the dwelling-house of Mr. Rancid, a Merchant in

pick-lock keys; and a dark--lanthorn, such as is used

to the amount of. upwards of flirty pounds.
On the 79th inst. a French cook, at the A/Lir-
' Shal-DeTu,renne Tavern, in Rotterdam, completely
severed his windpipe with.a large carving knife, it:

It was singular that this fellow would never Stay

means. without company, exclaiming that' the Devil
would fetch him! This is the third act of suicide
committed at the above place within a few day:_...
the wife of a mastrr hair-dresser left her iced pri-

thelother side of tfie'Maev:, in a -tiej,,Cted posture*,
when, being addressed by a person who passed along
as `to the' cause' of his apparent melanch6ly, he drew
a pistol Irdih his bosom, and stopt at once the effect
of all' inquiry. '

Gentlemen, I trust I.may also affirm, that I have
not been inatteittive to the local concerns and parti-
cular interests of my Cimstituents.—Chiefly indeed
owing to a *weak constitution, which after the la-
bours of a Session of. Parliament requires to be re-
stored by medical attention, and recruited by rest
and quiet, partly from various other causes, I have
been-less personally•present among ,you than it was

prefer the solid substance of diligent itiention.to
your public and private concerns, before those petty •
personal assiduities in which they must needs abound,
who by them...l,,eoulti compensate for the scanty:l)o-
- *lrrnance of more important duties.
. Gentlemen, it is natural for me, in meeting you
this place, and giving, as it were:, an account of

3eading events. which havne happened since we were

Gentletnee, when last I met you in this place, we
were in circumstances of great Public Danger. The
prospeft shortly after became more gloomy, and the
danger more imminent ; yet, even these dangers,
