DOVER, Auciusr 19.

A French lugger. called lu Jenne Rose, of Boulogne,
25 tons, laden with 140 small casks of brandy and
Geneva, and manned with four Frenchmen and nine
British subjects, was captured yesterday morning, 'at
two r.m. near Dymchurch, by Lieut. CHAS. A; JOHNSON,
of the coast blockade, and a boat's crew. The parties
on board the French lugger having repelled the blockade
force in their attempt to board, by heaving large stones
into the bow of the-boat, and thereby endeavouring to
sink her, it became necessary, as no caution or menace
would influence them to desist from persevering in their
resistance, to fire into the lugger, when one of the
smugglers on board was shot, viz. John Philpot, an
inhabitant of Folkstone, and who, it is said, is mortally
wounded.

Blue striped shirts are novi'v,i,rn by Dandies and by
other more usasculiiie aspirants. They are considered an excellent
aiU for economists, as they are generaUy worn a week without
waiting.
.A singular case is mentioned in the last volume of
the kedical Journal, of the complete restoration of the hair on the
head in a person who bad become quite bald, by the use of a solu-
tion of sulphate of copper in French brandy. As the application,
.when used only once a day, cannot be injurious, it is worth a troi
in cases of baldness. •

Fars.—The premises of Messrs. STaria and Bum's-
ELI, blue-makers, Allrn-street, Goswell-streer, caught
fire about one o'clOck yesterday morning, and continued
burning till nearly four o'clock.; in the.course of which
time the whole of the premises, and property to the
amount of 1,0001. were destroyed. A number of en-
gines were speedily .brotight to the spot, and the ester-
tions of the firemen were of the most praiseworthy kind.
The premises were insured. •

The Tragedy of Macbeth was acted last Monday at
a tows in Suffolk, and amongst the audience was a man who had
been nearly fifty miles in the course of the day to see Corder, the
murderer, banged at Herr. Such was the belief entertained to the
last, in some parts of the county, that the extreme' penalty of the
law would not be inflicted, that the man who bad sekn him die
was so pestered on all sides for an account of the melancholy
speetade, that he literally betook himself to the Theatre to avoid
further importunities. Just as he entered, the fourth scene of the
Tragedy was commencing, and as he was quietly titling himself
down in a box near the stage, Duncan began in the words of the
author, as usual—
" Is exectitiln done on Cawdorr
" Yes, Sir," said the man ; I saw him hanged this morning, and
that's the last time I'll answer any more question% about It." The
audience were convulsed with laUghter at the strange mistake, and
it was some time before the performance could be proceeded with.
Monday David Williams, a labourer in the employ of
Messrs. Barclay and Perkins, got entangled with the
fly-wheel of the steam engine ; but as it was momentarily
stopped, his life was preserved, but it became necesary
to amputate one of his arms at the shoulder socket.
It the Judges were to certify ofrener than they do, in'
cases of frivolous actions, for what are called libels, and
where trifling damages are given, the Court would be
saved much time and trouble, and • the public business
would not be delayed and obstructed by paltry actions
brought by ihtseppractitioners, with no other view than
to pocket the immoderate costs incurred by such actions.
