Mr. ALEXANDRE, the celebrated Ventriloquist,
gave a gratuitous rehearsal of his entertainment
on Saturday last, at the Adelphi Theatre. His
transformations of person and changes of voice
were so various and so quick that the delusion
was complete, and it was hardly possible to sup-
pose that it was a single individual who had
assumed so many different appearances.
SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning, at five o'clock,
a young man, named John Smith, who resided in Milford-
lane, Strand, was found hanging from a lamp-post at the west
side of St. Clement Danes church-yard. He had been a sea-
faring man, and had squandered away 2501. prize-money in a
shprt period, and left himself without the means of subsistence, ,
which, it is supposed, led to the act. His body was carried to I
St. Clement's watchhouse. 1
