The Merchants who attend 'Change are subjected to
a severe annoyance by the mode in which the order of
the Gresham Committee is enforced for clearing the
place and closing the gates at half-past four o'clock.
The keepers and beadles of the Exchange are provided
with large bells, which they ring violently in the ears of
those engaged in transacting business, to which the
clamours they produce is an effectual obstacle. This
rude interruption, to make the matter worse, is usually
commenced full a quarter of an hour earlier than necese.
sary, so that many Gentlemen, whose organs are 1101,0
coarse as to enable them to bear the- sound, are com-
pelled to leave their business unfinished. We have
heard repeatesconsplaiuts on the subject.

Monday night, Mr. KEAN was so ill, that at the con-
clusion of the third act of Richard the. Third, one of
she performers came forward to state that Mr. Keay,
Trom his evident indisposition and increased symptoms
of cold, could not proceed further in the play, and that
Mr. WALLACK had kindly offered his services in his
place: the Managers confidently hoped, that under all
the circumstances, an appeal to the usual liberality of
the audience would not be in vain. This was received
with much applause, and the audience seemed to bear
their disappointment with good humour.

We are informed that the journeymen cotton-spin-
ners, in a very respectable establishment, near Carrick-
fergus, have turned out, in order. to compel the pro.
prietor to dismiss a confidential clerk or manager from
his employment. The turn-out, it appears, is of so
alarming a nature, that military aid has been found ne-
cessary to preserve order and secure the safety of the
premises, ke.—Berfast Nags-Letter.

IVlonday'nighns.bout ten o'clock, the van hom Lon-,
don -to Dover .was standing at the firs; inn door in
e ravesend, without coachman, guard, or ostler, at the
beads of the horsesi• when, hearing the horn blown by
the guard of the-Union coach, they set off, and touched
it with the van. but fortunately did not overturn it,--
The guard of the van ran after it, and making an at-
tempt to stop the hones in- vain, he was thrown down,.
and both legs were crashed by the van going over
them ; the poor fellow was taken to the workhouse at
Gravesend, without hopes of his recovery.
Mr. Capper, one of the Churchwardens of St. James's
parish, yesterday applied for advice to the Magistrates
at Marlborotrigkeral)ffice. fie stated. that a short
time ago as Mr. cow-keeper, Little Sr. James's-
street, was playing with a favourite dog, it licked a part
of his hand whicleintasore, and soon after shewetl evi-
dent symptoms of hydrophobias, and bit several other
dogs, the consequence of *Nell wai much dreaded ;
Mr. &HAN r immediately gave orders for notices to be
issued to the inhabitants to keep. their dogs confined,
under pain of indictment.
Sunday afternoon three young Men hired a wherry,
and proceeded up the River to Putney. On their re-
turn, about eight o'clock, they erected a kind of sail,
and proceeded down the River a short distance from the
Reach. Two of the party, Benjamin Holfell and G.
Smith, being very much . intoxicated,
.stood up in the
beat, whieli instantly upset, and they were immersed.
Smith and Holten sunk instantly, and never rote again.
The other clung to the sail, and was picked up by
another boat, in. which were a party of young men.—
Every exertion was made to save the two who had
sunk, but of no avail; they were never seen again.—
Smith was a married-man.
