SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 11334

In addition to the TIELEGRAPU DISPATCH from
ealah4 announcing the Death of the KING of
s 4414", We yesterday stated, from authority, in a
econd Edition,that our Government bad received
Notification of the important event. We
base this day given an account of all the pre-
ceding circumstances, and the rest of the Bulk-
"III from the Etoile of the 16th instant, till the
final result of his
MAJIISTY'S decease. It ap-
pears that he was fully sensible to the last that

end Was rapidly approaching, and that ho was
prepared for the awful change with the firm-
ness of a Philosopher, or rather the pious resig-
nation of a
Caristion. Whatever errors there
'atlY have be
een in the political conduct of the
parted Mouarch oughtchiefly to be considered
as
resulting from the situation of a country,

ora Revolution which shook the whole civilized
14r1d, and after such a tremendous catastrophe
it alt to be expected that he would endeavour
reign in peace. He had experienced bitter
larieties of fortune, he was far advanced in age,
and he was loaded with painful and hopeless in-

assent to measures, for the sake of preserving trait-
quillitY, that at an earlier period of life, and unen-
cumbered with disease, he would most probably
"Ise rejected. As a King, he has left a fair cha-
rtertp behind him, and an example of justice,
ealPered with benevolence. We hope that his
1, ecessor will tread in his steps with equal ru-
g nee) moderation, and dignity.

THE THVATRE.

Emnr.isit OPERA HousE.—Au interesting little

piece entitled Brother and Sister, was far the
first time performed at this theatre last night.
Mr. PHILLIPS, who had not been called into
action for some time on account of the attraction
of Der Freischutz, came forward on this occa-
sion, and acted and sung with his usual suc-
cess, in the part of Don Silvio, and his pupil
Miss Ilmtvcy, in that of Floranthe. They were
both very favourably received. The piece was
rendered additionally attractive by the perform-
ance of Isidore by Miss PATON. The combined
musical powers of this trio highly gratified the au-
dience ; Jonathan in England followed, and seems
to have lost none of its laugh•exciting power. After
this piece Mr. BARTLEY came forward to apolo-
gize for the absence of RAYNER, who had gone
to fulfil an engagement at Tork, and whose name
had accidentally been inserted in the bills of the
day. Ile, therefore, bespoke the kindness of the
audience in favour of Mr. TAYLEURE, who had
undertaken the part of Jerry Blossom, at a very
short notice. The audience, a very numerous
one, assented willingly, and Mr. TAYLEURE, an
actor of real merit, acquitted himself to their
satisfaction.

THEATRICAL.—II is said in the theatrical
circles that WEBER'S Opera of Preziosa is shortly
to be produced at Covent Garden Theatre, with
all its German splendour ; and that another of
WunEa's Operas, Abul Hassan, which contains a
most beautiful polacca, with violoncello accom-
paniments, will likewise shortly be produced at
Drury-lane. An author of celebrity has just
completed an Opera for the Covent Garden Ma-
nagement, the story founded on an incident iu
the reign of FREDERICK the Great which has
never been dramatised.

Dispatches were received yesterday at the Fo-
reign Office, Downing-street, from Trinidad, of
the 9th of August, and from the Bahamas of the
the 12th, but they contain no intelligence of im-
portance. All was tranquil at both places at the
respective dates above mentioned.
Mr. PLAN TA has returned to town from Has-
tings, and transacts business daily at the Foreign
Office.

The Prince de POLIGNAC, who arrived lately
at Paris, is not the Ambassador at this Court,
but his brother.

Prince Es•rEnnazv and suite left Chandos
House this morning for Doncaster Races. We
understand that this Meeting, certainly the first
in the country of Turf Sports, will be more bril-
liantly and numerously attended than ou any
former occasion.

Mr. ROTHSCHILD, of Paris, i 3 stated in the
Journal des Dartls to have just purchased the
chateau of Malmaison.

The silk trade in Taunton is remarkably brisk.
There is another new factory to be immediately
built by a Gentleman of London, who has pur-
chased for that purpose an old factory and other
property.
The silk trade of Macclesfield, we are assured,
is In a most prosperous state, and a general ad-
vance_of wages to the work-people employed has
taken place.—( Blackburn Mail.)
A most curious document, elegantly written in
the Arabic character, under the signet and sign
manual of the Dey of ALGIERS, has been brought
to England by the Humotne.
On Tuesday next, being St. Matthew's Day/
according to annual custom, the LORD MATult,
Aldermen, Sheriffs, and Governors of the several
Royal Hospitals, will attend Divine Service at
Christ Church. After a sermon by the Rev. P.
WA 11D, they will repair to the Great Hall, in
Christ's Hospital, where two orations will be de-
livered, in Latin, by T. BitowNE; in English,
by E. WILLis ; the two Senior Scholars of the
Grammar School.
The remains of the late Countess FITZ WIL•
LIAM, Baroness Ponsonby, having been removed
from Wentworth House on Thursday the 9th in-
stant, rested at the George Inn, Stamford, on
Friday night; and next morning the funeral ca-
valcade proceeded to Marholm,nearPeterborough,
where the body was deposited in the family
vault of the noble family to which the Countess
had been for so short a time allied. Her Lady-
ship's marriage with Earl Fitzwilliam took place
in Ireland on the 21st July, 1823. She was born
in October, 1749.

A man on the verge of 60, and whose wife had
been buried about a fortnight before, happened to entertain some
female acquaintances at his house on the First Fair night at
Dundee, when be jocularly asked, which of them would be his
housekeeper ?—a distant name for " wife." A young girl of
19 expressed her entire willingness to undertake the charge ;
and the courtship becoming serious, they have already been
married.
ANOTHER CHILI) STorm4.—On Thursday last
a poor woman, named Margaret Craven, residing
in Milford-place, Tottenham-court-road, who
had .just recovered from her lying-in, accom-
panied by some friends, went to the Pancras
New Church to have the female infant christened.
After the christening the party adjourned to a
public-house in the vicinity, and partook of some
ale, which, from the weak state of the poor
woman, affected her head, and ;he became rather
giddy : she, however, recovered, and was ac-
companied by her friends as far as the end of
How laud-street, Tottenham-court-road, when she
was accosted by a woman, extremely well
,dress-
ed, and of genteel appearance, who observed,
cc My dear woman, the child's shoe will fall off."
The strings tthe then discovered were loose, and
I she asked the lady to tie them. The lady took
the infant into her arms, and at the moment a
friend . of Mrs. Craven's passed, to whom she
turned round to speak, and looking for her infant
to receive it into her arms, the agonized mother
was horror-struck at finding the woman had dis-
appeared with the infant. Her loud cries and
shrieks attracted the attention of the passengers,
who, on
learning the particulars of her story, went
in every direction, bat could obtain no trace of
the unnatural monster or the infant. The poor
woman was carried home in a state of distraction,
and yesterday, although every possible inquiry
had
been made, the child had not been recovered.
The parish officers have had the circumstances
notified throughout the parish, but as yet, the in-
quiries set oa foot by them have proved fruitless,
