presence, amounted to upwards of 9001.

A concert rnonstre was given at Vienna, on the sth
inst., in the Imperial Riding-school. The orchestra was
composed of 1,100 musicians, and by noon 5,000 auditors
had taken their seats. The Emperor and Empress were
present, and the " Creation" of Haydn was performed with
a degree of precision and spirit seldom equalled.

THE QUEEN.—During the time her Majesty,
while Princess Victoria, was residing at Claremont, she was
much in the habit of taking walks with her illustrious mo-
ther in the neighbourhood, to enjoy views of the fine
country which surround Esher. In one of these excur-
sions, while walking in a beautiful and shady lane not far
from the park, they found themselves close to an encamp-
ment of the Egyptian tribe, and had not long been in sight
before the youthful Princess was addressed by a bright-
eyed girl with the usual words, " Tell your fortune, my
dear ; you were born to good luck ; you shall have a Lord
across the seas now ; you shall have seven children and a
carriage to ride in," the poor little girl little knowing at
the time to whom she addressed herself. The Princess
was proceeding with the Duchess of Kent, when the girl
asked her for a trifle to assist her poor mother, who was
very ill : with a heart ever touched by the cry of poverty,
our interesting young Queen quickly desired to be con-
ducted to the poor woman, whom they found extended on a
hard and comfortless bed, suffering much. After leaving,
a donation they departed ; but the following morning, not-
withstanding its being a day of drizzling rain, saw the cha-
ritable young Princess at the gipsey's encampment, followed
by an attendant, carrying blankets, warm clothes, a black
bonnet, food, &c., and appeared in no small degree delighted
when the poor woman presented her with a beautiful,
though s:varthy infant, which had been born during the
night. The Princess, after requesting that the little
stranger might be christened by the name of her attendant,
Walter, left them amidst showers of blessings from the
tribe. This story was related to a young lady by the gip-
sey, who was hired to sit for her picture.—Sunday Paper.
Last night, about half-past six, a lady, genteelly
dressed, about 3.5 years of age, was found on the stair lead-
ing to the upholstery warehouse of James Whyte and Son,
Queen-street, in a state of insensibility, having evidently
slipped a foot and fallen back on the stair, in consequence of
which the back part of her skull was fractured. She was
carried into the warehouse, and every assistance that tha
best medical aid and humanity could suggest was afforded
her. She had three rings on her fingers—one of them a
marriage ring, having the letters J. W. A. K., and the date
7th November, 1827, engraved on the inside of it. She
had on a crimson silk mantle, striped printed buff gown,
white straw bonnet, lined with brown figured satin, and a
black blond full net cap, with blond border. The shoes
were marked inside, " Mrs. Wilson." Information having
been conveyed to the police-office, Captain Miller was early
on the spot, and everything has been done to find out the
lady's relations, but us yet without success. Every infor-
mation will he given by Messrs. Whyte, or by Captain
Miller, at the police-office. The lady died about eight this
morning.—Glasgow Chronicle of Wednesday.
PAISLEY.—The final sentence of Ann Semple ar-
rived on Thursday. Her punishment has been commuted
to five years' imprisonment in Glasgow 13ridewell.

About ten o'clock, on the 4th inst., two men, named
Cook and Bromfield, accompanied by a large ferocious dog,
were discovered la)ing snares for game in the Earl of Co-
ventrfs preserves, in the parish of Holy Cross, near Wor-
cster. The keeper immediately challenged the men, who
set the dog upon him, the animal fastening on his throat,
and dreadful y lacerating him. Assistance arrived, and a
desperate encounter between the keepers and the poacher;
took place, in which James Bromfield was killed, and Cook
secured, and lodged in Worcester gaol. The keeper was
so dreadfully lacerated that he was unable to attend before
Thursday, when Cook was fully committed for trial at the
next Assizes.—Worcester Journal.

" When Lord Dudley Stuart," says the SiMc,
" dined at the Tuileries a few days ago, another English
nobleman present at the dinner remarked to him that he
was more Polish than Enzlish. The Duchess of Orleans
caught up the words, and, addressing Lord Stuart with
wavily, said, My Lord, you could not have charged your-
self with a better cause, nor could the Poles have chosen a
more worthy advocate.' These words of the Duchess, and
the warmth with which they were pronounced, struck the
persons assembled with astonishment. For a few seconds
an embarrassing silence ensued, and it was remarked that
the King, after the words of the Duchess, put Lis hand. on
his heart and bowed, as a token of assent."

The Lords of the Treasury having granted the favour
of bonding tobacco to the port of Yarmouth, .5,000/. worth
of manufactured tobacco was immediately deposited in the
warehouses.—Bury Herald.
A court-martial was held at Chatham on Monday,
for the trial of Ensign Charles Sheffield Dickson, for con-
duct unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentle-
man, in having been seen on the evening of Sunday, the
17th of September, in a disgraceful state of intoxication in
Chatham barracks, and while in that state with having
fired off pistols loaded with powder and ball, thereby en-
dangering the lives of Ensign Irby, of the .51st regiment,
and other officers of the same corps. The witnesses ex-
amined in support of the charge stated that Ensign Dick-
son had fired several times at Ensign Irby. The first time
the cap went off, and the second time Ensign Irby struck
the pistol away, and the ball lodged in the ceiling, and the
prisoner afterwards fired through the door of a room, in
which Ensign Irhy was with another officer. The Court
adjourned till Friday to hear the prisoner's defence, when he
expressed great contrition for his conduct, and said he was
not conscious of any intention to injure any one. The
sentence will not be promulgated till it has received the
royal confirmation.

On Saturday night, between eight and nine, a la-
bouring man named John Riley, who lived in John-street,
Walworth, was brought into Charing Cross Hospital, suf-
fering under dreadful injuries received just before by falling
from a second floor window of No. 8, Adelphi-terrace. He
was on the sill, cleaning the window, when he let go his
hold, and was precipitated head foremost on the footway.
When raised up he was evidently dying, his whole struc-
ture having beesi literally smashed. He expired shortly
after he reached the hospital. On Friday morning, be-
tween 10 an 11 o'clock, as a servant named Ann Pearce
was cleaning the windows on the first floor of the house of
James Broughton, Esq., of Gower-street, Bedford-square,
she overbalanced herself, and fell upon the iron rails be-
neath, on one of which she hung until lifted off by some
persons passing at the moment, who conveyed her to the
hospital in a fainting state from loss of blood, where she at
present remains in a very precarious condition.
We regret to state that Mr. Dowse,. the enterpris-
ing vanager of the Leeds, York, and Hull Theatres, has
!net with a very serious accident. A few days ago, whilst
joining in a dance on the stage, from some cause or other
he was thrown down, by which he broke the tondo-Achilles
