On Saturday his Excellency and Suite, I accompanied by tome of the neighbouring gentry, rode to that delightful romantic fpot, the Water. fall at Pool-a-phoca, belonging to the Right Hon. the Earl of Milltown, and afterwards paid a vifit at Rursborough Houle. Silt HENRY BaowNa HAYEL—two prifoners I received fentence of death at the la& affixes for Cork, for carrying off young women, a crime vary prevalent in this country; but as the circum -fiances of the two cafes have been extremely dif ferent, fo has been their fates. _ _ Sir Henry Hayes, of whom fo much has been Rated in all the public papers, was convided at the af fi xes in April laft, upon ind ifputable evidence, of carrying off Mifs Pike by force five,years ago, to his own houfe, and attempting to marry her • brit it appearing that no perfonal violence was of fered to her ivhilit in his houfe, 'and that the was furnithed with pen, ink, and paper the next morn ing, and allowed freely to communicate with her friends, (fome of whom came immediately for her to the prifoner's houfe and carried her home without oppofition on his part), the Jury ear. neftly recommended him to mercy, and the exe cution of his fentence has accordingly been rc fpited. It is expeded that he will be pardoned upon condition of being tranfported to Botany Bay for life ; but his property is all forfeited by the judgment of attainder. The other cafe was that of Thomas Murphy, who, by a confpiracy, carried off the daughter of a farmer in decent circumftances, and locked her up in a public houfe all night, from whence the was forced into a field and ravithed by him. So ag gravated and enormous an outrage will receive the fate it deferved, and this man has accordingly been left to fuller the fentence of the law. New York Papers up to the 3oth of July reached us yefferday. The following articles we think the only ones worthy of being fdeded Admiral Sir WM. Pause, on quitting the North American Ration to return to England, was prefented with an addrefs from the merchants and other inhabitants of Halifax, expreflive of their gratitude to him for his unremitting attention to the protedtion of their commerce, and their deep regret fbr his departure. • This addrefi was received in a very favourable manner by the Admiral. We have known for fome time paR that feveral of the Prefident's appointments were extremely unpalatable to the oppofite party. In thefe Papers we find 'a long rernonftrance by a body . of mer chants on the fubjea of one of there appointments. The anfwer of the Prefident is very fpiritedl, and while he allows in the fullefl manner the conflitu• tional right of the fubjed to remonflrate on the appointments of the Government, he Rates with much ability the reafons on which the appoint ments complained of are founded. The very numerous emigration into all parts of the American Republic, beg es to excite among a certain dais confiderable apprehenflon : they area to be ferioufly alarmed about the dangers which may flow from inch an immenfe intermix ture of foreigners, and pretend that the greater part of them are bufily employed in promoting the caufe of fcepticifm and irrelig, ion. Whatever may be the future confequence of there emigrations, we believe the danger is yet wholly idea, and that the complaint originates from bigotry and prejudice. It is not very eafy to conceive that people who go to America merely in purfnit of means of lubfill ence ihould immediately on their arrival fet lip as apofiles of infidelity. It is not true that the ma jority of• emigrants are from the idle and worthlefs of fociety : thefe left find means to prey on their neighbours at home, while the fober and incluarious Peek in a diilant clime that provifion which they cannot obtain in their own country. The Baltimore Paper contradiets the report that Mr. Jsrssesos invited THOMAS Pains to return en America, and offered a frigate for his fervice. Mr. Javraasou's letter was only a formal anfwer to a complimentary letter which that Gentleman wrote from France on the triumph of Republica nifm in the United States. _ _ On the 29th of Jul), feveral families from Swit zerland arrived at New York. They are princi pally vine-drelfers, and brought with them feveral boxes of vines, as well as feeds. They fct out next day for the Kentucky vineyard, and exped to be followed by soo of their countrymen. The commerce of the port of Bolton is much in commoded by the Berceau's refufal to fail, as the Brit:A (hip that watches her in the bay, brings to and boards all veffels ontward•bound. _ _ Mr. JosHua WNDOIII43TOIII, of New York, has brought aSions for flander againft two perfons, for charging him with being concerned with the Britifh Conful in a plan to carry away furwp titioufly and by force Jamas CHEETHAM, Editor of the paper, called , 4 The Citizen." A letter from Salem, North America, dated July so, lays, " It appears by the different a:- counts brought by the Eall India Chips, arrived at this town, that a grand expedition has been fitted out from Bengal. There were nearly too fail of large (hips carrying troops, holies, &c. and con voyed by feveral (hips of war, under Admiral Rains la. After the fleet failed, which was about the tit of March, from Ceylon, where it had ren dezvoufed, feveral (mall divillons of (hips departed from the Ganges to join. The fleet took in a large quantity of water. Some eftimate the force at so,ooo, others s s,OOO men. There were two Eu ropean regiments. The remainder confills of Se• poy troops feleaed from their bell corps. Several regiments, it is laid, have been fent from the Cape of - Good Hope to aet in concert. The expedition is fuppofed to be stained again! the French in Egypt, by the Re,' Sea." The Me itev. GlLatitT Inflar, tLII Mr. WA II frau), whore death we Mivitioned yefterday, was born on the 22d of February 170, in the parfonage-houfe of St. Nicholas, in Notting ham, of which, church his Father was then Rearir. When he had attained his feventh year, he was ini dated in the Latin