The ha, lighted up with extraordinary magnificence, might °stain nearly 5,000 spectators. Scarcely had the song co mmenced whew a sudden panic seized on all the assistants, sad in a few seconds every one was seen endeavouring to t ope a danger of which no one knew the character. A finessed versions are given of the cause of alarm. The aos t simple, sad, consequently, the most probable is, that a cense, in one of the hosts, found herself taken ill. Those near her called for water, the call was repeated from sae to another, and. for no other cause, it was supposed the building was on fire. In a moment the confusion was at its height, and the disorder such as to set all description at &fiance. The Royal Family, which should have been guarded by ream belonging to the Household, were not exempted from the general alarm. They were placed in the midst of the hall, in that part which forms ordinarily the pit of the Thestre, and, consequently, in the midst of the spectators, hat wirroundeil by their Household.

The Cantata was finished without any other serilests than what were inseparable from a scene of such creasers, in the midst of so large an assembly. *hes the first alarm had subsided, the conduct of the Qom lithibited a touching spectacle to all who had the psi Wass of witnessing it.

' We Lite sustained a rest lois by the death of the celo.' bisiliGiovanni Maria Linquiti, Director of the Royal for the insane at Aversft, whose name is so honour • Illen In Europe. He was horn at Mulfitta in 1744. Noun very early distinguished by his learning, and at ht studied the law, but soon left it for a monastic life in liseenvent of the Serviti. Being afterwards obliged by *list erects to lay aside his religious habit, and assume • it gII secular priest, he was received as a friend iu the the illustrious Berio, Marquis of Salsa, in whose he bad an opportunity of extending the sphere of bowledne, especially in what relates to the physical Naliaaral nature of man, of which an irrefragable proof "ashen by the first volume of his Richerche ,salt Alters raw seentale. But the origin of h:s great reputation is to be dated from the time of his being appointed to direct the Royal Asylum at Averse. Liquid wax one of the first who perceived that insanity, %disease peculiar to the reasoning animal, man, having its origin in reason, never entirely departs from that origin ; that the insane are not so in every thing, or at all times; Out we can, and ought to try to, restore their reason by tenon; and that the chief, if not the only, medicine in an hotpiil for the insane, is the ]ominous intelligence of the lithos who directs it. The principle which guided Linquiti in the treatment of lunatics was founded on their education. He leeean by mulcting them as sane, took care that every one should fillow the usual exercise of his art and condition, and established his new system of cute on the bases of occupa tion and anauseinent--occupation for the versatility of the Aim of the maniacs, and amusement against the fixed ideas af the melancholy. The results of this method were so successful, that our new establishments of this description loon became celebrated throughout Europe. The health of Chevalier Linquiti bad been on the de dine frem 14115 to his death, which took place on the 17th Srpteinher last. his death was honoured with many tsars, but nothing could be more affecting than the funeral crentoni in the chapel of the asylum.

No. LXIV. The following letter was written by a Noble Lord to a young Lady on the eve of her marriage. It bears date May 1785. There is a vein of manly sense runs through it, strongly characteristic of a man of reflection well ac quainted with the world, and giving with sincerity advice, the value of wl_•ich is by no means confluttl to the female to whom it is addressed. It contains instruction of lasting importance to the whole aex on the interesting topic to which it relates. " My dear Miss M.—lt is not in my power to add any thing to the good seise and solidity of the reflections con tained in your letter to my wife. The rational plan you have there laid out, for your future conduct, will not fail to secure to you the esteem, love, and respect of a man, too well acquainted with the world, to undervalue so much prudence and discretion in a young wife. I believe, how ever, that most of your sex, on the eve of matrimonial en gagements, mean and intend to act well ; but, few having the advantage of your understanding, many are soon mis led by misconception, levity, or, the worst of bad coun sellors, those of your own sex. To resolve well is no thing ; the difficulty is to persevere; or, as Lee, the poet, much better expresses it, to be obstinately good. The word obstinately contains alone more meaning, energy, and pith, than half the volumes which have been written on the subject. I repeat it, little can be added to what your own foresight has already suggested to you ; but, as the engagement you are contracting is of the utmost import ance to your future welfare. I will, since you do me the honour to ark my advice, subjoin