AWFUL AND SUDDEN DEATH.—Sunday, as L'Abbe
Peru.t.ox, one of the Chief Priests of the French Chapel, George-
street, Portman-square, was preaching to his Excellency Prince
POLIONAC, the French Ambassador, and Suite, and a numerous can-1
gregation, he was observed by his Excellency to stoop in the middle
of his discourse, in a very extraordinary position, fur above a minute.
His Excellency became alarmed, and ordered one of his attendants'.
to request Mr. Cuenca, Chief Chaplain, to ascend the pulpit, when,
to his inexpressible terror, he found the Reverend Prelate on the
point of expiring. Immediate aid was given by Mr. COYLE, Sur-
geon, of Welbeck-street, and Mr. DIZSIGNOI, of York-street, but
before they could reach the Vestry the vital spark had fled. The
deceased was of mild and amiable manners, and was particularly
noticed by the present French Monarch and all the Royal Family.
The subject of his discourse at the awful moment was very pecu-
liar—the following is the substance d the words he last delivered :
'" How precious is our time in this world, for we are not sure at
what moment we may be summoned before the Throne of the
Ausiouvy, to account for our actions here." The Princess
Pouonac ad the whale of the congregation were deeply affected at
the loss of their- uek esteemed Paster. He was in his 79th year.
Friday, the Waterloo steam-boat, in coming up the
River, took the ground nearly opposite to Govan. Amongst the
passengers on board were a number of Irish labourers (from the
Swift steam-packet, from Belfast), come over to procure work
during the harvest, and who, impatient to get forward, rushed into
a small boat in seek numbers, that she was almost In a sinking state
with the bed. Is this situation, and about to shove off, a huge
Irishman jumped headlong from the Waterloo into the boat, amongst
dhis=utions by which the beet was upset and several persons
; the number uncertain—Glasgow Cburier.

Glasgow Comm

Tea Rrroar Coualuus.—ln a horse cause which was tried at
York the other day, Mr. Scarlett, in addressing the Jury, said, that
"if the horse was a roarer, he only corresponded with sonic .Counsel,
who, u the Jury well knew, roared sometimes; and they probably
would btu some roaring soon." Mr. John Williams, at whom this
was directed, in the coarse of his reply, observed that " Mr. Scatiett
said something about a roaring lawyer ; himself he could not mean.
Had be(Mr. W.) compared his learned friend to a horse, or to another
animal of the same species, but which had shorter legs and longer
ears, he would not have much admired it ; but he ( Mr. W) would
not. He left it to his Learned Friend to deal in such ironic taunts,
who, be presumed, from his superior station, conceived he was en-
titled to use them towards inferior Counsel." •
