INDISPOSITION OF THE DUKE OF CLARENCE.

BRIGHTON, JAN. 21.—We yesterday mention-
ed that the Duke of CLARENCE had left the Pa-
vilion for Combe Place, to dine there with Capt.
SHIFFNRII, and afterwards to attend the Ball at
the County Hall at Lewes, given to their Com-
mander by the Officers of Captain SHIVFNER'S
Corps of Yeomanry Cavalry. His Royal High-
ness dined at Combe Place, honoured with his
presence the Ball, which was most numerously
and elegantly attended, and frequently joined in
the dance. From Lewis his Royal Highness re-
turned to Conibe Place to sleep ; hut after he had
some time retired to rest, he became suddenly in-
disposed. Towards eight o'clock this tnorning an
express readied the Pavilion with an account of
the Duke's illness, and Dr. TIERNEY, ins post-
chaise and four, instantly proceeded to Combe
Dr..Tlßat•zev returned to the Pavilion
about-eleven o'clock, and the account he brought
considerably allayed-the anxieties of the REGENT.
The Duke had suffered much pain from spasms in
the chest, owing to obstructed bile, hut received
great relief, and was niuch better, before Dr.
TIELNEv left him. This favourable account only
prevented a journey to Combe Place by the RE-
GENT in perion. Dr. TIERNEY 0000 more left
the Palace to attend his Royal Patient, at five
o'c-lock this afternoon, to remain at Captain
SHIFFNER'S all night, and to accompany the Duke
iu Kris 1.. Ilan to the t'avilion to-morrow.

Tile PRINCE RECINT took exercise on horse-
back in the Itirtia2.,ellool. this ,Itertmon.

SACRILFGE.•••••••011 Monday night some villians
broke into Kennington Chapel, whence they
stole a great number of prayer-books, testaments,
&c. ; they also broke into a vestry-room, and
forced open several cupboards, drawers, &c.,
whence they stole the communion-plate, sur-
plices, and several other articles, • and effected
their escape undiscovered.
DETERMINED SUICIDE.-Yesterday a young
man was observed walking about in a • me-
lancholy mood near the basin in 'Hyde Park, and
in a moment he sprung over the railings into
the water. The persons who saw him imme-
diately procured a drag and got him out,
and carried him in an insensible state to St.
George's Hospital. He was there recognized to be
a young man of a respectable family, trained Bruce,
aid had been reduced in circumstances. He
came to London, but could not find employ ;
and having spent all his money, he formed a
resolution of putting an end to his existence.—
A few weeks ago he cut his throat in a most dread-
ful manner at his lodgings, and was taken to St.
George's Hospital : by the attention of the medi-
cal gentlemen he was soon out of danger. His si-
tuation being known-, and to prevent him repeating
the act, a subscription was entered into, amount-
ing to near 401. and he was allowed ten shillings
per week. Yesterday morning he received ten
shillings, left the Hospital, and went to a pub-
lic-house and got intoxicated, and from thence
into the Park, and again attempte,d to dectroy
himself. The Surgeons used the means recom-
mended by the Royal Humane Society, and he is
now out of danger, but is very morose, and re-
fuses all consolation.

On Saturday last James Fontaine was appre-
hended upon the charge of having on that day,
at Haverfordwest Market, uttered forged Bank
of England notes for one pound each, if: payment
for some pigs he had parchased at the Market ;
and on Monday Stephen Williams was also-appre-
hended, near Carmarthen, under a similar charge,
he having been purchasing some cattle at Nar-
beth Market on Saturday last, for which he paid
in notes of the same description. Two women
have also been. taken up early on Tuesday morn-
ing under similar charges. Fontaine and Williams
have undergone very close examinations before
the Justices, and from vt hat has transpired, it is
hoped that it will lead, to a clue for the detection
of the heads of these offenders. They represent
the notes to have been obtained at Birmingham.
They ate both fully committed to the Coultty
Gaol, Haverfordwest, for trial at the next
Assizes.