a few remarks, the fruit of long experience and some observation. " Let respeetabilite be your aim sod object ; be respect. able in your connexions, in your acquaintance, in the ma nagement of your family ; but, above all, in the choice of your intimates. The world, in general, will be guided in their opinirn of your character by the characters of those ' you select as objects of your friendship and confidence ; your husband, moreover, will respect and consider you in proportion as he perceives you considered and respected by others. Airs, haughtiness, and pride, are net unfre quently mistaken for dignity ; as roughness, ill manners, ' and brutality, in our sex, often claim as frankness, courage, and manliness—you will not mistake them—you have a friend in the world, and a very sincere one, who possesses this happy gift of assimilating this respectability with the best nature and the most winning affability :—I need not name her. " What I have been saving seems to me very important, and deserves 'your serious consideration ; but what relates immediately to your husband is still more so. " Let me entreat you to consider the first year after your marriage as a year probation, a time of trial, of novice ship; every action, every step, nay, every word, will have its weight in the scale of your husband's future trust and confidence in you. Consider, in this interval he will nearly have settled his opinion of your prudence, your discretion, and your worth. I would by no mear recommend cunning :-cnnning stanch to prudence, as hypocrisy to reli hypocrisy, implies a sordid meanness hope and believe, that you have an elevation would spurn at duplicity and at every ' " From these great outlines in the wife, let me now proceed to the nicer lights and shades, to those minute without which 0-IL.. picture remains t require all, the patience, all the mini once of the artist. You are the artist sublime picture—but you must do more—' roine and a philosopher.

Collection, to call hi- tia f ' and you consul, disputes about silly sideration. I myself knew a man and best-natured of creatures, who, after a , and wise investigation, whether we have ten fingers, or only eight fingers and two thumbs, complained bitterly of each other's monstrous ill usage, and concluded, by proposing a separa tion, the wife from the worst of husbands, the husband from the worst of wives. Luckily their heads were sound, as their hearts were good ; both were struck with the dangerous tendency of such foolish altercations, and re solved in future to avoid them. Are you capable of check ing a rising flush ?—of swallowing a provoking word ready to burst from your lips ? if you are equal to such fortitude, to such heroism, you are, in my estimation, a ,great philosopher ;—in that of your turkey-cock you will be an—angel. " More fortitude still may possibly require your exer tions, if ever it should so happen (and this may happen to the most virtuous woman) that you perceive your mind too much employed in favour of another man ; yourself too much disrosed to dwell on his good qualities, on the gen tleness, the amiableness of his manners, on his disinterested attentions to you ; if you feel such a man insensibly creeping into your affections—no hesitation—fly, if possible, from him, as far as from pole to pole—no confidante, more par ticularly no female one—bury the secret in the remotest receosof your soul; and let your virtue and honour watch over it;—conceal your weakness, not only from the object of it, but from the whole world ; nay endeavour to conceal it from yourself—indulge not yourself, under pre tence of fortifying your virtue, in gloomy thoughts about your supposed misery ; that will not fail to increase the evil. On the contrary, amuse, dissipate yourself ; laugh at your own folly ; treat it cavalierly, and the illusion will soon cease—one serious resolve, however, must be firmly made, resolutely kept, and which no consideration must forego—the determined, fixed, unalterable resolution, of never, never, never trusting yourself alone with the man of whom you feel yourself afraid. " I perceive that this letter is spun out to a considerable length ; the warmth of my wishes for your happiness would dictate a great deal more, but it is time to conclude it. " 1 have hastily thrown on paper such thoughts as have occurred to me ; they have no pretension to novelty, ele gance, o; even order : they are wriueo solely with a view of being of some little advantage to you. Ma/ you de serve, by your prudent conduct, to be happy ! this "is my ardent wish. I have the honour to be, with great respect, dear Madam," &c. THE WINTER ROBIN. A suppliant to your window comes, Who trusts your faith, and fears no guile : He claims admittance for your crumbs, And reads his passport in your smile. For cold and cheerleis is the day, And he has sought the hedges round ; No berry hangs upon the spray, Nor worm, nor ant-egg, can be found. Secure his suit will be preferred, No Peon his slender feet deter ; For sacred is the household bird That wears the scarlet stomacher. CHARLOTTE SMITH.

