PAVILION.

The holyday eaten tinments commenced here with a
splendid necromantic melodrama—as the play bills have
it—from the pen of WALKER, yclept the Wizard Priest.
It is a clever and t ffective piece, was extremely well acted,
and perfectly successful. The opening scene exhibits pre-
parattons for the nuptials of De Brano (Ravatown) and
Rosario (Miss GEovE), which disconcerts Baroza
(FREER), confessor to the family of Don Manuel, father
of Rosario. The plot runs thus :—The Monk retires to
his cell, and invokes the demon Althalas (ArtnErtrort),
who gives him a familiar in the person of Cotopax (T.
HILL) to minister to his desires. Baroza then appears
besore Rosario as her former lover, long thought dead.
De Brano pronounces him an imposter, and is backed by
Dorando (FAanELL); the Monk is put to several trials
to prove his identity—with the aid of the sprite he
passes the ordeal, and his marriage is announced to
take place immediately. De Brano calls for some delay
in order to prove his assertion ; this being granted, Rosario
has revealed to her in a vision proofs of the Monk's decep-
tion, and has placed round her neck by a fairy, Rivuletta
(Mrs. HERRING) an amulet, to counteract the Cabella of the
Monk, which in the end defeats his projects, and finally
consigns him to the hands of the Demon, who bears him
off in fiery triumph to the regions below. So much for
the general action, the interest of which is much diversi-
fied. The whole of the scenery is suitable and pleasing,
and some of it even beautiful, particularly the views of
the gardens of the castle, by moon-light, the fairy lake,
and enchanted gardens of the fairy fountain. The bur-
letta of Love under a Lamp-post followed, and introduced
Mr. and Mrs. CRAMER PLUMER as Arthur Melbourn
and Ellen Bloonily. They were very cordially received,
and sang the songs allotted to them so well that we re-
gretted their parts did not contain more. The enter-
tainments concluded with an excellent comic pantomime
called Harlequin and St. Crispin.

We understand that the Kirkaldy smacks are
getting increased quantities of goods from Dumfermline,
in consequence of diminished sea risk ; the additional
safety inducing the proprietors of goods to take their own
risks, and enabling them to save the expense of insurance.
Scotsman.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—Just after Mr.
WILD'S performance (summezeet over eight horses) at the
Circus, on Wednesday evening, one of the clowns ( Honaxs)
ascended the inclired plane, and ran along the board as if
to throw a surnmerset into the ring. Instead of doing ao,
however, from some cause or other, he only pitched for-
ward and came on his head, on the sack of chaff which is
laid in the ring to break the fall on such occasions. He
was immediately taken into an adjoining room in a state
of insensibility, and two surgeons (Messrs. BAGNALL and
WEAvEit) arrived in less than five minutes to his assist-
ance. He spoke a few words, and tasted a little brandy
and water, but he gradually sank, and in about twenty
minutes life was wholly extinct.—Chester Chronicle.

subject, but which, in fact, amounts to say-
ing in so many words that no man
shall save at all. The evidence given
by the Commissioners has, however, gone some
way in converting the Times, for it sees that all
saving is actually put -an end to by giving em-
ployment to the idle, the improvident, and the
destitute, merely because.they are such, to the
exclusion of those who have given the best
of all possible proofs of industry and pro-
vidence. Our friend only contends now that
improvidence should have the priority of em-
ployment, and sees no harm in providence after-
wards coming in for a share. The distinction is
more one of words than of substance, for it is
clear that the tendency of only one improvident
man getting a preference over all the provident
of a parish, is to make them all improvident.
However, the symptom of desiring to escape,
even by a verbal distinction, from the false po-
sition which our contemporary took up at the
beginning, is encouraging, and leads us to hope
that he will by and by see that it is nearly as
foolish to thrust one's fist only into a furnace as
the whole arm.

The affairs of the East are now the engrossing
subjects of speculation with the French jour-
nalists. The Messager des Chanibres, of Sun.
day, contains a long article, headed " News
from Alexandria," which, however, furnishes
us with little or no fresh intelligence of moment,
but merely confirms the statement, which has
already appeared in The Sun, of the Pacha of
EGYPT'S summary and indignant rejection of
the terms offered him by the French Admi-
ral as the basis of a treaty between Egypt
and the Porte. In another part of The Sun
will be found an able article on the subject by
" 0. P. Q.," to which we direct the attention
of our readers.

