ALLAN RAMSAY.—The Brethren of the Mason
Lodge of- Balerno, much to their credit, have pre-
pared a monumental stone, with suitable inscriptions,
to the memory of the author of the
.Gentle Shepherd.
It was-erected in .Hablrys How, from which much
of the scenery Of that delightful. Pastoral •was drawn,
in the preience of a numerous and respectable com-
pany, assembled from all the places adjacent. The
-spectacle was uncommonly interesting; and, on the
'conclusion of the ceremony, the whole walked to
Bevely, where they spent thi3 evening in a manner
worthy of the occasion.
Early on 'the morning of Tuesday lot, some per-
sons, unknown, were perceived rowing off from the
American Ship I.,.coices, in Greenock harbour, with
the fenders, which they had cut from the Ship'S sides,'
and some articles they had taken from the forecastle.
The crew of the Frances immediately gave 'cliacelo,
and would have overtaken the depredators, but .tha.t
they, rather than be taken, leaped into the sea, and
abandoned their boat, which was taken possession
of, and is to be sold to pay damages. •
A very unfortunate accident occured at Altona on
the 30th ,ult. A new Opera and military Spectacle
being brought out that night at the theatre, some of
the scenes caught fire in consequence of the frequent
discharges of musketry. This naturally excited much
'alarm among the audience, and so great was the
pressure to get out, that seven persons lost their lives,
and .fifteen .others sustained much injury. The fire,
which produced no material damage, was soon ex-
tioquished..
, A fire was discovered in a newly-built house with,
in two doors. of the late Key, in Chandos-street, on
Saturday morning. The house was closely shut up,
and strong suspicions are entertained that thefire was
occasioned by the act of an incendiary. The stair-
' case had fallen in when the tire was 'discovered, but
the house was saved.
