the nhibt enthusiastic cheers, the whole House standing.
lie seemed in excellent heaith and spirits, and several
times during the play evinced touch &light at the
thisicsl exertions of the young.. Gentlemen, who all
aae.lred to exceed, if possible, their former efforts,
upon this occasion. The side boxes were filled with
I.4die; of distinction and fashion.

During the late panic, it appears that some of the
leading merchants supported those houses in which
they had confidence, in the most liberal manner; and
we feel particular pleasure in mentioning an instance of
one merchant, who had a. balance of 50,0001. at his
banker's, but on hearing of a run upon the house, he
tent 60,000/. more.—'! imet•

Mr. Humz has written a letter to the Secretary to the
0, ci atives of Leeds, declining to receive a piece of plate,
winch they proposed to subscribe for, and announcing
it to be his determination, for " reasons too numerous to
be detailed, not to accept of any such presents, in fu-
ture, from any class of the community."
Thursday, an accident, which had nearly proved fatal
in its consequences, occurred at Pittville. Between ten
and eleven o'clock in the morning, while the masons
were at work on one of the unfinished houses erecting
by Mr. Watts, near the New Church, the front wall
suddenly gave way, and fell with a dreadful crash,
carrying with it three of the workmen. Their escape,
with life, was indeed miraculous. One of them was
actually walking upon the coping at the moment of
the fall, and he was hurled to the earth with such vio-
lence, amidst the falling fragments, that he now lies
seriously indisposed.--Cheltenham Journal.
Thursday, a heave poi Lion of the Cliff behind Lime-
kiln-street, Dover, became detache4l, and fell through
the workshop of Mr. Rousa, coach-builder; destroying
a chariot on which Mr. Rousse, jun. was at the moment
employed, and who narrowly escaped with his life.
RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE AMONG THE ARABS —At the
town of Aehnah, we alighted at the house of a kinsman
cf Abu Farah, who appeared to have relations, friends,
arid acquaintances over every part of the country. We
Lid a large party of Druzes assembled to greet our
t. elcome, and here, for the first time in the Harman, I
SAO/ chimneys and fire-places, as in the farm-houses in
England, well filed with excellent fuel, and a blazing
tire kept up during the night. The men of our party
were all stout, handsome, clean, and well dressed; and
the children were among the best looking that I had
ever seen in any part of Syria. The Government being
in the hands of the Druze Chief, and the people of that
sect never attempting to make.proselytes, but exercising
great toleration towards all other persons of opposite
religions, there appeared to be greater harmony and
good understanding between all parties here, than
uou:d have been the case if Mohammedans had pos-
sessed the sovercign rule.—Backirigharn's Trawls.
