THE PRINCE REGEN r's ACQUATIC TRIP.

The Prince Re.rent left Carlton House late on Fri-
day se'nnight, tUr Brighton. On Monday morning, about
ten o'clock, his Royal Highness, accompanied. by the
two Admirals, Sir George Campbell and Sir Edmund
Nagle, left the Pavilion, passing down the Steyne to
the water's edge, and embarked on board the six-oared
cutter of the Tigris frigate, where the Royal standard
was immediately hoisted. At this instant Royal sa-
lutes were fired from the Tigris, the Grecian, a brig of
war, and the sloop yacht of Sir William Curtis, which,
with Sir William, came in the day before. The cutter
proceeded to the Royal George yacht, on boarding
which the Royal standard wits again hoisted ut the
main, and the yacht, with the whole of the vessels of
war, then stool to the westward. At halt' past eight
in the evening, the Regent disembarked amidst the ac-
clamations of the populace, whose greetings he re-
turned by bowing as he passed.—On Wednesday the
Tiber frigate, Captain Dacres, arrived in Brighton
roads. At eleven o'clock the Prince Regent, accom-
panied by the whole retinue of the nubility at the Pa-
fur the second time went on board the Royal
George yacht, which was lying at the distance of
about three miles from the shore. As his Royal High-
ness stepped into the barge, discharges of cannon t(xik
place from the Inconstant and the 'fiber frigates, and
the several gun-brigs in the roads. These salutes
were renewed when the Prince Regent arrived on
board the yacht. After his Royal Highness had
stepped into the barge, he condescendingly waved his
hat to the numerous assemblage that lined the beach
and cliffs. The whole of the vessels sailed to the
eastward of the town, and at half past one the frigates
and sloops were ranged in line of battle and exhibited
all the manoeuvres of an engagement, which were
visible from the shore. By two o'clock the firing had
ceased, and a general chase commenced to the west-
ward. Sir NV illia in Curtis embarked on board his
yacht, which had been previously provisioned for a
voyage to Portsmouth. As the worthy Alderman was
in the secret of the intended sham-fight, he dauntlessly
approached the sc.aie ()f action, and nobly resigning him-
s,:lf to his flue was captured, and sent as a prisoner on
board the Royal yacht.

MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE.

Friday night, between Wand 11 o'clock, a hackney coach drew MD •
in Fleet-street, nearly opposite to Chancery-lane, agreeable to the a_
rections which the driver had received from. a gentleman whom he had
taken up in Piccadilly. .On ,opening the door, he found the gentle-
man in W state of complete insensibility. An alarms being given, and
the constable and some waschmen of St. Dunstan's assisting, the body
apparently Helots, was conveyed to the Rainbow public-horse, close
to the entrance of the Inner Temple, Mr..Johnsmi, the landlowl,.vexy
htunancly gave every possible assisuince, and medical aid was.iinsne-
diately sent for. Mr. Potts, of Fleet-street, and Mr. Owen of Chan-
eery-lane, were in attendance in the course of a few minutes, but all
their exertions prove; unavailing. The vital spark was extinct. Upon
examining the pockets of die detx.astxl, there were found a phial With/
the esinains of laudanum he is supposed ,to have taken..e 11. note
some.shillings, a silver watch, an eye glass, and a half sheet of letter .
paper, containing the followinxciords, partly written with a pen, and
partly with a pencil :
" A persecution the

can be imagined, has driven me to despair.—l have nething to see*
but the grave to hide inwand to terminate my miseries.

'• P. DACY." •
In Pencil.—" God forgive the authors and promoters of ray
death."
The unfortunate-man was rather gemeely dressed, about five feet
nine inches high, well uncle, and about five and thirty years old.
His countenance was marked with some expression, and his hands
remarkahle small. This minute description is given, thas lye
friends or relatives may be enabled to rec:olise the body, winch still i
lies at the ltainbow.

