VSCULAR ALARM AT THE DRESDEN OPERA.
serrisge of the Infanta of Lucca with Prince
sslimilien of Saxony has been celebrated at Dresden with
nary pomp. The Princess made her formal entry
into Dresden on the 7th, and the marriage was cele-
the same day, the King, all the Royal Family of
, the Russian Prince Constantine, and the Princess
being present.. On the Bth the new-married
neeived the congratulations of the Ambassadors
thogsgisirscy. Grand fetes occupied the following
a es, Thee of the 9th were marked by a disastrous
sigurrenee•
The Court had repaired to the Opera to bear the cantata
unposed by the Muter of the Chapel, Morlachi. The
ha, lighted up with extraordinary magnificence, might
°stain nearly 5,000 spectators. Scarcely had the song
commenced whew a sudden panic seized on all the assistants,
sad in a few seconds every one was seen endeavouring to
tope a danger of which no one knew the character. A
finessed versions are given of the cause of alarm. The
aost simple, sad, consequently, the most probable is, that
a cense, in one of the hosts, found herself taken ill.
Those near her called for water, the call was repeated from
sae to another, and. for no other cause, it was supposed
the building was on fire. In a moment the confusion was
at its height, and the disorder such as to set all description
at &fiance.
The Royal Family, which should have been guarded by
ream belonging to the Household, were not exempted
from the general alarm. They were placed in the midst of
the hall, in that part which forms ordinarily the pit of the
Thestre, and, consequently, in the midst of the spectators,
hat wirroundeil by their Household. At the first slam
the Queen, the Princess Augusta, and the other Princesses;
ask so night, without knowing whither to go. The King
sigma maintained his self-possession, and ordered the Or-
den 03 recommence; but the musicians had been the
fast toren; and it was with great difficulty that a few of
tisk were found to execute the orders of his Majesty. B
eleven, order was restored, and the musicians carne back
webs one. The Cantata was finished without any other
serilests than what were inseparable from a scene of such
creasers, in the midst of so large an assembly.
*hes the first alarm had subsided, the conduct of the
Qom lithibited a touching spectacle to all who had the
psi Wass of witnessing it. In the distraction of her
linable, else- believed that the King had been hurried
awn by the crowd ; she wished to follow him, tittering
Idle feast ffiercing exclamations. When she was conducted
Is hies, Ike threw herself upon his neck with se much ef-
figies as if they had both of them escaped some immi-
fliallfa—filsee of Wednesday.

bisiliGiovanni Maria Linquiti, Director of the Royal
for the insane at Aversft, whose name is so honour-
• Illen In Europe. He was horn at Mulfitta in 1744.
Noun very early distinguished by his learning, and at
ht studied the law, but soon left it for a monastic life in
liseenvent of the Serviti. Being afterwards obliged by
*list erects to lay aside his religious habit, and assume
• it gII secular priest, he was received as a friend iu the
the illustrious Berio, Marquis of Salsa, in whose
he bad an opportunity of extending the sphere of
bowledne, especially in what relates to the physical
Naliaaral nature of man, of which an irrefragable proof
"ashen by the first volume of his Richerche ,salt Alters-
raw seentale. But the origin of h:s great reputation is to
be dated from the time of his being appointed to direct the
Royal Asylum at Averse.
Liquid wax one of the first who perceived that insanity,
%disease peculiar to the reasoning animal, man, having its
origin in reason, never entirely departs from that origin ;
that the insane are not so in every thing, or at all times;
Out we can, and ought to try to, restore their reason by
tenon; and that the chief, if not the only, medicine in an
hotpiil for the insane, is the ]ominous intelligence of the
lithos who directs it.
The principle which guided Linquiti in the treatment of
lunatics was founded on their education. He leeean by
mulcting them as sane, took care that every one should
fillow the usual exercise of his art and condition, and
established his new system of cute on the bases of occupa-
tion and anauseinent--occupation for the versatility of the
Aim of the maniacs, and amusement against the fixed ideas
af the melancholy. The results of this method were so
successful, that our new establishments of this description
loon became celebrated throughout Europe.
The health of Chevalier Linquiti bad been on the de-
dine frem 14115 to his death, which took place on the
17th Srpteinher last. his death was honoured with many
tsars, but nothing could be more affecting than the funeral
crentoni in the chapel of the asylum. Doctor Vulva,
toe physician of the establishment, recited, in a most
*owing esiegium, the merits of the deceased, and the

LITERARY GLEANINGS.

