FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS.

BRIGHTON, JAN. 30.—Last night, for the first
time, His MAJESTY'S private band played at the
Pavilion, the music room of which was lighted up on
the occasion. There was no party, nor is it likely
there will be as yet. The Marchioness of Conyng-
ham is expected to arrive at the Pavilion shortly, and
in all probability the Duchess of Gloucester will then
leave.

DOVEFt) JAN. 30.—His Excellency Prince Po -
lignac landed here this morning from Calais, and proceeded soon
afterwards for Lon-on, being saluted on his arrival and departure.
There still continues much activity in the arrival of Kings
Messengers. Two landed yesterday, and one this day, with discg
patches for the Foreign Office.

The brig Ferguson of Blythe, Captain Taylor, wrecked on Sa-
turday morning between this port and Folkstone, has been sold
to-day. Her cargo of oats and rye has been totally lost. Most
of the vessels that put in here on Saturday with lose, have reco-
vered their anchors, cables, &c., on salvage, and have proceeded
to-day for their respective destinations.

Yesterday morning Mr. Hunter, Mr. Littlewood,
and Mr. Meates, the King's Messengers, arrived in Downing-
street, with despatches from Berlin, Vienna, Hanover, Brussels,

Some of the hoUses at Hammersmith tietted fifty
pounds each on the day of the funeral of the late IllustrieSos Corn-
mander-in-Chief.
Yesterday being the Anniversary of the Martyrdonf
of King Charles I. the usual observance of the occasion took place.
Lately the Bishop of Gloucester instituted the Rev.
Orlando Hainlyn Williams, M.A. of Baliol College to the ttletotv
of Clovelly, Devonshire, on the presentation of Sir James
Williams, Bart.
Civic DINNER,--Yesterday Sheriff ,Bunn gave
his first official dinner. We mention, with regret, that the hila-
rity of the evening was interrupted by reprehensible asperities
between some of the guests. A report has just reached us, that a
gentleman, particularly assailed on the occasion, took his de-
parture for Holyhead this morning with a friend, after having
sent a message to the Offending party.—Dublin Patriot.
THE LATE BISHOP OF OXFORD.,--Soule of the
papers to-day, state, that in consequence of the bishop's death?
the vicarage of Lewisham, in Kent, worth from 6661; te, 7001.
per annum, has become vacant. This is a mistake—his thidslii'
having resigned the living of Lewisham some years since, eM:
being chosen warden of All Souls, in consequence of the duties of
that office, with those of his diocese, •preventing his continuing
to reside amongst his parishioners. His Lordship was one of the
Directors of the Greenwich Hospital, to which office no emolti,
went isattached.
HARROW SCHOOL.—As some very injurious re-
po! is have lately been circulated respecting this School, we have
the highest authority for stating, that three boys only, and those
in a low part of the school, were, during the last half-year, se,
verely punished by their • indignant schoolfellows, and instants-
ueously expelled by the Head Master, but that the offence
'flitted, though highly disgraceful, was not of a nature whicit
could have been made the subject of legal investigation.
Mr. C. Kemple has left town to fulfil an engage-
ment for a few nights at the Bristol Theatre.
Miss Love is going to perform at the l'ianchestei'
Theatre ; from thence she goes to Concerts at Liverpool and
Leeds, and, before the regular Oratorios commence in Town, she
will pay Bristol a visit, at which place she performed last Autumn,
with the utmost success, and with her "Broweswept all before her.
A new style of dramatic criticism has sprung up at
Edinburgh. Mr. Ryder, of the Caledonian, last .week presented
himself before the curtain, between play and farce, favoured the
audience with a running commentary upon the Edinburgh Ob-
server's theatrical remarks, and challenged the editor to mortal
combat with the claymore.
An American performer, by the name of Hackett,
is just arrived in London, from New York. He is represented
as possessing very considerable talent as an actor, and as being
quite unrivalled as a mimic. His imitations are said never to be
caricatures, but always flip portraits. He acted one of the
Drotnios, at New York, in the Comedy of Errors, with so
exactly the face, voice, person, and manner of the other Dromio,
that the audience could not distinguish them apart, excepting by
reference to their books. His last performance was of Richard,
in imitation of Mr. Kean.— Opera Glass.
Such was the pedantry of the fourteenth century,
that all aecoant-books, even of domestic expenses, were kept in
Latin ; and, as Roman terms could not be found for many arti-
cles, the items were stated ludicrously in Engliab.--Aiverpool
Albion.

AFFAIR OF HONOLlR.—Sheriff Bunn gave his
first official dinner on Friday last. We understand that during
the evening an altercation took place between Mr. Sheriff Yatei
and Mr. N. Murray Mansfield. Epithets were applied by one
party, and retorted by the other. A message was the conse--
quence. One of the parties sailed from Howth to Holyhead on
Saturday morning, and the other followed in the afternoon from
Dunleary.—Dublin Morning Register.
To give an instance of the increase in the value of
land, a piece of ground at Cheltenham, which a few years since
was sold for 30/. recently produced 1,7001. for building purposes.
Several instances of a similar nature have occurred in various
parts of the country during the last year, notwithstanding the
general distress. In Lancashire, a plot of freehold ground, after
a severe competition, was knocked down at 225 years' purchase.
COLLEGE COMMISSION.—Nothing can he more
honourable to this Commission, than the anxiety which its Members
have manifested since the commencement of their labours, to pro-
mote by every means in their power, the best interests of this Uni-
versity. One of the resolutions agreed to by them at a Meeting
on the 13th inst., was, to give the sum of 100 guineas as a prize
for an English Essay, leaving the composition open to all the Ste-
dents now attending the classes, and entrusting the decision upip
the comparative merits of the Essays, to the Principal and Pro-
fessors conjointly.—Edinburgh Observer.
