LIVZPPOOL,

Frola. the following Letter from Liverpool, we art happy to
• find that the report of the Yelow Fever having made its
appearance in that Town is unfounded. The report in the
London Papers I.Vas copied -front a Paper printed near Live.-
pool, and-wa.s insserteu in several London Papers tietiire it
made its'-appearanse in ours. ,

,_VEAY considerable uneasiness has arisen to per-
sons connected with Liverpool, living at a distance,
from an article in yOur Paper of the' 28th ult. stating
that an Epidemic Disease pre tails here, occasioning
great mortality, supposed to be imported froth the
WeSt IndieS,- and feared to be the Yellow Fever.—,
In consequence of this alarm, a meeting took place
this morning of the Physicians of the Infirmary and
Dispensary, where it was unanimously agreed to
contradict this--statement ; and by their appoint-
ment I have to request that you iwill insert-a para-
gragh in your Paper to the following purport.:
" We have the' authority' of; the Physicians • of,
Liverpool for declaring, that no Epidemic. yrevails:
there, supposed to—be imported.. from .the West
Indies, or baying any affinity in its symptoms to
the Yellow Fever.

" • The* Diseases there at present have nothing.'
uncommon in their nature. The most distressing
is a bowel complaint, assuming all the various forms,
of Diarrhcea, Cholera, and Dysentery, which is not
confined to Liverpool, but extends over a great
part of the West of England, and North Wales. It
occurred last year at the same season, but was not
so general, or so severe. The sickness and morta.'
lity, though unusually_ great, have been much ex-
aggerated by rumour, and are, it is hoped, on the
decline. Last year this Epidemic ceased entirely
in the present month."

This-, or to this efFed, 'be pleased to insert, and
to such as may inquire, give, in addition to my
name, tile respeCtable authority of Dr. BRAND-
ROTH'S, Dr. GERARD'S, and Dr. M'CAR TNEY.'S.
Be pleased to give this Paragraph some degree of
publicity.
In haste, I have the honour to he, Sir, your
obedient servant. , _

. . . .
The news of the Peace produced a greater sen-
sation in this town, than it wilt probably ,have
done in any part of the kingdom. We look with
the greatest confidence to the extension of our ma,
nufaclures, and that kind of contest with France,
in which, though the materials may be iron and
steel, and though
,the tools beedged, no mortal
wounds will be inflicted. Competition in a foreign
market is never to be feared by English workmen.
I send you a Song which was written and print..
ed in less than two hours after the news of the
signing of. Preliminaries. arrived here, and was
sung with great enthusiasm •by numerous Societies
to whom the Author Sent copies. A general sen-
timent of joy pervaded every countence, and
the rejoicings and, illuminations were very general.
The Birmingham Loyal Association fired a feu, de
joye,
,and a general invitation was given to the
' whole Corps to dine at Major
.TOML I NsoWs, where
the annexed was sung, with reiterated plaudits, by
Captain SiE.Y•

The great impediment to the sale of the Dublin
Theatre is said to be the unwillingness of the pre..
sent Manager toi dispose of it. HOLMAN and his
friends have been very much disappointed on this
occasion ; and the former' in particular, has lost a
very probable chance of acquiring a good fortune.

Moßtoy has not been induced by his • late pecu-
ttiary acquisition to desert the dramatic Muse: He
has a Comedy nearly in readiness for Covent-Garden
Theatre, and his friend REYNOLDS one in a finished
state for the same place: . .
CooicE has sent his Dresses to town: We hOpc
he will himself Oen foiloW) and leave ,beliod him
all bad habits,

WEICI4SELL has raised hithielf 'the highest
rank as a Leader by his manner of cOnduaing the
Band on Saturday last at .Covent. Garden Theatre.
As a Solo Performer .on the violin his merit has
been long known. His judicious manner of adcom.
panying.his Sister eertainly gives her voice ftl,l,poS.:
Ole advantage, while at the same time he displays
his own powerful talents in tones .of corresponding
sweetness.

