NANNERCH. I REJOICINGS ON THE COMIXO OF AGE OF MISS LLOYD, NANNERCH HALL, FLINTSHIRE, j The beautiful little village of Nannerch and its vicinity, for three or four miles round, was the scene of great rejoicings on Monday week, the 11th inst., consequent ou the coming of age (if Miss Lloyd, the only child of Llewelyn Falkner Lloyd, Esq., one of the county ma- gistrates, of Nannerch Hall, Flintshire. The road through the village, with its picturesque avenue of trees, had several triumphal arches, and was most tastefully decorated \v4thilaj4s, banners, &c bearing different mottoes, family crests, &c., &c. UUn'rafon, Hundre, Kfel Barsey, and other places on the road to Nannerch, had likewise their display of triumphal arches and other devices, bignifying the joyous event whilst all the hills and promontories adjacent were well fortified with cannot), all of which kept brisk tire, saluting each other's report successively; the village bells raug mtvily all the day, and the inhabitants of the whole neighbourhood appeared in full holiday attire, with countenances gladdened with joy. At two o'clock, upwards of 160 persons partook of a substantial dinner at the Sun Inn, under the presidency ■ of John Catherall, I-squire, of Mold; the Vice-chaira being well filled by Edward Williams, Esquire, Uolfech- las, and John Lloyd, Esquire, Ty'nycaeau, Cilcen. After the cloth was drawn, the chairman proposed the uaud loyal toasts, after which followed the toast of the day, Miss Hoyd, ofNannerch Hall, wishing hennany happy returns of the day.Tlw worthy chairman, amongst other pithy remarks said, that whilst London that day had its hero, in the person of that renowned General Garibaldi, they likewise at Nannerch had their heroine, to whom he was sure, they, one and all, wished to do honour with as warm a heart as any that beat with enthusiasm in the great metropolis at that moment, greeting the Italian Liberatorthis brought forth tremendous cheering, as did also some of the other toasts, especially that of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd, Nannerch Hall; Lord and Lady Mostyn, &c., &c.(—the band playing national airs during the intervals. At four o'olock, a grand procession, four deep, was formed at the Sun (about half a mile distant from the Hall), preceded by the band They marched np to Nan- nerch, and entered the grounds under the splendid arch erected at the front gateway, and formed half a circle around the spacious green, facing the drawing room, where they were welcomed by the respected pro- prietor, Llewelyn Falkner Lloyd, Esquire Mrs. Lloyd, Miss Lloyd, and their guests; the Right Honourable Lord Mostyn the Right Honourable Lady Mostyn, the Right Honourable Miss Mostyn, the Right Honourable Elizabeth Mostyn; the Honourable Major Mostyn, of the 23ni Welsh Fusileers, the Honourable T. Price Lloyd, Pengwern; Rev. Thomas Lloyd, Hector of Christleton Rev. E. Evans, Halkyn Rectory; James Maurice, Esq., Ruthin, &c., &c. Mr. Evan Lloyd, Lletty'r Eos, being the oldest tenant on the Cilcen Hall and Nannerch Estate, walked round, exhibiting a costly bracelet of gold, set with an emerald and diamonds, which was purchased Ly subscriptions made by the tenantry and friend* of the house of Nan- nerch; it was very much admired for its chasteness, beauty, and steeling v?,Yue. Mr. Evan Lioyd then, accompanied by the Messrs. Lloyd of Hendre and Ty'nycaeau, the principal tenants, advanced on behalfof the committee, towards Miss Lloyd 'ud the group of friends surrounding her, and said,- Miss l-loyd, I have been deputed by a committee of your father's tenants, with your friends and wellwishers, to present you this day on your majority, with this gold bracelet, as a token of the profound respect and high esteem that is so universally entertained towards your- self aud your honoured parents. It was but two or three weeks ago that this idea occurred to them; had the move- ment been made known a week or two sooner, many more friends would have added to this present, and have doubled, if not trebled the already large concourse now before you and I am very glad to have an oppportunity of shewing my great regard, and that of the many friends present towards Mr. Lloyd and his family, so much re- spected through the country; and they should not pass over the name of Lloyd only, but mention also that of the ancient Mostyn family. It is a source of great pride and gratification to me, to have witnessed this joyous event; I thank the Almighty for so far prolonging my life to enable me to take a part in this day's proceed- ingd;-may divine providence ever bestow upon