LORD CARBERRT.—At nine ro'clock, on Monday evening laft, at RADDISH'S Hotel, died Giotto/ EVANS, Baron Carberry, of the kingdom of Ireland. His Lord(hip was in his thirty-ninth year, and in the year ins, married mia WATSON, daughter of Co lonel Waysom, who amalred a confiderable fo-tune in India. The firft Baron liras created by GIORGI the Firll, in the year 1715. His Maim r bellowed this honour on him, on account of hi; extreme beauty and manlinefs. His Lordlhip was confidered the fineft man of his day. The late Lori was truly amiable, and a man of the mildeft and molt gentle. manly manners. About two years fince, hisl.,ord chip was hunting on his elate near Northampton, and had the misfortune to boat a blood-reffel, and was confidered at the time in extreme danger ; about fifteen months fince he broke his arm, which brought on a lingering complaint, confidered by the faculty as a decay of tome internal part. — A few weeks fince his Lordfhip came to town, and has been under the care of Dr. BAILIR, and other eminent phyficians, who confidered his Lordthip fo far recovered as to Elation bis return to the coun try; laft Friday was the day fixed for his depar ture with Lady CAR El taY, for his feat in Northamp tonfhire ; preparatory to the journey he rode in Hyde Park; on Wednefday and Thurfday laft was in good (piths. and faw company each afternoon ; but on Friday morning he propofed to Lady CAR mar to pciflpone their departure until Monday, which her Ladyfhip acquW*.ced in. On Saturday morning, about one o'clock, his Lordlhip was feized with a violent ficknefs in his llomach, and rang the bell for his tenant, who imnsediately• attended, and, on finding his Lordfhip had again burft a blood ref fel, fent for Dr. Bann, who adminiflered Tome me dicine that relieved his patient fo much, that he fat up, dined, converted, and was in tolerable fpirits ; but on Sunday evening a relapfe took place, which terminated fatally. His Lordfhip dying without aim ' the title and chili, which are very confidera ble, devolve to his uncle, the Hon. JOIN Evans, of ErDE PARK. The Serpentine River yelterd iy again attraEled a very numerous atfemblage of Ikaiters. In the early part.nf the day, a flight thaw coming on, for tome time :ccationed a degree of dullnefs in the ice, which made it very unpleafant ; but, in lefs than two hours, the Gott refumed its influence, and made it infinitely better than it had been before. Mr. Kauai, fon of the Archbilhop of CANTERBURY, and Mr. Warrs, of the Cuttlom Houfe, appeared to have a trifling fuperiority over many other firit rate per formers. They (leaked together for the greatett part of the day, cutting the fame figure of eight, always meeting in the middle, and fainting each other in a very graceful manner; fometimes they would, with two othergentletnen, cut a double figure of eight, al ternately meeting and retiring, as if they were danc ing a Highland Rcel ; at another time Mr. MOORS would, after running a confiderable way, to give himfelf force, defcribe a fpacious circle, 'leaking backwards on the out edge, Mr. WATTS, dote in the purfuit, would defcribe the tame circle forwaids on the out edge, and, feizing Mr. MOORE with his left hand, would, in a threatening attitude, hold his right high over his head, which had an uncommonly fine elle& ; but, for the molt part, the good fkaiters remained at the right hand fide of the river, occn. eying a very (mall portion of the iee, exaelly oppo. fite to that part of the road where the ladies came in their carriages to admire their elegant movements. Of courfe, every Bathing fellow was there. At about half part three, when a confiderable crowd had al fembled round this fpot, a huge, athletic fellow, be longing to the horfe guards, who had been driving up and down for lonic time before, came running as fall as he polllbly could to that part where they Rood, and, having frilling ovlr the wooden rails which projeft into the River, he came down at the other fide with fuch force, that a large crack ran along the ice. Three ladies made their appearance