Candour forbids us to imagine that ; their object is to stir 11 P ar!'y Part of the population to rebellion, brias t their language is so unguarded and inflammatory, to be admirably calculated to produce civil contrnotiOn, and aggravate the Miseries they pre tend to deprecate.

The Masters of the • East Indiamen, who were on board the President, were, it is said intended to take the command of the prizes that might be taken, as well as contribute by their' advice and local knowledge, to the success of the cruize.

After dinner they retired to the Library, where they were highly gratified by the performances of Mr. and Mrs. BARTLEY, in Selec tions from SHAKSPEARE, SHEI,IIDAN, and other favourite authors, which obtained the most signal Marks of approbation. They consisted of reading Sir Peter ami Ludy- Teude's Scenes, and Mr. BARTLEY, by command, read Benedict, and re c:ted Monsieur Tonson,- and the well known comic story of the Newcastle Apothecary.

The following. are the most facts they comlnitnieate:— "- Cattle, which of all kinds are, very reason. able, compared with what they had been, are very flue in quality, and increase fast. Many beaAs, &c. died the preceding summer, in conse quence of a long drought, and a scanty pasturage; the former was apprehended this snowier, as scarcely any rain bad fallen for four mon.ths. Beef was at 4d. the pemnd ; but we are soricy to find that wheat was likely to be very deficient. It seems that the last year it was sold as low as 4 to ss. per bushel,. and the farmers, in ei msequente of this discouragement, did not find it their inte rest to continue the cultivation.

Sir J. O'NEru.n, ordering goods and paying for them with cheques on different bankers, taking the change, generaily a small sum, and leaving the goods to be sent home. It is almost needless to add, that on the goods being sent a 3 ordered no such person as Sir J. O'Nr.ALLt was to be found, and.that on presenting the cheques at different bankers, the answer invariably %vas—no tyfeets. It should be made more generally known, that the present Lottery consists of only 15,000 Tickets; for as the Advertisements inform the Public, that there are. Three 30,0001. Prizes, and Five of 1,000 Gull-leis' each, &c. to be paid in Gold as soon as drawn, it naturally occurs that so many advan tages could only be obtained by an increased num tier of Tickets —particularly when ,it is recollected that 00 former Lottery, even of 60,000 Tickets, ecer cOntaided wore than Two Thirty Thogsauds.

The piece was eel Hinly not re commended by much originality in table, charac ter, or dialogue, and wag altogether rather too broad in its attempts at satire and humour ; but we have attended the representation of dramatic produc'i'ions of much inferior merit, which, how ever, !hissed muster tolerably well. .The hits, at the visit mary doctrines of Craneology. would have had a bt:tter effect, if the subject had been better understmod by the audience in general.

DEATH OF SMITFISON TENNANr, Esct. Ir is with much concern that we announce the d eat h of !..;MITHSO N . 'PENNANT, Esq. F.R.S. and Professor of themistry•in the University of tam bridge ; a loan in whonS genius, talents, and virtue were united in their highest forms. Although his industry was checked by a frame naturally weak and a languid state, of health, his acquirements in science• were remarkably general,' ant! in many branches profound. Ile was known throughout Europe by several important discoveries in che mistry. In this country he was distinguished in a 'very numerous circle of the best society, for the variety, extent, and accuracy of his know ledge, the singular rectitude of his understanding', his love of literature, and a highly cultivated taste' for the elegant arts, combined with great origina lity and extraordinary powers of Conversation. To those who had the happiness of being intimiAely connected with hir»; - 'lic was endeared by his tuons independent principles, and the sincerity, w;irnith, and constancy 'of his friendship. To this may be added a very original cast of humour in his character and manners;and a singular felicity of wit, wholly untinctured by personality or sar casm, which rendered his conversation delightful to his friends, and made it impossible to know him much without admiring and loving him.- The circumstances of Mr. Tenn;uit's death were most afflicting. He was returning from France, where he 'had 'been several months, and was waiting at .Boulogne for a favourable wind.- He had actual ly embarked on Wednesday.the 22d, brit the ves sel was obliged to put back, and it was determin ed, if the weather should be tolerable, to make another trial in the evening. Darin.= the interval Mr. Tennant proposed to a German Officer of • distinction, whom he had accidentally joined on the road, and who was also going .to England, t() ride with him to Buonaparte's pillar, near -Bou logne. In returning they deviated a little to look at a fortification near the road. But as they were attempting to pass a draw-bridge, which, to some neglect, was not properly secured, the bridge gave way, and they were precipitated into. die trench. The Officer fortunately escaped with out any serious hurt, but Mr. Tennant was found fallen under his horse, and was t:;ken up speech less, his skull and one of his trios being-conside rably fractured. He was conveyed with difficulty to the hospital at Boulogne, as the nearest and most convenient place to receive him, and expred in halt an tour. klis reniaias were interred at Boulogne. - LUNACY.—On Monday last, about 12 o'clock, a most extraordinary circumstance took place at the Flotse Guards, in the yard between the iron gates in Whitehall and the general building. A Gentleman 'of • about 50 Years of age, after walk ing about for some time in a .state of great a;iita tiOn, made up to the sentinel in the passage lead ing front the open space to the Orderly . Rooms, and producing a brace of pistols, insistet) upon his fighting him. The sentinel ordered hint to With. draw from his post, which he did, •to the open space, where be discharged one of the pistols in the air, and'immediately after prosentq the other at his own bead. A life guardsman, and another person, rushed in, upon him at' the instant, arid" with difficulty tvrested the pistol from him. .1t was found to be charged with ball. Sayers, the 136 w-street Officer, who was passing at the time, took charge of the Gentleman, and, as he refused • to give any account of himself, proceeied to search him. There were found on his person Es chequer hills to the amount of between 14 and 15,0001. and Napoleon and other coins to a con, ,• siderable amount. He was afterwards taken be fore Sir N. CONANT, who, on discovering his.re halves, ordered hint to be placed tinder their care. It appears, that he held a high appointment in the army, and that the unfavourable result of a Conti Martial, in' which he had been e %aged, continues to prey upon his mind, so us to cause occa.sional:- derangement.
