Paper of Friday lass, in which there were fionie tnis.statements, which we are disposed to consider as the consequence of erroneous rumours rather than of any malevolent hostility to an Institution which, though opposed at first, has been found so beneficial that all prejudices are gradually ‘rearing away. It was stated in the letter referred to, that " more pupils are to be admitted, and the annual sum to be 60 guineas." ' Whence this report issued it is difficult to say, but we are informed that it is destitute of truth. 'l'l►e pupil,' o►► the Foundation are, we are as sured, to remain upon the same terms, viz. 401. a year, and considering the advantage they possess in deriving instruction from the best Professors, and receive board and lodging fron► the Institu tution, the terms must be deemed very ►node rate, instead of unreasonable. The Institution is, we understand, in a very flourishing condition ; the pupils display evident proofs of hnprovement in the science of music ; they receive moral and religious instruction ; a Chaplain has been ap pointed, and the Church service is daily per formed.—The pupils are happy, and their pa rents are satisfied, though perhaps some of them cannot support the terms of admission without domestic inconvenience, but they are cheered by the prospect of having their offspring provided with a profession which will enable them to pro core a respectable situation in society, and by moral culture to obtain esteem as well as em ployment. -0, W. . 4 ..•••• V.., • . tit ... .• . ....vi•••• .44', ..., •••••• , rt, p 1210 . .

IAtTE Fritt AT AllEt AMICHI.-Friday evPning, the Diana, Lookup, from Mirarnichi. ) hound to Dumfries, put into tVidtehavin, after a passa g e of .a: days, haying left that settlement on the 12d of October. She brought home pal- sengers, all Scotch, who escaped the dreadful conflagration. Stoddart, one of these passengers, lays, that his father, mother, eldest brother, and three misters, were all burnt t a cinder. Another says that he made his escape from his bed, and got into the water for sa fety, where he remained several hours, and with difficulty saved himself, even in that opposite clement ; that during the tihie of his immersion, the hurricane and fire raged with most fripthtful violence, and so rapidly dill the flames run from place to place, his bedfellow did not succeed in mak ing his escape, and was burnt ; indeed, the fire in some plans, it is'said, literally flew upon the wings of the wind, travelling at least 12 miles an hour. Cows. horses, tact 511 kinds of cattle, were seen, after the fire, floating [form the river in large quantities, having sought the water for safety, bat there perished. It is impossible, however, another passenger observes, to convey an adequate idea of the destruction. The names of several hundred, supposed to have perished, had been I given in ; lout no correct and complete account could he ob tained up to the time of the sailing of the Diana. It is thought that a great number had perished in the woods. The Diana had a stormy passage, and woes ten days in the Channel. The 17 passengers on hoard of her who escaped the fire lost every thing. A man and his wife, and three sons and three daugh ters, belonging to Dumfries, came here on Sunday from the Diana. They say that Captain Lookup's behaviour to them was kind indeed. De not only gave them a free passage, but made them a present of halt' a guinea to help diem home. N CututENcv.—Thi. assimilation of the im perial currency, in common with every measure tending to faci litate the intercourse and perfect the union of the two coun tries, will, unquestionably, be productive of great and perma nent advantages. Pending the transition, however, and until the public are familiarized with the new system, much prac tical inconvenience will, no doubt, he e x p er i e nced, especially among the humbler classes, who can scarcely be expected to comprehended at once the true nature of so important a change. The removal of erroneous impressions, and diffusion of just notions upon ;he subject, is therefore at the present moment peculiarly desirable, with a view to lessen the difficulties which must at all events he encountered. Among other points, it ought to be generally knows, that the period for demanding payment, or for exchanging the old notes which may be in cir culation after the sth of January, is unlimited; so that no lapse of time, or delay in presenting them. can, in the slightest de gree, invalidate the clause of the holder, or affect the real value of the note, which for an indefinite period will continue ap plicable to all its present purposes. A right understanding upon this point may be the means of preventing, at the ap proaching Juncture, a simultaneous pressure upon the Bank, altogether unnecessary and alike inconvenient to that esta blishment and to the public. It many eases, indeed, a reser vation of old notes, for the purpose of discharging. engage ments contracted befhrc the sth of -fairway.; -maybe found ex tremely useful in superseding the necessity. of perplexing cal culations, and in obviating the embarrassment incidental to ransactions with uninformed or prejudiced inclividuals.