Lord HENRY PETTY, as Chancellor of the Exche quer, has signified his , desire to receive the Gentle men who usually bid for the State Lotteries, to morrow niorning. The celebrated colle6tion of medals which be longed to the late Dr. WILLIAM HUNTER has, it seems, been purchased in order to being reposited at Glasgow. It was understood that this colledion was to be added to that in the British Museum. The sublime Oratorio of -The Messiah was well attended last night at Covent-Garden Theatre. It was also well performed. Between the Ails Mr. NEATE obtained much applause by biS performance of one of STEIBELT'S Concertos on the pipo-forte. ANCIENT CONCERT.—The fifth 'performance of these Concerts, for the present season, took place last night, as usual, at the Hanover-square Rooms. The Earl of DARNLEY was again the presiding pi redor, in the room of Lord Frrzwir.L.Lim. The opening Piece was the Overture and Dead March in Saul. Mrs. BILLINGToN and HARRIsoN particu larly distinguished. themselves ill the charming Duet " What's sweeter than the new blown rose ?" Mr. J. B. SALE, who is much improved, acquitted him-' self very ably in " Pop'lous Cities please us then,' The tine Chorus, from Deboiab, " The great King of Kings," 'closed the first a& with grandeur and very ,impressive effea. GLucK'S celebrated Over ture and Minuet, from Ipkikenia, commenced the second a&. In the course of this _act the fine old -music of Macbeth received due advantage from tht efforts of BARTLEMAN, VAUGHAN, aneSALE, jun. HARRIWN, Mrs. VAUGHAN, BARTLEMAN, and Mrs. BILLINdTON, gave delightful effed to the well known Air of " Gently touch the warbling lyre," as harmonized by Dr. HAYES:" The whole of the Concert went off. with admirable effea, and was much applauded by an elegant and numerous audi tory, among whom was'the PRINCE of WALES, and many of the higher Nobility. Mr. COBB'S long-expeeted Opera will most pro bably be among the novelties at Drurp=lane Theatre this seasbn. BRAHAM is to supply the music. The name of Mr. CUMBERLAND'S new Drama, A Hint to Husbands,l promises some good conjugal instruaion. It will become a popular play, indeed, if it should contain any hint that may avert the horrors of a Curtain Lecture. Sir JAMES BLAND BURGES, whose poetical tal en t s are deservedly admired, gives a Prologue to his friend C6MBERLAND'S New Drama. The Epi logue comes from the literary veteran . himself.. An incident occurred in the House of Commons yesterday which created much pleasantry. The SPE'AKEK, in putting the qtiestion for committing k ikaXANDER TROTTBR to the custody of the Serjeant 'at'Arms, substituted the name of ALEKANDER DA vrsow. This qui-pro quo, for putting in durance the Treasurer'of the Ordnance in place of the Ex- Paymaster of the ,Navy, convulsed the House with . laughizr. An accident of a serious nature happened on. day evening, at Mrs. Asifs, of Linton. The' family had been somewhat alarmed by the appearance of persons lurking about the house for some nights, and there having been several robberies in the neigh bourhood lately,' they thought they would be pre pared ; accordingly a brace o f pi s t o l s was remove d from a place where they had lain several years, and were supposed not to be loaded. The maid servant accordingly snapped one of them, which did not flash, and afterwards snapped it several times; Miss . ASH took the same pistol from the servant, and point ing it close to her sister, snapped it--;-when, to their utter astonishment, it went off, and the ball pene trated her chest, close to the collar-bone. - We learn the ball has not yet been extra&ed, but that favour able hopes are entertained of her recovery. Yet it must be considered particularly fortunate that the pistol did tot go off in the maid's hand, for once while she snapped it, she held it close to Miss 4311's head. 'On Wednesday se'nnight Mr. Da Hall, tenant, Syearshill,parish of Ferry Part-on-eraig, Fifesbire, on his return from Cupar.?larket, - fell from his horse and was killed on the spot: His body was , found two days afterwards in the fields of Ctaig, - at a little distance from clic public road. /N, Manc it •A tremendous hurricane blew on Wednesday night Idst. )‘ 10,:e -not heard of any injury done by it 'to ,the. shipping on Our (past, though many walls and chitnnies in the neighbourhood of Dublin have been prostrated by its violence. The Itirgeitae•on the,topot the KM-Of fice, representing a post-boy and horse, was carried completely away. Tuesday night a smart prest-.tpolc: pike 'on our river, when several aelive seamen Were colleetOd. The Brig Hem*, Capt. froth London th Li merick, was totally lost in Ballybeige Bity, on Mein day morning list. Five of the _crew and The Cap tain's wife are drowned. The Ship is gone to pieces., The' Fame - West Indiaman, and two 'other large Ships, which. sailed from , this Port a few days ago, to touch at Cork for convoy to Jamaica and Hon duras, were all captured by the CorOance Fredch Privateer, and sent for France. Thd Enemy took the whole crew out of. the Fame, leaving only a Lady, a Passenger, who aged as interpreter .between both crews, not a single person of the one being acquainted with the language of the' other ; and when within