The subscriptions fur the " National Testimonial.'
at Dublin, appear to have lost their stimulus since ti,e
departure of his Majesty. The total, to the 12th o:
September, amounted only to 9,096/. 9s. 2.1.
On Saturday next, the King's squadron is expected to
be in readiness. for sea. During his Majesty's stay in D.: i).
lin, the crew of the Royal George had an open bone,
where they regaled each day free of expense. By tit,
better informed it is positively said, that the King w:l
proceed to Dover for embarkation, and sail ittonediate:y
for Calais harbour. From the proximity of the opposite
coasts, this is infinitely more probable than his Majesty's
taking his departure from a remoter part of the Chant:6.
In consequence of its having been suggeste.l by s+•-
feral Noblemen and Members of Parliament, who a' i
Members of the New Union Club House. which :s
forming on the plan of the United Service Club, that
the intended situation in Regent-street, near Hanover-
square. would be found very inconvenient by its di ,-
tance from the Houses of Lords and Contemns, an ar•
rangement has been entered into, by which the ur iv
line of Pall-mall, near the Opera House, is fixed on,
and where a superb mansion is in a ferwatd state for
the reception of the Members of the Club.
The inhabitants of Sheffield are about to introduce

THE FIRE INGH4C6CHUIRCH-STHIRET.—BESideI the 2
i firemen and turncock, there was a fourth wan lost la
life at the above calamitous fire, whose name was n 4.;
known until yesterday; his name was George Itos.;, a
journeyman carpenter; he lived at 49, Parker-stree*.
I Drury-lane, where he bore a good character; from his
wife's statement, it appears that he and she were at
market, after which, they went into a public-house at a
late hour on Saturday night week (the night the dread f.:l
fire broke out) ; she went home and left hint in the publi..-
house, since which hour she had not seen him ; not COlll.
ing home that night, she feared he might have got int-.
some scrape, and she made inquiry at differeut watch -
houses; hearing nu account of him, she inquired on
'Monday at the different Police Offices, but without sw: •
leess : alto afterwards inquired at the various prisons an.l
hospitals; but her search proved fruitless ; at lengths
from the circumstance of his being missing since tlil
night of the fire, she began to suppose he might be thit
person whose body war not owned. An inquest sat on
the bodies, and they were buried last Sandy. The dis-
consolate woman repaired to make the neces'ary in-
quiry, and from the stockings and some fragments of
clothes, she was convinced they were those of her unfor-
tunate husband, it is conjectured that he had accom-
panied the fire engines and assisted the firemen.
Keseuttort.—.lt wilt be recollected that N. J.
Gard, who was convicted at the Bothnia Summer As-
sises, of the wilful murder of Henry Hoskin; at Bog-
castle, vras.by the humanity of Baron Graham, re-
spited until the 10th instant, in consequence of the
unprepared state the unhappy criminal was represent-
ed to be in, for undergoing the awful sentence of tits
law within the usual time prescribed for the execution of
murderers. At first he seemed todiregard the indulgence
thus showil him, and appeared violent, hardened, and
impertinent I. bat, by the unremitting exertions of the
Rev. Mr. Feyrer, the Vhaplain of Bodmin prison, he
was brought to a proper seise of his situation, and
before his execution acknowledged that he had led a
very wicked life, though be hoped 'that be was not out
of the reach of -mercy, and that he died in peace with
all mankind. The time allowed_by the respite having
expired, on Monday morning last. at ten o'clock, he
was led to the drop adjoining -the gaol, to which he
walked with a firm step, and having reached it. knelt&
short time is prayer with the Chaplain, to whom be
repeated that he pnt.bis trust in Jesus, and died in
charity with all men. He expressed contrition for
what he had done, forgave all his enemies, and said
he was not afraid to die. In little more than ten
minutes from his first appearance on the scaffold, he
gave the signal, when he was launched into eternity,
and died without a struggle.
