A few years ago, a similar accident to that on Tues day at• Covent garden Theatre occulted at the Argyll *Rooms, by the explosion of gas. but not attended with the same calamitous consequences. Mr. Ttrou.%s Watan, the composer, was very much scorched by the igniting of the gas in an old gasometer there, and others were also injured, bt tno lives were lost. Gaso. meters shnuld never be erected in those places where the daylight could not always be introduced, so that the workmen need not have recourse to candle-light while tepairing them, or removing the residue of the gas -when it was deemed necessary.

On undressing. he found that there were double open ings in his dress, even unto the shirt, the sword having made a complete transit. It is nor always safe to be opposed to an veer. erne actor.

SHE NOTTINGHAMSHIRE CLERGY. 1 - DECLARAtION.'.. We, the undersigned Clergy of the county of Note tinghans, sensible of the - blessinks ue enjoy under the good and glorious Constitution r four country rn Church and State, and firmly attached to the P., otestant religion. of which that Constitution is the safeguard, resolve and pledge ourselves to uphold the same --by all the means which we can legally exert. Feeling impressed with the conviction that it is the design of the Roman Catholics to subvert the Established Church, and finally to sub stitute their own, we deem it expedient to publish a declaration of our sentiments. Anxious as we have been to ascertain the truth of what is asserted by the Roman Catholics, that a change has now taken place in their sentiments and feelings towards us in those points which justly excited appro. hesisions in the breasts of our forefathers, use lament. to find that neither in civil nor religious matters has any effectual change been manifested. But, on the contrary, that the same disposition on the part of the Romisli Church to impede the distribution of the Bible, and aw l diffusion of the Gospel light. exists at the presentmo- i anent with all the determination of former times. , We are desirous that the State should continue to tolerate, to the greatest extent compatible with its se curity, every description of Dissenter from our National Church, and to give its utmost protection to .411 such persons in the exerci,e of their religious worship ; and were we assured that the Roman Catholics, our fellow subjects, could give the same security with the Protes tants, of their allegiance to the Sovereign of these Realms, we should be alike desirous for them equally to participate in the same rights and privileges With' out selve h ; but it is our firm belief, grounded upohpast experizoce, that without such security they cannel' be'l admitted into places of mist and power, witly.ut en dangering the Constitution both in Church and State. We entertain serious apprehensions that the Roman Catholics, in their d:mand for what is tailed is Emaa-1 's cipation," are aimin,t, under the pretence r f political power, only at the exaltation • f their Church, and the suppression of our own. And when we contemplate the bold and illegal means resoited to for compassing this.l end—when we see the threldom eaercired over the Roman Catholics by their Pries•s—and how religion has been made an instrument i f a factious and trea— sonable tendency, we feel called upon to declare it the duty which we owe to our ceuntry, - to the-accred cause' of our religion, and to the spiritual we fate ef those cola' fided to our charge, to maintain and uphold, by our best endeavours, the Protestant Ascendancy.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Getuwar.L. Nov. to. LIBILL—TAYLOR V. LA SUN. Mr. Sergeant ANDIUWS stated the plair tiff's case The action, he said, was brought by 4 parish constable against the pricier of the limes newspaper, to recover compensation for the injury dare him by Vet, publics, tion of a police report of proaedinge that took place at Hatton-garden Police-office, in which .the plaintiff!' ' name was most unnecessarily and injuriously intro. duce) in. his absence. He did not mean to go into the general and most important question—the right of, in any case, puSlishing the pioceed.ngs of Police offices; - . but, if the accusation made against the plaintiff in Abe publication sr ete true, he would be so d.sgraced at to I. obliged to retire from society, and be ring dmed incapable of earning his daily bread. Whet* a man was so attacked, what course had he to pursue but to appeal to p Jury of his country, and ask them to tell him by,their verdict what recompense they would expect to receive for such an injury. The plaintiff was . a respectable man, and bad for many years bcen cons. stable and . hersdbortingh of Sr. Luke's, from which he went to reside in iii piiish of Islington; and, in con sequence of his gcioci character, became constable there. The libel of which he complained, charged him with having apprehended a man of the name of Walker, on a charge of bigamy. and that he attended, with other witnesses, at the Old Bailey, and tad, for the purpose of obstructing the course of justice, kept back the wit-- nesses ; in consequence, the pristine'. was acquitted. The fact was, the trial had been called on. and by one of those accidents which sometimes occurred in criminal Courts, the prisoner was acquitted, for want of any wit. nesse: to prosecute. A few days alter the trial, the pri• soner's wile, attended by the parish officers of St James. Clef kenwell, made an applicauon at the Hatton garden Police office, to obtain an order against the husband hrei the mail ten nee of his wife ; and on the neat day, the 13th of A pit, the grossly scandalous libel complained of appeared in the Time: newspaper, not, he admitted, as of the Paper's own suggestion, but as a report cf what had taken place at the Police office. The Learned Sergeant here detailed the particulars of the report, and observed that at least the introduction of the plaintiff's name must be admitted to be irrelevant. The defendant badk pleajal a jastification, and before he could entitle him, self to their verdict, he must prove the facts stated** the, publication to be true.