a quarter of a mile of the Island of Pevos, she had the good fortune to be captured by the Strenuous Cruizer, of .14. guns, Captain JOHN NUGENT, and carried safe into Guernsey. • By a private letter from-Barbadoes, we are enabled to contradict the report of the capture of Gen.Dity motin, who, with Sir EYRE COOTE, wad well at that Island the 3d of January last. To the melancholy catalogue of those who have 'allen victims to the climate in the West Indies; we deeply regret • being obliged to add the 'lathe of Capt. Wm. DRURY, of .His Majesty's Ship Drake, who died, on the Jamaica.station,' on the 31st Oef. This gallant and promising young Officer was son to our much-respe&ed Countryman, and late Com mander, Admiral DRURY : lie fell an early sacrifice to the fever, after a few days illness. • The, post-boy conveying the Mail from Waterford to Limeriek, which also contained the bags.. fr o m Carrick-on-Sair, Clonmel, and Cashel, was attacked last Friday night, near Kilfeacle, by three men, whci robbed him of the whole. BRIGHTON:, MARCH 3. On Thursday last the Pedestrians on the West Cliff Parade here, about 'half past three o'clock in the afternoon, were somewhat surprized at behold ing a thick cloud of , smoke, intermixed with flame, arising from the earth, apparently about two miles on this side of Shoreham.- Their attention had been directed towards it but a short time, when the flame seemed to scatter itself in all directions; the smoke became more heavy, and a noise like the ex t plosion of a cannon was heard. Various conjectures as to the cause of what had been heard and seep were hazarded ; and some' few individuals Monnted their horses, and rode off for the, spot from whence the smoke yet continued to ascend. What had excited so much surprize here, it was ultimately proved, Was occasioned by the following circumstance t Some wheelwrights, or earpenters, in a shop near a place on this side of Shoreham, called Egypt, had been heating some pitch in a pot placed in.an excavatton of the Cliff, when the wind blowing some of the sparks into their shop,. they fell amongst the sha vings, which were, presently after in a blaze. Nearly adjoining tile, shop ,was a, small store-house, in which were several small casks of gunpowder be longing to the Hound lievenne Cutter, to which the flame also communicated its destruatve influence, and the explosion of, the gunpowder was the con sequence. Happily,, it Was known that there was gunpowder in the store-house, which prevented , any one from approaching too near the spot during the conflagration. No, injury, therefore, when the. explosion took place, was sustained by any body, nor is the damage done in other respeEts, we hear, very considerable. NEWCASTLE, MARCH 4.---A terrible wind from the N. W.prevailed in this neighbourhood on Wed nesday night and Thursday morning last, from which there is too much ,reason to fear considerable damage has been sustained :—A stack of chinmies was blown upon the roof of a house in Savile-row, in this town, and broke through every floor from the garret to the laundry; happily, however, without in juring any person. Another house in Northumber land-street was nearly unroofed by the violence of the tempest ; and the large temporary building, lately employed for the purpose . of exhibiting the Pa norama of Seringapatam, was levelled to the ground. 'Tuesday, a woman 'of depraved charaaer, at , Chatham, who had been left by a corporal of the Guards, with whom she had lived for a considerable time, took the desperate resolution of jumping down a well ; 7 —She fell a distance of nearly sixty feet, and Was so- dreadfully lacerated by the ,force with which she was dashed to the bottom, there ,being but little water in the well, that it is impossible she: can recover. Saturday, in the Dock-yard, Chatham, fs six shipwrights were carrying a heavy piece of timber, called a Cot - puling, froth the dock side into the The seus, the brace suddenly gave way, and three of the men fell into the dock; one of whom, by the name of Harding, was struck on the breast of the timber, but fortunately riot one of them lost their lives by this accident. They were all three immediately taken to the Surgery (Harding speechless), and hopes are entertained that they will recover. The other three with very great difficulty saved them selves from the perilous etTeds which were likely to have attended this accident. _ • The following melancholy circumstance happened lately in the North of Scotland ;—A Gentleman and his wife went to bed in perfeal health, and were found- quite dead in the morning, being suffocated by a fire sof pegs in the room in which they slept. There had been no fire in the room for some time, and it is supposed the chimney had been stopt. On Thursday morning last an infant, apparently a few hours old, was found near the Inner Bridge. of the Eden, in Fifeshire. The child was carried to Lenchar,' and placed to nursery by the. Kirk Ses sion, Diligent, bqt unavailing, , inquiry has been made after the unnatural mother. But for the sa gacity of a dog, in giving the alarm, the child might have lain undiscovered until its feeble life had been e,xtinglished.by.tbe cold. :SP ORPLV G INTL LL I TGZ CE.

