THE LONDON .1 OURNA LS. DAILY _Extracts from the Morning Yal►ers, Oct. 29, 1825. [NEW TIMES.] We last night received by Express the French papers of the 26th, with the Cours Authentique of that day.—Reports for and against the Greeks prevail in the stories that we daily have to copy ; but we do not thence form any opinion pro or con. The Greeks are getting into quarrels with European Powers, which is not wise on their parts. We are clearly of opinion, that nothing worth talking about will be done by the Greeks for themselves, and that they must look for pro tection to the Great Powers of Europe, who will grant that protection on considerations far diffe rent from those which actua'e the leaders of the insurrection there—and most particularly at srltri ance with the desires of those who have mingled io the Greek cause, from motives traceable to Cor!thill. We think, however, that a great crisis of Greek affairs is at hand—and our reasons for saying so shall be soon at thescrvice of our readers. Brazilian Papers to August ‘2l,.arrived yester day- They contain an official disavowal of the Convention lately made with the Chiquitos Go vernment, by which the Government of Matto Grossi) engaged to furnish troops to the Chiqui tos against the Independents. In consequence of this, it is ordered that " the illustrious Deputy, Commander , of the troops, Captain Manoel Vel leigo Ribiero•et Vasconcellos, marching with all celerity to the point which, in his prudence, he shall choose, shall dispatch the necessary orders for the evacuation of the above-mentioned Pro vince, taking the strictest measures that the de tactrtnent shall, in its retreat. observe the most strict discipline, and the most scrupulous disin terestedness." This proceeding, the official de claration of which we subjoin,_ may, doubtless, be _reckoned among the first consequences of Sir Charles Stuart's presence in Brazil. Let us hope that the same amicable and judicious influence may .prevent the mischiefs that threaten to result from the posture of affairs in the Banda Oriental. [MORNING POST.] French Papers to .the 27th inst., and the Eloile of Thursday reached us last night by Ex press. They contain little more than the details of the Sardinian expedition against Tripoly, ac counts of which, as it will be seen, arrived yes terday directly from Genoa. The only additional fact worth mentioning is, that the tribute claimed by the Bey did not amount to more than 4,000 piastres, and that the day after the conditions of peace had been settled and accepted, a Neapo litan ship of the line, the Vesuvius made its ap pearance. Whether it came to bring payment of the demand of 100,000 piastres made on the King of the Two Sicilies is not stated, but the Bey anticipated opposition, and unwilling to re ceive a second lesson at the cannon's mouth, im mediately consented to receive only the usual annual sum of twelve thousand piastres, which was paid' to him, though there' is no doubt that if any' stand had been made, the claim would have been altogether renounced. The Dutch were the first to submit to this Lnposition, though from their not being a Me diterranean Power, it might have been ex pected that they would have felt less disposed to conciliate the favourof Barbarians. Unfortunately for them, they paid a tribute of 5000 piastres the day before ‘ the Sardinian squadron emancipated all European States who chose to follow the ex ample given them, from the yoke of the Barba rians. Had they waited a few hours longer they would have obtained a receipt in full without making' any disbursement. [THE TI M ES.j We some time ago mentioned the capture of Danabew and Prome, by our Indian army, (the account of-which reached this country by a Swe dish vessel), and we to-day publish the official dispatches confirming our success-, and detailing the circumstances hr which it was accomplished. Donabew was captured on the 2d of April without much loss on our part, though during the siege, whiCh lasted some days, the enemy are described as having made several boldand desperate sorties on the British lines. In one of these attacks the Burmese seem- to have conceived that they could surprise or alarm our troops by a charge of ele phants'„ but the' time had gone by for the employ ment'of such unwieldy and inefficient auxiliaries. The enemy had left the fortress before it surren dered, having previously-lost their commander, Buttdoolah„ to whose death is ascribed the panic which ended•in the submission of the place, and the dispersion of the garrison. The fall of Dona bew and the, death of Bundoolah rendered the capture of Prome an exploit in which little dif ficalty and no resistance was encountered. In this latter place considerable magazines were found'--a circumstance-the more fortunate,as here, it •is presuMed,the-campaign will end. That this should be,the second campaign, and that meeting with uniform success, we should still have no cer tainty that it is the last, is a'view of the contest by tiarneanscousolatory. The Burmese,tltough beaten at .points, seem not to have learnt that the natural consequences of defeat is submission, and ti at they cannot fight, they should try ,to ne gociate. Towns and fortresses may be taken in ttig Ourmap_ dominions, and