BUONAPARTt. The following is the SECOND EDITION of THE Sc of yesterday :. tc BUONAPARTE expired in the afternoon of Sa turday, May 5. He had been ill for a fortnight befor e , and his complaint at length became so al arming that additional medical attendants were called, vi z . t wo Surgeons and three Physicians, and it soon appeared that death was approaching. The disorder, or rather the complication of dis -orders,vvhich p u t an en d t o hi life, was a cancer in the stom ac h , which had pr\duced a consider able aperture and extensive ulceration. There was a larg e portion of fat upon the chest, an d more lower down. The liver was found to adhere to th e contiguous parts. Nothing was discover able in his s t omac h but coffee-grounds.

EDITOR—I highly approve of tlie sugges tion of your correspondent, G. C.—There is not a more meritorious class of persons in His MA JESTY'S Service than the illidshipmcn and /I/as lees Mates. In answer to his inquiry, I believe I may inform him that there will he no general promotion upon the occasion of the approaching Coronation of HIS MAJESTY, but that a LIMITTED promotion only is contemplated in the Navy, and that in it will he included a few of the class of officers to whom he has referred. To such men, encouragement and protection was never more essential than at the present moment, when every European Country is actively engaged in forming a powerful and effective marine, and when the largest fleet which Russia ever sent to sea is on the eve of sailing for the Mediterranean —when a Dutch Fleet is in a forward state of preparation, and a French Fleet far more for midable than any we encountered during the Revolution, or in the reign of BUONAPARTE, is also ready for sea. The Americans too are silently increasing .their force in the Mediterranean, and every thing seems to threaten a struggle for naval power unparalleled in the history of Europe.— Surely all these indications should point out the necessity of paying the utmost attention to our Navy. It has been too long neglected ; and the neglect has caused an indifference for the old policy of the country, and a disregard of that national feeling which once. made England the envy and the dread of the world, and which must be revived, if we wish to continue happy, re spectable, and free.

A Mail from the Brazils arrived yesterday, bringing letters from Rio de Janeiro'to the 2d •of April. At that date the King had not sailed for Portugal, but his departure was fixed for the 9th, and great preparations were on foot for his passage across the Atlantic. Much - speculation existed at Rio Janeiro whether the Royal inten tion would be carried into effect, and the well known indecision of the King's character, with his attachment to the climate and manners of the Brazilians, led strongly to the belief in many that he would remain. But other circumstances were pressing still more strongly his departure for Europe. Independently of the pledge given by the decree issued at the establishment of the new Constitution, announcing such to he his in tention, he Was supposed • to be urged by a jea lousy of the =Prince Royal, whose early declara tion for the new system bad created for him the highest popularity at Rio de Janeiro. This pre ference was noted by those about the Court to have made the King restless, and visibly affected his temper. His transactions with the Bank of Rio de Janeiro were supposed to have caused him still deeper disquietude. It has been stated in previous accounts, that, on the discovery of an existing defalcation in the accounts of the Directors, the pledge of t►►e Crown jewels was offered to the creditors, and that the measure was followed by the complete restoration of the credit of the establishment. But it was subse quently suspected, that the supply of the private wants of the Courts, which had produced drafts on them to the amount of 7,000,000 of crusadoes (about 600,0001. sterling) was the real cause of the deficiencies of the Bank Directors, and that the Crown jewels would not have been surren dered as security for the_repayment, but for the interference, of the Prince Royal, who urged or insisted on the step as a measure of strict justice to the creditors. We are still therefore without any authentic intelligence of the King's depar ture for Europe. A statement appeared a few days since that tl►e Royal squadron had been spoken with in the Atlantic early in April by a vessel from Bahia, but as no news has arrived of its reaching Lisbon, no doubt the account is by the mail of the 18th ult. incorrect.—(liorning Paper.) A letter from Plymouth says—" By an ar rival from Jamaica, we learn that the Spanish Patriots have met with many reverses. Sir GREGOR MACGREGOR, the runaway adventurer, is at Hayti, where he has the modesty to repre sent himself as the King of Scotland. COCHRANE s busy capturing inerchantmen." An extract. from a letter from Dover, dated July 3, six o'clock, says—" His 'Excellency Count MormiE; his Danish Majesty's Minister to the Court of London, has this instant arrived from Calais. He came over in the Cumberland packet in about four hours, and was saluted from the heights on entering the harbour. He was also received by a Guard of Honour on his landing. The Rob Roy steam packet got on shore last week in entering Calais Harbour, and received much damage. She came from Calais on Saturday, and is not able to proceed again till sl►e is repaired." Tilt TitIIATRE. If.tymAßKET.