INFANTRY.

11th Foot—lt was stated last week that Colonel Goldie had
been recalled from Canada to assume the command in New
Brunswick. This is an error, the Colonel not having been
to Canada. On Sir John Harvey's being summoned to Que-
bec, the temporary command of the province devolved upon
Colonel Goldie ; upon Sir John's return to Fredericton, Co
lonel Goldie resumed the command of his corps, which, we a-e
happy to be enabled to assert, is in the best possible state of effi-
ciency for service, notwithstanding their having been shifted
about front pilar to post. The order for the return of this
giment to England in the spring is countermanded for the
p.escW.

lieved by the first division of the second battalion of the 60th.
48th—The service companies at Fermoy, under Lieut.. Col.

AN ANTI-TEE-TOTALLER.--There is a man in
the employ of Messrs. Green and Kershaw, corn millers, of
Halifax, of the name of William Luty, who for the last six
years and three hundred days (Sundays excepted) has walked
from the top of Elland to Halifax and back at night daily,
being a distance of seven miles, and consumed not less than
a gallon of the essence of John Barleycorn each day; thus
completing a distance of 15,204 miles, and drinking sixty
barrels and two-thirds of ale of thirty-six gallons each.—

THE LATE FRIGHTYUL OCCURRENCE IN ALD-
GATII CHURCHYARD. —Yesterday a highly respectable meeting
of the inhabitants of St. Botolph's, Aldgate, was held at
Aldgate Church, for the purpose of taking into:consideration
the best means of raising a subscription for the relief of the
distressed widows and orphans of the two unfortunate men
who fell victims to the foul air generated in the newly-made
grave in Aldgate Churchyard en Friday morning last. A
Committee was appointed to receive subscriptions, and before
the meeting separated about 501. was collected. Sir James
Shaw gave 51. It was stated that the widows and children of
both the men who perished are in great distress ; it was stated
farther, that the young man, Ludditt, had on previous occa-
sions saved more than one person from almost certain death.

DUBLIN THEATRE ROYAL.—On Wednesday the
combination of musical talent, in the persons of Madame Per-
siani, Signors Rubini, Nigri, and Emiliani, attracted a nume-
rous and brilliant audience to the theatre. There was a grand
vocal and instrumental concert, comprising some of the choicest
productions of Bellini, Rossini, and Donizetti. Persiani and
Rubini were in magnificent voice, and so intense was the de-
light which their equisite execution communicated, that every
piece was rapturously encored. The first and third acts of
Donizetti's opera of Lucia di Lammermoor, Madame Persiani
as Lucia, and Signor Rubini as Edgardo, concluded the even.
ing's amusements. —Dublin Evening Mail.
THB APPROACHING FESTIVAL AT GLOUCES-
TER.—This festival promises to eclipse all the former efforts
of the three choirs ; neither exertions nor expense having
been spared to render it as attractive in all its arrangements as
possible. It is, moreover, the only musical festival on an ex-
tensive scale likely to be bold in the provinces this year, and
consequently engages a larger share of public attention. Indeed,
the enormous expenses attendant upon the getting up of these
music meetings are enough to deter their warmest advocates
from attempting any thing of the kind; even the large com-
mercial towns appear afraid and are wholly silent. The gentry
of our own county, notwithstanding the largeness of the per-
sonal responsibility which they incur, and with the losses of
former years upon record to damp their ardour, have nobly
determined that the triennial festival which they are in turn
this year called upon to observe, shall be conducted on a scale
of splendour unsurpassed by any previous meeting, and we
heartily trust that the liberality of the stewards' example will
communicate itself among the visitors, and that a correspond-
ing effect will be found to result, especially in the collections
for the charity, which, we hope, will surpass those of former
years as much in amount as does the meeting in its musical
attractions.— Cheltenham Looker-on.

