Monday, January 1, 1827.




London,
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30.

The late M. Talma's father was a respectable dentist in Fish-street, Soho-square. His name was on an oval white enamelled plate on the door. Mr. Talma, the son, was one of the junior scholars at the Soho-square Academy, in and prior to the year 1781. Mr. Holman was at the academy at the same time. It was the custom there to get up and perform plays previous to the holidays, to which performance the friends of the scholars were invited, and M. Talma and Mr. Holman performed principal characters, and they always received much applause, and this, no doubt, induced them both to take to the stage. M. Talma was them about sixteen years of age, and was always considered to have been born in England. He was a youth of a very lively turn, and considered one of the best classical scholars at the time. As there have been doubts respecting the country which gave him birth, this communication may probably decide it.
A gentleman named Wilson, a merchant, residing in Martin's-lane, Cannon-street, city, while attending a sale at the Auction Mart on Thursday, had a casket of valuable jewels stolen from his pocket, worth upwards of �200 with which the thief made his escape.
Yesterday morning early the house of Mr. Hooper, tanner, in Grange Walk, Bermondsey, was entered by thieves, who regaled themselves with several bottles of wine, and carried off a large quantity of plate and other things.

A short time ago, a man went into a tradesman's shop in this town to purchase a box. One was shown to him, which suited in every respect except that the man thought it not large enough to hold a hat. "Not hold a hat ! bless you !" said the tradesman, "look there," at the same time taking his own off his head, putting it in the box, and shutting the lid. This perfectly satisfied the buyer; and after some further conversation, he paid for the box, and carried it off with the hat in it, the owner not recollecting the circumstance of putting it in the box until a considerable time after its being carried off.- Maidstone Gazette.

On Thursday afternoon, as a fine boy, about eight years of age, the son of a Mr. Bateman, of King John's Court, Shoreditch, carter, was diverting himself upon a heap of dust, a large boar belonging to a person in the court plunged at him. Its large tusk came in contact with one of the boys thighs, which left a cut upwards of ten inches in length. The friends of the boy, alarmed by his cries, sallied forth, armed, and soon put the animal to death. Surgical aid was procured, and hopes are entertained that the boy will do well.

A daring attempt to rob was made on Sunday evening last upon the premises of Mr. Sayer, near the West Gate of this city, by a fellow in a white frock, with his face and hands blackened. It appears that Mr. Sayer's family and servants were gone to Church, leaving him only at home, and at about half-past seven, after several knocks had been made at the door, Mr.S. proceeded with a candle to see who was there, and immediately upon his lifting the latch, the fellow forced himself in, seized Mr.S. by the throat, and succeeded in getting him down on the floor, but the villain not being able effectually to close the door so as to shut himself in, and great struggle and noise which Mr.S. made being heard by a person passing by, and the fellow hearing that person coming to the door, he loosened his hold, and precipitately made off.

Southampton,
Saturday, December 30.

The much talked of Fancy Dress Ball, given by J. Fleming, Esq., took place on Thursday evening at Stoneham Park, the residence of that gentleman. The preparations were on the most magnificent scale; the park, from the house to the Belvidera Lodge and to the other gates, was brilliantly illuminated by lamps suspended from the trees. The suite of rooms in the house were tastefully and most expensively decorated and illuminated; and which it is considered that nearly 600 persons of the first rank and respectability in the county were present, in all the varied costumes of the known world, the coup d'oeil may be more easily imagined than described.
Among the company at this truly splendid fete were :- Lady Bolton, Lord and Lady Ashtown, Sir Joseph Yorke, Marchioness of Clanricarde & family, Sir Henry and Lady Rivers, Sir Wm. And Lady Heathcote, Lady Manwey, Lady Arundel, Right.Hon. Sturges Bourne, R.H. Dottin, Esq. M.P. and lady, Mr. Villebois, General Gubbins and family, Mr. and the Hon.

German and Swiss Peasants, Turks, Chinese, Greeks, Spaniards, Hamlets, Romeos, Der Frieschutz, Robin Hood, with other characters too numerous to mention. There was a crowd of Lady and Gentlemen Courtiers. Mr. Fleming and Mr. Dottin wore the regimentals of their cavalry troops.
The company danced quadrilles, waltzes, &c. in the saloon, library, and billiard-room; and the dancing room was thrown open to the library and saloon.- Dancing was kept up till a late hour on Friday morning.
A most splendid supper was laid out in the dining room.
The stained glass window surrounding the dome of the saloon, was lighted from outside, and occasioned a very beautiful effect inside.
The decorations in the library and billiard-rooms, together with the paintings on the floors, were executed with much taste and judgement by Mr. Buchan, house decorator, of this town.

