AMATEURPERFORMANCE.—We have now to announce,
in addition to the facts in another paragraph relative to
the same subject as affecting Manchester, that the bene-

volent literati who are to appear in a night's theatrical
performance there for the benefit of Mr. Leigh Hunt, the
veteran writer, purpose to extend their appeal in the same
behalf to this town, in which they will appear, at the

heatre Royal, on the 28th inst. The pieces to be per-
formed are well selected ; and we have no doubt but that
the attendance, from the object in view, as well as the
literary eminence of the dramatis personae, will be nume-
rous and respectable.

FALL OF A CORN WAREHOUSE.-011 Tuesday night,
shortly before eleven o'clock. an alarm of fire was given
as having taken place in Suffolk-street, but which was
immediately after countermanded, the true cause being
that of the fall of a large bonded warehouse, No. 829. in

Suffolk-street, one of a lofty range commonly known as
Poole's warehouses. The one in question was in the oc-
cupation of Mr. Richard Gibson, corn broker, of No. 6,
Hanover-street, late of No. 27, Salthouse Dock, and was
heavily stored with grain in the three first compartments.
The topmost- of the three partially giving way, and the
quantity of grain stored up being very large, the lower

BILLErriNo OF SOLDIERS.—The Secretary of the
Licensed Victuallers' Society of this town has received a
communication from the war-office (in reply to an appli-
cation) respecting the case of Mrs. Farnworth, the de-
tails of which were given at length in the various Liver-
pool papers immediately subsequent to the hearing of the
case before Sir Joshua Walmsley, to the effect that it is
not practicable to fix by the mutiny act or by regulation,
the precise hour at which a soldier billetted in a march,
upon an innkeeper, shall be entitled to claim to be fur-
nished with his hot meal; but that considering the circum-

le window

stances under which M

ti was convi

having to furnish such a meal, the Secretary at War is
of opinion that the conduct of the soldier was irregular
and vexatious ; and he has accordingly directed the gene-
ral agent for the recruiting service to remit to Mrs. Farn-
worth the full amount of the penalty levied upon her.

ther 20 ; while the number of hands employed full time
was 20,399, on short time 3,221, and wholly out of em-
ploy 8290. This, compared with last month's return,

time of 24, a decrease ofthose working short time of 12,

a decrease of hands working short time of 3509, and of

EXTRAORDINARY COURAGE.-011 Saturday morning,
a youth about 18 years of age, son of a gentleman well
known in this town, was proceeding along Bury New-
road, when he was either met or overtaken by a dog

which bit the little finger pf his left hand. He imme:
diately made after the dog, which bore every appearance
of being in a rabid state, and killed it ' • then, remember-
ing the fatal consequences from the bite of a mad dog,
and thinking he might have imbibed the hydrophobic poi-
son, he deliberately took out a penknife and cut off the
finger by the first joint. After this he went to the office

ing, further notice of the mat

and went

one of what had happened. At fast, 'however, a quail.:
tity of blood oozing fromthe wound led to detection, when
he was sent to Mr. Jordan, surgeon, of Bridge-street,
who, on examining the extremity, found it . necessary to
amputate the finger at the second joint. This the youth
bore with the same indifference as he did the pain which
he must have caused himself whilst practising the surgical
art upon his own person ; the operator in the latter ease
declaring he had never before met with a patient who
showed such great indifference to pain. After the ope-
ration was over he went to business as usual, and told us
yesterday that his finger was again. " all right."—Man-