THE BRITISH PRESS. THE MIRAMICHI CALAMITY. - We have greet pleasure in stating, on the authority of a letter received yesterday from Miramichi, that Sir Howard Douglas, the Governor of New Brunswick, on receiving intelligence of the dreadful catastrophe at Miramichi, with the most laudable promptitude bad hastened to the scene of the dreadful calamity, where he arrived on the evening of the 4/th of October. The arrival Of hie Excellency was a complete surprise upon the distressed inhabitants, who had no anticipation of the visit. The most lively demonstrations of gratitude, for the at tention thus paid to their situation by the Chief of his Majesty's Government in that settlement, were given by all classes. The assurances of relief, to the utmost practioahle extent, given by Sir Howard Douglas, are said to have re stored the confidence and the hopes of the surviving inha bitants, whose spirits had, u might be expected, been de pressed almost to despair. IVe regret to learn, by different communications, that the numbers supposed to have pe rished in the woods, together with the sufferers at Mirami chi, and Fredericton, are estimated to exceed even hun dreds ! The loss of cattle, and especially horses, will long be felt as an irreparable injury. Whether the fire in its rapid course has consumed the timber of the forest is not known, but on that fact will depend the extent of damage. If only the branches have been destroyed, without consum ing the trunks of the trees, the timber will have been ge nerally damaged, and of little value, yet still unprofitably incumbering the land. If, on the other hand, the timber al:ould have been consumed, the labour and expense of clearing the land will have been effected by this dreadful visitation. LIVERPOOL COM AI EagIiI L.

His colleague, Dr. Milne, since deceased, in June, 18512, joined his labours in preparing a complete version of the whole Bible foto the Chinese language. Although his death retarded its progress, it has since been completed for the press by Dr. Morrison, to whose abilities and competence for this very important task a handsome testimony was borne by Lord Amherst, in the presence of a deputation from the Bible Society, appointed to wait on his Lord ship previous to his departure for India. And in Dr. Morrisen's subsequent correspondence in 1823, it appears that 1000 Chinese New Testaments had just then been ap plied for by the missionaries of a new settlement, formed at Singapore in the year 1819 ; and that the Governor of Ochotzk had gratefully acknowledged the receipt of some copies which he had sent to that unfrequented part of the globe. "We have prepared the seed," sal Dr. Morrison, " to which, when extensively sown, we hope God will not deny his blessing." WESTERN LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION. Lag night a General Meeting of the Members of this Institution was held at Freemasons' Hall, for the purpose of receiving the Re port of the Proviaional Committee, and of redwing certain Rulea and Regulations by which the Institution was to be in tuture con- At eight o'clock the chair was taken by .Me. THOMAS CAMP. DELL, supported by the members of the Provisions' Committee, and a great many other gentlemen. The attendance of persons for wheate immediate advantage the Institution is princimilly established was very numerous. The CHAIRMAN rate to congratulate them on this their second public meeting, with most sincere and deepfelt sensations of sada ketiOn. When he looked at the prospects which were now before this Institution, he could only compare them hathat of a full sun. rise that had been preceded by a genial and promising dawn. He thought the public would be with them. and he was happy to find his anticipations realized, for the public were with them. The enemies to the dissemination of public instruction and public lite. rature were not now, thank God ! a. they were in ancient days, when barbarous Caliphs set fire to the Alexandrian Library, alleg ing that the precious volumes which formed it either contained too little or too much. (Cheers,) On neither of these Vretexts would inutility or bad tendency be alleged against their libriries. The Genius of ignorance and of prejudice might utter its fears or vent its spleen in secret against this Institution, but it dared not make Retire war against it. These were his ardent sentiments, as. he douPlied not they were those of every individual then present. But he would not interrupt the meeting, which was one of business, by indulging himself in declaiming up3n them, though h!'icould not refrain from declaring that they were the darling subjects of his heart. The object of the prisent meeting was to give them such information as the Provisional Committee was in possession of, re. eventing the number of subscribers, and the encouragement the Institution hail received from liberal and scientific men. It now became his duty to request that the Report of the Provisional Com mittee be read and after that the meeting would, with as little lose of time as possible, proceed to the consideration of those 'awe, for the forming of which the Provisional Committee bad Leen Jfi ' BITTLESTON then read the following Report, many pas sages of which were loudly cheered by the Meeting : , Your Committee having been instructed by the Revolutions of the public meeting to take all necessary