BRIGHTON, Omura 7.
The Duchess of Newcastle his taken k-ave. of us for a season.
Sir Arthur Legge,' Count Buhl, and Mrs. and Miss Hibbert and
family, are among the last arrivals at the Royal York Hotel. Lady
Dudley, who has apartments at the Norfolk Hotel, entertained a
fashiosuitikparty diem on Thursday evening.

The Duke of WELLINGTON'S return from the North
has been hastened by the calls of business. His-Grace
slept at the Angel at Grantham on Saturday night, and
proceeded early on Sunday morning to the Oak, at
Greetham, to breakfast. A detention of four hours at
Doncaster, occasioned by•the breaking of his carriage,
gave the Corporation of that place an unloofced for op-
portunity of calling a Court, and presenting his Grace•
with the freedom of their borough.
They write. from Vienna, that immediately after the
dispatches had been received from Constantinople, ex-
presses were tent off to the different Generals command-
ing at Peterwat din, Temeswan, and Agrom, ordering
them to be in readiness to'proceed to the extreme fron-
tiers, to form a Cordon, in case the Russians should pass
the Pruth.

The Royal Sovereign Yacht was yesterday an object
of much attention. She lays off the Dock Yard, at
Deptford, and all the preparations have been made for
receiving the Queen'of WURTEMBERG. As they may
have bad weather, the most minute attention has been
paid 'to the state of her rigging. All the running tackle
has been, in the sea pbrabe, overhauled, and placed in
Lt e most secure state.

New CA RRIAGR.—An ingenious mechanic, a whiffs-
amitli, named WoOnemsox, of Dartmouth, has invented a very su.
titravelling carriage, calculated to accommodate four persons;
cOrnstrucden is simple', and intended to be worked by the bands
and guided by the feet; or it may be acted on vice wear, one man
or even boy being enabled to impel It with ease at the ram of eight
miles an hour on level ground, and up a stet? Islik without greater
exertion than is necessary to sow a small boat ; down hill it is
acteden by a regulator, and may be stopped at any part, even of •
steep dm:int.—The New Lesion Literv7 Gornto.
Dr. MAYOR I as been elected ergltih time Mayor of
Woodstock, Alderman Puacsias NA time Mayor of Cambridge,

Esq. Mayor of Yarmouth, and R. Saran, Esq. Mayorof Thetford.

Riding of Yorkshire are brightening—full employment is expected

I; has been stated, -that if Captain PARRY had been
enabled to advance fifteen miles farther, i. e. to the 83d
crrgree, he would have been entitled to the reward al-
toted by the Act of Parliament. This, however, is not
quite correct. By the last Act on this subject, passed in
the year 1818, a reward is offered of 20,0001. for the dis-
covery of a passage from the Atlantic to the PaCific
Oceans, along the northern shore of America ; also a
ieward of 6,0001. ts those who shall first approach
within one degree of the North Pole; and proportic-nate
rewards, at the discretion of the Commissioners for dis-
covering the longitude, to " such Fersons as shall first
have aecvmplished certain proportions of the said pas-
sage or approach, namely, the p issage between the At-
lantc and Pacific Oceans, and the approach to the
North Pole." According to the account published.
Captain PARRY only reached the latitude of 82, 45.
which is more than four hundred miles from the Pole.
and he was still very far, therefore, from fulfilling the
condition bahich would have entitled him to the reward
of 5,0001.

_
The exaltation of Lord CAWDOR to the Earldom of
Emlyn will recall to many of our readers one of the
most curious occurrences in the whole of the late war,
and at the same time an event equally creditable to the
humanity, and honourable to the courage of the inha-
bitants of Wales. We allude to the landing of several
hundred of the French army, under the command of
Gen. Tara, At Ftsflguard, in Pembrokeshire, in 1797.
The father of the present Earl, then Nlr.ParceCailmrau.,
having put himself at the head of a small party of the
Pembrokeshire Yeomanry Cavalry, and the other Gen-
tlemen of the county having gathered what local forces
were at hand, offered battle to the invaders on Good wick
Sands, near Fishguard. The French, not relishing the
appearance of tl.e Ancient Britons, sent offers to sur-
render, and the whole, to the amount of 1,400 men, were
made prisoners of war. Mr. Castraeu. was creared Lor d
Cafroort, for his conduct on this occasion ; and the mi-
litia and yeomanry of Wales received great praise for
their courage and moderation.

into the posket of the Manager. His next cnataces
be Romeo, iu which a more extended scope be gi,e2

