Atter the specimen she has already given Of her capacity; it is hardly ne cessary to observe that the. difference in the size of the two Houses had no effect on her .vocal powers. She was equally distintt and equally great through. out ; and the Audience, as on her two further appear ance-s, testified their approbation in the loudest man Der. The taste of the Public is, upon this occasion, the same..as that of the' musical amateur ;.and the songs, Which have been uniformly encored by all parts of the House, are those in winch she certainly displays the greatest science, " Ltt not rage," and " The Sol ller tirid." , Mrs. MouNTAIN'S Arbates was not unworthy of the Mandane of the night. As the music was Uri. ginally adapted to a voice more delicate than that of 1.17 C L EDON, she was of course more at home in the character. She was highly applauded through out, and particularly in the between her and Nandane, " For thee I live, my dearest." Kr Artabanes, displayed his usual taste ; and DIGNUM and Mrs. BLAND, particularly the latter, were much applauded.' The -:solanagers are entitled to great credit for the splendid manner in which the Piece is embellished. The scene of the judgment On Arbaces, and the last scene of the Piece were very superb ; in the latter a Procession was introduced. hough, the genius of the English language, and consequently the taste of the Public, does not well accord witll kLcitative, the Opera of Artaxerxes, supported as it is at both houses, promises to be a faVourite, and to draw full houses for some time to come. That of last night was very respectable. 'Among a number of persons of distindion were the PRINCE of WALES and the STADTHOLDER. Ce*era-Garda:, Against the at traaion of harmony and Mrs. BIL LINGT6N at Drury-lane, Covent-Garden last night produced two no,.elties, a new Comedy called in. tegrity, and a new Performer: the Play, we believe is a translation from tine German. •It • seems to be the uniform design of all the modern . Dramatic Writers of that Country, either *to paint vice in such alluring colours, that it en. gages afFeition though it cannot procure esteem ; eir else to draw a picture ofstich perfeet, such romantic meratitv that though it -may compel admiration, Y et it defies imitation.—The hero of the Piece in quest ion is of the latter character, and th a t nothi ng k ;e l ',bwantiog to its singularity, he ism Lawyer. 1" -lately seen benevolent Jews, philosophical , es, and we are now -presented with an /Jones% l ' aw -rer, who prefers truth. and justice to profes_ eminence and riches, • who, though almost in the extreme of poverty, will take no fees for sup_ Porting a just cause, and who «ill not undertake 4 bad one.; who loves independence so much, that though he sees his mother almost starving, yet he will not suffer her to take a pension, to which she is entitled by the services of her late husband. ' • It is unnecessary to enter into a detail of the plot. lorincteed ) the whole Play,consists only' in a series of temptations upon the virtue and chastity of the Immaculate advocate. The language is full of sen timent, often bombastic, .often common place, and sometimes ridiculous. The descriptions of distress are of nature to excite disgust rather than pity.— Cold and lutoger, arising from, poverty, are not fit subjeas for dramatic representation. 'The minute. descriptions of German Dramatists nave frequently been the . theme of ridicule. This , P lay is not destitute of them, and we believe that -the Audience were last night, for the first time, pre sented•on the Stage with a view of a woman engaged in that -very useful domestic employment ironing.

THE welcome news Britannia's Sons haVe heard, Soft Pity's prayers have sheath'd the crirriSon'd sword ; Upon her Foes just vengeance she has hurl'kl, And now to Peace restores the suffering World. Europe beholds her triumphs With amaze, E'en distant Egypt joins the Shout of praise ! 'Tis borne with rapture far as Nile from Thames, Proclaim'd by Echo floating down their streamt ; The frowning helmet and the pciitited lance, No longer scare the pallid Sons of France / Invasion, sickening at the thought; retires— That fee'ele Boaster in the dream expires, The clang of siiins, the cannon's thunders cease, Furi'd are our .Ensigns in th.tlap of Peace— Those Ensigns which so lately swept the wave, And GEORGE returns the Trident Nzr.r u NE gave. Peace, welcome Peace, with all her smiling Train, Re-visits this her favourite Isle again ; The swelling sails of Commerce seek the shore; Returning Wealth tire drooping Arts restore, And doubly sweet the Shepherd's reed will spund, Proclaiiniag Peace to all the vallies round ; Whilst laughing C ER iss clasps her ample horn, And PLENTY heaps it with the golden corn. Thus bless'd, thus happy, !Et our thanks be giv'n, Oh raise, my Sons, your orii.