ASYLUM FOR DEAF AND Dk MB CHILDREN.—
Yesterday the Anniversary Fe,tival of this bene-
volent lw,titu ion was celebrated at the City ot.
London .Tavern, Bishopszate-street, About six
o'clock upwards of 200 friends and sooporters nt
the Charity sat down to a most excellent enter-

taitiment, his Royal Highness the Duke of GLOU-
CESTER in the Chair, supported on the right by
the Maiquis of Buckingham, and an the left by.
Col. Gaitskill. The children were imtroduced by
the Stewards, 24 boys and 12 girlsopid conduct-
ed round the room : four of the boys stood on
the table before the Chairman, and recited some

lines composed for the occasion. The Royal
Chairman put several questions to the boys and
girls, which they answered to,his satisfaction.

The celebrated LAVALETTE is said to have re-
sided in Scotland for a considerable time past ;
and it is added, that he is now in London.
The celebrated Chieftain, Sir GREGOR MAC..
GREGOR, whose exploits in South America have
been the theme of so much conversation in Eng-
land, had a narrow escape a few days ago from
an " uniaurelled death,''' by the accidental over-
turning of a stage coach, near Wooler, in which
he was a passenger from Newcastle for Edin-
burgh. A young Lady in the coach had her collar-
bone broken, and was so touch bruised, that she
was obliged to he left at Wooler.
On Monday last, as a Gentleman was driving a
very spirited horse in a chais,e past Chafing-cross,
attended by his servant, the animal took fright,
and one of the wheels coating off, threw them
both out of the chaise. The horse continued his
course down Whitehall, until he reached the Horse
Guards, where, the remaining wheel coming in
contact with one of the hackney coaches on the
stand at that place, the vehicle was shattered to
pieces; being disencumbered of the chaise, the
animal then made his way through the Horse
Guards into the Park, where he was secured.—
The Gentleman anti servant were both much
braised by the fall, but we hope not dangerously.
Paterson's Road Book scarcely contains the
names of more places than are to be found in the
list which Bistt has published of the Prizes. he
sold last Lottery, and their various destinations.
It is to be had gratis'at his Offices in Town, and
of his Agents in the Country, and is really (at
least to those interested in Lotteries) rather an
amusing document.

POETRY:

SONNET,
071 the Report that the E OF LtvEßPoot intended to retire
from Office.

While yet the reseed Nations feel alarm,
Rescu'd from Tyranny by BarrarN's aid,
With zeal so long, so gloriously, display'd,
'Till all, at length arous'd, for FREEDOM arm,
Freedom the potent, universal, charm—
Retire not, LIVERPOOL, so wise and staid,
Whose early days a blooming promise made,
Time has matur'd, nor deem us free from harm.
Lo ! GALLIA still at martial fame aspires,
And Danger lurks beneath a specious face,
Still may she spread her revolution fires,
And run once snore, in blood, her hideous race;
Hence BRITAIN still thy Guardian care requires,
BRITAIN the Wos ld's great Bulwark and its Base !
