Richard Keats, was born at Chalton, in Hampshire, on the 16th January, 1757. Entered the navy on the 25th of November, 1770, on board the Bellona, Captain John Montagu ; upon the promotion of whom to the rank of Rear-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief on the North American sta tion, Mr. Keats was removed into the flag-ship, the Captain, in 1771, and was afterwards actively em ployed in smaller vessels, two of which he com manded ; also in boat-service, and on shore in diffe rent attacks on the American posts till 1776, when he was removed into the Romney, the flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Montagu at Newfoundland. On the 7th April, 1777, he was made Lieutenant into the Ramifies, commanded by Commodore Mackenzie, md afterwards by Capt. Robert Digby, who led the fleet on the larboard tack in the action of the 27th July, 1778. In 1799 Captain Digby received the rank of Rear-Admiral, and Lieutenant Keats fol lowed him into his flag-ship, the Prince George, where Prince 'William Henry (his present Most Oracious Majesty) commenced his naval career, and in which ship Lieutenant Keats had the honour of being for upwards of three years officer of the watch in which his Royal Highness was placed. In 1781 Lieut. Keats was intrusted by Admiral Digby on the North American station with the command of the naval part of an expedition for the LON RUN, THURSDAY EVENUNG, / 's=l L lO. 1834.

CONFLAGRATION ON BOARD THE WILLIAM FAWCETT STEAMER. he was familiarly admitted, was decorous and po lite. ° He soon comprehended the use of knives and forks, but preferred a spoon, which he handled with as much ease as any child of seven or eight years old. On his arrival in England he soon be gan to sicken. During his illness he was removed to Bruton -street, where one of his favourites, I be lie* the cook, attended, as his nurse. He would raise his head from his pillow, turn his eyes on his attendant, with an expression as if entreating him to do something for his relief. He would at the same time utter a plaintive cry, but he evinced no thing like impatience or ill temper, and was corn passionated by all who saw him. He lingered on a few days, and gradually grew worse and worse till he died, not without the regret of his nurse, and the sympathy of us all.—Jesse's Gleanings in Na tural History. PRIVATE TUTOR.

We are truly sorry to have• to record a very ex tensive destruction of property by fire, which took place yesterday evening on board the William Faw cett, a steamer which plies between this port and London, and was then lying in her berth at the North-wall. The William Fawcett was one of the finest vessels belonging to the London and Dublin Steam Company, and from the expedition with which her trips have always been accomplished, and the attention and urbanity of her captain (Mr. Campbell), she has been a favourite boat both with traders and passengers. It is not, we believe, much more than a twelvemonth since she was fitted up in the most costly manner, in fact completely remo delled, several feet having been added to her length. This recent expenditure of money upon her renders the present occurrence the more deplorable. In a few days, SPECUL A T I O N. A Novel. CLOSING OF THE PRESENT EXHIBITION.

These Needles are perfected, after a long series of expensive and labt,rious experiments. Tt eir peculiar composition enables them to receive a greater degree of hardness without the usual brittleness, thereby permitting 'a more beautiful tapering of the points ; their eyes are better cons . ructed than any yet introduced, and (by a process known only to their Inventor) a bril liant silver polish is affixed to them, which not only renders them almost impervious to rust, but greatly facilitates their operation, whilst their extraordinary toughness renders them more economical than the old steel needles, even at four times their price. _ Sold tetail by most of the respectable dealers, and wholesale, or for export, by the Inventor, and only ma nufacturer, H.

Conolly travelled nearly over the exact commercial line that the Rus sians, if they sought permanent connexion with India, would occupy ; he is an intelligent observer ; he de scribes what he saw with a simple earnestness that at once stamps its fidelity ; and as he has no theory to support, he conceals nothing essential to be known in the discussion of the question. A better guide we could scarcely desire, and a more favourable time for the appearance of his work could hardly be wished. The author's first intention was to proceed to India through Khiva, Bokhara, and Cabul. He ac cordingly entered the country of the Toorkmuns or Turcomans, on the Eastern side of the Caspian. Lieut. Conolly and his friend were made prisoners by their treacherous guides ; but, after many difficulties and dangers, succeeded in retracing their steps to Astra bad. His reflections on the virtues liberally attributed by poets and novelists to the plundering tribes of Arabia and Tartary, and to the old marauding clans of the Scottish Highlands, are very judicious.

