ELLISTON has been for some time busily em-
ployed in collecting a company calculated to meet the critical taste
of the Metropolis. Among the new engagements is a Gentleman
of the name of Ilenronn, from the Dublin Theatre, who is to per-
form the character of Caspar, in the Opera of Der Freischutz, and
sing all the original music attached to the part.

On the 27th Sia:ernber theta were great festivities
at Christiania, to celebrate the two hundredth anniver-
sary of the foundation of that City.
This morning, just before two o'clock, a dreadful
fire broke out in the ssarehouse of Messrs. Tite and Smith. Rdssia
mat and bag merchants, situated in Feuchurch•street. It raged
with the greatest fury, and caught the livery-stables of Mr. Putney,
'in Northumberland-yard ; the premises, which are very extensive,
are all destroyed, but the carriages and horses were saved. The
fire was now at its height., and although a great number of engines
arrived, they could not act, for want of water; it was, indeed, a
full hour before they got any. As soon as it was obtained, the
engines played with great effect, and arrested the progress of the
flames, which had now communicated to the front of the house of
Tire and Co. which, with two houses in Northumberland-yard, the
livery-stables of Mr. Putney, and the backs of the houses of Messrs.
Broxup, Bamfield, and Howard, were burnt and damaged before
the flames were extinguished, which was not until nearly six
o'clock. Three houses and the stables were burnt, and three or
four more damaged.

LITERARv PIRACY.—The injunction which we a few
days ago noticed that it was the intention of Mt. GODWIN
to apply for against FISHER, the bookseller, who has pi-
rated Caleb Williams, has been granted by the Master of
the Rolls, and served upon Mr. FISHER. The Copyright
Act, as it formerly stood, restored the property of a
work to its author for his Hie (should he have sold it to a
bookseller) after the lapse of 14 years. This Act was
lately altered, and the term of years extended from 14
to 28. We believe the pre,etit injunction is the first
one that has been claimed by and granted to an author,
under this new Act. The novel of Caleb Williams was
first published in 1794.
The funeral service, which was to have been performed
at Paris for the actor Phillipe, on the 20th of October,
did not take place. It is a curious fact that, some time
since, an Officer died in the same palish to which Phil-
lipe belonged, who expressed a wish, at his dying mo-
ment, that his body might not be brought to the Church
of St. Laurent. His executor proposed, accordingly,
to have the body brought to the church-yard ; but the',
Clergy of the Church sent for the body of the deceased ;
and, notwithstanding the resistance of his friends and,
family, and notwithstanding even the circumstance of
the deceased not requiring or receiving the last sacra-
ment, yet they persevered so far as to cause the body
to be brought to the Church.
When Louis XVIII. resided at Hartwell, the seat of
the Duke of Buckingham, his Majesty frequently
visited Berkhamstead, and dined at an inn there. The
landlord's daughter, Miss Page, was particularly no-
ticed by the King for her amiable conduct, and on the
King's return to France he invited Miss Page to visit
Paris. A few months since she accepted the invitation,
and was most graciously received by the Monarch. A
suite of apartments were set apart for her in the Tuile-
ries, and the Chamberlain was directed to shew her
what was worthy of attention in Paris. She frequently
dined at the King's table, and was received and caressed
by most of the Royal Family of France. On quitting
the capital, the King presented her with 2001. which his
Majesty begged shf would accept, as a token of his
friendship, to pay her expenses.
