Newspapers from New South Wales to the beginning
of December last have reached us. A Public Meeting
had been held in Sidney, on the communication of the
death of the late Governor, Major-General MACQUAR-
ass. The Judge Advocate-General WYLDE was in the
Chair. It was resolved that e inhabitants should at-
tend a funeral service • that the bells of the Churches
of St. Phillip and Sc. fames should be set to toll, muf-
fled, for three days, and a sermon be preached by the
Rev. WIC COWPSR, the senior Assistant Chaplain, on
that mournful occasion. A subscription was opened
for the erection of a monument to record his worth,
and the grateful respect of the colonists. An Address
of Condolence was agreed to be presented to Mrs. MAC.
OTTARRIE, which was to be forwarded to Sir CHARLES'
FORBES, Bart. M.P. soliciting him, as one of the most
intimate friends of the late Governor, to have the same
duly presented to that Lady on the parr and in the name
of the subscribers. On Saturday, the ISth November,
the Bank was closed, by order of the Directors, out of
respect to the memory of the late Governor.
Saturday, a respectable young man was brought to
Marlborough street, charged by an Hibernian Charley
with being an insurrection-man, having found him
scaling the railings of St. Paul's (Covent-Garden)
church-yard, at two o'clock in the morning. The youth
declared that it was all a drunken frolic, and from his
being seized with a strong desire to " Meditate a bit
among the tombs." It appeared, however, that his
business lay more with the living than the dead—a
lattice-window being observed by another watchman
to be hastily closed by some melting Juliet, after she
had witnessed the catastrophe of her love-sick Romeo,
who is detained, in case he should be wanted.
Wednesday night, about half-past eleven o'clock, as
the family of Mr. E. Blaker, North-street, Brighton,
were retiring to rest, they were alarmed by cries of
" Constable, &c. proceeding from the adjoining house
(Mr. Sharp's). On enquiring into the cause of this dis-
turbance, at appeared that some person had just made
his escape from the gape window of Mr. Sharp's house,
and by crawling over the roofs, dropping down into
the yard, and so on, bad contrived to get clear off
through a passage which runs into the street, not-
withstanding he was watched by a son of Mr. Sharp.
A hue and cry was instantly raised, and by the assist`
ante of a Gentleman who had been out to dinner, and
was returning home, the fugitive was stopped and
brought back. He was without his bolts, and had, it
seems, in that state dropped a height of at least ten
feet upon a cistern, which he broke in the fall, and
tumbled into a large tub full of water. He demanded
the cause of his detention, and at first assumed a high
tone ; but on a threat of being: taken to the black hole,
and conveyed before the Magistrates in the morning,
he stated' that he was a Gentleman (and as it afterwards
turned out, a Lieutenant in the Navy), residing here,
and ultimately was suffered to depart—but without his
bouts, which, notwithstanding repeated applications,
Mr. Sharp still keeps in his possession. It appears that
one of Mr. Sharp's fair maids, to whom the gallant
Lieutenant had paid his devoirs' bad domed him away
in her bed-room, where be had been from nine o'clock.
A Mayor of a small village in France, having oc•
casion to give a passport to a distinguished personage
in his n ighlmarhood, wh i was blind of an eye, was
in great eotbarrassment on coming to the description
i.f his person. Fearful of offending the great man, he
ad ,pted the following ingenious expedient of avoiding
the mention of his deformity. He wrote—Black eyes,
one of which is absent.
Four of the Duke of GRAFTON'S stud, destined for
Epsom, passed along London Bridge ye,terday morning
early, from the Eagle at Snaiesbrook, on their way to
the former place; two of them Derby horses—Rufus
and Nigel, and two fillies.
