WOODBRIDGE, AUGUST 15.

Friday last, being bis Royal Highness the Flung
REGENT'S Birth-day, Major-General WILDER, com-
manding the Eastern District, had a Grand Review
upon Bushmere Heath of the Garrisons of Ipswich
and Woodbridge*, 'under the command of Major-Ge-
neral HAwicsit.

.After the Review_ was over, the Officers of the
different Corps retired to a magnificent Fete, given
by Major-General WILDER, at Westerfield House,
near Ipswich, in honour of the day. All the prin-
cipal inhabitants of rapk and fashion in the neigh-
bourhood, and for many miles round, were present.
The numerous teats for the occasion were beautifully
decorated with wreaths of laurel and choice flowers,
with applicable devices, and delightfully pitched
upon a verdant lawn, surrounded with evergreens.
The company, consisting of above two hundred, sat
down at four o'clock to a sumptuous dinner; and
after the greatest conviviality, with many appropria:e
toasts, the p4rties broke up, and commenced danci.g
on the lawn, which was afterwards reiewed with
great spirit under the canvas, and kept up till past
twelve. What added to th_ splindaur of the scene
was the three fine bands of the G.trman..

GIUN.9 JUBILEE IN DUBLIN.

DUBLLV, AUGUir 13.

The centenary of the accessing of the Hoeas of
BRUNSWICK, and the Anniversary of the Itzoarrr's
birth, were celebrated yesterday by the different ce-
remonials, exhibitions, and amusements, which have
been the topic of city ciirivtrsisii‘m ssnce the com-
mencement of the month. Bustle and activity
among all votaries of show and pastime, of what-
ever description, were observable from a very early
hour.

Long before ten o'clock, crowds were seen moving,
from all directions, towards Stephen's-green, which
was, it seems, the spot destined to form the firsts as
well as tie last, seat of novelty and attrac,....)n. The
parade of the different . children whp were to imin. in
the procession to S . lk;trick's. was the object iwhich
chiefly arrested the attention at this early hour:—
Thousands of those interesting creatures, dressed in
their respective liveries,- marching in pairs with their
guardians and precopturs at their head, continued to
assemble and rar.ge themselvzs along the kink that
bounds this vas: silt, tre until the entire area was en-
compassed by them.
About half-past eleven they got The order to file
off to the Mansion-house, where the Loan MAYOR,
Sheriffs, Corporation, &c. &c. had been previously
marshalled in the customary way. Before twelve
every thing was properly adjusted, and the proces-
sion moved in the following Grin r along Dawson-
street, Nassau street, Grafton.street, College-green,i
Dame-street, Castle-street, Werburgh-street, Bride-
street, Patrick's-close, and entered at the great gate
of the Cathedral: • I
Troop of Horse—City Marshal; Band of Music ; City Battle-
Ate Guard—Servants in State Liveries ; City Officers ; Com-
ni•ttee, with wands ; Lord Mayor—Recorder—Aldermen ; She-
riffs—Sheriff.' Peers; Common Coo ; Master-, ‘Vardens,
and Beadles ; Children of Royal Foutolstions ; Parith Children ;
alphabetically, by Parishes; Children of other Charitable !uvula
dons; State Carriages; Band of Music—Troop et Horse, Ect.
Some time after the service at St. Patrick's had
ended, the LORD LIKUTRNANT and his Suite, attend-
ed by the Lotto Maxon, Sheriffs, and a vast mul-
titude, repaired to Sackvilk-streer, where the cere-
mony of laying the fuundation-stunc of the new Post
Office took place.
His Excellenzy returned to the Castle, and gave a
grand dinner, at half-past six, to the principal Nobi-
lity and Gentry of the city and its vicinity.
The Theatre opened an hour and a half earlier
than usual, that it might not interfere with the enter-
tainments of the evening. The boxes were free to
the Ladies.
At nine o'clock the Vice-regal party repaired to
Stephen's-Green, to witness the grand display 01
fire-works.

Lord SrawAnT is daily expected at Mount-Stewart,
on a visit to his respected parents, preparatory to his
leaving the country, to fill the important situation of
our Ambassador to the Court of Vienna.