The fire, as we have been enabled to learn, was first discovered about half-past four in the afternoon, but from the difficulty which was then •experienced in getting under the flames, it must have been at its insidious work for some time previous. It is as certained that it broke out in the state cabin, but of its immediate cause no person on board can give any account. In all probability to some obstruction or over-heating of the stove which warmed that portion of the vessel, it may be attributed, with the greatest semblance of probability. Immediately upon the first alarm messengers were despatched to the various insurance-offices in town, and in a short time a number iiengineswere in attendance. Pre vious to their arrival, however, the fire had ob tained complete possession of the after part of the vessel, and raged with fury upon the extremely in flammable materials subjected to its influence. The men belonging to the steamer made several descents below in the hope of arresting the progress of the flames by flinging buckets of water upon them, but in vain, although they succeeded in saving some property. Nor had the more powerful volume of water from the engines much more material effect. An engine, after considerable exertion, was placed in a boat alongside the burning vessel, and plied with some success through the cabin windows ; but despite all these efforts the fire continued momen tarily to increase in violence, and fears began to be entertained that the forward portions of the steamer, which hitherto had not been touched, would be reached by the flames. At this period the hose of four or five engines were directed upon the fire, but although those were most effectively worked, it was found absolutely necessary to scuttle her, in order to prevent the conflagration from extending to parts forward. This was accordingly promptly done, and in a short time all apprehensions of her total de struction were at end. Nearly one half, however, and that the most expensive portion of the vessel, is utterly annihilated. It will cost many thousand pounds to repair the damage done, which we have heard estimated so high as 10,0001. or 15,000/. — Dublin Freeman's Journal. FUNERAL OF A TRADES'-UNIONIST. Much curiosity and excitement was caused here on Sunday afternoon, in consequence of the burial of a member of one of the ten Trades' Unions ex isting in this town. The deceased unionist was a young man, 26 years of age, named George Caplin, a journeyman carpenter, living in Red Cross -street, Trafalgar-street. He was unmarried, but his pa rents being both dead, he had for some years past been the supporter of three orphan brothers and one sister. He died of a decline, and previous to his death had expressed a wish that the members of the Union should follow his remains to the grave. Accordingly a little before three o'clock on Sunday afternoon, the members of the Unions, to the number of 400 assembled on the Old Steine, where they formed themselves into a regular order of proces sion ; each member wore a black and white rosette on his left breast, and each Union was preceded and followed by its own officers, wearing their scarfsand carrying white wands. At three o'clock precisely the procession left the Steine, the members walking two and two in the following order :—Carpenters, (the deceased being a carpenter, the Union to which he belonged, as a matter of etiquette, took the lead), plasterers, masons, painters (this Union admits as members, those who combine the trades of painter and plumber), stone sawyers and polishers, black smiths, sawyers, tailors, and shoemakers. The pro cess i o p n a ra marched de , past t r e e r a , st Church, regulari regularity n along ed Pavi lionrosCross- street, - street, where they halted. The corpse was then taken out of the house and borne upon the shoul ders of six carpenters, who, followed by the remain der of the melancho l y train, then proceeded down Trafalgar-street, along Marlborough-place, up Church-street, through the New-road, up North street, to the Old Church. The corpse was then taken into the church, and as many of the unionists as could also entered the sacred edifice, and after the prayers it was again brought out and comm itt e d to the grave, into which laurel w as d ro pp e d by th e unionists. The Rev. Vicar read the burial service. The greatest order was observed all the time by the members of the unions, and after the prayers a hymn was sung by some of the friends and rela tives of the deceased. The Unions then opened a path for the Vicar, who, as he passed through their ranks to the church, bowed to the various Unions, who politely acknowledged the compli ment. The procession then filed off through the western gate, and returned in the same order to the Steine, where they separated, and the various lodges returned to their respectiv e rooms an d de posited their various paraphernalia, and raised a subscription for the support of the orphans. The crowd to witness the procession and burial was im mense. The Unions altogether number 588 mem bers.