lic princess on the throne; but the prince, it seems, was SO taken with the charms of this amiable young princess, that the king, his father, could not prevail on himself to refuse his consent. It is a whimsical coincidence, that the two exhibitions in fine arts opened together at the Egyptian-hall, should be by gentlemen of the names of Day and Martin! Thus boots are polished and tastes refined, if not by the same individuals and means, at least by namesakes, who might bring the Polish from Rome and the Blacking from Vesuvius. GENEROUS REWARD OF HONESTY!-A porter of the reduced office in the bank of England found, a short time since, in Cornhill, a pocket-book, containing upwards of seventy pounds, in bank-notes, and a banker's check for eighty pounds, after some difficulty he discovered the owner, a person of considerable property in the City-road, restored the book to him, and received for his reward the sum of five shillings! A remarkable suicide took place at Vienna. A man repaired to the general hospital, and begged that persons might be sent about seven o'clock in the evening, to carry away the body of the cook of prince Kohary, who had committed suicide. The men who received the orders went at the hour appointed. The porter refused to admit them, and said that the cook had re-entered the house about half an hour before, and was very well. At last, how-, ever, he allowed them to proceed to his chamber, and they found the cook, in fact, lying dead on the floor. This man, who had half-an-hour before laid the table-cloth for the prince, and announced his own death, put an end to his existence for love. A pair of the beautiful and gigantic non-descript elks, known by the Indians of the upper Missouri (where they have been lately discovered) by the name of Wapetti, arrived here, on Tuesday, the 9th instant, on their way to London. These noble animals are the size of the horse, with immense spreading horns; their form the most perfect model of strength and beauty, combining the muscular strength of the race-horse, with the lightness and agility of the greyhound, are capable, with ease, of drawing a carriage or carrying a person more then twenty miles an hour. They are perfectly domesticated, and of the most amiable and gentle disposition.Liverpool Advertiser. A VOICE FROM ST. HELENA.— Mr. O'Meara's new work, containing anecdotes of Buonaparte, during his exile in St. Helena, has already excited an uncommon share of interest, as every incident in the life of that extraordinary man must do. The following are some extracts from the book: Of the battle of Waterloo, Buonaparte said—′ If you had lost the battle of Waterloo, what a state would England have been in! The flower of: your youth would have been destroyed; for not a man, not even lord Wellington would have escaped.' I observed here that lord Wellington had determined. never to leave the field. Napoleon replied- He could not retreat. He would have been de-i stroyed with his army, if, instead of the Prussians, Grouchy had come up.' I asked him if he had not believed, for some time, that the Prussians, who had shewn themselves, were a part of Grouchy's corps? He replied Certainly; and I can now scarcely comprehend why it was a Prussian division, and not that of Grouchy.' I then took the liberty of asking whether, if neither Grouchy nor the Prussians had arrived, it would not have been a drawn battle. Napoleon answered The English army would have been destroyed. They were defeated at mid-day; but accident, or, more likely, destiny decided that lord Wellington should gain it I could scarcely believe that he would have given me a battle; because, if he had retreated to Antwerp, as he ought to have done, I must have been overwhelmed by the armies of three or four hundred thousand men who were coming against me. It was the greatest folly to disunite the English and Prussian armies. They ought to have been united; and I cannot conceive the reason of their separation. It was folly in Wellington to give me battle in a place where, if defeated, all must have been lost, for he could not retreat. There was a wood in his rear, and but one road to gain it, He would have been destroyed. Moreover, he allowed himself to be surprised by me. This was a great fault. He ought to have been encamped from the beginning of June, as he must have known that I intended to attack him. He might have lost every thing; but he has been fortunante; his destiny has prevailed; and every thing he did will meet with applause. My intentions were to attack and destroy the English army.' BRIGHTON. COURT AND FASHIONABLE GLEANER It is now finally decided, that Scotland will be honoured by the presence of the king, this summer. His majesty purposes going by water, and to embark, not here, as once ardently and commonly hoped, but at Greenwich, almost immediately after the close of the present session of parliament, which his majesty will prorogue in person, somewhere about the close of the first week in August. We have the satisfaction to know, that soon after his return from Scotland, his majesty intends being at the Pavilion. It is reported in the north, that the king designs the honour of a visit, to the duke of Gordon, marquis of Stafford, and the earl of Fife. THE KING'S COURT.