Yesterday being the Anniversary of St. Matthew, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriffs, and other City Officers, went in grand procession from the Mansion House, to hear Divine Service in Christ Church, Newgate-street, where the Governors of the several Reyal Hospitals, and a numerous and fashionable congregation were assembled. An excellent sermon was preached by the Rev. Thos. Aquila Dale, A.B. of St. John's College, Cambridge, who took his text from St. Paul's Epistle to the Colossians, ch. iii. ver. 14. •' And above all things put on charity, which is the bond of pertectedness." After Divine Service they repaired to the great Hall in Christ's Hospital, which was fitted op for the occasion with seats on each side, and a railod stage or rostrum in the centre, for the youthful orators of the day. The hall was crowded with a most respectable audience of Ladies and Gentlemen. The Lord Mayor, Aldermen, the several Governors, &c. sat at a long table placed across the extreme cod of the Hall, the State Sword and Mace being laid before them on the table. When the company were seated, Master Lebbens Charles Humfrey, the senior scholar of the Latin Grammar School, mounted the rostrum, and addressing himself to the Lord Mayor, &c. delivered an appropriate Oration, in Latin, which was received with great and merited applause. Master Just Henry Alt, the senior scholar of the English Grammar School, next ascended the rostrum, and delivered the English Oration, which was received with general satisfaction, and acclamation.. The Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Governors, and the audience in general, contributed the usual donations to the youthful orators; the cornpiny then dispersed highly gratified, and the pro, cession returned in the same state to the Mansion• , House, where there was a sumptuous entertainment.  On .the 26th ult. letters of administration of the personal estate of the late Duke of DORSET (he having died intestate) were granted under the seal of the Prerogative Court in Doctors' Commons, to his mother the Duchess of Douse?, now wife of Viscount Wittrworern, Lewd Lieutenant of Ireland. The effects were stated under ‘90,000, (being the personals within the province of Canterbury), and the stamp duty amounted to £B6O.

Wednesday sennight, a fine child, about three years old, died, in Claythorn-street, Glasgow, in consequence of swallowing a poisonous liquid which had been purchased for the purpose of killing flies, but inadvertently left within her reach. Pierre Lejsavin, aged 38 years, a labourink man, living in the Commune of Naizin, near Pontivy, in the- Department of the Morbihan, was last week brought before the Court of Assizes of Vannes, accused of the murder of his mother. It appeared by the evidence given on the trial, that on the 3d of October last, he returned home intoxicated, and wet through with the rain ; on his arrival, he took it into his head to get into the oven, in ordet to warm and dry himself, but the oven having been heated not long before, he burnt his hands and knees in the attempt ; this rendered him furious, and he returned to the room in which all the family slept, and which was in total tlai L11C33 he there Aew in a passion against his son, a lad aged about foutteen years, for not having told him that the oven had been lately heated, and took up a large bar in order to strike him. '1 he grandfather, IsCathutin Lepotvin, more than 60 years, old, ran and endeavoured to cool the rage of his son; but this only enraged him the more, and he was about to strike his father, when Mathurine, his mother, went to the assistance of her husband. She was no sooner come near him than the prisoner struck her twice on the head, with the bar, of which blows she died in a few hours after, praying HEAVEN for the pardon of her son. During the trial, the prisoner constantly denied these facts ; but the Jury having unanimously found him Guilty—Death, he was sentenced as a parricide, to be conducted to the place of execution in a shirt, with his feet naked, and his head covered with a black veil ; to have h's right hand struck off, and afterwards to be beheaded. lie has appealed from this sentence to the Court of Cessation.