.1T is well known; and we mention the circum-
stance to his honour; that this Gensknyan waS

originally a coMmOn labotiring•Brieklayer ; and we
mel.tiOn-the Subjeclin .order to introduce an Ares:
date_.with it, which the worthy Magistrate often
repeats with great satisfa4ion find delight.
. .
In the humble situation -We .ha.ve Mentioned, he
happened at a very early age to be ernployed in re.:
pairing-the•Parionage-house :at Uxbridge.
up,the ladder one day with his hod and mortar,
he was,. accosted by -'the Parson's wife, -whO
.told him she had had a very extraordinary
dream.' She told him that she had dreamed 'he
.would one day become Lord Mayor of London !
Astonished.at such a prophecy, STAINES could only
scratch .his head, and think ler Honour for think-
ing of such a vast protriOiihn. He said he had:nei-
ther money nor.friends ; -and, in short, the business
of the dream was only.consideted,as dreams ought
to be, and was very soon forgo..:ten
The Parson's wife, however, was not so easily
to be turned from her prognostications, and the .
dream had evidently left a' great- impression. Her
mind was bentOnyoung STAINES, ancf Lord Mayor •
he should be. Accordingly, the same dream occc,t_,
red again, and the same communication repeated to
him, that he was born to be Lord- Mayor. The
matter thus -passed off, and young•STAI N left the
parsonage house at Uxbridge with no other impres-
sion than the kindness 'Which had been shown, and
the notice that•hact been taken of him. •-• "

It was not until I.4r..stAlNEs.Wa's made Sheriff
of' London, that thisdream became much the sub-
jea of notice, though we think there is -tittle doubt.
but that it had made a lasting impression, on his
mind, and probably was an incentive 'to laudable,
industry through life. The Uxbridge Parson had
by this time become old; but he lived long enough
to be, the Sheriff's Chaplain, and died' during the
Sheriffalty,
But this is not the only miracle which has :cc-,
curred arid'becii'verified during Mr. STAinEs's pro,
gress through life and
_.we can vouch for the fol-,
lowing:being as-authentic- and much more extraor.
dinary than the—foregoing. An old Lady many'
years ago foretold-fr M-r STAINESS fortune.. She-
said that he Wouldtbe Lord •Mayor. during a period
cf turbulence
,and:, scarcity ; that we should be at
war with France abut if-6616ring his Mayoralty,
peace and plenty-would be restored.

The worthy MagisrraietAvis-lately relating this
and other anecdotes, which he is fond of doing over
pis pipe and a glass ; he observed on the.propheey
DI his old friend, bUt expressed great doubt; of its
being fulfilled in /regard to a Peace. Mr. S'rkixEs
has happily lived to see even this fulfilled; and as
he has yet five weeks to cOntinue in his MayoraltY,
he hopes he shall go out of ofiice when bread is nine
pence the quartern loaf! May his' hdpes be verified.

Chaloner was also convicted in the like penalty 'for
a similar offence ; and alsb in a further penalty of .
+cis. for not furnishing tlioSoldieri with candles.
Last week the Magistrates 'of Bath fined 'two
Bakers. in the sums ,of four ,and two pounds, for
selling new bread;, and on Thursday another Baker
there paid the full penalty of ten pounds for the like'
offence, The informer is a Baker; and had been
fined herself----but knowing that others also broke
through the Aa of. Parliament, she laid these in-
formations, and having been thus reimbiirsed her
own fine; she gave the overplus, amounting to three
pounds, between the Bath Casualty-Hospital and

O'BRIEN, the famOus Irish 'giant, lately died at
Bristol, He was eight feet sik inches in height.—
This man, when lie first began to derive a subsist-

was deeply, affeded by a sense of humiliation;• and
often shed teats When,. among the crowd whom
cutiosity atttasted, any speetator treated him with
respel. In time, however, . all -these tender feel,'
ings were intitely Subdued; and he Was, latterly as
much distinguished for insolent pride as lie was be-
fore for modest deje(tion: Such transitions; how-
ever; are no; uncommon in great men.
