DI AR 1,1;01tOUG 11-STREET.

Yesterday morning, three well-dressed persons, who had given
their names as Sir Charles Campbell, Bart, the Hon. Mr. Beamish,
and Mr. J;fnees Cow, were placed at the bar on a charge of being
drunk and disorderly the preceding night in the Harms het.
A watchman stated, that about eleven-o'clock the night before,
he saw Sir Charles Campbell and the lion. Mr. Bearaish come out
of the Waterloo Billiard rooms, in the Haymarket. The former
immediately commenced a quarrel with Mr. Crow, who was in the,
street, and they gave charge of each other ; and be, seeing that all
three were di unk, took them to the watch house.
The prisoners, being questioned by the Magistrates, the two firm
acknowledged that they had assumed their titles for that night only.
Sir Charles Campbell, Bar:. was plain Michael Alexander Jagger;,
of Humphreys's Riding School, Waterloo-road. The Honourable
Mr. Beamish, was James Reamish, clerk to Deputy Commissary
O'Meara. The watchman having proved that they were all drunk,
they were fined five shillings each, which James Crow immediately
paid, and was discharged; but the titled Gentlemen, not being in
cash, were I-rm.:titled.

Price MA VROCORDATO is said to have written a letter
to a Gentleman in Colin, to which is the following
postscript :—" A great blow is preparing against the
troops of DERVISH PACHA indeed, we consider Thes-
saly as lost to the Turks, and doubt not it will form
part of the Greek Republic before the end of the year."

TIIE KING GINI THE PROSECUTION OF JOHN LAURENS
BICKNELL V. HAMMOND, E.%l.—Tuesday F. G. Ham-
mond, Esq. accompanied by several friends, and his
Solicitor, atten2ed the Bench, at the Roman Eaglc,
Deptford, before ROEURT EDMUNDS And SAMUEL BAR
KA no, Esqrs. two of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace'
for the Deplf ird Division, and, with his sureties, en-
tered into recogn;zances to appeir at the next Assizes,
for the County of Kent, to answer to a Bill of Indict-
ment preferred agairst him at the present Assizes for
that County. by the ex-Vestry Clerk of the Parish of
Greenwich, for an alleged libel upon that Gentleman.
Tuesday nigl,t, a meeting was held at the Grove-house,
Camberwell, for the purpose of establishing a new
Surrey Institution, for literary and scientific purposes,
in the neighbourhood of Camberwell, Kennington, and
%Val worth. Mr. Sheriff KEY was prevented by indispo-
sition from taking the chair. In his absence, Mr.
FAVELL preshied, and the establishment of the Institu-
tion was agreed upon, after some appropriate observa-
tions from Dr. BIRKSECK, Mr. FAN-ELL, the Rev. Mr.
ORME, and some other Gentlemen who reside in the
neighbourhood.

During the high wind on Monday last, a stack of
chinstries in the house of Mr. Bishop, at Fordwich, was
blown down on the roof of a wash-house, in which were
Mrs. B. two washing-women, and the servant girl,
who were all buried in the ruins ; some time was spent
in extricating them, when it was found that Mrs. B.
WAS very seriuttsly injured, and the other three more or
less severely bruised.

Wednesday se'nnight,. about twelve o'clock, a fire
broke out in the dwelling-house of Mr. Burn, a baker,'
in Union-street, Maidstone. Burn, his wife, and two
children, made their escape from the bed-room window
ii:to the street. The engines arrived with alacrity on
the spot, and having a plentiful supply of water, the
fire was soon extinguished.

A melancholy occurrence took place about a fort-
night ago, which has plunged a numerous family into
the greatest distress. As the servant of Mr. WILLMOTT,
of Lewisham, was driving the tw_o elder boys to school,
to Bromley, near Bow, a drunken fellow came out of
one of the public-houses, in Vklitechapel, and in cross-
ing the st:eet, fell down before the horse, and the wheel
of the chaise went over him. The servant immediately
took the man to a surgeon, where it was ascertained he
was not materially hurt ; whilst, however, they were at
the surgeon's, a crowd of butchers, &c. collected about
the chaise, and told the boys the man was dead, and
the groom would be hung, which so affected the
youngest, who was only eleven years of age, that he
became alarmed, fell back in the chaise, and did not
speak again till he got to school, when he became gra-
dually worse, till the Monday following, when he was
taken home to Lewisham; the fright, however, had
taken such deep possession of the system, that inflam-
mation of the bowels, and other alarming symptoms
came on, and all medicine proved ineffectual : he lin-
gered till Friday morning, when he expired at four
o'clock, perfectly resigned. Thus, by one indiscreet
act, has a family been deprived of a most valuable
member; for a more promising boy did not exist.

WHITEBOY OUTRAOR.S.—Tuesday night, four out;
Ages were burned on the lands of 1341finvolOg, in tl-,
-South. Liberties of Cork; onthe new Kinsale tbrie.
and not more than three miles from town. Up to ti:t
first of this month, the farm on which these houses
stood had-been held by a man named Cornelius Bryan,
and his son. These men owed their landlord a larze
debt, (upwards of 2001) which was compounded by his
taking from them a quantity of corn, value about sot
and allowing them to carry away froM the lands (whel
a surrender was accepted on the Ist inst.) three horse,.
five cows, several heifers, thirty-one sheep, three hogi;
stacks of oats, and a quantity of hay. On Sunday 1;,,t
a notice was posted on one of the doorc, t!ileateuitl
death and damnation" to any one who should tik,Tt!,,:
lands; and on Tuesday night the houses, as me
stated, were set on fire. The buildings consumed t1e•~
a range, consisting of a barn, a milk-house, a stab:,:
and a potatne-house. The whole of the office; and titer.
the dwelling-house would have been consumed hut fot
the exertions of some individuals who reside near ;Le
spot. The dwelling-house being paid), slated, is as t.ct
on fire only in the thatched portion, which was the et,ly
part injured.—Cork Adrertiset.

