The Kuria of the Czarssomrs' Ball, at the Up pp-r
4,00 m, on Monday last, was so excessively crowded,
that it might truly,be likened to a mob, were not that
mo vulgar a term to apply to such an assemblage of
rashionables. All the beauty and elegance which
Bath can at, present boast of, attended, upon this oc.
casion,and indeed every one seemed charmed with thf
sqneezing they received, their sole object apparently
being to displ.ty their fashionable and elegant dresses,
and to be seen honouring the Master of the Ceremo-
nies with their presence. As for dancing, the avowed
object of such assemblies, it was almost entirely out
of the question : none could attempt it with any de-
gree of satisfaction, so that the evening was mostly
spent in talking and promenading, or rather squeez.
ing past one another.

LONDON Ctracv.—A rapes:of yesterday contained
an accusation against the London Clergy, that when
they lent their pulpits for Charity Sermons they appro.
priated one-third of the collection for private purposes,
and that when they preached they kept a part for their
trouble. We are warranted by truth and justice, in
the assertion, that this insinuation is insidious, uncha.

It is a singular historical fact, that those of the
Third HZNIIY• the 77sird Enwatao, and the Third
0201104 should have -proved the .third longest reigns
in the English Monarchy ; the first having reigned
157 years, the second 51, and the last 49, wtth a fair
prospect of continuing to sway the British sceptre.
Admiral HOLLOWAY lately sent, as a present to her
MAJUIT, tour ducks, entirely black. They were
taken to Frogmore, where her Marten's has a very
large collection of curious birds and fowls.
The stake money, of 250 guineas, was made good
last night for the battle between Crib and Jem Bel-
cher, as was also 100 guineas for the match between
Young Belcher and Farmborongh. The battles are
fixed to take place on Wednesday the Ist of February.
Crib and Young Belcher still remain, the favourites;
and Blake is the favourite in a third battle, in the
same ring, betwixt him and Cropley:
A Gentleman last week took a seat in the mail,
from Edinburgh to Carlisle, and on paying his fare,
pulled out his purse, containing 20guineas, and re-
turned it to a breast pocket of his waistcoat. A
rogue observing this, likewise took his seat in the
mail to Carlisle, on speculation. Pefore the Gen-
tleman had arrived at Mosspanle, he fell asleep, and
the fellow dexterously picked his pocket. At Moss-
pails the pickpocket decamped, and the gentleman
did not miss his purse until he arrived at Carlisle.
FORGIERIES.—The public have been apprized that
a number of forged notes, for 51. of the Bank of En-
gland, are in circulation. Some time since, an Italian,
of the name of Aiwa, called at the house of a vicar.
alter in Holborn, and purchased some wine, and in
payment tendered a 51. note. The victualler suspect•
ed the note was not genuine, and he went to a neigh-
bour who had supplied him with change, when his
opinion was confirmed, and he detained the utterer.
Alessi was taken to Marlborough-street Police Office,
and was under examination for five weeks, during
which time he distlosed some facts of the utmost im-
portance to the Bank and to the public. The prisoner
gave up the real fabricator of the notes, a man of the
name of Nicholh, who resided at Birmingham; and
two officers from Marlborough-street Police Office
succeeded in taking him into custody. On this man
were found one hundred 51. fabricated notes, and a
number of smaller notes of the same description.—
Alessi stated that he gave 255. for the forged 51. notes,
to Nicholls, and a proportionate sum for those of 11.
After several examinations, the prisoners were both
committed for trial.
