Particular attention to this caution is requested.

The soil of the low ground is excellent, part of it well
adapted for cropping, and the meadow and low pasture
is not inferior to that of Kilmartin. The natural shelter is
equally good, and the upper or hill pasture affords sound
and healthy grazing for both black cattle and sheep, of the
best breeds. Besides the copsewood, (which is mostly all
oak, in the most thriving state, and may be fit for cutting
in three years), there arc several clumps of fir, larch, and
other trees, now fit for useful purposes. The principal
farm-house, (Cruachan, at one time the residence of the
proprietor), is in goal repair, is well situated, and might,
with an addition in front, be made a suitable dwelling for
a proprietor, or for a principal tacksman of the whole
lands. The low grounds are all subdivided by stone dykes
into suitable quarters for grazing and wintering ; and the
boundaries of the bill ground are also inclosed in the same
manner.

The property abounds with various kinds of game, and
has right of fishing in Lochow for the length of three miles.
There is limestone in the lands, and plenty of good mess and
brushwood for fuel. The distance from Inverary is only
twelve miles, and the ferry across the loch is a narrow and
safe one at all times. With a view to the sale, the lands
are not let on permanent leases, but were valued in 1825
at 4741. 17s.
If the Estates are not sold in one lot, they will, at sub-
sequent period, be exposed separately.
For further particulars apply to Messrs. Hunter, Camp-
bell, and Cathcart, W. S., 5, North St. David-street, Edin-
burgh; or to Daniel Mactaggart, writer in Campbelltown.

FALL OF THE BRUNSWICK THEATRE

CORONER'S INQUEST.

Last evening J. UNwts, Esq., the Coro►►er, held
an inquest at the Surgeons'-room, in the London
Hospital, on the bodies of Jane Wall and Moses
Miles, who had been removed to this institution,
after they had been dug out of the ruins.
After the Jury were empanelled, they proceeded
to view the bodies. They presented the most ap-
palling appearance; three surgeons being at the time
in the act of dissecting them, so as to give evidence
as to the exact extent of the injuries. After they
returned to the inquest room, the following was the
evidence adduced for their consideration :

Mr. W. E. Harrison, a pupil of the hospital, stated
the deceased young woman was brought into the
hospital about half-past twelve o'clock at noon on
Thursday. He attended her in the ward, and upon
examination, found the right leg fractured, her head
much cut and lacerated, and several other injuries on
her body. She appeared then in a dying state, but
lingered until Friday, when she died. The deceased
Moses Miles, an old man, was brought in about
half-past twelve o'clock the same day, with both his
legs broken, and several other injuries were percep-
tible on his person. Those injuries before stated
caused death in each instauce.

Mr. L. A. Goldsmith, of the Brunswick Theatre,
about thirty-five minutes past eleven o'clock was
standing on the• right or P.S. of the stage, when
he heard a rush, or something like a carpen-
ter's bench or deals falling behind the scenes, which
he thought was caused by the carpenters :letting
some scenery fall. Soon after he heard a more
dreadful crash, which gave him some alarm; this
was followed by a dreadful cracking or breaking up
of the timbers. On looking up, I saw the roof di-
viding, the chandelier falling, and the materials
forming the roof pouring down with a dreadful crash.
At that instant I did not know which way to turn
for safety, but moving round I jumped into the
stage, or Mr. Carruther's box, and stood against the
back part of it, expecting immediate destruction, and
with the horrid spectacle before my eyes of seeing
my brother performers and fellow-beings, who were
on the stage, buried beneath the mass of ruins. The
roof drove all in before it. 1 waited a minute or two in
awful suspense until all was silent, when I ventured
from the box, and crossing the mingled mass, found
my way into the street. I then discovered that Mr.
Percy Farrell had escaped by taking his station in
the box exactly opposite to that in which I stood.
I then looked about, and saw Mr. Wyman making
his way through the ruins. We shook hands and
congratulated each other upon our deliverance. I
also saw a female, whom I supposed to be one of
the figurantes, on the ruins at the time. I expected
the walls would fall, and thought of nothing but
making my escape. At that instant I saw two
sailors scrambling up to assist the sufferers. I called
to them and begged to know if there was any way
for me to get out. They came up very generously
and took me off the ruins. I know nothing further.

