FOR TRE SUN. MARITIME NURSERY. a. EDITOR—That great praise is due to Mechanical Science , for the application of STEAM to Purposes of Inland Navigation, cannot be de - 144 . But Sir, this new system seems now lap ied r to purposes beyond, a due and wholesome t ;gard.• to that principle which renders our Co AST r rr TRADE a'nursery for our very best seamen. it,, At this moment it appears that there are no 6i s than sev en Steam Vessels employed between ` l sgow and Liverpool ; and if the plan is found i t an swer, there may be a continuation of it, until e xtends r oun d, the coasts of the whole Island. Bu t Sir ! what must then be - the consequence ? e tieve there is not a seaman in his Majesty's I ,,. r „ v ice, nor in the Mercantile Employ, that not acknowledge that as much Nautical : 4c tice, and nearly as much Nautical Science, h e 'Y he acquired on board a Steam-boat, plying tw een Southwark Bridge and Richmond, as v e a t ween Glasgow and Liverpool, or even New- . of s tie and London ! add to this, that 1000 tons tli St earn-torinage will require fewer hands than me s ame quantity under canvass—that one sea fos•T's or in fact, one individual with common in -14111460n, will be sufficient on board of each veg;. t i o ? t t he rest of the crew being Mere tailors and mP°les--and that no apprentices will be taken, "would learn any thing,if they were. . p ~, r he consequence then must be, that a great oiaPortion of seamen must be thrown out of ern to°Y.) and even if employed, will only be stokers 41 a stove, instead of the manly exercise of ~.i k i ncr and shortening sail, &c. &c. &c. Besides. selttictnb, as the most excellent nursery for young taen will be destrOyed, we must soon lose a most 41 ble class of men in the navy, including the , I,,, 4 „ r il ter-Masters, and several - _other 'ranks, nine -11, - "" us of whom are New Castle and Sunderland - I pe That Lord MELVILLE and the Board are al ' N IY aware of this, I have no doubt ; but, Sir, Plait to awak e n the merchants to a sense of danger, so as to support Ministers in proper j Mans , of regulation. In case of war, His Ma . - ,stY's ships must be manned ; but if our seamen ere ase ; what then becomes of our commerce ? Yours, • IGNOTUS.

ItA NKLIN.-On Tuesday evening last, Vickery, i, i /e of the !•.ow'-street.officers, arrived in York, quest of this man ; and early in the following 1 1) ,, r ithig„ proceeded in a post. chaise to Pockling ; at which place a strict search was made for but it was made in vain. t Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, t i l " Lady Agnes Percv, , have given liberal to The PariSh- School at Warkworth, and t 4 1 " , scribe d -an n ually thereto ; and his Grace has \ 41 a, donation to the ilexhaniThspeastity.. .The.

SITAKSPEARE'S LAMENESS, Tradition has brought down to our day so few facts relating to him " who wrote for all time," and so little is known of him. notwithstanding the grubbing search made into 'his history, that any new light thrown on him personally will doubt less gratify as much as it will surpriie. The novel fact is derived from internal evidence=- t. e. the best—for it is from himself. That he Was lame we cannot doubt, after a perusal of the following passages in his Sonnets : So then I am not taw, poor, nor despis'd Whilst that this shadutil doth such substance give, That I in thy abundance am sullied, And by a part of _all thy glory live.—Solt. Again, in Sonnet lxxxiiii.— Say that thou didst forsake me for some fault, And I will comment upon that offence: Speak of my lantepess, and I straight will halt, Against thy reasons making no defe e nce. Shakspeare's' is a sacred name, and this evi dence, with regard to him, may be.received with gravity, which, with many other Poets that we could name, would certainly not meet with the Larne fate—we allude to the evidence of lameness detected in their Sonnets ! It is due to Mr. Henry Neele (author of, Odes and other Poems, and of the Lecture on Shaks peare, delivered at Stratford last year), to state, that he originally promulgated the idea in a Life of Shakspeare, which, although still in manu script, the literary world are by no 'means unac quainted with. In addition to the. passages from the Sonnets of our immortal Bard which are se lected above,' there are several others quoted in Mr. Nvele's Memoir. Among them is one which mig s ht have been consideredmetaphorical, if it were nut supported . by others : " As a decrepit fatber takes delight To s-ee his active ...hilt! do (feeds of youth, So I. made . lame by fortune's dearest spite, Take all my Com fort in thy love and troth.' Again, in another - Sonnet, speaking of those VOW had reprOached him with this misfortune, he says— " I may - be straight, tho' they themselves be bevel." Tiu THEATRE.