The improvement of the communication between Newcastle- upon-Tyne and Carlisle, or rather-between the Getman Ocean and the Irish Channel, has occupied the attention of the Public at differem periods during the last half century. The recent limitation of a Canal from the Solway Frith' to Carlisldhas re-. vived the subject,. and a strong feeling of the expedieircy of completing' the Line of co mmun i cation has been, eXcited ; there. appeared to be but one opinion as to the advantages of the mea 'sure, and the only doubt entertained was; whether it would be best effected by a continuation of the Canal already formed, .or by a rail-road connnunicating with U. .• During the summer Assizes. of fart year, a numerous. and respectable County Neeting, convened by the high Sheriff' of Northumberland, was held at Newcastle, and Committee was appointed to inquire into the practicability 0' improving the ex isting communication between Newcastle and, Carlisle, and the comparative eligibility of effecting that • imptavement.by a Canal or a rail-road. The Committee have.since proceeded diligently. in the per fortnaoce.of the ditties confided to them. They have availed themselves of the advice and assistance of Mr. Chapman and Mr. Jessop, civil engineers of eminence (the former possessing considerable local information); and after a full investigation of the subject, they haves closed their labours by a report; in which they StuLC their opinion, that the establishment of a communica tion by a rail-road, between Newcastle and Carlisle, 4 is a un dertaking which will be advantageous to those.whci may embark in it, at the same time th a t i t i s an object of great importance both to the landed And commercial interests of this part of the kingdom, and that its execution will open a count r y r i c h i n mi neral productions, and tend materially to promote .agriculture, manutactures and commerce.' This report was presented by Sir John Edward Swinburne, Baronet, the Chairman of the Committee, to a County Meeting, convened by the High She r iff o f Northumberland, and held a t Newcastle on the 26th in s t., w h en i t was resolved, That the meeting, concurring in the view taken of the subject by the Committee, consider the establishMent of a communication by a rail-road between Newcastle and Carlisle an object worthy of the countenance of the country." Under these encouraging circumstances, the measure propos al has been entered upon. It is strongly supported -by the landed interests, united by the commercial and iminuflicturing interests at each ex t rem i ty o f t h e li ne of communication, and no doubt can be entertained of its being prosecuted effectually. It may with confidence be asserted, that there are fei, if any situations in Great Britain which present a surer prospect of success to such an undertaking: there are no existing canal interests to interfere with or to be injured by the proposed rail.. .road ; the cou n t r y on b ot h S id es o f t h e line abounds in lead, coal, lime, and other mineral productions, the transit of which on• different portions of the line, independent of that of ma- ' chandize from one extremity to the other, has• been estimated alone to produce a revenue sufficient to compensate those who may engage in the undertaking. At the same time, imperfect • as is the present medium of communication, the carriage of merchandise between Newcastle and Carlisle is so considerable as to justify the. confident expectation of a large additional return from that source, when the proposed facilities .of con veyance shall be affbrded. • The whole line of way is pe culiarly favour a bl e f or ta ki ng the utmost advantage of steam power . ; aboundi ng ,as it does with coa l, w hi c h ma y b e o b ta i ne d at a cheap rate,. The country, through which the rail-road is intended to pass. has been on former occasions more thin, once accurately sur veyed, with a view to a canal, which was then contemplatet4 . ; but a minute surv e y has not yet b een ma d e f or t h e present purpose, nor has the - precise line of the piopOSedrail-road been definitely 'fixed, though Mr. Chapman and Mr. Jessop have both examin ed the country, and suggested their ideas on the 'subject. There is. not, however, the slightest doubt but the line'may be so ar ranged, that no annoyance or inconvenience will be attendant on the benefits which must be derived to those landowners through whose property it passes. The proposed line communicates' with the Tine at New castle, and terminates at the basin of the canal at Carlisle, and the whole length is 64 miles and a hall: The' expence of exe cuting the work has been estimated by Mr. Ch ap man at 252,4881. ; to thi s est i mate Mr. Jessop has thought it right to make an addition of 40,0001., on account of the advance in the price of iron, and some other cirarmstances, making' in the whole 202,488/., which Includes an allowance of no less a sum than 32,9331. for incidents and unforeseen expences. It is intended that the undertaking shall' he plaCed under the r ageent ohs a Board of Director*, assisted by such Sub boads as yeafter be appointed by the snbscribers. Th e capital required for the undertaking is 300,000/., di vided into 3,000 shares M 1001. each, of whiclione-sixth part is reserved for the landowners of the country through which the line passes. The capital will be placed under the 'controul of the Board of Directors, by whom the shares will be issued to the. Subscribe r An advance of 2/. per cent: on th e sum subscribed is required to be paid into the hands of the Bankers of the CompanYtci the account of the Board of Directors, anti the remainder will' be called for at•the discretion of the Board : but no further ad- Vance will be requiredd until the plans and. surveys shall have been completed, and an Act of Parliament obtained.