royat salutes may be fired at Fort William ; but the least indication of a :returning desire for peace on the part of the BurifitS4 people would be worth more to our Indian Empire than a dozen, victories over an enemy at once passive in their resistance, and persevering in their hostility. IMORNING lIERALD.I The French have of late years frequently corn plained that their domestic er party politics were taken up as common property by the politicians of Europe, especially-those, of England. On the banks of the Thames every man,conceived that he had a right to lecture and reprove the French for their party disputes -and their choice, of Ministers—who yet would have thought it ex treme presumption and impertinence in a French man to interfere between an English Ministry and Opposition, Whigs and Tories. The French seem now determined to retort. They have taken up, in the Paris Journals, Irish Catholic politics, as matters proprii Juris—and it would appear as if it was intended to establish at Paris, a Committee for the Relief and Redress of Irish Catholics, similar to the Committee of Protestants established in London some years since, for the protection of the French Pro testants, then persecuted in the South of France. This appears matter of deep policy rather than of national sentiment or retaliation. It is evident that the minute attention given by the French Journals to Irish affairs is not without an object —and it is the more interesting and curious, that the Journals which keeps its eye constantly upon Ireland is the most accredited by the Ministerial Journals—the favoured organ of M. de Villele— the Etoile. The minute information and details of the proceedings in Ireland, given by this Jour nal are evidently the fruit of particular and atten tive research. Statistical details, for instance, re specting church property, and the proportion of Protestant and Catholic population are put forward with prominent and invidious minuteness. The truth is that this Journal—the demi-official organ of the Ministry of Charles X.—treats the vul nerability of Ireland in the style rather of an enemy than a friend, as if on the eve of war.— There are,in fact, two leading interests in France, which seem equally engaged in the affairs of Ire land—the political ultras, composing the Ministry, who seem already disposed to cultivate an alli ance within the United Kingdom, in the appre hension of a war, and the church party, which looks to Ireland as a theatre in which the Ca tholic religion may be vindicated and promoted. These remarks, it is true, are suggested merely by articles in the French Journals—but be it remembered that the Journal which takes the chief share is a Ministerial one. But this is not all. Every encouragement is given to Irish Ca tholic students, and the endowments for their education, suppressed during the revolution, have been restored for their ancient purposes. It is well known in Paris, and openly avowed, that the present French Cabinet is disposed to culti vate relations of close intimacy with the Irish Clergy especially. It may be said we are on the best terms with France. But will this last ? The observation that " France was the natural enemy of England," has been censured as illi beral and unphilosophical, but it is not the less true. The period of peace approximates alarm ingly to the longest for the last 200 years, during which period it is that the art of war and the law of nations, have made any real advances in France. tuarrisit PRESS.] By the Brazil packet, yesterday, Rio de Ja neiro Papers were received to the 21st of August. They bring an important announcement, viz. the official disavowal of the convention lately made with the Spanish Authorities for-the union of the province of Chiquitos, in Upper Peru, to the adjoining district of Matto Grosso, in Biazil.— The military occupation or this province by the Brazilian forces had nearly provoked a war with the liberating army, undet Genvrat tixtcre.-- The Brazilian Government, however, have ordered it to be inatnediately evacuated, and have condemn-, ed in strong terms the rash conduct of the Gover nor of Matto Grosso. This prudent resolution, and the judicious tone of moderation in which it is communicated, may in, all probability be as-, cribed to the salutary influence exercised by Sir C. Stuart, whose presence in that part of the world will, we have no doubt, be attended with the most beneficial results at this critical juncture. A com mission has been formally appointed to confer and treat with his Excellency on the irnyortant negotia , tions now pending. A nlmperialDecree has been is sued relative to the Mining Associations in Bra: zil, complaining that the grantees have abused their privileges with the view of promoting their private interests, and directing that their proceed ings shall be investigated. We do not under stand what is meant by the charge. Of course psivate interest was the leadin g motive with the grantees. The question is,. whether they have violated the terms of their contracts. If they have not, his Brazilian Tqajesty has no right to find fault with them because his Ministers may fancy that the interests of the empire might be better served by following another mode of transacting their