NOTTINGIUM, JUNE 44

List night, at eight o'clock, a di patch route was fe-
ceived by the 2d battalion of the 45th, commanded
by Major 13nowt., to march foithsirith to Manchester.
Many of the Officers were enjoying the innocent de-
lights of the theatre, when the abrupt appearance of
the Serjeant-Major in the boxes broke the illusion, by
announcing the intelligence that they were summoned
to parade. The men were widely spread through
this large town, many of them regaling with Notting-
ham ale. However, very much to the honour of the
regiment, and highly creditable to its discipline, the
whole were under arms and in marching order on the
parade in less than two hours from the time the route
was received. They marched off the parade at half
past ten, for Derby, and so to proceed to Manchester.

Mr. LUDLAM.—The circumstances attending the
escape of this gentleman from the two men to whose
' care he was entrusted were somewhat extraordinary.
He had induced not only these, but some medical gen-
tlemen who attended him, and others, to believe that
his mind was perfecly restored. On Sunday se'nnight
he came down to breakfast, and his hands appearing
dirty, he was desired by Mrs. L. to wash them, and
was permitted to return to his bed-room for that pur-
pose. The room was on the second storey. He had
drawn the bed-post to the window, tied one of the
sheets to it, and connected the two sheets, from which
he dropped into the area, without the4east injury, and
hurried off, amidst the observation of many persons,
who, however, did not give the alarm till he was
wholly out of sight. He has not since been heard of ;
, he is about SO yaws of age.
