MAKING THINGS I.OOK SMART. _...._ It is remarkable that great talent is often found accompanied by extraordinary peculiarity of character and disposition. Great 'Niue, authors. painters, and musicians, have in all ages been distinguished by an eccentricity of manner, a iinvereign contempt for externals, or a detestation of common terms and habits. An instance of this sin gularity of mind is afforded in the person of a man well known In the musical world by the name of Frank I thugh, who has long figur ed in the best circles as leader of &quadrille band. This extraordi nary being, by the pliancy of his temper, can form a level in almost any society, and has alternately ranked with a duke and a coal. beam. With an extensive knowledge of musical science he unites n pewee of execution on various instruments, that even amidst the blue of Italian refinement and splendor would be still wondrous 111111 delightful. Ile has played in every public and many private orchestras in London, and would be caught at by any it he would take an engagement ; but it would be just as practicable to stein the tide as to bring poor Gough into the observance of a systematic attention to business; and he would at all times rather play for, pleasure than for money. Equally indolent in all his habits, he cares nothing about appearances, and is frequently mistaken for a Jew clothesmati, an Italian image-maker, a Methodist preacher, a ' Yorkshire horse-jockey, or • Dutch smuggler. In each of those opposite characters he is equally at home, and no one knows that he is Frank (lough, the eccentric fiddler, until he holds sweet dia. mum with his violin, in which his own soul seems for the time completely wrapt up. Regarded by many, and admired by more, fur dhow very eccentricities, lie generally has more calls than he can well answer, and more tuition than he can do justice to. The following anecdote is related of this singular personage : Mr. I'., a gentleman of fortune, residing in the neighbourhood Vinsbury.square, who haiebeen for sonic years the most favoured pupil of our Mus. Doe., was about giving a bridal party, in hu mour of his sister, who hod been newly Married. when it occurred to hint that the talents of Gough would prove a rich treat w many of his musical friends ; lie therefore engaged him for the occasion ; sod as he was willing that his old master should come out with the greetut eclat, he hinted to liough that he ought to make some al. teration from his contontary apparel, so as, at all events, to make (hinge look a little tnia , f before an brilliant an assemblage. Gough stared, appeared to feel piqued by this indirect censure on Ids outward man, yet finally promised to attend to the suggestion. The wile night arrived, the music saloon was thrown open, the isouthany, numerous and splendidly attired, were amusing them selves, ad interim, with the efforts of • very tolerable band, and all anxious to hear the celebrated Gough, who, however, had nut yet made his entre'e. The patience of the audience began to tire, and Mr. I'. conjecturing that some sudden caprice had kept this erratic star out of his constellation, was about to form the company into quadrille sets, when • loud knocking at the street-door announced the arrival of another guest. In a few seconds the saloon was thrown open by the servants, and a stately personage was ushered to the presence, whom every one peed at, though no one knew. pis dress might lie said to belong to no country or age, and yet partook of the character of all large bag wig, sumiounted with an immense toupee, gate some notion of a Frenchman of the Ilth century a small stock, of the old English fashion, with point lace ruffles, f ; ormed the ornamental appendages of the neck ; a vest of whits satin, curiously embroul:resl, and edged with gold lace, next caught the eye, as the wearer thew from one of the ample pockets a splendidly mounted snuthhoz, which he gaily tendered to the master of the ceremonies; the coat was not unlike that of a chief mandolin of the Celestial Empire, profusely ornamented with gold lace, and brood marl buttons of the finest carving ; the breeches were of yellow satin, puffed and slashed with purple ribbons; the stockings were white silk, having rich scarlet clocks half way up the leg ; and to complete this caricature of fashion, the shoes were exactly the Sallie as those worn at one time by the celebrated and somewhat singular Charles James los, having purple fronts and pink heels. A modern sword and modern hat were the only appur tenances of this nutre figure that belonged to modem times. With grave dignity he bowed to the truly astonished company, who sup posed he had dressed for a masquerade instead of an ordinary bail.l Mr. P. was equally guildhall, until on a closer examination of the countenunce he traced, in the altered lineaments, that of his old master, Gough, who hid just taken his place as premier amongst Apollo's taloa ere. The gentleman's astonishment was too great . to permit of any delay in inquiring the course of this miraculous trausformatimi ; " For God's sake," said he, " have you lost your reason ?" The fiddler hemmed, struck • chord finely ia tune, to.d replied, " No." Then, said Mr. I'., " why have you chosen such a dress as this, Frank?" With a look that bespoke the utmost complacency and self-satisfaction, Heigh surveyed his figure in an opposite mirror, and, exclaimed, " Mr. le, when you engaged Inc. you expressed a hope that I would try to look somewhat smart ; I have endeavoured to comply, and it' I don't look smart now, who the 41-1 does?" Further contention was vain, Mr. P. returned to the company, enjoined their silence, (lough resumed his si nation and, by a free exercise of his matchless talents, made ample amends for his singular conduct.

The smugglers, while crossing the sands between Monkom and the sea and passing by the farm of Fairfieldwains, wire beset by two or three sailors, who, on their way from Troon to Ayr. h..pnened unfortunately m ems. their path. Assuming the character of the men employed in the Preventive 1:M0 'V Ul4lll the coast, they first threatened to sriee the spirits which the smugglers carried with them, but at length compromised the duty of their Fro rented office by taking a note as a bribe to allow them to pass.

