LYCEUM.—On the performance of Aladdin for the
second time on Tuesday, a few lines were introduced, refer-
ring to the birth of the infant Prince that morning. The
enthusiasm of the audience was awakened to such a degree,
that the National Anthem was immediately demanded, and
was played by the orchestra. At the Surrey Theatre also
" God save the Queen" was sung ; an additional verse, com-
posed on the occasion by a member of the company, being re-
ceived with immense applause.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RlVER.—Yesterday morn-
ing, between two and three o'clock, as a number of fishing-
smacks, laden with oysters, were coming up the river, when
off Bow-creek, owing to some mismanagement on the part
of the crew, one of the vessels, named the Mary Ann, of
Barking, ran foul of another, and in attempting to remedy
the mishap, the rope attached to a heavy block, used for the
purpose of hoisting the mainsail of the Mary Ann, gave way,
and the block falling on the head of one of the crew, named
Edwin Stevenson, who was at the time standing on the side
of the vessel, struck him with such force as to knock him
overboard, and before any, assistance could be rendered, the
poor fellow was drowned. So sudden was the accident, that
it was almost impossible to have saved deceased, as, after
being knocked overboard, he sunk, and did not again rise to
the surface of the water, although a good swimmer. The
body has not yet been found. Deceased was, we are in-
formed, a sober and industrious man of his class, and has, we
his
are
loss. sor to find, left a wife and two infant Children to mourn
ry

THE BODMIN MURDER.--BODMIN, TUESDAY.—
Matthew Weeks, who was convicted here on Friday last of
the wilful murder of Charlotte Dimond, has since his convic-
tion made a full confession of his guilt. He declares that it
was not a premeditated act, but that when on the moors she
stated to him that she was fonder of Prout than of him, and
he then says that upon her telling him this he was seized
with a sudden impulse that he would never allow her to have
any other than himself, and he then cut her throat. He ac-
knowledges the justice of his sentence, and conducts himself
in a very becoming manner. He is to suffer on Monday next.
POLYGAMY.—T. Tyrrell, comedian, was brought
up at the Cork police-office on the charge of bigamy,
when two wives appeared—Ellen Callaghan, since mar-
ried to another man; Maryanne Barrett, actress, whom
he married in Cheltenham ; but a third wife, Sarah
Clayton, since married also, did not appear. Miss
Cowell, an actress to whom he was on the eve of mar-
riage, attended, and the prisoner is to be tried at the
present assizes.
POACHERS' OUTRAGE AT THE MOUTH OF THE
TWEED.—Saturday and Sunday nights are the peculiar sea•
sons for depredations on the fisheries. On Sunday last tlie
bailiff seized no fewer than 13 illicit nets. The bailiff's boat
was found, in consequence, to have been staved in, and via
adrift. It was picked up four miles off at sea. There is no
doubt the act is one of poachers' revenge.
STATUE OF PRINCE ALBERT.—A marble statue of
Prince Albert, executed by the celebrated sculptor, Wolff,
was landed at the St. Katharine's Dock yesterday afternoon,
out of the ship Mary Ridgway, from Leghorn ; and his
Royal Highness's agent having requested the Board of Cus-
toms to permit the case containing the statue to be delivered
to the Prince without being previously opened and examined
by their officers at the docks, it will be forwarded to Windsor
Castle for examination.
