" FITZ-GEORGE" is not withdrawn or sup-
pressed ; but a delay is occasioned by cancelling some
sheets ; it will be seen, however, that the author has not
been bought off.
The office of Chief Magistrate of Bow-street,
vacant by the death of Sir R. BIKNIE, is not, it is said, to
be filled up. A third Magistrate will be appointed, but
without that title, and at a reduced salary, by which 8001.
a-year will be saved to the country.
We understand that a marriage is shortly to
take place between the beautiful and accomplished widow
of a celebrated East Indian Governor (whose memoirs are
before the public), now residing in this town, and an under
tutor at one of the colleges at Cambridge, who has lately
been employed in translating NIEBUHR'S " History of
Rome" from the Germill.—B toy Herald.
WIGAN, MAY 2.—A public dinner is to
be given to-day at the Eagle and Child, to RALPH
THICKNESS, ESQ., M. P. for the borough. The dinner
is given by the Hon. Member's constituents, for his very
satisfactory Parliamentary conduct.
The debts of a certain M.P., and leader of
haut ton, are said not to exceed 300,0001., and that he
has an income of from 12,0001. to 15,0001. per annum to
meet them.

It is rumoured that a Noble Duke's Bill has
been given up, his Grace having, on a late division, ob-
tained a receipt in full.
It is said that the members of the Oriental
Club, horrified by the impure atmosphere of the neigh -
bourhood, are about to institute legal means for renderiut,

DRURY,LANE THEATRE.—Love in a
Village, whose heroine, Rosetta, is s?emingly the esta-
blished test of an English prima donna's qualifications,
was last night again the chosen medium of introducing a
new aspirant to operant honours in the person of a young
lady of elegant and prepossessing appearance. The de-
butante's name did not transpire; but it is said that she
is from the Sister Isle; and that the present was " her
first appearance upon any stage." Her acting betrayed
to our ears no peculiar accent by which her country could
have been discovered ; but, in many parts, strongly re-
minded us of Mrs. Woon, to whom, also, in person, we
thought, she bore some resemblance. In the songs of
the opera she acquitted herself with great success, and was
loudly encored in the two which —as it is now the univeral
fashion—she introduced, the Irish ballad ol " The Min-
strel Boy," and " Arise to Matin Cali"—a composition
by LMr• JAMES BARTON, whose pupil she is said to be.
FARREN'S Justice Woodcock, though less luscious than
MUNDEN'S, and less broad than DOWTON'S, is not less
amusing than either.

The great extent of orders, as well in Scot-
land and Ireland as at home, for Mr. WASHINGTON
IRvING's new sketch-book " The Alhambra," and the
desire of the publishers to accommodate all purchasers at
the same time, have, we are requested to state, caused ar-
rangements

delay to their respective booksellers in town and country.
It is recorded of the celebrated Mr. CURRAN
that going to his inn early one summer morning, after a
long sitting with some friends in Glasgow, he observed a
man sound asleep in the kennel, his upturned face gilded
with the rays of the newly-risen sun. Mr. CURRAN
awoke the sleeper, who, like himself, had been indulging
rather freely the previous night, and had no recollection of
taking up the position in which he was found. After the
first surprise was over, he thrust his hands in his pocket,
where he found a quantity of small change, on disc,ivering
which, with a face of the utmost compunction and alarm,
he exclaimed, " Gude guide us! ha'e I been sae far left to
mysel' as to change a note?"
Last night, when the turnkey went into the
day-room to put the prisoners, who were sentenced to
transportation at last circuit, into their different cells for
the night, he was attacked by some of them, who threw
him over, and having tied his legs, and rolled him in blan-
kets, held him fast, while some of the others took posses-
Pion of the keys, and liberated several of the prisoners who
had been locked up. Having raised a flag-stone, and pro-
ceeded to smash the window and iron-bars, the delinquents
had very nearly accomplished their purpose of escape, when
the cries of the tu, nkey, and the noise of the window,
at:tracted the attention of the other gaolers, who secured
i
prisoners, and placed them in safety.—Aberdeen
Chronicle.

HE CELEBRATED HORSE ECLIPSE.—
Previous to his running for the King's Plate at Win-
chester, in 1769, Mr. O'Kelly gave Wildman 650 guineas
ter half a share of him, and afterwards purchased the
other halt for 1,100 guineas. He was the winner of eleven
King'.a Plates, carrying 12st. weight in all except one.
The fame of Eclipse as a stallion was so great, that
O'Kelly, when asked in 1779, what sum he would tkt
for him, is reported to have replied, that the price of his
stallion was 25,000/. down, an annuity of 500/. for his
own life, and the privilege of sending six mares to the
horse annually. He also stated, that he had realised
25,000/, by him. Eclipse died at Cannons, on the 28th
of February, 1789, aged twenty-five years; and, accord-
to the precedent of the Godolphin Arabian, cakes and ale
were given at his funeral.—New Sporting Magozine.
There lately occurred, not many miles from
the e
—roes, a disturbance among some of the poor people on
the removal of a cholera patient. The cry teas, " Kill
the doctors, use Board of Health !" but an old woman,
exerting herself with all her might to allay the tumult, at
last exclaimed, " Clear the way there, clear the way, here
comes the Bard Health !" This exclamation, as might
be expected,
commanded the attention of all; when, to
the astonishment of the mob, the " Board of Health,"
which the old woman referred to, Passed through the
crowd---in the shape of a baker, with a huge burden of
good humour the affray
loaves smokiog upon his bread-board !
ended.—Scotsman.With this piece of
