POOR BARNARD, THE COMEDIAN.-4. night Or
two ago this once favourite comedian of the Drury-lane establish-
ment leas sitting, with scarcely a rag to cover him, at the Harp,
in Russell-street, when some person present, observing him faint
and hungry, gave him some boiled beef, of which be ate so rave-
nously, that he was suddenly seized with a stupor. The waiter
spoke to him, but he could make no answer; his legs had (leveed
to do their office, and he was carried home to his lodgings, No. 10,
Russell-court. A gentleman, named Hill, connected with the
profession, waited on Mr. Dowton, and explained poor Barnar4's
situation, and Mr. Hughes, of Drury-lane Theatre, visited hirn
directly, and humanely ordered him to be taken the greatest cafe
of. Mr. Coles, surgeon, has also been instrue,ted to attend the
poor fellow, who inevitably cannot survive long.

her female child, about three years old, in the care of a nigh
dweller, named Craruner, with full confidence that it would have '
the necessary protection. This careless woman, it apvs, left
the infant in such a situation as to enabltit to approach the "

little innocent was reduced comparatively to a cinder, wad

ved only a ftw Chrimick. _
