This attracted the attention of a number of people who were passing along the dock at the time, who got upon a stage throwtn between the quay and a ship for landing merchadise,iRorder to observethe dexterity of the boys. This stage, being crowded wvith above3o spectators, suddenlygave way, prqcipitating all who were on it into the water. Every exertion was instantly used to resseue the unfortunate per- sons, many of whom were resuscitated, after having been in the water some time. Six, however, we lament to ztate, were drown&e before they could be resened from the waterv element.

The remains of Lord Bvron wdTre removed yesterday from the brig Florida, at anchor off the Londen Docks, to Great George-street, W7es:minster. On transferring them to the coffin, they were found to retain exactly the same appearance as when thcv were first embalmned. The removal took place wvith the utmost pri- vacy, underthe superintendence of Mr. Hobhouse, who accompa. nme, tne barge that carried the body from the ship to the shore. The place ofthe funeral is not fially determined upon; but as the nearre- lations and representativs of the deceased have exprcssed an axious deszrettaarheshould beinterredin thefamilv vaultat Ifucknell,in Not. tinghatmslhire, it isprobable thattheir rishes will be complied with ; al- thougle fr.

A Paris letter says-" Don Miguel has visited imost of the public establishments in Paris. During the late processions of the Fete Die-l, fer a little body he made a great figure. It is said at Paris, that his permission to travel in Earope for a certain time, is understood to be for the lifetime of his father at least. His person is small, his features ordinary, and without anyv expression of intel- ligence. It is singular that in our days a Princeof the Blood Royal, and Presumptive heir to a European throne, should be ignorant of the French language." lWe have sincere pleasure in announcing that it is the in- tention of Lard Milton to visit his estates in eL-land immediately, witb the view of ascertaining the state of his tenantrv.

The Duke of Rutland is going to give up the turf-a cir- cumstance to be regretted in the sporttng world.

The following is an extract of a letter from Wear, near Axbridge, Somersetshire:-" A shocking accident has taken place a few miles from us. It is said that whilst foar men were mowing, they complained to their master that their elder was not good. He replied that they should have better, went home, and tapped as he thought,bis best, and sent it to them. They had not drank it long be- fore they were all takcen ill. A gentleman was riding by at the uime, tO who the men complainedl of their being ilL He then went to their master and askged what cider he hadX given them; he said, " Good, come taste it." The gentleman and the master both drank of it. became ill, and died. as did also the four meu.

THE PEErETUAL MOTION.-The Charleston Cvarier says-" WVe vesterday saw a hundred dollar bank-bill of one of our city banks, upon the back of which were inscribed the lines which follow.

This reminds us oF a poetical wish of an aneient author, in reference to the success of his work,- -May this book continue in motion, " And its leaves every dav be unf url'd, " 'Tlli anl alt to the dregs drinks the ocean, " Aind a tortoise crawls over the world." A fire broke out last night, soon after ten o'clock, at Mar- riot's cotton-mantufactory, Compto3-street, Clerkenwell.

SCAItCITY IN THE SOUTr1{ OF ILELAND.-COMnMissarv General luscombe has returned from the mission on which he .3 deputed to the county Galway by otur vigilant and excellent Chief Governor.

The great distress of the lower orders has been occasioned by the want of emplovment; and to the same saurce may be attributed, perhaps, mucli of those disturbances which disgrace our country. 1; that part of it under the Commissionary-General's iltspeetion, this want might have been truly calamitoas, were it not promptly v lt an end to.
