Drama is converted into the more pogo-
lar form of narrative, for the purpose of rendering tie real
beauties of the British Stage more familiar, and even of ex-
tending that knowledge to circles wbere the Drama itself is
forbidden. With this view, the Authoress has turned Twenty of
the Tragedies and Comedies of the Dramatists above enume-
rated into as many Tales, in which the colloquial and scenic
effect is preserved, and the whole rendered obedient to the
most refined ideas of delicacy, and subservient to the best purposes
of morality.

[From Calignanrs Itiriser:grr 1
A dreadftiaeciSli.,t occurred a short time ago at Marjeruls Ti
vicar of the *dish, accompanied by more than lid persons, wait
the house of a poor sick woman to administer the tlacrtme•rt.
entering the chamber, which was on the asicond story, the fl•atr sud-
denly tell, and the whole party were precipitated to the first floor.
which likewise at the same instant gave way. with a loud and tr
mendous mash. Two hours were occupied in taking the unfortii
nate persons nut of the rubbish. A woman and her daughter w•, •
killed, and 40 persons more or leas wounded. The vicar reedy,
some severe contusions.

According to a letter from Friburg (Switzerland) many du rls ist, -
fought during the winter between the student. Of that Unlvet.r..,
several of whom received serious wourda, and one died of Uien .
The higher authorities believing that the cause of these duels is tit,.
clashing opinion of various secret societies, have appointed a mi -
mitisionee to inquire into the subject.
Yesterday the four highwaymen condemned to the galleys f r
life stood in the pillory in the Place de Palish' de Justice. The
three condemned to death were executed in the Place de Greve.