you its choicest blessings; may every comfort and happiness attend you, and may the eternal bliss, felicity of the heaveidy mansions be yours hereafter;—with these wishes for your wellfare, in which every one present heartily joins me, I beg of you to be pleased to accept of this bracelet from my hands on their behalf." The young lady graciously received the handsome gift amidst great cheering; and the band striking up a bril- liant air, after which her worthy father stepped forward to thank Mr. Evan Lloyd, the committee, and all those around him, on behalf of his daughter, for the valuable preaeut they had just handed to her;—he had never thought that they had done anything to entitle them to such an unmistakable mark of respect and esteem; what- over he had done, either in public or private life, it was done with good intent, with open heart and hand, to the full extent of hid means and ability; and by the help of God, he was determined to pursue that same course, which, from the unanimous and voluntary demonstra- tion* of that day, proved to him to be acceptable amongst them; he was too much overpowered by his feelings to make any lengthened speech the memory of that aus- picious moment would be a source of pleasure to him as long as he lived, and to his daughter also;—nothing could erase the lasting impression made that day on his heart—that heart now beats with sincere affection and thankfulness to each of you, for the kind and generous manner you have displayed this day towards Miss Lloyd and her i)-artnta;(tuucii cheering, and one cheer more), —to commemorate this event, Miss Lloyd then proceed- ,ed to plant a tree opposite the front door, and the pro- eesaiou moved thither; the tree was a tiue specimen of M Cedrus Ihodura," presented by Messrs. Chivas and Weaver, of Chester;—Miss Lloyd accomplished the task exceedingly well, assisted by the people's friend," the Right Honourable Lord Mostyn. The company was estimated at about 3000; then dispersed, some to the Ilati, others to the Schoolroom, where children, with their parents and friends, upwards of a thousand in number, from the parishes of Cilcen, Halkin, Northop, Ysceitiog and Nannerch, in which Mr. Lloyd is interested, were liberally regaled during the afternoon with tea and bunlouf, &c., &c., under the ex- cellent management of Mrs. Anthony Harrison. The grounds were thrown open for children and others to enjoy themselves, which they did to their hearts coil toutrural sports, dancing, and other pleasures were "kept up to a late hour. It is but due to record that the greatest civility and attention was paid to every one by Mr. Jones, tiie butler, and Mrs. Ladyman, the housekeeper, and the other servants, who were extremely kind and obliging. Mr. Zebulon Morris, Photographer, of Holywell, had the honour of taking the group at the interesting mo meat of the presentation of the bracelet. On the following day the labourers in Mr. Lloyd's employ were also handsomely entertained by the orders of the committee at the Sun Inn.

FENRHYN DEUDlUETH. I PETTY SESSIONS, April 14th,—Before G. Casson, and Wm. Casson, Kstirs. Own Owens was charged bySergt. Lewis for drunken- ness, which defendant admitted. Fined Is. and cost*. John Williams, of Festiuiog, was charged by James Smith for assaulting him on the 2i)th ult. Conipbiuant stittwt-f called at defendant's house to ask him to apologise for his wife, who had previously thrown a stone at me. He refused to do so, and when [ was leaving he threw the stone which I now produce at me (a stone about 5 or 6 His. weight), and which struck me on the back of the head. Cross-examined by defendant—I went off your pre- mises when you asked me. I did uot strike you. Robert Villiams said-l reside next door to the de- fendant. I saw complainant going to his house on the day in question, aud heard him being, ordered off the premises, which he did as soon as he could. I saw rle. fendant throwing a stone at him, but it did not strike him. I did not see complainant strike defendant. Cross-examined by defendant—I did not see com- plainant strike you. I did not hear him calling your wife improper names, and that he would hang you by the hair of your head. I have no animosity against y oil. Some witnesses were called for the deiendaiit, but their evidence only went to shew that the coniplainaut had abused defendant's wife at some previous time; and defendant having admitted throwing the stone, he was convicted and tined Is and Ins. 6d. costs. Anne Hughes, of I'enrhyn, applied for an order of bastardy on Win. Roberts. Orde granted for Is. 6,1. per week and costs.

