GENERAL I3ARTON'S CHARGER.

SERIOUS AqclPUNT.—Yestertlayafteranon about
half-past four o'clook, a most melancholy and ex-
traordinary occurrence took place; joist without
side the gate leading into and out of Hyde Palk.
Oenerfil .13,1/4aToN, of the 2d regimen, of Life
Guards, seated on his remarkably tall bay charger,
was talking to a Gentleman who was on foot,
when Captain of the 57th font, happening
to be coining on horseback from'Hyde Park into
town, just as itexanre through the gate, the Ge.
nerd's horse, (wrth all the infuriated savageness
of the Lioness that some time since so suddenly
pounced upon the leader of the Exeter Mail,) ran
furiously at the
,Gaptain,.stized hold of the inside
of his thigh with his tremendous teeth, reared
‘Themently up, and tore away a large
,piece of the
thigh, small clothes, drawers and all, and dragged
the Captain from his horse. In the act of so sud-
den and vehement a rearing on end, the animal.
lost his poise, 'and,fell backwards Ott his master,
the General, by which he was unhorsed ; bite' ive
are happy to ,understand, did not appear to have
received serious injury. Captain BRAY was im-
mediately pat into a , hackney-coach, several of
which were luckily on the stand, and conveyed
to his abode, bleeding very freely. The mischitt
was so instantaneons, that our informant, who
was au eye-witness of it, assures us it was like
only to the transition of, thought,, the. sudden
lightning, the melting vapour, or the winged ar-
row,; in shortie could hardly believe that he had
not dreamt it.

EARTHQUAKE AT ST. HELENA.

PonTsMouru, Nov. I6.—Arrived yesterday the
Sisters transport kom the Cape, from whence she
sailed the 22d Sept. She states, that a severe
shock of an earthquake was felt at St. Helena
on the 21st Sept. which ;huok down two houses,'
and did much datuage. It happened about 10
o'clock at night. She also states, that BOON A'
E attempted to escape out of his house, but
Was stopped by the Celltif!ell.
[ANOTiIEtt ACCOUNT.]

PORTSMOUTH, Nov. Is.—This day arrived the
Two Sisters, transpt.rt, with detachments
the Cape of Good -hope, last from St. ifelena,
which she left on the 23d October. On the ?As:
of October, almt half-past ten at night, several
severe shocks of an earthquake were felt at
Helena, which Listed nearly two minutes.
agitation caused by the tremulous motion of the
'earth was so great that articles which were placed
upon the shelves in the. honses were thrown
down. The be tsts and birdS were also sensibly
affected by the phenomenon, and sheaved evident
symptoms of terror at the event. A large dinner
Tarty, who were at the Governor's, were so much
alarmed that they left the house with the inmost
precipitation. The shock was also seriously felt at
Longrood, the residence of 1311oNAPARTF., 4,,h0,
consequence, attempted to leave his house, but
was prevented by the sentinels on ditty. The agi-
tation was sensibly expetienced on,lniard die Con-
queror, the flag-ship of Admiral PLAmPi az, then
lying in the bay. The bells of the chore!) on the
island were so much disturbed as to occasion their
sound to be distinctly heard 'at a cotiSiderable
distance.

We received yesterday the Paris Papers of
Thtn day last, and this inor4ing those of Friday.
We give extracts from the former in another
column, they chiefly relate to the proceedings of
the Chamber of Deputies, in which the parties
seem to be so equally balanced, that it is ..ery dif-
ficult to obtain, for any purpose for which it is
wanted, an absolute majority. The same obstacles
which attended the choice of Candidates for do
esidency presented themselves in the election of
Vice-Presidents and Secretaries, and several
have thus been constmied (the dinner•diour being
invariably the signal for adj:)trning) withonc a
particle of public business being entered upon.
The following are Extracts from the Journal.-,
of Friday. The Moniteur conta'ns a loyal Or-
donnance appointing M. de SERRE, President of tit
Chamber of Deputies, and another, reducing I lie

BIBLE ASSOCIATIONS.

