LEICESTERSHIRE AND RUTLAND..

The Rev. Mr. Davies, of St. Nicholas's, Leicester, on the 17th ult. summoned two of his parishioners before the magistrates, for refusing the payment of Easter-offerings, which he conceived to be due to him, as an established custom. The magistrates, after a full hearing of the question, deter. mined that Mr. D. possessed no such right by custom; but that, as vicar of the parish, he was entitled, by common law, to twopence yearly at Easter from every parish ioner of sixteen years of age, and no more.

STAFFORDSHIRE.

Amongst the variety of illuminations which this country has exhibited on the great occasions of public rejoicing, there has, perhaps, never appeared any one so worthy of being recorded as that which was displayed at the manufactories of THE SoHo, in Staffordshire, on the evening of Thursday, the 9th instant, in celebration of the Peace; whether we consider the great scale on which it was exhibited, the exquisitely elegant taste of its design, the appropriate simplicity of its nrottos, or the brilliant and enchanting effect of the whole. Mr. Boulton, desirous that the public, as well as his own private friends and acquaintance, should be gratified with a view of this spectacle, which science, combined with a correct and refined taste, had pro. duced, had previously made arrangements for the accommodation of the public, by appropriating for their use that part of his pleasure grounds which commands a view of the manufactory. The ground consists of a sloping lawn, bounded on each side by plantations of firs; through the valley below the lawn runs a canal which divides it from a broad terrace that extends along the front of the building; no spot could have been more advantageously formed for the full effect of such an exhibition. Soon

after nine o'clock the gates of his pleasure grounds were thrown open, which was an nounced by the firing of cannon. The inhabitants of Birmingham and the populous district round it were assembled, it is computed, to the number of from sixty to a hundred thousand people. The noise and tumult with which the multitudes poured into the pleasure grounds, was succeeded by a profound silence, the effect of astonishment, upon their reaching the lawn from which the illumination appeared, displaying a scene of taste and splendor scarcely to be paralleled. Immediately above the centre of the illuminated building was a brilliant star of immense size, which appeared as though it were suspend cd in the air; its centre shone with a bright red light, which gradually became paler till it was imperceptibly lost in its long white rays; the brilliancy of the rays was much heightened by their tremulous motion, occasioned every now and then by the gentle agitation of the air. Some feet below the star, surmounting the façade of the building, was the crown, formed of goldcoloured lamps; its circle was richly studded with ruby, emerald, and sapphire coloured lights, which, together with the velvet cushion formed of transparent crim son, gave it a very brilliant and magnificent appearance. Below the crown the prince's feathers were gracefully formed of brilliant white; these appeared between the letters G. R. which were described in large print capitals of yellow lamps on either side. Beginning at the extremity of the right wing of the manufactory, and extending the whole length of its front, was expressed in large capitals of bright yellow lamps,

BY PERSEVERANCE, VALOUR, UNION, AND MAGNANIMITY." Below the line of

this inscription, on the right wing, in an escutcheon of rose-coloured lamps, elcgantly decorated with ornaments of flowers of the same colour, there appeared described in emerald capitals, forming three lines, and in connexion with the motto above, "EUROPE REPOSES FREE ;" and on the left wing, in an escutcheon of the same form and colour, &c. &c. "COMMERCE & THE ARTS REVIVE." Below the prince's feathers and forming an arch immediately above the gateway, appeared the rising sun in orange and yellow coloured lights; the word "PEACE," in large capitals of green lamps, was seen between the rays partaking of the same semicircular figure. On each side of the gateway the columns were ornamented with a spiral, composed of green, purple, and yellow lamps; on the right and left of which was a fleur-de lis of brilliant white light. We should ob serve, that the whole outline of the build ing was marked with a beading of white lamps, so as to give its complete figure; and also the windows were only illuminated sufficiently to mark their fo form. The

