DEATH or MR. MUNYARD, C
Among the gaps which death has caused in the theatrical
circle, the blank which " little Munyard" has left at the
Adelphi Theatre will not be readily filled. On Monday
night, the 15th inst., not more than an hour before the time
the veteran actress, Mrs. Glover, breathed her last, this
clever comedian expired, after a tedious and painful illness.
People seldom learn economy, till they have little
left to exercise it on .—Eliza Cook's Journal.
VAUXHALL GARDENS.---A new essay in eerostation
is to take place this afternoon, with Mr. Hugh Bell's loco.
motive balloon, in which he purposes making an ascent. On
ry the 9th of May a curiously constructed machine was observed
passing over London, which elicited extraordinary conjec-
tures. It appears that Mr. Bell has so constructed his bal-
loon as to possess full power over its destination, and tode-
scend at any determinate spot. The interest which the in-
vention has excited amongst men of science will doubtless
, attract a crowded assemblage.
