The NORMANTON family have been in great anxiety
for Viscount SoeirairoN, who, it was feared, had ac-
companied Viscount Roeseex ' • but letters were re-
ceived, en Saturday, from his Lordship, which have
allayed their fears for his safety, as he remained at
Memel.
There is something peculiarly remarkable in the fate
of Lord Roestoe and his companions. This Noble
Lord has not been above four years from this country,
and not one of those by whom he was accompanied
on
his departure has survived his fate. His tutor, private
secretary, and steward, all died a natural death some
time since ; and his other attendants, together with
the companions of his tour, sunk with him into the
watery grave. His Lordship had twies, since he went
to the Continent, escaped being drowned. In the course
of the last winter he went down in a sledge, and was
rescued by a Mr. POOLE, who took him out of
the ice by the hair of the head For this Mr. Poatk
was handsomely rewarded by Lord Haanwtoce..—
Lord ItoesroN was distinguished for great amiability
of disposition and activity of mind.

tended on Saturday night. The Play was TAt
Fashionable Loser, with Who Wins? or„ The Widow':
Choice. C 0110.:, LEWIS, and POPE, played with great
spirit and discrimination.
A PRMENT.—Between eleven and twelve on Satin,
day night, a crowd of people, to the amount of nearlf
200 persons, were heard making a great clamour about
the door of the Marquis of BUCKINGHAM, in Pall-Mall.
Some of the servants opened the door, and discovered
that the attention of the people was attracted by the
appearance of a basket on the steps of the Noble
Marquis's door, with a label affixed to it, as if it cur-
ta:ned game, or some present from the country. The
label was written in these words, To tht iu.want .art
of the Marchioness of BUCKINGHAM; and, i pin 'coking
at its contents, there was seen a fine femaie child, ap.
parently about a month old, very neatly and comfort-
ably dressed, with a very handsc.me gold seal sus.
pended to its neck by a new ribband, so that it al'-
peered upon tlell'whole not tonave belonged to cue in
very indigent circumstances. From a person in tie
crowd, it was found that the basket was at first lera
at a door near Christie's Auction-rooms ; same female
Observed it ; the child was fast asleep, but upon the
woman kicking against the basket in order to try what
it was, to her great surprize the child waked and cried.
A crowd then gathered, and son-e one disewered
that, by the label, it was directed to the Marchioness
of Buextecteser, and carried it to the door of the Noble
Msrquis. The servant that happened to open the
door acquainted her Ladyship with the fact, and de-
livered to her a letter which was also found in the
basket, imploring her Ladyship's assistance. How-
ever, lest such tricks as these should become too com-
mon, if encouraged, she sent it to St. James's work-
house to betaken care of until the owner can be foam!.