—Brighton Guardian. ACCOUNT OF AN OURANG OUTANG On its return from India, the vessel which con veyed the poor' little ourang to a climate always fatal to its race stopped some time at the Isle of France to take in fresh provisions. The ourang accompanied the sailors i n th e i r d a ily v i s it s t o the shore, and their calls upon the keepers of taverns, and places of a like description. In one of these, kept by an old woman, who sold coffee, &c., for breakfast, the ourang was accustomed to go, unat tended; every morning ; and by signs, easily inter preted, demand his usual breakfast, which was duly delivered. The charge was scored up to the cap tain's account, which he paid before his departure. There was but one person on board the ship of whom the poor ourang seemed at all afraid. This man was the butcher. The ourang had seen him kill sheep and oxen in the exercise of his duty, and most probably anticipated from his hands a fate similar to that of his equally dumb, but not so in telligent companions. However, in order to conci liate the friendship of this dreadful dispenser of death, he made every advasnae, although it must be owned in a very singular" Manner. He would, for instance, approach him with great caution, examine his hands minutely, finger by finger, and finding no weapon, proceed by every little artifice to attract his notice. With the rest of the sailors he was on terms of intimate friendship, and no doubt felt him self entitled to all the attendant privileges, not un frequently to the annoyance of his companions, from whose hammocks he took such portions of bedding as he deemed necessary for his own com fort, and which he would by no means give up with out a hard contest; His conduct at table, to which RAPE.—A man of the name of Lattimer, a joiner, residing in Brampton, has this week been com mitted to our gaol on a charge of rape, under rather aggravated circumstances. The following, we believe, is a correct statement of the facts of the case as they have transpired :—A young woman of the name of M'Nell, a native of Scotland, was proceeding from this city on the evening of Monday last to visit her sister, who is married to a blacksmith employed on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, in the neighbourhood of Hayton. Being a total stranger to the road, and night overtaking her, she asked a person with whom she came up if he could direct her to her brother-in law's house. He replied that he was acquainted with the person she was in search of, and if she liked to accompany him as far as Hayton, they would probably meet with her brother-in-law at a public-house there which he was in the habit of visiting. To this the girl consented, and en reaching Hayton, inquiry was im mediately made at the public-house for her relation, but he was not there. The girl's situation being then made known to the company who were sitting in the house, two men, one of them the prisoner Lattimer, who had been engaged during the day in collecting some accounts in the neighbourhood, rose to accom pany her home, and they all three left the place toge ther. They had not proceeded very far when one of them suddenly seized hold of the girl, and threw her down ; and both of them, notwithstanding the resist ance she made, proceeded to ill-use her in the most cruel and shameful manner. The affair underwent a long and careful examination before the magistrates at Brampton, and the result has been as we have stated, the committal of one of the parties to gaol. The other man concerned in the disgraceful transaction has ab sconded, and yet eludes the pursuit of justice.--Car lisle Journal. CHESTER, MONDAY.—EXECUTION OF THORLEY FOR MURDER.—SamueI Thorley, convicted on Friday of the murder of his sweetheart (MarS , Pemberton), by cutting her throat with a razor, was executed this day. It will be remembered, from the report of the trial in The Sun of Monday, that the unfortunate man came to Chester, and surrendered himself on the morning after he had perpetrated the crime for which his life has been forfeited ; and no sooner was he secure within the walls of the castle than he began to prepare himself for that awful fate which he knew awaited him. Although for the sa tisfaction of his friends the form of a trial was gone through, the prisoner persevered to the last in avow ing his guilt, and his readiness to expiate the crime he had committed. At five o'clock this morning he