The quantity of oil and whalebone brought to Bia
this fishing season is, from Greenland, 871 tuns of olt
and thirty-three tons and a half of whalebone, the pri..
duce of eighty-one fish and a half; from Davis Strait;
2346 tuns of oil, and 1091 tuns of whalebone.
One of those rare birds, The silk-tail-chatterer (ilityc.
lis Garrulus), was caught a few days ago in the nvig
bourhood of Melville. This is one of the most beatittici
of our occasional visitants lions Attic Circle, and ha;
been seen in Britain only at long intervals. The press,:
one corresponded very exactly with Bewick's
tion, and had on each wing six of those flat vermilliln.
coloured horny appendages, which form :o peculiar 4
characteristic of the bird ; when caught it appearel
much exhausted, and on being put into a dark cage
a few of the haw; of the evergreen thorn, rejecting tie!
seeds ; but died in the course oldie night.—Elie Herald.
The sage Dr. Johnson was once displeased with his
friend, Sir Joshua Reynolds, for painting him h Wing
a book near his eyes—or rather eye, for the greAt
cographer was unaculous, and near-sighted to boot. Mrs.
Thrale rallied her illustrious friend, on his complaining
of the composition of this picture, and said, " Why, Sir
Joshua has consented to have his picture taken whit his
ear trumpet in his hand." "He may be painted by
another, or paint himself as deaf as he pleases," seplted
the Doctor, "but I object to be known to posterity as
blinkiag Sam."

Kent-road, Mr. Wm. S. T. Baughan, upwards of 30 years a Clerk
in the Bank.
Dec. 16, in the Clapham-road, G. Clagget, Esq. aged 22. Mr.
C. had been at a fox-Runt near Hastinos, and on his return at night,
dismounted from his horst, which broke from him, and hi pursu-
ing it, owing to the darkness of the night, got into a pond, in which
he was found the next morning, with only his head and shoulders
above water. Medical aid was procured, and resuscitation re-
stored; hut he died next day.
Dec. 19, aged 65, at his house attached to the Police Office, in
Ilatton Garden, of which he had been sevenl year. an active Ma-
gisttate W. M. Sellon, Esq. Mt.. S. was also a County Magis-
trate, &airman of the. Committee of the House of Cm rection,
and brother to Mr. Serjeant Sellon.
Dec. 5, at Dumfries, James APKay, a pensioner, aged 92. Ile
was about forty years in the army, fifteen of which he spent in the
72d, and twenty in the 42d Highland regiment. James was feel-
ingly alive whenevei his honour was called in question. A Gentle-
man in Dumfries, with whom he was house servant, having a few
friends to dinner one day, and knowing James's weak side, con-
trived to change the discourse on his entering the room with a load
of plates, and began declaiming, with much severity, on the base
and cowardly conduct of the 42d Regiment, in having turned tail
and fled before an inferior number of Yankees, on a certain suppose'
occasion. James, as was expected, stopped short on hearing this
calumny against his darling corps, and, looking his master full iu
the face, the fire flashing front his eyes, he immediately, in the ge-
nuine highland accent, exclaimed, " Its a lee, Sir ; a say, Sir, its
a tatu'd lee—an' ye'er a' Got tam. 4 leears tegither." lie conclu-
ded by dashing the plates on the floor, and did what he had never
done before an enemyjed, from the presence of his master in high
wrath, which it required some time to appease.
Dec. 15, aged 83, Mr. Francis Blisset, comedian, many years
one of the most popular actors of the Bath Theatre. Nearly half
a century has elapsed since Mr. Basset, accompanied by the late
highly esteemed Mr. Dimond, made his first appearance, and from
that time till the termination of his professional career, his talents
and respectability secured to him the actor's best reward—the fa-
vour of the public. In 1778, he made his deist* before a London
audience at the Haymarket Theatre, and acted there several sum-
mers, under the management of the elder Colman. After a lapse
of 25 years, he again essayed his fortune in the metropolis, and
was very favourably received ; but being more than 60 years of age,
the bustle of London ill accorded with his habits, and he returned
to his friends and patrons, whose kindness followed him till his re-
tirement from public life, about 10 or 12 years since. Old age and
infirmity of late made him a recluse, but a small circle :of ancient
friends survive, who regarded him living, and regret him dead.
At Throckley• Fell, Ann Jamieson, aged 102. She resided at
Bambrough 58 years, and was one of the greatest spinners of the
North. What is remarkable, she has, in the last twelve months,
spun upwards of 40 yards of cloth for the use of her son, although
she has been blind upwards of three years ; and it was with great
difficulty she could be kept from her wheel on the day of her death.
Friday sc'nnight, as a labouring man of the name of John Sutton,
was digging in a sand-pit, in the parish of Selling, be imprudently
undermined the bank too far, when the whale gave way, and buried
him beneath; immediate assistance was rendered Mtn, but without
elect, as the vital spark was extinct.
