It is to be lamented that the valuable and choice Mufeum of the late Gamma &ATE, Author of the Pelkw Ulm's, which will begin felling at Kum's, in Covent Garden, on Monday next, was not difpofed of altogether, for although it will en rich the Cabinets of the firD Colleaors in Europe, it certainly ought to have become a National pur chafe.

Thenf'end of our Correfondent adds, " Fam lorry to fay, that many peo?le in Englabd have bought land, 3-4 the of which is fcarcely worth paying the Taxes for." The Flixton meeting in future is to be limited to three days of public corning; the laR day to elofe with a cup for the winning dogs ; and a challenge has been given from it to run all England over the Flizton wold. Fernier, the mutineer, who murdered Captain PICOT, was executed yefterday morning on board the Gtsoinvoa, at Portfinonth : the ail) lying dote into the fhore at Gofport occafioned a great number of fpeaators to afemble to witn -4 the awful ceremony. This unhappy young man fince his condemnation has behaved in the mot pious and penitent manner, and exprefed every cOntri lion for committing the diabolical offence on ac count of which he Tuffered. The extraordinary circumilances attending the urea and imprifonment of a prifoner, fuppafed to be of elevated rank, has created confiderable fen fation and enquiry in Spain. We learn from an Englilh Officer, who is juff arrived from Carthage nap that during his refidente there, this unfortu nate perfon was brought to the citadel of that city, under a confiderable efcort, and &only after put on board the Admiral's (hip in the harbour, to be conveyed to South America.
