CHARITY. -...,g0 n.... Ob ! Cumitrr, meek Daughter of the Skies! Thou loveliest of the lovely Sisters three, (Sweet members of Heaven's holy family) That, with Religion, walk in Seraph guise-- Thou hut not Faith's fixed eye, nor yet the smile, The rainbow-smile of Hope, dispelling gioom ; But, oh ! Heaven's mildest radiance doth dome Thy face with beaming love, that can beguile The sigh from wasting sorrow ; and thy voice, Like soothing harmony, doth gently raise Despondence from his couch, and bids rejoice Den blank Despair, and, whispering sweet, allays The frantic turbulence of woe !—Fair Saint ! In thee burns clear and bright the holy flame Of pure benevolence ; the voice of Fame Thou lov'st not; but to Misery's feeble plaint Thy heart is ever open, and thy band Brings instant succour !—Gentle spirit, blest ! No thought of evil harbours in thy breast , In thy pur e presence, Slander dumb doth stand, And Malice melts to love. Thou mcrest the heart, Long dead to pity's kindly throb; in the eye That knows not bovito weep in sympathy, Thou tell'st the tear, the friendly tear, to start; And, oh ! benign Instructress, by thee taught, Man feels to man that love which brothers ought! iCHE LETTERS PRODUCED IN EVIDENCE BY THE PLAINTIFFS COUNSEL IN THE CASE OF FOOTE v. HAYNE. (Continued from lie STAR of yesterday.) XXIII.—MR. HAYNE TO MISS FOOTE. (Postmark, July 17.) Ere I proceed, I must apologize for troubling you with another letter; I beg to assure you, I. consider Col. Berkeley has caused me no trouble on your account, and regret that on mine you should suppose the termination of this business will add to your grievances. I feel hurt you find it requisite to point out the necessity of my bearing in mind those pure sentiments towards you with which I first addressed you. Believe me, I ever have. You state it is your intention of returning to the stage when the arrangements with Col. Berkeley are fmally concluded (which, by the bye, I trust will be to your most sanguine expectation). May you then enjoy peace and happiness, is the sincere wish of your's, truly, J. HAYNE. I have amnged so as to leave Burderop to-morrow, and at all times shall be happy to hear from you, should you feel inclined to write. Nly letters will be forwarded from hence to me. Friday, (16th Ju1y,1824). No. XX IV.—MISS FOOTE TO MR. HAIN& Saturday, 17th July, 1824. I am sure it is not your wish to grieve me, but your letter to-day has caused me the greatest uiwasiuess. It is evident you have mis construed my letter of Thursday last. I never doubted the purity of your sentiments towards me, I was only anxious to prove myself worthy of them by my own conduct. The confidential correspond ence I have held with you, niest at once convince you of this. In all I do, and iu all I say, I am most unfortunate ; fur in expressing feelings which I considered might have been acceptable to you, I have the mortification to find they are ill received. I have made no arrangements, nor have I determined to return to the stage when the business is concluded with Colonel Berkeley, which will be on Monday next. lam totally at a loss to say what I ant going to do. lam thrown upon the world without any prospect what ever to guide me. I see by your letter that you are offended with me, and I feel so perfectly unconscious of intentionally breathing a sentiment to cause your displeasure, that I am hurt more than I can express. What can I have written in that fatal letter which you could have so misconstrued, and from which you appear to have drawn such strange conclusions? To relieve my ntiud, 1 intreat you to be explicit, and say how I can remove from your's the impression which my last letter appears to have made on you. Did you know my heart, you would not for a moment suppose I could itnend to write or do anything that would grieve or annoy you. The !noir 1 rcflect the more lam convinci,:l that you have mistaken my letter. If I said that I was fearful my happiness :night suffer front a remembrance of your kindness, you could not surely imagine that I feared I should hereafter rcgret the termina tion of my engagement with Colonel B. I meant to convey to you, that as you and I were to be eternally separated, I should have the more to regret in your loss, when k reflected on your great kindness for me, and which would naturally every day strengthen my feelings of regard towards you. lam sure, if .1 could see you, I could at once satisfy your mind on the points I have alluded to, and believe me, however ambiguously I may have expressed my self in writing, the feelings of my heart towards you are all that you could wish. Pray write immediately; but do net let me again see the word "apologise" in the first line of your letter, nor sealed, AO formally as your last. You have taught me to note this dr cumstance by a remark you lately made on the subject. On Mon day the final arrangement is to be made with Colonel B. and I then hope to be relieved from his persecution!. I have much that I wish to communicate to you on the subject ; but your letter to day has so grieved me, that my reply to it must be the first object of my consideration. I fear, as you have left Burderop, that there will be some delay in my receiving an answer, and, till I do, I shall be unhappy, as I cannot bear the idea of having said any • thing to annoy you, or in any way wound the feelings of one for whom I have the greatest possible regard and ailesitton &c. &c. IMARI A. No. XXXIV.