DEATII OF BOILDEU.—We regret to learn from the
Paris Journals of Friday that the above eminent composer ex-
pired at his scat at Sarcy, on Wednesday last. The deceased
had lately returned from a watering-place on the frontiers, and
it was hoped by his numerous friends that his recovery would
have taken place ; hopes, which, unfortunately for them and the
musical world, have not been realized.

The Echo du Cantal relates that a meeting with
pistols took place on Monday, at Clermont, between one of
the principal Editors of the Gazette d'Auvergne and a man of
letters of that town, who had been to pay his respects to
Madame Adelaide at her seat at Randan, and whom that
Journal greatly insulted. Neither of the combatants was
wounded,

The Journal de Geneve states that in the Canton
of Uri the glaciers have been so much perforated and melted
by the hot weather of the summer, that their shapes have been
completely changed, and considerable apprehension is enter-
tained of accidents when the rainy season arrives. One of the
peaks, the Huffirm, has presented a strange and wonderful
spectacle, that of the body of a young hunter, who perished in
that place 13 years ago. By the side of the skeleton were
found his watch (of silver), his knife, and the iron of his gun•

On Saturday morning Lord Auckland, the Right
Hon. Henry Ellis, clerk of the Pells, and other public func-
tionaries, attended at the Exchequer, and, after verifying the
amount of public moneys in the public chests, paid the same
over to the Bank of England, and thus concluded their efficient
functions. Sir John Newport was also present on this occa-
sion, and took his seat as Comptroller of the New Exchequer.

A very near relation of Coleridge the poet is, we
understand, engaged in collecting materials for his Life.
During the latter period of his existence, Coleridge had an in-
veterate dislike to epistolatory correspondence. But there are,
it is said, many hundreds of his letters on literary subjects,
written to his friends in his youthful days, quite as extraordinary,
as powerful, and as eloquent, as his conversation.

A SHIP BURNED AT SEA.—Captain Richardson,
of the Belsey Castle, which arrived in Sligo on Friday last,
from Quebec, on his passage across the Atlantic, near this
coast, descried a ship at some distance, which appeared to him
to be in distress. On approaching this vessel, he found she
was burned down to the water's edge, and completely water-
tied. The weather being moderate he lowered his boat, and
sent some men on board, when they found the vessel was
loaded with timber ; but no vestige of anything that could lead
to any discovery could be traced, save a branding-iron, which
contained the words " The Two Brothers," and a napkin,
supposed to belong to the Captain, marked " Giffard." At
the time he parted with her she was drifting fast towards the
west coast of Ireland.—Mayo Constitution.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—AII accident of a lamentable
nature occurred on Sunday last, in the yard of Messrs.
Menzies and Son, ship-builders, Leith. Mr. Maclean, hair-
dresser, from Edinburgh, had gone up the gangway of a
steam-ship, now building there, for the purpose of viewing it,
and having leaned back, resting on his umbrella, to get a look
at the upper part of the vessel, the umbrella slipped down be-
tween two boards and caused him to lose his balance. The
consequence was, that he fell from the gangway, and was
killed.—Edinburgh Chronicle

was accustomed to shoot at her country seat, in the environs of
Paris. A few mornings ago, she took her gun and went out
into the park, to take, as it was supposed, the pleasure of
sporting, but after loading the piece, she fired the contents
into her own body, and instantly expired. The cause of this
desperate act is said to be vexation at having no children, her
husband having frequently expressed his mortification at her
barrenness.—French Paper.

ELOPEMENT.—Last week a young lady eloped from
Dorset House Tunbridge Wells, in company with the groom, a
mutual attachment having existed for some time between the
parties. The sisters of the young lady went from home in the
morning on a visit to some friends living in the neighbourhood,
during which interval a chaise and pair was ordered from Mr.
Churchill's, of the Kentish Hotel, to wait in Church-road, in-
to which the youg lady was assisted, accompanied by her lover,
and instantly drove off towards town. Some hours elapsed be-
fore the fugitives were missing. They were traced as far as
Sevenoaks, but beyond that all clue was lost.—Greenwich
Gazette.

