71 -re R I : . IF • COVENT GARDEN IN was maned. IRMEIt PAYS. . PROM TAR MIRROR. • Covent-garden Market was formerly a part of the Carved Garden belonging to the Abbots of West minster. which (says Mahon) extended to St. Martin's Church. Atter the D•ssolution •it was fi rst granted by Edward Bath to the Protector iomerset, and after his attainder bestowed in 1552, upon John Earl of Bedford, together with a field adjoining, called the Seven Acres, upon which the street now called Long-acre was built. About 1634, Francis Earl of Bedford, began to clear away the old buildings, and formed the present square Which would have been the handsomest in. the metro. polis, had it been completed as it was originally de signed by laigo Jones. • 44 Where Covent-garden's fames temple stands. That boasts die work of Jane? Immortal hands, Columns with plain magnificence appear, And graceful porches lead along tbe srate.".oar. Bedford-house was a mean wooden building shut up , from the street by an ordinary brick wall, with a garden on the North. In 1711, Bobea tea was sold at twenty. six shillings tie pound, at the Barber's Pole, next door to the brazier's shop in Southamptoostreet i which was built cst the site of Bedford-house, which was erected in 1552, and taken down in 1704. In 1674 a patent was' granted for a market, which was so very prejudicial to the magnificent buildings, that instead of their being inhabited by persons of distinction as formerly, they were obliged to take up with vintners, coffeelnen, and such other inhabitants. Thom's. Wills, and Button's, were the coffee-houses so frequently mentioned in the Spectator, etc. At Wills, Dryden was lain in wait for and severely brat by persons in masks ; and at Button's, Coll) Cibber is said to have placed a birch over the chim ney to whip Pope, should he again appear in that room. S r Cornelius Vermulen resided in Maiden-lane in, 1647; Lady Richardson resided in Bedford -street, the same year, the site now occupied byMr. Pitt Gobbet. In Kin t ut i r, 1690, resided the Countess of Berks and Lady Gorgess ; in 1722 the Bishop of St. David. In the same, year the Earl Ferrets lived in Covent-garden. In 1761 1 the celebrated Kitty Clive lived in Henrietta -street; the Met Cellar in Maiden-lane was frequented by Chat terton, Porson, and other literary characters. In 1661, April 28, the parish paid twopence a yard for taking up 28 yards or blue cloth, that the King walked upon i to his coronation. Richardson's !hotel formerly be longed to Dr. William Hunter, the anatomical lecturer. In the centre of Covent garden 6re-works were di:- Flayed in 1672, and September 10, 1690, and the column *as taken down in Jane, 1790. In Hart street, at the end of Bow -street, st rod the " Two Golden Balls," a house famous for musical entertainments, in 1711. February 12. 1712, Prince Eugene was present. In Crvest-gaiden stood the Rose Tavern. Mr. Thomas Rich, and Mr. Edward Beckerstaff, lived in Russell street, in 1690. Mr. Rich, and Mr. Lambert, the scene painter, were the first founders of the Beef Steak Club, in an paper room in Covent•garden Theatre. The second Club was held at Longford's. now Robins's Auction-ror m. Sir Francis Kynaston had a house in Covent-garden, in which King Charles the First, in 1636. established an academy, called " Museum nerve." for the instruction of Gentlemen in Arts and Scie ces, &c. Tuesday morning, as a bailiff was in pursuit of a warkman, who was employed in building some houses at the south-west side of Kingsmead-square, Bath, the man perceiving his approaco, instantly mounted a lad. der placed against the wall of the new Wilding, and got down in the ceutte of the house, uhile the bailiff was pursuing him up the ladder. He then went sound, tor moot d the ladder, and escaped, leaving the bailiff a prisoner in the bui'ding, to the great amusement of a vast throng assembled. Hoicrott dr st offered his play to Mr. Harris, by whom it was rejected. Mr. Kemble was then at Drary.lane. H !croft bavinp quarrelled with Mr. Kemble, desired the won k might be submitted to him as that of Mr. M. Mr. M. saw Mr. Kemble - tinder the summed name of Mr. Herbert Hill. He was most kindly received, and Mr. Kemble trok the entire management of the pre. tended M. Hill's ;slay upon himself, never OW, appear ing to suspect the truth. He even wrote one scene for the-introduction of servants, and made some other changes, wl ich it is probable he would not have done,- had he known it to be the work of Holcroft. The scene Mr. Kemble introduced was the only one at all disap proval by the audience, and was either suppressed, or march shortened afterwards. Mr. Kemble, of his own , accord, obtained a purchaser of the copyright, and got 200goineas for it. He afterwards said he had known throughout that the *At k was Holcroft's. In either case his conduct was highly creditable. If be really thought he was servin4 an unknown author, *Atha° 'other fsiend, it was disinterested ; if he knew be was , serving Ho'croft, who would not trust him with the secret, it was magnanimous.