CORONDR—It is material here to know every
thing about the roof. Do you know any thing about
it ? Mr. Goldsmith—No; Sir, nothing of my own
knowledge.
Juror—Did you hear any person on Monday say
any thing about the theatre or root, r Mr. Gold-
smith—Nothing, I assure you, Sir.
Juror—Did you not hear of a settlement having
taken place in the house, and that a great difficulty
was experienced in opening or shutting the doors ?
Mr. Goldsmith—Not a word of the kind. Had I
heard any thing of the sort, my nerves would have
been so affected that it would have been impossible
for me to have performed before that public who 1

In consequence of the directions given to Sur-
geon Fuller, of the Hackney-road, on last Sunday,
by Mr. Ilardwicke and the other attending Magis-
trates of the district, in the presence of Mr. Peel,
brother to the Secretary fur the Home Department,
it was confidently understood at the Hospital that
the following report may be relied upon.
Stephen Spencer, (a bricklayer, and engaged at
the time of the accident in building a due to the
stove in the private box of Mr. Maurice, OTIC of the
proprietors, and who had his shoulders much injured,
and leg broken), is getting better..
- Abbott, a carpenter, who has had one leg
amputated, spent a restless night.
Joseph Blamire, the property man, whose spine :s
fractured, also spent a restless night.
James Hedges (the only stonemason in the house
at the time, and who was engaged in sinking the
holes in the steps for Purdy, the smith, to place the
iron hand railing to the geometrical staircase, aiid
who states that Purdy caused the front door to be
closed for the purpose of keeping out the idle and
curious, who were iu great numbers in the street,
and that he was fourteen feet from the level of the
pit at the time when he saw the stone stairs upon
which he stood separate themselves from the brick-
work, and upon coming down he attributes his
escape to the height lie was standing en the stairs,
having the less number of steps to fall upon him),
has also had a restless night, with great increase of
pain in the head.
George Hoare, Joseph Robarts, Henry Clarke,
- Harris, Mrs. Shaw,. Mrs. Foster, and James
Mitchell, all better.

The workmen continue indefatigable in their
exertions, but no more bodies have been discovered,
and the general opinion is, that the extent of the ca-
lamity, as far as the loss of human life i 3 concerned,
is now ascertained, although rumours (we hope un-
founded ones) of persons missing, are occasionally
circulated. The crowd about the ruins is much di.
minished, and the guard ha 3 been withdrawn.—
Some alarm was excited at an early hour yesterday
morning among the lodgers at the Star public-house,
by the bulging of a beam in the main part of the
building, and the inmates left the house w►th preci-
pitation ; some workmen, however, were, immedi-
ately called in, and shores applied, which have the
effect of securing the premise, for the present. We
arc sorry to find that Mr. Carruthers is still thonght
to be in a very precarious state.

In the 4th Book of the Annals of Tacituil, Clete
is the following passage:—
"In the Consulship of Licinius and Lueiu;
Calpurnius, the casualty of an instant, its beginning
unforeseen, and ended as soon as begun, equalled in
calamity the slaughter and overthrow of mighty
armies. One Attilius had undertaken to erect an
Amphithe4tre at Tideme, there to exhibit a combat
of gladiators. He was of the race of Freedmen, and
as he began it from no exuberance of wealth, nor to
court popularity amongst the inhabitants, but purely
for the meanness of gain, he neither established solid
foundations, nor raised the timber-work with suffi-
cient compactness. Thither thronged from Rome
those of every sex and age, eager for shows, as during
the reign of Tiberius they were debarred from
amusements at home; and the nearer the place, the
greater the crowds. Hence the calamity was the
more dreadful ; for as the Theatre was surcharged
with the multitude, the structure burst, and sinking
violently in, while its extremities rushed
itupetu-
ously out, huge was the press of people, who, intent
upon the Gladiators within, or gathered round the
' walls, were crushed by the deadly ruin, and even
buried under it. And verily, they who in the first
fury of the havoc were smitten with final death,
escaped, as far as in such a doleful disaster they
could escape, the misery of torture. Much more
to
be lamented were those, who, bereft of joints and
pieces of their body, were not yet forsaken of life;
those who could by day with their eyes behold their.
wives and children imprisoned in the saute rums, and
by night could distinguish them by their groans and
several sorrows : one be-
howlings.

future, provided by a decree of the Senate (mark