—The new Theatre, which has been raised with a wonderful rapidity, but at the same time in as substantial a form as if it had not been built against Time, opened for the present season' last night. It is a light, elegant, arid commodious edifice, and the chief advantage arises from its size, as the actors can be distinctly seen and heard. The decorations are elegant, tasteful, and appropriate ; and the staircases and corridors are infinitely better than those of the old house. No improvement struck us as of more importance, than the arrangement made with re spect to the saloon. This is no longer so close to the boxes, that the audience are incessantly exposed to be annoyed by the boisterous ex cesses of disorderly company. It is now* thrown forward, separated from the boxes by the inter vening corridor, and is a very r leasant apart ment. The windows open into the Haymarket, and command a view of Charles-street and St. James's-square. The only objectionable part appears to us to be the sounding-board over the proscenium. It exhibits a heavy, clumsy aspect, and if not demanded by the principles of accous tics, the sooner it is removed the better. As the new structure will of course be an object of gene ral curiosity-, we shall not forestall that curiosity by an elaborate description of the interior, which, after all, would afford little real intelli gence. Nor shall we enter into a critical exa mination of the merits of the respective per formers, as the theatrical corps, with very few exceptions, is new to the metropolis,—Mr. TER RY, Mr. Dec Amp, Mrs. lI. .JOHNSTON. " God save the King" was sung by all the performers previous to the commencement, of the play, which was the comedy of The Rivals, and repeated by the vehement demand of the audience in general. There were some turbulent spirits in the gallery, who, at every return of the chorus, substituted " the Queen." The general voice of the audience, however, overpowered them, and the play went off altogether without further annoyance. Among the provincial actors, Mr. TA - I-LEI:RE, from Man chester, chiefly distinguished himself in the cha racter of Acres, and seems to be an actor of merit. Mr. TERRY, before the comedy, deli vered an occasional Address, which had some humorous hits at the magnitude of the Patent Theatres. A new musical afterpiece followed, entitled Peter and Paul. This piece encoun tered so much opposition, that it would pro bably have been at once consigned to obli vion, if Mr. TERRY had not earnestly im plored another' trial, which " wrung" from the audience their " slow leave," and it is again to pass through the public ordeal. Upon the whole the Theatre is an ornament to the metropolis, and the new dramatic corps, as far as we can venture to judge from a first appearance, have been ju diciously selected, and seem well entitled to pub lic protection. The audience would probably have been more numerous if an apprehension of danger from the damp of the new edifice had not operated as an obstruction, but we did not experience any thing that was calculated to ex cite the least alarm or any unpleasant sensation. 111 MIA nn Coswiy,. Esq. It. A.--• This Gentle man' who has long been an ornament to the arts of our Coun try, but has for some years been prevented from the exercise of his talents by severe indisposition, yesterday closed his earthly career, .at an advanced age. Though corporeally very infirm, he retained his mental faculties to the last ; worn as he was by infirmity and inability to pursue the art in which he so_ much excelled, he retained his good sense and enjoyment of so cicty, and was always ready for offices of kindness. He was chiefly distinguished as a Painter in Miniature, but his works were marked by superior taste, correctness, ele gance, and beauty, and at one period of his life' he main tained an ascendancy in that province of Art, which bade defiance to all attempts at rivalry. The same taste, spirit, and beauty, appeared alSo in his Oil Paintings, and he has left a collection of Drawings,-so large as to he wonderful, consider ing.that they were made in the intervals of a very active pro fession, rendered so by the attraction of his talents. These Drawings may rank in excellence and variety with all similar remains of the most celebrated Old Masters of Italy. Mr. CoswAY possessed an excellent understanding, well improved by study, and a turn for humour, and even waggery, that ren dered hum an. agreea'ble companion. He was well-known to the chief Persons in this Country. He had lately removed from his house in Stratford-place, where a great part of his Collec tion of Ancient Pictures and other property had been recently disposed of, and had chosen an agreeable residence in Edgware Road, at which he yesterday afternoon expired. Mr. CoswAY has left a widow - of congenial taste and talents, whose works are well knoWn 'to the public, and of course justly admired, and to whose amiable qualities in private life, as well as her high professional merits, we reluctantly deny ourselves at present the pleasure of paying a sincere tribute of esteem and admiration. THE KING'S VISIT TO IRELAND.—The most active and extensive preparations are making for his MAJESTY'S visit to the sister kingdom, which will take place shortly after the Coronation. — Yesterday morning, soon after day-break, twenty of his MAJr.gTy's coach horses left the Royal stables on their way to Liverpool, whither they are to proceed by easy stages, travelling morn ing and evening, and whence they are to , be em barked for Dublin. So carefully are they to pro ceed, that fifteen days will he allowed for the performance of the route. • They were accom panied. by two of his MAJESTY'S best cartiages. On Monday fourteen saddle horses will proceed to Liverpool also, for Dublin; THE Conos.moN.—Westminster Hall and Westminste'r Abbey were yesterday crowded, from nine in the morning till three in the after noon, by persons of the very first'distinction, who had been admitted under the sanction of the Tickets issued by the Lora) GREAT CHA MII1:11- LA IN and the EAnt, MAnsnAL. The greatest re gularity prevailed. The Tickets for this day have been' issued to an equal extent. Orders have been given for the Peers, Privy Council lors, Knights Grand Crosses, and other indivi duals who are to take part in the Coronation Procession, to wear ruffs. It has been deter mined to suspend banners from all the figures of angels which terminate the Gothic arches sup porting the roof of Westminster Hall. The Royal Arms will furnish the subject for each banner, and the effect produced will no doubt be ex tremely pleasing. It was intended to place a transparency of the Royal Arms in the window immediately over the triumphal arch, but it is feared this cannot be completed in time.—The final decorations of Westminster Hall and the Abbey will not be commenced till after the pub lic shall have been gratified to the extent pro posed by the Loaf) GREAT CII.I3II3EILA rogit tt On the Perfortnanee4 in Tragedy and Comr_sdy , of MISS DANCE: Our Rosc'us, as REYNOLDS has finely display'd, Each Muse of the Stage strove to gain, But GAURICK seem'd caught by the frOlicksome Maid, Augmenting Melpomene's pain.