at different times, and acquitted themfelves with great fpirit and firm nefs, Ikaiting on the flat : one of them, the young lady whom we mentioned in our paper of yellerday, made feveral very fuccefsful attcmpts in tkaiting on the out edge, in which the was fortunate enough not to get a tingle fall. A circutoßance, fomewhat of a ludicrous nature, occurred at the lower end of the River near Kenfington Gardens. A ladder had been placed for the accommodation of thole trolling the wall, to amufe themfelves on the Canal there. A number of perfons availed themfelves of the oppor tunity, and were enjoying their favourite (port un der dicker of the trees. At this moment, one of the park keepersinfißed upon the ladder being taken away. This was at fir( retitled, and tome tkirmithing took place, the refult of which was in his favour. The men who had planted the fcaling ladders, irritated at their removal, battened to the new building near the Pow. der Magazine, and having procured hatchets, broke away the ice below the wall. The confequence was, that when the fkaiters attempted to effeet their re treat from the Gardens, inßead of alighting upon the ice, they dropped nearly up to the middle in the water. They were immediately extricated, and a hearty laugh, at their expence, was their principal modification. The Duke and Duchefs of DiVONSHIIIt, with their ufual hofpitality, entertained a large Pnrty of Dif tinaion on Saturday at Devon hire Houfe. Among the company were his Royal Highnefs the Prince of Watts, Earl and Countefs of BISBOROUGN, Lords COWPER, DUNCANNON, Lnrd and Lady MELBOURNE, Mars. Monza, G. and W. LA rds, HARBORD, &c. A Crim. Cox. attended with fame whimfical cir cumliances, is loon likely to forniih ample (cope for gnlfip fc.andal, in confequence of the fecret expeditions of a young fellow of great dalh and falhion, to one of the fquares at the welt end of the town. The account of two plays having been performed by the Officers of the Guards at Chatham is a fabri cation. The boar, it mutt be confelred, was fn to tally dellitute of whim and point, that it was impof fible to fufpea it.

TH KA TR 1 CAL L—Mr. Cook performed Richard on Monday night, at Covent Garden Theatre, in a very fpirited manner ; but the audience conceiving at the commencement, that rather too much j;sirit had been thrown in, gave manifelt ind'cations of the fentiments they entertained. Mr. H. SIDDONS, in confequence, came forward, and we hope, with more truth than delicacy, declared literally, " that Mr. COOK was not driod." Mr. C. himfelf then addreffed the houfe. Placing his hand upon his left file, he folemnly af lured the audience, that his momentary indifpofition arofe from a pain to which he was fubjea, in the part that he puffed ; and expreffed a hope, that if per mitted to proceed, he Mould prove himfelf not inca• pable of the performance of the charafterhe had un dertaken. The addrefs was received with general applaufe, and he went through the remainder of the fcenes with his accultomed ability. Mr. Bist's horfe, Pumpkin, won the race at New market, on Thuilday fall, with cafe. Mr. Jowss's poney was dißanced by three lengths at lealt.

On the North-fide, for dry goods, warehoufe No. t. is completed, and all the workmen difcharged Noc. 3,4, 5, and 6, are nearly finilhed. The whole will form the grandeli Commercial Dock in Europe. _ _ Yefterday, at the Court of Requefis, Whitechapel, Hugh Macny, a watchman, charged Lee with a fraud. It appeared that the plaintiff met the de fendant at a neighbouring public houfe, where he boated that he bad given fifteen weavers a guinea each, for an affignment of their bodies after their deccafe, and offered the piaintil: a like fum, if he would enter into a fimilar agreement ; to this plain tiff contented, but after it was ligned defendant pof felled hitnfelf of it, and refuted to deliver the money. The Commiffioners conceiving the affair in the light of a frolic on the part of the Ilefendant, and fatisfied of the illegality of the agreement, Go: Muted the DU3LII'. DECEAIRE.R i 4. PETP.P.

