BRIGHTON, SEPT. 27.

Lord STEWART arrived at the Royal York Hotel on Tues-
' day evening. His Lardship is Colonel of the 10th Royal
Hussars!, a distinguished Military post, filled by his present
Majesty, when Prince of Wales. At 11 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, the
,open space in front of the York Hotel exhibited a
splendid appearance; Lord Stewart, and the Officers of the
10th were there, all mounted in their richest uniforms, and
their fiery chargers grandly caparisoned. His Lordship
rode one of the most beatYtiful bay- Arabians that was ever
brought to this country. An open barouche contained Lady
Stewart, and several elegant Belles of quality. Her Ladyship`
was attired a-la-militaire—the pelisse dropped gracefully
from her shoulders, . studded with gems ; her helmet coif
was surmounted by a feather of the bird of paradise ; her
appearance was martial, dignified, and lovely ; her manner
affable, exciting admiration in all about her. Crowds of Ele-
gantes witnessed the splendid spectacle on the Steyne. From
the York Hotel, the radiant cavalcade moved gently to the slope
of the Downs near the Barracks, followed by numerous specta-
tors : here the 10th Hussars were drawn up to receive. them, and
a review of the corps followed by his Lordship, and in which
the finest specimens of warlike discipline and talent were dis-
played; to interest and gratify all-present. The..troopi returned
to the Barracks, where they were regaled with a plentifnl repast,
by their new and esteemed Commander. His Lordship and
Lady, and other gens de Condition, were afterwards sumptu-
ously entertained by the Officers at the mess. • At ten o'clock
at night, Lord and Lady Stewart ascended their barouche, front
which the horses had been displaced, and the cheerful soldiers
were ready- to perform their office. Thus protected and joy-
ously borne along, they returned to the York Hotel, the united
huzzas and acclamations of hundreds marking their whole line
•of progress, and announcing their approach. A scene more
cheerful it would be very difficult to imagine. Lady .Stewart,
who is "in that way which Ladies wish to be who love their
Lords," we regret to observe, has suffered indisposition il'om
the firtigue of yesterday ; this has occasioned the return dinner,
at the York Hotel, to be confined to Gentlemen., and which has
been the only drawback to the vivid pleasures enjoyed.
TICE DIN' N ER.-At half-paat six o'clock, or soon after, this
evening, the company, consisting of the gens de guerre of the
.10th, the Earl of Chichester,- from Stanmore, Sir Matthew
Tierney, Bart., General Mundy, and other Noblemen and
Gentlemen, had taken their seats in the spacious dining-room
of the York Hotel, which had been suitably embellished for the
occasion. At the upper end of the apartment was G. 11. IV.
'surmounted by the Crown, formed of variegated lamps, and
partially-concealed with branches of laurel, exhibiting owers
of multiplied -tints and beauties. . At the opposite extre-
mity of the room were the initial letters It. 11. with the •
tenth between, surmounted with the pluine, the crest of
their Royal ComMander,'ewhen he 'held his official post at the
head of the regiment. These. were also fermed of variegated
lamps, darting their effulgence through intertwining branches
of laurel, and flowers of diffeeent hued. Festoons of laurels
and flowers were tastefully arranged about the other parts of
this elegant banqueting hall, for so its capacious dimensions in-
duce us to term it, flirming,. on the whole, a picture as unique
as rural and imposing. The dinner consisted of every delicacy
the .season could afford or art • supply, and excellent was the
serving up. The ornamental embellishments- of the table were
as splendid, as well disposed, and sparkling and grand was
the general effect. Covers were laid for forty, and the whole
of that number attended, and brilliant was the coup (1%61 af-
forded when the scats were occupied. The band of the 10th
played their national melodies, and patriotism, and loyalty, and
native inertial worth, and genuine social BritiSh spirit, gave a
happy and distinguishing character to the whole. The de-
sert was profuse; pines, nielon, peaches, grapes, sweet-
- meats, ices, pyramids of jellies, and a long et cettera, seasoned
with all the choicest wines ftern, "humble Port to Imperial
'!'okay." The dinner had been ordered an hour earlier than
originally intended, in consequence of'Lord and Lady Stewart
having condescended to bespeak the play of " The -Soldier's
Daughter," and the desire they'felt, in consequence, to visit the
Theatre in the course of the eVening; not calculating upon. her
Ladyship's indisposition, but which • at this time, it gives us
pleasure to add, has much decreased. As yet we know not
Whether the Theatre will be honoured with their presence. Lord,
and Lady Stewart purpose leaving its to-morrow.