—MR. lIAYNE TO MISS FOOTE. MT REALIST MARIA-4 shall start to-morrow morning for Bath. I have no inclination to remain fur the Races; in a word, I am quite triste without you, and should not, as 1 trust you feel con vinced, have separated myself from you at this period bad there nut been a necessity of skewing myself amongst the country Gentry at the Races held at my own place. Your gaud sense and usual kind ness will make every allowance for it. I feel assured it is needless hereto repeat my protestations of affection for you. Suffice it to say you will ever find use most sincerely and devotedly your's, J. HAYNE. My regards to Mrs. Foote. I shall be with you to-murrow by four o'clock.—Ferewell. On the day of the intended marriage, Miss Foote, after waiting for Mr. Hayne till three o'clock, wrote him a note, of which the following is a copy: No. XXXVIII. - Monday, Sept. 6, 1824, Three o'Clock. MT DEA RErt Ilarnx—l have been expecting you ever since nine o'clock this morning, the hour that you last night appointed. to meet Mr. Gill here. I ant very uneasy at your absence, and I beg that you will tither come, or write immediately, to explain the cause, as I am in the most dreadful state of suspense. The inclosed letter has been sent to Long's, and to liryanstune-square, at both of which places you were denied.—Believe me, my dearest I Jayne, Ever your's, most affectionately, MARIA. No. XX XIX.—MISS FOOTE TO MR. lIAYNE. Saturday, 11th Sept. 1924. MY DEA REsT Have—Fur six long days and sleepless nights have I been hourly in•the - expectation that you would redeem that pre mise which your sacred word of honour is pledged to perform. I cannot resie: any . loager the desire I have entertained throughout this eventful week, to make you acquainted with the feelings that have agitated me, Your extraordinary conduct in leaving me in the manner you have has thrown me into a state of distress that may be conceived. I will tee attempt to express it—but I have still such faith in you that I canuot— I will not,. for a moment, sup pose it is your own act ; and although you are at present separated from me, I cannot believe but that your heart and thoughts are still with me. If I have come to a right conclusion, let me conjure you to resist, with becoming pride, the idea that Mr. Hayne is not capable of judging for himself; an al in your cool moments lam per suaded good sense will whisper to you ilea selfish motives, and those alone, have influenced the honourable advisers by whom you are beset. Gracious Gun! can my dearest Ilayne be content to allow such persons, to use coercion to restrain him from following the dictates of his own heart ! Be upon your guard; for he as sured such persons, with suds interested views to actuate them, will not hesitate to have your restraint of such a character, that your own good sense or friends interference may be too late to save you from. Remember, my dearest novae, it was it your desire that our intended nuptials were announced in all the News papers to take place on Monday last. Think of this—and at the sante time conceive, if you can, what a wound my feelings have expe rienced, and how little I ve deserved it. if you are the man of himoar I believed you to be, you will not lose another moment in fulfilling your engagement. Your last words when we parted on r _, ' ,‘ 411 ' }.~: C.C.C. " % ~-L Sunday night, lam persuaded you do not forget. I shall reme m ber them to the latest period of my life. You said—" May Gov strike me dead, if ever I consent to separate myself from you." You also desired me not to frceive any communication whatever, but from yourself. I shall strictly attend to that request. I wait with an anxiety, not easily expressed, for a letter from you. not disappoint me on Monday.—Farewell, my dearest 'Jayne, and believe in the affection of your faithfully attached, MARIA. No. 3CL.