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—BRAMBER.-+WR have to re-
cord a melancholy accident that occurred at the turnpike-
gate near the Castle last Sunday evening, between six and
ten o'clock. Mrs. Winton, the wife of the renter of the tolls
and keeper of the gate, went out to open the gate and let a
donkey chaise through, and whilst standing there, and al-
most before the chaise had passed through the gate, she was
knocked with great violence against the gate-post by a a
horse which was drawing a four-wheel chaise, and coming
from the direction of Steyning. The poor woman fell, and
was removed to her house, where she suryived only two
hours, and never spoke during that time. It is supposed
that the collar of the horse came in contact with the poor
woman's chest. After a patient investigation, the jury re-
turned a verdict of " Accidental Death," with a deodand of
ss. against the horse, a hack hired with the chaise of a horse-
master in Brighton, who has had him in work for six years.

POACHERS' OUTRAGE AT THE MOUTH OF THE
Tvrxzn.—Saturday and Sunday nights are the peculiar sea-
sons for depredations on the fisheries. On Sunday last the
bailiff seized no fewer than 13 illicit nets. The bailiff's boat
was found, in consequence, to have been staved in, and sent
adrift. It was picked up four miles off at sea. There is no
doubt the act is one of poachers' revenge.
