worth about 151., with which he escaped; without
the slightest trace for discovery.

INcr.Enor4.—We regret to learn, (rota the
Worcester Chronicle, that this veteran vocalist,
who was to have sung at a concert in that city,
last Monday, was prevented attending, " having
experienced a paralytic seizure, which, we la-
ment to say, it is feared will be followed by fatal.
consequences."

THE THEATRE.

COVENT-GMIDEN.—The Tempest, not as slam.
ply, beautifully, and sublimely drawn by SLIME...,
sreAtta, but disfigured by the tasteless and absurd
alterations of DRYDEN, was represented last
night. Miss CAMEL, who made her first appear-
ance last season in an unsuccessful play, last
night assumed the part of the 44 delicate ..cfricl,"
in which she was light and effective in gesture,
land sung with great sweetness. She was much
and deservedly applauded. Miss PATON was all
that could be desired in the senseless part of
Dorinda, though it was much to be regretted that
her fine musical and theatrical powers were AO
misemployed. WARDIL displayed an awful dig.,
nity in the part of Prospero, which cannot but
confirm the very favourable opinion of the public,
BLANCHARD and FAILitIIN were very humorous
and diverting in Trinculo and Stepbano, and
RAYNER'S Caliban was sufficiently uncouth; tur.
bulent, and savage. As far as the performance
altogether was concerned, the play was well sup.
ported ; but taste, judgment, and reverence foe
a matchless Poet, demand Time Tempest as it
came pure from the author. A crowded house,

TIIE SERPENTINE RIVER.

The appearance of the ice yesterday was much improved by
the exertions of the sweepers, who cleared all that part on the
north aide where the fashionable vehicles can approach..
The exhibition of excellent skaters in that quarter was
prohibited the preceding day, by the notices from the Royal ;
Humane Society, expressing on sign-boards, in large capitals,
the word " Dangerous." Yesterday it was otherwise, the ice,
from the intenseness of the night's frost, being increased two
inches in thickness. One great alloy to die enjoyment was
the roughness of the ice in this quarter, from the rippling wind
which prevailed on the first night of its freezing—namely, on
Saturday last for on all the preceding clays the surface of
that and of the River was daily cleared for the supply of ice-
wells. The brilliancy of the sun yesterday drew forth all
ranks and descriptions, flocking to this scene of health
and pleasnre. The carriages were more numerous than on
the preceding day, and filled with the first fashionables.—
In the various circles we saw the figures three and eight, the
Turk's cap, &c. cut in a style of ease and elegance, quite
equal to what former times have produced. But we look in
vain for a Captain Caulfield, with his soynersett over chair
backs, and his spread eagles extending quite across the river.—
We see no Argylls, Pagets, Villiers,llyngs, or Blighs.

STATE OF TnAuE.---From all the information we
can collect, we have no doubt that trade is recovering.
It is not to be expected that the improvement can
be „ry sudden and striking; we must content our-
selves for some time with favourable symptoms. Con-
siderable orders for manufactured goods are daily
caning from Germany; they are by no means so ex-
tensive or important as to justify the sanguine hopes
which many parsons indulge in. There is also a fair
deulaud from. South America, but many of the orders
from this quarter are, for goods on credit, and which
will thetefpre not be executed.—,.. 'reonan's Journal.

EXPEDITION TO GREECE.

nister at the Court of London could permit himself to be-
come the !Allject of streh a political hoax, (for such I must
consider it, unless I suppose him to be hoaxing his own'

which these things never could have been at-

us with elegant and cheap garments, and
enabled us to compete with all the world in
the fabric of the loom ? the Barbers, Ark.

and inconsiderable manufacture into an ele-

a sensation that contributes to increase the un-
settled state of the Market : by some it is as-
serted, that the maintenance of BEam,tooTTE
on the Throne of Sweden, is a principal oh-
ject of negociation, while others conceive the
prevention of hostilities with Turkey, to be
the real occasion of the DUKE'S journey, inde-
pendent of complimentary etiquette. The visit
of the Ex-Monarch of Sweden to the Arch.
duke CONSTANTINE has given rise to vari.
ous rumours on this question, and amongst
the rest, of a determination by the late EM-
PEROR to restore the ancient Family to the
Throne of Sweden. Whatever may be the
military power of Russia, the financial re•
sources of that vast Empire, are at present so
disproportioned to its physical strength, that thy'
speculators may divest themselves of the appre-
hension of the new Emperor involving himmelf
in hostilities simultaneously with time Swedes and
the Ottomans.

