BUNTON AND ABBOTT. Yesterclarinorning the unfortunate men, whose ignoble deaths will take place neat Monday, were visited by the Rev. Mr. COTTON. The Ordinary states, that upon emering the cell of Hunt.» he found him in a most deplorable state of mind, and his appearance denoted the deepest despair. He shook bands with the Chaplain, and said, u I am glad to see thee ; this dismal cell is wotse to me than death; 1 wish thou would allow me to Wye a private apartment for the few hours I have to live, in order that I may be able to see my wife and c hildren." Mr. COTTON told him that it was impossible for him to grant his request, but he would promise that he would represent it to the Sheriffs, who alone had the power to remove him. The unhappy man thereupon shook Mr.Corros heartily by the hand, and said, 1, 1 thank thee—truly 1 thank thee." He then rested his b ea d upon his hand, and shed tears in abundance. Mrs. Honton and several of the Society of Friends were admitted to see him at ten o'clock yesterday morn ing. The unfortunate man Abbott is in a state of great mental suffering, and his constant inquiries are for his 'wife and children. His wife has never been t , ) see him since his committal to Newgate, although his solicita tions for au interview have been repeated. She has been to the gate and left him linen, and other articles of wear ing apparel, but would not see him. SALE OF JOSEPH HUNTON'S PROPERTY. yesterday afternoon the freehold and copyhold villa tesidence, late the properly of Joseph Hunton, the ua• fortunate convict, who is ordered for execution on Mon- day nest, was brought to the hammer at Caarraway's Coffee House. by Mr. Farebrnther, by order of Hunton's assignees and mortgagees. The sale excited very great interest, and the large room of Garr away's was crowded with the creditors of tha. unfortunate man, and others who felt interested in his Fite. The estate is situate in Capper street, Walthamstow • and was for some time the country residence of Mr. Banton; who expended a large sum a money in the improving and beautifying the grounds. The property comprises a spacious family residence, with numerous domestic offices, carriage yard, stabling, coach-house, and outbuilding's, tdgether with extensive pleasure grounds, walled gardens, orchards, lawn, gra vel walks, plantations, vine' y, farming buildings, and fifteen acres of meadow and arable land, subject to a small fine and quit rem on the crpyhold part, and to a land t 4:. The whole, comprised in one lot, was put up at 2,5001. and after a spirited competition, was knocked dose at three thousand four hundred and fifty pounds. GLASGOW, DEC. 2. Saturday night, about hal-past eight o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in the extensive weight's shop occupied by Mr. Pan. Croily iu Howard•streer. Owing to the highly cnnabustible nature of the propene, the tire spread over the whole premises with amazing rapi- , oily ? and the first notice thi inhabitants had of the calamity was the sudden and general illumination of the atmosphere. The whole of the police and fire depot t ments, with the engines and water-butts, were on the spot with their accustomed dispatch, but it was soon found to be impossible to save any part of the buildings. As much water, however, as could be procured in that quitter cf the city was thrown on the burning, in order to preserve, as far as possible, some large logs of ma hogany belonging to other proprietors, which lay in the sawlits under the building. The damage done on this occasion must have been very considerable indeed,as the premises of Mr. Croily were stocked with rosewood veneers, and other finely seasoned and valuable woo.!, bendes a great quantity of costly furniture which was to have received its finish in the beginning of the week... There were horn twenty to thirty cabiuet-makers em ployed in the shop, the whole of whose tool-chests have been lost, which must prove a great hardship to those (the larger number we understand) who had neglected to instate them, besides being thrown out of employment at this season of the year; WICATHER.—DurinS the *hole of Saturday night, Sunday and Sunday night, it rained incessantly, in con sequence of which the flood on the river was yesterday very high, and several places in the lower parts of the town were inundated. The police during Sunday night very judiciously informed the inhabitants in the Bridge gate and Broomielaw of its ri.e, and those who had cows, pigs, &c. caused them to be removed in time. Several individuals, particul srly poor families, who inhabit the miserable hovels in the Bridgegate, removed then fur niture. So strong Was the current at the Broomielaw that it cal tied away one or two landing-boles belonging to the Steam-boat Companies. At Itersowfield the water towed some cotton mills, in consequence of a tunnel, at present erecting by the L-.ndon Street Commissioners, beina too small, vibe eby the water was forced back.— The damage which the cotton mill sustained is etti mated at three to tour thousand punch. Yesterday the Weather was clear and fine. FUNERAL Or CAPTAIN CANNING, R.N.—Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, the remains of the Right Hon. Captain Canning, R.N. eldest soo of the late Premier, which bad been brought to lingland from Madeira, where he, unfortunately, lost his life in the manner which we hive before stated, were conveyed from Ilarcouit-house in a hearse drawn by four horses, followed by four mourning coaches with four horses each, to Westminster Abbey. The corpse was received at the western entrance to the Cloister*, by the Very Rev. the Dean of Westminster (Dr. Ire land), who commenced the Kriel service while the win was can tied to, and lowered down Into the grave prepared for the de ceased, at the pirtitioo gate, which intersects the southern cloister, at the south east corner. Among the mourners we noticed some officers of the navy, the deceased's brother first following as chief mourner. Oaring to the earliness of the interment hour, the usual hour being 12 o'clock, there were very few avengers present. Saturday last, the 22d of November, were interred in the west churchyard of this town, the remains of John Murray, late of the 25th Regiment of Infantry, aged 92. ll* was im pressed into the service soon after the breaking out of the war in 17;6,and joined the 25th Regiment, or King's Borderers, in which corps (although he never would accept the bounty) be served as a good soldier, under the Duke of Marlborough and Prince Ferdi nand of Brunswick. In the glorious ba•tie of Minden. fought on the Ist of August, 1759, where the 25th Regiment particularly distinguished itself, our hero shared its honours, and used to boast that he hod escaped without a wound, although there were op. wards of thirty shot holes through his clothes and accoutrements. lu the campaign of 1760 be was not alike fortunate, as, at the bat tle of the Bog, he almost at the same Instant received three wounds . !Nut musket-balls, one of them of a dangerous nature, in the groin. to consequence of which, being left on the field, he fell into the hands of the enemy. From France be was exchanged in 1761, sod invalided fir garrison duty at Sheerness, where he served for upwards of twenty years, until placed on the pension list, from which he has been supported for a period of forty-four years. Ile is supposed to be about the last of the survivors of the memorable batik of Minden. The veteran retalued his faculties to the lase, and the reserve companies of the regiment in which he bad passed the store distinguished and active part of his life happening to be w in gorily's' here, the commanding officer readily complied with Its dying wish, that be should be buried as a soldier by bis old corps ; and the whole depot, accompanied by the band of the Aberdeenshire Militia, attended the corpse to the grave, where it was interred with military honours. The deceased had great at tennosi.paid Inns by Colonel Farqubarwm and the other Officers of the liegioient, and was so great a favourite with the privates, that we understand they intend erecting a head-.tore to the memory of he gallant veteran,—albewiten atrmicle• BRUNSWICK CLUBS. . PROM m, MONTHLY MAOnsiNt POE DICINDER4 In toe spirit of Burke's immortal language-_" when bad men conspire good men should et:imbibe—we re joice at the establishment of Brunswick Clubs. No measure could have lotto more essential, for treason was already stalking through the land I and no measure could have been more suitable to the manliness of the British mind, the. dignity of the cause, or the secure ,triumph of reason, true policy, and the uncorrupted constitution. We saw an insolent and ignorant gang of bigots assembling daily in oFen scorn of law, utter ing sentiments unheard of since the reign of the French revolution; and while their characters were as base, and their intentions as atrocious, as any that marked the blackest time of subversion, held up, on the one hand, as the public organs of the Irish nation, and, on the other, confidentially received and cherished by the public instruments of the Ministry. Whether the Irish Government was capable of feeling the degradation of this pusillanimous and short-sighted policy, or adopted it in the mean and hypocritical de terence to rabble clamour, which characterises the tenth-rate minions of office—whether the familiar re ception Li individuals whom no It ish Gentleman would permit to cross his threshold were the natural impulse of manners reared in early license, and giving proof of their origin by a career whose description must be left to its associates and its IFL:6ms—the fact was unques tionable-0e reception, the gay confidence, the familiar conviviality, were there, to the astonishment and alarm of every man capable of knowing right from wrong, or of estimating the irrecoverable depth into which public functionaries could be flung by the contamina. lion of such names. But, whatever were the results to those who thus stooped their necks under the heel of the Popish Asso ciation, its results to the country have been rf the most, signal value. When the intellect, the property, the principle, and the religion of Ireland—all included in the single word Psoteiaantism—found that they were cut off from their natural connection with the sourc. of British polity in Ireland, they remembered the strength that there was in their own manliness, union, and knowledge. Those were strong hold-, that neither the - temporising of an unpurrosed Cabinet, the tergi