of distinguished persons at his house in Grosvenor-
square, on Saturday last.
HYDE PARK yesterday, exhibited a-scene of extra-
ordinary bustle. The day being very fide, and free
from dust, rendered the Promenade delightful. The
carriage costume exhibited half-mourning, in which
silver-grey was the predominant colour for dresses,
and drab beaver hats, with a plume of feathers. The
equipages, in double line, extended quite from Cum-
berland-gate to Apsley House. The equestrians were
very numerous, and among them were many per-
sons of distinction. The Promenades, too, were
crowded with well-dressed company • his Royal
Highness the Duke of CLARENCE, with two of his
lovely daughters, walked through the Park seve-
ral times.

By the annual account of the number of Broad I
Cloths milled at the several mills in the West Riding
of the County of Yolk, -it appears that there has been
a decrease since the last year of 61,061 pieces of
broads, and of 20,614 of narrows—in yards, a defi-
ciency of 2,672,102. The greatest number of broad
pieces milled was in 1813, being then 369,890: and
there was a deficiency from that quantity in the six
following years of 106,512 pieces.
IRELAND.—We are happy to have it our power to
state, that the utmost tranquillity reigns at present
in our County, and that none of those nightly meet•
ings, which some time ago disgraced it, are to be
heard of. The number of examples made at Tu am As-
sizes, and the activeanddetermined measures adopted
by the Magistrates and Gentlen:en, very soon put a
stop to the mistaken career of the Ribbonmen.
TIIE 'A/LUTHER'S MEDICAL ASSISTANT.--Sit ARTHUR
CLARKS, Author of the Essay on Bathing, has just
published a small volume under the above title, which
will doubtless have a most extensive circulation.
In this little Treatise he has given a concise and comprehen-
sive view of the various cliwases peculiar to infancy and child-
hood, and has endeavoured to communicate the results of consi-
derable experience a::d observation in an unadorned and familiar
manner, with a view of producing an useful compendium for
mothers, awl as flinch divested of technical, or scientific lan-
suaie, as the nature of the subject would admit. •

We understand among the persons apprehended
for treasonable practices, in Glasgow and the neigh-
bourhood, are several persons above the common
ranks of life ; and some who, from their employ-
ments, might have been expected to have acted dif-
ferently—a Clerk in a Public Office, and a Serjelmt
in a respectable Ccrps, are said to be of the number,
and some who, by industry, have raised themselves tea
respectable situation in life.—Caledonian Merciry.
The-object of the Duke of WELLINGTON and Lord
MELVILLE'S late visit to Sheerness, was to inspect the
improvements going on in the Dock-yard, and to fix
upon a spot for the gun-wharf; as the gun-wharf is
in the Ordnance department, it required the presence
of the Noble Duke, who is at the head .of that Board.
It was agreed on that it should be at the North extre-
mity of the Yard, including a part of the garrison
where the market is held, and a row of houses called
Ordnance-row. The enlargement of the barracks was
also another object of his Grace's visit, to effect
which, it was resolved, that a range of buildings,
six stories high, one side of which fronts the Parade,
and is now occupied by the artificers of the Dock-
! 'aid, should be converted into barracks.
