AVIC4IIO...The descendants of the ancient Celts were tho..aboriginai inhabitants' of Gaul and Britain; but th'e name more properly belonged to certain of the (lanks,'wito resided in a district situate between the §clut tbit tstarae g and the Garonne, which was deno. rdiHated Gallia Celtic*. The Celts and Scythian: were both' descended from Gamer, the eldest son of Japhet, seiro, its some have assumed, was the eldest son of Noah ; and' of their early settlement in Europe we have alresedy given some notice at page 448, ante. The ge nerations of Gamer, • were soon divided into several nationV, bearing peculiar names; as the Gomro Or Cymro, the issue of Gotner ; the Galatians - or Gaols,sso called from *hi redness of their hair ; and the Cokes, which inatoiels supposed to have been taken from. ()reek word Keletai, osed by : Homer and Pinder signify Horsemen. Clitverios makes the Celtic to comprise the regions of Illyria, Germany, Gallia, Spain, and the Britannic and othe r Northern Isles; an d he states that they all spake the same language. A host of historians might be quoted tp prove that this was the Gomeraeg, or Language of Gomer, which is almost the same as that still preserved by the Welsh ; but which, front its extent, became parted into a great variety of dialects. each earing the indubitable marks of its descent. That the Goreemeg still retains the Hebrew tongue in very astonishing purity, may be seen in Charles Edwards' very learned publication, entitled i Hebraisnaormm Cantoro•Britannicaruis Specimen. Osf. 1675. 4to. where may be seen a considerable number of phrase* taken out of the Old Testament Hebrew, opposed to those in the Welsh tongue,. and the likeness is so strong, that it is evident they were once the same, varied only by the accidents of time and place. These and other particulars, however, the Reader will find discussed more extensively in Paralkiliensus d cone& Penile duodecins linguarern ex metrics Serho-Celtica Europa. VVittemb. 1697. 4to.

The primitive letters of the Welsh, says Dr. Fry, Pant, p. 305, formed an alphabet of sixteen radical characters and powers„ and twenty-four secondary ones: and it was anciently known tinder the name of Coelbreu y Beira, the Billet of Signs of the Bards, or the Bardic Alphabet. Their original mannei of writing was by cutting the letters with a *Rife upon sticks, which were most commonly squared,and sometimes formed into three sides ; conse quently, a single stick contained either four or three lines. Thus in Ezek. excel 16. 44 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah i vand for the children of Israel his companions: then take another - stick, aid write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his compactions." ' The squares were used for general sub jects, and for stanzas of four lines in poetry ; the trila teral ones were adapted to triades, and for a peculiar kind of ancient metre, called Triban and Englyn Mil eir. or triplet, and the Warrior's Verse. Several sticks, with writing *pen them, were put together, forming a kind of frame, which was called Pe:thy:en, or Elu cidator ; and was so constructed, that each stick might be turned fur the facility of reading ' • the end of each ruining out alternately on both sides of the frame.

GAEL/C.—The Gaelic, or Erse tongue, is the name of that dialect of the ancient Celtic which is spoken in the Scottish Highlands ; and of the derivation of the word Gaelic, Gealic, Gallic, or Gaulic, we bare already spoken. As a language, it possesses but two genders ; and its nouns are like those of the Hebrew, varied by their prefixes, and not by their terminations. Of the old alphabet no trams remain, but Mr. Astle has en graven specimens from several Gaelic manuscripts, from the ninth or tenth century down to the fifteenth, which are written in the Anglo-Sazon characters of the various periods. Notwithstanding the acknowledged antiquity of the Gaelic, the translation of the Scrip. tares into it is but a recent work; yet the language is far from being on the decline, as it is regularly taught and frequently spoken even in the metropolis of Eng land. Two excellent works on this dialect of the Celtic, are An Analysis of the Galic language. &lin. 1718. Bvo. and A Galic and English Dictionary. Loud. 4780. 2 Volt. 4to. both by W.