—MR. BAYNE TO MISS FOOTE. (Pont Mark, Sept. is), Ihirderop, Sunday Morning. Mr mummy Masts—You are perfectly correct in supposing that my heart and thoughts are still with you; it is impossible, however I may be censured, that I can divest myself of the feel ings of affection which I have front the earliest period of our ac quaintance borne towards you, and believe me still sincere when I assure you, that " My own inclination will never allow me to be separated from you ;" but the world, my dearest Maria, is of dif &nit extreme to manage; and however we may be flattered that we can divest ourselves of opinion, yet reflection and example every day prove the fallaciousness of such idea. Why was it that our ' unlucky stars threw us in the way of each other but to make us mi serable? for so I am, and much do I struggle with opinions, not my own, half convinced that prejudice ought not to influence love and esteem. Judge by your own feelings; which I trace in every line of your kind letter, what mine arc—resolved at one moment to sacrifice friends to affection, yet not daring to risk the chance of unhappiness by doing an act which both of us may hereafter re pent. To that fatal confession of Colonel Berkeley's, until now, I knew not half my acquaintance ; but to judge by the letters, anony mous and otherwise, which I daily receive, it would be supposed I ant of consequence to the State. My bonour is yet in your hands; ' do you not, with your good sense, perceive the dilemma we are in ? I cannot—will not lose you, but wait the mediation and advice of some good spirit to determine for both of us. Adieu, most affectionately and devotedly your's, J. IIAYNE- No. XLVIL—FROM MR. HAY NE TO MISS FOOTE. Daum MARIA—I am sorry you consider my last letters so un satisfactory, and regret still mine I cannot better explain myself; this much I can say, owing to the various reports in circclauon at Cheltenham, renders my presence there absolutely necessary. Your's, &c. &c. J. 11.1 Y Upper Grosvenor-street, Sept. 25, 1824. Your note would not have remained so long unanswered, bad not been detained, owing to the badness of thi: roads. No. XLVIIL—FROM MISS FOOTE TO MR. lIAYNE. Thursday, 25ti Sept. 1824, half-past four o'clock. DIARCIT Ilavtic—l am not surprised at there being various reports at Cheltenham, or anywhere else, your late extraordinary conduct to me having given sufficient grounds for them ; but I can only say, I am perfectly in the dark as to the nature of those reports, and I should like very much to be relieved from the state of sus pense and uncertainty in which lam involved. Your's, &c. &c. MARIA. Do you wish to see me on this subject ? Oa Monday morning, the 27th September, the se cond appointed day tor the marriage, instead of Mr. Ilayne, a Mr. Manning called at Miss Foote's house, with a letter from :Ur. Layne to Miss Foote, breaking off the match, of which the following is a copy : No. LI. DEAR. rOOTE--.I have been so truly wretched last night from a variety of contending feelings, that I feel perfectly unequal to the task of seeing you personally on the subject which my friend Mr. Manning is authorised by me to break to you. The tide of family influence, strengthened by many unhappy circumstances, is so strong against my porsuing further our late treaty, that I aut coni pelletl,.mc,st painfully, though reluctantly, to relinquish it. Grosvenor-street, Your', very truly, Monday morning, Sept. 27. J. lIAYNE. Alter having received, as she thought, a final letter from Mr. Hayne, Miss Foote, the same evening, re ceived the following epistle : No. LII. Wednesday night, 29th &pt. is:N.—Ten o'Ciock. Mr DEARCST MARIA—We know each other well, With all my hubs, you have ever respected my honour. I entreat of you to grant me an interview to-morrow morning anywhere but in Keppet street. My love for you is unabated, and my great anxiety is to convince you of the sincerity of Your's most affectionately and most sincerity, Piazza Coffee-house, Covent-garden. J. BAYNE. No. LIV.—MISS FOOTE'S ANSWER. Thursday Morning, 30th Sept. 1824. Your conduct is as inconsistent as it is cruel and unjust. Gooch Goo, is this your mode of proving your professed love and regard? Was it not enough to fix one day for our noptiala, and then leave me in the dreadful uncertainty and suspense I had to endure through the whole of that day ? rut no—you ask forgiveness—you plead that you were not a flee agent, and you are again admitted. Your first thought was to repair (as far as you could) this injury— you then procure a license, and for another day—you propose Mon ! day to sign the necessary papers, and then, to my horror and your shame be it spoken, you make another excuse as frivolous as the former, and conclude by saying you are unalterably determined to sacrifice me, and with it your honour and good name. After this, is it to be endured, that you could seek an interview with me on any terms until this last sad act was repaired ; and yet, to my hor ror, suifering with . p tinful illness brought 0:1 by your cruelty, and confined to my bed, you have the bad taste (1 u.e a very mild term) to ask an interview away from my family end blends! Aly first impulse led me nut to reply to such a letter; but willing to believe (however improbable) that such conduct had nut proceeded fi om the natural impulse of your own heart, but was directed by the bad advis . ers that surrounded you, I say I will once more consent