St. Clement Danes, St. 'Mary-le-Strand, and the
Savoy Bible Lissociation, and Ladies' St Clement
Danes Bible .dssociation. , •

The General Anniversary Meeting Of this ASSO•
elation, which was to have taken place on the
13th inst..but postponed in consequence of the
lamented death of tier Royal Highness the Prin-
cess Charlotte, took place last evening ;
The Rev. W. GURNEY, M. A. President, in
the Chair.

The Rev. President rose to state the object of
the Meeting, which lie briefly said had connected
within the welfare of the soul as -Well as the
bodies of mew—and he had pleasure iri address-
ing them, for he considered they were as a
little family on earth, met together to see what
good could be done, through the. Bible Asso-
ciation, for the souls of their' fellow-crea-
tures--,and.he was' site the minds of his au-
dience would he properly kmpressed, while he
viewed in so large an assembly, not only external
mourning—for he was sure that was not' all—but
in every countenance, in all companies was to be
traced that sympathetic feeling, which recent cir-
cunistances were so .calculated to inspire. But
amidst all our afflictions, under every sorrow, there
was in the Bible all that was calculated to do us
good in time, and\make us happy in an eternal
world.

The Report was then read by Mr. Yonte, .the
Secretary, and secondekl by the Rev. Dr. Winter,
which stated that 1481. ss. 61-d. had been received,
and applied to the objects of the AttsOciation.
The Rev. Dr. COLLYER proposed a vote of
thanks to the Rev. Wm. Gurney, M.A. President,
which was carrieil unanimously.
'The Hon. Lady Wilson, Patroness, and Mrs.
Gurney, President of the Ladies' Association, the
Rev. Wm. Morgan, the Re*. Dr. Steinktipfl, and
the Rev. Mr. Innis, who is just Teturned from
witnessing the effects of Bible Associations in
-Raisia, spoke on the occasion--at the close of
which-a collection was made.

THE' THEATRE.—The Comic Opera of The
Duenna was represented last night at Drnry-Lane
Theatre, and Miss By RN2, for the first time, per-
formed the part of Clara. We have before ob-
served that this young Lady improves in acting as
well as singing, and her performance last night by
no means tended to alter • our opinion. Her
" Adieu thou dreary Pile," a song that demands
great executive power, was given with so much
success as to.draw forth an unanimous- eneore.-'h
is, perhaps, somewhat impolitic in the Managers
to bring forward this Opera, as its dramatic merits_
throw all modern .pieces of the same kind into
comparative insignificance, onless,indeed, to bold
forth an example to the present race of Play-
wrights of force and variety of characters, brik
liancy and humour in dialogue; and lyric merits
of no ordinary description;

ROYAL ACADRMY.-Mr. CARLISLR fast night de-
livered his second Lecture at the Royal Academy,
on the. principles of Anatomy, as applicable to
Painting. The Learned Professor explained from
the skeleton the nature and Die of the several parts
of the human frame which it is necessary for the
Student in Art to understand in his professional
studics.

SPORTI NG,.

Newmarket Coursing Meeting is this year un-
usually througed nit() company: on Monday it
was computed that no less _ than eight hundred
horsemen were in the field, together with near-
ly the like number of pedestrians and persons
in carriages ; indeed, when it be considered
that the situation for the diversion of coursing
is as fine as any in England, together with the
asStmblage and exertions-of the fleetest and most
choice greyhounds in the kingdom, it could not
fail the altractiOn and .admiration it possessed.
The hares were numerous in Chevely Field, and
the sport altogether afforded uncommon gratifica-
tion and delight..

. -
At Swaff ham Coursing 'Meeting on the 14th
instant, after four days' sport, (during which be-
tween 90 :end 100 matches were run) the cup was
won' by Nr. NVodehouse's Hebe, beating Lord
Rivers's Rawbones,-,On the two fiat days Sir C.
Kent's blue b.- Unique was the successful candi-
date fo( the cup, but was beaten on the 3d day by
Hebe.

