By letters from Sierra Leone, dated 27th January, we
learn that the Lynx, Lieut. Huntley, had captured, and
sent in there, under charge of Mr. Arundel, the second
master, the Portuguese brig Atrevidi, with 494 slaves on
board. The Pelorus, Commander Meredith, had also sent
in a Spanish Schooner, with 300 slaves ; and the Buzzard,
Lieut. M'Namara, a large brig under Spanish colours. The
latter vessel maintained a fight with the Buzzard for 45
minutes. She had a crew of 75 men, and 707 slaves on
board. The Spaniards lost seven men in the action, and
two men were killed on board the lin7zal .1. When the
prize arrived at Sierra Leone she was nearly a wreck,
and 307 slaves had died on the passage.

STEAM CONVEYANCE BETWEEN NEWCASTLE
AND LONDON.—.The spirited proprictota of the Lyndon and
Leith steam packets have resolved to run that large and beau-
tiful vessel, the Menai, between this town and the metropolis,
weekly, during the season. She is to leave London for this
place, for the first time, on Tuesday, the 21st, and Newcastle
for Londoii on Saturday, the 25th of April. It is expected
that the Menai will, on the average, perform her passage in
from 30 to 40 hours I—Newcastle Courant.
RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS.—The bells or the
parish church of St. Nicholas rang a merry peal on Thursday
evening, in honour of the resignation of Sir Robert Peel and
his colleagues, and we understand that those of St. Luke's
Church paid a similar compliment to the retiring Ministers.
We hear that, in consequence of orders to that effect from the
persons in authority, the bells of St. Peter's were silent, not-
withstanding the custom of ringing a peal on Thursday night,
which is said to depend on a quest left by a lady for that
purpose, the reason for the prohibition being a fear that if the
custom had been observed on that evening, the object might
have been misconstrued in a manner repugnant to Tory wishes
and feelings. If such be the fact, a question arises how far the
bequest of the bell loving lady, and the shoulder of mutton, or
whatever it may be dependent thereon, has been voided by the
breach of the conditions.—Liverpool Chronicle.
The Duke of Sutherland gave a magnificent enter-
tainment at his noble mansion (late York House) on Saturday.
The Duke of Devbnshire, the Earl of Carlisle, Earl Grey,
Lord Morpeth, Lord Lansdowne, and many other, distinguished
persons, with their ladies, were present. The grand apart.
ments were brilliantly illuminated, and the fine collection of
pictures, nearly unrivalled for their extent and beauty, was dis-
played to great advantage.
TIIE TORY ADDRESS.—Here, and in several of
the surrounding towns, the Tories begin the business of politi-
cal addresses on the Sunday. On Sunday morning the streets
were placarded with bills announcing that the address to the
King lay for signature at certain places, and at almost every
church in the town the address was placed, and the congre-
gations invited to sign it. The Sunday school children were
liberally allowed thus to signify their loyalty, and on Monday
the sheets were placed in the open streets, where the boys
amused themselves by writing dozens of names at a time. On
the Exchange the signing went on slowly, only seventy eight
names being affixed in three days, one half of them of persons
not resident in Manchester. The address, after four days, and
by such means, was signed by 6747 names—(we cannot say
persons)—not one fourth of the number which was obtained in
four hours to the petition to stop the supplies, when the Duke
of Wellington attempted to displace Earl Grey. The ad-
dress was sent off by the mail on Thursday morning, and at
Stockport crossed Mr. Murdo Young's express, bringing tid-
ings of the resignation of the Tory Ministers. A wag said,
" The Tories were sending restoratives to the dead I"—Man-
chester Times.

THE LIFE AND CORRESPONDENCE OF GAR-
RIcK.—We are not surprised at the interest felt respecting
this publication, a new and cheaper edition of which has just
appeared. It has been well observed that " the life of an
actor is a life of lives." He lives in the world's eye and in the
world's heart. He has no solitude ; his study is hung round
with living portraits, and his books are living lexicons and
walking cyclopedias. Ile has nothing to do with aught but
life ; and, as his study is of life, so his reward is of life. He
feels his living triumph, and sees his visible immortality. We
have in the above volumes not only the best account ever pub-
lished of Garrick himself, whose character is admirably deve-
loped in his epistolary correspondence, but also the letters of
the most eminent men of his time, with whom he was in. the
freest habits of social intercourse.

When we had the honour of, visiting Northumber-
I and House last summer, we were favoured with the sight of
an extraordinary fine and striking portrait of Napoleon, by
Phillips. It was painted under rather remarkable circum-
stances. Mr. Phillips, if our memory be correct, was commis-
sioned by his Grace the Duke of Northumberland to visit
Paris, during the reign of Napoleon, and to obtain permission
to paint his portrait. Bonaparte very unexpectedly declined
granting this favour, on the plea that he never sat to foreign
artists. The Empress Josephine, however, with her wonted
kindness and good nature, obviated the difficulty, without com-
promising her husband's plea, by prevailing upon him to allow
the drawing-room doors to be thrown open, whilst Mr. Phillips
should be in the adjoining apartment with his painting appara..
tus. By this arrangement, one of the finest likenesses of Na-
poleon extant was obtained ; and it reflects equal credit upon
the taste and liberality of its noble owner, that he has had a
large-sized miniature copy of the picture made in enamel.
Mr. Essex is the artist employed by his Grace the Duke on
this occasion, and he has executed his arduous task with a fide-
lity and beauty which impart a rare and gem-like value to his
labour. This enamel will, we understand, be in the forthcom-
ing exhibition at Somerset House.—Court Journal.

Our variable climate is exhibiting its trying, but not
unusual caprice, at this season. One of the last days of
March had all the heat of advanced summer, while on Satur-
day night the thermometer, which had on Friday been at 62,
sunk to 38.

A MAN CRUSHED TO DEATH BY A BOILER.
—About seven o'clock on Monday evening five or six boiler-
' makers, who were at work finishing a boiler, being unable to
raise it from the ground, applied to have some assistance from
the works.. Amongst other hands who went to assist them
was Warburton, who, after the boiler had been raised got
under it unknown to the other men, as is supposed in the ex-
pectation of helping to raise it. Having done what was ne-
cessary at it in that position, it was again lowered, when they
heard Warburton's shrieks, arLd found that his body was be-
neath it. It was immediately raised, and he was taken out
alive; but both his legs were broken, and he expired within'
five minutes, leaving a widow and four children. He was 42
years of age.-111anchester Guardian.
