It is mentioned in a. letter from Weimar, dated Sept. <%,
that the celebrated Gaethe has remained in that
capital the whole of the summer, aid that the anniver-
sary of hit birth-day has lately been solemnized by its
cultivated inhabitants with great splenLour. Besides a
large party which waited. upon the poet at his own
dwelling to pay him their reveotv, another patty tvas
formed to celebtate the occasion in a public-haute in
the city. Thither the sr. of the poet went to thank the
company in the name of his father. He enjoys good
health, and proposes this autumn to make -a tour on
the Rhine.

ROBORRY •AT Tilt PIT-DOOR OW TEMI HAYMARKET
THRATRI.--A Gentleman of the name of Shepherd
was forcibly robbed of his gold repeating watch, a mag-
nificent chain and seals, at seven o'clock in the even-
ing, by a gang of pickpockets, at the time he was pay-
ing his money. A powerful man faced the loser; he
tote open the buttons of his pantaloons, for the chain
had been tucked into the fob. Although there were at
least thirty- persons in the passage, the villain escaped
with his-booty. The watch and its appendages were
worth one hundred guineas.
A quarry of most beautiful green marble has been
within the last sit months discovered on the estate of
Joust D'Angv, Esq. of Clifden Castle, in the county of
Galway. Someof the most scientific men in England,
to whom specimens have been shewn with merely the
Galway polish upon .them, designate the marble as
4, precious serpentine," more beautiful in shade and co•
lour than the much-admired " herd Antico." The
only quarry of green marble ever found in Great Bri-
tain was discovered in Wales, but it was convertible to
no purpose. Egypt or Ireland is, therefore, our only
resource for this valuable stone. •
Last week a large porpoise, in the act of chasing a
salmon making for the shore in Beachley Bay, pursued
with such avidity as to run aground, and being the tide
of ebb, was left in a vessel's birth. A ship carpenter at
work near the spot, attacked the voracious hog with his
axe, and soon made him a lawful prize.
Saturday nght last, some daring villains entered the
house of Sir. O. Beaumont, Bart. N 0.29, Grosvenor.

f the bongo, tied by that means getting into the hal-
+ -con .401 the drawing-roons windows, one of which being
ed, they lifted u_p the sash and proceeded through
toe once when they forced open several drawers and
cupboards,, from which they carried off a quantity of
e and other valuable property. They also contrived
to take away with them a valuable chime clock, of
considerable bulk. The only persons in the house, at the
time were an old man and his wife, who slept in one of
the attics, and who were in charge of the house. On
Sunday morning, when the old man got up, he found
the hall-door wide open, by which way the thieves had
escaped.- The old man also found that a box, belong-
ing.to himself, which stood in the pantry, had bees
broken open, and his watch, and a gnat part of his
wearing-apparel stolen.
An UNWRLCOMZ Guesr.—The inhabitants of a house
in Grafton-street, were. about eight o'clock on Monday
night, put in no small- alarm by the appearance of a
bullock in the passage.. The visitor, from his subse-
irent behaviour, seemed.determined not to quit posses-
sion. The refractory animal had been condemned
to die at a slaughter-house adjoining, but on arrivieg at
the gates he deliberately turned round, walked uPlbe
passage, and (torn theace.asade his way to the kitchen-
stairs, down, which be proceeded in due form, until he
arrived about midway; the bannisters gave way to his
heavy carcase, and, at length, down he fell, without
stopping until the better part of his body was actually
in the kitchen. Every effort to eject him was in vain*
and he took( up his abode for the night and nest day,
in the same place. The circumstance had the effect of
collecting a vast concourse of people tngether, and
many smart sallies of wit were made against poor Mr.
Bull and his affrighted and unwilling hosts.
.The site of the first fort erected in Maryland by the
Cambia break set by laird Baltimore in 1634, has been log
wean away and severed by the water. Four of the cannon, how.
ever, that were mounted upon it have been found beneath the
water, embedded in mud, and taken up. Two of them appear se
have been partially burst, probably In self-defence against the In-
dians. From one a ball was extracted weighing eight posed.;
mother was boded with chain shot, The three largest were tea
feet long, and the fourth six. On the one which was bout ou-
tmoded by mud a bystander mooted EN oysters. • :
