.iesterday, at three fetlock, the Duke of Gionces-
rra received an Address uptre his Marriage from the
University of Cambridge; in Latin. •
Soon after four o'clock, the Dtike received an Ad-
dress fiom a Deputation of the Committee for Ma-
naging the Deaf and Duaib Institution, which eras
iced by Mr. Yeiras, their Secretary, and which was
a most admirable composition, and highly expressive.
Numbers of persons went from Windsor to the en-
teitainment lately given by the Doke and Duchess
of GLOUCESTER, at Bagsbot Park. The following
particulars, which have not yet appeared; we deem
avotaly of notice :—The dinner was served up hot in
excellent order, consisting of 60 rounds of beef, 60
'sarloins of beef roasted, 60 legs of mutton boiled, 60
shoulders of mutton roasted, 60 savory pies, 80 very
',me plumb-puddings, 180 dishes of vegetables, 20
;aysheads of strong ale. The tables; consisting of
4..)U feet in length, were fixed on the lawn; there were
two traverse tables 60 feet in length for 60
,people. -
The tables were 40 feet clear on each side; they were
separated by ropes, decorated with laurels. The tables
were decorated with evergreens between the dishes.
The whole of this entertainment was regulated, by the
Duke's principal Steward, assisted by sit Pages, who
were stationed right and left of the centre table, be-
sides 16 Stewards apptiinted for the occasion, consist-
ing of the principal tradesmen and farmers of Bagshot.
Bands of music were distributed in different parts to
play alternately. Every thing was so arranged, as
to be wen from the house for the gratification of **few
friends; bat the Duke and Duchess joined the joyous
throng between One and two o'clock, and did not
leave the accue till the meeting broke up at half-past
eight. The only attention which their Royal High.
oesses allowed to be paid them was the moving of
their chairs from place to place when they moved.
The old Lady, who was /described as being .98
years of age, proves to be upwards of 100. She
came in a chaise to be gratified, with the sight of the
Duke and Duchess ; and her Royal Highness very
condescendingly handed Some refreshment into the
chaise; in fact, it was the desire of their Royal
Highnesses to gratify the curiosity of the inhabitants
of that part of the country, which induc-d them to
set that day apart for that purpose, and to entertain
them with old English hospitality.
The commencement of the dinner was announced
by the ringing of a bell. The toasts, which were
previously arranged in lists by the different managers
and stewards, were announced by the sounding of a
gong. After the 44 Xing, Queen, Prince Regent,
&c." was given, “ the Duke and Duchess of Glou-
cester, and many happy returns of the 22d of July
(marriage day) with three times three."
There were double and single sets of dancers. The
first dance was led off by the principal steward and
timekeeper. Beside, running sets, there were
cricketer*, donkey races, gingling matches, quoits,
parties jumping in sacks, running for gowns, and
other sports. The evening's amusement concluded
with drinking a bumper of pttach to the health of the
Duke and Duchess.

ENGLISH VITRA.

The veteran INCLEDON made his first appearance
last night at this Theatre in the character ot dirta:raiscs,
in the Opera of Artaxerxes. His reception was' of. a
nature to convince him that the public have not lost
the remembrance of his services and of his merits,
and that if he does not continue to do honour to the
stage, it will not be through any want of en-
couragement on their part. He was in excellent
voice, and acquitted himself of all his airs with con.
summate effect and unabated ability. His expression
was just, and his action animated, and the fire and
excellence with which he gave the air, "thy Fattier!
away ! rtaounce the soft nants,", Occasioced a most
rapturous encore.—Miss KELLY 'was the Ilfundane of
the night; a notice having been introduced into the
bills to state, 04 that in consequence of serious illness,
Miss MERRY was unable to perform that evening,
and that Miss KELLY (at the earnest solicitation
of the Manager) had kindly undertaken, at a
very few hours' notice, to study and perform,
for the first time, the arduotis part of Mandane."—
Although fully acquainted with the camelion-like
abilit es of this charming actress, and with the taste
which she disolays in every thing which she, under-
takes, we rather feared that the enterpriie wes beyond
her strength, and repaited to the Theatre with no
other expectation that' to witness a highly respectable
attempt. We were, however, most agreeably disap-
pointed. Miss KELLY not only gave to the part, by,
.the excellence of her acting, an interest which it had
never possessed, but excceted.the most difficult airs
with a degree of feeling, ot taste, andot power, which
surprised the whole audience, and grew down the
'loudest applause. 44 The Wdier tired," however, was
considered as her trial,, and• the interest and anxiety
of the house were evinced by the 'unbroken silence
which prevailed while the• went through the first part
t.f the air. Three rounds of rapturous and universal
applause rewarded the skill with which she acquitted
herself, and filled up the interiral between the two
parts of the air. The second she gave with so much
ower, taste, and brilliancy, ;Cat five or six sponta-
neous peals of applause broke from the whole audi-
ence, and universal cries of encore resounded. She
appeared highly affected on the occasion, but repeated
this beautiful air with still more excellence than before.
Mr. 'boas sang with more than common sweetness,
'and acted with justness and energy.—After the Farce
of Turn Ord, INcLenota. gave in character the favourite
Yong of " The Death of tie Stinaler," in which he
displayed alt the besuty and extent of his Voice. He
wigwam) y encored, and repeated it with equal effect;
acrd rie can honestly assert, that while the Managers
ta the Winter Theatres are hunting for novelty in the
line of Mr. I..cLenots, they cannot, in. the present
state of his wondetful powers, Tender a greater ter-
eiceto the public, than by restoring that Gentleman
to Ns well•merited rank in tim Thea:re:

Yesterday an inquest was taken at the Hat alto
Feathers public-house, Christchurch, 131ackfriar s-road, •