THE Paris papers to' Tuesday last have been re-
ceived. The Chamber of Deputies have been oc-
cupied chiefly with the discussion of a law for
continuing the restraint over the press, in the King's
hands, another year. On Saturday, M. Raver pre-
sented a report of the commissi m upon this subject,
which prlposed the adoption of the law without any
ameachnent. No strong opposition may be expected,
as no more thaa 44 members inscribed their names to
vpeak for and against the question. The luau is said
not to be yet concluded. From the observations which
made in our last, publication up(ut this transaction,
it will be seen, that it is entirely a niattr ofprivate in-
terest and concern ; and we cannot perceive upon what

DRURY-LANE.

SOUTHERN'S tragedy of Oroonoko was revived last
week at this theatre, decorated with some very hand-
some scenery. From the present dearth of ti lunatic
talent, our managers are obliged, for the sake of variety,
to have frequent recourse to the shelf, in order to as-
certain if, among our slumbering Bards, there still re-
mains one ray of unextinguished tire. We had, in-
deed, imagined, that the Royal Slave was long since
fully consigned to the tomb ; and we arc inclined to
think, that although the magic genius of KEAN has for
a while waked him from the dead, he still carries his
winding-sheet about him, and seems destined soon to
retrace his steps to the region of silence. As this play
was originally represented, it was a monstrous combina-
tion of farce and tragedy. The levity of the firmer
was intended to relieve the deep colouring of the latter,
and was, at the same time, the only portion of the com-
position which came recommended by liveliness and
fluctuation of incidenc. The tragical part is perfectly
isolated: it loses nothing by appearing without the
companion which the poet meant fin it ; but, at the
same time, in this manlier, it is much too short, and is
withall incapable of exciting any great and lasting in-
terest. We do not mean to take from KEAN the merits
which belong to him. He, so far like Mitkly, turns
into gold every thing which he touches. The cha-
racter of Orounoko, however, will never add to his
splendid reputation. It is too whining and too equal
to suit his powers. It exhibits none of those way-
ward and impetuous feelings—none of those mighty
combats among the passions which resemble the con-
fliction of electric clouds, and the thunder of which he
rolls forth with so minh majesty. Who could express
with dignity such au apostrophe as this ?

Thou God adored ! thoa ever glorious sea,

1 moinda was personated loy Miss SOMERVILLE. Her
conception of the character was throughout appropriate
—her appearance at the commencement perfectly in
unison with the desolation of her heart—and her deli-
vers-, so far as concerned her voice, was unifOrtnly chaste
and expressive. But we would wish that this charm-
ing candidate for exalted fame would yield more freely
to the inspirations of her genius. There is a fertility
and vividness of imagination in every tone of hers, but
it never extends to her attitudes and gesture. She
seems, in truth,. to treat the Muses with a species of
coyness, and though she certainly is one of their special
favourites, sh 3 is too diffident to believe :o. Mr. RAE
perfhrmed Aboun with uncommon animation. His
figure and manner are well calculated to sustain this
character, and to us he appeared to divide the laurels of
the night with his royal friend and master.

This due/to was encored, and deservedly. Both the per-
formers sustained their parts with great skill and exci-
ted the rapturous applause of the audience. There
was one air sung by Madame ninon, pier Axle,
which we noticed as much for the excellence of her
execution, as for that of Mr. WEICIISELL who accom-
panied her on the violin—we have seldom heard any
thing to equal it. CntveLLU represented the Marquis; he
looked the character well, and both his acting and sing-
ing were in a superior style. Madame PssTA persona-

at the English Opera, he has not brought out any thing
so ludicrously effective as his grand Parody on non Gi-

ence with laughter, from the first line to the filling of
the curtain. Every point in the Opera. as well as in the
Pantomime Ballet, is most forcibly retained, and placed
in a most whimsical point of view. The end of the
.first Act called down six or s..wen distinct plaudits ;
and it was announced for repetition amidst the loudest
and most general assent we have ever witnessed.

MISCELLANIES.

