The Penne REGENT pomp. nod his intended visit
to Windsor, yesterday, in consequence of the fog.—
It is asset probable that his Royal Highness will
'heave town today, if the weather is at all dear.
The French are far beneath us in all inventions
that rebate to comfort, though they hare some institu•
lions which are most admirable for the interests of
Julatranily. Amongst these is the recent establishment
4 a Soeiety, by a considerable ninetter of proles-
Ousel God:Omen, for the purprowillt stfisdicating the
claim, of injered individuals, who are without the
'means of paying for regular assistance. In England,
a pour man frequently pays his last shilling in an en-
deavour to mow the right of which he has been
deprived ; the attorney whom he employs refuses to
'proceed further, end a just cause is ruiued, from
want of pecuniary resources. ft is not so now in
Paris.. The Society now established, esamine care-
friily the merits of every cause presented to them.
'As the), are mostly men of talents awl reputation,
they are consequently qualified to judge of the 50e.,1
cess that may attend it. If it be just, they undertake'
4t at their own risk, promote it by money, talent and
application and in the event of failure, bear all the
losses. Should they succeed, the plaintiff has no
costs to pay, for these they take core shall he borne
by the Defendant. Surely the liheral-minded law.,
yen of the British Metropolis will not allow this.
institution to be singular.
The fog operated so effectually on the vision of the
audience at Drury-lane 'theatre, on Tuesday even-
ing, that those in the front of the house were not able
to set the scenery during the first act of the tragedy,
and the galleries called loudly for additional lights
to he placed on the stage; when Mr. KEAN stepped
forward, and they addressed the audience:—" Ladies
and Gentlemen, you must be perfectly aware that no
additional lights can counteract the effects of the at.
biosphere." The performances then proceeded with-
out further interruption.
. The fog was again so thick at one time, yesterday
morning, that on Ludgate-hill, and other parts of
the City, the tradesmen and colfee.house keepers
were uccessitated to have candles in their slaits and
rooms; but about two, the atmosphere became com-
paratively clear, and so continued 'till about five
o'clock, when a fog, neatly as dense as that of Tues-
day, spits filled the streets.
The mail coaches were delayed yesterday and
Tuesday, by the fog.
Yesterday, Dec. 211, No. '2387, another Prize
of E 30,000, was sold by. G. CAftROLL, at his New
State Lottery-Office, No. 19, Cornhill ; there are
Two Crand Prizes of 830,000 still in the Wheel,
which are on sale at his Old Office, No. 26, Defoe&
street, and at his New Fortunate Office, No. Op
Cornhill.
A market gtrdener of the name of Fuller, residing
in thizeity•.rearl, took to Neegate-trarket yesterday
mottling, a fan of horseradish, containing 30 sticks,
of only one year's growth, weighing, when trimmed
