NEWLY-1N VENTED BOAT. NORTII BERWICK, MAY 16.—About eight o'clock this morning, a novelty unknown in this place before, attracted the attention of a numerous assemblage of spectators. A boat, manned by tour men, proceeded from this harbour to Canty-bay, a distance of two' miles, and, after refreshing the crew, proceeded round the Bass-rock, and returned about a quarter past nine, having performed their voyage in the space of an hour and a quarter, gross time, being upwards of six miles, the whole performed without either sails, oars, or any steam apparatus. The invention is entirely that of a respectable millwright here, who expects a patent before he publishes the means of impulsion. Mr. BUONAVITA t a highly respected ecclesiastic, above 70 years of age, one of the five persons who joined NAPOLEON about two years ago, having been forced to quit St. Helena by an illness which threat ened almost immediate dissolution, arrived at Graves end in the Orwell East Indiaman, on the lOth inst. suite exhausted by disease, and the length of the voyage. The venerable sufferer was seized by the Officers of the Alien Department, and imprisoned on board the - FLAMER brig. He applied to Lord SID ' UOUTH for permission to land, if only for a few hours, to endeavour to recruit his wasted health ; but instead of granting him this indulgence, the Officers were ordered to keep him close on board the ship, and not even permit him to see his friends, or have any communication with the shore. The reverend old Gentleman then applied for a passport to go to the Mediterranean, but this also was refused him ; and after detaining him . a prisoner for a week on board the FLAMER, he was on Thursday last sent on board the Malin) cutter, and she sailed immediately. By letters from Malta, dated the 17th April, we learn that the plague had made its appearance again in the Lazaretto, where, out of twenty-three persons, forming the crew of a vessel from Alexandria, thir teen had fallen victims; but the circumstance had occasioned no alarm, as the Lazaretto was on the best footing, and through the rigorous measures pur sued by Sir fuciatAs MAITLAND, the ravages of the malady ate prevented from spreading. Cases of plague are not unfrequently seen in the Lazarettoes in the Mediterranean, but by the regulations strictly en forced, they are confined to those establishments. rffeeTRES. Knues Mama —Last night the Duke and Du chess of Ccaacvcc honoured the Italian Opera with their presence. II Turco in Italia was repeated syjth increased effect. Mad. FANNY BIAS made her Mrst appearance before an English audience, in the Di vertisernent between the Acts of the Opera. She per formed a pas seul, and danced a pas de trois with ALEERT and Mademoiselle Noat.zr. Her reception was highly flattering. Her style is characterized by extreme neatness of execution, attended, in appear ance, with an entire absence of all effort. The tout ensemble of the Diverthement, from the combination of so many dancers of the first class, was very striking. The House was crowded with beauty and fashion. Thway-LANs.—Last night, the performance of SHERIDAN'S excellent Opera of the Duenna gave another opportunity to Miss WILSON to display her vocal powers in the part of Clara. She was encored in most of the songs. The laughable Afterpiece of Tice Midnight flour followed, and was received with much approbation. The House was well attended. COVENT-GARDEN.—A Farce, called The Grand Tour; or, Stopped at Rochester, was produced at this Theatre yesterday evening. The fable, which is something intricate, is as follows: Sebright and IllushMston (Jonas and Duitusrr), attended by a chattering Frenchman, Mons. Pastotelli, propose to make the tour of Europe; their funds are slender; but, when cub shall have evaporated, they will draw, dance, and fiddle through the rest of the campaign. Arrived at Rochester, Blushington sees Miss Caroline Venture, the daughter of a failing specula tor, and, of course, falls in love with her; the Lady (Miss Foam), according to immemorial custom in such cases, returns his passion, and, at that point, in front of old Venture's house, the Piece begins. The weight of business rests upon Mr. Joon. lie contrives to get Blushington invited into Venture's house; misdirects Valentine Violet, Esq. (Liston), a Holborn varnish maker, half buck half booby, who is come down to marry Miss Caroline; and, to the astonishment of his friends, arrives at Ven ture's house as the expected bridegroom. As Mr. Violet is un known, the cheat passes. Sebright recognises Mushington as his old acquaintance, talks of his (Blushington's) high connexions, his uncle, the banker; his cousin, the contractor; and his brother, the General. Discovering their rivalship, be becomes furious; but his friend's high connexions work wonders on