VEG ETABLE PHOSPHORS n interesting case of
this nature is related by A. F. Nt Aity, Esq. in a letter
to Dr. Wollaston, the learned set .etary of the Royal
Society. Mr. Mornay whilst in ,71razil, had an oppor-
tunity of viewing most accurately the very curious plant
called " Cipo de Cunatuun," which, is a climber, but
destitute of leaves or prickles, and seems a species of
Euphorbium. When Mr. Mornay cut this plant with
his hunger, in the dusk of the evening, the wounds in-
flicted presented a beautiful luminous line, which was
not transient, but lasted for several seconds, or a quar-
ter of a minute. Takin; up a piece of the plant, he bent
it in the dark until the skin cracked, when every crack
chewed the same light, of a phosphorescent appearance.
He continued to bend the twig until the milky juice
dropped out ; when sack drop was a drop of tire, much
like inflamed tallow when falliag.

COVENT-GARDEN.

A new after-piece called, Th. Lilperline, was brought
out at this theatre on Tuesday night, with Mozart's
music to the opera of Don Giovanni. Whether it was
the effect of the language or the fault of the singers we
do not know, but we were upon the whole disappointed
It is not enough that an opera is done out of Italian,
unless it is also done into English. With respect to the
acting, the part of Loporello, by Liston, was the best
sustained, and had sonic comic paint. The song also, in
which he gives the list of his muster's mistresses, was
well managed, as a mixture of the serious, and bur-
lesque on the Italian opera We cannot give much praise
to Charles Kemble's Don Juan. Miss Stephens's Zerfina,
of which great expectations were entertained, was, we
thought, a failure. The music, with state Jiw excep-
tions, was well arranged by Bishop, from Mozart's
Opera. The celebrated duet, sung in the original by
Don Juan and Zerlina, pleased us the least ; fbr, by
transferring the part of Don Juan to .Ifassello, the whole
effect of the sentiment was lost. The piece was not
very enthusiastically received ; Miss Stephens's song of
" Lis! and I'll find love," translated front redrui Carino,
was the only one that was encored ; but the opera was
given out for repetition without opposition.

NI. Louis, of Valence, fortherly Captain in the ser-
vice of Naples, has just invented, after long researches,
a machine, which solves, us far as can be reasonably ex-
pecte,l, the problem of perpetual motion. lie has thund
means to raise a column of water, strong enough to force
another to the same height, which produces, in its turn
the same effect. Thus, when the impulse is once given,
this machine will perpetualy retain its action, if there
exists a fluid, which does not lose by evaporation, or
material intlistructible by use. One ►nay, however, em-
ploy a quantity of water sufficient to keep the machine
in play fi►r several years. This same machine may be
employed us the impelling power, for the production of
various kinds of regular motions. The inventor proposd
to adapt an clepsydra to it, and he is convine.sl that 'by
means of a basin or reservoir, a private house might de-
rive various advantages by it.

Private letters from Spain say, that 300 Officers
were arrested at the same dine with General Lacy, and
for the sane reasons. They say that all the officers of

A letter from Barcelona declares, that similar attempts
had been successful at St. Jaques, in Galicia. The
Spaniards who are sincerely attached to KingTerdinand,

DREsses or Wont.N.—Could a school be instituted
for the study of true taste in the thrills us well as co.
lours, proper to female attire, somethiug like data
might b.: established for the few, who would be found
willing to give up heterogeneous variety tir elementary
principles. Whatever might be the result with regard
to the many, the enlightened few must approve of sag,.
g.‘stons, which tend to improve the taste, and adorn
the natural beauty of the fair sex, when advanced in
that clear, candid, and instructive manner. It would
appear, that the most clear and brilliant complexions
wii I admit of, and agree with, the most clear and pri..
motive colours in dress and ornament, but not of too
deep a tincture. The primitive colours being red,
yellow and blue, any two of those colours, equally
mixed, becomes the direct opposite to the remaining one..
The three principal compounds being orange, green and
purple ; when any one of these secondary colours is
compounded with one of the primitive, the purity of
both is lowered, or (as the artist terms it) neutralized,
because it is a compound of the three primitives.—
Orange is the compound which is opposite to blue ;
green opposes red : purple is the grel.test contrast to
yellow. Either of the three primitive colours as well as
the three compounds, blends harmoniously with white.
