The celehrated tragedy of 3fac.'eta was Petiorned.
2t this the:mi., nn Saturday night. The part of
Ilfor‘riA was sustained, -a second time, by Master
Ilrrry. To delineate this matrons character, he
exerted his utmost powers; yet it was a motley
pi Lure. Through the greater part cf the first three
ads, he rceived great and deserved applause ; par-
ticularly in the dagker-scene, where he seas most
successful; but, in the latter part of the piece, his
powers and v. ice were totally inadequate to sustain
its dignity. Some marks of disapprobation were
shown, towards the close of the third aft, and con•
tinued to increase till the end of the piece; when
the clarrsoar became very violent Mrs. Povec:.r.
postrtrayed the part of Lady Norbe.h, in an admit.
able manner, end received mach applause; as did
Mr. RAY Moan. for the excellent style in which he
sustained the character of Itf,cdef. The popular
drama of 7be Sltroiag Are,oo followed, and Wall
rapturiusly applauded. The house was crowded
in every part.

THE LORD MAT.Ht's ACE
On S aural ty, at twelve o clack, a Special (Newt
of A feroten was held, at Guildhall, beim e the Right
Hon. the Lord- Mayer. the htisine‘s which caoie
before them, respccled the place which the Lord
M tyor and Corporation were to take in the ensuing
procession. at Lord Nelson's funeral. The Court
sat in deliberation until near tan o'clock. A Com-
mittee ot Aldermen were appointed, and retired for
a considerable time to examine, a. it is imagined,
into several ancient precedents, which were laid
before the Court. What their final determina-
tion was, remains unknown. At two o'clock. the
Lord Mayor took the Chair in the Common
Council Chamber. The Count was attended by
sixteen Aldermen, and a great number of Common
Councilmen. Many strangers were below the bar.
The business expetted was, as expressed in the
summonses, to take into consideration a point which
deeply concerned the honour and dignity of the
City of London, the same which had heel' previous.
ly debated in the Court of Aldermen. After the
rends,* lousiness had been finished,
Mr. Sroacs rose, and, addressing the Chair.
said, he hoped th it, as the business they had come
there to deliberate on, materially concerned the
rights and privileges of the city, and, as it was likely
that they should be obliged to take the opinion of
the Law Officers on many points, he trusted there
would be no opposition made, as it was not against
any standing order, to the bar being cleared of
strangers. For his part, he wondeted how such a
praCtice could be alliwed. He was astonish.ll that
the Members of the Ciameil, after taking an oath
not to divulge the proceedings of the Court, or allow
them to he made public, could sitcom a long detate,
and see the bar crowded, as it then was.
Mr. SA 11ULL DIXON rose to order; and said, he
did nor see how the worthy gentleman could hive
any knowledge of the business that was to be sub-
mitted by the Lord Mayor, to the Court. He could
have it in no other manner than by a private con-
ference with his Lordship ; and, he was alrstost con-
vinced, that he never had any such conference; but,
even it he bad, he conceived the Court could not
ad en private information, however mpottable the
quarter might be from which it came. With ra-
sped to the oaths they had taken. the worthy gen.
tleman was of opinion, that they were not much
better than Highgate oaths, concerning the violation
of which, few persons had any scruples. There was
here a loud cry of order ! eel& • and Mr. Dixon
sat down.

The LORD NIA YOR then informed the Court, that
it was his intention to submit to them a question of
the greatest importance to the city. One which
would require the most serious deliberation on their
rights and privileges.
Ins Lordship then ordered strangers to withdraw.
His Lordsh p. we unJerstend, then inbrimed the
Court, that tram the tunic since he last met them.
he had been engaged in it continued negucialion
with His Majetty's Itti:tstcrs, upon the suSjeel of
his place the tueeral proce•sion of the late Lewd
Viscount Nelson. He had contended, he said, that

rent ; whereas, it was intended that several other
persons were to have precedence of him. His Lord-
s tip then proceeded to quote several preced:nts upon
record, particularly the case of Queen Elizabeth's
visit to St. Pant's, to ri•itnrn thanks ;-• the Almighty,
for the destru:iion of the S,sanish Armada. Also
tile cases of the visits of His present Majesty to St.
Paul's, in the ye.tr 1749 and 1791'. His Lordship
concluded an excellent speech, with assuring the
Court, that he WAS no: dirposed to sjcuijce pi of
their rights and privileges ; but to transmit them zo
post-rity, undiminished, and in the same state as
lie had received them from his predecessor. -

Application should be made direct to His M.sj isty on
this subject, to know his royal will.aoti pl-•astue.

Court, su;rgesttd his doubts as to the legality of Any

1 his produced a long arkument, in which several
Members maintained the competency of the C..urt,
as at present constituted, to transact public business,
while others contended tor the contrary position.
In this state of doubt and difficulty, the Lord
Mavar desired the proceedings of the Court of
Aldermen upon the subjeel might be read. They
haJ entered into some spirited resolutions upon
the subjea, end had appointed a dlnitation to
wait upon Lord Hawkesheriy, on Saturday,
noon ; therefore, upon an assurance from the Lord
Mayor, that he would take particular care of the
right; .4 the Corporation, as well as of his own and
those of the Court of Aldermen, the Court broke
up without coshing to 3.1 Y determination.

