A similar circumstance bas not occurred ; w some years. The packet with the Mail arrived t Harwich about seven o'clock is the morning, and k bag was given to the contractor for forwarding 6 Mails about halt past seven. The contractor had gaged, in case the bag were put into his hands at early an hour, to bring it to the Post Office before' o'clock, in order to ensure the delivery of the ters on the same day.

TREJTRIS, DxvslrtArrs THILSTRI.—Last night Mr. KIM appeared as Si r Ed war d M ort i mer, in The Iron Chest. In this character Mr. KLAN put forth those strong and nervous powers. those great energies, which first raised him to the very pinnacle of fame, from whose giddy height some of our severer contemporaries. in the chair of theatrical criticism, have foretold his fall.l Never did we witness any acting of his which sur passed that of last night. Mr KEAN is a great origi nal—Nature is his tutor, and the Passions are his slaves. Mr. WALLACK was very fine in the charac ter of WiYerd.—The ex:ellent Alterpiece Lf the Deuce is in Him was revived at this Theatre last night, and we wish it may long retain possession at the boards. There, is nothing which contributes so much to no. bend the mind, and to relieve it from the burdens of impressions made by such an actor as Mr. KEAN, AS a good farce. Mrs. Gwvart, as Lady Bell, was the lively woman of fashion ; Mr. STANLEY, 10 Colonel 'reuniter, spirited and gay. Miss KELLY drew down repeated and well deseived bursts of applause in the part of Fosrival, and though accoutred as an officer, looked as innocent and artless as it she wire in the apparel suited to her sex. Mr. HARLEY, as Doctor Prattle, succeeded to the utmost of our expectations. His scene with the Ladies was universally and re peatedly applauded. On the whole we have seldom seen a revival so successful t and although we tniuk it has merits of its own, still we must ascribe much of its success to the judicious and admirable cast of the characters. CORAV EXCILINCE, MARK t4NA oar 21. We had a pretty good supply 1)1 Wheat from Suf folk this morning, for which M .nday's prices were obtained.

SHOCKING DL.IIII OF A SWLEP BOY. CORONER'S INQUEST. Last night, at eight o'clock, an Inquisition was held at the sign of the Lord Somers Arms, corner of Grenville-street and Union.street, Somers Town, on view of the body of Robert Dowland, a poor little orphan sweep, aged eleven years, apprentice to Hall, chimney-sweeper, of St. Pancras, whose death was caused from suffocation in a chimney, as appears from the following evidence : Mrs. Ann Bishop sworn, said, she is wife of Alm ander Bishop, a biker, and lives at No. 10. Union street, Sonier's Town. She frequently saw ttie de ceas• d, he being in the habit of buying rolls at her shop ; he was a sweep ; un last Wednesday moiling the deceased and two other little sweeps, accompa nied by their master, came to her house for the put pose of sweeping the chimneys; the deceased's mas ter ordered him to go up, and sweep a chimney, which was over a new oven, that had been 1 tidy built ; the deceased went up accordingly : he went up to the top, as she heard him beat his scraper against the chimney pot, which is a usual thing with sweeps; he came down again without teceiving much injury, except a slight burn or graze on his left arm; she supposed it proceeded from the bricks being hot, or that something in the chimney scratch ed him ; he cried, and said that something bunted his arm, and it pained him very much. He was then sent up the flue of the old oven, but witneis was not present ; he remained above an hour in the flue after he went up, though he was only a Tinter of an hour in the new flue. Witness not seeing the deceased come down, she asked his maser if he thought there was any fear ? he answered no, there was no danger, he was only taking a nap ; the fire had been out four hours before the deceased came to sweep it. When the deceased was in the ci:irri ney crying, his master knew the part of it he w..s ny AS he pointed out the place to them. Another boy was then sent up after the deceased, W ho he tounzt in the slant of the chimney, dine there was a deal of soot. She was not present, but her Journeyman baker. The flue in the :shop was then opened, and the deceased taken out, thickly covered oRi h scot, so that they had much difficulty io taking it off with their hands; the deceased was then carried alit into the air, and a Surgeon sent for, who came and rub bed him with sonic sort of spirits, but what kind she did not know, but the deceased never spoke or moved of er. When the deceased first came down the fun nel of the new oven, his master told him he ought to have a good thrashing for stopping there so long.— He was Italy mush exhausted, and complained greatly; one of her men gave him some water to drink, and witness hearing his master speak so cross to him, she said he used him very hardly; on which the master replied, he knew better how to deal with him. When the deceased was going up the flue of the old oven, his master said he would make him go quicker it he was near him. One sweep attempted previously to go tip, but could not; he said it was too small tor him. The flue had not been swept for a considerable time; she dreaded danger to the boy, and told his master to defer sending him up to ano ther day, as the batches were drawn so very late ; his master asked her when the fire had been put out, she told him about four o'clock ; he said the flue would not be too hot. When the boy WAS crying in the chimney, be said a nail stuck non ; she tapped at die wall and told him to come down, and she would give him some beer; there was some potatoes baking in the oven at the time the deceased was up the Hue: she went for her husband to the Lord Somers Arms, and lie came and agreed with her that the boy was dying from his cries of distress being so very low— The remains of the late Mr. RAYMO N D will b e hi he was only four feet from the mouth of the oven tarred on Sunday next, in the Church of St. Paul, Co. the master said he'would go for another boy, but there was no danger, as he was only stopped by a! vent Garden.

