Saltzburg, in Germany. Of the 121 houses which formed the

harvest fe!l a prey to the flames.
Su tiTitwa KK ELECTION NIEETINd..--OTI Thursday the friends
and supporters of Mr. Charles. Calvert, dined together at the
.Grove louse, Camberwell, in contemplation of the event of a
new Parliament. The meeting was very numerous and respect-
' able, as not fewer than GOO sat down to • dinner. Mr. Calvert,
on. h*s health being drank, addressed the Meeting, and in the
course of his speech declared himself a friend to the principle of
Parliamentary Reform.—A number of appropriate toasts were
given, and the utmost good humour and conviviality prevailed
throughout the day.
BRAND COCKET NlATcll.—The return match between the
one-armed and one-leered pensioners of Greenwich Hospital,
for 1000 guineas, was flnally decided at Montpelier Gardens, on
Monday last, in favour of the one-armed players, who had the
advantage of 40 runs. The match was contested for three
days, the first and second inning having been played on the tith
anti 15th inst. and the conclusion of the march having been post-
poned in consequence of the wet weather being so much to the
disadvantage of the wooden legs, several of the players having
lost their timbers in running. As soon as the match was
decided, the victors exultingly returned home to Greenwich in a
triumphal car, with all the usual trophies of rejoicing.
THE Guossr DE•rec ren.—A Ghost, who for some nights
past amused himself by terrifying the inhabitants of Kensington-
gore by his pre nks, was caught on Sunday night by Mr. Wilson,
of Kensington, in the act of starting forth to alarm the timid
passenger. He was dressed in a white sheet; and, on being
seized, at once discovered himself an inhabitant of the earth by
the most moving cries for mercy. Mr. W. at first determined
to conduct 411bn before a Magistrate, hut perceiving that he was
the son of a Genslernan of respectabnit y in Hammersmith, he
satisfied himself with consigning him to the hands of the mr.b,
• who immed.ately handed him into a horse-trough near the spot
of its first discovery, where be soon had reason to lament the
imprudent sort nt amusement he had chosen.
