NATIVE MUSIC. 1,4 ; 4 ) c It" . * AI Strabal * l rv, ever dear; • While time faminvell year varied not, Methinks angelic forms are near, Aerial warblings round me coat ' Now sadly sweet the numbers glide, And Pity mourns the tender woes Of her who" wept a widow'd bridr, 4 Where soft the classic Yarrow flows! And now the strains, in tears they steep, For him who leaves his native shore ; Who, doom'd to cross the western deep, Shall never see Lochaber more! Breathe, gentle airs! and draw the tear For her, the maid in beauty's pride, Who mourns her absent lover dear, • By Logan's fairy-haunted side! Symphonious sounds . l whosswarbled strain Cbmes cuol'd sweet from yonder glade; ~,y ... • r ' v_ :~ Ye bring my childhood back spin; - Ye speak of days for ever fled Dais of delight ! when free to stray Where slow the North-esk winds along, ' I listcn'd to your lave-torn lay, I joy'd to bear your Doric song. So the poor Swiss, as pensive, slow, He journeys o'er seine foreign clime, if chance he hear these wild notes flow, • 'That tooth's' bias on his hills sublime; • So with delighted ear attends; So zoosts.their magic melody; Bethinks him of his home and friends, And gives them sad, a tear—a sigh ! PANTHEON THEATRE.—Mr. MUSGRAVE, late of tbs . ! Manchester Theatre, made his first appearance here, ' last night, as Octavian, in' Mr. CIMMANPS play of The • Mountaineer:. He possesses 111 the externals necessary for the scenic profession, a fine manly person, and an' expressive countenance. His voice - is more than ! usually powerful ; but, at the same time, extremely flexible. He supported the part with ability, and was most favourably received. Mrs. Moon was the torevda of the evening—she acted will dignity and feeling. Her interview with her father was truly affecting. Mr. HARWOOD, as Sadi, and Miss Gitz- Vll LE, as anus, rendtred the lighter part of the play exceedingly amusing. Mrs. LUND% Floranthe was a highly finished performance. Fler appearance in ;masculine habiliments was uncommonly pleasing.— The play went off with the greatest eclat. , MATRIMONIAL ALLIANCE IN HIGH LIFE•-•- 4 StOtr, the ciateau of the Marquis of BUCKINGHAM, will ex. hibit a scene, shortly, of the utmost gaiety And splen dour.

George, under suspicion of being concerned in the theft.--4. Thorogood stated, that He is a butcher's prrter. On last Saturday week he saw J. ' Oates at the bottom of Fleet Market, who gave him the two sides of veal in question, to carry' to Mr. ' Ring's,' ir. Newgate Market, for Ole. When he brought them there Mr. King asked him who they belonged to, and on being informed that-they were Oates s, he told the witness to carry them to Mr. Boyce's, as he (Mr. Kiel) would tavern:ailing to do with them. He earned them there, and hung them up ; the owner of them almost immediately found them out, and ruoird waitaken into cus tody, and had been detains 4 antil Tuesday last, the prosecutor taking little or no pains to discover the I true offender.—J. Coates, of 23,Warwick-lane, swore to the veal, he having slaughtered the calf himself, ' 1 at George's mother's, in .Smithfield.—Tbere being nothing at all to criminate George, he was discharg. ed; but Oates, who said he had nothing to say for I -himself, Was fully committed for trial. Davis ' an old miserable.looking fellow, was charged by Ann Lloyd, of No. 3, Peter-streat, Sat fi•on4till, widow, with exposing his naked person in the most indecent manner, on Snow-hill, on Tuesday night.—The prosecutrix stated, that she and her -ranter were returning home, up Newgate-street, with a child in their hands, when the prisoner, and a wo- man with him, was walking behind them. The pri soner trod on the child's heel, and, when complained of, he made a kick at it, but did not hurt it. The complainant remonstrated with him on the impro- putty of his conduct ; but, instead of snaking any apology for it, he and his companion joined in the grossest abuse of them, until being left by hu com panion, the hairy ruffian took the opportunity of ex posing himself in the disgusting manner before alluded to. He, now, in the most abject manner, fell down on his knees, and implored the pardan of the Magistrate and prosecutrix, begging-them to take pity on him on account of his witeand family. On acknowledging the heinousness of his offence, and promising never more to he guilty of such monstrous conduct, the prosecutrix, in c nsideration of his chil. dren, consented to his being discharged, which was done accordingly. Seagood, aged 15, charged with picking a Cen: tleman's pocket of his handkerchief, was, at his own request, sent on board the tender. Uaton-HALL.