She was searched by three of the blockade, men. Xthorough search took place, asorthey left about tfci:, Next day, I was ordered by Lord H. to go tu Lieut. Gri*4 and ask him, w i t h hi s compliments, for the name of the at oft who insulted him on the beach the night before. I did sti / I, and the defendant told me to tell Lord Harborough, that , he wanted any communication with him he must come to hi I told this to his Lordship, and he said he would go to the de: fendant. When I went on board the vessel again, I found th defendant and others there, searching. 1 infermed Lord Har borough what they were doing. He came on : board. They were searching again. His Lordship sentme for Mr. Miller, of the Custom-house, to come on board. On my return I found the defendant and Lord Harborough still there, and the men searching.. The defendant told the men to do their duty. They foutid nothing. The defendant gave Lord liar_ borough a emit, init of his waistcoat pocket. Lord Harborough took it. The defendant said, if he wanted satisfaction to take that. Lord Harborough returned the card, and said he would try the matter in a different manner, and would go before his betters. The defendant said he. did, not care a damn before :whom he went; he was no more to him than to any other indi vidual. Mr. Miller then came, and Lord Harhorough asked hint if he suspected he had contraband goods ? They went be loW together, and I heayd no more. Lord Harborotigh examined—l went on board the vessel, as stated by the last witness, and found the defendant and others searching. I asked the defendant why they searched ? He said, who asks me? I said, Lord Harborough. Ile said, you may be Lord.Harborough, but your conduct is not that which Lord Harborough's ought to be. 1-said it was very vexatious; .there was no real need to Search the vessel. He said. he should continue to search ; and added, you are liable to_be searched as well as the poorest fisherman in Dover. I said I only claimed in common with the poorest. 1 asked him to shew me his authority. He said he was not bound to thew it. I sent for Millee, and he - came. I asked bins whether the search was legal. He declined answerin g . The defendant. broke up the deck and turned over the ballast. His conduct was very un civil throughout. Mr. Smith interfered. I said I would have no conversation with him, and that lie might be thankful I had not partished his insolence before. He made no reply. The defendant said, insolence is not a word to be used to a gentle.. man. I said I would not be dictated to by him on board my own vessel. lie said, I'll teach you a way; and pr esente d hi s card. I returned it, sa yi ng , I did not choose to mix up private concerns with public business. lle said, recollect; you under stand what this means. I said, I shall take no notice of it. I think he used the words, " and satisfaction." I think he said, " You won't refuse me the satisfaction of a gentleman." I un derstood he meant to challenge me. Cross-examined —The yacht had been a fishing lugger, and looked still.a good deal like one. She had the appearance of. one on board. I don't believe I said. that defendant's conduct was scandalous and disgraceful. I said the scene last night Might be no more than a highway robbery. I did say to Mr. Smith, How was Ito, know you. from a highwayman without your authority ? I asked defendant by what authority he acted ? He said, as Lieutenant. I said, How do I know that without seeing your commission ? The defendant said he had it not about him ; but I might know hint by - his uniform. He was partially in u n if orm . I said any person might wear that. Ile then pointed to the pendantin the [merit- boat. I did not say that any person might.. carry such a flag - as that. There was a Mob. They cried out, Go it, my Lord, a nd t ur n hi m out. The m o b hissed, and hoot e d a great deal. I did not say I could compare the. Coast blockade men to Waiting but high way robbers. I said I would not be bullied by swords and pis tols. I said I wa s sorry I had not men enough to oppose force to force. All this was.before the card was offered. He did not Say he gave me the card that I might know wh o h e was. He did send for. _ida commissi on , and slimed it me. I think that was before the card. lire parted civilly. Mr. G. Miller, of the Custom-house, .confirmed Lord Hare borough's evidence, but be said he did not see the card deliver ed. On the same day I.saw the defendant in the Long room, Dover; Lieut. Knowles was with him. The defendant asked me what was to be done ? 