This execution took place last Monday, in a field near the Cross of fibinnagli, nine miles distant from Killarney, and very near the scene where the unfortunate Mr. Iftereton was murdered. Much time was consumed in meting the gallows, during which interval Cutter remained in the chaise, deeply engaged in prayer. After a lapse of three-quarters of an hour, the necessary preparations be ing complete, lie descended from the chaise,and walked from thence to toe toot of the gallows, where he knelt, and having slid a few prayers, he was about to mount the *militia, when it was discovered that his anus were not properly tied. In humanity to the unfor tunate man the defect was remedied, and he pointed to the eke eutitmer in which way to ettjust the cord. (In reaching the drop, and kneeling, be asked leave to address the assemblage, and spoke as follows : " I beg leave to say a few words t I acknowledge the jnstiee of my sentence ; I forgive toy prosecutors and my enemies, and this, man here (meaning the executitimr). I call noon the people to abstals from nightly meetings: it was by attending at these that I ant brought to this btte—and if others billow my example, they will come to a like end. I beg the prayers of those present, and may the Lord have mercy upon me !" Having stood up, the rope was finally adjusted, the drop fell, and in a few monientx life had left him, without even a straggle. On his fall there wan an exclamation of horror, and the inintense multitude fell simultaneously upon their knees, and offered up their prayers to the Throne of Clod for mercy upon the mis guided man. His family were witnesses of his execution t there were four or five brothers and ramie sisters present. On his being cut down, the brothers assisted in the melancholy office of placing his body in the coffin provided for it. which was taken to Tralee under the escort which conveyed him to the ecaffidd, in order that, pursuant to sentence, it might be dissected. The Iligh Sheritand his substitute were on the ground, as well as a ntinteruus assemblage of respectable persons, including the neighbouring clergy.—fork .frrconlile Chronit lc. • CORONER'S INQUEST.

At t'nlon ilnll, yesterday, a medical student, named Brookes, was brought before It. J. Chambers. P:sq. char:Tit with intruding up and down in front of the Coburg Theatre, dressed in woman's clothes. on Saturday night. Clarke, the officer who attends the Coburg, stated, that being en duty at the shove theatre on Saturday night, between nine and ten o'clock, he observed a lanky-looking personage promenading back wards and forwards on the pavement, before the box entrance, dressed in female attire of the most fashionable description. (The clothes were here produrcd, and consisted of an elegant Leghorn bonnet and plume of feathers, a 'splendid silk dress, together with a reticule and false front, adorned with a profusion f auburn ring lets.) This dress, Clark said, the defendant appeared in on Satur ' day night, and front his remarkable length (the defendant being upwards of six feet in height) , attracted together a multitude of people by his singular appearance. The crowd increaaingfast, and the accrues leading to the theatre being completely blocked up in consequence, he approaelitti the defendant in order to request that " she would move oil:" he (Clarke) conceiving it to be a visit from a girl of the town, who nightly walks on the north side of Holborn, between Leather-lane and I:ray's Inn-lane, nicknamed the "31onument.” Ile, however, on examining the defendant's featurts, diacovered his sex by a large pair of whiskers, and forth with put the question to the intendant, who answered in a squeak ing voice that he had as touch right ti; walk there as ail body else. Clarke said he thought the reverse, and procetaled to take him off' to the wateh-honse, which he had some diflieuny hi accomplish. ing, being followed by an immense mob at their heels, calling out " let the lady go ; you have no business with her." The de fendant, at the watch house, admitted his sex, stating that he had dr -'toed himself in ladies' clothes out of a bit of a frolic. The MAU ISTRAT —" 1 inn very glad he was IIICIL:41 up on Saturday night." Then, addressing the deferdiew, he 'steal hint who and what he was. The defendant replied, with a chop-fallen countenance, that be was a student of St. Thomas's lloapital, and resided in the neigh bourhood. where he was well known. Ile was prepared to brim forward penitent to answer tiw his respectability. Man IST MATE observed, that lie had acted in a very Coolish manner, dressed up in the gewgaw things just exhibited. The defendant stated, that the fact was, 04 the night in question he was at a party, 111141,1 number of ladies being present, it was pro potted that he should dress himself up in one of their clothes. An interchange of dress then took place, the lady potting on his, and he the lady's. After having exhibited liiniselt for some time, to the great amusement of the company, he thought he would hare a " bit of a lark," and aeconlingly slipped, unperceived, out of the brume, and walked down to the 'Coburg Theatre, where he was so unfortunate as to be picked up by a constable, and lodged in the wuteh-lintiar. lie now saw the folly of the thing, aud hoped the Itigiatrase would look (war it. The Ilortor was then discharged, and the clothe given up Ito him, un his promise of not publicly appearing in theca spin. DE•vn nv LIGIITNING.—At Leighton a fatal event bas taken place. Mr. Henry Samuel, of the Cross Keys lon, was em ployed with his son William, another son, and a lad, in preparing a field for its next clop, about a quarter of a mile from the town on the south side, when 119lliam and the lad were struck to the ground by a vivid flash of lightning. Mr. Samuel, on refoyering from the shock, saw the lad rising from the ground, and his son extended thereon with his face downwards, anti his stockings on tire ; having extinguished the flames he raised the hotly and found it to be a life less corpse. At this moment his agonies may he better conc e ived than described. It is supposed that the deceased had his hoe (with which he had been at woek) string his right shoulder when struck, which attracted the electric fluid, as the hair from the right side of his head was singed, and it had deseeinted on his breast to his feet, tearing in its pr.igreas his flesh and clothes.