No official account has been received here of
the arrival of Admiral ROUSSIN at Toulon,
which is mentioned in the Message,- des
Chambres ; but all the unfavourable accounts
from Turkey, which have appeared in the
French papers, are fully confirmed in the
despatches received by the British and
French Governments. These accounts ap-
pear to have created considerable sensation in
Paris, and to have been exceedingly unwelcome
to the present Ministry. Indeed we should not
be surprised at their producing a material change
in the Cabinet of the Tuileries ; for as Lord
PALMERSTON refuses to meet the Turkish
question in the way desired by the French Go-
vernment, and as Marshal SouLT is unwilling
to grapple with the Autocrat single-handed,
it will be for the Chamber of Deputies to
decide whether France shall remain a quiescent
spectator of the further political aggrandizement
of Russia, by which in the end France must
become a sufferer. We have reason to believe
that Marshal SouLT has spared no effort to
induce our Cabinet to concur with him
in some positive demonstration towards Rus-
sia, provided the conduct of the Autocrat
should render it necessary ; but Lord
PALMERSTON does not, it seems, feel in-
clined to take so decided a course, and the
Emperor of RUSSIA being thoroughly aware of
that disinclination, does not scruple to take ad.;
vantage of it in his relations with the French
Government. The Paris papers, which are in
the pay of the Ministry, would lead the public to
believe that Marshal SOULT will vindicate the
honour, and provide for the security, of France
by the adoption of a firm and positive tone to-
wards Russia ; but we venture to assert that
unless the Chamber of Deputies should insist
upon such a course, he will not embroil himself
with Russia on account of her encroachments
on Turkey.

ANECDOTE.—The late Dr. HUNTER of
Edinburgh, Professor of Divinity, was solicited by a
Rev. Doctor, deep in the moderate interest of the Church,
for his support in a question which was coming before the
Assembly. The Professor replied, " Why, Dr. B..-DE,
I will undoubtedly support you, if, after I have heard the
cause pled, I find you in the right." To this the appli-
cant replied, " Right, Doctor !—Right !—D'ye re illy
think I would have travelled seventy-two miles from
D —ries to seek your support of the right ? P,'s because
I'm in the wrong that I ask your vote as a favour."

OPTICAL WONDERS.—PeopIe laugh at the
story of Argus with a hundred eyes ; but whit was even
Argus to some insects ? The cornea of insects seems cut
into a number of little planes or facets, like the facets of a
diamond, presenting the appearance of net-work : and
each of these facets is supposed to possess the power and
properties of an eye. LEWeNHOECK counted in the cornea
of abeetle 3,181 of these facets ;of a horse-fly, 8,000 ;
and of the grey-drone fly, 14,000 ! ! !

NArlt PACHA, who has just left England, on
his return to Constantinople, was much gratified by his
visit to England, and charmed with our modes and customs.
He speaks French like a Parisian, and converses with ani-
mation and gaiety. Being questioned by a lady, if he
did not consider it a hardship for Englishmen to be con-
fined to one wife, instead of having, as in Turkey, a
plurality,—he politely replied, that as the generality of
English ladies had each in her own person the attrac-
tions of half a drzen ladies of all others, he considered one
English wife A more desirable possession than six Turkish
ones. He visited all our institutions, and displayed great
knowledge in medicine and surgery, as he has given much
of his attention to both, in his own country, for the purpose
of forwarding improvements in each branch. NA3II PACHA
is a very good-looking man, of about five-and-thirty years
well informed, and peculiarly well bred. He has
only two wives, both of whom have given him children,
since his departure from Constantinople. Of our Premier,
NAMI PACHA observed, that he realized the idea he had
formed of the appearance of our aristocracy, looking a
lord Iran bead to toot ; and that he knew more of the
affairs of Turkey than the greatest part of those who were
on the spot.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

We have no arrivals this morning, with the exception
of the Malta mail, which sailed on the 20th of March,
and his had the quick passage from Gibraltar of six days.
In all probability she has brought late intelligence from
the East, but nothing as yet has transpired.
They write from Paris by the mail this morning that
the Russian Government is anxious .W make the affairs of
Constantinople entirely to depend on her adjustment, and
that no other power should interfere in the question, and
she imagines that France and England will consent to it;
but this will not be complied with, as we may judge by the
armaments now going forward in both countries, as orders
have been sent by the telegraph to Cherbourg, Brest, and
Toulon, to get all the ships ready with the greatest speed.
Accounts from Jassy state that four divisions of the
Russians have entered that town to proceed to the assist-
ance of the Turks.