-ons to He y%) Long, long niay Peace preserve her Halcyon Reign, Nor War's dire note di4turo the Land again. • BURY, OCT. 7.—Lord HERVEY, M.P. for this Borough, and Under Jccretary of State, with thAr respectful attention to ins Constituents which merits commendation, dispatched, an express to this town late on Thursday-night, with the gratifying intel ligence of the Preliminaries of Peace being signed, winch reached Bury about eight o'clock on the Friday morning, and was therefore known here several hours be:owe it was generally plibliShed even in the Metropolis. The bells were instantly rung, and dontinued throughout the day, and. in the even ing there was a lame bonfire in the Market. place. Joy indied pervaded every countenance, and Peace! Peace !. resounded tram every tongue. The mani festations of happiness, excited by this event, have been general in every town and village, and " from the '—astie to the Cot," all alike express their satis faction at the important event. The Norwich Expedition, which passed through Ntwmarktt aboth halt past twelve on Saturday morning, ()rough( to that•piace the first intelligence of the Prelimihl:te:i of Peace being signed, when the ringers of ulat town were i,nmediate►y called up, and rang,throughout the whole night and following day, in the evening of which the town was ele gantly illuminated. LYNN, Oc.r. 6.—No sooner had the happy event reached this town on Saturday morning of the sign ing of the Preliminaries of Peace, than joy pervaded the countenances of all descriptions of people. The bells were set ringing, guns were fired both from the St. Ann's Fort and the Shipping, and flags and other emblems of joy were displayed froM the win. dows of the respective houses ; towards the close of the day the Loyal Volunteers of this town, under the command of Major Everard, were drawn up on the Market-hill, and fired three vollies on the oc casion, amidst the reiterated huzzas and plaudits of upwards of 3000 people. Nov. w i cH, OCT. 7. The unexpeaed news brought by nine o'clock on Saturday morning by the . Expedition coach (two hours before its usual time) operated upon the feelings of the inhabitants of this city like an eleclric shock ; general joy per vaded every heart and countenance, which immi rested itself in various Ways, by the hallowing and shouting of the multitude ; men of all parties indis criminately shaking hands, and congratulating each other on the news; ringing of bells and firing of guns succeeded.- In the afternoon the Norwich Volunteers, with the ParoChial Corps, were drawn up in the Market place, and fired a feu de jgd• and three excellent vol lies ; in the evening a large bonfire was lighted up,. and kept burning till five o'clock on Sunday morn.: ing. Colours were displayed on the several churches ; St. Peter's harmonious peal, and the bells of many other parishes, were rung for three days.. So great was the pleasure felt on the occasion, that many never inquired on what terms Peace was ol.k. taincd. `litut..—The intelligence respeeting the signing of the Preliminaries of Peace was received with enthusiasm by all ranks of people. The horses were instantly unfastened from the Mail, and the coach drawn triumphantly for upwards of three hours through the principal streets of the town ; the bells re-echoed the loud huzzas by ringing mer.. rily throughout the day ; a general display of flags from the steeples, &c. took place.—But we are sorry to add,. dm in consequence' of the unguarded ze*l of •the sailors, &c. who conduaed the Mail Coach in triumph round the town (literally crowded both inside . • . and out with the elevated Tars),. the same was overturned in the Market place ; by which accident a.yo.ung man was so severely hurt, that he' died in the lnfirMary before surgical assistance could he of any elf , -.ft • another was conveyed therewith. two broken ribs ; the guard (who was not suffered to lea Ve 114" crlail 1,;...1 . 1h . 14 is it 'goy(' )1 : :• ; a n d several others are cunsiderabiv bruised.