GAnties.--The Opera of The Siege of Bel grade was last aight,revived, with splendid success, at this Theatre. The fine music, original and wire ted, with which the late Mr. STORACE enriched this drama, has rarely been, within Lur recollection, so de lightfully executed. Encore followed encore, to an inconvenient, but, under such circumstances, an excu sable extent, and protracted the performance of the Opera far beyond the time which it ordinarily con sumes. Mr. BRAHASI, whose engagement we hail as the certain pledge of many exquisite musical bin quest, in the course .4 the season, made his first ap. pearance, on these boards, as the Strariier. He was received with all those cheering testimonies of re spect, with which a British audience never fail to mark the high sense they entertain of undoubted ge nius, whatever branch of art or science it may hap pen to adorn. On no former occasion do we recollect Mr. !ILI/IAM to have thrown forth so powerful a body of voice, as on the present. His most difficult air—" Love and honour now conspire"—was cer tainly, for great power of voice, joined with the most consummate science, guided and directed by an un erring judgment, one of the boldest and most inspi riting lyric efforts we ever heard His first an— ," The rose and the lily"—which, as a composi,ion, is second to none in the Opera, for variety of transi, tion, force, and melody, was sung with the most has. cinating delicacy and taste ; and the introduced air— ," My heart with love is beating," was rapturously encored. Miss STEPHENS was the Lila oh the even. ing. She sang and acted admirably. The duet a When thy bosom," which was repeated, was deli citsusly executed by her and Mr: Be/mast—the most exquisite concord WAS preserved—and the general effect was soothingly melodious. Miss STarnatts'S second air-0 Blithe as the hours of May," was fraught with all those light and jocund graces which mark the hours of which she sang. This sweet corn position was also encored. Mr. 11. _macs made his first appearance here in the character of mud*. He will be found a most valuable acquisition. His voice is a fine mellow bass—be gave " The sapling oak," a very fine song, in a bold but wire style. ft was deservkdly encored. Miss Marrusws and Mrs. Lis TON, as Krakow and Ghita, sang prettily. The cha racters of Leopold and Yuri were supported with no small comicality, by Mr. FAwcarr and Mr. Lis- TON. The House was excessively crowded. The boxes displayed as great a proportion of beauty, rank, and fashion, as we ordinarily observed in the midst of the season. . . down, end she heard I.irrt cry in the Rue; del then there was much danger.

Alexander Bishop, of No. 10, Union -street, Cla• rendon-square, Shiners Town, baker, said, that on Tuesday last he had the flues of his ovens swept. TIM last tire was put out about four o'clock. He was not at home when the sweeps Cattle; WAS called from the Lord Somers Arms about ten o'clock—did not know there WAS a sweep in the WOW, as he told them in the morning he would not have the flues swept until Saturday, as they would be more cool ; but Hall told his wife that he desired him to com e a t e io o'clock. Hall, Mrs. Bishop, and the landlord of the public house were in the shop when he went in.—. They told him a boy was in the five—he asked the master how long, tie said an hour—witness sai.., •• My good Gad I why don't you break down the flue, and run down to the bakehouse r , Got a p , ,ke Ball followed hitn, and said he was too hasty ; wtes ness put his head up the chimney, and could hear the buy tareatliing hard ; took the poker up stairs and began breaking open the flue—in a moment he ha,/ room to put his hand in, and cleared away the soot from his head—held it up, but seemed not to hays lite in it; he went down stairs and broke the flue below, and got at his feet ; when the master saw that lie said, 14 Let me get at rim, and I will get him. down, as he is only sulky, and is taking a nap." Mr• Smith then came, and made a greater aperture above, and he and witness lifted him out—there was some. thing running from his mouth which he wiped away; thought when he first got hold of his forehead that there was life in him. The master did not expreet any sorrow until he was told what the consequences might be—he never attempted to assist in cutting down the flue. The witness believed he told 11;111, if he did not get out of the way he would throw hint into the oven. Whether Hall acted from ignorance - - or inhumanity he did mot know. 'Die medical urea said he died from suffocation.

The CORONER, on their return, observed, it woo melancholy that a fellow-creature should be deprived of his lite in the way the deceased was. There cep. tautly was great inattention on the part of the master —and if the Jury thought it was wilful neglect, they would bring in their verdict against him for murdet. But if they thought it was inattention, caused by is. riorance, they might return it manslaughter ; and if they thought there was not inatteutiun, they would return a Verdict that the deceased vied by suffocation. The Jury, after a few minutes consideration, re turned their verdict—Died by suffocation, throwgh the culpable neglect of Hall the master.