1 said it would be best to make it up. The defendant said he could not think of doing that; he could not sacrifice his honour. He said he had already challenged Lord Harborough, and he had refused to fight ; he had declined to accept his card. He said he was a coward.

He lived too at a period when _many of his contemporaries were .acknowledged to he. great actors; but none were' ever brought into competition with hint.;, such was the universal estimate of his merit.

COLLEY CIBDER, and his APOLOGY, with the omission of that memorable and Most interesting period in which GAR RICK was _lord. of .the .ascendant ; a p er i o d when our author must have been /no young to be able to form any Opinion on the transcendatit merits of that great actor. And h ere we cannot help observing, that Mr. BOADEN has neverthe less ventured to form an opinion, and to compare GARRICK with KEMBLE, and even in some in- stances to give the preference to the latter, though it is impossible that. he could have had any op portunity of deciding upon their comparative merits. Indeed we think, that Mr. RoADEN is somewhat disposed to undervalue the merit of Gmtutcx. We shall cite one instance which we read with regret. Speaking of GARRICK'S rejec tion of some plays, that were afterwards success ful, he says—" The true reason in all those of his coldness was, that the female interest predo !minated—that Mrs. CtuaiAt would have certainly overwliehned him"!!! As Mrs. CHEWER died before our time, we shall not imitate Mr. BOA. !DEN in deciding upon her merits, as he does upon those of G AR RICK, bllt, relying. upon CHURCH ILL and the : testimony. of many sound Critics ‘diom we'kriew, we presome that the powers of Mrs. CIBBER were limited, and that she was rather likely to he 4‘ overwhelmed" br GA It CK'S superior and irresistibl e ex 7 cellence.

One passage we shall c:te on what is reported to have P"t''sed in an- jitter view with which Mr. KEMBLE was honoured by his, present Majesty, because it had been told h t , A manner much less favourable to Mr: KEMBLE. and. we _therefore insert it in justice• to his memory : • . . ••"Joiikan objected to G arr i c k' s being adMitted into hid club : "He will disturb us," R aid he, "by his buffoonery." He would rkit'haVe'ObjeCted to Mr. Kemble. The 'notions formed , by these great actors, of the art they prOfessed, were totally -verse. Mr. Garrick carried its exercise into social mimicry, and the eternal 'desire-to govern the muscles Of every being with which he came in contact. He would play: Pwich rather than not be acting; and seek an audience to his merriment among the servantm, if their.masters were too desperately. grave for rim to'venture to break in upon them. This is to be a come than ; a mind of courpleilbrial hilarity, happy alone in the ex `ercise of its powers. Such also was the mind of Henderson ; he assumed to himself the proiver of 'entertaining, not as a task, but a privilege, and poured himself out,ip the-most ludicrous delineations of life, in all' its endless diversity. Mr. Kemble would have thought himself Athxzatied..:lay arty ' - ethibitinns of. ; such—a nature"; he was' IMpress'ed with a higher sense of the dignity and - utility of his ar4•and, had. notTfound it SO easily acquired`, as to be an object of sport and momentary assumption he,,, therefore, put on the aetor.only with the dress of the theatre, and was contented in society with such distinction as the scholar and the gentleman could