versation of lawyers who had betrayed every s 4 tie in succession, nor the lot .se coxcombry of a legislature of spurs and feathers, could shaky. In the language of a British Peer, whose words will pass into a proverb, and the proverb into the principle of safety to the empire, they felt that " they must not put their trust in princes nor in prelates—in the depositories of power, nor even in the chosen guardians of religion;' they must look to the defence of the national interests by the national vigour, and where every man had to lose by inactivity, by giddy confidence in the corrupt, or gi,ilry fear of the overbearing—privileges without which life would not be worth preserving for an hour—they must call round them their fellow possessors of freedom, and see how far their muster might fight the battle of the Christian faith and of the Constitutirat of their country. It was on those principles, the noblest that can stir the heart of man, that the Brunswick Clubs were founded; and who shall say that it was nct full time? The cry of civil war had gone through the land. It was trumpeted from the lips of every orator of the . Popish Association. "We are masters of the whole force of Ireland," says one—" we have all its military passesl in our hands, all its provisions, all its munitions of war, I all its people." "We have America at our back," says' another; "and, as we once invaded America to keep up the despotism of the British Government. so shall America invade us to put it doe n." " Let England tremble," says a leader—" let England, brutish as she is bloody, tremble—let the country of our tyrants be reduced to her original insignificance, and feel that the chains of Irishmen may be converted into their swords." "Look to the new aspect of Eniespe," says another au thority among those infuriated fools; " with France, Austria. and Spain, Popish ; with the steam-vessel bringing invasion to a matter of calculation, and the English shores within sudden reach of every power of indignant Europe ; are there no hopes for the renewed energies of Irish independence? Again, look to Ire land ! Was there ever a country so organised? I tell the Government that the whole land is bound by a great 'secret confederation—that every • county, every town, every village, has its 1 aders and its troops—that the . men of Ireland are regimented, armed, disciplined, and eager for th i r first summons." fhe Gove rn:nest listened to this. The language was repeated in a thousand forme; they listened still. The metaphoric treason was soon embodied into more vigo. mu: figure. Armies of Popish ruffians by the twenty thousand, breathing blood and rebellion, accoutred in the established uniform of Irish insurrection, and ma.l Flemming with the discipline of regular troops, started up at the summons, marched in the face of d y through the country, with the menaces and the power of con querors, and gave the most insolent and ostentatious defiance to the law. Will it he believed that the Go eernment still looked on ? But a memorable example soon showed what the nation can de, and must do, for 'themselves, if they will be saved. A tool of the Popish Association, one of the most vulgar and base of its brawlers, big with the triumph of riot, and secure in the supineness of authority, was sent—will the words be capable of credence !•-•" to rouse the north." He proceeded in the tree spirit of his mission, and moved forward, at the head of every disturber whom he ctuld gather. to the amount, by his own statement, of from fifty to a hundred thousand men. He did rouse the north ; but it was to a sense of their duty, as honest and brave men, who found that they must rely on no strength but that which Gob and the constitution have given to every man w defend himself. The north were roused in arms—they knew the absurdity of waiting to claim tardy justice; and, on the borders of their province, the men whose fathers had bought the revolution of 1688 with their blood, stood, musket in hand, to repel ma rauding and murder, under whatever pretext their cot• rages were to be sacked, and their lives sacrificed. Then the secret of this boasted heroism was found out—the Catholic Army of the Faith shrank at once— the brawler at their head trusted for his safety to his heels—the Popish Parliamert suddenly discovered that the time of glory was nut fully ripe, and discounte nanced the warrior; and—last and most unexpected result—the dormant Cabinet opened its eyes, disco vered that mobs of legislators and apostles, gathered by the hundred thousand, from tire raggedness, fero. city, and superstition cf the Irish hovel, were not the safest settlers of the State, and actually ordered the seizure of the defeated chieftain. Yet even this lagging deferents to common WOW was due to the English Cabinet. The Irish were at the moment iavolved in an interchange of gracious civilities ith the hero, which might have compensated a less sensitive spitit for the wnhering of his laurels. The young Secretary, a Nobleman whom we lament to see plunged from his accomplished pursuits into the mire of provincial office, was occupying his polished pars t New &ries. G. B. Whinsker and Co. graphs in elzkidating the law to the law brtaker ; and the old viceroy was smilingly conducting this model