ANOTHER GHOST.

NoTwrrtisTAßOtivd the sad catastrophe bCta
Sion ed by the Hammersmith Ghost, another Appari-
tion has appeared. This nightly wanderer ha:.' ch,xeo
St. James's Park for a plate of rendezvous, where it
has been regularly seen by the Soldiers on g'stitti for
upwards of a we k past, between the hours of one,
and two o'clock in the morning. A few nights ago,
it was observed at a lite hour by one of the Cold_.
stream Regiment, whist on duty near the Royal
Cockpit. The poor fellow is ready to swear w
sa
pass by him a worum without a head. The moitt
he refletied, the more terrified he became, as he
knew all the Park gates had been fastened tc.,
some hours, and therefore could not suppose
to be some one who had got into the
the purpose of frightening him. The Soldier is
sure it was not a person dressed up in a white
sheet, because he could plainly discern the arms
and notwithstanding his great alarm, he observed
that the shoulders the Ghost were the hii>.lif!.:t
part of it; he titer ire concluded, • whatever it
might be, that it hati (7.t no .head, This' man was
considered as one of he most resolute men 'in the
Regiment. He was, however, taken iii immediately
on. his leaving guard, and the•next day sent to the
'hospital, where he still remains. On Tuesday
one of his comrades having heard of the affair, •and
having to take the same watch that night, was re,-
solved to look out-for the GLrt, and to speak to it
accordingly, at the usual "time, her Ghostship paid
him a visit. She appeared again without a head,
and entered, the Park from the end of Queen.street,
near..to the Royal Cockpit. This veteran, who had
often braved a cannon.ball, was now panic_struck at
a sha-dalat. He describea himself to have rot a lo.ck;
jaw, and when he warned to try, " Who comes •
there," he could not titter a word. Although he
was tongue-tied, it. does not appear, howevca,; tu;:
was. leg.tied ; for on the Ghost
,seeming inclined
to
.he better acquainted with him, he .qoitttat
his
.post, and ran with all possible speed ttl,
the guard-room, where he had scarce, recited the
disthal story to the Serjeant, Before he fell into
strong fits, and continued so ill afterwards, than
he was taken to the hospital. on Wednesday, where
he is now confined to his bed. Another night thi
headless g,iost held its midnight revels in an empty
house behind the Armoury Roem, and amused itself
for some time in Opening and shutting the windows ;
hut what is most remarkable of all, the Apparition
called out as lustily,for a light, as if it had got
boatswain's head upon its shoulders. Having,finish
ed its pranks in the empty'dwelling, the soldier who
was a witness to ' this novel scene observed this
dreadful sothre to pass by him at the distance of'
co yards,)andufalied over the park
.aling as easy as
he could step over a straw; it then proceeded to-
wards the Canal, and vadShed from his !.ight. Tilt- le
are several othei stories current among:.:t the Cold,
stream Regiment• respeffing the nocturnal gambols
of this Ghvst, and it is said,
that several Soldiers,.