Consols continue rather heavy at the price they left off
yesterday, 87i 4 for the Account, with nothing doing.

HALF-PAST ONE.

We are credibly informed that Sir Stratford Canning
has sent to the Spanish Government a very energetic and
pressing note, demanding of Spain to join England and
France to terminate the present distressed state of Portu-
gal, on which Zea Bermudez immediately assembled a
Council, and it was expected that tho answer would be
favourable.

The private letters by the estafette from Paris this
morning state that the affairs of Turkey would come to
an amicable adjustment.
The speculators in the Funds are at a stand still this
morning, but Consols are a shade better, from 87i I, to
87.1 ; for next account, 878 88.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Stock has advanced
per cent. ; in other securities little or nothing doing.

LlGHT.—According to Doctor BREWSTER,
light moves at a velocity of 192,500 miles in a second of
time. Sir J. HERSCHEL states, that a ray of light tra-
vels over 192,000 miles in the beating of a pendulum of
a clock. Dr. THOMPSON is of opinion, that no particle
of light weighs the one millionth millionth part of a grain.

We understand a considerable improvement
has taken place in the shawl trade of this city. As a
proof of this, a deputation from the shawl weavers having
met with the manufacturers, soliciting a rise of wages,
they were not only received in the most conciliatory man.
ner, but have got an advance in prices to a considerable
amount. Reciprocal feeling like this is always pregnant
with beneficial effects to both parties.—Scotsman.

Some important light was thrown on the
system of mnemonics by the examination of a witness at
the late Bucks Assizes, who believed be remembered the
High Cross at Wycomb, " because he bad been whipped
there !"

MORTALITY OF ASTRONOMERS.—Out of
85 persons who devoted themselves wholly to astronomical
pursuits, five lived to between 90 and 100 years ; eighteen
to between 80 and 90 ; twenty-five between 70 and 80 ;
seventeen between 60 and 70 ; ten between 50 and 60 ;
five between 40 and 50 ; and four between 30 and 40.
A " FINE" SINGER.—How- TO " STOP"
" fine" singer, after dinner, is a greater bore
than a punster. He is al,vays insufferably conceited, so
that it is not very easy to keep him down—but it is pos-
sible, nevertheless. One of the best rules is, as soon as
he has sung his first verse, and while he is taking breath
for the second, applaud him must vociferously, as if all
were over; and say to the gentleman furthest from you at
the table, that " the conclusion of the song is admirable."
It is ten to one that his musical pride will take affront,
and he refuse to sing any more—muttering something to
himself about your want of politeness. For that, of
course, you will not care three straws, baying extin-
guished him. If the company press him to go on,
you are safe ; for he will then grow restive to
show his importance, and you will escape his songs
for the rest of the evening. Or, after be has really
done, and is sucking in the bravoes of the people at table,
stretch across to him and say—." Upon my word you sung
that very well, Mr. a—a—a, very well indeed ; but did
you not (laying a most decided emphasis on the word
" not ")—but did you not hear Mr. Braham (or any
body else whom you think most annoying to him) sing
the same song in some play, or opera, or something ?"
When he answers " No, " in a pert, snappish style
( which he most probably will do), resume your erect
posture, and say, quite audibly, to your next neighbour—
"So I thought." This twice operated is a dose. "Or
may be ye might help us to adverteese him in the papers,
to let his frien's ken." It is needless to add, that the
clergyman advised them just to leave the suspected philoso-
pher to himself so long as he lived quietly and paid his
bills.—Angus Anecdotes.
M. 14AFF1TTE.—The:subscription suggested
and set up by the independent portion of the French
press for a fund wherewith to purchase M. LAFFITTE'S
magnificent hotel, now on sale for the benefit of his estate,
and make a present of it to its present owner in considera-
tion of the important services rendered by him to the cause
of liberty in 1830, is going on very prosperously. The
sum required for the purchase will be about 3,000,000 of
francs (120,0001. sterling), and no dotibt is entertained
that it will be raised in a few weeks. Persons of all par-
ties and descriptions throughout France hasten to contri-
bute to the fund. M. AGUAM has subscribed the sum of
100,000 francs (1,0001.), and another subscription an-
nounced, though not to be compared in amount to
Ao UADO'S is not less remarkable on account
of the quarter from which it comes : the sub-
scription of M. de CHATEAURRIAND. He states
his

LITERATURE.