There have been large parties at Stoneham Park, every day for the last week. The Corporation of Southampton, the Corporation of Romsey, the tenancy, &c. have been entertained at dinner there, and experienced the highest gratification from the attention of their liberal host.
MASONRY.- On Tuesday the Brethren of the Royal Gloucester Lodge, No. 212, assembled at the Free Masons Hall, Bugle-street, and proceeded to instal a Master, and to invest the several officers for the ensuing year, which duty having been completed, they sat down to an excellent dinner, at which every delicacy the season could afford was provided; and that fraternal and social feeling alone experienced among masons, kept the brethren till a late hour.

On Christmas night a man named Sharp, whilst (as supposed) in a state of intoxication, walked over Southampton Quay; the accident was observed, and a boat almost instantly picked him up; but although the vital spark was recalled by the prompt measures resorted to by Mr. Judd, surgeon, of this town, yet they were inefficient to preserve the life of the sufferer, who expired next morning.
On Tuesday last W. Rider was taken before the magistrates, charged with stealing a quantity of meat and other viands from the larder of Mrs. Methuen. This Rider is one of a notorious gang of thieves with which this town has been for a time infested; and his present apprehension has arisen from a quarrel among the gang.

Three troops of the 17th Lancers marched into this city on Friday last; and three troops more, with the Staff, of the same regiment, marched in on the following day, commanded by Lord Bingham. The regiment is on its route from Exeter to Hounslow barracks. The troops under Lord Bingham proceed from hence to-day.
The Dorset Friendly Society has commenced operations. Most of the resolutions at the late meeting were proposed by Mr. Portman, to whose zeal and exertions in its behalf is chiefly to be attributed the formation of this most useful institution.

The Dorset county ball at the Assembly Rooms, Blandford, on Wednesday evening, the 20th inst, was attended by nearly 150 of the principal nobility and gentry of the county.

On Wednesday last the Lodge of Innocence and Morality met at the Swan Inn, Hindon, Wilts, to celebrate the ancient festival of Saint John the Evangelist, down to dinner at 4 o'clock. Brother James Anns presided. The dinner was excellent, and the wines of the first quality. Shortly after the removal of the cloth, a silver vase was placed on the table for the purpose of being presented to Brother James Anns. The workmanship of this vase is exquisite, it having been executed by one of the first artists in London. On one side was an appropriate inscription, and on the other various symbolical devices peculiar to the tenets of the fraternity of free and accepted masons. Brother Tucker, the Master of the Market Lavington Lodge, was requested to present it, to which he assented, and accompanied the presentation with the following address:
Brother Anns then addressed the Lodge as follows : "I am quite at a loss, my brethren, to express what I feel at the present moment for this generous and unmerited mark of your esteem; and I trust you will believe me when I say this festival will ever be remembered by me as the proudest day of my life. The years that I have, from your election, continued at the head of this lodge, I trust I have, to the best of my abilities, endeavoured to fulfil the important charge ; but however deficient I may have been in any of the duties, I am convinced that no brother can boast a heart more devoted to the good of the institution in general, and to the harmony and social order of this lodge in particular; and though I have not now the opportunity of attending to every minutia, yet I trust you will, my brethren, find me, as long as the great Disposer of events permits me to exist, zealous for all your concerns, and always ready to promote, as far as I am able, the general good of the craft."
The brethren enjoyed themselves with that sociality which is peculiar to the order, and closed the Lodge at eleven o'clock.

On the day after Christmas-day, the fifth distribution of the Penny Clothing Club was made at the Parsonage House, Wylye, which was set on foot by the desire and chiefly supported by the liberality of the Earl of Pembroke, and also by that of the Rev.

The mansion of Mr. Watson Taylor, at this season of the year, is a scene of unbounded hospitality and benevolence.

On Tuesday last Mr. Whitmarsh held an inquest at Fisherton on the body of an infant who died suddenly whilst in bed with its mother. Reports has gone abroad that the mother had neglected and ill-used the child so much that its death was occasioned thereby. It appeared that the mother was travelling from Plymouth with three children, and had taken lodgings at Mrs. Martin's for a week; and from the evidence given by Mrs. Martin, it did not appear that the child experienced any neglect or ill treatment during the mother's stay at her house. The Jurymen being perfectly satisfied that the infant died by the visitation of God, returned a verdict accordingly.

The numerous nightly depredations which have been lately committed in the neighbourhood of this city render it necessary that all property which is in the least exposed, should be vigilantly watched. On Saturday night the 23d ult a ewe sheep marked I.L. was stolen from a field barn occupied by Mr. Lush, at Burcombe, near Wilton, who has offered a reward of 20 guineas for the discovery of the offenders.
