THE LATE MR. EMERY.

We are pleased to find that this Subscription is likely to be
iscreased very much in the present month. Great expectations
ix! held out that a Message from Carlton Palace will bring glad
tidings to this disconsolate Family. The amount is at present
inadequate to provide respectably for the whole Family ; and
we therefore hope the Public will not relax until it is. Mr.
Rastas acknowledges within a kw days, from Lord CAR/4SLX
Ten Guineas; from Miss BOOTH, of Drury. Lane Theatre, Two
Guineas; W. A. £l. W. It. XI. and an additional subscrip-
tion of Four Guineas from the Tradespeople of Lady Cisme=
&c.

The Doke of CAMBRIDGE twice visited the Hay-
market Theatre last week; and his Royal Highness,
attended by Colonels RENEETT and PRAT', honoured

it again with his presence last night.
It appears that the messenger, bearing the melan-
choly tidings of Lord LONDONDERRY'S death, reached
his brother at Lintz. Mr. GORDON had proceeded
to that place fions Vienna, to meet Lord STEWART,

on his return to resume the-functions of his Embassy.
Alter some consider ation whether his Lordship should
return to England, it was deter mined to proceed : and
Lord STEW RT. attended by Mr. Gonomst, reached
Vienna on the 23d ultimo, eleven days after his bro-
ther's decease.

It ought to be known, for it is highly honourable
to his MAJESTY'S taste and feelings, that, when he

:card of the preparations making for his reception at
llolyrood House, he expressed his entire acquiescence
in whatever might be done %%kb the other apartments,
but strictly commanded that Queen Nlarty's rooms
should be left untouched in every respect. _ _

It is said that Sir RoaanT PEEL, the father of
Mr. PEEL, is possessed of property to the amount of
a million or two in value. We have heard that, like
Sir RICHARD ARKWILIGHT, his origin in life was very
humble. In process of time Sir ROBERT became pos-
sessor of a calico-printing establishment at Bury, near
Manchester, in the business of which he was very
ably assisted by his partner, a Mr. WILLIMH YATES,
who died some years since, much respected, on ac-
count of his excellent character. Sir licumar added
tothis printing establishment two others; one at a
place called Ramsbottorn, near Bury, and another at
the town of Tamw•orth. During many years of the
war with Fiance, when England comparatively mo-
nopolized the manufactures and commerce of Europe,
Sir ROBERT, it is said, had that branch of business so
much to himself (indeed it was then in its infancy,
in coinvai ison to what it is now, as to the quantity
produced) that he printed as many as 100,000 pieces
of calico in the course of every year, for several
years ; on which, at that time, he obtained, it, is said,
a clear profit of a guinea each piece; thus realizing,
for many years, for himself and his partners, one
hundred thousand guineas per annum. That par-
ticular species of goods, at that period, was so scarce,
that the buyers used actually to scramble for them,
even at the enormous profit Sir ROBERT and his part-
ners were realizing. The case is now materially
altered ; for, owing to the introductilin of machinery,
the process of printing is so easy, in comparison with
what it was twenty years since, that where there was
then about one piece produced, there are now pro-
bably twenty. The consequence is, that the profit
on each piece is reduced in neatly a similar propor-
tion. Sir ROBERT is now out of trade altogether.

The common expense of a marriage by license
now amounts to upwards of five pounds..
The improvements at Drury-Lane Theatre have,
daring the last week, made rapid progress. The
ornamenting and decorating of the boxes are begun;
they are of a most costly curious nature, and the
designs for the paintings for the boxes are very beau-
tiful. Mr. ELLISTON is indefatigable: he is assisted
in his arrangements by Mr.T. DIBDIN (Stage Manager
of the Haymarket Theatre), who is engaged as Stage
Manager. Miss STEPHENS is engaged only for a
limited -number of nights. Mr. KEAN retains to his
engagement in November.
Extract of a
.letter from the Cove of Cork, dated
September 6:—" The Countess of Harcourt, Captain
BONN, with 172 convicts, from the city and county of
Dublin, counties of Wexford, Wicklow, and" Meath,

thirty of the id Buffs go out with the convicts. The
Brampton, Captain Mooae, is prepared for the recep-
tion of 172 convicts, which are daily expected on

Buffs are now in this ship, and will proceed with the
convicts also. When these parties shall have sailed,
the whole of the Buffs (the rest of the Regiment having
already proceeded there) will be voyaging to Botany
Bay. Dr. Taxvon has inspected the convicts, all of
whom were i❑ good order and well accommodated."
