THE CONSPIRACIE-S.

Zstape and Recapture of Egock, an Accomplice

with VAUGHAN, the nfirer.

Brock,
whose name must be iresh in the recol-
lection Of our Readers as an accomplice wi!h
Vougitart, the Bow-street, Officer, made his escape
from an upper window, this morning, in front of
GiltspurLstrcet Compter. His Hight was obserVei
by a butcher's boy, who immediately rang the
alarm bell at the prison door, and communicated
the circumstance, on which information was with-
out loss of time given to the City and other Offi-
cers, when, lot tunately, one of the former traced
the fugitive to the lodgings of his wife, in Dritri-
lane, where he apprehended him, and safely eon-
ducted him back to his (Aqua rters.--At the timeour
Paper went to press the LOun MAYOR was sitting
at the Mansion House, investigating the tityste
riot's escape of Brock. Vaughan is, we believe,
in the same prison ; but there is no truth in the
rumour that be alto escaped. There is a
great crowd about the Mansion. House, awaiting
the determination of the Magistrates on this oc-
casion. There 'is also a multitude, assembled
round the prison, where the staunchions appear
broken ; but it is not likely that this could, have
been accomplished by the single effort of the PH.
toner.

'BRIGHToN. AUG.7.—At eight o'clock yesterday
evening the PRINCE REGENT, accomErmied by the
Duke of Cambridge, the Earl of Fife, and General
Sir B. Bloomfield, arrived at the Pavilion. Soots
afterwards the Dukes of York and Cambridge,
with a select party of Noblemen,-dined with the
Prince Regent. This morning a merry pear of
bells welcomed the arrival of the illustrious visi-
tors. We, understand that the. Royal Party intend
honouring Lewes races with their presence, but
the morning being so unfavourable may probably
postpone the visit. The Duke of York has regu-
larly honoured the Stine Parade with his pre-
sence in the morning and afternoon ; his Royal
Highness enjoys the various rides upon the Downs
and, in the neighbourhood. This morning the
Thomas Packet, Captain,Clear, sailed for Dieppe
with 30 passengers. The Duke of Wellington.
Captain Cole, sailed on the preceding day with
27 passengers for Dieppe.
NEW SI-Ram—The intention of continuing
the new street from Carlton House to Portland-
place, is abandoned, at least, for the present, but
the plan is to be actively carried into execution,
as far as erecting the Circus in Piccadilly, the
north-west crescent of which will terminate the
view from the PRINCE REGENT'S Palace. The
houses in. Pall Mall, 'froin the Chevalier ltusPm's
to the corner of John-street, are to be new
fronted and s.uccoed, to correspond with the two
just built by Mr. WaGNott ; that which forms the
corner of the new' quadratigle, the ground-rent
of. which amounts to 2001. a-year, has recently
teen-taken by Mr. GoWSN. of the City, and is
the -only new one yet let. 'The interest it, the
builiiings. between John-street and George-street,

VMIGRATION.---,(Short Tour.)—An Blest)
Gentleman set out last week for a tour in France.
He got to Culais,• liked the trine, drank plenti-
fully, and was carried to bed. About midnight
the 41911Seit of the lea voyage returned upon him
with tremendous violence ; he rang for his ser-
vant, swore that French living did not agree with
him,- and was dressed in time to return at daylight
.by the same packet which landed him in the desk
the night before.

CORONER'S INQUEST.--Yesterday there was an
inquest held at the Barley-mow, Mount-street,
Grosvenor.square, before Air. Lewis, on the body
of Mary Close, who died in the street on the pre-
ceding day. Jt appeared from the evidence of.
George Womack and Robert CoHinson, paupers
in St. George's workhouse, that having been in-
formed a person was in w dying state in the street
in Shepherd's-market, they went there and found
the deceased as stated ishe could speak, anti- re-
'quested them to let her remain lin the step of a
door for a few minutes, but the owner' of the
house °Helsel her to go away, and they placed
her on a. butcher's-stall in the market ;. the -
butcher. also -ordered her away, and they took
her to,a place adjoining called the Rabbit-hutch ;
and bung again desired to be taken away, she was
laid
,down in the sjrect : she said her name Was
Mary Close, she was 22 years of age, and then
expired. A, Medical Gentleman from Mayfair
was sent for, who, on his arrival, declared it wiis
uselesS to apply any remedies, as she was, quite
dead. The deceased was known about Piccadilly
and Grosvenor,square, selling water;cresses ; she-
warOntlensive in her manner, and died with her
little basket beside her, in which were a.lew half-
pence, and some crusts of. bread; it is believed
'she came froor the vicinity of Knightsbridge, -and
being exposed to the inclemency, of the weather,
from the manner in which she sought her
lim!, it contributed to- her dissolution. As she
•had some money and bread abOut her) the Jnry
were of -opinion she did not die through want,
and teturned-a Verdict.i.Died tty• the Visitation of

A boy was drowned on Monday in the White

;
ENot.f'”l OPitu-s. Last night the operatic
anecdote of Fredesick Ike Great was performed for
the first time th s sensou, with consideral,k
tions in the cast of the characters. .Mr..IIoRN,
as the representative of Parks., Baron cf feldleitn,
acted,orcasionally with considerable spirit, and
sang with much taste. lie was justly encored in
,the air," I thee ever dearly." Miss KELLY,
its Matilda, was truly admirable. .Nothing could
exceed the vat iety of her action, her natural tran-
sitions, and the toll dkplay of talent suited .to
every passion .and .situation belonging . to. the
part. Mr..StiottT, in Theodore.d*Hartman, con-
firmed our-favourable_ opinion of hint both, as
Actor and Singer. Indisposition, we llndelatalld,
has recently kept. hint from:the public view,--ra
matter the more to be regretted, since, be can so
materially.contribute to the public pleasure as, be
did last night. Mr. BARTLEY sustained the .part
of Brandt with judgment, and the minor charac-
ters were. adequately: supported by airs. ORGER,
GATTIE, COMP,RY, 1111.1EATLEY, IV S. CHATTER-
LEY, and RossEt.t... We advised the. Managers to
soften down the equivorptes in " Old Customs,"
more honoured in the breach than in the observ-
ance of such indecency.--They have not taken
our advice, and last night the piece was over-
whelmed with a storm of disapprobation.

LIMERICK TLIEATRICALS, JULY 30.—We are
assured Mr. Tat.hot will open the Theatre here
on Sattirday, with a very excellent company of his
own, and the aid of some London actors as visi-
tors...—We are as positively assured that Mr. Phil-
lips does not conic down to the Old Theatre, as
reported.—Mrs; t:Edwin, Who is' engaged to go
with Holman to America, has reinSed to come,
unless Mr. Jones takes the New Theatre ; and
Mr. Liston declares he is not engaged for the Old
House.—Mr, ‘Vehb, the famous performer of Irish
characters, and so muclVadmired as a,singer of
Irish songs, is the first London actor who makes
his appearance on Saturday night -7-;.lte.port says
Mr. Jones dffered,great terms for rfie New House,
which, Sir. Talbot refused—the offer was, five
poundi per night, Mr. Talbot's demand was 15
guineas per night, which Mr. Jones said he could
nut afford to pay.

The following additional verse, from the pen or
11r. CoLmAiy, is to he sung with the National
Authem at the_ Haymatket this evening, in ho-
nour of the puke and Duchess of GLovcasTaa :

Till echoes ring;

May she prove blos'd and fair,
Long live the Noble Pair,
