HAYMARKET THEATRE.—A new Entertain ment, called the Sixty-third Letter, was on Satur day night brought forward at this Theatre. It is written by Mr. PRINCE HOARE, and the mufic is by Dr. AANot°. It was extremely well received, chiefly in confequence of the exertions of Jour/- STONE and Fawcrr-r, who have two very whim. fiat' charafters :aligned to them. The Plot, if the Rory can be called one, is infignificant ; and the mufic is far from being in the compofer's ufual ft y le. KENTISH BowmEN.—Saturday was the day ap pointed for the grand annual meeting of the Ken. tifh Bowmen, at their Lodge, on Dartford Heath, near Dartford ; but on account of the fudden in. difpofition of the Duchefs of DEVONSHIRE, and the engagements of a number of other noble perfon ages who intended honouring the meeting with their pretence, it was, in compliment jutlly due to the Duchefs, and thofe ladies who were to accom pany her, put off till next Saturday. The So ciety, however, did not lofe the enjoyment of the fine day : they met very numeroutlf and enjoyed the (ports of the field. At five o'clock they fat down to a very fumptuous dinner in their long room, which was ferved up in a molt elegant ftyle by feveral eminent cooks, who were conveyed er prefsly for the occafion in a poll-chaife from Lon don. After the cloth was taken off, the celebrated grace of " Non nal: Domine," was fung in a very finifhed ftyle by feveral profellional Gentlemen from London, who were engaged in confequence of the expelled honour of the company of her Grace and her friends. The Gentlemen likewife entertained the company with feveral excellent fongs, catches and glees. The perfon known by the name of M. de Ver dun, whom our Readers mull have remembered about the ftreets of London, for a great number of years, wearing a little bag wig and a large cocked hat, and carrying an umbrella, died last week of a cancer in the breaft, being it appears a female; though (he always wore a mafculine ha bit. By papers found in her apartments, it kerns (he was the natural daughter of the late King of Pruffia, and came to England with Madame Schwellenberg, Miflrefs of the Robes to her Ma jetty. It is underftood the was once in poffeMon of property to the amount of hoool. which, trull ing in the hands of a foreign banker who failed, (he entirely loft. She has once fubfilltd by teach ing foreign languages, but is underflood to have lived very abftemioufly. In her lodgings a num ber of valuable fuits of cloaths have been found, in which (he ufed, till within there few years, to at tend at Court on gala days in the male charaaer, having never been known in any other fince her refadence in this country, except to her patronefs ; her external form was, however, fuch as almoft to have caufed a fufpicion of the real fait. The ea femble of her figure, when decorated in its ufual parapharnalia, was whimfically grotefque. EPATGIATIONS TO AMERlCA.—Emigrations to the Weftern Continent from the northern parts of Ireland and from the Highlands of Scotland. are continued to an extent fo alarming as to call for the immediate confideration of the Government. Upwards of eighteen hundred perfons have failed from Londonderry, Belfall, &c. for America, fine the beginning of June, and Rill greater numbers are preparing to follow as foon as they can provide means for their tranfportation. A Scotch Journal s which we received yefterday, #4;ntains the following article—" On Saturday three veffels failed from Fort William with emi grants for America. It is lamentable to think, there are no lefs than twelve !hips engaged for the Weft Highlands, which mutt carry off fourteen or fifteen hundred of thofe deluded wretches from their native country. Before they had been three hours at tea, tome of the poor creatures oh Satur- day came and Aced one of the tailors if the land they faw was America ? which thews what an idea they have of their voyage.".