measures to promote the objects in view, and to report to this Meeting the result of their proceedings, have the satisfaction to state that the number of mem bers who have, by the payment of their subscriptions, qualified themselves to vote at the present Meeting amounted, aerording to the latest returns received by your Committee, to the number of 411, many of them of distinguished rank in the state and in literature. "Your Committee, deeply impressed by the opinion that the pro sperity and perpetuity of every association of a voluntary nature depends essentially on the practical efficiency and utility of the laws ordained for Its government, have employed much of the short period of time which has elapsed since their appointment in digesting a Code, which they now submit to the consideration of this Meeting, in the confident belief that they will be found entitled to the approbation of the members. In the course of the delibera tion of your Committee various regulations framed by other Li terary Societies have been brought under their notice; hut your Committee conceive that the body of laws now proposed by them for adoption will be efficient in practice, and have thought it better to leave possible cases to be provided for as they may arise, than to encumber their present code by minute regulations which, when emergencies arise, might be found exceedingly inapplicable. II our Committee have received various communications in refer. ence to the objects of the Institution. Of these, they feel called upon to notice specifically the following offers of gratuitous ser vices, honourable alike to the gentlemen who tender them, and to s Institution to which they are made. Mr. Thomas Campbell, to whom the Institution is already has offered to deliver in the rooms of the Institution a she best means of prosecuting lierature ; Jaa. Mitchell, S., lectures on the terrestrial and celestial globe*. -{ of science ; Doctor 111•Intyre, F.L.S., has of a course of lectures on botany ; Mr. George of six lectures on the human eye ; Mr. A.

Rees, Ander. of Commeree; a small library, consisting of about . been presented to the Institution from the Society for Mutual , - anent . • Tiffs library is in the possession of the Honorary to your Committee, and is ready for the twat the Members, so soon as a proper place shall be fixed upon for Its reception. " Your Committee have been engaged in various inquiries re specting premises suitable to the purposes of the Institution ; but feeling tbat much consideration is necessary before any engagement of that nature is permanently formed, and being, since their ap pointment, occupied with business which admitted of no delay, they can only repass at present that they have engaged very spacious rooms, well adapted to the purposes of the Institution. in Sufffilk street, Charing.crosa„ belonging to the Society of British Artists. " Your Committee have further to report, that they have made an arrangement with the Editor of the weekly journal entitled the News of Literature. by which that publication will convey to the world the proceedings of the Institution. The members will al ways find in its columns notices of the transactions of the Institu tion when they may be unable personally to attend its meetings. The last number of the News of Literature contains a very accu rate report of the proceedings of the public meeting at which the Institution was formed and your Committee appointed." A Gentleman, in the middle of the room, moved that the Report be approved and adopted, which was done by acclamation. Mr. BITTLESTON then proceeded to read the laws which had been prepared by the Provisional Committee to be submitted for the adoption of the Meeting. Having read thirty-five rules, em. bracing the whole code for the internal and external regulation of this Society, Mr. B. said that the Committee had given every one of them the most attentive consideration ; and he felt assured that, If they were carried, they would tend to the corsummation of all their wishes regarding the success of this Institution. The CHAIRMAN rose to consult their opinion, whether the laws which had been read should be adopted. He would certainly on the one hand exhort any gentleman, who might have any particular objection to either of therules, to come fairly forward and state that objection; but on the other hand, as unanimity and concord were the very foundation and prosperity of all Institutions of this kind, he firmly trusted, indeed he was convinced by the respectability of the meeting, that no captious person would come forward, merely for the purpose of opposition. It was suggested that. as the rules were many, it would be better to have them read re, i rim, and unless any gentleman should ob ject to any particular role, they should be considered as adopted, without the necessity of putting them singly to the vote. On the first law being read, which went to declare that the title of the Institution should he, " The Western Literary and Scien tific Institution, for the diffbaion of Useful Knowledge among Per ions engaged in Commercial and Professional pursuits," A person in the body of the Meeting thought that the terms * commercial and professional" were too limited. There were, he said, a quantity of half-pay officers, who would be glad to join the Institution. Dr.MtTCHELL observed, that he considered