Garcia, has plunged into despair the family of M. Naldi, of the Italian theatre royal. This celebrated buffo-performer, having been invited to dine with M. Garcia, immediately on his arrival with his wife and daughter, proceeded to examine the accelerated process of cooking by the self-acting boiler (la marmite autoclave). By an imprudent and fatal inad. vertency, M. Naldi, with the tongs, stopped the valve, and the compression increased the heat to such a degree, than an explosion ensued; the lid of the boiler came in contact with his forehead, completely severed the skull, and stretched him dead at the fect of 10th light dragoons-lieutenant general lord Stewart, colonel. 1st foot-general the marquis of Huntly, colonel, v. duke of Kent dec. 42d-general the earl of Hopetoun, colonel, v. marquis of Huntly. his daughter. M.

Surgical aid arrived immediately after the explosion; but to M. Naldi all efforts were unavailing; he was no more. It would be a vain effort to describe the heart-rending effect of this tragical scene upon the two families. M. Naldi justly claims our deep regret. His denieanour bespoke an estimable man, and in fact such he was. He was a singer of rare excellence, and a correct performer. He was the sole tutor of his daughter, and brought her out in Mozart's opera Cosi fan tutte, and it must be acknowledged that if she wants energy (a disadvantage which is increased by timidity), no one can possess a more accurate method, or better taste. Pellegrini delighted in calling Naldi his master." PROMOTIONS in the year 1820. January. D. R. Graham, regius professor of botany in the university of Edinburgh. Right hon.