Tf r:ellowing circumstance, which materially Zeds the Privileges of the Corporation of London, ;:ncl the Rights of the Citizens, occurred yesterday before the Lotto MAYOR. Mr. BOLT, of Thames -street, one of the princi pal Warehousemen in the:City of London, was summoned, at the instance of three of the Fellow_ ship Porters, for having removed a quantity of potatoes from one place to another, withourhaving, in compliance with the customs of the City, em ployed either them or other of the , Fellowship Porters - in so dOilig. They insisted; that by the custom of the City; confirmed by various Charters, no persons but Fellowship Porters, appointed by the 'Corporation, had right to remove goods of any kind within the jurisdiction of the City, under the penalties contained in its bye-laws. On the other hand, Mr. BOLT maintained, that the Charters of the City authorized no such custom as the one contended for by the Fellowship Porters ; but that it was a privilege founded on an unjust principle of monopoly. Besides, the custom, ad mitting its existence, could have no application whatever to him; the goods he had removed were not the property of. persons to whom he ailed as agent, neithei had they been brought to market ; they were his own private property, had been cul tivated on his own estate, conveyed in his own barge, and landed on his own premises. Wishing, for his convenience, to remove them, he had done so, employing only his own servants, who were all Freemen of the City. It was not the value of the demand by the Fellowship Porters that induced him to resist it ; his objc was to rescue himself and his Fellow-citizens from an assumed and unfounded claim, the basis of Vltieh was unjust extortion. He declared it was one he should hold himself bound not to submit to ;,and was ready to meet the Fellow ship Porters, where each party would have the ad vantage of an impartial Judge, and an intelligent Jury: The LORD MAYOR, with the utmost candour, professed himself inadequate to the deterthination of such a question. He could only reconynend an appeal to tltat Tribunal which is deemed most adapt ed to its investigation. Mr. BOLT said, if an Anion was brought against him, -he shbold certainly defend it. It was at length agreed, that .the respeetive Solici tors of the parties should meet and determine upon the most eligible manner of bringing tile question to an ultimate decision in a Court of Law. A Pilot of the Trinity-House was summoned by the Harbour-Master of the River Thames, for pre suming, in violation of the 29th Geo. 111. c. 69, to moor a vessel contrary to the Harbour-Master's direditons. The fats Wa3 proved, and 'the Pilot alledged igno rance of the law as his excuse. The LORD MAYOR was willing to overlook his offence ; but he desired it to be perteftly understood, that ignorance cf the law was an excuse he would not in futuie admit. The Trinity-House Pilots were bound to know a law which so materially afekied them. If they were above attending to it, and other complaints were made on the subjed, he should try what could be effeded by enforcing the provisions of the Ad. EDINBURGH, OCTOBER 5. THE moment the post arrived this morning, the joyful and welcome news of Peace were spread over the whole city and suburbs ; and the chearful-coon tcniulee of every individual expressed the glad tid ings. Mutual congratulat ions were indeed the order of the day ; and what heightens the general joy is, that Peace comes hand in hand with her lovely sister Plenty our. ab►rndant harvest being now crowned with the certain intelligence of an honour able Peace. A very extensive shoal of herrings were lately observed between Fraserburgh and Peterhead,mov img to the westward: A small take of herrings was in the Frith of Forth, above the Ferries, on Friday last. A few have been got off Bruntisland ; but there are only two bred fishermen in that town, so that few trials have been made. A great number of pilchards are in the Frith, of a good quality. Within this fortnight past vast numbers of dog fish have been seen in the river Tay. Small boats have been in danger of oversetting by them. They are of a large size, many upward of ,to feet in length. A Mr. VACHER, of Heckford Farm, near Poole, last year planted one potatoe, which produced him 335' in number, and there would have been still more,'had not a boy loft one of the eyes after the potatoe • was cut in pieces. The Farmer having saved the whole of them, had them planted, which he has now dug up, and finds that they have multi plied to the number of 9236, and weighs 13 cwt. 3 qrs. which certainly is a very great increase from one single root in two years. On Tuesday evening, about half past six o'clock, as Mr. Brown was passing through Twickenham in a one-horse chair, on his road to Chertsey; a man threw a serpent at him, which burst in his mare's face. She instantly ran away, and knocked clown a buy in the street. The wheel passed over his ribs and bruised him, but broke no bones. She was stopped on Twickenham Bridge, on th 4 Brut. ford road, without doing further damage. PUBLIc-OFFICE,HATTON-GAP4EN.—Wednes , day night, a young man of the nat*. 9 lßint‘m un derwent an examination, on a charge - Whaling, on Friday night, during the rejoicing on account of the Peace, discharged a loaded pistol, the egntents of which strut]: the temple of Mrs. Bowden, as she stood at her cellar-door, in Eagle.streer, Red Lion ; Square, whereby her eye was knocked out, and ber skull fraftured.

VI.--~AORICV LTV RE AistD COMMERCE. 14.. The Country being essentially agricultural, cannot suffer the smallest interruption in the labours of its cultivators. 15. Every habitation. is a manufacture, which obtains the union of the proprietor and the cultiva tor ; it is the tranquil asylum of an industrious and well regulated tinnily, of which the proprietor of the soil, or his representative, is necessarily the father. z 6. EVery cultivator is a member of this' family, and is entitled to a share in its revenues. Evety change that is made in a habitation on the part of the cultivator tends to its ruin. In order to re.. preSs a' vice equally fatal to the Colo►y, and opposite to the public good, the Governor has made all the regulations or Police whiCh circumstances require, and which are founded on the regulations of the tzth 06 - tober, 9th year, and on the Proclamation of Bth February, published by General ToussArNt 1.91/VI.RTURE. • 17.
