find, amid the general grief of tlis Country, that
the uotim. lv loss of this excellent Plincess is
deeply itoetted in ochrrs. The fine PORTRAIT
MEDAL of her Royal Highness, struck for Mt.
norm, has been eagerly coveted in Paris ; and,
to the honour of rberal feelings of French
Ariists, who are celebrated for works of this de-
scription, has been pronounced by them an ad-
mirable specimen of British Genius and Taste.

tropolis, and not Dr. HooPER, as reported, is the
Gentleman, it scents, who has been induced to
resign his profession in g. neral, upon a mat:nifi-
ceut establishment as Medical Attendant in the
house of Mr. COLITTS.
Mrs. 13IANCIII LACY, and Mr. LACY, are dis-

a Concert for the benefit of a Widow with Seven
Orphan Children.—Mr. YANIEWICZ is entitled to
the same Vraise,'on the saute occasion.
A number of the destitute seamen, after being
comfortably clothed by the Committee at the
King's Head, Poultry, have been sent on board out-
ward-bound vessels. Twelve of them went on board
an Indiaman a day or two ago. On relating the
distressed condition front which they had been re-
lieved, the whole of the Officers and crew in-
stantly made a collection to be forwarded to the
Committee.

COURAGEOUS FENIALE.—On Sunday morning,
ahout one o'clock, as the housekeeper of Chitties
Ellis, Esq. brewer, of Stockwell, was sitting up
fur her master, whom she was expecting to arrive
from London, she heard the-footsteps of some one
on the stairs leading to the cham,ter vt here she
was sitting. Shortly afterwards a person outside
attempted to force open the door, but the effort
was ineffectual, in consequence of i's being fast-
ened inside. The housekeeper seized a loaded
pistol which was hanging over tilt InAntlepieCe,
and called out, " Who's !bete ?" No answer
being made, she said, " If you'don't answer, Fit
shoot you." She then opened the door, and saw
a Mall running very last along the passage ; she
presented the pistol at him and pulled the trigger,
when it flashed in the pan. The thief continued
his flight, and the courageous servant persiverrd
in the pursuit. He made •his way down a long
flight of stairs, and throogh the front door, told
at las.t succeeded in escaping by his superior swift-
ness. It was afterwards discovered that he effected
his entrance into the house by climbing, up the
viranda, and from thence getting through the
drawing-room window.—On the same morning
the house of-Mr. Cooper, at Dulwich, was broke
open the family were alarMed, and the'cobbers
Effected 601 escape without obtaining any booty.