such persons to be long to the highest sad most honourable of all profemions—the profession of arms. It was then suggested that the words "or other pursuits" should be added to the title. The CHAIRMAN thought such a phrase was objectionable, and that it seemed to him more sensible (if thee altered the rule as at present framed) to say merely that the object proposed to be ob tained was the diffusion of useful knowledge. But he must own that his belief was, that it wan necessary to give to the Institution a defined character, and to express by its name their opinion that it was particularly important to promote the diffusion of knowledge among persons engaged in professional and commercial pursuits. Thegreatest compliment thit country'a greatest enemy ever paid them was, to call them a nation of shop-keepers; and the spirit which led the people of this country to engage in general, professional, and commercial pursuits was the great reason of their national prosperity. He respected no man because he belonged to this or to that profes sion, but he thought that those who formed the great master-fea ture of this country had, he would say, par exceliewce et par earn. plairance, aright to hold the first place, and a distinct name, in this Institution. I Mr. CA !PUY: could not remember all that Johnson said. but he recollected that he defined a gentleman to bean idle person who had so employment ; he should hope that such persons would not be excluded from this Institution. A Al EMMA of the Committee observed. that the Institution was not of ao exclusive nature, but admitted all who were desirous to becom e its supporter.. The law was then agreed as originally worded. On the law which declared that any person making donations to the Institution either of money, books, philosophical or mecha nical apparatus. should become honorary weathers. A OF.STLEIIIIAN thought thy the word " donation," seemed to signify that the inatitution solicited foreign aid, and we-e too poor to supply their own funds. Ile thought a letter of ti arks would be a sufficient acknowledgement for anything that might be given to the institution. Another GICNTLEXAN conceived that the delicacy about re ceiving donations was quite out of place. They were not private individuals who bad tl t it phi ate feelings to consult. lie thought by adopting this law they would be merely giving persons an op . , tuartiinity to mlke donations to an Institution *ho,eitbkittylrlla diffution of knowledge, and which all liberal minds were ever anxious to do. The CH•IRMAN, amidst some confusion, pot the law to the vole, and observed, that unless some more weighty objections were made, it was impossible that the meeting could. be. eipectid to listen to such desultory conversation while so much b?itinest re mined to be got through. An individual of singular appearance made some observations as to the qualifications of a Chairman, and said something shoot kip r?k being like the Speake r of th e Ho us e of Commons, but etteirl not understand his object. On the seventh rule being pot, which required that after thietfay any person who wished to join the Institution meat heeecom. mended by two members of it— A Gentleman observed, that so the Society was not at present too large the recommendation required should be Rom one menitir only. Mr. G. Illefeettard said, that such a rule had. Mee adopted in the Mechanics' Institution, and that it had not had the rffect ap prehended by the last speaker, for that Institution now reckoned two thousand members. On the rule which declared that the property of the lintinstion should be vested in four trustees, by deed, being read— The CHAIRMAN suggested the propriety that a copy of such deed should be.laid before a general meeting for their approval previous to its being executed. It was finally agreed that a draught of the deed should be left w ith the Secretary for the inspection of such of the members as might wish to peruse it. Much desultory conversation took place on the rile whfch em. powered the Committee to expel any member for misconduct. giving such member a right of appeal to a general meeting of the subscribers, and declaring that if at such meeting the member ap pealing should not be re-admitted, he should never after be eligible to become a member of the Institution. Two amendment, weve at length adopted ; one of them limiting the power of lite Committee to suspension only, and the other requiring the membur who in tended to appeal to give twenty-one days previous notice therenf to the Secretary before the general meeting. The role, h iv i n g been all agreed to— Dr. MITCHELL moved a vote of thank, to Peter Noore, eer hindonation of lao volumes, and to all the other entlernen who had come forward and contributed to the funds and apparatus of the Institution, which was tarried unanimously. The DOCTOR then informed the meeting that the Cornmittee had engaged for three months some most convient rooms in &frolic. Street, Strand, belonging to the Society of British Artists, an thot they would almost immediately commence operations. But in order that this might be done it was necessary a permanent Commutee should he formed. It was therefore recommended by the Prnv sional Committee that each member should submit the games of those person, whom they might wish to be nominated on that corp mince. The balloding list would be ready on the 2d of December, and the election would take place on the fith, at the rooms in NC fOlk-street. and after that the Society would be eonipletcly organ. ized, and they might go to work immediately. Mr. Sk LLTON thouolit that, in order to give a permanent chg. racter. to Me institution , every endeavour should be made toob tain for theniaelveri a building that should comprise every cop. venient requisite for the purposes of the institution. With drat view he submitted that subscriptl ins should be opeued for a bead ing fund. He should therefore take the liberty of moving a resti tution io that effect. Dr.. cue Lt. seconded the resolution, and it was unanimously adopted. 