—Yesterday the following ten re. l efteetable female inhabitant householders of Oakley.' street were broug! t before the timing Magistrates, Mr. Blanks and Mr. CHALISKRS, charged with keep ing disorderly houses, recept.cles for common prosti- • tutes, viz. .Plizabeth Chairman, dna Foreier., Jaae Pee-1 der, Hannah Redshaw, Mary-Ann Clad, Sarah Hannah, • Sarah May, friary Barris, Mary Aingstone, and Susan.! nah Ruud —Mr. Brows, the acting Parish Officer for ' Lambeth, stated, that the respectable part of the j inhabitants were determined, if possible, to rout out the infamous hordes of common prostitutes which were formed in that parish, to the great annoyance ! of the decent and well-disposed residents. The street in question was one of those most infested. Repeated I warnings had been given to the prisoners by himself i and the other Parish Officers, but without effect ; and they had been obliged to apprehend the offenders, , against whom they'woold proceed with rigour, un less the nuisances were immediately abated. The facts of the houses being disorderly were sworn to ; and the prisoners, for want of good bail, were com mitted to Horsemonger-lane gaol for the night. One of them (Sarah Hannah), who . appeared to be near 70 years of age, said she had been deceived into tak ing a house tri this description, or she would raver have been found getting a living in such a vile way. Mr. BlaNl6, the Magistrate, however, recollected this unfortunate deluded woman as having kept a house notoriously bnd in Angel-court, Cnaringcross, in which a man was murdered, near 20 years ago; and when charged with having done so, she did not deny , it.— Wm. Redshaw, the husband of another of the women, came to offer himself as bail for his wife ; when he received the p/earixg information flow the Magistrates, that the law considered him as a prim cipal, and that he could not - hinwlf retire till he !, found two good securities. Failing to do so; he also was sent to Horsemonger-lane. Adward Early, a baker, and overseer of the poor in the parish tit Peckham, was fined 4'9. 10s. for: exposing to sale 27 quarters, and 21 hallaquartern ! loaves, deficient in weight 75t ounces. The bread was forfeited. CHILD-317.AL1NG..-?Yeste,rday a wretched-looking. woman, far adv.:axed in years, was detected in de coying away a child from the door of its ['Arent, Mrs. WIN TCRTON, in Dove-court, Westminster. She was followed, by a person who knew the child, to the en treat* of Tothill-fields, where the thild was taken from her, and she received a severe ducking in ti ,c pond, by the infuriated mob that assembled on the occasion. THE MURDER NEAR WINCIIESTER.--Yesterday, Taunton, the Officer, arrived in town, from Winches ter, where had been to enquire into the particulars of the dreadful murder committed on the person of the Rev. Nicholas Weste.wribe. It appeared, that the man who is in custody, under suspicion of being the perpetrator, has undergone many iutertogatories, in • the greater pant of which he has prevaricated. He is unable to adduce any evidence as to the manner his, time was disposed of the night the murder was com mitted. Taunton states, that -as he was shaving him self on the morning following, a woman, who lived in the house, occidentally let something fall, and so great was the pert u rba t ion of his mind, that he leaped Imre ate glass, in a ',tee of frenzy, and exclaimed violently against her,. for having put him in danger of cutiing his *mat. It is also said, that he had ac quired some knowledge of surgery ; and it appeared by the deposition of a woman who resides at Win chester, that some difference having arisen between them, he seized her by the jugular vein, and would have strangled her had she not obtained assistance. —By the depositions of professional Gentlemen, it seems that Mr.Westeombe must have been first struck with au instrument on the head, and afterwards the jugular vein must have been compressed so as to have caused his death. By the direction of Taunton, the offices adjoining his house were searched, but neither , the watch nor hodicerchief could be found. ' ' N.. 14.1. COURT-if.A.RTIAL. A Court-martial was held on board the Hisznuta, in Port Mahon, on the Bth and 9th of April, fur the trial of Mr. H. S. Morris, Midshipman of his Wapiti's brig CARLOTTA, for disobedience of orders ; for eel. bezzling,or designing to embezzle, the cargo of the St. Vittoria ; and for attempting to desert : and F. Barns and F. Richie, .seamen. Iseksogicig to the Case Loire, for aiding him tbereitwaid itbo for atteePt• ing Ito.deser t. It appeared in evidence, that the CAIbLOTTA de. tained a settee on the 18th of October last, and that the prisoner Morris was sent on board to take charge of her, with erders.to proceed to Malta, in company with the CARLOTTA. He however parted company on the night of the 19th, and went to Port St. Vito, and from thence to Palermo, where he remained 90 days, and sold great part of the cargo. The morning after he sailed from Palermo, he proposed to the crew to sell the vessel and cargo and divide the money, and caused the oakum to he picked out of the vessel's b a tom near the fore hatch, so as to make her leak. He then anchored between Rochelle and Cephalu, landed the remainder of the cargo, andagreed with a person of the name of Felippo to sell the wreck and cargo for 573 ounces of gold ; having clone which, tit o more holes were made underneath the counter, and the vessel run on shore. From Ceplialu, Morris ;aid part of the crew (with whom he hscl divided the mo ney), proceeded to Messina,where they remained some days, and were apprehended by Lieutenant-Colonel Gorton, Deputy Quarter•Masw-General, as they were op the point id taking a boat to go over to Ca labria, and sent prisoners to Malta. The Court found the prisoners guilty. and sentenced Morris to be mulcted of all pay and pr ze money, to .be imprisoned two years in solit try