'TOCKHOLM. SEPTEMBER rd".

sr
I informed you many months ago what t
Conceived to be the objets which Colonel ADLEtt•
SPARRB had in view : the deposition of GUSTAVUS
'IV. and the nomination of the Prince of AUGUSTAN-
BURG as hiS successor to the crown of wedeli. In
both these ohjeEls, Colonel ADLERSPARRE has suet
ceeded. The King has informed the Diet, 014
Prince AIiGUSTENBURG accepts with senttineilis of
gratitude the highest dignity which the nation could
confer, but declines interfering in State atfoir4, ontil
the restoration of pence ; an event which, it is to be
hoped, will speedily happen. A negoliatiOn for the
accomplishment of that deilrable object is opened at
Fredericksharn.

" The Negociators on the part of Sweden are
13.31-011STEDENGIc and Col. SCHOLDEBRAND ; and oti
the part of Russia, the Emperor's Minister for Foreign.
Affairs, assisted by one of the Secretaries. Considerable
progress has been made in thenegociation,anddam as•
sured from unquestionable aut hurity, that the only at--
ticlesw hich produce a difference olopipiun are, the pro-
positiou for shutting the ports of Sweden against ships
freighted with articles of British manufacture, and
British colonial produce; the possession of Aland
and the boundaries of Russian Finland, viz, whether
the river Remi or Calix shall- be the line,of demark
ation ; but as both parties seem to he actuated by the
true spirit of conciliation, uo doubt is entertained At
to the result..

" The King hiving made a proposition for the
maintenance of GusTArus, the Secret Committee
of the Diet have recommended an inventory to be.
taken ofall his effects; but as this would take too much
time, it was resolved that GOsrAvus is himself tct
state what property he has, and the Diet will decide
accordingly. He has abandoned the idea of resid-,
ing in Wisingo, and as he is not permitted to. prciceed
to Christianfeldt, it is thopght he- will. take up his
abode in Switzerland."

On Wednesday evening last Chester and itS tieigha
bourhood was visited with_ a tremendous storm of
thunder and lightning, accompanied %s ith
At or near PecktiAton,_ where it appears to have
been most violent, a. ball of fire descended the
chimney of Robert Arden, while himself and fa-
mily were sitting in the house : the electric flu;cl
providentially took such a direction, as to leave every
individual unhurt. Two cows, belonging to Mr.
Shaw, of Tarpofley-ball, were struck dead by the
lightning white grazing in the fiend; as were also
seven sheep on Buckley Comnion ; and a large pop.
lar tree standing between Tarporley and Peckforton
was struck, and -split into innutnerable pieces.
BOXING MATCH.---A pitched battle for 200 gui-
neas was fiiught on Monday in Braybrook Park,Wiltg,
the seat of Major Cope, betwixt Flowers, the fight-
ing coachman, of considerable provincial tame, and.
Isaac Jarvis, a professor, from the pits of Lanidowne;
the former of whoin.was backed by rtie Major, and
the latter by P. ,Harris, Esq. and another amateur.--
At setting to, the betting was in favour of Jarvii, at
6 to 4.' The contest was the most obstinate that had
ever been witnessed in that part of the country,
and resembles that between Gully and Gregsun, at,
Newmarket, more than any other the amateurs in
that 'part recollect, in respeEt to what they call
slaughter; and the science and bottoM, they say,were
equal to the performance'of young welcher, or the
gluttony of Crib. The',combataitts stood to each
other manfully, and stopped until one was off his legs,
very unliketbe modern town boxers. Half a minute
frequently elapsed before a blow could be put in, the
stops were so dexterously managed 3 but after fighting
three quarters of an hour, both the men lost their
powers of hitting at intervals, and at this stage of the
battle;stopping was dispensed with. The blows put
in in the former part of the battle were terrific,which
the champions bore marks of. Flowers lost the battle
by a tall, after fighting an hourand ten minutes. The
winner is nearly equal to the champions of the me.
tropolis, Gully and Crib.

FIRE-EATER.—Fhe ingenious and learned anti.
quary Mr. STRUTT, in his account of the sports
and pastimes of England, page 181, mentions
the extraordinary performances of the Fire-eater
Powell, well known in the kingdom about fifty
years ago. In the year 1753, he visited Ches-
ter, and exhibited his surprising performances for
several evenings, in a large room called Eaton's-room,
in Watergate.street, which was some years afterwards
the scene of a dreadful calamity. Mr. Powell then
eat burning coals from the fire ; he put a large bunch
of matches lighted in his mouth, and blew the smoke
of the sulphur through. his nostrils ; he carried a
red-hot heater round the room in his teeth, and
lighting a piece of charcoal, he placed it in his
mouth, into which a•small gridiron was introduced,
and a bit of beef-steak put into it, whilst one of
the speaators with .3 pair of bellows, blew up the
charcoal to prevent the heat decreasing till the
meat was sufficiently broiled. By way of conclu-
sion, he made a composition of pitch, brimstone,
sealing-wax, and lead ; the whole was melted in
an iron ladle over the fire, with a spoon of the
same metal he eat it up, and called it his s;ilip, in
its state of liquidation blazing furiously, without
appe.iring to sustain the least injury. , His (Tharp at
the top of his hand bills was—Sum So/us.—Th3
provincial paper from w !lie!) this paragraph is co-
pied, concludes it thus :—The communicator of this
anecdote saw his performance when a boy, and
actually eat a part of the beef steak that was thus
broiled in his mouth ! ! !

A few days ago, the wife of a respeetable trades-
tinn near Marsh-gate, on the Surrey side of West-
minster-bridge, eloped with a dashing coachwaker
of the neighbourhood of ,St. George's-fields. The
panics have been discovered by the hu.band, who
has commenced an aCtioa against the seducer, who
is a married man ; the lady is mother to five children
