ditiously filling up the vacancies.

that the Dean of St. Patrick's will be appointed to the
vacant See of Killaloe, and will be succeeded in the Deanery
by the Hon. and Rev. Mr. PLONKET. Lord PLUNKET

It is not generally known that ALLEN RAM-
SEY'S delightful ballad of " Patie" was originally set to
music by SEBASTIAN BACH, for the mother of HARRY
ANGELO, who, by her son's report in his " Reminiscences."
had a " gentle and sweet voice ;" and that the celebrated
ABEL would often join his friend BACH on the viol de
gamba, in accompanying Mrs. ANGELO in singing this
pleasing ditty, at her house in Carlisle-street.
WANSTEAD PARK.—This finely-wooded
domain is now being divested of some of its finest orna-
ments. Above 1200 of the oldest and most valuable trees
in the park have just been sold by auction, and a part of
the ground let on a building lease. The sale took place at
the Eagle, at Walthamstow, and produced 4,500/..--con-
siderably more than was expected. Previous to the sale,
some discussion arose as to whether the trees would not
be stopped at the Park-gates by the creditors of the owner,
although the purchase-money had been regularly paid ; and
no persons would bid for a lot until a guarantee was ob-
tained that the purchasers would meet with no difficulty
on this head.
The Lead Mining .business in Craven is de-
scribed to us as in a state of extreme depression. The de-
mand is unusually flat, and the workmen's wages are, in
c.nsequence, lower than they have ever been, before dur-
ing the last seventy years.—Leeds Mercury:
S-ArALL-Pox.--We are sorry to find that, not-
withstanding the halspv discovery of Dr. JENNER, this
loathsome complaint is still very prevalent in the town and
neighbourhood of Leeds. Last week, a family of the name
of DOBSON, residing on Coulton Common, had five of their
children ill with the small-pox at the same time ; and on
Thursday last one of them died, leaving another in a very
dangerous state.—Leeds Mercury.
BELL-RINGERS.--Sir SYMONDS D'EWES,
who was lord of the manor of Lavenham, in Suffolk, and
one of the most learned antiquaries of his time, was a hell-
ringer, as was Sir MATTHEW HALE, Lord Chief-Justice
I of the Common Pleas ; Wm. CECIL, High Treasurer of
England, was also a bell-ringer.
MIDDLESEX SESSlONS.—Yesterday were
holden the Sessions of the Peace for Middlesex, at Cler-
kenwell ; and on Thursday the Old Bailey Sessions will
commence. The prisoners for trial at the latter, it is said,
will amount to nearly 400 before the Grand Juries are dis-
charged; which number, taking into account the short period
which has elapsed since the last gaol delivery, namely, five
weeks, far exceeds any precedent. During the past week alone
upwards of 90 persons were committed to Newgate on
charges of felony. A large proportion of capital offences,
it is understood, will be found in the calendar. The Go-
vernor of Newgate makes au annual report of the number
of committals to that prison, with the crimes and the man-
ner in which the convicted have been disposed of. The
following statement will skew the numbers which appear,
by the returns of the four last years, to have been