ST. ASAPH. PETTY SESSIONS, Monday, April 18th —Before Dodd, Esq., and the Rev. H. C. Knight. Amavltiinj the Police.—John and Thomas "V\ ijliama, labourers, were charged with assaulting P.O. Charles Jones, at llhuddlan, on the night of the 17th August, 1802. Mr. Louis appeared for the prisoners. t'.C. it)tie.ttei)osed that on Sunday night,17thAug., about 2 o'clock, was instructed by Inspector Davis to go on duty at Klmddlan, in plain clothes. ttaw two prisoners ou the railway bridge, at Ittitiddlaii. Jobit was lying down on his face; asked him to get up, but he did not; the other was standing against the wall. After I had gone about 15 yards, prisoner Thomas said, get up, I know him, lets murder him. John immediately got up, and rail after. I stood when I heard the expression, and Jones then came up and struck me. 1 told him I was a St. Asaph constable, and he had better be quiet, but he became worse, I took hold of him, and he kicked violently, and we both went down. He then shouterl to his brother I homaR to cMneand help him, and Thomas threw a handful of dust in my eyes; lie then poked his fingers in my eye? can't see so well with right eye in consequence. I then let John go, and got hold of Thomas; John, got holdof my legs, and we all three went down together; John pulled me down, John then attempted to put his fingers in my eyes again, but he missed, and got iu my mouth, and I bit it sharply. Thomas shouterl to his brother to come and help him, but I held him fast till some one came up. The bailitf of the Marsh Inn, came up, and stood by. I was unable to do night duty for nine days, and unable to do any duty for two or three days. Dr. Lodge gave me something for my eyes. Knew Thomas Williams well before, but not the other prisoner. Cross-examined.—Had known Thomas Williams, and turned him out of the White Horse. Pid not know John then. Had not expressed any doubt since of the identity of the prisoners. Three women came up after the as- sault, but I did not tell Hannah Williams that I did not know the men I told Thomas Williams that I knew him at the time. I have known the other men. Had a conversation with some men at Cefn Meriadog shortly afterwards, but did not tell them I did not know the prisoners. By the Bench.—Warrant was issued immediately afterwards, but the prisoners absconded. They were taken up on the 14th inst., at Rhyl. deceived in forma- tion of their being in the neighbourhood. P. Serjeant Richards, deposed to apprehending the prisoners at Uhyl, on the 14th inst. Richard Evans, railway porter, deposed -that he knew the prisoners well, and saw them both in the porch of the Marsh Inn, Rhuddlan, at 9 15 p.m. on the night in question Mr. Louis was quite ready to admit that a most cruel assault had been committed, but not by the defendants, and he should call a number of witnesses to prove au alibi. lie then called the mother and sister-in-law of tpe prisoners, and four other witnesses, but their evidence was weak. The Magistrates committed then for trial at the next Session. It seems there were many other charges of a similar nature against the prisoners. Bail was applied for.

EXTRAORDINARY BREACH OF PROMISE. I The case of "James M'llhanny v. Mary Campbell was heard in the Sheriff's Small Debt Court, Glasgow, on Thursday. The following is a copy of the summons served upon the defender 1864, April 1.—To loss and damage sustained, and to be sustained, and as a Bolatiom for the inj ury to the feelings and reputation to the said James M'llhanny, by, and in consequence of, the said Mary Campbell having (ailed, of this date, to enter into matri- mony with the said James M'llhanny, in terms of promise and engagement to do so, and especially after proclama- tion of banns had taken place, and arrangements made for the marriage to take place on the 1st day of April; the said Margaret Campbell having unwarrantably and without cause refused to contract said marriage. Damage £20. The value of the following, supplied by the said James M'llhanny to Mary Campbell, in contemplation of said uiarriiige, viz. :-For a green cobourg dress and petticoat, £ 1 8s. 5d.; a bonnet, 6s.; to cash advanced to relieve a petticoat belonging to Campbell which had pledged, 4s.— £ 21 ISi. 5d.; restricted to £ 11" While the Sheriff was reading the summons the audience indulged in a titter, the pursuer being a man apparently between 50 and GO years of age, and the defender a girl of 1,5,-Tlie Sheriff (to the defender) What do you say to this I-The girl did not speak; but her father handed in a document which certified that his daughter was only 15 years of age.—The Sheriff (to pursuer): Did you get her fathei's consent 1-The Father: No I never was spoken to.—Pursuer Sure, yer honour, I got the mother's consent (Laughter.)— The Sheriff: But did you get the father's consent ? If not, I must dismiss the case.—Pursuer: I got her mother's consent.—The Sheriff: You had no right to enter into a contract of this kind witti a minor wituout the consent of her guardians. I therefore assoilzie the defender.— The pursuer and defender then left the court, amidst the laughter of the audience.

