r TO THE EDITOR OF nag suit, Stn-It is a little remarkable that the " I MPROMrr y on a late Senatorial Sermon by a new-made Bishop," i ns erted in your Paper of yesterday, should so much rese mble another Imraossrrty, which I had written so ne years ago, on a Sermon by the lime Reverend Di gn itary on a similar occasion, It is not likely that t h e wr iter of the lines, (inserted in the STAR) had ever seen the tetrastic which is now transmitted, as it ne ver, to my knowledge, had appeared in pint : ON A CERTAIN DIGNITARY BEING APPOINTED TO PREACH BEFORE A CERTAIN ASSEMBLY. well-exuar g h, we all must own, That Grodetwogh should preach; For ladoseosh, It is well known, Are those he has to teach!

Hoc PARK. —Yesterday the fineness of the weather invited a considerable number of fashionables to this favourite lounge. The fair have not yet, however, thrown of the fear of colds from the dampness of the r ound, and the majority were consequently immersed in carriages. Of these there was a great skew, from the humble chaise and pair, to the dashing barouche and four in hand. The Ride also boasted of many visitors---among whom we noticed several of the most renowned sporting characters. Tits CliAsE.—The Earl of DERBY turned out a fine Stag, on Thursday .morning. The day being very fine, and being his Lordship's last hunt this sea son, a numerous field of Sportsmen assembled by half past ten, at Walton Heath, where the Stag was turned out, and went off in fine style, across Box bill, and by Dorking. He then made for the Sussex road, towards Brighton, after which he headed back, and was taken three miles on the other side of Hor sham, after a hard run of five hours and a half. Only seven gentlemen were in, several of the horses being knocked up ; one of them dropped down dead, and two others are not likely to survive. It was allowed to be one of the greatest day's sport of the season.— Ws Lordship took a chaise and four from Horsham to town. The following circumstance occurred at the Hun tingdon Assizes :—An action was tried for the reco yry of the sum of 331. for the price of three heifers. Tile sale took place at a public house, and the Land- lady was brought up to prove the contract ; and who stated the Court, that previous to the bargain being struck, theta: was a good deal of botheration. Mr. Ser _leant Sellon, on cross-examining one of the witnesses for the Defendant, said to him, 4 , you have heard what Mrs. Bird has said about this contract, and that she says that there was a good deal of/mil/era:ion before it was concluded ; Twill thank you to inform the Court what is the meaning of the word botheration ?" " Why, Sir (says he) it is something like what is passing be tween you and me." Lord SELsEA has left Grosvenor-street, for West Dean, Midhurst, Kent. The Hon.

The Earl and Countess of DERBY arrived, on Thursday evening, at their house, in Grosvenor square, from their seat, at the Oakes, for the season. The Duchess of MONTROSE had a very indifferent night, and was considered last night much the same as on the preceding day. The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND is nearly reco vered from his indisposition. The Earl of RADNOR left town on Thursday, for his serf, Longford Castle. The person who has undertaken to walk to Wind sor, and drink at every public house on the road, seems to have no relish for dry wagers !

October, 1807, with the reasons assigned for such a pplications. It contains a list of no .ess than sixty-five ships, the laders of which had ':as abandoned their intended voyages, and asked ,eare to re-land cargoes of British manufactures and pre•cbce, which had been actually shipped by them for exportation, because the rigid execution cif the Decrees of '''ranee made it impossible fur them to ob tam admittance into tie ports of the Continent.

CHATHAM, APRIL 12. Early on Tuesday morning. during the violent gale which prevailed, three French officers effected their escape from the Behama, in a small boat belonging to an officer of that ship ; the boat was found on shore nearly opposite the ship, but the officers have not yet been heArd of ; they all speak English tolerably well, and have plenty of money. GREENOCK, APRIL 13. As the Lord Melville, AULD, passed the Impress Tenders stationed here, on her way to Port-Glasgow, on Monday night, guns were fired to briar . her to, but the Captain and Pilot being both of opinion that this could not be clones without the hazard of getting 1 on shore, they therefore agreed to stand on ; upon which the Tenders manned their boats and pulled after. One of them soon came up with the ship, and immediately boarded her, and in the scuffle, the 2d Mate was so severely wounded as to require surgical assistance to replace his intestines, and sew up the wound. Eight men were taken away, the ship run aground, and a couple of tides were lost thereby. — She is now safe in Port-Glasgow harbour. FROM LLOYD'S LIST.