There has been but little business—the money

THE PARKS.—En consequence of the continued
severity of the weather, the Serpentine River in Hyde Park,
and the Canal in St. James's, are now .sufficiently frozen to
bear with safety any number of persons. Yesterday the former
was covered with skaters and sliders; among the former we
noticed several young Noblemen, who went through a number
ofastonishing manoeuvres, to the great amusement of a vast mul-
titude of fashionably-dressed females, who lined the banks of
the river. Various ingenious figures were cut on the ice by the
skaters, although in their evolutions a nurnberof dangerous falls
took place. Among the Gentlemen we observed the Hon, 0,
Ponsonby, who described a greal variety of figures. Several
races by the skaters took place. The Basin in the Green Park,
as well as Rosamond's Pond, was thronged with men and boys,
but the latter predominated, and the sport was chiefly confined •
to sliding. One youth was immersed in the water, but was
soon extricated by the by-standers. The Canal in St. James's
Park was completely covered, chiefly with persons of the lower
ranks. Since the fatal occurrence of last Tuesday, the number
of men belonging to the Humane Society, in attendance, has
been doubled. •

The Etoile of Wedues(Aay confirms the intelli-
gence of the unsuccessful revolt at 'St. ,Peters-
burgh iu favour of Constantine. It appears, as
we stated yesterdly, that the mutiny began with
the Moscow regiment, of which he is, or sus,
commander. They probably supposed thut
Nicholas was acting treasonably towards his
brother, and therefore, instead of transferring
their allegiance, they sallied from, their barracks
with their colours, and proclaimed Constantine I,
They were joined by the grenadier regiment of
the bodyguard and the marines of the guard,
and their number 80011 amount4,to nearly 2,000
rmen. General Miloradovitch, in attempting
to harangue them, was killed by a pistol shot.
The Emperor Nicholas hiMself addressed' them
without etrect, explaining the circumstances
under which his brOther had renounced his
right of inheritance. The mutineers were ob-
stinately deaf. The other troops in the:garrison
and the artillery were. then ordered to advance,
and the rebels were attacked, dispersed; and
pursued in every direction. About WO are
stated to have perished on this melancholy occa-
sion. Would that this may be the only blood

Wallingford, in the room of Colonel Robarts, who has taken the
Chiltern Hundreds.
On the Motion of Mr. W. SMITH, certain Re-
turns were ordered, relative to the quantity of Malt in the Distil-
leries of Great Britain.

CORN LAWS.—ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.
Mr. HUSKISSON presented a Petition from Old
and New Lanark, praying that no alteration might be made in
the Corn Laws.
Mr. BARING moved for a Return of the Average
Price of Wheat, Barley, Rye, Oats, &c. in Guernsey, in the
years 1821 and 1826 ; and for Copies of any restriction prevail-
ing in that Island against the export of grain, or duties upon its
import. The Honourable Member observed, that he understood
that Guernsey enjoyed a free trade in corn ; that it might be ex-
ported to, and imported from, all parts of the world ; and he
wished, if possible, to ascertain, what the effect of such a state
of law had been. He might take this opportunity of inquiring
what was the intention of Ministers with regard to the recess,
and how soon after what were usually called the Christmas Ho-
' lidays2 Parliament would again be assembled.?
Mr. PEEL was not quite sure that a particular day
had been determined upon, but he apprehended that the House
would adjourn to an early day after the usual holidays.
Mr. BARING added, that it was of importance
not to leave the country long in uncertainty upon the question of

the Corn Laws.
Mr. HUME confirmed the statement of his lion.
Friend, that Guernsey was free from all duty on the export or
import of grain ; the Island was besides exempted from the pay-
ment of taxes—yet this country was called upon, nevertheless, to
pay for the whole civil establishment, and even to pay and clothe
the militia. He had repeatedly pressed upon Government the
injustice of such an exemption and charge.
Mr. G. DAWSON gave notice of his intention,
after the recess, to move for leave to bring in a Bill for the better
Maintenance of Illegitimate Children in Ireland.