business. The Decree, how ever, renews the Imperial pledge of good faith with respect to the grants. [iIORNING CHRONICLE.] Letters from Asturias, received by the last Mail, mention, that the usual severity against the Constitutionalists had materially relaxed. The several Members of the Junta of Government in Oviedo, the capital of the above province, named at the time of the re-establishment of the Con stitution, and who had been confined in prison for the last two years, have been suddenly released on their own recognizances. The two parties of the Freemasons and A nilleros have joined the old par tisans of Joseph Napoleon, for the purpose of opposing the influence and designs of the Clergy, and supporting the views of the Government, which is gradually becoming more moderate. It is stated that matters were not sufficiently matur ed in Madrid for the publication of the Decree of Amnesty, or the appointment of the new Mi nisters, all the arrangements for counteracting the plans of the Carolists not being y e t made. Yesterday was a holiday at both the English and Foreign Markets. A considerable assemblage. of brokers and jobbers took place in the morning at the Royal Exchange. The Consols for Account, quoted at 8761, were looking very heavy. In the Foreign Stocks there was little doing, but the tendency of the Market was for a fall, in consequence of the heaviness of the Consol Market. In Shares there was a great gloom. Real del Monte Shares sold at 601. and were reported at par. The others were nominal, but Thursday's prices could not be obtained. The letters received from the country on Thursday were looked for with some anxiety, on account of the recent failure in London, and its consequences. At Liverpool there have been no failures: At Manchester, Leeds,. and Bir mingham, some failures are anticipated, but none to any ex tent. The failure was at the close of yesterday ascertained to be to the amount of between 450,0001. to 460,0001., that is to say, somewhat under, instead of over,• the sum at which we first stated it.—Vbid [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] We are glad to see, by the Brazil Papers, which arrived yesterday to the 21st of August, that one very grave cause of misunderstanding be tween that Government and the neighbouring republics has been removed. In an official ar ticle, published at Rio the 6th of the same month, the occupation of the Province of Chiquitos, in Upper Peru, is formerly disown ed in the name of the Emperor; and the Of ficer, who has committed the offence, is cen sured, and ordered to evacuate the Province immediately. This conduct is denominated the effect of " indiscreet zeal," and a harsher motive, now that the circumstances are explained, would be misplaced. This prompt reparation on the part of the Emperor will, we trust, not only heal the smart, which the unauthorised proceed ings of his Deputy may have caused, but will go far towards obliterating the ill-will with which he has inspired the neighbouring Powers. The Emperor has now the good fortune to have near him an able and disinterested adviser in the person of Sir C. Stuart, and if he will but honestly consult him, he may rest assured that his affairs will proceed more prosperously than they have done for some time past. In the mean time, the negociations with which our Minister was immediately charged, had been put in train, and the conferences commenced al most immediately after his arrival. As they were not brought to a close when the last advices left, we may infer that the subject is more intri cate than is generally imagined ; though there seems to be no grodnd to doubt a fortunate issue. The principal difficulty consists in the disposal of the Crown of Portugal and that of Brazil, in the event of the demise of King John, as it must strike all parties that a union is impracticable. If, however, the King of Por tugal, or his son, entertain a different opinion, they will learn their error, when it may be too late to repair it ; and in the mean time, it should be the study of our Government to undeceive.— Any Treaty between the two Crowns, based upon any other principle but the absolute inde pendence of the Brazils, would become a dead letter, before the ink with which it was drawn up had well dried ; and as we feel an earnest desire to see both countries happy, we strongly deprecate all attempts to unite them, either now or hereafter, under the same Sovereign. EXTRAORDINARY CASE ojI3URG LAR.Y• On Sunday, the 23d of this month, two persons dressed in the most respectable manner, came in a one-horse chaise to an inn at Hampton-court during the time of divine service. Now among the several persons who have separate sets of apartments in the palace at that place, is one who is a white- , smith, and bell-hanger, and who has been in the habit for a considerable time of going every Sunday to Mr. Rowland Hill's chapel in the Blackfriar's-road, and leaving his apartments locked, without any person being in them. Most remarkably he stayed at home last Sunday ; and as he makes it a point, from religious motives, never to answer a bell on the Sabbath day, though at the outer door there was a loud ring, he paid no atlistion to it. At a second pull of the bell lie simply looked out.'at an .upper window,and saw two gentlemen standing at his door. Shortly afterwards he heard the outer door open, when he immediately locked a second door in the passage, and re treated to his sitting-room. Scarcely had he entered there when he heard also the second door open, on which he locked the door of his sitting-room, and stood behind it. Almost immediately afterwards he sees a skeleton key turning in the lock. On this he pushes a private bolt. The person on the .outside pemeiving that . there Ass some otter obstacle besides the lock, hail then recourse to.