The amusements of this delightful place have com menced this season with great eclat. The Public Breakfasts at the Itanelagh Gardens, have been well attended, notwithstandin the unfavourable state of the weather : the Sac r ed Music and Concerts at the, Assembly-rooms,have also been numerously attended,'', and the performances have given very great satisfac tion ; it is but justice to Mr. nom:, the proprietor of the Roams, to observe, that the excellent style in which the above is got up does him infinite credit, as, certainly no watering-place in England can boast of anything equal to it. The Balls have likewise com menced tinder the direction of Mair Tau FIiENCII, Esq. M. C. The one of Thursday last was select and nu merous fur this early period of the season; and the quadrille parties were kept up with great spirit. A LU.VA:i'IC'S CUNNING! A very laughable incident occurred at the Lunatic Asylum, l at Lancaster, about ten days ago. A parish officer from the neighbourhood of Aliddleton took a lunatic to the Asylum, par ' snant to an order signed by two Magistrates. As the man was respectably connected, a gig was hired for the purpose, and he was persuaded that it was merely an excursion of pleasure on which he was going. In the course of the journey, however, something occurred to arouse the suspicions of the lunatic with respect to his real destination ; but he said nothing on the sub ject, made no resistance, and seemed to enjoy his jaunt. When 1 they arrived at Lancaster, it was too late in the evening to pro ceed to the Asylum, and they took up their quarters for the night at an inn. Very early in the morning the lunatic got up, sod searched this pockets of the officer, where he found the Magis trates' order for his own detention, which, of course, let him completely into the secret. Mr. PHILLIPS, of vocal celebrity, and his fair pupil, With that cunning which madmen not unfrequently display, Miss DA Vl3. a native of Dublin, have returned to that be made the best of hi s w a y t o t h e A s yl um; saw one o f t h e • - keepers, and told him that b e h a d go t a sa d ma d fellow down at city from America , which .they have reaped a ri c h Lancaster, whom he should bring up in the course of the day; harvest i.f substantial dollars. .. • adding, " He's a very queer f e ll ow , an d h as got very o dd ways, At the Museum in New York is a set of wax-wQrk For instance; I should not wonder if he was to say I was the a madnan, a d nd that figures; amongst whom are SA tn. in a-Frenchman's he was bringing me; but you must take care p i beli ev e c a e word an d the lunatic s ay w s. embroidered coat, the Witch v'Endor in the costume him, coursepr 4c omis n e o d t co b m el a " lkZb e a k c e k to r at . of aho . emaid, and SasitraL in a robe de chambre inn, w:ler c he found the °v e neer a ti ll f as t as l ee p.

Escap ing the observation of the waiter, they descended to the bar, where they left a paper parcel, directed to a Notary Public in the City, requesting it might be taken care of till their return. It is almost needless to add, they did not return. The parcel, on inspec tion, proved to contain some old almanacks, part of a tailor's pattern card, and the trial of a notorious thief. ST. SWITHIN'S DAY.—Tuesday seanight was 'very' unpropitious, it having rained a great part of the day.

