COURT OF CHANCERY-THIS DAY.

At a quarter after one this afternoon, Mr. Honxt
moved that Horatio Reeve do stand cornositted: rJ.
!the Fleet Prison for contempt of Court, in runni;
away with a young woman from Exeter, who sc.,;;
lately made a Ward of this Court.
HALT, for the defendant, proposed th;r::1;
matter be postponed to Tuesday next, and
might be taken at the sitting of the Court then.
The LORD CHANCELLOR asked if the paiees wc:e
all in Court?—Being an; ered in the aflirinatirc,

His Lordship skid, he :ould not postpone tl.e
ter, unless by consent on both sides.
To this proposal Mr. HORNE, after consulting 1:s
Solicitor, assented, and it WAS ordered accordi%:,.

There will be a Chapter of the Order of the GA•!o:r
on Monday nett, when tall the vacant Ribbons
be disposed of.
The Accounts from Ireland represent the disrfe“
unabated. In the county of Kilkenny, a family e..!ive
persons died of the fever caused by szarcity of seit.
sistence; and in the counties of Mayo and Kerry,la.
mine and disease are making dreadful havoc. In t
letter fiom a Nobleman in Kerry, it is stated, that thz,
.people are digging the young potatoes, and he
prr:hends, that they will consume the crop bcfore it
arrives at maturity, and hence there w ili be no:lii3g
to store up for the winter's sar ply. This we den
very alarming fact, as it indicates the con inuance ai
distress after harvest.—Five persons have been COTE•
mitted to Tralee jail, charged with the wilful nr.nt:tr
of Elizabeth Kelly, near Bally bunion, on the Bth jug,
Mr. KEAN made his first appearance at the New
Theatre, Dublin, on Monday evening, in the character
of Richard the Third. Long before the drawint.:
of the curtain the flume was crowded in all p.c.
and so anxious were many to obtain places, that a
number of persons jumped from the boxes into I!
pit, shortly after the (hors had been opened. On MI.
KEAN'S entrance, he was hailed with loud plaudits
aud -cheers from all parts of the House which cor.:.-
nued for some minutes.

It is reported in the North, that his MAJESTY has
'ntiniatekihii intention of honouring the Duke °Mot-
DON, the Marquis of STAFFORD, and the Earl oflaz,
with a visit.

The Duke of BEnrours, we are happy to be ir.•
formed, is now crnsi.lered as perfectly recovk r:d from
his severe indisposition.
Yesterday afternoon the dismounted Horse P. 1.7.1
were inspected in the open space at the back of the autquetirk
House, Whitehall, by Sir RICHARD BIRKIt, and the Ce&r-
Secretaries of State for the Home Department, Mr. Hoene: al
and Mr. Dawson. They are a fine effective body of men 1/4ai-
wards of 100), and their appointments are very complete.
Yesterday, as a waggon, laden with hurdles, was pos:1:4
through Shepperton, those on the top becoming entangled wt.'
the branches of some trees under which the vehicle passed, `A.Ze
thrown off, and a poor man, who was sleeping on the roof, faili g
under the wheel, was killed on the spot.
VAUXHALL.—Yesterday, being the Anniversary cf
the Coronation of oar august Soveavott, the Proprietors 0-
Vauxhall Gardens, anxious to mark their gratitude for the i.s
tinguished patronage of which they have been so fortunate as to
beionte the objects, determined on celebrating a day so memo-
rable by an extraordinary exhibition of the attractions which :t
is their province to display. Early In the day the " note of pie-
paration" resounded through these enchanting shades, and at tire
o'clock in the morning the Royal Standard was hoisted on the
Rotunda. At we o'clock at noon, a salute of twenty-ere PI"
was fired, and in the courie of the day upwards of ten thousood
additional lamps were hang in the Gardens. Such an improve-
ment on the customary splendour of these Gardens, it willeasily
be conceived, produced a meat imposing effect; and the tasteful
devices which they formed, called forth universal admiration.
The evening proved fine, and the occasion, combined with :he
liberal and magnificent efforts of the Proprietors, were perfectly
Irresistible. At an early hoar the extra doers, which had ]tens
very properly provided, were found not G.lly useful, but nem.
nary. From eight o'clock till midnight, every hour witnessed a
vast accession to the company. The entertainments of the ev,r-
kg were numerous mid varied. Shouts of applause marked
high gratification of the spectators. Among the immense a,-
semblage of company were several persons of distinction. Thc
utmost decorum prSvailed, ;pd harmony, well befitting the OCCk
cation, was the order of the night.
LUINCROUe RIPARTEL—Lady BATH, with her vie-
lent temper, had a great deal of wit. Lord BATH
saying to her in one of her passions, " Pray, my de.ir,
keep your temper 1" she replied, " Keep my tenye'l
I don't like it so well, I wonder you should !"