confinement, in such prison of hit Majesty as the Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty shall direct, and to be ren dared incapable of ever serving his Maar.srv, his heirs and successors, as an officer or petty officer ; and F. Baynson to be mulcted of all his pay and prize-mo ney, and to receive 200 lashes. In consideration of circumstances, the Court adjiic;ed F. Richie• only to be mulcted of all his pay and prize money,, and to be disposed of as a prisoner of war. • It appeared by the CAALOTTA'S books that be was a French man, and impressed into the service. On the fate Inspectim mad. by the Hon. Commis sioners BOYLE and Dr. Baffin, of the Frei.ch pr;slners at Forvsn, Portchester, and on bovcl the prison-ships in Portsmouth harbour, it proved, there were only 154 pati, nts in the hospitals, out of 20,680 pris These were itll slight cases, not or.a of typhus fever, or of any acute disease, except such as had arisen from cold or indiscr.:tion. Friday the Emerald and Amity transports, from Malta, were released from quarantine, having been undrr that restraint forty days. No sickness of an in fectious nature had ever appeared on board of either. A remarkable instance of productitsmess in the cherry tree is exhibited ip the garden of Messrs. Stainback, in Skirk•eck Quarter, Lincolnshire ; a tree of this kind has a crop considerably,advanced, being the second during this season. In the popleus city of Glasgnw, containing about 1(A.),0(.0 inhabitants, the sna.dl pox h. greatly de clined. .By the Glasgow bills Li mortality it ap pears,-;hat filly-nine persons died by the small pox in 1811, and in 1812 only twenty-four persons died of this disease. Prior to the intrnduc:ic.r. cf vaccina tion, several hundreds annually die 4 of the small pox. Monday last, as Mr. THOMAS TOTILL, ef IlowJen, with his bride and two bride-maids, were going through Holme, near Market Weighton, in' a post chaise, on their way from Howden to Bielhy, near Pocklington, to dine and spend the day ; the post boy ho drove them went at full gallop, and over turned the chaise nearly opposite to the seat of the Hon. Mr. STOURTON : fortunately no lives were lost. The two bride-maids-were much hurt ; one of them, (sister to the bride) received a severe wound in her torehead. They were taken to a nvi4lihouriug house, and a surgeon sent for, irom Market Weighton, who, on inspecting the wound, pronounced it not danger ous. The bri..egroorn and bride were much bruised, is was the post-boy. The chaise was literally dashed to piecos. We find by the West India Papers, that the inha bitants of Old Providence con.iniie in great distress for cloatbing, and every other necessary cf life, in consegnence of the repeated depredations of priva teers from Carthagena. One of these, a schoi ner, commanded by David Libby, and William Mitchell,• committed .the following acts of piracy They plundered the property of Mr. T.mint, taking away from that Gentleman about 106 negroes, with about 60 bags of cotton, besides stock, and all his househ Id furniture, cloathing, 5.:c ; also the property of JAMES D. HOY, deceased, saves, stock, household fur niture, &c. &c. They also entered the house of Mr. Tottezen. Bowls, when at dinner with his family, headed by Libby and Mitchell, with sixteen men, armed with guns, pistols, and cutlasses :—Mitchell attempted to• overset the table, but not succeeding in his intentions, be wickedly smashed all the plates, {fishes, glasses, &c. ;—they then broke open all the trunks and chests, taking away all the wearing ap pa-el of Mrs. BOWIE and Mrs. M , KIEI.I.EIt ; also that of Mr. Bowie and sun, not Laving them a suit.— Mrs. M , KELtaft, finding the house phindered of every article, boldly requested the plunderers to be:aow some charity on her two little children, in giving up some clothes for them, which the villains refused to do.— During the plunder, one of the Officers of the said privateer stood over Mr. BOWIE with a cutlass, to cut him down if he attempted to make any resi.tance ; and Mitchell, with a gun at his breast cocked, to kill ; the first person• who should oppose them. They also went to the cotton•house of Mr. Bowls, and took away 50 bags of cotton : they then went all through the island, plundering •the rest of the inhabitants in the same manlier, of their negroes, cotton, and cloath ing, besides destroying all the stock they met with, of cattle, hogs, and fowls. The villains were not satis. fed to rob their house', but took the hats off their heads. They also took away the schooner Prudentia, belonging to Mr. Bowie, loaded her with cotton, and on their departure, spitefully 'chopped up all the fish ing-canoes belonging to the different inhabitants, tic make fire-wood. The principal inha'uitants of Sr. At:Areal have evacuated that island, in consequence of t h e depredation." I.IIC t4VA. , LIS a Idea Maar ••••••••• Cution.

These vessels must have been deposited here at a very remote period, as the house, under the foundation of which they were discovered, was at least 200 years old. The small pot has undoubtedly been wed for the 'purpose of pouring out libations on the altar, during the rime of sac' irking, as it is of the same con• strucriou as thuse that were employed by the Romans in their religious ceremonies.