No. LXIV.

The following letter was written by a Noble Lord to a
young Lady on the eve of her marriage. It bears date
May 1785. There is a vein of manly sense runs through
it, strongly characteristic of a man of reflection well ac-
quainted with the world, and giving with sincerity advice,
the value of wl_•ich is by no means confluttl to the female to
whom it is addressed. It contains instruction of lasting
importance to the whole aex on the interesting topic to
which it relates.

" My dear Miss M.—lt is not in my power to add any
thing to the good seise and solidity of the reflections con-
tained in your letter to my wife. The rational plan you
have there laid out, for your future conduct, will not fail
to secure to you the esteem, love, and respect of a man,
too well acquainted with the world, to undervalue so much
prudence and discretion in a young wife. I believe, how-
ever, that most of your sex, on the eve of matrimonial en-
gagements, mean and intend to act well ; but, few having
the advantage of your understanding, many are soon mis-
led by misconception, levity, or, the worst of bad coun-
sellors, those of your own sex. To resolve well is no-
thing ; the difficulty is to persevere; or, as Lee, the poet,
much better expresses it, to be obstinately good. The
word obstinately contains alone more meaning, energy, and
pith, than half the volumes which have been written on
the subject. I repeat it, little can be added to what your
own foresight has already suggested to you ; but, as the
engagement you are contracting is of the utmost import-
ance to your future welfare. I will, since you do me the
honour to ark my advice, subjoin a few remarks, the fruit
of long experience and some observation.
" Let respeetabilite be your aim sod object ; be respect.
able in your connexions, in your acquaintance, in the ma-
nagement of your family ; but, above all, in the choice of
your intimates. The world, in general, will be guided in
their opinirn of your character by the characters of those '
you select as objects of your friendship and confidence ;
your husband, moreover, will respect and consider you in
proportion as he perceives you considered and respected
by others. Airs, haughtiness, and pride, are net unfre-
quently mistaken for dignity ; as roughness, ill manners,
' and brutality, in our sex, often claim as frankness, courage,
and manliness—you will not mistake them—you have a
friend in the world, and a very sincere one, who possesses
this happy gift of assimilating this respectability with the
best nature and the most winning affability :—I need not
name her.

" What I have been saving seems to me very important,
and deserves 'your serious consideration ; but what relates
immediately to your husband is still more so.
" Let me entreat you to consider the first year after your
marriage as a year probation, a time of trial, of novice-
ship; every action, every step, nay, every word, will have
its weight in the scale of your husband's future trust and
confidence in you. Consider, in this interval he will nearly
have settled his opinion of your prudence, your discretion,
and your worth. I would by no mear
recommend cunning :-cnnning stanch
to prudence, as hypocrisy to reli
hypocrisy, implies a sordid meanness
hope and believe, that you have an elevation
would spurn at duplicity and at every '

wife, let me now proceed to the nicer
lights and shades, to those minute
without which 0-IL.. picture remains t

