FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS.

The Lord Chancellor, Mr. Secretary Can-
ning, and Lord Bexley, had audiences yesterday of the
King, at his Palace i❑ St. James's.
Although the Lord Chancellor sent in his re-
signation on Thursday afternoon, the Noble Earl, it is
expected, will retain the Seals for a month longer, till he
ha* given judgment in the causes that have been heard be-
fore him.

Mr. Peel, after haying resigned on Thursday
afternoon, sent the official papers and boxes to the Home
Office.—The ;tight Hon. Gentleman has been frequently.
to the Duke of Wellington's within the last few days.
In consequence of the new Ministerial ar-
rangements, the cards which were severally issued by
those Ministers who give dinners on the day on which
the King's birth-day is celebrated (the 23d inst.), were
stopped.
Mr. Canning was riding on horseback yester-
day morning in the Parks, at the early hour of eight
o'clock.

The Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of Glou-
cester, the Princesses Sophia, Feodore, and Victoria,
sited the Princess Augusta yesterday.

His Grace the Duke of Argyll, Sir Henri'
Osbourn, Bart., Madoribanks, Esq. and Ladies, and
Mrs. Stanhope and Miss Stanhope, have left Nerot's Hotel
and Baths, Clifford and Cork-streets.

The paragraph about Miss Foote in The
Sun yesterday is, we are informed, incorrect. Mr.
Price made no attempt to induce Miss Foote to give up
playing fer Mr. Fawcett's benefit. Mr. Price never spoke
nor thought of doing any thing of the kind. He has
merely declined to engage Miss Foote, which perhaps has
led to this false report.

A new theatre has just been finished at Ge-
noa, which is the largest in the world. It is built by
Priascho, of Turin, the architect of the theatres of Saint
Charles, at Naples, and of Argennes, at Turin. It is
much larger than the Scala de Milan, and the stage is
about four feet wider than the theatre of St. Charles. The
building cost 1,200,000 francs, and the scenery and deco.
rations, by San Qeirigo, are valued at 1,800,000 francs.
It was built in one year, and will be opened on the 24th of
May next. Several Sovereigns are expected at the first
representation.

It is a singular fact, that his Majesty is lite-
rally descended from King Henry 11., and that, should the
Duke of Clarence succeed George the Fourth, it will be the
first break in the lineal descent of the family since the
twelfth century. To illustrate this observation, we give a
statement of the direct lineal descent of his Majesty King
George the Fourth.—Henry 11. King of England, had a
daughter, Maud, who married Henry the Lion, Duke of
Bavaria and Saxony, who had William of Luneuburgh, who
married Helena, daughter of Worldemer, King of Denmark,
and had Otho, Duke of Brunswick and Lunenburgh, who
had Albert the Great, Duke of Brunswick, who had Al-
bert the Fat, Duke of Brunswick, who had Magnus, Duke
of Brunswick, who had Magnus Torquat, Duke of
Brunswick and Lunenburg, who had Bernard, Duke of
of Brunswick and Lunenburgh, whoL uhnaedniFmrregidelr,icu ho had
Frederick, Duke
of Lunenburgh, who had Otho the Great, Duke of Lunen-
burgh, who had Henry, Duke of
Ernest, Duke of Lunenburgh, who had William, Duke of
Lunenburgh, Zell, who had Elizabeth, who married Fre-
derick, King of Bohemia, and had George, Prince of Cal-
lenbar and Duke of Hanover, who had Sophia, who mar-
ried Ernest Augustus, Bishop of Osnaburgh, and Elector
of Brunswick Lunenburgh, and had George, by the Grace
of God, King of Great Britain, &c. who had George the
Second, who had Frederick Prince of Wales, who had
George the Third, who had his present Majesty.
STAGES.—About 150 years ago, in the
year 1672, when throughout Great Britain only six stage
coaches were constantly going, a pamphlet was written by
one John Cresset, of the Charter House, for their sup-
pression, and among the many grave reasons given against
their continuance is the following :—" These stage coaches
make Gentlemen come to London on every small occasion,
which otherwise they would not do but upon urgent neces-
sity ; nay, the convenience of the passage makes their
wives often come up, who, rather than come such long
journies on horseback would stay at home. Here, when
they have come to town, they must presently be in time
mode, get fine clothes, go to plays and treats, and by these
means get such a habit of idleness and love of pleasure, that
they are uneasy ever after."
Margaret Carbery, for administering poison
to Thomas Carbery, was found guilty, and sentenced to
death, at the Assizes of Maryborough. The facts of this
unfortunate girl's crime are already before the public. In-
duced by a young man to whom she was about to be mar-
ried, she administered poison, in butter-milk, to her
father, mother, brothers, and sisters, to obtain the pro-
perty of thofamilY.— Tipperary Free Press.

Denis IVl,Dermot, on the same day, was found
guilty of the murder of Patrick Dunn, at ClonasleQ, parish
of Reary, on the 17th January last. This horrible trans-
action was also before the public. Ikl‘Dermot supped,
prayed, and retired to bed with his unsuspecting victim,
whom he murdered while sleeping, robbed the house, and
set fire to it, in the hope of concealing his crime.— Tip.