QUARTERLY RE VIEW—No. 97.

We have not for some years pastjtiot-indeed
since the secession of the late Mr. Gifford—seen
so efficient a number as the present. Out of
fourteen articles, of which it consists, ten, at
least, are of general interest. Their variety too
is remarkable. The first, on Gifford's posthu-
mous edition of Shirley's Plays and Poems, is
the production of an overflowing mind, and
canvasses the deserts of the old dramatist—the
last of a race of giants—with rare minuteness and
felicity. From the ease and grace of the style,
which is full and copious without being re-
dundant, we are tempted to attribute this essay
to the practised pen of Southey. At any rate, it
would do no discredit to the purest, most na-
tural, and most idiomatic English writer of the
day. As a dramatist, Shirley affords abundant
food for criticism. He was remarkable for his
inventive powers, and the skilful manner in
which he unravelled—that is to say, when he
took pains about it, for he is sometimes abrupt
and negligent to a degree—the most perplexed
and entangled plots. The Reviewer indulges us
with copious extracts from this fine old drama.
List's plays, on perusing which we are at once
struck with the resemblance between him and
Beaumont and Fletcher. In his more pathetic
and subdued style, this resemblance is very
marked. From a vast mass of extracts we select
the following little poetic titbits

" We come from nothing into life, a time
We measure with a short breath, and that of•en
Mad. tedious too with our own cares that fill it,
Which, like so many atoms in a sunbeam,
But crowd and jostle one another."

Those acquainted with the charming little
lyrics of Fletcher, which are scattered so pro-
fusely through his plays, will recognize a kindred
spirit in these plaintive lines :

" Hark! how chimes the passing bell!
There's no music like a knell ;
All the other sounds we hear,
Flatter, and but cheat the ear ;
This doth put us still in mind
That our flesh must be resigned,
And a general silence made,
The world be muffled in a shade."

Again, the few following pathetic touches
will bring to the reader's recollection Aspasia
in the " Maid's Tragedy." They are put into
the mouth of a female who, like her prototype,
has been disappointed in her matrimonial hopes :
I shall be married shortly
To one, my Lord, whom you hive all heard talk of—

Your fathers knew him well; one who will never
Give cause I should suspect hitn to forsake me;
A constant lover ; one whose lips, though cold,
Distil chaste kisses; though our bridal bed
Be not adorned with roses, 'twill be green ;
We shall have virgin laurel, cypres4, yew,
To make us garlands; though no pine do burn,
Our nuptial shall have torches, and our chamber
Shall be cut out of marble, where we'll sleep
Free from all care for ever—Death, my Lotd,
I hope shall be my husband."
Though not original, the subjoined ideas are
very gracefully expressed:—

---" Why should I
Give any entertainment to my fears?
Suspicions are but like the shapes of clouds,
And idle forms i' the air, we make to fright us."

No reader of the old dramatists but is well
acquainted with Shirley's description of a sudden
death. It is one of the most exquisitely poetical
passages in the language.

—" Yes, Felisarda, he is gone that in
The morning. promised many years, hut death
filth in few hours made him as stiff, as all
The winds of winter had flung cold upon him
And whispered him to marble."

Of the peculiar merits of Mr. Gifford's edition
of Shirley, the reviewer says but little, which is
a defect, for never was there a commentator
whose character was so broadly marked, yet is so
little spoken of, as the author of the Baviad and
Mwviad. The subject of his annotations was
for the time being his idol. Thus, in his edition
of Massinger, and still more of Ben Jonson, it is
really almost absurd to see the coarse, intempe-
rate, and even vindictive way in which Mr. Gifford
speaks of those who have ventured to breathe a
syllable to the disparagement of his favourite (pro
temp.) dramatists. Drummond of Hawthornden,
Whalley, and a variety of others are literally

scalped, tomohawked, and flayed alive for such
heresy. Throughout his long life Mr. Gifford
was a strange paradox—an incomprehensible
mixture of oil and vinegar. The sourest and
most envenomed of authors, was the most good-

natured and benevolent of men. The affec-
tionate master who erected a tomb in honour of
his old nurse, was the same man who, to use
the emphatic language of Hazlitt, " struck

at the crutches of the infirm and broken

hearted Mary Robinson. " As a critic,
Mr. Gifford was just suited to his time, and no

