thedictates of his philosophy, prefer the memory of

which surround him, he would finally agree to
their union. Learearise, an Italian Lady, who is

a refined morality; but they were occasionally
prolix. and assumed an sir of declamation, which
became tedious. This defect can, however, he
very easily ru•ciified, without at all impairing
the general interest of the piece.—The Music,
by Mr. Hnax. exhibits powers of a very supe-

masterly composition. It is impos-ible to give
an adequate idea of the exquisite beauty of

PAILTICULAR PROVIDENCE.—One night in last
December, a child of two years and two months
the son of DAVID Pact. of near
T---, County Westmeath, was put to bed a■
usual ; bat in a few minutes after he got up, and
refusal to go again to bed, so that his mother was
at last constrained to correct him, after which he
was put to bed as before but in a very Few minute,
be rose again, and obstinately refus-il to stay in
bed. Lie received a correction similar to the tor-
suer, and once more was put to bed, after which the
psrenis retired to rest in another room. to the
morning, a girl who slept with the chilli informed
the palmate, that after being in bed for some time,
be became untasy, and got out of bed, she also
arose, and went with him to another room, where
they slept quietly until morning, at which time the
father discovered, that the roamer the room where
the child initially slept, had fallen in during the
night. so that if he and the girl had been in their
Dom bed, they must have been killed.—( Freesias's
Jowled.)
At Norwich Cattle Market on Saturday last, there
was hut little fat beef. which was sold at 95. d I. per
stone, but that of a very prime quality is worth ids.
to the grazier.—There was a good supply of tat
mutton, which was bought at uJ. per lb.—The
pros of store sheep were tolerably well tilled, but
the purchases were very few. The show of Scotch
beast. was very large, but although they were offer-
ed to ale at much lower prices, scarcely any burl-
11e11r was tianrartede-r-Fat pork continues cheaper,
9t. per atone, and store hogs are not so
dear.

OH Saturday evening. as Sir W. Ontisratosu and
Lord MIERDEGIO were r►turning in • pilot coach
from Brighton. to Sir WILLIAN's house in Harley-
st►eet. • trunk. contsining two gold mans and some
Orders of Merit. from the Two Sicilies and Malta.

the trunk unopened at • tradesman's bowie in Ox-

to cut sway the trunk in Oriford.street, and three

lodged at the house in question.

ROBBERY OF ST. PJUL'S CA? lEDRAL.

It is the opinion of the Pubce Officere, that the
rubbery of the above Cathedral is what is called. in
the .1414 lanuage. a pet•op robbery; or that the
quantity and value of the plate, the place where
it was klit, and the way to get at it, were eU pre-
vinusly well known, and the crime coasmitted by
persons perfectly acquainted with the place. The
weight bas been erroneously stated at 7uu ounces,
whereas it was 176 U ounces. It had very lately
been new double gilt, which gave it the appear-
ance of gold. The robbers most hive passel nine
doors Of raft before they cuold get ut the property.
The master-key was kept in a closet where coie of
the Vergers iiNisslly placed his silver staff; but that
was not stolen, although it is supposed the key was
wsed to effect the robbery. It is thought by some
the locks might have easily been picked with ske-
leton keys.
An attempt to steal the plate from the above Ca-
thedral wee made twenty-seven years stove. The
robbers then got as fa► as a closet whets the keys
were kept ; hut whether they were prevented trolls
proceeding by being alarmed, or by their light go-
ing out. it was never ascertained.