to see ycu, but it will be in the Nonce of my family. I hope I shall sufficiently composed to make that convenient on Saturday. Your afflicted This letter produced the following from Mr. liAyne: Nu. LV. Thur:Jay.:Vith Sent• 189.4. Although my past and present conduct may merit your censure, yet it cannot your cruel, ungenerous, and unitild letter. Thrice have I perused it, and deplore to mce such a , vele:ate batted in every line. 1 may have acted inconsistently. but never have I in jured you, which your cool reflections hereafter wilt convince you of. Farewell! fur ever, Farewell! Thursday morning. J. 11.1YNE. A Morning Paper recently gave a. list of the Catholic mercantile wealth of the City of lln1)1r., amounting to 'nearly five millions sterling. The Dutill Correspwleat of Saturday states, that it is a most exag4erated state ment, adding, "If such wealth really abouni in the body, all we wi.!) to say is, that it is a crling shame and injustice to draw from the miserable pittance of the wretched peasantry that fund, in the shape of [tent, which is to effect the Emancipation project, while the contributions of such rich individuals is limited to a guinea each." The Monarch of the triple Crown, says the Belfast Chronicle, has lately issued an Edict, of which the fol lowing is an extract : 44 In order the better to spread the light of the Gospel among the Israelites, the mea sures taken during the time of Pope CLEMENT VIII. to compel Jews to attend Catholic sermons, and which only was interrupted by the recent political events to which Italy has been a prey, ate re-established from the date of Ist March last." The Edict afterwards orders " three hundred Jews to attend sermon every Saturday evening, and that according to their thin, there shall be amongst them 100 individuals, aged from twelve to! thirteen years, and fifty girls and women of the same age. Each time that a Jew misses sermon when it is his turn to attend, he shall pay a fine of five paoli ; no excuse will be admittid ; if the. oldest Jew do not de nounce the defaulters, they shall be fined thirty scudi. The Christians who insult the Jews when they are at Church, shall be birched, or incur other pains, accord ing as the circumstances are more or less grave." It is remarkable, that the disaster which has happened at St. Petersburgh, occurred on the 9th of November, the anniver saryof the death of the Great CATIZAUTS I is 1796. I . • ~m . _._ sai iikiiiir POLICE INTELLIGENCE, BO W-ST BEET. Yesterday, William rmtpalrick, a young man of respectable ap:, pearance, was brought up in the custody of Wooton, a cnpductbr of patrol, charged with robbing his employer, Mr. Macbe l ath, a , jeweller, carrying on business at No. 11, Ryder's-court, Leicester square, of jewellery, to the amount of A l / 4 2b0 ; and James Willshsr, a rmaster working-jeweller, was charged on suspicion of receiving 'part of the property, knowing it to have been stolen.—The pri. sopers were remanded for further examination. M A RY-LA-40 N NE. Mr. RAWLINSON, the Magistrate at this office, has been engaged this last fortnight in a very important investigation. The investi gation was caused by the apprehension of a man of business-like appearance, named William Gregory, but whose manner, although prepossessing, possesses not the polish or refinement of education. The history of the ease appears to be as follows, as collected from a host of witnesses, of almost every trade in L ondon : The prisoner, dressed as a Gentleman, and in a very dashing tilbury, called at the house,: of various tradesmen, and ordered goods to be sent to his house, and the residence of a Lady named Saunders, in Craven-hill, Bayswater. This Lady, according to the evidence of Mr. Winsell, of Howland-street, harp-maker; 11r. Errand, of Berner, street, harp and piano-forte-maker; Mr. Dulau, in the same business; Mr. Rutting and Mr. Delveau, and a number of other highly-respectable and eminent tradesmen, called on them, and making representations that she was connected with some West India families of distinction, and that she had imm e nse riches in that country, succeeded in obtaining harps, piano -fortes, up holstery, &c. &c. on bills drawn at nine and six months, on houses in the City, and she gave references to persons at various parts of the town, who spoke highly of her fortune. But those persons, as well as the " houses of business" in the City, had vanished ere the bills became due, and the tradesmen were thus completely duped. The prisoner was, it was proved, at all times her managing and active agent on those occasions arid he, by a system the most ingenious, succeeded in furnishing the luxu ries of life, the most fashionable wearing apparel, furniture, and linen, for himself and her. In the same manlier he removed from house to house, and evaded paying rent. lie was taken into cus tody by a tradesman in the Borough, and examined at Union Hall, and