STEAM TO INDIA.—A projected expedition is now
in preparation at Liverpool for establishing a steam commu-
nication with India by way of the Mediterranean. It is to con-
sist of two flat-bottomed steamers, manufactured of iron,
which, with their engines, will be transported in a vessel to the
coast of Syria, to be there landed, and conveyed by the camels
to the banks of the Euphrates, and then put together. The
expedition will be under the direction of Captain Chesney, of
the Royal Artillery, having under him an officer and twenty
artillerymen, and also a Lieutenant of the Royal Navy, with
two mates (Mr. James Fitzjames, from the Winchester, to be
one), engineers, &c.—Hampshire Telegraph.
PARISIAN IMPROVEMENTS.—It iS said to have
been at length determined that the Obelisk of Luxor shall not
be fixed in the Place de la Concorde, but at the rond point of
the Champs Elysees, as in this situation it will less impede the
double perspective of the Tuileries and the Arch of the Etoile,
and will be more properly situated between masses of verdure
than among the modern buildings of the place it was intended
to occupy. The twelve statues of the Pont de la Concorde,
which at present overwhelm the Chamber of Deputies, will
be placed in the grand avenue of the Champs Elysees, between
the Tulleries and the rond point. The fosses of the Place are
to be filled up and covered with grass plats, on which porticos
will be erected, whose elevation will not impede the prospect
of this vast esplanade. Two statues have just been elevated
to the top of the triumphal Arch in the Place du Carrousel,
to complete the group of the triumphal chariot. They ap-
pear to be checking the speed of the horses, and are said to
be the same statues that formerly accompanied the celebrated
Venetian horses on that monument.
TEA TRADE.—Several members of the tea trade
are contemplating the erection of a respectable and commo-
dious building for the public sales of teas on the site of
ground now laid open at the top and fronting Great Tower-
street. This spot is at once contiguous and yet perfectly dis-
tinct from the West India market, and extremely convenient
for the wholesale trade and Custom-house business: The
building to have a coffee and reading-room attached, and the
capital requisite to be raised in shares of 501. each, three-
fourths of which to be held by tea-merchants, brokers, whole-
sale dealers, and captains trading to China, and the other
fourth by persons engaged in the general East India trade.
The spot contemplated for the building is admirably adapted
for the trade, and the elevation of the edifice from top to
bottom will be seen with great effect from the Tower ; the
Tower also, viewed from this spot through a long street, pre-
sents itself with striking grandeur. Some doubts are enter-
tained whether the city can grant space enough for the pro-
jected building; but there is no doubt the Bridge Committee
will do every thing to facilitate and encourage undertakings
so publicly beneficial to the city. The trade at Liverpool
have already completed a splendid and commodious building
for a similar purpose.

Yesterday, about 1 o'clock, a dray drawn by one
horse and loaded with empty casks, belonging to the firm of
Messrs. Lettsom, Elliott, and Co., Westminster, was coming
from the direction of Charing-cross, when just opposite the
principal entrance to the Treasury the animal took fright, and
notwithstanding the exertions of the driver started off at full
speed from the main road on to the pathway, and ran the dray
and himself right against the balustrade which surmounts the
area in front of the Treasury Chambers ; so great was the
shock, that nearly twelve feet in length of the massive and
and ponderous stone-work, and one or two of the lower win-
dows, were broken and destroyed, and the horse himself pre-
cipitated, into the area, a depth of several feet, hanging, as it
were, by the harness of the dray. Immediate steps were of
course taken to rescue the animal, and after he was disentangled
from the harness, he got upright upon his legs in the middle
of the narrow area ; some large planks were then quickly pro-
cured, and formed into an inclined plane, and by this means
the horse was backed out upon the footway easily. He was a
very large and powerful animal, of a dark, chestnut colour, and
what is remarkable, with the exception of some cuts on his
forehead, nose, and breast, he was so little injured as, in the
space of half an hour from the time of the accident, to be again
harnessed to the dray, which drove off as if nothing had oc-
curred. In addition to the crowd which this odd event quickly
collected, the whole of the Treasury establishment were out
upon the parapet of the building, apparently not a little asto-
nished at this very singular visitation.