As the ancient Irish atilfribet, however, differs from that of any other nation, Bak 6e neral farther supposes, that it might have been dived' from a colony of the Carthageniats, which also leilled! is their country, *Out six hundred years:previoni to the Birth of Calm. Some of the native Irish histo. rians have adopted hypotheses concerning the evipin Hof their nation, language, and letters; which ate earns. vagant in the extreme. Thus the antiquity of 'the former has been endeavoured to be magnified by a jab.' cation from a volume, entitled Let/Muir Drootottsnoehlit, or the Book with the &kite Cover; which states, that t' three daughters of Cain took possession of Ireland, and that the eldest, who was called Bamba, gave her name to it. Dr. Parsons, in his Remains of Japhet. Lond. 4767. 4to. relates that Leland was inhabited about three hundred years after the Flood ; and Dr. Keating, in his General History of Ireland. Lond. 1738. Folic'', makes ate Partholanus, a Giant, who had descended in a right line from Japhet, to have first landed on the coast of Munster, on May the 14th, in the year of the world 1978. Concerning the language, equally improbable legends have been brought forward ; for some have written that Fenius Farsaidh, or Finiusa Farsa, a great ' 11 grandson of Japhet, established a schoOl on the plainH of Shiner, where he invented the Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and Irish characters. More of these wild traditions will be found in the authors already referred and in Ogygia : sear Rerun: Hibernicarunr Chroturlogia, by R. anaherty. Lond. 1685. Fol. and A History of Ire land, by S. O'Halloran. Dublin. 1803. Bvo, 3 Vols. In speaking of Irish manuscripts, Dr. Keating states, that the Psalter of Tara was written about 972 years before the Birth of CHRIST; and there is an ancient al phabet, called an Irish one, now mina, which is said to have derived its title of Babeloth, from the names of certain persons who assisted in forming the Japhetian language. Mr. Astle, however, following Dr. Whit taker, asserts that 101 the Irish characters were of Roman origin, derived either from Britain, or from the Nor. them nations ; and he also states, that he never met with an Irish manuscript of a greater age than the tenth century. To prove that the inhabitants of Ireland in this manner received their letters, he adduces their stone monuments, their coins, their manuscripts, and the works of their historians ; and all these arrive at the same conclusion. Such monuments as bore inscrip. tions, even the most ancient, were marked with let t e rs which-were evidently of !totem, and Roman. British formation; added to which, there were none of suck great antiquity, as to have been engraven before the in.l tercourse of the jrish with the British. They prove, ,, however, the use of letters previ ous to t h e arrival of St. Patrick in Hibernia, A.D. 430; but the Caledonians, who also used the Roman letters, had probably im parted them by that easy intercourse which they could carry on with Ireland, between Port Patrick and Car rickfergus. Sir James Ware, in his Works concerning Ireland. Dublin. 1714.2 Vols. Fol. remarks, that there were not any coins struck in that country, excepting those by the Saxon and Danish Kings, until the twelfth cen tury ; previous to which, he proves, from the Annals of Ulster, that gold and silver were paid and reckoned by weight. The forms of the native Irish letters, however, as used at the present time, may be seen in the follow. ing specimen*, and they bear evidence in themselves of anis. British original; but, says Mr. Innes, in his Essay on the Antiquities of Scotland and Ireland, the Beth- Leuis-Nion, or Alphabet of the Irish, is nothing but an invention of the Seanachies ; who, since they received the use of letters, put the Latin Alphabet into a new arbitrary order, and assigned to each character the name of some tree. • The specimen referred to we have not the means of laying be fore our Readers. The small-pox has lately made considerable ravages in H4mburgh, in consequence of which, and to encou rage as much as possible the practice of vaccination,the Council of Health, and other Authorities, have put forth the followingOrdonnances--1 st,That every orphan who has not received the cow-pox be immediately vaccinated. 2d, That no individual shall receive alms at the Estab lishment for the Poor, unless he can prove that not only he, but his family, has been vaccinated. 3d, That no child shall be admitted into any of the free schools, un less he or she has been vaccinated. 4th, That no one be permitted to form part of the garrison, or act as watch man, unless he can produce acertificate to the same effect. The works of the new church at Brighton are pro reeding very rapidly, and the building begins to assume an'appearance that warrants us in saying it will he one of the noblest edifices in the kingdom. The walls are now upwards of 20 feet high, and the arcade is com menced, the plinth and surbace being already set. Se veral of the doors and windows are in a forward state, and the Gothic tracery work has a beautiful and ma jestic appearance; the tower is also in progress. At Magdeburg a very strange report is in circulation, that a young Duke had had a duel, and run the son of it Prince, at Naples, through the body, and then disap peared ; others say he has embarked for Greece ; and according to others, he has been seized by banditti, who demand 300,000 scudi for his ransom. Two young Greeks, one 17, the other 18 years old, have been taken prisoners by au independent Pacha of the Barbary coast, es they were proceeding to the Le vant to their family. They were instantly ordered to change their religion, or prepare for death ;• but they were not long in making the latter alternative their choice. The Pacha, however, spared their lives, on con dition that in a space of time,which has now nearly ex pired, they would pay a ransom of 20,000 piastres.— Subscriptions are making for these young martyrs at Rome and Paris. In consequence of the numerous arrivals of vessels at Milford, with foul bills of health, principally with cot ton wool from Alexandria, in the course of a few days not less than 10,000 tens of shipping, chiefly from Wa terford, will be employed in airing t h eir cargoes.

