TILE KING'SDIRTII mfr.

His MAJESTY'S Birth-day happening on Sunday,'
the usual demonstrations of public rejo'cing were
postpnned till yesterday, duringthe who e of which
the flags on the ciiurchsteeples continued flying. It
was observed as a holiday at all the Public Offices.
Several of the Fire-Office-men, in new Oresses, pa-
raded the streets of the metropolis, with bands of
music playing, &c.
The usual entertainment was given by Mr.Vinosn,
the manufacturer of Mail Coaches, kt the manufactory
on Mill Bank Row, Westminster, to the Mail Coach
Contractors, where, after the drivers and guards had
drank the KING'S health in the open air,.they drove
off in grand style with the newly decorated coaches
ahcl harness, and the drivers and guards in their new
dresses through the town in their usual route. The
PRINCE REGENT gavel grand dinner upon the occa-
sion. The tradesmen of the Royal Household dined
together, and illuminated their houses. The Opera
' House and the different Theatres were illuminated
in the evening.
During the firing of the guns in St. James's Park,
to celebrate the Birthday of his MAJESTY, a most
distressing accident occurred. Several school-boys
and others, having got over the railing, on to
egrass, came within the range of the guns at the
time ot 'firing, when, being struck by the wadding.
two were killed, and several desperately wounded.
One of the former.was the son Of a respectable house-
fielder in King.street t among the latter, one was
shot completely through, and is n.it expected to re-
cover, the wadding entering on one side and passing
out at the other. • Another youth, who had ascended
a tree, was struck in the eye, and deprived of his
sight. Others were dreadfully hurt.

It is a fact not generally known; but we can vouch
for the truth of it, that Miss FOOTK. whose benefit is
this evening, at Covent-garden, is the grandniece of
the late English Aristophanes, SAMUEL Foorx, Esq: ;
and the Lady who is to make her first appearance in
Roxalana, is also a very near relative a that celebrate
ed character. Miss Fool's is, Moreover, a charming
actress and a very amiable young' Lady. These at-
tractions, and Mr. lityrrx's ilkxander, will, no doubt,
overflow the house.