mterval of every ten minutes, for more than two hours, was marked by a discharge of cannon, and followed by sky-rockets that ascended to an unusual height. About half an hour after the commencement of these fire-works, there arose magnificently from behind the star already described, an illuminated balloon; which, after it had at tained a certain elevation, diffused for several minutes brilliant stars, the balloon gradually rising higher and higher in a north easterly direction till it seemed itself like a star, and soon after totally disappeared; the clearness and serenity of the evening Contributed greatly to its effect. Two other balloons of a similar kind ascended each at the intervals of twenty minutes, the last of which was soon after succeeded by a general discharge from twelve pieces of cannon and a flight of rockets. The spectacle concluded with the ascent of a fourth balloon, which could not have been less than 30 feet in height, and, if possible, it was still more beautifully illuminated than any of the former; instead of stars, its course was marked through the air by continued showers of gold, red, and white fire alternately changing, till it was lost sight of in the immensity of the heavens.

GLOUCESTERSHIRE.

Our paragraph relative to the misconceptions in the use of power in Gloucester gaol, has had the salutary effect of calling the abused complainants to the bar of the Houses of Parliament, where we hope the false principles will be corrected on which the mal-practices are founded. No attempt having been made to correct our reasoning, we presume that it is deemed unanswerable. Married.] At Gloncester, J. Luke, esq. of London, to Miss A.

OXFORDSHIRE.

On Tuesday the 14th of June, the University and city of Oxford were visited by the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia, accompanied by the Prince Regent, and attended by a numerous and brilliant suite of nobles and princes. Every arrangement had been previously made by the Chancellor (Lord Grenville), and the heads of the University, for the accommo

dation and entertainment of the illustrious guests, and for the gratification of their laudable curiosity respecting the most emi nent seats of learning in Europe. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent was the first to enter the town: he was soon followed by the Emperor, with his sister, the Duchess of Oldenburgh: last of all came the King of Prussia, with his two sons. The Chancellor was supported in his func tions by Lords Essex, Fortescue, Harcourt, Pembroke, Spencer, Sidmonth, &c. &c. Having severally taken possession of the apartments prepared for them in different colleges, the party proceeded to view the most remarkable buildings. Christ Church, Merton, Magdalen, Queen's, All Soul's, and other colleges engagéd in succession their attention; but the chapel of New College seemed chiefly to attract their observation, from which they visited the Clarendon press and the Bodleian library. In the evening a magnificent banquet was provided in the Radcliffe library; and this circumstance, joined with the number and rank of the guests, the peculiar dresses of the various academic characters, and the brilliant assemblage of female spectators in the galleries, produced an effect at once novel and striking. On Wednesday morn ing the illustrious visitors repaired to the theatre, where, in the midst of a most numerous assembly, the degree of Doctor of Civil Law was conferred on the Emperor, and the King of Prussia; and a diploma of the same rank was granted for the Duke of Wellington, in which the two monarchs, now members of the University, concurred. At this period of the business, the public orator, Mr. CROWE, delivered an impres sive Latin discourse, adapted to the occa sion. After this the Austrian ambassador, Prince Metternich; the Russian ambassador, Count Lieven; and Marshal Blucher, a Prussian commander, were admitted to the rank of Doctor of Civil Law. A number of original congratulatory poetical addresses in Greek, Latin, and English, were then recited by students of different colleges; at the conclusion of which, the Chancellor dissolved the assembly, and the strangers withdrew from the theatre. Soon afterwards they visited, and attentively examined, the observatory; and in the af ternoon the Emperor and the King, with their snite, set off for Blenheim. Before leaving Oxford, the Emperor, the King of Prussia, the Prince hereditary of Orange, the Prince of Mecklenburgh, Prince Metternich, and Field Marshal Blucher, now Prince of Wahlstadt, proceeded to the council chamber, where they were ad mitted to the freedom of the city. Blenheim, the imperial and royal strangers were received by the Marquis of Blandford, Lords Charles and Francis Spencer. After an hour employed in glancing at that mag nificent monument of national triumph, the

Emperor, with his sister and suite, pro-
ceeded on to the splendid residence of the
Marquis of Buckingham, at Stowe; but
the King of Prussia returned to London by
Oxford. From Stowe, the imperial party
came back to London, by Aylesbury, where
they had a view of the late retreat of
Louis XVIII.

