A letter from Munich states, that all the wooden
machinery, the scenes, &c., of the new Theatre, would have a
coating put upon them of a newly-invented vitreous varnish,
which would render them perfectly incombustible. The ex-
pence would not exceed 5,000 florins—about 400/. sterling. A
Dr. Fuchs is the inventor.

Died, on the 3d ult., at his hotel in St. Peters-
burgh, General UwAtiow, General of Cavalry, and Comman-

WORCESTER AND GLOUCESTER UNION CANAL.
—Amongst the numerous speculations which have been set on
fbot in the present day for the employment of capital, there is
none which is calculated to do more real service to this
district than the formation of a canal from this city to Wor-
cester. The public will at once perceive, that as an adjunct
to the Gloucester and Berkeley Canal, this is a measure
of the very first importance, as it will be the means of sup-
plying the only link which was wanting to complete the chain
of water communication, for heavy goods and merchandize,
between the western, northern, and eastern parts of the king-
dom. From the state of the navigation of the river Severn, be-
tween this and Worcester, which is alike impracticable in dry
seasons, and in times of flood, the establishment of such a
canal has long been deemed a desideratum, and, as might be
expected, when the plan was once suggested it received the most
strenuous support. The shares appropriated to this city were
filled up in a very few hours, and we understand that they were
subscribed for with the same readiness at Birmingham and
Worcester. We are happy to find that, as a preliminary step,
not a moment will be lost in applying to the very first quarter
for estimates, plans, &c. a proceeding which cannot fail to ha
highly satisfactory to the public, and give additional conti.
dente to all who are disposed to embark property in this specu-
lation.—( Gloucestsr Journal. )
POMPEII.—Mr. TA Y Lou, who is engaged in
his researches at Pompeii, in a letter to his friend, Mr. Nodicr,
dated Pompeii, Nov. 16, 1824, says—" In one of the rooms of
those baths (speaking of some hot baths recently discovered),
my attention has been particularly attracted by three seats
made of bronze, of a form entirely unknown, and in the highest
state of preservation. On one of them was placed the skeleton
of a female, whose arms and neck were covered with jewels ;
in addition to gold bracelets, the form of which was already
known, I have taken off the neck of the skeleton a necklace, the
workmanship of which is absolutely miraculous. I assure you
that our most skilful jewellers could make nothing more elegant,
or of a better taste. It has all the beautiful workmanship of the
Moorish jewels which I examined at Granada, and of the saute
designs which are to be found in the dresses of the Moorish
women, and on the Jewesses of Tetuan, on the coast of Africa.
The bracelets form a single ring, and are so perfectly resem-
bling each other, that one would suppose them manufactured
by the same artist. The principal hall of the bath is covered
with beautiful ornaments, and the cornice is supported by an
infinite number of small figures in alto-relievo of a very original
character. It is difficult to describe the charm that one feels
in touching these objects on the very spot where they have
stood for ages, and before the illusion is entirely destroyed.—
One of the windows was covered with magnificent glass, which
has just been deposited in the Museum of Naples.'
In the reign of 11 EN Rl' VIII. the fields in the
neighbourhood of London had become so inclosed with hedges
and ditches, that the citizens could neither shoot nor even walk
in them. This so grieved the Londoners, that in the sixth
year of that King's reign "a great number of the City," says
Hall, "assembled themselves in a morning; and a turner, in
a fool's coat, came crying through the City ' shovels and
spades ! shovels and spades!" So many of the people followed
that it was a wonder to behold ; and within a short space all
the hedges about the City were cast down, and the ditches
filled up, and every thing made plain, such was the diligence
of these workmen."
GOOD LUCK AT MANcitEsTEK.—The THIRTY
THOUSAND POUND PRIZE, No. '2,478, drawn

Agent in that town.
A door in New 13ond-street hears at present

attractive inscription :—" The upper part of this

niences !"

There is now living, in the Alms-house at Hay,
Breconshire, Ann Watkins, and her daughter,
whose united ages amount to 180, the tnother

COURT LNET.—This day, at twelve o'clock, a
Court Leet was held at the Westminster Sessions
house, before
of Burgesses, for the purpose of receiving the
report of the Annoyance Grand Jury against va-
rious persons who have been convicted by them
for having short weights, &c. The cases of se-
veral individuals thus fined now appealed against
the conviction, in some of which they were in
part mitigated, and in others the full penalty was
ordered to be enforced.
