HANOVER, MAY s.—His Royal Highness the
Viceroy arrived here yesterday at noon from London, in good
health. On the 7th, being the anniversary of his Royal High-
nesss's marriage, the Landgravine of Hesse Homburg will
give a splended ball. We hear from Oldenburg of the death
of Prince Augustus, second son of his Royal Highness the
Grand Duke, born Feb. 15,-1836.
MANCHESTER.—MC little excitement which the
receipt of the American Bonds caused in the market last
week is, we arc sorry to say, completely gone. Yarns are
more heavy, and some numbers have been sold at reduced
prices. Power-loom-cloths have been rather eagerly sought
after by a few capitalists, but at very low prices. Th. re is no
movement of any importance in hand-loom-goods. There has
been a number of London and country buyers in the market
this week, but their purchases generally have been small.—

DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON LOCII LEVEN.—On
the evening of Sabbath last this beautiful lake was the scene
of a sad and distressing occurrence—four persons having met
with a watery grave. Three of them belonged to Perth and
its neighbourhood. Being desirous of visiting the island on
which the ruins of Loch Leven Castle stand, they embarked
in the boat used for the passage, in charge of a young man,
the son of the boatman, but had not proceeded far when a sud-
den gust of wind, in sweeping over the lake, caught the sail
of the boat, and instantly upset her, precipitating► tho,four per-
sons into the water. Three of them caught hold of the boat,
to which they clung for nearly two hours, and in which situa-
tion they were observed from the shore, tut there being no
boat on the Kinross side, it was impossible to render them
any assistance, and the unfortunate men sank to rise no more.

On Tuesday morning the journeymen tailors struck
work, for the purpose of enforcing the prohibition of the em-
ployment of females in the lighter departments of the trade.
The masters acceded to the demands of the men, and work is
reatmod.— Glasgow Chronicle.

Tuesday night, at seven o'clock, an inquest was
held at the George Tavern, in Aldersgate-street, on the body
of John Bates, aged 41, inspector of the nightly watch of
Altiersgate ward. The evidence went to prove that the de.
ceased was a man much respected by all who knew him, and
was considered a highly respectable person, and discharged
the duties allotted to him in his situation to the entire satisfac-
tion of his superiors. He had b.yen much troubled in his mind
in consequence of his wife leaving him with a family of five
children, about four years back. He was much attached to his
wife, and has frequently endeavoured to persuade her to return
home ; but all attempts to prevail on her to return to her home
were useless. On Sunday last he was seen by several persons,
and in course of conversation he often alluded to his anxiety,
by his children being deprived of a mother. Several witnesses
deposed that in their opinion his death occurred from grief.
Mr. Gurney Turner, surgeon of Aldersgate- street Dispensary,
was called to attend the deceased. He found him quite dead.
On opening the body the appearances indicated that he had
died from anxiety of mind. The heart was slightly enlarged,
which probably might have bech occasioned by excessive grief.
Verdict—" Natural death."

Recently there has been discovered at Darley Bridge,
near Matlock, a large and beautiful fossil bed, the stratum of
which is firmly fixed in an immense rock, composed-entirely of
limestone. The specimens- consist chiefly of the oyster and
cockle, interspersed with different species of the eel. These
fussils are in the highest state of perfection, and, upon inspec-
tion, well worth the attention of those who turn their pursuits
to the minutim of antediluvian remains. Both the oyster and
cockle-shells have :it different times been detached from the
limestone in such a perfect state as scarcely to be distinguished
from those newly taken from the ocean.

A hostile meeting took place a day or 'two Since,
between Dr. Henry Ircine, well known in the world of letters,
and a young French gentleman. The dispute originated in a
cafe, where a party of Frenchmen thought fit .to pass offensive
observations on German manners, which M. heine resented
by gravely insulting one of the party. Unfortunately this gen-
tleman was wholly guiltless of the offence in which his com-
panions alone had taken part ; but the insult being publicly
given reparation WiiS necessary. The meeting was not hap-
pily attended with serious consequences, the parties having
separated after an exchange of shots, in which neither was
wounded.

On Wednesday morning the family of Mr. Burnet,
of Charlton Wood, near Woolwich, were surprised at finding
all the doors of the back premises wide open and the garden
strewed with clothes and other articles ahando4ed in, it would
appear, a hurry. Upon examination it was discovered these
were the debris of a daring burglary that had been committed
during the night, without occasioning any alarm to the in-
mates. The whole of the lower part of the house had been
ransacked ; the bureau on the ground-floor, and closets in
the kitchens broken open and emptied of every article of value
in the estimation of the villains. The attempt to force an
entrance had been, in the first instance, by the front kit-
chen-window, the shutter of which is perforated by
a number of kolrs in a circle, by some house-break-
ing implement. This design, however, was abandoned, as
it would appear, probably from observing that there were,
about that time, persons up and moving abcut the adjoining
house, which forms one of a row of five or six, situated in this
retired spot. From this and other circumstances of their being
heard to make e 1 noise in the next house, it is conjectured the
thieves commenced their operations about two o'clock. Foct
marks of a youth and men were discovered in the garden. It
appears they retired over a wall to the back garden, and forcing
the shutters with a jemmy, they unperceived entered, and
effected their object in silence. They even emptied the wash-
ing-tubs of all the shirts, table-cloths, and other valuable
linen placed therein to be washes, and escaped with them,
and a great quantity of wearing apparel and other articles,
without alarming a dog in the adjacent house. There is no
doubt, from concurring circumstances, that the same villains
who have effected no less than four other burglaries in the
parish of Charlton within those few weeks committed this ope.
