EXTRACT OF A LETTER PROM RAVAIII.t. We have witnessed here a superb funeral of the Baron Hornstein, a Courtier; but the result is what induces me to mention it in my letter. Two days after, the workmen entered the Mausoleum, when they witnci:cd an object which petrified them At the door of the . sepulchre lay a body covered with blood--it was the mortal remains of this favourite Courts .c:d inces. The Baron was buried alive! rec.-.vcring float his trance he had forced the lid of the and endeavoured to escape from the ch iine'. house—it was imrosiible! and therefore, in a fit of chnper.ition,..as it is Apposed, he dashed his :.;rainL out valv,st the wall. The Royal Family, and indeed whole city, are plunged in grief at the horrid catastrophe."

On the first alarm a great cleiwd of people aseeehled, and the family servants, by their ext,..-.le,:s. succeeded in extinguishing the fire before the arrival of the engine from Ruth, yen Peiratield, which was sent on the first notice. We learn, with regret, that the dining and drawing rooms, to_ectlier with part of the library, have been destroyed; the books, however, were all removed be. fore the fire had communicated to the ceiling orthe room. I: has not been ascertained from what cause the Ere oriz i inateti. A bride, who was to have been merried a few days ago, in Blairemerie, suddenly changed her mind, and set off the day before that fixed for her wedding, I for Edinburgh. The bridegroom and guests, how. ever, went through the usual formalities observed on • such occasions ; and after sending a deputation for the bride, and a cart for the " Bitten;' spent the day with the utmost conviviality and good dicer. The elopement of the bride is not ascribed to indifference or a preferable penchant, but is said to have taken place at the instigation of her mother. Of course, hopes may he entertained that the bride may yet • make up matters with her betrothed. Mean time, Hey, play up the mom. br! , le Fcr she has to en the gee ! A selmt number of the Nobility had the honour of dining with the Part4cc REOENT and thz Duke of YORK, on New Year's Day. at the Royal Pavilion, Brightim. Oa this occasion, the new organ was opened, and the Prince's Band gave a delightful con , cert. ,, f instrumental muiie. The demised the beautiful Lady GRAN:, the wife of the gallant General, which took place a few days since, may be narrated among the urlooked-for mis fortunes of this life. A short time since, the Coun tess MUNSTER was suddenly brought to bed, at an Inn in Canterbury, of twins. Whilst in this situa tion, the Countess caught the measles, and comm. ` nicated them to the two children, who both died Un der the effects of that dreadful disease. Shortly after arrived at the same Hotel General Gitairr and his' Lady : they slept in the bed previnnsly.occupied by the Countess Mussran, for one night, and then came to town. Lady GRANT was taken in labour, on her arrival at her own residence, when the measles broke out, and terminated her valuable life. Hyde Park was nn Sunday full of carriage com pany, and the North side of the River was the fa shionable drive; notwithstanding the keenness of the air, many of the ekgantes condescended to become humble pedestrians. The day was delightful, the sky being clear, and the sun shining with the utmost splendour. On the ice were a few :good skaters, but they confined their evolution' to the vicinity of the Wilderness, near the wall of Kensington Gardens. Two men belonging to the Royal Human e S sciet y attended with ladlers and ropes: they called off all these who had the fully to approach those parts where the ice was thinnest. About' three O'clock, two of the most adventurous skaters fell into the water, but they speedily extricated themselves without assist ance. Furs arc becomi; great regliest amcing ti.:. Ladies.

