Directors 01 the East India Company have announced their intention
to grant an allowance of 1001. per annum to Master Charles Nott ,

AN INCIDENT AT MoonKEE.—We have been fa-
voured by an excellent authority with the following account of the
death of Father Francis, a Catholic priest, at the battle of Moodkee.
The event is the same alluded to by our Contemporary the English-
man, in its number of the Bth instant :—" We have received the sad
intelligence of the death of the Rev. Father Francis of St. Etienne,
which most melancholy event took place on the 18th of December
last at Moodkee, during the first engagement of the British with the
Seikh army. He was seen, just before the action commenced, en-
deavouring to animate the soldiers, and exhorting them to place their
confidence in the Lord God of Hosts. When the tremendous artillery

Government refused him every comfort, and that in consequence he
was obliged to hire two camels for his service at his own expense.
The same happened to him when he accompanied the army from
Caubul, and when he attended the battle of Maharajpere. The Irish
Catholics and many Protestant friends will lament the loss of such a
zealous missionary, and will always recollect his wonderful exertions
during the cholera in the hospitals of Kurnaul, Agra, and Meenit.
We hear that Bishop Borghi has directed two of his clergymen to
join the :army of the Sutlej as soon as possible."—Agra Elba?:

ACCIDENT AT BIRMINGNAM.—On Sunday morning
considerable excitement was created in Broad-street, by the giving
way of the floor of the Scotch Church during the time of Divine
service. It appears that the congregation, consisting of between
200 and 300 persons, assembled about eleven o'clock, and imme-
diately after service was commenced by the Rev. Peter Sibree, Die
dependent minister. The Rev. Gentleman had just finished the first
hymn, and was rising in prayer previous to reading the Scriptures,
when a loud crash was heard at the upper part of the chapel, arsi
was immediately followed by loud screams, which threw the entire,
congregation into, a state of perturbation. The utmost alarm ensucif

4* Lady nester Stanhope possersed a rap!d and deep insight into
barna character, and her remarks upon the distinguished persons
with whom she was acquainted, as well as of the many travellers
who visited her at Joon, are always pointed and searching, if not
always jest. All tho passages relating to her uncle, Mr. Pitt, are of
striking interest, and her strictures upon the character and conduct
of the politicians and intriguants of the day are irresistibly amusing
and forcible."—Morning Chroulcle.