Oh ! lonely the day Is, and lonely the night,

Whilst absent, for ever, froth thee :
The darkness is dreary, and gloomy the light;

That brings thee not, Ellen, to me !

I wander o'er valley and hill,
To the crowds of the city I madly repair,
But there it is solitude still !

Each feeling of pleasUre and care,

To cherish, to soften, to share.

For cold are the glances this vain world can giie,
And falsely those glances are thrown ;
And I feel that amongst them to breathe and to live
Is to live as a hermit alone.

I shrink from their touch, they are hypocrites all,
And I am an hypocrite too !
I am false as the men who thus false ones ones I call,
And only am faithful to you !

BOXING AT %lOULESY HURST.
At the chase of the Eel= races on Thursday, those. fond of
milling sports had a nch-treat in two gallantly contested battles,
which kept the amateurs till .dark. The tirst was for a 101.
purse, between Joe Nash, the Kingston champion, and whO
had merited well the title, and Sally Cooper, the fighting
gv_psev. Beelibrd seconded the gypsey, and Peter *Saunders
picked up Nash.
1. Nash made the play, and drew the claret by a fight handed
blow upon his adversary's ear, and he followed up 'his success
and floored his adversary.
2. A good fought round with mutual advantages. The gyp-
sey drew claret from his adversary's mouth, but in return .Nash
involved his head in Chancery, imd he kept it -there till the end
of the round.. .

3. The gypscy broke from his adversary's right hand, and
gat his lcft into action, and it partially told, but Nash was too
strong and too active, and he threw his adversary.
4,5, and 6, were occupied in real fighting in favour of Nash,
who placed some heavy hits on his adversary's nob, which com-
pletely exchequered him, and he floored his adversary by a
belly-go-firster.

Thk4ypsey fought his best, but Nash has many hidden qua-
lifications as a boxer, and he won it cleverly at last.
.•
The second battle was fought between two as-good little men
(unknown to the prize ring) as ever peeled. First-rao, action,
with unniuzzled gait, was tke order of the mill. They were
'known as Ginger-pole and Black-locks, and the latter won it.

CANTI:RI3I:7IY, SEPT 213.—Early on Wednesday morning,
James Rolfe, a labourer, of this city, was taken into custody,
at his house, in Ivy. Lane, by Bond, the Bow-street officer,
under a warrant backed by the Mayor, charged with a capital
felony, in having been one of a party of about .50 smugglers, at
Marsh Bay, on the 2d of September, when the commanding
officer and one of the seamen belonging to the Coast Blockade
were severely wounded. The prisoner, immediately on his ap-
prehension, was taken to the barracks, and put under a-military
escort from this city to afargate, to prevent the possibility of
any rescue (as heretofore) by the lawless ,fangs of smugglers
to whom he was attached, and who are egillly a disgrace to the
country, and the name of Englishthen. lie was yesterday con-
veyed under a similar escort to the county-gaol, Maidstone,,
to which he. was committed by the. Justices at Margate : this
is the second offender in this transaction who has been taken
and fully committed for trial at the next Assizes: We are in,
formed that the prisoner shelved some marks of contrition, and
was willing to make every atonement that disclosure of accom-
plices might afford ; but the Solicitor for the prosecution being
already in possession, (from a 'variety of good private informa-
tion) of the names of most of the principal offenders, and find:
ing the prisoner's name to stand amongst the list of those who
made use of arms in that attack, refused to admit'him to be-
come evidence for the crown ; and especially as he made no offer
to impeach his accomplices until he was apprehended.—(Ken-
tish Gazette.)

On Saturday week, in Arbroath, a boy who
was viewing Grr,mAN's Menagerie of wild beasts,
birds, and reptiles, incautiously laid hold of one
of the lioness's cubs ; this roused the indignation
of the lioness, who laying hold of the boy's arm
with one of her paws, hurt it severely, and dis-
located his shoulder. The boy will• be unable,
in consequence, for some time, to attend his usual
occupation ; but LK, fault, it is said, can be attri-
buted to any of the keepers.