your mighty lord struts in all his dignity

Collection, to call hi- tia f ' and
you consul,
disputes about silly
sideration. I myself knew a man
and best-natured of creatures, who, after a , and wise
investigation, whether we have ten fingers, or only eight
fingers and two thumbs, complained bitterly of each other's
monstrous ill usage, and concluded, by proposing a separa-
tion, the wife from the worst of husbands, the husband
from the worst of wives. Luckily their heads were sound,
as their hearts were good ; both were struck with the
dangerous tendency of such foolish altercations, and re-
solved in future to avoid them. Are you capable of check-
ing a rising flush ?—of swallowing a provoking word
ready to burst from your lips ? if you are equal to such
fortitude, to such heroism, you are, in my estimation, a
,great philosopher ;—in that of your turkey-cock you will
be an—angel.
" More fortitude still may possibly require your exer-
tions, if ever it should so happen (and this may happen to
the most virtuous woman) that you perceive your mind too
much employed in favour of another man ; yourself too
much disrosed to dwell on his good qualities, on the gen-
tleness, the amiableness of his manners, on his disinterested
attentions to you ; if you feel such a man insensibly creeping
into your affections—no hesitation—fly, if possible, from
him, as far as from pole to pole—no confidante, more par-
ticularly no female one—bury the secret in the remotest
receosof your soul; and let your virtue and honour watch
over it;—conceal your weakness, not only from the object
of it, but from the whole world ; nay endeavour to
conceal it from yourself—indulge not yourself, under pre-
tence of fortifying your virtue, in gloomy thoughts about
your supposed misery ; that will not fail to increase the
evil. On the contrary, amuse, dissipate yourself ; laugh
at your own folly ; treat it cavalierly, and the illusion
will soon cease—one serious resolve, however, must be
firmly made, resolutely kept, and which no consideration
must forego—the determined, fixed, unalterable resolution,
of never, never, never trusting yourself alone with the man
of whom you feel yourself afraid.
" I perceive that this letter is spun out to a considerable
length ; the warmth of my wishes for your happiness would
dictate a great deal more, but it is time to conclude it.
" 1 have hastily thrown on paper such thoughts as have
occurred to me ; they have no pretension to novelty, ele-
gance, o; even order : they are wriueo solely with a view
of being of some little advantage to you. Ma/ you de-
serve, by your prudent conduct, to be happy ! this "is my
ardent wish. I have the honour to be, with great respect,
dear Madam," &c.

THE WINTER ROBIN.
A suppliant to your window comes,
Who trusts your faith, and fears no guile :
He claims admittance for your crumbs,
And reads his passport in your smile.

For cold and cheerleis is the day,
And he has sought the hedges round ;
No berry hangs upon the spray,
Nor worm, nor ant-egg, can be found.

Secure his suit will be preferred,
No Peon his slender feet deter ;
For sacred is the household bird
That wears the scarlet stomacher.

THE MIRAMICHI CALAMITY.

-
We have greet pleasure in stating, on the authority of a
letter received yesterday from Miramichi, that Sir Howard
Douglas, the Governor of New Brunswick, on receiving
intelligence of the dreadful catastrophe at Miramichi, with
the most laudable promptitude bad hastened to the scene
of the dreadful calamity, where he arrived on the evening
of the 4/th of October. The arrival Of hie Excellency was
a complete surprise upon the distressed inhabitants, who
had no anticipation of the visit.
The most lively demonstrations of gratitude, for the at-
tention thus paid to their situation by the Chief of his
Majesty's Government in that settlement, were given by all
classes. The assurances of relief, to the utmost practioahle
extent, given by Sir Howard Douglas, are said to have re-
stored the confidence and the hopes of the surviving inha-
bitants, whose spirits had, u might be expected, been de-
pressed almost to despair. IVe regret to learn, by different
communications, that the numbers supposed to have pe-
rished in the woods, together with the sufferers at Mirami-
chi, and Fredericton, are estimated to exceed even hun-
dreds ! The loss of cattle, and especially horses, will long
be felt as an irreparable injury. Whether the fire in its
rapid course has consumed the timber of the forest is not
known, but on that fact will depend the extent of damage.
If only the branches have been destroyed, without consum-
ing the trunks of the trees, the timber will have been ge-
nerally damaged, and of little value, yet still unprofitably
incumbering the land. If, on the other hand, the timber
al:ould have been consumed, the labour and expense of
clearing the land will have been effected by this dreadful
visitation.

world in September, 1820. . is, however, gratifying to
see that many thousands of the Chinese, who are not under
the influence of those prohibitory decrees, have now an
opportunity of reading the Gospel in their native language
and will soon be enriched with the whole of the sacreel
volume in Chinese Proper; while the Mandjur New Tes-
tament is preparing in St. Petersburgh for the use of the
northern half of that immense empire. His colleague,
Dr. Milne, since deceased, in June, 18512, joined his
labours in preparing a complete version of the whole Bible
foto the Chinese language. Although his death retarded
its progress, it has since been completed for the press by
Dr. Morrison, to whose abilities and competence for this
very important task a handsome testimony was borne
by Lord Amherst, in the presence of a deputation
from the Bible Society, appointed to wait on his Lord-
ship previous to his departure for India. And in Dr.
Morrisen's subsequent correspondence in 1823, it appears
that 1000 Chinese New Testaments had just then been ap-
plied for by the missionaries of a new settlement, formed at
Singapore in the year 1819 ; and that the Governor of
Ochotzk had gratefully acknowledged the receipt of some
copies which he had sent to that unfrequented part of the
globe. "We have prepared the seed," sal Dr. Morrison,
" to which, when extensively sown, we hope God will not
deny his blessing."