THE EXECUTION AT LIVERPOOL LAST SA- TURDAY. (From our own Reporter.) It was on Monday morning, the 28th December last, that police-constable Turner, of St. Helen's, near Liver- pool, entered the house of a single young woman, named Mary Woods, and there fonnd on a bed the lifeless body of that person, and the subject of this article. James Clitheroe also, in a dying state from a ghastly razor wound, as is stated, in his throat. Ic appears that J. Clitheroe, a married man, with a wife and five children, hid formi d a illicit acquaintance with Mary Woods, who waa a cripple, and kept a small private sclaool; all(L from what transpires, this had continued some time, and that Mary Woods paid frequent visits to Clitheroe's house. By careful medical aid, Clitheroe's life was spared, only to form a ghastly spectacle for a motley crowd of sensation spectators, before Kirkdale gaol, last Saturday, at 1.2 o'clock noon. Thither I wended my way in ruy professional capacity to report the scene. The extensive brickfields in front of the gallows had considerable num- bers—say a couple of thousands—as early as 10 o'clock, which increased in number up to 12 o'clock, when the climax was reached. Punctually at that minute, the Rev. Mr. Jones, St. Helen's, stepped on the drop, bare- hi eaded, bowing gracefully to the crowd, which must by then have numbered ten thousand, followed by the un- fortunate man, and the venerable-looking man, Caleraft, and the gaoler. But before we proceed, let me briefly des- cribe the drama on the drop, which could not have oc- cupied more than half a minute from the appearance of the chaplain to the drawing of the awful bolt. There, on the left, stands the Rev. Mr. Jones, a tall gentleman, in appearance resembling the Rev. Newman Hall, be- hind the culprit, the gaoler rests himself against the massive door, unluckily too often thrown open. He looks sideways at the fatal preparations, and appears to feel somewhat more from the scene than one might ex- pect from one in his position, placed as he is, to witness such so often. But it is the centre of the picture that formed the all absorbing point. James Clitheroe stands erect facing the ten thousand—his arms pinioned—he is bare-headed, and his whole appearance pitiful-his hair dishevelled- his neck laid bare, with his shirt neck button unfastened, and the upper part of that garment thrown off from his bodv. There he stands. For a second, he turns his head towards the Rev. Mr. Jones, who whispers some- thing in the poor fellow's ear-the last words. Calcraft, who stands on the culprit's right, has a black cap of al- paca, closely fitting to his venerable looking head. A white cap is placed over Clitheroe's head, extending to his chin. Calcraft does the work handsomely. One end of the rope is thrown round the poor man's neck, the hook is adjusted—Calcraft fits it nicely behind Clitheroe's right ear-Calcraft takes hold of the other end of the fatal cord, and at first fastens it to the lowest of the throe ever-standing iron rings, on the cross bar of the gallows. Calcraft seems yet not to be wholly devoid of human feeling, he takes a second thought—takes the hook from the lowest ring and places it on the upper riug, thereby rendering the awful jerk just about to take place, a grain less hurtful to the doomed man. This was the last kindness done by a mortal man to the un- fortunate Clitheroe. The chaplain and gaoler first retire from the drop, followed by the professional executioner, who turns round to the doomed niaii draws the bolt, and then the poor man drops down about two feet, and is suspended. No pen can successfully describe the unnatural jar of that door, and the subsequent falling of the culprit. There he is suspended. For half a minute, his head is seen to move, as if he had a wish, in his death struggles, even to cast "one last fond look" at some one that may have been in the crowd, or at Calcraft, that had shorten- ed the fall