It is altogether a matter-piece of art. Having &id this; we may be permitted to °Verve on one of her tendingi that it is a deviatioi, from the tifital manner, with out an advantae ; or rather with a pofitive difad- vantage. She fays:—" Then, learn of me thou art not Norval's fon." A full point at—" Then , learn of me—creates a paufe, which increafei the intereft by preparing Deem fib. the dtovery..

The Alonzo of Mr. H.

IlaursTon, in Carlo:, whines too much. Of the other characters it is unnecellary to make any obfervations. The Houle was, laft. night, well filled, and the applaufe bellowed upon the Piece was very loud and gene. ral, with the exception of one or two i:: ligni ficants, who fubmitted to become the inftrumeat s of a mean theatrical faaion. Mr. Coons varied in time par- Ifages of ate play fr om the reading of Mr. Ks mat s, but we think not to any great advantage. Mr. ADDINOTON took Mr. SHERIDAN behind the Summit's chair yefterday, and converted with him for fome time before he moved the further ad journment.

This tree appears to have increafed nearly one foot and a • half of fohd timber annually. It is a remarkable cirenmftance that by the re gifler of burials belonging to the parifh of St. Mary, in Orford, were appear no funerals in the months of March and July of tflot, and only one in the month of October; as well as that the fune rals of that parifh in the whole year have not amounted, by above one-third, to the general average, which is about ninety, one year with ano ther, whereas by the regifter the funerals of 1801 appear to have been under fixty. , The opinion entertained by fome of . the molt eminent of the Faculty, refpeaing . the preparation of Opium, by Mr .

CAUTION.—A great number of counterfeit feven (billing pieces are now in circulation. They can not be detected by the ring of them as formerly, as they ring the fame as good ones.

It may not Le improper to [late, that, though large as the ' penalties are, the poaching bnfinefs had nearly been of of a Rill more ferious confequence, as Green very•uarrowly efcaped being caught by one "of the flee! traps which are let in the wood, and which mull have taken off one if not both his legs.

Tile fair daughter of a &kilt Senator has lately placed her affaiion on a young handlome Hiber nian.

A buxom young Widow, hearing a Gentleman, a few days fince, tell her father that he was going to advertife for a wife, obferved, that (he thought he might rave the expence of an advertifement.— The Gentleman was not infenfible to her arihery-- her arrow hit him full in the bleaft—Hymen has fince united them. As a &oiling company were performing lately the Play of King Lear in a country barn, the tra gic hero, at the fcene of the pelting florm, Repped forward, and thus addreffed the audience :•41 La. dies and Gentlemen, I humbly beg that you will be fo kind as to fuppofe, at this moment, a war of elements ;" as I am very forty to info; m you. that our 'hinderer is gone tipling to an ale-houle, and that the rats of this barn have defirOyed all the peafe we rattled in a fieve for the rertfentation of bail." It is hardly neceffary to add, that al though the audience was runic, the Tragedy in flantly became a Comedy.