of native graces into the pres nce of his daughters and 'his wife, when the missive of the Privy Council came, like a thunderclap, to break up the whole commerce of Republican and Royalist courtesies. But one act of resolution, wrung from the reluctant bosom of the Cabinet, was enough for one season; and the blacker offenders are suffered still to insult the feel ings of the country. The Popish Parliament is still furious, and labouring in its vocation of spreading fury i through the land; and the whole tribe of the scribblers and spouters are hourly pouring out libels on individual character, treason against the connexions of the coun tries, and open incentives to rebellion, that, in less, tender times, would have summoned indignant justice' to raze the walls, burn the journals, and to bend orators, warriors, and scribblers, to New South Wales for the. term of their forfeited lives. •• ••• •• With the Rcmish Clergy themselv s the whole prin ciple of their Government is the most unqualified tyranny. The Pope is by the constitution of Popery bound by no law whatever, except that of pushing the claims of his See to the utmost possible pitch. His will is the law. He has no assessor, no controul, no code which he cannot abrop ate at a word. His Go vernment is the most complete derpotism ever known. He can impose whatever oath he pleases to-day—he can dissolve it to-morrow. Treaty ssith him is absurd. He can discover that it is not for the good of the Chur..h, at any time he chooses, and the treaty is ipso facto null and void. For the great standing canon of the 'totals!) system is, that all obl gations injurious to the intereqs of the R.imish See are, by their very nature, extin guished. It the Pope at this lulu were to sanction the abjuration of Papal allegiance by his Irish Clergy, he might abrogate his concession in the nest. But the impossibility of making the concession with any actual validity is so %sell known, that if the present Pope, in dotage or fear, in corruption or conscience, were to make this concession, essential as it is to the safety and prosperity of Ireland, no Irish priest could be found to avail himself of it, if any Irish Government could be fiend mad enough to confide in it. For it would be a nonentity in the very act of passing, and the next Pope would unque•tionably dissolve the com pact. The fact is, that by this oath a grasp is laid upon the British empire which no Pope can relinquish; a connexion is established by thii Irish priesthood with Rome, and through it with foreign Powers, which no Irish priest, in the prospect of pr, ferments, bishoprics. and Cardinals' hats, will ever relinquish ; and if the Pope and the priests together were by miracle willing to abate the nuisance, it would be still secretly but ii. resistibly insisted on by the Popish Sovereigns, ho see in it at once the means of perplexing the British Government, of keeping open a point of attack in case of war, and undnubtedly, to the minds of those bigot ted and priest•ridden nine. s, an opportunity, not yet desperate, of bringing back to Itomish idolatry the Protestant portion of a country, which lay once. like themselves, in the unbroken darkness of the most sullen and merciless superstition of the world. The tyranny of the Pope binds the Prelate—the ty ranny of the Prelate bins the Rector--the tyranny of the Rector binds the Curate. Of all those ranks not one man cin indulge in a single act of human choice but by permission of his supreme master. His meals, his books, his hours, his habits, are all regulated for him by the ordinance of the church. He dares not eat, he dares not speak, he dares not connect himself with his country, set ve his kind, or worship his Go% but by the sullen and prescriptive mandate of a aural, which prop agates per petual repugnance to lawful government, through the medium of perpetual submission to an Italian priest, and keeps its miserable adherents in the toils at once of slavery and teNellion. Of those there are nearly two thousand parish priests of f iciating in Ireland. But the numbers and virulence of the R imish agency ale not to be estimated by even this formidable enumeration. The more hazardous class are the regulars, tribes of monkc, still less con nected with the public interest, if possible, than the parish priest, and still more bound to Risnie. Those men, whom common wisdom in the Government would have driven, root and branch, out of the country, plun derers and pervertets as they are—the open agents of foreign influence, and the unquestionable missionaries of every doctrine that can yet grow into national dis turbance—are already crowding into Ireland, purchas ing lands, by shat funds none but themselves can tell, usurping the education of the Popish children, and, in all their proceedings, carrying on the most notorious, yet the most secret. correspondence with Rome. Among those are the Jesuit•, a rice of criminals, whom the scorn and terror even of Popish Europe expelled from every kingdom scarcely half a century since; to whom every hr., ach of obligation, moral and divine, was fa miliar; and who, in Spain, Portugal, Prince, and Italy, were alike charged with poisoning and treason, the polution of private morals, and the assassination of king.. Yet those we