SHDDE7sT DEATIrOF CORR' THE COMPOSER.-7
Mr. D. Count, well known as a composer And teaeherof
nenee for the last fifty years, in, London and Edinhtirgh,'ex-
pired suddenly at Hampstead, on Sunday last, at the age of 88:
The opera of the T ?welter:, the Bird Song in, the Caine, and
the
.Singer's Preceptor, were the Past effort .of his once great
genius. During.the last six years a very rapid decay of nature
"Wei Within,rfie last•six months fits of.insanity wete
rather frequent : the increasing infirmity of his mind had ren-
dered it necessary,
,to employ a Medical person to have' the -tare
of hint, and a Doctor was appointed to.whom the deceased was
well known. He was to have removed next wtek, when death
hastily removed him froM this world. On 'Sunday he appeared
mare, hearty than usual; and Said to an old acquaintance who
tame to dine with hind„" 1 am glad you are come; for I aup-
pose I shall not see you, so often after to-day, as I remove-to
Dr..-- on Tuesday (*Wednesday.," He sat 'down to din-'
ner,apparently in the best health' and spirits, and ate heartily,
till he•suddenly fell back initis chair: a rattling was heard in
his throat; he attempted .to grasp. a jug of water; water was
instantly given, him ; his neckcloth loosened, dt.c:, but the jaw.
fell, and he was no more. • The nearest surgeon was instantly
sent for under an ideafthat.he had choked himself, but it proved
not to be the case : it is supposed to have been an apoplectic fit.
Ile had been a remarkably abstemious man, and never had ahy
illness but the gout during his life. An express` was instantly
sent off to his son, who resides in Hercules-buildings, but ere
be arrived the vital Spark had fled. •

Rumour says that Viscount ANTsox has pur-
chased the whole of the valuable household and landed pro-
perty of the Marquis of Stafford, at Lichfield, including of
his Lordship to return two Members for that City.—(Pottery
course the moiety of the Borough interest, which will enable
Gazette.)
• Mr. CHANTRET is now here, for the double
purpose of seeing the statue, which he has executed, of the
late . Lord Chief Baron, erected in the County Hall, and of
selecting a situation for the equestrian statue of his Majesty.
The statue of the Chief Baron is a beautiful chaste production,
and preserves an admirable likeness of the esteemed original.
The site chosen for the King's statue is in George-street,
at the head of Hanover-street, and we think it is one of the
best that can he selected, not only in respect to the consequence
it will give to the most noble street in the kingdom, but from
the admirable position as to exhibition and thoroughfare.—
We understand the monument of Mr. Pitt is to be placed at
the head of Frederick-street, anti probably that to Burns at
the head of Castle-street; and we know that the extremity
of George-street, towards Charlotte-square, has already been
selected for the monument to the late Earl of Ilopetoun. We
very much applaud the idea of bringing all these noble
works together ; they become of themselves of more consequence
and at the same tiime give consequence to the street. Mr. Chan-
trey, we understand, has embraced the opportunity of his
being in Edinburgh to discharge an obligation of some
years standing, in executing a bust of Mr. Baron Hume, and
has availed himself of the accommodation afforded him by Mr.
joseph, to.model the head in the studio of that gentleman.--

Determine place of connection.—Extract truth
from the dross pf words, scattered in a multi-.
tude of books ; as gold is selected and refined
from its ore, scattered abroad in the mines.=
Truth is smothered by many, .but made conspi-
cuous by few and expressive words.—Eloquence
(by metaphor, similitude and allusion) strikes
like a likeness in a glass.—False metaphor and

rluto sionis similar
hiving
of language should be striking, while
they con-
vey a strong likeness of the thing or things re-

Do no injustice.—Treat an open enemy with ge-