from thence iorwarded to Bow-street, front whence, at the in stance of Mr. Green, of Oxford-street, he was brought to this office, and yesterday underwent a long examination ; and among • those who, in addition to what we have already stated, made charges against hint, were, a butcher, a fruiterer, a publican, a tai lor. a shoemaker, a livery-stable keeper, for the hire of a cabriolet, a dashing gig, and tilbury, a coal-merchant, a musician, for a violin and some lessons oa the instrument, and a Gentleman, a Captain in the Army, for the rent of his cottage at Hampstead. Mr. Harmer's clerk attended, and suhmitted, that the prisoner Iced not been guilty of any talse pretence which could be sustained by evict: lice, the whole of the charges, which he admitted as vo. lumitom 1, amounting to mere matters of debt. Mr. IZAwi ',isms said, there was more than that in the bnsiness, and therefine he remanded the prisgner again ; whom he wished to understand, even supposing for a moment he would then be dis charged, it must be under very heavy mngnizances, to answer sonic of the charges, which, in his opinion, were provable frauds. DI AR 1,1;01tOUG 11-STREET. Yesterday morning, three well-dressed persons, who had given their names as Sir Charles Campbell, Bart, the Hon. Mr. Beamish, and Mr. J;fnees Cow, were placed at the bar on a charge of being drunk and disorderly the preceding night in the Harms het. A watchman stated, that about eleven - o'clock the night before, he saw Sir Charles Campbell and the lion. Mr. Bearaish come out of the Waterloo Billiard rooms, in the Haymarket. The former immediately commenced a quarrel with Mr. Crow, who was in the , street, and they gave charge of each other ; and be, seeing that all three were di unk, took them to the watch house. The prisoners, being questioned by the Magistrates, the two firm acknowledged that they had assumed their titles for that night only. Sir Charles Campbell, Bar:. was plain Michael Alexander Jagger;, of Humphreys's Riding School, Waterloo-road. The Honourable Mr. Beamish, was James Reamish, clerk to Deputy Commissary O'Meara. The watchman having proved that they were all drunk, they were fined five shillings each, which James Crow immediately paid, and was discharged; but the titled Gentlemen, not being in cash, were I-rm.:titled. Price MA VROCORDATO is said to have written a letter to a Gentleman in Colin, to which is the following postscript :—" A great blow is preparing against the troops of DERVISH PACHA indeed, we consider Thes saly as lost to the Turks, and doubt not it will form part of the Greek Republic before the end of the year." TIIE KING GINI THE PROSECUTION OF JOHN LAURENS BICKNELL V. HAMMOND, E.%l.—Tuesday F. G.

Tuesday nigl , t, a meeting was held at the Grove-house, Camberwell, for the purpose of establishing a new Surrey Institution, for literary and scientific purposes, in the neighbourhood of Camberwell, Kennington, and %Val worth. Mr. Sheriff KEY was prevented by indispo sition from taking the chair. In his absence, Mr. FAVELL preshied, and the establishment of the Institu tion was agreed upon, after some appropriate observa tions from Dr. BIRKSECK, Mr. FAN -ELL, the Rev. Mr. ORME, and some other Gentlemen who reside in the neighbourhood. During the high wind on Monday last, a stack of chinstries in the house of Mr. Bishop, at Fordwich, was blown down on the roof of a wash-house, in which were Mrs. B. two washing-women, and the servant girl, who were all buried in the ruins ; some time was spent in extricating them, when it was found that Mrs. B. WAS very seriuttsly injured, and the other three more or less severely bruised. Wednesday se'nnight,. about twelve o'clock, a fire broke out in the dwelling-house of Mr. Burn, a baker,' in Union-street, Maidstone. Burn, his wife, and two children, made their escape from the bed-room window ii:to the street. The engines arrived with alacrity on the spot, and having a plentiful supply of water, the fire was soon extinguished. A melancholy occurrence took place about a fort night ago, which has plunged a numerous family into the greatest distress. As the servant of Mr. WILLMOTT, of Lewisham, was driving the tw_o elder boys to school, to Bromley, near Bow, a drunken fellow came out of one of the public-houses, in Vklitechapel, and in cross ing the st:eet, fell down before the horse, and the wheel of the chaise went over him. The servant immediately took the man to a surgeon, where it was ascertained he was not materially hurt ; whilst, however, they were at the surgeon's, a crowd of butchers, &c. collected about the chaise, and told the boys the man was dead, and the groom would be hung, which so affected the youngest, who was only eleven years of age, that he became alarmed, fell back in the chaise, and did not speak again till he got to school, when he became gra dually worse, till the Monday following, when he was taken home to Lewisham; the fright, however, had taken such deep possession of the system, that inflam mation of the bowels, and other alarming symptoms came on, and all medicine proved ineffectual : he lin gered till Friday morning, when he expired at four o'clock, perfectly resigned. Thus, by one indiscreet act, has a family been deprived of a most valuable member ; for a more promising boy did not exist. • - - .