his rage: he will not fight him lest be should be tried by his uncle, the Judge; if he did fight, and were wounded, he would certainly send for his other uncle, the King's Physician; and if he died, he would choose to be buried by his third uncle, the Bishop. The soul of Venture is overcome by these titles as by " a summer cloud ;" he wishes to have Blushington for his son-in-law ; the false Vio let consents; and away they all go, in high glee, to the house of Mr. Indenture, the Attorney ; at Indenture's house they find the real Simon Pure; discovery follows; the rogues escape as I they can, and the first Act is at an end. The second Act Is oc cupied by farther stratagems to prevent the " post haste" wed ding of Mr. Violet and Miss Caroline. Sebright, disguised, mingles with the company assembled at Venture's, and, like t!se goblin fiend in the Castle of Branksome, scatters dismay and confusion through the house. He persuades Violet that his bride elect has committed a four pas. He discovers the bride groom elect to be on the edge of the Gazette and developes that fact to the Lady's father; finally, he persuades Old Screw, the real uncle of Biushington, to give bins half his fortune; and the Piece concludes to the satisfaction of all parties. —There is a good deal of bustle, and some well executed scenery ; and the acting of Ltsrow, JONES, EMERY, and Miss FOOTE, was admirable. The Piece was given out for repetition, with some approbation. SADLER'S WELLS.-A new Ballet was produced at this Theatre on Monday night, for the first time, under the title of the Jovial Millers. The graceful dancing of Sr. Acuta, Miss GARBOIS, and Miss Soon., drew forth thunders of applause. The fa vourite story of Richard and Betty at Hickleton Fair, was recited by Mr..KEELEY, and was received with great approbation. TILE Conono.—This elegant little Theatre conti nues to attract crowded audiences: The perform ances are of that description which cannot fail to give satisfaction. BILLINGSGATE WARD.—Sir W. LEIGHTON having resigned his Alderman's gown, it was yesterday re solved, at a General Meeting of the Inhabitants, to invite Mr. ANTHONY BROWSE to become a candidate, and no opposition is expected. QUEENHITHE WA RD.--.-.(SECOND DAY). —Nearly the whole of this day was occupied in hearing the arguments of five Counsel upon the admissibility of votes. In this contest, which must be closed this evening, the ground is disputed inch by inch. At the close of the Poll yesterday, the numbers were: For Mr. Venable. For Mr. Cape). Majority CONSTITUTIONAL Associa rms.—Yesterday, at the Annual Meeting of the Inhabitants of the Parishes of St. Andrew, Holborn, and St. George the Martyr, for the choice of Governors and Directors for the ensuing year, Mr. CHARLES MURRAY, the Solicitor to the above Society, was, in consequence of his con nection with that Society, refused to be re-elected.— The Meeting was one of the most numerous and re spectable within the memory of the oldest parishioner. RECOVERY or MCA LTH.—A Meeting of the Mem bers of this Society was yesterday held at the Thatched House Tavern, when it was resolved that an Asylum should be provided, which, with Out wounding any feeling of delicacy or independence, might afford re lief to the sick families of respectable artisans, to fe males living on narrow incomes, and well educated persons reduced by the casualties of life. ComerrirroN.—On the .sth instant, at a Vestry held at Overton, Flintshire, the Medical aid Surgical attendance on the poor of the parish, (including me dicines), was actually let for one year for nothing ! DUEL PREVENTEDA duel was to have taken place early yesterday morning in Copenhagen-fields, between Mr. F—N and Mr. S—..-T-11. Half-pay Officers, but in consequence of information received, they were surprised to find an enemy at the place of meeting ; they, however, escaped. CAUTION.—The tradesmen of Hastings have lately been made the almost deserved dupes of that exces sive appetite for the custom of new visitors, which prevails at all the fashionable watering places. A middle-aged female, pretending that she was the housekeeper of a Noble Lord, sent a few days before to prepare all things against his Lordship's coming, was so besieged with rival offers of service, that she had no difficulty in commanding whatever she pleased, and succeeded in swindling the good people, at their own request, out of goofs and effects to a large amount. Some inquiries being at length made after the lady by a person from Eastbourne, she con trived to decamp with her booty before means could be taken for her apprehension. . . The StajUrdshire Advertiser says—'" The notorious Abraham Thornton, though lately reported to be dead, is still living in America." . SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING MEETING.

