BRIGFI roN, IVlARcii 31.

But little has occurred here for many days past,
either to interest or amuse. The weather has
been bright lot the season, and the public rides and
promenades have been well attended. The Royal
Steyne Library, and Choles, in Nurth-street,
have seldom I:teen without their elegant and po-
lished'eircle of sociable visitants. The extended
improvements at the Pavilion go on ra
The industrious workmen reap the full beneht of
this, for many poor families obtain a competence
by their employments' there, which gives them a
feeling of comparative independence, in .render-
ing them superior to parochial relief. Mr. Nash,
the architect, was busily employed last. week
about the Palace, in directing the execution of his
plans.
A rumour is prevalent, that the Prince Regent's
yacht, the Royal George, has been ordered round
to this station ; this rumour, however, at best,
may be regarded as premature. It is als6 reported,
that the Princess Elizabeth and the Ptince of
Hesse 1-lomberg intend being here very soon alter
their ntqvials ; the state of the Pavilion, however,
which is entitely out of condition, and cannot pos-
sibly be got ready so suddenly, is in itself a refuta-
tion of the rumour. Lord W. Gordon continuos
in 'Marlborough-row ; her Ladyship has suf-
fered much front indisposition, but is now re-
garded as convalescent. The Eat I and Countess
of Warwick, and Lord Monson, have left
us, for Charles-street, Berkeley-square ; and
the Honourable Miss Vernon, • for St. James's;
Sir James Shaw, iII.P. ; Mr. Swarm, MA'. &c.
are in the arrival list. The Vice-Chancellor, Sir
John Leach ; the Attorney-General, Sir Samuel
Shepherd ; and Mr. Serjeant Itunnington, have
also lett us for the. Metropolis. •

TEIR THEATIM—The Beggar's Opera, a hu-
motironS production, well adapted to the time in
which it teas written, and the 'chAracters to which
it referred, but which is now common place, vul-
gar, and disgusting, was followrd last night at
Drury-Lane Theatre by a new farce, 'enti►led The
Sleepi►g Draught. The plot is extravagant, as
might be expected in a farce. The hero is Pop-
pilino (lIAHLEv),, the servant of Rinaldo (BAn-
NARD), who enters the house of The Podesta
(fiuGues), and having swallowed a sleeping
draught, is supposed to be dead, and is put into
a chest, which is stolen by thieves. At length,
after many whimsical incidents, the two lovers,
Rinaldo and the Podesta's Daughter, are brought
together, and the piece, according to precedent,
ends happily.--The author is PENLEY, the actor,
who has put together a whimsical piece, which
afforded so- much amusement, and excited Si) much
laughter, that it will probably. become popular.

in the sporting phrase, the' Fancy) hastening to
the destined spot to enjoy the attraction of scientific
Ihe heroes stood bang-up in the mill-
ing chronicles-Lthe one from his well-fought de-
feats and hard-earned victories ;..and the other
trout what he was likely to achieve in future pu-
gilistic fame. The knowing ones were perfectly
satisfied that Painter tnu.t win ; and seven to lour

supported by science, strength, and pluck, added
,0 the chance of long oclls, proved eager takers.
The situation Where the ring was made was truly
picturesque and commanding an unin-
terrupted view of diversified scenery. At a little
after one, Paiwer and Spring appeared in the
outer ring, and tifinti thi•ir toveting, shook hands
in the most cordial and trite Essglis,hman-like man-
ner. Spring threw his hat up first in the ring,
' and Painter immediately followed the same line
of conduct. At half-past one the men set-to :
- Painter was seconded by Tom Belcher and Harry
Harmer ; and Spring by Crib and Byrne.—Seven

signed the contest in one hour and 29 inioiavi.

RENlAlll“.—Spring has turned ont a much better man than
he seas previously rated; though it is even now urged he is
not a hard hitter. in fact, it was almost-a lviooolless fight.
Painter, it should seem, dot hot complain of- the p+/ids/ewe/ t
he received. hut of the exertniating pain of his head, and the
impracticability he experienced of using Lis shoulder to any
advantage. - gouvucss of Painter is too well knows, to
need any comments ; but as a first-rate fighter he nevcr ranked,

hand well, though not so rpticts as Carter; and he gets away
