what alarmed, asked her where she was going, and if anything was the matter. OF these questions she took not the slight- est notice, but turned and went up a a court at the end of which her sehool is situated ; he then in aloud voice. called afier her, agd asked her if she was not Nir. ’s daughter, and with precisely the same resu't aa before. Her father, who is @ journeyman tailor, was at work at the time in his master’s workshop over the passigé leading into the court, and hearin? his name thus singularly called upon, he looked out of the window, and sure enough there was his daughter as

before described ; he then, in a state of,

great fright, immediately ran down stairs into the court, calling after her to no purpose, when, on overtaking her, he was astonished to find she was sound asleep, and it was not unti! he had shaken her two or three times that she awoke. She said she was quite unconscious how she came there, and was not aware of having left her home. Hiec father then got something to wrap her up in, and carried her home in his arms. There are one or two circum- siances connected with this singular case, deserving of being mentioned. Many yards of the road over which she walked have recently undergone a thorough, re- pair, and though the cracked flint stones are to a certain extent worn down, stil! in several places it is in su exceedingly rough state; she is, however, totally ignorant of everything that took place up to the time of her being awoke from her sleep, thus proving [in this instance at Jeasi}, thatthe sense of touch during

‘ | somnambulism is altogether suspended if;

not destroyed. Again, near the entrance ef the coart were a team of horses and a wagyon, all ef which she carefully avoid-

P., has within the last few days become a member of ‘the Church of Rome. lected that his lordship recently took a ‘prominent part in favour of what is termed ithe high church party, When the great ‘meeting of clergy and leity was called to consider the Gorham case, in July last, St. Martin’s [all being confined, he pre- ‘sided over a supplemental meeting held at the Freemasons’ Tavern, on which oc- ‘casion his lordship emphatically declared that no lay tribunal should be permitted to adjudicate upon matters of faith.—Dai- ly News.

Colyton.-Sherbourne Journal. SALARIES OF ACTORS.

Mr. Bunn, the ex-manager of Drury lane and Covent-garden Theatres, make some curions revelations respecting the exorbitant salaries paid to our celebrated actors and actresses. It is cifficult to eonceive upon what principle their de-

miands are regulated. For instance, in 121, when Edinund Kean was putting dato the treasury of Drury-lane a nightly average of £484, he was content to sign an acreement for three vears, at £8, £9, and £10 per week, and considered that the committee acted with singular libe- rality in cancelling that article, and subdstitutiog one for £20 a night: but at the termination of this agreement, he stipniated for, and received to the cose of his career, £30 per night! In 1821-2, Mr. Charles Young had a weekly salar of £20 at Covent-garden, and in the fol- Jowing year he had a nightly one of the

same amount at Drury-lane, a scale of

remuneration according to which he was paid until his retirement from the stave. In the very height of their popularity, such actors as Munden, Fawcett, Quick Idwin, [rish Johnstone, had £14 a week and in Jamary, 18i2 {Mathews JAfatiers, the most extraordinary actor that ever lived, says, in a letter to Mra.
