T o my f r iend Desereue, 1 bequeath my little brown hunter, together with my guns, dug., and other sporting apparatus, which, I think, will am !se him, and teal to dram away the recollection of the tedious hours I have maJe him spend.

GEO GOSTLING, NATII cos rUNG, t Dep. Itersters. It C. CNESSWELL,. GEN. HAMILTON . ' FUNERAL. (From the New lank Alreit;ser.) The funeral of that great man took place on Saturday, agreeably to the arrangements published in our last. The procession left the house of John B. Church, Esq. about Id o'clock. and was two hours reaching Trinity Church. The Pall was supported by General Matthew Clarkaaa. Oliver Wooden, E.q. Richard Minivan, Eq. Abijah Ilaniennnd, E•q. Javnh lla len Hoffman, EN. Richard l'arick, EN. William Kiynaid, EN. and JuJG• Lan react. On the top of the coin were the General's hat and sword. His grey horse dressed, in mourning, was led by two black servants. dressed in white. and white boots and spurs, reversed, the turbans trim med with black. The General's horse. The four young sons of the deceased, John B. Church, Esq. Washington Merton, Esq. Mr. Mal com, Arc. followed the corpse as mournei s. The procession having arrived at the church. after a short pause, Governor Morris, 1 ,. .5q. rose on an elevation in front, and addressed the surrounding speaators. (General Hamilton's four mat, sad Mr. Church being on the stage with him). He was at first so much afedted, that it was with difficulty he could proceed ; but, having recovered, he reca pitulated very concisely the services which General Hamilton had rendered his country as a soldier—as a statesman—and as a professional man at the Bar. The following sentence had the most powerful tf ft.& upon the feelings of the speaators—alluding to the General's circumstances, be said. " Hr hes ley? yea his fame ; and it is all the inheritance of these orpliaxs!" turning sound to General Hamilton's sons. After Mr. Morris's address, the corpse was car. tied into the church-yard. where the usual funeral service was performed by Bishop Moore, and the body interred with military honours. In the procession, were Colonel Barclaythe Eng lish Consul General. the French Agent. Spanish Consul, and other foreign; agent , , the officers of the French frigates now in Wir harbour, and several other chara6ters of distindlon The bells of the different churches were muffled, and tolled during the day, and minute guns tired from the battery until the corpse was interred. The military made a mournful appearance. and the funeral was highly deep and interesting. A deep gloom pervaded the countenances of all, the stores were ail shut, and no business was done. To the honour of the British and French nations, let it be observed that the Rsitsio frigate, at Sandy H auk and the two French frigates in port. had their yards crossed, and their colours hoisted half mast. and fired minute guns during the morning. All the shipping in port had their colours hoisted half mad. net a :tease, unto my said for I t.. be in any V▪ . of her prem.

Colonel Burr Arrived flat on the ground, as had been agreed ; when General Hamilton waived, the patties exchanged salutations, and the seconds pro ceeded to make their arrangements. They measured the distance, ten full paces, and cast lots for the choice of position; as also to determine by whom the word should be given, both of which fell to the second of General Hamilton. They then proceeded to load the pistols, in each other's presence, after which the parties took their stations. The gentle man who was to give the word, then .explained the rules that were to govern them in fit ing, which were as follows : rh, parties being placed at their situations, the second who gives the word shall ask them, if they are ready; being answered in the affirmative, he s'iall say, present; after this the par ties shall present and fire when they clease. If one fires before the other, the opposite second shall say, one, two, three, fire. He shall then fire, or lose his fire. He then a‘ked, if they were prepared ? being answered in the Affirmative. he gave the word 44 present." as had been agreed on, and both parties presented and fired in succession. The intervening time is not expressed, as the seconds did not pre cisely agree on that poi:it. The fire of Colonel Burr took effed, and General Hamilton almost imme diately fell. Colonel Burr then advanced toward General Hamilton, with a manner and gesture that appeared expressive of regret ; but without speak ing, turned about, and withdrew; being urged from the field, by a friend, with a view to prevent his being recognised by the surgeon and bargemen, who were then approaching. No further corn munication took place het%% een the principals, and the barge that carried Col. hut I, returned to the city. Mr. P. expressed a confident opinion General Ha milton did not fire first, and that he did not fire at ail at Colonel Burr. Mr. V. N. seemed tonally con fident in opinion, that General Hamilton did fire first, and, of course, that it must have been at his antagonist. After he was wounded, and laid in the boat, the first words he uttered, after recovering the power of speech, were (addressing himself to a Gentleman present), 04 Pendleton knows I did not mean to fire at Colonel Burr the first time." After the General died, it was discovered his ball had passed through the limb of a cedar tree, at the elevation of twelve feet and an half from the ground ; between thirteen and fourteen feet from the mark on which General IL stood; and four feet wide of the direa line of him and Colonel Burr. A Letter from Malta, dated June 28, states, that ere \'sge► and Thisbe frigates were appointed to con. vny the Trade to England, and to sail on the sth of July, provided the Agiseerthri man of war did not anise there nom Gibraltar before that tiara. GATE. Avourr le. • • • . . • The gratd masqueraue announced for some tine tt the theatre, took place last right. Prep truisms had been made for it corresponding with the `cast interest which it had excited. 