The canvass for the Selkirk district of Burghs
appears already to have commenced with great activity.__
On Tuesday list, W. D. GmLox, Esq. of Wallhouse, en-
tertained the Magistrates and Town Council of Selkirk
and a numerous party of friends at dinner, when he an-
nounced his intention of becoming a candidate for the re-
presentation of the Burgh, in the event of a vacancy or a
dissolution of Parliament. He stated his resolution,
however, to ask no pledges of support at present, but
merely requested the Members of Council to keep them-
selves unfettered. This annunciation was extremely well
received; and the freedom of the Burgh was conferred on
Mr. GILLON.

We are indebted to a friend who is intimately
acquainted with the family, for some interesting particu-
lars relative to Miss FANNY KIMBLE. It is, we are as-
sured, a positive fact that six weeks previously to her pub-
lic appearance she had no idea of performing on the
stage; and so little was she prepared for the particular
part chosen for her debut, that it was at first her wish to
appear in Portia. She had indeed only two rehearsals
of the part. At an early age M►ss KEMBLE evinced a
predeliction for the stage, but this was sedulously repressed
by her parents; and it was during the absence of Mr. C.
KEMBLE in Ireland that she first acquainted lice mother
with the revival of her wishes. The principal motive
which actuated her to form this resolution was (in her
own words) a desire to aid the five hundred individuals
who depended on the theatre for subsistence ; and then
(she added) other feelings unquestionably prevailed. Mr.
FAwcrrT was requested to hear her read; but the idea
was ultimately postponed until the return of her father to
town ; when, in consequence of the harrassing proceed-
ings which are known to the public, a further delay took
place, so that the interval which occurred between the
adoption and execution of her final resolve, was of neces-
sity exceedingly brief. Miss KEMBLE'S next character,
as our readers are aware, is to be Belvidera, and we have
the authority of an experienced theatrical judge who has
seen her rehearse the part, for saying that it will be the
finest effort of female genius ever beheld upon the stage.
We are also informed from another quarter that the tra-
gedy which Miss KEMBLE has composed, proves the pos-
session of very superior talent as an author.—Brighton
Gazette.

LANCASTER COURT OF ELECTION.—After
the general accounts of the Corporation had been real, the
Court proceeded to the election of Mayor for the ensuing
year, when JOHN BoNn, Esq. was declared duly elected
(being the second time); the announcement of which was
greeted with loud and continued cheering. Mr. JOHN
BROCKBANK was then elected Bailiff of the brethren,
amidst the acclamations of the Court; and Mr. WILLIAM
HALL, Bailiff of the Commons.

On Monday two Roman Catholic gentlemen,
the Hon. CHARLES LANGDALE, of Houghton, and Was.
CONSTABLE MAXWELL, Esq. of Everingham, their names
having been recently added to the Commission, took the
usual oaths of qualification as Magistrates for the East
Riding, and sat on the bench accordingly. Twenty-three
Magistrates were in attendance.—Hull Rochinvhant.
NEW TURNPIKE ROAD TO HEDON.—II
will be seen from a notice in our advertising columns, that
an application is bbout to be made to Parliament, for an
act for making and maintaining a new Turnpike-road from
this town to Hedon, an improvement which has been long
called for. By the projected line, we understand, a saving
of three miles will be effected in the distance of the town
in question, and indeed to all the places situated in the
Eastern part of Holderness.--Hull Packet.

The plants of young wheats look very pro•
raising on those lands which were first cleared of their old
crops. Generally, however, the farmers have had to
complain of the excessive foulness of tho soil, which was
choked with weeds after such long continued rains, and
for a time it was so sloughy, that it was absolutely impos-
sible to work the horses at all.

SUDDEN DEATH.—Last night, about nine
o'clock, a man, who appeared rather intoxicated, was 0-
served by one of the' police, who, feeling anxious for his
safety, followed him along the Strand, as far as Villiers-
street, when he suddenly fell and expired. He was in-
stantly conveyed to Covent-garden watch-house, and sur-
gical aid procured, but all to no purpose, as life was quite
extinct. It appears by a card found in his pocket, that his
name is LONOLEY, a compositor ; but his residence has
not transpired.

A rather curious discovery of male and female
dead bodies, in perfect preservation, supposed to have been
interred (from the circumstance of farthings of that age
being placed upon some of their eyes) in the reign of
CHARLES IL, was made the other day, in the church of
St. John of Jerusalem, formerly a richly endowed monas-
tery, but now a chapel, under the evangelical dominion of
a Mr. FAULKNER, situated in Jerusalem-square, Clerken-
well. From the time elapsed, and their perfect state, it
is conjectured that they must have undergone some process
of embalment, then rather common. But who or what
their grade were no proof was afforded other than by the
farthings in question, neither cloak nor clothing of any
kind appearing to have enshrouded them. But few people
were admitted to see them ; among whom we perceived
the Richmond Herald, who, being rather curious in anti-
quarian research, it is hoped may throw some light upon
the subject. -
