JOSEPH DART, Secretary. THE GEOGRAPHY, HISTORY, and STATIS TICS, of NORTH and SOUTH AMERICA, and the WEST INDIES. The long-expected Memoir of the Life of RICHARD Banistri SHERIDAN, by Mr. THOMAS Mower, has just appeared. and will well compensate for the delay in its publication. It is a just tribute to the transcendent genius of one of our most eloquent Orators, and the greatest Dramatist of his age, by one of the first o' living Poeti. Every page teems with interest, and the volume we are sure will be seized with avidity by the Public. We therefore hasten to lay before our Readers 'a few extracts. They relate to &flatmates court- ship and the duels to which it gave rise. It was about the middle of the year 1770 that the Shexidans took up their residence in King's Mead stie..t, Bath, where an acquaintance commenced be tween them and Mr. Linley's family, which the kin dred tastes' of the young people soon spread into intimacy. It was not to be expected,—though parents, in general, are as blind to the first approach of these dangers, as they arc rigid and un , eason ible after they have happened,—that such youthful poe-s and musi cians should came together, without love very soap making one of the party. Accordingly, the two brothers became deeply enamoured of Miss Linley. Her heart, however, was not to wholly un-preoccupied, as to yield at once to the passion which her de.stiny had in store for her. One of those transient preferences, which in early youth are mistaken for love, had already taken lively possession of her imagination ; and to this the following lines, written at that time by Mr. She ridan, allude: •70•:111ACTS TO DELIVER COALS AT GIBRALTAR, BERMUDA, AND IN THE WEST INDIES.

A REAL BLESSING TO MOTHERS. rria EitE is not, perhaps, in the whole Materia Me-, 4. dica, any one remedy which so effectually relieves the pain of suffering Patient as the AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP. Who can watch the writhing tortures into which a lovely infant is att.', convulsed during the period of dentition, without feeling sympathy for its sufferings? and who would hesitate to procure a remedy, when a remedy can be found, which is obvious by the effectual relief afforded in so many distressing cases which are daily coming to the notice of Mrs. JOHNSON? Therefore, Mothers ought never to be without the American Soothing Syrup in the Nursery; for if a child awakes in the night with pain by only rilabing the Gums with a few drops of t he S y ru p , it will ilium. diately open.the pores, heal the gums, and thereby prevent fevers and convulsions; for should it come in competition with any other disorder, it often destroys the mother's brightest hopes.

Cherub of Ikaven, that from thy secret stand Dost note the follies of each mortal here, Oh, if Kliza's steps employ thy hand, Blot the sad legend with a mortal tear. Nor, when she errs, through passion's wild extreme, Mark then her course, nor heed each trifling wrong; Nor, when ber sad attachment is her theme, dote down the transports of her erring tongue: But, when she sighs for sorrows not her own, et that dear sigh to Mercy's cause be given; And bear that tear to her CRICATOICII throne, Which glistens in the eye upraised to Heaven ! But in love, as in everything else, the power of a mind like Sheridan's must have made itself felt through all obstacles and difficulties. He was not long in win ning the entire affections of the young 44 Syren,"— though the number and wealth of his rivals, the am bitious views of her father, and the temptations to which she herself was howl) , exposed, kept his jealousies and fears perpetually on the watch. He is supposed, in deed, to have been indebted to self-observation, for that pormit of a wayward and morbidly sensitive lover, which he has drawn so strikingly in the character of Falkland. With a mind in this state of feverish wakefulness, it is remarkable that he should so long have succeeded in concealing his attachment from the eyes of those most interested in discovering i.. Even his brother Charles was for some time wholly unaware of their rivalry, and went on securely indulging in a p ission, which it was hardly possible, with such opportunities of intercourse, to resist, and which survived long after Miss Linley's selection of wither• had extinguished every hope in Isis heart but that of seeing her happy. Hallifd, too, who at that period corresponded co.;stantly with Sheridan, and confided' to him the love with which he also had been inspired by this enchantress, was for a length of time left in the same darkness upon the subject, and without the slight st suspicion that the epidemic had reached his friend, whose only mode cf evading the many tender inquiries and messages with which Hal hed's letters abounded, was by referring to answers which had, by some strange fatality, miscarried, and which we may conclude, without much uncharitable ness, had never been written. Miss Linley went frequently to Oxford, to per form at the oratorios and concerts; and it may easily be imagined that the ancient allegory of the Muses throwing chains over Cupid was here reversed, and the quiet shades of learning not a little disturbed by the splendour of these 44 Angel visits." The letters of Haat, d give a lively idea, not only of his own intoxi cation, but of the sort of contagious delirium, like that at Abdera described by Lucian, with which the young men of Oxford were affected by this beautiful girl. in desCribing her singing, he quotes part of a Latin letter which he himself had written to a friend upon first hearing fur ; and it is a curious proof of the readiness of Sheridan, notwithstanding his own fertility, to avail himself of the thoughts of others, that sic fiad in this extract, word for word, the same extravagant compa rison of the effects of music to the process of Egyptian embalmment—" extracting the brain through the ears" —which was afterwards transplanted into the dialogue of the Duenna :•••••11 Modems,: guendam ante .IEOO medici guam pollincirent cerebella de auribus unto quanta hanso solebaut extrahere ; sic de meis auribus non cere brum, sed cor ipsum exhausit lusciniola," &c. He men tions, as the rivals most dreaded by her admirers, Norris, the singer, whose musical talents, it was thought, recommended him to her, and Mr. Watts, a gentleman commoner, of very large fortune.