JOINT STOCK COMPANIES.

Mr. D. W. HARVEY gave notice, that unless the
Law Officers of the Crown anticipated him, and thus rendered
Inv interference unnece*eary, be would, on an early day after
the adjournmeikt, move for leave to bring in a Bill to regulate
the Formation and Liabilities of Joint Stock Companies.
COURT OF CHANCERY.

Mr. SPENCE, pursuant to notice, rose to move
for certain returns relative to the arrears in the Court of Chancery.
His object, he said, was to show, that in consequence of the great
pressure of business, it was impossible" for any Judge, whatever
might be his physical strength and abilities, to hear cases of fur-
ther directions within that reasonable time which the suitors in
Chancery had a right to expect. That such delays existed in
cases of further directions, was not disputed by any body, and his
own experience afforded ample evidence of the fact. Independent
of the arrear of cases of further directions,before theLordChancellor,
before the Vice-Chancellor they amounted to 188, and before the
Master of the Rolls to 57. He also wished to obtain a return of

the number of bills filed on the Equity side of the Exchequer

for three years prior to 1817 ; anda return of the num-
ber of Decrees on thq Equity side of the Exchequer,
during the same period. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then
stated that he would move for a similar Return of the business
done on the Equity side of the Court of Exchequer, for three
years subsequent to the year 1817, in order to show how far the
regulations adopted in that year had proved efficient for the pur-
pose of relieving the Courts of Chancery from the mass of busi-
ness with which they were overloaded. He understood that while
the Chancery Courts were overloaded with business, not more than

tree causes were-at present set down in the Equity side of the
Exchequer before the Chief Baron. He hoped, therefore, that he
should have the concuerence of the Right Hon. Secretary (Mr.
Peel), when he moved for a Return of the business done in the
Court of Exchequer, both on the Law and Equity side, during the
period which he had mentioned ; and the other returns which he
had noticed,
Mr. BATTLEY seconded the motions.
Mr. Secretary PEEL, after having heat& the terms
of the motions read from the Chair, observed, that there were
some things in them of which no notice had been given, and to
these he could not agree in the absence of those who were most
competent to judge of the matter. He did not know that there
would be any object►on to make the returns as minutely and fully
as the Hon. and Learned Gentleman chose. But, tir the pre-
sent, he could agree to nothing beyond the Returns of which the
Hun and Learned Gentleman had given notice.
Mr. SPENCE then said, that he would prefer
withdrawing his motions for the present, in order to bring them
forward when the Gentlemen to whom the Right Hon. Secretary
alluded should be present in their places.
The. motions were accordingly withdrawn.

WINDSOR, DEC, 6.--On Monday afternoon, at
half-past one o'clock, his. MAJESTY left the Royal
Lodge in his pony phaeton, accompanied by his at-
tendants in the double-bodied phaeton, with the re-
gular retinue of out-riders. On leaving the Royal
Lodge his MAJESTY took the route by Cumberland
Lodge and the Blackness Road to Virginia Water,
where he inspected the New Bridge, which is in a for-
ward state of completion, and the New Fishing Temple.
which has been lately finished ; after which his MA-
JESTY returned by the Obelisk and Norfolk Farm to
the Great Park, where he took some drives, and re-
turned to the Royal Lodge at four o'clock.
On Monday his MAJESTY sent a messenger to
Mr. Wyattville to inform him that he would yester-
day, at two o'clock, visit the Castle, in order to in-
spect the progress made since his last visit, and like-
wise to make choice of different specimens for the de-
coration of his suite of apartments, which are ready
for his inspection at the Castle ; but the weather in
the afternoon proving very unfavourable, his MA-
JESTY did not leave the Royal Lodge. lithe weather
should prove favOurable this day, it is expected that
his MAJESTY will visit the Castle. His MAJESTY
enjoys excellent health.