by three inches. We have no means of knowing that James Clitheroe was hurled by Calcraftian agency to the world where Mary Woods was sent by himself, as he stood accused and convicted. For my own part, I like to know a little of the ante- cedents of such a man; and, if possible, to learn a few of the steps he trod, from his "infant purity," to the horrible gallows. He was married 11 years ago'to his present wife, Jane; and since then, is the father of five children. By trade, he was a glass polisher, at St. Helen's. He seems to have always shewn great desire for the awful and horrible-was a frequent attendant of executions; and, as is said, took tea with the notorious Wilmot Buckley, on the Sunday the latter murdered his wife at Cropper's Hill, St. Helen's. He was form- erly connected with the Independent body of Noncon- formists at St. Helen's, at which chapel he was also married by the Rev. Mr. Jones, who is how the pastor thereof. He had, however, long abandoned all connec- tion with religion, and was looked upon by all who knew him :is a man to be shunned rather than courted. The details, of course, we cannot learn but step by step he deviated from the paths of duty and virtue to that of drunkenness, vice, degradation, and, to all probability, murder. Let all read, weigh, and meditate.

HORRIBLE MURDER NEAR EDINBURGH. I On Saturday morning, a horrible murder was perpe- trated at the village of Ratlin, about eight miles west of Edinburgh. The murderer was a labourer named Bryce, and his victim was a young woman named Seton, a do- mestic servant in the employment of Mv. Robert Tod, the well-known Leith grain merchant, who resides in the outskirts of Ratlio. It seems that Bryce had been courting another of Mr. Toil's servants, and that the mutslered woman had passed some disparaging remarks on him to his sweetheart, which apparently, exasperated him at her. On Saturday morning, about half-past seven o'clock, he called at Mr. Tod's house, and asked if Seton was in. On finding that she was in the nurse- ry, he went to her. threw her down, and attempted to strangle her. Mrs. Tod heard the girl scream, and, seizing an umbrella, she dealt the fellow a number of heavy blows on the head and hands, and compelled him to quit his hold. The girl sprang to her feet and fled down the valley, to the house of Mr. Binne, a joiner. She was closely pursued by her blood-thirsty assailant, who overtook her at Binnie's door, knocked her to the ground, and drawing a razor from his pocket, dashed it across her neck, cutting her throat from ear to ear. The poor girl died instantly. The murderer, immediately made off, but was pur- sued, and when he saw that his capture was inevitable, he endeavoured to cut his own throat, but only succeeded in making a slight wound. He was taken into custody, and in the afternoon was lodged in Edinburgh gaol to await his trial.

DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF PETERBOROUGH.—The Bishop of Peterborough died on Monday last. George Davys, Bishop of Peterborough, graduated at Christ's College, Cambridge, 1803, tenth wrangler, and became a fellow. He subsequently became curate of Littlebury, and in 1811 of Chesterford; this latter curacy he held until Dr. Bloomiield, the late Bishop of London, was pre- sented to that living, when Mr. Davys became curate of Swaffham Prior; he afterwards removed to Kensington, and was appointed tutor to the Princess Victoria. He was advanced to the see of Peterborough in 1809. The deceased prelate belonged to the evangelical section of the Church. He took no active part, however, in theolo- gical controversy, and was liberal to all religious creeds. In the affectionate regard of his former pupil, our present gradous Queen, the Bishop of Peterborough held a high place. For many years portraits of the Royal Family were annually sent to the Bishop, and costly tokens of Her Majesty's grateful affection were frequently bestowed upon him.

