Last night, abotit nine o'clock, the family '•of Mr.
James Udart, of Clifton-street, Ho:ton New Town,
were, thrown into the greatest grief, in consequence of
a dreadful accident that befel an only daughter, a
child about twelve .years of age. Miss Udert was
standing very near the kitchen fire, playing with a
favourite cat, when, by some means 'her dress'came in
contact with the bap of the Stove, and became instantly
in a Game, and the poor chili was enveloped in a huge
body of re. Her shrieks brought her parents to her as-
sistance ; and Mr. Udatt with great presence of mind,
threw his child'down, and covered her over with a piece
of carpet, by which means the flames were extinguished.
We regret to state that the little sufferer is so dreadfully
.injured about the chest from the burns, that very little
hopes are entertained of her ultimate recovery.

rested in Shipping, was held on the 23d of December

for the interference of Parliament to devise and adopt
some means to protect sailing vessels against the further
jaCtellie of steam vessels for the conveyance of goods,
was unanimously adopted, and ordered to be presented
to the House of Commons, through The medium of Sir

A new Melo-drama. in two acts, was produced last
night, under the titlJ of The ithrtdered Guest. Tot
Story. of thepietd is to the follo*ing effect :
Arica .Travellei ar4ihs tan ind kept by I Landlord (Emu)
and his Sister Mn. Wiesirattehdeil by a single Servant (C,a.p,,,),
fbe Traveller waken the parties actiitainted with the fact that Ur
bear. Ittouthiaa a coriiiderable quatility•of gold, ami the Gk, sj
robbing him Is separately entertained by his Servant and tu,
Landlord at the same time. When W has retired to rest, earl
detetweinee upon tie deed, bat the Settrant anticipates. his riaj,
Murders the victim, and has just tittle to fly at his approach. Tut
Landlord enters the room, and is found there with the bloody knit,
in his possession. The affaiks brought under judicial investigation,
ands vittlesy of eirtunistances,cotnbine to fie the guilt upan tut
Man whose** Wily guilty in intention. The real murderer
that be is about to cause the death of anotlwr whom be ,uPPAes
innocent, is overcome by remorse, and confesses to the perpetratiuu
of the horrid ditties the erect of his dangers, and of his .041 d,.,
delivetante, as likewise of his remorse for the guilty deign. he
had hafbotired, is to make the landlord fall senseless or dead—,„4
to bring the piece to an end.
EDWIN has the weight of the business upon his shout.
dersrand he supported it, if not with all the power and
effect which at some future time we look to find in hi,
exertions, at least with the feeling and rough tat nt
which induce the prospective comparison. CooPsa And
Mrs. Wesr lent their ciareful and able support to t e
piece. It is no little merit in the melo-drams itsrlf thAt
it obtained attention at such a season as the present, and
it went off, upon the whole, successfully.
The Men in the Mews shone net the brighter last night from has.
ing been partially " shorn•of his beams." Some curtailments bass
rendered the animation of the scene unceasing, and left an eacelkot
Pantomime, with which every body seemed delighted.

ilegded.forthcoming at the King's Theatre, holds out the prospect
or a great musical treat to amateurs. Zocuas.o sings his part in a
delightful 'style ;Ds Bunn* is-as ever irresistibly comic; Coulon
and Madame CAILAD6RI will complete its wires.. The auxiliaries
of Costumes, Scenery, and Ballets, must render this. Opera un.
uwally attractive. Mr. Estais operatic Plenipotentiary, Signor
Puzst, has already succeeded in securing an excellent contralto,
Madame Banal, whose arrival is daily expected. Mademoiselle
Atlost (whom the imptemria at Venice very reluctantly consented
to spar.), after. having overcome the great obstacles. thrown in the
way of her quitting Italy, wh:te her fame has rapidly spread, will
reach London early in January, when flosames beautiful Opera of
La Cam Laden will be produced for her debut. The manner in
which this drama is got up has cot been excelled by any Theatre in
Europe. Mademoiselle AM'S', in Nanette, eidadame Bassi, Pipe;
Fernando, Zucust.t.t; Giatindte,•ctiiiiolll; and the Padrsta, As
Bantus, need no further eulogium. Monsieur Bonita is preparing
a new Opera immediately to follow •this.

eeived the addresses of two men, who were considered by
their friends as belomithem in rank. They made an ap.
palomino with their lovers to bring them all the money
they could collect on a certain night, and Meet them at
an appointed place, for the purpose of eloping. One of
the females came some time before the other, and also
before the men ;•sbil concealed herself until the other
should attire. In a short timithemen came, and then
the other female. The pretended lovers seised her imme-
diately, took from her all the money she had, and threw
bet into a burning lime kiln. The female who hA3
been a concealed spectator, Bed as quickly and as
secretly as she could—overtook a carman, who con-
cealed her under hay on his car, until he came to the
nearest police station, where they informed the polio
of the transaction. They instantly went to the spote
where they found the murderers, and got the money to
