A Gentleman in Belfast, having put unslacked lime into some empty barrels in his yard, in Ault. street, the title rising in the night, wetted the lime, which set the barrels on fire, and communitated to pert of his stores ; it was fortunately discovered amid extinguished, before it had done mach de suave Ixcerese or FAMILY. — Edward Satterthwaite, aged 82 years, now residing at Coolthou'e, in the North part of this country, has fire children lie. log, aged 257 years-36 grand children, aged 712 years—and seven great grand childree, aged 18 years.

A few slays ago a man was apprehended at the West End of the Town, on a tharge of endea. touring to pass counterfeit seven shillings pieces. ; Seven of which were found abort his person, and placed upon a table, but whilst further search was slaking, he contrived to swallow them. Ile was afterwards sent to a Watch-honse, but found means to escape. Tuesday nigh!, as souse militiamen were drink. leg iu c smpany with some sailors, at the Trafalgar North-cortier.street, Plymouth-dock, a des. lime arose relative to the late eipa s ition to the Scheldt ; when one of the soldiers drew his bayonet, and stabbed a sailor in the body. The culprit was immediately taken into custody. The sailer is nut expected to survive. Yesterday morning, an unfortunate female threw herself from "a two.pair stairs window, in Greek-street, Sults), when at the moment two Gentlemen were passing, who, by their humane exertions in breaking her fall, prevented the dread. ful consequence that seemed inevitable, and she expetienced aqraterial injury.

In plain English, the Magisfratea would nut have dared to send, toThe Felons' Dungeon, at the Ilrozen Bear, the majority of the persons brought before them, but for the perjury of the witnesses produced against them. Some conside. ration is, therefore, due to the these Friends of Meisrs. ICemble, Harris, and who so oblig. ingly humbled themselves, without even au eipectatioo of future exaltation. What an heroic Spectacle, Sir, we should have beheld, but for Mr. Clifford's good-nature ! ! ! ! The only objection I have heard to the immediate removal of the Private Boxes is, that it is not quite couvenient to returu the 12,0001. Messrs. Kemble, Barris, and SJI, have received fur them ; a sum amounting, as Mr. Scrjeant Best truly said, to eight per cent. an these Gentlemen's capital. The complete and speedy removal of this grievance is, iu every view of it, of the utmost import ance; but in none so much as•an example to the Owners of other Theatres, now about to be built or rebuilt. lf, Sir, Mr. Bull had passed unnoticed the one tier at Covent-gartlei, we might, per haps, have been honoured with two tiers at Drury_ lane. Never let us forget the important distinc tion betwc an Italian Opera-house and an English plar-house. The former has so little of public belonging to it, as to be almost, it nut al together, a private concern ; while the latter has so little of priVate, as to be altogether a public Theatre. After all that has passed, confidence is out of the questiqu. Old Prices are our only security fur the removal of one of the greatmt nuisances ever attempted to be imposed on a generous Public. Inner Te.nphr, Dec. 41. PRIED-ROSCIUS. A treaty has been cunclatled between the Go vernor of the Indian territory anit, the Miami, Puwtawatany, and the Lel River Tribes of Indians, who have ceded to the United States 6 2,600,000 Peres of land lying on both skies of the Wabash, said to be some of the finest land in the United States. Ti.e birth-day of the daughter of Louis •XVI. Duchess d'A Noon Li E, who entered her 32d year, was cdebrated tor Tuesday, by the Comte and Cumtesse de LILLE, at Hartwell-house. MoN ' StEUR, and all the root of the Members of the Holm of Rouitaosr, together with the Due de StInnENT, and all the other French nubility now in England, paid their respects upon the occasion. On Saturday last, Sir