SIMULATING DEATH.—A Canadian paper, the Chatham Planet, is responsible for the following strange story:- A lawyer practising in the village of Morpeth, in this county, named W. H. Wittrock, was taken ill some months ago, and took a number of morphine powders, from the stupifying effects of which, it was asserted, he ultimately died. An .inquest was held on the body, and a verdict rendered that Wittrock died from the effects of the said morphine powders. As he appeared in his coffin to those who saw him, he was dressed in a fine suit of black broad cloth, with gloves on his hands aud boots on his feet, and it is reported that those who touched the body remarked that it imparted a peculiar sensation not derived usually from the bodies of dead persons. But the coffin was in due time closed, and followed to the churchyard and the widow, who was the mother of two children, eventually received the sum of about 10,000 dollars—some say 10,500 dollars—with a portion of which she liquidated a number of the lia- bilities incurred by her departed husband. After the accounts of Mrs. Wittrock's husband had been liquid- ated, the lady herself, we are led to believe, went to the State of New York, and her husband, who was supposed to have been buried, was recently seen in the city of New York. It is further reported that some two weeks or more ago the insurance company that issued Mr. Wittrook's policy sent agents to Morpeth and exhumed the coffin, and that when it was taken up it was found to be filled with cord wood and stones."

AN IRISH ROMANCE. The Drogheda correspondent of the Freeman's J our nal writes, under date of April 14 Some days past an occurrence took place at Term feokin, a village about three miles from this town, which has aflorded considerable gossip in the district. It ap- pears that a farmer named M'Kone, living at a place called Sandpit, and said to be about 65 years of age, fell in love with a prepossessing young woman, aged 17, daughter of a neighbouring farmer named Cooney. The parties very often met; and an affection sprung up on the part of Miss Cooney for the elderly bachelor, r requent- ly he drove her on his own car into Drogheda, where he lavished valuable presents on her, and took her to all the places of amusement which were available. At length, Farmer M ICoue felt it was full time to think of having the matter brought to a crisis, and accordingly, in the most modest possible manner popped the question in the usual way, when the maid avowed her consent. The father of the latter was next consulted, and M'Kone being in a comfortable position in life, he agreed to the match, stating that his daughter's dowry was X50 but if M'Kone consented to "settle his farm upon her" he would double that amount After considerable negocia- tion the terms were agreed to, and a respectable attorney in the town was engaged to draw up the mar- riage deed. M'Kone now believing that nothing could occur to mar his happiness, purchased se- veral other presents, including a wedding dress and a bridal ring. The day being announced for the signing of the deed by the lawyer, the same was agreed upon for the marriage ceremony, and on the pre- vious evening Farmer .M'Kone again visited Drogheda, where he purchased some tS worth of viands, confec- tionery, and Irish whiskey, as a provision for the wed- ding feast, to which some scores of the farmers of the district and their families were invited. It is said, how- ever, that the course of true love never yet ran smooth, and on the present occasion the maxim was verified. On the night previous to the wedding, a young blacksmith named Weldon, who had been previously paying his ad- dresses to Miss Cooney, called, in company with others, at her father's house, and demanded an interview with the young woman. This was at once refused, and the parties next threatened to take her by force. Miss Cooney hearing the conversation, which was carried on in a loud tone, and admiring the attachment of her juvenile lover, contrived to make her escape into the street, when she was at once taken off in a car, which was waiting for the purpose This circumstance vOok place at a late hour in the night, while M'Kone was pro- bably dreaming of the coming morn which was to make himself and his beloved united for ever till death did them part. It is understood that the blacksmith has since been joined in the bonds of wedlock with Miss Cooney, and the feelings of Farmer M'Kone, who was so unfeelingly jilted, can be better imagined than de. scribed. Since the above was written, I have been informed that the good things provided for the wedding have not been suffered to waste, as a wedding has absolutely taken place between Farmer M'Kone and a cousin of Miss Cooiiey's, a handsome bruuette of 20 years of age. No- thing has created more interest in the district, for ten miles around, for a quarter of a century, than this ex traordiuary case.