Seery pro ceeded adjudicatiod- cases the following 3.-- Caroline, Doak thister..—This American Vessel, laden with cotton, rice, &c. was bound from New York to Cherbourgh at the time of capture. It ap peared that she took on board public dispatches, which came from the French Ambassador and Con sul resident at the United States, addressed to official persons in the Government of France. The Court was of opinion, that a neutral merchantitian had no right to take public dispatches of this nature, but at the same time held, she hid not subjected herself to confiscation, as in the cases alseady determined, where the dispatches were taken on board at the colony of the enemy, and coming to the mother country, and therefore restored the ship and cargo, subject to all the captor's expences. Susan, Howard master —This American ship, laden with wine, brandy, &c. was going from Bor deaux to New York at the time of capture. It ap peared that papers of a public nature were taken on: I board at Bourdeaux, addressed to ofgeial persons at, the Isle of France. Skip condemned and cargo re stored. Banett master.—This American vessel, with a cargo of various merchandize, was bound from St. Domingo to Gottenburgh. Ship and cargo restored, on payment of . the captor's necessary ex pences. Thalia, Selliman master.—This American vessel, ' laden with wine, brandy, &c. ins bound from Bour deaux to Philadelphia at the time of capture (in via. , lation of the Order is Council of the 11th of Novem ber). Ship and cargo restored, subject to the captor's expences. % ~~--~-- TUESDAY, APRIL 5. Stadt Hamhurgh, Visser master.—This Hambro' vessel, laden with wine, &c. was bound from Bour deaux to Tonningen, at the time of capture. This was a further proof case in respect to the cargo, and numerous proofs were exhibited for certain parcels of goods, some of which were restored, and others con demned. • Inger Margaretha, A slagson master.—This vessel, laden also with Wine, was bound from Bourdeaux to Lubec. Property pronounced to be Lubec, and Bri tish claimants and captors expences to be paid out of the freight. Mary, Bortil master.—This was a British vessel, laden with coals and white lead, which had been de tained under an embargo, on suspicion of the cargo being Danish property. Cargo condemned to the Crown, and three months demurrage allowed for the detention of the ship, to be paid out of the proceeds of the cargo. WEDNESDAY, APRIL G. Union, Baker mister.—This American vessel, la- den with various merchandize, was bound from Am sterdam to Madeira, and thence to Sant.' Cruz, at the time of capture. The ship had been already restored, and the question now was, with respect to the. na tional character of the per Son who claimed the cargo. On the part of the captors it was contended, that he was a butchman. The Court, however, was clearly of opinion, that he was to be considered as an Ameri can, and consequently was entitled to the restitution of his property. sAVAIDAY, APRIL 9. Flira, Christianson master.—This vessel sailing under Danish colours, laden with flax, masts, &c. was on a voyage from Riga to Carril in Spain, when captured by the private ship of war Betsey, Captain Harrison, and sent to Plymoutlt. This was a further proof case as to the cargo, the ship having been pre viously restored, which proof the Court deemed suffi cient, restored the same, and reserved the question re ; specting the captors delay in bringing in the account of sales. Hope, Jones master.—This American ship, laden with various merchandize, on a voyage from Bour deaux to New York, was captured by the privateer May, Captain Vinnicombe, and carried to Falmouth. It appeared that the carters had consented to the re storation of the ship and cargo, but before possession was delivered, the captors obtained information that a trunk, containing public dispatches, sealed with the Imperial signet of France, and addressed to various persons at Martinique, was secreted in the hold, which were found. The Court condemned the ves sel, but there being nothing to affect the cargo, the same was restored. • ' MoNVAIC, APRIL 11. Globe, Coffin master.—This American ship, laden with tobacco and coffee, bound from Baltimore to Amsterdam, was captured by the Venus privateer, R. Jolly, Commander. Ship restored, and further proof directed to be produced as to the cargo. Nra. Sra.

Duckworth, 'and other Flavfficers under his com mand, who had directions from Lord Collingwood to go in pursuit of the Rochefoit squadron. On the part of- Lord Collingwood it was contended, that this was to be considered as a special service performed by Sir T. Duckworth, acting under his orders, with the in tention of returning to join the squadron as soon as the same was accomplished. On the other side it was con tended, that this was a distinct service. The Court took time to consider of its sentence. - , - l _...,vuoikf AtAitatt , • , ...a. . , 114814.CrOk i lf kg / tiilkki AT wisitipol, Arai i 4( what lief load in' bas to sai • us. birlgy s pef glartet *Waal& - to • Os. as-44: i Oats • . • • ....4lios* . .tois Ad. 44si ma& • New Beans 54a.• 1 44 - -1111 1111 c 0 , 41 s • Old ditto .4 1 to ISSI.

It is a known fact that several persons have sus pended their intentions to build houses, until after the determination, next Tuesday se'nnight, of the City Lottery. This postponement will hardly be deei e I unwise, when the great expense of the various mate rials for building is opposed to the very immaterial case of a Ticket. in the City Scheme. Several days before the Drawing of :the Ingot, Boydell's, and Bowyer's Lotteries, the Tickets rose from three to five guineas ; and on the morning of drawing, not one to be had at any price. Hhawsev and Co. having every prospect before them, that the like circumstance will occur in the City Lct.ery demand for Tickets and Shares being unusually great) they beg leave to recommend to all those who pur pose to have a chance, not to delay buying. The pub l'c utility of the plan is such as cannot fail to recom mend it to the notice of the Citizens of Loudon, as well as having a chance worth the purchase. No. 26, 'Cornhill ; No. 52, Charing Cross ; and St. Margaret's Hill, Borough. Wednesday night the shop of Mr. PEARCE, Shoe maker, in Hanway-yard, was broke op*. r For tunately a lamp-lighter, in going his rounds, disco vered a hole in one of the shutters, large enough to admit a boy, which induced him to give an alarm, and the thieves, who were then in the shop, opened the door and effected their escape before assistance ar rived, taking each a parcel of goodlin a handkerchief. Yesterday evening, about dusk, a very decent look ing elderly woman, seeing a street-door open near Thayer-street, Manchester-square, went up stairs without being observed. On going out she was seen, and -said that she had been in quest of a person she supposed.to have lodged in the house. Shortly after, ihe was followed; and upon search being made about her person, it was found that she had stolen some ar ticks of wearing apparel from the house. Last night, at nine o'clock, as a post-chaise stopped at the door of Mr. *Namara, in thirWeston.street, a fellow cut a trunk from behind the chaise, and carried it off some considerable distance. Upon being pursued he dropped the trunk, but was taken and lodged in Mary-la-bonne watch-house. ECCLESIASTICAL and ACADEMICAL PROMOTIONS. CAMBRIDGR ' Aran. IL—The Rev.
