THE 'ruk:ATRE.—We witnessed on Saturday
and we had 00 reason to
the second representation of the DioW COrn.dy of
made on its first appearance. The curtailments

have been very few, but they have been useful.
If this Comedy had i
- •08s intrinsic merit, the ad-
mirable acting in general, the music, and the
singing, would most probably have insured it a
safe reception. The house was crowded on this
occasion, and the numerous assemblage which the
Piece attracted, augurs A decidedly successful
career.

were apparently fired at
an up-stair window of
his residence. The ti

window, and grazed th

to be standing at the door. No report was
heard, and it is therefore supposed they were
fired from an air gun. The

are irregular
pieces of lead. Suspicion is said to have attached
itself to an individual not yet in custody.

Tyrnus FLVER.—WP regret to state, that this
scourge of the indigent Irish has commenced its
ravages amongst the wretched inhabitants of a
quarter of our town, which has generally suffered
most from disease and po►erty. It is earnestly
to be hoped that the poor people residing near the
scene of contagion will keep their hovels clean
and white washed, and not suffer any accumula-
tion of filth or ordure near the doors of their
cabins. The funds of the sick poor Society are
are at a low ebb, and the wealthy part of the
inhabitants would do well to replenish them in
time—by so doing they may, perhaps, keep dis-
ease and death from their own habitations.—
(Carlow Morning Post, March 11.)

THE STONE.—It appears that the French sur-
geons have obtained a triumph most honourable
to themselves, and most precious to humanity.—
Dr. CivIALE has succeeded in curing the disor-
der of the stone without the operation of cutting.
His method consists in the introduction of an in-
strument, which seizes the stone, then crushes it,
and reduces it to powder. This ingenious pro-
cess is far less afflicting, and does not compromise
the existence or even the health of patients.—

A Letter, dated Warsaw the 11th ult. says,
the former Palace of the Bishop of CRACOW, one
of the most magnificenp public buildings in that
city, had just been disposed of by lottery. For-
tune, who delights in displaying her freaks, has
given the prize to five humble individuals of the
Hebrew race,
