Master BETTY'S complaint is not, as has been stated, a mere cold. He has a severe catarrhal fever, beiides much of what is called bilious matter in his stomach-and bowels. It is by no means pro bable that he will soon be able to.venture upon the Stage again. - 'Elite are as many Portraits of Little BETTY as of BoNArAitTe, and: all, if we may trust report, drawn from the life.

To the honour of Mrs. 1311.,Litits-rox, it should be mentioned, chat she was not induced to take the laudanum, which was prndoelive of such dangerous cal:as, merely ms account of indisposition, but in consequence of a shock she received which threw her into strong convulsions. The nurse who at. tended her was abruptly informed, in her presence, that her child had just been burnt to death. The horror of this event, and its effeet upon the unhappy mother, produced such a disorder in her own mind as could only be allayed by a composing draught, and the general agitation in the house occasioned one of her attendants to administer too large a quantity. ANECDOTE OF MASTER BETTY.—..The following anecdote of the Young Rolcius, and the faei is lingoes dutiable, proves that the goodness of his heart is equal to the other rare qualities Nature has endowed him with :—After completing his engagement with the Liverpool Managers, 'in which place he performed fifteen nights, and being told that his share of the profits amou n ted to fifteen buzdred and twenty pound', he looked stedlastly on his infant sister, then in his mothet's arms, and exclaimed, "Amidst the vicissi. tudes of life, who. can tell; my dear sister, what may he thy fate ? If I can help it, it shall not be poverty 1 therefore I insist that the tsool. may be settled upon my sister, and put out to interest fur her benefit till she 'comes of age." The next •day the necessary steps were taken, .and Messrs. LEWIS and KNIGHT were nominated the Trustees to see the wishes of our young hero fulfilled. Not the smallest intimation by Mr. or Mrs. BLTTY had been previously made upon the subjeti ; it was the spontaneous effusion of his own heart, and the result; of retie ions entite)y his own, so uncommon with a lad of his years. , The anxiety of the Parisians 'to have a fi ne day on the Coronation of their Usurper, it easily counted for, as the French were always fond of Spaarles in the midst of calamities ; but the liar. per himself wanted to dazzle the eyes of his Slaves, and on the critical morning was therefore di spor i to cry out, with his bloody prototyte RICHARD, 1 , who saw tin. &in to.dtty," At a Meeting of the Council of the .
