the necessity of his being sent to the County Gaol, and that he
would be allowed to remain at his tutor's, on an understanding
that the corstable in whose hands the warrant had been placed
would also be permitted to reside in the house, and to accompany
him whenever he left it. Mr. Leith did not answer to his name,

College on the preceding evening. The funeral will take place
to.morrow, and it is intended to introduce the body into the
Chapel while the Collegians are assembled there, when an address

nature, and which threw a damp upon the pleasures of the even-
ing, occurred during the representation of the Incat,tstion scene,
at the Bawkins'-street theatre, on Monday night. A person of
respectable appearance, who, it seems. was witnessing the perform-
ance from the flies or carpenter's gallery over the stage, by some
mischance missed his footing, and fell from a height of upwards of
twenty•four feet. The violence of the concussion produced by the
fall of the unfortunate man created considerable rlarm in the house.
Ile was taken up in a state of insensibility, dreadfully bruised,
particularly on the lace, which was also much 'scented. A pro-
fessional gentleman of great eminence, Mr. Kean, surgeon, of
South Frederick-street, who was in the boxes, immediately re-
pair:til behind the scenes, and afforded the hapless sufferer the most
prompt and effectual assistance, after which he was conveyed to
Jervis-street hospital. The Managers, and other gentlemen con-
nected with the stage, paid every attention which humanity sug-
gested to the unfortunate Individual, who, we regret to I•arn, Is
considered in cage= danger.—D4lin hforniv Star.