We understand that the first act of Captain
WHITE, of the 4th Dragoon Guards, after his
Sword was restored to him, was to prefer again his
original complaint respecting the. Overcharge fur
Necessaries in his Regiment, which bad been in-
terrupted by the charge against him. 'That the
Military Authorities of this Country did not think
it for the good of the'service to grant this inves-
tigation—that on the perseverance of Captain
Wnrrs, his complaint was transmitted to the
Duke of YORK, and that his Royal highness has
considered it a fit subject for investigation ; in
consequence of which a Court-Martial on the sub-
ject is expected to be ordered

THE LATE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE.

His Lordship, upOn taking his seat, addressed
the Court as usual, after which, Mr. SAMUEL
DIXON and Mr. 3AiIES DAVIES made some obier-•
vations upon the recent melancholy occurrence of
the decease of her Royal Highness the Princess
CHARLOTTE AUGUSTA; and being. severally desir-
ous to submit some Mode of proceeding thereon,
The Minutes of the last 'Court were then read,
and the LORD MAYOR called upon' Mr. Dixon, 'as
beir4: the hist who addreSsed the Court upon the
-occasion. He, after some preliminary observa-
tions expressive of the deepest regret at the univer-
sally lamented event, moved a Resolution for
Cnnimittee to be appointed, consisting of all the
Aldermen present and a Commoner from each
Ward, to consider of the most proper mode to be
adopted by the Court. . .
He was followed by Mr. DAVIBI, who, after
_paying many complirnews to the deceased, WhoSe
domestic -habits made her a pattern for her sex,
concluded- a speech of considerable length, by sikb-
witting as an Amendment, several Resolutions
. .

which he had prepared, and which, if agreed to,
.he.prnpused for the Lord Mayor, in the most re-
spectful manner, to transmit copies to the Prince
Rege-rir, tlre Queen, and Priuce Leopold.
Mr. AVAITItst AN then addressed the Court against
the proposed amendment, and.read the draft of a
Resolution which l►e had prepared for the consi-
deration of the Court .upon so lamentable an
event.

- Mr. Deputy JACKS, UV. FAVELL, and several

persons born blind, being restored to sig: t by the
means of a surgical Operation :—A nati ye of Bard..

family to, Dr. LUXMORK, whose success in the

and in six (lays be began to see and diitingUish
objeas. Atter the celebrated case of Dr. Ches.
sehleies patients, whose sensations have beers
so' minutely and, philosophically laid before the
public, it can hardly be expected that any disco-
very regarding the origin of our ideas of figure,
distance, or quantity, could be extracted from the
observation of an ignorant country boy, who,
unaccustomed to think abstractedly, is lade able
to describe the gradual improvement of his in..
reflect, under this sudden and astouishiog intro-
(faction to the visible world. lie contirme.l, hew-
ever, with readiness the conclusion so obvious,
from the feelings of Dt. Chesqelden's patient, that

r common judgment of Joie, quantity, and

distance, is not an inherent faculty in the, mind-,
hut a practical result, from the ever-repeated ex-,
pertinent of comparing the perspective with the
actual figure, bulk, or distance. For a cricket-ball
was put in one hand, and,a cube of soap in tbq.
other, and he was desired to describe their shape;
he was tillable to dint by his newly, acquired and in.
experienced vision, and was obliged to have.con-
ittra recourse to the more practised sense of feel-
When any object fa presented to shim, al.
though ht can without hesitation declare its co-
lour, he is wholly unable to decide on its quality,
until he is allowed to handle it, The Right Hon.:
the tiovernor-Cieueial having heard of the case,
took so much interest in it, that he requested,:
Dr. Luxmore to bring the patient for his inspec- ,
tion. lie eras accordingly brought before his
