We yesterday expressed a hope that the report of
the loss of the LIVELY frigate, stated in some of the
Morning Papers, would prove unfounded. We are
now confident this will prove to be the c•ise, as we
have ascertained that, so late as the ith instant she
was safe.

As a warning to persons who may purchase cr use

consequences alluded to.
Monday a chimney caught fire in Little Drury-

CORONER'S Ixontsr.—On Sunday night, as Mr.
Jacques, of Poland-street, was returning from Wat-
ford, he discovered a horse fastened, appareatly acci-
dentally, to a gate,wichthereinsel-:angled, near Ford's-
lane. On abghting, he discovered a person in a
ditch, at about twenty yards distance from the horse,
who turned out to be Mr. Grist, a cattle dealer, at
Ivy, Herts. His face and head appeared dreadfully
disfigured. Mr. Grist was conveyed in a senseless
state to a house near the spot, where he expired in
half an hour. The horse had been do •.n as appeared
by the saddle, and it was concluded had fallen on the
deceased, who died of the fracture on his head. Ver-

Prussian Commissioners have arrived at Stockholm,
charged with proposals to the Swedish Government,
for the exchange of corn for colonial produce. The
quantity of grain is so great in some of the Prussian
ports, and the circumstances under which the harvest
was collected, was so unfavourable, th t a large pro-
portion of it is in danger of being spoiled. There is
on the other hand in Sweden, a prodigious accumu-
lation of colonial produce, which is at an extravagant
price in the Prussian dominions.

Yesterday morning, a little after ten o'clock, died,

Grace the Duchess of BOLTON.
We think it but justice to state, that Lieutenant-
Colonel Bricolcz, whose name has been so repeatedly
mentioned in the proceedings before the House of
Corm/ions, on the recent investigation, is a truly ho-
nourable and respectable character. He served in St.
Domingo in the years 1795, 1796 and 1797, as Major
in the late 96th Regiment of Foot, and was, for a
considerable part of that period, Commandant of the
district of St. Marc, where-he acquitted himself, in a

every respect to the entire satisfaction of Sir An. NI