WESTERN LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC
INSTITUTION.
Lag night a General Meeting of the Members of this Institution
was held at Freemasons' Hall, for the purpose of receiving the Re-
port of the Proviaional Committee, and of redwing certain Rulea
and Regulations by which the Institution was to be in tuture con-

At eight o'clock the chair was taken by .Me. THOMAS CAMP.
DELL, supported by the members of the Provisions' Committee,
and a great many other gentlemen. The attendance of persons for
wheate immediate advantage the Institution is princimilly established
was very numerous.
The CHAIRMAN rate to congratulate them on this their second
public meeting, with most sincere and deepfelt sensations of sada-
ketiOn. When he looked at the prospects which were now before
this Institution, he could only compare them hathat of a full sun.
rise that had been preceded by a genial and promising dawn. He
thought the public would be with them. and he was happy to find
his anticipations realized, for the public were with them. The
enemies to the dissemination of public instruction and public lite.
rature were not now, thank God ! a. they were in ancient days,
when barbarous Caliphs set fire to the Alexandrian Library, alleg-
ing that the precious volumes which formed it either contained too
little or too much. (Cheers,) On neither of these Vretexts would
inutility or bad tendency be alleged against their libriries. The
Genius of ignorance and of prejudice might utter its fears or vent its
spleen in secret against this Institution, but it dared not make
Retire war against it. These were his ardent sentiments, as. he
douPlied not they were those of every individual then present. But
he would not interrupt the meeting, which was one of business, by
indulging himself in declaiming up3n them, though h!'icould not
refrain from declaring that they were the darling subjects of his
heart. The object of the prisent meeting was to give them such
information as the Provisional Committee was in possession of, re.
eventing the number of subscribers, and the encouragement the
Institution hail received from liberal and scientific men. It now
became his duty to request that the Report of the Provisional Com-
mittee be read and after that the meeting would, with as little lose
of time as possible, proceed to the consideration of those 'awe, for
the forming of which the Provisional Committee bad Leen

Jfi'BITTLESTON then read the following Report, many pas-
sages of which were loudly cheered by the Meeting :
, Your Committee having been instructed by the Revolutions of
the public meeting to take all necessary measures to promote the
objects in view, and to report to this Meeting the result of their
proceedings, have the satisfaction to state that the number of mem-
bers who have, by the payment of their subscriptions, qualified
themselves to vote at the present Meeting amounted, aerording to
the latest returns received by your Committee, to the number of
411, many of them of distinguished rank in the state and in
literature.
"Your Committee, deeply impressed by the opinion that the pro-
sperity and perpetuity of every association of a voluntary nature
depends essentially on the practical efficiency and utility of the
laws ordained for Its government, have employed much of the
short period of time which has elapsed since their appointment in
digesting a Code, which they now submit to the consideration of
this Meeting, in the confident belief that they will be found entitled
to the approbation of the members. In the course of the delibera-
tion of your Committee various regulations framed by other Li-
terary Societies have been brought under their notice; hut your
Committee conceive that the body of laws now proposed by them for
adoption will be efficient in practice, and have thought it better to
leave possible cases to be provided for as they may arise, than to
encumber their present code by minute regulations which, when
emergencies arise, might be found exceedingly inapplicable.
II our Committee have received various communications in refer.
ence to the objects of the Institution. Of these, they feel called
upon to notice specifically the following offers of gratuitous ser-
vices, honourable alike to the gentlemen who tender them, and to
s Institution to which they are made.
Mr. Thomas Campbell, to whom the Institution is already