-Monday, at three o'clock, his majesty held a court at his palace in Pall-mall,, for the purpose of holding a chapter of the most noble Order of the Garter, at which sir George Naylor, garter principal king at arms, was sworn into office. The bishop of Winchester was then introduced by garter king at arms and the usher of the black rod, and sworn into office as prelate of the order, this being the first chapter since his lordship's appointment. The marquis of Cholmondeley was then introduced, garter king of arms bearing the insignia of the order, with which his majesty was graciously pleased to invest the noble marquis, who had been previously knighted with the Guelphic Order. The chancellor then pronounced the usual admonition to the marquis, who afterwards received the congratulations of the knights companions present. His majesty afterwards gave audience to the Danish minister, the marquis of Londonderry, the duke of Wellington, the marquis of Cholmondeley, the lord chamberlain, and lord Bradford. Mr. Elliston had the honour, personally, to submit to his majesty's inspection the plans for the projected alterations of the theatre royal, Drury-lane, which his majesty was graciously pleased to examine minutely, and to favour with his entire approbation and sanction. Prince Leopold has directed two hundred guineas to be sent to the committee for the relief of the distressed Irish. Captain Malcolm had a dinner party, at his residence, King's road, on Saturday last, and Mrs. Malcolm, an evening party. Mr. and Mrs. Barratt have returned to their residence, Pavilion-parade. The prince of Saxe Cobourg will return to London in about three weeks, from the conti nent. On Saturday morning, Mr. Laurence Peel led to the hymeneal altar lady Jane Lennox, sister to the present duke of Richmond. The ceremony was performed by the lord bishop of Chichester, at the dowager duchess of Richmond's, in Waterlooplace, London. On Thursday se'nnight, the prince and princess of Denmark and suite arrived at the Steynehotel, in this town, and the following morning inspected the royal Pavilion, with which they expressed themselves highly gratified. They set out the same day for Dover, passed through Lewes, Battle, &c. and reached Dover at one o'clock, the following morning, Saturday, and went to Wright's hotel. At two the detachment of the royal staff corps marched in to do duty during the stay of the royal visiters and at day-break a salute was fired. There being too much sea, their royal highnesses did not embark, but the prince visited and bathed in the royal Clarence baths. In the evening the staff detachment was paraded in front of the inn window where their highnesses were, and the band played many delightful airs. The standard was displayed from the castle; and at the heights, public buildings, and the shipping in the harbour, colours were waving in abun dance. Sunday morning, at eight o'clock, their royal highnesses and suite embarked on board one of the great boats, which conveyed them to the Royal Sovereign, yacht, lying in the roads, amidst the cheers and hearty good wishes of a large crowd as sembled to see them off, the guns of the heights firing a royal salute.. The duke and duchess of Richmond arrived at the York-hotel, on Thursday, and lord Dulage on Friday. The arrivals within the few last days have been exceedingly numerous, in consequence, should the weather turn out favourable, a brilliant display of company may be expected on the racedown to day, to witness the commencement of the annual sports there; and, at the theatre in the evening, which has been engaged by Mr. Russell, of Drury-lane celebrity; the best provisions to meet the taste of the public, therefore, may be confidently anticipated. The libraries, generally, thrive under the fostering patronage of ton. Davis continues the vocal magnet at Tuppen's; at Lucombe's, Miss Hammersley, who warbles charmingly, and Mr. and Miss Gibbon-one 66 a tower of strength." Gibbon, truly, was never in better voice than this year, and never has he been more successful in exciting the plaudits of an auditory. Duets have frequently been sung by him and his daughter, and never without a burst of approbation, eulogizing expressions, and encore. Wright commenced his routine of concerts last