MR. DAVY, THE ComposErc.--We regret to
learn that the paragraph which we wrote in re-
commendation of a subscription fur the support
of this unfortunate gentleman, and which was
humanely copied by 'most of the London and
many of the Provincial Journals, has not been at.
tended with success. Mr. DAVY is much ad.
vanced in life, is the victim of infirmity, is
passed the exercise of his talents, and is without.
any
provision. We again appeal to the lovers of
music and the friends of Genius to come forward
in his cause, and contribute to smooth the pillow
of age and debility ; and, for that purpose, we
again state that his residence is 21, in May's
Buildings, St. Martin's-lane. Surely the Musical
Profession will be ready and liberal in assisting a
brother in distress.

English officers, upon half-pay, then resident in
Italy, ate said to have accompanied this Noble-
man on his chivalrous expedition.
The following paragraph is from Iv provincial
Irish paper :—Thursday the leg of a newly born
infant was seen in a dog's mouth on the lands of
Forest. A diligent search was immediately made,
but no other part of the body could be found.
Au unmarried woman named Ann norrigan, up-
on seeing the leg of the infant, confessed it was
that of one of her twins, of which she had been
delivered without ally assistance, on Friday, the
29th ult. She also declared that the infants were
still born ; and that she thrust the bodies into a
fox-hale, on the lands of Forest. She was com-
mitted to gaol.—( Wexford Paper.)