-The -second appearance o Mr. VANPENHOFF at Covent-Garden Theatre, last night, was creditable to his feelings as well as to his talents. He has evidently attended to the suggestions of public criticism, and in some respects has modestly availed himself of them. Still we think that he should throw more of ma 7 jesticgrace into his demeanour, as the abstract idea of a King induces the imaginatiim to demand a de portment- somewhat , above that of mere ordinary life. The language and the sentiments of Poetry are of an elevated character,, and, of course, there sliduld be correspondence in expression and gesture, without stiffness or formality. It is' not mere common old age, but Royal old age which the part of Lear demands, and which, no doubt, was intended by the POet. lie was well receiv ed, and is likely to become a popular favourite. ROYAL COBOURGH 'THEATRE.—The season closed last night at this convenient and elegant Theatre, after a success well merited by the 'talents of the Performers, and the liberal spirit of the management. 'Mr. T. 1) COOKE, the Stage-manager, took leave of the audiencein an appropriate Address, which he delivered with proper firmness, and which was very warmly ap plauded by a numerous audience. The Address glanced at the 'opposition which the Cobourgh 'Theatre had experienCed, and Modestly alluded to its, triumph over it, auisin4 from ,-the Pa trOnag,e of the PahM.. The . Theatre is situated in a. kiud of new world, and we hope, that so ra tional a source= of ainuseinent will attract the at tention of its inhabitants, and allure them from the Mischievous seductions of politics and Party.-; Two remarkable lights,' of the nature, appa rently, of the, Aurora Borealis, were observed on Monday evening in the sky near ftotherfield, in Sussex ; one in the •soirtit-east, and oue in the north-east by east. They were, at first, taken for distant fires, but after a closer examination, the flashings of the true northern lights appeared in them ; they Jasted for nearly two hours, when the sky became cloudy, and they were no more seen. • The flock of Cachemire goats, which were im ported into France in 1819, aid placed at the north east of Toulon, 'has been removed to a tnore cOngenial, climate at St. Quen, near -Paris. The flock, 175 in number, was embarked on the 7th of October . at Arles, and arrived on the 2.1(1 ult. at St. Oden, without the, loss of a single animal. The kids born in 'France• from this lock are abundantly covered with the Inagni- ficent down of which the .Cachcmire shawls are manufactured, and they'are superior in strength and appearance to ,the indigenons kids of the same age, which leaves no doubt of success from the naturalization. , A most interesting paper, by Sir Ilumphry Davy, was recently read tit the Royal Society, on the magnetizing influence of galvanism, in which various - new and curious. experithents on this subject were detailed, which clearly esta blish the fact, that the galvanic, fluid, directed in a proper.manner, is capable of communicating magnetic propertiesto bars of steel. If steel 1)0 or rods : be 'exposed to the galvanic current, placed in the'direetion of the magnetic axis, no effect 'follows ; but if they be plaCed parallel with the magdetic equatof, - they become' mag netic—the end plued to the west becoming north' of the pole of the new magnet, and that towards the east becoming the south pole. And so great ,is the : galvanic influence in producing this effect, that it exerts its power at a distance of, some -inches (even 10 or 12) ; so that, if the steel- bar be moved in a circle round the course of the galvanic current, but always kept parallel to the magnetic equator, it becomes magnetic. These experiments were made in the Laboratory of the Royal Institution, and also at the London Institution: _ _ STREET ROBBERIES.—IR consequence of the numerous Street Robberies committed -in open day, in various parts of the Metropolis, particu larly on every public o'c'casion, Lord SIDMOU . TII has attached fifteen of the Bow-street patrol, un., der two conductors, to, each of, the . following Police Offices :—Queen-square, Marlborough street) and,Hatton-garden. t'LOYAL ACADEMY . .

