" My DEA II Fawertr—lly the inclosed forni of notice, puss
will perceive that the negotiation which has been for some time
pending between the Gentlemen holditkg the other shares of Co-

proud satisfaction of being able to state, that by this arrangement,
the payment of every creditor on the Theatre is completely Se-
cured against all hazard. For this I have been induced to make
a sacrifice of my personal feelings, and to quit, for a tints, the
society of those whom I am proud to call my friends,. by who.e
aid and exertions I have weAliered netny a Theatrical gale ;
such, however, (I am confident) k the Lend-will of the Compley
of Covent-Garden Theatre towards me, thst they will be the
first to rejoice that I have been relieved ftom the heavy weight
of responsibility which has pressed upon me for so long a p. nod.
Pray offer them this tribute, which I am happy to pay to their
private worth and their professional talent, and assure them that
as chief Proprietor of Covent-Garden Theatre, my interests are
still inseparably linked with theirs, and that I ant as anxious as
ever to promote the welfare and happiness of you all. And be-
lieve me, Your sincerely attached friend,
" To J. Faweerr, Esq." " H. HARRIS.

DREADFUL Acetone.—About four o'clock, yesterday after-
noon, one of the gasometers in Friars-street burst with a dread.el
explosion. Here is the reservoir for supplying Dlackfriars-rmil
and the adjacent streets with ess, and the gasometer that l':;.t
was quite new, and at the time it burst contained about 16f, •-...s
of water.. The accident, it is supposed, happened from as g-ece
meter being too much charged with gas. Wit.t.talt Moacns, :.3
engineer, was thrown from the gasometer full ten yards over the
wail of Mr. ANDREWS'S premises in Green-street, and killed on
the spot. The damage done to the neighbourhoodr is very con-
siderable, and a great many persons have been severely hurt.—
Mr. Rorea's (a bone-boiler) premises are completely destroyed,
and he narrowly escaped with his life; be is much hurt. Sevetsl
houses and other mar.ufactori”s haze been much injured. l''.:t
the most afflicting scene of all, is the calamity suffered by Mrs.
CLA mu. whose husband was on Wednesday last scalded to death,
by losing his hold, and failing into a cauldron of boiling water, in
Green-street, and whose body lies at Guy's Hospital, for inter-
ment. The power of the water was such on the burstieg of the
gasometer, that it completely washed away Mrs. Ctaitue's hoe se,
and a little girl in arms was dreadfully hurt, and carried away by
the force of the water nearly.soyards from whence the house steel.
GREAT PIGEON MATCH.—The Match for 200 guineas, between
six of the Midgham Club and six of All England, who shot a:d
won a match on the preceding day, against Hants, Oxon, reel
the Club, took place on Thursday, on the same ground, at 7.151-
sham, Hants. In the first Match, the twelve of All England
killed 96 birds, at eleven shots each, and the Club and the Coun-
ties bagged 89 : the Club men made the worst shots, which led
to the present Match of no ordinary interest. The Match was
decided in favour of Midgham, the numbers being 46, 44—A1l
England, 48, 49. -

QtYEEN•SQUA RE.CIIRIOUS CHARGE or BASTA RDY,:.Th is morn-
ing Mr. Ex-Sheriff PARKINS appeared, upon a warrant front the
united parish of St. Margaret and St. John, Westminster,
charging him with being the father of a bastard child, and re-
fusing to make provision for it. Hannah White, alias Jervis, was
the lady who brought forward the case, and swore positively to the
intercourse occurring (above all other days) on the day of the hale
Queen's funeral! The worthy Ex-Sheriff appeared to be as
much surprised at the accusation as the audience were, and in
dignantly cross-examined the woman, but she persisting in the
truth of her story, the Magistrate, MARELAND, Esq. was
reluctantly obliged to bind him over to answer the charge
at the Sessions, himself in £4O, and two sureties in £2O each.—
Mr. Parkins avowed his determination to investigrte the tratta
to the bottom, as it was a malignant conspiracy against him.
GIIIIDIIALL.—Brooks and Edwards, who were examined at
Hatton-garden Office, relative to the murder of Mrs. Dot atta,
were brought up. It appeared they were conversing with Judd,
a coachman, early on Tuesday morning, in Holborn, when the
latter wantonly struck a pour man, and was taken into custody
by the watchman. Edwards then proposed a rescue, and passed
between them, but used no violence. Being known, however,
he and Brooks were lodged in the Compter. Judd was now
committed for the assault, and Brooks and Edwards discharged,
on giving bail for their flood behaviour.
liarrom-Gaanare.-1 esterday, Edwards, who stood charged
on suspicion of the murder of Mrs. Doflatty, was discharges!,
the evidence not being sufficient to warrant his detainer. Some
circumstances were then adduced, which It would neither be
fair, nor even legal, at present to mention, that induced the
Magistrates to cause a brother of the late Mr. Donatty to be ap-
prehended, and he was brought up, and ordered to be detained.
Bow-srarxy.—J. PuVleet was fully committed, for defrayl-
ing Messrs. Drummoods, the bankers, of se 5 Ss. under pretence
of collecting subscriptions for a Society which distributes provi-
sions to the pour at a cheap rate.
1,. Kelly was also committed, charged with defrauding Mare
Burke, under a representation that he belonged to the Navy Pry
and Admiralty Offices, and that his name was Smith. Mt. Nut-
land, from the Admiralty, disproved his statement.
Tuesday last, a little girl, about eight years of age, named
Mary Plaster, was sent by her mother, at Twickenham, with her
brother's dinner. The child not returning, the mother concluded
she hid been detained to return with her brother. On his coming
from school in the evening, the mother was alarmed with the in-
telligence that she had delivered the dinner in a regular manner,
and had immediately, as was supposed, returned home. Not-
withstanding the most diligent search has since been made
through that and the neighbouring parishes, nothing whatever
has been heard of her. She had on when she left borne, a brown
stuff frock with short sleeves, a red cotton pinafore, and an old
white beaver bonnet; she has black eyes, dark complexion, and
dark hair.
