The Fortunate Youth resides in the Rtie Pig-alle, at Paris, under an assumed name. His father lately re ceived a letter from him, in which he requests that he will take immediate possession of the Houghton estate, and see that the interests of the ttmuntry nre properly attended to, that the wants of the poor particatlarly shall he supplied. There is very little doubt that his mitid is not right, and that he suffers from mental deltnli:m.— His uncle, an oppulent man, is the principal sufferer by his conduct. From respect to his nephew, he proposed to make a gayer appearance than usnai. In consequence he ordered a new carriage and liveries, now no longer wanted ] but which have been recently sent to him by ' his tradesmen from town. .At the Court of Aldermen, Tuesday, a resolution was agreed te r , respecting beggars and vagrants infesting ele streets, enjoining the parish officers to' cause them to be apprehended and brought before the Lord Mayor ar sitting Aldermen, in order to their being passed to their parishes, or otherwise dealt with according to law. It is intended not only to reduce the remaining se cond battalions and colonial regiments, but in addition to them 10 regiments of the line, five of cavalry, in cluding the 24th and 25th regiments before ordered home from India, two battalions of artillery, and one of the engineers ; besides which there will be partial reductions in every regiment ut home, bath of men and officers. In the medical and ordnance departments ; also, there will be considerable reductions, as well as in the different staffit and depots, so as to make a total reduction of nearly 30,000 men. There will also be numerous reductions in the navy, particularly in the dock yards, and the civil departments connected with that branch of service, so that the estimates of thearmy and navy, whic:. last year exceeded fifteen millions and a half, will not, we apprehend, for the current year exceed ten. In addition to these, and the saving of interest by reducing the .5 per Cents. to fours, it is rumoured that the Chancellor of the Exchequer means to call in aid of the public service all the unclaimed lauds in the Courts of Chancery and Exchequer : and the public will perhaps be surprised to hear that they amount to woos millions. It will be r ocolleeted, that shortly previoer; to the death of her Royal Higlincss the l'riuceu; Chatlotts•, n negOcialiun was commenced with the Duke of Marl borough, with a view of taking his mansion in Pall Mall. The terms upon which tl e occupation was to take 'dace, it is said, were settled, and the agreement actually received the signature of the Duke. Since the death of her Royal Highness it is understood that Prince Leopold has abandoned his intention of ratify in the agreement, and the subject, we hear, is to un dergo a legal discussion. Tole KING V. WALLER O . GRADV:•DErILTN, JAN. A.—The Judges yesterday sat in the Court of Error li,r the purpose of pronouncing judgment in this impor tant case, as to the right of the Chief Baron of the Exchequer, to appe,iut a person to the office of Clerk of the Picas, vacant by the death of the Earl of Buckinor hamshire, or whether the right was Vested in the Crown. The Juigcs were ergaged in delivering their opinions, when, We are sorry to state, :he Chief Justice the king's-bench wai attacked with sudden, and, we fear, severe indisposition, which caused an adjourn t. c.it, wiihout their coming to a final 'decision on tkc ques . • V.rar:aw a•s are i:Armel, that the Polish troops :.itacrto 1113iiitallei. by the Russian treasury. are hence tor:h to. be paid :'.Tani herself.

The concerts at Derby (luting the past, week. were well attended: they were suppo:ted by the Duke of Vevonshire. After the performances, tliss - Stephoos, together with several other of the principal vocal per formers, went to Chatsworth-castle on a vi'it to the, nuble Duke. The new tragic play, taken from the poems of Lord Byron, is from the pen of Mr Dimond. The hero of the piece is to be personified by Mr. Kean. It is inter spersed with music. NONE SET THE BRAVE DESERVE THE FAIR..—.-For some time past M. Kingston and E. Peacock, -two coal porters, working at the wharf at the bottom of Wator lane, Fleet-street, have been paying their addresses to a young widow, the wife of a brother workman, de ceased. She paid attention to both, declaring she did not know which she liked best ; but she could have but o►►e, according to the laws of matrimony ; but, if they would tike a chance which should be the happy man between them, she would be agreeable. They accordingly agreed to fight, and a battle took place last week, on the Coal Wharf; when after a struggle of 13 rounds, in which were some good knock-down blows, victory was declared in favour of it!.
