express, and he would receive it yesterday afternoon.
Morning Paper.

We are happy to find that the subscriptions for
the monument of the late Mr. CANNING amount to nearly
ten thousand pounds ; and there is not the slightest doubt
that a sum every way sufficient for the erection of a monu-
ment, not unworthy of the high fame and splendid attain-
ments of that illustrious individual, will be obtained. It
is, of course, unnecessary to suggest any plans for carrying
it into execution until the public meeting, which may be
soon expected, has taken place, when a permanent Com-
mittee, with full powers, will be appointed.

BLACKHEATIL-The Third Ball for this
season took place at the Greer. Man Hotel, on Monday
last. Notwithstanding the evening was so very unfavour-
able, between three and four hundred persons were present,
and the spacious Assembly Room presented a brilliant dis-
play of beauty and fashion. The whole went off with the
usual eclat, and which the admirable system upon which
the Balls are conducted cannot fail to ensure.

We understand that among the ten regiments
of Yeomanry Cavalry which are to be kept up to their full
establishment, are the Warwickshire, commanded by Col.
the Earl of AYLESIORD, and the Staffordshire, under the
command of the Hon. Colonel MONCKTON.—Birmingham
Gazette.

I DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—An accident,
' which might have proved very serious in its consequences,
happened at this theatre during the performance of the
pantomime on Monday night In the ninth scene, a `eat
by Harlequin and the Clown was being exhibited.--that of
Harlequin attached by his hands to the neck of the Clown,
and being forcibly swung round by the latter,—the Clown,
at every turn, approaching nearer the stage lamps, and
growing unable to restrain the whirling motion, Harlequin
lost his hold, and was Rung violently into the orchestra,
from which he was immediately carried out. Though evi..
dently much hurt, he made his appearance afterwards in the
scene, but was unable to finish the business, or to make the
slightest exertion.

So great was Lord CoLLlNGwoop's economy
of the public money, that the whole of h;i demand for ex-
traordinary disbursements during the five years in which
he held the command in the Mediterranean, amounted only
to 54/., in which were included the expense of a mission
to Morocco, the postage of letters, &c.

Some fellows are travelling in this county en-
deavouring to circulate bass sovereigns.—Exeter Alfred.
Upwards of sixty yards of a five foot wall, on
the lands of Tullyleague, in the county Roscommon, be-
longing to Captain Cox, of Carrick-on-Shannon, has been

quence of his name having appeared as one of those who got
up the prosecution against the Rev. Tiioaus AlActium
