To delineate this matrons character, he exerted his utmost powers; yet it was a motley pi Lure. Through the greater part cf the first three ads, he rceived great and deserved applause ; par ticularly in the dagker-scene, where he seas most successful; but, in the latter part of the piece, his powers and v. ice were totally inadequate to sustain its dignity. Some marks of disapprobation were shown, towards the close of the third aft, and con• tinued to increase till the end of the piece; when the clarrsoar became very violent Mrs. Povec:.r. postrtrayed the part of Lady Norbe.h, in an admit. able manner, end received mach applause; as did Mr. RAY Moan. for the excellent style in which he sustained the character of Itf,cdef.

THE LORD MAT.Ht's ACE On S aural ty, at twelve o clack, a Special (Newt of A feroten was held, at Guildhall, beim e the Right Hon. the Lord- Mayer. the htisine‘s which caoie before them, respccled the place which the Lord M tyor and Corporation were to take in the ensuing procession. at Lord Nelson's funeral. The Court sat in deliberation until near tan o'clock. A Com mittee ot Aldermen were appointed, and retired for a considerable time to examine, a. it is imagined, into several ancient precedents, which were laid before the Court. What their final determina tion was, remains unknown. At two o'clock. the Lord Mayor took the Chair in the Common Council Chamber. The Count was attended by sixteen Aldermen, and a great number of Common Councilmen. Many strangers were below the bar. The business expetted was, as expressed in the summonses, to take into consideration a point which deeply concerned the honour and dignity of the City of London, the same which had heel' previous. ly debated in the Court of Aldermen. After the rends,* lousiness had been finished, Mr. Sroacs rose, and, addressing the Chair. said, he hoped th it, as the business they had come there to deliberate on, materially concerned the rights and privileges of the city, and, as it was likely that they should be obliged to take the opinion of the Law Officers on many points, he trusted there would be no opposition made, as it was not against any standing order, to the bar being cleared of strangers. For his part, he wondeted how such a praCtice could be alliwed. He was astonish.ll that the Members of the Ciameil, after taking an oath not to divulge the proceedings of the Court, or allow them to he made public, could sitcom a long detate, and see the bar crowded, as it then was. Mr. SA 11ULL DIXON rose to order; and said, he did nor see how the worthy gentleman could hive any knowledge of the business that was to be sub mitted by the Lord Mayor, to the Court. He could have it in no other manner than by a private con ference with his Lordship ; and, he was alrstost con vinced, that he never had any such conference; but, even it he bad, he conceived the Court could not ad en private information, however mpottable the quarter might be from which it came. With ra sped to the oaths they had taken. the worthy gen. tleman was of opinion, that they were not much better than Highgate oaths, concerning the violation of which, few persons had any scruples. There was here a loud cry of order ! eel& • and Mr. Dixon sat down. The LORD NIA YOR then informed the Court, that it was his intention to submit to them a question of the greatest importance to the city. One which would require the most serious deliberation on their rights and privileges. Ins Lordship then ordered strangers to withdraw. His Lordsh p. we unJerstend , then inbrimed the Court, that tram the tunic since he last met them. he had been engaged in it continued negucialion with His Majetty's Itti:tstcrs, upon the suSjeel of his place the tueeral proce•sion of the late Lewd Viscount Nelson. He had contended, he said, that he ought not to give pl ice ar any stibira wh , ,rnso. ever, within the liberties of the City of London, is T--. ~_ ... which ti.e Lord Mayor was His Majesty's Vicoge. rent ; whereas, it was intended that several other persons were to have precedence of him. His Lord s tip then proceeded to quote several preced:nts upon record, particularly the case of Queen Elizabeth's visit to St. Pant's, to ri•itnrn thanks ;-• the Almighty, for the destru:iion of the S,sanish Armada. Also tile cases of the visits of His present Majesty to St. Paul's, in the ye.tr 1749 and 1791'. His Lordship concluded an excellent speech, with assuring the Court, that he WAS no: dirposed to sjcui j ce pi of their rights and privileges ; but to transmit them zo post-rity, undiminished, and in the same state as lie had received them from his predecessor. - Mr. Deputy Bracu lose to move the Civic-, that Application should be made direct to His M.sj isty on this subject, to know his royal will.aoti pl-•astue. The Itlcuttoes, on reading the Motion to the Court, su;rgesttd his doubts as to the legality of Any acts (line by the Members then present, in their CA. V ; the returns of the newly-elected Members not twill been sworn in agreeat'sk to the charter n! the Corporation. a ceremony which could not be d•ine until Plough Monday 1 his produced a long arkument, in which several Members maintained the competency of the C..urt, as at present constituted, to transact public business, while others contended tor the contrary position. In this state of doubt and difficulty, the Lord Mavar desired the proceedings of the Court of Aldermen upon the subjeel might be read. They haJ entered into some spirited resolutions upon the subjea, end had appointed a dlnitation to wait upon Lord Hawkesheriy, on Satur day , noon ; ther e fore, u p on an assurance from the Lord Mayor, that he would take particular care of the right; .4 the Corporation, as well as of his own and those of the Court of Aldermen, the Court broke up without coshing to 3.1 Y determination. LAYING IN S FATE. Yesters.l4y morning, the Painted Hall of Green. wich Hospital, was, for the first time, opened for the inspeaion of the public, arid t h e body of the ever-to-!) lamented Hero, Lord Nelson, was laid out in state. At ten o'clock, near tea thoo,and people had assembled