| MURDER AND SUICIDE. I Various circumstances having excited suspicion; the room occupied by a man named JamesPearce, who lived in Leigh-street, Burton Crescent, London, was broken open on Monday morning, when Pearce and his wife were found dead. Their throats were cut in a fearful manner. By the side of the man was found a long sheath knife covered with blood, and it was only evident from its appearance that it had been recently sharpened. From the appearance of the bodies it would appear that the man had just murdered his wife and then cut his own throat. Mr. J. T. Paul, surgeon, made an examination of the bodies, and gave it as his opinion that death hail not long taken place. He made a cursory examination of the bodies (which lie bad found lying on their backs in separate pools of blood), and found on the female a tremendous cut on the top of the head, extending down to the bone, and which he had no hesitation in saying had been iuflicted by some blunt instrument. There was also an immense cut extending from the front of the neck down to the spine, the head hanging only by a small piece of skin and the bone. This wound would cause instantaneous death. Above this was another severe cut of some depth (which of itself would have caused death), and which in all probability had been in- flicted after the blow on the head. The man had also a very deep cut extending across the throat, and separat- ing the windpipe, and it was of such a severe character that death must have been instantaneous. The cause of this dreadful occurrence is supposed to be jealousy, as the wife wiis stated to have informed the landlord of the house, that her husband had said he would kill her, as he was very jealous of her; but she added that there was no reason for such a course to be adopted, as her husband's suspicions were ill founded.

The PRIVILEGES OF PLUSH.On the 3rd May, 1736, the audience at Drury Lane, with the Prince of Wales and his bride among them, witnessed some unex- pected addition to the entertainment promised them. The footmen chose that night for an attempt to recover their old and abused privilege of occupying the upper gallery, gratis. One body of them entered the gallery by force, a second fought their way through the stage door to dictate terms to the manager, and an active corps in plush kept the house in alarm by their shouts for a re- dress of grievances. Amid the fighting that ensued, the terrified part of the audience dispersed. Colonel de Veal, with the authorities," came to read the riot act, but no respect was paid to either dignitary or document, where- upon a battle-royal followed, in which plush was inglori- ously defeated, with a loss of eighteen finely-liveried and thickly-calved combatants, who, battered, bruised, and bleeding, were clapped into Newgate for safe keeping.— Their Majesties' Servants, by Dr. Doran. THE CONQUEROR OF SCHAMYL.-Pritice Bariatinski is about 6ft. 2in. high, very well made, and with a noble carriage, which accords well with his high rank. He appeared to be about forty, had brown hair of a nuance inte-rwdiaire, a high massive forehead, but one which shelves upwards, that is, is narrower at the top of the head than at the brows, rather small grey eyes, and a somewhat stern and commanding expression. He was then the second personage in rank in Russia, being the only Field Marshal, Viceroy of Caucasia, Grand Cordon of St. George, and at the head of an army of two hun- dred thousand men. B-, told me that the courier who had come from Petersburg in eight days, had brought important despatches about the recent mas- sacres in Turkey, and the current of the prince's thoughts seemed to be in that direction .-Eastwick's Three Years Residence in Persia. THE SENATORS OF MONTENEGRO.—Opposite the gate of the Palace there is a very fine plane tree, from which the whole of the principal streets of the little town could be seen. On one side of this the Prince is build- ing a pretty little house for his beloved aunt, the Prin- cess Darinka. While I rested under this tree, late in the afternoon, I saw the Senate, sitting in full conclave in the open air at the further end of the street; and no sooner had I appeared than the whole assembly, of thirty men, rose up and came to greet me, and bid me wel- come to the Black Mountain. They stood round me in a half circle of splendid dresses, and fierce faces, whilst, making Mirko their spokesman, they engerly dictated speeches to me, expressing their pleasure at seeing an English lady amongst them, and their hopes of my health and happiness in Montenegro and out of it. All this Gospody Zega, the aide-de-camp, translated into Italian, for our benefit, for Mirko will not trust himself to speak Italian to a stranger, though he understands it pretty well. And after I had assured him of my inte- rest in Montenegro and her people, they proceeded in the most amusing way to implore me to beg England would request Austria, Russia, and Turkey to let them grow rich and happy; and they then asked me patheti- cally if I did not think they ought to have a port on the sea-coast, and so be enabled to let all the world know what good wine, and wood, and skins, the black Moun- taineers could sell.-The Eastern Shoret of the Adria- tic, by VuemnUu Strangford.
