Mae. HORNE.---( Fru titer Particular:. )--Miss LAURA
ELIZA HORNE, the child on whose account the late proceed.
ings against Mrs. Horne have been carried on, was discovered
by the Police on Saturday morning, the 19th instant, at the
house of a Mr. John Brock, about a mile front town. The
child has been concealed since the Ist of September at the house
of a Mr. De Campourey, a French master, with whom Mrs.
Home is acquainted. She escaped from Mrs. Horne's lodg-
ings at about six o'clock on the morning of the Ist of Septem-
ber, dressed as a boy, and, it appears, went out by the front
door of the house without being perceived by the guards, she
went immediately to Mr. De Campourey's house about half a
mile from her mother's residence, where she remained until the
evening of Friday, the 18th instant, when some dispute hav-
ing take place between the parties at Mr. De Campourey's
residence, she was removed by Mr. Brock to his own house,
concealed under a large cloak. In the mean time the Po-
lice got wind of the affair ; the dispute at Mr. De Cam.
pourey's was so violent as to attract the whole neighbour-
hood round the house, Mrs. Horne having thrown open a win.
dow and vociferated " murder" most lustily. Mr. John
Brock, who was seen at the house, was in consequence suspected
of having the child in his possession, and the next morning
(Saturday) the Police found her at his house. She was imme-
diately, by order of the Court, given up to her father's attorney,
who has since sailed with her for England. She appears to be
by no means averse to returning to her father. The Court on
Monday and Tuesday proceeded to examine all the parties con.
cerned ; and Mr. De Campourey, Mr. John De Jersey, who
was likewise at Mr. De Campourey's house on Friday evening,
and Mr. John Brock, were fully committed for trial, for having
I aided in the concealment of the child contrary to an order of
the Court. They have been held to bail for their appearance.—

LIFE IN LONDON IN THE DA YS OF " TIIE MER-
nY MONA um," CHARLES ll.—Mr. PEPYS, who held the
important post of Secretary to the Admiralty, thus records the
pleasant way in which he, his lady, and his lady's maid, Mrs.
Mercer, passed an evening:—" 14th. After dinner, with my wife
and Mercer, to the Beare-gardeb, where I have notbeen,. I think,
of many years, and saw some good sport of the bulls tossing the
dogs; one into the very. boxes; but it is a very rude and
nasty pleasure. We had a great many Hectors in the same
box with us (and one very fine went into the pit and played his
dog for a wager, which was a strange sport for a gentleman),
where they drank wine, and drank 'Mercer's health first, which
I pledged with my hat off. We supped at home, and very
merry, and then about nine o'clock to Mrs. Mercer's gate,
where the fire and boys expected us, and her son had provided
abundance of serpents and rockets, and there mighty merry
(my Lady Pen and Peggy going thither with us, and Nan
Wright), till about twehe at night, flinging our fireworks, and
burning one another and the people over the way, and at last
our businesses being almost spent, we went into Mrs. Mercer's
and there mighty merry, smutting one another with candle-
grease and soot, till most of us were like devils ; and that being
done, then we broke up, and to my house; and there I made
them drunk, and up stairs we went, and then fell into dancing,
W. Batelier dancing well and dressing, him and I, and one
Bannister, who with my wife came over also with us, like women;
and _Mercer put on a suit of Tom's, like a boy, and mighty mirth
we had ; and Mercer danced a jig, and Nan Wright and my
wife and Peggy Pen put on Perriwigs, and thus we spent till
four in the morning, mighty merry, and then parted and to bed.'

METEOROLOGICAL PIiENOMENON.-A very ex;-
traordinary circumstance took place on the 3d of
this month in the forest of Calonhaven, in the
arrondissement di-Thionville. A carrier, return-
ing from Sierck to FilstrofT, was going through
the forest between six and seven in the evening ;
he, had arrived within three•quarters of a league
of Laumesfield, when, in the midst of a violent
hurricane, mingled with thunder, the forest sod-
. denly appeared all on fire, and preserved that
appearance for the space of a quarter of an
hour. The horses became alarmed, and fell
down ; one of them broke from the harness, and
fled as far as the village; some of the inha-
bitants recognised him, and suspected some acci-
dent had happened to the driver. They imme-
diately went towards the forest; as they drew
near, they, perceived an inflamed cloud travers-
ing the horizon from the north to the south. The
most complete darkness succeeded this appear-
ance. The carrier, when he heard them calling,
answered them ; and when they came up with-
him, they found him so overcome with fright,
that it was only by the greatest care he recover-
ed to give an account of what had happened to
him.—(Journal de Moselle.)

DRE DFUL EFFECTS OF DRUNKENNESBe-011
Monday week a Chelsea Pensioner, named J.
Bradshaw, residing at Addington, near Chorley,
and generally employed in the coal-pits, after
having disordered his mind by excessive drink-
ing, plunged head foremost into a pit 300 feet
deep, and
was taken out a dreadful corpse.—
(Berwick Advertiser.)

Last night the Olympic Theatre had nearly
been destroyed by fire, in consequence of a lamp
having been placed near some wood-work in the
box-lobby, which caught fire, and was fast
ascending, when fortunately it was arrested in
its infancy, and the serious consequences that
might have followed were prevented.