The ScerruE of Pence, which wats lately disco-
vered by the Kceper of the Regalia, having been tho-
roughly repaired and restored to its ancient splendour,
is now deposited in the Tower, with the rest of the
Royal jewels. From the antique style of its orna-
ments, it is judged to be coeval with the Crown which
was worn by EDWARD the Confessor.
Saturday last, on an eminence near Dryburgh
Abbey, commonly called the Rock Stone Hill of
NeWmains, was laid by the Countess of BucHAN, the
foundation stone of a Monument to the memory of
the brave Sir WILLIAM WALLACL of Elderslie, a
colossal statue of whom, 21t feet in height. is now
in progress by the hand of Joint SMITH, of Darnick,
jun. and is to be erected there on a suitable pedestal,
on the 22d of September nest, which is the anniver-
sary of the hero's victory at Stirling Bridge, as well
as of the Bard of Ednam. In a glass vessel, pro-
perly sealed, was deposited a transcript of Crsonos
BUCHANAN'S Eulogy of WALLACE', in his History of
Scotland (book viii. sect. xxix). A colossal urn,
with an inscription, is pioposed to be plact:.' adjoin-
icg to the statue, on the summit of,the BaLUMG Rock,
behind which the statue is to be erected.

•••••••••••• A
whimsical and amusing trifle was last night
produced here, tinder the designation of a 44 Pea&
itoading of a slew comic insukal Extravaganza, to k called
Harlequin Hoax ; Or, a Pantomime Prolmed." The
Piece opens with a short soliloquy by Mr. itatmorrn,
as Stage Manager, in which he enunierates the various
difficulties and inconveniences to which the Manager
of a Theatre is exposed. SUddenly Peter Patch, a
Pantomime Poet, (a character eicelicntly supported
by Mr. Kmoirr,) to whom He hid positively refused
admittance; basin forced himself via armi: into the
boost.; rises through a trap-door, astonishes the Ma-
nager by the rapidity of his elocution, and finally
prevails on him to get up a Pantomime of his con-
trivance, under the title of " Hot Cockles ; or, Harle-
quin Figmong:r." The opening dialogue is extremely
lively, and some of the punning hit: are remarkably
good. Thus: when the Star Manager reminds Peter
hutch that the works of Gay, Steele, and Congreve
ought to exclude Pantomiate" No," answers Peter,
gg Gay, Steele, and Congreve are the best friends you
can have in composing a Pantomime. Let your
commencement begay, you mar :teal for your middle;
and thefia of Congreve will send off your end like a
roriet."—Next comes a rehearsal of the Pantomime,
which appears to us intended to ridicule every thing
Connected with the Harlequinade. If this were the
object, we must acknowledge that itwas very ably
effected. The absprdities of that species of Panto-
mime of which Harlequin is the hero,' were exposed
very humorously; whether a revolution, detrimental
to the future performance of the White Cat, will in
consequence be effected in the public mind, we are
nut prepared•to say. .In the course of the rehearsal,
which is, we believe, a caricature resemblance of
what sometimes occurs on such an occasion, there are
many smart repartees, two or three good comic inci-
dents, and some amusing introductions. Of the last(
description are the TA, (hy Mr. LISTON, Miss lizuv,
and Mrs. Pinkie) of Ching-skit-qua, and Mr. LISTON'S
gg Beautiful Maid," which he sang with all those mod
graces that infallibly procure an encore. Miss Kitaa.v's
Medley Song was uncommonly well executed ; and,
combined with the Reel which terminates it, and
which was danced by Miss KELLY, Mr. RAYMOND,
and Mr. KNIGHT, in a true jubilee fair style, shook the
house with laughter, and was vociferously encored.
We laughed very heartily at some of the compli-
ments which Mr. Peter Patch pays to the performers.
Ta explain the terms used in the manuscript of his
Pantomime, it is deemed necessary that he should go
through the evolutions of Harlequin. Amongst his
adjuncts, he chooses the Manager for his Puntaloon ;
and, to fill that part with propriety, he tells Mr.
RAYMOND 41 he has only to look as eld and stupid as
he usually does."—He next wants to introduce a
Lion cm the stage. Mr. RAyriliV a declares, " there
is not a Man in the company.can iso4 the charactei."
Patch disserns, and says that-Mt. RAYMOND iS per-
fectly,•qualified to play the Lion himself. Both these
observations, of course, created much laughter; and
Mr. RAYMOND, " for. the good of the concern," took
them in good' part.
Of the Music, generally, as of an Did friend, we
must speak respectfully ; skid, in justice to the old air:
of the Ovvrtsnv, we roust.ooserve, that the Frew graces
of Mr. PARRY tenderpd them more attractive. •
The Scenery and Machinery of " Harlepin Hoax"
is wonderfully good, considering the shortness of the
time within which it must have been executed. A
moving miniature of the Procession to St. Paul's was
very well managed. The Sea-fight on the Ser:)eii-
tine afforded much pleasure. The Bridge and Pa.
soda in St. James's Park, very prettily illuminated,
was still better; but the representation of the Temple
of Concord was best of all. This is singularly beau-
tiful, and the splendid Fire•works which Are let off at
the close of the Piece, recalled with great felicity an
interesting part of the late national Fete. This novel
exhibition was universally admired.
The exertions of the actors were great and success-
ful throughout. KNlctiT, as Patch, the Pantomimic
Author, eminently distinguished himself. RAYSI(AND,
as Stage Manager, LISTON, as Hddequin, and Miss
KELLY, as Columbine, contributed much to the success
of the Piece, which. improved by a little curtailment,
o ill unquestionably run triumphantly through the
remainder of the season. The Piece was received
throughout wick much approbation. The House
was well attended.

