FEVER IN SCOTLAND.—For some weeks past a
virulent fever has prevailed in Perth. On Sabbath week,
nine bodies were interred in the Greyfriars' burying-ground,
indicating a greater mortality than prevailed during the
worst period of the cholera. . . .

NO less than thirteen provincial theatres are, at
this moment, preparing The Jewess for representation.
The receipts last week at Drury-lane have, we are informed,
exceeded 2,300/. _

Sir George Warrender, whose suit for divorce from
his Lady (before her marriage the Honourable Miss Bos-
cawen, sister to the Earl of Falmouth) was the subject of
general conversation in the upper circles Last season, is still
residing in comparative retirement at his seat Lochend,
East Lothian. The beautiful seat of Sir George, in
Berkshire, called Cliefden, is now, we believe, occupied by
his brother, John Warrendcr, Esq., who is married to a
sister of the present Lord Alvanley.

It is rumoured that a debut will soon be made on
the English stage of a singular kind, calculated to excite a
good deal of curiosity. A French gentleman, author of a
great number of comic pieces which have been represented
in various Parisian Theatres, and equally well known as a
comic actor under the assumed name of Fabien, is about to
visit us. The piece which is already spoken of in the
theatrical world, is Changing Servants. It is written by
Mr. Fabian himself, who acts in it-the part of a Frenchman,
speaking English as well as he can. The character, we are
assured, is full of originality, and there is abundance of
laughable incident.
The English undertaker received four hundred
pounds for conveying the remains of the late Earl of Char-
leville to this country.—Dublin Freeman:

On Wednesday last as man named Lunt, residing
at Lowhill, Liverpool, was at work on his shopboard,

box, he fell backward and instantly expired.
In February last, we announced that the wife of a
wailer named Tanner, then living in this town, had been
delivered of three children. Since then the family have

five children within eleven months ! None of the young ones
aro living, but the mother is doing well.—Liverpool Paper.
'IRISH CLERGY.—A meeting was held at Lancaster
on Monday to take into consideration the present distressed
situation of the Irish Clergy, and the means of alleviating it.
On the afternoon of Thursday last, an aged female
named Bridget Porter, who resided in a small cottage at
Seascale, in Gesforth, was unfortunately burnt to death in
her humble domicile. It is supposed that she had been in
the act of putting some fuel upon the fire, and that her
clothes had ignited. The deceased had attained the great
age 01.87 years.
DEATH OF THE PRINCESS TALLEYRAND.—
The Princess, from whom M. Talleyrand has been sepa-
rated for a great number of years, died on Wednesday last,
in her 74th year. She was a native of Denmark.

It is a singular fact in relation to the two greatest
actors of our time, •that '['alma was educated in England,
and John Kemble in France.
ITALIAN PICTURES OF MARTYRS.—The mar-
tyrs, Mr. Niebuhr observed, were tortured enough ; but
most of these representations are fictions. So much for
history ; and as to the fine arts, the disgusting is certainly
not their sphere.—Lieber's " Reminiscences of Niebuhr.

LOSS OF THE MEXICAN LITERATURE.—What
an immense treasure for the history of civilisation has been
lost for ever by the order of the first Bishop in Mexico,
to burn the whole native literature. Perhaps a greater one
than by Omar's conflagration. No greater loss has ever
happened.—Lieber's "Reminiscences of Niebuhr."
The Leicester Journal states that no opposition
will be made to the return of. Lord Charles Manners for

latter by Mr. Sutchbury, the Curator, and expressed him-
self highly gratified.
The authorities of the Stamp Office have at length
determined to proceed with vigour against the venders of

We • learn that a benefit is to be given this evening
at the Surrey Theatre, in aid of the fund for the support of
the wives and families of the Dorchester labourers. We wish
it all the success so charitable an object deserves, and have
no doubt that the bill of fare of the evening performances
will attract an overflowing house.

LORD MARYBORJUGH.—SeveraI rate-payers in
the borough of Carnarvon have addressed a public remon-
strance to this Nobleman, on his interference there with the
freedom of municipal election. His Lordship, it would ap-
pear, has been actively engaged, holding meetings, canvass-
ing, and declaring war against all those persons who would
not .do his bidding. Such conduct cannot consist with the
spirit of a free constitution.
CORONER'S INQUEST.—MELANCHOLY ACCl-
DENT.—Yesterday evening, an inquest was held at the.
Welsh Harp, Essex-street, Whitefriars, before Mr. Payne,
on view of the body of William Mathews, a fine little boy,
aged six years, whose death was occasioned by swallowing
spirits of vitriol. Mrs. Nixon, of No. 5, Silver-street,
Whitefriars, knew the deceased, whose mother lived in the
same house. The former was at nurse with a person in
Lombard-street, in the neighbourhood. On Friday last
the child came to Silver-street to see its mother, wlw, with
witness, was in the kitchen. Witness was engaged in
cleaning some copper culinary articles with spirits of vitriol,
which was on a table. Whilst so employed, and with her
back to the child, she heard it scream out, " Oh, mammy,
mammy, how hot it is." It was then immediately ascer-
tained that the poor little fellow had drank some of the
vitriol which was contained in a ginger-beer bottle. The
child's tongue swelled up to a large size, and the pernicious
liquid caused most torturing pain in the bowels. The mo-
ther took him to Mr. Brandiord, a surgeon in Fleet-street,
who, after examining the mouth, ordered a quantity of
warm water, and made up a bottle of medicine. The orders
of the surgeon were attended to, and the child vomited
black mucus. In the course of Friday night the
,nfrorings were allayed, and it appeared compop-d. On
si-
y morning Mr. Dunn saw hitn ;
worse, and died on Saturday afternoon, The Jury re-
turned a verdict of " Accidental Death."