Married.] At Oxford, Mr. Dafters, to
Miss E. Saunders.

Died.] At Oxford, on the 22d ult. 68,
the Rev. Joseph White, D. D. Canon of
Christ Church, Regins professor of He-
brew, and Landian professor of Arabic in
the University; and rector of Melton, in
Suffolk. Dr. W. is succeeded in the He-
brew chair, and the prebend of Christ
Church, by the Rev. Richard Lawrence,
LL.D. The Laudian Arabic professor-
ship is conferred by election on the Rev.
Dr. Winstanley, principal of St. Alban's
Hall, and Camden professor of History.
Dr. White was born of humble parents, in
Gloucestershire. From his parents he in-
herited a serious temper, and employed
such time as could be spared from his cm-
ployment in his father's profession, that of
a weaver, in reading such books as fell in
his way. The youth's attainments at last
attracting the notice of a gentleman of the
neighbourhood, he patronized him and sent
him to Wadham College, in Oxford. In
February, 1773, Mr. W. took the degree
of M. A. and by the advice of Dr. Moore,
afterwards Archbishop of Canterbury, ap
plied to the study of the Oriental langua-
ges. In 1775 he was appointed Laudian
professor of Arabic, on entering on which
office he pronounced a masterly oration,
soon afterwards printed, on the utility of
the Arabic tongue in theological studies; by
which many were induced to devote them-
selves to that branch of literary occupa-
tion, formerly much neglected. In 1774
he became a fellow of his college: in 1778
he published the Philoxenian Syriac version
of the four gospels, from the manuscripts
given by Dr. Gloucester Ridley, to New
College. In November, 1771, Mr. W.
preached and printed a discourse recom-
mending, but hitherto unsuccessfully, a re-
vision of the English translation of the Old
Testament: about the same time he was
appointed one of the preachers of White-
hall Chapel. In 1780 Mr. W. published
a Specimen of the Civil and Military In-
stitutes of Timmour or Tamerlane," trans-
lated from the Persian. In Easter term
Mr. W. was appointed to preach the
Bampton lecture the next year. In pre-
paration for this enterprise, he purposely
consulted with the learned Mr. Badcock,
then settled as a dissenting minister in
South Molton, in Devonshire; a circum-
stance which, upon the death of Mr. B. in
1788, occasioned certain discussions, by
which a temporary cloud was drawn over
the reputation of the lecturer, on the score

of candour in the acknowledgment of important services received from his deceased friend. In consequence of his eminent reputation as an able defender of the Chris tian faith, Mr. W. was appointed, by Lord Thurlow, then Chancellor, to be a prebendary of Gloucester; soon after which he took the degree of D. D. About 1790 Dr. White vacated his fellowship by marriage, and accepted a college living in Norfolk, where he usually passed some months. In the parsonage house he erected a printing press, furnished with Oriental types, to be employed in printfng the Syriac Old Tes tament; his man and maid servant laboured at the press, while Mrs. W. assisted her husband in the work of composition. Dr. W. afterwards published a learned work, called "Egyptiaca," relative to sundry antiquities of Egypt; also an edition and version of the account of that country, by an Arabic writer, Abdollatif. Dr. W. atterwards published a highly useful work, called a “Diatessaron,” or the history of our Saviour, in the original expressions of the four evangelists, corrected and collated with each other.-Mr. Binwell, 49 years clerk of St. Aldate's.-Mr. Barratt, linendraper.

Such is the existing or the expected intercourse between England and the continent, that fourteen bye-boats are fitting out at Dover for the accommodation of passen. gers. Regular packets will, it is expected, be also established between Dover and Ostend. The king's packets sail from Dover on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Satur day; two go with the early mails, and two with the late and foreign mails.

The speculations on the hop-duty, for this year, have commenced; it is now laid at 110,0001.
