An article from Brussels, dated Sept. 10, says,
" According to authentic accounts from Carlsbad,
his Highness Prince BLUCHER is entirely recovered,
and intended shortly to leave that place."
The Theatre, at Leicester, was opened unex-
pectedly by ELLIsTost, last week, at advanced
prices of admission On the rising of the curtain,
some displeasure was manifested, and an 0. P.
row was likely to take place, but, upon ELLISTON'S
coming forward, and stating that be acted upon
the spur of the occasion, had brought his company
fill speed, and trusting. that his whipping up the
prices would not be objected to during time Races,
the audience were satisfied, and the entertainments
~f the evening proceeded without further inter-
ruption.

FASEHONABLE BOWNETS.—A Lady with an im-
meose Leghorn bonnet, who was recently under
examination before the Lord Chief Justice of the
Court of King's Bench, did not speak out, even
after several warnings and admonitions ; at last
his Lordship lost all ptuience, for which he is
particularly distinguished, and burst out, " I must
get the Officers of the Court to remove that pent-
house from your bead that I may hear you."
It may be thought wonderful that the whole
population of this' country could stand on consi-
derably less than a square mile. Allowing six
men to a square yard, the mile would ac-
commodate eighteen millions five hundred and
eighty-five thousand six hundred men ! Taking nine
men, women, and children to the yard, one square
mile would afford room for 27,873,400 human
beings !—(Scotch Paper.)
DUMFRIES, SEPT. 15.—0 n Saturday last, while
a son of Air. Broach, farmer in Riggfoot, was at-
tempting to drive away an ass that had escaped from
a neighbouring park into one of his father's potatoe
fields, the furious animal turned upon the asto-
nished boy, knocked him down, and while in that
situation repeatedly kicked him on the head,
and wherwise bruised his body in a shocking
manner. The poor boy having at last extri-
cated himself from the ass, was attempting to
climb an adjoining fence, when the animal, af-
ter a most unearthly yell, renewed the attack,
and would soon have killed the boy, had
it not been for the timely interference of some
of the servants belonging to the adjoining farm.

RoaaetuEs IN SurtaEY.—The gang of thieves
by which this county is unhappily infested appears
to have commenced their nocturnal depredations
upon an extensive line of operation. Thirteen
burglaries were committed at the beginning of
the last week in Newington anol Lambeth. On
Sunday night, the house of Mr.W. Hall, lonian's-
buildings, New Kent-road, was burglarionsly
entered, and plundered of a large quantity of
wearing apparel, and a pocket-book containing
twenty pounds in Bank-notes. The Blue An-
chor public-house, Bermondsey, was twice at-
tempted to be broken open on Sunday night ;
but the robbers were disturbed through the vigi•
lance of Mr. Cooper, the landlord. An attempt
was also tnade upon the house of Mr. Woodcock,
East-lane, Walworth, which was frustrated by
the approach.of a watchman, who observed two
men run off. Three houses were broken open in
other parts of. Walworth on the same night.
The Defiance coach was overturned near Leeds
on Thursday night, owing, it is said, to the in-
toxication of the coachman ; there were 16 pas-
sengers ; one, an elderly woman, .had her leg
broken, others.severe contusions ; the coachman
also broke the small bone of his leg.
On Sunday raiiirning, during the absence of the
family at Divine Service, the house of Mr. Furze,
in Mary-le-bone-street, was entered by picking
the lock of the street-door, and the parlour was
stripped of all the light moveables, linen, &c.