~ An, AN& • WHITEBOY OUTRAOR.S.—Tuesday night, four out; Ages were burned on the lands of 1341finvolOg, in tl-, - South . Liberties of Cork; on the new Kinsale tbr i e . and not more than three miles from town. Up to ti: t first of this month, the farm on which these house s stood had-been held by a man named Cornelius Brya n , and his son. These men owed their landlord a lar ze debt, (upwards of 2001) which was compounded by his taking from them a quantity of corn, value about sot and allowing them to carry away froM the lands (wh el a surrender was accepted on the Ist inst.) three horse,. five cows, several heifers, thirty-one sheep, three hogi; stacks of oats, and a quantity of hay. On Sunday 1 ; ,, t a notice was posted on one of the doorc, t!ileateuitl death and damnation" to any one who should tik, Tt !,,: lands; and on Tuesday night the houses, as me stated, were set on fire. The buildings consumed t1e•~ a range, consisting of a barn, a milk-house, a stab: , : and a potatne-house. The whole of the office; and titer. the dwelling-house would have been consumed hut fo t the exertions of some individuals who reside near ;Le spot.

The sage Dr. Johnson was once displeased with his friend, Sir Joshua Reynolds, for painting him h Win g a book near his eyes—or rather eye, for the greAt cographer was unaculous, and near-sighted to boot. Mrs. Thrale rallied her illustrious friend, on his complaining of the composition of this picture, and said, " Why, Sir Joshua has consented to have his picture taken whit his ear trumpet in his hand." "He may be painted by another, or paint himself as deaf as he pleases," seplted the Doctor, "but I object to be known to posterity as blinkiag Sam." BIRTH.

Ile was about forty years in the army, fifteen of which he spent in the 72d, and twenty in the 42d Highland regiment. James was feel ingly alive whenevei his honour was called in question. A Gentle man in Dumfries, with whom he was house servant, having a few friends to dinner one day, and knowing James's weak side, con trived to change the discourse on his entering the room with a load of plates, and began declaiming, with much severity, on the base and cowardly conduct of the 42d Regiment, in having turned tail and fled before an inferior number of Yankees, on a certain suppose' occasion. James, as was expected, stopped short on hearing this calumny against his darling corps, and, looking his master full iu the face, the fire flashing front his eyes, he immediately, in the ge nuine highland accent, exclaimed, " Its a lee, Sir ; a say, Sir, its a tatu'd lee—an' ye'er a' Got tam . 4 leears tegither." lie conclu ded by dashing the plates on the floor, and did what he had never done before an enemyjed, from the presence of his master in high wrath, which it required some time to appease. Dec. 15, aged 83, Mr. Francis Blisset, comedian, many years one of the most popular actors of the Bat h Theatre. Nearly half a century has elapsed since Mr. Basset, accompanied by the late highly esteemed Mr. Dimond, made his first appearance, and from that time till the termination of his professional career, his talents and respectability secured to him the actor's best reward—the fa vour of the public. In 1778, he made his deist* before a London audience at the Haymarket Theatre, and acted there several sum mers, under the management of the elder Colman. After a lapse of 25 years, he again essayed his fortune in the metropolis, and was very favourably received ; but being more than 60 years of age, the bustle of London ill accorded with his habits, and he returned to his friends and patrons, whose kindness followed him till his re tirement from public life, about 10 or 12 years since. Old age and infirmity of late made him a recluse, but a small circle :of ancient friends survive, who regarded him living, and regret him dead. At Throckley• Fell, Ann Jamieson, aged 102. She resided at Bambrough 58 years, and was one of the greatest spinners of the North. What is remarkable, she has, in the last twelve months, spun upwards of 40 yards of cloth for the use of her son, although she has been blind upwards of three years ; and it was with great difficulty she could be kept from her wheel on the day of her death. Friday sc'nnight, as a labouring man of the name of John Sutton, was digging in a sand-pit, in the parish of Selling, be imprudently undermined the bank too far, when the whale gave way, and buried him beneath; immediate assistance was rendered Mtn, but without elect, as the vital spark was extinct.
