stockeld Park, near Wetherby, was pur-
suing his vocation, he found a hare, (just killed by a fox) so
big with young, that he was induced to perform the CIESARE x
OPERATION, which he did with such success, that we believe
the young are likely to be reared.—(Country Paper.)
A shocking instance of self-destruction occurred
on Monday sennight. Mr. Whitesides, a traveller in the
carpet line, after showing decided symptoms of derangement
at the Crown Inn, in Lynn, ordered his gig about six in the
evening, and drove to ,viiddleton, a village about four miles
from Lynn, where he alighted and drew down a lane, and cut
his throat with a razor in so dreadful a manner as nearly to sever
his head from his body. Ile was about 40 years of age, a fine
gentleman in person, and bore a respectable .character.—();ury
and Norwich Post, June 13.)
Yesterday morning at Tothill-fields Fair, whilst
some young men and women were amusing themselves in a
swing, which was going with great velocity, a young woman
was pitched headforemost from the machine. She was taken
ulzeirne
ita wsa.tsatlsocfovienrseedntshibailit
herty shouldera drriwedas todist
dislocated, a tet hospital,an
d
.her arm and collar bone broken. She remains in the hos-
pital in a very dangerous state ; and about the same time, a
young man who was passing by one of those dangerous play
things, was struck on the eye with great force, by which the eye
was completely forced out of the socket, and he was rendered
insensible for a long time. Ile was also carried to the 'Hospital.
Four men were unfortunately killed in Els-
, wick colliery on Monday last, in consequence of
the fall of a large stone from the roof of the pit.
A very singular method of raising the wind has
been practised by one of those fellows who live by
expedients. He had called at the houses of a great
number of poor people, and represented to them,
that nothing was so easy as to be exempted
from the payment of the assessed taxes : a
petition to the Justices, if written in a proper
manner, would be sufficient; and this he un-
dertook to write out for the moderate charge
of one shilling. Some hundreds, we understand,
were defrauded in this manner, affording a con-
stant and profitable employment, for several
weeks, to the ingenious contriver.—(Edinburgh
Courant, June 11.)
CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.--A person was
lately apprehended and lodged in Kirkcaldy
jail, Scotland, for a crime, which seems at pre-
sent to be very common, and too often practised
with success. This person, under various as-
sumed names, at one time as James Burgess,

the master, and part-owner of a vessel wrecked
off the coast of Ireland, by which he lost his all—
at another time;as H. Gordon, mate of another ves-
sel, also wrecked, accompanied by a distressing
tale—has (with the aid of forged documents) int..
posed on several people in that neighbourhood. As
this person (who has stated his real name to be
Douglas) is about to be liberated from jail, the
public ought to be on their guard against his fu-
ture practices, and; should be cautious in gi% ing
credit to any tale of this nature; however well au-
,'
thenticated it may appear.

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS,
June 14.

[MORNIMI HERALD.]
There are various accounts of defeats of the
Turks; but without authentic accounts.we should
be slow of credit. The naval force has been
attacked and damaged by the Greek flotilla in
the Archipelago and along the coast of Epirus.
On land, Ali, who, with his characteristic mi-
lling, sent abroad the rumour of his own death,
has united with the Suliots, defeated the Otto-
man General-in-Chief, and is in full march to
the assistance of the Greeks in the Morea. In
fact, it appears that the insurrection in Walla-
chia and Moldavia is trilling compared with the
movements in Greece, properly so called, and in
.‘Asia Miner. We do not presume to give any
opinion of the probable issue of, this horrible
contest; but it cannot be denied that the
(:reeks have greatly advanced in strength, phy-
sical and intellectual, since the disastrous attempt
of the Empress Catherine to liberate them from
the Turkish yoke. They have acquired into
their hands almost the whole commerce of
Thrace, Macedonia, and Asia Minor. We have
seen a statement of their commercial marine force
at 1500 vessels and 30,000' seamen, before the
breaking out of the insurrection. By their pru-
dence and activity in commerce they obtained
wealth, which again enabled them to obtain,
from the poverty and rapacity of the Treasury
and Ministers at Constantinople, permission to
mount their vessels with arms to protect them-
selves against the pirates of the Barbary coast.—
That literature has made rapid progress among
them is plain, even from the few notices given
by Lord Byron. With the Greek mind thus
expanding, and the national resources increasing,
whilst the Turkish power has been rather on the
decline, from inactivity and from natural decay,
it may be anticipated, that however the contest
should end, it is likely to be terrible and pro-
tracted.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
It has been urged that the removing of one
pound notes from the currency will have no other
effect than that of diverting the fabricators of bad
notes from one pound notes to those of higher de-
nominations. We are not of this opinion. A
shopkeeper will exercise more caution in taking
a ten pound or a five pound note than he might
have used in taking a one pound note, and the
power of tracing the forgery of a large note to its
source will for the same reason be facilitated.—
Besides, notes of tbe denomination of one pound
are more required in the ordinary retail trade
thin those of a larger amount, and in proportion
as the necessity of incurring a certain risk be-
comes diminished, the unwillingness to encounter
it will increase. The public may be assured
fiat caution on their parts in taking notes will
eventually, prove the most effectual mean's of
correcting the evil of an extensive system of for-
gery.

