didate ; and it is also mentioned that GEORGE
PRY ME, Esq. will again come forward. The

Mr. MACREADY, we are sorry to hear, still
continues very dangerously ill. He was seized
suddenly and violently with pains and weak-
ness during the last scene of the Fatal Dowry on
Friday night ; was somewhat better on Sunday,
but became worse again on Monday. His com-
plaint is a rheumatic fever, caused, it is supposed,
by his having taken cold behind the scenes. He
had a similar and very violent attack two years
since, at Naples, from having, in the heat•of the
day, gone into the cold air of the Groto of Pau-
silippo, near that city. At a late hour on Wed-
nesday night he suffered less pain, but was in a
state of high fever.

WEYMOUTH, JAN. 6.—We are happy to law

that public attention is still directed to the
dreadful devastation and misery caused in

the Island of Portland by the late hur-
ricane. Captain BOXEII,, R.N., Inspecting Com-
mander of the Coast Guard, and the Officers and
crews of all the Revenue cruisers and Pre-
ventive boats on this station, have voted
one day's pay each to the relief of the
sufferers. Serious doubts having been en-
tertained that the Sand Bank, which, for
a long series of years enabled loaded
waggons, carriages, &c. to pass over to Portland
at low water water during spring tides, had been
washed away by the late tempest, a survey has
been made under the direction of Mr. IlopKtms,,
of Radipole, who has found it to be more firm
than before, but removed to a greater distance
from the shore. lie has sent a load of flour across
the bank as usual. The discovery is highly gra-
tifying to the inhabitants.
A question of great importance to the county
generally, and especially to tlie inhabitants of
Dorchester, was decided in Blandford on Tues-
day last. At a very full attendance of the Ma-
gistrates it was resolved, bye majority of 5.)4 to
18, that the General Quarter Sessions for the
county shall in future he held at Dorchester.—

EXTENSIVE ROBBEity.--
Yesterday informa-
tion was received at Queen-square Office of a most extensive
robbery having been committed in the house of Mr. John
Kind, residing in Church-street, Liverpool, which was broken
into between Saturday night and Sunday morning last, and

fourteen silver watches, four patent levers ; a great number of
g

one dozen dessert, and eighteen dozen of tea-spoons, besides
numerous other articles of jewellery and plate to a considerable

CoßoNEtts' INQUESTS.—An Inquest was held
yesterday at the sign of the Lord Nelson public-house, in the
Kent-road, before C. JEIVIMETT, Esq., on the body of ItiF.
Wm. Campion, who held the situation of Collector to the Asiatic
Institution. From the evidence it appeared, that the deceased
resided in the Kent-road, and that on Monday last he went into
town early, in his usual state of good health. He returned home
about eight o'clock in the evening, complained of being slightly
indisposed, and proceeded to bed without partaking of any
supper. In the course of the night, Mrs. Campion was
awoke by the difficult respiration of her husband, whom sYe
spoke to, and endeavoured to arouse, but all to no purpose.—
A light was procured, and she was shooked on beholding her
husband a corpse. A surgeon who examined the body of the
deceased was of opinion that he died of apoplexy. A ver-
dict to that effect was returned.—A second inquest was held at
the same house, on the body of Wm. Gun, who dropped down
suddenly and expired. John Hamlin, a carpenter, deposed,
that on Friday evening last, as he and the deceased were return-
ing home from work, the latter exclaimed, " Stop, mate !" and
instantly fell to the ground. Witness assisted him up, but he
was unable to stand ; and he was carried from thence to the
Lord Nelson public-house, where it was discovered that he was
quite dead- A surgeon stated, that the deceased died of a rup-
ture on the lungs.—Verdict to that effect.
