geon to the King, and Mr. Simpson, surgeon to the

street. Mr. and Mrs. Secretary Canning, the Mar-
quis and Marchioness of Clanricarde, &c. were of the
dinner party given on Friday by his Lordship.
One of the Sunday Papers of yesterday states " that
the Duke of York has been ordered to be tapped ;"
but we hope that there is no truth in the statement.

DISTRESSED PRINTERS.—We understand that it
is the intention of his Royal Highness the Duke of
SUSSEX, with that liberality for which he is so dis-
tinguished, to honour with his Patronage the Benefit
for the Distressed Printers, intended to be taken at
the Coburg Theatre.

THE LATE LORD GIFFORD.--Yesterday morn-
ing, between eight and nine o'clock, the remains of
this Nobleman, in a hearse, followed by only one
mourning coach, arrived at the Rolls house in Chan-
cery-lane. • The body was placed on tressels in the
library, where by his Lordship's particular desire, it
will remain without any pomp or state. Even candles
are not to be lighted until the morning of its
final removal for interment, which is fixed to take
place at twelve o'clock to-morrow, in the vault of
the Rolls Chapel, adjoining the Court-house. The
Lord Chancellor has signified his intention of attend-
ing the funeral, which, no doubt, will be followed by
the principal law officers and other Gentlemen of the
profession.
On Friday, the Lord Mayor, and Lady Mayoress,
accompanied by Alderman Lucas, Atkins, and their
ladies, the City Solicitor, City Remembrancer, Chap-
lain, and a select party, went down the river in the
City of London steam-packet, to Sheerness. After
visiting the dock-yard, over which they were politely
conducted by Sir Edward Banks, the Lord Mayor
proceeded in the Water Bailiff's boat to Yantlet Creek,
for the purpose of ascertaining the practicability of
effecting a passage through it, and thus materially im-
proving the navigation of that part of the river. His
Lordship's party embarked from the Tower at half-
past seven in the morning ; took breakfast, dinner, and
tea on board, and returned to town in the evening,
having completed a- pleasure voyage of more than .112
miles in the course of one day.
Charles Kemble is returned to town, after performing
with great success in many of the provincial theatres.
He is at present occupied in preparing for the ensuing
campaign at Covent-garden, where, assisted by the
professional talents of Charles Young, it is intended to
revive, in the early part of the season, some favourite
legitimate dramas, which for several years have been
laid upon the shelf.
Mr. T. Moore is employed, we understand, in
writing the Life of Lord Byron, which is to accompany
a most splendid Edition of the Noble Author's
Works to be published by Murray.
Morton's new comedy will not be produced at
Covent-garden Theatre until after Christmas. The
principal serious and comic performers in that theatre
will be employed in this drama.
Frederick Reynolds has undertaken, on the part of
his friend Price, to read, superintend, and prepare for
representation all dramatic productions at Drury-lane
Theatre during the ensuing season.
An entirely new stage has been erected at Drury-
lane Theatre, and the, whole interior has been newly
painted and decorated, preparatory to the opening on
the 23d instant.

Attwood, whose good taste in the composition of
dramatic music was evinced in the great success of
several popular Operas, soon after his return from
abroad, where, under the patronage of his present
Majesty, he was the pupil of Mozart, is preparing a
Drama for Covent-garden Theatre.
The author of High Ways and Bye Ways has a
Tragedy at Drury-lane Theatre, which will be acted
during the ensuing season. Kean, on his return from
America, will perform the principal character.
An insolvent mug lately at a meeting of his creditors,
examined by a learned gentleman present very sharply,
as to the cause of his embarrassments ? " Why, Sir,
to tell you the honest truth, I have been arrested nearly
fifty times."—" Well, well, my friend," observed the
lawyer, " since you have been so often in our hands,
we are perfectly satisfied."
IHE FORCE OF CONSCIENCE.--A few days ago
a young urchin was employed to cleanse the chimneys
of a respectable mansion in this neighbourhood, and
having ascended to the " summit of his profession,"
quietly and deliberately seated himself on the stack
while he took a survey of the scene below him. This
completed, he proceeded to descend, but unfortunately
mistaking the flue which had been the field` of his
labours, :he found himself at his landing in the private
asstoiotdis duetted to
study of a limb of the law, whose meditations on some
