FRIGHTFUL OCCURENcE.--The following shock-
ing occurrence took place two days back :—Elizabeth Gilbert,
a tine young woman, seventeen years of age, servant it Mr.
White, ivhartinger and coal merchant, Worcester-place,. Upper
Thames-street, was fastenii3g the street-doer about a quartler
before twelve at night, when her master opening the parlour-
door to desire her to loosen the hbuse dog from the counting-
house, perceived a young fellow ascending the Stairs,' wlio was
her lover, and whom he desired to quit the house, himself fas-
tening the door behind him. The servant girl then, went up stairs,
it was supposed to bed, but was shortly after fOund upon' the
pavement by the. watchman, her jaw-bone broken, her right
thigh fractured, and in a state of insensibility. !.A .coach was
procured, and she was taken to Guy's Hospital, where
she lingers at the point of death. It is conjectuitd that, being,
.of a violent temper; she had in a sudden gust of passion pre-
cipitated herself into the street from her chAmber-window in
one of the attic.. .. . „
DENNIS THE CRITIC.—The story' lately intro•
duced in Parliament respecting this celebrated
writer and his theatrical thunder, reminds us -of'
another circumstance relating to hini. After he
was worn out with age and poverty,„ he resided
within the verge of the Court, to prevent danger
from his 'creditors.' One Saturday night he hap-.
pened to saunter to 'a public house, which in a!
short time he 'discovered to he out of -the ierge-•
He was sitting in an• open drinking-'room, and a
man of a suspicious appearance happened to come
in. There was somethinn'about thellin which
:-.
,q
denoted to Mr. DENNIS that he was a adiff. This
.
idea struck him with a panic '-he Ir afraidr. that
his liberty was now at an en lie d; • ,sat in the ut-
most solicitude, but durst not offer to stir lest he
should be seized upon. After an houi• or two
had passed in this painful -anxiety?. at last th.c
n DENNIS,.. in an extacy
clock struck twelve, whe
'exclaimed, addressing himself to the 'suspected per-
son, 46 Now, Sir, Bailiff or no Bailiff, I don't care
a farthing for you/ you have_no power now." The.
1
man was astoni•
it was explained to him, was so much affronted
sospitton that had not DENNIS found pro,.

,P
his age, he would probably have
smarted for his insulting apprehension.
