ESTM I NAT Elt S CllOO --- (Accident to Sir
Roger Koaston, Bart.)----This morning an in-
quiry took place before Dr. GooncmouGu, at
his house in Dean's yard, into the cause of the
lamentable accident that happened to the above
young Gentleman, whilst he and his fellow coils,-
gians were commemorating the downfall of" Guy
Fawkes," by a display of fireworks in the Green in
Dean's Yard, Westminster, on Wednesday even-
ing last. The injured youth being so seriously
hurt, and it being feared that death would ensue,
it was thought expedient to cause the inquiry, in
order to ascertain whether the catastrophe WAS
caused' by accident, or whether it was done wil-
fully. Several of the collegians and the persons
under the Dean were examined, and from their
statements it appears that the unfortunate youth
had a vast quantity of fire-works about his person
at the time they were flying about in all direc-
tioni, and when the explosion of those in his
pocket took place, there were no persons near
him, so that it could only be accounted for by a
spark communicating to them, which caused the
accident.--Dr. GO CiDENOUGH expressed • himself
satisfied that no person was blameable, and the
enquiry terminated.--The 'suffering youth now
Lies in a very dangerous state, and is attended by
several eminent Gentlemen of the Faculty.

CAPTAIN PARRY'S Do.s.---Therc is now lying
dead, in the waggon wftrehonse in Park•street,in
this town, belonging to Mr. BRYAN, one of the
dogs which Captain PARRY brought over with
him from Liallin's Bay. The animal bears no re-
semblance to any English breed of dogs ; it is
larger than the common sheep-dog, remarkably
powerful in its limbs, and of considerable growth
round the body. The colour and hair exactly
resemble the limber, the head' is like that of the
wolf, with short round ears, n►ul the tail is very
short ; and the, length, from the tip of the nose to
the extremity of the tail, is about five feet. It
was sent as a present to the Marquis of ANor.E.
srA, but died on the road.-- (Birmingham
Chronicle.)

THE THEATRES.

DauttY-LANE..--The repetition of The Win.
ler's Tale drew a very numerous audience last
night. In the earlier parts of Leonles, Mr. MAC"
READY spoke in so low a tone, and in so hurried
a manner, that we could not distinguish what he
said, though we were near the stage. There
were indeed some flashesof jealousy expressed with
great force. His chief merit in the acting, how.
ever, was after his conviction of the innocence of
his injured wife, and in the agonies of repentance
and remorse. Mr. ARCHER possesses a clear and
strong voice. lie plays with good sense, and his
deportment is unaffected. Ilis Potixenes is a very
respectable performance. MUNDEN, HARLEY, and
GATTIE, in the low Comedy parts were hu-
mourous' and natural. 'We cannot bestow too
much praise on Mrs. BUNN ; she is, decidedly,
the best 11er:twine that has been seen since the
days of Mrs. SIDDONS. Her performance was, in
our opinion, critically just, as well as tender and
expressive. Her deportment in the Statue-scene
displayed a dignified serenity, and her descent
and subsequent emotions were irresistibly touch-
ing. SIIAKSPEA RE, who was more deeply conversant
with life and nature than with the fine arts,
ascribes the statue to JULTO ROMANO, who did
not live till many ages after the supposed period
of the fable in Sicily. If, however, itieto Ho.
MANO had been a sculptor as well as a painter.
he could hardly have had a finer model than
Mrs. I3uritr, or have placed her in a more im-
pressive attitude,
COVENT-GARDEN.—We have only to say that
the new musical Drama of Cortez was so well
attended last night, as to promise to indemnify
the managers for the vast expellee which it must
have Occasioned. COOPER, MISS PaTorii, Miss
LOVE, and Faweerr, severally exerted 'their
talents with great success. The horses tramped
into the favour of the audience, whose terrors
were relieved by the subsequent performance of
The Miller's Maid.

Mr. YaTcs, of Covent-Garden Theatre, ac-
cording to report, is to lead Miss rroN to
the Hymeneal Shrine. if report speaks true on
this occasion he will obtain a very amiable and
accomplished woman, as well as a very excellent
comic actress.
The late joint Proprietor of the Bath Theatre
has disposed of his interest in that property, to'
Capt. PAIMEK, R. N. brother of Colonel PAL*
MElt, M. P. for that City.
During the performance.of the New Spectacle
at Covent-garden Theatre the light is reduced in
the house; and when the curtain falls between
the acts it is instantly increased, by which consi,
derable effect is given to the scenery, and also to
the appearance.of the house.
The closing of Covent Garden Theatre for
one night, preparatory to a Grand Theatrical
Spectacle, is not without, a precedent. We re.
member a similar, occurrence at Drury-lane
Theatre, and, if .we mistake not, during the
management of Mr. Eij.ISTON.
THE LORD MAYOWS COACH.--The private carriage of.the
Lord Mayor Elect is one of the most elegant we have seen. It
is of a rich mazarine blue, the panels bordered by handsome
silver beading ; the Arms of the City and the Framework-knit-
ters Company, (to which his Lordship belongs), are beautifully
emblazoned on the doors, in drab colour, relieved withsilver,while
hie Lordship's Arms, impaled with those of Mrs. WArrit..
MAN'S Family, appear in a similar style on the front and back
pannels. A superb crimson hatnmercloth, With deep silk fringe
and ornaments, completes one of the chastest carriages the City
has had to boast for a long time.---It was made by StapE. and
Soo, of Islington.
The manage. between the only son and heir of Lieut.-Gen,
Sir Win. Cockburn) Barn and MisaCtike, ( which we annou need
in our last), was celebrated in the old English style, and un-
der circumstances of peculiar interest. All the inhabi,
tants of Eardisley, Bert fbrdshire, (where the ceremony took
place) and the surrounding neighbourhood, spontaneously as.
sembled in their holiday. garb, to express their hearty wishes for
the prosperity and happiness of the bride and bridegroom, who
were attended to church by the whole of their respective families
andifrientls. Flowers were plentifully strewn In the path of the
bridal party, who on their return were saluted by artistic concert,
and drove under the arch of flowers erected by the people during
the time the party were in church. In the evening a ball Was
given at the Inn at Eanlislcy, and upwards of 200 families were
supplied with a good dinner, and a plentiful quantity of eider,
by the munificence of Mr. Coke..;--( Bath Herald.)

COURT OK,CITANCERY (Tins MA)

GOURLAY V. THE DUKE OF SOIRERSET.
On the Lone CUANCELLOa taking his seat ads
day, Mr. GOURLAY rose, and begging to apolo,
gize for the act, said, that yesterday he had in
tended to have handed up certain papers, but hi:
Lordship would not receive them. Same of then:'
papers were of great importance ; but as Lordship intended to have none hut original dos
cuments, he begged to be informed whether them
was any danger of forgery in office copies; for, if
there were, he would, of course, be secure, as al.
Orations might be made between this and Mon-
day, for which day the cause was fixed.
The Loan CUANCELLOR.---The original docus
mews are in the keeping of the Court, and cow,
sequently there can be no danger of any thing of
the kind.
