CHRONICLE. 



UT 



pain and sickness, to her present 

 state of death. Almost all that 

 time the writer of this paper was 

 with her, saw her in all her regu- 

 lar approaches to death, sat by her 

 bed-side with a watch in his hand 

 to observe the different changes, 

 nnd saw her expire, as he has seen 

 many others ; and on some future 

 occasion, when more at leisure, 

 may furnish you with more parti- 

 culars. 



" Her friends know her to be 

 dead, but the arm of the Lord is 

 not shortened ; and if he is about 

 to do a great work upon the earth, 

 as they firmly believe he is, they 

 know that he can as easily raise the 

 dead to life, as awake a person 

 out of a trance. Mrs. Southcott's 

 words always have been, " that 

 death or life would end the strife ;" 

 and on that ground her believers 

 now rest the question." 



A horrible transaction was deve- 

 loped at the late Assizes at Beau- 

 vais. A young man, of 22 years 

 of age, was convicted of assassinat- 

 ing, at different periods, his two 

 young brothers, and a sister, a 

 child between two and three years 

 old. From whatever cause, whe- 

 ther mental derangement, or the 

 instillation of bad principles, he 

 alleged he could insure his young 

 brother an admission into Heaven, 

 if removed from life before the age 

 of seven. He was condemned to 

 death. 



Having already given an article 

 respecting the riot at the Theatre 

 at Dublin, we now insert the se- 

 quel, in which we are sorry to be 

 obliged to remark, that never was 

 the Magistracy of a great city more 

 humiliated and degraded. 



On Saturday night, the 27th, Mr. 

 Joneit was busy making arrests in 



the box lobby. On Monday night 

 some Police Magistrates ordered a 

 company of soldiers, at the instiga- 

 tion of the Patentee, into the house. 

 On Tuesday night the disorders 

 were at their height. The audi- 

 ence was as numerous as that 

 which originated the tumult on 

 Friday night ; but it was much 

 more determined and enthusiastic. 

 The refusal of Mr. Jones to 

 make a personal apology continued 

 the source of the uproar. The 

 audience would enter into no com- 

 promise. Placards were distributed 

 in all quarters, and handed to all 

 persons, but they proved abortive. 

 One of them was as follows : — 



THEATRE ROYAL. 



The Proprietors of the Theatre 

 Royal beg leave to appeal to the 

 Public upon the subject of the dis- 

 content which has been manifested 

 at the Theatre the few last even- 

 ings : 



The Manager, Mr. Rock, be- 

 ing the only and properest channel 

 of communication between the 

 proprietors and the public, having 

 failed in his endeavours to obtain a 

 hearing, the proprietors have but 

 this mode left of stating, that the 

 reason why no verbal apology was 

 made on Friday night, for change 

 of entertainment, was, that when 

 his Excellency the Lord Lieute- 

 nant honours the Theatre with his 

 presence, it is an established rule 

 that the performance shall upon no 

 account whatever be interrupted by- 

 extraneous communication from 

 the stage ; nor is it even usual, upon 

 those nights, to give the customary 

 announcement of the play for the 

 ensuing evening. 



The Proprietors of the Theatre 

 anxiously hope that a liberal Pub-