EXECUTION AT EDINBURGH. FURTHER: PARTICULARS. In the shameful occurrences which took place durirg the execulion on Wednesday, no appearance cf a pre concerted riot was visible; the outrage merely ap peared to arise from the unfortunate circumstanct3 connected with the execution. Johnston always acknowledged the justice of his sentence; and his familiarity with such crimes as that for which he staffed was notorious. He was perfectly resigned, and felt no terror whatever to meet Isis fate: he said 'L.'s mind was made up, and it would•soon be over. This feeling he continued to manliest at the moment of carrying the sentence into execution, and he ascended the scaffold with calmness and a firm step. Previous to his le.ori:.g the jail, and on rearising the scaffold, a great deal of his attention was directed to a silk han.tkerchirf that he wore about his neck, and which had been the gift of a girl with whom he et:thanked. He mar.,- feted a kind of reluctance to have it removed to allow the rope to he adjusted, and when that V 4 :1F ac complished, he anxiously secured the handkerchief about his person. . At the time the volley of stones were thrown at tie platform, the'carPenters who were in attendance were employed in i•tst.ting.e.n.epening in it, and were obliged, along with,the UN , istrates, &c. to Ay for safety.— The shoot is • the neighbourhood were closed on tr:e first irtspokitiOntp,rint4.and many of them were net re-Openeti that night. We have not heard Clint 21.1 liertons were seriously injured, but many inconske rate women, with claidlea in their arms, wel'e thro-a down - and trampled upon. It is very e: rooeously itari gineci by many th,,t the sentence of execution could not have been carried into effect after four o'clock. The last remarkable execution, in which au y disturb ance took place in this city, was that of Sea joant-Mais .r John Young . , of the 4th Foot, convicted of Torg., , :;. This unhappy man took it into his head, that tf i.e could protract the execution till after four o'clock ; '.e would be free. Accordinjly, when the .. I:l7istr:-.Es came to the prison to demand him, he barrirn:r.:d the door of his - tooni is vich a manner that r.:. • trance cold be obtained. The Magisaaies, - ever, sr:.r,: de7ermined to do their duty. They or!e: the floor of the room above to be lifted, so as to ::e -mit a man. Eix of the most resolute of the City Guard drened down upon Young. The first was knocked down, Wit the criminal was secured 1, , y the others, carried to the Grassmaricet, and was there at SN o'clock at night. This took place cm :he ISth of December, 1745. A reward of fifty guineas has been offend for the discovery of the person who cut clown the bo.ly of Johnston. We understand that the Magistrates, on Thursday morning, dismissed John Simpson, the Executioner, qom Isis office. The En7,lish Government has caused to be remit ted to the Count de LATOUR, Commissary-Gen( rrl of, Police at Cambray, two thousand four hitnsired francs, to be distributed to three peasants of St. Amami (North). whose habitations had been burned by an' Engliih deserter, and for which this public functionary had solicited the interest of his Grace the Duke of A - ELLINGTON. This indemnificatioa has been 'made in concert with the Mayor of Canil , rav, . Sir JOHN and Lady SaILLEY, on New Year's 1)4, gave an excellent dinner of beef and plum pudding to one hunired and fifty of the children cf Nlaresfit. id Sc.licol, at their seat of Maresfield-park, tissex, and afterwards clothes and Bibles. To the labotirers of the parish who did nut receive parn(L: r'relief,' premiums of one and two guineas were F: by the Worthy Baronet and his Lady, for the bt.'.t cultivated gardens, the neatest tottages, &c. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—The new Play of Flod den Field was again performed last night to an ele gant audienie, and frequently honoured with vi;.e most universal satisfaction. To this succeeded the Farce of the Prisoner at Large, which was excee,i ingly well received. MUNDEN'S Old Dotodle nished a rich display of humour, which powerfully excited the risibility 9f the audience. KNIGHT dis play( d all his customary vivacity in Mims, with the happiest effect ; and the entertainment was heightened by the presence of Roseau., formerly of this Theatre, but latterly of the Hayinarket, in Jack Connor. lle met with A flattering reception ; and his efforts, com bined, with these of :the performers already named, 'and those of Mrs. Owen, Mr. Iluouas, and 'Mrs. Ititafssos, timed the business of the evening with L ipprOptillte Spit it. 1 ) . i I 1 • 0 , I . v i - / 1 ~...,it t. ii . 11 i 1 ) .: 1 f t t . , , it . 1 -• 1 , glj ' .. ii S 1 .)' • ~ $ : i .