more. His perceptions were wholly microscopic.
He was cold, precise, mechanical, without an
atom of feeling for his art. No man detected a
false quantity with such acuteness—none was
ever so obtruse to all the loftier faculties of the
imagination. We much question whether in his
heart he really admired Byron. Judging from his

alterations and suggestions, as we find them in

scattered notes, in Murray's late edition of the
Poet's works, we should be inclined to think his
Lordship in all his nobler flights soared far above

the ken of his critic. We may sum up this
passing notice, by saying that as a poet, Mr.
Gifford has long since descended to the " tomb
of all the Capulets," and that as a critic, his fame
is fast following to the same capacious sepulchre.
" Poems by Alfred Tennyson" is a stinging
review of the productions of a young man, who,
whatever may be said of his eccentricities and
errors of taste—a fault by no means of unfre-
quent occurrence among young writers—is un-
questionably not devoid of the " vision and the
faculty divine." Mr. Tennyson has the raw
material of poetry about him ; but time, perse-
verance, and a familiarity with the best models,
are necessary to render it available. We know
of no other modern writer who could have
penned the beautiful stanzas entitled " Marianna
at the Moated Grange." " Memoirs of Dr.
Burney" will be read with interest from its
exposure of the absurdity of the well known
anecdote respecting the authorship of " Eve-
lina." It probes it to the quick, and proves
it to have been based on falsehood. Every
one who has read Madame D'Arblay's tales
—and who has not ?—is aware that the suc-
cess of her first, " Evelina," was mainly owing
to the extraordinary circumstances:under which

it was supposed to have been published. It
was whispered in the literary circles, and soot,
became the common talk of the day, that the fair
authoress wrote it, by stealth, in her nursery, at
the early age of seventeen ! Hence she became
the miracle—the one, engrossing wonder of the
age, and, as such, was brought under the notice
of Burke, Johnson, and the rest of that im-
mortal school, and ultimately introduced to, and
patronized by, the Royal Family. Pity that so in-
teresting an anecdote should now, at the lapse of
►early half a century, be proved an utter falsity!
But truth must be spoken, let who will be the
victim : we proCeed, therefore (in the words of
the Reviewer), to give the solution of this miracle.
It will divest Madame d'Arblay of much of her
literary radiance, but it will still leave her quite
enough to dazzle the eyes of posterity. Cecilia
and Camilla will last so long as the language of
truth and nature are recognised by the world.

" The good Doctor tells us that he was ' surprised and
delighted ;' and delighted and surprised he might well be,
for even after his evidence and the more minute account
given by Madame d'Arblay herself, we are utterly at a
loss to comprehend how a girl of seventeen, slow, shy, se-
cluded—almost neglected—never having been, as it would
seem, from under the parental roof, and having seen little
or nothing of life (but her own little play-room), could
. .

have written such a work as ' Evelina.' • We are not blind
to its faults—the plot is puerile enough—the denouement
incredible—the latter part very tedious—there is much
exaggeration in some of the minor characters, while that
of the heroine herself is left almost a blank—but the ele-
gance and grace of the style, the vivacity of many of the
descriptions, the natural though rather too broad humour,
the combination of the minor oircumstances, the artist-
like contrast of the several characters, and, above all, the
accurate and distinctive knowledge of life and manners of
different classes of society—from what sources did this
child, writing by stealth in the play-room, derive them ?
If she had lived a few years in the world there would
have been not much to marvel at—at five and twenty,
Evelina,' though a clever work even for a writer of that
age, would not have been such a wonder as the world has
been accustomed to consider it ; nor would it, we are per-
suaded, have excited anything like the public enthusiasm
which, when the author's age and situation became known,
' Evelini' produced. This is evident from the fate of her
succeeding works. Her next, ' Cecilia,' published five
years after, though perhaps better in every respect, main-
tained and only maintained her reputation—it was no
longer a miracle ; the growth of years and increased know•
ledge of society and the world had rendered it not even
surprising ; besides ' it n'y a que le premier pas qui
route.' and if genius were to be progressive with age and
opportunity, the authoress of ' Evelina at seventeen might
have been expected to produce even a better work than
Cecilia,' at two•and-twenty. ' Camilla,' published in
1769, near twenty years after 'Evelina,' and we think
not inferior to it as a literary work—though it is cer-
tainly below Cecilia' in every view—was almost a fai-
lure, and a failure chiefly by contrast with the promise
given by the dawning youth of the author.
"It was, therefore, not without surprise, that in the
long and circumstantial account given by Madame D'Ar-
blay of the composition of 'Evelina,' we observed that no
allusion was made to what we had always considered the
must extraordinary ingredient in the story—the author's
age. This induced us to look into the matter a little more
closely, when we were additionally surprised to find that
every little incident which could have led to an exact cal-
culation of the interval between ' burning the manuscripts
when the author had attained her fifteenth year,' and the
publication of Evelina' in 1778, and, in short,-every clue
to the date of Madame d'Arblay's birth, has been most
curiously obliterated. To a cursory reader, the interval
between Caroline Evelyn' and Evelina' would appear
certainly not to exceed two or three years; and the men-
tion of the.. 'disguise of the young messenger by the
laughing committee' would confirm the idea of a boyish,
and girlish frolic. After turning the volumes over again
and again, and wasting a good deal of time in pursuit of
evidence on this point, we were about to give up the
hopes of any new discovery, and to acquiesce in the received
opinion, when we discovered a casual hint that she was
born at Lynn, and as her father left that town in 1760,
it was clear that she was somewhat older than had
hitherto been supposed. This induced an inquiry
at Lynn, and we have found in the registry of St.

