On Easter Monday his Majesty's Stag Hounds . meet at
Farnham Common, which is expected to be a very grand day
to the true lovers of hunting. The deer selected is of known
celerity, and the surrounding country affords every opportunity
for the skill of horsemanship, being newly inclosed, but will
doubtless try the courage of the holiday sportsnien.

The Burmese war has attracted the notice of
the play-wrights. Mr. DAVIDGE has already pro.
duced a spectacle on the subject, and Astley's
are about to try the town with a second edition.
ft is a pity they could not livid a subject more in•
teresting, and on which the public had better
information.

Monsieur GOUFFE, the Surrey Monkey, and
M. CALLoTT, the late Stage Manager, are en-
gaged at the Dublin Theatre for one month :
they are to receive 100 guineas for the excursion.
After which Mr. G. returns to fulfil his engage-
ment at the Theatre Royal, Harmarket.
Mrs. BLAND, it is said, is fast recovering from
the melancholy aberration of wind she has been
unhappily labouring under for some years, and it
is supposed she will again delight an audience
with her pleasing warbling of the old English
ballads. Those who have recently heard her
sing say that her voice retains all its wonted
charms.

LOVE AND MADNESL—OD Tuesday last, about
half-past two o'clock, a young man, about 20
years of age, named Hot.stcs, a cabinet-maker,
residing at Mrs. Smith's, No. 15, Ogle Mews, re-
turned home to take his dinner, when he appeared
cheerful, and sat down and ate a very hearty
dinner. After he had done, he sat musing at the
fire-side, and occasionally was observed by Mrs.
Smith to heave deep sighs. Mrs. Smith absented
herself for a short period to transact some busi-
ness, when on her return she missed him, but she
had not been lung in the parlour when she
heard something like the report of fire-arms,
hut she paid little attention to the circumstance,'
until her daughter, who resides in the same house,
observed upon the strange sound, and on going
to the door of Holmes's apartment they could not''
open it ; they at length succeeded, when they
beheld the unfortunate young man lying behind
it, weltering hi his blood, and a pistol, with which
he committed the act, was lying by his side. It ap-
peared, that he placed the muzzle in his mouth,
whi ch, together with his head, was dreadfully shat.
tered. A surgeon was sent for, but life was totally
extinct. The deceased, it appears, had only
been in London a short time, having kit his
friends ut Sidmoutli, in Devonshire, who are
highly respectable, to come to the metropolis to
set up in business. Prior to his departure, it ap-
pears, he had formed an unfortunate attachment'
to a young lady, to whom he paid his addresses
and was by her encouraged, so that he anticipated
making her his wife. She, however, formed an ac-
quaintance with another young DM, with whom
Holmes saw her walking artn-in-arm,which so creat-
ed his jealousy, that lie purchased a pair of pistols,
and challenged his rival to fight a duel. The
challenge was not accepted, and, in a state of
despair he left his native place, where he could
Ha longer live happy, and proceeded to London.
lit, was frequently heard to mention her name,
and the disappointment, it is conjectured, led
to the horrid determination of ridding himself of
existence. A Coroner's Inquest sat on the body,
`and returned a verdict—" That the deceased
committed the act himself, while in a state of
temporary derangement."
