THE LORD MAYOR.—The prey-.lent report that the
friends of Alderman IVaithinau have it in contemplation to
propose him a wood time as Lord Mayor, is altogether a
fabrication. His eueutie s alone can wish it, for they well
know that the ttempt would be unsuccessful. It is only
oven great occasions that the succession should be disturbed ;
for it acts as a rebuke to those who are passed over, as well
as a reward to 11,e individual re-elect:el—Sunday Pulwr.

Miss M. Tree, of Covent-garden Theatre, arrived at
Southampton on Monday, under an engagement to play
four nights at that Theatre. She played at Manchester on
Saturday evening, and, travelling during almost the whole

tie stage. In consequence, no doubt, of such gr.-at exer-
tions, she was taken very ill on Wednesday with a spitting
of blood, &c.; which, to the great regret of her numerous
admirers, has disqualified her from acting at Southampton
any more this season.
Doting the performance of the farce of Sintpson and Co.
a' the Liverpool Theatre, on Tuesday night last, a great
!arise prevailed behind the scenes ; insomuch that Mr.
Terry , who was then on the stage, as Peter Sintinon, de-
siated from repeating that which " was so down for him,"
and called out witl Seeotonan vehemence, Silence ! The
audience ware a tonished, few knowing the quarter from
which the previous noise proceeded ; but Mr. Terry came
to the front V the stage, and in a few words explained the
cause of his inadvertent exclamation, remarking upon the
difficulty, to as, nothing of the unpleasantntaa, tinder
which an actor laboured, who in the performance of his!
duty to the public was distracted and interrupted by noise
made behind the scenes, by persous unconnected with the
Theatre, whose introduction could not, for many reasons,
lee sufficiently condemned. Three distinct rounds of ap-
plause followed this appeal to the audience, and the farce
proceeded without further interruption.
ArateaN (lac.—:l correspondent requests us to warn
these who in the course of their business have occasion to
work upon African cak, of the poisonous effect of splinters
of it when run into the flesh. Ile states that two sawyers
in his neighbourhood have died from it, and several others
have been laid up. A chemical analysis of the wood would
put an end to all doubts en the sold:set, and perhaps save
some valuable lir.s.