COURT OF KINGS BENCH, .CuxtrotAti, MARCH AT NISI PRIUS BEFORE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE ELLENEOILOUCH, AND SPECIAL JURIES. DEVAYiIES V. THROCKNioIitON .• • This was an anion upon a policy of initirance on the Ship Lord Nelson, from Liverpool to the Coast of Africa, and from thence the . West India Islands. • In the month of August, 1 . 803, the Ship in ques tion had reached the Coast of Africa, and was proceeding from Cape Coast, . to Pompa, when she was overtaken by a tornado, and driven On shore; where, the natives plundered her of all her stores; 8:c. 150 slaves, u;ith whom she was ffeighted, made their ,escape, and .'the white men belonging to the crew were taktni into the interior of the conntry, and made slaves of. The Vessel herself was also broken up by them. On the elidence of the Captain it appeared, that be had saved his chest only, containing all the portant papers relative to the loss, and brought` it to .Liverpool, where the key of hid . chest being mis• laid, he broke it open to get at them. He had • written a letter by the Minerva, of the loss, which never came to hand ; and the papers in his chest were -duplicates 'of that letter, some bills for part of his cargo, and the protest. Theedelence was, that he had but one anchor to secure his. Ship.on the eve of a tornado month, bad, tackle, and his crew sickly; that there was a con cealment on the part of the Plaintiff, and an equivo.= cation in his letter on Which the policy, was etfeated, he having referred to the Captain's letter, - which he alledged was then before the Underwriters at Li- . verpoOl ; when, from the evidence, it appeared to be locked up in the Captain's chest. This cause occupied the Court for near five hours. Lord ELLENBOROUGH left it' to the Jury to consider, whether the letter relied on by the Defendant wag fabricated to defraud the Underwriters, and that the Plaintiff had suborned the witnesses ? ar whethd he had written it in misconception and mistake ? The Jury, after a. short deliberation, fOund a ver# diet for the Plaintiff of 1501.'85. Bd. FREELAND'iI. GLOVER. This was also .an anion upon a Policy of In surazace; on the Snow Neptune, from Liverpool, to the Coast of Africa. In the month of-February, 1800, the owners re ceived a letter from the then Commander of the Vessel, stating, that in the foregoing 'month of Sep tember, in proceeding on his voyage from Old Ca labar, on the coast of Africa, for Gabon, he was boarded by a number of the natives, with p rov isions, who spoke English very well. After a few moments,- they made a furious attack on the crew ; the Captain and mate were killed on the spot, and all the crew wounded; at last they overcame the blacks, who retired; having plundered the Ship of every thing they could carry away.. Several of the crew-after wards died of their wounds ; and the gunner was obliged to take the command of the Ship, the crew being then reduced to five hands. In the subse quent month of March, • he again wrote to his owners, stating the misetiable condition of the Ship, and that .he ,had then on-board a crew consisting of nine hands -besides himself. Upon this last letter the policy in question was effected.. The Ship after wards foundered in a tornado. On the .part of the Defendant it was contended, that there was a concealment, in as much as the pre vious letter of February contained certain • fads which should have been communicated to the Un derwriters, and were not. Lord ELLENBOROUGH left this question to be de cided by. the Jury, who tbund a verdiCt of 14.7 i: los. for the Plaintiff. • FEARD V. BARCLAY. This was also an action on,a Policy of Insurance, on the *hip Jamaica Planter, from Liverpool to Tortola, which, having parted convoy in the night, after a vigorous resistance, was captured by the Era Ave French Frigate, belonging to alb ,Rochefort Squadron. The Vessel in question was proved perfealy sea worthy in every respeet ; but the deface was, that, in the body of the policy, it appeared that the. worth " to St. Vincent's" had been erased, and " Tortbla" substituted, and that a`memorandum to this effea was inserted in the margin. But it appearing on the evidence of Mr. Blacket, junior, Who had of--. feCted the policy, that the alteration and memoran dum had been made previous to the signatures of the Underwriters, a verdidt of 941. 6s. Od. was ob tained for the Plaintiff: . L1:714A CY.—Yesterday 'the wife of a tradesman, named Lovett, residing in the neighbourhood of Tower Hill, threw herself into the. Thames in a state of intoxication, from Tower Stairs. A black man, who saw.ber plunge hi, instantly swam to her assisiarice, and was the means of preserving her lire. The unfortunate female, who is the mother of a large family, now lies dangerously ill. • MANSION HOUSE.—Yesterday IPn. Oakley, a Shoemaker,,, was charged before the LORD INIAYOII with robbing his employer, Mr. Wood, of Cornhill, of ten pair of shoes and three pair of boots. The property was found at the Defendant's lodgings, after it had been missed by the Prosecutor. He was full committed for trial. ‘ ( .‘ 3