-alie usual instruments, a screw driver, and a short iron crow, denominated, perhaps from its size and its neatness, ajemmy. The son of Vulcan within ob serves, not without dismay, the roint of a screw-driver, which from its mutilated point he reognizes for his own, make its appearance, then the crow takes the hold. This lie sees three times repeated, when with violence the door flies open, and one of those gentlemen stands before bins face to face. " What do you want here ?" cries the inmate. On this the in truder quickly runs down stairs, gives the alarm, and his companion follows him from an opposite room into which he bad entered, and where he had pulled out two drawers, and emptied a box of linen, which was left on the floor. The old man, as well as he was able, pursued the two gentlemen, who first tried to escape into the,gardens, but being prevented, Walked deliberately through the barrack-yard, passed the sen iinek and with a quickened pace proceeded over the bridge, paid the toll, and then ran with all their speed. The hue and cry.being now raised, they were soon taken into custody. It ought to be known, that the old nsan applied immediately to the . officer on duty, who replied:that he had nothing to do in the business. In passing the bridge, one of these gentlemen was observed to throW‘into the river a bundle, which was subse quently picked up, and found to, consist of 14 skeleton keys.— These persons were brought for examination on Wednesday (the 26th) before the Reverend Dr. Sampson and Mr. Rich, both of whom are Magistrates for Middlesex as well as for Surrey, who folly committed them for trial at the present ses sions in the Old Bailey. Mr. Harman, and also Mr. IsaaLs, attended on behalf of the prisoners ; and after all the evidence had been gOne through, the former gentleman strongly urged, that as nothing had been taken: away, these persons should be admitted to bail; but this was over-ruled.i Extract of a Letter from Perpignan, dated Oct. 17.—" A girl about eighteen years old having died in the Commune of Cobestany, distant about three quarters of a league from Perpignan, the parents demanded of the Mayor his authority to have a grave opened near the place where the rentainsiof other Members of the family were deposited, ac cording: to custom. The Mayor granted the request, and the grave-diggers set to work ; but the Cure, pretending that the place where they were about to bury his parishioner was too near his windows, told the gra,ve.diggers that he would not perform the funeral service, or attend at the church. It was therefore decided that the grave should be made elsewhere ; and it was accordingly made by the wall of the cemetrey, opposite the Rector's house. This did not satisfy the Cure, who wished for the absolute deference of the parents to his authority, and that they would reject all interfence of the Mayor in the regulation of tke burial. The Mayor, how ever, to whom the pretensionscf the Cure were made known, ordered the grave to be mita. ili the place pointed out.— Hereupon the Cure complained t. to the Prefect and to the Bishop against the Mayor. The. Prefect wrote immediately to the Mayor, desirinp him to ipler . to Aloe wishes of the Cure, but he refused to do so. The twenty-four hours having at length expired, the body must be interred, but the Cure re fuses to perform the burial ceremonies. The Mayor calls upon the family to go with witnesses to the Cure, and duly note the refusal, and then orders the burial to take place with out his assistance. .The Cure complains to the Prefect, who orders the suspension of the Mayor, and that an officer should bear to him an order to that effect. But the officer sends back the order to the. Prefect, refusing to put it into execution ; as sembles the Municipal Council, and after informing them of • all the shufflings and tricks practised to embroil the function aries of the Commune, gives up to them the registers and municipal seal, and resigns his office. The Municipal Council followed his example, declaring that they would not act other wise than the Mayor and officer had acted, whose conduct they highly approved of; and that they would not resume their functions till the Mayor had been restored to his. We are in formed that both the churchwardens and the bell-ringer, not wishing to hold any communication with the Cure, resigned their offices also. One thing is quite certain, that the Cure, finding no person in the village who would serve mass for him, has been authorised by the Bishop to come to Per pignan to say it, which he does every day.—!