was delivered by the constable of the castle to the sheriffs of this city, who by an ancient custom, the origin of which is now lost in the lapse of ages, are bound to see exe cution done upon the criminals capitally convicted in the county. He walked with considerable firmness from the castle to Glover's Stone, the boundary of the city, whee he ascended the cart prepared to convey him to the city gaol. At twenty minutes past twelve o'clock he was brought out upon the scaffold, the rope was adjusted, a portion of the burial-service was read, the fatal bolt was drawn, and this world closed upon him for ever. He struggled convulsively for several minutes, and, being a light man, hung a longer time than usual before life was extinct. After hanging an hour, the body was cut down, and will be interred within the precincts of the prison. Another of these painful scenes will be witnessed in this city on Saturday week, Mason's execution being fixed for that day. MURDER IN FRANCE.—A horrible mur der has been committed at the Batignolles. During Sunday it was remarked that admittance could not be obtained to the house, No. 12, Rue de la Paix, in habited by a respectable tradesman and his wife, the former about fifty, and the latter thirty-five years of age. The following day, in consequence of the pre mises remaining closed, the door was forced by order of - the Commissary of Police, when the bodies of the ill-fated inmates were discovered weltering in blood, the throats presenting frightful gashes, and the hands and faces bruised and' mutilated. The female must have offered a determined resistance, as her mouth was gagged, and only one finger remained on each hand. Her body was found in the bed-room, between two mattresses ; and her husband's :occupied a similar posi tion in his room. What lends a feature of singularity to this diabolical crime is, that though there was a considerable sum in money and other valuables on the premises, nothing appears to have been taken away or disturbed ; thus leaving it doubtful whether a desire of private revenge was the inciting cause, or whether the monsters, disturbed by the noise of some one pass ing in the street, immediately joining the house, were, by the precipitancy of their flight, prevented from add ing the crime of robbery to murder. A servant girl, who had quitted the family on Good Friday, was ar rested the day before yesterday ; but as nothing ap peared to criminate her, she was set at liberty.— French Paper. SUlClDE.—Lieutenant-Colonel Brooks, of Stafford, late of the East India Company's Establish ment, put a period to his existence on Saturday morn ing last, by shooting himself. The inquest on the body was held the same day at his house in the Broad Eye, by P. Seckerson, Esq. The Colonel's esta blishment consisted principally of his housekeeper and three female servants, resident in the house. The former, getting up soon after six o'clock, saw her master's chamber door open, and asked one of the ser vants if he was down stairs ; when she replied that she had not seen him. On going to his sitting-room door, they found it fastened in the inside, and not ob taining any answer to their calls, they forced the door. The Colonel was found sitting in his arm chair, in his night dress, quite dead. He had an unloaded pistol in his right hand, which rested on the arm of the chair; his head thrown a little back : two loaded pistols were on the table before him. It appeared that he had put the pistol into his mouth, which was shattered, and the ball had gone out at the top part of the back of his head. Behind him, on another chair, was found his nightcap, which, on being examined, was found to contain some hard substances, that proved to be the bullet and two pieces of -his skull, the cap having been blown off his head by the force of these projectiles. It appeared. from the evidence of the housekeeper, that she had attended him on his going to bed the previous night to leave his night candle, when he was sitting in his night dress and expressed considerable reluctance to go to bed. He said he was poorly, but refused to take anything, saying he should soon be better, and on his getting into bed she left him. She never heard the discharge of the pistol, at any period of the night or morning. On his table in the bed room was found his prayer-book, on the leaf of which were freshly written his name and age, "born 1787 ;" but this was erased, and " 1778 " (which was the cor rect date) substituted, and below this was written, " Died April 5, 1834, in hopes of a joyful resurrec tion." Dr. Knight said that he had previously attend ed the Colonel, who frequently said he was annoyed by the neighbourhood, that people conspired against him, &c. Verdict—" Insanity."