Margaret's parish there, that Frances, the daughter of
Charles and Esther Burney. was baptised in July 1752 ;'
so that she was past twenty fire when Evelina' was pub-
lished ; and also that her ' disguised young messenger'
(born in 1757) was sot only twenty years of age, but had,
we believe, already graduated at the University. We need
not repeat our observation of the vast difference between
a shy, backward, neglected girl of seventeen, writing in
the play-room, and a woman of five-and twenty, who
had probably passed seven or eight years in general so-
ciety; and we are, therefore, not much surprised that
Madame d'Arblay, though she may have bad no share in
propagating the original error, should have shown so little
anxiety to correct it. To this feeling, therefore, we are
now constrained to attribute that studious omission of

dates which had at first appeared quite uniccountable."

" Death and Madness" is an essay in which
some novel and ingenious views are taken of the
characters of Hamlet and Lear. " Aims and
Ends" is a sketchy notice of a late fashionable
novel of that name. The great fault we find
with all such tales is, that they are so conven-
tional as to be utterly unintelligible ten miles
out of London. That which is wit and smart-
ness and all that, to readers within hearing
of the sound of St. Paul's great bell, is sheer
nonsense to those who reside in the more se-
(Festered provinces. The " Exclusive" or
" Knife-and-fork " school of Mr. Theodore
Hook and his followers, must strangely puzzle
the brains of an unsophisticated country reader.
Of the remaining articles, we have barely left
ourselves space to say that they will richly repay
perusal.

TRUE ROYALTY.— When NAPOLEON

ACCIDENT TO THE DEFIANCE COACH.—
We are sorry to state that the Defiance London coach was
upset on Friday afternoon week, on its way to this town,
near Norbury toll-bar. It appears that, the Defiance, the
Magnet, and the Red Rover, were running close upon each
other at a fast, but the usual rate, the Dance leading,
when the axletree broke close to the arm, and the coach
of course immediately upset. When the confusion arising
from this shocking event bad comparatively subsided, it
was found that the leg of the coachman, SHAWCROSS, was
broken; Major PAGE, of the SOth Foot, who was riding
on the box with the driver, had also his leg broken ; and
all the other passengers were more or less hurt. The
passengers, except the coachman and Major PAGE, were
conveyed on to Manchester in the Red Rover and the
Magnet ; but the Major was conveyed to the Wellington
Bridge Inn, Stockport, where he still lies, and is im-
proving daily. SHAWCROSS, the coachman, was sent by
some conveyance to Oldfield-lane, and is, at present, nut
going on quite so well as could be wished.—Manchester
Guardian.

MURDER OF TILE POLICEMAN ATDULEEK.
—The policeman of the Duleek station, who was shot in
endeavouring to capture the robber, was named Jour;
MALONE. Ile has left a wife and children. It appears
that he did not fire at the retreating robber, but over his
bead, to intimidate and stop him. As soon as the car-
bine was discharged the robber turned, walked delibe-
ratelywhich killed him instantaneously. The names of the
tip to MALONE, and fired a pistol at his breast,
robbed and wounded men, who arrived in the city yester-
d are KEARNEY and JONES. Their heads are dread-
fully battered—for it appears the robbers were amid