TIIOII As Brcvon, Mr. FLE.LOWES, Mr. POST'S., Mr..J.aar,and Mr. Jun N ilowr.rrT, the Members of the Private Cont. tnittec of the Norfolk Corn Growers, assembled at ' the Rampant Horse, Norwich, to close their counts, and to meet their friends, pursuant to their advertisements. A good plain dinner was prepared fur 100 pawls, but only 30 gentlemen sat down 'tto table. The Chairman, Sir 'l'. Rt:e.vort, and other Members of the Committee, retired between I six and seven o'clock, and the company separated soon after. On Wednesday evening, the L sox' MAYORESS of Tuna gave a most splendid ball and supper t• a number of the principal inhabitants of that city and neighbourhood. The ball-ruom exhibited a striking display of In pity and fashion, anti was decorated in a most elegant and tasteful manner, with wreaths of flowers and various beautiful transparencies ; the fluor was chalked with pleas ' ing devices, which hail a very agreeable effect.— About one o'clock the party went to the supper ' room, where every delicacy of the season, aid the choicest wines, &c. were in great profusion. The dancing recommenced between two and three, and continued with much spirit until a very late hour. Nearly 300 earth; of invitation were issued. On Tuesday morning early, a boat, with one nll4 on board, was discovered making oat of Dover Harbour, and one of the hovellers being on the South Pier (lead, who knew the boat, en. quire', of the supposed owner w here he was go ing to by himself ; not receiving any answer, he went to the further part ,of the head, and repeat ed his question, but still getting no answer, and recollecting that several boats had been carried off lately by unknown persons, lie desired the sen4iel on the Head to challenge the boat, which he accordingly did, and not receiving any answer the third time, fired into the'boat, when the per son jumped from her, and swam to the North Head, where he was taken by the other sentinel, and conveyed to the guard-house. lie is thought to be a' Lieutenant de Valssvau, who has broke his parole. The following circumstance occurred on Thurs day lust, between Penrith and Mater' Moore, one of the most mountainous parts in England, where, within these few days, an Immense quantity of snow had fallen, which renders travelling in that part of Cumberland extremely diffictilt,.and al. most impracticable. Asa Mr. Campbell was pro ceeding in that direction, in company with a sol dier, of the name of flume, on his return from Walcheren, dreadfully debilitated by the malady, the cold wit so intense, that they were frequently obligtal to timber on their hands sad knees fur several yards ; when Borne, at length, became perfectly exhausted, and was unable to proceed any further. Mr. C. then, notwithstanding the snow was beginning to fall very thick, with much difficulty and exertion, reached the residence of Mr. Kidd, at Alitmi, whum he could not relate the circumstance for !warty a quarter of an hour, being quite speechless; when, after recovering himself, and making known the case of his hav ing left his fellow-traveller behind him, upwards of sixty miners were instantly collected, who pro ceeded in every direction In search of Burns, whom they at last found almost covered with snow, and apparently lifeless-'—on w hich they tdopted,such means as their experience hail taught them to bring him to animation, which, after some time, proved effectual; but it is [mold that he n ill leas the use of his limbs. • te• t *P 4 •P' , , .Tifit.

The op. priiitic►n to the . suverai 31embers wh.. voted for re. seinding the original Address to his M.ir, &Ns. r, was extremely strong, and in most cases likely to be avccessful. In other IY.Ards, where no opposi. (ion has been started, thi*eireumstanco is tint to be attributed to the diiiinclination of the Elec. tors towards their olli Representatives, but to the Is ant of proper Candidates °filming themselves.