in the Court Yards of the Hospital, anxious for admittance to the Painted Hall; but an or der from Lord Hood, the governor of Greenwich Hospital, was issued, stating. that admittance could not be obtained until after the re turn of the Pensioners from prayers, wheh would be at 11. TheGrecm . wich Volunteerswerepliced int lin. , in order to :cep order; and the River Fenclbles were stationed close to the entrance of the Painted Hall As soon as the doors were opened, the people rushed in with such violence, that many would have lost their lives, had not orders been immediately issued to shut all the iron gates,arvi station a gu.trd at them to pr e ve n t thei r b e i n g I.r ( rd by the crowd. At this moment, the screams if the women and children we r e f, ightful. Several hundreds wet,- so alarmed, that, after having struggled h , r admission for hours, they retired without a prospect of gratiiying thAr curio,ity. Shoes, hats, parte.", skirts of coats, rem nants of cloaks, ac. were flung about in all direc tions. By the judicious ittranternent of the Di rectors of this awful (ere:may. . the public were admit•ed through the northern gates, and retired by ' the eastern, which prevented all contitsi in tli.t Sleight other wise arise in the iagress of the oil: party, and egress of the other. Alutut fifty persons were admitted at a time. and the gate then an e.l ; the pressure at every time of the opening of the gate was dreadful; hundreds were carried away in a state of insensibility, both men, women. aid chil dren. Those who su:ceerlA in gaining admittance. had another ditliculty to encounter. At the foot of the )(tear stairs, leading to the ball, a strong guard of the Royal Greenwich Vclunteers. assisted by a party cd the brave crew of the Victory, armed with boarding pikes, were stationed. who permitted only a f.•w to ascend at a time. Here else the pressure was very great. Another guard was placed at the entrance of the Great 11.a1 Itirtber, to prevent too many persons rushing in together. lit the upper part of the hall, which is elevated above the rest by 1 our 12 steps, a space of about sixty square feet is inclosed by .1 r ailing , arid, in the centre, the body lies in state. At the bead of the coffia sung three mutes, in full dress mourning, with broad black silk scarfs. fring-d weepers, with bags, and mourning swords; two others stand at each side, at the loot, dressed in the same manner. Upon tables covered with black cloth, at each are four large gold branchres,each hold ing three Immense wax candles; and. beyond those, are three more mutes at either side, seated on black stools, and cloathed in full.dress mourning cloaks. Above the coffin, against the wall, the arms of the des ceased are most brilliantly emblazoned, surrounded by silver girandoles. escutcheons, and the stars and me dals of the several o: der s to which the deceased had belonged. In the front, and at the foot of the cotin, are placed the golden helmet, coat of mail, with tie armorial bearings of the deceased, on a cloak of g-111, of a most rich and hriaiant appe arance, and before the whole, affixed to the centre of tire rail ing, is the flag of Great Britain. made of silk, and mast splendidly embroidered and embellish-d. 'flue ..vitale of this part of the ball is covered with blic.l, cloth, to an elevation of about 40 feet, and thickly studded with silver girandoles, inter spersed with the united escutcheons of Nein* gad Zoete. The great body of the hall which approaches this elevated part, is divided in the centre by a strong wooden partition, about four feet high, which runs to the top of the steps. and is covered with black cloth, making two Jos tind passages, by which arrangement the •peastors approach this solemn scene, at the one side, and retire at the other. At tithes side the hall also, other wooden partitions are 'reeled, about five feet from the walls, so as to prorea the paintings from injury, and about cistern feet high, also covered with black cloth. and thickly hung with silver girand Iles, each containing two was candles, and interspersed with escitcheons of the united arms of the deceased. Upwards of fain hundred wax candles blaze in this s'ileran scree ; and we understand that upwards of seventeen thousand yards of black cloth hare been expended upon it. Within this Rill every thing is curies' on with the greatest regularky and solemnity t each speetator approaches the sacred spot uncovered, with veneration and respeCt for the memory of the deceased, and retires impressed siri:h the strung feelings of sorrow Inc the departed hero. "~~~ NMI • . • The number of people assem'aled in the town or Greenwich, about three o'clock, could not be less than 50,000. At four o'clock, they were informed, that there would be no more admitted till this morn. ing at nine o'clock. The inns, public-house", and stables, wire all taken up, and near twenty th.,u sand came a•mar withnnt hav:ng been able to get admittance. To attealpt a full description of th: road to .Creenwich, 1)-01 by land water, during the whole . ally, is beyond our power Every boat on the river was engaged, and the crowds whoistessed into diem wet e Arrest incredible; the stirface of the river, front Tower Stairs to Greelwioh, was nothing bat back and confusion: the road, however, tar surpassed it ; it WAS cover e d w it h p !or i e f rom a d quarters of the town and country, and of every class, horn the nobleman to the peasant. Coaches, astride', gigs, tax-cart', Stc. were ad in mo. ;inn. Every avenue to Greenwich was s throllgekig that tbe paswngers could scarcely mare is way I.r themselves. Many accidents occurred ; several gig* an! other vehicles were overturned :tad. shut tete] upon the road; and, at the late hour of sit o'ciock at night, Out leu than thropremained broken in picots. Mr. Town'hend attended at the hall, and was uncommonly &dive in maintainin.! order. All the shits in, the river had that flags lowered half mast, as well as every steeple on shore, which displayed the British ett.ign. The crow !s con tinued to flick to Greenwich, long after night•fall. Tlf£ FUNFIR Al.