week, at his saloon in North-street, and elegant and numerous has been the attendance. The astonishing performance of the junior Wright, on the pedal harp, is, in itself, a resistless attraction with the amateurs. Report speaks favourably of the vocal talents of Miss Melville. As the population of the town increases, so increase the names in the subscription book at Loder's; the stirling worth of this literary lounge, in all that appertains to such a concern, it would be worse than useless to deny; and where such worth exists, patronage, as the shade the substance, must be the effect. Donaldson's elegantly furnished aud fitted up lounge, rises daily in fashionable estimation. TOWN AND COUNTY. That part of our Level, called the cricket ground, exhibited a scene of pleasing interest, almost every day during the week before last. On Monday se'nnight the return match between the batters and bowlers of this place and Westgrinstead commenced, the former, a second time, were defeated. Westgrinstead, first innings, went out for sixty-four runs-their opponents ditto, for one hundred and fifty-nine. Four wickets of which Westgrinstead, in the second innings, giving way to six runs merely, the parties declined in dudgeon, and paid the stakes. Mr. Pierpoint of the Brighton eleven, got thirty-six runs from his own bat, and was caught out at last. The highest number of runs got by any one player of Westginstead, was thirteen, in their first innings, by Mr. Grant. The Brighton club is now matched against that of Godalming.-On Thursday se'nnight T. R. Kemp, esq. the lord of the manor, gave an entertained on the above ground, to about two hundred of his workmen, and every way gratifying and cheerful was the spectacle displayed. Mr. and Mrs. Kemp, and a party of friends, took dinner on the ground in an open marquee. On Friday se'nnight a variety of diversions, in celebration of the coronation anniversary of his present majesty, attracted, at least, ten thousand individuals to the same spot between sun-rise, and sun-set. Dinners and refreshments were served out at all hours. Not an accident occurred to qualify with regret the pleasures enjoyed. Mr. Ireland, of the Golden Cross Inn, was the caterer on the several occasions. It would have been difficult to have found a better provider, or one who more heartily, and, we may add, successfully, endeavours to diffuse satisfaction. Mr. Tamplin gave a supper, and plenty of sparkling stout, to about seventy of his workmen, at the Golden Cross Inn, on Saturday se'nnight. The Swift steam packet continues her employment between this place and Dieppe, with gratifying success. The number of embarkations have more than doubled the former average, since her arrival on the station. A singular occurrence to happen in a steam yacht, took place on board in the night of Tuesday, or, rather, Wednesday morning. A lady, who, with her mother, had been taken on board at Dieppe, was safely put to bed, during the progress of the vessel to this place. The mother, soon after her arrival, was removed to the New Ship inn. Mother and child are doing well. Catch and Glee Club.-This harmonic society has become a leading point of attraction in the town, and is every where spoken of with the approbation it deserves. Lord Lennox, Mr. H. Sumner, M.P. and various officers of the 7th fusiliers, were among the welcome visitants at the last meeting on Tuesday. A whimsical incident occurred at Tuppen's on Monday se'nnight, about ten o'clock at night, which, for a little time, rather alarmed the ladies, but which is now thought of with rather more good humour than regret. A hardy son of Neptune, not one of our local seamen, it is understood, but a tar from some vessel or craft afloat in the channel, suddenly made his appearance among the elegant crowd at the library. The officiating beadle at the door would have stayed his approach, but Jack exhibited his grappling tackle, fancy style boarded, bearing down all resistance. Hitching his trowsers after the momentary conflict, he gazed, with apparent delight and astonishment, at the blaze of female beauty which the place exhibited and would have singled out a partner, had not the gentlemen interfered to dispute his choice. Jack, however, was not of a kidney easily to be put asidehis form was athletic and muscular, and a corresponding spirit, when opposed by the male part of the throng, shewed itself in indignant flashes from his eyes; nor was his tongue idle-he insisting upon his right to the overhaul disputed, and which, by boarding and conquest, he said he had fairly gained. To dislodge him had become almost a matter of impossibility, untill a posse of constables, who had been sent for, arrived, and who were presently in order for action. The sailor now, like a good |