It wen carried to the Town's Hospital, and soon after recognised by the afflicted parents. A Correspondent suggests, as a mean of detecting the perpetrator of this unfeeling deed, that the child should, on two Wednesdays and tww&turdays, be exposed at the Bazaar, exactly in the dress he were when stolen, by which means there is a probability, that the unnatural master might be found out, as, no doubt, she would be strolling about the town and country as a• begpr„,with• the child in her arms. , .-Gfmgett, Courier. t. v ~.;.~ bßZ4btpt.AcC/DEATT- The following is Mr. Galloway's accOunt if a dread kfol accident which happened yesterday, at his engine manufactory, West-street TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

About the year 1730, Covent-Garden and its neigh bourhood was the scene of much dissipation. It was surrounded by Taverns and Night-houses, which were much frequented by the Theatrical Wits of the day. At most of the taverns there was an Ordinary, varying in price from 6d. to Is. per head. Those at the latter price consisted of two courses, and were frequented by much good company. For Noblemen and Gentlemen of rank there were private rooms, where much drink. . ing was occasionally indulged in. The butchers of Clare-market, then a very numerous body, were staunch friends to the Players, and the appearance of these for midable critics in the house, never failed to make * serious impression on the rest of the audience. Macklin belonged to a society called " The Walking Club," which used to hold a weekly dinner at St.. Alban's. It consisted chiefly of the Members of both Theatres, and one of the rules was, that they should never ride, but walk the 20 miles to dinner, and the 20 miles back again afterwards. Their meetings commenced in Passion Week, and generally continued to the end of the season. At this time the City and West-end of the town kept at equal distances. No merchant scarcely lived out of the former. His residence was attached to his countinghouse, and his credit in a great rneasuto depended upon that circumstance. Macklin used to say, in the latter part of his life, that. he recollected the first emigration of the Citizens. It occurred about-50 years before the commencement of the present century, and at first did not extend to a greater distance than Hatton garden ; and even this innovation was confined to men who had secured large fortuoes, and whose credit was established beyond the possibility of a doubt. The Law yers lived principally in the Inns of Court, or about West minster Hall ; and the Players all in the neighbotuhood of the two Theatres. Quin, Booth, and Wilkes, lived almost constantly in Bow-street; Colley Cibber in Charles -street; Mrs. Pritchard and Billy Howard in Henrietta -street; Garrick, a great part of his life, in Southampton•street ; and the interior Players lodged in Little Russell -street, Vinegar-yard, and the little courts and streets about the Garden: So that all might be mustered to rehearsal by beat of drum, as might be said, and the expense of coach-hire be saved ; but now, said the veteran, we are strangely altered, we are all looking forward to squares and great streets, high ground, and genteel neighbourhoods, no matter how far distant from the Theatre, which should always be the great Scene of business. The audience then had: also their different situations, a vulgar person was tcarcely ever seen in the pit, and very few females fre quented that part of the house. It was filled by young Merchants of rising eminence; Banisters and Students of the Inns of Court, who were generally well read in Plays, and whose judgment was worth attending to. There were very few disturbances in the house ; the gravity and good sense of the pit not only kept the au dience in order, but the players also. Leak at the Pro logues since those days, and in times long before them ; they all deprecate the judgment of the pit, where the Cr itics lay in knots, and whose favour was constantly courted. None but people of independent fortune and avowed rank ever presumed to go into the boxes; all the lcwer part of the house was sacred to virtue and decorum ; no man sat covered in a box, nor stood up during the performance. The women of the town, who frequented the Theatre, were then few in number, ex cept in the galleries ; and those few occupied two or three upper boxes on each side of the house. Their sta. tion was assigned to them, and the men who chose to go and bedimage with them, did it at the peril of their chaiacter. No boots admitted in the days of Mr.-Mack lin ? No box-lobby loungers ?—" No, Sir," exclaimed the veteran, " neither boots, spurs, nor horses." We were too attentive to the cunning of the scene to be in terrupted, and no intrusion of this kind would be tole rated. But to.do those days common justice, the evil did not exist. Rakes and puppies found anothe r stage, on which to exhibit their vices and follies, than a pub lic Theatre. POLICE INI'ELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.