have, with a negligence, which better deserver the name of fre. ay, suffered so esta blish themselves within a few miles of the Irish metro polis, there to stimulate the efforts a rif Papistryoo direct the progress of insurrectioa in Catholic rents, harangues, and rabble musters, and to be in a condition to keep up, like their Missionary brethren, a perpetual and most mysterious correspondence with the general cf their order, who reigns over their movements with more than kingly despotism, and who, by the laws of his orJer, constantly resides in the capital of con spiracy, Rome. Of the tremendous materials that are stored in these successive depositaries of public ex plosion who can doubt ? Or who can more doubt that there is any alternative for •the British Government be- tween weakly conceding all and wisely and manfully declaring that concession has gone to its full extent ; and that the Protestant laws and liberties must be no longer lowered into the toy of a faction, whom no con. cession would satisfy short of absolute supremacy. But 'the Btitish Government can be strong only as the organ of (he nation ; and it is to put the Government in pos session of this strength that the Brunswick Clubs have been established. When the Minister comes down to the House he will now be at no loss for the public judg meat. If he waver, he will have the saving knowledge that the eyes of the nation are upon him. If he be re. solute, he will have the noble confidence that the hearts and hands of the bravest, wisest, and most honest po pulation of the earth are ready to bus tain him in the cause of freedom and religion. It we arc to be.told that those things are best left t Parliamentary discussion, we must spurn the advice, let it come from what quarter it may. The man who referred the question of cutting his own throat to the wisdom of another would be but a feeble emblem o. the nation that left it to a Minister, and a House of Commons, to decide at thtir ease whether it should be slave or free? On the minor questions of polity we may defer to the experience of the Legislature. But where the most incurable evils may be the result—where the question is plain to every man—and where the GOD, that has put into the national heart the feeling of civil and fer g ;aus &rano, has put into the national hand the power of .defending them, we should de•eree,oeir fate if we folded our arms, and lazily lingered for the shaping 4 f the Cabinet op:nion, whrther we were or *ere not to be undone. It is the fir-t and most imp'. limn call of our hazarded lights and our insulted an. demanding to assemble, and, by all legitimate means, pronounce the will of the Brhish people. MEETING AT BIDEFORD. TROY PHI WISTESS Luau):Am Tuesday, a Meeting of the Inhabitants of Bideford and the vicinity, convened by the MAYOR. in compliance with a. requisition, was held at the Guildhall in that town, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament against further concessions to the Roman Catholics. The MAYOR was called to the Chair, and hiving opened the business, Mr. J. RITNOLDS rose to move a Petition, and oh. served that the strenuous divas the Roman Catholics in Ireland were making, and the unjustifiable measures they had adopted to carry their object—Emancipation— called aloud to every Protestant to stem the torrent of sedition which how agitated that distracted country. He held' it, he said, to be our duty, in return for the numerous blessings we enjoyed. to uphold our Constr . • tution, our Religion, and our King. He concluded by moving that the Pelition•be agreed.to. • Admiral GLYNN had great pleasure in seconding the Address. It cannot, said he, for a moment be doubted, that if the Catholics are allowed temporal power, they will employ it for the subversion of the Protestant ClArch. The Catholic takes an oath that he will keep the secrets of the Pope, and do every thing in his power to extirpate the here ic.:l.as he denominates the Protestant Church. If he keeps the secrets of the Pope, he peces- S4l Hy becomes a party to hi% measuies, however disbar,. lical they may be, even though it be a repetition of the transactions of the sth of November, or the bloody massacie tf Paris. Mr. T. B. CRANTEK recommended conciliatory mea sures with regard to Ireland, and moved the following as an amendment:--4 4 That this Meeting, viewing with regret the unfortunate commotion which' exists amongst his Majesty's Ca holic, subjects in Ireland and elseohere, n c nsequence of their being excluded from the enj.y ment of certain privileg-s, alone granted to the Pri4es cant inhabitants of this kingdom, have, notwithstanding, the fullest confidence in the able judgment and wisdom of his M ijesty's Ministers, that, should they consider it expedient to grant them lu ther concessions, a due watchfulness and regard will be carefully observed foe the safety and protection of the Protestant Church, State, Liberty, and S Mr. HUSBAND seconded the amendment, and expressed his conviction in the wisdom and prudence of his Ma jesty's Ministers, that whatever fur ther concessions they might deem neces ary for the safety and prosperity of the country, and the happiness of his Majesty's subj-cts • they would place a shield of defence around the Pro testant religion and