A cause of great importance to every Clergy.: man in the kingdom was brought on on Saturday the 2d inst. before the Spiritual Court at Bland ford, the particulars of which are here inserted as a warning to all Churchwardens not to infringe on the rights'of the Clergy • ", The Rector of Wyke Regis and Weymouth t in the county of Dorset, to his great" astonish , ment, was one day informed' by his Clerk, that. Mr. Friend, the ehurchwardeb, had taken the key of the Church from him, declaring at the same time, that the-Rector had no right to the • possession of it, that, as Churchwarden; it ought to .be in his custody; and that whenever The Rector had any occasion for it, he might have it, but that he - should first acquainthim with the par titular purpoie for which • was wanted, and with the nature of the duty to be performed.. in such a case he would grant the key. This Churchwarden, from the very moment of his en trance into office,.had displayed a spirit of deter. , mined rancour and hostility to the Rector. The latter therefore clearly saw, that (as the key of. the Church was always left with the Clerk. for the accommodation of all parties) this claim was ~set up merely to insult him ; and he immediately klirocted his Proctor to cite Friend before the Spiritual Court, and to take, Dr. LushingtoWs 'opinion upon the case s of which the following is an exact copy : " I ant of opinion that the Rector is entitled to the cus tody of the key of the Church, he allowing; the Church warden the use a it upon proper and necessary occasions. It is the duty of the Churchwarden to apply to the Rector for the hey, when he wants it fot lavaul purposes, and he has no right to retain the general custody, and thereby put the Rector to the inconvenience of sending* him for it. • " c If the Clinrchwartltit peislsis iii retaining the posses sion of the hey after demand made, I think he may be ae►ainst in the Ecclesiastical Court, having local juos . diction, and punished by it. authority. " S. TAISIIINGrON.' " The defendant Friend; when the business tame before the Court, prudently tollo.ed the advice of his Counsel, and, quite satisfied with the expences which had already been in curred, instructed his Proctor to confess the articles, and put an end to the suit by admitting the Rector's exclusive . to the custody of• the key. This affair, it scents, has been Much canvassed among the Advocates of Doctors' Commons., As the case is rather of a novel kind, they were at first some what divided in theit opinions, but they are now unani mously agreed that the key of the Church is under the sole authority oft he Rector or Vicar."—(Salis!ntry Paper,Dev.ll.) ImPrtoVEMENTS CITY.7—The ruins of Blackwell Hall having been removed, the build ing intended for the reception of the-Commission ers of Bankrupts is advancing to completion with ' great rapidity ; already is the roof put on, and ; in the course of half a year it is expected that it will be thrown open to the public. It will con sist of 14 principal rooms for public meetings, - under the different lists, besides 14 smaller rooms for private meetings. There will be other .of fices for the general transaction, of - bankruptcy affairs. It is a plain hilt substantial brick building. In front of this building, next to Guild hall, will be erected new Courts of,Law, the plans of which have long since been decided uppu,, and the necessity for whichhasbeen much felt. The President and Censors of the - Royal Col lege of Physicians,• and the Master and GOver notsof the Royal College-of Surgeons, as Direc tors Of the National Vaccine Establishment, have been pleased to appoint Charles Mayo, Esq. Winchester, to be their Corresponding Vaccina tor for:that city and district ; and it is hoped, that his profes*sional trethzen will concur with him 'in endeavoming to eradicate the unhappy Piejtidice which prevails against the practice of vaccination in \ this neighbourhood, to which So' many lives have,lately been ,Sacrificed. The post of ,the .National Vaccine Establishment for the present year, contains ample testiriiony of the progressive advapce ‘ and success of the practice in.this Country and 'on the Continent, especially in those parts whe're it has been enforced by le gal enaCtments,' so that in Denmark there has been no small-Pox for the last eight years. It is allowed that some cases have occurred, in,whial, on exposure to contagion, small-pox has appeared after vaccination, but then it has been almost al.: ways in a very mild form, and of short duration ; the proportion of such cases -in, London, •where the vaccinated are constantly exposed to the contagion of small-pox, has been only dive in sixty thousand.- It is clear also that no treat ment will secure some constitutions from infec tion,: as twenty-two cases of small-pox occurring after small-pox, have been reponted since,last year, three of which were fatal. Several per sons have been prosecuted and subjected to fines and imprisonment, for spreading the- small 'pox by incautious inoculation and subsegnent posore, so that it behoves such as persisl in this practice, and especially thos.Who are not in the profession, to .beware that they do not infringe the laws upon this subject, as the magistrates are now strictly enjoined to enforce them. • The custom of placing fish-stalls iii the narrow streets at North , Shields having proved very in conv'erient to the public, an application -was made to the Duke of Northumberlanil, in the spring of the year, for permission to allow the fish-women to place their stalls on the east side 'of the Market-placer till the buildings should be resumed there ; to which his Grace not only con sented,, but has built Irerra a very Corrimodions -fish-market, at a considerableexpence, by which passengers, as well as the inhabitants, are much benefited. On Saturday evening•last, our.worthy Mum', John Niiiolas yi ver, E-q. gave an elegant sop, per to the Body Corporate., at the 'Sim too, in Winchester, served up by Sturges, at which time the apPointment of, Officers for the year enstdivz took place, John Mant, I;se.