Mr. SCARLET T applied to their Lordships to grant a Rule to show cause why a Special Jury List, furnished by the Sheriff to the Master of the Crown-office, in this case, should not be set aside, and a new list furnished. The Learned Counsel rested his motion upon the fourth and fifth Statutes of George the Second, which provided that no Special Juror should within the space of two years from hii having filled that office be again included in the Special Jury List. Ile had an affidavit which stated that within the last Term several of those Jurors, whose names wer e to be fo u nd in the list now furnished, had served upon Special Juries. . The CHIEF JUSTICE thought that the object of the Statutes to which allusion had been made by the Learned Counsel, was to relieve Jurors from the severe pressure of a too laborious duty. But no complaint of that nature had been made, and it was not to be supposed that without extreme inconvenience, if not to the total suspension of justice, a rule of this description could. be conceded. It would, in fact, operate in such a way as effectually to exclude the most competent individuals from rill; ing the situation of Special Jurors.—Rule refused. ILCHESTEIt INQUIRY.-The Commissioners ap.- pointed to investigate the serious charges brought against Mr. Bridle, Governor of th e Gaol of P. chester, terminated their arduous labours on turday evening la t. After four months unceai;. ing exertion of the great green-eyed radical Hunt, his host of adherents without, 200 culprits within—after fourteen days of inquiry by a Com mittee, and 36 by the Commissioners of the House of Commons, not a single charge has been substantiated against the Covertor. Qn .the contrary, his conduct has been proved to be most laudable ; although in preserving peace, good order and industry in gaol, and in protecting the weak, the unsuspecting and well behaved part of the community consigned to his care, from those whose desperate conduct and disappointment were a perpetual annoyance to their fellows in. adversity, he was obliged to exercise occasional, punishment. Hunt's mortification is extreme, and has produced a visible alteration in his per son.—(Morning Post.) So great is the number of Sparrows in the H lines of Cum berland—and such have been the eff.:tas of t! eir visitation— that the farmers in that part of the country have absolutely been driven to the necessity of forming a Society for their destruction ; which seems to promise the desired success. The regulations of the Society are simply—tn give one. halfpenny for every four eggs that are delivered to their Secretary, and a penny for every old sparrow : and to contribute equally.towards the funds. The mortality in the feathered species is, in conse quence, very great. _ _ Yesterday se'nnight, a man in the service of Mr. MACKENZIE incautiously discharged a fowl ing piece at a pidgeon, at Church Farm, East Woodhay,near Newbury; the wadding alighting on some thatch, caught lire, in consequence of which three barns were totally destroyed, to gether with a stable, cow-house, piggeries, a sow arid eight pigs, several stacks of hay, an oat-rick, and about two loads of threshed wheat. A widow of the name of MILLER, IS now 'MR:. at Lynn, at the great age 107 years, and re tains all her faculties and senses, except sight. She has lived in the reigns of the four Georges, and well remembers the Coronation of GEORGE the FIRST. SUICIDE.—An Inquisition was taken yester , day before J. W. UNWIN, Esq. Coroner, at the White Hart Tavern, 'Wheeler-street, Spitaltields, on view of the body of Mr. Thomas Taw les, aged • about 40 years. It was proved that the deceased' . was in a disturbed state of mind, and the Jury •' returned a verdict, 44 that the deceased put a period to his existence by hanging himself, being at the time-in a state of temporary mental de rangement." DREADFUL SUICIDE.--Tuesday afternoon, a young woman went into a shop the Borough to purchase some articles.