DECkMBtit 27. - Mr. Looax, the chief peace-officer, returned to town on Thurfday lag from Donegall, without being able to apprehend the poifoners of the poor blind men of Sintrsom's liorpit,rl, though he made a molt in defatigable fearch. Sat — urday night, Captain Wicsox, the chief peace officeri apprehended TOI.IS MENCICs, Tl.omas-Itreet, charged with havoig been guilty of force fraudulent tranfaftions near Longford. Yelterday, a journeyman taylor, of the name of CURLEW, was taken up drowned out of the river at the Old Cuftom-houfe. A noble inftance of human fortitude was given a few days ago on the Qi!ay, by a lad of the name of Blake.—He happened to be prcfent when a poor wo man who was doffing a plank to go on board oue of the potat-e boats, fell into the River, and immediately plunged in to her relief; his efforts were fuccefsful, and the po•:r creature was brought afhore amidt the acclamAtions of the furro•tndiog fpe6tators, who were aftonithed at the extraordinary efforts of a youth fcarcely fourteen years of age.—This is the fecond life Blake has faced within a thou time. On the morning of the t 6th init. the office asljoio ing the dwelling 'wag of Hams )LOAN EISMS, Efq. of Ballytweedy, was broken into and robbed of 27 guineas. _ Lail week, P. W. Harvey, Efq. in purfuance of the will of the late F. Higgins, Efq. compounded the debts and paid the fees of 23 poor confined debtors, enlarging them from prifon, and refloring them, at a defirable period, to their families and friends. This was pundually executed, under the direCtion and the approbation of the Lord Mayor. Thurfday fe'nnight as a private belonging to the Royal Artiilery, was proceeding to Duncannon Fort. he was flopped about two miles from Waterford by two villains, apparently countrymen, who, having knocked him down, and cot him in a cruel manner, rifled his pockets of 2s. 2d. and wok out of a baficet which he had with him, feveral papers, &c. They propofed to each other repeatedly to murder him, laying, " there were too matiy of his fort alive." Providentially, however, on hearing a bode ap proaching, they fled, leaving the poor fellow in a pitiable flare. _ Two melancholy inftances occurred on Saturday of allowing children to approach a fire, without the fuperintendance of fome proper perfon to preferve their inexperience from danger : one of the children was burnt to death, in confequence ofits c:other taking fire, and the other is dange:outly ill. Such negled is more to be reprobated, as the ordinary high fender which is ufed in nurferi es , makes fuch occurrences impoflible. On Sunday morning the child, a fine boy, between five and fix years of age, w.lll left playing in the drawing room of Lee's lodgings, in South Anne flrcet, by his grand parents, who went out to prayers; unfertunazely he approached too near the fire, whets the flames caught his cheque bib, which he endea voured to extinguifh by putting it between his legs; which canted his pantaloons to take fire, and they being lined with calico, made no blaze, but continued to burn : as the child did not fee any blaze he thought it was out, till the heat forced him to Icream : his fa• ther, who was in bed in an adjoining room, heard him, and ran to his afildailce, when he found him in the micift of flames, the fire having caught the tuckers of liis' fhirt ; his father immediately extin guithed the Hames by covering him with the carpet, and then fir ipped him ; but he was much burned at the bottom of his belly and back. Medical aid was intlantly obtained—but the f.-fight was fo great that about five o'clock on Monday morning he was feized with a consultive fit—another at ten, and a third at two, which terminated his exiftence. .What adds to Mr. Lee's affliaion, is, that be was his only child, his daughter, eleven years of age, having died two months fince. Mrs. Lee is only ten months dead. Lout -Aisle, Dtc. so.—The 36th, or Pompadores, have marched from hence to Cork, a fine body of men and in high (piths. They are to be replaced by the 3zd regiment from Longford, the &Li divifiors of which have arrived, all ferviceable and well ap pointed. The za, or Fuzileers, remain here, and are very healthy—they are well known on fervice, and are now complete. On Tuefday fe'nnight, a porpoife, 12 feet long, was caught by forne lightermen' at the Broomielaw, Glafgow. In coming up the Clyde, it bad entangleil kali among the velfel% at the quay. In an open garden at Renfrew, there is :It prefent a role fully blown. On the fame both, a rote alfa budded in the month of o:tober, and another in the month of November. Early on the morning of the 13th, a large meteor pallid over G ,, wer, a few trples from Swanfea, in a north call diration, illuminating the atmolphere much more vividly than lightning. After being vi. file for a Mort time,it hurft with a tremendous noire, and numerous fparks of fire; of a confiderable free, apparently fell to the earth. Several perfons obferved the phenomenon, and others who heard the explofion, dekribe the latter as ftm:lar to the falling of a large building. •Yeflerday morning, as the Pnrtfmouth mail coach came into the Angel inn, :it. Clement:s, the guard perctived three or four men, uho he conlilered as fufpicious charaders, lurkin t about the t! ate way as fuch he adviled a g , :ra:rnan, who cam: 'Wien ger, to have his trunk car; ie.; into the room where he fat ; it was accordingly taken into the coffee-room, where foon atter three gentlemen came in, and or dered coffee, and very loon aftlr the trunk and two of the reemea were mitrag.
