MMCELLANIES.  Datchet Bridge was opened on Monday. Her Majesty went first over it in her care age and four, accompanied by the Princesses Elizabeth and Mary. The Mausoleum at Windsor, which was -begun by Cardinal Wolsey, has lately been finished, and the remains of the late Princess Amelia removed into it. A new Comet has been discovered l'y the French astronomers in the constellation of Et-alarms. Its progress is retrograde; there is no tail visible, and the nudes is only Observable by the aid of good glasses. Monday, Nir. Walsh, the stock-broker, underwent a final ex.. amination at Bow-street, at the termination of which he was fully committed to Newgate for trial, on a charge of feloniously stealing 16,0001. and upwards, the property of Sir Thomas Plomer. Mr Walsh is reported to have since shewn such evident signs of derangement, as to require the attendance of a madhouse keeper. On Friday se'nnight the Court Martial held at Plymouth on James Martin, a black, aged 25, a native of St. Domingo; Manuel Joachim, aged 30, a Poi tuguese ; John Hockey Williams, aged 24, a relive of Ireland ; and John Millington, aged 17, a native of Staffordshire; the mutineers and murderers who had been put on board a French brig, captured by the Diana, closed its sittings, when they were all found-guilty, and ordered fur execution. The trial lasted three days, and the Court, of which Rear Admiral Sir Edward Buller, Bart. was President, paid the utmost attention to every thing in favour of the prisoners. The awful sentence, although read in the most impressive manner by the Judge Advocate, had not the smallest erect on any one but tslillineton, who cried much, for which be was jeered by Williams, who told him that hanging was nothing but choaking. On the close of the trial the President addressed Boyd and Grant, the chief 'witnesses, and who had refnsed to engage in the mutiny, commending them, in high terms, for their sense of duty and loyalty, so- honourable to themselves, and so consistent with the character of British sailors. Early on Wednesday morning, the residence of Viscount St. Asaph, in Berke!ey-square, was broken open, and valuables to a considerable amount stoien. The villains ent6ed from the garden, having climbed, as is imagined, Lord Essex's-walle in Hillstreet. By forcing open the sash of a window on the groundfloor, they were enahl, d to perforate with girnblett the window-shutter, which being thus weakened gave way to their force. It appears they were not aware '.f the return of the family to town, as they had the temerity to advance even to his Lordship's bed-room, who, being surprized by the appearance of a light, exclaimed, who is there ? The light was, after a short pause, extinguished,wlien her I .adyship imagining it to he the maid coming to light the lire, they recomposed themselves to sleep. 'Hie consummate boldness these men possessed, impelled theirs to place chairs to impede the progress of their pursuers in the outer rooms ; but being satisfied that the family were not .conscious of their intrusion, they retired to the ground floor, and ransacking every drawer, and investi ,atingthe contentsuf every pocket-book and paper, they selected the most valuable effects, but left every thing that they imagined might lead to detection. The Christmas Festivals will soon resume their wonted splendour and hospitality ; and blended with the taste and beauty of the Fair Sex, will scatter and dispel the winter's gloom. But the latter will remember, that Beauty cannot receive a charm eirpassing that which arises from the use of Hubert's Rosette Powder, which not only removes superfluous hairs on the face, neck, and arms—but also imparts the most delicate and lovely bloom r to the complexion.
