BRISTOL, SEPT. 20.--Miss FOOTE, after
having played with her accustomed success during the
last three weeks at Ramsgate, Margate, and Tunbridge
Wells, has been levying severe contributions on the good
folks of this town. She ,is to finish her engagement
here to-morrow, with her benefit ; and judging from the
great houses which her commanding talent has attracted
during the last week (and which is even less questio.iable),
the appearance of the box-book, she will have good reason
to speak favourably of the theatrical tact that has been ex-
hibited in her favour at Bristol. She has two or three
minor engagements to fulfil in Yorkshire, in her way to
Edinburgh, where she is to appear on the Gth of October.
fler engagement there is for twelve nights, and she may
well be proud of her success (it being considered always
as the seat of profound knowledge), that during the last
three years she has, on every engagement, eclipsed even
the laurels of the most favoured of her contemporaries.

One of our young noblemen, whose fortune
is as princely as his expenditue is lavish, arrived a few
weeks ago at Dieppe, and took up his abode at the hotel of
a well-known Englishman, long established there. His
Lordship was not accompanied by a single friend, but he
gaVe directions te the innkeeper to give refreshment to some
of the men btionging to his yacht, should they come on
shore. The first day his Lordship dined with Lord
; the second day, with another friend ; the
third day he returned their civility at his own table. On
the fourth morning he called for his bill, and looking at
the amount, read 130 Louis d'or. His Lordship's friends
advised him to resist the payment. He observed to his
host, " I am not much in the habit of canvassing my bills,
but of all the extortionate charges ever brought to me,
yours is the most flagrant ; however, take off one-fourth,
and I will pay the remainder without complaint." "
Lord, I should do an injustice to my wife and family were
Ito take off a sixpence." " Well, you are the most un-
scionable rascal- but here, take the cheque." Which
the obsequious impostor did do, muttering, " I hope your
Lordship does not really think I am the most unconscionable
rascal." - .

BROADSTAIRS, SEPT. 17.—The visiters and
fashionables of this retired and fashionable little town were
yesterday thrown into the greatest consternation by a tragic
accident which befel Mr. Jos. Roaras, Esq., of No. 3,
Lincoln's-inn, New-square. The unfortunate gentleman
was making a short stay at Margate, and a friend of his
left him in charge of his.phaeton during a temporary ab-
sence; and the day being particularly inviting, ha %vas in-
duced to substitute the phaeton in preference to his own
close carriage in an excursion to this place. He incau-
tiously placed one of his chariot horses in the vehicle,
which, being built for a much smaller animal, galled the
poor •
beau in a dreadful manner, and on descending Broad-
stairs-hill, stairs-hill, the pressure of the
shafts against his sides caused
him to become restive, when Mr. ROGERS wished to trans-
fer the reins into the hands of his coachman, who was seated
in the hind dickey. Unfortunately in the attempt the reins
snapped, and the infuriated animal, finding his head at liberty,
dashed forward with frightful velocity, until his career
was impeded by the projecting wall.in front of the house at
the corner of Albion-street. The concussion it occasioned
dashed the carriage to pieces, and threw the unfortunate
gentleman into the area of the house, which caused so se-
vere a fracture of the skull as to occasion death instanta-
neously ; his lady, who accompanied him, was cast in an
opposite direction ; her thigh was shockingly fractured,
and she still remains in a very precarious state. , The Jury
returned a verdict of " Accidental death ;" but to mark
their sense of the impropriety of trusting an animal, where
a doubt existed of his having previously been unruly, in a
carriage only calculated for a very sedate and quiet animal,
levied a deodagd of 71. I as. on the horsAyand 10s. on the
carriage.