language, at the free-fchool of Nottingham, under the Rev. Dr. SAMUEL &alo pecia a, afterwards matter of the Charter-houfe. At the age of nine he was removed to Wilford, near Nottingham. At the age of thirteen, Mr. VI/acti vism) found in the perfon of the Rev. RICHARD Wooeesox, father of the prefent Vinerian Pruitt for, a preceptor fuited to his defire ; and, after tatting the dreams of Greek and Roman litera ture at their fountain head, his parents began to think of fending him 'to the Univerfity, on which a ftudency in Chrift-church, Oxford, was offered him ; this he ludily efcaped, in confequence of his father's predilection for his own college ; and it feemcd to afford a fubjeet of exultation to the fon, even in his riper years, as " orthodox theo logy, high church politics, and paflve obedience to the powers that be, fit enthroned," according to him, in a feminary, once "autrix &mum," the ve nerable nurfe of Smarms, HALES / SE: DEN, CHIL- Ltwoivourm, and Locos. At length he obtained a fcholarlhip in Jefus College, Cambridge ; and it fo happened, that he exaftly fuited the intention of the founder, who preferred " the fon of a living clergyman, born at Nottingham," both of which conditions, as may have been obferved, 'happened w be united in him. On January 16, 1776, he took his degree of B. A. with feventy-four other candidates for academical honours ; and, on this occafion, he was nominated to the fecond poll. Soon after this (April 16), he was elthed fellow; and, in the courfe of the fame year, he printed at the Univerfity-profs a (mall collection of Latin poems, with a few notes on HORACE, by way of an Appendix. On the tad of March, 1778, he was ordained a Deacon by Dr. HINCHLIFFE, Bi fhop of Peterborough, in the chapel of Trinity College, at the age of 22 years and one month.— On April 14, Mr. WAKRFIRLD left the Univerfity for the curacy of StOckport in Chefhire. He did not, however, remain long here, for we find him, loon after, with his brother at Richmond, decid edly averfe to the renewel of fubfcription, and em barraffed at the idea of ecelefiaftical function .-- On March 23d, 1799, he vacated his fellowfinp by marriage. About the fame time, he exchanged the curacy of St. Peter's for that of St. Paul's, where he had more leifure for his Bodies. From an humble attempt to eftablifh a day fchool, he was diverted by an offer of the tutorlhip of the claffical department at Warrington Academy, in Lancathire, Whither he removed in Anglia, 1779. On the difrolution of the Warrington Academy, a removal took place in the autumn of 1783, to Bramcote, Within tour miles of Nottingham, where Mr. WAKE* I gib endeavoured, but in vain, to pro cure a few refpetlable pupils. In this rural re treat, he publifhed the firit volume of " An En quiry into the Opinions of the Chriftian Writers of the three firft Centuries, concerning the Perim) of Jssos CHRIST ;" but notwithftanding the com mendation of many excellent judge.. he was nor encouraged by the flue to proceed with the conti. nuation. We find him a fecond time, in Mar, 1784, fixed at Richmond, advcrtifing for pupils, and renewing his application to his friends. At Michaelmas, we again hear of him in his native town of Nottingham, and there he had three or four pupils under his care for fcveral years, on very handfome terms; and about this time lle was elated an Honorary Member of the Philotaphi cal Society of Manchefier, in confequence of his " Effay on the Origin of Alphabetical Charac ters." On the ellablifhment of the New. College at Hackney, Mr. WAKEFIELD was deemed a pro. per perfon to fill the office of Claffical Inftrnetor; and he was at length appointed to this Ration, in July, 1790. His connexions, however, with the intlitution, were diffolved at the end of 1 1 months, having retired in June, 1791: the feminary did not long furviv this lots. The moll diflingitilhed of Mr. WA KF. ri LD'S publications are his Remarks on the Internal Evidence of the Chriftian Religion; Silva Critica ; New Tranflation of the Tellament. with Notes ; his pamphlet on Religions Worthy; Remarks and Illuftrations on the Works of Alex. ander Pope ; An Examination of the Age of Rea. fon ; Reply to the Letter of Edmund Burke, Efq. to a Noble Lord ; his Letter to Mr. Wilberforce ; and a Reply to fome parts of the Bifhop of Lan. dafPs Addrcfs to the People of Great Britain, which caufed his confinement in Dorchefler jail. Mr. WAKEFIELD'S death was occalioned by a fe ver which he caught in confequence of an tutu/oat exertion in walking, an exerofe of which he was particularly fond. The Hamburg-I; CorrOonelexi, of the ad Septem. ber, contains the following article :—" It is confi dcntly afferted that the Pope will not recognize the French Emigrant Bilhops, and the poffeffions of the Church, which are not yet fold, will be em ployed for the fupport of the Clergy. The Bilhops are to be nominated by the Government, and the Cures jointly by the Prefeas and the Bifhops." The fire which broke out at Portfea, a few days ago, was not in the Royal Oak Rabies, as we Rated on the authority of another paper, but in a Gen. tleman's in the fame greet, which gave occation to the miflake. Indeed, from the ferupulous care and attention paid to the Rabies belonging to the Royal Oak Inn, it is hardly poMble an accident of that nature can break out in them. The revival of that excellent piece the Fire King, or Alhert and kids', at the Royal Circus, St. 'George's Fields, produces every evening, in con junlition with the splendour, admirable mufle, Bce, of the Eckyi, or 11 arlersin in Chintz, the greater eourfe of Ipedators : we find, however, tit Wedoefday next, the s6th inflant, will he pr ed, for the firli time, an entire New Grand tack, with new MuGc, Ficenery,Machinery,D and Decorations, which has been a conlidt time in preparation, called King Geftr, or for Slaver, with a variety of other li.3t.,'.iinment of !".'4.. l of ~c, ac. mc. di con. lut on h woduc- I Spec- Dreirc derable r Negro nts, tur .3 i ~.
