It is proposed to erect a monument in Dublin to the memory of the late Richard Brinaley Sheridan, by the profits of a pertimmance of two of his favou rite dramatic productions, at the theatre of that city. The monument of Shakspeare in Westminster Abbey was raised by the produce of a representation of Julius Cesar, at Old Drury. Dreadful ljfeas Gaming.—A Captain in the Army, whose gallantry at Waterloo gained the admiration of his brother Officers, having lost his all at a gambliug house on Thursday night, was found on Friday morning hanging on one of the trees in St. hilleS . S Park. lie was quite dead, and has left a most amiable wife and a large yotmg family to lament the fatal etlects of hits fully and imprudence. The deceased was at the Draw ing-room on Thursday.—An inquest was held on the body on Friday, when the evidence adduced, clearly established the melancholy fact, that the deceased was ift the habit of visiting gambling houses, and had stink hum a state of great dejection on acct tof his losses; and it seemed probable that it was itunnutiately after his departure from one of those ruinous receptacles of rascals ead their dupes. that he committed suicide. We select the following passage front the evidence, its the hope of its checking the propensity to gambling in minds where it has ..tot yet risen m a habit:—The son of the gate keeper at St. James's saw several persons round the body at four o'clock in the morning; one of them, a noted said. " Look at his face : why, you have forgot 1. a night? don't you recollect him now ?" IVitness had t.o doubt they were all gamblers. Verdict—lnsanity. Chiltern ilundreds.—The acceptance of the office of Stewardship of this place vacates a seat in Par nament; but the notion that it is attended with profit is quite erroneous. Chiltern is a ridge of Aalky hills, which crosses the county of Bucks, a little south of the centre, reaching from Tring, iu llertfordshire, to Henley, in the county of Oxford. This district belongs to the C‘own, awl for time immemorial has given rise to the nominal office of Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds. Of this office, as well us of the manor of East Hundred, in Barks, it is remarkable, that although frequently conferred upon Members of Parliament, it is not productive either of honour or em:dument ; being granted at the request of any Member of that House, merely to enable him to vacate his seat by the acceptance of a nominal office under the Crown ; and on this ac count it has frequently been granted to three or !bur different Members in a week. The famous edition of Boccacio, which, at the Duke of Roxburgh's sale, was bought by the pre sent Duke of Marlborough for the enormous sum of 24601. was on Friday pupehased by Messrs. Long man, at the far interior price of 875 guineas. Mr. Evans, of Pall-mall, had in both instances the dis yosal of it. Advices from Vera Cruz, to the 31st of NLrch, were received yesterday. They mention that Mr. Park, the British Commissioner, had succeeded in purchasing from the Governmen% and private indi viduals, specie to the amount of 1,500,000 dollars, which he had paid for in notes on the British Tres cury. This sum he immediately sent on hoard the Svbille frigate, which was dispatched for this coun try. The accounts add, that the whole kingdom of Mexico continued to enjoy tranquillity, and that the communication between the capital and the coast was uninterrupted. According to a New York paper of the 16th of May, the British ship Lee, Captain Blacker, of 22 gulls, ar rived at Charleston on the Ist, in pursuit of three Eng lish seamen, who had recently been apprehended amongst the crew of the pirate Quosia, and since con fined in the prison of Charleston. Application would immediately be made ►o the Judge of the Federal Dis trict Court by the British Consul, to hare them deliver ed up, in order to be sent to England for trial. The Porte has at length given satisfac►ion to Russia for the insult shcwn to a Russian vessel in the harbour of Constantinople. The Reis Effendi hart written a let ter to Baton Str,ssonoti, informing hint that the per sons who had committed the insult had been punished; and confirming the re-estalaishinent of a good under slamling between the two Powers, by the usual present of flowers and hint.

Among the company were die Duke and I)uchess of York, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, Prince Leopold, the Prin.. cess Augusts, the Princess Sophia of Gioeester, the Duke of Kent, &c. In the evening his Royal High. ness had a numerous .pprty. According to advice, from the Port of St. Blas, on. the west coast of Mexico, there had been an earth quake, which had done a great deal of damage in the city of Guadalaxant. The towers of the cathedral had been thrown down, and the rest of the building. nearly destroyed. A great number of persons had perished, and the houses were left deserted. It is added, that the fear of new corsairs who infest the South Sea, detained in the port of St. Blas twelve vessels which were ready to sail, among which three were destined for Europe. Newfoundland .Papere arrived on Saturday to the 12th ult. They state thaethe seal fishery had been uncommonly successful., Between SO and 44.1 vessels were employed in it from. St. John's, and 102 front Conception Bay.. A singular rescript of the Crank Duke of Dann-• stadt is to. have excited a lively sensation throughout Geirmaity. He finds the lawyers in his territory tucbstiffueeked and refractory, and to re. duce them to better order, declares that they shall for a specific time be incorporated with tho regiments ot:. his army, under the same duty and discipline, until they become tudiciently obedient. The gen tlemen of the long robe are loud and vehement inn their remonstrances, and the echo of their complaints rings through Germany. The French papers of the 14th contain no news, of importance. A friend of .S'andt is said to have been arrested at Jena, but it is not hinted that he is charged with any participation in the urination of Kotzebue. Bat we trust, as we bare betime de. dared, that though political fanaticism may have driven mad one weak head, yet human nature is not so debased as to allow of two men deliberately concerting a horrible crime under the monstrous infatuation that it was an act of virtue.