Mutual , -anent. • Tiffs library is in the possession of the
Honorary to your Committee, and is ready for the twat
the Members, so soon as a proper place shall be fixed upon for Its
reception.
" Your Committee have been engaged in various inquiries re
specting premises suitable to the purposes of the Institution ; but
feeling tbat much consideration is necessary before any engagement
of that nature is permanently formed, and being, since their ap-
pointment, occupied with business which admitted of no delay, they
can only repass at present that they have engaged very spacious
rooms, well adapted to the purposes of the Institution. in Sufffilk-
street, Charing.crosa„ belonging to the Society of British Artists.
" Your Committee have further to report, that they have made
an arrangement with the Editor of the weekly journal entitled the
News of Literature. by which that publication will convey to the
world the proceedings of the Institution. The members will al-
ways find in its columns notices of the transactions of the Institu-
tion when they may be unable personally to attend its meetings.
The last number of the News of Literature contains a very accu-
rate report of the proceedings of the public meeting at which the
Institution was formed and your Committee appointed."
A Gentleman, in the middle of the room, moved that the Report
be approved and adopted, which was done by acclamation.
Mr. BITTLESTON then proceeded to read the laws which had
been prepared by the Provisional Committee to be submitted for
the adoption of the Meeting. Having read thirty-five rules, em.
bracing the whole code for the internal and external regulation of
this Society, Mr. B. said that the Committee had given every one
of them the most attentive consideration ; and he felt assured that,
If they were carried, they would tend to the corsummation of all
their wishes regarding the success of this Institution.
The CHAIRMAN rose to consult their opinion, whether the laws
which had been read should be adopted. He would certainly on
the one hand exhort any gentleman, who might have any particular
objection to either of therules, to come fairly forward and state that
objection; but on the other hand, as unanimity and concord were
the very foundation and prosperity of all Institutions of this kind,
he firmly trusted, indeed he was convinced by the respectability of
the meeting, that no captious person would come forward, merely
for the purpose of opposition.
It was suggested that. as the rules were many, it would be better
to have them read re, i rim, and unless any gentleman should ob-
ject to any particular role, they should be considered as adopted,
without the necessity of putting them singly to the vote.
On the first law being read, which went to declare that the title
of the Institution should he, " The Western Literary and Scien-
tific Institution, for the diffbaion of Useful Knowledge among Per-
ions engaged in Commercial and Professional pursuits,"
A person in the body of the Meeting thought that the terms
* commercial and professional" were too limited. There were, he
said, a quantity of half-pay officers, who would be glad to join the
Institution.

Dr.MtTCHELL observed, that he considered such persons to be-
long to the highest sad most honourable of all profemions—the
profession of arms. It was then suggested that the words "or
other pursuits" should be added to the title.
The CHAIRMAN thought such a phrase was objectionable, and
that it seemed to him more sensible (if thee altered the rule as at
present framed) to say merely that the object proposed to be ob-
tained was the diffusion of useful knowledge. But he must own
that his belief was, that it wan necessary to give to the Institution
a defined character, and to express by its name their opinion that
it was particularly important to promote the diffusion of knowledge
among persons engaged in professional and commercial pursuits.
Thegreatest compliment thit country'a greatest enemy ever paid them
was, to call them a nation of shop-keepers; and the spirit which led
the people of this country to engage in general, professional, and
commercial pursuits was the great reason of their national prosperity.
He respected no man because he belonged to this or to that profes-
sion, but he thought that those who formed the great master-fea-
ture of this country had, he would say, par exceliewce et par earn.
plairance, aright to hold the first place, and a distinct name, in this
Institution.
I Mr. CA !PUY: could not remember all that Johnson said. but he
recollected that he defined a gentleman to bean idle person who had
so employment ; he should hope that such persons would not be
excluded from this Institution.

A Al EMMA of the Committee observed. that the Institution was
not of ao exclusive nature, but admitted all who were desirous to
become its supporter..
The law was then agreed as originally worded.
On the law which declared that any person making donations to
the Institution either of money, books, philosophical or mecha-
nical apparatus. should become honorary weathers.

A OF.STLEIIIIAN thought thy the word " donation," seemed to
signify that the inatitution solicited foreign aid, and we-e too poor
to supply their own funds. Ile thought a letter of ti arks would
be a sufficient acknowledgement for anything that might be given
to the institution.
Another GICNTLEXAN conceived that the delicacy about re-
ceiving donations was quite out of place. They were not private
individuals who bad tl t it phi ate feelings to consult. lie thought
by adopting this law they would be merely giving persons an op-

. ,
tuartiinity to mlke donations to an Institution *ho,eitbkittylrlla
diffution of knowledge, and which all liberal minds were ever
anxious to do.

