DEATH OF D. E. MORRIS, ESQ., PROPRIE-
TOR OF THE HAY MARKET THEATRE.—This veteran manager
expired at ten o'clock yesterday morning, at his house in
Suffolk-place, Haymarket. Mr. Morris has been in a de-
clining state for many months ; he had a slight attack of pa-
ralysis last week, but rallied. Yesteriay a severe attack;
ended in his dissolution. Mr. Morris was born, about 1770,
of humble parents. Chance threw him in early life in the
way of George Colman the elder; under his patronage Mr.
Morris advanced in fortune, and Colman the younger mar-
rying his (Morris's) sister, introduced him to the theatre.
He obtained a situation in the Admiralty, and husbanding
his resources, became a moneyed man. Nearly forty years
since he purchased a share its the Haymarket rheatre, and
whilst Colman was in the King's Bench, managed that esta-
blishment. On Dibdin declining a share, Messrs. Morris,
Winston, and Colman were joint proprietors, though with
different proportions of profit. Mr. Morris lived to pay off
all his partners, and became sole proprietor. In his Patel
Pry season he realised 14,0001. All our greatest actors and
actresses were at different times under his management, par-
ticulaily Bannister, Munden, Fawcett, Dowton, Charles
Kemble, Mathews, and ..Tone • Charles Young, Terry, Warde,
Rae, Mrs. Humby, and Miss Kelly made their first appearances
in the metropolis under his management. Mr. Morris
paid liberally for the dramas produced at his theatre, and
was a staunch supporter of the legitimate drama. Edmund
Kear, up to the moment of his death, was, at the instance
of Mr. Morris, studying the Hunchback in Sheridan
Knowles's play of that name. Mr. M. has left an only son,
who is a Captain in the let Dragoon Guards. About 16
months since he lost his only daughter, a young lady about 17
years of age. From the shock attendant upon her death he
never whAly recovered. Dr. Munro and Mr. Keats were
untiring in their attendance to the last moment;., but after the

fatal atiaek it was evident that the patient had not sufficient
strength to rally.

Lord and Lady Petre are .expected in Mansfield-
street early next week from Kemp Town for the season. His
Lordship's son, the Hon. Henry William Petre, is on the eve
of again embarking for the colony of New Holland.
The Earl of Durham and the Ladies Lambton are
not expected to return to this country from Italy until the
beginning of May.
The Duke of Manchester will remain over the
srring at his villa near Nice, where his Grace is surrounded
by a family circle. The health of the Noble Puke is not in
verz
_satisfactory state.
MACHINERY AND CORN-LA ws.— ihe land-
lords and monopolists are now lifting lustily to throw as much
of the Corn-law barthen as they can upon machinery. What.
let us ask, have they to say about the vast improvements that
have been made by the invention of thrashing machines, of
corn-dressing machines, corn-drilling machines, &c. ?—Not-
tinglsa»i Review

the Earl and Countess of Erroll, and the LadieA
Agnes and Alice Hay, have arrived on a visit to Lord Frederik
and lady Augusta Fitzclarence, at Etal House, near Cold-
stream, from Slain's Castle, near Aberdeen. - His lordship,
though no longer one of the great officers of state, will retain
his apartments in St. James's l'Alace, opposite the Roal Ger-
man Chapel, which were assigned to him by the late King
William IV.

The Marquis of Hertford took a drive in the park
on Wednetday, in a close carriage, for the first tim• for many
weeks.

A melancholy event occurred a few nights ago at
Cheney (Deux -Sev res). The wife of thepostmasterof the place,
who was sleeping in the same room with her two children, who
were in a cot close to her, was disturbed in the night by the cries

match not being extinguished set Ore to the curtains, which burns
rapidly, and the mother in her fright made vain efforts to save her
children. In a short time the room was on fire, but the mother
still remained ; and, after having rushed through the flames several
times in the hope of extricating her babes, was dragged away hor.
ribly burnt by some persous who came to her assistance. The fire
soon extended itself to the other rooms, and in the morning when
the postmaster, who was absent at the time of the accident, re-
turned, he found his house burnt to the ground, his children
dead, and his wife in a dreadful situation of physical and mental
buffering.

CAPTURE OF A SLAVER.—The brig Ga.
briel, a slaver, was captured when fifteen days from Havannah, by
her Majesty's brig Acorn. She had a crew of 65 :paniards, and
exchanged several shots with the Acorn. Her cargo consisted of
dry goods, lumber, and rice. In one of the bags of rice were found
papers, which stated that there were 28 slave vessels fitting out at
llavannah. The brig's crew were put on board the Acorns which
sailed for the coast of Africa, to land them on a desolate and unin-
habited part of the coast. Seven other vessels previousif
captured
were breaking at St. Helena, and 1,600 slaves were on that island.