LAYING IN S FATE.

Yesters.l4y morning, the Painted Hall of Green.
wich Hospital, was, for the first time, opened for
the inspeaion of the public, arid the body of the
ever-to-!) lamented Hero, Lord Nelson, was laid
out in state. At ten o'clock, near tea thoo,and
people had assembled in the Court Yards of the
Hospital, anxious for admittance to the Painted
Hall; but an or der from Lord Hood, the governor
of Greenwich Hospital, was issued, stating. that
admittance could not be obtained until after the re-
turn of the Pensioners from prayers, wheh would be
at 11. TheGrecm.wich Volunteerswerepliced int lin. ,
in order to :cep order; and the River Fenclbles were
stationed close to the entrance of the Painted Hall
As soon as the doors were opened, the people rushed
in with such violence, that many would have lost their
lives, had not orders been immediately issued to
shut all the iron gates,arvi station a gu.trd at them
to prevent their being I.r(rd by the crowd. At
this moment, the screams if the women and children
were f, ightful. Several hundreds wet,- so alarmed,
that, after having struggled h,r admission for hours,
they retired without a prospect of gratiiying thAr
curio,ity. Shoes, hats, parte.", skirts of coats, rem-
nants of cloaks, ac. were flung about in all direc-
tions. By the judicious ittranternent of the Di-
rectors of this awful (ere:may. . the public were
admit•ed through the northern gates, and retired by
' the eastern, which prevented all contitsi in tli.t
Sleight other wise arise in the iagress of the oil: party,
and egress of the other. Alutut fifty persons were
admitted at a time. and the gate then an e.l ; the
pressure at every time of the opening of the gate
was dreadful; hundreds were carried away in a
state of insensibility, both men, women. aid chil-
dren. Those who su:ceerlA in gaining admittance.
had another ditliculty to encounter. At the foot of
the )(tear stairs, leading to the ball, a strong guard
of the Royal Greenwich Vclunteers. assisted by a
party cd the brave crew of the Victory, armed with
boarding pikes, were stationed. who permitted only
a f.•w to ascend at a time. Here else the pressure
was very great. Another guard was placed at the
entrance of the Great 11.a1 Itirtber, to prevent too
many persons rushing in together. lit the upper part
of the hall, which is elevated above the rest by 1 our 12
steps, a space of about sixty square feet is inclosed
by .1 r ailing, arid, in the centre, the body lies in state.
At the bead of the coffia sung three mutes, in full
dress mourning, with broad black silk scarfs. fring-d
weepers, with bags, and mourning swords; two
others stand at each side, at the loot, dressed in the
same manner. Upon tables covered with black cloth,
at each are four large gold branchres,each hold-
ing three Immense wax candles; and. beyond those,
are three more mutes at either side, seated on black
stools, and cloathed in full.dress mourning cloaks.
Above the coffin, against the wall, the arms of the des-
ceased are most brilliantly emblazoned, surrounded by
silver girandoles. escutcheons, and the stars and me-
dals of the several o: der s to which the deceased had
belonged. In the front, and at the foot of the cotin,
are placed the golden helmet, coat of mail, with tie
armorial bearings of the deceased, on a cloak of
g-111, of a most rich and hriaiant appearance, and
before the whole, affixed to the centre of tire rail-
ing, is the flag of Great Britain. made of silk, and
mast splendidly embroidered and embellish-d.
'flue ..vitale of this part of the ball is covered with
blic.l, cloth, to an elevation of about 40 feet,
and thickly studded with silver girandoles, inter-
spersed with the united escutcheons of Nein*
gad Zoete. The great body of the hall which
approaches this elevated part, is divided in the
centre by a strong wooden partition, about four
feet high, which runs to the top of the steps.
and is covered with black cloth, making two Jos-
tind passages, by which arrangement the •peastors
approach this solemn scene, at the one side, and
retire at the other. At tithes side the hall also,
other wooden partitions are 'reeled, about five feet
from the walls, so as to prorea the paintings from
injury, and about cistern feet high, also covered
with black cloth. and thickly hung with silver
girand Iles, each containing two was candles, and
interspersed with escitcheons of the united arms of
the deceased.

Upwards of fain hundred wax candles blaze in
this s'ileran scree ; and we understand that upwards
of seventeen thousand yards of black cloth hare
been expended upon it. Within this Rill every
thing is curies' on with the greatest regularky and
solemnity t each speetator approaches the sacred
spot uncovered, with veneration and respeCt for the
memory of the deceased, and retires impressed siri:h
the strung feelings of sorrow Inc the departed hero.

that there would be no more admitted till this morn.
