SIRMORR. APRIL 18.—Our Easter Assembly took
plosoloight.and was attended by all the beauty and fashion for
trims td. The Bali was under the direction of W. PMilimore,
Eel. Webber, Esq. C. Hamilton, Esq. W. Cape% Esq. and W.
Freeway, Esq. Stewards, and was held as usual at the Abercora
Arms. The room was elegantly and tastefully lighted up, and the
scene altogether was very enlivening. Dancing commenced at tea
o'clock. The refreshments were .f the tint order—the company
did not separate until a late hour.
The remains of the late Earl of SHRILWSRURT arrived
at the Star Inn, Oxford, on Thursday. At six o'clock on Friday
morning the procession left that city and proceeded to Heythrep,
the seat of the deceased, where the body was Interred.
A Gentleman, who had the misfortune to be called
Meconas, in a copy of verses dedicated to him by
one of his poetical acquaintances, took it into his
head to conceive a violent passion for literature, and
to invite to his table all the Poets and Players he
could meet with. He was not without company,
for many a wit finds it more convenient to dine at
the table of a fool than at a tavern. At a dinner
party which he lately gave, some of his guests were
about to retire rather early, alleging as an excuse,
that they were going to see Othello. " Who's
Othello that you run away from your wine for him ?
You'll never find him at home at this hour." " Its a
tragedy.by Shakspeare, one of our first Poets." le Alt,
where does Sbakspeare live? I'll ask him to dinner."
OLD Cop/IL—Last week, whilst the wailers were
employed in pulling down an old house belonging to
Mr. SLEDDALE, of Raw Head, Hutton, for the purpose
of rebuilding, they discovered, lying in the wall, about
five feet from the ground, an old leathern bag, contain-
ing silver coin to the amount of 391.6 d. in half-crowns
and -shilling pieces, coined in the several reigns of
CHARLES 1. CHARLES 11. JAMES, WILLIAM 111. Ante,
and Geortaa 1. besides a number of halfpennies scat-
tered in various parts of the wall. It appears from their
date, and the decayed state of the bag, that they must
have been lying there nearly an hundred years.—West-
nroreland Advertiser.

CHATHAM, APRIL 22.—This morning, about two
o'clock, a dreadful fire broke out on the Military Road,
which threatened destruction (from the freshness of the
wind) to the whole row of houses leading into Chatham.
The fire engines belonging to the Kent and Sun Offices,
and one from the Marine Barracks, were soon on the
spot, and a plentiful supply of water was obtained from
the brewery of JAMRS Beer, Esq. and after great exer-
tions of the military and inhabitants, a stop was happily
put to the devouring element, after completely destroy.
ing four houses and nearly a fifth. We are glad to
state no lives were lost. It is not three months since a
similar accident happened on the same spot, when two
houses only were destroyed.
An Inquest was held at the Cock and Magpie, in
Battlobridge, on the body of Sarah Norton, a laundress,
who died in consequence of liming been severely scalded while
taking a pail of boiling water from the copper. Verdict...." Acci-
dental Death."

Yesterday, an Inquest was held at the Stag, Castle-
lane, Westminster, on the body of T. Nailer, a Chelsea pensioner,
who, at the Crown in York-street, while playing at skkdes, after
delivering the ball, exclaimed " Oh! I have hurt myself;" and
instantly fell to the ground. He was Immediately taken to theWest-
nsineter Hospital, but was dead ere his arrivaL It appeared he had
enjoyed general good health previously, exempt that for the last 114.
months he had been subject to rbetunatic drectloss. Verdict—.
a Died by the Visitation of Sots."

LORD COCHRANE.

TRIESTE, Aria la

During the celebration at Nauplia of the late victorlei
obtained over the Tut ks, salutes of artillery from the
fortress of P.lamide announced the arrival of Lord
Cochrane. This brave mariner entered the port
Nauplia on the 16th of March. Scarcely was the name
of this new Messiah for Greece heard, when all the per,
lation hastened to the port. In a few minutes the whole
shore was lined with men of all ages and classes, and
the women, impatient to see the long expected hero.
WOO filled the ramparts of the fort. Lord Cochrane no
sooner stepped ashore, than the cries of joy bunt forth
on every side. No just idea can be given of the scene.
We are assured that Lord Cochrane and all his suite
were much affected by the enthusiasm of the Greeks,
He entered Nauplia amidst reiterated cries of II Coo.
rata and Liberty." 'The women on the walls scattered
garlands of Lowers on him. The Government Com-
mission has rendered all possible honour to the hero
who comes to embrace the cause of Greece. Thi, new
defender of Grecian liberty has had some conferences
with the Greek leaders, and he had determined to sail
a three days Kith 15 ships under his command. wt
know not whither be intends to direct his course ; but
he has found every thing be had required ready. It,
Cr.ick. who have conversed with him are full of en.
shusiasio. They recognise in him a man who does not
lose his time, but who is eager for action. Accounts
from Zante state, that this news having reached that
island, three regiments of volanteers were formed there,
and their Chiefs are only waiting for a favourable op.
portunity to ship them for the Peloponnesur. We trust
that this year will prove a fortunate one for Greek in-
depeadeace. Every thing is favourable, and the spring
Oimiseemees minder promising auspices for Greece.
PARIS, Amu. 21.

Lady Cochrane has arrived la Paris. She could not
have come at a moment mete opportune or more glo.
rims than on the ♦ery day on which we leaned that
Lord Cochrane bad entered Naoplia. A few weeks
more and a new prospect will open for Greece. All the
friends of the Hellenic cause should now unite
make a last and necessary effort. The French haw
hitherto shown too much generosity and affection for
this great cause to allow their zeal to cool at the no.
meat of need.

NAPLES, Aran. a.
PRIVATE LITTER.--" I say nothing to you upon.
affairs of Greece, because you have mach earlier intelli.
fence always by Ancona. It would seem, however, that
LordCochrane* first endeavours were directed to putting
an end to the Greek piracies ; and now he is bringing to-
gether and making h lends two or three powerful Leaden
of rhe Greek forces, who, jealous of each other, had well
aigh, by their private broils, ruined their country's cane.
Divided impera, has been the policy of the Turk the'
Inc) years, and too successfully has it operated in the
campaign. They were the private quarrels of
Greeks that weighed so heavily upon poor Lord Byron't
'mind, and paralised all his efforts, and ultimately broke
his heart. We expect Admiral Sir E. Codrington here
in a few days from Malta. The reports he has received
of late from the Morea are extremely favourable to
Greeks, and the piracies are much less frequent, so
be will defer his visit to the Archipelago till perhaps
September. Poor Count Gamba is dead; he has''
/lived his friend Byre* but a short time."
