Not only all the newspapers of 'he time mentioned thew facts, but they were al-o recorded in the second volume of the Journal of Arts and Nlanufactures, by Mr. O'Relly Madame `lot in paints portraits in oil, in miniature, and in water-colours, in Isabev's new style.

So LOMON AND THE CAT.—The following curious cir cuinstance may be relit d on as a feet, which occurred during the Iflte fire at Ilanksiue :—ln one of the houses that ap pealed as one sheet of fit e, the firemen perceived a cat sitting on some fags which were in the midst of the flames; the cat cried " mew ! mew I" mot bitterly, finding her escape impossible. One of the firemen who saw and heard her, cried out to So!om , m, a Jew, who assisted them to work at the engine, " Solomon, you hear the cat (Os out Jew ! Jew !" Solomon looked up and perceived the perilous situa tion of the unforunate cat, who cried out again " mew ! !new I" Solomon most emphati,ally cried, " you shall not be disappointed in the Jew, if, at the tisk of my life, I can save you." tie ter ew up a rope, to which there was a hunk attached, which fortunately stuck in the sack, and with a quirk jerk, he pulled the sack from the midst of the flames, and also the cat, whose hair was all singed from the fire. During an hour afterwards whilst he worked at the engine, the ca' never ruined him, but held fast on his shoulder, or sat near him, on the engine; and he afterwards brought the cat haute to his own house, No. 5, Little Drury-lane. _ .•`( _ , - •-- isticrh: HACKNEY COACH ACT. SEPT. 4. By the Act of Parliament passed the 28th of July last, the new regulations for hackney coaches were to be in full force after Sunday last; but we now hear that the hackney coach drivers excuse themselves by saying, that it is not the i nten . lion of the Commissioners for licensing hackney coaches to carry the Act into effect. How far this may be collect, we cannot tell; but how are the Commissioners to set aside a positive Act of Pal liament, or defer its operation ? The first clause in the Act provides, that every hackney coach driver shall be provided with a sufficient number of Notes or Tickets, bearing his Majesty's arms, the number of his coach. the name and residence of the prow ietor and dri ver ; and that on some of these Notes or Tickets shall a l so b e printed in words or figures '• One Shilling ;" and on others, the words or figures " One Shilling and Sixpence." The second clause k important. It is as follows:—" And be it further enacted, that &lure any driver (whether he be the owner or not) of any such licensed hackney cu ch shall he entit/cd to receive or be paid the amount of his fare on any occasion of his coach being hired, he shall &liver, she r tha same be required or not, to the person (or if there shall be more than one in company, then to one of such whom he shall have driven in his coach, so many of such notes or tickets, so properly filed up, as shall, or may, by the stuns printed thereon, make up the aggregate and full amount of such his fare." The. third clause provides that no person shall be entitled to any redress, or be heard before any Commissioner or Ma gistrate against any driver, whether for over charge or for misbehaviour, unless he produce some one or more of the aforesaid notes or tickets which he shall have received, or might and ought to have received by virtue of this Act. The bill further enacts, that on complaint or information, the number of the coach on such tickets may be received, where the evidence as to the number of the coach may he otherwise defective, as auxiliary and corroborative, but as indisputable and conclusive evidence of identity. The Commissioners are to appoint a printer of these notes, which nobody else is to print under the penalty of 3001. Tne forgery of such tickets by any owner or driver is liable to a penalty of 501. and imprisonment for not longer than 12, nor less than 6 months. These are other provisions and penalties for the security of the proprietors against the frauds of the drivers. The number of persons to be carried in a hackney coach is limited to four adults or grown up, (and not being children in arms or lap) and a servant outside; but if the driver should agree to carry more, he may for every such person demand (not being a child in arms or lap) one shilling on the fare. Every driver of the hackney chariots, which may be li- censed to the number of 200, may refuse to carry more than two adults within, and one servant without. The whole num ber of licensed coaches and chariots is nut, however, to ex ceed 1100. The lateness of the harvest has, in most districts, occasioned the commencement of Partridge Shooting to be deb rruil till the 13th of this month; in the mean time your true Sportsmen are supplying themselves with the means of doing great execution ; they have al. ready taken reconnoitering surveys, and all seem to agree that the best sport may be expected at PIDDING's Pieserre, Coveys are marked down there, and he n ever denies a Friend the privilege of Sporting, as the larl..!est if they have a qualification.