An inquest was held yesterday in Bond-street on
the body of Mr. Wilkinson, foreman to a builder in North-
street, Red Lion-square. A witness deposed that himself,
the deceased, and others were at work at the house of Dr.
Stone, in Clifford-street, New Bond-street. The deceased
was superintending the painters, and was painting the interior
of the skylight at the top of the house above the well staircase,
whilst so engaged he was standing on the top of a pair of
steps which were placed on a plank about a foot in width.
Witness was at work at a short distance from him, the steps
gave way, and the deceased with the steps was precipitated
down the well staircase to the lower part of the lottilding, a
height of nearly fifty feet. He was taken up apparently life-
less, and in a shockingly mutilated condition. He died in
about ten minutes after the fall. Deceased was quite sober
at the time. Verdict—Accidental Death."'
ACCIDENT TO LORD ROLLE.—OR Tuesday last
Lord Rolle had attended the Sessions at Woodbury, and was
returning to Bicton, driving himself in a four-wheel pi wton.
When about half way home the carriage broke, the fore-part
dislodging itself from the hind part, so that the horse was se-
parated from the carriage—the body of the carriage over-
turning and falling on Lord Rolle, by which his Lordship dis.
located his shoulder, and was overwise bruised. A messenger
was immediately despatched to Bicton for the carriage (his
Lordship sitting on the bank the while), when he proceeded
home, and the dislocation was reduced. We may add that the
servant, who was sitting on the dickey, was thrown a consider-
able distance. We are glad to be enabled to state that up to
last night the Noble Lord was doing particularly well, without
any fever or dangerous symptoms whatever.— Western Times,
Sept. 7.

A few nights ago an attack was made upon a house
on the Place du Trone, at Paris, inhabited by the Baroness
G—, whose husband was absent on business. Two men
introduced themselves into the garden, while a third stationed
himself on the wall next the Rue de Picpus, in order to keep
watch during the operations of his comrades. The Baroness
being aroused from her sleep by the noise made in the garden,
rose softly and went to the window, which she gently opened,
and distinctly saw three men attempting to effect a forcible
entry into a roem on the ground floor. With great courage
and presence of mini the lady seized a pair of loaded pistols
belonging to her husband, and fired both simultaneously at the
robbers, who returned the fire from the garden ; a ball from
one of their pistols passing through the window, and lodging
in the ceiling of the apartment, immediately above the
Baroness's head. The alarm having been given, the servants
of the hoaie rushed into the garden in pursuit of the three
malefactors, who, however, succeeded in making their escape.
The next morning the Baroness made her declaration to the
judicial authorities, who immediately ordered measures to be
taken for the protection of her person and property, especially
as two similar attacks had, at a short interval between each
other, been made upon her house subsequently to the latter
end of June. On both of these former occasions the Baroness
had acted with the same resolution displayed by her on the
last-mentioned attack, firing in both cases upon the robbers,
one of whom she had on the second attempt severely wounded.

At Guildhall yesterday a number of tailors as-
sembled to hear a complaint mide by a Mr. Kaye. a slopseller,
in Aldersgate-street, against a journeyman named Marshal, for
absenting himself without giving a week's warnine-. In de-
fence it was shown that Mr. Kaye was in the habit of dig.
charging his men without notice. The Magistrate said, that
whatever might ix:. the custom of the trade, Mr. Kaye ap-
ucate4 to have established a custom in his house of dispensing
with notice, and he must abide by it. He, therefore, dis-
missed the complaint.

Mori, toffether with Madame Cris', Madame Albertazzi, La-
blah' Ivanoff, Sze gave a concert on Monday at Binning-
hame;ethe following evening they Ferrol med in Manchester;
on Wednesday evening they gave a concert in Liverpool ; on
Thursday another in Manchester; last evening another in
Liverpool, and to-night (Saturday) they give a second con-
cert in Birmingham. They have thus visited the two greatest
towns in the north of England, and the capital of the midland
counties twice in the course of six days, and remained two
nights in each town, during a space of time nearly one-half of
which, under the old s)stcm or, travelling, would have been
alone consumed on the road.—Liverpool Chronicle.

Tracheotomy, or opening of the wind-pipe, has in
soveral instances in this neighbourhood been resorted to with
rrfect success. Very recently two valuable horses have been
savt.d by this mode of treatment.—Sussex Express.