'I he prepatati ins • were not thrown away, nor was the expeflation dis,. • appointed. The House was crowded in every part: The ISOM:I displayed a most elegant company. I was highly delighted with this entertainment. It. was the first Masquzrade I ever saw upon this plan, and no Play I ever witnessed gave me more sa tisfation. There were many excellent chara,gers. Foremost upon the list of merit, was a Es ior; I should suppose his Blot...eyed NW/ was not in the motley groupe, as his visit was short, at leas; in that charader. A ffa;v-Deerver appeared very anxious to scrape an acquaintance with every one, and ! mg; of himself off with such kledt, as almost to turn the head of a fair Ballad-ring. r, while all the men wisned , him at Old Scratc4. A Gras, ..141,,e threw out sonic wild, simple notes, that thrilled to the heart. She would make an admirable Qphe/ia. Some Gqpret supported their charaders with truth and. spirit. A more thieving, fitcheng set, never infested Norwood. They vole etfery bran that they could come at ; and as for stolen glances, they had thell in abundance. An excellent Quaker, Farmer, &c. also figured their hour upon the stage, and attraded moch notice. The hour of assembling was attended Witt gieat noise and confusion, many of the ma‘ks, fcr want of carriages, bring obliged to walk. I don't think I ever saw Thames-street more crowded, than, the neighbourhood of the Theatre seas for a while, but not an accident happened. The anteing althntig% not general, was kept up with spirit. The magic scene was not dissolved until a late lulu-, %Atli toe company parted, highly pleased with the elltertais spent, and the attention of the Managers. - - - SIIAM ATTORNEY. Yesterday, a. singular fr...em happened in the neighbourhood of the Asylum, St. George's FloLis. A young man of that vicinity has, for somi: assumed the appearance of an Attorney, by carry- • in g a large d imask hag, greatly distethLd. Twks t of his neighbours, knowing the deception, resolved to expose this pretender to the art and ni.-st:ries of the black letter. One snatched the papers hut of his puclut, while the other cut the kittom of the bag, when out came a breast of mutton, a quarter;; loaf, and several other articles of provision. A scut& succeeded the exposure; the sham A•torney attack ed the assailants with great cau.age, aril, after an apsintit and Santry, to which his opp :nents e, ri, tr.•eil e he withdrew to Georgeessow, where a verdi3 was entered in his favour. Yesterday. the First Regiment of Surrey Volan seers were inspesied in Montpelier Gardens. by General Gamy:taus. The Corps mustered about four hundred, and were complimented by the In. speiting USzcr on their discipline aad soldier like appearance. •Fhe removal of the houses lately purchased by the Dean and Chapter of Westminster. w!.ieh stood near the eastern angle of the Abbey. has consi derably improved the appearance of that venerable stra3ure i and exposed to vi.-w a part of Henry the Seventh's C:apel, which has nQt been seen for up wards of a ceaturi. Thursday, Mr. Teerrr. of Hatton Garden (Ace took the road to Abingdon, in pursuit of one of the prisoners of the name of Fivne.s, who made his es-w• or out of the House of Correslion, Cold Bath Fields. on Monday last, by means of a ladler GC I ropes: not hearing any tidings of him at A'iinedobi. en his return home in a post c!iaise, he descrii-J thdi man walking on the rued. immediately secured bioar and gave him a ride back to the prism. "a 1 Several people are taken up on sii.picion of mass celerating the escape of the prisoner as wall as ono+. titer who is not yet taken. Several persons in a respeaable line of life were Tuesday committed to Exeter gaol. by the Solicitor of the Admiralty at Plymouth, for having r luable King's stores (viz. copper-bllts, nail., &c. quite new from the manufaaureri) found in their posses. skin. They will take their trials at the next Est.ter Assizes. . . . 1 From the late tempestuous norms, we have been in d silt' expectation of finding the old buildings at the corner of Ho4weU-street blown down, as p srt of them are crack2d in the brick work, from the foun dation to the top, and others are so overhung threaten every person who passes TWO' them W'th de 'lnaction. We Ate surprised the City (wh.) have purchased them) Jo not give ardent for them to be pulled down. A melancholy occurrence happened on Saturday last, at the seat of W. Kosa rots, Esq. M.P. Tattoa Park, Cheshire:—As his Lady and Miss Ease rum were taking an airing in a one-horse chaise. in the Park, on a sudden (hy a fright, as supposed), Mrs. EGZILTJm leaped out, fell, an 1 never spoke again. she was fax advanced in her pregnancy, expetilig hourly to be confined. Mr. EOUTOW has been ever since delirious, having been Jimmied only ten months. On Monday, as two sailors were going to a sh;p lying off the Red House, at l)ept h 'rd, they were haii:d by thee , : men armed with cutlasses, in a po;icu boar, and ordered to come on hoard, with w:tich they complied, but not liking their destined port (tne tender), contrived to knock them overboard, and afterwards jumping ever themselves, swam to the shore and escaped. On Sunday evening, there was caught in the sal mon stake nets at Woodhaven, a fine sturgeon. The length, from the point of the nose to the tip of the tail, was eight feet and half an inch ; circumference, at thickest part, two feet ten inches ; and weight nine stone and a half. The fortunate fishermen brought it to Dundee, where, after being exhibited as a shew, it was on Tuesday cut up, and sold at lb. per pound. On Sunday last, about half past twelve o'clock at night, a fire broke out in a small cottage, at Gal lows Green, Tenterden ?Catwi:.istanding Imme diate assistance was given, it was entirely consumed. with form adjoining tousles, and a small house belonging to Mr. Wawa. with the test part of furniture, linen and wdarin; appirsl , a to the great distress of those who inhabited them. such was the rapidity of the flames, that the whole wer: cyn stuael in three quarters of as
