before the Magistrate as a deserter from the Ist Regiment of Foot
Guards. It appeared that the recruit and a private of the above
Regiment lead been drinking together the previous evening, and
the lacquey's heart bearing high for glory, he was induced by his
companion to take a shilling in the King's name; but neat morning
all Ins dreams of Waterloo, Ote. bad evaporated, and he did not re-
collect a word of the business till the soldier arrived at his master's,
to claim his man. The Magistrate questioned the right of a private
soldier to enlist, bet the soldier said it was authorised in the Guards.
The Magistrate held to his opinion ; but the recruit was ultimately
taken away as a deserter, until the opinion of the Commander in.
Chief was obtained.

Saturday a man named Higgins, in the employment of Messrs.
Pugh, upholsterers, in High-street, Southwark, was brought before

employers to a considerable extent.
One of the Gentlemen belonging to the firm stated that the pri.
soner was for some length of time suspected of robbing the pre-
mises before be was detected. The day on which be was appre-
hended a plan was laid for his detection. One of their trust
worthy,servanta had directions to conceal himself in the warehouse
to which the suspected man had access. The individual in question
bad not been lung in his concealment before he observed the prise-
' ner enter it, and proceed to remove a large bag of feathers, which
be carried out on his back into the rear of the premises, and set it
down in a situation from whence he would find no impediment in
the way of removing it off entirely when an opportunity offered.
The circumstance was mentioned to the firm, one of whom ques-
tioned Higgins, who exhibited great confusion ; and, subsequently,
a search warrant was procured, and executed upon the prisoner's
premises, where a great quantity of property, consisting of articles
used in the trade. and belonging to Messrs. Pugh, were discovered.
The prisoner was remanded for another examination, in order to
have the attendance of a principal witness, to whom Higgins sent a
quantity en Russia leather that be had taken from his employers.

late John Kemble .was on one occasion compldining of
want of ►uvelty at Drury-lane Theatre, and fiat as
Manager, he telt uneasy at the lack of it. "My deo
Kentble," said Mr. Sheridan, " don't talk of grit.vance
now." But Kemble still kept on saying, " Indeed wt
must seek for novelty, or the Theatre must sink—n
velty, and novelty alone, can prop it." " Then," te.
plied Shetiddn with a smile, " it you want novelty, act
Handel, and have music pi eyed during your pauses."
