BLENHEIM.

(From a Correspondent.) —The nation will
shortly have to deplore the destruction of one of
its superbest ornaments, and of that which was
intended to have been an everlasting monument
of its gratitude towards the family and descendants
of one of the greatest men that ever adorned this
country. From the decision in the Court of Chan 4
eery on Saturday last, by which it appears that
the present Duke of Marlborough has, by Act of
Parliameh;, every right of a tenant entail (save
that of alienation), consequences the most la-
mentable /dust inevitably flow. The creditors of
his Grace will seize upon the property ; one
sweeping blow will level with the ground that
titre timber so long the pride and ornament of the
place, Ind the once beautiful park of Blenheim
will shortly become but a desert waste.—(Morn
ing Post, Dec. 21.)

[New Times.]

The late alarm of Revolution in Spain seems
quite blown over: Even The -Morning Chronicle
appears satisfied of the fact that Government has
received DO dispatches announcing ,such 'an event :
and we may add, that it never had any reason to
expect advices of site!) a nature. We do not pre-
tend to advocate the cause of King ,Ferdinand, or
to say shat party it might be wished should nb•
tain the lead in Spain : we simply confine ourselves
to'the fact, of whith we are well persuaded, that
no Revolution bas taken place, nor do eve think
such an event probable ; hut we must honestly
confess, that the affairs of that country are involved
in very great obscurity; and eve put little faith in
the perspicacity of those among our•contempora-•
ries who imagine that they see their way clearly.
through such a labyrinth. Letters from Naples
state the King to have been very alarmingly
hut add that he had g‘ot mite') better, and was
considered in a state of convalescence. He is a
very strong hearty man, about 68, years of age,
' and has enjoyed a remarkably 'goad state of
health, never having had one day' of serious ill-
ness before.

this division of parties, for now at least each will

the Independents is the Charter ; it is their watch-

on the opening of the Session, in the passage of
the Royal Speech where his Majesty recommended
a watch over revolutionary principles. M.CllazaT

was shouted front all parts with enthusiasm.—
They followed It by the cry of Vivent !es Bourbons!
but not above a dozen could be fouud to second
it. What a lesson for‘these mischief-makers ! who
would affect to separate the KING from his family,
and make it believed that their interests were not
the same.

In your private letter to me you express your
fears of the preponderance of revolutionary prin-
ciples : if by these you understand the principles
of 1789, 90, and 91, you may rest assured that
they are fixed on the firmest bases, and that no-
thing can shake them, not even all Europe leagued
in arms ; but if you mean by the expression, the

THE THEATRE.

COVENT-GANDEN The applause excited by
the excellent representation of The Rivals, at this
Theatre, on Thursday, and the numerous audience
that attended it, induced the Managers to bring it
forward again last night, instead of The Clan-
destine Marriage, which had been announced. The
Rivals is certainly not equal to The School for
Scandal in brilliancy of dialogue, but it pos.
Sesses a greater variety of characters, andop
better suited to the taste of a general andierik.7o,
except as to the relined iniNcrio's of Faulk-
land and Julia. It was as well visited as on
the preceding night, and it was full as well
represented by the Performers. Mr. PARREN
already become a popular Actor, and his Sir An -
,thony Absolute is well calculated to increase his
reputation. it is, indeed, rather surprising,
that a young man (for it is said that he
is only twenty-five years old), should have so
completely identified himself with the character
of Age in his performance. Mrs. DAN,' EXPORT ;ivies
a very appropriate support to Mrs. Malaprop,
but if she could contrive to soften the force of her
screams, they would certainly be more agreeably ope-
rativeupontheauditory's nerves.—JoNEs improved
last night upon his Sir Lucius, but the part certainly
requires a more decided brogue, anti something. more
formidable in figure. Captain Absolute, Faukland,
Julia, and Lydia Languish, were again ably sup.
ported by C. ii:EmBLE, YOUNG, Mrs. FAUCIT, and
Miss BRUNTON. lirhile Managers revive such
Cotnedies, and support them with such talents,
we hope, tor the credit of the Public, that they
will not .have.occa,ion to disgrace their Theatres
by Tumblers and sleight-ol hand tricks, but obtain
liberal patronage by a due maintenance of the
regular Drama in both of its legitimate depart-
tHentS.

INFAMOUS CONDUCT OF A WATCHMAN.

MA E IBORoUGU-STiIEET —Yesterday four Gen-
tlemen were brought to this office, charged by
Ronsey, a watchman in Tottenhain-court-road,
with assaultit,g him while on duty. He repre-
sente,4, that he offered no provotation to the Gen-
tlemen, but being attacked by them, he with
difficulty sprung his rattle, and secured them
Mr. Avten, the first defendant called upon, said
he resided at 226, Tot tenham-conrt-road ; he had
been spending the evening with some friends ;
he was -returning home, and seeing a man sleep-
ing upon the pavement, his-head against the door,
and his heels over the pavement, he observed to his
friends,that some accident might befit him it he con-
tinned there; not conceiving him to be a watchman
On duty, lie lifted up the•man's foot,.and desired
him to move ; upon which the Mall rose and struck
him violently on the forehead With a- large stick,
and inflicted a wound of siAtigitesin length ; he
also struck M r. Dean, his coriipaiiiini; and fractured
his skull. These two gentlemen exhibited the
matks of the watchman's violence, and called a.
gentleman to snbstaotiate their statement, when
Mr. Brookes, of Euston-square, stepped forward.
lie said he had left the gentlemen in custody a mi-
nute or two only, they were pet feet ly steady and not
the least intoxicateU; hearing the watchman's rattle,
he went to the spot ; he saw the watchman strike
Mr. Ayteo, anti knock hint down with a stick
three several times. Mr. Ayten, Mr. Dean, and
Mr. Johnson, of Chapel-street, another of the
gentlemen in custody, were carried off to the
watch-house. Witness accompanied them ; when
they arrived there, the watchman perceiving that
he 4)14 bad seen the transaction, and to prevent
his evidence being received against him, he too
was. accused of being concerned in the affray.
After some time it was found necessary that
medical assistance should be obtained for the
two wounded -Gentlemen, and they were
conveyed to the Middlesex Hospital, and were
compelled to attend the office to answer the
watchman's complaint. Mr. BAKER regretted the
disastrousrreatment the Gentlemen had met with,
and reprobated, in energetic terms, the infamous
conduct of the watchman ; he told the Gentlemen
they were discharged, and addressing himself to
the watchman, be said, " shall hold you to bail
to answer any charge these Gentlemen may prefer
against you." The Gentlemen expressed their
determination to prosecute the fellow to the ut-
most rigour of the law.