In a Angular treatise on laughter,'Joubeit gives two similar in stances. A patient Wag my low, the physici‘e.who -had ordered a dose of rhubarb, countermanded the medicine, which was left en the table. A monkey in the room, jumping up. discovered the goblet'. and haw ing tasted, made a terrible grimace. Again. •potting only his tongue in it, he perceived some sweetness, of the dissolved - manne,whilst the rhubarb had soak to the bottom of the cup. Thus emboldened. he-swallowed she whole, but found it such a nauseous potion, that, after many strange and fantastic . grimaces, be gi jaded his teeth in agony, and in a violent fury threw the goblet on the floor. The whole 'Mir was so ludicrous, tbAt the sick man burst into repeated peals of laughter, and the recovery of cheerfulness led to health. During the rebellion in Ireland, a man was tried and condemned for disaffection, to whom it was offered to have his sentence of de a th changed into tun:portion, if he wuuld make some discoveries.

I DREADFUL ERE AT DUBLIN. narrsrao rAandoutais. At about halfapast seven o'clock on Saturday mom ing, a fire broke out on the prettifies of Sir Abraham Batley King, Dame-street. It was first perceived in !he warehouse in the rear of the dwelling, by Mi t Pat tigrew, the principal manager in Alderman King's concerns. He had risen some time before, and looked oat on the rear, fiom his window, but perceiving it to be earlier than he expected, had again totir4 to rest. On this occasion he bad obroved nothing' whatever, but shortly after was awakened by a creek. ling kind of noise, and on rising discovered lamos issuing from the warehouse. On giving the alarm, Mr. Allen, residing in one of the houses adjoining,l proceeded, in conjunction with Mr. Pettigrew, to etre down a kind of wooden bridge, connecting e pre. mises on fire with the dwelling-home in front. In doing this, however, they perceived the other part of the dwelling-house to be also en fire, although the bridge by which they were alone connected appeared perfectly untouched. At about eight o'clock the fire engines of the respective insurance olbces were in prompt attend ance; but owing to the great delay in procuring water, from ignorance of where to open for the pipes, they were comparatively -useless till nearly 10 o'clock, at which period the devouring element had attained to an almost ungovernable height, not only in the back pre.' mires, but also in the front concern, in the interior, the upper part of which was involved in one unbroken body of flame. The situation of an individual who was em. ployed on the roof, with a wet mop, to prevent the flame catching'on the premises of Mr. Walsh's house adjoining„ al fallen down on the top floor, having extricated him self from the burning matter, presented himself at a window,the devouring element rapidly approaching him, excited the most painful interest among the crowds as-, sensbled in the street, until a rope, thrown from the parapet wall over him, by H. Handwich, and which by fastening round his middle, shifting him through the air to a corresponding window in Mr. Walsh's house, happily extricated him from his very perilous situation. The upper part of the premises were Whir one blaze of liquid fire; the raging element spread with resistless fury on every side, notwithstanding that several of the engines played with powerful perseverance, and the greatest exertions were made by numerous individuals. About twelve o'clock the roof fell in, carrying down by its weight all the floors ill the house, with an appalling trash, overwhelming in the burning ruins a number of persons actively engaged in endeavouring to preserve the property, among whom was Mr. Henry Pim, of the City Quay Brewery, who, with the principal part of the workmen of that establishment, had been 'amongst the foremost in attendance on the first alarm. —Mr. Pim, the eagine.man of the Imperial loran-, ranee Office, two of the brewery men, and a boy who were also involved in the ruins, were in the act of con %Vying the tubes of the engine through the lower part' of the house to the front, when the dreadful occurrence' took place. The most strenu us exertions were used by the people in attendance to extricate those buried beneath the ruins. The bars in front of the windows were torn down. Mr. Pim was the first brought out, we are happy to say, apparently little injured. Mr. baler, a col& lential clerk of Alderman King's, was next extricated, with every appearance of having been dreadfully in jured. One of the brewery men was also shockingly crushed. It was upwards of half an hour before the other, named Kenny, was come at. A large storm had fallen on him, and rendered him entirely unable to stir, while the devouring element was Surrounding him on all ides, and he was enveloped in heaps of bug nlog ruins; at this moment of death, he was rescued at the hazard of his own life, by a sa;lor, named Treddin, who had all along distinguished himself by the most daring acts of in• trepidity, and had eminently contributed to the preserva tion of life and property throughout the whole of this perilous occasion. The most lamentable part of the occurrence, however, remains. At about four o'clock,', ,he body of a person unknown was dug from hence& the ruins, from the disfigured state of which it was is : . possible to be recognized. From the accumulation ell ruins, it cannot as yet be confidently ascertained whetheit others may not still remain buried beneath them. Tba wreck of property has been immense; the premises, we lunderstand, having been only insured for a sum molting to not quite 5,0001. while the loss is thought to approach 20,0001. The Lord - Mayne, Sheriffs, Counsellor Graves of .the head police-office, and the civil establishment, were in prompt attendance, and IN • their efficient services, preserved not only the, .am most admirable order among the immense multitude, no depredation that we could hear of having occurred, bet were amongst the most . daring in rescuing the pro. party from the Barnes. At about one o'clock, when what remained of the property had been secured, and the fire had been partially got under, or rather exhausted itself for want of materia), a company of infantry and a troop of dragoons paraded the street in front of the ruins.. We cannot close these particulars without noticing circumstance tweeted with the sailor Treddin, dread, alluded to. At an advanced hour of the night this bri' fellow was found unnoticed, nearly naked and exhaust e4 seeking shelter near one of the fire engines, by,'lllk. Cicodison, of College-street police offi:e, who hunsanfilipi took him home, amply relieved his wants, and teem& mended hint to the Sheriffs. .a Yesterday, at thres o'clock, an Inquest was held se the body taken from the ruins, when the usual verdict was retuned;. hot no aim whatever of who the demoted was meld be •distowerod.-- et Tuesday.

