long obblisginents, hopping that in this other days, that -ate
Wecloesd4.,- Friday, Soon,ly, and Holy-days, will hdnour
them with their respcetabie presenLes.
This Play higgins at seven o'clock in the night.

In charging the Grand Jury upon the opening of
Michaelmas Term, in Dublin, last Monday,, Judge
DAY, ad% erting to the state of Ireland,'" was happy
to be able to congratulate Gentlemen on the. pertea
tranquillity whicn reigned throughout the Kingdom,
except in perhaps two lesser- parts of two CountieS,
the disturbances in which did not wear the seMblance
or aspett of political discontent. Such as it was, he was
authorised in say, that the Goverrinient were adopting
measures vigilant yet lenient, decisive, but fOrciful,
to explore the cau3B- of complaints, and trace thew
th irespeeliVe .sources.'!
The. Planters in JaniaiCa are said to'be great 50-
ferers by the depredations of the rats.: From-eight
to ten 'hog4heads of sugar out of every hundred •are
destroyed by this voracious. animal. Innumerable
traps are set, and packs of terriers are daily employ-
ed in extirpating these insatiable marauders; .but
though on sorne'estateS no hiss than .50,000 are an-
nually destroyed, there is no sensible diminution in
their numbers.

The,folloWing.melanchely catastrophe occurred at
Brighton on Thursday.' As the pleasure vessel the
Lord Thurloui, with Mn STUART, the owner, and
five other per Sons on board, was endeavouring to
sail round a gun-arig which was lying-to within gun-
shot of the town, ‘s ith her capvas set, though a
stiff breeze predominated from the north east, she
unfortunately missed stays, fed upon her side, and
in less than five minutes filled and sunk." Fortu-
nately. there Was a small punt fixed by a rope toiler
stem, which the men timely .availed themselves of,'
or all would have perished. A-youth,t of the name
of Merchant; was drowned, and Mr. Stuart was
taken our of the water apparently lifeless, by some
-of the fishermen who had put off in boats from the
shore to their assistance the instant- the accident oc-
curred. Stuart, however, is now nearly recovered ;
but the body of the poor boy has not yet been found.
An Inquisition was held at the workhouse of St.
Mary, Lambeth, before CHARLES JEMMETT, Esq.
Coroner for the County of Surrey, on the body of
a child, name unknown, that was found in a box in
an apartment at the house of a Mrs. Hancock, left
there by:a woman named Rekecca Gould, one of
whose illegitimate children it was supposed to be.
Mrs. Hancock and her lodger, of whose causes of
suspicion we have in,a former Number taken notice,
related their part of the case; and Messrs. Barnard
and Daniels, the, parish constables, added, that in
carrying thebox down stairs the bottom tell out, and
the head fell off; the body had been embowelled,
-and it was the putrescent state of them that caused
the offensive effluvia that led to the detection. It
was also in proof, as nigh as it was poisible to n-
certaih; that the child was a female, and that there
had been a cap on the head, and a shift or shirt •on
the body ; in this state it went to the medical gen-
tlernefi, Mr. Hyde and Mr. Heaums, to say it the
child was born in life or not; they said it was not.
The Jury believed them.—A verdict of Still-tarn
was taken, and Miss Gould was liberated.

An escape from Norwich Gaol took place last
week, under rather extraordinary circumstances.,--
__Between five and six o'clock on Wednesday morn-
ing, the keeper of the above prison was alarmed by
a person "who was going to his work, and who had
found the inner gates of the premises immediately
adjoining-forced open. Search was instantly made,
and it was diScovered that one of the walls of an
'apartment, in which a woman named Mary Hudson,
charged with, various felonies, had been confined,
wAs broken through, and the tenant fled. The
wall is two feet in thickness, and the aperture made
in it so small, that it must have been extremely dif-
ficult to get throt:tgh, which, however, the woman
did, taking her infant chili along with ker. In
effeting this enterprize, she must have employed
several nights, and no little labour, for all the bricks
were- nicely' concealed underneath her bed, and the
loose rubbish put into •a pillow-case, another bed in
'the ropm served in the day time to hide the breach
from observation. From several circumstances, par-
ticularly that of two men having been seen lurking
about the yard of the premises above mentioned, on
Tuesday evening, there is every reason 'to believe
'the woman was assisted from without. She .has hi-
`dello eluded all search.