3lr. W. BARWISE said, it was most gratifyieg to have arrivAd at this stage in the formation cif this institution ; nor could it be leas gratifying to the meeting that they should have had the pit tronsge of the Gentleman in the Chair—one who deserved ao mush from the literary world, and whose fame had so Evspread itself, that While it gave a character and weight to the institution. it As. sorsa them of its success, and made them feel that their " not. sores of Mope" were alre ady realised. ,Cheers.) He conciddei by moving the thanks of the meeting to Thomas Caumbekt, E. their able and eloquent Chairman. . The motion was carried by acclamation. The CHAIRMAN felt that he ought in decency to offer timm 1111 thanks. It would be arrogance in him if he could depart from an many of his fellow-citizens utter such an expression of their feelings towards him without confessing that it touched his heart very sen sibly. On his entering the former Meeting, he was suddenly at tacked upon the subject of the Provisional Committee, end he had great feelings excited within him to which he could not then give vent. In company with many others who felt deeply for the prosperity of this Institution, he was attacked on the propriety of becoming himself a Member of that Commiwee; and, it seemed as if those gentlemen who were nominated to form it were considered incompetent, because they had not printed poem., or made speeches in Parliament, (A laugh) and it was proposed, that he should be tobstituted for one of these gentlemen. This treatment suggested to him the fol l Owing comparison :—Suppose a man who, like himself, was " living in single blessedriesi,' should he thrown into Ms soeifty of an amiable young woman. to whom he paid those palita tend gallant attention, which it was very likely for him tedo ; and then hie parents should address him thus these i—arby,g r e f ik t are sin cere in COMIONIIMNR, you ens — ratin woman. (Laughter.) Feeling himself somewhat od, be certainlyg should, if thus addressed, have said. with (Whelks-that he wet declining into the vale of years, and would rather not. But how unreasonable it would be to say, that all his attentions ,to this young woman were insincere because he would not marry her. ft was equally unjust to say, that because a person could not sit upon • Committee, he was therefore unfriendly to this institution. Be sides, lie well knew that Committee duties, like conjugal duties, admitted of no substitutes. (Laughter.) He was midi aware of many Committees constituted of persons who made theni their stalking-horse ; but, catch him on a Committee of that descrip tion I Ile believed he knew one or two gentlemen ,belonging to their Provisional Committee, one of whom had More intel lect in his head, and more friendship in his heart—though perhaps not so much phraseology upon his tongne—than almost any person he knew. ( Name ! name !) This is no Plvee to name him. (Much laughter, the gentleman alluded to being Dr. Place.) He (De. Place) was the first person who Kenai. mended this Committee to him, and he was sure that a Commiseee stamped by his approbation was certain to be well composed. The rules that had been adopted met his entire concurrence. (Hear.) He thanked them once more for the honour they had done him, and should not be doing justice to his feelings if he were to take hit leave af them without giving them his most hearty congratula tions. The meeting then ',mated. We observe with much pleasure that the subscription for Mrs. Belzoni is going on successfully. The present amount advertised exceeds 700!. a AN Imam NATIM—While the President WWI on hoard the steam-boat, on his way to this city, a well-dressed rud dy-complexioned man addressed him in these words I run an Irishman, Sir ; I understand you are the Pre sident of the United States, and I desire to have the ho nour to shake hands with you." " With groat pleasure, Sir," said Mr. Adams, extending hie hand, and shaking that of the person who addressed him. " May I ask, Sir," said the President, " how you like this country r " In deed, Sir," said the Irishman, " I like it very much ; like it so much, that I intend soon to become a native Philadelphia Papers. At the Mayor's Court, Philadelphia, lately, Charles Mitchell, a notorious old offender, was convicted on several indictments for passing counterfeit five dollar bilis of the Philadelphia Commercial Bank, and sentenced to an im prisonment, at bard labour, of twenty-one years. Upwtuds of 7,000 dollars, in counterfeit bills of that description. were found in his possession. He war also convicted of larceny in stealing a watch. It is said that this man fol lowed in tile train of General Lafayette, during his late tour throughout the Sonthern and Western States, and availed himself of the frequent assemblages of persons which took place during the General's visits, to commit de predations on the public. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday, as two geritles men, named Kay and Williams, were proceeding in a single-horse chaise along the Waterloo-road, on their arrival near the Coburg Theatre the animal, being very playful, was suddenly checked by the driver, when it instantly darted off, overturned the chaise, and precipitated both of them with great violence into the middle of the road. Mr. Kay received no material iujury in the fall, but Mr. Williams's kg getting entangled with the reins, he was dragged some distance, had his leg broken, and was otherwise seriously injured. Medical assietance WAS promptly procured, and, at first, amputation was thought necessary, but on inquiry yesterday, hopes were enter tained that he will recover without the operation. Balsams Acetotwr IN LORD LIVERPOOI...I I F?IMTLY. We are sorry to state that a dreadful accident happened at Lord Liverpool's residence, at Widmer Castle, on Tuestla). A servant of the name of Hawkins, who was cook in the family, had been out during the evening, and returned home in a state of intoxication. Upon retiring to his own room, one of his fellow-servants, of the name of Christopher West, followed him, and ohservipg him take a gun front the closet of the room, lie endeavoured to get it out of his hands, and, in the struggle, the gun went off, and lodged the contents in West's head, whereby lie was iimnatliately killed. There is not the least ground to suppose that Hawkins bore any malice or ill-will towards his unfortu nate victim. They were always considered in the fatni:y as particularly friendly towards each other, and there is every reason to believe that Hawkins did not even know that the gun was loaded. The Coroner's inquest was to assemble on Wednesday afternoon. West was brought ula in Lord Liverpool's family, anti had recently been promoted to be his Lordship's own servant, for his good conduct. The sad event has deeply affected Lord and Lady Liver pool and all the family. 1 ( his opinion or your prudence, your discretion, upon to nonce specifically the following offers of gratuit, The Lord Bishop of Chester held a general ordination vices, honourable alike to the gentlemen who tender them, •th.

SINGULAR RECOVERY OF PROPERTY. LIVERPOOL TOWN-HALL, MONDAY, Nov. 21. One of the most fortunate instances of the recovery of prrs,)erty that has, perhaps, ever been recorded in our co lumns, has been effected through the means of Messrs. H. W. and A. Franklin, of this town. We subjoin the fol lowing compressed particulars :—Some time ago a gentleman lost, in London, three Exchequer bills for 3,000/. Notices were immediately sent to the principal banking-houses in the kingdom; the property, however, was of that de scription, that no hopes could be entertained of its recovery. This day, after several previous intervieq/,>l fentlemanly looking personage, of about sixty, calling himself Lucas, presented one of the bills in question, in part payment for SOO doubloons, at Messrs. Franklin's office, in Dale-street, who immediately detected it as one of the hills lost. Nu merous questions were then put to him by those gentle men, to which he gave such replies as induced them to de tain both him and the bill. A private hearing was then obtained before Mr. Wright, the Magistrate, by whom he was also questioned ; but nothing transpired which afforded the least clue to the possession of the other two missing bills. However, in the course of the day, an individual of similar apparent respectability called at Messrs. Franklin's office, and inquired for Mr. Lucas (the person then in sus tody) ; suspicion was of course excited ; he was watched home to his lodgings, and the two remaining hills, for 1,0001. each, were found in his apartments. His examination took place yesterday (Tuesday), and, in consequence of the great curiosity it has excited, a number of gentlemen at tended the hearing, which took place in the Mayor's pri vate room. The second individual refused to reply to any question, and he was remanded for a future examination. Mr. Wright then, addressing the gentlemen present, begged to detain them a few moments, and remarked, he was glad of so good au opportunity to repeat to them, publicly, what he had haul die pleasure of expressing to Mr. Franklin privately, the high sense he entertained of his honourable in'egrity, and of the indefatigable disinterested attention which he had manifested in this affair. We since learn that one of the parties had applied to Mr. Joseph King, stockbroker, to negotiate one of the bills, and that Mr. King had actually tntended to purchase it ; and had also presented one to Mr. Simpson, our Collector of Excise, who would have received it had any duties been payable. Consi derable praise is due to the Messrs. Franklin, for their firm ness and persevering vigilance in discovering and detaining the parties ; as, during the absence of one of them in search of the police, the other was obligated forcibly to detain the person representing himself as Mr. Lucas. The offenders were taken before the sitting magistrate, am? were fully committed to Lancaster Castle—Liver/eel Cum, kr.