SWEARING IN ©f the NEW SHERIFF'S:

Yesterday Was the day appointed for this c),)
remony, and a large crowd had collected in the
Hall for the purpose.-of witnessing it.. At a little
before one o'clock the LORD Mlyon.arrived in
state, and held a- Court of Aldermen. At a
quarter past one the Sheriffs Elect, Aldermen
GARRATT and .VENABI,ES, arrived in new and
splendid carriages. The carriage of Aldertnatt
Garratt is one of the most elegant we ever saw.
The colours are green and gold, with the arms of
the Goldsmiths' Company,.to whichhe belongs,
and the arms of his. family emblazoned on 'the
pannels and on the hammer-cloth, The horses
were decked out in green and orange ribbons.
The servants wore splendid liveries of green and
gold to correspond. The carriage of Alderman
Venables Is of a sky-blue colour, with hammer.:
cloth, ec,c. of silver, and the footmen in blue live-
ries with silver lace. The Sheriffs-Elect, accom-
panied by the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs Waithmatt
and -Williams, and the Court of .Aldermen, en-
tered the Hall and ascended the platform. The
several Aldermen were received with various
marks of favour, or otherwise, from the populace
assembled, The new Sheriffs were splendidly
dressed it) maroon coats, surmounted by their
State robes of scarlet; They were sworn with all
appropfa.te solemnity by H. Woodthorpe, Esq.
The last ceremony was to invest them with the
gold insignia of office, when some surprise was
occasioned at a variation from the old costume
of wearing gold chains with the plain link, in.,
stead of which the new Sheriffs were invested
with gold ornaments, consisting each of three
coils of gold rope or chain cord, but attached to
a superb gold ornament, affixed to the, breast
of the waistcoat. . The new costume was much
admired, and generally considered much more
appropriate than the old. After the usual sale.
tations had been made, .the Lord Mayor and
Court of Aldermen retired.—The new -Sheriff's
proceeded to the Court of Common Pleas to. re- .
ceive the custody of the prisoners in Newgate
and Whitecross,street.—Mr. Brown, the Keeper
of Newgate, in giving in the list of the prisoners
in his custody, observed, that he had examined
the prison accounts, and that there never had
been so 'small a number of prisoners transferred
to the Sheriffs on such. an occasion since the
prison had_ been built. He took the opportu-
nity of congratulating the Sheriffs on the cir-
cumstance. Mr. Brown and Mr. Thackray
then deliVered up the keys to the She-
riffs, Who transferred them to the tiew She-
'ritr.s.—Mr. Sheriff Venables, on mcelving the key
of Newgate, addressed Mr. Brown and said,
" Sir, althoUgh you have an appointment as the .
Keeper of Newgate, yet, as his Majesty's offi-
cers, the .custody of that
.prison is entirely in us,
and we appoint you the Governor for the time
being."—Mr. Brown received the key, and
bowed. Some other formal business laving been
disposed of, the Sheriffs retired fo dinner.- Mr,
Sudiovo, of Monument-yard, was appointed. Un-
der-Sheriff to Alderman Garratt ; Mr. Smith, the
late Under-Sheriff, 'was re-appointed as Under-
Sheriff to Alderman Venables.

"BANS OF ENGLAND.—A great reduction is
about to take..place almost immediately in the
establishment of the Bank of England. The
number of clerks to be discharged is stated at
125, of .which 40 are from the Hall side or Ca-
shier's Office, and the remainder from the various
Accountant-offices for the different classifications
of stock, with the one and two pound Bank-note
office. In the latter, which employed between
200 and 300 clerks, the return to payments k
specie trust have led to the expectation of a very
material reduction :but the number discharged
under the present .arrangement is only 24. :It
not at all known before Tuesday last, we believe,
that the change was contemplated by the Go-
vernors of the Bank, and the measure, there.;'
fore, being one that involves the welfar.- or sub-
sistence of so many families, appears a little
abrupt. But in the mode of carrying it into effect.
, the Bank have acted with a degree of liberality
which merits praise. All the clerks now dis
missed will receive .an annuity for life, in pro-
portion to the amount of pay and length of ser-
vice,' a selection being made, as far as the irite•-•
rests of the concern rendered it prudent to do so,
from those who are the soonest likely from long
services to claim the right of superannuation.--
But every clerk discharged will, we understand,
be allowed the option, if he .prefers it, of re-
ceiving a sum of money equivalent to the value
of his annuity. Thus to those who are still young.
anti have a talent for business, an opportunity •
will be afforded,- by a supply of .capital, of en
gaging in trade, and of working out their own.
independence. The number of clerks employed
at the. Bank is above 1000 ; the number dis-
charged, therefore, is about one-eighth- part of
the whole. By the measure, a saving will accrue
to the Bank when the respective annuities fall
in, of about 20,0001. per annurri. We understand
that the cause assigned by the Directors for this
step, in the notice to those clerks whose services
are to cease, is a general falling, off in the busi-
ness of the establishment.—(Tunes.)

