Mr. Richardson, who died lately, commenced bu-
siness at Bow fair. The first piece he played was Blue
Beard, aided by a few Jews, who sang the songs. This
piece was very popular, and was brought out at Drury-lane
the winter previous to Mr. Richardson's playing the same at
Bow fair the June fbllowing.

THE GREAT METROPOLIS.—This work, which is
now ready for delivery, gives a thorough insight into those
metropolitan operations which have before been to the pub-
lic as a sealed book. In respect to the theatres, be literally
lifts up the curtain, and penetrates the sunctum of the clubs,
the gaming-houses, and the press. When the book has
been once perused the reader will be astonished to find how
superficial was his previous view of London society.
On the evening of the 12th instant, at Toulouse, a
young man presented himself at the shooting-gallery, and,
after firing seven or eight shots at the target, aimed his pis-
tol at his own head, and instantly fell to the ground. He
was immediately conveyed to his hotel, and it was at first
thought that his wound was not mortal, but this hope
proved vain, as he has since expired. The deceased was
25 years of age, and a lieutenant of artillery. His rash
act is attributed to his having received an order for his
exchange to another regiment, quartered at Strasburg.—

We observe that Mr. Colburn's first new novel Al
the season, to appear in a few days, is to be " Henrietta
Temple," by the distinguished author of " Vivian Grey,"
and we do not think he could have announced one from any
writer of the present time, numerous and eminent as they
are, that could excite a greater degree of interest among the
lovers of this captivating species of literature. The recol-

Hanbury Tracy, Esq., dined with a very large and highly re-
spectable company of his constituents and friends at the
Town-hall, Tewksbury. Tables were laid for about 140,
but so great was the anxiety to be present on this interesting
occasion, that when dinner was announced, at five o'clock,
considerably more than the number crowded the seats, and
a great many, who could not possibly fined room, dined else-
where. Sir John Wright Guise, Bart., officiated as Chair-
man, and sustained the duties of his office with much spirit.
After the cloth was removed the parties who had dined in
other places joined the company in the room. Among the
company present on this occasion were Lord Segrave ; the
Hon. Craven Berkeley, M.P. ; the Hon. Augustus More-
ton, M.P. ; the Hon. Henry Moreton ; the Hon. Tracy
Leigh ; Edward Prothero, Esq., late M.P. for Bristol;
John Martin, Esq., late M.P. for the borough ; Robert
Canning, Esq. ; C. H. Ackerley, Esq. ; the late and pre-
sent3', and about twenty visiting Re-
formers from Gloucester.— G loucester Journal.

The feeling about church-rates is beginning to mani-
fest itself in this county, and we hear of proposals to call
meetings for the purpose of petitioning the House of Com-

Yesterday afternoon about three o'clock a fire broke
out in the hair-manufactory of Mr. Foy, situate at the
rear of his dwelling in Great Peter-street, Westminster.
The fire was caused by some defect in the stove used for
drying the hair, and extending itself over two wooden erec-
tions, originally designed as a cart-lodge and stable, but
now used for the purposes of the business. Considerable
damage was done to the buildings and the stock therein
before the firemen and neighbours could succeed in putting
out the flames.