MA IILBOR,OU G 11. STII CRT. Mr. Hathaway, a hutches, residing in Southampton -terrace, wit brought to the Office, upon a warrant, by Wales, the officer, charged { with a desperate outrage sad mode. The warrant also included a Mrs. White, who, by the bellowing statement, appeared to he the principal in the transaction, bat the officer did not succeed in a'. 7 Iprehending her. Mrs. Haynes, a female sr extraordinary personal attractions, and genteel manners, stated. that she resides at N 0.7, Southampton tertace and that iffir. Hathaway .has but lately come to r e ,id e i n 'that neigidionthaod, and on his doing so, solicited her custotr.'; which he ever *ince enjoyed. Some mtintbs ago a Gentleman, whonkshe understood to be of great respectability, succeeded in whining her affectiocts, and became a favoured visitor at her limve, but whether he was a married or a single pan, she :fever knew, or 'rtook the trouble to inquire. On Saturday last, as she and her friend were sitting in her parlour, between eight and nine o'clock, taking their wine after dinner, a knock came to the street-door, and it was no sooner opened than a Lady entered, and first taking the precaution to lock the street-door inside, and put the key in her pocket, she rushed into the parlour, and commenced smashing every article of furniture—tables, chairs, looking-glasses, decanters, &c. at the same time exclaiming that before she bopped she would )w,e Witness's life ' and that of beer own husband also, who, Mrs. Haynes now, for the first time, learned bad been for so many months her companion. The Lady announced her name to be White, and cor: sequently the Gentleman most be Mr. White. The husband, as soon as he could recover from his surprise (if anything could cur prise bins), laid hold on the wife and flowed her. Mrs. White called" Murder !"—.a mob of.about one hundred persons collected about the house ' burst open the doomed windows, entered th e house, and ou bearing from Mrs. White her statement of griev ances, joined with her and proceeding over the Whole howl-, =d every article in it, broke a valuable pfattoforte and i e ful guitar to pieces, carried away almost all her wearing ap parel, stole her reticule and some sovereigns in it, and no doutt would, as they expressed a determination to do, have torn Mrs. Haynes herself to pieces, bad she not, with great difficulty, clam bered over an adjoining well and taken shelter in a neighbour's house, and Mr. White escaped from their fury in an equally mime lons way, with almost every stitch of clothes tomb from Ma back. The charge against Mr. Hathaway was, that be was the ring leader of this outrageous attack upon the house, and vowed the de; inaction of Mrs. Haynes herself. Mr. Hathaway listened very coolly to this recital, and corrobo rated Mrs. Haynes's statement, but denied having taken a leading part in the affray. Several persons, neighbours, who entered the house at the same time, confirmed the statement of Mr. Hathaway. ' Mr. Rot, the Magistrate, said, that under all the alessenstantes, he did not consider Mr. H athaway liable to be held to hail, and dis charged the warrant. A few days ago the gaoler of Copar, Fife, found con cealed between the soles of a pair of shoes, which had been brongnt for a man named Abraham Meharg or Mliargitwo spring saws,with which he might in a short time have effected his liberty by cutting the iron grating of his cell.