ANIMMEMINNO THE VI4SE. ti: N.~ • , ••••••• .41, The Cottesmora hounds had a hard ran on Fri day list. They unkennelled i fox at Woodle. head, Lincolnshire, and.* Min fur two hours and fifty minutes - , with scarcely a dieck ; indeed the only one t i ley received was through Reynard's taking shelter (.is be thotigltt) in a drain near Ashwall, but he was immediately followed by an excellent terrier, who hurst him out at the other end of the drain, where the hounds were ready to receive him; but, strange as it may appear, he leaped upon the backs of the hounds, escaped theni completely, and ran into ground near Bel. voir Castle. At (his moment, Laftibert, the huntsman, and one of the whippers-in, were the only persons present. Many excellent horses were completely done up long before that time : a valuable one died the moment the servant pulled the suddle off, in a stable, at the George inn, Stamford. We regret to state, that there has been a very serious loss of shipping off Heligoland during the late gales. There are twelve or fourteen ships al. ready known to have been wrecked ; and letters from the Island estimate the total loss at se►enty. Letters from Helie,ol ind state, that the commer cial intercourse with Ilan►burgh is now coinpictely interrupted, in cowequerice or th% rigorous eject'. tion of the French Decrees. It is stated in Sydney Gazettes to the 27th of March last, that a proclamation, issued by the Lieutenant-Governor, P.ttsasom, prohibited all correspondence and communication with the late Governor &tem, or any of his family, friends, or associates. The annual allowance for clothing to the Vo lunteer Corps and Troops of Cavalry, will, in fu ture, be reduced to the sum of 21. per man. Lord St. Asaph has received a confirmation of the loss of the Lady Nelson, of Liverpool. All on board perished, including his Lordship's son, Mr. Ashburnham, an •l6cer in the Coldstream G Colonel Marshall, whom the French papers state to have been mortally wounded in the de fence of Gerona, we% a native of Trader, in Ire land, in the neighbourhood of which he had a handsome estate. He joined the Spanish army as a volunteer. Hy letters from the United States, it appears that some dispntes had arisen between the British Ambassador and the Governor, at Washington, which had rendered it impossihle for him to coml. nue the negociations with any prospect of advan tage co Great Britain. The British prisoners in France are about 4,000; but the French, in a debtor and creditor account of prisoners of different descriptions re leased on parole, contrive to make a balance due to them, of about 1300 men, notwit!lstatiding the immense number: in our deptits and prison ships. Iler Royal Highness the Princess AxEctA is considered so much better, that we understand an operation is determined on, t o be p e rformed by Mr. KEATEI, to remove the obstruction is the thorax. The Archbishop of CANTERBVRY intends to pull down all the houses on the Palace side of Church-street, Lambeth, as soon as the present leases arc expired ; in ord:r to enlarge the street, and make the approach to the church and the an. cient gaits of (he palace more commodious. Tha Duke of NORTIILIMUFRLAND'S seat, Aln ick.Castle, is expected to be a scene of festivity, during the ensuing holiday.. We understand, that great preparations are making at that noble mansion, for the nuptials of his Grace's (aughter, Lady A. Peace, with Lord .lami.s Muuaay. Last ni4lit, a fire broke out at a private house, in Devonshire-street, Qeeen-square, which was apprehended to be of an alarmiug nature, but the very timely interference of the engines, of o hick those from the Hope *ere of the first, prevented its doing any material damage ; the whole loss being comprised within one suite of apartments. Saturday last, the ballot for the Local Militia, for the division of Bearstcd, Kent, took place, when the number wanted for the town of Maid. stone appeared to be 230 ; there were only 20 volunteers offered and accepted, and the remaining 210 were ballotted for, to make up the 230. At the Public 'Office, Hatton-garden, yester day, a carpenter, of the name of Cadman, tinder. went a long private examination, charged with having committed a rape on Martha Gall, 17 yeats of age, in an out-house in the Spa-fields, for which he stands committed, but is to be brought up again, as further evidence is to be brought foi watd against hint. Yesterday Were safely landed In the Timer, a lion and linneis, from Senegal. A rubbery of the must daring nature was corn. milted a few days ago, at Mr. Turner 4, the White Hart hitt, Broad-stteet, Bristol. Be tween four and five o'clock, the rubber first en tered the bedchamber of a gentleman and lady, who hid fur some time taken trp their residence at the above inn, and took front the eoat.pocket of the gentleman hie pocket-book, containing about tent potted', and some other articles ; also, the pockets of the lady : which, together with the empty pocket-book, were found at day-light at the chamber door. The robber next proceeded to the chamber of Mr. 'rimier, the landlord, who, with his wife, wcreasleep. Having extinguished the rushlight, he plundered the breeches-pocket of Mr. Turner of upwards of seventy pounds in notes, and by the noise he mole, he awoke Mr. Turner who viclaimed that somebody was in the room ; but it being a stormy windy :naming, mid quite dark, Mr. Turner did tort discover (though he felt round the bed) that there was any body in the room ; and from hence he also made his escape undiscotered, changing the key of the room door from the inside to the outside. Frotn thence he proceeded to a closet on the stairs, used by the chambermaid fur keeping (lie linen of the house. Here he made it tolerable booty tenolig the shirts and wearilig-apparel. A person who lodged at i the house fur some days, and represented himself' as a traveller out of place, has been taken into custody, charged with having committed the I rubbery. a • .• 4 7 ... t