acquire. He carried this feeling to a very unusual extent; for he could rarely be brought every to recite in company ; but would very calmly tako down the book for you, whitth contained a remarkable passage, and tell you to read it for yourself. He was honoured by the Prince of Wales with invitations to Carlton House,' and distinguished by attentions as tasteful as they were gracious. On one ocett sten, his Royal Highness, I have heard, 'smilingly said to Mr. Kemble--" I am afraid that, before so correct a.spealser of Ilie English language, I have mispronounced occasionally during our conversation." •I deed ! with grea t fraulcuess,•" indeed no, Sir," repli e d Mr. Kemble, " I have heard hut a single word in which I at all differ from your Royal Highness; and about that people are allowed to differ ; the word oblige; which I pronounce iri the English, and not in the French way." It is to be remarked, with respect to the pronunciation attributed to the illustrious speaker, 'that Sheridan; in 'his dictionary, 'gives both the modes of speaking the word, without an absolute pre ference, or deciaion—oblige:--and dblege. It is added that, on a subsequent visit, the Prince condescended to take a pinch of snuff froth the gold box with which he had presented Mr. Keuthle, and sportively remembered the word in question, by saying, " I am obliged to you, Mr. Kemble. We . beg have, however, to ek preSs our total disbelief that JOHNSON ever objected to Gmt. niches admission into his Club. under . the idea that, he would disturb it by " buffoonery."

DISCQVF.Ity OF ANCIENT CRTEIi TABLETS RE LATIVE To 11 ustc.—The doubtful character of all known accounts relative to the music of the ancient Greeks, and the obscurity in which the subject is consequently involved, render interesting, in a peculiar degree, the discovery of two docunients of high antiquity and unquestionable authenticity, with the par ticulars ofwli ich we here present Our readers, the documents to which we allude are two metal tablets, of a date 709 years before the Christian era, on which is engraved, in. ancient Greek, an aecount of a Music Feast at Epyrm (Corinth), in the third year of the sixteenth Olympiad, or in the year before . Christ, 709, by Lapis, of Hermione. An important addition to the history of ancient Greek music is thus furnished, interesting alik4 to the antiquary and to the lover of the art, anti which throats more light upon its nature and character in thOse early ages, than all the labours of the numerous writers upon this subject. A most elaborate account, with the comments and historical memo:. randi attached, by the celebrated Profess:or Murchard, of .Berlin, 'whose nephew, M. Kraiitmann, was the fortunatedis coverer of these interesting relics of antiquity, is published in the last number of the llarmoiticon. About ten days ago, soiree labourers, '‘who were employed' by the Right Hon. Thomas Wallace, iii cutting a drain thro ug h p art o f ' his estate, called Wytlen Eals, near .Haltwhistle, No r th um b er l an d , came , i n contact, with what aP. peered to be an oak tree ; and as it impeded their progress, they had recourse to an'axe to cut it out, when to their surprise it proved to be a coffin. 'After that, they took out the reinains'of four more, in one of which there was part of a skull. The work. men passed several coffin laying north and south, very near each other, at about 'five feet below the surface. Circumstances ,would seem to indicate that a , cemetary•had once been - here, t.ut . at what remote period is very uncertain. There is no building (nor are there any ruins) near the place, except the remains 'of what appears to have been a cottage, and•a modern farm-hou4.

The most perfect of the•c-qfins has been forwarded to .John Adam son, Esq. F.A.S. NeviCastle-Upon-Tyne, with a view to its being placed aiming the curiosities belonging to the Antiqua rian Society of that town. • Its workmanship is of the most rude order, which unquestionably is a proof of its great antiquity.