The CH•IRMAN, amidst some confusion, pot the law to the
vole, and observed, that unless some more weighty objections were
made, it was impossible that the meeting could. be. eipectid to
listen to such desultory conversation while so much b?itinest re-
mined to be got through.
An individual of singular appearance made some observations as
to the qualifications of a Chairman, and said something shoot kip
r?k being like the Speaker of the House of Commons, but etteirl
not understand his object.
On the seventh rule being pot, which required that after thietfay

mended by two members of it—
A Gentleman observed, that so the Society was not at present
too large the recommendation required should be Rom one menitir
only.
Mr. G. Illefeettard said, that such a rule had. Mee adopted in
the Mechanics' Institution, and that it had not had the rffect ap-
prehended by the last speaker, for that Institution now reckoned
two thousand members.
On the rule which declared that the property of the lintinstion
should be vested in four trustees, by deed, being read—
The CHAIRMAN suggested the propriety that a copy of such
deed should be.laid before a general meeting for their approval
previous to its being executed.
It was finally agreed that a draught of the deed should be left with
the Secretary for the inspection of such of the members as might
wish to peruse it.
Much desultory conversation took place on the rile whfch em.
powered the Committee to expel any member for misconduct.
giving such member a right of appeal to a general meeting of the
subscribers, and declaring that if at such meeting the member ap-
pealing should not be re-admitted, he should never after be eligible
to become a member of the Institution. Two amendment, weve at
length adopted ; one of them limiting the power of lite Committee
to suspension only, and the other requiring the membur who in-
tended to appeal to give twenty-one days previous notice therenf
to the Secretary before the general meeting. The role, hiving
been all agreed to—
Dr. MITCHELL moved a vote of thank, to Peter Noore, eer
hindonation of lao volumes, and to all the other entlernen who
had come forward and contributed to the funds and apparatus of
the Institution, which was tarried unanimously.
The DOCTOR then informed the meeting that the Cornmittee
had engaged for three months some most convient rooms in &frolic.
Street, Strand, belonging to the Society of British Artists, an thot
they would almost immediately commence operations. But in order
that this might be done it was necessary a permanent Commutee
should he formed. It was therefore recommended by the Prnv-
sional Committee that each member should submit the games of
those person, whom they might wish to be nominated on that corp-
mince. The balloding list would be ready on the 2d of December,
and the election would take place on the fith, at the rooms in NC-
fOlk-street. and after that the Society would be eonipletcly organ.
ized, and they might go to work immediately.
Mr. Sk LLTON thouolit that, in order to give a permanent chg.
racter. to Me institution, every endeavour should be made toob-
tain for theniaelveri a building that should comprise every cop.
venient requisite for the purposes of the institution. With drat
view he submitted that subscriptl ins should be opeued for a bead-
ing fund. He should therefore take the liberty of moving a resti-
tution io that effect.
Dr.. cue Lt. seconded the resolution, and it was unanimously
adopted.
3lr. W. BARWISE said, it was most gratifyieg to have arrivAd
at this stage in the formation cif this institution ; nor could it be
leas gratifying to the meeting that they should have had the pit-
tronsge of the Gentleman in the Chair—one who deserved ao mush
from the literary world, and whose fame had so Evspread itself,
that While it gave a character and weight to the institution. it As.
sorsa them of its success, and made them feel that their " not.
sores of Mope" were already realised. ,Cheers.) He conciddei
by moving the thanks of the meeting to Thomas Caumbekt, E.
their able and eloquent Chairman. .
The motion was carried by acclamation.
The CHAIRMAN felt that he ought in decency to offer timm 1111
thanks. It would be arrogance in him if he could depart from an
many of his fellow-citizens utter such an expression of their feelings
towards him without confessing that it touched his heart very sen-
sibly. On his entering the former Meeting, he was suddenly at-
tacked upon the subject of the Provisional Committee, end he had
great feelings excited within him to which he could not then
give vent. In company with many others who felt deeply
for the prosperity of this Institution, he was attacked on the
propriety of becoming himself a Member of that Commiwee;
and, it seemed as if those gentlemen who were nominated to
form it were considered incompetent, because they had not
printed poem., or made speeches in Parliament, (A laugh)
and it was proposed, that he should be tobstituted for one of
these gentlemen. This treatment suggested to him the fol-
l Owing comparison :—Suppose a man who, like himself, was
" living in single blessedriesi,' should he thrown into Ms soeifty
of an amiable young woman. to whom he paid those palita tend
gallant attention, which it was very likely for him tedo ; and
then hie parents should address him thus