—(Dnb 'in Mercantile? Advertiser.) GROSS 0 rift G 11:.—As Mr. Peter Ittre, a coin mercial geutleman from Macclesfield, was proceeding in his gig front North Cave to Howden, in the evening of the 2 6th inst., about seven o'clock, he was suddenly surprised by six men riding on horseback at foil gallop, one of whom came with tre mendous force in direct contact with the driving side, break ing the cross-bar, both shafts, and otherwise considerably in juring the gig. Fortunately, Mr. Ince received no personal inj u ry, whilst the man was thrown from his horse, and both, it is feared, are very seriously injured. in a few minutes af terwards the whole party returned, evidently in quest of the hat which the man who was thrown from his horse had lel behind, which Mr. hoe had secured in order to identify the parties, if possible, and which he refused to give up unless the parties would furnish him with their names and residences, or , ro with him to the nearest town, a distance of about two miles. They then proceeded to use the most insulting lan guage, !surrounded Mr. Ince's gig, stopped his horse, and one of them severely beat him with a stick on the back part of the head, by which the brim of his bat was broken, and which would have dke him a serious injury, had it not been for a high standing coat collar and shawl handkerchief, that pre vented the blow from, taking eff:ct. The constables of How den were sent in pursuit, and, by the hat, discovered the whole party, who were taken into custody. We understand the parties have'confessed the injury done, promised to pay all damages, and consented to make an apology, on condition of further proceedings being dropped, to which Mr. In ce h as ver y humanely consented, ANECDOTES, &c. SAINT ANDREW.—This day is the anniversary of this Saint-. He was the 'younger brother of Simon, surnamed Peter, and traversed the vast northern regions of Scythia, upon the dispersion of the Apostles, surmounting every difficulty.— I! e passed over the countries of Thrace and Macedonia, and 'at Patra he was so successful in the execution of his trust, that Ageas, the Pro consul, condemned him to be first scourged and then crucified, a sentence which was put into ex. er . atiOo with peculiar cruelty. Ilk body was pwlhaluned and honourably entombed by a Chris tian lady of quality and fortune, and some time aftemards his relics were removed to Byzantium by Constantine the Great. St. Andrew, in pictures, is represented bearing a cross in the form of the let ter X. The Scotch have chosen St. Andrew for their tutelar Saint, and they assert his remains were brought and deposited in Fifeshire in the year 368 ; a town and University are named after hint. This day k also remarkable as the anni versary of 'Edmund I ronside being murdered at Oxford, 1010 ;of the birth of Dean Swift, 1667 ; and of Voltaire s 'l694; of Charles the Twelfth being killetiiitrrederickshall, 1718 ; the birth -of Prince.Clittiles Rdward, called the Young Pretendet,*..i;o of the marriage of Peter the Great to- his Prime Minister's daughter, 1729; the execution of John Rawl, called Sixteen String Jack, •at Tyburn, 1774 ; of the duel between Ctarles James Fox and Mr. Adam, when the former was slightly wounded, 1779 ; of a frost which commenced this day in 1788, which con ,tinued till January, during which the Thames was frozen ; and of the French forces evacuating. St. Domingo, and surrendering to the British fleet, in 1803. MAcurAN was very particular in Shylock-7 1 P much so, that he requested .Bobby Bates, who performed the part of Tribta, not to speak until he saw him standing on a certain spot ; " nay,". laid Macklin, " trot until you see me place my right foot on this nail," (pointing with his stick • to the head of a large nail which was driven into the stage.) Bobby promised to remember the old man's instruction, and, that he might have a better view of the nail, he marked it in a conspi cuous manner with a piece of chalk. At night Macklin had forgotten the nail, therefore when Tuba/ entered, and remained for some time with out speaking, Macklin exclaimed, in an under. voice, " Why the devil don't you speak ?" " Sir," replied Bobby," put your right foot upon the nail." This so disconcerted the veteran, that it was with difficulty he finished the part. BATTLE 07 As , ATE.—At the battle of Assaye the musicians were ordered to attend the wound ed, and carry them to the surgeons in the rear. One of the Highland pipers, believing himself included in this order, laid aside his instrument, and assisted the wounded. For this he was after wards reproached by his comrades. Flutes and hautboys they thought could be well spared, but for the piper, who should always be in the heat of the battle, to go to the rear with the whistlerti 1 a as a thing altogether unheard of. The unfor tunate piper was quite humbled. However, he soon had an opportunity of playing oil this stigma; for, in the advance at Argaum, he played up with such animation, and influenced the men to such a degree, that they could hardly be restrained from rushing on to time charge too soon, and breaking the line.