It appears that eight perfons have loft their lives in confeqnence of the accident at the Welt-India Wet-Docks. Three of the bodies Rill rent in un- dircovered notwith(anding every fearch has been made for them. One of the perfons miffing is a Mr. Brut', the brother of the Superintendant of the works. The fate of this young man is pecu liarly lamentable, for had he remained in the Etna don in which he was when the water built the dam, he would in all probability have raved his life : he was not down at work at the bottom of the bafon, as the rel were, but was on a part of the dam ;troll, which the water did not reach, In his fright. upon the alarm being given, he ran , down and the torrent immediately overtook him: Comma's INQ,yssr.—An Inquilition was held on Saturday, at two o'clock, at the fign of the Ming Smack, Poplar, before EDWARD WALTERS, El+ his Majefly's Coroner for the Ea(kern ,De partment of Middlefer, on view of the bodies of Edirard Pedlington, James Wood, Michael For, William Cal - coigne, and John Butcher. Mr. Thatcher, one of the Contraeurs belong ing to the Docks, Rated his knowledge of the per fons deceafed. They were employed about the works as Labourers—one of them, Pedlington,had worked for him many years. At the time the ac- ' cident happened there were about 4o people em. played in removing the earth between the two coffre-darns Mr. Bruff, whole body had not yet been found, aded as the foreman. The dam was made with piles, and on the outride in the River Thames, there were fome ballaff lighters at work. It ftruck him the dam was in a (tate of danger, and he informed Mr. Bruff, the deceafed, of his apprehenfions ; he went away, and at feven o'clock news were brought him that the Coffre-dam had blown up, and that fever al perfons had loft their lives ; he proceeded to the fpot, and found the re port confirmed. William Kent, Mafter.Bailiff, Paid, it was his bufinefs to attend to the works as they were go ing on, and for that purpofe he was conffantly on the fpot, but particularly at the Coffre dam. In the courfe of laft week he was apprehenfive the works were dangerous, and that a great deal of injury might be done to the level. He accordingly thought it his duty to call a Committee of theCom miffioners of Sewers, and had every part of the _ _ • . place infpeded. No order was made by the Cora. mittee, Mr. Jeffop and Mr. Walker, the Survey ors, attended. They Paid they would flake their exiltence, or forfeit their lives, or words to that effect, if any thing difagreeable happened : they were fully confident the works were perfeellyfafe. The Commiflioners yielded to their opinion, and departed, contenting themfelves only with defir. ing him, the witnefs, to pay every poffible at tention to the place. It was between twelve and one o 'clock on Thurfday morning, when the Com mittee fat. The witnefs informed the Commiffion• ers he fhould not leave Blackwall during the flow ing of the tides, as, notwithftanding the opinions of Surveyors he Rill entertained his fiifpicions. About ten minutes before feven of the fame day, the tide being nearly at its height, the witnefs was Banding by the crane.poll, and was looking to wards the South coffre•dom, when he obferved the head of one of the piles decline towards the river. He inftantly called out to the people who were at work below, at a depth of about 3o feet, exclaim ing, " For GOD'S fake come up, the coffre-dam is blown." The people ran in all diredions ; the water ruched in with a dreadful noife, and clothing againft the gates,returned by the eattern wall, and swept away all who had not had time to get up.— The bafon in an inttant filled to the depth of 22 feet; fame, by the violence of the torrent were forced againft the piles, andjammed between them. He was perfuaded molt of thofe who were loft had been driven to the corner at the end of the eattern wall, and in fad all the bodies that had been found were lying on that fpot. The witnefs added, that all pradicable affluence was afforded to prevent the lois of the workmen, and he was furprifed, confidering how inftantaneons the effect of the inundation was, that more lives had not been loft. The Coroner thought it totally unneceffary to occupy the time of the Jury in the examination of any more evidence. It was evident that the lots of the deceafed's lives could only be attributable to accident. The Surveyors were not in the leaft de. gree to blame, They had no doubt given that opinion which was prompted by their conception of their duty. Human nature was liable to error, and they, notwithftanding their experience, and profellional knowledge, had fatally erred in this inflance. It was their misfortune, but not their fault. He did not fee how the Jury could return any other verdid than that of accidental death ; at the fame time it was not his ptovince to decide; if they entertained a different opinion, they were free to declare it. One of the Jurymen obferved, that with refped to the Surveyors, 'no men could more fincerely re gret the accident that had happened than they mutt. Of Mr. Walker he could particularly fpeak as a man diflinguifhed for his humanity and kind ncfs to all employed under him. Tht Jury converfed fome time among them felves, and returned a Verdi& of Accidental Death as to all the perfons who were the objetts of the • Inquifition. The unfortunate men had many vifible marks of bruifes, wounds, and hat:tures, in confequence of the water having driven them againft the fides of the dock and piles forming the dam. The Coroner ifrued his warrant for their burial: their bodies have been claimed by !their refpc4tive friends. \ I ), I