FIVIORNING CHRONICLE.]
All the Ministerial Papers, with the exception
.of one; have, for several days, preserved silence
with respect to the Association in question. (Con-
stitutional Association.) Are we to infer from
this, that Ministers have come to the determina-
tion of discountenancing this wicked scheme
We consider them, indeed, in some degree
pledged to set their faces against it. They
cannot, surely, have forgot the assurances which
they gave the Booksellers of this Metropolis
at the. time their new laws against the Press
struck such a well-founded terror into that
re'spectable body. Every man in the trade
knew that the device • which was the other day
resorted to by the Association to entrap King,
might be successfully resorted to in the case of
almost any individual ; because it is absolutely
impossible for a Bookseller to make himself ac-'
(painted svi:h the contents of most of the works
which -pass through his hands. _The Deputation
-which waited on Ministers. stated, we believe,
these circumstances, and _urged that they would
'not merely be at the mercy of. the public prose-
cutor,
(which did not so much alarm them), but
at the mercy of all those who might choose,
from wicked and malicious motives, to atternpt
their ruin. The Attorney-General assured them
that they had nothing to fear on that account, as
prosecutions against them would 'only be brought
forward by Government, and -they could never
Suppose that Government would lend themselves
to such oppressive measures as they had antici-
pated.

[THE 'TIMES.]
We are told from Vienna that Lord Stewart is:
preparing for the
,conclusion of his Long-lived
embassy•to that caPital. We have‘not heardnor
innuired what is to become of that Noble Lord.
We publish an interesting correspondence from
Leipsie, which, so far as relates to the Turkish
Government, presents a disguiting picture (See
'another column of our Paper) ; and.in: what con-
cerns our fellow Christians at ConstantinOple,
frightful 6110, of the state of that ungoverned'
city : yet, upon the whole, the Greek cause
seems', in'spite of these atrocities, to Le rather
rising that., falling.

[NEW TINES.]
CONSTITUTION IL ASSOCIATION.-The Radi•
cals, when it 'suit their purpose, could eagerly
avail themselves of the power of accusation against
hick they now so loudly complain. 'The
,could
raise a purse to carry on the Inquest at.,oldham,
to prefer Bills of Indictment against the Man-
chester Yeorrya. nry, and, to manage the prosecu-
tion of Mr. Dennis d'Brian, which if it was
not a malicious prosecution, had at least as
much the air of one ,as any that ever fell under
our observation. If this could be done with a dis-
tinct reference to each particular case, and con-
sequently with all the danger of personal and.
local prejudices, how much less objectionable
must it be in the eye of reason to associate
for the general prosecution of a class of offenders,
without any previous knowledge of the particular
individual who may render himself liable to
prosecution ! In the eye of the law the Associa-
tions both cases are exactly the 'same, and can

only be impeachable. on specific proof of personal
ltrialice against an innocent and unoffending indi-
tvidual. Our Manehester Letters concur in re-
pres-knting the state of that town and, neighbour-
hood as presenting -a most pleasing contrast to
the prospect which it exhibited during the sedi-
tious and alarming movements of Hunt and his
crew. Trade, which at that time was slack, is
now brisk and active ; the numbers of manu-
facturing labourers then unemployed, or em-
ployed but for a few hours in the day-, are
now in full work ; and wages, which were
then low, are improved, and still rising. This is
the more remarkable, because it has been ascer-
tained"by the new Census, that the population of
Manchester and its neighbourhood has increased,
since the Census of 1811, by no less a number
than 46,000 souls. So vast an addition to the
supply of labour must necessarily have sunk
the price of that commodity (that_ is to say,
the poor man's compensation for his work)
to an extremely low ebb, unless it had been
counterbalanced by a great augmentation of
demand for the manufactured articles. At
the same time, it is not t' be forgotten how
much the poor. people of Manchester owe to the
worthy Magistrates, who rescued the town from
imminent danger, on the occasion so wickedly de-
nominated the Manchester Massacre. Had the Ma-
gistrates at .hat time flinched from their painful
duty, had they suffered the seditious to brave
the laws with impunity, there would no 1011.
ger have been-; any safety in that town or
neighbourhood for any man of property.—
Every master-manufacturer, who could remove,
.would have left the place, and would have
transferred his capital to a quieter part of the
country, or perhaps to a foreign clime ; and the
consequence must necessarily have been, that
many thousands in and about Manchester now in
full work, and at good 'wages, must have literally
perished with hunger, and thus expiated with
their lives the guilt of those infamous incendiaries
by whom they were deluded, and of that more
infamous press which dared to stamp an act of
painful but necessary duty, with the odious name
of a massacre.