Coroner, at the Middlesex Hospital, on view of the body of George Robinson, a young man. aged 16 years, who was unfortunately killed in consequence of falling from the window of a house, N 0.20, Stratford-place, on Thursday last. Ann Davis deposed, she resides at N 0.20, Strat ford-place, Oxford -street, and is housekeeper there to Mr. Emerson ; deceased was also footman in the family. On Thursday last he was engaged in clean ing the windows, and came down in the hall to answer the door. The witness informed him she would open the door in future, and he returned to clean the drawing-room windows. Shortly after she heard something fall very heavy. On going up stairs she found the deceased lying on the pavement. Thel wooden work was not rotten to occasion his fall. The deceased was ordered not to clean the windows on, the outside, and witness was desired by her mistress to fetch a glazier; she charged the deceased particu larly not to go outside; the accident happened about eleven o'clock in the forenoon ; deceased was quite sober; the witness considered it purely accidental. Stephen Hunt, servant to Mr. Warre, No. S, Strat ford-place, was passing by N 0.20, and saw deceased cleaning the window; he cautioned him to take care, as he considered him in a very dangerous situation, and he observed to a person passing his danger; the deceased made some reply, and went on cleaning the window. Stephen Clerk; one of the surgeons in the Hospital, said the deceased was brunet there on Thursday last; both his arms were fractured, one 'had f a cosh pound fracture • bi had also reCtilved s'ome injuries in the front part of his 'heed; which were :tack's; to cause deatlLL-Tfiwltiry- . the body, and on theit return, . The'CORONER 'said tber utitild iwititsmacti dental death, occasioned by fa linvfo. the window. A Juror said it should be accompanied with their opinion that no blame•could attach to the mistress. The CORONRR said it was a pity it was at a ll al lowed: it was a bad practice altogether. • A verdict was then returned of" Accidental Death." MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE.-(From the Cam brian.—Further particulars.)—A number of persons who had been attending Divine Worship at a Calvi nistic Chapel at Lansamlet, desirous of reaching home by a less circuitous route than crossing the regular ferry, about SO got into a small boat at Foxhole, a little above the town, and had nearly reached the opposite shore, when the boat came in contact with a vessel that was moored to the quay, contiguous to the pipe ' manufactory. This circumstance, though trivial in' itself, snalarmed the women, that they all rushed to the same side of the boat, which was immediately upset, and -ihe whole of the persons in it (with the exception of two, who were fortunate enough to leap into shallow water) were precipitated into the current of the liver, at the time rendered-more rapid by a strong flood that prevailed. The scene that now en sued -was painfully awful: men and women were seen struggling to gain the shore, and the shrieks of thelatter for assistance were heart-rending in the ex treme. Every exertion was made by theseamen and others present to save the unfortunate persons from perishing, and through their praiseworthy effot ts se venteen or eighteen were brought on shore; but, alas! ten of the number sunk to rise no more. The bodies of the unfortunate sufferers (with the exception of that of Llewellyn Thomas, a coppersmith, aged 24 years) were found on the same evening, and on the follow ing day • they have since been interred by thei r s o r • rowfatfi:iends, and the regret felt4or their untimely fate was evinced by the concourse of people who at tended on this solemn occasion. 'Those who perished were—Wiltiam Beddoe, shoemaker, aged 46 years , (on whom an afllicted wife was dependent for subsist ence), and his grandson, George Beddoe, a' child, about six years old; Richard Jones, shoemaker,. aged. fifteen ; John Rogers, tailor, aged twenty-fivelleav ing a pregnant wife and two small children to lament ; his melancholy . fate); Margaret .

Though the Chinamen who perhaps have entered the ring in expectation of hereafter having benefits did not make their appearance, yet the sets-to gave satisfaction. The hackney horse Lenox and Latham bustled as usual. Richmond and Whitehead gained great applause, and re minded us of the former powers of the sable hero. Davis and Lazarus, Hudson and Abbot Scroggins and Church, exerted themselves ably, and produced much applause. Randall and Turner finished the sports of the day, and re minded us much of their former battle; when Randall returned thanks, nearly as follows: • " Gasvcratex—Cotild I use my tongue as well as my hands, I could not retro you sufficient thanks f..r the many favours I have received; but honesty, as a pugilist, has insured me victory over many a brave competitor. lam proud to say I possess 'a grateful heart ; and at any time, Gentlemen, should I again be placed in the boxing ring (which is fat chest from my wishes), I shall endeavour to pursue that conclact which bas hitherto gained me your esteem." BOXING. Monday sennight, a number of the Fancy assembled in a park near Muttonhole, on the Queensferry.rrnid, to witness a mill - between Thick, a native of Yorkshire, and O'Leary, a tight boy from the ever green isle. The quarrel originated in a public house a few evenings before, on some national reflections having been thrown out against the Irishman, who challenged the 'best man present to turn out; which challenge was answered by ' Yorkshire," and a trifling sum staked by their friends on the issue. An English ostler appeared as ►econd to Thick, an..l O'Leary was backed by a brother: Pat. Round I. On stripping, th:•£ne condition and athletic powers of the Irishman were evident. He seemed anxious to make the best use of his time, and instantly planted a kit on the nolsof Thick, who:returned it, and a severe rally took place, in which Thick was ultimately floored. • '2. Thick,'. from the .punishment be had received in the last round, fought shy, and displayed considerable agility in queer ing the furious attacks of O'Leary, who, nevertheless, planted several severe facers, and at length pinned him against the ropes. Thick xesoluttly drew himself up, and floored the Irishman by a daisy-cutter on the knowledge-box.—(Roars of applause). 5. Thick came bleeding to the scratch ; hr 'stopped it tre mendous blow aimed at his bread-basket by O'Leary, and closed. one of his peepers in return. O'Leary, quite frantic, went in on the boring system, and fairly knocked Thick off his legs. 4. Both combatants now gave visible signs of punishment, and the claret flowed copiously. Had any disciple of Lavater been present, he would have been much puzzled to make oat the dis position of the men before him, from the developement cf . their " mugs." O'Leary attempted to beat down Thick's guard, and went in again, caught him round the neck, and severely fibbed hint ; Thick, howeVer, threw hint, arid fell on him with all his weight. Betting, no;with.tandlng, 3to on O'Leary. 5. O'Leary had this round all his own way. Thick Was quite abroad from the effects of the last round, and was ulti ni . de l y thrown. Three to one upon.