Town-clerk of the borough, destruction of numerous formidable boats of the enemy, about 14 miles up a tide river in the Jerseys, which was completely successful, and conducted with such skill and intrepidity that he was promoted to the rank of Commander on the 18th Jan., 1782, and appointed to the Rhinoceros, and afterwards to the Bonetta, till the peace of 1783. From ..the conclusion of the American war till 1785 he was employed on important services in America. On the 4th June, 1789, he was, at the pressing soli citation of the Duke of Clarence with his Royal Father, King George 111., promoted to the rank of Post-Captain, and shortly after appointed to the. Southampton, and in 1790 to the Niger. In 1793 he was appointed to the London, 98, destined for the flag of the Duke of Clarence, which ship was paid off in March, 1794. He subsequently commanded the Galatea and Boadicea frigates, in both which, particularly in the latter, he was actively employed in arduous, difficult, and very important services till March, 1801, when he was appointed to the Superb, 74. In this ship his services as Captain, Commo dore, and Rear-Admiral (to which latter rank he rose in Sept., 1807) were very conspicuous, espe cially on the 12th July, 1801, when under the com mand of Sir James Saumarez (now Lord de Sau marez), in the attack on the enemy's squadron, which ended in the destruction of two Spanish three deckers, and the capture of the French 74, St. Antoine; on the 6th February, 1806, under the command of Sir John Duckworth, in the capture, destruction, or dispersion of the French squadron off St. Domingo ; in 1807, at the blockade and siege of Copenhagen ; in 1808, when he succeeded in carrying off the Spanish army under the Marquis de la Romana from Nyborg. On this last occasion. his Majesty was graciously pleased to create him a Knight of the Bath. In the following year he was second in command in the expedition to the Scheldt ; and in 1810 was ordered to Cadiz, then besieged by the French, where his services with the squadron placed under his orders in the general defence of the place and serious annoyance of the enemy, by well planned expeditions and other prompt measures, were duly appreciated. In July, 181], his friend Sir Edward Pellew (afterwards Lord Exmouth) having been appointed Commander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean, Sir Richard Keats followed him as second in command, where he remained until ex treme ill health compelled him in October, 1812, to return to England. In February, 1813, having somewhat recovered, he was appointed to the go vernment and command of Newfoundland, with an assurance that if his health should be restored more active employment should be assigned him. He struck his flag in 1816, and retired into Devonshire. In 1821 he was called to the government of the Royal Hospital at Greenwich. The various regu lations brought about through his exertions, parti cularly for improving the system of diet and other comforts to the pensioners, will cause his name to be long and gratefully remembered in that noble asylum, He was married in 1820 to Mary, eldest daughter of the late Francis Hurt, Esq., of Alderwarley, in Derbyshire. He was a sincere Christian in his belief and practice ; and both were characterised by a simpli city and singleness of heart for which he was re.. markable. He was a firm and zealous friend, and in all the relations of life most exemplary. His beneficence was extensive, and of that character which is rather felt than seen. He closed a career of active usefulness, both in public and private life, on the sth of April, 1834, most deeply and sincerely lamented. K. REMARKABLE ANECDOTE:-CAUSE OF CHOLERA. As an instance of the,presence of such bodies in the atmosphere, we may mention a very remarkable observation which occurred to the writer of this treatise during the late prevalence of epidemic cholera. He had for some years been occupied in investigations regarding the atmosphere ; and for more than six weeks previously to the appearance of cholera in London, had almost every day been engaged in endeavouring to determine, with the utmost" possible accuracy, the weight of a given quantity of air, under precisely the same circum stances of temperature and pressure. On a parti cular day, the 9th of February, 1832, the weight of the air suddenly appeared to rise above the usual standard. As the rise was at the time supposed to be the result of some accidental error, or of some derangement in the apparatus employed, in order to discover its cause, the succeeding observations were made with the most rigid scrutiny. But no error or derangement whatever could be detected, On the days immediately following, the weight of the air still continued above the standard ; though not quite so high as on the 9th of February, when the change was first noticed. The air retained its augmented weight during the whole time these ex periments were carried on, namely, about six weeks longer. The increase of the weight of the air ob served in these experiments was small ; but still decided and real. The method of conducting the experiments was such as not to allow of an error, at least to an amount so great as the additional weight, without the cause of that error having be come apparent. There seems, therefore, to be only one mode of rationally explaining this ,increased weight of the air at London in February, 1832 ; which is, by admitting the diffusion of some gaseous body through the air of this city, considerably hea vier than the air it displaced. About the 9th of February, the wind in London, which had previ, ously been west, veered round to the east., and re., mained pretty steadily in that quarter till the end of the month. Now, precisely on ;the change of, the -wind the first cases of epidemic cholera were reported in London ; and from that time the dis ease continued to spread. That the epidemic cho lera was the effect of the peculiar condition of the atmosphere, is more perhaps than can be safely maintained ; but reasons, which have been ad vanced elsewhere, lead the writer of this treatise to believe that the virulent disease, termed cholera, was airing- to the same matter that produced the additional weight of the air. The statement of these reasons here would be quite out of place : it is enough to say, that they are principally founded on remarkable changes in certain secretions of the human body, which, during the prevalence of the epidemic, were observed to be almost universal ; and that analogous changes have been observed in the-same secretions of those who had. been much exposed to what has been termed Malaria. The foreign body, therefore, that was diffused through the atmosphere of London, in February, 1832, was probably a variety of malaria.—Prout's Bridgewa ter Treatise.