Fist' continues exorbitantly dear, and might
be sold at half the price .under proper regula-
tions. No vessel should be permitted to come to
anchor in the River, but be obliged to proceed at
once to Billingsgate market : and the most rigo-
rous measures should be adopted to prevent fores-
talling. It is in contemplation, it is said, of the
inhabitants of Westminster to petition Parliament
next Session to have kfish-market established ut
Hungerford market.

It will be seen from the following statement
that the travelling in this neighbourhood has con-
siderably increased in the last few years. The
tolls upon the turnpike roads from Liverpool to
Prescot, Ashton, and Warrington, comprising
five gates, were let on the 31st ult. for three years,
at the annual rent of 7,750/. ; and for the pre-
ceding three years they were let at 6,5151., being
an increase of 1,235/. per annum. The stem
which they were rented at 6 years ago was 5,3351.
per anuum.—( Liverpool Advertiser.)

DAILY EXTRACTS FROM TILE MORNING PAPERS,

September 29.

[BRITISH PRESS.]

The King, we-understand, means to return to
ngland about the time of the opening of Parlia-
.ment, which stands at present prorogued to the
9tl-1 of November. He goes direct to Hanover,
and probably will not extend his journey beyond '
.that kingdom during•his absence:. It was not his,
intention at -his departure to visit Paris on his
:return. Considerable alterations have already
commenced at St. James's and Carlton Palaces;
upon a plan for some time under consideration.
The fine suite of rooms in the former are under
repair, and the apartments in that Palace hitherto
occupied by Ladies of the late Queen Charlotte's
establishment, are .to be fitted up for reception
rooms, and other places of accommodation on
.public days as it is Majesty's intention there
- .to- hold his Court. Of -.these Ladies, two, I
-viz. Miss Brudenell and Miss Vernon, have
resided there upwards of fifty years, and one,
Aliss 'Coleman, thirty years. They have re-
ceived notice to quit in two months, and we do
not learn that other apartments have been pro-
. vided for them. Of Carlton Palace the founda-
tion has been. considered for some time defective,
in consequence of having -been laid on a soft and
sandy soil, and upon a recent survey the-roof has
been also pronounced unsafe. Some means will
therefore be adopted to strengthen and secure
the former-; a new roof will be substituted for
the present one, and the edifice, it is said, will
be raised another story. This last improve-
: ment is become necessary in consequence Of
the elevated buildings in front, in_ Regent-
street, which give the Palace a depressed ap-
pearance. These alterations being upon an
: extensive scale, and requiring considerable time
. for their completion, the. King on his r.e-
-• turn will make BuckingitamPalace,in St.James's
-.Park, his town residence. It is now in a perfect
state for his reception. Froth ,the convenience,
beauty, and capabilities of the place, it. isnot im-
probable that his Majesty may become so at-
tached to it as to make it his permanent abode
when in London. In this event, Carlton Palace
would be probably assigned for the accommoda-
tion of some of the branches of the Royal Family.

H E TIMES.]
A reduction in the establishment of the Bank
of England-is announced as about to be adopted.,
We recommend to notice the principles on which 1
this measure is to be grounded—the equity and
humanity which they are calculated to combine
with regulations of effectual economy. Nor are
the means to be overlooked by which the Bank
of England is thus enabled to do what all em-
ployer's of human talent and industry ought to
do—namely, make provision for the contingency
of old age or misfortune affecting those whose
services, while they are able to work, have been
faithfully rendered to their masters. For the
details of this reduction we refer to another co-
lumn. _ It will be seen that in the proposed ar-
rangement for the clerks, there is no penury, no
pretence, no jobbing ; all the dismissed clerks
are to receive annuities from the hour of their
diimissal ; and all are to have the option of
taking the annuity, or the value of it in money.
It will be said that the establishments of the
Government are too extensive to admit -of
such liberality to its discarded servants ; that
is what the country complains of ; the Mi-
nisterial establishments are too large for the
means of the State. It is for that reason
that Ministers cannot act fairly towards the pub-
lic officers : because they are wasteful, they
cannot be just. If the finances of the Bank of
England were overloaded with sinecures, and
preyed upon by the vermin of corruption, could
that great body afford to provide so liberally for
those whom it no longer continues in its daily.
service ? Nor is the Bank less wise than boun-
tiful : the f.tir prospect of a future maintenance"
secures their servants.from the appetite for fraud
and depredation. While he who knows that-he
may be dismissed by the same Caprice which has
appointed him, and that he will 'or may be left
destitute of what the humanity of his masters
ought to provide for him, must be tempted to
plunder while in office, that he may not starve
when turned out.
