We learn by a letter from Naples Bay, tinted
Dee. 19, that the Right Ron. STRATrORD CAWNIWG, his
Majesty's Ambassador to the Porte, had Railed for Constan-
tinople, in the Revenge, 7EI, Sir C. I3ultilakl), bearing the flag
of Sir IlankY NAGLE, Bart. (3.C.13., and that the Thetis, 4S,

A REMARKABLE DAT.—YeSterdny was the
anniversary of the death of Sir Philip Warwick, 1682 t and of
woollen goods being first exported from Ireland to a foreign
market, 1780. Thi day is the anniversary of several Mem-
hers, dissatisfied with the measures of Parliament, quitting the
House of Commons, and declaring their resolution not to at-
tend in future, for which they were afterwards indicted in 0-
Court of • King's Bench, tval fined, 1554 ; of a great tempese
which did considerable damage at Leicester, 1563 ; the celet
brated imposition of the Bottle Conjurer on the credulity of
the public, 1748 ; and the battle of Crunna, 1809.
DisPATclt —Married on the 27th ult. at Md.
ton by the Sands, near Lancaster, by the Rev. Bryan Waller,
Vicar of Burton-in-Kendal, 31r. Isaac Gasitill, of Bolton,
bone.sotter, to 31iss Taylor, daughter of the Rev. Jas. Taylor,
formerly Curate of that parish. The bridegroom has had three
living and two dead wives within the short space of thirty-three
weeks, and the present wife is sister to the second ; and what
is very remarkable, not a single marriage is registered in that
parish between the marriages of the two sisters. It is fully un-
Jeratood that the marriage now announced should have been
solemnised a fortnight sooner, but one of the surrogates of
this district declined to grant the necessary license.—( West-
morland Chroni:k.)
BitAttalt and Miss PATON are to he thp hero
and heroine of lirgnett's new opera, at Covent.
garden TheatrP. This popular composer i•
shortly expected in London, and will himself
superintend and prepare hi, opera for representa-
tion.

PEAke's flew drama, intended for the Adelphi
Theatre, is, in consequence of the great success
of the pieces now performing at that Ectablish-
mF•nt, deferred until nest heason. As the story
on which this Melo-drama is founded is not of a
temporary nature, it will sustain no injury by the
delay: The Adelphi Theatre will close its pre-
present season at Easter.

Sir LUMLLY SKCYPINGTON, who KRA In his day
the " Glass of fashion" in this metropolis,
going to publish his• Memoirs. We remember n
very entertaining sketch of his Life, which was
printed many years back, in a popular periodical
work called The Monthly Mirror, and which was
reported to have been written by Sir Lumley
himself.

General 117tr.Aaonaw1rrtt, Who Wail killed iv
the tumult at St. Petersburgh, gained a great
name by his Brilliant valour and his enterprising
character. During the Russian campaign of

King of Naples, Joachim Murat, fur his heroic
vn lour.— (Paris Paper.)

LORD THUD LOW AND THE Dims:Tens.----The
Dissenters waited upon Lord Thurlow by appoint-
ment, to request his vote for the repeal of the Test
Act. After he had heard their sentiments in
a long harangue, with more than his ordinary
patience, " 1% ben the speech was concluded, he
thus nddressed them :—" Gentlemen, you have
reqnested me to vote for the repeal of the Test
Act. 1 shall not vote for it. 1 do not care
whether your religion or mine has the ascen-
dancy, or whether city religion or DOD, j but as I
know when you were uppermost you kept us down,
so now that we are oppermont, we will, by the
help of God, keep you where you are."—Mar-
(ravine of Anspach's Memoirs.

