AaGyLL-Rooms.--Mr. S.pio had his annual
Concert last night at this place, which may properly be styled
the TEMPLE of llinaroxY, as Music seems to be heard there
to peculiar advantage. The Concert *as very well attended.
The Selections were judicious, and all was well performed.—
We have no room for detail : Madame Roxzr and Signor bE
BEGNIS gave one of those amusing Italian duets which have so
often been admired, and it was encored. The other encore was
"Oh ! Albion," a duet composed by BnAHASI, and wall sung
by him and SAPIti. GARCIA, SAPIO, BELLAMY, HAWES,
Miss GOODALL, Miss VEXES, Miss PATON, and CAM.
PORESE, were the vocal performers. Sir GEORGE SMART
apologised for the absende of Mri. SALMOR, stating that she
was to sing at another Concert, and that no blame was imput.
able to her. When she arrived, however, a Very few illiberal
hisses were heard, which naturally excited surprise and dis-
pleasure in the audience.. She sung with her usual excellence,
and the applause that followed properly atoned for the unmerited
disapprobation which assailed her on her entrance. Boots*,
Ntc o mom, and M oat, severally displayed their instrumental
skill on the occasion.

a performer that the house was crowded.—

MELANCHOLY CONSEQIIEX CES GAIthLING.- On
Thursday last an Inquest was held at the Greyhound Inn,
Newmarket, before Jolts AV...YUAN, Esq., Coroner for the
Liberty of Bury St. Edmund's, on the hotly of Slr. Herbert
Cot, a respectable draper, recently established in business
in that town, and who was found hanging in Ms bed-room on
Tuesday morning. It appeared in evidence that the deceased
had been living in Newmarket since August last, and carried on
the trade of a draper ; he was about 33 years of age, and un-
married, and lately he had addicted himself to gambling. On
Monday night lie was at Mr. Chapman's in Newmarket, in a
room called the hatird-room with many other persona. He ap-
peared not to know, what he was about. He joined in play
and in betting, and appeared not to know when he was a
winner or when a loser. Upon the whole, there was a singu-
larity in his manner which witnesses could not avoid re-
marling. Ile said lie had brought a little money with him,
and he would win some more to it or lose that, and lie
pulled out eight pounds, which he said was all he had. He
played for some time, and after witinhig, he lest the whole of what
he had with him, and he borrowed four ten pounds, which he
also lost. After this he sat more than an hour observing the
other persons
.play ; he appeared very low, and went away about
three o'clock in the morning. For the Last three weeks the de-
ceased appeared very low spirited, and one witness had remarked
it to him. Ile replied, he wanted to borrow money to go on
with his business ; that be should have to make up a sum of
money in a short time, was not prepared to meet it, and he did
not know what lie should do. The Jury, after a short con-
sultation, returned a verdict of—lnsanity.—( Bury and Nor-

SHUTE9 AND WESTON.—SIIUTER had long been
the favourite of the galleries; and WesToN,
fore he was well known, appeared as a suhsti-'
tute Yor Shuter, in the part of Sharp. Shuter's
name was in the play bills; and when Weston
appeared) the galleries vociferated " Shuter !
Shuter!" Mrs. Clive played the part of Kitty
Pry, and was no a less favourite than the other.
The uproar continued, and nothing could be heard
but " Shuter ! Shuter I " As soon as he could
make himself audible, Weston, in his own ini-
mitable and humourous manner, asked aloud, in
a seriously stupid amazement, and pointing to Mrs.
Clive, " Shoot her ! shoot her !—why should I
shoot her ? I am sure she plays her part very welt !"
The apparent earnestness and simplicity with
which he asked this question were so inimitable,
and so truly applied to the excellent acting of
Mrs. Clive, that the burst of laughter was uni-
versal, and the applause that Weston deserved
attended him through the part.