Government, which would be an effectual protection agains: any insidious designs that its enemies might cherish. L. W. Buck, Esq. M.P. said, that if he consulted his inclination he should be a listener to the sentino n s of others, rather than give expression to his ova n. His opinion relative to refusing further concessions to the Roman Catholics was well known. The violence of the measures pursued by the Association he vied% ed with alarm, and thought that every person who valued the Protestant interest was now called on to protect 4. He had heard the subject canvassed in private meetings and public assemblies, both in and out el Parliament' ; and he had heard it said that the moment was arrived when the interests of the country required ti , e granting of the objects so long sought for by the Cith .lies; but he contended than the advo: ties of this measure relied more on expediency than on principle. Had the march of intellect, he would ask, produced any alte.ation in the principles and spirit of the Roman Catholics? Did they not continue to declare that their system is unal tered and unalterable? We had been told, he said, that granting those concessions would tranquillize Ireland; he believed it would have no such effect. He yielded to no man in his attachment to civil and religiuus liberty; but it was his conscientious belief that were we now to grant the Roman Catholics that coucession they require, it would be the deathblow to the Protestant Government and Religion. Mr. HAMMOND supported the amendment. Mr. M. SMITH arid Mr. SMALK spoke in favour of the original Petition, which, on a show of hands, was carried by a considerable majority. Hla MaJevre's H Battu —Why is the Kitt l e: ht alth like Lady Barrymure? Because it Is often drunk ! BILLY BLACK'S LAST..--%% by wolild a sai!nr nn the mast bead be a valuable fellow near a stable?

CORBETT'S CORN AGAIN. —" Ct.bbett," said one friend to another, " is making every thing of his corn—he'll make roast beef of it next, I expect." a Corned beef, I suppose jog mean," rejoined the other. The late K ng of NAPLES, playing once at cards, exclaimed, on making a fault. " Syne into beslies"—" I am an ass." Duke who was playing with him, made a mistake soon alter s and said, " Aisch'io torso per knit sleko & M."—" And I am a greater ass than your Majesty." The Kura never played pith him again. ANTIQUAIINS OP SCOTLAND.—The annual festival of this Society was celebrated on Friday, in the Hopetoun rooms, Queen•atreet, Rdinburgh. Upwards of ninety Gentlemen sat down to a most elegant dinner. When we mention that Sir War.ven Score filled the chair, a strong assurance is given that a high intel. lectual spirit characterised the meeting. All account., indeed, con. cur in representing it as one of the best public auemblies which has taken place there for a long time past. Sir Waives, in the enjoy. ment of the test health, and in the highest spirits, delighted every person with that brilliant wit, and richness of imagery, which give such point to every remark be utters. Duautt, Dgc. I.—The Post-office was 'kited on Thursday by the Alarchloaess of CLAISICA aim (daughter of the late celebrated and lamented Mr. Cement.), Countess of Hower, Lord and Lady DUNGAIIIIUM, Lady K St. LAIWRINCL. Lady bloasas, Prince Pumas. MUMMA, Sir ARTHUR and Lady Cu axe, Ste Jason. Larvae, &c. and after expressing satisfaction at witnessing the wonderful and expeditious arrangements of the different de partments, the company partook of a splendid collation given by Sir Enwaao and Lady Lags, at their spacious apartments in the Post-olfice. EARL Wit.roah—While his Lordship was engaged in the chase with his usual ardour oil Thursday last, he met with an accid'nt which might have terminited Wally. In riding a strange horse (the huntsman's), at a post and rail fence, the animal once refused the leap, but took it the second time; and in an Inef. fectual attempt to clear it, threw a complete sonserset, and fell, with the rider undermost, by which one or two of his Lordship's ribs were broken. His Lordship soon recovered himself, and was not at first aware of the extent of his injury. His Lordship is now at Eaton Hall, and is attended by Mr. Gamma Hanaison, of this city, the medical attendant of the family.—Chester Courant, It has just come to ow kilos ledge, that a kindnets,tho more delightful, because never intended to be published, was trier. cised a day or two ago by the kssee of Drury-lane Theatre, Mr. Paws. A Gentleman at one time of high standing in the theatrical profession, but who, through misfortunes, has been, with his family, entirely dependent in an infirm old age, upon the labours of a son, even now not more titan twenty two, died last week, and IN death was yesterday followed by that of his youngest daughter.— It may be imagined bow heavily the great expense of the illnesses and funerals of two persons under such circumstances must fall upon an extremely scanty income. Mr. Puce being apprised of the emergency, immediately sent a ebeck fora handsome sum to t assist in relieving it. The deceased Gentleman was nineteen years a subscriber to the Covent Garden Theatrical Fund, but. by some chance, act having paid up the twentieth year, he was coosideted as dlsegnitkd to the enmity. ur gb of VaM fox
