HOLY ALLIANCE. —The following curious document
appears in the Caledonian eller,:te, y of Monday List

The President of the Russian Bible Society, Prince Galli-
zein, haring received a Letter from an uolettown person in z;eut.
land, writer.' in French, and signed" UN t: ECOPOII it ," lit which
she gives veil to tier Christian feelings with rigsrd to the Sacred
Alliance; esp he respect she entertains fur the person of
imrtrial hlajesty ; the deep interest she takes in the succev,
of the Bible Society; and her benevolent disposition towards it,
re.j,idciee ; it hi. duty to inform this unknown individual,
through the medium of the public Newspau• rs, that he feels
himself much obliged by her letter, which breathes so much of
the genuine spirit of Christianity.
" Although unacquainted with tier name, yet finding her feel-
ings to be of such a oatureshe cannot help participating in them in
the most lively manner. In the present day such acquaintances
are become more general than was formerly the cave;. the Bible
Soaieties, in particular, having contributed to bring about a more
Intimate connection between all parts of the world, inasmuch as
they have for their sole object the diffusion of the Word of Guo
in all languages throughout the whole earth, and, by this means,
to bring all men to the knowledge of Hist, who is the Way, the
Truth, and the Life. The joy expressed by the anonyntaus in-
dividual at the Sacred Alliance of the Monarchs, is most reason
able. How should not every awakened soul rejoice when it con-
templates such a solemn recognizance, by all the European Soy..
reigns, of Jesus Guam. as the. King of the whole earth, the Lord
of all—He, of vehoseisecond coming on the esith, the Scrip:lnes
have prophesied, that‘hr should pear as King of kings and Lord
of lords, to be glorified where he was despised, and where he shed
his precious blood far the salvation of mankind.
the Alliance is certainly the work of Gou. Who can doubt
It? The sole object it has in view is the glory of the Saviottr.—
Upon him, the bead-stone of the corner, without which uo buiLl-
ing can stand, is grounded this union of love, of humility, and of
self-denial. It Is a Proclamation trom the MUST Elton, puhlishi..i
for the purpose of awakening the world, that those who have
ears might bear, and those who have eyes m gist see.
" Let us entreat our Loan, that all the nations might follow
the call of their Sovereigns, preaching to them front their thrones
conversion to the truth, that they may wilbngly receive that
kingdom, which is not of this world, and which shall have stn
cud, and thus learn to kunw the Loan of all their mercies.
"The unknown Scotch Lodi is also hereby infotmed,that her
letter has been handed up to the Emperor ALLY A NOCII, who has
received it with satisfaction, and thanks her fur the feelings

COVEN T-GA RDEN TO EATRE..—TODIN 9S Play of The
Curfew was revived last night at this Theatre, for
the purpose of introduciu Mr. &wilt to the public,
in the part of Fitzhordutz , in %%Inch he has displayed
fresh claims to admiration, and added to the solidity
Of his fame. As his confidence in his own powers
increases, under the fostering smile of public favour,
those powers develope theniselves with greater ttle:et
and more striking originality. As far as nature is
concerned a rescrnhhince. certainly. still continues
to exist between him and Mr. KEAN ; but Mr.
Bourn last night avoided all those peculiarities of
action which are thou3lit to belong exclusively t.' his
rival. lie followed only the inspirations of his own
genius, and his performance lost nothing in justness
or energy. Our limits will not permit us to follow
him throughout his various beauties ; and we rims!,
therefore, content ourselves with observing gene-
rally, that nothing could be more successful or effec-
tive than ttis performance in every part. Ilia last
scenes had particular importance, and drew Joni)
thunders of applause. The house was well filled. The
Duke and Duchess of Gboucararra were present.
Mrs. RIMAUD (formerly Mil. 'POWELL, of Covent-

with-equal judgment by Mr. Mr WOOD.

CORONIRIPS INQUiLSTS.—.An Inquisition was taken
yesterday, at the Middlesex Hospital, on the body of
Charlotte, wile of John Pangbourne, who died in
consequence of being dreadfully burned.— John
Pangbourne, the husband of the deceased, depo-
sed, that he lived at No. 55, Castle-street, Oxford-
Market. Sunday morning, about nine o'clock, he
went into the next street nu an errand, and left his
wile at home in a room on the first floor ; she was
rather intoxicated at that time, and. he was sorry to
say, that she had been in the daily habit of taking
spirits to excess. He returned home again in about
ten minutes, when she was in the area, and her
clothes were in a blaze; he got some water which
stood in a pail and threw it over her ; he then pulled
her garments off with his hands, and conveyed her
ia a coach to the Hospital. where she died the next
day. Verdict—Accidental Death.
Yesterday an Inquisition was held, at the sign of
the Duke of Gloucester, Horton. on the body of
Mrs. Elisabeth Hopkins.—Mr. E. Clarke deposed,
that on Monday night last be was requested by the
Rev. Mr. Wilson. the occupier of the house where
the deceased lodged, to accompany him to her room;
they knocked at the door but received no answer ;—.
some other person joined them, when witness forced
open the door, which was locked on the inside. The
deceased was lying upon her back on a maims upon
the Boor, quite dead ; she was covered with an old
coat and some rags, which witness believed was her
usual way of sleeping ; her arms and toes were
gnawed by the rats. There was plenty of victuals in
the room, oue bottle with rum in it, and another with
some gin, was st-nding by her. She had not been
seen from the Saturday preceding. She was ay.ro-
man of singular habits, and no one ever had been in
her room for many years.—The Rev. Mr. Wilson
confirmed the above testimony. Verdict—Died by
the Visitation of Gos.

An Inquisition has been taken on the body of W.
Flatfoot, of Thetford, who was found dead in the
snow on Friday morning. He was 60 years of age,
and had been to Bury to accompany his son home,
who had just been discharged from jail. It appeared
that they had stopped on the road, and got intoxica-
ted j that the son being scarcely able to walk, his
father bad prevailed upon him to ride his horse,
which be did, and left his lather, and, after proceed-
ing to Rymer, took shelter in an not-horse at a little
distance trout the road, where he remained all night,
but did not interest bihyselt about the fate of his father
whom he bad left behind. The poor old man, af-
ter penceeding oo foot about tour miles alone, fell
down, and was found in the morning covered with
snow.—Verdict—t)'ed through weakness and the in•
Clemency of the weather, and having been inhumanly
kit oo too rod by his son.
