THE following is the Annual Report of the Christenings and Burials in the Metropolis, from December 12, 1809, to December 11, 1810: Christened in the 97 parishes within the Walls, 1,004.-Buried, 1,388. Christened in the 17 parishes without the Walls, 4,258.-Buried, 4,129. Christened in the 23 out-parishes in Middlesex and Surrey, 10,503.-Buried, 9,535. Christened in the 10 parishes in the City and Liberties of Westminster, 4,165.-Buried, 4,841. Christened, males, 10,181; females, 9,742; Whereof have died, under two years of In the night of Saturday, December 22, St. Paul's cathedral was robbed of the church services of plate, consisting of a large waiter, of singular workmanship, weighing 128 oz.; the back of a large bible and prayer-book, (silver,) 200 oz.; two silver salvers, nearly 200 oz.; other waiters, and two large silver candlesticks, 330 oz. ; two other candlesticks, 200 oz.; four flaggons, 400 oz. ; two chalices, &c. 112 oz.; two smaller, 30 oz.; in the whole 1760 ounces. These articles, or most of them, were used the preceding day, at a private ordination, at which the Bishop of Lincoln presided; and afterwards locked up in the plate-room immediately over the vestry, in iron chests for the purpose, which had on them padlocks as well as others. There were two doors to the room, an inner and an outer one: the former was entirely iron, and the other plated, and made as strong as possible. To these principal doors there are se veral passages, all of which have doors, always locked, through which persons must pass before they can reach the plate.rooms, and it is only known to few to what apart ments they lead. All these doors remained locked, and it was not until Sunday morning that the plate was wanted for the church service, that the robbery was discovered. The person who had the plate under his care, opened the passage-doors with the keys belonging to them, as usual; but the lock of the main door he could not open until he had procured the master-key. He then found the chest, containing the plate, had been broken open with an iron crow, or some such instru ment, after having opened the padlocks in the usual way. An attempt to steal the plate from this cathedral was made twenty-seven years since. The robbers then got as far as a closet where the keys were kept; but whether they were prevented from proceeding by being alarmed, or by their light going out, was never ascertained. On Thursday, December 27, Mr. Milton, a horse-dealer, performed the extraordinary equestrian trial, (upon which he had backed himself in a wager of 3001. against 5001.) of riding 86 miles in five hours. He started from the end of Dover-street, Piccadilly, at two minutes past eight in the morning, and rode the required distance in three quarters of an hour less than the given time, arriving at Stamford at 17 minutes past twelve at noon. The person who has performed this amazing journey, weighs not less than 14 stone. He used ten horses; but, in consequence of an error in the arrangement of the relays, was obliged to ride one of them 15 miles; and another knocked up before he had gone four miles. These circumstances considered, this feat may be set down as one of the most wonderful in the annals of horsemanship. Mr. Milton appeared very little fatigued when he arrived at the George and Angel inn at Stamford; and, on alighting, went to bed for a few hours. He set off again for London in the evening, in a post-chaise. Stamford, by the usual route, is 90 miles from London; but Mr. Milton took the lower road, by Ware, Arrington, and Huntingdon; which reduces the distance to about 86 miles. Before he set out to accomplish this arduous task, he offered a friend, who expressed some doubts of his success, to bet 1000 guineas to 500, that he would in the five hours go ten miles farther than the stipulated distance, which it is proved he could easily have done. The late King of Sweden has arrived in London under the title of Comte de Gottorp, and lives in great retirement at present. A minister plenipotentiary has arrived from the Dey of Algiers; he is a well-looking sage, seventy years of age, with a long white beard, and reputed to possess abilities. He brought with him a numerous retinue, rich presents, and a menagerie of lions, tigers, ostriches, &c. &c. with some capital Arabian horses. MARRIED.

Coke, esq. of Holkham, Norfolk, M.P. for that county, and of Edward Coke, esq. M.P. for Derby. In Portland-road, Sir Francis Bourgeois, R.A. a landscape and historical painter of great eminence. De Loutherbourgh was evidently the master whom it was his ambition to imitate. Some of the productions of his pencil will do credit to his memory; but the ma jority of them will remain as a land-mark to junior artists to avoid a glare of colour, and attempts to produce effect at the expense of truth and nature. In Somerset-place, Mr. Richards, many years a member of the Royal Academy, and secretary to that institution, 80. He chiefly distinguished himself as a painter of theatrical scenery, and in that province of art displayed considerable merit. He held the leading place in that department at Covent-Garden Theatre for many years. Mr. Richards had been for some time incapable of attending to business, and Mr. Howard, an artist of well-known 78 Deaths in and near London. merit, who is to succeed him as secretary to the academy, had been joined with him in the office, for the purpose of discharging its duties. In Westbourne place, Sloane-square, Mr. William Thomas Lewis, a theatrical performer of considerable eninence, 65. He enjoyed the smiles of a Lordon audience for 36 years, during the whole of which long period, he never for a moment departed from his duty; the proudest aim of his life was to merit approbation. He would frequently remain by himself for a whole day together endeavouring to throw some new light beauties into his different characters, His favourite parts were Belcour, Ranger, Benedict, Mercutio, and the Copper Captain, in which last he took a final leave of his generous friends and admiHe then rers about eighteen months ago. assured the audience that it would be gratifying in his seclusion, to reflect, that during the long period he had been in their service, he had never once incurred their displeasure. To his family he was most affectionate; often denying himself the enjoyment of the fruits of his labours, in order that he might make them independent of the world. He has left two daughters and three sons, one of whom is a lieutenant-colonel in the East-India ser vice, and the youngest, who was residing in the house, caught the dying breath of his respected father. Mrs. Lewis has the consolation to reflect that these, her only remaining joy, are amply provided for. At Cheltenham, aged 37, James Maxwell, esq. of Orange Grove, in the island of Tobago, who had a few months ago returned to this country on account of ill health. His honourable and upright principles as a man of business, his pleasing and social qualities as a companion and friend, had long secured him the respect and esteem of a most numerous and respectable circle of acquaintance, who have to lament his early loss. Mr. Maxwell was of the family of Monreith, in Scotland, and first cousin to her Grace the Duchess of Gordon; and, what is rather an uncommon circumstance, was one of nine brothers, the whole of whom, except himself, have been bred up in the service of their country; in which service, a few years ago, he had the misfortune to lose two of his beloved brothers, both captains in the army, of considerable reputation. Mr. Maxwell leaves behind him six brothers, three of whom are post-captains in the navy, who have eminently distinguished themselves in the service of their king and country on several occasions; two are captains of artillery, and one is in the service of the honourable East India company. Mrs. Anna Harral, wife of Mr. Harral, of Park-street, Islington, fourth daughter of the late William Empson, of Isleworth, Middlesex, esq. and sister of the late John Masters Empson, esq. surgeon of bis Majesty's ship Castor, aged 30.