—Colonel A DAMS was, indeed, obliged to silence the musician, who now iu some mea sure regained his lost fame. . ' THE MARVELLOUS WALLs of Trans, and the prodigious masses of masonry of which they con• slat,may he con s idered not less entitled than the . Pyramids of Egypt to rank among the wonders ; of the ancient world. Though put together without cement, they appear likely to brave the attacks of ages even more numerous than those which have already elapsed since they were built; which, as they existed long before the Trojan war, cannot be less than . 3,000 years. Li VINO AFTER YOU ARE DEAD.--A friend having taken lodgings for an Irish Gentleman in St. Paul's Church-yard, the latter on hearing it, exclaimed with astonishment—" A rrah, my dear, now did you ever hear of a man going to live in a church-yard, till after he was dead." ANECDOTE OE G ENEUA MONIE.—The acc dents which determine human pursuits -are often curious. Charles the First's prevention of Cromwell's emigration to America kept that extraordinary man at home to take off his head ; and General Monk's martial career was determined by the following accident father, Sir Thomas Monk, being desirous to attend a general meeting of the gentlemen of the county of Devon, at Exeter Castle, yet knowtng that some writs for debt had been issued against him , applied to the Sheriff by letter, requesting that they might put be s executed at that 'time, adding an assurance, that if he could not make a compromise with his creditors, he would surrender himself when called for. The Sheriff returned an answer, " that, upon his honour, Sir Thomas should be free from his officers during the time of the said meeting; " but, contrary to this promise, he caused Sir Thomas to be publicly arrested in the presence of the whole meeting. This news being► brought to the young George Monk (afterwards the Geneial), so exasperated him, that be immediately took a horse and•came to Exeter, where, in the presence of all the gentlemen, lie not only upbraided the Sheriff, but caned him very severely ; for this 3 prosecution. ' was commenced against him, and he was obliged to seek safety I he flight. To shelter himself from his pursuers, he entered as a common sailor - on board a King's ship, where after some time he was, for his valour and good behaviour, made a Lieute nant ; and this laid the foundation of his subsequent military career. —• DENNIS 01. 1 Arr.---Doritig the war with H YnEit ALLY, DENNIS O'TATT, from the County Clare. a Lieu. tenant and Acting Adjntant of the Madras Artill er y, wa s o bserved by a brother Officer to expose himself most unneces sarily to a very destructive fire from the enemy, said so to O'Taff, who replied, " Don't you know I am Adjutant, and if my horse is killed in action, get 24 pagodas for him, and he is not worth ten ?"—lt was usual for subalterns of ar tillery to take a weekly tour of duty in the fort of Madras, which is about 8 miles from the Artillery Cantonments; on one occasion, when o"fati'm turn came, he left, a fine game cock under a basket in one corner of his barrack-room in Can tonment, and, that he might live in plenty, O'Taff placed a quantity of grain and water in the opposite corner, locked the door, comforting himself with the thought that his favourite would want for nothing during his absence.-. On his return the following week, he exclaimed, " 0 J —s, why did not I leave the meat under the basket! Sure if I had the creature would not have died !"—Ouraff continued to blunder to the last; he was employed --by the first and great Sir Eyre Coote, in the demolition of the fort of Wandewask, and having placed a qnantity of - gunpowder to blow up one of , baitions, was 'desirous of viewing the explosion, and remained so close to the mine, that he was sent ipto the air with the fragments.— ovraff 's will was found - .among his papers—he was warm hearted and generouis—his assets principally consisted of smut ' sums due to him by his brother officers,-whom he had assist-1 ed in times-of difficulty. -He bequeathed all his J C bl l to his mother, ROLLS' COURT--(Tats DA r.)

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—(Tnts DAT.) TOWN-HALL, BOROUGH. PRIZE HAIR-DLIESSMIL—AIr. Metcalfe, of Bimhondsey street, and a friend, whose name we could not learn, were brought before the Sitting Alderman, charged with acting the parts of Tenn and Jerry about one o'clock in the morning, to the great annoyance of the neighbourhood of Bermondsey street. From the woeful and disfigured countenances of the Charlie', we are inclined to think the two gentlemen had studied G. A. Stevens's work upon Heads, or received prat tical lectures from George Head : the latter was moat likely as a by-stander, declared he never saw such striking attitudes in his life. ' It required seven watchmen to capture them, and most, of them came in for a share of the favours which wave liberally distributed around. They preferred satisfying all parties to being held to bail. • .
