manoeuvres, in conjunction with the Artillery stationed there,
was very imposing. Several of the Officers of the Ist Royal
Dragoons, the Southern Regiment of Yeomanry, and many
others were present, and the ground was kept by some of the
troops of the Southern Regiment. /There was an immense con-
course of spectators.—On Tuesday night the ball and supper
given by Lord GRANTHAM and the Officers to the inhabitants of
Pontefract and its neighbourhood, were attended by upwards of.
250 of the Fashionables; and the latter reflected great credit
upon the provider, Mr. Tuve. The whole passed off with great
satisfaction; and the company did not retire till a late hour.
LIZUTENANT-GLNERAL SIR ORRIS PACC.—The remains of this
distinguished Officer reached Dublin on the evening of the 7th,
in the Palmerston packet, from Bristol, and next morning the
funeral procession moved on its way to Kilkenny, where the
body is to be interred. At nine o'clock the coffin wai landed,
and during' the ceremony, minute guns were fired from two
pieces of artillery placed contiguous to the quay for that pur-
pose. At ten o'clock the procession formed in the following
order:—A party of the 10th llussars ; eight mutes; the hearse,
drawn by six horses, conveying the coffin, which was covered
with crimson velvet, and mounted with gold. The heave was
hung with escutcheons, on which the family arms of the de-
ceased, as well as the several English and Foreign Orders which
had been conferred upon him, were richly emblazoned. Sir C.
GRANT, accompanied by his Aides-de-Camp, rwle close to the

carriages were filled with servants, &c. A squadron of the 10th

SURREY THEA T E.—ThisTheatre opened 12st even-
ing for the winter season, under circumstances of some
promise. Among the additions to the corps drama.
apse' we noticed Miss KIMBELL, a beautiful girl (a
pupil of Mr. BENGOUGH'S), Mrs. W. BARRYMORE,
Mrs. FITZWILLIAMI,Mr. GALLOT, Mr LOVRDAY, Mr.
FITZWAYLETT, &c. ,In two of the Pieces chosen for
representation last night, very little scope was given
to the talents of the company. The first was the story
of the two sons of 4:Rdipus. It was got up in a splendid
style, with scenery, dresses, and decorations not un-
worthy ofour Winter Theatres, at this side the Thames.
Mrs. W. BARRYMORE, in the second Piece, Winning
a Husband, performed seven or eight different cha-
racters with much versatility of manner, and was
lotidly applauded. The House was crowded.
COBURG THEATRE.—Last night a new Melo-Dra-
matii Romance+, entitled Thalaba the Destroyer, was '
produced at this Theatre. It is taken.from the Poem
of that name by Mr. SOUTHEY, and the adherence to
the original fable is closely preserved. Mr. HUNT-
LEY, as Thalabar.caUeci forth loud applause. Miss
EDMISTON personated the heroine, Oneira, and ac-
quitted herself to the entire satisfaction of. the au-
dience. The Piece throughout was very favourably
received. The scenery was rich and appropriate,
and a grand procession, in which Thalaba appeared
mounted on a war elephant, was particularly admired.
The House was weil attended.

VAUXHALL GARDXNS last night were extremely
well attended, and the Entertainments gave universal
satisfaction. The Proprietors had given directions
that nothing should be wanting to add to the splendour
and magnificence of the Gardens; and the suc-
cession of the Amusements kept the attention con-
stantly on the alert.
Yesterday, an Inquest was held at the Dundee
Arms Nightingale-lane, on the body of W. Bushnell,
servant to Mr. Sparks, potatoe-dealer, of Fleet-mar-
ket, who, on the sth inst. went to Billingsgate to get
oysters ; and, in crossing from one boat to another,
fell in ; and though attempts were instantly made to
extricate him, he was drawn under the vessel, and
drowned. Yea dia--Accidental Death. The de-
ceased was 24 years of age, and his wife had lain a
only one week.
M ETEOa. An 'immense Meteor passed over the
Ochill Hills, in Scotland, from south to north, on
Wednesday morning about one o'clock. It surpassed
in brilliancy the noon-day sun, and appeared to dis-
sipate in a long train of electric fire.
Tuesday, at Sunderland, two young men were
severely hurt by the northern practice of firing guns
at a wedding. The ramrod went through the hand
of one, and the other had his arm broken.

Saturday evening, about eight o'clock, a Gentle-
man got out of his gig to (peak to a friend at Knights-
bridge, when,by some accident, the horse took fright,
and ran with great fury towards Hyde Park-corner,
to the imminent danger of all before it. On its ar-
rival at the turnpike, one of the wheels came in con-
tact with the post with tremendous violence, which
not only had the effect of impeding the progress of
the affrighted animal, but the jirk caused it to rear,
and it was thrown as it were a complete summerset,
and fell with such violence on its head that it was
killed upon the spot, and the chaise was completely
destroyed. Fortunately no further accident occurred.
FLRE.—The upper part of the premises of Mr. Gil-
ling, Upper Charles-street, Goswell-street-road, was
nn Saturday night, about teu o'clock, discovered to
be in Haines. In one of the rooms to which the fire
had extended before an alarm was given, there lay an
infant child asleep, and who was, before she could be
released, so dreadfully burnt that she has since died.
The man who ventured into the room to:rescue the
child from its perilous situation was also much
scorched. The fire was got under by about eleven
o'clock, without extending itself beyond the house in
which it commenced. _ _

DREADFUL Accromsz.—Wednesday morning, at
two o'clock, A. N. J. Hopkins, Esq. of Cottage-ter-
race, Dublin, was discovered, in his bed-chamber, ac-
tually in a blaze! It appears that the unfortunate
Gentleman had been reading in bed ; and it is op-
posed that the candle had communicated with the
sleeve of his, shirt. He was found on the floor, scorched
in a terrible manner; and, although medical aid was
instantly procured, all efforts to save his life proved
unavailing ; he lingered for a short time, when he ex-
pired. Mr. Hopkins was advanced in years.
