The following singular and interesting anecdote, .
which evinces in an eminent degree the kind and charitable
(disposition of the late King, has been communicated to u,
from a quarter that leaves no doubt of its accuracy :—A short
time ago the curate of an Irish church in the metropolis wrote
Ito his mother in the north of Ireland, desiring her to come tt
'London, for the purpose of teaching him the Irish dialect, of
which he was ignorant, in order that he might be enabled to :.‘.
instruct the Irishmen in a particular part of London, where
they are very numerous. His mother not having the means
lof performing so long a journey, and being anxious to oblige
her son, wrote a letter to the King, appealing to his Ma. ''
Ijesty's benevolence, with this superscription :—" To the King,
London." The letter reached its destination, and being put
linto the King's hands, his Majesty, having made the necessary :
'inquiries, and satisfied himself of the accuracy of the represen- '
tation, very generously gave 25 guineas, which was fowardee ,
for the mother in Ireland, through Lord Melbourne. The sop ‘
mentioned the fact, without divulging the name of the family,
in a sermon which he preached on the death of his Majesty.—

Another fire, making the fifth which has taken
place in the parish of Silverton, within a few weeks, was
discovered on Wednesday last, about ten o'clock in the morn- L-
ing, in the outhouses belonging to the Combe Satchfield pro-;
perty. The alarm was given within a very short time from,
its first igniting, and the fire was soon got under. The buildings
were about to be taken down, so that no absolute loss has oc-
currcd ; notwithstanding this circumstance, however, we can-
not
l but regret the demon.like spirit which must actuate some .
parties in this neighbourhood, for that many of these fires have '4
been the work of incendiaries there is no doubt.— Western

M. Louis de Maynard, the author of the novel
called " Outre Mer," was killed at Martinique, on the 21st,
May, in a duel, his adversary's ball having passed through his..
heart.
On Thursday morning, at four o'clock, a meeting
took place near the borders of the county of Cork, between
'Henry Seymour Wyatt, Esq., attended by Major B—de, and
Ralph Weatrop Jameson, Esq., attended by E. I. W—e,
Esq. Upon the first exchange of shots Mr. Wyatt was grazed,
in the chest, when, by the intervention of the seconds, the
business terminated, and the gentlemen left the ground upon
friendly terms.—Cork Constitution.
A singular phenomenon was witnessed on Tuesday
evening in this city ( Canterbury). The residents within and
near the precints of the Old Castle, at the southern entrance
of the city, were alarmed in the n'ght-time by a stream ofr ed
night, apparently issuing from the old ruins, as if a fire was
raging below. As little of this fortress now remains but the
touter walls, which enclose a coal-yard and a part of the gas-1
works, it was at first feared that by some means the inflamma-
blel
i material had become ignited. On repairing to the spot itl
!was discovered that the light emanated from an innumerable)
;swarm of small insects, which had collected on the walls andl
about the old ruins. The moon was not visible ; and, with
the exception of the spot on which they had located, all was;
darkness. With the morning sun the little creatures disap-1
peered. About 30 years ago a similar phenomenon was wit-,
finessed on these walls.—Kentish Gazette.
