THEATRE ROYAL, EDINBURGH.—ACCIDENT TO
MR. GLOVER.—The pantomime nightly attracts crowded
houses. On Monday night, and again last night, every
corner was tilled. We regret to learn that in the course
of the performances on Monday evening an unfortnnate
accident occurred to Mr. Glover. He was performing
with his usual spirit and effect the arduous part of
Richard, in the tragedy of Richard the Third, in the last
scene of which he was accidentally stabbed in the arm-
pit by Mr. Wyndham, who personated Richmond. Mr.
Glover finished the scene without giving any sign of
being hurt. He made a narrow escape, however, from a
very serious injury, and will not be able to perform for a
few nights.—Seotsman.
M. Persiani, the husband of our celebrated can.
tatrice of the Italian Opera, haying every reason to sus-
pect that he had been robbed of three bank notes of
1,0001. each by a person, named Senac, whom he
employed as a copier of music, set his female servant to
watch the man when he came to write. On New Year's-
day, the copyist made his appearance at an early hour
of the morning, and the servant ushered him into the
dining-room, desiring him to wait till her master came
out of his chamber; she placing herself in & situation to
observe his movements unperceived by him. She soon
saw him go from the dining-room into M. Persiani's
cabinet, and then take a key from his pocket, and open
the secretary from which the 3,900 f. had been abstracted.
She immediately gave the alarm, and Sense hastened
back to the dining-room. M. Persiani sent for the Com-
missary of Police, and gave Senac into custody. lie
was examined and searched, but the key seen by the
woman could not be found upon him. Nevertheless, oa
the positive testimony of the servant and the fact of his
having lately lived at a rate of expense which his obvious
means could not afford, but which he attempted to
accpunt for by stating that he had won money at play,
though he could not say at what game and in what
society, the magistrate remanded him for further ex-
amination. In the mean time the servant found the key
accidentally among the ashes of the dining-room stove,
and which, though roughly made by the prisoner him-
self, could open the money-drawer. It was sent to the
magistrate as corroborative evidence of the servant's
testimony, and was considered sufficient to warrant
Senses committal for Galignani.
[ADVERTISEMENT.] Two Bad Legs Cured by
Holloway's Ointment and Pills, after more than Seven
Years' suffering.—Mrs. Elizabeth Humphreys, of York-
street, Hull, had been zno,t painfully
.afflicted for up-
wards of seven years with ulcerated sores in both legs :

almost every remedy, and received the advice of several
of the first surgeons in Yorkshire, yet all failed to effect
a cure until she used Holloway's invaluable ointment
and pills, the astonishing. powers of which soundly
healed every wound. She is now in the enjoyment of

Die verb "to build" has been much degraded
amongst us, and has lost its full signification. " Our
English word, to build" says Horne Tooke, " is the
Anglo-Saxon Byldan, to confirm, to establish, to make
firm and sure and fast, to consolidate, to strengthen ;
and is applicable to all other things, as well as to dwel-
ling places." In Germany the word retains its full
meaning.— The Builder.