CHARLES KEMBLE is not a whit behind hand with his
powerful neighbour. Several of SNACSPEARE'S most
popular tragedies are to be acted, in which KIIAN,
Youso, and Kesinut, are toyerform. This triumvirate
is unequalled in the present stare of the stage. mil

a phalanx of talent for the perforthance of legion°

wise act in Paris, and CHARLES KIMBLE will return
thither on the first opportunity to perform a limited
number of nights. Overtures, highly advantageous,
have likewise been made to the veteran MUNDEN to sal
few nights in Paris; MIINDEN, who is in excellent
health, has not returned an answer.
BARRYMORI is preparing a Pantomine for Christmas,
which, in point of scenery, machinery, and decoration,
is intended to rival all that has hitherto been done for
the gratification of the holiday folks. FARLEY has been
employed, during the summer, upon a new Pantomine
for Christmas ; and a melo.drame, which the Manager
expects will be a palpable hit.
Kean has been acting with success both in Glasgow
sod Liverpool. From the latter place ht comes to Co-
vent-garden, whence, when he has acted a certain num,
bet of sights, he will go to Paris to perform in the
English Theatre.
The Big Wigs at Cambridge, jealous of the exclusive
run enjoyed by their sister University in the admirable'
rrformances of CHARLES MATHEWs, have invited the
Wag to give them a "touch of his quality," and he is
gong to Cambridge to perform two or three nights ;
after which, we believe about Christmas, his engagement

Davit) GARRICK was once on a visit at Mr. RIGEY's
seat, Mtstley Hall, Essex, when Dr. Goyim formed one
of the party. Observing the potent appe-ite of the
/earned Doctor, GAitRICK indulged in some coarse jests
on the occasion, to the great amusement of the com-
pany, the Doctor excepted; who, when the laugh had
subsided, thus addressed the party :—" Gentlemen, you
must doubtless suppose, fri,m the extreme familiarity
with which Mr. GARRICK bas thought fit to treat me,
that I am as acquaintance of his; but I can assure you,
that, till I met him here, I never saw him bat once be-
fore, and then I paid five shillings for the sight." Itos-

In the Theatre at Stockholm the greatest order is

It often occurred that the miserable convicts were kept
in a state:of suspense for several months. Since the
present Ministers have been in power, the Raconteur'
has been ;ordered to make hi. Report as soon after the
termination of the Sessionsas convenience and propriety
would admit.

It is a curious fact, that the two Intendant Generals
of Po:ice, who have lately wielded their dreadful I ower
in Spain and Portugal, are now in London. M. Km/t-
-ato, late from bladfid and Lisbon, arrived a few days
ago in the steam packet, and M. RANDWIPE came in the
last regular packet from Lisbon.
The exclusive privileges of the East India Dock
Company expired on the 2d inst. and as a proof of the

A Wardmote of the Inhabitants of Fat ringdon With-
out was held yesterday, before Alderman Wnirtimaw.
at St. Andrew's, Holborn, fer the purpose of electing a
potion to succeed the late Mr. Reaves, as a Member of
the Common Council lot that Ward. Mr. Geo. FRED.
HERMES, of Fleet-maiktt, was elected unanimously as
his successor. The Alderman appointed Mr. CROOK,
the senior Common Councilman, Deputy, in place of the
deceased, whom he highly eulogised. The Ward mote
passed a Resolution expressive of their respect for his
memory, and ordered it to be framed and presented to
Lis widow by a deputation.

Wednesday last, the Egyptians who were intrusted
with the care of the cameleopard, lately brought to
this country as a present to his Majesty, were forward-
ed in a carriage from the Royal Lodge to London, and
on Friday afternoon embarked at Deptford, on their
retain to their native country. They expressed great
regret on leaving England, as the most kind atteerion
has been paid to them since their arrival in this coun-
try, particularly during their residence at Cumberland
Lodge, where they fared sumptuously every day, being'
allowed wine for dinner and supper, as they would not,
or could not drink beer.

Dr. SLOANE was*Secretary to the Royal Society at a
time when Sir ISAAC Nawron was Presideat ; and the
Council sheaved their sense of his merits, by expelling
Dr. WOODWARD for insulting him while reading a
Taper. It was alleged it WOODWA Rea behalf, that he
was a good natural philosopher. Sir I. Newton, who
was in the chair, observed w.th more point than was
u.ual with him, that " in cider to belong to that Society,
a man ought to be a tv.od moral philosopher as well as
a natural one."
Mr. LIDDELL, Governor of Preston House of Gorree-

Amongst his enumerated offences were—" habits of in-

When in the American war the British General &moots

upon his soldiers culling down every other tree for 6re
wood, he placed a sentinel under this memorable tree,
that not a branch of it might be touched. In 1812 it
was blown down, and its trunk was then split into wood,