Yesterday William Harwood, aged 71, was put to the bar, charged with the wilful murder of George Barton (his grand son), aged 22, by striking him in and upon the left side with a dagger, and giving him a wound of the breadth of one inch, and depth of four inches, of which lie died. He was also given in charge on the Coroner's Inquest for manslaughter.—The circumstances attending this case, we have already said, has appeared in our Police Reports. The prisoner being called on for"his defence, presented a written paper, which was read to the Jury, and was to this effect : "My Lord and Gentlemen,—l loved the unfortunate boy too well to have intentionally injured a hair of his head. It is true he had frequently ill-used me and threatened to take away my life, and from his late dissolute habits and bad connec tions, there was but too much reason to fear he intended to put his threats into execution ; still my attachment for him was so great that I always forgave him, in hopes he would re claim. My house was open to him at all times ; whenever lie required clothes, 1 furnished him with them, and I never re fused to give him money when he asked for it in a proper manner. I had besides bequeathed to hint a considerable por tion of my hard-earned savings. Can any one, then, for a mo ment believe that I would have destroyed the object of my doating affection ; and have committed- the horrid crime of murder, just as I am about to sink into the grave ? The cir cumstances that led to, and attended this dreadful calamity, I refrain from relating, because they will be stated to you by the witnesses, and the narrative would give me unnecessary pain ; hut I can solemnly declare, that by arming myself with the dreadful weapon, my intention was only to alarm, and not to injure my unfortunate boy, and that the wound was uncon sciously given by me, when resisting his violent attack upon my person. I will not further trouble your Lordship, but re spectfully submit my deplorable case to the just and merciful consideration of your Lordship and the Gentlemen of the Jury." The Jury, after a moment's consultation, returned a verdict of " Guilty of Manslaughter, under circumstances of great provocation." The RECORDER. said that the verdict was a very proper one, and after an address to the prisoner, in which he recapitulated all the facts in his favour, sentenced him to pay to the King a ' fine of 405., and to be discharged. The trial to excite a very great interest, and its ter mination appeared to give great satisfaction to the crowds within and without the Court. The prisoner was a very decent-looking old man, and con ducted himself while in court with an apparently deep regret at the melancholy circumstances which had brought him there. ALLEGED MURDER. John Rankin, aged 26, was put to the bar, charged with the wilful murder of Mary Anne Hunt, on the 23d of September, by striking her several blows on the head with a board, and inflicting several mortal wounds and bruises, of which she im mediately died. He was also given in charge on the Coroner's Inquest for manslaughter. Mr. ANDREWS opened the case to the Jury, and in parti cular directed their attention to the evidence which would be given by the two principal witnesses who were to appear in support of the prosecution. These were the daughter of the de ceased and a woman named who were both present at the transaction, but whose accounts of it would be found to differ in some very important particulars. It would, however, be for the Jury to heat both, and decide to which of them credit belonged. The case for the prosecution was then gone through. The prisoner in his defence said, that the deceased had for several nights got very drunk, and annoyed him very much, and he could get no rest. He remonstrated with her, but in vain. He also declared, that on the night in question the woman struck him twice 'before he returned the blow, and when he did, the woman fell, but he could not say whether the injury she received was from the fall or not. _ _ _ Prisoner described himself as a labourer at a wharf, but his address and manner of delivering himself bespoke a person much above one of that class. No witnesses appeared to give him a character. At five o'clock Mr. Justice PARS began to sum up, and went through the evidence with great minuteness, remarking, as he proceeded, on the discrepancies between the statements of the two women, as far as they bore on the case. The Jury, after a few moments' consideration, returned a verdict—acquitting the prisoner of Murder, but finding him guilty of Manslaughter. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Yesterday Christopher Dickenson was indicted for publish ing on the 3d instant a libel on his present Majesty and ilii nisters. 111 r. BOLLAND stated the case for the prosecution, and handed in the libel, which was read, and was nearly as fol lows: " I, Christopher Dickenson, having suffered nearly ten years by an unjust and tyrannical law, and for seven years made ap plication to his Majesty and Ministers for redress, but received no answer: I-now issue my Edict, his Majesty having made an unjust and tyrannical law, and contrary to his Coronation Oath, I therefore prohibit 'George the Fourth, commonly called King, from reigning any longer; and I hereby appoint his heir and successor to reign in his stead. (Signed) "C. DICKENSON." The Learned Counsel then called Samuel Reynolds, who stated that he kept a stall near White hall, and on the ad instant saw the defendant draw out of his pocket some papers, one of which he stuck up under a Procla mation ; he took it down, and got it read by a man, and on bearing the contents considered it high treason ; he immediately followed the defendant, and there being no officer, he took him into custody. The CHAIRMAN.