unreasonable it would be to say, that all his attentions ,to this
young woman were insincere because he would not marry her. ft
was equally unjust to say, that because a person could not sit upon
• Committee, he was therefore unfriendly to this institution. Be-
sides, lie well knew that Committee duties, like conjugal duties,
admitted of no substitutes. (Laughter.) He was midi aware of
many Committees constituted of persons who made theni their
stalking-horse ; but, catch him on a Committee of that descrip-
tion I Ile believed he knew one or two gentlemen ,belonging
to their Provisional Committee, one of whom had More intel-
lect in his head, and more friendship in his heart—though
perhaps not so much phraseology upon his tongne—than almost
any person he knew. ( Name ! name !) This is no Plvee to
name him. (Much laughter, the gentleman alluded to being
Dr. Place.) He (De. Place) was the first person who Kenai.
mended this Committee to him, and he was sure that a Commiseee
stamped by his approbation was certain to be well composed. The
rules that had been adopted met his entire concurrence. (Hear.)
He thanked them once more for the honour they had done him,
and should not be doing justice to his feelings if he were to take
hit leave af them without giving them his most hearty congratula-
tions.

The meeting then ',mated.
We observe with much pleasure that the subscription
for Mrs. Belzoni is going on successfully. The present
amount advertised exceeds 700!.

AN Imam NATIM—While the President WWI on hoard

At the Mayor's Court, Philadelphia, lately, Charles
Mitchell, a notorious old offender, was convicted on several
indictments for passing counterfeit five dollar bilis of the
Philadelphia Commercial Bank, and sentenced to an im-
prisonment, at bard labour, of twenty-one years. Upwtuds
of 7,000 dollars, in counterfeit bills of that description.
were found in his possession. He war also convicted of
larceny in stealing a watch. It is said that this man fol-
lowed in tile train of General Lafayette, during his late
tour throughout the Sonthern and Western States, and
availed himself of the frequent assemblages of persons
which took place during the General's visits, to commit de-
predations on the public.
SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday, as two geritles
men, named Kay and Williams, were proceeding in a
single-horse chaise along the Waterloo-road, on their
arrival near the Coburg Theatre the animal, being very
playful, was suddenly checked by the driver, when it
instantly darted off, overturned the chaise, and precipitated
both of them with great violence into the middle of the
road. Mr. Kay received no material iujury in the fall, but
Mr. Williams's kg getting entangled with the reins, he
was dragged some distance, had his leg broken, and was
otherwise seriously injured. Medical assietance WAS
promptly procured, and, at first, amputation was thought
necessary, but on inquiry yesterday, hopes were enter-
tained that he will recover without the operation.
Balsams Acetotwr IN LORD LIVERPOOI...IIF?IMTLY.
We are sorry to state that a dreadful accident happened at
Lord Liverpool's residence, at Widmer Castle, on Tuestla).
A servant of the name of Hawkins, who was cook in the
family, had been out during the evening, and returned
home in a state of intoxication. Upon retiring to his own
room, one of his fellow-servants, of the name of Christopher
West, followed him, and ohservipg him take a gun front
the closet of the room, lie endeavoured to get it out of his
hands, and, in the struggle, the gun went off, and lodged
the contents in West's head, whereby lie was iimnatliately
killed. There is not the least ground to suppose that
Hawkins bore any malice or ill-will towards his unfortu-
nate victim. They were always considered in the fatni:y
as particularly friendly towards each other, and there is
every reason to believe that Hawkins did not even know
that the gun was loaded. The Coroner's inquest was to
assemble on Wednesday afternoon. West was brought ula
in Lord Liverpool's family, anti had recently been promoted
to be his Lordship's own servant, for his good conduct.
The sad event has deeply affected Lord and Lady Liver-
pool and all the family.