ROYAL Clacvs.—On Monday evening was pro-
duced at this Theatre, a new African Melo DrainaticA
Ilurletta, entitled the Slave Trade; or, Africali Gratitude,
which, for splendour of machinery, elegance of dress,
and interest of plot, exceeds every production of the
kind for many years past. We have not time or
space to enter fully into the merits of this little after-
-piece, but from the flattering reception it met with,'
do not hesitate to pronounce it a lasting favourite
veith the public. It has been get up under the direr-
lion of Mr. Cook!, who performed the part of Dread-
,nought, an English Captain, wrecked on the Coast of
[ Guinea, in which he received deserved applause.—
[--The characters throughout the Piece were well'
supported, and the Performers received that uni-
versal approbation, the certain award of real merit.
From the commencement to the conclusion, the
greatest applause was heard, anal it was given out for
r a second representation without one dissentient voice.
Miss STEPHENS made her Srst appearance at the.
Edinburgh Theatre on Thursday night, in the cha.
teeter of Polly, in the a Beggar': Opera." She was
received at her entr', and throughout the Piece, with
unbounded applause.

Nct.r.Dog, anticipkting the farmers, is reaping a
plentiful harvest in Yorkshire : with him there is nei.
ther rust, smut, nor blight in the ear, but a concord
of sweet sounds. Assisted by Messrs. SINCLAIR and
CLARE►IOVT, he, a few days ago, gave his 4, Mirth
and Minstrelsy" at Sheffield, to a crowded audience.

A Gentleman has, within these two days, made ap-
plication at different Police Offices, to lay a criminal
information against Lord CASTLIIREAGH and Lord
YARMOUTH, for having used rifle barrelled pistols in die
duel with Mr. CANNING, on the 21st of September,
1809—but the Magistrates refused to take his affida-
vit, as a matter unworthy of attention ; he has since
addressed himself to Lord Sts orm and to Lotd
ELLILNIOROUGH, as well as Mr. CANNING himself,
who all treat it with indifference. If Gentlemen to

cause, on a motion made by Sir Samoa's. RokIILLYs,
auppteted by Mr. Btu. and Mr. WAKEIPHLI.D. pry-
ing for an order that the castle, garden, and pleasure-
ground of the noble plaintiff should be delivered lip
to him, on his payment of a sum of ir26,000, under

poses. • •
The motion was opposed by Sir ARTHUR Proorr,
Mr. LRACH, Mr. Prtesros, and Mr. HRALU, on the

rest of the estates in the trust until all inctorahraares
were discharged estept the castle, gar 'en, and
pleasure ground., which they cons. nted to be restored
to the plaintiff, but no further in this St tte of :he eau e.
These arrangements were made under iefetence
before Sir J. Mansfield and Baron Iticsidrds. who ap-
pointed a Mr. Alesci.der under receiver ad inieriat, in
place of a Mr. James, the previo,!s receiver.
After hearing the arguments, the Loon Cir,ssce.t...
LOR stated, that he could only grant tit.r first past of
the motion relative to the eastle, gard n. and
grounds, bu: that the resid..e should abide ult..' ioe
censiderAtii,o, Unless the prties came to s tue
rAngernent or accoriuttodetion. The nib: part of the
motion was granted. . .