a number of vagrants, who had assembled in the

peared so formidable to the respectable inhabit-
ants. Most of them said they hail no other Once
to go to, and were passed to their partshes, atter

CLIMBING BOYS.

Petitions the practice of employing
Climbing Boys in sweeping of chimnies, and in

favour of the Chiniiwy Sw-,!epers' Regulation 13111,

Stamford Hill, Stoke Newington, and Newing4on
Green ; by the Marquis of Camden, from Chelms-
ford ; a Petition from Shrewsbury, and other
Prtiiions, from difirent quarters, to the same
etlect.

Lord AUCKLAND gave notice of his intention
to move the second reading of the Cbininey
Sweeper's Regulation Bill on Tuesday next.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE put it to the Noble
Lord, Whether the House could be in a situation
to give an opinion upon the Bill without having
evidence before their Lordships to chew that
Chimnies could be properly swept by Machinery.
The Earl at Livraeoot. said, he had not at pre-
sent formed any opinion upon the subject, hut
his idea was that the Bill should be allowed to
go to the second reading, and that in the Com-
mittee evidence should be examined on both sides
of the question.
. _

Lord AUCKLAND said, he did not mean to op,
pose the exatnimvioh of evidence ; he thought it
right, however, to state, that when the Report of
the Committee of tue House of Commons upon
this subject, which was now printing, was before
the Rouse,. a great bot►.y of evidence would be
found in it.

iMany rumours have I .rely prevailed respecting
'the time at' which Parliament would be assembled
for the dispatch of

vember was even pointed out as the day fixed for
its meeting. We have reasons to believe that ,the
SesSions will not commence in November, and
probably not till the usual time after Christmas.
it is well known that .the iotcotion of the Prince
Beizent on kilo subject must be g xpyt•scd by Pro-

THE MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 14.

Having had a very large 'supply of Wheat in
the course of last week, and bat' little demarid, a
considerable proportion remained over for this
mornings market, when we had fresh arrivals from
Essex, sent, and Suffolk, and having hut few
buyers,- salei Were exceedingly heavy at a reduction
or full 4s. per quarter trout the prices of this
day ►week, and, even at that decline, very fe►v
Sales evula be, ef'ected. Barley le also 4s. per quar-
ter cheaper, Ibe supply of that article from the
ab ,ve comities and Norfolk e?cceeding the
immediate der-limo, consequently a large quantit y
renntinS unsold. Oats are is. and Beans full
2M. per, quarter lover, and scarcely any sale
fur Foreign,
_fete ticutarly those from the Medi-
terranean. White Pease are nearly unsaleable,
and Grey ones are full 2s. per quarter cheaper.

SMITHFIELD, Mc:. 14.
This daj's Market was abundantly supplied with prime fat
Cattle, most of which were the Christmas show. Although
So large a supply of Beasts, Beef was full as dear as or: Mon-
day last, and the Trade uncommon brisk. The show of Sheep
was also large, and much business doing, and prices some-
what' ebe4per than on Friday. Veal was dearer; Pork at
last week's prices, and very few buyers of that article at this
day's market. The Trade in the Hay Market was lively tt:is
morning, and flay fetched Friday's quotations; Clover has
got up in price, and sales of that article brisk ; straw
mains nominal as per last, and the Trade dull. 'The annexe}

LORD L.'I,I",ENnOROUGII.

We are sorry to info-m 1' )11c, that yester-
day evening, a; six o'clock, this vene; tole Noble-
man departed this life, at 11;s hots,t in st. James's-
square. A more t juillfe never adorned the
legal Tribunals of his Country. He was a sound
Scholar, possessed firsf-rate abilities, and Wa,,
profoundly skilled in the knowledge of that Pro-
fession of which he Was so bright an ornament.
As an Advocate, he was zealous, diligent, and
firm, and did not stoop to those arts, in order to
serve a Client by cajoling a Jary, which are too
oiten practised, but urged the fair Claims of Jus-
tice with determined fervour.—As a proof that
he was not inclined to a despotic exercise of the
authority belonging to the high station which he
occupied, we nosy adduce the case of Mr. HONE,
%rho was suffered to take such liberties with the
Court as never would have been tolerated by m.)st of
his Lordship's predecessors. We are not blaming
M r.HoNE tor the zeal and energy ofaelf- vindication,
but we may fairly commend the Chief Justice for
the candour and temper with which he permitted
the defendant to advocate his own cause. Lord
ELLENnonovoit had been declining in health
some time,- and from the account of his alarm-

lug state, which we received yesterday from a high
Law Authority, we expected to hear that his
sufferings would terminate i❑ the course of the