PIGEON MATCH FOR A SILVER CUP AND COVER. A grand match took place on Eversley Common, Berks, on Monday, between nine Gentlemen of Bucks, Oxon, and Herta, against nine from Hants, Wilts, and Surrey, for a silver cup and cover, and ten guineas in specie, by a subscription of five guineas each, at thirteen birds each, from the trap, at twenty yards from the guu ; charge unlimited.

Mr. Herbert was backed to kill more than any one on his side; and Mr. Fothergill was the favourite on the other side. -s.ör FATAL BOXING. Another death by boxing occurred no board a lighter in the River, on Monday. Two men, named Goddard and Anderson, having had a dispute at a public-house, agreed to go thither and fight it out. The men, who were heavy round slashing bitten, fought for fifty minutes, and both sustained much injury by heavy falls in almost every round. At length Goddard was knocked down, and he was stunned with the blow, his head having fallen heavily upon the planks. His seconds were unable to souse him, and be died in less than two hours. An account from Corfu, dated April 24th, states, that the Greeks were again in possession of Patras. They had also obtained possession of Modone, as the Greek flag was seen flying there by a vessel which passed from Alexandria to Trieste. It was also stated, that the Greeks were in actual possession of Napoli di Romania, the strongest fortress belonging to the - Turks, and which, if the report should be confirmed, must have been taken by surprise, as the Turks are remarkable for their obstinate defence of fortifications. The following is an estract of a letter dated Genoa, May 10:—" Everything continues tranquil here. The Deputations sent to the King have been given to understand that no foreign troops will be allowed to enter the city. In fact, some Austrian picquets, which had reached Voltaggio, on their march hither, have received orders to halt." Baron Nicolay, the Russian Ambassador, is gone with his family to Kiel, and will go by way of Gluck stadt and Cuxhaven to London. A letter horn Burgos of the Ist inst. says—" The Prior and three or four of the brothers of the Con vent del Carmen have been arrested for participation, as is supposed, in the designs of the Curate Merino, against the Constitution. The discovery was effected in a singular manner. The Curate had sent a letter to the Prior of the Convent, telling him that his plans were ripe, and nothing but money was wanted, which he requested him to send by the bearer. Our Poli tical Chief intercepted the messenger, but sent the letter to its destination by another person, similarly habited, who was admitted into the Convent, regaled sumptuously, and presented with a bag of money. The next morning the Prior was surprised by a visit from the Officers of Justice, to whom he for a long time refused entrance, and caused the bells of the Convent to be sounded, in the hope that the country people would flock to his assistance, but without effect, and he and his brethren had, of course, no alternative but to surrender at discretion. Surely these holy persons seek to fill Heaven with martyrs!' No Report has yet appeared from the Agricultural Committee : we observe however, with pleasure, many announcements of reductions or abatements .of rent, among which may be noticed that of the Mar quis of LANSDOWN, who has lowered the rents of his Wiltshire tenants—of Lord GAGE, who has abated one-fourth of the rent due from his Sussex tenantry-- and of the Earl of CHESTERFIELD, and Earl MA*. VICES, who have made a reduction of 10 per cent. on their estates in the Nort}.. In the diary of JOHN EvEt vx,Esq. for the year 1703, is the following entry : "Corn and provisions so cheape, that the farmers are unable to pay their rents."
