A whimsical mistake occurs in The Gazette de
Frazee, received yesterday, which, in announcing the
arrival of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL at Calais, calls
him General Goanow, in the service of his Britannic
Majesty!
PATHETIC APPEAL !—A. lawyer, lately upon a
Circuit in Ireland, who was pleading the cause of an
infant plaintiff (a child about four years of age) took
it up in his arms, and presented it to the Jury, suffused
with tears. This had a great effect, until the opposite
lawyer asked the child what made him cry ? " lie
pinched we !" answered the little innocent. The Court'
was convulsed with laughter.
Dercroanoo BALLS.—A full congregation was as-,
sembled on Sunday in Broadway Chapel,Wesminster,
to hear the• Rev. Mr. SAUNDERS, and were thrown
into a state of tenor and alarm by the explosion of
one of these devices, the report of which was mistaken
for that of a gun or a pistol, fired in the Chapel. The
profane and mischievous person who threw it into the
east end of the Chapel, when it exploded, was not
discovered. The same wanton spirit has introduced
them into our Theatres, where they destroy the effect
of the finest scenes. We trust that doe diligence will'
be used to detect the offenders. _ _ _ _

The contracts for Irish beef andpot k for the Navy,
for the ensuing year, were arranged by the Commis-
sioners of the Victualling Board, on Saturday. The
quantity is little more than half of what was required i
last year, and the price is considerably lower. Last

pork. This year the total supply is 40,000. The
price on the average of beef and pork is about £8 per
tierce. The price last year was 812 4s. 9d.

RETRACT OF A LITTER FROM MA RO AbTE, DATED THE
30711 SEPTEMBER.
gi The inconveniences under which the Shipping
Intesets in this place have so long groaned are now
likely to be remedied. Before any vessel can be en-
tered or cleared within the harbour of Margate, it is
absolutely necessary for the Master to repair to the
Custom-house, at Sandwich, a journey of eighteen
miles ; and it frequently happens that the Captain
has to go this distance two or three times before his
vessel can be cleared. We believe there are, at least,
400 applications in each year; the trouble and ex-
pense are very mischievous indeed! Fortunately for
the town, Lord G. Sevuove (brother of the Marquis
of HERTFORD, and a Commisoner of the Customs),
being about to embark with his family for Ostend, a
few days since, was interrupted by one of the Officers,
who insisted that the carriages of his Lordship should
not be put on board until the accustomed form, of
being cleared out at Sandwich, was complied with.—
This his Lordship would not submit to, but perempto-
rily directed their being immediately shipped; at the,
same time pledging his honour, that lee would make
such representations to the Hon. Board as should pro-
duce a remedy, and abolish the nuisance altogether."
At Waltham Fair, near Grantham, on Tuesday
last, a shocking accident happened to the proprietor
of a large wax-work exhibition : the poor man was
proceeding to Leicester races, and was seated on the
shafts of the caravan containing the wax-wot lc, &c.
when he fell from the shaft, and the wheels passing
over his body, killed him on the spot.
A few evenings since the following accident hap-
' pened at Chesterfield :—A poor woman travelling
with a pass, was ordered for refreshment, and lodging
for the night, to the workhouse, but being intoxicated,.
was very refractory, and refused to go; the person
who had her in custody left her in the street, and a
crowd collected about her ; a stage waggon coming
by at the time, on turning the corner into the Vicar-
lane, she was jammed against a post and killed ; a
child of J. Lowe, tailor, died before it could be got
home; and another belonging to V. Wilkinson, roper,
died on Sunday night : some others were hurt.
Gentlemen and others who, haiint passed a life
of gaiety, are about to obtain the domestic comforts
of a conjugal state, will do well to consult Messrs.
Coormt and Co. Surgeons, of Charlotte-street, Black-
friars-road, previous thereto. Few persons are swat,
how too often the latent seeds of an infectious Disor-
der have lurked in the system, and never manifested
themselves, but through the finer cartileges of their
little unfortunate and unoffending uflipring, the va-
rious afections of which are too often the result of an
ill-cured contagion in the unsuspecting parent. Sur.
geon COOPER and Co. profess to eradicate every atom
of the Miasmata, thereby rendering the constitution
perfectly sound ; those whose system are become de-
bilitated, either from juvenile indiscretions or impro.
per treatment, need not despair ; and those whom
distance or delicacy may prevent from making perso.'
nal application, may be advised by letter, and per-
fectly relieved, on stating candidly their cases, enclo-
sing a fee, directed to COOPER and C.,. Surge, ns,

themselves to cure the Piled and Fistula without cut-
ting, however inveterate or complicated.