—Have you any Counsel, or have you any thing to say ? Defendant.—l have no Counsel ; they have taken my papers ; I cannot make my defence without them. The CHAIRMAN ordered the papers to be given to the de fendant, who made no defence, but seemed to labour under great imbecility of mind. The Learned CHAIRMAN then addressed the Jury at consi derable length, in which he dwelt strongly on the state of the defendant's }Lind. The Jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty, but con sidered him not sound in mind. _ _ ...... The defendant was ordered to be kept in custody till a future day, when he would be brought up for judgment. SWINDLING. MARY-LE.IIONE.---Some further investigation of the swindling transactions in Gloucester-place was entered into at this Office yesterday ; but, as the parties are not in custody, we think it would be improper to give the particulars, as their publication might tend.to defeat the ends of justice.— We may state, however, that several tradeSmen who had sent goods into the establishment, attended yesterday to ask the Ma gistrate's advice. They stated that they had been to the h ouse i n Gloucester-place, but that the officer left in possession by Capt. Burton had refused to give up 'the goods. They therefore wished the Magistrate to cause them to be given up..-Mr. RAW Lixsort said he certainly should not make any order of the kind. lie should advise:Mr. Burton not to give up any of the property; for by doing so he would be laying himself open to actions from the alleged swindlers, whose property it was. When a tradesman had once delivered his goods to any person upon credit, they became the property of that person, and if he failed to pay for them, the tradesman had no remedy but by civil action for the debt, " Were it otherwise," c o n ti nue d th e 'Worthy Magistrate, "' a tailor, if dissatisfied with his debtor, might claim the coat oil' his back in the publi c s t ree t s ; an d if the law justified such a claim, I am afraid half the people in London would be without coats."

ALARM OF FIRE AT THE COBURG THEATEr. On Thursday evening, during a p e rforme nce to for the ben e fit o f th ree o f th e actors belonging the Cobur g Th ea t re , considerable terr or prevail' ed throughout the house, in consequence of,lae alarm of fire being raised in the gall er y - too.l 1,, moment the report was heard a genera l nisi' place from all p ar ts o f th e Theatre doors, during which several persons were thro.w. down in their eagerness to reach the outside: During the consternation that suck an alarm the ' calculated to produce on the audience, screams of females and children, particular from the pit and gallery, both of which we re , the general crammed to excess, heightened belief that some part of the Theatre Was 09 f fire, Which would soon extend itself to the body of the house. Amidst the fear thus occasioned, aP: wards of 150 persons out of the pit, rushed on t" towards the the stage, while 300 more gained the road 1 0 of and front of the Theatre, from other parts house. The actors then on the stage ceased, a" until at length Mr. Davidge, the the performance was suspended for some minutest steped f orwar d on th e stage and addressedthe remaining part of the audience, assuri n nt s them that there were not the slightes t g r Which for the report of fire being raised, appeared at first to have issued from the gal ' lery. The audience, he said, might reo Per. fectly satisfied that no'danger was to be a„P; pretended, as no accident of such a natu re 10° 11 likely to lead to the calamity of fire bad At t occurred during the whole evening in any P‘err of the house. And he now came for war iVs Manage r : p the purpose of stating this, as well as to eu er , t reward of 201. to any person who would pelpt out to the officers in attendance who the m iscreant was that first gave an alarm of fire. This state' ment had the effect of subsidiug a ll further °r prehensions, when the audience again ITO ru their seats, and the performances n'eli t Fortunately no accident of a serious no" occurred when the general rush took place wards the doors ; however many li:livid° both male and female, lost their hats, caps, b en t ' nets, and shoes in the scuffle to gain the Stre e _ t Subsequently, it was ascertained that the rep o' s _ of fire being raised throughout the theatre a rose in consequence of some persons seated in the ba c ,, of the gallery, the ceiling of which is eetrerne';', low, calling out " Lift up the scenes higher the latter word being frequently r e p eated, audience mistook it for " fire," thus occasioaieb° a panic throughout, that was so like l y to lead t accidents of a dreadful nature, but which fortr, nately did not take place, chiefly owing to the ther cumstance of the wide passages leading into o theatre.