ANECDOTE DP SHERI DAN.—(Prom the Me-
moirs of the Morgratine Repach.—ln the
midst of his distress, he had one day invited a
party of friends to dine with him, amongst
whom were n few Noblemen of the Opposi-
tion party ; hut upon examining his cellar, a
terrible deficiency was found. He was largely
in debt to Chalier the great wine-merchant, and
for two years had been unable to obtain from
him any further credit. He put his imagination
to work, and tried the following expedient. He
sent for Outlier on the day of the dinnerin question,
and told him that luckily he was just in cash, and
had desired to settle his account. Chillier was couch
pleased; but told him, as he had it not about him,
he would return home and bring it with him. He
was about to leave the room, w hen, as if upon a
sudden recollection, Sheridan said, " Oh, Chalier,
by the bye, you must stop and dine with me to-
day ; I have a party to whom I will introduce
you—some leading Members of both Houses."
Chalier, who was fond of good company, and also
hoped to meet with a recommendation, was obliged
to Sheridan for the offer, and promised to be
with him at the hour a dinner. Upon his return
home, he informed the clerk of his cellars that
be was going to dine with Mr. Sheridan and pro.
bably should not be at home till it was late.—
Sheridan had fixed the hour of six to Chillier,
but desired him to come before that time, as he
had much to say to him in private. At about five
o'clock, Chalier came to his appointment, and he
was no sonner in the house, than Sheridan sent off
n servant with a note to the clerk, desiring him as
Mr. Chillier was favouring hint with his company,to
send as soon as possible three dozen of Burgundy,
two dozen of claret, and two dozen of port, with
a dozen of old hock. he clerk, knowing his
muster was at Sheridan's, and thinking that, the
order came 'with his concurrence, immediately
obeyed it. After dinner, every body praised the
fine qualities of Sheridan's wines, and all wore
desirous of knowing who was his wine mer-
chant. Sheridan, turning towards Chalier, said,
I—l am indebted to my friend here for all the
I wine you have tasted, and am always proud to
recommend him.' Neat morning Chalier dis-
covered the trick; but I never heard whether he
admired the adroitness of his customer.

SINGULAR SIIOW,--Among the shows of the
French capital is one which, on the whole, beats
our " living skeleton ;" for it confists of the
female Esquimaux (lately exhibited in London),
accompanied by the corpse of her male companion
or husband (who died at Strasburgo, and whose
body, says the Paris journals, is preserved in so
clever a manner as to look as well as if living.
The lady dances but the gentleman dote not.

LIFE Lou nr Darknrut, Evityr
happened on 'Monday. Mrs. Brute, an ageti lady,
who resided in Carleton, Sherburne (and widow
of the•late Mr. Robt. Brine, of Temple Coombe),
was accidentally burnt to death, in consequence
of a spark of fire alighting upon her dress, whilst
sittiolk in her parlour. On discovering her pe-
rilous situation the' decried rang her hell, in
hopes that the servant maid would have come to
her assistance; but not hastening, she again rung
violently, and was proceeding from her room,
when she was met by the woman. - The maid at-
tempted in vain to extingnish the fire, and was
very much burnt in her endea 'roars ; she then
flew affrighted into the street for help,
which instantly brought several of the neigh.
hours to the scene, where they beheld the suffering
lady standing in the passage, exposed
.to the
draughts of the door, with her arms extended,
completely enveloped in.flatnes. In the absence
of any other expedient, one man proceeded to
empty a bucket of water over the awful spectacle
w bleb stood before hint ; but the fatal work had
proceeded too far ; her numerous vestments were
now reduced to ashes, and even her parched flesh
parted from the bones on being handled. The
best medical assistance wns administered without
delay, hut to no avail. The event happened be-
tween nine and ten in the morning, and by four
in the afternoon the unfortunate lady hod
breathed her last.—(Sherbortie Mercury.)
SUFFOCATION BY CUARCOAL.-On Thursday
morning lust, when the family of the Command.
ing Royal Engineer of this district (Col. Gossett,
M.P.), arose to resume the duties of the day, the
footman (James Poore), a very industrious and
useful young man, was found dead in his bed ;
the cause of which unlooked-for event was as fol.
lows slept in an apartment on the ground-
' floor, and as the %vomiter was extremely cold he
was induced to kindle some clot rcoa I,for thepurpose
of warming his Isom ; immediately afterwards be
closed the door, got into bed, and fell asleep; and
not having admitted any freshair into the room, t he
carbonic acid gas, contained in the horning char-
coal, destroyed that portion of the atmospheric air
Which is necessary to support animal life, and he
was suffocated by the noxious vapour with which
tha room was alone liilcil. A chaffog dish was
found outside of the door, with charcoal in it, re-
cently burnt, and a quantity of unborntchareoal
was discovered under his bed. '
