curred.

The Bow-street Office is to be removed to that
part of the new street which is to terminate opposite St. Mar-
tin's Church.

BiGGLEswAnu, Mancx 7.—f beg to inform
you, with extreme regret, that the ancient family
seat of Sir JOHN MONTAGU BURGOYNE, Bart., at
Sutton Park, three miles from this, was entirely
burnt to the ground on Wednesday night last, 2d
inst. It is particularly unfortunate, as the house
had undergone it thorough repair during last
summer, and had a large sum of money expended
upon it. It is a great loss to the neighbourhood.
VAIL3.—The practice of giving vails to ser-
vants was grown to such excess about fifty years ago, that
that eminent character Johns HANWAY wrote a tract, ex-
pressly on the subject, entitled " Eight Letters to the Duke
of --, on the Custom of Vails-giving in England."._
Mr. Hanway being once politely reproached by a friend in a
high station for not coming oftener to dine with him, " In-
deed, my Lord (replies he), I cannot offord it." It was
Sir Thomas Waldo that first put Mr. Hanway on writ-
itllviasthe

buting to the support and insolence of a train of servants who
lined the hall; and at last put a crown into the hand of the
cook, who returned it, saying, " Sir, I do not take silver."
" Don't you, indeed !" said the worthy Baronet, putting it in
his pocket, " then I do not give gold."
MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.—The neighbourhood
of the Westminster-road has been involved in the greatest agi-
tation since yesterday morning, in consequence of an elderly
Gentleman, said to hold a Commission in the Army, lavi
violent hands upon himself, at his house, Hercules-buildings.
He had lately shown considerable attentions to a respectable
young lady, and frequently would return home in a most
dejected state of mind. Prior to the perpetration of the
horrid deed, he ordered the servant to prepare breakfast, and on
leaving the room she heard the report of a pistol. An alarm
was made, and on entering the room the unfortunate gentleman
was found with his head shattered in a most dreadful manner,
and his brains scattered about the room. Information of the
circumstance was forwarded to the Coroner for the Inquest to
be held on the body.

INQUEST.—:On 'Wednesday an inquest was
held at the Crown and Sceptre public-house, at Brixton,
before S. ROGERS, Esq., one of the Magistrates of the
county, who undertook the office of Coroner, in conse-
quence of the decease of Mr. Jemmett, on the body of a
man named Cornelius Seeker, who lost his life under the fol-
lowing circumstances :—On Monday last, about 5 o'clock in the
morning, as an inhabitant of Croydon was on his way to town,
he observed a man lying in a ditch, half way between the former
place and Streatham, whom he at first thought was asleep ;
however, on approaching the spot, he discovered part of the
deceased's head to be buried in the mud; and upon dragging him
up on the bank, he appeared to be quite dead. Surgical assist-
ance was procured, but it was of no avail. The deceased, it was
stated, had been observed the previous night, in a state of in-
toxication, near Kennington-turnpike, and having fallen into
the ditch, on his road home, was suffocated. On the unfortu-
nate man's person were found upwards of 40 counterfeit shil-
lings and sixpences, all of which were
.wrapped up in tissue pa-
per, and sewed within the lining of his jacket. One of the Jury_
men mentioned that the deceased had been apprehended some
time ago on a charge of passing bad money, but was discharged
in consequence of the absence of a material witness. A verdict
of " Accidental Death" was returned.

A very serious accident nearly took place at
the Sunderland Theatre, on Saturday night last,
between the play and farce. A deuce smoke
pervaded the whole house, and the people from
the gallery called out, " Put the fire out,—put
the fire out !" A wood partition in the staircase
leading to the gallery, was at last discovered to
be in flames; but fortunately for the gallery
audience, the door-keepers succeeded in extin-
guishing the fire.