M several speeches he seemed agonised by dis. torting his body, and though the spectators some times laughed at him, he remained with fixed attention to the scene. Bat in the last, where one friend stabs the other on the scaffold, he could suppress his feelings no longer, but burst into a flood of tears. The audience were so affected with the soldier's simple honest heart, that they loudly applauded him, and a noble Duke (then at the head the army),-,who was behind the scenes, sent for 'him, and gave him a guinea. stating that aha was per- Ifectly sure he was an basest and brave fellow."

Ths Lollard appeared to answer the chirp; and - being called em to account for using the complainant in the manner described, he admitted that the charge was true ; but urged in his defence, ti's the behaviour of the complainant was such as to warrant the treatment be received. His conduct, be said, was insolent and overbearing in the extreme, and the language he was in the habit of using was of the vilest and grossest description. On Tuesday night the complainant was particularly cdlensive, and be (the land lord) was obliged to nil him to order, in reply to which the cesa• phinant assailed ham with a fresh torrent of abuse, and amoally mock him a violent blow on. the face; on receiving _which (said ;the landlord) I certainly-turned him oat of doors, and considered I was hilly justified in doing so, as no man hm a right to be in sulted Wieb impolite/ in-his ;mix house. k.appoured that the complainant, on being refused any further actommodation at his former quarters, applied to his Serpent for redress, who laid the matter before the Adjutant of the rein meat, who refused to have any thing bode with the business, and referred the complainant to a Magistrate.

There were, besides, 8 hog:bead* of strong beer drank the nest day, and 40 19ads of wheat baked into bread and pies. There were upwards of 10,000 guests in the whole upward, of 5.000 ,whom were entertained within the house. Aod after they had dined, the victuals were carried out into the booths for the populace, who had strong beer and ale, as much as they pleased. Laos,. Aescoorc.—Daring Lord Slowotrrn's Ad ministration, a striking instance occurred of that pecu. liar want of political inesteity which has so often dis tibguisbed the conduct of the members of the same profession. Of course the Minister was beset, as his prodeeemon and successors bay* ever been, with abun dance of hungry Barristers. Upon this occasion then was one who, to More than ordinary political subser viency, added, what he wished so be thought, a mote than ordinary *hereof petsestaltegard.

Our lawyer, on this occasion, though pledged so his patios by every tie, could not resist the well knewn reluctance of 'certain other vermin to continue in a falling house, and, to the astonishment 9f every one, he voted with the Opposition. The effort, however, failed ; and the Minister retained his place, and with it his means of providing for the Bar. What was to be done? hlo time was to be lost, and early the next morning the repentant rat was found is the ante-chamber of the Minister, cringing for so audietsce; which being granted, be, in the most fawning. suppliant manner, acknow. lodged his error, attributing it to baste, to incousiderate nese, and humbly implored forgiveness. The Minis ter, with a dignity which those who remember him is the Chair of the House of Commons know bow well he could assume, coldly informed his pondaat friend that his future vote was a matter of perfect indifference, and, with a look of ineffable disdain, kft the Learned Clew denten, for once, in a state of independence; but which, like that of 6 4 single blessedness," bad no charms for c in the eager pursuit of wealth and distinction, at what ever sacrifice obtained.
